The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has been making strange noises for the past year. Photo: Reuters Strange sound According to The Guardian (UK), in a windy tunnel in the southwest of Ontario, California, a team of acoustic and aerodynamic experts is testing on a model of the railing of the Golden Gate Bridge. Experts have contracted to solve the mystery of a strange humming sound emanating from the famous bridge in San Francisco over the past year. Some residents living nearby feel extremely uncomfortable hearing this noise. Accordingly, this mysterious sound appears only on days with strong winds. It has been compared by some to the “ghost harmonica”, “the sound of the monks chanting”, or the “wheezing sound”. This strange sound quickly became a thrilling story in San Francisco. A music producer has put it on a track of existential fear. Some amused people consider it the “mellow song” of the bridge, others say the sound is very “creepy” and they can’t stand it. aliens made this noise. “It sounds like a noise I can imagine prison guards use to torture prisoners,” one social media user shared. But whether San Francisco people love it or hate it, engineers will get rid of it next summer. Video: The mysterious sound from the Golden Gate Bridge (Source: Youtube): The cause of the mysterious sound After residents of the city began complaining about the noise in June 2020, authorities began an investigation. They monitor this sound and use instruments to measure the vibration of the humming. They found that the sound usually comes out at 440 hz, matching the note of A. The noise occurs when the wind hits the new balustrade, installed from a slight angle, slightly north or south, relative to the normal wind from the west. “After carefully studying the phenomenon, we determined the sound was coming from the new aerodynamic railing that we installed on the west side,” said Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz, a spokesman for the Bridge Management Board. . “It is part of the Golden Gate Bridge upgrade, designed to protect the bridge by allowing it to withstand sustained high winds of up to about 160 km/h.” He said new, thinner railings have been installed to ensure the bridge doesn’t have the same problems as the ill-fated Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington. The bridge shook violently in the wind, then collapsed in 1940, shortly after a few months of construction. “So we had to go ahead with this project. As climate change leads to more extreme weather events, it is imperative that the construction be completed as soon as possible,” said Cosulich-Schwartz, adding that the building was retrofitted with wind resistance in 2016. last year at a cost of $12 million. A study conducted in 2013 showed that the maximum wind speed that the bridge can withstand is 111 km/h. Since its inauguration, the Golden Gate Bridge has been closed 3 times due to bad weather conditions, in 1951 with strong winds of 111 km/h, in 1982 with strong winds of 113 km/h and in 1983 with strong winds of 121 km /H. Fortunately, no damage occurred. So bridge engineers looked for newer thin slats that would allow the bridge to withstand winds of up to 160km/h. They just didn’t expect the bars to create such a “symphony”. Wind gusts of 160km/h are only possible in the event of a tornado, hurricane or tropical storm, said Warren Blier, a senior science official with the National Weather Service. The Golden Gate Bridge has been closed 3 times in its history due to strong winds. Photo: AP Attempts to silence the noise Meanwhile, engineers are determined to find a way to fix the problem. At engineering firm RWDI, an hour west of Toronto, a model of a bridge the size of a conference room was built in a wind tunnel. Engineers are testing various wind speeds and modifications to see if they can quell the noise. However, in the city of San Francisco, not everyone wants this noise to go away. A local blogger even created a sound list around the Golden Gate Bridge to help listeners sleep better. “I love the sound,” says Brianne Howell, a resident of west San Francisco, who shot a video of the bridge humming on one of her regular walks along the coast. “It reminds me of the weird sound in a horror movie. It’s sad to have to remove it.” Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge was started in 1933 and completed in 1937. The bridge spanning the Pacific Ocean, connecting the city of San Francisco with Marin County, has a length of up to 2,700 meters and a ground height of nearly 90 meters. . The Golden Gate Bridge is not only famous for its arduous construction process, but is also known as a tourist magnet of the United States.

