New MacBook 12-inch. Are you excited? I am excited. The review.

   Every time Apple Inc. gives us a hint, that they are going to present smth. new, we are waiting "this new" like nothing else in the world. There are so many companies in the world, that are trying to compete with Apple, but for nothing. By launching this MacBook they will push back those companies for at least 10 years back. But, is it really that important for them to draw that much attention to the stuff that doesn't really matter.

  But, if you want this guy, don't look at the price, just be prepared for abnormal quality and chic. I mean, why would even take into consideration the price, which approximately will be more than 1,000$.

   The design is outstanding, just look at those lines and forms, such a temptation...it's so elegant and beautiful.

  I think when Apple were creating this device, they mostly concentrated on the keyboard and Touch trackpad, they've made it a big deal, that's the total gimmick goes, I would you need those? Maybe Aple is showing off, I mean you are Apple why would you need more?

  So, the Keyboard is full-sized, but very slim, and it's down to the "butterfly mechanism"this thing makes the keyboard stable and responsive.

   The Touch Trackpad reinvented as well. Now it is even more sensitive, you are going to get more precision with it, but the cool and fun thing is that you are going to have a feedback from this Touch Trackpad with your fingertips. You also can adjust the level of sensibility of it. Tell me who needs that? Yes, it's smth. new and fresh, but tell me why would you need this?

   The screen is my favorite part. I love good sharp picture, which can blow your mind and we get it in this new device. The screen is 3 million pixels. We also have a 12-inch Retina display which is 0,88 millimiters! Can you imagine that?! The resolution 2304x1440.

  Also we have a new fifth generation Intel Core M "Broadwell" processor, which is going to help MacBook to work longer. But, do you believe that? By far this is the only downside I can see in Apple technology, they can't make the charge to last, I'm sure everyone agrees, but we'll see... By the way the battery life is up to 9 hours of web-browsing.

  Memory: 8Gb on board memory + 256Gb or 512Gb of flesh storage.

  Portability: USB-C for charging, USB 3 data transfer to connect to external devices and peripheral, video output that supports HDMA, VGA and DisplayPort.

   So, really up to you to decide if it is worth your attention and if you are ready to pay for a absolutely reinvented device.

My 8 years with Nightwish

  First of all let me point out, that there are so many fans who have been much longer with Nightwish, then I am, which is amazing and there's so many of who've been with them since the very beginnging, which is very impressive and...WOW! But, for me 8 years with this band is pretty impressive too. I've listened hundreds of different groups, but this one is beyond comparison. 

  I've found out about this band through my uncle, my father brought the DVD of  their last gig with Tarja Turunen "From Wishes to Eternity". I loved the music and everything, but I couldn't understand a single word(obviously, I'm a Ukrainian, I was too little to know smth. in English). Also, I was afraid to watch that DVD alone, yeah, probably it was too "dark" for me, but I wanted too, so bad, that I started to "train" myself not to afraid, I know this sounds stupid, but I was about 15 years old and I've never listened to THIS kind of music. 

  After I got used to it, the wars about Anette and Tarja were still going on. I actually was crying when'd found about Tarja's leaving, it didn't change anything, but...it took place. Then I started to blame Tuomas, about failure with Anette, I thought it was a failure, I still do...

  I had about the same fillings about Floor, who I insanely Love right now. I want to wright smth. about each of them, might be long.

  Tarja Turunen - beautiful, gentle, talented. I couldn't imagine the band without her at all. She was like a Goddess to me. Her voice..is just...we all know her voice, right? So, no ramble to that. That video, though, when she is crying, while telling about her dismissal...broke my heart.

Annete Olzon - where was Tuomas when they took Anette? I mean, I know he said, that he was not going to take another Tarja, but really? I loved the album "Dark Passion Play" her voice was outstanding, but let's admit that while performing on stage, she couldn't do a half of it... That's where I think Tuo have failed himself and his fans. I was so sorry, about Anette getting all that hatred... it was...she didn't deserve that, so that was too much of an experiment.

Floor Jansen - she is a FIRE! She is like Xena, from "Xena - The Princess Warrior". I can't even express how much I love her, I also think that she is the best thing that have ever happened to this band. I've never heard about her. I didn't like her from the first time, I wont tell the reasons, because they are reidiculous, but now we have a win win situation, at least for me. This album "Endless forms most beautiful" is going to be EPIC! 

Troy Donockley - I love that man, what can I say. He brings Nightwish a bit of an age feeling, in a good way, he completes the band like no one else. He took the place about which no one knew, it's a good sign.

Marco Hietala - the good old mate. He is out of this world. He makes Nightwish Nightwish, you know what I mean? We know, that he took place of Sami Vänskä, but you know...it was deffintely for good, right?

Erno Vuorinen - who doesn't love Emppu? He is such a smile person. He can pull out any sound out of his guitar, always jumping and running all over the stage. Can you imagine, he was 18 years old, when he joined the band?

Jukka Nevalainen- an amazing drummer, there wouldn't be the band without him. He is like a king on a throne, an icing on the cake. It's a shame that he won't be able to be on the tour with the guys, but I hope he will get better soon, so he can join everyone by the next album. And Kai Hahto most welcome to the band.

