The result is the Mightylight, a waterproof, shockproof, LED lamp that can be used as a flashlight, reading lamp or ceiling fixture. Solar powered, capable of holding an eight-hour charge and designed to last 100,000 hours, the Mightylight is safer and more cost effective than kerosene lamps. Last November the pair began selling Mightylights for $45 each. The LED technology is so advanced, says Chugh, that "anyone in New York or Delhi would love one of these." Chugh...

Nor is every teenager spoiled or lazy; nearly a third of 16-year-olds have jobs while in school, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nearly a third of them volunteer, about one hour a week.

...that anger was directed squarely at Ban and the Foreign Ministry. Taxis in Seoul refused to pick up foreign service officers, and there were public calls for Ban's resignation. But instead of panicking, Ban calmly announced that he would be reassessing the ministry, eventually adding a 24-hour telephone hotline that South Koreans abroad could call if they needed help. The rage dissipated, Ban has gone on to become one of South Korea's most respected foreign ministers - and Korean soldiers still made it to Iraq, much to the satisfaction of their U.S. allies...
