Country Report Russia
Country Report
The Russian economy is forecasted to shrink by around 4% in 2015, after a contraction of 0.6% in 2014, due to the fall in the oil prices and the imposition of sanctions. The outlook for the coming years also remains bleak due to low investor confidence and a tightening of the government's control over the country.
Strengths (+) and weaknesses (-)
(+) Strong external position
Russia has a net international investment surplus, a vast amount of FX-reserves which covers 12 months of imports (2014) and an has been running trade and current account surpluses for years in a row. We note however that Russia's external position has significantly weakened in the past year.
(+) Strong fiscal position
Russia has a low government debt of only around 10% of GDP.
(-) Weak governance and weak rule of law
Corruption is deeply embedded phenomenon, severely hindering the business environment, especially (but not only) for foreign investors.
(-) High dependence on single commodity export revenues
The oil and gas sector dominates the economy by making up 2/3 of total exports and contributing nearly 1/3 to GDP. Government revenues are highly susceptible to global oil price fluctuations.
Key developments
1. Weak short term economic outlook
While even before the conflict in eastern Ukraine erupted economic growth in Russia already slowed down to just 1.3% in 2013, the combination of sanctions, low oil prices and the resulting deteriorating of economic sentiment have taken a big hit on the economy. According to various estimates the economy is going to contract by 3.4%-4% (IMF -3.4%, Central Bank of Russia -4%) in 2015, after growing by just 0.6% in 2014. This would be mainly caused by a contraction in the domestic demand as depreciation of the ruble and an inflation of 15.8% (May 2015) had a strong hit on real wages (-9% yoy, March 2015). This in its turn impacted consumer spending, which decreased by 8.7 % yoy in March 2015. Meanwhile, Ministry of Economic Development in its base case expects investment to contract by 10.6% this year. The 2015 budget deficit is estimated at roughly 3.7% of GDP (compared to the previously planned figure of 0.6%) and will be financed with funds accumulated in the Reserve Fund (USD 77bn as of 1 March 2015). According to the latest data, Russian economy has already contracted by 2.4% (yoy) in the first 4 months of this year. However, both the Central Bank of Russia and IMF forecast that the recession will be short lived and the economy will start to grow slightly in 2016. These rather optimistic forecasts are driven by the faster than expected recovery of the oil prices that is positively impacting the ruble exchange rate, as well as a slightly faster retreat of inflation. However, any adverse change in above mentioned parameters or any escalation of the conflict in eastern Ukraine could lead to weaker or even negative growth.
2. Renewed fighting in eastern Ukraine undermines recent stabilization of the economy
Russia's alleged involvement in the conflict in eastern Ukraine has largely determined the country's economic and political trends in the past year. A major milestone was achieved in February 2015, when the Minsk Peace protocol (also known as Minsk II) was signed. Its main goal was establishing a ceasefire combined with a removal of heavy weaponry from the front lines. Fighting indeed eased this spring, although international observers regularly noted minor violations on both sides. The western stance towards Russia remained wary. In March US decided to extend current sanctions impacting Russia's finance, defense and energy industries by one more year. In April, the EU came out with the statement that the removal of its sanctions would be tied to the full implementation of the Minsk peace agreement, despite the negative sentiment towards the sanctions of certain member states (e.g. Greece, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria). It appeared to be quiet at the front lines until the beginning of June, when fighting unexpectedly intensified in Donetsk region. This has assured EU in necessity of officially extending the sanctions till at least January 2016, and the risk that new sanctions will be imposed has increased.
3. Ruble crisis: free fall reversed, however the currency is still fragile
In autumn 2014, the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) intervened heavily in the foreign exchange (FX)-market to support the ruble. Due to the imposition of sanctions, falling oil prices and restricted access to international capital markets, the ruble was under strong downward pressure. In November 2014, the CBR decided to let the ruble float freely. As a result the ruble continued to depreciate, falling to RUB 70/USD in January 2015, while the FX reserves decreased by nearly USD 150bn in just one year. Afterwards, supported by rising oil price and the conclusion of the Minsk Peace agreement, the ruble began to appreciate and stabilized as of April 2015 at the level of RUB 50/USD. In response to the positive dynamics, the CBR has further lowered the interest rate to 12.5% (from 17% in December) and announced to start rebuilding its reserves with daily purchases of USD 200m as of mid-May 2015. Pressure on the FX reserves (currently at around USD 356bn), as well as on the banking system, has thus been eased. At current levels, FX reserves cover more than 100% of the 2015 debt service, as well as 10 months of the 2015 imports. Nevertheless, the ostensible stability has proven to be rather fragile and highly sensitive to oil price developments and an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. In the beginning of June the ruble exchange rate immediately fell by 5% in a couple of days when oil prices slightly decreased and fighting in eastern Ukraine intensified.
4. Banking sector remains under pressure
Russian banks rely heavily on external financing, most of which is dollar denominated. The depreciation of the ruble and restricted access to the international capital markets have left Russian banks highly vulnerable. Capital ratios came under pressure as the non-performing loans ratio has increased, while due to depreciation banks were required to increase their capital buffers (i.e. in ruble terms) for assets denominated in foreign currencies. In December 2014, three large banks (Gazprombank, VTB and National Trust Bank) received a capital injection from the government of around USD 7.5bn in total. Currently planned consolidation in the industry takes place as 19 licenses have been recalled from the beginning of this year. Current regulatory relaxations for loan-loss provisions and asset valuation were meant to last until the 1 July this year. But in May 2015 the Central Bank of Russia bank extended the relaxation relating to loan-loss provisions until the 1 October 2015, and introduced revised (still lower than actual) exchange rates for valuation of banks' risk-weighted assets denominated in foreign currencies, in order to release the pressure on capital ratios. This clearly indicates that the banks have not weathered the storm well. However, the Central Bank of Russia remains committed to extend support should the banking sector be hit by new adverse developments.
5. The government continues tightening its controls
Besides the (indirect) effects from the sanctions, the business climate in Russia also seems to be affected by the government's efforts to centralize its control over strategic industries. The tactics employed by the Russian state are rather alarming. In October 2014, the Moscow arbitration court ruled that Sistema Group (Russia's largest holding company) should transfer its 82% stake in Bashneft (one of the largest independent oil producing companies) to the Russian state. This outcome was a result of a lawsuit brought by the Russian state against Sistema's chair and co-owner Vladimir Yevtushenkov, who was accused of the acquisition of "unlawfully privatized" Bashneft assets at an artificially low price, while being aware of underpaying. Sistema did not appeal the decision. This case clearly reflects the twisted reality in which Russian businesses operate, as the state often arbitrarily and not always lawfully intervenes in the private sector of the economy.
Furthermore, two important laws aimed at tightening capital controls entered into force per 1st of January 2015. One of them obliges Russian citizens who hold accounts in foreign banks to quarterly share their bank statements (notary certified translations) with the tax authorities back home. Another federal law amending the Tax Code subjects Russian controlled, but foreign registered entities to Russian tax regulation. In response, several major Russian companies have moved their assets back to Russia.
Background information
Since the break-up of the USSR in 1991, Russia has shifted its post-Soviet democratic ambitions in favour of a centralized semi-authoritarian state. Russia's economy has undergone significant changes since 1991, moving from an isolated, centrally-planned economy to a more market-based and globally-integrated economy. In the 1990s most important industries were privatized, whereby strategic state assets ended up in hands of a small group of individuals for a fraction of the real value, creating an oligarchic economy where the wealthy few had also considerable influence in the Kremlin. However, since 2000, the power balance gradually began to shift and currently Kremlin maintains a firm grip on this elite. However, according to most indicators governance standards have deteriorated in the past decade and corruption remains deeply embedded on all levels, posing a challenge for businesses and individuals. Currently Russia is still in the top 10 largest economies in the world. Demographics remain unfavorable, as the population of Russia has shrunk by 6mn since 1992 driven by lower birth rate, one of the lowest male life expectancies in Europe and immigration. The Russian labor force is skilled, but there are shortages especially in management and engineering. While the level of infrastructure varies throughout the country, the roads are generally poor. Although the country's economy is somewhat diversified, the non-energy sector is largely uncompetitive. Therefore, the economy is overly dependent on commodities production, particularly on the oil and gas sector that constitutes 2/3 of the total exports. To sustain economic growth in the longer term, Russia has to find ways to diversify its economy away from the hydrocarbon sector, especially by improving the business climate.

