Close to the limit of insolvency According to the director of Sao Viet car company, production and business revenue is almost zero, but every day still has to bear countless expenses such as bank interest; rent for factories, warehouses, salaries to support officials, employees, drivers; road maintenance fees … A series of passenger transport enterprises are in the “swallowing” scene. “Before the epidemic, on average, each month we spent about 3 billion dong on salaries and bonuses for drivers and employees. However, today, even though there is no revenue, we still have to “burden” nearly 1 billion dong/month “- Mr. Bang stated. Not only road transport, the air transport market has suffered the most severe decline ever, prompting the Ministry of Planning and Investment to issue a warning that the solvency of enterprises is declining close to the limit of insolvency. maths. For example, the national airline of Vietnam (Vietnam Airlines), it is expected that the loss of the first quarter of 2021 will be at VND 4,800 billion and in the first six months of the year may reach VND 10,000 billion. Currently, the amount of overdue debt has reached VND 6,240 billion and is in a very difficult situation. Vietnam Airlines has more than 9,000 employees who are on unpaid leave and temporary suspension of labor contracts. Most transport businesses are facing great difficulties due to the Covid-19 epidemic Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR) also lost 50% of passenger transport revenue in the past 5 months due to people restricting travel, the railway industry had to cut many passenger trains. Mr. Nguyen Cong Hung, Chairman of the Hanoi Taxi Association, said that the number of passengers decreased by 80%-90%, revenue fell seriously, and workers’ lives were difficult. A series of taxi companies are facing the risk of bankruptcy, and bad debts are at high risk of increasing in the banking system. Therefore, recently, the Taxi Associations of Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City have jointly signed a document to send to the Prime Minister, proposing to support taxi transport enterprises to overcome difficulties before the Covid-19 pandemic. Proposing many solutions Facing the above situation, the Prime Minister has just assigned the Ministry of Transport to consider and propose policies and solutions to support passenger transport enterprises facing difficulties due to the Covid-19 epidemic. to border gates and between regions in the domestic market. According to Mr. Tran Bao Ngoc, Director of the Transport Department (Ministry of Transport), since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Ministry of Transport has proposed policies and solutions to support transport enterprises in difficulty. Regarding the solution to remove the vehicle inspection cycle, Mr. Ngoc said that the Ministry of Transport is amending Circular No. 70/2015 in the direction of adjusting the inspection cycle of passenger cars of all kinds up to 9 seats with transportation business. , adjusted from 18 months to 24 months for the first cycle and from 6 to 12 months for the recurring cycle. In addition, the Ministry of Transport also proposed that the Government delay the time of sanctioning transport enterprises that do not install surveillance cameras due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. Regarding the proposal to exempt road maintenance fees until the end of this year, Mr. Ngoc said that in order to remove difficulties for those affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, Circular 112/2020 of the Ministry of Finance allows to reduce collect road user fees from January 1 to June 30, 2021. “The Ministry of Transport has proposed to the Government to reduce value-added tax to 0%, reduce 50% of corporate income tax for industries seriously damaged by the epidemic. Besides, delay payment of tax amount for 6 months for 6 months. arrears until December 31, 2021 and there is no fee for parking, parking and picking up passengers at the airport, train station, port and 50% discount on service prices through the bus station for passenger cars. sign for new registered vehicles for transport business until December 31,” said Mr. Ngoc. It is still difficult to access support policies As a large passenger transport enterprise in Quang Ninh province, Mr. Doan The Xuyen, director of Phuc Xuyen Co., Ltd., said that the company has over 300 vehicles that have stopped working but still have not been exempted from road maintenance fees because of cumbersome procedures. . For example, to be exempted under the regulations of the Ministry of Finance, the vehicle must stop working for 30 days or more, then return the badge and be certified by the Department of Transport. “You can stop for less than 30 days to be able to run again, then you have to apply for a new badge. Many businesses still have to pay even though the car is not running because they are afraid of procedures,” said Xuyen.

Sharing with ICTnews this afternoon, June 10, a representative of Viettel confirmed, according to information from the operator of the undersea optical cable routes, on May 11 and May 25, two routes APG and AAE-1 have crashes in turn. Specifically, on May 11, a problem occurred on the S6 segment of the APG undersea cable line. The location of the cable problem is about 352 to 355 km from the TKO docking station in Hong Kong, China. The cause of the problem was determined to be a “shunt fault” but did not cause service disruption. The cable route management unit has mobilized the ship and started to carry out maintenance to fix the fault on the APG cable line from June 6 and is expected to be completed tomorrow, June 11. During the repair period, it will disrupt all services to and from Hong Kong, China of APG project member partners. The APG route is invested by four Vietnamese carriers, VNPT, Viettel, FPT and CMC. The incident occurred on May 25 on the S1H.1 segment of the AAE-1 cable line, which is expected to be fixed from June 22 to July 13 (Artwork: Internet) With the AAE-1 undersea cable, according to Internet service providers (ISPs) in Vietnam, the incident occurred on May 25 on the FP10 pair of the S1H.1 segment, far from the Cape D’Aguilar landing station. , HongKong, China about 2,072 km towards the port of Vung Tau, Vietnam. The cause of the problem was a fiber break, which partially disrupted the service to Hong Kong on the FP10 pair. The plan to overcome the problem that occurred on May 25 on the S1H.1 segment of the AAE-1 international undersea fiber optic cable has also been announced to ISPs in Vietnam, expected to start from June 22. and completed on 7/13. The fact that sea cable incidents occurred at the same time in the past time has affected the international connection capacity of telecommunications service providers in Vietnam. This is a common problem affecting all network operators and Internet service providers in Vietnam. However, according to a Viettel representative, the level of influence of this network operator is the lowest because before the sea cable incident, Viettel actively planned, routed, allocated and supplemented capacity, including capacity. redundancy on international connection cables to ensure the quality of service provided to customers. When an incident occurred, Viettel immediately implemented a routing plan, optimized and added capacity on other undersea cable routes including: TGN-IA towards Hong Kong and Singapore; APG heading to Singapore; AAE-1 goes to France as well as prepares land cable resources for international connections to ensure quality service for customers. “Viettel is continuing to work with the Management Board, operating the APG, AAE-1 undersea cable lines and the NEC contractor to have continuous updates on the plan to repair the above incidents. In case of difficulty accessing, customers contact Viettel via the switchboard 18008119 to find out the exact cause and support the fastest, “a Viettel representative said. Previously, talking to ICTnews, other carriers said that they had carried out load balancing, redirected connections to other undersea cable routes as well as some land cables to ensure the quality of service provided to customers. row. Specifically, CMC Telecom has increased capacity through the cable direction across Southeast Asia (A-Grid), connecting the Internet from Vietnam to Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. VNPT has actively navigated and loaded other cable directions that are operating stably such as CSC, AAG, IA, SMW3… Besides, VNPT is also actively coordinating with relevant units and partners to thoroughly check and fix international Internet connection problems.

