Achievements of Uzbekistan in the years of independence

Party presidency. The period of political thaw was brief; Karimov began 
to complicate the registration process of opposition parties during 
elections. As Birlik grew in strength as a "popular movement", it was 
denied the ability to register as a "political party" without the required 
60,000 signatures. The Karimov government allowed Birlik one day to 
gather these signatures, 25,000 of which they rejected. Karimov 
effectively took authoritarian measures to block any meaningful 
opposition.

Uzbek national cuisine
Uzbek cuisine
Uzbek cuisine is rich and known for a wide usage of meat is peculiar to 
its national part. Traditionally, the Uzbeks prefer mutton, they eat beef very 
often, and more rarely they use horse meat for cooking some kinds of 
meal (bologna and etc.).
The characteristic feature of modern Uzbek national cuisine is the usage of 
different vegetables such as carrot, pumpkin, potatoes, tomatoes, turnip and 
others. Although potato, cabbage, tomato, aubergine have begun to cultivate 
in Uzbekistan since the end of the XIX century, today these vegetables are 
grown and used all over Uzbekistan. Different herbs both cultivated and wild 
found wide application in the Uzbek cuisine. Such seasonings as coriander, 
mint, basil, red pepper and others are added to the meal in rather big doses.
Flour and grain make the base of the greater part of Uzbek dishes. The 
majority of different and difficulty cooked flour dishes indicate on deep 
traditions of this original cuisine.
Among flour products & noodles, which are used for cooking first and second 
courses, got a wide spread occurrence. Noodles are cooked like a soup 
(keskan-osh, suyuk-osh) with the dressing of sour milk and well melted oil; 
dried dill is added to the soup. Two similar dishes - narin and lagman – are the 
variants of thrown away noodles with seasoning. For the first of them noodles 
are cut from thin rolled out dough pieces which have been boiled in water or 
meat bouillon, then the noodles are added with boiled meat and filled up with a 
beef tea. it is significant that narin considered as a dish for important people. 
For example, in Tashkent it was served usually in those cases when only men 
gather.
Lagman - long noodles boiled in water. It is filled with gravy with a great deal of 
vegetables.
Different kinds of pelmenis are very popular. Small pelmenis with cut meat and 
onion (chuchvara) are boiled in water, and big – manti – are cooked under 
steam in special grids – kaskans.
Different patties (somsa) are peculiar to the Uzbek cuisine. They are often cooked 
from meat, which is cut into small pieces, mixed with a great deal of onion and 
strongly peppered. Patties with pumpkin and well peppered are spread.

---

Palov (also known as pilaf/plov) is a pride of Uzbek national cuisine. Being 
cooked in all dining rooms and restaurants. Men often cook this favourite meal 
among the Uzbeks.
Usually it's cooked from rice, and somewhere it is cooked from rice and mung 
bean with meat, onion and yellow carrot (for example, in Bukhara). Big amount 
of fat – vegetable or animal oil (from mutton or beef) must be added to palov.
Black and green tea is a favorite drink in Uzbekistan. It is drunk 
everywhere. Green tea, or so called “kok tea”, taken usually without sweets, 
quench one's thirst well in summer heat.
One should note, that the Uzbeks kept an immensely respectful attitude to 
bread. Children from early years are learnt to pick up every crumb, fallen on 
the ground, in order “bread was not defiled”. Bread is kept in the anteroom, 
honorable part. Only elders in the family have a right to break bread (flat 
bread "patir" is not cut).
An ability to serve meal on the dastarkhan enjoyably and gracefully is 
appreciated among the Uzbeks. Modern cultural skills and traditional national 
etiquette harmonize with new customs. So, meal is served on plates for 
everyone individually.

1. Knowledge is the legacy of the prophets,while wealth is the 
inheritance of pharao. Therefore knowledge is better than wealth.
2. You are to guide ur wealth but knowledge guides you. Hence 
knowledge is better.
3. A man of wealth has many enemies, while a man of knowledge has 
many friends. Hence knowledge is better.
4.knowledge is better because it increases by sharing,while wealth 
decreases by sharing.
5.knowledge is better because it cannot be stolen but wealth can be 
stolen.
6.knowledge is better because a learner man is generous,while a 
wealthy man is misery.
7.wealth can be numbered, while is in the reverse, so knowledge is

8.knowledge cannot be affected with time wealth can be affected. 
Hence knowledge is better.9.knowledge is better it ILLUMINATES the 
mind, while wealth is apt to BLACKEN it.10.knowledge is better 
because knowledge INDUCED the humanity in our Prophets to say to 
God, we worship Thee as we are thy servants, while wealth 
endangered, in Pharao and Namrud the vanity which made them claim 
God ahead. So knowledge is better than wealth.

