Once filled with treasure-adorned minarets, grand libraries and mosques, and a towering fortress overlooking a vast empire, the ancient city of Ghazni was in the past a great center of Islamic power and culture.    But looking at it today, you would never guess that this city in central-east Afghanistan once anchored an empire that reached far and wide -- to modern-day northern India in the east, and spanning Iran to the west.   Ghazni, which means ...

Strong Grassroots Support for Rebuilding Education in Conflict Countries
Jun 12th 2012, 21:46

Conflict is keeping nearly 28 million children around the world out of school. It's also led to poor quality schooling in camps for refugees and the internally displaced. UNESCO says as a result, generations of young people don't have the skills to lift themselves, and their countries, out of poverty. In recent years, there have been signs of progress, but development experts say more needs to be done.

In one village, voters worried about their future are divided over which of the two presidential candidates could help them move forward.   Life in rural Egypt under the previous government was hard.

Their gravitational pull is so intense that not even light can escape from them. As gas, dust and stars are sucked in, the material accelerates and heats up, generating powerful X-ray light emissions.   To further study ...
