några minuter insåg de sitt misstag.En: But within a few minutes, they realized their mistake.Sv: Istället för en historiepromenad för vuxna hade de gått med i en barnturné, fylld med skrattande

prinsessa!"En: "Fear not, princess!"Sv: utropade han och vågade sig framåt, men snubblade över sina egna fötter.En: he exclaimed and dared to move forward but tripped over his own feet.Sv: Elin skrattade så hon fick tårar i ögonen, och snart befann sig även Mikael omedvetet mitt i skratten.En: Elin laughed until she had tears in her eyes, and soon Mikael found himself in the middle of the

"Det här är en av de bästa dagarna jag har haft på länge!"En: "This is one of the best days I've had in a long time!"Sv: Mikael log, hans nervositet bortblåst.En: Mikael smiled, his nervousness blown away.Sv: "Det var inte alls som jag hade planerat," medgav han.En: "It wasn't at all what I had planned," he admitted.Sv: "Men vet du, perfektion är kanske överskattad."En: "But you know, perfection might be overrated."Sv: De fortsatte promenera genom Skansen, nu fyllda av ett lättare hjärta och delad glädje.En: They continued walking through Skansen, now filled with lighter hearts and shared joy.Sv: Mellan de gamla stugorna och den svenska sommarens omfamnande atmosfär hade de hittat något speciellt—äventyret de inte ens hade letat efter.En: Between the old cottages and the embracing atmosphere of the Swedish summer, they had found something special—the adventure they hadn't even been looking for.

The Insight: 272 million reasons to Act - Why the World Can't Afford to Fail on Education | HRW's Elin Martinez by Radio Islam

In this special episode, Alex Stolz is joined by Elin Boijens (Searchers, Netherlands) and Giulia Amadio (BIM Distribuzione, Italy), two participants in Distributors on the Move, Europa Distribution's pioneering professional exchange programme. Together, they reflect on the transformative impact of spending time embedded within each other's companies and exploring the day-to-day realities of film distribution in a different market.  Giulia and Elin dive deep into the structural and strategic contrasts between the Italian and Benelux cinema landscapes—from differences in audience behavior, cinema-going habits, and marketing approaches to infrastructure realities, dubbing vs. subtitling preferences, and the role of distributor-owned cinemas. They discuss the challenge of attracting younger audiences in Italy, the power of subscription models in the Netherlands, and how local market conditions influence everything from trailer design to influencer collaborations. The episode also explores how each company tackled recent releases like The Apprentice and I'm Still Here, highlighting the nuances of political positioning, poster artwork choices, and physical event strategies. Listeners will get a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to build campaigns for niche vs. broad audiences, the growing importance of creator partnerships, and the limitations of using digital campaign data in territories without direct ticketing insight. Offering a compelling case for greater cross-border learning and cooperation, Elin and Giulia speak to the intangible but powerful benefits of the exchange—how simply being in another distributor's office and absorbing their team dynamics, workflows, and problem-solving approaches can inspire new thinking and lasting relationships. Through this process they suggest how shared challenges—and creative responses—can enrich the entire European film industry.

Mají přijít investiční poradci o provize a mít jen fixní plat? „Pokud nemají žádnou fixní složku platu, je tam určitě přitažlivost produktů, které mají vysokou provizi. Klient je až na posledním místě,“ říká bankéř Tomáš Spurný.Investiční poradci by neměli být tolik závislí na provizích a měli by dostávat pevnou měsíční odměnu. Nově to požaduje Česká národní banka, zatímco sami investiční poradci se takovému výkladu evropské legislativy brání.Dosud trh funguje tak, že poradce prodá produkt, dostane provizi od firmy, která daný produkt vydává, a čím více prodá, tím více vydělá. To je podle ředitele Monety Money Bank Tomáše Spurného špatně, poradci mají mít mzdu a souhlasí tak s výkladem ČNB.Inside Talks.

