The 11th International Photography Festival Organ Vida will be on from September 2 to October 4. It'll be hosted by Zagreb's Museum of Contemporary Art and other city venues.     Liza Ambrossio 'Indigo Child'Organ Vida Festival     About the festival Participating in the festival are 10 specially chosen international photographers, who applied through an open call and were selected by a jury. The international judges were: Christian Siekmeier, Katrina Sluis, Steph Kretowicz, Mirjam Kooiman and Vesna Meštrić. Wondering about the amazing art that'll be on display? Artists and their exhibits include: Liza Ambrossio's Blood Orange, Martha Frieda Friedel's éclat, Marko Gutić Mižimakov's Cruising the Manifold, Disoriented, Zhao Qian's A Field Guide, Oskar Schmidt's Liquid, Samar Al Summary's Trust Beauty Bank, Indrė Urbonaitė's Flamingos, Moonrise and the Slippers, Emilio Vavarella's Amazon's Stravaganza: A Personal Index of Infinite Consumption, Shelli Weiler's Fabulations, and Alba Zari's THE Y.   Martha Frieda Friedel 'éclat'Organ Vida Festival   This year, the festival's theme is Hesitant Images with a focus on an image's materiality and underlying representation. Why "hestitant" images? Because the photography included in the festival is a crossroads of fact and fiction; works are simultaneously fake, unreal, and falsified - but also authentic, due to the very real tensions and contradictions of the modern world's digital culture they work to unravel.     Shellie Weiller 'Me and Madeline'Organ Vida Festival     The main exhibitions by the 10 chosen will be held at the Novi Zagreb district, at the renowned Museum of Contemporary Art. Three site-specific works, also part of the festival, are authored by invited artists Meriem Bennani, Filip Custic and Victoria Sin. Meriem Bennani will present Mission Teens, a work inspired by teen movies and reality shows. Mission Teens presents the everyday life of students who attend Descartes high school, a French high school in Rabat. Bennani delves into contemporary society and questions of identity, cultural differences, gender, and digital technology. Filip Custic's exhibition is crno-bijelo. The Spanish-Croatian artist (born in 1993, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain) intertwines technology and identity in his exhibition, exploring what it means to be human in an increasingly digital society. Custic's works will be presented in two bicolor rooms.     Filip Custic 'Tital del hilo'Organ Vida Festival     Victoria Sin is showing Narrative Reflections on Looking. Sin (born in 1991, Toronto, Canada) dives into the relationships of power and desire. Femininity, Western beauty ideals, and social construction of gender are among themes Sin's exhibition explores.

A fin whale, the second-largest species in the world, has been spotted off the coast of Starigrad in Zadar County. The Blue World Institute announced the amazing sighting, which occurred on Tuesday, on its Facebook profile. The post reads: 'We found a 🐳🐳🐳 !! Thanks to the reports of many of you who joined us in the search for the whale, we can happily conclude that after a whole morning of searching we found it the next day near Starigrad-Paklenica! Unfortunately, the weather was not in our favour as you can see in the photos! The whale was on the very edge of an incoming storm and after a few ascents it plunged right into the storm. During the minute we could see it, we took on the wind, lightning, and rain, wondering if it was worth it! Believe us, it wasn't pleasant, but it was worth it  The whale we saw is an adult animal, and we assume it's 15 or more metres long. We were unable to check its physical condition because we were with it for such a short time. But at first glance, it does not look malnourished. The last report is that the whale is currently near Lukovo Šugarj, but the weather is bad and weather is no joke in the Velebit channel. We are off for now, but we will try to summarize all your alerts, photos, recordings and publish them together with ours soon. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! We invite you to continue to report your observations to us, because with the help of citizens and citizen science, we can more efficiently and easily monitor the appearances of interesting and rare species in the Adriatic, and protect and preserve them!'

