Japan is working to arrange a week-long official trip to Turkey by Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko in early December, the Imperial Household Agency said Friday.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome back this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, Neil Gregory, a seven-year former videographer on several ships for Princess Cruises. During those years, Neil kept, and continues to update a diary of his time working onboard ships. His story as reflected in his diary is real, raucous and laugh-out-loud funny! “Cruise Ship Diaries” was featured in my latest book, The Joy of Cruising Again amzn.to/3lAfyON.I hosted Neil on The Joy of Cruising Podcast last year, Episode 20-Cruise Ship Diaries. That hilarious episode pertained to Neil's first contract, onboard Coral Princess. After Coral Princess, Neil went on to a world cruise on Sun Princess and then contracts on Sapphire Princess, Diamond Princess, Crown Princess, Grand Princess, Emerald Princess, Dawn Princess, Royal Princess, and Ocean Princess over the ensuing seven years. Neil says that those years working for Princess Cruises were some of the best experiences of his life. He has seen and experienced destinations and activities that I'm sure that many of us have on our bucket list: scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef; climbing the Great Wall of China, visiting Angkor Wat in Cambodia and getting to walk across the Panama Canal. Sure, there were lows—I'll get Neil to say a little about those—but it wasn't enough to stop Neil from renewing his contract time after time. Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingPodcast-BookACruiseUS Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Can you commit to sustainability while designing clothing and how can the fashion industry and consumers strike the balance for more responsible choices? Luxury fashion designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan is known for his sense of craftsmanship in textiles and tailoring and has dressed celebrities including Lady Gaga and the Crown Princess of Denmark. In a conversation with Kristina May, he reveals his perspectives on responsible fashion. From his experience at Dior and Balenciaga to launching his own brand, he explores the challenge of designing responsibly sourced, timeless pieces that redefine the relationship between clothing and the wearer. Emphasizing beauty, durability, and expressive adaptability, he contends that real change requires both brands and consumers to commit to specialization. In the second part of the episode, you can listen to the panel's input as Katherine Richardson, Morten Grubak, Clare McNally, Mie Levi Fenger, and Kristina May discuss the topic further to explore solutions.

Since childhood, he's had an instinct for expansion and growth. His interest in the human mind and self-inquiry ignited at age 14, after reading his first book on meditation written by Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh).   Eventually, Kranti developed an interest in Yoga. In 1991, he travelled through India, and a few years later, he started a daily practice.   In Milan in 1996, he took a one-year teacher training with Carlo Patrian, one of the yoga pioneers in Italy. A few years later, while in Berlin, he was introduced to the Ashtanga method and fell in love with the practice. Since then, although Kranti's yoga experience was complimented with the Iyangar method, Ashtanga became his daily practice and passion.   Kranti moved to Copenhagen a few years later, teaching Ashtanga and Hatha Vinyasa. He taught different yoga enthusiasts, dancers, actors, and athletes; one of his regular students was the Crown Princess of Denmark, Mary Donaldson.   In Paris in 2002, Kranti attended a workshop with Richard Freeman. He was deeply inspired by Richard's versatile and open approach to yoga and yoga philosophy, and the following year he traveled to Boulder, Colorado, for Richard's one-month intensive teacher training. This experience further deepened his understanding of the Ashtanga method, meditation, and philosophy.   In 2004, he attended a course in Yoga Therapy at the Yoga Biomedical Trust of London, England. He worked with students with heart disease and was moved by the powerful healing aspect of yoga as a complementary alternative therapy.     Since 2005, Kranti has routinely studied in Mysore, India, under the guidance of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and his grandson Sharath Jois. He received Authorization Level 1 to teach Ashtanga Yoga from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 2008, and on July 5th, 2010, Kranti received Level 2 Authorization.   In 2012, Kranti was Certified by the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Institute (KPJAYI) – the only official institute in the world able to certify students to teach the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method by the Jois family.   Kranti & Gabriele Severini, who teaches in Rome, are the only two certified teachers from Italy. As of 2012, only 38 certified teachers were recognised globally by KPJAYI.   Kranti is also a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance (RYT and E-RYT 500 hours), and he completed the Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Sarah Powers.   Through his teachings, Kranti will help you tap into your own true, unique potential. “In addition to Yoga studies, Kranti has trained and self-studied ‘Life Coaching,' NLP, Body Language and psychology, incorporating aspects of these fields in his daily teaching and private lessons.”

We look forward for Neil to come back and talk about his later contracts.I worked for Princess Cruises for seven years and they were some of the best experiences of my life. Every itinerary had its pros and cons as did every contract; the highs on certain days were immeasurable: from scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef, to climbing the Great Wall of China, visiting Angkor Wat in Cambodia and getting to walk across the Panama Canal. The lows could be working yourself to burnout for little pay, not getting along with the people you worked with or shared a cabin with and missing friends and family back home or ‘the real world' as we called it in our cruise ship bubble—Neil Gregory, Cruise Ship DiariesThe Joy of Cruising Again is now available!

