Mobile ID solution of Vietnammobile Vietnamobile and IPification have just announced the launch of Mobile ID service in Vietnam – The ultimate authentication solution for smartphone transactions for Vietnamobile subscribers. Instead of traditional authentication steps that still contain many risks such as providing phone numbers and SMS OTP authentication, users only need to authorize Vietnamobile to authenticate the device’s ID; Transactions on mobile phones will be automatically verified and secured by Vietnamobile. According to information, the service will soon be integrated for Vietnamobile users. According to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), SMS authentication is not secure enough. Hackers can hack to transfer SMS messages to phone numbers that do not belong to the owner. These tricks are so sophisticated that you won’t even know your messages have been stolen. NIST also warns that phone numbers registered on applications such as Facebook Messenger, Viber are likely to be hacked and reveal the verification code on SMS. An alternative solution is to use 2-layer security or use a security code from a token device. However, this method is quite complicated and causes interruptions in transactions, so most users find it very annoying. The Mobile ID service uses the technology of IPification. This is predicted to be the foundation for mobile authentication now and in the future. Mobile ID enables the authentication of compatible mobile users by verifying the device, SIM and phone number via IP address, intended to prevent fraud in mobile registration and transaction approval. Mobile ID service requires no additional settings, no need to enter a password, and does not require any action from the user. A representative of Vietnamobile said, “The number of Vietnamobile subscribers for online transactions has grown rapidly. In light of this trend, we look forward to providing our subscribers with a safe and convenient online trading platform.” Vietnamobile’s Mobile ID security solution was born to meet the mobile reality when all online activities and transactions of customers are done on smartphones. “We want our customers to be able to enjoy the best solution in terms of security, identity authentication, payment, login,” he said. Mr. Stefan Kostic, CEO of IPification shared. “As the number of online user activities globally is skyrocketing, we will provide the most secure, yet seamless authentication and transaction validation solution for Vietnamobile users.” MobiIPification Pification solution is trusted by leading telecommunications, technology, payment and OTT companies such as Microsoft, GBG, DataZoo, 3HongKong, Axiata Digital. Currently, IPification’s solution has reached more than 550 million devices in 18 markets globally. PV

Accordingly, US investors have made a profit of up to $ 4.1 billion by investing in this world’s number 1 “virtual currency”. Right behind the US is China with 1.1 billion USD. The remaining positions in the top 5 include Japan ($0.9 billion), UK ($0.8 billion) and Russia ($0.6 billion). Notably, this list also includes the presence of Vietnam. According to Chainalysis estimates, Vietnamese investors have earned $0.4 billion in 2020 by investing in Bitcoin. On a global scale, Vietnam ranks 13th in the world in terms of Bitcoin-related profitability. Vietnam is also the 4th country in terms of cryptocurrency profits, just behind China, Japan, and South Korea. Ranking of the 25 most profitable countries from Bitcoin in 2020. According to Chainalysis, due to the decentralized nature of the technology, it is very difficult to find out where the parties are in a cryptocurrency transaction. The published results were estimated using transaction data from services that Chainalysis tracks. In its analysis, Chainalysis measures the total volume of Bitcoin transactions at each crypto exchange. They estimate the amount earned by the difference in the price of Bitcoin at 2 times of entering and leaving the exchange. Chainalysis then distributes this profit based on each country’s share of web traffic on each exchange. By doing this, Chainalysis has produced a report on how much return investors in each country will make with Bitcoin in 2020. Even so, Chainalysis’s methodology is approximate and not yet available. regardless of the profits from the digital assets still in the exchanges. Vietnam currently ranks 10th on the Global Cryptocurrency Acceptance Index. According to Chainalysis, Vietnam is a perfect example of a country where the level of participation in cryptocurrency transactions far exceeds the ranking of the economy. Although only ranked 53rd in GDP with about $262 billion and ranked as a low-middle-income country, Vietnam still has a fairly high level of acceptance for cryptocurrency transactions. Accordingly, Vietnam ranks 10th out of 154 countries in the Global Cryptocurrency Acceptance Index. This is one of the rare indexes where Vietnam has the same rank as developed countries such as the US, China or South Africa, even more than many other developed countries such as the UK, France, Germany, and Spain. , Japan, Korea,… With such popularity, Chainalysis is not surprised that Vietnamese investors ranked 13th in the world in terms of income earned from Bitcoin in 2020. Many Vietnamese Bitcoin investors have won big in 2020. Similar to Vietnam, this phenomenon also occurs in a number of other countries such as the Czech Republic (54th in GDP, 18th in income from Bitcoin), Turkey (25th in GDP, 16th in revenue). Bitcoin income) and Spain (19th in GDP, 9th in Bitcoin income). On the other hand, despite having the 4th largest economy with the 2nd largest population in the world, India is being left behind in the crypto economy. In 2020, the country’s investors only made 241 million USD from the increase in the price of Bitcoin, ranked 18th in the world. This is because the Indian government does not seem to be very friendly with cryptocurrencies. India used to ban all cryptocurrency transactions in the country, until the Supreme Court of India lifted the ban in March 2020. Although many Vietnamese investors are making big profits from cryptocurrencies. Having said that, investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies is a very risky investment. Therefore, investors need to be careful and learn carefully before deciding to enter this harsh market.

