Norwegians are a great lens to teach us about some healthy longevity practices. The Norwegian diet is a significant factor. It's been described as the cold-weather cousin to the Mediterranean diet.

Stromstad police and the municipality have requested the closure of Systembolaget to keep inebriated Norwegians off the town's streets, reports Swedish public radio station P4 Vast.

Mette-Marit stated she was manipulated and deceived by Jeffrey Epstein, claiming she did not know he was a sex offender despite having Googled him in 2011.

We are still working from several hypotheses. One of them is whether this is an order from a government entity. This is quite natural given the target – the US embassy – and the security situation the world is in today.

At around 1:00 a.m. we received several reports of an explosion. We arrived shortly afterwards and confirmed that there had been an explosion that hit the US Embassy. There is minor damage. Police said a search for the perpetrators was underway, but they did not provide further information on the nature and cause of the explosion.

The pants have achieved cult status in curling circles, with a Facebook page titled The Norwegian Olympic Curling Team's Pants boasting more than 360,000 followers. Asked what it was about the pants that captivated fans, Ramsfjell said: It's something about curling being a bit silly, and then people showing up looking a bit silly. I feel like it's a perfect synergy.

Brad Stulberg took to Instagram to share that the country's approach to youth sports could be part of the reason why. Obviously Norway and winter sports kind of go hand-in-hand, but Stulberg points out that the country does things a lot differently than countries like America or Canada, where youth sports often feel more like minor league tryouts than kids learning sportsmanship, athleticism, and skills.

Just seven new petrol cars were sold in Norway last month, data shows. The country, which is the frontrunner in the uptake of electric vehicles, shifted a record low number of new fossil-fuel cars in January, information from the Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council (OFV) reveals.

I can't remember the first time I played the lottery I was probably quite young. I'm an optimist. If you don't play, you can't win, and somebody has to win the big prize. Why not me? To me, winning would mean freedom leave my job, have no debts and do exactly as I pleased. I live in Norway, and every few weeks I'd buy a lottery ticket. I'd occasionally win 100 kroner (7.50), which just covered the cost of the ticket.

It will be a great duel,

Italy left it late but eventually claimed a 2-0 win away to Moldova to secure their spot in the World Cup qualifying play-offs. Gennaro Gattuso's side dominated from the start, creating a flurry of early chances, yet Moldova's defensive rapproach kept the match goalless until the closing minutes. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 88th minute when Dimarco floated a precise cross for Mancini to head in. Substitute Esposito then added a second with a powerful header from Politano's delivery.

That word, for me, was workaholism and when I heard it through my headphones earlier this year, listening to an audiobook on the tube, I felt a pang of something between recognition and panic. It transported me back to the worst time in my life. In May 2016, when I was nearly five months pregnant, I travelled to rural Norway to make a short documentary for the Guardian.

Vegard Rabban had little doubt about what he was seeing when a strange red light appeared between his house and garage on Norway's west coast one cold Friday night in late September.
