From April to now, Alpha has become the dominant strain in the US. Alpha’s superiority made scientists wonder why this virus strain spread so quickly. Recently, a study published online on June 7 was New York Times The quote has found the “secret of success” of this mutation: Alpha disables the first immune “stronghold” gland in the human body, giving the virus more time to multiply when it enters the body. up quickly. The Alpha mutation once made the UK crippled. Photo: Reuters. “Turn off the bell” alert Alpha has a total of 23 mutations – what sets it apart from other coronavirus strains. When this strain began to spread widely in the UK, researchers began examining the genetic sequence to look for an explanation of why it spread faster than other strains. Many researchers focused on nine mutations that change the proteins that coat the coronavirus and allow them to enter cells. One of those mutations helps the virus bind more closely to these cells, increasing the likelihood of successful infection. But other scientists focus on how Alpha affects the human immune response. Virologist Gregory Towers and colleagues at University College London cultured the coronavirus in human lung cells. They compared cells infected with Alpha with those infected with previous variants of the coronavirus. The team found that alpha-containing lung cells produced less interferon. Interferon is a protein produced naturally by cells in the immune system. They also found that in cells with Alpha, defense genes activated by interferon were less effective than in cells infected with other strains. Somehow, the most important “alarm bell” of the immune system barely “sounds” in the presence of the Alpha variant. “It becomes almost invisible (when it enters the human body),” Dr. Towers said. The UK has to impose strict restrictions because the strain B.1.1.7 spreads quickly. Photo: LBC. To find out how Alpha achieves this “invisibility,” the researchers looked at how the coronavirus replicates inside infected cells. They found that Alpha-infected cells made a lot of extra copies – about 80 times more than other variants – of a gene called Orf9b. According to previous research by molecular biologist Nevan Krogan and colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, Orf9b makes a viral protein that attacks Tom70 — a protein needed to release interferon when the virus enters the body. body. From all of these studies, Dr. Krogan concluded that the Alpha variant contained a mutation that produced more Orf9b protein than normal. The Orf9b protein surrounds the Tom70 protein, reducing interferon production. The infected virus is no longer hindered by the immune system, so it rapidly multiplies in the human body. About 12 hours after infection, the immune system starts working again. Therefore, Dr. Towers speculates, people infected with Alpha have a stronger response than those infected with other strains. The virus-laden mucus lingers in both their oral and nasal cavities, making Alpha more contagious than ever. However, Dr. Laurent-Rolle insists more evidence is needed to support this conclusion. For example, scientists have not yet run a standard test to test the amount of the Orf9b protein. Dr. Krogan said he and his colleagues are looking to practice that experiment now. Totally different Dr. Krogan’s group also started similar tests on other strains, including the strain first identified in South Africa, called Beta (B.1.351) and the first identified strain. first in India, called Delta (B.1.617.2). The preliminary results surprised them. Both Beta and Delta reduce interferon in infected cells. But there is no indication that these two strains did so in the same way that Alpha did. Each strain evolved in a different way to control the immune system. Virus mutant particles B.1.1.7 from patient samples in the laboratory. Photo: NIAID. Cecile King, an immunologist at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, stressed that understanding how the virus evades the immune system will help in the development of a Covid-19 vaccine. Vaccines now help the immune system recognize mutated proteins. But research on patients recovering from Covid-19 shows that their immune systems learn to recognize viral proteins, including Orf9b. Some researchers are looking to include the coronavirus protein in a new vaccine. But this process needs care because some proteins reduce immunity. “It’s a pretty complicated process. But if we take a closer look, it might be possible,” Dr. King said.

Mapogo lion union has raised the brutality of lions to a new level when they have actions involving cannibalism, murder and are believed to be the culprits that have killed more than 100 male lions. other died. The Lions Union is said to be named after a South African security company, Mapogo A Mathamaga Security. No longer active, Mapogo A Mathamaga is known for its intense and often brutal forms of crime handling. The Mapogo Lions Union is a pack of six male lions that dominate the Sabi Sands area, and they have shown unprecedented levels of brutality and violence among lions. The union of six male lions first appeared in March 2006, when they claimed their own territory by force. Normally, when lions come to a new area, they will be very quiet, but the Mapogo alliance is completely different, they move, expand their territory and dominate with great power in a loud roar. , they will kill any male lions around to fight for territory. The members of this lion union include: Makhulu, born in 1998 and also the oldest member of the Mapogo lion union, Makhulu is the only male not from the same bloodline as the other members to join the alliance. smart. The second member – Pretty Boy, it is so named because this is a lion that possesses a lot of strategy when fighting, so it is the member with the least scars in the Mapogo alliance. The third member – Mr T (Satan), this is a lion known for his extreme brutality, it is named after the classic Mohawk hairstyle similar to the character Mr. T in The A-Team. Notably, this lion also received the nickname “satan” after killing his own brother’s cubs. The fourth member – Skew Spine, is literally named because of the distinctive scar on his spine and left hip. Fifth member – Dreadlocks, this is a lion that has something on its mane that makes its fur sticky. The sixth and final member is named Kinky Tail because of its unusual tail. These six male lions are descended from Spartan/Eyrefield Field Pride lions, bred by West street males. Makulu, the oldest member, and also the only lion from a different bloodline, while the rest of the members are brothers. During their rule, the Mapogo confederacy wiped out countless other males. Together, they killed more than 100 male lions and pose a threat to herds of such male lions, including females and cubs. These sadists take over the entire territory of the surrounding males with unprecedented aggression, and males that dare to challenge and enter their territory will often receive a bitter end – being eaten. meat . This alliance of six male lions changed