Bergen - Norway
Bergen is the second largest city in Norway with a population of 259,700 as of November 15, 2010. Bergen is the administrative centre of Hordaland county. Greater Bergen or Bergen Metropolitan Area as defined by Statistics Norway, has a population of 383,100 as of November 15, 2010.
Bergen is located in the county of Hordaland on the south-western coast of Norway. It is an important cultural hub in its region, recognized as the unofficial capital of Western Norway and sometimes also referred to as the Atlantic coast capital of Norway. The city was one of nine European cities honoured with the title of European Capital of Culture in the Millennium.
The city of Bergen, traditionally thought to have been founded by king Olav Kyrre, son of Harald Hardråde in 1070 AD,[5] four years after the Viking Age ended. Modern research has, however, discovered that a trading settlement was established already during the 1020s or 1030s. It is considered to have replaced Trondheim as Norway's capital in 1217, and that Oslo became the de jure capital in 1299. Towards the end of the 13th century, Bergen became one of the Hanseatic League's most important bureau cities.
( source Wikipedia )
The main reason for Bergen's importance was the trade with dried cod from the northern Norwegian coast,[8] which started around 1100. By the late 14th century, Bergen had established itself as the centre of the trade in Norway.[9] The Hanseatic merchants lived in their own separate quarter of town, where Middle Saxon was used, enjoying exclusive rights to trade with the northern fishermen that each summer sailed to Bergen.[10] Today, Bergen's old quayside, Bryggen is on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Site.[11]
The city has throughout its history been plagued with numerous great city fires. In 1198, the Bagler-faction set fire on the city in connection with a battle against the Birkebeiner faction during the civil war. In 1248, Holmen and Sverresborg burned, and 11 churches were destroyed. In 1413 another fire struck the city, and 14 churches were destroyed. In 1428 the city was plundered by pirates on a mission for the Hanseatic League, the same who was responsible for burning down Munkeliv Abbey in 1455. In 1476, Bryggen burned down in a fire started by a drunk trader. In 1582, another fire hit the city centre and Strandsiden. In 1675, 105 buildings burned down in Øvregaten. In 1686 a new great fire hit Strandsiden, destroying 231 city blocks and 218 boathouses. The greatest fire to date happened in 1702 when 90 percent of the city was burned to ashes. In 1751, there was a great fire at Vågsbunnen. In 1756, a new fire at Strandsiden burned down 1,500 buildings, and further great fires hit Strandsiden in 1771 and 1901. In 1916, 300 buildings burned down in the city centre, and in 1955 parts of Bryggen burned down.

