How can architects leverage their lateral thinking beyond traditional design practice to drive value in construction technology, entrepreneurship, and business leadership?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee explores the power of alternative career paths in the AEC industry and how architectural training prepares designers for executive leadership outside traditional practice. Evelyn sits down with Daron Pardine, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at Primera Works, a technology company focused on asset intelligence for the physical world, combining reality capture, data processing, and digital intelligence to create verified records of physical assets. Its services include LiDAR documentation, BIM models, CAD drawings, digital twins, and 360° visual records for owners and enterprises. Daron shares his journey from an architectural engineering background to leading operations across mega-construction projects and emerging technology companies.Daron reflects on growing up in West Virginia in a family of makers, combining an early aptitude for math, science, and art into an architectural engineering degree at Fairmont State before earning his Master of Architecture at Virginia Tech. Graduating into the Great Recession, he began his career at Spectrum Design and Studios Architecture before a deep curiosity about industry economics, specifically where project money comes from, led him to New York City and the real estate development side. Daron then spent nine years at Turner Construction, managing Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), BIM, and field operations on projects exceeding $2.1 billion, followed by a role at Hexagon, the Swedish software and sensors conglomerate.The conversation dives into what it takes to transition from design to business execution, highlighting the critical shift from endless design iteration to firm, decisive action. Daron unpacks the operational realities of co-founding a startup, managing the heavy cognitive load of entrepreneurship, and addressing the massive data gaps that building owners face regarding their existing facilities. He advocates for architects to recognize their immense, undervalued skill set in lateral problem-solving, urging more practitioners to take seats at the business table while keeping humanistic values at the center of technological advancement."Architects are by large extremely undervalued and much, much more capable than they give themselves credit for. The profession gives you a skill set and a versatility in the broader market that you should start applying." - Daron PardineThis episode serves as a powerful reminder that an architectural education equips professionals with an exceptional toolkit for adaptive problem-solving across the broader built environment. By embracing curiosity, taking risks, and applying spatial thinking to business challenges, designers can redefine their value and expand their influence far beyond the drafting board.Guest:Daron Pardine is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at Primera Works, a multidisciplinary reality capture firm that utilizes advanced scanning tools, software, and VDC workflows to deliver BIM models, drawings, and spatial analytics for architects, owners, and constructors. Born and raised in West Virginia, Daron earned his Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering from Fairmont State University and his Master of Architecture from Virginia Tech. Over his career, he has managed VDC, MEP operations, and field supervision for Turner Construction on $2B+ mega-projects, served as a consultant for Hexagon, and led operations across construction tech and startup ventures.This episode is especially for you if: ✅ You are an architect or AEC professional curious about exploring alternative career paths in construction technology, real estate, or tech leadership.✅ You want to understand how skills developed in studio, like lateral thinking and complex synthesis, translate directly to business operations and entrepreneurship.✅ You are interested in reality capture, BIM modeling, and how "digital alchemy" solves critical data gaps for building owners and design teams.✅ You want practical advice on overcoming the fear of risk, stepping out of traditional practice, and managing the cognitive load of founding a startup.✅ You believe architects need to better communicate their value, step into business roles, and help shape the future of tech integration in AEC.What have you done to take action lately?

We have missed having Brekeriet sours on the store shelves. They made incredible sour beers. Most of the Swedish wild ale and sour ale breweries have flown away over the years. Thankfully a new local brewery has picked up the mantle and is taking off. Flying Guru has been around for a few years. They are moving away from other beer styles to focus more on farmhouse and wild ales. We tried the first two to hit systembolaget shelves. Verdande is a 6% farmhouse ale that blends three year-old wild ale from Brekeriet with their own wild ale aged on Gruner Veltliner and Gewurtraminer grapes. The results is a great beer to pair with any meal. Urd is a 7.6% ABV farmhouse ale that also blends three year-old Brekeriet wild ale with their own wild ale aged on Chardonnay grapes. It's light, fruity and an exciting new addition to the wild ale family. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #farmhouseale #wildale

have precise data and don't push ourselves too much."Sv: Johan log, men hans ögon gnistrade av äventyrslust.En: Johan smiled, but his eyes sparkled with adventure lust.Sv: "Jag vet, Elin.En: "I know, Elin.Sv: Men tänk om vi hittar något riktigt unikt längre bort?En: But what if we find something truly unique farther away?Sv: Vi borde försöka!"En: We should give it a try!"Sv: Den arktiska hösten

blåste en stark vind upp och täckte marken med ett tjockt lager av snö.En: Suddenly, a strong wind blew up and covered the ground with a thick layer of snow.Sv: Sikten blev dålig.En: Visibility became poor.Sv: Det enda ljudet var vinden och deras tunga andetag.En: The only sound was the wind and their heavy breaths.Sv: "Johan, detta är farligt," ropade Elin och drog upp sin halsduk.En: "Johan, this is dangerous," shouted Elin, pulling up her scarf.Sv: "Vi måste tillbaka!"En: "We have to go back!"Sv: Johan stod en stund tyst och funderade.En: Johan stood silently for a moment and pondered.Sv: Han insåg att Elin kanske hade rätt.En: He realized that Elin might be right.Sv: De var långt ifrån baslägret.En: They were far from the base camp.Sv: Men han såg också sitt mål så nära.En: But he also saw his goal so close.Sv: Respekten för Elins omdöme och säkerheten fick honom att tänka om.En: Respect for Elin's judgment and safety made him reconsider.Sv: "Okej, vi återvänder," sa han medan han

