Vietnam gov't sanctions lowest minimum-wage bump in a decade

The monthly minimum wages for 2017 will increase by 7.3 percent, the lowest level since 2007.
The Vietnamese government has agreed to raise the minimum wage for 2017 by an average of 7.3 percent, the lowest level since 2007, when the decree on minimum wage increases took effect.
The National Wage Council, which advises the government on compensation policies, decided last month to raise the monthly minimum wage for 2017 by 7.3 percent on-year to VND3.75 million ($168) per month. The government has signed off this proposal and will officially approve it this month, Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue said on Wednesday.
Currently, minimum wages range between VND2.4-VND3.5 million ($108-$157) a month, depending on location. The Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the only recognized trade union for Vietnamese workers, maintains that this amount only covers only around 90 percent of a Vietnamese person's basic living costs.
For instance, workers in Region 1 will see their minimum wage increase by 7.1 percent to VND3.75 million per month. Region 1 includes the capital Hanoi, southern commercial hub Ho Chi Minh City, major port city Hai Phong, manufacturing clusters Dong Nai and Binh Duong and oil and gas hub Ba Ria Vung Tau.
The Vietnam General Confederation of Labor had proposed an increase of 10-11 percent to raise minimum wages by VND250,000 - VND400,000 (US$11-$18) per month. But the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry had even called for a raise of only 6.5 percent.
The National Wage Council comprises of the Labor Ministry, the confederation and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The minimum-wage bump was hashed out with the strongest consensus ever reached between representatives of workers and employers, said Pham Minh Huan, Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.
Companies in Vietnam are concerned about rising labor costs which are fuelled by the higher minimum wage and social insurance contributions, Huan said.
According to the International Labor Organization, the monthly minimum wage for unskilled garment workers, for example, ranged from $70 to $128 in outsourcing hubs like Vietnam, Cambodia and Bangladesh in 2014. Notably, due to the low minimum wage, around a half of employees in the garment industry have to work more than 48 hours per week to supplement their earnings with overtime payments.
Vietnam's annual average income was $2,111 last year, according to the World Bank.

A story can bring love and laughter, sorrow and tears. But to save a life...That will require the greatest story of all. When the Prince and the Princess marry, joy rings out across the land. But all too soon it fades away and a shadow hangs over the royal palace. As Christmas approaches, Prince Frederico must find a way to warm his new bride's aching heart.


I hadn't been to San Xavier since they took off the scaffolding. It's gorgeous.
Built by the Tohono O'odham and Padre Kino in 1699, its Moorish elegance and dazzling whiteness are amazing. In the museum you can watch a brief documentary (narrated by Linda Ronstadt) on the history of this unique structure and the people who built and cared for it.
Also, if you are a tourist, this is the perfect place to pick up free San Xavier glasses for candles (pictured above) to recycle as momentos from your trip.
p.s. Don't forget to leave some room in your tummy for fry bread sold in the parking lot.


Flow and Performance: The intercooler tube is constructed of 3" mandrel bent stainless steel tubing for maximum flow then powder-coated for heat and corrosion resistance. The Smooth bends allow for low turbulence, increasing horsepower, torque and lowering EGT's.
Utilizes the factory mounting locations to provide stability for a hassle-free installation. Includes constant tension, Spring loaded, t-bolt clamps for a leak-free seal and heavy-duty 5-PLY couplings for strength. Fits OEM intercooler.
Unique stainless steel laser-cut aFe Power logo plate is welded-on for an aggressive style.
The product is well designedbut need to improve on the instructions. The use of diagrams to insure proper install of pipe.overall great product I also have afe intake. Afe power.


The Wall First Aid Squad became incorporated at a later date, February 13, 1940. The paperwork was done by our good friend, Elvin R. Simmill. He was made an Honorary Member of the squad on March 1, 1940.
The group solicited more members and then started a first aid course given by Charles Brahn and Ned Brown of the Spring Lake Aid Squad.


