Santiago de Compostela (also Saint James of Compostela) is the capital of the autonomous community of Galicia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the northwest region of Spain in the Province of A Coruña, it was the “European City of Culture” for the year 2000. The city’s Cathedral is the destination today, as it has been throughout history, of the important 9th century medieval pilgrimage route, the Way of St. James (Galician: Camiño de Santiago, Spanish: Camino de Santiago).

Name

One etymology for the name “Compostela” is that it comes from the Latin phrase campus stellae, i.e. “field of the star”, making Santiago de Compostela “St. James of the Field of the Star”. This would reflect the belief that the bones of St. James were taken from the Middle East, to Spain and then buried where a shepherd had spotted a star. A church was eventually built over the bones, and later replaced with the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela.

Other etymologies derive from the Latin word Compositum, i.e. “The well founded”, or Composita Tella, meaning “burial ground”. Yet another etymology derives it from “San Jacome Apostol”.

Transportation

Santiago de Compostela is served by an airport and rail service. There are also plans to provide access to Santigo de Compostela by the Spanish High Speed Railway Network, a project under construction.

The city

Santiago’s old Town UNESCO World Heritage Site

The cathedral borders the main plaza of the old and well-preserved city. Across the square is the Pazo de Raxoi (Raxoi’s Palace), the town hall and seat of the Galician Xunta, and on the right from the cathedral steps is the Hostal dos Reis Católicos, founded in 1492 by the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella of Castille and Ferdinand of Aragon, as a pilgrim’s hospice (now a parador). The Obradoiro façade of the cathedral, the best known, is depicted on the Spanish euro coins of 1 cent, 2 cents, and 5 cents (€0.01, €0.02, and €0.05).

Santiago is the site of the University of Santiago de Compostela, established in the early 16th century. The main campus can be seen best from an alcove in the large municipal park in the centre of the city.

Within the old town there are many narrow winding streets full of historic buildings. The new town all around it has less character though some of the older parts of the new town have some big apartments in them.

Santiago de Compostela has a substantial nightlife. Divided between the new town (la zona nueva) and the old town (la zona vieja), one can often find a mix of middle-aged residents and younger students running throughout the city until the early hours of the morning. Radiating from the center of the city, the historic cathedral is surrounded by paved granite streets, tucked away in the old town, and separated from the newer part of the city by the largest of many parks throughout the city, Parque Alameda. Whether in the old town or the new town, party-goers will often find themselves following their tapas by dancing the night away.

Santiago gives its name to one of the four military orders of Spain: Santiago, Calatrava, Alcantara and Montesa.

The prevailing wind from the Atlantic and the surrounding mountains combine to give Santiago some of Europe’s highest rainfall: about 1,900 mm (75 inches) annually.

History

Santiago de Compostela was originally founded by the Suebi people at the end of the 4th century or the beginning of the 5th century just after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Then, in 584 the whole settlement together with the rest of Galicia and northern Portugal was incorporated by Leovigild into the Visigothic kingdom of Spain. Raided from 711 to 739 by the Arabs, Santiago de Compostela was finally recaptured by the Visigothic king of Asturias in 754, about 60 years before the discovery of the remains of Saint James the Great. So, from the 9th century onwards, with the recognition of the Pope and Charlemagne, during the reign of Alfonso II of Asturias, this settlement was not just a city, but a holy city, and one of the main centers of Christian pilgrimage, rivaled only by Rome itself and the Holy Land. Still, there are some who claim that the remains found here were not those of the apostle James but those of Priscillian. They are also thought by many to be someone else altogether.

History of the Way of St. James Pilgrimage

Way of St. James.

St. James' shell


St. James’ shell

The legend that St James found his way to the Iberian peninsula, and had preached there is one of a number of early traditions concerning the missionary activities and final resting places of the apostles of Jesus. Although the 1884 Bull of Pope Leo XIII Omnipotens Deus accepted the authenticity of the relics at Compostela, the Vatican remains uncommitted as to whether the relics are those of Saint James the Great, while continuing to promote the more general benefits of pilgrimage to the site.

According to a tradition that cannot be traced before the 12th century, the relics were said to have been discovered in 814 by Theodomir, bishop of Iria Flavia in the far northwest of the principality of Asturias. Theodomir was guided to the spot by a star, the legend affirmed, drawing upon a familiar myth-element, hence “Compostela” was given an etymology as a corruption of Campus Stellae, “Plain of Stars.”

The establishment of the shrine

As suggested already, it is probably impossible to know whose bones were actually found, and precisely when and how. Perhaps it does not matter. What the history of the pilgrimage requires, but what the meagre sources fail to reveal, is how the local Galician cult associated with the saint was transformed into an international cult drawing pilgrims from distant parts of the world.

The 1000 year old pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is known in English as the Way of St. James and in Galician as the Camiño de Santiago. Over 100,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from points all over Europe, and other parts of the world. The pilgrimage has been the subject of many books and television programmes notably Brian Sewell’s The Naked Pilgrim produced for UK’s Five.

Pre-Christian legends

As the lowest-lying land on that stretch of coast, the city’s site took on added significance. Legends supposed of Celtic origin made it the place where the souls of the dead gathered to follow the Sun across the sea. Those unworthy of going to the Land of the Dead haunted Galicia as the Santa Compaña.

Saunders, Tracy, Pilgrimage to Heresy: Don´t Believe Everything They Tell You (iUniverse 2007), for a somewhat different slant on the occupant of the tomb in Compostela. Though a fictionalised history, it looks at what we know of Bishop Priscillian of Avila, arrested on charges of “heresy and witchcraft” along with eight of his followers, including a noblewoman, Euchrotia, and subsequently decapitated in 385 CE by the Romans with the full knowledge of the newly formed Catholic Church, and whose remains have been suggested (by Prof. Henry Chadwick and others)may be entombed in the sepulchre which is said to contain the remains of St. James.

