Then add the radish and cook for another 10 minutes, then season to taste. Snake hot pot has an irresistible delicious taste.

(Illustration) Unlike ordinary pork sausages, Cham sausages require ingenuity and sophistication from raw materials to processing. The outer shell is beef intestine, so that the dish has a tough, sweet and strange taste. The stuffing inside must also be pieces of shredded meat from the bones, so it has an attractive aroma. After that, people will deodorize with finely chopped ginger. (Illustration) And yet, a sausage with the right taste must have the fat and the fat. The best type of fat is sa fat, lard to make the dish more moist. The perfect ratio would be two parts meat one part fat.

Once coming to this land, you should not miss the opportunity to experience the unique taste of beef sausages.

Humans and the fear of snakes exist in the genetics Few people know that, ophidiophobia or the horrible obsession with snakes and round, long, legless animals in general is the most common fear in human society (1/3 of humanity is afraid of snakes). In addition, scientists have confirmed: Most primates have inherited the instinct to… be afraid and run away from snakes. The reason, prehistoric people were so afraid of snakes because they had to face giant carnivorous reptiles, not hostages like now. First is Titanoboa cerrejonensis : Nearly 13m long, weighing about 1 ton, is considered the largest snake species discovered by man However, some studies indicate that Titanoboa was a piscivore rather than a megafauna-killer. So, is it a giant but gentle animal? Titanoboa cerrejonensis. Before humans left records of Titanoboa, the title of giant snake was given Gigantophis garstini They appeared about 20 million years after Titanoboa in Africa with a length of about 11m. Gigantophis’ favorite food was the ancestor of the modern world’s elephants. Gigantophis garstini. Madtsoia madagascariensis: Giant snake that specializes in eating dinosaurs Gigantophis’ close relative is Madtsoia madagascariensis , another giant snake that lived in Madagascar for several million years during the age of the dinosaurs. They lived with iconic dinosaurs like Majungasaurus , Masiakasaurus and Rahonavis as well as giant frogs Beelzebufo . And perhaps, Madtsoia is also more than enough to eat all the dinosaurs mentioned above. Madtsoia madagascariensis. Both Madtsoia and Gigantophis belong to the ancient family of giant snakes known as the Madtsoiids. Both of these genera lived long ago, but some survived until recently in Australia. Until Wonambi naracoortensis , a snake more than 6m long has inspired the legend of the Rainbow Snake of primitive Australians This size seems modest compared to the previous monsters, but it is still significantly larger when compared to the Anaconda python. Furthermore, over time it has coexisted with giant kangaroos, marsupial lions and primitive Australians – it may have inspired the Rainbow Serpent legend. mythical animals of Australia). Rainbow Snake, one of the mythical animals of Australia. Yurlunggur camfieldensis , a reptile that the Yurlungur aborigines believe is made of bronze, specializes in hunting virgins Living in the same period and place as Wonambi is a species Yurlunggur camfieldensis. They are named after the Yurlungur Aboriginal mythology – which tells of a bronze snake excited by the smell of a young girl’s menstrual blood that would come to eat her and her family. Yurlunggur is said to be up to 8m long and is a self-burrowing aquatic species. They will hunt underwater but live in burrows with soft ground. Though non-poisonous, the terrifying force of the contractions would kill their prey, similar to most pythons today. Yurlunggur camfieldensis. Palaeophiidae, Giant water snake up to 10m long, specializing in eating whales and prehistoric sharks Come to another ancient genus of giant snakes, Palaeophiidae of the genus Palaeophiid . Palaeophiidae evolved over 70 million years ago, and like the Madtsoiids, they survived the K-PG Great Extinction. Similar to modern sea snakes, Palaeophiidae lived entirely in water, only much larger. According to researcher Gary Meaney, Palaeophis colossaeus New is the scariest of all – it can hunt whales, giant sharks in the Eocene waters. It is very large, up to 10m long. Palaeophis colossaeus. Pterosphenus , a giant warm-blooded snake, much more active than a cold-blooded reptile Another branch of the Palaeophiid genus, Pterosphenus , which is also horrifying in size: 7m. In addition, these are giant sea snakes that have the ability to reproduce early and have a warm-blooded metabolism, making them more active than many other slow reptile monsters. Pterosphenus. To the giant, tens of meters long reptiles that dominate the earth During the Pliocene (geological period), did the Australian continent exist the giant python Bluff Downs or Liasis dubungila – one of the few prehistoric animals with a common name. It is more than 10m long and is considered the largest snake ever of this continent. Bluff Downs or Liasis dubungila. In prehistoric times, branches of the python family also gained horological dimensions. One of them is Chubutophis grandis, estimated at 22m in length. And if that’s true, Titanoboa will lose the title of the largest snake in history. They lived in the Miocene with a host of giant South American creatures: Elephant-sized Caimans, giant gharials, giant tigers and giant turtles… Chubutophis grandis. Finally, let’s come to the largest venomous snake known: Laophis , closely resembles the poisonous Gabon viper, which lived on the Greek islands during the Pliocene. According to scientists, it weighs twice as much as the largest venomous snakes of the modern world, more than 4m long. This size has nothing to do with the reptiles listed above, but they are not poisonous… Laophis. As such, Titanoboa was the only nightmare snake that slithered around in ancient times. It may be the biggest, but it’s probably not the scariest.

