A glimpse into the mind of our Artistic Director as she shares her knowledge and expertise on our music selections, the composers, artists, concerts, and more
on July 21, 2021 August 22, 2021
A Word from the Artistic Director – Summer 2021
It is my great pleasure to reveal to you our exciting plans for our upcoming 43rd Consortium Aurora Borealis season 2021-2022, appropriately entitled "The Magic Returns!" We have missed you, but you have never been far from our thoughts!
We are thrilled that we will at last be able to present you with more magnificent music-making starting in September, after the lengthy silence which was regrettably imposed on all of us by the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that you have remained safe and healthy, as have I, and that you are ready to welcome us back into your lives!
I have taken particular joy in crafting seven concert programmes of great music for you, to be performed by fabulous musicians. Ours will be a hybrid season, commencing cautiously with four virtual concerts, which will bring our music directly into your homes, and then moving carefully to live performances, with safety measures in place, in the new year. We can't wait to see you all again, and fervently hope that you will choose to join with us in what promises to be a most rewarding and uplifting season! A huge vote of thanks goes to the very hard-working Board of Directors, who labour tirelessly on many aspects of Consortium, offering guidance and wisdom too.
In times like this we really need to let our spirits be uplifted through listening to music, letting its strains boost our mood and bring us joy! We will be energized by its power to heal and inspire as we draw near to the time that we will finally be able to gather together!
Our season's offerings will be marked by great variety, as usual. Our opening concert, "Rhapsodic Romanticism", will be shared by two of our finest local musicians. Distinguished piano soloist Evgeny Chugunov will perform two impassioned Rhapsodies by Brahms and six vignettes from Tchaikovsky's The Seasons (August to December). Cellist Peter Cosbey will join him in soulful music for cello and piano by Ernest Bloch ("Three Scenes from Jewish Life: Prayer, Supplication, and Jewish Song") and by Russian composer Anton Arensky. In selecting the Bloch cello solos, I had in mind that they well reflected the mood which prevailed during the pandemic, being rather introspective and sorrowful. More of Arensky's music will be heard in our first live concert later this season. Two Hungarian Dances by Brahms, arranged for cello and piano, provide a rousing finale!
We are fortunate to be recording the first two concerts on the fine nine-foot Steinway concert grand piano at McNulty Recital Hall at the Department of Music, Lakehead University, for which we thank them! This instrument is perfect for the repertoire to be heard. In October, we look forward to hearing Mozart's melodiously charming "Kegelstatt" Trio, selections from Max Bruch's warmly lyrical Eight Pieces, Op. 83, and an arrangement of a Piazzolla Tango by our own Patrick Horn, which will make up the enticing programme of chamber music for the unusual combination of clarinet, viola and piano. Performing are E-Chen Hsu, Patrick Horn, and Mariko Kamachi Cosbey.
The whole musical world joined together in 2020 to celebrate the 250th birthday of the great Ludwig von Beethoven, as also did Consortium, with Evgeny Chugunov performing a movement from one of the master's piano sonatas, which we aired virtually on the actual day of his birthday. We had also intended to present a live performance of a Beethoven chamber work that year, but COVID-19 made that impossible. However, we are now making up for that by offering you a virtual performance in November of Beethoven's String Trio Op. 3 in E-flat major from 1795. Enter into the gracious atmosphere of Vienna as Katie Stevens, Patrick Horn, and Peter Cosbey delight us also with a Schubert String Trio from 1816, which interestingly happens to have been composed the same year on which the reconstruction of Fort William Historical Park was based!
We could not fail to include a concert from our favourite period of music, and so we are delighted to present "Baroque Bliss" on December 7th, with eighteenth-century violin duos by Vivaldi, Leclair, and Telemann. Katie Stevens (TBSO's Assistant Concertmaster) returns, and we are pleased to welcome a special guest, who will join her. As a special treat, Peter Cosbey will perform J. S. Bach's Suite No. 2 in D minor for unaccompanied cello.
And now for a sneak peek at the three live concerts, to be performed once it is safe to do so, at yet to be determined dates. I mentioned earlier how apt "The Magic Returns" is as the title of our upcoming season. Many of you will remember violinist Jeremy Bell's dazzling "Magic and Fire" concert from November 30, 2019. Well, we are thrilled to inform you that long-time Consortium favourite Jeremy will be back not once, but twice in the new year to provide yet more magic, appearing both with the Penderecki String Quartet later in the season and also with pianist Evgeny Chugunov and cellist Marc Palmquist in our first live concert of 2022, "Romantic Piano Trios."
Unbridled Romanticism will once more raise its head, as Bell and colleagues perform Robert Schumann's Piano Trio No. 3 in G minor and Anton Arensky's Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, with heart on sleeve! The Penderecki String Quartet has planned to perform Haydn's Op. 20, No. 5, and will then move from Classicism into Romanticism with Dvořák's final string quartet (No. 14), his magnificent Op.105. One more live concert remains to be fitted into the season where convenient, and the plan for that is to have Doris Dungan, Colleen Kennedy, Katie Stevens, Patrick Horn, and Peter Cosbey perform "Quintessential Quintets" by J.S. Bach's youngest son Johann Christian Bach, plus a flute quartet and an oboe quartet, making use of all the instruments at our disposal.
So I hope I have made the season sound appealing! A word or two about virtual concerts, and I have been watching a great many of them here at home in Toronto. Do try to watch them on your largest screen, even with headphones if you desire better sound. But what I really appreciate is that I can watch them more than once, interrupt them, return, replay sections of interest, and get to see the performers up more closely than I would at a live concert. So there are pluses to both types of experiences!
I do hope you like what I have put together and always welcome your feedback. I have really missed you! I wanted to include a fairly recent photo of me to demonstrate that I am alive, well and relaxed here at home in Toronto! I encourage you to join our audience, be it virtual or live, and to tell your friends as well, since tickets will be available to all events, online and otherwise.
Finally, since we will have gone a very long time without box office, concert sponsors, and government grants, and our patron donations have dwindled as a result of our inactivity, we would be so very appreciative of any support you might wish to give us, if you were so inclined. We issue income tax receipts to donors, since we are a non-profit, federally-registered charitable organization. We continue to incur expenses, and it would also really help us with our future ambitious plans. We have already engaged the Rolston String Quartet to return to us on September 24, 2022, and the Gryphon Trio the year after that!
I enjoyed this opportunity to connect with you, and invite you to spread our exciting news to others! We thank you most sincerely for keeping Consortium Aurora Borealis in your hearts and for your faithful support! Stay safe and well, and please know that our music will live on!
Warmest wishes,

