Speechat the launch of project 'Capacity Enhancement for Intensive International Integration of Viet Nam toward 2020'
Speaker: UNDP Country Director, Ms. Louise Chamberlain
Date: December 20th, 2:00pm
Event: Launch of Project 'Capacity Enhancement for Intensive International Integration of Viet Nam toward 2020'
Venue: MOFA, No. 1 Ton That Dam Street, Ha Noi
Honorable Phạm Bình Minh, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Honorable Bùi Thanh Sơn, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen,
It is a great pleasure to be part of our joint launch today of the project 'Capacity Enhancement for Intensive International Integration of Viet Nam toward 2020'.
May I on behalf of the United Nations commend the Government of Viet Nam, and in particular the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), for its efforts in broadening external relations, engaging proactively in international integration and taking initiatives to find solutions to issues of common interests of the regional and global community such as global climate change, sustainable development, food security, achieving the Millennium Development Goals, Anti-Corruption and Human Rights.
Viet Nam's already active efforts in economic integration has paid off as the country's economy has grown exponentially in the last twenty years, resulting in a remarkable improvement in the quality and longevity of life for its people.
However, there are challenges ahead. While Viet Nam has reached the lower middle income status, the per capita income remains one of the lowest in the Asian region. Economic integration is currently widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Too few jobs are generated for the youth and in informal sectors. Disparity among population groups is widening as poverty, low education and poor health remain persistent among the Ethnic Minority groups and in remote areas. The country faces a challenge in ensuring that an educated and skilled workforce can maintain the momentum of economic growth. In addition to the negative impacts of global crises, prolonged macro-economic difficulties are posing challenges for Viet Nam to continue its impressive development path.
Facing such challenges, Viet Nam is looking for ways to "restructure" its economies and "renovate" its growth model, to move upwards in the value chain and at the same time ensure that the growth is inclusive and equitable, that it is sustainable and resilient to economic and climate shocks.
Through this project, UNDP will continue our support to increase the government of Viet Nam's access to the most advanced development thinking and most updated information on the changing nature of the international political economy, and to relevant international experiences and expertise needed for Viet Nam to address these challenges.
This will be done through the project supported policy research, analyses and debates, especially on impact of integration policies and/or of specific bilateral agreements on human development in Viet Nam. An important component of this support is the continuation of the Viet Nam Executive Leadership Programme (VELP) as a unique mechanism to provide an elite cohort of Vietnamese policymakers and executive leaders with intensive training sessions and an opportunity to engage in focused discussion with leading/world class academics, practitioners and corporate executives.
This support is a small but strategic contribution to Viet Nam's efforts in ensuring that growth regains robustness and brings equal benefits to the poor, generates jobs, and translates into social development progress. As a key development partner for the Government of Viet Nam, we also hope that the project will help accelerate progress in implementation of already identified and decided necessary reforms.
The project will also aim to strengthen Viet Nam's contribution to the formulation of global agendas and solutions to global problems. The support will enable Vietnamese officials to exchange relevant development experience with other developing countries in a wide range of disciplines.
Your Excellency, Minister BinhMinh,
I take this opportunity to thank the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other key Government institutions for the good partnership in formulating this project. I believe that our continued cooperation and good lessons we have learned from the past will contribute to the successful implementation of this project. I look forward to seeing its concrete contributions to further development of Viet Nam, beyond the low level middle income status and towards prosperity for all Vietnamese.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
Xin Chúc các vị đại biểu sức khỏe, hạnh phúc và thành đạt trong Năm Mới.

