Bitter tomato soup often has a lot of hot and “bitter” chili peppers to enjoy, not … complain. More sophisticated, pork skin cut about two knuckles cooked in a pot of bitter tomato soup, increasing the fat, chewy and delicious taste significantly. Dried fish is a popular reserve food of the mountainous people and it is unknown when the Ede people can choose the head of a dried herring cooked with bitter eggplant – it is deliciously compatible. Perhaps the aromatic herring oil, which is often canned, is “different”, using canned fish to cook bitter tomato soup instead of crushed herring heads – still not inferior to each other. Ede people often use this dish with rice. Because they have a habit of eating quickly, they often cook this dish a bit thick to eat with rice. They often squeeze into handfuls with eggplant and eat, the bitter and spicy taste makes the dish more delicious, bitter eggplant is also a valuable medicine to help increase resistance. According to the Ede, bitter eggplant is not eaten raw like eggplant, but only cooked. Can buy a lot to cut pieces to dry, hang the kitchen truss gradually; Before cooking, soak in water for about 5-10 minutes, the eggplant is soft and the bitter taste is not lost. Bitter eggplant grows wild on upland fields and is planted in many gardens, almost every house of the Ede has bitter eggplant. The tree has thorns, has fruit all year round, has few and many thorns; The more thorns, the more bitter, bitter like bitter melon.

Considering the literal teaching of the Vu Dung Group, there is no factual basis. Because if salt can keep onions from “jumping out of the mortar” when pounding, there must be a chemical effect between the two. In other words, the onion and salt must be ground together for the chemical action to take place. But once the onions and salt are mixed together, why worry about the onions “jumping” out of the mortar? In fact, pounding onions is not so difficult that it requires salt – an additive that can cause people to change the purpose of onions. After directly experimenting, we found that: pounding onions without salt or not makes no difference. Conclusion: “experience: pounding onions, you have to add a few grains of salt, otherwise the onions will jump out of the mortar” of Vu Dung Group is completely unrealistic. Regarding the explanation of the “Vietnamese proverb dictionary”: “When salt is absent, onions will immediately become cold”, in fact, just re-expressed the folk saying, not explaining the literal meaning, but also the figurative meaning. incorrect. Some other explanations: When salting onions without adding salt, onions will float, so it is called “Land lemon like onions without salt”. However, in terms of chemistry, onions are always more buoyant in salt water than in cold water. And so, the truth is quite the opposite: with salt, the onion will “float” (floating)! Another opinion is that “lime and lemon are like onions without salt”, only someone “passionate”, salted onions but forgot to put salt. But pickled onions or sauerkraut, without adding salt, what’s the difference in the degree of “ambiguity”? So, “Lime flax is like onions without salt”, or “Without salt, lemongrass” is literally understood? We think that the literal meaning of the idiom is based on the importance of salt and onions. According to this, salt is much more important than onions. Every dish can be without spices, but not without salt. The question is when is “salted onion” and when is “unsalted onion”? Onions have salt when people prepare dishes where salt and onions are removed from the beginning and removed at the same time to marinate and cook. In these cases, salt is an indispensable ingredient, and onions are just one of many spices (such as ginger, garlic, chili, MSG, sugar, etc.). Therefore, when appearing at the same time as salt, onions are secondary, nothing outstanding, even if it is okay, it is okay not to have it. Marinating onions with salted fish sauce and cooking utensils does not need to be rushed or according to a strict process. However, when “onions are not salted”, things are different. So when is the “unsalted onion”? When people have to fry onions and grease to bring up the smell of fried things, before adding salted fish sauce, or frying onions to make seasoning, cake fillings… To ensure that onions are cooked and fragrant, the fat pan must be fragrant. clean, absolutely no salty salt. Unlike when “onions have salt”, this time onions are not only the most important but also go first, salted fish becomes the last “participant”. So how do folk think “unsalted onion” is like a “lime lemon” guy? Under the anthropomorphic view of folk, “unsalted onions” are like those who are sharp, clean, zealous, always in a hurry, and want to hurry up. The interesting thing is that the same thing, phenomenon, comes from the same literal meaning, but folk have created one version is a proverb, the other is an idiom: Ban is the proverb “Without salt, the onion is fine”: summarizing a regular fact that when the main factor is absent, the secondary one suddenly emerges. Just like when “no salt”, onions have the opportunity to play an important role, but “Vietnamese Proverbs Dictionary” by Nguyen Duc Duong has interpreted in the obvious sense: “When salt is absent, onions become flax. right”. This sentence is synonymous with the sentence “There are big elephants; there are no big cows and elephants”, or “There are big mountains, there are no high hills” (without the real big, the small suddenly takes its place). The beauty of the sentence “No salt, no salt, no onion” is that the folk personify the onion to describe the gesture, the innocent personality, like to show me here of the proud, “one-eyed man is the king of the blind country”. ! Ban is the idiom “Land and lime are like onions without salt”: simply simulating, comparing someone’s appearance, wiping gesture, hasty and hasty like “onions without salt”. This sentence is synonymous with the sentence “Smooth like a newcomer”: the newcomers are enthusiastic, wipe the chau, everything is quick, enthusiastic, know the job (Variable “Lau chau like a new resident” come, waddling like a child at full five”). Folk often rely on the observation of things and phenomena around daily life to set up proverbs. Therefore, the literal meaning always corresponds to the figurative meaning. In this case, the way that “unsalted onion” participates in the dish evokes the gesture of a “lean lemon” person, exactly as the “Vietnamese Dictionary” (Vietlex) has taught: “lean lemon • t. has a hasty, hasty posture, wants to appear quick, has a cool personality ~ Address: lau chau”.

