The Philippines is famous for its beautiful islands and beaches. The proposal came after a task force on infectious diseases in the Philippines asked stakeholders to learn about the process of receiving international guests who have received the Covid-19 vaccine. If the “green corridor” is approved, eligible international visitors will be allowed to enter the Philippines for tourism and resort purposes, in the context of quarantine rules being relaxed in many other countries. DOT is monitoring neighboring markets on how to reopen international travel. Specifically, for fully vaccinated people, the quarantine period will be reduced from 10 days to 7 days in Thailand, or from 21 days to 7 days in Hong Kong (China). Meanwhile, the Philippines is requiring travelers to quarantine for 10 days and 4 days at home, along with an RT-PCR test on the seventh day of isolation. “We must catch up with our neighbors and the rest of the world in gradually reopening tourist attractions. The Philippines should be ready, before international tourism in the world resumes,” Ms. Bernadette said. Romulo-Puyat added.

Selena Gomez admits she was influenced by Taylor Swift’s fashion style. “Honestly, when I was young, Taylor Swit inspired me a lot, both in stage costumes as well as in casual clothes,” Selena Gomez replied. Vogue . The period she was most influenced by was when she was 18-19 years old when she released the MV “Love You Like A Love Song”. However, looking back at the fashion style of this period, Gomez insists she will never wear, or wear again, the jewelry influenced by Swift. In addition, the singer born in 1992 also revealed that she used to sew costumes inspired by Britney Spears. Specifically, the stone-embellished jumpsuit Selena Gomez wore in the opening act of the Revival tour in 2016 was sewn based on the outfit Spears wore in the MV. Toxic . Of course, Selena Gomez’s outfit is more discreet and easy to move. She said that to this day, she still keeps the above outfit in the wardrobe. “Do I ever try to dress up again and try to sing? Sometimes,” Gomez replies in the video of Vogue . In the video, the singer also recalls some of the most impressive outfits of her career. Gomez mentioned the dress she wore at the 2015 Met Gala. According to Gomez’s description, the dress from the brand Vera Wang hugged her body, helping her show off her curves and prove herself to be an adult. “My weight fluctuates constantly, to be honest I am not satisfied with my body. But it’s amazing how I fit that dress. I was confident and posed beautifully on the red carpet,” the female singer recounted. The singer sews a jumpsuit-inspired outfit in Britney Spears’ Toxic MV.

Summer has arrived but luxury yachts anchored in deep-water ports are sparse, elite parties have yet to begin, music festivals are banned, bars remain closed. However, behind that bleak landscape is a whole plan to revive the tourism industry that has begun to spread across the island. In the labyrinthine alleys of the main town, street painters are painstakingly painting the walls. They hope that in the next few weeks or months, their work will be flooded with check-in photos on Instagram. Greece is launching a campaign called Blue Freedom on 80 islands with the desire to rebuild the smokeless industry amid the pandemic. The campaign started with a plan to vaccinate against Covid-19 for all people on the islands. Mykonos struggles to revive tourism. “Heaven” hides Greece’s post-Covid-19 economic recovery plans rely heavily on the tourism industry. This industry accounts for 18% of the economy and provides one-fifth of job opportunities for workers. Tourism also helped Greeks get out of a 10-year financial crisis that ended just before the outbreak of Covid-19. Last year, the country welcomed less than a third of 2019’s tourist arrivals, according to the UNWTO World Tourism Organization. Mykonos belongs to the Cyclades group of islands and is the most famous destination in Greece. Before the pandemic, this place was known as a “party paradise” for the super rich and famous. From former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to female stars such as Grace Kelly (USA), Brigitte Bardot (France), Sophia Loren (Italy)… all have visited Mykonos. Mayor Konstantinos Koukas said: “The people of Mykonos were shocked when the number of tourists dropped sharply last year. But this year there are signs that the number of visitors may double compared to 2020.” Before the pandemic, the island of Mykonos was famous for its bustling nightlife. Compared to some other Mediterranean countries that also depend on tourism, Greece is said to be working hard to revive the smokeless industry. At the beginning of April, as the world faced a new wave of epidemics, the country reopened to most tourists. It is the second EU country, after Croatia, to allow Americans to come in without quarantine. According to the CNN , Americans are the most generous travelers in the Mediterranean country. The US ambassador to Greece, Geoffrey Pyatt, recently praised the “record nine direct flights per day by US airlines to Greece this summer”. With dozens of fully vaccinated islands and long coastlines, Greece promises to become a “shelter paradise” in the middle of the epidemic season. However, things in Mykonos seem more complicated. This party island is unlike any other idyllic destination. Mykonos’ brand and sales are shaped by its bustling nightlife, a business that’s not easy to bounce back from during the pandemic. Magic formula Although the US State Department recently added Greece to its long list of “Level 4: Do Not Travel” countries, the promise of a Covid-19-free Mykonos has attracted the interest of travelers worldwide. demand, especially from the US. Iraklis Zisimopoulos, CEO of the Semeli Hospitality Group hotel, restaurant and bar chain on the island, said his company has received a lot of inquiries and booking requests recently. “The two main questions are the vaccination plan and whether tourists will be able to party on the island like they used to. We told them that in July things will probably be back to normal as they were. There’s never been a pandemic.” Zisimopoulos describes the vaccine as a “miracle recipe for a return to nightlife”. Greece hopes a nationwide vaccination plan will help revive Mykonos. Global reopening plans remain flexible, depending on the policies of each country. The new variant of SARS-CoV-2 is a constant worry. Some countries continue to ban their citizens from traveling abroad. Travelers may be forced to quarantine after returning home. However, in Mykonos, the first large yachts of this summer have arrived. At the trendy Alemagou Beach bar, German booze is ready again. After months of lockdown, a visitor from Hamburg (Germany) said that she and her friends were finally reunited in Mykonos and it felt like a dream. “Last year, we were not vaccinated. But this year, we became the first to get vaccinated and travel. We want to show people that they can have a good time and be safe here,” she said.

While most Apple users are focused on the newly announced iOS 15, young developer Zane Kleinberg has reworked iOS 4 – which Apple released in 2010 with the iPhone 3G – from the ground up as a standalone app. He calls it OldOS and you can try it out now. “What I created with OldOS is iOS 4 beautifully rebuilt in SwiftUI,” developer told Cult of Mac. “In essence, an app is something like an emulator or perhaps, a second operating system inside an app on your phone. It’s really designed to be a near-working, near-pixel-perfect re-creation of iOS 4.” The fourth version of Apple’s mobile operating system – and the first to be called “iOS” instead of “iPhone OS” – iOS 4 brought notable updates in 2010. It introduced new features. Home screen folder, support for adding custom backgrounds, system-wide spell checker integration and much more. Kleinberg sums up iOS 4 in one word: nostalgia. iOS 4 looks a bit dated these days – as a reminder of how far iOS has come over the past decade. But if you think iOS 4 brings a sense of nostalgia to you, it seems a lot more ancient for 18-year-old Kleinberg. He was 7 years old when it came out. “My first experience with any form of modern mobile technology was iOS 4,” New York-based developer said. “It’s hard to say how special this software holds in my heart. That’s what first introduced me to my passion for app development and technology. I think we all enjoy clinging to a select few childhood memories, and a lot of my memories include this operating system.” iOS 4 running on iPhone 12 A few years after the release of iOS 4, Kleinberg – then in 4th grade – created a homework tracker as the first app on the App Store. Even though that app was no longer available, he didn’t mind. He chose Computer Science when he took the university entrance exam at the end of this year. Zane Kleinberg Kleinberg created OldOS using a combination of legacy assets like icons and other things he had to design himself. He said he’s tried to recreate most of the iOS 4 apps. However, some apps – like Mail, Calendar, YouTube, and Messages – still have “big problems” he’s working on. Apps vary in functionality, with some functioning more fully than others. For example, the Calculator app can do calculations, but the Messages app (which is still active) only shows notifications and the UI. In other words, OldOS is more of an interactive museum than a fully functional operating system. “For months, I had an iPhone 4 running iOS 4 on my desk and used the apps one by one, trying to figure out how Apple designed them, ” I said. “ Since I’m pretty well versed in reverse engineering, I’ll decompile the application binaries and try to see, from a more technical perspective, how Apple built its app. I also found the iOS 4 UI Kits, and was able to put them in Photoshop and have a look.” Other parts of Kleinberg’s OldOS project require different methods. “For apps like Stocks and Weather, which no longer work, I watched YouTube videos, trying to reason as much as I could about the design,” I said. “ It’s just a continuous process of looking at different pieces of stuff over and over, then trying to build it in SwiftUI, and then iterating until I’m happy with that UI element.” Unfortunately, you shouldn’t expect to find this app in the App Store. Kleinberg believes that Apple will not accept the free use of assets owned by Apple. Apple enforces strict guidelines about showcasing its products in apps. “This whole project is a testament to the extraordinary work of the Apple team both past and present,” said Kleinberg. “I just hope this project can convince them to re-evaluate their policies even a little bit.” For those who want to try OldOS, Kleinberg says it can be downloaded from TestFlight, Apple’s developer service for beta-testing apps. Or they can check out his OldOS project on Github.

Representatives of the Cambodian government and a Japanese company are considering the feasibility of establishing an investment partnership mechanism to develop a cannabis production and export project. Accordingly, cannabis will be grown in Cambodia for export to the US and Japan. Cambodia is studying the possibility of growing cannabis for export to the US and Japan. Photo: Khmer Times. Yamato Green said cannabis is considered a medicinal herb in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. The Japanese company affirmed that many businesses are very interested in the potential of investing in this field in Cambodia. Seedlings will be brought from the US to the Southeast Asian country for large-scale production if licensed by the Cambodian government. Yamato Green also added, currently Thailand and Korea have also licensed the production, processing and export of cannabis to the US and Japan on the basis of technical and technology contracts. “We believe that agriculture and food processing are essential to revitalizing Cambodia’s economy and creating hope for society,” the Japanese company said. Yamato Green claims to create an agricultural system “of the future”, to help develop Cambodia’s agriculture with higher productivity, and to promote its products to the world.

How do jellyfish form? Ms. Miranda Lowe, curator of the Natural History Museum, in London, England, said the life cycle of most jellyfish species is similar. As hermaphrodites, jellyfish have two gonads, male and female, located in the longitudinal gastric tube symmetrically across the gastric plane. Normally, a jellyfish goes through five stages in its life. First, the adult jellyfish will “lay” eggs and sperm into the water. These two cells combine to form a fertilized egg in water. The fertilized egg develops into a small larva, called a planula. It looks like a microscopic worm and can move freely through the water. The planula will look for a solid surface, such as the seabed, for shelter. During this time, it will develop a digestive system and be able to feed itself. Thanks to the right water and temperature conditions, the planula will turn into a polyp. Polyps sprout, multiplying themselves into large clumps that look like giant bushes. When the right conditions are met, the polyps release into many young jellyfish. After the jellyfish is produced, the polyp changes to a younger polyp form. Young jellyfish continue to grow into adults. Despite their unique beginnings, most jellyfish have a short life span, usually from a few hours to several months. Some species can live for several years. However, the immortal jellyfish (scientific name: Turritopsis Dohrnii) is outside this rule. The secret of “tricking” Death The Immortal Jellyfish is a jellyfish-like waterfowl, of the phylum Cnidaria, commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea or the Sea of ​​Japan. It is shaped like a bell, with a diameter of about 4.5mm. The membrane of this jellyfish is quite thin, except for a little thick at the top. Their stomachs are relatively large, bright red in color. Young jellyfish are 1mm in diameter and have only 8 tentacles evenly spaced along the edge, while adults have 80-90 tentacles. Immortal jellyfish can reverse their life cycle when injured or starving to death. This means they could theoretically last forever. When physically damaged or under stress from starvation, the adult immortal jellyfish will transform the body’s tissues and circulatory system back to a polyp state. Because of the loss of tentacles and the ability to swim, polyps again settle to the sea floor. Over the next 24 – 36 hours, this polyp will develop into a new polyp, located in the early stages of the jellyfish. Then gradually, this polyp will hatch into a jellyfish. This phenomenon is compared to the life cycle of a butterfly. Instead of dying, the butterfly can transform back into a caterpillar and then from the cocoon, it will spread its wings again. The process behind the “rebirth” of the immortal jellyfish is a process of differentiated transformation, which is extremely rare in animals. According to research by scientists, cells in adult jellyfish and cells in polyps are different. The process of adult jellyfish shrinking into polyps allows it to form a new body, different from its original form. But the new adult jellyfish and the old jellyfish are genetically identical. Reversing the life cycle can be repetitive. In perfect habitat conditions, immortal jellyfish will never die of old age. Ms. Miranda commented: ‘We can be too focused on the large jellyfish. But little animals like this can provide a lot of great science about jellyfish and the natural world.” Diagram of the life cycle of a jellyfish. Faint existence Scientists think that the immortal jellyfish likely existed in the oceans long before the dinosaurs went extinct about 66 million years ago. But research on this animal only began in the 1980s. Immortal jellyfish were first discovered by scientists in 1883, but it was not until 100 years later, in 1980, that people accidentally discovered their immortality. University students Christian Sommer and Giorgio Bavestrello collected polyps from immortal jellyfish and watched them until the polyps turned into jellyfish. As immortal jellyfish mature, they assume that they must reproduce before they die. But unlike other species, they quickly turn back into polyps and settle to the bottom of the tank. Through observation, the two students realized that when under stress, this jellyfish would fall to the bottom of the tank and transform without fertilization or becoming a planula. This discovery led scientists to name the jellyfish Turritopsis Dohrnii the immortal jellyfish. However, not always immortal jellyfish can “fool” Death. They are the prey of many other animals such as sharks and turtles. The polyps of the immortal jellyfish are also defenseless against the pursuit of sea slugs or crustaceans. It is difficult to find out how long the immortal jellyfish can live. Immortal jellyfish are very sensitive, so laboratory studies are also fraught with challenges. Despite the difficulties, Mr. Shin Kubota, a Japanese scientist, has been raising immortal jellyfish since the 1990s. He commented that taking care of them is very time-consuming. Every day, he has to monitor the water temperature, the ambient temperature, the salinity of the water. The species’ favorite food is shrimp eggs, which must also be crushed. Kubota’s research shows that, in about two years in captivity, the immortal jellyfish have “rejuvenated” about 10 times. This jellyfish has a relatively secretive lifestyle, so their development is difficult to detect. Small size, translucent color, so immortal jellyfish are hard to see with the naked eye. Another reason the immortal jellyfish’s existence is overshadowed is that their existence does not have a negative impact on the environment. Also, in the treasure of human knowledge, the immortal jellyfish is still a mystery to be discovered in the future.

