The work is in the Top 10 scientific books of the year by Booklist, Top 11 books of the Daily Beast and was voted by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book in 2012. (Source: Medisights) The faces of murderers are different With disease origin, David Quammen weaves an exceptional story, a detective novel with very different, but also very real, killers. They are viruses, bacteria and protozoa that cause disease in animals, but sometimes, they will change their target and jump to humans. Each chapter of the book is a journey in pursuit of a new criminal, led by a team of detectives from all over the world. The book is the notes of David Quammen in the process of accompanying them, following the traces to find the culprit. After the first chapter on the terrible virus that decimates both horses and humans, the Ebola virus emerges through a dark story, with dead gorillas stacked on top of each other, carrion in the woods and magic. The story doesn’t need the usual Ebola hype to create a macabre atmosphere (with bloody tears and melted organs) and the author doesn’t need to, because the disease itself terrible enough. He is more interested in delving into these diseases, learning what we already know about them and how that helps us prevent new diseases from appearing in the future, while limiting their consequences. their fruit. In each chapter, the diseases gradually become clear, starting with just a couple of rumors, a few mysterious deaths that seem unrelated to each other. The investigation process gradually unravels the problem, until finally the truth of the culprit is revealed. Along the way, we’ll see the myriad ways pathogens can move from host to host – through feces, secretions, mucus and blood – and explore possible dangerous behaviors leads to exposure: climbing trees, drinking date sap, eating or simply touching dead animals. The author also looks for unintentional accomplices who are animals that carry the disease before it is transmitted to humans: pigs, birds, monkeys, gorillas and bats. The Detective’s Journey However, the real heroes here are the detectives – scientists who work non-stop, from the lab to the field, looking for answers to cases committed by petty murderers. baby caused. Not only talented in describing how the virus works, David Quammen is also very successful in painting portraits of those heroes: from molecular biologists studying SARS “with the instincts of a epidemiologist with the courage of a red-faced monkey”, to the ecologist with a passion for exotic oriental dishes, to the veterinary pathologist with “the tough and stern body of a The former rugby player has passed the age of 40. The historical details can be found in the book as well: 19th century scientists used optical microscopes to look for tiny organisms in the blood cells of malaria patients, while the virus continued to hide behind a veil of mystery until the invention of the electron microscope in the 1930s. Readers also see important historical milestones such as: President Hoover banned the import of parrots into the United States; an outbreak of arthritis and a rash, preceded by contact with deer ticks, in the town of Lyme in Connecticut; and a series of seemingly harmless, but actually deadly, cases in a series of male patients in the United States in the 1980s. Author David Quammen. (Source: Town Hall Seattle) David Quammen has carried us around the world, from the labs to the field with investigators – bat traps in China, monkeys in Bangladesh, deep into the jungles of Cameroon. Towards the end of the book, we’ll leave reality a little behind and embark on a fictional voyage to the origins of HIV along the Congo River. The author also asserts that the appearance of diseases transmitted from animals, pathogens that find us from other organisms, is not new, but is on the rise. He seeks to find the reason behind that phenomenon in the final chapter of the book: the huge population of humans, along with the immense amount of livestock, the destruction of natural habitats, damaged ecosystems. disruption – things that can completely turn into a debate about nature’s revenge on humanity. David Quammen is one of today’s most influential journalists and authors, a three-time US National Magazine Award recipient. His articles have been published in famous magazines such as National Geographic, New York Times, Rolling Stone and Harpers.

