activity.No: Store solen strømmet inn gjennom de åpne vinduene i den romslige stuen.En: The big sun streamed in through the open windows in the spacious living room.No: Hver krik og krok var fylt med IKEA-esker, verktøy lå strødd på gulvet, og midt i kaoset sto Sindre, Ingrid og Magnus.En: Every nook and cranny was filled with IKEA boxes, tools were strewn across the floor, and in the midst of the chaos stood Sindre, Ingrid, and Magnus.No: Sindre sto med overkroppen lent over en litt forvirrende bruksanvisning.En: Sindre stood with his upper body leaned over a somewhat confusing instruction manual.No: Han stirret intenst på den lille tegningen av garderoben han ønsket å bygge.En: He stared intently at the little drawing of the wardrobe he wanted to build.No: "Denne gangen skal det gå perfekt," mumlet han bestemt.En: "This time it will go perfectly," he muttered determinedly.No: "Det ser ut som en haug med pinner," lo Magnus, som satt avslappet i en lenestol.En: "It looks like a pile of sticks," laughed Magnus, who was sitting relaxed in an armchair.No: Moren, Ingrid, smilte bredt og sa: "Vi klarer det sammen, Sindre.En: Their mother, Ingrid, smiled broadly and said, "We'll manage it together, Sindre.No: Slapp av litt.En: Relax a bit."No: "Magnus, med et glimt av rampestreker i øynene, begynte å bytte om deler når Sindre så vekk.En: Magnus, with a glint of mischief in his eyes, began swapping parts when Sindre looked away.No: Til tross for farens intense blikk på bruksanvisningen, var det noen deler som ikke passet helt som forventet.En: Despite his father's intense focus on the instruction manual, there were some pieces that didn't quite fit as expected.No: "Magnus, hva gjør du der borte?En: "Magnus, what are you doing over there?"No: " spurte Sindre mistankefullt, men Magnus svarte bare med et uskyldig blikk.En: asked Sindre suspiciously, but Magnus just answered with an innocent look.No: "Jeg hjelper til, pappa," sa han, prøvde å holde seg alvorlig.En: "I'm helping, Dad," he said, trying to keep a straight face.No: Ingrid lo og sa: "La oss ta en pause, Sindre.En: Ingrid laughed and said, "Let's take a break, Sindre.No: Kanskje det hjelper å se på det med friske øyne.En: Maybe it will help to look at it with fresh eyes."No: "Men Sindre ville ikke gi opp.En: But Sindre didn't want to give up.No: Han la kabalen av deler fremfor seg, fast bestemt på å prøve igjen.En: He laid the puzzle of pieces out in front of him, determined to try again.No: Mens han jobbet, følte han Ingrids varme hånd på skulderen sin.En: While he worked, he felt Ingrid's warm hand on his shoulder.No: "Det er ikke slutten av verden om det ikke gå etter planen," sa hun beroligende.En: "It's not the end of the world if it doesn't go according to plan," she said reassuringly.No: Med Ingrid og Magnus' høflige kaos som bakteppe, fortsatte Sindre å montere.En: With Ingrid and Magnus's polite chaos as a backdrop, Sindre continued to assemble.No: Men da alt så ut til å nærme seg slutten, falt strukturen plutselig sammen.En: But when everything looked like it was nearing completion, the structure suddenly collapsed.No: Delene gikk alle veier, men het sto tilbake en slags merkelig kunststykke midt i stuen.En: The parts went everywhere, but what remained was a kind of strange art piece in the middle of the living room.No: En kreasjon av tilfeldigheter og Magnus' frekke bytte av deler.En: A creation of chance and Magnus's cheeky swapping of parts.No: Sindre så først helt målløs ut.En: Sindre first looked utterly