    Is it food!

    If we understand “consciousness” as “awakening”, enlightenment: This question may be the echo of a soul seeking truth – asking whether what we see is the profound truth, or just an illusion, a reflection through the eyes of instinct, of a being that has never really known that it is alive.

Gio suong roi verse

Photo Gio suong roi 
Vietname: Mộng thu sang gió lay mặt hồ gió sương rơi, sương khói đảo khuynh thành.              English: Autumn dream comes, wind shakes the lake, wind and mist fall, mist and smoke overturn the city.                                                          The poem you gave has a mystical, ancient color - with the breath of a quiet autumn scene mixed with a bit of mystery. Let's try to develop that part in the style of a metaphysical - legendary epic:

Autumn dream comes, the wind shakes the lake's surface,

Dew drops fall - quietly like a broken bell in the void,

Mist and smoke tilt, leaning the silent Citadel,

Ancient tiles bend their backs under the footprints of the moon,

The pine trees tremble slightly like someone keeping a thousand-year oath that has not been revealed.

Is there anyone sitting on the autumn porch,

Hearing the swallows' wings parting the sky,

Is there anyone looking at the mirror of the lake,

Seeing their own face broken by the whirlpool of time?

Autumn is not just autumn,

Autumn is the threshold of an eternal dream,

Where the Citadel falls into the mist,

Where the wind drops an unfinished oath into people's hearts.

Da La poetry

Photo Da La
Vietname: Ong dạy khờ hút mật hoa bay lượn ngã ngãn, Bay đến La Đà, xuân thấm thì vội đến đà La.                                                                              English: The foolish bee sucks nectar and flies around, flying to La Da, spring is in full swing, hurry to Da La.                                                            The poem has the color of a magical epic: it has both innocence ("the foolish teacher"), the dance of nature ("sucking nectar and flying"), the legendary place name ("La Da", "Da La"), and the changing of seasons ("spring seeps through").

The foolish teacher,

like a young bee lost in the flower layer,

falling in the sweet scent of honey,

then quickly drifting towards La Da,

where the stream of time flows back to the source of dreams.

Arriving at Da La,

when spring seeps into the dew on the grass,

he hears the wind humming like the rhythm of an ancient zither,

the sky opens up layers of faintly purple clouds,

leading him into the intersection

between dreams and reality,

between the soul of the land and the desire to fly far away.

The foolish teacher,

not knowing whether the path is destiny,

or just a dreamy butterfly

taking the soul of spring from La Da to Da La,

then disappearing into the endless mist...

Vietname: Rạn người yến phi, bạch tùng ô, ríu rít tí rí mẹ lạc con, chốn xa xăm con ong lạc bầy mùi hương lạ, yến bay.                                                          English: The reef is full of swallows, white pines and black pines, chirping like a lost mother and her child, in a faraway place, the lost son has a strange scent, swallows fly.                                          The passage you wrote has many associative tones - lyrical - legendary, with images of swallows - white pine - lost bees - strange scent, evoking a picture that is both natural and surreal.

Swallows, white pine,
The echo of small wings like a melody falling from the sky,
Chirping, mother lost her child,
Leading to a foggy place she has never known.

Far away, a lost bee,
Carrying a strange scent from the outside world of sand and wind,
Swallows still fly, overcoming the layer of ash and smoke,
Like a messenger between the human world and dreams.

Each flapping wing is a fragile streak of light,
Each echo is a thread weaving destiny,
In the void, the swallows scatter and gather,
Like human belief cracking and then mending.

sexy office lady 2025

What is the Sexy Office Lady (Office Mermaid)?

The “Office Mermaid” Aesthetic

This trend revives classic office looks—think pencil skirts, collared shirts, and heels—but with a modern, Office Mermaid. It’s elegant, bold, and subtly sexy. Signature accents include slits, sheer fabrics, oversized “geek-chic” glasses, and statement accessories—like pops of red or prints.

Photo image The Black March
The Gen Z Work Style Makeover.

Fashion and lifestyle media are describing a dramatic shift in how the office is dressed. Gen Zers and Millennials are calling this trend “office girl”—a combination of confidence, individuality, and playfulness. It’s not about fitting in, it’s about standing out.

High Fashion Meets the Work Wardrobe:

Rebellious elegance is making a big splash. Luxury brands like Prada, Stella McCartney (from “Laptop to Lapdance”), Balenciaga, and even Ferrari (yes, that Ferrari!) are incorporating elaborate cuts, exaggerated silhouettes, and playful contrasts into their fall/winter collections — embracing themes like back to work, clean-girl, and corpcore.

Corporate vs. Sexy — A Delicate Balance:

Conservative traditional suits are being reimagined — miniskirts, crop tops, and pajama-style pants have made their way into the office. Known as the “corporate fetish” or “office mermaid,” this fashion movement celebrates femininity and power — but also raises important questions about workplace norms.

Celebrity Inspiration:

Celebrity Looks That Reflect This Movement:

Halle Berry recently wore sheer lingerie on the red carpet, paired with a pencil skirt and blazer - a look that's super modern for the office.

Hailey Bieber showed off this aesthetic with a chic minidress, blazer, sheer tights and bold accessories on her winter trip.

Trend Snapshot: What's Driving This Trend?

So, what can you expect in 2025?

High-usage with a twist: Structured basics (like blazers and skirts) paired with unexpected fabrics.

Personal Style Power: Workwear is not just about conformity, it’s about telling your story – sophisticated, confident, and unabashedly stylish.

Seasonal and Cultural Buzz: As brands and influencers continue to push this trend, it’s becoming more mainstream – set to explode in Fall/Winter 2025 and beyond.

From the fever of collecting millions of views to the scene of being held by Labubu

Labubu "cools down": From a million-view collection fever to a scene of "stockpiling"

From peak to decline

Photo image Мандалжав С.
In 2024, Labubu - the "tiny monster" of Pop Mart - created an unprecedented collection fever in Vietnam. The "blind boxes" were hunted by young people, pushing the selling price up to 2-5 times higher than the original price; rare versions were even traded for up to 4 million VND/box.

