Nas Daily, real name Nuseir Yassin, recounted the 1,000 year old history of the humanitarian order to explain how they use the passport to aid people all over the world instead of going on vacations.

112 countries accept the passport, and is officially stronger than the Indian, Chinese and Thai passports. With only 500 holders, they use it to travel to crisis zones to provide humanitarian aid.

The Hospitaller order’s relationship to Malta is of course well known by the inhabitants of the island, having formed a very big part of the historical timeline.

And thanks to Nas, this history is being taught to millions of people following his content – and will hopefully inspire some tourists to make their way to the Mediterranean islands!

Hudson Store, Campus Hub: The Destination for Sustainable and Fashion-Forward Shopping

Apr 20 2023

In a bid to level up their sustainability game and leave a positive mark on the environment, Hudson Group’s newly opened Hudson Store in Campus Hub has been set up with sleek, aesthetic recyclable material.

That’s right, almost everything inside the store is made from recyclable material; that includes hangers, mannequins, interior fittings, tote bags and so much more. The material, ResisTek, is based on 100% recyclable plastic resins which is known for being very resistant and light.

Essentially, ResisTek is circular material that stands out for being super resistant and light, free of toxic substances and noted as being ‘unbreakable’, so you know they are in it for the long run.

Thanks to their environmentally-sound decision, the store’s mannequins are not only dressed in the finest threads Hudson Store has to offer, but are made from an infinitely recyclable material which is conscious of terrestrial and underwater ecosystems.

The fashion industry’s turbulent relationship with the Earth only makes decisions like these so much more important – so kudos to Hudson Group for investing in such a setup and here’s hoping other companies will follow in their footsteps!

In addition to the incomparable sustainability milestones Hudson Store has reached, one will also find a wide range of fashion and apparel choices under one roof. From grails like Tommy Jeans, Armani Exchange & Calvin Klein to timeless classics like Nike, New Look, Champion, Crocs, Vans, Converse and even sports apparel brands Under Armour and Sveltus.

Do you think more stores should adopt this approach?

What if Malta had ice and snow? AI artist reimagines

Apr 20 2023

In the latest alternative universe created by artist @malta_ai, the Maltese islands have been reimagined as if they, for once, had some snowfall.

The islands are notorious for the summer heat – with snow being practically a non-occurring phenomenon except for the few times hail falls in winter.

But @malta_ai figured that Malta might be suited for white roofs, snowy roads and frozen seasides. And they were right!

In the latest images generated through artificial intelligence, we got to see various localities return to the Christmas spirit just as summer gets closer!

What do you make of these?

Scientists may have found a reason (and cure) for greying hair

Apr 20 2023

A group of scientists believe that they have discovered why hair turns grey as one ages, which could help develop new treatments to alter cells and reverse or even halt the process.

The new study suggests that stem cells may ‘get stuck’ as hair ages and lose their ability to mature and maintain hair colour.

The research was led by New York University Grossman school of medicine investigator Qi Sun.

The researched focused on cells in the skin of mice and also found in humans melanocyte stem cells (or McSCs). Certain stem cells have a unique ability to transition between growth compartments in follicles.

These cells lose the ability to move with age and could result in greyness.

Hair colour is controlled by whether continually multiplying pools of McSCs within hair follicles get the signal to become mature cells. These make the protein pigments responsible for colour.

It was discovered that during normal hair growth the cells continually pivot between compartments of said developing hair follicle. It is inside these compartments where where McSCs are exposed to signals which influence the maturity.

The finding suggests that while hair ages, sheds and grows back, McSCs get stuck in the hair follicle bulge, causing the greyness.
