Earliest departure to U.S. Sun, Dec 14 DIS housing closes at noon 1.4 PASSPORTS AND VISAS By now you should have your passport. If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need a visa in advance of your arrival in Denmark but you WILL need to obtain a residency permit on arrival and DIS will help you with this. By now, all of you should have received an email from DIS about the process and about any documents that you will need to bring with you to Denmark. They will also bill you $300 directly for the residency permit fees as these are charged by the Danish government. The permit is NOT covered by your HWS tuition but is your own responsibility as it is in lieu of a visa. If you are a citizen of a country that is not visa-exempt, you will follow a similar procedure as for the U.S. students but will need to secure your visa in advance of going to Denmark. DIS will help you. One rule, across programs; make copies of your passport’s identification page (with the photo on it) any pages with entry stamps, as well as your residency permit once you have one in your passport). Put these copies in various locations. Leave one at home with your parents. Put them in different pieces of luggage/locations. Here’s why: if you lose your passport, having a copy of it will make getting a new one much, much easier. 1.5 POWER OF ATTORNEY/MEDICAL RELEASE Sometimes, after students have departed the U.S., important issues arise that require legal signatures or procedures. An example is a student loan or financial aid document that requires a student signature – but you will be gone and generally a fax or photocopy is not considered ‘legal’ in lieu of an original signature. We recommend that you consider signing Power of Attorney over to your parent(s) to cover such eventuality. Since the form and process varies from state to state, we cannot cover all options here but you can easily find Power of Attorney information for your state online. In a similar vein, we encourage you to prepare and sign a general release giving permission for insurance companies and medical practitioners to speak with your parents in the case of emergencies and so that they can help you make medical decisions and/or file claims on your behalf. You can bring a copy of this with you and leave one with your parent(s). If you are uncomfortable with signing a general release, you can also sign more limited or specific releases to control or release 4 specific sorts of information. Keep in mind that if you are over 18, medical providers may refuse to share any information at all about your condition without such written consent which will limit your parents’ ability to assist you. 1.6 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT IDENTITY CARD (ISIC) You may want to purchase the $25.00 International Student Identity Card (ISIC). This card provides coverage for a lost passport, baggage delay or loss and other traveler services like cell phone plans etc. and entitles you to student discounts in most countries. The ISIC card is also a pre-paid Mastercard so you can add money to it if you’d like to and use it up to the value on the card. Order the card online at http://www.myisic.com/. Finally, if your passport is lost or stolen, you will be eligible for special replacement services which will expedite the process and pay for a new passport. Be sure to make a photocopy of the card in case you lose it; the cost of replacing it will be covered by ISIC as long as you have the ID number and issue date from the card, although you will need to pay for the new card up front and put in a claim for reimbursement. Some students have reported that they were able to change currency with no fee when they showed their ISIC card, so do ask about this when changing money. 1.7 VOTING FROM ABROAD DURING ELECTION YEARS If you are not already registered as a voter in your home state (or in Geneva, NY), you can register before you leave the U.S. so that you are able to vote by absentee ballot while abroad. Most states now offer voter registration at the local Department of Motor Vehicles. You can register EVEN if you can’t drive! Please see section 4.8 of this guide for more information on obtaining an absentee ballot once you are a registered voter. 1.8 TRAVEL DATES/GROUP ARRIVAL There will not be a group flight for Copenhagen. However, if you are interested in working with a travel agent specializing in student travel to make the arrangements for you, you might want to contact Advantage Travel at 1-315-471-2222.

