Tình bạn là gì?

Prayer 632
Jesus,
I know some authors,
who love to write
and who are professional writers.
At the beginning, they wrote well.
After from 2-20 years, they started to go downhill.
Why?
Because they couldn’t keep the mind still. Continue reading Prayer 632
The Real Reason Why Mary Magdalene Is Such a Controversial Figure
Chào các bạn,
Nói về Giêsu, nhất là vào Tuần Thánh là tuần trước ngày Phục Sinh, trong buổi ăn cuối cùng của các môn đệ, cao điểm là cảnh Mary Magdalene dùng dầu thơm để rửa chân cho Jesus và dùng tóc của mình để lau chân Jesus – một cảnh siêu tình cảm và lãng mạn dù ở thời đại nào. Ngay cả trong Thánh kinh chính thức (đã được dùng bởi các tổ phụ để xóa ảnh hưởng của Mary Magdalene và phụ nữ ra khỏi giáo hội cho đến ngày nay – phụ nữ ngày nay vẫn không được làm linh mục), thì Mary Magdalene là người đầu tiên thấy Giêsu sống lại, trong thời đại mà đàn bà không được làm nhân chứng chính thức trong các kiện cáo và lời nói được xem là không đáng tin. Tức là nói về Giêsu thì không thể nói về Mary Magdalene.
Mary Magdalene là nhân vật bí ẩn nhất trong Thánh kinh. Giáo hội, thời ban đầu đã cố tình biến Mary thành người đàn bà tội lỗi, bán dâm, bị quỷ ám, và xóa sổ Mary khỏi dòng chính của tư duy. Cho đến 1969 giáo hội (dưới ảnh hưởng đổi mới của Công Đồng Vaticano II) mới có chỉnh sửa lại cái nhìn rằng những cái nhìn trước kia là không có căn bản.

As China stops solid waste imports, Vietnam fears it could become new dumping ground
vietnamnet 15/04/2019 16:37 GMT+7
China has vowed to stop importing solid waste by 2020, while Vietnam is still fumbling for solutions to control scrap imports.
Chinese agencies on March 28 announced the country’s plan to cut solid waste imports to zero percent by 2020 with an aim of encouraging plants to treat the high amount of domestic waste.
Prior to that, eight categories of steel, copper and aluminum scrap were added to the list of prohibited items in early 2019 and 24 categories of plastic scraps appeared in the list in late 2017.

Still Under Pressure: Manila Versus the Militia

Since early March, Chinese fishing vessels—apparently part of the country’s maritime militia force—have been operating near two Philippine-held features in the disputed Spratly Islands: Loaita Island and Loaita Cay, called Kota and Panata Islands by Filipinos. The Philippine press began to report this militia presence in early April, prompting the government to say it would protest to Beijing.

Investor–State Dispute Settlement Reform Talks Resume at UNCITRAL
The next meeting of a United Nations working group debating options for reforming investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) will take place in New York from April 1 to 5.
Two years into the process, it remains unclear whether this work will lead to the desired reforms or what shape these changes may ultimately take.
The next chapter in reforming ISDS agreements moves to New York in April 2019.
Meanwhile, countries remain frustrated with the current system, and have extensively voiced their concerns in the ongoing multilateral ISDS reform discussions being held under the Working Group III process within the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).

HỘI AN — The appearance of a 15ha sandbank, 1.8km off the Cửa Đại Beach since early this year offers a chance to research changing riverhead flows and sand sedimentation at lower lands, according to experts.
The emergence of the sandbank could lead to solutions to help save Cửa Đại Beach, 5km from UNESCO-recognised world heritage site Hội An City, from serious erosion over past decades.
