Tulips have bloomed in the Balkhash greenhouse for the upcoming holidays. So far, there are not many flowers, but if there is demand, they will be grown all year round.The owner of the Balkhash greenhouse, Nariman Sarsembayev, says that he planted tulips as an experiment. Usually, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers and dill grow in his greenhouse.- Tulips are a new direction for us. We decided to diversify the assortment. Of course, we had to consult with the owners of greenhouses in Saran and Karaganda and study a lot. I myself rooted the flowers in the garage. There was the most favorable temperature for flowers. Now we are also maintaining the temperature in the greenhouse. Tulips need + 12 degrees, but the problem is that there are also tomatoes in the same greenhouse, and they need heat. As a result, we are maintaining a temperature of + 14. In the first batch, we made a small mistake in choosing the right darkness. But now we have realized our mistakes and will correct them, - said Nariman Sarsembayev.Now seven thousand tulips are growing in the greenhouse. If the demand for flowers is high, then they will be grown on a permanent basis. The entrepreneur plans to do this in a room where it is easy to maintain the required temperature.The Balkhash greenhouse occupies 2,500 square meters. Innovative agricultural methods such as hydroponics are used there. Tulips are also grown this way.- Of course, we want to expand. But all this is complex and requires large investments. Subsidies would help us a lot. Another problem is the shortage of personnel. There are few competent young agricultural specialists, says Nariman Sarsembayev.Despite these difficulties, the Balkhash greenhouse continues to harvest good crops of dill and vegetables.Employees are gaining knowledge and experience that they can share with young specialists.

A documentary film "Kyz Zhibek: a recipe for love and success" dedicated to the legendary epic film "Kyz Zhibek" was shown in Karaganda. The presentation took place at the "Saryzhailau" cinema as part of the Days of Kazakh Cinema, which began in our republic. Meruert Utekeshova, Honored Artist of Kazakhstan, came to the meeting.The documentary film dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Sultan-Akhmet Kozhykov's film "Kyz Zhibek" was shot with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Information and the National Center for Cinema Support. This is a reflection on why the epic film released in 1972 remains a pearl of national culture.Famous public figures, playwrights, and film critics express their opinions. Asanali Ashimov, a master of Kazakh cinema who played the role of Bekezhan, who hoped to win Zhibek's heart in the film "Kyz-Zhibek", shares his memories.Previously, the presentation was held in Almaty, at the National Library of the Republic of Kazakhstan.- I am glad to come to you, to Karaganda. The city is wonderful, beautiful, and rich in culture. Now, before the premiere, we met at the Saken Seifullin Theater. For me, showing this documentary is a big event, - says the initiator of the shooting and the film's producer Meruert Utekeshova.The idea for such a project arose during the lifetime of the actress's husband Kuman Tastambekov, who played the role of Tolegen in the film "Kyz-Zhibek". Meruert Utekeshova believes that it is important to remember Kazakh classics forever, to leave them as a cultural heritage for future generations. She is sure that from the legendary epic, you can still learn directing, acting, and cameramanship.There were many young people among those who came to the premiere in Karaganda.It is known that the role of Zhibek opened Meruert's path to the profession of an actor. At that time, she was 16 years old, a tenth-grade student decided to take part in the competition and went on the set for the first time in her life.During the interview, the famous film and theater actress answered a question about girls who go to castings in the hope of getting a role and becoming famous.- You know, nothing comes easy. It's not like they say I'll act in films, I'll appear on the screen. Being an actress is a huge amount of work. If you have talent, you'll shine. If you don't, you might get lucky once, and then nothing will develop. Don't think that my first and main role was easy. I haven't told anyone, and I won't. Now I teach at the Institute of Arts in Astana. And no one taught me. There was an inner intuition, thanks to which I felt my colleagues, the director, the operator. And I did not know that an internal monologue was necessary, that preparation was necessary. Now we have been teaching it for four years: some people have it, some do not. I repeat: a lot of hard work and soulfulness are what is needed in any profession, - said Meruert Utekeshova.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/937629
