Kentucky is moving forward with its plan to create its own office of government efficiency Senate Bill 257 unanimously passed out of a Senate committee on Monday PADUCAH — Kentucky is moving forward with its plan to create its own office of government efficiency mirroring the new Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency A similar resolution is also filed in the state house and is co-sponsored by a local state representative Kim Holloway said the goal is to identify areas of potential savings and improvements KOGE would be a task force monitoring the executive branch Holloway said it's a step above the work the legislature is already doing “The House Majority caucus has been applying this philosophy to every reform modernization it has tackled since 2017 but rarely are they reviewed for effectiveness,” Holloway said Holloway said the KOGE task force would look into several state agencies like the departments of education the public protection cabinet and others working under Gov There's concern that KOGE will adopt the same practices as its national counterpart The national Department of Government Efficiency is under fire for its money saving measures DOGE is responsible for cutting several federal programs and laying off hundreds of thousands of employees Holloway said KOGE wouldn't be nearly as aggressive “The overall goal is not to slash programs just for the sake of slashing them… It is certainly not my intent and certainly not the other co-sponsors' intent to leave Kentuckians hanging and leave them without the services that they need We just want to make sure that we have put all of their money to good use,” Holloway said Local 6 asked Holloway why this new department was necessary in Kentucky considering the general fund surplus has exceeded $1 billion for four years in a row Holloway agrees that the commonwealth is doing very well economically but she said the job of ensuring taxpayer money is spent properly is never finished the Kentucky Office of Government Efficiency would take effect July 1 Email notifications are only sent once a day Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security

International License Since originality is dead and redundancy is in—Kentucky has been quick to join the list of states mirroring the new, and legally questionable, Department of Governmental Efficiency or DOGE at the state level The proposed Kentucky Senate Bill 257 (SB 257) aims to establish the Office of Government Efficiency within the Auditor of Public Accounts tasked with evaluating and recommending improvements to the efficiency and performance of state government agencies Aiming to cut waste and be more efficient is good I am annoyingly known to be very efficient with how much I have to talk aiming for fewer words because I don’t love hearing my own voice I also have had relationships struggle because of my incessant need to be efficient…like looking up the EXACT time to head to dinner based on traffic patterns– so far be it from me to criticize anyone wanting to work at efficiency doesn’t factor in are the possible inadvertent negative impacts on marginalized groups including LGBTQ individuals and people of color when the costs start getting cut—stuff for people who are of the lesser regarded class Efficiency initiatives often lead to budget cuts or restructuring of programs deemed non-essential Services specifically supporting marginalized communities such as LGBTQ health programs or minority outreach initiatives might be at risk if they are not prioritized thereby reducing access to critical resources for these populations A primary focus on cost-cutting may also neglect to factor in the importance of equity that word some people are now trying to paint as a negative when really it is anything but A valid concern with KOGE is how it would handle programs and services designed to address systemic disparities which pose a risk of being undervalued if their benefits are not immediately quantifiable in economic terms potentially exacerbating existing inequalities without explicit inclusion of diverse perspectives in the evaluation process the unique needs of marginalized groups might be overlooked This oversight can result in recommendations that do not account for the challenges faced by these communities leading to policies that are not inclusive or queer and laying them out for more scrutiny—what happens with an agency tasked with protecting people who are discriminated against for being a woman Does KOGE make it easier to fire or choose to not hire a queer or Black applicant the chilling effect on the work of an agency can be pretty severe this can lead to increased unemployment among populations already facing employment challenges Kentucky rarely leads on things outside of bourbon The desire to be one of the first states to emulate DOGE at the state level is befuddling State legislatures already have sweeping authority to monitor and provide oversight of the same things KOGE seeks to address Does it have a cool name that gets a tweet but the purpose can be carried out without endangering vital services to marginalized communities isn’t it super-efficient to have multiple offices doing the same thing You must be logged in to post a comment creating the Kentucky Office of Government Efficiency Inspired

million to construct a factory at an existing site in Denmark A subsidiary of Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk is investing 1.5 billion Danish kroner to build a new factory at an existing site in Køge a small seaside town about 25 miles southwest of Copenhagen The facility will span some 8,000 square meters and support drug production and storage as well as contain office and laboratory space It’s

