The Thai team shows signs of decline in Southeast Asia In the past 4 years, Thai football not only has not progressed to the Asian level as expected by football players in this country, on the contrary, they have clearly declined. Thailand is now 30 places behind Vietnam in the world rankings, despite spending a lot of money to invite reputable and famous coaches. Thairath wrote: “Who is not ashamed but I do. Since taking the chair of the President of the Thai Football Federation, Mr. Somyot has made everyone seem to have hope that Thai football will grow in stature and professionalism. In the end, all talk is just a dream. Thailand’s achievements are like falling into the abyss where they used to be the eldest brother. They were eliminated in the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia, with a score worse than their regional rivals, Malaysia. Like this, are you embarrassed?”. Page Thairath continued to criticize: “Look at Vietnam. They have risen to the number one position in Southeast Asia and 30 places above Thailand. Thailand has been terrible since President Somyot came to power. Is Japanese coach Akira Nishino worth such a large amount of money (30 million baht/year, equivalent to more than 20 billion VND/year)? At the very least, it must be exchanged with achievements. Because if you take that money to hire a Thai coach, the achievement is just that.” Siam Sports page also borrowed the words of former player Somchai Chuayboonchum to put pressure on coach Nishino: “The salary Nishino is receiving is too high compared to the results Thailand received. It’s a shame Thailand didn’t make it to the next round. The team seems to lag behind other competitors in Southeast Asia like Vietnam and Malaysia.” In the article, the author expressed concern about Thailand’s decline in the region as well as the quality of the Thai League: “Thailand team started to retreat and obviously fell into the abyss. At SEA Games, Thailand used to be a big man, but in the blink of an eye, the glorious past was gone. Everything was lower than expected. There is no title, no joy of winning and the Thai League is also starting to show signs of faltering. After that, Thai League is no longer the most appreciated tournament of the region. The Thai audience once again felt pain when the Thai team failed miserably in the 2022 World Cup. Vietnamese football is in the No. 1 position in Southeast Asia. If we stay in this situation, will we be able to ‘survive’ at SEA Games 31?”. Contrary to previous speculations of experts and fans, the Thai Football Federation did not fire coach Nishino. Not only that, they also decided to recruit some Japanese assistants to support Mr. Nishino in the near future. “I understand coach Nishino and the players very well. There are many objective reasons affecting the team’s results. From the detection of some cases of Covid-19, the team’s preparation plan has been greatly affected. Even the whole team could not practice anything in Thailand before going to the UAE. As for why coach Nishino doesn’t have any Japanese assistants, from the outset, the federation asked him if he wanted to bring any fellow assistants to Thailand, but he insisted he wanted to go to Thailand. alone. We never stopped Coach Nishino from using a Japanese assistant. However, we are willing to hire more Japanese assistants for Coach Nishino and this will not affect the salary that the federation pays him,” – announced President Somyot Poompanmoung. In addition, when asked by a reporter whether during the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, whether coach Nishino would have his salary cut, chairman Somyot Poompanmoung affirmed: “Based on the new contract, coach Nishino’s salary is 33 million baht/year, equivalent to about 2.75 million baht/month (approximately 2 billion VND). This new level is applied after we have implemented implement a policy of reducing wages for all employees of the union”.

