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.

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.

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.

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?

Korean designer Jang Wooseok has given a human touch to something so mundane and plastic with the Take Kiss Out coffee cap. From now on, we can also kiss with coffee over full lips and a protruding nose.

We are used to the fact that billiard tables are rectangular in shape, they are distinguished only by size, among which the snooker table is the largest.
