text: Shop for Harvey Victims: Goodwill's Round Up Goodwill has come up with easy ways to contribute to the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Now through Tuesday, when you make purchases at Goodwill Industries-Suncoast stores, you'll be asked if you'd like to round up the amount of your purchase to support relief efforts. The donations will go to the American Red Cross. If you don't want to purchase anything, you can just donate cash at a Goodwill store. While it seems like the people affected could use new clothes and household items, right now those are too difficult to deliver, so monetary donations are more helpful. For store locations, visit goodwill-suncoast.org. Seasons Change: Tailgate Party and Harvest It's hard to believe that football season's here and Halloween is just around the corner, but here we are. The folks at the Julie's Cottage at Provence, the Emporium and Zoe's Place weren't letting time get away from them, as they're having a Tailgate Party and Harvest Festival Friday-Saturday. The Largo boutiques are three cottage shops in one location at 13128 Indian Rocks Road. You'll find new fall and Halloween wreaths, pumpkin and gourd centerpieces, seasonal candles, succulent arrangements, trendy clothing and jewelry, funky bohemian gifts and outdoor garden items. Show your team pride with one of the themed signs and wreaths, and get gourmet goodies and dips, jams and sauces for football parties. The first 50 customers who make a purchase of $25 and up will receive a swag bag. Parking is available at Julie's and Anona United Methodist Church. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. (727) 517-8102. Dalí Bling: The Art of Fashion In what's becoming a trend this season, the Dalí Museum's upcoming exhibit, Dalí and Schiaparelli, celebrates fashion. Elsa Schiaparelli was a designer who was a contemporary of Dalí's and often collaborated with him, exploring surrealist themes in her designs. Dalí also designed jewelry. Neiman Marcus is hosting a fashion show and private viewing of Dalí's jewelry creations, tonight from 7-9 p.m. at International Plaza in Tampa. The jewelry is from the personal collection of Eleanor Morse, one of Dalí's longtime friends who co-founded the Dalí Museum with her husband, A. Reynolds Morse. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at thedali.org.

The second leg of our trip was to New Orleans (pronounced New Orlins by the locals). We left Vegas at the very unrespectable time of 4am and had to fly to Atlanta first which was a bit of a drag.
We were staying at an Air B'n'B two bedroom condo which was just outside the French quarter. Hilariously enough Matty and I broke our bed (by just sitting on it, I swear!) in the first 10 minutes that we were there. A peek under the bed discovered that the mattress was held up but 3 slats, 2 of which were being supported by paint cans. Ray, the man who owned the condo was very nice, he came and practically rebuilt the supports on both beds. No more paint cans!
We continued the tradition of first and second dinners with a taste of red beans and rice, and jumbalaya rice to start at an outdoor cafe with live jazz music. For dinner I had spicy buffalo wings which were amazingly delicious but also amazingly spicy. Both Mum and I lovingly suffered out way through the entire meal. Yum. Today was also the day I began finding animals to pat. Two cats was today's achievement, haha.
Our second day, Thursday, started with a breakfast with live jazz music. I was starting to realise that most restaurants and bars had some sort of band playing almost constantly. We then took a ferry across the Mississippi River to Algiers for a morning drink in the pub. By the way we had at least one drink almost every day of our trip. By the end I needed to come home to take a break! We also visited the French market and ate the famous beignet donuts.
Thursday night was also the night that we found our favourite place to go on Bourban Street, Lucky Pierre's. We all went out for dinner and then split up at Bourban Street to spent some time in the bars and listening to the live music. Matty and I were almost headed for home when we spotted the lovely Desiree in a Fiona costume from Adventure Time. If that didn't lure us enough, their special was 3 for 1 drinks. Lucky Pierre's turned out to be a burlesque/gay bar where we met 3 very lovely people whom we are now all Facebook friends with. This was also the night that we discovered that people will trow mardi gras beads off the balconies for people walking along the street to catch.
Friday we took a steamboat ride on 'The Natchez' along the Mississippi. We also visited a cemetery, and had dinner in a bar with yet another live jazz band, well 2 actually, at Frenchman Street. Friday was our quiet night.
Saturday we took an airboat tour around the swamp lands. This tour was great! Our guide scared us all with a baby alligator that he pulled from an esky on the boat. I was of course the first brave person to hold it when the 2 large black men sitting next to us flatly refused. Oh yes, and one of those men had a hunting knife strapped to his belt too! The guide also decided that enticing alligators towards the boat with chicken wasn't enough and that he really needed to pull a large one from the water and drop it on the deck of the boat to scare us all some more.
Saturday night we spent some more time at Lucky Pierre's with our friends Desiree, Amber and Al. We also had some quiet drinks on the balcony with Al after he finished his shift.
Our final day we didn't get up to much, except breakfast, because we had to leave around lunch to fly to LA.
At other points in the trip I also made friends with several dogs, patted an police horse and saw a squirrel. Highlights for me of course.

