American connections[edit]




8th Avenue Diner in Vanse


The village of Vanse is notable for having several close connections to America due to the high number of inhabitants emigrating to the United States from 1825 to 1975. A lot of them returned to Norway and brought back American music, clothing, housewares, and values.


This connection is celebrated every year with the "American Festival" celebrated the last weekend in June every year. A stage is assembled in the middle of "Brooklyn Square" (named after Brooklyn, New York, where many of the Norwegian immigrants settled) and there is a small funfair set up. The festival starts on a Thursday and ends on Sunday morning, after culminating in a large outdoor street dance to live music.


Brooklyn Square in Vanse is the site of the "8th Avenue Diner", an American themed bar which regularly hosts live concerts, mostly in the country music genre. Kjell Elvis, a local Elvis Presley impersonator has performed at 8th Avenue a number of times. It is also home to "Trunken", a speciality store specializing in imported American goods such as furniture, clothing, candy items, and certain ingredients in American cuisine.

Full-time equivalent

Full-time equivalent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) or whole time equivalent ( WTE ) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable [1] across various contexts. FTE is often used to measure a worker's or student's involvement in a project, or to track cost reductions in an organization. An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.
