Today we had very interting class. Because 3 groups showed their project weblogs. All groups had good weblogs as I know that it is not so easy to keep on working on the one idea. First of I want to mention Kairzhan’s and Ivan’s weblog www.anihumancolor.wordpress.com . For me it was the best weblog due to it’s specific idea. And I agree with our teacher’s opinion that boys really found this work exciting so their articles are very interesting. Thinking about the second presentation which was made by the group “We love films” www.welovefilms.wordpress.com I can say that girls have good writing skills and attractive themes. They made cool weblog and I had visited it few times in order to find what is going on new in the cinemas). Third presentation had the same topic as our group has presented. www.almaty.wordpress.com has excellent presentation of all articles and they tried to light uo onle the brightiest events in thi wonderful city. But the main difference between our site is that our weblog looks more many-sided, and on our blog we shared our feelings and emotions about events which helped to make our weblog more accessible for everyone.
In my opinion each weblog is great and has it’s own charm)! And presentations were so impressive!
Fainaly, we all made a big first steep in developing on-line journalism by writting on our weblogs. I am absolutely happy that I passed this course as I get new knowlege about journalism and found new friends.) Goood luck on the Fainal test!!!)))

Participatory Journalism in KZ.
Journalism is integral part of everyone’s life. Living in the 21st cetury it is hard to imagine ourselves without the means of mass media. People are govern themselves by searching news and finding out what is goin on in the whole world. To be in the center of occurrences people are helped by jurnalists. And there are also many another ways to collect information. In this case the mose popular way is a movement of participatory journalism. Participatory journalists are ordinary people, they can be even specialists in the different lears of society, but they are aimed for informing others about latiest events. This movement also affected Kazakhstan. The big approvment received online participatory journalism sites. The brightest example of it is www.media.kz .
www.Media.kz is a web site which represents the participatory journalism. This site uses russian language and unfourtunately it is not mentioned for foreigners’ interests. Media.kz uses modetators which means that readers can control the work and thems of published articles. Visitor is encouraged to vote for the topic that pleases him and if this topic will get more than 5 “for”, it will be on the first place as a headliner. Site has 2 ways of publishing news. First way considers articles which writer found out from the another site, but they surely mention the link, so it is not violation of author’s rights. Second way is when author writes the news by himself publishing it on the site. It makes the work of writers easier, so a lot of peole use namely this site to express themselves.
Site is well-organized. It very easy for the readers to find information which they want. All topics are distributed into different categories. Economics, Ecology, Business, Fainance, Science, Culture, Politics, Cars, Showbusiness, Sex, Fasion, Music, Movies etc. are the thems that this site grazes. The RSS is also available, which is so comfortable for the owners of bloggs. www.Media.kz provides also very usefull links, for example the weather in the regions, labour exchange and some entertaining functions. I pointed out that one of the best thing in this site is a forum. Anyone can register and discuss evrytning. Forums are also presents the act of participatory journalism. But despite of the countable advantages, this site has one big disadvantage. Readers can not fully trust on what did they read as anyone can be a publisher. The main thing that we can rely is just their personal conscience. And it is better for readers just to prove the information that they get from the sites of participatory jouranlist on the official media issue, fer example look through the lines of informational afents.
In my opinion, www.media.kz is really good site which fully supports the development of participatory journalism in Kazakhstan. By now I am a reader of this site, but in future as I will get more experience I would like to be an author. I recoment media.kz for everyone who are intereted in the latiest events.

Wikipedia site
In my opinion, www.wikpdia.com is very usefull site. I always use it when I need extra information and this site provides me with it. It is very easy to search something due to special offers for visitors. Site includes the latest news from the whole world, also it plays the role of free on-line encyclopedia. They support the conntact with readers of their publications, setting up discussions on different topics, so we can assume this site as an interactive one.

“Mongol” review
There are a lot of considerations about new historical movie “Mongol”. Someone thinks that it didn’t justify hopes but someone was inspired by sensational work of older Bodrov. But I am absolutely agree with Saltanat’s point of veiw. I was looking forward to see this movie. Unfourtunately there were a lot of make ups but despite of it the director opened live of Chingiz Han in interesting form. He showed how main hero formed his character, how his family influenced him. Even if it was finished not in the culmination of Chingiz’s life it was very interesting for me and I will wait for the second part of it. Also due to this movie a lot of people from the different parts of the world will be informed about nomads. And I will recomend “Mongol” for everyone!

What is Journalism?
Journalism is the world which connects all spheres of people’s life. It is some kind of bridge to reality. The work of journalists are not the easiest one, but it approves it’s mission. It is well-known that Journalist is one of the dengerous profession. As on it’s duties concern to inform others with reliable, trustworthy information, to “open people’s eyes” on what is going on in the whole world and somethimes as it’s happends many journalists are arested for their “true point of events”. Despite of that journalist is the most interesting profession as it has in mind creative work. The life of a journalists is not ordinary, they allways meet new people, so that they are not boried by monotonous days and they are the first investigators of news. People can be faced with journalist’s work everywhere, by watching the TV, listen to radio, looking through the newspapers and magazins, searching the internet, taking parts in forums etc. It proves that Journalism has a big influence on everyone’s life. And I am glad that I will be a part of this interesting and exciting worl of Journalism.

Ten Ways to Tell if He’s Mr. Right
He makes your heart skip a beat, but is it lust or love? Searching for that one special person can be very confusing especially with the first flush of falling in love.![]()
Try to step back and rationally look at the relationship you are building. Even in the earliest stages, you can discern important information that will tell you whether this is just a fleeting affair of the heart or rock solid love that will last a lifetime.
Here are 10 ways to tell if he is Mr. Right or Mr. Wrong:
1. You absolutely know he wants you as much as you want him. If it’s right, your feelings of love are reciprocal and mutual and not one-sided.
2. He walks into a room, and you just have to smile. You can’t help it! And when you look at him, he’s smiling at you.
3. You do kind and sweet things for each other just because you want to and not because you feel you have to. Doing them makes you both feel good–and special.
4. You are very secure in the relationship. There is no need for jealousy or suspicion. This is a drama-free zone. No one plays games or secretly tests the other.
5. He likes you for who you are and doesn’t want to change you. Not only does he not make you feel bad about yourself, but also he boosts your self-esteem.
6. Life isn’t perfect. You’ve had your ups and downs, but through it all, you have remained together with the relationship unshaken.
7. He has good friends, and you like who he is when he spends time with them.
8. He does not try to have power over you. There is absolutely no violence in the relationship.
9. He doesn’t pressure you to do things you don’t want to do.
10. The religious and personal beliefs, life goals and interests that make you different don’t push you apart.

Experience
There are a lot of ways how jornalists can express themselves. Interactive and non interactive way are a best solutions to take part in this sphere as a participatory journalist. I had an experiance in both parts of it. The most interesting interactive experiance I have ever had is a chat in one forum, where was Bayan Esentaeva. The advantage of it is that interactive programms is full of live. Non interactive experience is a quite different. Non interactive communication is about writing topics for newspapers. Two weeks ago I was writing one topic on theme of ”health and beauty” for Kz’s magazine, it was only one way communication without including people’s suggestions and opinions. It was more like a theoretical material but it was interesting too . Fainally I found out that if you are a journalist it is very good for you to try yourself as in interactive as in non interactive journalism.
