Bitcoin plunged sharply on the morning of May 13 At 7 a.m. this morning, Bitcoin’s price on Coindesk was just over $ 47,000 / BTC, down $ 10,000 / BTC compared to last night. Meanwhile, on Coinmarketcap, Bitcoin also fell at a similar rate, to close to $ 49,000 / BTC. Thus, after peaking at $ 64,000 in mid-April 2021, Bitcoin never stopped going down and repeatedly broke the $ 50,000 / BTC mark. Along with Bitcoin, a series of other virtual currencies also turned red, the market capitalization decreased by more than 10%. Ethereum decreased by nearly 5%, BNB decreased 8.2%, XRP decreased 10%, BCH decreased 16%, LTC decreased nearly 15% … Some other virtual currencies even decreased 15-40%. Notably, Shiba Inu, a virtual currency “junk” is crazy about investors because the hot rise recently fell by nearly 35% in just half a day. The virtual money market fell vertically because yesterday, billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla announced “suspending the purchase of cars with Bitcoin” due to environmental concerns. Earlier in March, Elon Musk revealed that US customers can use bitcoin to pay for Tesla cars. “Tesla has suspended the purchase of cars with Bitcoin. We are concerned about the rapid increase in the use of fossil fuels to mine and trade Bitcoin, especially coal, the most polluting fuel. Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future. However, that cannot come at an environmental cost, “the billionaire explained. This billionaire unlike anyone has repeatedly made headlines in the virtual currency market by sudden decisions. However, he also asserted that Tesla did not sell any Bitcoin and intends to use it for trading as Bitcoin mining uses more sustainable energy. Yesterday, this tricky billionaire also gave a consultation on his personal Twitter page about whether Tesla should accept payments in dogecoin. The survey received millions of responses, of which the majority approved. The event comes just days after the billionaire revealed that SpaceX has accepted Dogecoin to pay for his lunar trips. Dogecoin virtual currency was “born” as a joke in 2013 by computer engineer Billy Markus and Adobe marketing expert Jackson Palmer suddenly got waves when billionaire Elon Musk invested and praised many times. on the personal page. However, the billionaire himself has repeatedly made statements to make this virtual currency “on elephants, down dogs”. Over the past 24 hours, Dogecoin has decreased in price by nearly 14%. From the beginning of the year until now, many banks, investment funds, and financial institutions announced to invest in bitcoin or accept payments in Bitcoin. However, with only a few individuals’ moves, this market still plunged without braking, this shows the great risk of this market. Even billionaire Elon Musk, while initiating and pioneering large corporations to invest in virtual money, said that people should not invest life savings in digital money because it is “not wise. good “. According to billionaire Musk, there is a possibility that digital money will become the main currency on earth, but no one knows what kind of currency it will be. Therefore, the investment in that time should be considered.

The process of making glass blowing through many stages. The first is the selection of raw materials, the glass fragments must ensure no stains and be classified according to different blue and white colors. The broken or worn glass pieces are then recycled by furnace and heated in a molten state. Glass can be machined in many ways such as blowing, pressing, pulling, rolling … but the popular machining method that has been applied for hundreds of years is still “blowing”. You must first “whip” molten glass into the end of a long iron tube, then put your mouth on the other end of the tube and blow. In this way, the glass at the other end bulges out. While blowing, the worker must shape and make the product of the appropriate thickness. In the glass forming steps, the blowing technique is the most important, the craftsman said. The worker must regulate his breath so that it is rhythmic and suitable for each product. Therefore, in addition to their health, skilled craftsmen also have to have breath-holding tricks to fit the desired shape. As the oldest person still working as a glassblower in Giap Long village (Thong Nhat commune), Mr. Ho Van Ginger shared: “With the naked eye, the worker has to estimate the maturity of glass to start blowing. At this time, the operation must be fast and continuous, without a break even for a second, because the glass out of the fire quickly cools, if stopped, it will be distorted immediately. ” According to him, in addition to perseverance, the blower needs to be careful when constantly exposed to fire above 1,200 degrees C, not only that, it also needs meticulousness and creativity to just skillfully adjust the breath. slightly, hands are rhythmic to create straight, patterned curves. Each glass factory has its own know-how in the brewing process. The appropriate incubation time and temperature for each product will determine the brightness and durability of the product. Finished product after the oven meets the requirements with transparent