In 527, at the time when the Eastern Roman Empire ruled Syria, soldiers discovered in an alcove there existed a lamp covered with a very sophisticated hood. According to history books, this lamp was lit in the year 57, which means that the lamp has been burning for nearly 500 years. Another lamp above the door of the temple of the sun god in Egypt is also recorded by Greek historians. The lamp does not use any fuel and still burns brightly for centuries, despite the impact of rain and wind. The oldest lamp was discovered in the 1400s, in the tomb of Pallas, son of the ancient Roman king Evandra. Thus, this lamp has so far burned brightly for more than… 2,600 years. To date, scientists have not been able to get an exact answer for that strange black chemical. In 1534, King Henry VIII’s army stormed the English synagogue, disbanding religious groups and excavating numerous graves. While digging through the grave of the Roman emperor Constantin’s father in Yorkshire, they discovered a burning lamp. This king’s father died in the year 300, which also means that the lamp was found to have a “life expectancy” of more than 1,200 years? These are just a few of the many millennial lights that do not go out. Records show that this mysterious phenomenon occurs all over the world, typically in countries and regions with ancient civilizations such as India, China, Egypt… The strange thing is that these mysterious lights are not preserved and preserved for the next life. Many researchers believe that, at that time, there were so many eternal lamps that they did not need to be preserved, so they did not have measures to preserve these “forever” finds. According to records, in fact, ancient people also thought of preserving these lamps, but strangely, shortly after being discovered, they were quickly destroyed by various causes. The scholar Saint Augustin (354-430) described an eternal lamp in the temple of Isis (Egypt). The most confusing thing is that it is located in the roofless part, despite the wind and rain. Similarly, the lamp in Edessa (Syria) burned for 500 years in extreme weather conditions. In 1300, the “special oil” theory was partly clarified, when the researcher Marcus Grecus wrote in his Liber Ignum (Book of Fire) that some eternal lamps used special fuels. It wasn’t oil but just a fine powder made from “glow worms”, but what kind of worms Marcus didn’t know and the mystery was forever buried. Marcus only said that “I looked at the wick, it was as long as my arm. A long time later, I came back and it was the same length, no one changed the wick or added more flour.” In 1401, in the grave of Pallas (son of King Evandra – Roman), people found an eternal lamp and said it had burned for 2,600 years. To put it out, according to the elders, there is only one way to break it all or pour out its “oil”. In 1450, a farmer in Padoue (Italy), while plowing his field found an earthenware vase, followed by two small metal vessels, one of gold and one of silver. In these two jars was a strange slime, half oil, half honey. Inside the terracotta vase was another terracotta vase containing an eternal lamp that was still burning. Buried underground (since when) and burned in such low oxygen conditions, it is a mystery. In 1610, researcher Ludovicius Vives claimed to have seen an eternal lamp (burning for 1,500 years) and was smashed by potters. The historian Cambden (England) in 1586 also mentioned an eternal lamp at the grave of Constantius Chlorus, father of Constantine the Great. Chlorus died in 306 in England and since then, an eternal lamp has been placed in his grave. In Spain, there was also an eternal lamp found at Cordone in 1846. Priest Evariste – Regis Huc (1813-1860) was an avid traveler in Asia and found such an immortal lamp in Tibet in 1853. The above findings prove that these mysterious lamps are not the product of Greece, Egypt or Rome alone. Chemist Brand (Hambourg – Germany) in 1669 determined that these eternal lamps burn for so long because of phosphorus. Others believe that they burn for a long time because they do not need air, on the contrary, if exposed to air they will extinguish. If this opinion is true, could the ancients know the vacuum technique? Besides, fire burns without oxygen is a very difficult thing to understand. These debates force people to turn to another mystery: the Egyptian lighting technique. On the streets of ancient Egypt, people used oil lamps and torches. Fuels are residues that are rich in fats and oils. But in the crypts dug up to 100 meters into the mountains, what light did the slaves and sculptors work with? In these catacombs, there was no trace of any lamps or torches. So did the Egyptians use mirrors to reflect sunlight? But the “mirrors” of that time were only silver, and could only reflect 40% of the light, meaning that at a depth of a few tens of meters, darkness would completely cover again. A shocking discovery has shocked the archaeological world: at the temple of Hator in Denderah, built more than 4,200 years ago, there are drawings showing that the Egyptians “used strange instruments that looked like light bulbs. electricity today!”. Is this the mysterious light technique? Scientist Erich Von Daniken (Germany) is trying to recreate these giant light bulbs in the lab, but has not found the core of the problem. Egyptologists also conceded defeat, because apparently there was no electricity at that time. With such records of “forever-on” lamps being discovered around the world, it may be confirmed that these mysterious lamps do indeed exist. However, the manufacture and use of them is still a mystery to mankind and the scientific world.