Workplace etiquette
Work etiquette is a standard that controls social behavior expectations in 
the workplace. It covers a wide range of aspects among employees. 
Some of these include body language, behavior, technology use, and 
communication.
Basically, it is about how you conduct yourself around coworkers, 
potential business partners, and customers. It boils down to treating 
others with respect, to be aware of everyone present and to be polite 
overall.
Etiquette makes your work easier with and more pleasant for your fellow 
colleagues. When someone interrupts you while talking, arrives late for a 
meeting, or snatches your food from the fridge in the standard room, you 
begin to wonder how an individual could be so disrespectful. All of this 
stuff is nothing but workplace etiquette violations.
There is no universal agreement to standard workplace etiquette. It all 
depends on the office personality. However, specific proper workplace 
etiquette rules apply to almost every business.
And if you want to promote a professional and civilized environment for 
yourself and your coworkers, it is essential to adopt the etiquette rules as 
early as possible. Here are the top 8 workplace etiquette tips that 
everyone should follow.
Top 8 Workplace Etiquette Rules Everyone Should Follow.
1. Be Respectful To Your Coworkers
All of your colleagues deserve respect, even though they are not always 
respectful towards you. It's essential to learn to acknowledge other 
people's religious views, political opinions, and sexual preference. You 
don't have to agree with them all the time, but maintaining respect is 
proper etiquette.
Sharing work space with others means you'll inevitably engage in 
conversations. It is more common in open office structures. Please take it 

---

in turns, talking without having to interrupt. Encourage each person to 
complete a thought and engage in discussion.
Also, as workplaces generally keep busy, so you must honor the 
schedules of your colleagues. Before starting a conversation, make sure 
that they have the time or want to talk at that moment.
Again, when you've been requested a meeting, make sure you reach on 
time or better, arrive early. Also, resisting your personal calls during a 
meeting is a smart idea. It shows you care for them, and that they can 
count on you.
Do not indulge in rumors about other staff or the business in the office. 
Keep a safe distance between the professional and personal life of 
yourself and others too. When you're on personal time, hanging out with 
colleagues, talk of something light and positive rather than office gossip.

2. Maintain Virtual Office Etiquette
Virtual meetings have become a part of our daily work routine. It is a 
whole another story compared to in-person meetings. Here are six simple 
things that you need to follow to maintain the perfect virtual workplace 
etiquette.
Take a few minutes to get appropriately dressed and brush your hair 
before starting your day. That's the first step to be productive while 
working remotely.
When you join a virtual team meeting, speak up when you are asked to. 
Do not keep silent, but make sure not to interrupt when someone else is 
talking.
Use attentive body language if you're using your webcam. Sit up straight, 
don't make weird gestures, and don't let your eyes wander too far.
Mute your microphone when you are not talking as it will help avoid 
noises.
Make sure your work setup is professional. A messy room

---

a background, a screaming child or a barking dog can be distracting.
Consider having a snack before or after a virtual meeting.
Make proper eye contact in the camera.

Managers
3. Stay Accountable
Workers should hold responsibility for their feelings, words, and behavior, 
especially when they have made a mistake.
This personal accountability is closely related to honesty and integrity 
and is a vital element in workplace etiquette. Accountability speaks about 
your character, keeps your reputation high, and builds better workplace 
relationships.
4. Know What To Wear To Work
In modern workplaces, appearance is often combined with performance, 
and it plays a crucial role in business success.
Your professional image has exceptional value in the corporate setting. 
Not only does a professional outfit give you more confidence, but it also 
helps boost your growth and instills brand loyalty.
Having a dress code demonstrates employee equality. However, many 
companies do not have it, but you should still try to get smartly dressed.
If you're unsure what dress code will suit you, the best choice will be to 
pick a traditional business dress with colors like black, blue, grey, or 
white. Your clothes should clean, ironed, and fit you perfectly. Avoid 
wearing fancy or too many accessories. If you follow a casual Fridays, do 
not go too casual because remember, it's just another workday.
5. Understand Teamwork
Proper business etiquette is essential to building and sustaining a team 
of employees who trust, love, and value each other. It is not a good 