Sex education– an active fight to break the stigma and promote sexual health, and controversy for some. With so many people finding the topic taboo, it's so easy to overlook the issues that come with being misinformed on what's meant to be a natural part of being human. In this episode, I'm joined by Kate Roberts, a social entrepreneur that founded The Body Agency, a company that aims to aid women and increase awareness in sexual wellness while being aware and considerate of both political and religious barriers. In addition, she's also the host of the Sex, Body, and Soul podcast, where she has open conversations about sexual wellness, fertility, periods, parenting, menopause, and more.   Episode Highlights: What brought Kate into the world of women's health and advocacy How Kate uses The Body Agency to navigate the sexual wellness space. How Kate works around political and religious barriers to teach women about sexual wellness.   About our guest:  Kate Roberts' late father was a ship's captain. By the time Kate was twelve she had seen more of the world, its beauty, vastness and social inequities than most people would see in two lifetimes. These early life imprints, coupled with several harrowing experiences she endured while working in Eastern Europe, fueled in her a fierce determination to make a difference in the lives of women around the globe.   Kate sees obstacles as opportunities and thrives on challenges.  She often describes herself as a ”serial” social entrepreneur; seizing opportunity, launching initiatives, and then moving on to “what's next.” She is a woman driven by passion and purpose. From 1999 until recently, Kate was Senior Vice President for Population Services International (PSI), a Washington, DC based $500M global NGO, that operates in 50 countries. By establishing meaningful relationships with a number of successful business women and philanthropists, she has raised hundreds of millions of dollars; created public and private partnerships and impacted the lives of women across the world.  As a leader in global philanthropy and social change Roberts has parlayed her business acumen and marketing background into a “Madison Avenue” approach; setting concrete goals and delivering measurable results. To that end, in 2012 Roberts founded Maverick Collective (a PSI initiative) to develop impactful projects in the developing world with which to tackle women's health issues. Engaging Melinda Gates, Dr. Precious Motsepe and the Crown Princess of Norway as Co-Chairs, Maverick Collective is redefining what it means to be an effective philanthropist and innovator. Kate describes herself as a pioneer in developing a new type of philanthropy – going beyond the checkbook, using time, talent, and treasure to become a more powerful and efficient advocate for mission-driven philanthropy to end extreme poverty. Historically, Kate's energies have been focused on global initiatives. Recently, her vision has brought her focus closer to home. Early in 2020 Roberts launched Ikigai Company, a private consulting practice dedicated to advising families, individuals and organizations on strategies to design and execute customized and purpose-driven fundraising. Inspired by the importance of empowering women at the most fundamental level, Kate founded The Body Agency, an ecommerce, femtech start-up and a global movement making it easy for women to have access to body health and sexual wellness products, services and education. Her aim is to provide women of all ages and cultural backgrounds an online sanctuary for exploring their body health and intimacy in a modern, affordable and fearless way. Public speaker, and producer of documentaries, and fluent in five languages, Kate routinely appears on TV and in print media, reprising her role as a champion for all that supports the ethos of women. Examples include: 2007 Young Global Leader at The World Economic Forum (WEF), Founding Curator of WEF Global Shapers, Fox News Power Player of the Week, Public Policy top 100 Thinkers, Fast Company Top 100 Most Creative, Vogue 100 Top women, CNN Hero, Jack Valenti AIDS Leadership Award and Fortune's Most Powerful Women. She hosts the weekly Podcast Sex Body and Soul. At the core of her being, is her desire to raise her daughter Lilly in an environment where passion and purpose are the norm and young girls are encouraged to develop into tomorrow's leaders and be free to embrace all of life's opportunities.

Star Wars: The Princess and The Scoundrel by Beth Revis will conclude with Part TWO of Youtini's roundtable book series. We will finish with overarching questions and that classic Star Wars Easter egg finds you may have missed on the first read. Beth Revis's https://youtini.com/book/the-princess-and-the-scoundrel-989465a4f3 (The Princess and the Scoundrel )picks up immediately during the festivities on Endor after the Empire's defeat to showcase the proposal, marriage, and honeymoon of the Crown Princess of Alderaan and the…well…former citizen of Corellia. The couple enjoys a quick ceremony and celebration on the forest moon before being whisked away to the Halcyon, the premiere starcruiser on the Chandrila Star Line. During their voyage, the couple discovers a few of the early trials of married life along with the fact that although the Emperor has been defeated, the Rebel victory isn't quite complete. ▶Star Wars: The Princess & The Scoundrel Review | https://tinyurl.com/55j5zntw (https://tinyurl.com/55j5zntw) ▶Get Your Copy of Star Wars: The Princess & The Scoundrel | https://tinyurl.com/bdenh9zw (https://tinyurl.com/bdenh9zw) ▶The Youtini Book Review System | https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHdMZHAyM3ZFSkpNa2QwNF9vRFFzZDR1YWVQd3xBQ3Jtc0tuQ1VHTGIxTkcyOXNsdXdMNWhNa1RITVNyeWhxS1pCc2htRENhUVdLd2lGWkh2VDlrTlVvQUwzbUxBclRCMEFFRG1HWElUSl9aVTNMMXpVejJnUHVqSlAxdDZfbWFkOW1xX28wRGk5bEN5S2hWdElJNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F2p857edd&v=fm4XQ0VJrHA (https://tinyurl.com/2p857edd) ▶New Book & Comic Releases on http://youtini.com/ (Youtini.com) | https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHdQdDJ5amR3U3l1LWRGLU9XN0NEWVdST0JnQXxBQ3Jtc0ttR2diampHaGxneXhuMjV0REo0MjRzbDBGTlhVLUYtcnptNFZuaGI5d1JrdThERXQ0U1lXdDVrSk5JVjdDd1UyWlJ0emc2UmNVVHNyVFFaVm44ZVlsVUlIVklCd0swRXZwZHp2SktGTlVnNVVzSUJmOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F4bnhp8du&v=fm4XQ0VJrHA (https://tinyurl.com/4bnhp8du) ▶Complete Star Wars Timeline | https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2N3M001cWg5djZWNWJrWndWaHNzTlFSS3h2QXxBQ3Jtc0tuTy1RZUJyZ0FVN3M1eDlnc1FBaktrbU5KdWVMQ0VxdG9WNG5yZ1VzMmp6STd6YWRhSm02SUxCZzgzY2tEdnZnZ3FSN1FuTVktYnlkR1ZRdndSZTJjcVhieUt1Z09uTEZFUV8tUHhHSUc5Z2ZPVk1ZMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fyznkb8w7&v=fm4XQ0VJrHA (https://tinyurl.com/yznkb8w7) JOIN OUR COMMUNITY ▶ WEBSITE https://www.youtini.com/ (https://www.youtini.com) ▶ DISCORD https://www.youtini.com/discord (https://www.youtini.com/discord) ▶ TWITTER https://twitter.com/youtini_us (https://twitter.com/youtini_us) ▶ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/youtini_us/?hl=en (https://www.instagram.com/youtini_us/?hl=en) ▶ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/youtini (https://www.facebook.com/youtini) SUPPORT YOUTINI ▶ WEEKLY CONTENT ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/youtini (https://www.patreon.com/youtini) ▶ YOUTINI MERCH: https://www.youtini.com/merch (https://www.youtini.com/merch) GET MORE STAR WARS BOOKS ▶ Get A FREE Star Wars Audiobook: https://www.youtini.com/audible (https://www.youtini.com/audible) ▶ Best Canon Book To Read First: https://www.youtini.com/book/lost-stars (https://www.youtini.com/book/lost-stars) ▶ Best Legends Books To Read: https://www.youtini.com/guide/best-star-wars-legends-books (https://www.youtini.com/guide/best-star-wars-legends-books)

