October, 1955. In living rooms across Denmark, children tear open the box of a brand-new toy: the LEGO System in Play. Inside are plastic bricks, a printed playmat of roads, little houses and trees — everything in perfect scale. As they build, something new is taking shape.  It looks simple, but it's a radical idea — every piece connects, no matter when or where it's made. It's more than a toy — it's a system. That quiet innovation will turn a small family workshop into one of the most successful companies in the world. How did a small-town Danish carpenter launch a plastic toy empire? And how did LEGO re-envision what a toy can be? Special thanks to Kristian Reimber Hauge, corporate historian at the LEGO Idea House; Daniel Konstanski, historian for Blocks Magazine and author of The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks: The Story of a Design Icon; and Chris Byrne, researcher, historian, and “The Toy Guy.” We also want to thank Dana Goldsmith, Andreas Friis, and Roberta Cardazzo.

Election posters are a colorful part of democracy in Denmark. In October, the campaigns swing into gear, and when the whistle blows on a set date at precisely noon, teams of poster-hangers cover the country with the faces of their candidates. It's highly competitive; It's against the law to take down posters once they're hung, so there's a big rush to get your party's poster up first. So on that October afternoon, you'll see teams of young people rushing about Copenhagen, Aarhus, and countryside towns with ladders, and hardback posters, and zip ties, and measuring sticks, because all posters must be at least one-and-a-half meters below power lines. There are a lot of young people available to do this because most Danish parties have a youth wing. There are also a lot of young candidates. You'll often see the candidates themselves putting up posters with their own face on them. Danish design in election posters In a country famous for great design, Danish election posters are surprisingly uniform. Every poster features one smiling face, a name, and a party color — and that's it. No slogans, no promises, no policies. What does each candidate stand for? You'll have to look it up yourself. With 13 national political parties (and many more local ones), democracy in Denmark gives voters plenty of choices. Many Danes use online tools and quizzes to find the party that matches their beliefs before they vote. Democracy in Denmark: Expats can vote Foreigners can take part in democracy in Denmark at least at the local level. If you're an EU or UK citizen — or a non-EU citizen who has lived in a Danish municipality for at least four consecutive years — you can vote in local elections just like Danish citizens. In Copenhagen, foreign residents make up around 15% of the potential voter base, though only a small share actually turn out on election day. To reach them, some Danish political parties take part in debates in English, hoping to win over international voters. It's an interesting contrast in Danish politics: while some leaders actively court the foreign vote, others continue to promote stricter immigration policies. That mix is part of what makes democracy in Denmark so unique — open, practical, and sometimes a little contradictory.

In this week's special Nordic Visionaries episode on the Innovation Storytellers Show, I enjoyed a conversation that started at TechBBQ in Copenhagen and quickly stretched from refugee camps in Kenya to data centers in Norway and boardrooms in Silicon Valley. I sat down with Soulaima Gourani, a Moroccan-Danish entrepreneur now based in Palo Alto, for this special episode supported by the EU Nordic Council of Ministers and the governments of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland.  Soulaima shares how she went from growing up in remote Danish towns and troubled neighborhoods to becoming a VC-backed founder, keynote speaker, and author. She describes a life built on agency and resilience, from leaving home young and navigating early setbacks to discovering flow in a full calendar. Her line that pressure is a privilege sets the tone for a candid look at ambition, stamina, and the choices that shape a founder's path. We unpack her two current ventures, Happioh and Ailo. At Happioh, she is building an AI agent gym and a meeting spam filter that lives in the pre-meeting space, where agendas get fixed, invites improve, and agents are monitored and taken off air the moment they drift. That same scaffolding is supporting a healthcare use case in low-resource settings, where AI can nudge junior clinicians to ask the right questions and auto-complete forms so scarce doctors can see more patients with greater focus.  Storytelling runs through the entire discussion. Soulaima breaks down how she learned the language of venture, sharpened her narrative, and raised capital from scores of investors over Zoom. She talks openly about the realities of governance, the discipline of staying forever in beta, and the difference between being busy and being productive.  We also explore what the Nordics contribute to global innovation culture, from emotional intelligence and community orientation to the need to think bigger from day one. In the hot seat, she picks the internet as the greatest innovation, dreams about joining a space program, and makes a heartfelt case for curing cancer, noting why AI gives her real confidence that progress will arrive faster than many expect.

