Director films for streaming service Spielberg signs with Netflix

Status: 06/22/2021 4:00 a.m.

Just a few years ago, Oscar winner Spielberg couldn’t gain much from streaming services. But now the director is surprising with an exclusive deal: Spielberg will be shooting for Netflix in the coming years.

From Marcus Schuler, ARD studio Los Angeles

The collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Netflix is also a symbolic step. One of Hollywood’s great directors basically changes sides – from the cinema screen to the television. Until recently, the 74-year-old director was still considered a proven opponent of streaming services. In an interview with the British TV broadcaster ITV he justified it three years ago: “If you get involved in the TV format, you are a TV film. If the material is good, it has earned an Emmy TV award but no Oscar. I think it is wrong that films that only show a week in theaters are allowed for the Oscars. ”

This rumor also persisted: Spielberg is said to have used his influence as a member of the Oscar Academy and chairman of the directing department to exclude Netflix films from participating in the Oscar. The immediate environment of Spielberg has always denied that. Spielberg himself also made it clear to the “New York Times” two years ago that he was interested in a good story, regardless of the medium in which it took place.

One of the most influential directors in Hollywood

With Spielberg, Netflix has now hired one of the most important and influential directors and producers in Hollywood. His name is linked to box office hits like ET, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List. The collaboration between Spielberg and its production company Amblin Partners with Netflix is planned for several years. During this time, a number of feature films for the streaming platform from Silicon Valley are to be made. There is talk of at least two productions per year. Both sides are silent about the financial scope of the deal.

Fiercely competitive streaming market

Film expert Julia Boorstin from business broadcaster CNBC says Netflix wants to attract new subscribers with the director’s glamorous name. That could be a big win for Netflix, even if it is not clear what the financial scope of the partnership is.

Streaming services Disney’s hunt for Netflix has begun

28.6 million subscribers now use Disney +.

The streaming platform is best known for reacting particularly early to the market. And the competition is getting harder and harder: Disney Plus, HBO Max and Amazon are all billionaire companies that attack the market leader Netflix not only in the domestic US market, but also internationally. Netflix produced 60 major feature films this year alone. With Spielberg, there is less mass, but class. His commitment also shows that times have definitely changed in Hollywood

As we all know, Xinjiang is a paradise for self-driving cars. The thrilling Karakoram Highway; The Yizhao Highway with a sea of flowers; There is the Taklimakan Desert Highway that crosses the Sea of Death; … And at this time of the year, a highway becomes particularly conspicuous. Many self-driving enthusiasts just watch the opening hours eagerly, waiting to find out, and there is no shortage of enthusiastic old drivers who have come and come again! Although it is not the first time to write this route, its beauty is worth thousands of times! With the title of “China’s Most Beautiful Highway”, it is a well-deserved “This Life Series”. Even if it only takes a day to pass, some people are willing to stay for it for a whole month. Figure worm @段为志 It is beautiful. Hovering up the steep cliffs along the highway, the mountains on the left are rushing rivers, and the hillsides on the right are the vast grasslands, and the snow-capped peaks appear as if they are in heaven. It’s amazing. I have never seen any road like it. 1/3 is a cliff, 1/5 is a high mountain permafrost. It crosses nearly ten major rivers in the Tianshan Mountains and crosses the snow-covered ice Daban all year round. Cool air. It is also abusive. It is hard not to be moved when you learn that the journey has been cut in half due to the blood and sweat of the road builders over the past 10 years. Hundreds of soldiers are buried in the Joelma Martyrs Cemetery. It is also limited to the seasons. It is only open to people for 5 months a year. “There are four different days in ten miles, and there are four seasons in one day.” Going once is equivalent to visiting most of China! This is the Duku Highway. With the snow cleared, it is entering the best time of the year to travel… This is a highway that crosses the Tianshan Mountains from Dushanzi to Kuqa, with a total length of 561 kilometers, connecting the north and the south. All the way are forests, grasslands, seas of flowers, deserts, Gobi, snow-capped mountains, canyons, lakes… Most people take the Duku Highway for the first time, and basically only stop at the big scenic spots and watch the flowers. This time, Xiao Feijun worked hard to sort out this essence route, which can be called the essence, not to miss the classic check-in points, but also to join the niche beautiful attractions, Xinjiang cuisine can also be caught in one go, hurry up! Rough route (from north to south): Urumqi-Dushanzi Grand Canyon-Nalati Grassland-Gongnaisi Valley-Bayinbulak Grassland-Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon-Kuqa. 0 1 Starting point: Urumqi Start the journey with hot food @图虫创意 As the capital city of Xinjiang, many people just use Urumqi as a transit point. But I suggest that you can stay one more night, not for the customs and local scenery, just for the food, because the food here is far more exciting than you think. / Looking for street Xinjiang food / @图虫创意 On the day when you arrive in Urumqi, you can stroll around the museum, walk the Xinjiang folk streets, and go to the streets and alleys to find food. Go to 1982 Xinjiang Rice Noodles, the originator of Xinjiang Fried Rice Noodles, and order 25 yuan Wang Fried Rice Noodles. @图虫创意Go to Abra’s Naan shop and take a few super crispy and delicious naan.

Just like Peking duck must use fruit wood, roast lamb and red willow sticks are also a perfect match. The meat skewers you have taken are now grilled, and the sizzling barbecue is full of oil. After a bite, Tianlinggai will be refreshed! / Head into the International Bazaar / Baza, a Uyghur language, means “bazaar” and “farmer’s market”, which is equivalent to what we often call a vegetable market. The local international bazaar in Urumqi is quite famous. Dried fruits are sold by kilograms, and the price is much cheaper than in the mainland. When you are knocking on the dried fruits outside and watching the locals dance passionately, maybe someone will invite you to dance together! @图虫创意 You can also pick tourist souvenirs here, such as pottery, musical instruments, carpets, clothes, shoes and hats, etc., depending on the situation, you can talk to the boss about the price. 0 2 North Section of Duku Highway Wonders all the way do not lose the Grand Canyon of the United States Starting from the Duzishan Grand Canyon, formally enter the northern section, all the way is the Snow Mountain Grand Canyon, the terrain is steep and the scenery is magnificent!

The red mountains and green peaks are colorful, but they are different from the Danxia landform I have seen in Gansu before. It is indescribable and the language has become pale! / Joelma Martyrs Cemetery pays tribute to heroes / The connection of the Duku Highway has shortened the distance between the north and south of Xinjiang by nearly half from the original 1,000 kilometers, which can be regarded as a monument in the history of China’s highway construction. Among them, the blood and sweat of countless PLA officers and soldiers has been poured into it. On average, one road-building soldier sleeps for every 3 km. This is a martyrs cemetery built to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs who died in the construction of the Duku Highway. Each tombstone has very moving deeds, which is awe-inspiring. 0 3 South Section of Duku Highway There are snow mountain scenery more beautiful than Switzerland When the southern section first entered, there were Yadan and Danxia on the side of the road, which was particularly spectacular. The endless snow-capped mountains, pastures and forests, coupled with the embellishment of cattle, sheep, blue sky, and white clouds, from time to time, there will be herders driving sheep, cattle, and horses to pass by.

People have their own living habits. / Strolling around Kuqa Old Street / 图虫@大连美食娱乐圈 There are still ruins from a thousand years ago in the old city, but they are all in ruins. It is recommended to visit Kuqa Old Street, which is a few hundred meters away from Restan Road in front of the Royal Palace, where there are typical Uighur-style residential houses. The lintels are very delicate, the carved beams and painted buildings are bright in color, and each house is different, and one can feel people’s enthusiasm for life. Here is similar to the old town of Kashgar, and every door is worth your stay for a long time. / Visit the Naan Culture Museum / @大静 Kuqa Naan is as big as a wheel, and its name in Xinjiang is known to everyone. Its reputation is as loud as Turpan’s grapes, Hami melons, and Aksu apples. Kuqa Naan is also rated as the tip of the Chinese delicacy! From the first day when I wandered around in the old city, I met my big brother who was holding a characteristic big nibbles and passed by, and I have been thinking about it. Every street in Laojie has one or two families and fixed nang pits, which are dedicated to the local villagers in this area. The government has also invested in the construction of a large Naan City, with 6 naan pits and 30 naan masters. Every day, 600 to 1,000 naan pits can be sold, so that more people can understand the Kuqa naan culture! / Catch a Sunday Bazaar / Figure @天南地北会宁人 Compared with the Grand Bazaar in Urumqi, the Grand Bazaar in Kuqa is more down-to-earth and you can see the real and daily Xinjiang customs. Figure @MA Shunheng Studio Every Sunday, there will be a big bazaar at the bell mouth, starting at 12 o’clock and closing the stall before dark. Everyone came from all directions to gather here. They sold everything in there, but there was no hoarse shouting. They were just plainly busy, busy grilling lamb skewers, busy cutting meat, and busy living. @Express old brother Almost everyone who has been to Xinjiang for self-driving will become addicted to it. Not only are the beautiful scenery flowing like a slide on the self-driving road, but also the unique customs and exotic food on the way, which make people remember. And this Duku highway that is about to return is worth all your expectations. -The End-

Will Bitcoin reach $250,000 by the end of 2022?

Vinh Trang — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 19:09:07 +0000

Billionaire venture capitalist and Bitcoin investor Tim Draper still believes Bitcoin will hit $250,000 by the end of 2022 or early 2023, despite the wild fluctuations in the cryptocurrency’s value and the turmoil surrounding it. around the use of non-environmentally friendly energy.

Tim Draper. “I think I would be right on this one,” Draper told CNBC Make It. Draper first made his bold price prediction in 2018, when Bitcoin was trading around $8,000, according to Coinbase. “I will be really right or really wrong [nhưng] I’m pretty sure it’s going in that direction,” Draper said. That’s because Draper believes that virtual currency will be “more used by then”. Draper predicts: “Wait about a year and a half and retailers will use Opennode [một bộ xử lý thanh toán Bitcoin], so people will accept Bitcoin.” Currently only a few major companies accept Bitcoin directly or indirectly through a third-party digital wallet app, including Microsoft, PayPal, Overstock, Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Home Depot. And many experts see Bitcoin as a store of value, like gold, rather than currency. Draper said: “I think [Bitcoin] will continue to increase because there are only 21 million in all. Thanks to its code, only 21 million Bitcoins can be “mined”. To date, over 18 million bitcoins have been in circulation. Draper, 63, who built his fortune by making early investments in Twitter, Skype, Tesla and SpaceX, did not share how many Bitcoins he currently holds or whether he invests in other cryptocurrencies. or not. Draper says most engineers are working on improving Bitcoin right now. Last week, Bitcoin had its first upgrade in four years, called Taproot. Going into effect in November, the reported change will mean greater security and transaction efficiency. It is also meant to unlock the potential for smart contracts on the Bitcoin blockchain, CNBC reported. Bitcoin “Like Microsoft” [trong] software world or Amazon in the world of e-commerce,” said Draper. He believes that Bitcoin will be at the center of all financial activity in the next two to three decades. However, the value of Bitcoin is highly volatile and there are concerns about its massive energy use. For this and other reasons, experts recommend only investing as much money in Bitcoin as you can afford. Hundreds of billions of dollars were wiped out after Elon Musk tweeted in May that he would be suspending Bitcoin purchases at Tesla due to environmental concerns. In 2014, Draper purchased nearly 30,000 Bitcoins seized by US Marshals Services from the Silk Road Online Black Market.

Vietnamese people can use Mobile ID mobile authentication

Mobile ID (Mobile ID) can eliminate the potential risks of legacy authentication methods.

Mobile ID solution of Vietnammobile Vietnamobile and IPification have just announced the launch of Mobile ID service in Vietnam – The ultimate authentication solution for smartphone transactions for Vietnamobile subscribers. Instead of traditional authentication steps that still contain many risks such as providing phone numbers and SMS OTP authentication, users only need to authorize Vietnamobile to authenticate the device’s ID; Transactions on mobile phones will be automatically verified and secured by Vietnamobile. According to information, the service will soon be integrated for Vietnamobile users. According to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), SMS authentication is not secure enough. Hackers can hack to transfer SMS messages to phone numbers that do not belong to the owner. These tricks are so sophisticated that you won’t even know your messages have been stolen. NIST also warns that phone numbers registered on applications such as Facebook Messenger, Viber are likely to be hacked and reveal the verification code on SMS. An alternative solution is to use 2-layer security or use a security code from a token device. However, this method is quite complicated and causes interruptions in transactions, so most users find it very annoying. The Mobile ID service uses the technology of IPification. This is predicted to be the foundation for mobile authentication now and in the future. Mobile ID enables the authentication of compatible mobile users by verifying the device, SIM and phone number via IP address, intended to prevent fraud in mobile registration and transaction approval. Mobile ID service requires no additional settings, no need to enter a password, and does not require any action from the user. A representative of Vietnamobile said, “The number of Vietnamobile subscribers for online transactions has grown rapidly. In light of this trend, we look forward to providing our subscribers with a safe and convenient online trading platform.” Vietnamobile’s Mobile ID security solution was born to meet the mobile reality when all online activities and transactions of customers are done on smartphones. “We want our customers to be able to enjoy the best solution in terms of security, identity authentication, payment, login,” he said. Mr. Stefan Kostic, CEO of IPification shared. “As the number of online user activities globally is skyrocketing, we will provide the most secure, yet seamless authentication and transaction validation solution for Vietnamobile users.” MobiIPification Pification solution is trusted by leading telecommunications, technology, payment and OTT companies such as Microsoft, GBG, DataZoo, 3HongKong, Axiata Digital. Currently, IPification’s solution has reached more than 550 million devices in 18 markets globally. PV

Musk’s comments on the sustainability of bitcoin “mining” continue to resonate in the crypto community. A commonly cited metric from the University of Cambridge pegged the annual electricity consumption of bitcoin mining at around 99 terawatt-hours. This consumption is more than that of the Philippines or Pakistan. Some of Musk’s recent tweets have also sparked a mix of excitement, confusion, apprehension, and sometimes even fear in the crypto community. Earlier this month, investors attempted to analyze a mysterious tweet from SpaceX that included a bitcoin symbol and a broken heart emoji. The information that Elon Musk transmits has had a great influence on the price of dogecoin and bitcoin. Musk is also partly blamed for the current drop in bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency complex. The Wall Street Journal has described him as the biggest influence on bitcoin.

