royalty
- Old English Scylding (plural Scyldingas) and Old NorseSkjöldung (plural Skjöldungar), meaning in both languages "People of Scyld/Skjöld" refers to members of a legendary royal family of Danes, especially kings. The name is explained in many texts, such as Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann's 'Research on the Field of History' (German: Forschungen auf dem Gebiete der Geschichte), by the descent of this family from an eponymous king Scyld/Skjöld, but the title is sometimes applied to rulers who purportedly reigned before Scyld/Skjöld, and the supposed king Scyld/Skjöld may be an invention to explain the name. There was once a Norse saga on the dynasty, the Skjöldunga saga, but it survives only in a Latin summary by Arngrímur Jónsson.
- Danish Crown Prince Frederik is currently on a four-day trip to China, which will come to an end on September 26. Research, education and tourism are the main focus areas of the tour, which also involves the Danish Minister for Higher Education and Science, Søren Pind. Denmark’s future king has become a hot topic in China after his recent appearance on the extremely popular Chinese travel reality TV show Sisters on Trip. During an episode filmed in Copenhagen, the Crown Prince served the participating Chinese celebrities fresh Danish oysters directly from his personal freight bike. The young women, who this Saturday appeared in Beijing to see His Royal Highness live, were not disappointed. “He is very handsome,” said one according to Danish TV channel TV2. The Crown Prince is staying in Beijing for three days. On Sunday he visited Tsinghua University’s Life Long Learning Lab, which was developed in cooperation with the LEGO Foundation, the Danish Royal House confirmed. Today, he took part in the inauguration of the Danish Industry Foundation House, home of the Sino-Danish Center for Research and Education. It was Queen Margrethe II who, in 2014, cut the first sod of the building that her son is now officially opening. As part of the inauguration, the Crown Prince will take a run on the Great Wall, accompanied by students from the centre.https://gbtimes.com/popular-danish-crown-prince-visits-china

- In order to create more space for Copenhagen's development, CPH City & Port Development will extend Nordhavn by 100 hectares over the next 20 years. CPH City & Port Development will receive land to expand Nordhavn. A massive expansion will take place over the coming years along the north-east corner of Nordhavn. This work is being implemented in order to, among other things, create space for a 1,100 metre long quay that from 2013 will be able to accept up to three large cruise ships at the same time. With the current volumes of earth, the land reclamation project is expected to be completed in 2025, and Nordhavn will be expanded by almost 1 million m2.http://www.byoghavn.dk/english/development/districts-uk/district-nordhavnen-uk/land_reclamation-uk.aspx

Helsingør (/ˌhɛlsɪŋˈɜːr/ HEL-sing-UR, Danish: [hɛlseŋˈøɐ̯ˀ]; Swedish: Helsingör), classically known in English as Elsinore, is a city in eastern Denmark. The name Helsingør is derived from the word halsmeaning "neck" or "narrow strait", referring to the narrowest point of theØresund (Øre Sound) between what is now Helsingør and Helsingborg, Sweden. The people were mentioned as Helsinger(which may mean "the people of the strait") for the first time in King Valdemar the Victorious's Liber Census Daniæ from 1231 (not to be confused with the Helsings of Hälsingland in Sweden).
- Helsingør as it is known today was founded in the 1420s by the Danish king Eric of Pomerania. He established the Sound Dues in 1429, meaning all foreign ships passing through the strait had to pay a toll, which constituted up to two-thirds of Denmark's state income. With this income Eric of Pomerania built the castle Krogen. The castle was expanded in the 1580s and renamed Kronborg. All ships had to stop in Helsingør to get their cargo taxed and pay a toll to the Danish Crown, but it also generated a significant trade for the town. The Sound Dues were abolished in 1857 with the Copenhagen Convention, where all naval nations agreed to pay a one-time fee.
- In World War II, Helsingør was among the most important transport points for the rescue of Denmark's Jewish population during the Holocaust.
Zealand (Danish: Sjælland, pronounced [ˈɕeˌlænˀ]), at 7,031 km2, is the largest and most populous island in Denmark proper. The exact origin of the Danish name "Sjælland" is controversial. Sjæl in Danish today means "soul", but based on older records one can exclude this interpretation. Even a derivation derived from siô / sæ (meaning "sea") corresponding closely to the English name is today largely rejected – but it could be speculated that the English came up with their own separate name prior to the start of Danish research on the name's origin, and may have caused people thinking Sjælland means Zealand.In Norse mythology as told in the Gylfaginning, the island was created by the goddess Gefjun after she tricked Gylfi, the king of Sweden. She removed a piece of land and transported it to Denmark, which became Zealand. The vacant area was filled with water and became Mälaren.[4]However, since modern maps show a similarity between Zealand and the Swedish lake Vänern, it is sometimes identified as the hole left by Gefjun. Gefjun is queen of King Skjöldr, eponymous anchestor of the Scyldings, related to the etymological debate.Despite their identical names in English, the island is not connected historically to the Pacific nation of New Zealand, which is named after the Dutch province of Zeeland.Zealand gives its name to the Selandian era of the Paleocene.
Association
- The Nordic Council is a geo-political inter-parliamentary forum for co-operation between the Nordic countries. It was formed after the Second World War in 1952 to promote co-operation between the five Nordic countries. Its first concrete result was the introduction in 1952 of a common labour market and free movement across borders without passports for the countries' citizens. The Council consists of 87 representatives from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway andSweden as well as the autonomous areas of the Faroe Islands, Greenland and theÅland Islands. The representatives are members of parliament in their respective country/area and are elected by those parliaments. The Council holds ordinary sessions each year in October/November and usually one extra session per year with a specific theme. Since 1991 Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania participate with observer status, as well as the German state of Schleswig-Holstein since 2016. In 1971, the Nordic Council of Ministers, an intergovernmental forum, was established to complement the Council.

