We are all potential victims of the con artist

Denise Milani was a 32-year-old Czech swimwear model (mẫu ảnh chụp đồ bơi/bikini). Paul Frampton was a divorced (đã ly hôn) particle physicist  (nhà vật lý) more than twice her age. What happened next was a tale as old as time: they met online; she sent messages by turns steamy (ướt át; khiêu dâm và đắm say) and adoring (tha thiết); they arranged to meet in Bolivia, where she was doing a photo-shoot.

Alas, when Prof Frampton arrived in La Paz to meet her face-to-face for the first time, she’d had to dash to another shoot in Europe. Could she meet him in Brussels instead? And would he mind, terribly, collecting an empty suitcase of hers and bringing it with him?

Of course, the real Ms Milani had no idea that her photographs were being used by a Bolivian drug gang. Prof Frampton seems to have had no idea either, although a friend warned him — correctly — that drugs were surely concealed in the suitcase linings (lớp vải lót (áo, mũ)). Prof Frampton duly spent several years (vài năm) in a Buenos Aires jail (nhà tù) for smuggling (buôn lậu) 2kg of cocaine.

Thailand PM considers moving capital as Bangkok congestion takes toll

Taking inspiration (lấy cảm hứng từ) from neighbouring Myanmar and similar plans (kế hoạch tương tự) being formulated (đang được hình thành) in Indonesia, the Thai prime minister suggested that relocating (di chuyển tới, xây dựng lại) the capital could help Bangkok overcome its mounting (càng lúc càng tăng, không ngừng gia tăng) urban challenges (thách thức đô thị).

Like Jakarta, Bangkok is beset (quấy rối, gây phiền toái; bao quanh, vây quanh) by overcrowding, pollution (ô nhiễm), rising sea levels (mực nước biển dâng) and heavy traffic congestion (tắc nghẽn giao thông).

During an address at the Connecting Thailand with the World Conference on 18 September, the retired army general floated (lan truyền (tin đồn); bắt đầu khởi công/khởi sự (kế hoạch, công trình...); cổ động tuyên truyền) two options for a potential move. “The first is to find a city that’s neither too far nor too expensive to move to,” he said, “The second is to move to outer Bangkok to reduce crowding.”

He engineered Hilton’s entrance into the Las Vegas casino market in 1970. He purchased Kirk Kerkorian’s International, the world’s largest resort hotel, renaming it the Las Vegas Hilton, and bought Mr. Kerkorian’s Flamingo as well, renaming it the Flamingo Hilton. The company’s casino-hotels later extended to Atlantic City and other locations.

At varying times the Hilton empire also included the Waldorf Astoria and the Plaza in New York, as well as the Sir Francis Drake in San Francisco, the Mayflower in Washington and the Conrad Hilton and Palmer House in Chicago.

The Hilton company split off its United States and international hotels into separate entities in the 1960s, but reunited its properties in 2006 with the acquisition of more than 400 overseas hotels, creating an empire of 2,800 hotels. Barron Hilton was co-chairman of Hilton Hotels together with the financier Stephen Bollenbach when it was sold for some $26 billion to the private equity group Blackstone in 2007.

Why Trump Fails at Making Deals

...To the extent that Trump and his business did negotiate successful deals, Lapidus said, it was largely because of the skill of his senior executives such as Harvey Freeman and Susan Heilbron, who handled most of the Trump Organization’s Atlantic City and leasing negotiations (hợp đồng thuê tài sản). “They did all the detailed analysis (phân tích kỹ lưỡng) and reading, none of which he would ever do.” Other former Trump business associates say that his frequent (thường xuyên) boasts (khoe khoang, tâng bốc) about beating (đánh bại) the banks (ngân hàng) at the negotiating table (bàn đàm phán) are also overstated (được thổi phồng); it is widely agreed that the negotiating skill of Trump’s then-chief financial officer (giám đốc tài chính), Stephen Bollenbach, is mainly what saved him from a close brush with (tiếp xúc ngắn, gần chạm tới) personal bankruptcy (phá sản cá nhân) when he was $900 million in debt (nợ nần) in 1990.

...When negotiating with countries rather than companies, however, the situation is different. There are only so many countries in the world, and a president must deal with the major ones again and again, and on many different levels—goodwill counts, in other words. Moreover, countries cannot be driven out of business like competitors in business; they don’t file for bankruptcy and conveniently disappear. There is no zero-sum “Only I win” outcome in trade. Above all, national pride (tự hào dân tộc) comes into play—a successful negotiation must leave the other side a face-saving way out. World leaders can’t just surrender (đầu hàng) and slink off (âm thầm cuốn xéo) like someone who’s been beaten on a business deal.

