Bai Lei

Creator, creates all things;

Things are all-encompassing.

Throughout the ages, the objects created with both hands have carried the creator’s mind, such as painting, embroidery, etc., especially ceramics. In this long river of time, potters use their hands to blend the soil and water, concentrating on their thoughts; after quenching by fire, they are dyed and colored to form ceramics.

Therefore cloud and ceramics are the most popular and pyrotechnic.

In ceramics, you can feel that the soil in different environments and times has its own temperament, and you can also see the life experience, thinking and understanding of different potters-every color, line, touch and texture, all carry it The flow of the potter.

Viewing Bai Lei’s pottery art, there are thoughts and techniques that have been passed down for thousands of years. One thing and one vessel, after being tainted by fire, presents the most simple coloring of the soil, which contains the record of time, history, and long past. It is like a kind of “fossil”, but it also has brilliance and annihilation, noise and silence, Development and passing, ancient continuation and future possibilities-the energy of an indescribable life is contained in it.

He feels the artifacts for a long time, runs in repeatedly with the materials, does not use too much force, does not deliberately pursue, and enjoys every simple and uncertain process. He breathes in and breathes in the soil, giving new life to the pottery.

“Some young people today have a high IQ but their EQ is low, their intelligence is immature and they are very susceptible to diseases,” said Mr. Nham Chinh Phi. Mr. Nham’s statement is only a part of the information that Reuters just posted, excerpted from an internal Huawei note. The document also shows that Huawei will focus on software instead of hardware as before. Nham Chinh Phi believes that today’s young people are emotionally weak and psychologically immature. Photo: Reuters. Specifically, Huawei will announce the new Harmony operating system for smartphones on June 2. This is considered an important step for Huawei to reduce damage to its smartphone industry. Huawei’s switch to Harmony operating system means that it will no longer depend on Android and the Google Mobile Services service pack. Since 2019, Google has stopped cooperating with the Chinese phone company, making Huawei from the position of the world’s second largest smartphone company, in the latest quarter, it only reached 4% of the market share, ranked 6th in the ranking of smartphone manufacturers. biggest. Internal documents also show that Nham Chinh Phi has called on employees to focus on developing the software segment, with the orientation that the company will be more autonomous and independent in the future to fight US sanctions. Sanctions by the US government have forced companies like Huawei to change their business strategies. Nham Chinh Phi’s statement is the clearest evidence that Huawei has been shifting its focus away from the mobile segment, which was once its mainstay. Huawei will focus on software because this area is outside the US domination. Not only software, Huawei will focus more on the smart car segment, which is being led by US brands like Tesla.

According to Mr. Nham, the software department needs to find a suitable business direction to be able to compete in the market. He advises employees to get “nutrients” from open technology communities and apply it right to the company’s conditions. In addition to software, Huawei’s rotating CEO, Eric Xu, also announced in April that the company will invest more than 1 billion USD in the smart car segment, and is expanding cooperation with Changan, a car manufacturer belonging to Huawei. state-owned, to develop automated semiconductors and designs.

Uoy Home is a house conceptualized, developed by architect To Huu Dung and 85 Design. The work has a special design, inspired by spacecraft across space – time. Located in the Central region, where the climate is hot, the western frontage also makes the house directly suffer from harmful sunlight. To solve this problem, the group of architects applied 3 solutions to limit heat radiation. One is treating with natural solutions, using trees for wall and roof gardening. Trees are decorated right from the front of the house. The second solution is technology, using XPS heat-resistant panels 3cm thick to cover outside walls subject to the main sun direction, preventing heat absorption. The third solution is to create wind convection by opening many doors to the East and South to catch cool winds. Thanks to that, even though it is a western house, the space inside is always cool. The first floor is a common living space including living room, kitchen – dining. Open space feels seamless with a garden. The glass roof in the kitchen area is capable of removing most of the UV rays and minimizing the heat impact on the interior space. The second floor consists of 2 bedrooms, a large bedroom for parents and a small bedroom for a son. The corridor leading to a private space on the 2nd floor has a glass railing made of tempered glass. Skylights are fitted with portable curtains to shade the sun. The roof floor spends most of the area planted with grass. This is also a place where families have fun together when they cannot go far.

