Reflection on a cover Music is recyclable. Every time, someone performs a song or a suite, the music slightly changes and turns into something else, absorbing the energy of the musician and delivering this new image to the audience. It is very interesting, how songs can change the souls and moods when someone makes a cover of it. For example, the song "The careless whisper" by Jorge Michael became something different, even opposite, when the group, "Seether", made their own cover of it. When you listen to the original song, you feel something gentle, light and deep into the melody, which gives caressing feeling. On the other hand, when you hear the cover, you feel a very careless and desperate energy, which expresses the sadness of the lyrics, but makes you feel the power by the brutal instrumentation and vocals. Furthermore, the composition was divided into two free musical images, attracting different audiences and being evidence of recyclable music.

Exercises. Part 2 With a barbell: The bench press You need a barbell loaded with weight plates, barbell locks, belts or magnesia for better grip and, of course, a bench. For the safe, you may also need an assistant. The person performing the exercise lies on his back on the bench. Then he grasps the bar with both his hands in the middle grip and finally presses it upwards up to the straight arms. This exercise is useful for the muscles of the arms and the torso, particularly the chest. The squats You need a barbell loaded with weight plates and the support. For the safe, you may also need an assistant. The movement begins from the standing position. Firstly, you take the barbell from the support and place it on your shoulders behind the head. Then you start squatting to an appropriate depth (a full squat or with an angle of 90 degrees). During the exercise, your back must be straight, whereas your knees must be parallel to your feet. Finally, you are standing up to the straight position. This exercise is very useful for the strength of the legs and back. With dumbbells: You can use dumbbells to work on the arms, for instance, to increase the strength of your biceps. For the biceps, you may work in either the standing position with two dumbbells or the sitting position with one dumbbell. Using one dumbbell in the sitting position allows the lifter to use higher weights. For the sitting position, you need a sit and a dumbbell. Performing demands keeping your back straight. Firstly, you hold the dumbbell on the ground, while the other arm leans on your knee. During the exercise, the lifter moves the dumbbell up (to the chin) and down (to the ground) with either constant or variant speed. The horizontal bar The horizontal bar is very versatile equipment for training of almost all muscle groups. Let’s consider training of a shoulder girdle by using a widespread exercise – the pull-up. There are many variants of this exercise: the wide grip, the narrow grip, the pull-up behind the head, etc. For the pull-up behind the head, you should use the wide grip and perform the exercise without a snatch, moderately lifting yourself until the bar is behind your neck and lowering the same way. If you have an advanced shape, you may add some weights, attached to a training belt. This exercise is very useful for shoulder girdle, especially for the muscles of the back.

Exercises. Part 1 Before performing any exercises, the lifter should warm up to prevent possible injuries and to increase efficiency of the training. The warm-up often consists of easy movements for all groups of muscles and joints. It also may include a little jogging. Bellow, I describe some famous and close to me exercises. Weightlifting exercises To do the exercises you need a barbell loaded with weight plates. The barbell locks are also needed to prevent plates from falling off. For better grip, the lifter can use magnesia. It increases the friction between the palms and the bar. Lifters often use the hook grip to hold the barbell more reliably. I. The squat snatch Phases: 1. Pull The bar is gripped with a very wide grip. The back is necessary straight. The lifter pulls the barbell making acceleration and trying to lift the barbell as high as possible. 2. Squat The lifter pulls himself into a squat position. It is necessary to have straight arms. 3. Lift The lifter stands up with the barbell over his head up to fully straight position. II. The clean and jerk Phases: 1. Pull The lifter grasps the barbell just outside the legs. The back is necessary straight. The lifter pulls the barbell explosively as high as possible, accelerating it. 2. Squat The lifter pulls himself into the squat position, placing the bar onto the deltoids. 3. Lift The lifter stands up with the barbell on his deltoids. 4. Jerk The lifter dips a few inches by bending the knees and then explosively extends the knees, pushing the barbell upwards. The exercise is considered complete when the barbell is over the lifter’s head and the arms are straight. The exercises train all groups of muscles, but the knees and joints may be overloaded.

Sports A long time ago, in the ancient times, when the human was like other predator animals and hunted a lot for food and fur, our bodies, perhaps, were almost as severe and strong as a lion's. Today our way of life is much more sedentary and our muscles have weakened. They can't allow us to be strong and fast any more without including some added and regular exercises. Sports are important for our life without a doubt. People often judge us for our appearance, and that sometimes helps us to rise in a career and deals of the heart. Being in shape not only helps us to have higher self-esteem, but also improves our quality of life. Moreover, sport achievements give us lots of pleasure, which is an unbelievable feeling! Besides, how can we imagine a healthy way of life without, for instance, jogging. This is a strong stereotype, isn't it? But in spite of all of this positive reasons, I think we should deal with this very carefully and turn on our minds. We must take into account that our muscles, organs and joints are vulnerable. It is vitally important to avoid overloading then. Secondly, there are lots of fun besides sport - if you are interested in sports too much, you risk to miss other parts of life. Thirdly, to avoid much comparing yourself with more advanced sportsmen and to be patient is important. You are only working for yourself. In conclusion, sports as many other things make a significant impact on our life. We in turn, including it in our way of life, should use it properly without being obsessed and focusing too much.

