The 1880 restaurant, located in Robertson Quay (Singapore), has officially put on the menu serving three sample dishes, made from chicken … cultured in the laboratory. With an average selling price of about 23 USD, diners will experience the unique flavors of dumplings with chicken with crispy sesame sauce and green onions, phyllo puff pastry with pureed chicken and black beans, or crispy waffles with chicken, spices and hot sauces. Although the price is relatively high, but the three items mentioned above are highly appreciated by customers for their similarity in quality, taste and structure of each muscle muscle. After all, Josh Tetrick – founder and CEO of Eat Just has succeeded in turning the idea into reality. The way to grow cells in a lab to produce chicken is different from using plant proteins to make a product. Because plant proteins are similar in taste to taste, but plant proteins differ markedly on the cellular level. Another convincing point, nutrients that are not synthesized by cells such as iron, vitamin B12 … will be added in the culture medium to create products with nutritional value equivalent to slaughter animal meat. . Singapore has been at the forefront of technology adoption, with the aim of completely transforming the food system, to replace traditional agriculture, and to develop the industry in a more sustainable and humane way. It was also the first country in the world to license the commercialization of laboratory-grown meat. “This will help us say no to deforestation, nor do we need to relocate the habitat of animals or use any antibiotic in livestock. The cooperation with the restaurant 1880 is a historic step, before the dishes are served in Europe, America, or other countries around the world “, Josh Tetrick confirmed. Singapore has been a hub for sustainable foods for many years, with a wide range of startups producing a wide range of goods, from seafood grown in the laboratory to dumplings. from tropical fruits instead of pork. The official licensing of three special chicken dishes is considered a historic landmark of cuisine with the hope of contributing to reducing the environmental damage caused by human agricultural production. Worldwide, there are now more than 20 companies testing the development of laboratory cultured chicken, beef, and fish products, in the hope of entering the slaughter meat substitute market, it is estimated. is worth up to $ 140 billion by 2029.

Tourists go on a pilgrimage to Ba Vi mountain to offer incense to the Uncle Ho Temple and the Holy Ghost Tan Vien Temple Look for living witnesses to complete information for visitors In the report dated August 30, 1942 of Ambassador Son Tay Fucat to the Governor of Tonkin on the Ba Vi mountain planning project, evaluated: “Ba Vi mountain area will become a resort with higher benefits than Tam Dao. … ”. The reason is “the road from Hanoi to Ba Vi is very convenient. The distance from Hanoi to the 1,000m level is only 67km. There are only 12km of mountain roads. The slope of Ba Vi mountain is not more than 10% (meanwhile in Tam Dao it is 14%, even 16%). The climate in Ba Vi is not as wet as Tam Dao. The temperature does not change too much, the lowest is 17.8 degrees C and the highest is 29.6 degrees C ”. From 1932 – 1944, the French built many works here such as motels, amusement parks, churches, orphanages, summer camps, youth schools, military bases … At a height of 1,000-1,100m on the western slope of Tan Vien peak is a secret political prison system solidly built to imprison our patriotic communists against the colonial regime. The prison is arranged into 3 zones: Zone 1 is the residence for the prison guards, zone 2 and 3 are the places to keep prisoners. With a total area of ​​nearly 1,000m2, it can detain from 100-200 people. Currently, documents about the political prison are limited, Ba Vi National Park (National Park) is actively looking for surviving witnesses and related documents to gradually refine information. service visitors to visit.

And Ba Vi National Park is trying to bring these historical vestiges into tourism development associated with biodiversity protection and preserving historical and spiritual values ​​of Ba Vi mountain. Mr. Do Huu The – Director of Ba Vi National Park took us along the winding road under the lush green trees to visit Ngoc Hoa cave. This cave is located at an altitude of 350m, about 200m from a motorway. Crouching through a small stone arch covered with vines, we can see the cave. Here, we observe a natural phenomenon that took place millions of years ago, that is the slide of geology due to the movement of the Ba Vi mountain formation, which created interesting caves. Above the cave is a large rock formed by 3 solid pillars to create a large arch about 15m2. Next to the rocky cave is a bat cave with a very “fertile” door shape. The cave consists of 4 doors piercing the mountain bed and is home to about 5-6 species of bats. However, the cave is very deep and dangerous, currently Ba Vi National Park has not allowed visitors to visit. Lying above the bat cave is “The Rock”. Legend has it that this is the place where Princess Ngoc Hoa (the 18th son of Hung Vuong) homesick and looks at the land of Phong Chau ancestor. From Ngoc Hoa cave, we can reach out to the forest lying on the slopes and the villages running far away on the foot of the mountain.

