There is something very special about summer and we wish it would last forever. It could be fresh watermelons or just more vitamin D, it could be ice cream or the fact that we make plans that excite us in a good way – whatever the reason, the summer sun is shining both outside and inside us. It's a wonderful season, and before it leaves us, we'd like it to embrace us one last time for the year. Here is a selection of the ten best summer movies that will conjure up an endless summer.
If you've ever watched the drama series Lie to me, then you know that covert lying is practically impossible, because unconscious body language always betrays us. On average, people come across 10 to 200 lies per day, so the knowledge of applied psychology, as we witnessed in the aforementioned series, seems to be useful. But you can recognize a lie even without this kind of knowledge, namely through the language used by the liar.
Many women say this. Before I became a mother, I could sleep as much as I wanted. I could chat on the phone for hours. I never really thought that any flower in the meadow could be poisonous or asked about allergies. I never paid too much attention to the late hour... But when they became mothers, their world turned upside down. And even though it sounds like they exchanged an easy life for a life full of worries, they discovered interesting things with their child that they didn't know about themselves before they became mothers. Check out what "discoveries" women make when they become mothers.
Many a city cyclist has a lot to say about bike racks. Indeed, industrial designers have been creating interesting stands for the last few years, which are becoming an indispensable part of urban furniture, but too often we get the feeling that they only thought about aesthetics, while they completely forgot about the practicality of stands. How else is one to interpret e.g. spiral racks that are a disaster in terms of usability? The same cannot be said for the Estonian design studio Keha3's stand and their refined version of the Tulip fan fan stand. Is the Tulip fan fan 2 the modern bike rack we've been waiting for?
Space salad? Even children would eat these types of vegetables. But so far, the honor has only gone to the astronauts on the International Space Station ISS, who set a new milestone by growing the first food in space (Project Veggie). It is a new step in training humans for a mission on Mars and an idea that has been toyed with in many films, the latest of which is The Martian.
"Life is a series of surprises." said the American essayist, writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. One such is the stunning time-lapse recording 9,000,000 words, which reminds us that life is made up of tiny little things, which in the end, like pebbles in a mosaic, form a whole. Live in the moment and enjoy what life has to offer, because everything passes too quickly, like the mentioned time-lapse video by Patrick Weldon. And if a picture is worth a thousand words, a time-lapse recording is worth more than 9 million!
Speed has always been an obsession for man. Being the fastest is the desire of athletes and many cars, because the title brings eternal, well, at least five minutes of fame. Humans are driven to push boundaries, and the fastest in the world are those who have pushed this boundary the longest. Check out the compilation of speed records of all living things.
The Night Before is neither a 1988 movie nor a Beatles song. It is a film coming out at the end of 2015 from the creators who gave us Neighbors and "almost" The Killer Interview, so it should be pretty clear what kind of comedy it is. Especially if we add to that that it stars Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie as a trio of best friends who have spent the last 14 Christmases together. But in the meantime, the boys have grown up and decided that the fifteenth Christmas will be their last together.
Oktoberfest - who doesn't know it? All beer lovers know that late September and early October is the center of the Oktoberfest beer world in Munich, Germany. This year's 182nd Oktoberfest will take place between September 19 and October 4, and beer will once again flow in streams in the Bavarian capital.
Women usually fall into two camps when it comes to men with body and facial hair. On one side there are those who can hardly resist such men, and on the other end there are those who don't care. Beard, mustache, "love carpet", hairy back, clean appearance, baldness, etc., strongly divide women's opinions, but they change over the years. Still, back hair never really meets with high approval, while chest hair has a much larger following. Check out what other women think about other types of body and facial hair in men.
In Maribor, at Glavne trg 1, we find an impressive building with an even more impressive interior, where fashion and product design by creators and music and words by artists and thinkers go hand in hand. It is about the idea of an eclectic aesthetic urban space, where the creative team tries to establish an "urban showcase" of local creative energy from the past and present, organizes various thematic events, and at the same time invites you to tea in a shop with a concept that invites you to shop, sit and chat .
Remember Isaiah Webb aka Incredibeard? The husband has got some serious competition in the bizarreness of what to do with his beard. But creative director Adriano Alarcon took a different approach to his Fifty Fifty Selfie Barber Shop project, leaving half of his hipster beard intact and shaving the other half and swapping the hair for various objects and creatures. Cockroaches, chocolate crumbs, ants, popcorn, sharpening remnants and other objects "overgrew" exactly half of his face.
