STRONG PERSONALITIES - LOW INJURIES

 Yesterday I was a witness of the first-aid organization in Atyrau city. Arman is a volunteer first-aider with this organization (the name is not mentioned for ethical reason). Arman is married and it was surprising to realize that he is only one in the city voluntarily. While the staff members seemed to be no happy with their salary. Because for my question: 'You are volunteers or on salary?'
I received only inconfident silence and strange look. May be, I put a wrong question? 
The organization has 15 equipped ambulance cars (night shift) for city population of 271,113 people. And in day shift 13 ambulances have been working to come for help. I am proud to have a friend like Arman (on photo-on the right). I hope he will not stop medical activity. Because we need strong personalities like Arman. 

 

 

Nobody takes attention to the depth of the sorrow when you lost your pet. It does not matter whether it is an animal or human - it is another soul that has a pure heart and understand your soul like nobody else. Yesterday I lost Karina, my sweetest and honest cat - beautiful creation of god. I was a witness of incredible situation which I am going to share with you, my friends:
In the morning Karina used to wake me up because I like to stay in bed just a little longer than anybody else in our family. She already acquired this my bad habit and always was trying to pull down something from my bedside table, e.g: smart phone or watches just some of my item in order to make me crazy in the morning in which manner I usually react. I jump out of the bed and try to play with her giving a chase. She started to run gallop and she was crazy for doing so. I was in the mood to get some more sleep and take my blanket, came to the sofa in the hall. She stayed near me on the coach we sleep together from 7:45 to 11:00 a.m. Yes, this is quite
late for a woman modern but happens with anybody. Especially when you have no job. I received a negative results upon my interview the other days. I am sure here was some involvement of personal attraction to the candidate. Because my chances were 105 per cent from 100 I know from my own experience. Anyways I said to myself that this is not the end of the life I will keep searching for a job. I dressed up and exit from the house to have lunch with my partner in our lovely place. He came only to keep me a company as 

he was posting Ramadan. I love him for this gesture he never keeps me alone-always together.
We were discussing our dance project. We are dancers and we prepare our choreography, music
ourselves. After I decided to visit one of my old female friends, I do not mention her age but she is quite older than myself. The day before I gave her a short call that I am coming for courtesy. During talking to her I understood that she is unhappy because she has got no job. She spat all the burdens of her life on me with an only one interview she has taken recently. I understood perfectly her message: WHY NOT ME, BUT THE OTHERS?
I listened carefully and was trying to give my support. She started to tell me about her bad feeling about the city organization. She continuously complained about her health which was quite stabile on the first look. On the other hand, she seemed very tense and worry about something, yet she is overweight. 
I decided to help a single woman of 50 years and took in my hands the pulsometer to check blood pressure. The pressure was very low - total contradiction her words. I remember her complaints for high pressure. Then I became spooky and took strong action on pressure balance. I suggested her to come with me to the swimming pool. She did not refuse and came along with me. She has done complex of exercises by my instruction and control. After I saw how she became happy and talking all over with smiles. We stayed about 2+ hours in swimming pool with periodic breaks. Meantime I called my partner and informed that I am coming home with my friend. He agreed and started to prepare a dinner. When we arrived at home it was around 8 p.m and we waited for one hour to start together with my man (his fasting ends at 9 p.m). She seemed to be very hungry and showed her impatience and I prepared the appetizers. While eating the snacks she discovered that my Karina was sitting near her that made her frustrated and ruffling. My partner and myself noted immediately how she changed grimace in her face. But we could not say anything because she was our guest. After she asked to switch her favorite channel to see the soap opera. We were obliged to see together with her. However my partner was busy with preparing dinner. From time to time we gave Karina caresses in front of her. When dinner was ready we invited her at the table. According to her behavior with knees up on the chair and elbow on the table she demonstrated her disrespect and discontent. After the start-up we offered a beef stake to her and again she showed her annoyance. I understood immediately but it was too late, I was thinking about our poor cat, Karina. I heard the scratching sounds out in the balcony we started to call her around the flat hoping to find her in the cabinets or drawers but Karina already was downstairs on the 3rd floor flying from the 15 floor which is 45 meters roughly. We realize it when we saw her flashing eyes from the pain and shock that she received. My poor Karina was paralyzed in the back paws and spinal cord was probably broken due to her not moving. I abruptly started to name one emergency volunteer because I knew that there is no 24 hour veterinary services in the city. His name is Arman he was the only one who reacted to my problem. Arman was very fast to arrive to our apartment and he said that he doesn't specialize in animals and started to dial the number of his friend veterinary doctor. Fortunately Olesya the doctor did not refuse to help and opened the clinic which was not working at night. I understood that my Karina would not be able to run and jump like before so I wanted to keep her alive at least.
Olesya could not detect the temperature and said that Karina has an internal hemorrhage so she will not survive. She had a big pain shock and to operate her without anesthesia will kill her. To inject anesthesia in her case had fatal effect too. So the recommendation of the doctor was euthanasia. I was against at the beginning but when I saw my sweetheart suffering from severe pain I said: DO EVERYTHING TO AVAOID PAIN. 
The doctor putted euthanasia; our baby, our princess fell asleep forever. She was fond of sleeping. I see the drops of tear on the face of my partner. I cried a lot. 
Now she is gone with only one message in the eyes: I WANT FREEDOM - I WANT TO FLY. 
Where I understood subliminal message: KEEP WATCHING THE WINDOWS. KEEP THEM CLOSED IF YOU HAVE BABBY CAT! But this time was it destiny or someone's bad aura?