krävde ansträngning.En: Each step required effort.Sv: När de äntligen nådde lägret var både Johan och Elin utmattade men lättade.En: When they finally reached the camp, both Johan and Elin were exhausted but relieved.Sv: De satt sig vid bordet inuti tältet, nöjda med det de samlat trots allt.En: They sat down at the table inside the tent, satisfied with what they had collected despite everything.Sv: "Vi har fått mycket bra data," sa Elin leende medan hon skrev i sin bok.En: "We've gathered a lot of good data," said Elin smiling while she wrote in her book.Sv: Johan nickade, med en ny förståelse för samarbete och säkerhet.En: Johan nodded, with a new understanding of collaboration and safety.Sv: "Dina försiktiga instinkter är guld värda," erkände han.En: "Your cautious instincts are worth gold," he admitted.Sv: "Jag är glad att du är här."En: "I'm glad you're here."Sv: Elin skrattade.En: Elin laughed.Sv: "Och jag är glad att se att risker kan vara värda det ibland," sa hon.En: "And I'm glad to see that risks can be worth it sometimes," she said.Sv: Tillsammans såg de ut över den förvånansvärt vackra tundran, båda nöjda med den balans de hittat.En: Together they

Five years after her first appearance on Switched on Pop, Carly Rae Jepsen returns to the podcast to talk all things Day and Night, her latest album. Born out of Swedish disco, big emotion, and substantive life change – including becoming a wife and a mother – the double album is a tour through the organic and the synthetic, both in equal measure. For Charlie and Nate, this is a full circle moment, and along with discussing the record, the two talk to Jepsen about the origins of the show, her songwriting process, and what it means to be such an important champion of pop music.

Sweden's government tightened rules for citizenship earlier this year without transitional rules for people who had already applied. The new rules require eight years of residency instead of five for most applicants, and would-be citizens must now pass language and civics tests.The Migration Court in Malmö looked very closely recently at a case in which an applicant appealed for their right to be awarded citizenship according to the old rules. But the court ruled against the citizenship applicant in a blow to people who had waited in the queue and were hoping to become Swedish citizens under the rules that were in place at the time of application. Some hope was restored however when the judge told The Local's Richard Orange that an appeal to a higher court could succeed.In this week's episode you can hear an excerpt from the interview with Judge Löndahl we well as a studio discussion about the case and what happens next.Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Emma Löfgren and Richard Orange.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. Vancouver Whitecaps dropped two more points at home on Saturday in a 3-3 draw with D.C. United that was both entertaining and frustrating. Some great attacking play, some poor defensive play, and a team with 10 players out through international duty and injuries. We unpack the highs and lows coming out of the match, look at how the Whitecaps form across MLS is actually better than it might feel these past 10 games, and look at the main talking points from the weekend's action across the league, including the sacking of former Whitecaps head coach Marc Dos Santos at LAFC. We also round-up the action in the CPL, Forge FC Bobby Smyrniotis talks about adding experienced big-name players and how they've made it work within the salary cap, and delve into a very long international break that kicked off with Canada beating Chile in a feisty affair in Toronto. Music-wise, Scottish band Lung Leg wrap up their residency as our Artists of the Month, King of the Slums feature as our C86 era song, and Swedish band Dolkows feature in Wavelength.

Transcript:Sv: Johan stod i det gamla varuhuset och lyssnade till regnet som piskade ner utanför.En: Johan stood in the old department store, listening to the rain lashing down outside.Sv: Det var höst, och vinden fick löven att dansa bort över den fuktiga marken.En: It was autumn, and the wind made the leaves dance across the damp ground.Sv: Det var kallt, och Johan stoppade händerna i fickorna för att värma sig.En: It was cold, and Johan put his hands in his pockets to warm himself.Sv: Inne i varuhuset var det mörkt och dragigt, och dammet svävade i luften.En: Inside the department store, it was dark and drafty, and dust floated in the air.Sv: Allt omkring honom påminde om en tid som nästan glömts bort.En: Everything around him was a reminder of a time almost forgotten.Sv: Ingen kom hit längre, och det passade honom bra.En: No one came here anymore, and it suited him just fine.Sv: Johan hade varit brandman hela sitt liv, men när han nu var pensionerad, kände han sig ibland ensam.En: Johan had been a firefighter all his life, but now that he was retired, he sometimes felt lonely.Sv: Inne på det bortglömda varuhuset hade han en hemlig gömma med förnödenheter.En: Inside the forgotten department store, he had a secret stash of supplies.Sv: Han gick hit när han behövde tänka.En: He came here when he needed to think.Sv: Minnet av en misslyckad räddning hemsökte honom varje dag.En: The memory of a failed rescue haunted him every day.Sv: Han hade försökt rädda en person, men det hade varit för sent.En: He had tried to save a person, but it had been too late.Sv: Tyngden av den dagen bar han alltid med sig.En: The weight of that day he always carried with him.Sv: Plötsligt hörde han ett svagt läte.En: Suddenly, he heard a faint sound.Sv: Han följde ljudet