As a country with a tropical climate, Vietnam has many different types of snakes, many of which are poisonous. The way of identification is mainly based on external characteristics such as color, head and body shape, tooth structure. Here are some common types of venomous snakes in Vietnam: first. horned viper, Scientific name is Trimeresurus cornutus found in Vietnam. Their head has a triangular shape that distinguishes it from the neck, the top of the head is covered with small scales, the scales on the eyes develop into horns, so it is known as the “devil snake”, the body size is about 50cm. The venom of the horned viper is classified as one of the most venomous snakes in Vietnam. Horned viper 2. Red-tailed viper , the scientific name is Trimeresurus albolabris, this is an extremely poisonous snake among vipers, with a green body and a reddish-brown tail. Living mainly in the high mountains and deep forests of the Truong Son range, the mountains of the northwest region of Vietnam, Can Tho now also has but very few. 3. Von-gen’s viper or Southern viper, the scientific name is Viridovipera vogeli is a species of snake in the viper family. The top of the head and body of this species is green, the belly is lighter. Regarded as one of the most cunning, skilled and cold-blooded night hunters of all snakes, with a single strong bite, prey will pay with its life. This snake lives in Gia Lai, Dong Nai, Lam Dong in Vietnam. 4. Silver-headed viper Azemiops feae, is a species of viper in the genus Azemiops in the monotypic subfamily Azemiopinae. Considered one of the most primitive vipers, the silver-headed viper is a medium-sized, slightly flattened head that distinguishes it from the neck, about 80cm long. In Vietnam, silver-headed vipers are distributed in Cao Bang, Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, and Lang Son. 5. Indigo snake Also known as dry wood snake, scientific name is Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus. The reason they have such a name is because their skin color is mixed with dry leaves, and dry plants are extremely difficult to detect. Common in the vast rubber forests of the Southeast, the danger of this snake, according to Professor Nguyen Lan Dung, is second only to sea snakes. 6. Chongqing Viper , the scientific name is Protobothrops trungkhanhensis, is a species of snake endemic to Trung Khanh, Cao Bang, Vietnam. Chongqing viper is about 70cm long, the color of the back and head of the male and female are similar, light gray brown. Hiding in the bushes, if you are not careful to tease them, you may die in a short time. 7. Grand cobra The scientific name is Ophiophagus hannah. Although not actively attacking humans, it is still considered a dangerous and scary species within their range. Not only has the ability to release venom, this snake also has the ability to control the amount of poison when biting its prey. The venom of the cobra has a toxic effect that paralyzes the nervous system, causing the bitten person to fall into a coma and die. 8. Ground cobra Also known as the one-eyed cobra or the obese tiger, the scientific name is Naja kaouthia. When stimulated, the snake’s neck expands very scary. Just a small amount of this snake’s venom can cause the prey to die suddenly. 9. Scallop snakes , scientifically known as Bungarus fasciatus, inhabits a variety of habitats, from forests to agricultural lands. is a relatively large venomous snake, usually over 1m long, characterized by very clear and prominent yellow-black patches. The venom of the scorpion is not inferior to that of a cobra. ten. krait snake , has the distinguishing feature of a slender head, round pupils, and a distinct color space like a scorpion, but their color is black and gray-white. Living in grasslands and dense forests, scorpions are the horror of humans when they encounter them. 11. Cat snake The Siamese cobra, scientifically known as Naja siamensis, is a subspecies of the venomous cobra. Temperament changes depending on the time of day, being shy and gentle in the morning, fierce and cruel at night. The cobra’s venom makes it an animal killer with a necrotic, cell-killing, potentially lethal effect that makes a healthy, adult human.