ISLAMABAD – PTI President Makhdoom Javed Hashmi disassociated himself from the party's Azadi March and left for Multan, reported private TV channels on Tuesday.
According to TV reports, Hashmi developed differences with Imran Khan over the party chief's demand of interim government of technocrats.
Another TV report quoted Hashmi as saying, "There is no need of Azadi March any more after the government has announced to constitute a judicial commission to probe alleged electoral rigging in 2013."
However, the party sources have not confirmed the news item. Talking to media, PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi denied the news item and said, "Hashmi is our friend and would remain with the party in future as well."

I have some Jew in me
I'm a landlord in Cleveland, Ohio. I once had a commercial tenant, a barber, who wanted to put photos of "fades" in her storefront window. It was more than fades. Tonsorial art — artistic designs cut into hair.
I let her. She was a Puerto Rican Lesbian cage fighter. She had a couple tattoos on her face, like Mike Tyson. She said she was part Jewish. Maybe she was looking for lower rent.
Odds are you're not Jewish if you say, "I have some Jew in me."
She rented for a couple years. She had a punching bag in the basement.
I'm leery of Jews in boxing. The Star-of-David-on-the-trunks thing is so passe and so suspect.
I'd root for her, though. She paid her rent on time.

The Royal Bank of Scotland is looking to move out of its offices at the Angel, Islington. The offices – controversial from the start because of the 'dead space' at street level – were built for the bank but then sold and leased back, according to The Scotsman. Their report goes on to say that RBS are trying to get out of the lease – and expecting Islington Council to take it on. RBS obviously like taxpayer bailouts.