The Bay of Puck or Puck Bay (Polish: Zatoka Pucka; Kashubian: Pùckô Hôwiga), historically also known as the Bay of Putzig (German: Putziger Wiek), is a shallow western branch of the Bay of Gda?sk in the southern Baltic Sea, off the shores of Gda?sk Pomerania, Poland. It is separated from the open sea by the Hel Peninsula.

The bay has an average depth of 2-6 metres. There is a shallow sand-bank from Rewa Cape to Ku?nica in the middle of Hel Peninsula. The bay is available only for small fishing boats and yachts, which have to stick to the strict deeper routes. There are deposits of potassium salt below the Bay of Puck.

The main ports are Puck, Jastarnia, and Hel.

BonziBUDDY, sometimes spelled Bonzi Buddy, BonziBuddy, or BONZIBuddy, (misspelled Bonzai Buddy) was an on-screen “intelligent software agent” from BONZI Software, released in 1999 and discontinued in 2005. The official website stated it would help a person explore the Internet through various functions along with their own sidekick. It first surfaced as a green talking parrot, before taking the form of an animated purple gorilla that resided on a user’s desktop and communicated through the employment of Microsoft Agent technology.

BonziBuddy received wide recognition as malware, predominantly as a piece of adware, though claims of spyware capabilities have been made against it.

Overview

The software used Microsoft Agent technology similar to Office Assistant, and originally sported Peedy, a green parrot character, before it became the purple ape. The software “interacts with users while they are online, providing shopping advice, jokes, and trivia.”

At one point, the official website for the application said this about it:

Criticism

In April 2007, PCWorld readers voted Bonzi Buddy 6th on a list of “the top 10 most annoying tech products”. One reader is quoted as criticizing the program because it “kept popping up and obscuring things you needed to see.”

One of the last newspapers to write about BonziBUDDY while it was still in distribution described it as spyware and a “scourge of the Internet”. Another article found in 2006 on the BusinessWeek website described BonziBUDDY as “the unbelievably annoying spyware trojan horse”.

Regardless of whether a given user installed the program or not, the intensive use of Pop-up advertisements by BONZI Software was in itself a nuisance.

Adware or spyware

A number of sources identify BonziBUDDY as spyware, a claim the company disputes. In 2002 an article in Consumer Reports Web Watch labelled BonziBUDDY as spyware, stating that it is a Backdoor Santa in that it collects information from users. Among the activities the program is said to engage in include constantly resetting the user’s web browser homepage to bonzi.com without the user’s permission, prompting and tracking various information about the user, and serving advertisements.

The Spyware Removal Database at Safer Networking (makers of Spybot - Search & Destroy) states “BonziBuddy is an Internet Explorer toolbar that may change your web browser settings, change your home page, and launch pop-up advertisements while tracking your web browsing habits.”

Spyware Guide’s entry on the program states that it is adware.

Anti-virus company Trend Micro classifies the software as adware in their spyware/grayware listings, and terrible malware.

Legal

There were two legal cases about the software.

  • Internetnews.com reported the settlement of a class action suit on May 27, 2003. Originally brought against Bonzi Software on December 4, 2002, the suit accused Bonzi of using its banner advertisements of deceptively imitating Windows computer alerts, alerting the user that their IP Address is being broadcast. In the settlement, Bonzi agreed to modify their ads so that they looked less like a Windows dialogue box and to make them appear more like advertisements.
  • On February 18, 2004, the Federal Trade Commission released a statement indicating that Bonzi Software, Inc. was ordered to pay $75,000 in fees, among other aspects, for violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act by collecting personal information from children under the age of 13 with BonziBUDDY.

The Big Bang a.k.a. Le Big-Bang is an animated science fiction fantasy film, originally released in 1987. It was given an X-rating. The double-entendre of the title is intentional. Dealing with the scenario of a Third World War, this cartoon film is more like Barbarella than When the Wind Blows .

Plot

In 1995, Italy annihilates Libya, which destroys Israel. Africa bombs Germany, which in turn attacks France. Luxembourg conquers England. Sweden, Monte Carlo and Switzerland immolate themselves. The Russians decide to liquidate the Americans, who unleash their nuclear fleet, leaving only two continents on the verge of World War IV. In the north, a mutated strain of males in America and Russia merge, forming the USSSR, in the south. All that is left of womankind retreat to their territory of Vaginia. Both factions are deficient in the standard number of limbs and sexual characteristics: the men, who have had their behinds blown off, are gay Hitler clones, and the women have become multibreasted, ballerina warriors. The two armies are soon at odds with each other. The men perfect their most destructive weapon yet and call it the ‘Big Piece’, while the women build ‘Big Mama’, a superbomb capable of destroying the solar system. The Council of the Universe, fearing for everyone’s safety, appoints our hero, Fred, a simple garbageman of the sky as “Mister Good Offices” to diplomatically calm the situation down. Fred meets with the Commander in Chief of the USSSR and promptly falls in love with his young mistress, Liberty, whom he abducts to Vaginia. He meets the “Big Supreme” of the Vaginians, Una, who listens distractedly to Fred’s arguments for peace, offering him a more intimate and immediate approach. Fred is unable to withstand her advances. With no hope for peace and mad with rage at the idea of being separated from Liberty, he releases the Fourth World War. Liberty is taken on board the penile ‘Big Piece’ which starts to rise as Fred hurries to her rescue. He manages to get on board and escape with her to the safety of a tropical island. While the two armies fraternize, the two appropriately shaped superbombs collide and explode in a cosmic orgasm. Despite the general devastation, planetary collisions and so on, due to the divine intervention by a taken-aback God, Fred and Liberty miraculously survive.