AMD recorded 8.9% growth in the first quarter of 2021, the highest in 15 years In 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, AMD has focused on high-end desktop CPUs and EPYC chips for servers. The first quarter of the year recorded a record increase of 41% over the same period last year, which is the highest number for the CPU market in 25 years. AMD’s biggest growth most recently came in 2006, when the chipmaker saw its server CPU market share increase from about 5-7% to about 22% in just 18 months with the 64-bit Opteron processor. bits. Then, Intel overtook AMD to let Intel regain its leadership in technology and hold it for 10 years. AMD has launched EPYC Milan and it is used for data centers and supercomputers. Consistent growth in the first quarter will propel AMD further in its goal of becoming a leader in the server CPU segment. The choice of EPYC chip has proven that AMD’s direction is appropriate in recent times. One question is what the growth of ARM architecture means for ARM and Intel in the near future, while Nvidia, Microsoft and others are gradually moving to produce ARM-based CPUs. As for Intel, most recently launched Rocket Lake processors and they compete directly with AMD Ryzen 5000. However, Intel’s chips are more commonly found in retail stores at very affordable prices. competition while AMD’s chips are still rare on store shelves. AMD still has a strong portfolio of next-gen EPYC CPUs such as the 4th Gen EPYC Genoa chips that are expected to be announced next year and will feature the all-new Zen 4 core architecture and a host of other features to addresses Intel Sapphire Rapids & Granite Rapids Xeon CPUs.

The software helps to record the thoughts in the brain into writing on the computer. The combination of mental effort and modern technology has allowed a motionless man (T5) to communicate by text at a speed comparable to that of healthy colleagues texting. on smartphone. Study participant (T5) almost lost all mobility below the neck because of a spinal cord injury in 2007. The scientists placed two brain-computer interface chips, each about the same size. an aspirin pill, on the left side of T5’s brain. Each chip has 100 electrodes that pick up signals from trigger neurons in the motor cortex, an area on the outermost surface of the brain that governs hand movements. Those neural signals are sent over wires to a computer, where artificial intelligence algorithms decode the signal and infer the T5’s intended hand and finger movements. Algorithms were designed in Stanford’s Neural Prosthetic Translation Lab. T5 generated text at a rate of about 18 words per minute (the average person can say about 23 words per minute on a smartphone). Even, T5 then reached a record of 40 characters per minute. The study was published online May 12, 2021 in the journal Nature. It offers hope to hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions around the globe, who have lost the ability to use their upper limbs or speak due to spinal cord injury, stroke or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

