About the author

James rodgers.

James Rodgers writes books on international affairs, especially armed conflict. His work has a focus on how the stories of those events are told to the world. Much of his writing draws on his own experience reporting from the former Soviet Union and the Middle East as a journalist from the 1990s onwards. During his BBC career (1995-2010), James completed postings in Moscow, Brussels, and Gaza where, from 2002-2004, he was the only international correspondent based in the territory. His numerous other assignments included New York and Washington following the September 11th attacks; reporting from Iraq in 2003 and 2004 during the United States-led invasion; and covering the wars in Chechnya.

James now lectures in International Journalism at City, University of London. He still works as a journalist, too--contributing work to the BBC, NBC Think, Forbes.com, Monocle Radio, and others.

Canton’s Brewer throws two scoreless in rehab assignment

DES MOINES, Iowa (KLTV) - Former Canton Eagle Colten Brewer pitched two innings for the Iowa Cubs in their 10-2 win over Toledo.

The right hander entered the game in the eighth inning.

Brewer forced Dillon Dingler to ground out for the first out in the inning. Andrew Navigato lined out to center for the second out. After allowing a walk, Brewer bounced back with a strikeout of Ryan Vilade to end the inning.

In the ninth inning, Brewer forced two fly outs and got a strikeout for a 1-2-3 inning.

Brewer has been on a rehab assignment with the Iowa Cubs since May 31.

【双子座新月（6/6）　～喜びを打ち出し、伝えていく～】

6月6日は双子座の新月です。

双子座の太陽と月は、金星とともにあり、5ハウスに入っています。 5ハウスは喜びや自己表現と関わるハウスであることと、双子座の言語表現性が関わるため、 自分にとって楽しいことや面白いと感じることについて、 積極的に表現したり、発信していくよう促します。

それにより、自分の考えを広めていき、感動や喜びを分かち合うことができるでしょう。 またそこから興味を持った人が集まって交流が生まれたり、 なにかのムーブメントにつながることもありそうです。

ただ、2ハウスの魚座土星がスクエアとなっているため、 人の心を傷つけることが無いよう働きかけます。 ある程度、倫理観や礼儀を踏まえながら、 人の気持ちに配慮して発信することが求められるでしょう。

またこの土星は2ハウスにあり、さらにチャートルーラーであることから、 お金や才能に関する要素に関する配慮を重視するよう求めます。 魅力や才能、また豊かさをアピールしたいような場面でも、 それを受け止めた人がどう思うかについて、 一度考慮し、その上で発信していくよう心掛けていくとよいでしょう。

楽しさを表現していく中でも、周りへの配慮を忘れずに発信していってください。

さてこの時期のおすすめアロマは、 双子座のペパーミント 土星にまつわるサイプレス

ペパーミントは、心を軽やかにしつつ思考をクリアにし、喜びに関する発信を後押ししてくれます。 またサイプレスは、心に照らし合わせて、やるべきこととそうでないことに区切りをつけ、適切な発信を促してくれるでしょう。

香りを活用し、踏まえるところを踏まえながら、喜びを伝えていきましょう。

――――― 余談ですが、アセンダント周辺を見ていくと、 1ハウスに冥王星もあり、それなりに踏ん張りが必要な時期なのかもしれません。 それも併せて、冥王星にも対応するサイプレスはおすすめです。 あと、山羊座のアセンダントに天王星・海王星はソフトアスペクト、牡羊座火星がスクエア、ということもあるので、着実にかつ瞬発力をを大切にし、インスピレーションを受けとめながら歩むとよいでしょう。

The Board convenes virtually on a monthly basis to evaluate proposed standalone project sites (for more information, see: https://pages.usaid.gov/LPA/website-governance-board- members).

557.3 POLICY DIRECTIVES AND REQUIRED PROCEDURES

557.3.1 Public Information Effective Date: 03/10/2021

Information concerning the Agency’s objectives and operations must be freely available to the public to the maximum extent practicable. Public understanding of development assistance programs is dependent upon the availability of this information and prompt and reliable response to inquiries. LPA must respond promptly to all requests for information from the public (see ADS 578, Information Quality Guidelines).

