										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>When the first rain of the season pours water into the canals and ditches filled with silt, it is also the time for the dolphins to come. The hooves, bottoms, and shoals placed in the rivers in front of the house are always full of dolphins. That&#8217;s why in the early morning, market-goers go to the fish stall to see the sharks lying in the basin jumping and eroding. Knowing that the family likes fish, every time I go to the market, my mother immediately buys this fish. Sometimes cooking sour soup, sometimes deep frying, grinding to make rolls. But above all, braised cod fish is the best, so it is the mother&#8217;s priority to process it.</strong><br />
<span id="more-21256"></span> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_06_04_407_39077072/9eb3b303a141481f1150.jpg" width="625" height="468"> </p>
<p> Never knew this fish had such a funny name. No one can explain. But let&#8217;s put the name aside for now, the important thing is that the fish makes the family meal more delicious. Like the catfish (same family, but red tail, bigger), the fish has a lot of small bones, but in return, the fish meat is fatty, soft and sweet. Unlike some other freshwater fishes, porpoises (including bream) only remove the intestines, clean the gills, cut off the fins and tail. Very quick. Absolutely do not scrape fish scales, because the fish scales are soft, crunchy, strange to eat. In addition, this fish scale should be accidentally crushed, making the fish meat bitter, so the villagers just let it be. Given the job by my mother, my brother and I quickly prepared some unpleasant fish, carefully placing them in a bamboo basket to drain. Mother gently put the basket of fish into the pot to marinate. As the name of the dish is &#8220;potato braised&#8221;, so my mother never seasoned it too salty, nor sweet. Depending on the taste of each place, each person has a different way of seasoning. But do not add cooking oil or add fat to create a very greasy taste because the nature of the meat and fish head is already fat. To color the broth, you can use coconut-colored water or molasses sugar. Marinate fish for 30 minutes for firm meat. Then, my mother brought it to the stove to cook. Wood stove has the advantage that in addition to saving money on gas, it also has the advantage that the firewood burns evenly and smoldering, so the fish cooks slowly, without having to watch. When the fish water is boiling, evenly absorbed, add one and a half cups of filtered water and cook until the fish is cooked, then season again and then turn off the stove. Do not overcook the fish, it is no longer crispy, but it is crushed. Add finely chopped scallions (or basil) and pepper to enhance the flavor and keep the stomach warm. Mom gently scooped up the broth and fish on a plate. Cut a piece of fresh lemon, mother squeezed it on the fish plate. The special braised dish there, without the sourness of the lemon is missing an important part. The basket of field vegetables picked by the father behind the dike was also placed on the dining table. The rice tray is simple but cozy. Always, after the word &#8220;invite the whole family to eat rice&#8221;, I quickly pick up the vegetables with chopsticks because I love raw vegetables. Wow, the vegetables, watercress and water need to be rolled up like a spring roll and then put into the chopsticks to dip the broth in the broth. How did the fat, slightly sour, and sweet leopard taste permeate the raw vegetables? Because this fish has many bones, it must be skillful in how to pick it up and know how to eat it to fully enjoy the delicious taste. Use a spoon or chopsticks to push the fish meat horizontally, the meat will drift along each fiber, leaving the fish skeleton intact. After eating this back side, turn over to the back side. Don&#8217;t forget to use the fish head, it&#8217;s very crunchy (but remember to leave out the two fisheye balls). Putting a piece of rice in my mouth with cod meat, I felt all sorts of flavors in the tip of my tongue &#8211; wanting to eat forever even though my stomach was full. Above all, the most delicious taste is the taste of the countryside, the sacred love of a mother for her family.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The 200th anniversary of Napoleon&#8217;s death (1769-1821), this controversially detailed life and death of the Corsica-born man into an Italian aristocratic family, full of controversial details, is being check.</strong><br />
<span id="more-20282"></span> Everyone knows Ben Weider (1923-2008), founder of the International Bodybuilding Federation, born in Montreal and the man who discovered the muscular hero, movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger, but perhaps few who became aware of Weider&#8217;s legacy as co-author with New York Times editor David Hapgood of &#8220;The Murder of Napoleon,&#8221; a 1982 bestseller, translated into 15 languages, including Polish, Lithuanian, Hungarian and Russian.</p>