USCentcom was established in 1983 and is one of the 11 armed forces’ command posts. USCentcom’s Area of ​​Responsibility (AOR) includes the Middle East, Egypt, Central Asia, and parts of South Asia. The USCentcom headquarters is not in its operational area, but within the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa (Florida), a new and 26,217 square meter building completed in the year. 2012. The new building will include key spaces for specialized tasks such as the Joint Command Operations Center, the General Planning and Operations Division, the Network Operations Center, and the Operations Center. operation safety information command. The new headquarters building also includes a 10,126 square meter (SCIF) Sensitive Zone Information Facility (SCIF), as well as sound transmission layered (STC) 45 and 50 spaces to support safe operations. . Relevant anti-terrorism standards include advanced collapse mitigation by force-bound means, which are also integrated into the new headquarters. Military communications equipment currently in use at USCentcom headquarters can also be seen in the 60 Minutes program, which shows footage taken in two large-scale operations rooms. small and large. In the large operation room there are sizable TV screens hung on the walls and several rows of work stations, each with 2 sets of communication devices, 1 for access to classified telephones, and computer networks, and other sets of equipment for networks that have not been classified. According to the US grading system color codes, the phone and smart card reader will have a green label for the unsorted Systems, and a red label for the Crypto Systems. Major operations / operations center at USCentcom headquarters. photo taken January 2021. Photo source: 60 Minutes. Some computers display a bright red lock screen with the words “Confidential” meaning only applicable for authorized purposes, and that means they are part of SIPRNet: the primary classified secure network of The US military is used for tactical and operational information. The US military’s unsecured unsecured computer network is also known as NIPRNet. Identification of users authorized to mine NIPRNet will be done through a Common Access Card (CAC), which is the standard of identification for active US defense personnel. Accessing the SIPRNET requires a SIPRNet token, which is also a smart tag but does not have a clear identification information. In addition to the NIPRNet and SIPRNet networks, USCentcom also has other separate computer networks for coordination with overseas partners. For members of bilateral and multinational alliances, the US has provided a network architecture called Integrated Enterprise Area Information Interchange Systems (Centrixs), which operates at a decentralized level. Type Confidential / Notified for (national identifier). The first Centrixs networks were established in late 2001 by USCentcom to support coalition activities within the framework of the Campaign for Sustainable Freedom (OEF). This has resulted in a new alliance called Centrixs-Isaf for operations in Afghanistan, and Centrixs-Gctf (Global Counterterrorism Forces). Meanwhile, both systems are integrated in the USCentcom Partner Network (CPN). General McKenzie’s communication device in his command room. Photo source: 60 Minutes. The Centrixs network consists of servers and provides users with at least the applications that will give them the same basic capabilities as US systems users, such as: Microsoft Office; Command and control personal computer (C2PC); Integrated imaging and intelligence (I3). These applications allow access to real-time warfare (NRT) commands from MIDB databases and image databases to display data on a map basis. They can also access other browser-based products, or send emails with attachments and conduct collaborative sessions. For US military users, the system is part of the Global Command and Control System (GCCS), which includes more than 200 tools and applications to combine data from multiple sensors. and intelligence sources intended to create a kind of graphic representation of battle spaces. There is also mention of the telephone systems used at USCentcom. The major operations / operations center at USCentcom headquarters also has a range of Cisco IP phones, the 7975, or more recently, 8841. The Cisco 8841 IP phone generation looks like a commercial phone, but in fact it is a modified version of the small-scale telecom security firm CIS Secure Computing Inc. These modified phones are authorized for use in SCIF (Sensitive Subdivision Information Base) and SAPF (Special Access Program Facilities) environments, and provide security features. plugin that can perform “hold” and “mute” operations while on a phone call. Personal control and command computer interface (C2PC). Communication equipment of the USCentcom commander The reporter met with General Frank McKenzie in a small room outside his main operations center at USCentcom headquarters. In this small room, Commander McKenzie had additional communications equipment that did not appear to be available to personnel at the large operations center. For example, the Cisco DX 70 video monitor with video camera is probably the Secure Video Remote Conferencing System (SVTS) which is part of the Crisis Management System (CMS) to enable the high level video meeting. There is also a Cisco IP 8841 phone with a special yellow border for highly secure operating networks through a secure IP, which is also part of the Crisis Management System (CMS) and connection to General system, National Security Council, Cabinet members, Joint Chiefs of Staff, various intelligence agency surveillance centers, headquarters, and Continuity of Operations (COOPs). ); Touch screen operator phone (TXP) with 2 units of Touch Screen Line Extension consisting of 50 buttons (TLE), this device is manufactured by small-scale telecom security firm Telecore, Inc. It also invented Integrated Service Phone (IST-2), which used to be on the Oval Office desk during the two generations of President Bush and Obama. These devices are specifically designed for the Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN), as well as provide conference, command, and control capabilities for top-secret / SCI military commanders. It was revealed in the 60 Minute Program that in that small room during the attack on the Al Asad base, Commander McKenzie spoke directly to the Secretary of Defense and the President. There are also two computer screens in General McKenzie’s small room. Right at the top of the desktop background is a yellow bar signifying JWICS. Unlike NIPRNet and SIPRNet networks, access to JWICS does not require a smart card, but a software certificate is required: military users must confirm themselves with the Department of Defense PKI certificate, but Others require IC PKI certificate. General McKenzie’s touchscreen phone. Photo source: 60 Minutes. A very interesting device in the USCentcom command room is the IC Desktop Environment. The phrase “Community Intelligence Community Desktop Environment” (IC DTE) was founded in 2012 as a single and identical platform for the US Intelligence Community. In fact, this is the focus of a giant modernization project called the Information Community Intelligence Technology Enterprise (IC ITE), whereby the data will be stored in a Commercial Cloud Service ( C2S) is managed by the CIA, and handled at IC GovCloud managed by the NSA. DTE deployments are managed by the Office of Joint Program Management (JPMO) led by DIA and NGA, while the software system is built by BAE Systems under a five-year contract worth $ 300 million. . With DTE, analysts at DIA, NGA, and other US intelligence agencies can go anywhere within these organizations, sit at any top secret workstation, log in, authenticate, and track. access to e-mail, work folders, shared files … In addition to virtual desktops, DTE has desktop applications and access to popular services including Unified Service Communication. The NSA is responsible for the so-called App Marketplaces, which are the app stores of various intelligence agencies. As early as 2014, there were 4,000 DTE users at DIA and NGA. By 2018, Mr. John Sherman, Chief Information Officer of the US Intelligence Community wants to take the DTE even further by creating the Collaborative Reference Architecture (CRA). Now US intelligence agencies can create applications that match their needs as long as they comply with the standards set by the CRA to ensure compatibility across different systems.

