SVI SU MU OKRENULI LEĐA KADA JE OSTAO BEZ PARA! Ispovest Saše Matića o DŽEJU – Mislio je da će ZAVRŠITI U KUTIJI! Evo ko je sa ESTRADE ostao uz NJEGA

Dok je Džej Ramadanovski imao para, svi su imali. Kada mu je nestalo para, nestalo je i drugara, kaže u emotivnoj ispovesti za Informer pevač Saša Matić.

On se sa legendarnim kolegom družio od 1995. godine i pamti ga kao galantnog čoveka koji je svima hteo da pomogne i svakog da počasti.

– Džej je bio velikodušan. Kada je on imao para, imali su svi: prijatelji, neprijatelji, tekstopisci, konobari, muzičari, ali i obični prolaznici. Ko god mu je sa ulice nešto tražio, bio je dobar bar 100 evra. Ali na kraju, kada je ostao bez para, ostao je i bez drugara. Uz njega su ostali samo pravi prijatelji, a to su Rule, Mića Softić, Žika Bugarčić, Andrijana, Mina Kostić i njen bivši muž Tika, Vanesa Šokčić, Aco Pejović, Aca Lukas i Željko Samardžić. Svi oni, uključujući i mene, želeli su mu dobro – započinje Matić emotivnu priču o velikom prijateljstvu sa Ramadanovskim.

Izdržavao druge

Saša kaže da je nekada legendarni pevač umeo da potroši basnoslovne sume novca na ljude koje voli.

– Pored njega nije bilo šanse da bilo ko plati ceh. Pogotovo kada je zbog posla bio celog leta u Crnoj Gori. Nisi mogao da ga častiš ni kafom, a kamoli nečim većim – priseća se Matić, koji tvrdi da je Džej na more vodio sa sobom između 20 i 50 ljudi.

Svima je davao novac za smeštaj, hranu, džeparac!

– Tih meseci ih je on izdržavao. U hotelu “Velžon” u Budvi, gde je odsedao, ljudi su se samo smenjivali. Jedna grupa dođe na sedam dana, pa onda stigne druga… I sve na njegov račun. Cehovi su mu na kraju bili između 40.000 i 50.000 evra. Koliko sam se samo puta borio sa njim da platim, ali ne vredi. Kaže on: “Ne, ti si brat, prijatelji i naš gost.”

Matić se trudio da se oduži Džeju kada stignu u Beograd, pa je zato organizovao druženja po restoranima:

– Konobarima prethodno kažem da ni slučajno ne uzmu pare od Džeja. Jer ja znam njegove fore. On kao ode do toaleta, a u stvari plati račun.

Neku kintu bi Ramadanovski uvek gurnuo i u džep ćerke Saše Matića.

Obožavao je decu, a i deca su volela njega.

– Kad god sretne Aleksandru, izvadi i da joj 100-200 evra – kroz osmeh kaže Matić, prisećajući se jedne anegdote sa njim:

– Krenuo sam sa porodicom na letovanje u Hrvatsku, pa smo se zaustavili u Banjaluci da ručamo. Baš u tom restoranu Džej je prethodne noći imao nastup, pa je došao da nas vidi. Čim je ušao, počeo je usnama da svira trubu i da đuska. Prišao je mojoj ćerki i rekao: “Aleksandra, dođi ‘vamo da te čika Džej nauči kako da kradeš novčanike po plažama.”

Šibicarenje

Umeo je da zabavi decu svojim forama sa šibicarenjem. Četvorogodišnjoj Aleksandri je to bilo veoma zanimljivo:

– Prvi put joj je dopustio da provali gde je šibica, pa joj je dao 50 evra. Drugi put je pita: “Je l’ vidiš šibicu?” Ona viče: “Ne”, i govori mu da joj ponovo pokaže. A Džej će njoj: “Hoćeš da nastaviš da se kockaš? Pa traži od ćaleta 50 evra.” Mi smo popadali sa stolica od smeha. Ulepšao nam je dan. Bio je genije. Takav se više neće roditi.

