Some details exist to prevent counterfeiting. Others appear for the purpose of decoration, creating unique values ​​for each brand. Breguet If you own a watch from the Breguet brand, try to find the signature on the dial. Signature is added to prevent counterfeiting. In the 18th century, Breguet watches were popular with the elite. It gradually becomes a luxury accessory. To limit the appearance of counterfeit goods, the brand has engraved the founder’s signature on the dial. This signature appears only when light is illuminated at an oblique angle. To this day, the signature is still the hallmark that distinguishes real Breguet watches from fake. Buyers can be found near 6 or 12 o’clock. It has become the exclusive symbol of the brand. Blancpain Unlike Breguet, Blancpain does not leave its mark on watch models. Its logo appears on enamel dials on some products. For the brand, the enamel dial is a work of art. Therefore, Blancpain takes it very seriously. The “JB” on the Blancpain watches is an abbreviation of Jehan-Jacques Blancpain – the brand’s founder. This sign is the two letters “JB” usually engraved at 4 o’clock, 5 o’clock, 7 o’clock or 8 o’clock. This is an abbreviation of Jehan-Jacques Blancpain – the founder of Blancpain. It is difficult for users to identify this sign. You need to tilt a certain angle to find its position. Omega The Omega brand has created an extremely small Ω mark in the center of the watch model. This started in 1950 and continues to this day. However, people are still unclear about the purpose and true meaning of the icon. The meaning of the symbol in the center of the Omega dial is unknown. Rolex Rolex is the most counterfeited watch brand in the world. Therefore, the company uses secret signs to combat this situation. In the past, the brand often engraved the serial number on the case. However, this approach is considered too simple. Therefore, the company decided to engrave the words “ROLEXROLEXROLEX” on the inside of the frame and add the serial number at 6 o’clock. To distinguish authentic and fake products, the Swiss brand has printed the words “ROLEXROLEXROLEX” with the dashed crown. In addition, at 6 o’clock, the company engraved the crown logo with laser dashes. This symbol is very difficult to find and is one of the criteria for verifying real goods. However, these marks appear only on watches manufactured after 2000. Many fanatics regularly hunt for Rolex watches do not have the mark on. These products are mostly antiques, with high collectible value. Grand Seiko In addition to being anti-counterfeiting, some brands add logos to create their own distinctiveness. On the dial of Grand Seiko, you can see an 8 or 5-pointed star. The 8-pointed star indicates that the dial, hands, or chronograph scale of the watch are made of a special material. Meanwhile, the 5-pointed star symbol indicates the error trend of the watch no more than 5 seconds / year. In addition, the brand has some impressive designs. In the watch, the buyer can see the outline on the dial that resembles the figure of Mount Fuji. Grand Seiko uses distinctive symbols to make her mark.

