But we don’t only show you the latest trends in fashion, we also keep you updated, when it comes to technic or accessories. In our smart watch special we show you watches with an absolute must-have factor. And that‘s exactly, when this question pops up: “Is a gentleman allowed to wear a sporty smart watch?” Who knows … Another question I’m getting asked constantly lately, is: “Is it still trendy to wear a beard?” I have to reply: Yes, absolutely! And not only the beard stays in style for 2016, so do tattoos! Getting inked is more popular, than ever before! As a matter of a fact, we’ve talked to Mohsen Tighbakhsh about this topic at his tattoo studio named “Tiba” in Berlin-Charlottenburg. We’ve been very fascinated by his life story and his amazing skills, when it comes to cover-ups and diverse tattoo styles! Talking about spring the lust soars inside of us men. It’s all about the sun in our face and the passion in our pants… That’s why we also have prepared the best tips for you within the following topics, so that you can enjoy spring to the fullest. Therefore: Enjoy the sun and be good to yourself! Tobias Bojko

The rebel is very individual and he turns his back on mainstream. He makes a stand against boring standards, which he obviously shows through his very own style. Wild stylings and freakishly combinations help him do so. He uses examples from all kinds of movements and mixes them up as he likes it best. To be a rebel is simply cool and there are rather no rules to follow. The rebel rocks by wearing stuff like men’s jewelry made out of leather or link chains and a stylish watch at the same time as pilot specs in any possible color. The most important thing is that he shows off freedom and independence. That’s how he wins numerous female hearts, by the way, as he rays out strength and an autonomous will. It doesn’t matter whether the rebel wants to contrast with political and social conventions or simply with the world’s snobbism, he lays a signal with his outfit.

A connoisseur of the art of living, who responds to every life situation with outstanding style – that’s a dandy. He reinvents old forms and behaviors and doesn’t seem to care about attracting too much attention. Au contraire! Narcissism is no curse word for him, because he knows how to stage his body best and he expends his money with pleasure to do so. Fancy vests, fashionable shoes, buttonhole sprays and prominent accessories are characteristics of a dandy, but especially he is an innovative fellow, showing and causing sensations with new varieties of good old classics. Of cause the style of a dandy is not only external, but shows in his way of behaving, too. One who calls himself a dandy mesmerizes the people around him by having the qualities of a perfect gentleman as well as a perfect outfit.

THE BOMBER JACKET NICELY COMBINATED Strictly speaking, only the original model MA-1, which was handed out in 1958 by the Air Force, is actually allowed to call itself “a bomber jacket”. The nylon jacket used to be a development of the regular leather flight jacket and it came along with the advantage to be lighter and cheaper. Originally the bomber jacket used to have the purpose of reducing the risk of getting stuck in the cockpit. Further more its olive green color was perfect to camouflage, whereas the orange inner lining, also used to be helpful, when you wanted to draw attention to the rescue forces! Considering worst-case scenarios, like getting entangled with the parachute, were avoided
by the knitted collar, which used to be close fitting on the neck. Another advantage is the fact that back in the day as well as now, the jacket can warm you up, even when it‘s down to 5 Fahrenheit. These days there is a huge variety of the bomber jacket – it comes in all different kinds of shapes, with or without a belt, in different colors, with a zipper or buttoned, in leather or in satin, simple or fancy. Based on its stereotyped racist reputation, the bomber jacket was not favored for a whole while. But that’s water under the bridge; the bomber jacket has its bombastic comeback in the world of fashion, now! AJOURE MEN MAGAZINE PAGE:

SMART WATCH SPECIAL Does a smart watch fit us men? We are used to it for many, many years: to the wrist of a man belongs a luxurious watch such as a Rolex, Breitling, TAG Heuer or others. They have to be precious and they have to radiate manhood. We could never have imagined to combine a plastic-smart-watch with a suit. But times are changing – so do manufacturers of luxurious watches. The first is TAG Heuer, which brings a smart watch with a noble design, that packs a punch to market. In the following we present you smart watches that are wearable and affordable – plus, of course, the new TAG Heuer.

Samsung Gear 2 The Samsung Gear 2 is compatible with any Android phone running Android 4.3 and since recently with every iPhone running iOS 8.2 or upward. Furthermore it is said to work without an active connection with a phone. It weighs 55 grams and has a resolution of 360x360 pixels. The rotund design looks fantastic and allows for easy navigation with the watch‘s bezel. The only drawback is the rather long recharge time of the smart watch. Recharging can take up to three hours. Yet, it prevails on the market as the device with the best performance. Price: starting 359 €
Moto 360 (2015) The Moto 360 impresses with its striking design that immediately catches the viewer‘s eye. It comes in two different models: either 42mm or 46mm. Also, it‘s fully customizable with the use of Moto Maker. The 46mm model weighs only 50 grams and has a resolution of 360x330 pixels. The only thing that could be improved is its software Android Wear. Despite considerable progress, it is not immaculate yet. Price: 299 – 429 €

BEYOND ALL NORMS
TAG Heuer Connected
Huawei Watch Sony Smartwatch 3 The Sony Smartwatch 3 comes with an integrated GPS module, weighs roughly 45 grams and has a resolution of 320x320 pixels. The design is rather simple, but the smart watch features a compass, a gyroscope and an accelerometer. Unfortunately, the bracelets are not completely interchangeable; however, the price-performance ratio is excellent. Price starting 149,90 €
The smart watch by Chinese manufacturer Huawei, weighs around 62 grams and has a resolution of 400x400 pixels. That is the highest resolution on the smart watch market. The perfectly processed watch is available as a men‘s and a women‘s watch. Apart from outstanding technical product features, the watch‘s price is rather expensive, compared to other Android Wear smart watches. Price: starting 349 €
Apple Watch Sport As all other Apple products, the sporty version of the Apple Watch is immaculately processed. The 38mm version weighs only 25 grams and has a resolution of 340x272 pixels, while the 42mm version weighs 30 grams and has a resolution of 390x312 pixels. It is incredibly easy to use and convinces with great design. Also, it features the virtual assistant Siri and Force Touch, a new touch screen technology. But there are some disadvantages, too: The smart watch is significantly more expensive than other devices and the Apple Watch is exclusively compatible with iPhones. Price: starting 399 €
The TAG Heuer Connected is the only watch in the higher price segment. Well, apart from the Apple Watch Edition, which costs ten times the price of the TAG Heuer Connected. TAG Heuer is a well-known manufacturer of luxury watches and becomes very apparent with this smart watch. This perfectly processed Android Wear watch features a classy titanium casing and weighs only 52 grams, which is very light for a luxury watch. It is compatible with every smartphone that runs Android 4.3 and with every iPhone running iOS 8.2 or newer. An additional advantage: As the smart watch, just like any other technology, becomes obsolete after a few years, the manufacturer offers every owner of the TAG Heuer Connected to exchange his or her model for a similar analog model. The analog model will have an equivalent value of €1350. All in all, the TAG Heuer Connected is a luxury smart watch, definitely suited for anyone looking for a smart watch in the higher price segment. Its only weakness is the battery, which is rather weak in comparison to other devices, but it will still last a day or two. Price: €1350 AJOURE MEN MAGAZINE PAGE:

