Voditelji Nemčije, Francije in Velike Britanije bodo popoldne gostili video konferenco zaveznic Ukrajine v sklopu tako imenovane koalicije voljnih. V ospredju bo po pričakovanjih razprava o varnostnih jamstvih za Ukrajino v primeru mirovnega dogovora z Rusijo. Nemški kancler Friedrich Merz meni, da je ameriška pripravljenost sodelovati v takšnih zagotovilih dobra novica, saj tako Evropa ne bo sama v tem. Poudaril je, da moramo Evropejci opraviti svoj del. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Ob vnovičnem nasilju na srbskih protestih sinoči najhuje v Valjevu - Od Združitve prekmurskih Slovencev z matičnim narodom mineva 106 let - Nov poraz članske košarkarske reprezentance, tista do 16 let se kiti z evropskim bronom

This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Alex, welcome to the show.  Alex Øbell Nielsen: Thank you. Good to be on the show.  Allen Hall: You've been in wind about 20 years, and, uh, when we had talked a couple of weeks ago now, uh, you were highlighting some of the challenges that exist in wind energy, especially on the training side. What are those challenges? What do you see as, uh, Danish Wind Power Academy as challenges out in the world  Alex Øbell Nielsen: from a training provider perspective? Uh, of course, uh, the. The, the great demand for technicians, not only now, but also in the future, and not having a formal training, if you like, for wind turbine technicians. Um, we see that as a challenge. Uh, but of course it's also an opportunity for us as a training provider. [00:01:00] Um, but, um, I mean, as you mentioned, Danish Wind Power Academy has delivered training for more than 20 years. Uh, we do so globally, um, headquartered in Denmark, but, um. Before I, you know, deep dive into all our, our trainings, uh, as an example, we deliver troubleshooting training. Uh, a lot of customers are asking for that, but we quickly learned that many of the participants didn't have the skillset to enter or join a troubleshooting training. So what we begun doing two and a half years ago is to assess, uh, technicians before they actually go on one of our trainings to make sure that they have the right skillset. From that, then we've learned, uh, assessing more than I think 1500, maybe two, uh, yeah, more than 1500 technicians. Now that we see two or or more challenges. One is hydraulics. They always score low on hydraulics and the others and controls where they also score low. So those are some of the challenges we see and we do [00:02:00] these assessments globally  Joel Saxum: and I think that's an important point there globally, right? Because Danish Wind Power Academy of course, like when you think wind, you think the Danes, right? The Danes know what they're doing, right? Uh, we're, we're over here on uh, wind sites in the US all the time and they're like, yeah, some Danish guy was here last week fixing this. Like that happens all the time. But I, I, I wanna focus on that a little bit, saying like, we talk about, okay. The, the, the, the podcast here, of course, we're based in the states. You can hear it by our voices, but we cover things globally, right? So we cover from the eu what's going on offshore, onshore, India, Australia, apac, down in Brazil, Mexico, you name it. We're, we're covering it. We're talking to people. The, the tech, the global technician problem in wind. Is not localized. It is everywhere. It doesn't matter what locale you're in, where there's wind turbines, there is a shortage of qualified, trained, and good people. And I think, um, kudos to you guys for, you know, exporting your knowledge around the world. But that's something to focus on here, is that this [00:03:00] is a global issue and you guys are working to solve that. Alex Øbell Nielsen: We try to at least, but, but as you said, it is global and we have done these assessments, uh, globally in 2024.

Veljati so začele ameriške carine, eden od osrednjih in najbolj kontroverznih projektov vlade v Washingtonu. Obdavčitev skoraj vsega uvoza v največje svetovno gospodarstvo predstavlja hud pretres, ki bo po napovedih analitikov imel obsežne in daljnoročne posledice po svetu. Ameriški predsednik Donald Trump medtem na svoj seznam uvršča vedno nove izdelke in države, kar še poglablja negotovost. Druge teme: - Srečanje Putina in Trumpa potrdila tudi Moskva; bo zraven še Zelenski? - Deviško oljčno olje pri nas razmeroma dobre kakovosti, kaže analiza. - Luka Dončić si od evropskega prvenstva obeta novo medaljo.

Ali ste vedeli, da so največja glasbena dela skladatelja Gustava Mahlerja nastala ob Vrbskem jezeru, v kraju Majrobnik na avstrijskem Koroškem? Tam je sloviti avstrijski skladatelj čeških korenin ustvaril peto, šesto, sedmo in osmo simfonijo. Osma predstavlja eno najobsežnejših vokalno-instrumentalnih del v klasičnem svetu glasbe. In ta glasba se je rojevala v mali hišici sredi gozdne jase na vzpetini, približno 15 minut peš od obale jezera in parkirišča. Danes je hišica preurejena v muzej, ki je odprt od maja do oktobra od četrtka do nedelje.

