One of the defining artists of the 21st century, Pharrell Williams was born on April 5, 1973 and made his debut as a rapper in 1992. Williams has cranked out numerous hits as a solo act, as part of the band N.E.R.D and, in collaboration with other artists, he has helped redefine modern pop along with the production team The Neptunes.

The term ‘renaissance man’ exists to this day because of people like Pharrell. He seems to be a true creative master, able to produce massive hits with ease – for himself as well as others. The list of artists he has conjured up hits for is as comprehensive as it is diverse.

Fall Out Boy, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z have all benefitted from his magic touch, and there’s also the scintillating work he composed with his childhood friend (and N.E.R.D bandmate) Chad Hugo in The Neptunes.

Prince, Rage Against The Machine, Britney Spears and The Rolling Stones are just a fraction of the legends that called upon the two to remix or produce their records. Their work as a duo may have taken a backseat to Williams’ solo career, but the influence they’ve had on pop is undeniable.

From ‘Frontin’ in 2003 to the Oscar-nominated uber-smash hit ‘Happy’ in 2013, Williams continues to shape modern pop music into his own image. He was also one of the writers and performers in the two other monster hits of 2013, Robin Thicke’s ‘Blurred Lines’ and Daft Punk’s masterful ‘Get Lucky’.

Williams’ stellar career whiffs of divine intervention, but in truth he is simply one very talented man. So come join him for the ride, because it’s only going to get bigger from here on out!

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