the entire ecosystem in the Sabi Sands area, dominating and controlling an area once ruled by eight other individual lions. The behavior of lions Lions are the only feline animals that live in groups, each pack usually includes two to 40 lions, in large groups there will be about three or four males, about a dozen females and cubs. of them. All lionesses in a pack are usually related by blood, they will often stay in their herd after adulthood. On the other hand, the males will be driven away when they are 2 – 3 years old to build their own new herd. The males will generally take on the role of defending the territory of the herd. While lionesses are predators, they will work together to both capture prey and feed their cubs. This is the usual way of forming a pack of lions, however, occasionally there will be groups of only male lions, which are called alliances. What is lion union? A lion union is usually a group of two or more male lions (sometimes up to seven) that join together. These male lion alliances are usually made up of half brothers or cousins, and they often grew up together in the same original pack. Even so, it’s not uncommon for unrelated male lions to join an alliance. The main reason for lions to form alliances is to protect each other. When they are removed from the original pack, each day that goes by for them is a struggle to survive because they face many difficulties while trying to hunt while trying to defend themselves against strong male lions. stronger. This is why male lions removed from the original pack at the same time form strong bonds that are strengthened by their common struggle. By bonding with each other, they will have a higher chance of survival. However, as they become stronger, their focus will shift from survival to gaining territory. More members in their alliance will mean giving them a better chance of winning fights with other males. Benefits of a large male lion union include: They are capable of driving out single male lions, or even smaller alliances, that take over territory at a much younger age than if they were alone. Lions become more successful in hunting, an important aspect of survival after being driven out of the original herd. A larger union would likely dominate a larger territory and give them access to more female lions to mate with. Larger alliances will often hold territory and mating rights longer than regular packs because their “empire” is harder to topple. This also results in a longer life span for males in a large union. Why is Mapogo lion alliance so unique? The Mapogo Lion Alliance is perhaps the most famous lion alliance in recent history. They became famous for their ruthless tactics and they also possessed the speed of conquering new territories extremely quickly. Mapogo lion alliances differ from normal alliances in that they will kill all lions they come across. The lions in the Mapogo alliance are also said to have taken down wild buffalo, adult giraffes, even rhinos and hippos. They not only kill the lions that cross their path, but also eat the ill-fated lions. The Mapogo Lion Alliance’s ability to control and defend such a vast expanse of land is unprecedented in the lion population – they have captured and ruled eight other lions. How did the Mapogo Lions Union break up? As with all lion alliances, they don’t last forever. Mapogo suffered the same fate. In 2010, the Majingilanes, an alliance of five adult male lions, entered Mapogo’s territory to challenge them. As a result, Kinky Tail was killed. Majingilanes took over their territories. Over the next three years, two other lions in the Mapogo pack disappeared without a trace. In 2012, the Southern lions challenged the remaining members of the Mapogos alliance, forcing them to retreat, and Mr T was chased and killed. Makhulu and Pretty Boy were the last two lions in the Mapogo alliance to survive the event. They were last seen together in Kruger National Park and buffalo hunting in October 2012. Makhulu was last seen in 2013, alone in Mala Mala. Mapogo has had a huge impact on the Sabi Sand ecosystem because of the demise of lion populations. Examples include groups such as: Castleton Pride: originally from 22 members down to 6; Tsalala Pride: originally 10 down to 5; Ximunvanyane Pride: original 10 down to 0; Elephant Plains suffered a 40% reduction in membership. This means that the Mapogo alliance has killed about 40 – 50 lions in the neighboring areas. According to Willem Botha, Head of Anti-Poaching in Sabi Sands during Mapogo’s rule: “From the first time I saw them until I left Sabi Sands, Mapogo killed between 90 and 110 other lions. In the park”.

According to the Techradar TV sales in the first quarter increased by 9.9% year-on-year (46.6 million units), bringing revenue up from $20.63 billion to $27.39 billion. Sales of high-end TVs played a big part in this growth. LG’s OLED TV shipments doubled year-on-year. By the end of the first quarter, the company has sold a total of 7.2 million TVs, including OLED and LCD. Compared to the same period last year, growth reached 15%. Meanwhile, the demand to buy Samsung Neo QLED TVs has also increased. The company sold a total of 11.6 million TVs in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 11.1%. Samsung holds 46.5% market share of 75-inch TVs or ultra-wide screens. Besides, the Korean giant occupies 52.4% of the 80+ inch TV market. Samsung is leading the global TV market share. In Vietnam, according to the latest report of research firm GfK, by the end of the third quarter of 2020, the three leading brands in market share are Sony, Samsung and LG. In which, Samsung accounted for the largest share, up to 44.7%. However, while Samsung and LG continuously increased 1-5% market share year over year from 2018, Sony’s “piece of cake” gradually got smaller, from 32.6% in 2018 to 25.9% in end of September 2020. In April, Sony launched the brand new BRAVIA XR series of TVs, packed with technology and announced a focus on the premium TV group. Share with Zing Satoru Arai, the new CEO of Sony Vietnam, said the world’s first “cognitive intelligence” technology that Sony owns will be the focus of the new business strategy. Instead of just searching and analyzing image elements such as color, contrast and details individually like conventional AI, the new Sony TV processor can cross-analyze several hundred thousand elements. at the same time similar to how the human brain works. Meanwhile, rival Samsung also launched a new series of TVs including Neo QLED, Micro LED TV and Lifestyle TV series. According to Samsung, the Neo QLED series will feature Backlight Dimming as the main technology, which helps to precisely control Quantum Mini LED lights 40 times smaller than conventional lights, helping the TV control light and picture quality. better photos. In addition, the Neo Quantum 8K processor uses data generated from 16 artificial neural networks, which can upscale normal images to near 8K standards. Samsung’s new Micro LED TV line also has many technological improvements and a better price than before.

