The European Basketball Championship 2015 is just around the corner. This year will be something special (well, hands down, EuroBasket 2013, hosted by Slovenia, was even more so), as it is shared by four countries, namely Germany, Latvia, France and Croatia. The proximity (Slovenia will play the preliminaries in Zagreb) will give the championship an extra boost, as we will practically be playing at home again. A real migration of nations is thus expected to the Arena. Since 1993, Slovenia has not missed a single basketball tournament of the old continent, and the last five have always reached the quarterfinals. Is it time to go one step further? The championship starts on September 5 and ends on September 20, 2015, and Slovenia opens it on Saturday with a match against the Croatians.

None of us likes going to the doctor. But… girls would love to see a doctor if our doctor looked like Mike's dream doctor. In addition to being smart and "sexy", he also has a beautiful husky dog named Roxy. Ready for some daydreaming about this magical couple?
Self-service machines have been with us for a long time. The most "famous" are vending machines for food/snacks, coffee machines, beverage machines and card machines. But these are far from the only things that such machines offer. There are also those with more "exotic" content. And one of those is certainly a vending machine created by designer Wang Yixing that sells folding scooters. These are much more convenient than folding bikes and other forms of transport, because you can store them in the side pocket of your backpack or carry them in your hand like an umbrella.

We all know the cocktail of excitement, nerves and butterflies we feel every time we go on a first date. That's when we want to look spectacular, feel comfortable and confident in our own skin. Cosmopolitan decided to pair three girls going on a first date with three little girls to provide advice and make-up. And the result?

People cope with stress in various ways (sports, drinks, movies, etc.), but there are also many relaxation methods. Everything is fine and correct.

But such relaxation can be expensive and you may regret it later. Not anymore. Here is the Rage Room, a room of rage, where you can smash things to your heart's content without a guilty conscience.