Landmark 81 has a total of 81 floors, 461 m high. This is the tallest building in Vietnam, located in the center of Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. The maintenance and technical maintenance of the entire building is performed daily by the management team and staff. Anh Vu – the technical manager of the Landmark 81 building, said that the technical team often had quick briefings early in the morning to determine the arising work to do during the day. At the same time, the technical status of the building, the work done in the previous day must be reported in detail. After that, the group of employees moved to the 79th floor of the building. This is the highest floor accessible by elevator. After that, people will walk up to the 80th and 81st floors (top floor) of the building to do their assigned work. Check the building’s power supply system. All electrical specifications must ensure safety conditions in accordance with regulations. Technical staff use specialized temperature gauges to check the heat at conductor structures and power-using equipment on the 80th floor. This is a routine job to promptly detect problems and limit problems. minimize the risk of accidental fire or explosion. A group of workers periodically maintain the glass. To do this, the worker must move on specialized rigs, in turn, check all the glass panes. The outer glass of the building is reinforced with special materials, ensuring safety and durability. Workers check a building’s cooling system. The staff checks the operating parameters of the elevator. “The building is tall, the elevator is an indispensable element in the operation. We understand this, so we should pay attention to the daily maintenance and technical maintenance, so that the elevator does not cause problems,” said Mr. Vu. to speak. The elevator of Landmark 81 building has a pulling force of 12,500 kg, each car has a load of 2,000 kg, a speed of 5m/s – is one of the fastest elevators in Vietnam. “Working on high-rise buildings requires us to have good health and overcome specific limitations. For example, when it comes to glass maintenance, every worker must overcome fear, focus on work and comply with all protection principles to ensure safety,” said Quang Trung, a technical staff member. Periodic inspection and technical maintenance is carried out in the early morning hours, or when people take a lunch break. Troubleshooting was also implemented urgently. This helps the building operate in a safe condition, and at the same time does not affect the activities of residents, merchants and visitors. In the photo is a visitor visiting the observatory on the 81st floor of the building on April 11. When put into operation in July 2018, the Landmark 81 building has become one of the symbols of Ho Chi Minh City. Inside the building, service-commercial activities take place quite bustling, contributing to the driving force to promote the development of the city in the direction of civilization and modernity.

Although it is summer, Quang Ninh tourism is “frozen” due to the influence of the Covid-19 epidemic. Ha Long international passenger ship port these days seems to be more crowded, because hundreds of ships are anchored at the same time. The scenery is beautiful but gloomy because all the ships are lying on the shore. From May 6, due to the extremely complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, Quang Ninh province has suspended all sightseeing and tourism activities at tourist sites, tourist attractions, relics and scenic spots on the island. locality. Ha Long Bay has about 500 cruise ships operating, but now from ships serving day visitors to overnight cruises worth hundreds of billions of dollars, all are subject to dormant anchorage at the wharf. No longer crowded with tourists, the harbor is deserted. It is estimated that before the pandemic, there were peak days when Ha Long Bay welcomed nearly 20,000 visitors. Many weekends in the summer of last year, the number of visitors has also recovered. Bai Chay tourist area is equally deserted. Along with tightening 5K, Quang Ninh has also asked to stop many non-essential services, making the streets even more deserted. While a number of large hotels have chosen to temporarily close at the beginning of the year, many small and medium hotels are still operating in moderation. “The travel stop is necessary to prevent the epidemic, we also have to adapt by letting employees take a break, then selling online,” said the owner of a restaurant. At the weekend, people came to Bai Chay beach to admire the scenery, some people still went to the beach to swim despite the regulations to suspend beach activities, not to gather crowds on the beach, and the loudspeakers continuously warned. The border of the sea is mainly local people going to exercise, complying with wearing masks to prevent epidemics. At Tuan Chau Tourist Area, the port area to welcome guests is also no longer a shadow of ships coming in and out. Previously, after the outbreak of the epidemic in early 2021, from about March, tourism activities in Quang Ninh returned, but the number of visitors was not large. Many ships in a state of “not being able to restart yet were lying ashore”. “The ship doesn’t go to sea but still has to maintain maintenance and lookout personnel, the bank debt also keeps increasing,” a ship owner lamented. Tens of thousands of direct and indirect workers in the tourism industry in Quang Ninh are also having to quit, relax, and struggle to wait for the end of the epidemic.

In addition to depending on the preferences of the homeowner, according to architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects), homeowners need to pay attention to the following three factors: The first step is the selection of plant varieties Most urban houses are narrow tube townhouses, the area for the garden is also limited, so choose tree varieties with pile roots (the roots are not too massive, less horizontal growth affects the structure of the building). Plants often lose their leaves and many people, although they like nature, are afraid to sweep leaves because of their busy schedule. Meanwhile, sweeping leaves is also a tree care job, people who love taking care of trees, nature will love this job. However, when the homeowner does not have much time, it is still possible to grow houseplants with varieties of plants with few leaves or less falling or falling seasonally such as peach fairy, sesame buds, Taiwanese eagle … Depending on the preferences and nature of the project, homeowners can choose tree varieties for shade, fruit trees, beautiful flowering trees, shrubs, etc. Therefore, homeowners need to pay attention to coordinate for harmony, have parents. Reasonable arrangement, avoid planting too many varieties causing confusion and confusion. For example, a large tree with beautiful shape or beautiful flowers like star fruit and longan needs space and space to be able to exploit the beauty, avoid planting many varieties of trees that are crowded or obscured. The accompanying plants should be low trees, not too prominent in color or just gravel to clean the area below the tree. If you mix shrubs, you need to choose 3-4 varieties, don’t choose too many or you will get confused. Priority is given to varieties with beautiful leaves, larger size to make the main point, the rest are varieties with small leaves or different leaf shapes and colors to honor the main tree. Arrange trees and shrubs in Wall house (CTA|Creative Architects). The second is the planting location The location should be well-lit, ventilated and spaced enough to ensure the growth needs of the tree as well as a place with a good location. The planting locations are usually arranged in the front, backyard or atrium, skylight to meet the above requirements as well as increase the aesthetics of the building. In addition, for large plants, it is required to avoid positions such as beams and large beams because of structural safety factors. In addition, homeowners need to have techniques for planting planting holes to avoid the influence of tree roots on the construction. The requirements for waterproofing and drainage for the plant location also need to be considered when intending to grow plants indoors and need professional advice to ensure technical factors. Finally, homeowners need to pay attention to maintenance Trees need to be cared for and easily replaced if damaged or dead or the owner’s needs. Besides good drainage, the plant also needs to be watered and fertilized regularly. From maintenance requirements, the location of plants may have to be changed to suit reality. Homeowners should install a smart automatic irrigation system to reduce watering and bathing while still enjoying the lush nature in the house.

Like any other essential appliance, to function properly, an air conditioner needs regular maintenance. However, many families forget this. Maintaining your air conditioner both saves money and keeps your home cool. It is best to refer to the maintenance schedule recommended by the air conditioner manufacturer. You won’t have to spend a lot of money every year. Using the wrong ceiling fan Most homes have a ceiling fan, but there are many families that don’t make the most of it. Many people think that ceiling fans are not equal to air conditioners. But ceiling fans can cool a home if used correctly. Installing ceiling fans in important areas of the house will help the air conditioner circulate cool air throughout the house. Also, if your home only uses the air conditioner when necessary, try setting the ceiling fan to rotate counterclockwise to push the air down into the house and create a cool breeze instead of just circulating the air. hot. In addition, installing an outdoor ceiling fan will help family members have a fun and cool outdoor dining and relaxing space. Open the curtains during the day Opening the curtains during the day is a great way to take advantage of the sun’s natural light. But UV rays can raise indoor temperatures, especially during the summer. Keep the curtains closed until the sun goes down. You can buy sunshades, curtains or handy window shades to let light into your home but not heat it up. Use the oven regularly For housewives, the oven is a necessary tool. However, using the oven frequently can make the house hotter. Best in the summer, you should limit the use of the oven.