In its ups and downs, Internet Explorer was once the dominant browser in the world, accounting for 95% of the global market share, causing an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft in the early 2000s. Now, Internet Explorer is at the end of its journey. Users around the world, including Vietnamese, have come together to share funny and touching photos that recall an unforgettable time about this world’s most popular browser. The superpower of Internet Explorer is that it comes pre-installed on every Windows computer, thanks to the monopoly of the father of Microsoft. Internet Explorer used to make users obsessed with dozens of toolbars arbitrarily inserted into this browser. To this day, Internet Explorer is still quite popular in Japan. Even the god of death can’t drag Internet Explorer away, because this browser often ‘freezes’ when loading heavy pages. Internet Explorer and Microsoft have since split in two, taking the metaphorical image in Fast & Furious 7 when the producer of this film was forced to part with actor Paul Walker because he died in a car accident. Internet Explorer is also the inspiration for the famous webtoon of the same name that is still being created. During a long time when Internet Explorer was exclusive to the Windows operating system, users often used this browser to download other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox or Opera. Internet Explorer makes users obsessed with slowness and many holes that make even the monsters of the Pixar family scared. The classic Internet Explorer error message window: you have been crashed. Surfing the web with Internet Explorer has never been easy when it’s difficult to fully load a web page. Phuong Nguyen (synthetic)

Skybed Scar – the mighty lion king that once ruled the Kruger grasslands. In April 2018, in Kruger National Park, South Africa, two photographers Larry Pannell and Greg Parker took a rare set of photos of male lions taking their last breath naturally out in the wild. wild. In the last moments of his life, Skybed Scar – the mighty lion king that once dominated the Kruger grasslands and the photographers stood just over a meter apart. This male lion is a famous lion king in Kruger Park and once dominated a lion herd for several years. In his heyday. Skybed Scar has a mighty and majestic appearance, with muscular muscles and a loud roar that can make the surrounding herbivores tremble, even other male lions who want to usurp its throne. must also carefully consider the enormous power hidden in this roar. However, by the time the two photographers took these photos, Scar was old and had to leave her lions, or be chased from the lions, so she could only hunt alone. Lions are the only sociable of the big cats. They hunt together and take care of their young in packs. This helps them hunt more efficiently and can even kill large animals like the buffalo. A group of lions will usually include a male lion and a few female lions, sometimes even a herd of lion cubs running behind. A group of lions can have more than 50 individuals and in such large groups there can also be a few more adult male lions. Throughout her life, a female lion in a group of lions will be primarily responsible for hunting, while male lions are primarily responsible for patrolling the territory, intimidating other lions or other lions. invaders, keep the lions safe, and occasionally assist the lioness in her hunt. When the male lion cubs are close to reaching adulthood (under 3 years old) they will be kicked out of the herd to live in the wild, sometimes they will bond with several male lions like themselves to hunt together. bait. When these male lions are 6 years old (fully mature), they will use their strength to challenge other male lions to gain dominion over the lions. The defeated male lions will usually die from severe wounds, but if they are not dead then these old kings will be driven out of the pack and left to live alone, even if they are not. could become the target of the hyenas, and being able to die naturally would become a luxury. The photographer saw Skybed Scar at a watering hole, where a herd of small elephants usually drink water. When they got there, they noticed that a lion was drinking water on the bank, it seems that it is having problems with its left leg because its sitting angle is not very normal right now. And then they saw the lion stand up with a swaying posture like a drunk man, but in the end they discovered that it was an old lion and had not been eaten for a long time, its body only covered with skin. bone. Parker was a local photographer and recognized the old lion as Skybed Scar. It left the puddle and staggered toward a small high ground. Every few steps it will stop, bow its head to rest, accumulate the remaining strength in its body to be able to take a few more steps. After going up to the high ground, Skybed Scar looked back at the puddle one last time and then slowly walked down the slope, but only halfway through it, it fell. But right after that, a herd of elephants came to the puddle to play and satisfy their thirst, one elephant left the herd and walked towards the high ground, seeming to want to stand at a higher position to see the surrounding. Is there any danger around? At first, it did not detect the lion Scar 30 meters away, and Scar purposely avoided the view to avoid the elephant from detecting her. But unfortunately, the elephant still found it, stepped back and rushed towards Scar with a roar, when the other elephants heard the noise, they began to rush towards the old lion. Scar wanted to snarl at the elephants like when she was a child to scare away these scary giants, but now, she only had one choice, and that was to turn around and run with all her strength. The sound of galloping footsteps gradually disappeared, the dust also subsided, the two photographers drove to find the old lion, finally found Scar lying on the grass under the tree, dying unable to move. This last run had obviously exhausted him. Scar looked at the photographer with sad eyes, no one dared to approach the former king, but now, the photographer was more than a meter away, staring at its death. The old lion was breathing heavily, his chest heaving weakly, and his eyes slowly fading. Finally, after taking his last breath, Skar closed his eyes and safely left this world forever, and a generation of lion kings fell. You may often hear the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for young children on a bus, but in essence, such a statement clearly confuses many animals. Once the old male lion is driven out of the lions, only death awaits him; The new lion king will also kill the old lion king’s cubs, so that the lioness can mate with her In fact, most animals in the wild can hardly live to old age, not because they don’t want to die of old age, but their fellows don’t want to. Think twice, have you ever seen wild animals die of old age? Most people probably don’t see that in their lifetime.