Compared to the Oculus Rift no headphones are included which means the user has to take an own pair of headphones or uses another gadget for the sound – like the TV loudspeakers. Regarding the controllers, the ones from Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are currently in advance. You connect the PlayStation VR with a DualShock-4-controller, with a PlayStation controller or with the PlayStation Move controller. So far the game player experience is not really satisfying. Therefore, it may well be that Sony will develop a total new controller for its Virtual Reality glasses. Although the power of the PlayStation 4 is outgunned compared to many gamer pcs it is ahead by a nose when it comes to the games. By now there are already numer-
ous games in the making – from flight simulations to adventure or shooter games. Supposedly it will come along with a brand new playing system, where the TV will be activated additionally to the PlayStation 4. This way the players can interact in different ways. It’s also planned, that player who looks at the TV can compete with the player that uses the Virtual Reality glasses. Altogether the PlayStation VR makes a solid impression and might be an interesting addition for convinced PlayStation user. It remains to be seen if the PlayStation VR can enforce itself compared to the really hard competition such as the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. Supposedly the Sony glasses will be released in June 2016 and probably will cost nearly 400 €.

WIRELESS TV STREAMING MICROSOFT´S WIRELESS ADAPTER REALLY WORKS WELL Whoever wishes a wireless transmission when connecting a smartphone or a notebook with a TV set or a beamer, has for some time past access to a number of different products that are available on the market. One of the most popular is the Microsoft Wireless Adapter. A short time ago, Microsoft has brought a revised version of this Wireless Adapter to market. The new version of the Microsoft Wireless Adapter is a little bit smaller than the previous model. The design is similar to a something greater USB stick with a HDMI-connection and a USB cable. The installation is totally simple. The HDMI connection is plugged into the according HDMI port of the TV set and the appropriate USB cable into the USB port. In case, both ports are too wide apart, there is a 20 cm long extension cable available which provides remedy. This is already included. As soon as both ports have been connected, the Microsoft logo will appear on the screen as well as the information that the adapter is ready to connect.

In addition, it is possible to choose between different modes. By this, the external device can e. g. be used as an advanced monitor. Furthermore, the Microsoft Wireless Adapter is, due to Miracast, compatible with every Android and Windows mobile phone that is compliant to Miracast. In this case it would be recommended to have the phone checked on updates first, as the Wireless Adapter does only work optionally in this case. If you want to combine your iPhone or iPad with an external device, unfortunately the Microsoft Wireless Adapter will not be able to help you. Here, the only alternative is Google´s compelling product, as there are IOS apps for the Chromecast Adapter which also allow a transmission with Apple devices. Practically your money is very well spent for the Wireless Adapter. Especially when presenting photos, the device works magnificently. Working with videos and movies, there is a hardly noticeable delay, this especially because picture and sound remain in sync. Therefore, the Microsoft Wireless Adapter is not adapted to computer games, as the short delay deteriorates the

The device features a power connection, a HDMI 2.0 port capable of transmitting 4K content with a refresh rate of 60Hz, an internet port, two USB 3.0 ports and finally a micro USB port to connect it to a PC. On top of that, there is a microSD card slot to extend the internal memory. The heart of the console is the 64-bit NVIDIA processor Tegra X with 3GB, which can be compared to the A9X processing unit of the Ipad Pro in terms of performance. The SHIELD controller is included in the box as well, featuring a button layout similar to the XBOX controller, an integrated headphone jack and a micro USB port for recharging. Additionally, there is a touchpad in the center of the controller, with a classic Android control-interface and a volume control. The range of the controller is significantly higher than that of other consoles, due to the controller linking up over WiFi-Direct to the NVIDIA SHIELD. Moreover, you can buy a remote control for about 50€ and a special mount for the console for about 35€. But what makes the handheld so unique, apart from its 4KFeatures?

If you own a NVIDIA PC system, it is also possible to Conclusion stream games from it to the console. The NVIDIA SHIELD is a top-notch console with major potential for the future. With features such as 4K-compatibility, WiFi-Direct or GeForce Now it is one step ahead of other consoles. Still, there is room for improvement regarding game and streaming service variety, making it hard to recommend the handheld to gamers right now. Apart from that, it leaves a very good impression and will most certainly surprise us with new features and improvements in the near-future. With a price tag of about 200€ for the classic and 299€ for the Pro-version it is easily acquired and might be an enrichment for every living room.

Furthermore, the console‘s internal memory can be upgraded with microSD memory cards up to 128 GB. It is also currently the only console on the market able to stream games in 4K-quality with a refresh-rate of 60Hz, and all this with a super-compact and very stylish design. It is near silent while being used and offers the possibility to search for content via voice control.

TIBA Tattoo Berlin
Interview with tattooist and „Tiba Tattoo“ general manager Mohsen Tigh Bakhsh „Do you know any good tattoo artist in Berlin?“ A frequently asked question to which we have an answer: TIBA! Since 2006, Mohsen Tighbakhsh has been tattooing with great passion at his Charlottenburg Studio named „Tiba“. He is a master of all techniques and Cover Ups. Very special and unique is the story of how he became a tattooist. Ajouré has interviewed Mohsen and reported about Tiba, the studio, where tattoos are an attitude to life
How long have you been tattooing? I have tattooed for about 15 years and professionally with a Studio for 11 years now. How did you start tattooing? This has always been my desire. When I was young, as a 14-year-old teenager, tattooing was completely unknown in my homeland Iran, or Persia at that time. One day I received a foreign Tattoo magazine as a gift and thought at first, those were stickers or something like that. I could already paint very well as a child and when I realized that the portrayed tattoos were real, I told myself that I have to learn this! The opportunity presented itself very late, not till I left my homeland and went to Germany. To become established in this industry is very difficult, mainly because there is no education. First, I had to find a job and keep my head above water and then very slowly get into the job. That‘s when I taught myself how to tattoo. You said you could already paint very well at an early age, so does that mean that you were very creative as a child? Yes, I could for instance paint portraits with 7 or 8 years of age. My father was a gifted amateur painter as well.

