Solutions against heat Planning solution In the past, our ancestors had a saying: “Get a gentle wife to make a house facing south”. It is a very natural and simple way of planning to avoid the direction that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The south direction is the direction to catch the cool wind, avoiding the radiation of the sun. Of course it is a folk house in the village-rural structure. Modern urban areas depend on many other factors, so it is not possible to completely choose the direction for the project. This is not to say that the direction is dependent. Where possible, the orientation of the building should be optimized. The Vietnamese standard on heat protection for houses clearly states: “For houses, try to arrange so that the west-east side of the house has the smallest surface area to limit solar radiation”. As with clusters of works or complexes of works, it is necessary to design a reasonable total ground, giving priority to good orientation for mainstream works, works with higher heat resistance requirements such as living and working places. Environmental and ecological solutions This solution is associated with the planning solution. This is also a solution that our ancestors have applied very thoroughly in traditional architecture. Trees, water surface are always indispensable elements, accompanying the architecture. Trees create shade, prevent and cover architectural surfaces from solar radiation. The water surface (pond, lake, aquarium …) and green trees regulate the climate, making the environment cooler and cleaner. Under conditions of unsaturated air humidity, the water surface always has the phenomenon of evaporation. Water evaporation is an endothermic process, so it causes the ambient temperature to drop. Trees and water surface are attached to natural land; All have low emissivity, which are effective factors for overall heat resistance, with a large range of influence. Currently, in many urban areas, the ratio of trees, water surface to construction works is at an alarming rate, plus other areas are concretized at a high level (yard, summer, parking lot). …). The surfaces of these materials have high emissivity, causing the air environment to heat up significantly. Architectural solutions This is considered the broadest and most flexible solution. The architectural solution is the combination of the ground and the building block, the design of a reasonable cover structure to limit the surface exposed to the sun – avoid radiation, or reduce the heat conduction in the material, enhance thermal convection. The basic architectural solutions are as follows: Reasonable ground layout, prioritizing main spaces to avoid contact with sun-catching surfaces; push the extra spaces such as stairs, storage, toilet to that side. Create setbacks, negative spaces such as halls, loggias, technical slots, etc. to avoid solar radiation entering the main space surface. Use side shading structures installed outside the enclosure (walls) to reduce radiation and heat conduction. In traditional folk architecture, many places have a bamboo mat on the veranda. This element has been applied a lot in modern architecture with different forms and different materials. Facade complex with “rigid structures” to block the sun; attached to the bearing structure and cover. Usually it is an umbrella, vertical and horizontal sunshades. In the 70-80s, this type of architecture was very developed – especially in the category of administrative and office buildings. Those designs are carefully studied in terms of architectural physics according to the climate and solar chart of each locality. Build thick walls, box walls (hollow), use insulation materials (hollow bricks, insulation panels, 3D panels, aerated aggregate concrete…) for the covering structure. The door design is reasonable in terms of location and materials. These solutions are all based on the principle of reducing radiation and conduction of heat from the outside. Use heat-resistant materials for roofs such as woven panels, brick holes, corrugated iron roofs (for flat and concrete roofs), use heat-insulated false ceilings (for sloping, tiled roofs). This solution must pay special attention to the problem of ventilation for the air mass between the two roof layers. Reduce the emissivity of the building surface with plants, such as growing vines on the wall, garden design – water surface on the roof. This is a pretty good aesthetic solution, but there are certain changes over time. Organize the premises, design the location and structure the door reasonably; design courtyard, skylight to enhance air convection. The goal is for the hot air to escape up and out, making room for the lower heat mass. Technical solution Air conditioners (Air conditioners): Considered modern, and easy to deploy applications. However, air conditioners also reveal certain disadvantages. First of all, this solution consumes significant energy resources, and affects the environment. According to the principle of thermal balance, to reduce the temperature in the room, it increases the outside temperature by the same amount of heat. Besides, air conditioners are difficult to meet for open spaces, too large spaces. Ventilation: In addition to natural convection, forced ventilation is considered an effective solution to combat heat when natural convection is not effective. Properly designed ventilation systems will contribute to heat resistance, and should be taken advantage of – combined with architectural solutions such as skylights. Spraying water, misting: Misting systems have recently been deployed to many applications, in public spaces such as restaurants, and even houses. Spraying water and mist creates the phenomenon of evaporating water and collecting heat, while enhancing air convection. In addition, the pressure of water spray, mist creates cool air movement (will be discussed in the next section). In addition, homeowners can also use specialized heat-resistant paint for the surface of the building, which is also an effective anti-heat solution.

The streams are murmuring, the two sides are filled with flowers and grass, although artificial, it also creates a cool climate that brings a sense of relaxation to people. . Water material Water materials here are not materials and supplies of the industry… water supply – drainage; are not pipes, elbows, knobs, valves, faucets… or water-related equipment.
Water, which can be considered as a building material, joins other materials in architecture. However, water is a special material, not used to make structures or architectural details; which contributes to creating functional and aesthetic values ​​in the overall architecture. In buildings used for human use, it is necessary to have water. Water is a special form of matter that sustains human life and activities. Besides, water materials contribute significantly to the creation of landscape and environment for architecture. Water was present very early in ancient architectural works, traditional folk architecture, in both rural and urban areas. Water surface is an important factor in the overall plan. The ancients exploited natural elements to form water surfaces associated with works such as lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. Then, there are artificial water surfaces, designed, with functional and aesthetic intentions such as artificial lakes, moats, tanks, wells… Water is also an important factor in feng shui in construction. ancient architecture. Water surface in the architectural complex at Faculty of French – University of Foreign Languages ​​- Hanoi National University . In traditional folk architectural works, the water surface and green trees are considered as negative factors to balance yin – yang. And most of the water surface is static, if there is movement, it is a natural flow (river, stream), the supply, drainage – drainage also depends on natural factors. Green as water In green and ecological buildings, water is an important factor to increase the “green” and friendliness of the building. Water improves the microclimate, makes the environment more pure; reduce the heat, bring a pleasant feeling to people living and working in that environment. Besides the classic water surface designs, water plays a more important role thanks to modern technologies and equipment. Water materials can be present in many locations, architectural parts with many states. Water can exist in static form such as lake surface, ornamental tank… and can be in dynamic form such as overflow waterfall, fountain, fountain, artificial flow… Artificial stream in a garden . The large water surface cools and airy the space, creating a mirror effect. Next to it is a humidifying fountain to help cool the space (National Convention Center, Hanoi). Making architecture green with water is a traditional solution but still has a lot of efficiency and plenty of room for the designer’s creativity. The work associated with the water surface always has an airy space, a fresh climate environment, creating many positive aesthetic effects. Water surface and green trees make the architecture close to nature, friendly and open; Helps calm the mind and body. Water can be present in every building, from urban to small structures, regardless of scale. A park can have water, a townhouse can have water. It is important that the designer knows how to place the water surface and control the existence of the water surface appropriately.