However, after only a few brilliant months, from the beginning of 2025, the Labubu market began to decline. Players switched to the emerging Baby Three line, causing Labubu to gradually lose its appeal. The current price is only around the original price of ~380,000 VND/box, down 50% compared to the peak period.

Reasons for the decline

Explosive supply: Pop Mart expands distribution, eliminating the scarcity factor that once pushed prices up.

Fast trend: Fast attraction but also fades quickly, when the collector community easily "jumps on the trend."

Declining artist effect: The image of Lisa (Blackpink) or many Vietnamese stars once contributed to fueling the fire for Labubu, but now this effect has almost disappeared.

Legal pressure: "Raffle" activities (livestreaming blind box giveaways) are warned to be illegal, causing the heat to decrease further.

Speculators "hold goods"

At its peak, many people bought Labubu wholesale to resell, making double or triple the profit. But now, many speculators admit that they have to "hold the whole warehouse," unable to sell, even displaying it in their homes instead of waiting for customers to buy (CafeF).

The future: Short-term fad or a return opportunity?

According to Times Union, Labubu is likely just a “fad” – a short-term craze that will fade. It is predicted that by the end of 2025, its appeal will continue to decline.

However, some opinions say that if Pop Mart launches limited editions, collaborates with big brands or innovates designs, Labubu still has a chance to return. The prerequisite is to build a sustainable collecting community, instead of relying on temporary effects.

Summary

Time Market status 2023 – 2024 Fever explodes, prices skyrocket Early 2025 Downtrend, Baby Three reigns Mid 2025 Speculators “hoard goods,” the market cools down Forecast Late 2025 Appeal continues to decline, innovation is needed to revive.

Cambodian National Assembly Passes Law Allowing Revocation of Nationality for Treason

The Cambodian National Assembly has officially passed a bill amending the Nationality Law, paving the way for the revocation of nationality for citizens convicted of treason or colluding with foreign powers to harm national interests. This is considered one of the most important legal changes in Cambodia in 2025.

Photo The Cambodian National
Key developments

July 11, 2025 – The Cambodian National Assembly with 125/125 MPs agreed to amend Article 33 of the Constitution, changing the provision from prohibiting the revocation of nationality to:

“The acquisition and loss of Cambodian nationality, including the revocation of nationality, shall be determined by law.”

July 14 – The Senate approved the amendment with 58/60 votes in favor, creating the basis for promulgating a specific law on nationality revocation.

21/7 – King Norodom Sihamoni issues a royal decree, officially announcing the amendment to the Constitution, legalizing the revocation of citizenship under the new law.

25/8/2025 – The National Assembly continues to pass a bill amending the Nationality Law, allowing the revocation of citizenship in cases of “collusion with foreign countries to sabotage the state”. The bill was passed with the support of 120 participating parliamentarians.

This document is currently submitted to the Senate and awaits the King's signature. However, due to the absolute dominance of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), the above steps are considered to be only procedural.

Significance and concerns

The new regulation applies to all citizens, including those with dual nationality and naturalized. Those convicted of collusion with foreign countries may lose their citizenship.

Amnesty International and many human rights organizations warn that this law could be used as a tool for political repression, restricting freedom of speech and leading to the risk of statelessness, violating international human rights law (AP News, Amnesty International).

Important timeline

Date Event 11/7/2025 National Assembly amends the Constitution, paving the way for stripping citizenship 14/7/2025 Senate approves amendments 21/7/2025 King issues decree amending the Constitution 25/8/2025 National Assembly passes law amending the Nationality Law 

Although the law is about to come into effect, international observers are concerned that this new power could be abused for internal political purposes, rather than just protecting national security.

Kitchen TVs Quartz or Granite Countertops Closed Kitchen

Analyze the pros and cons of these three elements (kitchen TV, quartz/granite countertop, closed kitchen)?

Photo image Abderazak Labidi

For example

Kitchen TV

Helps you cook while entertaining, updating news, watching recipes.

Should be mounted neatly on the wall or in a built-in cabinet to save space, avoid grease stains.

Quartz or granite countertop

Quartz: durable, less water-absorbent, many modern colors, easy to maintain.

Granite: natural, beautiful grain, heat and impact resistant, luxurious but may need periodic waterproofing.

Closed kitchen

Helps prevent odors from spreading to the living room/bedroom.

Creates a private space, less affecting common activities.

However, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation, odor extraction and natural light.

Strongest evidence of extraterrestrial life found

Scientists have just announced a series of discoveries that are considered the “strongest evidence” for the possibility of extraterrestrial life, opening a new chapter in the field of astronomy and astrobiology.

1. Biogas on planet K2-18b

In 2025, a research team using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered traces of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in the atmosphere of planet K2-18b, 124 light years from Earth. These are compounds that on Earth are only produced by life, such as marine phytoplankton.

K2-18b is classified as a Hycean world - an ocean planet with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, located in the "habitable zone" of its host star, where liquid water is likely to exist.

 Notably, the DMS/DMDS detection level has a scientific confidence level of about 3σ (~99.7%), which is a thousand times higher than that of Earth, making the biological origin hypothesis reasonable. However, scientists remain cautious, emphasizing that more observations are needed to rule out the possibility that these compounds were formed by non-biological processes. 

2. “Building blocks of life” from asteroid Bennu 

In the Solar System, NASA has also just announced the results from the asteroid Bennu sample brought back by the OSIRIS-REx mission. The analysis showed the presence of amino acids, nitrogen-containing compounds, sodium minerals, and even traces of the primitive “genetic code”. 

This finding reinforces the panspermia hypothesis – the idea that life on Earth may have originated from organic components brought by asteroids or comets. 

 3. Potential for icy moons

The two moons Enceladus (Saturn) and Europa (Jupiter) have long been considered “strong candidates” for life. Data from the Cassini spacecraft has shown that Enceladus erupts with plumes of organic-rich water vapor from its subglacial ocean.

NASA now has high hopes for the Europa Clipper mission, scheduled to arrive at Europa in 2030, to directly search for biological signs in the ice and deep ocean below.

