The skylight is both the center of the house, and a small yard for planting trees and tying swings for children. She shared, in addition to the rough construction and interior design, she and her husband decorate and design small details, making the house more lively. The skylight part is like the heart of the house, a place for the children to have physical activities and learn through movement games. It is a small corner with a little sunshine, a little green, a little cool wind. The kitchen and dining room are connected to the yard and skylight, so she can do housework while keeping an eye on her children. The wall in the kitchen cabinet is hand-painted by Mai Fang. The pattern matches the paving stone in the yard. The dining table is assembled from many different sets into a complete set. The table is a large wooden board, attached with iron legs. In the dry season, she uses the yard to place a swimming pool, while in the windy season, the leaves rustle. On the skylight there is a sliding glass door, in the rainy season, let the rain fall on the yard. “Many people wonder why my wife and I spend so much space on the skylight. Because I want the children to have time to breathe in some fresh air, so that the older children can love and be proud of their own home,” said Ms. Detail of decorative flowers and grass by the owner. Camping at home. The fern tree in the yard combined with the pair of duck statues makes the home space closer and more rustic. The shelf on the refrigerator is Mai Fang’s husband to store dry or rarely used items. The side wall is painted green for the 2 girls to draw chalk instead of the regular board. The kitchen when the lights are on is very cozy, a place to witness the dear moments of the extended family. Hand-painted textures are quite similar to tiles. The owner’s kitchen table uses black to clean and not stain. The master bedroom has a large window overlooking the skylight. The female owner is an aesthetic person, so every corner is very delicate. The second floor has a desk, a study table for children and a mirror. Mai Fang’s daughter’s bedroom, the wall she painted with watercolors, acrylic colors. Bedroom decor cute, eye-catching with blue, white and rattan furniture. At leisure time, the children spread their toys all over the floor, but after they are done, Mai Fang guides them to clean the room themselves. Thanks to that, the room is always neat. Mother loved painting, so her two daughters also inherited that passion.

The speed of light (more generally, the speed of propagation of electromagnetic radiation) in a vacuum, denoted c, is an important fundamental physical constant in many areas of physics. It has an exact value of 299,792,458 meters per second, because the meter length unit is redefined based on this constant and the standard second. According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed that all energy, matter, and information in the universe can reach. It is the speed at which every massless particle bound to physical fields (including electromagnetic radiation such as light photons) propagates in a vacuum. It is also the propagation speed of gravity (such as gravitational waves) predicted by current theories. Particles and waves travel with velocity c regardless of the motion of the source or of the observer’s inertial frame of reference. After Einstein founded relativity, it became known that the speed of light is indeed very fast, because this is the upper limit of the local speed in the universe, and no other speed can be exceeded. through it. Moreover, regardless of the medium in the frame of reference, the measured speed of light is exactly the same. Based on the principle of the constant speed of light in relativity and the highly accurate measurement of the speed of light, physicists have also determined the speed of light to be 299,792,458 meters/second without affecting the speed of light. affect the current physical quantity. In this way, people no longer have to worry about accurately measuring the speed of light, and can also solve the problem of errors in the equipment used to determine the clock. The speed of light propagating in a vacuum is independent of both the motion of the light source as well as of the observer’s inertial frame of reference. The constancy of the speed of light was postulated by Einstein in his 1905 paper on special relativity. Physicists can now only experimentally confirm the speed of light by methods above two Two-way speed of light is frame-independent, because the speed of light cannot be measured in one-way speed of light, ignoring some conventions of uniformity. synchronization between the clock at the source and the clock at the receiver. Whether it’s electron transition, nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, or the annihilation of yin and yang matter, these processes produce light. Once light is created, their speed will immediately reach the speed of light, and they will always travel at this speed. If light were not absorbed by matter, they would not be dissipated in the universe, and the speed would always remain at the speed of light. For example, the first photons created in the universe 13.8 billion years ago are still present today, and they travel through the universe at the speed of light. So, how did light reach the speed of light? How does light maintain the speed of light? What is the driving force that drives the light forward? If it is explained from the point of view of the particle nature of light, then light is composed of photons with no rest mass. According to special relativity, since the static mass of photons is zero, their speed can only be the speed of light. According to the Higgs mechanism of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, when photons without static mass pass through the Higgs field throughout the universe, the photons will not be coupled, so they will not gain static mass, and their speed will not decrease. Once the photons are generated, their speed will directly reach the speed of light, and there is no acceleration from zero to the speed of light. Propagation of photons does not require energy to propagate, if they were not absorbed by matter or a black hole, they would always travel aimlessly through a vacuum at the speed of light. On the other hand, if explained from the evaporation of light, the nature of light is electromagnetic wave. Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism show that electricity and magnetic fields are essentially unified, that a changing electric field excites a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field excites a repeated electric field, creating out electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic fields are formed at the speed of light, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The generation and existence of electromagnetic fields are independent of the medium, so light can travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Although the spatial structure continues to expand, light propagating through space will appear redshift, but they will not completely disappear in the universe.

Starting to join showbiz at the age of 12, Nguyen Le Ngoc Anh Sang is considered one of the youngest female singers in Vietnamese showbiz. The girl born in 2006 is the youngest member of the largest group in Vietnam – SGO48. Currently, Light is 1.67 m high, loved for its clear and cute appearance. She was commented by fans as “with star quality”. Initially, SGO48 did not recruit members under the age of 15, but Light won the SNS Audition Round, so she was given a special chance to participate in the final round. At the live audition with a Japanese expert in Ho Chi Minh City, the 15-year-old singer was one of the most outstanding candidates, highly appreciated from the beginning. The signature slogan of Light is “Touching the light, full of life”. The female singer expressed her desire to become an idol that shines like her name. Joining showbiz at the age of 12, Light has a high degree of independence. Team leader Kaycee revealed to Zing Light that he lives neatly, does not like others to disturb the position of his belongings. Photo: Instagram. Light can play the piano fluently and compose music. In 2020, Light was chosen to be the center for SGO48’s single Positive Love. Many viewers think that Light’s sweet, lovely appearance and positive energy are suitable for the song. Besides music, Light also tries her hand at many different fields such as acting, modeling advertising, participating in entertainment programs. She participated in a number of movies and shows such as La La School, 100 seconds of brilliance, Mysterious Singer… Light also appeared on the covers of magazines many times, including a Japanese newspaper called Vetter. At the age of 15, Light is a new face in Vpop. Currently, SGO48 members are preparing to enter high school. Photo: SGO48. Light is also one of the most popular members of the group. After SGO48’s third single was released, a light fan spent 125 million VND to buy 500 singles sold with handshake tickets (tickets to the event to shake hands with idols) to support the girl 15. year old. Photo: Ba Ngoc. Light is also the member bringing the highest revenue for the management company in the first quarter of 2021. With the above achievement, the vocalist born in 2006 was given a song composed by the company and recorded an independent MV, not appearing with any other members of the group.

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.

According to architect Vo The Duy (CTA | Creative Architects), there are four criteria homeowners should pay attention to to design a beautiful living room, including: space, light, traffic and furniture. About space For most Vietnamese, the living room is the face of the whole house, so all priorities in terms of functionality as well as construction costs are often reserved for the living room. For most townhouses and apartments with limited area and the development of home appliances, the combination of living room space with kitchen and dining room space is very popular today. The living room – kitchen – dining spaces are combined to make the space more spacious and airy. In addition, these functions also help increase the connection of family members. The apartment has a living room combined with a kitchen and dining space. Location Depending on the plot or design intent to determine the location of the living room, in general, the living room in Vietnamese families is often located on the main traffic axis of the house, where it is easy to access and see. The living room should not occupy space for travel or be located in difficult traffic locations. About the light The living room is a space where many people gather and is the face of the family, so it is important to pay attention to the problem of light both day and night. Taking advantage of natural light is still a top priority. The solution is usually to bring the living room to the front of the house, make windows, arrange near the skylight area, combine the garden to add a landscape. The wall slits or chandeliers at night will increase the aesthetics of this space. Standing lamps, radiating light will create a cozy feeling but need to be restrained to create accents and avoid overexposure. The light for this area should be warm, avoid using many colors that cause confusion and reduce aesthetics. Am house project (CTA | Creative Architects) living room uses natural light and landscape. About the furniture The synchronization of colors and materials between the ceiling, wall, floor, table and chair materials will create a harmonious and luxurious whole. The homeowner avoids the abuse of grout details, embossed plaster, cumbersome decorative objects that suffocate this space. In general, the sofa set is the main element for the living room, so the homeowner chooses the sofa model first, and then decides on the rest of the furniture such as sofa table, airchair, ottomans, curtain color … The layout of the living room interior also needs to pay attention to the gathering and gathering factors of the users, from there, arrange the tables and chairs reasonably. The position of the TV needs attention without glare, the hanging height, the distance and the position so that everyone can see it. The accompanying entertainment system such as internet cord, receiver, speaker, also needs to be integrated in the cabinet or in an aesthetically pleasing location.

Different textures and colors also result in different reflections and dispersions of light. For example, using a light color or a smooth shiny surface will reflect and diffuse light better than a dark or matte and rough surface. Therefore, if you choose to use the best one tone, even the furniture will help spread the light, making the room brighter. The wall part of the room usually has the most space. So the choice of color is very important. If you want the room to be naturally bright, you should choose to use wall paint in light tones. In addition, the ceiling and floor should also be light in color and in the same tone. Adjusting the overall color of the room does not have to be painted but can be used with tiles, wallpaper… Use the help of the mirror Mirrors are important items that help to make a room brighter and more airy. If a mirror with a cute shape that matches the style of the room is placed in the opposite direction of the light hitting the door or window, it will help diffuse the light and make the room look bright. than. In addition to mirrors, there are many other types of furniture to choose from to brighten up the room. Of course, it should be soft furniture or have a shiny surface such as metal, acrylic or light wood to create a cozy space. Arrange the furniture The arrangement of furniture in the room is also another simple matter that affects the lighting. Especially large pieces of furniture such as sofas, wardrobes or bookshelves, televisions… which, if placed in the middle of the room, will form an angle that makes light unable to reach, even blocking the light. The layout Large pieces of furniture close to the walls in the room are the best way for light to shine through. But it should be an angle that doesn’t block the window or channel through which the light passes. In addition to allowing adequate natural light to pass through, it also helps to make the room look open and spacious. Use curtains to filter light Opening the window during the day in the corners that get direct sunlight will make the room too hot, in this case, many people have chosen to keep the curtains closed to solve it. However, forget that installing light-filtering curtains or adding a layer of light-colored curtains can help. During the night, the curtain can be used normally. During the day, the light-filtering curtain looks like a light-colored fabric pulled through, as it’s specially designed for daytime, it adjusts the light coming in for eye comfort as well. Selection of LED bulbs Nowadays, energy-saving and full-light LED bulbs are quite popular. This is also a way to help the room always be brighter and more airy without the need to install the same transparent balls everywhere. Just in the corner for main activities such as sitting, applying makeup or working, you must choose a lamp that provides enough light. In other corners, lower wattage bulbs can be used to give the room enough light without consuming too much energy. Manage trees and obstacles When arranging, tidying up, don’t forget the potted plants both inside and outside the room. Because plants are a thing that, if not properly arranged, can block light and make a room look cluttered. Hanging or facade plants should be small plants that are easy to manage and care for, while larger plants can be tilted away from the window sill rather than directly covering them. In addition, there may be trees and obstacles outside that block all the light from the window, so please regularly take care and prune.

