So far I have got a few interviews with this CV.
Apparently it is ok, despite being a bit heavy on the buzzwords.
(It is not a beautiful thing, pardon the formatting, MS Word was at one point involved in the process… This is not an example to be followed. )

Facistfylla er når du har nådd en viss promille og begynner å få en merkelig blanding av ekstreme liberale og autoritære tendenser.
Man blir gjerne for eugenikk som konsept, vil stenge (Eventuellt åpne) norske grenser, er for legalisering av stort sett allt, blir mer sympatisk inntillt til dødsstraff for naskeri, vil opprette fangekoloni på Jan Mayen, mener at alle menn burde holdes i bånd i egne leire for fritt bruk til lyst eller grøftegraving eller arrangerte deathmatcher (Da det er allt menn er bra for etter at vi gikk fra et stammesamfunn til et EQ-samfunn), og synes at 24-timers alkoholsalg på besinstasjoner er en god ide.
Det siste fordi flaska er tom og man gjerne skulle svippet ned på shell for påfyll.
Men idstedet sovner man, og når man våkner opp er det en ny dag, og man stemmer på SV eller KrF eller AP eller Høyre eller noe sånnt.
Analysis of the results after the national tests in Norwegian primary education has shown that boys in 8th grade (15-16 years or so) read far worse than their female peers.
EXCEPT when their parents have high education. In which case girls and boys alike do well.
So my question is: How on earth can low educated parents complain about the feminisation of schooling, and how schools are for girls and gays, and so on when they clearly are the ones to blame for their sons’ low attainment?
As here is a proven link between low educational outcome and extremely gendered views in general, and a working class view on mens work is not known for being linked to academic performance, perhaps the whining about “Femiskolen” and “emasculation of boys” is more related to the general attitude to schooling among these boys’ parents, and maybe also the low achievement-levels of their sons have something to do with their parents’ attitudes? Just wondering…
Ofcourse, norway has no working class as everyone is the same, so please disregard this ranting.
This is pasted for my examrevision of social demography. A Wonderful exam (I got an A), in a subject taught by a demographer who started out in gender studies, my most inspiring lecturer yet.
“Social demography has the perks that the main theory and founding event of this statistical subject “The demographic transition
“, occured in a time of few to no records on poupulation composition, happened at various times in various countries to various extent, with the events and assumed causes of the effect having no system to them when countries are compared. Norway were quite EARLY with a fairly accurate-ish cencus (Ignoring certain vagrant groups and ethnic minorities and suchlike), the first one being in 1901. Demography is in other words the art of making accurate predictions based on the past on which we have no meaningful data, assuming that all generations will have identical lifecourses, no social change happens, and ignoring immigration.
It makes for great essays and much EU funding.
This is another feminist lecturer, this time a man, who has his own special theories regarding female emancipation as an EFFECT of lower birthrates, rather than as a cause of them. These theories are seductively simple and intuitive, and I have to work really hard to not take everything he sais as fact. The man is just TOO NICE.
Anyway, for those of you interested in numbers which are lies:
Replacement rate: The assumed number of children each woman must have to keep the population up. It is calculated by adding a fraction of each child a woman have had over a cross section of society. i.e, It takes the number of kids 1000 16yearolds have, divide it by the bredth of the study (The gap from 16 to 50), and then do the same to every year in the cohort. And add up the average number of children a fertile woman have AT THAT TIME.
The replacement level of 2,1 is entirely arbitrary, after the system “2 per couple, plus a bit for the infertile ones and early deaths”. This number would be entirely ok to measure trends with if all generations did presicely like the previous one. The recent dip in replacement rate is more likely to do with women delaying childbirth till after education, than women deciding not to have kids. Which is the case will only be measurable when the women who FIRST decided to delay childbirth have come to the end of their fertile years (or more to the point: The end of what is measured). In norway this number has now corrected itself, and women of Norway are birthing as much as before the intruduction to the pill.
I will come back to you on this one in 30 years in other words.