<p> The Hebrew edition, published in 1988 with a run of 5,000 copies, quickly sold out and has not yet been reprinted. Jack Joseph Nicholson owns the cinematic rights to the book &#8211; which reads like one is mesmerized by the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo&#8217;s Nest, directed by Milo Forman, based on the 1975 film. novel of the same name by the late writer Ken Kesey. While the book was a bestseller, academia still mocked the &#8220;poisoned&#8221; theory. Historians believe that Napoleon Bonaparte died on 5/5/1821 of stomach cancer, hepatitis or syphilis. However, Swedish dentist and amateur toxicologist Sten Forshufvud came up with his theory in 1961 – two years before US President John Kennedy was assassinated and four decades before 9/11. 2001 &#8211; by which time mythical conspiracy theories became the norm. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_31_304_39030465/fc1975bd65ff8ca1d5ee.jpg" width="625" height="381"> <em> French Emperor Napoleon dominated most of Europe for more than a decade, leading France against a series of alliances; Source: wikipedia.org.</em> The Weider-Hapgood-Forshufvud conjecture is based on Forshufvud&#8217;s analysis of Napoleon&#8217;s five hairs. The results of the laboratory analysis showed that the toxic level of arsenic (a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number33) ranged from normal to 38 times the average level. This clearly demonstrates that Napoleon was administered small amounts of Arsenic in different concentrations at different times during the 5 years before his death. It was Napoleon who raised suspicions, when he wrote in his will just three weeks before his death at the age of 51, &#8220;I was stillborn, murdered by the English butcher and assassinated&#8221;. The murder theory has gained traction over time, supported by advances in forensic science. Weider &#8211; a supporter of Napoleon&#8217;s thinking &#8211; in 1995, published after the first book with an extensive study on the same topic “The assassination of St. Helena rad review” (“Assassination at St. Helena Revisited”), which he and Forshufvud co-authored. While the two books have many fascinating details about Napoleon&#8217;s tragic final years, the central question remains &#8211; was the old Emperor murdered? The 200th anniversary of Napoleon&#8217;s death (1769-1821) &#8211; aka assassination &#8211; on May 5, the life and death of the puzzling man born on the island of Corsica into an Italian family of aristocratic descent This controversial detail is being reviewed. In contrast to history, in October 1815, Napoleon was exiled to the remote British island of Saint Helena, in the South Atlantic Ocean 1,776 km off the coast of West Africa, and died there in 1821. Napoleon had previously been imprisoned. deported to a place of youth exile on the Italian island of Elba, but escaped from prison, regrouped the Great Army la Grande Armée, and attempted to conquer Europe once more, but in the end, defeated by British and Prussian forces at Waterloo in 1812. Napoleon was, Weider argued, incapacitated on the outskirts of Brussels by his trusted aide General Charles Tristan, Marquis de Montholon (1783-1853). While ostensibly a loyal officer who followed Napoleon into exile in St. Helena, believed to be actually a spy who served as a bartender and manager of Napoleon&#8217;s liquor, put small amounts of arsenic in his favorite drink. The poison made Napoleon very sick, comatose and unable to think clearly. Over the years, little by little, poison accumulated and destroyed Napoleon&#8217;s stomach and digestive system. While the syrup, a standard ingredient in Mai Tai and many cocktails today, is made from sweet almonds, the fruit from bitter almonds can be toxic. While the wine Napoleon drank was produced in Domaine de Groot Constantia, present-day South Africa, Vader and his associates suspected that the marquis had forged antique wine before serving the former Emperor. Forshufvud and Weider observed that Napoleon tried to quench his unusual thirst by drinking large amounts of orgeat syrup containing cyanide compounds in almonds used for flavoring. They asserted that the potassium tartrate used during Napoleon&#8217;s treatment prevented his stomach from expelling these compounds, and that thirst was a symptom of intoxication. Their theory was that the calomel given to Napoleon became a drug overdose, killing him and causing extensive tissue damage. They had good reason to suspect the nobleman in the murder. While the Marquis de Montholon&#8217;s military service provided cover for him to follow Napoleon in the Emperor&#8217;s final exile, a thorough examination of his military record revealed some deception. Montholon claims to have been presented with an honorary sword from Napoleon during his victory at the Battle of Hohenlinden, 33 km east of Munich on December 3, 1800. In fact, the marquis did not participate in the campaign, as at the time, was facing expulsion from the army for corruption. Montholon was re-enlisted thanks to influential friends and family. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_31_304_39030465/41e4d740c7022e5c7713.jpg" width="625" height="746"> <em> Napoleon Bonaparte&#8217;s career and private life are still controversial; Source: wikipedia.org.