The Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the executive arm of the Vietnamese state, the members of the Government are elected by the National Assembly of Vietnam. The Vietnamese Council of Ministers was entrusted by the 1980 Constitution with managing and implementing the governmental activities of the state, it is described in that document as "the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the highest executive state body of the highest body of state authority." It is accountable to the National Assembly of Vietnam, more directly, to the Vietnamese Council of State when the National Assembly is not in session. Its duties include submitting draft laws and other bills to the National Assembly and the Council of State, its membership includes a chairman, vice-chairman, cabinet ministers, the heads of state committees, whose terms of office coincide with that of the National Assembly. The Council of Ministers includes its own standing committee, which serves to co-ordinate and mobilise the council's activities.
In 1986 the standing committee was expanded from ten to thirteen members. Each ministry is headed by a minister, assisted by two to twelve deputy ministers; the number and functions of the ministries are not prescribed in the Constitution, but in 1987 there were twenty-three ministries, a number of other specialised commissions and departments. In apparent response to the call by the Sixth National Party Congress in 1986 for a streamlined bureaucracy, several ministries were merged; the former ministries of agriculture and food industry were joined in a newly created Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry. The ministries of power and mines were merged to form the Ministry of Energy, a newly created Ministry of Labour, War Invalids, Social Welfare consolidated the duties of three former ministries; the addition of two new ministerial bodies resulted from the 6th National Party Congress: a Ministry f Information to replace the Vietnam Radio and Television Commission, a mission for Economic Relations with Foreign Countries to act as a co-ordinating body for foreign aid.

In recent years, Atlanta has become one of the USA's best cities for street art. Street artists have prominently created murals in Krog Street Tunnel, along the BeltLine, in neighborhoods across the city; the street art conference, Living Walls, the City Speaks, originated in Atlanta in 2009. Atlanta is host to the street art conference Living the City Speaks. In 2012, the conference limited participation to women street artists; the Outerspace Project, an annual series of street art and cultural events coordinated by Greg Mike, began in 2015. Peter Ferrari founded Forward Warrior, an event and initiative to bring together muralists in Atlanta to add street art to a host neighborhood. Images and mapped locations of over 200 works of Atlanta street art can be found on the Atlanta Street Art Map. Hotspots for viewing Atlanta street art include: The Krog Street Tunnel The 22-mile BeltLine path which circles the inner city along industrial and residential spaces In Cabbagetown, Atlanta along Tennelle St and the Wylie Street wall of the CSX railroad's Hulsey rail yard.
In Inman Park around the intersection of Krog St. and Edgewood Ave. In East Atlanta surrounding the intersections of Flat Shoals Road and Edgewood Ave. In Little Five Points surrounding the intersections of Euclid Ave. and Moreland Ave. In Sweet Auburn along Edgewood Ave. In 2010, ten haiku poems of artist John Morse were featured on 500'bandit' signs posted around the streets of Atlanta, a guerrilla installation that received extensive press coverage including The New Yorker, The Guardian, NPR and South African national radio.

HENSE, several other local Atlanta graffiti artists were sued for $1 million by Atlanta neighborhood property owners. However, shortly after HENSE and several artists countersued stating they had nothing to do with the work that they were being sued for. Despite HENSE's prolific "all-city status" for tags, his 2010 grant proposals for city-funded wall paintings on Arizona Avenue and along the Atlanta BeltLine were all accepted. In May 2011 the City of Atlanta established a Graffiti Task Force. In October 2011 the police arrested 7 persons that they designated as vandals and some regard as artists. However, city officials assert; the city selected 29 murals which would not be painted over including those commissioned as part of the BeltLine and works created during the Living Walls conferences.
But the list did not include the most famous street art space in the Krog Street Tunnel. Many street artists and members of the arts community interviewed by Creative Loafing believe the city's efforts are misdirected or futile. In May 2017, the city of Atlanta began regulating murals on private property, enforcing a 1982 ordinance that artists and property owners must complete an application process to obtain approval from the city or face a $1,000 fine and up to six months confinement. A group of artists, including Fabian Williams, Peter Ferrari, Yoyo Ferro, sued the city, claiming the ordinance was unconstitutional. In June 2017, the city settled the lawsuit, agreeing not to require artists to obtain city approval for murals on private property. In January 2019, businesses around the City of Atlanta began efforts of removing local art and murals from their locations.

