I feel like I just had a quarter-life crisis. I can't be having a midlife crisis already. At least Scandanavian synthesizers are cheaper than Alfa Romeos, although not by as much as you might think.Soundtrack"deep sea leaks" by Google Earth, James Riotto, and John Vanderslice, Street View (2024)"White Plains" bu John Vanderslice, Cellar Door (2004)"Scorpio Rising" by John Vanderslice and the Mountain Goats, Moon Colony Bloodbath (2009)"green grid" by Google Earth, James Riotto, and John Vanderslice, Street View (2024)"How the West Was Won by John Vanderslice, Dagger Beach (2013)

Assistant Coach Adrian Bias returns to the bench for this Tako-hosted game. In this episode, the players are immediately put on edge with an all-golf first quarter; we discuss Scandanavian name origins, and how "it's gonna have a lot of vowels in it"; Scott and Adrian create the first all-athlete boy band, The Really New Edition; we play a quarter that is somehow five different quarter styles; and ultimately, we don't like change. #markthatcher #africa #kennyrogers #dollyparton #juvenile #thechallenge https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Forget college campuses, the real culture war will take place next week in Malmo, Sweden, where the Eurovision Song Contest (otherwise known as the "gay olympics") takes place. We are joined by sports journalist and Eurovision rainman Sharon Davidovitch to talk about how Israel will fare this year in the glitter soaked battlefield - even if you know nothing of what is as big as the Superbowl across the pond, this episode offers fascinating takes about the Intersection between gepolotics and culture.  We talk about why Israel had to change the name of it's song this year or risk being kicked out, how Dana International blew the world's mind in 1998 as the first transgender winner (from Israel!), why the 1983 outfits of the Israeli team were a big F U to Germany, how we determine who is antisemitic based on how they vote, and a little about what it's like to play and cover sports on behalf of Israel abroad. Come for the music, stay for the weird insights into Scandanavian incestuous voting habits. Show notes:Israel's banger 2024 entry, Hurricane by Eden Golan (previously titled "October rain")Israeli contestant warned to stay in her hotel room in SwedenIsraels' first win, A-Ba-Ni-Bi (Paris, 1978)Israel's second win, Hallelujah (Jerusalem, 1979)Israel's third win, Diva (Birminghamm 1998)Israel's fourth win, Toy (Lisbon, 2018)Honorary mention - "Chai" (Munich, 1983)Spotify playlist of Israeli Eurovision entriesSharon's TwitterSharon's website (Hebrew)   Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.comEmail us your questions askajewpod@gmail.com ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Want to help us grow?

