Jesus,
“The vagaries of life
Though painful,
Teach us
Not to cling
To this floating world.”*
I love the literary work.

Prayer 574
Jesus,
Let’s go out?
Should we ride the motorbike or walking?
What outfit should I wear?
Baggy pants or midi skirt?
Sport shoes or ankle boots?
Hat?
Where should we go?
Should I turn left or right?
Lời cầu nguyện 573 – Prayer 573
Giêsu ơi,
Những cuộc thi sắc đẹp
chỉ tập trung vào đánh giá và xếp hạng
các đặc điểm hình thể của người chơi.
Thế nên, những cuộc thi này làm xáo trộn xã hội,
đặc biệt là xã hội phương Đông chúng ta. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 573 – Prayer 573
Coal assets stranded in Southeast Asia
30 Nov 2018 by Energiewende Team at Energy Transition
Coal is now more expensive than renewable energy – and while this is good news for the climate, it’s bad news for developing countries who have invested in coal. Renato Redentor Constantino looks at how Japan and Korea are divesting, and the IMF’s opinion on stranded assets.

Countries in Southeast Asia who have invested in coal are finding themselves high and dry.
Because of competition from renewable energy, the Philippines is facing at least $21 billion in stranded coal plant assets, representing all new proposals in the pipeline. The figure represents over a fourth of the country’s national budget.

Vài dòng về prof. Phil Grub
TĐH: Mình đăng lại bài này của một người hoc trò nói về GS Phil Grub, vì GS là một thành viên trong ban giám đốc thời mình thành lập Vietnamese American Education Foundation năm 1992 để bắt đầu công cuộc giúp phát triển đất nước.
GS Grub, với một network bạn ở Châu Á là người giúp được mình nhiều việc thời bấy giờ, đặc biệt là việc mở lớp luật tại Bộ Tu Pháp VN tháng 9 năm 1992, là việc mà lúc đó nhiều người cho là “không thể.”

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A senior U.S. intelligence official said on Tuesday that Chinese cyber activity in the United States had risen in recent months, targeting critical infrastructure in what may be attempts to lay the groundwork for future disruptive attacks.

COP24 special report on health and climate change
3-14 December 2018, Katowice, Poland – In its latest report, WHO highlights health as the biggest issue to be prioritized during COP-24 and provides key recommendations to the negotiators on how to maximize the health benefits of tackling climate change and avoid the worse health impacts of this global challenge.
Although there has been hugely positive progress in tackling health and climate change issues, there is a still a long way to go. Millions of people are still exposed to air pollution globally, resulting in 7 million premature deaths every year; 3 billion people still lack access to clean and reliable energy; and nearly a quarter of all deaths worldwide result from people having to live or work in unhealthy environments.
Unless significant changes are made and stronger action taken, we are risk of failing to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement and the SDGs.
How Asia fell out of love with China’s Belt and Road Initiative
Countries are discovering that the promise of Xi Jinping’s signature infrastructure program is too good to be true.
By Iain Marlow and Dandan LiIn late August, President Abdulla Yameen of the Maldives hailed the opening of a Chinese-built bridge connecting two islands in the archipelago as “the gateway into tomorrow and the opportunities beyond.”
One month later, Yameen was voted out and the new government of the palm-fringed nation off the coast of India began to uncover the mountain of debt with which he’d saddled the country.
Prayer 570
Jesus,
Love today is fast love.
Just making a date is to think about having sex.
Oh,
our traditional love,
the Eastern classical love,
the slow love,
the romantic love,
when will he come back to our country, Jesus?
I miss him.
I love him.
Amen.

China, Japan, & South Korea lead global push to expand coal plants
December 10th, 2018 by Joshua S Hill at Clean Technica
Despite countless warnings and mounting economic evidence to the contrary, countries continue to expand the number of new coal-fired power plants, a push which is currently being led by China, Japan, and South Korea, according to the latest figures from CoalSwarm released last week.
Dangerously, even as these three countries seek to transition their own economies away from coal-fired power and towards large-scale renewable energy sources — sources such as solar and offshore and onshore wind — they are also providing significant funding for overseas coal plants in developing nations.
The New NAFTA – the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Brings Future Changes to ISDS
On September 30, 2018, the United States, Mexico and Canada (the Parties) reached an agreement to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The new agreement is called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). As has been widely reported, the Parties conducted many months of negotiations to reach this agreement.
It is important to note that the USMCA still has to be ratified by all the Parties. Until this ratification has taken place, the current NAFTA rules and regulations remain in place. This means that there is no immediate change to existing legal structure in place.
