Summer is the time when most people travel and meet foreign cultures. Therefore, now is the right time to refresh your knowledge about customs in foreign countries, so that you do not accumulate problems or strange and ugly looks. A certain gesture can be completely innocent in one country, but in another it can be extremely offensive. In order to avoid breaking etiquette on your next trip, we have a handy infographic for you that will teach you how tourists should not behave in foreign countries.

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?
Stories about the ascent of Mount Everest have already been told in countless documentaries, but now Hollywood has a say, as it chose a true story as the basis of the film Everest and packed it into a first-class biographical adventure. Baltasar Kormákur's film describes an ill-fated expedition, and judging by the trailer, where a bunch of big names are lined up in front of the screen, we are not in for an ill-fated or even disastrous film, but a top disaster film.
Think of all the dream cars you can own and you get just an approximation of The Pinnacle Portfolio, a collection of cars the world has never seen. In it we find the Ferrari Enzo, which was given to Pope John Paul II as a gift, the very first Bugatti Veyron produced and the Saleen S7 from the movie Iron Man. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of the cars that were auctioned at RM Sotheby's.
The concern Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has presented the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo virtual racing car, which we will be able to get to know in more detail in the game Gran Turismo 6. For good measure, they have prepared as many as three versions of this hybrid supercar with a centrally located drive train. The concept is the result of an internal competition on the topic of "super sportsman 2035". The image was taken care of by Paul Hoste, otherwise a big fan of the game.
The Cinder Cone is a bohemian treehouse in the Columbia River Gorge Nature Reserve (Skamania County, USA) that hovers over a skatepark. It's a tree-lined residential "complex" that hovers over a skatepark and an outdoor hot tub that's "heated" by wood. The project was overseen by people of various professions, from professional carpenters to those who gained experience while working.
Virgin Trains have created an innovative 'Beard Cap' for men who believe their bushy beards are slowing them down when swimming. It is made of lycra, flexible and reusable. It wraps around the chin and, like hair, covers all hairy growth so that it no longer presents so much resistance. They will be tested for the first time at the largest European recreational swimming competition, the Great North Swim, which takes place in Great Britain.
Z for Zacharian is a science fiction film that takes us to a post-apocalyptic world where only one place was spared. It brings together three people, the last three survivors, who find themselves in a dangerous love triangle. The film is based on the book of the same name by Robert C. O'Brien and was signed by Craig Zobel (Compliance), who entrusted the acting roles to Margot Robbie, Chris Pino and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
The question of where SanDisk put 128 GB of space in its new Ultra Fit USB flash drive is similar to the "rhetorical" question from the anecdote about the four elephants and Fičot. Two in the front and two in the back. Although it seems physically impossible, SanDisk has managed to create a USB stick that is only slightly larger than a USB connector. And since cloud storage hasn't killed the need to store on a USB memory stick, SanDisk's Ultra Fit 3.0 will win you over.
Forbes magazine once again browsed the monarchs' bank accounts, and you can see the latest ranking of the ten richest members of blue blood below. Although many of the obscenely wealthy rulers are sitting on oil and other natural resources and their fortunes are constantly changing, most maintain their positions relative to years past. And although monarchs in Europe no longer have the same influence as, for example, in Arab countries, as they are surviving political figures, many are still basking in wealth.
Today, everything revolves around batteries. But we are mainly talking about those lithium-ion ones that keep smart mobile devices alive. Despite this, there are still many devices around us that are powered by classic disposable alkaline batteries. A television remote control is just one example. And since we know how fed up you are, because you have to change them from time to time, the Batteriser case will also come in handy, which extends the life of the battery by as much as 800%!
Great news for all those who love the post-apocalyptic Fallout series. A trailer for the new, fourth sequel, which has the working title Fallout 4, has landed online. The game has once again been signed by the Bethesda company, which will reveal the official title at the E3 computer game industry fair.
Just as every serious photographer knows that an additional battery is a mandatory part of the equipment, the smartphone user is also increasingly aware that the battery is the Achilles' heel of modern mobile phones. That's why the Chinese Gionee put not one but two in their Gionee M5 smartphone. This should contribute not only to a longer autonomy of the mobile phone (up to 4 days) but also to a longer battery life.