Villa Nguyen Van Hao Saigon is often known as a crossroads of many cultures, the promised land of many people. From the exiled wanderers, the outcasts, to the people from all over the world looking for a place to live, Saigon has always opened its arms to support. Among them, there are many people who have made a name and left many imprints on the prosperity of this land. Merchant Nguyen Van Hao (1890-1971) is one such case. Through many ups and downs, the memory of a man from a poor background, working in Saigon doing business, selling auto parts and having a brilliant business has long since passed, but his legacy still remains. there. Building with four facades at Tran Hung Dao – Ky Con – Yersin – Le Thi Hong Gam streets, the symbol of his family’s golden age. Started in 1933 and completed in 1937, the villa is located on approximately 800 square meters of land and is designed in the popular Art Deco style of the time. Different from the sophisticated, ornate construction of colonial buildings, the outstanding three-storey building reflects the spirit of the time (zeitgeist): the 1930s was the heyday of modern, elegant architecture. elegant, luxurious and highly effective in use. According to some documents, the building’s construction material is sand mixed with latex, because there was no cement at that time, and high-grade cement tiles for the floor were also imported from France, to match the appearance of the building. Due to not being preserved and restored, Nguyen Van Hao’s villa is now degraded, with an old and gloomy appearance. Not many visitors from all over the world know about the old owner, but his name is now only saved on the walls with the words “NG.V.HAO.” But for those who love and understand Saigon, the Nguyen Van Hao villa is an important witness of a period of development of Saigon architecture. Ancient fountain in the campus of Saigon Water Supply Corporation (1882) After the announcement of permanently staying in Cochinchina (1865), the French began to lay the foundation for the Saigon planning project following the European urban model. Infrastructure issues are put on top, including the construction of a clean water supply system. The first fountain was built in 1878, the second one built in 1882 is still located on the campus of Sawaco. Ancient architecture of Saigon: Ancient fountain in the campus of Saigon Water Supply Corporation This oval fountain consists of three floors, about 25m high, above there are two stainless steel water tanks, solidly built like a fortress, and has an architectural style in harmony with the general urban planning. The highlight of the architecture is the intricately designed rows of doors and ventilation holes. The fountain ended its historic role (1966), when the water supply from shallow wells was replaced by a water supply system from the Dong Nai River. This 130-year-old fountain has officially been kept for conservation, and stands there as a historical monument of Saigon’s water supply industry. Catinat Building (1926) In Saigon, there are ancient buildings that have been renovated to suit modern lifestyles, but still retain their ancient features and architectural values. Catinat Building at 26 Ly Tu Trong is an example. The building used to be the office of many large companies, including the headquarters of the American Consulate (1930-1940). In 1941, Catinat suffered heavy damage because it became the target of Japanese bombing. In the 1960s, the Americans used this place as the headquarters of the CIA. After 1975, Catinat became an apartment building and the ground floor was used as a trading place. In recent years, young people in Saigon have given Catinat a new life by turning this place into a miniature commercial center, with shops, fashion shops, cafes… The Art Deco elements in the building are preserved almost intact, from the old brick foundation, winding iron stairs, to the old elevator that goes up and down slowly every day. But inside the rental areas are spaces with separate styles, expressing the personality of the owner. There are many controversies surrounding the preservation of heritage by changing the use, but in the case of Catinat building, it can be considered as a reasonable solution in the current situation. Saint Joseph Saigon Seminary Chapel (1867) In the heart of Saigon as it is today, there is still a place of tranquility and silence: the chapel of Saint Joseph’s Seminary, more than 140 years old. The building was designed in the Gothic style with Father Wibaux’s original intention to “symbolize the special adoration of the Seminarians”. The chapel consists of a main compartment interspersed between two auxiliary compartments using pointed arches, the outermost is a series of flat roof corridors. The rows of large and small columns intertwine to create a feeling that the space is larger than it really is. The interior of the chapel is simple but still exudes an elegant and elegant look. Although it has received little attention due to its location on the seminary grounds, this chapel is still considered an important architectural work on the heritage map of the city.