Jedva je pevao, nije mogao do daha da dođe

Matić kaže da je Džej poslednjih godina bio loše:

– Zbog zdravstvenih problema nije imao nastupa koliko bi trebalo, s obzirom na to da je imao toliko hitova da je mogao da pravi dva koncerta dnevno. Teško mu je bilo da peva jer je nekada jedva dolazio do daha. Pre godinu dana je mojim muzičarima pokazao rez od operacije srčanih zalizaka, koju je imao u Beču. Rekli su mi da je ožiljak baš veliki. Da se nije tada operisao, odavno bi nas napustio.

Govorio mi je: Završiću u kutiji

Folk pevač kaže da je Džej uvek mislio da će neslavno završiti život.

– Stalno je ponavljao: “Počeo sam u kartonskoj kutiji, i završiću u kartonskoj kutiji.” Kao da je hteo da to tako bude.

Po dva dana je bio u kafani

Saša se priseća da je Džej toliko voleo kafanu da je tamo umeo da bude po dva dana.

– Bio sam kod Fute u studiju, da mi nareže na CD pesmu “Poklonite mi nju za rođendan”, kad mi je zazvonio telefon. Bivši dečko Mine Kostić Tika zove me i kaže: “Dođi u ‘Cezar’, tu sam sa Džejom i Sinanom Sakićem.” Dođem ja, pustim im da čuju pesmu, a Džej će: “Moraš onaj deo ‘Znam da loša je i neverna’ malo ciganski da otpevaš, malo da ga zavučeš.” Sat vremena iza ponoći, Tika i ja smo otišli, a oni su ostali. Sutradan me opet zove Tika: “Zovu te Džeki i Sinan na ručak.” Pitam ga kada su se sinoć razišli, a on meni kaže: “Šta razišli, ostali su ovde cele noći”. Eto, vidite koliko se davao prijateljima, ljudima…

Smuvao odbojkašicu

Matić ističe da je jedina Džejova neprežaljena ljubav jedna odbojkašica, Petra.

– Posle Nade najviše je patio za njom. Mnogo ju je voleo. Nakon razvoda počeo je sa njom da se zabavlja, a kada su se razišli, bilo mu je strašno teško. Stalno nam se u društvu žalio, nije prestajao da priča o njoj.

Ćero, ko je od nas Cigana završio faks?

Matić je ispričao kako je Ramadanovski reagovao kada je saznao da se njegova ćerka Ana upisala na fakultet.

– Sedimo mi i kaže Džej: “Moram da ti saopštim tužnu vest. Ana mi je upisala fakultet. Rekao sam joj: ‘Ćero, ko je od nas Cigana završio fakultet? Pa nemoj da me malerišeš.'”

Džej: Marina, lavice, je l’ pišeš pesme ili deliš savete?

Saša otkriva da je Marina Tucaković pokušala da utiče na Džeja da se malo smiri, ali da nije uspela u tome.

– Jednom je Džej došao kod Marine u euforičnom stanju, a ona mu je rekla: “Daj bre, Džeki, stani malo na loptu. Sredi se, počni da snimaš album, radi na pesmama, na sebi, smršaj, smanji gas…” A on će njoj: “Alo, lavice, jesi li ti tu da pišeš pesme ili da deliš savete?” Bio je beskrajno duhovit i inteligentan. Nekada je koristio ulični žargon, ali to je samo njemu pristajalo. Bio je rečit i brzo je mislio. 

I Đura Jakšić je bio pijanac ko Džej

Saša kaže da je njegov prijatelj zaslužio da bude sahranjen u Aleji zaslužnih građana na Novom groblju, bez obzira na to što će biti onih kojima se ta ideja neće svideti.

– Sada će biti onih koji će reći bio je ovakav ili onakav, ali čekajte! Šta je bio Đura Jakšić? Pesnik, ali i pijanac i boem! Išao je od kafane do kafane po Skadarliji. Kao i mnogi pesnici, glumci… Ali oni nisu zbog toga loši ljudi. Oni su iza sebe ostavili dela, kao i Džej. Ostavio je pesme koje će sutra moji unuci slušati.