I know, stop groaning. I'm putting Christmas decorations away, but you should know, I have a tradition. I've been making my first card of the year on the first day of the year. Been doing this for years. So....ta da.....here is my first Christmas card of 2015. I'm sharing on the Sparkles Christmas Challenge. As always, there are prizes.
These are two of my favorites....How about you? Check it out on the Sparkles Christmas Challenge Blog. My digi stamp is from Bugaboo....Isn't this a sweet little bear? I think so. My Christmas die is from Poppystamps. I love this one.
Well, enough from me. I'm off to enjoy the day, which will be relaxing at home with my DH and my puppies and kitty. I love this kind of day.
Until later, Happy New Year! Thank you for following my crafting journey. I look forward to a year filled with seeing all the wonderful things you are creating.
Lovely card Mary with a cute image, wishing you a Happy New Year.
Congrats on getting started on 2015 Christmas cards . . . I'm right there with ya Sistah!
So cute! You know I LOVE that beautiful brown lace on the side.

The Southern Residents and Repeating History
December 7, 2014 David & Brittney Cannamore	1 Comment
Off the waters of Washington state live the most magnificent, beautiful, and intelligent creature on the planet. A species that has learned to exist without wars or visible disputes of any kind. They maintain a peaceful, complex, and intricate social structure with bonds that we cannot even begin to fathom. And it is all in danger, of vanishing forever. For many it's already too late. Like Rhapsody, whose body has gone to science in the hope of finding out what ended her life.
It is all so chilling because it's not the first time that this story's been told. In the serene and beautiful waters of Prince William Sound, hundreds of miles to the north, the same tragedy is playing with a 20-year head start. The genetically unique AT1 Transient pod, that has lived, stalked, and hunted within the sound for generations is just years from extinction as it comes up on three decades without a successful birth. For AT1, the prognosis is simple and obvious. On good Friday, 1989, the whole pod swam, unknowingly through the lethal slick of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. They have not reproduced since as friends and researchers like Eva Saulitis watch the pod disappear one by one, a slow tear jerking countdown to zero.
For the southern Residents, it's more complicated. For decades they've endured live captures, bullets, overfishing, and the toxic runoff of the increasingly urban Puget Sound. In many ways it's miraculous they've persevered for so long. They can still lay claim to, "Granny." An orca that was born the same year the Titantic sank and is still seen every year off the San Juan Islands, a talisman to the resilience of the community. And yet, Orcas are dying that shouldn't be. When Plumper (A37 of the northern Residents) finally vanished from the lab's view in August 2014, there was such a finality to what we were seeing. It was his wake. His time had come, and all of us, including him and his brother Kaikash seemed to know it. But sweet 18-year old Rhapsody shouldn't be washing up in Comox. She should be with her mother, siblings, Grandmother, and Aunts, with one or perhaps two calves to her name. This wasn't her time and it's hard not to feel guilt, knowing that our species shoulders the blame for her demise and dozens just like her, whether from captivity or PCBs.
The southern Residents are at 77 individuals. The time has come for drastic action before the genetic bottleneck tightens anymore. So that in 20 years, we're not watching the last of the pod fade into darkness, leaving the waters of the San Juans and Puget Sound in great silence. How empty and desolate it would feel. Imagine Orcas Island with no Orcas. It's not impossible, the only place in California you can find a brown bear is on the state flag.
It may mean sacrifices on the part of us as human beings. To surrender the pleasure and joy that only comes from watching a line of dorsals materialize off the bow of your boat or kayak. Or perhaps going without Chinook salmon in the freezer this winter. Or maybe as simple as riding the bus to work and reducing the carbon exhaust pumped into the atmosphere.
These aren't tigers or elephants, we can't just start captive breeding programs and reintroduce them. But they do need help, and we have a chance, maybe not to make amends, but to right some of the wrongs that we've brought against them. To even the playing field as best we can for a species that doesn't deserve the cards we have dealt. North American progress, american history as a whole, has been filled with extinctions, manipulations, and destruction. We've hunted the Gray whales, sea otters, wolves, and now the Orca. But today sea otters again bob in the waters off of Monterey Bay, wolves run through the forests of Yellowstone, and North Pacific gray whales represent one of the healthiest and strongest whale populations in the world as they continue their amazing recovery from industrial whaling.
I don't think it's too late for Rhapsody's kin. But it is time to try something different, because whatever help we're giving them clearly isn't working. They need time, space, and most importantly, the salmon that make up more than 90 percent of their diet. Save the whales doesn't have to just revoke memories of Greenpeace and the 70s. The war is not over, and it is our time to fight for the animals we love.