Mr. Pham Van Thuong (Nam Yet Lighthouse) cleans and maintains the “magic eye” The “divine eyes” During the voyage, every time the ship 571 anchored to the shore while it was still dark, the only thing for us to know the island’s location was from the light of the Lighthouse, also known as the “magic eye”. According to a sailor, currently on the islands and points of Truong Sa island, there are 9 lighthouses in Da Lat, An Bang, Da Tay, Tien Nu, Song Tu Tay, Truong Sa Lon, Sinh Ton, Son Ca and Nam Yet islands. . All 9 lighthouses are operated and maintained by engineers, officers and employees of the East Sea and Islands Maritime Safety Company. The construction of the lighthouse station on the islands was started when the international shipping route expanded at sea and to meet the requirements of protecting the Fatherland in the new situation. In particular, Song Tu Tay lighthouse was first built on the archipelago (1993), 17 nautical miles away from which ships can see bright white lights, single blinking every 15 seconds. The construction of the Lighthouse depends on the geology and coral background. On Song Tu Tay island, the lighthouse is built in the shape of a circular tower in the east of the island; The lighthouse on Da Lat island is built in the shape of an arrow on a coral background, has an iron and steel structure with flower slanting holes to reduce the acceleration of the wind, while the lighthouse on Son Ca island has a cylindrical shape… Son Ca island lighthouse stands tall like a fortress, standing tall in the middle of the ocean and is considered the most beautiful lighthouse in the 9 lighthouses in the Truong Sa archipelago. Tran Van Chien – Head of Son Ca Lighthouse said: “Son Ca lighthouse is 28m high, 25.5m bright center, group 2 white flash, 10 seconds period, 15 nautical miles effective range. During the day, in good weather, dozens of nautical miles away from passing ships can be seen. The lighthouse operates from 5:30 p.m. the previous day to 5:30 a.m. the next morning. On a day with thunderstorms, fog, or bad weather, the lights must be turned on earlier and turned off later. When there is a problem, the main light is damaged, the auxiliary light will be turned on for replacement and the main lamp must be repaired immediately. Under no circumstances shall the Lighthouse be turned off. Because the lighthouse is not only a landmark for ships operating in the area, but also a light of national sovereignty at sea. The “lighters” With the task of not letting the Lighthouse be turned off under any circumstances, engineers, officers and employees of the East Sea and Islands Maritime Safety Company must work day and night. The environment is harsh, often in contact with batteries, acids, mechanical equipment, and conductive objects, but they always fulfill their noble duties. They are considered to be diligent “lighters”, so that the flame of love for their homeland and country always shines. Their idyllic work is a silent sacrifice, the Lighthouse shines with time, which means that their hair is partly gray because of the sun and wind. Son Ca Lighthouse Station Mr. Pham Van Thuong (SN 1990, Nam Yet Lighthouse Station) worked for 4 years in the profession and went to 6 islands to do his duty. “Due to saltwater contamination, the lighthouses are often rusted, if not maintained continuously, the lights are easy to catch fire. Whether it’s scorching sun or howling wind and rain, we have to climb to the top of the lamp post for periodic cleaning and maintenance. At a height of tens of meters, it only takes a small mistake to have an accident. When the sea is rough, at the lighthouse stations on the island, the waves hit the ground floor. Every 15 minutes, the brothers have to take turns on duty to check the technical parameters. Now there is solar power, so it’s less difficult, but before, it was very tiring to use the generator to generate electricity. It was an opportunity for me to come to the profession,” said Pham Van Thuong. The “magic eye” is never allowed to turn off, because it is lit from the hearts of all officers and employees of the Stations and the naval soldiers guarding the rooster of the Fatherland on a remote island… As a senior in the profession of “lighting lighthouses” for more than 24 years, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tuan (SN 1976, Song Tu Tay Lighthouse Station) has celebrated Tet more than 15 times on the island. Mr. Tuan confided: “Working in harsh climates and poor conditions, although it is hard, it has trained me more will and bravery. I am proud to work in Truong Sa. Looking at the bright lights in the black sky, I feel that my country is too sacred. Each flash is the breath and life of the person lighting the fire. To do this job, you must love the job, love the sea and islands of the homeland to complete the task well.” Mr. Bui Van Son (Chief of Sinh Ton Lighthouse Station) is considered an ancient tree of lighthouse stations in Truong Sa. With a period of more than 25 years, Mr. Son has gone to all 9 stations, with the lighthouse he went to for the fifth time. “Each station has its own look, different facilities and conditions. As the station chief, I had to balance the food, calculate how it was reasonable, and then call the mainland to buy what’s urgent so that my brothers and sisters would be less needy. In addition to regulating the work in the station, I often capture the emotional feelings of the staff, timely motivate, help people overcome difficulties. Along with carrying out the task of training and practicing island defense plans, contributing to strengthening the island’s combat strength when situations arise, sports and cultural exchanges are also maintained. We all came together very naturally, the brothers on the station lived more together than with their families,” said Mr. Son. Lighthouse lights run on solar power and automatically turn on and off when it gets dark, but always ensure that the engine and generator operate normally in all conditions, especially prolonged rainstorms. Salt vapor and sea breeze easily damage machinery and technical equipment, so officers and employees must regularly check, preserve and maintain equipment on the station. The “magic eye” is never allowed to turn off, because it is lit from the hearts of every officer, station staff and the navy soldiers guarding the rooster of the Fatherland on a remote island…

According to the latest reports, the number of F-35 fighters in service with the US Air Force, now surpassing all other aircraft of this force, rose to second place – after injections. click F-16. Specifically, with a squadron of F-35 fighters up to 283 aircraft, the number of F-35s of the US Air Force has surpassed both the F-15 and F-10 – two types of backbone aircraft of this force. throughout the decades. The single-engine F-16 fighter with the advantage of low maintenance costs and low operating costs is still the most popular fighter in the US Air Force. Specifically, the US Air Force owns 934 F-16 fighters. This number of F-16s will be gradually replaced by F-35 fighter jets in the future. Designed to be a mixed-attack fighter and strike aircraft, the US F-35 is capable of replacing all other fighters currently in service with this force. However, while the F-35 is being finalized and corrected for hundreds of defects, it still cannot become the backbone of the US Air Force at the present time. In fact, the heavy F-15 fighter jets still have a dominant position in the US Air Force’s bombardments if there is a war. The latest version of the F-15 is the F-15EX, which was rushed into service by this force shortly after making its first flight earlier this year. It is expected that until the 40s of this century, the F-15 will still serve in the US Air Force. As for the A-10 fighter jet, this type of aircraft that is nearly half a century old is still considered “without a worthy substitute”. The failure of the US Air Force to develop a serial version of the A-10 is simply because the aircraft is currently too efficient, and effective enough, until the F-35 comes into its own. future. Up to the present time, the US Air Force owns 279 A-10 Warthog attack aircraft in service. However, only about 60% of these are qualified to fight, the rest need constant revolving maintenance. The US Air Force expects the entire A-10 strike group to be phased out gradually from 2032, even sooner if there are serious accidents in the future. By that point, the F-35 would have to be completed to take the place of the A-10. Photo source: BI. The US is producing F-35 fighters at breakneck speed, both for domestic service and for delivery to allied countries as planned. Source: Chosul.