I’m not a junk food person. For over 30 years, I haven’t even touched sweets. Not because of any abstinence, but basically because of the simple taste that doesn’t like sweet. Coffee also hand bo, no sugar. Seeing cake, candy is casually ignored. And the thing that always scares the most is the cake. I don’t understand why, just see the cake and dodge. But even if you’re not a person who likes to eat snacks, your mouth will still snap when you have the opportunity. The occasion here is when sitting with leaf tea, hanging out with friends. The little things, the little things on the table, will also make me finger. Of course, must be not sweet. Men’s thumbs-up is actually very common. Just look at a drinking table anywhere we will see. A few peanuts, a few spring rolls, a few pieces of toad, mango or even when the mouth is sad, just fingering the stalks of herbs is also a type of snack. That’s just talking about the type of man who rarely eats gifts like me. There are many other people, with different tastes, will eat “flying in the line” snack. For example, my brother “trumpeter” named Kien. This man is especially fond of fried dough. Every time you enter the city. Ho Chi Minh performed or recorded, he would have to make a good fried dough fight anyway. Many times, the brothers went out to drink together, had to order fried dough for him to eat to satisfy his cravings. When it comes to fried dough, I’m also startled. It’s something I’ve never eaten before. In the past, during the subsidy period, in the early 80’s, I remember every 3-4 o’clock in the afternoon, my father and a few colleagues working in the design room dragged home to make a few cups of wine. The bait is nothing. My son (me) is always sent to run errands to the top of the street to buy his father a few packets of roasted peanuts. “Wages” to buy is a separate package, sit out in a corner to sip. Northerners often drink snacks with roasted peanuts and basil. Southerners have other interesting snacks as bait. It’s raw shrimp noodles. One or two packages of noodles are broken, take the bundle of seasoning powder that comes with it, sprinkle it on it, squeeze a slice of lemon into it, that’s enough for a tray of four people who stay until late at night. And the way of picking up tiny raw noodles and sipping them is really interesting. It has the face, the sourness, the slightly sweet taste of seasoning there. With a sip of “crazy” beer (how to call a kind of beer of people in the South) or a little wine, tell a few crap stories, chat with neighbors, it is true to the spirit of “alley” of Saigon Very gong. Referring to that raw instant noodles, those who grew up in the North in the 80s and 90s will surely remember. Almost all children love to eat raw shrimp noodles. The smell of the burning compliment of the package of noodles that day was strangely impressive. Many children still crave raw noodles so much that every day when their parents are not at home, when the meal should be cooked, they break them and eat them raw and drink cold water. Quick and easy, as well as delicious. Noodles with water in the stomach and then it will not bloom. That is the logic of the playful and lazy children. Later, instant noodles lost the taste of the old days. Even the famous varieties of that day such as “Two shrimp”, “Miliket” still sold in the market could no longer retain the smell and taste of decades ago. Strictly speaking, today’s noodles are better, cleaner, better cooked to eat, but to eat raw, it loses the memory of instant noodles. Going back to the story of drinking and drinking with a pack of raw noodles of the Southern people, the spirit, the indigenous culture, it pops up very clearly there. Southerners, especially Westerners, have an interesting and strange way of life. “Hey Ut, what to do?” This can be a very common question to see if your friends are free. “Reprimanded for doing a few dirty things” is a catchphrase that also goes to the South. “Cun” is “free time” and “doing wrong” is… not doing bad things at all. “Doing bad things” in the inner region can be drinking, eating… It describes an action that is spontaneous, unfussy, liberal and impromptu. The word “doing it wrong”, must be said is too excellent. Living in the South for more than twenty years, living in the alley a lot, the relationship with the people in the alley is also close, so I learned a lot. I was also busy receiving a phone call from a fake neighbor that day asking the same questions as above, I asked in the correct voice “did some bottles? Where are you?” then received the answer “I’m at my house. I’m quiet”. “I’m alone” is actually “I’m alone” but for some reason, the “yen” sound evokes a very