Divorce is one thing occurring increasingly more frequently nowadays, frequently brought on by things like abuse, infidelity, mental abuse, financial woes, or simply generally deciding that you would like to leave. You should not feel below par should you awaken and choose you will no longer wish to be married any longer, in the end, not good will emerge from sticking it and causing you to both more miserable within the finish, so why wouldn't you apply for divorce?
If actually you need to do feel by doing this, then you need to go on and speak with the divorce lawyer, who let you know your options, and explain in greater detail about divorce. You will have to speak to your divorce attorney, and tell him wherever the issues within the marriage are, and whether you'd wish to reconcile your variations together with your spouse. Your divorce attorney will explain what you're legally permitted to complete, and can help you in the court, when your spouse contest divorce.
On your divorce, the home that you simply jointly own is going to be split involving the spouse and yourself, which is frequently where divorces turn ugly rapidly. The splitting of communal rentals are something which is determined through the individual laws and regulations of the condition, and you and your spouse will need to follow individuals laws and regulations. You will have to provide your divorce attorney a listing of all the products which are in your home that you simply own, which are joint property, to ensure that everything could be provided to its rightful owner, or rightful owner based on the law, a minimum of. Your divorce attorney asks you what products were yours before you decide to were married, and just what products were acquired when you existed together like a husband and wife. Should you have had any type of prenuptial agreement, you need to forward a duplicate from it for your divorce attorney at the moment.
For those who have children, there will probably be child custody issues too. Your divorce attorney can help you with this particular too. You'll have to prove in the court that you're a appropriate and capable parent, and demonstrate that you could offer the kids needs, emotionally, physically, and financially.

2010 Novella Contest Winner
The Malahat Review congratulates Tony Tulathimutte, of San Francisco, whose novella, "Brains" has won our 2010 Novella Prize.
Tony's entry was chosen from 196 submissions by our three final judges, Bernice Friesen (Saskatoon), Patricia Robertson (Whitehorse), and Bill Stenson (Victoria). He was awarded $500 in prize money, plus $20 per printed page.
Of "Brains," our judges said: "It was a pleasure to read a story where both structure and language worked seamlessly together to produce a rare page-turner. As the clever title signals, the premise involves a brainy protagonist whose medical specialty is brains, yet her brilliance isn't, in the end, enough to save her from messy emotional complications. "Brains" is not only a compelling, unpredictable story, gripping from beginning to end, but one in which the writer brings authority and authenticity to his use of medical jargon while sending up the protagonist's sense of her own superiority. The story's tongue-in-cheek, satiric wit was a welcome change. Above all, the characters are utterly original and stay with the reader after the story ends."
Web exclusive: Malahat volunteer Alicia Lawrence talks with Tony Tulathimutte about "Brains." Read the full interview.
Tony Tulathimutte's first publication (in Threepenny Review) was selected for a 2008 O. Henry Award. He studied cognitive sciences and creative writing at Stanford University. He currently lives in San Francisco, and will be attending the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop in the fall.
Bill Stenson lives and writes in Victoria, B.C.
Bernice Friesen is a visual artist and a writer. She has written books of short fiction (The Seasons Are Horses), poetry (Sex, Death, and Naked Men), and a novel (The Book of Beasts), which was longlisted for the Rogers Writers Trust of Canada Fiction Award, was in the Globe and Mail's top 100, and won the Saskatchewan Book Award for Fiction in 2007.
Patricia Robertson was one of twenty short story writers featured in the "Salon des Refusés," a counter-anthology published by two Canadian literary magazines in response to the "establishment" choices of The Penguin Book of Canadian Short Stories. Her work has been nominated for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, the Journey Prize, the Pushcart Prize, and the National Magazine Awards (three times). Her most recent collection is The Goldfish Dancer: Stories and Novellas (Biblioasis).
We would also like to congratulate the 2010 Novella Prize finalists:
Darryl Berger, "Broken Hill (an illustrated story)"; Kim Clark, "Solitaire"; Cary Fagan, "The Hebrew Sorcerer"; Don MacKay, "Gambari"; and D. W. Wilson, "Valley Echo."
The Malahat Review's Novella Prize runs every other year, alternating with our Long Poem Prize. The deadline for the next Novella Prize is February 1, 2012 (postmark date). For info go to the Novella Prize.