I never thought the previous government's fees-free education policy made sense.  I'm on the record from the get-go. I didn't think it was a well-designed or considered policy. At an annual cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, the policy was expensive. I felt there were other priorities. The more cynically minded might even suggest that fast-tracking a fees-free education policy was a decision made with an impending election in mind, rather than the stated educational outcomes.   The goals of the policy were to increase access for students from poorer backgrounds, Māori and Pasifika, and to improve educational outcomes. But short of a Scandanavian-style tax system, I actually thought New Zealand's interest-free student loan scheme is pretty good. It strikes a fair balance and the barriers to access are low. And for every poorer student brought in by fees-free and who otherwise might have missed out on higher education, there were obviously dozens if not hundreds or thousands of middle-class kids who would've gone to university anyway, and now enjoyed an additional subsidy.   Instead of a blanket fees-free policy, the previous government could have considered so many alternatives:  - Increasing scholarships for students from poorer backgrounds, or for students from low-decile schools.  - Re-introducing the 10% bulk payment incentive to student loans, whereby anyone who paid off more than $1000 in a voluntary payment, had ten percent of that payment matched by the government.  - Means testing first year fees-free students.  - Making the third year of an undergraduate degree fees-free, so students were incentivised to finish.  - Greater assistance to students with cost-of-living support.  Instead, although they held off making additional study years fees-free, the previous government stuck with their scheme. And the results have been damning.    The total number of fees-free students has been decreasing. From the get-go, overall enrolments fell short of what was promised. Fees-free students have been dropping out. What's more, the New Zealand Herald revealed over summer that the number of decile 1 first-year students has halved since the scheme began. The number of first year decile 10 students has increased by 40%. So much for improving access for students from poorer backgrounds.   I was surprised National stuck with the scheme during the election campaign. But now at least, the government is moving to change the policy to make the final year fees-free, as per New Zealand First's election policy.   I note the Tertiary Education Commission acknowledged this week there was no discernible evidence the policy has increased access to low-socio economic groups. The policy has failed in its stated objectives. It's a nice-to-have, not a need-to-have. It deserves to go. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Martin, Mathias & Mads Klarborg are the sons of Etly Klarborg, founder & designer of Klarborg, a Danish design brand with the primary goal of spreading joy, happiness, and hygge through its whimsical cast of characters. On today's episode, we discuss:  Growing up Klarborg: The trials & triumphs of working for a family owned & operated company– how this helps achieve business objectives, how it (sometimes) gets in the way, and what each Klarborg brother values most about their role within the Klarborg empire.  Holiday 365: What it means to work for a company that's primarily focused around the holiday season; how this impacts business strategy & planning throughout the year, and what the Klarborg brothers see as their primary advantage to working for a company that's rooted in togetherness,  celebration, love & cherishing the  holiday spirit above all else. (I'll be honest, I'm imagining their work life a bit like Santa's Workshop…) Hygge for Improving Mental Health: What this word really means, what it does NOT mean, and how it's been commercially applied to-date in the United States. Plus, how the concept has evolved in the U.S. for American brands &  consumers, and what we're getting right (and wrong) about bringing this concept to life with more authenticity  in our everyday lives. Exporting Hygge: How do you export a mindset/vibe/feeling/practice that's built around community in an increasingly digital world? The Klarborg brothers debunk hygge myths & discuss the concept of exporting Danish wellness for U.S. consumers.

There were warm Scandanavian words of friendship, and of course the obligatory meat pies, for Prime Minister Chris Hipkins during a 24 hour visit to Sweden. But while he was thanking the Swedes for helping to get New Zealand's free trade deal with the EU over the line, the wheels were in motion in the same city for a major breakthrough on the eve of the NATO Leaders' Summit in Lithuania. Within the hour of Chris Hipkins touching down in Vilnius, the NATO Secretary General announced the way was clear for Sweden to join the military alliance after talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Our political editor, Jane Patterson, has the story from Stockholm.

Recognised by many as one of the best bands in the Power Metal/Symphonic Metal realm, Scandanavian metal outfit Stratovarius are nothing if not consistent.Over 16 albums the band have delivered music of the highest quality, influencing countless others and providing a musical outlet for many more.Labelled a "blistering comeback from one of heavy metal's most seminal band's", Stratovarius' new album Survive - which will be released on September 23 - reinforces those claims, delivering a sweepingly grandioise collection of tracks conveying themes of struggle, defiance, hope and victory.Keyboardis Jens Johansson sat down with HEAVY earlier this week to talk about the release."I feel pretty okay," he replied when pressed on his mood going into Friday's release. "The thing is when you do something like this you never quite know what people will think but some of the reviews have been okay, even some of the traditionally grumpy ones are coming out okay (laughs). Yesterday we did this listening party where fans could listen to the whole album and chat and that was all very positive so let's see. You never really know."Listening partys serve the dual purpose of also allowing fans to comment on and give their opinion, something which Johansson agrees is better sometimes that an anonymous critic."That thing is still open," he said, "you can go look at the chat and the whole album is on there if you want to hear it in advance."In the full interview, Jens also talks more about the musical direction of Survive, the singles released, the core message of the album, how it differs from previous releases, the band's strong environmental and global stance, the writing and recording process of each album, longevity and more.Although conceeding Stratovarius will always deliver output true to their roots, Johansson also feels the inevitable passing of time will see more modern influences creep into this and future releases."It's kind of continuing in the same tradition," he measured. "I mean, we've been doing this a long time. I've been with the band 25 years and it's all been melodic metal, but I would say it is probably a bit more modern than it was 20 years ago because we have some new members that have different influences. This idea of having melodic metal, that's still there, but it's updated in a way. I don't know if this is going to be bad or good but you will always have those old fans that were there 30 years ago and they inevitably want the band to go back more towards that stuff and then, of course, you have younger fans who would like you to move forward a bit and become harder. I'm happy with the melodicness and the metalness of the album."

