My Personal Experiences with the Great Sport TRIATHLON My personal experiences with the great sport TRIATHLON The triathlon sport startet in the US in the seventies and came to Denmark in the eighties. My first competition was in Køge in 1985. I did well and it was a succes from the start. My background as a runner was really helping me, and I did a fast running time. My bike and swim were on a much lower level at that time. In 1986 I did 5 triathlons events in Denmark and was in top 10 in all of them. Ofcourse I enjoyed it. I was a young guy trying to make the most of it, and was really focused on the competitive side of it. The swim training were often in Østersøen, because at that time I lived on the Island Bornholm. The first triathlon event on Bornholm was in 1986, and guess who was number one ? You may say I was the triathlon star on Bornholm for some years - on this beautiful Island, and I was really enjoying the training too. The Island has good possibillities for swimmning in the Østersøen, and the roads are fine for cycling too. My running was often in the forrest and it was like a farytale for me in a way. The black and white picture is from 1987 – my second win on Bornholm. The other is from 2015 in Copenhagen at Amager beach. In 1987 I did 11 triathlon events and the highligts were at the Nordic Championsship ( half IM distance ) and the Danish Triathlon Cup on the 1/10 IM distance ( was number 9 and remember water temperature was 13 degrees – very special). Both events were in Sønder- Jylland. That was the start of my triathlon eventure part 1, and it went on a couple of years further. Did not make the national team – but it was a very extra ordinary period of time in my life, and I will always remember it. The national cup in 1987 – price ceremoni. At that time one of my sponsors was New Balance. Number 8 is Mogens Strange ( beside me ) – he was on the national team that year. My ” part 1 triathlon eventure ” stops in 1990 – I think my last competition was on Bornholm. I went on as a racing cyclist for some years before retirering from elite sports as an atlet in year 2000. But the interrest for sports and especially triathlon went on, and in 2010 I tried the first Copenhagen 4-18-4 at Amager Strandpark, and then I was ” hooked ” again. I have now taken all 7 of them, and it really is a fantastic event in all means. The picture is from KMD 4-18-4 Cpoenhagen 2015 – it is me in the ” speedos ”. I really like the combination of swimming, cyling and running – you might say it is a complete form of psycical training – that's why I still doing it. Now I call it ” Part 2 ” of my triathlon eventure, and my coal for 2016 is IM 70.3 Kronborg and in 2017 the ultimate goal : IM 140.6 Copenhagen. I have done several so called half IM – but never the full IM. So I am still motivated and very fokused on the future. I am sure the 2017 IM Copenhagen will be one of my biggest adventures ever, and I am really looking forward to DO IT ! The picture is right after completing the swim course ( 3800 m ) at Amager Stranpark in 2012 ( relay ) – looking forward to do that again in 2017. Best wishes to all of you who is going to particitpate in triathlon events in the future. See you out there ! Regards Tino Brahmer Svendsen Age : 49 Country : Denmark.

The offshore turbines are connected by cable to the transformer at the Amager power plant 3.5 km away. Kongedybet Hollænderdybet Middelgrunden Saltholm Flak 2 From Idea to Reality The idea of the Middelgrunden wind project was born in a group of visionary people in Copenhagen already in 1993. However it took seven years and a lot of work before the first cooperatively owned offshore wind farm became a reality. Today the 40 MW wind farm with twenty modern 2 MW wind turbines developed by the Middelgrunden Wind Turbine Cooperative and Copenhagen Energy Wind is producing electricity for more than 40,000 households in Copenhagen. In 1996 the local association Copenhagen Environment and Energy Office took the initiative of forming a working group for placing turbines on the Middelgrunden shoal and a proposal with 27 turbines was presented to the public. At that time the Danish Energy Authority had mapped the Middelgrunden shoal as a potential site for wind development, but it was not given high priority by the civil servants and the power utility.

KØBENHAVNS BEFÆSTNING Fortiden er tæt på VELKOMMEN TIL BEFÆSTNINGEN Velkommen til Befæstningen Københavns Befæstning ligger som en beskyttende ring om København. Nu vågner befæstningsringen til live som en sammen- hængende oplevelse, der bringer kultur- og naturoplevelser sammen i historiske rammer. Fæstningsværket er blandt de bedst bevarede forsvarsanlæg i Europa. Det består af en lang række forter og forsvarsstillinger, et oversvømmelsesanlæg og den godt 14 km lange Vestvold. Hovedparten af Befæstningen blev opført mellem 1885 og 1894, som reaktion på Danmarks sviende nederlag til tyskerne i 1864. Under 1. Ver- denskrig var forsvarsværket bemandet med næsten 50.000 soldater, men da krigen var slut, havde den teknologiske udvikling overhalet de mange forter og batterier, hvorfor hele Befæstningen blev nedlagt som beskyttelse af København. Fra overlevelse til oplevelse Nu genopstår Københavns Befæstning som en sammenhængende helhed, der for ener et stykke danmarkshistorie med enestående kultur- og naturoplevelser. Bygningsværker og naturarealer er blevet revitaliseret, så du kan gå på opdagelse på en lang række forter og anlæg i hele befæstningsringen. Du kan fx besøge op- levelsescentrene på søfortet Trekroner, i Ejbybunkeren og på Garderhøjfortet, prøve dine færdigheder på cykelbanerne i Rødovre, Brøndby, Hvidovre og Husum, tage på picnic i Oversvømmelsen eller spille mobilspil på Vestvolden i Hvidovre.

    Sedimentary history of the island Læsø, Denmark JENS MORTEN HANSEN Hansen, J. M.: Sedimentary history of the island Læsø, Denmark. Bull. geol. Soc. Denmark, vol. 26, pp. DGF 217-236. Copenhagen, December 2nd 1977. Coastal sections on the island Lzesø in the northern Kattegat, Denmark, expose many well-preserved sedimentary structures. These structures have been studied in order to gain information about the postglacial sedimentary history of the island. Furthermore, numerous beach ridges make it possible to reconstruct the size and shape of the island at all stages of its development. During early postglacial transgressions and alternating regressions the island was represented by a shoal. During the transgres­ sions the shoal was inhabited by the heart urchin Echinocardium cordatum, whereas it was inhabited by the lugworm Arenicola marina during regressions. Heart urchin-burrowed layers are found in three horizons with lugworm-burrowed beds below and above the upper heart urchin-burrowed horizon. The burrows of the two animals are found in different sedimentary facies, thus also suggesting different hydrographic conditions by means of physical sedimentary structures. In places the lugworm-burrowed horizons are characterized by irregular erosion surfaces. Similar structures are found today at the pseudo-tidal flats south of Læsø, where they are formed by partial erosion of algal mats. The alternation of different sedimentary structures including trace fossils and irregular erosion surfaces is thus believed to reflect postglacial transgressions and regressions. Jens Morten Hansen, Henningsens Allé 2, DK-2900 Hellerup, Denmark. August 10th, 1977. The island Læsø in the northern Kattegat, Den­ dence from beach ridges and other sedimentary mark, was built up mainly during postglacial structures provides a detailed history of the transgressions and regressions.

  • The Royal Library of Denmark Annual Report 1996
    The Royal Library of Denmark Annual Report 1996 The Royal Library has been and will in the coming years still be in a state of constant change and development. This is reflected in the annual report. As change and development is at the hart of the activities of the library these years the summary is not so much about the usual routine management but about the exeptional activities leading towards a new, modern and efficient library. Routine management does take place, we are open to the public in spite of all the activities caused by renovations, the building of new main stacks and the new building at the Harbourfront. Building Planning Office Physical changes in the form of reshuffles and moves marked 1996 to an even greater extent than 1995. A total of 188 members of staff who worked in the Hansen building, the extension from the 1960s facing the harbour, were rehoused, some on Amager, some in the huts in Chr. Brygge 12, some in the old part of the library. While the personnel have been under a lot of pressure from the construction work, with preparations, moves and reshuffling in both 1994 and 1995, the public did not really notice the inconvenience until July 1996, when service was curtailed with the closure of Slotsholmen and with the introduction of Monday closing and other changed routines. The library is in a serious dilemma; on the one hand, preparations for the new extended facilities have to be made, on the other hand, the public have to be served here and now.

  • A Harbour of OPPORTUNITIES
    1 A HARBOUR OF OPPORTUNITIES Visions for more activity within the Harbour of Copenhagen 2 FOREWORD – A HARBOUR OF OPPORTUNITY A GReat POtentiaL With this Vision, the City of Copenhagen wishes to spotlight the enormous pervading potential in the recreational development of the Harbour of Copen- hagen. Many new developments have taken place in the harbour in recent years, and lots of new projects are currently in progress. Even so, there is still plenty of room for many more new ideas and recreational activities. The intent of the Vision is to • inspire more activities within the harbour area • increase Copenhageners’ quality of life and health • create a stimulating abundance of cultural and recreational activities • heighten Copenhageners’ awareness of the Harbour of Copenhagen • make the city more attractive to future residents • bring together the harbour’s stakeholders to focus on jointly developing the harbour. The Harbour should be • a harbour of possibilities • a harbour for people • a harbour for everyone Thanks to the Interreg IVC-program AQUA ADD for financing of translation from Danish to English and the print of the english version. 3 COntent PURPOSE 4 AREA 5 VISION: — AN ACTIVE AND ATTRACTIVE HarBOUR 7 OWNERSHIP WITHIN THE HARBOUR AREA 8 HARBOUR USERS 10 SELECTED THEMES 13 1 — MORE ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE HarBOUR 14 2 — BETTER ACCESS TO AND FROM THE WATER 15 3 — MORE PUBLIC spaces 16 4 — BETTER ROUTES AND CONNECTIONS 17 5 — A CLEAN, INVITING HarBOUR 18 6 — A HarBOUR WITH A HEALTHY NATURAL ENVIRONMENT 19 7 — EVENTS AND TEMPORARY PROJECTS 20 8 — VARIATION AND ROOM FOR EVERYONE 21 RECOMMENDATIONS 22 PROCESS AND SCHEDULE 23 THE HARBOUR'S HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT 24 PROJECTS SITED AT THE HARBOUR 26 4 PURPOse The purpose of this Vision is to establish the framework In recent years, many of the large manufacturing industries and desire for more liveliness and activity in the Harbour of have left the harbour.