Latvia's telecom market has been shaped by the European Union, with the EU's 2002 regulatory policies and the revised 2009 New Regulatory Framework being adopted as core components of the sector's regulatory measures. The country is as also a member of the Economic and Monetary Union of the EU. At the beginning of 2014 Latvia became the 18th country to adopt the euro as its national currency, and by the end of the year the incumbent telco, Lattelecom, transitioned to the euro for all of its businesses in both Latvia and Lithuania. The former currency, the Lat, had joined the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II) in May 2005. Latvia became a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD in June 2016.
Latvia's broadband market continues to suffer from inadequate progress on local loop unbundling, though the government has stepped up its efforts to build a national fibre broadband network, part-funded by the European Commission (EC).
Four mobile network operators compete in the market. LTE services have been launched commercially, while operators including Tele2 have expanded their LTE-A services into 2016. The recent auction of 2.6GHz spectrum has enabled operators to improve the capabilities of their LTE services. A significant auction of digital dividend spectrum held at the end of 2013 saw three operators secure licenses to 2030.
Government rejects TeliaSonera's proposal to merge LMT with Lattelecom; regulator reports on mobile broadband quality of service into 2016; Mid Europa sells Bité Group to Providence Equity Partners; MNOs expand LTE-A deployments; Lattelecom launches VDSL vectoring program; fixed-line call termination rates reduced by 89%; fibre rollouts providing broadband access at up to 600Mb/s; EC funding for fibre networks supporting the government' program to build a national network; report update includes the regulator's market data, telcos' operating and financial data to Q2 2016, recent market developments.

Goregrind je hudební odnož brutal death metalu a grindcoru.

Charakteristika
Nejčastěji se v tomto hudebním žánru vyskytují elektrické kytary, bicí, baskytary a zpěvák, jenž vydává vokály napodobující prasata (pig squeal), screaming, growling a mnoho dalších technik. V některých kapelách bývá buď více zpěváků, kytar a nebo jen sestava bicích nástrojů, baskytary s agresivním efektem a zpěvák. Texty v mnoha kapelách nejsou, protože jsou nahrazeny vokálními složkami v rytmu jednoduché rychlé melodické, fyzicky však náročné hudby.
Od stylu grindcore se liší tématy textů, které zahrnují nejčastěji brutalitu, násilí, forenzní patologii, či černý humor, texty u grindcore kapel se častěji věnují politice a různým světovým problémům. Goregrindové kapely se často neberou tak vážně a jde spíš o záležitost na pobavení (Gutalax, Spasm).

Mad Men Has Become a Bad Comic Book
Don's sad backstory may explain why he's a dirtbag, but not why we should care.
I've been thinking for some time about this piece Emily Nussbaum wrote on Mad Men where she articulates the basic problems with the sixth season and, perhaps now, the entire series:
As the island was to "Lost," Don Draper is to "Mad Men." He was a great premise, a mystery we were dying to understand. But, the more the puzzle has been filled in, the more he's begun to feel suspiciously like a symbol, a thesis title rather than a character: "Appearance Versus Reality"; "American Masculinity as Performance"; "The Links Between Prostitution, Marriage, and the Ad Game." I'd hoped that the death of Don's California-stoner muse, Anna, two seasons ago—in one of the series' standout episodes, "The Suitcase"—would work as an exorcism, but instead Weiner doubled down, adding fresh flashbacks, to the point that even JT LeRoy might think that he was laying it on a bit thick.
To recap: Don's real name is Dick Whitman. His prostitute mother died in childbirth; his dad, her john, beat him. His fundamentalist stepmother called him a "whore's child." Then his father got kicked in the head by a horse, and the stepmother moved in with her sister, herself a prostitute, living in a brothel. The stepmother, heavily pregnant with Don's half brother, prostituted herself to her brother-in-law, as the teen-age Don knelt outside her door. He watched them, through the keyhole, have sex. C'mon, now. This is no longer the backstory of a serial adulterer; it's the backstory of a serial killer.
We haven't even got to the part where Whitman goes to fight in Korea, accidentally blows up his superior officer, Don Draper, steals his identity, forms a secret relationship with his widow (she's motherly, yet also somewhat prostitute-like, since he pays for her upkeep), becomes a greaser, and seduces a model who is also concerned primarily with appearances. Eventually, he gets into advertising, and when his half brother, Adam, finds him, Don rejects him, and Adam hangs himself. It's not that none of this makes sense, or could make sense; it's just too much, overdetermined. None of the other characters has this sort of reverse-engineered psychology, and for good reason: it's a lazy way to impose meaning.
Reading Emily detail Draper's back-story, I had the feeling that I'd seen this improbable twisting and turning before—in comic books. We grant comic books that license because they are arched over decades, forged by different writers and editors. Some writers emphasize one aspect of backstory more than others, and whole events are often retconned into oblivion. Either way I don't think backstory is so much the problem, as the belief that backstory has more explanatory power than it actually does.
We are being told that Don is having an affair with Sylvia. Presumably this affair has some relation to the perversions he experienced as a child. That's a good start but it is insufficient. Why—specifically—Sylvia? Who is she? What, precisely, is she offering that Don simply can't get enough of? How does that particular character interact with whatever is going on in Don Draper's head?
This is not a new challenge. What made Don Draper's two affairs so powerful in the first season was the sense that both Rachel and Midge were doing something for him. Rachel and Don connected on mutual feeling of being a pariah. Midge was window into a world of nonconformity that has always intrigued Don—the representation of a path that an identity thief, running from a dysfunctional family might, himself, have taken.
And each of these characters were actual people. Rachel had a father and a sister and expectations emanating from each of those. She had her own thoughts on Judaism and Israel, ad ultimately, on what constituted cowardice and what didn't. Midge inhabited the falling world of the Beatnicks. And you had some real sense of that world—you got to see her friends, you got to go to Jazz clubs with them, and finally, you got to see her in love with someone else.
What other world does Sylvia represent, beyond OPP? Who is she independent of Don? What are the grounds on which they relate? Why did she agree to begin their affair again? Why does she like Don? Is it because he is the most interesting man alive? Right now, all I am watching is the latest vagina Don Draper happened to trip over.
That is depressing. Mad Men's greatest strength was always the humanity it gave to women. You still see some of that in the interactions between Peggy and Joan. But this season has been mostly about making an argument, rather than telling a story. Whole arcs are initiated and then dropped. There are a flurry of characters, interesting in their own right, whose shine comes and goes. There's no focus beyond a kind of creeping amorality. (I think that's the argument.) Sally Draper's friend from the last episode wasn't so much a character as a demigod of chaos summoned up solely to fuck up Sally Draper even more.
For those of us who once cared about Don, the big reveal lacked any emotional power. Here is a dude so low that he would bang his friend's wife while his own wife was upstairs, and go off on a drug binge while his house was robbed and his kids were held hostage. There's no sympathy left. He's a dirt bag. And I am fine watching dirt bags. But tell me something new about this particular dirt bag. Show me something about him that I did not know or suspect—something beyond, "Hey you know that dirt bag, really is just a dirtbag." There needs to be something more.