Illustration When deciding to build, buy, sell, or rent houses, workplaces, offices, shops … the most important requirement is to paint and orient the house in accordance with the homeowner’s age. Below we introduce the method of determining the direction of the house in accordance with the homeowner’s age of Bat Trach Feng Shui. The feng shui of the homeowner is divided into 8 sectors corresponding to 8 directions, in which the age of the person corresponding to the 4 sectors in the north, south, east and southeast directions is called east quartet; The age of the person corresponding to the 4 sectors of the northwest, northeast, southwest and west directions is called west quartet. Similarly, houses in the north, south, east, and southeast directions are called east quartet; The houses in the northwest, northeast, southwest and main west directions are called west quarter trach. The people of the four destiny of the four destitute houses the east of the quartet, the western people from the four destiny of the western quarter Feng shui sutras say that “destiny and mutuality” are peaceful and prosperous. otherwise, it will decline in all aspects. Basing on each person’s year of birth and gender to t feng shui destiny follow the formula below : The host is male: Subtract the last two numbers of the year of birth from 100, divide the difference by 9, the remainder of the division is the fate of feng shui. Example: Male was born in 1972, the fate of Feng Shui is as follows: 100 – 72 = 28 28 ÷ 9 = 3 remainder 1. Number 1 is the number of the feng shui bow of the male born in 1972, ie the mosaic, the water, the north (also use the bow name to call the male feng-shui destiny of 1972 as the mosaic). The host is female: Subtract 4 from the last two numbers of the year of birth, divide the difference by 9, the remainder of the division is the fate of feng shui. Example: Female born in 1972, the fate of Feng Shui is as follows: 72 – 4 = 68 68 ÷ 9 = 7 remainder 5. Number 5 is the number of the feng-shui bow of the female student in 1972, ie the palace, the territory, the northeast direction (also using the bow name to call the feng-shui of the female student in 1972 as destiny). Note: In the above calculation, when the remainder of the division is 5, the male feng-shui palace belongs to the palace, the woman belongs to the palace. If divisible, take the number 9 as the number of feng shui signs of that age, regardless of male or female. The numbers of the 8 sectors are as follows: Number 1 is the mosaic, water, north. Number 2 is the palace of wisdom, in the territory, in the southwest direction. Number 3 is the archery, carpentry, east. Number 4 is the palace, carpentry, southeast direction. Number 6 is the arc of the metal, the northwest direction. Number 7 is the mango bow, metal, west. Number 8 is the archery, the territory, the northeast direction. Number 9 is the bow, the fire belongs to the south. Thus, after calculating by age, the numbers 1, 3, 4 or 9 belong to the four destiny; who are the numbers 2, 7, 6 or 8 of the western quadrant. Knowing which palace feng shui is an important basis for determining the appropriate home orientation. However, because the five elements, the yin and yang of the stars of the arc (direction) and the five elements of the different arcs, there are cases where the western quartet does not match with the western quartet or the east four elements do not match with the east tetrahedra. To avoid unfortunate confusion due to complicated calculation method, below we summarize and introduce the direction of each specific feng shui. Readers only need to calculate their feng shui destiny to be able to choose the right direction: The destitute (number 6) matches the directions: need, need, and need. People with mosaic (number 1) match the directions: diamond, mosaic. The destiny person (number 8) is in the following directions: Doai, Can. The destiny person (number 3) matches the directions: Ly, seismic. The destitute (number 4) matches the directions: mosaic, glass and expense. The destitute (number 9) is in the directions: Chan, ly. The destiny of wisdom (number 2) is in the following directions: Can, mango. The destitute (number 7) matches the directions: Can, smart and mango. Note, this method is also used to calculate, choose the direction of the desk, the direction of feng shui or the age of the partner in real daily life./.