Bill Browder, an anti-money-laundering activist and investor, said Austrian banks had for years ignored red flags and enabled Russian criminals to launder funds abroad, according to documents sent to the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office and seen by the Financial Times. Raiffeisen shares fell 12.3 per cent on Tuesday. Investors were reacting to Hermitage Capital Management’s accusations, which are linked to a series of regulatory investigations and the release of an investigative report into money laundering by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.

- 靈北H. Lundbeck A/S (commonly known simply as Lundbeck) is a Danish international pharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development, production, marketing, and sale of drugs for the treatment of disorders in the central nervous system (CNS), including depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, epilepsy and insomnia.The company was founded by Hans Lundbeck in 1915, and was initially a trading company supplying a variety of goods to the Danish market, including machinery for manufacturing, aluminium foil, artificial sweeteners, and photographic equipment. Lundbeck entered the pharmaceutical market in 1924, importing medicines and cosmetics from companies based in other European and American countries. By the late 1930s, Lundbeck had begun to produce its own medicinal products and had established its own research department. Production continued during the Second World War, although it was limited due to a lack of raw materials. After the war, Lundbeck continued to grow and in 1957 the company introduced Truxal (chlorprothixene) for the treatment of schizophrenia, entering the market for brain disorders. In 1954, the Lundbeck Foundation was established to maintain and expand the activities of Lundbeck Group and also to provide funding for scientific research of the highest quality. From the late 1970s and up through the 1980s, Lundbeck diverted its old agency business and thus became a dedicated pharmaceutical company focusing on the production of drugs used to treat disorders and diseases of the central nervous system. In 1989, Lundbeck launched the antidepressant Celexa (citalopram), which became the cornerstone for the company’s international expansion and in 2009 Lundbeck, bought Ovation and established a commercial platform in the USA.

Somewhat dazed, officials from the Danish capital say they now receive inquisitive groups from Chinese municipalities virtually every week. The Chinese signed a contract with Danfoss, a local engineering company, to help Anshan kick its debilitating coal habit during a visit to Copenhagen by President Hu Jintao in June 2012. Danfoss was chosen because of its expertise in a field where the Danes are world leaders: improving the efficiency of massive urban heating networks. Once seen as dreary manufacturers of thermostats and valves, Denmark’s heating companies are now at the vanguard of a major strategic and environmental trend worldwide. The technology, known as district heating, takes heat that would otherwise be wasted from power stations or factories and uses it to warm water. The process has been used in Denmark for decades but is now gaining global attention. “We never thought that one day we would have a showcase city,” says Niels Christiansen, Danfoss’s chief executive. “It wasn’t orchestrated, it just happened. We pressed ahead with district heating and now have the most modern solutions.”

