Traditions associated with childbirth in Uzbekistan are based on the merging of traditions of the various ethnic groups which together form the Uzbek population. If the first child is a girl, it is believed that seven generations of her family will live in prosperity and a “Beshik Tuyi” is held after 7 days following the birth. When the child begins to walk by itself, the ceremony of “Oyek turi” is held. In the Bausun, Sherabad, Altynsay, Denau, and Sariasiya regions, this rite is called “Tushov Kesdi”. A date is fixed and the child is dressed in new clothes. A thin thread (“Toshov”) of cotton yarn is tied to the child's feet, without impeding the child's movement. In the presence of the guests, the child begins to walk and, with the words “tushov kesildi, tushov kesildi,” the thread is cut with scissors by an elders. The baby is showered with coins, sweets, and what is called “sachala”- “sochki”.
Special ceremonies
A traditional rite of sunnat (khatna) tuyi is carried out when a child is in an odd number of years; i.e., when 3, 5, 7 years of age, and in some cases when the child is older.
Depending on the capabilities, kurash and kupkari with the prizes were held on the Sunnat tuys. A close relatives ascended to the roof of the house and showered the boy with money and sweets from there. There were songs, melodies, epics, the men sang “Heyr”, women- “Lo-o-lo”.
In some villages in Northern Surkhan, “Utin yigar” (collecting some wood for housekeeping) events are carried before the rite in which the boys divide into groups and go to the mountains and gather wood. Then, the one who gets the most firewood is awarded the prize. Men responsible for the activity are assigned close friends and relatives for various services. In order to make the event successful and to honor the memory of ancestors, they read “Khatmi Kuran” first.
Uzbek people have a saying: “Tuyga tuyona bilan”, meaning to come to the wedding with a gift. Wedding expenses are generally significant and the tuyona (wedding gift) is the material support from the friends and relatives.

7 Seconds of Love was an English ska/2 Tone band, fronted by musician and animator Joel Veitch that writes and plays songs with often nonsensical lyrics. Veitch animates many videos of the band's songs, such as "Ninja" and "First Drink of the Day". Some songs have had videos directed by guitarist Pat Schulenburg, such as their most recent production "Twister". The band regularly tours the United Kingdom.
The band's first official single was "Twister" as an iTunes exclusive, and they then released "Love Me Like You Used To" and "Ninja" as a double A-side single. Originally the MP3's of these tunes were available free, but these are new, fully re-recorded versions available for sale.
The song "Soupy George" has also inspired fans of the band to turn up at gigs wearing soup cans (either real, empty tins of soup or artistic representations) on their heads.
The band's debut album, Danger is Dangerous, was released in September 2008.
In April 2013, singer Joel Veitch announced on Twitter that the band would no longer be playing live, due to "kids and moves and stuff".
In March 2020, singer Joel Veitch commented saying that 7 Seconds of Love is "Not as Such Together"
