Thông tin từ một số học sinh Trường THPT Phan Huy Chú (Đống Đa, Hà Nội) cho biết nhà trường có quy định, học sinh không được nhuộm tóc. Tuy nhiên vẫn có một số em đã nhuộm nhưng không đen được như ban đầu.

The historic downtown already presents a striking contrast to its former self. Its colonial-era cathedral, post office and opera house now sit near glittering malls, apartments and office towers. A handful of 35-plus-story skyscrapers have appeared since 2010, and an 81-story building is being constructed by the private conglomerate Vingroup.

At the beginning of 2014, China became the largest investor in Laos with $5.1 billion of accumulated investments. This amounted to about 40% of total foreign investments and saw China overtake Thailand and Vietnam. Chinese companies dominate the mining, transportation, plantation and hydroelectric sectors. Lao exports to China increased by 300% between 2005 and 2013, largely as a result of shipments of agricultural products grown by Chinese companies.

Bangkok Post quoted the spokesman of Thai RID (Royal Irrigation Department) as saying that the agency has taken the first move of the project – running 3 pump stations with capacity of 12,000 liters per second each – to bring water from the Mekong to Huay Laung in Nong Khai province to ease the drought there.

Kids today are often accused of being narcissistic, but they may be learning their exhibitionist ways from their parents. Accompanying the boom in selfie culture is a rise in competitive spirit, as well as a disturbing trend of sexualization. Likes, hearts, swipes—¬validation is only a tap away. And one of the easiest ways to get that validation is by looking hot. Sex sells, whether you’re 13 or 35.

Female genital cutting has always been seen as an ancient ritual practiced in Africa and to a lesser extent in the Middle East, but a new global assessment documents for the first time that it is widespread in one of the most populous countries in Asia: Indonesia, where almost half the women are estimated to have undergone it.

For decades, India has relied on female sterilization as its primary mode ofcontraception, funding about four million tubal ligations every year, more than any other country. This year, the government of Prime MinisterNarendra Modi will take a major step toward modernizing that system, introducing injectable contraceptives free of charge in government facilities. The World Health Organization recommends their use without restriction for women of childbearing age.

Assortative mating is the idea that people marry people like themselves, with similar education and earnings potential and the values and lifestyle that come with them. It was common in the early 20th century, dipped in the middle of the century and has sharply risen in recent years — a pattern that roughly mirrors income inequality in the United States, according to research by Robert Mare, a sociologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. People are now more likely to marry people with similar educational attainment — even after controlling for differences between men and women, like the fact that women were once less likely to attend college.

In countries around the world, the ways in which men and women spend their time are unbalanced. Men spend more time working for money. Women do the bulk of the unpaid work — cooking, cleaning and child care.
