They worshiped a great many gods.
Viking gods belonged to two groups of gods in Norse mythology.
They either belonged to the Aesir or the Vanir.
The Aesir were gods of war.
Aesir means "gods".
They were the rulers of Asgard.
Odin was the leader of the Aesir.
He and the gods under him ruled mortal men.
The vanir were wise gods skilled in magical arts.
they live in Vanaheim, although nobody knows where it is.

The pagan Vikings were exposed to Christianity from the beginning of the Viking Age.
They were surrounded by Christian countries.
Early Christian missionaries were either enslaved or put to death.
The Vikings came into contact with Christianity when they raided other areas around them.
Viking raids produced many Christian slaves who were brought back to Scandinavia.
They called Christians "Cross-men" because of the cross in their worship.
In response many Vikings adopted Thors hammer as their religious symbol.
When Vikings settled in Christian areas they converted to Christianity.
There are still Headstones in England with both a cross and a hammer.
Perhaps they thought it was better to be safe than sorry.
That, or the more gods the better.
As some Vikings turned from raiding to trading they found a nominal (in name only) profession of Christianity to be helpful.
Scandinavia, their homeland, was slower to change to the Christian religion.
But by the mid-11th century most of Norway and Denmark had converted.
Sweden was converted by the mid-12th century.
Overall Scandinavia and the peoples of the Baltic Sea were the last to accept Christianity.
The Viking's religion affected Christianity as well.
The pagan celebration of Yuletide became Christmas along with the custom of the Christmas tree.
Priests blessing the fields took the place of pagan fertility rites of spring held to make sure there was a good harvest.
Norse kept their "farm gods" well after Christianity just to make sure they were protected.
Santa Claus owes much of his legend to the Norse god Odin.
With his snow-white beard he traveled the midwinter sky on his eight-footed steed Sleipnir visiting his people with gifts.
He became Father Christmas.
Blended with the Christian Saint Nicholas he (they) became Santa Claus.
Wagner and his partners deliberately dressed the actors in the opera Ring des Nibelungen'' so they would look like ancient Germans and so the audience would feel like modern Germans came from medieval Vikings.

Piracy can mean different things; it can be a crime that is committed.
A human on a ship at sea is called a pirate and usually has small, fast boats.
Pirates use such boats to attack other ships, which are usually large cargo ships.
For as long as ships have sailed the sea, there have been pirates.
Ancient Egypt and Greece, the Romans, Medieval kings, and the British Empire dealt with pirates.
Fighting pirates has sometimes been one of the most important roles of a navy.
Piracy still happens often in the Gulf of Aden, mostly by Somali pirates.
Modern pirates usually climb onto ships to get money.
In the process, they may kill the crew or hold it for ransom.
In a very few cases, they may also take over the ship and sell its cargo.
The cargo ships that travel the oceans are huge, but they usually have very few crew members working on them.
Their size often makes the ships carry a lot of money in the safe.
The money is used to pay the crew, to pay for the taxes to stay at a port, or to pass through a channel.

Digital media (compared to analog media) is electronic media that works on digital codes.
Today, computing is based on the binary numeral system, so the "digital" refers to the use of "0" and "1" to show data.
Computers are machines that use binary digital data as information.
Digital media ("Formats for presenting information" according to media) like digital audio, digital video and other digital "content" can be created, referred to and distributed by digital information processing machines.
Digital media is a big change from (analog) media.
Digital and analog data
The transformation of an Analog signal to Digital information by an analog-to-digital converter is called sampling.
According to information theory, sampling is a reduction of information.
Most digital media are based on turning analog data into digital data and vice-versa (see digital recording, digital video, television versus digital television).
Working with digital media
Compared to analog data, digital data is easier to control, and can be made into many copies without losing any quality.
Mathematical operations can be made into digital information regardless of its meaning (you can add "2" to the data "65" and view the result either as the hexadecimal number "43" or the letter "C").
Thus, it is possible to use the same compression operation onto a text file or an image file or a sound file.

The settings of YA stories are limited only by the skill of the author.
YA stories often focus on the challenges of youth.

