Quiet afternoon by Xuan Huong Lake, Da Lat City. This afternoon, Sunday, Dalat is unusual. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a vast, barbaric mountain town. The girl quietly looked at the street at the corner of Xuan Huong Lake, the graves lined up to rest, the once busy streets were now empty of people. My friend posted on his personal Facebook the status line “Silently in the afternoon of Da Lat …” and attached a photo of Lam Vien Square sleeping in the middle of the afternoon, because not a single step woke up. Da Lat is not as noisy and bustling as it was last week, before. When the scene is crowded at the night market, the commotion in the central square of the mountain town is constantly on the media during the peak tourist season. Da Lat used to be so “crowded” that the city government had to send the message “hoping people give up space for circulation and experience for tourists”. That is also a common thing in the mountain town in the peak tourist season, on weekends. Because Da Lat tourism brand is always thought of by tourists on their journey to find a place to rest and relax. Today, the weekend, Da Lat is very different, the streets are quiet and light. The sudden rain at the end of the season is like washing away, dispelling the anxiety and pent-up of the authorities and people here, while overnight waiting for the results of hundreds of F1, F2 cases related to Covid-19 patients- 19 number 3141 (living in Bac Ninh province, traveling to Da Lat from May 2 to 5 and visited about 20 points in the mountain town). Results announced on the morning of May 9, all 329 test samples of the cases related to the above case had negative results for the first time for SARS-CoV-2. Lightly, but not subjectively, negligently and locally activated the entire system, prepared a plan to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic. In the express dispatch sent out on the night of May 8, about continuing to implement some measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic, Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee was cautious: “During this time, the locality proposes to travel Guests should consider and limit visiting Da Lat city in particular, Lam Dong province in general and share, sympathize, as well as spend appropriate time to Da Lat – Lam Dong. Da Lat is sad, but beautiful! That state of mind has been savored by many travelers and reminded many times. This afternoon I wandered alone in the mountain town, quietly watching Da Lat rain through, the streets and streets did not touch each other… Da Lat was strangely “quiet”. It’s so quiet that you can “hear faintly a pine leaf falling” (quoted from “Da Lat once the moon” by Nguyen Duy). The feeling of sadness and silence will soon pass, when Da Lat “returns to normal”. The land that “gives one person joy, another cool” welcomes the footsteps of travelers. At that time, finding the feeling of “quietly afternoon Da Lat” is also difficult. Center of the mountain town of Da Lat in the afternoon of May 9.

