The Fed once again held an interest rate meeting.

Of course, the Fed stunned the market once again. After the Fed negotiated interest rates, U.S. Treasury yields soared and the price of gold plummeted. The market exclaimed that Taper is coming, and Taper is coming. …

Suddenly remembered a children’s story.

A papaya was ripe and fell from the tree into the lake, with a grunt, splashing white water. A rabbit heard it, thought it was a monster, and ran away, yelling as he ran, “Run away, come on!” The monkey heard it, and ran along, shouting as he ran, “Everyone, run away, come on!” At this moment, the whole forest was in a commotion, and the animals all ran up, shouting as they ran: “Run for your life, here comes Gudong!” A papaya was ripe and fell from the tree into the lake, with a grunt, splashing white water. A rabbit heard it, thought it was a monster, and ran away, yelling as he ran, “Run away, come on!” The monkey heard it, and ran along, shouting as he ran, “Everyone, run away, come on!” At this moment, the whole forest was in a commotion, and the animals all ran up, shouting as they ran: “Run for your life, here comes Gudong!” What does “Taper” mean?

It means “gradual reduction” in English, and it specifically refers to the Fed’s gradual reduction of its money printing scale (QE), which has brought the so-called “Taper Tantrum” to the financial market.

But to put it bluntly, Taper is just the “gu-dong” that papaya fell into the water.

According to the Fed’s statement and its answers to reporters, the Fed only slightly increased its forecast of economic growth figures and increased its forecast of inflation figures. It did not claim to reduce QE at all. Can’t discuss it?), and didn’t mention any interest rate hikes-but compared to the March meeting on interest rates, in the forecast, the benchmark interest rate in 2023 will be raised by 0.5 percentage points.

Since the US inflation data in May was as high as 5%, which was almost the highest level since 1992, the results of this interest rate meeting were widely interpreted by the market as:

1) To withdraw from easing soon;

2) There will be two interest rate hikes in 2023.

Well, regardless of whether it will withdraw from easing this year, or whether it will actually raise interest rates twice in 2023, the market has begun to anticipate and ferment this matter, and the result that the Fed wants has been achieved.

Because the Fed is the top master of manipulating market expectations.

After the global financial crisis in 2008, the Fed conducted three rounds of QE in six years, and its balance sheet rose from 900 billion U.S. dollars to 4.5 trillion U.S. dollars.

The interest rate meeting in June 2013 was the same as it is now. At that time, the third round of QE was still underway. The then Fed Chairman Bernanke gave clear conditions for reducing QE: when the unemployment rate was approaching 7%.

The results of the meeting on interest rates are also very similar to the structure of this time. The Fed also raised its economic growth expectations and inflation forecasts…

Because the unemployment rate at that time was actually quite close to 7%, and the market at that time also predicted that in December 2013, the probability of the Federal Reserve reducing QE was 80%…

The results of it?

Even if the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 6.7% in March 2014, the Fed did not see a reduction in QE. By mid-2014, the unemployment rate had fallen to 6.2%, and the Fed began to reduce QE, and the Fed’s balance sheet scale was not large. More time will be added to September 2014 (see the figure below, the dark blue line and the left axis are the U.S. unemployment rate so far in 2004, and the dark red line and the right axis are the size of the Fed’s balance sheet so far in 2004).

As for the interest rate hike after the QE reduction in 2013, it was as far as two years later, and after the interest rate hike was once, there was an interval of two years before the interest rate hike again.

Expected management is greater than actual operation, and the form and sample are greater than the actual tightening.

Everyone must remember:

In today’s era of credit money, no matter which central bank, the monetary policy will always be loose but not tight. As long as it can be loose, it must be loose. Even if the economy is overheated, even if inflation is rampant, interest rate hikes and austerity are going back three steps— —On the contrary, if you see signs of economic downturn, easing and interest rate cuts, it will definitely be like a tiger going down the mountain, and it will be implemented.

Believe it or not, let’s take a look at how aggressive the Fed was in 2020 when the U.S. stock market plummeted:

Within two weeks, cut interest rates urgently;

I feel that the interest rate cut is not enough, so I cut the interest rate directly to 0+ days and the amount is loose;

The amount of easing is not enough, unlimited easing + buying corporate bonds directly.

——There is no lower limit for looseness, and tightness depends on installation.

Someone might say that the US inflation rate has now exceeded 5%. If the Fed does not reduce QE or raise interest rates, how can it be explained to the market?

Who told you that the Fed needs to explain to the market on inflation?

The task of the Fed is to guide market expectations!

As long as the market’s inflation expectations come down, inflation will not be a problem.

The Fed constantly hints to the market that the prices of major commodities plummeted from March to July 2020, so the inflation rate in the corresponding month of 2021 appears to be very serious, but this is temporary. After these few months pass, the inflation rate in the United States will Decline, and, in the future, we will have to reduce QE, we will also raise interest rates, and the inflation rate will definitely fall…

Yes, the Fed printed 100% of the base currency in the past year and increased the broad money by 25%, but the Fed firmly believes that the current inflation in the United States must be temporary!

