This year the product was first sold in the Chinese market on June 1, instead of Japan. After only 10 days, the first machines were brought to Vietnam. In China, Xperia 1 III entered the Top 10 best-selling high-end smartphones after a day of launch. Compared to the previous generation, Xperia 1 III has not much difference in appearance. The device is still equipped with a 6.5-inch OLED screen, 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 21: 9 screen ratio. The product uses Snapdragon 888 chip, 12GB RAM, 4,500mAh battery and still maintains a 3.5mm headphone port. The device’s three-camera system provides four focal lengths, one of which is capable of switching between 70mm and 135mm focal lengths (FullFrame standard). The ability to capture 20 frames per second, focus and eye detection, including animal eyes, from high-end cameras is also included on the Xperia 1 III. In Vietnam, many leaked sources said that genuine products could be launched in July, but the expected price is unknown. With a portable price of about VND 30 million, Xperia 1 III is one of the highest priced portable smartphones on the market, equivalent to iPhone 12 Pro Max 256 GB.

The US has banned Google from providing technical support for new Huawei phone models and blocked access to the Google Mobile Services developer suite. It is not clear if the Chinese company will introduce a new smartphone at the same time as Harmony, or if Harmony will be updated on models sold on the market. Harmony OS can only partially mitigate the impact of US sanctions on Huawei’s mobile division. The US ban in 2019 also barred Huawei from accessing important US-origin technology, hindering its ability to design its own chips and buy components from outside manufacturers. Once the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, Huawei currently ranked 6th globally with a market share of 4% in the first quarter. The administration of former US President Donald Trump accused the Chinese telecommunications giant of threatening national security. This week, Huawei founder Nham Chinh Phi urged employees to “dare to lead the world in software”, moving into an area where the US cannot influence. The company needs to attract more software experts from abroad for this effort. Du Lam (According to Reuters)

Dark matter is thought to be six times more abundant than normal matter. What is dark matter? First and perhaps most confusingly, researchers are still unsure what exactly dark matter is. Initially, some scientists surmised, the missing mass in the universe was made up of faint small stars and black holes. However, detailed observations have not shown enough evidence to explain the effects of dark matter. The current leading hypothesis is a hypothetical particle known as the weakly interacting mass particle, or WIMP. This particle would behave like a neutron and be 10-100 times heavier than a proton. However, this conjecture has opened a series of other unanswered questions. Is it possible to detect dark matter? In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky discovered that galaxies in a distant cluster were orbiting each other much faster than they should have been visible. At the time, he suggested, an invisible substance, dark matter, could be pulling gravity on these galaxies. Since then, researchers have confirmed, this mysterious matter can be found throughout the universe. They are six times more abundant than ordinary matter. If dark matter were produced from WIMPs, they would be all around us, invisible and virtually undetectable. While they won’t interact much with normal matter, there’s always some small chance that a dark matter particle could bump into an ordinary particle like a proton or electron as it travels through space. So the researchers carried out a series of experiments to study the huge numbers of ordinary particles deep underground, where they are shielded from interfering radiation. These particles can behave like a collision between dark matter particles. After decades of searching, none of these detectors have made a reliable discovery. Earlier this year, China’s PandaX experiment reported failing to detect WIMP. According to physicist Hai-Bo Yu at the University of California, Riverside, it seems that dark matter particles are much smaller than WIMP, or lack properties that make them easy to study. Does it include more than one particle? Ordinary matter is made up of particles like protons and electrons, as well as more exotic particles like neutrinos, muons, and pions. So some researchers have wondered, could dark matter, which makes up 85 percent of the matter in the universe, be just as complex? “There is no good reason to assume that all dark matter in the universe is made up of one type of particle,” said Harvard physicist Andrey Katz. According to Katz, dark protons can combine with dark electrons to form dark matter. From there, create configurations as varied and interesting as those found in the physical world. However, this problem has not been elucidated so far by scientists. Does the dark force exist? Some researchers have been looking for “dark photons,” analogous to photons exchanged between ordinary particles that generate the electromagnetic force. However, dark photons will only be sensed by dark matter particles. Physicists in Italy are preparing to break a beam of electrons and their antiparticles, called positrons, into a diamond. If dark photons exist, electron-positron pairs could annihilate and create one of the strange force carriers. From there, it is possible to open up a whole new realm of the universe. Is it made up of axions? As physicists pay more and more attention to understanding WIMPs, other dark matter particles are starting to gain favor. One of the top substitutes is the axion. This hypothetical particle is very light, smaller than a proton. Axion is currently being searched for in a few trials. Recent computer simulations have raised the possibility that these axions can form star-like objects. At the same time, they can produce radiation that is easily detected, similar to the mysterious phenomenon known as fast radio bursts. What are the properties of dark matter? Astronomers have discovered dark matter through its gravitational interaction with ordinary matter. This is also an indication that it is the main way that the presence of dark matter is known in the universe. According to some theories, dark matter particles must be their own antiparticles. This means that the two dark matter particles will annihilate each other when they meet. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment aboard the International Space Station has been looking for amazing signs of this destruction since 2011. As a result, AMS detected hundreds of thousands of events. Scientists are still unsure if these come from dark matter, and have yet to determine exactly what dark matter is. Does it exist in every galaxy? Because of its greater mass than normal matter, dark matter is often thought to be the driving force that organizes large structures such as galaxies and galaxy clusters. So it was strange that earlier this year, astronomers announced that they had found a galaxy called NGC 1052-DF2. Surprisingly, this galaxy barely contains any dark matter. At the time, Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University said: “Dark matter does not seem to be a necessary element to form a galaxy.” However, another team of researchers analyzed and showed that van Dokkum and colleagues miscalculated the distance to the galaxy. This means that visible matter is much fainter and lighter than first detected.