---

practice not to hand in your part of a project or take a personal phone call 
during a team brainstorming session.
If one person does not do his portion of the job, the other members of the 
team are compelled to take the stress. And it may create resentment 
among coworkers and productivity losses, which will ultimately cost the 
company.
6. Make Friendlier Employee Onboarding
The warm and gracious welcoming of new members of your team would 
help you stand out. Shake hands, introduce yourself to the newcomer, 
organize a team lunch, or share a cake just as a welcome treat. Offer to 
answer any questions or queries and get the conversation going for at 
least the few initial weeks. It will help them to adjust quickly and give your 
professional reputation a boost.
7. Know When It's Your Treat
Lunch meetings help you to get to know a colleague or team better. The 
rule of thumb is that if you are inviting others for a business lunch, it is 
your treat. That is, the person offering the invitation should be footing the 
bill. Make no fuss about it.
8. Filter Your Speech
For obvious reasons, a workplace is a challenging, stressful environment. 
Each worker has different aspirations, attitudes, and personalities. 
However, they together towards one common goal with different working 
styles, and thus, clashes will happen.
One easy way that you can maintain a friendly and productive workplace 
is by measuring your words. Think before you speak. Respect others' 
perspectives, don't be offensive with hitting replies, and never make 
arguments personal. Don't forget to apologize in words, whenever 
required.

Agriculture of Uzbekistan 
Uzbekistan Table of Contents
Uzbekistan has the advantages of a warm climate, a long growing 
season, and plentiful sources of water for irrigation. In the Soviet period, 
those conditions offered high and reliable yields of crops with specialized 
requirements. Soviet agricultural policy applied Uzbekistan's favorable 
conditions mainly to cotton cultivation. As Uzbekistan became a net 
exporter of cotton and a narrow range of other agricultural products, 
however, it required large-scale imports of grain and other foods that 
were not grown in sufficient quantities in domestic fields.
Organization of Agriculture
In the last decades of Soviet rule, the private agricultural sector produced 
about 25 percent of total farm output almost exclusively on the small 
private plots of collective and state farmers and nonagricultural 
households (the maximum private landholding was one-half hectare). In 
the early 1990s, Uzbekistan's agriculture still was dominated by 
collective and state farms, of which 2,108 were in operation in 1991. 
Because of this domination, average farm size was more than 24,000 
hectares, and the average number of workers per farm was more than 
1,100 in 1990. More than 99 percent of the value of agricultural 
production comes from irrigated land.
Economic Structure of Agriculture
Uzbekistan's economy depends heavily on agricultural production. As 
late as 1992, roughly 40 percent of its net material product (NMP--see 
Glossary) was in agriculture, although only about 10 percent of the 
country's land area was cultivated. Cotton accounts for 40 percent of the 
gross value of agricultural production. But with such a small percentage 
of land available for farming, the single-minded development of irrigated 
agriculture, without regard to consumption of water or other natural 
resources, has had adverse effects such as heavy salinization, erosion, 
and waterlogging of agricultural soils, which inevitably have limited the 

---

land's productivity. According to the Ministry of Land Reclamation and 
Water Resources, for example, after expansion of agricultural land under 
irrigation at a rate of more than 2 percent per year between 1965 and 
1986, conditions attributed to poor water management had caused more 
than 3.4 million hectares to be taken out of production in the Aral Sea 
Basin alone. According to other reports, about 44 percent of the irrigated 
land in Uzbekistan today is strongly salinated. The regions of Uzbekistan 
most seriously affected by salinization are the provinces of Syrdariya, 
Bukhoro, Khorazm, and Jizzakh and the Karakalpakstan Republic. 
Throughout the 1980s, agricultural investments rose steadily, but net 
losses rose at an even faster rate.
Cotton
Uzbekistan's main agricultural resource has long been its "white gold," 
the vast amounts of cotton growing on its territory. Uzbekistan always 
was the chief cotton-growing region of the Soviet Union, accounting for 
61 percent of total Soviet production; in the mid-1990s it ranks as the 
fourth largest producer of cotton in the world and the world's third largest 
cotton exporter. In 1991 Uzbekistan's cotton yield was more than 4.6 
million tons, of which more than 80 percent was classified in the top two 
quality grades. In 1987 roughly 40 percent of the workforce and more 
than half of all irrigated land in Uzbekistan--more than 2 million 
hectares--were devoted to cotton.
Other Crops
In light of increasing water shortages in Central Asia and the end of the 
Soviet distribution system that guaranteed food imports, government 
leaders have proposed reducing cotton cultivation in favor of grain and 
other food plants to feed an increasingly impoverished population. In fact, 
between 1987 and 1991 land planted to cotton decreased by 16 percent, 
mainly in favor of grains and fruits and vegetables. But Uzbekistan's 
short-term needs for hard currency make dramatic declines in cotton 
cultivation unrealistic.

