"No" is a pretty scary word (after all, the Japanese don't even have it in their dictionary!) because it has as many potential side effects as some antidepressants. No wonder we avoid it like the devil of the cross, when it can cut so deeply into a person. But if you know how to use it in the right way, you can even strengthen your position (level of satisfaction) with it, which you defend so convulsively by nodding.

Vogue has chosen the 10 most desirable male models of all time. Let's check who are the charmers who seduce us from the ads of the most famous fashion campaigns.
Oh the (60s and) 70s! When the biggest "Rock 'n' roll" groups lived crazy lives and really knew the (only) real "groupies" or female fans who brought musicians to their knees.
First the bad news. We have been hearing for decades that the world is coming to an end, that it is only a matter of time before we get there. And now the good news. It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey that matters. And if you come across the photos packed in our gallery along the way, you'll be able to walk away at peace with yourself when the time comes. So don't delay, so you won't regret it in the end!
What you see are not photographs. What you see are the oil paintings of the Israeli painter Yigal Ozeri, which are so realistic that they seem quite scary. The quiet beauty, incredible realism and narrative power of his paintings are the result of thousands of tiny, precise brushstrokes.
An existing 40-year-old house in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong, recently received a complete makeover.
Lego has built a mighty empire with the help of bricks since 1949 and is today the best-selling toy brand, even ahead of Mattel, which built its name around Barbie. The credit for the switch at the top goes to the animated Lego movie, with which Lego "outplayed" Mattel for the first time. But if Barbies and Kens are reserved for children, the age limit for Lego is drawn in the sand, so it's no wonder that the blocks are also found outside children's rooms.
Although the word surfing has taken on a new meaning in the last two decades, displacing even the original from the top spot, surfing, whether on the water or online, remains a leisure activity that is much more difficult to master than clicking and scrolling a wheel on a mouse. And since surfing is one of the coolest sports, even celebrities can't resist its charms, even if they are a mismatched 'couple' with a board.
Swedish photographer and retouching master Erik Johansson does not capture moments in his photographic lens, but ideas. His work is incredible photographic manipulations, viewing which we lose the sense of what is real and what is not, and everything that seems impossible to us suddenly becomes possible.
No matter what you call it: "40 blinks", "power nap" or "eye rest", there is a lot to be said for a more or less humble nap. Even enough to collect enough data to create a comprehensive infographic.
A bicycle is a very convenient means of transport when you go on small errands. But the problem arises when you don't just go to the post office, to the hairdresser or to work, but go shopping with him. Roki wants to have the handlebars all to herself, the trunk is too small for everyone, the basket is too cumbersome and mostly only on women's bikes. So the car? No, for such situations choose Packtasche, a foldable and portable bicycle shopping bag made of cardboard.
Oh, Wes Anderson. Even if we consider ourselves (more or less) adults, his films take us to a magical world where everything is somehow real, yet fairy-tale, childlike and full of imagination. The Spaniard Jaume R. Lloret combined all the scenes of driving vehicles in the films of Wes Anderson and a charming one-minute video was created that takes us (literally: on roads, tracks, seas, rivers and clouds) to this very world.
