In the past, Dam Vac (Vinh Phuc) had many fish and shrimps, and the inhabitants of the lagoon were proficient in fishing. Dam Vac has a village called Moi village. The whole hamlet is on a promontory like a peninsula in the middle of a lagoon. The whole village has only 5.7 shack roofs. The greatest assets are the boat and the nets. Every day, children wrap clothes in raincoats and swim to the shore to go to school. You guys enthusiastically taught us how to catch lots of fish. Some of us from To Hieu secondary school came back to Cau Phao, two friends from Moi hamlet looked at the lagoon, looked up at the sky, and watched the treetops sway in the wind. Suddenly a friend shouted: Go immediately get a big basket to catch fish. Sure enough, about half an hour later, schools of fish swam back and forth and rushed at each other, racing to jump ashore. I have never seen a fish jump like that. Everyone competes to collect fish. An old woman shouted: “Don’t make the fish jump”. But after seeing too many fish, she also gave up the taboo and rushed to catch fish. In the morning, our children did not study, we went fishing. I fished forever but the fish did not catch the bait. The brother sitting next to him kept jerking. My grandfather told me that my long-shouldered son only went to work as a student, and his younger brother killed fish. At noon, some of us went to catch boys. The mussels of the Vac lagoon were very large, at first we kept carrying the plastic pot, pushing the pot while stepping on the mud to fumble. When you see a boy, you dive down to catch it. Later, the friends in Moi village taught how to catch with a stick. Choose two bamboo sticks to tie the rope, the two boys pull the rope on the bottom of the dress. Seeing that there are mussels and fishes, they quickly dive down to catch them. It only takes about two hours to fill the pot of mussels. Hai’s friend from Vien Nine is very good at catching. According to Dan Khai Quang, those who live far away from the lagoon also went to catch them. In the afternoon, we invited each other to the banks of the lagoon with many caves to fish for rice husks, and in the afternoon my brother and I caught dozens of fish. Every child is fat. At dusk, both the boys and girls of the brick village invited each other to go fishing for shrimp. The fishing rod is just a small bamboo branch, the fishing line is a white thread, and the hook is a bent bicycle brake line. Big and delicious crayfish, you can even catch the back of the basket. There are many ways to fish with nets, fishing nets, cymbals… Many households live by fishing. Why in the old days (in the 60s and 70s of the last century) shrimp and fish were so plentiful and delicious. Oh, when I go home, I wish I could be like the old days!

Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos inspects the New Shepard launch facility in West Texas. A spot on his upcoming flight is up for auction. Photo: EPA This will be the first manned flight conducted by Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin. The flight is scheduled to take place on July 20, the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon. Bezos and his brother Mark, a former advertising executive and volunteer firefighter, will join the flight with the winner of the ship’s airfare auction, with the lowest bid of $2.8 million. USD. In an Instagram post, billionaire Bezos said he had dreamed of traveling into space since he was 5 years old. “I will go on that journey with my brother. The best adventure, with my best friend,” declared the Amazon founder. With an estimated personal fortune of $186.2 billion, Jeff Bezos is one of several billionaire entrepreneurs driving a “new space race,” each pumping billions of dollars into private startups. Their aim is to develop low-cost, commercialized space travel. But while Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson is expected to make a suborbital flight later this year, and SpaceX’s Elon Musk has vowed to “die on Mars,” it’s Bezos who’s the one. Win the race to be the first of this hit trio of billionaires to reach the edge of space. Watch Blue Origin successfully launch and land a reusable New Shepard space rocket (Source: CNBC) Mr Musk has yet to comment on Bezos’ latest statement, while Branson congratulated his rival, saying their two companies are “opening up to space”. “Congratulations to Jeff Bezos and his brother Mark for announcing their plans to go into space. Jeff started Blue Origin in 2000, we started Virgin Galactic in 2004 and now both are opening up access to space – incredible!” Branson tweeted. personal. Musk and Bezos are said to have been head-to-head on several projects over the past decade. Elon Musk sees his tech giant as an “imitation” in some of Amazon’s business ventures, while Bezos mocks the SpaceX CEO’s plans to send people to Mars. Bezos’ company Blue Origin was founded in 2000, touting itself as a means of providing cheaper access to space through the use of reusable rockets – namely the New Shepard that flew 15 times. Jeff Bezos’ space tourism project with Blue Origin is competing with a similar program being developed by Space X, the rocket company founded and run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and the company. Virgin Galactic is backed by Richard Branson. In April 2017, Bezos revealed that he invests about $1 billion in Amazon stock in Blue Origin every year. Blue Origin’s spaceship system consists of a pressurized crew capsule mounted on top of a reusable New Shepard booster. During the first manned flight into space, the crew aboard the New Shepard will spend at least 10 minutes hovering in zero gravity inside the capsule. Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000. The upcoming space flight is the culmination of more than two decades of forays into space for Jeff Bezos, who announced plans to step down as Amazon’s CEO just now. 15 days before flight date. Instead, he will become Executive Chairman of the company he founded in his garage in 1994 – allowing him “time and energy” to focus on other business ventures. Blue Origin named its space rocket program New Shepard after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American to fly into space exactly 60 years ago. The upcoming flight will mark a major milestone in the mission to take paying customers beyond space. However, for now, Elon Musk’s SpaceX seems to be leading in the space billionaire race with multiple launches of NASA equipment to the ISS and a partnership to send tourists to space by 2021. On February 6, 2018, SpaceX launched a rocket to orbit Mars, more than 220 million km from Earth, and NASA selected two astronauts to join the first manned Dragon mission performed by SpaceX. . Watch the video of SpaceX’s Starship rocket being launched and successfully landed for the first time on May 5, 2021 (Source: SpaceX): SpaceX has also begun sending a series of 60 satellites into space to help form its Starlink network. Mr. Musk hopes the program will build a network of interconnected satellites around the Earth, thereby providing free Internet to everyone around the world. Meanwhile, billionaire Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic are taking a different approach to conquering space. Virgin Galactic has repeatedly performed successful test flights of the Unity spacecraft. The first time took place in December 2018 and the last time took place on February 22 this year. More than 600 wealthy clients to date, including celebrities like Brad Pitt and Katy Perry, have booked $250,000 for one of Virgin’s spacewalks. Richard Branson introduces SpaceShipTwo, a spaceship with room for six passengers and two pilots. Photo: Reuters Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo can carry six passengers and two pilots. Each passenger has a seat with two large windows – one on the side and one above. Passengers will become “astronauts” when they reach the Karman line, the boundary of Earth’s atmosphere. The spacecraft will then make a sub-orbital journey with about six minutes of weightlessness. The whole flight took about 1.5 hours.

The jockeys competed on the opening day of the Fansipan horse race with the theme of Horseshoe on the Clouds in June 2019. (Photo: Quoc Khanh/VNA) Not a commercial, not a professional race, the Horse Racing Festival in Bac Ha is a race of farmers and racehorses are also pack horses. On May 31, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism gave Bac Ha horse racing festival (Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province) on the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage. This is considered a great opportunity for Lao Cai province to preserve the unique cultural features in the Northwest highlands. For those who have been born and raised in the “white plateau” land of Bac Ha, Lao Cai, it seems that the daily “sweeping piles… thumping” sounds of the horse-drawn carriages beat on the winding hill roads. , especially at night in the morning, in the afternoon sun or cool afternoon, has been deeply ingrained in the subconscious. The familiar sound of horse hooves also reminds the children of Bac Ha who have been away from home for a long time to be impressed by the traditional horse racing tournament that has existed for hundreds of years in this locality. In the sunny summer days when the hillsides of the Bac Ha highland are full of red plums, it is also the time when the pack horses, the “barefoot knights” temporarily put aside their daily farming work, eagerly preparing to participate in the traditional horse racing tournament – a sports tournament imbued with the traditional cultural beauty of the highland ethnic groups in Lao Cai. In the highland districts Lao Cai The horse is both a close friend and an important daily means of transportation. Every day, in the mornings that have not yet cleared the dew, even though it is still cold, horses still work hard to help the Mong family carry farming tools, fertilizers, and seeds to the fields. In the evening, when the sun shines through the western mountains, it is also the time when horses patiently carry the harvested products from the fields to home. Upland mountain roads are steep and winding, rocky mountains are bumpy, only a horse – a close friend, can help the Mong people sow corn and rice grains on the top of the mountain, and the slopes are precarious. Horse is a friend in everyday life but also a sacred animal in the religious life of the Mong people. The horse is the only thing that transforms into a stretcher to bring the dead to eternity. Only the horse has enough mystical power to carry the Hmong shaman to the heavens, the earth, and the rivers and seas to find the souls of the sick and heal the Hmong. According to Ms. Chu Thi Duong, Vice Chairwoman of Bac Ha District People’s Committee, maintaining the Bac Ha Traditional Horse Racing Tournament is one of the local efforts to honor the fine cultural values ​​of ethnic minorities. Bac Ha highland in general and praised the unique and emotional attachment between upland people and animals that are extremely attached and familiar in their daily life and spiritual life. Click to see standard size. According to history, the Bac Ha horse race is usually held in the spring on a regional scale. In 1975, Bac Ha held a parade with over 200 horses going around the central area to celebrate the liberation of the South and reunification of the country. In the spring of 1980, Bac Ha District Team (Military Command) organized a horse race, shooting to choose good horsemen and gunners to join the militia and transport food by road. After that, Bac Ha did not organize another tournament. In 2007, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament was officially restored. Since then, the award has become an annual festival of Bac Ha district, held once a year, meeting the needs of people to enjoy the cultural and spiritual life, contributing to the preservation and promotion of cultural and sports traditions of ethnic minorities in Bac Ha; promote the image of people, travel Bac Ha to traveler at home and abroad, becoming a highlight to attract tourists to Bac Ha. The previous Bac Ha horse racing festival took place around fields and hills, and ended up in a field in the center of town. When nearly reaching the finish line, the horsemen quickly jumped to the ground, pulled the flintlock on their shoulders and aimed at the target, fired 5 shots, then snatched the red ball, jumped on the horse and returned to the starting point. Whoever is both fast and hits the target the most is the winner. Today, the horse race in Bac Ha is no longer a shooting competition, the jockeys also have a separate arena, the race is organized and more attractive to viewers. Not a commercial, not a professional race, horse racing in Bac Ha is a race of farmers and racehorses are pack horses. In particular, horse racing in Bac Ha is “carpentry racing,” where jockeys ride on horseback without a saddle, without pedals, but only with a belt to tie the horse, two iron hooks tied to the ropes on either side of the jaw to control. In the process of participating in the competition, looking at the jockeys crouching on the backs of the “strong horses” are galloping to see the difficulty and courage of the horsemen on the track. Mr. Vang Van Huynh, a jockey who has won 2 consecutive championships (in 2012 and 2013), shared that when competing, he also needs to observe the opponent’s horse to control the horse, and at the same time, keep a distance to avoid the horse jostling. Collisions can cause accidents: “Sit firmly on your back to control the horse when running. When cornering, pull the reins and slow down to avoid falling. When the road is straight, release the reins and spur the horse to run at full speed. force.” Every year, the Bac Ha traditional horse racing tournament attracts a lot of domestic and foreign tourists to attend. The audience experienced all kinds of emotions: holding their breath when a horse ran too far out of the yard, running towards the barrier; Get your heart racing when a jockey falls off his horse on the track or burst with joy when the horses race past their opponents spectacularly.

Conquer the universe. Photo: Space News. The Korean Ministry of Science, Information Technology and Communication hopes that by becoming the 10th member country of the Agreement, Seoul will further expand cooperation in the field of space with Washington, participating in various fields. the Artemis space exploration program. Accordingly, about 10 years later, Korea will have development steps in space technology on par with the previous potential country. The impetus for Korea to accelerate in the space race Compared to the space powers, Korea has a late start, but the development has positive and rapid results. After the launch of Naro rocket weighing 140 tons and failed in 2013, in 2016 South Korea carried out a Project to develop a spacecraft to explore the Moon worth more than 197.8 billion won (more than 166 million USD). ). As planned, this probe will be equipped with a series of cameras, sensors and spectrometers to collect data on the Moon as well as conduct space connectivity tests. At the beginning of this year, South Korea decided to invest 615 billion won (about 549 million USD) in space projects this year, including plans to launch the first rocket built and developed by the country. new satellites. Accordingly, South Korea also plans to launch a new 200-ton Nuri rocket later this year while a second launch, carrying a satellite, is scheduled for May 2022. In addition, the country will invest 322.6 billion won in projects to develop technology and services for new satellites, and plan to launch a new generation of medium-sized observation satellites next March in Kazakhstan. and is developing a new geostationary communication satellite to put into Earth orbit. Along with participating in the common playing field, Korea’s first lunar orbiter (KPLO – Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter) scheduled to launch in August 2022 has also been developed in cooperation with NASA. In addition, ShadowCam, a device that can overcome visibility limitations to record images in dark areas on the Moon will be installed on this orbiter. ShadowCam is expected to return to the moon’s unlit areas to find potential landing points for the Artemis program. With this event, Korea has gradually developed domestic space technology, combined with the cooperation of other space powers in the world, will gradually occupy an important position in the field of space development. Generally speaking. With this participation, South Korea looks forward to setting a goal of sending its own spacecraft to the Moon by 2030. Accordingly, the country actively promotes challenging space exploration projects, by develop its own launch vehicle and by 2030 can achieve its dream of landing on the Moon. This first step will provide a solid foundation for Korea to conquer space. Korea wants to strengthen national security through this race? Over the centuries, we have witnessed many wars on land and at sea, and those wars have proved the strength of the victors and as well as the lesson of ensuring the safety of the nation, nation. And recently, we have heard and seen the so-called “ocean wars”, meaning the wars in the sea have also begun. As for outer space, decades ago, great powers in this field such as Russia and the United States developed it. And this same nation has also had competition in the conquest of space. The fact that Washington is conducting a manned lunar exploration program, a program to send astronauts to the Moon 50 years after the Apollo project in the 1970s is a sign that the US clearly has a great advantage in this field. race presence on Mars. However, experts say, so far, no country has been confident that it can send people to this planet located 225 million km from Earth. In the context of the race that has shown signs of heating in recent years, and with many worries that the Earth is becoming more and more crowded with humans, Russia and the US are both showing their ambition to soon bring humans to live. on the Red Planet and marks its sovereignty over space entities, including the Moon. From that perspective, the US wants to take action so that space activities can be transparent, preventing disputes over space activities. South Korea cannot stay out of this competition as an ally of the United States. South Korea has begun a feasibility study for a mission to discover the near-Earth asteroid – Apophis. This ensures competitiveness, but is also a first step to position the country on another planet with life in the future.

