Disinfectant spray at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City Photo: Uyen Phuong Translation in Ho Chi Minh City is very complex Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Duong Anh Duc said that there are currently 7 enterprises in industrial parks (IZs) in Ho Chi Minh City with COVID-19 cases. Most of the places have only 1-2 cases, there is no sign of spreading to other places. At the bridge point in Ho Chi Minh City, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that after the first 15 days, the epidemic situation in the city was still “very complicated”; There are still some chains discovered in the community. “However, in terms of epidemiology, we have a chance to control the chains of infection,” said the Deputy Health Minister. In Ho Chi Minh City, a number of aquatic and seafood processing factories have a very high density of workers, in a cold and closed environment, so the number of cases is higher (6-11 cases). It is expected that Ho Chi Minh City will set up about 100 delegations to inspect all factories and enterprises operating in the industrial park. Large factories and enterprises need to have a plan to arrange accommodation for the core workers, in the industrial park or a closed process from accommodation, dormitory, to the factory to work, live and bring. about. The deputy minister said that currently, Ho Chi Minh City has prepared a treatment plan for 5,000 patients, but needs to prepare more equipment to treat patients on ventilators, with severe developments. Do not “circle but loose”! That is the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam for Ho Chi Minh City. He emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City is a big city, the authorities and people have gone through the practical process of fighting the epidemic, so the decisions on social distancing, isolation and blockade must be in the spirit of trying to be as concise as possible. . The purpose of social distancing is to slow the spread of the epidemic, identify outbreaks, sources of infection, and scale, to narrowly, tightly, and strive not to prolong the situation. widespread social distancing. Ho Chi Minh City has passed 14 days of social distancing, must urgently investigate the epidemiology, classify the areas considered safe or have a solution after continuing to implement some measures that are determined to be safe. to loosen. “On the contrary, the areas at risk must be tightened even more, not to the situation of mass concentration as reflected by the people; clearly define public areas not to gather large numbers of people; control traffic flows from outbreak areas in the city. The spirit is not equal to everything, because we have to serve dual goals, even in fighting the epidemic. If the area is wide but not tight inside, it will not only affect the economy and society, but it will also be very difficult to fight the epidemic,” the Deputy Prime Minister requested. Pilot guide to isolating F1 cases at home For industrial zones, the Deputy Prime Minister asked Ho Chi Minh City to “keep up with strong measures”. The city needs to increase testing and warning to quickly detect infections in the first 3 days. “Although Ho Chi Minh City’s testing capacity is very good compared to other provinces, with a population of 10 million people and many industrial zones, the city must have a plan to increase testing capacity in case the epidemic occurs in the industrial zone. In particular, the coordination of testing must ensure consistency among the testing units, meeting the sampling rate, tracing to catch up with the spread of the epidemic, absolutely not allowing the testing situation to be interrupted. slow, mistaken due to coordination work as happened in some places,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted. In the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City needs to urgently complete the pilot guidance on isolating F1 cases at home, ensuring strict medical safety as well as people’s privacy, in accordance with the conditions of the city. in situations where a large number of people are infected. Deputy Minister Nguyen Truong Son said that from June 18, Ho Chi Minh City will pilot self-testing samples and carry out F1 isolation at home. At the same time, a review will be organized to ensure safety in the concentrated isolation area and prevent cross-infection; strengthen the review outside the community, industrial zones. According to the Ministry of Health, on June 17, Vietnam recorded 515 new cases. In which, there are 12 isolated cases immediately after entry and 503 cases recorded domestically in Bac Giang (327), Ho Chi Minh City (137), Tien Giang (13), Bac Ninh (12), Binh Duong (7), Ha Tinh (4), Lang Son (2), Nghe An (1). Of the 503 cases, 495 were detected in an isolation ward or a blockade. Stop cross-infection in concentrated isolation khu Chairman of Bac Giang Provincial People’s Committee Le Anh Duong said that hot spots around industrial zones in Viet Yen have been cleared and cleaned. New infections appeared mainly in 25/286 concentrated isolation areas for workers of Hosiden Company. At this point, Bac Giang province will continue to expand the density in concentrated isolation areas with new infections according to high-risk groups (1 person/room), medium risk (2-3 people/room), high-risk low (4 people/room). Bac Giang classifies concentrated isolation areas according to red (with new cases for 2 consecutive days or 1 day with many cases), yellow (with cases of infection), blue (no cases of infection), to focus on inspection and key surveillance, limiting cross-infection, etc. Up to now, Bac Giang has 123 factories with about 20,000 workers returning to work in the industrial park. Enterprises strictly comply with the regulations on epidemic prevention and control in the direction that the workers of any enterprise will stay together, eat together, work together in shifts and crews. So 3 companies detected 9 cases but did not lead to widespread spread. Bac Giang has a permanent monitoring department for epidemic prevention and control in the industrial park. Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam asked Bac Giang province to focus on expanding the density in concentrated isolation areas with cases to stop cross-infection.

Besides, there were many other notable outbreaks such as the one at Hoc Mon mechanical workshop (51 cases), Ehome 3 apartment building (59 cases), Kim Minh Company (27 cases), Tan Phu District Hospital. (13 cases) Regarding the Hoc Mon mechanical workshop, an employee at the garment factory in Vinh Loc A industrial park (Binh Chanh district) was taken to concentrated isolation from June 9, and tested positive on June 15. Also located in Vinh Loc A industrial zone, on June 12, through a screening test at the hospital, a worker working at a food company was also positive. From here, the health sector took more than 100 test samples of F1 and screened for about 500 employees at the dormitory of this facility, and 350 people at the factory, and found 11 positive aggregate samples. Cu Chi field hospital, where COVID-19 patients are treated in Ho Chi Minh City. Photo: HOANG LAN On June 13, through screening, Xuyen A Hospital discovered a positive person in Tan Phu Trung industrial zone (Cu Chi district). Continue to screen close contacts, family members, recorded 4 positive cases and 6 positive pool samples. In addition, through community screening, testing more than 1,500 workers staying in Binh Tan district working for PouYuen company, there were 2 positive cases. Binh said that in the coming time, the medical force will continue to strengthen measures to control the COVID-19 epidemic in the area, strengthen tracing investigation, thoroughly zoning out the epidemic, and testing on a large scale. high-risk areas to look for sources of infection. The authorities will tighten the streamlining and screening of patients who come for examination and treatment, especially paying attention to checking epidemiological factors, carefully screening people coming from such as places where COVID-19 cases have been recorded. , who have suspicious symptoms.

HTH female patient, with a healthy history, no underlying disease, was found to have Covid-19 on May 26, transferred to Bac Giang Lung Hospital for treatment, had to breathe oxygen but her shortness of breath did not improve. . 2 days later, the patient was transferred to non-invasive mechanical ventilation. On June 2, she continued to be intubated, mechanically ventilated, dialysis osiris, and used antibiotics. Dr. Hung and colleagues intervened ECMO for patients at the 101-bed ICU Center in Bac Giang Due to her worsening condition, on the evening of June 14, Ms. H. was transferred to the largest Intensive Care Center (ICU) in the North with 101 beds located at Bac Giang Mental Hospital for mechanical ventilation, dialysis, and use. vasopressor drugs. However, the development of right heart failure was very severe, requiring high-dose vasopressors, bilateral diffuse lung damage, and did not respond to optimal medical treatment. Therefore, at 4 pm on June 15, the patient was assigned to place ECMO (artificial cardiopulmonary support). Dr. Hung said that after placing ECMO, the patient stopped taking vasopressors and improved the blood oxygenation index. However, the prognosis remains severe due to damage to both the heart and lungs. In this case, it will be necessary to continue to closely monitor each indicator. Earlier on June 12, also at the 101-bed ICU Center, doctors of Da Nang Hospital coordinated ECMO intervention for a 67-year-old female patient NTT., 67 years old. This case also had a history of being perfectly healthy. The patient tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, then was admitted to Bac Giang Lung Hospital for treatment from June 3 in a state of shortness of breath, cough, and blood oxygen reduced to 85%. enter and filter blood. At 12 o’clock on June 12, the patient was transferred to the 101-bed ICU Center in a very serious condition, intubated, and mechanically ventilated, but the patient’s lungs were severely damaged and diffused on both sides, so ECMO intervention was indicated. . With this case, up to now, according to Dr. Hung, the patient is awake, still dependent on ECMO, and the lungs are tending to improve. So far, the country has had 37 critical patients, of which 13 had to undergo ECMO intervention, of which the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases and Tropical Diseases Ho Chi Minh City had 4 cases each.