Governments worldwide are implementing emissions targets to improve air quality, with electric vehicles EVs Uptake mentioned as a key solution to reducing pollution. The automotive experts at Vanarama have done research to uncover whether EV uptake affects air quality in Europe. Vanarama analysed the 50 most populated European cities, sourcing data on total passenger cars and the proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) to calculate the number of EVs per 100,000 of each city's population. These figures were then scored alongside air quality stats to give a score out of 100. The higher the score, the stronger the correlation between the uptake of electric cars and air quality. Top 10 European cities for EV uptake to improve air quality. Unsurprisingly, the city with the highest score of 96 is Oslo in Norway, a country which has been hailed for its wide-ranging policies transforming perceptions of EVs.Oslo's air quality also ranked well at 7.5 g/m3 – good enough for the fifth-best figure in Vanarama's research. The UN Environment Programme reports that EVs have helped reduce CO2 emissions in the Scandanavian city by 35%, improving air quality and protecting public health. Consequently, Norway has the lowest risk of premature deaths due to air pollution. Norway is leaps and bounds above the rest of Europe when it comes to registering new EVs, with there being 11,129 per 100,000 people. EVs also account for more than a fifth (21.9%) of the country's total cars. By comparison, London has only 1,676 per 100,000 of its population. Norway's strategy to accelerate the uptake of EVs was to make them affordable enough to purchase through lower taxes while increasing taxes on traditional cars. In second is Swedish city Goeteborg, with a score of 95, closely followed by Stockholm in fourth place with 94 points. The Swedish capital boasts 3,001 EVs per 100,000 people and air quality of 6 g/m3, putting it in the top 10% of countries. Emissions from combustion engines are steadily declining, and overall, total emissions in Sweden have lowered across almost all sectors, primarily in the transport sector. However, most of Sweden's pollution comes from industry. Sweden is continuing the Scandinavian trend of EV uptake through several innovative legislations that go beyond subsidies for the purchase of a plug-in or fully electric, for example, EV drivers get free public parking across many cities and are even able to use buses lanes. While countries like the UK have been plunged into an energy crisis, Sweden's low electricity prices have helped encourage EV purchases – with prices being some of the lowest in Europe. Glasgow, sharing 3rd place with Stockholm, has a score of 94, with British cities Birmingham (88), Nottingham (87), and Sheffield (85) following closely behind. Interestingly, Glasgow had the lowest air pollution out of all 50 cities with 5.6 g/m3. In 2017, the World Health Organisation reported that Glasgow was more polluted than London, however following the introduction of the Low Emission Zone the following year, air quality improved. This only applied to local bus services, so when it is rolled out to all vehicles in 2023, there is expected to be an even bigger improvement in air quality. The UK is experiencing a growing adoption of EVs, with March this year showing the highest volume of electric registrations ever recorded in one month – an increase of 79% from the previous year. However, in terms of air pollution, the UK, in general, is failing to meet legal limits of nitrogen dioxide pollution, largely generated by vehicles, in other cities and areas. According to research, London is 1.9 times over the legal limit for air pollution, followed by South Wales and Eastern England. One of the main reasons for this is increasing levels of private car ownership and traditional vehicles.