Back in February, Tesla revealed that it had acquired about $1.5 billion in bitcoin in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the time, Tesla paid about $38,000/bitcoin for each bitcoin. This is the average price at the time of Tesla’s Q4 conference on January 27. This conference did not mention any bitcoin holdings and the date of filing with the SEC. Overall, the prices of digital assets like bitcoin are outperforming traditional markets.

Bitcoin jumped 5.1% to 37,360.63 USD/bitcoin on June 13 following the post of billionaire Elon Musk. The above post comes after the scientific journal Nature recently published a study that found China’s bitcoin “mines” pose a threat to the country’s climate goals. These mines account for nearly 80% of the world’s cryptocurrency transactions and partly use the energy of coal-fired power plants. Billionaire Tesla expressed his belief that digital currency has a promising future, but it cannot come at a hefty price for the environment. In addition, Mr. Musk also reacted to the article raising the possibility that billionaire Elon Musk regularly affects the value of bitcoin in one direction or another for his business benefit. The Tesla chief said that the company sold about 10% of its bitcoin holdings to confirm that the digital currency has easy liquidity without volatility to the market. Earlier in February 2021, Tesla revealed that it had purchased $1.5 billion in bitcoin and would accept it as a form of payment for cars. But in May, billionaire Musk reversed the decision, citing long-standing environmental concerns around mining this coin. Bitcoin dropped more than 10% in value shortly thereafter.

Tesla leaves open the possibility of accepting cryptocurrency payments

Tesla only accepts Bitcoin payments if it uses clean energy

Elon Musk said that electric car company Tesla will restore payments in Bitcoin if the trader can prove it uses renewable and cleaner energy.

On June 13, Tesla CEO tweeted that he will accept Bitcoin electric vehicle payments again. However, this only happens when Bitcoin miners can prove that about 50% of the energy they use is clean energy. According to Reuters, Bitcoin price increased 5% to 37,360.63 USD at 1:10 am on June 14 (Vietnam time) after Mr. Musk’s tweet. Musk also said that Tesla will sell about 10% of its Bitcoin holdings to show that Bitcoin can be easily liquidated. During the first quarter of the year, Tesla sold about $272 million in “virtual assets,” which reduced its operating loss by $101 million. Tesla CEO comments about cryptocurrencies often cause price fluctuations. As a result, he was criticized by CEO Magda Wierzycka of asset management company Sygnia as a “market manipulator” and that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should investigate. In February, Tesla revealed in an SEC filing that it had purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin and would accept Bitcoin as payment for its products. However, then the electric car company paused due to concerns about the method of mining virtual currency, which requires huge electricity consumption, affecting climate change. “We are concerned about the rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels to mine and trade Bitcoin, especially coal, which is the worst emitter,” Musk tweeted in May.

After Brexit Great Britain and Australia sign trade pact

Status: 15.06.2021 12:07 p.m. Great Britain and Australia have agreed on a free trade agreement. The deal will ensure further growth, announced the government in London. But there are also skeptical voices. For the first time since Brexit, Great Britain has signed a completely renegotiated trade agreement. Prime Minister Boris Johnson reached a free trade agreement with his Australian colleague Scott Morrison. The heads of government have cleared the last stumbling blocks out of the way in the past few days, said both sides.

Boost for 3.5 million employees?

Accordingly, manufacturers of cars and whiskey would benefit from duty-free, the government announced in London. Young Britons under 35 should be given more freedom to live and work in Australia. Industries with around 3.5 million employees in the UK received a boost. The contract will ensure further growth. “Today marks a new dawn in the UK’s relationship with Australia, one that is fueled by our shared history and values,” said Johnson. Australian Trade Minister Dan Tehan described the deal as a “gain for jobs, businesses, free trade”.

“Good news for both countries”

In 2020, UK-Australian trade was worth £ 13.9 billion – around € 16.15 billion. The UK is Australia’s fifth largest trading partner. Before the British became part of the EU and with it the internal market in 1973, Australia was even the most important trading partner. Economist Gabriele Suder from RMIT University in Melbourne welcomed the British-Australian deal. This is good news for both countries. After all, it is the first agreement in the post-Brexit era. She expects the deal to bring the Australian economy 1.3 billion Australian dollars (around 830 million euros) annually. Other experts believe the pact will be more important to Britain. Australia has a strong trade focus on Asia.

British farmers fear imports

However, the pact with Australia is controversial in Great Britain. Farmers fear a flood of imports of lamb and beef as soon as customs duties cease to exist. This could affect British sheep and cattle farmers. The government in London stressed that the deal included ceilings on duty-free imports over the next 15 years, as well as quotas and other safeguards. Farmers’ associations called on parliament to closely monitor the contract. According to Australian data, the country’s farmers will benefit from the agreement.

Has the original Ingram Micro been sold at a low price?HNA’s biggest “slimming” deal provokes controversy

editor — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 00:07:17 +0000

At the time of HNA Group’s bankruptcy and reorganization, its biggest weight-loss action-the sale of its Ingram Micro International to a US investment institution-is causing market controversy.

HNA Technology (600751.SH) acquired Ingram Micro for approximately US$6 billion a few years ago, but at the end of last year decided to sell this company with annual revenue of US$49 billion. According to HNA Technology’s plan, Ingram Micro’s sale and delivery will be completed at the end of June this year. However, this plan is now full of variables.

A few days ago, HNA Technology suddenly decided to postpone the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders originally scheduled to be held on June 14 to June 24. Whether Ingram Micro’s sale plan can be passed by a vote at the general meeting of shareholders is the key to determining the success of the transaction.

Morgan Stanley Finance noted that opposition has been brewing before the convening of this shareholder meeting. The resolution of the board of directors disclosed by HNA Technology on May 31 showed that the relevant proposal to sell Ingram Micro International was voted against by a director when the board of directors passed a vote. This director is Zhu Yingfeng, the representative of HNA Technology’s second largest shareholder Guohua Life Insurance. .

Guohua Life Insurance is also a joint investor in HNA Technology’s acquisition of Ingram Micro International, holding more than 30% of Ingram Micro’s equity. Zhu Yingfeng believes that Ingram Micro has “continued and stable growth in profits in recent years, which is a rare and valuable high-quality asset” and listed companies should “further seek buyers with high-quality quotations and better safeguard the interests of listed companies.”

The implication is that Guohua Life Insurance feels that Ingram Micro is now being “sold at a low price.” The sale of Ingram Micro International is valued at 5.891 billion yuan, slightly lower than the purchase price that year, but Ingram Micro’s net profit in 2020 has more than tripled compared to a few years ago.

Small and medium investors of HNA Technology also continue to express their opposition in online communities such as “Stock Bar”. In addition to their dissatisfaction with the price of Ingram Micro, they also have concerns about the future of HNA Technology. Ingram Micro is the entire source of HNA Technology’s revenue. After the sale, the listed company will become a “shelf company”. Although major shareholders promised to inject new assets within this year, they experienced the injection of poor quality Yanjing Hotel The miscarriage turmoil, combined with the current situation of HNA Group, is not unreasonable for the concerns of small and medium investors.

HNA currently holds nearly 30% of HNA Technology, while Guohua Life holds 14.33%. Other shareholders hold very scattered shares. This also means that if the two parties engage in a game at the level of the general meeting of shareholders, whether small and medium investors “group together” will be the biggest variable affecting Ingram Micro’s sales transaction.

Ambition

Ten years ago, the HNA Group, which had just exceeded 100 billion in annual revenue, took advantage of the global economic downturn and frantically bought overseas assets. One of the goals was to reach 600 billion in revenue in 2016, and another goal. It will be in the top 100 of the world’s top 500 in 2020.

By 2016, HNA Group has successfully entered the world’s top 500, but the revenue scale is about 200 billion yuan, which is still far from the ambitious goal. In December of that year, HNA Group under Wang Jian’s presidency acquired Ingram Micro International, the world’s largest IT distribution and supply chain service provider, through its listed company HNA Technology (then Tianhai Investment) for US$5.982 billion (approximately 41.3 billion yuan).

The predecessor of HNA Technology was Tianjin Shipping, a listed company engaged in shipping. In 2008, the HNA Department became the master, and in 2015 it was renamed Tianhai Investment. The shipping business of Tianhai Investment has been sluggish for a long time and is small in scale. After completing a fixed increase of 12 billion yuan at the end of 2014, it was almost a “cash company”. The funds were originally planned to acquire shipping assets such as oil tankers and LNG ships, but the shipping industry was in a downturn. , Tianhai Investment turned to seek “industrial upgrading” and acquired Ingram Micro International in 2016.

Ingram Micro has a global supply chain and channel network, and has strategic synergies with the logistics supply chain and HNA cargo that HNA was trying to develop at that time. Ingram Micro’s annual revenue reached more than 40 billion U.S. dollars. This transaction helped HNA Group’s revenue hit 600 billion yuan. The following year’s Fortune 500 ranking also soared to 170.

After Ingram Micro was acquired by HNA Technology, it accounted for more than half of HNA Group’s revenue for a long time. If the main aviation business of HNA Group is airframes, Bohai Leasing, with the largest assets, and HNA Technology, with the largest revenue, are the two “flanks” that support HNA’s take-off.

HNA also demonstrated brilliant financial skills in the acquisition of Ingram Micro. Among the 12 billion yuan fixed increase at the end of 2014, HNA Logistics (later renamed HNA Technology Group) invested 3.6 billion yuan, leveraging the 8.4 billion yuan of external funds from four institutions-Guohua Life Insurance participated in this fixed amount of 2.5 billion yuan. Increased and became the second largest shareholder of a listed company. The 8.4 billion yuan invested by the external fixed increase agency was originally planned to be used to buy oil tankers and ships, and later became the main fund for the acquisition of Ingram Micro.

The investment structure of HNA Technology’s acquisition of Ingram Micro International shows that HNA Technology used its own funds of 8.7 billion yuan (that is, the remaining funds in 2014), Guohua Life Insurance invested 4 billion yuan, and the rest were bank loans (7-year period). The scale is US$4.27 billion. This means that the HNA Department used almost all other people’s money in this blockbuster acquisition of nearly 6 billion U.S. dollars.

The calculation of HNA Technology’s acquisition was to use Ingram Micro’s profits to cover interest expenses. At that time, it was estimated that the annual interest expenses would be between US$128 million and US$171 million. In fact, Ingram Micro’s business performance has been stable since then, and profits and dividends have increased year by year. A total of US$880 million has been distributed from 2017 to 2020. In the same period, the actual interest expenses of M&A loans paid by HNA Technology totaled US$770 million.

However, HNA Group soon fell into a liquidity crisis, and there were problems in repaying the principal of the syndicated loan. At the end of 2017, it was overdue when the first maturity loan principal of USD 400 million was repaid, and the payment was completed several months later. As of the end of last year, HNA Technology’s outstanding M&A loan principal amounted to US$3.68 billion, and in March 2018, another US$500 million in convertible notes was issued for “borrowing the new to repay the old”, bringing the total outstanding liability principal to US$4.18 billion. . Among them, the principal amount of the syndicated loan of USD 1.35 billion was extended to May 5 this year, and the renewal is still proceeding after the outstanding payment.

In this case, HNA Technology can only choose to sell Ingram Micro to relieve debt pressure.

Ingram Micro

After the outbreak of the liquidity crisis of HNA Group, the overseas assets it had acquired in the past have been sold off one after another. In December last year, under the pressure of HNA Group’s difficulties to resolve risks and HNA Technology’s own difficulties in repaying the syndicated loan, HNA Technology launched a plan to sell Ingram Micro International at a valuation of US$5.826 billion. The purchaser was Platinum Capital, a US private equity investment institution. (Platinum Equity).

On May 31 this year, HNA Technology officially disclosed the “Major Asset Sale Draft”, adjusting Ingram Micro’s valuation to US$5.891 billion. The draft revealed that assuming July 2 as the delivery date, the purchaser’s cash payment consideration is estimated to be approximately US$1.588 billion.

In the transaction plan for the sale of Ingram Micro International, HNA Technology also designed a lock-box mechanism and an additional payment consideration mechanism. The cash payment consideration on the delivery day was further calculated on the basis of US$5.9 billion for value adjustments before delivery. Mechanism, if Ingram Micro’s adjusted EBITDA for the 2021-2023 fiscal year is between US$1.215 billion and US$135 million, HNA Technology can obtain up to US$325 million in additional payment consideration.

But in fact, HNA Technology’s confidence in obtaining additional consideration is not enough. HNA Technology initially predicts Ingram Micro’s adjusted EBITDA for 2021-2023 to be US$1.204 billion, US$1.211 billion, and US$1.225 billion. According to the predicted performance, HNA Technology can only get very little additional consideration.

On the surface, the sale price of HNA is not much different from the purchase price. However, if the five-year interest cost is taken into account, the actual loss between HNA’s purchase and sale is huge, which is even more unacceptable for the co-investor Guohua Life Insurance.

Regardless of the cost of capital, only the estimated cash recovered of US$1.588 billion (equivalent to 10.36 billion yuan) after the sale is calculated, the Shanghai Biaoji partnership consisting of HNA Technology and Guohua Life Insurance will lose more than 2 billion yuan in principal. Shanghai Standard Base Partnership holds 100% equity of Tianhai Logistics and then holds Ingram Micro International, while Guohua Life Insurance holds 31.496% of the LP share of Shanghai Standard Base.

