Thirty-seven percent of APEC CEOs are “very confident” of revenue growth during the next 12 months, up from 28 percent in 2016 despite trade policy uncertainty and related political tensions in many of the economies that make up APEC, according to findings from the APEC 2017 CEO survey.

Cứu trợ lũ lụt: Sao cứ là mì tôm, nước mắm?
(NLĐO) – LTS: Hằng năm, cùng với mưa bão, lũ lụt, các đoàn cứu trợ lại lên đường mang theo quà đa phần là quần áo cũ, mì tôm, gạo, nước mắm. Việc cứu trợ đó có đúng nơi, đúng người và thiết thực? Chia sẻ của chị Huệ Thi – một người dân vùng lũ ở Quảng Nam sẽ phần nào phản ánh tính thiết thực của việc cứu trợ hiện nay.
Chia sẻ của chị Huệ Thi trên Facebook cá nhân về việc cứu trợ lũ lụt
Tôi sinh ra tại Đại Lộc – Quảng Nam, nơi mà hằng năm có ít nhất 1 trận bão hoặc cơn lũ. Dân quê tôi luôn ở trạng thái sẵn sàng ứng phó và chuẩn bị, đó cũng là lý do sao mà nhà cửa ở đây hầu như có gác hoặc xây kiên cố dù gia cảnh nhiều người còn khó khăn.
Lũ về thì mùa màng năm sau mới được phù sa bồi đắp tốt chứ không hẳn tiêu cực hoang tàn. Trời chuyển mưa dân quê đã biết dự đoán có lũ về hay không, tất nhiên lũ to nhỏ còn do thiên nhiên nhưng vẫn chủ động chuẩn bị mớ gạo mắm, đủ chống đói trong thời gian cả tuần.

May 15, 2017
edutopia_Representation matters: Girls do better on science tests when their textbooks include images of female scientists. And a 2017 survey by Microsoft found that girls in Europe begin to show interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields at 11 years old but lose it at around 15—and a lack of female role models is one reason for the drop in interest.