white, sharp and delicate lines. With the designs that require a lot of quantity, the finished product must reach the correct rate, all “hundred as one”. The process of making glass products consists of many stages that require meticulousness and ingenuity of the craftsman. Photo: Diem Quynh The first and most popular blown glass product was Philatop syringe, followed by other products such as oil bulb, thermos cap, drinking cup, seedlings. In the beginning, when there were no sources of raw materials, electricity and motors, the craftsman created and utilized other materials and craft tools to the glassblowing profession. Used fluorescent bulbs are used to take advantage of, wash off the lime inside and melt to blow. The forge furnace is used as a glass blowing bell, the gas pedal is below, the upper uses 6 wicks rolled together, continuously pumped kerosene to burn the fire up to a thousand degrees. The worker uses two concrete pieces to close the fire to a slot, the stronger the wind pedal, the bigger the fire, the heat is used for different types of glass such as alkaline, neutral, and resistant glass. high heat. When the glass was first put in the fire, it will turn green and burn to the point where it will turn white. The main glass products of the craft village today are test tubes, bulbs, bottles. Photo: Diem Quynh During the blowing process, workers must focus on observing when the glass is ripe and blowing, rotating hands to shape, in addition, it is necessary to twist, pull, and weld techniques. Different weak blow strength results in different products as well as the thickness of the glass. After finishing blowing, to avoid sudden shrinkage or breakage when storing boiling water (for glasses), it is necessary to incubate it for a few hours. After that, all products are covered with newspaper and carefully lined with straw so that the product is not broken or broken. In addition to household products, Thong Nhat craftsmen also blow shapes of animals such as deer, ba ba, fish, pine trees, 12 zodiacs, wind chimes … very sophisticated. At a time when the craft was developed, the animals were filled with colored water inside, which was favored by the market. At present, Giap Long, Hoang Xa and Thuong Giap villages of Thong Nhat commune still retain their jobs. However, each village has only a few households following the industrial way. In the years 1980 – 1990, glassblowing was an important job of the commune, making a mark with the famous Thong Nhat Glass Cooperative near and far.

In the slums more than 10 kilometers from Bucharest, Roman families specialize in making a living by burning rubbish for metal. The ingredients for burning are varied, from broken computers to electric cables. “I will sell them (after burning product) to metal buyers. We have to work one to two weeks to get a kilo of metal, ”said Mihai Bratu, a Roma person in the village of Sintesti, a suburb of Bucharest. Like many Roman communities across Romania, the slums of Sintesti have long been neglected by the authorities. This place now consists of temporary houses, spontaneous wire grids and trash. Octavian Berceanu, head of the Romanian Environmental Protection Agency, the pollution from the relentless burning scrap sites is becoming excessively serious. He began frequent raids in Roman living areas. He said that residents here can be considered “modern slaves” are under pressure of a mafia-style system. “This is a kind of slavery, because people here don’t have the opportunity to go to school, find jobs in the city, don’t have the basic infrastructure conditions like the official electricity network, clean water or roads. Sipunculus. This ruined their lives, ”said Octavian Berceanu. Mr. Berceanu repeatedly raided the Roman slums to stop burning rubbish for metal. It is illegal to burn garbage in spontaneous landfills. It has also resulted in heavy air pollution for the Bucharest metropolitan area. Police officers prevented a woman from entering an area where people used to burn trash. Romanian riot police are deployed in these raids to support environmental forces. A piece of computer components was seized by Romanian environmental forces in the raid. The doll’s head lies on the ground after a mid-April raid by Romanian environmental forces in Vidra. Romans, also known as Digans, are scattered in many European countries, especially in Eastern and Southern Europe. The poverty rate in this community is much higher than the general average. According to the Borgen Project, 90% of Romans in Romania live at or below the poverty line. Only one in five Roma children attend school. A Roma child playing with scrap copper pieces. “Everywhere in the world, the extremely poor have to rely on meager resources for their livelihoods. This has negative consequences: They have little education, poor facilities and development level is low, “Gelu Duminica, director of a non-governmental organization dedicated to helping the Romans, said. Duminica argues that the government’s targeting of Romans, rather than the large industries or more than a million cars in the capital, Bucharest, shows them as “sacrifices” as part of their marketing campaign Politicians.

