Here in freedom’s land, here I am blessed, here I too am ‘we.’ NANCY KLIMP » Daughters of Norway Sigrid Undset Lodge It was 1886 when Aasta Hansteen wrote those words. The quote refers to a significant time in her life, her nine years in America, where she had found a sisterhood. It is part of a small collection of poems that was unpub­ lished, called Arbeidsglæde (Joy of Work). As a feminist in Norway, Hansteen had felt isolated, unappreciated, and misunder­ stood. She decided to travel to America in April of 1880, as she understood that the struggle for women’s rights here was well underway. As her ship departed the Kristi­ ania (Oslo) harbor, she wrote, “My misery is over,” as feelings of liberation emerged. She eagerly anticipated observing the inspiring suffrage leaders about whom she had read, and she would spend her American years near them in Boston (six and a half years) and Chicago (two and a half years).

  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

    PRE-COMPETITION FACTS RUKA TRIPLE, FIN Stage 1: Ladies‘ / Men‘s Sprint Classic COMPETITION COURSE Ladies: 1,4 km Men: 1,4 km Bonus seconds: WEATHER FORECAST LADIES For the 10th season in a row, Ruka will host the first sprint event of the World Cup calendar (2008-2017). Marit Bjørgen (NOR) has won four of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style), most of all athletes and one more than Petra Majdic (SLO). Bjørgen's four sprint World Cup wins in Ruka, are joint-most for her at a single venue along with Lahti and Düsseldorf. Bjørgen is on five podium finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka, joint- most along with Majdic. Bjørgen has only recorded more sprint World Cup podium finishes in Davos (6) than in Ruka (5). Stina Nilsson (SWE) has won the last three sprint World Cup events (free and classic) and could become the first non-Norwegian to claim four victories in a row since Majdic in 2009. Nilsson has won each of the last five sprint World Cup events she participated in. The last time she failed to claim victory was in the sprint free in Davos on 11 December 2016 (31st). On 26 November 2016, Nilsson won the sprint classic in Ruka, her first ever World Cup victory in classic style. Only Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR, 10) has claimed more sprint World Cup wins since the start of 2014/15 than Nilsson (9). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Falla has reached the podium in 14 of her last 15 sprint World Cup appearances with a 31st-place finish in Drammen (classic style) on 8 March as the only exception.

The original iconographies of the Vigelandsanlegget in Oslo, Hoetger’s Platanenhein in Darmstadt, as well as Jónsson’s oeuvres collected in Reykjavik, will be interpreted in relation to wider discourses—i.e. Nietzschean influence, a particular taste for the esoteric (theosophy) and, last but not least, a noticeable aversion to classical form.

MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Edvard Munch the modern life of the soul The Museum of Modern Art February 19-May 8, 2006 EDVARD MUNCH, the internationally renowned Norwegian painter, printmaker, and draftsman, sought to translate personal trauma into universal terms and, in the process, to comprehend the fundamental components of human existence: birth, love, and death. Munch's pri mary source of inspiration was his own life history, which was marked by romantic suffering, illness, and the death of some of his closest family members. But Munch was also a product of his time, inspired first by the bohemian community of his native Kristiania (now Oslo) and later by his association with the Parisian and Berlin avant-gardes. In the end, painting became a kind of religious endeavor for Munch, a means through which he hoped to "understand the meaning of life [and] help others gain an understanding of their lives." Munch was born in 1863, on a farm outside of Kristiania. His early work, consisting primarily of family portraits, was inspired by the art of the Norwegian naturalist painters, among them his mentor Christian Krohg.

Tunisia is the only country in the region to painstakingly build a democracy, involving a range of political and social forces in dialogue to create a constitution, legislature and democratic institutions.