History
- The Danish West Indies (Danish: Dansk Vestindien) or Danish Antilles was a Danish colony in the Caribbean, consisting of the islands of Saint Thomas with 43 square miles (110 km2); Saint John with 42 square miles (110 km2); and Saint Croix with 100 square miles (260 km2). The Danish West India Guinea Company annexed the uninhabited island of Saint Thomas in 1672 and St. John in 1675. In 1733, Saint Croix was purchased from theFrench West India Company. When the Company went bankrupt in 1755, the King ofDenmark-Norway assumed direct control of the three islands. The Danish West Indies was occupied by Britain in 1802–1803 and 1807–1815, during the Napoleonic Wars. The intention of Danish colonization in the West Indies was to exploit the profitabletriangular trade, involving the exportation of firearms and other manufactured goods to Africa in exchange for slaves who were then transported to the Caribbean to staff the sugar plantations. The final stage of the triangle was the exportation of cargo of sugar and rum to Denmark. The economy of the Danish West Indies was dependent on slavery. After a rebellion, slavery was officially abolished in 1848, leading to the near economic collapse of the plantations. In 1852, the sale of the increasingly unprofitable colony was first debated in the Danish parliament. Denmark tried several times to sell or exchange the Danish West Indies in the late 19th and early 20th century, to the United States and the German Empire respectively. The islands were eventually sold for 25 million dollars to the United States, which took over the administration on 31 March 1917, renaming the islands the United States Virgin Islands.
- The Second Battle of Copenhagen (or the Bombardment of Copenhagen) (16 August – 5 September 1807) was a British bombardment of the Danish capital, Copenhagen in order to capture or destroy the Dano-Norwegian fleet, during the Napoleonic Wars. The incident led to the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War of 1807, which ended with the Treaty of Orebro in 1812. Britain's first response to Napoleon's Continental system was to launch a major naval attack on the weakest link in Napoleon's coalition, Denmark. Although ostensibly neutral, Denmark was under heavy French and Russian pressure to pledge its fleet to Napoleon. London could not take the chance of ignoring the Danish threat. In September 1807, the Royal Navy bombarded Copenhagen, seizing the Danish fleet, and assured use of the sea lanes in the North Sea and Baltic Sea for the British merchant fleet. A consequence of the attack was that Denmark did join the war on the side of France, but without a fleet it had little to offer. The attack gave rise to the term to Copenhagenize.

- The Egmont Group (formerly The Gutenberghus Group) is a Danish media corporation founded and rooted in Copenhagen, Denmark. The business area of Egmont has traditionally been magazine publishing but has over the years evolved to comprise mass media generally. The Egmont Group was founded by Egmont Harald Petersen in 1878 as a one-man printing business, but soon became a magazine business. It was originally called "P. Petersen, Printers", named after Petersen's mother, as he was still too young at the time to register his own company. The company was renamed Gutenberghus in 1914 (after the famous inventor of the printing press), a name it kept until 1992. Since 1948 Gutenberghus, looking for new opportunities, sent its editor Dan Folke to Walt Disney Productions, and he managed to acquire a license for publishing comic magazines in Scandinavia. In 1948 the company started to publish a Donald Duck comic magazine in Sweden (as Kalle Anka & C:o) and Norway (as Donald Duck & C:o), in 1949 also in Denmark (as Anders And & C:o). This magazine features all the well known Disney Characters, from Mickey Mouse to Little Hiawatha under license from Disney. With the acquisition in 1963 of the Danish publisher Aschehoug, Egmont also entered the book market.

- Denmark's approval for a controversial pipeline to pump more Russian gas into Europe will strengthen Russia's influence in the region, Ukraine warns. "This is not only a matter of energy security, it is a geopolitical issue," Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said of the Nord Stream 2 gas project.Plans for the 1,225km (760-mile) undersea pipeline have divided Europe.The Danish permit was the last major hurdle. The pipeline will run under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.The Russian-led Nord Stream 2 project has also infuriated the US, which fears the pipeline will tighten Russia's grip over the region's energy supply and reduce its own share of the lucrative European market for American liquefied natural gas.US President Donald Trump has said the pipeline, owned by Russia's Gazprom, could turn Germany into a "hostage of Russia".On Wednesday, Denmark said it had granted a permit for part of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to be constructed near the Baltic island of Bornholm.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50247793

In the coming weeks, they will find out if the momentum behind their dealmaking will hit a roadblock in Brussels. By October 7, Margrethe Vestager, the EU’s antitrust chief since April, will decide whether to block a merger in Denmark, her home country to put a brake on consolidation across Europe. The proposed joint venture between TeliaSonera and Telenor would reduce the number of mobile operators in the country from four to three, and is being watched closely as a possible precursor for two far larger four-to-three consolidation deals: Hutchison Whampoa’s £10bn acquisition of O2 in the UK and the merger between Three and Wind in Italy. In her first months as commissioner, Ms Vestager has been unusually vocal about telecoms tie-ups, arguing that they run a high risk of lifting consumer prices through reduced competition. She has also won a tough reputation, after issuing charges against US technology group Google and Gazprom, Russia’s gas export monopoly.
- https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/theres-a-danish-town-overrun-with-giant-oysters The most recent attack in Ribe wasn't a human one, though. Oh no. In the 60s, Pacific oysters were introduced to the Wadden Sea to bolster the local population. The mudflats, now on the UNESCO World Heritage list, were traditionally home to mussel banks and native oysters—food to help sustain the 12 million birds on their migratory pit-stop. A couple of consecutively warm summers, however, saw the Pacific Oyster population explode beyond all imagination. Suddenly, they took over. By the turn of the twentieth century the mussel beds were densely covered like some sort of permanent oysternami. There were up to 300 of the bastards per square metre. Now it's thought that there are around 500 tons of Pacific Oysters breeding in the area, all roughly the size of an average person's hand.