Actual casualties are 2-5 times higher The second wave of Covid-19 in India quickly pushed the country into a total crisis, overloading hospitals, depleting oxygen supplies, desperate lines of people not being treated by doctors and there is evidence that the actual death toll is much higher than officially reported, according to the New York Times. Every day the Government of India records more than tens of thousands of new infections – a world record high – more new cases than any other country to date. However, experts say those numbers, no matter how staggering, represent only a small fraction of the true spread of the pandemic that puts the country in a state of emergency. Millions of people dare not even step out the door for fear of spreading the disease. Indian people mourn in front of a cremation site. Photo: NYT The sudden increase in new infections in recent weeks, with a newer variant, is raising suspicions about the actual number of deaths from India’s Covid-19 – currently reported to be 200,000. , with more than 2,000 people dying every day. Investigations from cremation facilities across the country revealed a large number of deaths from Covid-19 far exceeding the official figure. According to analysts, politicians and hospital managers can reduce this number. “It was a complete data massacre,” said Bhramar Mukherjee, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan who has followed India closely. “From all the models we have done, we believe that the actual death toll is 2 to 5 times what is reported.” At one of the major cremation sites in Ahmedabad, a city in the state of Gujarat, western India, flames blazed through the night sky, burning 24 hours a day, like an industrial factory never. Turn off. On April 24, Indian officials reported nearly 350,000 new infections, while the number of deaths continued to increase. At a hospital in New Delhi, doctors said 20 patients in critical condition died after oxygen pressure dropped. Doctors claim that severe oxygen scarcity is the cause of the soaring death toll. In Bhopal, a large city in central India, where the disaster of gas leaks in the 1980s caused thousands of deaths, residents said this was the “busiest” time in cremation zones. since that disaster. Over the course of 13 days in mid-April, Bhopal officials reported 41 deaths related to Covid-19. But a survey by the New York Times found the number of deaths at the same time to more than 1,000. A similar phenomenon took place in Lucknow and Mirzapur – major cities in the state of Uttar Pradesh – and across Gujarat, during the same time period, authorities reported between 73 and 121 Covid-related deaths. -19 per day. But detailed figures compiled by one of Gujarat’s leading newspapers – Sandesh – indicate that the number is many times higher, around 610 people per day. What’s happening in India? Months ago, India appeared to have effective epidemic control. After the stern blockade orders that prevented the first outbreak from being eased, India no longer recorded a large number of cases. Officials and citizens have begun to be subjective and act as if the worst days are over. Now, countless Indians have been forced to go to social media to send an emergency (SOS) calling to give them bed, medicine or “some oxygen to breathe”. At the same time, India’s Covid-19 vaccine campaign is also facing difficulties. Less than 10% of Indians have received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, even though the country is the world’s leading producer of the vaccine. Severe Indian needs have had a ripple effect around the world, especially in poorer countries. The country had planned to export millions of doses of vaccine but so far this has stopped completely due to severe shortage of vaccines in the country. This also affects when some countries have to divert imports from other countries Doctors are concerned, this terrible wave originated from the emergence of a virus variant “double mutation” – B.1.617. This variant contains genetic mutations found in two other uncontrolled versions of the SARS-CoV2 virus. One of the mutations included in the highly contagious variant was the cause of California (USA) struggles earlier this year. The other mutation is similar to the one found in South Africa and is thought to make the virus more resistant to the vaccine. However, scientists warn that it is too early to know for certain how dangerous the new variant emerging in India is. The results can be worst when combined with the ability to spread faster and more difficult to control. This is worrying scientists across the globe as high-rate vaccinated countries are easing and starting to be subjective. Because of the failures in India, Brazil and elsewhere that there is a risk that the virus could mutate to “beat” existing vaccines.

Coming to Dong Lai Zen Monastery (Tinh Bien town, Tinh Bien district, An Giang province), Buddhists are always served vegetarian pancakes free of charge. At this monastery, the kitchen is almost unceasingly red with fire. To meet the needs of visitors from all over the world, 10 craftsmen take turns pouring pancakes from morning to evening. Everyday, there are 1,000-2,000 people going to the monastery, and on holidays or weekends the number of people can reach 5,000-10,000. In the kitchen, the monastery arranged 3 trusses. The bakers are professional and skilled when pouring 10 pans without burning. The kitchens here are all local people, working voluntarily. Just sitting for nearly an hour, Mr. Dao Quoc Han (53 years old, in Phu Xuan hamlet, Tinh Bien town) said that he had worked here for more than 10 years. Everyday, he works as a hired helper for his family. In his spare time, he goes to the monastery to pour pancakes for the Buddhists. According to Mr. Han, sitting around 10 very hot furnaces, if you do not have health, it will be difficult to do. To pour 10 pans at the same time do not burn requires the worker to do it continuously. Mr. Ho Van Nhan, another pancake maker, said that in 1999, when Buddhists came here to make offerings, the teachers thought of making vegetarian pancakes to entertain guests. At first doing little, but gradually finding it delicious and being supported by many people; Since then, the monastery has maintained and made pancakes more and more. A vegetarian pancake Thanks to the free banh xeo activity serving visitors from afar, this monastery is becoming more and more popular and popular. Guests want to enjoy the cake, just hold a plate lined up around the pan rings, the chef will bring the cake from the hot pan and bring it to the spacious and cool dining area to enjoy. Visitors enjoy the pancake Pancakes are made from rice flour, coconut water, tofu, green beans, served with classic cotton and forbidden mountain vegetables. From the usual vegetarian ingredients found in many places, the chef of Dong Lai Zen Monastery has created a delicious and delicious cake. Residents volunteered to split firewood to help the monastery to maintain the furnace for making banh xeo.