Mass Media; TV or not TV; Newspapers
These commercial programmes found a home on the government-owned 
VONF after 1939. When electoral politics resumed after the Second 
World War, broadcasting played an important role in public life. The 
proceedings of the National Convention were broadcast each evening, 
allowing thousands of Newfoundlanders the opportunity to follow the 
debates on the country's future. Through this medium many people 
learned of the benefits of union with Canada and heard nationalist 
appeals for a return to Responsible Government.
Unfortunately, the wartime uses of VONF as a navigational aid, for 
propaganda and recruitment, and as a tool to coordinate the government 
services in areas without telephone service, had prevented the small 
station from revitalizing its programming and expanding its coverage. 
The BCN opened VOWN in Corner Brook in 1943, and after the war, 
VORG, a station operated in Gander by Canadian forces, was 
transferred to the Corporation. However, public circumstances prevented 
the BCN from improving their programming. The demands of recording 
and broadcasting hundreds of hours of the debates of the National 
Convention forced the Corporation to forgo advertising revenue and 
strained the resources of the small staff. After union with Canada in 1949, 
the BCN was taken over by the CBC.
Once Newfoundland became a Canadian province there were no longer 
restrictions upon the development of new radio stations. A number of 
new AM stations opened to serve new markets, and Newfoundland 
broadcasters moved into Frequency Modulation (FM) as well. The 
combination of a number of media outlets in the hands of entrepreneurs 
such as Geoff Stirling (owner of the newspaper and later television 
guide/magazine The Newfoundland Herald, NTV television station and 
OZ FM radio) became a Newfoundland example of a worldwide 
phenomenon of media concentration.
After the invention of television, radio lost its dominance of the business 
of informing, entertaining and retailing products to "the masses." Radio 
evolved into specialized formats (such as country music stations) to 
counter the competition for audience attention from television and other 
forms of entertainment, but its importance continued to erode. Radio 

---

stations increasingly played little but recorded music over the air and 
often rebroadcast programming from Canadian and American stations 
rather than produce their own programming. The CBC radio service, with 
stations and transmitters throughout the island and Labrador, has been 
an exception, providing a broad range of national and local news and 
public affairs programming. In the late 1990s, resources devoted to local 
production by the CBC were sharply reduced.
Television
Two television broadcasting systems were established in the decades 
following Confederation, the first of which was the privately-owned 
station CJON (1955). This was followed a few years later by two 
CBC-owned and -operated stations, one in Corner Brook and another in 
St. John's. These stations produced some of their own programming, but 
operated mostly as conduits that brought cultural material from Canada 
and the United States into the new province while advertising products. 
Starting in the 1970s, cable television brought an increasingly large 
number of "channels" to Newfoundland, marginalizing the programming 
produced in Newfoundland and Labrador.
"The Budgells," ca. late 1980s

The popular, fictitious family "The Budgells" were portrayed in a comedy 
skit which was regularly performed on the weekly CBC television series 
CODCO during the 1980s.

This completed a process by which people became less able to market 
their own cultural products and more firmly tied into a network that 
presented the same standardized and prepackaged culture to Pasadena, 
Newfoundland, and Pasadena, California.
While Newfoundlanders consume significant amounts of American 
entertainment programming, they remain loyal to 
Newfoundland-produced news and public affairs programming.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, mass communications media have 
always played a double-edged cultural role. While they brought in ideas 
and culture from outside Newfoundland, they also worked to cement 
Newfoundland together into a community with a shared culture and 
political life. It would thus be easy to conclude that these media fostered 
the climate that encouraged Newfoundland to join Confederation in 1949 
by making Newfoundlanders aware of the higher standard of living 
enjoyed in Canada, but such conclusions should be approached with 
caution. The areas with the greatest access to print and electronic media 

---

were also the areas that voted most heavily for a return to responsible 
government.
In the final analysis, mass media provide a vital public sphere in which 
people participate in debating and formulating political policies and social 
attitudes. But these functions are always subordinate to the task of 
creating a mass of consumers whose attention can be sold to 
advertisers.

