the future of state funding in russia for international co - productions is unclear after a major shake - up in state support for film was ordered by the kremlin .
the extent to which russia did recognize the convention can be determined from analyzing the cases brought before the echr on freedom of expression . because the focus of article 10 is the freedom of expression that involves political criticism , the analysis below will encompass only the cases that relate to criticism of the government or involve some type of political speech . analysis of recent echr’s decisions entered against russia for violations of article 10 corresponds with a significant increase in the number of cases involving political criticism .
in any political system , there is always a natural tension between the interests of the state and the interests of the individual . in the old soviet russia , the interests of the state prevailed over any other rights .
the political system was thus authoritarian and highly centralized , and this also applied to the economic system . the economic foundation of the u . s . s . r . was “socialist ownership of the means of production , distribution , and exchange , ” and the economy of the entire country was controlled by a series of five - year plans that set targets for all forms of production .

after the collapse of the soviet empire , russia has steadily shown interest in many spheres , ranging from political consultations through business and economic cooperation to culture with african countries . of a special focus , russia attaches significance to deepening trade and investment cooperation with africa . it is encouraging that more russian companies , being aware of the prospects that are opening in the large market of the continent , are working actively in such fields as nuclear energy , hydrocarbon , and metallurgy industries . russia also pursues a pragmatic policy aimed at enhancing multidimensional ties with the countries of the continent on the bilateral and multilateral basis . in this exclusive interview , professor irina abramova , newly - appointed director of the institute for african studies under the russian academy of sciences , spoke recently to kester kenn klomegah , an independent research writer on russia - african affairs , about some aspects of russia - african relations , economic cooperation , cultural dimensions and some future prospects . interview excerpts

before the advent of cinema in iran , entertainment was a luxury afforded by only a small , well - to - do segment of the population while the great majority of the people had no money to spare . morteza ravadi , iranian historian expresses this point very well :
the first pioneer of this film era is mirza ebrahim khan akasbashi who was the official photographer in the court of muzzafar - e din shah , the fifth shah of the qajar dynasty . the second , mandy russi khan , who originally was from russia , filmed moharram mourning ceremonies ( processed in russia and not shown in iran ) and muzzafared - din shah ' s coronation ceremonies .
in the west , cinema complemented the existing popular forms of entertainment such as theaters , traveling musical shows and the various kinds of stage productions . but in iran , cinema virtually replaced most forms of mass entertainment for various political , economical , historical and cultural reasons . when cinema came to iran it was a diversion for the well - to - do for about ten years or so before it turned into a mass entertainment medium . since 1905 , when the first movie theater opened in tehran , the iranian government has made a special point of keeping ticket prices low so that all segments of the population , at any economic level , might have access to this source of recreation . the early history of film making in iran is far from clear because of a lack of easily accessible data , death of the early motion pictures pioneers and loss of almost all the early footage .
a particularly important and sensitive area of work for russia , primarily in the cis , is resistance to activities by the u . s . , which uses a variety of tools from its rich soft power arsenal very effectively . first of all , this concerns multi - level blocking of opportunities for political technological projects to build hostile regimes along russia’s borders , the engineering of “velvet revolutions , ” the financing of anti - russian actions by countries in the territory of the former soviet union , etc .
sometime in the middle of the 19th century , russia entered a phase of internal crisis that in 1917 would culminate in revolution . its causes were not so much economic or social as political and cultural . for the sake of stability ,
in this regard , russia’s unresolved problems are too numerous to count . before developing a set of advocacy tools it will be necessary to finalize a state ideology , which is still in the process of elaboration .
that mandated the application of treaty provisions in judicial decisions . this law expressly provides that the courts are to consider treaty provisions once the provisions are adopted by russia and become a part of the russian law .

one of the results of rethinking of foreign policy priorities of russia on the basis of president vladimir putin ' s initiative was , in particular , a definite shift in russian foreign policy in the direction of the axis of the east . nothing new has been revealed regarding the ukrainian crisis . it served as a new impetus for further development of mutually beneficial cooperation outside of the euro - atlantic partners .

