The capital of Croatia is a great city to enjoy and walk around. It is flat, green and full of coffees and restaurants. Visiting Zagreb is getting to know a bit more about the Croatians. The capital is a great portrait of how Croatians like to enjoy life and how they relate to fashion. And of course, how much they are passionate about having a good coffee with friends.
For those traveling to Zagreb by train, the arrival at the capital is very beautiful. As soon as you leave the main station (Glavni Kolodvor), you come across beautiful, flowery lawn with the Arts Pavilion in the background. To the left, the glamorous building of the Hotel Esplanade 5*, confirms that in fact, you arrive at a European capital.
Right in front of the station, you can take a taxi or the famous electric cable car, which is also the best way to get around the city. The blue cable cars are called
From the central station, you can see the towers of the cathedral right in front of you. And it is in this direction that you must go to reach the center of the city. Pass by the yellow building of the Art Pavillion, and if there is some nice exhibition, do not miss the chance to visit it. Continue in the same direction, just following the "green path", full of gardens and flowers – of course, if it's summer!
You will reach the green square of Zrinjevac with a fountain and a gazebo in the center. During the summer and spring, several concerts and events take place in this square. During the Advent season, the period before Christmas, this is also one of the main points, full of food stalls, crafts, and souvenirs.
Continue for another block and you will reach Ban Jelačić Square, the main square of Zagreb and the country. Yes, that's where everything happens! Shows open to the public, New Year's countdown, Christmas markets, organic fairs, book fairs, handicraft fairs and much more. In the right corner, there is a large tourist information center. So if you are looking for maps to explore the city alone, recommendations for restaurants, bars, or accommodation, it is worth checking out.
If you continue towards the cathedral, you will go through the mockup of the city and through several souvenir shops. If you are looking for a magnet of your trip, this is a good stop. Soon you will arrive in front of the beautiful Zagreb Cathedral. The cathedral is the highest building in the country and will always be. This is because it is against the law to build any building higher than this building. The entrance of the cathedral is very rich with details, so is worth it taking a close look. Inside you will be impressed by the size and height of the cathedral. The Gothic style building is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and the kings St. Stephen and St. Ladislaus.
MarzitoTip: If you are looking for a nice postcard, inside the cathedral you can buy the very beautiful ones, inspired by the stained glass of the church.
There is a whole new world, at the bottom of the market. Just follow the stairs around the market. There are several small shops with cheeses, smoked and fresh meats, and several other options.
Continue along Tkalčićeva Street. It is full of cafes, restaurants, bars and some little shops. Tkalčićeva is the main street in the center of Zagreb. That's where young people gather to watch the World Cup games, enjoy the long summer days and meet for a happy hour.
I recommend trying the beers from the Brewery Mali Medo (Pivnica Mali Medo). They have several choices of delicious craft beers and there is even a "beer board" option where you pay 35kn and try 7 different types of beer. They also serve food. The portions are generous as normally in Croatia and, full of meat and onion. If you want to taste a bit more of the typical food, I highly recommend it.
From the Tkalčićeva start climbing. That's right, the center of Zagreb can be divided into Upper Town and Lower Town. Go through the iron gate with a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. While you climb up, be sure to take a look at the wonderful coats and dresses from Boutique Dora, which has been dressing Croatian women since 1986.
Go from the government square towards the Tower Lotrščak (Kula Lotrščak) that every day, at noon, fires a BUM, which simulates a cannon. It is possible to climb the tower if you wish, but the view right below is also pretty cool. You can see all the main points of Zagreb. Before reaching the foot of the tower, be sure to notice the one and only Museum of Broken Relationships, a super different museum.
Leaving the tower you can start to descend again towards the Lower Town. I suggest you go down the left side because I think one of the most beautiful spots for pictures is right there. Just before the staircase, on the right, you will have a view of the cathedral and a smaller church with Zagreb in the background. This is one of my favorite spots in town.
Going down you will arrive at Radiceva street. This street is super cool because it has some authentic product shops. There are shops of Croatian designers (Nebo). Croatian leather articles. Croatian delicacies like jams, olive oils and other products (Dida Boza). Besides works of art, paintings, sculptures and more.
Arriving again at the main square, Ban Jelačić, if you are in the mood for shopping, go to the right and get lost in Ilica, the longest street in Zagreb. Ilica has several fast fashion shops. When you reach Frankopanska Street, which ends at Ilica, follow it until you reach the National Theater (HNK). If you have more time in the city see which shows are on. And if you can attend, do not miss the chance to visit this wonderful architectural work of 1836. The HNK is a work of two Viennese architects, Ferdinand Fellner and Herman Helmer.
If you decide not to go through Ilica, you can continue towards the Flower Square. The square has in its surroundings several cafes, shops, bookstores, restaurants and even a mini-mall with fast fashion shops. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the Orthodox Church which is right in the center of the Flower Square, it is beautiful.
Eat and Drink Zagreb
Here are some tips from those who live in Zagreb and have experienced a bit of everything in these places.
Right next to the cathedral is Amélie. They have the best desserts in town. I recommend the main cake, Amélie, but the ice creams are also famous. The place is teeny inside, but there is also a terrace in the front which is a delight in the summer.
Just in front of the statue of Nikola Tesla, near the Flower Square, I suggest Burgeraj burgers. They have a small selection on the menu but are quite tasty.
In the same street, Nikola Tesla, there is a fish restaurant that besides being a delight has a super original decoration, Ribice i Tri Točkice bistro.
Still, on the Nikola Tesla street, you will find several nice restaurants. I also suggest the Vinodol, and the Boban, near the Nikola Tesla street, in the pedestrian zone next to the Hotel Dubrovnik.
The Vincek, on Ilica, is very famous for ice cream, but the tip is about Vincek's "sister", Vis a Vis. The place is at the foot of the city's cable car (Uspnjac). And it's specialized in gluten-free desserts, with brown sugar, and only stevia and agave syrup are used as sweeteners. They also usually use only rice and soy milk in the recipes. A good tip for anyone who wants to try something different or for anyone who has food allergies or intolerance.
If you enjoy wine, be sure to visit the Bornstein, in Kaptol, on the street of the Cathedral. They have several choices of delicious national wines.
In Tkalciceva street you will find several options. The already mentioned Mali Medo, with good options of beer and well-served portions. The Agava restaurant is also one of the most recommended and is super well located. If you are looking for restaurants more on the budget search for Skalinska street, which is very close to Tkalciceva. There you will find the Nokturno restaurant, with lots of options. And also La Štruk, which is the best option if you want to taste a typical dish from Zagreb.
Shopping in Zagreb
Of course, it all depends on what you are looking for, but I have made a compilation of tips here for you. This way I believe you can easily find what you are looking for. From souvenirs to renowned brands.
If you are in search of souvenirs the whole Kaptol region is full of little shops. Over there, you will find some cool magnets;
Whether you want to buy clothes, handbags, shoes, makeup or accessories from international brands or fast fashion you will find H&M, MAC, Douglas, and L'Occitane at Flower Square. Other stores like Zara, Springfield, Women's Secret, Adidas, Carpisa, Swarovski, among many others you will find on Ilica Street.
If you are in search of something specific and have more time, Zagreb has several malls, but none of them is in the city center. The large shopping malls are accessible by car or public transportation. The closest is the Avenue Mall and Arena Centar.
Now, if you are looking for more authentic gifts or souvenirs from Zagreb and Croatia, I suggest you look at one of the many shops with local products. I already mentioned: Boutique Dora, Nebo and Dida Boza where you will find different national products. From clothes and accessories to jellies, olive oil, biscuits and etc. It is also worth exploring the shops in Radiceva street, near Tkalciceva, to see if you can find something nice.
Another option is the
In Petrinjska street, parallel to Zrinjevac square/park, there are also some nice options. Petrinjska 7 has pieces by Croatian and Italian designers. Sovilj jewelry, just around the corner with Amruseva street, will make you fall in love with the wonderful pieces of the designer Nenad Sovilj. It is an unforgettable memory of Croatia.
Day trips from Zagreb
The great part of the Zagreb city center can be made by a walk on one day. But if you have more time in the city I would highly recommend these day trips.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
Ístria – Hum, Motovun and truffle hunt
Ístria – Hum, Motovun
Ístria – Hum, Motovun
Trakošćan and Varaždin
Ljubljana and Lake Bled
Ljubljana and Postojna Caves