Še na začetku 20. stoletja naj bi imela centralno banko le ena tretjina svetovnih držav. Danes si države brez institucije, ki bi imela monopol nad tiskanjem denarja, na take in drugačne načine uravnavala količino denarja v obtoku ter, kot bomo videli, počela še marsikaj drugega, verjetno sploh ne moremo predstavljati. Čeprav so centralne banke danes nepogrešljiva institucija vsake države, špekulacije okrog njihove vloge pa so tudi nadvse priljubljena tema v teorijah zarot, pa v resnici le malo vemo o tem, kaj vse dejansko počnejo, kako se je njihova vloga skozi preteklost spreminjala in kako se utegne preoblikovati v današnjem času, ko smo priča velikim ekonomskim in geopolitičnim spremembam, ki so skozi vso zgodovine vplivale tudi na delovanje teh institucij. Prav teh vprašanj se bomo lotili v tokratni Intelekti, in sicer s pomočjo dr. ekonomskih znanosti in dr. znanosti s področja zgodovine Nevena Boraka, dr. ekonomske zgodovine Jureta Stojana z Inštituta za strateške rešitve ter ekonomista dr. Urbana Sušnika z NLB Lease&Go. Gre za ponovitev oddaje Intelekta, ki je bila premierno na sporedu Prvega maja 2024.

Danes minevata dve leti od najhujših poplav v zgodovini Slovenije. V tem obdobju je bilo narejenega že veliko, a uničene ceste, porušeni domovi in zahtevna obnova še vedno zaznamujejo življenja številnih prebivalcev. Porušenih je bilo skoraj 40 domov, za približno 10 še ni dokončne odločitve, pravi vodja vladne službe za obnovo po poplavah Boštjan Šefic. Ostali poudarki oddaje: Netanjahu zaprosil Rdeči križ za pomoč izraelskim talcem v Gazi. Hamas odgovarja: le, če bo dostop do humanitarne pomoči na vseh območjih. Po Trumpovi napovedi o premiku ameriških jedrskih podmornici bližje Rusiji Moskva in Peking s skupnimi vojaškimi vajami pred Vladivostokom. Začetek ene od najzahtevnejših obnov železniškega omrežja v zadnjem obdobju med Verdom in Logatcem, vredne več kot 40 milijonov evrov.

Danes začenjajo veljati nove ameriške carine. Proti Kanadi je ameriški predsednik Donald Trump uvedel od 25- do 35-odstotne carine, proti Braziliji 50-odstotne. Za uvoz iz Kitajske, Japonske, Izraela, Velike Britanije in Evropske unije naj bi bile 15-odstotne. Pogajalci povezave in Združenih držav sicer po navedbah Bruslja še usklajujejo skupno izjavo, ki bo nadgradila trgovinski dogovor. V oddaji tudi: - Povečevanje mednarodnega pritiska na Izrael; Slovenija kot prva v Evropi uvedla orožarski embargo - Ogorčenost zaradi racije na protifašističnem taboru včeraj izrazili na Dunaju, danes protest v Celovcu - Prometni zastoji pri nas tudi zunaj sezone povzročajo veliko gospodarsko škodo.

Danes se bo skoraj devetdeset glasbenikov iz 21ih držav prvič povezalo v Etno Histeria World Orchestra 2025, orkester pa se bo do 8. avgusta predstavil na osmih koncertih. V izolski galeriji Insula je na ogled razstava akademske slikarke Jasmine Rojc z naslovom Plavi konj.

Kresnice (Lampyridae) so bile nekoč nepogrešljiv del poletnih večerov, danes pa njihovo utripanje postaja redkost. Število t. i. ognjenih muh v zadnjih desetletjih upada, predvsem zaradi človekovih posegov v naravo, svetlobnega onesnaženja in podnebnih sprememb. Na svetu živi približno 2000 vrst kresnic, od tega jih v vlažnih in naravno ohranjenih okoljih v Sloveniji najdemo 5 vrst. Na fotografiji italijanska kresnica, avtor fotografije: dr. Tomi Trilar, Prirodoslovni muzej Slovenije

Poletni čas nas vabi, da proste dneve izkoristimo ne samo za oddih na morju ali v gorah, ampak, da obiščemo tudi kakšno kulturno prireditev, razstavo ali koncert. In velika predstavitev baroka v Sloveniji, ki povezuje kar pet nacionalnih kulturnih, izobraževalnih in raziskovalnih ustanov, je kot nalašč za to. Danes smo v Kulturnih utrinkih povabili v Narodno galerijo in Narodni muzej.