Dufferin Street is a major north–south street in Toronto and King, Canada. It is a concession road, two concessions west of Yonge Street; the street starts at the foot of Lake Ontario, continues north to Toronto's northern boundary at Steeles Avenue with some discontinuities and continues into Vaughan, where it becomes York Regional Road 53. The street is named for Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, who served as Governor General of Canada from 1872 to 1878. In 2003 and 2007, it was voted as one of "Ontario's Worst 20 Roads" in the Ontario's Worst Roads poll organized by the Canadian Automobile Association; the southern end of Dufferin is the Dufferin Gates within the Exhibition Place, which holds the annual Canadian National Exhibition. The two Dufferin Street bridges connect the Exhibition Place with the rest of Dufferin Street to the north; the 1911 bridge span across the railway north of the CNE grounds was determined to be unsafe for vehicular traffic in 2013, was closed to vehicles.
The bridge was scheduled for replacement starting in 2016. The City of Toronto plans to build a temporary bridge to restore vehicular traffic in advance of the replacement construction. North of the CNE grounds, the east side of Dufferin Street is dominated by industrial or transitional industrial to residential and commercial buildings of Liberty Village, with several old factories being converted to loft-style condominiums; the west side is single-family homes with one apartment building south of King Street. The neighbourhood to the west is named Parkdale, developed before 1900. North of Queen Street West, Dufferin is residential on both sides, with the large Dufferin Mall on the west side of Dufferin, south of Bloor Street; this was the former site of the Dufferin Park Racetrack. Across the street from the mall is the Dufferin Grove city park. From Queen Street north to College Street, the neighbourhood is known as Little Portugal. North of College, west of Dufferin is the former village of Brockton and on the east is the Dufferin Grove neighbourhood, named after the park on the east side of Dufferin.
Dufferin station is located at Dufferin and Bloor Street on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth of the Toronto subway system. From Bloor Street to Davenport Road, Dufferin is lined with homes built from the 1920s to post-World War II; the Galleria Shopping Centre is located on the west side of Dufferin and on the south side of Dupont Street. The neighbourhood west of Dufferin in this area is known as Wallace Emerson, while on the east it is known as Dovercourt Park. North of Davenport, Dufferin ascends the former Lake Iroquois shoreline escarpment. North of the escarpment, the street continues to be residential on both sides north to Eglinton Avenue West. Between Rogers Road and Eglinton Avenue West, Dufferin crosses two steep ravines. North of Eglinton Avenue, it becomes a six-lane arterial road through industrial and low-density commercial lands of the former North York; the regional shopping centre of Yorkdale Shopping Centre is located at Dufferin and Highway 401. The sections from Eglinton into York Region was Vaughan Road.
North of Wilson Avenue, Dufferin is interrupted by Downsview Airport and Allen Road, the latter of which feeds Dufferin north of Kennard Avenue, north of Sheppard Avenue. A broken section of Dufferin Street runs parallel with Allen Road, one block east, south of the continuation from Allen Rd. from Sheppard Ave. to Kennard Ave. This section ends in a cul-de-sac just south of Kennard. North of Wilson, Dufferin Street runs 210 metres to Katherine Street and continues on as Beffort Road/Hanover Road. Dufferin Street continues north of Steeles Avenue into the city of Vaughan; the section north to Highway 7 and Langstaff Road is a six-lane arterial road, designated as York Regional Road 53. North of that, it narrows to four lanes narrows again two blocks north of Major Mackenzie Drive to two lanes. North of Lloydtown/Aurora Road / 18th Sideroad, it is maintained by King Township and terminates just north of Graham Sideroad in the Holland Marsh, after jogging at Davis Drive, the former Highway 9; the intersection of Dufferin Street and Queen Street West intersects with the main railway line from northwest of Toronto to downtown at Union Station.
This intersection was the site of the Parkdale Train Station, a level crossing. In the 1890s, an underpass was built for Queen Street to accommodate growing east–west traffic. At the time, the area north of the railway line was industrial and factories backed onto the tracks. North–south traffic was not expected nor planned for and the two sections of Dufferin were not connected; as automobiles arrived in Toronto around 1903, for the next 107 years, vehicles looking to travel along Dufferin detoured around the closed section to Peel and Gladstone, which became de facto sections of Dufferin. The detour was known locally as the "Dufferin Jog"; the jog was eliminated in 2010 with the construction of a four-lane underpass beneath the railroad track, including public art and an amphitheatre-styled park with tiered gardens at the southwest corner of the underpass. This project was approved by city council in 2007, work on extending the roadway began in July 2009; the underpass was opened on November 18, 2010.
A further widening of the north side of the bridge was completed in 2016–2017 to support expanded GO Transit train service. The section of the east side of the bridge along Queen Street was built in 1897 as the Queen Street Subway. Dufferin