Džejevi UNUCI saznali za dedinu smrt: Starijeg Adrijana nisu mogli da smire od PLAČA

Unuci Džeja Ramadanovskog, Adrijan i Daris, saznali su za smrt svog dede, koji je preminuo u nedelju, 6. decembra, u svom stanu na Dorćolu.

“Saznali su unuci za Džejevu smrt. Šta da vam kažem? Toliko mi je teško o tome da pričam. Ovo je veoma bolna tema za mene, osećam se nikako. Stariji unuk Adrijan je plakao kad je čuo, nisu mogli da ga smire. Mlađi Daris nije svestan šta se dešava. Sve je nekako mogao, ali bez unuka nije. Sa njima je najviše i bio tokom ove izolacije. Divan deka, divan čovek. Šta reći o tako jednoj veličini”, kaže Mina Kostić.

Adrijan i Daris su sinovi Džejeve starije ćerke Ane i njenog supruga, pevača Adila Maksutovića.

Džej Ramadanovski biće sahranjen u petak, 11. decembra, u 14:30 sati, u Aleji zaslužnih građana na Novom groblju u Beogradu.

Sahrana će biti obavljena po muslimanskim običajima, a prema Džejevoj poslednjoj želji on će na večni počinak biti ispraćen uz zvuke 50 violina, i uz svoju pesmu “Nedelja”.

Kim Kardashian hits the hot tub in a leather bikini

Kim Kardashian never met a teeny bikini she didn’t like.

The fashion and beauty mogul, 40, has sported her fair share of bathing suits — from terrycloth to latex and more — and her latest is a green leather two-piece by Monno.

Kardashian wore the croc-embossed “Argent” top ($45) and matching thong bottom ($45) while posing in a hot tub while on vacation with her family.

“Always find your light!,” she captioned the sexy snaps.

“I am dying,” sister Khloé Kardashian commented.

“Look who finally got her jacuzzi,” another fan wrote — referring to a hilarious viral clip from an interview with Architectural Digest, in which Kardashian said she never uses her home pool because it lacks a hot tub.

Clearly, KKW can now relax in style.

What pandemic? Kim shared the racy images to her Twitter and Instagram Monday morning, days after the family arrived back to LA

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Break Silence On Report They’re Planning To ‘Compete’ With Queen’s Ceremony

The British royal family doesn’t often respond to salacious tabloid stories about them, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry included. But the couple, who stepped down from their senior royal family roles last spring, made a rare statement yesterday after The Sun and Daily Mail (notably, the two tabloids the couple are suing) alleged that they were planning to create their own “woke” awards ceremony that would “compete” with the Queen’s honors list.

The Queen does a birthday honors list each year that awards achievements to people across the UK; she can grant people knighthood or other various titles including MBEs (Member Of The Most Excellent Order Of The British Empire), OBEs (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) and CBEs (Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire). You can read more about the various honors the Queen can give at the royals’ site here.

The Sun claimed the couple “filed papers” in the U.S., stating they want to celebrate “charitable service, education, science, literature, racial justice, gender equity, environmental stewardship, youth empowerment, health and mental health” through their new Archewell non-profit.

The couple did not let those false reports stand long. A press secretary for Archewell released a statement to media outlets, stating, “We look forward to sharing more about Archewell’s work in the weeks ahead but any suggestion that it is intended to rival the UK honours list is false. Furthermore, the trademark application has followed the normal course of business for the U.S. Trademark process and any suggestion otherwise is also false.”

Meghan and Harry have not formally launched Archewell yet, in part due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But they launched its site in October. A source told ELLE.com at the time that “while Archewell hasn’t already had a formal launch, it is still already all of their work—the structure, the events, the research they’re doing, the people that they’re meeting. All of the effort they are putting in is within that umbrella. Over time, it is going to grow and grow.”

Ceo svoj vek proveo je u bolu, na kraju ga je srce i izdalo: TRI TRAGEDIJE koje su Džeju UNIŠTILE život!

Slavni folker često je isticao koliko ga je bolelo što je rastao bez majke, u mladosti je ostao bez velikog oslonca na ulici kada mu je nestao brat Iso, a najviše ga je pogodila smrt devojke koja mu je bila tiha patnja.