Alibaba, the ecommerce group which accounts for more than one-tenth of China’s retail sales, is talking with customs authorities in Hangzhou province to devise a way to bring the oysters into China. Nordic raw seafood has to go through special customs channels to enter China so Tmall, Alibaba’s site for large merchants such as Mondelez and Burberry, is exploring ways to expedite the process. Raw oysters are not overly popular in China, according to the China Fisheries and Seafood Expo, partly due to concerns about food safety. The Expo said it takes 60 to 72 hours for oysters to reach Chinese cities from their places of origin, adding that oysters can survive for about 10 days to two weeks after leaving water. Kristian Borbjerggaard, owner of Veno Seafood, which sells oysters from Limfjord, said he would be happy to start exporting to China but only if they paid a “good price”. “We don’t want to give it away; it’s a good oyster. But it could be fantastic to get Chinese customers,” he added.

Somewhat dazed, officials from the Danish capital say they now receive inquisitive groups from Chinese municipalities virtually every week. The Chinese signed a contract with Danfoss, a local engineering company, to help Anshan kick its debilitating coal habit during a visit to Copenhagen by President Hu Jintao in June 2012. Danfoss was chosen because of its expertise in a field where the Danes are world leaders: improving the efficiency of massive urban heating networks. Once seen as dreary manufacturers of thermostats and valves, Denmark’s heating companies are now at the vanguard of a major strategic and environmental trend worldwide. The technology, known as district heating, takes heat that would otherwise be wasted from power stations or factories and uses it to warm water. The process has been used in Denmark for decades but is now gaining global attention. “We never thought that one day we would have a showcase city,” says Niels Christiansen, Danfoss’s chief executive. “It wasn’t orchestrated, it just happened. We pressed ahead with district heating and now have the most modern solutions.”

History
- The Danish West Indies (Danish: Dansk Vestindien) or Danish Antilles was a Danish colony in the Caribbean, consisting of the islands of Saint Thomas with 43 square miles (110 km2); Saint John with 42 square miles (110 km2); and Saint Croix with 100 square miles (260 km2). The Danish West India Guinea Company annexed the uninhabited island of Saint Thomas in 1672 and St. John in 1675. In 1733, Saint Croix was purchased from theFrench West India Company. When the Company went bankrupt in 1755, the King ofDenmark-Norway assumed direct control of the three islands. The Danish West Indies was occupied by Britain in 1802–1803 and 1807–1815, during the Napoleonic Wars. The intention of Danish colonization in the West Indies was to exploit the profitabletriangular trade, involving the exportation of firearms and other manufactured goods to Africa in exchange for slaves who were then transported to the Caribbean to staff the sugar plantations. The final stage of the triangle was the exportation of cargo of sugar and rum to Denmark. The economy of the Danish West Indies was dependent on slavery. After a rebellion, slavery was officially abolished in 1848, leading to the near economic collapse of the plantations. In 1852, the sale of the increasingly unprofitable colony was first debated in the Danish parliament. Denmark tried several times to sell or exchange the Danish West Indies in the late 19th and early 20th century, to the United States and the German Empire respectively. The islands were eventually sold for 25 million dollars to the United States, which took over the administration on 31 March 1917, renaming the islands the United States Virgin Islands.
- The Second Battle of Copenhagen (or the Bombardment of Copenhagen) (16 August – 5 September 1807) was a British bombardment of the Danish capital, Copenhagen in order to capture or destroy the Dano-Norwegian fleet, during the Napoleonic Wars. The incident led to the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War of 1807, which ended with the Treaty of Orebro in 1812. Britain's first response to Napoleon's Continental system was to launch a major naval attack on the weakest link in Napoleon's coalition, Denmark. Although ostensibly neutral, Denmark was under heavy French and Russian pressure to pledge its fleet to Napoleon. London could not take the chance of ignoring the Danish threat. In September 1807, the Royal Navy bombarded Copenhagen, seizing the Danish fleet, and assured use of the sea lanes in the North Sea and Baltic Sea for the British merchant fleet. A consequence of the attack was that Denmark did join the war on the side of France, but without a fleet it had little to offer. The attack gave rise to the term to Copenhagenize.

- Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (Danish pronunciation: [ˈneɡolajˀ ˈfʁæːˀðʁæɡ ˈsɛvəʁin ˈɡʁɔndvi]; 8 September 1783 – 2 September 1872), most often referred to as N. F. S. Grundtvig, was a Danish pastor, author, poet, philosopher, historian, teacher and politician. He was one of the most influential people in Danish history, as his philosophy gave rise to a new form of nationalism in the last half of the 19th century. It was steeped in the national literature and supported by deep spirituality. Grundtvig holds a unique position in the cultural history of his country. Grundtvig and his followers are credited with being very influential in the formulation of modern Danish national consciousness. He was active during the Danish Golden Age, but his style of writing and fields of reference are not immediately accessible to a foreigner, thus his international importance does not match that of his contemporaries Hans Christian Andersenand Søren Kierkegaard. From 1813 to 1815, he attempted to form a movement to support the Norwegians against the Swedish government. Later he preached on how the weakness of the Danish faith was the cause of the loss of Norway in 1814. His sermon was met by an enthusiastic congregation in Copenhagen. Grundtvig withdrew from the pulpit because of lacking his own parish, and being barred by other churches.[18] In 1821 he resumed preaching briefly when granted the country living of Præstø, and returned to the capital the year after.From 1844 until after the First Schleswig War, Grundtvig took a prominent part in politics, developing from a conservative into an absolute liberal. In 1861 he received the titular rank of Bishop in the Church of Denmark, but without a see. He continued to write and publish until his death. He spoke from the pulpit at Vartov Church every Sunday until a few days before his death. His preaching attracted large congregations, and he soon had a following. His hymn book effected a great change in Danish church services, substituting the hymns of the national poets for the slow measures of the orthodox Lutherans. In all Grundtvig wrote or translated about 1500 hymns, including "God's Word Is Our Great Heritage" and "Det kimer nu til julefest".
- Grundtvig is the ideological father of the folk high school, though his own ideas on education had another focus. He advocated reforming the ailing Sorø Academy into a popular school aiming at another form of higher education than what was common at the university.
- In 1815 Grímur Jónsson Thorkelin published the first edition of the Epic of Beowulf titled De Danorum rebus gestis secul. III & IV : Poëma Danicum dialecto Anglosaxonica in a Latin translation. Despite his lack of knowledge of Anglo-Saxon literature, Grundtvig quickly discovered a number of flaws in Thorkelin's rendering of the poems. After his heated debate with Thorkelin, Johan Bülow (1751–1828), who had sponsored Thorkelin's work, offered to support a new translation by Grundtvig — this time into Danish. The result, Bjovulfs Drape (1820), was the first modern language translation of Beowulf.