Wedding Reception Decor Trends
Mix-Matched Centerpieces: One of the biggest trends we've seen is, as opposed to having one flower arrangement on a table, people are doing a variety of smaller bud vases featuring different, single-stemmed flowers. By using a variety of mismatched vases from thrift stores or "Grandma's basement", you'll be able to create the eclectic look you're striving for.
Unique Place Settings: Gone are the days of tables set with perfectly matching dinnerware and glassware. And the same things goes for place settings. But can this mismatched look work for a high-end wedding? Absolutely! The result is an elegant wedding with an "eclectic, refined" feel to it.
Small, Elegant Weddings: There was such a theme of opulence and over-the-top decor and indulgence and it's now shifted to the other side. The current trend is "not minimalist, but it's very elegant and done in a tasteful way. Rather than having 400 people at their wedding, couples are inviting 150 guests and they're serving excellent food and spending a little bit more on the wine.
Vintage Themes: The vintage look is still going strong. It's "really hot" right now, so we can expect to see many more mason jars filled with signature cocktails or simple wildflower arrangements incorporated in reception decor.
Alternative Head Tables: Couples are inviting the members of their wedding party and their dates to sit at a large, double-sided head table in the center of the room. People are sort of getting over the fact that some people might have to see their backs. It's an evening to be sociable, so it's not like you're staring at someone's back all night. It's just during dinner, so that's acceptable.
Ditch The Crystal: If you've been to a wedding within the past couple of years, you've no doubt spotted your share of crystals. They were dripping all over every centerpiece for years and that look is gone. Reception decor these days is a little bit more reasonable and comfortable for everyone.

From John Adams to Charles Adams, 28 October 1798
Quincy Oct 28th 1798
Dear Charles
I received last night your favor of the 19th. The letters from Mr Desdoity & Mr R B Forbes I shall inclose to the Secretary of State, the first to be determined according to law and usage and the last to be considered in its season.
The scene of which you have been witness in the city must have been very solemn. I never could bear a city life in the summer, in the best seasons. Such an one as you have lived through would have finished me. I could not advise you to repeat another time so hazardous an experriment.
I am suspicious that the great intercourse with the West Indies has had a share in producing this calamity in so many of our cities. Relaxations of police & accumulations of putrefaction with the increase of population may account for much but I guess not all. Have not large quantities of cottons and other things been imported which are capable of conveying this plague. We are all well but your Mother, who we hope is better, but still very feeble. Yours I rejoice to hear are all well.
I am Your affectionate
J. Adams

All of us are young, below 30 years and married for less than 2 years.
I'll describe the 2 new couples:
Couple 1: An indonesian couple who've been in Australia for 3 years, but recently moved to Sydney from Melbourne and started joining our church. Married 1 year and 2 months. The wife is a graphic desginer and the husband is an accountant
Couple 2: Aussie-Chinese couple. The guy has been in Australia since he was 3 years old (when his family migrated to Sydney from KL). The wife is an Indonesian Chinese and also been in Australia for most of her life. He's a structural engineer and she's currently studying at uni and working part-time in a childcare centre.
We've only just met them, so not much stories to tell yet. But it's nice to have our circle of friends grow.
(Okay, 4.45PM: Time to start cooking the rice)

Ink collection was originally made as minimalistic sculptures in silver/gold and cube cut smoky quartzes. Lately sculpture has been modified into jewellery piece and immediately became favourite because of amazing dark grey, black or transparent whisky colour of smoky quartz or its darkest part, morion. Morion is much darker then monitor can show.
Now we have new Mirror collection of different colored crystals pendants.