Following the above decrease, the price of thin pork (wholesale pig/jaw) of grades 1 and 2 also dropped sharply by about 12,000-15,000 VND/kg, to 85,000 VND/kg grade 1 and 78,000 VND/kg grade 2, respectively. However, the price of mixed pork belly has not decreased much, only about 5,000 VND/kg. Specifically, the previous sausage from 90,000 VND/kg to 85,000 VND/kg; drumstick drumsticks 85,000 VND/kg to 80,000 VND/kg, lean chips 110,000 VND/kg to 105,000 VND/kg. Particularly, young ribs still keep the price of 150,000 VND/kg, while before it was at 145,000 VND/kg. Explaining the above disproportionate price reduction, Mr. Tien said that normally, when the price of pigs goes down, the price of thin pigs will also drop directly, even if the reduction is more than the price of live pigs. Particularly, mixed pork usually does not decrease immediately, but gradually, on the contrary, the increase will also be gradual because traders and traders have signed contracts with each other in advance for a fixed period of time. Retail pork prices are still high, making consumers wonder. That is also the reason why small traders in some retail markets said that the price of pork of all kinds they sold has not decreased much, some places only decreased by about 5,000 – 10,000 VND/kg. Co Nhi, a small pork trader at Go Vap market (HCMC), said that for more than a week now, she has been importing wholesale pork at a high, unchanged price, about 117,000 – 125,000 VND/kg. Therefore, the retail price of pork remains high: young ribs 180,000-190,000 VND/kg, bacon 155,000 – 160,000 VND/kg, thighs 110,000 – 120,000 VND/kg… “The wholesale price of pork has not decreased, so I still keep the selling price. Prices of ham, ribs, and bacon are still high, so customers buy less and consumption is slow. Accordingly, the amount of imported goods also decreased from 100 kg/day to only 40 kg/day. Only when the wholesale price of imported pork and snakehead meat decreases, the retail price will decrease accordingly, which can stimulate buyers to increase pork consumption again,” Ms. Nhi said. Mr. Nguyen Dang Phu – Deputy General Director of Vietnam Vissan Animal Industry Joint Stock Company, also assessed that the sales force for pork products is currently very slow, the company has to reduce the price of all kinds of young ribs and cutlets by 15%. , pork belly pulled ribs… to stimulate purchasing power. Meanwhile, in the same market, the price of pork varies from place to place. At Base Market 26A (Go Vap District, some stalls quote the price of young ribs VND 165,000/kg, bacon 120,000 VND/kg, thighs 100,000 VND/kg… But another stall is not far away, the seller quoted the price. higher than 20,000 – 25,000 VND/kg, specifically: 180,000 VND/kg baby ribs, 140,000 VND/kg bacon, 120,000 VND/kg thighs… As explained by the small traders, the retail price of pork depends on each market, both wholesale and retail markets. At the beginning of the session (3 – 4 am) pork prices will be high and prices will decrease at the end of the session (6 – 7 am). Some retail sellers will watch out for wholesale markets to import “dropped goods” at cheap prices and sell cheaply to push goods; and those who import goods early, the meat is delicious, the price is higher, so they are forced to retail at a high price. “This whole week, I imported thin pigs with a constant price of 105,000 VND/kg, not 78,000 – 85,000 VND/kg. Not to mention, the purchasing power is slow, there is still a lot of meat left in the afternoon so I have to sell it all cheaply to the shops; The price at the beginning of the session, at the end of the session, is not much profit,” explained Ms. Thuyen – selling pork at Cho Base 26A. As noted by us, meat prices at some slaughterhouses also remained high. For example, in Vissan, even after the reduction of pork, it is still quite high. Pork ribs 275,000 VND/kg reduced to 210,000 VND/kg, pork belly 205,000 VND/kg reduced to 175,000 VND/kg, thigh meat 166,000 VND/kg reduced to 145,000 VND/kg… Branded packaged pork… Meat Deli is even higher: thigh 152,000 VND/kg, pork belly 192,000 VND/kg, cutlet 124,000 VND/kg, pork leg boneless 160,000 VND/kg… (According to Women in HCMC)

Alexander White, 44, living in Sydney, Australia bought a pack of lettuce at a local Aldi store. After bringing everything home, Mr. White discovered that the salad bag was moving and he thought it was a big worm. However, after examining it, he found it to be a snake again. Shortly thereafter, the couple called Wires wildlife rescue organization. Alexander White was shocked to discover the snake in the salad. Photo: JAM PRESS “I told my wife that there was a snake inside the lettuce package, but she didn’t believe it until she saw it with her own eyes” – Mr. White said. Mr. White did not understand when the snake lay there but felt lucky that he carried that salad bag around the supermarket for hours without being bitten by the snake. “Fortunately, my children were not at home at that time because often I still ask them to help prepare things after going shopping. If so, I don’t want to think what could have happened” – he White said. After the Wires arrived, they put the snake in a box and carried it away. They say it is a pale-headed snake, a very highly venomous snake. “He said that if the snake bit someone, they will have to quickly go to the hospital” – Mr. White added. After the handler took the snake away, Mr. White still used the above lettuce for the family lunch. “I washed it very carefully” – Mr. White told the newspaper The Guardian.

Since the birth of the baby, Gina has rarely appeared in the eyes of the audience, but recently, some netizens have exposed photos of Gina and Lang Lang attending a concert celebration together on the Internet. Therefore, we also have the opportunity to see Gina after giving birth. I have to say that her condition has recovered quite well, but her figure does not seem to be as slim as before.

As we all know, after Gina married Lang Lang, she was known by more people. In the past two years, the couple has participated in the recording of many variety shows. They often express their love in front of the camera, especially Gina is really clingy, always holding Lang Lang. Therefore, we can feel how much Gina loves Lang Lang, including every time she looks at Lang Lang, her eyes are full of love. I have to say that this kind of love is really enviable.

In the “Happy Trio” program, Lang Lang also described his magical fate with Gina. In 1994, he went to Germany to participate in the piano competition, which happened to be the day Gina was born.Now Gina is a famous pianist like him, so they are really close, as the show said: The sun happens to be the day you come, maybe this is a love preview played by Cupid

It’s just that although Lang Lang is a very talented boy, but his image is slightly inferior, but his wife Gina is a talented and valuable girl. Gina’s appearance and figure are so outstanding, especially the slender waist is perfect, and even has a feeling of seeing both eyes.