Contribute to protect the environment On August 18, 2020, the Prime Minister signed and promulgated Decision No. 1266 approving the strategy for development of building materials in Vietnam in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050. Accordingly, provinces and cities must minimize the impact on the environment in the process of mining and processing minerals for building materials (building materials) and production of building materials. Using advanced mining technology combined with washing and removing impurities to improve sand quality Promote and encourage all economic sectors to invest in and develop the building materials industry; the fastest access and application of scientific and technological achievements; to develop an efficient and sustainable building materials industry to basically meet domestic demand, step by step increase exports; to encourage investment in research and transfer of production technology for processing lines of crushed sand, sea sand, salt water sand, brackish water sand, fine sand into sand qualified for use in concrete and mortar. “Do not use river sand that meets technical standards for concrete as a leveling material; do not export construction sand extracted from nature; promote the production and use of brackish water, fine sand, and sea sand. together with technical solutions; using advanced mining technology in combination with washing and removing impurities to improve sand quality; waste generated during sand treatment must be collected and stored properly. techniques or reuse; sand mining and processing establishments must meet standards and technical regulations on environmental protection; must carry out environmental rehabilitation and restoration in accordance with the law on mining. , sand processing…”, Decision 1266 stated. Increase project life The Ministry of Construction has submitted to the Government for issuance of Decision 1266, in which Appendix X on sand of the decision states: “For natural sand: Using advanced mining technology combined with washing and removing impurities. to improve the quality of sand,…”. Using clean sand contributes to environmental protection, limiting riverbank and coastal erosion Natural sand sources include hill sand, river and stream sand, estuary sand, dirty fine sand, etc., which have not been washed, so there is still a lot of dust, mud, clay, organic impurities, etc., which are harmful substances to the calf. cardboard and mortar, so often used for leveling is very wasteful. In particular, estuarine sand and sea sand with Cl- ion salt content in the sand > 0.05% cannot be used for leveling and must be discarded, causing waste. Currently, there are enterprises in the country that have successfully researched, manufactured and applied the technology of washing hill sand, river sand, sea sand, dirty sand to produce clean sand for concrete and mortar that meets TCVN 7570 standards: 2006, when applying technology, will make full use of special sand resources, contributing to rational use of sand resources and overcoming sand scarcity. Talking to the press, architect Tran Thanh Tong – Director of Tran Giang Planning and Architectural Design Consulting Co., Ltd (Can Tho City) – said that over the past 10 years, the company has always used clean sand in accordance with the law. Phan Thanh technology for all construction works. Works using clean sand have a slight increase in cost compared to dirty sand, unwashed sand, but in return, works using clean sand are very durable, beautiful, and have a much longer life than using dirty sand. , sand is not ready to wash. According to Mr. Vo Tan Dung, the inventor of the sand washing technology of Phan Thanh Can Tho Company, in fact, when exploiting sand from Tien and Hau rivers in combination with a cleaning factory in the spirit of Appendix X of Decision No. 1266/QD-TTg dated August 18, 2020 of the Prime Minister will help the cost of sand in construction to be converted lower than the cost of using unfiltered sand about 115,000 VND/m3 of sand (cost of The cost of selecting and washing sand at the mine and loading and unloading the sand onto the barge costs at most: 50,000 VND/m3; meanwhile, the cost of sieving through manual nets but not clean: 60,000 VND/m3, 10% impurities including sand and transportation loading and unloading to the construction site but cannot be used, the minimum cost is: 25,000 VND/m3, over 10% of the cement cost, equivalent to about: 80,000 VND when using 1m3 of sand for concrete and mortar). People are used to using unfiltered sand to clean it is paradoxical because in concrete and mortar, there is still too much dust, mud, clay, organic impurities, harmful to the house, and using clean sand when re-cleaning is less expensive and reduces costs. construction cost compared to using unwashed sand. For example, converting sand containing 10.5% impurities, concrete grade 250 will be mixed with 9.06 kg of impurities/bag of cement 50 kg and if sand with 5% impurities, concrete grade 250 will be mixed 4.2 kg. impurities/bag of cement; mortar grade 100 if the sand 10.5% impurities are mixed 17.47 kg of impurities/1 bag of cement and mortar grade 100 if the sand 5% impurities in the sand are mixed 8.32 kg of impurities/bag cement. In addition, using clean sand contributes to quality assurance, so you don’t have to spend too much money on painting many times to waterproof, reduce maintenance costs, etc. In particular, the lifespan is hundreds of years compared to using sand without passing. After a few decades, the construction must be demolished and rebuilt, causing damage of several tens of % of the total value of the work. Therefore, the promulgation of Decision 1266/QD-TTg dated August 18, 2020 of the Prime Minister is practical, especially sand resources will be improved in quality by removing harmful impurities when being washed. clean, contributing to the rational use of sand resources, overcoming the scarcity of sand and ensuring sustainable construction quality for the entire population.