Insulation film is one of the commonly found equipment on cars today, it is very useful on hot days What is car window film? Automotive insulation film is a type of film composed of many layers of different materials (also known as multi-layer coating) forming a filter plate of spectral ranges. Currently, there are 4 popular insulation film coating technologies, including: Nano Ceramic, Sputted Film, Metalized Coating Film, and Dyed Film. Insulation film gives the user and the vehicle a lot of different benefits The benefits of car window tinting Car window film has the main effect of insulating the outside environment, does not make the environment inside the car warm, stays cool and helps the car interior equipment not be damaged by the sun. heat, ensuring durability and quality when using. According to research, the heat in the sun will be radiated from 3 main sources: 57% from infrared rays, 5% from ultraviolet rays and 38% from visible light. Car window films can eliminate more than 80% – 90% of infrared and ultraviolet rays, but still have transparency, high light transmission, ensuring visibility while driving. The current car insulation films have the ability to insulate up to 50% – 65%. In addition, the film has an effective anti-glare function, while ensuring a clear and effective vision, making you safer and more comfortable. Insulation film helps reduce the temperature in the car, limiting the hot sun nắng The effect of sun protection, temperature reduction One of the most important effects that an insulating film brings to your car is the ability to resist hot sun, reduce temperature and high performance. This will help you always feel comfortable and cool when driving and sitting in the car even when it is hot outside. The film will also ensure no heat leakage, prevent heat from escaping to the outside, and maintain a stable temperature inside the vehicle. Your eyes and skin will also be maximally protected under the effects of the sun Maximum body protection Another equally important effect of insulating film is that it can provide maximum protection for the driver’s eyes and skin in the car. Insulation film has the ability to block most sources of UV rays (the cause of skin damage, potentially causing skin cancer) from 99% or more. This will give your skin maximum protection from darkening, aging and cancer, keeping you safe and comfortable when using a car. The interior of the car will also avoid maximum aging Protect car interior accessories Car window film is effective in protecting accessories and interior equipment in the car to the maximum, avoiding interior aging and fading caused by direct sunlight. damage during use. In the event of a sudden accident that breaks the glass, the shards will not be thrown to hurt the occupants of the vehicle Protect the occupants of the car when the glass is broken Insulation film does not work to prevent car glass from breaking. However, thanks to the insulating film, the glass will not be broken. Instead, the film holds the broken pieces of glass in place so they don’t splash and injure occupants. Sticking black insulation film also helps to ensure privacy inside the car Create privacy For those who want a sense of privacy when sitting inside the car, dark tinted film is the ideal solution. This type of film helps outsiders to not be able to see inside the car while occupants can still see outside.

The living room is full of light, where the whole family gathers after a long day. When receiving the handover, the apartment has completed basic furniture, but due to unreasonable layout, it has to be dismantled and completely renovated. After 2 epidemics and Tet holiday, the finishing process was also interrupted more or less. Finally, Van Anh’s family was able to bring their belongings to their new home after nearly 5 months of construction. The completion of this house was designed and built by her. The apartment has 4 bedrooms, 1 worship room, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 dining room and 3 bathrooms. The main style of the apartment is modern and minimalist style. With such a layout and design, the children will have a place to run and jump. Van Anh’s dining chair is very satisfied, because the children can sit comfortably without leaning back or falling behind. She shared, in the past, the old kitchen table used to be ceramic coated. After a few times, her son knocked on the bowl, on the spoon it cracked a few lines on the table. This time, learning from experience, she made stone countertops, ensuring durability and easy cleaning. The main color tone is gray and white combined with yellow lights to create a bright and tidy space, a feeling of gentle relaxation but still luxurious enough. Van Anh’s husband is a technology ‘addict’, so from the beginning he calculated and installed a smarthome system. “When he proposed to make a smarthome, I thought it was a waste, but after using it, I found it convenient and very reasonable,” said Ms. Van Anh. According to her, the water heater is set to the on/off time frame according to the needs of the family to help save electricity. At 6:30 a.m., the curtains will automatically open to illuminate the room, or set the “guests to the house” mode, just one button to open the curtains, the lights will turn on, and the air conditioner will be cool to invite guests in. Or simply at night, hide under the blanket and turn off all the lights on the phone, “without having to push each other to push the switch”, she said. The dining area is connected to the living room, but the two spaces are still separated by the ceiling. Around the house, there are many cabinets and drawers arranged. Van Anh believes that if you want to be neat, you have to hide everything in the drawer. In the kitchen, she made glass sliding doors to separate. When folding the door, it will fit behind the wooden wall. The kitchen is divided into two parts, a washing area on one side and a separate cooking area on the other. Under the drawers, she arranges various types of baking machines, dough mixers, pressure cookers, slow juicers, blenders, air fryers… Especially, when planning the design, Ms. Van Anh does the work. including 220v and 110v power lines. Any 110v drive is attached with a ticked symbol. In addition, she does not make an overhead bowl rack, attaching a glass door. Because from the outside looking at the big and small mess. She put bowls, chopsticks, spoons in the drawer below, the purpose is also for the children to help the mother prepare the table. Pink bedroom for the eldest daughter. The large table is both a study place and a place for children to look in the mirror and groom themselves. Bedroom 2 boys. A unique feature in this house is the pair of revolving doors, separating the living room from the bedroom but still creating a connection with the outside space, allowing parents to easily observe their children. The room also has a mezzanine floor for reading and playing. In the room there is 1 toilet, install two small sized wash basins, for 2 of you to take care of yourself. The balcony is simply glazed over the entire lower half (the upper half still has cables), both safe for the children, not worrying about the children throwing toys down and watering the plants and not getting the neighbor’s house wet downstairs. Balcony in the evening with light from the floor, add a little shadow of leaves, plus the breeze of the 25th floor is a corner to drink tea and take photos. Master bedroom of the couple. In the master bedroom there is a dressing room and a toilet. Changing room, 2 sides are 2 cabinets, comfortable storage from winter to summer, leading directly to the toilet. Homeowners use frosted glass, not sealed like wooden wings, but still translucent enough for outsiders not to see the mess inside. The details in the house are required to be “negative” as much as possible. From the door hinges to the air conditioning vents, they are also flat with the wall.

This has opened up an interesting spatial development direction for the project. The investor wants the entire public or private living space to be as open as possible and create the best connection. In addition, parents can also observe the activities of two children at a young age. LVS.house was built on an L-shaped plot of land in Tan Binh district, HCMC. The outside of the building stands out with three white curves shielding the iron work. Architects AD9 Architects also arranged climbing plants on the first floor drooping at the front of the house. In addition to the split-level solution, AD9 Architects exploits vertical natural light and ventilation. Transitional spaces or skylights create layers that connect people and nature. With this project, the architect is almost minimalist in the use of materials, wishing to find the true aesthetics of architecture and create a new, positive and better life for the host family. The space on the ground floor is the space of the living room, kitchen and dining room and the ladder area to the upper floors. FULL The dining room and kitchen are arranged in the small corner of the letter L. The kitchen and dining room are separated from the living room by a partition to prevent the smell from spreading to the living room when cooking. Stairs lead to the upper floors at the back of the house. The ground floor and other floors are also connected by a skylight that exploits light and wind vertically. A space for family members to play. The bedroom is designed with a skylight that merges with the greenery around the skylight. The bedroom is filled with light and wind, separated from the skylight by transparent glass. Stairs lead to the tum floor (top floor of the house). The luxuriant storey design of the roof has many holes, from which sunlight can penetrate through the roof to provide sunshine for the trees below.