The first ruler of the House of Sverker, Sverker the Elder, had come out as the winner among contenders for the position of Ruler of Sweden, even though he wasn't from royal roots.  He was the ruler of the country, but various pieces of Sweden were considering themselves under or not under his authority, and other countries altogether were also working on taking Sweden or bits of it (that would be Denmark and Russia), and what with one thing and another, life wasn't very restful. And then one of the Danes got a trusted servant to murder Sverker. It was Christmas, and Sverker was on his way to church.  After that, the House of Sverker and the House of Erik handed the country back and forth for a while. Using battles.  Both hosts are concerned about how many people were getting murdered on Christmas day, Michelle found the most expensive movie ever made in Sweden, and Anne is confused by the several deaths in the episode brought on by local peasants.

V britanskem časopisu Guardian so se vprašali, če se je zlata doba turizma končala. Ali je treba zapleteno razmerje med tistimi, ki želijo obiskati najbolj zanimive kraje na svetu, in tistimi, ki v njih živijo, postaviti na novo? Veliko Slovencev poleti še vedno najbolj vleče na morje, na Jadran, na Hrvaško. To potrjujejo tudi rezultati najnovejše raziskave družbe Valicon. Na Hrvaškem je, ali še bo, poletni dopust preživela kar polovica Slovenk in Slovencev; 8 odstotkov v Italiji, 5 v Grčiji; 21 odstotkov Slovenk in Slovencev bo dopustovalo v Sloveniji. 15 odstotkov prebivalk in prebivalcev pa letos na dopust ne bo odšlo. V tokratni Intelekti vam v poslušanje in razmislek ponujamo nekaj spominov na dopust, počitnice in potovanja, na taka, kot so bila nekoč. Govorili bomo o turizmu danes, za katerega se zdi, da ga bodo prenatrpanost, draginja, vojne in naravne katastrofe, pokopali. Kakšna pa bo, če sploh, torej prihodnost turizma? Sodelujejo: analitičarka Ana Jemec Špik (Slovenska turistična organizacija), politologinja prof. dr. Marjetka Rangus (Fakulteta za turizem Univerze v Mariboru), »sanjač slovenskega turizma« Dominik S. Černjak (Turistična zveza Slovenije) in etnologinja, kulturna antropologinja in zgodovinarka doc. dr. Jasna Fakin Bajec (ZRC SAZU in Fakulteta za Humanistiko Univerze v Novi Gorici).

Jezuitsko združenje za begunce JRS Evropa je ob svetovnem dnevu beguncev pripravilo izjavo z naslovom: Od zanikanja do dostojanstva, od priznanja do dostojanstva - povrnitev pravic in gradnja prihodnosti z begunci. V njej med drugim piše: Ob svetovnem dnevu beguncev 2025 se svet nahaja na kritičnem razpotju pri ravnanju z begunci, ki so bili prisilno razseljeni. Ta dan ni le trenutek spomina, temveč poziv k ukrepanju, politični imperativ in moralna obveznost, da se spoprimemo s sistemi izključevanja, zapuščanja in nasilja, s katerimi se vsak dan soočajo milijoni beguncev. Danes je več kot 110 milijonov ljudi po vsem svetu prisilno razseljenih zaradi vojn, preganjanja, podnebnih kriz in sistemskih neenakosti. Med njimi je le 36,9 milijona uradno priznanih kot begunci. A namesto zaščite se prepogosto srečujejo z zidovi, odrivanjem in molkom. V zaključku piše: Naše poslanstvo pri JRS je že od nekdaj spremljati, služiti in zagovarjati begunce in prisilno razseljene osebe. To poslanstvo temelji na vrednotah človeškega dostojanstva, pravičnosti in bratstva. Ti niso abstraktni ideali - so temelj miroljubnih in pluralističnih družb. Ob svetovnem dnevu beguncev zavrnimo politiko strahu in oblikujmo politiko dobrodošlice. Preidimo od zanikanja k dostojanstvu, od izključenosti k srečanju. Prihodnost z begunci je prihodnost upanja, zanje in za vse nas.

