Bozner Bergsteigermarsch - Bozner Mountaineer-March
Sure is the world so big and far
and full of sunshine.
The most beautiful piece of it
is just the homeland mine.
There, where out of a narrow cleft
the Eisack jumps out.
From Sigmund´s crown along the Etsch
up to Salurner Klaus.
Hei di hei da
Ju vi val le ral le ra.
Hei da hei da
Ju vi val le ral le ra.
Where King Ortler holds his forehead,
highly stretched in the air.
Up to the Haunolds Alpine-Realm,
covered by flower-shine.
Here is my beautiful homeland,
with its severe pain,
with its proud and lofty mountaintops,
with its proud joy.

One eighteen and four secondsThe bomb is timed to go off at one twenty, I look at my watch, one sixteen. I've been sitting here ten minutes now. Just me, my camp, my small lunch, my treehouse. I glance out at the small pub now, the chef stands outside smoking a cigar. I watch the smoke as it spirals up into the atmosphere. If the bomb went off now, there was a he'd merely be injured. He takes a last drag on his cigar, tosses it to the ground. I sigh as he goes back into the pub, I always had enjoyed his sunday roast, pity the guy would be dead by one twenty.

Im ganzen Vaterland - In the whole fatherland
Now, through the wide gate
the grenadiers move out.
My heart is leaping for joy,
and sets out with them, too.
Since at the grenadiers,
my darling is already there.
There´s noone being as faithful,
in the whole fatherland.
Horridoh, jaho!
Horridoh jaho!
In the whole fatherland!
And noone is as beautiful,
as my Theodor is.
Not even the captain himself,
and not even the major.
My heart is leaping for joy,
marching away with him.
When I hear the trumpets sounding,
of our battalion.
Horridoh, jaho!
Horridoh jaho!
Of our battalion.
At Whitsun, we will celebrate,

What is Democratic Socialism?What is Democratic Socialism?1 year ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
Democratic socialists believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives. Democracy and socialism go hand in hand. All over the world, wherever the idea of democracy has taken root, the vision of socialism has taken root as well—everywhere but in the United States. Because of this, many false ideas about socialism

Eugenics, population control and infant mutilation in pre-Harmageddon War Infernian society
Ever since the great imp rebellion all Infernian children suspected to be of mixed blood had been put to death, but the roots of this law go even deeper in time. After the falling of the Nether Gate, when the numbers of demons and imps were small, the Archons sent out a commandment that all children born misshapen, sick or weak were to be killed, lest they consume the food and water from the strong and healthy and tarnish the coming generations with their imperfections. It seems clear they feared that inbreeding could undo all Infernians if draconian

Habitat: North America
The history of North American marsupials like the other descendants from the South America in the time period of the Pliocene is sufficiently simple: they reached a certain success, but with the offense of the Ice Age… they survived, in contrast to such placental beasts as the glyptodont and the jaguar. This success was based on the fact that the American marsupial animals (the opossums) are the ecological analogs of the placental rats and are also just as unpretentious in regards to their environment. Therefore, the main (and only) represent

At the very height of their power, the Atlantean civilization discovered the fallen City of the Heavens buried deep within the bedrock. Within it awaited its mystical source of power, the iridiscent element orichalcum. Stretching their ingenuity to its limits the Altanteans rebuilt many of the strange structures of the City of the Heavens, including a great gate to another word, an uninhabited realm with its sky clouded by ash and ground streaked with rivers of molten rock, which they named after the netherworld of their beliefs. Discovering many valuable ores, some of which did not seem to follow the laws of nature as they knew them, the Atl
Flying Velociraptors: take 2Previously, I have ventured into the possibility that deinonychosaurs in general might had been far more volant than previously thought. The key points of the previous article:Flying Velociraptors: take 22 years ago in Academic Essays More Like This
1- Deinonychosaurs, much like megapodes and pterosaurs, had slow growth rates, and might had demonstrated superprecocial behaviour, implying that not only were the young independent, but also volant. By consequence, most if not all of Deinonychosauria engaged in aerial behaviour at least during the earliest part of their lives.
2- The widespread distribution of deinonychosaurs suggests that, much like the contemporary birds and pterosaurs, flight allowed them to colo

recently I've returned from my stay. By now you've probably received several

by retelling these stories. The ship I took home took six and a half weeks to

Hook-snouted goannas are large, dark green (up to black) reptiles (old males sometimes reach more than three meters in length) living in thickets alongside courses of wide streams and forest rivers where in forest canopy gleams appear and the plentiful underbrush develops on the ground. Their males do not have advanced gular sac, but along their backbone darker crest of corneous plaques stretches.