speechless.No: Så begynte Magnus å le, og Ingrid fulgte etter.En: Then Magnus started to laugh, and Ingrid joined in.No: Snart slapp Sindre også latteren løs, latteren fylte rommet.En: Soon, Sindre let loose his laughter as well, filling the room with it.No: "Kanskje dette er vår nye moderne kunst," foreslo Ingrid muntert.En: "Maybe this is our new modern art," suggested Ingrid cheerfully.No: "Ja," sa Sindre og tørket en tåre av latter, "det er kanskje mer minneverdig enn en kjedelig, gammel garderobe.En: "Yes," said Sindre, wiping away a tear of laughter, "it might be more memorable than a boring, old wardrobe."No: "De vurderte alle kunstverket som sto foran dem, hvordan hver del virket som utfylt sin plass i det endelige bildet.En: They all considered the artwork standing before them, how every part seemed to fill its place in the final picture.No: Sindre så på sin familie, og ett nyfunnet perspektiv vokste i ham.En: Sindre looked at his family, and a newfound perspective grew within him.No: Uforutsigbarheten sammen med Magnus' spillfekteri og Ingrids stille støtte hadde gjort dagen til noe helt spesielt.En: The unpredictability, along with Magnus's antics and Ingrid's quiet support, had made the day something truly special.No: Til slutt bestemte de seg for å la "kunstverket" bli stående en stund.En: In the end, they decided to let the "artwork" remain for a while.No: Det ble en påminnelse for Sindre om å omfavne familielivet med alle sine uventede øyeblikk.En: It became a reminder for Sindre to embrace family life with all its unexpected moments.No: I det lyse sommerværet smilte Sindre.En: In the bright summer weather, he smiled.No: Han hadde ikke bare bygget et møbel, han hadde skapt minner.En: He had not only built a piece of furniture, but he had also created

From the 16th century onward, Denmark and Sweden increased their efforts to assert control over northern Scandinavia, a territory where few Scandinavians had ever gone, and even fewer lived. But that doesn't mean the region was uninhabited. The Sami people lived there, and as the Norwegians, Swedes and Finns moved north, the Sami way of life came under threat.

Forty-Eighth Episode: I'll be joined again by my wife, Anne. She's the founder of The ArtFitters, an interior decorating and design firm. She re-imagines ordinary spaces (residential, commercial, historical, or institutional) to create the extraordinary — beautiful, organized, functional, and comfortable — through adaptive re-use and creative utilization. At an early age, she found herself drawing house plans, enjoying visits to furniture stores, and continually re-staging her bedroom. At age eight, she was more interested in picking out wallpaper, re-upholstering furniture, and re-decorating rooms than going out to play. In her professional life, the scopes of her projects grew larger. Her exposure to styles, materials, and furnishing became more broad. With more than 20 years of experience behind her, Anne is a visually inventive conceptual thinker who always sees the big picture. Because it informs her work, Anne made time for art. She had instruction in sculpting, pottery, Norwegian folk art, wood carving, dress, jewelry, and interior design. She studied painting at the Borgo Rinascimento International School of Art in Farnesi, Italy, and with numerous artists. We recently participated in a RoundTable 360˚ session, led by Anne, the topic of which was, Art as Space: Are You and Your Space Playing Nice With Each Other? We sincerely hope you'll join us.