What you'll learn in this episode: The surprising stories Prince Dimitri discovered while compiling material for his book, “Once Upon a Diamond: A Family Tradition of Royal Jewels” How decorative and fine arts have influenced jewelry throughout history Why paisley is an enduring motif in jewelry Why mixing high and low jewelry and fashion has always been chic How Dimitri's ancestor Catherine the Great created the royal uniform we recognize today About Prince Dimitri Prince Dimitri founded his company in 2007 after sixteen years as Senior Vice President of Jewelry with Sotheby's and later as head of Jewelry at Phillips de Pury & Luxembourg auction houses. Dimitri's love of jewelry dates from his childhood and unique heritage of a family where the heads of European Royalty were closely tied together in an era of extreme opulence, beauty and culture all over Europe. He began designing jewelry in 1999, with a collection of gemstone cufflinks that was sold at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue. He also designed a line of women's jewelry that was sold at Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus. He has designed for Asprey's in London and done special lines for other American companies. With his own jewelry company he has been able to realize his own vision in his love of gemstones; the juxtaposition of unusual materials and color; imaginative forms and paying attention to detail and to superb craftsmanship. Additional Resources: Website Instagram Facebook Dimitri's Book Photos: Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: Growing up surrounded by the world's most beautiful jewels, it's no wonder that Prince Dimitri became a jewelry designer known for his gemmy creations. After working in the auction world for many years, he launched Prince Dimitri Jewelry, which offers a range of jewels from affordable to six-figure masterpieces. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how jewelry became a symbol of royalty; the most memorable pieces that came across his desk at Sotheby's and Phillips; and where royal jewelers throughout history found inspiration. Read the episode transcript here.     Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is a two-part Jewelry Journey Podcast. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it comes out later this week.    Today, my guest is Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia. After more than a decade in the auction world, rising to the top of the jewelry ranks, Prince Dimitri took his love of gems and launched Prince Dimitri Jewelry. He is also an author, having written “Once Upon a Diamond: A Family Tradition of Royal Jewels.” The book has been described as an extraordinary family scrapbook. It has photographs of his relatives, who are celebrities and royalty, showing them wearing their jaw-dropping jewels. It weaves in stories of his illustrious family background and the history that goes behind the photographs. We'll hear more about Prince Dimitri and his jewelry as well as his jewelry journey today. Prince Dimitri, welcome to the program.   Prince: Thank you. Hello, Sharon. So nice to see you.   Sharon: Nice to see you.   Prince: I heard so much about you.   Sharon: Dimitri, I'm going to let you tell everybody what your official name is because I could not pronounce it. I saw different variations. Go ahead.   Prince: It's a Serbian name. It's pronounced Karageorgevich, and it's written with letters that don't exist in our alphabet.   Sharon: I didn't realize that. It's interesting; in everything I saw about you, it gave your name, but I didn't realize it was Serbian. Tell us about your jewelry journey.   Prince: It all started as a child. I was obsessed with gems, totally fascinated when I saw my mother and my grandmothers wearing jewelry. When we were in the street and there was a jewelry store, I had to go in and look, and I would stare at the showcases. It never left me. I think I was born with it. It's my passion in life. I joined Sotheby's in 1984 and I stayed there until 2001. Then I was at Phillips for three years. Little by little, I started designing, and now it's all I do.   Sharon: I thought it was interesting; some of the material I read said you started making jewelry because you decided you'd seen everything there was to see in jewelry after so long in the auction world. Tell us a little bit about that.   Prince: It's not exactly like that. I started designing cufflinks when I was at Sotheby's totally by chance. I had no idea I could design anything or that I was slightly creative. I was a gemologist and expert. I appraised jewelry, and that's all I did. Then a friend of mine had some cufflinks he had made in Brazil with some lovely stones, but a very ugly mounting with thick claws around it. I looked at it and I thought, “You know, I love those stones, but those big, thick claws around it are so clumsy. You need to remount them.” He said, “How should we remount them?” All of a sudden, my mind went blank. I saw a little hole, and I said, “That's it. You're going to drill a hole in the center of the cufflinks. In that hole, you're going to set a little diamond or a ruby or an emerald or a sapphire. It has to be a precious stone, one of those four. That will be how you mount it, through the stones. What you'll see on your shirt will be that lovely, emerald-cut aquamarine with a little stone in the center.” Slick, clean, very gemmy, very chic, I thought. He did it, and it worked beautifully.    He said, “Why don't we do a collection like that?” Long story short, we did the collection. It ended up at Bergdorf, at Saks. Little by little, I said, “Let's make some rings and some bracelets and some necklaces on the same principle. All of it,” and we made all that. We were doing trunk shows on the side, as I was still at Sotheby's then, and little by little, it took on a life of its own. Then I was given an offer to join Phillips with a group of other people. It was at the time when Sotheby's was going through major changes and nothing was very happy there anymore, so I thought, “Why not?” That didn't last very long, the Phillips adventure, so I continued.    Then, I was approached by a wonderful man who was called Salvador Assael, the king of pearls in those days. After the war, he had convinced all the big houses that black pearls were not black because they were dirty; they were black because it was a beautiful color. He finally opened their eyes. He told me the story of how they would look at the pearls and say, “But these are black pearls. They're dirty. Pearls are supposed to be white,” and he told them, “No, open your eyes. Look at this. This one is a green one. This one is a pinkish one. This one is a peacock one with mixes of green and purple,” and they loved it. He became the number one wholesaler of pearls.   Sharon: Is that Assael?   Prince: Assael, yeah.    Sharon: Wow!   