However, in the comments section, the artists showed a lack of basic knowledge about cryptocurrencies. After receiving many reactions, on the morning of May 12, the posts on the website simultaneously “evaporated”. “This is an advertising campaign” Duong Nguyen Huy, owner of a cryptocurrency trading community in Vietnam, said that the series of artists posting about cryptocurrencies is an advertising campaign, because the shared content is the same. both the image and the spelling, no different from a semicolon. “Artist’s posts have started to have an impact. From official accounts (with green ticks), information is widely spread on the Internet, becoming a topic of discussion at offices and cafes. coffee after only a few hours”, Mr. Huy said that this campaign has attracted the attention of many people. Posts promoting cryptocurrencies by many famous people in Vietnam. Photo: Huynh Loc. Not only Dogecoin, Shiba Inu also increased in price thanks to Tesla CEO. On May 7, responding to a Twitter user’s comment, Musk said “looking for a Shiba dog”. Immediately after this statement, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin rose sharply. After just a few days, the price of Shiba Inu has increased by almost 40 times. With nearly 400,000 billion SHIB coins in circulation, the market capitalization at one point surpassed the 20 billion USD mark. Besides, according to Mr. Huy, the cryptocurrency market has many potential risks. For example, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a sharp decline in the period from 2018 to early 2020 regardless of whether it is Bitcoin or Ethereum. However, the artist’s posts on the evening of May 11 did not have any risk warnings. Because of the ambiguity, need the prestige of the celebrity In the list of cryptocurrencies posted by the artists, in addition to the animal names, there is a different coin, placed in the middle of the list is FXT Token. Unlike the other cryptocurrencies on the list advertised by the artists, FXT Token is an anonymous coin. “Anonymous is because it is not listed by big and reputable exchanges, but can only be purchased through small exchanges. The total transaction volume of this coin is only about 500,000 USD/day. That means anyone with about 200,000 USD will also can manipulate its price,” analyzed Dinh Tran, co-founder of a blockchain investment fund in Ho Chi Minh City. Meanwhile, other coins on the list of artists listed have daily transactions from a few hundred million to several billion dollars a day. “Putting FXT Token into the list of worth investing in is very ignorant. It is this ambiguity that makes FXT Token need to rely on celebrity advertising,” said Mr. Dinh. The artist’s post is then captured, shared immediately in multi-level groups, calling for investment. Talk to Zing , the founder of the largest Crypto information platform in Vietnam, said that FXT Token is trying to borrow the influence of celebrities to reassure investors and create fear of missing out (FOMO) to blow. price of this currency. As a result, screenshots of posts by Vietnamese artists were widely shared by the FXT Token community in hundreds of online earning groups. “To Ngoc Trinh, Kieu Minh Tuan, Kha Nhu… still participating, what are you waiting for?”, the content of the status line reposted the screenshot of the person claiming to be the leader Lio****. This shows the significant influence of using artist reputation to promote “junk” cryptocurrency. The predecessor of FXT Token is a binary exchange, similar to the gambling model. Screenshots. The fact that artists have no knowledge, but still promote Dogecoin, Shiba Inu or FXT Token can be misleading, even causing many people to participate in scam projects. The above articles can also have a negative impact on the capital investment sector, which has many things that are not properly understood. “Celebrities have no expertise, knowledge and experience in the field of cryptocurrencies… This sector is easily fooled by bad projects, created just to make money, selling ‘junk’ to homes. investment,” said Mr. Huy. Before the invitation to invest in cryptocurrencies, Mr. Huy advised participants to carefully research information on official sources, absolutely do not invest if invited by friends, or join invitation groups. rich prospect when “playing” coin. Do apps that promise big profits help you get rich? Thanks to the development of technology, new type of multi-level fraud models easily raise capital and disappear faster, leaving no trace.

The plant is also called apricot tea, apricot tea, tea tree oil, commonly found in many northeastern mountainous areas. The junior tree goes into the poetry with beautiful pictures “Border afternoon, when the peach blossom season blooms, when the base season grows trees”, “The old way of the mountain pass is white on the hill side”, … At first glance, the trees sink into the mountains and forests. Only when winter comes, will the flowers bloom simultaneously in the forest, covering the mountains and hills with a rustic and pure white color. The flowers are white, yellow, pistil, and fragrant. The flower is like a camellia flower but much larger, showing off its fragrance among the green foliage. It can be said that there are rare places that have large and perennial grassroots such as Binh Lieu border district (Quang Ninh). Coming here on these December, far away visitors can not help but be amazed between the vast forests of white flowers. The Department is a native plant here since the 1940s. Since 2014, Binh Lieu has implemented the project “Restoring and developing local trees in the period of 2014-2020”, the area of ​​local forest here is about 400ha. The life of the Dao, Tay, San Chi people here is close to the forest, the roots of the trees are used to treat stomach pain; roots and bark used to treat fractures, sprains; The dried shell is used as fuel, … The most valuable product from the base plant is the oil, which is pressed from the seeds and used as cooking oil. Oil contains omega 3,6,9 and many nutrients good for the body not inferior to olive oil, so it can enhance resistance, fight cancer, lose fat, … The harvested pods are then dried, pressed to break the seeds, roasted hot at high temperature and then pressed for oil. The refined base oil obtained without adding any ingredients, has a characteristic aroma and eye-catching color. The residue after pressing can also be used as fertilizer, cleaning shrimp ponds, … Realizing the economic value from oil, Binh Lieu people began to develop oil processing instead of just harvesting the fruits sold to Chinese traders. However, the number of production facilities is small, small-scale. Currently, oil output is from 2,000-3,000 liters / year, the selling price is quite high, about 400,000 VND / liter.