Trump is Using Twitter to Distract the Media. We Need to Pay Attention.
The President-elect is steering the media away from credible exposés, by using 140 character thought bubbles.
On 11 November, three days after Donald Trump won the electoral college vote to become the President-Elect of the United States of America, Charles Pierce at Esquire wrote a piece titled 'This Story Should Dominate the News Until Trump Is Sworn In'. In it, Pierce highlights a piece of information that flew under the radar in the media; this is included below:
"The statement came from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who said in an interview with the state-run Interfax news agency that "there were contacts" with the Trump team. "Obviously, we know most of the people from his entourage," Ryabkov said. ""We have just begun to consider ways of building dialogue with the future Donald Trump administration and channels we will be using for those purposes," Ryabkov was quoted as saying. Ryabkov provided no further details, and his remarks drew a swift denial from Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks, who said the campaign had "no contact with Russian officials" before Tuesday's election."
This information, first publicised in The Washington Post, went largely unnoticed at the time it was aired. Some would say this is understandable; the news became available on the 10th, two days after the election, and many were still reeling from the result, whilst the media focused on the reaction of the public and other world leaders to a Trump victory. Pierce, however, insists that this news should be just of much of a focus within the mainstream media as "was devoted to the breaking news about what John Podesta had for lunch last year."
Read: How the World is Reacting to Trump's Win
Of course, Pierce is right. Communication between a head of state and a state-run news agency from which we would normally expect pointed hostility, is far more important and significant to public interests than the sizzling selfies of Disney's latest exiled starlet. The problem lies with whether or not the story that might change the world can reach us, in amongst all the rubbish.
Video blogger Evan Puschack, creator of the successful Youtube channel Nerdwriter, recently published a video in which he analyses the way in which Trump has a habit of flying off the handle when the media starts to scrutinise him. The video, titled 'Donald Trump: Magician-In-Chief' uses the example of a New York Times piece titled 'Potential Conflicts Around the Globe for Trump, the Businessman President' . This article outlines in granular detail the potential conflicts of interest, between Trump's business interests and ventures around the world, and how this could interfere with his responsibilities as President. The piece was scrutinising, to say the least. It was thorough, and hard to argue with.
The next day, Donald Trump made a statement on Twitter claiming that 'millions of people' voted illegally during the election, and this had impacted the voting results. The claim was not backed up by any supporting evidence, nor did the President-Elect pursue this line of enquiry any further.
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016
Puschack claims that the timing of this tweet is an example of 'selective attention'. When the President-elect is at risk, he shoots from the hip, with an unsubstantiated claim with massive implications. This, in turn, arrests media coverage and pulls all focus away from the threatening press that preceded it, in this case, the conflicts of interest piece.
Indeed, in turned out that the suspicious circumstances regarding the US election results came to be largely centered around Trump – for him, rather than against. Over the last month the FBI has delved into Russia's involvement in the US election, and revealed hacking behaviours that favoured a Trump victory.
In December, journalism delivered what you might call a one-two punch, in the form of two articles which painted Trump's validity as President in a very sinister light indeed. 'Spy vs. spy: The CIA says Russia hacked the election to help Trump — and we know the FBI did', published by Salon.com on 12 December, painted the Russian involvement in the election with explicit implications. The article did what it said on the tin, it was a honest analysis pointing to post-WW2 Soviet behaviour and pulling no punches.
This was followed by an article published by The New York Times on 13 December, titled 'The Perfect Weapon: How Russian Cyberpower Invaded the U.S.'. The article included statements by people such as Admiral Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency and commander of United States Cyber Command, who said that Russia's involvement was "a conscious effort by a nation-state to attempt to achieve a specific effect."
The next day, mainstream coverage in the US was halted in the middle of the day by reports that rapper Kanye West was visiting the President-elect at Trump Tower. West had been off the grid for three weeks following reports he had been hospitalised following severe mental health issues. This was the first appearance of West, in a meeting that Trump later explained to the press involved him and West talking about "life". Details of the meeting are still not clear.
Whether intentionally or not, this behaviour by the President-elect again drew all focus away from the serious accusations that had built up in the 48 hours prior to the meeting. Political conversation stood still, and a near-frenzy of speculation followed the non-event. When 24 hour news networks are handed a headline, it's hard to ignore.
What is clear in these scenarios is that stories that don't appeal to a base desire for celebrity, mystery or potential drama fall behind when these stories do appear. Coverage in the media, as we know it today, especially in the sense of online journalism, is not even. Furthermore, it's highly likely that Trump, at least in some way, does understand the way that the 'read all about it' news model – seen particularly in US news networks such as Fox and MSNBC – operates.
Last week saw what was probably the first story related to the Russian hacking scandal that gained any kind of decent 'airtime', if that can be defined these days. Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats from the US, in retaliation for the hacking. This is gaining ground in terms of moving towards full exposure for the story, as all major news outlets covered the story in detail, most likely because the move provoked a response from the Kremlin, with a Putin spokesperson claiming that Russia would 'consider retaliatory measures'.
Despite some coverage of the stories that – subjectively – 'matter', President-elect Trump has still somehow managed to build a monopoly on the American conscious, using only his smartphone. To give some idea of just how broad his influence could be, the average viewership of NBC, CBS, and ABC combined, was 23 million in 2015 (Journalism.org). Trump's Twitter following at the time of writing is 18 million.
The United States is about to be taken under the wing of perhaps its most impulsive leader in modern history. Throughout his career, especially leading up to the election, he has flashed a personality which is independent, but at the cost of any identifiable ethics or possession of the basic pool of knowledge which comes part and parcel with most world leaders. By accessing a near-infinite pool of news professionals looking for sparks rather than substance, it will take deliberate resistance by the media in order to tell the truth. What's clear is that the reaction by the media, and indeed a significant percentage of the public, has given Trump no cause to back down from his inflammatory stance on our world. By becoming a caricature of himself, he can tell the story how we wants, and we shall write it.

