FRESH3

Dear readers,

The third issue of the magazine is

also very rich in fresh information about your

life at the university. Our magazine is not set

up on the stories of the obvious, but more

concentrated in those moments that are not

known to all. Our aim is to distract students

from the routine of everyday life and to show

that student life is not only getting a red

diploma (well, and do not forget about it), but

also be developed to learn and strive to

improve ourselves day by day.

In this issue you will find news that took place

at the University on CPS students,

entertainment of Astana, a few words about a

sports club, shocking dressing brave, and

finally an interview with the President of the

School of Engineering. I think in each category

every reader will find something interesting for

yourself.

Field trip


A few words about what many

already know. Soon the end of

the year, and many students have

organized a small party with their

teachers. Even though it has only

a few months, but many students

are close to each other. We hope

this year has been very

productive for our favorite

teachers and for the students.

At the end of the year was the

turn to make a decision about a

future profession. And to help us in

this the NU Schools organized

Open Days: Open Day of SST,

Open Day of SHSS,

and Open Day SEng. Perhaps,

these great events influenced

on many students’ decisions.

Last weeks of May have been

very exciting for most of the HimBio

students. Walk In Burabai in the canvas

boots and jackets of XXL size was cool,

however, it still was funny. Memories of

many students associated with the

songs around the campfire with a touch

of romance. Field trip – combine

business with pleasure.

Open days

End of the Academic Year


Daulet Magzymov, seemingly ordinary undergraduate student – that was my first impression. However, while I was talking with him, I learned a small part of him, but this part was enough to admire his life. And in this article I will tell you about so modest man, so the President of Engineering School, shared with Foundation program students his thoughts and experience. My first question is: - Hello, Daulet, tell me more about yourself, your life? - As you already know, my name is Daulet Magzymov. I am from a small town Ekibastuz, also I finished KTL (Kazakh-Turkish Lyceum) in Pavlodar. And now I’m the second year student in Chemical Engineering. - You were student of KTL as many students of this university, and what are you interested in? - Well, now studying is in priority, but in the winter I went to ice skating rink, went to the cinema theatre with my girlfriend, had parties as friends’ birthdays. - And do you have any

hobbies? - In general, there's no time – study, as well before I have learned to play the guitar and dombra. I even gave dombra for my birthday, it was such a special order. I learned one and half of kui (кюй)…=) Sometimes, I with my friends from Pavlodar play football somewhere in the city. Finally, I read books. - What are the most memorable books? - Books ... The greatest effect

on me has made a book – Fedor Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and Punishment”. After that I found that reading books is interesting. And the second book is “Abay Joly” by Mukhtar Auezov, the truth is I was forced to read it for the lesson of the Kazakh language. And even though it was not my free decision, I do not regret that I have read, and I advise everyone to read this interesting book. - Who do you read of the foreign authors? - I read "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, as many of others. Even though it is accepted that this book should produce a powerful effect on people, on me it did not so affect. Another book is “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway. This is short story, and reading this book is like watching a cloud – everyone can find in it something of their own. And probably because of it this book won the Nobel Prize. - Tell us how are you involved in the University life? - It so happened that my friends spurred and sent me to run for president of School of Engineering. Well, there have voted for me, and that's how I became President of Engineering Society. - Hehehe ... So shy to talk about it. - Well, here we organized various meetings, lectures by successful people, the presentation of the faculties, Open days for Foundation students – introduction to the different disciplines. In short, my social life is completely connected with the School of

Engineering. Being President of Engineering Community is so challenging. In September will be elections for the next academic year again, and so everybody has a chance to be President of SEng. - Do you have any suggestions for the CPS students? - I have friends who are studying in CPS, and so I remember how I usually came and told them the basic tips, such as going to bed before midnight, taking breakfast, planning a day in advance. They look pretty easy, but many students cannot even follow it. - As you know, we are approaching exams, and my question is how can students improve their social life and prepare for the exams? - Firstly, I repeat that you must first recover and to arrange your daily routine. Then all undertakings receive successful course. - And finally, do you have a favorite phrase? - Hmmm ... My favorite phrase is ... I remember from Foundation, every student walks passively with thoughts about passing exams. And I had an impression "where I am", but then when there were organized a talent show, I realized how interesting people around me. So here's my favorite phrase - "Look around, because in every person you can find a talent." - Thank you, I learned from you interesting things. Good luck in your future plans… =)

Daulet Magzymov, The President of Engineering Community

Dear readers, I want to tell you about one of the most exciting and enormous thing that I have ever done! Do you ever heard of “Rope Jumping”? Well, this article is going to show the feelings that I experienced before, while and after jumping.