Quinn, D. Michael
Joseph Smith's Experience of a Methodist "Camp-meeting" in 1820
Dialogue : A Journal of Mormon Thought
Since 1967, disbelieving critics of Joseph Smith Jr.'s accounts of his "First Vision" of deity have repeated the arguments and evidence given by minister-researcher Wesley P. Walters against the existence of an 1820 "religious excitement" (revival) in or near Palmyra, New York, as affirmed by the Mormon prophet's most detailed narrative. Since 1969, Smith's believing apologists have repeated the rebuttal arguments and evidence given by BYU religion professor Milton V. Backman Jr. in support of such a revival which, Smith declared, led to his vision in 1820. For four decades, both sides have continued to approach this debated topic as if there were no alternative ways to examine the materials Walters and Backman cited, and as if there were no additional sources of significance to consider. The skeptics have been uniformly intransigent, while some apologists have made significant concessions.
This essay maintains that both sides have examined their evidences with tunnel vision, while both have likewise ignored issues and documents crucial to the topic. As an alternative to myopic polarization, this article provides new ways of understanding Joseph's narrative, analyzes previously neglected issues/data, and establishes a basis for perceiving in detail what the teenage boy experienced in the religious revivalism that led to his first theophany. This is conservative revisionism.

Home Read ESA Denies Involvement In Devolver Digital's 100K E3 Loss
ESA Denies Involvement In Devolver Digital's 100K E3 Loss
Joanna Mueller
With massive crowds attending E3, Indie Publisher, Devolver Digital wanted to increase the size of its annual off-site event. However, after renting a lot owned by the City of Los Angeles, the city refused to grant Devolver the necessary permits to utilize their additional space. Devolver Digital co-founder, Mike Wilson claims this was the result of ESA interference to prevent the publisher from having a more visible presence across from the convention center.
In a Polygon article, Wilson is quoted as saying, "E3 does not like us being here. We've always had a long-standing love-hate relationship. But not in a fuck-with-us kinda way, until this year. They just started making trouble for us with the City, saying, 'How dare you rent this space out to these renegades, blah, blah, blah.' Obviously, they have a lot of sway with the city. Phone calls were made and threats. We were being bullied."
When Polygon reached out to the ESA for comment they staunchly insisted that they had nothing to do with the City's decision.
The trouble started after Devolver had already announced they would be using the space to host Indie Picnic. The free event would piggy-back off E3's traffic and feature a massive showcase of indie games. This included a large public access area with food, music, and games.
The city denied them all necessary permits aside from vehicle parking for the additional lot. Instead of expanding, Devolver had to squeeze everything into the private lot they traditionally occupy during E3. Due to the restrictions placed by the City, Devolver couldn't store gear or functional equipment on their rented lot during the event. "They assigned us a special asshole to make sure we did not do one thing," said Wilson.
Devolver Digital is no stranger to antagonizing the ESA. This year's wildly popular satrical E3 conference mocked traditional game industry presentations. Wilson has shared Devolver's plans to host an alternative fan festival next year in Austin. An event he says would "really showcase our indie friends." This could give credence to an unidentified source who told Polygon that Wilson was just seeking publicity with his claims.
Polygon was unable to confirm Wilson's claims with the city's media department. The article did note that it was entirely possible that the city had valid reasons for denying the permits. Reasons that may not have anything to do with the ESA's supposed influence.

