El classico El classico is the biggest football match on La Liga (Spain). It is rivalry of Barcelona and Real Madrid. These clubs have won every cup in Spain a Europe. When you say Spanish football everybody will think about Barcelona or Real. We cannot ignore that matches between these clubs have the highest TV ratings and often are quite fascinating. At the end of last season coach of Real has announced that he quits club so Real started to search for new chief. That was not the only loss of Madrid club. Cristiano Ronaldo left Los Blancos and went to Turin. So Real lost some strength this summer and this made El Classico even more interesting. I'm not a fan of one of these clubs but I like to watch matches between them because of amazing performance and many goals. This time we had 6 goals. That is impressive! Barcelona beat Real 5-1 with Luis Suarez scoring hat-trick. The result was predictable but I didn't expect 4 goal difference. I think that Real lost because of tactics. Lopetegi decided to try to win possession and midfield, but he didn't manage to do this. At the first time we saw not many sharp events. Barcelona was better already at first half. Real Madrid players were sloppy and slow, they hadn't fire in their eyes. Barcelona was dominating all over 2nd half with sharp counter-attacks and great possession. Lopetegi tried to switch scheme to use counterattacks but it was too late. Real Madrid should have start with 3-4-3 scheme using fast wingers and counterattacks but Lopetegi lost this tactic competition as well as whole match. The best description of this match is the first goal replay. You should watch it and tri to find any Madrid midfielders near Coutinho or at least around the "D" . You won't. At conclusion, I can say that I'm satisfied with amount of goals but disappointed with Real players attitude and dedication.

The notch Following question was at top of charts with iPhone X release and I'm little bit late with it. Is the notch worth it and is it useful or just weird fantasy of the Apple designers? We can't disagree that making notch in the iPhone was bold decision. As I remembethere were no smartphoneses with such feature before. But also phone this "brow" is most controversial design in last years (since Nokia ngage and other weird mid 2010 Finnish phones?). We can not disagree that Apple has one of the best marketing and design departments. Year by year new iphones, ipads, imacs and other devices are making notable news headlines. iphone X wasn't an exception. We can talk about "new" features for a long time but the most controversial and also popular thing was the notch. I can't definitely say if it's useful or useless. I have bezelless phone without that notch and I like it. In my opinion there shouldn't be any accents in front side of smartphone expect display. Some years ago every vendor was printing their logo in front of you. That wasn't best choice. Nowadays manufacturers are making phones with clean front side without any visual noise. After iphone X release almost every Chinese and then American vendors started to copy the notch. It is biggest trend of smartphone design in last years. So in one hand the notch is visual noise which deverts user from watching solid images on display. But in other hand it is additional space for your display. I like how google made notch on their Pixel. They use it only for notification and system icons which are always shown at the bottom of the screen on black background. It is pretty cool and useful. With solid black background the notch also is not recognizable by eye. Also Google made special mode to turn this notch off by not showing any information on its sides. So you have choice to use or not to use this additional space on your display. At conclusion, I we can see that making notch was great Apple's decision because it gone to design trends and most people got used to it. Nowadays there are many rumors about upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 with bezelless display but it is another story to tell next time ;)

Eat like an Italian I have never been to Italy until last vacation. Italy is great country to live there. The weather is pretty warm and soft, people look great and fashionable, streets are green and clean. One of the most important part of our life is food. The country is well-known for its cuisine. You can find Italian restaurants all over the world. Meal for Italians is kind of some ritual. Like in Spain, in Italy people have "siesta" so they don't work at midday because of hot weather. Italians prefer to eat at late afternoon around 8 or 9 o'clock. Many restaurants and cafes there open at 17:00 and later! The Italian dinner has 4 parts. People there like to go to restaurant in group of 5-7 persons. They talk a lot and are quite loud sometimes. First part is bread snack. In Italian restaurants they are always serving some fresh crispy bread or bread sticks. You can use olive oil or balsamic vinegar to add some flavor. The 2 part is first course. These are light dishes almost every time without meat. It could be pasta with vegetables or salad. Then Italians eat second course. You can find many meat dishes in menu there. Starting with lasagna or pizza and ending with baked rabbit with corn porridge. By the way at this moment Italians finishes 3ish cup of a vine. The last step would be dessert. There are many kinds of sweet desserts in Italy like tiramisu or panna cotta. Dinners like these in such late time are quite hard for me! You couldn't just sit and eat as many as Italians eat. Probably in Russia we eat as much as Italians on some holidays like New year or Birthdays. The most interesting part is that I haven't noticed any overweight people. Italians look healthy and fashionable. We are what we eat :)

Cybersport Cybersport is getting more and more popular last years. Today we even have Faculty of cybersports in some universities even in Russia. For my computer games was an entertainment thing. It is always fun to stick together with your friends and play some crazy games or go online with voice chat on. In my opinion we can call many computer games as sport. The main analogy which will help to figure out what is it is the Chess. Chess is a worldwide intellectual sport. Also, it is a game. So I think that playing chess is the most similar to cybersport. Now you must decide for yourself if chess is a sport or not. Then it would be easy to find out this thing about cybersports.

