The design of Widex headquarters utilises a combination of old and new technology to provide a truly unique building. These include a geothermal system that uses groundwater as a heat reservoir to store an entire years’ worth of heating and cooling, the first of its kind in Denmark, as well as the use of solar cells and recycling of rainwater. Solar energy from 20,000 silicon-based solar cells on 600m2 of the building's facade
But the most visible contribution is the windmill which delivers more power annually than Widex uses. The windmill also means that Widex is a WindMade™ certified company - the first global consumer label for companies that use wind energy.

All of this means that 95% of the needed energy for the building comes from renewable/green sources. That pretty cool considering the building also houses a large production facility

You best be careful Markus, they're watching you.

America puts more of its citizens in prison than any other nation.

Depth charges saw use as anti torpedo mines (reading a up bit on John Walker). That is one gutsy move.

prisons in the US are mostly privatized, it is a big industry.
So they have an urge to fill them up..

I'm not suffering from paranoia and I don't think that the info I got about this huge thing in USA would affect a persons paranoia.

Two-thirds of the world's executions occur in China.

Thanks for the closer look ... now I can see the solar panels. Nice building for anywhere in the world.


Did you know that everyone's tongue is different and that it is the strongest muscle in the body?

As well as being one of the strongest muscles in the human body, the tongue has another interesting quality. Just like unique fingerprints, humans also possess a unique tongue print. Everyone has a unique tongue print, and while it may be some time before your local police station will start taking tongue and fingerprints, research on a 3-D imaging machine is being developed and tested.