In human society, we give and exchange what we need to maintain life is an indispensable daily activity of each individual. More than that, from the perspective of the entire human race, commercial exchanges have become such an indispensable part of today’s world, so much so that each person forgets to depend on them so much that Come on. Just take a minute looking around the room you are sitting in, or look through the top of your desk and ask yourself how much of it is made by you yourself, and you have the answer. word. How commercial activities have an impact on the history of human society is summarized in the book: Trade history – How trade shaped the world ? (Original name : A splendid exchange: How trade shaped the world ) by William J. Bernstein. He is a neuroscientist, an expert in financial and investment theory, and also a researcher in economic history. The book focuses on two main contents: the first is the formation and development of commercial activities; The second is the impact of trade on the shaping of human society throughout history as well as the world today. WJBernstein recounts commercial history from the earliest steps, when people came up with the idea of ​​genius and it was also very natural to exchange what was in surplus for what they needed or liked but didn’t have, in when others have ego, it’s time for commerce to have shape and scale later on. The process of formation began from the cradle of human civilization in Mesopotamia to the formation of the oldest trade routes and then evolved into a complex network stretching from the Roman Empire in the west to the emperor. Han Empire in the East. Next was the disruption of East-West trade on the mainland as the two empires declined and Islam arose from the Middle East and spread influence, becoming the center of global trade for a long time. At the same time, maritime trade with the Indian Ocean was a major trade route that flourished, replacing the ancient Land Silk Road as the economic lifeblood of the world. Besides the overall picture of the ups and downs of trade history, WJBernstein analyzes the interaction between trade with political, social and other natural factors. For example, the geographical structural differences between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean lead to different economic-political, naval strategies thinking among Mediterranean civilizations (such as the Greek). Greece with civilizations participating in the Indian Ocean trading system (Islamic countries in the Middle East, Indian sub-states, Southeast Asia and China). At the same time, he offers interesting examples of times when economic, political and religious interests conflict, forcing rulers to make choices. For example, the famous story when Venice Governor Enrico Dandolo used all his tricks to bring the Crusader army to attack and sack Constantinople, Venice’s influential competitor, instead of attacking Egypt, his partner. commercial importance of Venice, as the Crusaders expected. And not only conscious human endeavors, but at times nature plays an important role in the course of history. The fourteenth century Black Death plague devastated both Christian Europe and the Muslim Middle East, but the consequences were different. The epidemic weakened feudalism in Europe, gave freedom of thought and trade a chance to develop, while at the same time making Islamic civilization severely irreversibly damaged, paving the way for turn in global trade advantage from East to West. In Trade history refers to characters, both famous and anonymous, who contributed to the making of commercial history. It was an anonymous Mesopotamian businessman whose letter on earth kept evidence of a transaction thousands of years ago. It was Vasco da Gama, it was Columbus, the restaurants that paved the way for Europe to regain control of the world. Or Richard Cobden, a pioneer in the fight for free trade thought in the UK in particular and around the world in general. Trading is not only about exchanging goods, but also about competing for the market, competing for monopoly on trading of goods with great profit. Contact between people belonging to far away countries also means the exchange of deadly pathogens. Merchant crews contributed to the spread of the Black Death in Europe. Spanish expeditions made many peoples of the Americas extinct because of the pathogens they carried. Competing for markets, fighting for strategic commodity resources has been the main cause of most wars from ancient times, from the Peloponnese to two bloody World Wars in the twentieth century. WJBernstein has neutrally recounted the story of commerce and its impact on human society, fully pointing out the bright and dark sides of this story. More importantly, we all know this is an ongoing story, and understanding the past is probably the best, if not the only, way to make the future of the dark side of trade possible. control is better, and on the bright side, commercial benefits bring people, to be promoted more thoroughly.