Will Islington Council take on RBS' Angel offices?
Singing in the rain
The Christmas lights are coming on all over Islington, courtesy of the council.
Yesterday we gathered in pouring rain to see Jason Merrells switch on the Essex Road lights. The Essex Road traders laid on mince pies, and children from the RoseBowl Youth Club sang; feet damp, but not spirits.
It was so wet we wondered whether to call off the evening's canvassing. But with just 23 weeks to go, Christmas and Easter included, to the likely election date, we're not letting any campaign opportunities slip. So armed with boots and brollies we were off to Barnsbury – and I'm glad we did.
On a single estate we met so many people disillusioned with Labour and switching to the Lib Dems. There was the grandmother worried about her family's future; a single mum who says Labour's training schemes have failed her; and a first-time voter who wants to see us win. There was support too from a community activist who used to vote Green. One of the ward team was telling me he'd been approached in the street by someone wanting to help deliver our leaflets. Truly reason to sing in the rain!
Tonight I was doing the singing – carols at the Angel with others from St Mary's. We were singing at the invitation of Christine Lovett, the energetic director of Islington's Business Improvement District. The BID brings together businesses from around the Angel who pay an extra voluntary levy which, unlike the business rates, is spent locally on improving the area for their customers.
We started in Camden Passage and ended up in the N1 Centre. Not quite sure what the queue for the Days of Grays tour made of it, but we had lots of smiles and even applause from passers-by. (For what it's worth, the most popular carols seemed to be Ding Dong Merrily and, as ever, Silent Night).
End of the road for the Mall
Hazel Blears' Planning Inspectorate has ridden roughshod over local views again.
Last year it was the Old Street tower; now it's the redevelopment of the Mall at Camden Passage.
Camden Passage is a unique mix of market stalls and permanent antiques shops. Over recent years it's become diluted with more fashion shops and eateries, but the core antiques business is still strong. And one of the most distinctive buildings in the area is the Mall.
That's partly because it's the most visible bit of Camden Passage, being on Upper Street; and the first bit you reach from the Angel tube. And partly because it's such an interesting building. Originally it was a tramshed, part of the North Metropolitan Tramways Company set up in 1871, operating horse-drawn trams.
It's long had a restaurant upstairs (formerly the wonderful Lola's) and downstairs, a collection of small specialist antiques shops creating the famous mall.
I've blogged before about the battle to defend the Mall from developers. Unable to touch the outside of the building, they applied to take down the partitions creating the mall effect inside to create one large retail unit – and not for antiques. It's not just vandalism, it's daft too. Surely it's counter-intuitive to these recessionary times to put all the eggs in one large basket, compared to the range of thriving small shops. That's the developers' problem. But it also undermines the character of Camden Passage. And that's bad news for all of us who love Islington.
The traders fought a fine campaign. Councillors of both parties, headed by Council leader James Kempton, objected to the plans. The Council rejected the plans and fought the case at appeal.
Clearly all the Labour government's talk of the new localism is so much hot air.
Angel Waitrose due to open 2 April
When we lost our local Woolworths last summer, we didn't know then they would all be going.
I was sceptical about the plan to replace our busy Woolworths. It was one of only two in Islington, the other all the way up at the Archway (it's also now closed of course); and we already had 2 Waitroses, one at Nags Head and one on Whitecross Street near Old Street.
The only comfort is that at least our Woolies workers beat the others to the front of the job centre queue 😦
It's not as if we got an instant replacement. Waitrose was supposed to open in October last year. It's still nto happened. But finally there is some activity behind the hoardings, and the latest word is that the new store will open on 2nd April.
St Peter's action day: sun, soup and success
Getting people out to campaign in January can be a challenge. So I was a little anxious in advance of our first full action day of 2009.
It clashed with the policy conference at LSE. Some colleagues were helping in local by-elections in other boroughs. The weather forecast was bad – I could hear the wind and rain bashing the windows when I woke up. Then came a couple of texts from activists unable to make it. As Rich and I helped unload survey forms at the ward HQ, we wondered if anyone would be joining us.
No need to worry. The sun came out, and so did the helpers. We had two teams out in the morning. My morning team got off to a flying start. The first door we knocked on, I introduced myself, and the lady said, "Oh yes, I vote for you, how lovely to meet you!". Husband was summoned, email addresses exchanged, and offers of coffee politely declined. Our newest canvasser was very impressed. He stayed enthusiastic, even when the dog a few doors down audibly ate his leaflet. The councillor on our team was getting more compliments than casework. And by the time we headed back to HQ for lunch, we'd even recruited a new deliverer.
Our kind hosts were scrabbling to find extra chairs as we ate their soup at lunchtime. Looking round the table, we had activists whose backgrounds include French, Dutch, Somali, Finnish, Turkish, and (most exotic of all, for Islington) south London; mostly young, many new, all keen. People joined in during the day, by the end we'd had 5 teams of canvassers out. One of the newbies has already phoned to volunteer door-knocking on Tuesday too. Like the chip ad says, it's all good….
Angel Crossing: SUCCESS!
It's been a long time coming, but we've now heard the good news back from TfL that they've finally agreed to our demands and will move the Angel crossing.
As the thousands of people who use it every day know, this crossing is a nightmare: it's too crowded, people have too long to wait, the crossing point is too far from the bus stops, and we have cars still passing while the green man is on.
I started this campaign back in 2004 and I'm so grateful to everyone who has supported it in that time. Islington Council, specifically Council leader James Kempton, have been brilliant in supporting the campaign. Special thanks to everyone who signed the petition or responded to the consultation this summer.
We mustn't let things slip now. So I'm asking people to keep writing to the local papers to keep up the public pressure on TfL and the Mayor of London for action as well as promises.
Moving the crossing won't happen overnight: work is due to start next spring/summer 2009 – watch this space for progress reports.
Stormy weather
When thunderstorms were raging over London earlier today, I wondered if I should cancel tonight's campaign session. Just as well I didn't!
It was a really successful foray round the pretty small streets just off City Road near the Angel. Comparing notes at the end of the evening we had one new member, two new deliverers and a batch of supporters.
We'd planned to meet for drinks at the lovely Charles Lamb pub on Elia Street, but it was packed out (maybe Thursday is the new Friday…). So we went to the Arc. Confession time: I've never been in there before. It's a bit of an identikit modern pub – low leather sofas, sports channel on screens, lager and BOGOF cocktails.
Normally I'd have a swift half but we'd had such a good evening, I felt like a celebration. And the Arc's cocktail du soir was a Stormy Weather. The main flavour is ginger, my favourite, so that was that. I normally get headaches before a storm; if I feel rough tomorrow, I've only myself to blame.
Meanwhile, if you've missed out, here's a Stormy Weather recipe. It couldn't be easier, and tastes equally delicious whatever the weather.
And if you prefer a song, listen to Ethel Waters here…..