The situation of overloaded watercraft is common, but the handling of the functional forces is not easy Heart attack with “beam train” In the early days of June 2021, at the post to regulate water traffic at Chuong Duong – Long Bien bridge cluster on the Red River, due to the start of the rainy season, the water level often changes rapidly. However, the situation of overloaded watercraft, especially sand, gravel and construction materials is very common. Many ships carry heavy loads, the hull is deeply sunken, causing water to overflow on the deck on both sides of the ship, feeling like a big wave or storm, the ship can sink at any time. “Every day there are several hundred ships carrying sand and gravel passing through here, there is no ship carrying a load. Every ship carries “beams”. Looking at the ships flooded with water on the floor made my heart flutter. Any train that goes near or recklessly passes when crossing the bridge to create a big wave, I don’t know what the consequences will be,” an employee of the regulation station said. The leader of the Water Traffic Regulatory Station at Duong Bridge said that from the beginning of the year until now, 5-6 cases of cargo ships having problems and being rescued by the rescue station at the above location are overloaded ships. “The stream over the Duong bridge flows fast and round, if the ship is weak and overloaded, the risk of accidents is very high. In the recent cases, if they were not saved in time and crashed into the bridge pier, I don’t know what the consequences would be,” said Mr. Tran Duc Hai, commander of the Duong bridge’s traffic regulation station. Mr. Tran Xuan Khoi, Director of the No. 1 Inland Waterway Management and Maintenance Joint Stock Company, also informed that most of the cases of vehicles having accidents ran aground or sunk at black spots such as Duc Bac reef, Van Lang bridge … are overloaded vehicles. Overloaded ships when traveling through complicated points and channel positions are easily passive and dangerous when avoiding each other or being pushed across by water. Through the camera, we discovered that the overloaded ship was the main “culprit” of flattening and drifting buoys in some dangerous channel locations”, Mr. Crew members of some construction material ships on the Lo River – Red River route admit that overloading is very dangerous, but for the sake of profit, they still have to take risks. “The owner of the sand mine when selling goods only measures the volume, not the size of the container, so he has to load the beams. I know it’s risky, but I have to take the risk,” said Tuan and the owner of the ship VP-xx35, saying that now every ship is overloaded, because carrying the right load, the right registration is not “racing”. with other ships. Hard to deal with Representatives of the above-mentioned waterway maintenance management units said that from the end of June to October every year, waterway traffic in the northern region is often more complicated due to entering the rainy and stormy season. Therefore, functional forces need to strengthen control and strictly handle overloaded watercraft to reduce the risk of traffic accidents and protect the lives of crew members. Mr. Khuong Kim Tao, former deputy chief of the Office of the National Traffic Safety Committee, said that overloading is also a direct cause of traffic accidents and incidents of watercraft when participating in traffic. Therefore, this situation needs to be dealt with immediately. “The regulations on the management and handling of violations of the load of watercraft are quite complete, but why is the violation of overloading still common?”, Mr. Tao questioned and said, the most inadequate today. is the handling of the unresolved authorities. Also, because it has not been implemented to force ships to unload, or to temporarily seize overloaded watercraft according to regulations, it leads to violation of the law. At this point, it is necessary to have a progressive sanction solution for violating watercraft carrying too many times, deducting fines from the account, income of enterprises and owners of violating means instead of having to “follow” the method. facilities for temporary detention,” suggested Mr. Tao. Mr. Luu Xuan Binh, former deputy head of the Office of Traffic Safety Committee in Hanoi shared, having directly surveyed the handling of water traffic violations many times, he witnessed the functional forces facing many difficulties. That is when sanctioning or suspending overloaded vehicles, it is not easy to organize unloading, while there is also no parking lot for vehicles to keep. “The control and handling of violations of overloading on waterways needs to be synchronized at all relevant stages, from the source of goods, ports, receiving terminals and means of transport. If only focusing on handling on the transportation journey will not be effective, “said Mr. Binh. According to Colonel Nguyen Vinh Giang, Head of the Department of Guidance on Traffic Control and the fight and prevention of crimes on waterways (Department of Traffic Police), it is necessary to increase the level of penalties to strictly handle violations of overloading. However, the current limitation is that the system of anchoring and keeping vehicles has been suspended from operation. “So, along with raising the level of fines, localities need to organize the anchoring and keeping areas of suspended watercraft in order to completely handle this situation,” Colonel Giang said. Increase the fine to 15 million According to a representative of the Vietnam Inland Waterway Administration, the current fine for overloaded vehicles is only 12 million VND. In the Draft Decree on handling of administrative violations in the field of waterway traffic (replacing Decree 132/2015), the highest fine level is set at 15 million VND.

Bac Ha horse racing festival In addition to the fresh climate and beautiful natural landscape, Bac Ha is also a land with many famous monuments, such as Hoang A Tuong Palace, Bac Ha temple, Trung Do temple, Thien Long cave.

Because of the fact, despite possessing abundant tourism resources, Bac Ha tourism still has not developed commensurately, tourist growth is low due to the lack of unique products, tourism facilities have not been invested in the same way. the set; the system of hotels and new houses is only on a small scale and still lacks high-quality facilities; tourism human resources have not met the requirements; the advertising, promotion, investment attraction to develop tourism products and services is not effective; ability to connect with Sa Pa, Lao Cai city, Si Ma Cai, Xin Man (Ha Giang) in coordinating tourists is still limited… Recognizing the difficulties in tourism development, and determined to create breakthroughs for Bac Ha’s green economy, according to the tourism development planning of Bac Ha district up to 2020, with a vision to 2030, Bac Ha will focus on multi-faceted development.

In the late 19th century, in Germany, Austrian designer Georg Luger designed a handgun, which operated in a recoil mechanism using an internal hammer and a novel elbow mechanism. When fired, the barrel and the crank mechanism move backwards until they touch a camshaft linked to the elbow, pushing the cartridge out. Then a spring pushes the elbow to close and feed the next bullet into the barrel. The result is a handy sized pistol that holds up to 7 7.65mm Parabellum rounds in a removable cartridge. In 1904, this pistol was upgraded to accommodate the new 9x19mm cartridge, in 1908 it was used as the main gun of several German military units, officially known as P.08 or Luger. The Luger pistol has a beautiful design, smooth crank mechanism, and is a durable, quality gun, but the manufacturing process is complicated and time consuming. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were no modern equipment to produce parts with detailed precision, so each part of each Luger was machined by hand. Small variations in size and finish require skilled people to assemble each finished gun, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. This is a laborious process and when completed, each part of the gun will be serialized. The gun was then disassembled, and the parts were water-stained with blue steel and hardened for durability. Once completed, the gun will be reassembled based on the serial number to ensure that the parts match. That’s why a genuine Luger has a serial number stamped on almost every part and each gun is a finished work of German precision technology. But the Luger gun is not perfect. The mechanism for linking the trigger to the internal hammer is quite long and complex. The trigger is weak and inaccurate despite being light. The rear sight is mounted on part of the elbow, so when firing the elbow rises, blocking the target’s view for a while. However, the Luger worked well, and the elbow mechanism absorbed a lot of the gun’s recoil, making it easy for the shooter to keep aiming. The Luger barrel is a detachable part, with three different barrel lengths: 100mm, 150mm and 200mm. Also at the end of the 19th century, in America John Moses Browning was also designing a self-loading pistol. His first design was completed in 1897, it had a slide that pushed back by gas and ejected the cartridge. A set of springs then pushes the slide forward to load the next round into the barrel. This .32 ACP pistol proved to be extremely reliable and easy to manufacture. In addition to the safety lock on the left side, Browning’s new gun also has a grip safety device, meaning it can only be fired when the rear portion of the handle is compressed. So the gun will not explode if dropped. During tests held in 1910, the new gun fired 5,000 rounds in a single batch, and when the gun overheated, simply dipped in a bucket of water to cool. In 1911, the gun was chosen as the main pistol of the US military, with the designation M-1911, using .45 ACP ammunition. Like the Luger, the early M-1911 pistols weren’t perfect. The rear aiming point is quite small and some people find the reach to the trigger too long. Furthermore, for the first time, shooters learned what a “smasher bite” is, a condition in which the skin between the thumb and forefinger can be painfully clamped between the hammer and the barrel when the cap slides. backward. When the United States entered World War I in April 1917, two pistols faced each other in combat for the first time. The Luger may look like the ultimate weapon, a model of precision engineered advanced engineering. Compared to Luger, Colt looks a bit rough. Early M-1911s had a slide that didn’t fit into the body of the gun and could make a rattling noise if the gun was shaken. However, this also means that manufacturing tolerances are less stringent and the Colt can be manufactured cheaper and faster than the Luger. Luger does not perform well in sandy, dusty or muddy conditions. Small tolerances in the crank mechanism tend to jam the gun too easily. Worse still, if a Luger is damaged that cannot be repaired by taking parts from another Luger, it must be replaced with a brand new Luger. In contrast, the Colt M-1911 pistol can fire in all conditions. Its greater tolerance means it is less likely to jam, even after being dropped in the mud, the .45 ACP bullet has much stronger resistance than the 9mm Luger bullet. Parts are also interchangeable between Colts making field repairs much quicker. The relatively simple Colt proved superior to the complex, precision-built Luger. From 1938, the Luger was gradually replaced by the simpler Walther P.38. During World War II, only colonel officers were equipped with Lugers, due to limited numbers. However, the demand for pistols was growing at the time, causing production of the Luger P-08 to continue until 1944. The strength and raw simplicity of the Colt M-1911 allowed it to continue to serve long to date, while the Luger has long since become a historical relic. Image source: Pinterest.

Recently, giant Nguyen Phuong Hang said that he is considering closing Dai Nam tourist area after many storms related to her livestream on social networks in the past time. Photo: Law & readers In the flashbacks of this enthusiastic work, Phuong Hang revealed that the idea of ​​​​making Dai Nam Racecourse in Dai Nam tourist area appeared spontaneously. Photo: Dainam Accordingly, Dai Nam Racecourse was the idea that was conceived and implemented in less than…24 hours. Derived from Nguyen Phuong Hang’s desire to invest in sports development besides existing tourism. In the next day, Mr. Huynh Uy Dung – Chairman of the Board of Directors ordered the project to be carried out. Photo: Dainam Built on a land plot with a total area of ​​60 hectares located in the tourist area, Dai Nam Racecourse includes 5 different running tracks and racecourses.

Not only 4 levels 4 India is a country of diversity in all aspects: culture, religion, race, language… Hinduism is the largest religion in India (currently 966 million followers) and is the The world’s third largest religion (1.03 billion adherents) played a key role in shaping India’s social fabric. From this religion arose the caste system in Indian society, and it dominates, has a profound, lasting impact with many consequences in society to this day. Dharavi slum in Mumbai. Dharavi is one of the most densely populated places in the world. The blue roofs are actually plastic cloth to keep out the rain. Photo: Daily Mail The structure of Indian society according to writer and cultural researcher Geetesh Sharma is “a collection of irregular elements, but strangely, it is arranged into a clear layer system”. Looking from the outside in, the overlapping Indian society is caste, class, religion, language, region… But if the caste system is positioned as the backbone of the whole Indian social structure, all things will become orderly and clear. This system was formed thousands of years ago, and to this day, it remains the root cause of social unrest. Most Indian and Western scholars agree that the caste system is a feature of Hinduism. However, along with the birth and introduction of other religions, the caste system also had a certain influence on Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Jainism. The English word caste is caste, which is not a single Indian word. According to the Oxford dictionary, caste is derived from the Portuguese word casta, meaning “race, lineage, breed” and primitive meaning “pure and unadulterated”. There is no concept in the Indian language that fully represents the word, but only two approximate terms, varna and jati. Varna means color, and was the first framework of social demarcation in the Vedic period. The four castes in the varna are the Brahmins (the priestly caste, also known as the Brahmin castes), the Kshatriyas (also known as the Rajanyas, the castes of noble princes and warriors), the Vaishyas (the craftsmen) , merchants, farmers) and Shudras (class of slaves, people who did the hard work). However, there is still a fifth caste in the varna system that is not officially recognized in the scriptures, the Dalit (untouchable) caste. People of this caste are considered “outside of society” and have to do jobs that are considered despicable such as dumping feces, picking up trash, etc. Whereas, jati means birth, origin. This concept is less mentioned in the scriptures than in varna. There are thousands of jati, and currently there is no exact definition for this concept. Where is the origin? From the West’s pro-racist theory… There are many explanations from anthropologists, archaeologists and both Indian and world historians as to the origin of this particular caste system over the past century. However, it is possible to temporarily group the hypotheses of Indian caste origin into three large theoretical groups: racial theory, contingency theory, and genetic proofs. Race theory started from a debate between two British researchers and managers in India JC Nesfield and HH Risley. According to Risley, the caste system was formed from racial clash. He suggested that the “light-skinned” Aryans had entered the Indian subcontinent from the northwest and conquered the native “black” Dravidian race. Risley’s explanation is that the Aryans, after conquest, conquered the weaker race, captured women according to their needs and created hybrid offspring, thereby becoming a higher caste. Meanwhile, Nesfield commented that “the issue of caste origin is not only about race, but also about culture”. The racial theory of caste formation encouraged racist ideas, which were originally developed to enhance the status of Europeans in the subcontinent. A family in the slums of Mumbai on April 3. Photo: AP To the objection of the Indian scholar himself học Indian scholars have countered Risley’s racial theory. Researcher Ketkar argues that castes are more a result of tribal conflicts than between Aryans and Dravidians. Ketkar’s view was that all Indians, with limited exceptions from the east, belonged to a single race, and expressed concern that racial theories could cause division in society. The reactions of the Indian scientific community led to the creation of the so-called random theory. In this view, caste regimes are the product of specific historical events, which may be limited to a particular time and place. This theory has an important contribution Dr. Ambedkar (who comes from the Dalit caste, and also drafted the Constitution of India). Ambedkar rejected the racial theory and attacked those who had “used biology to protect the caste system”. He emphasized on Nesfield’s research with the conclusion that there is no racial difference between different castes in the same area, and at the same time concluded that “the caste system is the distinction in society between different castes”. people of the same race”. End of the hundred year debate In the mid-1990s, scientists began to use genetics as a tool to examine the origin of caste systems as well as the extent to which castes were related. Since then, a series of genetic studies on the caste system have been produced. The first genetic studies reached conclusions consistent with the randomization theory. Accordingly, there is no corresponding relationship between genetic relationships and socio-cultural structure. Subsequent studies, however, yielded very mixed results, with some supporting the race theory. To date, studies using genetics to understand the origin of the caste system continue to be carried out. Liberate class, liberate people Although the debate has not yet led to a final result, it has at least contributed much differently, from the rejection of the “divine” about the origin of the castes, when the Rig-Veda (Vedas) that castes were born from different parts of the primitive man, in which the upper caste was born from the upper body, and the lowest caste was born from the heart. This is extremely important, because it will lead to the destruction of the concept of “class is inherently natural, is immutable”. This was the premise to liberate the lower castes from the strict caste system, and was an important step towards human liberation. Medical staff check people’s health in a slum in Mumbai. Photo: Guardian Second, studies have shown that caste originates from socio-political factors rather than from religion. And without exception, the caste system is a tool created by rulers to establish a stable, orderly and favorable social structure for them to easily rule. The current caste system is a huge barrier affecting India’s development. Recent surveys show that caste discrimination still shows no signs of abating, but on the contrary, tends to be more serious. The 2014 census shows that the percentage of people from the lower castes, especially those belonging to the Dalit caste, are facing severe discrimination with the lowest percentage in the following criteria: access to education, health care, employment… Social injustices related to the lower castes persist, whether in urban or rural areas, demonstrating the tension in modern Indian society. Although the Indian government has constitutionally prohibited the practice of any discrimination against the lower castes, the fact that there are separate laws on “reservation” for the lower castes shows that The situation is not optimistic. Specifically, India has compiled a list of vulnerable castes, and calls it “Nominal Castes”. Accordingly, all state agencies (including the National Assembly), universities, military, police… must reserve a certain percentage of their “seats” for these identified classes. This, while having a positive effect on the lower castes, clearly demonstrates India’s inability to prevent discriminatory practices.