PHILADELPHIA ― If Hillary Clinton wants to win, she would do well to channel the populist message of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
That is the main takeaway of a new survey conducted by Democracy Corps, a Democratic-affiliated polling firm, on behalf of the Roosevelt Institute, a progressive think tank.
Joseph Stiglitz, the Roosevelt Institute's Nobel Prize-winning chief economist, and Stanley Greenberg, founder of Democracy Corps, analyzed the implications of the research at a panel discussion for attendees of the Democratic National Convention and members of the media in downtown Philadelphia on Thursday.
As part of a survey of 900 voters, Democracy Corps tested two different variations of the "stronger together" message of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
One version, which the pollsters called "build on the progress," celebrates the economic gains of the Obama presidency. It proposes policies like infrastructure investment and paid family leave to lock in those gains and ensure they are better distributed.
Another version, which Democracy Corps called "rewrite the rules," portrays an economy that is fundamentally broken and a rigged political system that prevents ordinary American voters from making changes that would improve their lives. Unlike "build on the progress," it insists that ending the "stranglehold of big money on our politics" is effectively a prerequisite for achieving other progressive priorities.
While "rewrite the rules" does not identify itself as the Sanders campaign message, it closely mirrors the Democratic presidential candidate's primary-season pitch to disenchanted voters.
They then compared the performance of the two messages to a "nationalist economic" narrative of the kind being peddled by Donald Trump. The latter message claims that the United States is being ripped off by countries around the world, as well as unauthorized immigrants, and needs a veteran of the business world to look out for American businesses and workers.
Unsurprisingly, millennials, people of color and unmarried women ― all key Democratic constituencies ― strongly preferred both "stronger together" messages over the Trump-like "nationalist economic" one.
But the three groups also favored the "stronger together + rewrite the rules" by a larger margin than the "stronger together + build on progress" message.
Fifty-nine percent of millennials, 67 percent of minority voters and 54 percent of unmarried women viewed the "rewrite the rules" message positively. By contrast, 45 percent of millennials, 53 percent of minorities and 52 percent of unmarried women liked the "build on progress" message.
Clinton's overall margin of victory against Trump jumped 4 percentage points among all the voters surveyed after they were introduced to the "rewrite the rules" message, resulting in a 46 percent to 39 percent win. By contrast, Clinton's margin of victory actually declined by one percentage point after survey participants heard the "build on progress" message, yielding a narrower Clinton win of 43 to 41 percent.
When they say things are not going well, they know what they're talking about. Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize-winning economist
As even Democracy Corps' numbers suggests, there is more than one way to win an election.
But the subtext of Thursday's event is an ongoing fight between the progressive wing of the Democratic party ― exemplified by Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ― and a more business-friendly branch dominated by elite donors.
The progressive wing of the party believes that the rising income inequality and flat median income of the Obama years demonstrated that more dramatic action is needed to make the economy work for ordinary Americans. They tend to reject new trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiated by President Barack Obama; embrace deficit spending; promote policies that strengthen labor unions; and view campaign finance reform as a key component of accomplishing all of those things.
Seventy-one percent of Americans believe the economy is "on the wrong track," according to the Democracy Corps poll.
"When they say things are not going well, they know what they're talking about," Stiglitz said on Thursday, before sharing a series of statistics to substantiate his point.
"The median income of a full-time male worker is lower than it was 42 years ago," he added. "The real wages at the bottom are roughly comparable to where they were 60 years ago."
Regardless of Clinton's political options, Stiglitz, Greenberg and many progressives in the audience expressed a hope that she will pursue a more populist path to the White House, which they believe will create the political rationale for a progressive agenda once she is in office.
Hillary Clinton's campaign argues she has a strong message for these struggling voters. Clinton has promised to sign a bill raising the federal minimum wage to $15, increase Social Security benefits and pass a constitutional amendment repealing the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision.
Clinton even told Sanders supporters that they have a role to play in her campaign and her governing agenda.
"To all of your supporters here and around the country, I've heard you," she said Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention. "Your cause is our cause."
Clinton referenced the progressive Democratic Party platform that her supporters wrote in conjunction with Sanders backers.
"Our country needs your ideas, energy and passion," Clinton added. "That is the only way we can turn our progressive platform into real change for America. We wrote it together ― now let's go out and make it happen together."
Clinton also promised to restore jobs that can provide Americans with decent pay.
"My primary mission as president will be to create more opportunity and more good jobs with rising wages right here in the United States," she said.
But appealing to the business-friendly, educated Republicans and independents turned off by Trump has arguably been a larger theme at this week's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia than promising to "rewrite the rules" of the economy. Convention speakers have included fiscally conservative independents like former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg and former Reagan administration speechwriter Doug Elmets.
Speeches by Obama, vice presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and others were sprinkled with references to Republicans supportive of Clinton's campaign.
After Bloomberg's ripping speech Wednesday night, Reihan Salam, a conservative policy analyst, wrote in Slate that Democrats are increasingly a party that caters to a coalition of socially liberal and fiscally conservative members of the upper middle class, which he nicknamed the "Bloombourgeoisie" for Bloomberg.
"Going forward, one can imagine a battle for the Democratic Party's soul that will pit the Bloombourgeoisie against the Sandernistas with both factions fighting to win over working- and lower-middle-class minority voters," Salam wrote.
As Salam notes, Trump's candidacy appears to have only accelerated an exodus of well-off, highly educated Americans from the Republican Party that was already underway.
Obama won eight out of 10 of the country's wealthiest counties in 2012. And a majority of the top 4 percent of earners ― those making $220,000 or more ― voted for Obama in 2012, marking just the third time that a majority of that cohort did not go for the Republican candidate since 1964.
Obama's electoral victories show Democrats can win nationwide with the help of Bloomberg-style fiscal conservatives, offsetting the shrinking share of the white working-class vote that Democrats now receive.
Greenberg acknowledged that the growing role of ex-Republican, upper-middle-class voters in the Democratic coalition endangers the chances of the party's progressive wing.
"It gets harder and harder to have this battle," he concluded. "That's why we have to have it in this election."

