This week we get the energy up by having Mike Carroll talk about Beowulf again! We plan on coming out with an episode every first and third Friday of the Month for the rest of the school year and hopefully you come along for the ride with us! We are starting out with Grendel by John Gardner a deceptively short book for the complex magnitudes it contains. So sit back and enjoy our conversation about the Grendel in Grendel.  Host: Dr. Nic Hoffmann, Mike Burns, and Mike Carroll.   This elegantly haunting retelling of the Beowulf saga turns the tables: instead of the heroic warrior, the monstrous Grendel narrates the tale—from his vantage point, with his blend of bitter irony, existential rumination, and lonely longing. Grendel, the original “monster” of ancient legend, voices his own story in a world he finds bewildering and violent. He and his mute mother dwell in a cave, shaded from human society yet tormented by their encroachment. When a blind harpist—known as the Shaper—arrives at the Danish mead‑hall, Hart, his forged myths and stirring songs both enchant and horrify Grendel, setting in motion a philosophical struggle between storytelling's awakening magic and the stark, chaotic truths he senses beneath it.

Welcome to the Wind Power News Review – hosted by Windpower Monthly's senior reporter, Robyn White, and Windpower Monthly's reporter, Orlando Jenkinson – along with our regular panellists, Will Sheard and Shashi Barla.This time on the News Review, we ask our panellists for their views on Danish renewables major Ørsted's plans for an €8 billion capital raise to shore up its finances amid an increasingly fraught offshore wind market. Ørsted's difficulties are being compounded by relentless attacks on domestic wind power in the United States made by the US government under President Donald Trump, which continues to declare new policies and stop work orders that threaten to undermine wind power's viability stateside. How much more can the US wind industry take, and what does the future hold? Across the Pacific, meanwhile, the world's largest wind power market – China – continues to forge ahead with innovation as unprecedented new technologies from major manufacturers are unveiled. Our panellists examine the viability of these new designs. This episode was produced by Inga Marsden.Windpower Monthly is now on Bluesky – follow us at @windpowermonthly.bsky.social for all the latest updates.

Mark Maddox returns to discuss a giant monster movie from Denmark! Yes – REPTILICUS (1961) is either the shame or pride of Danish cinema depending on who you ask. Much like THE GIANT CLAW (1957) it asks a lot of the audience whenever the titular creature is onscreen. For many fans of genre film, the willing suspension of disbelief is too heavy a lift even though the first act setup involves an intriguing premise. So what do Mark and I think of it? Hang on tight! We discuss the origin of the project and the various creators who brought this movie to the world. Sidney Pink and Ib Melchior get the biggest share of our attention as they were the writers and director of the project. We quote American International Pictures' Sam Arkoff about his discovery of the major mistake in the English dialog that had to be corrected by looping the entire film. The monster special effects go under the microscope with both of us relating the style and form to the Gerry Anderson TV shows that were gaining popularity in the early 1960's. The differences between the AIP English version and the version made for Danish consumption are touched on with special mention of the added musical number that drives Mark nearly insane. (Yes, I included it in the show.) Topping things off is my co-host's reoccurring Swedish Chef impression which is either cultural appropriation, an insulting caricature or a confused cry for help. Or all three. And this entire affair goes on for two hours! That is clearly too long, but take heart in the knowledge that this is the edited version of our conversation.   If you have any comments about REPTILICUS or any of the other things we've covered on the show thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to send them. Thank you for listening and we'll be back soon.

Now that we're a monthly news pod for kids – boy, do we have a doozy of an episode for y'all! First up, we'll explain why people in Denmark are offering their ailing pets as food (!) at zoos - yes, we'll dive deep into the Danish cycle – or circle – of life belief. Staying with nature, move over Nemo - there's a shark that's been spotted off the coast of Costa Rica, lighting up the ocean. In tech news is it the end of batteries for our tech devices? If so, then how? And the search is BACK on for Amelia Earhart's plane that famously went down in the Pacific Ocean way back in 1937. In entertainment news Taylor Swift is finally getting hitched. In sports find out who takes the crown in The Little League World Series. (Clue – it's actually a worldly team!) And, why, oh, why do the Spanish like to toss tomatoes? At each other? Yes, we'll have a special report from one of the craziest, or do we mean tastiest, festivals around. All that and more in this monthly episode. 

In this weeks fashion drop Leigh & Lucinda Pikkat are dissecting all of the incredible street style we saw during Copenhagen Fashion Week. From sustainability requirements that put other fashion weeks to shame (18 mandatory criteria just to show!) to the Danish girls who made sneakers with dresses a thing, Copenhagen will always serve up fashion inspiration! Lucinda breaks down the "Copenhagen C's"—from Scandi minimalism to full-blown maximalism—and explains why 50% influencer attendance means we're seeing the most creative, risk-taking looks on the streets. Think tartan mini skirts with giant bows, sequin dresses layered over jeans, and enough polka dots to make your head spin (in the best way).