Today's episode of Research Like a Pro is an answer to a listener's question about an immigrant ancestor who came from Norway to North Dakota in the 1880s. We invited Jenny Hansen, AG, who is an expert in Scandinavian research to come help us answer this question. We discuss name changes, sources to consult in the U.S., what to expect when looking at immigration records, and records to consult in Scandinavia.  Links My Favorite Ancestor – website and blog of Jenny Hansen, Accredited Genealogist RLP 46 – Scandinavian Research with Jenny Hansen, AG FamilySearch Wiki for Norway Emigration and Immigration Research Like a Pro Resources Research Like a Pro: A Genealogist's Guide book by Diana Elder with Nicole Dyer on Amazon.com - https://amzn.to/2x0ku3d Research Like a Pro eCourse - independent study course -  https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-e-course/ RLP Study Group - upcoming group and email notification list - https://familylocket.com/services/research-like-a-pro-study-group/ Research Like a Pro with DNA Resources Research Like a Pro with DNA: A Genealogist's Guide to Finding and Confirming Ancestors with DNA Evidence book by Diana Elder, Nicole Dyer, and Robin Wirthlin - https://amzn.to/3gn0hKx Research Like a Pro with DNA eCourse - independent study course -  https://familylocket.com/product/research-like-a-pro-with-dna-ecourse/ RLP with DNA Study Group - upcoming group and email notification list - https://familylocket.com/services/research-like-a-pro-with-dna-study-group/ Thank you Thanks for listening!

I am a minimalist.I'm not afraid to admit it. Loud and proud. I'm not ashamed. Not wanting to play to gender stereotypes, I do however wonder if my apartment is decorated in the sparse way in which only a man without a family is happy to live.Truth be told, I just don't buy stuff. I prefer to spend my money on experiences than things. If you've been listening to my show for a while, you'll know it took me a year or two to even buy a couch. I had a couple of armchairs, I figured. That was plenty. After all, you can only park your butt in one place at once!Anyway, nothing brings your interior design choices under close scrutiny like a visit from the property stagers. In anticipation for maybe wanting a bit more space for kids in the future – don't get too excited yet!! – I've put my apartment on the market. And knowing that my tastes aren't everyone's, I got the property stagers over for a bit of a zhoosh.It must be a delicate business being a property stager. Think about it. You're brought into people's homes to make things look a bit nicer, and the harder you work to improve a space, the more you're inadvertently telling the client that actually they don't have very good taste. A good eye is important. But tact, is even more so.My place is partially staged which means it wasn't a total bombsite beforehand, but I was frankly stunned when I saw the bags of stuff the stagers were bringing in.“Yeeeeah,” said the woman in charge.“Usually we're decluttering places, but to be honest, at your place it's kind of the opposite.”Huh.What can I tell you?Well, apparently dried flowers are in. They really are quite beautiful actually, and given I've managed to nurse a nice collection of house plants, there are now more pots and vases at my place than any other point in my life.What else? Well, this is going to shock you: coffee tables are actually fantastic. I've not owned a coffee table for more than a decade! Turns out there's a reason they're popular. Sometimes you don't know what you're missing until it's sitting in the middle of your living room with a TV remote and a book on Scandanavian architecture.But here's the big takeaway for me: cushions. What the hell? I used to have two cushions. I thought that was bordering on excessive. Now, I have sixteen. Sixteen in a two bedroom apartment! I'm surprised there's room to move! And what are you supposed to do with the cushions on your bed when it comes time to sleep? Just throw them on the ground? Is that what people do? Just chuck ‘em on the ground?Yes, for those of us whose interior choices have always tended towards the hard end of ‘less is more,' it can be a confronting experience to have someone with taste come in and re-jig your home. The thing that shocked this minimalist the most about the dried flowers and the cushions and the coffee table?I don't even know who I am anymore: It looks really, really good.