of soviet russia for the purpose of overthrowing the communists . both wars went on concurrently . the struggle against domestic opponents was to prove even more costly in human lives and more threatening to the new regime than the efforts of the whites .
unfortunately , the russian man in the street does not know much about africa . for africans , so far russia is associated with the soviet union , the majority of africans still have very warm feelings towards russia . but in general , and the russian federation in africa and africa in the russian federation are very poorly represented in the media .
the government established this school to train technicians for the expansion of nirt . later , a graduate school was added , the graduate school of television and cinema . any bachelors degree was accepted , which meant that the associate degree undergraduates of the school of television and cinema could not be considered for the program . graduate students of television and cinema did not go through the same technical training the undergraduates did . their curriculum dealt more with theory than practice . after graduation they were employed in government offices and institutions as audio - visual experts and programmers . most were absorbed by the programming section of nirt or the ministry of education of iran . these students were treated better financially by the government than the undergraduates both during and after graduation . most graduate students were married and the number of women was as large as the men , while the undergraduate school was composed of 95 % men .
thus , although russia took significant steps in reformation of its legal system and declared freedom of expression as a fundamental human right , the practical aspects of such a declaration are lacking . as such , the commitment to the promise of democracy is unattainable in the absence of respect for declared human rights .

dogspot : are you actively involved in managing the children at pawtales ? leo : not really ( e yeing his favourite toy ) i have been to pawtales twice and have met the kids there but it’s mostly vidhi di who manages the entire set up . though i am amazed at how hyper and excited the new generations of kids are . for instance , there are two kids at pawtales called pilla and pilli and all they do is run about , bump into people and other dogs and create a mess . last time i was there i tried to give them a piece of my mind and teach them the ways of the world but realized they are a lost case .
dogspot : who is your favorite person in the house ? leo : hmm , let’s see ! i love mum coz she is the most amazing person i know . vidhi di got married and moved to a new house with saurabh bhaiya , but i stayed back with mum , dad and my younger brat of a brother – hulk to take care of all of them . mum feeds me , takes care of me and loves me to bits . she disciplines me a lot too as i love to sit on the bed with dad and have a serious man – to – man chat , but mum does not like me getting on the furniture , so that’s’ when she scolds .
dogspot : i am sure that as a grown up you would have been entrusted with the responsibility to pass on your wisdom to your younger siblings . how has that worked out for you ? leo : oh ! responsibility is a bad treat . i have a lot of siblings – hulk , chuha , liza , brownie , theo , fighter and jack and unfortunately teaching them the ways of life got poured in my bowl of life . these kids were crazy , i tell you . they would jump and get all hyper and excited and at times nip friends and family who would come to visit . i had to sit them down and explain that what looks cool to them might scare people off .
dogspot : i am sure your memory scrapbook would be full of beautiful memories with friends and family . would you like to share your favourite one ? leo : ( eats a treat and settles down on his favorite bean bag ) i have lots of memories – mostly with vidhi di , mum and my siblings but the ones i cherish are the car rides with di . i love car rides , they are so much fun – with the head out of the window , the air beneath the chin and an occasional treat when the traffic stops – my absolute favourite . i go for my car rides with vidhi di , we discuss her day tell her about mine and watch the world go by .
dogspot : you would have heard a lot of stories of dogs being abandoned . most dogs are senior dogs like your self who were abandoned in shelters and sometimes on the roads . is there any advice you would like to give to pet parents out there ? leo : yes , often vidhi di would tell me that she met an old dog who had been abandoned and left to fend for one . i cannot even think of how scary that would be – alone , old and left alone in a strange loud place . all i would like to say to pet parents out there is that put yourselves in our paws and see if you would like to be abandoned in your old age . we are very simple beings , us dogs . we thrive on love and care ( and a nice chewy bone too ) and nothing comforts us more than being with the family we love – especially when we are old and vulnerable .

according to a recently published report , “india pet food market forecast & opportunities , 2019” , the pet food market in india is projected to cross $ 270 million by 2019 . the major factors contributing to this exponential rise in demand for pet food includes the rising number of nuclear families in urban areas and rising per capita disposable income .

urltoken was a small business idea that was nurtured in 2007 with entrepreneurial skill and canine love ; and it has today grown into india’s leading dog portal .
as far as statistics go , india is the fastest growing pet industry globally . as per reports , there are 8 . 8 million pet dogs in india . if it is assumed that the spending potential of every pet owner is about rs . 20 per day , it comes close to a 1 . 5 billion usd industry .