Landmark 81 has a total of 81 floors, 461 m high. This is the tallest building in Vietnam, located in the center of Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. The maintenance and technical maintenance of the entire building is performed daily by the management team and staff. Anh Vu – the technical manager of the Landmark 81 building, said that the technical team often had quick briefings early in the morning to determine the arising work to do during the day. At the same time, the technical status of the building, the work done in the previous day must be reported in detail. After that, the group of employees moved to the 79th floor of the building. This is the highest floor accessible by elevator. After that, people will walk up to the 80th and 81st floors (top floor) of the building to do their assigned work. Check the building’s power supply system. All electrical specifications must ensure safety conditions in accordance with regulations. Technical staff use specialized temperature gauges to check the heat at conductor structures and power-using equipment on the 80th floor. This is a routine job to promptly detect problems and limit problems. minimize the risk of accidental fire or explosion. A group of workers periodically maintain the glass. To do this, the worker must move on specialized rigs, in turn, check all the glass panes. The outer glass of the building is reinforced with special materials, ensuring safety and durability. Workers check a building’s cooling system. The staff checks the operating parameters of the elevator. “The building is tall, the elevator is an indispensable element in the operation. We understand this, so we should pay attention to the daily maintenance and technical maintenance, so that the elevator does not cause problems,” said Mr. Vu. to speak. The elevator of Landmark 81 building has a pulling force of 12,500 kg, each car has a load of 2,000 kg, a speed of 5m/s – is one of the fastest elevators in Vietnam. “Working on high-rise buildings requires us to have good health and overcome specific limitations.

Workers collect garbage in the quarantine area. Photo: CTC Worried waste collection workers Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, garbage collectors are very concerned because the waste source has the potential to contain pathogens, especially in isolation and blockade areas. However, due to the nature of their work, environmental sanitation workers still have to perform this task. According to Mr. Tran Van Toan (environmental sanitation worker of Ho Chi Minh City Urban Environment Company Limited): “The COVID-19 epidemic broke out, we felt very worried, the nature of our work had to continue. come in contact with a lot of waste and can’t tell which ones contain pathogens. However, we are fully equipped with protective equipment and strictly adhere to epidemic prevention and control, so we are somewhat reassured.” Agreeing, Ms. PTT (a garbage collector in Tan Phu district) shared: “With the current epidemic situation, many people don’t even dare to go out, let alone access the isolation and collection areas. garbage, because it’s really hard to know where there are infected people. However, sanitation workers like us, if they don’t do it, they won’t have a source of income to take care of their families. We hope that we will be given priority to vaccinate against COVID-19 to help alleviate some worries.” There is a risk of disease transmission from medical waste Ho Chi Minh City Urban Environment Company Limited (CITENCO) is the unit that collects and transports medical waste and waste at hospitals, isolation areas for treatment of COVID-19 patients in Ho Chi Minh City. and isolation areas, blockade areas established under the decision of the People’s Committees of districts in the city. According to experts, in isolated and isolated areas, the waste that is often at risk of infection is hazardous medical waste. For workers who collect, transport and process this type of waste, there is also a high risk of infection. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Dung, Chairman of the Vietnam Built Environment Association, commented: The collection, transportation and treatment of waste in isolation areas, field hospitals and COVID-19 patients’ blockade It is necessary to strictly follow the instructions and regulations on environmental safety and hygiene. Sanitation workers who collect and transport this type of waste, if not properly protected, are likely to be infected with disease. “The waste in the isolation area, this field hospital is mixed with household waste and medical waste, including hazardous waste such as bandages, medicine, patient waste… Especially, viruses. can be transmitted in the air and remain on the surface of the object for a certain time,” Dung said. Also according to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Dung, environmental sanitation workers who collect, transport and process various types of waste are very susceptible to exposure. Therefore, they need to be equipped with safe and appropriate working tools, and should enjoy appropriate protection and remuneration. “In my opinion, first of all, they should be given priority to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to prevent disease,” said Dr. Proposal to prioritize vaccination for garbage collectors According to a representative of CITENCO, currently all medical waste in hospitals, centers and polyclinics is collected and treated by the company according to the strict process of hazardous waste. During the outbreak of COVID-19, the company was directed by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to be in charge of collecting domestic waste in the isolation area for patients infected with COVID-19. To ensure the safety of workers during the process of collecting, transporting and treating wastes that may contain COVID-19, CITENCO proposes to the City People’s Committee and the Department of Health to give priority to public officials and employees. The company is participating in the collection and transportation of waste vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible. “The recommended vaccination cases include the staff directly managing and directing the company’s epidemic prevention and control; workers and drivers who directly collect, transport and treat wastes that may contain COVID-19, medical waste, domestic waste, and cremation; workers often come into contact with people,” said the representative. In Hanoi, Mr. Nguyen Huu Tien, General Director of Hanoi Urban Environment One Member Limited Liability Company (URENCO), also said: The company has sent a written request to the Hanoi People’s Committee, the Steering Committee for COVID-19 prevention and control. The Hanoi Department of Health considers and creates favorable conditions for the company’s officers and employees to be given priority to vaccinate against COVID-19. Hazardous waste is strictly handled According to CITENCO, the collection, transportation and treatment of medical waste are carried out by the company according to a very strict process, ensuring the safety of workers and preventing the spread of disease to the outside. The workers are equipped with protective gear that meets the standards of the medical industry. Accordingly, the waste is sealed in a special yellow container or bag, labeled with a warning of the risk of infection. Garbage before being collected to put on specialized transport vehicles (closed containers) is sprayed with disinfectant. Waste when transported to Dong Thanh waste treatment site (Hoc Mon district) continues to spray disinfectant again before being processed by high-temperature combustion technology. After burning, waste must be solidified and buried in a safe landfill dedicated to hazardous waste.

While Miss Thailand Amanda Obdam changed to 5 different outfits on her way to the US, the Brazilian contestant wore only two outfits, both of which were plain colors without textures and simple designs. During the whole competition, Julia Gama often appeared with the set Simple and discreet like this. Even the colors are very basic, not as vibrant as many other competitors. Of course, thanks to her perfect figure, she still stands out. Even when wearing dresses, Julia Gama also chooses designs that do not hug the figure. This blue dress was praised for being beautiful and elegant, but it made her unable to show off her figure.

The other contestants always wear high heels, Julia Gama is not afraid to wear sneakers and a set Simple, healthy clothes like traveling. Some of the other costumes she wore in the contest were just harmonious and beautiful, not as outstanding or gorgeous as the ones that other contestants prepared. Not to mention Julia Gama also especially likes black, although this is a color that rarely appears in Miss contests. But despite having a not-so-great costume store, Julia Gama still scored strongly with the judges and won the 1st runner-up position, just missing a little bit of luck to reach the crown.