In fact, because politics is not correct, what the Fed is embarrassed to tell everyone is–

Now, what the United States needs most is inflation!

Moreover, we must let the inflation rate exceed the U.S. Treasury bond yield!

Why do I say that?

Because of US government debt!

Think about it, if you owe one million yuan to someone, you have to pay it back, but you have been borrowing money every year, how should you pay it back?

The best way is inflation. If there is an inflation rate of 100% and the nominal price of your total debt remains the same, then your actual debt burden will be reduced by half!

According to the latest data, the total debt of the US federal government has reached 28.3 trillion US dollars.

As long as inflation occurs, both the US GDP growth and US fiscal revenue in nominal dollars will increase significantly, and the interest that needs to be paid to the national debt is fixed when it is auctioned out. As long as the inflation comes up, the debt The burden will gradually decrease.

The benefits are not only here.

Allowing actual inflation to exceed the yield of Treasury bonds will also help the US government issue new debt and borrow more money.

For example, the U.S. government pays 2% interest on national debt, but the actual inflation has been maintained at the current 5%, which means that the real interest rate is -3%, and the U.S. government is not afraid of borrowing more money because of government debt/ GDP will fall, and America’s fiscal ability to pay is getting higher…

As for the price, the price is of course the people who use dollars all over the world are those who buy bonds.

Someone should ask, the real negative interest rate, what if there are not so many people buying U.S. Treasury bonds?

There is also the Federal Reserve, which directly prints money to buy!

This was originally one of the main purposes of the Fed’s QE!

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, under the buy-buy-buy of the Fed, by April 2021, the total amount of US Treasury bonds held by the Fed has exceeded the US Treasury bonds held by overseas investors.

Therefore, many people think that because of the recent increase in inflation, the Fed will soon withdraw from monetary easing. In fact, the Fed is eager for such inflation to continue for a period of time until the Biden administration almost runs out of borrowing money and no longer needs it. When borrowing money, the Fed will consider really reducing QE or even stopping easing.

Also, because everyone expects that the Fed will withdraw from easing and one big buyer will be missing, the market generally infers that the price of Treasury bonds will fall, so the yield will continue to rise, and many major market players are predicting that U.S. bond yields will rise in the second half of the year. To more than 2%…

However, it is likely that everyone is wrong again!

The graph below is a comparison between the Fed’s balance sheet and the yield of 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds from 2006 to date. Since the Fed reduced QE in 2014, U.S. Treasury yields have continued to fall; in 2018, the Fed really began to shrink its balance sheet. , U.S. Treasury bond yields have also fallen (see the two circles in the figure below)…

In other words, the two QE exits since 2008 have proved that each time the so-called QE is reduced or exited, the Fed is just “leading” the public’s expectations. Every time it exits the implementation of QE, either the Treasury bond yield is directly Continue to fall, or Treasury bond yields continue to fall after a short-term rise.

In short, under the manipulation of the Fed, they will definitely keep the yields of treasury bonds at a very low level, and they will surely allow the inflation rate to continue to exceed the yields of treasury bonds, and will definitely reduce the debt burden for the US government…

After all, the Federal Reserve, which claims to protect the value of the U.S. dollar, was originally the world’s largest lie maker!

Airline in crisis Lufthansa wants to get rid of state influence

Status: 15.06.2021 9.45 a.m.

The largest German airline wants to raise additional money on the capital market for its realignment. In doing so, the group is trying to reduce the federal government’s ability to influence as quickly as possible. Lufthansa has initiated its planned capital increase. According to a mandatory announcement yesterday evening, the aviation group mandated four banks to implement the measure. However, according to the announcement “The Management Board and the Supervisory Board have not yet made a decision on the scope and timing of a possible capital increase”. Companies raise capital by issuing additional shares; the shares of the existing shareholders are thus diluted. The company is now implementing the approval of the shareholders received at the general meeting in May. The airline is allowed to raise up to 5.5 billion euros in fresh capital on the capital market. According to media reports, the management initially only wants to mobilize around three billion euros in order to push ahead with the restructuring of the company.

Exclusive 06/01/2021

Billion dollar rescue package

Lufthansa also wants to reduce the influence of the state through the capital increase. Lufthansa was in dire straits due to the Corona crisis and had to be supported by Germany and its other locations with a financial framework of nine billion euros. Germany accounted for a total of 6.8 billion euros of the state rescue package for Lufthansa. However, the airline group only made use of around two billion euros of the guaranteed funds. Half of this has already been repaid with the money from new bonds, so that Lufthansa currently owes the state around one billion euros. A capital increase of three billion euros would enable the company to repay this amount earlier than previously planned. The state would then soon have to sell its block of shares, for which it paid around 300 million euros.

Group wants to drastically reduce costs

With the withdrawal of the state participation, Lufthansa would have more leeway again. Because in return for state aid, the company has to adhere to various conditions: for example, a ban on paying dividends to shareholders or distributing interest to bond owners. Bonus payments to managers are also not yet possible. So far, the plan was not to pay off the state aid until 2023. Even drastic cost savings are probably easier to implement without government influence. According to earlier information, Lufthansa wants to reduce the number of employees in Germany by another 10,000 to 100,000. To this end, Lufthansa wants to lower tariff standards, encourage employees to leave the company voluntarily, but also issue redundancies for operational reasons. The unions had already made concessions in the Corona crisis, but recently accused Lufthansa of evading tariffs.