"For now and forever you are free, my darling. We always keep you in our best memories". 

CIAO, KARINA...

  

TRIBUTE TO MAESTRO! 

Ode to Misha

She is so gorgeous and tender. Her name is Karina. She loves Misha. And she loves sleeping a lot. She looks like a star, look yourself how she poses for my camera))) Karina and Misha talks a language that is known only to them. Misha incredibly takes care of Karina and treats her like a princess.

 She feels the power in her paws that can manipulate himself. But Misha never changes. Because it is his nature - to love and protect those who are one step behind his mind. Who is this pure mankind?!!!

Film Review: Taken-2

Olivier Megaton, born as Fontana is a French film maker, director, script writer and graffiti artist. His own style and character served to bring him to a contemporary cinematography. The films «Columbiana», «Red Siren», «Tranformer-3», «Taken» have already attracted millions of viewers. Taken-2, an action thriller, the sequel of Taken continues the story of the capture of retired CIA agent Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-wife Lenore. Previously being tortured Kim in Taken, the daughter of an agent escapes from gangsters risking her life. While Murad, the leader of an Albanian gang and the vengeful father of Marco takes a word at the funerals to avenge his loved son willing to kill an agent. Ex –spy Bryan, who killed the youngest son of Murad in previous Taken had to fight with an army of killers in Taken-2. Where Kim makes a strong decision to assist her father despite of his odds. The daughter follows her father's  instructions through telephone and manages to find the destination of the kidnapped parents. After abandoning from torture Bryan  rescues the daughter and delivers her to the American Embassy. Lenore remains bleeding and wounded in the enemy's territory. Determined Bryan returns to the garage where Lenore was left. He finds Murad disarmed then offers to spare his life and forget vendetta...

Here we see Luc Besson's script outlining the current gangland culture and its a vengeful nature. While the director uses strong visual effects with the car explosions and gunshots. The plot is still credible and keeps the viewer believing in the idea. The distinctive feature of the film is credibility. Because the story itself seems to be incredible: how a man can kill an army of killers, but sympathy and attraction to a main character Liam Neeson put the viewer into a dilemma. Another bright scene is when the daughter, following her father's instructions races with gangsters, keeps the viewer in doubt because she has no driving licence – looks risky.