Anqing, also known as “Yicheng”, means “safe and auspicious celebration” and “Yicheng here”. It is located in the southwest of Anhui Province and is close to the Yangtze River. Since Anqing City was built in 1217, it has more than 800 years of history. Anqing has a profound historical and cultural heritage. As early as the Paleolithic period, there were traces of human activities. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Anqing belonged to the ancient Anhui state, and today the abbreviation “Wan” of Anhui Province comes from this.

Anqing is located at the junction of the three provinces of Anhui, Hubei, and Jiangxi. It is surrounded by mountains and borders the Huaihe River. It has a very advantageous geographical location. The exchanges between ports have become more frequent and have become an important commodity distribution center in southwest Anhui. Anqing Port is not only one of the top ten ports on the Yangtze River trunk line, but also has the reputation of “a thousand-year ferry port for a century”. In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Anqing became the capital of Anhui Province, and it took more than one hundred years to do it. As one of the origins of the Westernization Movement and one of the earliest cities in China that accepted modern civilization, Anqing was the leader of urban economy in the Yangtze River valley in China at that time. It was also called the “Five Tigers of the Yangtze River” along with Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, and Chongqing. Very high social status.

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel relates it to an artery blockage that caused capitalism’s heart attack. An association could not be more relevant. Ever Given gets stuck, but that’s not just its own business. Nearly 400 other ships that wanted to cross Suez were also stuck, causing $ 9.6 billion in trade value to stall.

Obviously no ships were sunk and the cargo will arrive sooner or later but they are slow. Slowly, that’s how capitalism has changed man’s notion of time. If you asked someone who lived in the 17th century about a timetable, they would wonder what the hell you were asking about. Until the 18th century, people just invented a timetable to manage train times. But, it was not until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that industrialists had to optimize it and bring it into economics as an indicator of efficiency. That is, it was only when the capitalists appeared that the expression “time is money” was born.

The image of the pitiful little bulldozer is rescuing the Ever Given super ship into a photo-processing phenomenon on social networks for many days.

Not only that. The Ever Given ship stuck for 6 days in the Suez Canal, Egypt, causing the country to lose $ 12-14 million per day. 6 days seems to be a very special time for Egyptians. In 1967, the Israeli army also landed in Egypt to wage a six-day war over the Arab coalition and as a result Israel then took control of the Gaza Strip, east of Jerusale, the Sinai peninsula, the west bank and Golan Heights.

In retaliation, Egypt closed the Suez Canal and reopened it in 1975. That coincidence is a sign that, if we look closely, the story of the incident in Suez might suggest more.

And, that’s right. Since its inception, Suez has always been a mirror to the world, even if we want to, we can see very clearly the many stages of human history over the past 150 years, only through the lens of Suez: from the owner. colonialism in Africa, to the Cold War and then globalization.

In the mid-19th century, a French diplomat proposed to invest in Egypt building a canal connecting the Mediterranean with the Red Sea, and the creation of that artery was also the beginning of a dark chapter of Africa, when the continent began to be torn apart by Europe. Just before Suez’s inauguration, Khedive (Viceroy) of Egypt defaulted and was forced to sell part of the ownership of the Suez Canal to England – so a colonial dispute broke out between England and France, culminating is the Fashoda event, where the British won Egypt and the French kept only Morocco. So, from the outset, that canal has been a metaphor for a change in power structure.