At the morning, first thought that came to my mind was “Hey man! You have rope jumping today!” It was 11 o’clock at my watches, and whole day I couldn’t concentrate properly on working and studying. Every hour, every minute, no… even every second I was thinking about rope jumping, picturing in my mind how I will jump from building that has 45 meters in height! I was even considering about writing a bequest! But I dismissed this thought, and didn’t write.

The weather outside was

dull and cloudy.

When me

And

two of my friends,

that were participating in rope jumping too, went out of university, we decided to catch a taxi, because we didn’t know about the location of the rope jumping place. While the trip I was looking through the window at the big and black clouds in the sky. The closer we were reaching the place, the bigger was feeling of trouble. Finally we acknowledged that the building, where people are jumping, is placed on the other side of the city. It is high, unfinished, and abandoned building. Moreover, it is placed near a cemetery (place where dead people are buried)!

We went through the empty first floor of this building and went out from the other side of building where we found the organizers of the Rope jumping. Firstly they didn’t believe that I am 19 years old and asked for our Identity Cards. After we showed, they gave us papers with the agreement that if any accident happens they aren’t totally responsible. By the way we asked them if any accidents ever happened. They said: “There were no accidents, however, if happens, there is a cemetery nearby!” It was horrible joke, but this joke made

us a little bit more

confident.

Then

they putted a

stamp on our hands and

said to climb to the roof of the building using the fire ladder. As we walked to

the ladder, I felt a weakness in my legs. But the music that I’ve started listening

while was climbing gave me a confidence. The stairs of ladder was old

and seemed to break. When we reached the top, we saw 3 guys standing on the

edge of the roof; they

were instructors. We approached them and I’ve decided to jump first. They putted on me special equipment so they could attach the rope. After they pointed out the place on the concrete beam from which I’ll jump. It was only 25 cm width! When I got to it, I saw the organizers at the ground down below. From this height they were like little ants! The instructor said me that I have to jump as he counts to 3. When he shouted 3, I jumped! It was crazy!!! I

didn’t have time to feel fear. The ground was approaching quickly, my body tightened! Whole my life passed quickly in my mind!!! These 2-3 seconds of direct fall was really incredible! As the thought that

I will wreck on the

ground came

to my

mind,

the rope abruptly

pulled me on the top. Then within 8-10 seconds I was swinging like a pendulum,

until one of the organizers putted me down. When I reached the ground, to

my surprise, I stood confidently. Then I watched as my two friends were

jumping too. Furthermore, the weather became sunny and the dark clouds

gone. After they ended jumping we returned to dormitory and whole way I

was thinking about the feeling that experienced. That day I understood that

our life is also passing by quickly. This jump inspired me to have more

interesting life. This jump won’t be the last, I decided one day to try skydiving! I advise everyone to try rope-jumping! If

you will, I suggest you to listen for a favorite music, until you are getting

there, and to be as confident as possible so you can enjoy your flight! This flight

probably will change your view to whole life!


Our reporters have noticed strange objects at the roof of the café in the dormitory. Ghosts? No?

Or maybe, those who don’t want to pay for rope jumping are looking for

extreme here at the dormitory of the Nazarbayev University. The bravest

ones endanger themselves by standing on the glass of the café roof.

In addition to the fact that they are under the risk to be fallen down, they

also risk to be expelled from the dormitory, because they violate

dormitory rules. But maybe that is why they are risking, maybe they are

genuine extremals .

Reporters did some photos from the third floor. Now they were not looking like ghost or extremals. Maybe it is a new place for romantic dates. But there was one more person. So it wasn’t a date.

Oh no, one more illegal organization? Maybe those guys

were organizing paid tours for students on the roof. They provide

one blanket and help to scared students to climb to the glass

roof. Good service. Interesting idea. But illegal again.

Our reporters did their best to take some photos and tried to take interview, but unknown persons managed to escape.

Dear readers! We are very glad to introduce you a fresh section of our magazine, dedicated to foundation students that contribute to the development of social, academic and sports life at Nazarbayev University. The topic of this issue will be about martial arts. Thereby, one of the brightest representatives of the sport life at CPS Course, Daniil Tarassov, will be interviewed by our correspondent (Adi Taichakov). - A: Hello, Daniil! The first reasonable question is … what are your results on the Oral Presentation and Research Project? - D: Actually, I am not quite satisfied with my results on Oral Presentation because I, honestly, expected to get a distinction. However I have lacked several points to get to the score. What about Research Project – I have no idea about the mark on the final draft, but I believe that the results will correspond to my expectations. - A: Let us hope to the best. Nevertheless, as active participant of sports life at Nazarbayev University, in which type of sport you are particularly involved? - D: Well, at present I practice Wushu, a Chinese form of martial art, which is mainly divided by two directions: demonstrative performances and martial arts. Until the age of 13 I was taking part in martial arts, and just after that I have proceeded to demonstrative performances. Later, at university I have found out that there is Mixed Martial Arts club, organized by Daulet Dyussekenov, second year student at SST. So, I have joined this club and several months later I began to practice my skills of martial arts again. - The “classic” question regarding to our topic: Do you think that man need to have some knowledge of martial arts? - D: Personally, I think that every male must know the martial arts in order to be able to stand up for his family, his girlfriend and himself. - A: The fact that you contribute to supporting healthy lifestyle among NU students is worthy of respect. But how have you started to train at MMA club? - D: Well, having the knowledge of fighting techniques I began to conduct trainings at club, because it was not only effective way of practicing combat skills but also a good way to transfer my hints and experiences to club members. - A: By the way, for how long you are involved into the Wushu? - D: As I remember, my trainings have started when I was only at 1st year of school. Therefore I am engaged into sport activities for about twelve years. - A: It is pretty amazing that you that large experience. Surely, for this period you have made a range of achievements, what could you tell us about them? - D: In the demonstrative