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast! The boys start this week's show with a look back at the World Series of Darts Finals and discuss whether Michael van Gerwen is 'back' after winning his first major title in two years, before also sharing their thoughts on the PDC's 2026 calendar announcement. Andreas Toft Jorgensen (23:45) joins the show ahead of his European Tour debut at the Swiss Darts Trophy next week. The Danish international reflects on his last few years on the oche, playing on the World Series and winning his first match in the PDC World Cup, overcoming a finger injury to lift the Danish Super League title last year, qualifying for his first European Tour event and also booking his spot in the upcoming PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship in the last Pro Tour event of the season.

The Swedish international looks back on his career in the game so far, from discovering the game in his late teens to becoming Swedish national champion, before making his mark on the PDC circuit, impressing on the PDC ProTour as a top-up player and qualifier, and a standout 2025 campaign on the Nordic & Baltic Tour which saw him win four titles and secure an Ally Pally debut and the number one seeding for the upcoming PDC Nordic & Baltic Championship.

If Donald Trump is a broken clock only right twice daily, then one of those truths might be US policy toward Greenland. According to the Australian based geo-strategist Elizabeth Buchanan, Trump is correct to be preoccupied with American influence over, and perhaps even ownership of Greenland. In her new book, So You Want To Own Greenland, Buchanan argues that the 57,000-person continental super-sized island is becoming central to 21st Century geopolitics. From the Vikings to the (yes) colonizing Danes, she argues, Greenland has always been an important piece of the North Atlantic strategic jigsaw. Today, however, with the melting polar ice cap and its vast mineral resources, Greenland is becoming essential - not just to native Greenlanders, the United States, Denmark and Canada, but also to Russia, China and even India. 1. America's Greenland Interest Predates Trump by 160 Years US interest in Greenland dates back to 1867 and the Seward Purchase ("Seward's Folly"). Trump's fixation isn't erratic - it reflects longstanding American strategic thinking about North American geography that transcends partisan politics.2. Denmark is a Colonial Power, Not a Progressive Beacon Contrary to its reputation for happiness and human rights, Denmark runs Greenland as a modern colony. This includes a forced contraception program targeting 12-13 year old Inuit girls and economic control where 50%+ of working-age Greenlanders work for the government.3. Climate Change is Creating the "New Panama Canal" The melting Arctic ice cap is opening new shipping routes between Europe and Asia through the North. Any cargo passing this route must go through Greenlandic/Danish waters, making Greenland a critical chokepoint for 21st-century global trade.4. Greenland Wants Independence, But Denmark Won't Let Go Greenlanders voted for independence in a referendum, but Danish law requires the Danish Parliament to approve any independence - a catch-22. Without Greenland (and the Faroe Islands), Denmark ceases to be a "kingdom" and becomes just Denmark.5. China and India Are the Real Wild Cards While focus remains on US-Denmark tensions, China and India are rapidly expanding their Arctic presence through "research" missions and shipping investments. For every American business jet landing in Greenland, there are Chinese and Indian interests as well.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