ATLANTA — The natural reaction was to wince.
Anthony Davis landed awkwardly on his right foot, which twisted underneath him. While he's no stranger to hitting the deck, there were a few terrible seconds for the Lakers when he grabbed his leg while grimacing on his back.
Eventually, Davis was pulled up, and walked it off, playing the remaining 4:14, but he had a heavy limp for the rest of the game, a 101-96 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Even as he made critical, game-closing plays such as a block of Trae Young, every other step seemed to drag just enough to keep some dread hanging over the affair.
Afterward, Davis said he was "a little sore" as his right foot rested in an ice bath. The Lakers said no X-ray had been taken, and called it "ankle soreness." The person who made the call to stay in the game seemed to be Davis.
"He's said he's good so we leave him in there," Frank Vogel said. "Doesn't go any further than that."
Davis said he tried to play the game "off adrenaline," hoping that he could deal with pain later. While the result helped validate the choice, it poked at a question that's been hanging over the Lakers (and the NBA at large) so far this season: When can stars make such calls, and how do teams balance short-term needs with long-term goals?
This manifested in a related question on Sunday night, as LeBron James began the day questionable with elbow soreness, and dropped on a flight from Columbus after watching his son play in a nationally televised high school game on Saturday. In a league that seems to be hedging toward resting players more often, James' goal is to play as long as he's healthy enough to play.

" I mean, unless we're getting to like late in the season and we've clinched and we can't get any better or any worse, it could benefit from that but why wouldn't I play if I'm healthy?," he said. "It doesn't make any sense to me, personally."
That sits well with the Lakers, whose 24-3 start has been powered by James. While Vogel said the staff looks for opportunities for James "to recharge his batteries," they'll respect his word when he says he's ready to play.
The way the Lakers really attempt to pull back James' workload is through his minutes, which are at a career low 34.7 per game. On Sunday, even as the Hawks were threatening, James got a fourth-quarter break which has become standard procedure. He played slightly above his average at over 36 minutes, but the Lakers have no strong desire to overwhelm him in a game when he doesn't need to play every second.
"My line of demarcation is play him as little as possible to get the win. And just try to keep a smart number in mind," Vogel said. "Obviously there's times when we're going to go over it but I think if I can get him averaging 34 minutes I think that would probably be the ideal situation."
Davis had a hitch in his step but walked out of the locker room without too much trouble in gleaming white sneakers. While teammates hoped more bad injury news wouldn't arrive, they trusted Davis' judgement.
"We might find out it could be worse, I don't want to say it — but he's a player," Rajon Rondo said. "Adrenaline is the craziest drug in the world and when you're out there, fans, close game, pretty sure he's not going to pull himself out."

