Welcome to the Tre Lag Stevne in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were last in the Twin Cities area in 2009 in this same location. In a metropolitan area of this size it is not as easy to see the results of the Norwegian immigration as in smaller towns and rural communities. But the evidence is there if you look for it. This year’s speakers will tell the story of the Norwegians who contributed to the richness of American culture through literature, art, architecture, politics, medicine and science. You may recognize a few of their names, but many are unsung heroes who quietly added strands to the fabric of America and the world. We hope to astonish you with the diversity of their talents. Our tour will take us to the first Norwegian church in America, which was moved from Muskego, Wisconsin to the grounds of Luther Seminary,. We’ll stop at Mindekirken, established in 1922 with the mission of retaining Norwegian heritage. It continues that mission today. We will also visit Norway House, the newest organization to promote Norwegian connectedness. Enjoy the program, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and continue to learn about our shared heritage.

Prostacki teatr. Udawanie bólu za wielkie pieniądze. Zapasy profesjonalne, potocznie zwane po prostu wrestlingiem, choć śledzone przez miliony osób na całym świecie, wciąż wzbudzają kontrowersje wśród przypadkowych odbiorców. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę uchwycenia istoty i kulturowego znaczenia tego pozornie nieskomplikowanego sportu. Jak zauważa Dariusz Kosiński, widowiska sportowe często są lekceważone i marginalizowane jako potencjalny przedmiot badań, sprowadzane do roli czczej rozrywki i bezproduktywnej zabawy2. Przekonanie to wydaje się wypływać z ignorowania faktu, iż są one istotną częścią życia społecznego. Kosiński postrzega sport jako „najpełniejszą reprezentację współczesnej kultury światowej”3, stanowiącą „najpełniejszy, najbardziej precyzyjny w swojej złożoności metakomentarz dotyczący jej podstawowych wartości, znaczeń i sposobów działania”4. Dziedzinę, która zawiera w sobie złożoną płaszczyznę performatywną – co badacz ukazuje na przykładzie meczu piłki nożnej.

Etter slikt arbeid viser det seg ofte at det oppstår setningar og sprekkdanningar som følgje av mangelfull istandsetting. Dette medfører ein dårlegare standard på vegar og gater. Nettverksgruppen Veg og trafikk Hordaland har med utgangspunkt i Statens vegvesen – Region vest sine Retningliner for framføring av kablar, leidningar og graving i offentleg veg -2006, tilpassa desse for kommunane i Hordaland. Målet er det same: sikre ei effektiv og omsynsfull gjennomføring og ei fullgod istandsetting etter arbeidet, slik at samfunnet ikkje vert påført unødige ulemper og kostnader. Dette heftet skal gi opplysningar om kva ein søknad skal innehalde og kvar den skal sendast. I tillegg vert det informert om korleis arbeidet skal gjennomførast og kva for krav som vert stilla, samt det ansvar den som gjennomfører arbeidet har. Retningslinene gjeld for alle type arbeid, til dømes boring og graving i veg og gategrunn, samt for luftstrekk over veg m.m. Det vil normalt ikkje bli gitt graveløyve i veger og gater som har nyare dekke enn 3 år. Den einskilte kommune kan fastsetje lengre sperrefrist. Retningslinene gjeld for fylgjande kommunar og søknad om graving i

The first eight patients were 15–21 years old from the Nordhordland area, initiating a carrier study in the local high schools. Carriage of SR serogroup C meningococci was detected by routine methods and treated with a single dose of ofloxacin 400 mg. Of 20 treated carriers, 14 harboured the outbreak strain C:15:P1.7,16. Vaccination of 4000 children, adolescents and close contacts of patients was also performed. After the intervention, 14 additional cases of meningococcal disease occurred, 8 due to the outbreak strain. However, incidence rates dropped from 180 to 30 per 100000 per year in the student population, but increased from 0 to 13 in the rest of the population in Nordhordland.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Digital Journalism: Making News, Breaking News
    MAPPING DIGITAL MEDIA: GLOBAL FINDINGS DIGITAL JOURNALISM: MAKING NEWS, BREAKING NEWS Mapping Digital Media is a project of the Open Society Program on Independent Journalism and the Open Society Information Program Th e project assesses the global opportunities and risks that are created for media by the switch- over from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting; the growth of new media platforms as sources of news; and the convergence of traditional broadcasting with telecommunications. Th ese changes redefi ne the ways that media can operate sustainably while staying true to values of pluralism and diversity, transparency and accountability, editorial independence, freedom of expression and information, public service, and high professional standards. Th e project, which examines the changes in-depth, builds bridges between researchers and policymakers, activists, academics and standard-setters. It also builds policy capacity in countries where this is less developed, encouraging stakeholders to participate in and infl uence change. At the same time, this research creates a knowledge base, laying foundations for advocacy work, building capacity and enhancing debate. Covering 56 countries, the project examines how these changes aff ect the core democratic service that any media system should provide—news about political, economic and social aff airs. Th e MDM Country Reports are produced by local researchers and partner organizations in each country. Cumulatively, these reports provide a unique resource on the democratic role of digital media. In addition to the country reports, research papers on a range of topics related to digital media have been published as the MDM Reference Series. Th ese publications are all available at http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/projects/mapping-digital-media.
