Aske (EP)
''Aske'' (Norwegian for ''Ashes'') is an EP by Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum. Though recorded in April and August 1992, after ''Det som engang var'', it was released before that album in March 1993, through Deathlike Silence Productions. Background The cover is a photograph of the Fantoft Stave Church after its arson on 6 June 1992. Varg Vikernes was strongly suspected of burning the church, and the photograph is widely believed to have been taken by Vikernes himself. According to the official Burzum website, the cover photograph was taken by Are Mundal. In an interview, Mundal stated that Vikernes, a longtime friend, asked him to visit the site of the church shortly after the fire and take photographs, of which one became the album cover. Mundal was initially regarded as a suspect in the arson, but was cleared of all charges. Vikernes allegedly had the photos developed in Sweden in order to fend off suspicion.

Association For Skeptical Enquiry
The Association for Skeptical Enquiry (ASKE) is a skeptical organisation in the United Kingdom. History ASKE was founded in 1997 by a steering committee of several people, including Anne Corden, Michael Heap, Marky O’Leary, Wayne Spencer, Tony Youens and Mark Gould. Among its founding members were psychologists, scientists, academics and civil servants. The purpose was to establish a national skeptical organisation in the UK that people could join and which promoted the aims of scientific skepticism by communicating with the media, advising the public on issues such as unorthodox medicine, paranormal claims and other "wild and unsubstantiated allegations", distributing newsletters and other publications, holding public meetings, and so on. Once established, ASKE published a regular magazine, the ''Skeptical Intelligencer'', initially edited by Wayne Spencer. The ''Skeptical Intelligencer'' now incorporates ASKE's newsletter the ''Skeptical Adversaria'', and appears quarterl ...

Fighting Socialist Party Of Greece
The Fighting Socialist Party of Greece ( el, Αγωνιστικό Σοσιαλιστικό Κόμμα Ελλάδας, translit=Agonistikó Sosialistikó Kómma Elládas, Α.Σ.Κ.Ε.), (ASKE), is a left-wing Greek political party founded in February 1984. The main core of its founding cadres consisted of members of the organisation committee of PASOK, who immediately after the Greek parliamentary elections in 1981, after which PASOK came to power, protested against it for the violation of its founding proclamations and resigned from their party posts. This opposition was expressed with Nikos Kargopoulos's opposite proposal to the PASOK Central Committee in the summer of 1983 and led to their expulsion from PASOK. Along with other elements who came from the broader left-wing and progressive movement, they founded the Social Movement, which finally became ASKE in February 1984. Its fundamental views are the struggle for independence from foreign (non-Greek) power blocs, such as th ...
