5. Write. Like on a real piece of paper.
Computers, iPads, tablets, smartphones and
the connection to the internet everywhere
means its becoming less and less likely that
you will pull out a piece of paper and write.
But research suggests handwriting makes you
smarter. So leave the computer on your desk
during your next meeting and write your
notes.
6. Take a multi-vitamin daily.
Your car needs oil, your smartphone needs a
battery, and your brain needs nutrients. A
daily multi-vitamin will ensure that you get
your body what it needs. And it will help your
vitamin with a healthy smoothie to get your
day off to a great start.

Kids enjoy learning in outdoor classes
If it does not rain, outdoor classes in the
Mai Kindergarten in Hau Giang Province.
The kids learn how to dig up the soil, to sow,
weed, water and harvest vegetable and
flowers.
For over last four years now, the school has
used more than 70sq.m as a garden for kids
to grow vegetables and flowers, said school
principal Nguyen Thi Hong Tham.
Kids love the garden and they learn a lot from
it, she said.
For instance, they learn that certain types of
vegetables or flowers are grown in different
seasons and weather conditions.
The garden is divided into plots so that each
one is suitable for different group under
three, 3-4, and 4-5 years old.
Growing a garden and conducting outdoor
classes for kindergarteners is an iniative of
Nguyen Thi Thuy My, whos worked as a
kindergarten teacher for almost 12 years.
My, who is also mother of a 10-year-old girl,
said that her parents and parents-in-law were
farmers living in the countryside, but her child
was not familiar with vegetables and farm
animals.
I was unhappy to see that my daughter did
not know much about fruits and vegetables
whenever we visited her grandparents, M
said.
When I tried to explain things about farming
fruits and vegetables, she was very surprised
and very eager to learn more, M said,
adding that she regrets not teaching her
daughter all this earlier.
Her daughters curiosity and excitement
inspired M to do something for students
born and are living in urban areas. They are
much more used to office buildings, houses,

In urban areas, images are used to help kids
learn about fruits and vegetables, My said,
adding that the conventional teaching
method did not make the subject interesting
for kids, and they were easily distracted.
However, when the kids attended outdoor
and focused on the lessons.
school. During the outdoor classes, kids are
shown how to sow seeds, grow seedlings, and
water them. In the following days, they will
remove weeds to make room for their
vegetable to grow well. They are also asked to
observe the differences as the plants grow
and get ready for harvesting.
We sometimes record the kids during such
outdoor activities and show them the clips
later, M said, adding that the clips were very
useful teaching aids.
Teachers would combine the visual aid
illustrations with more detailed information
and deliver messages like: Remove the weed
carefully to avoid hurting the flowers; Put
rubbish in the bin; Dont water too much. Lets
save water.
We aim to help kids form good habits and
routines, My said.
Le Thi Hoai Thu, the mother of a student in
Mys class, said that after school, her child was
very happy as she showed her the vegetables
that she had nursed and cultivated at school.
Im happy too to see my child learn and be
able to do new things, Thu said.
Ngo Thi Tu Ngoc, vice principal of the Hoa Mai
Kindergarten, said the idea to get kids closer
to nature was not new, but it was something
very suitable and valuable.
Children can see different plants, fruits and
vegetables around them, but they dont learn
much more about how they grow. Improving
their knowledge of nature through practice is
a good way to nurture their love for nature
and get them engaged in protecting the
environment.
Dy con qua cc cu chuyn ng ngn liu c

Whether Educating Children Through Fables Dy con qua cc cu chuyn ng ngn liu
is anachronistic c li thi?
Over the past few years, there have been a
number of articles and reports involving
around the search for a method of effective
parenting. Most parents and education activists
tended to follow educational values derived
from different cultures such as America, Japan,
England, Australia and China, especially lessons
from the Jewish community.
However, there is a traditional teaching
approach of our ancestors that many people do
not notice. That is the way of teaching children
through fables.
Like folk poems and folk songs, fables have
been integrated stories about animals and
plants to convey morals which are considered
to be hard for parents to express to their
children. If you want to teach some morals for
children, for instance, the story Tortoise and
the Hare teaches children that they should not
be subjective and need to be patient. On the
other hand, the The dog and the bone teaches
them that greed should be eradicated. The "The
sheaf of chopsticks" is also suitable for teaching
them about unity. There are hundreds of such
stories collected by our ancestors throughout
history.
Back in time to the 2000s or sooner, you easily
caught sight of fables in books or magazines
and heard them through parents before
bedtime. The barber has a special attraction to
children through funny fables and the elderly in
the village like a treasure of fairy tales and
fables; they are willing to tell their stories to
children on bright moonlight nights.

Fables are the simplest tools for conveying the
good things to your childhood.(Photo from the
internet)
You can even forget these stories as growing
up; however, one thing that indelibly engraved
in your mind is that they lead you to good things
in your life. You can make good friends, support
them and stay away from bad habits in life.
Although morals can be learned from friends,
teachers, schools, and society, fables are the
simplest tool for conveying the good things to
your childhood.
These fables have been still high rated in
education programs of elementary schools and
kindergarten. However, society has been much
changed so that storytelling habits were not
popular anymore. Instead, the application of
new methods and more modern approaches
from abroad have been common. Most of the
lessons are conveyed directly rather than
hidden in small stories.
For example, to teach children do not lie or
make up stories, you will tell them the harmful
effects of bad lies or let them imagine a specific
situation in life to understand and know that
they should not do that. There is no lack of good
stories that you can use instead such as "The
Shepherd Boy" and "Bon buys candy". As a
matter of fact, you should be also an example
for your own children to follow.
It is normally difficult to convey meaningful
messages and good moral ideas just through
the stories but it is needed to repeat them more
times in many different manners and

Spring all came around
Doors opened and greeted
Lassies in new clothes
Pink cheeks, joyful smiles
(A spring poem by Nguyen Binh)
The Tet atmosphere has been in the air in every
corner, and everything in 2016 shall be bid
goodbye and welcome the new year 2017 along
with new clothes, smiles, and new hopes in the
spring words of Nguyen Binh. Being a lover of
his poetry, I'm always optimistic and welcome
the new. But it can be said we, in 2016, have
experienced a lot of volatility and concerns. As
a person working in the field of education and
also a designing engineer, I would like to share
a little feeling to the old year and a few words
to the new year with the young.
Nearly 8 years of university teaching and the
opportunity to go to many places, be in contact
with many people, I have also seen a lot of
difficulties that people are suffering, but I
realized that 2016 has been the year our
homeland devastated the worst by human-
made and natural disasters in which human-
made ones probably outweigh. And how the
reactions of the students against these impacts
have been, do you know? Very few students
have had their own voice and they are learning
in a dogmatic way, and have not dared to tell
the truth the fact is that their families in four
provinces in the central part where have been
affected directly by the disaster of
environmental pollution caused by the
Formosa company. Some people asked me:
"Mr.Sau, have we got preferential tuition as
affected such a loss?" It is very difficult for me
to answer it.
What we can see here ! we are really haunted
by begging and giving. It was this mentality that
there are still plenty of students are passive, do
not take the initiative in seeking a path for

information. Students still see faculty as the
only source of knowledge for their occupations,
and as the truth of success.
Talking about disadvantages of education or
society will be redundant because there have
been many articles with specific analysis on this
issue and the suggestions for the young
intellectuals what they should do in this difficult
period. The urgent message in 2017, what
would we do so that each of us will be better?
In my opinion you should learn English. For
engineering majors, you should find drawings,
and videos from Youtube to watch. That's my
way to feel excited about English, and once
being excited, then we will learn better.

participating in infrastructure projects in the US
and comparing to the situation in Vietnam, I
realized one thing that technical areas and
urban infrastructure fields have not been taken
seriously, make without adequate attention.
Big ideas need to start from the smallest details,
the big picture is drawn from small strokes.
That is the fact suggesting what young
engineers should learn about and how to
design in order to approach the levels of higher
standards as other countries. Therefore, one
more advice for students is to learn from
the basics, enjoy each figure you design and
every detail of drawings you create, and to
really understand it. Following that, you would
study more about urban planning and
infrastructure design in the conception of
humane manner and in the purpose of serving
community. To make it short, we should be
proud of what we finish as well as what refuse
to do. That goes along with your expertise
knowledge, the requirements of investors for
some non-technical elements and your refusal
skills in some cases. Anh these abilities will help
you become more mature and be seasoned in
the role of a design consultant.
In my opinion, this time, at the end of a year, we
should go to the bookstore and buy books to
read on Tet holiday and ponder over things for

school violence originates from the impact of
media violence. Personally, I do not accept
this theory; as a matter of fact, entertainment
is just entertainment, it does not construct
your kids personalities instead of education.
Ill give you some example
You want your kids to be kind, gentle, and
non-aggressive, so teach them how to love
others, respects others lives as their own;
even a life of an ant.
You want them to be honest; point out the
hideousness of deception, fraud, losing credit
from friends, and family.
You want them to be obedient. Just keep calm
and listen when they made mistakes; be
patient to explain to them why they should
not do that. Dont be over-stressed or
impotent when their mistakes could be
repeated several times.
There are thousands of examples that I can
give you, but what Im trying to tell you that
the parents should give first priority of
teaching the lessons of virtue and morality for
children; and these lessons would follow
them through all their life. Why the virtue and
morality should be given in priority? Because
a good man contributes his heart in creating
of a peaceful society; and what the modern
society lacked of are not talented or intelligent
men, but the virtual one. And I assure that you
want to live in the society when you got
accident, an unknown pedestrian would come
and make an emergency call or somebody
would stand up and protect you when you got
into troubles with bad guys. Moreover, those
good guys would help to eliminate the
indifference and apathy of society; and were
not looking for good men, or waiting for them,
but well create them through education.
Another essential part of education is
knowledge; no matter if youre rich or poor,
the best gift that a parent should give their
children is knowledge from books. Perhaps
when I come to this point, some parents may
reject this; as in the time of technology,

how you love your children in a right way.
Because in the parents eyes, kids are always
kids, and dont be afraid of losing them; we
should be afraid that theyre not growing up.
Education is our greatest opportunity to give
an irrevocable gift to the next generation,
said Ernie Fletcher; this is one of my favorite
quotes. In my viewpoints, education begins
from the family; and the inherited wealth that
could be given from parents is the virtue and
knowledge. And please stop asking them to
become what you want them to be; let them
learn and grow up naturally as they are. There
is an interesting quote from the book To kill a
mocking bird of Harper Lee that I really love
and I guess it would become a lodestar for
you to teach your kids, followings,
When a child asks you something, answer
him, for goodness sake. But don't make a
production of it. Children are children, but
they can spot an evasion faster than adults,
and evasion simply muddles 'em.
You can accept this or not; but please read
slowly and think carefully what I said. I hope
these can help you out and change your mind.

Initiated by Singapore Polytechnic in 2011,
Learning Express aims at educating and
preparing students for international
integration, especially in the ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC).
According to the organizers, Learning Express
is a multinational, multicultural and
multidisciplinary program that aims to solve a
specific problem in a particular locality
through innovative ideas and the application
of knowledge gained at school.
Students participating in the program have
the opportunity to develop academic and
real-world skills, and contribute significantly
to the sustainable development of local
communities.
Annually, Singapore Polytechnics students
will be taken to ASEAN countries to immerse
and practically apply what they have learned
to a specific project in a local community.

home but it is alive and well in this city that fell
to the Communist North Vietnamese Army
almost four decades ago, evident in the
upscale Phu My Hung neighborhood where a
house, a yard, a state-of-the-art barbecue, a
jeep and a Domino's Pizza at the corner fulfill
the aspirations of a burgeoning upper middle
class. Perhaps this is what is meant by losing
the war and winning the peace. Or perhaps

Stroll around Phu My Hung in District 7 and
what is most striking aside from the
proliferation of coffee shops serving iced
lattes is the number of schools with names
like "Little Genius" or "Homework Center" or
"Cornerstone Institute" promising to give the
offspring of the upwardly mobile the
foundations of success, including excellent
English, perfect SAT scores and habits of hard
work that will take them to the summit.
American students scratching their heads
about why college entrance has become so
arduous, with ever smaller percentages of
applicants admitted to the best schools, could
do worse than take a look at this little corner
of Vietnam.
A 13-year-old Vietnamese boy managing the
reception at the Homework Center told me in
perfect English (he started learning it at age
two) that children attend after school
between the hours of 3 p.m. and 9 p.m.,
bringing their daily studies to around 12
hours. He spoke with earnest precision and
eerie assurance. And where, I asked, would he
like to go to college? "M.I.T." he shot back
without hesitation.
At Little Genius motto "Kids want to fly!"
the push for academic excellence begins at an
early age with a computer room designed for
three-year-olds and filled with state-of-the-art

those who have close relationships with VIPs
3) those who are willing to pay money for the
posts at state agencies and 4) highly capable
candidates.
As such, capability and qualification of
candidates are the fourth most important
factors candidates need to have.
People have every reason to think the exams
are fishy. In 2014, hundreds of candidates
attended the entrance exam to the Ministry of
Industry and Trades Market Management
Agency. Only 10 passed the exams and most
of them were relatives of VIP officials in the
ministry.
When asked why university graduates today
like working for state agencies, a labor expert
noted that the jobs at state agencies are
wanted by people who want easy and stable
jobs. However, he said the major problem is
the economic recession, which has led to a
decrease in job offers in the non-state
economic sector.

He doesn't say how he learned to pronounce
ancient Greek, but since nobody speaks it any
more, this probably didn't really matter to him
too much. In any case, one must admire the
man's ingenuity, and above all, his freedom
from conventional ideas about how languages
"should" be learned.
Though we tend to put such people into a
categoryof their own, labeling it "genius", the
truth is that one of the things that separates a
so-called genius from ordinary mortals is
simply the fact that they don't limit themselves
by doing everything the way most other folks
do, or by the way that "authorities" say it must
be done: they find, or create, their own
methods, and do whatever works well for
them.
When we begin to learn a foreign language, we
usually use a book whose first chapters are
filled with "baby stuff": "Hello, how are you? My
name is David.", or "The cat is in the house. My
brother lives in Rome.", and such things. Of
course, that would seem easier to learn than
picking up a regular book in your target
language and, onlywith the help of an English
translation, working your way through it
sentence by sentence, the way Schliemann did.
But then, he taught himself to speak ancient
Greek in such a way, so who is to say that his
method wouldn't work for us if we wanted to
learn French, Italian, or German? We could
always take a few classes with a native speaker
for the pronunciation, and to take our first
steps in conversation.
And the grammar? Well, by comparing the
foreign language text to an English translation,
we would get a good idea of grammatical
structures; the fact that such structures would
repeat themselves quite often during the
course of an entire book would mean that we
would have ample opportunity to "absorb"
them, and to learn to use them properlyon our
own.
There are really only two reasons why this
method might not work for you. First of all, it
would take a lot of thought, and a lot of

discipline, to work your way through a foreign
language book this way. You would have to
basically construct your own grammar book as
you go along, taking notes comparing
structures in both languages, making your own
lists of prepositions, pronouns, verb forms,
etc., as you encounter them, and so on.
Of course, when you buy a standard language-
learning book, all the grammar has already
been "spelled out" for you, which makes it
seem a lot easier. On the other hand, I can't
help but think that if you did do it Schliemann's
way, collecting and organizing such
grammatical information on your own might
well help you to learn it considerably faster,
and to understand it a lot better.
The other reason why this method may appear
to be beyond our abilities is merely because it
is so unusual: "Nobody does it that way!" may
be the way you respond when you read about
Schliemann's procedure. You may feel that if it
is so uncommon, it can't be so great, or maybe
that it just couldn't work for a "normal person"
like yourself.
This is more of a psychological block than
anything else, and overcoming it could be a
rather mind-expanding experience. It is true
that especially at the beginning, when you
don't have any vocabulary atall, the idea of
actually beginning to read a book (albeit with
the aid of a translation) in the other language
would seem daunting, almost to the point of
appearing to be impossible. But I suspect that
if you actually tried it this way, after a week or
so, it wouldn't seem so hard at all, and you may
well make rapid progress.
And if the book you use (or I should say,
"books", since you would have one in your
target language, as well as a translation in your
native tongue) is about something which
greatly interests you, by the time you finish it,
youwill not only have learned a lot about the
new language, but also a good bit of
fascinating information.
I myself have not tried this method yet, but at
some time in the future, I certainly will. I may

literacy tool. These collaborations span across

and teachers in elementary through high

THE SCIENCE OF MEMORY
The success of visual notetaking is backed by
science. The Picture Superiority Effect refers to
the phenomenon that we remember pictures
better and longer than words or text. If
students read text alone, three days later they
only remember 10 percent of the
informationbut adding a picture to the text
increases recall to 65 percent. And dual-coding
theory says that our brains process and store
visual information differently than verbal or
text-based information. When students use
images and text in notetaking, it gives them
two different ways to pull up the information,
doubling their chances of recall.
Yet, when I first learned about visual notes, a
teacher in my building made a student redo
multiple worksheets for "doodling" in the
margins, and other students would echo that
they would get in trouble with their teacher for
drawing.
Why arent more teachers providing students
with this option? And just as importantly, why
are students actually being reprimanded for
their natural instinct to record ideas visually?
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
One recent experience helped me realize the
powerful ripple effect of teacher leadership
and collaboration. I met Ms. G., who teaches
English at the Juvenile Detention Center in
Wauwatosa, Wis., during a notetaking
workshop I led this summer. She invited me to
technique in a simple way.
A dozen teenagers settled in and opened
Beverley Naidoos Out Of Bounds, an
anthology of short stories about apartheid. For
this class, they would read aloud and draw out
the storyline on whiteboards. Ms. G. gently
encouraged studentsthere were all levels of

reading ability, ranging from elementary to
high schoolwhen they stumbled on a name
or difficult word. When she stopped the
reader, she asked, What just happened, and
what pictures could we draw to show that?
In notes left on the board from the previous
class, I could see that Ms. G. taught her
workshop. They had gotten the hang of using
literal images to communicate complex
concepts and emotions. They had made
effective use of stick figures to show
relationships between characters and used
words and arrows to add clarity and meaning
to their drawings. They had even used
different fonts to stress the importance of
main concepts and word bubbles to show who
was saying what or to give meaning or detail to
an idea.
For those 45 minutes, the marker became a
transfer of power and a voice in the classroom.
Most of the students offered to read a section
of the book out loud or suggested visuals that
would bring life to the text. Personal
expression, demonstration of comprehension,
and confident engagement were visible
through a dry-erase marker. Students who
would have not been able to engage with the
text in other ways could still do so through the
drawings used to represent concepts.
Developing visual vocabulary is just like
increasing verbal or textual vocabularyit
takes practice to move it into working memory.
VISUALIZING SUCCESS
The class left me with a reminder that visual
notetaking could have infinite possibilities for
so many studentsminority students,
students on the autistic spectrum, students
with dysgraphia or dyslexia, English-language
learnersif we could just put this tool into
their toolboxes as another means to
demonstrate their understanding.
Can a simple literacy tool like visual notetaking

increase personal agency for incarcerated
students who struggle academically? Ms. G.
provides proof: Since that first class, she has
used visual notes as an integral part of helping
her students learn vocabulary from the books
they read and give students the option to
respond to a writing prompt with a visual
answer first to help them think more deeply
and communicate more clearly. One English-
language learner who struggled with written
definitions of vocabulary drew out his
communicate the definitions correctly.
When teaching students to use visual notes, it
is so important to foster a safe space for
students to take risks and try. In workshops, I
find that the main obstacle for teachers is their
fear of drawing. Teachers use the "but-I-cant-
even-draw-a-stick-figure" excuse, but I
encourage them and let them know that it is
actually better if they draw poorly because it
isnt about artit is about ideas. If a teacher is
brave enough to step up to the board and
draw poorly while still communicating what
she needs to relay, it gives students
permission to do the same.
The author Margaret J. Wheatly writes, "A
leader is one who ... has more faith in people
than they do, and ... who holds opportunities
open long enough for their competence to re-
emerge." This is true for teacher and student
leadership as well. We should strive to show
space for them until their competence and
small but powerful way to enable students
and their teachersto take the lead.

