A recent study showed that those who use Facebook live longer, but this one finds that we are less happy if we often follow what is happening with our friends, because the online image creates a false sense that others have a perfect life, but we ourselves no. As a result, it brings more envy than joy into our lives.

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?
Christmas is coming, which can only mean one thing. Yes, okay, presents under the Christmas tree, but we were referring to the film Home Alone (1990), which has been a staple of Christmas TV for more than 20 years. Inextricably linked to the film are the traps that Kevin McCallister sets for the robbers. Seemingly innocent, Vsauce3 checked what the consequences would be if the events of the movie Home Alone happened in real life. Hint. They would have put her together much worse than in the movie.
The first solar road in the world was opened in the French village of Tourouvre au Perche, which means that part of the roadway was covered with solar cells. It is supposed to generate enough energy to power street lighting.
Loving is a mid-20th century biographical drama by Jeff Nichols – based on the 2011 documentary The Loving Story – about interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving. In Virginia, where they lived, it was against the law at the time. The film is an ode to a loving couple who set a new milestone in the fight for civil rights in the United States with their silent fight for justice. The film received a standing ovation at its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
Ski lovers, beware! After four years, Kanin, the highest ski resort in Slovenia, is back in operation! Today, the first skiers have already tried it, but tomorrow you can too!
As simple as we can measure our body temperature or blood pressure, we will later be able to measure our heart rate as well. Researchers at the Jožef Stefan Institute have developed a personal medical device for accurate monitoring of heart rhythm, which stores the data on a mobile application. Place the device on your body, and you can send the measurements to your doctor at any time, who can identify any deviations or defects in the functioning of the heart.
David Allegretti and his friend Sean conducted an interesting social experiment. They put on reflective vests, the kind usually worn by directors and security guards, and checked whether this would get them into a concert, the zoo, the cinema for free... As it turned out, the reflective vest is a universal ticket for concerts, sports, cultural and other events.
During the Christmas and New Year holidays, many people festively light up not only the interior, but also the exterior of their house. Especially in America, people compete with each other to see who has the most beautifully decorated house during the holiday season. And if you thought your neighbor was over the top with their decorations, then you definitely haven't seen these holiday decorated houses. I can't even imagine what the electricity bill is.
Ballerina and Viktor is a Canadian-French animated family comedy set in the 19th century. It tells the story of an orphaned girl, Felicia, who dreams of becoming a famous ballerina. So overnight, she leaves her monotonous job as a kitchen assistant in an orphanage and sets out to chase her dreams with budding inventor and loyal friend Viktor, who encourages her to join the ballet school of the famous Paris Opera.
You probably all still vividly remember the scene when Petra Majdič fell off the track and into a three-meter ditch during training at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. At that time, Slovenia's breath stopped, and Petra, despite broken ribs and a punctured lung, later won the bronze medal for Slovenia in excruciating pain. A heroine was born in Canada, who was sung by the whole world, and today her epic story is brought to life in the documentary Against All Odds - Petra Majdic's Incredible Story of Sacrifice.
Christmas is just around the corner and children are already eagerly waiting for the presents under the Christmas tree. Parents usually scare their children in the days leading up to Christmas that they will not get presents if they are naughty and that they should behave themselves because Santa Claus is watching them or they will be blacklisted. Good behavior today also means responsible web surfing. Kaspersky Lab has revealed which children were the most naughty in this area in 2016.
If you were not chased out of the sea by the movie Swallow, you will definitely be caught by the Russian fisherman Roman Fedortsov, who posts scary photos of fish and other sea creatures that he has pulled from the depths of the sea on Twitter.