Crowded working conditions in 19th century match factories. Photo: Wikimedia Commons In 1855, a 16-year-old factory worker named Cornelia visited a doctor in New York (USA) because of a toothache in his right lower jaw. The girl said she worked at least 8 hours a day at a match packing factory, for two years, but now her mouth hurts so much that she can’t even eat. Unbeknownst to the patient, she was regularly exposed to the toxic white phosphorus substance, which is used as a match, which caused the terrifying condition on her face, known as the “phossy jaw”. The doctor cut the patient’s gums, removed a tooth and allowed her to return to the factory. But Cornelia quickly returned to see the doctor at Bellevue hospital in a worse condition. A hole had formed in her jaw and was constantly oozing pus. Finally, in a painful and difficult surgery, the doctor removed the entire lower jaw of the patient. Cornelia was just one of hundreds of young women suffering from “phossy jaw” in the early 20th century. An illustration of a female patient suffering from “phossy jaw” – also known as “matchmaker’s leprosy”. In industrial plants, female workers are hired to dip wooden sticks in white phosphorus, soak them for hours at a time, creating matches that “can be hit anywhere.” But such close exposure to white phosphorus caused their jawbones to deteriorate. According to Allthatsinteresting, matchmakers struggled to raise public awareness of the pain they endured, but it still took decades for white phosphorus to be completely banned. However, their struggle was not in vain, patients like Cornelia were at the forefront of the fight for workers’ rights. Haunted by matches Matches were a popular commodity in England and America in the early 19th century. Industry insiders worked tirelessly to find new innovations in matchmaking technology: the use of white phosphorus. Despite its reputation for being toxic, the chemical is made into a paste that can shine on any surface with just a little friction. The “hit anywhere” matches, also known as lucifer matches, became extremely popular, and the industry that made them profited proportionally. Factory owners know that long-term exposure to white phosphorus can cause jaw necrosis, but they continue to administer it. They hire women and girls to work in the factory for 10-15 hours a day. It is estimated that in the 1900s there were almost 5 million women in the labor force in this industry. A woman with a “phossy jaw”. Image: Wikimedia Commons Every morning, factory workers come to the matchmaking workshop. Mixers mix phosphorus with glue and color, then dryer workers stack thousands of matches onto a frame. The immersion unit then dips those matchsticks into the phosphorus mixture. After the matches are dry, the workers will perform the final stage of canning. A dipping worker can dip up to 10 million matches a day, exposing himself to toxic chemicals at the same time. Factory owners have also implemented new procedures to reduce harm. Employees must wash their hands after working, workers who dip matches use masks to cover their mouths. Some other factories are looking to improve the ventilation system. But white phosphorus continues to poison workers. “The Matchmaker’s Leprosy” “Phossy jaw” is also known as “matchmaker’s leprosy”, in part because it causes facial disfigurement and is often ostracized from the workplace. The first recorded case of “phossy jaw” was in 1838 in a matchmaker living in Vienna, Austria. By 1844, a doctor in Vienna reported 22 more cases of phosphorus-related jaw necrosis, but the industry was still growing rapidly. In 1857, Dr. James Rushmore Wood of New York began writing about “phossy jaw” after treating 16-year-old Cornelia. He noticed that the first sign of the disease was jaw pain, followed by abscesses along the gum line. Sometimes the victim’s gums even glow in the dark. In some severe cases, necrosis completely destroys the jawbone, and can be fatal. Dr. Wood’s treatment of Cornelia’s jaw using a saw, known in the 19th century as a “cheese string”, was unsuccessful. Mr Wood had to perform a second surgery and monitor the patient for a month before declaring Cornelia “cure”. Other victims were not as fortunate as Cornelia. A 22-year-old girl named Barbara, who worked in a match factory for three years, died less than three months after the onset of symptoms. Then there was a 13 year old girl named Annie who noticed her arm started to glow after working in the match factory for 4 years. Like Cornelia, she also had surgery to remove her jaw. Maggie, 23, continues to make matches after undergoing five surgeries to remove her jaw. It is estimated that approximately 11% of people exposed to white phosphorus develop a “phossy function”. By 1909, the United States recorded more than 100 such cases. Painting of a match worker protest in 1871. Photo: Wikimedia Commons While the employers are indifferent, the workers are forced to solve their own problems. In June 1888, feminist activist Annie Besant wrote about the plight of matchmaking girls in England. In her article “White Slaves in London”, Ms. Besant chronicles the working conditions in the match factories and the terrifying reality of the “phossy jaw”. She pointed to inequalities in factories such as low wages, unreasonable fines, cluttered, dirty spaces. Annie Besant was a British activist who fought to reform working conditions for female match workers. Image: Wikimedia Commons Decades of struggle At the time of writing Besant, several countries had banned the use of phosphorus in factories, but not the UK, where the government argued that banning the chemical would restrict free trade. Besant’s article created a conflict between Bryant & May, a large London match factory, and their workers. Bryant & May pressured workers to sign a statement denying Besant’s demands, and fired workers who didn’t. The company’s actions caused the match workers’ strike of 1888, in which 1,400 factory workers refused to work, protesting the dire conditions. Bryant & May workers joined the 1888 strike. Photo: Wikimedia Commons The striking workers won several concessions from Bryant & May, including an end to unfair fines. But the plant continues to use white phosphorus. Although phosphorus was not yet outlawed in England, the strike of 1888 drew new attention to the appalling condition in many match factories. Journalists reported abuses, including an attempt to cover up the severity of the “phossy jaw”. In 1892, The Star newspaper published a series of photographs of victims of the “phossy jaw” at the Bryant & May company. The newspaper alleges that Bryant & May forced a worker with a “phossy jaw” to quit her job and promised to pay her when she recovered. But when the female worker recovered from her illness, they refused to hire the girl again because of the victim’s hideous appearance. The factory claimed that a woman who lost half her jaw would panic other workers. Even after learning of the cover-up, the British government decided not to ban white phosphorus, a toxin that has harmed workers for more than half a century. In 1898, the British government finally fined Bryant & May 25 pounds, equivalent to several thousand dollars in today’s prices. In 1891, William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, joined the fight against the use of white phosphorus. He opened a match factory that refused to use the chemical, hoping it would pressure other factories to do the same. His factory encouraged consumers to boycott white phosphorus matches. However, phosphorus matches were only discontinued until French chemists discovered sesquisulfide, a safe substitute for white phosphorus. Bryant & May switched to this alternative in 1901. Britain finally banned white phosphorus entirely in 1910, but decades have passed since a doctor in Vienna first determined that it caused “phossy jaw” in match workers. By then, it will be too late to undo the damage this poison has done to so many workers, “in the name” of better-quality matches.

These are 2 newly established concentrated isolation areas for F1 located at the barracks of the 17th Regiment 31st Division and the 15th Regiment of the 31st Military Region I in Lang Giang district. Medical staff are instructing the use of protective clothing for soldiers at the concentrated KCL in Lang Giang district. Currently, the 2 units have moved all soldiers out of the barracks, arranged the entire barracks into a concentrated isolation area, arranged accommodation positions for the quarantined, basically meeting the requirements. about distance. However, through the inspection, the monitoring team asked 2 units to re-process some points such as: arrangement of guard stations; there are warning signs; security force on duty 24/24h by the police; arrange an area for hand washing with water or a quick antiseptic solution; arrangement of garbage containers; arrange areas to receive supplies for quarantined people; arrange an area to disinfect vehicles entering and leaving the isolation area; person performing disinfection, means for disinfection. Currently, in addition to the overall implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures, the People’s Committee of Bac Giang province is carrying out the work of reducing the load and distancing thousands of workers in Nui Hieu village (Quang Chau Commune, Viet Yen, Bac Giang). where the density of workers is high, the infection rate is high. The reduction of load and distance is carried out in the direction of rapid testing to identify F0 cases, then they will be treated, F1 will be quarantined in other concentrated isolation areas of Viet Yen and Lang Giang districts… According to the plan, on the evening of May 30, about 350 F1 workers of Fugiang – Van Trung Industrial Park were brought to these two concentrated isolation areas. And on the morning of May 31, it is expected to bring another 150 F1 to be delivered./.