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today is alerting patients about possible problems associated with the quality of mammograms performed at the Ecumed Health Group facility in Hialeah, Fla., over recent years. The facility is located at 687 East 9Th Street.
Women affected by this alert are those who had mammograms at this facility from January 7, 2001, to the present. The facility is no longer performing mammography.
FDA has worked closely with Florida's Bureau of Radiation Control to inspect the facility and develop information about the nature and extent of the problems there. As a result, Florida withdrew the facility's authorization to use the mammography unit and fined the facility for operating the unit without proper state authorization. FDA is also pursuing fines against the facility.
FDA's review of a sample of mammography examinations done by the Ecumed Health Group facility showed that the mammograms were of poor quality and not reliable and the facility did not meet the standards for clinical image quality as required by the FDA. Under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of 1992, the FDA's role is to ensure that all mammography facilities meet certain high quality standards.
While this information does not necessarily mean that the results of all of the examinations were inaccurate, it does mean that patients might need to have mammograms re-evaluated and possibly repeated.
FDA has contacted all physicians' offices known by the agency to have sent mammography patients to the Ecumed Health Group facility and informed them of the problem. Physicians who have not been contacted by FDA but believe that one or more of their patients had a mammogram at this facility during the time period in question can contact Ecumed for further patient information.
FDA is providing the following advice for patients.
Patients who have had a mammogram at another facility since the one taken at Ecumed Health Group should be advised that they do not need to take any action other than to follow the recommendations from the subsequent mammogram.
Patients who had a mammogram at Ecumed Health Group any time after January 7, 2001, and have not had a mammogram at another facility since then, should have their mammogram re-evaluated or repeated. These patients should observe the following guidelines:
* Talk with your doctor as soon as possible about medical follow up.
* If you have a different doctor than the one who referred you to Ecumed Health Group, you should talk to your new doctor as soon as possible.
* Call Ecumed Health Group to arrange for your mammography exam report and x-rays to be given to you.
* If your doctor wants you to have the mammogram repeated it should be done at an MQSA-certified facility. Your doctor may recommend a facility, or you can find a list of MQSA-certified facilities at http://www.fda.gov/CDRH/MAMMOGRAPHY/certified.html
* If you need to schedule a repeat mammogram and your health insurance will not pay for it, you can call the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) information number at 1-800-422-6237. Experts at this number can tell you if there is a facility near you that provides free or low cost mammograms. These experts can also answer questions about breast health and mammograms.

