A cup of intoxicatingly fragrant coffee is the first thought in the morning for most people. But contrary to the belief that we cannot start the day without a dose of caffeine, we actually can, because the effects that you attribute to coffee are created by the body itself. Behind it all is the daily or circadian biological rhythm, our internal biological clock, which, among other things, takes care of the production of cortisol, the stress hormone that prepares the body for action and is directly related to stress and alertness. But you thought it was coffee and that you knew how to drink it. You have lived in error.

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?
From kitschy costumes and primitive special effects to jaw-dropping graphics. Special effects have come a long way, and one of the first studios to board that ship was George Lucas, the father of Star Wars, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which is celebrating 40 years this year. On this occasion, they prepared a one-minute video collage with excerpts from films with their graphic masterpiece.
Sitting by the campfire is soothing, but what if you could play in the swing next to it. But we know that swings are not exactly the most portable piece of furniture, and certainly not camping equipment. Thanks to the Evrgrn folding swing, we can now add this to their list of features. It rests on two bamboo sleds and can't tip over, so no worries if you drink too many beers.
The visionary and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who was hired by Google several years ago, often bombards us with provocative but often accurate predictions, such as that a computer will beat a human at chess (it already happened) and that we will be surrounded by autonomous vehicles vehicles (already happening). It is also known for the theory of singularity, a concept that futurists like Kurzweil use to explain the development of the world from the point of view of technological development.
Why cheese has holes has puzzled scientists for almost a hundred years. Now, however, we got the right answer. It was provided by Swiss researchers from the Agroscope Food Science Institute in Bern, who thus filled the remaining gap in knowledge about cheese. The culprits are the small particles of hay in the milk that get there during the milking of the cow and not the carbon dioxide secreted by the bacteria, as has been the prevailing theory until now.
It all started in 1975 when Alexander Calder did something unheard of. At the request of racer and art lover Herve Poulain, he painted the BMW 3.0 CSL model that competed in the 24-hour Le Mans race. With this, he began to write a very special chapter in BMW history, as the 3.0 CSL is considered the first car of the BMW Art Car collection, which still fascinates art and car lovers 40 years later. On this occasion, BMW collected all 17 such cars in a pile, which are the work of 16 artists who walked the Caldera route. Among them is Andy Warhol.
Just when you thought Legos couldn't get any better, along comes Grant Thomson aka "King of Random" with a recipe for edible homemade gummies shaped like Legos that you can play with and build with. Watch the video to learn everything you need to do to turn this popular toy into candy. Who says food isn't a toy?
The best-selling beer in the world is not Belgian, not Czech, not Mexican, not even American. In fact, only one from Europe was on the list of the ten best-selling beers, namely the Dutch brewery Heineken, the newly minted owner of Pivovarna Laško, in seventh place. You probably haven't even heard of the beer that ended up at the very top, let alone tasted it.
On June 6, 2015, the jubilee 20th cycling marathon of Cherries will take place. Last year, 1185 cyclists completed the 108-kilometer route from Ljubljana to Dobrovo, and this year the organizer of the Goriška brda Wine Cellar is expecting four-digit attendance. The record is currently held by 2010, when 200 more cyclists participated than last year. Will the farewell to the teenage years bring record attendance?
Edwar Zwick (Blood Diamond, Love and Other Drugs) returns to the screen with the biography Pawn Sacrifice about the greatest American chess master Bobby Fisher, convincingly portrayed by Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man). All the paths of the film (read stories from childhood and youth) lead to the chess match of the century with the Russian Boris Spassky (Liev Schreiber).
Benedetto Demaio decided not to flood his Instagram profile with photos of food, but with a series of photos where he puts everyday objects such as balloons, rubber bands and crayons into simple but beautiful compositions.
Weather with Miki Mustro – Zvitorepec, Trdonja and Lakotnik as characters in the weather application
Like Peter Florjančič, Miki Muster also proves that his years are not keeping him alive and despite his venerable age he can recognize an interesting idea. Cooperation with the company As factor means that now its most recognizable comic characters, Zvitorepec, Trdonja and Lakotnik, have made their way into the weather app Vreme with Miki Mustro, where they will appear as animated characters.