The lawsuit, filed by Attorney General Karl Racine’s office, accuses Amazon of controlling nearly 70% of e-commerce sales, leading to high consumer prices. Holding nearly 70% of commercial sales, Amazon is sued against antitrust in the US The complaint was received by the District of Columbia Attorney’s Office, which said: “This online retail platform benefits and is protected by Amazon’s anti-competitive business practices. That leaves consumers vulnerable. do not have access to the best products at the lowest cost”. In addition, Amazon also caused prices across the entire online retail market to increase virtual prices for products sold on Amazon.com as well as on competitors’ online retail sales platforms. Also in the lawsuit, the e-commerce group used methods to prevent third-party sellers on its platform from offering products at lower prices than competitors. Amazon also responded to AFP that sellers set their own prices for the products they offer in Amazon’s stores, and this response contradicts comments made by the Justice Department. This e-commerce group also prides itself on offering the lowest prices with the best selection unlike any other online platform, so Amazon reserves the right not to attach deals to products that don’t have it. competitive price for customers. This lawsuit has Amazon possibly forced to charge higher prices on its e-commerce platform. The lawsuit is intended to block Amazon from anticompetitive practices as well as claims for damages and other penalties. According to eMarketer, Amazon’s e-commerce market share in the US in 2020 is 39.8% and will increase in 2021 to 44.1%, equivalent to the amount of 367.19 billion USD. According to statistics, Amazon’s profit in the first 3 months of 2021 reached 8.1 billion USD, 3 times higher than the same period in 2020. In 2020, the US Federal and State Antitrust Enforcement Agency filed lawsuits against Facebook and Google for allegedly dominating illegal markets.

Samsung Display’s dominance is being threatened by Chinese companies In particular, when Apple adopted OLED panels instead of LCD panels starting with the iPhone 12 series in 2020, the use of OLED panels increased sharply. Recently, Chinese display companies are entering the small and medium-sized OLED panel market, increasing the supply of low-cost panels. Omdia estimates that Apple will use the largest number of OLED panels for smartphones next year. It is expected that Apple will use 169 million OLED panels in 2021 and 190 million panels in 2022. Most likely they will use OLED panels for new products expected to launch in the second half of 2021. Meanwhile, Samsung is also expected to use 155 million OLED panels in 2021 and 168 million panels in 2022, the second largest after Apple. Although Samsung Display is expected to maintain its No. 1 position in the global smartphone OLED display market next year, its market share is expected to shrink due to competition from other manufacturers. Chinese company. In fact, according to Omdia, Samsung Display’s market share has dropped from 86% in 2019 to 78% in 2020. Omdia forecasts that its market share will drop to 77% in 2021 and 65% in next. On the other hand, the market share of Chinese companies is expected to increase from 15% in 2021 to 27% in 2022. In particular, BOE, China’s largest display manufacturer, is expected to expand the market. share from 6% in 2021 to 13% in 2022. Regarding this, Omdia said: “Chinese display companies are improving their technical skills. China will be a major threat to South Korea’s leading position in the OLED display market.” Phan Van Hoa (according to Businesskorea)

Industrial design students Minwook Paeng have just come up with a solution to make it easier to use your smartphone while on the road: the Third Eye robot eye. This is an eye-shaped robot that is fixed on the user’s forehead and detects obstacles in front of them when they use their smartphone on the road. This humorous device allows users to navigate while texting or surfing Instagram without worrying about being obstructed by real-world obstacles. This artificial eye has a translucent plastic shell, with internal components based on the open source electronic platform Arduino. It will be applied to your forehead with a thin gel pad. The device is integrated with a speaker and an accelerometer, which is a sensor commonly found on smartphones used to detect the orientation of the phone and automatically rotate the screen when necessary. The device is integrated with a speaker and an accelerometer, which is a sensor commonly found on smartphones used to detect the orientation of the phone and automatically rotate the screen when necessary. The accelerometer on the Third Eye detects when the user’s head is bent to open the plastic eyelid, revealing a sonar sensor. When detecting an obstacle ahead, the eye will emit a buzzing sound to signal the user. The use of mobile phones while crossing the street is increasing and affects public safety on the street. Even the city of Montclair in Southern California (USA) has introduced a law banning pedestrians from using phones or wearing headphones while walking across the street. First-time offenders will be warned, if they repeat the offense for the second time, they will be fined $100 (about 2.2 million VND), if they repeat the offense many times, the fine will be up to $500 (about 11 million VND). A scientific study has confirmed: people who use mobile phones will walk slower and even go sloppy. Due to paying attention to the phone screen so as not to type the wrong content or read the message correctly, the human observation ability will be narrowed, limiting the ability to detect obstacles and not avoid timely. As a result, accidents can happen whenever, for example, hitting other people or crashing into traffic. Please watch the video: Robot make in Vietnam knows how to do math. Source: VTV

1. Red: Red can make you think of aggression and domination. The researchers found that athletes wearing this color were 5% more likely to win. It activates heart rate and increases testosterone, so it can improve performance. Studies confirm that red color helps to attract men. So if you want attention, girls try red. 2. Purple: Purple is associated with royalty and royal rituals. Besides, it also left an impression of magic. Purple color stimulates creativity and brings peace. If this is your favorite color then you are quite sensitive. 3. Orange: If you like orange and use it a lot, you can be very active. Color is very strong and can be associated with a vibrant social environment. In addition, orange brings excitement and energy. That is probably why many sports teams use it as their uniform. 4.

