“Nhà ngọt Alabama” là bài hát của ban nhạc rock Mỹ Lynyrd Skynyrd xuất hiện lần đầu vào năm 1974, được viết như lời phản hồi cho các bài hát “Southern Man” và “Alabama” của ca sĩ Canada Neil Young về nạn phân biệt chủng tộc và chế độ nô lệ ở miền Nam nước Mỹ.
Alabama là tiểu bang miền Nam nước Mỹ, nghèo và có rất nhiều người da đen. Tuy nhiên, đối với ban nhạc Lynyrd Skynyrd thì đó là “nhà ngọt” và là “nơi bầu trời rất xanh”. Continue reading Nhà ngọt Alabama – Sweet home Alabama→
Most people think that you learn by listening to what your teacher says, understand it, and keep it in your memory. Probably this way of learning is true to almost everything we learn, but that is only the outward appearance of learning. Inside, in our head and our heart, true learning is a process of thinking, of questioning, of reflecting on what we see, hear, smell and touch outside.
Say, the first time you see a racoon, you immediately have a series of questions: What animal is this? What do they call it? Where is it from? Where is its normal habitat? What does it do? What does it eat? Is it gentle or mean? Will it jump up and attack me if I get close? Does it carry diseases that it may pass on to human?… Continue reading Learning→

Having worked for a large foreign technology corporation in Hanoi for more than five years, data analysis expert Le Thai Ha was shocked to get suddenly fired recently.
“Because the tech market has fluctuated a lot, our corporation officially announced a mass layoff, mostly of senior positions, including mine,” she said.
Despite being aware of the difficulties of the market in general, and of the corporation in particular, its decision to cut back was still a big surprise to Ha.

For weeks Hanoian Bùi Trang Dung was unable to decide where to take her family for vacation last summer.
“This place is beautiful in the summer, that place has many delicious foods and the other one is cheaper.” These were the words that constantly ran in the 42-year-old’s mind.
She then came across a piece of information about a music show by a famous singer she loved in Mù Cang Chải in the northern province of Yên Bái.
The holiday destination instantly chose itself: It was to be Mù Cang Chải.
Caretaker Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati speaks on the phone ahead of an interview.
NOVEMBER 9, 2023, 4:30 PM
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has a plan for peace in Gaza and Israel. If it has any hope of becoming reality, he’ll need Western backers. Thus far, he doesn’t have any.
It’s time for Western leaders to step up.
As the death toll in Gaza grows, now over 10,000, Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister has been trying to win allies for his three-step peace plan. First, Mikati proposes, would come a five-day pause in hostilities, during which Hamas would release some of its Israeli hostages and Israel would open its border crossings to more humanitarian aid. If the peace can hold for those 120 hours, negotiations would begin for the release of the remaining hostages in exchange for prisoners held by Israel. As that happens, work on an international summit for a permanent two-state solution would begin.
If it can get off the ground, Mikati’s proposal would channel the worst violence Israelis and Palestinians have seen in decades into the most serious peace effort since the collapse of the Oslo Accords.