Eye-Catching and Sensual: Inside the Photographs of Vania Toledo
May 28, 2019 at 9:00 am by Cynthia Garcia
by Cynthia Garcia
May 28, 2019 August 7, 2019 Filed under:
Vania Toledo, proof sheet print of Corpo Livre (Free Body) series, 1996, 100 X 70 cm. Courtesy Galeria MaPA, São Paulo.
Vania Toledo, one of Brazil's main portrait photographers, is showing "Corpo Livre" (Free Body) at the recently expanded Galeria MaPa. The bold, Minas-born seventy-one-year-old professional broke into the profession when it was a male-dominated trade, and became known for her nude photographs of men. The solo exhibition, in her characteristic high-contrast black-and-white style, includes a 1996 series never before exhibited of thirteen male nudes in original vintage copies prized by collectors. It is very Vania: eye-catching, sensual and not vulgar, but with a sense of fun. Also present are three one-hundred-by-seventy-centimeter panels, each depicting enlarged contact prints with the original red correction marks. These add to the nostalgia and depth of the analog experience that today's overpowering digital world doesn't deliver. Intended for image review, a contact print is a revealing tool that discloses all the clicks on the film strips with the post-production markings indicating the search for the final print.
In 1969, Toledo's sociology degree led her to a job in the department of education at publisher Editora Abril in São Paulo. After ten years enclosed in a boring office life, her calling screamed out and she switched professions. Soon came public recognition with the 1980 launch of her first book, "Homens" (Men), a groundbreaking glossy, black-and-white photo essay on famous guys with some dicks on display, among them composer Caetano Veloso and singer Ney Matogrosso. The provocative publication had three sold-out editions and remains a reference of modern male Latino sexiness. Finally, "Personagens Femininos," or female characters, a 1992 photo book of fifty actresses donned in the TV and stage costumes of their most famous characters, confirmed her skill for capturing different nuances, promoted her name even more and propelled her into portrait photography.

Five years later came the pioneering and powerful "Pantanal." The large-format hardcover, her first in color, has an introduction penned by underground intellectual author Antonio Bivar. With a glamorous, magazine-like layout, the pages reveal firsthand the flora, fauna and people of the pristine ecosystem, the world's largest wetland, now hailed as a sanctuary. Despite the huge challenge of moving around with the help of a walking stick in and out of boats in untouched, swampy nature at the age of fifty, the enterprise proved to be another editorial success and reinforced the bravura of this petite woman with a big smile. A few years before, an accident by a hit-and-run driver forced her to walk with a cane.
Talented Toledo is a cult figure, celebrated both professionally and as an icon of São Paulo's cultural scene. American magazines such as Time and Life have published her photos. Her work has been exhibited in local museums such as Pinacoteca in São Paulo and Rio's Museu de Arte Moderna, as well as in Argentina, France and the U.S. She has shot advertising campaigns, record albums and magazine covers, and everyone in Brazil's spotlight—good or bad, beautiful or sexy, since the 1980s. In 2007, Toledo was awarded the Order of Cultural Merit for her contributions to Brazilian culture.
Vania, before becoming a professional photographer, what was your relation to photography?
As early as I can remember I was always the amateur photographer of my family and friends' reunions. The tumultuous period of 1968 to '72 in São Paulo—five years worth ten—I always had my camera in hand. My friends and I were interested in everything going on: we loved theater, debated politics and acted in underground film productions. Our lives were fueled by curiosity and totally taken by cultural activities and love affairs. I feel very privileged for having had all this experience. I began as a greenie in the newspaper, working in the morning, studying in the afternoon and still taught classes. I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades with friends in several areas who enjoyed different experiences.
What led you to become a professional photographer?
My friends in the theater began asking me to photograph their productions for the stage to the point it became an important complement to my monthly budget. By then I was a twenty-eight-year-old going through an identity crisis, unhappy with my career in sociology. I worked for a big publishing group but I couldn't criticize society. This was a time of serious intellectual castration, subject to severe censorship in Brazil because of the military government. So in 1979 I decided I should write a book on the behavior of men, which I did and took the pictures. However, when I saw the photos and read my text, I immediately abandoned my short-lived dream of becoming a writer and took up photography, instead.
Did the project become your first book "Homens" (Men) on famous, sexy men in the nude?
Exactly. I made the opposite path of most photographers: I began with a book. When I saw my images were infinitely more powerful than my written words, it was clear what I should do. On top of that in the same period I was invited to go to London. For a whole month all I did was photograph. When I came back, I quit my job and embraced photography for life.
What photographers would you say influenced your work?
Basically my influence comes from English and American photographers but it was Antonioni's film "Blow-Up" (1966) that blew up my mind. I saw it eight times and it became the definitive influence on my career choice and my way of seeing through the lens.
You mean the photographer played by the young David Hemmings or Antonioni's direction?
Both, the superb direction by Michelangelo Antonioni and the photographer played by David Hemmings inspired in David Bailey's life as a photographer in swinging London. I also love the work of American photographer Richard Avedon. I'm a self-taught photographer who learned through trial and error, and they are my masters. I respect Brazilian photography but my influence came from abroad.
How do you select your images?
When I began in the trade, selecting the final image was always confusing for me. So I asked advice from my friend, art director Bea Feitler, who worked in New York for Harper's Bazaar, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. She told me very simply: "Do not follow the rules of technical perfection, follow your heart, always choose the photo you love best of all."
Now let us move on to your book "Pantanal," that challenged you to photograph on a walking stick after your accident.
It was my life's biggest psychological challenge and an exercise to recover my ability to walk again. I was lucky enough that the "freeways" at the Pantanal region are rivers, so I didn't have to stand up because I can't stand up for over an hour after the accident, so the rower sculled the boat and I sat and photographed with long-focus lens to capture the fauna and flora. With every trip to the Pantanal I felt my confidence and self-esteem being boosted. Pantanal became a physical, personal and professional challenge. You can tell yourself everything is OK but truth is you are more limited.
In your career you show a preference for capturing the male body, why is that?
I love the male body! Don't you?

