These days, there is a resurgence of regional pride and cultural identity across national lines as a reaction to globalization. Mathias Dahlgren closed his acclaimed Spanish restaurant Bon Lloc and has opened a "new Swedish identity" restaurant, Mathias Dahlgren, in Stockholm's Grand Hotel. Significantly, Nordic chefs are looking not only in their own backyards but also to one another for inspiration and to their governments for support. The Nordic Council of Ministers, recognizing the marketing tool that gastronomy can be, enthusiastically promotes the interests of new Nordic food as official policy. Pekka Terava of Helsinki's Olo restaurant points...
...loud I almost took a step back. Really? Just because I said your class year? I can’t imagine any situation when shouting “2008” would draw that kind of reaction from my classmates. And it wasn’t just class pride: during the Crimson Key Society’s screening of “Love Story,” the sight of Weld Hall drew cheers from a few and boos from the rest. The mere mention of the word “Canaday” was enough to send a section...
...current interest in the Arctic, in short, is a perfect storm seeded with political opportunism, national pride, military muscle flexing, high energy prices and the arcane exigencies of international law. But the tale begins with global warming, which is transforming the Arctic. The ice cap, which floats atop much of the Arctic Ocean, is at least 25% smaller than it was 30 years ago. As the heat-reflecting ice that has made the Arctic the most inaccessible and uncharted part of the earth turns into water - which absorbs heat - the shrinkage is accelerating faster than climate models ever predicted...
...event, it is hardly as if Russia were the only nation to see the Arctic as a place to burnish national pride. The Norwegians have their new gas field, and Denmark is pursuing proof of its own claims just as doggedly as the Russians - though in a more consensual, Scandinavian mode. The Danes enlisted both a Swedish and a Russian icebreaker for its expedition to the largely uncharted waters north of Greenland to document what Science Minister Helge Sander refers to as "our hopefully justified claim of a continental shelf from Greenland toward the North Pole." The Danes know that...
Igor Petrovich has a good idea. He would like to import a small population of carp to eat the grass that has overgrown the pond. The pond is the pride and joy of Ranina, a resort community in the vast forested flatlands of eastern Belarus, and the grass has grown so thick that swimming and fishing have become difficult. The grass is a source of constant aggravation and conversation among residents who own properties along the water's edge. The homeowners agree that carp would be a simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly solution to the problem...