In addition, when Guohua Life Insurance acquired HNA Technology in 2014, the fixed price increase was 5.98 yuan per share. It was hoped that through the acquisition of Ingram Micro International, the performance and stock price of listed companies would increase, but now HNA Technology’s latest share price is 3.43 yuan per share. Shares, Guohua Life’s 2.5 billion investment principal has also lost 42.7%.

Under this circumstance, the selling price of Ingram Micro became the focus of questions from Guohua Life Insurance and small and medium investors.

Controversy over “cheap sale”

Has Ingram Micro been “selled” at all?

As the world’s largest IT distributor, Ingram Micro has 189 logistics centers and maintenance service centers around the world, with an annual shipment volume of more than 1.5 billion pieces and operations in more than 160 countries. Ingram Micro’s IT distribution business covers most of the IT product market segments, and provides downstream customers with inventory management and supply chain financial services. In addition, it is also involved in mobile devices and life cycle services, e-commerce supply chain solutions, and cloud services. . In 2018, Ingram Micro and Microsoft jointly launched the cloud business platform CloudBlue, which provides cloud operation services to more than 150 largest service providers in the world, and has become the world’s largest cloud business platform.

HNA Technology mentioned in the reason for sale that “in recent years, the global IT distribution industry has intensified competition and increased concentration. With the changes in the global shipment pattern of IT products and the 2020 epidemic, the industry has shown certain volatility.” HNA Technology did not It is mentioned that Ingram Micro’s profitability has improved significantly after entering cloud services in recent years.

As early as the acquisition of Ingram Micro International, HNA Technology had already foreseen the boost to Ingram Micro’s profitability by the cloud service business, and pointed out at the shareholders meeting in May 2017 that the leading IT supply chain company in the industry, For example, Ingram Micro, Arrow Electronics, Avnet, Synergy, etc., have entered the cloud service market through acquisitions and other means, “which can improve profitability and avoid financial pressure caused by business expansion.”

In terms of performance, Ingram Micro’s revenue scale and profitability have been stable in recent years, and its operating status has remained stable. From 2017 to 2020, Ingram Micro’s revenue was 46.675 billion, 50.437 billion, 47.197 billion and 49.12 billion US dollars, and net profit was 199 million US dollars, 352 million US dollars, 505 million US dollars, and 644 million US dollars.

It can be seen that benefiting from the outstanding performance of the cloud service business, Ingram Micro’s profit level has increased rapidly in the past two years, especially when cloud services are more widely used after the epidemic, Ingram Micro has demonstrated high-quality assets. Background color.

It should be pointed out that Ingram Micro is the entire source of HNA Technology’s revenue, but the profit performance of the two is not consistent. In 2020, Ingram Micro’s net profit hit a record high, but HNA Technology suffered a huge loss of 9.788 billion yuan. The main reason was that listed companies provided joint guarantees for HNA Group and other related parties, which resulted in a provision of 5.02 billion yuan in losses and the provision of Ingram Micro’s goodwill. The impairment affects the profit of 6.029 billion yuan.

In the first quarter of this year, boosted by the positive performance of Ingram Micro International, HNA Technology achieved a net profit of 620 million yuan, setting the best performance in recent years.

Ingram Micro’s performance continues to improve, and has improved significantly from the time of the acquisition. Why did HNA Technology sell it at a valuation loss of US$5.891 billion?

The reason given by HNA Technology is that when a listed company acquired Ingram Micro International in 2016, the transaction price was not based on the evaluation results, but was negotiated and determined after comprehensive consideration of various factors. In addition, the valuation of Ingram Micro International is reasonable. After comparing Arrow Electronics and similar companies in the same industry, according to the EV/EBITDA valuation method, the average valuation multiple of comparable companies is 6.6 times and the median value is 6.2 times. , Ingram Micro is 6.3 times.

However, opposition voices also pointed out that In Micro International and its peers Arrow Electronics (ARRW) and Synergy (SNX), the net profits of the three companies last year were US$644 million, US$584 million, and 529 million (as of 2020/11). /30), the revenue scale and profit level of the latter two are lower than Ingram Micro’s, with P/E ratios of 12 times and 14 times respectively, but Ingram Micro’s P/E ratio for sales valuation is only 9 times. If valued at a price-to-earnings ratio of 13 times, Ingram Micro is worth about 8.4 billion U.S. dollars. The current market value of Arrow and Synergy is 8.9 billion and 6.7 billion U.S. dollars, respectively.

Outsiders believe that HNA sells Ingram Micro at the current price, mainly eager to resolve debt pressure and financial risks, and promote the bankruptcy and reorganization of HNA Group, but it is unfair to the co-investors and small and medium shareholders of HNA Technology. After the board of directors voted against the transaction plan, Guohua Life Insurance appealed to HNA to continue to contact buyers with higher bids based on market principles.

It is worth mentioning that Platinum Capital, the acquirer of Ingram Micro, disclosed that the total consideration of the transaction was US$7.2 billion, which is not consistent with the transaction value disclosed by HNA Technology. Platinum Capital also disclosed that it will provide US$4.05 billion in funding for the acquisition. At the same time, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and other syndicates pledged to provide US$3.5 billion in loans to pay for the transaction consideration, and also pledged to provide US$3.5 billion in circulation. loan.

Endgame

Many small and medium shareholders are opposed to this sale because they are worried that HNA Technology will become a shell company in the future or be injected with low-quality assets.

HNA Group initially had a great strategic vision for HNA Technology, but after the acquisition of Ingram Micro International, the subsequent layout has been weak. In 2018, HNA Technology put out a plan of 7.5 billion yuan to acquire Dangdang. However, it will inevitably fail in the end.

As of the end of 2020, HNA Technology’s total assets are 121.6 billion yuan, and Ingram Micro’s total assets are 112.1 billion yuan, accounting for 92.17% of the total assets of listed companies. Ingram Micro’s 2020 revenue will account for 100% of HNA Technology’s revenue.

HNA Technology pointed out in the sale plan that after the IT supply chain business is placed, the listed company will relieve debt pressure and financial burden, concentrate resources on strategic and business transformation, and enhance the company’s ability to continue operating.

Just before the sale of Ingram Micro International, on December 4, 2020, HNA Technology decided to increase its assets such as 91.6% equity in Tianhai Shipping and 90% equity in Zhuhai Beiyang Shipping, plus 2 billion yuan in capital increase, and through the Haichuang Baichuan Fund with HNA Group 100% of the shares held by Yanjing Hotel will be replaced.

The net assets of Yanjing Hotel are -870 million yuan, with an estimated value of 2.13 billion yuan and an appreciation of up to 3 billion yuan. In addition, there are three cases of Yanjing Hotel using its own houses and land use rights to provide HNA Aviation Group and related party HNA Tourism Group with a total amount of 2 billion yuan. Beiyin Financial Leasing has seized the corresponding assets in 2019 , So it’s not a “clean” asset.

After being subject to regulatory inquiries and external doubts, on May 19, 2021, HNA Technology announced that it would cancel the proposal to submit the asset replacement proposal to the first extraordinary general meeting of shareholders for consideration.

HNA Technology promises to continue to inject new assets. In the major asset sale draft disclosed by HNA Technology on May 31, HNA Technology and the directors, supervisors and senior executives of listed companies except Zhu Yingfeng promised that the listed company will complete the asset placement by December 31, 2021. HNA Technology Group, Grand China Logistics, and HNA Group promised to assist listed companies in completing asset placement.

However, given the current situation of the HNA system, whether there is still the ability to inject high-quality and clean assets into HNA Technology is a big question mark. On January 30, 2021, HNA Group was filed for bankruptcy and reorganization; on March 15, HNA Technology’s controlling shareholder HNA Technology Group, NPC Xinhua Logistics and related shareholder Shanghai Shangrong Supply Chain were ruled by the court for reorganization. A total of 29.45% of the shares of listed companies are held.

After the bankruptcy and reorganization of HNA Group, it is introducing strategic investors for its three core businesses (aviation, airport and commercial retail), corresponding to HNA Holdings (ST HNA 600221.SH) and HNA Foundation (ST Basis 600515.SH). And supply and marketing big set (*ST big set 000564.SZ) three listed companies. This is also the highest quality asset of HNA Group.

It is worth mentioning that when HNA Technology acquired Ingram Micro in 2016, the shipping industry was in a downturn. However, due to the impact of the epidemic on global inventories last year, the shipping industry is re-entering the business cycle. However, the shipping business of HNA Technology is currently very weak. Only in the first half of 2021, it purchased two 176,000-ton Cape-type bulk carriers (145.5 million yuan each), with a total capacity of only more than 300,000 tons.

After the sale of Ingram Micro, how to revive the main business of HNA Technology will obviously be another big problem.

Assets in Dubai Scholz can buy data on tax fraud

Status: 11.06.2021 5:57 p.m.

Finance Minister Scholz has initiated an explosive deal. An anonymous informant obtained data on thousands of Germans who own assets in Dubai. It is about uncovering tax fraud, said Scholz. Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz wants to intensify the fight against tax fraud. “At my instigation, the Federal Central Tax Office procured a CD containing tax-relevant data from the Emirate of Dubai,” he said in Berlin. These data would soon be evaluated by the federal states. It is about uncovering possible crimes such as tax fraud. “Tax evasion is not a trivial offense, but a criminal act.”

Data leak Bank is said to have helped with tax fraud The BKA searched the houses and business premises of German customers of a bank in Puerto Rico.

Assets hidden from the tax authorities?

The “Spiegel” had first reported on the process. An anonymous informant offered the data. The purchase cost the Federal Central Tax Office around two million euros. According to the magazine, millions of taxpayers are said to be affected, including several thousand Germans who, among other things, have land and real estate in the Gulf emirate. The data provided insights into assets that were hidden from the tax authorities in Dubai, according to the ministry report. In addition to clearing up criminal offenses, the data also ensured that the tax authorities would have full access to cross-border transactions. This would avoid loss of income.

After the secret handover of the material, the data is now, according to the “Spiegel” report, at the Federal Central Tax Office in Bonn. Next week they should be sent to the tax authorities of the federal states so that they can examine aspects of criminal tax law and, if necessary, initiate investigations. So far, only federal states had bought tax data. The then North Rhine-Westphalian finance minister and today’s SPD leader Norbert Walter-Borjans bought several tax data CDs. He was NRW Minister of Finance from 2010 to 2017.

8 skincare secrets to help her deal with sensitive, irritated skin

Minh Khuê - CTV — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 05:18:13 +0000

Wrong skincare habits can make your skin dry and red. Sometimes you don’t know it’s the expensive products you use that are harming your skin.
While it’s true that overpriced products don’t make your skin better, it’s important to find the right treatment.

Here are skin care suggestions to help you limit and ‘erase’ allergies and redness. 1. Use ointment or cream instead of lotion Lotion quickly penetrates the skin, so it is recommended for normal skin. This is also the product to use during the summer months. For dry and sensitive skin, you should use creams because they provide a thicker barrier, helping the skin to stay hydrated. 2. Shower for 10 minutes Dermatologists say that showering for 5 to 10 minutes is just enough to clean and hydrate the skin. If you shower longer, wash your face with water more times, you will inadvertently remove the natural oils on the skin. The pores are opened and the water drains out of the body. You will then notice skin irritation and redness. In addition, bathing with hot, warm, and cold water all have their own benefits. If you don’t know which one is best for your skin, use warm water. 3. Don’t use ‘unscented’ skin care products. If you have sensitive skin, you should use ‘fragrance-free’ lotions, soaps and cleansers. They help minimize irritation and cause less allergic reactions. Be wary of products marked with the word ‘unscented’ as they often contain chemicals that irritate your skin. 4. Apply moisturizer right after bathing or washing your face The best time to apply moisturizer is while the skin is still damp. Do not use a towel to dry your face, but apply the cream immediately after washing. 5. Exfoliate Dermatologists do not recommend that people with sensitive skin use exfoliating products with massage beads and mechanical methods. It is better to use mild chemical exfoliants. If your skin feels dry after exfoliating, use a moisturizer right after. 6. Buy products with special soothing ingredients “Products containing niacinamide, sulfur, allantoin, caffeine, licorice root, chamomile, aloe, and cucumber can help reduce redness,” says dermatologists. In addition, experts also recommend using organic cleaners. 7. Shorten or pause your beauty routine If you are sure you do not have any skin disorders but your face is still irritated and red, it is time to limit your use of cosmetics and care products. You should research the ingredients of each type to know which ones are bad for your skin so you don’t buy them again next time. 8. Use the right sunscreen Some people are so allergic to sunscreen that they don’t realize that’s the problem. As a result, your skin is flaky and red due to the chemical ingredients. If you have sensitive skin, you’re better off using a sunscreen with zinc or titanium dioxide.