The approval of the state fund is still pending

The federal government’s economic stabilization fund (WSF), which has a 20 percent stake in Lufthansa, is expected to participate in the capital increase – but without spending additional taxpayers’ money on it. The WSF still has to approve the plan, said Lufthansa. The Corona financial aid fund wants to participate in the capital increase with a so-called “Operation Blanche”. A shareholder sells part of his subscription rights for the new shares in order to exercise the remaining subscription rights with the proceeds. No additional tax revenue is required for this transaction. The MDAX company also announced a new profit target for 2024 in the evening. By then, experts estimate that aviation should return to pre-crisis levels. The adjusted operating margin, i.e. the ratio of operating profit to sales, should then reach at least eight percent, and the return on investment should be at least ten percent.

Government advisory council proposal Will you retire at 68?

Status: 07.06.2021 6:49 p.m.

Advisors to the federal government consider it necessary to raise the retirement age to 68 years. Otherwise, the pension will soon be heading for a “financing shock”. The left reacted indignantly. Advisors to the federal government proposed a reform towards the retirement age at 68 around three months before the general election. There was a risk of “sudden increasing financing problems in the statutory pension insurance from 2025”, predicted the Scientific Advisory Board at the Federal Ministry of Economics on the occasion of its new report on the future of pensions. According to the current legal situation, the age limit for the pension without deductions will be gradually increased from 65 to 67 years until 2029. The proposal could catapult the topic of pensions more strongly into the debates ahead of the federal elections. Because the positions of the advisory board are likely to meet with rejection from the SPD, the Greens, the left and the trade unions. “This is the anti-social Oberhammer,” said left party leader Susanne Hennig-Wellsow with a view to the report. Economics minister Peter Altmaier had to “cash in immediately” the corresponding report from his advisors, “otherwise the pension election campaign will start tomorrow”. The left will “defend the rights of pensioners with tooth and nail”. What would be necessary would be a clear pension guarantee that bindingly excludes pension cuts as a result of the corona pandemic, said Hennig-Wellsow.

“Dynamic coupling of the retirement age to life expectancy”

The experts emphasized that the retirement age cannot be decoupled from the development of life expectancy in the long term. “Instead, the additional years of life must be divided according to a clear rule between working more and receiving a longer pension.” To this end, there should be a “dynamic link between the retirement age and life expectancy”. The relationship between the time spent in work and in retirement should remain constant. According to current projections of life expectancy, such a rule would reach retirement age in 2042 at 68, said the director at the Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy, Axel Börsch-Supan, who was in charge of the report. The advisory board emphasized in its announcement: “Should life expectancy decrease, the retirement age may also decrease.”

“Sharply increasing subsidies from the federal budget” necessary

By calling for the retirement age to be linked to life expectancy, the committee made a proposal that has been causing waves in the pension policy debates in Germany for years. It is illusory to expect “that higher contributions and a lower pension level can be avoided in the long term”, according to the panel of experts. In the opinion of the advisory board, “sharply increasing subsidies from the federal budget” would have to flow into the pension fund if the valid holding lines for contributions and the pension level were to be maintained. “That would be at the expense of future investments, for example in education, infrastructure and climate protection, and would undermine the sustainability of our social system,” said the chairman of the advisory board, Klaus M. Schmidt, according to the announcement. The advisory board’s proposals also include making existing pensions less dynamic than new pensions when it comes to pension increases.