blekt och han andades tungt.En: His face was pale, and he was breathing heavily.Sv: Elin, som också var där, såg hjälplös ut och visste inte vad hon skulle göra.En: Elin, who was also there, looked

omedelbart.En: He knew it immediately.Sv: "Elin, ring efter hjälp!"En: "Elin, call for help!"Sv: ropade Johan, men han visste att ovädret kunde försena ambulansen.En: shouted Johan, but he knew the storm might delay the ambulance.Sv: Han hade inte mycket tid.En: He didn't have much time.Sv: Magnus behövde vård nu, men Johan saknade det mesta av sin utrustning.En: Magnus needed care now, but

hade tillgängligt och litade på sitt minne och sina kunskaper.En: He used what he had available and relied on his memory and skills.Sv: Regnet slog fortfarande mot taket, och minuterna kändes som timmar.En: The rain still pounded against the roof, and the minutes felt like hours.Sv: Hans händer darrade lite, men han fortsatte.En: His hands trembled slightly, but he continued.Sv: Just när Johan kände sig klar med proceduren hörde han distanta sirener.En: Just as Johan felt he was done with the procedure, he heard distant sirens.Sv: Hjälpen var äntligen på väg.En: Help was finally on the way.Sv: Han tittade på Magnus, som andades mer jämnt, och kände en våg av lättnad.En: He looked at Magnus, who was breathing more steadily, and felt a wave of relief.Sv: När ambulanspersonalen rusade in förstod Johan att han hade gjort allt han kunde och lyckats stabilisera Magnus.En: When the ambulance crew rushed in, Johan realized he had done everything he could and had managed to stabilize

life, even with simple means.Sv: Kanske kunde han förlåta sig själv nu, och kanske kunde han använda sin kunskap för att hjälpa fler.En: Perhaps he could forgive himself now, and maybe he could use his knowledge to help more people.Sv: Det kalla regnet kändes plötsligt uppfriskande, och Johan log tyst för sig själv.En: The cold rain suddenly felt refreshing, and Johan smiled quietly to himself.Sv: Han hade äntligen återfått sitt mod och sitt syfte.En: He had finally regained his courage and his purpose.

 Scientists made a stunning discovery – one that could change how we think about cancer treatment.For years, researchers studied chemotherapy patients, trying to figure out:Why do some people heal, while others don't?They examined everything:Cell structuresDiet and lifestyleFamily history and geneticsPrevious illnessesAge and genderDespite years of data, they found no common link among patients who survived – until they looked at the gut.The Answer: One Missing BacteriumThe breakthrough came down to a single microbe: Akkermansia muciniphila.If this bacterium was present in the patient's gut, recovery was far more likely.If it was missing, the patient was much more likely to die from cancer.Akkermansia is the first bacterium science has identified that directly supports the body's ability to fight cancer.Where Does Akkermansia Grow?This beneficial bacterium naturally lives in the human colon, but its population depends heavily on what you eat.Today, you can even buy Akkermansia as a probiotic supplement – but you can also feed the bacteria you already have with the right foods.Which Foods Grow Akkermansia?The following foods are scientifically shown to promote Akkermansia growth:Pomegranate (juice, seeds, or dried – all work)Cranberry (whole, juice, or dried)Chinese black vinegar (traditional, unpasteurized)Important: These foods must be unheated and unprocessed. Heat kills the beneficial compounds that feed Akkermansia. Fresh, raw, or freeze-dried forms are best.Why Some People Get Cancer – and Others Don'tHere's the reality:Every single day, your body produces between 10,000 and 30,000 cancer cells.That sounds scary – but it's completely normal.The difference is your immune system.A strong immune system recognizes and destroys these rogue cells before they can grow into tumors.A weakened immune system – due to poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, or gut imbalance – allows them to multiply.That's why a healthy lifestyle isn't just "good advice" – it's your first line of defense.Real-World Evidence: The Swedish StudyA long-term Swedish study followed 134 years of health data (across generations) and compared slim women to those with excess body fat.The result:Slim women had 3 times fewer cases of breast cancer than women who were overweight or obese.This isn't about appearance – it's about metabolic health, inflammation, and immune function, all of which are directly influenced by what you eat and how you live.The Bottom LineCancer cells appear daily – that's normal.Your immune system decides whether they grow or get destroyed.Akkermansia is a key ally in keeping your immune system sharp.Feed it with pomegranate, cranberry, and black vinegar – raw and unprocessed.Your lifestyle is your strongest weapon. The healthier you live, the smaller your cancer risk. As Dr. William Li explains in his research, what we eat directly influences our body's natural defense systems – including angiogenesis, immunity, and stem cell regeneration.My Video:  THIS Gut Bacteria Might Be The Real Cancer Cure https://youtu.be/Dgze-Oq8Mq0My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/THIS-Gut-Bacteria-Might-Be-The-Real-Cancer-Cure.mp3