You
College life is something that teaches us many
things. It tells us how irritating and annoying
can people be in the beginning; yet at the end
these people are the ones whom we call our
best buddies.
Here are 11 life lessons that you won't learn
from years at the university.
1. The courses and classes can't be used much
The guy who sits next to you in the office may
not have taken the same course that you did.
The two of you may belong to different
academic backgrounds, still you both earn the
same respect and money. No one asks you
what you learned in college, but you have to
learn things on your own and finish the task
which your boss "assumes" that you learned in
college. College is over and now life is beyond
the lectures and textbooks.
2. In life, skills matter
The person who supervises you might just be
younger than you. However, you will call him
"sir". In college a junior, who may be elder to
you, respected you because you were senior.
That was college, where respect was given. In
real life, respect is earned.
3. The art of communicating
You may had escaped the Personality
Development classes in college but in life you
realize the importance of communicating well.
You might need to propose a girl, you have to
ask for a salary hike, or you may want to
discuss issues with your neighbors.
Communication skills are something which can
make or break you.
4. How to judge people correctly
In college a person is your friend or foe, but in
life you just can't guess what relationship you
a "nobody" at the time of need. A good friend
at the office may cut off your chance of

promotion because he has to make his own
way. So you have to learn how to identify the
traits of people around you. Actions may
contradict the words.
5. You check yourself: what you say, how you
say and to whom you say
In college you could abuse and fight with your
batch mates on one day and the other day you
found yourself busy with the same people
because you had to complete an assignment
together. But in life it is a different story. In
college your friends and the others knew what
you mean by your words, but in life people will
perceive you as per their perceptions, not as
per your words.
6. Networking and social connections always
help
In college your friends could be your world. But
in life you can't sustain without networking
and social connections. You need a job
referral; you need a new house; you need to
start a business; you need to start your social
activists group. This all means you need good
relations with people.
7. Saving money isn't easy
The quest to explore life, the thrill of being 100
feet in the sky, the joy of savoring the red wine
in a vineyard, the scuba diving experience with
the corals and sea creatures. For any of these
adventures, you need some savings, which
isn't easy. Your paycheck will always have
somewhere else to gobuying food, clothes,
paying the bills, visiting your parents. And
you'll notice there won't always be a lot left
over after this.
8. In relationships, actions speak
In college life, a romantic relationship thrived
on sweet words. But in real life actions speak.
You look at the person; you observe his/her
actions and notice how he/she makes you feel.
So be careful about the words you use, but
also be careful about your actions and
gestures.
9. Making mistake is fine but it must be a new
one each time

Each mistake allows you to learn something. It
leaves you with a lesson. But to succeed you
must make a new mistake each time, so that
you always get a new lesson. In college it was
okay to ask the same silly question to the same
professor again and again, but in life if you ask
the same questions or make the same mistake
again and again you will labeled as "dumb."
10. It is important that you keep marching
ahead. Life is a journey, not a destination
When you were in school, you only wanted
good grades. Once you reached college, you
wanted to be famous. When you got your job,
your next aim was to get a promotion. After
being promoted you wanted a free holiday
ticket with family, and so on. Life moves on and
on and every moment you have new
expectations and aspirations. So just pay
attention to the little joys and keep moving
ahead.
11. Everyone is really busy, so you need to take
care of yourself
Everyone around you is fighting his/her own
fight. Even a five-year-old has his own
challenges and tasks to do. Everyone is busy
thinking about himself, so take care. Yes, you
need to love and care for the person whom
you see in the mirror because college is over
and your friends aren't there.

as promised. Six lecturers have been
dismissed.
In 2014, the school received 52 PhDs who
returned after finishing training courses,
including 46 PhDs who finished training
overseas. The new PhDs have helped increase
the proportion of lecturers with doctorates to
22 percent.
Most of the lecturers studied overseas with
granted either by the
government (under Programs No 322, 911 and
599), by foreign partners, or under the
cooperation programs between Da Nang
University and foreign schools.
While the lecturers were away from school,
they still received 40 percent of their salaries.
However, many lecturers, who studied with
the states money, did not come back after
finishing training courses.
Lecturer NPXN from the Information
Technology Faculty of the Da Nang University
of Education, a member school of the Da Nang
University, for example, has not returned,
though she was scheduled to finish the
training course in April 2013.
Da Nang University released two documents
requesting NPXN to return and report about
her study. In October 2013, she submitted her
letter of resignation.
The school once again asked the lecturer to
continue the job at the school as she promised
before leaving for studying. However, she has
not returned.
Da Nang University has four times asked NNN,
a lecturer at Da Nang University of Technology,

In other cases, lecturers returned after they
finished studying, but later left the school.
NQM, for example, after obtaining a doctorate
in the UK, came back and worked as a

Also according to Nam, the tuition is relatively

Analysts, noting that the number of students
wishing to go to university has decreased in
the last few years, pointed out that the
majority of students still want to follow higher
education.
The 400 Vietnamese universities and junior
colleges enroll 540,000 students every year.
The p coincides with a report by the Ministry of
Education and Training that 500,000 students
have passed the university entrance exams
each year since 2010.
Meanwhile, vocational schools and
intermediate schools can fulfill less than 50
percent of their enrolment plans.
Nguoi Dua Tin quoted Tran Anh Tuan, director
of the HCM City Human Resource Forecasting
Center, as saying that one-third of the
students, who failed the entrance university
exams in the last few years, would rather
repeat the exams the following years than go
to vocational school.
Tran Anh Ngan, a parent in Hanoi, said
following university education would be a
must for her son.
If my son fails the exam to a domestic school,
I will enroll him in a school overseas, she said.

importantly, the lessons from the books will

It is management agencies which have to take
responsibility for the books, she said, adding
that no relevant agencies had expressed their
opinion about the cases.
Dr. Nguyen Tung Lam, a renowned educator in
Hanoi, commented that children were
surrounded by numerous rubbish books.
It is necessary to eliminate the books from the
market and to establish strict censorship at
publishing houses to be sure that such books
cannot hit the market, he said.
Dr. Vu Thu Huong, a lecturer at the Hanoi
University of Education, said the situation was
worrying.
The books with nonsensical content would
spoil children, while parents nowadays are too
busy to spend time to choose the right things

Something two teachers told Tran Dac Minh
Trung had a profound impact on the young
mans life at crucial turning points, with one
being conducive to his success at Harvard
University
A young Vietnamese man who once went
astray and was suicidal finally saw the light at
masters degree from Harvard University.
Tran Dac Minh Trung was always among the
top of his class in elementary and middle
school, but he grew rebellious during his high
school years due to noted pubertal changes.
The teenager began to spend time mingling
with bad friends and quickly veered out of the
reach of his family and teachers.
One day, Trung was summoned by a male
teacher, who told him candidly that he would
not go far in his academic studies and should
switch to vocational training instead.
The teachers advice dealt a devastating blow
to the young man and plunged him further
into an abyss of desperation.
After struggling through high school, Trungs
family enrolled him in a preparatory university
course in the Netherlands.
Living far away from home, Trungs mental
descent picked up speed and quickly spiraled
out of control.
When his family could no longer provide for
him, the young man resigned himself to doing
the dishes at a restaurant to earn money.
I was in a deadlock then. Once I sat atop a
bridge in Amsterdam and the thought of
flinging myself into the river beneath to relieve
my sufferings suddenly crossed my mind,
Trung recalled.

The private Hanoi Business and Technology
University has been told to stop training
general practitioners after the school called up
students who got an 18 score on the national
high-school finals. State-owned medical
schools only accept students with a 24 score or
higher.
Experts have once again warned about the
quality of future physicians as many medical
schools set very low scores for incoming
students.
The Hanoi Business & Technology University
said that students with 18 score would be
admitted to the general practice (GP) faculty.
Facing strong opposition from the public, the
school raised the minimum to 20.
However, the Ministry of Education and
Training (MOET) immediately asked the school
to stop enrolling students for the training
major. Nguyen Thi Kim Phung from the
ministry said that the school violated
regulations because there had been no final
decision by MOET and the Ministry of Health
(MOH) on whether to allow it to train general
practitioners.
A document released by inspectors on
December 23, 2015 says that the school would
be allowed to register the pharmacy training
major from 2016 if it fulfills the contract on
buying equipment for training worth VND23
billion, employs at least one more lecturer with
a masters degree in analysis and testing, and
reports to relevant ministries.
As for GP program, the two ministries will allow
it to register training if the school can expand

Nearly 270 Australian undergraduates will
enter short-term courses and internship
programmes in Vietnam in 2016 as part of the
New Colombo Plan Scholarship Programme,
unveiled the Australian Embassy on
September 4.
Accordingly, the number has soared 66.6
percent from 2015.
Students will participate in various fields of
knowledge and practical skills, including
business management, agriculture, health and
the humanities across 30 universities,
organisations and enterprises.
The Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, the
Foreign Trade University, Bach Mai and Cho
Ray hospitals and FPT Vietnam Company are
among the establishments named on the host
location list.
Australian Ambassador to Vietnam Hugh
fellows will come back home with insight into
the Southeast Asian country and new
friendships to contribute to the
comprehensive partnership between Vietnam
and Australia.
The Australian Government designed the New
Colombo Plan to offer opportunities for local
undergraduates to undertake semester-based
study and internships or mentorships in
participating Indo-Pacific countries. Next year,
5,800 students will be sponsored to live, study
and work in the region.

"I promised to myself that I will help my

A number of schoolgirls admitted that they
have never even had to tie their hair because
they have their mothers or school nursemaids
do it for them.
Also, some other students had trouble tying
their shoelaces.
Meanwhile, after learning how to fold clothes,
Nguyen Ngoc Tram, a student from class 5/3,
told herself to help her mother with the task.
"It's kind of simple," she expressed.
Gardening is fun
In late January, numerous students from
Nguyen Binh Khiem Elementary School joined
a fair where they sold fresh agricultural
products grown on their own after a month.
Le Thi Ngoc Diep, the school principal, said in
recent years the school has organized field
trips for students to visit vegetable gardens in
the city so that they could get used to
gardening.
"In the academic year of 2014-2015, our school
has started to put into operation a new block
with a nearly-400-square-meter rooftop," she
said. "We made the place a rooftop garden
with financial support from parents."
The garden has provided two seasons of
vegetables and brought in more than VND 20
million (US$932) from selling them for the
school.
"The money will be kept for growing more
vegetables," she added.
Nguyen Thi Thanh Cam, a school teacher, said
she was surprised to see her students so
passionate about their job.
"I thought that my urban students would not
be willing to farm," Cam said. "Though our
school gives the students gloves to protect and
keep their hands clean while working with soil,
some students even take them off to do their
job more easily."
"Many students volunteer to water the
vegetables in the morning so wholeheartedly
that some of them even skip breakfast."
Theo c Cm, vic trng rau vi nhau gip According to Cam, growing the plants together

As such, as there are more opportunities for
students to enter state-owned schools, putting
a squeeze on private schools.
Dang Ung Van, principal of Hoa Binh
University, also said that less prestigious state-
owned schools and private schools may face
problems this year in enrolling students.
In 2015, Hoa Binh had to launch four
enrolment campaigns, accepting students who
registered as their fourth choice, i.e. students
who failed to enroll in another three schools
and finally chose Hoa Binh.
Vu Phan, vice rector of Phuong Dong
University, also said that if state-owned
schools enrolled students based on students
learning records at high schools, the source of
students for private schools would dry up.
In the latest news, educators have predicted
that the required exam scores to be set by
universities and junior colleges would be the
same as last year or a little bit lower.
Tran Khac Thac from the Hanoi Water
Resources University predicted that except for
the most prestigious schools, the floor marks
to be set by other schools would be lower by
one or two scores than the previous year.

Schools have low budget for security
A lot of schools in HCM City have said that they
cannot recruit security guards because of the
low pay for the posts.
The headmaster of a nursery school in district
3 said the school could not employ any security
guard last academic year and the schools
teachers had to unwillingly work as security
guards in shifts.

their children back to their parents in the
afternoon.
Chung Bich Phuong, deputy head of the Tan
Phu districts education sub-department, said
every security guard can get VND1 million a
month because they are considered untrained
workers. The amount of money is just enough
to cover basic needs for 10 days.
Under the current regulations set by the
Ministry of Education and Training (MOET),
state-owned schools can employ no more than
three security guards and the workers must
finish high school.
However, it is difficult to find enough security
guards who have a high education level as
required. And it is nearly impossible to
compete with restaurants, cafes and karaoke
shops because of the modest pay schools can
offer.
Phuong pointed out that though schools can
only offer modest pay, they set high
requirements, because schools are a special
environment. Security guards at schools not
only have to protect facilities, but also ensure
safety for children.
The schools in districts 4 and 8, which are the
hot spots in HCM City, said they have to sign
to protect the schools because the internal
force is not enough to ensure safety for
teachers and children.

The headmaster of a secondary school in
district 4 said it was not an easy job to protect
schools with thousands of students. Many
schools are located in areas with bad security
conditions as they are surrounded by
unwholesome entertainment venues.
In principle, the schools under bad security
conditions need more security guards than
other schools. However, they cannot recruit
more than three security guards because of
the limited budgets.
Pham Thuy Ha, headmaster of Nguyen Van
Troi Primary School, said she employs six
security guards. However, only three of them
receive salary from the state budget.
We have extra income from day-boarding
services and from leasing classrooms to
foreign language evening classes, she
explained.

The learners - small children and adults take
special training courses designed to stimulate
the power latent in their brains. They are asked
to touch things and guess the colors of the
things blindfold. The exercises are advertised
to help people stimulate their central
hemisphere.
The images show that teachers can help
learners obtain extraordinary abilities. For
example, learners can read news just by
touching the newspapers.
The training centers said that there are always
parts in human brains that may never be used
in their lives.
Therefore, ads say that the learners at the class
not only can read newspapers and guess
colors blindfold, but can also become the
people with a genius brain. They will be smart
people who can do things that others cannot.
In Hanoi, there are two well-known centers
that provide such training courses. One of
them is on Le Van Huu street and the other at
Vinhomes Riverside.
The centers have been operational in HCMC
and other cities and provinces. Urban parents
rush to bring their children to centers, hoping
that training there would help turn their
children into supermen.
What do scientists say?
While many parents applaud the training,
believing that this is a scientific method,

scientists have voiced their concern about its ill
effects.
Le Trung Tuan, director of the Institute of
Psychological Drug Uses, warned that bringing
children to the training courses for
hemisphere stimulus is an serious mistake
which will bring serious consequences.
Tuan said he personally agrees with the view
that humans only use some parts of the brain.
However, he stressed that the use of these
parts must be natural, not influenced from
outside.
He said that childrens brains will have to work
contrary to natural laws. And once the brains
bear pressure from this, this will cause a big
impact on childrens development and may
cause serious diseases, such as depression,
the lack of ability to control the brain and
schizophrenia.
In related news, urban parents are rushing to
bring their children to a dermatoglyphics
analysis service with the hope of
understanding more about their childrens
abilities. They believe that if they understand
their children better, they will be able to help
the children develop abilities and minimize the
disadvantages.

Vietnam has made a big leap in the last two
decades by offering more opportunities for
people to access higher education.
The number of university students has
increased from 2 percent to 20 percent with
200 students for every 10,000 people.
However, the high unemployment rate of
university graduates and the decreasing
number of students registering to study
universities since 2010 show the situation is
getting worse.
A university lecturer noted that while social
and economic conditions have seen big
changes over the last many years, Vietnam's
higher education remains unchanged.
Students nowadays are called "i-generation
students", i.e., learners who can use digital
telecommunication devices proficiently and
have the opportunities to access many
information sources.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese schools still apply
"traditional teaching methods", the lecturer
noted.
"Classrooms, lecture halls, libraries remain the
major teaching instruments. Reading lectures
remain the major teaching method.
Examinations and tests remain the major
solution to assess students' abilities," he said.
The teaching methods and instruments have
become out of date. No teacher has the fund
of knowledge huge enough to compare with
the knowledge students can find in mass
media just with computer mouse clicks.
Higher education is no longer very attractive to
students.

said he has to follow university education at
any costs, but just to obtain bachelor's degree,
while he does not hope he can receive
necessary knowledge and skills from
university.
"The only thing universities can provide is the
bachelor's degree. If you want to get
knowledge and other things for your job
promotion and successes in your life, you need
to find elsewhere," he said.
In fact, Bao noted, bachelor's degree is the
minimum level of degree workers have to have
when applying for jobs.
"There are numerous candidates who have
bachelor's degree," he explained. "Therefore,
in order to be more outstanding, you need to
have master's degree or doctorate."
"This has resulted in the so-called 'degree
inflation' in Vietnam," he said. "The education
degrees to be granted by Vietnamese schools
will not be reliable in employers' eyes."
What will happen if Vietnamese students
cannot find what they want at universities?
Pham Thi Ly, an analyst, in her article in Nguoi
Lao Dong, wrote that Vietnamese students
would either try to find the things they want
from other sources rather than schools, or
they will become lost.

Sleep also helps us to generalise what weve
learnt, giving us the flexibility to apply the skills
to new situations.
So although you cant soak up new material,
you might instead be able to cement the facts
or skills learned throughout the day.
Smell enhancer
So far, at least four methods have shown
promise.
The simplest strategy harks back to the
research of a 19th Century French nobleman
named the Marquis dHervey de Saint-Denys.
As he explored ways to direct his dreams, the
Marquis found that he could bring back certain
memories with the relevant smells, tastes or
sounds.
In one experiment, he painted a scantily clad
woman while chewing an orris root; when his
servant then placed the root in his mouth as
he slept, the tart flavour brought back visions
of the same beautiful lady in the foyer of a
theatre.
Another time, he asked the conductor of an
orchestra to play certain waltzes whenever he
danced with two particularly attractive
women.
He then rigged up a clock to a music box, so
that it played the same tunes during the night,
which apparently brought their handsome
figures to his sleeping mind.
In the near future, technology may offer
further ways of upgrading the brains sleep
cycles.
Memory consolidation is thought to occur
during specific, slow, oscillations of electrical
activity.
So the idea here is to subtly encourage those
brain waves without waking the subject.
Jan Born, at the University of Tubingen, has
been at the forefront of these experiments.
In 2004, he found that he could help amplify
those signals using transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS), which passes a small
electric current across the skull, successfully

improving his subjects performance on a
verbal memory test.
More recently, he has turned to an even less-
invasive form of stimulation, which uses a
skullcap of electrodes to measure neural
activity, while headphones deliver sounds that
are in sync with the brain waves.
You deepen the slow wave sleep and make it
more intense, says Born.
Its a more natural way of getting the system
into a rhythm, he says.
If the idea of going to sleep with a
cumbersome headset doesnt appeal, Miriam
Reiner at the Technion Institute of Technology
in Haifa, Israel may have a more attractive
solution.
She hopes to use a form of neurofeedback,
which allows subjects to control their neural
activity while awake.
In her setup, an electrode attached to the
subjects head feeds into a simple computer
game, in which the subject is advised to drive a
car with the power of their thoughts.
When the electrode records the right
frequency of brainwaves, normally associated
with memory consolidation during sleep, they
accelerate; when they dont, it slows down.
The idea is to kick-start memory consolidation
straight after learning.
It gives the sleeping brain a head-start as it sets
about reorganising the days events.
Needless to say, we will need to see bigger
trials with many more subjects before these
techniques should be recommended for
everyday use.
Since the experiments have so far used
somewhat artificial tests of learning and
memory, it would also be useful to see how
they fare on more useful tasks; Reiner is
beginning to take a few steps in this direction
by testing whether her neurofeedback can
help students learn the guitar.
Diekelmann also thinks that we need to
confirm that these memory hacks dont have
unexpected consequences.
 If you enhance one set of memories, maybe
youd impair another set, she says.