Including during pregnancy, her waist will not be too bloated, so she is not pregnant at first glance, her limbs are still so slender, the whole person does not look like a third trimester.

However, when Gina appeared after childbirth, we found that her previous “waist” disappeared because she wore a purple dress. Her waist looked quite round and her whole body looked much stronger. So compared to her without a baby before, the contrast is quite big, but it is normal. After all, she needs to eat a lot of supplementary food during confinement, which makes it easy to gain weight. Moreover, compared with the postpartum state of ordinary people, Gina is actually recovering very well. What do friends think?

According to VQGBTL rangers, by doing well in forest protection, on the other hand, the lives of people in neighboring areas have improved in terms of material, but also in terms of the sense of protecting nature, in recent years. It no longer happens that people enter the forest areas managed by VQGBTL for illegal hunting. So, wild animals have a chance to multiply, especially wild boars. In the summer, wild boars dig holes and lie down to fight the heat. Many tree stumps, land banks were plowed by them. The brothers on duty on the island sometimes wanted to plant a few dozen cassava clusters, but only a few days the pigs were thrown up. A forest patrol by forest rangers on Ba Mun island. When detecting traces of wild animals, they all recorded images to send for analysis. There are many animals that once did not exist, or only discovered traces, now they are present before everyone’s eyes. Most recently, on April 10, 2021, at VQGBTL appeared an individual python. This is a large healthy python species classified by the Vietnam Red Book at CRA1c, d (very endangered). In the wild, they have decreased by up to 80% because they are no longer resident or hunted by humans. In the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), this species is also included in the group of animals banned from exploitation and use. According to Mr. Hoang Manh Hung, Deputy Head of Lach Che Forest Protection Station, VQGBTL Forest Protection Department, where the python was discovered, the python is about 5 meters long and weighs more than 60 kg. The deer that Ba Mun Island rangers spotted when it went to the beach. Earlier on January 8, 2021, Ba Mun island also discovered deer (Cervus unicolor, 1792), which is in danger of going extinct in the wild due to poaching. This deer is classified as VU A1c, d B1 + 2a, and is in need of protection. Deer love to eat by the coast, they swim well and enjoy playing in the water. The deer that the brothers on Ba Mun island discovered while wandering the coast. The deer is about 1.2m tall and weighs about 100kg, when it was discovered that there were people taking pictures, the deer panicked into the sea, so the forest rangers on the island were forced to use motor boats to drive the deer. ashore. The deer swam very well, seeing his body rushed into the sea, but was sent back to the forest. That day the deer went alone, but according to the Ba Mun Island rangers, there was a population of deer on the island, the number of people living is unknown, but they discovered many footprints, traces of soil. crushed by their play or rubbing themselves against the trees of the forest. Life on Ba Mun Island Among the islands of VQGBTL, wild animals are most abundant on Ba Mun island – an island with an area of ​​more than 200 hectares and a length of nearly 20 km in the North-South direction. Previously, Ba Mun was also known as Beast Island, because there were many wild animals on the island. Once (when the VQGBTL was not established) many subjects went there to hunt indiscriminately, making the quantity of animals much less. In 2001, VQGBTL was established, forest protection was strictly implemented, wild animals started to gradually revive, especially wild boars. Wild boars occupy a part of the island. Since ancient times, there were many wild boars here, they dug into the hills to live and this area is called the Pig’s Nest area. The waters here are called Pork Nest. So the life between humans and animals has happened many things, people protect forests and animals, but they don’t know. In the breeding season, many animals are very aggressive. It happened more than a year ago, forest rangers Hoang Manh Ha was attacked by a wild boar while on patrol on Ba Mun island. A wild boar weighing about 1 kg suddenly came out of the bush, causing Mr. Ha to fall. Due to the sudden attack, Mr. Ha instinctively reached out his hand to support him, so he was hit by a pig’s canine, and was severely injured, and had to be taken to the central hospital for treatment. The lizards on Ba Mun island. And it is normal to meet poisonous snakes with rangers on Ba Mun island. In 2009, a concrete road was formed around the island, creating favorable conditions for forest patrol and protection by the forest rangers on the island. So the road becomes a common line between humans and wildlife. Many animals see the road as a place to rest at night. But with poisonous snakes, they stay there night and day. Especially on sunny days, snakes often crawl out in the sun, many snakes look like rotten wood when they first discover them and then get slim and startled. Le Van Luyen, a forest ranger on Ba Mun island recounted, once on the patrol, he came across a large snake estimated to weigh more than a dozen pounds. Mr. Luyen guessed this was a tiger cobra who had lived in the forest for a long time. The snake lay across, but only it was on the 2.5m wide road and could not see the snake’s head and tail. This snake is extremely poisonous, and if bitten by them it is very dangerous to die, because the island is far from the mainland, it is very complicated to go to the emergency room. Mr. Nguyen Huu Manh (Ba Mun island) once slept with a cobra. People slept in bed, snakes slept underneath, only recently discovered. Because Mr. Manh heard a puffing sound under the bed, looking down, there was a cobra nearly 2m long lying down there, extending its neck, puffing out, looking frightened. It takes you hard work to chase the snake into the forest. One day, Manh was walking in the forest and raised his head and saw a very poisonous snake right on top of his head, just taking more steps to make it possible to be bitten to death by the snake. In order to keep the daily life safe, forest rangers have to keep a lot of dogs, both for them to take care of leftovers, and to watch over the house, to watch out for snakes or other animals when they enter the house. sleeping. Every time the brothers went into the forest to patrol, the dogs ran ahead, they discovered the snakes are very clever and alerted them to know beforehand. Conservation work In addition to the animals that exist and live naturally on the island, many years ago, every year, VQGBTL coordinated with a number of departments in the province and Van Don district to release hundreds of macaques with turtles, ba ba , lizards, salamanders to Ba Mun island. These are the wild animals Quang Ninh Customs has collected from loggers, assigned VQGBTL to take care of them healthy and then release them to live on the island. A turtle release session to the natural environment on Ba Mun Island. The rich flora and fauna system, the protection of the NR is even more strengthened, to avoid greedy people, just for self-interest, but despite the destruction of the environment, ecological imbalance … There is a lot of marine forests, the forest rangers are thin, the cost of fuel for each patrol is high, if only relying on the forest rangers is not enough. Therefore, the park staff have proposed community-based measures to protect forests. The VQGBTL Management Board has collaborated with local authorities to replicate environmentally friendly sustainable livelihood models such as aquaculture, tourism development in Minh Chau and Quan Lan communes, in cooperation. with IUCN completing project VCF completing a marine turtle conservation program. From the government’s source, VQGBTL has selected 22 villages of 5 communes located in the core and buffer zones of the Park, thereby investing in helping people to develop production such as providing money for seedlings and seedlings. After receiving the support, people must sign a commitment not to destroy the forest or sea and participate in preventing destructive activities affecting the Park. This work has brought high efficiency, the people have become eyes and ears to help forest rangers stop activities of loggers and pirates. From May 2014, when “The plan for benefit sharing in management, exploitation and sustainable development of natural mollusk resources on wetland of Bai Tu Long National Park” was approved by the Provincial People’s Committee. People were selected to join the benefit-sharing group, and they were handed over snail farming areas. After harvesting, they re-distribute 6% of the products to VQGBTL for conservation purposes, the rest enjoy snail catchers. However, they have to be in charge of continuous monitoring at the scene, to detect strange objects entering the area, to stop and report to the park rangers to settle. With many solutions to protect forests, sea, animals and plants in BTL NP, wild animals grow every year. Along with the diversity of flora and fauna, VQGBTL deserves the title recognized by the ASEAN Heritage Garden in 2016.