Prince: He's very famous. He called me one day. He said, “You know, I love the old jewels and everything you make.” It was after 9/11. The market was not doing well for jewelry anywhere. He said to me, “I can't sell anything anymore because there are only so many strands of pearls people want. Do you think you can design a collection for me? More importantly, do you like pearls?” I said, “Yes, I absolutely love pearls.” We made this collection, and before you knew it, we were in every Neiman Marcus in America except three or four of them, I think. We were in 35 Neiman Marcuses. We were the number two seller at Neiman Marcus and it became a huge success.    Then I met my business partner who put me in business to be a serious company. That was 2008, so things didn't work as well as I wished. I had to go on my own because he couldn't funnel any more into it, and now that's all I do. I'm back at Neiman Marcus in Dallas, but the bulk of my business now is one-of-a-kind pieces. That's what I really like. As I say in the preface of my book, I like the concept of alchemy. Bring me some lead; I will turn it into gold. All my friends look into their drawers and find these old stones and granny's pearl necklaces that they can't wear because they're so dated and all of that. Sometimes they bring me bags of things that are totally unrelated and I do the magic. Half of the jewels in the book are made like that.    One of the typical examples: I was in Southampton with a friend. We were picking up pebbles on the beach together one day in August. We go home. She shows me these diamond earrings she wants me to remount, these little strings of diamonds that are badly made and boring. I went into the bowl where we had placed all the pebbles. I picked four of the most similar ones, and I said, “Here. This is where your diamonds are going. This is going to be your necklace.” She thought I was completely crazy. She said, “I know you are original and you have ideas, but—"   Sharon: You were mixing pebbles and diamonds? Is that what you were doing?   Prince: Yes. She said, “You're going to have to explain this to me.” I said, “I will. I will do a drawing for you, and you will make your decision.” So, I did the drawing. I get a phone call from her a few days later. She goes, “I love it. I need this necklace more than I've ever needed a piece of jewelry.” It's featured in the book; you'll see it.   Sharon: How did the book come about? Did you want to write the book? Did Rizzoli come to you?   Prince: The same way the first cufflinks came to me: totally by chance. It's one of the miracles of modern technology. It's called Instagram. I put all my jewelry on Instagram, but I have tons of old photos from the family, and I post them and write fascinating stories of what all these people have done. For instance, how my great-grandmother saved the life of Albert Einstein; how Adolph Hitler kidnaped the sister of my grandfather and had them killed in a concentration camp. Some of them are beautiful stories; some are very, very tragic, but there are many of them. Somebody from Rizzoli sent me a message on Instagram saying, “I love your Instagram. We should make a book based on that concept. I need to talk to you.” Long story short, it took two and a half years, and here we are.   Sharon: Somebody should put together a book of all the stories of everything that's come from Instagram, because people have started jewelry lines and written books from it. It's really launched a lot of people. Was it hard for you to gather all the material, or did you already have it?   Prince: I already had all the material. What I didn't have, my mother had. Also, some uncles and aunts and relatives had it, so that was easy. The difficult part was how we were going to make it work. We had to put the chapters in order. It was like a puzzle. We had everything on the floor in our minds, with the different chapters and stories and everything. Little by little, it came together. Everybody had a great idea. I had great ideas.    They lady who wrote the book with me had a great idea. She was a fantastic fact checker. She discovered, for instance, that—one of the stories I tell is how, before the war, my grandmother, then Crown Princess of Italy, had discovered Maria Montessori of the famous Montessori School. She decided she loved that program so much, because it was so modern and interesting and ahead of its time, that she wanted to create her own Montessori School at the royal palace for her children and children of the nobility.    My mother told me, “Yes, it was fantastic. Here's the photo.” The school was in the Gallery Uffizi in Florence, which had been turned into a palace one year before, in 1942. She said, “Yes, and Maria Montessori was so nice. I remember her.” Well, it was a fictitious memory my mother had because she was eight years old. We found out through fact checking that Maria Montessori was actually in India for eight years at the time. The person she met was the associate of Maria Montessori who founded the school with her. My mother assumed that, because her mother was who she was, it was actually Maria Montessori herself who came, but it wasn't the case. We discovered lots of stories like that.    Sharon: Interesting.   Prince: We discovered that my grandmother's famous Cartier jewelry was not Cartier jewelry. I pressed and pressed the wonderful gentleman at the Cartier archives, the poor thing. I tortured him so much that he had to do three months of research to find out that it was my great grandmother, the Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia, who came to Cartier to buy some things and asked him if they could repair this tiara she had in her bag. It was a tiara from Chaumet, and nobody knew it. In every history book, it's listed as the Cartier Tiara.    I had just enough time to jump on my phone and call the editor at Rizzoli when we were already in full print. I said, “This is what's going on. We need to change the story.” They said, “You can delete the word Cartier. That's all I can do for you. It's too late.” We were in the middle of Covid. The paperwork was done in Bologna, which was the center of printing in Italy. “That chapter is going to be printed six hours from now, so let me hang up and call them.”   Sharon: Is that what you did? You just didn't use the word?   Prince: We just removed that, yeah. We couldn't say anything more, but I speak about it all the time. So, now people know.   Sharon: Interesting. I've seen the book and I've looked through it, but I don't come from an illustrious background like you do. My ancestors were not royalty, so I didn't relate to it as much, but now this humanizes it.   Prince: Yes. There are 16 pages of Romanov photos that have never been published before because I owned the four albums they were in, and I've never shown them to anybody. These are really interesting because it shows them in day-to-day life. They are in the south of France. They go to a spa in Gautreau, Seville, famous for its water. They visit the house of Joan of Arc. It's really interesting.    The most fascinating series of photos is the second Olympic Games in history, photographed by my great grandmother. It's all there in the book. There were also photos in Venice and photos in Spain at the bullfights, but we decided not to show the bullfight because it could be controversial. In those days, it wasn't.   Sharon: You've lived all over the world. Prior to coming to the auction world, you went to school in Switzerland, then France?    Prince: I was in law school in Switzerland for a while, then in France. Then I did law school in Paris.   