Terra Alternativa 1Terra Alternativa is a speculative evolution project, focusing on the result of Cenozoic where many taxa of the late Cretaceous and Paleogene survived and prospered instead of dying out as in our world. Not exactly a "what if dinosaurs didn't died out" scenario, as most non-avian dinosaurs died anyway; its things like notosuchians, pterosaurs, choristoderes, sparassodonts and multituberculates that really matter; notably are the forms that are restricted to a few scarce forms in our world and that thrive in TA, such as tuataras and gingkos. Watch this alternate present day, where the world is at the same time familiar and very alien.Terra Alternativa 12 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Through most of the Cenozoic, crocodiles were the dominant large aquatic predators, having only to compete with their crocodillian cousins, the alligatorids and gavialids. However, as the Holocene saw its dusk, crocodiles, much like phytosaurs and champsosaurs before them, saw an ugly fate, and declined; by the present date in the Neocene, over 20 million years after Man and God saw their deaths, the last crocodiles are specialised marine forms, descended from australasian stock, with a few secondarily freshwater species in some rivers (their alligatorid relatives, however, are still

By the year 2010 the Newt War has begun to recede into memory: it having essentially dragged to a stalemate in the late 1980s, a new generation has grown up neither knowing the Newts as the implacable enemy of their parents or the troubling slave-species of their grandparents. They are an Enemy, but the horror and revulsion of their parents towards Newts and anything "Newtish" somewhat disturbs young people.
But then, among the older generations, the old terror that the Newts might succeed in sinking the continents still lingers, in spite of Professor Appfelbanger of Ulm's calculation that th

Karl Gustaf knows that all the Swedes talk about their king.
In London, a pilgrimage to the Queen, for that you search in Berlin.

Also Mette Marit can be praised and raised to the nobility.
But we are fed up, that Germany has no Kaiser!
Even the Japanese are smarter and we have only Beckenbauer.

Who rides so late through the night and wind?
It's the father with his child;
He has the boy safe in his arm,
He holds him secure, he holds him warm.
"My son, what makes you hide your face in fear?"
Father, don't you see the Erlking?
The Erlking with crown and flowing robe?
"My son, it's a wisp of fog."
"You dear child, come along with me!
Such lovely games I'll play with you;
Many colorful flowers are at the shore,
My mother has many a golden garment."

What the Erlking promises me so softly?

Die dinosaurs dieDie dinosaurs die1 year ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
Dinosaurs ruled the earth for a period of 134 million years. They appeared in the Triassic, but their pseudosuchian cousins, as well as the remaining therapsids, were the dominant animals across the planet. Dinosaurs did expand into large herbivore niches in the form of sauropodomorphs, but only in the Jurassic did they became the dominant fauna, as their competitors were decimated. Thus, we can outright disprove the notion that dinosaurs were special above all other animal clades, that they too were lucky underdogs rather than a superior race.
Most shockingly, however, is that their reign was not as secure as previously thought. No matter h
Mike's Guide to Making LanguagesPhonemesMike's Guide to Making Languages2 years ago in Academic Essays More Like This
Phonemes are the most basic units of language, the individual sounds that make up words. Each letter in the alphabet represents an array of phonemes, and depending on your dialect, you may utilize anywhere from 30 to 50 in everyday speech. If you're designing a language for an alien, then chances are they'll have a different mouth structure than humans. Hence, their phonemes won't be exactly the same as ours, but there will be similarities, so it's still important to understand how our phonemes work so you can infer how your alien's phonemes will work.
Firstly, you can divide phonemes into two clades, consonants and vowels. Conso