Daniel 'DC' Cormier and Stipe Miocic have tremendously concluded their heavyweight trilogy. "TIL I DIE" 🏆🐐 Stipe Miocic is the greatest heavyweight of all-time! #UFC252 pic.twitter.com/m5Xu2mxxsT — UFC (@ufc) August 16, 2020 After five on-the-edge-of-your-seat rounds of brutal back-and-forth blows being dealt and survived, the fight went to decision. Miocic won unanimously. UFC President Dana White echoed the thoughts of many UFC commentators and fans at the post-fight press conference, though, saying, "I had them two to two until the last round". Miocic and DC were already going down in history as two of the best heavyweight fighters of all time - and UFC 252 has only further solidified that for both men. When we have two awesome fighters and overall good, kind people face off inside the octagon it’s so hard not to feel elated for the winner and heartbroken for the one who didn’t get their hand raised. Tonight is no exception. #ufc252 — Megan Olivi (@MeganOlivi) August 16, 2020 The trilogy The men 41-year-old Daniel Cormier was born in Lafayette, Louisiana. He made his octagon debut on May 20, 2012. DC's arm reach is 72.50". His leg reach is 41.50". Prior to UFC 252, DC held 22 wins, two losses, and one no-contest. He is a former Olympic wrestler, Strikeforce heavyweight champion, UFC light heavyweight champion, and UFC heavyweight champion. DC has a 54% striking accuracy, 46% grappling accuracy, and 10 wins by knockout. 37-year-old Stipe Miocic was born in Euclid, Ohio (to Croatian immigrant parents). He made his octagon debut on October 9, 2011. Miocic's arm reach is 80". His leg reach is 39". Prior to UFC 252, Miocic held 19 wins and three losses. He is the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, works as a firefighter-paramedic, and is a former Golden Gloves boxing champion. Miocic has a 52% striking accuracy, 38% grappling accuracy, and 15 wins by knockout. Trilogy Chapter One: UFC 226 UFC 226 was held on July 7, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Referee: Marc Goddard. Arena: T-Mobile Center.  Outcome: DC knocked Miocic out in the first round. Trilogy Chapter Two: UFC 241 UFC 241 was held on August 17, 2019 in Anaheim, California. Referee: Herb Dean. Arena: Honda Center. Outcome: A TKO by Miocic ended the fight in the fourth round.  Breaking down the UFC 252 fight Miocic stands 6'4" and made weight for the trilogy's third chapter at 233 lbs. DC stands 5'11" and made weight at 236 lbs. The opponents battled it out on August 15, 2020 in a smaller, 25-foot octagon - unlike the 30-foot arenas used during the first two chapters of the trilogy. The fight went down in the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It was a no-crowd fight due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. UFC veteran Marc Goddard refereed the fight. Derek Cleary, Sal D’Amato, and Junichiro Kamijo judged. Joe Rogan, Jon Anik, and Dominick Cruz commentated. Round one Miocic starts off strong while taking an eye poke to his left eye, which causes Goddard to temporarily stop the fight. Rogan comments "I firmly believe Stipe would fight if he was blind." Eye pokes result in deducted points for fighters, and it was likely an accident on DC's part. We see a takedown and the former Olympic wrestler DC causes Miocic to briefly hit. In my opinion, DC closes the round on top with a could've-been-a-knockout right hand to his opponent's face - "the exact same punch that won him the title", to echo Rogan. Round two DC and Miocic exchange power shots throughout this round. In the last few seconds, DC is brought to the ground by a series of right hooks from Miocic. Had there been more time, the fight might have ended here. Round three After a minute of recovery time, DC enters the round a bit shaken, but he's still a force. Punches are exchanged on both sides, with Miocic holding a clinch on DC for around a minute. Shortly after, with under 60 seconds left in the round, Miocic badly pokes DC in the eye - but it's not seen/called by Goddard.  Prior to the poke, though, DC's eye appeared to be damaged already. Round four DC's eye is clearly in bad shape (during the break, he's heard saying "I can't see"). Both fighters land strong hits. There continues to be a noticeable lack of attempts to bring wrestling to the fight by DC. DC seems to be staying strong regardless of his eye. He throws a series of legs kicks; which show he has balance and isn't dizzy. At the end of round four, it still appears to be anyone's fight. Round five Miocic and DC both continue to land strong punches.  