According to the Group’s Digital Transformation Project and according to the tasks assigned by the Steering Committee for Digital Transformation and the application of technology of the fourth industrial revolution to EVN’s production and business activities, digital transformation in Sales and customer service will focus on such contents as: building a shared customer care platform for the whole corporation to provide customer care services in the direction of “personalization” and creating comprehensive, consistent customer experience; linking EVN’s customer care platform with other partners to take care of and create new added value for customers. At the same time, automate the receiving and processing of customer requests through the Customer Care Center. Building a unified customer identification database in EVN. Applying artificial intelligence to analyze customer behavior and improve service quality. EVN will also promote the quality of online electricity service level 4; electricity purchase and sale contracts and electricity services are transacted electronically; pay electricity and service charges by non-cash method. Another key work will be done by EVN, which is the digitization of all field work of workers through applications deployed on mobile platforms. The Group will also modernize the metering system through the implementation of electronic meters and piloting the smart meter system; improve the electricity access index by connecting national databases such as population, land, … to reduce customer records and procedures; electricity service application without surveying through the use of field information data, GIS-based operation management information. According to Mr. Bui Quoc Hoan, the group has thoroughly applied international standards to improve, digitize and virtualize electrical services. Through transforming processes, people and technology; EVN strives to bring many benefits to customers. Specifically, the deployment of multi-channel services, online services, integration of service provision through the National Public Service portal, etc. makes it easy for customers to access, participate, and monitor electricity services. Information about EVN’s services, as well as the settlement process, is public and transparent to customers. With the customer’s documents and procedures, which can be received by EVN through online transaction channels, or through field applications when EVN is surveying and constructing, it has brought convenience and shortened the time. transactions for customers. EVN’s time to process and resolve customer’s requests is thoroughly shortened through technologies. For example, location locating applications help workers quickly move, to promptly respond to customer requests. Service costs are calculated transparently and make it easy for customers to pay via banks and e-wallets of payment intermediaries.

Vietnamese people make more than 9,000 billion dong thanks to ‘virtual money’ in 2020

Trọng Đạt — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 23:50:11 +0000

In the Asia region, Vietnam is the 4th country in terms of cryptocurrency profits, just behind China, Japan, and South Korea.
In a recent report, Chainalysis has published a list of the 25 most profitable countries from Bitcoin growth in 2020.

Accordingly, US investors have made a profit of up to $ 4.1 billion by investing in this world’s number 1 “virtual currency”. Right behind the US is China with 1.1 billion USD. The remaining positions in the top 5 include Japan ($0.9 billion), UK ($0.8 billion) and Russia ($0.6 billion). Notably, this list also includes the presence of Vietnam. According to Chainalysis estimates, Vietnamese investors have earned $0.4 billion in 2020 by investing in Bitcoin. On a global scale, Vietnam ranks 13th in the world in terms of Bitcoin-related profitability. Vietnam is also the 4th country in terms of cryptocurrency profits, just behind China, Japan, and South Korea. Ranking of the 25 most profitable countries from Bitcoin in 2020. According to Chainalysis, due to the decentralized nature of the technology, it is very difficult to find out where the parties are in a cryptocurrency transaction. The published results were estimated using transaction data from services that Chainalysis tracks. In its analysis, Chainalysis measures the total volume of Bitcoin transactions at each crypto exchange. They estimate the amount earned by the difference in the price of Bitcoin at 2 times of entering and leaving the exchange. Chainalysis then distributes this profit based on each country’s share of web traffic on each exchange. By doing this, Chainalysis has produced a report on how much return investors in each country will make with Bitcoin in 2020. Even so, Chainalysis’s methodology is approximate and not yet available. regardless of the profits from the digital assets still in the exchanges. Vietnam currently ranks 10th on the Global Cryptocurrency Acceptance Index. According to Chainalysis, Vietnam is a perfect example of a country where the level of participation in cryptocurrency transactions far exceeds the ranking of the economy. Although only ranked 53rd in GDP with about $262 billion and ranked as a low-middle-income country, Vietnam still has a fairly high level of acceptance for cryptocurrency transactions. Accordingly, Vietnam ranks 10th out of 154 countries in the Global Cryptocurrency Acceptance Index. This is one of the rare indexes where Vietnam has the same rank as developed countries such as the US, China or South Africa, even more than many other developed countries such as the UK, France, Germany, and Spain. , Japan, Korea,… With such popularity, Chainalysis is not surprised that Vietnamese investors ranked 13th in the world in terms of income earned from Bitcoin in 2020. Many Vietnamese Bitcoin investors have won big in 2020. Similar to Vietnam, this phenomenon also occurs in a number of other countries such as the Czech Republic (54th in GDP, 18th in income from Bitcoin), Turkey (25th in GDP, 16th in revenue). Bitcoin income) and Spain (19th in GDP, 9th in Bitcoin income). On the other hand, despite having the 4th largest economy with the 2nd largest population in the world, India is being left behind in the crypto economy. In 2020, the country’s investors only made 241 million USD from the increase in the price of Bitcoin, ranked 18th in the world. This is because the Indian government does not seem to be very friendly with cryptocurrencies. India used to ban all cryptocurrency transactions in the country, until the Supreme Court of India lifted the ban in March 2020. Although many Vietnamese investors are making big profits from cryptocurrencies. Having said that, investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies is a very risky investment. Therefore, investors need to be careful and learn carefully before deciding to enter this harsh market.

Can the domestically produced new crown vaccine deal with the variant strains emerging in India?Response from CDC experts

editor — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 14:35:09 +0000

◎ Zhang Jiaxing, reporter of Science and Technology Daily
According to the latest notification on the 23rd, the newly confirmed local cases in Guangzhou infected with the virus belonged to a variant strain that appeared in India.

Because of the more frequent mutations of the new coronavirus recently, “is the vaccine still effective?” has become a concern for everyone. If you want to add annual keywords to the new crown virus, then “mutation” is probably not inferior to “popularity.” “Preliminary research results show that my country’s existing vaccines can cope with the variant strains emerging in India.” Shao Yiming, a researcher at the China Centers for Disease Control and a member of the Vaccine R&D Team of the Scientific Research Group, said in an interview a few days ago that the domestic new crown vaccine still has a protective effect. . How can the domestic new crown vaccine be able to deal with the variant strains emerging in India? A reporter from Science and Technology Daily interviewed industry experts on this matter. The virus has changed Can the antibodies raised by the vaccine not drop? Today, when the antibodies in our body encounter the new coronavirus, it is very likely that we will whisper the phrase “you have changed.” In fact, it is difficult to stay the same, because it travels the world and meets different people and even animals. In the latest “Epidemiology Weekly Report” released by the World Health Organization on May 18, 10 variants were “named”, including 4 “needs of concern” that were first discovered in the UK, South Africa, Brazil, and India. The mutated strains also include 6 strains that “need attention” found in the Philippines, France and other places (slightly lower than the strains of concern). The report specifies the location of the virus mutation sequence change in detail. When the virus changes, can the antibodies raised by the vaccine fail to drop? Not necessarily, it depends on where the virus has changed. Most of the mutations of the concerned strains and the concerned strains fall on the key spike protein, which is responsible for allowing the virus to invade the cell. Its mutation may enhance the virus’s infectivity and may also invalidate existing vaccines, especially for the spike protein. Designed vaccine. “Relevant departments have previously shown based on sequence mutation predictions that although the mutation of the Indian strain falls on the spike protein, it may have little impact on the protective effect of the existing vaccine. Of course, this needs further experimental confirmation.” Said Lu Shan, project commissioner and deputy director of the Public Health and Modern Medicine Division of China Biotechnology Development Center, Ministry of Science and Technology. Changes in viral RNA sequence must pass at least three passes to affect the formation of a protein structure, including changes in coding amino acids, changes in protein folding, and changes in protein three-dimensional conformation. Therefore, from the perspective of sequence analysis, protein simulation, neutralization reaction prediction, etc., the mutation of the Indian strain has not reached the level of “cannot be reduced”. In addition, for the mutant strains that emerged in India, relevant departments are also conducting “practical drills” on them with neutralizing antibodies. Previously, similar studies were conducted on the mutant strains discovered for the first time in South Africa. “The Lancet-Microbe” published the results of two Chinese vaccines on April 13th. The 24 serum samples of vaccine subjects were tested for the neutralization activity of live virus, and wild-type virus strain HB02 and the virus strain BJ01 carrying the D614G mutation were used as controls. The results showed that the neutralization ability of the vaccine evoked antibodies was maintained at a percentage. It’s about sixty or seventy. Multi-party attention and continuous tracking of virus changes Shao Yiming said at the meeting that relevant departments and companies are closely following the mutation of the new crown virus. Once there are variant strains that cannot be dealt with by existing vaccines, we will have new vaccines into use. So, what does close tracking mean? If a new vaccine is needed, how quickly can it be developed? “Vaccine research and development teams continue to pay attention to virus mutations and carry out research and development of new vaccines based on virus mutations.” Lu Shan introduced, for example, the Academy of Military Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and related companies have gradually carried out. “The eighth edition of the prevention and control plan requires genetic sequencing of all imported cases and the first or early cases in the local epidemic.” Wu Liangyou, deputy director of the National Health Commission’s Disease Control Bureau, said at a press conference earlier that through gene sequencing dynamics Monitoring virus mutations can provide a scientific basis for subsequent studies on the impact of virus mutations on pathogen detection and vaccine protection. Source: Visual China These sequence information will be aggregated to the National Bioinformation Center (National Genome Science Data Center), the new coronavirus information database released by the center, which will continue to track virus mutations. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and other units continue to track the sequence changes of the new coronavirus and conduct in-depth virus mutation analysis. In addition to continuous gene sequencing and analysis for continuous tracking, vaccine research and development companies and research institutes will also conduct dynamic cross-protection experiments on newly emerging mutant strains. The above-mentioned “Lancet-Microorganism” published research is one of the typical studies of various units concerned about the strength of vaccines and viruses. For newly mutated strains, inactivated vaccines have a very quick way to deal with them. Shao Yiming introduced that as long as the virus of the new mutant strain is added to the feeding end, the entire production process does not need to be changed, and a new vaccine against the mutation can be produced. A reporter from Science and Technology Daily also contacted relevant units. In response, Dr. Hangwen Li, the founder of Sri Lanka Microbiology, said that the iterative vaccine development for mutant strains was carried out earlier. The serum produced in animal experiments can be tested by relevant national institutions to have a good neutralizing effect on the new coronavirus mutant strains of concern to the World Health Organization. At present, the iterative vaccine is improving related research applications to carry out a phase 1 clinical trial. Academician Zhong Nanshan judged in an interview not long ago: Due to the mutation of the virus, the new crown vaccine may be given regularly in the future like influenza prevention. So in response to mutations, the new crown vaccine may also be similar to the flu vaccine. After continuous research and development by the R&D team, several vaccines against variant strains of the new coronavirus have been produced, and the corresponding vaccines have been vaccinated.

Deutsche Bahn Train drivers announce strike

Status: 08.06.2021 1:43 p.m.

The collective bargaining has failed, the labor dispute is a done deal: The German Engine Drivers Union wants to call for a strike at Deutsche Bahn. A date is not yet known. Deutsche Bahn customers have to be prepared for strikes. The union of German locomotive drivers (GDL) declared its collective bargaining negotiations with the company to have failed and decided to take industrial action. The union has not yet announced a date. It also left open which areas of the company could be affected. The fourth round of negotiations between employers and employees also failed to bring an agreement on Monday. “We wanted to negotiate and reach an agreement, but DB refused again,” said union leader Claus Weselsky. He accused the railway of wanting to worsen the working conditions of the train crew and of lying in statements to the contrary.

First strike since December 2018

In the event of a strike, it would be the first at Deutsche Bahn since December 2018, when the Railway and Transport Union (EVG) called on its members to take part in a labor dispute. The last wave of strikes by the GDL was six years ago. The railway had already seen the escalation coming after the unsuccessful conversation in Berlin. After the meeting, Chief Human Resources Officer Martin Seiler criticized that the union aimed at confrontation at all costs. The GDL consciously accept damage for customers. The group is still ready to talk.

According to the railway, the union is not ready to talk

According to its own statements, the railway proposed a collective bargaining agreement on Monday that would have brought employees increased incomes, as in the public sector in the airport sector. However, the union refused to talk about leeway and solutions. You insist on significantly higher demands. The contracting parties in the public service agreed in autumn on wage and salary increases of 3.2 percent over a period of 28 months. Due to the slump in traffic, however, special rules apply at airports with delayed tariff increases, reduced working hours and a suspension of performance-related pay.

Deutsche Bahn announced at an inopportune time

The labor dispute hits not only the customers, but also the financially troubled company at an inopportune moment. After the relaxation of the corona rules, the state-owned company’s business is picking up speed again. In regional traffic you drive the full range, in long-distance traffic almost 100 percent, said Seiler. “Bookings are picking up again, that’s nice.” It is all the more important that the GDL make its contribution in solidarity. In September, the railway had put together a tariff package with its largest union, the railway and transport union. From the beginning of 2022, employees will receive 1.5 percent more money. No redundancies for operational reasons are possible until the end of 2023. In previous collective bargaining rounds, the almost 215,000 Deutsche Bahn employees were able to look forward to some significantly higher increases in income. The GDL refused to take part in the negotiations. An arbitration in autumn failed. After the wage agreement expired at the end of February, the new round of negotiations began.

Lost more than 10 billion dong because of… virtual money tiền

An Hòa — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 23:20:10 +0000

Taking advantage of the gullibility and gullibility of many people, some companies have run a multi-level business model by participating in virtual currency investments. High profits will come with high risks, so investors (investors) need to be alert to consider before ‘dropping money’ into this field.
Recently, Mr. NCDu (living in Ho Chi Minh City) and eight other investors unanimously denounced GBhub Company (headquartered at P12Q10, Ho Chi Minh City), an enterprise specializing in virtual currency investment business, showing signs of appropriating more than 10 billion copper.