Linköping FC midfielder Noelle Bond-Flasza sits down to discuss her path to Sweden and orchestrating the rebuild of Linköping FC in the Elitettan. Tenacious midfield engine and technical dynamo Noelle Bond-Flasza joins the podcast to share insider insights on her first professional contract, taking her game to the next level, Linköping's high-stakes race to return back to the top-flight of Swedish women's soccer, and entering a historic club at a unique turning point, becoming a part of the team's climb back to the pinnacle of European soccer. She shares what it meant to get an abrupt introduction to the international stage via a late invitation to the Jamaica U-20 National Team, training in a high-intensity environment before returning to campus. Given her historic final season as captain for the California Golden Bears, she shares how she learned to navigate elite pressure, conquer long-term injury setbacks, and the resilience advice she would give to her younger self. Noelle also talks about her evolution as a player, reflecting on her initial trial stint with the Utah Royals before completely unlocking her professional potential in Sweden, where she has been a model of world-class consistency, starting every single match and playing a staggering 90 minutes night in and night out. She takes us into the locker room to discuss the delicate balance of adjusting to the structural and physical defensive discipline of European club football, navigating the club searching process with a level head, and how her household's historic family soccer legacy, including her sister Dominique's legendary World Cup-qualifying penalty shootout goal for the Reggae Girlz. directly impacts her own senior international ambitions. Noelle shares why the Linköping FC project was the perfect step for her current career phase, the exact mindset required to thrive under lofty first-place-or-failure fan expectations, and the profound lessons of mental fortitude that altered how she views the game after transitioning from the collegiate ranks to Europe. Lastly, she shares what excites her about her first professional appearance and full 90-minute debut victory, what she believes it will take for the squad to achieve its modern goals while establishing the standard that their ceiling should be their floor, her short and long term goals for her career vision board, and so much more! This is the third part of our three-part series in collaboration with Linköping FC! Listen to part one with Linköping + Swedish international legend Jonna Andersson and Linköping FC's former head coach Charlie Mitchell here!

A seed investor at Novo Holdings would rather read your rough idea than your finished pitch deck.Most founders spend a year building the deck, forming the team and waiting until the story holds together. By the time it is ready the science has moved, the money has gone somewhere else, and nobody told them the fund they were preparing for creates companies out of raw material.Marie Schroeder is a Principal on the Seed Investments team at Novo Holdings, the investment company owned by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Before that she spent five years at Novo Nordisk in cardiovascular drug development. Before that, a doctorate at Oxford and research work in Toronto.Beginning with what a seed investor watches at the start of a year, the conversation becomes a practical guide to building and funding early biotech: the question her chief scientific officer put to every project until it hurt, what to do in the first hour after a negative readout, why the founder who discovered the science is often the wrong person to run the company, and how her team tracked one Swedish heart failure company for three years before a single risk cleared and the money moved.WHAT LISTENERS CAN EXPECT TO LEARNWhy defining what good looks like before the experiment runs decides whether a failed program gets funded twiceHow to break a plan into killer experiments so each tranche of money buys one specific answerWhat a board wants to hear on the day something fails, and how early it wants to hear itWhy team quality beats science quality in early biotech, argued on commercial groundsWhat a seed fund actually wants in a cold approach, and why a rejection is usually about timingBEST QUOTES(00:14:09) "Defining what good looks like before you start the experiment is absolutely paramount."(00:22:42) "The target failing is one of maybe five things that could have gone wrong."(00:52:36) "He only has time to give the negative feedback.

Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en krispig höstdag i Göteborgs Botaniska Trädgård.En: It was a crisp autumn day in the Göteborgs Botaniska Trädgård.Sv: Luften var fylld av en doft av fallna löv och jord.En: The air was filled with the scent of fallen leaves and earth.Sv: Solen lyste svagt genom molnen och färgade allt i gyllene toner.En: The sun shone faintly through the clouds, casting everything in golden hues.Sv: Linnea och Oskar gick långsamt längs trädgårdens slingrande stigar.En: Linnea and Oskar walked slowly along the garden's winding paths.Sv: Det var en tradition de hade delat sedan de var barn, en tradition deras mamma älskat.En: It was a tradition they had shared since they were children, a tradition their mother had loved.Sv: "Här började vi alltid," sa Linnea och pekade på den stora fontänen vid ingången.En: "This is where we always started," said Linnea, pointing to the large fountain at the entrance.Sv: Det var här deras mamma brukade börja dagen, med att kasta ett mynt för tur.En: It was here their mother used to start the day, with a coin toss for good luck.Sv: Linnea stannade och betraktade vattnet som glittrade i solen.En: Linnea stopped and watched the water glisten in the sun.Sv: Oskar lade en hand på hennes axel.En: Oskar placed a hand on her shoulder.Sv: "Kanske vi kan kasta ett mynt senare.En: "Maybe we can toss a coin later.Sv: Men vad sägs om att göra något annat idag också?En: But how about doing something else today too?"Sv: " föreslog han försiktigt.En: he suggested gently.Sv: Han visste hur mycket den här traditionen betydde för Linnea, men han kände också vikten av att gå framåt.En: He knew how much this tradition meant to Linnea, but he also felt the importance of moving forward.Sv: "Vad menar du?En: "What do you mean?"Sv: " frågade Linnea, även om hon anade svaret.En: asked Linnea, even though she suspected the answer.Sv: "Vi kan plantera en ny blomma," sa Oskar.En: "We can plant a new flower," said Oskar.Sv: "Mamma älskade alltid att se nya saker växa.En: "Mom always loved seeing new things grow.Sv: Det kanske kan vara ett fint sätt att hedra henne.En: It might be a nice way to honor her."Sv: "Linnea tvekade.En: Linnea hesitated.Sv: Hon ville att allt skulle vara precis som det varit.En: She wanted everything to be just as it had been.Sv: Men något i Oskars blick fick henne att tänka efter.En: But something in Oskar's gaze made her reconsider.Sv: De fortsatte sin promenad genom trädgården, där de passerade ormbunkar och lönnträd med glödande röda och orange löv.En: They continued their walk through the garden, passing by ferns and maple trees with glowing red and orange leaves.Sv: Ett stilla lugn vilade över platsen, och ljudet av deras steg på den grusbelagda stigen var som musik i vinden.En: A quiet calm lay over the place, and the sound of their footsteps on the gravel path was like music in the wind.Sv: När de kom till den del av trädgården där deras mamma alltid stannade för att ta en paus, lade Linnea ner sin väska.En: When they arrived at the part of the garden where their mom always stopped to take a break, Linnea set down her bag.Sv: "Okej," sa hon långsamt.En: "Okay," she said slowly.Sv: "Låt oss hitta en fin plats.En: "Let's find a nice spot."Sv: "De valde en liten plats nära en blommande häggmispel, där marken var mjuk nog att gräva i.En:

out a small pot from his backpack and dug into the soil with his hands.Sv: Tillsammans planterade de varsamt den nya blomman, en liten viol som skulle blomstra i vårens första värme.En: Together, they gently planted the new flower, a small violet that would bloom in the first warmth of spring.Sv: När de var klara, backade de ett par steg och såg på sitt arbete.En: When they were done, they stepped

tradition.Sv: Linnea kände hur tårarna brände bakom ögonlocken, men också en värme av tillfredsställelse.En: Linnea felt tears burning behind her eyelids, but also a warmth of satisfaction.Sv: "Tack, Oskar," sa hon mjukt.En: "Thank you, Oskar," she said softly.Sv: "Det här känns rätt.En: "This feels right."Sv: "Oskar nickade och tog hennes hand.En: Oskar nodded and took her hand.Sv: "Vi kan alltid minnas mamma, Linnea.En: "We can always remember Mom, Linnea.Sv: Men vi kan också skapa nya minnen tillsammans.En: But we can also create new memories together."Sv: "Den lilla blomman vajade i vinden, som om den höll med.En: The little flower swayed in the wind, as if in agreement.Sv: Linnea log och insåg att denna nya tradition inte suddade ut något gammalt.En: Linnea smiled, realizing that this new tradition didn't erase anything old.Sv: Istället vävde den ihop dåtid och framtid, precis så som deras mamma skulle ha velat.En: Instead, it wove together the past and the future, just as their mother would have wanted.Sv: Tillsammans vände de sig om och började gå tillbaka genom trädgården, med både gamla minnen och nya förhoppningar i sina hjärtan.En: Together, they turned and began to walk back through the garden, with both old memories and new hopes in their hearts.