</em> Nine years later, at the Battle of Jena, Montholon claimed to be wounded. But his commanding officer insisted in a later affidavit that the incident did not happen. And then during Napoleon&#8217;s first exile in 1814, Montholon lost his mission to the Royalists after only seven days, after being accused of pocketing money to pay the army in Clermont-Ferrand. Although Montholon was an immoral character and while the arsenic in Napoleon&#8217;s hair may seem questionable, it should be noted that the poison was in common use in the 19th century for a variety of purposes. With France and Britain unable to agree on a procedure for burying Napoleon in France, his body was initially interred in St. Helena, after an inconclusive autopsy. In 1840, the British government authorized the return of Napoleon&#8217;s remains to France for burial at the newly built Dome des Invalides. His coffin was opened to confirm that it still contained the former emperor. Although nearly two decades dead, Napoleon&#8217;s body is still very well preserved and has not decomposed. There may also be a scientific explanation for Napoleon&#8217;s well-preserved body condition that may have supported the poisoning hypothesis. Arsenic is famous for keeping a corpse in good condition. However, Napoleon was buried in four sealed coffins. Another explanation is that saponification (whereby meat is converted to fat) is caused by the absence of oxygen. In a 1993 interview with The Jerusalem Report, Weider dismissed the story that Napoleon suffered one last humiliation apart from losing the battle at Waterloo. According to some documents, shortly after his death, an autopsy was carried out and Francesco Antommarchi, the doctor who conducted the autopsy, removed several parts of Napoleon&#8217;s body, including his penis. Weider denied that Napoleon had lost his &#8220;weapon&#8221;, explaining that the autopsy was carried out under military protection. No one reported that any body parts were missing. However, Dr. John K. Lattimer &#8211; a urologist &#8211; purchased the purpose amputation appendage from a collector in 1977 for $3,000. It is now owned by his daughter, who has been offered to sell for more than 30 times the original purchase price. The cause of Napoleon&#8217;s death is not known with certainty. And unless the DNA is compared between Dr. Lattimer&#8217;s gruesome souvenir and the body at Les Invalides, the question will remain unanswered as to whether Napoleon&#8217;s &#8220;legacy&#8221; was &#8220;pure gold&#8221; or &#8220;wood&#8221;.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>It was only late March that the Lao wind blew. I just went against those hot winds to go to the house of Ho Thoong, son of the Hero of the People&#8217;s Armed Forces (SPV), captain of the armed police of Ho Phom in Ha Vi village, Dan Hoa commune, Minh Hoa district. , Quang Binh.</strong><br />
<span id="more-5760"></span> In the middle of the morning, he fell into a drunken stupor, squatting with his silver head on the threshold. The eyes were fluttering wildly. Seemingly familiar with uninvited guests who came to see us, he waved his hand and said, &#8220;Come on!&#8221; seems very contemptuous. I told him I wanted to find an ancient book. Just listening, Ho Thoong jumped up like a compressed spring, gave an honest smile.</p>
<p> I laugh, looking back at my sweating, red-dusted body. Perhaps Ho Thoong is right. Not because of money, there is no excuse for groping to this place in the midst of a hot and windy day. Instead of a greeting, he handed me a sarcastic cup of wine, perhaps poured from last night, then quietly turned to the corner of the house, his head so low that his white hair fell down on the wooden floor, his hands respectfully. clasped his chest and began to murmur in vows &#8230; Occasionally, Ho Thoong let out a very long voice through his teeth &#8230; Not sure what Ho Thoong was praying for, but he dragged us into the sacred space isolated in the house on stilts by the mountainside. Suddenly, a cold wind blew into the small door frame. Ho Thoong shivered. We all shivered. Apparently, Ho Thoong&#8217;s ritual to ask the gods to open treasures was fulfilled. Respectfully he took down a glossy brown bamboo tube from the roof, lifted it above his head, and said loudly: <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_10_285_38491771/a6e0b3b29bf072ae2be1.jpg" width="625" height="723"> <em> Mr. Ho Thoong and leaf book.</em> &#8211; Excessive energy! Book of leaves! The book, which each page is a long leaf, was linked together by punching two round holes at the ends and threaded together with small, durable wood ropes. On each page of the book are strange, zigzag words. Due to a very long time ago, the leaf color is yellowish but absolutely no signs of termite, rot. The inscriptions on it are still in color and sharp. Those are the unique antiques I&#8217;m looking for. * Khua is a ethnic group belonging to the Bru Van Kieu group. In Quang Binh, Khua people are concentrated mainly in the highland communes Trong Hoa, Dan Hoa, Minh Hoa district. Indeed, at the top of the mountain touching clouds, the Khua people &#8216;s lifestyle and lifestyle have been defined by default. It is a mysterious life that is free, wild but delicately faithful. The Turtle relied on the power of the mountains to survive. Incidentally, their homes never went beyond the shade of the mountain. Like never, the Khua people have never made a living beyond the mountain. The mountains give them their soul, take care of them the house rules, take care of them the source of life. The leaf book of the Khua people is a delicate combination of Heaven and