Day 28
Saturday … 30th … There is sun albeit a very cold wind is again taking the limelight
I was first up this morning, had showered and my hand washing was done and on the cloth line before the others ventured out, there wasn't a lot planned, just a catch up shopping trip before lunch.
We weren't home long when Norma's friends Dot and Bert arrived, Dot to chat and Bert to get into the hothouse where he discovered much to his delight, I had repotted a tray of snow peas out next to a bamboo curtain attached to the outside of the hot house, in the hopes that they would climb there. Norma has started taking a great interest out there, in the last few day she has been busy repotting some seedlings and planting others.
This afternoon Susan, Pat and I went off to Walton in Liverpool to meet up with some of Pat's family from her Mum's side. Norma refuses to come as she feels she was slighted by them a while back. It turned out to be rather a fun afternoon watching Pat getting to know the family members she hadn't seen for over sixty years, and for Susan meeting distant cousins for the very first time.
For Pat being the instigator of the get-together it was a highly emotional time, she had been tracing her family tree diligently for years, then contacting each one she could find on facebook, renewing family ties with the hopes of someday meeting up with them again, and this possibly being her last trip back to her homeland it was somewhat surreal that it had actually come to fruition.
Being that, not only was I unrelated to, nor had had any sort of contact with all those waiting to greet us, I found it very interesting observing the reactions and body language as we entered their home. considering both Susan and Patricia were relatives, albeit never having had any contact with them other than on Pat's F/B page. As expected it took a little while for everybody to relax and feel comfortable enough to be themselves around the newcomers in their midst,.
It wasn't long until the conversations started to flow naturally thus generating a wave of warmth and friendship that I could sense filtering through the collective group that made it fun to be part of this family reunion.
By the time we had to take our leave, so many questions had been asked and answered, opening the way for new family links to be forged while others were strengthened with promises to keep in touch. On the way home Susan and Pat reminisced about their discoveries and feelings in becoming newly acquainted with this branch of their family, while I dozed quietly in the back seat.
I was so tuckered out that as soon as I sat down in to lounge I was struggling to keep my eyes open so did the only sensible thing, I wished all a good night and went off to bed. I heard the next morning Pat had done the same thing a few minutes later.