Nearly 150 days into President Trump's second term, the outlook for wind energy in the United States - particularly offshore wind - is increasingly bleak. Trump had pledged to end offshore wind development, and now the House Ways and Means Committee is proposing a phase-out of tax credits for renewables by 2031 - a move that would severely impact an already struggling wind sector (over on our sister podcast Energy Gang, we discuss the bill and what it means for renewables – check out that episode once you're finished here).Only three offshore wind projects have come online in US waters, with 4 GW currently under construction. In 2024, total wind installations reached a ten-year low at just 5.2 GW. By contrast, Europe has surged ahead, having built 35 GW of offshore wind capacity - ten times the US total – emphasising the stark differences in policy and financing frameworks.Still, there are glimmers of hope: President Trump recently lifted a stop-work order on a $5 billion offshore wind farm off the coast of New York, following lobbying from Governor Kathy Hochul. The project, led by Norwegian company Equinor, is expected to power 500,000 homes by 2027. However, with developer confidence sinking, experts warn that the stop-start nature of US policy continues to undermine long-term momentum in the sector. To forecast the next few years for wind in the US, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez – principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie – is joined by analyst Stephen Maldonado. They explore the policy and technology that's holding back deployment of offshore wind in the US.Plus, looking across the Atlantic to Europe, Sylvia talks to WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson, about the financing frameworks for wind in Europe.Sylvia, Stephen and Giles talk through the lessons for developers and financers: with uncertainty around tax credits and shifting policies, there may be a shift in resources to more advanced projects, putting early-stage ones on hold. Repowering old wind turbines is an option too; Giles explains how. And making use of domestic supply chain strengths is key – compared to solar, wind has more domestic supply chain support.Follow the show wherever you're listening to it now, and tell us what you think, we're on X and Bluesky @interchangeshowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The lady in the airplane seat next to me was from Norway. And I knew she had experienced something I needed to know about - winter months with very long nights and summer months with very long days. With our Native American team planning some major summer outreach among Native young people in Alaska at that point, I was especially interested in what our days would be like up there. My neighbor from Norway made the answer very clear - they'd be endless! She said that even after all the years living there, she could never sleep much in those northern days where there is virtually no dark. I thought, "O-o-o, it should be a lot of fun getting our team to sleep at night, when there is no night." But then I was curious to know about those December days when we have only about nine hours or so of daylight. She told me about a time when it was, in her words, "almost always dark" where she lives. It's hard for me to imagine weeks where you basically never see the light of the sun. It's not hard for me to imagine the way my Norwegian neighbor said many people feel during that time - really depressed. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "When It's Dark All the Time." A long, depressing darkness. You don't have to live in the North Country to know what darkness like that feels like. I mean you can feel it in your heart. It may have been winter inside your soul for a long time - maybe concealed from others. You've got this smile, this really busy life, but it's still dark inside most of the time. Maybe it's the guilt of past mistakes you've made that has brought on the long winter. Or just this nagging sense of worthlessness that goes way back, or a chronic despair over the pain of your past or maybe the meaninglessness of the present, or it could be the darkness might be summed up in one increasingly, desperate word - loneliness. But whatever the cause, this heaviness inside, this relentless darkness has been there long enough. The end of a long, long night can begin with a hope-filled promise made by Jesus Christ - who has never made a promise He did not keep. It's our word for today from the Word of God in John 8:12, "Jesus said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" Jesus promises that if you belong to Him, if you stay close to Him, He will lead you out of the darkness that no one else has been able to dispel. And that's the beginning of the end of your long, dark winter in your soul. But only Jesus can replace your darkness with what He called "the light of life." Why? Because our problem really isn't the darkness. Near the North Pole in winter, the problem is that the sun doesn't shine there. Our problem isn't ultimately the darkness of our loneliness or our despair. It's the absence of the Light! We were created to live in the light of a love-relationship with our Creator, which we have lost by running our lives our way instead of His way. In God's words, "Your sins have separated you from your God." (Isaiah 59:2) That separation could only be healed by the death penalty for your sin being erased. And that's what was going on when Jesus Christ was bleeding and dying on a cross. He was voluntarily paying for your sin, which is the ultimate cause of the darkness in your soul. And the forgiveness, the peace, and the light that He died to give you becomes yours when you tell Him you're trusting Him to be your Savior from your sin. If you do that, Jesus will shed His light on every dark stretch you ever walk, including the darkest stretch of all, when one day you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Why don't you open your heart to Jesus today right where you are? It's been dark long enough. Tell Him, "Jesus, I'm yours." If you really want to know that you've begun this relationship, that's why our website is there. Check it out today! It's ANewStory.com. This wonderful promise of God will be all about you. It says, "God has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves" (Colossians 1:13).