Story Transcript:Sv: Lars och Annika stod utanför porten till Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet i Stockholm.En: Lars and Annika stood outside the entrance to the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet in Stockholm.Sv: Det var tidig höst, och löven prasslade under deras fötter.En: It was early autumn, and the leaves rustled beneath their feet.Sv: Morgonsolen kastade ett mjukt sken över museets stenväggar.En: The morning sun cast a soft glow over the museum's stone walls.Sv: Idag var det skolutflykt, och både Lars och Annika var ivriga.En: Today was a school trip, and both Lars and Annika were eager.Sv: Klassen var uppdelad i små grupper, ledda av lärare och föräldrar.En: The class was divided into small groups, led by teachers and parents.Sv: Museet var fullt av barn som pratsamt rörde sig genom de stora hallarna.En: The museum was full of children who chattily moved through the large halls.Sv: Lars var särskilt exalterad över dinosaurieutställningen.En: Lars was particularly excited about the dinosaur exhibition.Sv: Han kunde varje detalj om dem, allt från de små Velociraptor till den gigantiska Tyrannosaurus rex.En: He knew every detail about them, from the small Velociraptor to the gigantic Tyrannosaurus rex.Sv: Men det fanns ett rykte, ett rykte om ett dolt rum med en ännu mer fantastisk samling av dinosauriefossil, endast tillgängligt för särskilda gäster.En: But there was a rumor, a rumor about a hidden room with an even more fantastic collection of dinosaur fossils, only accessible to special guests.Sv: "Lars, hörde du om det hemliga rummet?"En: "Lars, did you hear about the secret room?"Sv: frågade Annika medan de stod och observerade den enorma vårtsvinsskulpturen intill entrén.En: Annika asked as they stood observing the enormous warthog sculpture next to the entrance.Sv: "Ja," svarade Lars försiktigt.En: "Yes," Lars answered cautiously.Sv: "Men vi får nog inte gå dit."En: "But we're probably not allowed to go there."Sv: "Kom igen, vi måste försöka hitta det!"En: "Come on, we have to try to find it!"Sv: Annika lyste upp, äventyrslustan tänd i hennes ögon.En: Annika lit up, the spirit of adventure igniting in her eyes.Sv: Lars kände en blandning av tvekan och nyfikenhet.En: Lars felt a mix of hesitation and curiosity.Sv: Men Annika verkade så säker.En: But Annika seemed so sure.Sv: Kanske kunde han våga sig på detta lilla äventyr?En: Maybe he could venture on this little adventure?Sv: De smög försiktigt bort från gruppen och gick in bland de stora dinosaurieskulpturerna.En: They carefully snuck away from the group and went among the large dinosaur sculptures.Sv: De lyssnade noga till museumspersonalens samtal och hörde nycklar till deras skattjakt.En: They listened carefully to the museum staff's conversations and heard clues to their treasure hunt.Sv: "Det borde vara någonstans bakom lagerdörrarna," viskade Annika, som snabbt tog initiativet.En: "It should be somewhere behind the storage doors," Annika whispered, quickly taking the initiative.Sv: Lars följde henne, hans hjärta slog snabbare än någonsin.En: Lars followed her, his heart beating faster than ever.Sv: De gick genom långa korridorer, förbi gamla skelett och dammiga utställningar.En: They walked through long corridors, past ancient skeletons and dusty exhibits.Sv: Korridoren verkade oändlig tills de till slut fann en dörr markerad "Personal Endast".En: The corridor seemed endless until they finally found a door marked "Staff Only."Sv: Ingen syntes till – detta var deras chans.En: No one was in sight—this was their chance.Sv: Med försiktighet öppnade Annika dörren, och de gled ljudlöst in.En: With caution, Annika opened the door, and they slipped in silently.Sv: Rummet var fyllt av skuggor, men i mitten upptäckte de flera stora lådor.En: The room was filled with shadows, but in the center, they discovered several large boxes.Sv: Inuti såg de fossiler, imponerande delar av en utställning som få hade sett.En: Inside, they saw fossils, impressive parts of an exhibition few had seen.Sv: Lars kunde knappt andas av förundran.En: Lars could hardly breathe from amazement.Sv: "Vi hittade det!"En: "We found it!"Sv: viskade han, nästan inte vågade tro sina ögon.En: he whispered, almost not daring to believe his eyes.Sv: Men tiden var knapp.En: But time was short.Sv: De visste att de behövde återvända innan de saknades.En: They knew they needed to return before they were missed.Sv: Med ett sista, beundrande blick på fossilerna, smög de tillbaka samma väg de kommit.En: With one last, admiring glance at the fossils, they snuck back the way they had come.Sv: De återupptog sina platser i gruppen precis när guiden ropade vidare till nästa utställning.En: They resumed their places in the group just as the guide called them to the next exhibition.Sv: Ingen märkte deras frånvaro.En: No one noticed their absence.Sv: Men Lars kände sig annorlunda.En: But Lars felt different.Sv: Han hade vågat och vunnit.En: He had dared and won.Sv: Något inom honom hade förändrats den dagen.En: Something within him had changed that day.Sv: Och Annika, hans nya vän, hade varit där vid hans sida.En: And Annika, his new friend, had been there by his side.Sv: De delade ett hemligt leende, fullt av äventyr och vänskap.En: They shared a secret smile, full of adventure and friendship.Sv: Och medan museets storartade hallar fortsatte eka av barnens röster, bar Lars och Annika med sig ett minne som alltid skulle lysa starkast den dagen.En: And while the museum's grand halls continued to echo with the children's voices, Lars and Annika carried with them a memory that would always shine brightest that day.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Crafting Memories: A Unique Halloween Quest in Stockholm Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2026-09-26-22-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en klar och krispig höstmorgon i Stockholm när Sven, Annika och Lars satte sina steg mot Skansen.En: It was a clear and crisp autumn morning in Stockholm when Sven, Annika, and Lars set their steps towards Skansen.Sv: Solens strålar lyste genom de gyllene löven och skapade ett vackert skimmer över den historiska platsen.En: The sun's rays shone through the golden leaves, creating a beautiful shimmer over the historic site.Sv: De var på jakt efter de perfekta Halloween-dekorationerna.En: They were on the hunt for the perfect Halloween decorations.Sv: Sven var fast besluten att göra sin Halloweenfest oförglömlig.En: Sven was determined to make his Halloween party unforgettable.Sv: "Vi måste hitta någonting unikt.En: "We have to find something unique.Sv: Inget vanligt pynt," insisterade Sven och rättade till sin halsduk.En: Nothing ordinary," insisted Sven, adjusting his scarf.Sv: Han kunde känna en viss stress, för han ville imponera på alla gäster vid sin kommande fest.En: He could feel a certain stress because he wanted to impress all the guests at his upcoming party.Sv: Annika log lugnt och sa, "Vi kommer hitta något.En: Annika smiled calmly and said, "We will find something.Sv: Det finns så mycket att se här."En: There's so much to see here."Sv: Hon tyckte om Halloween, men tog det inte lika allvarligt som Sven.En: She liked Halloween but didn't take it as seriously as Sven.Sv: Lars, som hade kommit från Göteborg, var mer nyfiken på Skansen än själva dekorationerna.En: Lars, who had come from Göteborg, was more curious about Skansen than the decorations themselves.Sv: "Jag kan inte minnas att jag någonsin har firat Halloween riktigt," sa han och ryckte på axlarna.En: "I can't remember ever really celebrating Halloween," he said, shrugging his shoulders.Sv: De gick längs den kullerstensbelagda vägen, passerade olika stånd som sålde allt från handgjorda ljus till gamla svenska hantverk.En: They walked along the cobblestone road, passing various stalls selling everything from handmade candles to old Swedish crafts.Sv: Trots det stora utbudet hittade Sven inte något som föll honom i smaken.En: Despite the large selection, Sven didn't find anything that struck his fancy.Sv: Mycket var redan slutsålt, och det som fanns kvar var inte tillräckligt speciellt.En: Much was already sold out, and what was left wasn't special enough.Sv: Skenet från en pumpalykta fick dock plötsligt Svens öga.En: The glow from a pumpkin lantern suddenly caught Sven's eye.Sv: Det blinkade från ett litet stånd fyllt med material för att skapa sina egna dekorationer.En: It gleamed from a small stall filled with materials to create their own decorations.Sv: "Titta där," sa Annika och pekade.En: "Look there," said Annika, pointing.Sv: "Det kanske kan vara något för dig!"En: "That might be something for you!"Sv: Sven gick över, nyfiken och hoppfull.En: Sven walked over, curious and hopeful.Sv: Där fanns allt han behövde: färgglada papper, små snidade pumpor, och många andra tillbehör.En: There was everything he needed: colorful paper, small carved pumpkins, and many other accessories.Sv: Annika och Lars började direkt föreslå idéer.En: Annika and Lars immediately began suggesting ideas.Sv: Annika uppmuntrade Sven att skapa något som ingen annan hade.En: Annika encouraged Sven to create something that no one else had.Sv: Lars hittade en uggla i trä och sa, "Den kan bli en bra start på något unikt."En: Lars found a wooden owl and said, "That could be a good start for something unique."Sv: Sven kände hur inspirationen började flöda.En: Sven felt the inspiration begin to flow.Sv: "Ja, varför göra som alla andra?"En: "Yes, why do like everyone else?"Sv: funderade han.En: he thought.Sv: De började samla material, och Annika betalade med ett leende.En: They started gathering materials, and Annika paid with a smile.Sv: När Halloweenkvällen kom, fylldes Svens hem med vänner som beundrade det hemgjorda pyntet -

