Don't adjust your TV set, we have not taken over your color adjustment. This isn't a Warren Miller documentary. This is an amateur video from Mars...er, sorry, Russia. What's going on here is red hued sand blowing north from the Sahara Desert in Africa has decided to decorate the white snows of Sochi. Sochi was the location of the 2014 Winter Olympics. It looks just like a scene on Mars, except for the skiers, of course. They're earthlings. The phenomenon happens about once every five years, so the Russians are no strangers to life on Mars. This particular event happened in March, 2018, and was widely reported from multiple news sources, so we have no reason to doubt it. The dust even tinted the sky, and skiers had to wear goggles. Skiers reported that “the wind is really wild,” which probably explains how the sand got there to begin with. Anybody with skiing experience would do a double take. Not only is skiing on red snow not normal, but subjecting your skis to <a href="https://rumble.com/v4okxp-sunglasses-guy-surfs-down-sand-dune-and-faceplants.html" target="_blank">sand</a> sounds like a horrible idea. It can't be good for your skis; imagine skiing on sand paper. This is an occasion when you break out your old boards, the ones you normally use for spring skiing, when you know you're going to be skating over patches of mud. If you do have expandable skis, poles, and goggles, then Mars Day could be a way to turn lemons into lemonade. Not everything about <a href="https://rumble.com/v4639e-weekend-night-skiing-comes-to-bogus-basin-mountain-resort.html" target="_blank">skiingi</a> is simply going down a mountain as fast as you can. Skiing is a nature event, and sometimes you want to take the long way down. We're seeing a lot of powder here, too! Wish we could say “white powder”, but we know it's not. And what about those barefoot kids being pulled in tubes? Is that a clue as to temperature? Because they seem well bundled up, otherwise. How many people around the world can say they've skied on Mars? Serious tourist market opportunities exist, if only the Russians could predict it ahead of time. Of course, with all that sand I would hope the Russians are covering their mouths and noses. Skis aren't the only thing that could be hurt from the abrasion of red sand from the Sahara. It can't be very good for your throat and lungs, either. A good shower is in order after you've been outside, and a hose down of all your outdoor equipment. The only people unhappy about “Mars Day” in Russia are the Saharans. “We want our sand back!” demanded several dignitaries from north Africa. “Our dunes are dying.” OK, nobody really said that. We can't verify reports of angry Saharans planning a sand recovery raid on Russia. But it is true the Sahara desert gives away a lot of sand to other places in the world. Sand blowing into the atmosphere out of West Africa is a determining factor in whether hurricanes will be strong or weak. A lot of sand in the air means weaker hurricanes in the Americas

It is always great giving to others that are less fortunate. Some people grew up in very different circumstances and it is if you can lend these people a helping hand! Some of these people come in the form of refugees. A refugee is a person that is forced to leave their country due to certain circumstances. These circumstances include war, natural disaster, persecution, violence, etc. Unfortunately, when <a href="https://rumble.com/v4j34b-county-libraries-help-refugees-immigrants-get-degrees-recognized-in-u.s..html" target="_blank">refugees</a> leave their country, they are leaving everything behind: their clothes, homes, jobs, sometimes family, friends, and mostly their comfort. It is so hard for them to adapt to their new country of living and very hard to get on their feet. Thankfully, this organization, RefugeesCode, offers a programming school for refugees to help them learn and eventually get a job! RefugeesCode is an Austrian based coding school for refugees to learn how to code from experienced programmers. Their main goal and focus is the integration into the work marketplace for their course attendees. This is great, not only are these students learning how to program and code for free, but they are also getting opportunities at internships and jobs! It is great that the people at RefugeesCode care enough to help with this difficult task! RefugeesCode does the recruiting, training, and placement once they have completed the course! Coding and programming is such a lucrative field currently, with the advancements of technology, every company needs programmers to help them out if they want to survive in this day and age. The salary can be extremely high and there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of jobs for this field, since computers are the present and the future, this will definitely be a lucrative career choice for a long time! This is great for these people that are learning <a href="https://rumble.com/v3aiot-3-simple-tips-to-start-a-career-in-computer-coding.html" target="_blank">coding</a> for free as it gives them a sense of security for when they get into the job marketplace. They can be at rest knowing they have a stable job and a very important one! The students in the video are working on a joystick project for a type of video game controller. The program is said to last 9 months, so this is great progress in their training! Alexander Hartveld, one of the co-founders, wants to bring people together with coding. They call it a universal language because no matter your situation or where you’re from, you can find similarities and comfort with others through coding! Using technology to unite people as well as create useful solutions for real world issues is one of the things important to Hartveld. The program is centered in Vienna and is for everyone to come and learn but it is free for refugees. This is meant to allow everyone to come together and grow and learn as one! RefugeesCode is doing an amazing thing for people in need and are looking for a brighter future! This programming training gives them hope and a potential career! This is amazing video and RefugeesCode should be honored for the amazing things they are doing for the people of Austria!