The woman holds the Guinness world record for childbirth On the official website of the Guinness World Records, Valentina Vassilyev is named the “most blessed” woman in the world with a large number of children she has never been able to surpass – 69 children after 27 times. pregnant. Two children, after being born, could not save their lives. The remaining 67 children were healthy and developed normally. According to the Metafloss, Feodor Vassilyev was a Russian farmer living in the 1700s. Her husband, Feodor Vassilyev, lives in Shuya, Russia. Valentina is his first wife. In the magazine Saint-Petersburg Panorama , in 1834, the author Bashutsky Alexander, mentioned the notes of the Nikolskiy monastery to the authorities in Moscow. Nikolskiy Monastery is responsible for recording information about births and reporting the situation as a way of keeping track of the population. According to records, in 1782, the monastery reported that Mr. Feodor – a 75-year-old farmer – had a total of 87 children with two wives. By the time of the record, 82 children are still living healthy. The phenomenon of childbirth of the Vassilyev family is controversial. Artwork: Getty Images. However, a lot of people are skeptical of this event. According to the History Daily The labor burden is the first thing that makes it hard for them to believe that a woman spends most of her time giving birth, especially in the Russian rural context centuries ago. Not to mention, ensuring physical conditions, eating and drinking activities for children is not necessarily possible. Also, the older a woman gets, the lower a woman’s chance of conceiving. Most women do not become pregnant by the time they turn 40. The rate of conception per cycle for a 45 year old woman is about 1% per month. Valerie Baker, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Stanford University School of Medicine, USA, said: “Pregnancy is the most difficult physical thing that every woman has to experience. Childbirth is a portal, each pregnancy is a dangerous time to the mother’s life. It entails many risks, dangerous complications such as hemorrhage, premature birth. With twins and triplets, this risk increases ”. Birth 3 and 4 are considered special because the rate of occurrence is not much. Artwork: USA Today. Find the truth The story of Valentina Vassilyev quickly attracted the curiosity of researchers. Many people are determined to find the truth. According to the History Dialy, New Zealander Marie M. Clay discovered a number of articles published in the 1800s about a woman giving birth to 69 children. They are gathered in the book Quadruplets and Higher Multiple Births , published in 1989. Marie admits the story of Vassilyev has many variations. However, historians all believe that much of what is recorded is true and that this mother gave birth to an unprecedented number of children. But the exact number of children Valentina has is remains a mystery. Journal Gentleman (in London, England), no. 753, p. 53, published in 1783, records of a letter about the Vassilyev family. The content of the letter mentioned that the large number of children in this family may come from the husband’s fullness. The writer confirmed this is true, verified by a British businessman, once traveling to St.Peterburg and learned that the Vassilyev family will meet the Queen of Russia. 1878, in the magazine The Lancet , The French Academy conducted the study, overturning the above event. They try to verify whether the large Vassilyev family is real. A member of the Royal Academy of St. Petersburg said this does not require re-verification because the Vassilyevs, living in Moscow, have received many favors from the government. Besides, it is reported that Ms. Valentina lived to be 76 years old. New Zealander Marie M. Clay and her book Quadruplets and Higher Multiple Births, published in 1989. Photo: Amazon. An average pregnancy takes 40 weeks. The more pregnant a woman has at the same time, the sooner she will go into labor. Based on the number of 69 children that the documents recorded, many scientists hypothesize that mothers in Russia must undergo a total of 27 births. Of these, 16 were twins, 7 triplets and 4 quadrants, between 1725 and 1765. Thus, 16 twins of Mrs. Valentina took 37 weeks, 7 triplets pregnant 32 week and 4 times of 30-week pregnancy. The total number of weeks for the 27 pregnancies was 936 weeks. Each year, for 52 weeks, Valentina takes 18 years to become pregnant. In theory, this is quite possible. Twins and triplets, birthing 4 can happen in two ways: Multiple eggs are ovulating at the same time successfully fertilized or a fertilized egg splits into several viable embryos, resulting in identical twins. each other, have the same genetic code. However, these cases are very rare in the world. Therefore, the fact that Valentina has had 16 twins is unbelievable, making this story still a controversial mystery.