Professional solar battery cleaning worker for a project in the city. Ho Chi Minh Meanwhile, according to engineer Thanh, the current method of cleaning the panels is mostly done by investors, most of them are using water, available facilities and using a hose to wash them, this method is not technically correct. in terms of maintenance, because many areas have water contaminated with alum, hard water, there is a lot of organic matter, more dissolved metals… leading to further damage to the panels. “The effectiveness of the project apart from equipment, materials, installation techniques, the operation and maintaining the efficiency of the system is related to the cleaning of the panels. Keeping the panels clean is the key to maximizing output, increasing economic efficiency for investors, ”Thanh said. Solar power is booming in Vietnam, especially household investment packages, concentrated in remote and island areas in the South. According to the Vietnam Electricity (EVN), by the end of 2020, the total capacity of renewable energy sources will be 17,430 MW (up 11,780 MW compared to 2019) and accounting for 25.3%. . In which, there are about 8,000 MW of rooftop solar power and more than 8,400 MW of large farm solar power. Thus, according to investors’ calculations, the whole country currently has no less than 30 million solar panels operating in the whole system and will increase when many projects are under construction and about to be operational. Seeing this potential, a number of businesses in the South have added new services, which are professional cleaning of solar panels and package maintenance for solar power systems. the investors. Mr. Le Tran Khanh Vy – General Director of Nhat Hung Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (Thu Duc City) – said that in the face of more and more investors installing solar equipment, the company opened more professional solar battery cleaning service, currently hundreds of customers across the country have signed contracts to participate in cleaning and maintaining solar power systems with this package. To meet the needs of customers, especially solar power investment packages in industrial form, the company is forced to professionalize by producing standard cleaning solutions, investing in specialized cleaning equipment. and has a team of professional staff in charge. “The solution that the company offers is to keep batteries clean by cleaning them regularly and properly; Check the water source, if the water source is contaminated with alum, hard water, contains a lot of organic matter, lots of dissolved metals, it must be handled; choosing a cleaning solution specialized for cleaning panels, because now there are domestically produced products with appropriate and safe prices, ”said Mr. Vy. On the market, there are specialized solutions for cleaning solar cells According to electricity experts, at present, many solar power projects are invested billions of dong, even more money, but the stage of battery cleaning and system maintenance is less concerned by investors properly. This leads to a reduced lifespan of the building, especially the heat collection efficiency of the panels is low, while if cleaned and maintained properly, the economic efficiency is not small. Mr. Huynh Duc Tien, living in Hoc Mon district, city. Ho Chi Minh has just signed a package contract with a company specializing in solar battery cleaning and maintenance of the solar power system with an investment of more than 1.2 billion VND nearly 2 years ago. Mr. Tien said that the cleaning company has specialized solutions, tools and techniques, so it is handed over to them for management because the cost is not much and it saves time.

The brake pad is a part that needs to be replaced periodically Ask: I am using a 2010 Volkswagen Scirocco. Lately when I step on the brake pedal, the pedal is deeper than when I first bought it. Is it a sign of brake wear and must be replaced? Le Huyen Chi (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi) Reply: Based on the conditions described initially, it is possible to predict that the brake pads of the vehicle are worn out and it is time to replace them to ensure safety. For vehicles, brake pads are a very important part of reducing vehicle speed, ensuring safety. If the brake pads are worn deeply, it will directly affect the slowdown or stop the vehicle. How fast or slow the brake pads wear depends on the way each person runs. However, the brake pads will wear out faster when used by a car in crowded cities, where the brakes are always pressed, constantly checking due to traffic congestion. Conversely, if the road is open, wide, less using the brake, the brake pads will wear longer. Some signs of discernible brake pads wear such as: Brake pedal often hits the floor, when the brake has phenomenon of vehicle or steering wheel shaking, hissing noise or metal sounds colliding due to worn brake pads … Then, it can be found through the brake warning lights that light up on the dashboard. It is recommended that the brake pads need to be replaced periodically, usually for 2 years or 50,000km, whichever comes first. If you regularly check the brake or move continuously in crowded road conditions, the time to replace this part will be sooner. However, because the safety system is very important, when there are strange signs related to the brake system, it is best to immediately take the car to a warranty center, genuine maintenance or a reputable garage for inspection. and soonest remedy.

The price is easy to access, the maintenance cost is only 1/3 of a gasoline car Launched on March 24, VinFast VF e34 has an official selling price of VND 690 million, but for customers who ordered before June 30, 2021, the Vietnamese car company offers a special preferential price of only VND 590 million. Includes one-year free battery subscription. This is considered an accessible price for first-time car buyers, young families in big cities in Vietnam. Mr. Tuan Phong (30 years old) ordered VinFast VF e34 just one day after the car was introduced. He said, with outstanding technology such as electric motors, smart features and attractive pre-set price of only 590 million VND and extremely “open” pre-order policy, VF e34 persuaded him to “down money”. without any hesitation. “The battery rental policy that makes the car price more accessible is the first reasonable one. The second is an immediate incentive of 100 million dong for early booking, and the third one is a deposit of only 10 million dong and can be freely refunded / canceled / transferred without penalty, so I have no reason. to hesitate “, Mr. Phong said. According to Mr. Phong, young people often like “delicious-nutritious-cheap” cars because their financial resources are not abundant. With the same amount of VND 590 million, in addition to the VF e34, customers cannot even buy a standard B-class SUV, only a few high-end versions of B-class sedans. Meanwhile, VF e34 Being a model in the higher-end C-segment is clearly a bargain. For young people who buy a car for the first time, owning a car is still vague when it comes to solving some concerns such as the cost of buying a car, maintenance, repair, fuel and parking. Mr. Tuan Phong admitted this, thinking that he was no exception, so he decided to buy an electric car. According to him, VinFast VF e34 not only has the most competitive price in the market, but also has a much more optimal cost-effectiveness than traditional cars. “The cost of electric fuel is cheaper than gasoline, of course. Worth mentioning here is that the maintenance cost of VinFast VF e34 is only 25% -30% of gasoline cars due to its simpler structure, ”said Phong. According to calculations, the total maintenance cost for electric cars after the first 40,000 km is only about 4.4 million VND, and only costs about 12.7 million VND for 120,000 km. Not only that, with VF e34, early customers who order early are also free 17.4 million dong of battery subscription fee in the first year. Overflowing with technology Attractive price does not mean VinFast VF e34 has reduced features, but instead, the car is fully equipped with “toys” and is connected to a smart management application. Through the application, users can update vehicle software, perform many tasks such as checking battery status, travel schedule, maintenance schedule, call for rescue, warning of theft risk, vehicle positioning, error diagnosis … Young customers will also be pleased with the cabin compartment equipped with a 10-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, 6 audio speakers and 2 driver-row USB ports to connect or charge electrical devices. death. The air-conditioning system integrates the air quality control function with the fine dust filter HEPA PM2.5 which is also an advantage for the current air pollution. In addition, the voice control feature to support Vietnamese for multi-regional adaptation is also expected. List of long-term safety technologies, including ABS anti-lock braking, BA emergency brake assist, EBD electronic brake force distribution, ESC electronic balance, HSA horizontal start assist, 360 surveillance camera , lane departure warning, blind spot warning, traffic flow warning until door opening, vehicle warning when reversing, front and rear sensor, tire pressure monitoring, automatic throttle, 6 airbags … Help VinFast VF e34 achieve the highest safety standards. Environmental friendliness Growing up with the Internet, Generation Y and Z (Gen Y – Gen Z) are well aware of the urgency of protecting the environment. Many young people are gradually changing to choose means of using electric energy to limit the impact on the living environment. In the opinion that electric cars are not actually too good for the environment compared to traditional cars, due to the generation of electricity and batteries emitting a lot of CO2, the leading renewable energy company in the UK EDF Energy protested. Accordingly, even with more emissions in the current production process, electric cars are still a “greener” option than traditional cars when taking into account the vehicle lifecycle. That is not to mention that it will be easier and more efficient to treat the waste from the centralized battery production / recycling process in a closed process than to worry about a series of internal combustion engine vehicles discharging every day. . Technology to produce electricity and batteries is also developing and changing day by day, so emissions from manufacturing will be improved positively in the near future. According to EDF Energy, the biggest benefit of electric cars is improved air quality in large cities. Without exhaust pipes, electric cars have absolutely no NOx, HC, CO, CO2 emissions – a combination of exhaust gases that seriously affects human health and living environment. Simply put, electric cars are the foundation for cleaner and cleaner cities and roads. Another fairly common myth is that lithium-ion batteries are as toxic as lead batteries. In fact, lithium-ion batteries are safer, causing less harm to the environment or human health. At the same time, lithium-ion batteries are also of high economic value, so they will be collected, recycled and reused instead of being disposed of as lead batteries, so the risk of environmental pollution is also minimized. In particular, the solution to renting batteries instead of “selling off” cars with batteries to customers will help manufacturers like VinFast better manage the amount of batteries circulating in the market, ensuring that they will not be disposed of indiscriminately, causing harmful to the environment.