Bose VideoWave: Company's first TV unveiledPocket-lint
American audio specialist Bose has entered the TV market for the very first time, but promises that its newly-crafted 46-inch VideoWave is more than a simple screen.
For starters, it isn't actually a TV as such; it doesn't come with a tuner. It is designed to be hooked up, via its separate Unify control console, to separate sources, such as a Virgin Media or Sky box. One lead then connects the media device to the screen itself.
However, what it lacks in internal content shenanigans, it more than makes up in innovation. Not only is it the very first component in Bose's arsenal to utilise the company's trimmed down, back to grass-roots remote control, the Bose Click Pad, it features an array of speakers within its beefy footprint that would make most home cinema systems go green with envy. It gives the VideoWave audio performance unlike any other flatscreen that has come before it.
At the front is a CCFL LCD, supplied by a "leading manufacturer", whereas the rear is where the magic happens.
The subwoofer, and low bass response, is supplied by the company's proprietary WaveGuide technology, cunningly looped in an "M" formation in the bowels of the beast. It downfires, so much so that Dr Hilmar Lehnert, manager of audio engineering, jokes that, "the side benefit is that if you sit it on a table, you never have to dust anymore".
Mid-range frequencies are supplied by a seven driver array; three on the left, three on the right and one in the centre. These beam sound around, bouncing off walls to create a pseudo surround sound effect.
Lastly, the high frequencies are achieved with the use of PhaseGuide sound radiator technology. But it is the digital signal processing that makes the whole unit sing with both precision and guts.
There is a price to pay for such innovation though, £6000 to be precise (6800 euros). However, it really needs to be heard to realise that this is in a class of its own. Expect it to hit retail in October.
What do you think? Would you pay for innovation and audio quality? Let us know in the comments below...

Doubtful that he'll ever be executed. Most likely he'll end up serving a life sentence with no chance of parole. If he doesn't like the police he really will hate the guards.

Hearsay and irrelevant comments from a vengeful ex-girlfriend.
Every american has the right and duty to act in the same manner of self defense from an oppressive and invading government military force unknown invader attacks your home. Many other Americans have proclaimed the same comment about government and agents invading their homes. Every one says this so the police acted in a wrongful manner to tear down the house and sacred sanctuary. Home invasions proclaiming they are police is common and the police failed to take that into account by the means and methods they chose to break in and search the home. Better a dead invader than victimized homeowner.
The police here are trying to insinuate that Mathew knew of the planned invasion and prepared himslef to repel the aggression of government who had wrongfully used a search warrant to invade his home, then blow it up just for hate and criminal vengeance.
I and millions of other americans would love to be on this jury and acquit this man of any wrong, and in-fact propose criminal invasion by the military police department.

In regards to My2Cents comments, we live in a society protected by laws. In
order for those laws to be upheld for the good of society, we need police
officers. Those police officers were upholding the laws that they promised to
You failed to note that we as a society have a significant voice regarding what becomes law. The majority of society has decided that drugs like marijuana are detrimental to the well-being of others and should not be allowed. If evidence is wanted to support this, just look at what this guy did. He either willfully fired upon these "oppressive...government military force[s]" or he was so deranged by his use of these illegal drugs that he had become psychologically paranoid.
Under My2Cents definition, any government that prohibits any action whatsoever is oppressive. That's a call for anarchy that would be rejected by anyone that places the well-being of society before selfish addictions.

This is going to be quite the trial. The Task Force failed, and now they will have to answer for a military style home invasion. Could go either way.

re: Arizona 1
What laws did Kathryn Johnston, Cheryl Noel, or the other 40 or so innocent people killed by no knock police raids break?
Sorry Charlie, but with home invasions occurring and the relative ease that criminal thugs can impersonate police officers, it's time for police officers to stop impersonating criminal thugs in their methods. Will save both innocent folks AND police officers.

"With the relative ease that criminal thugs can impersonate police officers,
it's time for police officers to stop impersonating criminal thugs."
Beautifully stated.
There are approximately 2,000 violent crimes, just the violent ones, committed in USA every year by persons impersonating police officers.
It is therefore reasonable for a person to not believe cops who come busting into their house in the middle of the night, even if they do identify themselves, which in fact, they often don't.
Would it not be better all around for the police to serve search warrants in an orderly, adult, respectful manner?