Washing a car After I moved to Saint-Petersburg I noticed inte4resting thing. Nobody washes his car! There are so many dirty cars around streets. Expensive Range Rover or cheap Lada 2106 — you can find any dirty one in the city. I'm wondering why people don't care about it. In my opinion dirty car is like dirty shoes. Sometimes there are accidents when you just haven't got any time to clean well but you always can use some kind of napkin or sponge to clean shoes. That should work with car too. In our time there are so many self carwashing stops that you can find them all over the city. If you want to spend less money and to wash fast those are best decision. You will spend around 10 minutes but your car will shine (that is not true). Anyway it isn't hard to do wash up 1 time a week or after some trip. In my opinion it is comfortable to use self carwsashes 1-2 times a week plus have a ride to usual carwash where you can order wax and interior cleaning for bigger price. It is really cool to drive shiny clean car. Also you can use special foam for rubber to make your wheels black which is nice too. But talking about dirty cars problem. I suppose that people there live in a such fast rhythm, so they just forget about such things. That is a big problem because people not only forget or doesn't have for washing up their car but also for other life stuff. We must learn to manage your time and have a relax after work.

Mobile gaming Today I would like to think about mobile gaming. When I was younger I used to play games a lot. I have started my gamer way with Sega Mega Drive in early 2000's. I remember some favourite titles which I had: Mortal Combat 3, Desert Strike, Alladin, The Jungle book and so on. In that time people didnt think about mobility when they had talked about games. Then in the middle of 2010's Nintendo DS and PSP appeared. I had PSP for my 13ish birthday and it was awesome. With portable console you could play whenever you want and everywhere. Many my classmates had PSP too so I didn't play alone. But portable console didn't got development because of smartphones. Nowadays almost everybody has smartphone which is faster and many times more powerful than PSP. Sony tried to make PS Vita but they have failed. People like universality and dont like to take many things with them. So all-in-one gadgets are the most popular choice. That is probably why smartphones overcame portable consoles. But do we really need games? Well, in my opinion you must not install games on your phone. At least classic entertaining games. There are tons of educational or self-developing applications for your smartphone which are better choice to spend time at metro. I felt that games are useless some days ago. I suppose that most mobile game are not AAA class and are made just for timekilling. It would be much better to train your memory or improve vocabulary than just waste your time. There are many educational games which are fun! Maybe they are not as fun as some shooters or other games but they're useful for you. I haven't got any timekilling games on my smartphone now and I hope that I won't install any [but I will :)].

Politeness There are some traits which are fundamental to person. Civilization would probably tear apart without honesty, kindness, politeness. Ancient Greek philosopher said that our life couldn't develop without them but only based on them. That is probably true. One of the main demand of person is philanthropy. This thing grant you happiness whatever you do this. The first step to become philanthropist is to become polite. That is the easiest way to start getting happiness. But it seems that less and less people know this. There're so many impolite persons around you. Especially in Russia. Maybe this is something about Russian character or environment but I met much more impolite people in Russia rather than in Europe. Sometimes I hear that Europeans or Americans are not so sincere like Russians. Sometimes I feel so, but this depends only on person. I met many cool guys in Europe who was polite and sincere to me and to other people even to strangers. We should definitely involve etiquette lessons at school and teach our children to be polite so it will bring happiness to our society.

Summer This summer was awesome. I can't remember such a sunny and warm summer in Saint-Petersburg since I was living here. It might be warmest one in last 5 years. I love warm summer. You can go sunbathing or swimming, playing beach games such as volleyball. There are some places at Saint-Petersburg where you can have this kind of rest but not as many as in Kaliningrad. In my hometown it takes 30 minutes to reach sea by car or 40ish by public transport. There are many towns where you can go if you want chill at beach or have some sea activities. I miss sea. The Finland Gulf water is not quite clean. Also there is big crowd everywhere near the city. The best places are little bit farther from city. There are many clean lakes on south and even more on north at Karelia.