From 11 to 18 May 2019, ICS will run Tech Week, a week-long, nationwide festival on everything to do with technology.
We are looking for people to run events for people in their local community, or even at home with their own children, in support of the festival's objectives to increase the level of interest and awareness in technology and STEM subjects. Find out more below.
-	To educate all citizens – of every age group and background – about the challenges and rewards of our fast-changing technological society.
Tech Week is made up of ICS-run (Scratch and Bebras) and community activities taking place across Ireland – in libraries, schools, community centres, and many other locations.
These projects give students a chance to develop their interest in STEM subjects, examine potential career prospects, learn new skills, be creative and, most importantly, have a lot of fun.
The festival is a huge success, with tens of thousands of people participating in activities in previous years.
Activities at home can be run by using one of our Tech Week activity sheets. These contain all kinds of interesting activities and exercises you can complete together.
Our National Scratch Finals will also be running during Tech Week. Scratch is a visual programming language that makes it easy for young people to create their own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art – and share their creations on the web.
We are offering Scratch primary school lesson plans as resources for activities. You can register for these on the Scratch site.
The Bebras® Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking to students from 8 to 18, by allowing them to solve interactive tasks online. This could be used as a fun challenge both in or out of the home. The top scoring students in each category are invited to attend the Bebras National Final which will be held during Tech Week in Maynooth University on Saturday 11 May 2019.
Why not try the Bebras Challenge as to see what it's all about! Visit the Bebras website for more information.
Communities have been highly creative when designing activities, and we encourage you to do the same – as long as it meets the objectives of the festival and encourages young people to actively engage with and learn about technology. We are currently in the middle of a Women in Tech Leadership and Softskills series with AWS for college students and recent graduates and were delighted with the keen uptake.
Register an activity, get some goodies!
What would a festival be without some branded merchandise? If you are one of the first 200 to register your Tech Week activity on our website, you will receive a Tech Week goodie pack.
Celebrate the contribution of IT professionals for the advancement of all society at this free event.
Consisting of a series of talks concerning the impact, influence and needs of IT professionals, as well as the initiatives that help promote IT skills within Europe.
We are delighted to welcome André Richier, Principal Administrator, European Commission, and Barry Lowry, Irish Government CIO along with ICS President Mike Hinchey who will all be speaking on the day. A full agenda will be circulated soon.


The championship is held to mark and to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the UAE National Day. 28 teams representing various public entities and corporations in Abu Dhabi competed in the actions of the championship.
The championship is supervised by Abu Dhabi Sports Council, and is organized by Remaya International Company. The event is held in collaboration with Tawazun Holding Company and Caracal Shooting Club in Abu Dhabi.
12 men and women's teams will compete in the 20-meter range finals, using Caracal 9-ml pistols.

An illustration from "Charlie Takes His Shot, How Charlie Sifford Broke the Color Line in Golf".
Charlie Sifford: golf's first Black professional who paved the way for Tiger Woods
By Ben Morse, CNN
Updated 1229 GMT (2029 HKT) July 2, 2021
(CNN) When Charlie Sifford tried to play with the White golfers, he was told no.
When he politely asked again after participating in events solely for Black players, he was on the receiving end of racist abuse or even death threats.
But Sifford did not give up.
With the backing of California attorney general Stanley Mosk and with fellow trailblazer Jackie Robinson by his side, Sifford became the first Black player to play on the PGA Tour in 1959.
And if you visit the Tiger Woods exhibition at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., you'll see a photo of Sifford.
Tiger Woods with Sifford during a practice round of the World Golf Championship Bridgestone Invitational in 2009.
In breaking through the 'Caucasian only' clause in golf, Sifford helped open the door for other Black golfers, including the most famous Black golfer of all time, Woods.
And it's something Woods recognized, saying in 2015 following Sifford's death that he himself might not have been a professional golfer if it hadn't been for Sifford.
"He's like the Grandpa I never had," Woods said after a practice round in advance of the 2015 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, the day after Sifford's death. "It's been a long night, and I'm sure it will be a long few days. He fought, and what he did, the courage for him to stick with it and be out here and play.