Norwegian chefs prepare nouvelle cuisine
(8 Mar 2010)
Alta (Finnmark county), 6-7 February 2010
1. Various of Alta fjord
2. Pan across Sorrisniva mountain restaurant
3. Various of people dining at restaurant
4. Various of chef preparing elk dish
5. Various of chef serving dishes at table
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jonny Trasti, chef
We have a lot of good wild food from the area we use. Local herds of reindeer, elk, for example. We have very good fish; we have a very long coast in Norway. We have very different sort of fish from very cold water to a little bit warmer water in the south. So there are very big changes in what''s in the sea. And we use local vegetables and herbs.
7. Various of people eating
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Heidi Skenkje, vox pop
I notice that the cook(ing) here is very different from Oslo. The surprise here is that he uses more different kind of tastes and it''s very good.
9. Various of downtown
10. Wide of Rica Hotel exterior
11. Various of chef preparing king crab dish
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Oyvind Hatlohol, chef
I think that it is going to be very known in Europe and the rest of the world. Because we have this king crab and another ingredients in the big competition ''Bocuse d''Or'' in Lyon. So the chefs in restaurants around Europe are getting their eyes up (eyeing up - learning about) for these good ingredients. They are taking it to their restaurants and then it''s being more and more famous among common people. But it takes time.
13. Various of chef embellishing king crab dish
14. Various of waiters serving table
15. Wide of town
16. Mid of residential house
17. Various of family preparing reindeer and vegetables for evening meal
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Monica Ratama, vox pop
Today I made a dish, a meal, with reindeer, with small pieces of reindeer cooked with salt and pepper. And then I put some cream on top which makes a sauce. And with vegetables and potatoes. That''s very nice I think.
19. Various shots of mother and son laying the table
LEADIN:
From reindeer steak to saut�ed king crab, the cuisine from the Norwegian county of Finnmark is a marriage between simplicity and the best raw ingredients from the arctic region.
STORYLINE:
The city of Alta - capital of Norway''s northernmost county - stands at the end of a fiord of the same name.
The icy cold water of the Norwegian Sea and the arctic tundra produce some of the best fish and game meat in the world.
The restaurant at the mountain resort of Sorrisniva is one of the finest in the area.
Every evening chef Jonny Trasti prepares traditional and ''nouvelle cuisine'' Norwegian dishes for those wanting to enjoy a dinner in a wooden cabin during the arctic winter.
Trasti is preparing a starter with reindeer, a popular meat in northern Scandinavia.
The fatty reindeer meet is pan fried in a brandy reduction at a high temperature, cooking the outer layers, but leaving the centre of the steak almost rare.
Saut�ed spinach from a greenhouse farm in Southern Norway helps to balance both the flavour and the colour of the dish.
The plate is first garnished with a slice of sugar coated Norwegian wild berries.
Next to it a portion of saffron risotto made of Spanish rice.
The steak is then cut at a perpendicular angle that allows the fat to give the meat a fuller flavour.
Finally the starter is ready to be served.
Chef Trasti says that the secret behind good local food lies in the outstanding quality of Norway''s raw food materials.
We have a lot of wild food from the area. We use from local herds of reindeer. We have very good fish and a very long coast in Norway. We have very different sort of fish from very cold water to warmer water in the south. So there are very different changes in the sea. And we use local vegetables and herbs.

Artifishal Full Film | The Fight to Save Wild Salmon
Artifishal is a film about people, rivers, and the fight for the future of wild fish and the environment that supports them. It explores wild salmon’s slide toward extinction, threats posed by fish hatcheries and fish farms, and our continued loss of faith in nature.
Thanks for watching our film, and for your comments -- our primary goal with the film was to shine a spotlight on these issues, to spark dialogue and encourage changes in the way we think about river and fish conservation and fishery management. The common ground we all seem to share is a love of rivers and an interest in seeing wild fish return in greater abundance. Patagonia has been working to protect wild rivers and wild fish for over 40 years. We were founded by an avid fly fisherman – and we’re proud of all our connections to the fish world, which range from our fly fishing and salmon product lines, to the over $20 million in grants we’ve given to local groups working on these issues in communities around the world.
To that end, whatever your point of view, we hope you visit Patagonia Action Works, to learn more about and support groups working to protect wild rivers and wild fish -
Further, this is the 3rd film we’ve made about these issues. First was Damnation, which highlights the destructive effect of obsolete dams on healthy river ecosystems and habitat; and then, Blue Heart of Europe, which shares the shocking story of a tsunami of dam development in the Balkans region of Eastern Europe, and calls for a stop to the construction of 3,000 new hydropower dams and diversions. We couldn’t agree more that habitat destruction, dam building, mismanaged harvest, and pollution of our waterways are also incredibly important issues – check out these films to get a sense for some of our advocacy across the issues.

The journey to the Express was not a simple one. For upper class travellers to enjoy a luxury, non-stop train ride across seven nations, it would take the dream of a lovesick Belgian engineer, with his rather interesting supporting cast: an American industrialist, the inventor of US tabloid journalism, the Prince of Wales, and one of the most prolific mass murderers of the 19th and 20th Centuries.

As Europe’s Green Capital of 2019, Oslo has innovated lots of sustainable solutions for travel, eating and cultural experiences by simply harnessing power from the waste it produces. That's why Oslo is rubbish. But in a good way!