In this episode, I speak with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, co-founder of Puori, about what makes Omega-3 effective, why deficiencies persist even in fish-eaters, and how poor-quality creatine often contains contaminants.  He explains the importance of EPA and DHA ratios, how oxidation affects potency, and why plant sources often fall short. We also expose the risks of gummies and why full transparency in supplement testing matters.   "I would be a very happy man if I had a dollar every time someone said, 'fish oil is fish oil, isn't it?'" ~ Oliver Amdrup-Chamby   In This Episode: - Why are Omega-3s essential? How much, and the best sources - Vegan challenges with Omega-3 and DHA conversion - How to measure fish oil quality - Why fish oils go rancid and how to spot it - Heavy metals and toxins in fish oil - Capsules vs liquid: which is better and safer? - QR code transparency and third-party testing - Benefits of creatine: muscle, brain, longevity, menopause - Is synthetic creatine good?

In this episode of The Yard Sign, Florida's original political podcast, hosts Johnny Torres and David Cabrera welcome back PR expert and veteran Travis Horn for a lively mix of banter, breaking news, and sharp political analysis. Kicking off with lighthearted chats on stand-up comedy—praising Austin's scene, Joe Rogan, and Jim Gaffigan's "steakhouse laugh"—the trio dives into the bombshell Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal brokered by President Trump. They break down key components like the release of all hostages within 72 hours, Israel's swap of 250 life-sentence prisoners and 1,700 detainees for around 40 captives (half presumed dead), Hamas's arms laydown, IDF withdrawal, humanitarian aid resumption, and a new civilian Palestinian authority. Horn highlights Arab nations turning against Hamas, while Torres notes the deal's timing amid ongoing Gaza bombings and media skepticism from outlets like NBC. They react to rare bipartisan praise from Sen. Tim Kaine and tie it to Trump's Nobel buzz, contrasting it with ABC's Obama Nobel throwback shade. The conversation shifts to the unnoticed government shutdown (now week two), with furloughed feds getting paid vacations and essential workers grinding unpaid. Touching on economic wins like reversing the deficit for the first time in 15 years under Treasury guidance, they speculate on midterm impacts amid tariff battles and immigration focus. A quick pivot to the U.S.-Venezuela tensions sees Qatar mediating as Trump deploys 10,000 troops to Caribbean bases like Puerto Rico, striking "civilian boats" (read: cartel speedboats with khaki packages) while Rubio pushes Maduro's ouster. Banter ensues on Puerto Rico tales, La Perla neighborhoods, and corporate getaways. Fast-forward to DOGE Florida under new CFO Blayson Goglia (ex-Government Gone Wild YouTuber), who blasts Hillsborough County's wastes: $750K for a St. Pete mayor statue, $500K "leadership portal" (basically a YouTube course), and auto allowances amid ballooning budgets despite modest population growth. The group laments local GOP infrastructure failures, like unorganized District 5 races, and predicts Josh Wostel's principled reelection fight in blue-leaning Tampa. Wrapping with a Danish study on 321 Palestinian refugees (63% convicted, 55% on welfare; second-gen at 34% convicted, 37% welfare), they decry Europe's immigration woes paralleling U.S. debates. The episode closes on a humorous note with a skit on dodging NYC tickets by sympathizing with "Donnie" (cops), plus plugs for VFW 4321 karaoke and pop-up chef events.   Topic Chapters: 00:00 - Intro & Comedy Banter 05:09 - Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Breakdown 14:13 - Tim Kaine's Praise & Midterm Speculation 17:19 - U.S.-Venezuela Conflict & Qatar Mediation 21:05 - Truth Social Scoop & Puerto Rico Tales 50:04 - DOGE Florida with Blayson Goglia 55:13 - Hillsborough County Politics & Josh Wostel 59:05 - Turning Point USA & Latino Vote 01:03:51 - Danish Immigration Study 01:05:43 - Funny Cop Pull-Over Skit & Outro

