Mustamäe in song Mustamäe valss (Mustamäe Walz), composed by Avo Tamme; lyrics by Heldur Karmo Mustamäe valss Elasin ärklitoas üheskoos ämmaga, Õnn tahtis pageda käest. Päeval ja ööl, kodus ja tööl Mõtlesin Mustamäest. Refr. Nüüd elan Mustamäel, korter on aus ja hea Ning selle õnne eest Fortunat kiitma pean. Nüüd elan Mustamäel - tahta mis võiksin veel! Hulk päevi, kauneid, siin mind ootab, ootab eest. Naabrite rõõmudes olen nüüd osanik, Olgu seal pidu või pulm - Igavust ma tunda ei saa Enne, kui kell on kolm. Refr. Nüüd elan Mustamäel... Kui nüüd veel Mustamäe Ziguli kandiga Sõpruse sidemed looks, Võib-olla nii minagi siis Auto veel majja tooks. Refr. Nüüd elan Mustamäel... The most popular singer who sings this song is Voldemar Kuslap.

Hea meel on tõdeda, et selts on endiselt tegus ja seltsi kuuluvad aktiivseid liikmeid, kellel on entusiasmi ja motivatsiooni asumis kogukonda kokku tuua ja seista meie naabruskonna elukeskkonna eest. Seltsi esindajad on aktiivselt suhelnud ametkondade ja linnavalitsusega asumi heakorra ja liiklusohutuse teemadel. Veskimetsa-Mustjõe Selts, nagu palju teisedki asumiseltsid, on kujunenud Tallinna linnaplaneerimisel ja juhtimise usaldusväärseks partneriks, kelle arvamust küsitakse ning kel on võimalus edastada kohalikke muresid, ootusi ja ettepanekuid ametkondadesse. Veskimetsa-Mustjõe Selts on korraldanud alates 2016. aastast kogukonnale suunatud ühisüritusi, millest on saanud juba traditsioon: Talvekohvikupäev, "Teeme ära" talgud, Puhvetipäev ja Külapäev. Käesolev aasta on olnud igatepidi eriline ja teistmoodi. Kuna sel aastal jäi talv ära, ilmaolud olid kesised ja ettearvamatud, siis olime sunnitud talvekohvikupäevast sel aastal loobuma. Ootasime talgupäeva, ent viirusega seotud kriisiperiood tegi plaanidesse muudatuse. Traditsiooniliselt juuni lõpus toimuv Puhvetipäev oli välja kuulutatud, ent kuna oli teadmata, millised on selle hetke võimalused rahvarohket üritust korraldada, võttis selts vastu otsuse Puhvetipäev korraldada

    Rainer Vakra Teie: 27.05.2020 nr F1-11.3/389-1 Tallinna Linnavolikogu Meie: 29.06.2020 nr LV-1/1489 - 3 Vastus arupärimisele „Rohealade läbimurretest“ Lugupeetud Rainer Vakra Vastan 27.05.2020 esitatud arupärimises toodud küsimustele alljärgnevalt: 1. Kas Transpordiamet või mõni teine linnaamet planeerib uuringuid võimalike Merimetsa ja Harku raba läbimurrete rajamise kohta? Kui ei, siis millal ja kelle poolt otsustati need uuringud peatada? Kui jah, siis miks neid uuringuid tehakse? 2. Kui palju lähevad sellised uuringud maksumaksjale maksma? Kuna volikogu esimehe sõnul on ehitamine/mitte ehitamine juba otsustatud, miks ei suunata uuringutele planeeritud raha näiteks kõnniteede ehitusse? 3. Milliseid rohealade läbimurdeid Tallinna linn hetkel planeerib ja kavatseb ellu viia? 4. Kas te saate kinnitada, et Merimetsa ja Harku raba rohealasid ei hakata lõhkuma magistraalteede ega mistahes teedega? 5. Kas Tallinn vaatab üle ja muudab kõik planeeringud, mis näevad ette Harku metsa äärde magistraal- või muud sõiduteed autodele? Konkreetselt Merimetsa ja Harku raba möödasõiduteid puudutavaid uuringuid ei ole alustatud ning neid ei ole kavas Tallinna linnal ka tellida. Mõlema linnaosa koostatavate üldplaneeringute keskkonnamõjude hindamise aruanded (KSH) on hinnanud möödasõiduteede kavandamised tugeva negatiivse mõjuga looduskeskkonnale. Seetõttu on nii Põhja-Tallinna kui ka Nõmme linnaosa üldplaneeringus möödasõiduteedest läbi roheala loobutud. Merimetsa möödasõidutee osas selgitame, et koostatavas Põhja-Tallinna linnaosa üldplaneeringus on piirkonnale esitatud uus tänavavõrgu lahendus, mis toetub Põhja-Tallinna liikuvusuuringus (2014) esitatud alternatiivile. Tegemist on uue linnaosa tähtsusega põhitänavaga, mis võimaldab täiendava ühenduse loomist Paldiski mnt-ga ning leevendab Sõle tn – Paldiski mnt ristmiku koormust ning lisaks parandab vajalikku juurdepääsu külgnevatele arengualadele (Hipodroomi, Seewaldi, Lääne-Tallinna Keskhaigla territoorium).

All this requires availability of data as close to real time as possible, the capability of moving massive data volumes, high requirements of cyber security and the protection of personal data. Considering these trends, Elering is developing the smart grid platform Estfeed, which enables to obtain energy consumption data efficiently and securely, understanding the needs related to the location of consumption, and altering actions accordingly. Estfeed will integrate different data sources and applications that use the data. The data may include information like production and consumption of electricity, gas, heat or market prices of energy, and weather forecasts. The creators of the applications can use databases interfaced to the platform of the smart grid to offer useful information technology solutions for the smart usage of energy both in business and production pro- Elering’s smart grid creates cesses and also for private households.

  • Generational Use of News Media in Estonia
    Generational Use of News Media in Estonia Contemporary media research highlights the importance of empirically analysing the relationships between media and age; changing user patterns over the life course; and generational experiences within media discourse beyond the widely-hyped buzz terms such as the ‘digital natives’, ‘Google generation’, etc. The Generational Use doctoral thesis seeks to define the ‘repertoires’ of news media that different generations use to obtain topical information and create of News Media their ‘media space’. The thesis contributes to the development of in Estonia a framework within which to analyse generational features in news audiences by putting the main focus on the cultural view of generations. This perspective was first introduced by Karl Mannheim in 1928. Departing from his legacy, generations can be better conceived of as social formations that are built on self- identification, rather than equally distributed cohorts. With the purpose of discussing the emergence of various ‘audiencing’ patterns from the perspectives of age, life course and generational identity, the thesis centres on Estonia – a post-Soviet Baltic state – as an empirical example of a transforming society with a dynamic media landscape that is witnessing the expanding impact of new media and a shift to digitisation, which should have consequences for the process of ‘generationing’. The thesis is based on data from nationally representative cross- section surveys on media use and media attitudes (conducted 2002–2012). In addition to that focus group discussions are used to map similarities and differences between five generation cohorts born 1932–1997 with regard to the access and use of established news media, thematic preferences and spatial orientations of Signe Opermann Signe Opermann media use, and a discursive approach to news formats.