Our next reader‘s question is: what was the most badass tattoo, that you have ever done and you will always remember? That was a large back piece project. One girl wanted a large tattoo on her back: a fairy, that smokes a cigarette. This took a total time of around 120 hours for the entire back. We have discussed, assembled and engraved everything piece by piece. And the result looked very good! How do you deal with people, who want a certain tattoo with something very bad in it, for example controversial or political motives.
I had my first tattoo, when I left my homeland. At first I went to Romania. In the former communist regime, tattoos were also a relatively unknown thing. The first tattoo studios were opened by Americans who came to Bucharest. I was one of the first customers and got my first old school tattoo done. We have some questions from our readers: first, are there tattoo designs, that you would not dare to do? In terms of design and technique, there is no motive, I would not be able to do. But there are also many tattoos that I would not want to do, because I know it could go wrong. That is when I advise my customers in detail. Some consultation appointments can take around 4 - 5 hours, because I explain everything very accurately. Sometimes customers have a clear idea, which I advise against, because in 10 years, for example, that would not look good anymore. Of course there are also motives, which are so complicated and expensive, that they are maybe possible, but the expenditure of time makes it just not worth it. I can actually do all techniques, but whether this is good or bad, is hard to say. Some tattoo artists specialize in a particular style and are thereby known, which is why they have a lot of customers. I am doing everything possible and always do my best to make the customer happy.

Have there ever been failures? Thankfully, there have not been any in the last 8 years. At the beginning, when I did not have such a big knowledge, naturally a few mistakes happened to me as well, for example spelling mistakes, but errors in motifs did not happen. Last question, is there a tattoo, that you would absolutely love to do? I am an artist and my creativity has no limits. Of course, there is always a project that I would want to do, but after I have tattooed that, it does not mean, that there is no next project. I do my job with pleasure and it is always a challenge, when a customer comes with a special request to me. I turn this wish or request then into something tremendous and a free skin area into a piece of art.
You already have a lot of success in Berlin (when people come into your studio, it is always full) and you also have several employees. How do you choose them? What style do they need to have? I‘m trying to cover all possible styles. My employees only do a certain tattoo style. However, I do all styles. Do you express your opinion to your employees? If it is necessary, I speak my mind and I

What was your first tattoo?
In these situations I primarily adhere to the law, because right-wing symbols for example are prohibited. If the law does not prohibit a motif, then my decision of whether I will do it or not, will depend on my own human approval. Once a young man came to me, who had a swastika tattooed and wanted it to be covered. A lot of tattooist would have rejected it, but I considered this more like a help for him, because he got it at a very young age. I‘ve covered it for him.

Greyston Holt In our interview with Greyston Holt we could educe some secrets from the shooting of the TV show “Bitten” from him. Further the 30 years old told us about his other big passion – music – and why he chose to become an actor instead. Read the interview to get more impressions of the charismatic Canadian actor with Hungarian roots. hat do you think makes „Bitten“ different compared to other TV shows with werewolves and vampires? I think what sets our show apart from other “Werewolf “ or “Vampire” shows is that at its core it’s a grounded show about a family. It’s just that our “family issues” include defending ourselves from rival packs, navigating our own pack hierarchy or keeping ourselves from being exposed to the world. What makes our show interesting is seeing how our family or pack deals with these heightened and high stakes situations. We also focus on a lot of familiar themes including loyalty, love, loss and passion, to name a few, and I think anyone can relate to these things. What was the funniest situation or the weirdest experience on the set of „Bitten?” Well I was naked quite often on set, so anytime I had to put “the sock” on I was quite uncomfortable. Not because I was naked in front of people but because there was a cotton pouch with a draw tightened around my beans. Let’s just say there was a lack of circulation to a certain part of my male anatomy. Ouch!! My boys!!
What was the reason you decided to become an actor? Did you always want to become one? I sort of fell into it by chance. I took an acting class in my final year of high school because I needed an extra arts credit in order to graduate. There were a few different options and Acting12 was one of them. I took it on a whim and fell in love. It wasn’t really something I thought of as a career at the time but my mom happened to work with a woman whose sister was an acting agent so I had a meeting with her and I’ve been working with her ever since. It’s been 13 years and she’s been like a second mom to me. If you chose to stop acting, would you go ahead with your music or would you prefer to do something totally different? The beautiful thing about music is that you can have it with you wherever you are or whatever you’re doing. No matter where I end up in life I will always be playing

Since you are playing a werewolf, did you recognize behavioral animal tendencies looking at humans sometimes? Did your daily behavior change in certain situations?
I don’t think my daily behavior changed, but our body language in the show was very important. A wolf is very perceptive of another wolf ’s movement especially with the eyes. This is something that we were conscious of and used in our performances. For instance, by looking down and away from the person you are talking to is to submit to that person and for the other person to claim dominance over you. Reading another‘s face, in search of deceit, is extremely important in the world of Bitten in order to survive. I thought Greg (Jeremy) did this brilliantly when he was talking to anyone.

music however it’s not something I would want to pursue professionally. It would take some of the passion out of it for me. I’ve always had an interest in real estate. I just bought a place in my home town of Saltspring Island, BC, Canada. I’m planning on doing some renovations to the house with my dad, who still lives on the island, and renting it out as an income property. There’s also a separate small cottage on the property that I’m going to keep for myself; my own little slice of heaven. What‘s the toughest thing and what‘s the most joyful thing about acting for you? Anytime I’m on set I’m at my happiest no matter what I’m doing. I love it all. I’d say the toughest part about being an actor is dealing with rejection and your own self-doubt. That will never go away. Aside from „Bitten,“ where else can we hope to see you on German television? I wish I could tell you but I’m not sure. I’d love to do a German talk show! My girlfriend is actually learning German right now. Maybe she could help me out with a few phrases.

Do you have a role model - if so, who is it and why? I don’t have one “role model” per se, rather I take inspiration from all the people in my life. I’ve always looked up to my dad’s tireless work ethic and his gifted musical abilities (he’s an incredible drummer). My mom has always showed me that to be a good man you have to be kind to all those around you. My girlfriend has a beautiful way of not sweating the small stuff and letting negativity just roll off her back. These are obviously three very important people in my life but I look up to everyone I surround myself with. It takes a village. You’ve been a successful actor for a while now – what has been the most emotional moment for you? The last week of filming Bitten was surreal and extremely emotional not just for me but for our entire cast and crew. We were so fortunate to have worked
It’s instrumental, knowing you have the ones you love behind you
Have you ever talked to Kelley Armstrong herself about the TV Show? If so, how was her reaction - does she like it? I met her during season one but I didn’t really talk to her much about the show. She obviously knows Clay and all the characters better than anyone so I was scared to ask her what she thought. I had my own portrayal of Clay and I’m sure it was vastly different than what she may have had in mind. We used her first book as a guide and we stayed fairly true to it but Bitten inevitably became it’s own beast. Pun definitely intended.