Their venom is made up of a mixture called peptide conus. Each of them will have a unique venom formula. More than 50,000 conus peptides have been discovered, they are all neurotoxins and no vertebrate species on our planet possesses this form of venom. Marbled Cone snail possesses an extremely splendid appearance but is considered the most venomous snail species on the planet. They are purely carnivores and predators, feeding mainly on sea worms, small fish, mollusks and even other cone snails. It can release venom at any time in its life, and this species is always ready to wipe out all living things around it. A cone snail, like most snails, moves slowly. However, its attack is extremely quick and powerful. They use a sophisticated detection system to find their prey. Snails eat fish, sea worms or other snails if food sources are scarce. Their secret to hunting doesn’t lie in movement speed, instead they hunt using venom and develop an extremely efficient venom system. Because of their slow movement speed, cone snails often hunt by “holding a tree waiting for a rabbit”, which will lie in the sand at the bottom of the water, only revealing its long tubular mouth and tentacles in the sand. Once it detects prey such as a small fish or something passing by, it will use strong muscle contractions to shoot the tongue connected with the venom gland from its long tubular mouth at lightning speed and “close the gap”. nail” into the body, injecting poison into the prey. This venom will paralyze prey within seconds and die instantly. To prevent their prey from struggling, some species of snails have created a toxin that can reduce pain and anesthetize the prey’s nerves, making the prey feel no pain and slowly die without even realizing it. know. When the prey is fixed and no longer struggling, the conch will withdraw the “hook” (toothed tongue), pulling the paralyzed prey into the mouth. One study estimated that this species alone caused 36 deaths. Divers are afraid to face the Marbled Cone snail. They are very beautiful, just like other normal snail shells, but when hit, they are very fast and even with diving gloves, the snail’s proboscis can still penetrate. A few microliters of the toxin in a snail’s saliva is strong enough to kill at least 10 people. Once the poison enters your system, you may not feel symptoms for several minutes or days. Although the bite is not painful, you may feel numbness or tingling. However, then your whole body may shake, your eyes will go blurry, and your breathing may stop after just a few hours. However, the function of this extremely toxic substance is only for self-defense and to catch prey, but they never actively attack humans. Up to now, about 30 people have died from accidental contact with the marbled cone’s spit. The life of the snail shell collector will end when the sharp hook of this snail pierces the person. The most powerful poison called neurotoxin will temporarily paralyze your nerves. After that, the respiratory organs will close, making it difficult for you to breathe and this can be the worst part. Symptoms of a snail sting include local pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, and vomiting. Symptoms may appear immediately or slowly over several days. In severe cases, muscle paralysis, vision changes and respiratory failure can lead to death. The various neurotoxins contained in cone snails are called cono toxins. In addition to being toxic to humans, in this venom mixture there are many beneficial substances, which can work accurately and quickly on the human nervous system without causing side effects. Therefore, this snail can also open up a new medical future for humans. For example, cono peptides have the potential to prevent spasticity caused by spinal cord injury and may help diagnose and treat small cell lung cancer. Conotoxins can immediately generate nerve signals that reduce heart rate or turn off pain receptors. Ziconotide isolated from it is used as an analgesic. It is said to be 1000 times more effective than morphine and not addictive. Conotoxin ACV1, isolated from Victoria cone cone in Australia, is more effective than morphine and Ziconotide, has a longer analgesic effect and is convenient to use without side effects. It has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of post-operative and neurological conditions, and even accelerates the recovery of nerve damage, and is expected to be developed as a treatment for anxiety. , Parkinson’s disease, muscle tension and hypertension.