When you look at the Stampin' Up! Retiring list it will appear that ALL of the ink pads on on the list! Rest assured, they are NOT all retiring, but rather the style of ink pad is retiring.
Stampin' Up's mould that they use to make ink pads, was about to expire and they had to decide if they would just keep it the same or if it was an opportunity to change and improve upon the style. Who wouldn't take the opportunity to change things up and keep it fresh?
- It is easier to open
- A larger label on the front to easily identify the colour.
- There is an extra colour label to place inside the pad, to make it even easier to identify the colour when open (no mix ups or dirty ink pads!!).
- The new case is tighter so there are no accidental leak outs.
- The new case is a sleeker design that takes up less space (and the inkpad is only about 1/4″ shorter on one side).
- The ink pad is not quite as "tall" as the previous pad, which makes it work really well with the Stamparatus so you get less ink transfer to the plate.
- The ink pads have a groove on the top that allows them to stack.
- The 'In Color' pads are identified with a little symbol.
In addition, while making changes to the ink pad style, Stampin' Up! also added a defoamer to the ink pad solution that will help when inks sometimes get bubbly. Please note that the colours that are staying are exactly the same formula (other than the defoamer) so new ink refills can be used on old pads and vice versa.
I don't yet have a new ink pad in hand, but my upline, Jenn Tinline, was kind enough to share her pictures comparing the new and old style ink pads. Please check them out below:

The Return of the Howitzer
Looks like the voters have spoken and the cannon that caused local folk angst at the Veterans Memorial near the library is back in place. Now we have a war toy sitting next to a respectful monument to soldiers that gave their lives for their country. Does no one see the irony in placing a weapon like that at such a peaceful spot? It also seems like an afterthought to a well planned and executed memorial. Let's hope there won't be more "permanent loans" headed our way. At least it's not pointed at my neighbor's house this time.

The Philippines is counting on dozens of coal-fired power plant projects now in the development stage to meet soaring electricity demand and help the country avoid a power crisis.
Semirara Chief Executive Isidro Consunji said plans were underway to build a 700 MW power facility, while a 300 MW plant was scheduled to begin commercial operations in the main island of Luzon this year.
Semirara, a unit of conglomerate DMCI Holdings Inc, produces about 8 million tonnes of coal a year and ended the first quarter with a generating capacity of 74.1 MW at one plant, which it said could be expanded to 200 MW.
The company will supply all of the coal needs of its expanding power generation portfolio, Consunji said, providing an income boost for DMCI, which is also engaged in nickel mining, road construction and real estate development.
Semirara normally exports some of its coal to China, but has halted exports to ensure supply for local power generation following the suspension this month of its mining operations in central Philippines after a deadly landslide.
It plans to operate a second coal mine in the same region at full capacity in 2016 and is looking to develop a third.