BATMAN & ROBIN Explores Father-Son Dynamic On Way to OWLS
In Batman and Robin, the relationship between Bruce Wayne and his son, Damian, has been at odds ever since the boy first showed up.
After all, Damian has been raised as a killer. And killing is the one line Bruce refuses to cross. The fact that they are not only co-crimefighters, but also father and son, just exacerbates the fact that they see things differently.
Writer Peter Tomasi and penciler Pat Gleason have been exploring those familial differences in the midst of a storyline that involves a new villain named Nobody. And because Bruce's relationship with this new villain goes back to his early days, the story arc has taken a markedly personal turn.
The father-and-son story is resonating with readers, who have made Batman and Robin one of the top-selling DC titles since the company's relaunch in September.
The series is also one of the titles that will be participating in "The Night of the Owls," the Batman crossover that will include Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing, Batman and Robin, Birds of Prey, Catwoman, Batwing and Red Hood and the Outlaws.
Newsarama talked with Tomasi to find out more about the story he's exploring in Batman and Robin, and what readers can expect as the series heads into 2012.
Newsarama: Pete, the last issue, as we learned more about the background of Henri and Morgan Ducard, really highlighted the father-son themes you're exploring with this plotline, particularly the juxtaposition of the Morgan-Henri relationship and the Damian-Bruce relationship. How much did that theme inform the plot and villain in this arc, and will it continue to dominate the comic?
Peter Tomasi: From the get go, Vaneta, I wanted sort of a dueling banjos, so to speak, between what was going on between both sets of fathers and sons. So yes, it informed the first major arc of the series without a doubt.
As I've mentioned, this book, to me, is about the relationship between Bruce and Damian. It's always going to be the 'A' story. The 'B' story will always zero in on how best to push the dramatic boundaries and put them in situations that continue to explore the positive and negatives of their unusual family dynamic.
In regards to the villain, as much as Nobody/Morgan was pissed that Batman Inc. was stepping on his toes overseas, it was really just the catalyst for him to go back to Gotham and take on Bruce for what he perceives to be past transgressions. Faced with the fact that Bruce now had a son, it was only a matter of time before he decided to strike at Bruce's heart for reasons that will come into focus in Batman and Robin #6 next month.
Nrama: I have my theories about the answer to this question, but I'd like to hear your thoughts -- what do the fireflies represent in that final scene in Batman and Robin #4?
Tomasi: Hmm. I'd like to hear your theory, Vaneta, before I let the cat out of the bag.
Nrama: They seem to symbolize a tiny light in the darkness that surrounds him, probably a light within him. And when he squashes one, it's his choice to deny it. What were you thinking when you wrote it?
Tomasi: The fireflies in issue #4, in my mind, represented a lost innocence due to his upbringing. I see Damian as a very self-aware character. Also, I imagined he was referring to Dick Grayson in a subtle way, as someone who has never let the darkness in his life completely envelop him. There's a sense of envy and regret for a life he truly knows will always be just out of his reach simply because of who he is and how he got here. In other words deep stuff for simply squashing a firefly, huh?
Nrama: Yeah, but comics are always better with a little depth. What does Nobody represent to Damian right now?
Tomasi: At this juncture, Nobody represents a type of freedom for Damian. A freedom to connect to one's true self, a way to let the shadows of his soul take flight and stop hiding. Nobody is like the fun uncle without kids of his own who comes over and doesn't put you under a microscope, doesn't question your every move or thought for a few hours — isn't always critical and paternal, not as overbearing as a father who is with you day-in and day-out sometimes is.In other words, Nobody just lets him be.
But an important factor in that mix is that when the "fun uncle" leaves they're happy to be able to close the door and not have to deal with what it really means to be a father, someone who is there through thick and thin, good times and bad.
Nrama: There's quite a bit of irony in the fact that killing is what Damian does best, yet it's the one line that Bruce will not cross. You titled the first arc "Born to Kill," obviously referring to Damian, which we saw highlighted in issue #5 as his drawings were revealed to Bruce. Is this vast difference between them the type of thing that can ever be fixed? I mean, even a lot of fans wonder about Batman's refusal to kill. How will this difference between the characters continue to define the comic?
Tomasi: No matter how you cut it, it's sad when a 10-year-old's major strength seems to be killing. It is what he's best at, but I would like to show over the next year that maybe he can also be good at something else besides spilling blood, that there's more to be mined.
Damian's been programmed from birth to be a killer/warrior, hence the title of the first arc. Some readers have seemed to conveniently forget that fact and think that just because he gets three squares a day in a nice house with nice sheets that the programming he received will suddenly just dissipate overnight or within a year. Damian decapitated someone in his first issue or two when Grant first started on Batman — which I was editing at the time — along with many other moments of extreme violence he's been shown to perpetrate during the last few years. Ask a soldier back from two tours in Iraq or Afghanistan whether he's able to simply shut off the thoughts and terrors of violence once his boots hit the ground at home and get back to living a "regular life."
When it comes to Damian, we're talking about a character who didn't start an indoctrination at 18 while in boot camp, but almost literally right out of the "artificial" womb and has led anything but a regular life. Damian can't simply shut off who he is either. Bruce's ability to help quiet Damian's soul will take time. It's a steep learning curve, but it is one that has a great deal of dramatic potential as both father and son try and reach out to other and do the best they can under stressful conditions.
So to answer your question after blabbing away, yes, the difference in their beliefs will continue to be a factor, but not one that will always be front and center. I intend to show some growth in both of them, especially Damian.
Nrama: Damian chose Shakespeare's most violent (and revenge-inspired) play, Titus Andronicus, as the inspiration for the name he gave the dog. Is that because of the reference to the blood the dog will see, or is there more to it?
Tomasi: Naming Titus did boil down to simply being about the kind of life Damian envisioned the dog being exposed to. I see Damian as having been steeped in not just the killing arts, but also in the classics. Andronicus is Shakespeare's most violent play ( I actually played the role of Titus in a college play — I can still smell the blood soaked tunic that was sticking to my skin as I bandied about the stage — but no worries boys and girls, it was red food dye, Karo Corn syrup, flour and water) and it centers on the destruction of two families who are basically bathed in each others blood by the end.
Nrama: I know Damian left Titus behind in the last issue, but there's something very compelling about a boy and his dog. I get the feeling Damian's urge to kill animals like bats and fireflies will end up being overcome by the companionship of this dog. Am I guessing right? Will the dog come to represent more than just something to annoy Pat Gleason because he has to draw it?
Tomasi: You are guessing right in that regards, Vaneta. Damian and Titus will definitely be growing more attached to each other.Pat's annoyed, really? I thought he liked drawing Titus. Is he yapping behind my back?
Nrama: No, I just figured you were trying to annoy him. But maybe I'll ask him about it.
Tomasi: And a little tidbit for the readers, I originally was going to call the dog Ace, but it was decided that it was best not to drop it in at this point in the New 52.Nrama: As a parent myself, it has been striking to me — as I read Batman and Robin (and this last issue in particular) — how familiar the exchanges between Bruce and Damian feel, despite the extreme circumstances surrounding these two costumed heroes. To achieve this level of realism in their dialogue, are you drawing upon experience as a son? As a father? Or is that just something that comes with knowing these characters?
Tomasi: A combination of those things. Batman's always been my favorite character. He was the first Halloween costume I just had to have, and along with reading thousands of Batman comics and also having been the Batman Group editor, I can't help but feel tapped into them when I'm writing their dialogue — along with Alfred too, actually. I can't wait to do an all Alfred issue later on!
And being a father of a nine-year-old boy, and of course a son myself, it makes it even easier to step into both roles and have a distinct point of view from each perspective. When I'm writing Bruce he's right. When I'm writing Damian he's right. And Alfred, of course, is always right, every second of every day. It makes me happy to hear that the character interaction rings true on the paternal level.
Nrama: Bruce has been portrayed in the past as someone who has a strategy to win every battle. Does he view his differences with Damian as a battle he wants to win? Or is he starting to figure out there's more to it than "right" winning against "wrong?"
Tomasi: Let's face it, if you look at every interaction with your child as a battle that needs to be won or lost you've already lost. Bruce is smarter than that; he's learning as he goes, and he will find ways to connect to Damian as will Damian to Bruce.
Nrama: When will we find out what Bruce is keeping from Damian about Morgan? And is there anything you can tell us about that?
Tomasi: We'll find out what Bruce is keeping from Damian in Batman and Robin #6. There's not much I can say about it; it plays into the book's tone, keeping the personal stuff very grounded. It's not some earth-shattering secret. It's primal. It's real. And it's simple.
Nrama: With the introduction of the New 52 world, much of the characters' history has been eliminated. Yet that clean slate doesn't mean the characters have no past. How have you approached the chance to really explore the "new, rewritten" past of these characters, and how important is their past to the current storyline?
Tomasi: I wouldn't necessarily say that the history has been eliminated. There's been no edict passed down that says everything is dust. I think readers shouldn't get hung up on what's come before but look forward to what's heading their way. The past is prologue. Whether it's 75 years ago or five years ago. The mythology of Batman is all there to be played with in whatever way we see fit. All we need to do is make it fresh and new for readers if we decide to pull elements from the past.I approached the Ducard character with that in mind, writing him as if he was new, so that anybody picking up the book now didn't need to have any previous knowledge of the character or feel lost. I took a cool character and riffed on it by adding that he had a son and wife which I felt added a new dimension to his back-story and thereby his character, while in the process enriching my current story with a parallel story from Bruce's past that has reverberations in the here and now. That's what all writers have been doing since these icons have been introduced, adding another layer to the superstructure that's hopefully sound and pliable for the present and the future.
Nrama: We got a bit of Morgan's back-story as Bruce recorded a message to Damian, and some other books have highlighted new elements of the New 52 past. Will we see more of Batman and Robin's past revealed in the coming issues?Tomasi: As much as I'll be trying to add new elements, I'll also be looking at other ways I can riff on what's come before. I'm not going to put myself in a box when there's such a rich history to draw from if need be. If something from the past can help make a story better or if I can find a way to make it work organically, then I'm all for it.
Nrama: As you've continued your collaborative relationship with Pat Gleason, what has he brought to Batman and Robin since its relaunch?
Tomasi: Not much really, except I guess he's brought what I feel is some of the damn coolest looking Batman stories in a long time. When this arc is over I believe people will see just what a true talent he really is. As I've said before, his character work along with the way he's been playing tonally with blacks and choosing angles and compositions have been stupendous. I consider myself very lucky to have Patrick as a partner in crime on this series.
Nrama: There's certainly been plenty of action in this book, but the main plot revolves around relationships. How has Pat stepped up to meet the challenges of this type of relationship-focused comic?
Tomasi: I think like most artists, he gets better and better the more he draws, but if you look back on our run together on Green Lantern Corps, he was hitting home runs with all the character inter-relationships, even for the ones who were aliens. He always managed to wring the emotion out of a scene exactly as I saw it, and then took it to even greater highs on too many occasions to count.
Here on Batman and Robin, I think he's upped his game. All the personal stuff between Bruce And Damian in costume and out is great, and don't get me started on his Alfred scenes. Look through the issues, really see how he plays the emotions out — it's heartfelt and real.
I'd be remiss not to mention Mick Gray and John Kalisz, who are also part of the team, too. They're bringing so much to the book that it makes my head spin.
Nrama: What's coming up in issues #5, #6 and #7 as this storyline wraps up?
Tomasi: Actually, the storyline wraps up completely in #8. The remaining issues of the story are high-octane action with our characters put into some pretty compromising situations that will have ramifications as the series goes on.Other than that I don't wanna spoil too much. I do think people will look back at this first arc and see how integral it was to the Batman uber-story in the months to come.
Nrama: Before the first issue was released, you promised even more new villains. What kind of things can we expect in the future of Batman and Robin? What can we expect from Batman and Robin as it continues in 2012?
Tomasi: Starting in issue #10, I'll be keeping that promise with a whole bunch of cool and weird ass new villains. I'm a man of my word, damn it! Regarding the future, well, there's something so crazy coming up in a few months that it'll melt your eyes in your head once it gets announced!
Nrama: How is Batman and Robin going to be tying into the "Night of the Owls" crossover later this year, and what role in particular does Damian take in the conflict with the Court of Owls?
In Batman and Robin #9 we tie into Snyder's epic Night of the Owls story with an adventure I came up with that takes us to the outskirts of Gotham. If I ended up saying anything more, it would cause Scott to turn into a Talon and pay me a visit in the wee small hours of the morning. I just saw the cover by Pat today and it's awesome, and all I can say about Damian and the Court of Owls story, is that he has his hands full in issue #9 and leave it at that.
Nrama: Then to finish up, Pete, is there anything else you want to tell readers about Batman and Robin?
Tomasi: A big thanks to all the readers out there who are enjoying the series!