Folk pevač Džej Ramadanovski, koji je preminuo je u 57. godini od posledica srčanog udara, imao je težak život, koji su obeležile tri velike tragedije.

Često je govorio o tome koliko ga je bolelo detinjstvo i odrastanje bez roditelja, zatim ubistvo brata Isa, kog nikada nije preboleo, dok je pre šest godina ostao bez prelepe Dubravke, koju je mnogo voleo.

Majka ga nikad nije obišla u domu

Džej je rođen 29. maja 1964. u velikoj porodici, koja vodi poreklo iz Makedonije. Otac mu se zvao Mazlam, a majka, koja je bila radnica u “Gradskom zelenilu” Barija Ramadanovski. Džej je kao jedino muško dete detinjstvo proveo na Dorćolu. Nakon razvoda roditelja živeo je sa bakom, a pošto je bio sklon maloletničkoj delinkvenciji sve do punoletstva bio je po domovima za vaspitavanje.

– Uveče, kad legnem, kroz glavu mi prolaze razne slike iz prošlosti. Često sanjam popravni dom. Za sve vreme mog boravka tamo majka me nijednom nije posetila, dolazio je samo otac – ispričao je Džej u emisiji “Balkanskom ulicom” i dodao:

– Majka je brinula o mojim sestrama, a otac o meni. Često zaplačem zbog toga. U mojoj grupi u domu je bilo 12 problematičnih dečaka. Više puta smo išli na razgovor sa psihologom, to je bilo obavezno. Od cele te grupe samo smo nas četvorica uspeli u životu, osnovali smo porodice i počeli smo da radimo. Ostali su nastavljali da menjaju domove i ko zna kako su završili.

U domu je izučio i auto-lakirerski zanat, a nakon toga dobio je posao. Ipak, ovo ga nije dugo držalo, pa se vratio sitnom kriminalu. Po napuštanju doma, pevač je popravio odnos sa majkom, ali ga je ceo život tištalo to što je rastao bez nje.

– Jedan od najlepših trenutaka u životu mi je prvi veliki koncert na Tašmajdanu 1991. Tada sam dobio najlepši aplauz u životu, a posebno sam se raznežio kada se moja majka popela na binu i poklonila mi buket – govorio je Ramadanovski.

Brata mu uzidali u temelje benzinske pumpe

Jedna od najvećih životnih tragedija mu je gubitak brata od tetke, poznatog dorćolskog dona Isa Lera Džambe, koji se družio sa Giškom, bio i Kneletov prijatelj i dobar sa pevačima i glumcima. Kako se pričalo, Džamba je napisao Džeju veliki hit “Uspeo sam u životu”, i to dok je bio u zatvoru.

Džamba je nestao pre 27 godina i skoro tri decenije se smatra mrtvim iako njegovo telo nikada nije pronađeno. Poslednji put viđen je u ranim jutarnjim časovima ispred kockarnice “London” na uglu Kneza Miloša i Kralja Milana, posle tuče na šestom spratu Beograđanke.

Kobnog jutra 23. septembra 1992. Iso je navodno pripit došao u kockarnicu na šestom spratu “Beograđanke”, koju je tada obezbeđivala agencija “Delije”, a čiji je vlasnik bio Arkan. Već na izlazu iz lifta Džamba se, navodno, sukobio sa žestokim vratarima. Nije hteo da plati ulaznicu, a posle kraće prepirke je pljunuo sliku komandanta Srpske dobrovoljačke garde. Kao po komandi, momci iz obezbeđenja pretukli su Isu. Snežana Lero, Isina supruga, tužila je kasnije sudu četvoricu Arkanovih ljudi koji su, tvrdi ona, pretukli i u nepoznatom pravcu odvezli njenog Džambu. Još se na ulici prepričava da je gomila Arkanovih “Tigrova”, među kojima su bili Vuksan, Šuca i Gojak, pretukla do smrti Džambu rukama, nogama i kundacima pušaka, strpala ga u gepek i odvezla u Erdut, gde ga je uzidala u temelje Pejine benzinske pumpe.