White House Restaurant offering a delicious spread of great Arabian and Malabar special food items is one of the best traveller pit stop in the district at Makkam, on the Calicut-Wayanad Highway, near to Odungakkaad Juma Masjid. Mandhi, Pidi Kozhi Porichathu, Dum Biriyani, Fish Curry Meals are some of the must try cuisines here. Though open from 7 am in the morning till midnight, to enjoy a fulfilling afternoon feast would be the best time to visit this restaurant.
White House Restaurant is a truly a highway hotel at its best. The restaurant handles rush of customers all day long, mostly travellers who stop by to munch on some good food in between their journey. Regular customers at this restaurant are very few.
The classy look of this restaurant is sure to attract your attention. Located 10 kilometres away from Thamarassery town while coming from Calicut, this place is hard to give a miss. A white single-storeyed building in the midst of a humongous, beautifully tiled parking area is indeed very appealing. There are security personnel to assist the customers with parking of their vehicles.Another prominent landmark would be Odungakkaad Juma Masjid which is in close proximity with this restaurant.
'Chicken Mandhi' is the most sought after item from the menu here. The rice with an extra dab of ghee and lingering taste of marinated special chicken masala are what make this dish a welcoming change unlike the usual bland tasting mandhi available elsewhere .'Pidi Kozhi Porichathu' is another finger-licking dish where small full chicken smeared with Kerala spices is dunk fried in oil, giving it a bright golden colour. It tastes as if it was dipped in an egg batter before frying.
White House Restaurant's 'Dum Biriyani' has that authentic Malabar taste to it mesmerizing you all the more with its aroma. Chicken inside the biriyani is well cooked, giving it a soft, juicy texture. The biriyani is served here with pickle, salad and a special sauce. 'Chemmeen Tawa Fry' is a dish with a stark yellow colour. It is made by fryingthe prawns lightly over a tawa that accounts for its special taste while the colour comes from the local masalas used in its preparation.
This restaurant has three main dining areas with comfortable wooden furnishing. Though it offers you a good reception, the size of its air conditioned dining space is too small to accommodate all the customers at times.

Bergen [] ist eine Kommune und Stadt im norwegischen Fylke Vestland. Die Kommune Bergen umfasst neben der eigentlichen Stadt Bergen noch weitere Ortschaften. Die Stadt Bergen ist der Verwaltungssitz der Kommune Bergen sowie des Fylkes Vestland. Politisch wird oft die gesamte Kommune als Stadt bezeichnet und die Kommune wird in Stadtteile eingeteilt.

Mit  Einwohnern (Stand: ) ist Bergen die Kommune mit den zweitmeisten Einwohnern des Landes. Die Stadt Bergen ist mit  Einwohnern (Stand: ) die zweitgrößte städtische Siedlung (Tettsted) des Landes.

Der Hafen von Bergen (UN/LOCODE NO BGO) ist einer der geschäftigsten Seehäfen Europas, von dem aus die Schiffe der Hurtigruten starten. Die Stadt ist Ausgangspunkt der Bergensbane. Im Kulturbereich gibt es das bekannte Theater Den Nationale Scene sowie die Grieghalle.

Geografie

Lage

Die Kommune Bergen liegt an der Westküste Norwegens. Während die Stadt Bergen am inneren Byfjord liegt, erstreckt sich die Kommune Bergen von dort weiter in das Landesinnere. Die Gesamtfläche der Kommune Bergen beträgt  km². Die Fläche der Stadt Bergen wird mit  km² angegeben. Die Stadt wird auch als "Tor zu den Fjorden" bezeichnet.

Die Kommune umfasst den Großteil der Bergenshalvøya. Die Bergenshalvøya wird im Norden vom Sørfjord begrenzt, der auch die Nordgrenze der Kommune darstellt. Weitere Fjorde in der Kommune sind im Westen südlich des Byfjords der Raunefjord und im Nordwesten der Salhusfjord. Auf dem Land grenzt Bergen an Vaksdal und Samnanger im Osten sowie an Bjørnafjorden im Süden. Des Weiteren bestehen im Norden und Westen der Kommune im Meer verlaufende Gemeindegrenzen. Im Südwesten liegt Austevoll, im Westen liegen die Kommunen Øygarden und Askøy und im Norden Alver und Osterøy.

