MUSIC REVIEW: RIHANNA

Trolls are typical Norwe-

gian. Trolls lives in for-

ests and hides at day. If

they get sunshine on

them they become

stones and die. No one

living now has really

seen a troll, but there

are lots of myths about

them so many believe

t h e y e x i s t .

Often trolls are big and

stupid, but they can also

be very small. Trolls can

be very very old; some of

them are more than 500

years old. The first trolls

occurred in the early

Stone Age and there they

created a lot of trouble.

They destroyed many

farms where they hunted

for food, they often take

pigs and eaten them

alive.

He settled down in New York City and next to Tahoe City to write. He died on December the 20th in New York City.

What is interesting in of mice and men? This book is a tragic novel, it was published in 1937.It takes place in t h e

1930’s, when it was the Great De-pression, a severe worldwide econo-mic crisis. The book is interesting because the friendship between the protagonists is very strange, they haven’t got the same character. « Of mice and men » is like a drama. John Stein-beck adapted his book for the stage. It was also adapted as a film.

Summary George and Lennie are two hoboes who travel together, and who want to find a job in ranches.

the entire tower. More

than 200,000,000 people

have visited the tower

since its construction in

1889; it’s the most visited

monument in the world.

This project was an ex-

Natalie would like to be a famous gui-tarist. She’ll live London and have a band. But these are only dreams. Maybe she’ll be famous. But I think she won’t be. Show business is danger-ous. Everyone would like to be famous. I’d like to be a famous reporter. Of course, I’ll strive for my dreams. And I wish her and you to see your dreams coming true. I hope you’ll be famous and you’ll fulfill your dreams.

Human Rights Watch was established in 1978, as a private American interna-tional non-governmental organization with the name Helsinki Watch. Their main task was to fo-cus on states that commit human rights violations. During the 80’s it were formed several organiza-tions which eventually formed an organization called Human Right Watch. We have interviewed Ole

Solvang which comes from

our hometown, Alvdal. He

works in Human Rights

Watch.

What were your ambitions in your childhood? I had no particular ambi-tions. Early in my childhood I wanted to work with something international. I think I wanted to work with it because my parents took me on some trips. My mother went to work abroad when I was in lower s e c o n d a r y s c h o o l . Do other Norwegians work in the organization? There are two other Nor-wegians, who work for Hu-

man Rights Watch. One of them is Jan Egeland. He is a man with extensive ex-perience and has worked both of the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, The Nor-wegian Red Cross and the United Nations before he started working with us. The other person is Caro-line Eriksen. She is Eng-land’s assistant. There is always room for more Norwegians.

Where do you sleep when you are on a mis-sion? It varies. On some mis-sions we sleep at a hotel. We obviously choose not the most expensive ho-tels, but they are usually completely unravel. Many times we have to adapt ourselves to the condi-tions. In Syria, some houses have been very nice but I have also slept on the floor without any mattress. In the last three nights in Syria, we spent the nights outside under the open sky in the coun-tryside because we were worried about air raids in the village where we were

based. It turned out to be wise. The last day, a bomb from an airplane hit a house that was 50 meters away from the house we usually stayed. http://www.youtube.com/w a t c h ?v=YMfE9_q6kvw&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/

What impressions do the job

to you?

The job provides many differ-

ent impressions. Sometimes

it's hard to see that ordinary

people are subjected to gross

human rights abuses. Some

of the things that make the

biggest impressions are when

children are killed, injured or

arrested and tortured. It has

been particularly difficult to

work with it in Syria where

children are exposed to many

different attacks very often.

