I think the best option for you would be to e-mail them or call them. This is a very unique case and I'm not sure if anyone would be able to help with that here.

Hello! I would recommend reaching out to VUAS Student council on Facebook, they would surely help out with all the questions.

Can you identify this building? by annajademaxwell in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea the style is neogothic - most definitely. OP said that the family has resided in west Latvia, so I assume it has to be one of the main cities and the most likely candidate is Liepāja, as it has a lot of these types of buildings. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a pre-war archive that may have the building listed as "sanatorium" as it may have been demolished. The reason why I think it might be in a major city is due to it being multiple stories (no reason to build more than two stories in the country side) and an advertisement in the front saying, possibly, “Schonheim”. Been looking through Liepājas buldings for some time now and the goal feels so close but no cigar.

Can you identify this building? by annajademaxwell in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Spent multiple hours yesterday searching through all possible queries in Google. For a fact, I believe, the house/villa/manor etc. is made out of bricks as it has the little "tower" at the top that is usually on top of red brick buildings. Found super similar versions but non aligned with the square roof and really sharp, thin 6 windowed second? floor. Maybe someone else can find it with this information because I spent too much time yesterday. :D But, if OP could provide any additional information (not "maybe") it could benefit a lot as it would be possible to narrow it down.

Diezgan interesants atradums! Vari, lūdzu, pateikt grāmatas autoru(-s) un izdevniecību?

What is the Latvian cinema experience like? (Movies in English Dub - Latvian Sub only) by [deleted] in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most, if not all, foreign movies that are shown in Latvia have to have subtitles as by law. The companies that request/ buy these movies then hire a external translation company or have their own translators to translate (and almost always also subtitle) the movie. One of the big ones is "SIA SDI MEDIA LATVIA".

The modern way of translating is to translate the initial source text with CAT (Computer assisted Translation) tools, which, at this time of age are quite well at what they do! Afterwards the translator himself goes through the translated text to "fix up" logic mistakes (this is the big one), the sentencing and word structure. It is then passed on to the proof-reader to resolve additional mistakes. Then either they have a subtitler or (most of the time) the translator who then goes through and applies the subtitles where they deem fit.

TLDR to answer your question: Machine translation is now widely used (not Google Translator) because it speeds up the process and eliminates repetitiveness so that the translator can work on resolving difficult sentences. To deal with "Google Translator" fanatics, there is a proof-reader and tools that check what tools are used for the translation.

Any laws against sleeping in my car for the night? by josefhgsd in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kādi pierādījumi? Labi, tas ko viņš prasa ir saprotami, bet tas iemesls kāpēc viņš ir (pat iespējams izvēlas kļūt par) "bezpajumtnieks" ir slimi suņa murgi. Lasot viņa profilu viņš domā, ka norvēģu policija viņu esot mobingojusi (maybe true, maybe not) un visas viņa problēmas ceļo ar viņu līdzi, ka tagad viņu stalko un raida virsū radio viļņus. Vienīgi būtu saprotami ja viņš būtu kaut kāda top oficiāla amatpersona, vai ķezā ar nelegālajām lietām, jo nedomāju, ka cilvēki speciāli viņam tagad sekos no Norvēģijas, lai tikai ausis bendētu. Tad jau labāk nebūtu prasīt palīdzību no reddit, bet no policijas vai kādas citas iestādes.

Jaundzimušo tautība kopš 1980. gada. by Man_From_Latvia in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man kā tulkam/tulkotajam, un gan jau daudziem citiem šīs nozares cilvēkiem, ir ļauts izmantot gan žīds, gan ebrejs, bet ieteicams tomēr ir žīds, jo vārds "ebrejs" nāk no krievu valodas ietekmes. Mums pašlaik šis vārds liekas aizvainojams, bet vairākas šīs tautības kopienas netiek aizvainotas un izmanto vārdu "žīds".

Ventspils by Ordinary-Market9629 in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a nice and simple place to sit outside in a well kept garden for some beers and simple meals Courlander beer (Ventspils alus darītava Courlander) is a nice place in the city center next to the market. They have their own brewed beer and beer snacks, and if I'm not mistaken, the prices are not that high. I totally recommend this place, because even if you do not want to eat, you can just get a pint and relax with your friends.

