Situated to the southeast of Phú Quốc Island, Nam Du Archipelago in the southern province of Kiên Giang consists of 21 islands and islets. The archipelago is often referred to as a miniature of Hạ Long Bay in the southern sea of Việt Nam, but unlike its tourist-clogged northern counterpart, it is a rather untouched destination.

VietNamNet Bridge – Despite the sharp increase in the numbers of professors and associate professors, and lecturers with master degrees and doctorates, no Vietnamese university is included in international university rankings.

Students of Duy Tan University

The Science, Education and Environment Advisory Council, at a recent conference on post-graduate training and talent development, pointed out a number of problems in higher education and academic research.

While the number of research works is high, the quality is low and the results cannot be applied in real life. The number of internationally published articles remains modest, especially in social sciences. Tiếp tục đọc “Modest level of research: weakness of Vietnam’s universities” →

At least 40 percent of the world’s people are affected by water scarcity at present, with as many as 700 million people at risk of being displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030.

More than two billion people are compelled to drink unsafe water and more than 4.5 billion people do not have safely managed sanitation services, according to a report of the High-Level Panel on Water (HLPW).

The HLPW handed over the outcome of the report on Thursday to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Senior Representative of the World Bank President at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA. Tiếp tục đọc “40 percent of world’s people affected by water scarcity” →

What it means that the Russians-hacking-US-energy-grid story is being leaked in a big way now

This morning, Associated Press (AP) had the story that Russians have succeeded in hacking into the US energy grid, though they were then expelled. From the CNBC version:

U.S. national security officials said the FBI, the Homeland Security Department and American intelligence agencies determined that Russian intelligence and others were behind the attacks on the energy sector. The officials said the Russians deliberately chose U.S. energy industry targets, obtaining access to computer systems and then conducting “network reconnaissance” of industrial control systems that run American factories and the electricity grid.

Powerful Images From the National Walkout – Học sinh toàn nước Mỹ biểu tình đòi an ninh

The adults act like kids, and the kids act like adults
Người lớn hành động như trẻ em, trẻ em hành động như người lớn.

Truyền thông Mỹ đang nói câu đó. Nước Mỹ thường xuyên xảy ra sát nhân giết người hằng loạt bằng súng, đặc biệt là trong các trường học. Tổng tống Mỹ và các nghị sĩ đảng cầm quyền Cộng Hòa ở Thượng Viên và Hạ Viện Mỹ ngồi yên không dám nhúc nhích vì sợ làm mất lòng National Rifle Association (NRA – Hội Súng Trường Quốc Gia) với tiền bạc đổ vào mọi cuộc bầu cử ủng hộ ứng viên Cộng Hòa và hệ thống lobbying vĩ đại của hội (vận động hành lang Quốc hội và các cơ quan chính phủ). Vì vậy, các em học sinh trung học tự đứng dậy đòi hỏi giải quyết vấn đề.

Ngày thứ tư 17/3/2018, đúng một tháng từ ngày 17 học sinh bị bắn chết ở trường Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School ở bang Florida, học sinh từ nhiều trường trên khắp nước Mỹ làm cuộc walkout (bước ra khỏi lớp học), biểu tình, đòi hỏi chính quyền thay đổi luật về mua bán súng để trường học an ninh hơn. Các em tuyên bố sẽ không ngừng đòi hỏi cho đến khi luật thay đổi, và nói rằng các em 18 tuổi trở lên nhất định sẽ đi bầu để bầu những người hỗ trợ tăng kiểm soát mua bán súng (thường là người của đảng Dân Chủ).

Giới thiệu

Phát triển kinh tế bao gồm việc chuyển dịch đất đai, lao động và vốn từ những hoạt động năng suất thấp sang những hoạt động có năng suất cao. Ở mức thu nhập rất thấp, tăng trưởng có thể đạt được thông qua huy động những nguồn lực chưa được sử dụng hay chưa khai thác đầy đủ, ví dụ như đưa những vùng đất trống và lao động nhàn rỗi trong nông nghiệp vào sản xuất cây trồng mới cho xuất khẩu. Khi thu nhập tăng lên, việc gia tăng năng suất đòi hỏi phải ứng dụng nhiều công nghệ phức tạp hơn, thường trong những doanh nghiệp có qui mô lớn hơn và sản xuất nhiều hàng hóa, dịch vụ tinh tế hơn.