Two weeks ago, just as dawn broke over the Ganges, a riverside resident discovered several bodies drifting into the shallows of the river most sacred to Indians. Darsan Nishad – a 35-year-old man working for a local environmental program – pulled the eight bodies out of the water. He then tied these bodies with sacks to take them away to check the cause of death. Finally, the unfortunate victims will be cremated – according to Hindu rites. “We don’t know where these bodies come from. We didn’t even know if they had any diseases,” said Nishad, pointing to the area where he and his colleagues had to carry out this difficult task. Hindus make offerings to the sacred Ganges River after scattering the ashes of their loved ones. Hundreds of bodies were found floating or buried in the river in May. Photo: Washington Post. Saddened by the experience, Nishad shared his belief in the Ganges, which Hindus revere as a sacred river. According to Hindu beliefs, anyone who has bathed in the river will be cleansed of all sins. “The river has great spiritual significance to us. Indians believe that if you dip yourself in this water even once, you will be protected for life,” said Nishad, standing a few feet from the crematorium in the river. “For us, the river is the goddess,” said Nishad. This is just a small number of hundreds of other bodies floating or buried in sand along the length of the river in the context that India suffered the second worst consequences in the world because of the Covid-19 pandemic. after America. Worried fisherman The mystery surrounding the bodies remains unanswered. Authorities have not been able to find out how many people have Covid-19 among those bodies. Many believe that some families have opted for extreme measures – dropping the bodies of loved ones in the Ganges – because they cannot afford to cremate them. Before the second wave of Covid-19 “swallowed” India, the cremation rite cost only 70 USD. However, the number has now risen to more than $400 – almost six times higher – since the end of April. In Sujabad – a large community that depends on the Ganges for a living – many people are currently without work. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the loss of jobs for river boaters carrying pilgrims and tourists. With bodies constantly dropping into the river causing pollution, local fishermen are worried about their catch and fish stocks being affected. For many people, the source of fish on the sacred river has been a way of life for a long time. The Indian crematorium burns day and night. Photo: New York Times. According to people here, the most prosperous business at this time is providing wood for the crematorium. As of May 23, India recorded more than 26.2 million cases of Covid-19 and more than 295,000 deaths. The number of new infections per day in India has recently decreased, but the average number of deaths in the past 7 days has remained high, above 4,000 people per day. The “tsunami” of Covid-19 has put the Indian economy on the brink of collapse. Like the bodies found in the Ganges – whether they died from coronavirus, heart attacks or old age – residents of communities like Sujabad are falling victim to this virus. Government gets involved Images of floating bodies prompted authorities to step in. Patrol ships are deployed across more than 2,400 kilometers of the Ganges River. State and local governments have established a network of free cremation sites – providing firewood and inviting priests to perform Masses for families who cannot afford it. Hundreds of such crematoriums have been opened across Varanasi, the holy city on the banks of the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh state, and home to a series of steps leading down to the Ganges (called ghats). Usually, Hindus will gather in large numbers at ghats to bathe, baptize their children and scatter the ashes of the dead. However, now the ghats are uninhabited, while the crematoriums operate continuously day and night. In downtown Varanasi, officials have set up a Covid-19 “command center”. Here, thousands of staff will take calls from residents, check on patients, order ambulances for those in need of hospitalization and arrange cremation services. A large screen hung on the wall continuously displays the latest information on the number of hospital beds, oxygen supply and the number of new infections. Government employees patrol the Ganges River. Photo: Washington Post. Share with Washington Post , cleric Satindra Kumar in Varanasi could not hide his fatigue after long days of performing funeral rites. “I have performed the funeral rite 15 times in the past two days, most of the dead are patients with corona virus. People who don’t die from the disease also come here,” Kumar said. “The pandemic is so devastating! Everyone is afraid and suffering. I cannot stop what is happening, but I will continue to pray. I hope that will bring peace to the relatives of the deceased.” Even the poor still have to celebrate However, in rural areas, there is no similar service for the family of someone who has died of Covid-19 or other causes. Despite the extra cost, many people still make trips to the ghats to pray for their loved ones in accordance with Hindu custom. They believe that even with the added economic burden on their shoulders, they still have to bear to follow the ancestral traditions. Journalist of Washington Post witnessed a group of peasants reach out to one of Varanasi’s oldest ghats to perform funerals for three loved ones. Cremation platforms along the riverside. Photo: Getty. They prepare offerings consisting of pellets and spices, wrapped in large leaves under the supervision of a Hindu priest. After the bodies of three loved ones were blessed, the men stepped off the ghats, floated their offerings in the river, and began scattering the ashes. After that, besides the cremation fee, the group also had to pay the ceremony money for the ceremony just now. They anxiously counted every penny they had accumulated, plus the costs of barbers, photographers and gifts. They do not hesitate to pay expensive expenses to fulfill their religious obligations at a time of uncertainty, fear of an invisible and deadly force. “For generations, villagers have come here to perform the last rites of life,” said Lakshmi Singh, a farmer in his 60s. Bringing the ashes of unclaimed Covid-19 victims to the Ganges River Indian volunteers collect ashes from crematoriums to organize funerals for Covid-19 victims in Haridwar city.

Russia has developed a project to build a patrol boat capable of diving. Such a ship combines the main features and advantages of a submarine and a surface patrol vessel. The project is intended for export and is supposed to attract the interest of less affluent countries looking to upgrade their fleets. In mid-April 2021, Rubin Design Studio unveiled a new project. They provide background information about an unusual idea, upcoming implementation, and expected results. In addition, this design studio also shows a hologram of a patrol boat with submarine features. The new export-oriented project is named ‘Sentinel’ in Russian, with the English designation chosen as ‘Border and Offshore Submersible Sentry’ or ‘BOSS’ . Sentinel will most likely be marketed as ‘BOSS’ in the international market. The project developers note that modern patrol boats are relatively cheap – and due to their low cost, they attract the attention of poor countries. The main goal of such ships is to be able to prevent poaching and illegal fishing. “Project Sentinel proposes the construction of a ship capable of operating on water or under water. It is claimed that such a ship in a position on the water will be able to carry out official patrols, locate and arrest violators,” said Viktor Murahovsky, editor-in-chief of the magazine’ Homeland Arsenal’, said. “The underwater location is intended for covert surveillance of intruders, reconnaissance and even to avoid adverse weather conditions.” According to him, this is the first version of the diving patrol boat. In the future, the model can be modified to suit the wishes of foreign customers. The official image shows a ship that has the appearance of a submarine but has some uncharacteristic features of a submarine. The Sentinel had an elongated hull with a flat deck on which a limited-sized superstructure was placed. At the bow of the ship, the shield of the hydroacoustic complex antenna can be seen. On either side, forward of the superstructure control tower, there are extendable horizontal rudders. At the stern of the ship there is a compartment for storing motorboats that are brought on deck. As expected, the architecture and main dimensions of the ‘Sentinel’ are similar to the diesel-electric submarines designed under the old ‘Project 613’. This is a major project in the history of the Russian Navy and is very popular with foreign customers. Depending on configuration, ‘BOSS’ ships can be up to 60-70 meters in length and displace around 1,000 tons – approximately the size of an average 613 submarine. The full composition of the ship’s special systems and equipment is not specified. But this semi-submersible patrol boat is capable of carrying weapons of all kinds. It can be equipped with a small artillery complex, a missile system or torpedoes. For reconnaissance and inspection of other ships, the ship will be able to carry UAVs and motorboats. Sentinel can accommodate up to 42 people. This includes crew members, ship operators, and inspection teams responsible for dealing with violators. “The development of the Sentinel project is to meet the current requirements of the international market. Many countries are expressing interest in patrol boats. Thanks to the Sentinel project, Russian industry was able to gain a new position in the international market,” said expert Murahovsky.