Chopsticks date from around 1,800 BC. At first, large chopsticks were often used for cooking. By about 200 BC, chopsticks began to become common utensils in Eastern meals. Traditional Vietnamese chopsticks Traditional Vietnamese chopsticks are mainly made of wood, have a round body for carpentry, are not painted or decorated, and the tip of the chopsticks is usually not too small, but somewhat longer than Japanese and Korean chopsticks. And in Vietnam alone, chopsticks also have certain differences between regions because of cultural characteristics. The northern countryside is associated with the image of the bamboo ramparts at the top of the village, so people often use old bamboo stalks to make chopsticks. Usually chopsticks in the North are somewhat shorter than in the South. In the South, where there are many rivers and rows of coconut trees, chopsticks are also made from coconut. More than an everyday item, chopsticks contain many cultural meanings Chopsticks are not only a permanent item in every daily meal, but also contain deep values ​​about Vietnamese people’s thoughts, feelings and culture. In the past, grandparents used to use the phrase “Learn to eat, learn to speak, learn to pack, learn to open” to teach children the basics of life. Accordingly, eating does not just stop at the instinctual aspect but also contains the rules people need to learn. At the beginning of the meal, it is necessary to compare the chopsticks and pay attention to whether the tip of the chopsticks is placed in the correct direction. Besides, in traditional meals, to show care and share in a subtle way, people use clean chopsticks to pick up the inviting food “a round” around the tray. During a meal, when you want to pick up food for someone else, it is usually polite to turn the end of the chopsticks to pick it up with the other end. After a meal, chopsticks should be put down neatly, should not be staggered or skewed. If you can’t hold the chopsticks properly, also pay attention to your fingers, don’t straighten your index finger when holding the chopsticks because it looks like you’re pointing directly at the opposite person. Besides, children are also taught not to suck and suck on chopsticks because this shows impoliteness on the table. When picking up food, don’t rummage through the whole plate to find something you like. When conversing during meals, do not talk while chewing, holding chopsticks while dancing and telling stories. When dipping food, you should also pay attention not to let your chopsticks touch the dipping sauce and do not let the dipping sauce get dirty on the table, nor should you use your chopsticks to stir the sauce or stir it into the soup bowl. These things are small but show the sophistication and culinary culture of the Vietnamese people. In addition, according to folklore, Vietnamese people believe that knocking chopsticks during a meal will cause hungry ghosts to come and disturb them. For a country with a long history and diverse cuisine like ours, chopsticks no longer stop at the aspect of serving food, but above all, it contains many cultural stories. hereditary life.