The victim said that on June 18, 2020, he had invested in GBhub Company and was introduced to this business as a partner of… Google. The reason is that after consulting and researching, this retail investor saw that GBhub Company has a logo similar to Google’s logo, and there are many websites associated with the “giant” of technology Google. Therefore, Mr. Du trusted him, so he invested without thinking much. To open an ID (account) to log into the company’s website, Mr. Du must pay an account activation fee and receive weekly interest. CEO of GBhub . Company After officially becoming an investor of GBhub Company, Mr. Du was given a promise to make investors throughout the provinces and cities in the country more confident such as: opening a visa payment gateway in August and September 2020; open a private exchange of GBPro coin for investors to trade on the exchange quickly; opened an investment fund company, a Block Chain academy in Vietnam in October; and finally opened the “banking portal” GBCloudbank (self-proclaimed international affiliated bank; trading more than 22 different currencies around the world) in November of the same year. Through this “banking portal”, GBhub company said it will pay interest daily and withdraw money directly from USD to VND. Initially, the company paid interest for regular withdrawal so that investors had confidence in the future of the business, so some people in different provinces and cities also put their savings to invest in. However, up to now, GBhub Company has not fulfilled any promises, only opening GBCloudbank and allowing investors to withdraw money in the first month. After that, this account… does not allow withdrawal anymore. For example, investors deposit 10,000 USD, then they will receive interest of 40% of the deposited amount. The next week, they paid $6,000 again, and got a 40% interest again. The third time, they have to enter 10 thousand USD, this time they can withdraw 40% of the amount paid. The fourth time, they paid another 10 thousand USD and the company… locked the phone. GBhub . Company’s “explosive” advertisement From January 2021 up to now, virtual currency participants have not been able to withdraw a single coin from the bank portal and were also emailed by a representative of Google Vietnam “warning about abuse of power and spreading fake logo images”. by Google”. The money that they are receiving daily interest will be sold to the so-called “managers” in Vietnam at extremely low prices compared to the USD price.Currently, the company has blocked the contact of phase 1 investors. with stage 2 and lock the ID (password) so that these victims can do nothing more. According to our research, many victims have used money in savings books, even borrowed, mortgaged real estate documents… to participate in playing virtual money and “lost money”. On April 6, GBhub Company held an office opening ceremony on Le Hong Phong Street (P2Q10) but did not have… a license to operate. Then, on April 24, this business also opened an office in Nghe An, located on Nguyen Quoc Tri Street (Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City). The director of this company is both Malaysian and Vietnamese. On its website, the company advertises that “global membership will surpass one million in the next three years”. LS Nguyen Thi Sinh (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) said that the Ministry of Finance needs to coordinate with departments and sectors to come up with regulations to protect the rights and interests of investors when investing in the virtual currency market. Despite always being warned about potential risks, what makes virtual money still attractive to investors is the huge profit offered to attract. Not to mention, more sophisticated, many virtual currency exchanges also entice investors to buy real virtual currencies, then use these virtual currencies to buy back “junk” virtual money to make high profits, then investors lose everything. their investment amount. Currently, many people are interested in investing in GBhub, especially the elderly in rural areas. It is easy for them to lose money for real money investment games on virtual networks because the servers are located abroad. The company will call from person to person to transact with cryptocurrencies in a short period of time, to avoid statements and documents. After that, the company will close the server (server), that is, delete all original data information of customers, causing them to lose money.

Why did Anonymous declare war on Elon Musk?

Thùy Trang — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 23:34:10 +0000

In just 3 months, Elon Musk has mentioned Bitcoin 9 times in his tweets. Bitcoin price fluctuated many times after Musk’s statement.
On June 4, the notorious hacker group Anonymous posted a video “declaring war” on Tesla CEO Elon Musk. In it, Anonymous said that Elon Musk used his reputation to manipulate the cryptocurrency market, especially Bitcoin.

According to the CryptoNews From mid-March until now, Elon Musk has directly mentioned Bitcoin 9 times on his personal page. Two of them, he made the market red, Bitcoin depreciated by 10%. Elon Musk has a big impact on the Bitcoin market? The last time Elon Musk posted an article about Bitcoin was an image of an angry couple, with the words “BTC” and a broken heart symbol. Many people think this is a signal that Elon Musk no longer believes in the most valuable cryptocurrency. Soon after, he posted a meme photo of a trader who had difficulty trading because of the price correction. Is Elon Musk Talking Too Much About Bitcoin? Photo: Nikkei. According to the CryptoNews Bitcoin price dropped 2% just an hour after Musk posted the above article. In the following 24 hours, the Bitcoin price dropped 6%. That’s not the biggest drop Musk has made with the crypto market. On May 12, when Elon Musk announced that Tesla stopped accepting Bitcoin, in just an hour, the price of Bitcoin dropped 10%. This number remains for the next 24 hours. Not every article by Elon Musk has had such a large market impact. Out of Elon Musk’s last 9 Bitcoin-related posts, as of March 12, the majority have generated less than 1% volatility in the Bitcoin price. Even many articles have a positive influence, like when Elon Musk posted the Bitcoin symbol and diamond hand, alluding to the term Diamond hands, which are people who hold coins for a long time to wait for the price to rise. Following the aforementioned post, Bitcoin price increased by 3.6%. Over the next 24 hours, the increase is 10%, but it is difficult to confirm that it is entirely due to Musk’s post. Musk’s latest post is understood by many in the sense that he wants to “break up” with Bitcoin. Screenshots. CryptoNews commented that except for the news that Tesla stopped accepting Bitcoin payments and broke his heart, Elon Musk’s articles did not have too much impact on the cryptocurrency market in general and Bitcoin in particular. The fluctuations after his post were mainly due to previous market movements, hard to say because of Musk. Reasons for the volatility of the crypto market can include traders’ excessive use of leverage, China’s crypto ban, signals of crypto restrictions in the US, or concerns about cryptocurrency markets. environment. Elon Musk is getting hate for talking too much It cannot be said that Elon Musk can single-handedly influence the cryptocurrency market. However, the fact that he shares too much about this field still has the opposite effect on the reputation of the CEO of TEsla. Recently, every time Musk writes a Bitcoin-related article, he often receives negative feedback. According to data from the company Awario, which measures the emotions of social network users, the rate of positive responses to Elon Musk’s tweets fell to the lowest level in May. Negative feedback peaked on May 12, when he announced Tesla would stop accepting Bitcoin electric vehicle payments. Talking too much about cryptocurrencies, especially negative articles about Bitcoin, is damaging Elon Musk’s reputation. Photo: Twitter. In January, the number of tweets for and against Elon Musk was about equal. However, by May, the number of tweets against the Tesla CEO was 25% higher. This is the highest negative rate since Awario started measuring it in October 2020. According to this company, the number of tweets with neutral views still accounts for the highest proportion, up to 66%. “Clearly he is teasing the community,” said Bobby Ong, co-founder of crypto data analytics firm CoinGecko. “When Musk speaks out about crypto, the market will wait for a reaction,” Nick Spanos, co-founder of the ZAP Protocol crypto project told Reuters. While data from Musk’s most recent statements shows that the market reaction is less dependent on his words, Musk could still have a negative impact on his reputation. More than just damage to the crypto market, this could directly affect his other companies like Tesla. “Elon is slowly entering an area where it’s best not to say much, because Bitcoin is the currency of the future. I think that’s the danger zone for Elon, because when he makes his dips. price makes a lot of people lose money, they will stop supporting him and then Tesla,” Ross Gerber, CEO of investment firm Gerber Kawasaki and Tesla investor shared with Yahoo Finance .

Rice prices today 10/6: Domestic rice prices mixed, export prices turned down slightly

Ngọc Thùy — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 05:11:06 +0000

Rice prices today in the Mekong Delta provinces fluctuated mixed when some types of raw rice increased while others decreased. On the world market, the export price of rice suddenly dropped by 5 USD/ton.
With the price of rice, many localities have completely harvested winter-spring rice, so traders only trade dry rice. Currently, the price of long grain dry rice at the warehouse is from 6,000-7,950 VND/kg, depending on the locality. Rice is usually priced from 5,900-7,550 VND/kg.

Rice prices fluctuate in opposite directions Specifically, for ordinary rice in Long An, the price is 6,900 VND/kg; Tien Giang is 7,750 VND/kg; Dong Thap is 6,550 VND/kg; An Giang is 5,900 VND/kg… For long-grain rice, the price in Long An is 7,300 VND/kg; Tien Giang is 7,950 VND/kg; Dong Thap 7,100 VND/kg; An Giang 6,000 VND/kg… With rice prices, today is mixed. Specifically, the new NL IR 504 rice increased by 100 dong, to 7,900-8,000 dong/kg; new TP IR 504 rice reduced by 200 dong, to 8,800-8,900 dong/kg. While plate 1 IR 504 is stable at 7,900-8,000 VND/kg and gold bran is stable at 7,650 VND/kg. Traders said that today, the purchasing demand of warehouses has not prospered, in general, raw rice has returned to hybrid rai. ST rice types are sold well, prices are stable. Similarly, the types of rice sold at the market in An Giang also continued to be stable. Specifically, sticky intestines 14,000 VND/kg; fragrant rice diced 18,000 – 19,000 VND/kg; Jasmine 14,000 VND/kg; common white rice 14,000 VND/kg; Miss Hoa 16,200 VND/kg; Squirrel is usually 14,000 VND/kg, white rice is usually stable at 11,000 – 12,000 VND/kg, Japanese rice is 24,000 VND/kg; Nang Nhen rice 20,000 VND/kg; Thai squirrel 17,000 VND/kg… On the world market, the export price of rice today suddenly decreased slightly by 5 USD/ton for 5% broken rice. Accordingly, 5% broken rice is 483-487 USD/ton. Other types of rice continue to stand still, including: 25% broken rice 463-467 USD/ton; 100% rice price 418-422 USD/ton; Jasmine 563-567 USD/ton. Along with the adjusted Vietnamese rice price, the Thai rice offering price was also adjusted down by 1 USD/ton for 5%, 25% and 100% broken rice varieties. Currently, this country’s rice is recorded at 25-31 USD/ton lower than Vietnam’s rice of the same type. It is the lower Thai rice price that is creating great competitive pressure for our country’s exporters because buyers are turning to other rice exporters who are offering cheaper prices.

Bitcoin price today 10/6: Bitcoin skyrocketed to 37,000 USD

Hòa Bình — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 02:38:09 +0000

Bitcoin rose 11% to above 37,000 in early trading this morning, June 10, pulling many other leading cryptocurrencies up, pushing the market capitalization back to the $1.6 trillion mark.
At 6:30 a.m. on the CoinDesk exchange, the Bitcoin price stood at $37,404, up 11.69% or an additional $3,908 per coin. In the past 24 hours, the lowest trading price of Bitcoin was recorded at 32,437 USD and highest at 37,416 USD. On Vicuta, the price of Bitcoin was adjusted to buy at 855.6 million and sell at 985.4 million.

Bitcoin suddenly surged in the past 24 hours. According to Coinmarketcap, the amount of Bitcoin traded in the last 24 hours is about 35.9 billion USD, the market capitalization recorded at 697.4 billion USD. Many large-cap cryptocurrencies skyrocketed with Bitcoin. Specifically, Ethereum is up 3.6% to $2,608, Binance Coin is up 6.8%, Cardano is up 3%, Ripple is up 2.6%, Uniswap is up 7.3%, Bitcoin Cash is up 6.1%, Litecoin is up 2.6% 6.8%, Chainlink up 5.6%… The strong momentum of Bitcoin and leading cryptocurrencies caused the total capitalization to increase by 6.5% to more than $1,630 billion. According to many professional traders, the driving force behind the growth of Bitcoin comes from the fact that El Salvador – the first country to consider Bitcoin digital currency as legal. Channel France24 quoted El Salvador President Nayib Bukele’s statement on Twitter, saying that the Bitcoin Law has just been approved with a majority vote. The bill proposed by Mr Bukele to parliament last weekend was approved by 62 out of 84 MPs. “It’s a historical mark,” Nayib Bukele shared on Twitter. Before the vote, Mr. Bukele affirmed that the adoption of digital currency will bring finance, investment, tourism, innovation and comprehensive economic development to this Central American country. According to him, Bitcoin is the fastest way to transfer billions of dollars of remittances to El Salvador without losing millions of dollars to intermediaries. Remittances from El Salvadorans working abroad make up a major part of the country’s economy, equivalent to about 22% of gross domestic product. According to official reports, in 2020, the amount of remittances to this country will reach 5.9 billion USD. “This is the law that will make El Salvador a place of international interest. We will be more attractive to foreign investment.” Romeo Auerbach, Vice President of the National Union of Solidarity Party in El Salvador, said. Bitcoin is a highly volatile virtual currency. After reaching an all-time high at 64,800 USD on April 14, this virtual currency has plummeted without brakes. The reason comes from Elon Musk’s announcement that Tesla will stop accepting Bitcoin because of controversial carbon emissions issues and China’s tightening ban on cryptocurrency trading and banning Bitcoin mining rigs. Many countries have also recently introduced new regulations to control activities related to cryptocurrencies.

The ‘father’ of Bitcoin was minted statue

Phúc Thịnh — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 06:20:07 +0000

A statue of Satoshi Nakamoto will be erected near the Steve Jobs statue in Budapest (Hungary).
Designed by sculptors Réka Gergely and Tamás Gilly, Nakamoto’s statue is a hooded man with a Bitcoin logo on his chest.

11 home tips to help you cope with summer health problems

CTV Ngọc Diệp/VOV.VN (biên dịch) thehealthy — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 18:02:07 +0000

Summer heat can cause many unwanted health problems. Here are home tips to help you deal with these problems.

