The Aktau (“White”) Mountains, located in the Altyn Emel National Park in the south-east of Kazakhstan in Almaty Oblast, arose on the territory where the waters of an ancient ocean used to splash in the era when dinosaurs inhabited the Earth. They are about 400 million years old.

These colorful chalky hills, formed from bluish-gray sandstone and red clay, interspersed with yellow and pink cornelian, jasper and white quartz, reminiscent of a layer cake. These lifeless slopes, made of fragile rocks, intricately cut by erosion, are so unusual that it is impossible to take your eyes off them. Photos by: Sergey Terekhov.

Over the years, gambling in Kazakhstan has undergone several transformations. Kazakhstan has witnessed changes in the gambling industry from early Czarist Russia up to 2007 when new laws were passed that banned gambling in most of the regions. Nevertheless, there are legal means to play casino games or bet online. Many of the minimum deposit casinos that are available in Canada, can also be accessed by gamers from Kazakhstan. These offshore betting websites offer low deposit bonuses, casino games, and much more.

Besides, the public perception of this hobby has gradually changed due to different circumstances. These include changes in legislation, the portrayal of gambling in media, and society in general. These factors have defined the current trends of gambling in Kazakhstan.

Manchester City Academy is about to become the best in the world, and it’s proven by the facts.

The Manchester City FC Academy is widely regarded as one of the best in world football for its breakthrough approach to training, attention to detail and high standards of talent development. It has produced outstanding results in recent years, most notably with its U18 and U21 teams, which have been crowned Premier League champions in their respective age categories for three seasons in a row. This not only confirms the high level of training of the players, but also serves as an indicator of the successful operation of the entire club system.

Not all players who graduate from the academy find their place in the Manchester City first team, but the club has a unique ability to profitably market its students. Over the last three transfer windows, City have managed to earn approximately €170 million by selling players coming out of their academy. Particularly notable is the sale of Cole Palmer to Chelsea for €47 million, a prime example of a successful transfer strategy.