Floating Seahorse, Dubai: This villa is designed in the theme of a houseboat with 3 floors. The upper 2 floors are completely floating on the water and 1 floor is completely submerged below the sea surface. Brought in by Kleindienst Group and design specialists, the villa is part of the Heart of Euro resort on the Dubai coast. For the outer hull, the architects used three main materials: tempered glass, steel and acrylic sheet. However, attaching the hull and acrylic panels is a challenge that requires a flexible and durable mounting material. There are only 3 companies in the world that provide this material for the technological requirements of the project. The villa consists of 2 bedrooms under the sea, an outside terrace for sunbathing and a roof made from Jacuzzi glass. About 50 such floating houses will welcome visitors by the end of this year and 131 villas are planned Expected to be completed in 2017. The floor-to-ceiling glass panel is only 9.5cm thick, making you feel like there is no distance between you and the ocean outside. However, the glass is not resistant to underwater pressure, instead acrylic material has been used because of its durability and transparency like glass. Inspired by the mystery of the sea, Kleindienst researched underwater projects for decades until his dream came true in 2008 as part of the seaside project “The World”. Dubai. This floating house was designed by Singaporean architect Dymitr Malcew. Each part of the house is very solid with pure water system and electricity generated from solar panels. When designing the Floating Horse villa, one of Dymitr Malcew’s main purposes was to complete the surrounding area of ​​the house. Inspired by nature, the design aims to highlight the natural setting with transparent walls like glass and wooden frames. The villa can rise and fall to the rhythm of the tide, designed by architect Dymitr. The house is built on a steel buoy floating on the water. An engine installed in the house allows its owner to travel the world and still feel at home. Citadel, Westland: This is an ambitious project by Dutch designers and the Citadel is Europe’s first floating building. As part of the New Water project, which includes the construction of 6 floating buildings, the designs are all geared towards adapting to floods and rising sea levels. The building consists of 180 compartments built on a concrete foundation that can float on water. Additionally, with its highly efficient design, the building consumes 25 percent less energy than a typical building of the same size. Randall T. Fennell, Portland: Crafted from red cedar, Randall T. Fennell sits gracefully by the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. The roof is carved to create curves like water waves, making the house more eye-catching and attractive. Beams and beams are added to the design, along with a delicately curved wooden roof. The private deck leads to an outdoor patio with a great location to watch the sunset. The space inside the house is 200 square meters with a design like a sail and white walls. A large floor-to-ceiling window allows the occupants to enjoy the views over the river.

In recent years, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) has gradually become popular in Vietnam and is loved by many young people. “SUP rowing is a sport that brings exciting and diverse experiences to many players,” said Nguyen Ho, founder of Saigon Cheo Station. Over the past 7 years, SUP (Stand Up Paddle-boarding), or stand-up paddleboarding, has gradually become popular in Vietnam and favored by many young people. In addition to curious guests who love to experience new things, this sport also builds a community of passionate players, long-term investment. Having been involved with SUP rowing from an early age, Mr. Nguyen Ho said that the number of young people interested in this experience has increased significantly in the past 4-5 years. “Every month, we can receive 600-700 regular students to practice, and the number of guests who come to rent SUP or experience the subject is difficult to count,” he said. Unlike kayaking or boating, SUP is a personalized sport. Therefore, the tools and playing equipment are all one. Players will stand on a large board and use paddles to move on the water. In fact, SUP is suitable for many types of terrain such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, but it is still ideal when playing in open water such as the sea. Under the advice, the SUP site I chose was in District 7, HCMC. One of the reasons why SUP is increasingly popular with young people is that it can serve a variety of purposes: relaxing rowing, sports rowing and participating in SUP racing. Like many first-time players, I choose to relax in order to both experience the sport and see Saigon from a new perspective. With this need, Coach Ho advised me to use an all-round board, suitable for beginners thanks to its well-balanced design, easy to balance on the water. The cost for a stand-up paddle boarding session here ranges from 300,000-600,000 VND/SUP, depending on different types and types of boards. In addition, players can participate in a short 3-hour training course with a coach for VND 500,000 to receive instruction on the most basic skills of this subject. For any sport, preparation is a must to ensure safety and optimize the experience. In about 30-45 minutes, I was taught the basics of water safety, SUP skills and handling situations. For beginners, the trainer will teach the basic movements to steer the SUP board on the water, including how to hold the paddle, balance, row straight, steer the sides and turn. The above techniques are not too difficult to understand and complicated, but it takes time to get used to and practice when starting “real combat”. After the introductory lesson on how to paddle SUP, I switched to protective equipment during the game: life jacket and seat belt. Note, the seat belt connecting the paddle board and the ankle is a must, regardless of whether it is a beginner or a professional. Nguyen Ho said the station has the complete right not to let guests into the water if they refuse to wear a leg strap. “Wearing a leg strap is like wearing a seat belt when sitting in a car or plane. If you accidentally fall into the water, you can’t drift far from the board, so you can rely on SUP to float to the surface,” he explained. . Another note when playing water sports is that players need to pay attention to the direction of the wind and creek to choose the time and place to drop the paddle board and handle the situation. Because the place where I dropped the SUP was a canal, with sludge accumulating below, the coach advised to wait for the high tide to move smoothly. On the other hand, players should row against the current first, when returning, they can follow the positive current to reduce their strength. Even though I was fully equipped with knowledge, I was still a little nervous before going into the water. Contrary to initial worries, the SUP board is quite stable, with little wobble on the water when I sit on it. Initially, players are encouraged to row in a kneeling position to get used to the feeling of floating on the water, then stand rowing as the name of the sport. However, when I lost my balance or encountered high winds, the coach advised me to kneel down to stabilize, to avoid falling into the water. After a few minutes of getting used to the SUP in a kneeling position, I gradually became more confident, trying to stand up in the correct way as instructed: against the paddle on the board, using one leg as a pillar to borrow the force to stand up. Only then did I really shake off the initial anxiety and confusion to enjoy this “unique” experience. From the water, I can watch the bustling urban scene in the distance, immersed in the golden sunset. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Saigon, seeing the city from a whole new perspective is an exciting experience. After about an hour of rowing SUP, I started to feel tired. Therefore, players need to have a good physical foundation, or choose a reasonable intensity and playing time. In addition, when encountering underwater situations such as high winds, falling off the paddle board, entangled in obstacles …, it is necessary to calmly handle it, do not panic. Because SUP is a water sport, players should wear lightweight clothing or sportswear with sun protection for ease of swimming, movement and avoiding sunburn. I also prepare an extra waterproof bag to store important things like phone, cash…