Over 300 wild reindeer (tuần lộc) were found dead following a lightning storm (bão có sét đánh) in Norway.

The Norwegian Environment Agency released images to the public and reported that a total of 323 of the animals were killed during the storm, including 70 calves (con thú con).

A spokesperson for the agency, Kjartan Knutsen, told The Associated Press that reindeer tend to huddle together (túm tụm vào với nhau; nằm rúc vào nhau) in bad weather (thời tiết xấu) which could be the reason why so many were killed at once.

He lamented (than vãn, phàn nàn), “We have not heard about such numbers before. I don’t know if there were several lightning strikes, but it happened in one moment.”

...Michael Nowak, the head of precious metals (kim loại quý) trading (giao dịch) at JPMorgan and a bank managing director, and two others, Gregg Smith and Christopher Jordan, were accused of placing fake orders (lệnh mua bán giả mạo) to buy and sell futures contracts (hợp đồng tương lai) — a practice called spoofing (bịp bợm, lừa đảo, chơi xỏ) — to manipulate (thao túng) prices (giá cả).

After the half-hour drive from Batman in south-east Turkey, the ancient city of Hasankeyf, which sits on the banks of the Tigris River, appears as an oasis.

Hasankeyf is thought to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements on Earth, dating as far back as 12,000 years and containing thousands of caves (hang động), churches (nhà thờ) and tombs (lăng mộ).

But this jewel (viên kim cương) of human history (lịch sử loài người) will soon be lost; most of the settlement is about to be flooded as part of the highly controversial Ilisu dam project.

Why John Bolton had to leave and what to expect next

John Bolton had to go -- because he wanted to cancel President Donald Trump's worldwide reality show (truyền hình thực tế).

For a time the now ex-national security adviser (cố vấn an ninh quốc gia), who first caught Trump's eye with his tough talk on Fox News, was useful to the President -- sharing his desire to shake up (làm rung chuyển) the globe (địa cầu).

But like everyone else in Trump's dysfunctional (sự hoạt động khác thường của một cơ quan trong cơ thể) foreign policy (chính sách đối ngoại) team, Bolton wore out his welcome, standing in the way of his boss' impetuous (mạnh mẽ, dữ dội; bốc, hăng) instincts (bản năng) and seeking a share of the spotlight (ánh đèn sân khấu).

Only in the bizarre Trump orbit (quỹ đạo) could the exit of a national security adviser seen an ideologue and aggressive hawk (diều hâu) be seen in some ways as the removal of a stabilizing force. But he did have a view of American interests (lợi ích Mỹ) and the use of US power (sức mạnh Mỹ) that while hardline was predictable and logical and positioned within the historic boundaries of US diplomacy.

With him gone, Trump may have more leeway to indulge (cho phép ai tiếp tục mà không cản trở) his more dovish instincts, which rarely match big talk with action. And US diplomacy is likely to reflect its principal author even more closely. It will be more impulsive (hấp tấp, bốc đồng), less strategic and more geared to creating iconic moments, like the President's stroll into North Korea with Kim Jong Un.

A Jacksonville lawyer who insisted his clients could legally grow marijuana, only for them to later face numerous felony charges, must now pay them about $370,000 for his bad legal advice.

Ian Christensen, who lost his law license thanks to what the Florida Supreme Court called his “incompetence (thiếu khả năng, thiếu trình độ, kém cỏi, bất tài) and extremely serious harm,” told Scott and Marsha Yandell that they could legally use and grow marijuana if it was for a medical purpose, even before the state legalized medical marijuana.

...Despite his insistence that they had this legal right, the police, the government and a judge disagreed. The Yandells ended up pleading guilty and agreeing to three years’ probation, a $15,000 fine and 100 hours of community service. Marsha Yandell lost her nursing license.

They filed suit against Christensen in 2016. A few weeks ago, a federal judge in Jacksonville ordered Christensen to pay the Yandells $370,000 for wages they lost due to their convictions.

Amazon fires: what is happening and is there anything we can do?

...Do we need to worry about oxygen?

No. Although some reports have claimed the Amazon produces 20% of the world’s oxygen, it is not clear where this figure originated. The true figure is likely to be no more than 6%, according to climate scientists such as Michael Mann and Jonathan Foley.

So should we still be concerned?

Extremely. The fires are mostly illegal and they are degrading the world’s biggest terrestrial (sống trên mặt đất, (thuộc) hành tinh trái đất) carbon sink and most important home for biodiversity (đa dạng sinh học). They also contribute to a more important trend, which is an alarming rise in deforestation (sự phá rừng, phát quang). Scientists say the Amazon is approaching a tipping point (điểm lật), after which it will irreversibly (không thể đảo ngược) degrade (xuống cấp) into a dry savannah (hoang mạc khô). At a time when the world needs billions more trees to absorb carbon and stabilise the climate, the planet is losing its biggest rainforest.