What to do when you're bursting with enthusiasm to experience all that Mexico has to offer, but can only take off one week of work for vacation? It's more than a little loco -- and it will certainly make you loco -- to try and cram an entire country into one week. Tranquilo (relax). With some smart transportation choices and fastidious planning, a thorough Mexican sampling is still doable. Just remember not to leave rest and relaxation behind on your trip -- to do so would be missing the quintessential Mexican experience.
Choose one region that's got a lot of what you're looking for. You want to cut down on the travel time it will take you to get from place to place. So, for example, if you want to see ruins, but also want some killer surf, and maybe some mountain-trekking, but can't stand places that are too touristy, you would do well to confine your travel to Oaxaca state. The Yucatan peninsula is the place to go for sun, sand and Mayan ruins. Make San Luis Potosi your base for travel to San Miguel de Allende, Zacatecas and Guanajuato -- all centrally located cities full of colonial architecture and museums. These regions all have well-developed tourist infrastructures and are recommended particularly for first-time visitors to Mexico.
Create a detailed daily itinerary, but have a list of Plan B options just in case. To avoid packing too much into one day, limit yourself to one big activity per day, whether you're going to visit a cathedral or go on a tequila-tasting tour. Make adventures out of the little, daily routines. For example, take a night off taquerias and dine in Mexico City's hip neighborhood, Condesa, where you're likely to see more locals than tourists. Choose a homestay for a night if you're in a smaller town and get a glimpse into Mexican domestic life.
Know your transportation options. Mexico's bus lines are well-connected and affordable, but travel is often slow unless you can find an express bus. Also, some routes may not have daily service. Purchase bus tickets (boletos) at the bus station. If you can land an express bus for a short day's trip, then do it, but if you're going to be traveling to and fro, you may want to consider renting your own car. Keep in mind that renting a car comes with its own hassles, such as purchasing Mexican insurance. As per the latest travel warnings from the U.S. State Department, you should never drive in Mexico at night, and always stick to major toll roads and highways. If time is of the essence and money makes no difference, air travel is best for distances that can't be covered by car or bus in less than four hours.
Get intimate with a good guidebook. It will save you time figuring it all out once you get there. Read reviews of places to visit, restaurants to try and bars to hit up beforehand. "The People's Guide to Mexico" by Carl Franz is classic guide full of interesting cultural notes and tips for the more adventurous traveler. Learn a bit of conversational Spanish too. The BBC has a free 12-week course with all the basics, from ordering food to asking for directions.