According to Mr. Vu Anh Minh, Chairman of Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR), when transferring to the State Capital Management Committee at enterprises, the industry is still tasked with operating and exploiting the entire structural system. railway infrastructure. But the railway infrastructure is under the management of the Ministry of Transport, which leads to a situation of “head going, feet remaining”. Use maintenance money According to previous regulations, at the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Transport carried out the assignment of the budget capital estimates to the VNR. After that, the unit will place an order for public services with 20 affiliated companies to perform the railway maintenance. On December 31st, the company organized to take over and check assets to continue the maintenance cycle of next year. From 2019, VNR transferred to the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises, no longer under the Ministry of Transport, so this ministry did not continue to assign capital to non-industry units. Therefore, in 2020, VNR once called for help because it was not assigned capital. Then, based on the resolution of the Government, the Ministry of Transport temporarily assigns capital to VNR to carry out the maintenance. However, by 2021, the plan to assign VND 2,800 billion to any maintenance unit has not been removed. The reason is that the project on management, use and exploitation of national railway infrastructure assets made by the Ministry of Transport has not been approved after many submission to the Prime Minister because of differences in opinion. Specifically, the Ministry of Justice believes that the fact that the Ministry of Transport assigns the maintenance cost estimates to the VNR for implementation is not contrary to the current law. At the same time, there is no need to go through unnecessary intermediaries, slow down the progress of the mission, directly affect the safety of the train. “If assigned to the Railway Bureau, there will be many problems such as inconsistent with the Law on Railways …” – The Ministry of Justice stated. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance believes that the assignment of budget estimates for railway management and maintenance to VNR is not in accordance with the provisions of the State Budget Law in Clause 1, Article 49. On this basis, the Ministry of Transport proposed the Government to hand over money for railway maintenance to the Railway Administration, and then return it to the VNR according to the comments of the Ministry of Finance. However, VNR does not agree with this plan. The profit that VNR has will be paid to the budget and annually the budget will allocate about 2,800 billion VND for railway system maintenance. Photo: V.LONG According to which law is reasonable? According to Mr. Vu Anh Minh, currently all railways in countries around the world, the ownership, management, maintenance, and operation of national railway infrastructure assets invested by the State are allotted to businesses. state industry implementation. State-owned enterprises directly manage, maintain, trade in properties and operate. State management agencies do not directly manage, exploit and trade assets, but only properly perform state management functions such as policy making, planning, inspection, and inspection of the implementation of management. property management, exploitation and trading … Currently, VNR is managing 3,143 km of railways passing through 34 provinces and cities. In order to maintain this entire infrastructure, the VNR must organize an asset management system from the parent company level to the member units and the majority shareholding companies. Currently, the industry has 11,315 employees. In which, 1,241 labors of bridge week, road patrol, tunnel week; 915 workers indirectly perform the task of planning and cost estimating the maintenance of the works …; 6,278 maintenance work and quality management of maintenance work; 2,881 employees on duty guarding the crossroads to ensure train operation safety. Therefore, the proposal of the Ministry of Transport will break the consistency between the management and maintenance activities of railway infrastructure with the safety of train operation and railway transport business, delaying the operation. to mobilize railway transport, to eliminate railway transport. “Because then VNR will have to operate railway transportation in the condition that the national infrastructure system is divided, lack of synchronous coordination due to too many entities to manage and operate. This will break the principle of “unification, concentration” – the most basic and key principle in railway transport activities of the railway ever since … “- Mr. Minh said. Meanwhile, Mr. Le Hoang Minh, Director of the Department of Transport Infrastructure (Ministry of Transport), said that the Ministry of Transport’s implementation of the budget for the maintenance of the national railway system to the Railway Administration is is implementing in accordance with the current provisions of the State Budget Law 2020. “The Ministry of Transport must base on the current regulations, can not arbitrarily do any problems without grounds” – Mr. Le Hoang Minh emphasized. The fact that the units leading the Railway Law 2017 stipulate a number of powers for the VNR, including the authority to manage and maintain the national railway infrastructure, Mr. Minh affirmed the budget and financial issues. The main law is to comply with the State Budget Law (general law), while the 2017 Railway Law is a specialized law. However, according to an expert, it is necessary to apply the law in a flexible way, to completely solve this problem, how to create the most favorable conditions for railway maintenance, to avoid people thinking that there is Money is scrambled. “With the package of railway infrastructure maintenance, I think that it is reasonable to assign it to the VNR, if it is assigned to the Railway Bureau through many unnecessary intermediaries, there may be a mechanism for asking – giving …” or. • Invite 20 units but can not sign the contract yet According to the report of the Vietnam Railway Administration, after being assigned with the plan and estimate by the Ministry of Transport, in January 2021, the department drafted a contract to order railway infrastructure maintenance. The Department has invited 20 maintenance units to negotiate and sign orders for orders, but so far the units do not sign contracts. The reason is that VNR, which currently accounts for more than 50% of equity in these companies, does not agree to the member units to sign contracts with the Railway Administration. This is the reason why the contract negotiation has been delayed. “Therefore, the information that the Ministry of Transport and the Vietnam Railway Administration do not assign budget estimates to the VNR and its member units is not the correct nature” – Mr. Le Hoang Minh informed.