Therefore, before the New Year’s departure, many people see the book, or ask a feng-shui expert to go in any direction, and choose what time. Feng shui expert Linh Quang said that at the beginning of the year of Tan Suu 2021, on the first day of the New Year, families who want to pray for fortune should go south, want to pray for joy, luck should go to the southwest. In the case that the 1st and 3rd day of the Lunar New Year cannot be departed, both the 2nd and 3rd day of the New Year will be the zodiac day.

Both the “social division of labor theory” and the “big brother” construction theory are in the past. In modern society, what is needed is a combination of liberal arts and sciences, and integrated talents who can comprehensively use all aspects of knowledge.

Rather than indulging in the unrealistic disputes over the arts and sciences, it is better to think about whether our current education has cultivated children’s ability to face modern issues. The comprehensive educational significance of the liberal arts and sciences is to help students build a variety of frameworks for viewing problems, consider the rationality of solutions from different perspectives, weigh the pros and cons of all parties, and assume their responsibilities.

Recently, the official WeChat account of the central bank published a working paper entitled “Awareness of my country’s Population Transition and Countermeasures”. The paper was written by four PhDs in economics. One of the reasons for the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students”, causing an uproar.

This view has caused many netizens to discuss the pros and cons of liberal arts students in personal job promotion, social and economic development, and so on. Liberal arts students have a long history of despising each other. There is a saying in “Siege” that “science students look down on liberal arts students”. Under the background of pursuing the development and revitalization of science and technology, science students often occupy a certain high ground, but the right to speak is usually in the hands of liberal arts students. The two sides are divided into camps, you come and I go, arguing against each other. However, are things really so clear-cut?

Not to mention that the economics studied by the four Ph.Ds is regarded as liberal arts in the current discipline classification of most universities. If their aforementioned views are valid, does it mean that the four PhDs in economics themselves are “superfluous”? Just from the current situation and trend of education reform, how do researchers accurately define liberal arts students and science students? Dividing talents into liberal arts students and science students, and judging whether talents are beneficial to national development based on their disciplinary background is worthy of reflection.

▌The current education trend is that the arts and sciences are not divided into subjects

The division of liberal arts and sciences is an education system implemented in some countries and regions. The teaching courses are divided into liberal arts and sciences, allowing students to choose and conduct separate education. In the context of Chinese or the Chinese character cultural circle, the liberal arts (or the full name of humanities and social sciences) refers to the subjects of politics, economics, culture and other related knowledge related to human thoughts; while the sciences are actually “science and engineering” The abbreviation is biased towards natural sciences and technology, where science includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other natural science subjects. The engineering disciplines include engineering disciplines such as machinery, civil engineering, and architecture. Although it is a collective term, there is a difference between science and engineering. The science subjects focus on theoretical research, and the engineering subjects focus on practical operations. Or in other words, “science trains scientists, engineering trains engineers.”

The sub-discipline of liberal arts and science is a historical product. Lu Xiaodong, the deputy dean of Yuanpei College of Peking University, pointed out: “The ideological foundation of the sub-discipline of liberal arts is Adam Smith’s theory of social division of labor. , It can improve the efficiency of the whole society. The direct reason for the implementation of liberal arts and sciences after the founding of the People’s Republic of China is that the new China fully imitated the era of the former Soviet Union’s “big brother”—the college entrance examination system and the higher education system are also inevitable.”

More than two hundred years have passed since the publication of the book “The Wealth of Nations”, which put forward the “Social Division of Labor Theory”. With the maturity of modern pedagogy, the development concept of putting people first rather than treating people as tools is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the division of arts and sciences has been more and more questioned. The current education system has begun to reform such divisions, such as in the college entrance examination. Cancel the traditional distinction between liberal arts and science.