This Day in Legal History: Treaty of Fort PittOn September 17, 1778, the Treaty of Fort Pitt—also known as the Treaty of Fort Pitt or the Delaware Treaty—was signed between the newly independent United States and the Lenape (Delaware) Nation. It was the first formal treaty between the United States and a Native American tribe, signaling an alliance during the Revolutionary War against British forces. The treaty, negotiated at Fort Pitt (present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), promised military collaboration, mutual defense, and provisions for supplies and protection for the Lenape people. In a striking and largely symbolic provision, the treaty even entertained the idea of creating a 14th state within the Union to be governed by Native Americans.Though the treaty framed the Lenape as equal partners, its promises were quickly eroded by reality. The United States failed to deliver many of the resources it pledged, and the idea of a Native-governed state was abandoned almost as soon as it was proposed. Lenape leaders had agreed to the treaty in part out of necessity, caught between colonial and British expansion and hoping to safeguard their people's survival. Instead, they faced encroachment, displacement, and repeated betrayals.Within a few years, American militias and settlers would violate the treaty's terms, seizing land and disregarding Lenape sovereignty. The alliance never materialized in the way it was envisioned. The treaty, once a beacon of potential cooperation, became an early example of the fragility of Native-American treaties with the United States. It set a precedent for broken agreements that would recur throughout American expansion.A Senate report released by Democrats on September 17, 2025, criticized KPMG LLP for failing to act on warning signs at Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank prior to their 2023 collapses. The auditors issued clean reports just weeks before the banks failed due to rising interest rates and liquidity issues, yet they allegedly ignored key red flags such as massive asset devaluations, governance concerns, and internal risk assessments. Lawmakers said KPMG adopted an overly narrow view of its responsibilities and maintained close, long-term relationships with the banks, raising questions about its objectivity. The report highlighted a revolving door between KPMG and the banks, with executives and audit staff frequently moving between roles. KPMG defended its audits, saying it followed U.S. standards and criticized the report as out of step with other investigations, which have not blamed auditors for the failures.Senator Richard Blumenthal called for substantial reform to the audit industry, citing “willful blindness” by KPMG and a failure to protect the public. Though the Senate subcommittee's report is unlikely to spur immediate regulatory changes—especially given the political instability at the PCAOB—it proposed new oversight tools, including mandatory auditor rotation and a whistleblower office. The report also recommended making audit enforcement investigations public sooner, arguing that long delays leave investors unaware of potential problems. KPMG, meanwhile, noted it had improved its audit practices and achieved its best regulatory inspection in 15 years.KPMG Dismissed Red Flags at Regional Banks, Senate Review FindsA New York state judge dismissed two terrorism-related charges against Luigi Mangione, who remains accused of second-degree murder in the killing of health insurance executive Brian Thompson. Justice Gregory Carro ruled that prosecutors failed to provide sufficient evidence that Mangione acted with the intent to intimidate health workers or influence government policy—criteria necessary for charges under the state's terrorism statute. While the judge acknowledged the seriousness of the crime, he clarified that not all non-traditional crimes qualify as terrorism.Mangione, 27, still faces nine other charges in the state case, including multiple counts of criminal possession of a weapon and a charge for possessing false identification. He has also been indicted federally, where the U.S. Justice Department is seeking the death penalty. The state court's decision does not impact the federal terrorism case, which remains active. Thompson, a former CEO at UnitedHealthcare, was shot outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel in December 2024 during a company event.The case has drawn national attention, particularly as concerns grow over politically motivated violence following the recent killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Public reaction to Mangione has been sharply divided, with some viewing him as a vigilante figure amid frustration with rising healthcare costs. Supporters even rallied outside the courthouse, holding signs and wearing themed attire. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and no trial dates have been scheduled.Luigi Mangione wins dismissal of terrorism counts in US insurance executive's killing | ReutersSeveral major U.S. law firms that reached agreements with President Donald Trump earlier this year are now representing clients in lawsuits against his administration, despite concerns that the deals would deter such actions. At least four of the nine firms that made arrangements with the White House—Latham & Watkins, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, Skadden Arps, and Milbank—have since taken on cases involving challenges to Trump-era policies on immigration, transgender rights, tariffs, and environmental regulations.The firms' deals with the Trump administration, reached in March and April, came in response to executive orders targeting firms seen as opposing the president's agenda or promoting diversity policies he opposed. As part of the agreements, the firms pledged nearly $1 billion in pro bono legal work for causes aligned with the administration. Critics feared the arrangements would chill dissent and limit the firms' independence, but court records show several firms continued to litigate against the government.Legal experts suggest these firms are balancing risk with professional obligations, especially in high-profile cases involving long-standing clients or influential attorneys. For example, Latham represents Danish energy company Orsted in a lawsuit over a halted wind project, and Willkie is defending Virginia school districts in a transgender rights dispute. Milbank is involved in litigation over Trump's tariff powers and sanctuary city policies, led by prominent attorneys Neal Katyal and Gurbir Grewal. Skadden has partnered with a nonprofit to represent an immigrant woman denied a special visa.Four firms successfully challenged the legality of Trump's executive orders in court, with rulings finding they violated First Amendment protections. The administration has appealed. Meanwhile, Reuters has reported that other top firms have reduced pro bono and diversity initiatives, cautious of possible political retaliation.Some law firms that cut deals with Trump take cases opposing his administration | ReutersTesla has reached a confidential settlement with the family of Jovani Maldonado, a teenager killed in a 2019 crash involving a Tesla Model 3 operating on Autopilot. The case, which was set to go to trial next month in Alameda County, adds to a string of fatal crash lawsuits the company has quietly resolved to avoid jury trials. The Maldonados alleged that Tesla's driver-assistance system failed to detect slowing traffic and that the car struck their Ford Explorer at 70 mph, ejecting and killing 15-year-old Jovani. According to the lawsuit, the Tesla driver had no hands on the wheel at the time of impact, and the family claimed Tesla misled the public about the safety and capabilities of its Autopilot technology.Although Tesla argued the technology worked as designed and blamed the driver, it continues to settle similar cases even after Elon Musk publicly stated in 2019 that he opposed settling “unjust” lawsuits. The company has also recently settled other high-profile fatal crash suits, including ones involving distracted drivers and cases with alcohol-related elements.These legal battles come as Tesla faces mounting scrutiny over Autopilot and its marketing practices. The California DMV is pursuing an administrative complaint accusing Tesla of exaggerating its software's capabilities, with a ruling still pending. Tesla has three more fatal Autopilot crash trials scheduled in the next six months, including one in Houston involving injured police officers.Tesla Settles Another Fatal Crash Suit Ahead of Jury Trial (1) This is a public episode.