Floatwing: This floating house is not only sturdy, but also portable around the world. Floatwing has been built from the ideas of a group of designers Friday SA. With a detachable, modular structure, you can transport your home where you want it. Floatwing also has a wine cellar, BBQ area and roof terrace. Talking about the solidity of the house, the architects used environmentally friendly materials such as wood, plastic cork. In addition, the electricity consumed is also taken advantage of by solar energy. Floating House Lake Huron, Ontario: Located in the Great Lakes, this floating house is built on a steel pontoon boat that can float up and down according to the lake level. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the house is designed with natural colors. Inside the house are white walls and large windows that can look out to the outside. Lake Union Float Home, Seattle: is part of a collection of unique floating houses in Seattle. Inspired by the warehouses on the ports of the previous centuries, the architects created a modern house with classic features such as beams, steel beams, concrete columns or spiral stairs. snails. UFO: These are not images of imagination at all, but man-made ships with fiberglass structures. These floating spherical houses can reach the highest speed in the world. about 3-5 nautical miles. The hull is made of fiberglass and is protected by seals that help keep the ship afloat and stable on the water. An Italian company is behind these designs and they claim the ship will never sink even in rough seas. UFO can even be “self-sufficient” because it can turn salt water and rain into drinkable water. This UFO house also uses solar energy and water turbines to generate electricity. Watervilla Weesperzijde, Amsterdam: Located on Amsterdam’s Amstel river. This luxury villa has an all-glass front and a terrace running the length of the house. This is also an extremely modern house for those who are connoisseurs of technology. Watervilla de Omval, Amsterdam: Floating houses are nothing new in the Netherlands because many areas are below sea level and there is always a risk of flooding. The 2120 square feet (197 square meter) home features rounded corners, a glass front and a roof terrace for viewing the surroundings. ParkArk Oog – in – Al, Utrecht: Huge windows and skylights fill the whole house with natural light. Muntboot Utrecht, Utrecht: Muntboot is located on a peaceful canal of Utrecht, a Dutch city. This split-level house can also be turned into a work of art thanks to the inclined wooden slats with different widths creating the facade architecture and depth for the house.

The beauty of Thien Tri Lake. A place with charming scenery Thien Tri Lake in Chinese transliteration is Tian Chi (Lake of Heaven). This is a lake formed by a volcanic eruption around 969 BC, located in a caldera at the top of the Changbai Mountains. There are many legends surrounding the lake, many people believe that the lake is inhabited by the Thien Tri Water Monster. Located at an altitude of 1,907m above sea level and an area of ​​4.9 square kilometers, 105m deep, Tianchi Lake is located about 30km from the Chinese city of Fukang, 45km east of Ürümqi in North Korea. Located in a favorable location adjacent to many places, tourism here is very developed. It is known that with reserves of more than 2 billion tons of fresh water, Thien Tri Lake is enough to supply water for all people in Beijing for 22 months. Due to its high altitude, the lake water is cold all year round, from mid-October to mid-June every year the lake is frozen 1m thick. In the summer, the temperature is also at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, the oxygen concentration in the water is assessed by experts as low, the soil is arid, the vegetation is sparse, so there are no aquatic animals. reside. Only traveling to China can you see Thien Tri Lake with your own eyes, a place likened to a fairyland. Thien Tri Lake is known as the emerald at the foot of Thien Son range because of its beautiful turquoise water. The space around the lake is harmoniously adorned by immense mountains and forests with green botanicals and conifers. Surrounding the lake are dark green spruce trees mixed with snow mountains silhouetted on the lake surface, creating a magical shimmering beauty. There are four distinct seasons here, the scenery changes constantly over time. The beauty of the lake has unique features in all 4 seasons. Spring is full of life, summer is fresh, autumn is surprisingly peaceful, winter is white, cold but charming. The water in the lake due to melting ice and snow should be cool and transparent. The most beautiful season here is summer because this time is not too cold, the ice melts, the trees are lush and green, the flowers are blooming, making the painting even more beautiful. “Monsters” in Thien Tri Lake Thien Tri Lake also has many mysterious legends. According to a North Korean statement, leader Kim Jong-il was born in the area of ​​Changbai Mountain. By the time he died, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that fierce snowstorms had arisen, the ice on the lake surface was broken. When the blizzard dissipated, bright inscriptions carved on the mountain rock that read “Mount Paektu, the sacred mountain of the revolution. Kim Jong-il”, are said to be visible throughout the day, until sunset. Besides, there is also a mysterious story about the “water monster” living in Thien Tri Lake. Accordingly, local people said that the Thien Tri lake monster appeared in 1903, very much like a giant buffalo that emerged from the water, roared to attack three people on the lake and then disappeared after being shot 6 times. stomach. Information about the Thien Tri lake monster appeared again in August 1962, when a witness observed through a telescope that two large creatures appeared to be playing and chasing each other. This story has created a wave of rumors with more than 100 people claiming to have seen the monster with various descriptions ranging from a giant fish to a long-necked fish, resembling a Plesiosaur – a sea monster. Long necks dominated the Jurassic ocean. It is also said that the monster has a head as big as a human head, two very large round eyes, a protruding mouth, and a neck length of 1.2 – 1.5m. The photo is said to capture the horror monster on Thien Tri Lake. On October 9, 1980, China’s “Quang Minh Daily” published a story of a person who had witnessed the “monster” of Thien Tri Lake. The author of an article entitled “Recalling a time when he saw a “monster” said that around 4 am on August 21, 1980, while standing on a high cliff by Thien Tri Lake to watch the sun rise, he discovered In the distance there is an object, body like a buffalo, head as big as a jar, moving very fast, creating a long shelf of water behind. What makes people confused is that Thien Chi Lake is located near the highest peak in the northeast of the Changbai Mountains, formed on the mouth of an extinct volcano, the water is very cold (winter covered with snow and ice, summer at noon). here is also only about 11 degrees Celsius), the nutrient content in the water is extremely low, basically, it is difficult for any kind of organism to live. The results of a survey also show that Thien Tri Lake has no vertebrates. Therefore, the story of Thien Tri Lake suddenly appearing a large animal caused a great shock. On August 23, 2003, a group of tourists including more than 40 people were playing at Thien Tri Lake. It was around 11am, when suddenly, someone shouted, “Look, the beast has appeared again.” All eyes turned to the direction the visitor pointed. In the clear blue water, a black creature, about 3 meters long, was swimming from the south bank to the north bank and then dived and disappeared. Nearly a month before, about 20 “monsters” of Thien Tri Lake made a parade lasting about 50 minutes. Two years later, on 7/7, a person named Trinh Truong Xuan (residing in Phu Tung district, Jilin province, China) while walking around Thien Tri Lake, he happened to notice a shadow floating on the lake surface. Strange black immediately took the camera. Although some people think that it is just a driftwood, Mr. Trinh claims to have captured a picture of a strange creature in Thien Tri Lake. While everyone was still arguing, on July 21, 2005, the “monster” reappeared on the north bank and broke the calm water of Thien Tri Lake more than 10 days later. According to Mr. Hoang Tuong Dong, one person had the opportunity to see the “monster” of Thien Tri lake with their own eyes, the head and neck of the “water monster” protruding above the water surface was over 2 meters high. In 2013, a number of rather poor quality photos were circulated on social networks that are believed to be of the monster at Thien Tri Lake, once again raising attention to the existence of this creature. As recently as October 2020, an employee of Thien Son Thien Tri National Park (China) said that he had captured an image of a round black object floating on the water and thought it was ” Monster Lake Thien Tri”. An employee of Thien Son Thien Tri National Park told the Daily Mail that he spotted “a large creature, about 2.1 meters in size” while on patrol. He saw an unusual object in the middle of the lake and recorded it and posted it on Chinese social media. The footage, shot from an observatory 500 meters above the lake’s surface, shows the black circular object in the water. The black spot looks small on the video but it’s actually quite large in real life, the employee said. This staff member insisted it was definitely not a boat. Up to now, there are still many controversies surrounding the story “Tian Tri Lake Monster”. Many people believe that the “Monster” of Thien Tri Lake is the product of a mutation like in fantasy movies: An ordinary animal, after being affected by chemical radiation, became a giant, carrying monstrous form, even becoming a demon that endangers humanity? But many others found that this is a product of the statue, made up to attract tourists here. So far, there is no explanation or explanation to prove this, the truth about the giant “monster” in Thien Tri Lake is still a place to stimulate the curiosity of tourists when traveling to. China. In North Korea, the lake belongs to Ryanggang province (Luong Giang). Thien Tri Lake has for a decade now become a destination for Chinese tourists curious about the mysterious pair of “monsters” in the lake bed.

