There are thousands of languages in the world, but a smile says everything. The same could be said for kisses, snoring, drinking, pain, barking,... But once we want to describe them with a word, they sound different in every language.

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.

Microsoft presented the new Windows 10 operating system yesterday in San Francisco. Don't worry, you didn't wake up in the future, because this largest software manufacturer in the world skipped the 9 because it would smell too much like the "subway" 8 that didn't catch on . The tenth version therefore resorted to the proven seven and the popular Start menu.

The team at Californian startup Arubixs has rolled up its sleeves and introduced a smartphone worn like a shirt sleeve to the world via crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. The Portal is a flexible waterproof tablet that can be worn as a wristwatch. Forget smart watches and their tiny screens, here is a 4- or A 6-inch screen that, unlike the iPhone 6, does not mind bending.
Spending money has become so easy that financial discipline is as fragile as dietary discipline. During the economic crisis, the focus shifted from spending to saving, and if we don't have control over spending, our financial well (account) likes to dry up. Sometimes a dry spell can't be avoided and here are some tips on how to get through these tough times.
Is the view through the eyes of a child more authentic? Does the child see boundaries? The ones in your head, the ones on the map? After the Slovenian documentary film "Mama Europe" by Petra Seliškar made the rounds of as many as 20 film festivals in 16 countries and was richer for the international response and two awards, it will now project its story on Slovenian screens, premiering on 1. in October at 7 p.m. in Kinodvor, which will be followed by a talk with the team.
The circular cycling route in Ljubljana is a new thematic cycling route that winds along the Ljubljanica and interweaves the urban environment with nature and where the Ljubljanica river accompanies you instead of the river. It runs from Fužin Castle along the Ljubljanica embankment through Štapanjska naselje, Kodeljevo and the heart of the city (Petkovškovo embankment, Prešernov, Kongresni and Novi trg) and ends at Špica (Prule).
At the request of the Mammut company, the Matterhorn was turned into a "canvas" by the Swiss photographer Robert Bösch, who marked the 150th anniversary of the first ascent of this 4,470-meter-high peak, located in the Pennine Alps between Switzerland, with a series of stunning photos with mountaineers as models. and Italy and which, due to its difficulty, was one of the last mountains in the Alps to be climbed by the pioneers of alpinism.
Robert Downey Jr., the star of the Iron Man franchise, remains at the top of Forbes' list of highest-paid actors from the "dream factory." The roles of the iron hero and Marvin (Marvin, Marvel, coincidence??) in the movie Chef gave him approx. 56 million euros (75 million dollars), while Dwayne "The Rock" (more like "Hercules" for this occasion) Johnson was the closest to him with 39 million euros (52 million dollars).
GoPro has just released a fresh video and full range of knowledge of its latest GoPRo HERO 4 camera, the successor to the extremely popular HERO 3+. Although it's stepping into big shoes, it's clear that GoPro will maintain its supremacy as the most popular action video camera.
The Greeks already knew the mystical power of trees. Today, we worship everything else, but the tree remains a symbol of the connection between man and nature and actively participates in shaping our everyday life. All too often we take trees for granted, even though they do an amazing job. Not only do they provide shade, they are oxygen factories, biopics and records of time, they are also true natural wonders with their aesthetic appearance.
Today they try to put a price on everything. Even coral reefs. The Great Barrier Reef, the father of coral reefs, is worth as much as €4.7 billion to Australian tourism, but invaluable to the health of our oceans. Although it is the largest living creature in the world, a jewel that stretches for 2,300 kilometers and is the most massive representative of its species, climate change and human narrow-mindedness are taking a toll on its health. The organization GetUp! comes to his aid with a video contest.