discipline I have a range of victories on city, regional and country levels. Also, I have won Kazakhstan Championships at years of 2008, 2010 and 2011. In addition, on the international level competition I have got into the top ten best performers. - A: You know the fact that people like you, who have so incredible achievements, make us all very proud of foundation students studying here. Nevertheless, being the NU student, isn’t it challenging for you to combine trainings and academic activities? - D: It is really sensitive issue for me, as at several moments there could a strong deficit of time; therefore I sometimes need to sacrifice my trainings in order to catch up the academic material. Nonetheless, we should realize that without regular physical exercises we will not be able to reach maximum academic performance. Despite our primary goal is to study, it is crucial to interchange mental activities with physical exercises that are vital for our health. Thereby, the life without sport is not life at all. - A: What could you say about the modern situation of Wushu in Kazakhstan? - D: In general, Wushu in our country has a good potential, however, as it is a relatively young direction of sport in Kazakhstan, a considerable time and financing are required to create strong base at this type of martial arts. - A: In modern society there is a tendency that more and more women get in touch with the world of martial arts. Do you agree with this statement, and how would you comment on that? - D: That is interesting question. Basically, Wushu and Karate, especially at the field of demonstrative performances are well represented by females. These forms of martial art are beneficial for women, as a way of keeping healthy lifestyle. However, taking part in fighting is rather unlikely, because female athletes should not blemish their natural beauty. But again, I am very glad to see representatives of the fair gentle in sport and especially in MMA. - A: Do we have girl-students who are engaged in MMA at our university? - D: Of course. Besides the club of martial arts there are also Aikido classes, held by Daulet Dyussekenov. At present time, there are several girls from foundation course, who attend aikido classes. Therefore, girls are very welcome. - A: The health of athlete stands upon the dietary regime as well as on the regular exercising. To what extent do you agree

with this statement? - D: I strongly agree with this statement. If you practice physical exercises regularly and expect the best result, you have to keep dietary regime in reliance upon the hourly chart. Also, there should be a wide range of organic products in food ration of sportsman, for example: fruits, vegetables and meat. The meat is especially significant for MMA athletes, because this type of sport imply enormous losses of energy, which is the best compensated by meat. Another significant aspect is human body’s replenishment of water and salt. By this reason, drinking of water in good supply is also important. - A: Did you have an experience of keeping the diet? - D: Personally, I did not have a need of keeping the diet. However, I would leave open the possibility to try a diet in the foreseeable future. - A: Recently, there was a major sport event at NU, the opening of the Sport Center. Were the opportunities of the MMA club expanded with this? - D: Absolutely. Due to the opening of the Sport Center, brand-new equipment, including professional prize-ring, judo mats and punching bags was granted. This, in turn, will effect positively on the quality and the level of club trainings. - A: How has the opening of the Sport Center effected on the active people of NU? - D: I think, all the new facilities are really inspiring, especially for people who are really concerned about sport. Surely, the new Sport Center will encourage people, interested in sport, for new achievements. - A: At this time, have there any sport contests you would like to participate in? - D: Well, as a member of Kazakhstan’s National Team, I am going to participate in the Republic Championship, which will be held at Almaty in a week or two. Hopefully, my level of fitness has not weakened during the time of studying. - A: Last but not least, what the wishes would you like to say to the readers of the “Fresh” magazine? - D: The most important, I think, is to never lose your heart. Whatever difficulties might appear in your life, you should move through thick and thin. The second well-wishing is to study hard and learn something new every day. And finally, I wish all the readers of the magazine to do sport regularly, because the sport is the base of health of every human. Thus, with a good health you will have a good luck, financial well-being, success in life and all that you can only imagine. - A: Thank you very much Daniil. On behalf of all the students of Nazarbayev University and the administration of the “Fresh” magazine, with all our hearts we want to wish you a good fortune on the tournament.