Chef Angel Leon is working on separating seaweed seeds for food. Photo: Time According to Aponiente’s research, lab tests have revealed the enormous potentials of seaweed seeds: Specifically, this seaweed seed is gluten-free, high in omega-6 and -9 fatty acids and high in content. 50% more protein than rice grains. And the most important thing is that this marine plant can grow all over the ocean field, giving normal yield without any conditions like fresh water or fertilizer. The discovery by Spanish three-star Michelin-certified chef Angel Leon made him wonder that the sea meadows stretching across the turquoise water near his home in Cadiz Bay in the past, are now This is an extremely valuable plant. The 44-year-old chef has become even more famous when he is known as one of the most innovative chefs in the world for his efforts to study the nutritional ingredients in seagrass or eel. considered “the rice of the sea”. Thanks to the culinary instinct that has been honed over the years at the famous restaurant and food research firm Aponiente, Mr. Leon is continuing to research and analyze each ingredient in the seeds of this seaweed that soon becomes. the new food of humanity. This discovery opened up the opportunity for three-star Michelin chef Angel Leon to continue on the mission of processing regular eel grass as a potential superfood. “In a world that is three-quarters water, it can fundamentally transform the way we think about the oceans. This will probably be the start of a new concept of the sea as a large garden in the future, “Mr. Leon said. If you first hear this, being told by a chef will be immediately skeptical. But in Spain, Mr. Leon has been known as el Chef del Mar (chef of the sea), has long crossed the boundaries of seafood from tinkering with research and processing of marine plants. discard and turn them into delicious food at restaurants near Cadiz Bay. Close-up of seaweed, also known as eel is seeding. Photo: Aponiente “When I founded Aponiente 12 years ago, my goal was to open a restaurant serving everything that was still considered worthless in the sea. The first years were really bad because no one understood why I went to serve customers with products that no one wanted to use, ”Mr. Leon said. However, he did not give up, the chef continued to pursue “the menu of the unknown of the sea” and his efforts were recorded in 2010 with the first Michelin star. . And by the time his restaurant Aponiente won its third Michenlin star in 2017, Mr. Leon has become an important, defaulted player in the Spanish cuisine as the “chef at the forefront. in an attempt to reposition the way humans treat the oceans “. What Mr. Leon and his colleagues call eel algae seeds “sea grain” or “rice of the sea” in order to continue to deepen and expand research on this issue, is still one of the ambitious projects. most of him so far. Climate change superfood After discovering eel seeds by accident in 2017, Mr. Leon began a search for any documents mentioning the count of eel seeds used as food. The experimental model of growing seaweed for seeds in the Cadiz saline swamp is highly appreciated by environmental scientists. Photo: Aponiente Fortunately, he found an article from 1973 in a scientific journal stating that the seeds of the seaweed eel are an important part of the diet of the Seri, an indigenous ethnic group in Sonora, Mexico. And that is also the only known case of this sea grain, used as a food source for humans. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Leon’s next plan was to consider developing this plant to be harvested in the current Cadiz Bay area, a plant that once grew naturally well before has now been harvested. The narrow area combined with the impacts of humans and climate change makes sea meadows in general decline sharply every year. Mr. Leon personally questioned the researchers at Cadiz University and the local government conducted a pilot eel-seaweed project in three subdivisions of 0.30 ha of salty swamp to become a place where he called “sea garden”. Juan Martín, the environmental director of Aponiente, said it took up to 18 months after batches of eel seaweed seeds to be finished and Leon performed the final tests on his own. “Then one day he asked me to come in a very serious voice and said, ‘Juan, I want to try some cereal because I don’t know what it tastes like.’ And unbelievably, he jumped into this project blindly, pocketing money to find a way to turn this sea grain into different menus, “Mr. Martin said. Mr. Leon says: It’s interesting that you eat eel seeds with the hull tires intact, like brown rice, it has a bit of the taste of the sea. But when the husk is separated, the salty taste of the sea is gone. When he cooked it, he found that the rice tasted very good, and when it was cooked, the rice took two minutes longer and simmered for a longer time, the softer it would be. The positive impact of the sea eel restoration project does not stop there, this seagrass field also has the ability to capture carbon 35 times faster than the tropical rain forest. They are described by the World Conservation Union (WWF) as an “incredible tool” in combating the climate crisis, because seagrasses absorb 10% of the ocean’s carbon each year. although it only covers 0.2% of the seabed area. The good news about Chef Leon and his team was immediately “turbulent” around the world. “When I first heard about it, I said ‘it was interesting’,” said Robert Orth, professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, who has spent more than six decades studying seagrasses. What this chef did “. According to Professor Orth, seagrass has been used as roofing material, insulation and even for packaging seafood, but it has never been grown as food. It is a challenging and mysterious initiative. The wild sea meadows have been dying at an alarming rate in recent decades, while very few researchers have been able to successfully breed and develop seagrass varieties. However, with Leon’s first “sea garden” project, the average yield potential could reach about 3.5 tons per hectare. Although the yield of this eel is only one-third of what humans can achieve with rice, it is valuable that the team has shown the potential for low-cost and friendly farming. environment. “If nature gives you 3,500 kg of food without doing anything – no antibiotics, no fertilizers, only seawater and waves – then we can recommend planting plants. New food – sea cereals ”. Seaweed seeds are considered a superfood in the future because they contain 50% more protein than rice and this plant stores carbon much faster than tropical rain forests .. Photo: Aponiente Now another project is being pushed to expand the scale of the growing eel seaweed to 5 hectares and every step is carefully monitored, in the hope that researchers will better understand the conditions – from temperature. water to salinity – which this new crop needs to thrive. Mr. Leon and his colleagues envision their project to one day go global, paving the way for people to exploit the potential of this new crop to promote aquatic ecosystems, to feed. ocean populations and effectively combat climate change. “We have opened up a window,” said Léon. I believe it is a new way to feed humanity “.

According to Ho Chi Minh City Women’s Newspaper, in the hope of increasing the value of pineapple trees, reducing the environmental pollution load after each harvest, Mr. Nguyen Van Hanh (31 years old, in Tan Thang commune, Quynh Luu district, Nghe province An) decided to quit his job as a ship captain with a salary of 30 million VND / month to go back to his hometown to grow pineapple (pineapple, pineapple).