The image of the street market by the river is still somewhere. Prosperous past Bao Vinh ancient town is located in Huong Vinh commune (Huong Tra town, Thua Thien Hue province), about 5km from Hue city center. This old town is located in the chain of Thanh Ha – Bao Vinh towns, one of the two largest ancient commercial ports in Dang During the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries together with the town port of Hoi An (Quang Nam). In 1636, after moving the lord palace from Phuc An to Kim Long, Lord Nguyen Phuc Lan chose the location of Sinh junction overlooking Thuan An border gate to open Thanh Ha port. Formed on the land of the two villages Minh Huong and Dia Linh due to the immigration and settlement of the Chinese, Thanh Ha town port quickly became a busy and busy commercial port on the boat’s wharf. Merchants from China, Japan, India and some European countries often visit ports to buy and sell goods. Later, Thanh Ha port was filled up and declined. Bao Vinh was born as an inevitable continuation. Bao Vinh is located near the junction, where Huong River meets two dug Dong Ba and Cua Hau rivers. In the past, Bao Vinh was famous for making coffins, carefully mosaic nacre, weaving cloth, masonry, brick and tile, making flour … In 1885, the imperial capital of Hue fell to the hands of French colonialists, Bao Vinh was destroyed destroy and fade gradually. When King Thanh Thai established Dong Ba market street close to the capital (in 1899), Bao Vinh was gradually forgotten. Although no longer an important port, the image of Bao Vinh still exists with the old streets on the river and the unique architecture of the townhouses, bearing bold market street with the function of both living and trading. The typical classic houses have wooden structures, tiled roofs, and interlocking brick walls. Many riverside houses are built in the style of old quadrangle houses (or “banh ú”), facing the river bank, where goods are transshipped with merchant ships. Ancient houses dating from 100 to 200 years have created a distinctive ancient feature for Bao Vinh ancient town. A corner of Bao Vinh ancient town. Difficulty in conservation Bao Vinh ancient town conservation project has been implemented by Thua Thien Hue province since 1991 to promote the value of traditional ancient house architecture and tourism exploitation. At that time, there were 39 old houses here. In 2003, the province had a conservation plan for the old town of Bao Vinh with a research scope of 8ha, but at this time there were only 17 old houses. Currently, Bao Vinh has only 10 old houses, including 6 houses with Vietnamese traditional architecture and 4 houses with French architecture. Currently, the local government with the financial support of the French Senate has just restored 4 old houses. The rest are continuing to wait. Among the remaining old houses, it is worth noting that the house number 77 Bao Vinh of Mr. Phan Tam. This is the only remaining 2-storey wooden house in Bao Vinh. The house of 5 compartments, dating back to nearly 150 years, is now badly damaged and has a significant impact on the lives and activities of people. The old house No. 105 Bao Vinh dating back more than 100 years of Mr. Le Quang Chat is in the same situation. He expressed: “Due to being built for too long, this ancient house has been damaged a lot. Currently, my family has to repair some items to both make accommodation and protect the house from collapsing. Previously, someone came to ask about changing the wooden frame in our old house with a new wooden frame and “compensating” for 12 more gold trees, but my family refused to keep the old house from the ancestors. again”.

At the moment, Puka is known as one of the young female artists who have received much love from the public not only for her talent and friendly personality but also for her brilliant beauty, hot body. eye-catching. In particular, she is also one of the Vbiz beauties possessing a younger, younger face than her real age, it is hard to believe that Puka is now 31 years old. Puka, 31 years old, attracts her opponents with a sweet, chubby look that is characterized by Western women. Thanks to this easy-to-reach beauty, she was given the title “comedy village hotgirl” by a large number of fans. Her body is extremely hot with 3 stretches, from plump mounds, small ant waist and 3 sexy apples. Recently, however, Le Duong Bao Lam “unearthed” the school day image of Puka, people are even more surprised by the once-beautiful beauty of the comedy village. It seems that in order to possess the top form at the present time, Puka has had an admirable “transformation” journey. In the recently released beauty image many years ago, Puka showed that the face of that day was not too bright or outstanding. In some corners of the photo, she revealed a round face and according to Le Duong Bao Lam, he joked that Puka even had a “flat nose and a long chin” that day. However, below the comment section, there are still some comments that praise Puka is cute from the past. Even Midu also said that Puka’s chubby period “felt cute” and in response to her seniors’ compliments, the comedian somewhat revealed that now she has lost a lot of pounds