  • Underprivileged desert communities are getting affordable sustainable housing from startup Hand Over, according to Forbes. The company was founded by 30-year-old engineer Radwa Rostom.
  • Laura Plummer has apparently had her presidential pardon withdrawn and faces another six months before appeal, according to The Sun.