People on the left look to Scandanavian programs as the best way to help families, while people on the right argue we'd do better to model ourselves after Hungary. But Patrick Brown from the Ethics and Public Policy Center wrote a piece arguing for a new, uniquely American social safety net.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Number 28 on the list is Dark Recollections by the Swedish band Cancer. This record has a distinctly Scandanavian bent, in that it shares a lot of similarities with hardcore from the region and era as well. Check it out, especially if you love d-beat and crust music.

In Part 2 of our interview with Sonya Weisshappel, the CEO and founder of Seriatim professional organizers and inventory managment experts tells stories from her 23 years of helping people assess, get rid of and donate their stuff. Often precipitated by a crisis or major life transition such as a death in the family or decision to downsize or retire, people confront their belongings and often don't know where to turn. Sonya's mantra is know what you have, and once you know what you have you can determine its value. We discuss the importance of having an inventory of household items when bringing caregivers and home health aides into the home to care for elderly relatives.  On the lighter side, Sonya talks about confronting the dusty shoes in the closet and how "stuff" comes to overtake your space. The Scandanavian idea of "death cleaning"--or decluttering along the way rather than waiting till the end. Sonya also speaks highly of Brené Brown's book Atlas of the Heart and the importance of not judging people's styles of collecting and decorating.  Sonya grew up in New York City where she started her organizing company, Seriatim, in 1999. Proudly dyslexic, Sonya founded her business in order to avoid writing a resume and now, almost two decades later, she and her Seriatim team have earned themselves a reputation as consummate Chaos Whisperers. In 2017, Sonya became the first organizer to be accepted into the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program. She is currently President of the New York Council of Relocation Professionals (NYCORP). In her spare time, Sonya organizes her husband, three children, and rescue dog, Finn.You can reach Sonya at https://www.seriatim.net/  CREDITSHost and creator: Christi CassidyContact: christi@movingalongpodcast.comArtwork by Phyllis BusellMusic by Eve's Blue.

Vanessa Helmick started her Maine interior design business, Fiore Interiors, using a unique approach: she ignored all of her well-intentioned advisors, and made decisions that were best for her. She avoided networking, she moved out of the city of Portland, and she chose clients that she liked and who liked her aesthetic. Vanessa's aesthetic, one that she describes as “Scandi Beach,” is a combination of Scandanavian minimalism and a heavily textured coastal experience.  With each of her projects, she incorporates art into her design and engages with her clients to choose signature pieces that will enhance their daily lives.  Vanessa's own daily life has taken her to Yarmouth where she is raising her daughter, and their new pup, minutes away from her new storefront, located near the bustling boatyards of the Royal River. You'll enjoy getting to know more about Vanessa's personal and professional style on today's episode of Radio Maine with Dr. Lisa Belisle. Thank you for joining our Radio Maine community.