Unlike the Arctic, where many countries around the world have built their own bases to serve a number of fields both in terms of science, economy and military, for Antarctica, this is still an unofficial land. government although the countries closest to it are Argentina, South Africa and Australia. Every year, during the winter, Antarctica does not receive any sunlight for 6 months; In summer, the sun is always on the horizon. Most of the sunlight falling on Antarctica is reflected back by the white ice, 1.9km thick on average, plus the highest terrain in the world (2,800m above sea level) giving this place its climate. coldest on earth. In the middle of summer, when the sun is perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer, the average temperature in Antarctica is -25°C. In winter, when the sun moves down the Northern Hemisphere, Antarctica is as cold as -65°C and in some places -89.2°C. A cruise ship takes visitors to Antarctica Initially, only seven countries made claims, including Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, and Great Britain, by setting up facilities in the name of scientific research. Some other countries such as India, Italy, Russia, USA, Pakistan, Ukraine… although not claiming sovereignty, they also build long-term and sustainable constructions. In 1959, after much controversy, in order to prevent military conflicts, the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and nine other countries signed the Antarctic Treaty, which essentially “set aside territorial claims” and use Antarctica for peaceful purposes only. Jane Francis, head of the Antarctic Survey, UK, said: “In 1980, five more countries made claims to sovereignty and now, 54 countries are present in Antarctica with 75 research stations. That poses many problems that need to be solved, such as climate change, fishing, tourism, resource exploitation…”. The results of 50 years of observations show that temperatures in some areas of Antarctica are rising much faster than the global average. This leads to melting glaciers and consequent sea level rise. Marine biologist Damon Stanwell-Smith, who first visited Antarctica more than 25 years ago, said: “Things have changed rapidly and we can see clearly. Just six years ago, there was Areas that are not accessible by boat during the winter are now experiencing large currents, allowing tour operators to bring tourists to visit Antarctica. Still according to Damon Stanwell-Smith, from November last year to April last, despite the raging COVID-19 pandemic, 51,000 tourists set foot on Antarctica, an increase of 17% over the previous year and will continue to grow. continues to increase even though the tour price is from 1,000USD to 100,000USD per person depending on geographical distance. “In addition to the 33 ships registered with the Antarctic Treaty Secretariat, there are 20 other ships under construction, not to mention the kayaking or air-plane tours that make Antarctica an oasis,” Mr. Damon said. play uncontrollably…”. The majority of tourists to Antarctica are Chinese, second only to the US in the ranking because Beijing is investing heavily in the continent, as part of its plan to become a “polar power”. What is Antarctica when the Antarctic Treaty is no longer in place? The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty was adopted in 1991. It entered into force in 1998 and is the main instrument related to the conservation and management of biodiversity in Antarctica, in which There is a ban on exploitation of natural resources. However, after 50 years, the countries that signed the Antarctic Treaty can decide to amend the fishing ban provided that at least three-quarters of the current consultations – the 29 countries of the Antarctic Treaty – agree. Notice when the 50-year period will end in 2048. Whales slaughtered at a logistics base in Antarctica However, before the Environmental Protection Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty, seal hunting in Antarctica was practiced as early as the 18th century by the British, Norwegians, Argentines and Chilean. Meanwhile, large-scale whaling in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters increased sharply in the early 20th century, mainly by Norwegian and British companies. Whaling logistics stations erected in Antarctica are implied to be part of that country’s territory because, under international law, state activity is a key element of ownership territory. It is therefore not surprising that it is expressed in many forms by all the claimants to Antarctica, from scientific research facilities to dormitories for experts, rescue stations or offices that maintain navigation, airports, logistics, harbors, lighthouses, not to mention that some governments license whaling, seals, The establishment of national parks, the issuance of postage stamps, the mapping and naming of each area, etc., are concrete examples of the race to own Antarctica. According to National Geographic, UK, an increasing number of activities are damaging Antarctica, such as legal and illegal fishing, including the molluscs it contains. is the main food for whales. Arthur Devries, a fish biologist at the University of Illinois, USA, said that since 2003 he has not found an adult toothfish in Antarctica while in 1970, he caught 500 fish for a season to study a protein in the body of fish that helps make anticoagulants. Environmentalist Huck Dulown of the University of Gundee, UK, says he has collected hundreds of meters of damaged nets left behind by fishing boats, not to mention engine oil and household waste. travel. Huck Dulown said: “There are places called ‘scientific research stations’ but maybe inside are not military bases and it is not excluded that it hid missiles with nuclear warheads as it once happened. It goes against Article 1 of the Antarctic Treaty: “Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only. Any measures of a military nature, such as the establishment of military bases, the conduct of military exercises, the testing of any weapon, are prohibited. Antarctica is humanity’s last unspoiled reserve. Under the ice of this continent is an extremely large mineral resource including oil, copper, gold, titanium, uranium, rare earth …, and the surrounding seas are inhabited by many types of creatures. In addition, the glaciers in Antarctica contain 90% of the fresh water in the world, so South Africa, for example, was planning to pull an iceberg to serve the freshwater shortage in the city of Cap Town. A scientific research station in Antarctica And although Antarctica itself is a demilitarized zone, armed conflicts have arisen in a number of its vicinity, including Chile and Argentina over an island near Cape Horn, as well as claims to the South China Sea. The two countries’ overlapping territorial claims, or the war between Argentina and Great Britain over the Falkland Islands, is the gateway to Antarctica. Although the war ended long ago with the victory belonging to Britain, according to observers, it is very likely that it will flare up again. Jim Tymothy, a professor in the Department of Geopolitics, Yale University, USA, said: “The fate of the territories in Antarctica depends on the coordination of the great powers. If coordination is not achieved, the continent will share seven in the next 20 to 30 years, and that could lead to an Antarctic war, is based on these factors: The emergence of technology that allows the rapid and economical supply of fresh water from glaciers in the South China Sea. Antarctica to dry regions, rising oil prices and increasing demand for crude oil Besides, food also needs to be exploited more due to the growing global population, which requires fishing in Antarctic waters…”. At the moment, there is no such convergence of interests, but more than ever, it is likely to take shape because over 60 years, up to now, 54 countries have joined the Antarctic Treaty. including 29 European countries, 9 Asian countries, 8 South American countries, 4 in North and Central America, 3 in Oceania and 1 in Africa. Not only that, the number of consultative parties of the Treaty with bases in Antarctica is also constantly increasing: Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Chile, People’s Republic of China, Korea Countries, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, UK, India, Italy, Norway, New Zealand, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Spain, South Africa, Ukraine, Uruguay, USA and Switzerland. The remaining 25 countries join the Antarctic Treaty as non-consulting parties but still have the right to attend relevant meetings without being included in the decision-making process. However, although “not included in the decision-making process”, these 25 countries still assert their position in Antarctica through scientific research stations, airports, ports, logistics facilities, etc. So the Antarctic race probably hasn’t stopped yet because no one is sure that in the future, no country will send people to this cold continent…

The community of cross-country runners in China experienced great shock and mourned after the deaths of 21 people in the cross-mountain cross-country running competition held in Baiyin City, Gansu Province, northwest of this country. The tragedy that claimed 21 lives is said to be similar to a 2009 run in France that was not postponed when the weather suddenly turned bad. More new details about the race are being revealed from the accounts of survivors. Several athletes died in the arms of teammates This event is called the fourth “100 km through the Yellow Rock Forest” trail running with more than 170 athletes participating, taking place on May 22. Officials in the city of Baiyin apologized, pledging to investigate the tragedy and compensate the families of the deceased. Additional rescues were dispatched – up to 1,200 people in total. Photo: China OUT. The track area is not too high terrain compared to some other races, nor does any section of the track have glaciers or high passes. The highest position on the track “100 km through Yellow River Stone Forest” has an altitude of 2,250 m. There were no problems in previous events and the race became a popular event. But this year, nature had an unusual rage. There were warnings of bad weather the day before the race but no one expected the weather to turn so severe so quickly. Athletes shared on social media that even before the race started, they had to find a foothold to avoid high winds. Some people even feel relieved at first because it won’t be too hot (the temperature in Gansu is usually very high at this time). Most runners wear shorts, a T-shirt, or a lightweight windbreaker when the wind is strong. The weather started to turn bad about 3 hours after the race started. The temperature suddenly dropped sharply and hail appeared. Many athletes were blown so hard by the wind that they could not move, their faces and heads were bruised, bleeding from hail, and their whole bodies were soaked from the rain. They are disoriented and cold, some can’t even stand, or try to find shelter behind the rocks, or worse, get lost in the terrain full of steep and eroded gorges. The gust of wind caused many people’s help blankets to tear to pieces. Some athletes have died in the arms of teammates while gathering together to warm up. They were unable to locate in time due to harsh conditions and poor visibility, even when using GPS and rescue crews equipped with infrared cameras. Additional rescues were dispatched – up to 1,200 people in total. Some athletes were lucky to survive thanks to a local herder named Chu Khac Minh. Mr. Chu Khac Minh inside the cave used to hide in bad weather. He saved at least 6 lives in the race by taking them to temporary shelters. Photo: Getty Images. Mr. Chu is called a hero for allowing many athletes to hide in his cave. A number of other athletes were also taken by locals to their homes for temporary shelter. The hardest part of the track Many athletes did not bring enough thermals because the weather in previous races was quite mild. Survivors said that despite the cold and wind, they somehow had the strength and determination to keep moving, while others were exhausted and stopped to die. Some people were blown down the mountainside by the wind. Unfortunately, the weather took its toll on runners right at the hardest part of the track, between stations two and three, less than 30 kilometers from the starting point. One survivor recounted his ordeal at that passage: “The wind hit me with raindrops like bullets, it was really painful. I couldn’t open my eyes because of the strong wind and heavy rain, I had to squint to see.” “This is the hardest part of the track…it’s 8km long, with 1,000m of climbing. Only going up, not going down. The road on the mountain is rocky and gravel. Many sections are very steep,” he said. A goat herder’s cave where athletes take refuge. Photo: Handout. “Runners have to climb on all fours, motorbikes can’t get through here, and station 3 has no supplies. Even when you’ve reached the top, all hopes for food, water, and hot water are in vain. It was a barren mountain. There is no way to withdraw from the race at this point. You have to endure to get to station number four.” Pre-race photos show the athlete wearing shorts and a T-shirt. However, in fact, the race organizers have a list of mandatory and recommended equipment to bring. Accordingly, each runner must carry a GPS device that provides his or her location. Other tracking devices are provided by the organizers. Additionally, each runner is provided with a GPS map of the track to upload to their GPS watch, but tracking it in inclement weather is impossible for many. The list of recommended equipment to bring includes an emergency medical kit that includes pain relievers, antihistamines, anti-diarrheals, bandages, electrolytes, sunscreen, energy gels, sun hats, sunglasses, hiking lights, windbreak and a warm underwear. In China, equipment testing in mountain races is taken very seriously. Runners lacking the required items will not be allowed to start, and will still be subject to random checks throughout the race, leading to time penalties and disqualification for missing required items. This race does not include cold weather items such as fur coats or waterproof jackets, or trousers, as mandatory items. The authorities were quick to step in. An investigation was immediately announced by the Central Disciplinary Commission into both the cause of the tragedy and the responsibility of the race organizers. The local government decided to suspend upcoming long-distance races, not only mountain races but also road marathons. The Lanzhou Marathon in Gansu has just been announced, and the list of postponed races is getting longer and longer. A goatherd named Zhu Keming (far right) saved six runners after bad weather killed 21 others. Photo: Handout. Among the victims of the Gansu tragedy is Luong Tinh, 31 years old – China’s outstandingly talented cross-country running superstar. At the time of his death, his ranking in the International Trail Running Association (ITRA) rankings was 918 points, 8th in the world. He is the top cross-country runner in China and Asia. Luong Tinh also won in last year’s organization of this very race. Luong Tinh in an earlier race in Hong Kong. Photo: Sportograf. A witness said Luong Tinh’s body, when found, had no skin on his knees. He died of hypothermia, was blown into a canyon by the wind, and was unable to get up. Finally, Luong Tinh could not stand the cold, he left, leaving behind his wife and children. In addition, among the dead was Hoang Ngan Bin, who was closely following Luong Tinh in the race. As a professional track and field athlete, with more endurance than people and always positive, Hoang Ngan Bin’s talent has brought him to the top of this sport. Hoang Ngan Bin’s body was found not far from Luong Tinh. The third famous victim is Hoang Quan Quan, the national marathon champion of the 2019 Paralympic Games for the disabled. The organizers put profit above safety Gansu is blessed with breathtaking nature and many cultural and historical relics spanning the entire Chinese civilization, with the oldest dating back to more than 6,000 years old. To improve the livelihoods of local people in rural areas, the regional government in Gansu has been making use of these resources. Organizing outdoor events, such as trail races, is one of the ways to boost the economy and generate income. China’s outdoor industry has grown tremendously in recent years, with city dwellers increasingly interested in mountain sports such as long-distance running. Some of the world’s top long-distance mountain races are now held in China, and top international athletes also participate. One survivor received medical treatment after the race. Photo: Reuters. The organizers of the Yellow Forest Trail has been heavily criticized by the media and the running community. News site Wangyixinwen reports that all 22 race employees are part-timers. A similar website also reported that despite numerous calls to rescue the runners starting around noon, the organizers only reluctantly halted the race and eventually agreed to do so at around 2pm. China’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said that some local officials put profit above safety, which led to the tragedy that left 21 people dead in Gansu province. Michel Poletti, co-founder of Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, one of the world’s leading cross-mountain events with two races franchised in China, said the tragedy was reminiscent of another race. “There was also a similar accident in France in 2009, during a race (100 km) at the Mercantour. Those were the boom years of long-distance running, the situation in France in 2009 was more or less the same as China now… lots of new races,” he said. “Three athletes were killed, for exactly the same reason – a big storm hit… some (athletes) died of the cold, others slipped. The organizers made a big mistake by not stopping the race in time.”

Referring to the famous gilded castles in Vietnam, it is impossible not to mention the golden chicken castle of the “iron” giant Thanh. The castle is located on the banks of To Lich River near Hoang Quoc Viet Street (Cau Giay District) with an area of ​​​​about 400m2, built 5 floors high, designed like ancient castles abroad. The walls of the building are decorated with elaborate motifs. In particular, on the roof of the castle are 6 large gold-plated chickens worth about 20 billion VND. The interior of the golden chicken castle is in classic European style, with two main tones of brown and yellow with many details inlaid with gold. The “unique” house inlaid with gold in the heart of Tay Do A few months ago, a house in Ninh Kieu district (Can Tho) caused a stir when it was inlaid with gold from the outside to the inside, even the entire house was inlaid with gold by the owner. All items in the house are gilded by the owner. The owner of this unique house is Mr. Nguyen Van Trung, a famous tycoon in the field of real estate in Can Tho. Mr. Trung said that he was very impressed with the house decoration style, the interior is in gold-plated tones, so he has cherished building a house inlaid with gold for a long time. It was not until 6 years ago that he started to build this house and it took 3 years to complete. The house is designed on a ground floor and two floors, with lavishly decorated and overwhelming interiors. The golden villa of the giants of Vung Tau In December 2020, Ba Ria – Vung Tau police arrested Mr. Le Thai Thien (55 years old, living in Phu My town) to clarify the behavior of high interest loans and money laundering. The incident caused a stir in public opinion about this giant’s magnificent gold-plated villa on an area of ​​more than 3,000 m2, located prominently in front of National Highway 51, passing through Phu My town. From the outside, the villa is as bright as gold, but according to Mr. Thien’s explanation to the previous press, the outside of the villa is only painted in yellow, only the interior details are covered with 24k gold. , including ceilings, walls and some other details. The castle inlaid with 1,500 billion gold of the giants of Ninh Binh The castle named Thanh Thang is owned by Mr. Do Van Tien (52 years old) – a businessman in Ninh Binh – business in the field of cement production. The building is located on National Highway 1A, passing through Gia Vien district (Ninh Binh). The project was built with a total cost of up to 1,500 billion VND. The castle was built in the European Royal style with a total area of ​​more than 14,000m2. The work is inspired by St. Peter’s Church and works in the Vatican (Italy) combined with some pure Vietnamese details and the owner’s preferences. The interior of the castle is designed in a classical European style, with dark arched domes, high ceilings, and spaciously divided rooms. In the center of the building, the embossed details on the ceiling are all gilded. The garden house inlaid with 24k gold of the giant Hai Duong The house of giant Nguyen Van Thanh (Hai Duong) stands out with European neoclassical design style, especially, the interior of the house is plated with luxurious 24k gold. According to the disclosure of the owner, the total area of ​​​​the entire project, including the house, the warehouse area, the garage and the garden is 675 m2. In which, the residential part is 160 m2 with 2.5 floors for the whole family to live. To have the present appearance, the house had to go through 2 phases of construction, repair and completion with a total cost of 26.6 billion VND, equivalent to 1.1 million USD. From the outside, the house looks like a garden villa, but entering the house, any guest must be overwhelmed by the decorative motifs inlaid with 24k gold. In the corners of the walls, or on the ceiling are gilded from pure gold leaves. The owner of the house revealed that, in order to synchronize with the design of the house, all furniture and decorations were ordered from abroad or designed in accordance with European style. There are furniture items worth nearly a billion dong, such as a 24k gold-plated chandelier set at 930 million dong, or a set of tables and chairs in the living room that also costs nearly 1 billion dong.

In the latest collaboration project of Hermès, the French brand has collaborated with French cartoonist Ugo Bienvenu to draw two new versions of silk scarves inspired by American comics from the 20th century. imbued with popular culture because Ugo Bienvenu does not “popularize” the iconic silk scarf, but on the contrary, honors the original value of the fashion house. The Derby of the Stars Iron, steel and running with the engine of a dream, the robot horse that pops up in the middle of the galactic track doesn’t end up being too science-fiction, instead evoking a bit of the retrofuturistic that is so popular in the movie. past decade. Historically inspired by equestrianism and its ties to the Hermès tradition of saddlery and leathermaking, Ugo Bienvenu’s work depicts an interstellar Derby where horse racing is not limited by any laws of physics. In the midst of that magical setting – with two silk scarves color options that seem to represent the engravings of sunrise and sunset – the Hermès horseman appears generous and sophisticated, with 100% of his mind focused on the race. his fantasy. Not only silk scarves, accessories are also introduced by Hermès to brand lovers including pendants, bracelets and watches. Notably, two versions of the Clic Clac bracelet are crafted from a special metal with beautiful enamel. On the enameled background, the scene of the fantasy race is simulated with the delicate and vivid drawings of Hermès artisans to form a lovely miniature galaxy that hugs the wrist. Galaxy on the dial The most important highlight of the Space Derby are the two Arceau Space Derby watches with respectively 38mm dial sizes – with diamond bezel and pink Opaline dials – and 41mm sizes with quartz dials. blue. Both models are produced in limited numbers: 24 pieces of 38mm and 12 pieces of 41mm. The Arceau model is the perfect choice to showcase Ugo Bienvenu’s artwork, as the two pairs of asymmetrical lugs inspired by the stirrup pay tribute to the brand’s heritage. The romantic spirit and comic inspiration show that Hermès truly cares about 20th century art and popular culture. Each dial is completely handcrafted by artisans down to details like the folds. on the horseman’s uniform or the shadow cast on the sturdy body of the armored horse. The dials of both Arceau models are worthy of being considered delicate and romantic works of painting, requiring the highest skill of not only the artist but also the kiln master, because even a slight deviation in temperature can completely destroy the dial of a watch. Inside the cases of both models is the H1837 movement – ​​a movement manufactured by Hermès itself with a power reserve of up to 50 hours. Interestingly, despite being equipped with the same movement, in the 38mm, the Moonphase feature will be added and displayed on the dial as a feminine indulgence, while the 41mm is not displayed. this ability. Hermès brand is genuine distributed in Vietnam by Tam Son International Company.