Die Erhebung Gullfjelltoppen auf der Grenze zu Samnanger stellt mit einer Höhe von  den höchsten Punkt der Kommune Bergen dar.

"De Syv Fjell"
Bergen ist in Norwegen auch als Syvfjellsbyen (deutsch "Stadt der sieben Hügel") bekannt. Dieser Beiname soll auf den Dichter Ludvig Holberg, vermutlich in Anlehnung an die Sieben Hügel Roms, zurückgehen. Die eigentliche Anzahl Hügel, welche die Stadt umgeben, ist umstritten, unter anderem da fünf von ihnen (Ulriken, Fløyfjellet, Rundemanen, Blåmanen und Sandviksfjellet) alle Teil desselben Massivs sind. Auch der Storavarden auf der Nachbarinsel Askøy wird gelegentlich zu den sieben Hügeln gezählt.

Auf der jährlichen 7-fjellsturen (7-Hügel-Tour), die von der Ortsgruppe des norwegischen Wandervereins veranstaltet wird, werden seit 1981 die folgenden 7 Hügel, gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, bestiegen:

Lyderhorn (396 m), Damsgårdsfjellet (317 m), Løvstakken (477 m), Ulriken (643 m), Fløyfjellet (400 m), Rundemanen (568 m), Sandviksfjellet (417 m).

Klima
Das gemäßigte Klima dieser Region ist mild und äußerst regenreich. Mit jährlichen Niederschlagsmengen von durchschnittlich 2250 mm pro Quadratmeter gilt Bergen als die Stadt mit den meisten Niederschlägen in Norwegen. Die etwas weiter im Landesinneren gelegenen Kommunen wie Samnanger sind jedoch niederschlagsreicher. Dort kommt es im Gegensatz zum näher an der Küste gelegenen Bergen wegen der höheren Berge zu stärkerem Steigungsregen.

Stadtbild
Die Stadt ist geprägt durch die am Naturhafen Vågen verlaufende Bryggen oder früher Tyske Bryggen (norwegisch für Landungsbrücke/Kai bzw. Deutscher Kai), wobei es sich um alte Handelseinrichtungen der Hanse handelt. Ebenfalls aus dieser Zeit stammen die Marienkirche und weitere Bauten.

Nach mehreren verheerenden Stadtbränden (1702, 1855, 1916), die durch die typisch norwegische Holzbauweise begünstigt wurden, erließ die Stadt Verordnungen, die den Bau von Holzhäusern auf dem Stadtgebiet nicht mehr gestattete. Das Hafenviertel Bryggen, das bei den Stadtbränden mehrmals nicht verschont geblieben war, wurde nach jeder Zerstörung nach originalen Plänen wieder aufgebaut. Das Profil ist daher heute noch dasselbe wie im 12. Jahrhundert. Aus diesem Grund wurde Bryggen als Beispiel hanseatischer Baukunst in Norwegen durch die UNESCO 1979 zum Weltkulturerbe ernannt.

Einwohner

Entwicklung und Struktur
In der Gemeinde liegen mehrere sogenannte Tettsteder, also mehrere Ansiedlungen, die für statistische Zwecke als eine städtische Siedlung gewertet werden. Der größte Tettsted ist die vollständig in der Kommune gelegene Stadt Bergen. Die Einwohnerzahl für den Tettsted Bergen wird mit  angegeben. Ebenfalls vollständig in der Kommune liegen Arna mit , Espeland mit , Flesland mit , Krokeidet mit  und Hordnes mit  Einwohnern (Stand: ). Von der Ortschaft Søvik werden  der insgesamt  Einwohner zur Kommune Bergen gerechnet.

In den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahren ging die Zahl der Einwohner teils zurück. Ab Ende der 1990er-Jahre kam es zu einem größeren Anstieg. Zum Anstieg der Einwohnerzahl kam es dabei vor allem am Stadtrand von Bergen und den umliegenden Kommunen, während das Stadtzentrum nicht mehr weiter anwuchs und teils sogar rückläufige Einwohnerzahlen zu verzeichnen hatte. Zum größten Anstieg der Einwohnerzahlen im Großraum Bergen kam es in den Nachbarkommunen Askøy, Bjørnafjorden und Øygarden.

Die Einwohner Bergens werden Bergensar oder Bergenser genannt. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Kommunen der Provinz Vestland hat Bergen weder Nynorsk noch Bokmål als offizielle Sprachform, sondern ist in dieser Frage neutral.