We need a really really talented designer to come up with a general branding for our up-coming UGC site. Here are a list of sites that you will get a idea of what this upcoming website will do:
* http://thepetspot.co.uk/
* http://www.magicfreebiesuk.co.uk/
* http://fiverr.com/
* Gumtree.com
Get the gist? The website will be a UGC website for people who is offering something and some people wanting something.
Please start the application with 'UGC design' so that I know you've read the post thoroughly.
The main feel of the website needs to be:
* Fresh
* Easy to use
* Straight forward
* Amicable (friendly)
What does the website do:
* People can seek help for free within their wanted areas
* People can offer free help for others within their wanted areas
We want the following pages and designs:
* Logo
* Website layout (please be aware that this will be turned into WP in the future so no weird layout)
* Website background
* Posting page
* User profile page
* User registration and login page (this could be so simple like Fiverr or twitter)
* Blogging and news page
All designs must be done in photoshop or something easy to be modified with separated layers.
You won't get upfront payment but for each milestone we will pay an installment. So for example, when we sign off the logo we can settle for 10% of overall, etc.
Finally - you need to be good at communication so must be able to understand what I wanted. So quote a ending line with 'Good English' so that I know you have read.
That's it for now - trust me there will be a lot more works involved in the future if you are the right candidate. Consider it as jackpot :)

Super Rugby
Every year Super Rugby throws up new talent. Aaron Smith, Brodie Retallick and Liam Coltman are recent examples who stole the headlines. Liam Napier highlights five rookies on the rise this year.
Patrick Tuipulotu (Blues)
Tall, mobile, and boasting a solid frame, Tuipulotu has all the attributes. You won't see him again for at least three weeks, while he overcomes a leg injury, but it is already evident the 21-year-old is Auckland's best locking prospect since Ali Williams. The try he set-up against the Crusaders - by plucking the ball out of the air from the kick-off and off-loading one-handed - highlighted his natural athletic abilities. Ball carrying grunt is another asset. A product of New Zealand schools and under-20s, Tuipulotu missed most of last year's NPC with two jaw operations. He was forced to consume meals through a straw but wasted no time regaining the weight, or form. Body position into contact is his biggest work-on - bending from such height (1.98m) can be difficult. Crucially, though, he gets off the ground quickly at lineout time and is also said to be easily coachable. Higher honours await.
Liam Squire (Chiefs)
Two years ago, Squire's world was torn apart by a knee operation. After a series of knockbacks - shoulders and elbows had also broken down - he considered giving the game away. Instead, he completely rebuilt his striking physical stature (113kg/1.96m) in the gym and, with the guidance of step-father Mike Fraser, renewed his drive. Squire first rose to prominence with Tasman, after transferring to the local Marist club from Manawatu, alongside locking brother, Daniel. Skilled with ball in hand, powerful and harnessing a willing attitude he made an immediate impression. Squire will take time to grasp the intensity and constant demands Super Rugby requires. Life among All Blacks is also something new. Already, though, management at the defending champions describe his talents as "special". The Chiefs have long been searching for a No.8 so the opportunity is his to take. At 23, Squire hasn't been rushed, either. With a continued level head, expect him to make the most of this second chance.
Malakai Fekitoa (Highlanders)
How the heck did the Blues let this dynamo go?
By now you must have seen his huge hit on All Blacks centre Conrad Smith. Well timed, and executed with precision. Smith's arms just saved him from a few broken ribs last week. That tackle, though, merely scratches the surface of Fekitoa's budding skills. His line-speed alone is a thing of beauty. Astonishingly, the abrasive centre couldn't get a look in at the Blues, his home franchise, last year. And so another talented Auckland-raised player was allowed to slip through. Fekitoa trekked south, leaving the Blues to play George Moala out of position in the midfield, and had his revenge. Emotion was vivid as he slammed the ball into the turf after carving up the Blues in week one. In terms of development, the move turned out to be a blessing. The 21-year-old would have again been on the outer at the Blues this year. At the Highlanders, his aggressive presence and line-breaking abilities have made him a permanent fixture. Ball security into contact was once a criticism but he's worked hard to eliminate those errors from his game. Continue on this path and the Tongan-born prodigy with an incredible back story is a strong contender for rookie of the year.
Simon Hickey (Blues)
Self-assured without a hint of arrogance; that's the wide-spread feedback on this grounded first five-eighth. It speaks volumes that Hickey is, once again, eligible to represent New Zealand at this year's under-20s World Cup on home soil. After assuming the problematic 10 jersey for the Blues he will be full of confidence at that level. Perhaps his mature, measured approach can be attributed to his cricketing talents - he scored multiple centuries and for two years running was New Zealand's best schoolboy batsmen. Don't be fooled by his diminutive stature (83kg), Hickey is not shy to stand up in weekly meetings and deliver the game-plan to his senior, more illustrious team-mates. That is, after all, what's required of a general. This year's opportunity arrived earlier than expected but Hickey, who can also cover halfback, has shown poise to land 56 points at 92 percent (before last night's game). He's also set-up two tries. His only faults to date have come on defence. He's missed five tackles, though not through lack of courage.
Kane Hames (Highlanders)
This time last year Hames' full-time job involved organising ripper rugby. Working as a resource development officer for the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union, he was content to pack down for the Tauranga Sports Club. One breakout season later and he's fast forging a reputation as a destructive scrummager. Hames is a rarity in the modern game - he didn't come through a glamour school or any age-grade ranks. At the start of last year he was a third-string prop. Injuries opened the door to professional rugby and the 25-year-old late bloomer hasn't looked back. In his debut season, Hames played every NPC match for the Steamers and, thus far, has nailed the loose-head role for the Highlanders. He's said to be pumping out impressive squat numbers and, as a man of Christian faith, it's no surprise those attributes have seen former All Black Brad Thorn take him under his wing. Many Tauranga youngsters, having been part of the ripper rugby scene, are now, thanks to Hames, loyal Highlanders followers. His biggest challenge to date? Adjusting to the icy Dunedin climate.

