Lotte Reiniger's silhouette animation in THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED (1926), the earliest surviving full-length animated feature. Her attention to detail was stunning, note the wobble of the chess piece.

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

Šodien atvadījāmies no Marģera Vestermaņa. Iespējams, simboliski ar viņu, kā pēdējo Rīgas geto izdzīvojušo, tiek pāršķirta arī lappuse mūsu pagātnes uztverē - tā tagad ir sena pagātne. Diemžēl, ja šo lapaspusi regulāri nepārlasīsim, tad jaunā nodaļa mūsu pagātnes stāstā būs līdzīga.

Varbūt kāds pazīst kādu tulkotāju, kas nodarbojas ar tieši juridiskajām lietām? Man te ir amerikānis, kurš grib iegūt Latvijas pilsonību un meklē kādu, kas varētu kvalitātīvi pārtulkot dokumentus

The deliberate destruction of a people's culture, including books, museums, cultural landmarks and churches, constitutes cultural genocide, or 'culturicide' – a term coined by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in 1944, in the same book that introduced the term 'genocide'. www.kyivpost.com/post/81650