Transcript:Da: Jens sad ved et lille bord på en brostensbelagt terrasse i Nyhavn.En: Jens sat at a small table on a cobblestone terrace in Nyhavn.Da: Aftenen var kølig, og efterårsløvet dansede i vinden.En: The evening was cool, and the autumn leaves danced in the wind.Da: De farverige huse ved kanalen spejlede sig i vandet, og lyset fra gadelygterne kastede et blødt skær over scenen.En: The colorful houses by the canal reflected in the water, and the light from the streetlamps cast a soft glow over the scene.Da: Han kiggede hen over bordet på Astrid, mens stearinlyset flakkede mellem dem.En: He looked across the table at Astrid, while the candlelight flickered between them.Da: Astrid smilede kærligt, og han vidste, at nu var det tid.En: Astrid smiled lovingly, and he knew that now was the time.Da: Jens havde planlagt denne aften med stor omsorg.En: Jens had planned this evening with great care.Da: I sin lomme bar han en kostbar familiering, der var gået i arv i generationer.En: In his pocket, he carried a precious family ring that had been passed down for generations.Da: Han havde drømt om dette øjeblik længe.En: He had dreamed of this moment for a long time.Da: Planen var enkel: en aften, der skulle kulminere i et spørgsmål.En: The plan was simple: an evening meant to culminate in a question.Da: De nød deres middag, da Jens pludselig opdagede, at ringen var væk.En: They were enjoying their dinner when Jens suddenly noticed that the ring was gone.Da: Hans hjerte sprang et slag over.En: His heart skipped a beat.Da: Han havde lagt den i en lille fløjlspose, og nu var posen sporløst forsvundet.En: He had put it in a small velvet pouch, and now the pouch had disappeared without a trace.Da: Astrid bemærkede hans uro.En: Astrid noticed his unease.Da: "Jens, er der noget galt?"En: "Jens, is something wrong?"Da: spurgte hun forsigtigt.En: she asked cautiously.Da: Jens forsøgte at holde roen.En: Jens tried to remain calm.Da: Han så sig omkring i restauranten, hvor andre gæster sad og snakkede.En: He looked around the restaurant, where other guests were sitting and talking.Da: Kun få bord længere væk sad en kvinde ved navn Freja.En: Just a few tables away sat a woman named Freja.Da: Jens lagde mærke til, at hun kiggede nervøst rundt og gentagne gange tjekkede sin taske.En: Jens noticed that she was looking around nervously and repeatedly checked her bag.Da: Var det en tilfældighed?En: Was it a coincidence?Da: Efter middagen, mens Astrid gik ud for at beundre udsigten, nærmede Jens sig Freja.En: After dinner, while Astrid went out to admire the view, Jens approached Freja.Da: "Undskyld, men mistede du noget?"En: "Excuse me, but did you lose something?"Da: spurgte han forsigtigt.En: he asked cautiously.Da: Freja satte en kop ned med et ryst og rødmede.En: Freja set down a cup with a shake and blushed.Da: "Øhm, ja, jeg troede, jeg havde tabt noget i min taske," sagde hun.En: "Um, yes, I thought I had dropped something in my bag," she said.Da: "Jeg mistede en ring.En: "I lost a ring.Da: Måske faldt den op i din?"En: Maybe it fell into yours?"Da: foreslog Jens med lav stemme.En: suggested Jens in a low voice.Da: Freja så overrasket ud og kiggede ned i sin håndtaske.En: Freja looked surprised and glanced into her handbag.Da: Efter en kort søgning trak hun en lille fløjlspose frem og sagde undskyldende: "Åh, det må være din.En: After a brief search, she pulled out a small velvet pouch and said apologetically, "Oh, it must be yours.Da: Den må være faldet ned, da servitøren gik forbi."En: It must have fallen in when the waiter walked by."Da: Jens tog spændt posen og takkede Freja.En: Jens eagerly took the pouch and thanked Freja.Da: Han gik tilbage til Astrid med ringen sikkert i hånden.En: He went back to Astrid with the ring safely in hand.Da: Hans hjerte slog hurtigt, men nu var beslutningen klar.En: His heart was pounding, but now his decision was clear.Da: "Skal vi gå en tur langs kanalen?"En: "Shall we take a walk along the canal?"Da: foreslog Astrid.En: suggested Astrid.Da: De gik side om side, og under den svage gadelygts lys faldt Jens på knæ.En: They walked side by side, and under the dim streetlamp light, Jens fell to one knee.Da: "Astrid, jeg elsker dig.En: "Astrid, I love you.Da: Vil du gifte dig med mig?"En: Will you marry me?"Da: Astrid lo glad og nikkede.En: Astrid laughed joyfully and nodded.Da: "Ja, selvfølgelig vil jeg det," sagde hun, mens tårerne glimtede i hendes øjne.En: "Yes, of course I will," she said as tears glistened in her eyes.Da: Det var ikke de perfekte omstændigheder, Jens havde forestillet sig, men det var perfekt alligevel.En: It was not the perfect circumstances Jens had imagined, but it was perfect nonetheless.Da: Han havde lært, at det at vise følelser ikke betød, at alt skulle være fejlfrit; det var hjertet, der betød noget.En: He had learned that showing emotion didn't mean everything had to be flawless; it was the heart that mattered.