Two of China’s top track and field athletes were among 21 people who died due to extreme weather during a 100km race in Gansu province on May 22. Those are two names that are no longer strange in the world of athletics: Luong Tinh, a super-marathon champion, and Hoang Quan Quan, a deaf long-distance runner. “We have lost the masters of this sport. This is an earthquake for our sport,” wrote one Weibo user. Luong Tinh in an earlier race in Hong Kong. Photo: Sportograf. Athletes had a hard time when the race was interrupted by temperatures dropping to freezing. Survivors said the weather forecast said there would be wind and rain, but did not mention anything as extreme as what they experienced. The mountain race had to be stopped when some of the 172 runners went missing, and a major rescue operation was launched. The regional government was heavily criticized for not having a contingency plan. China’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said that some local officials had put profit above safety, which led to the tragedy that left 21 people dead. Great loss Luong Tinh is one of China’s most successful ultra-marathon runners and is fondly called “Saint Liang” or “General Liang” because of his ability. The 31-year-old has won many long-distance races in the country, including the Ultra Gobi in 2018 – a 400 km race through the Gobi desert. According to pictures taken near the start of the race on May 22, which were widely circulated on Chinese media, he was only wearing shorts, a light jacket and a cap. By the time he was found by rescuers, he was already showing no signs of life. According to pictures taken near the start of the race on May 22, which were widely circulated on Chinese media, Luong Tinh was only wearing shorts, a thin jacket and a cap when running. Photo: Weibo. On Chinese social media, fans mourned his death, describing it as a “huge loss” for the country. “Without General Salary leading the way, who will the other super marathoners look to?”, one commented. Another victim, Hoang Quan Quan, 34, is known for winning the deaf men’s marathon at China’s 2019 National Paralympic Games. According to local media, he is a native of Sichuan, became deaf at the age of one after a “drug accident”, and also cannot speak. He did not excel in his studies and struggled to get a steady job. He often had financial difficulties and had to eat instant noodles for a meal. But what he does best is run, so he competed in races for years in hopes of winning the prize money. The May 22 race rewards runners 1,600 yuan ($248) each if they complete the run. Local media reported that after learning of his death, a friend of Hoang Quan Quan cried thinking about what he may have suffered in his final moments of life. “He’s deaf and can’t speak, he can’t even call for help,” said the unnamed friend. What happened at the race? On social networks are appearing more and more sharing about this race. The race starts at 9am on May 22. One survivor said the weather forecast caught them off guard. He felt that the weather was not normal that day, but the participants were not wearing warm enough clothes, many of them wearing short clothes. “I ran 2 km before starting to warm up… but the problem is that after running this 2 km, my body still hasn’t heated up,” the contestant said on her WeChat account. About three hours after the race started, the mountain track area of ​​the race experienced hail, heavy rain and high winds, causing temperatures to plummet, according to officials in the nearby city of Baiyin. A runner named Mao Shuzhi told Reuters : “The rain was getting heavier and heavier, at that time I had run about 24 km and had not reached the mountain.” She decided to go back to the hotel, and had been struggling with severe hypothermia on the way back. “At first, I regretted it, thinking it might just be a shower, but when I saw the gusts of wind and the big storm through my hotel room window when I returned, I felt so lucky because decided to come back.” Many athletes were stranded, cold and lost their way due to the weather affecting visibility. Rescue crews at the scene. Photo: AFP. An unnamed runner quoted by The Cover described the freezing rain as “bullets in the face”. He said there was a particularly steep section of the mountain and the open ground had nowhere to hide. “The rain really hurt, and the wind was so strong that you had to close your eyes,” he said. He added that even if someone brought a thermal blanket, it would be ripped apart by strong winds. Some of the runners who ran further fell off the trail into deep ravines. It is unclear how many of them survived. State media said a rescue operation involving more than 1,200 people with the help of thermal imaging drones and radar detectors had been launched. But rescue efforts have come too late for many victims. The incident has sparked public outrage on Chinese social media, mainly aimed at the Baiyin government and condemning the organizers’ lack of contingency plans. At a press conference on May 23, Mayor of Baiyin, Zhang Xuchen – who also fired the starting shot of the race – said: “As the organizers of the event, we feel guilty and We express our deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of the victims and those injured.”

The morning of May 22 started with the excitement of 172 athletes waiting at the starting line. They are participating in the 100 km cross country race in Gansu province, China. Before the opening whistle blew, Zhang Xiaotao felt that it was cold and the wind blew the hats of several other athletes. This is a sign that a series of challenges await him in the race ahead. Just a few hours later, Mr. Truong was lying unconscious on a rugged mountain due to the rain and the bone-chilling wind. Rescue vehicles joined the search for the athletes. Photo: AFP. Moment of life and death Truong Tieu Dao is a sports blogger. He was among the survivors rescued after being trapped in hail and cold winds without any protective gear. More than 1,200 rescuers were deployed to search for athletes on the mountainside. A total of 21 unlucky people were killed. Many people have fainted before because of hypothermia. According to Truong, the contest started at 9am. During the first 20 km of the competition, he felt the weather was still within an acceptable level. However, when it came to the hill climb, the runners began to face the most difficult part of the race when heavy rain obscured their vision. “The rain kept hitting my face and my eyes blurred. I couldn’t see the road clearly,” he said. Right before starting to climb the mountain, Mr. Truong overtook Hoang Quan Quan, the men’s marathon champion at the 2019 Paralympics. Mr. Hoang died not long after. A surviving athlete undergoes a health check in a hospital in Baiyin City. Photo: AFP. By the time the athletes reached the middle of the mountainside, it was already past 10am. Truong Tieu Dao felt that the wind was strong at that time, about level 9. Cold rain and strong wind swept across his face, making him feel like a knife. His whole body trembled because he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, shorts and a thin jacket to block the sun. When faced with weather that was harsher than a sandstorm, Zhang Xiaotao continued to run for a few more kilometers. By this time, his body became cold due to hypothermia. The wind was so strong that he slipped and fell dozens of times until he couldn’t get up on his own and fainted. His left arm and leg were injured. “At this point, I surrender to the wind and rain.” When he woke up, he found himself in a cave, wrapped in a blanket and sitting by the fire. A shepherd found him and brought him to safety. “I owe him my life,” said Truong. Chu Khac Minh is a resident of Truong Sinh village. Every day, he went to the top of the mountain to herd sheep. On May 22, when it started to rain, he had to go to the cave to take shelter. In the past, he also used to heat and cook here. When he looked up the hill, he saw that in the rain, Zhang Xiaotao was fainting. Before that, he had also saved five other people. Mr. Zhou tried to carry Zhang Xiaotao on his back, moving little by little towards the cave. At this time, Mr. Truong was still aware that he was being dragged away. However, because of his small body, Mr. Zhou could only drag him on the ground. After that, a few athletes who had recovered temporarily joined forces to bring Zhang Xiaotao into the cave. It took more than two hours from the time Mr. Truong fainted until he was rescued. Zhang Xiaotao is the only survivor among the top 6 athletes. Unforeseen danger After two days of treatment to restore health, Truong Tieu Dao was discharged from the hospital and returned to his hometown in Luoyang. As he exited the train gate, a member of the welcoming crew hugged him. The man gave him a bottle of water and said, “Now go home, drink some water.” He used the palm of his hand to turn the cap of the water bottle. His fingers were still numb. Zhang couldn’t even tear the plastic bag to get the mask. Baiyin city government officials said the tragedy happened due to a sudden change in weather when the athletes were at an altitude of 2,000 meters. The story of athletes stuck without phones, without raincoats published by Chinese media has caused outrage in the past few days. Rescuers rushed to find the athletes. Photo: AFP. By the evening of May 23, the Gansu provincial government had set up a task force to investigate the incident. It is one of the deadliest events in Chinese sports. This raises concerns about the dangers of the transcendental runs that draw thousands of participants each year. Even the most veteran cannot avoid danger. As cross-country races have grown in popularity over the past two decades, organizers have continued to include increasingly difficult challenges and longer races. The cross-country run on May 22 is part of a series of annual programs that have been successfully held in the previous 4 years. This is seen as a way to promote tourism in Gansu, one of the poorest provinces in China. Participants are usually mountain climbers and cross-country runners. Many of them are motivated by the prize money as well as the glory. According to the event’s official account, the prize pool for this year’s contest is around $2,300. Yun Yancao, one of China’s top athletes, did not participate in the competition. However, he lost two friends, Hoang An Bin and Luong Tinh. The contest is an opportunity for them to earn a large amount of money because neither of them comes from rich backgrounds. Luong Tinh in an earlier race in Hong Kong. Photo: Sportograf. According to Mr. Van, Luong Tinh participated in the contest because of his wife and young children, as well as his passion. “Luong Tinh always works and trains hard. He cares about his family a lot,” Mr. Van commented. Experiencing life and death moments, Truong Tieu Dao still loves this sport and will continue to participate. However, for him, it was still a painful lesson: “I will carefully consider the different factors and improve my gear in the competition.” “Man is very small before nature. A wind, a rain can take anyone’s life,” he said.

Cyprus requires travelers to have a negative Covid-19 test valid 72 hours prior to departure to the country. (Photo: AP) The world’s tourism-driven economy destinations are racing to open their borders and revive economies ravaged by the pandemic. The large-scale deployment of Covid-19 vaccination has given many places new confidence to welcome tourists back. But the moment is still really difficult. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) estimates that the global tourism industry lost nearly $4.5 trillion and lost 62 million jobs last year. The world aviation industry alone lost $126 billion last year and will lose another $48 billion this year. However, inconsistent regulations to reopen international travel globally could make it difficult for anyone planning to travel this summer. For example, in Cyprus there are restrictions on places considered higher risk, requiring arriving passengers to take a negative PCR test for Covid-19 valid 72 hours before departure and to do so. new test upon arrival. Travelers must also self-isolate until they receive their Covid-19 test results. Europe Europe is opening up gradually. Last week, the ambassadors of the European Union (EU) agreed to allow visitors who have had a full dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, one of the vaccines licensed by the European Medicines Agency or come from places located in the UK. on the EU safety list. But this is a non-binding mechanism, each country can still apply its own rules and it is not clear exactly when this mechanism will come into effect. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Friday announced that from the 24th, the country will allow fully vaccinated tourists from the UK and Japan to enter. Visitors from other countries will be welcome back to Spain from June 7. Restaurants and hotels in Greece are preparing to welcome international guests back (Photo: AP) Tourists have started showing up in Greece after authorities this month decided to accept vaccination and test certificates from the EU and 21 other countries. On the Greek island of Naxos, business owners have begun pulling furniture out of storage, cleaning stores and reopening once-stuck seaside pubs. “People here are very optimistic and in fact there have been a lot of bookings in the last two weeks,” said Naxos Mayor Dimitris Lianos, optimistic that visitors will return significantly even by the end of the year. Croatia has also reopened – one of the few places in Europe that Americans can visit this summer. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have announced direct flights from New York to Dubrovnik this summer. Asia The Covid-19 epidemic is breaking out again in many parts of Asia, causing some countries and territories to pause cautious reopening steps. Hong Kong (China) and Singapore have postponed the “travel bubble” without quarantine for the second time after a new outbreak. Both Singapore and Hong Kong (China) have extended the mandatory quarantine period for many unvaccinated travelers. China has set up Covid-19 control points at toll booths, airports and train stations in Liaoning province, where new cases arose this month – travelers must present test results latest negative for Covid-19. Thailand may have to postpone its plan to welcome international visitors to Phuket this July (Photo: TheBangkokPost) Thailand, which closed its borders to control the outbreak for most of last year, is slowly starting to allow some foreign visitors to enter in the fall under tight control. However, the strong outbreak from the end of March until now has shown no sign of abating, prompting the country to re-impose strong measures such as closing entertainment venues and banning outdoor dining. The Phuket provincial government announced that the plan to reopen to international tourists who have been fully vaccinated from July 1 may not be able to go as planned if the daily number of Covid-19 cases does not exist. down to single digits. Middle East and Africa At the height of the pandemic last year, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) closed its borders and closed its airports to tourists. The capital, Abu Dhabi, still has strict measures including mandatory quarantine even for fully vaccinated citizens returning from certain countries. But the UAE’s largest city, Dubai, has been open to tourists since July last year with a few more restrictive regulations. Dubai – home to the world’s busiest airport for international travel – is drawing visitors from Europe to its beaches, bars, hotel pools, restaurants, cinemas, parks. leisure and spa. However, Dubai still applies social distancing regulations and requires mask wearing. Egypt is trying to attract more foreign tourists Meanwhile, the largest Gulf state Saudi Arabia does not allow tourists to enter the country. Saudi nationals from this month have been allowed to travel abroad if they have been vaccinated against Covid-19 or have recovered from Covid-19. Egypt is trying to attract more foreign tourists even as it faces a new wave of disease outbreaks. The country does not impose new restrictions on beaches, cafes and restaurants in hotels catering to tourists. Egypt even lowered the price of the tourist visa fee, although it still requires a negative test result for Covid-19 before entering. Latin America and the Caribbean The Caribbean region is largely dependent on tourism. In the last year, visitors to the area have dropped by two-thirds to levels not seen since the 1980s. Bermuda has been one of the hardest hit, with an 84% drop in arrivals. Some islands, including Bonaire, Martinique and Montserrat, remain closed to most countries. Elsewhere, return travelers are limited with epidemic prevention regulations including electronic trace management. Several islands, including St. Vincent and the Grenadines, created “bubble resorts” to attract tourists. Cruise lines are planning to bring tourists from the US to Caribbean ports this summer. Mexico remains open to international visitors (Image: AP) Mexico does not apply no-fly regulations, does not require travelers to be tested or quarantined upon arrival in the country. Therefore, although the number of visitors decreased, it remained stable, especially in coastal destinations. But, this has increased the rate of Covid-19 infection, forcing authorities in some places to impose restrictions in public places. USA and Canada The US currently still bans most travelers from Europe, China, India, Brazil and elsewhere. Guests, including US citizens traveling on international flights, must have a negative Covid-19 test before boarding the flight. The US State Department continues to advise citizens not to make unnecessary trips abroad. The border between the US and Canada remains closed to non-essential travel until June 21. In the US, domestic aviation has returned to near 2019 levels, but the smokeless industry is slowly showing patience with restrictive regulations. “As we’re seeing vaccination rates increase and Covid-19 incidence decline, from an economic standpoint, reopening,” said Tori Emerson Barnes, executive vice president of the American Travel Association. International travel is extremely important.”