Poslanci bodo zadnji dan redne seje pred počitnicami največ časa razpravljali o podnebnem zakonu, ki med drugim prinaša širitev sheme trgovanja s kuponi na cestni promet in stavbe. Cena izpustov bo višja, a vlada miri, da drastičnih podražitev ne bo. Okoljevarstveniki imajo glede zakona številne pomisleke, pripombe imajo tudi v Združenju in Skupnosti občin. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Trump Rusiji zagrozil z visokimi carinami, če v 50-ih dneh ne bo miru v Ukrajini. - Zunanji ministri Unije o ukrepih proti Izraelu, a malo verjetno, da bi katerega sprejeli. - Tri leta po najhujšem požaru pri nas kraška planota pod stalnim nadzorom.

Po zaprtju štirih Petrolovih bencinskih servisih zaradi vladne regulacije cen, se vrstijo protesti pred zaprtimi črpalkam. Danes so se zbrali krajani Solčave, ki poudarajo, da je poteza energetske družbe za lokalno skupnost nesprejemljiva. Vlada sicer tudi ob grožnjah Petrola z novimi zaprtji ne namerava popustiti. Poznavalci pa menijo, da gre za boj za prevlado v podjetju med upravljalci državnega lastniškega deleža in zasebnimi lastniki. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Evropska unija bo podaljšala zamrznitev carinskih protiukrepov za Združene države. - Vse več držav odstopa od Ottavske konvencije, Slovenija ostaja zavezana prepovedi protipehotnih min. - V izraelskem napadu na center za razdeljevanje vode ubitih 10 Palestincev.

The Fates of Classical Antiquity not only survived in the form of related fairy-tale figures but also as the object of superstitions and rituals associated with newborns. In South Slavic and Balkan regions particularly, these customs represent a surprisingly long-lived and genuine case of pagan survival. We begin our episode examining the fairy godmothers of "Sleeping Beauty" as embodiments of the Fates.  Mrs. Karswell reads a few key passages from the definitive version of the story included in Charles Perrault's 1697 collection, Histoires ou contes du temps passé ("stories of times gone by.") We learn how the fairies fulfill the historical role of godparents at the newborn's christening. We also note the peculiar emphasis on the quality of what's set before the fairies at the christening banquet, observing how a failure there leads the wicked fairy to curse the Sleeping Beauty. 1874 illustration by František Doucha for a Czech edition of Sleeping Beauty We then explore antecedents to Perrault's tale, beginning with the 14th-century French chivalric romance, Perceforest.  A peripheral story in this 8-volume work is that of Troylus and Zeelandine, in which the role of Sleeping Beauty's fairy godmothers are played by Greek and Roman deities, with Venus as supporter of Princess Zeelandine (and her suitor Troylus) and Themis cursing Zeelandine to sleep in a manner similar to Perrault's princess.  A failure to correctly lay out Themis' required items at the christening banquet is again again responsible for the curse, though the awakening of Zeelandine by Troylus awakens is surprisingly different and a notorious example of medieval bawdiness. Preceding Perceforest, there was the late 13th-century French historical romance Huon of Bordeaux, in which we hear of the newborn fairy king Oberon being both cursed and blessed by fairies attending his birth.  From around the same time, French poet and composer Adam de la Halle's Play of the Bower describes a banquet at which fairy guests pronounce a curses and blessings on those in attendance prompted again by their pleasure or displeasure at what's set before them at a banquet. We also  hear of the Danish King King Fridlevus (Fridlef II) bringing his newborn son to a temple of "three maidens" to ascertain the  destiny pf the child in Gesta Danorum ("Deeds of the Danes").written around 1200 by Saxo Grammaticus. And lest listeners think such appeals to the Fates were strictly a literary motif, we hear Burchard of Worms, in his early-11th-century Decretum, condemning the not uncommon among the Germans of his region of setting up offering tables for the Fates.  By this point, the connection between how fairy godmother types are served at a banquet and offerings made to the Fates to ensure a cild's fortune should be clear. We then turn back to the Greek Fates, the Moirai (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos) and the Roman Parcae (Nona, Decuma, and Morta). Particularly in the case of the Parcae, we hear examples of their connection to the newborn's destiny in the celebration nine or ten days after the birth of the dies lustricus, during which offerings were made to the Fates. The Three Fates by Bernardo Strozzi, late 17th c We make a brief side-trip to discuss the Norns (Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld), the Germanic equivalent of the Fates.  These are more distant cousins, not strongly associated with the newborn and his destiny, though we do hear a passage from the Poetic Edda, in which the Norns are  present birth of the hero Helgi. We also hear a gruesome passage from the 13th-century Njáls Saga, in which the Valkyries weave out the fate of those who will die in the Battle of Clontarf. The Anglo-Saxon equivalent of the Fates, the Wyrds, are also discussed, and we hear how the  witches in Macbeth partook in this identity as the "Weird Sisters," an association Shakespeare inherited from his source material, the 1587 history of Great Britain, known as Holinshed's Chronicles.