Hello! Come in! There's some green tea in the little Indian box thing by the stove— please help yourself. It's good stuff. The kind you can get at Safeway is fine in a pinch, but this is a batch I picked up special in Chinatown. At this little place you may not have heard of. Down a couple dark corners from the tourist-beaten path. Mr. Wui sees me coming and he practically has the stuff weighed out on the counter for me before I'm even in the door.
After you've prepared your tea, please take a seat in the breakfast nook. Stop reading now and pick up again when you're settled in.
Comfy? If you kind of slouch down in your seat, you can see a little corner of Mount Baker under the eaves of those town homes over there. This is among the chief charms of the breakfast nook, along with the Sibley Birds calendar and little sparkly thing from Morocco dangling in the window. Go ahead and take a sip of tea and breathe consciously for a few minutes. OK, this is where I have to confess something. I have an ulterior motive here. Partly, of course, I want you to relax simply because you're my friend, and I care about your mental health. But—and here we're starting to tickle the surface of my ulteriority—I have a few new ideas to present, and it's vitally important for you to be in as receptive a mood as possible.
Don't worry—of course we'll get to the mundane specifics of what to feed Kunio and how to retrieve his feces. Those are detailed in Chapter Four, laid out in chart form in Appendix Two, and summarized on a laminated card tucked in the back pouch of this binder. This card is for you to keep on your person at all times for the duration of your dog-sitting duties. Please also notice the emergency contact list on the back of the card.
Before we get into these specifics, I'd like to use the early chapters to discuss my overall philosophy of dog care. This discussion will culminate in 10 principles that distill all previous material into a more easily memorized form.
But first—and I don't want you to be alarmed by this—I have to tell you that you're currently in violation of Principle the First: Greet love with love. It's very important that the first thing you do when you enter the house is to perform an expression of affection. This is especially true in my absence, when Kunio's liable to be in a fragile mental state and in need of a lot of assurance. For now you can utilize a simple calling-out of his name in a warm voice followed by a series of head-pats. Later we'll cover more complex greetings and rituals, including various pre- and post-walk absolutions.
For now, though, let's just rectify that little violation of yours. At this point, please put your tea down, exit the residence, close and lock the door, stand outside for a count of 30, unlock the door, reenter the residence, and perform the basic greeting we just discussed. We'll pick this up again when you get back.
The governor isn't a great dealmaker. His absences from Olympia may be helping get his bills passed.

Irish Economy Attracts Eastern European Immigrants For many years Ireland was one of the most homogeneous societies in the world. But that has changed with the sudden blossoming of the Irish economy and the free movement of labor from East European countries. Ireland now faces a flood of immigrants.

< Irish Economy Attracts Eastern European Immigrants
RENEE MONTAGNE, Host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm Steve Inskeep. Good morning.
This week on MORNING EDITION we're examining how immigration is changing some countries in Europe. Yesterday we heard how thousands of people have been leaving Poland in search of a better life. For many of them, the destination is Ireland.
MONTAGNE: Just a few years ago, Ireland had almost no immigrants at all. Now, thanks to the Irish economic miracle, the country has been transformed and immigrants have flooded in.
NPR's Rob Gifford reports from Dublin.
C: 30 in the morning, and the Breakfast Show is going out on Dublin's City Channel TV Station.
(SOUNDBITE OF THE BREAKFAST SHOW)
Unidentified Woman: (Speaking foreign language)
: Anchor Izabela Chudzicka hosts a five-times weekly Polish Magazine program for the 150,000 or so Poles in Ireland. It contains news from home and tips for recent migrants on how to adapt to a new city.
Chudzicka herself was in the first wave of Poles to arrive five years ago. Two years ago, Ireland allowed Poles and other eastern Europeans to work without visas. Chudzicka says the effect has been dramatic.
IZABELA CHUDZICKA: The Ireland I'm living in at the moment is completely different to the Ireland that I lived in five years ago. Dublin is amazing. You go down Gaston Street and it's difficult to find an Irish person. I'm not joking, you know? So it is very interesting, and I think it's very interesting for Irish people to see that change because they haven't experienced that before. They were the ones who were moving out, you know, moving to different countries.
: The Irish were indeed, for so long, the ones moving - emigrating to different countries. And there's no more grim reminder of that than the memorial here in front of me on the north bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin. Six starving figures dressed in rags, carved in bronze. This is the memorial to the victims of the Irish famine of the 1840s. A million died at that time, and a million more left Ireland. Now, that immigration is being reversed.
Thousands of young Irish men and women who left to find jobs abroad are now flooding home. And it's not just eastern Europeans who are joining them.
As many as 80,000 Chinese immigrants have come, and a large Chinese church has grown up catering for them. One section of central Dublin is now known as Little Africa, with hundreds of Nigerians selling all sorts of African goods and foods. In all, Ireland is taking in about 40,000 immigrants a year, almost 10 percent of the entire population of around five million is now immigrant. And many western Europeans, especially the French, are coming here too, in search of opportunities they can't find at home.
Jean Christophe Murat runs a recruitment agency in Dublin.
(SOUNDBITE OF SINGING)
JEAN CHRISTOPHE MURAT: And the fact is that in France there are a lot of problems, and the government is finding it difficult to solve it. So basically, people don't earn a lot of money, you know, and it's very competitive. So it's very difficult. So as soon as they see an opportunity in Ireland, you'll get a French candidate who will come over to Ireland. You'll probably have five or six offers within a month, you know? So, I mean, it's a big surprise for them. We can offer them multiple types of positions, you know, for, depending on their skills, and they'll go for several interviews. And at the end they'll be sure to have a job.
: So far, there seems to have been remarkably few incidents of tension between the immigrants and the local Irish population. But some observers believe this cannot last.
DAVID MCWILLIAMS: Everybody is collectively, in Ireland, anesthetized by economic success.
: David McWilliams is a columnist for the Irish Independent. He says no one in government seems to have thought about how this sudden influx of immigrants might affect Irish society.
MCWILLIAMS: Thus far it's gone fine, but it's all predicated on jobs for everybody. At the moment unemployment is 4 percent, so it's lower than the United States. But if that were to change... History tells you, U.K.'s history - if the economy slows down then people look for a scapegoat. And I have no doubt that when the downturn happens here, the immigrants will work for less than the average Irish guy, and we will have serious problems in blue collar (Unintelligible).
: McWilliams says the government needs to be realistic about how many migrants a country, an education system, a health service can absorb. But the Irish government does not seem to be thinking about quotas or restrictions, in fact quite the opposite. It's going out and recruiting more immigrants from places like China and India to fuel island economic boom.
Rob Gifford, NPR News, Dublin.