With the expansion of the pilot reform of the college entrance examination, Shanghai and Zhejiang have no distinction between liberal arts and sciences since 2017; Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, and Hainan have no distinction between liberal arts and sciences since 2020; Fujian, Hubei, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan, Hebei, Liaoning, Chongqing Starting from 2021, the reform will break the limitations of simple division of liberal arts and sciences, and give students more autonomy in subjects through the “3+1+2” model. It can be said that the direction of the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination is to abolish the restrictions on the traditional arts and sciences, encourage students to explore personalized learning paths, and cultivate more comprehensive talents.

As far as the IB International Baccalaureate Organization course I teach, the academic training at the high school level also does not simply distinguish the characteristics of students’ liberal arts and sciences, but requires students to choose six specific courses from six subject groups for research. The subject groups are language and literature (mother tongue), language acquisition (second language/foreign language), individual and society (such as history, economics, philosophy, etc.), science (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.), mathematics, and art. Taking into account the characteristics of different individuals, students can choose an additional course in the first five subject groups to replace the art course.

This kind of curriculum is similar to the elective mode of American College of Arts and Sciences, aiming to cultivate students’ comprehensive ability. In order to open up students’ understanding and knowledge of different disciplines, TOK Theory of Knowledge will guide students to reflect on the nature of knowledge and explore how humans obtain knowledge that we take for granted (how we know what we claim to know).

In fact, before the division of liberal arts and sciences in middle schools, many majors were already integrated in liberal arts and sciences when enrolling students, such as journalism, economics and law (where the four Ph.Ds are located) and so on. For some traditional liberal arts majors, practitioners have realized the significance of interdisciplinary research and study for the cultivation of compound talents.

Taking the School of Journalism of Fudan University as an example, the “2+2 undergraduate teaching and training reform” implemented in 2018 allows undergraduates to rely on eight majors including computer information technology for wide-caliber training in the first two years, and enter the training of journalism and communication in the next two years. , So as to better adapt to the needs of the current development of the news dissemination industry. It is conceivable that a news talent who is good at new media technology and data analysis cannot be simply defined as a “liberal arts student”. Economics requires not only the use of a large number of mathematical tools for data analysis, but also a series of traditional “liberal arts” content such as consumer preferences, macro planning, and information feedback. Not to mention the current minor and dual degree policies provided by the university, allowing students to cross the boundaries of liberal arts and sciences and learn what interests them outside of their majors.

▲ “Two Cultures” is the first part of an influential speech delivered by British scientist and novelist CP Snow in 1959. In the same year, it was published as “Two Cultures and Scientific Revolutions” in book form. The main argument in the book is that science and humanities, which represent “the intellectual life of the entire Western society,” have been divided into “two cultures”, and this division is the main obstacle to solving world problems.

▌Art and science sub-subjects do not meet the needs of realistic problem-solving

Under the modern background of diversified demand for talents and encouragement of individualized development and training of students, the simple division of students into liberal arts students and science students, and even the judgment that “the liberal arts students misunderstood the country” has already ignored the context of the times. As mentioned earlier, both the “social division of labor theory” and the “big brother” construction theory are in the past. In modern society, what is needed is a combination of liberal arts and sciences, and integrated talents who can comprehensively use all aspects of knowledge.

The current world is facing unprecedented changes, especially when the shadow of the new crown pneumonia epidemic still looms over the world. The work and lifestyle of billions of people have changed, and the global economic recovery is still full of uncertainties. Problems such as medical support, drug R&D and distribution, accurate transmission of information, the impact of the epidemic on the economy and the intensification of the gap between rich and poor in society, racial conflicts and even conflicts caused by the reduction of living space are not a single traditional liberal arts or science knowledge that can be easily resolved. of.

Take the recent vaccination issue as an example. The development and experimental production of medical vaccines are based on scientific knowledge, and the promotion and management and distribution rely on language and social science methods. Individuals’ fear and rejection of vaccines cannot be resolved automatically by the experimental data of vaccines, and they need to be communicated and persuaded through empathy cultivated in the humanities.

