Kratie, Cambodia – At the dolphin ticket office there is a tattered page stuck to the wall calling on readers to save dolphins as part of “Cambodia’s splendid natural heritage”.

Challenging the Pacific Powers: China’s Strategic Inroads in Context
The Pacific Islands are emerging as yet another arena of competition between China, the United States, and other powers. Beijing’s influence in the region has surged over the last decade alongside its rapidly growing aid and infrastructure investments. On the sidelines of the 2018 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Papua New Guinea, President Xi Jinping held a high-level meeting with Pacific Island leaders, announcing new partnerships and signing many of them up as official participants in China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Jesus,
Forgiving?
I think I have never forgiven anyone.
Why?
Because I see nothing to forgive.
Let’s open the Book of John
and meditate your words, Jesus.
Amen.

Giêsu ơi,
Giêsu được sinh ra
trong một đêm tĩnh lặng
tại một nơi thấp hèn.
Vậy nên, tĩnh lặng và thấp hèn

Jesus,
“The vagaries of life
Though painful,
Teach us
Not to cling
To this floating world.”*
I love the literary work.
Giêsu ơi,
Ngả đầu em trên vai Giêsu.
Bình an.
Em kể Giêsu nghe chuyện em.
Giêsu biết hết mọi điều em trải qua
nhưng Giêsu vẫn yêu em để kể cho Giêsu nghe.
Chuyện là… Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 575 – Prayer 575
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?
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 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.

WASHINGTON — The cyberattack on the Marriott hotel chain that collected personal details of roughly 500 million guests was part of a Chinese intelligence-gathering effort that also hacked health insurers and the security clearance files of millions more Americans, according to two people briefed on the investigation.
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.”
The passing of Phil Grub, my Professor, Academic Advisor, and Friend
I recently learned of the passing of my Professor, Academic Advisor and Friend, Phil Grub (picture ) who succumbed to cancer on April 14, 2008. Phil was a unique American who had the ability to sport and develop talent, especially from the developing world. He took a particular interest in my education at the George Washington University School of Business, Washington DC.
Jesus,
“A time for everything
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build, Continue reading Prayer 572

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.
“You worry they are prepositioning against critical infrastructure and trying to be able to do the types of disruptive operations that would be the most concern,” National Security Agency official Rob Joyce said at a Wall Street Journal cybersecurity conference.
Jesus,
Please give me concentration and intelligence.
I want to finish works on earth
in order to spend more time with you.
Amen.
PTH