    D1d E-USE(Aq) Technical Performance & Monitoring Report

    D1d E-USE(aq) Technical performance & monitoring report Danish pilot 1 Summary Danish Pilot in Birkerød The site Hammerbakken 10 in Birkerød, Denmark is highly polluted with chlorinated solvents, especially TCE is a dominant contaminant. In laboratory studies by Environmental Technology Wageningen University it was shown that biodegradation of chlorinated solvents could be stimulated at low redox conditions at elevated temperatures like in ATES systems. The hot spot contaminated site at Hammerbakken 10 was selected by the Capital Region of Denmark (CRD) to demonstrate the stimulation of biodegradation of chlorinated solvents at pilot scale. The pilot was realized by the end of December 2017 and monitored thereafter in 2018. The ATES recirculation systems showed to operate as expected, whereas biodegradation was not stimulated in the first 6 months, as the redox was too oxic to allow biodegradation of chlorinated solvents. In June, electron donor was added to lower the redox. After July the first reductive dechlorination was monitored up to 30% dechlorination. However only DCE was formed and no significant other products as VC and finally ethene were formed. In early November a DHC culture was added, which readily resulted in a high dechlorination degree of already about 78% in monitoring well 1 within 2 weeks. Until March 2019 the wells will be further monitored for the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated solvent (mainly TCE). From the pilot experiment in 2018 it can be concluded that the ATES system as such functioned well without clogging by the presence of measurable oxygen concentrations in the first half year of operation. The applied ATES system showed to be fit to stimulate biodegradation of chlorinated solvents at optimized conditions like addition of electron donor and addition of a specific dechlorinating culture.
  • Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature

    Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature

    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Medieval Icelandic Studies Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature A Brief Study Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Li Tang Kt.: 270988-5049 Leiðbeinandi: Torfi H. Tulinius September 2015 Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my supervisor, Torfi H. Tulinius for his confidence and counsels which have greatly encouraged my writing of this paper. Because of this confidence, I have been able to explore a domain almost unstudied which attracts me the most. Thanks to his counsels (such as his advice on the “Blóð-Egill” Episode in Knýtlinga saga and the reading of important references), my work has been able to find its way through the different numbers. My thanks also go to Haraldur Bernharðsson whose courses on Old Icelandic have been helpful to the translations in this paper and have become an unforgettable memory for me. I‟m indebted to Moritz as well for our interesting discussion about the translation of some paragraphs, and to Capucine and Luis for their meticulous reading. Any fault, however, is my own. Abstract It is generally agreed that some numbers such as three and nine which appear frequently in the two Eddas hold special significances in Norse mythology. Furthermore, numbers appearing in sagas not only denote factual quantity, but also stand for specific symbolic meanings. This tradition of number symbolism could be traced to Pythagorean thought and to St. Augustine‟s writings. But the result in Old Norse literature is its own system influenced both by Nordic beliefs and Christianity. This double influence complicates the intertextuality in the light of which the symbolic meanings of numbers should be interpreted.
  • Dennis Investigates Anglo-Saxon Dragons

    Dennis Investigates Anglo-Saxon Dragons

    What does an Anglo-Saxon have in common with the staff at Lincoln Castle? They both love stories Dennis the Investigate dragon has been finding out Dennis The Dragon’s about dragons! about the history of dragons. It turns out that people way back in Anglo-Saxon times were telling stories Delicious Claw Cookies about dragons too! ~ Who were the Anglo-Saxons? ~ Well they were a mixture. Sometime after the end of Roman rule in Britain some groups of people who had been raiding Roman Britain turned up and settled down. They came from across the North Sea, northwest Germany, western Denmark and northern Netherlands. They were a mixture of tribes that included Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians. As well as mixing together, they mixed with the locals (though there was some fighting). Later on, when Vikings settled parts of England (especially here in Lincolnshire) the two groups mixed again. In 1066 the last Anglo-Saxon king was killed at the Battle of Hastings and the Normans took over. An Anglo-Saxon church once stood where the Castle is now. ~ Anglo-Saxon Dragons ~ In the year 793 the Anglo-Saxons wrote in their Chronicle that they saw fiery dragons in the sky. It sounds incredible to us, but it was probably a real thing that they saw. In northern Europe you sometimes see strange red lights in the sky; we call them the Northern Lights and we know they are caused by sunspots which are more active about every 11 years. When we consult the charts, it seems 793 is very close to a peak in sunspots, so the Anglo-Saxons weren't seeing things that did not exist, just things they couldn't explain so they thought the lights were dragons! (although, of course, we aren’t saying dragons don’t exist!) ~ Beowulf and the Dragon ~ This story is adapted from Beowulf, a poem from the Dark Ages.