This species is extremely toxic, it prefers to hide in coral reefs, rocks and sandy seabeds from intertidal to intertidal zones in southeastern China and tropical seas. Their bodies contain more than 200 pharmacologically active substances and a single drop of venom can kill 20 adults. To date there have been at least 100 recorded deaths from the venom of this species and the actual number could be much higher. The creature we are talking about here is the Cone Snail, also known as the cone snail, is a marine gastropod mollusk, so far more than 70 species have been found along the coast. along the coast of China and there are more than 1,000 species discovered in the world. Their venom is made up of a mixture called peptide conus. Each of them will have a unique venom formula. More than 50,000 conus peptides have been discovered, they are all neurotoxins and no vertebrate species on our planet possesses this form of venom. The Cone Snail has a mostly cone-shaped appearance and the largest can be 23 cm long. They are purely carnivores and predators, feeding mainly on sea worms, small fish, mollusks and even other cone snails. It can release venom at any time in its life, and this species is always ready to wipe out all living things around it. But surely you will find it difficult to understand because in our impression, snails are very slow-moving mollusks, how can they hunt, especially fast-moving species like fish? In fact, the secret to their hunting is not in their movement speed, instead they hunt by using their venom and developing an extremely efficient venom system. All cone snails are masters of poisons, likened to the five poisons in the animal kingdom. They have a tongue pocket in their throat, which contains many hollow toothed tongues, which resemble spearheads and are made of hard chitin. Because of their slow movement speed, cone snails often hunt by “holding a tree and waiting for rabbits”, which will lie in the sand at the bottom of the water, only revealing their long tubular mouth and tentacles in the sand. Once it detects prey such as a small fish or something passing by, it will use strong muscle contractions to shoot the tongue connected with the venom gland from its long tubular mouth at lightning speed and “close the gap”. nail” into the body, injecting poison into the prey.

When the prey is fixed and no longer struggling, the conch will withdraw the “hook” (toothed tongue), pulling the paralyzed prey into the mouth. It’s worth noting that even when it’s not during mealtimes, if it feels threatened, the conch shells will shoot out without hesitation. So if you see brightly colored and beautiful cones on the beach, don’t stress. It came out by accident. Pick it up, especially the larger cone snails. This behavior can kill you because the conch’s nose can pierce the skin, gloves or wetsuit. Especially among cone snails, there is a species called Gastridium geographus, also known as geographical cone snail, killer snail, they are known as one of the most poisonous snails in the world, and one of the most dangerous snails in the world. marine animals that are extremely toxic to humans. One study estimated that this species alone caused 36 deaths. Symptoms of a snail sting include local pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, and vomiting.

