Vinh said that besides efforts to improve the business climate, it was important to create space for technology research and development, complete legal frameworks for new industries and enhance the enforcement of regulations related to intellectual property to encourage innovation.
Đinh Quang Trung, Deputy Director of the Ministry of Information and Communications’ Science and Technology Department, said that focus would be placed on the development of strategic IT products together with enhancing security.
Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc in July asked the Ministry of Planning and Investment to implement three focuses for Industry 4.0.
These included the development of a national Industry 4.0 strategy expected to be reported to the Government at the end of this year, the development of the project for the foundation of a national innovation centre expected to start construction at the end of this year and building human resources for the Industry 4.0 strategy.

Recent events have amply confirmed worries about the threat to Christians in North Africa and the Middle East following the regime changes in recent times.
"Who will save my beloved Syria?" This was the impassioned plea by the Jesuit Bishop Antoine Audo, president of Caritas Syria, published in the Caritas blog on June 21. He lamented the situation of ongoing violence, economic crisis and instability.
A short time later came news of the killing of Father Franҫois Mourad, a Syrian hermit, who was a guest at the Franciscan monastery of St Anthony of Padua in Al-Ghassaniyah, Syria. According to a June 24 report by Asia News it is uncertain whether he was killed by a stray bullet or if it was a deliberate killing by Islamic fighters who had attacked the monastery.
His death followed a vigil held last Saturday for the two archbishops kidnapped in Syria in April, whose fate is still unknown. The Patriarch of Antioch, John Yazigi, led around 300 people in the vigil near the Lebanese city of Tripoli to call for the release of Greek Orthodox Archbishop Paul Yazigi, and Syrian Orthodox Archbishop Yohanna Ibrahim, according to a report by Reuters on June 22.
This is taking place while NATO countries are moving to supplying the insurgent forces in Syria with arms. At the same time, according to a June 22 A1 report by the New York Times, there is strong evidence that arms from Libya are being sent to rebels in Syria.
"The flow is an important source of weapons for the uprising and a case of bloody turnabout, as the inheritors of one strongman's arsenal use them in the fight against another," the article noted.
Meanwhile, Christians are caught in the midst of this conflict and their fate does not seem to be of concern to those who are supplying arms.
The situation in Egypt is also proving difficult for Christians. In recent months the New York Times has published several articles referring to attacks on Christians.
"The leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church accused President Mohamed Morsi's government on Tuesday of 'delinquency' and 'misjudgments' for failing to prevent sectarian street-fighting that escalated into an attack on the church's main cathedral after a funeral mass over the weekend, leaving at least six Christians dead," was the opening paragraph of an April 9 report by the New York Times.
Amnesty International has also entered the debate, with a June 11 statement criticizing the increase in blasphemy cases.
The press release referred to a couple of recent court decisions, where Coptic Christians were convicted of blasphemy. It also said that there have been "numerous recent reports of others accused and convicted of blasphemy in Egypt."
"Bloggers and media professionals whose ideas are 'deemed offensive' as well as Coptic Christians – particularly in Upper Egypt – make up the majority of those targeted," according to Amnesty International.
Human Rights Watch, another prominent rights organization, had previously expressed concern over the Arab Spring in its World Report 2013, published in February.
In his introduction to the report Kenneth Roth, the organization's executive director, commented: "Two years into the Arab Spring, euphoria seems a thing of the past."
There are fears that the biggest winners of the uprising, the Islamists, will limit human rights, he added.
He also said there are doubts about the role of Sharia law in Egypt and what this will mean for human rights, including religious freedom.
Regarding Libya, Roth observed that there is a weak government, incapable of ensuring that human rights are respected. In part this is due to local factors but he also blamed the NATO powers for having simply declared victory and then left, instead of helping to build institutions after the overthrow of Gaddafi.
Another report, this one by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, has concluded that restrictions on religion have continued to increase. The June 20 report "Arab Spring Adds to Global Restrictions on Religion" noted that the already high levels of control regarding religious freedom have augmented.
As well as restrictions imposed by governments the level of social hostility has increased, the Pew Forum commented.
The Middle East is certainly not the only region where religious liberty is under threat, the report noted. In fact, in the period 2007-2011 the number of countries with high levels of restrictions rose from 10 to 20.
Christians continued to be the group with the highest number of reports of harassment or intimidation, in 105 countries. Nevertheless, North Africa and the Middle East stood out as the area with the highest levels of both government restrictions and social hostility.