Study: Most Virtual MVPD Subs Pleased With Value
By Jeff Baumgartner 16 August 2017
Though the segement of consumers who subscribe to a virtual MVPD service is still relatively small, most of them are pleased with the value those services provide, according to a study from The Diffusion Group.
TDG's survey of 2,000 U.S. adult broadband users found that less than 5% of that group subscribe to a service such as Sling TV or DirecTV Now, but 86% that do say they are pleased with the value provided by those offerings.
Among those consumers, 49% ranked their OTT TV services as "very good" and 37% as "good," while 3% found them to be "poor" or "very poor," TDG found it data pulled from its Q2 Benchmarking the Connected Consumer project.
"Given that virtual pay-TV services are for the most part a value play, one premised on 'skinny' channel bundles at lower-than-cable prices, user value perception is a critical metric," Michael Greeson, president and principal analyst at TDG, said in a statement. "Early evidence suggests vMVPD providers are doing well in this regard. Users seem okay without the 'full Monty' of legacy pay-TV channels, and to be fairly tolerant of the shortcomings that haunt live streaming video, such as buffering, pixilation, and screen freezing."


Today suddenly I realised the name of The Man Who Fell Sideways.
has this video been posted already?
so where can I find that 'patch'?
maybe something flashy with neon? or some sort of drug?
PLEASE. Is this guy serious? Does he really think some ppl would believe these 'facts'. When did humor die?
you guys should definitely read Blokken by Ferdinand Bordewijk. Only problem is that it's originally Dutch, and I couldn't find a translation online (only looked quick). It's a pretty short story, but really neat.
I really love it that there are more ppl who like dystopian sci fi, like I do. I know NO ONE irl who does. So that's the sort of books I read most: Sci-fi-cyberpunk-dystopia-ish. But I also like other sci fi subgenres and some fantasy. Oh wait, I also like to read books about political ideolegies.
Re: Books that you're disappointed in after having finished.
HP didn't end cool. He just should've died. And that last chapter was really pathetic and useless.
I don't think the Suki/Azula/Sokka thing will happen like that. It would be awesome the way you described anywayz, but it's too 'dark' for the series. At least for the series so far. Really who has died? Even Zuko's mother is alive.
Agreed. Even Sokka is better at bending logic. Really, this guy is challenged. Doesn't mean he's unimportand for the group tho!
Toph just went underground and attacked Katara from there.
staying of the ground, maybe on some layer of ice.
Topic: Alcohol: How to use it?
Andromeda Nebula by Ivan Yefremov.
I read a little synopsis and it really intrigued me (its sci-fi in a communist future) but I thought it was really disappointing, I had a hard time forcing myself to finish it. Just to much romantisizing to me.
what's with the spoilers on already broadcasted episode info?
ontopic: do you guys also think that Toph > Katara?