This particular act is intended to confuse Americans who are watching the flight and are trying in vain to decipher the encrypted information. 2. The words “СССР” on the astronaut’s hat The words “СССР” (short for “Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic”) were inscribed on astronaut Yury Gagarin’s helmet exactly 20 minutes before flying. Yury Gagarin said goodbye to his friends before flying into space. Photo: Sputnik. In the last moment, it was decided to do it so that upon landing on Earth, astronauts would not be confused with foreign spies. Because exactly a year earlier, in the airspace of the Soviet Union people had shot down an American spy plane named Francis Gary Powers. This person also wears a similar helmet. 3. Simple phrase but famous worldwide When the spaceship was launched, Yury Gagarin should have said a formal sentence saying “Crew, let’s go!”. However, he said a simple phrase that would later become famous worldwide was “Poyekhali!” (Go!). Yury Gagarin before setting off on the “Vostok-1”. Photo: Sputnik. When taking off on a regular plane, Yury Gagarin’s instructor Mark Gallay often said that, but he really did not understand what it was for when the crew had only one person. 4.

Carry guns into space While the ship “Vostok-1” made a flight, for the first time in history humans brought guns into space. Yury Gagarin is given a Makarov pistol. The astronaut is expected to land in a remote area where he must protect himself from wild beasts. This happened to the crew of the train “Voskhod-2” (Dawn) in 1965, when they had to return fire to drive away swarms of wolves and bears in the snow-covered forest south of the Ural Mountains.