“We have to race against time, work at 100% capacity to cremate bodies in time,” said Kamlesh Sailor, president of the organization that operates a cremation facility in Surat City, Gujarat state. Data from cremation facilities, media to the government show that the number of people buried or cremated by major cities is much greater than the number of Covid-19 deaths recorded by the authorities. official health announcement, according to Reuters . The difference in the number of deaths Reliable data is central to every nation’s anti-pandemic efforts, experts say. Without reliable data, such as vaccine preparation and medical essentials supply are extremely difficult. On April 19, India recorded 273,810 new infections, along with 1,619 deaths. The total number of Covid-19 cases in India is now more than 15 million, ranking second only to the United States. But it is more likely that the above statistic is much lower than what is actually happening. The bodies are cremated according to Covid-19 defense regulations in India. Photo: Sentinel. Indian authorities say the discrepancy in death data could be caused by a variety of reasons. Many corpses are cremated according to the Covid-19 prevention “even if there is only a 0.1% chance that the person is positive for the virus,” said a health official. “There are many cases where patients are hospitalized in a very critical condition and die before being tested. There are cases where patients died prior to admission, we don’t know if they have Covid-19 or not”, the official said to be anonymous. There are many areas in India where reliable data cannot be collected, said Bhramar Mukherjee, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Michigan. “Things are messed up, I feel like no one understood the situation,” Mr. Mukherjee said. Surat is the second largest city in the state of Gujarat. At the cremation facilities Kurukshetra and Umra, more than 100 bodies are cremated every day according to Covid-19 regulations. This figure is four times higher than the official statistics of the number of people dying from Covid-19. Prashant Kabrawala, representative of the Narayan Trust, which runs the Ashwinikumar cremation facility, refused to provide the number of bodies cremated under anti-epidemic regulations. However, he says the number of cremations has tripled in recent weeks. “I’ve never seen so many cremated bodies over the years,” Kabrawala said. An Indian government spokesman in Gujarat declined to comment ahead of the difference in the number of deaths and cremations associated with the epidemic. India is not the only country where corona virus statistics have been questioned. But scientific literature and cremation staff testimony show that the disparity in officially reported deaths in India is much higher than in other countries. Professor Mukherjee’s study against the first wave of epidemics in India showed that the number of viral infections is 11 times more than officially reported, which is similar to research in other countries. However, the difference in officially reported deaths ranges from 2-5 times, much higher than the global average. The incinerator burned non-stop In Lucknow, the state capital of Uttar Pradesh, data from the largest cremation facility called Baikunthdham, which only processed the bodies of Covid-19 patients, showed that the number of bodies brought in was twice as high. The death of corona virus is reported by the government. That’s not to mention data from other cremation facilities, or cases of the Muslim customary burial – the community that makes up a quarter of Lucknow’s population. Azad, the Baikunthdham facility manager, said the number of bodies cremated under anti-epidemic regulations has increased fivefold in recent weeks. “We work day and night. The furnace is burning red continuously, but many bodies still have to line up,” Azad said. The state government of Uttar Pradesh declined to respond to a request for comment on Covid-19 death data. Cremations many times greater than the number of Covid-19 deaths have also been reported in many other parts of India. Cremation facility staff in New Delhi are exhausted from a work shift. Photo: QZ. In Bhopal, the state capital of Madhya Pradesh, it was recorded during 4 days of April that 187 bodies had been cremated according to anti-epidemic regulations. However, the number of corona virus deaths officially announced by the authorities is only 5. Last week, the sheet Sandesh 63 bodies were reported to a hospital for Covid-19 patients only in the city of Ahmedabad. However, that same day, the city authorities only counted 20 people died from the corona virus. Medical Journal Lancet says less than 25% of all deaths in India are confirmed medically, meaning that the exact number of deaths from Covid-19 in many regions cannot be determined. “Most of the deaths are not reported, so it is impossible to have a reliable calculation,” said Professor Mukherjee.