Sharon: When did you do GIA?   Prince: When I came to New York. When I finished law school, I had so many friends already in New York. New York was this magic world far away from us. There was something very exotic about America and New York. It was quite fascinating, so I decided to come here and finish my law studies. I had my degree already, but I thought it would be a good idea to do a training program on Wall Street, which is what lots of European people did. So, I did that on Wall Street for almost a year. It was very interesting. I learned a lot of things, but I wasn't particularly ready to make it a career. There was an opening at Sotheby's that I found out about, and that's how it happened.   Sharon: Was it a huge decision, or was it a natural segue to go into that world from the world you were in, the business world?   Prince: Yes, it was a big decision. It was a very exciting decision. It was a logical thing to do because I have this Renaissance mentality. I think one should know about everything in life. I felt that with a law degree and a kind of Wall Street degree, which is a Series 7—it's the exams you take to become a stockbroker—I thought, “I'm well educated enough to do what I really like, which is gemology and stones and jewelry and all of that.”    I worked at Sotheby's right away. I knew enough about jewelry that I could become an expert right away, in the sense that I needed to learn gemology at the GIA, which I went did by following the prices in the market. Pretty quickly I moved up and became after six or seven years, I think, a senior vice president for the company.   Sharon: What was it about the auction world combined with jewelry that attracted you?   Prince: The amount of jewelry we sold every day, that was the exciting part. For every auction you see, the catalogue you see four times a year in New York, three times a year in Geneva, four times a year in London, and, in those days, also in Hong Kong, that catalogue represents the tip of the iceberg of what comes in and out the doors of Sotheby's. Every day, it was mountains of jewelry. It was so exciting to see so much. I'm very impatient. I want to see a lot. One diamond that's there day after day if you work in a shop is not exciting enough for me.    Sharon: You need the constant turnover and attraction.   Prince: Yes. That was great. One day we discovered, literally in a shoe box in a bank vault on Park Avenue, one of the most famous Cartier tiaras. The same one is in one of the Cartier books today. The lady who had it had no idea. She said, “I have this funny thing that goes on the head from my grandmother. Do you think it's worth anything?” I was like, “Yes! It's fantastic.”   Sharon: Wow! What else is in shoe boxes that we don't know about, right?   Prince: There were lots of things like that. My most beautiful story from Sotheby's, I have to say, was when this poor lady came in. She was a bag lady, literally, in tears and very nervous. I felt there was something going on there. She told me the tragic story of how her husband had divorced her, took all her money, and she had literally one little sapphire ring. She was hoping to get $2,000 to just be able to pay her rent or she was going to be evicted. She was going to be on the street. She starts crying and crying, and she said, “Do you think you can loan me the money?” I said, “Well, can I please see the ring?” She looks at me and goes, “Here it is. Do you think I can get maybe $10,000? Would that be possible? And you could loan me $2,000?”   I take a look at it. It is the most beautiful Kashmir sapphire I saw in my entire life. I said, “I think I can get more. Let me speak to my boss for the loan. Let me see.” I call everybody. I said, “Guys, you won't believe this.” I tell them the story. They all look at the stone and everybody says, “Oh, my god! We've never seen a stone like that.” My boss says, “You know we don't loan money against one piece.” I said, “John, she thinks it's worth $10,000. Let's offer her $75,000 to $100,000 for the ring and let it sell for over $200,000.” He goes, “Fine.”    I go back in the room with a check with me. I said, “Listen, it's your lucky day. That is a lovely ring. I think we can put an estimate of $75,000 to $100,000.” She almost fainted. She goes, “Oh, my god!” Three months later, she comes to the auction. We opened the bid at $75,000. Before you know it, the hammer falls, and it sells for $380,000. She is sitting in front of me sobbing and crying, and then all of us start crying because we knew the story. It is a lovely story because we really changed the life of somebody.   Sharon: That's true. You did the change her life, it sounds like. From there you moved to Phillips. From Sotheby's, you moved to Phillips?   Prince: Yeah.   Sharon: And you were head of the jewelry department there?   Prince: Yes.   Sharon: Where were you when the man from Brazil came to you with the first cufflinks?   Prince: I was at Sotheby's then. It was in 1997. It was 40 years before I left Sotheby's, so I was starting that process little by little then.   Sharon: In your jewelry, you barely see the jewelry part; you see the gem. Is it the gems that are talking to you?   Prince: Both. I love that. A lot of my jewelry is very gemmy, like you say. You're absolutely right, but a lot of it based on whimsical ideas, unusual materials like the pebbles from the beach or even rubber cords. I do things mounted on leather, Damascus steel, oxidized bronze, oxidized silver. 24-karat gold I use a lot. I do all sorts of things. The other source of inspiration is the shapes, shapes as you see them in decorative arts of every culture in the world.    That was the philosophy of Cartier. He instructed, already in the 19th century, the designers who worked for him to look at the decorative arts and to travel and take notes and make drawings of everything they saw, because that was the basis for all sorts of things. In the 19th century, there was a very famous book written, which is called “The Grammar of Ornament.” “The Grammar of Ornament” is a visual dictionary of every artistic style that ever existed in history in any country in the world. It's absolutely fantastic, and I've gotten tons and tons of ideas from there. So did the people at Cartier at the beginning.    For instance, the Edwardian period of Cartier, it coincided with two things: when they rediscovered the Louis XVI decorative arts style with the garlands—it was called the garland style—and the introduction of platinum. Platinum in the old days was not considered a precious metal; it was for industrial applications. Then, when they studied it, they realized how hard it was and how white it was. So, it quickly replaced silver.    If you look at tiaras made with silver, which are the oldest ones from the first half of the 19th century, they are very heavy. They are lovely, but there's something about them. With the introduction of platinum, Cartier was able to transform them into literally a spiderweb, completely ethereal. That's when they double in size. They're ten times as thin and you can put twice the amount of stones. It sits like an aura on your head. That is what gave them the impetus to create the garland style, the classical Art Deco that mutated into Art Deco. At the time, platinum became such a success that it became seven times more expensive than gold.    Sharon: Wow!    Prince: It's interesting, yeah?   Sharon: Yes, very.