Shakyamuni Buddha… … and Maitreya Buddha Palace are two of the three large palaces at Quynh Lam Pagoda. Quynh Lam Pagoda is said to have a history of construction from the Ly Dynasty and major restorations in the Tran, Le, and Nguyen dynasties. The stele “Reconstruction and reconstruction of the first Tien Du Son Quynh Lam Pagoda” in front of the present three-door gate shows the history of thousands of years of the pagoda. This stele is 2.46m high, 1.53m wide and 0.25m thick, originally erected in the Ly Dynasty, in the Le Trung Hung period, when the temple was restored, part of the motifs and all illustrations were removed. text of this stele for engraving. This is one of the largest steles of the Ly dynasty still in Quang Ninh. Over time, rain, sun, war, the pagoda became ruins in the mid-twentieth century. The temple has just been restored today and is now one of the largest wooden pagodas in the northern region, built from more than 1,500m3 of ironwood. The magnificence and magnificence of Quynh Pagoda is reflected in the complex of 3 large electric buildings with a total area of ​​more than 1,000m2, rebuilt on the foundation of the old pagoda, with traditional materials, with continuity, selected filter. The Emerald Buddha statue is the highlight of the Luu Ly Buddha Palace of Quynh Lam Pagoda. The outermost large hall is the Shakyamuni Buddha Hall, in addition to many large wooden pillars, there are also two very precious jade wooden columns with a diameter of more than 100cm, with a very pleasant characteristic natural fragrance. The Maitreya Buddha Hall is located in the middle, worshiping the Three Worlds Buddhas. The Buddha Hall of Peace is located at the back. The highlight here is the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni weighing about 3.5 tons, 2.2m high, which was provided by Vingroup with a value of about 20 billion VND. The ancient Quynh Lam pagoda, besides the statue of Maitreya, which is considered the Annam of the Four Great Airs, is also very famous for its steeple. This work is newly built on the old foundation site, with ironwood structural frame. In particular, the large bronze bell hanging here is 200 years old, cast during the restoration and embellishment of the pagoda during the Nguyen Dynasty. The bell of Quynh Lam pagoda was cast from the Nguyen Dynasty. Attached to a long history, Quynh Lam Pagoda saves the names and merits of many monks through the tomb towers still scattered in the temple garden. Especially among them is the ancient stupa built by Zen Master Phap Loa – the second ancestor of the Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen sect, to house the remains of Emperor Tran Nhan Tong and Tue posted the tower as the tomb of Zen. Monk Chan Nguyen, who had great merit in restoring the pagoda under Le Trung Hung. This is also the largest tower still in the tower garden. The stone footings and steps are the architectural relics of the ancient Quynh Lam pagoda. In the past, there was a saying “Muong pagoda yard, Quynh pagoda field” referring to the vast wealth and land of the pagoda. Now, although the area is no longer like that, Quynh Pagoda still has a very spacious campus with many kinds of shady trees. Around the temple garden, visitors can see the remaining ancient relics of the temple, giving visitors more emotions. Most of them are the footstones and stone steps from the Ly, Tran and Le dynasties, in which there are two stone mortars that are part of the nine products of lotus flowers in Quynh Lam and a very large lotus platform in the Le Trung period. hung… Quynh Lam from the past and present, no matter what time it is, is still a scenic spot in the East, bringing a special experience to visitors every time they come back.

Waking up in the arms of water Your shoulder is smooth and clear Disappeared in waves again… *** He calmly clung to the grass Call me in the open sky And the night just melted away too quickly. *** Can’t hear my voice Only the sound of lilies can be heard But I believe you heard. *** I heard So the stump just watered so quickly absorbed The dew-drenched phoenix dome was on fire this morning The dried field corns rattled. *** Plunge into the ground with thirsty toes The new leaf that emerges resets the lyrics The fire was burning in the quiet space From the feeling that has just fallen and broken. Comments Close your eyes and hear, in the stillness of your thoughts, the echo of the dried corn that has just hit the ground, breaking out into the sound of summer. The poem is an echo that awakens the sky, awakens the morning, awakens the fire in the dew-drenched phoenix cluster. Close your eyes and see, in your imagination, the smooth and soft image of water, fluttering next to a lotus flower, a lotus leaf, a gentle and shy shoulder. The poem is a flash of light that reveals secret images. Close your eyes and feel, a waiting in the thirsty earth, a new song in the sprouting leaves, a turning towards the light. The night is over, the old feelings are gone. Clinging to the grass, looking up at the wide sky and calling out, I know you heard, a new life begins.

Elephants and giraffes inhabit Hwange National Park. Photo: Reuters According to the United Nations Commission on Biological Diversity, Earth’s ecosystems – the foundation of life – are being degraded at an unprecedented rate. Biodiversity provides 18 basic services globally to sustain human activities and development. However, these 14/18 contributions of nature are on a global downward trend. In addition, the rate of forest cover has decreased from 31.6% to 30.6% in the period 1990-2015. Coral reef ecosystems have the highest decline in survival index, between 1970 and 2015 it has decreased by 35% to 25% of the studied species are threatened with extinction. About 7 million other species of animals and plants are also at risk of “disappearing” due to human impacts. Meanwhile, the consumption of wild animals and habitat destruction have made infectious diseases more likely to spread to humans. The weaker the “health” of the ecosystem, the more fragile the immune “wall” between humans and pathogens. Without a change in the way people treat nature, future pandemics will occur frequently, cost many lives and severely impact the global economy. The severity is much greater than what the COVID-19 pandemic has caused to the world today. The loss of biodiversity and climate change have been threatening the progress of global sustainable development. According to the United Nations, the livelihoods of more than 3 billion people around the world depend on marine and coastal biodiversity, while 1.6 billion people make a living from forests. Therefore, the conservation of species on Earth is no longer in the framework of “altruism” but plays an important role in ensuring human life. In a statement kicking off the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the Earth was approaching a “point of no return” of deforestation, pollution of rivers and oceans. ocean, plowed lawns… seem to have fallen into oblivion. He stated: “We are destroying the very ecosystems that are the foundation of society. The degradation of the natural world is destroying the very food, water and resources needed for humans and other living things. animals exist, as well as the lives of 3.2 billion people – or 40% of the world’s population.” In 2010, in the city of Nagoya (Aichi Prefecture, Japan), about 190 countries participating in the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity adopted an ambitious 2020 action strategy to reduce pressure from society. human society towards the natural world, conservation of biodiversity. Within the framework of this convention, countries have set 20 goals on biodiversity by 2020 to conserve biodiversity and restore ecosystems globally. The decisions of the 12th, 13th and 14th stakeholder meetings of the Convention on Biological Diversity all called for the parties to the convention to develop and adopt ecosystem restoration plans. Some of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development goals are related to ecosystem restoration that require urgent global action if they are to be achieved. The Ramsar Convention’s Strategic Plan 2016-2024 also includes goals for wetland ecosystem restoration to conserve biodiversity and adapt to climate change. However, as ecosystems continue to degrade rapidly, marine ecosystems, from coastal to deep sea, are currently suffering the heaviest losses in history due to human activities. In a study published in the journal Frontiers in Forest and Global Change, scientists found that only 3% of the world’s land area (excluding Antarctica) is still ecologically intact, with populations of healthy primitive animal body and undisturbed habitat. Global natural biodiversity is severely reduced by modern farming techniques; deforestation; habitat destruction in marshlands and in the ocean… The report of the Intergovernmental Forum on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services also indicates that the global rate of species extinction has increased at least tens to hundreds of times higher than the average rate. over the past 10 million years and continues to grow rapidly. It is estimated that about 7 million species are at risk of extinction in the next 30 years; 3/4 of the world’s bird species are endangered; A quarter of mammals are likely to disappear from the Earth. Great Barrier Reef on Orpheus Island, Australia. Photo: AFP/VNA On the other hand, the Aichi goals by 2020 are almost all unattainable. Of the 20 Aichi goals, only 4 have a high probability of achieving, the remaining goals are rated as low or unattainable. This report, together with the Convention on Biological Diversity, highlights the need for the world to take urgent efforts now and take effective action to stop the serious ecological degradation that is taking place. The United Nations has designated 2021-2030 as the decade of ecosystem restoration based on proposals from more than 70 countries, with the goal of accelerating worldwide efforts to prevent and reverse the degradation of ecosystems. ecosystems and raise awareness of the importance of ecosystems to human life. The United Nations emphasized that the restoration and conservation of ecosystems make an important contribution to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Multicultural Framework. global biodiversity. The UN recommends that countries strengthen political will, mobilize resources, improve capacity in scientific research, and cooperate internationally to create driving force for ecosystem restoration at national, regional and international levels. local; mainstreaming ecosystem restoration into national development policies and plans, thereby creating opportunities for ecosystems to increase their resilience and the opportunity to maintain and improve livelihoods for all. people. Countries develop and implement policies and plans to prevent ecosystem degradation, in accordance with national laws and priorities, and develop and strengthen initiatives to enhance recovery effectiveness. Ecosystem; create conditions for synergies and consensus on an overall view to achieve national commitments and priorities through ecosystem restoration; promote sharing of experiences and good practices in ecosystem conservation and restoration. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized: “Fortunately, the Earth is resilient and we still have time to reverse the damage we have caused. By restoring ecosystems with the With unprecedented efforts to heal the Earth, we can accelerate a transformation that contributes to the achievement of all the Sustainable Development Goals.” Achieving these goals will not only protect the planet’s resources, but will also help create millions of new jobs by 2030, generate more than $7 trillion in profits a year, and help erase the planet, Guterres said. poverty.

Photo: Ho Cau/VNA Vietnam is currently in the group of countries with the most important and diverse ecosystems in the world, both in terms of marine and terrestrial ecosystems (especially forest and mangrove ecosystems). Vietnam currently has 173 protected areas with a total area of ​​over 2.5 million hectares, including 33 national parks, 66 nature reserves, 18 species and habitat conservation areas and 56 landscape protection zones. In particular, 9 sites are recognized as “world biosphere reserves”, 3 are “world natural heritage sites” recognized by UNESCO, 9 ramsar sites (wetlands), 10 ASEAN heritage garden. As one of the active members of the international community, Vietnam always strives to protect and develop natural ecosystems, biological species, and rich, endemic, precious and rare genetic resources. and has achieved many remarkable achievements. In addition, Vietnam is also committed to joining hands with countries in the region and around the world, working together to reverse the loss of biodiversity by 2030 for sustainable development. In the words of UN Secretary-General Guterres, the next 10 years are “the last chance” for humans to heal their own “wounds” to the Earth, preventing climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Only with strong action can people end these 10 years with a bright vision: living in peace with nature and ensuring a better future for all.