The Ethiopian calendar has 12 months and 30 days, almost like the Gregorian (solar calendar) we are using. But the slight difference is that they have a 13th month (only five to six days). These extra days are called “epagomenal” days, and are essentially leap days. These additional dates ensure that the calendar follows the seasons and phases of the Moon. This addition has resulted in huge differences in the Ethiopian calendar and the normal calendar (7 years behind ours). The Ethiopians also follow a very different clock system. They obey a 12-hour clock, as opposed to the 24-hour time system that the rest of the world obey. While most people start the day at midnight (0 o’clock), Ethiopians start the day at dawn. So when the world is at 7:00 a.m. in this African country it will be 1 a.m. daytime time for Ethiopians. At 12 noon, it will be 6 o’clock during the day in Ethiopia (This is quite similar to China, Vietnam and some other feudal co-writers, using a 12-hour system, each watch and hour will be corresponds to 12 o’clock, but the beginning of the day will be counted as Little, starting at midnight). Despite international standards, this timing system exists to this day. 2. In 2017, although Ethiopia had become the fastest growing economy in the world, nearly a third of the population was still below poverty. According to the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects, Ethiopia was the fastest growing economy in the world in 2017. While global growth is forecast to be 2.7%, Ethiopia is projected to be 8.3%. ! Although these numbers may sound astonishing, in fact, with high growth rates, Ethiopia is still deep in public debt. 3. Ethiopia is home to the world’s most salty lake When someone talks about salty waters, the first thing that comes to your mind is the Dead Sea. But there are lakes that are much more salty than the Dead Sea. In fact, the Dead Sea is in seventh place and the waters that occupy first place is Ao Gaet’ale located in Afar, Ethiopia. It was formed in 2005 after an earthquake caused an underground hot spring to form on the surface. The water in Gaet’ale Pond has a salt concentration of up to 43.3%. 4. Ethiopians do not have surnames Worldwide naming conventions dictate a person’s given name, which will be preceded or followed by a parent’s surname (depending on culture). But in Ethiopia, the naming rules are going to be a little bit different. The names of the people here will include their own name, followed by the name of their father. From time to time, people can also take the name of a grandfather or any other male ancestors in the family. In addition, women cannot change their names after getting married. 5. Ethiopia is one of the lowest calorie consuming countries in the world Out of 172 countries, Ethiopia occupies the 167th place in calorie consumption. The average Ethiopian consumes 1,950 calories per day. Even lower than the minimum daily caloric intake prescribed by the World Health Organization (2,200 calories). For many communities in Ethiopia, daily survival is a very difficult thing because they often have to fast for many days because they cannot find food. According to a 2008 study, 16% of Ethiopia’s population earns less than $ 1 a day. Only 65% ​​of rural households make enough money to meet the minimum daily food intake of 2,200 calories. 6. Coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia There is a saying in Ethiopia – “Buna dabo naw”, which means “Coffee is our bread”. This clearly shows how important coffee is to the people of Ethiopia. There is a widespread belief that Ethiopia may be the birthplace of coffee. This country has a popular legend associated with this. A goat herder named “Kaldi” was busy grazing his goats when he noticed a strange expression that seemed to be extremely excited. After that, this goat kept jumping up on his hind legs and didn’t stop resting all night. Then, Kaldi realized that the goat had eaten some red berries from a small shrub. Out of curiosity, he tried it and was surprised when it filled him with energy. He then brought these to a nearby monastery. At first, the monks were skeptical about this fruit, but when they tried their seeds with hot water, they found it very interesting. In fact, there is no conclusive evidence of this legend, but it coincides with the time when coffee started being planted in Ethiopia. 7. The oldest fossil human skeleton discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 Ethiopia is one of the most talked about countries when it comes to the paleontological world. In 1963, Gerrard Dekker, a Dutch hydrologist, discovered many stone tools were used about 1 million years ago. Another important discovery was made by Tim D. White, a paleontologist. when he discovered a hominid fossil 4.2 million years old. But the most mentioned hominid fossil would be Lucy. The skeleton belongs to a woman, hence the name “Lucy”, and she lived 3.2 million years ago. She belongs to the species Australopithecus afarensis, an extinct hominid species. She is the oldest human skeleton discovered to date. 8. Raw meat is considered to be the palate of Ethiopia This trend is mainly seen in the city of Addis Ababa, where raw meat is slowly becoming a sought-after dish. The type of meat eaten raw most often is beef. There is also goat meat, but its price is quite high so people will eat it on special occasions. 9. Many Ethiopian holy places forbid women from entering The point above may make you laugh, but it’s 100% true. Those who have visited Ethiopia will confirm that. Known as “Mount Athos”, this monastic facility follows rules drafted back to the 800s C.E. There are about 20 monasteries on the campus, and this is home to 2,000 monks. These monks live a completely separate life from the rest of the world. They were so isolated that anyone who wanted to visit the sanctuary had to climb a great wall, and that could only happen with the permission of the monks. Women and animals are prohibited from entering the sanctuary. 10. In the Ethiopian city of Harar, humans and hyenas have been living together in harmony since the 16th century A common sight in the walled Harar city in Ethiopia are hyenas roaming the streets in search of food. Here, hyenas do not harm humans, and humans are not afraid of animals. Hyenas live in caves just outside the city, and whenever they need food, they look for it in the city. They are seen as agents of nature sent to clean up the mess that people have created in the city. Since the 16th century, people have offered hyena food to mark the birth of the prophet Mohammed. They believe that if the hyenas accept the food, a good time will come and vice versa.