Asia Industrial Technology Joint Stock Company (Quat Dong Industrial Complex, Thuong Tin District) installed partitions at the workplace to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic. Many solutions implemented We are present at TOMECO An Khang Joint Stock Company (Ngoc Liep Industrial Cluster, Quoc Oai District) amid the complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic in the community. Here, the working atmosphere is still very busy, although workers have started to rotate to ensure distance. All of them wore masks, had to check their body temperature in and out of the factory, disinfect their hands… Worker Nguyen Quang Vinh said: “In the first 4 months of 2021, orders were collected from last year, so we couldn’t do it all. job. The disease just broke out again, but the company’s leaders have applied many prevention and control measures, so everyone is confident to focus on production.” Information with a reporter of the New Hanoi Newspaper, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TOMECO An Khang Joint Stock Company Le Quy Kha emphasized that the prevention and control of epidemics and production protection for the company is now an important task. head. The company has arranged the production block to implement the distance, while the indirect department has moved to work online. Due to the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, after the holidays of April 30 and May 1, the company requires workers who are scheduled to travel through epidemic areas or related to epidemic areas to make medical declarations. , self-isolate for health monitoring at home from 14 to 21 days. All employee benefits, even when working online, are fully maintained. “Our most successful over the past 1 year is that there have been no cases of infection and no one in the F1, F2 category,” said Mr. Meanwhile, records at B.Braun Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Thanh Oai industrial cluster, Thanh Oai district) also show that epidemic prevention measures are taken drastically. As a unit specializing in the production of intravenous fluids and single-use medical products, with more than 1,500 workers, in order to effectively prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic, the company soon established a Risk Control Committee. , operating 24 hours a day. Finance director of B.Braun Vietnam Co., Ltd. Nguyen Viet Hung said that in this fourth outbreak, the company has 1 worker named F1 who has been taken to concentrated isolation, 62 F2 workers have been quarantined. isolation at home. Therefore, the epidemic prevention measures in the company have been activated at the highest level, such as: Disinfecting the entire company; workers when coming to work must make a medical declaration, wear a mask, measure their body temperature, and maintain distance according to regulations; In the kitchen, there are shields to prevent droplets… “For those who work online, the company pays 100% of the salary. As for those who have to be isolated, the company still pays 70% of the salary. In addition to equipment imports (accounting for 55% of sales), we have 2 manufacturing plants (accounting for 45% of revenue) running at full capacity. If the situation of the Covid-19 epidemic continues to be complicated, we have planned to isolate all workers on the spot to maintain production, “said Nguyen Viet Hung. These days, local governments in the city also join hands with businesses to carry out epidemic prevention and control to maintain production. According to Chairman of Quoc Oai District People’s Committee Nguyen Truong Son, in the district there are 30 enterprises with more than 2,000 employees working in Ngoc Liep and Yen Son industrial clusters. Together with businesses to ensure safety for production, local authorities have strengthened supervision of the implementation of epidemic prevention measures such as: Disinfection of cargo vehicles and production areas; comply with the message “5K” (mask – disinfection – distance – do not gather – medical declaration)… In particular, the district updated and promptly implemented the directives of the central and city on the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic in industrial zones and clusters to all enterprises; which emphasizes the responsibility of business leaders in realizing “dual goals”… Deputy Head of the Management Board of Hanoi Industrial Parks and Export Processing Zones Tran Anh Tuan assessed that most businesses operating in industrial clusters and industrial parks have strictly implemented Covid-19 prevention measures. The Management Board daily updates information, proactively predicts early situations arising when there is a suspected case of being positive for Covid-19 so that businesses can have a plan in the production organization… Do not let the production chain break In fact, in this fourth outbreak, the Covid-19 epidemic has “attacked” industrial parks in some provinces. With the characteristics of a large concentration of workers, the new strain of SARS-CoV-2 virus has a rapid spread, so industrial zones and clusters become very high-risk points if disease prevention is neglected. Moreover, as soon as there is an infection, a workshop or even an entire factory may have to stop production, the damage is difficult to measure. As proof of this, Vice Chairman of Thuong Tin District People’s Committee Bui Cong Than said, right after detecting positive cases of SARS-CoV-2 virus at Sland Company (Hien Giang commune, Thuong Tin district) in the middle of the week. In May 2021, the district reviewed and immediately quarantined F1 cases and requested home isolation of F2s, including the company’s leadership and many workers. Accordingly, the entire paint and chemical production line must also stop working, and unfinished products must be discarded. According to Chairman of the Board of Directors of TOMECO An Khang Joint Stock Company Le Quy Kha, the most worry of enterprises is that the disease will delay production. “In 2020, the Covid-19 epidemic broke out, production was halted, the company’s revenue decreased. In the first 4 months of 2021, orders and production activities have recovered, if the disease is “attacked”, businesses will face many difficulties. Therefore, we always work together with the city to strictly implement regulations on epidemic prevention and control so that the production chain is not broken,” said Mr. Le Quy Kha. Talking about this issue, Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade Dam Tien Thang said that the city has assigned the Department to act as a standing agency in inspecting and supervising the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic and maintaining production in industrial zones and clusters in Hanoi. Through the inspection, in general, businesses and local authorities have been fiercely involved. But the level of vigilance must be raised further. In fact, doing well in epidemic prevention and control in industrial zones and clusters without letting the production chain be “broken” is also a solution to efforts to realize the “dual goal” and effectively prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic. result, economic and social development. With the resolute measures of all levels and sectors, the efforts of the business community and workers will help Hanoi city’s industrial zones and clusters be protected safely and maintain production activities.

Food of field crabs must be fresh, not stale, moldy. Need to feed the field crabs enough, if the crabs lack food, it is easy to eat each other. Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, Yen Tho commune, Dong Trieu district, Quang Ninh province harvests field crabs from her family’s farm. In ponds and fields, it is necessary to arrange a number of eating floors to assess the crab’s catching status, and at the same time to adjust the amount of food according to weather conditions. In the last months of the crab farming cycle, it is necessary to add more animal food in the diet to make the crabs grow fast and firm. It is possible to add more field tilapia and tilapia to eat crab leftovers, reducing water pollution. Field crab is the type that adapts to cool weather, so it is necessary to alternately plant water spinach, rice, and cash crops to keep the crabs’ shade in the summer. The water environment also needs to be kept clean and regularly change the source of water in and out to stimulate crabs to molt and catch strong prey. “Investment capital for crab farming is very low, mainly hiring workers to dig ponds, buy corrugated iron and bamboo poles to enclose the embankment. Currently, every day, my family earns about 3-4kg, selling 150,000 VND/kg ‘, Ms. Huong revealed. Through research, seeing that field crabs are popular with many people, taking advantage of low-lying rice fields for low productivity, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong studied and brought back field crabs to release on her field. Because field crabs have no place to produce seed, they have to buy from people who go wild. Ms. Huong said: “At first, I bought crab seed from traders from Hai Duong to release, but each release the number of dead crabs was up to 70%. After a few dead crabs, I learned from experience that if I want to have a high survival rate and grow up quickly, I have to buy native breeds…” “In addition to raising commercial crabs, I also zoned the field and selected some adult crabs to breed separately. Here I will invest in buying brick holes to build banks, planting many layers of concrete pillars, with The purpose is to let the crabs live in, creating a favorable environment for the crabs to grow and develop better”, Ms. Huong added. Talking to us, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, Chairwoman of the Farmers’ Association of Yen Tho Commune (Dong Trieu Town, Quang Ninh Province) said: “Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong’s model of field crab farming has brought high economic efficiency. . From the initial results, in the coming time, the Commune Farmers’ Union will direct the grassroots branches, exchange experiences, and mobilize people in the commune to replicate this model. Especially, taking advantage of low-lying areas and inefficient rice-growing areas to develop commercial crab farming models, contributing to increasing income and improving the lives of members and people.

