Corruption. It should no longer come as any surprise that Norwegian state-owned companies engage in corruption.

We again proved this on Tuesday 25. February, when it became known that Økokrim has prosecuted the Kongsberg Group for corruption in connection with deliveries of equipment to Romania throughout the period 1999-2008. The value of the total agreements with Romania is close to 1,5 billion. This happened on the same day that the weapons report was processed at the Storting.

Ukraine. It has been a disappointing week of escalating violence in Ukraine.

The environmental movement has during the past week rallied that Statoil does not electrify the Johan Sverdrup field. But a researcher at the School of Fisheries believes the "climate friends" are engaged in a near-sighted debate.

The scandal. Admittedly, we here at the leadership position in this newspaper have long warned of "the blue danger". We have been skeptical of the effect of how the individualist rhetoric in the political language in the long run will also apply itself in practical action. And how, in the long run, opponents of the conflict should be gagged and shut down.

It was not the weekend glory that made Nelson Rolihlala Mandela (1918-2013) great, but his humanity. It is quickly done to forget all of Mandela's weaknesses.

Everyone wants the "teacher" now. The "teachers" must be on course. Learn more. Teach. Save youth from math refusal. But it is naïve to think that skippers can lift a heavy cultural trend.

It is wonderful to be Norwegian in Denmark. It's far worse to be SF's there.