“In Vietnam, I have never seen a project with such a high level of investment in lighting as this project,” said Dr. Tran Van Thanh, co-founder and design director of ASA Lighting Design Studios. Having cooperated with many large resort corporations, he was still surprised by the scale of the project in this pearl island. – The design of the Park Hyatt Phu Quoc project bears the mark of Nathan Thompson – the founder of The Flaming Beacon. He participated in most of the meetings to discuss lighting design for the project. Not only that, he also brought to this project many lighting techniques and effects from the perspective of an expert. It must be added that he is one of the people with extensive experience in the field of stage lighting. Therefore, the idea of ​​lighting design for each area in the Park Hyatt Phu Quoc project is like arranging for each scene of a play. Here, the light not only needs to be beautifully designed, but also has to bring a “dramatic” feeling. The space is staged with many layers of metaphorical corridors to evoke a strong impression for visitors to stay. – As far as I know, this is the first project in Vietnam that applies dynamic lighting technology in the entire construction process. This technology is not only used in luxurious public areas, but also appears in each mansion. This is the first time in a resort where each bedroom is individually programmed with multiple lighting scenes, allowing to transform the atmosphere of each suite. The luxury of this project is also reflected in the fact that every area has a calibrated scenario, even the swimming pool and garden are programmed with many different lighting scenarios. Lighting solutions are designed to suit the time of day. If the morning light is gentle and elegant, the afternoon is romantic, then the evening brings a feeling of warmth and relaxation. These sensations are all adjusted through the brightness and tone of the light, from bright white to warm. The meticulous attention to detail is also reflected in the fact that we have a separate scenario for the sunset, which happens only 15 minutes. Designers had to calibrate at the scene, making sure the moment appeared just as the sun was about to set, and the transition matched when the last rays of sunlight disappeared. This process requires engineers to calculate the correct solar orbit whether it is the summer solstice, winter solstice, spring or autumn equinox. At the end of the romantic 15 minutes of sunset, the lighting is changed, setting the scene for the late afternoon when guests are about to leave the room for dinner, and will automatically activate to welcome the owner back to rest. . In addition, safety and comfort factors are also put on top. We have sensors all over the resort. Light sensor system, landscape lights will react to the weather environment to automatically activate when it’s raining, cloudy, low light… Thus, occupants will always feel safe and comfortable in every situation. time. These are just a few examples of the meticulous care in design that promises to bring an unforgettable experience to visitors at Park Hyatt Phu Quoc. – With such a unique design and technological requirements, the project had to use many custom-made decorative lights. These are unique lighting tools for the project, inspired by fisheries, fishing villages, moonlight… creating a poetic scene of Phu Quoc but also luxurious enough with the stature of Park Hyatt. I am especially interested in the design of the lights in the garden, they are accented with round spheres, giving off a very interesting amber light. The light of each sphere is filtered through a layer of ivory silk fabric, creating a magical golden color that cannot be reproduced with modern lights. This is also a bold experiment, combining modern design and traditional Vietnamese techniques. Besides, the lamps that project plants meticulously hidden in brown glazed crockery are also a very Vietnamese mark. Or a pair of seemingly simple night lights, but inside use LED chips with turnable white technology from 3,000K to super warm 2,200K colors, to almost accurately simulate the magical light of the candles only in the palace. old. – In order to have many lighting scenes for each space in the resort villa, tree, lake, etc., the control system must be invested with modern scale. That requirement also includes fine-tuning every detail, the lighting scene is smooth, the colors are synchronized, and the light quality is pure. So, behind those lighting experiences must be the equipment system invested, in this case, from BIM Land investor of BIM Group. Besides, the project also has the participation of The Flaming Beacon, a very famous name in the field of hotel and resort lighting design in the world. This company is based in Australia and has implemented many projects in 36 countries, which are highly appreciated by professionals and customers. In Vietnam, The Flaming Beacon is no stranger to being a partner of two high-end resorts, which can be said to be the names that set the standard of luxury resorts in Vietnam. The participation of The Flaming Beacon in the Park Hyatt Phu Quoc project is a proof that this will be the next luxury resort in Vietnam in the near future. Meanwhile, ASA Lighting Design Studios is a familiar name to investors, large and high-end customers in Vietnam. In more than 100 projects implemented, ASA has had projects of international stature such as Dragon Bridge (Da Nang), Nha Duc (Ho Chi Minh City). Park Hyatt Phu Quoc is the seventh project that ASA works with BIM Group. We are long-time partners, partners with many years of great cooperation to create quality projects. – The combination of two big-name companies in the industry will ensure the quality of the project’s lighting design. With ASA’s deep, strong expertise and understanding of Vietnamese culture and people, plus international quality design from The Flaming Beacon, I can confidently say that the Park Hyatt Phu Quoc lighting project will Perfect in both function and aesthetic quality.

Vinh Ancient Citadel was built in 1804 under Gia Long Dynasty and was built of earth. It was not until the 12th year of Minh Mang (1831) that the stone was built. The citadel was built in the shape of a hexagon with an ice-free structure. Photo: Left gate of Vinh ancient citadel, first lit up in the night. Photo: Nhat Lan Under the light, the details of the city gate become clearer and more attractive than during the day. Photo: Nhat Lan The left gate of Vinh ancient citadel faces the East, close to the center of Vinh city, so it is prioritized to install the lighting system first. Photo: Nhat Lan Seen in the night from afar, the left gate of Vinh ancient citadel stands out and is much more attractive than before. Photo: Nhat Lan According to officials and workers of Vinh Urban Infrastructure Development and Management Joint Stock Company, after completing the lighting system at the left gate, they will install the lighting system at the Tien gate. Photo: Nhat Lan Cua Tien faces south, is considered the main gate of Vinh ancient citadel. Cua Tien is also the most intact gate after many historical events. Therefore, if lighting is installed, the night-time attractiveness of the Tien gate may be superior to that of the Left gate.

For centuries, apple growers in Japan’s Aomori Prefecture have been creating beautiful heirloom apples using the mojie ringo technique. The process is pretty simple, which basically means exposing the apple to sunlight for a period of time and then applying stencils to ensure that certain parts of the apple peel are discolored. Usually, mojie ringo apples are decorated with messages and symbols of good luck and prosperity, and given as gifts. Large apple varieties like Mutsu or Stark Jumbo are best suited for the mojie ringo technique, as they provide more surface area for intricate designs. The apples using the mojie ringo technique are extremely beautiful. Preparations begin in January, with a pruning operation, to ensure that the remaining flowers receive plenty of sunlight. Growers then use soft wands to hand-pollinate each apple tree flower, and then when the fruit begins to form, they are covered with a laminated plastic bag to both protect the berries from Pests just block sunlight. Keeping apples in the dark for long periods of time increases their sensitivity to light, so when they remove the plastic bags, they begin to produce anthocyanins, a component that gives the skin its red color. In the final stage of the mojie ringo process, stencils are applied over the surface of the apple to ensure that only the skin around the stencils turns red. The stencils are removed during harvesting, revealing the almost white skin underneath. Stencils need to be flexible, as the fruit continues to grow, and otherwise, the style may suffer. According to Culture Trip, the Mojie Ringo technique was perfected by Aomori farmer Haruo Iwasaki, father of Chisato Iwasaki, one of today’s most talented apple artisans. Although the mojie ringo technique may seem quite simple, it requires a lot of work and patience over the long term, and for many growers the effort and attention are insignificant economically. That’s why the old tradition is slowly fading away, only a few Aomori gardens still keep this technique. The mojie ringo technique is also very popular in China and other Asian countries under the name of “tattooing apples”.

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

The light-emitting glasses device helps visually impaired patients locate and touch the book on the table. (Source: nytimes.com) On May 24, a group of scientists announced that they had partially restored the vision of a blind man, by injecting light-sensitive proteins into one eye. The study was published in the journal Nature Medicine. This is the first study to describe the successful use of this new treatment. The patient participating in the trial of the new treatment is a 58-year-old French man who is completely blind due to retinitis pigmentosa. With the help of a special type of glass, he was able to see some objects from a narrow perspective such as notebooks, pin boxes, glass shards… The study’s authors say the trial – the result of 13 years of continuous work – has reached an important milestone for more effective treatments in the future. Dr José-Alain Sahel, an ophthalmologist at the University of Pittsburgh and the Sorbonne in Paris, said: “Clearly this is not the end of the road, but an important milestone.” Dr. Sahel and other scientists have been trying for decades to find a cure for inherited forms of blindness. These genetic disorders rob the eye of essential proteins needed for vision, causing the light-sensitive cells to degenerate. When light enters the eye, photoreceptors capture these rays. They then send an electrical signal to neighboring cells, called ganglion cells, which are responsible for transmitting information. vision from photoreceptors to the brain via the optic nerve. In previous studies, researchers were able to treat a form of genetic blindness known as Leber congenital blindness, by correcting a faulty gene that can cause photoreceptors to gradually become impaired. degenerate. But other forms of blindness cannot be treated so simply if the retina has completely lost its photoreceptors. “Once the cells are dead, you can’t fix the gene error,” says Dr. Sahel. For these diseases, Dr. Sahel and other researchers tested a new, more radical approach. They used gene therapy to turn ganglion cells into new photoreceptors, even though these ganglion cells normally don’t pick up light. Scientists are taking advantage of proteins derived from algae and other bacteria that can make neurons sensitive to light. Ed Boyden, a neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who is a pioneer in the field of optical genetics, thinks the use of proteins to cure blindness has taken him by surprise. “So far, I’ve only thought of optical genetics as a tool primarily for scientists, because it’s being used by thousands of people to study the brain,” he said. But if optical genetics were used for medical purposes, that would be extremely exciting.” Dr. Sahel and colleagues realized that the photogenetic proteins created by Dr. Boyden were not sensitive enough to produce images from normal light entering the eye. Amplified light also cannot be used to shine into the patient’s eyes, as this will damage the delicate tissues of the retina. So they selected a photogenetic protein that is only sensitive to amber light and inserted it into ganglion cells in the patient’s retina. Next, the researchers invented a special device that transforms visual information from the outside world into an amber light that the ganglion cells can perceive. They created goggles that scan the field of view at a rate of thousands of times a second and record any pixel where the light changes. The goggles then send a pulse of light from that pixel into the eye. The method can produce images in the brain, the researchers say. Our eyes naturally roam around in small movements many times a second. With each movement, these pixels change the light level. However, it is still an open question whether blind people can learn how to use this information to identify objects. About this Botond Roska said: “The brain has to learn a new language.” After testing gene therapy and goggles on monkeys, Dr Roska, an ophthalmologist at the University of Basel, co-author of the study, and colleagues are ready to test it in humans. Their plan was to inject the gene-carrying virus into the eyes of each blind volunteer who signed up for the new gene therapy, then wait a few months for the ganglion cells to develop the photogenetic proteins. They will then instruct the volunteers on how to use the goggles. However, they have only coached one volunteer due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 58-year-old man has been wearing goggles at home and while walking. One day, he realized that he could see pedestrian lines on the road. When the pandemic subsided in France, scientists continued to test his eyesight and discovered that he could still reach and touch a notebook on the table, identifying swapped glasses. The results of the electroencephalogram (EEG) showed that his brain was indeed responding to the visual signals from the eye. Currently, Dr. Sahel and colleagues are bringing in other volunteers to test and further refine the new treatment technique.

Part of this 58-year-old male patient’s vision has been restored, allowing him to recognize, count, locate and touch various objects displayed on the table in front of him. (Photo: New York Times) According to research results published on May 24, scientists in Europe and the US have applied optical genetic engineering to treat a patient who lost vision due to an inherited disease of photoreceptors. 40 years ago. This involves injecting them directly into the patient’s eye, combined with stimulation for several months by wearing light-emitting glasses, which convert images into pulses of light printed onto the retina. A 58-year-old blind man was able to partially restore vision in one eye with the help of a breakthrough treatment using genetic engineering and light-activated therapy. The patient, who lives in France, was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a degenerative eye disease that affects the retina at the back of the eye and causes it to stop working, almost 40 years ago. year. However, several months after the treatment, he was able to recognize, count, locate and touch various objects with the treated eye while wearing a pair of light-stimulating glasses. The researchers say that although their findings, published in the journal Nature Medicine, are still in the early stages, their work could be seen as a stepping stone to targeted treatments. new target for people with RP (RP – a condition in which the cells in the retina that receive light are disrupted, which can lead to total blindness). It is the most common inherited eye condition, affecting around 1 in 4,000 people in the UK. The researchers used a technique, called photogenetics, to genetically alter cells in the retina so that they produce light-sensitive proteins called channelrhodopsin. The treatment, which is done by injecting an eye into one eye, activates the gene that codes for a channelrhodopsin protein called ChrimsonR, which senses amber light. The team also developed specialized goggles equipped with a camera to capture and project visual images onto the retina at amber wavelengths of light. The patient then trained for several months as the genetically engineered cells began to stabilize. Seven months later, the patient began to show signs of improvement in vision, the researchers said. The team also said their patients were “excited” after this first experience of partial vision. With the aid of the light-stimulating glasses, the patient was able to locate, recognize, touch and count objects such as notebooks, pin boxes and glasses on a white table in front of him. The researchers also read the patients’ brain activity using a technique known as an electroencephalogram. A tortoise is alternately raised or removed from the table, and the patient must press a button to indicate whether it is there or not. The results from the experiments show that patients can recognize with 78% accuracy. Although this type of optical genetic therapy may be beneficial in restoring visual function in people with RP-related blindness, more results from this trial are needed, the researchers say. clearer picture of the safety and effectiveness of this approach. José-Alain Sahel, lead author of the study from France’s Sorbonne University and the National Center for Scientific Research, said: “It is important that blind patients suffer from various types of neurodegenerative diseases. and functional optic nerve would likely qualify for treatment. However, the effectiveness of the treatment depends on the extent of the patient’s optic nerve degeneration. He said it will take more time to study this method before it can be put into practice.