This is one of the deadliest accidents in Chinese sports history. The incident caused public outrage because of the poor management of the Baiyin city government. Rescuers had to walk up the mountainside to search for victims. Photo: Xinhua News Agency. Terrible moment The athletes departed on the morning of May 22 from the Yellow River Stone Forest Park, Baiyin City. This is an annual event organized by the authorities of Canh Thai district and Bach Ngan city to develop rural areas and promote healthy lifestyles. Nearly 10,000 people registered for this year’s event. Participants are divided into three categories: beginner, 21 km cross country and 100 km cross country. The bad weather occurred around 1 p.m., when the runners climbed 2,000 meters in the 20-31 km stage of the race, according to Xinhua News Agency. Participating athletes wear only shorts and t-shirts. Therefore, these people have little ability to protect the body from the low temperature of the surrounding environment. When witnessing some athletes having trouble, the organizers canceled the event and deployed rescue. At that time, some people had hypothermia. Some others passed out from being too cold. A total of 21 people were killed and 151 were rescued. In an interview with SCMP , one survivor said there was no forecast of severe weather. The cold also exacerbates the challenges of the mountainous terrain. The athletes departed on the morning of May 22. Photo: Weibo/Xinhua News Agency. This person said he still tries to run when the weather turns bad. On the way, he witnessed people fall one by one, even experienced athletes. Before the contest started, the organizers asked each person to contribute 1,600 yuan (US$248) to register. That’s when he decided to join. “Now, every time I recall that thought, I just want to slap myself,” he wrote in a social media post. He said that in one part of the competition, the contestants had to run uphill for a distance of 8 km. The road surface is covered with rocks and mud while the sky is cloudy, strong winds, heavy rain and limited visibility. “From this point on, there is only one way up, no one down. Motorcycles can’t get on that road, so there’s no food or water,” he wrote. “I was completely drenched and could barely stand. I tried to find a hiding spot and tried to warm myself up with a flimsy thermal blanket, but was immediately blown away by the wind. I saw other people’s blankets torn to pieces by the wind.” Another athlete said he couldn’t feel his fingers. “I put my fingers in my mouth to warm it up but I still can’t feel anything. Even my tongue feels frozen,” he said. “That’s when I decided to give up and run downhill because I realized it was hypothermia. It was wise and fortunate that I made that decision.” He also saw many other contestants pass out on the way down. However, he did not have the strength to help others. It is difficult to track other athletes because the GPS signal is very poor. In addition to hypothermia, some athletes also cut their hands and fall. Late regret According to the Xinhua News Agency , rescue efforts were hampered by high altitude and bad weather. Among the dead were Luong Tinh and Hoang Quan Quan. These are two of China’s top long-distance runners. Luong Tinh won China’s Ultra Gobi in 2018 and finished second in the Hong Kong 100 super-trail race in 2019. Meanwhile, Hoang Quan Quan is the Olympic marathon champion. Paralympic Paralympics 2019 in Dubai. Yellowstone Forest Park, where the tragedy happened. Photo: Handout. Zhang Xuchen, the chairman of Baiyin City, bowed his head to apologize to the victims’ families. “This is an unexpected incident due to the sudden change in the weather in the area. As an event organizer, we are extremely sorry and regretful. We apologize and offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and the injured athletes,” he said. The Gansu provincial government has set up a task force to monitor the investigation. In a comment, state broadcaster CCTV insisted extreme sports should be carefully organized to avoid such a rare and devastating tragedy. Marathons and ultra-long distance running have become popular in China in recent years, attracting participation from the country’s growing middle class. Races are held in remote areas with huge prize money to attract participants. The governments of regions in western China such as Yunnan, Gansu and Sichuan have set aside funds to organize running competitions to attract and develop tourism.

How did you start raising awareness about the endangered rhinoceros species? I have been involved in many activities to raise awareness about the urgency of the rhinoceros species. I was still playing cricket for England at the time and my tools and things had a lot of rhinos on them. After that, many people expressed interest in buying the items again because they looked cool, and that’s how I competed to raise awareness. Later, I used my son’s drawings of rhinoceros on the competition equipment as well as the main logo of SORAI. The drawing appeared on hats and t-shirts and received a very good response, so I thought about the next step of developing and building the organization. Kevin Pietersen and Ms. Petronel Nieuwoudt – founders of Care For Wild, the largest rhinoceros orphanage and sanctuary in the world Can you share more about the operating mechanism of the organization? We donate 20% of our profits to conservation and do our best to save endangered animals. That is the purpose of our activities and when buying our products, people also contribute to a great cause. We don’t want people to see us as a charity asking people to donate money. We have a donation page where people can contribute directly to causes you believe in. Or you can also become an ambassador, support activities related to our products, and also be the subject of discussion. It’s a way to create exchanges, thereby raising awareness across the board, with us in our efforts to stop the illegal wildlife trade. What do you think about rhinos that the public needs to be more aware of? Rhinos are in danger of extinction. In South Africa, in the last 10 years, we have lost two-thirds of the remaining rhinos here. The problem stems from black markets such as China or Vietnam, which have engaged in illegal wildlife trade activities. Africa would not be Africa without rhinos. They are one of five important wildlife species in this place. We stand firmly against the illegal wildlife trade and also rhino horn. Many texts have asserted that rhino horn has no medicinal value, and that greed and misinformation in society have used them to flaunt their status. These things need to be removed immediately! And how did the collaboration between SORAI and Hublot begin? In 2019, while the Cricket World Cup was in progress in England, Hublot and I started working together. Then we did bigger things together, and we really brought about change. The first Big Bang Unico SORAI watch was born at that time and immediately “sold out” very quickly. The feedback after that was also very positive and everything was perfect. And I believe this next watch will achieve the same success. The new Big Bang Unico SORAI watch will be released in 2021 Can you share with everyone about the similar values ​​of SORAI and Hublot? I think time is the greatest value we share with each other. Quite simply, Hublot offers very innovative timepieces. And together we are in a race against time to save the rhinoceros from extinction. This is a perfect collaboration! SORAI and Hublot’s first collaboration was the very successful Big Bang Unico SORAI watch. Can you share more about the achievements after that initial success? If it weren’t for that success, I probably wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you right now. The opportunity to approach and talk about the organization’s activities with the public in Vietnam is a wonderful thing. For me it is a very meaningful success, besides financial success. Big Bang Unico SORAI watches come with 2 sets of bands with matching colors màu What’s different about the second Big Bang Unico SORAI watch released in 2021 compared to the first one? The new Big Bang Unico SORAI is equipped with a UNICO manufacture movement and is inspired by the natural colors of the woods in summer: a harmonious blend of two greens, from the green ceramic case. tree to the camo green hue of the familiar rubber or Velcro strap. This special edition, with the SORAI logo engraved on the sapphire crystal back, is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide. Due to the impact of the pandemic, we worked together through video meetings, coming together to agree on every detail on the new watch. SORAI’s black rhino logo on the dial After working with Hublot for a while, what percentage of your initial expectations about this relationship have been met? What I expect is all that we have achieved so far. We have an organization that works for the sake of bringing about change, raising large sums of money from the profits of the first 100 watches sold for the activities of the organization. More importantly, thanks to this cooperation, I have been able to reach other countries and territories. This is like a marking exercise, every opportunity we have to raise awareness of the community, to be communicated to the public, can open certain doors. Thank you for taking the time to chat and share! Perform: Tuan Anh

The 6G network is expected to be 100 times faster than 5G. Photo: PhoneArena. While the US and Europe have launched 6G research projects, strengthening cooperation to ensure benefits, CNIPA said that China has “taken advantage of the technology from 5G networks to continue to be at the forefront”. According to CNIPA, the country of billions should cooperate with a number of Japanese and Korean companies such as NEC, Samsung, and Mitsubishi to “reduce dependence on American and European technology” in some important areas of the 6G network. . Although China leads the world in 6G patents, only one Chinese company makes the list of the top 10 6G enterprises in the world. According to the PhoneArena , the three names holding the most 6G patents include NEC, Daewoo Communications and Mitsubishi. In the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and terahertz of 6G, China accounts for 75% and 40% of patents globally, respectively. Regarding terahertz in 6G networks, the two largest patent holders are the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and China University of Metrology. Although it will take many years to perfect, 6G is expected to bring speeds of terabits, 100 times faster than 5G networks, wide coverage from underwater to space. Some applications of 6G such as immersive augmented reality environment, high-fidelity 3D image display. The speed of 6G brings benefits in many future fields, not only for users but also in the military sector, which is why industrialized countries are vying for the top spot in the research race. 6G. In November 2020, Google and Apple joined “The next G Alliance” (The next G Alliance) with the goal of making the US lead the world in the 6G race, reinforcing the long-term development of the company. 5G network. In February, Apple recruited a number of positions specifically related to 6G, the main work included “researching and designing next-generation wireless communication systems (6G) for wireless networks”, “participating in industry, academic forum on 6G”. In February 2019, former US President Donald Trump also mentioned 6G. “I want to have 5G, even 6G in the US as soon as possible. It’s stronger, faster and smarter than today’s standards. American companies have to work if they don’t want to be left behind,” Trump said. on Twitter. China launches first 6G satellite tinh This 6G satellite will be used to test systems for smart cities, environmental protection, disaster prevention and mitigation.

In addition to beautiful flowers, the air here is also very fresh and cool, so it has become a favorite place for many young people to hang out. Let’s review the moments when young people check-in with reed grass (Photo: Trung Hau)

Model of China’s first space station at the 2010 exhibition in Zhuhai city. Photo: Kin Cheung / Associated Press China has now achieved what the US and the Soviet Union did before: a successful landing on Mars. After orbiting the planet since February, the Tianwen 1 rover sent a vehicle to land on the surface of Mars. The probe will join three NASA spacecraft that are surveying Mars. China’s Mars mission may seem less appealing than NASA’s latest mission, because it’s essentially repeating the feats Americans achieved decades ago. But it represents another milestone in China’s ambitions to transform itself into a “space power,” as President Xi Jinping announced in April. Many potential milestones lie ahead. Conquer the Moon In January 2019, China became the first country to land a probe on the dark side of the Moon. This is China’s second successful moon landing, after one in 2013. At that time, China sent a rover on the lunar surface and it is still operating to this day, far exceeding the initial 3 month expectation. In late April, it roamed nearly half a mile from its starting point in the Von Kármán crater near the moon’s south pole, according to Chinese television. In December 2020, China sent another spacecraft to the Moon. It shoveled nearly 2kg of rock back to Earth. This is the first lunar specimen since those collected by the Soviet Union during the Luna 24 mission in 1976. Some samples are on display in Beijing. China names its lunar probes Chang’e with serial numbers. Three more will hit the road in 2027, with more flying probes and even 3D printing trials in space. These missions aim to lay the groundwork for a Moon base and astronaut visits in the 2030s. To date, only the US Apollo program has sent people to the Moon. In March, Russia’s space agency Roscosmos said it would work with China to build a lunar research station, though it did not give details of any joint plans. Enemy space station China’s launch of the main module for its latest orbiting space station in April attracted more international attention than expected for unwarranted reasons. After reaching orbit, the main booster fell ominously back to Earth: “uncontrolled re-entry”. Debris landed in the Indian Ocean in May, nearly losing the Maldives and sparking criticism over how China carried out its heaviest rocket launch, the Long March 5B. More similar cases will continue. This is the first of 11 missions needed to build China’s third and most ambitious space station by the end of 2022. Two more Long March 5B rockets carry additional modules and new ones. Variations with smaller parts. Next June will have four missions to be carried out, sending Chinese astronauts back into space after more than four years. Watch the launch of the rocket carrying the Mars probe Tianwen 1 in Wenchang, China. Photo: AP China’s first two space stations are short-lived prototypes, but the station is intended to be operational for a decade or so. The International Space Station, jointly developed by the US, Russia and other countries, is nearing the end of its expected life cycle in 2024. What happens after that remains unclear. NASA has proposed keeping the station operational for several more years; Russia has announced it intends to withdraw its troops by 2025. If the station is shut down, China could be the only country with a space station for a while. This Thien Cung station will be able to accommodate 3 astronauts for long-term missions and 6 astronauts for shorter periods. China has chosen a team of 18 astronauts, some of them civilians (only one is a woman). The first three are expected to spend three months in space, surpassing the 33-day record set by Chinese astronauts in 2016. Hao Chun, director of China’s manned space agency, told the press that astronauts from other countries would be allowed to visit, under the docking mechanism “in line with China’s standards”. “. Some foreign astronauts are prepared to learn Mandarin. Conquer Mars The Mars mission is trying to achieve feats that NASA has achieved for many years. The Tianwen 1 spacecraft has reached orbit around the planet and has now safely brought one to the surface. The Soviet Union was the first country to send a spacecraft to Mars in 1971, but seconds after touching down, the lander stopped communicating, possibly due to a sandstorm. It transmits an incomplete or undecipherable image. Since then, several other countries’ attempts to reach the surface have failed. Only the US has succeeded in landing on Mars. China tried to send an orbiter to Mars in 2011, but the Russian rocket carrying it failed to get out of orbit and both crashed back to Earth. China’s Tianwen Orbiter has surveyed Mars and its landing site, Utopia Planitia, a large basin in the northern hemisphere where NASA’s Viking 2 landed in 1976. The Zhurong rover is named after a position. god of fire, will conduct a number of experiments studying the topography, geology and atmosphere of the planet. China says it plans to send a second lander to Mars in 2028 and eventually return samples from the planet to Earth. That’s a goal NASA and the European Space Agency are hoping to achieve by 2031. China’s mission could happen this decade, setting up a potential race. In addition to the Mars mission, China is planning a 10-year mission to collect samples from an asteroid that passed by the comet. Simultaneously in orbit for Venus and Jupiter. In 2024, they plan to launch a telescope with an orbit similar to Hubble, which was first launched in 1990. Hoang Thanh ( According to the New York Times)

Photo: Truong Dieu Anh In addition to the traditional lotus varieties, from 2019, the Hanoi people will also have a unique hobby of playing lotus flowers. At that time, the lotus with thousand wings created a “fever”, people racing to buy seeds to plant. A lotus seed of a thousand petals has a price ranging from 400,000 to 500,000 VND, and a lotus pot of this type costs up to a million VND. The thousand-petaled lotus is like a foreign lotus. Because of the number of petals so many, it is called a lotus with a thousand petals or a lotus with a thousand layers. The red-pink lotus usually has between 800 and 1,000 petals (our lotus is less than 20 petals). Outside, the petals are large, the more inward the petals are smaller and dense. The thousand-petaled lotus is very wrong, the flower is nearly as big as the hand. Compared with other lotus species, the thousand-petaled lotus is very long gone. At this time, instead of selling plants or bulbs, on the “internet market” many people sell flower cut flowers like other traditional lotus. However, the price of a thousand-petaled lotus is quite expensive, up to 150,000-200,000 VND / 5 flowers, 5-7 times more expensive than ordinary lotus depending on type. Not to mention, people who love this type of lotus still have to “lay bricks” for 4-7 days to have them. Even in bad weather, you have to order about 2 weeks in advance. Ms. Truong Dieu Anh – a focal point selling fresh flowers in Ha Dong (Hanoi) – said on Vietnamnet, this year is the second year she sells thousand petals, but on the market this kind of lotus supply is quite rare. “Actually selling fresh flowers is just a part-time job. However, I always choose to sell exotic and beautiful flowers. The same goes for thousands of petals. To find a supply, it takes me a long time to discover the house.” This lotus pond will cut flowers for sale, “she said. She also said that the dresser reported that the flower output this year would be more. However, it will take two more weeks to start flowering. At that time, the amount of cut cotton will be available for retail and wholesale. At this time, the volume of goods is still quite modest, there are only 2 flights a week, customers who want to buy must book 3-5 days in advance.

TikTok was the first platform that started the short clip trend and was quickly copied by other social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube. As the market for short video features became more competitive, platforms launched funds to reward creators as a way to engage users. YouTube says the new fund will pay thousands of creators each month whose YouTube Shorts video gets a lot of engagement from viewers. YouTube also adds that the fund will launch in the coming months and pay creators this year and 2022. But YouTube isn’t the only big guy with a bonus feature for content creators. In July last year, TikTok launched a fund for creators worth more than $ 1 billion over three years to entice users. Meanwhile, Snapchat announced a $ 1 million daily reward for users with top engaging content on Spotlight. According to Reuters

The lotus is an aquatic flower, so if you want the flower to stay fresh for a long time, you need to care for it. Flowering do well will give lotuses beautiful as in nature. Ms. Tran Thi Dinh (Hanoi) is a person who has a passion for flower arrangement, especially lotus. Moreover, she is extremely skillful with her hands, so people are not too surprised to learn that he is the owner of the lotus artwork. According to Ms. Dinh, in order to have the beautiful lotus vase like a dream, especially to locate the flower branches and lotus leaves upright, straight and at the desired position, the sewing of flowers is the most important thing. 1. How to keep lotus fresh for a long time Lotus mid-season is soaked and nourished enough to stretch the wings. If other flowers are usually diagonal cut to make it easy to absorb water, but for lotus you should cut with a very sharp knife to prevent the flowers from dehydrating. After cutting, you immediately put the flowers in the highest water tank possible or soak in the bath. When taking out flowers, quickly hold the flower head down to the ground to keep the flower water. Especially if the flower stalks lack of water when plugging in, use a syringe to pump. This is a trick to keep the flowers fresh for a long time, and at the same time make the stems sturdy and easy to plug. 2. How to vote She shared: “To have beautiful lotus pots, choosing the vase is also a very important and meticulous step. Lotus vase will be the most beautiful, most familiar and simple way to enter the human heart, especially when it is plugged in simple ceramic or terracotta pots with no coloration ”. You can choose between a yellow bottle with a stigma color or a green bottle for the color of branches The lotus pitcher should be 30cm taller and the mouth is slightly cambered like a stylized lotus shape. 3. How to plug The 3 flowers are not uniform and not on the same plane. Before plugging you should divide the lotus into 3 categories: long, medium, short. Choose a medium and curved branch first, creating the shape of the vase. 3 flowers next to each other are not uniform and not in the same plane to create depth for the vase. Plug the radio and young leaves in the end. Some beautiful lotus arrangements: This lotus has blossomed in the morning and at night. Lotus mandarin. Lotus Buddha, the child does not shed wings and stays fresh for 3 days. When you buy a lotus, people remember to choose the flowers with the opening of the flute, the new lotus will bloom, cutting the young lotus soaked in maintenance cannot bloom. The lotus plug should choose a simple type. Or the pistil color tank. Green vase matches the color of branches.

