9 Leif Panduro Leif Thormod Panduro blev født den 18. april 1923 på Frederiksberg i København. Han var uddannet tandlæge, men kunne ikke finde ud af økonomien og gik konkurs. Fra 1962 kunne han dog leve af sit forfatterskab. Leif Panduro modtog Kritikerprisen i 1963, De gyldne laurbær i 1970 og Det danske Akademis litteraturpris i Han døde den 16. januar Bøger af Leif Panduro Av min guldtand (roman) Rend mig i traditionerne (roman) De uanstændige (roman) Øgledage (roman) Fern fra Danmark (roman) Fejltagelser (roman) Den gale mand (roman) Vejen til Jylland (roman) Hård barndom Leif Panduro voksede op hos slægtninge og på børnehjem. Hans far blev skudt af modstandsbevægelsen under krigen, fordi han var nazisympatisør. Hans mor blev sindssyg. Denne opvækst var medvirkende til, at Panduro led af angstanfald, og at han i en periode gik i psykoanalyse. Bøger som terapi Hans bøger blev en måde for ham at bearbejde sine problemer på. Gennem de psykiske problemer han selv havde, udviklede han en helt særlig evne til at forstå andre mennesker. Han udtalte fx, at han følte stor medlidenhed med mennesker, der løj. De gjorde det nemlig, fordi de havde et problem, der gjorde, at de blev nødt til at lyve Farvel Thomas (tv-spil) Daniels anden verden (roman) Bella og Et godt liv (tv-spil) Vinduerne (roman) Amatørerne (roman) Selma, William og Benny (tre tv-spil) Den ubetænksomme elsker (roman) Den bedste af alle verdener (noveller) Høfeber (roman) Bertram og Lisa og Anne og Paul (to tv-spil) Louises hus (tv-spil) Hvilken virkelighed (artikler) Kendt og elsket Panduro skrev både romaner og tv-spil. Begge genrer gjorde ham meget kendt og elsket som forfatter. (kilde:

10 Historien om Tom s Skildpadde Rygtet siger, at den oprindelige Skildpadde er baseret på en tegning af Vilhelm Hansen, der også er far til den berømte tegneseriefigur Rasmus Klump. Tegningen af Skildpadden var Vilhelms første udkast til netop tegneserien Rasmus Klump. Forlaget kunne i første omgang ikke bruge forslaget og forkastede idéen. Vilhelm var dog selv godt tilfreds med tegningen, og Toms fik fingrene i den og den første chokoladeskildpadde blev udviklet. Senere kom Skildpadden alligevel med i Rasmus Klump-serien i en birolle som Pilskadde. Mangel på råvarer i efterkrigsårene Efter 2. verdenskrig begyndte der at komme flere kakaobønner til Danmark, så chokoladefabrikkerne kunne begynde at se på en fornyelse af deres sortiment. Toms gik efter produkter, der lagde mindst muligt beslag på de dyrebare kakaobønner. Samtidig ville man udvikle produkter, der kunne tage markedsandele fra konkurrenterne. Det gjaldt nemlig om at få så mange rationeringsmærker som muligt, for de dannede grundlag for bevillingen af råvarer. Frøen som inspiration Galle & Jessen havde stor succes med deres chokolade Frø. Toms lod sig inspirere af denne succes og besluttede at fremstille en Skildpadde med romcreme, da chokolade med en anelse spiritus var populært. Skildpadde på 16 g I oktober 1948 kunne sælgerne fra Toms præsentere en vaskeægte nyhed en 16 g skildpadde, som kunne sælges for 20 øre. Den fandt hurtigt sin plads i forretningernes sortiment. Det var nu ikke nogen kunst, enhver nyhed blev modtaget med kyshånd! Drømmen om at stjæle markedsandele fra Galle & Jessen blev ikke rigtig til noget, for det viste sig hurtigt, at de to produkter kunne sælges side om side. Dog hoppede frøen lystigt af sted ud af forretningerne i samme omfang som tidligere, mens skildpadden kravlede sindigt bagefter med en fornuftig omsætning. Chokoladerationering slut I 1950 stoppede chokoladerationeringen og chokoladefabrikkerne kunne indlede en decideret