With the Mojie Ringo technique, Japanese farmers harness the power of the sun to create beautiful apples without the use of any chemicals. This process is called apple tattooing. Basically, apple growers expose the fruit to sunlight for a period of time and then use stencil molds to shape as desired, keeping the rest of the color unchanged. Usually, the looker will decorate the Mojie Ringo apple with writings that carry messages and symbols of luck and prosperity. Large apple varieties such as Mutsu or Stark Jumbo are best suited to apply the Mojie Ringo technique. With a lot of surface area, one can create complex designs. To apply this perennial technique, apple growers start preparing in January. They prune the branches to make sure the flowers get the most sunlight Growers then use soft-bristled wands to hand-pollinate each flower. When the fruit begins to form, people cover the apple with a multi-layer plastic bag to both protect the fruit from pests and block sunlight. Keeping apples in the dark for a long time increases their sensitivity to light, so when you remove the plastic bags, apples begin to produce anthocyanins, a component that gives the skin its red color. In the final stage of the Mojie Ringo process, a printed stencil mold is placed on the surface of the apple to ensure that only the skin around the stencil turns red. Placing the stencils needs to be flexible, as the fruit continues to grow, otherwise the style may suffer. The Mojie Ringo technique was perfected by Aomori farmer Haruo Iwasaki, father of Chisato Iwasaki, one of today’s most talented apple artisans. Although the Mojie Ringo technique seems quite simple, it requires a lot of work and patience in the long run. It is also one of the reasons many growers no longer pursue this traditional look. There are only a few Aomori orchards that produce eye-catching apples.

See through smoke and fog, map a person’s blood vessels while monitoring heart rate – without skin contact; look through the silicon wafers to check the quality and composition of the electronic board. Those are some of the many functions of infrared camera new, developed by a team of researchers led by electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego. The camera detects a part of the infrared spectrum known as shortwave infrared light (wavelengths between 1000 and 1400 nanometers), which lies just outside the visible spectrum (400 to 700 nanometers). Shortwave infrared imaging, unlike thermal imaging, detects much longer infrared wavelengths emitted by the body. The camera works by shining short-wave infrared light at an object or area of ​​interest, then converting the reflected low-energy infrared light back to the device into shorter, high-energy wavelengths. than the human eye can see. “It makes invisible light visible,” said Tina Ng, professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. When technology Infrared imaging has been around for decades, where most systems are expensive, cumbersome, and complex, often requiring a separate camera and monitor. They are also often made with inorganic semiconductors, which are expensive, hard, and contain toxic elements such as arsenic and lead. The infrared camera that Ng’s team has developed overcomes these problems. It combines sensors and display into a slim, compact and simple device. It is made of organic semiconductors, so it is low cost, flexible and safe for use in biomedical applications. It also offers better image resolution than some of its inorganic versions. The camera is made up of multiple layers of semiconductors, each hundreds of nanometers thin, stacked on top of each other. Three of these layers, each made of a different organic polymer, are the key elements of the image: the photodetector layer, the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display layer, and the blocking layer. electrons in the middle. The photodetector layer absorbs shortwave infrared light (low energy photons) and then generates an electric current. This current flows to the OLED display layer, where it is converted into a visible image (high-energy photons). An intermediate layer, called an electron block, keeps the OLED display layer from losing any current. This is what allows the device to produce clearer images. Another special feature is camera effective in providing optical and electronic indicators. “This makes it multifunctional,” says Li. For example, when the researchers shined infrared light on the back of the subject’s hand, the camera provided an image of the subject’s blood vessels while recording the subject’s heart rate. The researchers also used their infrared camera to see through the fog and a silicon wafer. In one test, they placed an “EXIT” patterned photosphere in a small room filled with smog. In another setting, they placed a photorealist patterned “UCSD” behind a silicon wafer. Infrared light penetrates both smog and silicon, making it possible for the imagineer to see the letters in these illustrations. This would be useful for applications such as helping self-driving cars see in bad weather and checking for silicon faults. The researchers are currently working to improve the performance of this type of camera.

The romantic town of Kitsault is located on the coast. (Photo: Internet) Coming to the town of Kitsault located on the North coast of British Columbia, Canada, you will find rows of fortified houses, shopping centers, restaurants, banks, pubs and theaters that are clean, intact, even though the wilderness is not a shadow of a person. Street lights throughout the town are still on every night and the streets are still green with trees, neatly trimmed even though no one has lived for more than 30 years. Kitsault has been abandoned for over 30 years. (Photo: Internet) But every night the street lights are still on and the trees are still neatly trimmed. (Photo: Internet) The town of Kitsaukt existed for a very short time but had a construction cost of up to 6,800 billion VND. In 1979, this was once inhabited by a community of workers working in the molybdenum mines. Molybdenum is a solid alloy, often used to increase hardness and prevent rusting of steel products. However, after the 1970s, the US began to expand mining in Alaska and discovered mineral and oil deposits, which caused the production competitiveness and metal ore prices in the town of Kitsault to decline. rapidly decrease. Thousands of mining workers in 300 family-owned industries have lost their jobs. The town of Kitsault was completely abandoned during the global economic crisis of the 1980s, becoming the first industrial town in Canada to be abandoned. More than 1,200 residents left after molybdenum prices dropped. (Photo: Internet) This town’s existence and existence were short-lived despite the lack of facilities. (Photo: Internet) At that time, more than a hundred single-family homes were built, plus seven apartment complexes with hundreds of apartments. There is also a modern hospital, a shopping mall, restaurant, bank, post office, pub, swimming pool, library, two entertainment centers with jacuzzi, sauna and theater. Telephone and television lines are buried underground. There is even a wastewater treatment plant to ensure the quality of life of the people in the town. The swimming pool stopped working for a long time. (Photo: Internet) Quiet scene at a post office. (Photo: Internet) A bank facility that is no longer in operation but still lights up. (Photo: Internet) Almost 18 months after the first family settled in Kitsault, the molybdenum market began to decline due to severe degradation and the appearance of man-made molybdenum. The mines gradually closed and the people of Kitsault abandoned the town. Empty offices are neatly cleaned. (Photo: Internet) The library is still full of books, neat and clean as if used every day. (Photo: Internet) In 2005, Indian-American businessman Krishnan Suthanthiran bought the town for $7 million and planned to revive it. Since then, this millionaire has poured in here $ 25 million for upgrades and maintenance. More than 10 employees are employed to inspect and maintain buildings, mow lawns and sweep streets. So, even though no one lived, the town street lights were still on at night. After cleaning up, this town had difficulty being uninhabited, so the businessman asked the Canadian government to govern this town, which officially became the smallest autonomous town. in Canada. Hundreds of villas in the photo are still abandoned to this day. (Photo: Internet) During the crisis in the US, many people declared bankruptcy, the Canadian government stepped in to help and announced that the town of Kitsault would be a free place for everyone, the crisis was over and they started. fees until now. At this time, the town of Kitsault is fully equipped, brilliant all day and night, but still very few tourists come to visit.

The T-house is located between two other semi-detached houses in Tokyo. From the outside it looks like an ordinary house. But inside were holes in the walls and floor. On the first floor are the office and living room. The wooden steps are both a bookcase and a staircase leading to the second floor, but to climb it is necessary to jump. The movement between the 2 rooms by wooden stairs. The second floor is divided into 4 different rooms. Vines are planted on the higher floors, benches, tables and carpets are placed in a way that fits the moderate space of each floor. “This home is very flexible so occupants can change the layout to suit their lifestyle.” Designer Hiroyuki Shinozaki shared. “Although this house is only about 70 square meters, the design with the reduction of some walls makes it seem to expand and bring a new living space,” added Shinozaki. Stairs lead to other floors with rooms such as the kitchen, bedroom, dining room and second living space. With an airy design, hanging lights and natural light illuminate the house On the top floor there is a loft and storage space. The last steps of the house lead to the roof terrace. In 2013, a couple who ordered the house said they named the house Ninja House because they need to be as nimble as a Ninja to be able to move from room to room. “We see that our figure is getting better.” Hanae Terado – who lives in this house shared. “We also never fell.”

The main color is warm, open space design, making the most of light, the house in Long An by architect Anh Quy and his associates designed with the typical appearance of a tropical country. Architect Anh Quy shared, Long An is a sunny land. To reduce heat and help the house breathe, he incorporated a system of indoor and outdoor plants. The terrace is where the architect is most interested, with an open space that combines reasonably planted trees. Trees arranged in the house help prevent wind and dust, bringing vitality to the entire building. The total area of ​​the house is 345m2. The cost of finishing construction (with furniture) is about 6.5 billion – 7 billion (excluding design costs). Before designing, Mr. Quy and the owner spent time talking to find out their needs and ideas. Then, advise homeowners how to make the house beautiful and reasonable. From the actual needs of the guests, the architect will come up with ideas for the space, so that the house is beautiful, luxurious, and artistic. This house is for a family of 4, including 2 husband and wife and 2 children. The owner’s land is in the Southeast direction, so the owner wants the kitchen to be in the South, East or North direction. The living room is the gathering place of the family, but it must be unique and strange. The sofa is designed deep into the ground, creating a cosmic effect. Parents bedroom. Cute kid’s bedroom. The bathroom is covered with fancy pebbles, using the narrow corner as a storage shelf. The dining area has an arched glass design, getting sunlight during the day and stargazing at night. This area is planted with many tropical plants. The lobby leading to the rooms is arranged with more trees and wooden benches. Architect Anh Quy shared, the project is in the process of construction. It is expected to be completed in a few months.