Welcome to the 91st episode of Urbcast, in which we will talk about: What is the defense of the big, dense city? Why should we talk about it? Because we face various challenges in our cities, and a big and dense city can be an answer to those. Is that though a recipe for every city? Let's have a closer look at what are the pros and cons of dense, high and a common city like Copenhagen. Why is it worth listening to? Because Simon has a wide experience, observing density in various cities like London, New York or Copenhagen. In the talk, he shares the assumptions from his book, which defends the big cities, as the most efficient ones. As the book is available only in Danish, you can listen about it here. About the guest: Simon Kjær Hansen - is the Director of the Crown Princess Mary Center—solving problems through research and partnerships and the author of the book: Et forsvar for storbyen, which we talk about today The topics we discussed: Story and motivation behind the Et forsvar for storbyen book How does the C40 Cities network operate and how can cities learn from it? Why should we live dense, high and together in our cities? What could other cities learn from Copenhagen? What is the limit of our growth and our density as well? Can we live too close and can it result in Not In My Backyard approach?

After a successful pilot of VeriFLY™ by Daon, a secure and free digital health app allowing vaccinated guests to easily submit pre-embarkation information, Carnival has launched the app fleetwide for all ships in all of its U.S. homeports, making Carnival the largest cruise line to utilize VeriFLY. Guests who use the VeriFLY app can expect the time it takes to complete the health assessment process during embarkation to be cut in half.“VeriFLY helps our guests easily and securely complete pre-embarkation tasks right from their smartphone. Guests can save time at the port and get on board faster by completing the process via VeriFLY,” said Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy.Using the app has been an easy choice for guests from the start. In the pilot program's first test in January, ahead of a cruise on Mardi Gras from Port Canaveral, more than 85 percent of the 2,000 guests who opened an email invitation followed through by downloading the VeriFLY app.Available in the App Store or Google Play, once guests download VeriFLY, they can then search for Carnival Cruise Line and complete the required steps. Guests will be asked to submit required documentation, including vaccination status and COVID-19 test results. When the process is successfully completed, a VeriFLY pass will be issued in the app to present at embarkation. For more information on VeriFLY and the process, click here.Guests who choose not to complete the VeriFLY process are still able to complete their pre-cruise tasks on Carnival.com and present required COVID-19 documents during their embarkation.MSC to sail year round from New YorkMSC Cruises has announced that for the first time it will base one of its ships in New York and operate year-round sailings.  The glamorous MSC Meraviglia will homeport in the Big Apple from April 2023 for year-round cruises to the Caribbean, Bermuda, New England and Canada.

It is a major innovation that signals PONANT's deep commitment to sustainable tourism and to minimising the environmental impact. A ship of scientific opportunity, she is also the only exploration ship in the world to host researchers on board and provide them with dedicated work areas. With Le Commandant Charcot, PONANT is helping the scientific world collect data and gain new insights into the world because “we protect better what we know”. Oceanwide Expeditions announces Antarctica 2023-24 programDutch polar tour operator Oceanwide Expeditions has opened its Antarctica 2023-24 program for bookings, including in the program some of its most ambitious itineraries to date.Both classic expeditions and all-new voyages make up the 2023-24 season, which offers numerous trips for returning explorers as well as travellers discovering Antarctica for the first time.Among the program's many highlights are wildlife cruises that seek out prime hotspots for viewing exotic species, exploratory voyages that emphasize rarely visited areas, and outdoor activities that immerse guests in some of Earth's most remote and wild locations.The remote Weddell Sea, Wilkins Ice Shelf, Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and iconic Antarctic Peninsula are all possibilities – along with our classic Basecamp cruises.A-ROSA to offer PremiumPLUS cruises from 2023A-ROSA Flussschiff GmbH unveiled its strategy for further developing its Premium all inclusive tariff from the 2023 season onwards. Based on detailed guest surveys and market research, the company has developed a new concept for its cruises to meet the changing needs of its guests.More than 200 improvements – large and small – will ensure that A-ROSA, currently a premium operator, becomes a ‘PremiumPLUS' operator from the 2023 season onwards. Taking into account the entire customer journey – before, during and after travel – the company will focus on making its cruises more customizable, as well as providing even better service, improving its culinary offering, becoming more family-friendly and developing its well-being portfolio. A-ROSA also plans to place greater importance on sustainability and on offering authentic experiences at its destinations.Authentic, personalised experiences in the cruise regionsAnother new area of focus for A-ROSA's city breaks by ship is helping guests experience the different destinations in an authentic way. They'll have the opportunity to get to know chefs, artists and local people from the various regions. A-ROSA will also introduce Destination Scouts. This innovative idea involves locals advising guests visiting their hometown on how to get the most out of their trip. “We'll be looking for people from the cities we call at who can give our guests insider tips about the best places to eat or shop and the best current exhibitions, concerts and events,” explained Eichler. “This will give our guests a really in-depth experience of the region and provide insight into local life beyond the tourist areas.”When it comes to excursions, there will also be a focus on personalised experiences. With 500 different excursions available, there will be something for everyone. Guests who book excursions in the new ‘exclusive tours' category will enjoy individual tours with a vehicle and driver plus their own tour guide. One particular highlight is the half-day excursion with dinner, which will be included in the cruise price from 2023 and guarantees guests an unforgettable evening.More entertainment and relaxationA-ROSA's onboard entertainment programme is set to provide even more value from 2023. Cruises with a duration of five nights or more will include an evening concert, while cruises lasting seven nights or more will feature two. Cruises of nine nights or longer will also have a subject-matter expert on board to give lectures about the destinations. The musical artists will either come from or be influenced by the cruise regions. Through their music – whether traditional songs or global hits – they'll convey the artistic flair of their homeland