When you play games, you can use points and
competition as a motivator, but not for kids
under six who may find the competition too
stressful. For them, just playing the game is
motivating enough. You can also sometimes
award extra credit, but use it sparingly so that
it remains extra and a special reward. Also if
you use it too much, children can have so
much extra credit that it sways the actual
grades too much.
GET THEIR HANDS DIRTY LITERALLY AND
FIGURATIVELY
Children like to work with their hands and
whatever you can do to get the items they are
learning about in their hands is useful and fun
for them. This can be anything from having a
sensory table filled with sand and beach items
when you want to teach them summer words
to having them each bring in a piece of fruit
when you are teaching fruit words. Anytime
you can get young children up and doing
instead of listening (often passively) you are
getting their hands dirty in the learning
process.
GET THEM MOVING
Movement is a vital component to motivating
children. The best way to prevent children
from zoning out is to get them up out of their
seats at least once each class period. Even if
you just require them to come up to you
instead of you going to them for help, the
movement can help get them out of the trance
that they sometimes get from sitting in one
spot too long. Grouping the children for study
projects and activities helps as well. If you can,
let them move the desks around or sit on the
floor to change things up as well. Many games
involve movement without the children
needing to leave their seats, such as miming,
moving certain body parts and passing things
around as part of a game or race. Therefore
even teachers with large classes and no space
to move can use this technique, albeit to a
more limited degree.

textbook
President-elect Barack Obama's speeches are
proving a best-seller in Japan -- as an aid to
learning English.
An English-language textbook, "The Speeches
of Barack Obama," has sold more than
400,000 copies in two months, a big hit in a
country where few hit novels sell more than a
million copies a year.
"Speeches by presidents and presidential
candidates are excellent as listening tools to
learn English, because their contents are good
and their words are easy to catch," said Yuzo
Yamamoto of Asahi Press, which produced the
best-selling text book.
The 95-page paperback features Obama's
speeches in English from the 2004 Democratic
National Convention and during the
Democratic Party primaries.
The 1,050 yen ($12) book, which includes a CD
of the speeches, tops the bestseller list on
bookseller Amazon's Japanese
Website, www.amazon.co.jp
"Readers have sent in postcards saying that
when they heard the speeches, they were so
moved and cried even though they don't
understand English very well," Yamamoto
said. He said lawmakers from Japan's main
opposition Democratic Party had bought the
book to study Obama's speeches.
Following Obama's inauguration on Tuesday,
Asahi Press plans to issue a sequel that
includes his inaugural address, as well as
President John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural
speech. It will also feature a reading of
President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg
address of 1863.

Under the national program on teaching &
learning foreign languages in the 2008-2020
period, set by the Ministry of Education and
Training (MOET), students learn foreign
languages from the third to 12th grade.
However, in many cities and provinces,
students began learning English in Grade 1
under programs set up by schools in
cooperation with foreign language centers.
Nguyen Chi Anh, a parent in Long Bien district
in Hanoi, said he has been informed by the
school about two English learning programs.
I had to pay nearly VND5 million for the
English course in October alone. This included
VND3 million for Language Link tuition,
VND350,000 for books, VND400,000 for the
bilingual program, and VND130,000 for books
for the bilingual program, he said.
Also according to Anh, though parents were
informed that the learning was not
compulsory, all parents registered for the
course.
Anh said what worries him the most is not the
big sum of money, but whether his son can
follow the program.
My son now struggles with reading and wring
in Vietnamese. I am not sure if learning English
at this moment is a good idea, he said.
Ngo Van Luc, whose daughter is a third grader
at a primary school in Dong Da district, said the
girl has two English subjects, and that she

Though she has seven books in English and
many English lessons a week, she is very bad
at English. Sometimes my wife raises
questions to her, but she cannot answer, he
complained.
According to Luc, his daughter began learning
English when she was in the first grade. The
tuition was VND8 million a year.
The quality of English teaching remains
questionable. There are many different
teaching programs and no one has examined
the quality of the programs.
Nguyen Thi Quynh Trang, whose daughter is a
first grader of a primary school in Hai Ba Trung
district, said she has no information about why
the school cooperated with this foreign
language center, but not others, and why it
decided to apply this program, but not others.
They (the teachers) just told me that the
program is the best, she said.
Pham Xuan Tien, deputy director of the Hanoi
Education Department, said that foreign
languages are not a compulsory subject for
first and second graders.

23 million pupils return to school
Nearly 23 million pupils nationwide attended
the opening ceremony for the 2016-2017
academic year on September 5.
The Ministry of Education and Training
reported that nearly 23 million students would
be attending schools this year, including 4.87
million at kindergartens, 15.7 million at
primary and high schools, and 2.46 million at
colleges. The country has about 1.3 million
teachers and lecturers.
In the direction sent to schools nationwide
before the new school year, Minister of
Education and Training, Phung Xuan Nha
pointed out five tasks of the sector, with
improved better teaching standards the
central point.
"This will not be the key task for only the 2016-
2017 school year but for many years to come,"
Nha stressed. "The 1.3 million teachers will
decide the success of the reforms which we
recently began."
The education minister said enthusiasm alone
among teachers was not enough.
"Theyre also required to have proper
qualifications, competence, and
determination," he said. "Well carry out tighter
inspections of teacher quality at schools and
sack teachers who dont meet requirements."
In a letter sent to teachers and pupils on the
occasion of the new school year, President
Tran Dai Quang also said the sector needed to
focus on improving the quality of teachers and
administration staff, tighten discipline and pay
attention to teaching non-academic subjects
such as civic, personal and social development
and soft skills.
The president also asked the education sector
to invest more in education and training in
remote and border areas and islands, as well
as for revolutionary veterans.

Scientists are educated to have a deep
mental abilities to non-human animals.
Anthropomorphism is regarded as a scientific
sin. However, the paradox is that scientists are
all Darwinists, and Darwins great contribution
to psychology was the argument for
the continuity of mind across species, not the
uniqueness of humans. He was explicit that
animals and humans shared a wide range of
emotions, including jealousy.
Many contemporary theories of jealousy focus
on its development during infancy and
childhood. A paper published in the journal
PLOS One takes a leaf out of such studies to
conduct an experiment with dogs. The papers
findings suggest that dogs show behaviour
indicative of jealousy when their owners
interacted with lifelike stuffed dogs, and not
when they interacted with other, non-doglike
objects.
Jealousy is thought to develop after basic
emotions such as anger and fear, and is
thought to require relatively sophisticated
cognitive capacities including elements of self-
consciousness. The requirement of self-
consciousness, in combination with the
natural reluctance of scientists to be caught
anthropomorphising, makes any claim of
jealousy in animals controversial.
The scepticism over the existence of
sophisticated emotions such as jealousy, guilt
or empathy in animals is on reflection odd.
Most scientists are happy to grant animals
basic emotions such as anger and fear. It
would not be anthropomorphic to say that an

There is very clear evidence that basic
emotions are tied to particular sites in the
brain, and these are the same across species.
The same link of emotion to location is not the
case with secondary emotions. This may be
because secondary emotions are the result of
more distributed networks of neurons than
primary emotions. However, mammal brains
(including humans) are remarkably similar in
structure and have all the same bits in all the
same places, so from an anatomical point of
view there is no reason to preclude animals
having secondary emotions. Humans do not
seem to be uniquely designed to support
secondary emotions.
Being certain about the mental state of any
person (let alone a member of another
species) other than ourselves is problematic as
we cannot know their mental states directly.
This is known as the problem of other minds.
However, we can have reasonable confidence
that a range of species experience basic
emotions such as anger, as the behaviour and
even facial expressions associated with basic
emotions are consistent and recognisable
across species.
But emotions such as jealousy do not have any
unique behaviours or facial expressions
associated with them. Jealousy can manifest as
the folk psychology and human projection
that often suggests otherwise, there will
always be arguments about whether a dog can
show jealousy, empathy, or guilt, because of
the difficulty of measuring emotion in any non-
human animal.

Canal stoppage main cause of flooding in
Saigon
The flooding in HCM City is becoming more
serious despite money spent on solutions to
prevent floods. The filling of canals with
rubbish and the illegal building on waterway
banks have both slowed canal drainage.
A report of the HCMC Anti-flooding Center
shows that the number of roads suffering from
inundation in heavy rains and high tides had
reached 59 by October 2016.
Meanwhile, the ps were 50 in 2010, 32 in 2011,
21 in 2012 and 50 in 2013.
The situation improved with only 10 roads
flooded in 2015, but then unexpectedly rose to
59 by October 2016.
Hoang Minh Tri, deputy head of the HCMC
Institute for Development Studies, attributes
the serious flooding to the rapid urbanization
and mismanagement.
Many lowland areas have become residential
quarters and industrial zones in the last 20
years, thus prolonging water stagnation. Many
reasons have been cited, including
uncontrolled road excavation, littering and
The operation center of the citys anti-flooding
program said that the canal encroachment is
the major cause of the flooding.
Appropriate agencies have discovered 87
positions where canals are encroached upon,
having dealt with the problems in 29 positions
and asked violators to fix problems in the
other 58 positions.
They have also found hundreds of positions
where sewers, outlets and canals are
occluded. As people set construction works on
outlets and sewers, the drainage has become
impossible.

According to Do Tan Long from the center, the
encroachment has existed for many years and
violators have not rehabilitated the situation
despite requests from the local authorities.
Outlet No 1 on Nguyen Huu Tho Road in
district 7 was filled up by locals who set up a
sewer instead. This has resulted in severe
flooding on Nguyen Huu Tho Road section,
from Kenh Te Bridge to Lotte Mart and the
Road No 15.
The occlusion and narrowing of the flow of
outlets, manholes and drainage canals have
affected the water drainage process and
placed difficulties in the fight against flooding,
Long said.
It is a must to rehabilitate the original
situation to ensure water drainage, he said,
adding that this will depend on drastic
measures to be taken by local authorities.
Ngo Viet Nam Son, a renowned architect in
HCM City, pointed out that it was the loose
management of local authorities which led to
the problem.
Local authorities must claim responsibility
before the citys Peoples Committee if they let
people encroach upon canals and outlets, he
said.

They hang out of the cabs windows and drink

A photo shows the three expats hanging out of

Taxi company Vinasun said it has asked a
driver to report on an incident in which three
foreign passengers hung out of his cabs
windows and drank beer while he was driving
along a crowded street in Ho Chi Minh City last
week.
Someone took photos of the three white men
on Ton Duc Thang Street in District 1 last
Thursday and posted them on the internet.
The photos have gone viral.
The men seem unaware of the risks they pose
to others on the street as they cheer, smoke
and drink as if at a party, using the cabs roof
as a table.
Le Nguyen Ngoc Quynh, deputy
communications director of Vinasun, told
Thanh Nien the company has asked the driver,
whose name has not been revealed, for an
explanation.
A city Traffic Police official said the driver
would be fined if his passengers were found
jeopardizing others safety.
He said the driver should have stopped in this
case, adding if he had been afraid of
displeasing his passengers, he should have
sought police help.

a service she said has remained in the travel
itinerary for nearly two decades.
"Then the tourists will taste some local fruits,
listen to a couple of vong co [traditional
southern music] pieces, and take a boat
rowing tour, as it always is," she said.
"What a poor set of tourism services we have,"
she concluded.
But changing the services seems too difficult a
job for the people behind them.
Thuy Linh and her husband have been running
the honey tea shop on Thoi Son Isle for three
years. There are four such destinations, where
tourists can also tour the bee farms and buy
souvenirs on the isle, all following the same
business model.
"I only do what people do," Linh said. "Making
some changes? I'd love to, but I don't know
how to change [the service]."
Oanh said the situation would be much better
if there were investors willing to pay for service
upgrades.
"But investors are hesitant to open their
pockets because it is not easy to recoup
investment," Nguyen Thanh Vu, the captain of
the TG0058, explained as to why tourists still
have to travel on a two-decade-old boat.
Pollution, lack of information
Carlo Campisrn, an Italian backpacker, and his
girlfriend have spent four weeks traveling
across Vietnam, but the two have little
impression of the places they have visited,
from Sapa, Hanoi and Ha Long Bay in the
north, to Hue and Hoi An in the central region.
Vietnam has many attractions but their appeal
is not strong enough for tourists to make a
return trip, Campisrn said after touring the
Saigon Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City.
The Italian did not conceal the fact that he has
not thought of returning to Vietnam, as many
of the country's beautiful landscapes have
been polluted.
Rubbish was floating on the UNESCO-
recognized Ha Long Bay, and scattered around
many streets in Hanoi, he elaborated.

Campisrn said he was also annoyed by street
peddlers wherever he went, and using public
transportation was a real challenge thanks to
the lack of information for foreign travelers.
The chief executive of a Vietnamese
international tour organizer said the country's
tourism products are "too outdated"
compared with other Southeast Asian
countries.
"Our Thai partners introduce at least five new
tourism attractions on an annual basis, while
the tour programs in Vietnam have been
unchanged for years," he said.
Pham Ha, founder and director of Hanoi-based
Luxury Travel Co., pointed to poor marketing
campaigns which have left few international
tourists with knowledge of the attractions in
Vietnam.
"We also pay little attention to alleviating
pollution at the tourism spots," he added.

threat to Saigonese
Eight water towers of 30m high, built before
1975 by the US, have been abandoned in HCM
City for many years. They are now a threat to
the safety of neighboring people.
This water tower is located at the crossroad of
Hoang Dieu - Nguyen Tat Thanh in District 4.
The tower is now in very bad condition.
Living next to the water tower for more than
30 years, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hung said the
giant tower has been abandoned since he
moved here.
There are seven other giant water towers in
HCM City.
They were designed and built by the
Americans from 1965 to 1969 to support water
supply for the suburban districts of Go Vap, 11,
6 ....
They were built to pressurize water sources.
However, they were not used because of water
leakages. This has not been fixed, so the water
towers were abandoned.
The Saigon Water Supply Corporation
(Sawaco) is in charge of managing these 8 giant
water towers. This firm has not used the
towers.
In 2009, HCM City authorities asked Sawaco to
check these towers and to dismantle them if
the firm does not use them.
A specialist in the field of construction said that
the cost to break the towers is higher than the
construction costs, while the use of these
towers is very risky.
Apart from the eight giant water towers, HCM
City has more than 100 other smaller water
towers, which were built by the Americans and
French, and many of them are becoming
threats for local residents.

Seasonal workers flock to cities as Tet
approaches
Tet will arrive in the next month so foreseeing
the increasing demand for employment, many
rural labourers are flocking into cities,
including Ha Noi to work as seasonal
labourers. Le Thi Tham, a 40-year-old woman,
was employed to pluck leaves of peach trees at
a garden in the foot of Nhat Tan Bridge. The
woman, from the northern province of Hung
Yen, said usually at the end of the year, she and
her husband come to the city to work.
Her husband works as a stevedore at Long
Bien Market and as a xe om (motorbike driver)
in his spare time. Tham usually sits at Nhat Tan
Road to wait for work. My new job of plucking
leaves from peach trees is easy but the wage is
lower than previous jobs Ive had, Tham said.
My employer provides free meals and
accommodation for me, and pays VND200,000
(US$9) per day. The wage will be higher, nearly
VND300,000 a day in the days near Tet if I
receive more work carrying peach branches
for sale at market.
similar to her farming work at home. In
previous years, she worked as a house cleaner
around the Kham Thien residential quarter but
it was hard while wages were low.
Were trying to save about VND10 million for
the whole family over Tet, including my
parents, parents-in-law, and three children
she said. About 25-27 Lunar December, we
will stop work and go home to enjoy Tet.
Family-helper centres in Ha Noi are also
recruiting seasonal labourers because there is
great demand for family-helpers over Tet,
Nguyen Yen Trang, head of Van Phuc family-
helper centre in Hoang Mai District
revealed.

The salary depends on the work: VND3.5
million - 5 million ($154-230) per month for a
fulltime family-helper and VND50,000 ($2.2)
per hour for part-time ones.
We have to look for Tet labourers two or three
months early as supply doesnt meet the
increasing demand of seasonal employment,
Trang said.
"Seasonal labourers are mainly college
students and rural people so they lack
professional skills. Our centre often has to
train them for up to three days."
Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, from the Institute of
Labour Science and Social Affairs said the time
near Tet required many labourers for services
including sales, workers at flower and bonsai
gardens, and transport companies.
During Tet period, the service industry such as
restaurants, spas, family-helper and transport
companies and consumer goods production
need many seasonal labourers, she said.
According to HCM City-based Centre for
Human Resources Forecast and Labour
Market Information, the labourer market in
the city would be stable in the last two months
of the Lunar Year. But the demand for
seasonal labourers tends to increase by 15-20
per cent in comparison with previous months,
meaning the city will need about 25,000
seasonal labourers.
Deputy director of Ha Noi Job Centre, Vu
Quang Thanh said popular jobs attracting
many seasonal labourers were in services and
trading.
Thanh said his centre usually updated
recruitment announcements through job fairs
and at the centres entrance, aiming to recruit
college students and rural people.
However, he warned Although the demand
for seasonal labourers is big now, there is no
change in wage. Rural labourers should be
careful in selecting a recruitment centre to
avoiding fraudsters.