The key to the success of seaweed farming is its growing commercial potential. Illustration: sciencefriday. A new study argues that growing a sufficient number of green seaweeds can help reduce pollution, absorbing most of the harmful waste. The study’s co-author, Phoebe Racine, said the thesis was just an early idea and implementation would take time, but given the lack of progress in other aspects, “there was no other option.” in addition to considering alternative methods”. Racine, a researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara, says growing a variety of seaweed species in less than 1 percent of the Gulf of Mexico’s waters could help the United States meet pollution reduction goals that are already out of reach. . She and her colleagues mapped the suitable area for seaweed cultivation in the Gulf, and the suitable area could be more than 38,500 square kilometers. The Gulf of Mexico is being choked with agricultural and municipal waste. In May 2019, the Mississippi River discharged an average of more than 5,000 tons of nitrates and 800 tons of phosphorus into the Gulf of Mexico, the highest levels in 40 years. These excess nutrients from farm fertilizers and animal waste in the Midwest robs the oceans of oxygen off the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, fueling toxic algae blooms that have led to the so-called “dead zone”. Eutrophication (also known as eutrophication) is when there are too many nutrients in the pond/lake such as nitrate, phosphorus, which exceed the self-regulating capacity of the pond/lake, causing dense growth of plant and animal death due to lack of oxygen. To environmental experts, this problem seems intractable. Called eutrophication, dead zones are proliferating all over the world. There are more than 700 coastal areas worldwide that are “dead zones” or negatively impacted by currents. While the United States bears the bulk of agricultural waste, municipal wastewater is the main culprit in South America, Asia, and Africa. Annually, they cause economic losses of $3.4 billion in Europe and the United States alone by affecting tourism and fishing resources; while reducing property values, water treatment and adverse health effects. Over the past 10 years, 85 communities in the United States have spent a total of more than $1 billion to prevent or treat toxic algal blooms. Among the hardest hit areas is at the mouth of the Mississippi River, where the continued discharge of domestic waste from the heart of the United States has destroyed the local seafood and tourism industries. The Mississippi River empties into the Gulf of Mexico, carrying fertilizer and livestock waste from Midwestern farms. Photo: Bloomberg. Growing seaweed is considered as one of the green solutions to solve this problem. Seaweed farming dates back to 1,700 years ago in China. Today, countries like Indonesia and the Philippines, along with China and South Korea, lead the world in this area. In South Korea, where aquaculture has grown by 300% in the past 30 years, an intensive effort has proven its usefulness as a waste reduction tool. According to one study, farms that grow three major seaweed species and two shellfish species (all filter feeds without additional feed) accounted for 5.7% of carbon dioxide and 8.6% of carbon dioxide emissions. nitrogen emissions from all wastewater treatment plants in Korea. The key to the success of seaweed farming is its growing commercial potential. These aquatic plants can absorb excess nitrogen and phosphorus, turning it not only into food for humans, but also expanding a range of other commercial uses. The most commonly grown seaweeds include red or brown algae or algae. Some are used to make culinary thickeners or jellies for culturing bacteria in the lab. Others are dried into sheets for sushi rolls. While sugar kelp can be used as a sweetener, kelp is also used in toothpaste, shampoo, frozen foods, and even pharmaceuticals. Making seaweed farms profitable will be an important consideration to promote them as an agricultural and municipal waste treatment solution. Asia currently has a very strong demand for seaweed. Human consumption, which includes everything from sushi rolls to broths to salads, is the largest market for harvested seaweed. But growing demand can also be seen in the cosmetic and fertilizer industries, as well as aquafeeds. However, mass aquaculture faces a number of significant obstacles, particularly its labor-intensive nature. Globally, the demand for seaweed is forecast to double to $30 billion by 2025. However, in the United States, the seaweed market is relatively small. Gretchen Grebe, an aquaculture scientist at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, says seaweed farming in the US is largely “in the R&D phase.” “Using seaweed farming to remediate any large amounts of nutrient pollution would require significant expansion — the current scale of farming wouldn’t even matter,” says Grebe. In the United States, states have different regulations regarding aquaculture licensing. While it’s relatively easy to get a seaweed farm permit in Maine and Alaska, in California it requires meeting a stack of overlapping regulations. Bailey Moritz, Program Manager of the World Wildlife Fund, said: “Offshore activities hold promise. Our goal is to see seaweed growth that will have meaningful impacts [đối với sự suy giảm chất dinh dưỡng], and scale is needed for that.” But large-scale offshore seaweed farming is still at least a decade away from taking place in the US, and only when biofuels, bioplastics and animal feed are generated enough. need. Seaweed holds great promise, Grebe said, but scientists are quick to point out that the main driver is the imperative to reduce watershed waste inputs. “We are asking a lot of seaweed farmers to treat the nutritional waste that we dump into the Gulf,” she concludes.