We asked you quite a lot of questions about „Bitten“ – but we’d love to have our readers get to know you better. What are your biggest fears in life? That I won’t succeed. Do you have any unreached life goals or dreams? I still haven’t been in a film, that has had a theatrical release!! That’s a big one for me. Is there someone in particular you would do anything and everything for in your life? My girlfriend, Cristina. How did your family react, when you decided to become an actor? My parents have been nothing but supportive with everything I’ve chosen
in my life. I think that is so key, especially when you enter the arts. There’s enough self-doubt. So it’s instrumental knowing you have the ones you love behind you one hundred percent. Every normal person is fascinated about Hollywood and the fabulous life as a celebrity. But what did your life look like before all that? Did you have jobs that were inconvenient to you? Hahaha. I still find it odd when I’m referred to as a celebrity. When I was starting out, I worked at a coffee shop for a couple years as a barista, which I really enjoyed. I’ve also picked up extra work over the years, when acting was slow. I’ve done construction, worked for a moving company and even painted my parent’s house. I love getting my hands dirty. Always will.

The five-person alternative rock band from Ireland, hit an earworm with their song “Speeding Cars”. In our interview we learned new things about the musicians. In spring and summer they are on tour in Europe – don’t miss the chance to see them performing live on stage. We already know all of you love making music – but what was the reason you guys decided to become a band? We were in Dingle, working part time jobs and generally a bit bored so we got together and started playing tunes. We had no commitments or future plans so we had nothing to lose. We started writing straight away and played a few gigs in local venues and decided to just go for it. Do you remember what the first thing was you guys did, when you signed your first record deal? We signed the record deal in a hotel in Dingle where we would have had all our band meetings so it was the ideal setting and first thing we did was have a toast with a few glasses of bubbly. What do you think makes you special AJOURE MEN MAGAZINE PAGE:

compared to other bands? Coming from an isolated place like the Dingle peninsula where the music scene is mostly traditional we weren’t surrounded by other bands like us. We’re not trying to be anything in particular and never set out to be in any certain genre. We play what we enjoy and that’s the way it is. How come your songs mostly are very emotional and a bit sad? Music is an expression of emotions so when we write songs its naturally going to be emotional or sad depending on what’s going on in our lives. Our music is a reflection of us and the more powerful and emotional the better. We don’t tend to write happy songs. When you guys first started doing music, did you ever even imagine of becoming that successful and big internationally? When we started out as a band I don’t think we knew what we wanted. Our main focus was to play as many gigs as possible, get fans and record an album. Now that the album is out we need to make a new list! The harder we work and the more driven
AJOURE MEN / MUSIC we are the bigger our goals become. You know each other since your time back in school – that’s quite a long time period! Was there ever a situation where one of you guys thought about quitting? I don’t think so. We’re all in this together. Any success that we’ve had has been a gradual thing and a results of our hard work so we get a lot of satisfaction from that. Sorcha, how does it feel to be the only girl of the band? What was the funniest experience you ever made with the boys? It’s pretty normal at this stage. We spend so

much time together and have been through so much together it doesn’t really make a difference. We all have our roles to play in the band so it’s all good. It’s important to us to get to know you guys a bit better, so that’s why we would like to know: what are your biggest fears in life? Failure I suppose is a big fear. When you invest do much of your energy and time into something the thought of it not working out is scary. Do you have any unreached life goals? If so, what do they look like?
A world tour would be great! Who is the most emotional one of you? Everyone has their moments. When you spend so much time with each other you figure out when someone is in a bad mood or something so you give them the space. We’re all just as emotional as each other! Despite music, is there anything else you would like to do in life? Travelling is a big thing, see a much of the world and explore as much as possible.

So many wasted chances, when it comes to women - sounds familiar to you, right? No worries, you are not the only one, who missed lots of chances to talk to women! Just to make you feel a bit better about it, there are several popular men, singing about how shy they are to talk to their love of their lives! Indeed it’s not that easy to conquer your inhibitions. The first move to talk to a woman isn’t as easy as it seems, especially in everyday situations. In fact for many it’s even harder to flirt in public, e.g. in the subway, than in the club. That’s because the atmosphere is different in the daylight or there are just too many people around, who would watch and listen what you say or simply because you can’t just give yourself liquid courage. To start conquering your fear, you should start to make the first moves in a more relaxed situation. Let’s stick to the case example: AJOURE MEN MAGAZINE PAGE:

APRIL
2016
“how to make the first move in the club” You see the woman of your dreams standing at the bar and you start to wonder how you could get to know her. It often helps to tell yourself “now or never” to make an effort! As a general rule: First check whether she shows interest or not, that way you prevent the risk to get dumped. If you can’t keep making eye contact with her, she might not be that interested in you. However, you can give it a go! But if you want to play it safe, wait until she sends you signals. If she does, you can be quite sure, her reaction is going to be approachable, when you go over to talk to her. What you start chatting about is up to you - get inspired by the atmosphere and situation. No matter what, always be honest, natural and what we love the most funny! These characteristics are definitely most appealing to us women.
You could start the conversation by saying something like, she caught your eyes right away and right after that you need to politely introduce yourself to her. The first move is done and it’s as easy as it that! When you see her on the dance floor, make sure you keep an eye on her. If you are a good dancer, go and show up – but keep your hands to yourself while dancing with her! We don’t like men who get touchy too quick. In case you are not quite the best dancer, just wait until she leaves to the bar to grab a drink or to the rest room and take your chance to talk to her. It doesn’t matter what the situation looks like: Don’t you get drunk! Wasted men are so not sexy at all! So in case, you need to give yourself liquid courage, don’t exaggerate, please! A beery breath is a turn-off, too! Just try your best to make sure your articulation and behavior in general are impeccable!