The venom helps the snakes defend themselves and hunts. Explaining the venom in the snake The research was carried out by experts at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (Japan) with the Australian National University (Australia) and published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). . Research indicates a link between mammalian salivary glands and snake venom glands. Agneesh Barua, lead author of the paper and a graduate student in evolutionary genetics at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, said: “In the past, we had the basic foundations. to find out about this. “Now, thanks to evolution, we can dig deeper and more accurately into the relationship between mammalian salivary glands and snake venom glands.” Previously, scientists believed that the venom gland evolved from the salivary gland because the venom is composed of proteins that are transformed from saliva. The oral venom system is assumed to evolve through evolution, but how it evolved and the molecular structure in the venom system remains unknown. Research by the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology and the Australian National University are the first scientific evidence to find an answer to this fake snow. To produce toxins, snakes have evolved in the direction of converting many different substances in the body into venom. Initially, scientists suspected the gene was behind the poison formation in snake venom and a number of different species such as spiders and coolie – the only primate to have venom. However, the study did not find out what causes the venom to develop in the mouths of the animals. The research does not focus on toxins because they grow quickly, they are complex mixtures of many compounds, the Baride scientist explains. From there, the scientists decided to switch not to check the genes that produce the toxin, but to study the genes that help change the salivary system into the venom gland in the mouth. These are genes that are involved in the venom but are not responsible for the toxin production. Contact toxins in the human body Human saliva contains toxins that produce toxins. Through testing the genome of Taiwan habu snake, the researchers found the gene that supports the change, named “metavenom network”. This gene is responsible for protecting cells from the stress caused by the production of large amounts of protein. Similar genes are found in the salivary glands of some mammals such as chimpanzees, mice, even humans or terrestrial egg-laying animals such as birds and reptiles. These two genes have quite similar modes of action. Both produce large amounts of protein in saliva. With snakes, this gene helps to create large toxic saliva, suitable for their hunting and defense purposes. While in mammals such as humans, genes also make large amounts of protein in saliva but does not contain toxins. The common thing that these genes have in common is their ability to produce toxins, but snakes combine many different toxins, while mammals produce simpler venom, which has a similarity with saliva, Baride says. In fact, under certain environmental conditions, rats can make many toxic proteins in their saliva. Or in human saliva contains Kallikrein, an enzyme that helps digest proteins and they are also components in the “metavenom network”. If mutated, Kallikrein will convert saliva into venom that causes pain and death for infected objects. If so, according to evolution, in the next ten thousand years rats may have venom in their mouths, and so can humans. Mechanism of venom production However, Barua said, Kallikreins in human saliva can hardly evolve into toxins in snake venom. The “metavenom web” is a method of defense or elimination of prey and it evolves according to the animal’s way of life. The same species of snake, but living in different terrains and environments, the toxin is also different. For example, snakes live in the desert, mainly hunt rats on flat terrain, their venom slowly seeps into their prey. But snakes that live in the rocky mountains have a stronger toxin, instantly killing the lizard-like agility. Meanwhile, humans have invented tools, weapons and social structures to increase labor productivity and to process food, so there is no need to use venom. In addition, the creation of the venom is difficult. If not used regularly, the venom is lost. For example, sea snakes used to possess venom but are now harmless because they switch from eating fish to eating fish eggs, which do not require the use of toxins. New research may not raise hope for human “superpowers” but scientists have found a way for species to control venom in the body, which may be the key of medicine. . Find out how genes that control external protein expression can recognize diseases like cancer. Because most deaths from cancer are due to cancer cells growing out of control.