and unsettling event unfolded near Copenhagen Around 20 large drones were seen flying in formation over the busy harbor of Køge a peaceful port city just south of the capital Eyewitnesses were shocked when the drones seemed to rise directly from the water flying in a coordinated pattern before disappearing over the bay The Danish authorities have confirmed the drones were hovering near the marina and the incident has raised alarms across the country These drones did not have permission to fly in Danish airspace Denmark has strict laws regarding drone use especially in public areas and near critical infrastructure The unauthorized flight of these drones is a serious violation of the country’s rules When local police investigated the situation they were surprised by the drones’ behavior Unlike the typical recreational drones seen in many areas and seemed to operate as if they were part of a much bigger plan a special unit tasked with investigating matters of national security The department is now working to find out where these drones came from Although there have been no reports of injuries or damage the authorities are concerned about the unusual nature of the drones and their unauthorized flights The drones spotted in Denmark are not the first of their kind there were reports of similar incidents in New Jersey Residents there also saw large drones flying in coordinated groups emerging from the Atlantic Ocean and heading inland These drones were also described as much larger than usual operating in a way that suggested they were part of a planned mission rather than random flights Spy Drones Wreak Havoc Over U.S. Military Bases, Raising Security Concerns but the origin of these drones remains a mystery No one has been able to explain how they were able to appear from the ocean or why they were moving toward sensitive areas like military bases and airports The similarities between the incidents in Denmark and New Jersey particularly the way the drones appeared from the water and flew in formation have raised many questions about whether these sightings are linked The strange nature of these drone sightings has led to even more troubling concerns An investigation into recent events has suggested that these drones may be connected to a larger Some reports claim that advanced drone technology including the use of drones that can carry very heavy payloads These drones could potentially be used for surveillance or even carry out attacks The possibility that these drones are part of a bigger plan involving sophisticated technology is worrying for many If these drones are indeed part of a larger effort they could represent a new type of warfare one that uses technology to strike at vulnerable targets without warning and carry out missions without being detected by traditional security measures is a serious challenge for modern defense systems The Danish police and intelligence services are continuing their investigation into the mystery of the drones near Køge the public remains uncertain about the true nature of these drones and the authorities are working to piece together more information Whether these incidents are isolated or part of something larger the unusual behavior of the drones and the unexplained nature of their appearance have created a sense of unease among both the people of Denmark and the global

Danish Police’s Deputy Inspector, Michael Sehested, explained, “We do not know where the drones came from or what they were doing. We have been in contact with several other authorities in this case, but we do not know why the drones were over Køge. We are now trying to find out.” The reports of the drones came in around 22:30 on Friday 3rd January 2025. After checking permits for drone flights in the area, Police discovered that no permits had been issued and that the flights were considered illegal. Sehested commented, “A witness believed he spotted up to 20 large drones flying over the area around the marina in Køge. So we dispatched a patrol to the area, and they were able to record four drones.” Eventually, the drones disappeared over towards the sea, and the last of them was spotted at around 1:16 am.Photo By Jens Cederskjold, Wikicommons This is 7 of the Kvindeligaen Championship Group The current head to head record for the teams are OB Q 1 win(s) Have scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches Have scored 8 goals in their last 5 matches OB Q is playing home against HB Køge on Sat 2023) – The ECNL is pleased to announce that Slammers FC HB Køge has won the 2022-23 ECNL Girls Overall Club Championship This honor is awarded to the club that earned the highest total points from regular-season conference games and performance at the ECNL National Playoffs and Finals Winning this championship requires consistent excellence across all age groups throughout the season “We’re humbled and honored to be named a club champion because there are amazing clubs in this league,” said Walid Khoury Slammers FC HB Køge ECNL Girls Director “The club title is something we set out to achieve every year It’s the standard we set for ourselves as a club.” Slammers finished first in the Southwest Conference in three age groups (U16 qualified all six teams to the ECNL Girls National Playoffs in San Diego and advanced four teams to the ECNL Girls National Finals in Richmond the Slammers U18/19 side captured the ECNL Girls National Championship Trophy in San Diego while their U13 side took home the ECNL Girls National Championship in Richmond “You have to go play the best the country has to offer,” Khoury said “Just to be named among these clubs and move teams into quarterfinals and semifinals is an accomplishment in itself because the top clubs in the ECNL are very good.” Khoury noted how the cohesion that exists in the club is a key element to their success each season “There’s many layers besides just the competitive part Solar finished first in three age groups in the Texas Conference (U13 U16) and qualified five teams for the ECNL Girls National Playoffs At the ECNL Girls National Finals in Richmond Solar brought home the U16 ECNL National Championship San Diego Surf finished third in the overall club rankings after they qualified five teams for the ECNL Girls National Playoffs and had four of those teams (U13 U17) advance to the ECNL Girls National Finals Real Colorado National qualified all six of their teams for the ECNL Girls National Playoffs in San Diego and advanced two teams (U13 and U15) to the ECNL Girls National Finals which saw them finish fourth in the overall club rankings also qualified all six of their teams to the ECNL Girls National Playoffs Below is the full list of the Top 25 clubs Congratulations to all the clubs who made the list The ECNL is the nation’s leading youth soccer development platform The ECNL respects and celebrates the unique individuality of every youth soccer player and club supporting and enabling them to unleash their unfettered passion and fierce tenacity in striving to achieve their potential The ECNL mission to Raise the Game is a total commitment to create the best possible environment for players with a determination to constantly question convention and challenge the status quo in youth sports Continued in the ever-evolving pursuit of excellence www.TheECNL.com Girls FB: /ECNLGirls | Girls IG: @ECNLGirls | Girls TW: @ECNLGirls Text description provided by the architects.

Back in 2010, SLA contributed to the winning development plan for Køge's former industrial port and railway area, Køge Kyst. The overall vision was to create a social, vibrant, and sustainable district by the coast that would strengthen Køge's role as an important center in the Copenhagen Metropolitan Area and the Oresund region. © Mikkel EyeThe nature design. The public space design in The South Harbor is focused on bringing nature close to people. Here, this goes hand in hand with sensuous nature experiences, a high biodiversity, and a low need for maintenance. © Mikkel EyeThe promenade. The coastal areas near Køge are at high risk of flooding during storm surges the elevated promenade around The South Harbor therefore also serves as a tidal dike The wide promenade is envisioned as the connector to the surrounding nature Along its south-facing edges are stairs and recreational spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy the sun or access the footpaths of the large salt meadow the promenade will extend to Køge's harborfront experience traces of the area’s industrial heritage and enjoy the view over the waters of the bay You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Denmark – Taking her soccer talents to the next level Virginia Tech women's soccer alumna Nicole Kozlova has signed a professional contract with HB Køge inside Gjensidige Kvindeliga – Denmark's premier women's soccer league Kozlova touched down in Denmark on Wednesday as she prepares to join the club during its preparation for the spring's championship round campaign which has won three consecutive league trophies (awarded biannually per season) will pursue a fourth straight title during the 2021-22 championship round taking place between late March and early June Kozlova found the back of the net 14 times during her 40-match tenure with the Hokies registering six assists while making 37 starts After taking a medical redshirt during her freshman 2018 season she bounced back to lead Tech in scoring during 2019 (five goals capping her collegiate career in 2021 with her seven-goal four-assist campaign during the program's run to the second round of the NCAA tournament Kozlova's most notable Tech highlight occurred during the team's September 2021 match at No 12 South Carolina when she slid in the match-winning goal during the first half of the Hokies' 1-0 upset victory She graduated from Virginia Tech in December earning her bachelor's degree in computational modeling and data analytics with a minor in mathematics Kozlova – born in Canada to her Ukrainian parents Dmitry and Olya – has been a regular call-up to the Ukrainian Women's National Team devoting parts of the 2020-21 and 2021 college seasons to international duty she competed for Ukraine during 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying scoring the opening goal during Ukraine's 4-0 UEFA Group B victory against the Faroe Islands HB Køge head coach Søren Randa-Boldt addressed the significance of Kozlova's signing in the club's welcome announcement (translated from Danish): "Our contacts and good networks in the [United States] have helped us find a really good striker she is hardworking and aggressive and then she becomes one who is going to be really annoying to play against for our opponents she is a national team player for a large European nation in Ukraine and is a hallmark of quality."

these have been major contributors to ice loss in the last two decades the Holocene history of this area has not been investigated We present a 9100 year sediment core record of glaciological and oceanographic changes from analysis of foraminiferal assemblages Results show that ice-rafted debris accumulated constantly throughout the core; this demonstrates that glaciers in Køge Bugt remained in tidewater settings throughout the last 9100 years This observation constrains maximum Holocene glacier retreat here to less than 6 km from present-day positions Retreat was minimal despite oceanic and climatic conditions during the early-Holocene that were at least as warm as the present-day The limited Holocene retreat of glaciers in Køge Bugt was controlled by the subglacial topography of the area; the steeply sloping bed allowed glaciers here to stabilise during retreat These findings underscore the need to account for individual glacier geometry when predicting future behaviour We anticipate that glaciers in Køge Bugt will remain in stable configurations in the near-future despite the predicted continuation of atmospheric and oceanic warming Core description: ER1116. X-ray and linescan images of ER1116 are shown on a common scale. Black markers show the dated horizons; 14C ages are shown in calibrated years BP with errors of ±2σ. Samples which returned no excess 210Pb are shown in grey. The 14C age determination from 88–89 cm is considered unreliable and is also shown in grey (see supplementary material). This figure was created using Microsoft Excel 2013 and Adobe Illustrator CS6. IRD abundance derived from sedimentological analysis (a) The weight of the 63 μm to 2 mm fraction as a percentage of the total sediment weight (excluding clasts >2 mm) (b) IRD flux derived from the 63 μm to 2 mm fraction (g yr−1) The black lines on both series show the 10-point running mean Dashed lines show the individual series means This figure was created using Microsoft Excel 2013 and Adobe Illustrator CS6 The results show a similar pattern of Cassidulina neoteretis and Cibicides lobatulus abundance through the sediment core. High abundances of both species in the early-Holocene suggest that Køge Bugt was characterised by warm, saline waters and high hydrodynamic energy levels at the seabed during this interval (Fig. 4) A marked reduction in the abundance of both species occurred at around 5000 years BP with low values through the remainder of the Holocene This indicates that the late-Holocene in Køge Bugt was characterised by low current strengths at the seabed and cold oceanographic conditions whilst we endeavour to uncover the most plausible scenarios the processes controlling ice-rafted debris sedimentation are complicated and our interpretations are tentative these results provide a baseline against which to assess the magnitude of glacier change in Køge Bugt If glaciers in Køge Bugt continue to retreat this will be unprecedented in at least the last 9100 years We analysed marine sediments to reconstruct the Holocene glacial and oceanographic history of Køge Bugt A Rumohr corer with 80 mm diameter liner was used to obtain the 176 cm sediment core A core catcher device was not used; this ensured that surface sediments were not disturbed during coring The core was split lengthways prior to analysis Half of the core was subjected to non-destructive analysis using X-ray imaging (Copenhagen X-ray imaging was used to examine sedimentary structures in ER1116 Individual high-resolution (0.09 mm px−1) X-ray images were obtained at ~20 cm intervals these were spliced into a single composite image using functions in Adobe Photoshop CS6 The grain size distribution of sediment in ER1116 was determined by wet-sieving and laser diffraction analysis Material was sampled from 10 cm3 of sediment Water content was determined prior to sieving by freeze-drying and weighing Sediment was wet-sieved through a stack of Retsche sieves (2 mm The >2 mm fraction was excluded from the percentage calculations to remove large anomalous peaks caused by the presence of large individual clasts Individual grid values were then summed to obtain an estimate of volume loss from the glaciological basin (km3) and multiplied by 0.9 to obtain an estimate of ice mass loss (Gt) This approach assumes that the surrounding outlet glaciers in Køge Bugt behaved synchronously It also relies on the assumption that glacier thinning between 2003 and 2012 had equilibrated to changes in margin position and that the relationship between calving front position and thinning has remained constant throughout the Holocene This method provides a first-order approximation of maximum ice loss from glaciers in Køge Bugt over the last 9100 years Report on Norwegian Fishery and Marine Investigations Sydøstgrønland Jan Mayen: Fiskerundersøkelser IceBridge Sander AIRGrav L4 Bathymetry (2014) The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea Dataset on Ocean Hydrography Late Cenozoic records of ice-rafting at ODP Sites 642 and characteristics of glacial/interglacial fluctuations (eds) Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis Contribution of Working Group I to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change NASA Landsat Program.

That sustained run of play paid off in the 33rd minute, when Faith George was able to position herself in front of goal and get on the other end of a cross to make it 1-0 Slammers Slammers were able to hold off any Michigan Hawks chances in the remainder of the half and took their 1-0 lead into the halftime break Slammers struck almost immediately to double their lead Slammers stole possession of the ball and created a two on one going the other way A great pass was sent across to Maribel Flores who put home the finish to double the Slammers lead including a potential chance from a late free kick and an opportunity that went off the post but the Slammers defense was suffocating throughout the game Controlling large portions of possession and being able to defend all of what the Hawks threw at them Slammers were able to hold their two goal advantage throughout the second half the Slammers bench stormed out onto the field to celebrate with their teammates as they stood alone as the 2023 U18/19 ECNL Girls National Champions After the game, Savannah King talked about how she knew the defense had a tough job in front of them against a tough Michigan Hawks attack “I knew I had a job coming into this so I just made sure I executed it and we got the win.” With Slammers on the field celebrating their championship George discussed how much the win meant to her and how she has been dreaming of this moment This is something I’ve wanted to do my entire life “We’re just a dynasty and we’re going to keep racking them up,” King said — Slammers Futbol Club (@slammersfc) June 30, 2023 Thursday’s action also included the finals of the North American Cup and Showcase Cup B at both the U16 and U17 age groups Below is a list of teams who lifted the trophies in each competition Fuller represents Carroll High School (TX) ECNL RL events wrapped up in five locations A look at some key matchups from San Diego North American Cup and Showcase Cup rundown This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page A second Toronto FC academy product is headed to HB Koge on loan TFC announced on Friday that midfielder Noble Okello has been loaned to the Danish second division side, joining center back Rocco Romeo Romeo has made three appearances for Koge so far this season "He's a player we feel like has a very bright future We need him to get some minutes," said Toronto head coach Greg Vanney during a Friday press conference "The club in Denmark was really interested in him in a way that he was going to go there and be a big player for them in terms of minutes But now he's got a chance to go get a good solid 12-plus games between now and the end of the year and then we can re-assess going into next year." Okello, 20, signed with the Reds as a Homegrown Player on January 22, 2019, becoming the 19th player in club history to sign for the first team from the Toronto FC academy. Okello has made one appearance and played 22 minutes this season. He is currently behind Michael Bradley and Liam Fraser on TFC's defensive midfield depth chart Okello spent three seasons with Toronto FC II and made 42 appearances While Switzerland complains about rising premiums and deficit-ridden hospitals Denmark has transformed its health care system The future of health care is a robot named Arthur The robot's touch feels like a gentle caress when it uses ultrasound to examine a patient's hands for joint inflammation Have a good day.» The patient had not spoken to a single person since arriving at the hospital where one can see the future of health care The atmosphere in the hospital in Køge is almost eerily calm New arrivals hold their personal health card up to an electronic reader A display board shows how long they are likely to wait and where they need to go Here things are a step ahead of other countries health expert and former FDP member of the Council of States Health economists and Swiss hospital managers who visit Denmark agree Swiss politicians and health insurance company managers get worked up every September after premiums increase complaining about unprofitable hospitals that can’t be closed just 21 are left – serving 6 million inhabitants there are still 101 acute care hospitals and more than 170 others Swiss health care costs per capita amount to 8049 Swiss francs compared with the equivalent of just 6280 in Denmark is the smallest of Denmark's five university hospitals It is located in the middle of a large construction site The new treatment wing is already in operation The upper floors house gleaming white patient rooms with a view of the sea all with the capacity to serve 200,000 patients a year Køge is a symbol of the major Danish reform that was initiated over 15 years ago and which executive medical officer for the Copenhagen region The core consists of 16 so-called super hospitals The gigantic construction program led to massive delays and cost overruns – partly due to the COVID-19 crisis but also because of the complexity of such projects And it's time to ask the question: What can one learn from the Danes Danish policymakers pushed through a rigorous program of supra-regional hospital planning something that in Switzerland is still being debated competencies were bundled and distributed among the 16 super hospitals This was triggered by high mortality rates for fatal diseases such as cancer the nearest hospital with an emergency room was on average 30 to 40 kilometers away there were initially fierce protests from the population says health economist Kjeld Möller Pedersen «they quickly died down when people realized that although they had to travel farther they received better treatment.» The authorities also determined which of the remaining hospitals was allowed to offer which services the expertise of the staff and the number of operations performed The advantage: the specialized hospitals had sufficient case numbers to improve the quality of treatment As a university hospital with a training obligation and responsibility for one of the five major regions with particular strengths such as colon cancer operations and rheumatology Highly specialized procedures such as transplants are in principle still performed by up to three hospitals while there are still around 10 for breast cancer operations «This specialization has greatly improved the quality of medicine,» Jylling says Almost everyone one asks in Denmark agrees from specialist doctors to nurses to hospital directors Even if some Swiss hospitals would never admit it the synergies are obvious: The more cases hospitals have in a particular specialty the better the doctors and nurses become at treating it the more experienced the handling of complications deputy director and project manager at the hospital in Køge has already reorganized several hospitals in Denmark and abroad But the former nurse with laugh lines around her eyes says this has been her most difficult project so far the hospitals were not only given the task of pooling their expertise but also a fixed budget for the entire region where the number of patients is growing due to an aging population the structural modernization is supposed to lead to a reduction in operating costs without the patients noticing any decrease in care everyone will have the right to a single room a large screen for X-ray images and Netflix series a private bathroom and a small couch where relatives can stay overnight Anyone who knows the Danes knows that they don't indulge in luxuries without a reason single rooms have multiple medical benefits: the risk of infection is reduced and doctors can prepare patients and their relatives more efficiently for the time after release from the hospital who is standing in the basement of the hospital and showing off what he calls the facility’s «heart» – others would probably call it a machine room The logistics expert explains the hospital’s new system with a nerd’s attention to detail: surgical instruments bed linen and medicines are delivered in standardized steel containers or mesh trolleys The supplies are loaded onto computer-controlled conveyor belts that bring the containers to a distribution spot where small robot trolleys take them and drive them through endless corridors in the basement to the department that needs them Hansen is responsible for the underground automation which can be seen everywhere in Danish hospitals driven by the country’s affinity for digital innovation The robot Arthur is just one of the more spectacular achievements where the largest new hospital is being built the next step will be to use robots that can take blood from patients – and hit the vein in the arm much better than any human The Danish health care system made a decisive leap forward years ago when the national health card was introduced – a kind of electronic patient file that doctors radiologists and patients themselves can use to access their medical information This avoids the multiple examinations and time-consuming referral reports that are so common in Switzerland «Not an issue,» says health official Jylling The next step is to fully integrate the general practitioners’ data – that's still missing.» Although everyone is entitled to free health care financed by taxes the incentives are set in such a way that doctors and hospitals earn nothing if they expand their services they have an interest in offering their services as cost-effectively as possible The contrast between Køge University Hospital and Zurich University Hospital is impressive even if the latter certainly has more complex cases and more research: The Danes have just two-thirds of the full-time positions of the Zurich hospital but deal with twice as many inpatient admissions and at least as many outpatient visits all new buildings have a modular structure and the standardized rooms and operating theaters can be quickly converted at any time patients are operated on as outpatients; those admitted to hospital do not stay for more than two days on average «This also benefits the patients,» says Gaub This is because the longer someone spends in hospital The pandemic taught doctors an important lesson: They may be experts at operating but they are not experts at knowing which treatments are actually good for patients tells how he and his colleagues canceled many non-urgent operations during the pandemic – including hernias of which inguinal hernias are the most common But when they called the same patients again months later to reschedule the operation the procedure was no longer necessary because the patients had come to terms with their condition.» «Choosing wisely» is therefore one of the guidelines that the hospital in Køge follows today to determine what is done – and what is no longer done a six-month wait is now required before deciding whether it should be removed Doctors have also realized that it can make more sense to apply a cast to broken wrists in elderly people instead of operating on them «It may not look quite as pretty afterward but without surgery the hands are immobilized for less time so they sometimes recover better,» says Gaub That sounds a bit like people from Køge to Copenhagen are trying to gloss over the downside of tough budget targets Isn't this saving money at the expense of quality We ask someone who should know – and who can make a direct comparison with Switzerland Christoph Tschuor from Graubünden is a surgeon at Rigshospital in Copenhagen Tschuor specializes in operations on the liver and pancreas as well as liver transplants If it is scheduled to arrive in the next few hours «My experience of the cost-conscious approach here is completely different the quality has increased due to the concentration and specialization in Denmark.» his department at Rigshospital performs up to 80 operations per year for surgeries such as liver transplantation Only three clinics are approved for these procedures So Tschuor gets to operate more than enough to keep improving his skills and routine where well over a dozen hospitals are allowed to perform such highly specialized procedures hospitals sometimes fight for operations in order to achieve sufficient case numbers is noticeable in everything that is not medically necessary food served at a buffet instead of in the room and above all the waiting times ahead of non-urgent operations «If you tell a patient in Switzerland that they have to wait 10 days for a tumor operation they may go to the next hospital,» says Tschuor has no free choice when it comes to basic care; even in an emergency you can only turn up unannounced if you call an ambulance hospitals are required to provide a diagnosis within two weeks and are allowed a further two weeks for surgery or the start of treatment This usually works for operations that are urgent which has still not been completely cleared –particularly for non-urgent interventions waiting times for hip or knee operations are around 60 days the hospital in Aarhus made national headlines because it had glossed over long waiting times it is obliged to ensure that the patient is treated elsewhere they might even have to cover the costs of therapy abroad «I rarely see anyone take advantage of this It doesn't fit with the egalitarian Danish mentality,» says Tschuor Although more than half of Danes have private supplementary insurance this only covers costs for diagnoses or minor operations not for highly specialized surgery such as the liver and pancreas operations performed by Tschuor which only the large public hospitals are allowed to offer and there is no expectation that the surgeon will visit you before and after the operation who is used to doing things differently and continues to do so even after more than two years in Copenhagen Health care staff and patients are on a first-name basis and the 37-hour workweek is taken seriously The Swiss surgeon sometimes still can't believe it when a patient tells him: «Go home But the relaxed tone in the hospital halls is deceptive Danish hospitals are rigorous when it comes to measuring their performance but also in terms of quality – as rigorous as some health care experts like Gutzwiller would like Swiss hospitals to be «In addition to focusing and better coordination there is much more talk about the quality of treatment in Denmark,» he says average length of stay: the figures are regularly recorded and monitored «If a department deviates too much from the benchmarks the health authorities are quickly on the scene and a program is under review,» says Tschuor The big advantage is that decisions are made more objectively and there are nationally applied guidelines for every therapy and every intervention The disadvantage is that the limits are pushed less than in Switzerland: «People think outside the box less often There are not enough resources for that,» Tschuor says He also says that the more generous funding in Switzerland has a positive effect on quality «But it's also a question of what you want to afford,» he says In the statistics on deaths from treatable diseases Switzerland not only performs better than Denmark Gaub is thoughtful when asked over mineral water and a salmon sandwich what Denmark should have done differently While she is completing the super hospital in Køge Danish politicians are already working on the next reform «A highly specialized infrastructure has been built with the super hospitals but it is not suitable for solving today's biggest challenge: the aging of a society in which people are increasingly chronically or mentally ill and would be better cared for at home,» critics such as former hospital manager Henrik Schödts say such as health economist Kjeld Möller Pedersen saying that one does not preclude the other they also admit that it would have been better to solve the problem of low-threshold local health care provision along with the original reform «Now you just have to figure out how to fix it.» an expert commission has made recommendations on this It wants to expand the number of family doctors and strengthen local health care networks with general practitioners nurses and certain specialists such as eye doctors They should be able to take better care of all the patients who are not simply cured after an operation in a hospital The smiling pragmatist Gaub also sees an opportunity here for her growing hospital «We have to bring our expertise to where the patients are,» she says the hospital has been experimenting with digital care formats which it calls its «e-hospital.» They enable hospital doctors to care for patients at home Someone with diabetes can measure her blood sugar levels herself transmit them electronically and arrange a Zoom appointment if necessary Parents can take their prematurely born baby home if they transmit its vital signs to the neonatology department every day via an app «chemo to go» is even on offer: cancer patients are administered chemotherapy via a pocket-sized mobile device that they can take with them while their blood values are monitored via smartphone Arthur the robot has transmitted the patient's data to his boss Ada Colic The ultrasound image shows lots of red and blue dots but everything is fine: «No arthritis,» says the head of rheumatology Arthur has just saved him a lot of time and potential mistakes «He is more precise than any doctor and conveys an efficient calm BUCYRUS – Local residents saw a familiar face next to Steve Harvey on Sunday evening’s edition of NBC’s “Little Big Shots.” 3-year-old Kelson Masayoshi Koge made an appearance on the television show hosted by Harvey and produced by Ellen DeGeneres His claim to fame was a viral video showing him running a backyard obstacle course acting as a contestant on his favorite show With the original video receiving more than 200 million views "Little Big Shots" reached out to Yoshi and wanted him to be a part of the inaugural season of the show “The more we watched the show 'American Ninja Warrior,' the more he would want to do it,” Ken Koge “So we would put something down and he would jump over it or climb up the couch I was cleaning the garage one day before dinner and he was out there with me and asked me if we could make a course So we just put out a few pieces of wood here and there and just made something of a makeshift course and he was all excited.” Yoshi then ran the course while his father filmed “We literally video everything with four kids and share it on Facebook and it just went viral,” Yoshi’s mother Kim Koge said “We actually put it on Facebook because we wanted to share it with some family just so they could see the video,” Ken said Yoshi’s love for "American Ninja Warrior" started at his grandparent’s house when he would watch the show Then he would watch the show at home with his family and became glued to the TV “I like the obstacle courses,” Yoshi said of his favorite show Kim Koge’s email was blowing up with people reaching out wanting to meet Yoshi I don’t know what to do.' So we were writing down names and trying to contact people and finally the 'Little Big Shots' was the one that stood out the most.” Yoshi was seen putting his skills to the test on “Little Big Shots” to the tune of an “American Ninja Warrior”-style course built especially for him It was harder than my dad’s,” Yoshi said of the “Little Big Shots” obstacle course warped wall and the basement crawl plank,” were all tougher than his homemade course the Koge clan went out to Los Angeles for the taping of the show It wasn’t just Bucyrus that saw Yoshi on stage weaving and jumping through the obstacle course designed by the "Little Big Shots" crew; 13.2 million viewers tuned in and saw the future "American Ninja Warrior" in action “She has never been out of Kentucky or Ohio and naturally he hasn’t so it was their first time on an airplane,” Ken said “We were there for a week and in the studio for four days We had a couple of days where we could go out and explore They took us into the studio and gave us the VIP treatment.” “It was pretty amazing and it was our first time seeing an ocean,” Kim Koge said “Keeping him cooped up in a hotel room was a little iffy for a little bit It was a lot of fun with the sight-seeing and going places “American Ninja Warrior” host Akbar Gbaja Biamila was brought onto the set to call a play-by-play of Yoshi’s effort though the course Akbar said he was impressed with Yoshi and knew he was 2-foot-10 and 26 pounds But the course was the easy part of Yoshi’s day Yoshi came out waving and met Harvey for the first time “One of his big things was he wanted to meet the kids for the first time when they actually recorded so there wasn’t any backstage activity,” Ken said Harvey asked Yoshi to hop up on the couch for the interview Yoshi got a little boost from Harvey and found his seat The two then watched Yoshi’s application video where he showed off his strength with some push-ups and jumping jacks “Yeah.” Then Harvey asked him if he knew why he was famous They then revealed the “Little Big Shots” course and brought out Akbar They kept that a surprise from all of us,” Kim said “But they brought us backstage so we all got to meet him and take pictures and talk to him for a little bit.” “Yoshi” and some last-minute encouraging words from Harvey Yoshi waited for the countdown and began his "American Ninja Warrior" course He zoomed through the quintuple steps and over the rolling log He showed his core strength by working his way through the basement crawl plank and upper body strength through the double helix he maneuvered his way up the warped wall with ease and When asked if he watched his performance on TV on Sunday night As Yoshi was being carried off of the stage by Akbar the host could be overheard saying he would like to get Yoshi out to a real "American Ninja Warrior" set “He reached out on Monday morning and was wondering if we would be interested in meeting up out in Indianapolis next month so we are just waiting on some details,” Kim said Yoshi will get the opportunity to meet his "American Ninja Warrior" idols Kacy Catanzaro With his incredible journey of being on TV and visiting Hollywood surely Yoshi had to have a favorite part of his experience But none of those stuck with the youngster “Doing the 'American Ninja Warrior' course,” Yoshi said about his favorite part of Hollywood The Bucyrus native may have more journeys in his lifetime But his trip to California and his appearance on “Little Big Shots” was jfurr@gannett.com HB Køge are champions of Denmark after defeating their direct rivals Fortuna Hjørring in a 1-0 win for Køge This means that they have been crowned champions of the Elitedivisionen in Denmark It has been a truly great season for the champions and it looks they will continue to grow The season is divided into two parts: the regular league and the playoffs There are eight teams and after the regular season the top six teams compete in a championship playoff The seventh-placed team will play a relegation play-off while the eight-placed team is automatically relegated During these HB Køge was excellent and they went into the playoffs as clear favorites They had won 12 games and 2 games were a draw Their direct rivals were Fortuna Hjørring and on the last day of the playoff round they met A 52nd-minute goal from Cecilie Fløe sealed the deal for the home side and they were champions of Denmark once more It has been a fantastic season for HB Køge Not only did they defend their title successfully but they also played in the UWCL this season HB Køge managed to keep Fortuna Hjørring in second while also setting a record audience in their stadium of 2,016 people HB Køge were very dominant this season domestically as they haven’t lost a single game in both the regular season and in the championship group of the playoffs It will be interesting to see how they will do in the next season Analysis: Rachel Daly’s start to the NWSL 2022 season Euro 2022: Karen Bardsley praises “world class” England players Get our award-winning print editions of The Daily Pennsylvanian delivered to your doorstep every week The Daily Pennsylvanian is a student-run nonprofit Please support us by disabling your ad blocker on our site Penn men's soccer addresses social justice with diversity and inclusion committee 15 questions with...

Barça have completed a perfect Champions League group stage by winning every game, completing the set on Wednesday with a 5-0 win over Køge of Denmark in a game preceded by Lieke Martens parading her Golden Woman Player to fans in the Estadi Johan Cruyff. Leila Ouahabi opened the scoring after just ten minutes and Claudia Pina also found the net but her effort was cancelled out for offside. But Barça were totally in command, and there was an air of inevitability when Rolfo made it 2-0 and Alexia added a third just before the break. Further goals seemed on the cards but it was not until the 66th minute that we had one when Engen met a corner. Køge had had plenty of chances of their own, and the closest of those efforts hit the crossbar but they were not getting anything out of this game. The highlight was, without a shadow of a doubt, a fabulous lobbed goal from Martens to make it five and confirm the Catalans’ superiority in their Champions League group. Barça: Cata, Paredes, Jana, Melanie, Pina, Graham (Ona, min 69), Mariona (Rolfo, min 23), Leila, Alexia (Martens, min 69), Crnogorcevic (Ornella, min 69) & Engen (María Pérez, min 79). Køge: Marckese, Svendsen, Fitzgerald, Carusa, Guldbjerg, Pokorny (Nowak, min 87), Jankovska (Nielsen, min 46), Nielsen (Kramer, min 56), Markvard, Obaze & Faerge. Goals: 1-0, Leila (min 10); 2-0, Rolfo (min 30); 3-0, Alexia (min 44); 4-0, Engen (min 66); 5-0, Martens (min 74). Concacaf silver medal winner Emma Regan has signed her first professional contract with HB Køge in Denmark. The fullback from Burnaby, British Columbia joined the league-leading side just three days after her 23rd birthday on a two-year contract just before the transfer window closed for January. Regan won a Concacaf silver medal as a teenager with Canada at the 2018 Concacaf Women’s Championship, helping Canada qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019. She has represented Canada at two FIFA youth tournaments and won two Concacaf youth medals. A graduate of Canada Soccer’s Super REX British Columbia / Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite program, she won a 2022 League1 BC title with Varsity FC this past summer. Before signing her first pro contract, she played her college football at the University of Texas at Austin.

their hosts of the hook time and time again but are heading back from Denmark with three more points in the bag and potentially dangerous on the counter attack but it was always Jonatan Giráldez’s side that looked most in control But the goal just wouldn’t come and although Jennifer Hermoso Fridolina Rolfö and Marta Torrejón all had fine chances Aitana and Patri Guijarro entered the fray and Barça had the home side pegged right back in their own half Surely it was just a matter of time before they finally found the net When the goal finally came it was Aitana who started the move with a pinpoint assist from Martens picking out Rolfö to convert a goals that did perfect justice to the way the game had gone Koge still couldn’t get out of their own half as Barça pushed hard for the

Copenhagen-based ADEPT is behind the building that is designed for disassembly to meet a potential temporary lease of land. For the next decade, the recently completed Taphouse by ADEPT will act as the visitors center for the Braunstein brewery and at the same time establish a natural local meeting place supporting community initiatives and activities. © Rasmus Hjortshøj - COASTThe historic buildings and the raw industrial atmosphere at the harbour inspired the architecture and the urban spaces around it The result is a clean-cut architecture that underlines the identity of the harbour in a locally anchored project - both belonging and completely its own