After 2 years of trial planting, the red leaf maple trees planted on the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung routes grew poorly or died dry due to not suitable for Hanoi’s climate.

As reported, Hanoi City People’s Committee Office has just issued Document No. 2788 / VP-DT (dated 2-4-2021) announcing the direction of Vice Chairman of the City People’s Committee Duong Duc Tuan on the replacement plan. The maple tree position is tested on the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung street.

According to Deputy Director of Hanoi Construction Department Nguyen The Cong, 262 maple trees were tested from 2018 on the median strip of Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung streets, donated to the city by Tan Dai Duong Investment Joint Stock Company. After 2 years, it initially showed that the tree was not adapted to the climatic conditions of Hanoi. 45 trees died, 217 trees lived but poor growth and development. After a while, leaves are wilted, branches and branches are dry and often pests and diseases, affecting the street landscape. In order to ensure the landscape, synchronize the system of green trees, meet the aesthetic and urban beauty of the road, the Department has proposed the City People’s Committee to switch the maple tree and plant it to replace it with a small leaf almond tree.

The planting of new tree systems will be carried out in April 2021 and completed before the holidays April 30 and May 1, 2021.

Later, the tree species is easily confused with red leaf maple

Facing the fact that the red leaf maple goods on the Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route die or grow poorly due to the lack of adaptability to the climate conditions of Hanoi … some people wonder why the maple is grown at the Diplomatic Corps (Xuan Tao, Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi) is green again, in winter, trees turn red leaves beautifully?

Many people mistakenly think that the following trees after planting in the Diplomatic Corps are red-leaf maple because of their maple leaf shape and the ability to turn red in winter.

Answering the above question, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dang Van Ha, Director of the Institute of Landscape Architecture and Urban Greenery, Forestry University affirmed that the crops grown in the Diplomatic Corps area are not red-leaf maple, but tree follows. This native species of Vietnam is being planted widely, from North to South because it has good growth and development, especially in urban areas. In Hue, the latter has been planted for a long time, many trees with a diameter of 60-70cm.

In Hanoi, in addition to the Diplomatic Corps, the latter is also grown in the West Lake, the area of ​​the Korean Embassy, ​​the regulating lake of the Exchange City urban area … The following trees are growing green. well, trunk diameter 20-30 cm, about 6-7 m high.

“The posterior leaves are shaped quite like maple leaves. In winter, they change from green to dark yellow and red, so many people easily confuse them. However, just based on the leaf lobe it is possible to distinguish 2 species. Specifically, the posterior leaves split into 3 lobes and the maple leaf has 5-6 lobes. In addition, the maple tree has no fruit, while the posterior fruit has many soft, pointed spines ”, Assoc. Analysis by Dr. Dang Van Ha.

However, according to experts, just based on the leaf and fruit lobes can easily distinguish these two plants.

According to Mr. Ha, later it can be planted well in urban areas, parks, sidewalks, medians … Trees not only have the ability to grow well, but create beautiful landscapes thanks to the characteristic turning the color of leaves to red. . Young shoots that sprout up right after the leaves fall, are also fancy pink. According to the Institute’s observations for many years, plants do not have pests and diseases affecting humans. After about 50-60 years of growth, the tree has the phenomenon of aging, so it should be noted that dry branches are pruned.

Small leaf wing, why is preferred?

According to both plans to replace the red leaf maple row on the Nguyen Chi Thanh – Tran Duy Hung route, small leaves are selected. Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Deputy Director of the Department of Maintenance of Urban Technical Infrastructure (Department of Construction of Hanoi), said that the small leaf eagle has been experimentally planted for a long time and brings beautiful landscapes on many streets in the city. Hanoi like Dao Tan, Nguyen Khanh Toan, Kim Ma … Through monitoring, the tree grows and develops well and stably. In particular, this plant has very few pests and diseases, is less prone to breakage during storms, and does not take care of and pruning.

Small leaf balm has been planted for a long time and has adapted well, creating a beautiful landscape for Hanoi.

According to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dang Van Ha, small leaf eagle, also known as Taiwanese eagle, is a suitable crop in urban areas as well as in many other places. Tree has the advantage of strong root system, less breakage, flexible stem and branches.

“Small leaf balm was imported abroad into our country about 20 years ago, and grown in many provinces throughout the country, including Hanoi. Plants are easy to propagate, grow well, do not pick up soil, and can be grown both in dry places and high water levels. Trees give good shade in the summer. In the southern provinces, in the dry season, the tree often loses its leaves. However, in the North, the tree also loses its leaves, but only for a short time and produces young leaves immediately. Because the small leaf almond root has “floating” properties, it should be considered when planting in narrow streets, which do not affect the quality of the pavement “, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dang Van Ha said.

For the people of Hanoi, the rows of small green-leafed almond trees planted for many years have become familiar and captured the hearts of many people by the beautiful landscape trees. The trunk grows straight, branches grow horizontally or form to create circular, interwoven canopy, creating shade. The leaf is shiny green and gradually darkens over time, the deciduous time is very short.

There are many suitable advantages that help the small leaf eagle to be selected as a priority for urban crops.

The trial planting of new species of trees in Hanoi is completely normal in order to supplement and enrich the urban greenery system, which plays a very important role in improving and improving the quality of life for the people. However, before trials showed that new species of trees have not been adapted, the replacement with more suitable species is necessary so that the capital city always maintains green, fresh and urban beauty.

The Ministry of Transport confirmed that the allocation of budget estimates for the maintenance of the national railway system to the Vietnam Railway Administration is in compliance with the provisions of the State Budget Law 2020. Photo: VNA

Regarding the document No. 803 / BC-ĐS of the Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR), make an urgent petition to the Prime Minister about problems in the management and maintenance of national railway infrastructure; In which, VNR emphasized that the difficulty of funding maintenance of railway infrastructure makes it difficult for the railway industry to stand by the end of April 2021, talking to the Vietnam News Agency on the morning of April 16, Mr. Le Hoang Minh, Director of the Department of Transport Infrastructure affirmed that the Ministry of Transport assigning the budget estimate for the maintenance of the national railway system to the Vietnam Railway Administration is in compliance with regulations. the current Law on State Budget 2020.

Specifically, Mr. Le Hoang Minh said that the Ministry of Transport cannot arbitrarily do any problems if it does not base on the current law provisions. The Ministry of Transport does not have to voluntarily assign it to the Vietnam Railway Administration because in the past (before 2018) when the Vietnam Railways Corporation was under the Ministry of Transport, according to the Law on State Budget, It is normal for the Ministry of Transport to assign the maintenance capital of VNR.

“However, when the State Budget Law 2020 came into existence to replace the old State Budget Law, and at the same time VNR moved to be under the State Capital Management Committee in Enterprises, the Ministry of Transport was only assigned capital to affiliated units. On the other hand, state budget capital is only allocated to specialized management units that the railway sector is assigned to the Vietnam Railway Administration ”, said Mr. Le Hoang Minh.

The Director of the Department of Transport Infrastructure affirmed that the Ministry of Transport is implementing the basis of Clause 5, Article 9; Clause 8 of Article 44 and Clause 1 of Article 49 of the 2020 Law on State Budget to allocate capital to the Vietnam Railway Administration. The Vietnam Railway Administration will then sign a contract to order the maintenance of the national railway infrastructure system with the maintenance units of VNR.