Many kinds of ground decorative materials, including: carpet, vinyl flooring, mosaic, tile, foam nature composite wood fence tiles, stone, etc., compared with the wooden floors, or wood flooring bigger advantage. Let's see: concrete now many people feel at home too earth with cement floor, no taste is not that also make the whole house appear very dim light. And the concrete floor is not easy to take care of cleaning up very cumbersome. But turnip cabbage all have love, it was felt that the use of cement floor price is relatively cheap to say, the use of the ground will also have to worry about scratching, but also to avoid the wooden floors might be caused by the indoor environment pollution, is the healthiest, most return to natural decorative products. Lift the carpet carpet will be reminiscent of the Persian Gulf and the kind of exotic comfortable and slightly extravagant lifestyle. Color and pattern has always been an expression of carpet publicize their practices, blanket, nice wool blankets to meet your most demanding requirements. A carpet in price from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Beautiful carpet needs vacuuming regularly, each year to a professional carpet cleaning company cleaning. If it is pure wool carpets, but also to prevent moth invasion. Although housing decoration floor leather basically do not have vinyl flooring, but the former "Heroes" does have its advantages. A wide range of vinyl flooring, patterns, colors are not the same, some use deck screws on wood shades composite fence as well as its embossed effect, a choice great. Especially foam leather gives a comfortable feeling of elegance. Now the mainstream non-woven vinyl flooring is the end, the price is generally set at 8 yuan -10 yuan / square meter, down a lot more than a few years ago prices. But the fatal flaw vinyl flooring is the product contains a number of heavy metals and limited material, if the content exceeded, will cause indoor air pollution. Solid wood flooring in the home improvement like to use wood floor, then, the first thought is certainly solid wood flooring, because it is the most traditional, most popular, the most popular floor. Just think of it, there is the urge to sleep on the floor on hard floors. Solid wood flooring foot feeling good, clear texture, natural color and bright, but the hardness somewhat less likely to be scratched. And because it is natural, so the larger the texture, color difference, need to beat the pavement wooden keel, the price is relatively high. When you purchase, try to pick timber of stable species, to avoid distortion.

text: Danny Baker is fired by the BBC for racist tweet likening royal baby to a monkey Share Facebook Share With Your Friends Author: Olawande Date: May 09, 2019 Like and Share User Email Microphone English comedian, Danny Baker, 61, has been sacked from his job after he shared a racist tweet likening Meghan and Harry's baby to a monkey. Shortly after The Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced their newborn son to the world, Danny Baker took to Twitter to share a photo of a monkey dressed in a suit outside a hospital with a man and woman by his sides (read here). "Royal baby leaves hospital," he captioned the photo. This caused outrage and he was called out for likening the royal baby to a monkey because his mother is half black. He immediately deleted the tweet and issued an apology, claiming his intention wasn't to be racist. But the BBC Radio 5 Live host was fired from his position due to the controversial tweet. He revealed this in a tweet this morning writing: "Just got fired from @bbcradio5live." The BBC released a statement with regards to his sacking, saying: "This was a serious error of judgment and goes against the values we as a station aim to embody. "Danny's a brilliant broadcaster but will no longer be presenting a weekly show with us." In an email to staff on Thursday morning, 5 Live controller Jonathan Wall wrote: "I have just spoken to Danny Baker and let him know that he will no longer be presenting his weekly show with us. "Danny made a serious error of judgement on social media last night and it goes against the values we live and breathe on this radio station. "Danny has been a brilliant broadcaster for us and I want to thank him for his work with us on Saturday mornings over the last few years." Danny Baker is now blasting BBC bosses for giving in to the people's outrage and calls to fire him. The 61-year-old said he had been "literally thrown under the bus" as he was fired over the phone this morning in what he described as a "masterclass of pompous faux-gravity." Speaking to Daily Mail from his house this morning, he insisted he's not racist. He told MailOnline: "I put up a silly photo for a joke. It was monkey in a top hat or something. I would have put it up for anyone. I apologised and I took it down when it was pointed out. Once I realised [that it was offensive] I took it down." Asked if he is a racist the BBC 5 Live broadcaster replied: "No of course I'm not a racist. Not in the slightest. It was obviously a mistake. I have made a full apology. Yes of course I've made a full apology. I put up silly pictures all the time. But that's all. I think even you must realise that it was a mistake. "I'm shocked at my own foolishness." Below are tweets from web users calling for Danny to be fired. The post Danny Baker is fired by the BBC for racist tweet likening royal baby to a monkey appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