Odd jobs in Vietnam
There are some odd jobs in Hanoi and Saigon,
which bring high income such as buffalo and
cat breeding, bamboo leaf trading,
watermelon carving and pet make-up.
Buffalo tending in the city
Many people would not expect to see herds of
buffalos and cows in the center of bustling
Saigon. More importantly, the 'shepherds' can
earn tens of thousands of USD from this job.
The herds of buffalos and cows numbering
hundreds of head are tended on open grounds
in the wards of Cat Lai, Thanh My Loi, and An
Phu in District 2, HCM City.
Actually, the cattle are released free to graze.
The owners come on motorcycles to round up
the cattle and take them home in late
afternoon.
Similarly, in Hanoi, a man named Nguyen Dinh
Thien from Ha Dong district takes advantage of
a 200 hectare grass plot, consisting of
abandoned fields and idle projects, to tend 60-
70 buffalos and cows worth around VND2
billion ($100,000).
Watermelon carving
A watermelon shop on Hoang Minh Giam
Road, Go Vap District, HCM City hires 5-6
artisans to carve watermelons.
Carved watermelons sell very well during the
lunar new year, traditional festivals and the 1st
and 15th day of lunar months.
Watermelons are carved with unique patterns
such as dragons, phoenixes, scripts, etc.
A carved watermelon is priced VND450,000-
VND550,000 (less than 10kg). The pay for
carving is from VND100,000-
VND200,000/melon, depending on the
patterns. Watermelon carvers can earn tens of
USD a day.

Researchers have found that businesspeople
and farmers are not drinking as much as many
people think
Civil servants and young people are the biggest
drinkers in Vietnam, according to a recent
survey by the Institute of Sociology in Hanoi.
The institute on Wednesday released the
results of the survey, conducted in Hanoi and
Lao Cai Province in the north, Da Nang City in
the central region and Long An Province in the
south between March and May, Tuoi Tre
newspaper reported.
Dang Nguyen Anh, a researcher, said 38
percent of the surveyed civil servants, 38
percent of blue-collar workers and 26 percent
of young people said they usually drank beer
and liquor.
The three groups, not businesspeople and
farmers, are the most frequent drinkers in
Vietnam, he said.
Up to 67 percent said beer and liquor are good
for their health, according to the survey. The
prices of beer and liquor are also cheap and
they are easy to buy in Vietnam, the survey
said.
The survey may help explain why beer
consumption in Vietnam is growing. According
to official figures, Vietnams beer production
volume is expected to reach 7 million by 2025,
more than doubling the number in 2011.
Around 13 percent of the new survey's
respondents said they usually drive after
drinking, and more than 35 percent said they
occasionally drive after drinking.
Currently, drunk driving is the third biggest
reason for road crashes, after wrong lane
driving and speeding.

Lee Kuan Yew, who died on Monday at the age
of 91, is famed as the man who turned
Singapore from a small port into a global
trading hub. But he also insisted on tidiness
and good behaviour - and personified the
country's ban on chewing gum. What was it
about gum he so disliked?
For a while after the gum ban was introduced
in 1992 it was all foreign journalists wanted to
talk about, Lee Kuan Yew complained later, in
conversation with US writer Tom Plate. That
and caning, as a form of punishment.
The ban remains one of the best-known
aspects of life in Singapore, along with the
country's laws against litter, graffiti, jaywalking,
spitting, expelling "mucous from the nose" and
urinating anywhere but in a toilet. (If it's a
public toilet, you are legally required to flush
it.)
When Singapore became independent in 1965
it was a tiny country with few resources, so Lee,
the country's first prime minister, hatched a
survival plan. This hinged on making the city
state a "first-world oasis in a third-world
region".
Before very long, Singapore was outstripping
transport system. The Cambridge-educated
Lee, it seems, was aiming for perfection.
"For many years as a visiting columnist, I too
chewed over the puzzle of the chewing gum
conundrum, but came to understand that the
tendency to stick the remains of the gum in
every which place was viewed by the
authorities as a palpable attack on Singapore's
ambition to be perfect," writes Plate, in his
book Giants of Asia: Conversations with Lee
Kuan Yew.
"That is, it was anti-utopian. It was gumming up
the works. As far as LKY and his team were

concerned, the yucky habit, commonplace in
the old days, was a palpable enemy of
progress. The way to edge forward toward
utopia was simple: simply outlaw chewing
gum."
By the time the gum ban was implemented,
and had become "senior minister", a big power
behind the scenes.
"We were called a nanny state," he told the
BBC's Peter Day in 2000. "But the result is that
we are today better behaved and we live in a
more agreeable place than 30 years ago."
At that time, Lee was pushing for a "new burst
of creativity in business" and Day
"hesitantly" suggested that chewing gum stuck
to the pavements might be a sign that the
desired new spirit of creativity had arrived.
Lee grimaced.
"Putting chewing gum on our subway train
doors so they don't open, I don't call that
creativity. I call that mischief-making," Lee
replied. "If you can't think because you can't
Lee felt there was a public policy solution to
everything, Plate says, even that gum on the
pavement, or the doors of the "mass rapid
transit" trains. "He was what I call a pragmatic
utopian," Plate says. "He woke up in the
morning and said, 'How can I make it better
today?'"
Gum is, anyway, "largely legally
chewable" nowadays, Plate says.
It has always been legal to bring small amounts
into the country for one's own use.
Since 2004 - as a result of the US-Singapore
Free Trade Agreement - pharmacists and
dentists have also been allowed to sell
"therapeutic" gum, to customers with a
medical prescription. This includes standard
sugar-free gum.
You'd still face a steep fine for spitting out the
chewed gum and leaving it as litter.
"We joke about these policies... we

24 hours in a fuel tank
Three refugees from the war in Syria met in
Turkey and crossed into Greece - but they
wanted to go further. With money running out
and their families in Turkey relying on them to
find a new home, they made a last-ditch
attempt to get into Italy. Said tells their story.
We knew the fuel tank was a bad way to go.
There were Syrian guys who had tried it before
and they all said, "Don't do it!"
But we were desperate to get out of Greece. I'd
been stuck there for two months, living in a flat
in Athens with Anas and Badi. There was no
work, no help, no way to survive. The police
were hassling us every day, aggressive as hell.
"Where are your papers? Where are your
papers?"
Many lorries have two fuel tanks, but may only
need one
The traffickers sat around in the cafes, Kurdish
and Arab guys mainly, talking quite openly
about the ways they could get people into
other Western European countries. By plane.
By boat. In the fuel tank of a lorry.
The fuel tank was the worst, but it was a
surefire way to get in. "You might be a corpse
by the time you arrive," they said, "but you'll
get there."
He told us he knew a Greek driver going to
Milan. For 5,000 euros (3,630, $5,386) each,
he could take four of us in the second fuel tank.
We left Athens in a taxi, me and Badi and Anas
and an Iraqi guy who we didn't really know.
The driver took us to a warehouse in an
industrial zone outside Thessaloniki, not far
from the sea. The lorry was hidden inside and
the driver shut the warehouse doors so no-one
could see what was going on. He told us all to

go to the toilet before we got in. The other guys
all took a leak, but I just couldn't go. I was too
tense.
We had to get into the tank by crawling under
the axle of the lorry and squeezing through
this tiny door. As soon as I saw it I thought,
"We're going to die in there." When we'd taken
a look we scrambled back out from under the
lorry and prayed, there on the floor of the
warehouse. We prayed for our children, all
four of us together. Then we crammed
ourselves into the tank and the driver started
the engines.
As soon as the lorry started to move we knew
we wouldn't last an hour. It was burning hot
and filled with diesel fumes. Anas was frantic,
banging on the tank and screaming this weird
scream. The driver heard him and the lorry
stopped before it had left the warehouse. We
scrambled out. Anas said, "I have kids, I don't
want to die."
There was no way all four of us could go in that
tank, so we agreed that the Iraqi guy would go
back to Athens. The rest of us had been
together for months. We were like brothers.
We trusted each other.
The driver was going to lose 5,000 euros, but
he didn't want to arrive with a bunch of dead
bodies in the tank. So he squeezed an extra
500 euros out of the three of us and we got
We were squished together like dough. There
was a rubber sheet on the floor of the tank and
it just melted in the heat. I mean it turned to
liquid. We were covered in this black stuff. It
was like an oven, pitch black. It stank of melting
plastic and diesel fumes
We had a small plastic Pepsi bottle with us, and
Badi and Anas managed to pee in it. Well, half
of it went in the bottle and half of it went
everywhere, all over their clothes and on to the
floor of the tank with the melted rubber. Badi
emptied the bottle outside the tank, but the
lorry was going fast and the wind blew the
spray back inside.

Among Employees For 2017
Lots of changes in store in 2017 for employers
if employees carry out their New Year's
resolutions! Sixty-two percent of American
workers' New Year's resolutions include
making a work-related change, according to
Spherion Staffings latest WorkSphere survey.
Changes include overall performance
improvement, learning a new professional
skill, finding a new job, negotiating a higher
salary, embarking on a new career or starting
a new business.
It should come as no surprise to employers
with a fresh eye towards what the future holds
for their careers. Now's the time for companies
to double down on their efforts to engage their
employees or they may soon find lots of empty
cubicles, that are in need of people to fill them.
In particular, employers should pay attention
to the following:
Compensation. Lots of employers are still
operating under the rustic premise that pay
doesn't matter. Pay matters more today than
ever. Employee salaries are no longer some
deep dark secret locked up in the draw of the
payroll clerk. Employees think nothing of
sharing what they are currently making with
your pay ranges competitive and you will be in
a much stronger position to retain talent.
Job responsibilities. Smart people like to
remain challenged. Take a close look at the job
descriptions of those you'd most like to keep,
with an eye towards mixing things up and
keeping incumbents challenged. If need be,
give up some of your most treasured

responsibilities to provide opportunities for
your people to grow in their jobs.
Replace lousy managers. It's understandable
that you didn't want to fire these people at
Christmas time. Now that the holidays are
behind us, it's time to take action. Put together
an exit package that will help them have a soft
landing and execute your plan.
Create developmental plans for those you
wish to keep. Work with your employees to
come up with a plan to help them grow this
year. This plan may include outside
coursework, participation in onsite training or
access to a coach or a mentor. Do this in
conjunction with your employees so that you

Many dangers in society made people feel
insecure, said Nguyen Thanh Le, the mother
of two girls in Ha Dong District.
I let my elder daughter cycle to secondary
school for about two weeks. Then I decided to
take her to school by motorcycle, after she was
injured in a traffic accident, she said.
In addition to getting injured in traffic
accidents, children might be kidnapped and
abused by others, Le said.
Nguyen Thu Phuong, the mother of a third-
grade student in Tu Liem District, agreed.
Despite the fact that my husband and I are so
busy with our jobs, we manage to pick up our
daughter at school every day, she said. Her
house is only three hundred metres from the
school.
Of course parents need to care for their
children and do everything possible to protect
children from potential dangers. But this could
make the children become passive.
Nowadays, parents in big cities spend too
much time taking their children to school, to
extra classes, and home. Parents do all this to
prevent people with bad intentions from
harming their children. And children have few
opportunities for outdoor activities.
Because of all these preventive measures,
parents are tired. The dual responsibilities of
working and caring for their children exhaust
them.
I was stressed from taking my two children to
school in the morning before going to work
and from bringing them home at noon, Le
said. She repeats this process on school
afternoons. She does this five days a week.
In the past, children often went to school alone
or with friends. Even children as young as first
graders did so.
Parents need to brainstorm a workable
solution for this problem. Children should be
taught survival skills so they can protect
themselves when their parents arent around.
Its important for children to understand that
they shouldnt talk to strangers or accept gifts
from them.

In addition to teaching children how to deal
with strangers, children should be taught self-
defence for emergencies, and how to call for
help.
In many countries, children are taught life skills
and how to respond to difficulties.
Japan is a good example. Elementary school
students in Japan learn to hide under their
desks, in case of an earthquake. People across
Japan hold drills every year.
The Philippines, a country hit by 20 typhoons
every year, has integrated disaster
preparedness into primary and high school
curricula. Filipino children are also taught to
store all school records, manuals, books, and
electronic equipment in a safe, elevated place,
in case of floods.
Its time for Vietnamese parents to teach their
children life skills, such as how to protect
themselves. As people often say: Prevention is
better than cure.

Commission and Member States.
EMSA manages a network of standby at-sea oil
seas of Europe. These are normal commercial
vessels which carry out day-to-day operations
but, upon request, cease their normal activities
and quickly move to the scene of the oil spill.
The Agency also provides satellite imagery for
detection and monitoring of oil spills, pollution
response experts to give operational and
technical assistance, and information service
for chemical spills at sea.
Often, cleaning efforts and recovery from an
oil spill require costs which go beyond what a
single country can bear. Therefore, a number
of regional and bilateral cooperation
agreements were established between
agreements and conventions that cover the
regional seas around Europe like
the Helsinki and Barcelona conventions, and
Lisbon and Bonn Agreements.
The EU Civil Protection Mechanism also
intervenes in marine pollution emergencies.
When a request for assistance is received
following a marine pollution incident, the
Emergency Response Coordination Centre can
quickly mobilise oil recovery capacity and
expertise from the participating states and
EMSA, and facilitate the deployment of these
assets and the EU Mechanism team.

Chinese authorities announced the shocking
seizure of over 100,000 metric tons of frozen,
expired meat, some of it as old as 40 years.
According to Chinas state mouthpiece CCTV,
items seized included chicken feet, beef, and
pork that had been treated with chemicals and
bleach so they appeared fresh. According to
reports, some of the meat had been
transported in unrefrigerated trucks, causing
the partially rotten flesh to smell.
McDonalds acknowledged in a filing that food
quality issues with a supplier negatively
impacted results in China, Japan, and certain
other markets.
We moved quickly to source from alternative
suppliers and initiated aggressive recovery
plans to restore consumer trust and
confidence, the filing stated.
The Recovery Ticks Along
On Thursday, a McDonalds representative told
The Wall Street Journal the company is looking
for a buyer for its 413 Taiwan stores, and that
it plans to expand its franchise business in
China.
The move fits squarely within the companys
stated strategy to shed its company-run stores
and increase the number of franchises. The
franchisee-run stores have performed better
in recent years. In this case, it wants to license
the stores to a foreign affiliate or
developmental licensee.
McDonalds CEO Steve
Easterbrook announced in early May a plan to
shape McDonalds future as a modern,
progressive burger company.
In addition to expanding the number of
franchises beyond the current 80 percent
mark, McDonalds understands it needs to
emphasize customer experiences, and
manage better perceptions of value, as well as
offer options like menu personalization.
In the AsiaPacific region specifically,
McDonalds has aggressively focused on giving
its stores a new imagecompleting 340

Saigonese complained that since 2009, they

supermarkets, shops and music centers.
In addition, the noise from metal drilling,
cutting and welding have also been annoying

workshops are located in residential quarters.
A research work pointed out that the noise
from drilling, cutting and welding is the most

Officials warn that a common ASEAN job
market can make the situation worse for many
Vietnamese
The unemployment rate among bachelor
graduates continued to rise in the second
quarter this year as a weak job market has
positions with good income prospects.
According to a report released by the Labor
and Society Science Institute, the number of
unemployed graduates has increased from
178,000 in the first quarter to nearly 200,000 in
the second quarter.
In the first six months, a total of 1.14 million
people were unemployed, or 2.42 percent of
the working age population.
Unemployment increased among men,
especially in urban areas and among younger
demographics, but reduced among women.
Nguyen Thi Lan Huong, director of the Labor
and Society Science Institute, blamed high
graduate unemployment on a mismatch
between supply and demand.
She told local media that most bachelor
graduates seek jobs in education and
government agencies, even though these
sectors have little demand.
In big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City,
many bachelor graduates have accepted to
work for low salaries. But many people still
high income jobs.
Doan Mau Diep, deputy labor minister, said
Vietnam will face greater challenges when the
regional bloc ASEAN allows free labor
movements at the end of the year.

miles from the building sites, and in
mountainous regions, no less.
Moving big stones isn't always mysteriousif
the quarry is higher than the final site or
without much elevation difference, and there's
lots of space for lots of men to drag, then even
enormous stones can be moved.
Take, for instance, the Thunder Stone that is
the seat of the Bronze Horseman statue in St.
Petersburg, Russia. Weighing in at a truly
massive 1,500 tons, the Thunder Stone was
moved in 1768, using only manpower and
some engineering ingenuity.
But for a society with only primitive tools
available, and no advanced engineering, how
are 100-ton stones moved through 20 miles of
mountains?
At the very least, it probably means whoever
built them were more advanced than we're
currently giving them credit. But what the
Spaniards said at the time indicate that the
Incans didn't possess the needed engineering
skills.
So it might mean that it was someone else who
built the structures.
In fact, the Incans themselves acknowledged
to the conquistadores that these structures
were there long before them, built by a
different people. A favorite topic of speculation
among the Incans was apparently trying to
figure out how the ancients actually built the
walls, fitting the stones in so tightly.
Saksaywaman, in the history books, is said to
have been completed in 1508, but those living
just a few decades later, like Garcilaso de la
Vega, born in 1539 and raised in the area of
Saksaywaman, professed to having no idea of
how the walls were constructed. And no one
else seemed to, either.
Is it possible that the Incans built on top of the
previously existing structures and Spanish
chroniclers made the mistake of thinking they
had built the entire structure?
If the builders were even more ancient, then
wouldn't our textbook understanding of
history suggest that it's even less likely

in 2014 to relinquish control of the internet by
ending the contract between the
U.S. Department of Commerce and the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN).
This process is now nearing its completion,
with a deadline of Oct. 1.
The handover is technically of the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which is a
department of ICANN. It regulates domain
name registrations for websites, handles the
Domain Name System (DNS) Root Zone to
ensure internet users are directed to the
websites they intend to visit, and also handles
internet protocols.
The integrity of DNS, in particular, is critical,
since it can be used for cyberattacks that send
people to fake, infected websites. Its also one

of the primary systems manipulated for state
censorship that can block access to specific
websites.
The United States plans for the internet to be
run by a multistakeholder model without
government oversight, and relinquishing
control of ICANN will be the last step in this
process. Yet the new model does not mean
ICANN, or the broader internet, will remain
free from government influence. Rather, the
United States is simply stepping back from this
role.
According to Chris Mattmann, who helped
develop how email systems work under IANA
and who also helped develop several Apache
systems that are at the heart of the internet,
the handover of ICANN is a concerning move.
With this shift, Mattmann said, the process of
determining which website is shown to you
when you enter a web address will no longer
be driven by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, and this could be manipulated by
foreign powers for anything from censorship
to cyberattacks.
For instance, if the Chinese regime were to
object to a website that publishes information
make that website virtually invisible on the
web.
Mattmann, who currently works at the NASA
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said he believes
processes under ICANN need to be heavily
vetted, noting that even when the internet is
itself distributed and decentralized, the open
system begins to break down without an
authority to ensure it stays open.
Already, the Chinese regime is moving to fill
the void left by the U.S. handoverand its new
system for governing the internet goes far
beyond the responsibilities held by ICANN.
Over the last two years, Chinese leaders have

Chinese regime has formed domestic
institutions or gained control over

protecting core Chinese interests under
globalization, and promoting globally
competitive Chinese IT companies.
According to Xia Yiyang, senior director of
research and policy at the Human Rights Law
Foundation, there is more to the statement,
protecting core Chinese interests under
globalization, than meets the eye.
In the CCPs language, its a way to keep the
CCP in power by any means, he said, adding,
They have a very clear definition of core
interests.'
In an interview published on the World
Internet Conference website, Li stated that
since China has the largest number of netizens
in the world, it should have the right to make
the international rules of cyberspace
governance.
The establishment of rules is just a start, he
said.
Influence Over Foreign Companies
The Chinese regime has begun bringing major
U.S. tech firmsincluding Microsoft Corp.,
Intel Corp., Cisco Systems Inc., and
International Business Machines Corp. (IBM)
into its newly formed committee, the Technical
Committee 260.
The committee is already working with foreign
companies to enforce the CCPs laws.
According to the Wall Street Journal, it is
inviting companies to help Chinese authorities
draft rules for issues including encryption, big
data, and cybersecurity, and with determining
which technologies should be secure and
controllable by the CCP.
The phrase secure and controllable was
included in the Chinese regimes
sweeping National Security Law, passed on
July 1, 2015. The Washington-based think
tank Information Technology and Innovation
Foundation described the laws requirements
as being part of a strategic effort intended to
ultimately supplant foreign technology
companies both in China and in markets
around the world.

