The shortest night of summer is approaching once again, and with it the summer solstice celebrations - Līgo and Jāņi. One of the indispensable and mystical symbols of the festival is the fern flower. Today I even received by work email from a business partner a traditional Latvian folk song with a greeting - wishing me luck in the search for the fern flower! I shall try to find an answer - what exactly is the fern flower?
Each of us enjoys going to the nail technician from time to time and getting our nails sorted. Some also prefer to do their own manicure. But the nail shape we choose and the nail polish colour we most often use is entirely personal - a question of taste, practicality, beauty, and it turns out - character as well. So let us take a look at girls' nails to perhaps decode a little of their secrets!
I registered one myself on 9 May of this year at www.gravatar.com - iinuu. But later, when I proudly announced to friends that I finally had an avatar on the web, many replied: "How nice - but what exactly is it?" So then, about avatars.
I had promised myself I would never, ever write about politics on this site, but I can no longer hold back. Every day, without fail, party SPAM keeps arriving at the office email and in the letterbox at home. I must say, in these elections the parties have spammed in earnest - they have mastered the latest technologies and are keeping up with the times. I recommend watching Šlesers's video biography for amusement: "...he cried long and insistently, which is why he was named Ainārs".
Walking around a cemetery on a sunny day seems even interesting - reading inscriptions, years, dedications and studying photographs, the forms of monuments and crosses, it feels like walking through an open history book and database of persons. Here are reflections on the institution of the cemetery - why it arose and why people and society need it. What motivation would I have to be buried in a public cemetery after death?
If you type the following keyword into Google, you will find in equal numbers on various Latvian websites both the phrases "masu mediji" and "masu mēdiji" (mass media). So which is actually correct - with the long or short vowel "ē" - and how do popular Latvian portals use it?
I invite you to listen to a fusion of the good old and the new contemporary - Karel Gott and Bushido "Für immer jung". Many will recognise it as the theme from the hit performed in English by the German pop group Alphaville back in the 1980s - "Forever Young".
It turns out the creators of an advertising campaign attempted to answer this question. The advertisement was intended to promote the Italian clothing brand Meltin' Pot, with the tagline "I dream. I am." Let's take a look at some large-format print advertisements!
She always looks attractive and achieves success; sex is not a matter of indifference to her, yet she also seeks a spiritually rich partner, as physical pleasure alone does not give her complete satisfaction. Wishing to reassure herself of her own attractiveness, she changes partners often; time rushes on the wings of the wind... A series of grey years slips away. Desperate attempts to find happiness lead her to spiritual ruin.
Following up on the article posted on 14 May at http://www.iinuu.lv/?id=292, the TV3 Sales Manager - that is, the author of the "serious" partnership proposal - approached the iinuu website administrator with a request to remove it from the web, as it contained confidential information. I will now attempt to explain what confidential information actually is and how it is normally handled.