Stuffed snails are currently a popular food in the market. Growing commercial stuffed snails is a new economic development direction, many farmers have escaped poverty to get rich. Stuffed snails are easy to raise, do not cost investment but give very high efficiency. Photo: LNC. Ha Son is currently one of the communes with the largest number of people and area for commercial snail farming (with 9 farming households) along with a lot of experience in aquaculture. such as Mr. Nguyen Xuan Bac 5 sao, Pham Hong Hien, Nguyen Xuan Hai (3 sao each), Mr. Tran Van Binh 4 sao… Many households in Yen Son commune (Ha Trung district) also raise snails stuffed with nets. , reaching an income of 35 – 40 million VND / sao (excluding costs), the profit is 2-3 times higher than that of some other aquatic products. Recently, Ha Trung District People’s Committee has implemented a model of linking commercial stuffed snail farming according to the value chain associated with product consumption in Yen Duong commune. The model for assessing the adaptability, productivity, income and economic efficiency of stuffed snails originated from Tam Phuc Aquatic Breeds Co., Ltd (Yen Dinh district), transferring technical advances to farmers. commercial stuffed snails, forming a chain of production and consumption of products. Before the implementation, 2 selected farmers, Mr. Le Van Tuy and Mr. Le Xuan Dau (Yen Duong commune) signed a commitment to participate in the implementation of the model (along with 20 other households in the commune) approved by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. District Agricultural Service cooperates with District Farmers’ Association to train and disseminate technical knowledge on commercial stuffed snail farming. Accordingly, Mr. Tuy used 800 m2 of farmland for farming ponds, and at the same time received 80,000 seed snails; Mr. Dau uses 700 m2 of farmland to build a pond and receive 70,000 snail seed. Each nest of stuffed snails minus the cost, can give an income of over 60 million VND. Photo: LNC. Households participating in the model receive free support on seeds and techniques. Before stocking snails, the pond is dredged clean, sprinkled with lime powder to neutralize the pH in order to eliminate all kinds of carp, carp, and turtle that can eat snails. The pond bank is cleared of bushes to avoid nesting mice and convenient when harvesting. In ponds, put water hyacinth and water spinach to increase the coolness of the pond and create more places for snails to cling. The water level in the pond is maintained from 0.8-1.5m. The measured pH is 6.5 – 8; Dissolved oxygen reached the permissible threshold, the stocking density of snails was 100/m2 of pond, the weight was from 0.4 – 0.6 grams/individual. Selected snail seed are healthy, good quality, shell is not chipped, stamped, top shell is bright color. When stocking snails, take water from the pond and pour it into pots, drop the media (female duckweed, cassava leaves…) and put the snails in a pot to soak for 10-15 minutes to balance the living environment. pots and then slowly drop the seed snails into the pond gently to avoid building the shells and damaging the snails… The main food of stuffed snails is duckweed, green vegetables, cereals. Snails have the habit of both floating and living on the bottom, moving slowly and unevenly distributed in the pond, often concentrated in some areas in the pond. Therefore, it is necessary to create different terrains and depths to diversify habitats for snails and easily monitor and care for snails. Ha Trung district (Thanh Hoa) is aiming to build the farming of stuffed snails into commodity production, associated with OCOP products. Photo: LNC. After stocking snails until 2 months old, there is no need to change the water. To the 3rd month of culture, change the water once every 2 weeks, each time changing 3/4 of the water in the pond. In the households in the model in Yen Duong commune, due to good management and care techniques, snails grow well, evenly and healthy. After 3 – 4 months of farming, snails reach a commercial snail weight of 25 – 30 pieces/kg, then start harvesting. Use a boat to go around the pond to catch big snails (in the morning) because snails cling to plant leaves, cassava leaves, and duckweed roots to eat, so harvesting is easy… According to the calculations of the households in the model, minus costs, the profit reached 61 million VND/sao (an increase of more than 20 million VND/sao compared to current farming experience). In addition to economic efficiency, the technique of raising stuffed snails is quite simple, the care is not too complicated. The main food for snails is clean and easy-to-grow vegetables, raising stuffed snails has no adverse impact on the ecological environment… Ha Trung district has recently provided technical training for 70 farming households and households wishing to raise stuffed snails to continue replicating in the district, towards building product brands (OCOP). In the early morning, snails often float to the surface, clinging to cassava leaves and duckweed to eat, so farmers can know which areas are more concentrated, avoiding excess or lack of food. Food for snails must be clean, leave the whole plant, leaves, not chopped because snails have the habit of sticking to the surface of the leaves to eat. Only feed concentrates (cereals) once a day. Adjust the amount of food according to the snail’s ability to eat (from 0.5-1% of the snail weight in the pond).

In the Northern VFC universe, perhaps Pham Quynh Nga will be the actress ranked first in the list of People with the most perfect body. Although this year has been 32 “pots of banh chung”, but her body is still young and beautiful like a girl in her twenties. It is also because of that advantage that 8X beauties are often “tailored to make shoes” for “small tam” roles with high requirements for fiery, flamboyant bodies. Quynh Nga holds the No.1 position when confidently taking off her pants waistband to show off her toned waist. The sister association has seen many times before, short videos sharing small exercises at Quynh Nga’s gym. However, currently, all gyms are temporarily closed to strictly comply with the 5K regulations to prevent the epidemic, so once again, the actress shares tips to practice at home. Notably, this exercise only takes place in just over 12 minutes, including warm-up, but has a deep and effective impact on the waist and buttocks. Women who are suffering from bone and joint problems, have a “strawberry fall” period or even have a headache due to weather changes can also practice without fear of being affected. Now choose a space, spread the millet rug and let’s get started! Part 1 – Ancient Boots You perform the movement of turning your neck evenly in all directions, and at the same time reaching your hands up to stretch the joints of the neck, shoulders, hands and bucket. Meanwhile, you can do this warm-up in a sitting position with legs crossed like Quynh Nga or standing with two feet wide. This neck warm-up takes 1 minute 30 seconds. Next, you need to warm up the intercostal muscles and lats by placing one hand on the ground and slowly bringing the other hand to stretch in the opposite direction. Notice how your eyes follow your hands, and breathe deeply and evenly. Do each side for 10-15 seconds. Part 2 – Warming up the buttocks and thighs Next, step one foot forward so that when you lower your hips, your legs form a 90-degree angle, and at the same time, your hands are on your hips, and your back is straight. Breathe deeply and practice slowly to feel your glutes and thighs being burned flexibly. Repeat up and down 5-10 times. Immediately after that, you extend the instep of your foot straight, close to the ground, and at the same time extend the supporting leg and twist the hand against the thigh so that your back is fully stretched. The movement is done until you feel the muscle is soft and change to the other leg. Part 3 – Burning butt and thighs We’re done with the warm-up and on to the acceleration, reaching the finish line. You need to stand with feet wide, about shoulder-width apart, and then slowly bend one knee, lowering your hips. Pay attention to feel the glutes and thighs, try to tighten the abdomen so that the body does not fall forward too much. You can extend your hands parallel to your face for balance. Do the movement for about 45 seconds. Next, you need to warm up the hamstrings by spreading your legs wide, bending deeply into the ground. Then bend your knees, lower your hips, and twist your body slightly to loosen your back. Repeat between the two sides until you feel comfortable. Part 4 – Tighten your waist You can clip a sponge between your feet like Quynh Nga or you can’t have one. This exercise is also known as lying leg raise, which means you lie on your back, position your back in a natural hammock position, then inhale deeply and slowly raise your legs to the ground and lower them. Note, the more feet do not touch the ground, the more energy you will burn. Perform the movement for 45-60 seconds. Next, you bend your legs and take turns using your hands to reach your ankles continuously on both sides. Try to lift your head and shoulders up to burn as much energy. Part 5 – Plank Continuity Plank is one of the high calorie burning exercises at home. The plank moves Quynh Nga teaches can be mentioned as side plank, high plank, classic plank or even twisted plank. You can rest between sets for 5-10 seconds. Perform side plank for about 30 seconds or 60 seconds on each side depending on the health of each person. Remember to tighten your stomach, squeeze your butt to keep your back straight. Then, come to plank hands and plank elbows. The difficulty will be raised and the energy burned more. Watch the full clip of the episode here.