The trend of “Covid-19 vaccine tourism” is flourishing in many places (Photo: FORBES) After more than a year of being “locked up” because of Covid-19, the world is witnessing the blooming of the “Covid-19 vaccine tour”. Is this type really the key to reviving tourism or is it bringing a lot of unpredictable potential? New trend Since December last year, Mr. Enno Lenze, a German businessman and museum director, has been looking for many sources to get an early Covid-19 vaccine but wants to go abroad. Finally, the opportunity came to him. A tour company in Norway called World Visitor provided a travel package to Moscow, Russia to get the Sputnik V vaccine. Brother Lenze and 50 other Germans took the opportunity and went to Russia to get the Sputnik V shot. the first one in early April. This month, he and the others will return to Russia for a second injection. Many people seek out the Sputnik V vaccine by traveling to Moscow (Image: AP) “I have visited many places. I’m interested in space travel and I want to see Soviet-era spaceships,” Lenze told National Geographic. World Visitor also offers a three-week “wellness” tour package where guests can relax at a spa in Turkey between Covid-19 shots. Albert Sigl, co-owner of World Visitor, said that he has sold Covid-19 vaccination tours to about 600 customers from Germany and Switzerland, two European countries that currently have flights to Russia. According to Mr. Sigl, the company will continue to open Covid-19 vaccine tours to other countries when they open. In Austria, tour operator Impfreisen.at is also offering unconditional reservations for a series of holiday packages with “guaranteed rights to a Covid-19 vaccine”. For those who can’t afford it, Impfreisen even offers free rides to 1 in 10 people who book the cheapest package, if they can prove it’s financially viable. Last week, The Wall Street Journal of the United States reported that it did not take until New York City announced a plan to provide Covid-19 vaccination services to foreign tourists, the tourism industry from Texas to Florida already Heats up as tens of thousands of tourists from Mexico and many other countries come to these states to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Some states in the US, including Texas, do not require vaccination applicants to present proof of residency status. According to the AP news agency, wealthy tourists, including politicians, TV stars, leaders of companies and famous players in Latin America, have come to the US to get vaccinated against Covid-19. People stand in line to check in at Silvio Pettirosso Airport (Paraguay) to Miami. Many Latin Americans who come to the US for vaccinations have friends or relatives who live in the US and can help them get vaccinated against Covid-19. (Photo: AP) Most Covid-19 vaccination tours are from Mexico to Texas. Mexican airlines have opened more routes to South Texas and increased frequency of flights. Flights to Houston, Dallas and San Antonio have also been booked weeks in advance and fares are also increasing significantly. In addition, the charter flight service to the US for vaccination is also flourishing in Mexico. Cindy Mijares, a 31-year-old jewelry designer from Monterrey, Mexico, said that like many of her friends, she booked a Covid-19 vaccination at a pharmacy in Texas. The Wall Street Journal, citing preliminary data from Mexico City International Airport, showed that in April, about 207,000 passengers departed for the United States, compared with 177,000 in March and 95,000 in February. in April were Houston and Dallas, with 41,000 and 26,000 passengers, followed by Los Angeles, Miami and San Antonio.

Recently, many Thai tour companies have offered Covid-19 vaccination tours to the US and Russia. A Bangkok-based tour operator, Unithai Trip, offers packages ranging from 75,000 baht to 200,000 baht ($2,400 to $6,400) for tours to San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, at extra prices. depending on the time interval between injections of each Covid-19 vaccine. Unithai Trip CEO Rachphol Yamsaeng told Reuters: “Johnson & Johnson only needs one shot, but 90% of travelers require Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine,” so it takes about 20 days between the first dose. first and second dose. Meanwhile, another tour operator, My Journey Travel, is offering a 10-day trip to San Francisco for Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine. This company information, in just three days of opening the tour, they received hundreds of calls to ask about this tour. The US is not the only destination to get a Covid-19 vaccine for Thais. Udachi, a travel agency, has offered a 23-day tour called “Vaccine Vacation in Russia” to get the Sputnik V vaccine for up to 210,000 baht ($6,700). Travel leverage? After more than a year of “freezing” because of Covid-19, some countries with tourism as the mainstay of the economy are looking to increase tourist numbers by offering travel packages with Covid-19 vaccinations. “Paradise” Maldives has pursued a “3-V” strategy to encourage tourists to “visit, vaccinate and relax” (Vist, Vaccine and Vacation). Maldivian tourism minister Abdulla Mausoom told CNBC this would provide visitors with “more convenience” when on vacation. Mr. Mausoom said that while only about 13% of Maldivians are fully vaccinated, about 90% of frontline tourism workers are vaccinated. This figure points to the importance of the tourism sector in the economic recovery prospects of the Indian Ocean “resort paradise”. According to I. Glenn Cohen, a professor at Harvard Law School and director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics, traveling for medical treatment is not a trend. new save. The thriving medical tourism market has been around for many years. In the case of the Covid-19 vaccine, as long as the risk groups are protected first, vaccine-abundant countries can use them to restart tourism, but provided this is done carefully. kidney. “What matters is where the net benefits go,” he said. This benefit should benefit the poorest people in the community, not just the rich.” Although two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine may make countries retain tourists longer because it takes time for the body to produce an immune response, the following travel activities should not be rushed. vaccination.

Maldives is currently encouraging foreign tourists to return with a “3-V” strategy that combines visits, vaccinations and resorts. (Photo: GETTY IMAGE) Professor Cohen said he was a bit concerned and advised tourists who had just been vaccinated against going to markets or shopping malls right away. On May 6, New York began promoting itself as a tourist destination for those seeking a Covid-19 vaccine. Previously, from April, the Florida state government announced that it was canceling the requirement to be a resident of the state to receive the vaccine after the first wave of vaccination tourism. In Alaska, in an effort to boost local tourism, Governor Mike Dunleavy said visitors can get a free Covid-19 vaccine at the state’s main airports starting June 1. Mexican travel companies, already reeling from the pandemic, quickly recognized the opportunity. Eduardo Paniagua, head of the Mexican tourism industry association, said that in March and April, travel agencies sold tours to the US to 170,000 people, most of whom traveled for injections. Covid-19 vaccine. The US-Mexico border remains closed to non-essential land travel, but travelers can still travel by air. More than just coming to get vaccinated, travel to the US has a direct impact on local economies. Vaccinated tourists spend money on airline tickets, hotel stays and spend more time shopping and eating. These special tours are helping revive the economies of places like Texas’s Rio Grande Valley, which have been hit hard by a year of border closures.

Although locals have the lowest income in the US, the area is a top destination for wealthy Mexican tourists. Is it legal? At a glance, it can be seen that Covid-19 vaccination tourism is an attractive form to restore the tourism industry. But many people are also questioning the legitimacy of this type of tourism, the risks to tourists when participating in vaccination tourism and even its ethics. At this time, no formal arrangements have been made to ensure that foreign tourists are vaccinated against Covid-19 in the country they travel to. So tourists getting vaccinated could be frustrated and risk losing money. Reuters quoted Thailand’s Tourism Ministry on May 5 warning, travelers need to carefully check vaccination travel packages because the entry regulations in each state in the US are different. Euronews reported last month that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the government would consider a vaccination tourism program, but that Russian citizens were an “absolute priority”. Meanwhile, information on social media about vaccination tours for tourists from Turkey to Serbia has been denied by the Turkish Ambassador to Belgrade and the Serbian Embassy in Ankara. They confirmed that only Turks with a residence permit in Serbia are allowed to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Some countries have clearly announced that they do not welcome tourists to receive Covid-19 vaccines. In the UK, for example, the Covid-19 vaccine can only be administered through the public health system and must wait until a doctor’s appointment is received. At the appointment, the vaccinated person needs to confirm personal information, such as home address. It is possible that many other countries have adopted similar measures. In some respects, Covid-19 vaccine tourism can contribute towards the common goal of ending the Covid-19 pandemic soon. So far, the WHO has urged Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers to keep their commitments to equitable distribution of vaccines. But with some richer countries starting to monopolize the stockpiling of excess vaccines to make a profit, Covid-19 vaccine tourism will only prolong the wait for access to Covid-19 vaccines in many parts of the world. , especially in poor countries, and exacerbated the imbalance of supply and demand for Covid-19 vaccines. These consequences will likely slow down efforts to end the Covid-19 pandemic, which WHO insists can only be achieved by global cooperation in vaccine sharing.

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.

Those are a few outlines of Pham Duy Nghia to explain the surprises that can happen when the author has just released the collection of poems Cho Eternity Autumn (Literature Publishing House, 2021). In fact, for a writer, it is normal to try and affirm his talent in many genres. It is not uncommon for writers to write novels, short stories, autographs, essays, essays, poems, and engage in literary criticism. So is Pham Duy Nghia. Although, in the preface to the collection of poems, the author foretells that these are only poems of youth (composed in 2000), are “gentle memories” that keep “my soul pure and clear”. time”, but with 30 poems, Cho eternal autumn has revealed a portrait of a poet. Feelings of chaos, confusion, and problems in modern poetry can be partly relieved when we read Pham Duy Nghia’s Cho Eternity Autumn. Poetry brings familiarity and closeness. From Little Red Riding Hood to the Snow Queen, from Danko to Giamilia, from the young maple to the old oak, from the birch forest to the lilac, from the hills and steppe to the vast white snow, from the golden autumn to the crimson sail, from the bunch of green grapes to the swans, from the yellow bush to the fairy castle… we recognize the source of Pham Duy Nghia’s poetic soul. These are Paustovsky, L. Tolstoy, Aitmatov; the other is A.Grin, Grim, HCAndersen; In the distance, a vast yellow color is Levitan, a pride like a flame in M.Gorky’s Danko heart… It can be said that Pham Duy Nghia’s eternal autumn has been revived and born in “” from the school of Soviet culture and literature” and European classics for a while: “For a hundred years, there is still sadness in the afternoon / poplar forest leaves apricots yellower than the sun / the wind lulls me to sleep / golden autumn , golden autumn… (Before Levitan); so innocent of dream forests / Grim green hills” (Fairyland)… Pham Duy Nghia’s poetry is beautiful and clear. The lyrical feeling evoked from the cultural source rich in ideals forms a shiny art world like “sunshine in the trees”. Pham Duy Nghia’s youth may have been earnestly caught up with the desire to live and become noble souls. Beautiful and clear, that is, not clouded by the trivial, narrow, calculated; Not too entangled in pain or brokenness. Is living, loving and passionate, pursuing and dedicating to the cause of life a model of the people of the era that used to be the “dream about” of many generations of Vietnamese teenagers, students, and students?: ” I want to kiss the blue flames/ in the poet’s eyes silently dark/ collect the fallen gold dust to search for agarwood/…/ One day the torch burns out of oil/ they die/ under the yellow leaves and snow/ arrogant laugh/listen to a thousand-year storm” (Torch). The clear and beautiful world of Pham Duy Nghia’s poetry is displayed through color. Color reflects the object of attention (outside) while at the same time revealing the aesthetic vibes (inside) of the poet. For the eternal autumn, the highlight is green and yellow. That shows the haunting charms of the ideal that once existed in the poet’s soul. Blue moonlight, blue sea, blue lake, blue sky, green valley, green hill, blue stream, blue sunset, green garden, green grass, green sprout, green nuggets, blue soul, blue love age, green lover’s eyes, green flower floor, green song, blue rose and wild… dyed a green and clear and intoxicating space. That blue color brings the soul of youth: “Over here / blue sunset / I crave a sad feature of the North; sink deep, my eyes are loving / the sea is bright with the thirst of the world” (Memories of the moon hill) ; “I go to the far distance wind/ blue sky May ecstasy” (Sea sound)… Harmony in the ideal space For eternal autumn is golden light. Golden autumn, golden moon, yellow flowers, yellow sunshine, yellow leaves, yellow carpet, yellow scarf, gold dust, gold beads, golden strokes, blonde hair… aroused in poetic inspiration, dreamy and splendid. Yellow color brightens the space, sifting on the green background sparkling with magical powder: “Autumn is light / coming to the doorstep, crouching / in the garden I walk softly / afraid to step on the yellow autumn” (Four seasons) ; “The poplar forest without leaves is more yellow than the sun” (Before Levitan); “One early morning/wasting under the sky/ canola flowers bloom/ canola flowers interrupt/slight seeds of sunshine are sad seeds/drops of gold on the winter picture” (The Sorrow of Canola flowers); “Saigon at noon/ Shattered corpses of yellow flowers” (Memory train); “Is it the season over there / the sky is blue on this side / the birch is soft with white breasts / autumn is ripe with thousands of trees” (The sound of the sea)… The particular attention, preference or impression of color (blue-yellow-white) really reveals the poet’s “mental structure”. A pure, young, passionate, dreamy soul with idealistic desire has been expressed by the spectrum of colors in the poem painting For Eternal Autumn. This, if we look broadly at the short story – the genre that is considered the mainstay of Pham Duy Nghia’s work, we have more evidence to convince ourselves. Thus, stories or poems are just different manifestations of an artist’s heart who has loved and cherished the fresh green color full of vitality, the shimmering yellow color and the pure white color. Life will change, people will change and art will change, but with what we have entrusted to the eternal autumn, we recognize the face of May, of memory, of passions. raise people.