Nvidia Inspector: Simple overclocking for Nvidia video cards
If you're trying to squeeze a little more juice out of your Nvidia video card, consider Nvidia Inspector (free). This overclocking package from Orbmu2K takes a different tack from older video card utilities, eschewing the system tray for a simple, extensible-pane interface that puts information and card controls front and center.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: 6 things every IT person should know ]
Nvidia Inspector doesn't stay resident in memory once your changes are made. This straightforward approach means everything from driver options to crazy clock speeds are in easy reach, controlled by simple sliders. Moreover, monitoring tools display a running graph of input from card sensors in real time; very useful when troubleshooting problems. If you like the sound of this, but are an AMD aficionado, look to AMD OverDrive instead.

Upgrade D3 to D4 or D4s?

Re: Upgrade D3 to D4 or D4s?
In reply to JK5700 • Jun 18, 2014
I went from the D3 to a D4s. The AF is better with the D4s, and the frame rate rocks. However, if I could do it all again, I would seriously consider a used D4. My D4s has been in for a shutter malfunction 3 times in five weeks, and the D4 loaner I am using is itself a wonderful upgrade to the D3.

Jules Siedenburg (in this issue of DPR) has misunderstood the purpose of our 1994 book, which was to differentiate between long-run forces of change and the impact of particular projects. The methodology we adopted is rehearsed in this response, as it authenticates our data. His attack on our use of price data is rebutted. From our data we expanded our original model and derived the policies that had encouraged farmer investment and technology change. Our work can be rebutted if these policies fail, not by the mere existence of continued degradation or failure to adopt particular technical recommendations. We have since tested our model in comparable areas of dryland Africa, and the cited works by others generally support our findings.