We have a systematic approach to the teaching of phonics at Woodland. We use the 'Letters and Sounds' materials to support the children's development in phonics and this introduced to our children in Nursery with early phonic games and is then consistently built upon throughout EYFS / KS 1 and KS 2 where needed. Support for spelling is taught in latter KS 1 and KS 2 where appropriate. To maximise progress the children are set across their Key Stage, according to the Phase of Letters and Sounds they are working on and they receive a daily 20 minute focussed phonics session. Children are assessed regularly and groupings are altered accordingly. In Years 1 and 2 children bring home spellings to practise linked to the phase and week they are currently working on.
There are 44 phonemes (sounds) that the children learn throughout the Letters and Sounds Programme.
Correct pronunciation of phonemes is very important in helping children read and spell correctly.
The pronunciation of the consonant phonemes can be grouped:
The website http://www.getreadingright.co.uk/phoneme/pronounce-the-phonemes/4 is useful for showing the correct pronunciation of each phoneme.
As the 44 phonemes are unfortunately not spelled in just one way, the children are gradually introduced to more alternative spellings as they progress through the Letters and Sounds Programme.
High Frequency Words
These are common words that are useful for children to learn to read and spell. As children progress through the phases of Letters and Sounds they are introduced to sets of HFWs.
Some words are decodable which children can blend to read e.g. then. Some are tricky words e.g. said, which are not phonically decodable and are learned by sight.
Children explore sounds and words and develop awareness of rhyme, rhythm and alliteration. They learn how to orally blend sounds and distinguish different sounds in words.
These are on-going skills and it is very important that children are exposed to a rich variety of language from an early age. This can be through conversation,
nursery rhymes, stories, and games.
Children are introduced to at least 19 letters and corresponding sounds.
They begin to read and spell simple 3 letter words eg sat, pin. They also begin to read High Frequency words.
Children learn one grapheme (how a phoneme is written) for a further 25 phonemes. These include consonant and vowel digraphs (e.g. ch, ng, ai, oa) and trigraphs (e.g. igh, air). They read and spell HFWs.
Throughout Phase 3, 4 and 5 children will also be using 'alien' words, this is good practise for segmenting and blending sounds and will prepare Year 1 children for the phonics screening.
Graphemes: ear air ure er ar or ur ow oi ai ee igh oa oo
Consonant digraphs: ch sh th ng
Letter Progression:
Children read and spell words containing consonant clusters. These are 2 or more consonants, but when put together, each can be heard as individual phonemes e.g. cl dr sk mp nd. Words containing these are known as CCVC and CVCC words. e.g. black, strip, chest).
Towards the end of Phase 4 they will also begin to work with compound words such as lunchbox, pondweed and handstand.
Children entering Phase 5 will already be able to read and spell words with adjacent consonants, such as trap, string and flask. They will also be able to read and spell some polysyllabic words.
The purpose of this phase is for children to broaden their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes for use in reading and spelling.
In Phase 5, children will learn alternative graphemes and phonemes. For example, they already know ai as in rain, but now they will be introduced to ay as in day and a-e as in make.
Alternative pronunciations for graphemes will also be introduced, e.g. ea in tea, head and break.
ay, ou, ie, ea, oy, ir, ue, aw, wh, ph, ew, oe, au, a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e.
Alternative graphemes for:
i, o, c, g, u, ow, ie, ea, er, a, y, ch, ou
Children should now be able to read hundreds of words, doing this in four ways:

The Media and the Massacre: Port Arthur 1996-2016
Paperback | Apr 2016 | Transit Lounge | 9780994395719 | 224pp | 234x153mm | GEN | AUD$29.95, NZD$34.99
'Insightful, sensitively written and compelling.' Libby Lester, Head of Journalism, Media and Communications, University of Tasmania
'An unflinching dissection of the relationships between journalists and their subjects – a compelling exposé of journalistic culture.' John Dale, author of Huckstepp
Sonya Voumard's The Media and the Massacre is a chilling portrayal of journalism, betrayal, and storytelling surrounding the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. Inspired, in part, by renowned American author Janet Malcolm's famously controversial work The Journalist and the Murderer, Voumard's elegant new work of literary non-fiction examines the fascinating theme of 'the writer's treachery'. The author brings to bear her own journalistic experiences, ideas and practices in a riveting inquiry into her profession that is part-memoir and part ethical investigation. One of her case studies is the 2009 book Born or Bred? by two prominent journalists – Robert Wainwright and Paola Totaro – about the perpetrator of the Port Arthur massacre, Martin Bryant, and his mother Carleen Bryant. Carleen received an undisclosed legal settlement, over the best-selling book's use of her personal manuscript.
In the lead-up to the 20th anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre, The Media and the Massacre explores the nature of journalistic intent and many of the wider moral and social issues of the storytelling surrounding the events and their place in our cultural memory.

