Illustration After a period of continuous sunshine that seemed to drain all the water sources in all lakes and ponds in the City, one afternoon, the weather was suddenly sweltering and strangely quiet. And shortly after, the dark clouds came from nowhere. Lightning flashed through the sky, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap of thunder. When I was a child, whenever it was thundering, I was often afraid to tremble and frantically look for my mother to hide. Only a hug and a gentle word: “I’m here, don’t be afraid” brought peace of mind to the child that day. The wind started to rise. The trees on the side of the road twisted and twisted in the stormy rain. Once, I walked on Tran Phu Street in a thunderstorm and was in the “rain of leaves”. The poor crocodile leaves were blown off the branches by the wind and thrown onto the pavement. Here and there, trees with broken branches and stumps fell on the road. The signs in front of the store also vibrated. Everyone rushed to find shelter from the rain. Then the rain came. The first raindrops were big and fluffy, falling on the hot pavement and being absorbed quickly. The rain poured down, the raindrops swirled and the fury of the wind poured down on all things. Hanoi street blurred in the rain. Just a moment, the white foaming rainwater flowing on the road swept away all the heat and sadness. The cool air calms down. Each age, we see the rain in a different way. I still remember the few times I hid from my mother to take a shower when I was a child. We kept running from the beginning of the street to the end of the street, even though the raindrops hit our bodies and our eyes sting. The raindrops falling into the mouth are so cool. We also invited each other to pick up fallen crocodiles, phoenix flowers, broken branches… Until now, I still remember the innocent laughter of naughty children. Then the children grew older day by day. The girls already know the meaning of avoiding the rain. There are summer afternoons, the whole group of friends sit folding paper boats, floating on the street in the rain. The colorful paper boats gradually drifted away on the rainy street carrying student poems with tender nostalgia. Thunderstorms come and go very quickly. The wind calmed down and the sky calmed down. After the rain, everything seems to be clearer. Sometimes, after a thunderstorm, if we go to West Lake or go to the outskirts of Hanoi, we will witness a brilliant rainbow after the rain. The color of the rainbow glittering after the rain seems to light up the hope and optimism in us. There are times in human life when we have to face storms. Perhaps the most frightening is the silence before the storm hits. That is when our hearts are filled with fear and confusion before the event. But, when we are strong enough to go through the storm, one day we look back, we will silently thank the past days that made us stronger and more courageous.

3 light streaks in the sky were recorded by people The British Daily Star newspaper quoted information from the Bolivian media about the incident that happened in the city of Santa Cruz with the central part of this country: “after three light streaks appeared in the sky, aliens were seen. leaving the UFO and walking on the street spooked children and young people”. Traces of UFOs left on the lawn According to the article, this alien is about 30 cm tall, has a round head and very large eyes. The hand has only three fingers, looks like the chupacabra (goat blood-sucking demon) in American legend. Someone previously said that they had seen chupacabra appear in Puerto Rico in 1995. The legendary chupacabra goat sucker The article mentioned that: after this alien creature completed a round and returned to the UFO, it flew to an unknown place, leaving only a circular track on the grass. The local television station reported on the incident as well as interviewed witnesses present. Someone has tried to draw the appearance of aliens and can see the creatures have round heads with large eyes. From people’s sketches, the aliens look like this UFO researcher Javier Aliaga told local media: “When this flying object appeared in the sky, there was an explosion resembling thunder. Also, the object appeared to be breathing fire.” . Santa Cruz seems to be a hot spot for aliens to visit. This is not the first time something like this has happened in the area. In 2016, people in Santa Cruz said they witnessed a mysterious creature come down from a UFO, then walked around and climbed a tree. But when the people here ran out because they heard a very loud sound and saw a flash of light, the alien immediately returned to the UFO and disappeared. Sightings of unidentified flying objects have been reported from many parts of the world. Even the US Department