Story Transcript:Da: Freja stod ved kanten af klipperne og lod blikket glide ud over det vidtstrakte hav.En: Freja stood at the edge of the cliffs and let her gaze wander over the vast sea.Da: Vinden spillede i hendes hår, og solens varme kærtegn fyldte hendes sind med en kortvarig fred.En: The wind played in her hair, and the sun's warm caress filled her mind with a fleeting sense of peace.Da: Denne del af kysten ved Thy National Park var hendes foretrukne sted om sommeren.En: This part of the coast at Thy National Park was her favorite place in the summer.Da: Her kunne hun ofte se sjældne fugle, der kom for at bygge rede på de bølgende klipper.En: Here she could often see rare birds that came to nest on the rolling cliffs.Da: Her ønskede hun at finde fred.En: Here she wished to find tranquility.Da: Men bag hende, på stranden, lød Søren's latter og Elins glade råb.En: But behind her, on the beach, came Søren's laughter and Elin's joyful shouts.Da: Søren, Frejas yngre bror, var altid midtpunkt for opmærksomheden.En: Søren, Freja's younger brother, was always the center of attention.Da: Han elskede sjov og eventyr og ønskede at inddrage alle – især sin ældre, mere tilbagetrukne søster.En: He loved fun and adventure and wanted to include everyone—especially his older, more reserved sister.Da: "Freja, kom, vi mangler dig til vikingegolf!"En: "Freja, come, we need you for viking golf!"Da: råbte Søren ivrigt.En: shouted Søren eagerly.Da: Freja sukkede lidt, men vidste, at hun måtte hjælpe med at sætte picnicen op, før hun kunne stikke af til sit eget hjørne af paradis.En: Freja sighed a little but knew she had to help set up the picnic before she could sneak away to her own corner of paradise.Da: Tiden gik, og tæpper blev lagt ud, kurve blev åbnet, og snart duftede luften af nybagt brød og friskfangede fisk.En: Time passed, blankets were laid out, baskets opened, and soon the air smelled of freshly baked bread and freshly caught fish.Da: Da de endelig var sat, med en undskyldning om at skulle tjekke noget, sneg Freja sig væk mod de mere isolerede klippeformationer.En: When they were finally settled, with an excuse to check something, Freja snuck away toward the more isolated rock formations.Da: Her, omgivet af bølgernes brusen, fandt hun sin plads.En: Here, surrounded by the roar of the waves, she found her spot.Da: Hun satte sig stille og tog sin kikkert frem.En: She sat quietly and took out her binoculars.Da: Hendes hjerte sprang ved synet af en sjælden havørn, majestætisk og stolt, der kredsede højt over hende.En: Her heart leaped at the sight of a rare sea eagle, majestic and proud, circling high above her.Da: I sin iver fordybede hun sig i dette magiske øjeblik, men i et øjebliks glæde kaldte hun på sin bror for at få del i synet.En: In her excitement, she got caught up in this magical moment, but in a moment of joy, she called for her brother to share in the sight.Da: "Søren!En: "Søren!Da: Se, se der!"En: Look, look

En av de största utmaningarna för en mer hållbar textilindustri är den begränsade insynen i värdekedjan. Med EU:s Ekodesigndirektiv tar arbetet nu fart med att införa digitala produktpass, ett verktyg som kan samla och tillgängliggöra relevant information om en produkts livscykel. Men hur kan företag använda detta nya regelverk som en drivkraft för innovation och affärsutveckling?GS1 Sweden arbetar med globala standarder som möjliggör strukturerad informationsdelning, ökad transparens och spårbarhet i värdekedjor. Tillsammans med bland andra Filippa K och Axfoundation driver GS1 Sweden initiativet The Fiber Traceability Initiative, där de utforskar hur en transparent informationskedja för ullplagg kan fungera i praktiken.I studion möter vi Karolin Catela från GS1 Sweden och Elin Dahl Sandrén från Filippa K. De berättar om insikterna från pilotprojektet och hur digitala produktpass, med stöd av globala standarder, kan skapa värde i allt från design och produktion till återförsäljning och cirkulära affärsmodeller.Programledare: Christian von Essen // Läs mer på hejaframtiden.se och prenumerera på nyhetsbrevet!Avsnittet produceras i samarbete med GS1 Sweden.