By 2020, the area of ​​local forest will increase to about 1,700 ha. At the same time, according to the proposal, investors from France will open a base oil factory here, opening up export opportunities to the European market for frontier base plants.

9 am but the whole alley still… slept. The cafe at the top of the alley opened early. I went in to find a “built-in” glass – a small, hot, sugar-free black cup inherent in tea bars, cafes on the corner of the street owned by the Chinese … No, only black! Because, now is “trendy”. Yes, good coffee. The wall at the top of the alley is dark green, clean. Along the alley, clean, quiet, the house hangs clothes on the pole in front of the balcony. Looking down at the quiet, peaceful alley … At the end of the alley is a noodle shop. The best, probably because it’s the only restaurant in the alley. Cruel’s, delicious! Sitting in the restaurant, softly slapping the sound of noodles next to it. Suddenly, the singing of a bird in the cage, right in front of him. A baron, who, according to his master, was ordered from China, entered from Hanoi, was 3 years old. The alley bold features Hao Si Ward Enjoying the bowl of noodles, I look at a mini salon next door: Slimming, stretching, squeezing acne … bla bla … In the middle of the alley, an old lady sitting in the sun on the front porch … feeling relaxed. – Granddad, do you go out to cool down at night …? – No, at night the motorbike comes out loud, scared! At the beginning of the alley, there was a homemade car of a bottle buyer, a small tricycle occupying all the width of the alley… The staircase upstairs was impressive with the locks and key chains dangling. Unlike the love locks on the bridge of the Mong Bridge that evoke a little poetic, these locks firmly affirm a contemporary material asset. In the end, the iron chain lock is not noisy, still has the characteristics of Hao Si Phuong. At the People’s Committee of Ward 11, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City, I asked about this alley. The ward cultural officer was quite surprised: “The alley is peaceful and normal. The ward has no intention of investing in this alley, cultural specific activities and especially tourism are still… not! ”. A little regret, an alley with a clean and beautiful appearance, cute population, narrowly located in the heart of Cholon town, but still sleeping, let the “check-in tours” spontaneously for a long time. stir. No regrets “when, until the olden days?” but should you wonder: “Hao Si Phuong, ever a happy laugh?”

This flower seems to still have a lot of attachment to Dalat, so we keep dreaming in a corner of the sky, whatever the sunflower season has come. If the purple phoenix has something barbaric that makes people’s hearts quiet, the sunflower will be bright and fresh, making Da Lat as bright. Two different beauties, just like that, come into people’s hearts in different ways. The bright and brilliant yellow color of sunflower made the whole Dalat like to shine. Summer comes, of course, Da Lat has no shortage of red phoenixes. But when the phoenix blossoms red, the shrine also begins to burst the purple color. Then, when the white wild reed grass was all over the hillside, the lavender purple color gradually blooming, making a corner of Da Lat turn into a European, extremely romantic. Da Lat at this time was like a springtime girl, fresh and full of life. Sometimes a little sad and lonely, but that dreamy beauty makes people more passionate. Missing once set foot in, my heart still lingers, doesn’t want to go back. The destinations of April Dalat always welcomes you with countless attractive destinations. But not to be missed in this moment, there will definitely be flower-related addresses. Dalat Milk Farm This place is quite far from the center, but maybe because of that, it’s very peaceful.

Lavender Flower Field Cau Dat Tea Hill This is the largest lavender field in Dalat. When the flower beds bloom in full bloom, it makes people unconsciously feel like they are lost in the middle of Provence in far away France. Is this Dalat, or as far as Provence – the capital of lavender in far-away France? Strawberry garden on the clouds Strawberries are a specialty of Dalat.

