The meal was cooked and presented by Vu Van Vo. (Source: Vietnamnet) Presented extremely beautifully, Vo’s plump, multi-dish dishes made the online community admire. Van Vo said that he was born in Bac Ninh, went to Africa to live and work since he was 17 years old. Currently, he works at a photocopy and photography shop in a rural area of ​​Angola. Having lived in Africa for 10 years, Vo still finds it difficult to eat local food. “There are few dishes that I feel good about, one of them is grilled goat – a specialty of Angola. That’s why I often cook Vietnamese food for my family.” The 27-year-old said that he works from Monday to Saturday, so he often “draws” on weekends. As a person who loves to cook, Vo has taught himself how to prepare and present food online, plus his own creativity, he has never taken any cooking courses. Vo shared: “To cook Vietnamese food here, I often have to go to the city 40-50 km away from home to buy ingredients. But not everything can be bought, so when I cook, I have to fix it myself.” The cost for these 6-person rice trays, if calculated in Vietnamese money, is quite expensive – usually ranging from 4 to 10 million VND. For example, a meal with grouper costs 10 million VND, because a 6 kg fish alone costs 6 million VND. As for the more simple meals, eating every day is about 400 – 500 thousand VND / meal. “People who come to the house to eat rice often praise the beautiful tray of rice and do not want to eat it. I feel very happy and motivated to cook more delicious meals,” Vo said. Vo also confided that he has been to Africa since 2011 but he has only visited his hometown once in 2015. Therefore, he is very homesick and the dishes have a taste of his homeland. Let’s take a look at Vo’s beautifully presented pure Vietnamese rice trays: (according to Vietnamnet)

Mr. Vien Long Binh, aged 91, is considered the father of hybrid rice. Photo: CCTV. “We recognize and highly appreciate the contributions of Professor and Academician Vien Long Binh to the world agricultural science in general and China in particular, especially appreciate the results of hybridization to create The world’s first hybrid rice was developed in 1973. With this success, he has helped nearly 20% of the world’s population escape hunger and contributed to making China one of the world’s leading rice producers,” said Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan. First letter of condolence, sent on May 23, 2021, to the family of the late Professor, Academician Yuan Longping and the Chinese agricultural industry. Mr. Yuan Longping was born in 1930, is China’s leading agricultural scientist on hybrid rice. He and his colleagues have contributed to bringing rice yield from 4.5 tons/ha to 15 tons/ha. This is considered the key to helping China solve the food security problem for more than a billion people in this country. Thanks to the late Professor Vien Long Binh, hybrid rice has been replicated throughout Africa, America and Asia. In Vietnam, the first generation of hybrid rice that was put into wide production was the variety Bac Uu 64 (also known as Tap Giao 4 – TG4), starting in the early 1990s. Thanks to this variety, along with the following varieties. such as San uu 63 (called Tap Giao 1), San uu Que 99 (Tap Giao 5), Vietnam has stabilized domestic food. After nearly ten years of access, our country has self-produced high-quality hybrid rice varieties such as HYT100, HYT 57, LC2, LC3, especially VL20 and TH3-3. However, the pioneer in the development of hybrid rice still belongs to the late Professor Vien Long Binh. Minister Le Minh Hoan continued: “In his working life, Professor, Academician Vien Long Binh has visited, worked, and supported projects/programs on hybrid rice many times, and trained staff. Research and technology transfer for Vietnam’s agricultural industry These are solid agricultural scientific foundations, gradually contributing to poverty reduction, ensuring food security and creating an export miracle. rice export of Vietnam”. At the end of the letter, Minister Hoan expressed his gratitude to the man who is considered the father of hybrid rice: “In the face of infinite grief, on behalf of Vietnam’s agricultural industry and in my personal name, I would like to send to the whole family of Mr. and the Chinese agriculture industry deeply condolences for this great loss and grief.”

Mr. Vien Long Binh – who is known as the father of hybrid rice in China. The father of hybrid rice Vien Long Binh died in Trường Sa city, capital of Hunan province, China due to old age and serious illness, Xinhua news agency reported. Mr. Vien was born in 1930. He led Chinese agricultural scientists to increase rice yield from 300 kg/acre to over 1,000 kg/acre. Each Chinese acre is equivalent to 666.6m2. This achievement of Mr. Vien and his associates is considered as the key to helping China solve the food security problem for more than a billion people in this country. Hybrid rice later appeared in dozens of countries in Africa, America and Asia, yielding higher yields than traditional rice. China has named four celestial bodies in outer space after Mr. Yuan Longping was once awarded the “Order of the Republic of the Nation”, the highest honor that China bestows on an individual. During his lifetime, Mr. Vien was famous for requiring that all doctors he trained or worked at the unit had to go to the fields. He himself, at the age of 88, still spends at least 5 hours a day in the fields. “Computers are very important, books are very important, but books can’t grow wet rice, can’t grow wheat. We now have a number of PhDs who are heavy on theory, but ignore practice, understand it. A lot of knowledge from books, but without practice, nothing can be done,” said Mr. Vien. Mr. Vien predicts that taking advantage of biotechnology to breed agricultural crops is the development orientation and inevitable trend in the future. Regarding food from genetically modified technology, Mr. Vien said it is necessary to have a cautious attitude, not to deny it completely.