WORDS OF ADVICE FROM WOMEN: HOW TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE
AJOURE MEN / EROTIC
GENERAL ADVICE, YOU SHOULD TAKE TO HEART, WHEN YOU WANT TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE: Humor
We love men, who can make us laugh. Laughing together will connect you much more easily.
Be yourself
Don’t act like someone you aren’t. Don’t pretend to be a womanizer, if in fact you are very shy. We’ll figure that out very soon and that won‘t be good for you.
Be spontaneous
If you wonder too much of what possibly could go wrong, you will lose precious time and leave a very phony impression – just be authentic!
Honesty
Be honest right from the beginning. Be yourself, lying makes things get too complicated after a short while and there is a high chance that we’ll figure it out, anyway.
Wait for the right moment
To wait for the right moment isn’t always easy. When you see, she’s deep in conversation, you shouldn’t disturb - the chances to suffer a rebuff are really high. And by the way, interrupting someone is very rude, anyway!
Be different
Be creative, when you make the first move. In case you are at a pub or at the club, notice what she’s drinking and order it. After the waiter brought the drink brought the drink to her, go over to chink glasses.
Forget cheesy pick-up lines. All they cause is laughter and rolling eyes. And always keep in mind: If you get snubbed, it’s not the end of the world – you shouldn’t stop trying!

HOW TO CREATE AN OUTSTANDING ONLINE DATING PROFILE Online dating still remains very popular and couples increasingly find each other through the Internet. At finding the right dating partner online, it’s rather important to have a good profile, than to use the right platform filters, hoping to be given the best recommendations. It’ll be hardly surprising, if one day a special science develops a creation of dating profiles. By then we sure can help with the following tips.
1: the Internet never forgets 2: make a plan in advance 3: it all starts with the picture 4: the right user name 5: honesty is the best policy 6: mind your effect on others 7: the fine-tuning

TIP 1: the Internet never forgets Tip number one falls little out of alignment, since it’s more a warning, than an advice. What happens to be on the Internet can’t be removed easily anymore. You have to choose the information and pictures very well, before you publish anything. In fact serious platforms do delete your profile, if you wish so, but meanwhile every site’s visitor has already seen and spread your profile.
Photos: Todor Tsvetkov; pixdeluxe; pablocalvog; jpgfactory; Ridofranz; DeanDrobot; anttoniu / iStock
TIP 2: make a plan in advance Even though it’s „just“ a dating platform profile, yet it needs to be well thought out, because otherwise it is quite sure that this is going to end with sheer chaos. You already might have tried to create an appealing entry yourself. If that’s the case, chances are good you’ve repeated yourself with several questions and other questions weren’t easy to answer at all. Perhaps you’ve filled in all gaps and realized later, that your profile is pretty vanilla and you will probably never win a woman. To avoid all such cases, you should have clear ideas of your profile: What do you want to achieve? Which kind of women do you want to please? What are your delights and what should stay covered at first? A small briefing will help you a lot and you can use it again later, if needed.
TIP 3: it all starts with the picture Usually, your photo is the first image users get from you. It’s very likely, this is what makes people decide, whether they ever click on your profile or not. Be your “best” self on that picture. But don’t exaggerate, the photo you choose should stay close to reality; it sure won’t be ending well, if you choose to use a picture of a celebrity instead of yourself. Also, be aware of what you want your photo to reveal to people: a picture showing you in action, maybe while you‘re wearing your sportswear, will leave a way different impression of you, than one that shows you in a suit. The other users will associate characteristics of yours right away, as soon as they see your photo. Anyway, you always should appear neat and reliable on the picture.
TIP 4: the right user name Not every dating platform works with user names. Many websites show you the person‘s real name. If you are free to give yourself a user name, you should follow the same kind of rules as with the picture matter, since other users will immediately associate with it, as well. User names such as „Player543“obviously are a bad choice for a serious search...
TIP 5: honesty is the best policy Of course it seems exciting to be a pilot, to do cliff diving as a hobby or to have snakes as a pet at home, but you need to be careful with such statements. Telling all these lies, you could probably be successful having an one-night-stand, but even that is only possible, when you are able to keep up with such illusions. Lies don’t travel far! Lies are an absolute no-go for a long-term search! Sooner or later the truth will come out and you might miss to grab the chance to a happy relationship. But honestly, if you find yourself boring you have to admit to yourself, that we simply can’t all have exciting lives - and that’s absolutely okay!
TIP 7: the fine-tuning That moment your profile is ready, don’t you rush and post it immediately! Just save the entry first and one or a few days after read all over it again. On the one hand misspellings are a definite taboo! The impression created by a text containing many mistakes is definitely negative. On the other hand you might write things down, that quite don’t match anymore, when you are in progress of writing. Try to distance yourself from your profile and then read it again, in a neutral way. You are welcome to show it to close friends, who give you an honest feedback. The ideal case is a female friend, who can tell you her opinion from a woman’s point of view. We do understand, that you’d like to go online as soon as possible, for being found by womankind, but a few days of waiting should be better than a false start, right?
TIP 6: mind your effect on other users What impression do you want to leave? How do you want to be seen by the viewers of your profile? Should they think you are masculine, positive, ambitious or adventurous? Or do you want to seem to be pretty boring and desperate? You shouldn’t simulate anything (see Tip 5), but in the first place, this is the only possibility your visitors have to judge you by. That’s why you should try to highlight your qualities in the best way you can. Of course it‘s very sad, if you are desperately looking for a long-term relationship for a while now, but that fact shouldn’t be spread around too much, you should rather keep this one to yourself!

Ten Romantic Suprises for Her
AJOURE MEN / EROTIC
�
�
ROMANTIC
At the beginning of every relationship romance is the first priority. After you came together little surprises, lovely messages and candle light dinners were totally normal. But in the course of time the romance fades and instead of the romantic candles you rather turn on the TV. If you still care enough about her, it’s about time to bring the romance back. In case you have no idea how to make that happen – feel free to follow our tips In case you might forget it, you better attach a postit with the letters ROMANCE on the screen of your computer. If you have no idea how to get back the feelings from the very first days, how to bring back butterflies to your tummy and also to your relationship – feel free to follow our advices.
1. Plan a surprise date!
After a while exciting surprises get lost in the daily routine. But it doesn’t necessarily have to end up like that. Send her a message that you pick her up from work. But don’t tell her what you actually have planned. This will make her think about you the whole daylong. Now, it’s all up to you: plan a romantic candle light dinner in the restaurant you went to on your first date or go on a cruise with her on a motorcycle.
2. Go on a journey with her
�
...such as a weekend trip to a close metropolis or just take your car and cruise around aimlessly, until you end up somewhere. That way you can make new memories together.