The technology giants like Amazon, SpaceX, OneWeb continuously pour money to invest in satellite Internet. Photo: TechCrunch In recent years, satellite broadband is becoming an increasingly popular way to connect to the Internet. Major space companies are also in the race to build ultra-high-speed Internet services through orbiting satellites. Now, the field is forming a model similar to the “Seven Warring Heroes”. The companies are all moving towards a common goal: competing to be the biggest brand in broadband satellite and SpaceX’s position with Starlink dominance is being challenged. SpaceX’s Starlink project SpaceX boss – Elon Musk Of all the companies, SpaceX is the one involved with the most satellite launches. Its Starlink project has more than 1,350 satellites in orbit and plans to launch 42,000 satellites by mid-2027. Eventually, SpaceX hopes to have thousands of satellites around the Earth to establish a global network. Starlink’s Beta “Better than Nothing” was launched last October and attracted more than 10,000 users in six different countries. Starlink’s business model connects customers directly with satellites without the intervention of telecom companies between the two parties. Users register for Starlink service through the website. Once the order is accepted, Starlink will send the hardware set to the customer, which includes a tripod, WiFi router and satellite antenna. Monthly subscription fee is $ 99, and maximum download speed can reach 210 Mbps. Starlink is expanding rapidly and plans to install antennas on vehicles and connect them to satellite networks. According to the test of Internet analytics service developer Ookla, the download speed when using SpaceX’s satellite Internet is 95% faster than the normal Internet in the United States. Project Kuiper from Amazon The Amazon project is named Kuiper In 2018, Amazon’s Kuiper Project was revealed. At that time, government documents showed that the tech giant was working to build global space-based Internet services. The goal of the project is to launch 3236 satellites into a 630 km long orbit, very close to the 550 km altitude of the Starlink satellite. In January of this year, the US Federal Communications Commission approved the Kuiper Project to launch Amazon satellites into space before July 2029, and connect them to antennas on Earth to provide translation. Internet service. As of July 30, 2026, 50% of the project’s satellites will operate. Like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, the boss of Amazon, also owns a private rocket and space service company called Blue Orgin. Although no specific plans have been announced, the company is believed to be in charge of bringing the Kuiper satellite into orbit. OneWeb The Soyuz-2.1b carrier missile carries 36 OneWeb satellites that take off from the launch pad of the Vostocini launch pad. OneWeb is a UK owned broadband satellite provider. It currently has 146 satellites in orbit, 1,200 km from the ground and plans to launch a total of 648 satellites to provide global Internet service. In November last year, the company got out of bankruptcy thanks to the British government and India’s Bharti Group. OneWeb hopes to provide Internet services to the entire UK by June. Its latest service will cover the highest latitudes in the world, including Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Russia and Nordic countries. This British company provides a B2B model, provides satellite Internet to telecom companies, then the telecom companies deliver services to customers. Both SpaceX and OneWeb launched satellites into space on March 25, clearly showing a race between the world’s two leading powers in space technology. Hughes Net Satellite team Hughes Jupiter 2 Hughes Net is the largest satellite Internet provider in the United States. It relies on geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites 36,210 km away to transmit the Internet back to earth. The main difference between a satellite operating in low Earth Orbit (LEO) and a geostationary satellite is that GEO satellites can cause delays in video calls and public calls. other technology. However, the GEO satellites are in a fixed position, so unlike LEO satellites, they will not travel in orbit but target a specific area. The Hughes Network has more than 1.5 million users and six satellites in orbit, covering different areas of North America, South America and Canada, including Mexico, Brazil and Chile. The last satellite that Hughes launched was in June 2018 and its goal is to put another satellite, called Jupiter 3, into orbit by the second half of 2022. It is said that this will be a commercial satellite. the biggest ever. Hughes’ satellite service costs range from $ 59.99 to $ 149.99 per month and download speeds of 25Mbps. The kit is priced at $ 249.99, and the installation costs $ 199. The company also offers public WiFi hotspots for rural Latin America for people who cannot afford subscription fees. Telesat Daniel Goldberg, CEO and President of Telesat, Canada’s satellite operator Telesat has 15 GEO satellites at an altitude of 35,000 km above Earth. The company also plans to build an LEO Internet called “LightSpeed”. The first 298 satellites built by Thales Alenia Space are scheduled to launch in early 2023 and provide global services by 2024. According to reports, Goldberg confirmed at the 2021 LEO Satellite Digital Forum on April 6 that the LightSpeed ​​project would cost $ 5 billion. This is much cheaper than the projects of SpaceX and Amazon, which are more than $ 10 billion. Goldberg recently stated that Telesat has the best pricing in the market. In 2019, Telesat signed a launch agreement with Blue Origin to use New Glenn rockets to send LEO satellites into orbit. David Wendling, Telesat’s chief technology officer, revealed that the company has three other startups underway. ViaSat ViaSat application on smartphone ViaSat is headquartered in California, USA, operates five GEO satellites at an altitude of about 35,000 km from the Earth’s surface. The company will put three extremely powerful GEO satellites into orbit by the beginning of 2022 and achieve globalization goals until 2023. ViaSat also plans to put 288 satellites into orbit LEO by 2026. ViaSat executive chairman and co-founder Mark Dankberg said the GEO and LEO satellites would complement each other. ViaSat is working hard to create a “multi-orbit satellite Internet where users can seamlessly use GEO satellites and LEO satellites.” In December 2020, Viasat asked the FCC to study Starlink’s potential environmental impact. In response, Musk wrote on Twitter: “Obviously, Starlink is a ‘threat’ to Viasat’s profits.” Eutelsat Eutelsat is Europe’s satellite operator with 39 GEO satellites at an altitude of 46,000 km. The company now provides Internet services to the regions of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and plans to launch another satellite called Konnect VHTS to cover the rest of Europe. Michel Azibert, Executive Vice President of Eutelsat, said: “Konnect VHTS will change the rules of the game and allow Eutelsat to seamlessly deliver powerful Internet services to users at prices comparable to the above operators. ground.” Azibert says Eutelsat’s satellite service “is much lower than Starlink, very well suited to the rural markets we’re targeting in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.” Eutelsat was founded in 1977 and launched its first satellite in 1983.

