24.01.2022 It looks like we are getting less intellectual.Researchers from the Ragnar Frisch Centre for Economic Research in Norway analysed some 730,000 IQ test scores of 18 to 19-year-old Norwegian men who took the tests as part of their compulsory military service. The tests took place between 1970 and 2009 and showed a turning point for the Flynn effect occurred for the post-1975 birth cohorts. Those born in 1991 scored about five points lower than those born in 1975, and three points lower than those born in 1962. Quite scary! https://www.news.com.au///ce3475a0817e65bd6e7710cca8b55074

23.01.2022 Danish sign language interpreters are at centre of fraud scandal. Apparently, a lot of sign language interpreters have been misusing their entitlement for a 20 hours of paid interpreting job per week. They have been invoicing councils for up $16,500.00 per month, sharing these wages with their clients for the services they actually never received. Michael Skou Vestergaard reported himself to the police for the fraud actions in the amount of DKK 600,000 (approx.$130,000). The police have started investigating other interpreters.https://politiken.dk//Danske-d%C3%B8ve-unders%C3%B8ges-for

02.01.2022 Tomorrow, on the 23rd of June, Danes will celebrate Sankt Hans, or Midsummer. If you are in Denmark, prepare to witness bonfires all over the country, and a lot of fun.The bonfires usually look like witches, made out of straw and cloth, in reference to the European wars of religion when witches were burnt at the stake. Rumors say, the witches fly back to Bloksbjerg in Harz, Germany, where it is suspected that a big witch hunt took place on that day. Photo credit: Odense Kommune