Blood Bond
By: Alicia Ryan
Blood Bond is probably one of the most unique stories I've read in a long time.
I love vampire stories, and tales from the Georgian era of London; I love time traveling stories and stories that feature love triangles…but, I've never found all of those story-lines in one book!
Roxanna Collins is a singer in Las Vegas (That's where I live! Gasp!) who is ripped through time by a magical soul—that once belonged to the vampire Darren Andrew Highmore, the Earl of Richmond. There, in London in 1815, she finds herself torn between the vampire and virginal Philip Branham, her piano player where she's found employment at a singer in a refined (?) English Men's Club.
You can't get much more unique than that!
Ms. Ryan is a wonderful writer. The story is different but so well written that it all just …MAKES SENSE. The characters are well written and relatable. When Roxanna was amused or frightened or angry, I was amused, frightened and angry. Phillip was so different than other romance novel heroes—not often do you come across virginal and (almost) incorruptible men in these kinds of stories—and yet, he was still heroic and romantic and sexy! Darren, Roxanna's main squeeze, WAS everything you expect in a vampire—scary, strong, monstrous and bloodthirsty. Yet, he was also tender, generous and kind.
There was a time, in my twenties, when I read nothing but romances. It was the only genre I cared anything about. Then, as I got older, I began to steer more toward fantasy, sci-fi and the paranormal. Mainly because romance novels all seemed to follow the script. No matter who the author was you expect each book to run along the same lines. Although I rarely read romances anymore, I'm glad I read this one. It was NOT cut from the same cloth as all the others and I loved it!
If I had a criticism at all it would be this. Andrew—Darren's soul—was…underdeveloped or under-explained. I'm not sure which. He was the only "character"—being a separate being from Darren—that I just wasn't sure what his purpose was, other than to bring Roxanna into the past. After that he just sort of…hung around.
However, he did nothing to detract from my enjoyment of this book.
I would recommend it to anyone who loves vampires, 1815 England, Las Vegas lounge singers, romance and modern day pop songs.

Our fifteen year old Labrador Retriever Sadie passed away at New Year's. We had had her with us since she was nine months old. Some of Sadie's happiest years were spent in Vermont where she greatly enjoyed her neighbors, HannahandJosh (yes, it was always said as one word), especially since Sadie has never known anyone else with hair colour the same as hers since the days of Josh.
Sadie was nanny dog to Sparky, Nemo and then Rico plus several chickens and a cat or two that did not discriminate. She was a very loving, long-suffering, hard-headed dog the colour of a pumpkin.
Other pet memorials of my family can be found here.

One has a fantastic silver bottom that the frog fits into. It has roses all around it. I found several others that I brought back as gifts for my stitching buddies. I hope they enjoy them. Sorry, didn't get a picture of them. I also found this lovely blue candy dish. It will look great with candy in it. Yummmy.....
Another stop on our trip was Virginia Beach. Why in October? I attended the Dyeing 2 Stitch cross stitch retreat. I was lucky to have classes with Shepherd's Bush and Shakespeare Peddler. It is always so much fun to meet the designers in person. Of course I came home with loads of projects to do from the retreat and their shop. Here is my basket that we got as a gift and all of my treasures. I have lots of stitching to do.
They made everyone the most fantastic scissor fob. Here is the one I got.
Time to return to my stitching. Enjoy your weekend.

The Linux kernel added a new kernel parameter called swappiness to let administrators tweak the way Linux swaps. It is a number from 0 to 100.In essence, higher values lead to more pages being swapped, and lower values lead to more applications being kept in memory, even if they are idle.The swappiness parameter controls the tendency of the kernel to move processes out of physical memory and onto the swap disk.

This page is a brief yet growing introduction with some rules-of-thumb for beginners in information visualization. It's a summary of discussions I am having with my students and includes information written more extensively elsewhere:

Stages in Visualization Design
One way of thinking about visualization design is through the following four stages, which build onto each other though iterations are standard.
- Conceptual design—this includes the required visualizations (network visualization, map, charts, .. ) and the interactions between them (zoom, filter, search, etc.. )
- Structural design—this defines the information that goes into each view/visualization and how the components are arranges. E.g. what type of layout for a node-link diagram, horizontal vs. vertical timeline, which visual marks to use to encode information, etc. .
- Visual mapping—once the visualization layout and structure are defined, the visual mapping decides how color, sizes, transparency, etc. are used to encode information.
- Graphical design—eventually, the visualization needs to be improved for clarity and visual simplicity. This involves choosing fonts and color palettes, placing and styling labels, adjusting transparencies, and adding explanations for users to understand the visualization.
The following lists some loose guidelines on what to take into account on each stage.
Conceptual Design
Simplicity—try to find the most simple version of your design possible. Don't be afraid of removing elements if it helps making the visual design breath
Clarity—focus on the presented data and try to remove all visual 'clutter' that you do not need to visualize data or help understanding the data (scales, legends, labels, annotations etc..). The concept of clarity is related to Tufte's notion of data-ink ratio.
Need—focus on the purpose of the visualization. It is easy to try to visualize everything, but a well-crafted visualization supports a specific task. Think what you want your audience to take away from it or how they want to use it. What do they really need.
Understandability—Provide sufficient legends and explanations for people to understand your visualization. This can include smaller captions, tooltips, as well as explicit explanations of the visual encoding (e.g. using an example). Tell people what they can see using your visualization.
Multiple simple views vs. a single complex view—there's a tradeoff between providing multiple specialized views (several barcharts), and integrate all information into a single visualization (e.g. stacked barchart). The choice should be made based on if the information is required to be seen together and needs to be relates (integration is probably a good choice). If the information can stay separate, probably separate visualizations are much clearer and simpler.
Novelty vs. Classics—it sometimes can be necessary or tempting to create a novel, stunning visualization to attract attention and engage your audience. Novel visualization designs can help you solving a specific and tricky problem or to match the design to a specific audience or context. Keep in mind that not all novel designs are clear and understandable and that people need time to understand your novel visualization (the same holds for unusual visualizations that might be well known in a specific domain but not to your specific audience). On the other side, while classic charts might look a little boring, they convey in most cases a very clear message and are commonly understood. Starting from a classic chart, you can your journey to find ways to make them more attractive, more effective for your specific message, or adapt them to the complexity of your data.
Structural Design
Visual Mapping
Color is one of the most prominent visual variables to be used in visualization. With good use, you can create effective visualizations, but with bad use you can obtain quite the opposite.
The basic thing to know is that what we basically call 'color' is made up of three components:
- Hue: that's the type of color such as red, blue, beige, sienna, etc.
- Lightness/Brightness: is the intensity of the color from dark to light: black, dark red, red, rosé, white
- Saturation: indicates how clean the color is and varies between gray and the most shiny version of a hue.
Here are some questions you want to ask yourself when using color in information visualization:
- Can I use color as a visual variable to encode information? Am I using color to encode information in my visualization? Or, am I using color to highlight individual elements in my visualization independent of their values (e.g. a hand-picked set of selected elements?).
- What type are the values I want to encode?:
- ordinal (values with a clear ordering from, e.g. low to high): Do I really use color here or rather shades of that color, i.e. changes in lightness or saturation? If I need may steps to discern, I could try a diverging color scale, i.e. one ranging from one color (blue) via some intermediate (yellow) to another color (red). There are drawbacks of this version and it should be used carefully. A good starting point to discover some examples is http://colorbrewer2.org (see below).
- categorical: this is the most prominent use of color as color can easily be used to provoke the impression of 'equal' elements without any specific order.
- How many values do I need to encode? The rule of thumb is that more than 5-7 becomes tricky for the human eye to discern, however metro maps can show up to 11 and beyond. If you need to encode more values that than, you probably need to find a smarter solution or draw inspiration from examples:
- Is there anything else I need color for in my visualization? You should use color for only one data dimension, i.e. to encode one type of information. Remember that color is a very prominent visual variable and will easily attract attention. In other words, use color for important information.
- Where to get a good color palette from. A good palette for information visualization defines colors that are perceptually discernable
- http://projects.susielu.com/viz-palette: Web tool for exploring color choices on several classic visualization examples
- http://vrl.cs.brown.edu/color: webtool to generate color palettes.
- http://colorbrewer2.org/: webtool with several pre-defined color palettes for both ordinal, diverging, and categorical data.
Graphical Design
These guidelines can be seen as a little checklist. Go through them once you have completed your structural design.
- Use one simple font—Helvetica is usually a good option that works well with most visualization designs and does not distract from reading the data.
- Make labels readable—if you need large labels and think your labels obscure your visualization,
- Use a color palette, don't use some random colors (see section on Color above).
- Avoid gaps in your visualization:
- If you use maps, reduce the map data to the minimum you need. If you think you absolutely need rivers to keep people oriented, ok, show them. Also, keep the map coloring to a minimum. if you absolutely need the sea to be shown in blue, ok, do it.
- Don't use circle size to encode precise quantities. Look at the below example. Would you have guessed that the largest circle has an area more than twice as large than its right neighbor? Have a look at the numbers to convince yourself. Use alternatives such as bar charts, e.g.

Princess Marie's Partnership with the Syddansk University
Article in English & the original article
Yes I understand that this work with the university is a kind of new patronage for princess Marie.
It's great to see that she's more and more involved in her royal activities and that she takes part in something she likes!
Im thinking maybe a new patronage as Ccile said. It would be great to see her take on education. Maybe during their visit they will mention something.
I agree that this would make an excellent patronage for Marie. Princess Benedikte has done some work with education, but I don't think that this university has had a royal patron before. This would be a great patronage to be involved in, especially since it is so close to Schackenborg. Many of the royal patronage events seem to take place near the capitol, so it is nice to see the royals involved in events in the other parts of Denmark. I am really curious to see what the university comes up with for Marie. It's great that she is starting to take on more and more royal duties.
Wow! A university. This sounds like there is more to it than just attending a ceremony. Would love to know more of what it entails.
It is very good for Marie and Joaquim to carry out royal duties near their residence, or relatively near. That way, F and Mary do theirs elsewhere, and there is much more exposure overall.
Before Mary, Alexandra had to do things in Copenhagen, but now that Mary is in that position, it is far better for Joachim and Marie to stay together at home, and be more visible in their own "neighborhoo", or their own part of Denmark.
Interesting how the royal patronages and duties are being assigned, it's happening very carefully.
Joachim is as attentive as ever, looks at Marie with such tenderness. It's nice to see. She is still a bit nervous around the press, I think, and keeps her eyes on the cameras...
Information from the site of the university:
Prinsesse Marie i samarbejde med SDU
Thank you for the link to the article, Princess_Robijn! It sounds like Marie will work as an ambassador for the university. Since she has been an international student, it sounds like the university plans to use her to reach out to prospective students from other countries, or to promote the school to students in other countries who are considering studying abroad. It will be interesting to see exactly what tasks they give to Marie.
A big assignment, but one that she can most likely handle well. Her own experience as an international student, and also a way to publicize the university to others. I wish her much success and believe she is capable of doing this well.
that is such a cool new patronage for marie. has it been confirmed as such? i'm glad she is increasing her list of duties.
it would be interesting to see if they will do some sort of "grant" to study in the university as it happened with mary and copenhagen uni, taking a couple of students per year from australia (france in marie's case). we shall see how it develops.
There are a couple of photos from this event on Myroyal's blog
Myroyal's Blog
What a great site Myroyal's blog is - so many updated pictures. Marie still can't help looking straight at the cameras instead of just acting like they're not around. She's very conscious of their presence.
It looks as though she got on a podium to deliver a speech or something. Does anyone know what was said?
Joachim just seems to take all of this in his stride, he's so used to it. Hope she gets to that point as well.
I love Myroyal's Blog they are always up to date with the royal events and have lovely photos.
Are there any other photos of this event maybe of Marie arriving?
:previous: I haven't seen any yet. I'm not sure of where MyRoyal got their photos. I was hoping that the photos would be online today, but I still can't find any. It looks like Marie addressed the audience at the event. I would love to know what she said, and whether it was in Danish or another language.
I think there are many of us who would like to know what Marie said and in what language. Perhaps a bit of English and Danish?
She has such a radiant smile on that podium.
Finally! An article and photo of Marie at the university:
Billed-Bladet - Marie slår et slag for Sønderjylland
The article says that she plans to devote her time and energy to patronages in the southern part of Denmark. It says that she fits in well, and that she wants to work on projects that strengthen that area of Denmark. She did give a speech in Danish, where she talked about how she studied abroad, and that it is important to share information and pass on experiences to others. Marie said that she hopes to be able to motivate other students to consider studying abroad.
Marie has a page about her workload on the official website now Kongehuset - Kongehuset - HKH Prinsesse Marie - Æreshverv
And according to this she is actually not patron of Syddansk Universitet. It's called "cooperation" (samarbejde) to promote the university. Don't know why, perhaps it's not customary for universities to have a royal patron.
Thank you for the link, Ricarda! I don't know if Marie's exact role with the university has been defined at this time. This may be the reason why they listed her affiliation as a partnership. I think that the Danish Royal Family's website did a very good job at describing how patronages work. I've never seen such a detailed description from a royal house, and I think that their description is very informative.
marie visited yesterday the university of sonderborg apparently, of which she is patron. you can see some pictures here:
H.K.H. Prinsesse Marie deltager i dimissionsfesten på Syddansk Universitet i Sønderborg, Koncertsalen Alsion, kl. 9.55.
It´s always a pleasure to see princess Marie on dutie.
Nice to see her.