- https://www.quora.com/If-English-is-my-first-language-how-challenging-will-I-find-learning-Danish A lot of Danish words are also similar. Tree is træ, shoe is sko, book is bog. Sometimes, words are slightly different but there are obvious similarities. For example, cloud is sky and pelt or hide is skind.Danish does have some quirks. The Danish counting system is different because it’s based on twenties, not tens. Fifty in Danish would be halvtreds — roughly half two score, 75 is femoghalvfjerds. Five and half seventy. It makes no sense to anyone but Danes. Imagine how a drunk Swede feels when arguing about a bar tab in Denmark. Danish spelling is not consistent with how it’s pronounced, at all. In French, you can generally just ignore the last third of the word. In Danish, the middle part of a word is usually swallowed. That makes spelling Danish a bit challenging. Danish has at least 30 vowel sounds and a glottal stop. Sounds are often formed deep in the throat which is a distinct challenge and even Danish children learn words more slowly than Swedish, German or English children. That means that even the slightest accent will make it difficult to understand people completely. Another challenge is that Danes will, upon hearing an accent — which they will with the first word — switch to English.
history
- 瓦爾德馬一世，又名瓦爾德馬大帝 Valdemar I of Denmark, also known as Valdemar the Great, was King of Denmark from 1146 until his death in 1182. The reign of King Valdemar I saw the rise of Denmark, which reached its zenith under his second son, and successor, King Valdemar II of Denmark. He was the son of Canute Lavard, Duke of Schleswig, a chivalrous and popular Danish prince, who was the eldest son of King Eric I of Denmark. Valdemar's father was murdered by Magnus the Strong, days before the birth of Valdemar; his mother, Ingeborg of Kiev, daughter of Grand Prince Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden, named him after her grandfather, Vladimir Monomakh, Grand Prince of Kiev. As an heir to the throne, and with his rivals quickly gaining power, he was raised at Ringsted in the court of Danish nobleman Asser Rig of Fjenneslev (ca. 1080-1151). Asser was a member of the Hvide noble family and had been raised together with Valdemar's father Canute Lavard. Valdemar was raised together with Asser's sons, including Absalon (c. 1128–1201) who would become his trusted friend and minister and who would serve as Bishop of the Diocese of Roskilde from 1158-92 and Archbishop of Lund from 1178 until his death. In 1146, when Valdemar was fifteen years old, King Eric III of Denmark abdicated and a civil war erupted. The pretenders to the throne were: Sweyn III Grathe, son of King Eric II of Denmark, the son of King Eric I; and Canute V, son of Magnus the Strong, the son of King Niels of Denmark, brother of King Erik I. Valdemar himself held Jutland, at least Schleswig, as his possession. The civil war lasted the better part of ten years. In 1157, the three agreed to divide the country in three among themselves. Sweyn hosted a great banquet for Canute, Absalon, and Valdemar, during which he planned to dispose of all of them. Canute was killed, but Absalon and Valdemar escaped. Valdemar returned to Jutland. Sweyn quickly launched an invasion, only to be defeated by Valdemar in the Battle of Grathe Heath on 23 October 1157. He was killed during flight, supposedly by a group of peasants who stumbled upon him as he was fleeing from the battlefield. Valdemar, having outlived all his rival pretenders, became the sole King of Denmark. In 1158, Absalon was elected Bishop of Roskilde, and King Valdemar I made him his chief friend and advisor. The King reorganized and rebuilt war-torn Denmark. He built Sønderborg Castle as a fortified fortress, constructed on an islet in the Als Strait (Als Sund) that later was connected to Als Island. At Absalon's instigation, he declared war upon the Wends who were raiding the Danish coasts. They inhabited Pomerania and the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea. In 1168, the Wendish capital, Arkona, was taken, and the Wends became Christians and subject to Danish suzerainty. Danish influence had reached into Pomerania. In 1175, King Valdemar I built Vordingborg Castle as a defensive fortress and as a base from which to launch raids against the German coast.
- Battle of Fotevik (Danish: Slaget ved Fodevig) was fought between forces of King Niels of Denmark and his son Magnus Nilsson, against those of Erik Emune on 4 June 1134 at the bay of Fotevik in Skåne. At his death, King Eric I of Denmark had two known sons who were candidates for succession to the throne, Canute Lavard and Erik Emune. Canute, as Eric's only legitimate son, had a particularly strong claim. When King Eric's younger brother Niels was selected instead, becoming King Niels, Canute was forced to flee. In January 1131 he was trapped in a forest near Ringsted in Zealand, and executed. Some sources consider it to have been a murder committed by Magnus Nilsson, while some attribute it to King Niels himself. The new king and his son soon found themselves in a civil war against Lavard's half-brother Eric Emune. The death of Canute Lavard had provoked a civil war that would last intermittently until 1157. At the Battle of Fotevik, the forces of King Niels were taken by surprise by a contingent of German soldiers on horses. Cavalry attack on a large scale had previously only rarely been used in Scandinavia. Magnus Nilsson was slain, together with the six (possibly five) bishops and a large number of the priests accompanying the invading army. A half brother of Canute Lavard, Harald Kesja, together with eight of his sons who had sided with King Neils, were subsequently captured and decapitated near Vejle in Jutland. After the battle, King Niels fled with the remnants of his fleet to Schleswig. He was murdered on 25 June 1134 by the city's burghers. The battle was a decisive victory for Eric, who became the next King of Denmark as Eric II.

- Hygge is as Danish as pork roast and it goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. In essence, hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm glow of candlelight is hygge. Friends and family – that’s hygge too. There's nothing more hygge than sitting round a table, discussing the big and small things in life.