Here are his words: We have all been told the fairy tales. We know the story of Atlantis, sinking into the mythic past. We know the legends of lost cities punished by angry gods. Join me for an unprecedented journey into the forbidden history of the Baltic Sea. Through the lens of a forgotten Swedish folktale and a child's prophetic dream, we will tear back the veil on the legendary city of Vineta. This is not a story of a natural disaster. This is the forensic reconstruction of a targeted, technological assassination. This is the story of the secret “Aetheric Grid”—the wireless, sonic technology that powered a metropolis of marble and light while the rest of Europe slept in the Dark Ages. This is the story of the proto-Templars and the true purpose of the Gotland merchant fleets. This is the story of the terrifying reality of “liquefaction warfare” and the sudden, unnatural storm that buried a utopia. They told you the city is dead. But if you stand on the coast of Gotland on a quiet night, and you know how to listen... the Great Bell is still ringing. Come hear the song they tried to drown! “They did not come with ships of wood, but with a wind that burned the lungs and a wave that boiled the stone. The great bell of the central spire, tuned to the harmony of the Mother, was struck by a dissonance so profound it shattered the crystal foundations. The sea did not rise; the Earth fell. As the waters rushed into the glowing streets, the priests of the Cross watched from the cliffs, their ledgers open, calculating the wealth of a world they had just murdered. The city sank, but the bell continues to toll in the dark.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We start with some follow up from Robert, who wonders why he's never received a scam call in nearly 20 years of having the same Swedish phone number. Maria covers ACATS fraud, a little-known scam that can move stocks and retirement assets into fraudulent brokerage accounts without the victim realizing it. Dave shares his experience of nearly falling for a social engineering scam disguised as a podcast interview, where the scammers used convincing prep and a fake meeting link to try to get him to install malware. Joe shares the story of a Maryland woman who was nearly fooled by scammers posing as Wells Fargo and San Francisco police, using detailed personal information and threats of arrest to make the scam feel real. Our Catch of the Day comes from Reddit, where one person takes matters into their own hands after a scammer targets their daughter.