Illustration. When buying a moisturizer, not paying attention to the ingredients is a mistake. You should research and buy creams that contain hyaluronic acid, lipids or ceramides. Forget the skin around the eyes The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than other areas, so care needs to be careful. If you arbitrarily choose a poor quality cream, it can seriously affect this skin area. Therefore, when buying moisturizers, you only buy products that have been tested and meet quality standards. Let the skin be too dry when applying the cream To get the most out of your moisturizer, don’t apply it when your skin is too dry. Because water will help the skin retain moisture longer. The best way, after washing your face, do not dry your face and apply the cream while the skin is still slightly damp. Apply moisturizer on dry skin For maximum effectiveness, a moisturizing lotion should be applied before the water evaporates. After showering, pat the skin dry – do not rub. Facial skin will not have too much excess water but will be slightly damp before applying moisturizer. Use moisturizer infrequently Moisturizer should be used at least once per day to control skin moisture. Imagine the skin as a brick wall, the cells like the bricks and the surrounding fat like the mortar that holds the bricks together. This link can be strong, but there are many damaging factors including cold weather, hot water and substances that are harmful to the skin. Age is also a factor, as lipid sources decline. When the ‘mortar’ layer is damaged, the skin loses its function as a moisture barrier. Excessive abuse Using too much cream does not increase the effectiveness as people think, but will make your skin secret, oily, make the effectiveness of the cream significantly reduced, and stimulate acne-prone skin. Dermatologists recommend that for a cream-based moisturizer, each time we only need to use a small amount of corn kernels (corn), dot it on points on the face such as forehead, cheekbones, chin… then apply. circle outwards, helping the cream spread evenly and penetrate better. As for serums and essences, you only need 1-2 drops to be enough for your skin. Depending on the manufacturer’s instructions, use 1-2 times in the morning or evening.

Ancient Mayan civilization simulated on a 3D model. The laser survey showed that in a mountainous region north of Yucatán, called Puuc, the Mayans built remarkable structures, including artificial reservoirs, more than 1,200 stoves, several fields. ladder to cultivate … Research lead William Ringle, professor emeritus of anthropology at Davidson University in North Carolina, USA said: “It looks like this is a very prosperous area because we have all the stone houses. build. ” Furthermore, the Mayans of Puuc built four major towns dating from the Middle Ages (700 BC to 450 BC) and population centers dating from 600 to 750 AD, during the Late Antiquity period. dictionary. While these structures were recorded, laser data analysis revealed that these Puuc communities had distinct city layouts that were not seen in other Maya regions. Researchers have known of the ancient Mayan settlements of Puuc since the 1840s, but there has never been a comprehensive survey of the area so far. By calculating with laser light, a software can create a detailed 3D topographic map of ancient Mayan civilization. Researchers spent about 20 years doing basic research in the Puuc region. Analysis of the lidar maps, which encompass about 237 square kilometers, revealed 7,900 housing quarters, including on the hills, indicating that the Puuc area with a large population was concentrated mainly on the Different communities, with a few in the hinterland of Puuc. Many of these residential structures still have stone veins marking different rooms – each house has about 2-3 rooms. These details suggest that Puuc may be one of the most densely populated areas in the Maya Lowlands, an area that includes parts of modern-day Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Despite the densely populated, it seems that the people in Puuc mainly live in peace; the communities are quite close together – usually between 5 and 10 km, but there is no evidence of any defensive structure. “There are images of warriors on some of the sculptures, but it’s not to the point where people stop themselves from the neighbors,” the researchers said. Water reservoirs A densely populated area needs a lot of water, but Puuc, like the rest of Yucatan, is mostly on limestone, a porous rock. Since there was no water or river or lake, people had to find other ways to get it. Puuc is located on a hilly and raised area, making it above groundwater level. To solve this problem, the Mayans built “chultunes”, or tanks, that were lined with mortar to collect rainwater. The Mayans also built “aguadas”, or reservoirs, with long drainage channels. Lidar’s survey revealed that some of these channels were several hundred meters long. Terraces The lidar survey also revealed evidence of an intensive and widespread rock-producing industry, consisting of quarries and 1,232 circular stoves, potentially used to sinter sandstone so that produce lime, or calcium oxide. This lime is probably used as a construction mortar and to help soften corn. “When people down there cook corn, they usually soak it in lime the night before to soften it a bit, and then they will grind it,” says Ringle. Therefore, lime is an essential commodity, even at the household level. ” The number of stoves was a surprising revelation, Ringle added. They are everywhere. And that shows that it’s a sizable industry in Puuc. Other research has shown that these stoves can be operated using very little firewood. “It tells us that people probably had the raw materials pretty close at hand, even though they didn’t burn the entire forest,” Ringle said. The lidar image also showed the first clear evidence of the ladder at Puuc, actually all north of Yucatan. Although the area has hundreds of hills, only 8 hills are terraced fields for cultivation. This shows that this practice is not popular in Puuc. The ancient Maya civilization existed for more than 2,500 years, before the people mysteriously abandoned their city. There are many theories that explain why this happens. Stories are told that the Mayans mismanaged their landscape and this led to their own destruction. This new study is contrary evidence. The study was published online April 28 in the journal PLOS One.