Similarly, the progress of global epidemic prevention cannot be automatically succeeded only through the sales of pharmaceutical companies’ products, but also through coordination within the country and mutual assistance and cooperation between countries to ensure the fair distribution of vaccines. It can be seen that in solving problems, the social humanities and the science and engineering experimental disciplines are not originally opposed or the relationship between two alternatives, but to cooperate to achieve their goals.

▌What kind of people and abilities should be cultivated by education?

Rather than indulging in the unrealistic disputes over the arts and sciences, it is better to think about whether our current education has cultivated children’s ability to face modern issues.

In the current era of high-speed information, when the boundaries of knowledge continue to expand, global challenges are everywhere. In education, it is better to cultivate students’ “meta” ability to analyze problems, solve problems, and express effectively than masters of liberal arts and sciences. Specific knowledge is more important.

When children are studying science subjects, the teacher no longer keeps an eye on test scores, repeats exercises, and strengthens the application of formulas in different exercises, but allows students to train their thinking methods on the basis of knowledge and guide them to face For complex problems, transfer the experimental methods you have experienced in scientific learning, such as variable control and observation, and refine seemingly indissoluble complex problems into manageable modules, so as to think one by one and break each one. Maybe this is the case. The meaning of science learning.

Students can and must experience scientific experiments in person to truly appreciate the simple and orderly scientific process: observing phenomena, asking questions, setting hypotheses, testing hypotheses, and sharing results. Learn what is evidence-based, scientific thinking and logic. In the cycle, human cognition is constantly updated.

However, in the process from analyzing problems to solving problems, especially when making decisions, the data and facts contained in scientific discussions should not be the only yardstick. Even the efficiency of input and output in economics is not the entire decision. According to the basis, it is also necessary to take into account the ethics and humanistic care cultivated by the liberal arts.

Taking the discharge of nuclear waste water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea as an example, the report submitted by TEPCO to the World Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) included deep underground pumping, mortar solidification treatment and then burial, electrolysis, evaporative release, The cost of these five plans for discharging into the sea ranges from tens of billions of yen to hundreds of billions of yen. In contrast, discharging the sea only requires a few billion yen. If we do not learn from the historical nuclear accidents of the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, and do not consider the safety of marine life and the human rights of citizens, and only make this choice from the perspective of price, it will inevitably bring about possible nuclear pollution and certain international tensions. More far-reaching issues. The comprehensive educational significance of the liberal arts and sciences is to help students build a variety of frameworks for viewing problems, consider the rationality of solutions from different perspectives, weigh the pros and cons of all parties, and assume their responsibilities.

Some people may say that thinking about issues forward and backward will lead to hesitation, indecision, delay in making decisions, and missed opportunities for action. But this is exactly what scientific disciplines can strengthen the balance. It can help people make decisions when information is uncertain. New scientific theories always require new experimental designs for continuous testing, and creating new experiments can often activate original cognition, improve theoretical connotations, and extend more experiments in the future to help us understand current problems.

Science is precisely the process of setting models, making decisions, and constantly improving on the basis of inadequate information. Just like the choice when life is at a fork in the road, no one can fully grasp the information, but if the individual can master the analysis and action, reflect on the improvement Ability, face every choice with a positive attitude, so you don’t have to worry about one step wrong or wrong step. This is scientific literacy and scientific mentality.

In addition to individual choices, important decisions of companies, society, and the country often require collective decisions. At the same time, many decisions involve multiple interests, and any decision must have its beneficiaries, losers, and cost payers. Then, how to weigh the interests of all parties and how to persuade different people to compromise with each other to achieve the greatest common divisor. It will inevitably test the individual communication and expression skills cultivated by the humanities, the empathy and coordination of the interests of all parties.

We often agree that the training basis of the former lies in the reading and writing of language and literature subjects. Through studying various writing methods and content, students explore their expression effects, thereby improving their accurate expression level. The latter needs to broaden one’s horizons and perspectives and achieve diversity and tolerance through reading in history, politics, and literature.