What if the solution to Ireland's housing crisis has been sitting on our doorstep all along? We dive into the Danish model of cooperative housing, where 7% of Danes live in co-ops, and a full third of Copenhageners do too, and explore how the GAA, with its 2,200 clubs and pristine community pitches in every village, could spearhead something similar here. Forget developer margins and speculative bubbles: in Denmark, a co-op share might cost €70–100k, with monthly housing costs around €800, compared to a private flat at €400k and €1,200 rent. We talk about the power of collective ownership, intergenerational communities, and why housing is really about dignity, not speculation. Along the way, we get into Jim Gavin's presidential bid, Fianna Fáil's GAA connection, and why our presidency has become more like Ireland's Got Talent than a serious constitutional role.

Denmark may be a small country, but it produces world-class athletes in cycling, tennis, handball, badminton, and golf. How do they do it? And how does the tax-financed effort to create athletic champions fit with the culture code of "Jante Law", the idea is that no one should think themselves better than anyone else?  September is when fall sports season starts in Denmark. The badminton league begins, so does volleyball and basketball and hockey. Most importantly, the handball season kicks off, and while I'm not a handball fan myself, I always know when that season is underway because my otherwise mild-mannered downstairs neighbor begins screaming at his flatscreen, cheering on or scolding Denmark's handball girls or handball boys, the teams are equally popular in Denmark.  Team handball was invented in Denmark – and like design, it's a national passion. Danish teams have won several World Championships and many Olympic Gold Medals. Football, otherwise known as soccer, is popular too, although given the international competition, it's a bit harder for little Denmark to win championships. The Danish national team did win a European championship in 1992, something any Danish man over 40 will be happy to discuss with you in great detail. Right now there are more than 300,000 registered football players in Denmark if you count amateur, pro, and semi-pro teams. The population of Denmark is 6 million. That means one out of every 20 Danes is on a football team. Danish athletes are not particularly rich, and the ones who do make big money have tapped into markets outside of Denmark. The most famous is badminton player Viktor Axelsen. Since badminton is most popular in Asia, Viktor Axelsen learned fluent Mandarin Chinese. There are lots of endorsements in the Chinese market. The golfing Højgaard twins, Rasmus and Nicolai, make their money on the international golf circuits, in particular the PGA.  Both of them also have endorsement deals. And Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard makes his money not just in France, but also via international endorsements.   Many Danes do sports in their spare time. A bike ride through Copenhagen wouldn't be complete without a middle-aged Lycra lout cyclist who thinks he's Jonas Vingegaard speeding past you in the bike lanes, sometimes screaming “Bagfra!” or “I'm coming up behind you!” Besides criminals and welfare cheats, these are the least liked men in Denmark. And many Danes are involved with what's often described as hygge sports, where the win or the loss isn't as important as the beers with your buddies or pasta with your girls afterwards. These leagues cover the entire lifespan – old boys football clubs or old girls rowing teams can keep you fit long past retirement age – and they often start in childhood. Schools in Denmark have physical education classes – under the old Viking word idraet – but they rarely have school sports teams. Sports are played through clubs, mostly amateur clubs, which is nice for the kids, because if they don't have many friends at school they can make different friends at their sports club. These clubs are part of a huge network connected to Team Denmark, which is a government project to create Denmark's future sports stars. It's always funny to me that there is so much support for elite sport development in a country so keen on Jante Law. Under the Jante Law, the idea is that no one should think themselves better than anyone else. You see this in Danish working culture, and you also see it in the educational system. Smart kids in Denmark don't get a boost – they're expected to just attend ordinary classes and help their slower classmates. There are very few gifted and talented programs, and unlike Germany or the UK, Denmark doesn't academically track children when they're 10 or 11, sending some to more challenging academic programs. In Denmark, you can get away with messing around and doing very little in school until your second year of high school – gymnasium – around age 17 or 18, and then buckle down and end up finding yourself in med school or international business, two of the most sought-after university programs. But, in sport, Denmark begins looking for talent very early. The local sports clubs work with Team Denmark to create a pipeline of talented kids. Team Denmark, which is part of the culture ministry, has been around for forty years, but it constantly updates which sports it supports. Being practical Danes, they aim for sports in which little Denmark has a good chance of big success. Right now, that's badminton, handball, cycling, plus the various sports played on or in the water – sailing, kayaking, swimming, rowing. Denmark has a long tradition of sports that involve boats or water. With all its little islands and fjords, it has more coastline than India. By age 13, these kids are offered places in talent centers or elite sports schools, and when they're 15 and ready for secondary schools, there will be an elite sport track that gives them flexibility to train and compete. Danish universities offer flexibility for the athletes of Team Denmark when it comes to papers and exams. Some companies even offer part-time internships for Denmark's elite athletes, so they can keep their civilian career on track while pursuing their sport. Of course, once they've succeeded at that sport, Jante Law kicks in again. Danish athletes who win things are expected to give credit to their teammates, to their trainers, to the collective effort. To say things like, well, “I was third, I got the bronze, but I could have easily been fourth.” They're also expected to stay in Denmark and pay Danish taxes. Viktor Axelsen found himself rather unpopular when he moved to Dubai. His excuse was the better flight connections to badminton matches Asia, as well as the dry weather being good for his asthma, but everyone knew the difference between 56% income tax on top earners in Denmark and 0% in Dubai probably weighed in his decision. The ideal Danish elite athlete is probably Michael Laudrup, who played football at the highest levels throughout Europe in the 1990s, but was always very humble about his skills. After he retired he came back to Denmark, where he now runs a wine business, does some Danish TV commentary, and no doubt pays substantial Danish taxes. This is sporting success in one of the most egalitarian countries in the world. And that's the How to Live in Denmark podcast for this week.

