Astrologie und der Zodiac: Mythos, Glaube und wissenschaftliche Realität
Full text linkThis text discusses the role of astrology and the zodiac signs in various cultures, from their historical roots in ancient Mesopotamia to their spread across different societies, including Greece, China, and the Islamic world. It examines how astrology serves as a coping mechanism for some, offering a sense of control and identity. Despite its widespread appeal, the text argues that astrology is a pseudoscience with no scientific evidence to support its claims. It concludes that while astrology may provide entertainment and a sense of belonging, it does not influence our daily lives or destinies and should be viewed as a remnant of an earlier time when humans sought to understand the stars
Die Erneuerbare Energie
Full text linkFossil fuels are the most used energy source but contribute to global warming. Renewable energy, like wind, solar, and hydro, offers sustainable alternatives. In 2020, renewables made up 21% of U.S. electricity generation. Chicago plans to use 25% renewable energy by 2025. Solar panels can lower electricity costs, though battery storage is expensive. Energy-saving practices, like using cold water for laundry, also help reduce consumption. Transitioning to renewables benefits both the environment and the economy

Sagallo: Russia’s Forgotten African Colony and Its Modern Implications
Full text linkImperial Russia is infamous for its rapid and unrelenting colonization efforts in central Asia and Western Europe. However, an oft-overlooked aspect of the Russian Empire’s colonial aspirations was its interest in establishing overseas colonial holdings in North America and Africa. One such holding was that of the colony of Sagallo, or New Moscow, in modern-day Djibouti, established in 1889 during an ill-fated mission led by notorious Cossack Nikolai Ivanovich Ashinov and a group of accompanying Russian Orthodox pilgrims. The mission was religious in nature and held the primary goal of establishing both an ecclesiastical and economic connection with the Orthodox Christian empire of Ethiopia. Although the attempt at founding a colony in what was then French Somaliland was short-lived and unsuccessful in its original goals, the purpose behind the expedition still managed to originate a pattern of soft power-based control tactics, chiefly involving religion, that Russia continues to employ in Africa into the modern day. This work aims to explore past and present applications of Russian soft power in Africa through an analysis of the brief yet meaningful establishment of its colony in Sagallo
