Rapper legend and hip hop producer Dr. Dre released a new album after 16 years, not Detox but Compton: A Soundtrack. He was brought into the studio by the biographical film Straight Outta Compton - The Story of NWA, which will be released on Slovenian screens on August 20, 2015. On his third studio product, the first after the 1999 album entitled 2001, which also produced the hip hop classic Still DRE, will feature guest appearances from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and Kendrick Lamar.
Almost every company experiences a drop in productivity in the summer when the temperatures rise. We will explain why this is so below, as well as how to deal with the situation in the workplace. One reason for the drop is that nearly 51 percent of employees take more time for lunch than usual. And how to eliminate such productivity drains? Flexible working hours, telecommuting or a culinary treat at work.
Endangered species rarely make headlines or become the subject of widespread debate, but the illegal poaching of superstar lions, the protected black-maned king of animals, Cecil, a trademark of Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park, has brought the world to its feet. The pain of losing him seems as great as the death of Mufasa in The Lion King for the children, except that it happened for real. The Discovery Channel used the public's attention to raise awareness about endangered species and illuminated the New York skyscraper Empire State Building with images of 160 endangered species, including the late Cecil the lion.
Between August 24 and 28, the Kraken Short Festival (FeKK) will take place in the hall of the Slovenian Cinematheque and outdoors, in the auditorium on the Metelkova museum platform.
Book the night of Wednesday 12th to Thursday 13th August 2015 under the stars as the sky will be lively. We will witness one of the most beautiful space phenomena, a meteor shower, when flashes rain like a bet. The meteor shower is also known as the tears of St. Lawrence, as the annual event falls during the time when St. Lawrence rejoices. It will shed "tears" until August 24, but it will be best seen from Wednesday to Thursday.
Did you also get the feeling that wasps are particularly annoying this year? This has driven many people indoors instead of enjoying breakfast in the garden, balcony or terrace. Many people don't let it bother them, but the fact is that pimples can be very uncomfortable and even dangerous for some. So how do we get rid of annoying wasps? Simple. All we need is a brown paper bag, some old newspaper and some tape or string.
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!
