1.   Stanley Kubrick

3.   Italy

I’ve been in Italy many times. First time I’ve ever been there was in Milan in june 2009. After that we travelled to Lago di Garda in july 2014. Then in november 2016 we went to Napoli and visited Pompeii and Rome. In august 2017 we went to Venice as a part of the trip to France. In june and july 2019 we went on a trip through Italy and visited: Samobor, Vicenza, Gardaland, Milan, Genoa, Santa Margherita Ligure, Marti, Pisa, Pietrabianca, Florence, Elba, Venice and Trieste. Here is the presentation describing the trip.

5.   The Big Lebowski

Directors: Ethan and Joel Coen

Description: Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.

4.   Forrest Gump

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Description: Forrest, a man with low IQ, recounts the early years of his life when he found himself in the middle of key historical events. All he wants now is to be reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Jenny.

3.   A Clockwork Orange

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Description: Alex, a psychopathic delinquent, is imprisoned for murder and rape. In order to reduce his sentence, he volunteers for an experimental therapy conducted by the government, but it goes wrong.

I really love this movie not only because of it’s interesting story but also because of the twist at the end. As we were nearing the end of the movie we could clearly see Alex in a hospital beaten up and unable to move and everybody would think “This is it. This is the end. He got what he deserved.” but he didn’t. He ended up being one of the most powerful people in the country.

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Description: Rick, a washed-out actor, and Cliff, his stunt double, struggle to recapture fame and success in 1960s Los Angeles. Meanwhile, living next door to Rick is Sharon Tate and her husband Roman Polanski.

I love almost all of Quentin’s films but this one is definitely my favourite. I love the meddling of the main characters with famous people like Bruce Lee and Roman Polanski and them changing the history after saving Polanski’s wife, Sharon Tate.

1.   2001: A Space Odyssey

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Description: The Discovery One and its revolutionary supercomputer seek a mysterious monolith that first appeared at the dawn of man.

This is definitely my favourite movie of all time. I love everything about this movie. From the story, to the cinematography. I could watched it every day and not get bored.

A few years ago my family and I started setting goals for myself at the beginning of the year and I tried to achieve them during the year.

Here are a few goals I achieved:

1.   I did an aquathlon.  24. september 2017.

2.     Wrote a story.  22. june 2018.

3.     Designed a T-shirt.  10. july 2018.

4.   Did a half marathon.  14. april 2019.

The goals I hope to finish this year:

1.   Ride a mountain bike on the track through the forest Kosutnjak.
2.   Write 20 posts on my WordPress site.

Today almost everyone uses an email, for work or for personal use. This set of rules will hopefully help those who don’t know how to write an email.

1.   Write the email of the recipient or recipients of the email. Besides the “To” you can also put the email address under the “Cc” which means Carbon Copy and “Bcc” which means Blind Carbon Copy. The difference is the recipients put under the “To” have to answer the email while the Cc and Bcc only get the copy of the email and they don’t have to answer it. Bcc can’t be seen by other people who get the email, but the Cc can be seen.

2.   Write the subject. It’s usually just one sentence or a few words explaining the theme of the email. The subject is important because the computer can group emails by the subject and the recipient can see what the sender asks of him before opening the email.

3.   Write the body email. Firstly write the name of the recipient. You can also put the adjective “dear” in front of the name but that isn’t necessary. After the name put a comma and continue writing the email in the next lane. This isn’t a real rule you have to follow but I think it would help. Before you write the email you write what the email is. If you want to ask somebody something you write question or if you want to inform somebody about something you write information or if you want to give somebody a task you write task.

4.   If you want to send a link or an attachment or a photo you can use the icons at the bottom of the email.

 

None of the emails in the post are real.

In my last post I covered the protests in Serbia and how the media didn’t investigate it well and ended up covering just a tiny part of the whole story.    So that brings me to the question, can we trust the media? Can we be sure that what we hear on the news is correct?

Of course not. We can never be sure if the media is lying on purpose because it doesn’t want us to know the truth or if the media didn’t investigate the story they were covering well enough or if the media is telling the truth. But if the topic truly interests us we can always find out the truth. If the events are near you, you can go and check them out and see what is going on with your own eyes. Today the television isn’t the only source of news. A lot of people have a lot of social media and a number of people that are partaking in the events would probably be filming it or live streaming it, so if you don’t want to go personally to the event, but still want to see if the media is lying or telling the truth you can simply check that out.

What I’m trying to say is that whether the media is telling the truth or is knowingly or unknowingly lying that shouldn’t stop you from finding out the truth.

Form july 8th 2020 until july 16th 2020 people have been protesting on the streets of Serbia’s capital city Belgrade. An international television Deutsche Welle sent a reporter that didn’t have much knowledge on the topic and reported an unfinished story, so I just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.

The protestors are protesting against the government and the president because they aren’t happy with the voting results and believe that the president mitigated the quarantine because it was the time of the year for voting and he didn’t want to reschedule it. I personally don’t think that that is true and that he mitigated the quarantine because the number if Covid-19 cases was decreasing and the strict quarantine wasn’t needed anymore, but now after the protest the numbers of Covid-19 cases has greatly increased.

In an interview with Deutsche Welle the reporter didn’t cover the story to the whole extend and ended up reporting just a tiny part, but in the second interview he explained the situation much better with a lot more detail.