Michele Bollo says:
Tear down the dams. The industry of farmed salmon is disrupting the ecosystem. The SRKW live in more urban areas, and the population is reduced to that of 2005, when they were put on Endangered status. Waiting for autopsy on pregnant Rhapsody.

Q: How to fix onKeyDown(int, KeyEvent) is undefined for the type Fragment error in Android? I am trying to detect if the back button was pressed in one of my Fragments using onKeyDown but I get the error

The method onKeyDown(int, KeyEvent) is undefined for the type Fragment

at the end of the function. Is there a way to use this function in Fragments?
public class FragmentStory4 extends Fragment {
    public FragmentStory4 () {

    }

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_story4, container,
                false);

        return view;
    }

    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {

        }
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }
}

A: Try this and tell me :)
fragment.getView().setOnKeyListener( new OnKeyListener()
{
    @Override
    public boolean onKey( View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event )
    {
        if( keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK )
        {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
} );

A: Try this:
@Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View view =  inflater.inflate(R.layout.left, container, false);
        view.setOnKeyListener( new OnKeyListener() {
              @Override
              public boolean onKey( View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event ) {
                    // here your code
              }
         });
        return view;
    }

A: In my case this is working. when using fragment and declare the onCreateView as below.
 @Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.quote_layout, container, false);

rootView.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onKey(View view, int keycode, KeyEvent keyEvent) {
            if(keycode==keyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK){
                flag=false;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

News International-French
In January, Solvay unveiled its Group purpose: Solvay exists to bond people, ideas and elements to reinvent progress – and its new tagline: "progress beyond" – evoking its pathway towards the future. JEC Composites Magazine wanted to know more about it, and decided to interview Solvay CEO, Ilham Kadri.
JEC Composites Magazine: You have just unveiled the new Group purpose which aims to reinvent progress. How do you think this will translate into your various activities and more particularly in terms of composite materials ?
Ilham Kadri: More specifically our purpose states that we are "bonding" to reinvent progress. Bonding is an idea that has always been at the heart of the Solvay spirit. Our scientists and chemists bond elements into molecules; we blend polymers and materials to serve our customers. This purpose statement is inspired by our past - as our founder Ernest Solvay often referred to scientific progress and is intensely focused on the future, because we need to reinvent progress to deliver new solutions to serve the world and surprise our clients.
We want to create sustainable shared value for all.
Composite materials totally fit in this area. Our composites play a major role in lightweighting - where the shift from metal to polymers and composites improve fuel efficiency in aircrafts and cars - thereby playing a major role in a more sustainable mobility. We also continue to reinvent progress through our Thermoplastic Composites platform and our recent development in new markets.
JEC Composites Magazine: At the end of 2019, you presented the GROW strategy which aims to unleash the full potential of Solvay. Do you have goals in the area of composite materials?
Ilham Kadri: It's actually an acronym - G.R.O.W. The G stands for Growth in our materials business and this segment comprises our high performance specialty polymers, our composites businesses and our two platforms (Thermoplastic Composites and Batteries). Our ambition is clear - accelerate growth and extend our leadership position in Advanced Materials businesses.
JEC Composites Magazine: You have the objective to fulfill the gap between basic research and industrial research. Do you already have concrete examples of this wish in the field of composite or related materials?
Ilham Kadri: In our new strategy plan, we announced we would reallocate funds towards our Growth segment, upping the R&I investment in Materials (which includes our Composites business) from ~35% of total R&I Group spend to >50% in the coming years.
In 2019, we created a common platform with dedicated teams to leverage our expertise and accelerate innovation in thermoplastics composites.
Solvay expanded its aerospace thermoplastic composites capacity in the U.S. to meet strong demand growth from aerospace customers. Additionally, Solvay opened two innovation centers dedicated to thermoplastic composites in the United States and Europe, reinforcing its research and innovation capabilities and engagement with customers. The centers are complementary and will speed up the development of these high-performance materials. Solvay also joined the ThermoPlastic Composites Research Center, the world-leading research, development and innovation center for TPC focused on enabling the use of this technology in large volume applications and on eliminating costs and technological barriers towards its widespread adoption.