One of his outstanding works is “Exbury Egg” – an egg-shaped studio that can float on water and travel anywhere. Initially, the Exbury Egg was intended to be an installation work and would be moved to exhibits by boat. But then, this egg house was used by Turner as a place to stay regularly. The artist even records the days living in the house as an authentic art performance. Outside the egg-shaped “Exbury Egg” house. The unique house is made almost entirely of wood with a very artistic shape. With a round egg-shaped shell, the house can easily move across the water. When not moving, the Exbury Egg sits quietly on the water, anchored to the shore by two ropes to prevent it from drifting. The egg-shaped floating house mingles with nature. House surfaces are cleaned by tides, rain and wind from time to time. This process creates a unique rust layer that makes the house a part of the surrounding natural landscape. The house is anchored by two ropes. Except for a few windows, the house was hardly decorated. Inside the house, basic equipment for everyday life such as minimalist kitchens, lockers, bathrooms with showers … are installed. The sleeping place is quite basic design, with just a rope hammock. During the day, the hammock is collapsed, the space opens up like a studio, where Turner creates works of art. Unique wooden crust of the house. Turner’s sleeping hammock. In the house, only necessary facilities are furnished. Kitchen and bathroom areas. The house is connected to the mainland by a small mobile jetty that can be removed when not in use. Turner often goes to the mainland to shop or look for essential items used in art, as well as to store food and fuel. The house can be moved to the pier. Stephen Turner ‘s egg shaped floating house is truly a work of art for all lovers of minimalism. Lam Vy Photo: Pinterest

Virtual life and death! Recently on many travel forums, the story of a tourist posting photos of starfish dying dry due to being taken ashore to take pictures of “virtual life” in Rach Vem, Phu Quoc has attracted a lot of attention. Most of the comments are outraged by the ignorant actions of some young people that lead to the undue death of the marine species that is the symbol of this sea. Getting starfish ashore has become a “habit” of some tourists. On websites, many accounts constantly share check-in pictures of celebrities who use starfish as virtual living tools without knowing that just a few dozen seconds from the water surface, the starfish will die now. Prof. Dr. Do Cong Thung, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Marine Resources and Environment, said that starfish breathe through the legs and papillae (tiny particles spread all over the body). These tubular legs and papillae are equipped with a very thin layer of tissue, allowing gases to pass easily, whether inhaling oxygen (O2) or exhaling carbon dioxide (CO2), in a process known as is diffuse. Unlike fish with only two gills, the starfish is covered with papillae throughout the body. In other words, their “noses” or “gills” are scattered all over the body surface. When not in water, starfish not only cannot absorb the necessary oxygen. Therefore, they cannot remove carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide (CO) from the body. This leads to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide poisoning and causes death. Most starfish can only hold their breath for less than 30 seconds. Sea stars, sea cucumbers and corals, are naturally born with fragile, fragile creatures. Just a light touch can hurt them. The act of bringing them out of the water is a brutal act of killing this endemic aquatic species. “When taken out of the water, starfish will die within about a minute. The act of catching starfish out of the water to take pictures is very dangerous. It threatens the life of this species. Beaches with starfish need to give warnings, otherwise starfish species will be in danger of scarcity and extinction, losing the value of marine habitat “, Prof.Dr Do Cong Thung said. And Mr. Nguyen Linh Ngoc, a marine conservation expert in Phu Quoc, said that many tourists take starfish out of the water to take pictures, then drop them right away. But when left in the sun on the shore, they die quickly. Starfish have no economic value like sea cucumber or seahorse. Starfish are normal seafood objects. It is not an ecological indicator animal of little scientific value. It is a crustacean that no one eats because it doesn’t have meat. Tourists like mainly the shape it looks like a star. In terms of marine conservation, there is also no regulation prohibiting the exploitation of starfish because this species is not included in the conservation list. But starfish create beautiful scenery for the marine environment, attracting huge visitors. Therefore, the protection of starfish mainly depends on the awareness of visitors as well as reminders of the resorts. An important role in the ecosystem Vietnam has 60 different species of starfish distributed along the coast from North to South, Nha Trang Bay alone has discovered 20 species belonging to 16 genera, 11 families and 4 orders. In Cat Ba, Hai Phong, a starfish beach with an area of ​​up to 5 hectares is home to shallow trench starfish and deep-trench starfish with a high density of about 20 individuals / m2. Starfish food is fish, snails, clams, squid, shrimp and other molluscs. Some starfish species have the ability to turn their stomachs out to cover large foods and then digest themselves outside of their bodies. Vietnam has species such as starfish, blue starfish, pillow starfish, crunchy starfish … Each different species has a certain role, contributing to the general ecosystem, especially creating continuity in the chain. Food that once this food chain is destroyed will have a little or no impact on an entire ecosystem. Mr. Le Chien, Head of Sasa Marine Life Rescue Center, said that touching, holding, touching and catching starfish and sea creatures ashore is extremely offensive. It is being strongly condemned in many countries around the world. When people touch marine organisms, bacteria and chemicals from sunscreen, soap … on their hands can attack directly on their soft tissue. Organisms that have never been exposed and that do not have immune systems to bacteria from humans will be severely affected, even if they may not die immediately. In addition, starfish are only capable of sun exposure for a certain period of time, so bringing them ashore is extremely dangerous. In addition, not all marine life is harmless to humans. If you touch the wrong starfish species, people can be burned, shocked and killed. Not to mention there are many other toxic species such as snail. This job is also playing with their lives and loved ones. Prof.Dr Do Cong Thung said, starfish is a key species (keystone species) in the ecosystem. They are omnivores that feed mainly on scavengers, molluscs, small fish, algae or organic residues. There are more than 1,900 species of starfish around the world, living in all depths of the oceans. They play a very important role in the organic circulation, operating the ecosystem in which they exist. Therefore, the absence or degradation of starfish can lead to the collapse of the marine ecosystem.