The best car I have ever owned
By rockin rod on Sunday, October 16, 2011I test drove 8 different models of vehicles before buying the Mazda 6. I traded my 2006 Legacy in for it. Other cars driven, Legacy (too slow and too small), WRX (Too small but plenty fast), G-6 (too small too slow), G-8 (Great size, real compfy but too spongie in corners), Jetta (too small too slow), A4 (Sweet car too expensive), Camry (Plush but too slow n spongie), Accord (Sweet tide, great car. A bad dealership experience drove me away but I will look at this car again)and CC (Sweet car too expensive for the options I was looking for. I will look at this car again too. very nice). The Mazda 6 was about $8k over my budget but I loved it so much I made a few consesions in order to own it and have not been disapointed. I got the GT-S version with virtually every option except the navigation and spoiler. I drive a lot and really wanted a comfortable car and I am still a knucklehead on the streets and wanted something sporty. I do drive too fast and make some bonehead moves from time to time but this car has the oomph needed to get out of it's own way. The ONLY thing I do not like about the car is front wheel drive only. I would prefer all wheel drive for rain and snow.

This vehicle is magnificent!
By Dr. Dumpin McCooter on Tuesday, December 26, 2017This is hands down the sexiest and most fun vehicle I have ever owned. I have always admired Mazdas, but havent had one since an RX-7 in the late 80s. I can officially say I am definitely a Mazda guy from here on out. Between the sleek design and curves, to all of the features, and the performance... I actually get excited about running errands or giving someone a ride. I love having physical copies of music (CDs) and the fact there is a 6 disk changer in the dash is incredible, not to mention plenty of room in the center console for a nice selection of CDs. The handsfree bluetooth is also a wonderful feature if you like to talk while youre traveling. There is also an aux input if you have other devices to play music with. The sound is amazing as well. You may need to tweak the settings a bit to get the maximum potential and desired sound, but it is there, no worries. As far as overall performance and pickup goes, it certainly zooms. Sure, it has a little road noise, but its not unpleasant by any means. I actually kind of like it. If youre questioning whether or not to purchase this particular model, dont question it, JUST DO IT.

Practical sports sedan that looks/handles great
By Opie on Thursday, July 25, 2013I get bored quick when it comes to cars. At 39 years old I have owned well over 20 different vehicles. I have had everything from pick-up trucks to sports cars. Now that I have a wife, 3 kids, and a picket fence I need something practical. I have both a 2009 Mazda6 I Grand Touring, and a 2012 Mazda5 Grand Touring. The 5 gets daily driving chores, and the 6 is used as a second car. Both are well equipped for the price and they do exactly what they are designed to do. Nothing out there handles like a Mazda. Obviously I can not compare my Mazda6 to a Shelby GT500. But compared to a Camry, Accord, or Altima, or other similarly priced mid-size sedans nothing comes close. You can look at specs all day long and make arguments for every car out there. What matters in the end is how the car feels on the road, and the Mazda won't disappoint.

This weekend I attended Lahti Handicraft Fair with Medium Aevum Hollolense re-enactment group. I took some pictures at the fair but the pictures are all blurry and not very good. But there are some pictures at the group's web pages http://www.keskiaika.fi/?sivu=Kuvagalleria&id=248 and you might found me also there doing some blackwork embroidery. I had my Assisi tablecloth project with me and a lucet. It was good idea to have two handicrafts with me because after awhile you probably want to do something else. Medium Aevum Hollolense group was the only history/ medieval/ Viking re-enactment group at the fair so they got lots of attention. There were lots of old ladies and lords who wanted to talk about old handicraft techniques and for example naalbinding. And of course there were lots of artisans who were interested in our clothing and especially the thing that we do so much with our hands. The lodge next to our lodge was selling embroidery machines. It was pretty comical to sit next to the embroidery machine to do embroidery by hands. So the machine and I had a little competition about the spectators attentions.
Because I have been extremely busy during last weeks I haven't have tome to do the open-fronted Flemish gown or even started to do it. Last week I managed to make he sleeves for the gown. So I don't know yet what to wear at St Homobonus Feast this weekend. I have been sick today so I might wear something old but warm.

Tur Lemon old/new ruled weak at Burma due to dull buying from India.
Meanwhile, holding capacity of stock by private traders and millers has been decreasing day by day. Small millers/traders were active to liquidate their stock due to cash crunch, government policy and on some progress of monsoon.
Ready stock of Tur with government and private traders is sufficient to meet demand. Moreover, government had allocated quota to millers of 4 lakh tons to import till October and also government had MOU to import 1.75 Lakh tons from Mozambique.