Use vinegar to soothe sunburned skin: Vinegar contains acetic acid, one of the ingredients in the pain reliever aspirin, so it also works to relieve pain, itching and inflammation caused by sunburn. Simply dip a tissue in white vinegar and apply it to the sunburned area. Use baking soda to cool down a heat rash: If you have a heat rash, soak in a basin of water or a tub of water mixed with a few tablespoons of baking soda. This will help reduce the uncomfortable itching sensation. Use aloe vera to treat blisters: First, you need to clean the blister or blister with soap and water. Then, apply aloe vera gel to the blister and cover it with a bandage. Use garlic to treat otitis externa: Otitis externa usually occurs when water gets trapped in the ear, creating conditions for bacteria and fungi to grow. To relieve ear pain, you can use garlic oil available at the pharmacy or make your own homemade garlic oil to make ear drops. Use peppermint oil to soothe insect bites: Instead of scratching an insect bite, apply a few drops of peppermint oil on it. Peppermint oil has a cooling effect and improves blood circulation to the bite site, thereby accelerating wound healing. Use honey to heal scratches: If you don’t have an antibiotic to apply to the scratch after disinfecting, apply a few drops of honey to the wound and then cover it. Honey has antibacterial properties and some studies have shown it to help heal wounds. Use avocado to restore dry, frizzy hair from the sun: The hot summer sun can easily make your hair dry, burnt, frizzy and broken. To overcome this situation, use avocado flesh to incubate your hair. Avocados help moisturize and add protein to the hair, making it stronger. Use tape to remove a splinter: If you have a splinter that is too small to be removed with tweezers, try taping the splinter with tape. After about three days, peel off the tape and the splinter will be removed. Use mouthwash to treat foot fungus: A bottle of sugar-free antiseptic mouthwash may be all you need when you have superficial fungus on your feet or toenails. Simply soak a cotton ball in mouthwash and apply it to the affected area. Use a meat tenderizer to relieve the pain of bee stings: Make a thick paste of meat tenderizer and water, then apply the mixture directly to the bee sting. The enzymes present in the meat tenderizer will help break down the proteins present in the bee venom. Use rubbing alcohol to get rid of dog ticks: Dog ticks absolutely hate the smell of rubbing alcohol. Before you remove the tick from your skin, dab it with rubbing alcohol to get it to loosen its grip. Once the tick is removed, use rubbing alcohol to disinfect the wound. This method is applicable to both people and pets when caught by dog ticks.

10 Dream Facts: Nightmares Aren’t Always A Bad Thing

T. Linh (Theo Brightside) — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 16:28:14 +0000

Researchers claim that feeling fear in dreams can actually help you better cope with real-life fears.
10 Dream Facts: Nightmares Aren’t Always A Bad Thing

Bad dreams protect us in real life Most of us have had bad dreams at some point in our lives, although they seem scary, there are actually good sides to bad dreams. Researchers claim that feeling fear in dreams can actually help you better cope with real-life fears. Bad dreams enhance the brain’s ability to react to real-life dangers and frightening experiences. However, in terrifying and traumatic dreams, those benefits are lost and they can actually cause ill effects that continue after awakening. Illustration. Most muscles are paralyzed during REM sleep During deep REM sleep, the stage in which we sleep where most dreams occur, our eyes continue to move but the muscles are paralyzed. According to a study, a set of specialized cells in the brain called motor neurons prevent muscles from moving when we sleep to prevent potential injury. Illustration. Dreams enhance creativity and problem solving Many people have had incredible breakthroughs in their dreams. Whether it is a scientific idea, art, music, novel or film, reality shows that dreams can create real gems and there is a perfectly valid reason backed by science. household. When we dream, our brain is in a different neurophysiological state, allowing it to become more adept at solving problems and finding solutions to things that baffle our minds. . In this state, we experience higher brain activity, which makes the brain more capable of coming up with creative solutions and problem solving. People forget 95% of their dreams We all know how difficult it can be to recall dreams after waking up, not to mention recalling older dreams from weeks, months, or years ago. In fact, we forget up to 95% of our dreams. This is because the changes in the brain that occur when we sleep do not support the information processing needed to store and form memories. Brain scans of sleeping people show that the region that plays a key role in memory formation found in the frontal lobes is inactive during REM sleep. Illustration. Not all dreams have color Although it may sound surprising, not everyone is able to see colors in their dreams. The phenomenon dates back to the 1940s when many people reported having dreamed of black and white. Today, studies suggest that this has to do with the fact that at the time people were exposed to black and white media because color TV had not been invented. To support this theory, a study was conducted on 2 different age groups with different media exposure experiences. People with more exposure to black and white media had more gray dreams than those with more experience with color media. Illustration. Blind people can also have visual dreams People who are born blind can have visual experiences in dreams because they have the same electrical activity in their brains as people with normal vision. However, even though they have visual sensations in their dreams, they cannot describe the experience and conceptualize the feeling as if they had never experienced the sight in their life. Dreams are motivated by memory, so people who lose their vision later in life can experience visual dreams thanks to brain circuits that were formed before they went blind. Illustration. You can’t read in your dreams When we are reading, this is when the right part of our brain is most activated and this is exactly the part of the brain that cannot be reached while dreaming. In fact, when we dream, the entire brain region responsible for language, reading, writing and speaking becomes less active. However, there is an exception to this rule and some people can read it in their dreams. However, this only applies to a small number of people – usually those who think about language and write the most like writers and poets. We only dream of faces we have seen in real life Whether you really miss them or not, you can only dream of faces you’ve seen in the past. Our dreams are drawn from real experiences, so the faces you see in your dreams are the result of your interpretation of actual experiences. Illustration. Dreaming is a real phenomenon We all catch ourselves drifting away with our minds and not being fully in the present moment, almost everyone has experienced this. However, daydreaming, in the real world sense, can happen to some people who are capable of daydreaming so vividly that they almost experience their presence in a different environment. Illustration. Being able to control your dreams By experiencing lucid dreams, you can become aware that you are literally dreaming and thus take control of your dreams. This type of dream is related to a higher awareness of your mental state, and people who have experienced lucid dreams claim that they already knew they were dreaming when they woke up.

Major Bitcoin Mining Region in China Will Strictly Penalize Crypto Mining

Hạc Hiên / Theo báo chí nước ngoài — Thu, 27 May 2021 15:50:08 +0000

China’s Inner Mongolia region has proposed penalties for companies and individuals involved in cryptocurrency mining as the region appears to want more control over the activity.

The move comes after Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said last week in a statement that it was necessary to “suppress the behavior of Bitcoin mining and trading” to prevent “the transmission of personal risk to social spheres”. Those comments are seen as Beijing’s intention to further block Bitcoin trading and other crypto-related activities. Inner Mongolia’s latest draft proposals are aimed at telecommunications and internet companies involved in cryptocurrency mining. The Inner Mongolia Development and Reform Commission said such companies could have their business licenses revoked if they are found to be involved in Bitcoin mining. In addition, cloud computing or data centers may have their government incentives revoked. In addition, there are severe penalties for individuals involved in money laundering through cryptocurrencies. Inner Mongolia’s tough stance on crypto mining began in March after it announced plans to ban new crypto mining projects and shut down existing operations to cut consumption. energy. China’s Northern Region failed to meet Beijing’s energy use targets in 2019 and subsequently set out a plan to reduce power consumption. In the case of Bitcoin, miners purposefully use computers to solve complex mathematical puzzles that allow a Bitcoin transaction to take place efficiently. These miners are rewarded with Bitcoins. But because the computer has a large capacity, it consumes a lot of energy. According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, Bitcoin mining consumes around 112.57 terrawatt-hours (TWh) per year, more than the consumption of countries like the Philippines and Chile. China accounts for about 65% of the world’s Bitcoin mining. Of that, Inner Mongolia accounts for about 8% globally due to cheap energy prices, a larger share of Bitcoin mining in the United States. China’s tough stance towards cryptocurrencies is not new. China previously shut down local cryptocurrency exchanges in 2017 and that same year also banned initial coin offerings (ICOs). But Bitcoin trading continues to operate in China even though exchanges have moved overseas. Inner Mongolia’s scrutiny of Bitcoin mining activity in particular comes as China tries to continue the move. Chinese President Xi Jinping said last year that China has set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2060. But according to a study published in Nature Communications in April 2021, Bitcoin mining could “undermine emissions reduction efforts” going on in the country. The energy consumption of Bitcoin mining operations came back into focus in early May after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the electric carmaker would stop accepting the digital currency for the reason due to environmental concerns. On Monday (May 24), Musk said in a tweet that he has met Bitcoin miners in North America and that they are “committed to announcing current and planned uses of renewables.”

Mobile Money will be the driving force for the digital economy

editor — Wed, 26 May 2021 21:46:08 +0000

Mobile Money will promote cashless payments and create a strong impetus for Vietnam’s digital economy and digital society.
According to the International Data Group (IDG), by the end of 2019, only nearly 40% of the Vietnamese population had a bank account. Of these, still up to 80% of daily user spending is done by cash. Statistics also show that 98% of Vietnamese people use cash when paying for items under VND 100,000 and nearly 85% of transactions at ATMs are cash withdrawals. These are the barriers if Vietnam wants to promote the development of the digital economy.

Mobile Money serves up to 90% of small transactions Faced with this shortcoming, the Ministry of Information and Communications believes that Mobile Money will be an effective solution to add to the means of payment for Vietnamese people. If Mobile Money service is licensed to telecommunications companies, the coverage of e-payment services will quickly reach 100% of the population. This will promote e-commerce, agricultural commodity exchanges, especially in remote areas, promote online public services, promote Fintech companies, innovative startups, help economic growth. All countries that allow Mobile Money generate economic growth of up to 0.5%. According to calculations by major service providers, Mobile Money will probably serve up to 90% of small transactions. This is an opportunity for telecommunications companies to promote digital transformation of customers. Because, users can easily buy online goods services as well as digital content services in the telecommunications company’s ecosystem. On the contrary, this is also the driving force for telecommunications companies to digitally transform. This will bring great benefits to society to move towards a digital economy and digital society in the future. Commenting on this issue, Mr. Vu Hoang Lien, Chairman of Vietnam Internet Association, said that Mobile Money service will bring many benefits to consumers and society and promote non-cash payments. However, the Mobile Money service will also impact payment intermediary service providers as the service will share the market, customers and business algorithms. However, with the trend of technology, we need to further improve the payment environment to be a driving force for development. “If licensed soon, Mobile Money will be the Government’s first sandbox to create breakthroughs and create strong momentum for new technologies and new services to be introduced to society. If we look at the services If new services bring benefits to the people and the country, it will be very easy to put these sandboxes as a driving force for development. Whether the policy admits new things and new components to the market or does it still keep its own territory for the old ones Sandbox will create a breakthrough legal environment that dares to accept change, accept new things create new vitality of society in the trend of digital transformation,” said Mr. Vu Hoang Lien. Mobile Money: an opportunity for telecom companies The Chairman of Vietnam Internet Association emphasized that the opportunity for telecommunications companies for Mobile Money service is very clear when they have a customer base because most Vietnamese people use mobile phones. The telecommunications company’s services are also the foundation for connecting many essential services of society, so it will open up great opportunities for the development of Mobile Money services. Three major service providers, Viettel, VNPT, and MobiFone have also applied for permission to provide this service. In this race, the company that solves the management problem to bring benefits to customers will prevail. From Mr. Lien’s point of view, Viettel is slightly better than other service providers because of its large customer base and good management. However, telecommunications companies can take advantage of their strengths to attract customers, so this will be a hot market in the near future. Currently, the Government has agreed to test the Mobile Money service for 2 years, but service providers are still waiting for a license. Commenting on this delay, Mr. Mai Liem Truc, former Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications (now the Ministry of Information and Communications) said that Mobile Money was delayed by about 2 years. If this service is licensed early, it will bring many benefits to society and the economy. Mr. Truc also emphasized, Sandbox is the direction for the Government to vigorously test new technology services that bring benefits to the people and the country. “Sandbox” is a pilot institutional framework, allowing a small number of businesses, to test new technologies and new business models in a practical environment but with a defined scope and time, under the supervision of regulators and have appropriate hedging plans in place to prevent the consequences of failure without having a major impact on the national financial system. Following the government’s direction, the State Bank is currently building regulatory sandboxes for financial and banking services based on information technology, including Mobile Money.

‘I spent 3 billion to dig green Bitcoin but got 56 million dong’

editor — Mon, 24 May 2021 20:16:08 +0000

Touted as the future of Bitcoin, the Chia made many Vietnamese people join in mining. However, investing in Chia mining makes many people have no way back because of the scarcity of hard drives.
“I spent 3 billion to dig Chia. After more than 2 months, everything is like a drop of salt,” said Cong Tran, an owner of Chia mining in Tan Binh, Ho Chi Minh City with more than 40 machines.