Policing in Denmark isn't what you might expect.In this episode, Allan Hansen, Deputy Chief Superintendent of Copenhagen Police, joins Derek, Mike, and Brooke to demystify how policing really works here. From the difference between 112 and 114, to what's legal (and what's not) when it comes to biking, drinking, or swimming in the harbor, the team cuts through the myths internationals often carry with them. Allan also shares what makes Danish policing unique: one unified force, a strong culture of trust, and a focus on preventing problems before they escalate.If you've ever wondered whether jaywalking will get you fined, what to do if you lose your phone at a café, or how police handle scams, nightlife, and language barriers, this conversation has the answers. You'll even hear a few wild stories from Allan's 30 years on the job including a sheep's head gone wrong and a city bus nose-diving into a canal.

When you close your eyes, how do you envision your farm and soil ecosystem? What ideals, values, and priorities are part of your vision and farm business model? Kasper Krabbe, a doctoral student at Aarhus University in Denmark and a visiting guest scholar at Virginia Tech, talked with Mary, Jeff, and Eric about these questions and his research interest in farmers' perceptions and decision-making. Kasper is particularly intrigued by the human and cultural elements of farming and how context informs and shapes the agroecological system and soil health of individual farms and regional farming. Kasper's ongoing inquiry into the agroecological dynamics of farming, soil health, and specific values-based business models aligns with the objectives of the European Union's Soil Values project https://soilvalues.eu/. Additionally, Kasper has created videos based on his interviews and interactions with cooperating Danish farmers. This sample Soil Values video is with a Danish farmer who owns and operates a community-supported agriculture farm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwHRB9ybRM As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.More details about the Virginia Farm-to-Table Harvest Celebration scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at On Sunny Slope Farm in Rockingham, Virginia, can be found at https://virginiafarmtotable.org/2025vaf2tharvestcelebration/To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