9 important things to consider before your baby's birth
That magical moment when your new family member arrives may be weeks away but getting organized now will help you ensure everything is in place before the big event. Here are a few things to consider…
1) Where and how
Writing a birth plan gives you a chance to think about where and how you would like to have your baby. You can include where to give birth, what pain relief options are available, what sort of interventions you may – or may not – want, who you want with you and how they should support you. Bear in mind that not all choices will be safe for all mothers. However, your midwife or gynecologist will advise you on what is best for you, taking into account your medical history. Remember to be flexible, though, as things will change along the way.
2) Time off work and finances
While you don't have to decide right away about exactly how much leave you and your partner want to take, it is important that you are both aware of your rights and options, and talk them through together.
What you and your partner are entitled to will vary according to where you live. Laws and regulations regarding maternity and paternity leave vary between countries. In some countries, leave and pay are also affected by your terms of employment, how long you have worked for your employer and your employer's individual policies. You may also need to inform your employer about your pregnancy and intended date of return within a timeframe. You can check your legal rights and responsibilities regarding this on your government's website.
In addition, you may both be entitled to share unpaid parental leave, which again varies between countries.
3) Your baby basics
Shopping for the new arrival is all part of the fun – and getting the basics ready before the due date will mean you can concentrate on your baby in those early days.
You will probably receive lots of gorgeous baby clothes as gifts so don't go too overboard on the newborn sizes, cute as they may be, especially as babies can grow fast. Go for cotton clothes that are easy to put on and not too fiddly to fasten.
Focus on the essentials such as:
• diapers, diaper sacks, wipes, cotton wool or recyclable diapers if you prefer
• a nursing bra, breast pads and pump, or bottle-feeding equipment, depending on your choice
• a crib and bedding
• muslin cloths
• a baby bath
• baby toiletries
• a pram
• a car seat
• a changing bag and mat
4) Names
This is one of the most important decisions you will make for your baby so it's not one to rush. Even if you perhaps won't know the sex till the big day, it's worth creating a couple of shortlists. Consider how it sounds with the baby's surname, whether the initials spell something embarrassing, possible nicknames, and whether it will suit someone at all ages. It's also a good idea to research the meanings of names. If you can't agree, you could compromise by including a middle name, but too many could make future form-filling tricky.
5) Additional help
You and your partner are going to be pretty busy after the birth of your little one, so it makes sense to plan ahead. If you have time, you could cook meals in bulk and freeze them for the first few weeks, or simply stock up on food that is quick to prepare. Consider arranging grocery deliveries and hiring a cleaner or someone to do the ironing, even if it's temporary.
Also, no matter how much you love your baby, being a new mother can be challenging and it is perfectly normal to want a little time with just your partner – or alone. So consider who you could ask to babysit – even if it's just for an hour or so. The baby's grandparents, aunts and uncles make great choices and it will help your little one form family ties.
6) Safe sleeping space
Check that the crib is in good condition, with no loose bits, nothing hanging over it, and no attachments such as baby mobiles that your baby could grab as they get bigger. Place the crib away from potential heat sources such as radiators, heaters, lamps and windows that catch the sun, and avoid thick blankets, duvets or quilts, which may make your baby too hot. Instead, use thin layers of bedding, such as cotton sheets and lightweight, cellular blankets (the type used in hospitals), so it's easier to keep your baby at a comfortable temperature.
7) Feeding
Do plenty of research into feeding methods, the pros and cons, and what each entails. For Breastfeeding, you may find that accessories such as a nursing bra, breast pads and a breastfeeding cushion are helpful. You may also want to consider a breast pump and a bottle-feeding kit, so you can express your milk and your partner can help out with feeding.
For bottle-feeding, you will need about six bottles and teats, sterilizing equipment, bottle and teat brush and formula milk.
Try to keep an open mind about the method until your baby is born as it's not always possible to predict what will happen or how you will feel.
8) Your hospital bag
It's a good idea to pack your bag around six weeks before your due date. Include your birth plan and maternity notes (in Germany this would be Mutterpass), a dressing gown, slippers, an old nightdress to give birth in, a change of clothes, toiletries, two or three baby outfits, feeding accessories, and plenty of diapers. You may also want to include snacks and drinks for you and your partner, things to help you relax or pass the time, such as music, books and a tablet, and an eye mask and earplugs if you're in a shared ward. And remember your phone charger!
9) You will grow into the role
Like any new skill, parenting takes time to learn. No one gets it right all the time, so be patient. It can be helpful to share experiences and tips with other new parents through local parenting groups, online forums or by signing up for a postnatal course, which covers topics such as crying, sleeping, feeding, and returning to work. Through this, you will also hear about other activities such as baby massage and mother and baby yoga classes.

Two of DD#1's cousins headed up the bridal shower ~ the festivities were all at one of her cousin's lovely country home, & the shower was outside on a gorgeous, crisp fall afternoon. All was lovely . . .
yummy snacks. . .
& blessed with gifts.
One of the highlights of the party was "The Panty Poem" ~ we'd never heard (or seen) it before & it was SO cute & funny.
I have to say that some of the attendees were a little concerned that "E" had forgotten to take in her laundry when they first arrived, but then found out that there was a reason for the clothesline to be there. lol ~ that was funny all in itself.
After the shower was over, we headed into the house for THE Man's dad's 86th birthday celebration.
Can it be? . . . A second round of FOOD?! Why, of course ~ what's a party without more food?!
And there was such a great crowd . . .
Silly cousins playing behind Grandpa's back (some things never change) . . .
And even brothers getting in on the act . . .
There's nothing like family. What a great day.
Blessings from Ohio . . . Kim<><