Now here's your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes.  Allen Hall 2025: Well welcome back to Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I have Rosemary Barnes down in Canberra Australia. Phil's in California, and evidently he lives next door to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and I, I had no idea, Phil, like you're that close to royalty.  Phil Totaro: I'm not. You're  Allen Hall 2025: making that up. Joel's up in Wisconsin somewhere in the northern wilds of Wisconsin. Next to a cheese factory, and here I sit in Charlotte, North Carolina. If we've been paying attention or if you've been paying attention to the news over the last, uh, 48 hours in America has been complete chaos as we are recording this and the US Senate has [00:01:00] passed a bill regarding renewable energy and it's back to the house. Supposedly this is all gonna get signed off by the 4th of July. So we're recording it. Today is July 2nd. Um. So by the time you hear this, something may or may not have happened, and we're trying to keep abreast of the latest, but I think there's some other news going on around the world. And, uh, one of the stories we found interesting was the Danish Offshore, uh, agency Energy Agency has approved permit extensions for two of Denmark's oldest offshore wind farms, which marks a major milestone for. Wind energy longevity. The middle Gruden and Newstead offshore wind farms have received permission to operate for an additional 25 years and 10 years respectively. That is massive extension. Uh, the middle Gruden facility, which is built in 2001, has about 20 turbines and about 40 megawatts of capacity, and it's owned by a community cooperative. [00:02:00] And the Danes being on top of all these things, uh, allowed the extension after doing an engineering analysis showing that the infrastructure has more life. This is unusual. Is this just a artifact of early designs being overly conservative? And these wind farms can practically live forever? I think so. I, uh,  Joel Saxum: I like it. Alright. I wish that all these wind turbines are built this way because it's then you can get more longevity of, I think now of course when everybody has a repower now or tries to extend life, they're trying to really do it. So they're trying to, if we're gonna put money, we'll try to, you know, up the kilowatt, we'll try to up the capacity, well then the foundations don't hold and these kind of things. So it's kind of like if you look at, um. I'm up here in northern Wisconsin, not too far from my house. There's a bridge that was built by the CCC, uh, the civilian Conservation Corps in like the, um, at the Great Depression. So like in the 1930s, late, [00:03:00] late 1920s. And that bridge is fine. Like it's golden. It's still good, right? But it was overbuilt, super built to be heavy duty construction. And there's another bridge just down the road from that same one over the same river that was done in the seventies that needs a complete replacement. Because it was done, it was done with like, you know, di different design functions, not as robust. And,