to the guests.A-ROSA is also responding to its guests' desire for more relaxation and well-being by widening the range of activities available. The SPA-ROSA will provide new treatments and massages, while yoga and fitness classes will be added to the onboard programme. As well as going on guided bike tours, guests will also be able to borrow e-bikes and explore destinations on their own. What's more, as the industry's only provider of family cruises, A-ROSA will also be extending its offering for children. “As well as running dedicated family cruises during the school holidays, we'll provide a Kids Club with organised activities on almost all our ships if there are more than ten children on board,” explained Eichler.Focusing on sustainability“When we were working on our realignment plan, it quickly became clear that sustainability would play a central role,” said Eichler. “A-ROSA has always been involved in environmental and social actions, but taking responsibility will be a special area of focus for us in the future.” With this in mind, A-ROSA opened its own sustainability department on 1 February 2022. Department head Sandra Wendland introduced herself at the press conference. “We've brought a high-level partner on board – the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research – and we'll be working together to develop an integrated, long-term sustainability strategy for A-ROSA,” explained Wendland. The plan for the next twelve months is to determine A-ROSA's current sustainability footprint and, on the basis of field analyses and stakeholder surveys, create a clear roadmap to 2030, which will set out indicators, actions to take and targets. “We'll be presenting the entire development and implementation process in a transparent way, and the roadmap will be unveiled at the start of the 2023 season,” concluded Wendland.Viking Mississippi Floats Viking® celebrated the new 386-guest Viking Mississippi® was “floated out” in Louisiana, marking a major construction milestone and the first time the ship has touched water. Set to debut in June 2022, the Viking Mississippi will sail Viking's highly-anticipated voyages on the Lower and Upper Mississippi River, between New Orleans and St. Paul.The traditional float out took place at Edison Chouest Offshore's LaShip shipyard in Houma, Louisiana and is significant because it denotes a ship moving into its final stage of construction. In keeping with maritime tradition, the ship's ceremonial godmother, Dionne Chouest, General Counsel of Edison Chouest Offshore, assisted with the float out.Viking's arrival to the Mississippi will represent a major commitment to tourism and economic development in many communities along the river, with the new voyages expected to bring more than 7,500 guests to the region in 2022 and 17,600+ during the first full sailing season in 2023. Currently scheduled ports of call on Viking's new Mississippi River itineraries comprise seven U.S. states: Louisiana (Baton Rouge, Darrow, New Orleans and St. Francisville); Mississippi (Natchez and Vicksburg); Tennessee (Memphis); Missouri (Hannibal, St. Louis); Iowa (Burlington, Dubuque and Davenport); Wisconsin (La Crosse); and Minnesota (Red Wing, St. Paul).The Viking Mississippi  Hosting 386 guests in 193 all outside staterooms, the new state-of-the-art Viking Mississippi is inspired by Viking's award-winning river and ocean ships and will feature elegant Scandinavian design, as well as public spaces that are familiar to guests but reimagined for Mississippi River voyages.

On 8 March, 2020, McCue further cemented her place in the history books when she captained the history-making, barrier-breaking sailing on Celebrity Edge that comprised a cruise ship's first-ever all-female bridge and officer team. Captain Kate also led the Celebrity fleet – and the industry – back into operation when, on 26 June, 2021, Celebrity Edge became the first cruise ship to sail with guests from a U.S. port in more than a year due to the global Coronavirus pandemic.Celebrity Beyond will not only hold the title of the largest ship in the fleet, but the distinction as the brand's most luxurious vessel.Celebrity Beyond stands at 17 decks high and 21 meters longer than her innovative predecessors Celebrity Edge (2018) and Celebrity Apex (2020).

A nautical playground where little cadets train with the most magical captains at sea. A hip hangout with an ultra-exclusive VIP list.With the addition of Star Wars: Cargo Bay, Mickey and Minnie Captain's Deck and The Hideaway, Disney Cruise Line completes an unrivaled roster of new and reimagined experiences for children of all ages coming to the Disney Wish in summer 2022. More than just highly themed spaces, these kids' clubs will transform into living worlds through magical entertainment presented with the care and expertise of Disney-trained counsellors.Disney's Oceaneer ClubChildren ages 3 to 12 will step into their favorite Disney worlds at Disney's Oceaneer Club, a real-life wonderland featuring more stories than ever before. Previously announced spaces include Marvel Super Hero Academy, a high-tech facility for training the next generation of heroes; Fairytale Hall, a royal trio of activity rooms inspired by Rapunzel, Belle and “Frozen” friends; and Walt Disney Imagineering Lab, a unique opportunity for kids to discover the secrets of world-renowned Disney Imagineers. Rounding out Disney's Oceaneer Club are two brand-new spaces – Star Wars: Cargo Bay and Mickey and Minnie Captain's Deck. New Adventures at Star Wars: Cargo BayThe peculiar creatures and legendary characters of the Star Wars galaxy will take center stage at Star Wars: Cargo Bay. This first-of-its-kind immersive experience will place kids in the important role of creature handlers as they learn to manage a mischievous menagerie of exotic beings from across the galaxy, including a porg, Loth-cat, worrt and more. Throughout the cruise, they'll use augmented reality-enabled datapads to track and study the creatures on a series of special assignments. But there's more to this job than meets the dianoga eye: The new crew will actually be joining an important mission to deliver a pair of secret stowaways, Rey and Chewbacca, back to the Resistance.During the interactive “Star Wars: Creature Challenge” experience, the newly minted caretakers will be put to the test as they help feed the lifelike creatures and encounter some of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. When things go awry, they'll need to call on the expertise of Rey and Chewbacca — and even channel the Force — to secure the ship from destruction.A Celebration of Exploration at Mickey and Minnie Captain's DeckSpecially designed for the youngest sailors at Disney's Oceaneer Club, Mickey and Minnie Captain's Deck is a nautical playground inspired by the colors, icons and magic of Disney Cruise Line. This brand-new space will be filled with an array of maritime-themed physical and sensory-style games and activities, such as pipe slides and crawl-throughs, ship's wheels, “busy boxes” fashioned as ship controls and cushy life preserver seating areas.When little cadets enter the space, they'll set sail on a fun-filled adventure and enjoy quality play time with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse themselves. At select times throughout the voyage, the space will be open to little ones' families for group play, and the toddlers from It's a Small World Nursery will also get dedicated access to the club to explore, learn and play with Mickey and Minnie.  