Lars Karlsson: CapacityNow

Soon. Only hours now. We are all interested in what will happen.

Customs in the center of an historical event.

Great event today – with 700 people celebrating AEO Brazil – the Trusted Trader Programme of the future, already here!

I am extremely proud to be mentioned in this context, knowing what AEO Brazil means to the Brazilian foreign trade and overall economy.

One of the participants, Alexandre Lira, wrote on LinkedIn:

“700 people attending the conference celebrating 5 years of the Brazilian AEO Program, in the theater of Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo – FIESP.

Mr. Jackson Corbari, Brazil Customs Coordinator, has mentioned how successful is the Program (every day 2,000 import declarations and 1,000 export declarations are filed by AEO companies) and mentioned the essential contribution of Mr. Lars Karlsson from KGH Global Consulting to shape and implement the AEO Concept in Brazil.”

“Thanks, Lars, Brazil is so proud to have the most modern AEO Program on the big countries arena and we owe it to you!”

It was a pleasure and honor to work with Receita Federal, OGAs, Trade organization and Brazilian business.

Swedish artist Robyn’s song ‘Dancing On My Own’ changed the sound of pop, indie and dance.

Now the music magazine Rolling Stone has nominated Robyn’s hit Dancing on my own from 2010 as the best song of the decade.

Robyn’s Grammys Award-winning hit is annpunced as the best song of the decade, according to the American music magazine Rolling Stone’s top 100 list.

The song, which is written by the artist and Patrik Berger, is part of Robyn’s album Body Talk Pt 1 and was released as a single in the US and Europe in June 2010 and took first place on the Swedish top list.

One year later, the single was awarded with a Grammy in the song of the Year 2010, and has also been nominated for a Grammy in the Best Dance Recording category.

Rolling Stone Magazine writes:

“I’m right over here, why can’t you see me?” Robyn might as well have been singing to U.S. pop audiences in the 2000s, who mostly ignored her as she spent years refining her bright, fizzy synth-pop sound to perfection. Then came “Dancing on My Own,” the killer single that elevated her to something approaching voice-of-a-generation status among America’s burned-out youth. Written and produced with fellow Swedish ace Patrik Berger, it’s a relatable hit of heartbreak at the club, with a chaser of empowering uplift — exactly the disco anthem we needed in the long hangover of the subprime-mortgage crisis. And while she’s no torch-song diva, Robyn sang the hell out of this one, sounding as warm and human as the precision-engineered track isn’t.

“Dancing on My Own” just kept building as the 2010s went on, soundtracking a memorable scene in HBO’s Girls and countless karaoke nights across the nation. “All the big pop acts that I’ve been into over the years — whether it’s ABBA or Prince — managed to combine amazing melodies and honest human emotion,” Robyn told one interviewer. “But coming out of the super-super-commercial pop industry in the Nineties, maybe people forgot about the fact that pop music can do both of those things.