We're keeping the Danish theme alive this week with a new brewery and a closed brewery. Tiny Hill in Copenhagen just has 4 beers listed on UnTapped. Merrimack is one of their first beers. It's a 5.5% ABV hazy IPA. Björn drops some serious Civil War knowledge on us about the Merrimack and its ties to Sweden. Baghaven was one of our favorite brewery and probably the last best thing Mikkeller has done. Sadly, it is no more but their wild ales are here to remind us of better times. Art Decadence Blend 1 is a Danish wild ale with cherries, red vineyard peaches, cabernet cortis grapes and vanilla beans. It's about 5 years old and it holds up pretty well.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #wildale #hazyipa #ipa

Send us a textA 35% drop in liver fat in under a week sounds impossible—until you see how a simple macro shift can redirect your metabolism. We dive into a Danish crossover study where calories stayed equal, protein held steady, and the only real change was carbohydrates versus fat. The result: rapid reductions in hepatic fat, lower triglycerides, improved insulin sensitivity, and clear signs of metabolic flexibility, all in four to five days. We unpack what that means for everyday eating, how to use CGM feedback to reduce glucose spikes, and why outcomes like organ fat and fat oxidation should trump a single lipid reading taken out of context.From there, we widen the lens. Fatty liver—now recognized as a hallmark of metabolic dysfunction—is staggeringly common, yet highly responsive to nutrition quality and distribution. We break down why modest carb moderation paired with quality fats and robust protein can stabilize energy, support endogenous GLP-1 signaling, and protect lean mass. We also confront a common confusion: “high fat” isn't a license for ultra-processed oils or low-fiber meals. When fats come from olive oil, avocado, nuts, eggs, and fish—and plants supply fiber and polyphenols—the microbiome, mitochondria, and glycemic control can all improve together.We close with practical implications for anyone using GLP-1 medications. Pharmacology can provide short-term traction, but it doesn't guarantee nourishment. A protein-forward, lower-glycemic template plus resistance training helps preserve muscle, sustain satiety, and potentially reduce medication reliance over time. If you're ready to swap shaky biomarkers for meaningful outcomes—and to see changes fast—this conversation offers a clear, evidence-backed roadmap. If it resonates, follow the show, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find The Health Edge.www.thehealthedgepodcast.com

year.Da: Efterårsblade svævede stille ned fra træerne, og jorden knasede let under hans fødder.En: Autumn leaves drifted gently down from the trees, and the ground crunched lightly under his feet.Da:

and pumpkin soup.Da: Lysene blinkede overalt som små stjerner, mens sjove lyde fra forlystelser kunne høres fra alle hjørner.En: Lights twinkled everywhere like little stars, while fun sounds from the rides could be heard from all corners.Da: Det var Halloween, og Jens, Astrid og Mikkel gik ivrigt mod spøgelsestoget.En: It was Halloween, and Jens, Astrid, and Mikkel eagerly headed towards the ghost

sammen.En: He had confronted his fear and found strength by working together.Da: Da toget kørte ud i det åbne, oplyst af Halloween-dekorationer og jubel fra gæster, forblev nærheden mellem dem stærk.En: As the train rolled out into the open, illuminated by Halloween decorations and cheers from guests, the bond between them remained strong.Da: Fra den aften vidste Jens, at ægte mod ikke var

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you'll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Lars Petersen, President & Chief Executive Officer at FUJIFILM Biotechnologies.   Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Lars, covering: The difficult decision to leave Novo Nordisk and make the jump from one great company to another in Genentech/Roche. How leaving a Biogen site led him to step away from big pharma after 25 years and transition to the CDMO side. How Fujifilm's culture of innovation, technology, quality, and people runs through the Biotechnologies division — and why empowerment and culture should never be compromised. Why the duplication of its CDMO sites globally, all running on the same kojoX platform, is truly differentiating. Why he believes the need to standardise, scale, and globalise drug production in a consistent, efficient, and traceable way is key to the future of the supply chain. Molecule to Market is also sponsored by Bora Pharma (boracdmo.com) and Charles River (www.criver.com), and supported by Lead Candidate.    Lars Petersen, CEO of FUJIFILM Biotechnologies, is recognized as a visionary leader in the life science sector, commanding a global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) with nearly 5,000 employees spread across Denmark, UK, USA, and Japan.    Distinguished for his strategic vision and a "people first" philosophy, Lars has profoundly impacted the company and the industry. His leadership journey saw him rise from Chief Operational Officer & Senior Vice President at the Danish site, where he established an empowering culture, to CEO, promoting transparency across all operations. Since his global leadership appointment in June 2023, Lars has been instrumental in cultural transformation, integrating a "people first" approach across FUJIFILM Biotechnologies' global facilities regardless of geographical differences.   Prior to his appointment as CEO, Lars was responsible for the Global Large Scale Commercial operation including full profit and loss accountability as well as the responsibility for over $6.2 Billion global expansions both in Hillerød, Denmark, and Holly Springs, North Carolina, USA.   Previously, Lars has held leadership positions with Biogen, Genentech/Roche, Novo Nordisk, Novozymes and NNE, and he has successfully executed projects in Europe, China and the US.   Lars holds a master's degree from the Technical University of Denmark.   Please subscribe, tell your industry colleagues and join us in celebrating and promoting the value and importance of the global life science outsourcing space.

