Every northern culture has legends about the aurora, passed down for generations. During the Viking period, northern lights were referred to as reflections from dead maid- ens. The phenomenon was often referred to as a vengeful force. In ancient times, most people were afraid of the lights. The Sámi people called it guovssahas, the light you can hear. Many people still argue that they can hear some crackling sounds—often synchronized with the movements of the aurora. Since sound waves cannot propagate in space it should be impossible for sound to travel down to the ground. Scientists are still working on ex- plaining this phenomenon. The Inuit people in the northernmost parts of Canada believed that the northern lights were created by spirits, which, dressed in the mystical light, were having fun while the sun was away, playing soccer with a walrus skull. The rapidly moving auroras were called the dance of death. The Mandan Indians of North Dakota ex- plained the lights as fires over which the great medicine men and warriors of northern nations simmered their dead enemies in enormous pots.

  • Possible Violation of the Water Framework Directive by the Norwegian Government
    Orkanger, 19. December 2017 Efta Surveillance Agency Rue Belliard 35 B- 1040 Brussels Belgium [email protected] Possible violation of the Water Framework Directive by the Norwegian government Our address and information Naturvernforbundet i Orklaregionen NGO co/ Mads Løkeland Norwegian environmentalist organisation. Emmavegen 34 N7300 Orkanger Friends of the earth Norway, local branch in Norway Orkdal e-mail: [email protected] http://naturvernforbundet.no/?lang=en_GB phone: +47 95 05 67 26 The purpose of this letter We request EFTA Surveillance Agency’s (ESA’s) assessment on whether Norway has violated the Water Framework Directive (WFD) by allowing the removal of Furumokjela, an important part of the estuary of the river Orkla in Orkdal1. Furumokjela is to be filled with gravel/ soil, and our question is whether the removal of Furumokjela represents a violation of principles and targets set by the WFD. The Water Framework Directive of EU is accepted as Norwegian law, normally referred to as Vannforskriften (The Norwegian Water Regulation), and entered into force in 2007. This means that it is highly probable that a violation of the Norwegian Water Regulation represents a violation of WFD as well. The river Basin Management Plan covering the Orkla estuary was adopted by the Norwegian government in July 2016. 1 Orkdal is a municipality of Sør Trøndelag, mid-Norway. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Adress: v/ Mads Løkeland, Emmavegen 34, N7300 Orkanger, Norway E-mail: [email protected], tlf: 95056726 The river Orkla is 182 km long from Orkelsjøen to Orkdalsfjorden, has a mean water flow of 67 m3/second at the estuary, and is especially important for salmon and sea trout.

  • Lights Newsletter, Summer 2020
    August 2020 Our world has changed, both globally and in Toronto where LIGHTS operates. Dealing with the unforeseen challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on people who have an intellectual disability and their families. The 3,600 individuals waiting for long-term housing in Toronto were al- ready on the edge of crisis and are now facing even greater barriers to seeking a home of their own. The emotional, physical, and financial drain on them will be even more overwhelming now. A few people in the LIGHTS family had the opportunity to meet with Minister Todd Smith’s staff by phone earlier this summer. We heard that the Ministry of Children, Advisory Board Community and Social Services is committed to protecting the health and well-being of all individuals who have an intellectual disability. The challenge is huge and changes in how services are delivered and funded need to occur. Mary Pat Armstrong, Chair This Ministry believes in a system that supports a responsive, person-directed Doug Biggar approach that is sustainable for many years. Minister Smith’s staff shared with us Andrew Boddington that the Ministry will be undertaking Developmental Services Sector Reform. This Lisa Davis approach needs to include long-term policy and program changes and they Iain Dobson understand this may take up to ten years to completely put in place. Hopefully, the Ann Doritty core fundamental elements will be solid and lasting. They told us that the approach Joanne Fletcher to our sector will be individualized, needs-based, person-directed, responsive, and Katie Flynn seamless.