On May 18, he decided to stand out and cook about 400 servings of rice, giving it to people in need in the area. Because it was a spontaneous action, he announced on his personal page, asked his relatives to notify the worker’s accommodation so that everyone could know. Mr. Nguyen Van Tu (gray shirt) carried out the activity of cooking rice and giving gifts to workers in the blockade area. “I used to run a restaurant business, so the utensils or the kitchen were available. However, the money for the materials was all paid for by me,” Tu told Zing. Hearing about the meaningful activity, some neighbors, friends and relatives also came to help the owner of the restaurant. From 5am, people started to prepare a large amount of vegetables, meat and fish and then cook to deliver rice at around 10am. Unexpectedly, 400 meals prepared by Mr. Tu and everyone were quickly distributed on the first day. Even, because he was a bit “overwhelmed”, he planned to take a break on May 19, waiting for the next day to continue, when many calls and messages asking for help returned, making him unable to bear it. “Many workers are very guilty. They are people from other provinces to work, do not have relatives here. The urgent blockade has put many people in difficult situations, some people say that the past few days have been full of instant noodles except for meals. “. Also after the first meal, some benefactors knew about the activity, so they donated some money and materials to help Mr. Tu. The dishes are divided into boxes with hot rice and distributed to everyone. On the second day of the activity, his group cooked a record of 850 servings, divided into 2 meals, 600 in the morning, 250 in the afternoon. Everyone cooked whatever they wanted, braised meat, fried vegetables, fried beans, fish sauce… about 20 The dishes are neatly arranged, full on the table waiting to be divided with rice. Because the locality is implementing social distancing, Tu also recommends that people limit concentration and arrange for a time slot to distribute meals for each area. He also asked the representatives of the innkeepers to come pick up meals and distribute them to the workers. “Sometimes when the rice ran out, but there were still people texting asking for food, I took the rest of the noodles from the restaurant for everyone, hoping to help them through the meal.” Unable to do business since the implementation of social distancing, Mr. Tu’s source of income has also been greatly affected. Therefore, even though he has a heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to continue the rice donation activity for too long. He plans to maintain it for the next few days, prioritizing those who have not been received in the past 2 days and then counting. “Being able to help people, even if I’m hungry for 1 or 2 days, I’m very happy. Most of the people and workers here are still struggling, not many people have savings to manage in such a situation. Hopefully, the epidemic will soon be pushed back so that everyone can return to their old rhythms,” he expressed.

As a major parts manufacturing company for industrial machinery, SMC China resumed operations in early February 2020, while the epidemic swept through China. But within a month, production activity here returned to pre-epidemic levels. After 3 months, SMC has 0 infections among nearly 7,000 employees, according to Think China . SMC China General Manager Ma Qinghai said that when the virus spread at the end of January 2020, many companies in China switched to producing ventilators and masks. This led to a sharp increase in orders received by SMC China. Therefore, the return to the operation of the company is paramount. The core strategy of SMC China is to keep the defense and not allow the virus to have a chance to stay. “Our employees know each other face to face and are familiar with the factory environment. As long as we secure the entry point, there will be no cross-contamination. The key lies here,” Ma said. Check employee health via mobile phone SMC China is a balance model between the need to prevent the epidemic and the need to return to work. Before returning to work, the company created a mobile app and asked employees to report their temperature and health condition every two days during their time off. This ensures workers stay healthy when they return to the factory from locations across China. Workers at the TCL air conditioning plant in Jiujang city are required to bring their own towels to dry their hands after soaping, according to an online notice. Photo: Getty. According to Mr. Ma, when he first returned to work, the goal was to ensure that there was no infection in the dormitory. To do this, the company arranges for all workers returning to Beijing to be isolated for 14 days before entering the dormitory. Each dormitory room is only occupied by 2-3 people to reduce the possibility of cross-infection. The production department must daily submit detailed records of temperature checks, workplace disinfection, mask distribution, and cafeteria meal times. The minutes also include information of each person in charge of each content in the anti-epidemic work. More than 3 months after returning to operation from February 3, 2020, SMC China has been able to supply products to many supply chains that produce anti-epidemic supplies, such as mask production machines for more than 500 companies and core components for dozens of ventilator factories. Stricter than authorities regulations Chinese authorities set strict regulations for companies that return to work, such as having to open office windows three times a day, 30 minutes each time In the capital Beijing, companies are required to stop fingerprinting and prohibiting employees from sitting across from each other during lunch. According to the Washington Post , some companies set anti-epidemic measures stricter than the regulations of the authorities. One of these companies is iPhone assembly plant Foxconn Technology Group – China’s largest private employer with more than 1 million employees. At Foxconn’s iPhone manufacturing complex in Zhengzhou, Henan province, workers are grouped into groups of 20 and have to live together day and night, according to a Zhengzhou government notice. Part of the manual instructing workers how to cover their mouths when sneezing to prevent the virus from spreading at the Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou.

Reply Washington Post , a 36-year-old worker at Foxconn said that every morning, each worker is given a mask and has their temperature checked. At lunch, they ate at the high partition canteen. “There are partitions on the table so we can’t see or talk to each other,” the worker said. Seats at the Foxconn cafeteria are affixed with a QR code for workers to scan before eating. This helps the company understand who eats where and when, the company said in a statement. At the dormitory, workers must leave their coats and bags at a designated place for disinfection. Foxconn even installed infrared cameras to check the temperature of employees as they pass by. In a statement, Foxconn said it was following “all medical and hygiene recommendations… including the use of nucleic acid testing and chest X-rays where necessary.” The company said that by the beginning of April 2020, it had produced 10 million medical masks, of which the goal was to produce 2 million pieces per day for internal use. Helping employees overcome fear According to the Think China , the strict measures at Chinese factories encountered no obstacles because the company proactively reported information and the workers’ own virus fears. “The initial problem was to help workers overcome psychological fear. The rigorous and comprehensive measure makes them feel safer… Everyone knows such strict regulations are put in place to ensure their own health,” said Hiroyuki Hamada, President and CEO of Renesas Semiconductor, said. Renesas Semiconductor is a semiconductor company with a factory in Beijing. Renesas Semiconductor’s factory has about 600 workers, of which more than 90% live in company dormitories. Before the company resumed operations on February 10, 2020, more than half of the workers were on vacation in their hometown and were picked up by the company to Beijing. Those returning by public transport must live 14 days in a segregated dormitory. Workers have lunch at Renesas Semiconductor. Photo: Think China. Tables at the Renesas Semiconductor canteen are also numbered. Workers must record the number of tables and meal times for tracking purposes. “With these measures, we were able to maintain zero cases for the past few months. Up to now, 90% of the preventive measures are still in place, ”Mr. Hamada replied Think China in May 2020. Thanks to the above epidemic prevention measures, China’s huge economic engine can be safely restarted. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of April 21, 2020, industrial enterprises that generate at least 20 million yuan in revenue have achieved an operating ratio of 99.1 % and the rate of workers returning to the factory is 95.1%.

