Svalbard is a remote island group north of Norway. Its largest island, Spitsbergen, is the home of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, where anyone can deposit seeds
to preserve them even in a case of a global crisis or a regional disaster. Being such a remote place deep underground, you can be almost certain that you can still
recover the regional plant varieties no matter what happens outside the vault.

Peloton is a company producing exercise bikes and an accompanying subscription service. The idea is clever: bring the concept of personalized, social training to the userβs living room through classes with a real-time motivational instructor. Rather than plodding through rain and darkness to the local gym with loud music and insufficient equipment, just hop on your bike in the morning and train with a true professional. The uniquely effective ability to motivate exercising has surely contributed to the 25% increase in Pelotonβs share price since the October β19 IPO.