4. Controversial traces

Previously, the meteorite ALH84001 from Mars caused a stir when it was said to contain microscopic structures similar to fossilized bacteria. But so far, this hypothesis has not reached a consensus in the scientific community and is often considered weak evidence.

 Location/Source High Evidence Convincing Leve lK2-18bDMS/DMDS Detection – Biogas Strongest to Date Bennu Amino acids, nitrogen, organic compounds Possible origin of extraterrestrial life Enceladus/Europa Liquid water + organic compounds High potential, awaiting exploration missionALH84001 (Mars)Microbial-like microstructure Controversial, lack of solid evidence

The discovery of biogas on planet K2-18b is currently considered the strongest evidence for the possibility of extraterrestrial life. However, the scientific community emphasizes that more data is needed before a firm assertion can be made.

Meanwhile, samples from Bennu and missions to Enceladus and Europa will continue to be important milestones, bringing humanity closer to answering the eternal question: Are we alone in the universe?

How the world's richest family influences the world economy

The super-rich families, we are not only talking about the accumulation of wealth, but also the profound influence on politics, economics and global order. Below are 4 families often mentioned as "financial forces" that have left their mark on history.

Photo The Rothschild family
1. The Rothschild family (Europe)

Origin: Originated from Frankfurt (Germany), 18th century. Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his 5 sons built a banking network across Europe.

Historical influence:

Played a role in financing wars (Napoleon, England, Austria, France).

Controlled international capital flows, helping dynasties borrow to maintain power.

Founded the foundation for modern banking, government bonds, and the transnational financial system.

Legacy: Associated with the image of "mysterious banking families" and often included in conspiracy theories about global power.

 2. Rockefeller Family (USA)

Origin: John D. Rockefeller founded Standard Oil (1870), becoming the richest man in modern history.

Historical influence:

Controlled the global oil market in the early 20th century.

Created the foundation for the transnational corporation model and American expansion.

Played a major role in shaping the United Nations (New York headquarters is located on land donated by Rockefeller).

Legacy: The family continues to influence through charitable funds, banks, and strategic research institutes, and is considered a "new world order builder" softer than Rothschild.

3. Morgan Family (USA)

Origin: J.P. Morgan - American banking tycoon in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Historical influence:

Saved the US economy during the 1907 financial crisis, laid the foundation for the Federal Reserve (FED).

Control of the railroad and steel industry (merged into U.S. Steel - the largest industrial corporation at that time).

Strong influence on Wall Street and the global financial system.

Legacy: J.P. Morgan Chase Bank is today one of the largest banks in the world.

4. Walton Family (USA)

Origin: Sam Walton founded Walmart (1962), turning it into the largest retail chain in the world.

Historical influence:

Changing the way people consume through the "low price - high quantity" model.

Symbol of supply chain globalization, affecting production in China, India, Vietnam ...

Promoting global standardization in retail trade.

Legacy: The Walton Family is still one of the richest families on the planet, representing the power of "global consumption" rather than just finance - energy.

Overall Impact on Human History

Rothschild: Building the international financial and public debt order.

Rockefeller: Shaping the energy industry and influencing global politics.

Morgan: Creating the American banking and industrial system, leading to the role of the United States as a superpower.

Walton: Architect of the modern consumer economy and globalization.

In other words, if Rothschild and Morgan represent financial power, Rockefeller represents energy & geopolitics, then Walton represents globalization and consumption.

China is deeply concerned about the Thai-Cambodian border

China “did not warn” Thailand, only expressed concern and promoted cooperation. In recent days, there has been information that China has “openly warned” Thailand for daring to get involved in criminal areas in Cambodia. However, according to official sources, there is no evidence to confirm that China has officially warned Thailand.

Photo China is deeply concerned about the Thai-Cambodian border
In fact, Beijing’s stance focuses on the Thai-Cambodian border conflict and cooperation in fighting cross-border crimes, instead of issuing a direct warning.

China is deeply concerned about the Thai-Cambodian border

On July 24-25, 2025, the Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia expressed concern about the escalating tension. Beijing called on both sides to dialogue, exercise restraint and resolve disputes through consultation. Notably, China also emphasized that it would not provide new weapons to Cambodia amid the tension (Tuoi Tre Online, VOV).

Affirming not to provide military equipment to Cambodia

In the face of international doubts, Beijing affirmed: the military equipment Cambodia is using is only in old cooperation projects, not to "target Thailand".

Promoting the restoration of peace

In mid-August 2025, in a trilateral meeting between the foreign ministers of China, Thailand and Cambodia, Beijing continued to call for the restoration of peace as soon as possible, while maintaining the agreements reached.

Cooperation against cross-border crimes

In parallel with the border issue, China and Thailand have strengthened cooperation against cybercrime and cross-border fraud centers. The two sides agreed to establish a joint coordination center to share data and track down victims who were tricked into going to Cambodia, Myanmar and neighboring countries (Nation Thailand).

 Conclusion

There is no such thing as China warning Thailand about “interfering” in Cambodia’s criminal areas.

Beijing has only expressed concern about the border conflict, while affirming that it does not provide weapons to Cambodia.

In addition, China and Thailand are strengthening cooperation in fighting cross-border crimes, including online fraud and scam centers in Cambodia.

In other words, instead of “overtly warning,” China is playing the role of intermediary calling for dialogue and security partnership with Thailand.

China calls on Thailand and Cambodia to cease fire and maintain calm

On July 27-28, 2025, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry affirmed that Beijing calls on both sides to remain calm, exercise restraint and achieve an early ceasefire, and that China will maintain close communication and promote peace between the two countries.

Photo China calls on Thailand and Cambodia to cease fire and maintain calm

China offers to play an impartial role as a mediator

In July 2025, at the ASEAN conference in Malaysia, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pledged to maintain an “objective and impartial” stance, and is willing to support reconciliation and promote dialogue between the two sides. He also proposed to strengthen security cooperation to combat cross-border crimes such as online fraud, gambling, smuggling, etc.