  • Measuring the Inaccurate: Causes and Consequences of Train Delays
    Summary: Measuring the inaccurate: Causes and consequences of train delays TØI Report 1459/2015 Author(s): Askill Harkjerr Halse, Vegard Østli and Marit Killi Oslo 2015, 71 pages Norwegian language In this report, we argue that the rich available data on train performance and railway infrastructure should be used to get precise measurements of economic relationships in railway management. As one such exercise, we first show how temporary speed reductions on railway links caused by low infrastructure quality affects running time and delays for Norwegian freight trains. Even though each speed reduction only adds about 44-50 seconds to running time, speed reductions still contribute to delay at the destination. Secondly, we show that delays has a negative effect on demand for passenger and freight trains services. The corresponding demand elasticity is lower than the one implied by willingness-to-pay studies, consistent with evidence from Great Britain. In is widely acknowledged in the transportation economics literature that more reliable transport time constitutes an economic benefit. In the presence of unreliability, individuals and firms adjust by taking costly measures like departing early or keeping a safety stock of goods. The ‘cost’ of train delays is therefore the foregone benefits that could have been achieved if all trains were running on time. Much of the existing literature on railway punctuality is based on optimization and/or simulation, calling for more empirical studies. In the innovation project PRESIS, funded by the Research Council of Norway and the Norwegian National Rail Administration, we have developed methods to survey reliability in the Norwegian rail sector.

  • Joni Mitchell," 1966-74
    "All Pink and Clean and Full of Wonder?" Gendering "Joni Mitchell," 1966-74 Stuart Henderson Just before our love got lost you said: "I am as constant as a northern star." And I said: "Constantly in the darkness - Where 5 that at? Ifyou want me I'll be in the bar. " - "A Case of You," 1971 Joni Mitchell has always been difficult to categorize. A folksinger, a poet, a wife, a Canadian, a mother, a party girl, a rock star, a hermit, a jazz singer, a hippie, a painter: any or all of these descriptions could apply at any given time. Moreover, her musicianship, at once reminiscent of jazz, folk, blues, rock 'n' roll, even torch songs, has never lent itself to easy categorization. Through each successive stage of her career, her songwriting has grown ever more sincere and ever less predictable; she has, at every turn, re-figured her public persona, belied expectations, confounded those fans and critics who thought they knew who she was. And it has always been precisely here, between observers' expec- tations and her performance, that we find contested terrain. At stake in the late 1960s and early 1970s was the central concern for both the artist and her audience that "Joni Mitchell" was a stable identity which could be categorized, recognized, and understood. What came across as insta- bility to her fans and observers was born of Mitchell's view that the honest reflection of growth and transformation is the basic necessity of artistic expres- sion. As she explained in 1979: You have two options.

  • Strategisk Analyse Og Verdsettelse Av Rosenborg Ballklub
    Strategisk analyse og verdsettelse av Rosenborg Ballklub BE305E Finansiering og investering Bodø, 2015 Stig Roland Nyvik Kristian Holhjem Almli Abstract The purpose of this master’s thesis was to valuate Rosenborg Ballklub per 1 January 2015. The valuation of Rosenborg was conducted using fundamental valuation. We chose this method because it allowed us to base the valuation on analyses of strategy and financial statements. This method is considered to be the most suitable to use when valuating a football club such as Rosenborg. Rosenborg is Norway’s most successful football club, having won more than 20 league titles. Norwegian football clubs have in recent years experienced a recession due to declining attendances, lower revenue from sponsorship deals and few success stories in European club competitions. Our valuation is based on financial statements for the period 2010-2014, while the strategic analysis stems from statements by Rosenborg, sports websites and news articles. The PESTEL analysis indicates that the main macroeconomic challenges for Norwegian football clubs are legislative changes and fluctuations in the economy. The external analysis revealed that the greatest threats were high rivalry among clubs and the media´s increased bargaining power. In the internal analysis we have identified Rosenborg’s strengths and weaknesses. The strategic analysis is summarised in a SWOT analysis, where we see that the club has several enduring advantages. The analysis of the financial statements shows that Rosenborg's revenue has been declining through the period, which confirms the economic challenges the industry is facing. Simultaneously, we see that Rosenborg is better equipped to meet these challenges through a greater solvency than the footballing industry at large.