The entire garden is located on the rooftop, also the 7th floor of the 5-star La Dalat hotel.

And perhaps, there is no more suitable place than Dalat right now. Have you ever been to any special strawberry garden?

Ha Nam Lottery One Member Limited Company (Ha Nam Lottery Company) was licensed to operate from March 9, 2009. As a 100% state-owned enterprise directly under the People’s Committee of Ha Nam province, Ha Nam Lottery One Member Limited Company has an equity of 27.38 billion VND. Representative is Mr. Nguyen Dang Khai, Chairman and Director of the company.

Over the years, the business activities of Ha Nam Lottery One Member Limited Company always fell into a state of loss, many signs of wrongdoing in the management and financial spending of the company, causing loss of state assets. tens of billions of dong.

Specifically, according to the report on business results of Ha Nam Lottery Company, in 2017 the company lost VND 1,866 billion, in 2018 it lost VND 5,613 billion, the accumulated loss as of August 31, 2018 was VND 18,754 billion / VND 27.38 billion of equity, ineffective business activities at the Company resulted in the total remaining equity by the end of 2018 to only VND8.6 billion. In which, working capital is about 2.6 billion dong (2 term deposits are 2 billion dong) and the rest are in cash and demand deposit. Capital with fixed assets is 6 billion VND, including 1 car, the rest is real estate.

Facing the situation that the company continuously made losses, on March 6, 2019, the People’s Committee of Ha Nam Province issued Document No. 558 / UBND – KT requested: Checking and checking the losses and arising costs. Unusually high at Ha Nam Lottery Co., Ltd. Stop the loss lasting for many years. Request the Director of the company to strictly abide by the regulations and take responsibility before the law for business activities at the company. However, up to now, the company’s business has not been effective, there are still many problems that need to be solved.

Piled up mistakes in financial management

In 2018, under the direction of the Department of Finance of Ha Nam Province, VACO Independent Auditing Company audited the financial statements showing a series of mistakes of Ha Nam Lottery Company. One of the most serious mistakes is that the company does not record revenue (left off the books) of the lottery lottery from July 2016 to August 2017.

According to the revenue report, this type of revenue is from 12 to 15 million VND / day. So, in the period of 14 months, it is estimated about 5.4 billion VND to stay out of the book. The question is why Ha Nam Lottery Company did not record the revenue of the lottery type lottery from July 2016 to August 2017? How that money is spent is still unknown.

In addition, the use and management of public assets of Ha Nam Lottery Company is very loose, causing wasteful use of assets, the budget is not for the right purpose, not serving the general operation. business activities of the company. Typically, the company voluntarily purchased 01 car brand TOYOTA ALTIS 2.0 produced in 2013 without consulting the owner, Ha Nam Provincial People’s Committee.

Another corporate mistake that was discovered according to the audit report is that the issuance of lottery tickets includes: Prize structure, commission rate, and the form of dialing to issue does not comply with the regulations of the Company. law.

Specifically, the Company issued lottery tickets outside the province (sold in Hanoi). The dialing is not public, there is no record. All lottery tickets released outside the province have no invoices, only handwritten transactions. This amount is still left out of the book over 1 billion dong of unpaid and confirmed debt.

In 2018, the total cost of commissions that the company spent on 2 traditional lottery agents was up to 27%, surpassing the prescribed threshold of 12%, equivalent to VND 210,000,000. According to Circular No. 138/2017 / TT -BTC guiding some specific expenses for lottery businesses specified in Decree No. 122/2017 / ND-CP, then: Lottery businesses decide but must not exceed 15% of the revenue from the lottery business, including value added tax and special consumption tax.

In 2018 alone, hundreds of expenses amounted to more than 162 million VND of the company such as: Business, reception, conference and other general expenses but there are not enough valid invoices and documents. Even there are expenses up to tens of millions of dong, but only the payment list and the signature of the payee as well as retail invoices that are not in accordance with regulations, have no legal validity. The improper financial management and spending leading to loss is unavoidable. The question here is: Is the amount spent on items without full invoices and documents in accordance with the law is reasonable and actually spent?