fyldte området.En: The air was fresh, and the sound of the festival filled the area.Da: Stande med æblekager, lune drikke og historiske dragter gav slottet liv på en ny måde.En: Stalls with apple cakes, warm drinks, and historical costumes brought the castle to life in a new way.Da: Freja så sig omkring og spejdede efter Mikkel.En: Freja looked around, searching for Mikkel.Da: Han stod lidt væk, begejstret studerende en mand, der viste, hvordan man lavede middelalderligt håndværk.En: He was standing a little distance away, enthusiastically studying a man demonstrating how to make medieval crafts.Da: Mikkel havde aldrig været som Freja.En: Mikkel had never been like Freja.Da: Hans lyst til nuet stod i skarp kontrast til hendes trang til at forstå fortiden.En: His desire for the present sharply contrasted with her urge to understand the past.Da: I nærheden hørte Freja Signe, den livlige guide, fortælle en gruppe besøgende om slottets dramatiske historie.En: Nearby, Freja heard Signe, the lively guide, telling a group of visitors about the castle's dramatic history.Da: "Og legend says," begyndte Signe med et mystisk smil, "at et skjult rum gemmer en glemt skat.En: "And legend says," Signe began with a mysterious smile, "that a hidden room hides a forgotten treasure.Da: Men ingen kender vejen derind."En: But no one knows the way in."Da: Frejas øjne glimtede ved ordene.En: Freja's eyes sparkled at the words.Da: Det var dette rum, denne skat, hun havde hørt om og ønsket at finde.En: It was this room, this treasure, that she had heard of and wanted to find.Da: Stemmerne fra festivalen blandede sig med Mikkels latter, men Frejas tanker var et andet sted.En: The voices from the festival mixed with Mikkel's laughter, but Freja's thoughts were elsewhere.Da: Hun besluttede sig for at finde rummet.En: She decided to find the room.Da: Hun havde læst gamle tekster og troede, hun kendte nøglen til hemmeligheden.En: She had read old texts and believed she knew the key to the secret.Da: Da Signe førte gruppen mod slotsgården, begyndte Freja at falde tilbage.En: As Signe led the group towards the castle courtyard, Freja began to fall back.Da: Snart gled hun væk fra gruppen og gik ned ad en af de små, næsten skjulte gange.En: Soon, she slipped away from the group and walked down one of the small, almost hidden passageways.Da: Hendes hjerte slog hurtigt af både spænding og frygt.En: Her heart beat fast with both excitement and fear.Da: Mikkel var stadig på standen, troede hun.En: Mikkel was still at the stall, she thought.Da: Men inden længe hørte hun fodtrin bag sig.En: But before long, she heard footsteps behind her.Da: Mikkel, bekymret for hendes pludselige forsvinden, var fulgt efter hende.En: Mikkel, concerned about her sudden disappearance, had followed her.Da: "Freja, hvad laver du?"En: "Freja, what are you doing?"Da: hviskede han forvirret.En: he whispered, confused.Da: Freja vendte sig om med et smil.En: Freja turned around with a smile.Da: "Jeg skal vise dig noget fantastisk, Mikkel."En: "I have something amazing to show you, Mikkel."Da: De gik sammen længere ind i slottet, hvor turistenes lyde blev til en hvisken.En: They went further into the castle together, where the tourist's sounds became a whisper.Da: Freja fandt endelig, hvad hun ledte efter – en skjult dør.En: Freja finally found what she was looking for – a hidden door.Da: De åbnede den nølende og trådte indenfor.En: They opened it hesitantly and stepped inside.Da: Rummet var gammelt, fyldt med skygger og støv, men der var også en form for magisk atmosfære.En: The room was old, filled with shadows and dust, but there was also a kind of magical atmosphere.Da: Pludselig trådte Mikkel på en løs sten.En: Suddenly, Mikkel stepped on a loose stone.Da: Med et klik lukkede døren bag dem og mekanismen låste.En: With a click, the door closed behind them and the mechanism locked.Da: De kiggede på hinanden, forskrækkede.En: They looked at each other, startled.Da: Det gamle rum var nu en fælde.En: The old room was now a trap.Da: "Åh nej," mumlede Freja, og vidste at deres impulsivitet havde fanget dem.En: "Åh nej," muttered Freja, knowing that their impulsiveness had caught them.Da: I mellemtiden, tilbage ved festivalen, bemærkede Signe, at Freja og Mikkel manglede.En: In the meantime, back at the festival, Signe noticed that Freja and Mikkel were missing.Da: Hendes instinkter sagde hende, hvor de kunne være.En: Her instincts told her where they might be.Da: Snart nærmede hun sig den skjulte dør og lyttede.En: Soon she approached the hidden door and listened.Da: Derindefra hørte hun Freja og Mikkels dæmpede stemmer.En: From inside, she heard Freja and Mikkel's muffled voices.Da: Signe smilede for sig selv og sagde kun med en hvisken til døren: "I ser, historie findes ikke kun i de glemte rum."En: Signe smiled to herself and whispered to the door: "You see, history isn't only found in forgotten rooms."Da: Derefter brugte hun sin viden om slottet til at åbne døren.En: Then she used her knowledge of the castle to open the door.Da: Freja og Mikkel trådte ud, lettede over at være frie.En: Freja and Mikkel stepped out, relieved to be free.Da: Signe nikkede forstående.En: Signe nodded understandingly.Da: "Nogle hemmeligheder er sikrere med venner," sagde hun.En: "Some secrets are safer with friends," she said.Da: Freja indså, at hendes ivrighed efter fortiden måtte vejes med tilstedeværelsen af dem hun holdt kær.En: Freja realized that her eagerness for the past had to be balanced with the presence of those she loved.Da: Sammen gik de tilbage til festivalen, og Freja vidste, at hendes søgen efter historie netop havde beriget hendes nutid.En: Together they returned to the festival, and Freja knew that her quest for history had just enriched her present.Da: Mikkel og Signe var ved hendes side, og det var i sig selv en rigdom.En: Mikkel and Signe were by her side, and that in itself was a treasure.Da: Historien var ikke kun i det skjulte, men også i de øjeblikke, vi deler nu.En: History was not only in the hidden, but also in the moments we share now.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, your source for the latest news, research, and insights on Ozempic and its impact on weight loss, health, and lifestyle.If you are following updates on Ozempic, recent international studies are shedding a spotlight on why so many are both drawn to and dropping away from this buzzy medication. According to reports from HealthDay and Drugs.com, about half of the adults who start Ozempic for weight loss end up quitting within just one year. For context, a study out of Denmark tracked more than seventy-seven thousand new Ozempic users and found that fifty-two percent gave it up before the year's end. These findings were presented at this year's European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting in Vienna.So, why are so many discontinuing Ozempic? One major reason is cost. In Denmark, the lowest possible annual dose is over two thousand euros. In the United States, prices can jump to more than one thousand four hundred dollars monthly if uninsured. People in lower-income areas were nearly fifteen percent more likely to quit early. For many, the price tag is simply not sustainable long-term.Side effects are another factor. Drugs.com highlights that those with gastrointestinal conditions, chronic illnesses, or who are taking psychiatric medication are more likely to stop using Ozempic. The Danish study found that people with existing GI issues were nine percent more likely to quit, and those with heart disease or other chronic conditions were ten percent more likely to stop. Furthermore, common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea disproportionately drive users to discontinue.Age and gender play a role too. Younger adults were forty-eight percent more likely to stop Ozempic within the first year compared to older users. Men had a twelve percent greater likelihood than women to quit. The study authors note that women tend to see slightly better weight loss results, which might help motivate their continued use.One important medical application is for people living with diabetes. Originally, Ozempic and similar drugs were developed to help manage blood sugar. However, they've gained popularity strictly for weight loss, and over ninety percent of new prescriptions in some studies are written for those without diabetes.Another recent clinical trial, reported by TheJournal.ie, looked at bumping up the standard dose to see if results improve. By tripling the weekly dosage to seven-point-two milligrams, nearly half of trial participants lost at least twenty percent of their body weight. But remember, higher doses may also lead to more side effects and costs.For younger women who are considering Ozempic, caution is warranted. According to researchers at Flinders University, there are hidden reproductive risks for women in their childbearing years. The Medical Journal of Australia reports that most women prescribed Ozempic are not using effective contraception, even though these medications can pose risks during pregnancy and fetal development. Only twenty-one percent of women on Ozempic were using contraception in one large study of more than one-point-six million general practice records. Notably, women with polycystic ovary syndrome were twice as likely to conceive after starting Ozempic, possibly because weight loss can improve fertility. Lead researcher Associate Professor Luke Grzeskowiak states the need for proper counseling on reproductive risks for women starting these drugs.A final point from ScienceDaily is that stopping Ozempic often leads to regaining weight. Because the drug works by curbing appetite and promoting the feeling of fullness, these benefits disappear once you stop. For most, it is not a quick fix but a long-term commitment.As awareness rises, so does the number of questions around cost, access, side effect management, and the balance of risks and benefits. Whether you are considering Ozempic, currently taking it, or simply curious about its role in the future of weight management, keeping up with peer-reviewed research and evolving guidelines from health agencies is crucial.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