strange image and feeling. It shows loneliness but a loneliness without sadness. Referring to those typical languages ​​​​of the Southern people, we will certainly find it extremely diverse. “Mixed” for example. It is a way of drinking with a single glass for the whole table, rotating and drinking. Drinking this way is sentimental, but honestly, in this COVID-19 time, it evokes fear. Drinking from the same cup is easy to expose to diseases and surely people will criticize people in the garden to drink like that as dirty. But then again, is it dirtier than some well-dressed men smoking the same cigar? Dialects are incredibly interesting and, strictly speaking, we’re lucky to be in a country that is geographically spread out and dialects vary along that length. Of course, that difference may bring some difficulties and obstacles in economic and social development, but it brings a cultural diversity with many interesting colors. But in hindsight, there still seems to be an injustice to the dialect as the official dictionaries do not consider the way of saying certain particular words in common in a locality as an official entry. There is even a disdain as if it were a lisp. After all, writing is to record what people say, with one of its functions being the notation. So, when people in the Southwest region don’t say “perch” but instead “go fish”, why don’t we consider “Go” as an entry in the dictionary, with the caption “Perch” , in the South West parlance”?. What’s wrong with reading from father to son? Just like in the Central region, with the word “how” for “buffalo”, the word “nac” means “water”. To disregard the dialect in a rigid reference to the fact that there must be a standard of pronunciation, it seems that we are wasting a real cultural resource, because the way of speaking is not just speaking, it is also instructive. concept, culture and living spirit of a region. But sadly, when the dialect is being looked down on like that, in today’s press, the use of trendy words (following the trend) of young people is automatically accepted easily. This is not to denigrate the new words of young people because there are many extremely interesting words. However, the passed on and the new born should go hand in hand, as a recognition of the origin and development of a living language. By the way, ignore this one, get excited about that, is it a bait to catch the ball or not???

Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients and bodies. Refrigerated trucks are used as temporary body storage. The familiar busy streets of New York fell into silence, only the sound of ambulance sirens and the cheers of people from the windows of apartments for medical workers. After a year, New York hopes the vaccination campaign is giving the city a resurgence. About 48% of people in the city have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The number of deaths from COVID-19 in recent weeks has only recorded about 20 cases / day. New cases and hospitalizations also decreased significantly.

That’s why every girl dresses up gorgeously and beautifully in the hope that she’ll be the one to shine the brightest in the crowd. In a dinner party at the 69th Miss Universe, the Misses all chose luxurious dresses and Miss Universe Thailand wore a dress that could not be more outstanding. From the extremely eye-catching banana color tone to the sleeve design cape (cloak) helps Amadan Obdam wherever he goes, he attracts attention.

People relax and enjoy a relaxing space at St James’s Park in London, England With more than 200 million doses of vaccine already included in the vaccination campaign, the European Union (EU) is well on its way to meeting its goal of vaccinating 70% of adults this summer. In the UK, pre-ordering vaccines for prevention and early licensing of vaccines creates conditions for the country to speed up vaccination progress, helping to reduce infections and deaths. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce the next phase of lockdown easing in the UK. France is expected to have administered about 20 million adult doses of the vaccine by mid-May and reach 30 million by the end of June. With the number of new cases falling, the utilization rate of the intensive care unit (ICU) in France is expected to increase. The number of hospitals is reduced, the French Government is expected to ease the curfew soon, allowing cafes, bars and restaurants to open for business outdoors from May 19. In Germany, people who have received 2 full doses of the COVID-19 vaccine or the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections but have recovered are exempt from some regulations on travel restrictions and distance.