3. Let her relax
Normally you don’t take part in her wellness routine. Why not surprise her with a joint wellness day? A scented foam bath, a self-made peeling and on top a relaxing massage. Trust, she will melt under your hands.
4. Be creative!
Everyone has a talent – singing, writing or rhyming. Get inspired by the greatest artists in history and record a song for your girlfriend or write her a love letter. Also a compilation of your favorite songs, which you listen to together, is a cute idea.
�
AJOURE MEN / EROTIC
�
7. Book a night in a hotel.
Yes, of course you have a bed at home. But the night will be more thrilling when you spend it in a hotel room. Further it’s even hotter when you already wait for her in the hotel room – she will feel excited, when she gets up with the elevator and knocks on the door.
5. Surprise her with breakfast in bed.
Get up before her, buy croissants and make coffee. She will feel loved and very special. Good thing about this surprise is, that you can lay down again right after the breakfast and enjoy some quality time…
8. Buy her flowers.
It’s as simple as that. Without any reason, without any hidden agendas. It doesn’t have to be the biggest and most expensive 50$ bouquet from the florist; a few pretty lilies, callas or tea roses, also have a big impact on her – it’s all about the gesture.
9. Organize a romantic dinner at home.
�
Photos: sellen; targovcom / iStock Photo
Cook her favorite dish (in worst case get it delivered), cool a bottle of your favorite wine, decorate the table and dim the light. She will be touched, especially when you turn on your song the moment she comes home.
10.Don’t forget about the simple things in life!
�
6. Do something for the first time with her. This could be kite surfing, bungee jumping or learning a new language. Create memories together you can look back on.
At the end of the day it’s not about the big occasions, to kneel before her with a diamond ring or letting it rain rose petals, when she leaves the house. It’s the little things that will show her how much she actually means to you. Little post-its with lovely notes hidden in her wallet or folder. Come home with her favorite chocolate, when you do grocery shopping on a Saturday – even if she didn’t write it on the grocery list. Hold her hand while you go for a walk – just because to show her, that you are happy having her by your side.

A text message is so much more than only the replacement of a love letter. Nowadays you can time exactly when the receiver gets your SMS, WhatsApp message and what not. This allows you a new way of communication: sexting. As every other flirting technique the so-called sexting is an art of its own, that you have to master. Yet attention should be paid to three things:
1.
Timing and dosage have to be right and the message has to make her curious, let enough space for her own fantasy, though. Who comes straight to the point and tells directly his perceptions, runs the risk to suffer a rebuff straightaway.
2
First steps into sexting: Making a compliment is a good entry point. It doesn’t matter whether it’s for her hair, her style or something else. In this way you show her, that you are really interested and you don’t risk giving the impression to be egocentric, if you write about yourself.

When you already have spent a night with her, make her think of it. With this you are already a step ahead. Now it’s important to finish this conversation with a question she has to answer to.
3.
The initiation phase: In the first phase it’s especially important to find the right amount of how often you should text her. When you’ll answer her messages immediately she will think you are too needy. That’s why you should play hard to get every now and then. But watch out: You still need to make sure you constantly stay in touch with her and keep it rolling – you haven’t reached your goal, yet!
4.
The increasing phase: After a while it should be clear that it boils down to sex, so you can increase the frequency. Now comes the defining period: You have to make her curious of what you want without telling too much. That’s how you’ll keep her interested. Little hints will help you – in short: Activate her inner cinema! When she has no concrete imaginations on her mind you can create some. Her desire to experience this will grow. But even in this phase always keep in mind: Timing and dosage is everything! When her phone vibrates all the time she’ll rather be stressed than aroused. Give her some space to titillate her fantasy.
5.
Last round: When her inner cinema is activated and she signals you she is ready, you have the chance to plant the last images in her mind. It’s important that she’ll play a role in them. She doesn’t want to passively imagine porn in her mind’s eye, but to take part in it. This is going to make her want to experience this scenery with you. This is the moment your messages should get indecent and more direct. You want to have sex with her, not cuddle with her while watching DVDs. With all your directness you should never forget, that she’s still a lady – that’s why you need to behave like a gentleman, as well. The art of seduction is to give hints and make her get crazy over you - she needs to start to crave for you!

MISSION E

Fascinated and rooted to the ground, that’s how the visitors of the 2015 car show IAA in Frankfurt must have felt, as they witnessed the debut of the Porsche Mission E, Porsche‘s very first all-electric sports car. The concept study has been working on the „Porsche Mission E“ since last December and it is to be expected to hit the market at the end of this decade to, of course, take over the pole position, at least as of right now.

To quote Uwe Hueck, Chairman of the General Works Council and Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board for the Porsche AG: „... With todays decision Porsche is heading with full speed and no speed limit towards the automobiles and industrial future.“ He shall be right because the Porsche Mission E is already winning in every category. Design, power, range, charging time and looks, are simply an innovation par excellence. Porsche is opening a total new chapter with the Mission E in the history of sports cars. But let’s start from the beginning even if that seems not as easy as you would think, since everything is new, brilliant and futuristic. He will definitely have four

doors, but what’s so special about that? Pretty simple Porsche decided that it was time for the B-pillar to retire and it will be replaced with the colloquially known as „Suicide-Doors“, meaning two opposed moving doors. This new feature will guarantee a smooth and comfortable access not just for the driver, but also for the passengers in the rear seats. Speaking of passenger’s - each passenger will have its own single seat, which guarantees a perfect seating experience and the optimum side support, which you‘ll need whenever the driver is taking full advantage of the Porsche Mission E‘s 600HP. In less than 3,5 seconds the Mission E will take you past the 100km/h mark and in less than 12 seconds up to 200
km/h. This is made possible by two permanent-energized synchronous motors, which speed up the sports car and while breaking they win energy back. Another plus factor, compared to other electronically controlled cars, are the batteries, which will bring their full capacity even with repeated accelerations at short intervals. He so managed to finish the Nordschleife of the Nuerburgring in less than 8 minutes – very impressive. As we all know every battery has its limits, the Porsche Mission E‘s will still allow you to enjoy a ride for about 500 kilometers before they need to be charged up again. Which takes us to the next innovation.
Porsche is the very first manufacturer to put an 800 volt drive on the market. The recharge time, up to 80% of battery capacity and additional 400km range, takes just 15 minutes!!! How is that possible? It‘s all about doubling the voltage. This results shorter charging times, while reducing weight through lighter copper cables with reduced cross-section. In case there is no 800V available the Porsche Mission E can easily be plugged into a common 400-Volt-Station or it can be inductively charged in your garage. Inductive? Yes, you heard right. By means of an embedded soil, the Mission E only has to be parked above