That habit is also very close to nature and animals. This is how pigeons, storks, herons, and many other birds raise their young. The mother bird looks for food and temporarily swallows it into the kite, when she returns to the nest, she sees the baby birds’ beaks wide open and chirping, and then feeds them one by one. The image is very beautiful and rich in motherly love. There have been many realistic, touching photos and videos recording those scenes. At this point, I remember a very impressive passage of writer Mo Yan in his greatest novel: “Treasures of life”. In that novel, there was a mother with many children living in a time of famine, when she worked in a food processing factory, she secretly swallowed the corn kernels to fill her stomach, then when she got home, she stuck her hand out and vomited. in and out of a basin of water. Wash the corn and then the mother cooks for the children to eat so they don’t starve to death! It’s normal for Vietnamese mothers to feed their children rice for a long time, and I am the child who has grown up from those fresh pieces of rice. Rice with Vietnamese people is of course the most important food, like bread with Europeans and Americans. People eat boring rice all their life and never get bored. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are simply called “eating rice” because the most important and most important ingredient in meals is rice. Vegetables, meat, and fish are side dishes or sometimes sticky rice is present on the occasion of the New Year’s anniversary, it is called eating for fun, changing meals. To be able to eat rice for Vietnamese people means being healthy and feeling normal. If you can’t eat rice, it means you are sick or your body has abnormal symptoms. In the past, when someone was sick, people used to ask: “Have you eaten yet?”. The answer is that if you can eat rice, everything is better, the patient gradually gets better. Cooking is one of the most important skills that signals a child’s growth. In the past, every house cooked rice with a wood stove or more expensively with a charcoal stove. Cooking skills include measuring the rice in the jar, how many bowls, cows (tubes) of rice are enough for the family to eat, that is not counting the filling of cassava, potatoes or other things. Measure out the rice and put it in a bamboo basket to wash it clean. The rice washing operation involves stirring the rice in a bowl of water to remove the grains, gravel, husks or fat weevils that live parasitically in the rice, leaving the rice a little whiter. Put the rice in the pot, you also need to measure the water level so that it is just enough. Because less water, the rice is dry, more water, the rice is mushy. Children often dip their index fingers into the rice cooker to calculate the water level according to their mother’s instructions. Put the rice cooker on the fire or charcoal stove and adjust the heat to the right degree. If the fire is too low, the rice will take a long time to boil, the rice grains will swell up into small mountains in the pot, the rice will be bland and bursting. If the fire is too big, especially when it’s boiling, the rice will burn. When the rice is completely boiled, use chopsticks to stir it once so that the water and rice are evenly mixed and cooked easily. When the rice cooker is boiling, open the lid to prevent the water from overflowing and watching the bubbles rise is very eye-catching. When the water dries up, these boils leave small suckers like squirrel holes in the mud. Rice is a rather special processed food, seventy percent of the rice is cooked when the water is boiling, the remaining thirty percent is cooked by the heat when brewing. When the rice cooker runs out of water, take out some firewood to cook the rice. Charcoal to rhyme must also be enough, too much, the rice will be burned, but too little will be raw. When the child can cook a pot of rice that is not dry and not crushed, it is considered to have met the requirements. The skill of cooking rice is not done once or twice, but must be practiced, observed and experienced. If careless, subjective, it is easy to lead to the situation: Above live, below, and all sides are squishy! People also often ask each other’s children with the question: What does your son know how to do? Yes, I already know how to cook. “Know how to cook rice” is a very proud phrase and the children of the old days, both boys and girls, had to learn to cook rice. Cooking rice with a cast iron pot, a wood stove, is more fragrant and delicious. When the rice is cooked, remove the trays and bowls, the whole family sits around. As soon as the rice cooker is opened, the heat rises up like smoke, use bamboo chopsticks to beat the rice evenly and then pour it into each bowl for everyone. The person sitting at the top of the pot is usually the parent, when the children grow up, the oldest sibling takes that position instead of the parents. The person sitting at the top of the pot is very important because it is important to regulate the amount of rice for the whole family and divide it appropriately (basically, the rice is too little and sometimes a lot of cassava is stuffed to eat to fullness). The sentence: “Eat the pot, sit and watch the direction” also arose from this fact. If there is a father in the house who likes to eat burnt rice, the person who cooks the rice needs to perform a few more steps. In order to have a golden and crispy array of burnt rice, it is necessary to cook rice in a cast iron pot because cast iron is a good heat-retaining thing and is often molded thickly, cooking rice is very convenient. In order to have a delicious fire, when the rice is cooked, it is necessary to keep the amount of charcoal a little more incubated and maintain it for a longer time. The process of creating a fire is an art because sometimes the pieces are too thin, too young or burnt black, as well as having to choose the right type of rice. It is a genuine traditional burnt rice, not like the type of burnt rice that is made by machine, puffed and fried like now. Of course, the pleasure of having a crispy layer of burnt rice for dessert is only available in wood stoves and charcoal stoves. Now, cooking rice is so easy, there is a rice cooker, just put rice and water in the pot, plug in the power, press the button and you’re done. The rice cooker has been calculated and programmed, no need to open the lid to see if the rice is boiling or cooked. When the cooking process is complete, the rice cooker will signal and eat like that. A grain of rice that is treasured by a sun and two dew to work does not leave anything behind. The rice that is not eaten is called cold rice and can be roasted the next morning for the whole family to make breakfast. Fried rice requires eggs, a little bit of fat, a little onion, and fish sauce and is also the most popular breakfast gift of hard times. Now, fried rice has entered the restaurant as a familiar delicacy because very few people roast rice at home. If not roasted, then the cold rice will be the seat for the next meal, when the rice cooker runs out of water to suck the hole, pour the cold rice on top and steam it. If you do not want to do this, the excess rice can be dried in the sun, put in a sealed jar to save as dry food, when used, add a little sugar and fat to turn into a crispy, sweet snack to eat when you are sad. . Even if the rice is completely stale, people do not throw it away, it is used to raise batches, a very typical sour and sour condiment in Vietnamese cuisine, the taste is softer and more characteristic than vinegar. In the old days, almost every house had a batch pot in the corner of the kitchen, now many people cook sour dishes without giving them a batch as if the dish has lost a significant part. Although ordinary rice is common, it goes well with almost all other dishes. The poor eat rice with sesame salt, peanut salt, salted eggplant, crab soup. Even with a bowl of white rice, just sprinkle a little fish sauce and mix well enough to warm the stomach of the poor. More than that, eat rice with braised fish, spring rolls, spring rolls, soup, braised meat. If you have a bowl of plain rice in your stomach, you will be sure, working all day without worrying, thinking about other things. That’s why there’s a saying: “If you’re hungry, you’ll want sticky rice / If you’re full of rice, then stop all the way”. Sticky rice is the main food, the most important foundation in Vietnamese meals. People eat rice every day, so familiar that it is not necessary to remember when it came from and how to cook rice. Like that for thousands of generations, rice has become a close and indispensable friend of Vietnamese people. And isn’t the grain of rice like our parents?