The design of a patrol boat capable of diving under water in the Sentinel project. Photo: TASS This is an affordable submarine for countries with a modest defense budget. The new ship combines the features and advantages of submarines with surface patrol boats. This export-specific project, is expected to attract the attention of smaller countries looking to upgrade their fleets. The purpose of the project “BOSS” In mid-April 2021, the Rubin Central Marine Technical Design Bureau unveiled a new project. The agency provided background information on the project to build a special patrol boat, its progress and expected results. Along with that, is a three-dimensional image of a patrol ship with submarine features. The project dedicated to export is called “Sentinel” in Russian, and the English name is “BOSS (short for Border and Offshore Submersible Sentry). The Sentinel will most likely be marketed on the national market as “BOSS”. The cost of modern patrol boats is relatively low, making them suitable for countries with small budgets, project developers note. The aim of these ships is to prevent poaching and illegal fishing. In addition, they can also be used as security ships, lifeboats or for research purposes. Viktor Murahovsk – editor-in-chief of Homeland Arsenal magazine said: “The Sentinel project proposes building a ship capable of operating both above and below the water. When operating on water, it can patrol, identify and arrest offenders. When operating under water, it will secretly spy on intruders, scout and avoid bad weather while on mission. According to Viktor Murahovsky, the first version of the patrol diving boat will have the above characteristics, in the future they will be modified to meet the needs of foreign customers. Technical characteristics Officially released photos show that this ship takes the form of a submarine but has some properties that are not typical of those operating under water. The Sentinel has a rather long hull with a flat deck, on deck there is a cockpit with a limited size. In the bow is equipped with hydrophonic complex antenna. The ship has a conical control tower with horizontal rudders. At the stern, there was a compartment for the motorboats of the patrol teams. According to published information, in terms of architecture and size, the ship resembles the project 613 diesel-electric submarines built in the 1950s. It is the largest project in the history of the Russian Navy and is foreign customers are very popular. Depending on configuration, the Sentinel patrol boat will be 60 to 70 meters in length, displacing about 1,000 tons. The full details of the ship’s special systems and equipment are not yet clear. However, this patrol ship is believed to be able to carry weapons such as torpedoes, missile systems, and small caliber artillery platforms. To perform patrol and surveillance tasks, the ship will be equipped with unmanned aircraft (UAV) capable of flying for many hours continuously and canoe. A crew of 42 people, including a patrol team, is responsible for handling violators. Advantage over foreign competitors Expert Viktor Murahovsk said: “The development of the Sentinel project is aimed at meeting the current needs of the international market. Many countries are paying special attention to patrol boats. Thanks to this project, the Russian defense industry can gain a new position in the international market ”. To win against foreign competitors, the new patrol ship must have certain advantages, outperforming its competitors. One of the Sentinel’s advantages is to abandon the traditional form of a surface ship to a combination of a patrol boat and a submarine. “With the basic functionality of surface ships, the Sentinel can patrol and arrest violators just like other patrol boats. In addition, due to its built-in weaponry, it can provide the necessary combat capabilities, meeting the requirements for surface ships. On the other hand, diving will help the ship be stealthy and perform missions below the water, as well as provide other advantages, ”concluded Viktor Murahovsk. Most importantly, the Sentinel is not a specialized train, but a multi-purpose ship. Its equipment and weapons will be determined by the customer, depending on their needs. In the Sentinel project there are both simply minimally equipped patrol boats and state-of-the-art “powerful hunters” capable of destroying underwater and surface targets. Flexibility in using this vessel type can be an important competitive advantage.

The lizard has the ability to run on the super ‘top’ water The Central American lizard spends most of its time in trees or shrubs watching small insects or vertebrates pass close enough to grab it. But when it is threatened, it can plunge into the water and escape. The reason is that lizards have the ability to walk on water thanks to their skillful “rowing” rear legs with the support of a long tail. This talent for walking on water like doing a circus earned it the nickname “the lizard of Jesus.” Not only that, it is also capable of running on water at speeds of more than 11km / h and diving under water for 30 minutes. Hound’s sense of smell Under the sleeping hound’s sleepy eyes was his super sharp nose. This nose is 1 million times more audible than a human nose. That is why the police used to hunt for missing people or fugitives. A hound’s nose has more than 200 million olfactory cells, so it can store the odor and follow it for days despite the presence of other odors on its way to its target. Thanks to this super-sensitive sense of smell, the hounds become famous “experts” in solving cases in the world. The eagle’s eyesight All birds of prey have sharp eyes. And this is a powerful “weapon” to find food. But eagles have special eyesight above all else. According to calculations by scientists, eagles can see target details at least 8 times better than the most pure human eye. This is due to the fact that the sunshade in each eye blocks sunlight and has a high concentration of cone cells in the vision. As a result, it positioned its prey with incredible accuracy. The eagle can see a hare several kilometers away. That is why they are symbols of sharp eyesight. Find your way in the moonlight of the beetle Scientists have observed that beetles routinely move the dung ball that is many times larger than its body by “planting a banana tree” and using its hind legs to push the ball away. But further research they discovered that this insect also possesses a talent that has never been known in the animal kingdom: navigating paths by moonlight. It can move in a straight line despite obstacles they may encounter along the way. The beetle’s competition for food (other animal droppings) is fierce, so as soon as a colony forms a dung ball, it tries to hide this dung ball to do ” dry wages ”later. The fastest way to escape from another stumbler is the straight path. The miracle is that this species can trace a straight path just thanks to the moonlight. It seems that the insect relied on a pattern created when moonlight interacts with molecules in the air (polarization) to move in a straight line. On days without moonlight, beetles tend to change directions, take a detour to keep them safe and have less trouble. The lion dance Thanks to its incredible power and speed, the leopard leopard is one of the most terrible predators on the planet. But the lion’s leopard high jump and long jump skills are admirable. His muscular hind legs and large claws are designed for a powerful jump. The lion leopard can jump up to 15 meters (50 feet) away and jump up to 6.6 meters, which is quite a big difference compared to humans. It is the advantage of this long jump and high jump skill that makes it easy to catch up with prey even after a long distance. Navigating with the sound of the bat Bats are animals that possess many unique things and have very interesting adaptations. Many species of bats often turn upside down to sleep and live on the blood of other animals. They are also the only flying mammals. But the most impressive feature of the bat is its ability to hunt with echolocation. Accordingly, the bats send high-frequency clicks as they fly, then they hear the oscillation from the echoes bounce back and that indicates the prey position is not far away. With this system, they can catch and eat about 1000 insects per night. The ability of sharks to receive electricity Sharks are one of the most successfully evolved animals on earth. Thanks to the diversity of adaptations, sharks have many advantages in the wild. One of these adaptations is the ability to receive electromagnetic waves, making the electrical impulses in the shark’s body extremely sharp. As the prey swims, this movement sends tiny electromagnetic signals through the water. Sharks receive these signals as the water travels through the jelly-filled pores of the head. Connected to the internal compost, signal reception allows the sharks to find prey quickly and they can kill the prey with great precision even in cloudy water. This hearing organ also makes it possible for sharks to detect the smell of prey blood, even a drop, from miles away. Swimming speed of squid and octopus Squid and octopus are the fastest invertebrates in the ocean. This is in part due to the body’s extraordinary ability to use jet boosts. When water flows into their outer cavity, it is held under pressure and the mouth closes. As the muscles of the wall contract and press, pressurize the full water back through the cartridge and allow it to run at a speed of 40 km / h. These cephalopods can also control the direction and speed of movement, allowing them to escape from a threat or to quickly advance to prey they want. The magic wings of hummingbirds Not only are the hummingbirds one of the most beautiful birds on earth, hummingbirds are also the most impressive flying birds. The joints between the upper and lower wings are located very close to the body so they are agile and have a surprisingly leveraging effect in the air. Hummingbirds flap their wings at a frightening speed-80 times per second. They are also the only birds capable of flying forwards, backwards, upwards and downwards. Hummingbirds can float in the air, which makes it easier for them to absorb nectar while in flight. The running speed of the leopard At a speed of 110 km / h, the leopard is the fastest running animal on the planet. This is thanks to the long limbs, small head, and slim body, the spines will curl and stretch with each stride, helping to push the body forward faster. Thanks to this movement that it has increased speed more than 30 km / h. But the surprising thing is that this species can not speed fast for more than 10-15 seconds, longer it will cause their body to overheat. This is also understandable because leopards mainly live in deserts and steppes where there is very little chance of hiding in the shade.

