Living On Mars
Mars is the next great adventure. It is the fourth planet from the sun. Due to the finely-grained iron oxide dust covering the planet giving it a reddish color, it has earned the nickname “The Red Planet”. It is one of the most explored planets in our solar system with NASA making plans to use it to replace Earth one day. It has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Its thin atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide, argon, nitrogen, oxygen, and very small amounts of water vapor. A year on Mars is 687 Earth days, while each day is 24.6 hours. Here is what we need to do in order to colonize Mars.

A new kind of 3D-printed carrot, in the words of its Qatar-based inventors. Content Warning.
Qatari students aim to make ‘food accessible to people all over the world’ with their newly invented 3D printer. Innovation in the heart of Qatar has birthed a groundbreaking solution to the widespread issue of food insecurity. Two visionary students, Mohammad Annan, aged 20, and Lujain Al Mansoori, aged 21, both pursuing information systems at Doha's Carnegie Mellon University, have achieved an extraordinary feat - the creation of a 3D printer capable of mass-producing vegetables, offering a potential remedy to the global food crisis.

Hyperborea
Denial - Norway When Karl steps off the plane, the thin layer of frost under his feet cracks. The weather is eerily merciful, the midnight sun is right above the horizon, but honestly, he has no idea if it’s rising or setting. The smell of pastries, smoked salmon and caramelized onions from the skyport cafes mixes with the metallic rotten cabbage smell of hydrogen and ozone from refilling and sterilizing. His 16 years old daughter stands behind him, fiddling with the copper extensions of her braids as she impatiently waits in line to exit the Boreali hydrojet.

How Russian Have Replaced Western Brands
The withdrawal of Western brands from Russia in the aftermath of the country's invasion of Ukraine has left an indelible mark on Russian shopping streets. This seismic shift has given rise to a fascinating phenomenon: the emergence of copycat brands. As we explore the intricate details of this transformation, we aim to unravel the identity of these imitating brands and gauge how they compare to their Western counterparts. Amid these developments, one pivotal question looms large: can Russians still access the Western goods they desire, and how can these Western brands respond to the evolving Russian consumer landscape?
