The embankment of the Ljubljanica called Špica, where bathers once thronged and which is located just a stone's throw away from the center of Ljubljana, will once again have a richer restaurant offer as of June 30, 2015. There are now again crowds of people who are not cooling off, relaxing or walking along the Ljubljanica river, but rather catching the sun's rays in the Špica Caffe cafe, which is part of the Kaval Group restaurant chain.

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?
Snowden is a biographical drama about a former contract employee of the US National Security Agency (NSA), who made global headlines in June 2013 after sacrificing his life for the greater good and exposing secret government surveillance of phone and online data through the Guardian newspaper ordinary citizens and foreign high statesmen. The feature film about the whistleblower was directed by the legendary Olive Stone, who is no stranger to this type of film, as he already has biographical films JFK and Nixon.
The medical journal The Lance has discovered that climate change will have a greater impact than first predicted. Compared to 1990, four times more people will be exposed to extreme rains, and the number of people affected by drought will triple compared to 1990. So who is safe from climate change? Of course, we will all feel and are already feeling the impact, but who will take it the worst? Check the survival of which countries are most threatened by climate change and how Slovenia is doing.
While the company Uber, which helps users with mobility in major cities through an application, is avoiding lawsuits and bans (Germany, Italy) because it represents unfair competition to transport services, the Americans offered Turkish users in Istanbul the UberBOAT service, which provides an alternative transport for crossing the Bosporus sea strait. Instead of driving across a bridge or ferry, people can choose to travel by motorboat or speedboat.
Why are people happy? What makes us happy? The reasons are varied, as happiness comes in many forms. It can be a walk in the park, watching a movie, licking an ice cream or watching the sunset. And while these are all real reasons for happiness, scientists have discovered the true essence of happiness. And this is bringing out the good or the best qualities in others.
There is fierce competition in the upper mid-range of smartphones, but it seems that Meizu's successor to the popular MX4 model, the Meizu MX5, will have no problem competing with rivals, neither with those in its category, nor with premium brand models. With the difference that it will be half the price of the latter. The most modest version, the one with 16 GB of memory, will cost just over 250 euros.
Given that smartphones have largely replaced digital cameras, it makes sense that more and more photography gadgets are adapting to them. One such example is the lightbox Lightcase Pro, a collapsible portable photo studio for smartphones, which is therefore the right choice for all those who want to take professional photos of objects with a smartphone. It is available on Kickstarter.
Say goodbye to bulky bike racks and say hello to TrunkMonkey, the world's most portable inflatable bike rack. When not in use, use the air compressor to deflate it like a water cushion, store it in the included bag, which can be attached to the bicycle seat holder or stored in a backpack or trunk. You can pre-order yours on Kickstarter.
Do you want to be ecologically aware? Then buy Adidas sneakers. Yes, you read that right. Adidas is going green with eco sports shoes made from marine waste and fishing nets. At the same time, the German manufacturer of sports shoes teamed up with the environmental organization Parley For The Oceans and produced concept sneakers that are almost entirely made of plastic marine waste and discarded fishing nets. Part of the fishing nets has an even more interesting story.
The World Architecture Festival 2015 (World Architecture Festival, WAF), which this time takes place in Singapore, will not announce the winning architectural solution until November, so all the nominees are already known. But since there are a total of 338 finalists for the most interesting new architectural solution, we made our own strawberry selection of the most interesting new buildings in the world that shone in the last year.
Of course, there are established rules of table manners, but restaurant etiquette around the world still varies from culture to culture. For example, in France bread belongs on the table and not on the plate, and in Italy it is a sin to ask for Parmesan cheese at dinner. Also check the other rules of table manners so that you know how to act when dining in a foreign restaurant so that you don't make fun of yourself or offend someone unnecessarily.
Three years ago, it was necessary to shell out mountains of money and send a loud and rather large unmanned aerial vehicle into the air for high-quality aerial shots with a drone. Today, thanks to Extreme Flyer's Micro Drone 3.0, you can capture the action in 720p quality with one of the world's smallest drones. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo for a calculated 135 euros.