During the war against the French and the US, the Can Gio district formed an important base, strategically located because it was located close to the sea, near Saigon, with a dangerous terrain with immense jungle. , the rivers are crammed. In 1965, the US massively sent troops and means of war into South Vietnam. Long Tau River becomes the lifeline for military transport from the East Sea to the inner city of Saigon. In this situation, assessing the area of ​​Sac forest as an important strategic place, on April 15, 1966, the Regional Command of the Region decided to establish the special military zone of Sac forest (codename T10, later changed. The name of Doan 10 Special Forces of Sac Forest) with the main task of the strategic waterway on the Long Tau river, destroying the enemy’s treasures and yards and protecting the pedal for our supply forces. in the harsh conditions of the war zone on the water, in the “backyard” position of the enemy, the special forces of the Sac forest were built with the motto of clinging to the people, clinging to the ground, clinging to the terrain to build a heart-warming position. people; At the same time, perform the mission by all means to fight the enemy on the rivers to destroy the enemy’s supply for Saigon. Can Gio has many beautiful scenes for a long time like a fairy falling in a long sleep. One of the most famous battles that took place when the 10th Corps was first formed was the Battle of Victory ship in August 1966. The US brought Victory ship to carry about 100 tanks, armored vehicles, 2 helicopters, 20 tons of food, food … to supply to an American division, preparing for the first dry season campaign 1966 – 1967 In the river, enemy ships patrol continuously, in the sky, airplanes, and on the dense commandos. To fight, the special special forces soldiers of Sac forest have to soak in the water, bury themselves camouflage in the mud. On the morning of August 23, 1966, when the Victory ship passed, two mines of the soldier of the 10th Division blew up the ship with a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons and sunk into the riverbed with weapons. and full of creativity, during the war against the US, Group 10 forest Sac eliminated 6,200 enemy enemies, sank and burned 356 combat ships, sank 13 transport ships from 8,000 to 13,000 tons, shot down 145 Other transport ships shot down 29 helicopters, burned 110,000 tons of bombs, 250 million liters of oil and gas of the enemy … US General W. Westmoreland, Commander in Chief of the US Expeditionary Force in South Vietnam must admit, American soldiers had encountered “a strange fight in a strange war”. Can Gio was once a revolutionary base, with many glorious feats. Future seaside city After the liberation, the Can Gio area is where thousands of young volunteers have devoted their youth to building foundations for development. However, in the following years, Can Gio was still unable to make a breakthrough due to the limitations of topography, infrastructure and manpower. A clear, specific and feasible development strategy has not been outlined. Not until recently, when the Ho Chi Minh City government issued 4 decisions approving the detailed planning tasks of 1 project at the scale of 1/500 with subdivisions A, B, C, D, E with a total area of ​​more than 2,870 ha and total investment up to 10 billion USD; the project’s population scale is 228,000 people, with 8,887 million tourists / year; The project’s products are mainly urban product lines (apartments, shops, villas …) and some resort products (condotels), in order to turn Can Gio into a coastal city with a harmonious development. Modern planning combined with a friendly natural environment. As soon as the idea of ​​the city leaders was put in place, many urban planners proposed solutions for development. In which, there are big ideas such as forming “Vung Tau – Can Gio – Go Cong sea urban chain” in Can Gio bay, creating “front” of the sea to welcome opportunities to develop high value-added marine economy. and international maritime transactions, as a springboard for Ho Chi Minh City to become a gateway city more strongly connecting with the region and the world. Right now, there are many optimistic views about the future of Can Gio, when comparing this area with the world famous coastal cities such as Shenzhen (China), Miami (USA), Rotterdam ( Netherlands), Marseille (France), Dubai (UAE), Singapore and Yokohama (Japan) … In the future, when it becomes a marine tourism city, Can Gio is expected to be an attractive destination for tourists from 5 continents. Proposals for a “giant” sea reclamation project have also been made, aimed at protecting the Can Gio Biosphere Reserve. Asserting that rotating the axis to the sea and considering the sea as the “front” of the country is absolutely correct, urbanist Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa said that the proposal to bring Can Gio straight to “Can Gio city” without going up. District, becoming a modern city with tourism – service – seaport function in a chain of urban centers of international stature is necessary. However, it should be noted, with nearly 80% of the area of ​​Can Gio being forest, so it is considered the “lung” of the city, contributing to climate regulation, preventing hot wind, making the atmosphere cool. . The total area of ​​Can Gio mangrove biosphere reserve is 75,740ha, of which the core zone is 4,721ha, the buffer zone is 41,139ha and the transitional zone is 29,880ha. In 2000, UNESCO recognized Can Gio as “World Biosphere Reserve” and became the property not only of Vietnam but also of the world. Because it is a particularly “sensitive” area, UNESCO and international experts recommend special caution when developing this area. Can Gio is a valuable biosphere reserve as a shield for the environment of Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeast. Moreover, Can Gio district has about 70,000 people. According to calculations, after the projects come into effect, this land will have a static and dynamic population increasing to nearly 10 million people (of which about 9 million guests). travel). With so many people and their activities in production, activities, entertainment, festivals … will definitely cause an impact on the environment and will damage mangroves as well as more or less. affected plants and animals. Therefore, the development of the marine economy and the protection of the “armor layer” for Ho Chi Minh City is a difficult problem between hot growth and “favorable”.
