  • GEORGE RAPFS HARMONISTS and the BEGINNINGS of NORWEGIAN MIGRATION to AMERICA Karl J
    GEORGE RAPFS HARMONISTS AND THE BEGINNINGS OF NORWEGIAN MIGRATION TO AMERICA Karl J. R. Arndt before George Rapp's Harmonists moved from Harmony in EvenButler County, Pennsylvania, through the great Pittsburgh gateway to establish their second settlement, New Harmony, on the Wabash, they had become internationally famous as highly successful American pioneer builders in the wilderness, but their well-arranged move down the Ohio to the Wabash increased their prestige as models of group migration. With a justified pride in their brilliant transpor- tation of an entire community of 800 people withcattle, sheep, horses, feathered flocks, swine, flora and fauna, building supplies, machinery of various kinds including a steam engine, seeds for future harvests, beer, wine, food supplies, tools, raiment, and medicines over such a distance, Frederick Rapp on March 28, 1816, wrote his Pittsburgh agent George Sutton: "Ican inform you with much pleasure, that we all arrived here in good State of health, and landed our property Safe, which we brought with us from there, so that nothing has happened to none of our Boats of which there was above thirty." Thousands of individuals had passed through Pittsburgh on their way west, but the Harmonist migration was the greatest group achievement of that time and has never been properly recognized in the history of Western Pennsylvania. The Harmonist move was the transportation of an entire civilization from the east to the primeval forests of the west, and for that reason in the west and in Europe the new settlement soon became known as "Harmonie, that Wonder of the West." Frederick Rapp and all the Harmonists were fully aware of what they were accomplishing and therefore took great pride in their unique community, so much so that they wrote enthusiastic letters to friends and relatives in old Wurttemberg inviting them to come and join them in the wide open spaces of the glorious west.

  • The Influence of Old Norse on the English Language
    Antonius Gerardus Maria Poppelaars HUSBANDS, OUTLAWS AND KIDS: THE INFLUENCE OF OLD NORSE ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE HUSBANDS, OUTLAWS E KIDS: A INFLUÊNCIA DO NÓRDICO ANTIGO NA LÍNGUA INGLESA Antonius Gerardus Maria Poppelaars1 Abstract: What have common English words such as husbands, outlaws and kids and the sentence they are weak to do with Old Norse? Yet, all these examples are from Old Norse, the Norsemen’s language. However, the Norse influence on English is underestimated as the Norsemen are viewed as barbaric, violent pirates. Also, the Norman occupation of England and the Great Vowel Shift have obscured the Old Norse influence. These topics, plus the Viking Age, the Scandinavian presence in England, as well as the Old Norse linguistic influence on English and the supposed French influence of the Norman invasion will be described. The research for this etymological article was executed through a descriptive- qualitative approach. Concluded is that the Norsemen have intensively influenced English due to their military supremacy and their abilities to adaptation. Even the French-Norman French language has left marks on English. Nowadays, English is a lingua franca, leading to borrowings from English to many languages, which is often considered as invasive. But, English itself has borrowed from other languages, maintaining its proper character. Hence, it is hoped that this article may contribute to a greater acknowledgement of the Norse influence on English and undermine the scepticism towards the English language as every language has its importance. Keywords: Old Norse Loanwords, English Language, Viking Age, Etymology. Resumo: O que têm palavras inglesas comuns como husbands, outlaws e kids e a frase they are weak a ver com os Nórdicos? Todos esses exemplos são do nórdico antigo, a língua dos escandinavos.

I conducted interviews with leaders in eight of the largest mosques in Norway, and asked them about their religious and political world views. Specifically I tried to explore the relationship between what they regard as the ideal Islamic system, and the political changes they want to see in Norway and their Muslim countries of origin. My main finding is that all the informants regard the Norwegian political system as a good system, and view the current situation in most of the Muslim world as bad. On an ideological level, however, they relate to the Norwegian political system in different ways. I construct a four-fold typology in which all the informants fit: The secularists want a secular democratic state in both Norway and their Muslim home country. The Muslim democrats want liberal democracy in both Norway and their country of origin.

  • Columbus Day, 2011
    Proclamations Proc. 8735 To honor Leif Erikson and celebrate our Nordic-American heritage, the Congress, by joint resolution (Public Law 88–566) approved on September 2, 1964, has authorized the President to proclaim October 9 of each year as ‘‘Leif Erikson Day.’’ NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 9, 2011, as Leif Erikson Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies, ac- tivities, and programs to honor our rich Nordic-American heritage. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth. BARACK OBAMA Proclamation 8735 of October 7, 2011 Columbus Day, 2011 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus and his crewmembers sighted land after an ambitious voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The ideals that guided them to this land—courage, determination, and a thirst for dis- covery—have inspired countless Americans and led to some of our Nation’s proudest accomplishments. Today, we renew our commitment to fostering the same spirit of innovation and exploration that will help future genera- tions reach new horizons. Ten weeks before his arrival in the Americas, Columbus and his crew- members set sail from Spain in search of a westward route to Asia. Though their journey was daring, it did not yield the trade route they sought.

