Avalon Historico-Geographical Society is a noncommercial non-governmental Kazakhstani organization. The main purpose of the Society is to popularize and propagandize scientific knowledge of history and geography. The Society promotes development of traveling and unites people whose main interest and purpose of life is cognition of the world. Avalon HGS also disposes a great deal of information concerning traveling around Kazakhstan and will readily help to all persons interested.
Avalon Historico-Geographical Society was established in Karaganda, Kazakhstan on July 22, 2004 (the date of official registration by justice authorities) and is public association. Avalon HGS was established by a group of like-minded people interested in traveling, history and geography, for realization of various projects that demand united efforts. The institution that rules our Society is an Executive committee, headed by the President. The President of the Society is Vitaliy Vladimirovich Shuptar.
Everyone is welcome to join the Society and has the possibility to participate in its projects. Any person living in Kazakhstan or abroad can be a member of the Society. At the present moment Society membership doesn’t demand any entrance fee. A person, who is longing for joining Avalon historico-geographical society, should put in an application addressed to the President. The form of application can be downloaded at the web-site of the Society.
During existence of the Avalon HGS the following expeditionary projects were realized:
Expedition to the Northern Tien-Shan (Kazakhstan-Kyrgyzstan, July 2004). Vitaliy Shuptar, Alexander Yermolyonok and Yevgeniy Yermolyonok went from the city of Almaty to the Issyk-Kul lake via the Zailiyskiy Alatau and Kunghey Alatoo mountain ranges. The sketch, written by Vitaliy Shuptar and telling about expedition, is called ‘Million steps for the three of us’ and available both in Russian and English.
Expedition to the Himalayas (Nepal, October-November 2004). Vitaliy Shuptar and Dmitriy Ulybyshev did the trek in the Annapurna Sanctuary Region of Nepal. The sketch, written by Vitaliy Shuptar and telling about expedition, is called ‘The land of nonrandom meetings or Ringed by Annapurna’ and available both in Russian and English.
Expedition to the Xinjiang-Uigur Authonomous Region (China, August-September 2006). Vitaliy Shuptar and Alexander Yermolyonok crossed the Western Tien-Shan mountains and the Takla-Makan desert from the city of Urumqi to Kashgar. The sketch, written by Vitaliy Shuptar and telling about expedition, is called ‘All winds blow to Kashgar’ and available in Russian.
At the same time the Society is realizing and planning a great number of projects related to the promotion of Kazakhstan to the world market of tourist services. The first ones among them are the books for foreign tourists who plan to visit Kazakhstan.
Avalon Kazakhstan eBook was issued in November 2006. This eBook tells about the country (history, geography, climate, geology, ecology, flora and fauna, nature preserves and national parks, population, national clothes and jewelry, customs and ceremonies, musical instruments, religion, holidays, political structure, economy, Kazakhstan entry requirements, sojourn at the territory of the country, customs regulations, currency control and exchange, post, telephone and mobile communications, Internet, prices, accommodation, food, maps and navigation, health and hygiene, legal matters, information on regions of the country, the most important cities and the most interesting sights of all corners of the country and many other important and interesting information) and contains about 150 photos describing the life of modern Kazakhstan. The eBook, written in English, is a digital product and is being sold in electronic form via the web-site www.kazakhstan-online.net.
Avalon Kazakhstan Guide-book (printed edition) is planned to be issued in 2007. This book also written in English will combine practical and cognitive information about Kazakhstan that will allow a foreign tourist to make a complete and trustworthy opinion about our country as well as any city or organization. This Guide-book being compiled according to thematic-regional principle and combining useful matters with pleasant one, will contain the information which is necessary both for independent traveler and a person, intending to visit our country in organized way. Alongside with the information given in Avalon Kazakhstan eBook, the printed edition will contain a great deal of other information, including important GPS-coordinates, chapter about transport system of Kazakhstan, detailed information on accommodation, meals and entertainments in all big Kazakhstani cities, resorts, and places close to major tourist objects (with the addresses, telephone numbers, e-mails and web-sites), articles about orientation in all big cities of Kazakhstan, schematic maps of all large cities of the country, as well as the schemes of mountainous regions and the most interesting architectural constructions and the survey of Kazakhstani Internet-sites.
