Colour Red

  Why red coulour is so special? First of all, when we look at different colours our brain reacts in a certain way. When we see red, each and every one of us associates it with different things, but there are few that are pretty common for everyone. For example: love, power, anger, desire or Santa. The last one is masterminded by Coca Cola. The ilustrator Huddon Sundblom had created it in 1931 and later as the company was growing up, the image of big old papa in red outfit preserved in our memory for good. 
  I think many companies are trying to build their images in a way that could manipulate us, just like coca cola did it. They exactly now that our heartbeat raises up and in consequences the blood pressure. That body state is very similar to excitement which is present while we fall in love or are simply very happy. 
 Finally, I'll be bold to say red colour is impactful or even impressive, it can persuade us to watch netflix, to buy food in target, maybe some cola? Red lipstick might be a key to higher tips in work. Would a green colour or any other one do that? I don't thik so!

Alaska's permafrost is thawing

 Climate change is a serious issue that each year becomes even bigger. It mostly affects Arctic region where not only the outer parts of the ground such as glaciers are melting but most important, the always-frozen underground called permafrost. This is a problem mainly because of the vast amounts of carbon which converted by microbes can flow into the atmosphere and cause even more warming. Furthermore, scientist Max Holmes said: ''thawing has consequences locally as well as globally'' which makes it more dangerous than we might think.   

 I must admit, I was surprised by the fact that carbon from the lower parts of the ground can spread into the atmosphere and warm our planet up to 1.7 Fahrenheit degrees in the span of a few centuries. In addition, I already feel sorry for the Alaska's inhabitants who will probably have to leave their homes sooner or later.

The ultimate mission - in search of the last world.
They've been travelling in space for fifty six years now. It was time to wake up from hibernation and finally explore the Planet Lh-47. The ship flew through the atmosphere, monumental wind storms and cyclons. The land was closer and closer. After fourty two minutes the crew members were already taking measuremens of the ground and air. This planet seemed to be perfect. 

Suddenly, they heard a voice saying ''training complete, open your eyes and get back to your lodgings''. The Planet disappeared, the ship was gone, they only saw a blinding lights and a man. He looked at them with a big smile on his face and said ''Great job everyone, this was your last training, your last world.''