Stadtteile
Im Jahr 1974 wurde die Kommune in Stadtteile unterteilt, deren Lokalparlamente und Verwaltungen mit der Zeit mehr Zuständigkeiten erhielten. Seit einer Reform der Stadtteile im Jahr 2000 hat Bergen acht Stadtteile. Da es sich bei den Stadtteilen um eine politische Einteilung handelt, wird die gesamte Kommune und nicht nur das Stadtgebiet in Stadtteile untergliedert.

Geschichte

Stadtgeschichte
Auf eisenzeitliche Spuren weist der östlich gelegene Bautastein von Augastad.

Nach Angaben in den Königssagas wurde Bergen 1070 als Bjørgvin ("Bergwiese") von König Olav Kyrre gegründet. Ab dem 12. Jahrhundert war es norwegische Krönungsstadt; später wurde es in dieser Funktion von Trondheim abgelöst.

1360 eröffnete in Bergen ein Hansekontor "Tyske Bryggen". Bergen wird zwar oft als "Hansestadt" bezeichnet, war jedoch nicht gleichberechtigte Mitgliedsstadt, da es Städten, in denen Hansekontore lagen, verboten war, Hansestadt zu werden. Im Jahr 1665, während des Zweiten Englisch-Niederländischen Krieges, überfielen englische Kriegsschiffe eine niederländische Handelsflotte im Hafen von Bergen. Die Schlacht in der Bucht von Bergen endete mit einer Niederlage der Engländer. Dazu trug auch die Unterstützung der dänischen Festungsbesatzungen für die Niederländer mit bei.

Bis 1880 war Bergen wichtigster Hafen und größte Stadt Norwegens. Am 16. Januar 1916 wurde ein großer Teil der noch aus vielen Holzhäusern bestehenden Stadt von einem Großbrand vernichtet.

Im 19. Jahrhundert war die Lepra in Norwegen stark verbreitet und Bergen eines der Seuchenzentren. Zwischen 1850 und 1900 gab es in der Stadt drei Lepra-Krankenhäuser und die größte Dichte an Infizierten in ganz Europa. 1873 entdeckte der norwegische Arzt Gerhard Armauer Hansen in Bergen den Erreger Mycobacterium leprae. Das älteste Lepra-Spital, das im 15. Jahrhundert eröffnete St.-Jørgens-Hospital behandelte bis in die 1940er Jahre Leprakranke und beherbergt heute das Lepramuseum Bergen und das Lepra-Archiv, das zum UNESCO Memory-of-the-World-Programm gehört.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Bergen schon am ersten Tag der deutschen Invasion, am 9. April 1940, von deutschen Truppen besetzt. Die Stadt wurde später durch alliiertes Bombardement beschädigt. Die deutsche Luftwaffe baute zur Verteidigung der Stadt und des U-Boot-Hafens die nahe gelegene Insel Herdla und die Festung Fjell festning aus. Am 20. April 1944 forderte die Explosion auf dem deutschen Munitionstransporter "Voorbode", der am Kai vor der Festung Bergenhus lag, 150 Menschenleben und führte zu starken Schäden an hunderten von Gebäuden.

Kommune Bergen
Durch das Anwachsen der Stadt Bergen bedingt, wurde die Kommune Bergen mit der Zeit mehrfach ausgeweitet. Zum 1. Januar 1877 wurde die Kommune Bergen landdistrikt mit zu diesem Zeitpunkt 4883 Einwohnern in die Kommune Bergen eingegliedert. Bergen hatte vor der Zusammenlegung 34.388 Einwohner. Während Bergen im gleichnamigen Fylke lag und damit eine eigene Provinz bildete, wurde der Bergen landdistrikt aus dem Fylke Hordaland an das Fylke Bergen überführt. Die Kommune Årstad mit zuletzt 7463 Einwohnern wurde zum 1. Juli 1915 Teil von Bergen, das zu diesem Zeitpunkt 76.867 Einwohner zählte. Auch Årstad ging vom Fylke Hordaland an Bergen über. Sechs Jahre später wurde ein von 1734 Personen bewohntes Gebiet der Kommune Laksevåg in Bergen eingegliedert. Im August 1955 wurde ein Areal mit 1590 Einwohnern von Fana an Bergen überführt.