July is vacation month in Denmark, and it's ironic that many Danes go elsewhere on vacation at just this time of year, when you have the best chance of good weather in Denmark. And I do mean chance – there is never any guarantee. Some Danes go abroad, driving vacations to Southern Europe are popular. There's a well-known cycle in which the summer weather is good one year, so everyone plans a vacation in Denmark the following year, and then the weather is awful, so everyone plans a foreign vacation the next year, and then the weather is good, and so on. You can surf in Denmark Staying in Denmark, even if you don't own one of the famous Danish summer houses, can be a great choice. There's a surprising amount of nature to experience in this small, flat, country that isn't as densely populated as the UK, or the Netherlands, or even Germany. You can surf in Denmark, along the windy west coast, and when you're done explore the ever changing sand dunes. Maybe visit the little lighthouse that is slowly being swallowed up by the sand. Hike through ancient forests in Denmark In Denmark you can hike through ancient forests, and even sleep there in some of the public forest shelters. Most of the forest shelters are big wooden boxes with one side entirely open, but with a roof to protect you from the rain. You can walk through beautiful meadows filled with wildflowers and butterflies. Watch whales along the coastline. Tramp through marshes and see red foxes and white-tailed eagles. Visit open grasslands with a few wild horses. Chalk cliffs and fossil hunting in Denmark You can enjoy almost any type of Nordic landscape except mountains, because Denmark doesn't really have any. It's tallest peak, Møllehøj, is 1/3 the height of the Empire State Building. But if you insist on rocky peaks, you can visit some lovely chalk cliffs in Denmark and try fossil hunting in the sand. And what ties them all together is the Marguerite Route, or Daisy Route, that runs all over Denmark. The Daisy Route isn't a straight line from one place to another, like Route 66 in the US or the Trans-Siberian express. It's 4200 kilometers, or 2600 miles, that looks like a plate of spaghetti, with lots of curves and twists. It takes you on back roads where you can see the quiet side of Denmark. It never doubles back on itself and, with one significant exception – the Big Belt Bridge between Zealand and Fyn – it involves no highways. Margueritruten Route or the Daisy Route The Daisy Route is named after the former queen, Margrethe, who inaugurated it on her 50th birthday in 1991. Her nickname is Daisy. And the signs you will follow on the Daisy Route are brown squares with white daisies. The Daisy Route is a great way to enjoy Danish nature, although, unfortunately, it works best with a car. Bikes in the city, cars in the countryside One of Denmark's little secrets is that despite all the tourism pictures of healthy Danes riding bicycles, bicycle infrastructure is best in the big cities. Many roads in the countryside don't have a bike lane, and you probably don't want to be on a lonely country road on your bike with a cement mixer truck behind you. Outside of those big cities, most Danes do own cars – and there are more cars in Denmark every year, even though they're very expensive and parking enforcement is draconian. From the window of my home in Copenhagen, I watch cars being hit with parking fines every single weekday. Denmark's founding document, the Jelling Stone What about mass transit? Can you enjoy the Daisy Route using trains and buses? You can indeed, if you want to see some of the major cultural spots on the route. For example, the Jelling Stone, the giant carved stone that is Denmark's founding document, kind of its Magna Carta or Declaration of Independence. Put up by King Harold Bluetooth in the year 965, it marks Denmark's transition to the centralized monarchy it still has today. And yes, Bluetooth on your phone is named after him. The Jelling Stone is very easy to reach by train. Finding Fossils on Møns Klimt Or Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, also known as Elsinore in Shakespeare's play Hamlet. You can easily take public transport to the castle, where Hamlet lived in the play, and the guard Marcellus said “Something is Rotten in Denmark.” Although Shakespeare apparently never visited the castle himself, you can. It's a simple trip with train, bus, or even ferry from Sweden. But the some of the best stops on the Daisy Route in Denmark don't work well with mass transit. For example, Møns Klimt is a dramatic white chalk cliff on an island in southeast Denmark. You can walk along the beach finding prehistoric fossils during the day or go stargazing at night, because there's very little light pollution. Summer vacation chill in Denmark To get to Møns Klimt from my home in Copenhagen is a 90 minute car trip…or a 4-hour odyssey involving three trains, two buses, and a long walk. Or a 7-hour bike trip. It can be done without a car, but it may take away some of your vacation chill. And vacation chill is what July in Denmark is all about. Everything closes down Many companies in Denmark shut down for the last two weeks of July and sometimes the first week of August, restaurants and shops are closed, many church services are suspended. Even my local ice cream shop in Copenhagen closes down, although I'm sure the ones in tourist locations are open and very busy. You may get to enjoy this in glorious summer sunshine, and on a sunny day, there is no country as pretty as Denmark. Or you could experience it in cold, pelting rain – possibly on the same day. Danish summer weather has no guarantees.

Z današnjim dnem začenja veljati najpomembnejša pravica iz zakona o dolgotrajni oskrbi: oskrba na domu. Za zdaj pa je to pravica zgolj na papirju, saj vlog predvidoma ne bodo rešili prej kot pozno jeseni, ne deluje še niti informacijski sistem. Izvajalci tarnajo, da primanjkuje kadra. Z današnjim dnem pa ob tem dobivamo tudi novo obveznost: plačevanje obveznega zavarovanja za dolgotrajno oskrbo.

How did the Danish missionary Hans Egede combine capitalism and religion in his colonisation of Greenland in the 1700s? Why have we forgotten about Danish colonialism in India and Greenland? When did Greenlanders gain self-determination?  Anita and William discuss how the Danes colonised Greenland in the 18th century, using a system not too dissimilar to the East India Company: royal monopolies and efforts to eradicate Indigenous culture.  ----------------- Empire Club: Become a member of the Empire Club to receive early access to miniseries, ad-free listening, early access to live show tickets, bonus episodes, book discounts, our exclusive newsletter, and access to our members' chatroom on Discord!