Music Music is a one of the most mysterious things in our life. Its exact mathematics allows people to create true art. The language of music, expressed with notes and keys, is similar to some programming languages like Java or C++, and, by using this, we can create tough logical constructions that somehow can touch the deepest strings of our sole - it is amazing, isn’t it? Many scientists, investigating the human brain, admit that the process of compositions, creation of music, is extremely interesting and complex. This process involves in work both brain hemispheres and demands lots of energy and inspiration. Music itself is the universal language, which provides interconnection between composers and musicians as well as between musicians and end listeners. This communication is specific: it does not need any common languages to deliver information from heart to heart. When you write music, your imagination works with full capacity, your emotions, fantasies and logic work together, and the result can bring true pleasure. Equally curious is the process of performance of music, when, for instance, you, as a musician, participate in the orchestra and you are literally surrounded by sounds and voices, going through your body and your soul. From the position of a listener, music not only can be pleasant for our ears, but also is capable of coming through our mental armor, invoking our sacred feelings and making us do really great things! In conclusion, I say that music is an important part of my life as well. I like it both as a musician-amateur and as a listener. It is interesting, how music can remind me of deep memories with feelings and even scents. Anyway, this mysterious sphere will be interesting for scientists in the very far future either.

Water Looking out a window during my trip to Moscow by train, I am observing original old buildings covered with snow, which is almost everywhere here in this season, making our life more fabulous. Snow or ice is one of states of water, which is certainly the most important source of life in a known part of the Universe. However, haven't you ever wondered where our water is from? It is a quite interesting question, isn't it? By today, as I remember, scientists have formulated several theories on origins of Earth's water, and here I am going to tell about a couple of them. So, if I asked you where water is in the Space, perhaps, you would remember comets' tails - and it represents the first theory. Indeed, according to different sources, in early periods of Earth existence many comets were falling down on the surface and bringing some amount of water onto our planet. However, was this amount significant enough to form all our oceans? Many scientists argued that the amount was not enough, and so was formed another theory, based on migration of the biggest planet in the Solar System - Jupiter. According to this theory, a certain part of dispersive ice from our big neighbor was captured by Earth's gravity during Jupiter movement near our planet. That ice ultimately became our water, launched the Earth's cycle and created conditions for life. In addition, one more thing that I am going to say. Isn't it interesting that we are living in conditions, which are only seemingly constant: brightness of our beautiful star, locations of planets and duration of year? Actually, our present is just a flash in comparison with life of this constantly changing Universe.

Is the climate changing? I guess, everybody has noticed over a few last years that the climate and the weather are not stable and sometimes change quite unsustainably. For example, in Moscow area a few days ago, there was severe frost with a temperature below - 30 degrees Celsius, but now the weather is much friendlier and the temperature is already close to zero. Such more than just significant variations not only causes anxiety due to its probably negative influence on people's health, but it is also an interesting question for science. Indeed, what does this change mean? Where are causes of it, why do we face such weather anomalies in the present? Furthermore, for last years, disasters have appeared in different corners of the world: tsunami in Asia, floods in Europe, hurricanes in the USA, etc. These and other questions more often arise in the society awakening fear about the future of our planet in some groups of people - scientists, politicians and ordinary citizens. One theory, which I heard about, argues that such natural phenomena may be related to negative humanity influence, for example, impact of industry, transport. However, what if we are innocent, and all these climate problems happen regularly over certain periods as part of global world's cycle due to natural process. I have heard about the little ice period in the medieval, and maybe currently we have a similar thing? Anyway, today we have some global issues to think about instead of being obsessed with a military race and the ridiculous media war.

The eighth entry - about Star Wars Recently I watched "The Rogue One" and I would like to share my experience here. When I was going to the cinema, I had already heard that this new Star Wars movie is maybe the most serious film in the series, and after all, I want to say that it is worth watching. Previous film of the Saga was not so good, from my opinion: there were lots of uncertainties and inaccuracies, I did not understand at all how it is possible to learn the Force so quickly and I think this simplicity turned all mysteries of the Force into nothing - it is not serious at all. The new film is not about knights and beautiful battles with lightsabers, it is about ordinary people in hard situation. Of course, it is a fairytale, but this story is much more close to real war and to appropriate emotions than all stories about the Jedi. Moreover, it is important that these rare mentions of the Force make it more valuable and mysterious -when The Darth Vader appears and uses the Force, you really feel how it is serious to be able to have this power. I have a great deal of respect for creators of the film and I hope further films in this universe will be worth watching too. I should say that it is much better to see it in an up to date cinema- so you will get a ton of pleasure, especially if you are a fan. Thanks for your attention.