Choose Your File Format Wisely
Here's a quick users guide to some of the most commonly used formats. BMP (bitmap): Developed for Windows® applications, BMP is a common format. Because the BMP format is lossless, it's good for saving pictures that you want to manipulate or enlarge at a later date.
BMP images are recognized by virtually all image editing programs, including Adobe® Photoshop, Adobe PhotoDeluxe, and CorelPhoto-Paint. While bitmap images usually print well if they're large enough, they're usually not recommended for sending images out for professional printing.
Pros: Maintains a great deal of image information
Cons: Produces large to very large files
EPS (encapsulated postscript): EPS is a metafile format that can be used for vector or bitmap images. When you place an EPS image into a document, you can scale it up or down without information loss. This format contains PostScript information and should be used when printing to PostScript output devices. EPS files are excellent for printing, especially for logos and vector line art.
Pros: Delivers consistent printouts
Cons: Produces large files
GIF (graphics interchange format): Designed specifically for compressing computer-drawn images and graphics, GIF files are popular for use on the Web. GIFs can consist of up to 256 colors, although the fewer the colors, the smaller the file. Because of their limited color range, GIFs are not recommended for high-quality printing or archiving, especially since many GIFs are optimized for the Web and therefore have low resolution.
Pros: Is ideal for web pages with small graphics
Cons: Limits spectrum to 256 colors
JPG (joint photographic experts group): JPG (or JPEG) file compression is lossy, which means that you lose detail but gain file compression. JPGs support 24-bit color (16 million colors), but each time you change and save a JPG, you lose a little more detail, which makes JPG a poor choice for archiving. High-resolution JPGs are great for printing, but low-resolution ones, while great for use on the Web, will look blocky and print with less detail.
Pros: Is ideal for large photos, especially on the Web
Cons: Reduces quality with each re-save
TIF (tagged image file format): TIFs (or TIFFs) can be comparatively large files, and the image quality is excellent. Originally developed for the Apple Macintosh, TIFs have
been widely adopted among Windows users as well. TIF files can store any color depth level from 1 to 32 bits and are almost certainly the best format to use if you're going to edit or print an image at a later date. TIFs often provide the most consistent image quality and color definition, which makes them idea for archiving.
Pros: Maintains excellent quality
Cons: Produces large files
In simple terms, your best approach is probably to save originals of your favorite images as TIFs, then work from a JPG copy if you want to manipulate it. Remember to save the final file as a TIF before printing.