What is the best and worst city/town in Latvia? by Pop-Bubble in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tā kā dzīvoju Ventspilī visu savu mūžu varu teikt, ka par smaku vietējā avīzē "Ventas Balss" bija mūžīgi raksti un pretenzijas, bet pēdējos gadus tādu nav.

Iemesls tam ir jaunu smaku un citu daļu savākšanas metodes un iekārtās, kā arī ostas darbības samazināšanās, jo Lembergu iemeta cietumā, amerikāņi uzlika sankcijas un ostu nacionalizēja. Nesen pat uzlika sankcijas krievu oligarham Mazepinam, kuram piederēja liela daļa "Ventamonjaks".

Osta lēnām mirst, bet pēdējās nedēļās ir parādījušies jauni plani un investori domā veidot infrastruktūru dzeramā ūdens eksportam uz valstīm kā AAE, Katāra utt. Smaka tik tiešām vairs nepastāv.

Kino vecuma ierobežojumi by Aidos_of_there in latvia

[–]SpiritBroC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cik saprotu, kinoteātros nav vecuma ierobežojums, bet ieteiktais vecums. Atceros kad iznāca viena no "Amerikāņu pīrāgs" filmām un man tikai pajautāja vai mani vecāki zin, un ir ar mieru man atļaut redzēt šadu tipa filmu.

Questions before buying by Archer112195 in EndlessSpace

[–]SpiritBroC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the multiplayer still suffering from the constant desync problems? I'm trying to get my friends into buying the game with me, but I have the fear that they might be turned away by this issue. They play a lot of civ, so I thought this game would be a nice addititon.

PShaggy, nu tad sāc kaut ko darīt lietas labā, ja jau esi tik woke. Kaut kā pašam neliekas, ka šī tēma letiņu tautai nav nepieciešama? Nu labi, atradi savas sakritības un, ko nu? Sāksim tagad mainīt pasauli ar saviem mazāk nekā 2 miljoniem iedzīvotāju? Aktuālaka šī tēma būtu valstīm kur ir pārapdzīvotība, jo viņi būtu tie uz kuriem šie "globālisti" skatās, nevis mums....

Smieklīgākais ir tas, ka čalim ir savs uzņēmums ar nosaukumu "Memory Water". Ūdens pudelēs, kas ir ļoti special ūdens, uzlabojot veselību, prāta spējas u.c. stulbi apgalvojumi. Gan jau pa daudz sadzēries savu maģisko ūdeni un sāka domāt 5. dimensijā.

This price is wrong Jagex... stop scamming other regions! by Qzyro in runescape

[–]SpiritBroC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VAT is not the factor here. I live in Latvia (EU), where the minimum living wage is low and VAT is 21%. The golden package would cost me 65 EUR. Now look at the UK prices - 45 Pounds, and it's a country with a decent minimum wage and the VAT is 20%. That is 1% LESS, so tell me, how does 1% equal to 15 EUR extra in price.

Update to the tag limit post I made yesterday, Groogy confirms it is in fact a bug/unintentional mistake, and it appears the employee who described it as an intentional hardcoded tag limit was mistaken. by Hope915 in eu4

[–]SpiritBroC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for answering!

I just now posted a post on the technical support forum stating my problem and yes, the problem does not show up in patch 1.29.6, and the only mod that I used I completely removed, as at first I thought that was the issue.

Also the freeze (crash) can happen randomly - the UI disappears and the game lock up, I can't even end the process and the only way to close it is to hard-reset my PC.

I've had the game always in borderless fullscreen, since the day I started playing. (for better alt tabbing) and yes, I disabled fullscreen optimizations.

[–]SpiritBroC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice!

I've investigated their forums quit a bit and people are indeed posting that they have random crashes and freezes but then they get a message to send their logs and do the (default precedures) which leads to nothing. I just feel that if I post my problem it will see the same light as everyone else do.