Home ITC Comics Review: GREEN ARROW #30 (SPOILERS)
Review: GREEN ARROW #30 (SPOILERS)
I honestly hate referring to Black Canary, and even Emi, as sub-characters...
I think one of the things I say the most when I'm talking about comics is that GREEN ARROW is the most consistent and hands down the best book out of REBIRTH– it's 100% true. The creative team of Benjamin Percy (writer,) Otto Schmidt (artist,) Juan Ferreyra (artist) and company are legitimately pumping out A+ quality week in and week out (technically every other week, but if I'm being honest I wouldn't mind it every week.) This issue brings us one step closer to the finale of the "Hard-Traveling Hero" arc, and it simultaneously answered my prayers!
There has been a couple of things that I've been asking DC Comics to bring back that were lost in the mix with the NEW52, and I'd say that the #1 thing on that list was reuniting the Emerald Duo of Oliver Queen and my favorite character of ALL time… Hal Jordan!
Ben delivered for me– well, not technically for me personally, I don't think, but hey let's just run with it like he did. Last issue Batman suggested to Ollie that he calls in some help by putting up a signal of his own, and the signal we saw was none other than the iconic Green Lantern symbol. I had practically thrown the book out of my hands then, but that doesn't seem to equate to how satisfied I was with this issue.
One of my favorite things about this run is the villain, the Ninth Circle, and how dangerous they are both on paper and in person. You know you got a real threat when you have to call in members of the Justice League to help you, and even more so when Ollie had to mend his relationship with the Greatest Lantern of them ALL— Hal, and travel into space to get to the core of the problem.
Art & Colors by Otto Schmidt
I know this is most likely recency bias, but I can't think of a moment in recent comics where the dialogue between two characters was perfect like Ben delivered here (panel above.) He had already captured the voice of the "Emerald Archer" for the last thirty issues, but to nail Ollie and Hal's riffing, and most importantly their bromance, in a single issue is amazing!
Okay, okay, okay, I might have fibbed a little when I said a few moments ago that seeing Ollie and Hal reunite as the Emerald Duo was number-one on my list of things I wanted out of REBIRTH– that spot actually belonged to us — the Green Arrow and Black Canary fans — getting the "Emerald Archer" and "Pretty Bird" back together as one of the best couples in the DCU. But that aside, seeing Dinah and Emi leading the subplot of this arc has been a treat.
It's been a great way of keeping Dinah and Emi relevant while Ollie's off on the main portion of the story. Normally in a book, sub-characters– I honestly hate referring to Black Canary, and even Emi, as sub-characters, but that's kind of what they are in the overall story, they'd get lost if not outright left out of the story. BUT Ben did what he does so well, and that's tell a story where all the characters fit seamlessly into and benefit it instead of just being dropped in and out-of-place.
I'm going to take a moment here to gush over the one-and-only's, Otto Schmidt (artist,) art in this issue and the entire run thus far– so indulge me if you would. His style is quite unique, and has this ability to capture the characters in an embracing form. It kind of has this "new school" vibe to it, and it works so well with the Green Arrow cast of characters. I was especially happy to see how awesome Otto's Hal looks, and he definitely has a way with drawing the space-adventure side that leans in the Lantern corner of the DCU.
You can pick up GREEN ARROW #30 at your local comic shop now, and GREEN ARROW #31 hits the same shelves on Wednesday, September 20th,
"HARD TRAVELING HERO" finale! For a year Oliver Queen has been one step behind the Ninth Circle. Now he knows why: an orbiting fortress from which the super-villain financial empire secretly spies, steals, buys, sells and kills everyone and everything Green Arrow needs to defeat them. And. It. Is. Going. DOWN. It'll take the whole Justice League to clean up the mess in this epic conclusion to the most star-studded GREEN ARROW story ever!
GREEN ARROW #30
I feel sad that this arc, and even the antagonist, are coming to an end. This issue has definitely brought everything to a head, and thus set up a finale of epic proportions. With the way this run is going, I feel confident saying Percy, Schmidt and Ferreyra as a team are joining Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo and Robert Venditti/Billy Tan on my list of all-time favorite creative teams.

The 87th Infantry Division (87. Infanterie-Division) was a unit of the Imperial German Army in World War I. The division was formed in February 1915 as the provisional Dickhuth Corps (Korps Dickhuth), named after its commander, and became the 87th Infantry Division in August 1915.[1] The division was disbanded in 1919 during the demobilization of the German Army after World War I.
The 87th Infantry Division initially served on the Eastern Front, fighting on the Polish frontier and in the Gorlice-Tarnów Offensive. It fought in the battle of Lake Njemen and the battle of Vilnius in September 1915. From October 1915 to September 1917, the division occupied the line between Lake Narač and Lake Drūkšiai. In November/December 1917, it occupied the line near Daugavpils. After the armistice on the Eastern Front, the division remained stationary on the armistice line until February and March 1918, when it was involved in fighting in the Baltic region.