Movie Star Great Dane's Owner Helps Educate the Public Host Laura Reeves is joined by Bev Klingensmith, breeder, owner and trainer of the canine star of the new movie, The Friend. [caption id="attachment_14029" align="alignleft" width="671"] Bev Klingensmith and Bing on set filming The Friend.[/caption] Klingensmith's dog, Bing, CH Flighty Foto White Christmas CD RA CA DCAT TKI CGC TT, plays the part of the Harlequin Great Dane in the movie which stars Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, about a solitary writer who adopts and bonds with a Great Dane that belonged to a late friend, helping her to come to terms with her past and her own creative inner life. Bing is Klingensmith's fourth generation of homebred Great Danes, starting in the late ‘90s. “The production company actually sent an e-mail to me back in January of 2020. When I first got the e-mail I deleted it. People, I've told that story and people ask if I thought it was a scam or fake. And I'm like, no, I just didn't think it was realistic for me. They're talking filming in New York. I live in Iowa. And then I was like, you know, I do have lots of friends on the East Coast with Danes. Maybe I can help point them in the right direction, give them some contacts at least. That was really my only initial reason to reach back out.” Klingensmith is very aware of concerns about the risks posed by purebred dogs appearing in movies and has used the movie as a platform for education about her beloved breed. “I worked with the production team and we put a piece in the credits encouraging folks to visit the Great Dane Club of America's website for breeder referrals and rescue contacts. I have worked with a few rescues for fundraising. We've done so many Q&A events and things like that. And that is one of the things I always hit on is Great Danes are not for everyone. “They are not couch potatoes. They're giant, their expenses are giant. If you choose to get a Great Dane, where you get the Great Dane is so important. It's not just selecting the right breed for your home. It's also selecting where to get that dog. And that's almost more important than selecting the right breed. And that's been a huge statement that I've been trying to make over and over to the public and fingers crossed the message gets out there. “One of the things I like to point out, he is a champion. He's purposely bred, carefully bred, thoughtfully bred with generations of all the same behind him. That none of that has happened by chance. His temperament and his behavior, none of it has happened by chance. “I try to stress that to people as much as I can because we're talking about where you get your dog is so important. I told people a lot, ignorance and apathy, they're both really bad traits to have in a breeder. I might love my dog, but if I don't know what I'm doing, I'm still gonna be a bad breeder unintentionally. And that's just as damaging as the breeders that don't care.”

In the 1600s, both Denmark and Sweden joined the race to establish colonies overseas. The Danes returned to Greenland, but also set up outposts in India. These colonial projects were quite successful. The Swedes, on the other hand, were less fortunate trying to gain a foothold in North America.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the best known events and figures in Irish history. In 1014 Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, defeated the Hiberno-Norse forces of Sigtrygg Silkbeard and allies near their Dublin stronghold, with Brian losing his life on the day of battle. Soon chroniclers in Ireland and abroad were recording and retelling the events, raising the status of Brian Boru as one who sacrificed himself for Ireland, Christ-like, a connection reinforced by the battle taking place on Good Friday.