A fresh batch of baguettes From the countryside to the city, the long bread made by hand is a familiar image in the daily life of the French people. The baguette has also been a creative inspiration for many artists and has gone into many works of art. From a foreign perspective, when it comes to France, in terms of cuisine, the baguette is probably one of the most intimate and simple symbols, next to countless types of wine, champagne or cheese. So when did baguettes in France come from? According to historian Steven Kaplan, up to now, in France, there are usually three anecdotes about the origin of baguette bread. It is said by many that the long bread was invented by the bakers of Emperor Napoleon in the early 19th century. Lighter and less bulky than the earlier round loaf, the long loaves were easily carried by soldiers. people. In another anecdote, baguettes originated in Austria and were brought to France by a Viennese baker named August Zang in 1839, and were originally sold in Paris as ovals. And finally, the baguette was invented on the Paris subway site in the 1900s, a time when workers from all over France flocked here, and there were often fights between Brittany and regional workers. Auvergne. To prevent workers from stabbing each other with knives, contractors are said to have asked bakers to make loaves of bread that are easy to break by hand rather than using a knife. However, those are just oral anecdotes. Historian Steven Kaplan asserts that the traditional baguette originated in the 20th century, stemming from a change in the dietary needs of urban people. The affluent class living in urban areas wanted to eat fresh bread many times a day, while the big, round breads weighing 1.2-2kg at that time were too big, they had to eat a few meals to finish. Moreover, people also prefer to eat the crust rather than the inside. For centuries before that, bread was made with sourdough, obtained by the natural fermentation of bacteria found in wheat. For the workers, the process of making cakes is very hard work. Steven Kaplan recounted, the baker at that time was likened to a “white miner”, working all night. Many consider it inhumane to let bakers work in such conditions, leading to a movement to find ways to reduce their hardship. By 1919, France had a law banning bakers from working at night. Therefore, the craftsmen have come up with a simpler way to make bread and shape the long, thin baguette to bake the cake faster. And so the baguette was born. According to the National Federation of French Bakery and Pastry Shops, 32,000 artisan bakeries with 180,000 employees earn about 11 billion EUR/year in revenue. However, the French Ministry of Culture said that the number of bakeries has dropped sharply in the past five decades due to competition from supermarkets with industrial, frozen bread. Many people hope that the French Ministry of Culture’s selection of baguettes to submit to UNESCO for nominations for the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity will contribute to preserving France’s artisanal bread production from the competition of the industrial production methods.

The switch to electric vehicles will affect at least 178,000 jobs in the German auto industry. Photo: VNA Ifo’s research presents a number of potential challenges in the future as governments work to phase out diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles in favor of low-emissions, even zero-emission vehicles. waste. In a statement released alongside the report, Ifo said an estimated 75,000 workers in Germany’s car manufacturing sector will retire by the middle of the decade. But if by 2025, the production of cars powered by internal combustion engines falls to levels previously predicted under current emissions regulations, the switch to electric vehicles will affect little. 178,000 jobs in the German auto industry. This group, Ifo explained, would include workers manufacturing product groups directly or indirectly dependent on internal combustion engines, with 137,000 of these working directly in the auto industry. Ifo President Clemens Fuest described the transition to electric vehicles as a major challenge, especially for auto parts suppliers as midsize companies dominate the sector. . He assessed that it is important to maintain skilled jobs in the production of vehicles using internal combustion engines and electric vehicles without changing the industry structure. The report comes after the German federal government announced its ambition to have 7-10 million new registered electric vehicles in the country by the end of the decade. In January 2021, Germany’s road traffic regulator said sales of electric vehicles in Germany will be more than 194,000 units in 2020, a threefold increase from the previous year. Internationally, the European Commission has also expressed its desire to have at least 30 million zero-emissions cars on the road by 2030, as part of its “Smart and Sustainable Transport Strategy.” . According to the International Energy Agency, about 3 million new electric cars were registered last year, a record number and up 41% from 2019.

The Egyptian pyramids are a giant structure in the middle of the desert and can be seen from extraterrestrial satellites. Building these pyramids was certainly a huge task, so who did it? The pyramids could not have been built by Jewish slaves, as no archaeological remains that can be directly related to the Jews have been found in Egypt dating to 4,500 years ago, when the needles Giza pyramids were built, archaeological research has revealed. Also, the story told in the Hebrew Bible about the slavery of the Jews in Egypt refers to a city called “Ramesses.” A city called pi-Ramesses was founded during the 19th dynasty (circa 1295-1186 BC) and named after Ramesses II, who ruled 1279-1213 BC. This city was built after the pyramid construction period ended in Egypt. Furthermore, no archaeological evidence has been found of the lost city of Atlantis for any length of time, and many scholars believe the story to be fictitious. For aliens, this idea is said to be impossible. In fact, Egyptologists say, all the evidence suggests that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. However, how the pyramid builders lived, how they were rewarded and how they were treated is still a mystery that researchers are still investigating. The pyramids and the people who built them Egypt has over 100 ancient pyramids, but the most famous include the first-order pyramid, built during the reign of pharaoh Djoser (circa 2630-2611 BC) and the first real pyramid. was built during the rule of pharaoh Snefru (circa 2575-2551 BC). The Great Pyramid was built at Giza during the reigns of pharaoh Khufu (circa 2551-2528 BC), and two of his successors, Khafre (circa 2520-2494 BC) and Menkaure (c. 2490-2472 BC), there are also pyramids built at Giza. The pharaohs gradually stopped building pyramids during the New Kingdom (1550-1070 BC), choosing instead to be buried in the Valley of the Kings, about 483 km south of Giza. Over the past few decades, archaeologists have found new evidence that provides clues as to who the pyramid builders were and how they lived. Surviving records, including papyri manuscripts discovered in 2013 at Wadi al-Jarf on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, suggest that large groups of workers helped bring the materials to Giza. The papyri found at Wadi al-Jarf tells of a group of 200 men led by an inspector named Merer. This group of workers moved the stones by boat along the banks of the Nile, 18km from the Great Pyramid at Tura, where the stones were used to build the pyramid’s outer layer. Egyptologists have previously theorized that the pyramid builders were largely done by seasonal farmers, times of the year when there was little agricultural work to do. The papyri detailing the pyramid’s history is still in the process of being deciphered and analyzed, but the results indicate that the group led by Merer did more than help build the pyramid. These workers appear to have traveled through much of Egypt, possibly as far as the Sinai desert, carrying out many of the construction projects and tasks assigned to them. This raises the question of whether they are part of a permanent professional force, rather than a group of seasonal agricultural workers who will return to their fields. Pyramid builder treatment? According to Pierre Tallet, a professor of Egyptology at the University of Paris-Sorbonne in France, who is deciphering papyri manuscripts and co-leader of the team that found them, the workers were given a diet that included scrubs. is, vegetables, poultry and meat. In addition to a healthy diet, the papyri manuscript describes members of the working group regularly receiving textiles, which could have been seen as a reward at the time. In addition, officials in senior positions involved in the construction of the pyramids may have received land grants, said Mark Lehner, director of the Association for Ancient Egyptian Studies (AERA), a Massachusetts-based research institute. Historical records show that there were times in Egyptian history when officials were granted land. However, it is not known whether the land-granted officials were involved in the construction of the pyramid. Lehner’s team was excavating a town in Giza that was inhabited and frequented by several workers who were building the Menkaure pyramids. So far, archaeologists have found evidence that the ancient inhabitants of this town once baked large quantities of bread, slaughtered thousands of animals and brewed large quantities of beer. Based on animal bones found at the site, and considering the nutritional needs of workers, archaeologists estimate that about 1,800 kilograms of animals, including cattle, sheep and goats, were slaughtered on average. average daily, to provide food for workers. The remains of the workers were buried in the tombs near the pyramid, showing that the workers had healed their bones. This shows that they have access to medical care that is available at the time. The rich diet of the pyramid builders, combined with evidence of medical care and receiving textiles… has led Egyptologists to generally agree that workers did not must be slaves. However, this does not mean that all workers have equal accommodation. AERA excavations show that some of the more senior officials lived in large houses and had the best cuts of meat. In contrast, Lehner suspects, lower-level workers may have slept in simple houses or “rested” at the pyramids themselves.