However, we ignore that the quantitative thinking and argumentation methods that scientific disciplines value can also help to improve the individual’s ability to communicate and persuade: how to use quantitative data to analyze and persuade others to accept their opinions? How to distinguish the validity of the argument and avoid selective data use or imperfect logical chain? How to explain the benefits and costs of all parties reflected in the data? If researchers can develop such abilities in the process of receiving liberal arts education, they will not easily come to the conclusion that “one of the reasons Southeast Asian countries fall into the middle-income trap is that there are too many liberal arts students”.

Recently, Apple’s vice president of global marketing Greg Joswiak and senior vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus accepted an interview with The Independent. The two executives revealed a lot of information about the company’s future development direction and product planning.

Regarding speculation about the integration of the iPad and Mac product lines, Joswiak responded, At present, Apple does not have the idea of ​​merging the two product lines, they are just trying to make the two products the best products in their respective categories, and will not fall into the “merger” discussion.

When asked why the new iPad Pro uses the M1 chip instead of the A series chip, Ternus said: “ We have been using the best chip for the iPad Pro, and now the best Apple chip is the M1 chip. “The two also discussed the behind-the-scenes story of the new screen for ‌iPad Pro‌.

This is by far the best iPad screen, comparable to Pro Display XDR. The manufacturing team has spent a lot of effort to reduce the thickness of the mini-LED screen, which is a difficult task for Apple. This is by far the best iPad screen, comparable to Pro Display XDR. The manufacturing team has spent a lot of effort to reduce the thickness of the mini-LED screen, which is a difficult task for Apple. In fact, as early as the 2018 WWDC conference, Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, explained at the meeting that Apple will not integrate the two product lines. If you consider it from a business perspective, Apple certainly hopes that users can buy iPhone, iPad and Mac at the same time. If there is a competitive relationship between the iPad and the Mac series in product positioning, then users can only buy one device to meet all their needs, which is obviously not in Apple’s commercial interests.

Although Apple has made it clear that it will not merge, Xiao Lei believes that the powerful performance of the iPad Pro will make it more like a “computer” in the future. This year’s new iPad Pro uses up to 16G of running memory and 2T of hard drive. The greater performance of the iPad will definitely drive developers to launch more productive software, and people can use it to complete more daily tasks in the future.

The iPad Pro with a more powerful configuration has also made its product prices higher and higher. Today, the price of the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is as low as RMB 8,499 and as high as RMB 18,499. In contrast, the lowest price of the MacBook Air is only 7,999 yuan, and the lowest price of the new 24-inch iMac is 9,999 yuan.

For ordinary consumers, the current so high price of the iPad Pro makes it difficult to start. Many people might think why not choose a computer since it’s all at this price? Apple officially said that the iPad Pro will not be merged with the MacBook, but the iPad Pro seems to have “merged” with the price of the computer.