of Defense has confirmed that the US Navy also has a video recording the appearance of UFOs. The video below captures three triangular objects believed to be UFOs, hovering above the US Navy destroyer USS Russell in July 2019 off the coast of San Diego. According to reports, the object hovered about 213 meters from the stern of the Russell. The sailors claimed that they harassed at least three US warships, continuously stalked and engaged in “brazen actions” for 90 minutes while the ships exercised at sea. Susan Gough, a spokeswoman for the US Department of Defense, said: “I can confirm that the UFO images and videos taken by the US Navy are genuine.” Former President Donald Trump, before leaving the White House, also asked the director of national intelligence to report details about “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” or “Anomalous Flying Vehicles” and expected announced this June. These documents, once published, will spark a global debate about the existence of “Unidentified Flying Objects” (UFOs). Speaking to Fox News, Mr. John Ratcliffe – Mr. Trump’s former director of national intelligence – alluded to the report that, “there is a lot more that is seen about UFOs than what has been made public”. “When we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have been seen by naval or air force pilots, or that have been collected by satellite imagery,” he revealed. ”. The former director of national intelligence described them as actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are difficult to reproduce because humans do not have enough technology or moves at supersonic speeds without causing an explosion. supersonic. Mr. Ratcliffe also shared that UFOs and other phenomena have been seen “all over the world” and sensors are picking up these unexplained but not yet publicly available phenomena.

Survival instinct Ueshiba Morihei is famous as the master of the martial art of Aikido. People in the world know that there are many strange things surrounding this character, to the point that they say that no one has been able to knock him down. During a practice session, UeshibaMorihei accepted the challenge of the practitioners, trying to use his whole body to push him off the mat. However, the ancestor remained motionless, until he shouted “Kiai” loudly, causing the students to fall to the sides. Everyone didn’t say a word, just felt shocked because the aftershock of the sound was still echoing in their ears. Sascha Frühholz watched for a long time the videos of the ancestor UeshibaMorihei’s training, with a terrifying “Kiai”, which stunned opponents and momentarily lost their composure. The sound is sometimes like a terrible thunderclap, sometimes like thunder in a thunderstorm. This makes sound scientists like Sascha Frühholz suspicious: does a scream contain such tremendous power? For a martial art like Aikido, shouting “Kiai” represents confidence and fierce will, transforming the human body from sluggish, sluggish state to excited and ready to fight. Our body is entering the subconscious working mechanism, so that when the mind speaks to control behavior and manifests outside, we officially operate in a conscious way. As a kind of signal, Sascha Frühholz believes that screams create multidimensional emotional expression, but are always forgotten by the modern life that has led us to slip into a regular Disney-style safe state, all day long. only laughter and occasional sadness. Sport is like a battle, between winners and losers. Since appearing on Earth, humans have always shown the dominant instinct, wanting to use power to threaten and overwhelm the opponent. Sascha Frühholz associates the shout of “Kiai” with the most primitive weapon of prehistoric times, to ensure the survival of any species. Perhaps, the deepest nature of the scream is like a self-defense shield in the community of creatures, not just humans. In other primates and mammals, scream-like calls are often used as alarm signals specifically for negative and social conflict situations. One summer afternoon in 2019, Harold Gouzoules sat quietly across from Sascha Frühholz inside a soundproof lab. The screams of monkeys from the tape are loud, loud, shrill and make ordinary people feel headaches. They live in a human-like society, and have become so intelligent that they develop distinct scream patterns that not only act as a warning but also reveal the type of predator among them, thereby protecting children and other family members. The two scientists looked at each other in amazement, at the printed sheets of paper crisscrossed with undulating bands of sound waves, representing different pitches and volumes. This led Sascha Frühholz to believe that humans are probably descended from individuals who were good at shouting, as well