The project is located in Long Bien district, Hanoi, has the structure of a townhouse with two open front and back sides. Design architects give an image of a modern house that is still close thanks to the wood material in the gate system and the facade. Because the house is facing west, the wooden bar is arranged to both contribute to prevent heat radiation and also play a role in shaping the building. Taking advantage of a part of the ground floor for the garage, the roof garden of this architectural block creates an open green space with trees reaching high in front of the house. On the first floor is the space connecting the living room – kitchen and dining room. Stairs to the upper floor are designed nestled on one side to create a wide open space. Modern style interior with simple lines. Main color is neutral. Wood is used in a reasonable amount to bring intimacy but still elegance. The kitchen and dining room are located at the back connecting to a small back garden. Modern kitchen cabinets with white-brown color scheme create harmony. The house is also equipped with an elevator in the corner of the house to increase convenience in use and living. Stairs with slender, graceful steps. The second floor is a children’s space with two bedrooms. Interestingly, the long staircase upstairs stops here and is followed by a new staircase in another position that winds across the water. Next to it is the living and playing space of the children. This is an interesting and expensive highlight in the interior of the house. The use of the dark color of the bottom of the water surface feels deep, but actually the water is very shallow for safety. The third floor is the parent bedroom which is arranged as a mini apartment with different functional areas: sleeping, toilet, wardrobe and dressing. All arranged in sequence and handy. The third floor is the parent bedroom which is arranged as a mini apartment with different functional areas: sleeping, toilet, wardrobe and dressing. All arranged in sequence and handy. Wood material is almost carpentry, revealing, giving a warm, close feeling. Spacious bathroom opens up to a garden with green trees./.

Living in a riverside village in Van Giang district (Hung Yen), Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy said, the pretend is a specialty only available in the Red River. Their larvae live in water, only surface once a year to molt and then fly to the surface to lay eggs. Close-up of the child pretending to be outside the Red River. (Photo: Van Thanh). According to Ms. Thuy, when she was a child, many children appeared pretending to be, but suddenly about 20 years they disappeared, causing nostalgia for generations of fishing villages. However, about 3 years ago, pretending to appear many times made the people of the fishing village excited to come out and get together to go out and pretend from 3am. “I pretend to only appear once a year around February to March of the lunar calendar and only live about 2 hours. To get rid of it, most of my family had to stay up all night to see if the next day’s situation would pretend or not. If there is, by about 4 am, the pretense will start to float, and the river will be completely flown by about 6am, ”Ms. Thuy said. The child pretends to be a specialty only available in the Red River, which can be purchased at quite high prices. On the day of pretending to appear, dozens of fishing boats with nets attached to the nose of the boat ran along the river. When it is clear, it is also the end of the fake harvest. Because people were brought up from the riverbank, people gathered and bought them all. At the beginning of the crop, the price was high, about 500,000 VND / kg, every day when it was picked up, it was about 300,000 VND / kg. “On average, my family can salvage about 3-5 kg ​​a day, but there is a record day that my house can salvage nearly 40 kg. Bring it to the market, have not yet sold out all. Because it only appears a few days / month, it is necessary to be able to watch it to avoid the end of the season ”, Ms. Thuy said. Nearly 20 years of “losing track”, about 3 years ago, the pretend started to appear again. As the owner of a famous restaurant in Ngoc Thuy, Long Bien (Hanoi), but Van Thanh still goes out and pretends because this is an insect that has attached to the childhood of riverside children like him. At the same time, he used pretend to cook into dishes to serve guests to eat at his restaurant. In order to catch the pretense, fishermen like Thanh had to prepare from 3am, use a fixed net at the nose of the boat and pick them up because they only appeared from 4-6am and disappeared. According to Thanh, there are not every place where there are pretensions, but only at the confluence of the river where there is a lot of soil for them to nest. “Usually it takes a lot of attention to be able to watch the right day of pretending to molt because only 1-2 times a month. After 2 molting, they lay eggs and then die. Eggs hatch into larvae and return to the river bed waiting for the day to be molested on the surface “, Mr. Thanh said. After being processed, the baby becomes a specialty, with the price up to a million VND / kg. After picking up, Mr. Thanh processed many dishes to serve diners such as pretending to braise fish, pretend soup, pretending to roast honey leaves, and pretending to fry eggs … If he can save a lot, he proceeds to preserve it. separate to be used all year. “From the beginning of the crop up to now I have picked up 2 times, each time about 10-20kg. If selling fresh, it is only about 500,000 VND / kg but processed, each kilo can make 4 plates with the price from 200-300,000 VND / plate. So, each kilo of pretense will cost about 1 million dong ”, Mr. Thanh shared. I pretended to be a phytoplankton, after molting, only lived a few hours on the water. According to the book “Ten thousand questions of why”, I pretend to belong to the set of Ephemeral Wings, a set belonging to a group of Palaeoptera, together with the order of Dragonflies, whose scientific name is Ephemeroptera. They are twofold. After the second time, they only have one pair of wings and then live for only a few hours. The longest lifespan of pretending is not more than a week. The larvae of the child pretend to live in the water, after rolling a few times to become the same. When it becomes a coincidence, its body is soft, light emitting, the two antennae on the head are like a dagger, at the end of the abdomen grows 3 tail feathers. In the evening the children pretend to gather, fly over the water to perform mating. After the sex is finished, pretend the female spawns the eggs in the water. The vast majority of them to the next day “deadlock”.