- https://www.quora.com/If-English-is-my-first-language-how-challenging-will-I-find-learning-Danish A lot of Danish words are also similar. Tree is træ, shoe is sko, book is bog. Sometimes, words are slightly different but there are obvious similarities. For example, cloud is sky and pelt or hide is skind.Danish does have some quirks. The Danish counting system is different because it’s based on twenties, not tens. Fifty in Danish would be halvtreds — roughly half two score, 75 is femoghalvfjerds. Five and half seventy. It makes no sense to anyone but Danes. Imagine how a drunk Swede feels when arguing about a bar tab in Denmark. Danish spelling is not consistent with how it’s pronounced, at all. In French, you can generally just ignore the last third of the word. In Danish, the middle part of a word is usually swallowed. That makes spelling Danish a bit challenging. Danish has at least 30 vowel sounds and a glottal stop. Sounds are often formed deep in the throat which is a distinct challenge and even Danish children learn words more slowly than Swedish, German or English children. That means that even the slightest accent will make it difficult to understand people completely. Another challenge is that Danes will, upon hearing an accent — which they will with the first word — switch to English.
Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania (Danish: Fristaden Christianiaor Staden), is a self-proclaimedautonomous neighborhood of about 850 residents, covering 34 hectares (84 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn in theDanish capital Copenhagen. Civic authorities in Copenhagen regard Christiania as a large commune, but the area has a unique status in that it is regulated by a special law, the Christiania Law of 1989, which transfers parts of the supervision of the area from the municipality of Copenhagen to the state. It was temporarily abandoned by residents in April 2011 while discussions continued with the Danish government about its future, but is now open again.[1] Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. In the years following 2004, measures for normalizing the legal status of the community led to conflicts, police raids and negotiations.

- 瓦爾德馬一世，又名瓦爾德馬大帝 Valdemar I of Denmark, also known as Valdemar the Great, was King of Denmark from 1146 until his death in 1182. The reign of King Valdemar I saw the rise of Denmark, which reached its zenith under his second son, and successor, King Valdemar II of Denmark. He was the son of Canute Lavard, Duke of Schleswig, a chivalrous and popular Danish prince, who was the eldest son of King Eric I of Denmark. Valdemar's father was murdered by Magnus the Strong, days before the birth of Valdemar; his mother, Ingeborg of Kiev, daughter of Grand Prince Mstislav I of Kiev and Christina Ingesdotter of Sweden, named him after her grandfather, Vladimir Monomakh, Grand Prince of Kiev. As an heir to the throne, and with his rivals quickly gaining power, he was raised at Ringsted in the court of Danish nobleman Asser Rig of Fjenneslev (ca. 1080-1151). Asser was a member of the Hvide noble family and had been raised together with Valdemar's father Canute Lavard. Valdemar was raised together with Asser's sons, including Absalon (c. 1128–1201) who would become his trusted friend and minister and who would serve as Bishop of the Diocese of Roskilde from 1158-92 and Archbishop of Lund from 1178 until his death. In 1146, when Valdemar was fifteen years old, King Eric III of Denmark abdicated and a civil war erupted. The pretenders to the throne were: Sweyn III Grathe, son of King Eric II of Denmark, the son of King Eric I; and Canute V, son of Magnus the Strong, the son of King Niels of Denmark, brother of King Erik I. Valdemar himself held Jutland, at least Schleswig, as his possession. The civil war lasted the better part of ten years. In 1157, the three agreed to divide the country in three among themselves. Sweyn hosted a great banquet for Canute, Absalon, and Valdemar, during which he planned to dispose of all of them. Canute was killed, but Absalon and Valdemar escaped. Valdemar returned to Jutland. Sweyn quickly launched an invasion, only to be defeated by Valdemar in the Battle of Grathe Heath on 23 October 1157. He was killed during flight, supposedly by a group of peasants who stumbled upon him as he was fleeing from the battlefield. Valdemar, having outlived all his rival pretenders, became the sole King of Denmark. In 1158, Absalon was elected Bishop of Roskilde, and King Valdemar I made him his chief friend and advisor. The King reorganized and rebuilt war-torn Denmark. He built Sønderborg Castle as a fortified fortress, constructed on an islet in the Als Strait (Als Sund) that later was connected to Als Island. At Absalon's instigation, he declared war upon the Wends who were raiding the Danish coasts. They inhabited Pomerania and the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea. In 1168, the Wendish capital, Arkona, was taken, and the Wends became Christians and subject to Danish suzerainty. Danish influence had reached into Pomerania. In 1175, King Valdemar I built Vordingborg Castle as a defensive fortress and as a base from which to launch raids against the German coast.