A manuscript of the “Dead Sea Scroll” is displayed in Hong Kong. The analysis showed that the two scribes wrote in such a way that the difference between the two could not be seen with the naked eye, a detail that the note takers may have had the same training, yes can be at a school or in a social setting. “This is just the first step,” said lead investigator Mladen Popović, professor of the Hebrew Bible and ancient Judaism at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, said. new ability to study all of the scribes behind the “Dead Sea Scroll” and put us in a new position and better able to understand the manuscript collection. ” The “Dead Sea Scroll” was first discovered in the late 1940s, when a young shepherd searching for a stray goat found several manuscripts in a cave in Qumran, on the West Bank. Over the next decade, researchers and local Bedouins found more than 900 manuscripts in 11 caves. These manuscripts are the oldest surviving surviving texts of the Hebrew Bible, dating from the fourth century BC to the second century AD, but who is unknown or even how much. many wrote them, because the scribes did not sign them. That doesn’t stop Bible scholars from guessing how many people participated in writing the various drafts of the Dead Sea Scroll. Researchers will try to find clues in handwriting, such as a very specific feature in a letter that will identify the scribe. Popović, director of the Qumran Institute at the University of Groningen and his colleagues used a different approach: AI and statistics to investigate the Great Isaiah Scroll, one of seven original scroll manuscripts found. by the shepherd Bedouin. The well-preserved scroll, dating to about 125 BC, is 7.3 m long and 26 cm high and contains 54 columns of Hebrew text. In particular, a point caught Popović’s eye; Between columns 27 and 28, there is a small gap in the text and a new “page” where the two sheets have been stitched together. Other researchers have debated whether the scroll was written by one or two scribes, and Popović’s team wants to see if they can solve the mystery. In fact, the team wanted to determine whether slight differences in writing should be considered normal variations in one scribe’s handwriting or similar scripts written by two other scribes. each other or not. The researchers’ methods have uncovered subtle and nuanced differences in handwriting that we cannot discern with the naked eye, Popović said. The discovery of two collaborative notes in the Great Isaiah Scroll, he said, suggests that ancient scribes were working in groups. The ancients knew how to work in groups When designing the algorithm, researchers must train artificial intelligence to distinguish text, or ink, from the background – animal skin or papyrus. This difference, called binarization, was designed by co-researcher Maruf Dhali, a PhD student in the department of artificial intelligence at the University of Groningen, who created an artificial neural network. This neural network recorded early ink traces on the manuscript, even as these ancient letters were transformed into digital images. Senior researcher Lambert Schomaker, professor of computer science and artificial intelligence at the University of Groningen, said: “This is very important because ancient ink traces are directly related to the motor movement of one person and characterize each person ”. Neural network analysis revealed that 54 columns of text in the “Great Book of Isaiah” split into two separate groups, with a half-way transition in the manuscript. In this second analysis, Schomaker looked at small pieces, or sections of letters that would be more precise, distinctive, and informative to find a significant difference in shape compared to the symbols. full order. Next, the team performed a visual analysis by creating a “heat map”. These maps incorporate all variations of a given letter, such as the Hebrew letter aleph (א), found in the scroll. They then create an average version of the letter from the first 27 columns and another from the last 27 columns. They then compared these averaged letters and found that they could easily spot the difference between the two letters. Furthermore, the difference was statistically significant. Popović and his colleagues have other investigative plans, possibly revealing different backgrounds or training different scribes. These analyzes may also shed light on the communities that wrote the “Dead Sea Book”. This helps to better understand the so-called cultural evolution of the Hebrew Bible. The new research was published online April 21 in the journal PLOS One.

Tesla staff said that because they have not been able to contact Ms. Zhang herself, they sent the data email to the email address Ms. Zhang filled in when she bought the car.

At present, Tesla has provided the data one minute before the vehicle accident and made a text description.

