Stev is a form of poetry.
It can be found in lyric poetry from Scandinavia.
Stev are made of stanzas, that have four lines
The different types of stev
gamle-stev or "gamlestev" is the oldest type.
It is likely that gamle-stev were danced.
The earliest gamle-stev have been found from around the end of the 1200's.
Most gamle-stevs are from Setesdal and Vest-Telemark.
Some gamle-stev may be part of folk songs.
The gamle-stev is the only part of the folk song which was past down from generation to generation.
The rest of the folk song is no longer known.
ny-stev or "nystev" have probably been around since about year 1700.
Most ny-stevs have been replaced by rural folksongs in Telemark, but not in Setesdal.
om-kved or "omkved" are similar to refrains in ballads.
Inn-stev, etter-stev, mellom-sleng  and etter-sleng  are different types of om-kved.
slåtte-stev or "slåttestev" are instrumental dance songs.
herme-stev or hermestev are often referred to as "parody-quote" stev.
The contain apologetic proverbs (also known as Wellerisms).
The people who can perform stev
A person who can perform a stev, is known as a kveder ( a type of artist ).
Aslak Brekke is possibly the most well known of those who have been recorded.
A kveder from Setesdal, when performing stev, usually sings more slowly, than a kveder from Telemark.
One reason for this may be that the text of Setesdal stev are usually more meditative (or elegiac).

It is this latter the punch used usually in Kung-fu and the advised to person who had not had a proper training (because in this form it is much more difficult injury the wrist in case of doing it badly).

The Olm, or Proteus (Proteus anguinus) is an amphibian, native to the underground waters of the Dinaric karst that flow through the Soča river basin near Trieste in Italy, through to southern Slovenia, southwestern Croatia, and Herzegovina.
It is the only species in the genus Proteus, the only European species of the family Proteidae, and the only European cave-dwelling chordate.
It is also called the human fish or humanfish, because of its human-like skin (translated literally from Slovenian: Človeška ribica and Croatian: Čovječja ribica), Cave Salamander, or White Salamander.
She began her career in the late 1990s as a pop singer.
Later on, she moved to acting.
Her most famous role is as Rose Tyler, a companion to the Doctor in the television series Doctor Who.
She played this role from 2005 to 2006, and also reprised it in 2008 and 2010.
Piper's first chance in the entertainment world came when she was a teenager, when she was selected to appear on the Saturday morning kids' television show Scratchy and Co. Piper later got a role in a television commercial promoting the pop magazine Smash Hits.
In 1996 she sang on a backing song Nobody's Business.
It was a dance track by h20.
Soon after she was offered a record deal at the age of fifteen, and in 1998 became the youngest artist ever to start at number one in the UK Singles Chart with "Because We Want To", released under the artist name "Billie".
Her follow-up single "Girlfriend" also started at number one and her first album, Honey to the B (released immediately afterwards) started at Number 14 in the UK album charts.
She released two further singles off the album, "She Wants You" and "Honey to the B"; both songs started at Number 3.
Piper then took a year to record her second album.
She decided to release more records under her full name, Billie Piper.
She returned to the Singles Chart in May 2000 with a new, sexier sound.
She hit the Number 1 spot with "Day & Night", but her success was not to carry on.
She waited until the following September to release "Something Deep Inside".
That reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.
In October 2000, Piper released her second album, Walk of Life, which reached Number 14 in the UK Album Chart.
The song "Walk of Life", the last single off this album, was released in December 2000 and reached Number 25 in the UK Singles Chart.