Lips swollen, eyebrows, bleeding patients after using cheap lipstick sold rampant on social networks. (Photo: VNA broadcast) A 15-year-old female patient bought and used a cheap lipstick of unknown origin on social media, resulting in swollen lips, itching, pus, and severe bleeding. This information was shared by the doctor of the Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital on April 28. A TBN patient (15 years old, living in Dong Nai province) was taken to the Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital by his mother in a state of dry, swollen, itchy lips, pus, eyebrows, bleeding. The patient said before that he saw an ad on Facebook and ordered a box of lip balm for 5,000 VND and a cream lipstick for 17,000 VND. Vendors advertise lipsticks that are natural, lead-free, chemical-free, and safe for their lips. However, after using it, her lips started to be dry, itchy, then swollen with pustules … eating, drinking, communication was very difficult. At the hospital, the patient was identified with superinfection contact dermatitis by doctor Phan Ngọc Huy from the Department of Skin cosmetology and indicated for treatment with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and topical drugs. According to Dr. Huy, lipstick allergy is a condition caused by the body overreacting to the ingredients of the lipstick. Normally, after using the lipstick for a few minutes or a few hours, the area where the lipstick is applied will become red, itchy … If the allergy is worse, it will appear blisters, pus, close eyebrows, bleeding … Many causes of allergies after using lipstick include: Poor quality lipstick, no clear origin; These lipsticks often contain excessive levels of lead and chemical dyes, so when used, they will cause irritation. In addition, the ingredients in these products also make the skin of the lips dull, chapped, and dry. If used for a long time, they will directly affect the health of the user. Outdated lipstick can also cause allergies because the product is synthesized from many different ingredients. Therefore, when the expiration date is over, these substances can be degraded, thereby easily causing allergies. Sensitive sites are also the cause allergy because the skin in this area is quite thin. The ingredients that can cause allergies in lipstick consumers should be aware of are these preservative (formaldehyde, quaternium, methylisothiazolione …), artificial color (eosin red), peeling agent (salicylic acid, phenol). In particular, handmade lipsticks are lipsticks that are potentially unsafe because they have not been inspected by authorities. Son is an indispensable cosmetic for women. Therefore, doctor Phan Ngoc Huy recommends that, before buying and using a product, women need to carefully check the ingredients and choose a lipstick with clear origin. Before you want to use the new lipstick, you need to test by applying lipstick on the skin on the inside of your arm to see if there is an allergic phenomenon. When there are signs of red inflammation, swelling, itching … users should immediately stop using lipstick. After using lipstick, you need to gently remove makeup with clean water or coconut oil, olive oil; absolutely do not use makeup removers containing chemical ingredients. When itching, swelling should use a wet towel on the lips 15-20 minutes. In case of a severe allergy that causes swollen lips, blisters … it is necessary to immediately have the establishment dermatology specialist reputation to be examined and treated by doctors./.