The newly-defined purpose sets the future for Solvay: bonding people, ideas and elements to reinvent progress
JEC Composites Magazine: Last year, you collaborated with Stajvelo to develop a composite electric bike. Do you have other projects of this nature?
Ilham Kadri: Many! Stajvelo makes me think of other projects exploring new alleys, such as the Flexible Lightweight Architecture for Volume Applications (FLAVA) consortium. We partnered with? Penso, a British company specialized in composite parts manufacturer, and Mercedes Benz UK and were recently able to demonstrate that composite intensive vehicles like delivery vans could be produced industrially.
Discover the Stajvelo, the first all-polymer e-Bike with long-fiber thermoplastic material:
Solvay worked hand-in-hand with a Monaco-based company to develop a cutting-edge electric bike made entirely of plastic, and to introduce one of its newest high performance polymers in the process. The first prototype was created in 2018, and discussions began with Solvay as the supplier of the high performance polymer that was required to build such a bike.
The material in question is the latest in Solvay's line of long fiber thermoplastic (LFT) compounds. LFT compounds provide a unique combination of stiffness, impact strength and dynamic fatigue performance. LFT can be injection molded, allowing to create a designer bike that can be both produced in Europe and recycled, at the difference of carbon fiber which is non-recyclable.
Stajvelo began the production of its RV01 model in April 2019: 15 bikes are manufactured per week in the company's workshop in Monaco, fully equipped for security (with built-in lights and a geolocation device in case of theft) and maximum comfort – and the next model is in the works. Sales are conducted exclusively online for the time being. So if you fancy being one of the first people to ride around on the world's first all-plastic e-bike, you know what to do!
JEC Composites Magazine: Is the subject of new mobilities a challenge or does it represent a growth potential for Solvay in general, and your composite activity in particular?
Ilham Kadri:?Absolutely. More specifically, we see more sustainable mobility - through lightweighting - as one of the macrotrends driving our G.R.O.W.? strategy. It is an area where we propose solutions and technologies for the automotive and aerospace sectors, allowing the improvement of engine efficiency, downsizing and metal replacement. We're also offering solutions for new mobilities in the sense that we make it simpler for our customers to implement lightweighting technologies in their own products, with materials that are easier to work with, allowing more flexible designs and faster production processes, while still ticking all the boxes in terms of mechanical properties and resistance.?? ?
JEC Composites Magazine: More generally, what is your feeling on the development of the composites market ?
Ilham Kadri: It's an exciting market. The share of composites per aircraft has been growing in the past years, from 10% to 50% and the number of aircraft being built per month is constantly increasing. So far only a small percentage of the world population has flown and people want to travel more and the OEMs are working on next generation composite intensive aircraft designs. Aircraft industry forecasts show that over 35,000 new aircraft will be required by the world's airlines before 2040. That's almost 2,000 aircraft every year.
Other markets are growing too: the offshore deep sea oil and gas market needs to find more cost effective and flexible ways for the exploitation and have found in carbon fiber thermoplastic composites the perfect materials for both corrosion resistance and performance. The automotive market still sees carbon fiber composites as a key lever to reduce the weight of their fleet and as the cost-performance ratio evolves we will see a stronger adoption of composites by that market.
