Students at 40 secondary schools in Ho Chi Minh City have been learning about wildlife preservation through extracurricular classes offered in temporary tents set up on their campuses. Wild animals (For illustration only) Photo: wildlifematerials The two-day classes began last year and end this month in districts 1, 3, Binh Thanh and Phu Nhuan. In the tents, students watched films about wildlife, heard sounds produced by rare animals, played games, and took part in a touching exhibition of animal parts that had been saved by rangers. "The purpose of the exhibition tent is to equip students with knowledge about wildlife conservation," said Do Thi Thanh Huyen, conservation education manager at the HCM City-based Wildlife at Risk (WAR) organisation. "The most important message from the tent is that consumers of wild animal products are the main cause of the extinction of many species," she said, adding that the work will help kids react properly to trafficking of wild animals and animals. WAR initiated the idea and worked with the city's Education and Training Department and the Department of Forest Rangers. The districts where the tents were set up contain the largest number of consumers of wild animal products in the city, according to a WAR survey. In Vietnam , in addition to the need for fur and leather of animals for products, animals are also used for alcoholic drinks. Foetuses or the bodies of some wild animal species are soaked to make an alcoholic beverage believed to be good for health. In addition, the blood or testicles of wild animals mixed with alcoholic beverages are used as sexual tonics. Wild animal meat is also consumed during parties as well. WAR believes that children can pass on the message about wildlife conservation to their parents, as they will feel as if they lost face. For example, children's awareness about traffic regulations have changed their parents' habit of ignoring red lights when traffic police are absent. Many of the children attending the classes said they have no idea that eating wild animal meat is harmful to the preservation of the species. Some of them promised to call the WAR hotline about wild animal trafficking. The hotline was set up by WAR in collaboration with the Department of Forest Rangers in an aim to fine traffickers and seize animals to return them to nature. "Don't buy souvenir items made from wild animals," an eighth-grade student at Le Loi Secondary School in District 3 wrote after attending the class. "They're beautiful, but consuming them is wrong." Another student wrote that she wants wild animals to be safe, and that high-income individual who could afford expensive wild-animal meat and alcoholic drinks made with wild animal part should stop buying those products. Anh Thu, a ninth-grade student at Truong Cong Dinh Secondary School in Binh Thanh District, said the classes helped her understand the importance of wild animals and nature reserves around the country. Truong Thi Thanh Nguyen, one of WAR's volunteers, said children, who love nature, have benefited from the programme. "We did our best to tell stories about wild animals to the kids. We're now happy with what we shared," she said. Huyen of WAR said she was preparing a new programme with the same format to use at other schools in HCM City for the next academic year.

Nintendo Wii U details leaked on the Net
It's not a secret that Nintendo has been working on a new gaming console – the Nintendo Wii U – but until this moment not much else was known about the successor to the Nintendo Wii. This will all change today thanks to an information leak (maybe intentional) that concerns the Wii U and most importantly its specs. According to sources on the Internet the upcoming Nintendo gaming console will appear on November 23, 2012 and will cost between 350 USD and 450 USD. Nintendo Wii U As to the hardware inside the Wii U will sport 2 GB of RAM, of which 560 MB will be dedicated to running the Wii U OS and an AMD Radeon HD 6770 GPU with DirectX 11 support, which will provide 2304 TFLOPS and 134.4 GB/sec of bandwidth. That's all for now but surely the Nintendo Wii U will surprise gamers and fans with more exciting hardware and features when it launches later this year. yen sao hitech review hue tourism vietnam weight loss cute girl dac san hue how to solve rubik how to tie a tie how to be pregnant how to cv what is fashion trends visit vietnam ky nang ban hang kinh doanh quoc te ngu phap tieng anh de thi dai hoc luan van ngan hang luan van thac sy bao cao thuc tap Quan tri kinh doanh Anh van giao tiep Bao cao thuc tap ke toan Bao cao thuc tap khach san Luan van bao chi Luan van van hoc Luan van sinh hoc Luan van hoa hoc Bao cao thuc tap xay dung Bao cao thuc tap co khi Bao cao thuc tap cong nghe thong tin Bao cao thuc tap nhan su Bao cao thuc tap quan tri kinh doanh De an giao duc

Odd fact in Hanoi
If they seek a place to visit, Hanoians will never mention museums. Parents who are always eager to seek useful addresses to enrich their children's knowledge never think of taking their kids to museums, though nearly 20 museums of Hanoi are situated at the best locations. VietNamNet randomly asked some people the same question: "Do you take your children to museums?" The common answer was "no." They said they never thought about taking their kids to museum and they did not remember the last time they had visited a museum. Instead of going to a museum, they took kids to shopping malls during weekends, where kids could play at an amusement site for kids while their parents could drink coffee, go shopping and then they enjoyed a movie together. Why are museums not favored by Hanoians? With around seven million people, Hanoi has less than 20 museums. Worse, most of museums are unattractive to visitors. Hanoi's museums cannot compete with other forms of entertainment and are losing visitors since they lack methodological marketing and development strategies. They also lack amazing products and lag behind the development of Vietnamese society. Only the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology regularly designs new programs to draw visitors, the remaining museums are always quiet because they do not have interesting events. This museum earns VND12.5 billion (over $600,000) last year compared with VND780 million (over $40,000) of the Vietnam Fine-art Museum and VND1.46 billion (over $70,000) of the Vietnam History Museum.