Saffron is the most expensive raw material in the world, for sale at prices ranging from 350,000 VND to 450,000 VND per gram, equivalent to 350 – 450 million VND/kg depending on the quality and origin. Iran is currently the largest saffron-producing country in the world with an output of about 90% of the world, followed by India, Spain, Turkey, and Morocco. Saffron is a bulbous plant, belonging to the family Iridaceae, with a height of about 15-20cm and purple flowers. The plant usually only blooms from October to November. Each saffron flower has only 3 stigmas, which have a different aroma and taste than other flowers. In Vietnam, after many years of research and trial planting, Sa Pa has successfully grown saffron with strict temperature regulation techniques. On average, to get 450g of saffron, one must harvest about 75,000-250,000 saffron flowers and must be harvested entirely by hand in the morning immediately after the flowers bloom. Vanilla is a familiar flavoring to create flavor and aroma for food. However, few people know that natural vanilla is very rare and extremely expensive, about 15-20 million/kg. Natural vanilla is the crystalline coating on the seed surface of an orchid of the same name. There is a favorable growth period and better harvesting conditions than saffron, but the process is still quite laborious. To harvest vanilla, farmers will have to hand-harvest the fruit just before it’s ripe, steam-treated, and store for four weeks in an airtight container for fermentation. In Vietnam, Mr. Tran Van Minh (1981, in Binh Duong) was the first person to successfully grow natural vanilla with a farm size of more than 10,000m2. It took him 5 years to test and scale up. Aji Charapita pepper is known as the most expensive spice in the world and is less widely grown, so it becomes more and more precious and rare. This agricultural product is sought after by many high-class restaurants and the rich in some parts of the world. In some countries, the price of this chili is sold to high-end restaurants up to $ 25,000 (about VND 560 million) per kilogram. Even, there was a time when the price of Aji Charapita chili was up to 35,000 USD (more than 800 million VND). The size of this chili pepper originating from northern Peru is only about the size of a pea. This chili can be eaten raw or crushed into a powder to spice up the dish. When eaten raw, Aji Charapita peppers have a delicious fresh fruity taste that makes salads or sauces more flavorful. Mr. Cuong in Dak Nong has imported Aji Charapita from Europe and successfully planted it in his garden. He successfully propagated and sold the first chili peppers to the market. The selling price is only 10 million VND/kg for the fresh type, while the dry ones are priced at 50 million VND/kg. Please watch the video: The strangest shaped trees in the world.

The original sharing of director Quoc Bao. But usually what comes from love, the accompanying action is caring, caring, supportive… (and a little biased, mocking, sometimes even a bit blind) calling dear feed!