In particular, colorful Crochet (knitting, crochet) items are becoming tendency of this summer. This fashion trend quickly became the inspiration for the collections of many famous fashion houses on international and domestic catwalks. Crochet “storms” around the world… Crochet or knitwear, crochet is taking the fashion world by storm. Initially, crochet was seen as a cheap substitute for lace, considered a valuable “make and fix” technique during the Second World War. However, by the 1960s, it had taken on a life of its own and was once known as “granny fashion.” Until the 70s, knitting and crocheting became the new hobby of hippie women.

A series of countries that were once the hottest epidemic centers in the world have now reopened thanks to an effective mass vaccination strategy, lighting up the hope of soon stabilizing people’s lives and recovering the economy. “Now everyone is experiencing the real New York and it suddenly dawned on me, we’re almost over the real pandemic,” Michelle Khoury said with joy evident on her face. That mood is not only of Michelle, but of many people in New York (USA) when the state fully reopens on May 19, restoring all activities. Those who have been vaccinated are no longer required to wear masks or practice social distancing when going out. They only have to wear masks at nursing homes, hospitals or on public transport. 2/ Our World in Data’s chart of the number of people vaccinated against Covid-19 in New York as of May 19. Light blue represents the number of people who injected at least 1 dose, dark green represents full dose. In a statement announcing the important decision, Governor Andrew Cuomo said that from now on, all shops, restaurants, entertainment centers, theaters and museums will no longer have to limit the number of visitors to a low level. , and New York’s subway system, which is the largest in the United States, is also officially open 24/24 as before the pandemic. The government plans to soon organize famous traditional events such as professional volleyball tournaments, marathons and performances at the Radio City Music Hall variety stage as soon as this year. According to official data, the number of new infections and deaths in New York is now hitting its lowest level since the pandemic broke out more than a year ago. After the first case of death from the new strain of corona virus was recorded on March 14, 2020, the state lost more than 30,000 people within just one year. ABC News points out that this number is 10 times more than the number of Americans who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. America is slowly returning to normal New York is one of many typical states of the United States, including New Jersey and Connecticut, that have reversed the pandemic to return to normal life. After more than a year of struggling against the terrible infection of the virus with more than 33.8 million positive cases and nearly 602,000 deaths, the US is gradually reviving thanks to the world’s fastest vaccination campaign. CDC data shows that, by the end of May 18, New York reached about 52% of the population receiving at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine and 43% receiving a full dose. In New Jersey, the numbers were 56.9% and 45.2%, respectively, while in Connecticut it reached 59.9% and 49.3%. Our World in Data’s chart of the number of people vaccinated against Covid-19 in the US as of May 18.

Las Vegas casinos are reopening at 100% capacity with no social distancing requirements. Disneyland in California also reopened late last month after shutting down for 400 days. Massachusetts also announced that all restrictions related to Covid-19 will end by the weekend of Memorial Day (May 31). The momentum to escape the Covid-19 pandemic in the US is not outside the judgment of experts and forecasts of global financial institutions. White House senior adviser on Covid-19 Andy Slavitt pointed out that, for the first time in the pandemic, the number of infections last week decreased in all 50 US states. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, on May 18, said the average number of infections and deaths from Covid-19 in the last 7 days in the US has dropped to the lowest since the pandemic began. About 60% of Americans 18 years of age and older have had at least one dose of the vaccine, and this is a good sign that the US will easily reach the goal set by President Joe Biden, of 70% of the population getting less vaccination at least one dose of vaccine by July 4. However, she cautioned that recent numbers suggest “we should be cautiously optimistic”. Europe opens at the same time From the beginning of this week, European countries simultaneously eased restrictive measures, allowing most economic sectors to return to normal activities. The EU is speeding up Covid-19 vaccination campaigns for its people. Photo: Reuters Once one of the hottest epidemic centers in Europe in particular and globally in general, the UK officially reopened from May 17, after a long time of implementing strict blockade measures. People can move freely, hug each other or drink beer in public, have dinner at restaurants or watch movies in theaters. Students are no longer required to wear masks at school. On the same day, the first flights to Portugal and the countries that allow visitors from the UK to enter took off. He also got this spectacular step thanks to a successful vaccination campaign. The country’s daily number of new infections and deaths are both low as more than 20 million British adults have been vaccinated with both vaccines, accounting for over 30% of the country’s population. In addition, more than 36 million other people have also received the first dose of the vaccine, accounting for nearly 70% of the population. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government decided to reopen in phases, with the goal of returning to normal by next June. He warned the public to be cautious, because while Britain “has reached an important milestone in the road out of the blockade, we still have to take this next step with extreme caution”. Statista’s graph shows the number of people who received 1 or 2 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in France from December 27, 2020 to May 15, 2021. In France, starting May 19, restaurants began serving outdoor guests after more than 6 months of having to close. Theaters, cinemas, museums and the Eiffel Tower are also open to a certain number of visitors. On the same day, Portugal officially opened its doors to all European visitors to the country without having to quarantine, provided that they present a negative test for Covid-19 within 72 hours. The Netherlands also reopened amusement parks and zoos, and allowed restaurants and outdoor bars to close 2 hours later than before. In Italy, the curfew time was also lowered to 9pm, compared to 10pm before. Beaches have been reopened to normal since the weekend. For the first time in six months, Austria allowed restaurants, theaters and cinemas to reopen. The government of this country announced that, from May 19, visitors from some countries with low infection rates will not need to be isolated, although they still need to provide negative test results and vaccination cards. two in November 2020, after recording a record high number of daily infections.

While some countries confidently promote border opening, some countries, including the rate of Covid-19 vaccination among the population is quite high, still struggling to “open” or “closed” the border. gender. The World Travel & Tourism Council estimated the tourism industry lost nearly $4.5 trillion and 62 million jobs last year.

However, those who are planning travel trips sometimes feel like they are lost in the matrix of regulations because each place is different and even rapidly changing. For example, Cyprus imposes restrictions on countries considered to be at higher risk, requiring incoming passengers to take a negative PCR test 72 hours before departure and one more test. when entering this country. Travelers must also self-isolate until test results are released. Constantinos Victoras, general manager of NissiBlu hotel located near the famous white sand beach of Ayia Napa, said that although the infection rate in Cyprus has decreased significantly in the past two weeks, it is not until the end of June that everything is new. becomes more obvious. At that time, tour operators and airlines were just starting to plan and organize flights. “Things are still very vague,” says Victoras. Swedish tourists Agatha and Simon Godurkiewicz said they chose to vacation in Cyprus because they were tired of the pandemic. Agatha Godurkiewicz said: “We are fed up with life during the pandemic. When the epidemic first appeared, we panicked, but now we are learning to live together.” Confident Europe The economies of the Mediterranean countries, including Greece, Spain and Turkey, are heavily dependent on tourism. Tourists from these countries began to breathe a sigh of relief when last week the European Union (EU) agreed to allow travelers who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or come from other countries. countries are considered safe to enter. The Covid-19 digital certification will help Europeans who meet the above criteria travel more conveniently at the start of the tourist season without having to be isolated or tested when traveling to another country. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said last week that Spain would begin allowing visitors from Britain, Japan, the United States and some other countries to enter if they have been vaccinated. Foreign tourists have begun to appear in Greece after authorities allowed people from the European Union and 21 other countries with vaccination and test certificates to enter. On the Greek island of Naxos, business owners have begun pulling furniture out of storage, cleaning floors and reopening once crowded seaside pubs. Naxos Mayor Dimitris Lianos said: “People here are very optimistic and there are a lot of bookings in the last two weeks. From now until the end of the year, the outlook will be bright. I’m sure of that.” Croatia has also reopened. The country is one of the few places in Europe that Americans can easily visit. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have announced the opening of direct flights from New York to Dubrovnik this summer. Cautious Asia The Covid-19 epidemic is breaking out again throughout parts of Asia, making some countries and territories more reticent when it comes to strategies to open up the tourism industry. After a new outbreak, Hong Kong and Singapore abandoned injections for travelers entering without quarantine. Hong Kong even extended the mandatory quarantine period for many unvaccinated travelers. Meanwhile, China has set up additional checkpoints at tollgates, airports and train stations in Liaoning province, where new cases arose this month. Travelers must present proof of a negative test result for the Sars-cov-2 virus. Thailand, which closed its borders and strictly controlled the outbreak last year, allowed some foreign visitors to enter under strict control in the fall. But the worst outbreak in late March caused the country to completely change its policy. Bangkok has closed entertainment venues and parks, encouraged people to work from home and banned outdoor dining. Streets in the capital and many resorts of Thailand are almost empty of people. Travel-related job losses are on the rise. Middle East and Africa eagerly When the outbreak emerged last year, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) closed its borders and airports. The capital, Abu Dhabi, applies strict measures, including mandatory isolation, even for fully vaccinated residents returning from some epidemic-hit countries. But the UAE’s largest city, Dubai, has been open to tourists since July last year. In addition to meeting the requirement for a negative Covid-19 test, visitors are subject to a number of other restrictions that are not too strict. Dubai – home to the world’s busiest airport, a hub for international travelers – is attracting visitors from Europe with its wide-open beaches, bars, hotel pools, restaurants, cinemas. movies, amusement parks and spas. Social distancing and wearing of masks are mandatory. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the largest country in the Gulf, does not allow tourists to enter the country. Citizens of Saudi Arabia, who have been banned from traveling since March 2020, are allowed to travel abroad starting this month if they are vaccinated or have recently recovered from the Sars-Cov virus infection. 2. Despite struggling to cope with a new wave of infections, Egypt is trying to attract more foreign tourists. Beaches, cafes and restaurants located within guests are allowed to stay open. Travelers are required to present a negative Covid-19 test prior to entry. Latin America and the Caribbean: An open place, a shy place Visitors to the Caribbean countries fell by two-thirds last year, a low not seen since the 1980s. Bermuda was one of the hardest hit, with an 84% drop. Some islands, including Bonaire, Martinique and Montserrat still ban tourists from most countries. On some other islands, tourists are allowed to return provided they are monitored by electronic tracking devices. Several islands, including St. Vincent and the Grenadines have launched campaigns to attract tourists. Cruise lines are being sent from the US to Caribbean ports this summer. The US Virgin Islands has been the region’s success story this year, with arrivals falling just 27% between January and March. Meanwhile, Mexico does not ban flights, does not require visitors to be tested or quarantined upon arrival. This makes the number of tourists, although still decreasing, at a stable level, especially to sea tourist destinations. However, Mexico’s open policy angered some people in popular tourist areas. The rate of people infected with Covid-19 and hospitalized is increasing. Assistant Health Minister Hugo López-Gatell warned: “If public activities are not reduced, the situation will worsen.” USA and Canada: Be cautious The US continues to ban most visitors from Europe, China, India, Brazil and elsewhere. Incoming international visitors, including US citizens, must be tested for Covid-19 before boarding. The US State Department discourages business trips abroad, labeling many countries around the world as high risk. The border between the US and Canada remains closed for non-essential travel until June 21. Domestic air travel in the US is close to returning to 2019 levels. Many tourism businesses have shown impatience, saying that the Biden administration is too reticent to allow more international tourists to enter in the context that most of the country’s population has been vaccinated against Covid-19. -19. (according to AP)

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

Officially inaugurated on May 2, this bridge is really not for the faint of heart. This special structure is made up of metal grids, hanging precariously at a height of 175m overlooking the fast-flowing Paiva River. Nestled among the rocky mountains covered with green trees and yellow flowers inside the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Arouca Geopark, the Arouca Bridge is 516m long. To cross this bridge, on average, each person takes about 10 minutes. The bridge is not intended for children under the age of six. Not until today’s inauguration ceremony, two days ago, people from the nearby town of Arouca were allowed to walk across this special suspension bridge. As the first person to have the courage to cross the longest suspension bridge in the world, Hugo Xavier shared: “I was a bit scared, but it was really worth it. Truly extraordinary, so unique.” Margarida Belem, the head of the Arouca region, said that the opening of the bridge after two years of construction would help the region resume tourism activities. “This bridge is a major attraction of this region,” said Margarida Belem. Meanwhile, Mr. Emanuel, a local tour guide, expects that: “The bridge is a breath of fresh air for our land because it will attract more investment, more people.” because the population in the region is aging rapidly as many young people move to big cities. “It will give a new impetus to Arouca,” said Emanuel. When fully operational from May 3, the 516m Arouca suspension bridge will break the 2017 record for the longest pedestrian suspension bridge recorded for the Charles Kuonen suspension bridge in Randa, in the mountains. Swiss Alps.