most people often look dazed and confused when i mention that i was attending a ‘dog show’ last weekend . some people have a different reaction and i am bombarded with questions by dog lovers about dog shows , “what happens in them ? ” “how many dogs are there ? ” “do they do tricks ? ” “what are they judged for ? ” regardless of the nature of reaction , people are always intrigued by this colourful sub - culture which exists in almost every country in the world .
i was born into a family of dog lovers . my father being a conformation dog show judge ( i’ll come to the concept of conformation dog shows etc . later ) it was inevitable that i would be fascinated and intrigued by this world . given the knowledge i possess in this regard , i will try to explain the history and concept of ‘dog shows’ so that the next time someone mentions he / she was at a dog show you can be a part of the conversation rather than take an awkward sip of your drink .
in the above mentioned dog shows , there were no particular standards of breeds as such , no one judged a breed on the basis of how well structured the specimen was , it was rather done on the basis of how well the dog performed his job . for example , if anyone owned an irish setter , the dog would be judged at how well it set the target for the hunter rather than it’s anatomy .
by 1873 , dog shows became so popular a sport that there was a need to have a governing body that would overlook the dog scene . overlooking included maintaining the standards , breeding , showing and promotion of certain kind of breed . this led to the birth of “kennel club” which was in the form of a gentleman’s club . in 1880 the kennel club introduced the concept of pedigree registration , this helped the breeders as official records were maintained and dogs became unique in their own way as they were assigned a name and a number in the records .
by 1877 , dog shows as a sport had found its way to the shores of the united states of america and the westminster kennel club was formed in 1877 . the basic purpose of this kennel club was to organize an annual dog show in new york city . this dog show became the second longest continuously held event in the united states . the westminster show in 1887 was followed by the formation of the philadelphia kennel club which led to the need of a governing body in america and the american kennel club was formed in 1884 .
this was a small peak into the history of dog shows around the world , but as everything eventually evolves , so did the sport of showing dogs . initially the evolution was mainly about including new breeds in the standards worldwide and formation of new rules to maintain breeding and written standards . eventually what were given form were different types of dog shows . agility shows , obedience shows and conformation shows are the most popular form of dog shows in the world .
an agility dog show is a dog show in which a handler directs his / her dog through an obstacle course and tries to do it in the fastest time with the most accuracy . i personally feel that agility shows reflects the most pure form of relationship a dog and a human can have .
obedience dog shows are shows in which a dog perfectly does a series of predetermined tasks when asked to do so by his trainer / owner .
conformation dog shows are dog shows in which a dog is judged on the basis of how well a particular breed conforms to its set breed standard .
with the above blabber i hope i have helped you in getting some idea as to what a ‘dog show’ really is . it is a sport widely followed and loved all over the world by many and it is one way in which a dog really remains man’s best friend .
yesterday is history tomorrow a mystery today it is a gift . that s why it s called present - leo | urltoken
yesterday is history , tomorrow a mystery , today , it is a gift . that ' s why it ' s called present
- leo
“yesterday is history , tomorrow a mystery but today , it is a gift . maybe that’s why it is called present – make the most of it before it becomes history” - quotes leo , from his favourite movie kung fu panda
as the car parks in the drive way and the gate closes , there is a pitter patter of feet inside the house . a loud booming bark followed by a relatively smaller but all the more excited bark fills the house . tail wags have become intense , there is excitement in the air , just like it always is – di ( elder sister ) is home and its fun time again !
leo : i was around a year old when i chose vidhi di and decided to stay with her . i think she fell in love with my majestic persona and extremely good looks , as for me , it was her fun and caring nature that made me think , she will do well being my best buddy . i don’t regret that decision and guess what ! it is the best decision of my life .
dad is pretty chilled out . we share a laugh when mum scolds ; discuss important things like what to eat for dinner and how to get an extra treat . however , for some reason , vidhi di is my favorite person , probably because i chose her and met her before i met the rest of the pack .
being calm and composed is the way to lead life . you can’t mess up with that mantra ! i think i have been able to teach that to everyone except for my brother hulk , but then i don’t blame him , he has a rough life being unwell .
it is with a heavy heart that we inform you that our darling leo crossed over the rainbow bridge to heaven peacefully in his sleep on tuesday 25th august 2015 . even on his last day , he was loved , cared for and cherished by his family and siblings . au revoir leo till we meet again !
the dachshunds are derived from the oldest breed of german hunting dogs . ' dachs ' is the german word for badger . the origin of dachshunds can be traced back to the 15th century as a short legged , long bodied dog in germany used for chasing and hunting badgers . dachshunds have traditionally been viewed as a symbol of germany ,
in germany , this breed is often still employed in the capacity of underground hunter . in america , the dachshunds enjoy a different lifestyle as a companion animal . this breed was officially accepted into the american kennel club ( akc ) in 1885 .