11 konkurrence. Toms havde blandt andet fokus på de markedsandele, der kunne flyttes fra frø til Skildpadde. Som tiden gik, forblev mønsteret det samme, Toms havde et acceptabelt salg af Skildpadder; men Galle & Jessen bevarede deres altdominerende rolle med deres frø. Andre firmaer drømte om at støde frøen væk fra tronen. Anthon Berg barslede med en mariehøne, Cloetta med en hare. Toms prøvede endnu en gang midt i 50 erne ved at relancere Skildpadderne i en flot disk-venlig salgskarton samtidig med, at der blev produceret en ny gaveæske i et moderne design. Lige meget hjalp det, Galle & Jessen forblev kongen af det lille dyr med creme i maven. Alle udmeldte deres smådyr undtagen Toms, som trods alt havde et produkt, der udgjorde så mange tons, at Skildpadden fik lov at blive. Toms flytter til Ballerup I 1960 og årene derefter fik Toms på grund af fabrikkens udflytning til Ballerup meget andet at tænke på. I 1965 kom skildpadden tilbage i søgelyset, da dens salgstal begyndte at dale. Problemstillingen var nu en helt anden. Man skulle ikke bekrige frøen, men finde en løsning for at bevare egen markedsandel. Konklusionen blev, at folk havde fået lidt flere penge mellem hænderne, så der var basis for at fremstille flere 50 øres produkter. Kæmpe Skildpadden blev udviklet Toms besluttede, at en Skildpadde i dobbelt størrelse måtte være sagen. Dog mente man, at en stor Skildpadde med romcreme ikke var børnevenlig. Derimod havde man succes med en karamelfyldning, og i 1967 kunne Toms præsentere Kæmpe Skildpadden på 28 g med både karamel- og romcreme. Den nye Skildpadde solgte ikke så godt i starten, men efter at man pakkede den i den velkendte stanniol indpakning blev den hurtigt populær, og lige så hurtigt fik den sit øgenavn den gravide Skildpadde. De to Skildpadder solgtes nu side om side, men mens Kæmpe Skildpaddens popularitet voksede støt, sygnede Skildpadden på 16 g hen og blev taget ud af sortimentet i Den klassiske Galle & Jessen Frø nåede at blive 100 år i 2002, hvorefter den blev afløst af en Toms Frø i større udgave, men en anden fyldning, som levede frem til I 2004 udviklede Toms en Mini Skildpadde på 10gr. Fyldet er det samme som i Kæmpe Skildpadden.

13 Fiercely feminine and deeply powerful Agnes Obel Marking the first time the talented songstress will tour Australia, Danish singer/songwriter Agnes Obel brings her masterful skills behind the piano and in front of the mic to audiences at the Old Museum. With her mother a brilliant musician and her father a collector of instruments, it s only natural that Agnes mastered the piano from a very young age. By the release of debut album Philharmonics in 2010 Agnes was announced as a force to be reckoned with. Drawing comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Carole King and admitted influence French composer Erik Satie, Philharmonics sold over 450,000 copies across Europe. It achieved Platinum status in France and Belgium, Gold in Holland and five times platinum in her native Denmark, where it spent seven consecutive weeks at #1. Her second album Aventine cemented Agnes place as a masterful composer, perfectly framing her piano and vocals with cello for a deeper, richer sound that never compromised the delicate intimacy that had made her debut so unique. Aventine once again scored Agnes a #1 in her homeland and reached top ten albums charts all through Europe, also soaring to #28 on the US Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. If critics weren t already paying attention to Agnes, they were now, as Aventine collected near universal acclaim. Agnes is as adept a performer as she is a composer and once on-stage can translate the intimacy and tension of her harmonies into a spellbinding display of raw talent and a master class of live performance. Having mesmerised audiences throughout Europe, Agnes Obel s Australian performances are a rare opportunity to see a remarkable talent in an exceptional venue. Presented by Frontier Touring Agnes Obel will be performing at the Old Museum in Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill, on Tuesday 25 November 2014

20 Dansk for Børn Danish for Kids Lessons for kids aged 4 6 start on Saturday mornings 9am till 10 am on 11 th October at Camira. These structured lessons are a fun way for young children to learn Danish through songs, games, books, flashcards and activities. It is a language program pedagogically designed for small children. The children have so much fun that they don t even know that they are learning. For more information contact Pia (Danish teacher for 15 years) on or myozdanish@gmail.com How you can help your child learn Danish: If your child knows some Danish, read Danish story books to them. If he/she doesn't know how to speak Danish, you can read fairy tales by replacing some words with Danish words. Music is universal. Play Danish CDs in the car or at home as background music. Studies have shown that even background music can increase children's vocabulary. Playing games like hide and seek by counting in Danish. Children love watching cartoons. You can find tons of Danish cartoons available online. One of the best ways of practising Danish is giving your child opportunities to interact with other kids who can speak Danish. Join the Danish Playgroup who meet at the Danish Club every Friday, attend Sunday School at the Danish Church at Mt Gravatt or join the kids Danish classes.