The cost of service for Sky Blue Credit is $79 per month ($119/mo. for couples). This is right in line and similar to other services within the industry. But the differences between Sky Blue and other credit repair companies are that they only charge as work is completed and never in advance.The ability to "pay as you go" is an attractive feature that separates Sky Blue Credit from the competition. You can cancel your service at any time and have no further obligation. And don't worry, there are no termination fees or penalties either.
In addition, Sky Blue Credit offers additional services above and beyond simple credit repair.
These include:
In our opinion, Sky Blue is definitely worth the price for the results that they deliver. The pay-as-you-go pricing structure and fast results are attractive features, but the rock-solid guarantee is what really makes the decision a no-brainer. With over 29 years of experience, it's difficult to go wrong with choosing Sky Blue's credit repair service.

Thanks for this review about Sky Blue Credit Repair. We've been trying to secure a mortgage for a home and our credit score isn't quite where it need to be but we're going to give Sky Blue a try based on your review. Thanks for the free information guys!
August 26th, 2018
I wanted to say thank you for your information on these companies. Very informative and helpful for me in my selection. A job well done...
September 18th, 2016
I wanted to see if your company can help me. I only have 4 negative items that needs to be removed. I have been fighting with the companies for almost 2 years now.

This is the best credit repair company out there. Really happy with this.

I actually got denied cell phone service. Talk about an embarrassing day. Clearly, I have pretty bad credit, but it is mostly debt from college. I've never been really negligent with card payments or payments of any kind,
for that matter.
I never thought that a few school loans would affect my ability to change my cell phone provider. Needless to say, I was only qualified for a prepaid month-to-month contract. Not only was I really humiliated, but after chatting my options over with an associated, I also realized that these contracts are more expensive. Thus, my pride and wallet suffered tremendously.
Fearing the worst, I contacted Sky Blue for help, and they've been my biggest advocate ever since. My score as already increased, and I'm thrilled to say that my credit will likely not cause me any more serious inconveniences in the future. I'm hopeful that once my month-to-month billing cycle ends, I can waltz back into the office that denied me cell coverage, and regain a bit of the pride I lost. I appreciate all of sky blue credit's help and support while trying to repair my financial history. I'm a living example that they provide the best service regardless of the severity of the case.

I was humiliated that I had to run to sky blue for credit repair help, but they were professional and made me feel like I wasn't alone. It's reassuring to know you aren't the only one struggling.

Sky Blue credit repair provided a payoff schedule that was simple and easy to implement! Nothing makes the process of paying off debt easier than having specific dates and numbers on the calendar. They will also send reminders!

Since buying my first home I've been made very aware of the affects a poor FICO score can have on your life. In the process of purchasing my house, thanks to new laws, I was literally shut out of the market because of my low credit score. Thankfully, I was able to come up with a very large down payment, and that's the only way I was able to purchase my home. After experiencing these difficulties, I knew it was time to do something about my credit score. I know now that my
credit can have a huge affect on tons of things in my life. Based on how difficult it was to purchase my home, I knew it was time to hire Sky Blue Credit repair to help me turn my score around. Since contacting the company, I've not only learned a lot about the
steps I can take to fix my credit, but my score has also jumped 15 points thanks to their expert disputing skills. I know now that if I intend to apply for a job, buy a new house, expand my business or purchase a new car I can do so with
confidence, thanks to Sky Blue!

Providing a great Christmas for three kids is expensive. I got behind on bills, and my credit suffered tremendously. Sky Blue Credit helped me get back on my feet, and I'm truly thankful I turned to them!
July 24th, 2015
Sky Blue's list of licenses put me at ease when hiring them to fight on my behalf. Because I was already fighting credit fraud, I feared being tricked again. Their list of credentials made me feel confident in their services.