Ancient history of Russia is intriguing. Recorded history of Russia before Christianity is obscure. Available information states that Russia was founded(?) In 882 AD. ‘The traditional beginning of Russian history is 862 A.D. Kievan Rus‘, the first united East Slavic state, was founded in 882. The state adopted Christianity from the Byzantine Empire in 988, beginning with the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Kievan Rus' ultimately disintegrated as a state because of the Mongol invasion of Rus' in 1237–1240 and the death of about half the population of Rus'. (History of Russia ) ‘The early history of Russia, like those of many countries, is one of migrating peoples and ancient kingdoms. In fact, early Russia was not exactly “Russia,” but a collection of cities that gradually coalesced into an empire. I n the early part of the ninth century, as part of the same great movement that brough the Danes to England and the Norsemen to Western Europe, a Scandanavian people known as the Varangians crossed the Baltic Sea and landed in Eastern Europe. The leader of the Varangians was the semilegendary warrior Rurik, who led his people in 862 to the city of Novgorod on the Volkhov River. Whether Rurik took the city by force or was invited to rule there, he certainly invested the city. From Novgorod, Rurik's successor Oleg extended the power of the city southward. In 882, he gained control of Kiev, a Slavic city that had arisen along the Dnepr Riveraround the 5th century. Oleg's attainment of rule over Kiev marked the first establishment of a unified, dynastic state in the region. Kiev became the center of a trade route between Scandinavia and Constantinople, and Kievan Rus', as the empire came to be known, flourished for the next three hundredyears.' Source :http://missinglink.ucsf.edu/lm/russia_guide/historyofrussia.htm#ancient It is also stated that Russia was founded when the Eastern Slavs and Finnish-Ugraic People. It is also stated that Russia was founded when the Eastern Slavs and Finnish-Ugraic People.To me this seems to be a contradiction. The Uyghurs were present much, much earlier than the time assigned here. The same time frame may be assigned Eastern Slavics. Available archeological evidence indicates the presence of an advanced civilization in Russia. 1. Narada Mountain in Russia. ‘ Georgiev illustrates that in 1927 a detachment of geologists “discovered” the highest mountain in the Urals. The mountain was called Narada by the local population, and interestingly the ancient Indian epics describe the great sage Narada as living in the north. But since it was the 10thanniversary of the October Revolution, the geologists decided to mark the event and rename the mountain as Narodnoy – or People. And that's what it is now called in all geographic references and on all maps.” ( https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/narada-mountain-in-russia-urals-narodnaya/) 2.Arkaim Rig vedic Mandala city in Russia. ‘ They realized that its lay-out, the ground-plan of Arkaim, is related to the Mandala principle, a square inside a circle – one of the basic sacred symbols of Buddhist philosophy. The word Mandala is translated as a circle or disk. In the ancient Rig-Veda writings, where it has been first described, the word has a set of values: a wheel, a ring, the country, space, society, gathering. The symbolic meaning of a Mandala is understood all over the world as a model of the Universe, even of the entire cosmos, where the two most important principles present in our Universe are represented in the form of a circle and a square. Arkaim, with its dwellings, having adjoining rooms, might possibly represent the “wheel of time”, where every aspect is defined by the previous one and in turn, defines the next one. https://ramanisblog.in/2017/02/17/kaikeyi-born-in-russia-world-during-ramayana-part-3/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

In this episode, Edmund Morris speaks to me from the future! — from Perth, Australia a day ahead of my US west coast time zone. A market systems and tourism consultant with deep experience in the country of Jordan who, since this conversation was recorded, has launched Equator Analytics, a consulting firm that uses data analytics for sustainable tourism development. One of the widest ranging discussions to date on Airrows on Air (because Edmund has such a broad set of interests and fascinating experiences!) we cover topics both dense and fluffy: traveling through Syria as a young college graduate, assembling the data needed to calculate the number of jobs created by adventure travel in a country, why Jordan is a great place to learn how to dive, the cultural mashup that occurs when a Brit weds a Jordanian, how a lack of economic measurement systems for non-mainstream types of tourism results in a misunderstanding of the varying impacts of different types of tourism, how the world's leading expert in Scandanavian medieval studies (Edmund's mum!) is supporting work on his new book, his project to quantify the impact of the world's largest cruise ship on the rainforest, and of course …the state of climate action and global warming in places Edmund has worked and played. **Excuse us please, repeated mention is made of a person named ‘Shannon' — that would be Shannon Stowell, President of the Adventure Travel Trade Association. “Carbon removal just hadn't crossed my radar because it's so nascent in terms of scaling. As I started to dive into the numbers though, unlike carbon offsetting, it gives me a lot of hope.” — Edmund Mentioned: WANA Institute Adventure Travel Local Analytics System Caroline Bremner, Euromonitor International WTTC Nori Edmund's Playlist: Jurassic Five: Concrete Schoolyard Dave Brubeck: Take 5 Floating POints Ensemble - Live on KEXP Caribou: Can't Do Without Four Tet: Daughter Nujabes: Reflection Eternal Quarteto Em Cy: Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser
