If to choose one of the weirdest and most humorous martial arts in the world, perhaps Yellow Bamboo (Yellow Bamboo) on the beautiful island of Bali, Indonesia. According to the website Skepdic.com, Yellow Bamboo was once considered an art of self-development, health protection and healing. In fact, it is a martial art whose creators have made extravagant claims that Yellow Bamboo can use “universal energy” (in Yellow Bamboo called “Chi”) to scare away and neutralize the attackers. Until now, the question of who founded Yellow Bamboo is still a mystery. But many Indonesians consider Yellow Bamboo to be a martial art or a mystical cult with supernatural powers. They believe that in order to use “the energy of the universe”, the most important thing is to have the power of faith. On the Yellow Bamboo website it is stated that this martial art has more than 30,000 followers worldwide. In addition to curing many diseases, Yellow Bamboo can help the practitioner knock down opponents without having to touch them. Even those who practice Yellow Bamboo also claim that they can… fly into the air like in the martial arts movie. According to the Skepdic.com website, many practitioners of the martial art Yellow Bamboo have been spamming internet forums to attract more new students to join their organizations. Although it completely lacks scientific basis and carries only spiritual meaning, Yellow Bamboo can spread to a very distant country, Australia. Previously, a martial artist named Peter Dellys, who studied the Brazilian martial art Jiu Jitsu, also practiced Yellow Bamboo. The character was controversial after a “mysterious martial arts” performance with Fraser Johnston, another Jiu Jitsu practitioner, on a beach in Perth, Australia. This is the same technique as “electrical martial arts” in China or Japan, Vietnam… that is, knocking down the opponent without physical contact. Of course, many people think that this is a “fake martial artist” and a product of theatrical trick, not completely real. Two masters of the Yellow Bamboo martial art in Bali, Indonesia. Those who practice Yellow Bamboo say that in order to practice this martial art, practitioners will first have to perform an initiation ceremony called “pasupati”. Every time a new level is reached, this ritual is repeated. Every time they practice, the trainees have to…” imagine and practice feeling the power of the light of the universe entering your body “. The followers of Yellow Bamboo also think that the best way is that they should practice on the full moon nights of every month to be able to gather the most energy of the universe! THE FUCKING LUCK CLEARED CREATING SUCCESSFULLY In February 2004, followers of the Yellow Bamboo sect released a press release, claiming that the masters of this martial art can demonstrate the ability to knock opponents down without physical contact and can win the “$1 Million Mystery Challenge” prize (award established by the James Randi Education Foundation in the US). After that, a martial artist who is considered a “master” of Yellow Bamboo performed the challenge under the verification of the organizers, and was assessed through a number of quite modern machines and equipment. However, the “masters” of Yellow Bamboo completely failed and even this challenge turned into a very rare “trick” for the world martial arts village. According to the website Skepdic.com, a martial artist named Serengen performed the challenge. A representative of the James Randi Education Foundation named Joko Tri stood to verify Serengen’s abilities. Some foreigners also practice Yellow Bamboo. However, instead of performing the challenge in good lighting conditions, Serengen chose the time after dark. To perform this challenge, Joko Tri will run threateningly and then Serengen will use “supernatural powers” to defeat Joko Tri from afar. Instead of Joko Tri running alone, 3 or 4 other members of Yellow Bamboo followed. Then, in the dark, when the camera equipment could not shoot clearly, the members of Yellow Bamboo used a… gun to attack, making Joko Tri stunned and fell down. After that, Serengen and the members of Yellow Bamboo confirmed that they had successfully completed the challenge, but later on, this group’s trick was exposed and this became the most tragic “joke” in the village. martial. Contrary to a part of the Indonesian people and a few in the world who still believe in the “super powers” of Yellow Bamboo martial arts, so far, most people think that this is just a “fake martial arts” thing. , completely not real but just taking advantage of the blind faith of the disciples in this martial art.

Although being meticulously raised, Ha Co does not respect ordinary morality. Because of her, a chaotic war happened everywhere and was considered “killing 3 husbands, killing sons, destroying an entire nation, destroying 2 princes”. According to some documents handed down, Ha Co is good at poetry and has the ultimate ability to defend. Despite not knowing how many men have passed through her hands, she can still “make it” (always as attractive as virgin girls). (Photo Sohu) In the 8th year of Lu Tuyen, in 601 BC, Ha Co had passed two husbands at that time, but her beauty was still very brilliant and charismatic. She caught the eye of King Tran Linh Cong – an insatiable wild king with two princes in the dynasty, Khong Ninh and Nghi Hang Phu. All 3 are not afraid to publicize their sexual relations that are contrary to their morality. (Photo Sohu) At this time, an honest official named Tiet Tri spoke up to dissuade the king, openly criticizing the behavior that was contrary to the morality of the three people. King Tran not only disobeyed this official’s advice, but also killed him. So King Tran Linh Cong, Khong Ninh and Nghi Hang Phu at the same time went to bed with Ha Co. This made Ha Co’s son, Ha Trung Thu, very grumpy. When she was growing up, Ha Trung Thu had a talent in martial arts and a broad personality, so Tran Linh Cong succeeded her father to become a bishop in the imperial capital. In 601 BC, knowing that her mother and Tran Linh Cong were circulating with each other, Ha Trung Thu spoke up to dissuade her but could not. In 599 BC, Ha Trung Thu returned home from the royal capital to Chau Lam to visit his mother. But unexpectedly, he caught sight of Tran Linh Cong, Khong Ninh, Nghi Hang Phu drinking, “having fun” with his mother. Not only that, all 4 of them have plain and lustful words. At this time, Trung Thu felt very angry, so he took a bow and arrow, shot the king. After that, Trung Thu gathered soldiers and soldiers, set off to take the throne, and became king of the Tran kingdom. Khong Ninh and Nghi Hang Phu ran to the So country and told So Trang Vuong about Trung Thu to kill the king and steal the throne. Immediately, King So immediately brought troops to fight the Tran country, and arrested Trung Thu to Flip Mon to death. Trung Thu only became king within a few short months.

She once defended her Master’s thesis in English with a score of 9.9 and was honored to be one of 31 students and researchers who received a “huge” scholarship awarded by the National University of Ho Chi Minh City.

Passionate about renewable materials

Do Nguyen Hoang Nga graduated from university with an engineering degree in Chemical Engineering at University of Technology – National University of Ho Chi Minh City in 2018 and continued to study for a master’s degree at the school. In 2020, she graduated with a Master’s degree with an average score of 9.63, a thesis in English with a score of 9.9. Hoang Nga is continuing her research work with the Sustainable Process Engineering team led by Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Thi Kim Phung.

The team’s research direction is to develop technologies to convert agricultural-industrial by-products into renewable materials with high technical value such as aerogels, multi-disciplinary applications such as construction, environmental treatment, food packaging. and aimed at applications in medicine, fuel cells …

MSc Do Nguyen Hoang Nga said that the group is currently focusing on renewable materials from biomass. This field is quite new and is the trend of the current world when the environment is increasingly polluted. Her approach towards zero waste technology, turning worthless things into valuable products has fascinated her for the past two years.

“In 2019, I have access to aerogel synthesis technology from pineapple leaves through the cooperation between the Sustainable Process Engineering team and the Aerogel research team of Assoc.Prof.Dr. Duong Minh Hai – National University of Singapore. After that, my team and I continue to expand this research direction with other types of waste such as fly ash, waste cotton chips, pandan leaf fibers … Up to now, these studies have had positive results at room scale. experiment and pilot, as a basis to be transferred into industrial production when an organization is interested in placing an order “, shared Hoang Nga.

During the implementation of the studies, Hoang Nga and the group encountered many difficulties in funding and analysis equipment. Some of the equipment at the laboratory is not available, so the group has to link with domestic and foreign laboratories to send measurement samples. Passive analysis can sometimes make progress difficult. However, some research topics of the group are supported by funding from scientific funding funds, thus partly removing the group’s obstacles.

Hope to be available on the market soon

With the current research direction on renewable materials from biomass, Hoang Nga and his team wish to create more conditions for research and development of modern and efficient technologies in industrial production.

As an application-oriented research group, the group always puts the feasibility criteria when producing on an industrial scale on top. The direction of non-waste recycling from biomass is approaching in line with the trend of Vietnam as well as in the world when the problem of environmental pollution caused by waste is concerned by many people. After all, the team still wants to apply the developed technology on an industrial scale to the industrial scale of this material to be available on the market early.

Assoc. her research as a research engineer. Within two years, Russia and the research team had outstanding achievements in scientific publication with 11 international articles on the SCIE list, 1 article on Scopus, 2 domestic articles and 2 reports in the yearbook. prestigious international seminar with research orientation to develop technology to manufacture aerogel materials, ultra-light solid materials containing more than 90% air, from wastes such as pineapple leaves, coir, bagasse cotton, waste tires… ”.

“Russia has the quality of a researcher who is serious, honest, creative and passionate about science, always shows a high sense of responsibility, critical thinking, sociable, energetic and cheerful. with people. According to the students in my lab, Russia does not hesitate to help them when there are problems or problems. All my students want to work with Russia for their devotion and valuable advice to them ”, said Associate Professor, Dr. Kim Phung.

To keep the fire passionate about science, especially with female scientists, it is necessary to encourage and care from family, friends and colleagues because it is the spiritual strength that helps us to persevere. intensify forward. Besides, thanks to scientific research funding from the university budget, the National University of Ho Chi Minh City, the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City, the Vingroup Innovation Fund, the domestic research groups … confidence and research effort. – Master Hoang Nga