  • 322 School Ceremonies and Observances
    322 SCHOOL CEREMONIES AND OBSERVANCES The United States Constitution and the constitutions of the states, as well as federal and state laws and related court rulings, clearly establish the concept of “church and state separation” and the “preclusion of sectarian instruction in public schools.” In order to help staff members abide by the spirit and letter of the law and to avoid compromising any student’s religious or conscientious beliefs or freedoms, the following guidelines have been established: 1. The Williams Bay School shall offer the Pledge of Allegiance or National Anthem at the beginning of the school day each day. No student shall be compelled, against his or her objections or those of his or her parents or guardians, to recite the Pledge or sing the National Anthem. 2. The observance of religious holidays is not the responsibility of the public schools. 3. Since a public school is not a place of worship, the instructional materials, activities, decorations or assembly programs that are introduced into the schools should not promote any religion. 4. While it is recognized that many activities are initiated with the approach to major holidays to capitalized on the readiness and interest that is generated at these times, it should be understood that such occasions frequently have religious underpinnings. Care should be taken to relate only to the secular aspects of these holidays. a. Music programs given at times close to religious holidays should not use the religious aspect of these holidays as the underlying motive or theme. Although religious music is appropriate in the schools to the extent that it is sung or presented for musical rather than religious content, its use should not violate the secular nature of the school.

  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Proclamation 10097—Leif
    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Proclamation 10097—Leif Erikson Day, 2020 October 8, 2020 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation More than 1,000 years ago, the Norse explorer and Viking Leif Erikson made landfall in modern-day Newfoundland, likely becoming the first European to discover the New World. Today, Leif Erikson represents over a millennium of shared history between the Nordic countries and the Americas and symbolizes the many contributions of Nordic Americans to our great Nation. Accomplished in the face of daunting danger and carried out in service of Judeo-Christian values, Leif Erikson's story reflects the fundamental truths about the American character. On a mission to evangelize Greenland, Leif Erikson and his crew were blown off course. They had to brave the cold waters of the northern Atlantic to find safe harbor on the North American coastline. In surviving this ordeal, these hardened Vikings tested the limits of human exploration in a way that continues to inspire us today. In 1825, six Norwegian families repeated this voyage, landing their sloop in New York Harbor in the first organized migration to the United States from Scandinavia. Like the Puritans and pilgrims before them, these people came to our Nation seeking religious freedom and safety from persecution. Now, more than 11 million Americans can trace their roots to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, and among them stand Nobel Laureates, Academy Award winners, and Legion of Merit recipients. Across our Nation, from the Danish villages of western Iowa to the Norwegian Ridge in Minnesota and the Finns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Nordic Americans have left their mark on our culture, economy, and society.

  • Gjerdalen and Norgren Win Kaiser Maximilian Lauf
    A newsletter from Visma Ski Classics, the long distance ski championship. Press Photos by Magnus Östh Gjerdalen and Norgren win Kaiser Maximilian Lauf A cat and mouse game in the women’s race between Britta Johansson Norgren, Lager 157 Ski Team, and Masako Ishida, Team Koteng, and a surprise breakaway in the men’s race defined the day . The third Visma Ski Classics race, and the first one in Visma Alp Trophy, took place in Seefeld, Austria, as Kaiser Maximilian Lauf, 60 km, welcomed pro skiers after the long holiday break. The conditions were perfect for racing, and the athletes were able to bask in the sunshine as they negotiated their way through a challenging course. In the women’s race, Johansson Norgren and Ishida broke away right after the bang and continued their play of back and forth almost to the end. Norgren got a gap in the Leutasch valley, and Ishida got caught up by the chasing group of three; Sara Lindborg, Team Serneke, Karin Vikhagen Gjeitnes, Team Santander, and Lina Korsgren, Åre Ski Team. After leaving the valley, Ishida managed to catch Johansson Norgren again in the long climbs due to her diagonal striding. The last downhill section proved to be crucial to Lindborg as she was able to pass Ishida in the final kilometers. “It was my plan to go full speed from the beginning,” the happy winner Johansson Norgren admitted. “I knew Ishida will go fast in the climbs, but I felt strong from the beginning. It was really hard skiing alone in the valley, and when Ishida caught me up, I wasn’t sure if I could win the race.

I flere år bygget aktivister nettverk, løftet hverandre frem og delte erfaringer. Ut av dette samspillet har det oppstått flere organisasjoner. Og også enkeltpersoner tilsluttet aktivistmiljøet har oppnådd status som respekterte samfunnsdebattanter, og fått verv og roller som et resultat av innsatsen. Likestilling Integrering Mangfold (LIM) og Senter for Sekulær Integrering er relevante aktører å trekke frem i denne sammenheng.

Bronze sculpture on Fisketorget in Bergen, installed by the Church City Mission foundation, inscribed: Ingen er bare det du ser (‘Nobody is only what they seem’). Preface Drug-induced deaths, or overdose fatalities, are a serious health concern in Norway. In 2013, the Norwegian Parliament adopted a proposal mandating the Norwegian Directorate of Health to implement a five-year national overdose strategy. The Norwegian Directorate of Health regards the need for measures in this area as imperative. The aim is to gradually reduce the number of deaths. The Norwegian Parliament also decided to step up efforts to prevent overdose altogether by establishing a Vision Zero. Since the parliamentary resolution, the Directorate has implemented measures in association with a widely representative working party. The Directorate will be strengthening the overdose prevention focus in existing measures. In addition, it will be implementing new measures. The Directorate intends for the strategy to result in permanent changes to Norwegian public services.