Is this the fault of the Brazilian president?

Jair Bolsonaro has made things a lot worse by weakening the environment agency, (cơ quan môi trường) attacking conservation NGOs and promoting the opening of the Amazon to mining, farming and logging. The far-right leader has dismissed satellite data on deforestation and fired the head of the space agency. But it is not solely his fault. The agricultural lobby is powerful in Brazil and it has steadily eroded the protection system that was so successful from 2005-2014. Deforestation crept up in the past five years under the previous presidents Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer. The rate has accelerated rapidly in the first eight months of Bolsonaro’s rule.

‘Grotesque’ burying of Bentley proves winner at ad Oscars

Eccentric billionaire Chiquinho Scarpa ruffled (làm trái ý, làm mếch lòng) more than a few feathers in his native Brazil recently when he announced plans to bury his beloved Bentley.

The businessman said he would bury his $500,000 luxury car - a black Bentley Flying Spur- so that he could drive it in the afterlife (thế giới bên kia, thế giới âm, hậu kiếp). 62-year-old Scarpa said he had been inspired after watching a TV documentary on the Egyptians, who were buried with their most precious belongings.

Needless to say, the plan drew an avalanche (tuyết lở, tràng dồn dập) of criticism on social media, with people labelling him as cruel, elitist and downright (đích thực, rành rành) insane (điên cuồng, mất trí). Poverty campaigners savaged him for his “wasteful lunacy (hành động điên rồ, cử chỉ điên dại, ý nghĩ rồ dại)”, saying that the car could have been donated (hiến) to charity (từ thiện).

...Just as the car was about to be lowered into the ground, Scarpa called an abrupt (đột ngột) halt (dừng) to proceedings. He told the assembled media: “I have not buried my car. Everyone thought it absurd when I said I’d do it. It is absurd to bury bodies, which can save many lives. Nothing is more valuable. Be a donor (người hiến tặng), tell your family”.

An Australian worker won a landmark privacy case against his employer after he was fired for refusing to use a fingerprint scanner

Jeremy Lee from Queensland, Australia, was fired (sa thải) from his job at Superior Wood Pty Ltd, a lumber manufacturer, in February 2018 after he refused to use the company’s newly-introduced fingerprint scanners to sign in and out of work. According to case documents, Lee asserted that he had ownership over the biometric data (dữ liệu sinh trắc học) contained within his fingerprint (dấu vân tay), and that Superior Wood could not require that information from him under the country’s Privacy Act (đạo luật quyền riêng tư).

Lee filed a suit with Australia’s Fair Work Commission in March 2018, claiming he was unfairly (không công bằng) dismissed from the company. The commissioner (ủy viên hội đồng) reviewing the case in June ruled in favour of Superior Wood, concluding that the fingerprinting policy was reasonable and therefore employees were obliged to comply (buộc phải tuân thủ).

Dissatisfied (không hài lòng) with the outcome of his case, Lee decided to represent himself and appeal (kháng cáo) the commission’s decision in November 2018...

In the latest of the weird (không tự nhiên, huyền bí, kỳ lạ; khách thường, khó hiểu) and wacky (dở người, chập mạch, lập dị, mất trí) on the internet, a Facebook event entitled "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us" has gone viral. Over 1.3 million people have indicated (cho biết, ra dấu; ngụ ý, biểu lộ) that they're going to this 3 AM joke event on September 20th to stage a joint invasion (xâm lược, xâm chiếm, xâm lấn) of the military base (căn cứ quân sự) and finally "see them aliens (người ngoài hành tinh)." The event has flooded (tràn ngập) the internet with attack plans and memes.

...while the original intent of the event may have been to get some likes and laughs, some are taking the raid a bit more seriously. Hotels and campsites in the area have reportedly recieved a boost in reservations (đặt phòng) because of the event, and the Air Force issued a stern warning to any potential raiders (người đột kích).

Area 51 has been a hub of speculation and conspiracy theorists (nhà lý thuyết âm mưu) since 1989. In a televised interview, Bob Lazar claimed that he took apart a UFO and read government documents about aliens involved in life on Earth as a physicist (nhà vật lý) working in Area 51. Although there was no evidence to back his claims, the military base has since been a pilgrimage (hành hương) site for those convinced that the government is hiding proof of alien life. Area 51 was formally recognized as a spy plane testing site (địa điểm thử nghiệm máy bay do thám) in a 2013 CIA declassified document release in 2013, but this did little to stem the rumors about the base's secret extraterrestrial (ngoài trái đất, ngoài khí quyển) purposes...