While LPA is the focal point for the preparation and release of information, there must be a continuing, comprehensive, Agency-wide commitment to produce and disseminate timely, accurate information. LPA/WM staff must promote, coordinate, and support these efforts. LPA/WM relies on the active participation of all major B/IOs in USAID in responding to the need for an informed public.

● Response to Requests: With the exception of FOIA requests managed by the Agency’s FOIA Office, LPA must process all information requests from the public concerning foreign assistance programs of the United States and other related requests.

● Requests for Information from other B/IOs: When public information requests are forwarded to a B/IO for response, the B/IO should respond within five working days. LPA archives (or maintains a repository) responses collected from B/IOs and approved Agency messages to maintain consistency of overall agency messaging.

557.3.2 USAID.gov External Website Effective Date: 03/10/2021

ADS Chapter 557 5 03/10/2021 Full Revision

The role of the USAID external website is to explain the Agency’s programs to non- USAID audiences and house major information resources of the Agency that are available to the public.

LPA/WM directs the overall operations of the Agency public website, setting standards for content and navigation of the site. LPA/WM serves as the final reviewing and publishing authority for all materials published to USAID.gov, reviewing all content and documents posted to the external website to ensure material is appropriate for public release by conforming to the following standards:

● The content is consistent and gives clear and accurate information to the public;

● The content conforms to overall design, branding, and navigation requirements;

● The content is consistent with stated Agency public positions;

● The content contains required privacy related statements; and

● The content is accessible to all members of the public.

These operations require the close cooperation of various organizational units in the Agency. Organizational units, such as B/IOs and Missions, designate POCs to serve as content providers for the sections of the website for which they have responsibility. Content providers must submit content updates for approval via the USAID.gov external website Content Management System (CMS).

557.3.3 Externally-Facing Microsites on Subdomains of USAID.gov Effective Date: 03/10/2021

Microsites are websites owned and operated by the Agency that provides a function unavailable on the primary USAID website. Microsites reside on subdomains of usaid.gov. Agency staff producing a USAID microsite on a subdomain of USAID.gov, or substantially redesigning an existing microsite (i.e., adding new capabilities or significantly altering the navigation structure and design) must notify the Website Governance Board prior to site development. To begin this process, the USAID lead for the new site must fill out this form: https://pages.usaid.gov/LPA/forms/creation-new- website-modification-existing-website-request-form.

The Website Governance Board will review the initial website proposal to ensure that the proposed site is an appropriate use of Agency funding and staffing resources and does not duplicate capabilities that exist on current USAID websites. M/CIO and LPA/WM staff will conduct a privacy, accessibility, and security review of microsites that receive initial approval from the Website Governance Board to ensure compliance with applicable Federal, USAID, and security and accessibility laws, policies, and regulations.

ADS Chapter 557 6 03/10/2021 Full Revision

All information collected from or posted to microsites on USAID.gov subdomains (excluding machine readable data sets and data provided in response to a FOIA) must comply with:

1. Standards set by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative;

2. USAID and Federal Government requirements, as outlined in OMB M 17-06, Policies for Federal Agency Public Websites and Digital Services;

3. OMB Memorandum on Social Media, Web-Based Interactive Technologies, and the Paperwork Reduction Act;

4. OMB M-10-22 Guidance for Online Use of Web Measurement and Customization Technologies;

5. OMB M-10-23 Guidance for Agency Use of Third-Party Websites and Applications;

6. Website Privacy Policy and security statement regulations, as outlined in OMB Memorandum M-03-22;

7. USAID website branding standards on Agency-funded or -produced websites, as outlined in Agency branding standards at: https://www.usaid.gov/branding; and

8. USAID Section 508 and accessibility standards on Agency-funded or -produced websites, as outlined in ADS Chapter 551, Section 508 and Accessibility.

LPA/WM, in coordination with M/CIO/ITO/SD, must set standards for appropriate and supported coding for all pages before posting.

LPA/WM maintains the Agency’s inventory of public websites and serves (in coordination with M/CIO) as a domain registrar for Agency public websites. LPA/WM, in coordination with M/CIO, also distributes subdomains of the USAID.gov domain, and enforces domain name violations and other guidelines and regulations applying to USAID-financed public websites.

M/CIO/ITO/SD determines, configures, and maintains the USAID/Washington website infrastructure.