Der Tettsted Bergen reichte auch nach diesen Eingemeindungen weiter über die Grenzen der Kommune hinaus. Im Jahr 1970 lag die Zahl der Einwohner des Tettsteds etwa bereits bei 182.265, während die Kommune Bergen nur 113.351 Einwohner hatte. Zu einer größeren Zusammenlegung kam es zu Beginn des Jahres 1972. Eingegliedert wurden Laksevåg mit 24.872, Fana mit 44.402, Arna mit 11.766 und Åsane mit 19.205 Einwohnern. Zugleich wurde das bis dahin bestehende Fylke Bergen aufgelöst. Bergen ging im Zuge dessen im Fylke Hordaland auf. Die Stadt wurde der Verwaltungssitz von Hordaland. Das Fylke Hordaland ging im Rahmen der landesweiten Regionalreform zum 1. Januar 2020 im neu gebildeten Fylke Vestland auf. Auch dort wurde Bergen wieder Verwaltungssitz, der Sitz des Statsforvalters ging jedoch an Hermansverk.

Politik
Die Stadtversammlung (bystyre) von Bergen besteht aus 67 gewählten Stadtverordneten. Neun von ihnen sind besoldete Vollzeitpolitiker: Bürgermeister (ordfører), sein Stellvertreter (varaordfører) und sieben Vorsitzende der kommunalen Ausschüsse (komité). Im Jahr 2000 wurde das Proporzsystem durch das parlamentarische Mehrheitsprinzip ersetzt: Die politische Mehrheit in der Stadtversammlung wählt den Bürgermeister und die Stadtregierung (byråd), bestehend aus dem Vorsitzenden der Stadtregierung (byrådsleder) und bis zu sechs weiteren Mitgliedern (byråd).

Von 1971 bis 2015 ergaben die Kommunalwahlen stets Mehrheiten für die Mitte-Rechts-Parteien, ausgenommen 1991. Seit 2015 regiert ein Mitte-Links-Stadtrat aus Arbeiterpartei, KrF und Venstre, zu dem seit 2019 auch die MDG zählt.

Bergen besitzt zwei Rathäuser. Im Alten Rathaus aus dem 16. Jahrhundert tagt bis heute die Stadtversammlung.

Kommunalwahl
Die letzte Kommunalwahl fand am 9. September 2019 statt:

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Wirtschaft

Wirtschaftlich gesehen wird Bergen stark durch die norwegische Erdölförderung beeinflusst. Durch die günstige geografische Lage auf Höhe der norwegischen Erdölfelder (Troll A u. a.) befinden sich mehrere Versorgungseinrichtungen im Stadtbereich, zu diesen zählen u. a. Trainingszentren für Hubschrauberpiloten.

Ein weiterer Wirtschaftsfaktor ist der ausgedehnte Seehafen und die damit verbundene Werft- und Fischindustrie (Aquakulturen). Andere Wirtschaftszweige sind Maschinenbau, Stahlerzeugung, Textil- und elektrotechnische Industrie.

 Hochschule Bergen
 Grieg-Akademie: Musikhochschule

In Bergen befindet sich mit der 1737 gegründeten Christi Krybbe skoler die älteste noch bestehende Grundschule Norwegens.

Verkehr

Mit der norwegischen Hauptstadt Oslo ist Bergen auf dem Schienenweg über die Bergensbanen verbunden, die als eine der schönsten Eisenbahnstrecken Europas gilt und am Bahnhof Bergen endet. Auf dem Straßenweg gibt es die E 16, die keine Fähren, aber einige sehr lange Tunnel aufweist, und die Reichsstraße 7, die das Hardangervidda überquert.