NVIDIA denies GeForce GTX 600 series recall
GeForce GTX 600 series users went through a major scare this past weekend with rumors going around on the Internet claiming that the already released Kepler graphics cards are defective and NVIDIA will soon initiate a massive recall. The first Kepler-based GeForce GTX 600 series graphics cards debuted on the market just two months ago and immediately regained the performance crown, held until that moment by AMD's Radeon HD 7970 video card. The rumors first originated in a tech blog and claimed that the GK104 chips used in NVIDIA's latest graphics cards were prone to failure after long working hours under high load. The information was later picked up by various hardware sites, which spread it on the Internet like wildfire. GeForce GTX 680 Luckily Mr. Brian Del Rizzo, an NVIDIA representative, reassured GeForce GTX 600 series owners that there are no problems with the GK104 cores and that all GTX 600 graphics cards worked, as they should during testing. It should be noted, however, that NVIDIA is investigating the rumor so Mr. Del Rizzo's statement may not be final. Stay tuned to our web site for more information when it becomes available. yen sao hitech review hue tourism vietnam weight loss cute girl dac san hue how to solve rubik how to tie a tie how to be pregnant how to cv what is fashion trends visit vietnam ky nang ban hang kinh doanh quoc te ngu phap tieng anh de thi dai hoc luan van ngan hang luan van thac sy bao cao thuc tap Quan tri kinh doanh Anh van giao tiep Bao cao thuc tap ke toan Bao cao thuc tap khach san Luan van bao chi Luan van van hoc Luan van sinh hoc Luan van hoa hoc Bao cao thuc tap xay dung Bao cao thuc tap co khi Bao cao thuc tap cong nghe thong tin Bao cao thuc tap nhan su Bao cao thuc tap quan tri kinh doanh De an giao duc

Hanoi hotel opens secret bunker
The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Hotel opened its secret bunker to tourists from May 21, nearly a year after it was discovered. Construction workers accidentally discovered the air-raid shelter ostensibly created during the war when they were digging to build the foundation for a bar last August. When they drilled past 2m, they hit a thick concrete ceiling, and then found a flooded corridor, several rooms, and a staircase leading to a 40sq.m bunker. They found an old wine bottle, intact light bulbs, air ducts, graffiti, and eerie echoes of a war that ended almost 40 years ago. The bunker has been preserved in primitive state, and the hotel will also display photos depicting its 111-year history. The hotel has had guests like actor Charlie Chaplin, writers Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene, actress Jane Fonda, and many heads of state.

Diablo III has Cow Level too
Remember the times when Diablo II was the most popular game? Back then millions of gamers were playing the game desperately trying to find the Secret Cow Level – a place where your hero could get untold riches and unique items. That is, of course, unless he/she gets killed. The legend of the Secret Cow Level originated many years ago when the first Diablo game was making headlines. Somehow a rumor was born that if you click a number of times on a cow while in the town of Tristram a secret gate would open and you would be able to access a wondrous place full of elite items and money known as the Cow Level. It turned out there was no Cow Level in Diablo but in order to please gamers Blizzard Entertainment did include such a level in the Diablo II follow-up. Diablo 3 Logo Now more than 10 years later it appears Blizzard has followed the tradition and Diablo III has been said to feature a Cow Level too. Speculation over such a level started a number of months ago with discussions among gamers on various forums whether the upcoming Diablo III game would feature a Cow Level or not. But now the folks at the Diablo-oriented DiabloNut.com web site have officially said it exists. It is not clear how you can access the secret Cow Level in Diablo III but gamers have posted videos on the Internet explaining how you can do this. Of course such videos are great game spoilers so it up to you to see them or not. One thing's different this time though – you get to kill unicorns instead of cows. yen sao hitech review hue tourism vietnam weight loss cute girl dac san hue how to solve rubik how to tie a tie how to be pregnant how to cv what is fashion trends visit vietnam ky nang ban hang kinh doanh quoc te ngu phap tieng anh de thi dai hoc luan van ngan hang luan van thac sy bao cao thuc tap Quan tri kinh doanh Anh van giao tiep Bao cao thuc tap ke toan Bao cao thuc tap khach san Luan van bao chi Luan van van hoc Luan van sinh hoc Luan van hoa hoc Bao cao thuc tap xay dung Bao cao thuc tap co khi Bao cao thuc tap cong nghe thong tin Bao cao thuc tap nhan su Bao cao thuc tap quan tri kinh doanh De an giao duc
