Six more Vietnamese firms eligible to export tra fish to US
With the decision, the total number of Vietnamese tra processing firms eligible to enter the US market increases to 19. Vietnamese tra fish sector aims to earn some 1.6 billion USD from exports, and produce between 1.6 – 1.7 million tons of tra fish products in 2022. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development , tra fish exports to the US will continue to increase because the demand from this market is still huge due to a decrease in US domestic production, and high prices of seafood in the country. The Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Management Department noted that firms should comply with provisions of the Fish Food Safety Control Program and ensure that the entire tra fish production, processing and export chain fully meets the requirements of both Vietnam and the US./.

Coach Park thanks players after hard-fought SEA Games semifinal against Malaysia
"Not just this game but every game is challenging. There was a certain pressure in the semifinals and fortunately the team were able to overcome it. Of course, there are still many shortcomings, but this is still an opportunity for the team to improve. Overall, my players have given their best. As the head coach, I want to thank them and the fans for supporting us," Park said in a conference after the game on Thursday. Vietnam were rated higher than Malaysia, but they had trouble finding a way through the opponent’s solid defense and only sealed victory with the goal of Nguyen Tien Linh in extra time. This has happened a few times in the group stage when Vietnam faced defensive teams like Philippines and Myanmar. "I always want the players to follow through with my strategy and the game to go as planned. But it’s football and sometimes things don’t go the way we want. The players also tried to follow the tactics. Nonetheless, result is the most important thing.

Elon Musk is wrong about zero restraint free speech
Last month, a short news piece became a topic of discussion for my class. The lesson was about the power of news and information, about how fake news is detected and analyzed. It turns out that my students, all young people, are feeling the brunt of the sheer amount of information they are bombarded with. Information about the Covid-19 pandemic, for instance, is an endless sea. A recent study by Oxford University revealed that around 76 percent of young people are exposed to fake news from online sources at least once a week, an increase of 50 percent from two years ago. "A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots" said Mark Twain. I think that quote is apt for our times. In the past, large platforms like Facebook played it safe; they only called themselves technological platforms that aggregate information to connect users, not media companies. That's how they avoided the troubles associated with being a publisher. The tech world … [Read more...] about Elon Musk is wrong about zero restraint free speech
Glamping gains popularity in Hanoi after pandemic
In a tent near Suoi Chieu Lake in the northern Son La Province, Trang, 37, and her husband hug their two children, look at the night sky, tell each other stories, and then go to sleep.
