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?
Infinity C is a concept table or night lamp by Korean designer Jung Dongsung, which offers a glimpse into the future of lamps that will one day adorn our homes. Its shape resembles a magnifying mirror from a bathroom, except that both sides of the surface each serve their own purpose.
Projectors for every pocket are nothing new. But most have to make compromises and at the expense of size either resolution or brightness suffers. The UO Smart Beam Laser pocket projector offers both, HD resolution (720p) and exceptional brightness (60 lumens) and all this in a housing that measures only 5.6 centimeters in height, width and depth. And as its name suggests, it uses advanced laser diodes and LCoS (Liquid Cristal on Silicon), i.e. reflective LCD technology, to deliver the image.
Even though we haven't encountered Aliens in real life, that hasn't stopped the movie industry, let alone our imaginations, from imagining them in a thousand and one images. We drew them as children, and the seventh art has poured into the canvas countless times in the form of Aliens. Sometimes they are downright diabolical, sometimes the similarities with humans are more than obvious, thirdly they are monsters, and we could go on and on. But why list when you can see everything in a film compilation that walks through 113 years of film history of Aliens.
This year, the biggest Slovenian tennis tournament ATP Challenger Tilia Slovenia will coincide with the traditional Portorož night. So we will witness both a musical and a tennis treat.

Activities as part of the Fun Zone project will provide additional variety to the event.
Daring chases, witty observations, femme fatales and changing locations as a flag. The new "feature-length" trailer for Specter has all the makings of a James Bond movie. In excerpts from the 24th film of the spy franchise about agent 007, Aston Martin and Jaguar also get their place under the sun.
The OZO Watch by Anton & Irene is a minimalist watch with two dials and no hands, which recently won the prize for the best design concept at the red dot international competition for the best designed products. It is now ready for production and will soon go to Kickstarter for start-up funds.
Do you know how long it takes us to form a first impression of a person? Psychologists say that only a few seconds. No wonder, then, that everyone stresses so much how important it is to put in a lot of work and preparations in those few seconds. Why? Because in the following infographic, you will learn how elaborate the image people create about you after just a few seconds based on your appearance, appearance, voice and behavior.
Are specific sleeping habits the key to success? Are you more successful if you sleep more or less than the average person? Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all, but after a deeper insight into the otherwise quite different sleeping habits of the great minds of human history, a pattern can be recognized in them. Geniuses such as Ludwig Van Beethoven, Benjamin Franklin and Sigmund Freud all adhered to the popular wisdom that we need 6 to 8 hours of sleep during the day for optimal efficiency.
Is The Revenant finally the film that will bring Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the greatest actors of his generation, the coveted Oscar? The recipe seems right, because the Oscar-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman) sat in the director's chair of the adventure film from 1820 about a hunter who, after being attacked by a bear, is robbed by his henchmen and left for dead. If we add the fact that DiCaprio also stars Tom Hardy (Mad Max - Fury Road) and that Leo rarely chooses a bad role, we are in for a real cinematic treat.
No air conditioning? No panic! You can cool the room even without an air conditioner, even if this sounds like a pious wish on days when the hellish heat is pressing, when it is barely sustainable even in the shade and the walls of the apartments turn into radiators. But the air conditioner is not the only lifeline, because you can cool the rooms you stay in the "old-fashioned" way, with a few strategic maneuvers. Check how you can cool a room without air conditioning.
Some time ago, an investor wanted to reconstruct two existing residential buildings in Ljubno ob Savinja by the Ljubnica river. Superform architects Marjan Pobolšaj, Anton Žižek, and Meta Žebre took the matter into their own hands and came up with an architectural solution that is absolutely fascinating. Houses with two different characters were created. The first is very traditional, "tight" and restrained, while the second is its complete opposite. She is bold, open and extroverted.