compared to before. Looking back at Puka’s pictures in the past to understand why she has never been involved in any questions about the “cutlery” face. That’s because just lose weight and change makeup style, hairstyle …, the beauty born in 1990 had a spectacular “transformation”. In the early days of entering the entertainment industry, Puka was said to shine with her own talent, but her beauty was still quite faint. Especially her chubby figure, round face and dark skin made her look less shimmering. In addition to the makeup style that makes her face look extremely blurred and quite chubby, Puka has received many comments about her old appearance a few years ago. However, at present, a white Puka, beautiful and charming, has helped her dispel the disparaging comments of the fans before. Compared to the past series of photos, it is no exaggeration to say that the western beauty seems to have completely transformed, from beauty, physique, charisma to fashion style. Many people even praised Puka’s change in a positive direction, helping her become more and more admirable young. That is why, despite being over 30, Puka still mistakenly thinks that she is 19, 20, cute, pretty and chubby. After many years of operation, the reputation of a beauty born in 1990 is also directly proportional to her attractive and surprisingly youthful beauty. It is known that with her very own secrets from weight loss and skin care that she can enhance her face more radiant, younger and more radiant, her skin is smooth, her body is also well-rounded and attractive and. Say no to fasting Puka once shared that there was a time when she gained 10kg more than her current weight just because she often ate at night and had constant cravings. This is due in part to the fact that eating in moderation, or skipping meals and eating the wrong meals. That’s why when she started her journey to lose weight, she said no to fasting and hard diet. Instead, Puka eats on time, does not snack, tries to eat more green vegetables and fruits. Not only does fasting affect your health, but it can also cause you to eat more than you need. For Puka, the beauty focused most on not fasting and not eating at night. Thanks to the reduced weight, the facial features are also slimmer and more delicate. Practice sports every day Puka practices portion control while maintaining a daily routine. Accordingly, she chooses to exercise at home such as walking, jumping rope to keep her slim body. As a result, the weight loss will not make the skin sagging, but also firm and youthful. In addition, Puka also regularly exercises outdoors to limit the accumulation of excess energy causing belly fat. That is the reason why her tight and tiny waist always attracts great waves. Careful skin care Being an artist and often having to make up, filming outdoors, staying up late at work …, these reasons are easy to affect Puka’s skin. While thick makeup, excess oil, pollutants will clog in the pores, creating conditions for acne to develop without thorough cleaning of the skin, an unbalanced sleep regime also makes the skin fast Therefore, Puka is always consciously removing makeup and cleansing skin thoroughly every day before going to bed. In addition, she also regularly moisturizes the skin with the immediate treatment of skin conditions. Skin care is not only thanks to the appropriate products or skin care steps, but also depends partly on the lifestyle of each person.

Panoramic views of Roosevelt Island and the Cornell Tech neighborhood, including the Graduate Hotel in New York City. (Source: CNN) The Graduate Roosevelt Island Hotel – a complex of 224 rooms – will open to welcome guests on June 1. Located at the entrance to Cornell Tech’s innovative new campus, the 18-story tower will be the 29th campus of the Graduate brand and the first in New York. “To be able to open up a hotel in New York City that has its origins in a large university campus like Cornell, the door,” said David Rochefort, President of Graduate Hotels, and alumni of Cornell University. New York City’s entry to technology is truly a unique opportunity for us ”. The Cornell Tech area – which first opened in 2017 – opened up a new chapter for Roosevelt Island, which was once known as a prison complex, a smallpox hospital and a mad asylum. Those few glorious historical days still leave traces on this island. But have now been replaced with modern buildings popping up at Cornell Tech. The Graduate hotel chain breaks the past and present, at the same time changes the world’s view of the island’s history, and towards a more modern future. Entering the hotel, visitors will be overwhelmed by the unique design of the lobby, described as the combination of contemporary elements that interfere with education. President Rochefort also shared: “We like the idea that the hotel lobby will be as reminiscent of the past as possible. So one of the things we did was install a long row of textbook models over the entire backdrop of the hallway. Unique hall design intersects modernity and education of Graduate hotel on Roosevelt Island, New York. (Source: CNN) The highlight that makes the hotel space more joyful than ever is the work of a giant boy wearing glasses pilot