Bee salad. “Eating bees” is the local way of saying about the journey to get honey from the hive. Mr. Pham Duy Khanh, a resident of U Minh Ha and a tourist from the profession of guarding bee hive, said: “When workers collect honey from the beehive, they often enjoy a part of honey and young honeycomb on the spot to assess the quality. amount of honey as well as reward yourself. Because eating bees in the forest is always better than taking them home.” U Minh Ha wild honey is a specialty of Ca Mau, famous for its quality that is hard to match. Because only bees that suck nectar of Melaleuca flowers can give clear yellow honey with a gentle floral scent and pure sweetness. In particular, the bees only come to nest when the Melaleuca forest is planted close to nature on a large and dense area. With lush green melaleuca forests all year round, U Minh Ha National Forest is an ideal habitat for bees. Especially, at the time when Melaleuca flowers bloom, a lot of honey bees fly back to make nests. Capturing this behavior, Mr. Pham Duy Khanh’s family planted Melaleuca on an area of ​​60ha, creating a living environment to attract bees and preserve the profession of guarding bees. According to local people, the “eating bee” season usually starts from about March onwards, when the weather is dry and hot, suitable for melaleuca flowers to bloom and bees to make honey. A few weeks before this time, people have prepared to set aside the truss for the bees to make a nest. This truss set is usually made from melaleuca tree, straight body, with a diameter of 10-15cm, peeled off, dry. The truss is pitched in the shape of a roof and is suitable for locations where the sun shines through. The time for bees to nest is about 20-30 days. After that, people will visit and collect honey at the right time when the hive has formed. To collect honey, workers must carry a smoker or a torch made of coconut fiber, long-sleeved clothes, a hood, gloves, a knife and other tools to store honeycombs and honeycombs. Usually, the worker uses a knife to cut and separate the honey from the hive, leaving about 1/3 of the hive for the bees to make a new nest. Pham Duy Khanh shared: “The habit of bees when growing up will separate the colony to make new nests, so it will continue to give honey. A nest like this, if exploited well, can get honey 3-4 times.” After cutting the honeycomb out of the nest, squeeze or squeeze the honey. Each hive on average gives about 3-5 liters of honey, with nests up to 10 liters. In the dry season, honey is more abundant and of better quality than in the rainy season. When beekeeping is exploited as a tourist product, visitors will experience the journey into the forest to collect honey with local workers. This journey brings many interesting things, not only the thrill of weaving through the forests and lagoons; visitors can also enjoy honey on the spot. Young bees are also processed into unique dishes. It is young bee salad, young bee pancakes, young bee porridge, young bee sauce or deep-fried young bees. This is a special feature that can only be experienced directly in U Minh Ha forest. Beekeeping is a typical profession of the U Minh Ha forest area, which is not only valuable in terms of economy but also imbued with local cultural identity. Since then formed a tourism product that is attracting more and more tourists to Ca Mau.

The craftsman’s technique of brooding silk in the village of Co Chat is rare in any region. Silkworm cocoons must be carefully selected and classified before being put into the silk tractor. Cocoons have two types: the white cocoon and the golden cocoon, depending on the breed of silkworm. Any color cocoon will produce that color silk. The most common is the white cocoon because it produces a high quality, high value silk. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) In the pot of boiling water evaporating, silkworm cocoons dance, the silk thread slowly crept into the small hole and rolled into the reel. The women and sisters quickly rinsed the water, adding cocoons to the pot so that the silk would not be interrupted. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) This stage is usually performed by women. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) Most of the village elders who are still attached to the profession still follow the craft method as a habit, love the profession or for a living. Whatever the reason, they are still passing on their passions and cultural identities to the next generation every day. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) Mrs. Nguyen Thi Yen pondered: ‘In the past, there were 9 out of 10 families who worked as silk broiler. Now, the whole village has only 5-6 houses remaining. But probably no one is working at the end of the age class like her. Young people all go to other jobs. ‘ (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) Silk after drying will be bought by the weaving factories, spun and woven into fabric. Most of Co Chat village silk is exported to Thailand, India, Laos and in the country, there is Van Phuc silk village (Ha Dong). (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) The silk puller must stir the cocoon evenly, otherwise the thread will be too thick or too thin. If working at full capacity, a worker can pull 20 rolls of silk a day. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) After pulling the silk, the worker must pick up all the impurities and wrap the silk mold smoothly and evenly. Silk rolls must be white and clean before they can be dried. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) According to Mr. Pham Van Dong, who has 30 years of his or her attachment to the silk reeling profession in Co Chat village: ‘The difficulty of this profession is finding the output. Silk is predominantly preferred overseas than domestically. Meanwhile, people face many difficulties when borrowing capital, maintaining production, so they quit many jobs. ‘ During the 2-year outbreak of COVID-19, the silk weavers in Co Chat also struggled because the silk produced could not be exported abroad. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) In the sun, the silk rolls glisten with gold, silvery, shiny, and soft. According to the experience of longtime workers, the silk must be dried in the big sun to be bright and beautiful. If it is cloudy, the silk will be gray and not of quality. Silkworming in Co Chat village is completely done by hand, does not use bleach like industrial silk, so it is durable and naturally bright. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +) The shiny nymphs, after pulling out the silk, are sold to cordyceps processing facilities or sold to the market as a dish. (Photo: Bich Ha / Vietnam +)

She discussed with her husband to stop sewing and open a shop selling silk products. She named the silk establishment Dong Huong-grafted from the couple’s name as a guarantee to customers about the quality and origin of the product. Instead of mass production, many Dong Huong silk products are handmade. Therefore, the time and effort of the craftsman put into a silk product is also more. For example, to complete a scarf, it takes 5 hours to finish a handkerchief while a machine only needs 15-20 minutes. Completing a silk tie from cut, pressed, and hand-sewn takes 3 hours. The silk blanket is made up of hundreds of colorful silk fabrics that require 5 meticulous craftsmen to staple combs, sew hands … Ms. Thu Huong hopes that Vietnamese silk will gradually become familiar with domestic customers. Ms. Huong shared, just looking at the product can appreciate the craftsmanship and love of silk workers. A skillful and meticulous worker will give a steady, smooth path; on the contrary, the rush and rush can damage the silk. Huong especially loves and cherishes silk and wants products made by the company to be beautiful, perfect and diverse in designs and types. Dong Huong Silk Factory is one of the first establishments to market the “Miss Tam” ao dai wearing with skirts, which has become a “hot trend” for many women. Ms. Huong also launched a wide range of flare skirts, hugging skirts, long skirts and silk dresses for the evening parties, receptions … With shirts, she also designs many long designs; and silk scarves are attached to silk flowers to help women wear a scarf fast and still beautiful. Never been trained in fine arts and fashion, but with her sense of aesthetics and passion for silk, Huong always has unique innovations and creations on silk. For example, she has created the form of painting on high quality silk. From a white silk, she used the watermarking method, colored scales on the water, then gently put the silk on. Silk sheets are printed with special colors, creating beautiful, varied patterns and patterns, without any fragments. In addition, she also has hand-painted silk products with flowers and leaves, pictures of many landscapes … very beautiful. The color painted on silk is durable and soft, not cracked or broken like other silk printing. Ms. Huong said: “Me and the members of the company really want to bring Vietnamese silk closer to the Vietnamese people. In order for everyone to be able to use silk products in everyday life … When silk becomes more attached to life, silk making will have a chance to thrive again ”.