French photographer Jeremy Buchholz didn’t have the money to buy an apartment in Bordeaux, so he decided to buy an abandoned garage and turn it into a great hideaway. This old garage has a big corrugated iron door and inside is a messy, dirty room. So, Jeremy Buchholz called his friend architect Matthieu de Marien, who specializes in renovating shops, offices and other spaces into homes. The front of the garage was formerly a rusted white corrugated board and has now been replaced with a sturdy sliding wood panel. Stepping into the house, you will gasp in surprise. The living space is very cozy and beautifully decorated, different from the outside. To make the space feel larger, De Marien created a “home within a house”: a large piece of furniture that includes a small bathroom, bedroom, desk, wardrobe, chair sofa and storage. All space is designed in this large furniture box. The rest of the house is open plan with kitchen, dining area, living room and front yard. Indoor skylights both bring in more natural light and create a more open feel.

Miss Khanh Van and beautiful representatives from different countries have completed two parts in turn: bikini performance and evening performance. Miss Khanh Van in evening dress today. In particular, Miss Khanh Van’s evening dress named “Dawn” inspired by the transition between darkness and light has left many beautiful impressions in the hearts of fans. Exchange with PLO, Stylist Tran Dat, who is in charge of Khanh Van’s costume at Miss Universe, said that this is the design of designer Thuong Gia Ky, inspired by the image of dawn transitioning between darkness. And the light. Why orange and not another color? Because orange has a special meaning for Miss Khanh Van. “This is the first color of the Ao Dai that Van’s father still chose and personally painted on the Ao Dai for Van when he first hit the entertainment industry. And luckily, Khanh Van got the title of Miss Ao Dai Vietnamese schoolgirl that year. Orange enjoys the strength of red, the warmth of yellow. Dawn is the transition between darkness and light,…Khanh Van and her team wanted to borrow that sacred light to attach to the dress that they will bring to the US, representing Vietnam in the fierce beauty arena. strongest on the planet”. Miss Khanh Van in bikini. COVID-19 is still a concern of the people of Vietnam and the world today. The Vietnamese people and government are still fighting the epidemic day by day. The reason for choosing the symbol of sunlight and not any other symbol is because it is the desire to rise in adversity, hope, ideal, and an absolute belief that: ”If you always facing the sunlight, your shadow will be cast behind. All our sorrows will be left behind and remind us to always look forward like optimism, faith in a brilliant future. Recently, the latest ranking of the beauty site Missosology predicts that Miss Khanh Van will enter the Top 10. Missosology predicts Miss Khanh Van will enter the Top 10.

First hunting trip One winter day at the end of February. Around 11 o’clock at night, my father and I eagerly drove to the northern suburbs of Calgary – Canada with the expectation of seeing a colorful moving Northern Lights. Northern Lights), aka Aurora Borealis, in a clear cloudless sky. We had never seen them in our lives, and the information about their occurrence was contained in a news report released by the weather agency, with a prediction accuracy of 35%. However, for astronomy lovers, photographers living in this country of maple leaves know that, thanks to its location in the sub-Arctic region, with less light pollution, Canada has become one of the most beautiful places in the world. The most powerful and beautiful aurora active spot in the world. In particular, towns in the Northern Territory of Canada such as Yellowknife, Whitehorse, Iqaluit, … are the places where the aurora occurs most often. Therefore, it is not surprising that most tour operators here exploit this type of aurora viewing, with an attractive offer: visitors have a 90% chance of seeing this amazing phenomenon. Moreover, during the winter, from October to April next year, when Aurora often occurs, the whole North America region in general with the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan,… and the northwestern provinces of Canada in particular. also “follow” observing this masterpiece of art from this universe. Results of the first trip to hunt the first aurora in February 2021. Photo of Tran The Dung Turning onto the dirt road through the snow-covered meadows and the quiet scattered farms in the middle of the night, from the car, we looked up at the sky. There was no sign of anything out of the ordinary except for thousands of twinkling stars floating around. Going a little further, we discovered a faint cloud to the northwest and it seemed to be iridescent, flashing light and dark. Had to turn back and find a way to run right there to see clearly. Still not seeing the cloud glow green – a common signal when the aurora appears that many “Aurora hunters” talk about, but hunch plus unusual strange points around the clouds make them I believe this is the aurora. Even though it’s minus 20 degrees Celsius outside at the moment, we decided to take the camera out to shoot with exposure techniques, as the camera gathers light longer than the human eye. The result is stunning: a pair of ribbons of blue light against a starry sky appear on the camera monitor. The first Aurora hunting trip, with our own efforts, we discovered and captured “her”, although not gorgeous and magical, but also inspired us to continue to learn and accept. many useful experiences. The secret to finding “her” Aurora activity is monitored by spacecraft, and all data on their activity levels are converted to Kp readings, which range from 0 to 9. The higher the Kp number, the more likely it is to have an aurora. the larger the optical. Aurora appeared during a hunting trip in March 2021. Photo of Tran The Dung From Kp 5 and above, scientists warn that they are geomagnetic storms, or solar wind storms, because they can cause problems for radio stations, the national power grid, etc. However, with the Astronomy enthusiasts, photographers, this intensity ignited the hope of experiencing the most intense movement of light. However, that chance is only 50%, the rest is the weather factor. Must be clear sky, clear clouds. The intensity and duration of Aurora is as strong as a weather forecaster, but the risk is that they are hidden when they appear, sometimes dim, and sometimes appear like a red-haired teenage girl. On nights when the aurora is forecast to appear, with a level of Kp 5 or higher, they can stretch for thousands of kilometers, so it is likely to see “her” almost anywhere in Alberta, as long as at midnight when it is darkest and not polluted by light from urban areas, residential areas, full moon. Dispersion of artificial light or moonlight will interfere with tracking, reduce the ability to display the colors of the aurora, even when taking pictures will give inaccurate results. If you have no experience, it is better to go to the northern countryside, find the quiet country roads, the darkness is thick. Alternatively, consult the map of Aurora hunting spots on the Alberta Aurora Hunters Association website. However, the above tips to help people easily access the “Northern lights”, but no one is sure when it will appear, because this is a phenomenon of solar wind, beyond human control. Even forecast bulletins only give an accuracy of 35-50%, not to mention at the last minute it increases or decreases in level or disappears. Aurora appeared during the fifth hunting trip in April 2021. The author uses the Time-lapse technique to take over 200 photos and then combine them into a short clip of just a few tens of seconds to see the movement and splendid colors of the aurora. Photo of Tran The Dung Pursue to the end After the first trip, we continued to pursue three more times, but only once captured the “dancing girl” in a very short time. Our perseverance and perseverance are finally rewarded. It was near midnight on the last day of April, the weather in Alberta was beginning to spring, and it was also the end of the northern aurora hunting season in Canada. On a remote road in the city of Airdrie, more than 50km from home, Do Thanh and I – a Vietnamese photographer living in Calgary – drove to find a suitable location, prepare the hunt after receiving information. tonight aurora will appear with KP level 6 and many positive signs. We seem to be late because at this hour, every corner of the Airdrie farm area is parked with aurora enthusiasts’ cars. Not to mention, the car ran back and forth, rushing to find a place like going to watch hockey. There is indeed folly in chasing after something in the sky. In the end, we found a dilapidated old warehouse in the middle of nowhere to serve as the foreground for upcoming photos. As time went by, we still sat with our eyes wide and waited, forgetting the cold of minus 6 degrees Celsius. Occasionally, I headed to the north or northwest to take pictures to check the change of the sky showing blue colors. gem. Suddenly, wow, it showed up! Magnificent aurora lights appear in the province of Alberta – Canada. Do Thanh’s photo We both exclaimed as we saw the sky begin to sparkle before erupting in the shape of a bow and changing color continuously from yellow, green, blue to purple. Then “boom”, they move violently, sometimes dancing and undulating, sometimes shooting into the sky like fireworks. Imagine if there was a symphony orchestra at this time, this place would turn into a stage filled with splendid and magical light with many levels. We were hypnotized by them, confused, fumbling with our hands and feet, and then quickly switched to Time-lapse shooting (automatically taking multiple photos with equal exposure) to catch the changes of the aurora and make videos when needed, although shooting this type of photography will reduce the life of the camera. Returning home at more than 3am, we were both hungry and quite tired but our emotions were still high. Asked if he would go again next time, photographer Do Thanh shared: “Hunting aurora is similar to fishing, in addition to helping anglers practice patience and temper, it is necessary to observe, brainstorm to find understand prey; Once you’ve caught a fish, you’ll want to catch a bigger fish next time.” According to Roman mythology, Aurora was the name of the dawn goddess who traveled from east to west to announce the arrival of the sun, but in astronomy, Aurora means aurora – a strange optical phenomenon. Animals appear in the night sky in places located near the North and South poles of the Earth. They are produced by a stream of plasma particles from the solar wind entering the earth’s atmosphere and interacting with molecules, nitrogen and oxygen atoms and stimulating these molecules to emit light (Aurora) of all colors. color: cyan, blue, pink, red and purple with clicking or squeaking sound. Usually the aurora rays are bright at an altitude of 100 km and cover the vast sky. Tran The Dung (Ho Chi Minh City Young Generation Travel Company)

According to architect (Architect) Khuong Van Muoi, former Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City Association of Architects, it is very necessary to bring air, light and trees into the house. Trees help reduce the heat on summer days, bring fresh air into the house, create comfort for residents. One of the simple ways to bring nature into the house is to design an airy space with lots of openings and wide doors to let the wind circulate. Besides, using good light-absorbing materials such as glass, bright plastic to bring natural light into the house. Trees may be few but arranged in appropriate positions, taking advantage of small trees that can be hung in windows, atriums… Using every pine space to plant trees is the best way to bring nature into the house. Photo: THU TRINH “Green trees should be planted around the house and balcony to bring fresh space. Do not plant many plants in the bedroom because trees absorb O2 and emit CO2, if planted too much will make it difficult for people to breathe when the door is closed. In addition, for small houses, wind and light are even more essential. Therefore, we need to design the house so that natural light enters the house and good ventilation” – Architect Khuong Van Muoi shared. In addition, architect Huynh Bao Toan, Director of a mobile home supplier, shared: In order to bring nature into a small house, in addition to planting trees, homeowners should arrange it reasonably and simply. For small houses, placing too many bulky items will make the space cramped, making it difficult for the air to circulate. Therefore, it is recommended to use simple furniture, smart furniture because they help the house become more spacious and airy. “A suitable arrangement of furniture will have more green space. Currently, the use of smart furniture is very popular, for example, using a sofa in combination with a bed, a dining table with a desk to take up less space,” shared architect Huynh Bao Toan.