The United States walked out of the 2012
meeting, and other countriesincluding the
United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
Australia, and othersrefused to sign its
controversial treaty. Yet the treaty was passed
regardless, giving the ITU a level of governance
over the internet it had not had before.
Nations that refused to sign the treaty are not
included in it. Instead, they retain agreements
under the 1988 ITU treaty, which did not
include any elements on ITU governing the
internet.
Nonetheless, the ITU declared the new treaty a
success, as its remaining members did
recognize its new role. It released a
statement on Dec. 14, 2012, saying delegates
from around the world have agreed [to] a new
global treaty that will help pave the way to a
hyper-connected world.
In October 2014, the ITU elected Chinas Houlin
Zhao as its secretary-general.
Zhao had stated previously that censorship is
subjective. According to The New American in
October 2014, when Zhao was asked about
the Communist Chinese dictatorships
massive censorship regime targeting dissent,
dissidents, and ideas it disagrees with, he
replied, Some kind of censorship may not be
strange to other countries.
A Contentious Move
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has spearheaded a
push to prevent the handover of ICANN, and
many U.S. government officials, organizations,
and experts have sounded an alarm over
concerns that a foreign authoritarian power
may attempt to do precisely what the Chinese
regime has already set into motion.
During a Senate subcommittee hearing on
Sept. 14 on the issue, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-
Iowa) said, according to a prepared statement,
transition remain unanswered. These include

whether it will yield an unconstitutional
transfer of United States government
property, how the transfer will affect human
rights and free speech issues, if U.S.-controlled
top-level domains such as .gov and .mil could
be compromised.
If this internet giveaway goes forward, theres
no reason to believe that authoritarian states
would stop trying to exert greater control and
we dont know how things will play out long
term, Grassley said.
On June 8, Cruz and Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.)
introduced the Protecting Internet Freedom
Act, which seeks to prevent the U.S. handover
of ICANN, and to ensure the United States
retains sole ownership of .gov and .mil top-
level domains.
Similar concerns were shared by Philip
Zimmermann, creator of the PGP encryption
standard and chief scientist and co-founder of
Silent Circle, a company specializing in secure
communications.
Zimmerman said he believes the United States
needs to maintain some authority over the
internet, lest we give in to control by an
international body that can be easily
influenced by member states that are
oppressive societies.
The internet is supposed to make the weak
have a voice, you know. If China controls their
own domains within their country, its going to
be easy to suppress opposition, he said.
According to Barney Warf, a geography
professor at the University of Kansas who has
published research on global internet freedom
and governance, China has a brutal, fascist,
to suppress human rights.
Warf said even the possibility that the CCP
could enforce its laws over the global internet
is a frightening thought.
He said the United States informal governing
of the internet did not place any firm control
over it, and this allowed innovation to flourish.
He said the lack of strict governance gave
people room to experiment and make

a China is considering setting up its own rules in
cyberspace, CCP Premier Li Keqiang said, in
comments summarized by China Daily. He
added the CCP wants to create a common
code of rules for the internet.
In July 2015, the CCP passed the National
Security Law mentioned earlier, with its
requirement that certain technologies should
be secure and controllable.
That same month, the CCP introduced the
draft of its Cybersecurity Law. Reuters
reported that the law requires network
operators to accept the supervision of the
government and public, and that it reiterates
requirements that all personal data on
Chinese citizens and important business data
needs to be stored domesticallyan element
that further exposes the data to government
surveillance.
Reuters noted the law was controversial in the
United States and Europe, since it affects
foreign firms. It also noted it increased the
CCPs power to access and block
dissemination of private information records
that Chinese law deems illegal, and that this
has caused concern among governments,
multinational companies, and rights activists,
since the CCP may be able to interpret the law
as it sees fit.
In December 2015, the CCP passed the
Counterterrorism Law, which allows Chinese
authorities to decrypt information to prevent
terrorism, and to monitor systems with the
excuse of preventing the spread of
information that can be used for the CCPs
definitions of terrorism or extremism.
There is a long list of similar laws and
regulations. In February 2016, the CCP issued
rules for online publishing. In March 2016, it
drafted rules for domain name registration. It
has issued state procurement lists that restrict
foreign suppliers and has pending laws on
encryption regulations.
With its new institutions, laws, and regulations,
the Chinese regime is ready through its Cyber
Security Association to influence the operation

You should just wipe the word "failure" right
out of your vocabulary. All great people who
have ever achieved anything have "failed" over
and over. In fact, I think it was Thomas Edison
who said something like, "I did not fail at
inventing the light bulb, I just first found 99
ways that it didn't work." Take your so-called
"failures" and learn something from them.
Learn how to do it better next time.
5. If you don't get something you want, it just
means something better is coming.
That's hard to believe sometimes, I know. But
it's true. Usually, when you look back at your
life, you will be able to see why it was actually
a good thing that something didn't work out.
Maybe the job you didn't get would have made
you spend more time away from your family,
but the job you did get was more flexible. Just
have faith that everything happens exactly the
way it's supposed to.
6. Appreciate the present moment.
This moment will never come again. And there
is always something precious about every
moment. So don't let it pass you by! Soon it will
just be a memory. Even moments that don't
seem happy can be looked upon as something
that you might miss someday. As the country
song by Trace Adkins says, "You're gonna miss
thisyou're gonna want this back. You're
gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so
fast.you may not know this now, but you're
gonna miss this"
7. Let go of desire.
Most people live with "attached mind." What
this means is that they attach themselves to a
desire, and when they don't get it, their
emotions plummet into negativity. Instead, try
to practice "detached mind." That means that
when you want something, you will still be
happy whether you get it or not. Your
emotions remain happy or neutral.
8. Understand and be grateful for your fears.
Fear can be a great teacher. And overcoming
fears can also make you feel victorious. For
example, when I was in college, I feared public
speaking (one of the top 3 fears of all humans).
g , bn vn s cm thy vui v k ckhi bn

So I find it humorous now that not only do I
college professor, I also teach public speaking!
Overcoming fears just takes practice. Fear is
really just an illusion. It's optional.
9. Allow yourself to experience joy.
Believe it or not, I know way too many people
they don't even know how to be happy. Some
people are actually addicted to their problems
and the chaos in them so much that they
wouldn't even know who they are without
them. So try to allow yourself to be happy!
Even if it's just for a small moment, it's
important to focus on joy, not your hardships.
10. Don't compare yourself to other people.
But if you do compare yourself, compare
yourself with people who have it worse than
you. Unemployed? Be grateful that you live in
a country that gives unemployment
compensation, because most people in the
look like Angelina Jolie? Well, I bet there are
more people who don't than do. And you are
probably way better looking than most people.
Focus on that.
11. You are not a victim.
You need to get out of your own way. You are
only a "victim" of your own thoughts, words
and actions. No one "does" something to you.
You are the creator of your own experience.
Take personal responsibility and realize that
you can get out of your hard times. You just
need to start with changing your thoughts and
actions. Abandon your victim mentality and
12. Things canand dochange.
"And this too shall pass" is one of my favorite
sayings. When we are stuck in a bad situation,
we think that there is no way out. We think
nothing will ever change. But guess what? It
will! Nothing is permanent except death. So get
out of the habit of thinking that things will
always be this way. They won't. But you do
need to take some sort of action for things to

seven foreign governments while Clinton
served as secretary of state.
The Washington Post reported that foreign
countries including the Algerian government
were able to donate to the Clinton Foundation
during Clinton's term through a 2008
agreement, which allowed governments that
had previously donated to make contributions
at similar levels.
The Clinton Foundation, which invests millions
each year in work to fight AIDS and empower
women, raised at least $42 million from
foreign governments, according to CBS News,
and raised at least $170 million from foreign
New York Times noted Clinton's hypocrisy in
her claim to support women's rights, and
pointed out on March 8 that the Clinton
Foundation has accepted tens of millions of
dollars in donations from six Middle Eastern
countries, "all of which the State Department
has faulted over their records on sex
discrimination and other human-rights
issues."
The triad connection
Hillary Clinton has a long history of accepting
donations from unsavory Chinese
organizations.
While she is building her expected presidential
campaign around women's rights, going back
to her campaign in 2007 and 2008, Clinton had
"enlisted the aid of Chinese neighborhood
associations,"
LA Times reported at the time, including at
least one with a history of illegal gambling,
abuse of immigrants, and human trafficking.
While the LA Times did not name the
organizations, which it noted were especially
those representing immigrants from Fujian
Province, at least one of Clinton's donors at the
time was the Fukien American Association,
according to records obtained by Epoch Times.
The Fukien American Association is one of the
Chinese "Tongs" and according to the book,
"Chinatown Gangs: Extortion, Enterprise, and
Ethnicity," by Ko-lin Chin, the association is the

members and journalists for 10 years
For more than a decade, a Chinese cyberspy
group has been spying on government and
business networks in countries that are part of
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN). Meanwhile, it was also spying on
journalists who are critical of the Chinese
Communist Party.
Details on the newly-discovered hacker group
were published by security company FireEye
on April 12. It states that the hacker group,
which it calls "APT30," has been involved in a
"decade-long operation" aimed at targets
"who hold key political, economic, and military
information about the region."
The hacker group has been operating since at
least 2005, and has been using many of the
same tools, tactics, and infrastructure
throughout the years. Researchers with
FireEye state, based on their findings, they
believe the attacks are state-sponsored, "most
likely by the Chinese government."
The tools used by APT30 are not designed for
economic theft. Instead, they're designed
specifically for spying. Their tools, according to
FireEye, are designed to "identify and steal
documents."
Using these tools, the cyberspies were able to
change files on the victim's network, read and
write files, search for files, delete files, and
upload new files. They were also able to infect
removable drives, such as USB flash drives,
and would even let them access "air gapped"
computers that aren't connected to the
Internet.
FireEye states, "the group's interests appear to
concentrate on Southeast Asia regional
political, economic, and military issues,

disputed territories, and topics related to the
legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party."
It adds the hacker group has a "distinct interest
in organizations and governments associated
with ASEAN, particularly around the time of
official ASEAN meetings."
As for journalists that APT30 was targeting, the
report says, it went for those who "do not
provide favorable coverage" on the Chinese
regime. In particular, this included journalists
who wrote about issues including the Chinese
regime's human rights record, corruption, and
its economy.
Researchers say they believe the Chinese
regime targets journalists so it can "anticipate
unfavorable coverage and better position
themselves to shape public messages."
"APT30's attempts to compromise journalists
and media outlets could also be used to punish
outlets that do not provide favorable
coverage," it states.
Confirmed countries targeted by APT30 were
India, Thailand, South Korea, Saudi Arabia,
Malaysia, the United States, and Vietnam.
Researchers believe the cyberspies were
targeting Nepal, Indonesia, Cambodia, Bhutan,
Brunei, Japan, the Philippines, Myanmar,
Singapore, and Laos.
"APT30 appears to focus not on stealing
businesses' valuable intellectual property or
cutting-edge technologies," the report states,
"but on acquiring sensitive data about the
immediate interests of the Southeast Asia
region, where they pursue targets that pose a
potential threat to the influence and legitimacy
of the Chinese Communist Party."

8 Vietnamese women arrested in South
Korea for major job scam
The gang swindled around $190,000 from
Vietnamese who wanted to work abroad
South Korean police on Tuesday arrested eight
Vietnamese women suspected to be members
of a gang that swindled around US$190,000
from Vietnamese who wanted to work in South
Korea, Vietnam News Agency reported.
The police in Changnyeong County, South
women, who is married to a South Korean and
has become a South Korean citizen, is the
ringleader.
In June of last year, the 37-year-old woman
advertised on some social network pages that
her company, which does not exist, can send
Vietnamese workers legally to South Korea,
with working visas.
The company charged each Vietnamese a fee
of VND100-180 million ($4,583-8,249).
A 27-year-old woman acted as a middle-
person and the six others looked for job
seekers who wanted to work in South Korea.
Police said the gang swindled a total 210
million won ($189,403) from 143 Vietnamese,
but never helped them find jobs.
Some of the victims lodged complaints with
local police.

Hillary Clinton is planning to officially launch
her US presidential campaign on Sunday while
en route to Iowa, a source familiar with the
campaign has confirmed to the Guardian.
The former secretary of state is scheduled to
declare her second run for president on
Twitter at noon eastern time on Sunday, the
source told the Guardian, followed by a video
and email announcement, then a series of
conference calls mapping out a blitzkrieg tour
beginning in Iowa and looking ahead to more
early primary states.
Clinton's Sunday schedule is booked beginning
with takeoff from New York to Iowa,
where speculation has centered for weeks that
Clinton was focusing attention for an April
campaign launch. Her scheduled calls are with
advisers in other key battleground states.
Clinton's spokesman, Nick Merrill, did not
respond to multiple requests for comment on
the contours of Clinton's campaign kickoff
schedule. Another source close to the Clinton
campaign confirmed Clinton would be in Iowa
in the coming days.
Clinton will be the first Democratic presidential
candidate to declare for the 2016 presidential
election, and is widely considered the
frontrunner within the party.
Former Senator Jim Webb has launched an
exploratory committee, as have several
Republican contenders. But Clinton's
declaration of her second run for the White
House was expected to send political
shockwaves across the world, with the
potential for the first female president of the
United States.

Authorities in the southern province of Binh
Duong yesterday slapped the Dai Nam Joint
Stock Company, which owns Dai Nam Tourism
Park, with back taxes and fines of VND99
billion (US$4.5 million).
Inspections of the company's books from 2009
to 2014 found it had not accurately followed
accounting norms and ended up paying
VND97.7 billion ($4.45 million) less in taxes
than it should have, they said.
Its other violations include deviating from the
licence terms in terms of number of floors and
size at four construction sites and failing to get
licences for 167 completed structures.
The company has used around 25 hectares of
land at Dai Nam Tourism Park without getting
approval; it sold land plots instead of
apartments at Song Than 3 Industrial Park; it
completed a trade centre in 2011 but has not
put it to use as agreed until now; eight of its
projects lack the official report about
environment impacts, with some also failing to
report environment protection measures and
others not having solid waste collection system
or waste water treatment system.
"Binh Duong Province appreciates the
contribution of Dai Nam Joint Stock Company
to the province's development but violations
must be penalised," Tran Thanh Liem, deputy
chairman of the Province People's Committee,
said.
But he admitted that related authorities were
partly responsible for many of the violations
due to their incompetence.
Dai Nam Joint Stock Company was established
in 1996 and operates in real estate, factory
lease, industrial park technical infrastructure,

Experts believe that Vietnam should focus on
producing high-quality rice instead of striving
to earn money from selling low-cost rice
products.
Soon after Vietnam began harvesting the
2016-2017 winter-spring crop, the Thai
government announced it planned to sell all its
stockpiled rice estimated at 8 million tons
in the first half of 2017.
According to Nguyen Van Don, director of the
Tien Giang-based Viet Hung Company, on the
first days of 2017, the sales were relatively
satisfactory with many big contracts signed.
However, in recent days no contracts have
been signed.
Don attributed this to the increase in domestic
and export prices compared with pre-Tet days.
Meanwhile, the Thai governments
announcement has also affected demand.
Dang Thi Lien from Long An Food & Foodstuff
Company said Vietnams 5 percent and 15
percent broken rice is being offered at prices
higher by $5-10 per ton than the same kind of
Thailand.
In order to compete with the Thais,
Vietnamese exporters have had to lower the
selling prices. However, they would incur
losses because the domestic price is on the
rise.
This means that low prices wont be the
weapon for Vietnam to compete with Thailand
in the world market, especially in Africa and
China, which favor low-cost products.
Huynh The Nang, chair of the Vietnam Food
Association (VFA), commented that Vietnam
has to cede its market share to Thailand in

harsh competition from
computerized rival
Lottery companies in southern Vietnam have
announced plans to introduce new products to
combat the skyrocketing popularity of the
computerized lottery Mega 6/45.
While sales of traditional lottery tickets in
Vietnam tend to climb towards the end of the
rainy season, lottery companies in southern
Vietnam have witnessed an opposite trend this
year, with sales continuing to drop in
December, according to Do Quang Vinh,
chairman of the Southern Lottery Council.
Vinh attributed the plummet in traditional
lottery ticket sales to the increasing popularity
of the computerized Mega 6/45 lottery run by
state-owned Vietnam Computerized Lottery
Co. Ltd. (Vietlott).
The Mega 6/45 lottery came to public attention
after its first jackpot winner bagged over
VND92 billion (US$4.11 million) in prize money,
followed by four multimillion-dollar jackpot
wins in under a month.
Traditional companies in southern Vietnam
have seen a drop of between three and over
ten percent in their daily revenue and are
facing the looming prospect of not being able
to fulfill this years quota on state budget
contribution.
According to Vinh, southern lottery companies
are looking to build an official website to
publish information on the companies
business reports, jackpot wins, state budget
contributions, and other charitable activities
In addition, the companies are also
considering implementing new types of lottery
games into their portfolio.

The billboards, by the way, are as authentically
inscrutable as most of the ones you see on
Highway 101, Silicon Valley's main
thoroughfare. They show a pretty woman
playing a guitar with the slogan "I am Pied
Piper"; they're meaningless, but they create
"awareness", which Hanneman insists matters
more than having an actual product.
Or, for that matter, making money. As usual,
"Silicon Valley" is gleeful about ripping off real-

of starting a company is to make money. "It's
not about how much you earn but what you're

GrabCar, owned by Grab, a startup previously
known as GrabTaxi, allows people to order a
private car for travel purposes with just a
couple of taps on their mobile devices.
Although present in Vietnam since 2014, the
ride hailing service had been under fire for its
debatable legality and subject to repeated
protests from local taxi associations until
Thursday, when it was officially recognized
under the Ministry of Transports pilot
program.
Starting March 31, GrabCar will be the sole
legitimate car-booking app in Vietnam, under a
license granted by the transport ministry for a
two-year trial scheme aimed at applying
technology to the transportation sector.
The pilot program was first proposed to the
transport ministry by Grab in July 2015, and
was green-lighted on January 7 this year.
lawfully operate in five localities, Hanoi, Ho Chi
Minh City, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa and Quang
Ninh, between 2016 and 2018. Ho Chi Minh
City is the first of the five to see the service
come into effect.
GrabCar offers rides in private cars at a fare 10
to 15 percent lower than traditional cabs,
except during rush hour. This understandably

makes the hi-tech service an uninvited rival for
local taxi operators.
The private car hailing service is among several
new features recently added by Grab, as the
app initially only let people book a traditional
taxi.
Users can now hail taxis, xe om (motorbike
taxis), private cars, or even goods shippers via
Grab. The company has future plans to add
new features including GrabWork, a business-
friendly car hailing service, and GrabPay, a new
payment method, to the platform.
Grab and Uber, a similar ride-sharing app, are
considered game changers in Vietnams taxi
market and are both increasingly favored by
local passengers.
Taxi drivers are not the only ones reeling from
the legalization of GrabCar. The move is also
seen as a blow to Uber, which still fails in its bid
to be legally recognized due to many unsettled
issues, including taxes.