1. On April 18, 1906, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake and fire occurred in San Francisco of the United States, killing at least how many people? Icon 3,000 people Icon 4,000 people Icon 5,000 people The correct answer is answer A: April 18, 1906, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake and fire occurred in San Francisco of the United States, killing at least 3,000 people. Between 225,000 and 300,000 people were left homeless out of the city’s total population of approximately 410,000; half of the population were evacuated to Oakland and Berkeley. The cost of the earthquake damage at that time was estimated at about $ 400 million in 1906 prices, which is the same amount as the total national budget of the United States at that time (about $ 6.9 billion in present-day values). The earthquake was the first natural disaster to be made into film and the subject of photography. More than that, it appeared at a time when seismic science was flourishing. 2. 18/4/1506 is the starting date of the church in Vatincan? Icon St. Peter’s Basilica Icon San Giovanni in Laterano (Saint John Lateran) Icon Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore The correct answer is answer A: St. Peter’s Basilica (Peter) is one of the four largest temples in the Vatican and is considered the holiest place of 1.2 billion Christians. At the same time, this is the convergence of the oldest artistic quintessence of the painting, sculpture and architecture of the Renaissance period. St. Peter’s Basilica, built on April 18, 1506 and completed on November 18, 1626, is a Renaissance-style church located in Vatican City, west of the Tiber River and near the Janiculum Hill and Hadrian Mausoleum . This work, designed by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, is the most famous masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and one of the largest churches in the world. The temple has a height of 136 m from the basement and it is also a large space with an area of ​​2,067 square meters. In front of the temple is a square designed in an oval shape as showing God’s protection for the faithful here. Around the square are 284 columns arranged in rows and above these pillars are the adornment of 140 sculptured statues with a height of 3.24m. 3. On April 18, 1942, the United States launched air raids on Tokyo and other Japanese cities, the first attack on Japan. This is true or false? Icon It’s correct Icon Wrong The correct answer is answer A: On April 18, 1942, the United States launched air raids on Tokyo and other Japanese cities, the first attack on the Japanese government. The bombardment of Tokyo was a series of air strikes carried out by the United States Air Force that took place on the Pacific front during World War II and was one of the most devastating bombing raids in history. On April 18, the first air strike against Tokyo was the Doolittle Attack, where 16 B-25 Mitchell planes from the USS Hornet attacked targets including Yokohama and Tokyo. That landed at airports in China. Although the airstrike did not damage Japan’s military potential, it was a propaganda victory for the United States. When it was the first time American bombers could strike Japan right away. As the bombing plan was not finalized in this airstrike, no aircraft returned to the base, all crashed or had to make an emergency landing (except for one aircraft that successfully landed on the other side. in the territory of the Soviet Union, then detained and repatriated secretly). The remaining two crew members were taken prisoner. 4. What year did France, West Germany, Italy and 3 Benelux countries, namely Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands sign the Paris Agreement on the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community on April 18? Icon 1950 Icon 1951 Icon 1952 The correct answer is answer B: The Paris Treaty, signed on April 18, 1951 between France, West Germany, Italy and three Benelux countries (Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands), created the European Coal and Steel Community. (ECSC). … This treaty is seen as the foundation of bringing the European countries together in peace, after World War II. The Paris Treaty took effect on July 23, 1952 and expired on July 23, 2002, exactly 50 years after it entered into force. This treaty is seen as the foundation of bringing the European countries together in peace, after World War II. Some of the main enemies of the war now shared the production of coal and steel, key resources, formerly central to the war effort. 5. On April 18, 1978, the Khmer Rouge army crossed the border, starting massacre in An Giang province, Vietnam? Icon The Son My Massacre Icon Massacre My Lai Icon Ba Chuc Massacre The correct answer is answer C: The Ba Chuc massacre is a war crime committed by the Khmer Rouge government. The incident took place in Ba Chuc commune (now Ba Chuc town), Tri Ton district, An Giang province. From April 30, 1977, the Khmer Rouge army began to simultaneously open fire to attack the southwest border – Vietnam. On April 18, 1978, the Khmer Rouge army swept into Ba Chuc, bluntly killing innocent civilians. Many people ran to Phi Lai and Tam Buu pagodas and ran up Tuong mountain to hide, but were also brutally slaughtered by the Khmer Rouge. During the 12-day occupation from April 18 to April 30, 1978, Khmer Rouge troops killed 3,157 civilians. Only three people survived the carnage. The massacre was one of the causes of the Vietnam-Cambodia border conflict, and then the border campaign against southwestern Vietnam (also known as the Southwest Border War). At the end of 1979, the authorities and people of An Giang province built a crime evidence population. Including the tomb is the current main structure containing the skulls of 1,160 victims. 6. April 18, 1955 is the date of the death of the great scientist? Icon Newton Icon Stephen Hawking Icon Albert Einstein The correct answer is C: Albert (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) is a German theoretical physicist, recognized as one of the greatest physicists of all time, who developed general relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (the other being quantum mechanics). Although best known for the mass-energy equivalence equation considered the “most famous equation in the world”, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his contributions to with theoretical physics, and specifically for discovering the law of the photoelectric effect. His work on the photoelectric effect was the landmark that gave birth to quantum theory. 7. How many kilometers did anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl travel on a Kon-Tiki raft from South America to the Tuamotu Islands? Icon 7,000 km Icon 8,000 km Icon 9,000 km The correct answer is Answer B: Thor Heyerdahl (October 6, 1914 – April 18, 2002) is a Norwegian anthropologist and explorer. He is best known for his expeditions aimed at testing anthropological hypotheses, most notably his journey on a Kon-Tiki raft spanning 8,000 km from South America to the Islands. Tuamotu (Pacific Ocean). Thor Heyerdahl was born in 1914 in Larvik, Norway. From an early age Heyerdahl has been interested in zoology. He studied at the University of Oslo majoring in zoology and geography and began to study the culture and history of the Aboriginal Polynesians himself. In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl made his most famous voyage on the Kon-Tiki raft. With the aim of demonstrating the connection between the Polynesians and the South American Indians, Thor Heyerdahl and some friends used a raft made entirely of natural materials to cross the Pacific without help. to the help of any modern scientific and technical means. After 101 days at sea departing from South America, Heyerdahl’s group arrived at the Tuamotu Archipelago on August 7, 1947. In total, the raft has covered more than 8,000 km and proved that the South American Indians were fully capable of making similar trips in the past. Heyerdahl’s travel logbook Kon-Tiki Journey was later translated into more than 50 languages, and the documentary about the trip won an Oscar for best documentary film of the year. 1951.

