Theo giáo sư Võ Tòng Xuân, nếu hợp đồng giữa Tổng cục Dự trữ Nhà nước và các doanh nghiệp cung cấp gạo dự trữ đã được ký kết thì mọi việc có thể dễ dàng phân xử bởi về nguyên tắc, đã ký hợp đồng là phải thực hiện, nếu phá vỡ thì cứ căn theo hợp đồng, theo luật để xử lý và phải xử lý nghiêm.

Can Vietnam Get Its Military Out of Business?
Despite continued efforts on this front, significant challenges remain
Last week, Vietnam’s legislature passed an amendment that reinforces the need to continue to reduce the role of the military in business in the country. Though the move does represent the latest in a series of steps taken by the country to address a longtime challenge, it also obscures the difficult political and economic realities that remain on this front.
Not unlike several other Southeast Asian states – from Myanmar all the way down to Indonesia – the military’s role in business in Vietnam remains a significant and often underappreciated challenge. Focus on the subject tends to wax and wane, with discrete developments, such as disputes over particular tracts of land or individual pieces of legislation, driving occasional interest rather than a fuller understanding of this as a systemic and pervasive challenge.

Southern California Edison Contracts Huge Storage Portfolio to Replace Gas Plants
The California utility’s 770-megawatt battery storage procurement, among the largest ever seen, faces a tough deadline in August 2021.
NextEra Energy will build three large solar-backed storage systems for Southern California Edison.
Southern California Edison has signed seven contracts for a combined 770 megawatts of grid battery projects, one of the biggest single procurements of its kind. The utility wants to switch them on by August 2021, which would be a record-fast turnaround for projects of that magnitude.

How Blood Sugar Can Trigger a Deadly Immune Response in the Flu and Possibly COVID-19
Glucose metabolism plays a key role in the cytokine storm seen in influenza, and the link could have potential implications for novel coronavirus infections
Many of the people dying in the novel coronavirus pandemic appear to be harmed more by their own immune system than by the virus itself. The infection can trigger a cytokine storm—a surge in cell-signaling proteins that prompt inflammation—that hits the lungs, attacking tissues and potentially resulting in organ failure and death. But this phenomenon is not unique to COVID-19; it sometimes occurs in severe influenza, too. Now a study sheds light on one of the metabolic mechanisms that help orchestrate such runaway inflammation.

Ứng dụng AI trong kiểm tra, quản lý vận hành lưới điện truyền tải
Với sự phát triển của KHCN, thiết bị bay không người lái (UAV) gắn thiết bị ghi hình độ phân giải cao đã được ứng dụng rộng rãi trong các lĩnh vực. Tại EVNNPT, UAV đã được sử dụng trong công tác kiểm tra, quản lý vận hành đường dây, xử lý dây diều, vật thể mắc vào dây dẫn. Việc ứng dụng UAV giúp tiết kiệm thời gian, công sức lực lượng công nhân, đặc biệt giảm nguy cơ tai nạn lao động do trèo cao.
Tuy nhiên vấn đề nảy sinh là trong các đợt kiểm tra, thiết bị ghi, chụp lại một khối lượng rất lớn hình ảnh, việc phân loại, đánh giá tình trạng vận hành thiết bị từ khối lượng lớn hình ảnh này mất rất nhiều công sức của đội ngũ quản lý vận hành.

In Sweden, Trash Heats Homes, Powers Buses and Fuels Taxi Fleets
By Sept. 21, 2018
LINKOPING, Sweden — In a cavernous room filled with garbage, a giant mechanical claw reaches down and grabs five tons of trash. As a technician in a control room maneuvers the spiderlike crane, the claw drops its moldering harvest down a 10-story shaft into a boiler that is hotter than 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. A fetid odor emanates from plastic trash bags discarded by hundreds of thousands of homes.

Trip down memory lane: a secret army base inside Saigon Zoo
 |
|
Nhan Huong inside the Saigon Zoo & Botanical Gardens (Thao Cam Vien) in District 1 is at the exact location the restaurant was when it was a secret base for the People’s Army half a century ago. It was where soldiers held secret meetings before battles. |
 |
|
The restaurant was established by Nguyen Van Tung, who was born in 1913 in Tra Vinh Province. He named it Nhan Huong after his late wife. Saigon Zoo was chosen as the location because it was a crowded place which enabled the troops to go in and out easily without drawing much attention. In addition, it was also conveniently located near the enemy headquarters. |
 |
|
The relic has been re-created to look exactly as it did half a century ago. |
 |
|
The restaurant employees were all relatives of the owner, which enabled him to keep the goings-on there confidential. |
 |
|
Among its guests would be U.S soldiers and security personnel, who had no inkling the restaurant was a secret enemy base. |
 |
|
The bedroom Vietnamese soldiers used to rest. |
 |
|
Also on display are historical documents, images and weapons. During the 1968 Tet Offensive, the restaurant served as an important base for the storming of the Independence Palace. |
 |
|
Some weapons used by the communist soldiers are on display. |
 |
|
Nhan Huong Restaurant gets many visitors especially during holidays. The place was recognized as a historic relic in 2014. Vietnam celebrates Reunification Day on April 30, which this year marks the 45th anniversary after the fall of the Saigon regime. |

Work began Monday on a 280 hectare resettlement area for the Long Thanh International Airport project, with residents set to receive their land lots in August.
The Loc An – Binh Son resettlement area, located in the southern province of Dong Nai, where the new airport is to be built, consists of over 5,000 land lots for 29,000 residents.
Dong Nai authorities will build roads, utilities, schools, markets, community centers and religious facilities before handling the land lots to residents to construct their own houses.
The first 700 households are set to receive their land lots in August.
This is the first of two resettlement areas that will be built for residents affected by the Long Thanh Airport project.