Human Life Are Discovered
Three planets, that have just the right
temperatures to possibly support life as we
know it, have been discovered. The trio orbit a
star 40 light years away and are much cooler
and dimmer than our sun, researchers say.
The planets are about as big as Earth. One is
four times warmer than Earth, one is two times
warmer, and one is cooler than Earth. But all of
them may still have areas where water exists
in liquid statewhat scientists consider a
prerequisite for development of life similar to
that found on Earth.
The star is an ultra-cool dwarf in the
constellation of Aquarius about eight times
smaller than the Sun and much cooler. That
makes it easier to detect potential life on its
planets, as opposed to brighter stars that can
overpower signals coming from their planets.
These planets are so close, and their star so
small, we can study their atmosphere and
composition, and further down the road,
which is within our generation, assess if they
are actually inhabited, said co-author of the
research Julien de Wit of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in a MIT press release.
All of these things are achievable and within
reach now. This is a jackpot for the field, she
said.
But searching around such stars also carried
an investment risk, as it required special
instruments and detectors.
Lead authors of the research, Michael Gillon
Lige, took that risk and built the Transiting
Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope
(TRAPPIST) in Chile to look at 60 small, nearby
ultra-cool stars.

The Triune Brain
The first of our three brains to evolve is what
scientists call the reptilian cortex. This brain
sustains the elementary activities of animal
survival such as respiration, adequate rest and
a beating heart. We are not required to
consciously think about these activities. The
reptilian cortex also houses the startle
centre, a mechanism that facilitates swift
reactions to unexpected occurrences in our
surroundings.
That panicked lurch you experience when a
door slams shut somewhere in the house, or
the heightened awareness you feel when a
twig cracks in a nearby bush while out on an
evening stroll are both examples of the
reptilian cortex at work. When it comes to our
interaction with others, the reptilian brain
offers up only the most basic impulses:
aggression, mating, and territorial defence.
There is no great difference, in this sense,
between a crocodile defending its spot along
the river and a turf war between two urban
gangs.
Although the lizard may stake a claim to its
habitat, it exerts total indifference toward the
well-being of its young. Listen to the anguished
squeal of a dolphin separated from its pod or
witness the sight of elephants mourning their
dead, however, and it is clear that a new
development is at play. Scientists have
identified this as the limbic cortex. Unique to
mammals, the limbic cortex impels creatures
to nurture their offspring by delivering feelings
of tenderness and warmth to the parent when
children are nearby.
These same sensations also cause mammals
to develop various types of social relations and
kinship networks. When we are with others of
our kind be it at soccer practice, church,
school or a nightclub we experience positive

sensations of togetherness, solidarity and
comfort. If we spend too long away from these
networks, then loneliness sets in and
encourages us to seek companionship.
Only human capabilities extend far beyond the
scope of these two cortexes. Humans eat,
sleep and play, but we also speak, plot,
rationalise and debate finer points of morality.
Our unique abilities are the result of an
expansive third brain the neocortex which
engages with logic, reason and ideas. The
power of the neocortex comes from its ability
to think beyond the present, concrete
moment.
While other mammals are mainly restricted to
impulsive actions (although some, such as
apes, can learn and remember simple lessons),
humans can think about the big picture. We
can string together simple lessons (for
example, an apple drops downwards from a
tree; hurting others causes unhappiness) to
develop complex theories of physical or social
phenomena (such as the laws of gravity and a
concern for human rights).
The neocortex is also responsible for the
process by which we decide on and commit to
particular courses of action. Strung together
over time, these choices can accumulate into
feats of progress unknown to other animals.
Anticipating a better grade on the following
mornings exam, a student can ignore the
limbic urge to socialise and go to sleep early
instead.
Over three years, this ongoing sacrifice
translates into a first class degree and a
scholarship to graduate school; over a lifetime,
it can mean groundbreaking contributions to
human knowledge and development. The
ability to sacrifice our drive for immediate
satisfaction in order to benefit later is a
product of the neocortex.
Understanding the triune brain can help us
appreciate the different natures of brain
damage and psychological disorders. The
most devastating form of brain damage, for
example, is a condition in which someone is

understood to be brain dead. In this state a
person appears merely unconscious
sleeping, perhaps but this is illusory. Here,
the reptilian brain is functioning on autopilot
despite the permanent loss of other cortexes.
Disturbances to the limbic cortex are
registered in a different manner. Pups with
limbic damage can move around and feed
themselves well enough but do not register the
presence of their littermates. Scientists have
observed how, after a limbic lobotomy , one
impaired monkey stepped on his outraged
peers as if treading on a log or a rock.
In our own species, limbic damage is closely
related to sociopathic behaviour. Sociopaths in
possession of fully-functioning neocortexes
are often shrewd and emotionally intelligent
people but lack any ability to relate to,
empathise with or express concern for others.
One of the neurological wonders of history
occurred when a railway worker named
Phineas Gage survived an incident during
which a metal rod skewered his skull, taking a
considerable amount of his neocortex with it.
Though Gage continued to live and work as
before, his fellow employees observed a shift
in the equilibrium of his personality.
Gages animal propensities were now sharply
pronounced while his intellectual abilities
suffered; garrulous or obscene jokes replaced
his once quick wit. New findings suggest,
however, that Gage managed to soften these
abrupt changes over time and rediscover an
appropriate social manner. This would indicate
that reparative therapy has the potential to
help patients with advanced brain trauma to
gain an improved quality of life.

The study was conducted in low-income areas

Researchers took 402 9th- and 10th-grade
students and divided them into three groups.
Many students dont realize that all successes
require a long journey with many failures
along the way. Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, lead

One group was given a text to read about the

A second group was given an 800-word text
that talked about those scientistss personal
struggles. One such example being Einsteins
escape from Germany to avoid being
persecuted by the Nazis for being a Jew.
And a third group was given a text to read that
talked about the scientists academic
challenges, and how they persevered despite
the challenges they faced, such as Curie, who
pioneered research on radioactivity despite
numerous set-backs and went on to receive
two Nobel prizes.
As it turned out, six weeks later, the students
who had read about the scientists personal
struggles or the challenges they faced in their
research, significantly improved their science
grades. Not only that, the students who had
only read about the scientists achievements,
and not their challenges, did not see an
increase in their performance, but instead had
lower grades.
Many students dont realize that all successes
require a long journey with many failures
along the way, lead researcher Xiaodong Lin-
Siegler said in a statement.
When kids think Einstein is a genius who is
different from everyone else, then they believe
they will never measure up, she said.
The research was published in the Journal of
Educational Psychology.

Up to 500 hectares of coral reefs off the
southern coast are being ruined
Warm water caused by El Nino is being
suspected of bleaching around one quarter of
coral reefs off Vietnam's famous resort island
Con Dao, making them vulnerable to a massive
die-off, local media reported on Friday.
The bleaching started in March and has
affected around 400-500 hectares of coral
reefs, the Vietnam News Agency said, citing the
management board of Con Dao National Park.
The report did not mention if human activities
were also to blame.
Con Dao, about 97 sea miles off the popular
beach town of Vung Tau, is one of the favorite
diving destinations in Vietnam.
Corals are often bleached when warm water
causes them to expel the algae living in their
tissues. While they can still survive the
bleaching, they will die when the algae loss
prolongs.
At least eight coral reefs areas for have been
hit by bleaching such as those around the Con
Son Bay and Tai Island, according to the
management board.
Con Dao reported coral bleaching in 1998 and
2010, according to the news report.

The National Foundation for Science and
Technology Development (NAFOSTED),
established in 2008, was cited as an important
unit which backs the development of basic
sciences.
With the disbursement of VND300 billion a
year, NAFOSTED funds about 300 scientific
research tasks every year, mostly in basic
sciences.
Anhs statements about the importance of
basic sciences and the policy on continuing to
fund basic science development could be seen
as a reply to the criticism that Vietnam wastes
money on basic sciences while it does not pay
appropriate attention to applied sciences.
Nguyen Van Hieu, a renowned scientist, also
affirmed that the studies in basic sciences lay
the foundations for applied technologies.
The expenses on basic sciences just account
for 5 percent of total budget, while the other
95 percent is spent on applied research works.
But basic science study is a must. Everything
needs to start from basic science, Hieu said.
Dao Tien Khoa from the Institute of Nuclear
Science and Technology said that basic
sciences, in the eyes of many government
officials, are just jewelry to Vietnams science
development and do not receive appropriate
attention.
Khoa said that the countries with developed
applied sciences and technologies all have
flourishing basic sciences.

northern Israel confirms that humans were in
the area at the time. Scientists have theorized
that humans migrated from Africa to Europe
between 40,000 to 60,000 years ago, and this
skull is being hailed as key evidence in this
theory. The find was announced on Jan. 28 and
published in the journal Nature.
It is an important missing piece in human
prehistory, study author Israel Hershkovitz
told the Times of Israel, because it connects
African and European hominids. The skull was
buried in the Manot Cave by a cave-in some
30,000 years ago. The cave was discovered
when a bulldozer accidentally opened a hole in
its ceiling in 2008.
The Manot skull is the first to show that
Neanderthals and modern humans inhabited
the southern Levant region at the same time.
Studies in recent years have shown human
populations to contain a small percentage of
Neanderthal DNA and have also placed an
interbreeding at around 50,000 years ago. This
European humans may have inherited
anatomical features from early Levantine
populations, according to the study.

lost their powers of speech as a result of a
stroke (a blood clot in the brain) had paralysis
of the right half of their body. He noted that
since the left hemisphere of the brain controls
the right half of the body, and vice versa, the
brain damage must have been in the brains
left hemisphere.
Psychologists now believe that among right-
handed people, probably 95 per cent have
their language centre in the left hemisphere,
while 5 per cent have right sided language.
Left-handers, however, do not show
the reverse pattern but instead a majority also
have their language in the left hemisphere.
Some 30 per cent have right hemisphere
language.
Dr Brinkman, a brain researcher at the
Australian National University in Canberra, has
suggested that evolution of speech went with
right-handed preference. According to
Brinkman, as the brain evolved, one
side became specialised for fine control of
movement (necessary for producing speech)
and along with this evolution came right- hand
preference.
According to Brinkman, most left-handers
have left hemisphere dominance but also
some capacity in the right hemisphere. She
has observed that if a left-handed person is
brain-damaged in the left hemisphere, the
recovery of speech is quite often better and
this is explained by the fact that left-handers
have a more bilateral speech function.
In her studies of macaque monkeys, Brinkman
has noticed that primates (monkeys) seem to
learn a hand preference from their mother in
the first year of life but this could be one hand
or the other. In humans, however, the
specialisation in function of the two
hemispheres results in anatomical differences:
areas that are involved with the production of
speech are usually larger on the left side than
on the right.
Since monkeys have not acquired the art of
speech, one would not expect to see such a
variation but Brinkman claims to have

discovered a trend in monkeys towards the
asymmetry that is evident in the human brain.
Two American researchers, Geschwind and
Galaburda, studied the brains of human
embryos and discovered that the left-right
asymmetry exists before birth. But as the brain
Every brain is initially female in its organisation
and it only becomes a male brain when the
male foetus begins to secrete hormones.
Geschwind and Galaburda knew that different
parts of the brain mature at different rates;
the right hemisphere develops first, then the
left. Moreover, a girls brain
develops somewhat faster than that of a boy.
So, if something happens to the brains
development during pregnancy, it is
hemisphere more likely to be involved is the
left.
The brain may become less lateralised and this
in turn could result in left-handedness and the
development of certain superior skills that
have their origins in the left hemisphere such
as logic, rationality and abstraction. It should
be no surprise then that among
mathematicians and architects, left-handers
tend to be more common and there are more
left-handed males than females.
The results of this research may be some
consolation to left-handers who have for
centuries lived in a world designed to suit
right-handed people. However, what is
alarming, according to Mr. Charles Moore, a
writer and journalist, is the way the word
right reinforces its own virtue.Subliminally he
says, language tells people to think that
anything on the right can be trusted while
anything on the left is dangerous or even
sinister.
We speak of lefthanded compliments and
according to Moore, it is no coincidence that
lefthanded children, forced to use their right
hand, often develop a stammer as they are
robbed of their freedom of speech. However,
as more research is undertaken on the causes

harpoon-like teeth contain a complex venom
known as a conotoxin, making them one of the most
venomous species of snails. If you suffer the unlucky
fate of becoming one of the handful of people ever
stung, head to the emergency room immediately, as
there is no antivenin. The toxin, which stops nerve
cells from communicating with one another, can not
only cause paralysis within moments, butper its
nickname of cigarette snailyou have about
enough time to smoke a stick before dying.
8. Golden Poison Dart Frog
The poison dart is a large, diverse group of brightly
colored frogs that live mostly in northern South
America, of which only a handful of species are
particularly dangerous to humans. The most deadly,
thegolden poison dart, inhabits the small range of
rain forests along Colombias Pacific coast, and grows
to around two inches long (roughly the size of a
paper clip). Its poison, called batrachotoxin, is so
potent that theres enough in one frog to kill ten
grown men, with only two microgramsroughly the
amount that would fit onto the head of a pin
needed to kill a single individual. But what makes the
amphibian especially dangerous is that its poison
glands are located beneath its skin, meaning a mere
touch will cause trouble. Interestingly, the
indigenous Ember people have laced the tips of
their blow darts used for hunting with the frogs toxin
for centuries. Sadly, deforestation has landed the
frog on several endangered lists, but even if you do
have a rare sighting when hiking, dont go reaching
for it.
7. Box Jellyfish
Often found floating (or moving at speeds close to 5
mph) in the Indo-Pacific waters north of Australia,
these transparent, nearly invisible invertebrates are
considered by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration as the most venomous
marine animal in the world. Their namesake cubic
frames contain up to 15 tentacles at the corners, with
each growing as much as 10 feet long, all lined with
thousands of stinging cellsknown as
nematocytesthat contain toxins that
simultaneously attack the heart, nervous system,

6. Puffer Fish
Puffer fish, also known as blowfish, are located in
tropical seas around the globe, especially around
Japan, China, and the Philippines. Though theyre the
second most poisonous vertebrate on the planet
(after the golden arrow dart frog), theyre arguably
more dangerous as their neurotoxin, called
tetrodoxin, is found in the fishs skin, muscle tissue,
liver, kidneys, and gonads, all of which must be
avoidedwhen preparing the creature for human
consumption. Indeed, while wild encounters are
certainly dangerous, the risk of death from a puffer
fish increases when eating it in countries like Japan,
where it is considered a delicacy known as fugu and
can only be prepared by trained, licensed chefs
even then, accidental deaths from ingestion
occur several times each year. The tetrodoxin is up
to 1,200 times more poisonous than that of cyanide,
and can cause deadening of the tongue and lips,
dizziness, vomiting, arrhythmia, difficulty breathing,
muscle paralysis and, if left untreated, death.
5. Black Mamba
Though species like the Boomslang or the King Cobra
are dangerous thanks to their respective poisons,
the Black Mamba is especially deadly due to its
speed. Found in the savannas and rocky areas of
southern and eastern Africa, the species, which can
slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 mph, which makes
escaping one in remote areas that much more
difficult. Thankfully, black mambas usually only strike
when threatenedbut when they do, theyll bite
repeatedly, delivering enough venom (a blend of
neuro- and cardiotoxins) in a single bite to kill ten

infection, methods of protection include wearing
neutral-colored clothing (the tsetse fly is attracted to
bright and dark colors, especially the color blue),
avoiding bushes during the day, and
using permethrin-treated gear in more remote
areas.
2. Mosquitoes
Clocking in at just three millimeters at their smallest,
the common mosquito, even tinier than the tsetse
fly, ranks as the second most dangerous on our list
due to the sheer amount of deaths each year
several of the more than 3,000 species around the
world. Found in every region on the planet except
Antarctica, the irritating insectsprimarily those
from the generaAedes, Anopheles, and Culexare
the primary vectors of diseases such as malaria,
chikungunya, encephalitis, elephantiasis, yellow
fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika
virus, which collectively afflict an estimated 700
million and kill roughly 725,000 people each year. As
the World Health Organization notes, more than half
of the human population is currently at risk from
mosquito-borne diseases. Given that the pests are
attracted to our body temperatures and the CO2 we
exhale, our best tools to prevent infection lie in the
usage of insect repellents high in active ingredients
like DEET and picaridin.
1. Humans
Surprised? After all, were animals too, and since
weve been killing each other for 10,000 years, with
the total deaths from war alone estimated over a
decade ago at between 150 million and 1 billion, its
a no-brainer that we top the list. Though human
beings are said to be living in the most peaceful
period now than at any other time in our history, we
still assault each other with incredibly high rates of
senseless brutality, from gun violence in cities
like Chicago and Orlando to continual terrorist attac
ks around the globe. We're dangerous to other
animals, toothink global warming and the
destruction of forests and coral reefs. Given the

The move has puzzled quite a few as many
other lenders have not changed their policy
Major lender Vietcombank has announced
that it no longer allows money transfers to
foreign cardholders via its ATMs.
The bank said in a statement on its website
that the new policy is in accordance with a
central bank's order. All foreign clients will be
affected by the rule.
A customer service employee at the bank said
on the phone that foreigners can still use their
cards to withdraw money received from a
transfer via a bank office or the Internet, as
long as it is not made via an ATM.
Foreign banks operating in Vietnam such as
ANZ, HSBC and Citibank are still offering the
ATM transfer service for foreigners, so as other
major Vietnamese lenders such as DongA and
Agribank.