holding a light bulb on the front desk. This is a famous sculpture by artist Hebru Brantley depicting Flyboy. The hotel’s key card is designed to resemble Cornell University’s entrance card to complete a style inspired by the long history of this prestigious school. According to the description, the building’s architecture optimizes views of Manhattan Island and the Queens area so visitors can fully enjoy New York City. This is the genius idea of ​​top design firms like Snøhetta and Stonehill Taylor. Interior of the Graduate Roosevelt Island hotel room. (Source: CNN) Deep into the residential area, the Graduate Hotel is accented with striped motifs and lighting fixtures inspired by a Cornell University science project. The most creative of all is the design of a spotlight that can perform Morse code after this school’s famous song. The place that stands out as a crown of the Graduate Hotel is the futuristic modern-style rooftop bar. The event space here will have a panoramic view and the menu is made by the most famous restaurants in New York City – Med Abrous and Marc Rose -. Visitors can visit Roosevelt Island by F boat, NYC Ferry, car or the iconic red cable car. The Roosevelt Island Cable Car is an aerial cable car in New York City that spans the East River and connects Roosevelt Island with Manhattan’s upper east. The first airborne route in North America, opened in 1976 and since then, more than 26 million passengers have traveled by this vehicle. Unique cable car design for traveling between downtown New York and Roosevelt Island. (Source: CNN) The cable car consists of two capsule-shaped compartments that run back and forth on two parallel cable lines. This is one of the few forms of high volume transportation in New York City that is not operated by the Urban Transportation Authority. The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated a boon for the isolated real estate of Roosevelt Island as many families recently moved to this secluded area to stay away from the pandemic. The Graduate Hotel on Roosevelt Island is nothing more than a “building with a magical vibe, and visitors will immediately fall in love as soon as they step into the lobby”.

Believe it or not: there was a time when it was a good idea to attach some wings to an armored tank and use it in combat. The flying tank is designed to use the tank’s firepower and combine it with air force use, but as you might have guessed, it doesn’t work correctly. These are basically gliders attached to tanks, and they can be towed or carried underneath an aircraft. They will then be released and glided into the front to support infantry operations on the battlefield. They are complementary, but different projects never achieve much success. Instead of changing the way humanity fought during the war, this concept was discarded shortly after World War II, although the Soviet Union continued to develop the concept in the 1970s. While flying tanks have become a thing of the past, most of them have been replaced by modern technology. Gunship AC-130 Gunship is fully equipped with equipment and weapons for military aircraft. The fighters carry a 25mm or 40mm multi-barrel Gatling gun and a 105mm cannon, effectively making them far superior to a winged tank. Video phone Long before the invention of television, people imagined a world where they could engage in a telephone conversation while seeing the person they were talking to on the other end of the line. Because of this, technology was developed at a huge cost to the consumer market envisioned about video telephones for decades. By the time such a product was made, it was already too expensive and very few people could afford it. The first devices cost $ 1,500 for a single phone, and the service cost nearly $ 100 a month, making it unaffordable for consumers and companies hesitating to buy. At the beginning of the millennium, companies were still working hard to transmit video communications over phone lines, but the technology was still expensive and difficult to perfect. This eventually led to a complete abandonment of dedicated television systems over telephone lines. Instead, various video conferencing facilities use data networks and the Internet to make calls. Today, people use apps to communicate, although the technology is still available to anyone who wants to use it, most people don’t bother showing up with the person they communicate with, instead they prefer texting, emailing or simple phone calls. Video phone calls have been around for a while, but they have barely changed the world. People are still communicating through voice more than the video alternative, and that’s hard to change. Fiske reader Bradley Allen Fiske made many inventions throughout his life. Of course, not all of these inventions are welcome, like his telescope for naval guns. One such invention, the Fiske Reader, sought to change the way the world absorbs information, but it could not keep pace with the world’s readers. The idea is to use a small handheld device with an amplifying lens for one eye and a shield for the other eye. The text was copied using photo engraving, and printed on cards measuring about 6 x 2 inches. It cannot be read with the