LPA/WM staff, in consultation with the Office of General Counsel (GC), and the appropriate geographic or technical Bureau, may require the immediate shutdown of any USAID website using a domain name that is not in compliance with this ADS chapter. Additionally, LPA/WM may require the retirement, when it is in the best interest

ADS Chapter 557 7 03/10/2021 Full Revision of the Agency, of any approved domain name and any USAID-owned domain name that has previously been granted a waiver.

557.3.3.1 USAID Websites and .gov Domains Effective Date: 03/10/2021

In accordance with the Policies for Federal Agency Public Websites and Digital Services, USAID must only use an approved .gov domain for its official public-facing websites.

557.3.4 Standalone Project Websites Effective Date: 03/10/2021

A standalone project website is a website developed for a project in order to meet project deliverables or assist with project implementation, hosted on a separate server and/or domain from usaid.gov or an implementing partner’s corporate site. USAID projects often result in the creation of a standalone project website to assist with project implementation, facilitate communication with project beneficiaries, or disseminate information to the public as a deliverable of the project. Standalone project websites should be narrow in scope, providing the capabilities necessary to achieve project goals without replicating the functionality of official USAID websites.

For the purposes of this section, "official Agency information" is defined as narrative, graphics, multimedia, or other information that seeks to provide an understanding of Agency goals, objectives, results, operations, or organization above the project-specific level and/or speaks authoritatively on behalf of the Agency or the United States Government. LPA/WM will determine exceptions, as explained in section 557.3.4.3, on a case-by-case basis.

To alleviate possible duplication, unless required as a project deliverable, standalone project websites must not, for example:

● Provide general or detailed descriptions of Agency activities or projects intended to educate the public about Agency goals, objectives, or operations above the level of that specific project;

● Provide Agency policy or official guidance;

● Disseminate "success stories" or other material that describe in non-technical terms for a general audience the results of Agency-financed projects; or

● Disseminate any information related to Agency budget allocations, Agency administrative processes, or other aspects of Agency operations or organization beyond what is necessary for project implementation.

ADS Chapter 557 8 03/10/2021 Full Revision

Project contracting and assistance officers in coordination with relevant B/IO communicators must periodically review their project websites to ensure compliance with the above.

557.3.4.1 Project Websites Financed Under Acquisition Instruments Effective Date: 03/10/2021

Websites produced under acquisition instruments to achieve project implementation goals must be branded with the USAID logo and marked appropriately on the index page of the site and every major entry point to the website with a disclaimer that states:

"The information provided on this website is not official U.S. Government information and does not represent the views or positions of the U.S. Agency for International Development or the U.S. Government."

The Website Governance Board must approve project websites produced under USAID-financed contracts prior to site development. Sites financed under acquisition instruments that have been approved by the Website Governance Board must comply with applicable Federal and security and accessibility laws, policies, and regulations as outlined in M-17-06 Policies for Federal Agency Public Websites and Digital Services. Additional information about the Website Governance Board’s approval process can be found here: https://pages.usaid.gov/LPA/website-governance- board and https://pages.usaid.gov/LPA/website-governance-board-approval- procedures.

557.3.4.2 Websites Financed Under Assistance Instruments Effective Date: 03/10/2021

USAID staff must ensure that websites produced under USAID-financed assistance instruments comply with USAID branding guidelines for assistance instruments (Branding Guidelines). As provided in this ADS chapter, the Website Governance Board must be notified of the proposed website as far in advance of the site's launch as possible.

LPA/WM must review and approve sites produced under assistance instruments to ensure compliance with Section 508 Accessibility requirements, as detailed in ADS 551.

USAID staff must ensure that websites produced under USAID-financed assistance instruments and fall outside the scope of section 557.3.4 do not reside on a .gov domain. The site must be marked appropriately on the index page of the site and every major entry point to the website with a disclaimer that states:

ADS Chapter 557 9 03/10/2021 Full Revision

557.3.4.3 USAID Websites and .gov Domains Exceptions Effective Date: 03/10/2021

Exceptions to section 557.3.4 are possible only if the website provides support to and disseminates official Agency information about U.S. Government-financed projects or programs that cross Agency jurisdictions or have an urgent and compelling need not to be associated directly with USAID.

When exceptions are made for websites that cross Agency jurisdictions for programmatic purposes and are agreed to by the involved parties, the website must reside on an LPA-approved .gov domain. Only the USAID Administrator may approve official government information residing on a non-.gov domain. LPA must be informed of the URLs of these websites before the website is launched.

Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin Paperback – May 18, 2023

Purchase options and add-ons.

The story of western correspondents in Russia is the story of Russia's attitude to the west. Russia has at different times been alternately open to western ideas and contacts, cautious and distant or, for much of the twentieth century, all but closed off. From the revolutionary period of the First World War onwards, correspondents in Russia have striven to tell the story of a country known to few outsiders. Their stories have not always been well received by political elites, audiences, and even editors in their own countries-but their accounts have been a huge influence on how the West understands Russia. Not always perfect, at times downright misleading, they have, overall, been immensely valuable. In Assignment Moscow , former foreign correspondent James Rodgers analyses the news coverage of Russia throughout history, from the coverage of the siege of the Winter Palace and a plot to kill Stalin, to the Chernobyl explosion and the Salisbury poison scandal.

Editorial Reviews

“ Assignment Moscow exposes how the Moscow correspondent has had to adapt to multiple manifestations of censorship, or compete with state-run media, the severity of which has ebbed and flowed with changes in regime.” ― History Today “Rodgers's narrative rests on an enormous number of articles in Anglo-American media, books by and about journalists, and his own interviews with many Moscow correspondents.” ― Foreign Affairs Magazine “Rodgers retains his focus on the correspondent's interactions with Russia and Russians, rather than being sidetracked into discussions of normative values or political controversy. This approach prepares the reader for the conclusion, which celebrates the openness and curiosity of the best Russia correspondents, reminding the reader that what they have just read is a history not of Russia but of how Western correspondents have told Russia's stories. Differentiating the two is an important and hitherto neglected task but one that James Rodgers has achieved masterfully.” ― Journalism “Reporting from Russia has never been easy; Rodgers vividly captures the changing fortunes of Moscow correspondents over the past hundred years, as they penetrated the mysteries of life in Russia and brought them to our newspapers and screens. Some were duped, some were fellow-travellers or spies; most battled against censors and blank-faced politicians; all have helped to shape our understanding of the world's biggest country.” ― Angus Roxburgh, former Moscow correspondent for the BBC, Sunday Times and Economist “Writing about journalism in Russia since the revolution, James Rodgers rightly emphasises that to understand Russia you have to talk to people of all kinds. But he argues that even correspondents who knew the language and the history found it hard to report dispassionately because of official obstruction and their own emotional involvement.” ― Rodric Braithwaite “A highly original, engrossing and accessible book, Assignment Moscow stands out among journalistic accounts of Russia for its subtlety, humility and historic scope. It tells the story of British and American journalists who aimed to throw light on Russia from Lenin to Putin, and in the process illuminated the West itself.” ― Arkady Ostrovsky, Author of The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the age of Fake News, Winner of the 2016 Orwell Prize “It is hard to believe that in the torrent of books published on Russia each year, that one could come along as original and valuable as Assignment Moscow. One comes to appreciate the service of our reporting men and women in Moscow. For all their fallibilities, without their dedication, we wouldn't have half the understanding of Russia that we have today, imperfect as it will always be. We therefore owe them – and especially Rodgers as journalist, teacher, analyst and cataloguer – a huge debt.” ― James Nixey, Chatham House “[Rodgers'] experience has been wisely distilled in this fair-minded, balanced and perceptive exploration of the problems reporters have faced in trying to report from Russia.” ― British Journalism Review “Reveals how journalists' experiences reporting from Russia for the past 100 years mirrors its changing attitude to the West.” ― The Journalist

About the author

James rodgers.

James Rodgers writes books on international affairs, especially armed conflict. His work has a focus on how the stories of those events are told to the world. Much of his writing draws on his own experience reporting from the former Soviet Union and the Middle East as a journalist from the 1990s onwards. During his BBC career (1995-2010), James completed postings in Moscow, Brussels, and Gaza where, from 2002-2004, he was the only international correspondent based in the territory. His numerous other assignments included New York and Washington following the September 11th attacks; reporting from Iraq in 2003 and 2004 during the United States-led invasion; and covering the wars in Chechnya.

James now lectures in International Journalism at City, University of London. He still works as a journalist, too--contributing work to the BBC, NBC Think, Forbes.com, Monocle Radio, and others.