With the turn of the calendar, its the perfect
occasion for many Americans to think about
doing things differently starting on Jan. 1.
And while the idea of making a New Years
resolution may sound hokey or clich, a recent
survey from investing giant Fidelity shows that
simply making a plan to improve in the coming
year can be an important part of your overall
financial health.
Fidelity surveyed more than 2,000 Americans
and found that, of those who made financial
resolutions, 52% felt they were better off
financially, while only 41% of those who didnt
make a plan a year ago felt they got ahead.
Similarly, 52% of folks who made a financial
resolution in 2016 felt confident about their
finances improving in the coming year vs. just
37% of those who didnt make a plan.
The top resolution cited in the survey was to
save more, with half of respondents reaching
for that goal. But whatever your plan, the
simple act of making any financial resolution is
good sign youre on the path to more secure
finances, said Ken Hevert, senior vice
Sometimes, a financial resolution doesnt
require a cash outlay, Hevert said, pointing to
things like learning more about the investment
options in your 401(k) and rebalancing your
portfolio.
Other than simply saving more or spending
less, which are common and practical goals,
here are a few other financial resolutions to
consider in 2017:

Save 100% of bonuses and raises: If you want
to save for retirement or a new home, the
easiest way is to simply divert the extra money
you get from raises or bonuses, said Travis
Sollinger, director of financial planning at Fort
Pitt Capital Groupin Pittsburgh.
Compare insurance quotes: Many folks dont
think about insurance if theyre not filing a
claim, but its worth comparing rates in 2017 .
Every several years, review insurance policies
or shop them around to get bundled or better
deals, said Bill Van Sant, managing director
at Girard Partners in Souderton, Pa.
Review documents: If you havent made a will
or medical power of attorney documents,
make this the year you craft them. And if they
already exist but you havent reviewed them in
a decade, then take the time to ensure they
reflect your present situation.

and Iraq most generous
Myanmar was for decades ruled by an
oppressive military junta. However, since the
country returned to democratic ways, things
have changed. The Charities Aid Foundation
(CAF) has just stated that Myanmar is home to
the world's most generous people.
It is the third successive year for the country to
achieve this accolade. The CAF "World Giving
Index" found that 91 per cent of Myanmar
residents gave money to charity in the past
year, 62 per cent helped a stranger, and 55 per
cent claimed they had volunteered.
An economic adviser to Myanmar's president
said: "The results demonstrate very sharply
how a 'poor' country can be a 'rich' one
through its generosity, by focusing on giving
rather than getting."
The report also found that people in Iraq are
the kindest to strangers. Eight in 10 Iraqis are
know in the past year.
The BBC commented on how significant this
statistic was, given the turmoil Iraq has been in
for years because of war. It stated that: "It is
the kindness of Iraqisto complete strangers
in the face of years of conflict and terrible
violence which stands out in the list."
John Low, CEO of the Charities Aid Foundation,
said: "The generosity of people, even in
countries suffering from disaster and turmoil,
is truly humbling." He added: "Unconditional
gifts of time and money are a life-changing
force for good in the world."

ATM
A man attempting to withdraw cash from a
PvcomBank ATM in Hanoi was stunned on
Wednesday when the machine spat out a stack
of papers instead of cash.
Onlookers laughed in amusement upon
noticing the blue papers with 500,000 VND
printed on one side, with many uploading
photos to social media and turning the story
The ATM was put in front of a Big C outlet on
Tran Duy Hung Street, Cau Giay District.
In a statement sent to media the same day,
PvcomBank confirmed the ATM dispensing
paper incident, but explained that the unlucky
man had withdrawn money from a machine
still undergoing a trial run.
The customer happened to withdraw money
when the technical contractor of the machine
had yet to finish the testing phase and there
were no technicians on-site to correct the
error, according to the lender.
Because the ATM had yet to be refilled with
cash, it dispensed sample money,
PVcomBank said.
The lender added it had contacted the
customer and reimbursed him the amount
deducted from his balance following the
troubled withdrawal.
The bank also asserted that its system had
been running smoothly as of late Wednesday.

The average Chinese man was 167.1
centimetres (5.48 feet) tall in 2012, the ps
showed, and women's average height was
155.8 centimetres.
They were up just 0.4 centimetres and 0.7
centimetres respectively from 10 years earlier.
In comparison the Dutch -- the world's tallest
nation -- average 184 centimetres for men and
almost 171 centimetres for women.
The numbers made Chinese people "slightly
shorter" than their neighbours in Japan and
South Korea, the China Daily newspaper said
Wednesday, quoting Liang Xiaofeng, deputy
director of the Chinese Centre for Disease
Control and Prevention.
A report published in The Lancet last year
showed that 363,000 fatalities in China each
year were linked to high body-mass index, an
indicator for heart disease, diabetes and other
ailments.

policy dialogue
Deputy Defence Minister Senior Lieutenant
General Nguyen Chi Vinh and his Philippine
counterpart Honorio S Azcueta on April 13 co-
hosted the first Vietnam- Philippines defence
policy dialogue in Hanoi.
At the dialogue, the two sides assessed the
global and regional situation and issues of
shared concern, and reviewed the results of
defence cooperation over recent years.
They agreed that the Vietnam Philippines
defence cooperation continued to grow
steadily across a variety of realms in a practical
and effective manner.
Regarding orientations for future cooperation,
they consented to realize areas of cooperation
under the framework of the bilateral defence
cooperation agreement signed in October
2010.
Accordingly, both sides pledged to continue
intensifying all-level delegation exchanges,
maintain and improve the efficiency of deputy-
ministerial dialogue mechanisms aiming to
build confidence and perception on
international and regional matters and
bilateral relations.
They underlined the need to increase the
operational efficiency of the joint working
groups and dialogues of naval officers.
The two sides were unanimous in bolstering
cooperation between army troops and sharing
experience in naval offer training, search and
rescue, anti-piracy, dealing with fishermen
related issues and offering mutual support at
multilateral forums, particularly mechanisms
for regional defence and military cooperation
such as ADMM, ADMM +.

Under the new rules, an entrepreneur would
be granted a visa for an initial two year period.
The visa can be extended a further three years
upon demonstrating that the company
continues to enjoy inward investment,
increased revenue and/or is providing
expanded job opportunities.
The White House sees significant potential
benefit to the US economy from its announced
package of immigration reforms:
The administrative reforms announced by the
President in November 2014, if fully
implemented, could boost the nations
shrinking the federal deficit by $65 billion over
the next ten years.
In short, changes to current immigration rules
could expand the economy bringing with it a
higher tax take.
My take
There have always been ways for foreign
nationals to obtain visas to stay in the US but
genuine startup mode. The proposed rule
change lowers the bar significantly while
investment. Whether it leads to a mass exodus
from non-US tech hubs is moot at this point
but significantly reducing the number of hoops
while offering clear guidance makes a
substantial difference.
The central role characteristic is interesting
given that H1-B rules operate differently,
starting with an employee/employer

On behalf of President Obama and the
American people, it is with great pleasure that
I wish the people of Vietnam a joyous National
Day this September 2.
The relationship between our two countries
and peoples is stronger than it has ever been.
We are poised to make even more progress in
the months and years ahead as we work
together to implement the historic initiatives
announced during President Obamas visit to
Vietnam in May.
I was honored to accompany President Obama
on his visit -- my third trip to Vietnam as
Secretary of State -- and was struck, as I always
am, by the remarkable transformation in our
bilateral relations.
From the first time that I stepped foot in
Vietnam as a young soldier in 1968 to my most
recent visit in May, Ive seen incredible changes
taking shape, from the growing city skylines to
the pulsating entrepreneurial energy to the
increasing flow of people, goods, and ideas
from every corner of Vietnam to the United
States and elsewhere.
In the midst of these changes, what remains
constant for me, and what Ive always loved
about Vietnam, is the warmth, and generosity,
and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people.
It is their resiliency and innate desire to move
beyond the shadow of the past toward a more
prosperous, healthy, and free society for their
children and future generations that had
shaped Vietnams trajectory.
Vietnam is a country of tremendous potential,
and Im confident it will have a bright future
thanks to the dedication of its young people,
business community, and active civil society.

The littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth
conducts patrols in international waters of the
South China Sea near the Spratly Islands. The
patrol may be the first of many, as the U.S.
considers enforcing freedom of transit in the
region.
In what may be the first of many to come, a
U.S. Navy littoral combat ship, the USS Fort
Worth, was sent to patrol the Spratly islands in
the South China Sea.
The event signals a growing shift in the region,
as U.S. military leaders consider using aircraft
and ships to challenge the Chinese regimes
claims to territory in the disputed South China
Sea.
Routine operations like the one Fort Worth
just completed in the South China Sea will be
the new normal as we welcome four LCSs to
the region in the coming years, said Capt. Fred
Kacher, commodore, Destroyer Squadron 7,
according to a U.S. Navy report.
He said the United States will deploy multiple
Littoral combat ship to Southeast Asia, which
underscores the importance of this region on
the rise and the value persistent presence
brings.
The deployment is related to a recent
agreement between the United States and the
Philippines, which gives U.S. forces access to at
least eight military bases for troop rotations.
Two of the bases are near the Spratly Islands.
Whats significant about the development,
however, is the timing.

contest the Chinese regimes territorial claims
around its man-made islands in the region.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter is allegedly
looking at options, according to Reuters.
Among the proposals is sending U.S. military
vehicles within 12 nautical miles of the Chinese
regimes man-made islands in the Spratly
island chain.
The move isnt as aggressive as it sounds. The
United States conducted similar operations
after the Chinese regime claimed an air
defense zone over the East China Sea in
November 2013. The United States ignored
Chinese warnings and flew two B-52
bombers over the region.
The United States did so to challenge the
Chinese regimes largely unrecognized
territorial claims, and to encourage other
countries in the region to not give into the
Chinese regimes threats.
Recent developments seem to have the same
intentions. An unnamed U.S. official told
Reuters, We are considering how to
demonstrate freedom of navigation in an area
that is critical to world trade.
Freedom of navigation in the South China Sea
is crucial for trade and security for countries
throughout the Asian region, according to the
Pentagons 2015 annual report to congress on
the Chinese regimes military and security
developments.
More than 80 percent of crude oil for Japan,
South Korea, and Taiwan passes through the
South China Sea, it states.
There are recent and growing concerns that
the Chinese regime will start
enforcing defensive zones around its man-
made islandsand there were recent reports
that it has already begun chasing Philippine
aircraft out of the region.
The Spratly island chain is close to 1,000 miles
south of Chinas southernmost point in
Hainan. Islands and reefs in the region are
claimed by Chinese regime, Taiwan, Vietnam,
Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines.

A passport of convenience
a win-win for some small states
Are you a Global Citizen? Let us help you
become one. You may have seen such an
advertisement in an in-flight magazine
designed to lure some business class
passengers, largely from less-developed
economies, into acquiring a passport that can
smooth their entry at the border of their next
destination. A whole new industry of residence
and citizenship planning has emerged over the
past few years, catering to a small but rapidly
growing number of wealthy individuals
interested in acquiring the privileges of visa-
free travel or the right to reside across much
of the developed world, in exchange for a
significant financial investment.
A growing phenomenon
in emerging market economies, has led to a
significant increase in affluent people
interested in greater global mobility and fewer
travel obstacles posed by visa restrictions,
which became increasingly burdensome after
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
This prompted a recent proliferation of so-
called citizenship-by-investment or economic
citizenship programs, which allow high-net-
worth people from developing or emerging
economy countries to legitimately acquire
passports that facilitate international travel. In
exchange, countries administering such
programs receive a significant financial
investment in their domestic economy. Also
contributing to the rapid growth of such
programs is the pursuit of political and
economic safe havens, in a deteriorating
geopolitical climate and amid increased

Similarly, economic residency programs were

recently launched across a wide range of
(generally much larger) European countries,
including Bulgaria, France, Hungary, Ireland,

known as golden visa programs, these
arrangements give investors residency
rightsand access to all 26 Schengen Area
countries, which have agreed to allow free
movement of their citizens across their
respective borderswhile imposing minimal
residency requirements (see table). Although
these programs differ in that one confers
permanent citizenship while the other
provides just a residency permit, they both
allow access to a large number of countries
with minimal residency requirements, in
return for a substantial investment in their
economies (see Chart 1).
In contrast, some advanced economies, such
as Canada, the United Kingdom, and the
United States, have had immigrant investor
programs since the late 1980s or early 1990s,
offering a route to citizenship in exchange for
specific investment conditions, with significant
residency requirements. In 2014, Canada
eliminated its federal immigrant investor
program, but the provinces of Quebec and
Prince Edward Island continue to run a similar
scheme that leads to Canadian citizenship.
And the United Kingdom and the United States
continue to run and expand their programs.
The cost and design of the programs vary
across countries, but most involve an up-front
investment, in the public or the private sector,
combined with significant application fees and
an amount to cover due diligence costs. The
programs in the Caribbean allow for either a
large nonrefundable contribution to the

which finances strategic investment in the
domestic economy, or an investment in real
estate (which can be resold after a specified
holding period). Other programs provide the
option to invest in a redeemable financial
instrument, such as government securities. In
Malta, the program requires contributions in
all three investment routes.
Economics of citizenship
The inflows of funds to countries from these
programs can be substantial, with far-reaching
macroeconomic implications for nearly every
sector, particularly for small countries (see
Chart 2). Inflows to the public sector alone in
St. Kitts and Nevis, which has the most readily
available data, had grown to nearly 25 percent
of GDP as of 2013. Antigua and Barbuda and
Dominica have also experienced significant
inflows. In Portugal, inflows under the
countrys golden visa program may account for
as much as 13 percent of estimated gross
foreign direct investment inflows for 2014; in
Malta, total expected contributions to the
general government (including the National
Development and Social Fund) from all
potential applicantswhich are capped at
1,800could reach the equivalent of 40
percent of 2014 tax revenues when all
allocated passports are issued.
The macroeconomic impact of economic
citizenship programs depends on the design of
the program, as well as the magnitude of the
inflows and their management. The foremost
impact is on the real sector, where inflows can
bolster economic momentum. Programs with
popular real estate options generate an inflow
similar to that of foreign direct investment,

boosting employment and growth. In St. Kitts
and Nevis, inflows into the real estate sector
are fueling a construction boom, which has
pulled the economy out of a four-year
recessionto a growth rate of 6 percent in
2013 and 2014, one of the highest in the
Western Hemisphere. The rapid increase in
golden visa residency permits in Portugal,
which has issued more than 2,500 visas since
the programs inception in October 2012, has
reportedly bolstered the property market,
leading to a steep rise in the price of luxury real
estate.
However, a large and too rapid influx of
investment in the real estate sector could lead
to rising wages and ballooning asset prices,
with negative repercussions on the rest of the
economy. And the rapid expansion in
construction could erode the quality of new
properties and eventually undermine the
tourism sector, since most of the
developments include (or are repurposed for)
tourist accommodations.
Moreover, inflows under these programs are
volatile and particularly vulnerable to sudden
stops, exacerbating small countries
macroeconomic vulnerabilities. A change in
the visa policy of an advanced economy could
suddenly diminish the appeal of these
programs. Its conceivable that advanced
economies could act together to suspend their
operations, triggering a sudden stop.
Increasing competition from similar programs
in other countries or a decline in demand from
source countries could also rapidly reduce the
number of applicants.
If they are saved rather than spent, inflows
from these programs can substantially
improve countries fiscal performance. In St.
Kitts and Nevis, budgetary revenues from the
program boosted the overall fiscal balance to
more than 12 percent of GDP in 2013, one of
the highest in the world. But these inflows can
also present significant fiscal management
challenges, similar to those caused by windfall
revenues from natural resources (see Sharing

the Wealth in the December 2014 F&D). Such
revenues can lead to pressure for increased
government spending, including higher public
sector wages, even though the underlying
revenues may be volatile and difficult to
forecast. The resulting increase in dependence
on these revenues could lead to sharp fiscal
adjustments or an acute increase in debt, if or
when the inflows diminish.
A countrys external accounts are also
significantly affected by large program inflows.
The budgetary revenues can improve the
countrys current account deficit, and
capital account can be strengthened by
transfers to development funds and higher
foreign direct investment. But increased
domestic spending as a result of higher
government expenditures and investment will
substantially boost imports, particularly in
small open economies, offsetting some of the
initial improvement in the balance of
payments. Risks to the exchange rate and
foreign currency reserves are also magnified
as these inflows become a major source of
external financing. In addition, rising inflation
from economic overheating can cause the real
exchange rate to appreciate, lowering the
countrys external competitiveness over the
long run.
Large program inflows can also boost bank
liquidity, especially if the bulk of the budgetary
receipts are saved in the banking system. At
the same time, they can threaten financial
stability in small states. While some increase in
liquidity may be welcome, large accumulation
of program-related deposits presents new
financial risks, reflecting small banking
systems limited and undiversified options for
credit expansion. Risks to financial stability
may be magnified if banks face excessive
exposure to construction and real estate
sectors already propped up by investments
from the economic citizenship program. In
that case, a sharp decline in program inflows
could prompt a correction in real estate prices,

Managing a reputation
Preserving the credibility of the economic
citizenship program is perhaps the most
critical challenge. A rigorous due diligence
process for citizenship applications is essential
to preclude potentially serious integrity and
security risks. And a comprehensive
framework is needed to curtail the use of
investment options as routes for money
laundering and financing criminal activity.
Such safeguards are integral to the success of
economic citizenship programs. A high level of
transparency regarding economic citizenship
program applicants will further enhance the
programs reputation and sustainability. This
could include a publicly available list of newly
naturalized citizens. Complying with
international guidelines on the transparency
and exchange of tax information would reduce
the incidence of program misuse for purposes
of tax evasion or other illicit activities and
minimize the risk of adverse international
pressure. Countries with similar programs
should also collaborate among themselves
and with concerned partner countries to
improve oversight and ensure that suspicious
applicants are identified.
Moreover, to help garner necessary public
support for these programs, the economic
benefits should accrue to the nation as a
whole. They should be viewed as a national
resource that may not be renewable if the
nations good name is tarnished by
mismanagement. A clear and transparent
framework for the management of resources
is necessary, including a well-defined
accountability framework with oversight and
periodic financial audits. Information on the
number of people granted citizenship and the
amount of revenue earnedincluding its use
and the amount saved, spent, and invested
should be publicly available.

China suffered a sharp drop in exports last
year and there are fears its trading position will
weaken further in 2017 with repercussions for
the global economy if Donald Trumps
protectionist policies prompt a trade war.
A week before the billionaires inauguration as
US president, Chinese authorities expressed
their concern that Trump would follow
through on pledges to impose high tariffs on
imports from China and to brand the country
a currency manipulator. The president-elect
has long maintained that China has been
devaluing its currency in order to make its
exports more competitive on overseas
markets.
Beijings worries come against the backdrop of
a slowdown in trade with figures on Friday
showing exports fell for the second year
running in 2016, dropping by 7.7% the
biggest fall since 2009 with imports falling by
The weaker than expected performance added

Trump has China in his sights as well as Mexico
and other big US trading partners. He has
announced his intention to pull out of the
Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and has
said he wants to renegotiate the North
American Free Trade Agreement between the
US, Canada and Mexico. There are worries the
protectionist mood will spread beyond
America with inward-looking politicians such
as Frances Marine Le Pen gaining ground
against a backdrop of growing discontent at
inequality. But, in the near-term, many
forecasters see a potential economic boost
from Trump taking over, given his pledge to
beef up state spending and cut taxes in the
worlds largest economy.
Political uncertainty is high.
It is not just Trumps arrival in the White House
that is concerning investors. The UKs Brexit
talks kick off this year and there are key
Germany. Added to that are geopolitical
tensions stemming from Russia and elsewhere
so economists therefore see plenty of reasons
that 2017 could again disappoint for global
growth.
Climate change risks.
he World Economic Forum has ranked this as
the second biggest risk it sees for this
year behind rising income and wealth
disparity. That was due in part to the
increasingly frequent extreme weather that
climate change heralds.