Midway, Miocic holds another long clinch on DC. Right through the end of the match, it's clear both Miocic and DC gave UFC 252 their all. A unanimous decision in favor of Miocic (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) is brought. Here ya go: Miocic/Cormier scorecard. #UFC252 pic.twitter.com/yv3be0rZIp — Heidi Fang (@HeidiFang) August 16, 2020 Miocic landed 70% (171/244) of his strikes and 62% (115/187) of significant strikes. DC landed 65% (145/223) of his strikes and 57% (105/183) of significant strikes. Find full fight stats here. Our take DC was a force to be reckoned with throughout the fight. He did the most damage to Miocic with some gnarly right overhands. He was careful about body shots, as was evident from his lower guard which differed from UFC 241 - when DC held a high guard and Miocic achieved a technical knockout largely through body shots. During UFC 252, DC took a different approach and protected his body more. DC was a force through his right overhands and mighty uppercuts - but he didn't use his wrestling skills when Miocic did get close.  Miocic was more active than the last time he fought DC during UFC 241. He used more agility and movement to hit and avoid being hit. He showed off his boxing skills and landed strong jabs on DC's head. Miocic attacked with body shots, boxing skills, and clinches and used front jabs to keep distance from DC. Both men got rocked multiple times and ate some nasty punches like the pros that they are. The fight potentially could've gone in different directions - DC knocking Stipe out with one of his right hits - especially the banger from round one, Miocic finishing DC in the second round... But, all in all, with the fight lasting five full rounds, the volume of shots and quality of fighting were overall higher on Miocic's side. I have them at DC winning rounds one and four, and Miocic taking two, three, and five. The fighters showed respect for each other before, during, and after the fight. Some are calling Miocic's not-called eye poke controversial. This isn't the first time fights between the two had eye pokes (with chapter two of their trilogy ending with Miocic getting eye surgery - and Cormier going to the hospital now after chapter three). Dana White commented during the post-fight press conference that "they both got poked in the eye. That eye was hurt before the poke. We got a big group text that goes out and I was like 'There’s something wrong with Cormier’s eye.' And then he got poked after that. That didn’t help. But they both got poked. You can’t use that as an excuse." Eye pokes are detrimental to both fighters - obviously to the one on the receiving end, but also to the other fighter who loses points for it. I think, like the majority of the UFC community, that both DC and Miocic are two of the greatest athletes in the history of the sport - and that they're both good guys outside of the ring, too. A huge congratulations to both of the MMA kings. What's next? What's next for DC? DC has claimed this would be his last fight, but not everyone believes - or wants to believe - that we won't be seeing him kill it in the ring again.  Dana White is among DC retirement non-believers: "The competitor that he is, he's not going out like that. I don't know, that's just, that's my prediction." Following the fight, DC commented, "I'm not interested in fighting for anything but titles and I don't imagine there's gonna be a title in the future, so that'll be it for me", continuing, "I’ve had a long run, it’s been great, I just fought my last fight for a heavyweight championship and it was a pretty good fight." "I'm not interested in fighting for anything but titles and I don't imagine there's gonna be a title in the future, so that'll be it for me."@dc_mma to @joerogan on whether "this is it" for his MMA career after #UFC252 pic.twitter.com/hcYk5GL6dy — ESPN MMA (@espnmma) August 16, 2020 Miocic paid tribute to his opponent post fight, too. What's next for Miocic? Among contenders who hope to face the champion next are Francis 'The Predator' Ngannou and Jon 'Bones' Jones. However, Dana White holds - for now - that "Francis is definitely next. You can't jump over Francis. Francis has been out there destroying everybody", continuing, "It belongs to Francis Ngannou. But yeah, Jon Jones going to heavyweight is very interesting." I think most of us would agree that Bones going to heavyweight would be interesting indeed - especially following the potential Ngannou-Miocic matchup. With the three of these guys in the mix, the future of UFC's heavyweight division looks (as usual) epic. Great performance to both guys 👏 Congrats to Stipe on the performance. See you soon. #NgannouVsStipe2 — Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) August 16, 2020 Come on Jonny, I'm still here 🙋‍♂️#UFC252 https://t.co/kLqCmNpqwc — Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) August 16, 2020 Seat down and wait your turn, I got next. https://t.co/4661B0zNmP — Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) August 16, 2020 How about Miocic vs Ngannou 2 for the last PPV of the year? @danawhite @ufc — Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) August 16, 2020 Miocic might take his time getting back in the ring, though. He closed out his win by saying what he's focusing on in the near future: "I’m gonna go home, hang out with my wife, especially my daughter, go swim in the pool, and just go enjoy life."