According to the Sohu , the only snake species recorded in China is the coral snake (scientific name: Bungarus multicinctus). This species can kill people with venom less than 1 milligram, even the king cobra when confronted with them also have to “turn off the power”. Small body Coral snakes live in southern China, they mainly live near the water’s surface and eat fish, frogs, snakes, and rats. The average body length of an adult coral snake is from 1m to 1.8m. In appearance, the coral snake has a simple black and white color, the back has hexagonal scales, the alternating black and white rings stretching throughout the body, the black part is longer and more than the white. Unlike conventional snakes with a triangular head, the coral snake’s head is oval in shape and small. Coral snakes possess an easily recognizable appearance. Photo: Sohu Although coral snakes are venomous snakes, they are very shy and often active at night. They will run away quickly when disturbed, or hide their heads under their bodies if they feel bothered. Unless intimidated, coral snakes will not actively attack people. In addition, the two fangs of coral snakes are relatively small, the other teeth are not pointed, so they cannot bite through the human skin too deeply. Therefore, when a person is bitten, the pain will be relatively mild, even some people cannot feel it. But if the anti-poison serum is not injected in time, the person who is bitten will definitely not be cured. The venom is deadly To measure the toxicity of snake venom, LD50 (a lethal dose of 50%, a dose required to kill half of the individuals used as an experiment over a given experimental period) is used as a parameter indicator. Projection for toxicity measurement. According to the experimental data of coral snake venom, LD50 of coral snake venom to mice is 0.09-0.108 mg / kg (subcutaneous injection), 0.113 mg / kg (intravenous injection) and 0.08 mg / kg (intraperitoneal injection). LD50 of the mountain wind snake has a famous large venom at about 0.35mg / kg, but only equivalent to a quarter of the toxicity of coral snakes. Therefore, after comparing the LD50 values ​​of the known poisonous snakes, it was concluded that the coral snakes are the most poisonous snakes in China as well as in Asia, in addition they are ranked 8th on the rankings. rank of poisonous snakes in the world. This is the most poisonous snake species in China as well as in Asia, in addition, they are ranked 8th on the ranking of poisonous snakes in the world. Photo: Sohu In the early stage of being bitten by a coral snake, the small molecular weight α neurotoxin first binds to acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junctions, preventing the transmission of neurotransmitters, causing Injured person shows drowsiness, body stiffness, drooling, muscle spasm and other reactions, the nerve mass at this time is reversible. Several hours later, a large amount of β-neurotoxin acts directly on the motor nerve’s pre-synaptic membrane, inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, causing skeletal muscle to lose its function of contracting and transform into constant paralysis, eventually leading to to respiratory failure. This process happened very quickly and violently. What to do if bitten by a coral snake? First, what needs to be explained here is that it is completely wrong to suck venom by mouth like in a drama, then the poison will go straight through the mouth and take the life of the smoker. Therefore, the best way is to take a picture of that snake or bring it to the hospital for identification and injection of anti-venom serum as soon as possible. Although the coral snakebite is not as deep as other species, when the toxicity develops, the patient will suffer extremely severe pain with death always imminent. Photo: Medihub If you have been bitten by a coral snake in the wild and cannot get help, you can burn the wound with fire. Theoretically, proteins and enzyme peptides (the main ingredient in coral snake venom) are inactivated in the presence of acids, alkalis, electrolytes and high temperatures. The main reason is that the coral snakes have short fangs and small amount of venom that can only bite into the shallow layers of the skin. Therefore, in an emergency, burn the wound skin into blisters. However, this method only works miraculously for the wound from coral snakes, not suitable for other poisonous snakes. In fact, poisonous snakes are not as scary as we often think. Except for the king cobra, most poisonous snakes are afraid of humans. So when you see snakes, take the initiative to stay away from them at least a stride, do not blindly raise snakes if you do not have the knowledge to avoid “drawing on the body”.

Follow-up tests showed that the baby had a severe blood clotting disorder, a large decrease in platelets consistent with the initial judgment. Doctors quickly infused 4 bottles of anti-green snake venom serum to the baby and closely monitored clinical signs.