Most planets in the universe are not suitable for us to live in. With the current environment in the planets, imagine how, if we humans lived there, the body would change. Mars Gravity is lower on Mars than on Earth and it is further away from the Sun, so if we live on Mars, we will see less sunlight. Mars also lacks a protective magnetic field due to its thin atmosphere, everything there, including humans, is exposed to radiation. Occasionally, strong winds create dust storms that fly across the planet, and dust continues to settle for months to come. So if you go to live on Mars, you may be taller, stronger body to compensate for the poor gravity. You will have big eyes for better visibility when the Sun is too far away. In addition, the main pigment in your body changes from melanin to carotenoids (carrots, tomatoes and oranges). So your skin is likely to be orange. Jupiter Living on the surface of Jupiter is challenging because the planet has no real surface. It is purely air. However, this does not mean it is just a giant cloud suspended in space. If you travel through its atmosphere to deeper parts, the gas will become dense until it turns into a liquid. In a nutshell, Jupiter is an ocean layer made up of hydrogen instead of water. With such high pressure, extreme temperatures and liquid environments, humans would have to mimic creatures that live in deep water. We would be like animals with small legs and hard shells to protect the body from Jupiter’s radiation. Saturn Saturn is also a giant cloud of hydrogen and helium, with no soil or no wind. However, inside it is much denser and much smaller than Jupiter. Its iconic belts are made of countless ice particles, so nothing can live on this planet. The Saturn rings are innumerable ice particles. Saturn’s weight is too small, so it can float in a bath if there is a tub large enough to hold. The only way to get around in the dense mist of Saturn is to hover around like a jellyfish. Your body will not have a skeleton so that it cannot be crushed by the pressure. Mercury Life on Mercury is extremely difficult. This tiny planet is closest to the Sun, so the sunlight here is seven times bigger than Earth, no sunscreen can resist. Mercury’s temperature is extremely extreme, around 430 ° C during the day and -180 ° C at night. The planet is also prone to meteor shower and earthquakes. There is no atmosphere here to breathe. How must we change to accommodate Mercury? Meat and bones can never withstand the harsh conditions here. So to live in Mercury, our bodies must be made of something similar to the refractory metal, for example, titanium. There’s no need for a respiratory system, so your pretty metal face won’t have a nose. And your eyes will be like a thick sunglasses to protect them from the sun’s light. Venus If there’s a place that’s harder to live than Mercury, it’s definitely Venus. The temperature here is a whopping 471 ° C. The atmosphere is extremely thick, creating a greenhouse effect. The planet’s surface is very dry, there are many natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, hurricane winds and lightning. The pressure here is like you are 1 mile underwater, giving you constant headaches. Unfortunately, the only thing that can exist on Venus is bacteria. Venus corrode everything, even metal, making it impossible for human spacecraft to stop here. Venus’s atmosphere contains phosphine, which is toxic to any organism that breathes oxygen, but is very beneficial for bacterial growth. Uranus, Neptune Frozen, dark and plagued by strong winds, Uranus and Neptune are mostly made up of cold liquids – methane, water and ammonia. They do not have a solid surface, and their atmospheres slowly mix with the water around the cores of other planets. Gravity is stronger here than on Earth and puts more pressure on everything. With such a strong gravity, the human body living here would have to be shorter and muscular, muscular, and thicker in skin to resist the cold. And for the liquid environment here, the best form to live in is a cosmic dolphin or manatee, making it easier to navigate around the planet. The Pluto Pluto is the planet farthest from the Sun, covered with ice and snow. Gravity is extremely weak and the atmosphere is fragile. The sun seen from Pluto is just a dot on the horizon, like the Moon to Earth, so there won’t be much light. However, scientists believe that there may be ocean water below Pluto’s surface. If you live on Pluto, your body needs antifreeze, like some insects and fish. Low gravity causes muscles and bones to shrink, the space between the vertebrae expands and makes us taller. Human posture will also change as the spine is not doing too much. So you can be tall, thin, and somewhat spiderman with flexible limbs and a curved spine.