According to Mr. Cong, during more than 2 months of mining Chia, the actual amount of copper received back only stopped at 3 units. Currently, on the Huobi exchange, Chia is being valued at $820. This means that after 2 months and 3 billion of capital, he earned about 56 million VND. Fear of missing out on green Bitcoin The reason given by Mr. Cong is that although Chia saves electricity, it is difficult to compete with the super mines in China. Besides, the dramatic drop in the price of cryptocurrencies in the past week also increased the payback time of Chia mines. The hard drive is what determines the success or failure of Chia mining. “I invest a lot of money but I am quite vague about my income. The reason is that I fear that I will miss the opportunity to get rich like the way Bitcoin created 4 years ago. There were very few Bitcoin miners back then, I was one of the first. That’s why I have faith in Chia. But things don’t seem to be as I thought,” Cong said. According to Mr. Cong, his Chia mining system uses a 6TB HDD. Each of these hard drives costs 6.5 million VND. The number of hard drives in Mr. Cong’s mine is close to 300. Previously, the price of HDDs was only about 2-4 million VND. However, the wave of Chia mining has made the hard drive double in price. To cope with the huge write rates of Chia miners, many memory manufacturers have designed SSDs specifically for this purpose, like TeamGroup’s T-Create Expert model with a write limit of up to 12,000 TB. Amazon Web Services also recently opened a Chia mining service for the Chinese market. Hard drives increase in price, are in short supply but still have to buy more “In the game of chia mining, whoever has the most large capacity hard drives, that person has a higher chance of winning. And the winners at this point are the mining pools in China. They buy large quantities of hard drives at very high prices to gain an advantage in the market,” said Mr. Reply Zing , a representative of GearVN store confirmed the shortage of goods with large capacity drive models. However, this company’s customers, mainly individual users, have not been affected much. Hard drive prices have doubled since April because of the green Bitcoin craze. “GearVN’s customers are mainly end users and gamers, with a demand for hard drive capacity from 1 TB to 4 TB. In this segment, the price and supply are still stable,” a GearVN representative shared. This is also considered the biggest risk when participating in the “Green Bitcoin” market. According to experts, the difficulty of Chia mining is many times faster than Bitcoin. This means that mining systems must be invested with as many hard drives as possible. Previously, Bitcoin could be mined at individual scale because of the slow increase in difficulty. In the Chinese market, many traders have gathered thousands of hard drives to redistribute to Chia miners. According to ADATA, thanks to Chia, the number of SSDs sold by this company has increased 5 times in the past month. The shortage of goods makes many manufacturers of hard drives and SSDs prioritize serving the Chinese market. Order time in other markets is 2, 3 times longer. “In the past, every time a new order was placed, the waiting time was about 4-6 weeks. Now, the waiting time must increase to 8-10 weeks, high-capacity lines can sometimes be up to 13-15 weeks. Calculated, the standby time increased 2, 3 times, “said a representative of a distributor of the Seagate hard drive brand. Despite having an advantage in power consumption, Chia has a problem with mining materials, here is the hard drive. “I have to constantly buy hard drives while the price is getting more and more expensive. Without a hard drive, we wouldn’t have a place to store the strings of codes that can form a Chia,” said Cong. Uncertain future Chia was created by Bram Cohen, the “father” of the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file transfer protocol. The company behind this currency is Chia Network, backed by investor Naval Ravikant, some well-known companies such as Andreessen Horowitz or Cypherpunk Holdings. From May 3, this currency will be publicly traded and exchanged. According to the Business Insider , Split based on PoST (proof of space and time) consensus algorithm. In it, PoS (proof of space) describes an allocated hard drive space for blockchain block storage. In other words, the “miner” Chia will reserve a certain amount of memory space on the hard drive to store blockchains. Mining is very little, but participants have to constantly buy more hard drives in order to have space to store the blockchain. They will be awarded based on the ratio of memory cells that “miners” have to store compared to the entire network, as verified by a VDF server (aka Timelord). Chia Network, the representative company, said that this currency has good security, consumes less energy than coins using the PoW (proof of work) consensus algorithm. Unlike Bitcoin, Chia has no limit on the amount of coins mined on the blockchain. Instead, the number of diggers that can be mined will change continuously depending on demand. Chia Network, the company responsible for this currency will hold 21 million Chia in order to control price fluctuations, reducing the possibility of problems. Although the future of Chia is envisioned as ideal, the coin has only been traded on a number of crypto exchanges since early May with the token XCH. At first, the price per dong has more than doubled from $700 on May 4 to $1,600. However, facing the decline of the entire cryptocurrency market, Chia also suffered a price drop. Besides, too much hard drive also makes the Chia project away from the original “green” purpose of the founders. The owner of the net shop unplugs the machine, digs coins and waits for the translation to end Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Nguyen Minh Quan (Thu Duc City) had to close the net shop, remove the graphics card to dig coins, earn extra income waiting for the reopening of the shop.

Dermatologists show 5 ways to deal with acne caused by masks

Jinn — Sun, 23 May 2021 20:41:09 +0000

Wearing a mask but still having acne?

We must continue to fight the epidemic one more time. However, in addition to taking care of our health, there is one more thing we need to pay attention to that is skin care. The benefits of wearing a mask are undeniable, but are you facing acne caused by wearing a mask? (Source: Internet) Dermatologists point to 3 reasons for this: – Wearing a mask continuously for a long time makes the skin secret, plus the hot and humid climate in Vietnam will increase the risk of developing acne. – The medical masks we usually use only have 3-4 layers, quite thin and therefore cannot protect the skin comprehensively. Dirt can still penetrate, especially fine dust. Most of us are wearing masks incorrectly, creating conditions for bacteria to stick to the mask. Here are 5 ways for you to overcome acne caused by wearing a mask: Always keep your skin clean and clear The first tip is to wash your face before wearing the mask and after removing the mask. The masks you use will inadvertently trap bacteria, excess oil and dirt on your face and “press” it back to your skin when you wear it. Use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers like Cerave or Cetaphil. This ensures that your skin will always be clear and clean, reducing the risk of acne. Choose the right cleanser for your skin type: moisturizing for normal to dry skin, gentle foaming for oily skin. However, you can use a cleanser with Salicylic Acid added to it if you have acne problems, like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Don’t forget to moisturize your skin It sounds paradoxical, if wearing a mask causes skin irritation, what does extra moisturizer do to make it more secret? But this is not entirely correct. Using a moisturizing mask every day can help prevent irritation from constant mask wearing. In addition, experts suggest using moisturizers with a water-based, fragrance-free gel texture. The gel will quickly penetrate into the skin, not causing greasy shine, but also strengthen the protective film of the skin. (Source: Internet) Avoid wearing too much makeup when wearing a mask Yes, it’s hard to admit this if you’re a makeup lover yourself, but skipping makeup while wearing a mask is the best way to keep your skin clear. In addition, ingredients in makeup can affect the effectiveness of the mask. However, if makeup is a must, make sure you use mineral oil-free or non-irritating makeup products that won’t clog pores, and remember to thoroughly remove makeup at the end of the day. COVER FX is a well-known mineral oil-free cosmetic brand Use products specifically for acne If you are still experiencing recurring or worsening acne from wearing a mask despite your best efforts, this is the time to use more specific acne products. Apply a small amount of gel containing 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) or 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide directly to the pimple 1-2 times per day. Neutrogena On the Spot Acne Treatment (2.5% benzoyl peroxide) or Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment (2% salicylic acid) are two specific acne products recommended by some experts. Always use a new mask Or wash the mask regularly if you are using a cloth mask. It is important that you pay attention to what you are using to wash your mask. Ordinary laundry detergent may be good for your clothes, but may not be good for your mask because it is also an irritant to the skin of the face. Since fragrances and dyes in detergents can leave residue on fabrics and can cause irritation, use a hypoallergenic detergent.

The DarkSide hacker group received $90 million worth of bitcoins from the victim before disappearing

Thu Thắm — Sun, 23 May 2021 18:52:08 +0000

DarkSide, the hacker organization behind the Colonial Pipeline’s network crash, received $90 million worth of bitcoins from victims before shutting down its operations last week.
DarkSide is a famous hacker organization that caused the collapse of the largest fuel pipeline system in the US operated by Colonila Pipeline company. After this incident, they disappeared, but before that they were able to extort and receive from many victims $ 90 million worth of bitcoins.

This hacker organization has received ransom from many victims. This shows that data ransom attacks have become a lucrative business for cybercriminals. Bitcoin is increasingly preferred by criminal organizations Earlier this month, Colonial Pipeline suffered a severe attack that forced the company to shut down nearly all of its fuel system supplying the southeastern states of the United States. The FBI confirmed the crime was DarkSide, a cybercrime organization believed to be located in Eastern Europe. Last week, it was reported that Colonial had agreed to pay $ 5 million to DarkSide (in bitcoin) for the data recovery password. Recently, the CEO of the company confirmed this information. DarkSide operates like a business. This group develops malicious code to crack and steal the target’s data, then trains partners, the partners continue to train the hackers. When hackers use this malicious code to carry out successful missions, DarkSide will receive a percentage of those successful attacks. In March 2021, when it announced a new software that can crack data faster than before, DarkSide even released a press release and invited reporters to interview. Hackers often demand ransom in virtual currency. London-based blockchain analytics firm Elliptic has identified a bitcoin wallet that DarkSide uses to receive ransoms from victims. On May 14, London-based blockchain analytics firm Elliptic said it had identified a bitcoin wallet used by DarkSide to collect ransoms from victims. That same day, Intel 471 security researchers said DarkSide closed after losing access to its servers and when the organization’s virtual currency wallets were empty. According to Elliptic, DarkSide and other affiliates of this organization have collected at least $90 million in bitcoin ransoms, and they receive funds through 47 different digital wallets. “To our knowledge, this analysis includes all payments to DarkSide,” said Tom Robinson, Elliptic co-founder and chief scientist. However, there may be other undetected transactions, so this $90 million figure should be considered the lowest limit.” Also according to Elliptic’s research, DarkSide’s bitcoin wallet was holding $5.3 million in cryptocurrency before it was all withdrawn last week. There are some rumors that these bitcoins have been seized by the US government. Of the $90 million ransom, $15.5 million went to the developers of DarkSide and $74.7 million to affiliates. Much of that is being sent to cryptocurrency exchanges and thereby converted into fiat. Bitcoin is increasingly preferred by criminal organizations as crypto traders do not reveal their identities. However, because the digital ledger that underpins bitcoin is public, researchers can keep track of where these funds are going.

Some people suddenly received 701 Bitcoins

Phúc Thịnh — Sat, 22 May 2021 09:10:06 +0000

Cryptocurrency lending startup BlockFi mistakenly sent large amounts of Bitcoin to some customers, turning them into millionaires. However, this exchange recovered the Bitcoins.
The incident occurred a few days ago when BlockFi rewarded customers for participating in a promotion in March for trading a certain amount of USD. Zac Prince, co-founder and CEO of BlockFi, said that the amount of Bitcoin was mistakenly transferred to dozens of customers. Some people voluntarily returned the funds, while BlockFi took the initiative to reverse transactions from those accounts that had not yet withdrawn to cold wallets.

“BlockFi has always had provisions for loss in accordance with its accounting policy. This is part of the provision so it doesn’t have a big impact on the equity or operation of the platform,” Prince said that the mis-transfer problem has been fixed dress. BlockFi also developed additional measures to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future. A BlockFi user received 701 Bitcoins due to the crash. Screenshots. BlockFi’s Twitter page states that some participants in the promotion may “see incorrect bonuses in transaction history”. Those withdrawing to cold wallets were emailed by BlockFi asking to send their funds back. Share with CoinDesk , a BlockFi user said he withdrew a large amount of Bitcoin received from BlockFi to a cold wallet, claiming that this was a reward of a promotion. After realizing the problem amount, he requested to cancel the withdrawal. However, it is not clear why the Bitcoins are still withdrawn to cold wallets. The next day, this user received emails and calls from BlockFi, threatening to get legal intervention if the money was not returned. On the Internet, many BlockFi users have shared images of receiving large Bitcoins from “falling from the sky”. “I thought BlockFi was going to transfer 701 USD but mistaken it for 701 Bitcoin”, Twitter user Ric Burton share. Another said that he received 5 Bitcoins but was also asked to return it by BlockFi. “I got to be a millionaire in 3 hours”, account nebrijo comment, with a picture of an account balance of more than $1.5 million before transferring the mistakenly sent Bitcoin to BlockFi. According to the Bloomberg , BlockFi is a platform that provides lending and trading services for cryptocurrencies. Despite having just experienced a sharp price crash, the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency is trading at around $40,000, as of May 21. BlockFi’s large Bitcoin transfer by mistake is reminiscent of last year’s incident, when Citibank mistakenly transferred $900 million to several creditors of cosmetics firm Revlon, instead of just paying $8 million in interest. Expensive price for Bitcoin mining Since the advent of cryptocurrencies, the amount of electricity required for mining has increased significantly. This leads experts to believe that cryptocurrency mining is not environmentally friendly.

8 tips to help you deal with oily, greasy hair

CTV Ngọc Diệp/VOV.VN (biên dịch) thehealthy — Fri, 21 May 2021 16:25:12 +0000

Thanks to these simple tips, you will no longer have to feel embarrassed about your greasy hair.

Reduce the frequency of shampooing: Although shampoo helps prevent oil from accumulating on the scalp, washing your hair too much is not good for people with oily scalp. Washing your hair too much will irritate the scalp and lose its natural oils, stimulating the sebaceous glands to produce more oil to compensate. You should only wash your hair two to three times a week. Use the right comb: Comb or hairbrush can be one of the main “culprits” that make your hair greasy quickly. If you do not regularly clean the hair brush, hair loss and hair care product residues are easy to accumulate on the hair brush, causing unhygienic. If you have an oily scalp, you should use a wider tooth brush. Avoid touching your hair: Touching or stroking your hair unconsciously can cause hair to become greasy quickly, as this action causes sweat and oil from your hands to stick to your hair. Hide greasy hair with a hairstyle: On days when you don’t have enough time to deal with greasy hair, try “disguising” your hair with special hairstyles. You can tie your hair in a ponytail or a bun to cover the roots where the oil accumulates most. Deep Cleansing: When you find that washing your hair regularly is not enough to prevent greasy hair, you can consider a deep scalp cleaning at the hair salon. At professional hair salons, you can use “luxury” scalp and hair treatments to get completely clean and oil-free hair. Use dry shampoo in moderation: Dry shampoo is a lifesaver on those days when you don’t have time to wash your hair with regular shampoo. Dry shampoo helps absorb excess oil from the scalp, thereby making your hair look less greasy. However, you should avoid depending on dry shampoo, because dry shampoo does not clean the scalp and hair like regular shampoo. Avoid moisturizing products: If you have an oily scalp, you should avoid shampoos, conditioners or hair conditioners made for dry hair. You should also avoid using hair conditioners, hair sprays or styling waxes on the hairline near the scalp. Improve nutrition: To have beautiful hair, you need to take care of your hair from the inside. Your diet has a huge influence on your hair, from the speed of hair growth, the thickness of your hair to the amount of oil your scalp produces. A low-carb and low-sugar diet will help you improve the condition of greasy hair quickly.

Rising hot, this virtual currency turns investors into billionaires

editor — Thu, 20 May 2021 17:47:10 +0000

The popular virtual currency Bitcoin must be wary of the Ethereum digital currency that is emerging as a strong competitor in the future.
Investors are amazed when the Ethereum cryptocurrency this morning touched $4,141. This is the first time the digital currency has surpassed the $4,000 mark and its total capitalization currently stands at $476.3 billion, which is almost half of Bitcoin’s value of $1.1 trillion.