“ For many of our guests, they normally say, ‘It's not just a stay, it's a memory in the making.' It's a place where time slows down and where the ordinary, what do you say, becomes something truly extraordinary.”We're in great company with Maria Oldenbjerg, the fairy godmother, formally known as the Hotel Director, of the Nimb Hotel in the heart of Copenhagen—where with the enchanting Tivoli Gardens as its lush backdrop, Nimb presents an unparalleled combination of subtle Scandinavian urban luxury, Danish design, meticulous service, and top-tier gastronomy, all infused with a touch of Tivoli enchantment. Born in 1909 within a Moorish-inspired "Bazaar," this architectural gem began as the vision of culinary entrepreneurs Vilhelm and Louise Nimb, who transformed their restaurant into the heartbeat of Copenhagen's dining scene. Today, as the only hotel nestled within Europe's oldest amusement park and recognized among Small Luxury Hotels' elite "Finest Collection" and “Considerate Collection,” Nimb continues to redefine what it means to create authentic and sustainable luxury experiences that blur the lines between heritage and innovation.As seasons change, and ours begins with this episode, Maria invites the young, and the young at heart, to discover how she transforms ordinary moments into something truly magical—where “hygge” isn't just a travel trend, but a way of welcoming the world home.  Top Takeaways[2:00] The Phone Call That Changed Everything: After her first hotel shift, Maria called her mother excitedly: "I found my dream job. I want to become a general manager one day." That clarity eventually led her home to Nimb, the luxury hotel she'd always admired.[6:00] Where Dreams Take Root: In 1909, visionaries Vilhelm and Louise Nimb built their Moorish palace within Tivoli Gardens - Europe's oldest amusement park - bringing the entire world to Copenhagen so Danes could taste and travel without leaving home.[15:30] The Garden That Never Sleeps: Guests wake to the quiet serenity of the pristine grounds as they anticipate the day's crowds. And after a day of excitement, guests retreat to find the soothing musical performances and twinkling lights linger like memories into the night.[16:00] Seasons of Wonder: The hotel breathes with Tivoli's rhythms - Easter treasure hunts, Halloween face painting, Christmas stockings crafted by Danish artisans, each moment woven into memory-making magic.[18:30] Rooms That Hold Stories: Each of Nimb's 38 spacious rooms and suites whispers secrets through understated luxury and timeless elegance, from handpicked antiques set against modern Danish design to complimentary “hygge bars" filled with local Danish delicacies.  [24:00] Culinary Theater: Dining at Nimb goes beyond the dish and becomes a storytelling medium, from Nimb Brasserie's French favorites to the Japanese Pagoda's rotating Michelin-starred chef residencies.[27:00] The Science of Renewal: A hidden wellness sanctuary redefines urban wellness - blending cutting edge technology with globally inspired ancient techniques - replenishing weary travelers with a sense of vitality.[38:40] Living Poetry: Peacocks wander as symbols of grace, their presence so beloved that feathers now adorn linens and inspire children's toys.Notable MentionsDanish DesignGeismars beddingToni fixturesBang & Olufsen audioArtist Cathrine Raben DavidsenFlowers by NimbFrederiksberg, CopenhagenAmager StrandparkDanish SmørrebrødVisit For YourselfNimb Hotel Website | @nimbcopenhagen

Edition No250 | 01-10-2025 - There has been a dramatic maritime showdown involving a grey fleet oil tanker, with shocking implications for Russia's hybrid warfare in Western Europe's backyard. French forces have just boarded a tanker tied to Russia's “shadow fleet,” suspected of launching drones over Denmark. Moscow fired back, calling the move “provocative.” We'll trace how these fits into a larger pattern: drone incursions, hybrid escalation, and Russia's threats towards Europe.Let's start with the facts as they're known. In late September 2025, multiple drone incursions over Danish airspace triggered disruptions at airports in Copenhagen and Aalborg. The flights were mysterious, unauthorized, and widely suspected to be part of a hybrid operation by Russia, though Moscow denied direct involvement. (Le Monde.fr)Around October 1, French authorities moved in. The oil tanker known as Boracay (formerly Pushpa among other aliases) — flagged under Benin but with opaque ownership ties — was boarded by French military personnel off the coast near Saint-Nazaire. (The Guardian)Two senior crew members — the captain and first mate — were arrested. The Brest prosecutor's office confirmed the investigation is ongoing, citing “very serious wrongdoings,” including refusal to cooperate and failure to justify the ship's nationality.

“a member of an aristocratic club” [BERY]  Sherlockians from around the world joined the members of the Sherlock Holmes Klubben i Danmark earlier this year to mark their 75th anniversary. While the club first met in 1950, the Danish appreciation of Sherlock Holmes is as old as the Great Detective himself, when translations, movies, and parodies of his cases first graced the pages of the country's newspapers.  Join us for a wide-ranging discussion with Christian Monggaard, BSI ("Neville St. Clair") to discover the exceptional community of artists and writers who first brought Holmes to the Danish public and formed the first societies.

This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Flemming Rose. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked  Twenty years ago, Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, sparking protests, riots and boycotts across the Muslim world.

Here, he explains why we must fight for the right to draw Muhammad, why we must never bow to Islamic intolerance and why self-censorship is the greatest enemy of free speech.