Many people want to buy back some of the rare money he owns, but he refuses. The coin with the “huge” serial number and the most expensive price I ever sold was the $ 100 note, the eighth quarter series. He exchanged this note for a Honda SH car. The smart home from the garbage can be removed and assembled like a lego game Dan Viet newspaper said, after 22 years of research, Mr. Phan Trong Hoan (Ben Luc district, Long An) has successfully designed a house made entirely from rice husks and plastic waste, 64m2 wide. After more than 7 years of going into use this house is still intact paint color, not waterproof, degraded. Currently, Mr. Hoan has 10 houses made of plastic waste, present in many provinces and cities across the country. In particular, there is a house located right in the earthquake but still standing, not affected. Notably, houses made from rice husks and plastic waste can be removed, moved to a different location for assembly, or recyclable. “No need for reinforcement, no mortar, no foundation, the house is assembled according to pre-designed edges and can be removed to go anywhere,” said Mr. Hoan. After the first house made of rice husks and plastic waste was completed in 2013, the NOIP granted a utility solution patent for this unique process by Mr. Hoan. Strange lotus species can “piggyback” adults in Dong Thap Possessing a simple architecture, not superficial, but Phuoc Kien Pagoda still attracts a large number of visitors to visit thanks to a strange lotus garden with “huge” foliage, “carrying” the whole person weighing 100kg. Giant lotus leaves are “carried” by adults (Photo: Nguyen Tung Viet / Dan Tri). This giant lotus species is a rare plant native to the Amazon region, South America. They appear in the pond at Phuoc Kien pagoda since 1992. Due to the soil here, this lotus variety is growing very well. Large, thick lotus leaves. In particular, this lotus variety can change its leaf size astonishingly depending on the water season. In the dry season, the lotus leaves are only about 1-1.5m. In the flooding season, the leaves are flooded, so they grow more, reaching 2.5m in diameter. There are individual trees, leaves up to 3m wide. The edge of the lotus leaf is 3-5cm higher than the water surface, and its shape resembles a sports hat. Thanks to its large size, this lotus species can “carry” an adult weighing about 70-80kg but only lightly scratch the water surface. Hanh Nguyen (Synthetic)

In 1971, a man who claimed to be Dan Cooper stole a passenger plane from Oregon to Seattle, USA. In Seattle, he agreed to release 36 passengers in exchange for a cash amount of $ 200,000. After receiving the money, he asked the crew for the plane to take off south and then suddenly parachute with all the ransom money. Since then, no one has seen this man again, according New York Times.

After 45 years, in 2016, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) decided not to pursue the search for Cooper anymore. Until now, his whereabouts are still a big question.

Portrait of DB Cooper. Photo: FBI.

Nobody knows who Cooper really is or someone who does, but refuses to speak. The FBI describes Cooper as an “information-free” object. At the time of the daring robbery, he seemed to be over 40 years old. If yes and now Cooper is still alive, then he is over 90 years old. In the media, he is often referred to as “DB Cooper”.

On November 24, 1971, “Dan Cooper” approached the Northwest Orient Airlines ticketing counter in Portland, Oregon, wearing a business suit and carrying a suitcase. The man paid for a one-way ticket on a flight numbered 305 to Seattle and this was the beginning of “one of the biggest unknown disappearances in the history of the FBI.”

Cooper was described by witnesses as a “quiet” man. He ordered a glass of bourbon and soda while he waited for the plane to take off. When the plane was in the air, after three o’clock in the afternoon, from seat 18C, he handed the flight attendant a small piece of paper saying he had a bomb in his suitcase. The hostess takes note of his request, 4 sets of parachutes and $ 200,000 in cash including $ 20 dollars, and then passes it to the captain.

In Seattle, Cooper releases passengers for money and parachutes. When the exchange ended, he made the crew take off again, heading for Mexico City. Cooper also ordered the aircraft not to fly more than 10,000 feet (3,048m).

After 8:00 pm, while the plane was somewhere between Seattle and Reno, he suddenly jumped off the tail of the plane with the ransom in a wooded area and disappeared. All that’s left is just his tie with a clip.

The mission to life of “Dan Cooper” is the subject of lucrative exploitation of American popular culture. It is so dramatic that it has become a source of writing inspiration for many authors, directors and composers. But unanswered questions must be patched up by guesswork.

In 1980, a boy found a rotten $ 20 bank on the Columbia River worth $ 5,800 matching the ransom serial number assigned to Cooper by the authorities. If measured in terms of inflation, the ransom of $ 200,000 in 1971 would be equivalent to about $ 1.2 million today. It is not clear what happened with the remaining money.

The FBI said it interviewed hundreds of people, followed countless leads across the country, and scrutinized the plane for evidence. Five years after the robbery, the FBI examined 800 suspects. Like newspaper New York Times reported in 2011, FBI files on the case to more than 12 meters long, cataloging more than 1,000 suspects.

At one point the FBI believed that the jump killed Cooper. At that time, snow covered the mountains in the area, which was unfavorable for any skydiving, especially at night. It was a cold night, the clothes Cooper wore was not warm enough and since then, no notes of money given to Cooper have been circulated by the authorities.

One of the suspects questioned is Richard Floyd McCoy. He committed a similar robbery and also escaped with even five months after Cooper’s flight. But McCoy was identified as not Cooper for not matching the descriptions provided by the flight attendant and for other undisclosed reasons.

The plane robbery carried out by DB Cooper is a prime example of the beginning of the era of hijacking. By the mid-1970s, at least 150 aircraft had been robbed in the US alone.

The FBI said that even if it no longer pursues the investigation, “countless items” that it has collected over the years will still be preserved for historic purposes at the agency’s headquarters. Residents can still contact the FBI if there are specific leads.