Kako su tvrdili upućeni u obračune iz devedesetih, istorija sukoba između Džambe i Arkana potiče još iz Kazneno-popravnog doma za maloletnike u Valjevu. Jedina poznata tuča koju je Arkan imao u životu navodno je bila upravo sa Džambom, koji je tada pobedio u duelu, ostavivši Arkanu ožiljak na licu. Priča se da mu Arkan to nije zaboravio.

Smrt lepe Dude ga je slomila!

Džej je pre šest godina doživeo tragediju, kada je u 44. godini preminula prelepa Dubravka, u koju je, navodno, godinama bio zaljubljen. Ona je pre više od 20 godina glumila u njegovom spotu “Gde ću sad, moja ružo”. Lepa crnka s kosim očima mnoge je ostavljala bez daha, a kada je folker saznao za njenu smrt, bio je veoma potresen i nije mogao da veruje da je više nema.

– Nekoliko dana pre toga pričao je o njoj s prijateljem i rekao kako bi baš voleo da je vidi, te da je ubeđen da bi ga i sada svojom lepotom ostavila bez daha. I evo šta se desilo. Danima mu je teško zbog nje i svako malo zaplače. Čak je i popio lek za smirenje kada je čuo da je iznenada preminula. Dubravka je vreme kada su snimali spot bila jedna od najlepših devojaka u gradu i u Džejovom srcu je imala posebno mesto – rekao je tada izvor i naglasio:

– Bio je dugo zaljubljen u nju, kao i gotovo svi momci Dorćola, ali nikada nije rekao da je među njima bilo nešto više od prijateljstva.

Baš zbog toga Dubravka je imala posebno mesto u njegovom srcu, ostali su veliki prijatelji iako su poslednjih godina izgubili kontakt.

– Nisam mogao da verujem kada sam čuo! Evo i sad mi dođe da zaplačem. Otišla je lepa Duda. Bila je mnogo dobra žena, poštena i ovo je stvarno velika šteta. Da je bog dao bar još malo da živi. I sada se ježim kada dok pričam o njoj. Krivo mi je mnogo što se nismo videli, a poslednje vreme sam često pomišljao na nju. Kao da je to bio neki znak. Neka joj bog dušu prosti, šta drugo mogu da kažem sada kada je više nema – rekao je proslavljeni folker tada.

Will Airlines Require Vaccine Passports in 2021?

  • The International Air Transport Association is in the final stages of developing a digital COVID-19 vaccine passport for travelers.
  • Most airlines have yet to announce if they’ll require passengers to show proof of getting the vaccine.
  • Travelers should expect to continue wearing masks and social distancing on flights, even after getting immunized.

After grinding to a near halt during the pandemic, travel is poised to make a major comeback in 2021, once the COVID-19 vaccine becomes widely distributed.

Governments and airlines may begin requiring travelers to get the immunization and prove it with a new form of digital documentation called a vaccine passport.

Here’s what we know so far about the forthcoming vaccine passport, along with some expert insight on what to expect when traveling next year.

New document for travel

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), an airline trade association that represents 290 airlines worldwide, announced on Nov. 23 that it was in the final stages of developing a digital vaccine passport for travelers.

Dubbed the IATA Travel Pass, the digital health document will provide travelers with a way to get a certification of things like their vaccination status and COVID-19 test results from medical facilities and share that information with airlines and border authorities.

Travelers would carry their certified COVID-19 health information via a new contactless app from the IATA.

Alan Joyce, the chief executive officer of the Australian airline Qantas, has told journalists that he thinks getting vaccinated against COVID-19 (and likely proving they had the immunization) will be a necessity before getting on a flight.

Other airlines are still mum about possible requirements on their flights, but experts say that travelers should expect to show proof of immunization once the vaccine becomes available to most people in the United States, likely next spring.

“Airlines don’t want to be accused of serving as vectors for the virus in passengers on board,” said Dr. Robert Quigley, senior vice president and global medical director of International SOS, a health and security services firm, and MedAire, which offers training, medical equipment, and other services for flight crew and passengers.

“It’s all about protecting against the transmission of the disease and not bringing it into areas that aren’t infected,” he added.