On 15 January 2007, BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles started a campaign to get "Honey to the B" back into the Top 100 on download sales as a way of testing out new chart rules that favour download sales.
The campaign was highly successful, with "Honey to the Bee"re-entering the official UK singles chart at No.
17, eight years after it was first released.
Piper prefers lip singing during performances.
She backs this up with the reason that she is afraid she would not be able to sing live.
However, in 1999 she decided to try actually singing during her tour in America.
The audience loved it, but Piper said it made her too nervous to do it in Britain, where she had many more fans.
After an extended break, Piper decided to end her pop career in 2003 and return to her first ambition, acting.
She took acting lessons while living in London.
Piper gained very good reviews for these appearances and critics said that she was a far better actress than she was a singer.
In 2004, Piper appeared in the movies The Calcium Kid, as the romantic interest of Orlando Bloom's character, and Things to do Before You're Thirty.
Shortly before starting work on Doctor Who, she was one of the main characters in the horror movie Spirit Trap alongside Russian pop star Alsou, released in the summer of 2005 to bad reviews.
In May 2004, it was announced that Piper was to play the character Rose Tyler, companion to The Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston, in the long-running BBC television series Doctor Who, beginning in 2005.
Piper won the Most Popular Actress category at the 2005 and 2006 National Television Awards for her work on Doctor Who.
BBC News named Piper as one of its "Faces of the Year" for 2005, primarily due to her success in Doctor Who.
At The South Bank Show Awards on 27 January 2006 Piper was awarded The Times Breakthrough Award for her successful transition from singing to acting.
In March 2006, the Television and Radio Industries Club named Piper as best new TV talent at their annual awards ceremony.
In September 2006, Piper was named Best Actress at the TV Quick and TV Choice Awards.
After the completion of the very successful first series of the revamped Doctor Who, the British media regularly released conflicting reports about how long Piper would be staying with the programme.
In March 2006, she claimed that she would continue on Doctor Who into its third season in 2007.
On 10 May 2006, however, she was reported to be considering quitting the series, although she did express an interest in playing a female version of the Doctor in the future (possibly related to a proposed Doctor Who spin-off series about Rose which was later dropped).
On 15 June 2006, the BBC announced that she was to depart in the final episode of the second series, "Doomsday".
Piper's decision to leave had been taken a year previously, but remained a secret until news of her departure became public.
On 27 November 2007, the BBC confirmed that she would return her role as Rose Tyler in the fourth series for three episodes.
Later, it was confirmed by Russell T Davies in Doctor Who Magazine that this return had been planned since she left.
It was also revealed in the Turn Left Doctor Who Confidential that Billie had made arrangements to return as Rose since she decided to leave.
The series began in April 2008, and after several cameo appearances, Piper made her official return as Rose in the series four final episodes Turn Left, The Stolen Earth and Journey's End.
She has not said whether she will be reprising the role again, although on Doctor Who Confidential she said that she thinks "It's never really the end for the Doctor and Rose" but it probably was "for the foreseeable future".
In November 2005, Piper starred as Hero in a BBC adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, updated for the modern day like in Canterbury Tales series in which she featured, with Hero now being a weather presenter in a television station.
Piper has completed work on a BBC version of Philip Pullman's historical novel The Ruby in the Smoke broadcast in December 2006, Piper played main character Sally Lockhart, a Victorian orphan.
The BBC plans to film all four of Pullman's Sally Lockhart novels, with Piper continuing in the role in The Shadow in the North which was shown in December 2007.
In 2007 she appeared as the main character, Fanny Price, in an adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park, screened on ITV1.
This was her first acting role on television for a broadcaster other than the BBC.
Piper has provided voiceovers for various television commercials, including one for Comfort Fabric Softener airing in June 2007.
Piper stars in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, an ITV2 version of Belle de Jour's The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl, a memoir detailing the life of a high-class prostitute.
The series, which aired from 27 September 2007, saw Piper in several semi-nude scenes, including a lesbian romp and one scene featuring her saddling a client and riding him like a horse.
A second series, with Piper in the starring role, started filming in May 2008, during which two body doubles were hired in order to effectively hide Piper's pregnancy.
Piper made her first stage appearance in a touring production of Christopher Hampton's play Treats, which opened in early 2007 in Windsor.
Treats was to have ended its tour in the West End, at the Garrick Theatre, starting on 28 February 2007 with previews from on 20 February.
The play-officially finished as of 26 May.

