“Twitter and journalists”

Having in mind that there are not so many Twitter users in Serbia, we wanted to bridge the gap between this social network and as many people as possible, to show them in what ways this service can be used. We put special emphasis on Foursquare geo-location service, which is a social network currently on the ground floor in Serbia. I am very pleased with the first Tvitomanija, and whether there will be others alike depends on many factors. The Internet is changing rapidly, and we will adjust ourselves to that, and our forthcoming activities will be directed accordingly.”

We have made the most of the last days of summer by sports gathering at Ada. Alongside great fitness instructors, we have been doing exercises, few of them as a group, few of them individually, and – we had a great time!
In mid-September, with the aim to use the Indian summer in the best possible way, in collaboration with Reebok, we organized Fitness Day at Ada. For this occasion, we turned an open-air part of the Red Shoes Café into a workout space. Reebok fitness instructor Dario Ćirić provided great deal of help, as well as another fitness instructor, Dragana Momić, and we did group exercises and individual exercises with requisites. Our Fitness Day gathered, among others, Reebok promoters Katarina Vučetić and Marina Kotevski, and Reebok Easy Tone Ambassador Daniela Grahovac.
For three years the face of Reebok Katarina Vučetić has been practicing yoga, and for her it feels good to join the workout with the standard group she is used to. However, she enjoys running alone, and she believes that in a gym it is always better to have individual workout. With great pleasure, she joined our “fitness gathering”. “One can always get valuable pieces of advice from people from Reebok and expert associates from your magazine, I always hear, I mean read, something that I have not known before. I am a sports type and I will always gladly accept to be a part of an event like this.”
Reebok Ambassador and TV presenter Marina Kotevski goes to the gym for individual workout on a regular basis, in order to keep fit. “I have to confess that during summer I have made a pause in exercising, because I do not enjoy physical activities when temperatures are high. That is why this Fitness Day comes as an excellent warming up. We hope to have the Indian summer, and thus I want to send a message to all ladies to use every nice day for workout outside, because when rainy days come – the gym will be there waiting for us.”
We were all impressed by moves by a fitness instructor Dragana Momić, who presented a choreography with her girls from Body Fit Studio. It was a combination of step aerobics, fit boxing on a stepper, Latino and zumba. “Step aerobics is what I recommend as the best way of doing exercises, because it involves muscles in the entire body. Furthermore, it is good for regulating your body weight. Also, I think it is nice to do exercises in a group, with music, and with a charismatic instructor. This group energy must carry everyone”, Dragana told us.
As a part of Dragana Momić’s Body Fit Studio there is also a children’s group. According to the studio owner, children do aerobe type of exercises, corrective gymnastics and stretching exercises. Above all, children should be inspired to take to sports, so that workout habits remain with them later. Step aerobics can start from the age of seven, because at that age children are able to remember the steps.
This is very important, because this type of exercises involves the brain, and steps should be memorized. Children who master this skill, later can get into dancing, without any problem. Also, stretching is a great workout for muscles and prepares the body for potential involvement in any other sport later, because it diminishes possibilities to suffer from muscle injuries.
"Pošalji recept", magazine with the biggest circulation in Serbia, published by the Color Press Group has relaunched a project "Housewife of the month" - it will take place each first Sunday of the month at "Jastog" restaurant in Novi Sad. Industrious housewives were competing in preparation of salty and sweet rolls, and these were tasted by TV presenter Nataša Ilić, CPG CEO Robert Čoban, magazine edior Ženja Aćimović and her assistant Dragana Cetina. The third-placed housewife was won subscription to the "Lepota i zdravlje" magazine, second-placed Valentina Đorđević received a luxurious cookery book from a publishing house "Prometej", and the title "Housewife of the month" went to Ljiljana Čegar who will spend seven days at villa "Jana" at Kopaonik Mountain.
Participants of this contest visited the Institution for children and youth with special needs in Veternik, where they made friends with toddlers, flipping through magazines and chatting about their former gatherings.
„Kućni ljubimac“ magazine organized a Pet Party at “Red Shoes” café on Ada, to proclaim “the pet of the year”. Out of forty dogs whose applications had been submitted to the contest, ten reached the final in four categories, namely: Yorkshire Terrier Miško, Labrador Arči, Bologneser Ihu, Shih Tzu Pekinese Rambo, Chihuahua Čili Pepers Gonzales, Gold Retriever Alex Lery, puddle Edward, Swiss white shepherd Grof, St. Hubert Skubi and mixed breed dog Joca.
The best tandem, an owner and a dog, was proclaimed to be Ivana Tasić and her Labrador Arči, the most photogenic dogs were Joca and Rambo, and the pet title was granted to Alex Lery, whose owner is Aleksandra Gradov.
Taking into consideration that the only pre-requisite for entering the competition was for a dog to be loved, it is not a surprise that all owners gave their best for their pets to be stylized, whereas the audience gave support by giving generous applause to all the dogs coming out each time.
Contestants received numerous valuable prizes, from “Happy Dog d.o.o.”, “Happy Dog Club”, “Pet Market”, “Biomil”, “Leto”, while the owners of the dog of the year were granted a 7-day holiday in “Jana” apartments at Kopaonik.
