You know the one. Someone offers you a bulky orange life jacket and you politely decline it. I can swim, you think, and besides, you'd look ridiculous. But in the USA alone, 83 percent of the people who drowned in 2013 were not wearing it, and as many as 370,000 people drown in the world every year! Handy wearable device Kingii aims to reduce this bleak statistic by reinventing lifelines. It is a wrist device that uses a CO2 bomb. In case of danger, it inflates a hidden cushion that keeps a person afloat for up to 48 hours.

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?
The Sphericam 2 is an extremely powerful spatial video camera capable of capturing 360-degree footage in ultra-high resolution 4K. Her abilities border on the professional level, so she's not cheap either. It is therefore the first camera with the possibility of 360-degree monitoring, which is of sufficient quality to create content for virtual reality. All others until now have fallen on their knees before this task, and Sphericam 2, despite the size of a golf ball, is up to the task. And the users on Kickstarter knew how to reward this.
Learn to accept criticism, because admitting mistakes is often a necessary step on the way to the desired result. Yes, we are all sensitive to comments, whether they are about our work, habits, appearance or the way we raise children. On the other hand, we also have bloody hands. But constructive criticism and its acceptance is indispensable for personal growth, so we must learn to accept it. Check below how.
Growth are very special flower pots that grow together with the plant. Their design was signed by Bike and Begum Ayaskan from London's Studio Ayaskan, and they found their inspiration in the Japanese art of folding paper into a certain origami sculpture. But the unusual shape is not the main advantage of this innovative pot, but rather its liveliness. Together with the plant, it spreads and climbs, so that it can provide it with more soil and enable better branching of the roots.
You might think it's harder to finish a stage in the Tour than to swallow everything the Tour de France cyclists eat during the day, but it seems that the mission "on the breath" is to eat everything they eat during the day professional cyclists, more impossible than cycling on a French bow. The Norwegian journalist Nicolay Ramm tried to do just that. To consume 8,000 thousand calories, as much as professional cyclists do per day, to withstand the killer rhythm. Check if Ramm flunked the exam or if he succeeded.
The newly opened vegan restaurant Nyama, which opened its doors just a stone's throw from the center, on Streliška Street in Ljubljana, is the first vegan haven in Ljubljana. The ice has now been broken even in the capital, where until now vegans mostly had to perform "acrobatics" with menus in order to get what they wanted while dining out. Now there is no need to mix side dishes and "cheer" for Asian restaurants, where the menus are the most suitable for vegans, because Nyama offers everything they have always wanted. And more.
Some years ago, legendary tennis player Chris Evert said, "Some female tennis players are fighting like jesters on the court." We will not get into the controversy surrounding tennis players who are extremely loud when hitting the ball, but we will check how many decibels their screams are. For several years, the queen of moaning, which often turns into shouting, has been the Russian Maria Sharapova, and the Belarusian Viktoria Azarenka also fights quite aggressively at times. But they are not the only ones.
ZenFone 2 is the flagship of the Taiwanese company Asus, which was the first among smartphones with 4 GB of working memory. But that is far from all that this premium phone, which is also available in Slovenia, has to offer the user. The ZenFone family is a newcomer to the Slovenian market, headed by the ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML) model, which we had the opportunity to get to know.
It ended once again among comic book fans. In San Diego, at the comic festival Comic-Con, which was flooded by fans of series, comics and movies, studio Warner Bros. presented the first trailer for the highly anticipated film Suicide Squad about a group of infamous villains who must cooperate in exchange for honor and a cleared name in risky operations, which, last but not least, betrays their name - Deadly Squad. It is the third film in the DC film world and the first where only villains and anti-heroes will be the focus.
The Lesenjača is a wooden bicycle of Slovenian origin, behind which the up-and-coming Mika Kovač and his parents stand, and it was created in the family carpentry studio 4MK. The Lumberjack's journey to Kickstarter is an interesting one, as it all started in the 2nd year of high school, when Mike and the rest of the class were given an assignment to make something out of wood. Since Mike is a cyclist at heart, a wooden bicycle was the first thing that came to his mind, and his home workshop also came up with the idea. The result is worth not only a high five, but also financial support, don't you agree?
Sometimes we have so much work that we don't see each other. With family, social life and maintaining a healthy mind in a healthy body, it is therefore difficult to always keep productivity at its peak. Because we usually juggle ten things at once, well, unless we're a professional juggler. For everyone else, we have prepared tricks or targeted applications that will allow us to "do" all our daily obligations.
On July 28, 2015, the first Esports event will take place in Cineplexx cinemas. It will begin with the screening of the documentary film Igranje je garanje (All Work All Play), followed by a live switch-on. You are probably wondering what it is actually about. Initially, we will learn about the worldwide phenomenon of gaming as a sport, which will be enhanced by watching others play video games, which are measured as part of the Esports competition. Here, professional gamers compete in a huge number of games for rich cash pools and eternal computer glory.