I'm sure you've seen that famous optical illusion picture that can be perceived either as two faces in profile looking at each other, or as a vase. That image is named the “Rubin Vase,” after Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin, who authored a book in 1915 called “Visual Perception.”  This image, and others like it, have stimulated much scientific debate about how our brains understand and process images.  What fascinates me is that moment when my understanding of the image shifts, that instant where I can see the second interpretation of the picture. Naturally, there's a technical term for that; it's called a Gestalt switch. A Gestalt switch occurs when you change your perspective from one view of an image, a sound or an experience. As with the Rubin vase, you first saw it one way - as a vase - and now you see it another way - as two faces. There is much debate about the cognitive processes that allow this switch to happen, but there seems to be general agreement that the switch is hard for an individual to control. Sometimes you just can't see the faces; you only see the vase. Nevertheless, we are talking about the necessity for you to be able to make that switch in your harp playing.  Here's the premise for this show. Making your piece sound like music isn't about what you do; it's about your perspective. In case I've made this sound too difficult, let me reassure you that I am positive you already do this in your playing. You just haven't thought of it this way before. If you weren't making this perception change, you would stay stuck on one measure and never get to playing the entire piece. What we're going to explore today is how to make that perception shift intentional. Why would we want to do this? Because when we shift our perspective from playing the notes to playing the music, we play the music better.  If this sounds a little mysterious, be sure to listen to the rest of the show, because this discussion will help you find more freedom in your playing. It will help you learn and finish a piece faster and allow you to play with more musicality and confidence. I know that sounds like a big promise, but I'm confident I can deliver on it.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Join us at Back to School Night Are you ready to work with a Harp Mastery® Certified Coach? Click and find out.

