Subject: Internet usage survey
I am Carole Rodon, French citizen and Phd. in social psychology. Currently I am driving a research study about Internet usages. My issue is about reaching both native English speakers participants AND intermediate to proficient level English speakers one’s whatever their nationality or location. Regarding my current location it is not that easy. At the moment, I am expatriate in China (Shanghai and Macau) so my network concerns more the Chinese people!
If you wish to help me with my research study by answering my on-line questionnaire goto the following link:

Subject: Help with speaking English.
I'm a norwegian male, just turned 50, human geographer and senior adviser in the Norwegian Ministry of the Environment, Department for Regional Planning. I'm also a member of two european committees (connected to Interreg and The Council of Europe, respectively). This gives me several travels abroad each year - to meetings and conferences. But I also belong to the generation of norwegians that not have studied or worked abroad. As an academic, this means that I listen to and read english almost fluently - but I have a large passive vocabulary, not active, and I don't speak the language fluently. This is awkward in meeting, where I will have to search for words, and I do obviously nead training of everyday english to make me speak a little more fluently, to have the right words and find them - fast, when needed.
A colleague of mine proposed to contact an embassy of one of the major english speaking countries and ask if there were possibilities of taking part in social activities with citizens of the actual country, living in Oslo, thereby getting the wanted language training. This will be a two-way contribution, those involved could have the same personal interests, and I do also have good knowledge of norwegian, both language and society. This spring I met one of the staff of the canadian embassy, and got the references to the two networks which are contacted here.
My interests are society, politics, history and geography, music (classical, rock, some jazz), litterature, movies, maps, flags, stamps (political-historical), walking (urban, nature, not skiing!), swimming, travelling. I have been part of a quiz-team, for some years a supporting contact and part of boards in various organizations. I have for 15 years had a relationship which is now dissolved. This means that I have no children, and lot of possible spare time - for the time being meaning tuesday afternoons, friday afternoons and most weekends.
If this kind of two-way activities between english-speaking persons and norwegians both living in Oslo is possible, I would be very interested.
Kind regards, Erik Sveistrup (Erik(dot)Sveistrup(at)getmail(dot)no)

Subject: Hockey coach required
Hello Canadians,
My name is Bent Simonsen and I live in Baerum. I am a father of a 15 year old boy and coach/ motivator for Jutul U17 Hockey team (boys/girls under 18 year). I have been away for 2 years now and came back to find that the team have some problems regarding trainers in hockey. http://www.jutul.net/site/ishockey.
I just wonder if there is anyone that want to help me train and teach this team some skills for the coming season 2011/2012.
So I wanted to contact the heart of Hockey (Canada) and see if there is some Canadians working or living in Norway that want to help out an outsider team as an “after work” thing.
We cannot offer a big salary but we can manage to cover expenses related to the “job”
I have been in India for 2 years now and through my son we have met and know some Canadians. And that has been a very nice experience for us. So based on my experience as an expatriate and that need of having something “of base” to do, I am contacting you.
Jutul is located in Baerum at Hauger about 15 km from central Oslo on the rout to Bergen it take about 20 min to go car and easy access from main roads.
What am I looking for, a coach that knows Hockey, likes to work with youth, have the time to run practices 2 – 3 days a week in the evening time and some matches. Someone who wants to meet Norwegians outside a work environment, and likes to build a team.
We are also open for new players to come. We are not looking to be the best because we are club that does not have the resources to be up in the top. We want to offer all youth a place to come an play hockey. So we have this open door policy. But to play you have to practice.
There will not be any administrative work at all only to come and lead the practice or any other form of responsibility
What we can give is 100% motivated boy and girls and 100% supportive parents that will do all to help out and make this a nice experience.
If anyone is interested please contact me on this e-mail address and I will answer any questions - bs(at)norwegiansecurity(dot)no.
Best Regards
Bent Simonsen