Mr. Le Minh Hoang added that in 2020, the above problem was also encountered when the Ministry of Transport could not hand over maintenance capital to VNR, so the Ministry of Transport and Vietnam Railway Corporation must have a written document. a report to the Government, then to the National Assembly resolutions on this issue; including the content of the Ministry of Transport assigning budget estimates to VNR as 2019 and earlier. In implementing the resolution of the National Assembly, the Government also issued Resolution No. 41 / NQ-CP dated April 9, 2020; including the implementation of the Resolution of the National Assembly. After this resolution, the Ministry of Transport has just assigned the 2020 budget estimate for national railway infrastructure maintenance to the VNR.

“Thus, the key is that if it wants to assign a budget that is different from the current State Budget Law, the agency that promulgates the law must issue a resolution on that matter and the Government must issue a resolution. decided to guide the implementation of the contents of the National Assembly’s resolutions ”, Mr. Le Hoang Minh emphasized.

Regarding the content of maintenance companies that are facing difficulties because they do not have maintenance funds, they have to borrow money from banks to pay workers’ salaries, Mr. Le Hoang Minh once again affirmed that the Ministry of Transport attended The budget estimate for the maintenance of the national railway structure system for the Vietnam Railway Administration is in accordance with the Law on State Budget and if the allocation of this budget estimate to the Vietnam Railway Corporation is inconsistent with the regulations. of the State Budget Law.

Returning to the story of the difficulties that 20 maintenance units of Vietnam Railway Corporation are facing, Mr. Le Hoang Minh said that before December 31, 2020, the Ministry of Transport issued a plan. general maintenance for the whole industry; including the railway industry. At the same time, at this time, the Ministry of Transport has also assigned a budget estimate to the Vietnam Railway Administration.

To implement this estimate, the Vietnam Railway Administration has invited 20 railway maintenance units to negotiate and sign an order contract, but so far these units do not sign a contract with the Vietnam Railway Administration. Male. The important reason that these 20 units cannot sign order contracts with the Vietnam Railway Administration is because the Vietnam Railways Corporation currently accounts for more than 50% of the equity in these companies. a member unit signing a contract with the Vietnam Railway Administration. This is the reason why the contract negotiation has been delayed up to this point.

“Thus, the information that the Ministry of Transport and the Vietnam Railway Administration do not assign the budget estimates to the VNR and its member units is not the correct nature. Currently budget estimates and maintenance plans have been built, funding for the maintenance of national railway infrastructure in 2021 is also under the management of the Ministry of Transport, which means money is ready to transport any. When is the time?

Sharing more, Mr. Le Minh Hoang said that the VNR gave the reason that the 2017 Railway Law stipulates a number of powers for the Vietnam Railway Corporation; including the authority to manage the maintenance of national railway infrastructure. However, it must be confirmed that before November 2018, when the VNR was still under the Ministry of Transport. However, when the VNR is no longer under the Ministry but transferred to the State Capital Management Committee in enterprises, and at the same time the State Budget Law in 2020 comes into being, then the new law must be complied with. Although the 2017 Railway Law is still in effect, the budget and financial matters must comply with the State Budget Law (general law) and the Railway Law 2017 is a specialized law.

Previously, Vietnam Railway Corporation issued document No. 803 / BC-ĐS on April 12, 2021, making an urgent petition to the Prime Minister regarding problems in the management and maintenance of infrastructure. national railway.

According to the above document, VNR said that 3,143 km of railway nationwide are currently assigned to the Vietnam Railway Corporation to directly organize the operation, the collected funds are deducted from the state budget 20%, 80 The remaining% is the Corporation’s revenue which is used to spend on operations for the exploitation organization (labor costs, asset maintenance and maintenance …). The maintenance of railway infrastructure assets must always be associated with train operation because the plan for maintenance and maintenance of railway infrastructure assets depends on the train run chart (both running train and exam. railway infrastructure maintenance).

Document No. 803 / BC-ĐS of VNR also said that the project on management and use of national railway infrastructure assets, submitted by the Ministry of Transport to the Prime Minister up to now, still created a lot. intermediate management level, many administrative procedures in the management, maintenance and exploitation of assets. Especially, to increase licensing and approving subprojects (sub-permits) when proposing a mechanism for assigning maintenance cost estimates to the Vietnam Railway Administration. Because VNR said that the Vietnam Railway Administration is currently only performing the function of advising the Ministry of Transport, not managing the railway infrastructure, if the capital is allocated to this unit before allocating it to the VNR, it will slow down. Late maintenance, congestion.

Representative of the Vietnam Railway Corporation said that according to the annual estimate, the budget capital for railway maintenance is VND 2,800 billion, but so far it has not been assigned. Currently, 20 railway maintenance companies under the Vietnam National Railways Corporation, which are responsible for the maintenance of railway infrastructure systems, owe wages to workers for many months, and have not yet had funds to buy maintenance materials. maintenance …

This is not the first time that Vietnam Railway Corporation has called for help because of the slow allocation of maintenance capital. Before that, in early 2020, the railway industry also had to face the same situation when by the end of February 2020, the Ministry of Transport had not yet been assigned funding for railway maintenance. Then, to resolve this situation, the Ministry of Transport had to temporarily hand over the capital to the Railway Corporation after the Resolution of the National Assembly and the Government to place public service orders with 20 companies. under VNR to promptly ensure the safety of train operation such as maintenance, maintenance, patrol, guarding, signal information system … However, by 2021, the plan to allocate capital to any unit has not been remove.

According to the Vietnam Railway Corporation, the industry currently has 11,315 employees. In which, there are 1,241 workers in bridge week, road patrol, tunnel week; 915 workers indirectly perform the task of planning and cost estimating the maintenance of the works …; 6,278 maintenance work and quality management of maintenance work; 2,881 workers on duty guarding the crossroads to ensure the safety of the train./.

On April 16, the first Pinqi Real Estate Conference was held in the China Ship Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo. At the meeting, the world’s first operational property digital asset management platform-iREAM system was officially released.

On April 16, the world’s first operational property digital asset management platform-iREAM system was officially released.

It is reported that iREAM uses blockchain, AI and other digital technologies to connect real estate investment, transformation, investment promotion, and operation, to create information transparency and build a new integrated platform for commercial property management. Each user can conduct property investment and operation management on the online platform anytime, anywhere.

At present, China’s real estate has entered the “stock era”, and many real estate developers are actively exploring the real estate stock. Available real estate is in the ascendant, and the industry is facing many pain points: the large transaction acquisition process is complex, real estate information is opaque; asset flows lack capital support; traditional businesses cannot keep up with the innovation of the times; front-end data collection is decoupled from practical applications and cannot meet the requirements of operational diversity… …For ordinary investors, investing in commercial real estate often has a high investment threshold, and it is difficult to identify the value of the project.

Under the epidemic, the outbreak of new demands and the emergence of new scenarios have been accelerated, which has promoted the transition of new service models in the real estate industry from offline to online, and promoted the digital development of work scenarios.

