For example, the area typically referred to by locals as "North Minneapolis" is actually the Near North community, which is composed of the Hawthorne, Jordan, Near-North, and Willard-Hay neighborhoods.[2]

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Norse mythology - Modern influences The Germanic gods have left traces in modern vocabulary. An example of this is some of the names of the days of the week: modelled after the names of the days of the week in Latin (named after Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn), the names for Tuesday through to Friday were replaced with Germanic equivalents of the Roman gods. In English, Saturn was not replaced, while Saturday is named after the sabbath in German, and is called "washing day" in Scandinavia.
Norse mythology also influenced Richard Wagner's use of literary themes from it to compose the four operas that comprise Der Ring ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - University of Paris - Organization in the Thirteenth century As completing the work of organization the diploma of Philip Augustus and the statutes of Robert de Courçon are worthy of note. The king's diploma was given "for the security of the scholars of Paris", and in virtue of it from the year 1200 the students were subject only to ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Hence the provost and other officers were forbidden to arrest a student for any offence, and if in exceptional cases this was done it was only to hand over the culprit to ecclesiastical authority, for in the event of grave crime royal justice ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Swedish hip hop - The first breakthrough In the end of the 1980s, hip hop became increasingly more popular in Sweden. The international success of Swedish-American rapper/singer Neneh Cherry's crossover album, Raw Like Sushi, made the Swedish media take a closer look at the genre in the context of Sweden's native artists. The Swedish Championship in Rap was held for the first time in 1989 and the winner was ADL's group Sons Of Soul. The runner-up was Ms Melodie, who went on to have a career as Leila K. Briefly picking up the torch of Neneh Cherry, Leila K had an international crossover hit with the rap track "Got To Get". There was now a solid market for ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Runic alphabet - Modern use
Runic alphabet - Third Reich.
Runes have been used in Nazi symbolism by National Socialists and neo-Nazi groups that associate themselves with Germanic traditions, mainly the Sigel, Eihwaz, Tyr, Odal (see Odalism) and Algiz runes.
The fascination that runes seem to have exerted on the Nazis can be traced to the occult and völkisch author Guido von List, one of the important figures in Germanic mysticism and runic revivalism in the late 19th and early 20th century. In 1908, List published in Das Geheimn ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Runic alphabet - Younger Fuþark The Younger Fuþark, also called Scandinavian Fuþark, is a reduced form of the Elder Futhark, consisting of only 16 characters. The reduction correlates with phonetic changes when Proto-Norse evolved into Old Norse. They are found in Scandinavia and Viking Age settlements abroad, probably in use from the 9th century onward. They are divided into long-branch (Danish) and short-twig (Swedish and Norwegian) runes. The difference between the two versions has been a matter of controversy. A general opinion is that the difference was functional, ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Swedish hip hop - The fourth wave Recent acts that has achieved nationwide recognition include: Promoe, Don Diego, Snook, Fjärde Världen, Fattaru, Ison & Fille, Advance Patrol and Ayesha.
Many of these artists has been exposed to a domestic hip hop culture since they were born, or very young. In a sense the Swedish scene has become less volatile, and also less vulnerable to becoming extinct. Influence from the U.S. culture is no longer as significant, American hip hop is still important but outside influences also come from French, British, Japanese, Danish, and Indian hip hop. And other regions around ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Runic alphabet - Frisian and Anglo-Saxon Fuþorc The Futhorc are an extended alphabet, consisting of 29, and later even 33 characters. It was used probably from the 5th century onward. There are competing theories as to the origins of the Anglo-Saxon Fuþorc. One theory proposes that it was developed in Frisia and later spread to England. Another holds that runes were introduced by Scandinavians to England where the fuþorc was modified and exported to Frisia. Both theories have their inherent weaknesses and a definitive answer likely awaits more archaeological evidence. Futhor ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Norse mythology - Overview Norse mythology was a collection of beliefs and stories shared by Northern Germanic tribes. It was not a revealed religion, in that it was not a truth handed down from the divine to the mortal (although it does have tales of normal persons learning the stories of the gods from a visit to or from the gods), and it had no scripture. The mythology was orally transmitted in the form of long, regular poetry. Oral transmission continued through the Viking Age, and our knowledge about it is mainly based on the Eddas and other medieval texts wri ...

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - Johannes Messenius - Imprisonment In 1616, he was accused of conspiring with king Sigismund and the Jesuits. He was found guilty as charged, when he could not find twelve men who swore that he was innocent. He was sentenced to death in July 1616, but the king changed the sentence to prison, probably for life.
In October 1616, he was transported to the desolate fortress Kajaneborg near the Russian border, where he was harshly treated by its commander Erik Håra. He occupied himself with writing historical works and by doing research in Swedish source documents. Every o ...

He almost completely rejected the so-called school drama, to which almost all previous Swedish plays had belonged. Instead, he rather followed the movement of the German Jakob Ayrer.
However, his most successful decision was to write plays on Swedish history, as it was perceived in his time, i.e. including the Fornaldarsagas. His most influential works were:

| | | | | Uppsala: Encyclopedia II - John Ausonius - Media The journalist Gellert Tamas wrote a book about the case, Lasermannen - en berättelse om Sverige (2002), which became a bestseller. The book, which is very detailed, was published without consulting the victims first. The book not only deals with Ausonius and his life story, but also with Sweden in general, making the case that his actions were in part explained by a surge of racism in the country in the early 1990s, including the success of the Ny Demokrati right-wing party in the election.
In 2005, the book was adapted into a play, and the same year SVT produced a three-part TV miniseries, which premiered on November 2 ...