Earth. The leaves are above the forest. The squid is obtained from the bile of the fish in the stream. And the wisdom of the Khua people. All blended together to form a tangible cultural product &#8211; intangible for centuries. Leaves are intact, soft and smooth. The ink is still fresh in color, black and sharp. Here all concepts of &#8220;modern&#8221; and &#8220;industry&#8221;, &#8220;space&#8221; and &#8220;time&#8221; are subdued. The source of books gives me doubts, what leaves can turn into pages ?! What fish can secrete bitter honey to make text color ?! What kind of durable forest rope is used to connect the small leaves ?! Who has the great brain that invented this totally organic book ?! Folklore researcher Dinh Thanh Du told me: The leaf book was born more than 200 years ago, written in ancient Lao by the Khua people originally from Laos. After settling in Vietnam for a while, the Khua used to use Vietnamese and gradually forgot the Lao language. The number of people who can read ancient Lao is less and less. The leaf book becomes unknown. However, with the traditional method of oral tradition, the legends recorded in the Book of Leaves are still preserved in the Khua Minh Hoa community. Mainly concentrating on three main groups of topics, including: Books and poems with stories of love between couples, love of life; genealogy book copy history, customs and practices and commandments of filial piety &#8211; ceremony &#8211; meaning &#8230;; Martial arts books copy the skills of training and protecting health from nature, how to deal with wild animals &#8230; <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_10_285_38491771/634e741c5c5eb500ec4f.jpg" width="625" height="476"> <em> Book of leaves of Khua people.</em> The birthplace and the interesting stories of &#8220;High Performance&#8221; fascinated me. Overcoming the initial shyness, I squat down to sit by Ho Thoong so I can see more clearly the antiques. Border guard Truong Vy Le gently held me back with a very small reminder, &#8220;Can&#8217;t I sit there?&#8221;. Ho Thoong nodded unanimously. It turned out that I forgot my female identity. In the Khua house, women are not allowed to hang around in the main hall. Because that is where the spirit dwells. Ho Thoong still sits cross-legged on an old and dirty mat. His dry fingers stroked very gently over the zigzag lines that curled across the long, narrow blade. It is said that once upon a time, Lao monks came to build a temple to open a monkhood in Minh Hoa with these special books. I suddenly caught a glimpse of the curving words, elongated fingers, slender bare calves, arched waistlines, curled buttocks, full breasts of young Lao girls, then fell in love with the Lama dance. Vong. Ho Thoong&#8217;s face, Ho Thoong&#8217;s eyes shone ghostly and he said like entering the book. Specific but full of education. Simple and unconditional. The Khua people are proud to have &#8220;Super high performance&#8221;. Hundreds of years or even longer, whether read or not, the oral stories from &#8220;High performance&#8221; has become the light that illuminates every bare footstep groping on each mountain of a person. Enchantment. The children of Ho Thoong family have just been exposed to sunlight from the stream. All naked and glossy black. Seeing that there were strangers at home, they all closed the door, shady discussing what was going on in Bru language. After a while, there is silence. Perhaps they were drawn to Ho Thoong&#8217;s story. Curled eyelashes, dark, round eyebrows widened. Small mouths opened up despite the drooling. Green nose brushed horizontally, brushed vertically. But it does not matter because they are growing up in the shadow of the mountain, like the Khua people hiding in the armpit of the mountain for a long time to survive. Ho Thoong&#8217;s story is not beginning, not ending. There is a story in the &#8220;Pho Ngu Pho&#8221;. And there are stories outside folklore. From the legendary god Ku Loong walking the clouds about the wind, the sky, kicking the ground to protect the Khua people&#8217;s lives to the story of his father, Hero of the People&#8217;s Army of Vietnam Ho Phom &#8211; a brave spy on two roofs of Truong Son and Khua participated. fight the enemy to save the country during the anti-American era. Ho Thoong said that this special book belongs to his grandfather, he will give it to his father, and he will give it to his son tomorrow. It all seemed like one word: “Try to keep it. That is the spiritual treasure of the Khua people ”. &#8220;Brutalized!&#8221;. In the world of the Khua people is a sacred treasure. Therefore, even though it is over the age of a hundred years, &#8220;Pho Phoc skillful&#8221; still does not have old moss. &#8220;Pho strong and talented&#8221; still lives shimmering in the minds of Khua people, purifying the Khua people&#8217;s way with an invisible but powerful culture, divine culture. Suddenly, &#8220;Pho Nguoi is very talented&#8221; expresses the cultural identity of Khua, the philosophy of Khua&#8217;s human life. Ho Thoong is still handing the pages of the book, staring far to the top of the mountain &#8230; Perhaps that is when Ho Thoong added the spirit of Khua from the word &#8220;Phoc skillful&#8221;. The book is slender and pure like body, like the soul of a new maiden Khua in the morning.</p>
