Frelsi til ađ drekka
31.1.2014 | 07:36
BBC greinir frá:
In 1985, the then Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev drastically cut vodka production and did not allow it to be sold before lunch-time.
Researchers say alcohol consumption fell by around a quarter when the restrictions came in. Then, when communism collapsed, people started drinking more again and the overall death rates also rose.
. . . "When President Yeltsin took over from President Gorbachev, the overall death rates in young men more than doubled. This was as society collapsed and vodka became much more freely available.
Frelsiđ er vandmeđfariđ og stundum er ţađ leiđin til ánauđar.
Yeltsin gat skvett í sig, eins og menn muna. Ţegar hann var kornabarn drukknađi hann nćstum ţví í skírnarfontinum ţegar fullur prestur var ađ skíra hann. Eitt sinn, eftir ađ hann var orđinn forseti, var Yeltsin ofurölvi fyrir utan Hvíta húsiđ. Hann var á nćrbuxunum og var ađ reyna ná í leigubíl. Hann var svangur og langađi í pizzu.

Rómaveldi
31.1.2014 | 05:56
Edward Gibbon skrifađi hiđ frćga sagnfrćđirit The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-89). Í ţeirri bók kemst hann oft skemmtilega ađ orđi. Hann segir međal annars:
The northern countries of Europe scarcely deserved the expense and labour of conquest. The forests and morasses of Germany were filled with a hardy race of barbarians, who despised life when it was separated from freedom: and though on the first attack they seemed to yield to the weight of Roman power, they soon, by a signal act of despair, regained their independence and reminded Augustus of the vicissitude of fortune.
Um Skotland hefur Gibbon ţetta ađ segja:
The masters of the fairest and most wealthy climes of the globe turned with contempt from gloomy hills assailed by the winter tempest, from lakes concealed in a blue mist, and from cold and lonely heaths over which the deer of the forest were chased by a troop of naked barbarians.
Gibbon var Englendingur.
Ađ lokum er hér lýsing á Róm og ţeim trúarbrögđum sem ţar tíđkuđust. Segja má ađ ţetta sé dćmi um forna fjölmenningu:
The policy of the emperors and the senate, as far as it concerned religion, was happily seconded by the reflections of the enlightened, and by the habits of the superstitious, part of their subjects. The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true, by the philosopher as equally false, and by the magistrate as equally useful. And thus toleration produced not only mutual indulgence but even religious concord.
Svo mörg voru ţau orđ.

The Cure, "The Same Deep Water as You"
29.1.2014 | 18:10
1989 var gott ár fyrir The Cure. Hugmyndin um ţrumur og rigningu fengin ađ láni frá "Riders on the Storm", sennilega, og ekkert ađ ţví. Ég get hlustađ á ţetta endalaust. Var á Englandi rétt eftir ađ platan kom út. "Lovesong" var singullinn og ţađ var spilađ víđa.

Stairway to Heaven
29.1.2014 | 07:14
Hér er mynd af Facebókarsíđu Kaţólsku kirkjunnar: Stairway to Heaven. En menn ţurfa ađ vanda sinn veg. Og svo fylgir hér lagiđ frćga. Enginn er alveg viss um hvađ textinn er, en Robert Plant, sem samdi textann, sagđi: I think this is a song about hope" ef ég man rétt.

Vísindi byggđ á tilraunum

Ţetta segir sig nokkurn veginn sjálft, en samt ágćtt ađ fá ţetta stađfest međ rannsókn. En auđvitađ hlustar enginn.

Um Omega
29.1.2014 | 00:01
Sem betur fer var Omega ekki lokađ. Hvar annars stađar getur mađur horft á skemmtikrafta og ofurloddara eins og Benni Hinn? Frelsi til ađ horfa! En í alvöru stundum er ţađ vođa kósí ađ hafa Omega malandi.
Ţetta er orđrétt af vef Omega:
Um Omega
Hinn 8. nóvember áriđ 1991, ţá talađi Guđ til Eiríks Sigurbjörnssonar, ađ setja upp kristilega sjónvarpsstöđ á Íslandi. Eiríkur sótti um sjónvarpsleyfi og fékk heimild til ađ sjónvarpa 24 tíma á sólarhring. Eftir 9 mánađa undirbúning, ţá hóf sjónvarpsstöđin Omega útsendingar, hinn 28. júlí 1992.
Hringdi Guđ í Eirík eđa kom hann í kaffi?

Drama
28.1.2014 | 23:18
Ţađ verđur spennandi ađ lesa ţetta. Eiríkur Bergmann hefur skrifađ greinar fyrir The Guardian. Ţann ţrettánda apríl 2010 skrifar hann međal annars:
And then came the Crash. We now know it was inevitable. The truth committee's report has turned a mirror on us. Once so proud to be the home of the oldest parliament in the world, we now have to face the embarrassing fact that we allowed a handful of businessmen and corrupt politicians to turn our established democracy into some kind of idiotcracy.
But today we begin the process of taking our country back.
Ţađ er áhugavert ađ bera ţetta saman viđ söguskýringar Hannesar Hólmsteins Gissurarsonar, sem skrifar í grein sinni Five Years On:
The 2008 collapse of the Icelandic banks has already generated some myths. One is that the Icelandic banking sector was overgrown. There is no such thing as an overgrown banking sector. All depends on the area which the sector is serving and the institutional support it can expect to receive.
Síđar í grein sinni segir Hannes:
The problem was not that the banks were too big; it was that Iceland was too small.
Samkvćmt Hannesi voru bankarnir ekkert of stórir. Ísland var bara of lítiđ. Ţađ ađ rćđa ţađ eitthvađ frekar? :)