Introduction: Morse Tone Generator (low Power CW Beeper)
Here I describe how to build a simple low power tone generator that I use to teach my son morse code.
While cleaning up my cellar I found my old Wehrmacht morse keyer. This keyer was used by German forces during the second world war. The keyer had a strap attached with witch it could be fastened at the upper leg of the soldier. This way the soldier could use the keyer also when there was no table around. These keyers where also used by spies in combination with a small transmitter. Both parts where small enough that someone could carry them around without other noticing them.
My son found this old device very impressive and wanted to use it. So I tried to make a beeper that should have the following features;
- small
- simple usage
- no power button
- very low power consumption
- speaker included, no headphones needed
- usage with 3V button cells
I tried several designs and came to the one that Dan posted for his "Light sensitive theremin" http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/8713/optotheremin.html
. The device has nearly nothing to do with a real Theremin ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin ) but it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: BOM and Schematic
What you need:
- 1 * AC187K (or similar NPN transistor like the 2N3904)
- 1 * AC128K (or similar PNP transistor like the 2N3906)
- 1 * 50 kOhm trimmer resitor
- 1 * 4,7 kOhm resistor
- 1 * 0,1 uF capacitor (0,1uF is equal to 100nF)
- 1 * 1 uF electrolyth capacitor
- 1 * 8 Ohm computer speaker
- 1 * 3V button cell battery holder
It could be a little problematic to get the germanium transistors I used. I used them because I also found them in the cellar and liked to do something with them. Besides that, using the germanium transistors, the tone oscillator workes as low as 0,6V. Using silicium transistors, the voltage need to be a little bit higher than that. But in any case it should work with a 1,5V AAA battery.
The rest of the components is all standard. I sourced the PC speaker from an old desktop computer and also got the battery holder from the old mainboard. If you got an old computer that you want to throw away, just have a look inside. Maybe you can find all the components on the board somewhere.
Step 2: Building
After making some tests on a bread board I started soldering the circuits on a ex-board.
There are many soldering instructables here just search frofor "how to solder" to find some https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Solder-Videos%3a-Why-is-soldering-difficult-s/ .
There are not much components on the board. It should be easy to solder them. looking on the back side you can see that I needed one "bridge" but the rest is easy "routing". When using ex-boards I like to use the ones without stripes. I think that stripes are barriers that are like fences that block my "free routing ideas" :-)
I use the contact pins of the components to make the connections. Normally I do not need additional wires to do the connections. There are always "junk" pieces of wire than can be used to do the routing.
I avoided the soldering of the old germanium transistors right at the pins. I tried not to "overheat" them. That's why the transistor pins are bent through the holes but not soldered right there.
The keyer can be connected using the 2-pin header that I also got from an old PC-mainboard. The loud speaker is connected through two small header pins ... guess where it came from. :-)
Also the button cell battery comes from the ... you know ... PC-mainboard. After all these years there is still enough power in it to make the speaker beep.
Step 3: Result
The circuit draws about 60uA while using a 3V battery and not pressing the morse key. While pressing the key, the current consumption is about 10 mA.
The tone oscillator works starting at about 0,6V and I tested it until about 5V with no problems.
The frequency depends on the voltage. It might be a good Idea to use a potentiometer instead of a trimmer. The 1uF capacitor is used to get a "smooth keying". You can use other values if you like to vary the "smoothness".
Listening to the video you may think that the sound is a bit "rough". It's not that "rough", I used a small digicam for the recording of the video and the sound quality of that cam is not really a good one.
Be the First to Share
5 Discussions
could you replace the trimming potentionmeter with a normal potentiometer and change the pitch i.e. make funny sounds wiht different pitch
You're lucky to have an actual key. My dad and I made one for the Signaling Merit Badge in Scouts and it works quite well.
Why is the keyer where it is and not directly in series with the battery? That way, the circuit will not draw any current when the keyer is not pressed.
sweet just what i needed i wanted to make a small basic tone generator for testing speaker connections in cars when doing installs in my uncles stereo shop ty
Very cool, I will have to try it out sometime!

I don't brag about it - I simply state unequivocally that August is the best month ever to celebrate your birthday if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. Perhaps November would be better if you lived in Chile or Australia.

July is the best, you get presents at regular 6-month intervals. And there's no school on your birthday. Unfortunately, a lot of friends can't come to your party because they are on some kind of cool vacation. And yeah, Tasha Tudor is the BEST. I bought a little book of hers called A is for Annabelle when I was twelve, and I love to cuddle up with my kids and read it to them. She has a funny pumkin one too.

Foreign currency exchange is a complicated process. For customers of an Australian bank, sending money overseas involves foreign banks providing additional services to ensure the transaction is settled as per customers instructions.
One issue was that the bank was unable to provide their customers with transparency of fees charged for the end to end service. Understandably customers weren't satisfied with the service, with some leaving to find a more sophisticated banking institution with greater transparency and confidence.

Lower Bay Protection Zones/Security
Check out this video to learn more about these protection zones
PWD withdraws drinking water from Sebago Lake's Lower Bay at the lake's southern end. To protect the water quality, in 1913 the Maine State Legislature created a law which establishes restricted access zones in Lower Bay "for the purpose of protecting the purity of the waters."
No Trespassing Zone
According to this law no trespassing is allowed within 3,000 feet of the intake pipes. This No Trespassing zone is marked by prominent buoys during the open water season and with ice flags in the winter.
No Bodily Contact Zone
Within two miles of the intakes no swimming, wading, or other bodily contact is allowed. This No Bodily Contact zone is also clearly marked with buoys and signs. Boating is allowed within this zone but no human contact with the water is allowed. PWD security staff is active all year, particularly during the summer, patrolling the lake and watershed to ensure that legal controls are enforced. Violation of restriction zones may result in fines of up to $2,500.
Why is boating allowed in Lower Bay but swimming is not?