Swimming pool in the villa grounds of Hong Dao After divorcing artist Quang Minh, artist Hong Dao rarely shares personal life. She also lives in the US, because of the epidemic, she did not return to Vietnam to participate in art activities. Recently, Hong Dao started practicing Vlog to share his daily life. Recently, the female artist shared an introduction clip about the garden in her living space in America. Her villa area has a spacious courtyard and garden, front and back are planted with many kinds of trees and flowers by Hong Dao. In it, in front of the house is green grass and planted some flowers such as hibiscus, purple daisies, celestial plants. Spacious garden in front of Hong Dao’s house The female artist also put some wooden chairs in front of the door for others. She said that in the US, any home that has unused leftovers will put it all in front of the door and put the word “free” on it. Whoever passes through feels the need to take it for free. Many houses are put in front of the cabinets, television, bed mattress … From the front garden to the back garden of Hong Dao’s house, there is a small alley next to the house. Here, the female artist skillfully planted a lot of lettuce and fish at the wall to eat and squeeze water. In addition, in the garden, she also planted many kinds of ornamental plants such as ornamental bamboo, Quynh flower, lantern, coconut bamboo, bonsai, peach, camellia, Japanese sam, stone lotus … Instead of planting many fruit trees, Hong Dao mainly grows a variety of flowers and ornamental plants in her garden The trees are selected by Hong Dao and her mother to plant and take care of. Besides, she also planted a small vegetable yard for her own use. According to the female artist, she cleverly trimmed vegetables to be used throughout the season. In particular, the Hong Dao back garden also has a crystal-clear swimming pool, winding design. “I build a swimming pool for a few months in the summer but rarely use it. Currently, around 4am, a few wild ducks come and go loudly. , the female artist said.

It happened in early 2018 at the Oregon College of Health and Science in Portland, Oregon (USA). 26-year-old medical student Warren Nielsen and four friends in the group prepare to perform the surgery of the donated body in the autopsy room. The body that the Nielsen group operated on was that of Rose Marie Bentley, who died in 2017 at the age of 99. Rose died of natural causes, not illness or accident. Before her death, she expressed her wish to donate her body to medicine. The woman with visceral reversal and was the longest living person with the condition ever recorded. But as soon as she operated the donated body of Mrs. Bentley, Warren Nielsen and his group were very shocked. They felt something was very strange because what they saw seemed completely contrary to the theory learned in the syllabus. “ I know something happened, but it took us a while to determine the composition of her organs “, says Cameron Walker anatomy professor at the Oregon College of Health and Science. “ Bentley’s veins are on the left side, instead of pouring directly into the heart. Her veins continued across the diaphragm, along the thoracic vertebrae, up and around on the aorta before pouring into the right side of the heart. Our normal bodies are never like that “, Walker explained. A live image of Mrs. Bentley. It was not the only anomaly that surgeon Cameron Walker and his students found in Mrs. Bentley’s body. Her right lung had only two lobes, instead of the usual three, while her heart’s right atrium was twice the size of normal. A series of questions were asked: Why is Mrs. Bentley’s stomach on the right side and not the left side? Her liver is on the left, not the right side? Likewise, is the spleen on the right side instead of the left and organs that should be in the abdomen found in the chest cavity? And there are many other abnormalities inside the body, including part of the stomach protruding from the diaphragm and strange veins … Why? The cause of Bentley’s internal upheaval may come from a congenital condition called Situs inversus – in which most of the vital organs are reversed, almost like a mirror inside the body. The picture shows abnormalities in the internal position of Mrs. Bentley. That, along with a host of other bizarre anomalies, make Mrs. Bentley a “mutant” and it will make her name recorded in the history of world literature. This strange mutation can occur between days 30 and 45 of pregnancy, he added, but no one knows why. It is estimated that for every 10,000-22,000 births, only one will experience Situs inversus. Due to heart defects, only 5% to 13% of those children live beyond the age of 5 years. Records have been documented in a boy who lived to the age of 13 and one who lived until the age of 73. The reversal of the internal organs will affect the health of the person who has it, so the majority of children with Situs inversus do not survive to adulthood. So the fact that Mrs. Bentley lived to the age of 99 is almost an unbelievable miracle. Mutants with normal life Photo: Internet Mrs. Bentley has 5 children, 14 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and 11 children, but no one, not even the 99-year-old old lady, knows about the strange mystery inside her body. Louise Allee, one of Mrs. Bentley’s five children, shared that her mother was a lover of science. Perhaps that is the reason why Mrs. Bentley decided to dedicate her body to research. “ My mom will think that’s a great thing she can do. She will smile in heaven when she learns about her difference, especially when the difference is so meaningful. “Said Louise Allee. An image of a young Mrs. Bentley. “ Despite suffering from chronic heartburn (possibly due to the abnormal stomach position) my mother never complained of any discomfort in her body. We have no reason to believe there was such a strange thing in my mother’s body. My mother is always very healthy. She often took us to Campfire Girls, fishing, swimming. My mother deserves to be a great swimmer “Mrs. Bentley’s third child, Ginger Robbins, said. In fact, there was a time when a doctor was unable to locate the appendix for Mrs. Bentley. At that time, the doctor only noted the family that her appendix was in an unusual position. The doctor also did not check on other organs, so things gradually went into oblivion.