So far, experts like Quigley believe that the vaccine passport will mainly apply to international trips, rather than domestic journeys, but travelers should keep an eye out for announcements from airlines over the coming months to ensure they have the right documentation for upcoming flights.

Travelers should also stay up to date on vaccination requirements and other measures destinations may implement on foreign visitors next year.

Proof of vaccination in the past

While the proposed vaccination passport has made headlines over the last couple of weeks, showing proof of immunization at certain borders is nothing new.

The yellow fever vaccine is sometimes required for travelers coming from or going to countries where there’s a risk of that disease, such as Uganda and Brazil.

Travelers typically show proof of their yellow fever vaccination at borders using the World Health Organization’s “International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis,” a yellow booklet filled out by a physician.

“The yellow booklet for the yellow fever vaccination is sort of an obsolete solution from a time when everything was written on paper,” said Dr. Martin Krsak, an infectious disease specialist with the UCHealth Infectious Disease/Travel (TEAM) Clinic at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

What’s new about the forthcoming vaccination passport is the digitization of the health information, which would offer a more streamlined way for border agents and airlines to vet the growing number of travelers who will likely soon be required to show proof of immunizations at many more places around the world.

Precautions during travel

Just because you get the COVID-19 vaccine doesn’t mean you won’t have to follow other precautions that have become common when traveling during the pandemic.

“There will be continued efforts by airlines, airports, and the travel industry as a whole to focus on hygienic best practices,” said Quigley. “That’s a good thing, it’s long overdue, and I think it will persist perhaps even forever.”

Travelers should expect to continue wearing masks and social distancing on their journeys over the next year, said Krsak.

They may be exempt from other requirements, such as quarantining at the destination, once they have proof of vaccination, though.

“Essentially the major improvement offered by the vaccination passport would be freer mobility,” he said. “Some particularly strict lockdowns would no longer apply to the carriers of such passports.”

For now, travelers should continue to monitor what’s going on in the industry in regard to the vaccine passports and other requirements.

“It’s still very fluid and we don’t know what’s going to happen with regard to these passports,” said Quigley. “They’re strongly encouraged in the industry, and that initial notice by the IATA is the first indication that something is going to change in the industry.”

14 Weird Alexa Skills You Should Enable Right Now

It’s time to explore the stranger side of Amazon’s smart assistant with these weird Alexa skills.

Alexa Skills bring all kinds of extra abilities to Amazon’s smart voice assistant.

They can open up a whole new world of uses for the company’s Echo devices. And because it’s relatively easy to create new skills, developers aren’t shy about having fun with the technology. Alongside more serious efforts, there are some truly weird Alexa Skills available to try.

Here’s a selection of the weirdest Alexa Skills you can enable right now.

1. Chewbacca Chat

Say “Alexa, open Chewbacca Chat.”

This unofficial Star Wars skill brings the dulcet tones of everyone’s favorite Wookie to your Amazon voice assistant. Tell it what’s on your mind, and it will respond with some of Chewbacca’s best lines (if you can call them that) from the movies.

You can also ask questions, and for some of them Alexa will provide a translation of Chewie’s answer.

You can test your Star Wars knowledge by trying to find the six hidden easter eggs. Say, “Alexa, ask Chewbacca Chat to tell me about the easter eggs” to learn more.

2. Skyrim Very Special Edition

Say, “Alexa, open Skyrim.”

According to Bethesda Games Studios, this is “the version of Skyrim you never saw coming… on the platform you never asked for.” The developer promises the chance to “burn spiders,” “chase butterflies,” and “walk straight up a mountain instead of going around.”

At times, that tongue-in-cheek tone extends to the skill itself, a basic adventure game set in the Skyrim universe. One of the first enemies you may encounter is an “adoring fan” whose attacks consist of unwanted hugs.

Most of the time, however, it plays like other Alexa games you can play on your Echo, with magic, swords, and so on. But that only makes it funnier when you pick up a new sword and the game says “Ooh shiny!”

3. Sad Trombone

Say, “Alexa, play Sad Trombone”

The sad trombone is the well-worn “womp womp” sound effect used in countless movies and TV shows to signify failure. With this Alexa skill, you can summon it at will.