According to analysts, Bitcoin is too expensive, causing investors to rush to find new digital currencies to profit. As a result, Ethereum has increased by more than 40% in value in the past April. Ethereum cryptocurrency was launched in 2013 with the purpose of being used to transact for an intranet of the same name. Now it is turning these crypto holders into billionaires with skyrocketing prices. The Ethereum cryptocurrency is also benefiting from the rise of NFTs, aka non-fungible tokens. This is a digital asset designed to represent ownership of unique virtual items such as art and sports memorabilia. Many NFTs like CryptoKitties and CryptoPunks are all running on Ethereum. However, this outburst of activity has resulted in congestion on the Ethereum network. Ethereum is currently being upgraded with the ambition of enabling faster transaction times and reducing the amount of power required to process transactions.

Hacker group speaks out after the hack that shook the US energy industry

Phúc Thịnh — Thu, 20 May 2021 05:17:08 +0000

A cyberattack on the largest U.S. fuel system operator could have serious consequences, causing gas prices like gasoline to rise.
On May 10, DarkSide, the hacker group believed to be behind the attack on Colonial Pipeline, the company that operates the largest refined fuel pipeline in the US, posted a new statement.

According to the Vice , DarkSide’s message does not directly refer to the Colonial Pipeline attack, but is titled “Regarding the Latest News”. The group said its actions were unrelated to politics. The cyber attack on May 7 caused the Colonial Pipeline’s fuel pipeline system to stop working. Photo: Bloomberg. “We are a non-political group, not involved in geopolitics. Don’t tie us to a government or look for other motives… Our aim is to make money, not to cause problems for society,” a DarkSide representative wrote on a website belonging to the dark web. According to the Washington Post , some US officials believe that DarkSide is the hacker group behind the Colonial Pipeline attack. Also in the new statement, DarkSide said it will change the way it works and selects targets. “From today, we will examine and analyze each company that partners want to encrypt to avoid social consequences,” the group wrote. On May 7, Colonial Pipeline announced that it had to disconnect some systems after discovering it was “a victim of a cyber attack”. According to the Business Insider , this move caused more than 8,046 km of fuel pipes and some computer systems of Colonial Pipeline to stop working. In an updated statement on May 8, the company representative confirmed that the software used for the attack was in the form of ransomware, which encrypts files in the system and requires victims to pay if they want to get it. again. The company hired a cybersecurity firm to investigate the severity of the attack. The DarkSide hacker group spoke out after the alleged implementation of a cyber attack against the Colonial Pipeline. Photo: Motherboard. According to information on its website, Colonial Pipeline transports about 45% of all fuel consumed on the East Coast of the United States. On May 9, the company said that while the main pipelines are still closed, some smaller pipelines have been reactivated. In response to the incident, the US Department of Transportation has declared a state of emergency in 17 states and Washington to lift restrictions on carriers and drivers assisting in fuel shortages. The declaration of emergency will be in effect until the end of the state of affairs, or until 23:59 on June 8 (local time). After the Colonial Pipeline incident, gasoline prices in the US increased more than 3% to $2,217 per gallon – the highest price since May 2018. Experts warn that the price of gas raw materials may increase further if Colonial Pipeline does not reopen the pipeline in the next few days. How did the FBI hack the suspect’s iPhone? Cellebrite has invented a phone-cracking technology that makes it easier for the FBI to investigate.

Implementing an effective Mobile Money pilot requires readiness in terms of technical infrastructure, technology, human resources, finance and moreover, the security issue cannot be taken lightly. Ready to “enter” Mobile Money Mobile Money service helps people, especially in remote and isolated areas, have more means of non-cash payment, especially for small expenditures under 100,000 VND. People will be able to withdraw and top up money at telecommunications transaction points or business transaction points authorized by DNVT as a legal entity. Sharing about Viettel’s preparation to deploy Mobile Money service, Deputy General Director of Viettel Digital Services Corporation, Major Truong Quang Viet said: “Viettel has successfully tested Mobile Money for 40,000 customers. internally, ready to provide services to 100% of Viettel customers In addition, we have a set of knowledge ready to train for Mobile Money transaction points, so as soon as it is approved by the authorities , all transaction or payment acceptance points of Viettel have a certain understanding of Mobile Money to support users.Besides, Viettel also prepares a 24/7 customer care system for advice and answers. all customer inquiries. Preparing to enter a completely new field, Deputy General Director of MobiFone Telecommunications Corporation Bui Son Nam informed: MobiFone established MobiFone Digital Service Center and prepared the entire technical infrastructure to ensure deploy Mobile Money as soon as the Government allows. Commenting on the advantages of operators when implementing Mobile Money, Deputy Director of the Department of Telecommunication (Ministry of Information and Communications) Tran Duy Hai said: “Thanks to taking advantage of the telecommunications network infrastructure and transaction points on the Internet. Nationwide, DNVT has many advantages when deploying this service, however, the implementation process also faces certain difficulties such as: Changing user habits or DNVT previously only stopped at deploying e-wallets, now the network will be expanded and deployed to remote areas, accompanied by requirements for risk prevention and control, ensuring the safety of money in the account, and anti-money laundering … “. Security comes from both sides As a non-cash payment activity, one of the biggest concerns of users when using Mobile Money is information security and safety. Regarding this issue, according to Deputy Director Tran Duy Hai: In the Prime Minister’s decision to allow pilot service, the pilot enterprise must have a system that meets the requirements of ensuring system safety. Level 3 information in accordance with current law. In addition, there must be a system to store the arising Mobile Money transaction history; at the same time, there must be a backup copy of archival information in service of inspection, examination and information provision upon request from competent state management agencies. For accounting documents, enterprises conducting the pilot must store them in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Accounting,… From the point of view of a cybersecurity expert, Deputy Chief Technology Officer of Vietnam Cybersecurity Technology Joint Stock Company Ngo Quoc Vinh also gave warnings about security when people in remote areas approach Mobile. Money. The reason is that people in this area do not have knowledge about network security as well as have no conditions to equip measures to protect equipment or personal data. Cybercriminals will take advantage of that and be well-prepared to target financial theft. Specifically, making the most of fake websites, messages, and information to reach users. Mr. Ngo Quoc Vinh also said that in order to be licensed, service providers must comply with and equip a series of security architectural solutions at the request of the State.

In a status line (tweet) on the social network Twitter on May 12, Tesla CEO (CEO) Elon Musk suddenly announced that this electric car company stopped accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment when customers buy a car. . This statement by Mr. Musk – who has expressed a pro-crypto stance – shocked investors and caused a sell-off. The reason the world’s second-richest billionaire gave for the reversal is the risks that virtual currencies pose to the global environment. Bitcoin price immediately dropped after Mr. Musk’s tweet was posted. At more than 7:00 am on May 13, Vietnam time, Bitcoin price according to data on Coinmarketcap.com page slipped below $ 50,000, down more than 13% compared to the time 24 hours ago. Many other “hot” virtual currencies also dropped sharply, such as Ethereum down more than 6%, Dogecoin sliding 14%… In February, Musk revealed that Tesla had poured $1.5 billion into Bitcoin and said the company would soon accept Bitcoin as a means of payment when customers buy a car. That information immediately pushed the Bitcoin price up 20%. By March, he said Tesla customers were able to pay with Bitcoin. In a tweet on May 12, Musk said Tesla will not sell a single Bitcoin, but instead intends to use Bitcoin for transactions as soon as Bitcoin mining moves to using other energy sources. more sustainable quantity. “We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use less than 1% of electricity like Bitcoin,” Musk wrote. Bitcoins are “mined” by competing high-performance computers solving complex math problems, and the process consumes enormous amounts of power. The source of electricity for Bitcoin mining is usually thermal power, especially coal-fired power plants, posing a great concern about environmental pollution. At current rates, Bitcoin mining pools used as much energy as the entire Netherlands in 2019, according to data from the University of Cambridge and the International Energy Agency (IEA). Musk himself is a supporter of virtual currencies, and his statements often cause cryptocurrency prices to fluctuate wildly. However, he is also an advocate of clean technology. “Cryptocurrency is a good idea in many ways, and we believe it has a promising future. But that can’t come with a huge loss to the environment,” Musk said. Bitcoin price movement in the last 7 days – Source: Trading View. According to blockchain analysis companies, Bitcoin could in theory be traceable, raising the possibility of “green” Bitcoins having a higher price tag. Stronger climate change policies by countries around the world can also help in this. However, some Bitcoin advocates say that the current financial system – with millions of employees and computers in air-conditioned offices – also uses an overwhelming amount of electricity.

Elon Musk Criticized For Suddenly Turning Against Bitcoin

Thảo Cao — Sun, 16 May 2021 02:39:10 +0000

Many billionaires and investors do not support Elon Musk’s sudden move towards Bitcoin. Some criticized the Tesla boss for being ‘callous’ and ‘playing with people’s pockets’.
On May 12, Elon Musk – the world’s second-richest billionaire – announced that electric car company Tesla will stop accepting payments in Bitcoin. Musk admitted to being “concerned about the increased use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and trading”.

The announcement of the Tesla boss immediately pulled the price of Bitcoin down to $ 46,000 / dong. Minutes later, billionaire investor Mark Cuban – owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks – tweeted: “We know that it helps the environment (Bitcoin) replace gold as a store of value. school”. According to the data of Coin Desk , as of May 14 (Vietnam time), Bitcoin has not been able to regain the $50,000 mark per dong. However, the Winklevoss twin billionaire brothers remain optimistic. Mr. Cameron Winklevoss said Musk will return to Bitcoin after realizing that cryptocurrency mining is “really driving the renewable energy industry.” His brother Tyler also encouraged investors to buy the bottom. On May 12, Elon Musk announced that electric car company Tesla will stop accepting payments in Bitcoin. “Selfish and Cruel” “It’s true that Bitcoin has an impact on the environment and that’s one of the controversial things. For environmentalists and scientists, there’s no doubt that Bitcoin uses a lot of energy,” the teacher said. Professor Layne Hartsell at the Asia Institute commented in an interview with Zing . “However, mining for Bitcoin – the asset considered ‘digital gold’ – is actually less impactful than mining for gold, one of the worst environmental disasters,” he added. In fact, just last month, Musk voiced his support for an article called “The Bitcoin Clean Energy Initiative” by Square Crypto. The article refutes the argument that the Bitcoin network causes serious environmental damage and destroys the planet. According to the article, Bitcoin mining will encourage increased use of renewable energy, replacing carbon-emitting fossil energy. Musk quickly shared the post on Twitter and commented: “Yes.” If Bitcoin is bad for the environment, we should ask Musk about the carbon emissions of SpaceX rockets – Oluwafisayo Williams According to the Bloomberg , Musk’s turn shocked many crypto fans. Nic Carter, an expert at Castle Investment Management, described his move as “very strange and confusing”. Mr. Oluwafisayo Williams, 32, a doctor in Sheffield (England), was even more harsh. Mr. Williams used the words “selfish and ruthless” to describe Musk’s heart. He started pouring money into cryptocurrencies at the beginning of the year. “If Bitcoin is bad for the environment, we should ask Musk about the carbon footprint of SpaceX rockets. I don’t think he has taken the time to research Bitcoin. Musk is using his power to gain control. market,” Mr. Williams criticized. On April 26, Tesla reported a record profit of $ 438 million in the first quarter. As usual, the profit was made by selling emissions limits. However, the company’s Bitcoin sale also contributed $101 million to the profit. According to the report, Tesla recorded $1.5 billion in “digital asset” purchases and $272 million in digital asset sales in the first quarter. The firm said Bitcoin sales contributed up to 101 million USD. As such, the company promptly sold some Bitcoin and made a profit of 101 million USD when the Bitcoin price skyrocketed. “Playing with investors’ pockets” Musk is not completely turning away from cryptocurrencies. In his announcement to stop accepting Bitcoin payments, he admitted that cryptocurrency is still a good idea. Musk is also looking at other coins that use less energy. Dr. Williams in the UK does not care about Musk’s views and insists he is still optimistic. Some people working in the crypto space also think the issue is overblown. According to them, the drop is the right time to buy. “The sell-off could help Bitcoin price reach new record highs,” said David Grider of Fundstrat Global Advisors LLC. Meanwhile, crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz still encourages investors to buy Bitcoin. He thinks Musk is just trying to use his influence to make cryptocurrency mining “greener”. Bitcoin price plummeted after the announcement of billionaire Elon Musk on May 12. Meanwhile, Mr. Dave Portnoy – founder of Brash Barstool Sports – is not satisfied with Musk’s move. According to Mr. Portnoy, when a billionaire changes his stance too quickly, he is playing with people’s futures and pockets. Aaron Smith, 29, a trader based in Essex (UK), has moved most of his portfolio to cryptocurrencies. He thinks that the Tesla boss needs to learn more about cryptocurrencies. Mr. Smith remains bullish on cryptocurrencies and considers Musk’s backing as shocking news. “Billionaires influence all markets, not just the crypto market,” he commented. “But people feel the influence in the crypto market more clearly because of the smaller cap,” he added.

Every year, Bitcoin mining uses as much electricity as the whole country of Argentina, according to estimates by Cambridge University. China accounts for 65% of global Bitcoin mining. That carbon footprint goes against Musk’s advocacy of clean energy. But he did not give up Bitcoin. In a tweet posted on May 12, he said that Tesla will not sell any Bitcoin and that Tesla intends to keep this currency to use for transactions “when Bitcoin mining becomes more environmentally friendly”. Musk also said that Tesla is looking for low-energy digital currencies.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge (UK) believe that the total energy consumption of bitcoin mining in 2021 could reach 128 billion kWhm, accounting for 0.6% of the world’s total electricity production and high than electricity usage in Norway.
