"WAVE" No.32
June 2009


Editorial

Dear friends,

I am not sure is it about the summer but it seems like things are becoming different. Citizens of European Union are not interested to vote in elections, economics is going down and some famous industries are broken, Eurosong has its new voting system and a new winner, of course! So, WAVE magazine has its new release date but we promise this delay will be only for this month, as it was caused be some unpredictable conditions. Already in July, while you are preparing for summer holiday, new issue will be online between 10th and 15th. I hope you trust to us.

One more new thing - we made a new monthly record in unique visits on our website! We had about 32,000 visits to wavemagazine.net in May and that is what we consider your win. Yes, our readers told us we are doing well and also motivated the whole WAVE team to work even better. Because records are here to be beaten, right?

European elections are Topic of the issue for our June issue. In this section you will find analysis and comments after "the Old Continent" voting. In Politics there is more about Europe, actually two interviews - a kind of debate on future EU enlargement. We also bring you a story about Sri Lanka peace. Society section brings to you an impressions from foreigner living in Netherlands and one interesting story from YouTube. No, not the usual one. World financial crisis is still actual, so where is the place of youth. That's what we are trying to explain in Economics. And connected to that, Rupert Murdoch has announced his online publications will not be for free anymore. Let's see how he imagine the future. In Culture & Arts we have an interview with young opera singer, and story about one music band. Also we have visited traditional Night of Museums. Our Brazilian correspondent writes for you about Humberto Maturana in Science & Tech. The second Grand Slam Tournament of the year - Roland Garros has brought some changes and surprises, so Rafa is not the king of Parisian clay anymore. And finally, prepare for EXIT festival, it's so close!


Enjoy your reading!