Super smart city model on 6G infrastructure. Although 5G technology has not even been widely available to users, a fierce race for the 6th generation (also known as 6G) mobile network between the leading countries in technology has begun. head. “FORGET 5G”, US WANT TO GO 6G In theory, the 6G network could be 100 times faster than the maximum speed of 5G and is expected to provide many technological applications that have long been seen as science fiction. Such as real-time holograms, flying taxis, and the ability of the human body and brain to be connected to the Internet. Until now, the race to 6G is increasing, especially between the US and China. There are even more concerns: 6G is so important that it has become an arms race to some extent. In this tech race, the United States will likely hamper Huawei’s 6G ambitions just as it has proven it is capable of hurting Chinese tech firms in the past. 6G has clearly been on the minds of policymakers in both Washington and Beijing. Former President Donald Trump shared on Twitter in early 2019 that he wanted 6G “as soon as possible”. The development of 6G could give America the opportunity to regain its lost position in wireless technology. Vikrant Gandhi, Senior Director of Information and Communication Technology Frost & Sullivan said: “ The United States missed the opportunity to lead the 5G wireless technology, and this time they are determined to focus on 6G development. Competition for the 6G lead will be much fiercer than 5G. It is easy to see that Washington started with the “Telecommunications Industry Solutions Alliance” called ATIS and launched the Next G Alliance in October 2020 to “elevate North American leadership in technology. 6G “. The members of the alliance including tech giants like Apple Inc., AT&T Inc., Qualcomm Inc., Google and Samsung Electronics Co., of course, never had Huawei. According to Bloomberg, China also took the lead by launching a satellite in November last year to test the transmission of 6G. In addition, telecommunications equipment maker ZTE Corp has partnered with China Unicom Hong Kong to develop a new generation of technology; Huawei also has a 6G research center in Canada. However, in this tech race, the US may hamper Huawei’s 6G ambitions as the country has shown it is capable of detrimental to Chinese technology firms in the past. KOREA AND CHINA HAVE ADVANTAGES IN A 6G RACING Samsung Electronics and Huawei Technologies are two leading names in the deployment of BTS stations, which are important infrastructure of telecommunications networks. According to the Nikkei, Korea and China will have an advantage in the 6G technology race. Japan and the US will have difficulty if they want to catch up with these two countries on 6G. Currently, Samsung is leading in 5G copyright, holding 8.9% of the number of copyrights. Huawei came in second with 8.3%, Qualcomm with 7.4%, while Japan’s NTT Docomo came in sixth with 5.5%. South Korea is hoping to become the first to offer commercial 6G services, with corporations Samsung and LG setting up research centers and the government considering investing 976 billion won (18,687 billion dong) in development projects. Beijing also announced its 6G network research and development program last November, and Huawei launched a dedicated research team. According to Tetsuya Kawanishi, telecommunications expert from Waseda University (Japan), BTS stations are expected to change both quality and quantity to be compatible with the 6G network. Japan currently has about 600,000 BTS, but to properly meet the 6G infrastructure, 1 billion stations are needed, while the world will need 100 billion stations. Theoretically, a 6G network can reach more than terabits per second, 10 times faster than 5G. But in terms of coverage, the transmission distance of 6G base stations will be only 200 m or less, and using shorter wavelengths, smaller antennas. Therefore, lighting equipment, signs or passenger cars can also add BTS to increase the coverage. According to HIS Market market research company, three companies including Huawei, Ericsson (Sweden) and Nokia (Finland) account for 80% of the BTS market share and many companies are racing to develop smart stations. to lead the race in this segment. SUPER EXPLOSION 6G NETWORK CONNECTION Four main orientations on connection are being studied by countries around the world, including: smart connection, deep connection, heterogeneous connection and connecting everywhere. Most likely, the technologies of the future are considered to be included in the 6G network such as optical wireless communications, quantum communications, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-rise satellites … Moreover, artificial intelligence and big data analytics are also included in the 6G network support to ensure network quality goals. Most likely, the technologies of the future are considered to be included in the 6G network such as optical wireless communications, quantum communications, unmanned aerial vehicles, low-rise satellites … Since then, many super smart applications based on 6G platforms such as: smart home will be widely deployed when smart devices are able to connect and control remotely; Intelligent traffic with control systems, autonomous vehicles, flying taxis; Smart city is built on environmental monitoring systems, optimal energy control systems to improve people’s living standards. Augmented reality technology also requires a 6G network. In addition to the objects being 3D simulated and controlled by artificial intelligence, the user experience will be supported by all 5 senses of hearing, seeing, smell, taste, and touch through sensors. With high bandwidth speed, low latency, 6G network will ensure the quality of user experience. The wireless communication features of the 6G network allow the technology of tomorrow to be the brain and computer interface system (BCI) in everyday life. BCI takes signals from the brain and sends them to digital devices, analyzing and interpreting the signals into device control commands. Moreover, integrated satellite network will allow 6G network to have global mobile coverage; convert and upgrade conventional connections into smart ones; integrated power and information transmission, not only allowing information transmission but also wireless power transmission to charge devices.

Indeed, BLACKPINK has a very strong fashion sense, deserving to be invited to be the representative face of famous fashion houses, but not all photos are outstanding. Rosé herself is also being criticized for only acting “one color” when photographing magazines Recently, both Rosé and Lisa have been criticized as boring, one-color expressions in fashion photos. Although shooting for different magazines, both members often keep their faces cold, their eyes sharp and their lips parted to reveal their front teeth. Or Jenny’s tongue-out expression is very unique and impressive, but not all netizens like it. Lisa is also criticized for lack of transformation in the new set of photos Therefore, instead of complimenting BLACKPINK and criticizing TWICE, the fan community on both sides should be glad that K-Pop girl groups are getting more attention from famous fashion houses.

Artwork: Teslarati.com According to NASA’s announcement, the contract to bring astronauts to the Moon as early as 2024 was signed with a value of nearly $ 3 billion. The contract will use the prototype spacecraft Starship, designed for a large crew with the necessary equipment for space exploration missions. Starship ships can land vertically on the surface of the Earth as well as other planets in the universe. So far, test flights have not been successful, but the group is working to build new test vehicles. NASA expert Lisa Watdon-Morgan said: “We have selected a partner and are preparing to implement the next phase. “We have to make sure to run the tests because we won’t send people to the Moon until the trials are successful.” Unlike the Apollo lunar landings between 1969 and 1972, NASA is currently preparing for a permanent presence on the Moon, a stepping stone to an even more ambitious plan, that is. is to send astronauts to Mars. This decision by NASA makes the race to conquer the Moon and other planets in the universe between the US and other powers becomes hotter. In the latest move, China’s aerospace science community on April 24 affirmed that this country is a cosmic power, capable of exploring space, exploring deeper areas in the universe by unmanned vehicles. . Scientists in this country also did not hide their ambition to bring people to the Moon soon. Chinese Academy of Sciences scholar Ye Peijian, Ye Peijian, said: “We are planning to conduct asteroid probes. We will accomplish this mission in 10 years. We also hope that China will soon be able to send people to the Moon in the near future. In early December 2020, China announced that the Hang Nga 5 probe had landed successfully and placed a flag on the surface of the Moon. This is the third successful Chinese landing in the past 7 years. Once a weak country in the space race, China has continuously developed aerospace programs in recent years with the ambition to conquer new territories. In early March 2021, the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos said that the country and China signed a memorandum of understanding to build a lunar space station together. The space station will be designed as a complex of experimental research facilities that operate on the surface or orbit of the Moon. Russian officials also announced that they will try new boosters to continue their lunar exploration program this year. Besides the US, Russia, China, some other countries such as Japan, European Union, India, Korea, Israel, South Africa … also announced ambitious Moon exploration programs in the coming time. Besides the Moon, conquering Mars is also becoming a target of fierce competition among countries. Just in February, the American Perseverance self-propelled vehicle, China’s Tianan-1 spacecraft, Hope of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) visited Mars one after another. According to space experts, the polls have different objectives but all show the interest of space powers to the Red planet. Not only is it intended for military and civilian purposes, the future space race is also related to economic benefits estimated to be worth trillions of dollars./.

In British royalty, not everyone can wear a hat and can wear it anywhere. Here are facts for wearing a hat without any rating. Horse racing festival The hats are a unique identifier of Western horse racing festivals. The stylized hat has long been one of the defining highlights of Western horse racing festivals.

Beekeeping for honey is developing well in Minh Hoa “March – the season when bees go to get honey”, for a long time, beekeepers in Minh Hoa have grasped that rule, so when March comes back, in the forests, in each garden, hundreds of species of flowers bloom. They are busy again in the beekeeping season to collect sweet honey. Mr. Dinh Long, Chairman of Minh Hoa District Beekeepers Association, said that the bees are kept, but actually the honey obtained is very natural. Because Minh Hoa is a mountainous district, most of the area is forest, so the climate is very fresh, the natural forest flower is abundant, so the honey raised here is very delicious, the quality is not inferior to honey. Forest. With more than 30 years of experience in beekeeping, Mr. Dinh Xuan Guest (Minh Xuan village, Xuan Hoa commune) said that April and May (March and April of the lunar calendar) is the time when bees give honey the most. “The honey extracted from the forest is completely natural, however, because the products from the forest are exploited by local people, in many cases, people exploiting the hives are not at a certain degree of maturity or old maturity. The portion in honey is usually very high (over 30%), honey usually has a sour taste and does not last long. The family’s secret prayers are heavy, promising a bountiful season. That is not to mention, buyers often encounter fake honey, honey mixed with the label of wild honey from fraudsters. Meanwhile, bees raised in Minh Hoa are selected from “domestic bees”, using abundant natural forest flowers, farmers know the maturity of honey to harvest, so the quality of honey is always guaranteed; In particular, the rate of water content is always below 20%, preserved for a long time and is not damaged ”, Mr. Long shared. However, according to Mr. Long, in order to harvest quality-assured honey, beekeepers must also research to understand and take care of their bees. Bees have very high herd characteristics and are sensitive to external influences such as weather, light and temperature. If farmers want to be successful, they must “understand” the bees; take appropriate measures to combat cold and heat; Regularly clean the bin to ensure it is dry and clean. In this way, the bees are healthy and have high honey yields. The bees are diligent, leaving the hive to find honey. Mr. Dinh Xuan Guest (Minh Xuan village, Xuan Hoa commune), who has more than 30 years working with beekeeping, said: “Autumn honey usually lasts from March to August every year, but April and May (March and April of lunar calendar) is still the time when bees give the highest quality honey. My family has 150 colonies of bees, averaging about 2 tons of honey per year, earning more than 200 million VND ”. This year, the weather is favorable, the flowers bloom a lot, so bees secrete honey evenly. At this time, beekeepers in Minh Hoa started to harvest the first batch of honey in the year. Currently honey is sold at the price of 120 thousand VND / 700ml bottle. This is a very reasonable price for both the seller and the buyer, so the honey products collected in Minh Hoa are sold out. Honey to raise Minh Hoa is sold at the Full Moon Festival in March Minh Hoa. Beekeeping is not difficult, the profit is high, so over the years, beekeeping has continuously developed in Minh Hoa. According to statistics of the People’s Committee of Minh Hoa district, at present, the whole district has developed over 3,000 colonies. The localities, such as Xuan Hoa, Trung Hoa, Minh Hoa, Hoa Hop, Hoa Phuc … have a thriving beekeeping movement, with an average income of 50-120 million VND / year per model. Mr. Dinh Minh Huong, Vice Chairman of Minh Hoa District People’s Committee, said the district is oriented to develop beekeeping into a high quality product, associated with the development of tourism of the district. Over the past years, from capital sources to support production of 135 programs, the NTP for sustainable poverty reduction, the district has supported people in many projects to raise domestic bees for honey. In particular, in the two border communes of Dan Hoa and Trong Hoa, with the support of the district, for the first time, Khua and You here have started to approach beekeeping and obtained encouraging results. an important part of rapid and sustainable poverty reduction. The weather is very favorable, the scent of wild flowers, house flowers are in “ripeness”, the bees are diligently searching for sweet honey. Beekeepers too, they are also diligently taking care of the bees, expecting a rich season of honey …

Many countries around the world are silently deploying plans to exploit Helium-3 from the Moon. Photo: Johnson Search Group Why does America want to return to the Moon after almost half a century? Why does China’s Hang Nga ship collect land on the Moon? Why Russia shook hands with China to build a Moon research station? And why has the Moon become the indispensable spot of great powers? Some say that it is to satisfy human curiosity, there are also opinions that it is to demonstrate the power of space science and technology of a nation. All is speculation, but the most important reason can be said that the Moon itself is an invaluable natural mine. As humanity is facing an energy crisis, governments around the world are looking for alternative sources of energy. High-tech companies have been exploiting non-fossil energy sources from the wind, the sun and the waves full of rivers. But that is not enough. Many countries have begun to look for new sources of energy outside the Earth. During resource exploration on the Moon, Chinese experts have discovered that there are more than 100 types of mineral resources on the Moon, not only have dozens of essential energy sources for the Earth, but also one The perfect energy source – Helium-3. Rare gas resources on the Moon. Photo: Sohu Scientists have found radioactive substances such as helium in soil on the Moon. After further analysis and determination, they found a large amount of Helium-3. Helium-3 is a valuable fuel source, because it can generate extremely high heat through fusion fusion without emitting almost no harmful radioactive neutrons. As such, fourth generation nuclear weapons using pure Helium-3 will generate little or no radioactive dust. Why does the Moon have so much Helium-3? During internal nuclear fusion, the Sun will generate a large amount of Helium-3, and Helium-3 will fall on surrounding planets after being blown by the solar wind. Because the Earth’s surface is covered by a thick atmosphere, the solar wind cannot reach the Earth’s surface, so the natural reserve of Helium-3 on Earth is very low. The Moon has almost no atmosphere, so the solar wind can directly reach the surface of the Moon, and a large amount of Helium-3 will be deposited on the surface of the Moon. The amount of Helium-3 on Earth is very small and Chinese scientists estimate that the reserve on Earth is only about 500 kg, difficult to meet the needs of mankind. The soil on the lunar surface contains at least 1 million tons of Helium-3, 2 million times more than the Earth. Experts calculated that 100 tons of Helium-3 could meet the world’s electricity generation needs in one year, and 1 million tons would be enough for 10,000 years! If Helium-3 in lunar soil could be developed and used, the construction of a nuclear power plant on the Moon could be done on the spot. But it’s not easy to separate Helium-3 from the Moon. First, it is necessary to heat the lunar soil to more than 700 degrees C to separate Helium-3. However, there is no oxygen on the Moon and is very difficult to burn. Moreover, to extract Helium-3, it must be based on the Moon, so far no country can do it. Since Helium-3 has significant energy and reserves advantages, the future Moon is more likely to become the “Persian Gulf” energy that major powers compete in the new century. In December 2020, the Chinese ship Hang Nga 5 returned safely after a mission to explore the Moon, bringing about 2kg of rock and soil from this planet to Earth. Under former President Trump, the 2020 NASA budget allocation plan shows that Washington wants to send people to the moon again before 2028. Former US Vice President Mike Pence also declared the United States to be the first power. first put a man on the moon in the 21st century. From unmanned exploration to manned landing on the Moon, and setting up lunar bases, China and the Western nations have consumed countless manpower and materials to not only satisfy scientific achievement. Behind that is endless resource ambition.