Night Shift feature on iPhone (Image: The Verge) In the description, Apple says that the Night Shift feature on its mobile devices “can help users sleep better”. The reason given by the company is that when the user turns on this feature, the light from the screen will turn into “blue light” thereby helping the user to easily fall asleep. But in a recent study shows the exact opposite, not only does it not make the user sleep easily, this mode also makes the quality of the user’s sleep worse. The study, published in the journal Sleep Health, tracked the sleep of 167 people for a week. These people are divided into three groups: one that uses a phone with Night Shift on for an hour before bed, one group does the same but does not have Night Shift on, and a group does not use a phone at all. before sleep. “There is no difference between the three groups,” said Chad Jensen, “there are even people for whom having Night Shift turned on isn’t as good as using a phone without having that feature activated.” This result is in line with early skepticism that the Night Shift feature isn’t really helping to improve the quality of a user’s sleep, especially since Apple doesn’t announce which wavelengths of light will be blocked when the user turns it on. this feature. While blue light and using your phone before bed can reduce the quality of your sleep, there are still many other variables that need to be considered. The researchers are also quite surprised when the group of people who do not use their phones before bed is not sure to have a perfect sleep. Before the experiment, Jesen and colleagues determined that they had to see the best sleep on the off-phone group, then the group that turned on Night Shift and finally the group turned it off. “But we were a bit surprised that the results were not what we expected.” This was especially true of university student participants who had a pre-existing sleep deprivation. “When people are already very sleepy, whether or not they use their phone before bed is not so important anymore. Since your needs are so high at that stage, you will fall asleep quite easily. whether you turn Night Shift on or off or even use the phone “. Jasen shares. The small differences related to cell phone usage observed by the research team were related to the amount of sleep the participants had. Among students who slept more than 7 hours, those who did not use their phones slept better and woke less in the middle of the night than those who used the phone before bed. But for those who slept less than 7 hours, there was no difference in sleep quality, regardless of whether they used the phone before bed or not. To explain this bizarre phenomenon, Jensen lists a myriad of factors that can affect your sleep apart from using your phone, such as caffeine use, exercise, temperature, and amount of light. , noise, bedtime … Results show that it is not only blue light that causes difficulty sleeping. Your psychological, emotional, and well-being will also affect the quality of your sleep. Raj Dasgupta, a sleep medicine specialist at the University of Southern California, said: “Sleep is such a personalized element that there won’t be one feature that will suit everyone. are more sensitive to light and may find blue light filtering helpful, but that won’t be the only solution to better sleep for others. ” For phones, there’s more to consider than blue light exposure, according to Jensen. “All other non-light stimuli can affect the quality of your sleep. If you’re reading a boring article or watching a funny video on TikTok before bed, That level of alertness and interaction will probably interfere with your ability to fall asleep. Blue light filtering now won’t compensate for that effect. “

The “butterfly” intersection on the Truong Sa – Hoang Sa route intersects Vo Nguyen Giap road (Vinh Ngoc commune, Dong Anh district, Hanoi). Nhat Tan Bridge is an important project of the city when it shortens the distance from the center to Noi Bai airport. Modern decorative lights help the bridge change color continuously at night. This bridge crosses the Red River and was inaugurated in early 2015. Its length reaches 3.7 km, width 33.2 m with 8 lanes. 5 cable-stayed spans represent the image of 5 doors.

Recently, billionaire Bill Gates and his wife – Melinda Gates announced on Twitter that they will divorce after 27 years of marriage. According to Forbes, Bill Gates is currently the 4th richest person in the world with a net worth of $ 130.5 billion. Bill Gates and his wife have many real estate properties, including a 6,100 square meter mansion in Washington. Bill Gates’ mansion was built in 7 years and cost 63 million USD. Before that, Bill Gates bought this land for $ 2 million in 1988. Located on a hillside surrounded by tall trees, the villa is covered with greenery with lots of plants. The work was first completed in 1992 with a 170-square-meter guest house area. This guest house has one bedroom, one bathroom. These are the first places where the technology is tested for future use in the main building. Nearly 500,000 trees were used to build this house, including 500-year-old fir trees. There is also an artificial stream next to the villa for fish release. The villa area has 24 bathrooms, 10 of which are fully equipped with amenities. Bill Gate’s garage can accommodate 23 vehicles, distributed in various areas around the building. In addition, the Bill Gates mansion also has a total of 6 kitchens, located in different places and the staff can be ready for any event, any time. The entire villa is installed with high-tech sensors to monitor the climate and light. Upon arrival at the house, guests are given a panel that interacts with sensors installed throughout the house. They can go to temperature and light to adjust according to their preferences. The wall-mounted speaker system plays music with every step through the rooms. Even the path to the house is also heated. The cinema room is nearly 140 m2, extremely spacious and comfortable for 20 guests. There is also a popcorn machine with a choice of corn and butter. The 18-meter-deep swimming pool is located in a private building of more than 360 square meters. The swimming pool is also equipped with an underwater music sound system. Photo source: BI.

Participants in the “Deep Time” study emerged from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. After 40 days of voluntary isolation, on April 24, a group of volunteers consisting of 15 people participating in a scientific experiment called Deep Time came out of the vast Lombrives cave in southwestern France. They consisted of eight men and seven women living in the deep, dark and wet caves to help researchers understand how humans adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. They have no watches, no sunlight, and have no contact with the outside world. With bright smiles on their pale faces, 15 volunteers left the Lombrives cave in cheering applause. They must wear special glasses to protect their eyes after long periods of time in the dark. When returning to the ground, all the volunteers wore special glasses to avoid shock to the light. Photo: AP. Marina Lancon, 33, one of seven female members in the test, said: “This is like being pressed on an emergency pause button.” Ms. Marina still wanted to be able to stay in the cave for a few more days, but she also said she was happy to see the wind blowing in her face again and to hear birds singing in the trees in the French Pyréneés. And she said, in a few days she has no plans to reopen her smartphone to hope to avoid a “too brutal” return to real life. The group of volunteers began to return from the ground. Photo: AP. For 40 days and nights, the team lived and explored the caves as part of the Deep Time project. There is no sunlight inside, the temperature is 10 degrees C and the relative humidity is 100 percent. The cave dwellers had no contact with the outside world, had no pandemic updates, nor any contact information with friends or family. Scientists at the Human Adaptation Institute leading the 1.2 million euros ($ 1.5 million) “Deep Time” project, said this experiment will help them better understand how people adapt to drastic changes in conditions and habitats. Because they don’t have a clock, team members keep an eye on their circadian clock to know when to wake up, go to bed, and eat. They count their days not by hours, but by their sleep cycle. Therefore, Project Director, Mr. Christian Clot was surprised that the time in the cave was over: “We think it’s only been 30 days.” The estimate of one team member is only 23 days. Members participating in the Deep Time project study speak during the press conference after returning from the Lombrives Cave after 40 days underground. Photo: AP. Working with laboratories in France and Switzerland, the scientists tracked the 15 members’ sleep patterns, social interactions, and behavioral responses via sensors. This sensor is designed as a small thermometer inside a capsule that participants swallow like a pill. It measures body temperature and transmits data to a computer until it is naturally cleared out. On April 23, the scientists told the study subjects they would be out soon. After the 40-day challenge, 2/3 of the group still wished to stay in the cave for a little more time. Photo: AP. On April 24, when they were released from the cave, although the participants looked tired, two-thirds of the participants expressed a wish to stay underground a little longer to complete group projects. At the beginning of the expedition, said Benoit Mauvieux, a biologist involved in the study. “Our future as humans on this planet will flourish,” said Clot after exiting the cave. “We have to learn to better understand how our brains are able to find new solutions, in any situation.”

“Over time, you often feel restless and agitated,” she said. This interferes with your ability to enjoy the apartment and prevents you from spending time at home. ” Here are the things to avoid when arranging and building a living space: 1. Room lacks natural light “Tight spaces, especially without windows, can create anxiety and trigger panic attacks,” says Cecille Ahrens, another therapist. People in confined spaces are more susceptible to stress, feeling overwhelmed, and difficulty concentrating, Ahrens added. If you live in a windowless space, therapists recommend going outdoors to improve your mood. “I always recommend that people take a little time each day, even if it’s only for a few minutes, in sunlight to reduce stress.” Tiara Christian – a person living in a 400m2 apartment, also used mirrors to amplify natural light, to help the living space not feel cramped. Tiara Christian’s indoor mirrors reflect natural light. 2. Lack of room dividers Although a cramped space can be stressful, if the room is too large you will have less privacy, according to therapist Rojas and therapist Weena Cullins. “The room’s ventilation can lead to constant distraction and loneliness,” says Rojas. “Many people need room and separation to make video calls to work or school,” she said. To improve this, Anju Abraham – an apartment tenant in Washington, USA, has used room dividers to create a private space when visitors arrive. If you do not want to build a partition, you should use a screen to separate it. Anju Abraham uses room dividers to create privacy. 3. Lack of storage space To maintain order in a small space, figuring out how to store items is not easy. Experts recommend investing in furniture with a variety of functions, such as seats, beds, and bottom storage. Another tip is to clean up your belongings regularly. The bed serves as a storage space. 4. Work and relax in the same space Therapists advise against working and relaxing in the same space. Therapist Ariel Sank said: “During the past year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many people working from home made it difficult for them to separate work from their personal lives. When working right next to your bed, it can be difficult to concentrate. When it comes time to rest, you are also not comfortable because you are distracted by computers, work books right next to you. “By creating a separate area, where work and relax, you not only create physical separation, but also mental separation,” Ariel Sank said.

