Coffee, this social phenomenon, is synonymous with many things. It's an excuse to hang out, "shut up," "good morning," and drama. It is the first stimulant that we think of when the eyelids are getting heavy, when we are tired or when we have to get up in the morning. That's why many people can't do without it. However, coffee is not always the only and correct answer to the mentioned ailments, especially if it is already deep into the afternoon and you plan to close your eyes overnight. Then it's good to know how to overcome fatigue and sleepiness without caffeine. And that's exactly what we'll be serving you later on, instead of a cup of coffee.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Boots come in all shapes and colors and the days when we only wore boots when it rained are long gone. They have established themselves as a fashion trend and many people use them to brighten up their style, and they also add color to the gray days that come with autumn. We've rounded up the most colorful and fashionable boots, and added a dash of the unusual to make you look forward to the rainy fall weather.
The teaching profession is considered relatively comfortable by the public. This connects him with a lot of free time and a fairly solid salary, and many people cringe when they read and hear in the media how teachers are again dissatisfied with their situation. Many people do not realize that Slovenian teachers have as much paid leave as others, so they have to cover the two-month gap with overtime work. But in order not to go around in a vicious circle, let's take a step back and put their salaries in a wider context with the research of the international educational company GEMS Education, which reveals what teachers' salaries are around the world.
Slovenes say, "Whoever doesn't jump isn't Slovenian!", and the British might say, "Whoever doesn't drink tea isn't British!". Drinking tea is considered an island tradition, and there is hardly anyone who does not know the English custom of drinking tea at five in the afternoon, when the English sip black tea with milk, sweetened with a cube of sugar. But the islanders are far from the only ones who enjoy drinking this Teinian infusion. In India, the world's largest producer of tea, drinking black Indian tea (with a mixture of aromatic spices boiled in milk) is a ritual everywhere. On the streets, in a restaurant, on the train... and does not have such a high status as on the Island. Check out the video to see what the tea drinking culture is like in other parts of the world.
For the tech-savvy cyclist, there are a number of smart bikes. Unfortunately, not all of them justify the high price, especially when you have a perfectly good bike at home. Fortunately, there is an upgrade that turns such "ordinary" wheels into a SmartHalo device. Based on simplicity and ease of use, Cyclelabs' circular device combines navigation, an alarm system, a bike light and much more.
Who doesn't want to be smarter than others? So you know what are the signs that you are above average smart. Not to say that you know more about a certain thing than others. Because being smart doesn't mean that. So what does it mean to be smart? It's a question that has puzzled scientists for decades, and research suggests that everything from your choice of pet to how tall you are can affect your intelligence. Check out the other signs that you are above average smart.
The British film Kill Your Friends is a mixture of black comedy, crime and thriller, which was "cooked" by Owen Harris according to the recipe of John Niven, who wrote the screenplay, and which he adapted from his own book of the same name from 2008. Set in London in 1997, rising star Nicholas Hoult takes on the role of an overly competitive A&R manager during Britpop's "golden cow" (read hit-making) era.
What would happen if the most influential politicians in the world - Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel - were famous movie actors? What if we were addressed from movie posters instead of podiums? This is exactly what was on Luigi Tirina's mind, who used Photoshop to recreate famous movie posters with three world leaders.
There are many so-called universal wrenches on the shelves, but no French tool has such a brilliant patent as Jordan Steranka's Aperture Wrench. The tool uses the principle of aperture in photographic lenses. And not only do you use it to reduce the "roll of" tools, with the rotary wheel on the side you can instantly set the size you need to tighten that bolt nut.
Did you wake up happy and smiling today? Well, that will change in an instant when you watch the trailer for the horror film The Witch. And if the pleasantly cool morning air didn't give you goosebumps, the next two and a half minutes will give your skin goosebumps. The Robert Eggers-signed film was a huge hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and you'll be pale from fear while watching it in 2016.
Espresso cafetiera Pulcina is the work of Michele de Lucchi and combines the technology of two Italian giants of design and coffee industry - Alessi and Illycaffè. The latter lent his knowledge of coffee preparation, while Alessi provided experience in design. And a coffee machine was born that makes coffee for the new millennium by emphasizing the organoleptic properties of coffee, i.e. the characteristics that we perceive through the mouth and nose.
Dreaming of trading your 1999 Ford Fiesta for a high-tech BMW? Of course, but unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees. Fortunately, a new "gadget" has appeared, which will also adapt the car given by emso to today's standards and bring infotainment even to such an old "cradle". And that for just over 230 euros. We are talking about the projection screen or the Exploride HUD, where you can find all the key information gathered under one roof.