Strong Logical Moves - Kasparov vs Giorgadze | Garry Kasparov Chess Games Series Ep 6
Title: Strong Logic Moves - Kasparov vs Giorgadze | Garry Kasparov Chess Games Series Ep 6
Opening: Philidor Defence
Hello Chess Friends and Welcome to the Channel. Today I'm going to show you episode 6 of the kasparov Series. In November 1979 when he is still 16 years old, a young Garry Kasparov plays the first round of the 47th Russian Chess Championship. The tournament is an exhausting 18 players round robin, 17 games to decide the russian champion. In round 1 Kasparov plays against Tamaz Giorgadze a strong and solid grandmaster from Georgia. Let's review the game together because this Kasparov game is like a chess lesson. One logic move follows the other until victory is the only possible result. Let's start

1. e4 e5 {in his book the test of Time Kasparov says that Giorgadze was a
Sicilian expert and e5 already came as a suprise. But even more suprising was
the continuation} 2. Nf3 d6 {the Philidor} 3. Bc4 {instead of d4} Be7 4. d3 {
out of the main line. Kasparov wants to bring Giorgadze into a slow positional
game where many manouvers are not familiar to a Sicilian player} Nf6 {we must
notice that with Kasparov's setup, white still scores very well: a bit more
than 57%} 5. c3 {prepares a future d4 and clears c2 for the bishop} O-O 6. O-O

retreats the bishop} 7. Bb3 Be6 8. Bc2 h6 9. Re1 Nbd7 10. Nbd2 Qc7 {and
finally comes} 11. d4 Rfe8 12. h3 Nf8 13. c4 {Kasparov is gaining space in the
center. This is his new plan} Ng6 14. d5 Bd7 15. Nb1 {the classic Knight
manouver thorugh f1 doesn't help the new plan of expansion in the center and
queenside, so Kasparov simply redirects the Knight. Now let's think together:
what should Black play? Can he think about a short term plan? He could and
should. If you notice, Black is ahead in development but lacks some space. He
must avoid at all costs, Kasparov's positional strangulation. He must act
quickly.} Bf8 {the beginning of passivity. Black must find counterplay as soon
as possible on the queenside} ({to achieve counterplay he must open the c-file,
giving frsh air to his pieces} 15... cxd5 16. cxd5 b5 {An important move
unleash the potential of the pieces. and watch how simple is to relocate his
pieces in active position: Rook to c8, the queen if needed to b7, the dark
square bishop not fo f8 but thorugh d8 can move to b6 or a5}) 16. Nc3 c5 {
another positional mistake} 17. Ba4 {in this position Black player's good
bishop is not the dark square one but the light squares'} a6 18. Bxd7 Nxd7 19.

on the Kingside, he's ready to concentrate his efforts on the queenside} 22. a4

kingside, Black tries to hold the position, confident that his pawn structure
is still solid enough} 25. Bd2 Rec8 26. Nf1 Ng4 27. Na4 Bd8 28. Rec1 Rab8 {
everything is in the right place and it's time for the pawn break} 29. b4 cxb4

Qxe7 Rxe7 41. Rc7 {in this position Black lose on time. The computer
evaluation is clear: it's plus 5 for white. Black's position is going to
collapse. Let's make some other moves. The Knight on d7 is under attack and
protected by the rook. If white threatens the rook the Knight will fall and we
clearly see that the bishop can do the job} f5 {gives some freedom to the rook}

} Nxb8 {with the Knight move}) 49... Ngf6 {and now} 50. b8=Q Rxb8 51. Rxb8 {
wins the game} Nxb8 52. Rxf7 1-0
Another beautiful Kasparov's game. We can learn so much from Kasparov and I will keep reviewing his career. I hope that you enjoyed the game as I did, our analysis is over but don't forget to subscribe to the channel because many great games are coming. For now thanks for watching and goodbye.

Well, the stuff you've heard about them may not be true. The Vikings weren't just pagan raiders striking terror into the hearts of defenseless European Christendom. They were some of the greatest travelers of their time, and they weren't always traveling to steal. In a lot of cases, they were traveling to trade. John will teach you about Viking trade goods, Norse Mythology, and yes, there will be blood, guts, and dragons. OK?

