Starting today, my book, “Time Cliff: Where Survival Ends and Creation Begins,” is available worldwide across different continents via Amazon marketplaces.
I’m not jumping for joy as I thought I would. I simply don’t have the energy left to jump—the journey was that difficult. I have been writing for 30 years, so that wasn’t the challenge. The international legal system is complex and exhausting. And I didn’t even plan for today to be the official launch date. The stars just aligned this way.
I will provide the links for the three book formats on Amazon in the comments. Please note that different Amazon directories apply to different regions of the world.
Moreover, this is a victory for the people with whom we have been building and continue to build projects during this long and heavy war. We continue to create beauty and we continue to grow. Ukrainians are strong!
Айфон чудовий для особистих фото й швидких моментів. Але коли йдеться про створення контенту для бренду, ресторану чи fashion‑проєкту, смартфон не завжди може забезпечити потрібну якість. Саме тому ми у Nagorna Agency використовуємо камери Nikon. Ось чому:
Оптика та зум — професійні об’єктиви дозволяють знімати крупні плани на відстані без втрати якості. Айфон цього не може: його «зум» — цифровий і псує картинку.
Великий сенсор — повнокадрова камера захоплює більше світла, деталей і глибини кадру.
Кінематографічний вигляд відео — знятий матеріал має природне «bokeh», чисте зображення навіть у сутінках.
RAW‑файли та високі бітрейти — гнучкість у постпродакшені та кольорокорекції.
Професійний звук — камери Nikon дозволяють підключати зовнішні мікрофони безпосередньо та інтегрувати їх у професійний workflow.
Айфон чи інший просунутий смартфон — чудовий для простих зйомок, але дійсно професійний фото‑ та відеоконтент потребує інструментів іншого рівня. Саме тому ми працюємо з Nikon — щоб ваш бренд виглядав конкурентно й професійно. PS Проте, додатково для польових сесій ми використовуємо смартфони від Sony, позаяк вони незамінні для швидких репортажних зйомок і дозволяють керувати процесом на майже професійному рівні.
Фешн фотосесія у форматі street style. Головне завдання, яке ми ставили перед собою під час зйомки — передати характер, сучасність фешн бренду, його автентичність та неповторність.
І в ролі моделі на фото — засновниця та обличчя бренду — Aurika Dali Uzun. Більше фотографій тут.
Humanity began crafting fermented beverages back in the Neolithic era and recognized the benefits of alcohol. People became so engrossed in purposeful production of alcoholic beverages and stopping them was impossible. When a dish is being prepared in the kitchen and there’s an alcoholic beverage nearby, people will inevitably try to combine them. Sooner or later, it happens. Dishes with the addition of white, red, or rosé wine have been known from ancient times to the present day. Dishes with beer are a classic of German cuisine and many other countries. Strong alcohol is added to dishes made from meat, fish, seafood, various types of baked goods, and desserts. But for what purpose?
Professional chefs confidently state that alcoholic beverages enhance the taste and help the aromas of the dish fully unfold. Alcohol becomes a kind of conductor of chemical processes. Its molecules interact with fat and water, transferring aromas and flavors from the liquid medium to the dense one.
In meat dishes (like the famous French Boeuf Bourguignon), red wine is added. And the dish Coq Au Vin made from rooster cannot be prepared without red wine. They are made for each other. Some types of berry sauces are enhanced with whiskey. White wine is added to sauces for fish and seafood, red wine for meat. Do you remember that wine for a dish is selected according to its sauce?
When the whole family is at the dining table, can such dishes be served to children? More often than not, the answer is positive (except for sauces). Alcohol evaporates quickly during cooking, and its beneficial effects remain. White wine can be used in dishes with fish and seafood. This adds acidity. Fish can be marinated with white wine. It produces an excellent taste, and it prevents the development of undesirable microorganisms.
When you want the dish to have the scent of wood, brandy is added. Beer gives a rich bread taste. This is a classic of German cuisine. Dishes with the addition of beer are also often prepared in the Czech Republic, where brewing traditions are very strong. Pork knuckle cooked with craft barley beer according to a German recipe. This method of preparation makes the meat soft, tender, and easy to separate from the bone.
