Strengthen women’s livelihoods and participation for greater resilience to disasters and climate change in Viet Nam

UNWomen – Thao Hoang – Friday, 22 November 2019

When Tran Thi My Linh, a 51-year-old rural woman first said that she would replace her rice fields with lotus fields, she raised many eyebrows. In the little commune of Hoa Dong in Phu Yen province, just south of Viet Nam’s capital, Ha Noi, villagers had planted rice for generations. However, with the changing weather patterns in recent years, millions of people have been affected in Phu Yen and in rural Viet Nam in general and people have started looking for new livelihoods.

Currency adrift – 50 years after the “Nixon shock”

~ Phạm Thu Hương ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Nikkei – 50 years ago a major event in the history of money occurred — the “Nixon shock” of August 15, 1971. The “floating exchange rate system” that became the norm after this spurred the development of the global postwar economy. However, it has also frequently caused crises in emerging countries. Recently “digital currencies” have begun to spread, and there are signs that the reserve currency system based on the dollar may be changing. How will the future of currency impact the global economy?

nikkei – Feb. 21 marks the 50th anniversary of U.S. President Richard Nixon’s trip to China, a turning point in international relations.

Washington and Beijing joined together to counter the Soviet Union, but China did not democratize as the U.S. hoped. It has now become an economic and military powerhouse under the one-party rule of the Communist Party. A half-century after the handshake that changed the world, cooperation has turned to confrontation. The U.S.-China relationship and global affairs have all undergone tumultuous change.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the financial reckoningimposed on Moscow in response are proof that the triumphant globalization campaignthat began more than 30 years ago has reached a dead end.

India’s ‘neutrality’ on the Ukraine conflict could hurt it in the long run

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24 has put India in a particularly difficult spot. Since the conflict between Moscow and the U.S. over Ukraine began escalating late last year, India has avoided taking sides. But with Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, that cautious approach will become increasingly untenable for New Delhi. It could hurt India’s interests in the long-run.

Recent public pushback shows that Vladimir Putin could be meeting his match – not just with Ukrainians, but also his own people who are tiring of constant wars.

Russian President Vladimir Putin might not have predicted the resistance he has seen since he ordered an invasion of Ukraine.

But it’s not just the Ukrainian people who are putting up a surprising fight.

ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan urged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Sunday to declare a ceasefire in Ukraine, open humanitarian corridors and sign a peace agreement, his office said.

NATO member Turkey shares a maritime border with Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea and has good ties with both. Ankara has called Russia’s invasion unacceptable and offered to host talks, but has opposed sanctions on Moscow.

HOI AN, VIETNAM - APRIL 24: Tourists, mostly domestic, take a boat tour through the Thu Bon river on April 24, 2021 in Hoi An, Vietnam. Hoi An, a UNESCO heritage site, once a hot spot favorited by foreign tourists, has had to undergo the tribulations of survival amid Covid-19 impacts. The number of domestic visitors has begun rising thanks to the effort of key players in the tourism sector by decreasing airfares, entrance fees and adding more tourism products that fit the domestic tourist market, such as opening pedestrian zones, night markets, craft villages and traditional games.

(CNN) — Vietnam was the only destination added to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s highest-risk Level 4 category for travel on Monday.

The “very high” risk category still contains more destinations than all the other levels put together, with nearly 140 places now at Level 4. In early January, there were around 80 destinations listed there.

The CDC places a destination at “Level 4: Covid-19 Very High” risk when more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents are registered in the past 28 days.

To recap, a single destination was added to Level 4 on February 28:

Chống đạo văn: “Có ai nói cho các em đâu!”

VNN – Bao nhiêu phần trăm sinh viên đại học, học viên cao học ở các cơ sở đào tạo của Việt Nam biết cách viết một bài tiểu luận đảm bảo tiêu chuẩn về đạo đức học thuật? Bao nhiêu phần trăm biết cách trích dẫn đúng trong một luận văn, luận án tốt nghiệp?

Con số đó là cực kỳ thấp, kể cả ở những trường đại học tốp đầu Việt Nam. Đó là nhận định của chính các giảng viên đang giảng dạy trong trường đại học. Thậm chí, một bộ phận lớn vẫn còn rất xa lạ với khái niệm “đạo văn” và mới chỉ dừng lại ở những hiểu biết sơ khai về vấn đề này. 

Sinh viên Việt Nam: Ý thức chống đạo văn gần như bằng 0