Lei Jun and Chen Nian

Speaking of the old age of the founder of Vancl Eslite, you have to mention Lei Jun. The Xiaomi Group founded by Lei Jun has become a Fortune 500 company in the world. According to the 2020 full-year financial report released by Xiaomi on March 24, the annual business reached 245.9 billion yuan and the net profit was 13 billion yuan. As of the close on April 10, Xiaomi’s market value was as high as 647.748 billion Hong Kong dollars.

As one of the first people to enter the IT industry, Lei Jun knew many well-known people in the industry. Among them, Lei Jun is very close to the old. In the early stage of the Internet wave in 2000, Chen Nian and Lei Jun founded Joyo. They did it for 4 years. After Amazon acquired Joyo for 75 million in 2004, the two parted ways and started their own businesses. A career.

Vancl eslite “flying into the sky”

After leaving Lei Jun, he established Vancl Eslite in 2007. In order to support the cause of his friends, Lei Jun made a friendly investment in Vancl Eslite. By 2010, Vancl Eslite’s annual sales volume was 30 million pieces, and sales reached 2 billion, making it the fourth B2C e-commerce brand following JD.com, Amazon and Dangdang.com. It is reported that in just one year, the number of employees of Vancl Eslite has exceeded 13,000.

At the 2010 conference, the situation of Vancl Eslite was very good. He set an annual sales target of 10 billion yuan, and he spoke boldly, not only to acquire the well-known luxury goods LV, but also to sell LV products to Vancl Eslite. The same price, and in 2015, let Vancl’s sales exceed 100 billion yuan.

In June 2011, the industry once reported that Vancl Eslite was about to go public in the United States, and it was even confirmed that Vancl would submit the IPO documents on November 21. However, the hope was not fulfilled. The next day, China Concept Stocks suffered a tragic drop. , Vancl had to temporarily plan to go public and wait for the next good opportunity.

Vancl Eslite has become a “crisis” of Vancl?

In order to achieve sales targets, Vancl Eslite continues to increase product categories, regardless of whether the growth rate has reached the upper limit. At the same time of rapid expansion, it also brought a crisis of 1.445 billion backlog of goods to Vancl.

Although the sales volume of Vancl Eslite hit a new high of 4 billion yuan in 2011, in the fourth quarter of the same year, Vancl Eslite fell into a “crisis” of Vancl. According to data from the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce, in the past three years, Vancl Eslite has a cumulative loss of 250 million yuan, compared with a loss of 700 million yuan in 2011. Only one year later, Vancl Eslite’s inventory backlog has been added to 2 billion yuan.

Not only that, Chen Nian also invested heavily in advertising and marketing, and invited many celebrities to speak for him. At the 2012 annual meeting, Chen Nian invited the Japanese actress Sora Aoi to serve as the van passenger platform, but this could not restore the hearts of users. Under the “blessing” of the star halo, it failed to bring Vancl the expected good results.

Lei Jun injects capital again, Vancl Eslite “cannot return to heaven”

Chen Nian realized his missteps in the investment strategy and chose to move the office building away from the luxury zone in 2014, and his staff was once reduced to 180. Chen Nian also said that he would “start from scratch”, starting from a white shirt. In the same year, Lei Jun led the investment and IDG and other investment institutions once again injected 100 million US dollars into Vancl Eslite.

It’s a pity that the old “white shirt strategy” did not succeed. Perhaps it was because Vancl had overdrawn its brand reputation before that, or it was because he had “slammed” Jay Chou in public, but whether it was For whatever reason, Vancl Eslite has been “powerless”.