Utah Museum of Contemporary Art tackles politics, immigration in new exhibits
Fredrik Nilsen, David Kordansky Gallery
SALT LAKE CITY — In an election year, art's propensity to challenge and foster intellectual discussion is as important as ever, and the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art reflects this. On Friday, the museum unveiled a new roster of exhibitions that address such relevant and timely issues as immigration, terrorism and economic inequality.
"As a curator, I have always been interested in and motivated by sociopolitical issues," said Rebecca Maksym, curator of exhibitions for UMOCA.
Maksym has amassed a reputation for engineering shows that examine the imperative social and political questions of the 21st century; last year's "Panopticon: Visibility, Data and the Monitoring Gaze" highlighted the psychological nuances of America's post-9/11 existence.
Twice a year, the museum closes for two weeks as workers install new exhibitions in each of its galleries. The reveal of the exhibits serves as the culmination of months of hard work and introduces members of the public to new artists and topics they are unlikely to encounter anywhere else in Utah.
Visitors will encounter plenty of intriguing and complex artworks in the museum's newest exhibitions.
Among them are Andrew Moncrief's "A Strange Feeling," a small showcase of six figurative paintings, and Paul Crow's photographic installation "Here," a show in conjunction with UMOCA's artist-in-residence program.
David Brothers' "Rolithica" presents an intriguing collection of carefully polished photographs. The images display scenes of figures immersed in dilapidated environments. Each disguised by masks, shadows and clutter, these figures possess troubling reminders of urban decay and abandonment marked by Brothers' blatant juxtaposition of haunting grey landscapes with brightly colored vintage signs and advertisements. Perhaps the most interesting part of this exhibition is a multidimensional cave installation, which is strewn with melancholic tokens of human presence and activity.
Premiering in the museum's Codec Gallery is an exhibition co-curated by Maksym and Elena Shtromberg, associate professor of art history at the University of Utah. Yoshua Okon's "Oracle" is a fascinating video installation aimed at "(encouraging) viewers to relate historical events with current debates on immigration," according to a news release. "Oracle" is named after the small Arizona town in which a 2014 protest by former military and police members sought to halt illegal immigration. Okon's imagery re-creates the protest and compares it with footage of singing Central American children apprehended in a detention center for unaccompanied foreign minors.
UMOCA's main gallery serves as the sprawling location suited for its most ambitious exhibitions. Thanks to a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation, the main gallery is home to "Ideologue," a group show exploring the role of art in both the political and cultural realms.
"These artists are connected to so many of the political dialogues happening in this country, issues as broad as terrorism, global chaos and the effects of mass media," Maksym said.
It's fitting that a grant in honor of art giant Andy Warhol serves as the catalyst for the exhibition because the show's combination of visual pizzaz and satirist humor owes much of its fluency to pop art.

