At the gate of autumn, as days are getting longer, we tend to spend more time at home. We would like to present to you a suspiciously great online library that we found two years ago. By suspiciously we mean that it’s a website which, in return for signing up (FOR FREE), opens the doors of an online library with an ocean of books.
We know what we celebrate on 20th August in Hungary. It’s much less common knowledge for us that this day is a significant day in the Moroccan history, too. And if you work for NASA you know that the launch of the Voyager 2 spacecraft also took place on this day almost half a century ago...

Ki ül veled szemben? Valószínűleg keveset tudsz róla, hiszen az órákon inkább Te beszélsz, kedves olvasó. Az elkövetkező hetekben egy-egy kollégánkat mutatjuk be.

Let’s talk about the weather

The summer of 2021 was one never-ending scorching heat wave. At least, that’s how I remember it. The wardrobe boxes labelled „spring” remained unopened this year.