The process of raising Ca cuong according to the Aquaponist model of Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan brings high economic efficiency. Sharing about her start-up journey from the Ca cuong farming model, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan said that Phuoc Chi commune is considered a pure agricultural commune, so people here mainly grow rice and since childhood she has been attached to it. with fields, garden vegetables, frogs, frogs…; in it, there is a Ca cuong However, due to the changing habitat, the wild Ca cuong is gradually disappearing in the wild. In 2015, through researching on the information pages, she learned that Tay Ninh has successfully propagated Ca cuong in captivity, so she came to buy seed for trial at home. Through many times of raising and propagating Ca cuong failed because she did not know well about Ca cuong species, but with determination, not discouraged, she finally understood the technical process of raising Ca cuong. At the end of 2016, she has invested in 10 ponds with 2,000 breeders. In 2017, she started selling the first batch of Ca cuong and was popular with consumers. The benefits brought back far exceeded the plan with the average price of 30,000 – 130,000 VND / commercial Ca cuong and 100,000-200,000 VND / Ca cuong seed. According to Lan, Ca cuong is a fast-reproducing species with large numbers and lays all year round. Each birth is only 1 – 1.5 months apart / litter. Each nest of Ca cuong has about 100 eggs, after 5-7 days the eggs hatch into larvae, the hatching rate is nearly 100%. From hatching to commercial sale about 45 days, while raising for spawning about 75 days. Currently, Ms. Lan’s Ca cuong farm has an area of ​​3,000 m2. Raising Ca cuong is not difficult, but multiplying Ca cuong herds is not easy because Ca cuong is very sensitive to the environment, especially pesticides, in order to raise Ca cuong, it is necessary to choose a cool place, the water source is not polluted. . Therefore, farmers need to continuously monitor the growth and reproduction of Ca cuong to adjust appropriate care to achieve the best results. However, according to Lan, the food for Ca cuong is fresh food such as fish, baby frogs, and baby frogs, so when the food is not consumed, it is easy to pollute the water source. To ensure that the water source for raising Ca cuong is clean enough, farmers must change the water regularly. In addition, the process of growth from hatching to maturity, they undergo 5 molting, each time the farmer has to follow up to remove the embryo, so it takes a lot of time. The process of raising Ca cuong according to the Aquaponist model of Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan brings high economic efficiency. In early 2020, by learning about the aquaponist model (a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics grown hydroponics), she realized that this model was suitable for her Ca cuong farm. Investing in building 30 more Ca cuong ponds with a scale of nearly 10,000 fish and stocking dozens of pounds of fish, along with 1,000 m2 of organic vegetable gardens to produce under a closed process. Ms. Lan shared, when applying the aquaponist model, Ca cuong, the food of Ca cuong (which is a fish) and vegetables will be grown in the same circulatory system. Ca cuong eats food and produces waste products in the water. Water containing waste is fed into mechanical and microbiological filtration system. Thanks to the participation of beneficial bacteria, the wastewater from the aquarium will be converted to organic nutrients into vegetable growing tanks, vegetables absorb nutrients in the water, then purify the water and provide backwards. back to the Ca cuong and the spiny fish tanks. As a result of the application of aquaponist technology, Lan’s Ca cuong herd grows healthier, the wastage rate is low, thereby saving 30% of the cost of food for Ca cuong, 50% reduction in the amount of clean water supplied. daily and 70% reduction in labor force. Ms. Lan also said that each month, her Ca cuong farm supplies to the market more than 10,000 commercial Ca cuong, after deducting the cost, bringing in profits from 40 to 50 million VND per month. In addition, thanks to the reduction of input fees, the source of Ca cuong seed sold by Ms. Lan is also 40% lower than the market price. The process of raising Ca cuong, growing aquatic vegetables according to the Aquaponist model of Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan brings high economic efficiency. According to Ms. Lan, at present, consumers are mainly aware of products processed from Ca cuong meat such as fried, steamed … because Ca cuong meat and eggs contain many proteins, lipids and vitamins. However, the most valuable of the Ca cuong is the bag of essential oils in the belly of the male Ca cuong. Foreseeing this, in addition to selling Ca cuong seeds, meat, realize that Ca cuong fish sauce is one of the products that still preserves the essential oils of Ca cuong, the delicious and fatty taste is accepted by the market. Lan continues to invest in production lines and fish sauce processing to diversify products from Ca cuong, increase value and have more stable output while more and more businesses and farmers invest. to cultivate this insect. In order to build a brand for the product, capture the One-Commune Program (OCOP), right from the moment the program was launched, she applied for the Ca cuong fish sauce product called “Phong Lan”. . Since registering for the certification of OCOP products, a good reputation, many companies, businesses, and supermarkets have come to find out about the product and more and more orders are placed, Ms. Lan chalk. Khoi said.

