The new Mercedes A-Class – as yin (formula 1) and yang (hatchback)

In September 2015, European roads will be richer for the new generation of the Mercedes A-Class. It will be the renewed third generation that debuted in 2012 and redefined the future of this German brand. The revamp also brings a sporty version of the A45 AMG and a brand new fuel-efficient diesel engine, and all A-Class models also get the new Dynamic Select adaptive chassis. Most of the changes took place "behind the scenes", in terms of physiognomy, the "youngster" does not depart too much from its predecessors, but otherwise it is something completely new, a car with the soul of Formula 1 and the comfort of a limousine.

BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R – a memory of BMW's "discovery" of America

At the prestigious gathering of rare and antique cars and automotive novelties Concours d'Elegance Pebble Beach in the USA, BMW turned back the clock and with its new version of the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R concept paid tribute to the Bavarian beginnings on American soil, where in 1975 they opened their first branch outside Europe BMW North America. Hence the similarities with the legendary BMW 3.0 CSL model, which also served as inspiration for the aforementioned concept, which debuted in the American IMSA racing series that same year.

Portraits of celebrities that don't exist, even though you'd swear they're real

Pedro Berg Johnsen has an unusual horse. In his spare time, he combines the faces of celebrities and creates portraits of people who do not really exist, even though we recognize the facial features of celebrities in them. Are you curious about what kind of hybrid is created when you combine the faces of singer Taylor Swift and actress Emma Watson, actresses Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie, and actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Colin Farrell?

Suck.Uk - Laptop cat scratcher is the world's first cat laptop

Cats hate it when we humans use the computer because it distracts us from the purpose of our existence - to serve them. That's why they always hang around us. What can one do in such a case? The solution is the Suck.Uk scratching post in laptop form! A cheap solution that serves as bait. Because, would you rather pay a few hundred euros to insure your computer equipment or would you rather shell out 31 euros for a "pr(ask) carrier"?

O Six Hundred Kayak – A 4,000-year-old kayak design in a modern guise

Supi, back off! Here's the O Six Hundred ultralight kayak from Australia, which brings back to modern culture a 4,000-year-old Eskimo boat design made of a wood/bone frame over which a stitched animal skin was stretched. The modern version is made of 30 pieces of arawakaria - an evergreen tree native to Australia - and carbon fiber and weighs only 10 kilograms, but is still as strong as oak.

What are the toasting rituals around the world and what are the foreign equivalents to our 'Cheers'?

Toasting is one of those rituals that the whole world knows. Clinking glasses with a drink, a greeting and/or a tip has crept into every corner of the world, but every country does it in its own way. Not only the words that are said on the occasion, but also in the ceremony itself, there are considerable differences between the nations. Here's a guide to how people toast around the world, or what their toasting rituals are and what equivalents there are to our 'Cheers'.

Google Photo: What to do with digital photos after vacation?

Vacations are slowly coming to an end, which means that many of you are returning home with full "batteries", and especially with full memory cards due to the abundance of photos taken. There must have been several hundred of them. The days when we went to the photo studio and developed them are long gone, now we move most of them to the computer. Digital photography has completely changed the way we perceive memories. We used to put pictures in albums, today they are drowning unmarked in files on the computer. Therefore, we suggest that you consider the Google Photos application, where your photos will be automatically uploaded, sorted and tagged.

Footgolf - a mixture between football and golf has also taken off in Slovenia

Golf is too expensive a sport for you, and you don't play soccer because you have two left feet. Maybe it's time to try footgolf, a young recreational sport discipline that emerged in 2006, and the first tournament as we know it today was organized in 2008 in the Netherlands. Since then, his popularity has spread like wildfire, and after "foot golf" drove America crazy, he also set foot on Slovenian soil in the spring. You can play a game of footgolf in Bovec, Piran and Ptuj.

Snowdinia – a paradise for water surfers with artificial waves that carry you as much as 150 meters

Surfing is closely related to the weather, so every surfer regularly looks at the sky, or better, at the horizon, and looks out for suitable waves. From now on, they will no longer have to get up early for a perfect "session", adapt to the weather, tides and other things they cannot control. The paradise for surfers is no longer Morocco, nor Australia, the mecca for wave lovers is now Snowdinia in Wales, a lake with artificial waves that carry you as much as 150 meters!

Movie Trailer: Life (2015)

The English actor from the big screen, Robert Pattinson, who became famous with the vampire saga Twilight, has proven to be more than just a teenage idol many times. Admittedly, the screaming teenage girls didn't stop, but this experience came in handy when filming the James Dean biography Life. Admittedly, he did not portray the famous actor himself, who personifies the term rebel without a cause - Dane DeHaan stepped into his shoes - but a photojournalist who sees something more in the then unknown actor.

Movie trailer: The Hateful 8

Promised bread is eaten the most, and even Quentin Tarantino ate it. After pulling out of his eighth film, The Hateful Eight, last year in frustration because the script was leaked prematurely, he changed his mind after cooling off and made it. Since then, the gun or the rifle has not cooled down in front of the camera, as it is a western with a proven cast. There are Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bruce Dern, Walton Goggins and somehow Samuel L. Jackson, without whom Tarantino's film is almost indispensable.