After more than 24 hours of follow-up, C’s hand was not swollen more, no bleeding, but the disorder of blood clotting had not improved, he was given 4 more vials of anti-green snake venom. The results showed that after 6 hours of second serum transfusion, the baby’s hemostasis tests gradually returned to normal, no bleeding on the mucous membranes, and better eating and drinking.

According to the family, the baby woke up and woke up and complained of pain while sleeping. On examination, family members found that the baby had a slight abrasion and swelling in the 2 knuckles of the middle finger of the right hand and thought it was not serious, after 7 hours of home observation, the bite was swollen, spreading the whole hand up to the forearm. being taken to private medical facilities for treatment with only temporary relief of pain and swelling.

On the afternoon of April 9, 2021, when the baby was taken to the hospital, his hand was swollen swollen to the arm area, the middle finger was more painful.

How to recognize and first aid when bitten by insects or snakes:

For Insect bites (bites): Be aware of mild soreness at the site of the bite, the sting, and swelling around the bite. If severe, hives will be generalized, shortness of breath, anaphylaxis, cold hands and feet, mild pulse, difficult to catch, hematuria, low urination, kidney failure usually occurs in the first days.

First aid way:

– Most bee stings leave a sting and bag of venom in the sting on the victim’s skin, except for wasps. It is best to pry the syringe out by gently gently squeezing, using tweezers, avoid squeezing by hand as this can cause the venom to spread.

– Clean the affected area with soap and warm water

Apply a cold compress to the bite to reduce pain and swelling

– Take the victim to a medical facility if: The victim complained of fatigue, cold hands and feet; Red urine, little urine. Was stung on 10 marks by wasp.

For snakebites: Recognize that it is necessary to quickly observe the bite, the following signs indicate that the snake bite was much swollen, much pain at the bite site. The bite has two marks of venom that can be a snake with local signs such as swelling, bruising, necrosis and blistering of the skin filled with fluid; disorders of blood clotting: Hemorrhage of the skin, mucous membranes. For the cobra, there are few signs of systemic dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, and weakness in limbs.

First aid way: When bitten by a snake, even a snake is identified should be closely monitored as a poisonous snake bite, at least for the first 6 hours. In particular, when bitten by a poisonous snake or suspected of being bitten by a poisonous snake, first aid should be taken immediately and promptly bring the victim to a medical facility.

Give first aid by lying down, place the bitten place lower than the heart to limit venom absorption. Clean the wound with soap and water. Cover the bite with a cool compress to reduce pain and swelling. Quickly take the victim to a medical facility where it can determine the type of snake bite and inject an appropriate anti-venom serum.

It took about 2 kilometers to reach the gate. Will not disappoint people to admire, worship, because the pagoda is small but ancient and majestic.

Remember when I was a child, on the full moon day, my whole family used to take each other to the temple to pray for peace. Although the house is about 4 kilometers away from the pagoda, for our villagers, that distance is unharmed. We used to walk mainly because in the past my village was very poor. Only a few people are quite new to the pagoda. The rest are on foot.

We usually visit the temple in the evening. Because during the day, adults are still busy with farmwork until dusk before carrying out their hoes. Should always go to the temple around 7-8 pm. Although the moon was bright and shining, everyone was armed with torches and torches and did not forget to bring a matchbox. Simply entering the street with the shade of trees, or for those who are afraid of the darkness of the night, thinking around, a bundle of torches is a great savior.

When I went to the temple, I was afraid of getting lost, so my father always carried me or carried me. I still vividly remember the innocent questions: “Mommy, I’m kneeling like this, right? How many amnesty? What am I supposed to do? Then I was led by my parents around the temple to pray to the La-Han, Bo-slaps. When we were about to leave, we went to the front yard of the pagoda to kneel at the feet of Quan The Am Mother … The departure was quite boring. In the crimson torchlight of a full-moon night, I sleep on my back for a while.

Remember the times when we went back to the temple to go back to school, the whole group of us pulled together to go to the temple to ask for fruit picking. The pagoda planted many fruit trees, plums, breast milk, longan, guava … But because monks did not pick up in time, ripe fruits often fell on the yard. “You mustn’t break flowers, break that tree. In the Buddha’s vow, please pick the monk and pick “. You guys listen to me. Since my family used to do gong work at the temple, the monks all knew my face. Without asking, the monk said: “You keep picking it naturally. But don’t climb that fall. Behind there is a bamboo stick, back to pick it up ”. Said and then turned inside. We are very happy, picking as much as we want and then eating at the base. When it was time to feel bad, about to hurry home, the monks told me to have vegetarian rice. The delicious vegetarian meal was delicious, even though it was just vegetables, but each of us had three cups. The old monk laughed, a gentle smile: “You should come to the temple to play comfortably, but remember not to climb up and bring the painting. Sunday without school, the children come here to teach solemnity, normal activities to help parents … ”.

