Music Info.:
The Seikilos Epitaph (written in memory of his wife) is the oldest surviving example of a complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world. The song, the melody of which is recorded, alongside its lyrics, in the ancient Greek musical notation, was found engraved on a tombstone in the ancient Greek city Tralles, near Ephesos.
Preceding text of the epitaph:
ΕΙΚΩΝ Ή ΛΙΘΟΣ ΕΙΜΙ
ΤΙΘΗΣΙ ΜΕ ΣΕΙΚΙΛΟΣ
ΕΝΘΑ ΜΝΗΜΗΣ ΑΘΑΝΑΤΟΥ
ΣΗΜΑ ΠΟΛΥΧΡΟΝΙΟΝ
I am an image in stone.
Seikilos put me here,
where I am forever,
the symbol of eternal remembrance.
Lyrics:
"ΟΣΟΝ ΖΗΣ ΦΑΙΝΟΥ
ΜΗΔΕΝ ΟΛΩΣ ΣΥ ΛΥΠΟΥ
ΠΡΟΣ ΟΛΙΓΟΝ ΕΣΤΙ ΤΟ ΖΗΝ
ΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ Ο ΧΡΟΝΟΣ ΑΠΑΙΤΕΙ"
"As long as you live, shine,
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure.
For your life is short,
and time will claim its toll."
The stele was found in 1883 and lost during the Asia Minor Holocaust (1922). Today it can be seen in the National Museum of Denmark. |

Fame (ang. "sława") to piosenka Davida Bowiego napisana wspólnie z Johnem Lennonem i gitarzystą Carlosem Alomarem, pochodząca z płyty Bowiego Young Americans.
Był to pierwszy singel Bowiego który dotarł na pierwsze miejsce listy przebojów magazynu Billboard (drugim i jak do tej poryostatnim utworem Bowiego który wszedł na sam szczyt Billboardu był utwór "Let's Dance" z płyty o tym samym tytule).
Utwór zaliczany jest do stylu "blue-eyed soul".
Głównym autorem muzyki jest długoletni gitarzysta Bowiego Carlom Alomar który oparł główny riff gitarowy na motywie zapożyczonym z piosenki "Foot Stompin'" zespołu The Flores.
Bowie który był wielkim fanem Lennona miał okazję spotkać się z nim w czasie tournee po Ameryce i piosenka "Fame" powstała w czasie ich wspólnego jam session.
Jak wiele piosenek Bowiego utwór ten zawiera elementy autoironiczne, cały utwór może być odbierany jako nieco złośliwy opis kariery Bowiego -- śpiewa on o tym jak pusta jest sława, jak potrafi zmienić człowieka.
Dodaje przy tym "wszystko czego potrzebowałeś pożyczyłeś od innych" co jest wyraźnym nawiązaniem do jego własnej kariery - Bowie uchodzi za "kameleona" rocka potrafiącego świetnie przystosowywać się do panujących mów i zręcznie zapożyczającym potrzebne mu pomysły i elementy stylu czy muzyki od innych wykonawców.
Utwór ten został uznany przez Rock and Roll Hall of Fame jako jedna z piosenek które ukształtowały rock.

Preliminary statement:
The evolution of the European Union (EU) from a regional economic agreement among six neighboring states in 1951 to today's supranational organization of 27 countries across the European continent stands as an unprecedented phenomenon in the annals of history. Dynastic unions for territorial consolidation were long the norm in Europe. On a few occasions even country-level unions were arranged - the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were examples - but for such a large number of nation-states to cede some of their sovereignty to an overarching entity is truly unique. Although the EU is not a federation in the strict sense, it is far more than a free-trade association such as ASEAN, NAFTA, or Mercosur, and it has many of the attributes associated with independent nations: its own flag, anthem, founding date, and currency, as well as an incipient common foreign and security policy in its dealings with other nations. In the future, many of these nation-like characteristics are likely to be expanded. Thus, inclusion of basic intelligence on the EU has been deemed appropriate as a new, separate entity in The World Factbook. However, because of the EU's special status, this description is placed after the regular country entries.
Background:
Following the two devastating World Wars of the first half of the 20th century, a number of European leaders in the late 1940s became convinced that the only way to establish a lasting peace was to unite the two chief belligerent nations - France and Germany - both economically and politically. In 1950, the French Foreign Minister Robert SCHUMAN proposed an eventual union of all Europe, the first step of which would be the integration of the coal and steel industries of Western Europe. The following year the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was set up when six members, Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, signed the Treaty of Paris. The ECSC was so successful that within a few years the decision was made to integrate other parts of the countries' economies. In 1957, the Treaties of Rome created the European Economic Community (EEC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), and the six member states undertook to eliminate trade barriers among themselves by forming a common market. In 1967, the institutions of all three communities were formally merged into the European Community (EC), creating a single Commission, a single Council of Ministers, and the European Parliament. Members of the European Parliament were initially selected by national parliaments, but in 1979 the first direct elections were undertaken and they have been held every five years since. In 1973, the first enlargement of the EC took place with the addition of Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The 1980s saw further membership expansion with Greece joining in 1981 and Spain and Portugal in 1986. The 1992 Treaty of Maastricht laid the basis for further forms of cooperation in foreign and defense policy, in judicial and internal affairs, and in the creation of an economic and monetary union - including a common currency. This further integration created the European Union (EU). In 1995, Austria, Finland, and Sweden joined the EU, raising the membership total to 15. A new currency, the euro, was launched in world money markets on 1 January 1999; it became the unit of exchange for all of the EU states except the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Denmark. In 2002, citizens of the 12 euro-area countries began using the euro banknotes and coins. Ten new countries joined the EU in 2004 - Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia - and in 2007 Bulgaria and Romania joined, bringing the current membership to 27. In order to ensure that the EU can continue to function efficiently with an expanded membership, the Treaty of Nice (in force as of 1 February 2003) set forth rules streamlining the size and procedures of EU institutions. An effort to establish an EU constitution, begun in October 2004, failed to attain unanimous ratification. A new effort, undertaken in June 2007, calls for the creation of an Intergovernmental Conference to form a political agreement, known as the Reform Treaty, which is to serve as a constitution. Unlike the constitution, however, the Reform Treaty would amend existing treaties rather than replace them.