When the bell from the Tower of Light rang, the lake where the Gondola boats calmly transporting visitors to the daytime view suddenly became a giant stage. Dozens of Gonzola boats go into formation and super system sound, light, laser light, most advanced projector in the world bring visitors into magical worlds of vision. Visitors go from surprise to surprise when they witness an unprecedented scene in real show shows in Vietnam, even rare in the world. It was a moment when gigantic props emerged from the lake’s surface, most notably a super-large display inspired by the hand-held fan of Renaissance European nobles, and a piano for the artist. Performing slowly to the surface of the water … All were “hidden” hidden in the heart of Venice canal and central lake, where thousands of tourists still roam in the daytime without even realizing it. When the Gonzola boat docking station, the dancers mingle with the romantic “Venice Dance”. With the meaning of aspiration for happiness, the special dance attracts a large number of tourists, spreading the emotional atmosphere in the magical night of Venice. Especially, visitors are also the characters who incarnate when living in the real atmosphere of Renaissance European society. According to director Viet Tu, the super show “Colors of Venice” is largely invested in the world’s most advanced technologies to bring audiences unprecedented experiences in life. At the bottom of the stage, a modern hydraulic piton system and a lot of machinery and infrastructure are installed underground in salt water, ensuring that when there is a tourist boat, the entire path of the actor is across the lake. will automatically sink for the boat to pass. One of the biggest challenges of the “Colors of Venice” super show was the solution to the idea of ​​hiding a giant fan called “The Love’s Painting” under the lake bed and only being exposed when the evening show began. This “European aristocratic hand-held fan” is essentially a giant screen to project 3D mapping effect, so it has a very large size and weighs tons of tons. Leading engineers had to design a mechanical fan system “huge” deep in the water to lift the fan – this screen. Besides, there are a series of state-of-the-art solutions for the impressive appearance of Renaissance props (including a piano) all “rising” from the water. This technology alone against saltwater intrusion for all these expensive props was expensive and extremely difficult, as a few drops of salt water were enough to damage high-value equipment. The 3D mapping projector system is used to continuously transform the fan screen on the water into masterpieces, is one of the newest series of machines in the world today. With a light intensity of up to tens of thousands of Asilumen (the projector’s brightness measurement unit), this is one of the few 3D mapping projectors capable of sharply displaying the smallest details on the screen, satisfying the display. the feeling of the most demanding travelers. The light show technology also made the audience ecstatic with the image of girls and boys in classic costumes stylized with LED technology, glowing during the performance “Night Dance under the moonlight”. The climax was pushed up at the ending titled “Light Dance”, with a unique laser technology performance, never appeared in Vietnam. In the grand opening event of the Phu Quoc United Center super complex, “Colors of Venice” was officially recognized as “Vietnam’s largest multi-media landscape art show on the water, inspired by the quintessence of Chau culture. A series of ultra-modern equipment and technology for “Colors of Venice” in particular and other super shows at Phu Quoc United Center only appear in large entertainment complexes such as Disney Land, Cirque du Soleil … or live shows of master Truong Nghe Muu show. Along with “Colors of Venice”, at Phu Quoc United Center, there are also two great shows to look forward to. It’s “The Quintessence of Vietnam” also directed by Viet Tu and “Once Show” by Quantum, the world’s largest entertainment content contractor from the US. This set of 3 super shows promises to be one of the most impressive highlights for tourists at the top resort and entertainment complex in Southeast Asia – Phu Quoc United Center

Located about 80 km from Hanoi, Van Long is the largest wetland nature reserve in the Northern Delta, located in Gia Vien district, Ninh Binh province.

Van Long has been in operation since 1998 and is now a tourist focus of Vietnam

.

This is the place that owns 2 records of the Center of Vietnam Record Book in 2010: “Place with the most number of white-rump langurs” and “Place with the largest natural picture”.

In addition to the values ​​of flora and fauna, Van Long also owns wonderful pictures of water-based landscapes. Sitting on an old bamboo boat with friends is leisurely walking through the ravine, the two sides are tall grass, squeezed between the water.

This place is home to many flora and fauna, home, feeding place for fish, birds, storks …

Van Long is known as “no waves” because when traveling on a boat on the lagoon, visitors will see the water surface as flat as a giant mirror.

Time to visit Van Long ecological area is about 1 hour – 1.5 hours.

If you come to Dam Van Long in the afternoon, you have the opportunity to admire many different kinds of birds in the sky.

The idyllic landscape here makes every person feel relaxed and peaceful.

An H-6K off Taiwan in 2016.

On March 26, 20 Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLAAF) fighters departed from mainland China and approached Taiwan on two axes.

While most of Taiwan’s defense exploration aircraft were in the southwestern part of the island, four H-6K cruise missile bombers and one Y-8 support aircraft continued to fly towards Southeast through the Ba Si Strait separating Taiwan from the Philippines and then turns north, to an area in Taiwan’s eastern international airspace.

In other words, PLAAF bombers have surrounded Taiwan – a move that flyers Global Times China’s considered capable of deciding during wartime. “From that position, the PLA could not only attack military facilities on the eastern side of the island, but block the island completely.”

But it is far from concluded that the PLAAF can easily do this in combat. First, enemies – Taiwanese and American forces with missile batteries, air defense fighters and missile warships – must be taken into account.

Second, it is not clear whether PLAAF crews possess the skills and support necessary to reliably and safely fly thousands of kilometers across the vast Pacific Ocean.

Land combat was difficult. Air combat on the ocean is even more difficult. On the water, navigation, communication, and coordination – not to mention effective combat with an experienced, high-tech enemy – have been a big deal.

“Although the PLAAF is increasing the number of flights at sea, they acknowledge the challenges associated with training to fly in the far seas,” authors Kenneth Allen and Cristina Garafola wrote in a survey. newly funded by the US Air Force in terms of the history and organization of the Chinese Air Force.

Allen and Garafola cited a 2017 interview. Chinese pilots from the PLAAF’s Southern Command have discussed some of the issues their air force is trying to solve to improve their capabilities. combat ability in “far sea”.

Communication stories at the top of the list. “Due to limited communication measures during long-distance training, comprehensive support measures – including regular radars, command and air communications aircraft, naval ships and satellites communication – needs to be better integrated, ”writes Allen and Garafola.

They continued, “Compared to flying on land, training at sea is more likely to deviate from the designed flight path.” High-difficulty subjects related to offshore training pose new challenges to the technical and tactical abilities of many pilots. These subjects include attacking sea targets, aerial combat against different types of aircraft on land and water, aerial refueling and combat with enemy navies.

In particular, on physical challenges, flight times longer than four hours often lead to pilot fatigue.

Weather conditions during marine training are unpredictable – and gathering weather related data remains a challenge.

Long-distance search and rescue operations remain a challenging task for the PLAAF due to limited search and rescue equipment, low night vision and complex weather conditions. trash.

Long-distance flight training continues to challenge PLAAF’s maintenance assistance capabilities. Many incidents related to maritime cannot just take the option on land but apply it.

The PLAAF knows that they have water problems. “The high seas drills will become part of regular training,” said Dinh Lai Hang, a PLAAF lieutenant general, in 2017.

The PLAAF is “gradually expanding its long-distance training operations. Weapons, equipment, communications systems, supplies and aviation search and rescue skills have to keep up with mission requirements, ”added General Dinh.

The fact that the Chinese air force safely conducted sky missions near Taiwan in March could be a hint that its sea flight training efforts are beginning to succeed.

Of course, performing long-range, above-water missions in peacetime was one thing. Performing that task while someone is shooting at you is completely different.