Overthrowing nasty dictators and authoritarian regimes seems an attractive path to take and is also popular with public opinion. The consequences of such actions are, as we are seeing now, not always so attractive.
WARNING: Tweets featured in this piece contain strong language.
During his first speech before a crowd of employees, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Dr. Ben Carson, made an indelicate reference, calling African salves "immigrants."
"That’s what America is about--a land of dreams and opportunity. There were immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder, for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."
In 1987, Dr. Carson made medical history with an operation to separate a pair of Siamese twins. The Binder twins were born joined at the back of the head. Operations to separate twins joined in this way had always failed, resulting in the death of one or both of the infants. Carson agreed to undertake the operation. A 70-member surgical team, led by Dr. Carson, worked for 22 hours. At the end, the twins were successfully separated and can now survive independently.
...other surgical innovations have included the first intra-uterine procedure to relieve pressure on the brain of a hydrocephalic fetal twin, and a hemispherectomy, in which an infant suffering from uncontrollable seizures has half of its brain removed. This stops the seizures, and the remaining half of the brain actually compensates for the missing hemisphere."
Despite his incredible education, and razor sharp intellect, Dr. Carson isn't the most eloquent man. Referring to slaves as "immigrants" isn't his first verbal blunder, and it likely won't be his last. However, one must read Carson's comments in context, and in this case, listen to them in order to examine the way in which they were delivered.
"Every one of the children born in our nation is a treasure, and it's someone for us to develop. And if we develop their potential, they become part of the engine and not part of the load. And every human being--regardless of their ethnicities, their background--they have a brain. The human brain. There is nothing in this universe that even begins to compare with the human brain, and what it is capable of. Billions and billions of neurons; hundreds of billions of interconnections. It remembers everything you've ever seen, everything you've ever heard.
So we need to concentrate a little less on what we can't do, and a little more on what we can do. After all, this is America. This used to be known as the 'can-do' society. Not the 'what can you do for me' society--but the 'can do' society. And there is a lot that we can do if we are simply willing to reach outside of ourselves and recognize that each person, all of our fellow man, all of our fellow Americans, we are one. It's called the United States of America. Think about that the next time you want to be mean to somebody--because there's no reason to do it.
And go to Ellis Island one of these days if you haven't been there. Go to the museum on Ellis Island, and look at the pictures of all those people who are hanging up there; from every part of the world, many of them carrying all their earthly belongings in their two hands, not knowing what this country held for them. Look at the determination in their eyes. People who work not five days a week, but six or seven days a week; not eight hours a day, but 10, 12, 16 hours a day. No such thing as a minimum wage. They work not for themselves, but for their sons and their daughters, and their grandsons and their granddaughters--that they might have an opportunity in this land. That's what America is about: a land of dreams and opportunity.
There were immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder, for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.
And do you know, of all the nations in this world, this one, the United States of America, is the only one big enough and great enough to allow all of those people to realize their dream. And this is our opportunity to enhance that dream."
Taken in context, what Ben Carson said may have been inelegant, but it wasn't untrue. Slaves were indeed sold into captivity, and transported to the United States. They weren't traditional immigrants--and it's doubtful Carson thinks that--but they were, in the most technical sense, immigrants.
In all likelihood, slaves did hope for the future of their children, and their children's children. Eventually, those dreams were realized and ratified in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. They were fought for during Jim Crow, and advanced during the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Those dreams continue to progress and evolve even today.
The point Carson was making was that every human being, regardless of their race, creed, religion, national origin, or genetic makeup, has the right to life, and the opportunity to live a life of importance.
Samuel L. Jackson can call Ben Carson an "Uncle Tom" all he wants, and others can slam the doctor for his remarks regarding African slaves, but his point shouldn't be lost in the fog of an inarticulate moment, for it is an important one.
We are a nation that values human life at all stages, and in all forms, and we understand that in the United States, everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their goals. To excoriate Carson--not for his message, but for his inelegant word choices--is to engage in the most shallow form of thinking.

