Kazakhstan Abolishes Daylight Saving Time

Doctors found out that more than half the people of Kazakhstan react negatively to time change: Insomnia, spikes in blood pressure, endocrinal deviations and the exacerbation of chronic diseases were cited as the most common health complications caused by the 1 hour time shift after the vernal equinox.
Time change also leads to growth in number of driving accidents, as well as work related accidents.

Wanted! Dead Or...

Being in Almaty prevents me from being able to go to any cinema and calmly watch "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan".
Both Kazakh and Russian Governments imposed and old-fashioned censorship wall on the self-proclaimed Kazakh reporter and patriot Borat.
Therefore, I challenge you dear reader to send me a DVD copy of "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"... Negotiable reward!