When a water intrusion happens, try to determine the source of the
water. If it is coming from a broken pipe inside, the water can
generally be shut off at the main valve. Many contractors offering
emergency services will be on site in 90 minutes or less after a
call-in, but a one- to two-hour response time is within the expected
range. Upon arrival, the technician should be able to provide you with
an estimate, in writing, of the expected costs of extraction and drying.

Since January, AAJA's leadership team has been working tirelessly to answer one question: What does it mean to be a part of AAJA? We know our members are fiercely talented, community-driven journalists who are making an impact in the news industry every day, but our brand needed to better reflect those values. For the past few months we've been working with the creative team at In-House International to redesign our logo and website. Today, we're one step closer to answering that question.
Our new logo was designed to capture three core values:
Impact and Influence
Community epitomizes the connectedness of our organization. Impact embodies the importance of our role in the journalism industry. Forward-thinking reflects the vision and talent within our membership. This redesign reflects the spirit of AAJA -- not only for today, but also for the future. Thanks to a dedicated committee of journalists from all around the world who volunteered their time and expertise to advise us through the process:
Frank Bi (The Verge, AAJA-NY)
Emily Chow (Washington Post, AAJA-DC)
Chiew Chung (ClassDo, AAJA-Asia)
Esther Gim (Mic, AAJA-Michigan)
Nelson Hsu (NBC, AAJA-NY)
Also, a sincere thanks to national staff Justin Seiter for spearheading our rebranding initiative and Patricia Villon for migrating years of content to the new website. Finally, we're grateful for Kathy Chow's leadership, who kept our organization seamlessly running while we overhauled our brand.
This is one of many leaps we'll be taking this year to move AAJA into a modern, digital-first future. Thank you for your continued support of AAJA and our mission. We hope you feel just as proud to be a member of AAJA as we are to serve you as your leadership team.
In unity,
Yvonne Leow
AAJA National President

FMM18 World Cup Day 31
Read from the introduction.
Re-read the third place playoff between Belgium and South Korea.
It's the final day of the tournament and there's one game; the biggest game in world football. Re-read how Portugal and Italy reached the World Cup Final.
World Cup Final: Portugal V Italy
The current European champions take on the four-time winners on a warm, windy day in Moscow. The last three World Cup Finals have required extra time to settle the argument, with the previous two seeing no goals scored in normal time. The Final follows the pattern of the last two, with neither side able to find a goal. Ten minutes into extra time, there's a goal; Portugal's talisman Cristiano Ronaldo puts the European champions twenty minutes away from their first ever World Cup and the completion of a European/World Cup double. Italy go in desperate search of an equaliser and get one with eight minutes to go as Andrea Belotti pulls the Italians level. The seconds and minutes tick away and it's going to penalties, something that the Italians have fond memories of from the 2006 World Cup Final. 120 minutes are on the clock and the referee is checking his watch. Italy have one final chance to win the game without requiring penalties and it falls to Belotti. He scores! In the final minute of extra time! Portuguese players slump to the floor, whilst the Italian team pile on to Belotti as the bench erupts. The game kicks off after fairly lengthy Italian celebrations, but Portugal have no chance to equalise and force penalties. Italy are champions of the world for the fifth time.

The penultimate day of the tournament sees one game; re-read how Belgium and South Korea ended up in the penultimate match.
Third Place Playoff – Belgium V South Korea
Both sides need to pick themselves up after a two-goal Semi Final loss. The Third Placed Playoff is often described as the game that no-one want to be in and for Vincent Kompany, he's only involved for three minutes before injury forces him to leave the field. Belgium shrug off the loss of Kompany and take the lead through Yannick Carrasco with 26 minutes on the clock. Belgium don't add to their lead in the first half, but maintain it going into the break. They double the lead within a minute of the second half kicking off; Carrasco adds his and Belgium's second. The situation is looking desperate for South Korea, but looks to become impossible in the 74th minute when Mousa Dembele adds Belgium's third goal. Thomas Vermaelen is sent off in the 75th minute in another blow to the Belgium defence, but the ten men see out the victory to claim third place.

Re-read the Quarter Final matches for South Korea and Italy.
Semi Final – South Korea V Italy
18th June 2002, Daejeon World Cup Stadium, the Last 16 – South Korea knock out Italy in a controversial match. Now there's a chance for Italy to gain revenge and secure a place in the World Cup Final. For South Korea, there's the chance to appear in their first World Cup Final. Portugal await the victors. There's no slow start to this Semi Final as Seung-Woo Lee puts South Korea into a sixth minute lead. Surely, albeit less controversially, history won't repeat itself? The South Korean lead lasts until the 24th minute, when Andrea Belotti pulls Italy level. The scores stay level until the 38th minute, when a Roberto Gagliardini goal gives Italy the lead. Two minutes before the break, Kyung-Min Ryu is replaced by South Korea due to injury. The second half is less action-packed, with only one further goal being added; Alessio Romagnoli gives Italy a two-goal cushion in the 76th minute. There's no way back for South Korea, especially after Heung-Min Son is dismissed in the 83rd minute.

FMM18 World Cup Day 26
Read from the introduction.
Re-read the Quarter Final matches for Portugal and Belgium.
Semi Final – Portugal V Belgium
The opening Semi Final pits a team full of attacking players in Belgium against a team in Portugal with arguably Europe's best ever player in Cristiano Ronaldo. It's a big game for both nations, with neither having ever reached the final before. Nerves at this stage of the tournament are to be expected and it's a relatively slow start. Danilo Pereira limps off injured for Portugal in the 39th minute, forcing them to make a change. The change instantly results in a goal – Joao Mario breaks the deadlock in the 40th minute to put Portugal into the lead. As the game progresses, Belgium's urgency becomes greater. With ten minutes to go, Ronaldo ensures that the game is wrapped up for Portugal and that they will get the chance to play for the biggest prize in football.