He adds neon effects to his already completed artwork. Thanks to the ability of Maxim Sipakov, the tattoo series look more vivid. The light runs along the tattoo thanks to the neon light effect. Photo: @ m.sipakov_official. Maxim Sipakov has added neon effects to tattoos such as Joker portraits, artistic shapes … Light running along the drawing creates a vivid feeling. Besides, each part of the tattoo is decorated with a different color. Maxim Sipakov has a habit of sharing pictures of the work on his personal page and attaching the name of the tattoo artist who made it. The Russian artist’s abilities are not limited to tattoos, he also applies neon effects on nail polish. In addition to the beauty field, Maxim Sipakov often works with stills. Before that, he became famous for helping a series of photos of soccer players glow. Now, the illuminated images are all done digitally. Applying neon lights directly to tattoos is not possible because it requires a long research and testing process. The ability of the Russian artist to make the drawings look more vivid. Photo: @ m.sipakov_official. Before that, many people showed off glowing tattoos made by UV tattoo techniques. UV tattoos are only visible under ultraviolet light. Some of the popular colors of this trend are green, yellow, orange and neon blue. Allure The pain of UV tattoo is not different from normal tattoo. However, UV tattoos are not recommended as it may cause itching, blistering, or dry skin. Besides, the drawing can only last for about 5 years and will fade away. The king of tattoos in America Mike Perfetto has about 40 years in the profession. He has tattooed for generations in a family.

GS Xiulin Ruan next to new paint The paint is capable of reflecting 98% of sunlight as well as ultraviolet (UV) rays through the atmosphere into the space. During the test, this paint makes the surface temperature 4.50C lower than ambient temperature, even in strong sunlight. It is expected that this paint can be available on the market in 1-2 years. Reflective white paints are now much better than dark roofing materials, but only reflect 80% -90% of sunlight and absorb UV. This means they cannot cool surfaces below ambient temperature. New coatings do this, resulting in fewer need for air conditioners and reduced air conditioning emissions. “Our paint can help fight global warming by helping to cool the earth, which is the coolest point,” said Professor Xiulin Ruan of the research group at Purdue University. According to Professor Xiulin Ruan, painting a roof with an area of ​​93 square meters will save 10kW of electricity consumption of the air conditioner. The substance playing an important role in this new paint is barium sulphate. Unlike conventional titanium dioxide pigments, it does not absorb UV rays. This super white paint uses standard acrylic solvents and can be manufactured like conventional paints, the researchers said. The new paint will cost the same as today’s paints, they added, because barium sulfate is actually cheaper than titanium dioxide. However, it is necessary to evaluate the durability of this paint for a longer time.

Delicious but delicious food. To make the dish is not too difficult, just a little cumbersome. Dried shrimp to make this dish must be earth shrimp (river shrimp) so that it is not friable, not sandy and soft. Take shrimp to soak in warm water to soft, take out the dirt, rinse and drain. Create a mixture of broth, including fish sauce, monosodium glutamate, seasoning seeds, sugar, and filtered water to suit the family taste. Remember that fish sauce used in the warehouse must be a delicious fish sauce, if there is a homemade fish sauce, the better. Because the pot is delicious or bad is the strong scent of the fish sauce. Particularly, the bacon just chopped the rectangle with the little finger or the square and then brought it to the pan to produce oil. Separate lard and meat separately. To the main stage of the dish. The pot used to make the match must be the clay pot to taste it because it slowly absorbs the spices, blends the aroma of soil and especially holds the heat longer. However, if you do not have a clay pot, you can still use an aluminum pan instead. Place the pot on the stove, add some lard that was pressed earlier. Until the fat is boiling, add the purple onion and minced garlic to scent it up. Add dried shrimp to stir-fry, then pour the mixture of stock water into the pot. During the storage process, continue to leave the whole-fruit (or dangerous peppers) buffalo horn, green pepper, scallion to spread the pungent flavor. Let the fire simmer until the pot turns the candy sharp, bring the bacon to mix. Tasting again to taste, then turn off the heat. This hot dish will be very delicious. Any boiled or raw vegetables can be served with a braised dish. The quintessential aroma of fish sauce blends with the fatty taste of pork, the sweetness of dried shrimp and the spiciness of spices to make a delicious dish. Pick up a piece of boiled vegetables “swip” into the “warehouse” pot and then eat it with rice, making the taste buds strongly stimulating. The warehouse can also be a snack or eat with sweet potatoes, burnt rice. Eating rice with braised salt, in addition to changing the taste is also a way to help us remember a difficult time in the past.

White is a color that is appropriate for all kitchens. If the counters, cabinets and walls are all using white, your kitchen will look harmonious. Especially, because this is a bright color, it will help the kitchen space look more spacious and airy. Reduces color difference in the kitchen interior Don’t create too many themes or colors in the same space, especially the kitchen area. This will not be suitable for a space that is limited in area. It is best to decorate the same theme, this will make the kitchen more spacious and airy. The kitchen must be exposed to light Do not take natural light lightly, this is also the reason why architects always design a light-filled kitchen space because light will help the area look wider, creating ventilation. Of course, light will also create abundant positive energy for homeowners. Choose furniture that looks well ventilated Interior is airy, the kitchen also looks brighter and more spacious. Therefore, the selection and decoration of the interior of the kitchen area should be carefully considered. Because this is an important factor determining the width and tightness of the kitchen space. Use shelves instead of sturdy cabinets Another way to make the kitchen look wider is to use an open storage shelf instead of a sturdy cabinet. With open, borderless storage shelves without cover, it will reduce the area while making the kitchen more ventilated and cooler./.

The big screen and big lens are what attracts me the most about Mi 11 Ultra. A mobile phone always has some gimmicks, otherwise I don’t know what to say when I introduce it to others. And the huge rear lens design of Ultra is enough to become a hot topic for everyone to discuss.

The reason why it is so big is because Xiaomi has inserted the largest GN2 image sensor in the current mobile phone industry into the Ultra’s body. It is said that the bottom level is crushing people. At least in terms of area, Ultra’s image sensor is already unmatched. . The big bottom can capture more light, easily take brighter and clearer photos, and GN2 also has stronger focusing ability and night scene ability, of course 8K video is also supported. The three lenses are just right, at least in terms of composition, they are all lenses with strong practical value. Xiaomi also emphasized that these three lenses are all main camera-level lenses, thus ensuring stable image quality at different focal lengths.

The outsole, the large lens, and a small screen form the entire Ultra back lens module, which is recognizable in appearance. With a white ceramic body, it has both texture and beauty. Of course, different people have different opinions on appearance, and everyone has different aesthetics.

At the first glance of opening the camera, the picture in the preview box is basically the same as the picture seen by the human eye, but the color is slightly faint; the arrangement of various function buttons is clear, the upper part is the auxiliary function setting, and the lower part is the camera mode selection. Compared with the iPhone, the camera of Android phones will have many interesting functions built-in, such as beauty, movie mode, macro mode, tilt-shift shooting, etc. You can manually choose to turn off and on. Although it is a little complicated, it is also enhanced. Playability.

I pressed the shutter and took a few photos. The sudden delay caught me off guard. Obviously, the shutter has been pressed, but the camera hasn’t responded for a long time. This is an accident, but the frequency is not low, and it also makes the photo experience very fragmented. The same sense of fragmentation is also reflected in the multi-zoom switching. The rough switching without transition is really not elegant. Although it is innocuous, it can’t be called the performance of a flagship machine. This kind of software optimization problem does not only appear in the process of taking pictures, there will be some small bugs or inadequate optimization points in the whole process of using the machine, which will seriously affect the performance of Ultra’s flagship. Fortunately, these problems will be resolved later, and all that needs to be done now is to wait patiently.

In addition, there are several camera problems that bother me very much. Since these problems may be my own feelings, I will only list them.

1. The ultra-wide-angle distortion is serious, and the image quality loss is serious in the dark environment;

2. 5Difficult to focus, often pull the bellows;

3. The viewfinder is not displayed in full resolution. I am not sure about this. I personally feel that it is not as comfortable as an iPhone;

4. The color shift of the three lenses is large. I have said a lot of shortcomings, not because of deliberately embarrassing 11 Ultra, but because of giving enough expectations.

   There are also many good places, including:

5. The natural optimization effect brought by the outsole. You don’t need to turn on the portrait mode to take close-up shots, and you can get a good blur effect when you take a shot. This is a natural blur, not an effect that can be compared with computational photography.

   2, 2 and 5 the creative fun brought by zoom. I have expressed my love for multiple zooms many times, and many proofs are also taken with 2. The hard power of GN2 makes 2 still have good picture quality and tolerance even after the main camera is cropped. 5 and Periscope 10 are even more powerful tools for shooting distant scenes.

6. Later fun brought by software functions. Xiaomi’s photo album features are very rich, with a wealth of filters, as well as magical magic, you can also directly add stickers, text, frames, etc. to photos.

   Next are some samples taken with 11 Ultra for your reference.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   After taking the picture, let’s talk about other things

   I really like the appearance of the 11 Ultra, especially the rear lens module design. Although the bulge is strong, it is also recognizable because of this. This is the 11 Ultra, and there is no doubt that it will not be mistaken.Of course, more people hate this design. On the one hand, it is visually uncoordinated. On the other hand, there are some inconveniences due to such a strong bulge. For example, there will be nowhere to put the hands close to the lens module when playing games.

   

   As for the weight, it is very heavy, but it doesn’t make me feel top-heavy, and the bulge of the lens module is just enough to let the fingers rest on the phone. It feels safe when standing on the subway and playing with the phone. The look and feel of the ceramic back cover is completely different from that of glass. It is gentle and delicate, just like holding an ex-girlfriend’s hand.

   

   All the buttons are integrated on the right side of the fuselage, which is quite convenient to use, but the size of such a large fuselage is definitely more difficult for girls to hold. The upper and lower frame design is very simple, and the dual-speaker sound quality is good, much better than the iPhone 12 Pro used before. Infrared transmitter is a function that iPhone will never experience. It is very convenient to control the air conditioner and TV daily.

   

   The screen is amazing

   Don’t forget the slogan of Xiaomi Mi 11-a good screen. This one-billion-color four-curved screen is one of the top-level screens that deserves it, not to mention that it also supports 2K+120Hz simultaneous opening. The screen display itself is a very subjective thing. Everyone has different preferences and tendencies, but this Xiaomi screen is one of the few screens that made me amazed at first sight, even better than this year’s OPPO and OnePlus’s screens. All amazed me.

   

   The screen display of Android phones often has a variety of color styles. I prefer the primary color mode of the 11 Ultra, which is the most natural display mode that restores the original color of the content. At the same time, 2K and 120Hz must be turned on, which brings silky high-definition enjoyment. I must also praise that Ultra’s automatic brightness function really makes me very satisfied, almost as smart and reliable as the iPhone.

   Of course, there are some regrets. The 11 Ultra does not support the original color display function similar to the iPhone, and the 120Hz high brush does not achieve global coverage like the Samsung S21 series. The curved screen still cannot avoid accidental touch, and the edge return is sometimes not so sensitive.

   

   On the back of the screen, I have not explored any practical application points, because I did not put a film on the phone screen, so I would not choose to buckle the phone on the desktop, so I can’t see the content on this small window.