Many of her novels and trilogies are interlinked and set in the world of Velgarth, mostly in and around the country of Valdemar. Her Valdemar novels include interaction between human and non-human protagonists with many different cultures and social mores. Her other main world is one much like our own, but it includes clandestine populations of elves, mages, vampires, and other mythical beings. The Bedlam's Bard books describe a young man with the power to work magic through music; the SERRAted Edge books are about racecar driving elves; and the Diana Tregarde thrillers center on a Wiccan who combats evil.
- Battle of Fotevik (Danish: Slaget ved Fodevig) was fought between forces of King Niels of Denmark and his son Magnus Nilsson, against those of Erik Emune on 4 June 1134 at the bay of Fotevik in Skåne. At his death, King Eric I of Denmark had two known sons who were candidates for succession to the throne, Canute Lavard and Erik Emune. Canute, as Eric's only legitimate son, had a particularly strong claim. When King Eric's younger brother Niels was selected instead, becoming King Niels, Canute was forced to flee. In January 1131 he was trapped in a forest near Ringsted in Zealand, and executed. Some sources consider it to have been a murder committed by Magnus Nilsson, while some attribute it to King Niels himself. The new king and his son soon found themselves in a civil war against Lavard's half-brother Eric Emune. The death of Canute Lavard had provoked a civil war that would last intermittently until 1157. At the Battle of Fotevik, the forces of King Niels were taken by surprise by a contingent of German soldiers on horses. Cavalry attack on a large scale had previously only rarely been used in Scandinavia.

A half brother of Canute Lavard, Harald Kesja, together with eight of his sons who had sided with King Neils, were subsequently captured and decapitated near Vejle in Jutland. After the battle, King Niels fled with the remnants of his fleet to Schleswig. He was murdered on 25 June 1134 by the city's burghers. The battle was a decisive victory for Eric, who became the next King of Denmark as Eric II.

- The Kiel Canal (German: Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, literally "North-[to]-Baltic Sea canal", formerly known as the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal) is a 98-kilometre (61 mi) long freshwater canal in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The canal was finished in 1895, but later widened, and links the North Sea at Brunsbüttel to the Baltic Sea at Kiel-Holtenau. The first connection between the North and Baltic Seas was constructed while the area was ruled by Denmark-Norway. It was called the Eider Canal, which used stretches of the Eider River for the link between the two seas. Completed during the reign of Christian VII of Denmark in 1784, the Eiderkanal was a 43-kilometre (27 mi) part of a 175-kilometre (109 mi) waterway from Kiel to the Eider River's mouth at Tönning on the west coast. It was only 29 metres (95 ft) wide with a depth of 3 metres (10 ft), which limited the vessels that could use the canal to 300 tonnes. After 1864 Second Schleswig War put Schleswig-Holstein under the government of Prussia (from 1871 the German Empire), a new canal was sought by merchants and by the German navy, which wanted to link its bases in the Baltic and the North Sea without the need to sail around Denmark. In June 1887, construction started at Holtenau, near Kiel. The canal took over 9,000 workers eight years to build. On 20 June 1895 the canal was officially opened by Kaiser Wilhelm II for transiting from Brunsbüttel to Holtenau.

Construction on the fence was beginning on Monday along the northern edge of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Danish lawmakers and the country’s environmental agency approved the project last summer, arguing it would help farmers protect their pigs against African swine fever (ASF). The disease, lethal for pigs, has not yet been spotted in Denmark or Germany but it is common in eastern Europe and there was a small outbreak in Belgium last autumn. Though the threat of ASF may not sound alarming on its face, pigs and pork production are no joke in Denmark. The country has nearly twice as many pigs as people – it’s home to more than 12 million pigs across 3,000 farms, compared with a human population of just under 6 million – and pig exports account for billions of pounds annually.

The booming consumerism in China offers a "blue ocean" for overseas niche market players,despite the prospect of being rocked by waves in the shape of a slowing economy andchallenges from e-commerce - so believes the top manager of a century-old hong. "When I joined the company, there was a lot of discussion about disintermediation - why do youneed a middleman? What are the values that companies like Jebsen bring to the table? Do youcreate value or just take margin?" recalled Helmuth Hennig, group managing director of Jebsen &Co Ltd. "We have no God-given right to be here. We need to work hard to create value. At the end of theday, (we would survive) only if we were innovative," Hennig told China Daily in a leadershipinterview. Established by two Danish families in 1895, when the last Chinese empire under the QingDynasty (1644-1911) was on the wane, Jebsen started its journey as a shipping agency, oneamong the thousands of hong in colonial Hong Kong. Despite the dramatic changes in the business landscape in the last 120 years, the companynever shifted its focus away from China and the region, even during World War II and the"cultural revolution" (1966-76) years. Their top picks, though, evolved from BASF indigo dye inthe late 19th century, to various automobile brands and consumer goods today. Its four strategic business units are consumer, beverage, industrial and motors, complementedby specialized businesses including logistics and marine. According to the company website,Jebsen supports the value chain of its partners from brand building, marketing, import andlogistics, to sales and distribution to a wide network of wholesalers, retailers and consumers.