as having come to an agreement on how to “decode” the screams of their fellow humans, creating a mode of communication. unique news in prehistoric society. The panic-filled scream in “Psycho” has become a cinematic icon. Panic and fear Harold Gouzoules replayed Alfred Hitchcock’s horror masterpiece “Psycho” several times, listening to the haunting desperation hidden within the panicked screams of victim Marion Crane. The scream has become a symbol of a painful death, through the thin veil to reveal the full horror that follows. Human emotions are diverse, and of all the sounds humans make, nothing captures our attention more than a scream. And of the many human screams, the scream of fear is the most prominent. Each scream has at least one point of its own that makes them unique. It could be a low pitch or a chaotic howl, or it sounds like you’re losing control. Screams vary in loudness from 30 to 150 times per second, giving them a unique place in the soundscape of human voices, thus often attracting great attention. No wonder, Marion Crane’s scream in a bloody shower is often considered the scariest ever brought to the silver screen. Then, the image of women screaming in terror became a mainstay of Hollywood – even when the film was silent. Beyond the boundaries of movies, shrill sounds become the fulcrum for people to express their desperate pain, anger at themselves disguised by fear. Harold Gouzoules reminds us of the mystery of the creepy, anguished, painful screams coming from the “deep pit of hell” beneath human feet. Harold Gouzoules flipped through a hundred-page file on the 1970’s “race to the ground”, his eyes fixed on his own conclusion: “I believe that the strange sound comes from 12,000m deep underground. land is not owned by… one person but from… millions of people”. They still haunt humanity to this day, do they come from “cursed souls” in a mysterious unexplored world? Monkeys are so smart that they have developed distinct scream patterns to warn of danger. Game of evolution Alone in a closed room, Sascha Frühholz slowly took a deep breath, then suddenly shouted. Happiness was evident on the scientist’s satisfied face, because the scream unleashed a strong emotion for his idol: The Beatles. Every image of the Beatles’ ferocious ’60s performance appeared in Sascha Frühholz’s mind. The music kept running, people were still swinging, and the screams kept coming, excited but full of obsession. 10 years of existence during the 1960s, The Beatles changed the world a lot, becoming the pride of England in modern history. They brought us “Beatlemania”, the Beatles mania, then when they disbanded in September 1969, fans regretted and couldn’t stop looking forward to a reunion. Sascha Frühholz turned over each page of the Beatles’ research, her eyes stopped at the image of fans’ faces “deformed” because they shouted with joy and enthusiasm when meeting their idols. The scientist has long been skeptical about the true nature of the screams coming from the human throat, criticizing the old theory that always says that screams are painful, full of fear. An encounter with his longtime friend, Dr. Harold Gouzoules, led Sascha Frühholz to interesting conclusions. Not simply a warning like common theories, humans also create high-pitched screams to signal positive emotions such as extreme joy. It sounds simple, but screams actually convey a more complex set of emotions than we think. The odd sound, honed over millions of years, hides many subtle nuances of volume, timing, and inflection that can signal many things. Sascha Frühholz looked up at the scans of the human brain and suddenly noticed that, unlike other human sounds, screams are routed directly to the amygdala – the part of the brain that processes fear, anger, and strong emotions. other paralysis. Evolution has changed the scream, which is no longer a communication signal, stemming from the requirement of complex social context in humans. The two scientists were excited to find three important sites that make up the difference in human screams: the auditory system that analyzes and classifies sounds, the sensory cortex, and the frontal lobes that make decisions about action. . They immediately drew six large circles, each colored with a color representing the six types of emotions that screams contain: from “negative” anger, fear, pain, sadness to “positive.” extreme happiness and joy. They are reminiscent of Edvard Munch’s painting “The Scream”, which depicts an anxious and desperate figure contrasting the landscape with the red sky. The artist’s diary page surprised Frühholz and Gouzoules, when he wrote: “A sentimental scream, of pain and sadness, spreads endlessly through space. If liberated and understood, it will one day turn into a feeling of hope and serenity.”

