It is self evident that education is the key that unlocked the inner mind towards creativity. There are geniuses no doubt, but remember that a sage has defined genius as 99 per cent perspiration and one per cent inspiration. the developed world has long recognised the symbiotic relationship between the 'Gown' and 'Town', that's why a sizable portion of their GDP goes into research.
The bottom line is that if integration of entrepreneurship into our educational curriculum is properly planned and executed as a genuine collaboration between the Institutions and the Industries, the idea will not only help solve our unemployment problems, but equally assist in laying a solid foundation for the nation's industrial breakthrough.
Entrepreneurship study in Institution is…

In 2011, UNICEF commissioned research to investigate the role of education in peacebuilding in post-conflict contexts. The resulting report, entitled “The Role of Education in Peacebuilding: A synthesis report of findings from Lebanon, Nepal and Sierra Leone,” is part of a knowledge generation study within the Back on Track programme on Education in Emergencies and Post-Crisis Transition.
The study examines how integrated education interventions could have a stronger role in post-conflict peacebuilding within the United Nations system. It includes a programme literature and research review on the role of education in peacebuilding, as well as three country case studies on UNICEF’s education work in Lebanon, Nepal and Sierra Leone.

With 43 per cent of its people under 18 years old, Haiti has one of the youngest populations in the world. Yet the country’s young people continue to suffer from a lack of opportunities and remain vulnerable in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. To highlight the challenges faced by youth, UNICEF and partners PANOS Caribbean and Fondation haitienne d’Aide aux Vulnérables are providing media training to vulnerable children.

No matter how rich a person is, one came into this world bringing nothing and nothing can one bring out of the world. I think that the Multi/ Billionaires should chip in their money to overcome poverty and hunger in their own countries. No doubt there are poor countries, but there is a fair number of the rich in every country. These rich individuals have collected so much wealth, and have assets that regenerates back millions in a month, so why not take 40 percent of their profits to provide facilities to help overcome poverty in their own country. If most of the tycoons could help make their country a better place, the world would have lesser problems. Besides helping…

We’re unbelievably lucky to live in this era with this thing called the Internet.
It’s among the greatest inventions of human history, the way it connects people, through common interests and common goals, linking those needing resources with those who can provide them. Its accessibility and its prevalence make the Internet an amazing and unprecedented invention and generates so much possibility—the way it allows expression, inspires art, and provides an unlimited supply of knowledge upon people’s fingertips. It makes nearly anything possible for those bold enough to dream and practical enough to act.
Though millions in undeveloped countries—and still millions more in developing countries—lack access to this tool, the Internet, if anything, possesses the power to emerge as an equalizer…

No matter how rich you are, you came into the world with nothing and nothing is what you can bring out from the world. Poverty and hunger is still a huge problem, Why don't the Multi Million/Billionaires chip in some of their money so that poverty and hunger can be lessen instead of keeping all that wealth with themselves? Not all their wealth is needed but it would definately make a good difference in people in coutries that need security in their basic needs like food and shelter.

Hello fellows. Well at star - Ozone molecule = three oxygen atoms, and its chemical symbol is O3. Their life time exceeding 20 minutes. Ozone freezes (-112oC), but begins to boil (+93 ° C).
So I have heard that if we do some friendly actions we can hope that it's fully restored on 2050-2060. Okay ... we can wait ... or .... I have an idea whitch hasn't been spoken out. It's 21st century. Chemistry, history and physics are doing great steps forward. And maybe this thought can be useful and disscusable.
World specialists could team up all these three areas (Chemistry,history,physics) and make a termo object where inside could be filled this O3. Chemistry can help with keeping molecules…
