    What's the best way to raise people out of poverty?

    Explore different poverty intervention and aid programs, and how direct cash giving can address a community's needs.--In 2018, a nonprofit gave every adult in the Ahenyo village $500. Most families had lived in extreme poverty for generations, and this sum was roughly equivalent to their annual salaries. The money came with no strings attached to how it could be spent. Would this lift villagers out of poverty or be another failed philanthropic endeavor?

    Why do sinkholes consume entire houses and cities? - Elise Cutts

    Explore the science of sinkholes, how they commonly form, and what human activities can also trigger them.--It was a rainy December morning in San Francisco when the Earth opened up. The ground suddenly fell away into a 12-meter-deep sinkhole that engulfed a garage, part of a street, and a multi-million-dollar mansion. Sinkholes can seem to strike out of nowhere, but they’re more common than people often think. So, how do they form?