Bitter bamboo is the earliest of all types of bamboo shoots. In the high mountains all year round, there is white mist where bitter bamboo shoots grow. Thick fogs are dense early in the morning, thin late afternoon fog always keeps the forest cool and grows shoots of bamboo shoots. It is known that the bamboo shoot season is due to the acacia tree along the stream. When seen under the leaf armpits, the tips of the twigs sprouted young, purple, shiny buds, they called each other to look for bamboo shoots. The young tree buds signal that the bamboo shoots in the forest have sprouted. Every year the buds on the tree grow more, that year the rain will be favorable and the bamboo shoots will be more delicious. The tree grows only along streams, bitter bamboo shoots like to live in high mountains. Who found that predestined relationship? I do not know. Hearing the old people say, grandparents in the old days took a lot of work, sometimes even their lives could find the tubers, the fruit that could be eaten, the leaves, the plants that could be treated. The forest is immense, there are many mysteries. Every time you go to the forest, do not just rely on the available experience, you must know to find for yourself valuable experiences, to tell your neighbors, to tell your children, to your children. If you want to get bamboo shoots deep underground, you must find by experience. Digging out the dry leaves around the bamboo base, seeing where the soil was pushed up, the meniscus was stretched and ached, and there was a rough crack like the roots of a tree, there was bamboo shoots. The first shoot must be enjoyed immediately. At this time, bamboo shoots have not yet grown from the ground, so it is very sweet. Peel off the pale purple skin, white bamboo shoots. Get the packet of grilled chili salt available from home and place it down on the dry leaves for dipping. Perhaps only bitter bamboo shoots can be eaten raw, because they do not taste as bitter and spicy as other types of bamboo shoots. There are times when people find bamboo shoots according to the traces of the pineapple. Bamboo shoot is the most favorite dish of the mountain. Just sniffing is to know where there are sleeping bamboo shoots. But the bamboo shoots in the depths and the piles are small. It gurgled from night to morning but still had not seen the bamboo shoot. In the morning people also go to the forest to look for bamboo shoots. You just need to find the holes and dig a few holes, dig a few more spades to have bamboo shoots in your boss. Anyone who knows how to think will leave it for a piece of bamboo, whoever greedily will take it. Poor uncle so hungry, sitting in the cave looking regretfully, waiting for someone to go to run out to gnaw some remaining bamboo shoots. When the new rain brought the thunder of the beginning of the season, thundering running along the roofs, running across the rice fields, the bitter bamboo shoots in the forest reaching out to sprout the soil. The sound of thunder calls bamboo shoots up. The sound of thunder transmits soul, personality, and bitterness. Jagged shoots to grow. The earrings are like ears pushed up and listen to thunder and rain. Then, the sweet taste of bamboo shoots will gradually turn bitter. At first it was messy, then bitter, crispy and bitter. Bitter taste makes us feel hungry when a certain season of bamboo shoots away from the mountains and home. There are also people who do not like the bitter taste, they already have young acacia leaves. The acacia leaf is a type of acrid leaf, perhaps the most acrid among the acrid leaves. Pick up the bunch of leaves, roll them around the bamboo shoots, dot in the bowl diagonally, bring them to your mouth to chew. Seeing that the bitter taste is only as thin as the afternoon dew, the crispy sweet taste like bamboo shoots mixed with the pulp of the acrid leaves, the bitter taste of the wild chili, the numbness of the tongue of the cocoon fruit, the salty taste of salt. . Eating bamboo shoots in a warm dinner and seeing all the sweetness, bitterness. This morning, passing the stream Waiting for Cage, I suddenly stood in awe in front of the acacia tree. Each bunch of young, shiny, purple leaves have turned blue ever since. Bewildered at the top of the branch, shy under the leaf armpits, like bunches of bright yellow buds like drops of honey flies drinking from the sun. Hidden in the canopy of leaves and leaves, there have been a few hours of early summer calls. Just a few more days, the drops of honey will bloom into hundreds of brilliant yellow flowers. At that time, the bitter bamboo shoot season also passed …