The process of making glass blowing through many stages. The first is the selection of raw materials, the glass fragments must ensure no stains and be classified according to different blue and white colors. The broken or worn glass pieces are then recycled by furnace and heated in a molten state. Glass can be machined in many ways such as blowing, pressing, pulling, rolling … but the popular machining method that has been applied for hundreds of years is still “blowing”. You must first “whip” molten glass into the end of a long iron tube, then put your mouth on the other end of the tube and blow. In this way, the glass at the other end bulges out. While blowing, the worker must shape and make the product of the appropriate thickness. In the glass forming steps, the blowing technique is the most important, the craftsman said. The worker must regulate his breath so that it is rhythmic and suitable for each product. Therefore, in addition to their health, skilled craftsmen also have to have breath-holding tricks to fit the desired shape. As the oldest person still working as a glassblower in Giap Long village (Thong Nhat commune), Mr. Ho Van Ginger shared: “With the naked eye, the worker has to estimate the maturity of glass to start blowing. At this time, the operation must be fast and continuous, without a break even for a second, because the glass out of the fire quickly cools, if stopped, it will be distorted immediately. ” According to him, in addition to perseverance, the blower needs to be careful when constantly exposed to fire above 1,200 degrees C, not only that, it also needs meticulousness and creativity to just skillfully adjust the breath. slightly, hands are rhythmic to create straight, patterned curves. Each glass factory has its own know-how in the brewing process. The appropriate incubation time and temperature for each product will determine the brightness and durability of the product. Finished product after the oven meets the requirements with transparent white, sharp and delicate lines. With the designs that require a lot of quantity, the finished product must reach the correct rate, all “hundred as one”. The process of making glass products consists of many stages that require meticulousness and ingenuity of the craftsman. Photo: Diem Quynh The first and most popular blown glass product was Philatop syringe, followed by other products such as oil bulb, thermos cap, drinking cup, seedlings. In the beginning, when there were no sources of raw materials, electricity and motors, the craftsman created and utilized other materials and craft tools to the glassblowing profession. Used fluorescent bulbs are used to take advantage of, wash off the lime inside and melt to blow. The forge furnace is used as a glass blowing bell, the gas pedal is below, the upper uses 6 wicks rolled together, continuously pumped kerosene to burn the fire up to a thousand degrees. The worker uses two concrete pieces to close the fire to a slot, the stronger the wind pedal, the bigger the fire, the heat is used for different types of glass such as alkaline, neutral, and resistant glass. high heat. When the glass was first put in the fire, it will turn green and burn to the point where it will turn white. The main glass products of the craft village today are test tubes, bulbs, bottles. Photo: Diem Quynh During the blowing process, workers must focus on observing when the glass is ripe and blowing, rotating hands to shape, in addition, it is necessary to twist, pull, and weld techniques. Different weak blow strength results in different products as well as the thickness of the glass. After finishing blowing, to avoid sudden shrinkage or breakage when storing boiling water (for glasses), it is necessary to incubate it for a few hours. After that, all products are covered with newspaper and carefully lined with straw so that the product is not broken or broken. In addition to household products, Thong Nhat craftsmen also blow shapes of animals such as deer, ba ba, fish, pine trees, 12 zodiacs, wind chimes … very sophisticated. At a time when the craft was developed, the animals were filled with colored water inside, which was favored by the market. At present, Giap Long, Hoang Xa and Thuong Giap villages of Thong Nhat commune still retain their jobs. However, each village has only a few households following the industrial way. In the years 1980 – 1990, glassblowing was an important job of the commune, making a mark with the famous Thong Nhat Glass Cooperative near and far.

Located the city center. In Ha Tinh, 50km to the South, live squid and squid are caught by skilled workers at night, and the restaurants buy and feed. According to the people, squid jumps are squid that, when picked up for processing, is still alive, struggling, eyes and stars glow on the squid body blinking continuously. The area of ​​floating squid business is located far from the city center. Ha Tinh about 50km Squid can process many different dishes such as boiled, steamed, salad, grilled, fried … but simply and keep the crisp, sweet taste of the squid is to let the whole thing clean, put in a pot to boil a few minutes picked out immediately. The indispensable spice when eaten is mustard or ginger fish sauce, guise leaves … In the area of ​​Eo Bach temple (Hai Phong village, Ky Loi commune), there are 19 rafts that trade in Vung Ang squid. Every day here welcomes hundreds of visitors to enjoy real squid dance. At present, each kg of squid is sold at the price of 700,000 VND 1 million but still sold out. The owner of Thanh Nhan raft said that a week back, there was no more squid for sale because the crowd arrived and the amount of squid caught from the sea was very small. “Squid is out of stock because visitors come in crowded but at sea can not catch squid. Usually, from February of lunar calendar to August of lunar calendar, there is dance ink. Around April and May of the lunar calendar is near-shore. Currently, we have to go offshore to have ink, ”said the owner of this raft. Squid is caught by skilled fishermen and sold to the owners of the raft Usually, the price of squid jumps at 500,000-600,000 VND / kg, at peak the price of squid is sold for 700,000 to 1 million VND / kg. Mr. Le Xuan Vuong, Chairman of Ky Loi Commune People’s Committee (Ky Anh town, Ha Tinh), said that there are 19 floating rafts that trade in squid. The number of tourists gathered here to eat and drink is very large, especially on holidays. “Some raft owners can catch squid by themselves, let them breed and sell, while the rest buy them from fishermen at night. Here the sea has moderate salinity, so it can feed the squid, but other places cannot because the squid is sensitive to water. According to scientists, the salt concentration in the sea is suitable for the living conditions of the squid, ”said Vuong. According to Mr. Vuong, at business establishments, the prevention of Covid-19 is always ensured. “Compliance and high awareness by businesses about disease prevention. In the coming time, the locality is oriented to trade squid and dance associated with tourism links such as Mui Ron lighthouse, experience squid fishing with fishermen … “, Mr. Vuong added. Squid jump is caught by skilled fishermen from the sea Fresh squid is then brought back from the sea The homeowners bought them and let them go Squid jump Vung Ang According to the owners of floating rafts, they are currently buying from squid fishermen for 600 to 700,000 VND / kg, but they do not have to buy. Meanwhile, the jumping squid business also encounters certain risks. “The survival rate of the squid that jumps from the sea is about 70%. For example, 10 squid, only about 7 live, 3 will die, not all of them will live well. Ink is sensitive to water, so it is easy to die. On days when the sea does not have much waves, the squid will live well. When the tide goes up and down, water flows into the cages, the squid will die a lot, ”added Thanh Nhan restaurant owner. According to the squid traders, Vung Ang sea has a higher salinity, so the squid will taste better and have a unique taste compared to other seas. “Fresh squid is the best, but is out of stock, so we will replace the squid with frozen fresh squid, sell more fish, crabs … to serve tourists coming to this sea,” said a raft owner. Squid dance is also known as squid swimming, living so it jumps and splashes and blinks Squid has become a famous specialty in Ha Tinh Each kg of squid ranges from 600,000 VND to 1 million (depending on the time) Squid jumped after boiling Fresh squid salad is an indispensable dish when diners come to Ha Tinh Betel leaf roll becomes a characteristic flavor of steamed or boiled squid Squid salad with lemon juice, served vegetables like perilla Squid dance is the point for young people to “check-in” Guests can come enjoy dancing squid at night