Andalusia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Andalusia in Spain.
Andalusia, in southern Spain is a fantasy land situated between Europe and Africa.In Algarrobo, a white village close to the coast, time seems to have stood still and is a place of both inspiration and contemplation. Since Phoenician times, the earlier ‘Malaca’ was a busy trading port that was defended by the Gibralforo Castle. The Cathedral, also known as ‘La Manquita’, symbolizes a catholic victory on the former site of a mosque. On the edge of the city centre is the Moorish fortress of Alcazaba, that was once a fortified residence on the hills of Castillo. The second largest city in Andalusia also became known as the birthplace of its famous son, world famous artist Pablo Ruiz Picasso. Since the 1950s, the modern coastal resort of Torremolinos has attracted mass tourism with a numerous variety of huge hotel skyscrapers, bars and restaurants. In the hilly inland area of the Costa del Sol is the pretty white mountain village of Mijas. A small hilltop bullfight arena shines bright white along with the houses of the surrounding area. Marbella, the prima donna of the Costa del Sol, serves as a rendezvous for the stars of stage and screen and a leisure resort for the international jet set. Another short excursion into the mountains near the coast leads to Casares, a sleepy mountain village crowned by the ruins of a Moorish Castle. During the Roman Carthaginian Wars, Cadiz played an important role as a trading centre. After the Moors came the Normans and in 1262, the city fell into the hands of the Christian king, Alfonso. Dreamy harbor towns, cultural metropolises with a Moorish past, Christian buildings and white villages... Beauty in the Garden of Eden – that’s Andalusia!

I think the local community has reacted very positively to that matter. Because almost over night we got about 200 new 'inhabitants' on a short (term) basis and people stood up for them and wanted to help. So I think it was a good experience for the community, and also for the people who came here.

If we can in the future deal with the number of people we have today I think that will not create fear in people. But of course, if we will be challenged to take a lot more people, then there will be some challenges I think.

Hessle Road - Dave Williams
A local song for local people!!
Once the epicentre of Hulls' fishing industry, Hessle Road is where I started out as a singer with a band over thirty years ago, working at many of the areas' numerous pubs and clubs. I wish I had a pound for everytime we'd performed this in Rayners pub, where we had a lengthy residency.
The song was written, and originally recorded by Pete Smith, and takes an affectionate look back at one of Hulls' most well known districts.
The music in this version was created by me using my Yamaha PSR e413 keyboard.
Lyrics:
CHORUS:
Hessle Road, Hessle Road, I am proud of Hessle Road.
When folks ask where I come from, my head it is not bowed.
I say I come from good old Hessle Road.
I miss the bonfires in the street. I even miss the bullies,
Sat'day trips round Boyess and the prams outside of Woolie's.
I miss those bobbers' clogs at two, that very fishy smell,
Langham and Eureka, and Picky Park as well.
I miss those little gardens with sooty coloured roses,
Little kids with wellies on, with yellow snotty noses.
I miss those shotgun weddings, those little corner shops,
Playing football in the street and getting chased by cops.
I miss those brave young fisher kids, coming home to shore,
Spending all their money, then going back for more.
I even miss Criterion—a very quiet pub—
And a little lass from Subway Street our kid put in the club.
I miss Sat'days at the Boulevard. we always used to win,
With the Drake twins, Tommy Harris, Mick Scott and Tommy Finn,
Loose forward Johnny Whiteley—the finest in the land—
And the best-behaved supporters, we were there on Three-penny Stand.
There was Havelock and Gillett Street, West Dock and Boulevard.
They're pulling them all down now. It's hitting people hard.
They've left it all behind them, and on to Bransholme strode,
But I bet they don't forget the laughs, the tears on Hessle Road.
I remember what me dad said, when I was leaving home
To fend for meself and start a family of my own.
He said, I brought you up, son, but nowt to me is owed.
Just remember where you come from. You're a kid from Hessle Road.