For clear information, the PV contacted Ha Nam Lottery One Member Limited Company and was told by Mr. Quach Anh Hien – Head of Administration Department of Ha Nam Lottery Company: “Ha Nam Lottery Company is owned by the Provincial People’s Committee. When the Commission has a directing document, we can provide relevant information to the press ”.

Although it was explained by the PV that related to the use and management of finance, the books on the side of Ha Nam Lottery Company are independent and autonomous, while the Provincial People’s Committee only manages people. For some reason, when the PV contacted Ha Nam Lottery Company many times but did not receive any answer, the company unit is avoiding providing information to the press. .

We keep informing readers.

President George W. Bush sits in the White House after announcing that the US and Britain began bombing Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, marking the beginning of the longest war in American history. Photo: Reuters

Although at the time, most Americans supported President Bush’s decision to go to war, doubts remained as to how the war would play out and how long it could last.

Bush, then 55 years old, took office in less than nine months. On the evening of October 11, 2001, he tried to reassure the American people that the government was aware of the lessons from the past and that they were determined not to let the US bogged down in an irrational war in Asia.

“We have learned some very important lessons in Vietnam,” Mr. Bush affirmed. “This is another war that requires a different approach and a completely different spirit.”

While he did not guarantee how long the war would last, Bush made a sure promise that America would win.

“This battle will last until the al-Qaeda terrorist organization is brought to justice,” he announced. two years, but we will win this war. “

But from the very beginning, the US government did not seem to have determined the goal of achieving “victory”. On Wednesday, current US President Joe Biden announced that he would withdraw all military forces in Afghanistan by September 11.

US soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division carried an injured Afghan man toward the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter in Kandahar province on October 23, 2010. At that time, about 150,000 US and international troops. has been deployed to Afghanistan. Photo: AFP

This decision still does not answer the ever-standing question that his three predecessors had hoped or envisioned a outcome for the war that they always claimed America would win.

In the beginning, the goal of this war was to destroy al-Qaeda and make sure that the terrorist group could not use Afghanistan as a base to launch any other terrorist attack against the United States. In just 6 months, that goal was achieved. The al-Qaeda chiefs were either destroyed, captured or fled Afghanistan.

However, instead of declaring an end to the war, Bush at that time set out new “missions” for this war. In April 2002, he announced new political and military goals.

He announced that the United States will help its allies in Afghanistan build an increasingly modernized country with a stable democracy, a powerful military force, and good healthcare facilities. and a public education system for children.

“We understand that peace can only be true when the Afghan people have the potential to achieve their own wishes,” he said in a speech at the Virginia Military Academy.

Although setting out very noble and respectable goals, former President Bush did not set specific standards to achieve them and did not give any information about the US military. How long will you have to stay there. He replied generally, “We will stay until the mission is completed.”

Like former President Bush, the two successors, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, both put themselves in invisible bonds vowing to win in Afghanistan, raising expectations for a victory. The military side of this war.

General Dan McNeill, who served two terms as commander of the US military in Afghanistan during the Bush administration, said the end was always “murky, dark.”

Mr. McNeill then shared that: “Some people have thought of Jeffersonian democracy (in the thought of late President Thomas Jefferson), but that will not happen in Afghanistan”.

In a secret report sent to senior Pentagon officials in October 2003, former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also expressed skepticism: “Whether we are winning or losing in Global war on terror? “.

By 2006, as the Taliban rebelled and escalated their attacks, the suspicions became more and more common.

On August 29, 2006, former US ambassador Ronald Neumann in Afghanistan sent a warning to Washington, in which he affirmed: “We will not be able to win in Afghanistan”.

However, in public, the US government continued to declare the opposite.

