Ford Mondeo
The new Mondeo looks good, and beneath those smart lines we find the underpinnings of the S-Max MPV – by far the most deserving recipient of the European Car of the Year award of recent times. And there’s no doubting how hard Ford has tried to adapt the Mondeo to the new market forces that so threaten its success. It can’t do much to make the badge feel more upmarket, but at least the newcomer’s cabin feels airy and appears to have taken a big step forward in quality.

The Responsible Tourism Awards, 2007
Carbon emissions, climate change, vanishing wildlife, declining cultures and languages, polluted oceans… you could be forgiven for thinking that, in order to minimise your impact on the world around you, you should never go on holiday again.

Čovečanstvo u šest čaša
ŠEST različitih pića obeležilo je tok svetskih zbivanja: pivo, vino, žestoka alkoholna pića, kafa, čaj i “koka-kola”. Tri sadrže alkohol, a tri - kofein, ali ono što im je zajedničko jeste da je svako od njih definisalo ključne epohe u istoriji čovečanstva, od antike do danas.

Koreans go under the knife in a cut-throat race for jobs
Young Koreans in their teens and twenties are flocking to plastic surgeons. These are not starry-eyed dreamers seeking breast implants before a trip to Chungmuro, South Korea’s version of Hollywood. The patients crowding the waiting rooms of plastic surgeons in upmarket neighbourhoods such as Apgujeong want jobs with industrial conglomerates such as Samsung or LG.
