The terraced fields in the pouring water season are picturesque. Photo: ST. The pouring water season, also known as the pouring season, is the season when the highland people take water to the terraced fields to prepare for rice transplanting, this is a very important stage to make the golden seasons of terraced fields. The time from May to June every year, when the first rains of the season bring water to the fields, it is also the time when people focus on planting winter rice to keep up with the time frame. The terraced fields are filled with water from small creeks in the high mountains, shimmering like reflections, stretching to the horizon. At this time, every citizen, one person at a time, busy and urgently focused on water diversion, embankment, and plowing. The final stage is to pull out the seedling to transplant, towards a new crop of cotton-laden, heavy-grained rice. When the water is brought in just enough, the people continue to sow seeds. A few days later, each green field as far as the eye began to appear, they drained the water for the rice to germinate. And when those sprouts bounced up out of the water, people brought the water back to the fields for the seedling to grow a bit more. At this time, the terraced fields look like multi-color paintings: places with yellow alluvial color, places dyed with green color of newly sown seeds, places reflecting purple sky and earth. The unique characteristics of terraced fields are hills with high slopes, winding terrain, mainly taking advantage of the water from the sky, so the work of leading water to the fields is an “art” that requires skillful hands. talented and industrious. The pouring water season becomes one of the unique tourism products of the Northern mountainous region that cannot be found anywhere else. Coming to the highland districts of Bat Xat, Mu Cang Chai, Hoang Su Phi… of Lao Cai, Yen Bai and Ha Giang are like stairs north to the blue sky, creating an extremely beautiful landscape picture. In particular, Bat Xat district (Lao Cai) currently has more than 3,000 hectares of terraced fields, distributed in all communes: Y Ty, Sang Ma Sao, Den Sang, Ngai Thau, notably The Pa valley in the area. 2 communes Y Ty and Ngai Thau have been recognized as national monuments by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The streams Ngoi Phat, Lung Po, and Quang Kim not only make an important contribution to agricultural production and field cultivation, but also become the most beautiful tourist destination in the Northwest.

House made of 3D printing technology in the Netherlands. The Dutch couple are the first tenants of a house built with 3D printing technology in Europe. Experts believe that this unique design will open up a multitude of choices about the shape and style of future homes. Elize Lutz, 70 and Harrie Dekkers, 67 – two retired shop owners from Amsterdam – just received the house’s digital key on May 6. This key is an application that allows them to open the door with the touch of a button. “It is beautiful and feels safe” – 2 grandparents commented. “When I looked at the design, I saw it as a garden in a fairy tale” – Mrs. Lutz said. Inspired by the shape of a rock, this house would be difficult and expensive to build using traditional methods. This is the first 3D-designed house out of five planned by the construction company Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for the site next to the Beatrix Canal in the Bosrijk suburb of Eindhoven. In the last two years, real estate built in part with 3D printing technology has appeared in France and the US. These nascent projects are also slowly growing around the world. But with an area of ​​94 square meters, this 3D house in the Netherlands is said to be a remarkable stand-out from its rivals when it is legally allowed to live inside. The Dutch couple is very pleased with their new home. Mr. Bas Huysmans – CEO of Weber Benelux – said: “This is also the first project that is 100% authorized by the local government and there are people who really want to pay to live in it”. The 3D printing method involves a giant robotic arm with a special formulation of a cement nozzle. Cement will be “printed” out according to the architect’s design layer after layer until a wall has enough bearing capacity. This nozzle will be replaced after hours of operation like an ink printer. That change also shows up on the walls of the house, like a small error in the cement printing process. Although in its infancy, the method of building houses with 3D printing has been evaluated by many in the construction industry as a solution to reduce costs and harm the environment by reducing the amount of cement used. In the Netherlands, this is also an alternative in the shortage of skilled masons. The cement stains on the walls of the house are caused by changing the nozzle of the cement after a few hours of operation. This 3D house consists of 24 concrete details, printed layer by layer in a factory in Eindhoven before being transported to the construction site by truck. It is based on a foundation made by Dutch construction company Van Wijinen. After that, the roof and window frames were installed and finished. For future homes, it is hoped that the construction will be done entirely on site. Another advantage of the house is that it prints in just 120 hours. “If we only print once and finish it, it will take less than 5 days. Because, the big benefit of the printer is that there is no need to eat, sleep or rest. If we start tomorrow, the next house will be completed in 5 days, ”said Mr. Huysmans.

Before the ship was successfully rescued, the photo became the raw material for netizens to create photos around the trapped Panama flag super ship.

Mission Impossible Abdelgawad, 26, is an excavator worker working in the Suez Canal, earning about $ 190 a month. At 7:00 a.m. on March 23 (local time), he started the shift as usual. However, the entrance to the workplace was locked and no one was allowed in. “I asked the security guard and he said there was a ship stuck in the canal,” said Abdelgawad. Later, he and his colleagues returned to the workers’ lodging in the al-Arbain area, about a 30-minute drive from the workplace. An hour later, Abdelgawad received a call from his manager, asking him to quickly go to the east bank of the Suez Canal. A car from the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) was waiting outside the door. “I told the manager I could not enter the work area because it seemed a boat was stuck in the canal. He told me that I would go there for the sake of this ship, ”said the 26-year-old excavator driver. “When I got there, I saw that the excavator had been loaded onto the truck so that I could get closer to the bow. Going more than 1 kilometer, my heart started beating hard “. “SCA engineers told me about the incident. With 8 years of experience working in the canal, I realized that perhaps it was necessary to suck up all the mud and sand clinging to the bottom of the boat and dig deep from both sides of the ship because the bow was buried deeply in the sand, ”said Abdelgawad. Under this option, the excavator would have to dig more than 15 m deep, while the dredging ships would have to suck up all of the sediment that clinging to underneath so that the ship floated again. The Ever Given was trapped in the middle of the Suez Canal. Photo: Getty. Real life hero Abdelgawad, alone, diligently steered the excavator through the layers of sand under the giant ship. He worked non-stop until the afternoon of March 24, when someone else came to replace him. During 5 consecutive days, he only rested for 3-4 hours per day. “I sat in the excavator and looked up, the ship popped up like a skyscraper. When I started the engine, my heart beat the hardest. Everyone was worried about me for working right underneath my baby. Such a giant ship is extremely dangerous, “said Abdelgawad. “I was scared, but still determined to continue. I’m just worried that if something unfortunate happens, how will my father and family live. He only has me as a boy, the rest are two sisters, “he said. Abdelgawad poses next to the excavator. Photo: Abdelgawad. “The sediment layer crumbles into pieces both on the surface and settles down to form very large sediments. If the ship is tilted to a certain degree, me and the little excavator will be crushed by it. I felt like a soldier in real battle, ”said Abdelgawad. On the side of the Abdelgawad family, they kept calling the excavator crew to inquire about his situation every day. Meanwhile, many people have posted photos of the single excavator standing next to the giant super ship Ever Given on social networks and accompanied by ridicule. “They posted it online and laughed at the excavator and I, tacitly said that all my efforts were hopeless. I felt very sad, but I quickly forgot about it with the efforts of the entire rescue team. has been paid back. The ship re-floated on March 29. ” “I captured that great moment and posted it on Facebook. It felt like I had won a war,” said Abdelgawad. Returning to the small village of Danjwan, located on the outskirts of Shirbin city (Daqhaliyah province) Abdelgawad is greeted as a hero. The villagers shouted his name and celebrated. “I know that I have done something great for the country. My dad said he was very proud of me. My life has changed completely, ”said the 26-year-old man.