Netizens are feverish with the price of beautiful big orchids being sold for from 50,000 VND to 100,000 VND a bunch of 10 branches. According to the flower world, the price of Tran Mong orchid branches is as cheap as this has never been, so everyone is racing to buy and plug. The long, green and healthy orchids are very durable, and flower pots can be played for a month. Therefore, it is not expensive to spend 100,000 VND to 300,000 VND to play a vase of flowers for the whole month. Especially rarely play precious flowers, “flower regal”. The lovers of Cymbidium also share the story of the origin of the name of Tran Dream Cymbidium. “Legend has it that King Tran dreamed of seeing a strange orchid, very beautiful and very fragrant one night. When he woke up, the king was dumbfounded and dumb. advancing the king a pot of orchids like in a dream. That is since then, the precious orchid has been named Tran Mong orchid, ie the dream of King Tran. The Sapa cymbidium pots with hundreds of branches in previous years are always a commodity hunted by the flower world every New Year to Spring. The enchanting beauty of the human heart with long stretching graceful orchids, luxuriant bunches of leaves, brings a feeling of prosperity, warmth and regal. However, perhaps everyone is disillusioned to know that the real flower they are arranging is not the legendary Tran spread. Flower arranger Do Vy Anh shared: “This is not a dream Tran or a dream of King Tran anywhere. A dream ceiling is a flower that is a cocoon to the player, each pot is about 15/30 stems, but the price per stem ranges from 1-2 million depending on time. It is like LAN. fragrant, sword-shaped leaves, high vertical shower porch. The flowers are brown, tiny – with a gentle scent. And these branches of flowers are Hong Hoang Sapa, which traders call Sapa Tran Dreaming to make a profit. This flower is many times bigger than Tran Dream. The flower branches are bent but not as horizontal as other fragrant LANs “. Close-up photo of Tran dream orchid branches in the legend Three sepals of Tran dream orchid spread wide, two petals slightly upside down, covering the top of the pistil with often curved lips, color spots. Flower branches grow straight from the bottom up, not drooping like Sapa Hong Hoang Cymbidium. The Tran dream orchid is quite durable (from 10 to 30 days to die), the flower cluster looks like the starlight and especially the fragrance is extremely seductive. Tran Mong Cymbidium has a very special scent, anyone who has smelled it cannot forget the deep sweet, gentle fragrance that will remember life. The connoisseurs of playing Lan are attracted to Tran Mong orchid because of the taste of this flower. Many people are surprised by this fact. Because they only know the sellers say these flowers are Tran Mong orchids grown in Sapa, at the end of the season, the gardeners cut branches to nourish the trees, so they sell them at such a low price. On normal days, you can definitely not buy this orchid at that price. Moreover, whether it is Tran Mong orchid or Hong Hoang terraces, these flowers are still very fresh, very durable, commensurate with the money. “On a fine day like today, I suddenly learned that I cannot have a dream like King Tran but at least still have a beautiful vase. That is enough”; “Oh so I have to say for the florists to return the correct name to her, there is also a sharp color that has no fragrance. Do not let the flower lover disillusioned with the idea of ​​playing the regal flower”.

Sashaying (the term for how to walk with charismatic charisma) down the runway wearing fur costumes, wearing tall, large wigs, bold and impressive makeup, the performers showed many poses that made the audience fake it is interesting. Dance is popular among the Chinese LGBTQ + community. Dance origins The dance form in the dance ball flourished in New York in the 1980s. Before that, the genre had been developed for more than 20 years in Harlem, New York. The term “Balls” refers to an “underground culture”, where disadvantaged people in life choose to “go underground” to show their beauty and dance skills. Balls from a regular dance form gradually become a safe haven for the LGBTQ + community, especially communities that are often looked down upon as colored, Latin, to interact and freely express themselves. The performers are grouped into families. In which, the best or the most responsible person claims to be the mother. Their children may be older than themselves, but depend on each other with strong solidarity. In other words, the drag family, the dance festival is the choice of individuals who have been abandoned by their family members just because they belong to the LGBTQ + community. The Drag Queen is increasingly popular thanks to reality TV and movies. In 1990, pop queen Madonna brought underground culture to mass audiences with her hit song Vogue. Gay and transgender dances are gradually being loved, leading to a series of dance classes in the US and Europe. Today, the culture of drag queen and underground dance is more prevalent and popular thanks to reality TV shows RuPaul’s Drag Race (where the contestants pretend to be girls and compete to compete) and Pose – series on Netflix about underground dance, a hidden corner of the life of the LGBTQ + community in the 1980s. Recently, the Asian community has gradually adopted Western culture, dragging it into a culture imported into Asia, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam. China promotes the drag queen culture Today, hundreds of young people from the Chinese LGBT community, many of whom are far away, flock to Beijing to attend the ball. With categories including Butch Queen Realness, Drag Queen Lip Sync (Who lip-synced best) and Vogued Open To All, the artists will expose the The best thing for the jury. “This is a playground for the underprivileged,” said Li Yifan, nicknamed Bazi, 27, a party organizer in China. SCMP. Currently, he is considered to be the mainstay of China’s quietly growing dance genre. The drag queen culture is prevalent in China. In 2001, homosexuality in China was considered a mental illness. Most of the people in the LGBTQ + community live in fear, including criticism, legal application to homosexuals … Now everything is different. According to Bazi, those who attended a dance felt a very powerful aura flowing through them. This is an opportunity for them to “live the truth”, express their gender and sexual orientation in a unique way. Bazi said that this is “an auxiliary culture in China’s long cultural system”. However, it gradually became a mainstream trend, developed especially in many parts of China, after flourishing in Shanghai. According to Bazi, what he did not expect was the balls and vogue in bloom again, loved by Chinese women. Explaining this, he thinks that women in the land of billions are no different from the LGBTQ + community. They are persecuted by the patriarchy, unable to resist and turn to the ballroom to shake off their feelings of oppression. “I drink water, I have to go to the toilet with a catwalk” Hua Hua, 23, a drag queen performer, said: “Voging, the dance is very young in China but they are gradually dominating, developed by enthusiastic and passionate people.” In 2016, Hua Hua started to approach the prom world. Recalling the first day, the man wearing a feathered wig and evening gown came to join and become loved. Especially, when coming to the ball, they are chosen to transform into many different images. Today, you can be the elegant star of classic Hollywood, tomorrow, the complete participant becomes the supermodel of modern high fashion. And if you want to become a royal, no one has the right to ban you, even be supported, welcomed. “You can freely express gender, sexiness. You step onto the stage with the attitude ‘I’m pretty, elegant, can everyone be like me?’ ”, Hua Hua said. SCMP, at the same time posing and performing typical dance moves. Many artists find comfort after approaching the drag queen and dance culture. For Hua Hua, the dance and the dance made them feel free from the bondage of Chinese society. People from the LGBTQ + community also feel “liberated and truly happy for the first time”, after experiencing an unhappy childhood, being marginalized by the society because of gender identity and sexual orientation. is considered “different people”. “It has become a part of my life. Every day, whether I go to the toilet or even get a drink, I don’t go normally but imagine myself living in a ball, catwalk in a flexible style, ”Hua Hua said proudly. However, under the development of the media and social networks, many people fear that prom culture will be commercialized, easily misinterpreted and negative reviews. The dance has a rather tragic history. This is a form of dance created from the suffering of the generation of racism, depression, people in the LGBTQ + community abandoned by their families and society. “Many people have fallen because of stigma and beatings and are victims of HIV / AIDS. Once you want to learn vogue, you have to contact, learn the culture and history behind “, Hua Hua added.

The most famous resort island in the Golden Temple has its own international airport. So tourists can freely roam the island without risking spreading the virus to other parts of Thailand, according to Reuters . “If we can build immunity to 70-80% of the island’s population, we can accept vaccinated foreign tourists without quarantine,” said Piyapong Choowong, deputy governor. Phuket, says. In addition to health workers, government cabinet members and the elderly, Thailand also prioritizes Phuket’s people to get vaccinated over other localities, emphasizing the central role tourism plays in the country’s economy. Phuket aims to complete the Covid-19 vaccination for the majority of its population by July 1. Before the pandemic, foreign visitors contributed 11-12% of Thailand’s GDP. However, the country’s tourism industry has lost 1.45 million jobs since the outbreak. In 2020, only 6.7 million foreign tourists come to Thailand, spending about 11 billion USD, down from 40 million visitors and 61 billion USD in 2019. In the third quarter of this year, the government of the Golden Temple expects at least 100,000 tourists to return to Phuket. As the global vaccination program progresses, the number is expected to be 6.5 million visitors in the fourth quarter and spend $ 11 billion. “It is a challenge but if it succeeds, it will contribute to the country’s GDP to some extent. We do not expect visitors to come massively like a dam break but hope there will be many generous visitors,” said Yuthasak Supasorn , Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, said. He said tourists from Europe, the United Arab Emirates and the US will return to Thailand first. Thailand’s most famous resort island hopes to soon return the tourism industry to normal thanks to the early vaccination program. During the outbreak, strict 14-day quarantine requirements for foreign tourists helped Thailand limit the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections to about 29,100 cases and 95 deaths. However, it is this plan that also makes many tourists afraid to come here to travel. Long-term tourist attraction programs that test negative for SARS-CoV-2 have largely failed, even with innovative measures such as “golf isolation”. Songklod Wongchai, an analyst at Finansia Syrus, believes Thailand can quickly revive its tourism industry. This expert gave an example of the Maldives, the island nation whose hotel booking rate rebounded to 70-80% despite cases of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. “Increased demand could come back faster than expected. I think the ‘land of smiles’ will soon start to smile again, ”Wongchai said.

Priz AS-28 was successfully rescued New chapter in rescue history In the military history of the United States, the rescue of the Sargo-class USS Squalus submarine of the US Navy has become a major event and also a lesson in operational deployment of submarines. The incident took place on the morning of May 23, 1939, the Sargo-class submarine USS Squalus with 59 crew members began their usual test dives off Portsmouth, New Hampshine, without knowing they were about to experience a disaster. USS Squalus was the new and best submarine of the US Navy at the time. The ship was launched in September 1937 and has undergone 18 successful trials. No one thought it would fail on the 19th test, because all the systems on board were still working fine. However, due to a technical error, the technician wrongly announced the coordinates of the submerged vessel up to 8km down. Squalus dives while the main air intake valve remains open, causing tons of seawater to enter the engine bay at the rear of the ship. The sailors on board were shocked to hear the news and rushed to find a way for the ship to float. They built flooded compartments and tried to close the air intake valves but failed, before putting compressed air into the ballast tanks to allow the ship to float. The Squalus is stable with the bow pointing upwards. However, when the sailor tried to prevent seawater from entering through the vent pipe, there was a tremendous increase in pressure. The sea water suddenly flooded the front compartments and the ship began to sink to the ocean floor due to the large amount of seawater. The incident caused 26 sailors at the back of the ship to be immediately killed by water, 33 men in front of the ship survived. The Squalus sank to the bottom with the bow pointing upward at an angle of about 11 degrees, lost power completely, was unable to communicate and was in waters with temperatures just above freezing. The Sculpin was then dispatched to the Squalus’ coordinates on the last contact, but did not detect any signs of disaster such as debris or oil spills. No one aboard the Sculpin knew that they were 8km away from where the submarine was sunk. Meanwhile, the surviving sailors aboard the Squalus try to send out a call for help. Captain Naquin quickly ordered the release of a floating buoy attached to the cable and left a phone inside with the words “submarine sinks here, there is a telephone inside”. The crew constantly fired smoke bullets out, as well as pumped oil through the toilet so that the rescue team could detect smoke and oil spills in the sea. A sailor aboard Sculpin detected a streak of smoke rising into the sky and reported to the captain. The Sclupine arrives, finds the beacon and cell phone and communicates with the Squalus ship. That night, the US Navy deployed several ships anchored around the search area and turned on the headlights on the sea surface, while the crew on the Sclupine submarine tried to get close to the Squalus. The Squalus submarine salvage was rejected because it was too dangerous and risky. The rescuers had only two options: to transfer diving equipment to sailors to float to the surface, or to use a rescue cocoon from above, but this equipment had not been verified. The first option was canceled because when the sailors exited the submarine, it was very susceptible to cold and high pressure under the sea. The next day, the divers used the rescue cocoon. They performed four rescues with the last man on the surface at midnight May 25. This rescue campaign opened up a new chapter in the history of underwater rescue. Difficult to save because of “invisibility” Military submarines are originally designed to travel undetected under the ocean. Except when there is a need to contact headquarters, the ship will not transmit any signal. Meanwhile, the submarine detector is only really effective when finding a ship that is “in the middle of the sea or floating on the surface”. In fact, the submarine’s submarine stealth is a double-edged sword. With each passing hour, the hopes of saving the ship became less and less. Sailors will have to reduce their activity and move to reduce their oxygen consumption while they wait to be rescued. Although they have been trained in emergency self-rescue, their chances of survival depend on the depth of the ship. On August 5, 2005, the Russian submarine Priz AS-28 and its crew of seven were trapped at a depth of 190 meters below sea level after the propeller was caught on an undersea cable. The sailors were trapped in darkness on the cold ship and the oxygen supply dropped. This accident has attracted much attention because it happened just five years after the sinking of the nuclear submarine Kursk (in 2000), killing all 118 sailors. The Russian government immediately requested US and UK assistance; at the same time to plan to rescue the ship. The first was the scheme to detonate the anchor system of the Russian surveillance antenna system installed under the sea (weighing 60 tons), but was rejected because it was not feasible. By the end of August 6, the command decided to hook the cable to the ship, tow the ship up close to the water surface so that the crew could rescue the sailors. But this plan also failed. On the night of August 6, the race against time reached its peak because the oxygen in the train was only able to endure until August 7. The British Super Scorpio 45 unmanned submersible has entered the game. According to commander Jonty Powis, an expert on British submarine rescue and rescue, the campaign went smoothly. The ship has successfully severed the cables that are clutching the Priz submarine. Commander Powis praised the Russian government’s openness to allow rescue parties to intervene in the area that was once one of the most secretive parts of the Soviet Union before. After just 3 days of being stranded under the sea, the ship finally emerged. All 7 crew members are healthy. Although suffering from the cold and the oxygen in the ship was gradually running out, when rescued, sailors were able to open the submarine’s cover and move to the lifeboat without assistance. According to the examination results at the hospital, the health of all 7 people was still normal and did not need any special treatment. This shows that the crew responded very professionally to the extremely strict situation in the ship stranded at a depth of 190 meters under the sea. They wore insulation to keep their bodies warm, maximized energy savings by only intermittent contact with the mainland and tried to stay calm so as not to lose the meager oxygen on board.