Patient COVID-19 is being treated at a hospital in Bry-Sur-Marne, France, on April 15, 2021. Photo: AFP / VNA Prime Minister Castex confirmed there is evidence that contagion in the past 10 days has tended to decrease. Castex also announced that measures to restrict people from leaving the area within a 10-kilometer radius around the house will be removed from May 3. France is implementing a third blockade to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but this prevention measure is considered to be more relaxed than the previous two times. During the 3rd blockade, outdoor activities are still encouraged to improve the mental health of residents. Most of the non-essential stores, cafes, restaurants, and cultural venues are closed. In a new statement, Mr. Castex said that shops, certain cultural and sporting activities and cafes could be reopened from mid-May, depending on the disease situation in Vietnam. at that moment. The French Prime Minister also emphasized that the government will allow regional openings, starting with regions with low COVID-19 prevalence. National curfew from 7:00 p.m. daily remains in place until further notice. Mr. Castex noted this measure will be reevaluated in mid-May but the government has not put in place a firm schedule for easing. To date, France has recorded a total of more than 5.4 million cases of COVID-19, of which 102,164 died. Over the past few days, the number of COVID-19 cases requiring special treatment has been contained below 6,000. After a slow start, the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in France is accelerating, with more than 13 million people getting at least the first shot. From April 24, French people aged 55 and over will be vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine from the American pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson. This is the fourth COVID-19 vaccine to be licensed in France, after the products of Pfizer / BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca. Meanwhile, to prevent the emergence of new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the French Ministry of the Interior decided that all passengers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India and South Africa would have to undergo quarantine. At the accommodation for 10 days, under the supervision of French police. Currently, health officials in all countries are encouraging the implementation of measures to be alert for the types of viruses with faster spread rates. Also on April 22, Belgian health officials announced the presence of the virus variant in India in this country. Specifically, the new variant was discovered in 20 nursing students from Paris (France) to Belgium in mid-April. The group with a total of 43 students was quarantined upon entry. Experts say the group was infected from a super infectious patient, possibly a member of the group, or from another passenger also on the trip from France to Belgium. A variant of the virus detected in India called B.1.617 has also appeared in several other countries such as the US, Australia, Israel and Singapore. Concerned about this variant, some countries, including the UK, applied a restriction on travel with India.

The program identifies the goals of rapid and sustainable development of the Capital towards a green city, a smart and modern city; ensure the harmonious link between urban and rural areas. Notably, the program sets out the task of developing the urban economy, developing Hanoi into a major trade and economic center of the region and Asia. Build modern and synchronous infrastructure Program No. 03-CTr / TU on “Urban embellishment, urban development and urban economy of Hanoi in the period of 2021 – 2025” is built on the basis of inheritance and promotion of achieved results. Program No. 06-CTr / TU on “Synchronous development, gradual modernization of urban infrastructure, strengthening management of construction order, land, environment, building a civilized city, modernization period 2016 – 2020 ”. Noting the results achieved in the period 2016 – 2020, but the city also admits some limitations such as the low urbanization rate, the uneven urban development and the potential; the uniformity of the urban infrastructure system is not high; The renovation and reconstruction of the old apartment building still has many problems … This is the basis for the Hanoi City Party Committee to offer solutions and tasks to make breakthroughs in urban construction and development. the period of 2021 – 2025. The program aims to quickly and sustainably develop the Capital towards a green, smart and modern city; ensure the harmonious link between urban and rural areas; to raise the quality and efficiency of urban embellishment, development and modernization in association with the sustainable development of the urban economy; to build typical works, architectural and landscape architectural spaces with the characteristics of the Capital.

According to Director of the Department of Transport of Hanoi Vu Van Vien, recently, the Department has proposed a list of important traffic works that need priority in the period of 2021 – 2025. In which, there are six urban railway projects. Marketing; five ring roads; nine big bridges crossing the Red and Duong rivers; five highway improvement projects connecting the capital with neighboring provinces. If implemented on schedule, the traffic situation in Hanoi will see many positive changes in the coming time. Ba Dinh, Hoan Kiem, Hai Ba Trung and Dong Da districts focus on the task of implementing six urban planning projects; towards the relaxation of the population, building more public works, renovating the old apartment building, focusing on building architectural planning management regulations; organizing the urban design of new open roads and some important roads … For district blocks, especially districts preparing to go to the district, they will promote the planning and construction of infrastructure to shape a modern city in the future.

Super typhoon Surigae shot from Japanese satellite Himawari 8 at 8am on April 18. The strongest wind of a super typhoon reaches level 17 (200-220 km / h), jerking above level 17. Himawari 8 satellite recorded super typhoon activity in the last 4 hours. Himawari 8 is a Geostatic Weather Satellite (single-position fixed observation) operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). This satellite, built by Mitsubishi Electric with the assistance of Boeing, was launched into orbit on October 7, 2014 with a cost of manufacturing about 800 million USD.