“We are winning,” General Karl Eikenberry, former commander of US forces in Afghanistan, told ABC News just two weeks after Neumann issued the warning. When asked if the US would lose the war, Eikenberry bluntly replied: “Victory is not an option in the war in Afghanistan”.

Two years later, the US battlefield commanders in Afghanistan had to ask the Pentagon to send reinforcements because they were out of position as the Taliban had increased the number of troops from 7,000 to 11,000 fighters. American generals were very difficult to mobilize more troops, but still continuously declared a victory “invisible”.

In September 2008, US Army General Jeffrey Schloesser, former commander of US forces in eastern Afghanistan, after repeatedly asked by reporters about whether he thought that US troops were still winning. , commented: “I would say that we will not lose any war, at any cost. This is just a victory that takes more time, I guess. ”

By the time Mr. Obama took office in 2009, US military officials admitted they were facing a terrible uprising. Obama then announced an expansion strategy to send thousands more soldiers to Afghanistan and spend tens of billions of dollars to rebuild the Kabul government.

“For terrorists against America, my consistent message is: America will defeat all hostile forces,” former President Obama announced in March 2009.

Yet again, no one in the Obama administration can tell what the outcome of that victory will be.

“How do we know when this is over? And how will it end? ”Democratic Sen. James Webb questioned Michèle Flournoy, former Deputy Secretary of Defense under President Obama and General David Petraeus at a congressional hearing on. April 2009.

Obama administration officials gradually became contradictory in subsequent steps. On the one hand, they are beginning to admit that a military victory is quite unlikely and the only way to end the conflict is for the warring parties in Afghanistan to reach a “political solution”.

On the other hand, when the US number reached 100,000, generals under the Obama administration continued their attacks on the Taliban instead of using diplomatic means.

In public, some Obama administration officials began to dodge when questioned about the war.

At a congressional testimony in June 2011, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates was asked whether the US is winning or losing in Afghanistan, replying: “I believe we are succeeding in the war. strategy of the President “.

A week later, at another hearing, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not directly comment, but only said: “I do not think it is a matter of winning or losing.”

Throughout his term, the Obama administration has planned to train and equip the Afghan security force of 352,000 soldiers and paramilitary police with the belief that these allied forces will overwhelm the Taliban. thanks to the support of the US.

Former President Obama once pledged to withdraw all US military forces from Afghanistan by the end of his second term. But he withdrew and ordered about 8,400 soldiers to stay, seeing that the Afghan security forces were incapable of defending against Taliban attacks.

By the time Donald Trump took office in 2017, things were pretty bleak. The Taliban have grown stronger in Obama’s eight years in power, adding about 60,000 combat troops. The Afghan army and police are suffering so much damage that the Kabul government has to keep the casualties a secret to avoid weakening morale.

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis admitted to the US Senate Committee on Armed Services in June 2017: “Right now, we are not having the upper hand in Afghanistan.”

By August 2017, former President Donald Trump announced a new strategy for the war. In a speech at the Fort Myer base, he pledged to end the 16-year conflict in Afghanistan and vowed to help the US regain full victory.

“Our army will fight to win,” Trump announced. “From now on, victory will be clearly defined: attack our enemies, destroy ISIS, take down al-Qaeda, stop the Taliban from taking Afghanistan and stop mass terrorist attacks. “.

The war in Afghanistan under Trump is heating up with the number of US troops reaching 14,000. The Washington administration also ordered a series of drastic airstrikes, with the largest number of bombs and missiles since the outbreak of the war.

According to the strategy outlined by former President Donald Trump, the US military is simply trying to weaken the Taliban to gain political leverage for the peace talks. In February 2020, the Trump administration reached an agreement with the Taliban, paving the way for the gradual withdrawal of all US troops from the West Asian country.

On April 14, 2021, President Joe Biden officially announced plans to withdraw all US military forces from Afghanistan from May 1 and end on September 11.

This will be the end of the promises of a “vague” victory and end the war that lasted for two decades, spanning four presidents and is the longest war in American history.
