Foster + Partners Designs Vertiport Terminal for Dubai, Showcases the Future of VTOL Transport
In recent years, the concept of urban air mobility has gained traction, and with it, the development of vertiports, which are essentially small airports designed specifically for vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (VTOLs). Vertiports are set to revolutionize urban transportation, and could become the next big transportation hub for several reasons.

British architecture studio Foster + Partners has completed its Varso Tower in Warsaw, Poland, a supertall skyscraper that measures 310 metres and is now the European Union's tallest building.
The skyscraper, which houses offices, restaurants, retail facilities and a sky garden, has overtaken Foster + Partners 259-metre-tall Commerzbank Tower – built in Frankfurt in 1997 – to become the tallest building in the EU.
The 310-metre-tall Varso Tower has a rectilinear form comprised of three volumes that stagger into one as they reach its tallest point at 230 metres. The structure is topped by an 80-metre-tall spire.

I was today years old when I realized that weird alien invasion event that happened on Cartoon Network was all a part of a Kraft's Mac N Cheese sponsorship...For those who don't know...
Back in 2007, Cartoon Network marketed this big event where aliens invaded in five of their popular shows at the time: Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, My Gym Partner's A Monkey, Camp Lazlo, and The Grim Adventures of Billy Mandy. Each episode had two things in common: An alien species that looked the same in each show and cheese...Just...Just cheese. Lots of cheese. Characters eating cheese and protecting cheese and even chasing after a character named Cheese.
This was stretched out for a month, and it was all sponsored by Kraft, hence the weird obsession with cheese in each episode. This was an idea that NONE of the showrunners wanted to do, but the network forced them to do it anyway. Still, some tried to make this forced idea work because...it was all for the money, I guess.
Unfortunately, Kraft would BACK OUT of this deal, and it was all thanks to the episode that Billy and Mandy had to make. Because I guess they didn't like an episode where a kid's head blew up for the sake of saving cheese or something (I barely remember that episode). But, yeah, that's the main reason why Cartoon Network did this weird event, and it was all for NOTHING. And I'm going to be honest...I wish more studios did weird shit like this.
I mean, I don't WANT showrunners to be forced into making an episode they had no desire to make, but let it be known it left an impact. Like that time Disney Channel sitcoms had characters wish upon a shooting star that caused them all to temporarily live out these weird what-if scenarios. It's frickin' weird, but it's the best kind of weird.