That’s all it does. Not exactly sophisticated but perfect for when someone in your household trips over, drops something, or has some other unexpected but hilarious calamity.

4. Rimshot

Say, “Alexa, open Rimshot.”

close up of drum kit

Apart from loud groans, nothing follows a bad joke quite as well as a rimshot. That’s the classic “badum-tish” drum effect that comes directly after a punchline.

And that’s what this skill does: it plays a sample of that sound effect. Simple and fun for everyone—except those who have to hear your jokes.

5. Random Bane Quote

Say, “Alexa, launch random Bane Quote.”

Are you eager to hear samples of Tom Hardy’s indecipherable mumbling from The Dark Knight Rises? Then good news. This skill offers more than 100 audio snippets of the notorious Batman villain. You can ask for one random quote or several in a row.

6. My Fish Feeder

Say, “Alexa, open My Fish Feeder.”

If you have trouble remembering to feed your fish, this skill is meant for you. Simply ask it whether you’ve fed your fish already, and it will tell you.

What’s weird is that all this skill does is remember a Yes/No state. When it’s feeding time, you need to tell My Fish Feeder “feed my fish”. It then remembers that ready for you to ask about it later in the day.

Extremely simple, but maybe useful if you have a memory like a fish.

7. Roast Me

Say, “Alexa, open Roast Me.”

Roast Me is one of many Alexa Skills that dishes out insults on demand. The target in this case is you.

The jokes aren’t particularly biting or even funny, but it’s a fun distraction for a couple of minutes. After every roast, it will ask if you want more, by demanding you say things like “Bring it on” or “Give me that tough love.”

8. Filter Bubble

Say, “Alexa, open Filter Bubble.”

Nobody likes being told they’re wrong. And with Filter Bubble, that never has to happen.

It’s essentially a virtual yes man. Open it up and then tell it what you believe, about absolutely anything at all (it’s not really listening). Alexa will then respond with a firm affirmation of your views, so you can remain safely in your own personal echo chamber.

“You are so right!”

Yes, we know, thank you very much.

Say, “Alexa, open Fortune Cookie.”

This skill claims to offer thousands of genuine fortune cookie quotes. Among them are such pearls as “Today, your charm will have them singing like birds” and “An empty stomach is not a good political advisor.”

All the faux wisdom without any of the crumbly mess.

10. Lee Neilson

Say, “Alexa, open Lee Neilson.”

The barrier to entry for Alexa Skills developers is extremely low. According to Amazon, you can build a skill in under an hour.

As a result, there are many low-quality, pointless skills in the Alexa Skills store. Lee Neilson is an excellent example of that. However, it’s also quite charming, in its own simplistic way.

Made by the owner of a UK-based web design company, all it does is say “Hello from Lee Neilson.”

Right back at ya, Lee.

11. My Pet Cat

Say, “Alexa, open My Pet Cat.”

Get your own virtual (and invisible) feline with My Pet Cat. First, choose a color for your cat and a name. Then you can feed it, wash it, take it for walks, or let it nap. You can even take it on adventures, running into battles with dogs and other cats.

Over time, your cat can learn new skills, and it will grow and level up as you take care of it.

Best of all, there are no vet bills or fleas.

12. Chuck Norris Fan Facts

Say, “Alexa, open Chuck Norris Fan Facts.”

Did you know Chuck Norris’s phone doesn’t have auto-correct because no one corrects Chuck Norris? That’s just one of the many interesting facts this skill can tell you about Mr. Norris.

Of course, these “facts” are a joke. They’re part of the long-running “Chuck Norris facts” internet phenomenon, which celebrates the supposedly superhuman abilities of the famous martial artist.

With this skill, you can rustle up new Norris facts whenever you want them.

13. Chip Facts

Say, “Alexa, open Chip Facts.”

All this skill does is give you a randomly chosen fact about chips, the national dish of Great Britain.

Sadly, its database of facts seems to be extremely limited, repeating the same facts over and over again. Still, we did learn that “The Americans call chips french fries, but the Belgians call them Belgian fries.”

14. Celery Man

Say, “Alexa, open Celery Man.”

