Danish Researchers: There's a Better Way to Line Up Than 'First Come, First Served'
George Mikes, a Hungarian-born British author, once wrote “an Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” Whether it’s at the bank or the grocery store, waiting in line is a staple of British life. What, then, would Brits make of Danish researchers who suggest the age-old discipline of “first come, first served” is a waste of time?

past
This is a new edit of a photo I took at a photo tour with about 50 other photographers in Viborg, Denmark, in May 2008. At the time I only processed the jpgs, but fortunately I also kept the raw files, so this is based on the raw file. The kind of lightbulbs in the lamp are no longer used, so in more than one sense the photo is from the past :-)

Tournament
It is not so easy to capture a guy on a horse chopping away at random objects when he actually hits the object. It is a one off chance - he is not going to repeat his act, just because you didn't capture the moment. This time I was lucky to get it almost right, but I would have liked a slightly different angle with more space underneath the sword and less stuff in the background. In any case I'm quite happy with the result :-)

The answer is that the Danes get a lot of things right, and in so doing refute just about everything U.S. conservatives say about economics. And we can also learn a lot from the things Denmark has gotten wrong.

Danish city makes pork mandatory but allows other food
A Danish city has ordered pork to be mandatory on municipal menus, including for schools and daycare centers, with politicians insisting the move is necessary for preserving the country's food traditions and is not an attack on Muslims. Frank Noergaard, a member of the council in Randers that narrowly approved the decision earlier this week, says it was made to ensure that pork remains "a central part of Denmark's food culture."