   Battery life and heat

   The originally highly anticipated Snapdragon 888 can only be reminiscent of heat and high power consumption. Although it is not called a fire dragon, under many heavy load scenarios, the continuous performance output of 888 is indeed less stable than that of 865. (The above is extracted from the major evaluations).

   

   In my actual use, the glory of the king with the highest special effects turned on in a round can feel the heat emitted by the body in about 20 minutes. The heat is concentrated under the lens module, and the perception is more obvious. In addition, if you are a serious game enthusiast, you must choose 11 Ultra carefully, because the thick lens module seriously affects the feel of the game.

   

   What’s more disturbing than fever is battery life. Regardless of the large 5000mAh battery of 11 Ultra, it feels no different from Android 4000mAh mobile phones in daily use. The most exaggerated thing happened on the first working day after I got the phone. 40% of the electricity was consumed on the subway, and I only stayed on the subway for less than 40 minutes.

   In addition to the 2K+120Hz high-speed brush, 5G is also a typical power-hungry consumer, so I generally turn off the 5G network, and the battery life will be improved significantly. The problem of large power consumption has been improved to a certain extent in the update of version 12.10. The actual use time can be extended by about 1 hour, which also reflects that the road to system optimization of 11 Ultra is still very long.

   MIUI

   Good hardware must have good software to play its full strength. Obviously, 11 Ultra and MIUI do not cooperate well.

   Frame dropping, power consumption, heat generation, and system bugs such as screen cuts and dislocations and application crashes are not rare. Of course, I believe that Xiaomi will solve these problems, and pay attention to the stability of the system while adding new functions.

   In addition, I still have to complain about the proliferation of MIUI advertisements. I have not used MIUI for many years. I can’t accept that there are so many advertisements on my mobile phone. It is refreshing and clean by turning off one by one according to the operation guide given by cool friends.

   The system localization and convenience functions are very rich. The more important thing is that the notification function of MIUI makes me feel that it is almost the same as the iPhone experience. I can receive the notifications I want to receive, which is very reliable~

   MIUI is a system with historical accumulation and unique thinking. After 11 Ultra updates the 12.5 system, another article will introduce it in detail~

   to sum up

   In my opinion, the 11 Ultra is not a regular digital flagship. It has a bold design and powerful hardware configuration. Even if it is a little exaggerated, it has enough qualifications. On the road to hit the high-end, Xiaomi tried many times but there was no strong response. Although the 11 Ultra has taken off violently, it is a bit insufficient from the current second-hand transaction price.

   I have been jumping horizontally between iPhone and Android phones many times. What impressed me is the rich functions and imaginative appearance and configuration of Android phones. However, in terms of system stability, Android phones have never been able to do the same as the iPhone. Reliable, just like the 11 Ultra camera, the shutter response delay problem still exists after several system updates. Therefore, on the basis of rapid update and iteration, Android phones should slow down appropriately so that the software and hardware can be better matched, so as to be able to exert the strongest strength.

   

   At present, it seems that I will continue to use 11 Ultra for a period of time. On the one hand, this multi-fold telephoto really brings me a lot of fun in taking pictures, and on the other hand, because the value of 11 Ultra has depreciated so quickly that it can’t be replaced. The Samsung S21 Ultra I originally intended. I hope that during this time, Xiaomi can strengthen the optimization of the system, especially the expected MIUI12.5, which is the match that Android Light should have.

Light-colored furniture may look beautiful and luxurious, but it feels like being in a showroom, making visitors feel unnatural by feeling the need to keep everything clean. “If the host often feels clean and tries to keep it clean, it can be stressful for the guests. They really want to be comfortable but they are afraid of creating stains or leaving stains on the interior, ”says psychotherapist Cullins. 2. Insufficient lighting Insufficient light in rooms can cause inconvenience in living and create feelings of sadness and depression. While rooms with too much light can interfere with sleep and relaxation. It is important to consider the function of each room in the house and adjust the light level to suit the intended use. Psychotherapist Cecille Ahrens says that using neutral tones and sunlight can help relax and increase concentration. According to studies on psychology and color correlation, white and green light is believed to help treat depression. 3. Mixed sound Noise is one of the most common stressors and comes in many forms, including TV sounds and conversations in the home. One advice from psychotherapist Mark Loewen is that, if the TV makes you feel stressed, switch to soothing music to relax. 4. TV screen Ahrens says watching too much TV can be stressful, especially if it happens a lot in one space. 5. The living room was cluttered “A cluttered and disorganized space can cause mental turmoil, making us feel uncomfortable and stressful,” says Cullins. Getting tangled or tangled in the wires of the TV and radio speakers can also cause visual discomfort for some people. That clutter gives our brains more intuitive information to process, which in turn makes it impossible for the brain to relax. 6. Old stuff Old, outdated furniture can make your mood worse. “If the sofa in your living room is old, dirty or outdated, you may not feel comfortable in the space,” says Ahrens. 7. Working in living room Work and rest should not coexist in the same space. However, in the past 2020, it is difficult for many people to separate work from their personal lives. That has made the job not as effective as expected. “By separating the workspace from the relaxation space, you create not only physical separation, but also mental separation,” says psychotherapist Ariel Sank, a psychotherapist. While this can be difficult living in a small space, simply changing the desk position and orientation can be of great help. Dieu Linh (According to Insider)

This house is located in the Mizuki Park project area, with the scale of one ground floor and two floors. When talking with the owner, the designer understands that the owner is someone interested in cooking and eating. In particular, you are Chinese, so the arrangement of the kitchen function is very careful.

How to have many shelves, make the most of the space without making the space heavy. To solve this, with the kitchen cabinet system, the designer has combined the storage cabinet into a unified block, and processed the curves of the cabinet wings to create a softer feel.

Instead of arranging the kitchen at the end of the house as usual, the designer did the opposite, bringing the kitchen to the front, the dining table to the back of the house, organized a large kitchen island in the center to exploit the darkness. multi-function of this area.

Thanks to that, on the holidays, when crowded guests and relatives gather, the kitchen island becomes the center of all activities, everyone can cook and talk together.

The designer added: “Because the family also has two small children, I want to create a youthful, gentle atmosphere through the use of bright color materials, the treatment of curved arches and ceilings. curved.

The kitchen island is also created with a soft, alternative shape to remove the straight and square lines that are often seen in street houses. Besides, in order to avoid the feeling that the shelves are a rigid and heavy block, I used green marble shelves to create a feeling of freshness, contrasting with the paint effect of the kitchen island and that created a highlight for the overall layout of the project ”.

Another interesting thing about this townhouse is the living space and study corner on the second floor. From the bedroom, the designer introduced indirect light into the child’s study area through the sliding glass wall. This solution also makes it feel like the bedroom is visually enlarged.

Besides, it is also convenient for parents to observe children learning and playing. In this space, the design is limited to cumbersome details, the color is also simple to create a feeling of airy and wider.

With the design of a townhouse, just a few small changes can bring great value. The same thing can be realized in this house: an extremely spacious and well-ventilated kitchen on the ground floor, the common living area connecting all members between private spaces … just that has brought many values ​​and differences for the living space of a young family. That is enough!

Skylights are a popular architectural solution in today’s housing projects, aiming to exploit light and ventilation for townhouses that lack airy surfaces. Being part of a technical element, but a skylight brings a certain aesthetic value and freshness, is a highlight for the interior space of the house.

The skylight next to the stairs, under the skylight is a distinctive staircase as a highlight.

In fact, the sky well has existed since ancient times. In the tube-shaped townhouses in the old quarter of Hanoi, Hoi An, Saigon Cholon area … the well has been applied in construction design to ensure natural lighting and ventilation. These townhouses have a narrow width and great length (depth) – up to tens of meters and also have only 1 or 2 modest open sides (front and back); Meanwhile, the space used by functional rooms stretches along the depth of the house. Skylights here may have roofs, they may not have roofs like an inner courtyard (mostly roofless), architectural form and materials different from current housing, but the nature of the well is still the same. : a clearing from… in the sky, to exploit light and ventilation.

You can watch the whole staircase system from the well.

Skylight is a technical architectural solution to get natural light and ventilation, the solution of microclimate environment; But in fact, the skylight becomes a special space, a highlight of the house. Normally, to exploit the maximum efficiency, the sky well is usually placed in the middle of the house. At that location, sky wells can be exploited to 3 sides (one side is usually adjacent to the boundary wall), for bedroom spaces, toilets, stairs, corridors … or other functional rooms. That central location makes the skylight absorb the vision, make visual impression and easy to invest and care for the beautiful sky, making even the adjacent large space such as the common living room, kitchen … also beautiful. than. Of course, there are also houses with more than one well, and not all houses with a sky well are in the middle of the house.

Skylights are a fairly familiar part of a townhouse today. Sky wells have become necessary, indispensable in the condition of “crowded land”, crowded together in urban areas, and clear conditions of land for house construction are very difficult. There are no similar skylights. Each house is different, each owner has a preference, each architect has an idea … However, there are still common common points to note in order for the “highlight” in the house to be useful in the function. and optimize, as well as overcome disadvantages:

– Sky well is a tube, so the sound transmitted in the well is very clear and resonant. People sitting downstairs talking, people upstairs can hear; lose privacy or annoy each other. So the wall areas in the skylight should not be all smooth and smooth. Need some rough, lumpy patches for sound absorption; such as using hemp paint, cladding natural stone, brick cards, building ceiling tiles …

– If the sky well has no roof, the well bottom must organize the drainage well, and the bottom of the well must be large enough as well as the surrounding area must have a barrier system (walls, walls, doors) for rainwater to fall. Sky well bottom floor does not shoot into the clean living spaces

– With roofed skylights, it is important to note the main wind direction of the area to have a reasonable roof solution, in case when it rains, there is strong wind, it will pour rain through the crevices and openings of the roof to the roof.

– Decorative lights, hanging plants (if any) on the walls of the skylight well must be within reach or have a safety solution to control, avoid difficulties in need of maintenance and repair of lamps – electricity. , take care of bonsai.

– If under the skylight is not a fixed area such as an aquarium, ornamental garden, but a place of passage, or living space; do not hang pots, lamps, or other large – heavy decorations above it can be dangerous.

– The windows, corridors and stairs adjacent to the skylight must have handrails, iron flowers, ensuring safety standards. (height, gap distance)

– In some areas, the summer sun is very hot, especially at noon, the sun shines directly into the wells, which can cause excess light, glare, damage – damage to wooden floors, furniture; It is possible to install a ceiling curtain system under the skylight roof to block the sun and regulate light.