The life of fishermen on Nhon Chau island is increasingly improved. Photo: NGOC OAI Because of difficult life, young men and women left the island to the mainland to make a living, leaving only the elderly, children and women on the island. Because of that, for a long time, Nhon Chau is also known as “old people’s island” or “old people’s island”… Memory Arriving on the island, Mr. Nguyen Duc Battle, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nhon Chau island commune, said that Nhon Chau island not only has the memories of people but also the memories of the purest Vietnamese villages. Indeed, according to culturalist Dinh Ba Hoa (who used to work at Binh Dinh Museum), based on geological and cultural documents left behind, Nhon Chau island has an ancient Vietnamese sea village hundreds of years old. In addition, from the 15th century, the Cham people moved to the island to live, the traces of their residence left on the island are quite clear… In the memory of Mr. Nguyen Van Lem (61 years old), in the past, Nhon Chau was almost isolated in the middle of the sea, living in a situation of scurrying oil lamps. “There are two wells on the island, but the underground circuit produces no water to drink. The most memorable thing is that every night of the drought season, the villagers have to catch every drop of water every night. Terrible suffering. In the past, the villagers of Nhon Chau, even in the middle of the sea, still went to the back of the mountain to grow cassava and upland rice to get food and survive in the midst of harsh winds. Hunger in the middle of the sea for more than a century, but the villagers still cling to the sea and refuse to leave the island…”, Mr. Lem said. It was not until after the liberation day that the people of Nhon Chau officially had their title when they became an island in Quy Nhon city. From here, the inhabitants of the island began to find new livelihoods. They left the mountains to go to the sea to catch and grow seafood. With crabs and fish, islanders sail to the mainland to sell and exchange for food and necessary necessities. However, life still changes day by day. The desire to change fate urges young people to leave the island and go to the mainland, forming a new series of “migratory” days on this island. “In the summer, young people go all the way to the mainland, to the farms or to the companies in the city to apply for a job… Thanks to that, the young generation’s life changes, they inherit more conditions than they do. me the other day,” continued Mr. Lem. Hunger To reach Nhon Chau, we boarded a wooden ship with about 300 horsepower from Quy Nhon port to overcome the waves. The sound of the engine ship was crispy, gliding slowly and steadily through each wave of the rough sea. Sitting by the window of the ship, the clear eyes of Ha Phuong, a native of Nhon Chau island, a student of Quy Nhon University, watched the blue waves of the sea. Phuong said: “I am pursuing my dream of becoming an elementary school teacher at Quy Nhon University”. According to Ha Phuong, the education of children on Nhon Chau island is very difficult. “We only attended high school on the island. Those from high school and above must go to the mainland to study. There are very few children out here going to high school.” Ha Phuong’s father is a fisherman, and his mother works as a porter in the summer to carry construction materials on the island, and in the harsh winter on the island, she almost sits at home. As for Mr. Tran Dinh Van (West village, Nhon Chau island), 35 years old, when he was 15 years old, he started to leave the island to find luck in Ho Chi Minh City, with the desire to escape poverty. However, during nearly 10 years of traveling in foreign lands and his career still did not progress, his heart urged him to return. The opportunity also comes when community-based tourism takes the throne, the islands become a “gold mine” for the tourism industry. So Van decided to return to the island, calling on like-minded friends to embark on tourism. “Initially, the island was in short supply, electricity was intermittent, so tourism was like sea foam. With guests, we take canoes to the island and then use motorbikes to do backpacking tours, sightseeing, setting up tents to light a fire, vegetarian singing along the coast. More and more changing, my group expands and does more methodical tourism than before…”, said Van. With the same aspirations as Van, Nguyen Duc Toan’s journey (26 years old, Dong village) was smoother. Thanks to his experience, his family has economic potential, Toan established a travel company, named Cu Lao Xanh Travel. Toan’s business has been doing well for many years, creating stable jobs for dozens of people and relatives on the island. Revival Cu Lao Xanh meets the criteria of green – clean – beautiful and is an island that has not been affected by the “whirlwind” of tourism and urbanization, so everything is almost intact. The island has many attractive tourist attractions such as: a lighthouse built in 1890, a national flagpole on Thanh Nien island, a freshwater reservoir, Thao Nguyen rock, Yen cape, 3 beaches along with many temples and pagodas. caves, shrines, mausoleums, stone caves, ancient stone fields of the Champa people… Thanks to that, in recent years, people on the island have started to develop community-based tourism. Currently on the island there are 9 quite professional community-based tourism models. In particular, many households are willing to invest billions to build homestay-style tourism infrastructure, green accommodation, cheap … Asked about the economic business of the people on the island, Mr. Ho Nhat Le, Chairman of Nhon Chau Island Commune People’s Committee, was excited: Despite difficult conditions, the people on the island are always curious and creative. Many new production models have been researched or applied effectively by people themselves. In which, the model of raising squid and lobster from the wild has been evaluated successfully, bringing very high economic efficiency to farmers. According to Mr. Le, recently, the “revolution” in electricity has begun to activate, launching many strengths such as community tourism and aquaculture of the people on the island. “The shortages and difficulties of the people on the island are gradually being solved by the State, so basically the life and business on the island changes quite quickly. Trade between the mainland and the people of Nhon Chau has been connected,” Le said. When preparing to board the boat to leave the island, Mr. Le pulled my hand and whispered: When young people accept to leave the mainland and return to the island, it is a good sign for Nhon Chau. Then, the “old island” will wake up and revive as the name Cu Lao Xanh that the first class of Vietnamese residents gave it. In addition to the reconstruction of Nhon Chau island, the authorities of Quy Nhon city and Binh Dinh province are always interested in the areas of health and education for the island. Currently, Nhon Chau has 8 doctors, 23 teachers (mainly teachers born on the island) who are permanently attached to take care of the health and education of the people and children on the island. Nhon Chau began to have good signs…

According to the Footwear News , search terms like “Chanel croc charm” and “Nicki Crocs” became popular. Even, The Sole Supplier and reports that searches for Pink Crocs have increased by more than 4,900% within 24 hours. The company’s website also crashed quickly after the female rapper published a sexy image. Sexy photo posted by Nicki Minaj. Photo: Barbie. In 2020, this brand has a major resurgence in the industry when collaborating with many famous names such as Justin Bieber, Post Malone. “Crocs is one of the companies with record profits in 2020 amid the pandemic. Many people are turning to more comfortable clothing, especially those working from home.” Footwear News commented. In February, the company said it had record revenue for the past year with $1.4 billion, up 12.6% year-over-year. In March, Justin Bieber continued to collaborate with the brand to launch lavender purple sandals. The product was also warmly received by fans. Crocs achieved high revenue even though the whole industry was “struggling” because of the Covid-19 epidemic. Photo: Justin Bieber.

Cryogenic technology and the promise of bringing the dead back to life (Photo: Internet) Cryogenics, also known as cryopreservation, is the technique of freezing a dead body or body parts to protect them from decomposition. Proponents of cryogenics see it as a magical technology to bypass death and even reach immortality. They decided to freeze and preserve the body intact, hoping to wait until science developed enough to revive the dead body and cure whatever caused them to die before. . (Photo: Internet) To date, more than 350 dead people worldwide have been preserved at low temperatures at one of four facilities providing this service: two in the US (Alcor Life Extension Foundation, Arizona and Cryonics Institute, Michigan State); 1 in Russia (KrioRus company), and 1 in Portugal (also Alcor lab). About 1,000 people have signed up for the post-mortem resurrection service. In this list, there are famous figures such as Britney Spears, Simon Cowell, Larry King, Don Laughlin (a gambling business magnate in the US) or director Charles Matthau… How are cryogenics performed? Legally, deep freezing is only performed when the patient is dead. The ideal time to start a cryogenics procedure is about 2 minutes after the patient’s heart stops and no more than 15 minutes afterward. First, the body is gradually cooled with ice and injected with chemicals to reduce clotting. After the temperature drops to near 0°C, blood is drawn to be replaced with a solution intended to protect tissues and organs. (Photo: Internet) The technicians also injected the body with another solution to prevent ice crystals from forming, then continued to cool the body down to -130°C. As a final step, the body is moved to a container of liquid nitrogen. There, it will be cooled down to -196°C. Cost of cryogenics The fee that a person has to pay if they want to deep freeze the whole body at the Cryonics Institute is from about 35,000 USD (about 800 million VND). While if you do the procedure at KrioRus in Russia, it will cost you 37,600 USD (about 860 million VND). At Alcor, the cost of preserving a person is 220,000 USD (equivalent to 5 billion VND), if you want to save more, just preserve the brain for about 80,000 USD (approximately 1.8 billion VND). This cost does not include the annual maintenance fee, which means that the longer you keep it, the more money you have to spend. (Photo: Internet) chances of success Many scientists believe that the chance to revive a dead person is almost zero. Because the body’s organs, especially vital organs such as the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys, must have been damaged when freeze. Until now, the damage that has occurred and resulted in death is irreversible. Due to the severe damage to internal organs and the brain, the law requires technical participants to be scientifically dead, which makes it almost impossible to revive a dead person. (Photo: Internet) Alcor doesn’t offer a clear technique to resurrect someone who’s been dead too long, or a technique under development in the future to bring the dead back to life. A very vague technology on Alcor’s website is described that they will use molecular nanotechnology with microscopic nano-sized robots that can replace damaged chromosomes and can restore individual cells. . It is worth mentioning that Alcor has not researched this technology, in fact they only trade in freezing and preserving the dead and no one is responsible for the patient’s promise to revive. Alcor’s main research is only on techniques to preserve the dead as best as possible. The prospect of resurrecting a frozen body has so far been quite remote and unrealistic. And many in the scientific community even consider this to be unethical.

Pony’s real name is Kim Hye Min, known in the industry as a blogger, makeup artist for singer CL. Her beauty-related channel currently has over 5.8 million subscribers from around the world. Pony’s most viewed video featured her transform into Taylor Swift in 2016. Difficult first days “In the beginning, it was just a diary. I introduced different trends as well as skin care and beauty. Those are my personal feelings and thoughts. However, when the channel and The number of viewers is growing, I have to know how to moderate,” Pony said. Pony once surprised many people around the world with makeup identical to Taylor Swift. Photo: Daily Mail, Pony. Pony considers herself a “first generation” vlogger in South Korea, where social media platforms have fueled the careers of many influencers over the past few years. When Pony started working on it, things weren’t completely standardized and she had to spend a lot of time being creative. She considered herself how to present her content in new mediums after spending so much time blogging. At that time, Pony’s decision was seen as a great challenge, as meaningful as a pave. She sees it as a journey to learn. The most difficult thing for a female beauty blogger is to do everything by herself, even paying attention to each punctuation mark. Kimchi makeup expert confided: “It is certainly not the easiest path. However, it is an interesting path, paving the way for those who have influence on beauty. You have to be careful even when using a basic emoji. It may be wrong in some people’s opinion. Because someone goes first, the juniors will feel less difficult.” Promoting the Korean beauty industry According to the SCMP , Pony has been instrumental in the fact that Korean products can be found in most beauty and convenience stores worldwide. Pony is now very influential in promoting the Korean beauty industry. Photo: @ponysmakeup. She said, “As a Korean, it’s surprising to me that so many people know about K-beauty around the world. But on the other hand, it’s a mixture of disappointment and optimism.” Pony thinks so because she thinks she and others have the opportunity to continue to spread news, views about Korean culture, beauty products. However, the industry has stalled. When thinking about kimchi beauty products, many people immediately know foundation, sheet masks, multi-step processes, snail cream, etc. According to Pony, these basics are still relatively new to the audience. She wanted to show people more of those things. From there, the 31-year-old makeup artist hopes to revive the industry once again through sharing her different skin care and beauty regimens with the world. In addition to beauty, Pony’s style of dress also becomes an inspiration for girls. Photo: @ponysmakeup. “In Korea there are only 2 types of foundation. In the US, it is available in different levels. Because of the lack of color variety, our products are distinguished through different finishes such as glass leather. , frosting, airbrush, velvet… with skin-supporting ingredients,” emphasized Pony. After researching, she wanted to combine the two things together so that more people around the world could “enjoy” a variety of foundations. Although Pony’s work has changed slightly due to the Covid-19 epidemic, she continues to pursue international projects as a brand ambassador, creator or event organizer. “I want to make everything accessible to everyone,” she is adamant.