Taken-2 highlights several issues like: vendetta, the damaging effect of divorce on family members, and overall antagonism towards America and Americans. Despite of  the critic's poor review the film has been a  resounding the box office success: a 45$ million budget has returned 375$ million globally. The success is mainly due to Liam Neeson's powerful performance allied to the director Oliver Megaton's captivating use of visual language. The soundtrack successfully matches the film's theme and gives it essential power to make production  more vivid and effective.

I would recommend this film particularly to a younger generation +16 that are often  influenced by extremist authorities.

Almaty is full of surprises

At one of the riverside cafes I have stopped to have a bite. And for my surprise and admiration the Cuban guests were singing in a perfect Kazakh language, giving a new sense and exotic taste to our national dance that is called Kara-Zhorga. 

Just few words about the dance:

It was established by a bunch of Kazakh immigrants in China. And in 2009 was recorded in the book of Guinness with 13 000 people dancing simultaneously. After one year Atyrau citizens re-established a new record by 15 500 people. If in the past we had only female dance performed by women only today we have a dance that can dance anyone without limitation in sex and age. 

Kara-Zhorga was scientifically researched and proved to have positive effects for the body especially for the big joints and muscle cramps and not only. It has great influence on the mood. You will see how your mood changes in happy mode after a few seconds. Well, better to see than listen. Here is a video (amateur).

Restaurant Review: RUCOLA (Atyrau)

  Finest Italian restaurant opened up recently to Kazakh and foreign diners. Serving irresistible Italian cuisine in soft and silent surroundings, Rucola transports you into a home atmosphere. It is conveniently located at the crossroad where the city divides into two main parts: European and Asian. The soft green furnishings are pleasant and attract the diners into the restaurant. The chef  appears to be an Ucrainanian origin and very new to our market. But it does not put Sergey into trouble for presenting an incredibly delicate taste and well managed decoration.  

Spinach 'ravioli' that I ordered as startup and  'focaccia' for my friend tempted our imagination and stimulated us to stay. For main course my friend decided to try 'chicken cutlets' and myself stopped at 'beef steak' under cranberry sauce. The perfect quantity and delicate meat with melting mushed potato teased us to the limit and enticed us for desert. It was nice 'panacotta' we ever had around the city. Cocktail drinks were experimental in names – 'for gentlemen' attracted me most and my friend could not ignore 'blue geisha'. The  new beer of Chinese production was presented for the first time. And the prices were very democratic, done according to the portion of the main course apart from drinks from the barman. The serving shots are much smaller than the other bars in the city.

There was no proper structure in the menu that costed us time to understand. As well as the incompetence of waitresses annoyed us and made us wish better service. Changing waitresses put the cliché on the management image of the restaurant. The final waitress has made an error in the sequence of orders. She presented the starter for me and the main course for my friend at the same time. We were deluded. Later on looking around my friend noted many lighting equipments at the ceiling and for our big surprise and regret they were off. 'Why not to create more warm atmosphere and comfortable ambience' said we in a choir. The background Italian pop music matched the interiors, but after a while started to annoy. Either some clients were convinced by such a music and faded away. 

There are lots of positive about the restaurant and in particular: suitable location, chef's fine presentation of food and the interior style. But misprinting behaviour of waitresses, poor preparation of the menu and annoying music affects  the image of the restaurant and totally spoils the first impression. The restaurant could have a tendency to be the top in the city with its privileges and attributes, but the issue is still around how making the system works out. Accordingly the management should work it out for mutual interests. The complaints and recommendations from clients must be accepted and taken immediate action for an enhancement.

Generally, long lasting taste of creamy 'risottos' and the variety of 'antipasto' dishes may not keep you indifferent to this place. The high quality of food and its gentle taste keeps your eyes blanked to those minor mistakes of the backstage. For those fans of Italian diverse food and just for the change Rucola restaurant is worth to go.