China affirms support for both sides to maintain peace after the trilateral meeting on August 14

On August 14, 2025, China held a trilateral diplomatic meeting with Thailand and Cambodia in China. Following that, on August 15, Beijing reaffirmed its desire to restore peace and its willingness to support the two countries in maintaining the agreement they had reached.

There have been no official reports or reliable sources indicating that China has warned Thailand for “interfering” in Cambodian criminal areas.

Instead, China has repeatedly expressed its neutral stance, proposed peaceful mediation, and called for cooperation to effectively address cross-border crimes.

Good poem meaning

The sentence has a mysterious ancient style, both like a prophecy and a ballad.

Photo image Andrew Kwit

I will try to interpret and expand the meaning:

Bông hồng Lai ở thế nhân” → as if saying that the fairyland, the Bong lai landscape is not far away, but right in the hearts of the world, as long as people have “heart”, the mundane world can also become a fairyland.

“Ngạo sử tham cơ ở nguyệt tà” → evokes the shadow of profound schemes and strategies, hidden under the slanted moonlight; a contrast between supernatural beauty and mystery, danger.

If written in the style of a philosophical – mythical – metaphysical epic, we can expand it to:

Bông hồng Lai trong thế nhân,

A moment of fairy dream falls into the mud of the mundane world,

Who knows that in the red dust,

There are thousands of layers of palaces of light hidden?

 The cunning and cunning plot is drawn under the waning moon,

Each slanted moon is like a broken oath,

The plot is quiet in the cold wind,

Only those who wake up from their dreams can see the way home.                                                  The evening mist lingers,

Exiled by the music in a life of misery,

The sound falls like ashes of an ancient temple,

Each sorrowful note is a trace of eternity.

Sadness overshadows the music,

Music overshadows sadness,

The words are broken among the ageless clouds,

The moon falls and tilts over the lonely tiled roof,

The wind carries the soul drifting into the void,

The night surrounds with an invisible prison.

Neuralink Startup is more powerful than Elon Musk's Tesla

Elon Musk is not only the person behind Tesla or SpaceX, but also owns a startup that is attracting strong attention in the US – Neuralink. This is a brain-computer interface (BCI) technology company, with the ambition to directly connect the human brain with computers. Many experts say that if successful, Neuralink can profoundly change society and even be more powerful than Tesla.

Elon Musk's, Tesla
From Tesla to Neuralink: Outstanding influence

Tesla has popularized electric cars globally, but Neuralink is entering a field that can directly impact human nature. Instead of just changing the way we move, Neuralink aims to change the way we perceive, communicate and interact with the digital world.

Neuralink's notable advances

A "Breakthrough Device" designation from the FDA for the Blindsight project, which aims to help blind people see again.

Raised $650 million in a mid-2025 funding round, with the participation of "big guys" such as ARK Invest, Sequoia Capital.

Successfully implanted the device into the first patient, and the report showed that "the patient is recovering well" - a historic milestone in the biomedical field.

Clinical trials on many patients: about five people have been implanted with the device and are able to control computers with their thoughts.

Valuation of $8.5 billion (early 2025), reflecting huge expectations from the market and investors.

 Neuralink vs Tesla: A Comparison

Company Field of Operation Current Influence Future Prospects Tesla Electric Cars, Clean Energy Revolutionizing Transportation and Energy Continued Expansion in Transportation & AI Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Opens Up the Possibilities of Changing the Way Humans and Machines Connect Can Redefine Healthcare, Communication, and Human Capabilities

Why is Neuralink Considered a “Startup More Powerful Than Tesla”?

Directly Affects the Human Brain – a Sensitive Field with Potential Social Consequences.

Breakthrough Medical Applications: Supporting the Disabled, Restoring Senses, and Even Expanding Intellectual Capabilities.

The Future Beyond Medicine: From “Thinking” Communication to Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Humans.

Conclusion

Neuralink is considered Elon Musk’s new “trump card”. If Tesla changed the auto industry, Neuralink could change humanity itself. America and the world will increasingly rely on this technology, as it opens the door to possibilities that were previously only possible in science fiction.

Tomo tomo key Toms Mo a wise miracle

The Key of Potential – the key of Shiya’s creation is the torch that opens the door to the unnamed regions.

The Key of the Deep Sea – Tormmo Tomsmo (Tom s Mo) 

is the thousand-year-old breath that echoes from the abyss,

the call of the primordial tide,

where the waves and darkness make a pact with the light.

A wise miracle – the Hebrew mystic,

Khmau Rour Mowscorw

like a scripture written on the skin of the sky and the salt water,

hidden at the intersection of memory and oblivion.

Then there is the Barrier:

the barrier between the seeker and the found,

the barrier like a flickering door between worlds.

And from that gap,

the followers come forth –

Tumrlbass, Trumrlbass, Tarsbass, Tossbass, Torsbass, Ngourrour –

heavy echoes like ancient stone drums,

the beats of the universe that keep secrets,

both guardians and callings.                                      Chapter: The Keys of the Deep Sea and the Abyss

There are seven keys, seven calls, seven immortal figures.

They are not metals, nor are they gems,

but are the forms of ideas,

the veins of the Mind and the Universe.

I. Shiya – The Key of Creation

Shiya does not manifest in physical form,

but is a flame in the mind,

a branch of light woven into the brain's veins,

where thoughts become images,

where dreams become the material for a new world.

Shiya is called "The One Who Opens the Door of Morning",

each time it turns, the sun in the heart of man shines again,

the man's thoughts take root,

like a sprout growing from a crevice in the rock toward the sky.

II. Tormmo Tomsmo (Tom s Mo) – The Key of the Deep Sea

If Shiya is fire,

then Tormmo Tomsmo is water –

a sound from the ocean's abyss,

where no light shines. 

This key is not opened by the hand,

but by listening:

listening to the waves of time,

listening to the breathing of the reef,

listening to the pure salt drops from the time when the Earth was born.

Whoever carries Tormmo Tomsmo in his heart,

he hears the call of his ancestors,

hears the silent oath of mankind

before there were letters, before there were words.