The full text of the description is as follows:

When the driver stepped on the brake pedal for the last time, the data showed that the speed of the vehicle was 118.5 kilometers per hour. Within 2.7 seconds after the driver stepped on the brake pedal, the maximum brake master cylinder pressure was only 45.9 bar. After that, the driver increased the stepping on the brake pedal, and the brake master cylinder pressure reached 92.7 bar. The front collision warning and automatic emergency braking function were activated (the maximum brake master cylinder pressure reached 140.7bar) and played a role, reducing the amplitude of the collision. 1.8 seconds after the ABS was applied, the system recorded the occurrence of the collision. After the driver stepped on the brake pedal, the vehicle speed continued to decrease, and before the collision, the vehicle speed was reduced to 48.5 kilometers per hour.

The text description stated that the vehicle speed was high before the incident (close to 120km/h), and the AEB automatic brake assist system and the ABS anti-lock braking system were working normally.

In addition to the data recorded in the description, the Tesla staff also stated that within half an hour of the vehicle accident, the vehicle had more than 40 records of depressing the brake pedal, and the speed of the vehicle exceeded 100km/h and more. The situation of the second stop.

The relevant person in charge of Tesla said that he will unreservedly cooperate with the regulatory authorities to carry out in-depth investigations and openly accept social supervision.

AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine. Photo: AFP/TTXVN

According to the Ministry of Health, the man was injected with a vaccine produced at India’s Serum Institute. The patient has returned home and is in the process of recovering.

Earlier, Canada limited AstraZeneca’s vaccine use to people over the age of 55 due to concerns about the rare reaction. The above information is the latest challenge for vaccination in Canada.

In addition, Health Canada confirmed that it is in discussions with Johnson & Johnson about the possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine. The department has asked Johnson /Johnson for information on any cases of post-injection blood clots. The agency is also working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other international agencies on the issue.

Although Canada has licensed Johnson&Johnson’s vaccine, the vaccines ordered will not be shipped until the end of April. Canada is expected to get enough vaccines so that by the end of June, each citizen can get one shot. However, the rate of spread of the new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is surpassing the progress of vaccination in the country.

The number of new cases in the last week has increased by 33%, while the number of new daily infections is at more than 8,100, equivalent to the peak of the second wave of outbreaks earlier this year. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned more dangerous new variations were spreading rapidly and threatened progress had been made.

According to statistics worldometers.info, Canada has a total of over 1 million infections and over 23,000 deaths from COVID-19.

* Meanwhile, Australia announced that it will send Trade Minister Dan Tehan to Europe on April 15 amid reports that it has ordered more than 3 million doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine made in the European Union (EU) but has not received the goods.

Under the plan, Minister Tehan will have dialogues with his German, French and EU colleagues to discuss eu production and export limits on AstraZeneca’s vaccines.

Australia is one of the countries that succeeds in controlling the COVID-19 epidemic. Since the outbreak, the country has recorded nearly 30,000 cases. However, Australia is currently behind in its vaccination campaign. As of April 11, Australia had only vaccinated nearly 1.2 million people, despite a pledge by the end of March to vaccinate 4 million people.

The Australian government believes that the EU’s non-delivery of the vaccines it ordered by AstraZeneca was the cause of the delay in the vaccination program, but state authorities pointed out that the distribution of vaccines to health facilities also contributed to this situation.

Under pressure from public opinion, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he would convene a cabinet meeting twice a week with state and territory leaders until the issue was resolved and put the vaccination program back on track.

Australia intends to vaccinate the majority of the population with AstraZeneca’s vaccine, which has imports from Europe and domestic production, while waiting for supplies from Pfizer and Novavax. The Australian government recently admitted it may not meet its target for COVID-19 vaccination for all residents next October due to import delays and new concerns about vaccine side effects.

* In Ireland, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said the country is considering extending the vaccination period between Pfizer/BioNTech’s two doses to more than 4 weeks to maintain the vaccination progress, amid concerns that other vaccines such as AstraZeneca and Johnson /Johnson are being restricted from use due to safety risks.

In Russia, President Vladimir Putin confirmed he had given two shots against COVID-19. Speaking on television, Mr Putin expressed hope people would do the same to take care of themselves and their loved ones.

On March 23, President Putin received his first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Kremlin did not specify the type of vaccine the Russian President was vaccinated against, but insisted it was among three Russian-developed vaccines including Sputnik V, EpiVacCorona and CoviVac. In the interview, Mr Putin said he had suffered minor side effects such as muscle pain after his first injection but did not have a fever.