People take advantage of buying cakes for the real Korean New Year.

According to the owner of the photo, the scene of starfish dying dry, lying on the sand was taken at noon on April 2. Previously, this female tourist and her family were transported by the taxi driver and introduced it as “a beach with many stars and arranged into a heart shape”.

Upon arrival, this visitor was surprised to witness the scene of a dead starfish basking in the sun. This person then took the photo and posted the story on social media.

The photo of dry starfish on the coast of Phu Quoc

Frustrated by the above incident, Mr. Le Chien, representative of Marine Life Rescue Center, said that this situation happened a few years ago, not just recently.

We need to know that starfish play an important role in the ecosystem. People call starfish a key type. Without such a key species, the surrounding ecosystem will collapse.

Starfish has the characteristic of being alive above all temperatures. No matter what environment they live in, they play an important role in that ecosystem, but many people take starfish ashore to take pictures and let them die. This situation has a very low general assessment of Vietnamese people’s consciousness.

“We have many foreign volunteers, sometimes they come to Vietnam to play and meet the scene where Vietnamese people catch sea animals and leave them on the shore, all foreigners have a very offensive impression. jobs on.

However, this work with Vietnamese people is as natural and innocent as meals. That is really sad, expressing the common sense of society “-anh Chien shared.

According to the representative of the Marine Life Rescue Center, people in the countryside or the city when traveling are the same, it is lack of knowledge about the sea.

The story of the starfish is like the story of the coral, really to solve the above problem requires handling sanctions. Although the Marine Life Rescue Center has repeatedly proposed this issue to higher levels, it still cannot solve it because there is no penalty.

Our country needs a penalty to strictly punish violators. If Thai and Filipinos just touch the coral and be photographed, that tourist will be ordered to deport and pay a large fine. However, in Vietnam, there is no force to check.

Bringing starfish to shore and then letting them die for photography is very offensive. (Illustration)

“Summarizing to solve and limit the above things, we have to do in 3 aspects. The first is the community communication aspect by giving scientific knowledge to tourists, especially people. local people.

Only local people who understand, they will work enthusiastically and supervise closely. The second is in terms of education, it is necessary to provide more information about the environment, about marine life and forests in order to make tourists travel for civilization.

Finally, it is imperative to have a sanction against both foreigners and Vietnamese when violating “-anh Chien emphasized.

In addition, the representative of the Marine Life Rescue Center shared more about the current tourism situation in our country.

According to Chien, 90% of tourism businesses make mistakes and put visitors at risk. For example, if you go diving to see coral, they will give you a life jacket, diving goggles, and a breathing tank, that’s absolutely wrong and internationally forbids it. When guests wear life jackets into the water, the body will be difficult to control and even people die in the coral reef because corals cut into arteries.

“When in the water, all the tourists trampling on we must accept and correct mistakes, even go to replant the coral, but will not interfere at that time because it will affect the customer’s lives and of ourselves.

Not to mention that there are many types of corals, some are poisonous and many tourists do not necessarily understand this. The image of starfish dying dry on the shore made many people get up, but looking at the tourist picture of Vietnam, it was really bad, ugly …