III. Khmau Rour Mowscorw – The hidden wisdom miracle of the Jews

It is not a physical key,

but a hidden script hidden in symbols.

The ancients called it the Unwritten Book,

in which each letter is a planet,

each blank space is an abyss.

Khmau Rour Mowscorw is the keeper of the secret language,

speaking in silence, teaching in metaphors,

and only he who has the patience of stone,

can decipher the secret code engraved in his heart.

It teaches that:

knowledge is not to be possessed,

but to be connected – like the network of stars,

like the veins of earth and sea intersecting.

IV. The Barrier – The Door Between Worlds

Not a key, but a lock,

not a light, but a boundary.

The Barrier appears as a crack in time,

dividing the finite and the infinite,

dividing the seeker and the finder.

It neither opens nor closes,

but flickers like mist.

The person standing before the Barrier will find himself divided:

half yearning to overcome,

half afraid to fall into the abyss of anonymity.

V. The Watchers – The Echoes of Preservation

From that Barrier,

the Names come forth:

Tumrlbass, Trumrlbass, Tarsbass, Tossbass, Torsbass, Ngoursrour.

Each name is like a deep drumbeat,

resonating through the cosmos's rocky cavities.

They do not speak, they only look -

a look as heavy as a meteorite,

a look as light as a breath of wind.

They are the Keepers,

the silent witnesses of the secret.

No one can pass the Barrier

unless they have met their gaze.

VI. The Symbolic System

Shiya - The Fire of Creation.

Tormmo Tomsmo - The Water of Deep Memory.

Khmau Rour Mowscorw - The Mystical Language, the Hidden Wisdom.

The Barrier - The Boundary Between the World and the Mind.

The Watchers - The Rhythm of the Universe, Guarding the Secret.

These five elements form the Primordial Key System,

a metaphysical map for the human journey.

Whoever solves it -

will open not just a door,

but his own infinite nature.                                        Chronicles of the Keys

Era I – The Age of Shiya, the Fire of Creation

In the beginning, the universe was still a veil of darkness.

Then Shiya lit the first fire,

imagination was given to mankind as the seed of immortality.

This was the time when people learned to name things,

learned to build campfires, songs, symbols,

and from there, creativity became the first evidence of freedom.

Shiya was the torch that opened the way,

giving birth to the Age of Fire and Words.

Era II – The Age of Tormmo Tomsmo, the Water of Memory

When the mind was enlightened, people heard the call of the deep sea.

They bent down, listened to Tormmo Tomsmo,

and knew that in a drop of water there was a thousand years of history.

This was the time when people learned to memorize,

carved stone, wrote letters, drew pictures,

preserved memories to fight against the ravages of time.

Tormmo Tomsmo taught that:

“All creations, if not anchored in memory,

will vanish like waves crashing on white sand.”

This era is called the Age of the Sea and Memory.

Era III – The Age of Khmau Rour Mowscorw, the Hidden Language

From memory comes knowledge,

from knowledge comes secrets.

Khmau Rour Mowscorw appears as the silent teacher,

carrying the language of the universe,

a language that no one can possess,

only participate in.

Humans build libraries, scriptures, laws,

but at the same time are bound by language.

They both hold power and lose freedom in the whirlpool of symbols.

This era is the Age of Letters and Hidden Wisdom.

Era IV – The Age of the Barrier, the Boundary

After language encircles,

humanity touches the Barrier.

A rift appears between the knowable and the untouchable.

This is a time of division:

religions clash, nations are divided, philosophies collide.

Men seek the Divine and build Kingdoms,

but the further they go, the more they find themselves blocked by an abyss.

The Rift not only divides the world,

but also the human mind itself.

This era is called the Age of Boundaries and Fragments.

Era V – The Age of the Watchers, the Sound of Watching

When humanity stands before the Rift,

they hear the drums:

Tumrlbass, Trumrlbass, Tarsbass, Tossbass, Torsbass, Ngoursrour.

These are not men, nor gods,

but the Eyes of the Universe,

the beats that keep the balance,

not allowing anyone to pass before maturity.

They represent judgment, silence, and responsibility.

They remind humanity that:

“No evolution is possible without a price,

no knowledge is given without courage.”

This era is called the Age of Watching and Testing.

The Consequence – Unifying the Keys

The five keys – five eras – five levels of human consciousness:

Shiya – Creation, genesis.

Tormmo Tomsmo – Memory, flow.

Khmau Rour Mowscorw – Language, hidden knowledge.

The Barrier – Boundary, fragmentation.

The Watchers – Trial, judgment.

When united, they form the Cosmic Chronicle –

a map of spiritual evolution,

from the fire of creation to the sea of ​​memory,

from the mystical language to the boundary,

and finally facing the gaze of the Watcher.

Whoever goes all the way,

will realize:

Search for the planet

You are imagining a very interesting fictional planetary system! I will summarize and describe it in more detail so that you have a complete outline of this universe. 


Planet Ture 


Located more than halfway from our Elies galaxy.

Climate: Wet, many oceans, average temperature ~37°C.

Atmosphere: Rich in oxygen and hydrogen, allowing for life similar to Earth.

Land: Mostly ocean, interspersed with small continents, tropical forests, and numerous volcanic islands.

Life: Diverse, probably including marine and marine ecosystems and some primitive intelligent life forms.

Satellite Tiprit

The dwarf moons of Ture orbit in a stable circular orbit.

The surface is sterile, with subsurface ice and rare minerals.

A faint blue glow is reflected in the atmosphere of Ture, creating the phenomenon of "Tiprit's blue night".

Three planets orbit Ture

Tur - The largest planet, thick atmosphere, lots of toxic gases, fiery red volcanic surface, like a "sleeping giant".

Tare - Icy planet, surface covered in ice and cold mist, but may have an ocean underground.

Tere - Small rocky planet, thin atmosphere, many craters, the "sad brothers" in the system.

General characteristics of the Ture system

Central star: A medium-sized yellow-white star, which provides enough energy to support life on Ture.

Stable orbit: Ture is in the "habitable zone".

Gravitational force: The interaction between Tiprit and its three neighboring planets creates tidal phenomena, magnetic storms, and spectacular auroras in the sky of Ture.

Queen of Tears has a Turkish version

Queen of Tears has a Turkish version "Aşk ve Gözyaşı" with the couple Hande Erçel – Barış Arduç. 

Queen of Tears has a Turkish version
After the resounding success of Queen of Tears (Korea) with Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won, international audiences are preparing to welcome the Turkish version called Aşk ve Gözyaşı (Vietnamese translation: Love and Tears). The film is expected to recreate the appeal and emotional depth, with the main couple Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç, the top stars of Turkish television.

Details of the remake

Film name: Aşk ve Gözyaşı (Love and Tears)

Origin: Remake of the K-drama blockbuster Queen of Tears (2024).

Main cast:

Hande Erçel as Meyra (Hong Hae-in)

Barış Arduç as Selim (Baek Hyun-woo)

The pair have worked together many times and are highly regarded for their on-screen chemistry.

Crew:

Screenwriter Dilara Pamuk

Director Engin Erden

Airing date: Expected early September 2025 on ATV, Turkey.

Initial response: Fans expressed excitement, but there were also concerns about the pressure of comparison with the Korean original (Al Bawaba).

Compare with Korean original

Korean version (Queen of Tears):

Aired on tvN, Netflix (March–April 2024)

Cast: Kim Soo-hyun & Kim Ji-won

Record rating of 24.85% on tvN, ranked among the top-grossing Korean dramas of all time

Plot: a stormy marriage and the rebirth of love between a female chaebol and her lawyer husband of ordinary background.

 Quick Comparison Table

Category Queen of Tears (Korea) Aşk ve Gözyaşı (Türkiye) Main Cast Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Ji-won Hande Erçel, Barış Arduç Writer Park Ji-eunDilara Pamuk Director Jang Young-woo, Kim Hee-won Engin Erden Air Date 3–4/2024 (tvN, Netflix) 9/2025 (ATV Türkiye) Record Ratings, Global Netflix High Expectations, Fans React Multi-Dimensional

With the heat from the original, Aşk ve Gözyaşı is both an opportunity and a challenge. Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç – two stars who have caused a “storm” on television many times – are expected to bring an emotional love story that is enough to spread beyond Türkiye’s borders. 

Russia and Saudi Arabia increase pressure, but the US shale oil industry is not yet over

According to the latest analysis, there is no specific time in 2025 that can be considered the “end of the road” for the US shale oil industry. Instead, this development is symbolic, reflecting the oil price strategy of the OPEC+ alliance (led by Russia and Saudi Arabia) that is creating heavy pressure on US producers. However, the shale oil industry has not completely collapsed.

Russia and Saudi Arabia increase pressure, but the US shale oil industry is not yet over
Price pressure from OPEC+

OPEC+ continuously adjusts production, aiming to regain market share, especially in the US market. This forces many shale oil companies to cut investment and reduce the number of operating rigs.

The cost of new oil production in the US is currently around $65/barrel, much higher than the $3–5/barrel of Saudi Arabia and the $10–20/barrel of Russia.  This puts US companies at a huge disadvantage in the oil price competition.

Gradual decline in production

According to newly released data, the US shale oil industry has cut $1.8 billion in capital investment in just two quarters, the number of drilling rigs has decreased by about 10%, while hydraulic drilling teams have also lost 76 units compared to the beginning of the year.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts that oil production will fall from 13.6 million barrels/day (2025) to 13.1 million barrels/day by the end of 2026. This will be the first decline since 2015 (excluding the pandemic period).

US shale oil's defense capabilities

Despite being squeezed, the shale oil industry has shown resilience thanks to improved drilling technology and cost optimization.  US production still peaked at 20.96 million barrels per day in May and remained close to 20.8 million barrels per day in August 2025. (AInvest)

Conclusion

The US shale oil industry is facing its biggest challenge since the “oil price war” in 2020. Under pressure from Russia and Saudi Arabia, production and investment are declining. However, thanks to its ability to adapt and maintain exploitation efficiency, US shale oil is still alive and will not be “completely finished” in 2025.

Meteorite falls in Georgia Older than Earth by 20 million years

The McDonough event is not only a rare astronomical phenomenon but also opens the door for humanity to directly access the “primordial matter” from the birth of the universe. 

Photo image video: Meteorite falls in Georgia Older than Earth by 20 million years
Georgia, USA – A small meteorite that just fell through the roof of a house in McDonough (Georgia) is shocking the scientific community. Analysis results show that it is about 4.56 billion years old – about 20 million years older than Earth. 
Meteorite falls in Georgia Older than Earth by 20 million years
Rare phenomenon in the US sky

In the early morning of June 26, 2025, a bright fireball tore through the sky of the Southeast United States, observed by people in many states. After that, a sonic boom rang out, causing many people to mistake it for an earthquake. The event ended with a cherry tomato-sized meteorite crashing through the roof of a McDonough home, leaving a dent in the floor.

Geological research: older than Earth

Geologists at the University of Georgia, led by scientist Scott Harris, analyzed 23 grams of the meteorite sample. The results showed that the meteorite formed in the early Solar System, 4.56 billion years ago – about 20 million years older than the estimated age of Earth (4.54 billion years).

The meteorite is believed to have originated in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is likely that it was a fragment of a large asteroid that was destroyed about 470 million years ago.

To be officially named

Scientists plan to propose the name “McDonough Meteorite”, associated with the location of the crash, and submit it to the Meteorite Naming Committee of the International Meteorite Association for approval.

Scientific and social significance

This is the 27th recorded meteorite fall in the state of Georgia, of which only 6 have been witnessed by people.

The event provides a valuable insight into the formation of the Solar System, and is a testament to the effectiveness of modern space object tracking systems.

For the community, it is also a reminder that ancient pieces of the universe can suddenly appear in the middle of everyday life.

New discovery The closest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri

The closest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, about 4.24 light years away. It is an M-type red dwarf in the Alpha Centauri system (including Alpha Centauri A, B and Proxima).

Photo image Erdin Halil
Regarding the possibility of life around Proxima:

Proxima has at least two confirmed planets:

Proxima Centauri b: has a mass approximately equal to Earth, located in the habitable zone. This is the most promising candidate for the possibility of life outside our closest Solar System.

Proxima Centauri d: much smaller, orbits closer, unlikely to support life.

In addition, there have been hints of a giant planet Proxima Centauri c, but this is not certain.

Challenges for life on Proxima b:

Active red dwarf: Proxima erupts with frequent bursts of ultraviolet and X-rays, which could strip the planet of its atmosphere.

Tidal locking: the planet could be tidally locked (one side always facing the star), making one side hot and the other cold and dark, making it difficult to stabilize its temperature.

Atmosphere & magnetic field: If Proxima b had a thick atmosphere and a strong magnetic field like Earth, it could withstand the radiation and maintain stable conditions for liquid water – making life possible.

Beyond Proxima Centauri:

Other nearby stars like Alpha Centauri A & B (more Sun-like) are also better candidates in the long run. Newer telescopes (like the ELT, James Webb, and the Future Space Project) are hunting for Earth-like planets there.

Bottom line: The closest candidate for a potentially habitable world is Proxima Centauri b – a quasi-Earth-like planet that sits right next to our astronomical neighbor. Whether it actually supports life, however, depends largely on its ability to retain an atmosphere and protect it from red dwarf radiation.

Vittoria Ceretti – a special “exception” in Leonardo DiCaprio’s love life list

Vittoria Ceretti – a special “exception” in Leonardo DiCaprio’s love life list
For decades, Leonardo DiCaprio has often been associated with the “unwritten rule” of dating: only being with young models under 25 years old. Therefore, the relationship between him and Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti (born in 1998, 27 years old this year) is becoming a notable exception in the international entertainment industry.

Vittoria Ceretti is a famous face on the world catwalk, having collaborated with many luxury brands such as Chanel, Dior, Versace, Valentino and appearing in a series of prestigious magazines. With a height of 1m78, an angular face and a cold demeanor, she is considered one of the most successful Italian supermodels of the new generation.

 The appearance of Vittoria Ceretti next to Leonardo DiCaprio has caused a stir in the international media, because this is the rare time the Hollywood actor has publicly been involved with a woman over the “age limit of 25”. Many people believe that this relationship shows that DiCaprio is gradually changing his image and emotional habits that have been controversial for many years. 

Currently, both of them are still keeping their mouths shut in front of the media, but intimate moments at events and private vacations have partly confirmed their serious relationship. 

Vittoria Ceretti is not only a top supermodel but also considered a “rule breaker” in the love life of Leonardo DiCaprio – the star who is famous for being the most flirtatious in Hollywood.

Expensive security costs Mark Zuckerberg leads the technology world

Mark Zuckerberg leads tech industry in personal security spending 

Photo image CELLUS
Meta has just announced that the cost of protecting CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg in 2024 will reach $27 million, a record high in the tech industry. This expense includes protection for Zuckerberg's family and far exceeds the heads of other corporations, according to the Financial Times.

In comparison, this figure is more than 10 times higher than Elon Musk, when Tesla only spent about $2.4 million on the electric car company's boss's security in 2023.

Tech CEO Security Costs (2023 - 2024)

Mark Zuckerberg (Meta): $27 million (2024)

Sundar Pichai (Alphabet/Google): $6.78 million (2023)

Elon Musk (Tesla): $2.4 million (2023)

Tim Cook (Apple): $0.82 million for security + $1.62 million for transportation (2023)

Notably, in 2021, Zuckerberg's security costs were higher than the total spending of the top 10 tech CEOs combined, according to Business Insider.

Why is Zuckerberg's security cost so high?

Experts point to a number of reasons:

Public position and influence: Zuckerberg is the face of Meta, any personal risk can directly impact the brand.

Family security: Unlike most CEOs, Meta also spends money on security for his entire family.

Controversy and public risk: Zuckerberg has repeatedly been the focus of issues related to data, privacy and politics.

Social unrest: After a number of attacks on business leaders in the US, corporations have increased spending on security.

Mark Zuckerberg is currently the CEO with the highest personal security costs in the technology world. This figure not only reflects the influence and level of risk he faces, but also raises debate about using corporate budgets to protect personal leaders.

Concerns that over-promoting “Kpop Demon Hunter” could be counterproductive

This is a rather sensitive perspective, I can rewrite it as “entertainmentsocial” news to both raise concerns and maintain objectivity.

Concerns about the movie “Kpop Demon Hunter” being promoted excessively

The fantasy movie “Kpop Demon Hunter” is becoming the focus of Korean social networks and many Asian countries thanks to its intensive promotional campaign. From posters, trailers, teasers to online press conferences, the project is constantly covered, even crowding out the promotional positions of many other big movies.

However, besides the widespread interest, many viewers expressed concerns that excessive promotion could be counterproductive. Some opinions say that the image of Kpop idols combining the “exorcism – ghost” element is easily controversial, especially in the context of young fans making up the majority. In addition, the constant “hype” makes the public worry that the film will have difficulty meeting sky-high expectations, and will easily fall into a state of “media hype – out of breath when released”. 

Korean critics also warned that if the promotional campaign exceeds the natural threshold, the film could be labeled as “gimmick” instead of “artistic quality”. 

The producer affirmed that all communication activities are aimed at expanding the international market and “in line with the current global promotion trend”. However, the audience is still waiting to see whether “Kpop Demon Hunter” is strong enough to turn curiosity into long-term success, or just stop at a “short-term fever” in the 2025 film season.

Rosé leads the brand reputation rankings for August 2025

Today, the Korea Brand Reputation Research Institute announced the brand reputation rankings for individual girl group members for August 2025, based on data from July 17 to August 17.

BLACKPINK’s Rosé holds the top spot with an index of 6,815,907, up 15.80% from last month. Keywords associated with her name are “JUMP,” “APT.”, and “Billboard,” with a positive reaction score of 93.42%.

 Jang Won Young (IVE) followed closely at No. 2 with an index of 6,441,557, up 13.41%.