Web-site of the Society (www.guide.kz) exists only in Russian version at present, but English one is planned in the near future.

Sisyfos minigolfclub was created in August 2005 by three young artist from Oslo, namely
Hans E. Thorsen, Espen Henningsen & Lars Kjemphol.
The clubs name draws on the well-known myth of Sisyphus who was condemned to roll a giant rock up a mountain for all of eternity.
Therefore, Sisyfos minigolf is a very difficult sport. All sisyfos courses are built to be almost impossible.
The players are supposed to maintain a hope of making it, but this is going to require a lot of time, or great amounts of luck. If one makes it at all the ball always comes back to start, ready for the player to start all over again.
Sisyfos minigolfclub is a open club, this means that anyone who wants can join the club,can contact the board, and get their t-shirt, membercard and build their own impossible minigolfcourses.
Theese minigolf courses are made to be hybrids of sport and art. At the one hand, they are sculptures that illustrates Sisyphus’s struggle in various forms. But at the same time, they are also fully functional minigolfcourses that allows partisipants to take part in the Sisyfos experience of endless hours of minigolf.
Sisyfos minigolfclub is mainly inspired by Albert Camus famous essay, "The myth of Sissyphus."
In this essay Camus is arguing that life itself is absurd and without meaning.
In extention of this, he claims that suicide should be something for eweryone to consider as a opertunety to living just based on habits.
At the end of the book he gets to the Myth of Sisyphus. He compares the myth of Sisyphus to the life of a normal person.
As Sisyphus we all wake up, go to work, go to bed, and wake up the next day starting all over again.
Sisyphuses whole world revolves around the work with his stone. His everlasting struggle to the top of the mountain, his hope of his tournament to end, and at last his dissapointment at the top, when his stone once again tipps over and rolls to the bottom of the mountain.
But, Camus claims, at the last sentence: "Maybe the daily work, the constant struggle for the higts is enough to fill a mans heart. To give his life meaning"

Sandal (Santalum album. L), a semi-root parasitic tree is the source of the East Indian sandalwood and oil. Spike disease caused by phytoplasma is the major disease of sandal. The disease is noticed in all major sandal-growing states of India. Spike disease is characterized by extreme reduction in leaf size accompanied by stiffening and reduction of internode length. In advanced stage, the entire shoot gives the appearance of a spike inflorescence. Spiked trees die within 1–2 years after the appearance of visible symptoms. The pathogen, sandal spike phytoplasma, was first detected by electron microscopy in 1969. Phytoplasmas are pleomorphic and fragile organisms occupying relatively small areas within the sieve tubes (phloem) of the host plants. The major obstacle limiting research on phytoplasma disease is that the organism has not so far been isolated and cultivated in vitro.
Sandal spike phytoplasma is a pleomorphic microorganism and are the smallest organism capable of independent replication (ie., does not need a host). The pathogen is around 0.4 to 1.0 micrometer in diameter, has a cell membrane, ribosome and DNA. The amino acids cysteine, methionine and tryptophan are absent in sandal spike phytoplasma [1].
Detection of sandal spike phytoplasma
For non-specific detection of sandal spike phytoplasma by light microscopy Giemsa and Dienes’ stain are employed. Aniline blue, Hoechst 33258 and DAPI stain are used in the non-specific detection by fluorescence microscopy [2]
Scientists at Kerala Forest Research Institute, India had reported employing the polymerase chain reaction technique for detecting sandal spike phytoplasma [3]. The pathogen belongs to group I of the major phytoplasma groups.
For raising polyclonal antibody against sandal spike phytoplasma, the pathogen was purified by differential filtration technique [1]. The antibody could detect the pathogen by ELISA, Dot Immuno Binding Assay [1] and Immuno electron microscopy [4].