Open up livelihood opportunities Currently, the farming of sea cucumbers in Vietnam needs 20 million breeds of sea cucumbers, but in the country, it is only active about 1 million breeds of sea cucumbers to serve the needs of the farmers, while the white sea cucumber breeds have. 5 times the value of sand sea cucumber is still difficult. To study the breeding of white-breasted sea cucumber, Institute III collaborated with USC University to implement the project to improve production of high-value sea cucumber through molecular technology. Raising white-breasted sea cucumbers by cages in Van Ninh sea. With the use of a hormone produced at USC University, extracted from the nerves of the sea cucumber itself, then transplanted into yeast to multiply on a large scale in the laboratory, effectively stimulating reproduction. High and does not affect the health of white-breasted sea cucumber parents. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Quang Duy – project manager said: Using hormones instead of traditional methods has stimulated the reproduction of white breasted sea cucumber successfully. The project has produced nearly 20,000 breeders for commercial experiments and breeding trials on cages in Khanh Hoa, Quang Ninh with 3 households participating. Commercial white sea cucumber. Mr. Nguyen Duc Thoai (Dam Mon village, Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district) raised white-breasted sea cucumber experiment on cages said, after 8 months of raising, from the breed with a weight of about 0.3 grams increased to gain amount of 60 grams, survival rate reached 92%. The successful production of white-breasted sea cucumber will open up opportunities to create livelihoods for aquaculture farmers in the province in the near future. Reduce natural extraction pressure According to the leaders of the Fisheries Department, the successful production of white sea cucumber will help diversify aquatic breeds, reduce the pressure of natural exploitation, especially serving the strategic direction of fisheries development of the province during the period. next time; At the same time, contributing to environmental protection … However, white sea cucumber is often distributed at a depth of tens of meters, so the stocking in cages at low depths, whether it really brings efficiency is required. specific reviews. In this regard, scientists believe that, before, white-breasted sea cucumber distributed a lot in shallow areas. However, due to the rarity and overexploitation, sea cucumbers have higher and higher depth distribution. Therefore, raising white-breasted sea cucumber in the cage is very positive, helping to improve the environment very well. Currently, the output of white-breasted sea cucumber is mainly purchased by Vietnam Sea cucumber Joint Stock Company. “Products of Vietnam Sea cucumber Joint Stock Company 90% for export markets: Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and in the near future will expand markets in the US, China … Besides processing dried sea cucumber. , the company also produces products that consumers can slice using fresh. Currently, the company boosts purchasing in Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen. The company can afford to buy products for white-breasted sea cucumber farmers, ”said Mr. Le Thanh Nhan – Chairman and General Director of Vietnam Sea cucumber Joint Stock Company. FLASH LA

The appropriate time for nursing Ha is late February and early March of the lunar calendar.

Hanging string farming is most developed in Hoang Tan commune. Currently the whole commune has thousands of rafts of oysters, large and small. Over the past 10 years, many households in Hoang Tan island commune have developed their economy, enriched by raising oysters.

Previously, the farming of Ha was fragmented, mainly the way of raising on tiger parrot branches, both ineffective and affecting the ecological environment of the mangrove area. Since 2011, a number of households have tried farming by driving piles to the tidal flats, then tie the piles together into trusses and hang up skewer.

Mr. Truong Van Ket, Chairman of Hoang Tan Commune Farmers Association, said: From a few experimental farming households, up to now, the commune has nearly 1,000 households raising hanging ropes, with a scale of over 4,000 hectares of water surface. In this form of farming, they have a fast growth rate, a high survival rate of 80-95%, and a harvest of about 5,000 tons / year.

Working as oyster farming, hanging rope is not too hard, but it requires experience. The farming process is very simple, just take advantage of the exploited shells, bring them to dry in the sun, then punch a hole in the shell to skew to the rope and release. Depending on whether seed is obtained from the wild or from imported seed sources, farmers will create potting ropes with suitable density.

Mr. Nguyen Van Bong’s family in village 5, Hoang Tan commune has been attached to the farming of stringed stringers for more than ten years. Like many other families here, at the end of February, the beginning of the third lunar month is when his family and other households start to breed Ha. In the morning, when the water is dry, people take advantage of tying the skewers of mint to the truss, waiting for the tide to rise. These skewers will become the substrates for the seed in nature to cling to.

After about 2-3 months of nursing, the seedlings have grown to the size of their fingers, people begin to separate each cord to hang to create conditions for the hippopotamus to develop. Each cord has about 5-6 children, hanging about 10-15cm apart. When high tide floods the hanging piles, the tidal currents of the Ha stick cling to the crust and grow and develop on their own. Ha will eat the plankton, algae in the water to grow. So oyster farming does not cost much to buy food and take care like other types of seafood.

However, Mr. Bong also shared that this job is much affected by weather conditions and water salinity, so the risk is quite high. Sometimes, the whole crop will disappear if the water source is polluted, and the disease will die. On the other hand, if the stocking is too dense, it can make the galaxies look fatter for a long time, the harvest time is extended for several months, leading to the higher rate of death.

Model of raising ocean on raft.

The time to switch from summer to autumn when the weather is cold is the time when the hanging rope grows fastest. Farmers have to calculate the tidal water to move the rafts to the farming area with lots of algae to feed them. Usually around November of the lunar calendar begins to harvest.

Compared with wild extraction, the hanging rope model is 10 times more effective, while the initial investment cost is not much, and easy to harvest. Ha in Hoang Tan is of better quality. Because of the mixture of soil, water and soil, the Ha is fat, thicker than the cultured in other localities.

Oyster farming not only brings about great economic value but also benefits in environmental protection. Oysters and mussels purify water through their breathing, and they also eat microorganisms and plankton that make seawater cleaner.

Since the occupation of hanging string, the life of the island commune people gradually changed their flesh. Hoang Tan has become a supplier of oysters, mussels and other aquatic species to a large number of the province, and is famous for its fresh and greasy oyster products. This is also one of the key products of Quang Yen province in implementing the OCOP program, one product per commune and ward.

And when mentioning Hoang Tan, people will immediately remember the profession of hanging rope – a profession that attaches to the lives of coastal people, lives on the sea, contributes to the protection of the marine environment and receives precious gifts. prices from the sea.