and the energy is transferred wirelessly to the batteries located in the floor of the car. Smart TVs in our home are no longer an innovation these days, but a car that can be operated by eye and gesture control? Holograms intuitively align automatically to the drivers seating position? That is new and once again: innovative. From head to toe a fascinating design. The 130 centimeters low height sports limousine comes as standard with „21“inch in the front and „22“inch wheels in the back. Distinctive air inlets and outlets characterize the front, while the sides and the rear are completely featured with the Mission E‘s flowthrough design. This is supposed to improve both, the efficiency and the performance, because integrated air guides improve the airflow around the wheels and the outlets around the sides decrease overpressure in the wheels and the related lift. Something that will immediately get your attention are the Mission E‘s missing side mirrors, those were replaced with small cameras in the flanks. Similar to the side mirrors, the cameras project a current picture into the corners of the windshield, with this feature the driver will always have a good look on what’s going on behind him. In addition safety information can be displayed. Due to the missing transmission tunnel the Mission E is more spacious, the interior seems bigger, cleaner and more airy.
The Mission E‘s display and operating concept will provide a brand new structure as well, quiet in line with the motto: intuitive, fast and distraction-free. Porsche: „ created for tomorrows sports car.“ The driver‘s display is curved, flat and freestanding, OLED technology provides the driver with five circular instruments in the illustrated combination instrument. An eye tracking system recognizes accurately, via cameras, which instrument the driver is looking at. But wait - we are not done yet. As mentioned earlier the display has what is known as a parallax effect, so therefor the display follows the seat position and attitude of the drivers’ body. For some reason Porsche managed to display driving pleasure. So let’s say you are in a good mood, a camera on the inside mirror will recognize your good mood and show it with an Emoticon on the OLED- round instrument. This smiley including a lot more features can be shared on your social media. So let’s go ahead and take a selfie of you and your passengers in the Mission E. Just as the combination instruments the instrument panel has a whole lot of new things to offer. Holographic displays with three-dimensional sensation of depth and apps that will have you and your passenger control media, climate and navigation all of that will be controlled by gestures. Reaching is choosing and pulling is steering.
Porsche Mission E - a tribute to tomorrow!

The world we know is full of secrets and mysterious acts we shall never know about. Someone who‘s not a fan of living in the dark and simply loves to be the center of attention is the new BMW M2 Coupé. This way-out high-capacity sports car will definitely leave everybody else behind! You would assume living the life of being the BMW M4‘s little brother is like living in somebody else’s shadow, but not for the new BMW M2 Coupé! With broad shoulders, a big bag full of confidence along with his stylish attitude he‘s ready to face every challenge that‘ll come his way - be it the enjoyment of driving, the power, the appearance and his proficiency. With his turbocharging he even managed to beat the E90 BMW M3, which had a V8 under his hood at his time. With a tare weight of 1570kg the M2 is only 20kg lighter than his bigger brother the BMW M4 - not quiet the featherweight at a glance! But with his clearly smaller wheelbase (-12cm), the M2 Coupé definitely knows how to shine when it comes to agility, which absolutely pays off when you take him for a ride on a twisting road. During his „Dynamic-Phase“ the driver can pretty much relax and enjoy the ride because it can’t get too dangerous with the M2 Coupé, thanks to the ESP, which also engages while driving the Sport+ Mode.

Coupé is not just all show and no substance, alcantara is your magic word and will immediately get your attention once you open the M2‘s door and get a first glance at the center console. Blue contrast stitching and the typical M imprint on selected details underline the athletic ambience and the rare quality. But don’t forget about the sports seats, the M shift knob and the M sports steering wheel, however if that’s still not enough athletic appearance and drive, the M2 is also available with an optional M DKG as a „stick shift“. That of course means you will have to give up some of the driving fun, the BMW M2 Coupé stick shift will then use 8,5 liter instead
of 7,9 liter and will need 4,5 seconds to get from 0 to 100 and not as mentioned before 4,3 seconds. It is pretty interesting to see that the M2 double clutch transmission is classified in the CO2 efficiency class „E“ while on the other hand the M2 stick shift falls into class „F“. So, this one is for those who don’t want to feel the athletic drive only, but also want to visualize it: GoPro: The number one feature for every action fan! No matter where you go on helmets, parachutes, cars or bikes - you can see them everywhere! So BMW is giving all those GoPro fans the opportunity to control all the cameras attached to your M2 through the control display. That way you can easily control your pictures and videos with the i-Drive controller, the camera can be turned on and off via Wi-Fi and everything can be easily configured. The purchase of the new BMW M2 Coupé is starting at a price of 56.700,00 Euro (M DKG Drivelogic: 60.600,00 Euro).

The new BMW M2 Coupé delivers a brilliant performance over the entire spectrum. The high-performance six-cylinder in-line engine will give you the well known M-type feeling and comes with 370HP which can be conducted by the seven gear double- clutch transmission (M DKG). Launch Control accelerates the M2 Coupé from 0 to 100 in only 4,3 seconds which also applies to power delivery. Peak torque of 465 Nm can be increased to as much as 500 Nm in short bursts under over boost. Unfortunately the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. Due to its M DKG transmission the BMW M2 Coupé fuel consumption of just 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers emphasize its outstanding efficiency. The new BMW M2 Coupé knows how to raise the bar through out the whole sports car segment when it comes to driving dynamics, the little one can easily keep up with the already known BMW M3 and BMW M4 models and their lightweight aluminum front and rear axles. The electronically controlled M differential, which optimizes traction and driving stability, plays a big role here, as well. But wait the M2 is not just winning you over with his achievement potential, his looks are definitely no secret either. The front apron has the typical big air inlet, muscular edges, a double pipe exhaust system and the BMW M2 Coupé is soled with 19-inch aluminum wheels with the M double spokes design. The BMW M2

MOST EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY SCIENCE
There is probably nothing you can’t look up in the World Wide Web, especially when it comes to embarrassing questions, most people prefer asking Google than their friends or family… We decided to pick out a few of those kinds of questions for you!
WHY DO WE PREFER SMELLING OUR OWN FARTS?
BRUSHED MY TEETH, BUT I STILL HAVE BAD BREATH, WHY?
WHY DO WE FEEL HUNGOVER?
WHY DO WE GET WARTS?
CAN I PEE IN THE OCEAN?
AND WHAT ABOUT IN THE POOL?