Tuomas Holopainen - the soul of Nightwish, he is the band. He is the one who made us family, I mean us, fans. I'm really grateful for that, for him, for what he does, it's really emotional for me. He is, the band, that what's important. 

  I've never been on their show before, but I want it so bad, that I can't even express, I hope one day my dream come true and I will come to see my life band, because dreams come true, right? 

Iphone 6, 6+. Does it worth its money?

  Not a long time ago Apple Inc. launched new models of IPhones (to start of). The reviews were very controversial. Especially, when people have found out that the "most prayed" phone bends, but kept buying it (what a devotion). So, today we're going to decide, whether you should buy it or live it for good.

  To begin with buying an Iphone 6 or 6+ is a big investment. But who doesn't want one? Basically, they are the same, they have the same characteristics, except for that Iphone 6 is 6,9 inch and IPhone 6+ 7,1 inch screen. 

  Both of them have Retina display, A8 chip , M8 coprocessor of movement and 64-bit architecture. What I mean is that this phone supposed to be better than the others, it's faster, better holds the charge and takes best pictures.

  

  It's nice and pretty and I'm sure everyone who doesn't have it raves about it, but who does have it either complains or enjoys. But, why would you complain about smth. that was deeply loved by others? I'm not here to talk about it bending, yes it took place, let's get over it, but still when you buy such an expensive thing you, probably want for it to be perfect. 

  An Iphone 6 16Gb costs about 700$, IPone 6 64Gb costs about 800$ IPhone 6 128 costs about 849$.

  An IPhone 6+ 16GB costs 749$, IPhone 6+  64GB costs 849$, IPhone 6+ 128Gb costs 949$.

Of course, everything depends on where you live, whether you buying it with contract or not. And a tip, before you decide to buy it, choose if you want a big screen or more memory, it's really important as you can see from a price range. You have to sacrifice smth, but if you want everything of the best, no need to sacrifice here. Enjoy what you have.

So, as you can see, there is no particular answer, everything depends on you and your preferences, but it's a total YES from me.

Paul Ekman, Ph. D.

   Have you ever been in a situation where you don't understand whether the person you are talking to lies or telling the truth? I totally have.

   To be honest it doesn't depend on a situation, it's only depends on a person you are speaking with. If you know the men or a woman you're speaking to and you absolutely certain that that person 100% honest, that doesn't mean that he/she never lies, conceals or avoids the truth. I feel like to see the lies your mind needs to be "cold" not heart or emotions you supposed to react on certain situations, right?

   I'm not a "face expressionist" expert, but I know a good one, his name is Paul Ekman Ph. D. 

Go to his website, I promise you won't be disappointed: http://www.paulekman.com/  (you can even do some tests to identify emotions). You also should read his books, such as "Telling Lies", it's my favorite one, all of them are based on true stories and examples from world known books, it's easy to read and understand.

  I actually had a situation with one of his "helpers" if I can say so. Basically, I've found out about Mr. Paul Ekman through TV show "Lie To Me" starring Tim Roth as Cal Lightman.

(it's very interesting by the way, you should watch it) and I was so impressed by the idea of "reading people" and I started to look for more information.       After a few days of research I've found the email address, so I wrote...yeah...I feel really ashamed right now. But, still I wrote that I admire him( which is completely true) and I want to work with him...I mean, WHAT??? Who the hell I think I was??? I mean I still want to, won't deny that, but let's be honest, how is that possible? (kind of crashed myself right now). But after that letter I started to get those emails almost everyday, which I'm not complaining about, but it reminds me of my failure. Is that to much of a sad note??? O. K. let's get to my point. What I wanted to say is, that man inspired me to learn more about the whole psychology world, which now I'm really grateful for and his books and all the work he is doing is remarkable and well known all around the world.

   Cuba.

  The one and only Cuba. The island of freedom, passion and love. Havana happened to be the capital as well as the biggest city of this beautiful island.

  Climate is tropical, people are Spanish what else you could wish for? 

  There is so many places for tourists to visit, but everything depends on your preferences.

• enjoy beaches, so many to choose from, just look at this:

  Isn't gorgeous? Just imagine yourself lying on those...Oh, amazing!

• go sightseeing:

Plaza de la Catedral:

  Even if you not a religious person, just go inside and enjoy the atmosphere. The building is outstanding, it's historical value is impeccable. Learn to observe, hear and listen.

El Nicho Waterfalls:

So picturesque!

  Take salsa lessons, ask citizen to teach you. That would be cool, right?

  Enjoy the music, it's everywhere. Ask someone to teach you play instrument, sing along, make cigars, yeah, why not?

  Go to street market, enjoy the fruits, which probably were gathered a couple of hours before you came. Don't be afraid!

  And finally, which always happens to be an icing on the cake, feel those vibes from the streets, see those beautiful cars, breathe in the air.

  But, if you feel extra special, ask locals about Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, even if you know everything about them and enjoy the romantic feedback. 

  They have the right to be proud of their background.
