As well as shedding light on graft, mismanagement and nepotism within state firms at a time privatization is accelerating, the arrests show the ascendancy of a more conservative faction within the ruling Communist Party.

Vietnam jails former central bank official amid graft crackdown
JULY 2, 2018 / 4:56 PM / Reuters Staff
HANOI (Reuters) – A court in Vietnam on Monday jailed a former deputy governor of the central bank for three years, his lawyer said, the most senior banking official put on trial in the Southeast Asian nation amid a crackdown on corruption.
Vietnam’s banking system was rocked in the early 2010s by a string of mismanagement scandals and under-regulated lending, and is still reeling from nonperforming loans.
10 Rivers contribute most of the plastic in the oceans
The 10 rivers that carry 93 percent of that trash are the Yangtze, Yellow, Hai, Pearl, Amur, Mekong, Indus and Ganges Delta in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa. The Yangtze alone dumps up to an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of plastic waste into the Yellow Sea.

Our seas are choking on plastic. A staggering eight million metric tons wind up in oceans every year, and unraveling exactly how it gets there is critical. A recent study estimates that more than a quarter of all that waste could be pouring in from just 10 rivers, eight of them in Asia.

Tertiary education: how to start removing governing mechanism?
Last update 07:00 | 21/06/2018 vietnamnet
VietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) is building up a plan on removing the governing mechanism to be applied on a trial basis at three universities.
Three schools try the non-governing mechanism
However, leaders of the schools admitted they still do not know what they must do.
The removal of the governing mechanism was mentioned many years ago. Resolution No 14 in 2005 on reforming Vietnam’s tertiary education in the 2006-2020 period stipulates that Vietnam will ‘remove the governing body mechanism’ and build up the ‘state ownership representative mechanism’ for state-owned universities.
Prayer 487
Jesus,
I love every Saturday.
Saturday is your day.
I don’t work on Saturday.
I spend all Saturday with you.
Sharing with you about my wishes.
Asking you to help our new projects.
Traveling with you…
The closer I get to you,
the better I feel.
Love you, Jesus.
Amen.

Gained in translation: Why you should translate – Những thứ học được từ dịch thuật
Having reluctantly stumbled upon poetry translation at the age of 14, Minh Quan takes us on his journey through the world of translation explaining how it helped him to broaden his notion of Vietnamese culture, offering a bridge between him and the past, and how it can help others do the same as well.
Minh Quan Do, a student at United Nations International School of Hanoi (UNIS), is an aspiring poet and translator of poetry. He has been working for a series of years on projects involving translation of poetry and crafting original works. His current project, “Gained In Translation,” seeks to explore the effect of translation on language and meaning through a process called back-translation.
Prayer 486
Jesus,
“Talented man, beautiful woman”.
An old prejudice.
The inside of man
and the outside of woman
are valid.
Everyone agrees.
And what about “talented woman, beautiful man”? Continue reading Prayer 486
Courage to believe
Last time in Hanoi, I met a new dear friend, and I liked the girl a lot. She is young and an inspiring sign-language interpreter. I wanted to give her two good books that I contributed a little to the writing since the author of those books is my teacher and my friend. So we found a chance to meet in a coffee shop but to try a new kind of beer (with egg) that she suggested. Continue reading Courage to believe
Discovering the Causes of Cleft – Nguyên nhân sứt môi/hở hàm ếch ở trẻ em
Operationsmile The highest rates occur in Southeast Asia
Editor’s Note: The Philippines holds a special place in the history – and future – of our organization. It was there that Dr. Bill Magee, a plastic surgeon, and his wife Kathy, a nurse and clinical social worker, became inspired to create Operation Smile after witnessing firsthand the dire need for life-changing cleft surgeries while working an independent volunteer medical mission in 1982. Unable to provide surgery for so many children due to lack of resources, the Magees promised to return. We’ve been going back ever since. As we work into our 35th year, we’re highlighting the birthplace of Operation Smile with this four-story series. This story is the first of a two-part feature on the International Family Study.