He was the party leader for the Left Party of south Kurdistan.
Crystal Cave is the most famous of Bermuda's many underground caverns.
It is in Hamilton Parish, close to Castle Harbor.
A favorite of tourists since since 1907, it was found in 1905 by Carl Gibbons and Edgar Hollis.
The two boys were looking for their lost cricket ball which fell into a hole in the ground.
Soon after, the Wilkinson family (the owners of the property since 1884) learned of the discovery.
Mr. Percy Wilkinson lowered his 14-year-old son Bernard into it with a bicycle lamp on 140 feet of rope tied to a tree to explore the cave.
The area around Harrington Sound (which is to the south of Crystal Cave) is made of limestone and has many underground waterways, through which the waters of the sound empty into the Atlantic.
Crystal Cave is one of these, and - as its name suggests - has many stalactites, stalagmites, and deep crystal-clear pools.
Next to Crystal Cave is Fantasy Cave with Fantasy being deeper (88 steps down).
Fantasy Cave was reopened in the summer of 2001 with all the walking paths having been rebuilt and additional lighting added.
It was found and opened about the same time as Crystal Cave.
It had been closed by the owners in the 1940s.
The two caves on 8 Crystal Caves Rd.
at Wilkinson Ave.
can be reached by bus, taxi and other private forms of transportation.
Outside the two caves is a sub-tropical garden lined with palm trees where one will find many different trees and flowers.
Fig Pudding is a young adult novel written by Ralph Fletcher.
It was first published in 1995.
The novel was recommended as one of the ten best books of 1995 by the American Library Association.
Cliff is eleven years old and the oldest of six children in his family who live in Ballingsford.
As Christmas nears, Cliff's grandmother arrives for a visit.
Cliff's baby brother is rushed to the hospital with a severe illness.
While he is getting better in the hospital on Christmas Eve his family finally figure out that he has been asking Santa Claus for a little ladder like the one used to climb up to the top of a bunk bed.
The whole family work together to build Josh a ladder and deliver it him on Christmas morning.
Later, Cliff's first grade brother Brad, drives his bicycle into an ambulance and dies.
The family spends the next Christmas at a resort trying to adjust to the loss of Brad but the trip does not seem to work.
Their spirits rise during a New Year's party at Aunt Pat's house.
When they arrive at the party Josh  steps by mistake into Dad's special fig pudding.
Dad removes the shoe, smooths down the pudding, and swears the children to secrecy.
They all keep a straight face until Uncle Eddie says that the fig pudding is the best ever and asks Dad if he has added some new ingredient.
They all laugh when the real story of the shoe is told.
Fig Pudding is written using an episodic plot style.
Chris Sherman in his review for Booklist said that "Fletcher captures perfectly the humor, irritations, and sadness of life in a large, close-knit family and makes Cliff a sympathetic and thoughtful narrator, occasionally bewildered by his siblings' antics but always a completely believable older brother.
The comedy in the final chapter will leave readers recalling hilarious family disasters of their own."
Elizabeth Devereaux in her review for Publishers Weekly said this novel "neatly blends the humor and frustrations of growing up in a large family."

Solar panels get energy from the sun for people to use.
There are two types of solar panels, those that collect heat (thermal), and those that produce electricity (photovoltaic).
Heat from solar panels is often used for space heating and for hot water.
Solar panels collect renewable energy.
In the 20th century some used the heat of the sun to make steam for a steam engine to turn a generator.
Nowadays producing electricity from the sun's light is cheaper.
This is a solid state way of producing electricity, meaning that it has no moving parts.
Home solar panels are often mounted on rooftops.
Commercial or industrial installations are often on trackers mounted on the ground.
The trackers point the panel towards the sun as the sun moves across the sky.
Photovoltaic panels are also commonly used in outer space, where they are one of the few power sources available.
Solar panels for heat are usually made from a box with a clear window on top.
Pipes run through the box.
The pipes and the box are usually painted black because black absorbs more heat than other colors.
The pipes are filled with a heat transfer fluid such as water or oil.
A pump circulates the fluid, which heats up as it is exposed to the sun.
When the hot fluid leaves the panel, it goes into a heat exchanger, which transfers the heat into water or air.
After the now cool fluid leaves the heat exchanger, it is pumped back up into the panel to collect heat again.
Photovoltaic solar panels are built to last about thirty years.
So far, most of the solar panels, originally created in the 1980's have not yet reached the end of their estimated lifespans.
Many of the solar panels which have expired, however, have been classified as hazardous waste.
The used solar panels that have not been considered dangerous can be recycled to create new solar panels.
Over 90% of the solar panel is recyclable to create either new solar panels or scrap material.
First, the panels are broken down by removing the metal frames and glass plate, leaving the group of solar cell sandwiched between an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resin and back film.
To actually get to the solar cells themselves, the resin and backing must be removed.

for swimming pools, a solar water heating system uses solar hot water panels.
They may be put on your roof to collect the sun’s heat and bring the water to the pool.
Solar panels are also being used in space exploration and other forms of transportation.
Solar panels have become much cheaper to use, compared to oil, diesel and liquified natural gas in parts of Asia.
Solar energy will soon become the main source of energy.
Over the years many innovations have been made to improve solar panels.
Solar panels have been used for space exploration and are being developed to be able to power cars.
Along with this, scientists are developing solar cells in silicone to increase its convenience.
Solar shingles
Solar shingles are a new type of solar panel that look like ordinary asphalt roof shingles.
They are used where the appearance of traditional solar panels might be undesirable, such as on residential rooftops.
Solar shingles are more expensive and less durable than normal solar panels.

Vaginoplasty is surgery to shape a vagina.
Some babies are born with a problem where the vagina did not grow right.
Doctors fix this with a vaginoplasty.
Some women do not like how their vagina looks or feels.
They can ask for a vaginoplasty.
Some transsexual women ask for a vaginoplasty when they go from male to female.
There are many ways to do a vaginoplasty.
Most use tissue from other parts of the body of the patient.
They can use tissue from inside the mouth, skin tissue, the vaginal labia, or the intestines.
For transgender women, they can use the penis and scrotum to make a vagina, but they must continue to dilate the new vagina to keep it by a tool.