There is no tree species that can withstand the fierce heat of the land when there are 16 months without a drop of rain (as in 2007). The native vegetation is almost dust. The rare geysers in the ancient mulch forests that I used to know are now gone. The soil flakes off and becomes dust, leaving behind a layer of gravel with no nutrients … Meanwhile, a guy reading books like me does not have much understanding of geology, geography or plants … The dream of flowers like Panduranga pebbles, turns sand and passes slowly through his fingers. But not only me, there are many other people, especially young people who work in science, are constantly thinking and finding ways to combat desertification, covering the barren barren green. of Ninh Thuan land effectively. I was very happy to read from the disaster risk reduction and climate change expert Nguyen Ngoc Huy that: he and his friends in the Living Foundation are researching and experimenting with regeneration. green, proceed to green barren hills, revive forests and vegetation for Ninh Thuan. Holding PhD in disaster risk reduction and climate change at the University of Tokyo (Japan) in 2010, Nguyen Ngoc Huy has more than 15 years specializing in research on natural disasters and climate change in other countries. Asia-Pacific region. Acacia has a strong vitality in dry areas. His FB Huy Nguyen page has become a reputable channel for reporting disaster warning and extreme weather for more than 10 years. Especially during the rainy season – storm – flood in 2020, Nguyen Ngoc Huy’s forecasts proved very accurate and timely, helping people in impending natural disaster areas to foresee, to take steps to prepare and prepare. appropriate room, minimizing the loss of life and property. In addition, he has established and participated in a number of groups to help and improve the environment in the face of the extreme impacts of La Nina or the Solar process in the country … In Ninh Thuan, Huy’s program and the Living Fund have two main activities. One is afforestation with the participation of indigenous peoples and the Provincial Forest Conservation Management Board (MB). Second is a cultural activity combining afforestation with the participation of people outside Ninh Thuan. Their aim is to create vegetation first, and then bring in the trees. But because the people’s goats and sheep graze eating socks, threatening to gnaw everything, they plan to have to plant trees over the canopy and cover the vegetation close to the rice field. In the immediate future, in 2021, the Living Fund group plans to experiment with 10 hectares, planting about 20,000 trees, mainly Neem trees and Thanh That trees. Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Huy said: “Thanh That tree has been tested by the forest protection board, so we can confidently plant it.” Neem, which is an exotic tree, like Sau Dau, has long been proven to be a “champion” tree that can withstand drought, which can grow very well on arid Ninh Thuan. However, this plant, up to now, has been extracted medicinal ingredients for the production of toothpaste, pesticides, cosmetics … but has not brought about significant benefits, except for the creation of green arrays. The Neem tree is quite large, but can not take any wood. Firewood also does not. Its leaves are bitter and poisonous, and goats and sheep do not eat. Moreover, under the Neem canopy, there is no native vegetation or tree species that can symbiotic. Although planting Neem can create green patches, Neem trees can grow on dry land but cannot solve the problem of soil retention and anti-desertification. Sharing with Nguyen Ngoc Huy and the Living Fund team, I think indigenous Tree can be a viable solution. Cay Dep also has many other names such as Keo Dau, Binh Linh, Tran Apple, Apple Nhon, Flea, Keo Worm … It has the scientific name of Leucaena Leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit; Fabaceae, Fabales, grows in the tropics. In Ninh Thuan and many other rural areas, trees are often planted as fences. The canopy is wide, the bark is gray. The leaves are twofold, with potted glands on grade 1 stalks (a typical feature of the virgins subfamily). Flower head to head, white corolla. The fruit forms clusters. When the seeds are green, they can be eaten and are often used as medicine for worms (when I was a child I ate them all the time, each time I boiled the whole pot), when the fruit was ripe, the seeds turned dark brown. Wikipedia notes: “It is also a very efficient plant for nitrogen fixation, with masses greater than 500 kg / ha per year. The fruit and acacia leaves can be used as animal by-feed. Ecology can regenerate seeds very well, so people often use Acacia as a pioneer tree for forest rehabilitation. Easy to live and for wide canopy, Acacia is widely grown as a fence. Acacia seeds will be scattered on land that has lost the properties of forest soil, germinating Acacia and will gradually improve the soil properties here, creating conditions for other trees to grow. […] Acacia grows well in well drained soils, less acidic, and can adapt to salty and coastal soils. Rooster is very drought tolerant but does not tolerate waterlogging, especially when young “. All the characteristics are described in the document proving that D Chop (Keo Dau) is very suitable for being a native tree species creating green patches for the recovery of vegetation in Ninh Thuan. In the years 1980 – 1990, the dried flat beans were collected by Ninh Thuan people and used a lot to make the prices (long, small, chewy stalks) to replace green beans, black beans, which are quite expensive. This proves that Keo Dau is easy to germinate. Acacia Seeds are easy to collect in large quantities so that they can be used as a source of seed bombs to spread on barren hills and wasteland in the early rainy season. Pile roots, deeply ingrained, resistant to drought, can grow in meager holes stuck between rocks, with little rainfall left behind. When growing, it will keep mountains and hills for this meager amount of land and water, enabling other shrubs to grow. Growing Acacia Rooster, certainly goats and sheep will have a favorite dish. However, woody trees regenerate buds and leaves quickly, so if protected well, this is not a concern. In the fences, bushes, when this plant has stood on its feet, vines such as leprechaun, vase, or flowers of five colors … are also very easy to symbiotic and develop. Fortunately, when I transferred the information and hesitantly suggested it, Huy Nguyen and his team were both quite interested. Huy Nguyen texted back: “I have passed your suggestions to the Forest Expert of the Living Fund. He will discuss with the local people and planters to find a way to experiment.” Hopefully, with the suitability and rapid growth of this indigenous tree species, the opportunity to revive the pioneer vegetation for Ninh Thuan will be closer. And from that, the indigenous genetic resources, other suitable plants will also have the opportunity to reproduce, return the green color, the vegetation, the forest … for the Panduranga plain to reduce the burning sun. Who knows, one day not far away, passing Ninh Thuan during the Tet season, my profuse forest is bursting with gold, causing travelers to collapse, passersby and souls …

This scene seems to clearly illustrate the devastation of the Covid-19 epidemic on the tourism industry of the Golden Temple, especially on an island famous for its never-sleeping nightlife, which once attracted about 15 million. visitors per year, according to New York Times. Just a few weeks ago, Phuket seemed ready for a comeback. After a year away from foreign tourists, the Thai government decided to allow vaccinated visitors to Phuket in July without going through quarantine. This is part of a project called the Phuket Sandbox. However, the land of the Golden Temple is facing the worst outbreak of Covid-19 since the pandemic began, partly due to the rich people coming to Phuket, Bangkok to party without adhering to the social gap. Due to the epidemic, Phuket’s beaches are deserted even at the time of year attracting tourists. The number of new daily reported infections increased from 26 on 1 April to more than 2,000 just three weeks later. In early December 2020, Thailand had only 4,000 cases of Covid-19. For months, Thailand’s strict quarantine, blockade and mandatory masking measures have helped limit the spread of the epidemic despite having a significant impact on the economy. But in the latest outbreak, the country’s government responded slowly. In Phuket alone, it was not until April 22, when cases of SARS-CoV-2 were recorded at a record high, did the local government begin to request Covid-19 screening for those arriving on the island. On April 18, the Thai tourism minister admitted that Phuket reopening on July 1 seems unlikely because it will depend on the anti-epidemic situation in Thailand. Bleak In preparation for Phuket Sandbox, the Thai government has provided a variety of vaccines to the island, in hopes of gaining public immunity by the summer. As of mid-April, more than 20% of Phuket’s residents have been vaccinated. However, the picture is still very bleak. Usually at this time of year, the golden sands of Patong Beach will be overflowing with foreign tourists. But now, they are almost abandoned, where some local residents line up for Covid-19 tests. On the way, reptiles can freely move around without fear of being hit by traffic. The absence of international tourists makes life difficult for local residents in Phuket. In mid-April, the Songkran festival is seen as a rehearsal for Phuket’s revival. Instead of foreign visitors, hotels try to attract wealthy locals who, if not for the pandemic, would have gone to Hokkaido (Japan) for a vacation or to shop in Paris (France). However, rather than preparing for a comeback as a tourist paradise, the Songkran festival seems to have spoiled the island’s chances of reopening in July. At the festival in Patong and other beaches in April, thousands of wealthy Thais party, wear bikinis more than masks. To them, Covid-19 is just a virus that can infect vegetable vendors or manual labor, not the upper class. However, subsequent viral test results showed how wrong their thinking was. Many local workers had to line up to receive food assistance due to loss of jobs during the epidemic. The outbreak of the epidemic after months of economic difficulties is also causing the majority of Phuket’s residents to suffer. Just watching a 3-year-old elephant nibble on a cane nearby, Jaturaphit Jandarot lay slowly swinging in a hammock, with nothing else to do. Before the pandemic, he and other elephant managers on the outskirts of Patong used to bring in more than 100 tourists a day, mostly from China. “I am delighted to know they will open Phuket to foreign tourists. Thais do not ride elephants, “Jandarot said. But no matter what the tourism situation, the elephants still need to be fed. . “Of course, we want to welcome people to Phuket, but when they do not defend themselves and bring Covid-19 here, I am somewhat angry,” said Huda Panan, a primary school teacher. Being a taxi driver, unemployed for a year. At one point, mosques in Phuket distributed food to the local people. The long line of people quickly ran out of food. “We can wait a little longer to improve Phuket situation, but not too long,” said Panan.