    Who Were the Anglo-Saxons? Part of History Anglo-Saxons the Last Roman Soldiers Left Britain in 410

    Who were the Anglo-Saxons? Part of History Anglo-Saxons The last Roman soldiers left Britain in 410. New people came in ships across the North Sea – the Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxon age in Britain was from around AD410 to 1066. They were a mix of tribes from Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands. The three biggest were the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes. The land they settled in was 'Angle-land', or England. If we use the modern names for the countries they came from, the Saxons were German-Dutch, the Angles were southern Danish, and the Jutes were northern Danish. Growing up in an Anglo-Saxon village Anglo-Saxon children had to grow up quickly. By the time they were ten, they were seen as an adult. This wasn't always a good thing. They had to work as hard as any adult and would be punished as adults, if they stole or broke the law. Girls worked in the home. They were in charge of housekeeping, weaving cloth, cooking meals, making cheese and brewing ale. Boys learned the skills of their fathers. They learned to chop down trees with an axe, how to plough a field and how to use a spear in battle. They also fished and went hunting with other men from the village. Only a few girls and boys learned to read and write. The sons of kings or wealthy families might be taught at home by a private teacher. The only schools were run by the Christian church, in monasteries. Some children lived there to train as monks and nuns.

All around them are people pushing through, oars plunging deep— Those who have proved themselves strong— And amongst these people they feel completely alone, Worthless, Too weak to man the oar. Seeing the vacant seat at the oarlock were they should reside, They sit alone, feeling they have nowhere to go, Wasted space on a mission doomed to fail. To all those who feel as such, there is but one thing that you should know: We all have a place aboard this broken boat. Even those who seem so strong manning the oars are just strokes away from collapsing, Only fighting through the pain for the good of everyone else on board. Know that even if you can’t take an oar in calloused hands, there is a place for you. Though you may feel that nothing you do will keep the ship afloat, An encouraging word to those manning the oars Could be the only thing keeping those you deemed strong moving. Everyone has a place here. All Vikings. All in.

    The Assembly Project – Meeting-Places in Northern Europe AD 400- 1500

    The Assembly Project – Meeting-places in Northern Europe AD 400- 1500 Presentation, Vienna June 25th 2010 Dr. Frode Iversen/TAP “Ubi societas, ibi jus – ” I will start with this quotation: “Ubi societas, ibi jus –” if there is a society, there will be law, apparently by Cicero (De legibus 1,42), and the picture underneath shows what a assembly place among the “barbarians” in the north actually looked like in the middle ages. The overall aim of the project is to investigate the role of assemblies in the creation of collective identities and emergent kingdoms in medieval Northern Europe The merging of different regional laws into one national law is a characteristic of the process of Kingdom unification. Laws are powerful instruments in such contexts. In Scandinavia there were 16 rural provincial law areas prior to the 13th century. By the mid 14th century they had been reduced to only 5. Both Sweden and Norway became uniformed law-areas, more or less similar to the modern nations. The earlier extent manuscripts in Scandinavia date from the 12th century, but these legal systems are much older. Only archeology can illuminate these. Medieval laws were based on customary practices. The laws were remembered and transferred in an oral form, by a law- speaker – at specific places in the landscape – thing sites. The thing seems to have functioned within a fixed geographical area. Here, the norms of society were formed, the line between right and wrong was determined. Such ritualized meeting places are called "the correct things site” – “den rette tingstad”, in Scandinavian laws.