In this episode, we kick things off by examining a major technology partnership pushing heavy-duty autonomous trucking toward highway operations. Swedish company Einride announced it will build its next-generation autonomous driving system on⁠ Nvidia's Hyperion platform, a compute and sensor architecture designed for Level 4 autonomy⁠. The two companies will collaborate to extend Hyperion's compute, sensor, and safety architecture to the demands of heavy-duty freight, with Einride expecting its fleet footprint to reach 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles by 2028. Shifting gears to the rails, we examine a major merger review that hit a significant snag despite officially moving forward. The Surface Transportation Board declined to dismiss the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern application, but a pointed concurring opinion from board member Richard Kloster revealed⁠ the merger application is shallow and lacks detail on how competition concerns will be addressed⁠. Kloster's skepticism is particularly notable because Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena appeared with President Trump in the Oval Office in September, and Trump subsequently called the merger a good idea. Finally, we explore how fleet technology giant Samsara is going after a massive opportunity hiding in plain sight. The company launched its Fuel Command Center, a new dashboard that⁠ consolidates total and recoverable fuel spend while targeting $2 billion in potential savings⁠ across its U.S. customers in the first six months of 2026 alone. The platform pulls transactions from any fleet's existing fuel card, integrates Coast's spend controls directly, and combats fraud by tying card authorization to vehicle location. ⁠Follow the FreightWaves Today Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Some of my best language learning material came from a random book I pulled off my library shelf. A history of Portugal, a book about Prague, a Swedish novel. A little Portuguese here, a little Czech there, a little Swedish, and it all adds up, like snow that slowly covers the ground. You don't always need two free hours to make progress. What's the most useful thing you've found by accident while learning a language?

Nobody outsources the engine. It's the heartbeat of the vehicle, and outside of a few niche players, no large OEM has ever seriously considered handing it to someone else. Tom Lewis is betting that rule's about to break.Tom is President of Horse Powertrain USA, the company formed by Renault, Geely, and Aramco with 19,000 people and 18 plants across 4 continents. OEMs bet big on battery-electric vehicles and pulled investment away from combustion and hybrid systems, but now consumer demand isn't matching the plan. Many of the hybrids sold in the U.S. today still run on engines developed at the start of the millennium. Horse's answer is fully assembled engines and transmissions from an unbiased partner, some call a tier 0.5, so OEMs don't have to pour capital into technology they can't justify building alone.The business model breaks one rule. Tom's leadership breaks a few more. He calls himself a catalyst, and he's got the stories to back it up. A purchasing leader once told him he had no chance at an inverter program and to come back next time. Tom asked what the current suppliers weren't solving, pulled together a skunkworks team, found a way to meet the power requirement with a single power module, and slid a quote across the desk without ever receiving an RFQ. His company won the business. Then there's the inflation negotiation, where everyone in the room was hunting for ways to pressure the customer, and Tom stopped the discussion to ask what a positive lever might look like. That offer went straight to the CEO, who said yes on the spot, because Tom wasn't willing to wait for every business unit controller to protect their own turf.Jan and Tom also get into what it takes to blend French, Spanish, Swedish, and Chinese teams into one culture, why a vision has to be built by the team in the room (and never pulled from an AI tool), and what Tom's leaving behind as he builds Horse's U.S. organization as employee number one.This one's for every leader who's been told to wait for the RFQ, follow the process, and stay in their lane, and knows the automotive industry can't afford to keep playing it safe.Themes Discussed in this EpisodeWhy the rule against outsourcing the engine is breakingThe BEV bet and the return of the hybridTier 0.5: an unbiased powertrain partner for OEMsMerging Chinese and legacy automotive culturesThe leader as catalyst: ambition, vision, creativity, driveBreaking the rules to win the customerPositive levers in tough commercial negotiationsLeaving complex hierarchy and decision-making behindThis episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more

Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo's new album ESTRUS can be summarized in the opening lyrics of the album's closing track, “source of life”: “Feral, fragile, numb, ecstatic / sad, euphoric, catatonic / Horny, repulsed, proud and shameful / Good, demonic, contradictions.”  A songwriter with a string of multi-platinum hits in the 2010s, Tove Lo has crafted a career founded on musical contradiction, with songs that straddle the line between messy and controlled. Her lyrics tend to skew both horny and sensitive, and her latest record features both of those vibes in equal measure. On this episode of Switched on Pop, Charlie and Nate sit down with her to talk all things ESTRUS.  CREDITS  Reanna Cruz: Producer  Iris Gottlieb: Illustrator  Charlie Harding: Host, Executive Producer  Dion Lee: Art Director  Brandon McFarland: Audio Engineer  Nick Ripps: Video Editor  Nate Sloan: Host  Lissa Soep: Editor  Zach Tenorio & Jocie Adams: Theme Composers  Switched On Pop is a co-production of Vox Media Podcast Network, Vulture, and Rock Ridge Productions.

In an old Swedish farmhouse, shadows passing through rooms were familiar enough that the family rarely worried about them. They believed the grandparents were still there, moving through a home that had changed around them. Even a doorway that no longer existed seemed to remain part of someone's route.But the house was also home to a son whose illness meant he needed care around the clock. Assistants stayed overnight, and some began having experiences that were much harder to take in stride.Hammering in the darkness. Sleep interrupted by someone who wasn't there. The family might have been comfortable with their ghosts, but one assistant refused to work another night.Were these encounters part of the farmhouse's familiar haunting—or was someone trying to get the caregivers' attention for a reason the living hadn't understood?#RealGhostStoriesOnline #FamilyHaunting #HauntedFarmhouse #ProtectiveSpirits #SwedishGhostStories #GhostlyVisitors #NightShiftHaunting #ShadowFigures #LifeAfterDeath #ParanormalEncounters Love real ghost stories?