Note: Do you hate it when politics are discussed in places you go for sports? Then skip this episode entirely or skip to 36:19. Things Discussed after 36:19 Leak to Thamel says NCAA told Michigan they'll suspend Sherrone for CMU and Nebraska. Sam: Leak is overblown—it's part of the back and forth with Michigan, not something that's been accepted. Would we take it? Brian thinks it's harsh but if this ends it, fine—you kowtow to the power and move on. Thamel aside, let's go over what Sherrone did. Facts we are relatively certain of: Sherrone deleted all of his texts off his phone around the time the Stalions thing came out, knowing he still has a copy of them. He then went and retrieved the texts for the investigators, and there was nothing incriminating on them. Seth: The question I have is whether he deleted those texts because he regularly cleans his phone, or was that unusual behavior? If it happens regularly this is just trying to make an innocuous thing sound as bad as they can. If it was unusual, then yeah, considering he's the coach now (he wasn't then), and considering how important we value transparency from people in positions of power, a two-week suspension (week->not an Urban Meyer suspension where you just sit out the game) is appropriate. Craig: Is it? If he did nothing wrong, why should he deserve a punishment? It's not a crime to not cover up what's not a crime. [Hit the JUMP for the rest of the discussion, the player, and video and stuff]  Things Discussed before 36:19: Santa Ono's departure and academic freedom (from start of the show): Turns out he was just another suit. Taking $3 million and taking his name of something he signed 2 weeks ago and go do what Ron DeSantis tells him tells you all you need to know. People are going to try to pretend this was taking a stand against the regents or because The Hammer is coming down or that this is about Warde's stance on NIL—whatever stupid narrative they want to believe in. People try to make everything fit the story they want to tell. You'd have to be a quisling to work at the University of Florida. Some empathy because becoming the face of something like that is a life-defining choice, and the nature of the job is you're going to have unreasonable people mad at you because, e.g., they think divesting Michigan from Intel will stop Netanyahu from killing Gazans to placate the far-right members of his coalition that are keeping him out of jail. Part of being the president of Michigan is you are going to have to take a stand for liberalism (as defined). Justice, knowledge, freedom of study: these liberal ideals are the foundational principles of our school, and our school is the best public university in the country. When those ideals are challenged, as they are now by an illiberal authoritarian administration in Washington, you have to tell them "No." And no, this isn't about their DEI policies either. The DEI Office was already was already the midst of being rearranged. And to be clear (Brian said, and I generally agree) we're in favor of that, because the expense of the university's bureaucracy (1 administrator to 5 students—don't quote us on that) is too much, and that money is better off being spent on housing, on improving the Go Blue Guarantee, and on more and better instructors. The most direct parts of the policy (e.g. student housing assistance) were also better off shifted, along with their funding, to parts of the administration that were already doing the same things, and the layers of forms and oversight were probably not the best way of accomplishing the admirable and necessary goal of taking responsibility for an equity of experience for students of certain minorities. Need to be clear: When the White House says "DEI" they aren't talking about Michigan's DEI office nor which books are in the library; they're talking about things like whether I can give a lecture to Dooley's class every semester on the history of integration in college athletics, or whether Women's Studies can be a subject matter. Next president, next on NIL (17 minutes) Next president: what do we want? Brian thinks it'll be another administrator off an expensive search. Seth thinks there are going to be big names calling the school because it's a prestigious job. We need someone who has values, someone who is going to stand up for the university, and (let's not forget) someone who is going to value athletics as an essential engine of the school's value. Brian's not concerned about that so much because the donors won't sit around long if we drop to 126th/134 teams in passing. It's not the donors worrying about that; it's the parts of the school that usually get lots of donations making that a concern. NIL: House settlement is going to include some sort of auditing process that is going to curtail the amount you can directly spend via NIL on players. Don't know how enforceable that is going to be. Congress is going to step in eventually to provide them an antitrust exemption or they're just going to keep getting sued. They might have done it by classifying the players as labor but that's unlikely if it happens now given the party in power who'd be crafting legislation right now is extremely anti-labor. We should say what we want in a president for Athletics: stand up for Michigan when the NCAA goes after them. Brian: Probably won't be facing any significant decisions since the big sports all have relatively new coaches (Why do you always say that?) What they need is someone who will have a spine. The Michigan community will support you. Seth: I'm not just looking for someone who'll rebel; I'm looking for someone who's going to win. Losing funding—which the government gave to the University not as a handout but because the People of the United States want, e.g., a cure for cancer and Michigan can put together the tools and best people to do that. Losing that funding would be devastating. It's not like they just stop doing the research—they already built the labs and financed it, so they'd be under water and lose capability to get it back. Brian: It's going to happen anyways. This is an administration of idiots making decisions based on wanting to hurt the people they don't like, and the University of Michigan is a bright blue beacon of every kind of value and kind of person they want to eradicate. Seth: So we don't just need a fighter; we need a uniter—someone who is going to get all the other institution's administrators (sorry, the faculty isn't the same thing), so when war comes they can win, or at least make it hurt. The towns that resisted the Danes got slaughtered and the towns that paid a danegeld just got more Danes; Alfred beat them by forming England. In the break: MGoBlog's readership, based on Google Analytics on how people voted for national offices, was about 55-45 Democrats to Republicans when I took over advertising in 2012. It's now close to 75-25, without shifting any other metrics about our readership, meaning we're still talking to (a lot more of) the same kind of (educated, hyper-curious) person, but that kind of person, if they ever were a Republican, is leaving the party now.

Following the bloody St Brice's Day Massacre, of the 13th of November 1002, which saw King Æthelred brutally exterminating the Danes from England, the Vikings were hungry for revenge. None more so than the terrifying Scandinavian King, Sweyn Forkbeard. Having capitalised on his famous father, Harold Bluetooth's unification of Norway and Denmark, through his aggressive christianisation of the formerly pagan peoples there, Sweyn had built up a formidable force. It was this power that Æthelred had unwisely taunted, underestimating the might of the Danes. He would pay the price only a few short months later when Sweyn's terrible fleet landed at Wilton Abbey in Wessex - one of the greatest symbols of the House of Alfred the Great - to bleed England dry, and destroy her King. Time and time again, from this date onwards, Sweyn's Danish raids would devastate England, even going so far as to lock the Archbishop of Canterbury in a cage…by 1013 Æthelred's reign was essentially over, his family having fled to Normandy, and England under Danish rule. But then, the death of Sweyn Forkbeard would change everything, setting in motion another titanic war of succession, this time pitting the Scandinavian Cnut against Æthelred's son Edmund Ironside. Who would triumph in this climactic clash of would-be kings? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the revenge of the vikings and the rise of Cnut, as 1066 and the Battle of Hastings loom into view...