Mr. Vu Anh Minh, Chairman of the Board of Members Railway Corporation Vietnam (VNR) has just issued an urgent petition to the Prime Minister “calling for help” on issues related to the development of a National Project on management, use and exploitation of railway infrastructure assets. The State invests and the allocation of resources for management and maintenance of real estate assets.

From 1955 to now, VNR is the only 100% state-owned enterprise established by the State with the purpose of assigning the management, exploitation, use and direct trading of all railway infrastructure assets. (KCHTĐS) in the form of excluding capital components in the enterprise.

VNR leaders said that with 3,143 km of railways going through 34 provinces and cities, in the absence of funding for the management of real estate assets, VNR has organized an asset management system from the General level. companies to member units and joint stock companies with dominant capital contribution.

Up to this point, due to the long and unusual effects of the Covid-19 epidemic as well as the construction of an investment package of VND7,000 billion belonging to medium-term capital, in single track conditions, both train and construction. , The railway industry is in a very difficult period.

Along with that, according to Mr. Vu Anh Minh, problems with funding for the maintenance of national real estate infrastructure in 2021 have not been resolved according to the direction of the Prime Minister, 20 companies perform the task of system maintenance. The national real estate infrastructure currently does not have the budget to buy materials to put into the project, regular expenses and especially to pay employees in the first 4 months of 2021, seriously affecting the lives of nearly 25,000 workers in the VNR. .

“The high risk is that 11,315 workers on the road patrol, bridge week, tunnel patrol, guarding the crossroads … will quit their jobs because they have no income. This issue has pushed businesses to the end, difficult to sustain. until the end of April 2021 “- President of VNR stated in the petition.

According to VNR, the project on management and use of national railway infrastructure assets submitted by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) to the Prime Minister up to this point continues to create many levels of management intermediaries, many administrative procedures. in the management, maintenance and exploitation of real estate assets, increasing licensing, and approving the subproject (sub-license). In particular, it is still proposed a mechanism to assign cost estimates for maintenance to the Vietnam Railway Administration (the agency only performs the advisory function under the Ministry of Transport and does not manage the assets of the real estate infrastructure).

“The proposal of the Ministry of Transport in the Project not only fails to overcome difficulties and problems in production and business activities, but also causes a lot of stagnation and congestion for VNR, pushing businesses to the risk of bankruptcy. , the risk of eliminating railway transport in the transportation system “- VNR leader said.

According to the VNR leader, in order to manage and maintain the assets of the national real estate infrastructure, VNR must organize a comprehensive and coherent human resources system from the parent company to the base units along the railway lines with a total of 11,315 employees were employed, including: 1,241 workers in bridge, road, and tunnel patrol; 915 indirect workers; 6,278 workers perform maintenance and quality control of maintenance work and 2,881 workers guarding the crossroads to ensure safe train operation.

Meanwhile, at present, the organizational apparatus of the Vietnam Railways Administration has only over 100 staff members (most of them are officers of the railway office and the railway traffic safety inspection force), so if the plan is implemented according to the Project, the Ministry As proposed by transportation, VNR still has to fully allocate the above 11,315 human resources to perform the tasks of asset management and the maintenance of national railway infrastructure assets.

“VNR will become an intermediary agency to delay, cause congestion in the process of maintenance and operation of transportation, directly affecting train safety” – VNR leader explained.

Based on the provisions of relevant laws, international experience and especially the practice of managing and operating operations, VNR believes that the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister have chaired meetings with Ministries many times. , departments to analyze the legal basis and have the conclusions and announcements. The Ministry of Justice also appraised the legality in Document No. 193 / BTP-PLDSKT dated January 22, 2021, which confirmed that the delivery of KCHTDS assets and cost estimate for maintenance to VNR Corporation is correct. current laws (including the State Budget Law).

From the above explanations, the Chairman of the Board of Members of VNR sincerely proposes to the Government, the Prime Minister to: Direct the Ministry of Transport to seriously, fully implement the direction of the Prime Minister in the document. 1956 / VPCP-CN dated March 24, 2021 on the management, use and exploitation of national real estate assets.

VNR also proposed to the Prime Minister to direct the Ministry of Transport to continue to assign estimates of economic causes for the management and maintenance of national real estate assets for the period from 2021 onwards to VNR as in previous years.

Well implement traffic management regulations, in which the management and maintenance of traffic works are decentralized to communes, villages for management and use, so that the units can actively fund maintenance and protection. Regular repairs to increase the life of the project and promote efficiency of investment capital.

According to Defense World, the US Air Force recently announced blueprints for a new fighter jet being developed under the “Next Generation Aviation Advantage” (NGAD) program, which includes including unmanned and manned fighters.

The image shows a triangular flying fighter and its aerial weapons on display as well. The configuration of this fighter is also very different from today’s fighters, the plane is relatively flat, triangular seen from above, has a pair of vertical V-shaped tails and the air intakes located above. fuselage.

The photo shows that this fighter jet has very highly modular characteristics, can quickly replace engines, landing frames … thereby reducing the load of logistics maintenance, missile pods inside. The aircraft is also equipped with a variety of missiles.

The NGAD program was originally proposed as a joint project of the US Air Force and Navy. Although there is still some joint cooperation between the two sides, each side has in turn set up independent offices to research and develop next-generation fighters.

From 2019 to 2025, the budget for the NGAD program of the US Air Force is 9 billion USD, of which the budget for the fiscal year 2021 is 1 billion USD and the budget of the fiscal year 2022 is 1.5 billion USD.

According to the report, the NGAD program aims to complement the F-22 and F-35 fighters, creating a system with multi-domain cognitive capabilities, flexible information and strong operational advantages. air raid attack. The program will apply digital technology to large-scale fabrication and replacement of small components.

This approach is based on the automotive industry’s digital transformation and uses models to solve design, assembly, maintenance and repair issues before, the Air Force said. build a physical system.

The US Air Force report did not specify the cost of the project to build the aircraft. However, the report mentions that a mysterious jet under the project was tested in 2020, and it is still unclear whether the plane is manned or not.

“We have built and tested a new aircraft and broke all aircraft records,” said Will Roper, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for US logistics and technology equipment procurement. fight. We are now ready to build the next generation aircraft in an unprecedented way. “

Some previous reports suggested that the NGAD program plane will have an artificial intelligence co-pilot, maybe even the ARTU system (artificial intelligence system built by algorithm to play chess. ).

The artificial intelligence system will act as a support for true pilots, but the weakness of AI systems lies in their logic, while actual military actions may not obey this logic. Human presence is then required to make a decision in unusual, non-standard situations.

It is known that from March 2018, the US Air Force Laboratory has released the image of the next generation F / X aircraft, showing that this aircraft will have a stealth design, eye-catching appearance with laser. High energy capable of cutting enemy aircraft in half.

This is also the main aircraft in the NGAD program, also known as the Penetration Jet. The future F / X aircraft is expected to have longer range and payload, as well as the ability to carry hypersonic weapons.

Under the NGAD program, the US Air Force advocates to exploit advanced capabilities of the new generation of aircraft such as air combat systems linked to fighters, drones and networking platforms. . With the aim of increasing air superiority, the F / X fighter program offers significantly enhanced stealth and works closely in coordination with the drone.

Until now, all information about the capabilities of the F / X is still a military secret. If the program progresses at a rapid rate through streamlined processes and uses current technology, the new generation fighter could join the US Air Force earlier than expected in 2030. .