And it all started with a handshake worth seven billion euros. Bornholm. Population: forty thousand souls. About the size of Tulsa, Oklahoma. For eight hundred years, this island has watched the tides of war and peace wash over Northern Europe. But last week, Bornholm became the center of the most ambitious energy project in human history. Here's what just happened. The European Commission signed the largest energy grant in EU history. Six hundred forty five million euros. Seven hundred fifty six million dollars. All for one little island. But that's just the beginning. Siemens Energy just won the contract to build four massive converter stations. Two on Bornholm. One on Zealand. One in Germany. The job? Converting three gigawatts of offshore wind power into electricity that can flow between countries. Think about that. Three gigawatts. That's enough power for four and a half million homes. And the cables to carry all that electricity? NKT, a Danish company, just signed a six hundred fifty million euro contract. They'll lay two hundred kilometers of underwater cable. That's one hundred twenty four miles of electrical cord running beneath the Baltic Sea. But here's where this story gets remarkable. The cable won't be laid by just any ship. It'll be installed by the NKT Eleonora. A cable laying vessel currently under construction. When it launches in twenty twenty seven, it'll be one of the most advanced ships in the world. Powered by renewable energy. Built specifically for this project. They're not just connecting countries. They're connecting the future. Thomas Egebo, the Danish project leader, says this is about more than electricity. Quote: We are taking a big step towards a future where offshore wind from the Baltic Sea will supply electricity to millions of consumers. End quote. But let me tell you what makes this story truly extraordinary. This isn't about one country getting richer. This is about sharing power. Literally. When Denmark has too much wind, Germany gets the surplus. When Germany needs more electricity, Denmark shares theirs. Two gigawatts flow to Germany. One point two gigawatts stay in Denmark. It's like having the perfect neighbor. The kind who loans you sugar when you're out, except the sugar is enough electricity to power Berlin. The construction timeline reads like something from science fiction. Construction begins in twenty twenty eight. The island goes operational in twenty thirty. By then, Bornholm will be the electrical heart of Northern Europe. But here's the part that will give you goosebumps. This project started during the pandemic. June twenty twenty. When the world was falling apart, when nations were closing borders, one hundred seventy one out of one hundred seventy nine Danish parliamentarians voted yes. Democrats and conservatives. Liberals and traditionalists. They all agreed on one thing: the future belongs to cooperation. Stefan Kapferer, the German project leader, calls this efficient offshore cross linking between all countries bordering the North and Baltic Seas. Translation: It's the birth of a European electrical network. One that shares power, shares security, and shares prosperity. The wind turbines will be built fifteen kilometers offshore. That's about nine miles from Bornholm's coast.

SynopsisThe year 2002 marked the 10th anniversary of BBC Music Magazine and to celebrate the magazine's editor asked British composer Colin Matthews to coordinate a bold commissioning idea: a set of seven orchestral variations on a theme by Henry Purcell: Hail, Bright Cecilia.The resulting suite, Bright Cecilia Variations, had its premiere on today's date in 2002 at a Last Night of the Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with the BBC Symphony led by American conductor Leonard Slatkin.Colin Matthews' orchestration of the Purcell theme was followed by Matthews' original variation, and in turn by six other variations composed by three additional British composers, namely Judith Weir, David Sawer and Anthony Payne, plus one each by the Danish composer Poul Ruders, Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg, and American composer Michael Torke.Torke had this to say about his variation: “I wanted to create almost a jungle frenzy, by having four drummers from the percussion section playing tom-toms and shadowing those rhythmic beatings with melodic woodwind and brass fragments all drawn from the original theme … The result is vigorous.” Music Played in Today's ProgramColin Matthews (b. 1946): Bright Cecilia: Variations on a Theme by Purcell; (BBC Philharmonic; Gianandrea Noseda, conductor; BBC Music Vol. 11, no. 3

An English epic poem that follows the exploits of Alfred the Great in his defense of Christian civilization in England from the heathen nihilism of the North. Following a string of defeats at the hands of the invading Danes, a vision from heaven in the river island of Athelney fills Alfred with joy and hope. Though it gives no promise of victory in the coming struggle, it inspires him to rally his chieftains for a last stand against the invading hordes. His adventures lead throughout the country as he gathers his men, and take him through the Danish camps disguised as a minstrel before culminating in the Battle of Ethandune and the prophesying of the enemy's subtle return in the ages to come. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this third installment from race week in Nice, host Matt Lieto catches up with three of the most powerful cyclists in the sport: Magnus Ditlev, Léon Chevalier, and Kristian Høgenhaug.First up is Magnus Ditlev, who has finished on the podium at the last two World Championships. The Danish powerhouse details his extensive preparation for the technical Nice course, revealing he's spent significant time practicing the descents and is now faster and more relaxed than two years ago. He offers a fascinating tactical breakdown of the bike course, identifying the middle plateau—after the main climb—as the critical section where he plans to make his move, and explains his strategic decision to race at a slightly heavier weight to improve his durability.Next, Léon Chevalier discusses his steady progression, having placed 5th in Nice in 2022 and 4th in Kona last year. He reflects on a demanding season chasing the IRONMAN Pro Series, which has left him feeling fatigued but has also taught him a valuable lesson about his own resilience, having consistently achieved top results while racing at what he considers 75% fitness. With a refreshingly honest perspective, Chevalier aims to be patient and fight for another top-10 finish.Finally, Kristian Høgenhaug shares the joyful news of becoming a new father just weeks before the race. He opens up about how fatherhood has given him a "newfound purpose" and hopes the famous "dad watts" will kick in on Sunday. After two previous DNFs in Nice, he's looking to create positive new memories on the course. He also discusses the tactical layers the Pro Series adds to the race, as he'll be keeping a close eye on his main rivals for the overall standings.