Dear Mr. President elect,
In these final days before your inauguration,
we thought it might be helpful to clarify how
we see the relationship between your
administration and the American press corps.
It will come as no surprise to you that we see
the relationship as strained. Reports over the
last few days that your press secretary is
considering pulling news media offices out of
the White House are the latest in a pattern of
behavior that has persisted throughout the
campaign: Youve banned news organizations
from covering you. Youve taken to Twitter to
taunt and threaten individual reporters and
encouraged your supporters to do the same.
Youve advocated for looser libel
laws and threatened numerous lawsuits of
your own, none of which has materialized.
Youve avoided the press when you could and
flouted the norms of pool reporting and
regular press conferences. Youve ridiculed a
because he has a disability.
All of this, of course, is your choice and, in a
way, your right. While the Constitution
protects the freedom of the press, it doesnt
dictate how the president must honor that;
regular press conferences arent enshrined in
the document.
But while you have every right to decide your
ground rules for engaging with the press, we
have some, too. It is, after all, our airtime and
column inches that you are seeking to
influence. We, not you, decide how best to
serve our readers, listeners, and viewers. So
think of what follows as a backgrounder on

what to expect from us over the next four
years.
Access is preferable, but not critical. You may
decide that giving reporters access to your
administration has no upside. We think that
would be a mistake on your part, but again, its
your choice. We are very good at finding
alternative ways to get information; indeed,
some of the best reporting during the
campaign came from news organizations that
were banned from your rallies. Telling
reporters that they wont get access to
something isnt what wed prefer, but its a
challenge we relish.
Off the record and other ground rules are
speak to some of your officials off the record,
or we may not. We may attend background
briefings or off-the-record social events, or we
may skip them. Thats our choice. If you think
reporters who dont agree to the rules, and are
shut out, wont get the story, see above.
We decide how much airtime to give your
spokespeople and surrogates. We will strive to
get your point of view across, even if you seek
to shut us out. But that does not mean we are
required to turn our airwaves or column
inches over to people who repeatedly distort
or bend the truth. We will call them out when
they do, and we reserve the right, in the most
egregious cases, to ban them from our outlets.
We believe there is an objective truth, and we
will hold you to that. When you or your
surrogates say or tweet something that is
demonstrably wrong, we will say so,
repeatedly. Facts are what we do, and we have
no obligation to repeat false assertions; the
fact that you or someone on your team said
them is newsworthy, but so is the fact that they
dont stand up to scrutiny. Both aspects should
receive equal weight.
Well obsess over the details of
government. You and your staff sit in the
White House, but the American government is
a sprawling thing. We will fan reporters out
across the government, embed them in your
agencies, source up those bureaucrats. The
result will be that while you may seek to
control what comes out of the West Wing, well
have the upper hand in covering how your
policies are carried out.
We will set higher standards for ourselves than
ever before. We credit you with highlighting
serious and widespread distrust in the media
across the political spectrum. Your campaign
tapped into that, and it was a bracing wake-up
call for us. We have to regain that trust. And
well do it through accurate, fearless reporting,
by acknowledging our errors and abiding by
the most stringent ethical standards we set for
ourselves.
Were going to work together. You have tried to
divide us and use reporters deep competitive
streaks to cause family fights. Those days are
ending. We now recognize that the challenge
of covering yourequires that we cooperate and
help one another whenever possible. So, when
you shout down or ignore a reporter at a press
conference who has said something you dont
like, youre going to face a unified front. Well
work together on stories when it makes sense,
and make sure the world hears when our
colleagues write stories of importance. We will,
of course, still have disagreements, and even
important debates, about ethics or taste or fair
comment. But those debates will be ours to
begin and end.
Were playing the long game. Best-case
scenario, youre going to be in this job for eight
years. Weve been around since the founding
of the republic, and our role in this great
democracy has been ratified and reinforced
again and again and again. You have forced us
to rethink the most fundamental questions
about who we are and what we are here for.
For that we are most grateful.
Enjoy your inauguration.

Ford broke the silence of the major U.S. automakers
regarding President Trump's partial
immigration ban, criticizing the nascent policy on
Monday.
The criticism further complicates the on-again, off-
again relationship between Ford and Trump.
During his campaign, Trump repeatedly bashed Ford
for its Mexico investments, but in recent weeks the
company has won his praise for its decision to cancel
a Mexico plant and expand certain Michigan
operations.
The auto industry has much to lose by getting on
Trump's bad side. The sector is particularly
vulnerable to Trump's threatened border tax and
would be harmed by a U.S. trade war with China, but
it's also hoping for loosened federal fuel economy
standards.
Ford CEO Mark Fields met multiple times with Trump
in the initial days of his presidency, and Executive
Chairman Bill Ford has repeatedly discussed his
company's manufacturing strategy with him in
recent months.
But Fields and Ford sent an email to Ford employees
Monday assailing the president's 90-day ban on
immigrant travel from seven majority-Muslim
countries.
"Respect for all people is a core value of Ford Motor
Company, and we are proud of the rich diversity of
our company here at home and around the world.
That is why we do not support this policy or any other
that goes against our values as a company," they said
in the email.
Trump promotes trade agenda with car makers
The statement contrasted with silence at General
Motors and Fiat Chrysler. Both companies declined
to comment on the Trump ban.

GM CEO Mary Barra recently agreed to join Trump's
Strategic and Policy Forum of American CEOs
advising the president on economic issues.
Barra and Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio
Marchionne joined with Fields for one of the
meetings with Trump last week.
Meanwhile, the fourth American automaker, electric-
vehicle maker Tesla Motors, denounced the Trump
immigration policy on Saturday. CEO Elon Musk has
Strategic and Policy Forum members on needed
changes to the plan to propose to the president.
"Many people negatively affected by this policy are
strong supporters of the US," Musk said Saturday on
Twitter. "They've done right, not wrong & don't
deserve to be rejected."
Ford cancels Mexico plant, expands U.S. factory and
adds 700 jobs
Few of the automakers' employees are personally
affected by the ban. Their operations in the seven
affected countries are limited."We are not aware, to
date, of any Ford employees directly affected by this
policy," Fields and Ford said in their email. "We will
continue working to ensure the well-being of our
employees by promoting the values of respect and
inclusion in the
workplace."

With this declaration, Clinton ushered in a new
era of the Democratic Party (the so-called New
Democrats), which left behind the working
class and cultivated amiable relationships with
corporate executives and Wall Street
financiers; many of them would eventually
occupy key positions in Clinton's government,
and many of them emerged once
more during the presidency of Barack Obama.
The philosophical bent of the New Democrats
was best summarized by Charles Peters in "A
Neoliberal Manifesto," in which he defines
neoliberalism as an ideology perfect for those
who "no longer automatically favor unions and
big government or oppose the military and big
business." Democrats, since Peters penned his
manifesto, have far exceeded the bounds of
this seemingly neutral stance.
Bill Clinton, for his part, destroyed
welfare, deregulated Wall
Street, worsened the growing mass
incarceration crisis, and signed into law the
North American Free Trade Agreement, a
sweeping deal that harmed millions of
workers, in the United States, Mexico, and
elsewhere.
Today, President Obama, in partnership with
congressional Republicans, is lobbying
aggressively for the so-called Trans-Pacific
Partnership, which has been deemed by critics
"NAFTA on steroids." The agreement, if made
the law of the land, will encompass 40% of
global GDP and will grant massive
companies unprecedented power.
Despite President Obama's promises of
transparency, the public has been forced
to rely on leaked information to glean any
specifics about the deal and, based on the
information we have, the agreement is
a disaster for workers and the environment
and, unsurprisingly, a boon for multinational
corporations.
Democrats, in short, have left the working class
in the dust, often using "the excuse," as a
recent New York Times editorial put it, "that
they need big-money backers to succeed."

Republicans, meanwhile, as Chomsky has
observed, are "dedicated with utter servility" to
the interests of the wealthy, and their party,
with its longing for war and denial of climate
science, "is a danger to the human species."
So we are faced with a political system largely
devoted to the needs of organized wealth,
which leaves working people anxious, worried
about the future, and, as we have seen, very
angry. In essence, political elites on both
sides have created a vacuum into which a
charismatic and loudmouthed demagogue can
emerge.
As Chomsky noted in his interview with
that no honest, charismatic figure has
arisen. Every charismatic figure is such an
obvious crook that he destroys himself, like
McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist
preachers. If somebody comes along who is
charismatic and honest this country is in real
trouble because of the frustration,
disillusionment, the justified anger and the
absence of any coherent response."
That was in 2010. Now, in 2016, we have
Donald J. Trump, the presumptive nominee of
the Republican Party.
Trump is, of course, not "honest" in any
meaningful definition of the word, but his
supporters believe that he "tells it like it is."
They view him as a no-nonsense straight-
talker, a man not confined by the limits of
political correctness.
To garner votes, Trump has tapped into the
fears and animosities of members of the white
working class who previously backed
Republicans but now view the party as a
collection of bureaucrats who have sold them
out.
Trump, they believe, is different. He isn't
bought, they say; he uses his own money,
accrued by his uncanny deal-making abilities.
He's an outsider; he'll stand up to the stuffy
elite. And he, above all, speaks the truth about
who they perceive as the real enemies not

billionaires like Trump, but illegal immigrants
and Muslims.
"What are people supposed to think if
someone says 'I have got an answer, we have
an enemy'?" Chomsky asked. In Germany, he
added, "it was the Jews. Here it will be the
illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be
told that white males are a persecuted
minority."
Sound familiar?
"We will be told we have to defend ourselves
and the honor of the nation," Chomsky
continued. "Military force will be exalted.
People will be beaten up. This could become
an overwhelming force."
As Matt Taibbi has observed, America,
specifically America's political elite, "made
Trump unstoppable."
Trump has been viewed with bewilderment by
politicians who have divorced themselves from
the needs of the people and who have sold
them false goods to get ahead. But Trump, as
Chomsky's prescient interview demonstrates,
was inevitable.
"The mood of the country is frightening,"
Chomsky concluded. "The level of anger,
frustration and hatred of institutions is not
organized in a constructive way. It is going off
into self-destructive fantasies."
Trump embodies the fantasy: He is the anger,
the hammer with which his supporters hope to
smash America's institutions and take America
back to a mythical, blissful past.
America's political class has not simply faltered
under the weight of the Trump phenomenon;
its failures created him, and the establishment
is now faced with a choice. It will either
address the legitimate concerns of the people
who are attracted to Trump's fake populism
from his critiques of disastrous trade deals to
his contempt for America's foreign policy elite
or it will resign itself to the fact that the
Republican Party is now the party of Donald
Trump, who says out loud what Republicans
have been saying in code for decades.

to Donald Trump, whose inflammatory

is the first woman in her family to ever attend
college, obtaining a B.A. in economics from the
College of William and Mary and an M.S. in
foreign service from Georgetown University.
She became a national security specialist in the
Office of the U.S. Secretary of Defense
after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Now, the 37-year-old works as an executive at
Sungate Capital, where she leads investment
efforts and implements initiatives in
government affairs. She also teaches business
and social entrepreneurship at Rollins College.
Following her victory, Murphy expressed
gratitude to Mica, including his wife, for serving
Central Florida for a long time:
First and foremost, I want to thank
Congressman Mica and his wife, Pat, for his
many of years of service. While we may not
have agreed on many of the issues, we respect
his service.
In addition, she promised to work with both
Democrats and Republicans and always put
people over politics.
Meanwhile, Mica, who easily won the last 12
elections, conceded to Murphy on Tuesday
night:
It has been my honor to serve the district,
state, and nation and Im proud of my
accomplishments both in Florida and in

unexplained. Theres a profoundly revealing
geopolitical story to be told in North America,
but it is not to be found here.
Japan, an island nation short on industrial
resources, became a maritime power by
necessity, and were shown how it used this
capability to invade and annex great swaths of
East and Southeast Asia in the 1930s and
1940s. Oddly, imperial Japans ambitious
geopolitical strategy eastward into the Pacific
is entirely ignored, including the nanshin the
southward advance toward the tropical
South Pacific that had been on the national
agenda since the 1880s. To counter European
intrusion, Japan declared war on Germany in
across Micronesia, which were then subjected
to intensive colonization, development and
militarization schemes. These islands the
Marianas, Marshalls and Carolines were
critical to Tokyos strategy to win the Pacific
War and were captured by U.S. forces only
after a staggering loss of life on both sides. The
Pacific, the largest geographical feature on
Earth, is an unfortunate piece to drop from an
analysis of a maritime Pacific nations
worldview.
Marshall is on much firmer ground when
discussing Russia. He provides a convincing
analysis of Russian geopolitical thinking, a
result of living on a flat plain that, despite its
enormous size, lacks unfettered, year-round
access to the open ocean. For centuries,
Russian leaders have sought to establish
buffer zones from invasion occupying
Ukraine, Poland, Siberia and the Far East
and to follow Peter the Greats advice to
approach as near as possible to
Constantinople and India so as to reach open
seas. It doesnt matter if the ideology of those
in control is czarist, Communist, or crony
capitalist, Marshall writes, the ports still
freeze and the North European plain is still
flat.
Prisoners of Geography also makes clear the
terrible price the world has had to pay because

unit in the Chinese military's 27th Army, was
ordered to drive his troops on a nine-day trip
during a training exercise in Inner Mongolia, he
lost over half his force in the event.
In the first 48 hours of the 2013 North Sword
1405 exercise, Hou looked on as all 40 tanks in
his battalion broke down one after another.
Only 15 could be repaired and continue the
145-mile march, as reported by a People's
Liberation Army (PLA) news service.
Despite simulating a noncombat situation, the
battalion lost virtually all of its equipment in an
experience that Hou, who has served for 32
years, described as "painful."
The North Sword 1405 debacle is indicative of
the challenges facing China's officers.
Despite the Chinese regime's recent efforts to
carry out broad changes and upgrades, many
cracks in the PLA persist in the quality of its
personnel training and equipment, according
to experts and reports.
Obsolete and mismatched tanks
Hou's experience in the North Sword exercise
is not surprising. Of thousands of tanks
currently in service with the PLA, the
overwhelming majority are variants of the T-
55, a Soviet design first produced shortly after
World War ll.
Upgrades and retrofits have extended the
lifespan of this successful weapon, but after
over 60 years of service, the design simply
does not fit in a modern arsenal.
Particularly following the 1991 Gulf War, in
which American aircraft and armor laid waste
to thousands of Soviet and Chinese-built
vehicles.
The PLA has been making new procurements

Soviet design philosophies, to keep pace.
It might not be enough, however. According to
a February report by War on the Rocks, a
military analysis blog, what modernizations
the PLA's armored forces have carried out may
well be a hindrance, as they are far from
comprehensive.
New equipment is trickled into service
with "multiple generations under one roof," to
paraphrase from a Chinese proverb.
The slow, uncertain pace of upgrades force
officers to frequently readjust their battle
plansa reality that, combined with the
overall quality of PLA training, does not bode
well for the force's prospects in a modern
conflict.

results. While of the PLA's aircraft, like its
tanks, are old models such as the locally
produced J-7 and J-8.
China has added hundreds of fourth-

One example is the J-11 interceptor, a Chinese
copy of the Soviet Su-27SK air superiority
fighter.
The PLA's air force ordered this plane in 1992,
and afterward began producing the J-11 locally
with Russian-provided components, namely
engines.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the
Chinese regime has been eager to purchase
advanced weapons from the Russian
government. This partnership has only
partially borne fruit.
The Kremlin, wary of the Chinese propensity to
steal and reverse-engineer foreign technology,
has tended to guard its secrets carefully,
leading to various abortive deals at the PLA's
expense.
Hoping to wean themselves off the Russian-
supplied engines that are essential for the

is needed to develop effective tactics and
strategies.
A recent report titled "China's Incomplete
Military Transformation," published by the
RAND Corporation, analyzed personnel
deficiencies in many sectors of the PLA,
including the 2nd Artillery Corps, which
controls China's nuclear weapons.
According to a report by the Project 2049
Institute think tank, in the summer of 2012,
2nd Artillery personnel conducting a 15-day
military exercise in an underground bunker
complex could not hold out to the end.
About halfway through the drill the personnel
were so distraught that female troops from a
PLA "cultural performance troupe" had to be
brought in to cheer them up.
Theorizing that young men were not suited for
long subterranean shifts, the 2nd Artillery tried
a shortened, three-day-long version of the
exercisethis time with women.
The results were even more disappointing. A
sizable portion of the personnel had to receive
psychological counselling by the second day,
and some even refused to eat.
Halfway through the drill the personnel were
so distraught that female troops had to be
brought in to cheer them up.
China maintains a large fleet of submarines,
including nuclear-powered subs carrying
ballistic missiles, but among the five nations on
the United Nation Security Council, only the
Chinese have yet to send their nuclear missile
subs on an operational patrol.
In a high-profile case from 2003, a Chinese
diesel-powered submarine sank with all
hands, revealing the poor state of training and
maintenance in the PLA's naval forces.
Raised under the restrictive one-child policy,
80 percent of the PLA's combat troops are only
children who grew up receiving the exclusive
attention of their parents and grandparents, a
Chinese general told The New York Times.

following orders and cooperating in a highly

collectivist military environment may be a
challenge. Scott W. Harold, one of the authors
of the RAND report told the New York Times
that "kids come into the army who are used to
being coddled and the apple of their parents'
eyes."
The quality and utility of PLA training exercises
is a subject of frequent criticism from and
directed at Chinese officers.
Exercises are often rigged by commanders
attempting to impress their superiors, and
military publications point at excessive
"formalism" in training.
Overall, the PLA has often found itself hard-
pressed to simulate the realistic environments
that would reveal weaknesses in its military
doctrine and provide planners opportunities
to improve.
In addition to requiring more funds for fuel,
ammunition, and other supplies needed for
improved training, the PLA faces a systemic
roadblock that lies in its founding nature, that
is, its role as the armed wing of the Chinese
Communist Party.
Under the party's leadership
To keep the "gun" under the control of the CCP,
the PLA had to be subordinated to the Party
and kept away from Chinese civil oversight.
Communist ideology pervades all levels of the
PLA.
According to a report by the Sinodefense news
website, officers spend over a third of their
time engaging in "political work," a term for
ideological meetings, study sessions, and
indoctrination.
All Chinese career officers are Communist
Party members, and all units larger than a
platoon are supervised by a political officer to
ensure that Party discipline is maintained. At
the top levels of the PLA, key decisions are
made by political committees.
The heavily politicized nature of the PLA, as
well as the fact that the Communist Party
keeps it in relative seclusion from civil
agencies, contributes to severe corruption in
its organization.
 Like the Party, the PLA operates largely above
the lawembezzlement and illicit business are

The 13 most 'miserable' countries in Europe
LIFE on the continent has often been
considered a laid-back, sun-drenched
alternative to Britain.
But in recent years, economic woes have cast
a dark cloud over Europe.
And a look at the formidable factors of both
unemployment and inflation can be used to
look at the misery of economic hardship in
Western Europe, according to an investment
management company.
Hermes Investment used data from the
eurozone and its own projections to calculate
and the findings certainly don't make for
happy reading.
Overall the most miserable countries are those
who have put austerity measures in place to
cut fiscal deficits and debt, said the company.
Greece was found to be the most miserable of
all, perhaps of little surprise given that the
debt-laden country is on the brink of
bankruptcy. And it's outlook for isn't great
either, said Neil Williams, chief economist at
Hermes.
He predicts that Greece will stay in the euro to
avoid the far harsher fallout of leaving but that
by doing will ensures a veil of gloom for the
country for the immediate future.
The happiest countries were found to be
Ireland and Germany.
But thanks to lost growth and jobs, overall
eurozone 'misery' is typically higher than when
the euro became the single currency.
Furthermore, the biggest economies,
Germany, France and Italy, were found to be
more miserable than the before the economic
crisis, as intra-regional trade remains
subdued, said Hermes.
Britain didn't factor into the index, which
reflects the euro currency area.
Most miserable countries:
