Her husband, Hong Quan, used to drive the family to and from holiday celebrations, so he refrained from getting too inebriated at Tet gatherings. The 48-year-old tried to limit his drinking as much as possible in the days leading up to Tet because traffic police were setting up alcohol breathalyzer checkpoints on every street corner. However, due to the nature of his work in the shipping sector, he was required to attend numerous business meetings, social events, and parties around Tet . So, he took taxis or asked friends and acquaintances to drive him home after being "forced to drink."

While Industry 4.0 is becoming a hot topic in recent years, it has stood as a premise for insurance businesses in Vietnam to quickly join the digital transformation race. That race continues with a new trend – smart digital transformation, driven by great development and advances of technology. Specifically, the application of AI is no longer a distant prospect perhaps found in a sci-fi movie, but is now becoming popular in everyday life and in the insurance field. AI technology with deep learning ability, wide artificial neural network and ability to process a large amount of data, can make more accurate predictions than human ability. However, the development of AI applications among insurance businesses is still facing barriers because of the cumbersome traditional process as well as the need for a team of qualified technology experts in this field. To promote and quicken the application of AI in the insurance sector, experts said insurance companies should work … [Read more...] about AI in insurance – The inevitable trend in digital transformation

Buffeted by political and legal headwinds, the 76-year-old Republican addressed a few hundred supporters at an intimate rally in South Carolina's capital Columbia after speaking to grassroots activists in Salem, New Hampshire. "The 2024 election is our one shot to save our country and we need a leader who's ready to do that on day one," Trump said from a podium beneath the Statehouse rotunda, flanked by American flags and some of his most loyal political allies. The events were seen as a chance to revitalize a stuttering campaign amid criticism over Trump's failure to make any public appearances since he announced his latest run in November. But there was no discernible shift in his messaging as he launched into his debunked claims of a stolen 2020 election and reprised his litany of disparaging nicknames for his political rivals. He touched on favorite culture war talking points, railing against critical race theory that he said was being taught in the military as well as … [Read more...] about Trump warns 2024 election ‘our one shot’ to save America

Italy's most wanted mafia boss, Matteo Messina Denaro, was arrested by armed police at a private hospital in Sicily on Monday, where the man who has been on the run since 1993 was being treated for cancer. Nicknamed "Diabolik" and "'U Siccu" (The Skinny One), Messina Denaro had been sentenced in absentia to a life term for his role in the 1992 murders of anti-mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, crimes that shocked the nation and sparked a crackdown on Cosa Nostra. Messina Denaro, 60, was led away from Palermo's "La Maddalena" hospital by two uniformed carabinieri police and bundled into a waiting black minivan. He was wearing a brown fur-lined jacket, glasses and a brown and white woolly hat. Judicial sources said he was being treated for cancer and had an operation last year, followed by a series of appointments under a false name.

As the Year of the Tiger makes its final roars, and we welcome the Year of the Cat, it is a good time to look back at a year that brought us back to humanity and recount the little things that made us feel human again. In 2020 and 2021, Ho Chi Minh City, like most places around the world, was a difficult place to be. Most of us were locked in our homes or apartments for up to six months, and life was very challenging for everyone. COVID-19 brought Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam to a standstill, and the memories of this time are etched in our memory forever. But 2022 saw the Year of the Tiger enter into our lives with a roar. The pandemic was put under control and the numbers of sick and dying people were rapidly falling. It was around this time that most people in Ho Chi Minh City began getting second and third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and getting back to school and work. Ironically, my year began in the hospital. For me, COVID-19 and social distancing had inflicted a … [Read more...] about The Year of the Tiger roared like no other