Old City Gate still remains intact The old, musty smell has been lingering for several hundred years like crowding around long-distance customers. From the endless dark alley emanates tiny, low apartments along the entrance, but since the Ly dynasty there has never been any sunlight. For the door and the only window facing a niche that didn’t even have any light for me. My street and West street When we were in high school, we used to bring fabric to a tailor shop on Hang Buom street. Her ten-square-meter room is powered up all year round, day and night. The greasy neon light is not enough to show the ancient green marble stones, which are covered with fabrics and accessories so that when the guests come in crowded, they just stand around the sewing machine and exchange soup. Don’t have a seat. The old town house often has a courtyard, from which it will make a sharp turn to the stairs leading up to the “mysterious” apartments on the second floor, for a time there were countless articles about the horror of public toilets on it. So the house still has a few square meters, where did we get the toilet? Yet, people still appreciate each square of the old town. I have a neighbor who lives in the same apartment building, who has moved in Hai Phong, and is also the parent of a student in my daughter’s class. Her house is 150m2, corner, light is full, but still cramped. The day the parents gathered for a picnic, she said if the old town family would give it or not, she would not live. I’d rather go to the woods better. Seeing this, a parent in the old town opened his heart to criticize, and since then, an argument broke out. Someone who told them to live in the forest was less miserable. Some people called for living in the old town to be as happy as a king. Anything is available, just walking three steps to buy what they need. I sat and listened, just like a Western man with a Ta quarreling over which cheese or shrimp paste is more fragrant. The second Old Quarter is actually the old one – formed during the French colonial period, starting in the south and east of Hoan Kiem lake and then extending down to Ba Trieu and Nguyen Thai Hoc streets. If the “Hang” quarter was crowded like a chess board, designed to match the general character of the Vietnamese, then the ancient French area was square and scientific, the most beautiful place was Trang Tien Street. Along with it are Hai Ba Trung, Ly Thuong Kiet, Tran Hung Dao, Nguyen Du, Tran Nhan Tong. Thien Quang Lake is the boundary that ends this old French quarter. From Van Ho, Kim Lien, Bach Mai onwards, the French did not live. They built houses to serve French officials and senior staff. Therefore, Indochinese architecture in the old French quarter has really become a specialty of Hanoi. The streets running from the beginning of Sword Lake in the North, to the South, towards Thien Quang Lake are Hang Bai, Hue Street, Ba Trieu, Quang Trung, Quan Su, Tran Binh Trong, connecting with the horizontal streets into one the luxury center of the Capital. In that place, Thien Quang Lake is the soul with the cool scent of milk flowers. I grew up in this area and heard my mother tell me about the people of that area, since the time when the French legionnaires were still walking around on Nguyen Thuong Hien’s sidewalk. She also mentioned that at the beginning of the street in the East (Vu Huu Loi street) was the musician Van Cao, the writer Nguyen Tuan at the end of the street in the west, the writer Tran Dan in the middle of the street. Artist To Ngoc Van was at the town of Yet Kieu, writer Te Hanh, Nguyen Van Bong and a number of big names drove across Nguyen Thuong Hien. As for the families of To Hoai and Kim Lan, they are also on Tran Quoc Toan street. Isn’t the Thien Quang lake land in a favorable time? Trang Tien Street and the Opera House in the French colonial period Childhood imprints I was born and saw the old French houses surrounded by confetti on the walls of the mansion, giant green shutters, moss-speckled yellow walls, ancient iron gates and even more. a large, quiet tiled yard. Even now, if you ignore the cafes, restaurants and fashion shops on the ground floor and look up to the balconies with the original Indochinois style (room away from Indochina), a dreamy sky is still there. Many times I think that my taste has been raised a few levels because since childhood, it has been covered with sight by this beautiful space. My primary, middle and high school are located right next to Thien Quang Lake. During the military training week, we were also brought to the edge of the lake by the teachers to train under the shade of the milk flower trees that had not yet reached winter. Then at the end of the session, they walked along Quang Trung Street and returned to school. Anyone who was not able to study would always flee to the other side of the road to come home. When I was in elementary school, I used to “stick as much as possible” to my father to Lo Su for snacks. Every time he turns to the dried cow mannequin in the shortest Hoan Kiem street in the capital, and he says he still eats there in 7th grade. That is, my father has been eating cow mannequins there for … decades. From the time of “the ancestor”, the cow mannequin was still ragging through the life of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as now. No wonder the ancestors of the culinary custom, Nguyen Tuan, Thach Lam, Vu Bang … all grew up in Hang Gai, Hang Bac, where delicious restaurants are available, so they are immersed in Hanoi’s food. Half a century ago, my father still has an immutable “culture” that perhaps only found in Hanoi and Saigon people, which is the habit of drinking morning coffee. If I go to the street and need to see him and cannot contact him, at that time, just visit the coffee shop in the Tran Hung Dao area, the Opera House will find him between two dozen gray-haired women. They are journalists, photographic artists … who had a relationship with him for three quarters of a century. After decades of being a friend, I met each day even more than I was snuggling with my childhood friends. Residents of the old town, they know by heart each nail shop, clock counter, gas lighter pump shop, or the top box selling shrimp paste in the middle of Hang Be market. Even an old woman who specializes in thread turning needs to leave the wooden box on the sidewalk and then go upstairs to take a nap, but the customers know the way to call down. Ho Thien Quang The standard of love The people of the old town not only love the city and get drunk, but also pass the gene on to their children. Not my parents kept telling the fairy tales of the street every day, from the day Ly Nam De Street was still Love Street (because it was always so many trees and so deserted that couples went there for a walk. and confidently) before turning the city “Hang Tin”, specializing in selling computers, and there was always a lot of traffic jams in the next half century. Then I also manipulated these stories for my daughter every time I passed the architectural buildings of Indochina, dyed in the sunset light. “Mother always climbed the wall to hide from school here. In this corner of the lake, her mother and Ms. Thuy often take pictures with the red corn spreader. As for Le Duan street, my mother always rides her bike alone. This is the best mixed tea in the world that mom often eats every time she goes to tutoring ”. My daughter grew up in Cau Giay district, she looked at the old town blankly, and she loves the street so much that everything in the old town has become the norm. Not loving the street, writer Nguyen Viet Ha, a resident of Nha Chung Street, wrote “Con Giai old town” with pride that did not hide the distinction between the street and the peripheral … And painter Le Thiet Cuong, who owns an expensive house right on Ly Quoc Su street, is so arrogant that motorbikes do not go, cars do not drive … walk, too much, cycling, showing the I don’t have to go anywhere more than 500m. Writer Di Li Anyone who has urgent need to come knock on Ly Quoc Su’s door, otherwise they will just hang around the street. Busy, we had an appointment with 4 people by Thien Quang Lake, he said: “Wait a second, I rode there for up to 10 minutes”. So exactly 7 minutes later, I saw the old town artist in orange pants leisurely building his car at a milky tree. Perhaps Le Thiet Cuong thought, wherever the 10-minute bike ride is the standard.

