Don’t Believe the New Trump

He’s still the same old, uninformed, easily manipulated, egomaniac — surrounded by second-raters, lickspittles, and extremists.

Don’t Believe the New Trump

Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday night was the first truly presidential speech he has ever given and therefore the best — far superior to his egomaniacal “I alone can fix it” Republican National Convention acceptance speech or his dark and divisive “American carnage” inaugural address. His tribute to fallen Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens, delivered while his widow sobbed in the balcony, was a genuinely moving moment, even if earlier in the day he refused to accept any personal responsibility for ordering the raid in which Owens died. For once he did not vilify the media or his opponents. Tiếp tục đọc “Don’t Believe the New Trump” →

Vietnam is among five countries in the world to suffer the most from climate change.

According to the Central Steering Committee on Fighting and Preventing Calamities, the spell of cold weather which lasted from January 22 to January 28, 2016 in the north killed nearly 9,500 cattle and damaged 9,453 hectares of rice fields.

During the cold spell, snow not only appeared in mountainous areas near the border line, but also in Hanoi and Nghe An province, the thing which never happened in the past. Tiếp tục đọc “Climate change triggers new diseases in Vietnam” →

 VietNamNet Bridge – The salary Vietnamese receive at Japanese businesses is half of what workers in China can expect. The key lies in productivity and the shift of production to higher stages of the value chain.

A recent survey by JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) showed Vietnamese workers received $4,025 on average per year in 2016, though they worked for leading Japanese companies.

The amount of money was less than 50 percent of the salary that Japanese companies paid to Chinese workers who work for factories in China.

JETRO’s Chief Representative Atsusuke Kawada said the pay to Vietnamese shows that Vietnam remains a market with cheap labor costs in comparison with other countries. This is a great advantage for Vietnam to attract Japanese investors. Tiếp tục đọc “Workers in VN paid half of salaries in China at Japanese factories” →

ISLAMABAD: Thousands of religious hardliners in Pakistan defied a ban on demonstrations to rally on Wednesday in support of a man executed for murdering a popular governor over his call to reform the country’s blasphemy laws.

Mumtaz Qadri was executed on Feb. 29 last year for killing Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab, Pakistan’s most populous province.

Qadri had been assigned as one of Taseer’s bodyguards after the governor enraged the religious right by calling for reform to the country’s blasphemy laws in support of a Christian woman who had been sentenced to death.

Under heavy security, Indonesian and Vietnamese nationals formally charged with murder and now face death penalty.

Two women were charged on Wednesday with the murder of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korea’s leader, after his assassination by a liquid chemical weapon at a Malaysian airport.

Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 28, from Vietnam, were surrounded by a heavy police presence as they were charged in a Kuala Lumpur court over the February 13 killing.

Siti, wearing a red T-shirt, was brought in first to hear the murder charge read out before being taken away. Huong, also dressed casually, then heard the charge in Vietnamese.

The handcuffed women wearing body armour were both told they faced the death penalty if found guilty. Tiếp tục đọc “Court charges two women with Kim Jong-nam murder” →

Chào các bạn,

Hôm nay mình giới thiệu đến các bạn “Phong Trào Việt Hóa Nhạc Trẻ Sài Gòn 60s-70s”, là một phong trào đã đóng góp cho nền âm nhạc Việt Nam một kho tàng nghệ thuật sáng tạo của các nhạc sĩ tiên phong từng làm mưa làm gió một thời ở nơi được mệnh danh là “La Perle De L’Extrême-Orient” (“The Pearl Of The Far East” – “Hòn Ngọc Viễn Đông”).

Nhạc Trẻ là một hiện tượng âm nhạc xuất hiện ở miền Nam Việt Nam vào đầu thập niên 1960s, ảnh hưởng bởi âm nhạc đương đại của Âu Châu và Mỹ Châu.

Nhạc kích động Âu Mỹ bắt đầu xâm nhập thị trường miền Nam vào cuối năm 1959. Giới trẻ, con của các thương gia và giới trưởng giả theo học chương trình Pháp thường nghe các loại nhạc kích động của Mỹ và Pháp. Phải đợi tới khoảng 1963-65, phong trào nghe nhạc kích động Tây phương bành trướng mạnh qua các buổi tổ chức khiêu vũ tại gia. Các danh ca của Hoa Kỳ như: Paul Anka, Elvis Presley, The Platters, của Anh như: Cliff Richard, The Shadows, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, của Pháp như: Johnny Halliday, Sylvie Vartan, Françoise Hardy, Christophe, Dalida, vv…. là thần tượng của thanh niên nam nữ dưới 18 tuổi.

nytimes_NGHIA BINH, Vietnam — Growing up in this village of rice paddies and banana trees, Doan Thi Huong was known as a gentle girl and a diligent student, her brother said.

She left home at 17 to study pharmacology in Hanoi, the capital, and has returned home only about twice a year in the decade since, said her brother, Doan Van Binh. He said that he rarely pressed his sister for details about her life, and did not realize until a few days ago that she had been working in Malaysia.