Reputation of the hero From the pier in Tam Thon Hiep commune, Can Gio district, we followed a canoe to the headquarters of Division 1 – a forest protection unit belonging to the Can Gio Mangrove Management Board (MB). In the midst of the immense water waves, talent Nguyen Hoang Phi, an employee of Can Gio Mangrove Management Board, skillfully allowed a canoe to turn the waves of Long Tau River towards the Dua River, soaring. The wind winds all four sides, taking a full breath, it feels like all the freshness, freshness of the sea, the green forest is going deep into the chest. Belonging to the next generation, he has never held a gun to fight in fierce war days, but when it comes to Rung Sac, Phi can never stop talking. Just right on the Long Tau river, he proudly: “This is a” graveyard “buried hundreds of enemy warships, including many military transport ships with a tonnage of tens of thousands of tons. Come is the river that contributes to the honor of the heroic Rung Sac “. The Standing Deputy Secretary of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Tran Luu Quang planted a souvenir tree at Rung Sac Square on April 27, on the occasion of the People’s Committee of the city announcing the Prime Minister’s decision to recognize Can Gio district meeting the new rural standard. 2020 Photo: HOANG Trieu In order to decipher this strategic position, in order to block the enemy’s military supply path, protect our supply forces, on April 15, 1966, the Regional Command decided to establish the Special Forest Military Zone. Sac (later renamed to Group 10 Special Forces of Rung Sac). Since then, Rung Sac is within the range of enemy destruction. Can Gio Mangrove Management Board is managing and protecting 34,713.64 ha of forest and forestry land, of which forest area accounts for 32,446.44 ha; allotted forest protection to 133 households and 11 units. Anh Phi said that in the early years of the resistance war against the US, the forest was dense with trees. But from 1964 onwards, more than 4 million liters of chemicals, 2 million tons of bombs and ammunition of the enemy fell down to devastate, making Rung Sac almost bare. The special mission combatants Rung Sac fell into poverty in the middle of the wild. However, thanks to the “natural la geotung” map with a series of canals, forest trees form favorable walls for guerrilla tactics, shielding our troops from the eyes of the enemy, along with our products. Heaven bestowed and the warfare inherent in the people, Rung Sac base was still not wavering. Residents of the forest After half an hour of floating, the canoe took us to Division 1 headquarters. It was a grade 4 house built on a triangular islet in Tam Thôn Hiệp commune overlooking the Dua River, surrounded by marshland. drown. This is the workplace and living place of 4 officers, employees, managers of 14 households and 28 employees of the subdivision. Mr. Tran Van Ho, Head of Division 1, picked us up and took us around the headquarters. What caught our eyes was the simple leaf kitchen, full of black pots and pans. Mr. Ho pointed to a wood stove hidden in the corner, and said that in the first wave, this wind was very rare. To save money, people only use firewood for cooking. In Can Gio forest, green vegetables are also precious because the soil here is almost completely acidic. If you want to grow vegetables, you need to invest in soil, manure and fresh water from the shore. However, the most precious is still fresh water. Only the rainwater tanks located around the Division 1 headquarters, Mr. Ho explained: “The water here is 120,000 VND / block, but sometimes there are boats changing. Therefore, the subdivision is equipped with these tanks to catch the water. rain water used. Many households around, when the water runs out, often stop by and ask, whoever wants to scoop as much as possible “. Telephone waves in Rung Sac are “luxury”. Where the waves can be caught, the forest guard leaves the phone “catchy” like this. Photo: TUYET TRINH Seeing that on a number of pillars in the kitchen where there are many horizontal plastic bottles, we asked curiously, Mr. Ho replied: “This is the phone holder to … catch the signal”. It turns out, not only lack of necessities, but also the telephone signal here is a “luxury”. Where you can catch the phone signal, you tie up bottles like this to mark it. Lack of and many things, Mr. Ho has been sticking to the forest for more than 20 years. “So attached, now I no longer think about going ashore looking for another job. Getting acquainted with the muddy smell, the taste of salty water here and I can not leave,” – he said, his eyes dazed. up steadiness, steadfastness. Mr. Ho took us to visit the people of the second generation who are continuing their parents to protect and preserve Sac Forest. The first place we visited was the family of Mr. Nguyen Hoang Phien – brother of Phi, the leader of Division 1 Self-Management Group. Session said that his father, Mr. Nguyen Van No, was one of the 10 first forest keepers in Rung Sac. In 2012, Phien succeeded his father, “partly due to a difficult family and unable to go to school; a part has attached blood and flesh to each tree, the wave of when my brothers were in a hurry to practice speaking” . The session emphasized that the most important job of contracted households here is forest patrol. Mr. Phien’s family is managing 109 hectares, on average, each month, he patrols 20-30 times regardless of day and night, including traveling alone and with self-management team. Patrols must be done regularly to promptly detect if forest loggers or wildlife have appeared. Leaving Mr. Phien’s house, we went to the forest post of Mr. Tran Minh Tung’s family. Canoes run in the middle of the immense Sac Forest, Mr. Ho shows us how to distinguish fish, mangrove, tiger, parrot … covered like “roofs”. In more than 32,447 hectares of forest today, there are over 60 species of plants, each having its own role in the “war” with the sea. He said: “In it, mangroves play the role of reinforcing the battlefield, because with the intricate roots, the tall and wide foliage, it can retain what is most necessary that water has brought to the earth”. Launching our eyes around, we were very pleased with the blue landscape. It is hard to imagine this is a land that once suffered from enemy bombs and chemical toxins decades ago. The green color of the forest has covered all traces of the war, making it difficult for visitors to imagine this is a land once destroyed by bombs. Talking about the revival of this dead land, it must be mentioned the efforts of tens of thousands of people from all over the districts of Saigon – Ho Chi Minh City, the core of the youth volunteer force has poured in here to plant trees and rejuvenate. forest creation. Among those people was Mrs. Dinh Thi Hong, the mother of Mr. Tran Minh Tung. Like the Phi – Phien brothers, Tung also had a childhood associated with Rung Sac – Can Gio. When he was a child, he went with his mother to plant forests. Growing up, thanks to planting forests, he met his wife today. Later, he and his wife stayed in Can Gio, replacing their mother to keep the forest. In the afternoon, the canoe took us back to the pier. The sudden beating in the deep water made us startled because we remembered the stories about the water in the past where many crocodiles were hiding and stalking this person. In the forest there are many dangers, poor living conditions. However, the residents that we have met or known through the story have never intended to leave the forest to live on shore. Many people stick to their parents’ career, others – like Tung and his wife – are unable to leave a peaceful life thanks to being surrounded by mother nature here. “We stick wherever we go, we can do everything together. That is happy enough” – Mr. Tung expressed. In the distance, looking at the identical mangrove forests that have opened up the direction of ecotourism development for Can Gio, we again silently thank the residents of Rung Sac who have been sticking to this day. The most fear is deforestation At night, driving a motorboat to patrol and guard the forest, there are all kinds of dangers waiting for unarmed people like Nguyen Hoang Phien if they accidentally face a logger or a wild beast. We asked Phien if he was afraid, he laughed: “The most fearful thing is the loss of the forest”. “In the past, following my father to the forest, I have many times encountered loggers and” lash out “on the river. Later, due to good propaganda and awareness raising for the people, there is no longer a phenomenon. cutting trees, deforestation “- Mr. Phien said.

At its 5,000-worker factory located in Shiga prefecture, Pansonic manufactures high-tech air conditioners with new features. It produces microscopic water droplets that fight against corona viruses and other viruses, bacteria and pollutants in the air. The technology that produces hydroxyl radicals, or atmospheric cleaners, is being used in cars, elevators, buses, and trains in Japan. Panasonic’s Ziaino air purifier sales tripled to more than $ 100 million during the Covid-19 period. The company sets a target of nearly $ 500 million in sales over the next five years. Ziaino has a high ability to disinfect and deodorize by creating hypochlorous acid. In an interview with Nikkei Asia, Mr. Shinada said that the company wants to leave the image of a disgraced television maker behind to focus on health-related products. The increase in sales is a sign of a happy revival for Panasonic’s 103-year-old home division. He does not hide his ambitions to become No. 1 globally or regionally in some areas. “We may not be as big as LG, but we can compete on profit margins. We want the rest of the world to know that Panasonic has been reborn, ”he told Nikkei Asia. This is the message Panasonic hopes investors will listen to. From April 1, Mr. Yuki Kusumi will replace Kazuhiro Tsuga as the company’s CEO after 9 years in office. During his tenure, Mr. Tsuga had to “clean up” the aftermath of the costly 2009 acquisition of Sanyo Electric, withdrew from the semiconductor industry, LCD panels, solar panels, and turned to components car, aviation. Panasonic wants to begin a new journey under the new CEO after he led a restructuring of the company’s auto division. Optimism is gradually spreading. Shares have risen more than 35% since the announcement of a leadership change in November 2020. On February 2, Panasonic raised its annual profit forecast for fiscal year 2020. The electric vehicle battery joint venture with Tesla is expected to be profitable for the first time since it opened in 2017. At the annual shareholder meeting in June 2020, Mr. Kusumi pointed out that many parts of Panasonic have low revenue. From the founder’s point of view, it means that Panasonic is not contributing as much to the community as it used to be. Konosuke Matsushita was the founder of Panasonic in 1918 without formal training. Mr. Matsushita once said that profit is the reward of giving to society, the mission of a manufacturer is to make products “cheap and plentiful like tap water”. Panasonic is the resurgent symbol of Japan in the post-war era. They manufacture and export household products like many other country companies. Although initially considered a second-class product, Panasonic has gradually gained international recognition for its quality. In the 1990s, Panasonic was a rival of Sony and Phillips in the global television market. In the mobile phone market, Panasonic also balances Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson. During the 12 months ending March 1991, they were the second most profitable company in Japan, behind only Toyota Motor and Asia’s leading consumer brand. But this giant did not adapt to the times and turned from a hero to the representative of Japan’s troubled industry. Over time, Panasonic lost its lead to Korean and Chinese rivals such as Samsung, LG, and TCL. The past two decades have been a battle that has turned the firm’s destiny. During most of that period, Panasonic’s operating profit margin remained below 5%. As of the end of December 2020, the rate was 4%, lower than 11% for Sony, 6.3% for Hitachi, and 5.1% for LG, according to data from Quick FactSet. Market value is only half of its 2006 peak and a quarter of Sony. Panasonic did not have a product that had great success on the world stage. While some are quite powerful, such as DVDs and video players with 17% market share, they are too small to support businesses that feed 250,000 people. In 2020, in Japan, Panasonic accounts for nearly 30% market share of household appliances, but globally only 2.5%, down from 2.8% in 2015. The company ranks 7, after Midea, Phillips, Haier, according to research firm Euromonitor. Even the market share of air conditioners, a strong product of Panasonic, in the past 5 years, only 4.1%, ranked 5th in the world, still according to Euromonitor data. Atul Goyal, director of research management at investment bank Jefferies, rated Panasonic “too diversified” and “too many products.” “I wish they focused first and reduced to a smaller scale, winning in 3 or 4 fields and developing them without looking anywhere else.” Other experts argue that the problem is more with marketing than with technology. In the global marketplace, marketing is important. Others commented that Panasonic in particular and Japanese electronics in general paid too much attention to technology without paying attention to convenience, ease of use, electronic features, and cost efficiency of the product. Panasonic is not alone in the transformation. Hitachi abandoned home appliances to focus on transportation and infrastructure. Sony re-formed an entertainment, image sensor and game consortium. Sharp sells itself to Taiwan’s Foxconn. New media reported that Panasonic is looking to acquire Blue Yonder, an AI company that monitors real-time supply chains and predicts demand, allowing for the optimization of inventory and logistics operations. Acquisition ambitions show that business services still play an important role in Panasonic’s bottom line, but once again questioned whether they are “overwhelmed”. After the news was released in March, the company’s shares fell 6%. Even Panasonic’s strategic partnership with Tesla hasn’t been smooth. Back in 2010, when Panasonic decided to invest $ 30 million in a startup, the electric car market was small and uncertain. In 2014, the company agreed to participate in the development of Tesla’s electric vehicle “big factory”. However, Panasonic hesitated at the idea of ​​expanding in 2018. It was not until August 2020 that they decided to step forward. The hesitation angered investors as Tesla turned the offer to other suppliers such as CATL in China, LG Chem in Korea and began to develop batteries on its own. According to analyst Goyal, Panasonic cannot even focus on a “good food” business. They should have invested more heavily, took risks, and actively expanded. In the context of a change in leadership, Panasonic adjusted and put the household division at the center. The department head believes they are regaining their “fighting spirit”. He admits that Panasonic needs to focus on areas of strength. “Working for people is this company’s original mission. That is what we want to focus on. Mr. Shinada emphasized that Panasonic must cut costs to make their prices more affordable to many foreign users. The decision to move the global home appliances division to China is an example. In China, Panasonic QR code-operated smart lockers are available at convenience stores and cafes in major cities, including the HeyTea tea chain, to serve customers without need. contact. These cabinets were installed at 98 HeyTea stores last year and are expected to grow to more than 500 this year, according to Tetsuro Homma, CEO of Panasonic China and Northeast Asia. Panasonic accounts for 30% of the Chinese frozen food display market with sales of around $ 500 million. Mr. Homma believes that the scale can be tripled, equivalent to the US market, which Panasonic is serving through the Hussmann branch. However, Panasonic’s business in China has never been easy. Its sales still stand at $ 7 billion, equivalent to 2% market share in the home appliance market, even though it was the first Japanese company to enter the country in 1987. According to Mr. Shinada, Southeast Asia is where Panasonic has a larger market share and a more solid foothold. He pledged to spend a lot of effort revitalizing the home appliances business in Southeast Asia like China. Panasonic still has to improve many things. Some analysts say that the recent rally in stock prices was purely due to the overall economy going up, not on the efforts of the company itself. CEO Tsuga admitted that when he revealed his retirement plan in November 2020. “It is very difficult to achieve growth with profits.” He places his hopes on Kusumi’s successor because “he can make harsh decisions even when others are reluctant to accept it”.

He emphasized that during the dark months of the COVID-19 pandemic, people should not lose hope and pay attention to the vulnerable in society. It is expected that during Easter (April 4) – one of the most important holidays of the year for Christians, Pope Francis will celebrate the traditional blessing “Urbi et Orbi” for the city.

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

With the number of tourists booking a booming tour not only on the occasion of April 30, May 1 and summer tours, Da Nang tourism and travel businesses are actively building new products, unique tours, adding more service … to prepare to welcome guests. Facing the positive signal of the revival of the tourism industry, Son Tra – the largest night market in Da Nang – bustles again after a long period of unsteady activities, small traders “struggling” to stick to the COVID-19 . As noted by PV VTC News, at the end of March and early April 2021, the atmosphere at Son Tra night market was bustling again, especially on weekends. If only 1 month ago, each night, there were only a few dozen booths of small merchants with lights hanging on to “relieve sadness”, now it would be crowded. Mr. Do Ngoc Thi Ca – Director of Da Nang DHTC Company, the unit that manages and operates the Son Tra night market – said that the impact of COVID-19 epidemic caused the number of visitors to the night market to decline seriously. In 2020, the market will only operate for about 4 months. However, the first half of March 2021 has been very prosperous up to now. Usually about 60% of the number of stores are active on weekdays, about 90% on weekends. According to Mr. Cao Tri Dung, Chairman of Da Nang Tourism Association, this local tourism business community is ready to reopen all services. “We are committed to making tourists see an always new Da Nang,” said Dung. Son Tra night market food stall is bustling again when domestic tourists from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces in the country are choosing Da Nang as the destination. Check-in point at Son Tra night market attracts many people to have fun, take souvenir photos every night, especially on weekend nights. The revived night market, not only does small business Da Nang light up to serve the people and tourists, but also attracts foreigners to register to participate in business. “In the coming time, Son Tra night market will rearrange the products, supplementing many industries that are not available, with the spearhead of typical products from Quang Nam, Da Nang, Gia Lai. The Market Management Board will pilot the “Standard Specialty” booth with many combo full of specialties, reasonably designed to be gifts, packed in novel ways, fully packed at the production place, with brand logos. brand to create trust for customers. goods “, Mr. Ca said.

