Slovenian basketball gem Luka Dončić spoils the basketball public week after week with moves that are common to the greatest masters of the basketball game. Despite his early years, NBA teams are already chasing him. A member of the Real Madrid Baloncesto basketball club could play in the strongest basketball league as early as 2018, when he will be able to apply for the NBA draft (basketball player must be at least 19 years old). And if he is the first pick in the draft, he will get a dream contract.
Interview: Aljaž Osetič, high school student and entrepreneur who goes across the pond for knowledge
Aljaž Osetič is a 4th-year student at Velenje High School. And like every high school student, he also has to take the matriculation exam first, and then study. But Aljaž was not satisfied with just anything, he enrolled at the exclusive entrepreneurial university in Watson, USA, where only fifteen students per year are taught by Nobel laureates. He successfully passed the entrance exam, and so this year at the end of August, he is going to face new challenges. Even earlier, he will finish his project with the Trjajalnik team, where they developed a product to shorten the reaction time of firefighters during an intervention (a sign that a volunteer firefighter places with a magnet on the roof of his vehicle when driving in an emergency). What does the future alma mater bring and what does the project mean for firefighters, below.
The Aljaž Tower, a symbol of Slovenia, today on the top of Triglav, at 2,864 meters above sea level, has been offering shelter and a photographic motif to mountaineers for 120 years. Defender of Slovenia was founded by Jakob Aljaž and three assistants on August 7, 1895, after he bought 16 square meters of land on the roof of Slovenia for a goldsmith. Have you ever taken a picture with him?
As many as 18,000 photos were submitted to the National Geographic Traveler magazine, but the cream of the photography competition was picked up by only one, the Slovenian storm chaser Marko Korošec, who proved with a photo of a stormy supercell that our small size is not a prison cell that keeps us from for the world to notice us. Even though such international successes are a rare phenomenon, even more so than the weather phenomenon that brought him victory.