WHY DO WE PREFER SMELLING OUR OWN FARTS? Nothing is worse, than the smell of a fart, well we need to rephrase that sentence - nothing is worse, than the smell of someone else‘s fart! This is not an illusion it is absolutely human! It is scientifically proven, that the bad smell is to blame on the unique bacteria of each person. So according to that we don‘t have much of a problem, when we cut a fart ourselves since it‘s, drastically said, our own smell anyway. When it comes to others our brain is trying to detect that smell as something harmful and justifiably so since these kinds of gases actually are able to spread diseases. But just in case you just can‘t hold it in any longer and the bad smell hits the air, grab a match, light it and blow it off right away, it neutralizes the bad smell! BRUSHED MY TEETH, BUT I STILL HAVE BAD BREATH, WHY? Sometimes it seems like brushing your teeth just isn‘t enough, the smell and the taste only disappear temporarily and after a while it feels like you had never brushed your teeth before! No wonder, since the actual bad breath doesn‘t come out of your mouth it rather comes out of your throat and your tongue. The reason why this smell springs up is simple – less access to oxygen! Most of the time this tends to happen, when you are on certain medications, you use alcohol-based mouthwashes or most commonly sit with your mouth shut for too long. All these circumstances lead to an emission of sulfur compounds which smell can make you pass out right away! But as you guys know problems always come along with solutions! In this case you can neutralize the smell by drinking more water and eating oxygen-rich food, like celery or parsley!

CAN I PEE IN THE OCEAN? Does peeing in the ocean count as pollution? Well, even if it doesn‘t sound very nice, still the answer is: No! Urine consists of 95 percent water, chloride ions (table salt) and some sodium, things the ocean contains anyway. The only thing oceans don‘t produce by themselves is urea, but according to scientists, the nitrogen in urea produces ammonium as soon as it enters the ocean water and the result of it is that this compound actually acts as food for ocean plant life. Well done! Even if we are not asking you to let loose in the ocean, you can still call yourself an ocean hero!
AND WHAT ABOUT IN THE POOL? Did you hear of that one rumor, too? Not too long ago a lot of people were scared to pee in chlorinated pools, since they were told if they do so it would create toxic chemicals called cyanogen chloride, which is similar to tear gas. The fact of the mater is that this assertion of no little concern is simply not true, because if it would had been true you‘d probably be more concerned with your melting skin. It‘s absolutely safe to urinate in a pool but it’s just common sense not to do so since no one wants to swim in your pee. And by the way – water only smells like chlorine, when someone peed in there before – so if you smell chlorine be sure you aren‘t the first one! WHY DOES COFFEE MAKE YOUR TUMMY HURT? So every good morning starts with a nice coffee, right? Unfortunately not everybody can say so! Apparently around 50 percent of coffee drinkers get the runs right after a few sips of their morning java. This is due to the muscle contractions, which are stimulated by coffee. So if you are a coffee junkie just make sure you stay close to a restroom! WHY DO WE GET WARTS?
Here we go:
1 2
Alcohol boosts your body’s dehydration.
By drinking our favorite cocktails we raise the production of stomach acids but at the same time we cause our bodies to slow down the rate at which the stomach empties itself and that’s exactly the reason why we get the urge to vomit.
3
On top of the dehydration and the nausea your head doesn’t feel as good as before either and that‘s because of the blood vessels starting to dilate which causes a hell of a headache, as well. So, summarizing you tell me how we are supposed to feel after all that action going on in our bodies? Not that great, huh? Now you’ve got two options, drink less or make sure you take some painkillers (e.g. aspirin) before you hit your bed!
ENTERTAINMENT
Warts in general are caused by HPV (the human papilloma virus), which leads to simple infections. The variety of the human papilloma virus counts over 100 types. The range goes from highly contagious kinds, which cause genital warts, to the less contagious kinds causing common warts on the hands or fingers. As soon as this annoying virus hits the outer layer of your skin, most of the time through a scratch or a cut, it causes a growth of cells on the outer layer and that’s the reason how warts occur. Unfortunately there is no solution for this - you are pretty much screwed! Just kidding, just go and see a doctor as soon as possible! WHY DO WE FEEL HUNGOVER? Everybody loves to party hard but seriously nobody likes to be hangover the day after. So the reason why we feel so sick the day after is pretty much self-explaining. We simply drink too much alcohol that’s for sure… But that isn‘t the main reason why we get punished like that.

At the beginning the actual idea of beards was a completely different story. I’ve seen a picture of Reinhold Messner in which he looked a lot like a Yeti. Immediately I’ve noticed the lighting and the rough contrasts of the picture, which was favorable for the beard and was something that I wanted to try out, as well! I changed my working routine from working with harsh flashlight to taking photos with daylight only! I simply used the low light that shined into my studio through the window blinds. That was something completely different, compared to my usual hard flash. I was my own model and I started to frown to get more wrinkles for the contrast. That wasn’t too hard with my 48 years, though. I had the first picture on point right away!
The idea was good, the light was great and the photo type in Sepia benefited the clearness of the beard. A really good idea – and from that point, on a project was born, as well! From time to time I approached men with beards and invited them to my studio over a period of six months. For a few of them, it was even the first time in front of a camera! Their excitement came from my excitement – the result was a photo series. A sort of soup, that resulted from a bunch of good ingredients. Simply the art of B·ART.

The Jungle Book “The Jungle Book” already made it on the screens with several editions. But this time Disney prepared a real filming for you. Disney has already shown us with the “Jungle Book” cartoon, that they know how to handle the story! Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man) and based on the timeless stories by Rudyard Kipling, the new edition is sensitive, but made with humor, though. Mowgli, played by the newcomer Neel Sethi, is raised by a wolf pack, because his parents fell victim to the tiger Shir Khan. When he no longer feels welcome in the jungle, due to the tiger, he decides to go on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way he meets the bear Baloo, the panther Bagheera and the monkey king King Louie, as well as the python Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson).

„Anti“ World Tour
EVENT TIP
After the release of her eighth studio album “Anti” at the beginning of this year, Rihanna also pronounced her “Anti World Tour” 2016. The tour has 70 stations in North America and Europe and starts in the USA, on the 26th of February. She shares the stage with The Weeknd and Rapper Big Sean. The eight-time Grammy winner is the most successful digital artist of all times with 210 million digital sold tracks. She sold 54 million albums and 13 songs even reached the first place of the charts. Further she’s a successful businesswoman, creates fashion collections and perfumes. In 2012 she also was playing a minor role in the action film “Battleship”. The same year she was chosen as “best artist of the decade” by the Billboard Magazine – please note, she received this title even before Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. The 28 year old Rihanna was discovered by rapper and producer Jay-Z, who offered her a contract in 2003. In 2005 she released her first album “Music of the Sun” with which she climbed to the top of the charts. Later she also worked together with Eminem and Justin Timberlake. With the time she became more and more independent and brought personal influences into her music. After a few turbulent years it became a little bit calmer around the singer lately. But now she is back all the more – stronger and with much more power. You have to hurry up, if you want to get one of the desired tickets.