The thing to do in digital transformation is to formulate quantitative indicators to convert to “digital thinking” … Only then, new decisions will be highly effective and there is no room for friendship to dominate. Building a digital nation and developing a digital economy is placed as a focus in Document of the 13th Party Congress to motivate Vietnam to become a high-income developed country. This issue was also heatedly discussed in the first few days of the Congress. This is a very right development path choice in the current political, economic and social situation in the world and in the region. From the development experience of several decades, the world has realized that only high quality human resources associated with high technology can create high performance for development to rise ahead of the future. Only high quality human resources associated with high technology can create high efficiency The question “what will be after industry?” has been in place since the industrialization process created a group of 7 developed industrialized countries. About five or seven years ago, public opinion was noisy about the term 4.0 technology according to the German calling given on the World Economic Forum. After a while, people discussed the content of “generation 4.0” including “artificial intelligence” (AI) and “Internet of things connecting things” (IoT). In recent years, development has turned to digital economy, digital technology, digital nation … Three books and 3 heads of state The first person to talk about technology as the driving force behind human development was Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist. He spent 30 years (1960 – 1990) researching, generalizing, drawing rules and forecasting development with three world-famous books: Future Shock (1970), Third Wave (1980). ) and power ups and downs (1990). The content of all 3 books is just to point out that: Humans started with the era of agriculture; mechanical technology made machines replace manual labor to create the industrial era; Next, information technology has created machines to replace human intellectual labor to create the information age. The information age is the third wave after agriculture, then industry, making human beings have to make fundamental changes like a great shock in the future to develop. For each of these epochs there is a different form of power: Force is the form of power in the agricultural and financial era in the industrial age and intelligence in the information age. These three books have attracted great attention to the heads of many countries, especially Zhao Ziyang (then Prime Minister of China), Lee Kuan Yew (Prime Minister of Singapore) and Kim Dae Jung (President of Korea). ). These three heads of state invited Alvin Toffler for private talks. All three countries have now become newly industrialized countries, are in the top group of the world in terms of digital nation construction and digital economic development from being an outdated agricultural country in the 1960s. I have 8 years of collaborative scientific research in Poland (1980 – 1988), so I have access to 3 books by Alvin Toffler quite early. Since then, after returning home, I have decided to carry out “digital reform” in the field of geographic information production in our country. Completion of digital technology transformation since 2000 In 1989, I introduced satellite positioning (GPS) technology to ground measurement after US President Bill Clinton issued a decision to allow the use of GPS for military purposes only. . At that time, our country was still being embargoed, having difficulty in accessing technology on all sides. Today, GPS is so universal that it’s attached to every smart device to locate every activity. From the success in the reform of geolocation technology, to the year 2000 I completed the conversion of all terrestrial imaging equipment from airplanes, satellites; ground measuring equipment; digital data processing equipment. By 2010, all geographic data of Vietnam have been established in the form of digital information. I have been conferred the title of Labor Hero by the State President in the Doi Moi period for this achievement. A few weeks ago, a friend working at the Department of Geodesy, Maps and Geographic Information told me that his superiors had come down to the Department to work on digital transformation. The director replied that the digital transformation here has been completed since 2000. The work ends soon. Listen to stories, I am also happy From qualitative to quantitative Looking back at the experience of digital development in the world and ourselves, it can be seen that artificial intelligence is playing the role of a machine replacing human intellectual labor, making an important breakthrough for development. Associated with artificial intelligence, all information must be in digital form. Human intelligence is biased towards qualitative thinking, often dominated by love or hate, which loses its honesty and objectivity. All judgments and judgments often lack scientific quantitative basis, many cases lead to wrong decisions. On the other hand, artificial intelligence thinks quantitatively, every decision made is sufficiently valid after analyzing the data. Wrong decisions can only happen when the data is wrong. Currently, the world has launched a huge system of indicators to evaluate every process, every industry, every activity, every country. Every year, the World Bank publishes a document called “World Index” with millions of indexes to evaluate thousands of fields of hundreds of countries. Such indicators are a valid basis for each country to evaluate themselves at what level in each field, and then make appropriate adjustment decisions. This is the essence of “digital thinking”. Human thinking must also change from qualitative to quantitative. That is the digital transformation of thinking. Our country currently lacks the system of indicators necessary to evaluate and decide. Everything is still in a state of qualitative thinking. The thing to do in digital transformation is to form quantitative indicators to convert thinking into “digital thinking” as a habit in development until it becomes “digital culture”. Only then can decisions be highly effective and there is no room for friendship to dominate.
