HO CHI MINH CITY—When U.S. diplomats made a trip to Danang last year, Vietnamese students presented the visitors with a small replica of the White House, which they had just created using a 3D printer.

At Fablab Saigon, students learn about sensors and micro-controllers so they can tinker with potential products that are part of the internet of things.At Fablab Saigon, students learn about sensors and micro-controllers so they can tinker with potential products that are part of the internet of things.

That and other machines were made available at Fablab Danang, part of a global network of open laboratories that let people fabricate products and inventions that might otherwise be impossible for someone working alone. Fablab is also part of a growing movement in Vietnam, which relies on technology and practical training to get young people excited about finding a career.

A Rebalanced transatlantic policy toward the asia-pacific region

A Rebalanced transatlantic policy toward the asia-pacific region

Heather A. Conley,  James Mina, and Phuong Nguyen

The United States and the European Union share similar interests and objectives in the Asia Pacific. Yet despite these shared goals, both powers have pursued independent – and at times competitive – policies in the region, which have on occasion hindered the realization of mutual strategic interests. As the United States and European Union deepen their engagement with the region and with key decisions looming on the horizon (notably regarding granting China market economy status and the Arbitral Tribunal’s ruling on territorial claims in the South China Sea), how can the transatlantic relationship be used more effectively to accelerate the region’s economic development, ensure the application of robust economic standards, strengthen the region’s institutional architecture, and uphold international legal principles?

5 ways public-private partnerships can promote gender equality

Leave a comment

blog.worldbank – From my corner of the World Bank, the development objective of promoting gender equality can seem vague or unrelated to what we do. We can give three cheers for our colleagues who focus on gender issues for successfully developing and releasing  the World Bank’s new Gender Equality, Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth Strategy — and then return to our work of closing the infrastructure financing gap and helping governments prioritize their infrastructure projects.

The beautiful beaches of Chile have long been a draw for tourists, but the dead whales, salmon, sardines and clams washing up on the shores lately have made them a lot less picturesque, and scientists believe El Niño is to blame.

The science of happiness can trump GDP as a guide for policy

Leave a comment

theconversation – For centuries, happiness was exclusively a concern of the humanities; a matter for philosophers, novelists and artists. In the past five decades, however, it has moved into the domain of science and given us a substantial body of research. This wellspring of knowledge now offers us an enticing opportunity: to consider happiness as the leading measure of well-being, supplanting the current favourite, real gross domestic product per capita, or GDP.

RCEP - a life raft for trade liberalization in Asia

asiapathway – There seems to be a pushback against trade agreements in the post global financial crisis era. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was signed in early 2016, but US presidential candidates have spared no effort criticizing it so near-term ratification is highly uncertain. The WTO Doha Round is in the deep freeze after 14 years of negotiations. Unilateral trade liberalization has virtually come to a standstill.

Vietnam powerless to stop illegal gold mining

Leave a comment
An accident last Tuesday that killed four gold miners in the south-central province of Quang Nam has once again given rise to public disquiet over illegal gold mining in central Vietnam.

Despite nearly 40 people having been killed in nine separate gold mine accidents in Quang Nam alone since 2009, thousands continue to put their lives at risk while digging up ranges of mountains in the unlawful pursuit of the precious metal.

Rare rallies in Vietnam over mysterious mass fish deaths

    TĐH: Thông tin về hai cuộc tuần hành ở HCM City ngày 30/4/2016 và Hà Nội ngày 1/5/2016 không có trên báo chí trong nước, nên mình đành phải lấy từ các nguồn tin bên ngoài.

    Sau bản tin tếng Anh là 2 video clips của truyền hình SBTN ở Mỹ. Các bạn cần lưu ý là công ty TV này không thân thiện với nhà nước VN, nên lời lẽ và phân tích có thể không trung lập. Hai người phát ngôn chính thức trên hai clips này là hai linh mục DCCT.

    Về việc tôm cá chết hằng loạt, chúng ta cần chờ điều tra của các khoa học gia, nhưng mình đã có sưu tầm thông tin cho mình và đã tạm kết luận El Nino làm nước biển ở miền Trung nóng lên, là thủ phạm chính. Các nguồn pollution, nếu có ảnh hưởng đến tôm cá ở biển, là thủ phạm phụ.

    Dù kết quả cuối cùng cho biết thế nào, chúng ta cần đợi các khoa học gia xác định.

Changing global patterns of poverty

Loewe, Markus / Nicole Rippin
Briefing Paper 3/2012

Bonn: German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE)

die-gdi _ Global patterns of poverty do not look like they did twenty years ago. Many developing countries have been able to raise their average per-capita income over the last two decades; 18 have even trespassed the highly noticed – though arbitrary – ceiling differentiating between ‘low income’ and ‘middle income countries’ (LICs and MICs).

5 Ways to Get Girls into STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

Leave a comment

Karen D. Purcell, P.E.

edutopia – As a society, we learn about the world and advance our well being through science and engineering. The United States may be known around the world for its higher education, but compared to many other leading and steadily emerging countries, we lack a strong focus on educating scientists and engineers. One significant reason that we have fallen behind is that we do not encourage our female students to pursue career paths in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

Provoking Beijing in the South China Sea Will Only Backfire on Washington

Dear Friends

This professor from  Guangdong Research Institute for International Strategies in Guangzhou, China, is saying that the US activities to protect international freedom of navigation in the East Sea will prompt China to toughen its position, not very good for the US.

Well, China has already treated the US, ASEAN countries, and the world like a bunch of wimps, and the world as a lawless place.  The world simply has to put China to its place and tell China that this world is NOT a lawless place for bullies.

And this is not the US v. China, stupid!  This is the world of law against lawless China.