Then that beautiful, innocent childhood also passed. As fast as the peaceful smile of the monks at the temple. Every time I go home, I take a little time to visit the temple. The temple is still ancient, mossy as ever. Still lotus pond, plum tree, apricot root, canopy radiate cool. But the old monks that year passed away. The young monks are now full of arms and legs. I always remember the abbot’s saying: “Human life is very impermanent, my son! Live in a way that benefits yourself, your family, your society and don’t hurt anyone. Because it hurts them to hurt themselves. That pain endures a lifetime. Do not let the next day regret what I did today… ”. It is these truthful statements that have helped me to live a life worth living, lovingly in this Ta-Bà realm.

Russia in response?

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was quoted by Russian media on April 13 as saying that Moscow was taking measures in response to a threatening military action by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), in which has combat readiness testing and training.

The Russian Defense Minister stated clearly, NATO is planning to deploy 40,000 troops and 15,000 weapons and military equipment near the Russian border, including the strategic air force. Mr. Shoigu further announced that the US is moving part of its North American garrison to Europe, which is mainly concentrated in the area near the Black Sea and Baltic Sea.

Shoigu, the TASS news agency, accused the US of increasing forces in Poland and the Baltic countries, and increasing the frequency of air and sea reconnaissance activities. He asserted that on European territory, NATO annually conducts about 40 large-scale combat training operations against Russia. This spring, NATO launched its largest-scale military exercise in the past 30 years, titled Defender Europe 2021 (Defender Europe 2021).

Mr. Shoigu stressed that Russia is taking measures to respond to NATO’s threatening military activities. The combined Russian large-scale airborne and joint military exercises have demonstrated the ability to be ready to fight to protect the country’s security.

Also on April 13, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged Russia to withdraw troops that the alliance thinks Moscow is deploying on a large scale on the border with Ukraine. Speaking at a press conference to Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Mr. Stoltenberg said: “In recent weeks Russia has dispatched thousands of troops ready to operate in Ukraine’s border areas. This is the largest troop surge since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 … Russia must end this military build-up in and around Ukraine, immediately stop provocations and go downstairs. “.

US troops in NATO are deployed to Poland

A day earlier, Mr. Stoltenberg had a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to discuss “Russia’s move to strengthen the army near the Ukrainian border”. According to a statement by the US State Department, Secretary of State Blinken and Secretary General Stoltenberg discussed an urgent request for Russia to stop its military build-up along the border areas of Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula.

President Vladimir Putin has also voiced denunciation of NATO conducting exercises on the Russian border and America’s intention to expand its influence over former Soviet members. In April, up to 5 out of 10 NATO exercises will be held in member states in the East.

NATO says it’s good …

According to Ukraine, Russia has deployed 46 tactical battalions – about 105,000 troops – along the border with Ukraine and in Crimea, and is provided with 19,000 tons of fuel and 355 tons of ammunition. Kiev urges allies not to repeat the 2014 “mistake” with events in Crimea and Donbass.

During a press conference with US and Western officials in Brussels, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said: “Strategically, Russia must understand that Ukraine belongs to the world of democracies, to the Western world, and the West will not let Russia disrupt Ukraine’s democracy and sovereignty.

Ukrainian soldiers

Western analysts say that both Russia and Ukraine may be “trying” the new US President Joe Biden to see how far he is willing to go to protect Washington’s allies and confront Russia. There are also comments that Russia wants to send a message to Ukraine after Kive imposed sanctions on congressman and businessman Viktor Medvedchuk, and banned three TV channels related to Mr. Medvedchuk.

Up to this point, the West still believes that a full-blown Russian strike or a NATO-backed attack against the separatists will not happen at this time. “NATO members will not send any forces to Ukraine,” said expert Bruno Lete, a senior researcher at the German Marshall Fund – a US research agency. the term is in political messaging, military advice and technical assistance. “

Many analysts believe that NATO allies would not be willing to engage their forces in a conflict against Moscow because of the Ukraine issue, but they could strengthen other forms of assistance. On April 14, German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said: “My impression is that the Russian side is trying to do whatever it takes to provoke a response … With Ukraine, we will not be caught up in the process. play this “.

From Crimea to Syria and most recently Nagorny-Karabakh, Russia has demonstrated its determination and unpredictable combat capabilities.

Most observers believe that the current situation will not necessarily lead to an immediate attack, but Russia’s intentions are still unclear, according to politico.eu. very worrying. The West believes that Russian President Putin wants to remain unpredictable, so there is little risk of a completely unexpected war, but there is always a risk of miscalculation or overreaction.

On the Russian side, some analysts in this country said that the outbreak was “a direct result of the internal political situation in Ukraine”. The Russian Expert newspaper assessed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took drastic measures such as fighting the opposition media allegedly pro-Russia, punishing billionaire Medvedchuk who allegedly has close ties to the Kremlin, or ban Russian language in schools aimed at regaining its image in the country.

Meanwhile, the World Socialist Web Site contains information proving that Ukraine, the US and the West are acting “aggressive, provocative” against Russia. Accordingly, Kiev in early March adopted a strategy to “withdraw the Crimean peninsula”. On March 25, President Zelensky also adopted a new military strategy emphasizing the urgency of mobilizing the entire population in a war against Russia in Ukraine. This strategy recognizes that Ukraine can only win with NATO support and no less than 19 mentions of its intention to join the military alliance.