This is what I have been up to lately!!
It is going to take a while to finish so I have been committing to doing a little bit each day, while my baby is napping. Stenciling is a lot more work than I had expected but I love the final look! It is going to be so cute when it is all done!
You can find the stencil to print HERE.
Hello, I was thinking of using this stencil for my daughter’s room and I was wondering how you made the stencil after you printed it.
tlkinder02 I bought stencil material (looks like paper but is really thick)found it at JoAnn’s craft store. It is see through, so I layed it on top of the printout(on a cutting board) and used an exacto knife to cut out the the stencil. You will need to leave 2 sections attached around the loop so you still have the center piece there. Once you are done stenciling on the wall you can just go back with a tiny paint brush and fill in those little spots.
We love the pictures of the room. We are about to do the same stencil for our girls’ bedroom. When we printed out the stencil, it looked pretty thin. Did you print it on different sized paper (Other than 8 1/2 x 11″) or do you suggest modifying it at all?

Cars 140-142 were originally part of a large order of cars built by the St. Louis Car Co. for the Third Avenue Ry. of New York. These cars were resold in small lots to other companies all over the country. According to Buckley, these three, originally numbered 200-202, came to the ITS in June 1902, and were assigned to Danville city service before 1914; they were retired before 1920. This picture shows car 140 with its original door configuration and very worn paint. It has couplers, probably to provide for it to tow or be towed when necessary.

But the Lone Star Quilt is not for the faint of heart - you must be able to piece accurately.
This is a 6 hour class for intermediate students.
It requires accurate strip piecing, and setting in of the triangles and corner squares.
Once your strips are sewn, you will audition them to choose which of your fabrics will be in the centre.
There will be time to get several if not all of the star points finished, and setting in of the triangles and squares will be done at home.

Burbank's Isaac Cantu, Marcus Bolden and Tristin Zamora, along with Memorial's Anthony Esparza and Xavier Banks, discuss last week's wins to start District 28-5A play.
Football is therapeutic for many of the players at Memorial, including its senior quarterback.
Anthony Esparza said both of his parents have battled drug addiction, leading him to battle depression and forcing him to fend for himself at times. He works in the kitchen at a local pizza chain on Saturdays and Sundays, the only two days of the week he does not spend at school and with the Minutemen.
Esparza described time with his teammates as a “getaway,” moments he can be distracted from his home life and have fun. But football had been hard to enjoy for Memorial, which took a 21-game losing streak into Friday’s District 28-5A opener against Jefferson.
The Minutemen stopped that skid with a 23-17, triple-overtime win at Edgewood Veterans Stadium. It was their first win since Esparza’s first varsity game as a sophomore in 2015 and also ended a 30-game losing streak in district play that began in 2013.
The players at Burbank, a San Antonio ISD school about eight miles away from Memorial, can relate. The Bulldogs’ only win during the past two seasons came against the Minutemen, and they also started this season with two losses.
Just like Memorial, Burbank broke through with a district-opening win no one saw coming except for the players and coaches on its sideline. Even some of them were surprised by the 35-32 win against Highlands, last year’s district co-champion and the only 28-5A team to start this year with two wins.
It could be a wild race in 28-5A, since the two teams that finished at the bottom of the district standings last year are tied for first place after the first round of league games. At the very least, Friday’s triumphs provided hope at schools where hope can be hard to come by.
Giving up is an ever-present threat at Burbank, where head coach Mark Perez said only about half of the players who enter the program as freshmen stick with the Bulldogs through their senior year. Some stop playing because they have to work to help support their families. Some do not want to work during practice and the offseason.
Cantu quit the team for the final two games of last season, even though he was a team captain. He said he is glad to be back with the Bulldogs, who were upbeat and focused at Monday’s practice.
Memorial coach Kemmie Lewis said learning how to win has been one of the chief challenges for his players, who were not sure how to react after beating Jefferson. He said the campus and community long have been resigned to losing.
Like Esparza, many of the Minutemen cope with off-the-field issues. Lewis says he has “kids that are semi-homeless, kids that barely have a meal besides meals at school, kids that are fathers.” So the coach has gradually tried to build up his players by aiming for small daily victories such as making it to school on time or lining up correctly at practice.
Now that the Minutemen have experienced a larger win, a Friday night game with playoff implications, they yearn for more. Because while football is an escape, winning makes it even more worthwhile.
