Selena Macedo:
In Split, there was a murder of Selena Macedo. She was buried on the top
of Marjan which is very strange because Marjan is a sports centre. Our
police caught the murderer. His name is Edo Mišic and all of his
neighbours said that he was calm and kind man but they also said that
lately he had also acted a little bit strangely. They found him due to a
neighbour’s report.
Found body:
A part of body was found on Zenta (a leg) and after that another one (a
body without legs and arms). The man felt the smell and saw it and then
called the police who investigated everything. They think that the part
came from a nearby hospital.
Antonija Bilic:
We are still shocked by the death of Antonija Bilic which happened last
summer. But the killer was found and the body of Antonija Bilic has not
4
yet been found. Killer’s name is Paravinja and, at the moment, he is on a
trial in the court in Šibenik. That event got all Croatia on its feet.
Taking bribes:
The teachers in all colleges and high schools in Croatia took bribes from
the students to let them pass the exams. That is a devastating fact and it
is good that they are caught because who would like to have a doctor
like that?!
Case of Ivo Sanader:
Our ex-prime minister Ivo Sanader has been in court for stealing HYPO
and INA-MOL shares. Up to this point we know he has been sentenced with
7 years in prison. All of his things were confiscated and given for an
auction and sold to re-pay his debts.
The generals on freedom:
The Croatia's most famous news is that our generals are free from jail.
The judges in Hague told that they were innocent and that there was no
sense in continuing this so they were released. From that day Gotovina
and Markac (Croatia’s generals) are considered free men. That day the
5
whole Croatia rose on their feet and said that there will be no more wars
or fights with Serbia, such as Home war, but Serbia did not agree with
that. They think that all of what was happening is just a big fake and
they do not believe it. Right away they rose above the law and start
asking for some entrusted files from the judges. Serbs will not be satisfied
but the main thing is that the justice was complete. Right away in Croatia
celebrations were organized. Gotovina said that, as soon as he can, he
will visit some sanctuaries.

CROATIAN CELEBRETIES
Jelena Rozga's first big concert was held at the Spaladium Arena on the
11th of February 2011. Her style was very similar to the one she had on
previous 3 concerts. A mini dress and high heels. She changed her clothes
3 times and all the dresses were about the same lenght. During her
concert, Jelena called her friend Severina. Please keep in mind that
Severina had a similar dress, a mini dress and high heels. It is certain
that this is the idea Croatia's young population have about clothing.
On Monday night at the election for Mister and Miss of Croatia, Maja Šuput
sang dressed in a corset which she also wore in Vodice at the cmc
festival. The singer appeared on stage in a corset and Fendi high heel
shoes.
At the promotion of a new album by Josko Čagalj (Jackel) Jole in Zagreb,
his colleague in showbiz Maja Šuput appeared in an identical corset worn
by former Miss World’s first runner Anica Kovač. It is certain that the
stars in showbiz are so up the clouds that heir style has become boring
from the amount of times seen.

The Hobbit: The Dissolution of Smaug
Why the Hobbit?
"The Hobbit" is considered to be one of the best books written by
J.R.R.Tolkien. Created in the tradition of a fairy tale, with author's effort
to integrate two interests, stories for his three sons and mythology of
England, the book has had a corner in hearts of many readers since it
was first published in September 1937. Being Tolkien's first published
work, „The Hobbit" is often marketed as a prelude to his masterpiece
„The Lord of the Rings", published 17 years later. The book's plot and
characters reflect the author's thoughts about the complexity of human
being."The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is coming on December
13th, 2013. In the movie, there are so many actors like Sir Ian McKellen,
Christopher Lee, Benedict Cumberbatch and so on. I can't wait to watch
12
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug in the cinema on December 13th,
2013. Feel free to join me if you wish!

Rise of the guardians
This movie talks about THE GUARDIANS: Sandy guy, Jack Frost, Tooth
Fairy, Easter Bunny, North (Santa Claus) who protect the children from
evil (Nightmare).
13
GOOD SIDES BAD SIDES
It's amusing cause of its funny
and silly animations.
It's scary and bad in some parts.
It's very magical and it can
encompass our imagination.
It's sad when they kill the hero
of the story (Sandy guy).
But he comes alive at the end of
the movie and saves everybody.
And all of the kids again believe
in guardians.
Evil of the movie (Nightmare)
trapped all the kids in the
nightmares and took all of the
guardian’s powers.
Sandy guy: He's the oldest guardian. He talks through the signs on
the top of his head. He is the ruler of the sand which makes you
have nice dreams. He moves by using the clouds.
Jack Frost: He is the youngest guardian. He is the ruler of the frost.
He rules with that by his rod but he can use hands for the powers.
Tooth Fairy: She is in love with Jack Frost. She has a big army of
small fairies who collect teeth from the children and give them a
gift in return.
Easter Bunny: He doesn't like Jack Frost and I think that he's a little
bit jealous on him. He has a factory of the eggs and machines
which decorate the eggs for the Easter.
14
North (Santa Claus): He is very happy and at the same time serious.
He keeps all of the guardians together. His weapons are two swords
and he can jump from one chimney to another.
Nightmare (EVIL): He's bad and the only one who doesn't have
allies. He crushes children's dreams and makes them not believe in
the guardians. He can control the black sand too.

WHERE TO GO, WHAT TO SEE...
London...
London is the capital of England
and UK. It is very important
political and financial centre - so
called ''Global City''. It has one of
the busiest airports in the world-
Heathrow. People speak more
than 300 languages in London.
London sights are: Big Ben,
London Eye, London Bridge,
Backingham palace, Trafalgar
Square, St. Paul’s cathedral and
many more. There are a lot of
different nationalities as well as
rich social and culture life. Lots of
shops are very expensive so if you
are not prepared to spend so
much money, think twice before
going there! However, I think
that it would be a great place to
visit for anyone who has money.

NY...
In the USA, New York is the place
to be. Statue of liberty, Brooklyn
Bridge, Central park and Wall
Street are just some of the things
you need to see. Many people live
in New York - about 8 million.
New York has many different
districts like Manhattan,
Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and
State Island. People are of
different religion. It was founded
in 1925 and back then it was
called New Amsterdam. It has got
over 500 galleries, 150 museums
and about 1700 restaurants. It is
not so good to go to New York
16
now because there was a
hurricane, but in general, as a
famous person once said: ’As for
New York City, it is a place apart.
There is not its match in any
other country in the world.'
Sidney…
Sidney in the second largest city
in Australia.6000 thousand
Croatian people of different ages
live in Sidney. They are organized
in different clubs and churches.
Australia was once settled by
Aborigines. Sidney is financial,
cultural and economic centre of
Australia; in the city we can see
beach culture and culture in
general. Sidney is known for its
large golf courts royal ganders
and also for the Opera house.
Generally is a very interesting city
and I would recommended it to
every tourist.