Ancient Khiva
Tours, Attractions and Things To Do in Khiva
Probably, Khiva is the most peculiar Uzbek city. Its history is inextricably 
connected with the history of the legendary Khorezmshah’s State with its 
capital in Urgench before. Khiva is a very ancient city.
In the 10th century Khiva is mentioned as a major trading center on the 
Silk Road. All the caravans had a stop here on their way to China and 
back. From dawn to dusk, until the gates were opened, an endless 
stream of moving string of camels with baggage passed them.
At the beginning of the 16th century Khorezm State became home for 
Uzbek nomadic tribes, who founded Khive Khanate here. However, 
Khiva did not become immediately the Khanate’s capital. It happened 
only after Urgench, an existing capital, had been destroyed due to the 
change of Amu Darya’s channel. In 1598 Khiva became the main city of 
the state.
In the 19th century Russia annexed part of Khiva Khanate. One century 
later, in 1919, the last Khan was liquidated of the ruling dynasty. So Khiva 
became the capital of the new Khorezm Soviet People's Republic. In 
1924 territories of Khorezm oasis became a part of modern Uzbekistan 
and Turkmenistan.
Legend about Khiva
There are many interesting legends that tells about the origin of 
Khiva. Allegedly, the city grew around the well Hewvakh, with tasty and 
cool water. The well was dug by the order of Shem, the elder son of 
Biblical Noah. Today one can see this well in the old part of Khiva, 
Itchan-Kala.
Khiva - a unique city, rightfully claiming the title of "the seventh wonder of 
the world", thanks to its authentic atmosphere of the 'era of the beginning 
of time. " Most of the city of Khiva is similar to the open-air museum. And 
the nucleus of this museum - castle Itchan-Kala. It is inside this fortress 
concentrated all the architectural masterpieces of Khiva. Everyone who

Khiva History
Khiva, one of the most noteworthy of the cities and towns of Central Asia, 
is situated on the left bank of the Amu Darya in the southern part of the 
modern region of Khorezm in Uzbekistan. It is a unique monument town, 
completely preserved in the cultural style of the region. In 1967 it was 
proclaimed a town-reserve and since 1990 one part of Khiva — the 
Itchan-Kala — was recognized by UNESCO as an historical monument of 
world significance.

Person who motivated me to choose my
profession
PERSON WHO MOTIVATED ME TO CHOOSE MY PROFESSION
These days, if you’re a leader of any type, you can’t simply order people 
around and expect them to do what you want. They may follow your 
directions, if you are watching, but once they’re left on their own they’ll go 
back to doing what they think is important.
Leaders today, more than ever before, have to win people’s cooperation. 
And there are two main ways of doing so: motivation and inspiration. 
Although the two words are often used interchangeably, they actually 
mean quite different things – depending on what you want to achieve.
When coaches give their teams a pep talk during halftime, they are using 
motivation. They want their players to charge back onto the field or the 
court with renewed energy and focus, even though they may be too tired 
or disheartened to try. Their reward? Victory.
Leaders don’t ask people to do what they themselves aren’t willing to do. 
Don’t tell your people to work over the weekend if you’ve got plans for a 
spa day. Roll up your sleeves and share the load.
Fear focuses people’s attention and can be an effective motivator. (“If we 
don’t get this done right now, we’ll all lose our jobs.”) But if you keep 
resorting to fear, you’ll end up de-motivating people. People are also 
motivated by-and prefer to be motivated by-positive emotions like 
excitement, pride, a sense of belonging, and the thrill of achievement.
Inspiration, on the other hand, involves changing the way people think 
and feel about themselves so that they want to take positive actions. It 
taps into people’s values and desires.
Commencement speakers – the best ones, at least – inspire their 
audiences. They talk about the challenges the graduates will face, either 
personally or collectively, and the possibilities of making a difference. 
Inspiration appeals to the best aspirations of people, and its underlying, 
often unspoken message is “You can become what you want to be.” No 
reward is promised, other than the reward that comes from within: the 
sense of personal satisfaction.
Motivation and inspiration are not the sole province of professional 
speakers and preachers. They’re tools leaders use all the time – in 
one-on-one conversations, in meetings and in formal presentations – to 
bring out the best in their people. It’s just a matter of knowing the right 
time and the right situation.

When there’s an immediate, short-term and specific goal that you want 
your people to achieve, you need to motivate them. When you want to 
shape people’s identity and their long-term aspirations and commitments, 
you need to inspire them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the French aviator and author of “The Little 
Prince”, wrote, “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to 
gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to 
yearn for the vast and endless sea.” Sometimes you need to do both. You 
need to enlist and organize people to do a specific task-to build a ship 
according to specs, on time and on budget-and sometimes you need to 
activate people’s desires and stand aside. Who knows, you may be 
surprised by what they do.
As an executive speech coach with more than 25 years of professional 
experience, Chris Witt is author of the newly released book, “Real 
Leaders Don’t Do PowerPoint,” and founder of Witt Communications. He 
helps CEOs gain board approval and company-wide support for 
initiatives. Chris also empowers newly promoted managers and 
entrepreneurs to grow their businesses through the power of effective 
speaking and presenting. In addition, he works with technical experts to 
simplify their presentations to win multi-million dollar contracts