Transcript:Sv: Det var vår i vikingabyn vid fjorden, och hela världen verkade vakna till liv.En: It was spring in the Viking village by the fjord, and the whole world seemed to awaken to life.Sv: Trähusen med sina grästäckta tak ståtlade i det milda vårsolskenet, och ängarna blommade så smått med vilda blommor.En: The wooden houses with their grass-covered roofs stood proudly in the gentle spring sunshine, and the meadows slowly blossomed with wildflowers.Sv: Luften var frisk, fylld med doften av havet och nybakat bröd, medan byborna hektiskt förberedde sig inför Midsommar och den stora släktträffen.En: The air was fresh, filled with the scent of the sea and freshly baked bread, as the villagers busily prepared for Midsommar and the great family gathering.Sv: Lars, en ung smed, arbetade flitigt i sin smedja.En: Lars, a young blacksmith, worked diligently in his forge.Sv: Han ville smida ett vackert svärd till träffen, något som skulle bevisa hans färdigheter.En: He wanted to forge a beautiful sword for the gathering, something that would prove his skills.Sv: Men han stötte snart på problem.En: But he soon encountered problems.Sv: Smedjan var i dåligt skick, och han saknade särskilda material för att skapa det legendariska vikingasvärdet han drömde om.En: The forge was in poor condition, and he lacked the specific materials to create the legendary Viking sword he dreamed of.Sv: Hans syster, Kajsa, var i full fart med att förbereda maten för den kommande festen.En: His sister, Kajsa, was busy preparing the food for the upcoming feast.Sv: Hon var känd i byn för att vara en mästerlig kock och kunde organisera en fest som ingen annan.En: She was known in the village for being a masterful cook and could organize a feast like no one else.Sv: "Lars, kom och smaka," ropade hon och pekade på en korg fylld med färskt bröd.En: "Lars, come and taste," she called, pointing to a basket filled with fresh bread.Sv: "Inte nu, Kajsa," svarade Lars med ett litet leende.En: "Not now, Kajsa," replied Lars with a small smile.Sv: "Jag måste hitta speciella material.En: "I must find special materials.Sv: Utan dem blir svärdet inte färdigt."En: Without them, the sword will not be finished."Sv: Medan Lars förberedde sig för att ge sig ut på en liten resa, kom deras yngre kusin Elin springande till smedjan.En: As Lars prepared to set out on a small journey, their younger cousin Elin came running to the forge.Sv: Hennes ögon glittrade av nyfikenhet.En: Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.Sv: "Får jag följa med, Lars?"En: "Can I come with you, Lars?"Sv: frågade hon ivrigt.En: she asked eagerly.Sv: "Jag vill lära mig mer om vår släkts historia."En: "I want to learn more about our family's history."Sv: "Tyvärr, Elin," sa Lars medan han målmedvetet packade ner sina saker.En: "Unfortunately, Elin," said Lars as he purposefully packed his things.Sv: "Denna gång måste jag gå ensam.En: "This time I must go alone.Sv: Jag måste skynda mig tillbaka innan träffen börjar."En: I must hurry back before the gathering begins."Sv: Lars begav sig iväg, och vägarna var långa.En: Lars set off, and the roads were long.Sv: Han vandrade genom skog och över fält, allt för att hitta de material han behövde.En: He wandered through forests and across fields, all to find the materials he needed.Sv: Tid förlorades, och stilla undrade han om han skulle hinna tillbaka i tid för firandet.En: Time was lost, and he quietly wondered if he would make it back in time for the celebration.Sv: När Lars äntligen återvände, var gryningen över Midsommardagen nära.En: When Lars finally returned, the dawn of Midsommar Day was near.Sv: Han svettades lätt och undrade om hans ansträngning skulle löna sig.En: He was lightly sweating and wondered if his efforts would pay off.Sv: Hans händer var tomma, och svärdet var ännu ofärdigt.En: His hands were empty, and the sword was still unfinished.Sv: Men ändå bestämde Lars sig för att visa sitt arbete vid släktträffen.En: Yet Lars decided to show his work at the family gathering.Sv: Han lyfte det halvfärdiga svärdet inför alla och förklarade processen.En: He lifted the half-finished sword before everyone and explained the process.Sv: Hans ögon strålade av stolthet, trots ofullständigheten.En: His eyes beamed with pride, despite the incompleteness.Sv: De åskådarna, som till en början hade tystnat, bröt ut i ett småleende och applåderade hans ansträngningar.En: The spectators, who had initially fallen silent, broke into smiles and applauded his efforts.Sv: De visste att det mest värdefulla inte alltid är perfektion, utan det hårda arbetet och ärliga försök.En: They knew that the most valuable thing is not always perfection, but the hard work and honest attempt.Sv: Kajsa, med en hand full av honungsströmmade bullar, log brett mot sin bror.En: Kajsa, with a hand full of honey-drenched buns, beamed at her brother.Sv: "Du har gjort oss stolta, Lars," sa hon.En: "You have made us proud, Lars," she said.Sv: "Det är viljan att våga och försöka som räknas."En: "It's the will to dare and try that counts."Sv: Elin såg upp till Lars med beundran.En: Elin looked up to Lars with admiration.Sv: För första gången förstod hon att deras familjehistoria handlade lika mycket om mod och misslyckanden som om framgångar.En: For the first time, she understood that their family history was as much about courage and failures as it was about successes.Sv: Och medan Midsommarfirandet fortsatte med dans och sång kring majstången, visste Lars att han hade vunnit något större än bara erkännande för ett vackert svärd—han hade fått en djupare förståelse och uppskattning för livet och för sin familj.En: And as the Midsommar celebration continued with dance and song around the maypole, Lars knew he had won something greater than just recognition for a beautiful sword—he had gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for life and for his family.

In the 1940s, some vulnerable Swedish hospital patients were fed large amounts of sugary sweets as part of an experiment to see what it would do to their teeth. Researchers considered the study a success as it led to new recommendations for children to eat sweets just once a week. In the 1990s, the unethical aspects of the experiment emerged when Elin Bommenel became the first researcher to gain access to the original documents from the experiments. Sweden's government has never formally apologised for what happened, although it has greatly improved care for vulnerable children and adults.Elin tells Frida Anund about the revelations.

Elin Anna Labba's nonfiction book The Rocks Will Echo Our Sorrow, the forced displacement of the Northern Sámi blends history, memoir, poetry and images to depict a hard life and give voice to long-held grief. 

Here, Elin Adcock shares her powerful journey through her husband's ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnoses—and how she's now leading the charge to support families facing the same fight.  When Elin's husband, Larry was diagnosed with both ALS and FTD, her world changed forever.  In this episode, Elin shares how she navigated the overwhelming challenges of caregiving through two devastating and progressive diseases—often without a clear roadmap or coordinated support. After her husband's passing, Elin turned her grief into action, becoming a fierce advocate for families facing similar dual diagnoses. Her story is one of love, resilience, and the power of transforming personal loss into lasting impact. Whether you're a caregiver, healthcare professional, or someone seeking hope amid hardship, this conversation offers insight, inspiration, and a call for greater awareness.  Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend.  Hugs, Lorri!Follow and see what's coming next: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn.