My footage of the oldest church in Bergen,Mariakirken.
The Church of Norway traces its origins to the introduction of Christianity to Norway in the 800s. Norway was christianized partly as a result of individual conversions, partly by force. Still, it took several hundred years to convert Norway to Christianity, culminating in 1030 with the Battle of Stiklestad. The Nordic churches were initially subordinate to the archbishop of Bremen, until a Nordic archdiocese of Lund was established in 1103. The separate Norwegian archdiocese of Nidaros (in today's Trondheim) was created in 1152, and by the end of the 1100s covered all of Norway, parts of present Sweden, Iceland, Greenland, the Isle of Man, the Orkney Islands, the Shetland Islands, the Faroe Islands, and the Hebrides.
The Reformation in Norway was accomplished in 1537 when Christian III of Denmark and Norway decreed Lutheranism as the official religion of Norway and Denmark. Monastic orders were suppressed, and the crown took over church property, while some redundant churches were destroyed or abandoned. The archdiocese was abolished, and bishops (initially called superintendents) were appointed by the king. This created the integration between church and state that today's arrangement reflects. After the introduction of absolute monarchy in 1660 all clerics were civil servants appointed by the king, but theological issues were left to the hierarchy of bishops and other clergy.
When Norway regained national independence in 1814, the Norwegian Constitution recognized the Lutheran church as the State Church.
The pietistic movement in Norway (embodied to a great extent by Hans Nielsen Hauge) served to reduce the distance between lay and clergy in Norway, which persists to this day. In 1873 lay congregational meetings were accepted in church life, though initially with limited influence. Unofficial plenary sessions took place every other year, and after 1982 these became official parts of church life.
After Vidkun Quisling was made head of state by the Nazi occupiers during World War II, the vast majority of Norwegian clergy and all Norwegian bishops disassociated themselves from the government, stating that they would only function as pastors for their congregations. The bishops were interned for the duration of the war, but congregational life continued more or less as usual.
Since World War II, a number of structural changes have taken place within the Church of Norway, mostly to institutionalize lay participation in the life of the church.
Current issues
There is continuous discussion about separating church and state in Norway, and currently it appears there is a majority both within Stortinget and the public to separate it. Currently, the possibility of holding a referendum about the separation is being debated. While most Norwegians use the church only for lifecycle events, a great many appreciate the tradition and institutions of the church. Although 83% of the Norwegian population belongs to the state church, only about 3% attend church services or other religious meetings more than once a month. Baptism of newborns fell from 96.8% in 1960 to 75.9% in 2005. The proportion of young people to enter into confirmation fell from 93% in 1960 to 66.2% in 2005. The proportion of all weddings to be conducted through the Church of Norway fell from 85,2% in 1960 to 45.5% in 2005. Only the proportion of funerals has remained on a high level, in 2005 93.4% of all funerals took place in the Church of Norway.
It has recently been revealed that due to a poor quality of the membership register, around 75,000 Norwegians who are members of other religious or humanist organisations have wrongfully been registered as members of the church. An equally large number of persons who are not members of any faith-based organisation might also be registered as members of the church without their knowledge, as a result the official membership numbers are slightly inflated compared to the real figures. Although there is no indication that this has been a conscious policy of the church, the inaccurate membership register has led to the church possibly receiving unlawfully hundreds of millions of Norwegian Crowns (NOK) over the last decade, as the Norwegian state contributes between 500 and 600 NOK to religious and humanist organisations for each registered member. Naturally, this has led to stark criticism from organisations that might have lost income due to the inaccuracy of the membership register of the Norwegian church. |