Part of me can't shake the feeling that Kate was supposed to jump off the roof.
Life is Strange, an episodic, choose-your-own-adventure with more talking than killing, is a coming-of-age story, and here's the obligatory spoiler warning: Major plot points follow. Such stories tend to be as much about failure as anything else, forcing players to recognize and accept the impassable gap between their choices and the unintended consequences of them.
About that roof. Kate, so despondent over the bullying and harassment she experiences after an embarrassing moment, is poised to jump from the roof of her private school unless our hero, a senior named Max, can talk her down. When I play this game with my wife, we get Max to do just that, and the episode ends with tears and quiet hope. I'm relieved, but it feels wrong. Like we broke something. Not because Kate's death would have been more dramatic, a bit of tragedy on the way to Max's self-actualization, but because it felt a little too neat. We acted with the best intentions, and experienced the best outcome. No surprises; no friction.
What kind of growing up is that?
Life is Strange grants do-overs. Early on in your journey with Max Caulfield, a mild-mannered teen who has returned to Arcadia Bay, Oregon1, to study photography at the exclusive Blackwell Academy, you (and she) discover she has a gift. Max can rewind time, the world blurring as she moves back in time, memories intact and free to change whatever just happened.
On Max's first day at Blackwell, a girl named Chloe is shot. Max rewinds time to save her. And then everything goes sideways.
How do you learn to make the right choice (or at least the best choice) in a world where you can have unlimited do-overs? That's the dilemma Life is Strange grapples with during its five episodes. It's easy for players and Max alike to do anything and everything, engaging in complex social engineering experiments, spying and snooping and manipulating—just the sort of stuff you'd do if you were a teenager who could control time.
It also provides an opportunity to play the hero. Max can act confidently and decisively, knowing exactly what the consequences of her actions are because she's already experienced them. If she could protect Chloe, maybe she can protect everyone else.
During the week in which Life is Strange takes place, Max engineers the hell out of her life: She explores alternate timelines, tries on different personas, and attempts to save Arcadia Bay from the evils that plague it. Life is Strange is largely interested in the quotidian, small-scale effects of time-shifting and how Max experiences them with others, particularly as she grows closer to Chloe.
Chloe is Max's confidante, the only person aware of newfound talent. Together they try to solve the mystery of Chloe's missing friend/lover Rachel Amber. Rachel's disappearance unravels half the town, exposing high school drug rings, abuse, and a host of other made-for-TV problems.
The mystery plotline is a bit cheesy, but the game's loving focus on its heroines keeps it from overwhelming the a story that is emotive and sweet. The mysteries and hidden horrors of Arcadia Bay owe a clear debt to Twin Peaks, but it's more like an especially ambitious episode of Friday Night Lights in terms of composition, sound design, and general tone. It's a heartfelt teen drama inside a paranormal thriller, a distinction that is the source of occasional tonal friction and the game's most resonant moments.
Moments like Kate. Kate Marsh is a sweet, quiet girl, zealously religious but with a wellspring of kindness that softens the harsh edge of her beliefs. By the time the player meets her, she's had enough. Someone drugged her at a party, and there's a video of her in a compromising position. She endures extreme harassment, and the second episode finds her on the roof, ready to jump.
This is a pivotal moment in the game, because it's the only one you can't undo. In an incredible feat of dexterity, Max stops time entirely so she might reach her friend on the roof. As a result, she's drained her powers. They're useless. She's got just once chance to save Kate.
I told you my wife and I succeeded in saving Kate's life. What I didn't tell you is the first time we played, we failed. Kate jumped.
Life is Strange was a unique experience because, as someone who's played a lot of games, I rarely take mulligans. I enjoy the journey, and the discovery. Mistakes are part of that. Things go wrong, failure is part of the experience. So long as I'm still engaged, all the better.
My wife takes a difference approach. She's a social worker, so stories like Kate's are nothing new. She often is as uncertain of outcomes as Max surely is when talking to Kate. She can't always know if she made the right choice. Games allow her to see the consequences and try again. So even as I was soaking in the cutting sadness of Kate's death, my wife reset the PlayStation 4. She couldn't let Kate die. So we tried again, and saved her.
When Max couldn't manage a do-over, we supplied one for her.
Life is Strange exists in this fascinating, contradictory place. For Max, the story is in many ways a journey to understand that there isn't always one right choice. Sometimes her abilities fail her, and sometimes failure can't be undone. For the player, though, it's a game-length exploration of how choice works in this type of game system, and why we make the choices we do. One irreversible choice revealed more about why my wife and I were playing than anything else could have.
In the final episode, players learn Max's abilities has wreaked havoc. An impossible storm is approaching Arcadia Bay, and Max can't change it. She's thrown the world out of order, and it's fighting back.
Standing by the lighthouse at Arcadia Bay, watching the storm roll in, Max and Chloe realize what they must do. Max can prevent the coming destruction, but must first undo everything she's done until then. She must return to the moment when she first used her power—the moment she saved Chloe—and let it pass without interference. To save the town, she must let Chloe die.
No matter the choice you make here, Max fails. She must sacrifice the town, or the person she loves. Life is Strange is the story of a beautiful failure.
Any choice Max makes threatens to nullify everything she's done until now. As a player, I can replay episodes and cherish the freedom the game affords me, even if the ending was bittersweet at best. Max doesn't have that luxury. No matter what she does, she loses.
I can't fix that. And maybe that's why, even though it still feels like the wrong choice to me, I don't regret reloading to save Kate. I've already had my coming of age story, and I know I can't save everyone. Instead, I can accept that Max's journey isn't mine, and I can find solace in that. There are small, safe places in games where you can reject ugly, unintended consequences. Where you actually can play the hero. I think Max would appreciate the help.