The Mighty Boosh is a British comedy television series that was shown on BBC Three.
It was also a radio programme.
Since the television series, there have been live tours of it.
The first series is about two zookeepers called Howard and Vince.
The second series is also about them but is set in a flat.
The third is set in a shop.
Fielding first met Barratt after seeing him perform his solo stand-up performance at the Hellfire Comedy Club in the Wycombe Swan theatre.
The pair soon found that they shared comic interests, formed a double act, and "decided to be the new Goodies".
After their first performance together at a bar in London in April 1998, Barratt and Fielding developed their zookeeper characters - Howard Moon and Vince Noir, respectively - in a series of sketches for Paramount Comedy’s Unnatural Acts.
It was here that they also met Rich Fulcher, who would become Bob Fossil.
Fielding’s friend Dave Brown and Fielding's own brother Michael also became regular collaborators.
The Boosh soon produced three stage shows - The Mighty Boosh (1998), Arctic Boosh (1999) and Autoboosh (2000) - all of them were at the Edinburgh Fringe.
With the success of Autoboosh, a radio series was commissioned by the BBC.
Produced by Danny Wallace, The Boosh was first broadcast in 2001 on BBC London Live, later moving to BBC Radio 4, from which the team were given a half-hour television show of the same name.
The first eight-part series, directed by Paul King, was then commissioned for BBC Three and broadcast in 2004, with a second of six episodes the following year.
The second series moved away from the zoo setting, and instead Howard, Vince, Naboo the shaman and Bollo the talking ape living in a flat in Dalston.
In 2006, the Boosh returned to theatre with The Mighty Boosh Live, which featured a new story entitled "The Ruby of Kukundu".
After two years, the Boosh returned to the television in November 2007.
Set in Naboo’s second-hand shop below the flat, the third series drew in approximately one million viewers with its first episode, and in light of its success, BBC Three broadcast an entire night of The Mighty Boosh on March 22, 2008, which included a new documentary and six of Barratt and Fielding's favourite episodes from all three series.
There will not be a fourth series till at least 2010 because they will be working upon a movie.
This movie has been confirmed by the BBC.

An Encyclical originally was a letter sent by a bishop to all churches of a particular area.
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences dates back four centuries to its creation as the Accademia dei Lincei in 1603.
Pope Pius IX changed the name to the Pontifical Academy of the New Lincei in 1847 to signify its new status as an official institution of the Pontifical State.
Nearly a century later, it was reorganized as the Pontifical Academy of Science on October 28, 1936, by Pope Pius XI in a Motu proprio In multis solaciis (Latin "Among the many consolations").
Although it reports directly to the Pontiff, the academy has considerable freedom in conducting its mission: the study of Science and the possible consequences for the human condition.
Christian belief is not a prerequisite for membership to the academy, because first and foremost, it is a legitimate Scientific body that follows the Scientific Method.
As of 2003 more than two dozen Nobel Prize winners (including Professor Ahmed Zewail, Chemistry 1999) and several Field Medal winners were counted as members.
Plenary sessions are interdisciplinary events held every other year to review new developments and discus progress made towards their mission.
Common working groups include astronomy and cosmology, cognition and brain science, and genetics.

Vulgar Latin, or Common Latin, is one of the two types of Latin.
Latin is an old language that was spoken by the Romans.
Vulgar Latin is not spoken anymore, but its many dialects eventually became what are now Romance languages (such as Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Romanian).
Vulgar Latin was spoken by the regular people ("vulgus" in Latin means "common"): farmers, workers and those without a great deal of education.
Classical Latin is the type of Latin that was first spoken by the Romans.
As time went by, fewer and fewer people spoke Classical Latin, and in the end the language changed to become Vulgar Latin.
After a while, only scholars spoke Classical Latin.
Books were still written in it.
Nobody speaks Latin anymore except for people who study it and the Roman Catholic Church's officials.
Vulgar Latin is similar to Classical Latin but has some differences in pronunciation and vocabulary.
Latin has 5 basic noun cases.
