From the document we can conclude that the cultural centre had a reconstruction plan drawn up, which had moreover at some point been approved. With the election of new political forces to the Riga City Council, the emphasis on cultural and space use also changed. In 2009, the Draudzība cultural centre became unnecessary for the Riga City Council.
In a television programme that inspired this article, four couples were invited and given the task of reading instructions on an A4 sheet of paper and following them. The results of the experiment confirmed that certain common traits among members of the same sex do indeed exist - but there will always be exceptions.
October is, of course, Čaks. A Riga man to the bone, an urbanist, a singer of drainpipes and street girls, a self-made man, the misunderstood lover with his heart on the pavement. I caught myself thinking that I enjoy reading poems not published during a poet's lifetime. Perhaps because they are the most truthful, most bare, unpolished.

Looking through various opinions, I came across an article in which lawyers Jānis Pleps and Edgars Pastars share their thoughts and reach the conclusion that the idea of Latvian sovereignty is undesirable for Latvia.
Lately, the public information space has increasingly seen cases where, for one reason or another, a payment by bank card - or merely the fact that a user holds a bank card - has managed to produce more than one surprise.

In Soviet times, every Sunday was a professional holiday - milkmaid's day, spinner's day, blacksmith's day... But production disappeared, times change, and it has become fashionable to mark degrees of kinship. Only don't stop at what's been achieved! Forgotten grandparents, brothers, sisters, half-brothers, sons-in-law, cousins, godmothers... let each Sunday have its own!
The book is easy to read, well-structured and full of key insights on building an effective website for commercial purposes. It is pleasing that such topics now appear not only as individual articles online, but are published as books in Latvian, by local authors themselves.