naked eye. Using the device, one person can look through the lens and read everything printed on the card. The idea is to reduce the need for paper, to create a new pocket reading medium, and to literally change the way people use text. To prove his invention, he condensed Mark Twain’s The Innocents Abroad on 13 cards. He believes he has revolutionized the publishing industry. It’s not a bad idea, but it’s not how people want to read, and the Fiske Reader was never mass produced. Cryptocurrencies The world’s first cryptocurrency was Bitcoin. When it was first created in 2008 (by an unknown person or group), it looked like it could be a world-changing invention. Cryptocurrencies are forms of digital currency that exist without a central bank or regulator. They are relatively complex, and they can be “mined” by using sophisticated graphics chips with their processing power to create new blocks in a coherent blockchain. Basically, the numbers are collected and slowly create new Bitcoins. Initially, Bitcoins had no real-world monetary value, but by 2016 their value soared to $ 2,900 and within 5 years they peaked in value at $ 19,511, however the price That value was quickly reduced. Theoretically, cryptocurrencies could change the way people conduct business internationally. However, the anonymous nature of exploiting and spending them really only benefits criminal organizations. Although it is a decentralized currency system, it is still susceptible to the same problems as a traditional currency, including counterfeiting, market manipulation, etc. Cryptocurrencies still exist and there are many other things that are not just Bitcoin. However, it is unlikely to change the international monetary system for a multitude of reasons. Motion picture When you go to the cinema, you find yourself sitting in a large cinema, and the only significant light source is the strong projection light in the projector. That light is reflected off the screen, and it works best when there is no other light source, as turning on one of these will blur the images, making it harder to see. There was a time, though, when it was thought that it was best to watch movies in broad daylight. In 1910, that is exactly what some people have tried to do with “daytime motion pictures”. It’s a trend that has spread across America, and it’s spread like wildfire. This concept makes use of darker screens, brighter and more powerful projectors, and it is misinterpreted that movies should be enjoyed in full daylight. California has even passed laws that theaters must have enough light in their theaters for patrons to see. Of course, the fever didn’t last too long. Movie theaters complain that the film doesn’t look good in well-lit rooms. Many other problems that make Daylight Motion Pictures a thing of the past, ultimately still do not change anything and movie theaters still need to watch movies in dark rooms. Cinerama Long before IMAX, the best way to watch widescreen movies was through a process called Cinerama. It was developed by the motion picture industry to counteract the growing trend of television. It was first used in 1952, when This is Cinerama, which premiered in front of a cheerful and enthusiastic crowd on Broadway. The new format projects video onto three large, deeply curved screens, creating extremely large images. It is considered the future of watching movies. However, it never got hold of the market, and in the end it fell into oblivion. The problem with Cinerama technology is, at least initially, it requires three projectors (and three projector drivers) to perfectly synchronize their projections at the same time. Without that, it won’t work properly, so Cinerama needs a lot of people and money to get it going. Most movie theaters are not ready to upgrade due to the cost. By the time the digital technology allows interconnecting projectors without many users, it is too late. There are still a handful of Cinerama locations in use across the country, but it’s a novelty rather than a “world-changing” movie medium. Flying car People have imagined a world full of flying cars even before cars were invented. Over the years, there have been a number of legitimate attempts to create them. Various models were developed in the early 20th century, but they never changed the world. In 1940, Henry Ford said: “Remember my promise: the combination of airplanes and cars will be born. You can smile, but it will come ”. He’s not completely wrong either. The Aerocar flew in the sky later this decade. That car never entered production, and neither did any other prototypes. The biggest problem with flying cars has to do with humans. Most of us are not trained to fly an airplane, much less a winged car or a jet that can keep it aloft. Because of this, there is no government that allows a person to fly around the country without serious regulation. Aerocar, for example, can only fly from airports and cannot simply take off from a highway. The dream is still there, for many inventors, and very often, a new flying car makes a stir around the world. In September 2020, Japan tested a new manned flying car for the first time and although it hasn’t changed the world, theoretically, maybe someday.