Fortunately, the second half of the 2,600-ton submarine, 73 meters long, displaced the water, remained undamaged after the fire. And in the difficult emergence of wisdom, French naval officials had the idea of ​​pairing the rest with its “sister” – the Saphir submarine. Perle nuclear submarine intact. Photo: Reddit Although decommissioned in 2019, and waiting to be dismantled, the Saphir front section remains relatively stable in construction. Therefore, French authorities determined that the ship could still be combined with the back of Perle to form a new attack submarine. Perle was subsequently relocated from Toulon to Cherbourg in December of last year. The workers cut it in half and the Saphir. According to French naval contractor Naval Group, earlier this month, the second half of the Perle and the front half of the Saphir were put on “conveyor” at the shipyard in Cherbourg, so that they can be carefully calibrated and welded. together. Perle submarines after being burned by fire nearly half. Photo: Marine Nationale A Naval Group spokesperson said assembly will continue to be completed in the coming months. The complete submarine, still named Perle, will be about 1.5 meters longer than its “predecessors” thanks to an additional “intersection zone”. The intersection zone on the new version of the Perle submarine will add a bit of living space for about 70 sailors operating inside the ship. Digital model According to Naval Group, all assemblies are simulated using 3D digital methods before being applied to a real ship. This is the effort spent more than 100,000 hours of technical research and 250,000 hours of manual work by more than 300 technicians and shipbuilders. Two pieces of the Perle submarine after being cut in half at the Cherbourg Shipyard, France. Photo: AP Franck Ferrer, Director of Naval Group Services, said in January the new version is expected to return to Toulon by the end of this year, for further engineering and upgrade of the combat system. . The ship will rejoin the French Navy fleet in early 2023. “The implementation of the project for these cases, namely the repairing and joining of parts of two sister ships together, was the first thing Naval Group did in modern history,” said Ferrer. said. Rare luck The Perle was not the first instance of two parts of two different ships being assembled together. According to Thomas Shugart, a retired commander of the American attack submarine, the US Navy did the same thing by replacing the damaged bow of the USS San Francisco with the bow of the soon-to-be retired USS Honolulu. The process of assembling two-part Perle submarines with Saphir. Video: Le Télégramme However, the Perle submarine can “revive” is still considered a rare luck compared to similar cases in the past. In 2012, a disgruntled worker caused a serious fire on the USS Miami submarine, while the ship was undergoing repairs at the port of Portsmouth, Maine (USA). The ship then became a waste product due to the high cost of restoration. By 2020, the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard is also damaged by fire while being upgraded in San Diego port (USA). After determining it would take up to $ 3.2 billion and seven years to repair, the USS Bonhomme Richard was finally removed from service with the US Navy.

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic last year, traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine have played an important role in clinical treatment and have also provided new opportunities for the development of Chinese medicine companies. At the beginning of this year, the General Office of the State Council issued a notice on several policy measures to speed up the development of Chinese medicine characteristics, injecting development momentum into the Chinese medicine industry at the policy level.

Regarding the current market environment faced by the Chinese medicine industry, Jack Ma analyzed in his speech that as Western patent medicines face a decline in gross profit after “purchasing in quantities”, Chinese medicine will become a special supplement in the future. Regarding the development of traditional Chinese medicine, Ma Yun summed it up as “four regressions”: classic return, ecological return, quality return, and academic return. At the same time, the future development of traditional Chinese medicine will be a “classic road to large varieties”.

For Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical, the company began to study how to promote classic Chinese medicines in 2019, and proposed a “3 minutes to explain classics” in 2020 to empower product sales and retail. Jack Ma explained that the ultimate goal of “Explaining Classics in 3 Minutes” is to clarify the advantages and disease types of classical Chinese medicine in a particularly easy-to-remember and focused way, and to re-explain the essence of Chinese medicine.

In the process of “telling classics in 3 minutes”, Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical established a classic Chinese medicine value evaluation model, and conducted standardized research on the question of “how classic Chinese medicines come from”, including technology and raw materials from multiple perspectives. Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical also studied classic Chinese medicine with experts from various fields, repositioning classic products from the perspective of respecting history and digging into the ancestors, and proposed the “five parts and sixteen methods.” Ma Yun said that Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical has studied classic brands in terms of product positioning, theoretical basis, disease analysis, medication plan, dosage form notes, etc., reflecting the classic value of traditional Chinese medicine.

Compared with the past talk about function and main treatment, Zhongjing Wanxi Pharmaceutical has made innovations in the form of educating consumers. It has launched picture books, reading books, videos, shorthand cards, etc., which vividly interpret Chinese patent medicines in multiple forms. Jack Ma said that the purpose of “telling classics in 3 minutes” is to enable employees to speak and empower customers; customers can use it, consumers can accept it, and serve as a drain for the company.

Few days ago, the Little Monsters (Lady Gaga’s fandom name) has launched a campaign called Buy ARTPOP on iTunes (roughly translated: Buy an album ARTPOP on the iTunes platform). This movement was enthusiastically responded by fans of “Monster Mother” and the music-loving community. The hastag as #buyARTPOPoniTunes and #ARTPOP simultaneously caused storms on Twitter and was in the top flourishing for many hours.

Despite the flop, “ARTPOP” is still a masterpiece in the hearts of fans.

Needless to say, “8 year old album” has excellently reached # 1 on many iTunes Album charts worldwide, including Vietnam. In the US market, ARTPOP reached # 1 on the iTunes Pop Album chart and is currently at # 2 on the following iTunes Album chart Fearless (Taylor’s Version).

“ARTPOP” reached the 1st place on Vietnam’s iTunes Album chart.

In the US iTunes Album Chart, “ARTPOP” is second only to “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)”.

When he saw the fan holding a “big” party to honor his “brainchild”, the owner ARTPOP Can’t help but feel emotional sharing my feelings on Twitter. Specifically, Lady Gaga said: “The campaign ‘Buy ARTPOP album on iTunes platform’ called for ARTPOP album Vol.2 has made me feel very grateful. Doing this album feels like heart surgery. She used to be desperate and in pain and just wanted to put all of her energy into electronic music because she believed it was the most powerful remedy to help her “close the painful door” that she had to endure. “

Gaga greatly appreciated the “Buy ARTPOP album on iTunes” movement.

The owner hit Rain On Me Also share more: “I also became more relieved when I released ARTPOP. Thank you all for organizing something that seemed to have ended. We believe that ARTPOP has always been at the forefront of its time. Sometimes it will take a few years for the artists to know. My Little Monsters have noticed that too. Always be yourself, love you. “

The good news is DJ White Shadow, the main music producer for ARTPOPAfter learning that she thanked her fans, she spoke to Lady Gaga. He and Lady Gaga will meet and discuss with each other whether to implement the project ARTPOP ACT II or not. He did not promise to make the project a reality, but this will be good news because finally after 8 years of planning the album. Vol.2 is also mentioned.

On DJ White Shadow’s Instagram Stories, he was “delighted” that “ARTPOP” reached # 1 on the iTunes Album chart in 27 countries.

ARTPOP is Lady Gaga’s 3rd studio album, released at the end of 2013. The album is said to be the “step backwards” of the vocalist Always Remember Us This Way because the album was not very successful academically or commercially. Many people also believe that she is quite “one color” and refuses to change herself when she continues to abuse vibrant songs to become popular. But behind that story, “Monster Mother” suffered both physical and mental pain. She had a hip fracture during the tour Born This Way Ball, album ARTPOP is the process of healing herself through music.

Electronic music has partly helped heal Lady Gaga’s mental health.

ACTPOP ACT II (also known as ARTPOP Vol.2) is a project where she has a secret to come out if the above album is successful. However, Gaga mentioned the Vol.2 album only once and was no longer hearing any more. For fans who love Gaga in the electronic music genre, this project is always in their “wish list”.

After 8 years then finally the Little Monsters also got what I wanted. It was to regain justice for an album that was supposed to “end her career” by Lady Gaga. With the message “Dance through the pain”, ARTPOP Somehow it helped heal mental health. This is a very worthwhile electronic album to experience and maybe in the future we will have a similar work born. Let’s wait and see!

Thus, Hong Linh Ha Tinh is the 4th professional football team led by the Nghe An strategist.

Immediately after news coach Pham Minh Duc broke up Hong Linh Ha TinhMost of the fans predict that coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will be the new “captain” of the team that is standing at the last position on the stage 1 rankings. V.League 2021. Because at that time, the strategist born in 1977 had just left Quang Nam and was once impressed as a “firefighter” at the Saigon Club, Thanh Hoa and Quang Nam, the team currently playing in the First Division.

Remember, the first time Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong being “hot seated” is at the beginning of the return leg of V.League 2018. Due to the poor performance of the Saigon Club (losing 2 consecutive matches to HAGL and SLNA), the leaders of the team at Thong Nhat Stadium have decided to replace head coach Phan Van Tai Em with assistant Nguyen Thanh Cong. This is a bold “move” by the leaders of the Saigon Club, because the youngest son of former coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh does not have much experience in training in the V.League arena.

However, it did not take long for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong to clear the skepticism from experts and fans of the Saigon football team. Under the “shaping hand” of former SLNA striker, the Saigon Club’s style has been gradually perfected. At the end of the V.League 2018, teachers and coaches Nguyen Thanh Cong won 31 points and finished in 8th place, 7 points more than the team that had to compete in the play-off match of Nam Dinh (24 points in Nam Dinh). .

A year later, in the next season led Saigon ClubCoach Nguyen Thanh Cong shows his ability to direct more clearly. With the squad quality not having many positive changes, the team at Thong Nhat Stadium still performed a very uncomfortable game. Thanks to that, after 26 rounds, the Saigon Club won 36 points (5 points more than V.League 2018) and finished 5th, standing above famous teams such as SLNA, HAGL, SHB Da. Nang, Quang Nam or Thanh Hoa.

Unfortunately for family reasons, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong had to leave the Saigon club to return to his hometown. It was not until the first stage of V.League 2020 passed 3 rounds, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong “re-exported” the pitch. Receiving the invitation of the election of De, the strategist from Nghe An agreed to help Thanh Hoa overcome the crisis. At the time coach Nguyen Thanh Cong took over the “hot seat” left by coach Fabio Lopez, the Thanh team still had not won any points at the first stage of V.League 2020 (lost all 3 matches).

The appearance of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong completely changed the face of Thanh Hoa. From a group of exhausted and frail under coach Fabio Lopez, suddenly the Thanh team became a formidable opponent. Before having to carry the luggage to leave Thanh (disagreeing with the election of De), coach Nguyen Thanh Cong helped Hoang Dinh Tung and his teammates win 14 points (4 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses), and at the same time exit the danger zone (get up to 8th place).

Not long ago, when returning home, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong received a “call for help” from Quang Nam’s leadership. At that time, the Quang origin team was also buried in the last position on the V.League 2020 stage 2 rankings. Chairman Nguyen Hao’s aim is to hope coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will bring the home team of Tam Stadium. Safe landing period. Despite great efforts, the victories against Nam Dinh, SHB Da Nang and Hai Phong still could not help Quang Nam “escape”.

Instead of leaving the “shipwreck” Quang Nam to seek opportunities in a team playing in the V.League, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong chose to continue working with Dinh Thanh Trung, Huynh Tan Sinh, Nguyen Anh. Hung … conquered the promotion ticket. But then the adventure of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong at Tam Ky Stadium also stopped, when Quang Nam did not win any victory after the first 4 matches in the first stage of the National Championship 2021 (draw 2, lost 2). .

Just finished handing over the work to his successor, Coach Duong Hong Son, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong’s cell phone received a call from the Board of Directors of Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Before the enthusiastic invitation of the head of the team “Hong Mountain”, the 44-year-old strategist agreed to sit in the “hot chair” that once belonged to coach Pham Minh Duc. A rather brave decision of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, in the current situation (Hong Linh Ha Tinh is standing in the “book team” position on the V.League 2021 stage 1 rankings, with only 6 points).

Witnessing the journey of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong over the years, football experts and fans of the country have called him “welder” – nickname of coach Claudio Ranieri – who used to lead football teams. age like Parma, Cagliari, Fiorentina, Juventus, AS Roma, Napoli, Inter Milan, Sampdoria (Italy), Valencia, Atletico Madrid (Spain), Chelsea, Leicester City, Fulham (England), Monaco, Nantes (France). .. The reason coach Claudio Ranieri is called “welder guy”, because the moment he takes over the “hot chair”, most teams are in a form crisis.

Wait and see, whether “the welder Vietnamese version” – Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong can “revive” a Hong Linh Ha Tinh who is “clinically dead” or not?