But the job gives also very

positive impressions. As war

usually brings out the worst

in people it also brings some-

thing good out of people. It is

always very inspiring when

we see people helping each

other, although they often

expose themselves to danger

itself. It is also impressive to

see how strong some people,

even if they or their families

have been subjected to terri-

ble things.

read about what goes on in the outside world, and to travel to see with your own eyes how different the world is. Then you can decide af-terwards that Alvdal is still the place to stay (sometimes I think it myself), but then you have at least tried some-thing else and made a con-scious choice. I think you're going to set more apprecia-tive of the positive aspects of Alvdal. What is the worst thing you've experienced in the workplace? I usually remember the first and last impressions best. When I worked in Uzbekistan in 2002, I followed a trial to document human rights abuses. Both of the accused, witnesses and the defen-dant's family members had been grossly tortured. Even so, the culprits were sen-tenced to death. At that time, as did the very idea that the world could be so unfair and that there was nothing I could do about it. At least so it felt like then. But I also remember some of the last impressions of Syria last week. On Friday it was the artillery attack on a building 200 meters from the hospital where we were. A few minutes later, they brought in a 10 years old boy. He had been hit, so much of his head was gone, and he was obviously dead when they brought him. It made quite an impression. Is there a gender dominated profession?

There are very many women who work in Human Rights. I think there are a lot of more women than men who work for Human Rights Watch. But unfortunately, most of the bosses are men, as in many other organizations. So we need more men in the or-ganization in general, but more female managers. How was it to learn Russian,

and how is it to be fluent

Russian in everyday life?

Russian was very hard to

learn! I've never studied so

much and worked so hard. I

got up at 5 AM every morn-

ing and studied all day until I

went to bed around 10

o'clock At the most, we had

to learn about 150 new Rus-

sian words every day. But it

was worth it. To know a lan-

guage that not everyone

else, did that I got very good

job offers and that was how I

managed to get my first job

at Human Rights Watch. You

also get much better contact

with people when you can

speak their language. I'm not

so much with the Russian

daily anymore. But my wife

is Russian and she has a 12-

year-old son. We try to

speak Russian sometimes

(mostly so I do not forget

everything), but I must admit

that it is mostly in English.

But Russian is obviously very

handy when in-laws come to

visit.

What do you do to process all the impressions? I'm lucky to have a wife who works with exactly the same. We talk a lot about what we see and experience. I think this is very important. You have to share impressions. I think it would be very diffi-cult to deal with it all alone. In addition, it is important to maintain a gentle optimism. I try to focus on the positive when I can, that we some-times are able to help peo-ple, and sometimes we even save lives. It is important not to focus on how difficult eve-rything is. Then it is easy to despair. Solan’s (Alvdal’s mascot) motto is good: For he is a trifle difficult, the im-possible is a challenge Are there any advantages or disadvantages to come from a little village as Alvdal? The main advantage of growing up in a small village as Alvdal is that you have a very safe and good upbring-ing. There are not too many dangers here and you de-velop friendships that last a lifetime. It provides a good foundation to move out into the world later. Alvdal will always be "home." The downside of growing up in Alvdal is that we have it too good. I think it's almost hard for us to understand what goes on outside the in the world. It can also be a bit difficult to "get out" of Alvdal the first few times. Therefore I think it is very important to be involved, watch the evening news,

Many European teams often buy out players in the Bulgarian national championship; this is probably the only way for Bulgarian players to succeed in sports. Some of the most successful soccer players from Bul-garia are Dimitar Berbatov, Hristo Soichkov and Martin Petrov. Dimitar Berbatov and Martin Petrov are now playing in the English premiership and Hristo Stoichkov has played in the Spanish Grand Barcelona. Like all of the sports in Bulgaria, players that stay in Bulgaria often get the mini-mum wage for that country. One of the best gym athletes of Bul-garia is Jordan Iovchev. He is proba-bly one of the most successful gym athletes in the history of the sports in Bulgaria. Jordan Iovchev usually wins the gold medal at the Olympics.

The most popular sports in Bulgaria are football, basketball, volleyball, tennis and gymnastics. Due to the poor finance sports in Bulgaria are not on such advanced level as the sports for example in England, but despite that young people still get involved in them.

Probably one of the most popular sports in Bulgaria is football. Bulgar-ian players are known all over the world for their skills.

Bulgaria fields one of the leading vol-leyball teams in Europe and the world. As of January 2009 the team held 4th place in the world according to FIVB rankings. Bulgaria has regu-larly featured in the Top 10.