The European Super League scandal left the Glazers under pressure to sell Manchester United. British media reported that the Glazers wanted to sell Manchester United for £ 4 billion. But how did the American tycoon family buy Manchester United in 2005? The above story is related to the ownership dispute of the famous racing horse Rock Of Gibraltar between MU legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson and a woman named Susan Magnier, wife of former MU shareholder, John Magnier. Sir Alex Ferguson is a celebrity who is passionate about racing horses. Rock Of Gibraltar is a true “grass star”. It has won 10 out of 12 races and amassed £ 1,164,804 in prize money after 2 seasons. Sir Alex Ferguson has an unending passion for racing horses. PHOTO: DAILY STAR But after the Rock Of Gibraltar “retired”, there was a dispute over ownership of the horse. That indirectly saw Magnier and partner JP McManus sell their stakes in MU to the Glazers. Accordingly, Sir Alex Ferguson believes that he has ownership “half” of this horse. Meanwhile, owner of the world’s largest purebred racehorse Coolmore, Magnier and McManus disagree. On 17 November 2003, a statement made on Magnier’s behalf read, “Coolmore Stud was informed that Sir Alex Ferguson had taken legal action against Mr. John Magnier regarding the ownership of the horse. Rock of Gibraltar. Coolmore Stud and John Magnier consider this action in vain and will strongly defend “. John Magnier is a major shareholder of Manchester United … PHOTO: DAILY STAR A horse dispute is one thing, but that dispute involving coaches and strategic shareholders of the same club as MU is another story. In 2004, Magnier and McManus submitted a list of their 99 “notorious” questions to the Old Trafford team to seek information about the financial situation as well as the MU transfer deal. They even threatened to “take action” to MU if they did not receive a satisfactory answer. Former MU captain Roy Keane revealed in his autobiography “The Second Half” that he had advised Sir Alex Ferguson to give up the dispute but to no avail. Roy Keane writes in his autobiography, “Someone I met in Ireland told me, tell him (Ferguson),” he will never win this. ” I mentioned that to Sir Alex Ferguson. I told him I don’t think it’s good for the club, for the coach in legal disputes with shareholders. I feel like I have a right to say that. … with McManus. PHOTO: DAILY STAR With all that going on, Magnier and McManus began increasing their stake in United through their own company Cubic Expression. Meanwhile, Sir Alex was forced to beg MU fans not to hold protests against the duo Magnier and McManus at the 2004 Cheltenham festival. At the time, Fergie said, “Cheltenham was a classic festival on the Nationak Hunt racing calendar, where people from all over the world and all walks of life gathered to enjoy the race. It’s actually the equivalent of an FA Cup final for a horse racing fan. I do not want this festival to “perish” in any way. Therefore, I ask supporters to refrain from all forms of demonstrations and strongly oppose acts of violence, illegal or disruptive behavior that can create a bad image of the club and MU fans in general. During that Scandal, Malcolm Galzer, owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL team, watched the situation closely. Malcolm Galzer has acquired stakes in Manchester United since March 2003, starting at 2.9% and then gradually increasing to 3.17%, 8.93%, 15%, 16.31%, 19%. and nearly 30% in October 2004. MU fans protested against the Glazers to buy MU. PHOTO: DAILY STAR Then, Malcolm Galzer quickly made an offer to Magnier and McManus asking to buy a 28.7% stake in Cubic Expression in May 2005. That offer has been accepted. That is the premise for Malcolm Galzer to own more than 50% of MU shares and then proceed to acquire the club. A month later, Malcolm Glazer completed a 98% acquisition of Manchester United’s stake from £ 800 million to £ 1 billion. MU fans were extremely angry but helplessly watched the Glazers officially take over Manchester United. But how was the Rock Of Gibraltar race horse dispute resolved in the end? In March 2004, Sir Alex received a one-time £ 2.5 million payment to end the war. Sir Alex Ferguson later mentioned the story in his autobiography published in 2013. Joel Glazer, Avram Glazer and Bryan Glazer were the three sons of Malcolm Glazer at Old Trafford in 2005. Photo: GETTY Sir Alex Ferguson writes in his autobiography, “Rock Of Gibraltar is a wonderful horse. It became the first horse in the Northern Hemisphere to win seven consecutive group 1 races, beating the Mill Reef record. Rock Of Gibraltar is registered to play for my team under the agreement I signed with Coolmore in Ireland. I understand that I have half ownership of the horse, I will also get half the bonus. Everything was then resolved. The issue ended when we reached an agreement and agreed that there was a misunderstanding between the two sides. Apparently, there was a potential conflict between my hobby of horse racing and my possession of the MU club when a man stood up at the AGM and insisted on me to resign. I am very awkward. I must say, there has never been a time when I have been fired from my duties as the head coach of Manchester United. I have an excellent lawyer at Les Dalgarno and he takes care of the situation on my behalf. It doesn’t affect my love of race horses. I am on a good relationship with John Magnier, the leading figure at Coolmore.

Indonesian officials fear the ship may sink deeply, making it difficult to access rescue equipment. In a statement released on April 22, President Joko Widodo called on the people of Indonesia to pray that the crew can return safely. He also ordered all-out use to locate the submarine in distress. More than 20 naval ships, two submarines, five aircraft were mobilized to participate in the search campaign. Lifeboats from Singapore and Malaysia have also arrived on the scene to provide assistance. “Our main priority is the safety of the 53 crew members” Mr. Widodo stressed. Indonesia races against time to rescue the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine. (Photo: Anadolu) Naval Chief of Staff Adm Yudo Margono said, KRI Nanggala 402 is expected to run out of oxygen at 3 am on April 24. Searches are currently concentrated around the oil slick found next to the last dive site of KRI Nanggala 402. But there is currently no evidence that the oil stain was left by a submarine. Margono said the oil could spill from a crack in the fuel tank or the crew could discharge fuel to reduce the weight to help the vessel float. The Indonesian rescue team also found an unidentified highly magnetic object located at a depth of 50-100 m. Officials of this country hope it is the lost ship. However, the Indonesian navy did not rule out the possibility that KRI Nanggala 402 had sunk at a depth of 600-700 m. This depth could crush the ship due to the water pressure. The cause of the disappearance is still unknown. Indonesian officials said the power outage may have prevented the submarine from going through the emergency procedures to float again. In addition to the lifeboats sent to Singapore and Malaysia, Australia, the US, Germany, France, Russia, India, Turkey and South Korea are offering to help Indonesia. Submarine accidents are often catastrophic. In 2000, the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk exploded and sank during a maneuver in the Barents Sea. Most of the 118 crewmembers died immediately, but 23 escaped into the rear compartment before dying because the Russian navy could not find them in time. In November 2017, an Argentine submarine carrying 44 crew members went missing in the South Atlantic. Nearly a year later, the ship’s wreck was found at a depth of 800 meters. But in 2005, a group of seven sailors aboard a small Russian submarine were rescued almost three days after their ship was hooked to a cable at a depth of 190 meters. By the time the cable was cut and surfaced, the amount of oxygen on board was only about six hours. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense said that the German-made diesel-powered KRI Nanggala 402 entered naval service in 1981. The ship carried 49 sailors, one commander and three gunners when it went missing.

The first mission, the Luna 25, is scheduled to depart in October this year with the first trip to the South Pole (on the Moon), where Russian scientists will study water vein under the thick ice. “In the next decade, the Moon will be the focus of our program,” said Lev Zelenyi, scientific advisor at the Russian Federal Institute of Space Research, during an online presentation by the Academy of Sciences. Country held on March 23. Luna 25 ship during assembly and testing before launching to the Moon. Photo: Roscosmos. Many companies in Russia have begun to sketch lunar exploration programs. Meanwhile, the US is aiming to probe humans with the Artemis program, combined with robots to carry out missions on the Moon. In December, China transported the first new lunar soil sample to Earth in a series of ongoing missions called Chang’an. India and Israel promise to launch the next ship to the moon after two successful landings in 2019 (the Chandrayaan-2 and Beresheet). However, only the United States can match Russia’s space heritage on the Moon. The Putin administration is getting back to the space race by continuing a series of missions called Luna, following the tail numbers from the Luna 24 they stopped in 1976. “We want to show our steadfastness,” said Mr. Zelenyi. According to the Space , the Luna 25 is designed to study the permafrost beneath the lunar surface. Explorers hope to exploit them as a resource and gauge the danger posed by sharp pieces of moon dust. Upon landing, the ship will use cameras made by Europe to enhance the European Space Agency’s future lunar missions. Mr. Zelenyi emphasized, Luna 25 is just the beginning, the landfall on the Moon consists of a total of 5 missions with many stages being planned. The first Lunokhod-1 rover to operate on another planet. Photo: Wikipedia. In 2023 or 2024, Russia plans to launch the Luna 26 rocket, this time an orbital ship that searches for magnetic and gravitational anomalies on the Moon and captures highly accurate images of the locations. potential landing. Next, in 2025, along with the ship Luna 27, Russia will continue to return to the Moon. According to Mr. Zelenyi, this is the most important time. As the lander this year, Luna 27 will target the Antarctic and carry European landing software. Additionally, Luna 27 will be supported by a robot from the European Space Agency, which includes a drill that collects rock on the Antarctic Moon without melting compounds such as water ice found in the material. The lander will also carry a set of tools designed to study the solar wind. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the sun’s upper atmosphere and traversing the solar system, affecting the Moon’s surface. The last two missions in the Luna mission series were told by Mr. Zelenyi that the launch date is not yet set. However, the Luna 28, also known as the Luna-Grunt, will be built directly aboard the ship before it to bring back to Earth frozen stored samples taken from the south pole of the Moon. Freezing the samples helps to retain water and other volatile compounds. “The specimens will be brought back, but different from those that have been brought back to earth before,” said Mr. Zelenyi. According to him, the specimen would be not only the topsoil (on the Moon) but all the volatiles and frozen impurities. This is the technical challenge. Eventually, mission Luna 29 will carry the new Lunokhod rover, continuing to merge with Soviet missions. In 1970, the Lunokhod-1 was the first rover to successfully operate on another planet. The car spent 10 months exploring the area known as the Mare Imbrium or Rainy Sea.

Samsung has an unexpected move Photo: @Pixabay. It seems that the company has realized that “quantity is not equal to quality” should decide to slow down with the megapixel race. Recently, famous leaker Ice Universe announced that Samsung now intends to return to another “rationality”, and will stop blindly chasing big numbers. Clearly, we’re talking about the fact that the company is recklessly stopping the megapixel-resolution race. “I heard some news that Samsung smartphones are actively changing the camera sensor. It will return to reasonable, instead of blindly large numbers,” Ice Universe stated. In fact, Samsung admits that quality is not at the megapixel count. Priorities will be the tradeoff between the size and resolution of each pixel. And the first result of this approach that we saw in the Samsung ISOCELL GN2 sensor; in which the company offers a record large sensor size of 1 / 1.12 inch; No frills on the megapixel count with just 50 megapixels. Photo: @Pixabay. After the shocking information above, it is still unclear what the fate of the 200 megapixel sensor on a smartphone with up to 6 cameras, with a dual selfie camera and a homegrown chip will be. On the other hand, there are also rumors that, Samsung has set itself a goal of delivering an insane 600MP sensor. The 600 MP sensor that Samsung has developed seems to have a pixel density of 0.8 µm and a size of about 1 / 0.57 inches. So the result is more work the company has to deal with as the sensor will take up 12% of the smartphone’s area, and it will also result in a 22mm protrusion. The Galaxy Note20 is 8.3 mm thick, which means the 22 mm camera bump will make the phone look too out of date. Photo: @Pixabay. With these changing priorities, it remains to be seen whether this will affect the development of the aforementioned sensors in the near term. In July 2019, CEO of Zeiss, Mr. Michael Kaschke made the point that, the race of “dots” on smartphones is meaningless. Because according to him, “the sensor on a smartphone is so small that mobile photography will never be able to overcome some of the limits such as processing speed, signal ratio, noise … and increasing the number of” dots. “Not the right solution in this regard, even a stumbling block”. In fact, the higher the resolution of the sensor, the smaller the individual pixels, and the more difficult it is to illuminate them entirely. The result is that the image will be noisy, which the algorithms must try to limit to reduce this situation. For Kaschke, a 40 MP sensor is more than enough for a smartphone, let alone 64 MP. Therefore, increasing the number of “dots” will not bring any benefit. Photo: @Pixabay. However, it is undeniable that the introduction of the smartphone is one of the most remarkable strides in the history of the technology industry. It is not simply a pocket communication device but gradually meets all human information needs. Photography is also an equally important part. It creates many new needs such as sharing daily photos, taking selfies, video calling. Smartphone photography is gradually asserting itself with a steady decline in sales of travel cameras. According to data from GfK, Canon’s travel camera revenue is down 2% per year due to the replacement of smartphones.

Leaving the center of Da Nang, going towards the Son Tra peninsula from the direction of Tien Sa cape, visitors can easily see the glorious mountain scenery in the flaming flower season. The rows of trees about 9 to 10 meters high with bright yellow flowers make visitors coming here this season overwhelmed when breathing the fresh air of the mountains, the salty scent of the sea and the golden “flower rain”. Along the winding concrete roads, the golden flowers reach out to shade, the mountains of tourists’ feet are “lost” in this place. Red flowers (also known as scallop, gold phoenix, phoenix gold) in Son Tra peninsula usually begins to bloom at the end of March and last until June. The limestone canopy is also the residence of the rare brown-shanked douc langur of Son Tra peninsula. The rows of glowing yellow trees close to the roadside are the ideal spot to observe the ideal brown-shanked douc langur for visitors to Son Tra peninsula. According to statistics, on an area of ​​more than 4.4 thousand hectares of Son Tra Nature Reserve, there are more than 1300 individuals of the red-shanked douc langur. In the afternoon, the scene of langurs passing branches on the golden canopy to eat attracts many people, tourists and even motorists here to enjoy.

The world has been getting COVID-19 vaccination for several months. Besides the hope that the COVID-19 pandemic will soon be controlled, there is no small concern with the fact that a series of new virus variants have appeared and are still appearing. It can be said that the global market is in the race between the vaccine and the unknown virus variants. The COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson started being distributed in the US in early March amid dangerous spreading of the variants. Photo: GETTY IMAGES Many dangerous variations Virus strain means there is a mutation, changes in the genetic structure of the virus, causing the virus to change the way it works. In addition to the old virus strain, the world currently has many new variants such as B.1.1.7 (originated from England, has spread to more than 90 countries), B.1.351 from South Africa (has spread to more than 40 countries). , P1 and P2 from Brazil (has spread to 25 countries, some cases have been infected and recovered from being re-infected with variant P1), D614G from Europe, A.23.1 from Rwanda. In which the variant appeared from South Africa is said to be the most difficult to prevent and the most dangerous. Studies show that the vaccine strain B.1.351 of the vaccine from Pfizer / BioNTech and of AstraZeneca / Oxford is not as effective as the old vaccine. Clinical trials of vaccines by Johnson & Johnson and Novavax also showed that the ability to prevent this variant is not high. These variants – with a faster rate of spread, a higher risk of death, and an easier way to outdo existing vaccines – threaten efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. And yet, the appearance of the variants also points to another concern: More dangerous variants will emerge in the future if the world fails to win the current race. The current pace of immunization globally is worryingly slow, especially in poor countries. It can be understood that even though rich countries vaccinate rapidly, new variants may emerge in poor countries that have not yet had adequate immunization coverage. Understanding these risks, vaccine developers are working hard to increase effectiveness in coping with variants. And the global health organizations are also making efforts to accelerate the speed of global distribution and vaccination. These are difficult times. This will be our toughest time to see which side wins. If we can hold on for another month or six, there’s a big difference. TS PETER HOTEZ , Rector of Baylor College of Tropical Medicine (USA) Vaccine firms’ efforts The Pfizer / BioNTech vaccines and Moderna’s vaccines (both doses) both use the mRNA molecule as the foundation. This molecule instructs the body to make a mutant protein found in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which signals the immune system to fight off the mutant protein if encountered. The Oxford / AstraZeneca vaccine (two doses) uses a reprogrammed version of another virus, adenovirus, that uses the DNA encoding the mutant protein of SARS-CoV-2. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine (single dose) also uses adenovirus. With these two vaccine platforms, once they want to redirect to deal with new variants, developers will need to modify their DNA or mRNA codes. Fortunately, this can be done simply and quickly, but the disadvantage is that it will require expensive changes to the vaccine production process and more time to produce and distribute. Hoping to avoid these shortcomings, Pfizer is now considering the possibility of adding a third dose to the current two-dose regimen to reinforce the effectiveness of preventing new variants. Talk to the radio NBC News At the end of February, Pfizer chief executive Albert Bourla was confident that “the third dose will increase the antibody response 10 to 20 times”. Moderna is also working on the possibility of giving one-dose booster to the current two-dose regimen. In addition, at the end of February Moderna sent a version of the vaccine optimized to cope with the variant in South Africa to the US National Institutes of Health for further study. Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson is confident its vaccine is resistant to many more variants because it is developed later than the above brands. Johnson & Johnson are also working on a two-dose vaccine (currently only available in one-dose version). Last week Pfizer announced that it would soon launch the trial of COVID-19, a positive news that gives further hope to quell the pandemic. Meanwhile according to the news agency Reuters Currently, many Asian countries are speeding up the distribution of AstraZeneca’s vaccine, after a period of concerns about the safety of the information that this vaccination causes thrombosis appeared in Europe. Earlier this week, many countries and territories in Asia activated vaccination. Some regional leaders are also vaccinated to reinforce confidence, including the Head of the Administration of Taiwan Institute – Mr. To Trinh Xuong, Prime Minister of Thailand Prayut Chan-o-cha. In Europe, after a short hiatus, many continental countries have also restored this vaccination. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson received the first dose last weekend and said “nothing strange”. The AstraZeneca vaccine is one of the few first available COVID-19 vaccines, available at a low cost and according to Reuters This vaccine will be at the heart of COVID-19 vaccination programs in most developing countries. The positive side of “vaccine diplomacy” Currently, the giants of vaccine COVID-19 (USA, China, India) are trying to expand distribution of vaccine globally. Compared to the US, the two countries India and China are more enthusiastic about implementing the campaign “vaccine diplomacy”. China has announced it will donate vaccines to 53 countries, and has already shipped millions of doses of its domestic vaccine to Asia, Africa and Latin America. When asked if the US could surpass China in “vaccine diplomacy” last week, the State Department spokesman did not respond. However, according to the news site The Hill The US is working with countries in the quartet group (India, Australia, Japan) to discuss providing vaccines to Asian countries to both stop the COVID-19 epidemic and as a counterbalance to China’s “vaccine diplomacy” campaign. National. Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed this with three of their counterparts from February 18. During a meeting with G7 leaders last month, US President Joe Biden promised that the United States would donate 4 billion doses to the World Health Organization (WHO) Gavi vaccine alliance and possibly many more.