However, the troubled political situation in Egypt led the British press to coined the term “Egyptian question” as a way of expressing doubt and fear that the occupation of the Suez Canal would pose a threat. Castle. Little is said about, that the formation of the Suez Canal led to the creation of a gothic literary movement about the supernatural forces of the rising ancient Egyptian civilization to destroy the enemy. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the immortal series of Sherlock Holmes, could not stand out from the trend and he has a short story “Lot No.249” revolving around an Egyptologist who brings back so many antiques. You should get revenge by the zombies.

And, the story of these ancient curses “can be read as a symbol of both a desire for power to fully hold the Suez Canal and the fear of losing it,” as scholar Ailise Bulfin in Trinity College wrote in an essay.

It was the middle of the 19th century. Also until the middle of the 20th century, this time everything changed after 2 world wars. Colonialism is coming to the conclusion of many colonial countries’ struggle for national liberation and a newly formed context: the Cold War. The historic arena now belonged to the Soviet and American powers, a battle that Hopkins University’s foreign relations professor Michael Mandelbaum likened to a sumo fight, in which two fat brothers worshiped. and stomped his feet but barely actually touched each other. With unmatched value, the Suez Canal is of course indispensable for a role on this sumo ring.

The British Air Force prepared to attack Egypt during the Suez Crisis of 1956.

On October 29, 1956, the British – French – Israeli coalition attacked Egypt after its decision to nationalize the Suez Canal, opening the “Suez Crisis”. And, like all events in the world at the time, it was actually still a matter between the US and the Soviet Union, though they might not “show up” directly. Why does the Egyptian government want to nationalize Suez? It is in response to the US unwillingness to fund the construction of the Aswan Dam on the Nile. And who is willing to lend Egypt $ 1.12 billion to implement this project? Who else but the Soviet Union.

What was even more interesting, however, was that the United States did not want to attack Egypt. Therefore, President Eisenhower’s government has pressured allied countries to leave, with Britain alone, Eisenhower threatened to sell bonds in pounds, which would cause immeasurable damage. for UK finance. Frightened, Britain withdrew its troops and suffered a dull face. Historians today conclude that the Suez Crisis “marked the end of the UK’s role as one of the great powers in the world” and that the demise of old empires like Britain or France only caused The dichotomy between the US and the Soviet Union became more solid.

Then after a few decades, when the walls fell, the Cold War was finally in the past. What defeated it, replaced it, was globalization, according to author Thomas L. Friedman in “The Lexus and the Olive Fishing”. Friedman’s famous book was first published in 1999 but up to now, it is still accurate. We are still living in the era of globalization, globalization becomes more and more apparent in every corner of our lives.

And, just in time when the new power structure is going into smooth operation, the Ever Given ship’s trauma on the Suez Canal reveals to us the fragility of the global supply chain. In his book, Friedman makes a statement: “The greatest threats to globalization originate in itself. This system has the potential to destroy itself ”. Among the “self-destructive potentials” mentioned by Friedman, one comes from “too tight connection”.

Only one ship, but accounts for more than 13% of all cargo that goes through the sea. Just one ship, can cause total damage of about 400 million USD per hour and 10 billion USD per day. And, no country can say this incident has no effect on us, just that the effect will come soon or a little later. It was an incident no one ever thought could happen, but it still happens. And, the whole world could suffer just because of the negligence of a handful of people. The weakness of globalization lies in that. And this time, will the Suez Canal herald a structural change in the world? Some experts say that, most likely, the Suez incident will promote the transport of knowledge and technology, instead of the physical cargo. Let’s wait and see.

But, also does not rule out this possibility, a possibility that has been mixed with the Egyptians in recent days. The number is that before Ever Given was trapped, Egypt was moving 22 mummies to the new museum and because of the “cemetery of the tombs”, the mummies of the Pharaohs were cradling a curse that caused bad luck to the world. It sounds nonsense, but it shouldn’t be taken literally. In fact, the curse of the Pharaohs is the “olive tree” described by Friedman: it is a symbol of the past, of identity, of tradition, which is grappling with the “lexus” – that is development, integration, industrialization, which is represented by the modern Ever Given supership.

The only thing we can be sure of is that globalization has some small problems, but if not fixed in time, it can have a big impact. Anyway, in ancient times terrible changes in history began with the release of screws.