Ageing population: The art of making the fact that childhood mortality has reduced, and people surviving past 70 seem like a bad thing.
Dependency ratio: Surely this is the number of people who are economically active divided by the people depending on these people for support? Surely? No.
This is the number of people of working age, divided by the people under 16 and over pensionable age. Another perfectly good measure in certain economic situations. But not when it comes to deciding if we are heading for a tax burden crisis. Students, the infirm, the unemployed, and female labourmarket participation has NO effect on this ratio. If anything it has “improved”, as large families are no longer commonplace, and infant mortality is extremely low.
…I am fairly relaxed. And feeling smug. I have defeated numbers. Using brains.
You ever wondered why italians put parmesan or anchovies on everything?
And the same thing about chinese food and soy sauce? and Thai with their Nam Pla?
The answer is Umami.
From wikipedia:
“Umami (旨味?) is one of the five generally recognised basic tastes sensed by specialized receptor cells present on the human tongue. Umami is a loanword from Japanese meaning roughly “tasty”, although “brothy“, “meaty“, or “savory” have been proposed as alternative translations.[1][2] The same taste is also known as xiānwèi (traditional Chinese: 鮮味; simplified Chinese: 鲜味 literally “Fresh Flavor”) in Chinese cooking. In as much as it describes the flavor common to savory products such as meat, cheese, and mushrooms, umami is similar toBrillat-Savarin‘s concept of osmazome, an early attempt to describe the main flavoring component of meat as extracted in the process of making stock.”
Ok, that clarified everything. So how do we use it?
Well, imagine that you have food you want to taste.. ehm.. tastier. The usual solution is to add salt and pepper, or put sauce on. Now this is all well and nice, but salt is unhealthy, and to be honest, salt and pepper can only do so much.
Umami you can use to CHEAT. It is the easy route to everything nommy.
Some suggestions:
Mash: Use a vegetable stock cube instead of butter.
broccoli: sprinkle parmesan over for instant goodness, or pour weak stock over cooked veg.
sauteed onions: a few drops of nam pla or sweet soy sauce in
Add cheese to sauce to thicken them, learn from the Cæsar salad where the dressing has hidden bits of anchovies in it, use soy sauce other places than in chinese food..
In essence: Learn what tastes of umami and use it actively, have fun, experiment, become a better cook.
-Or just go to your local chinese supermarket and buy a bag of MSG. That works too.
Hei, mitt navn er Oda, og jeg har hatt psykdom.
Jeg er ikke noen typisk gal person som du kanskje har lest om: har ikke selvmordsambisjoner, samler ikke frimerker, og har ingen planer om å ende opp på forsiden av aftenposten etter å ha skutt folk på skolen.
Jeg vil gjerne introdusere ett begrep i norsk dagligtale: Hjernesnue.
Hjernesnue er når man midlertidig pga biologi, stress, at det er mørkt ute, at gullfisken din dør, eller hva det nå måtte være, blir satt ut i en stund. Hjernesnue er som en litt ille lungebetennelse. Like vanlig. Ofte greit å få under kontroll med litt ligging i senga, støtte, suppe, og kanskje noen piller over en periode.
Lungebetennelse er det ingen som blir sett rart på for å ha stressa på seg.
Panikkanfall, depresjon, søvnvansker, eller en tendens til å vaske hendene litt for ofte er det derimot mye skam forbundet med.
Min hjernesnue foregikk omtrent sånn:
Oda hadde stress. Oda knakk sammen i butikken med skjelvninger og panikkangst. Oda gikk til hjerneskrumperen som fortalte meg at jeg stresset for mye, og skulle slutte med kaffe. Kanskje ta en måned eller to på sofan. Og det gjorde jeg. Og noen måneder etterpå gikk busemennene mine vekk, og jeg drikker fortsatt koffeinfri kaffe.
Hjernesnue. Jeg hadde det. Om du ikke har hatt det enda så kan det hende at du kommer til å få det. Og om du later som om du har det greit fordi du ikke vil ha stigmaet med å være PSYK, så gjør du deg selv en bjørnetjeneste.