East Farms students present projects to other classrooms
Like schools throughout the country, East Farms STEAM Magnet School in the East Valley School District has been busy wrapping up before summer vacation and thinking back on the work staff and students have been doing.
On Friday, the school held its third cumulative day, during which students visit other classrooms and learn about projects they have been working on and how they have answered the schoolwide trimester theme, "How do we impact the Earth?"
Principal Tammy Fuller said the first cumulative day at the end of the first trimester was fairly stressful for teachers and students as they tried to come up with a creative presentation for the other students. By the third trimester, Fuller said everyone agreed on a way to make the day simpler.
"Just have your kids present what they've learned," Fuller said.
Angie Bordwell's seventh-grade science class showed off plants they have been growing and learning about.
Alan Neilson explained how plants take energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, showing off his watermelon plant.
"I'm going to plant it in my garden," he said.
Fuller said plans are in motion for next year, with more special STEAM activities, including an evening event.
And, parents are calling Fuller to learn about choicing into the school because of these programs.
"Our teachers did this work," she said. "It's been kind of miraculous."
Scores on the rise
As the programs at East Farms have grown during the past three years, test scores have been increasing as well.
This year's test scores won't be available until sometime this summer, but scores from the previous years' Measurements of Student Progress tests are available on the website of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
During the 2009-10 school year, of the fourth-graders (who are in the seventh grade now) at East Farms, almost 65 percent met reading standards, and nearly 40 percent met math standards.
The next school year, 2010-11, of those same students, almost 52 percent met reading standards and almost 55 percent met math standards.
But last year's scores showed significant improvement in that same group of students. Almost 67 percent met reading standards and almost 69 percent met math standards.
Fuller said she believes this jump is a result of collaboration time for teachers that began in 2010-11, the year the scored dipped. She said teachers focus on the four questions of the school improvement plan: What do we expect our children to learn? How will we know when they have learned it? How will we respond when they don't learn? How will we respond when they already know it?
Along with these questions, they spend time analyzing academic growth in the students and their own teaching.
"It's the most powerful work I've ever been involved in," Fuller said. She said during the first year of collaboration time, teachers and staff learned the process. The last two years they started doing the work and aligning the curriculum with state standards and the upcoming common core standards.
"It changes the way you teach," she said.
Districtwide, of fourth-graders in 2009-10, about 71 percent met standards in reading, and about 54 percent met math standards. The next year, 2010-11, almost 59 percent of those same students met reading standards and about 64 percent met math standards. Last year, 2011-12, almost 76 percent met reading standards and almost 63 percent met math standards.

Got a favourite romantic ski resort we haven't mentioned? Tell us your tales in the comments below.
One of the most frequently asked questions we get is where is good for après. The quality of the après scene could make or break a ski holiday for some. After a long day on the mountain, many of us love to unwind and celebrate with a cold beer, great music and dancing. Austria has the best après bars in the world. If you crave a lively ski resort full of lots of entertainment after a day of skiing or snowboarding then look no further than the picturesque villages and beautiful mountains of Austria. Get your après boots at the ready and take a look at our contenders for the best après in Austria:
This party town is popular with younger crowds with its large club like venues such as Whisky Mule and Salven Stadl which are open to the early hours. If you prefer a quieter après venue there are plenty of more sophisticated bars in Soll such as Bella Vita and Rossini café. With around 30 restaurants and bars in resort there are plenty of options to suit everyone's tastes.
This skiing gem has some of the best après ski in the Alps. Between Saalbach and Hinterglemm there are over 40 après venues! You are truly spoilt for choice in this beautiful part of Austria. One of the most rememberable venues is the 'goat themed' Goasstall in Hinterglemm. If you are with to dance in your ski boots until dinner time, look no further than Hinterhag Alm next to the Kohlmais piste.
I was fantastically surprised by the après in Mayrhofen, not only was it spectacular fun, it was great value too (especially compared to the large French resorts). Mayrhofen is a huge party town with a wide variety of pubs, bars and clubs making it a perfect choice for large groups. On piste I loved the White Lounge Igloo bar at the Ahorn and the uber cool Grillhof Alm by the Van park on the Penken side. Once back in the village head to the Ice Bar or Bruck 'n'Stadl for the liveliest après, then if you are still wanting to carry on the party after dinner, Mo's, Scotland Yard, Funky's and Harakiri are open till late.
Bruck n Stadl
There was a divide in the Iglu Ski offices over the top spot on this list. We have a handful of ski experts that believe Ischgl deserves the golden crown. With incredible party venues like Trofana Alm, Schatzi Bar and the Kuhstall you are guaranteed a vibrant week of amazing après.
Kuhstall Bar
It's no surprise that St Anton is the undefeated heavyweight champion with its world renowned legendary après bars. With an abundance of piste-side bars, you can't avoid stopping off for a post-ski beverage on your last run home. The Krazy Kangaruh and Mooserwirt are 2 of the most famed après bars in resort, that are packed to the brim with skiers and snowboarders daily and the best spots to get your dose of dancing on tables in your ski boots!
