Artist James Champan, a master of cute illustrations that show how words and emotions sound in different languages, will publish an illustrated guide to international onomatopoeia on the subject, ``How To Sneeze in Japanese''. The book will try to follow in the footsteps of the success of his debut album, Soundimals, and Champan raised the start-up funds for it through a Kickstarter campaign. Ka-ching!
Photoshop has become synonymous with beautifying photos that were incomplete without its intervention. In some cases, this is acceptable if magazines and online media get the consent of the person in the photo. But recently, a Facebook group called Project Harpoon (which has since been shut down) appeared online and drew a ton of criticism for posting photos of "plus-size" women who had become thin with the help of Photoshop. Despite the controversy, the #ThinnerBeauty movement lives on, and websites and subpages have grown on the FB site that continues its mission.

The duo The Chemical Brothers have never left us indifferent with their videos, and it's no different with their latest product for the track "Sometimes I feel So Deserted". It is the second single from the album "Born In The Echoes" after the video for the song "Go", where they were joined by Q-Tip. The apocalyptic video, which is a mixture of The Walking Dead and Mad Max, was directed by Ninian Dogg, who is responsible for many videos of the music group Kasabian.
Coffee, this social phenomenon, is synonymous with many things. It's an excuse to hang out, "shut up," "good morning," and drama. It is the first stimulant that we think of when the eyelids are getting heavy, when we are tired or when we have to get up in the morning. That's why many people can't do without it. However, coffee is not always the only and correct answer to the mentioned ailments, especially if it is already deep into the afternoon and you plan to close your eyes overnight. Then it's good to know how to overcome fatigue and sleepiness without caffeine. And that's exactly what we'll be serving you later on, instead of a cup of coffee.
Do we already have everything for the start of the new school year? Students will have to wait another month, but high school and elementary school students are already (almost) ready for new challenges. As long as it doesn't really go away, we can turn our brains off a little and relax with real "back-to-school" movies that will prepare us for the school bell.
The teaching profession is considered relatively comfortable by the public. This connects him with a lot of free time and a fairly solid salary, and many people cringe when they read and hear in the media how teachers are again dissatisfied with their situation. Many people do not realize that Slovenian teachers have as much paid leave as others, so they have to cover the two-month gap with overtime work. But in order not to go around in a vicious circle, let's take a step back and put their salaries in a wider context with the research of the international educational company GEMS Education, which reveals what teachers' salaries are around the world.
Slovenes say, "Whoever doesn't jump isn't Slovenian!", and the British might say, "Whoever doesn't drink tea isn't British!". Drinking tea is considered an island tradition, and there is hardly anyone who does not know the English custom of drinking tea at five in the afternoon, when the English sip black tea with milk, sweetened with a cube of sugar. But the islanders are far from the only ones who enjoy drinking this Teinian infusion. In India, the world's largest producer of tea, drinking black Indian tea (with a mixture of aromatic spices boiled in milk) is a ritual everywhere. On the streets, in a restaurant, on the train... and does not have such a high status as on the Island. Check out the video to see what the tea drinking culture is like in other parts of the world.
Who doesn't want to be smarter than others? So you know what are the signs that you are above average smart. Not to say that you know more about a certain thing than others. Because being smart doesn't mean that. So what does it mean to be smart? It's a question that has puzzled scientists for decades, and research suggests that everything from your choice of pet to how tall you are can affect your intelligence. Check out the other signs that you are above average smart.
The British film Kill Your Friends is a mixture of black comedy, crime and thriller, which was "cooked" by Owen Harris according to the recipe of John Niven, who wrote the screenplay, and which he adapted from his own book of the same name from 2008. Set in London in 1997, rising star Nicholas Hoult takes on the role of an overly competitive A&R manager during Britpop's "golden cow" (read hit-making) era.
What would happen if the most influential politicians in the world - Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel - were famous movie actors? What if we were addressed from movie posters instead of podiums? This is exactly what was on Luigi Tirina's mind, who used Photoshop to recreate famous movie posters with three world leaders.