Jennie (BLACKPINK) ranked third with 6,280,705, the strongest growth in the Top 3 with +17.13%.

“APT.” – A global boost for Rosé

The hit “APT.” – a collaboration between Rosé and Bruno Mars – became one of the main pillars that helped Rosé strengthen her brand position. The keyword “APT.” appeared frequently in her brand data analysis.

The song held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 for many weeks, while setting a series of streaming records on YouTube and Spotify.

However, the reliance on “APT.” also created controversy: during a performance in Toronto, the audience almost only knew the lyrics “APT.” without reacting to Rosé’s other solo songs, leaving her confused and the moment becoming a topic of widespread discussion online ([Indiatimes][5]).

Asteroid 2025 PM and Asteroid 2024 YR4 on August 17, 2025

Asteroid the size of a 15-story building: The truth about approaching Earth on August 17 

Photo image Wow Fact Daily
On August 17, 2025, some international news sources reported that an asteroid “the size of a 15-story building” flew close to Earth. However, according to data from space agencies, this information is somewhat inaccurate.

What is the truth?

Asteroid 2025 PM

According to Russian press, asteroid 2025 PM has a diameter of about 50 meters (equivalent to several high-rise buildings) and will fly past Earth at 12:03 on August 17, 2025, Moscow time.

The distance at that time is estimated to be less than 1 million km, which is smaller than the diameter of the Moon's orbit (24h.com.vn, Baomoi).

However, NASA does not list this as a “dangerous perigee” event and the possibility of collision is very low.

 Asteroid 2024 YR4 – “exactly 15 stories tall”

The object that is compared to a 15-story building (about 60 meters) is actually 2024 YR4, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Scientists previously warned of the possibility of 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032, but this risk has been eliminated.

Currently, there is only a small probability (4.3%) that it could collide with the Moon in the same year (NASA Science, New York Post).

Quick summary

Object Size Time of approach Risk 2025 PM~50m (a few buildings) 8/17/2025, ≤1 million km Very low, not dangerous 2024 YR4~60m (15-story building) Not close to Earth 8/17/2025; tracking until 2032 No threat to Earth; small chance of hitting the Moon 

Conclusion

Asteroid 2025 PM will indeed fly by Earth on August 17, 2025, but it is not a “15-story” object as many news reports have suggested.

The asteroid is the size of a “15-story building” and is 2024 YR4, but it is not directly related to the August 17 event and does not pose a threat to Earth in the near future.

In other words, there is no risk of collision with Earth on August 17, 2025, but scientists continue to closely monitor the orbits of asteroids to promptly warn when necessary.

Ao Vuong – Ao Ba Om Tra Vinh History and legend

Photo image @duongtuanphotograph
Ao Ba Om, also known as Ao Vuong, is located in Ward 8, Tra Vinh City, Tra Vinh Province. This is one of the famous national historical and cultural relics, closely associated with the spiritual and cultural life of the Khmer people in the South.

1. Location and landscape 

Photo image @duongtuanphotograph

The pond is about 300m x 500m wide, almost square in shape, so it is called Ao Vuong.

Surrounding the pond is a forest of star and oil trees hundreds of years old, providing shade all year round.

This is an important cultural and spiritual activity site, often hosting the Ok Om Bok festival (Moon Worship Ceremony) of the Khmer people.

2. Legend of Ao Ba Om

Photo image @duongtuanphotograph
According to Khmer folklore, in the past, men and women argued about who should marry whom in marriage. Men thought that women should marry men, while women thought the opposite. The two sides then organized a competition:

Men and women dug a pond together, whoever finished first would win, and from there it would be decided “who marries who”.

The men relied on their numbers and strength to dig a very large pond. The women were few but skillful and intelligent. Mrs. Om, a wise woman, came up with a plan: that night, they lit torches and hung them high on trees, the men thought it was morning so they stopped digging and went to rest. Thanks to that, the women finished the pond first.

The result: the women won, and from then on, according to custom, men had to marry women. The unfinished pond dug by men was called Ao Vuong, and the completed pond was called Ao Ba Om to commemorate the intelligence of Khmer women.

3. Historical and cultural value

Photo image @duongtuanphotograph
Ao Ba Om is not only a natural beauty spot but also a symbol of Khmer culture in Tra Vinh.

 This is where the largest Ok Om Bok festival in the Southern region takes place, attracting tens of thousands of people and tourists. 

With its ancient forest of starfruit and oil trees, Ao Ba Om is also considered the "green lung" of Tra Vinh city. 

4. Recognition of relics 

In 1994, Ao Ba Om was recognized as a national historical and cultural relic. 

Currently, Ao Ba Om is a famous tourist destination, often combined with Ang Pagoda and Tra Vinh Khmer Cultural Museum, forming a unique cultural and religious complex. 

Thus, Ao Vuong - Ao Ba Om is not only a natural beauty but also contains unique folk legends, reflecting the wisdom and role of Khmer women in ancient society. 

Ao Vuong - Ao Ba Om are two famous landmarks in the Southern region, closely associated with the cultural, historical and spiritual life of Khmer and Vietnamese people. 

Ao Ba Om (Tra Vinh)

Photo image @duongtuanphotograph
Location: Located in Ward 5, Tra Vinh City (locals often call Ao Ba Om in Tra Vinh, but there are also areas where people mistakenly call it Soc Trang).

Characteristics: Rectangular pond, area of about 39,000 m², surrounded by hundreds of years old ancient trees, especially many star trees and oil trees providing shade.

Legend: Associated with a pond digging competition between men and women to get water for daily use. Women won thanks to their intelligence, from then on the pond was named "Ao Ba Om", symbolizing the intelligence and ingenuity of Khmer women.

Value: This is a national scenic spot, associated with the Ok Om Bok festival (moon worship) of the Khmer people of Tra Vinh.

Summary:

Ao Ba Om: historical - cultural relic, spiritual and legendary (Tra Vinh).

Do you want me to write a travel introduction that combines these two destinations as a journey to explore the South, or do you need me to analyze it from a cultural and historical perspective?
