The image, which was shared by Royal Brunei's Instagram account last month, shows the airline's first all-female flight crew sitting in the cabin of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The picture emerging from this research is one of women who were not just committed nationalists willing to die for Ireland, but also longtime campaigners for social justice who had been fighting inequality on many fronts: land reform, labor battles and women’s suffrage. These women wanted a fairer society in which they would have an equal say. In 1916, they had reason to believe that the republic they chose to fight for was the surest means to that end.

Every generation thinks things have gotten more complicated since they were young (it’s one of those universally accepted parental truths, like the fact that kids don’t go outside and play anymore). But the interesting question at the heart of “Girls and Sex” is not really whether things are better or worse for girls. It’s why — at a time when women graduate from college at higher rates than men and are closing the wage gap — ¬aren’t young women more satisfied with their most intimate relationships? “When so much has changed for girls in the public realm,” Orenstein writes, “why hasn’t more . . . changed in the private one?”

Morrissey also shows how Social Security has become more important to the average worker over time, giving strength to the argument that this all-important program should be expanded and its funding spread over a larger proportion of the population. Under the existing payroll tax system, which covers only earned income up to an inflation-adjusted $118,500 (this year), higher-income wage-earners and those who collect income mostly from capital gains, dividends and other unearned income pay a lower rate.

“I wanted to bring professionalism to the mayor’s office,” said Mr. Ponto, 68, who also holds a master’s degree in public administration.
In this election year, the two presidential front-runners are both already well past the traditional retirement age. But the interest in running for office among baby boomers may be even more compelling at lower levels, with more people like Mr. Ponto bringing substantial résumés to a second career in politics.

Một số người ủng hộ giáo dục vì lợi nhuận, nhưng một số người lại phản đối vì họ cho rằng "giáo dục không phải là nơi kiếm lời". Đây không phải là một vấn đề mới ở các nước đã phát triển, nhưng ở Việt Nam thì nó mới mẻ hơn, và cũng có những đặc thù khác xa các nước đã phát triển.

Liên tiếp những lùm xùm trong cung cách quản lý của nhiều trường ĐH thời gian vừa qua, khiến không ít ý kiến lo ngại tới đây sẽ là giai đoạn khủng hoảng của giáo dục Đại học.

Vì sao các trường đều tự nhận là trường phi lợi nhuận trong khi phần lớn đều hoạt động vì lợi nhuận?
Trường Đại học Hoa Sen là một trong những đại học dương cao ngọn cờ “không vì lợi nhuận” hay “phi lợi nhuận”.

Trong Quy hoạch mạng lưới các trường đại học và cao đẳng giai đoạn 2006-2020 ban hành năm 2007 (Quyết định 121/2007/QĐ-TTg), chúng ta đặt mục tiêu đến năm 2020, sẽ có khoảng 30-40% sinh viên đại học học tại khu vực tư thục.