Your host, Allen Hall, shares the renewable industry news you may have missed. Allen Hall: Leading off the week, there's a leadership change at a major European energy company. As Templeman is stepping down as CEO of Dutch Energy firm, Eneco on August 1st. Templeman is leaving to become the new chief executive of lighting company, signify in September. Eneco says Kees Jan Rameau will serve as interim CEO starting July 4th. The company's board has already started searching for a permanent replacement. Templeman joined an Eneco as CEO in July of 2020. The supervisory board chair Mel Kroon says Templeman led the successful launch of the company's one planet plan before Eneco. Templeman held senior positions at Shell across [00:01:00] Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Over in Poland, energy companies have closed one of the largest renewable energy deals in European history. Norwegian firm, Equinor, and Polish company, Polenergia, have secured 6 billion euros in financing for two offshore wind projects. That's about $6.8 billion. The companies say it's the largest project finance deal in Poland's energy history. The Baltic two and Baltic three Wind Farms will feature 100 turbines with a combined capacity of 1.4 gigawatts. Polenergia, CEO Adam Purwin says they have secured financing from around 30 institutions. He says The company's obtained exceptionally favorable terms despite challenging market conditions, construction has already begun. Onshore marine operations will start next year. The wind farms should begin full commercial operation in 2028, and they'll provide power to more than 2 million [00:02:00] Polish households. And Irish citizens are showing strong support for wind energy development. A new national survey by Wind Energy Ireland found 80% of the public supports wind energy development, 62% back having a wind farm in the local area. The survey found people support wind energy because it offers more affordable electricity and reduces carbon emissions. Energy independence was also a key motivator. CEO. Noel Cunniffe says, Irish people know wind power is the leading solution to rising energy costs and climate change. He says, wind power is already helping reduce electricity prices and create jobs. 75% of those surveys support offshore wind energy. 82% recognize its role in securing Ireland's energy supply. Research shows Ireland's offshore wind farms could generate 38 billion euros for the Irish economy by 2050. And American clean energy investment continues to surge. The American [00:03:00] Clean Power Association says developers installed 7.4 gigawatts of new solar, wind and storage capacity in the first quarter. That represents $10 billion in domestic investment. The trade group says it was the second strongest start to a year on record. Battery storage achieved record first quarter installations surpassing 30 gigawatts of total capacity nationwide. The development pipeline grew 12% to reach 184 gigawatts. That represents $328 billion in potential project investment. CEO. Jason Grumet says, clean power is shovel-ready at scale. He says the industry has a technology. Investment capital and workforce needed. Grumet warns that the greatest threat to reliable energy is an unreliable political sys...

participating.No: De kastet sine stemmer og gikk tilbake ut i den friske vårregnet, som om favnet av en ny forståelse og med en følelse av samfunn.En: They cast their votes and went back out into the

Dugan Director: Joseph Pevney IMDb Rating: 7.5/10 In The Empire Builders, Walnut Grove buzzes with excitement over a new railroad depot, promising jobs and growth. However, the Minneapolis and Western Railroad, led by Spencer Hollingsworth, plans to seize farmers' lands, including Almanzo Wilder's and John Carter's, via eminent domain. Initial enthusiasm sours as the town realizes the cost: evictions and a rowdy railroad camp complete with a saloon. Almanzo and Carter, backed by Isaiah Edwards, resist, facing threats from railroad enforcer Wilkins. Laura rallies the women to join the men in a standoff at Carter's farm, while surveyor Hobson proposes rerouting the tracks through Tracy. The community's united front forces Hollingsworth to relent, sparing Walnut Grove. The episode, a blend of drama and defiance, showcases the power of collective resistance against corporate overreach, with Laura's fiery leadership and Carter's final triumph underscoring the town's love for their land. Some Quotes I Chose “Money won't buy happiness, but you can look for it in fancier places.” “Property is property. What we own is what we work and sweat for.” “What we own is a part of us.” “This land… It's part of us now.” “I'm a lot tougher than you think, Mr. Wilder.” “This is our land, and we fight for it together.” The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.