The Celery Man skill will have many people scratching their heads. It accepts commands like “Add sequence oyster” and “Ask Celery Man if I can see a hat wobble,” playing strange sound effects in response.

Nonsense to most folk, but to the right people, this skill makes perfect sense. Celery Man is a bizarre comedy sketch starring Paul Rudd, from the Tim and Eric Awesome Show. Its popularity on YouTube led to Celery Man becoming a meme, like so many things do, and that led to this Alexa Skill.

Why You Should Download These Weird Alexa Skills

None of these weird Alexa Skills are particularly useful. Only My Pet Cat and Skyrim Very Special Edition have any real long-term value, because they save your progress. And the joke skills are amusing but not exactly hilarious. So why bother enabling them?

Simply, they offer some easy throwaway fun, and they’re all completely free. They’re the kind of silly things that are enjoyable to share with others, even if you disable them shortly after.

So give them a try, because you’ve got nothing to lose. And if you want genuinely useful Alexa Skills, there are plenty of those to try as well.

Snimak dva dečaka u Beogradu rasplakao ljude na društvenim mrežama: “MOŽEŠ LI SPAVATI, GRADE?”

Ljudi s margine, oni koji su spas i utehu od životnih brodoloma pronašli na ulici, najstrašnija su slika svakog grada. Na kartonima, sa starim jaknama oko sebe, obično sa činijom ili kutijom u kojoj mole za prilog, ovi ljudi svakodnevno prolaze kroz istu agoniju – da li će imati za hranu. Ono što posebno zaboli svakog čoveka jeste kad se u ovakvom položaju nađu i deca.

Jedna takva slika nastala je krajem novembra u Beogradu.

Video snimak dva maloletna dečaka koji jedva da imaju deset godina, zabeležena je od strane Jasmine Gajić u jednom od podzemnih prolaza u Beogradu. Dečaci koji su ležali na kartonu bili su prekriveni samo starom jaknom u pokušaju da se zgreju pod naletima košave koja je nemilosrdno šibala gradom proteklih dana.

“U Beogradu, jutros. Možeš li spavati, grade?”, napisala je Jasmina u opisu video snimka.

Ove dečake možete svakodnevno videti kako prose po ulicama Beograda. Sledeći put kad naletite na njih, ne okrećite glavu. Topao čaj, toplo pecivo njima znače makar malo topline. Budite ta iskra topline u njihovim očima, makar za mrvu ublažite udarac koji im je život naneo.

OGLASIO SE I ADIL! Pročitajte šta je napisao o pokojnom Džeju: Stari moj…

Pevač Adil Maksutović na društvenim mrežama oprostio se od tasta Džeja Ramadanovskog, koji je preminuo u nedelju, 6. decembra.

– Stari moj, bio si najmuzikalniji čovek kog sam poznavao, pevač sa najviše duše… Dok su drugi plakali ili se veselili uz tvoje pesme, ja sam potpuno opčinjen upijao svaku tvoju otpevanu frazu, magično si to radio… Maznuo sam sve što si mi dozvolio… Hvala ti – napisao je između ostalog.

– Znam da si se umorio, već nedostaješ svima. Tvojoj deci najviše. Raduje nas samo činjenica da si poslednji dan svog života proveo sa porodicom… sa svojim unucima… nismo ni slutili da ti je poslednji.

Adil se zatim, u nastavku objave, osvrnuo na to što sa tastom Džejem godinama nije razgovarao.

– Voljeni Džej, nikada se nismo posvađali, a godinama nismo razgovarali. Oprosti mi što sam predugo bio ljut na tebe. Onaj gore je želeo da se ovako rastanemo. Bar još koju godinu da si poživeo. I da sednemo ti i ja. Da ti zapevam “Sajbiju”. Da se zagrlimo… i isplačemo – napisao je Adil.

Džejev kum Zoran Jagodić Rule je, inače, za domaće medije otkrio da je Džej pred smrt sve oprostio Adilu.

– Džej Ramadanovski oprostio je sve zetu Adilu Maksutoviću pre smrti. On punih sedam godina nije razgovarao sa Adilom, jer je pretukao njegovu ćerku Anu – rekao je on za Informer.