The signature experience will be “Minnie's Captain Academy,” a high-energy training session for kids to exercise their bodies (through playful games, dancing and maritime “drills”) and their minds, testing their imagination and ingenuity during a series of challenges tied to STEAM principles (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). Captain Minnie will inspect their progress and officially declare them honorary captains!Quality Play Time with Super Heroes, Princesses and “Frozen” FriendsAt Disney's Oceaneer Club, kids will have more opportunities than ever to have fun with Disney characters during expertly developed games and programs – and when characters stop by, they will stay to play. Like “Star Wars: Creature Challenge” and “Minnie's Captain Academy,” each space will offer uniquely interactive, memorable experiences that are exclusive to Disney Cruise Line.At Marvel Super Hero Academy, young recruits will join a hands-on training session with Ant-Man and The Wasp, who will teach them how to create and test their very own Pym Particles, the technology that allows these heroes to shrink and grow objects (and themselves).Also at Marvel Super Hero Academy, kids will team up with the masterminds from Pym Technologies and Wakandan Design Group — including a special appearance by Black Panther — to thwart Taskmaster's evil plan to hack into the academy's system and steal the world's most advanced hero tech.When the hub of Disney's Oceaneer Club transforms into the Snuggly Duckling tavern from Walt Disney Animation Studios' “Tangled,” kids will have the best day ever with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider as they embark on a scavenger hunt to recover the missing pieces of the Snuggly Duckling sign.In Belle's Library, children will use their imaginations to create the most daring, hilarious, fantastical new story for their favorite booklover. Belle will lend her wits and her magic mirror to help determine the characters, plot and conclusion of the brand-new tale.At Anna and Elsa's Sommerhus, the newest citizens of Arendelle will join a special celebration of Queen Anna's recent coronation by acting out the history of how she became queen — taking on the roles and iconic movie moments of characters like Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Hans and more — before the queen, her sister and their snowman friend show up to join the fun.More Fun for Disney's Coolest CruisersOlder kids will chill and play in their own way aboard the Disney Wish at trendy hangouts that combine sophisticated design with youthful Disney touches. At Edge, tweens ages 11 to 14 will have fun, make friends and play games in a bright, colorful hangout inspired by a chic New York City loft. Teens ages 14 to 17 will have their own dedicated club at Vibe, a stylish space inspired by a Parisian artists' loft with classic architectural elements, vibrant neon signs and funky pop art.For the first time on a Disney ship, the Disney Wish will feature a third club for tweens and teens: The Hideaway. This hip new hangout will offer older kids and young adults a chill place to relax, listen to music and more in a posh setting complete with a dance floor and DJ booth – perfect for karaoke contests and dance competitions. The Hideaway will be adorned in a vibrant color palette, retro-inspired design details, a stylized “Hiya, pal” mural and disco ball lights. Adjacent to Vibe, this flexible venue can be opened to the teen club, closed off for tween activities and even reserved especially for guests ages 18 to 20.All three spaces will be bursting with creative design details, comfortable lounge space, high-tech entertainment and a jam-packed schedule of can't-miss activities.Edge will boast an indoor solarium area with a sunny overhead skylight effect, carpet patterned with fresh grass and daisies, a back wall mural of a bright blue sky, and games inspired by a colorful outdoor city park. Throughout the space, graphic art displays called “photo walls” will provide ample opportunities for tweens to capture cool, shareable vacation pics that will be the envy of their friends back home.Vibe will feature regal French columns and paneled walls covered with whimsical pop art murals and colorful graffiti; a larger-than-life, brightly painted Mickey Mouse statue; and a traditional French Morris column plastered with Disney-inspired travel posters. Combine those with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean, and every angle in Vibe will offer a selfie-worthy backdrop for the trendiest teens on the high seas.Both Edge and Vibe will offer a main lounge space with cozy furnishings, an oversized LED screen and plenty of room to hang out as a group, as well as comfortable niches for solo gaming and movie watching. Each venue will include complimentary refreshments: Edge will have a soda bar, Vibe will serve soda and coffee drinks, and The Hideaway will offer smoothies.Boom, baby! Tweens and teens are in for a whole “llama” fun during customized, counselor-led programming designed to engage their unique interests, such as a hilarious new competition themed to the fan-favorite Walt Disney Animation Studios' film, “The Emperor's New Groove.” And the fun doesn't stop there: The activities will even extend into other areas of the ship, with special events for tweens and teens hosted in Hero Zone, Luna and more.It's a Small World NurseryAs previously announced, cruisers ages 6 months to 3 years will be cared for at It's a Small World Nursery, where babysitting services will be provided in a whimsical environment inspired by the beloved Disney attraction of the same name. Here, little ones will play games, make crafts, watch movies, read books and spend time with Disney friends under the expert care of Disney-trained counselors.Maiden Voyage and Inaugural SeasonThe Disney Wish will sail its maiden voyage on June 9, 2022, followed by a season of three- and four-night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, from Port Canaveral, Florida.And moreEthical Cruise T-Shirts Now available branded podcast t-shirts, cruise-tees and Christmas gifts or design your own in the studio.

Brown.  Anxious People begins on New Year's Eve with 'House Tricks' estate agents are hosting an open viewing in an up-market apartment when an incompetent bank robber rushes in and politely takes everyone hostage. For Ana-Lena and Roger, busy buying up apartments to fill the hole in their marriage, it's something else to talk about. For Julia and Ro, panicky parents-to-be, it's yet another worry. Lonely bank manager Zara only came here for the view. While 87-year-old grandmother Estelle seems rather pleased by the company . . .

But Karina has deadly aspirations of her own. Her mother, the Sultana, has been assassinated and grief-stricken, Karina decides to resurrect her mother through ancient magic . . . requiring the beating heart of a king. And she knows just how to obtain one: by offering her hand in marriage to the victor of the Solstasia competition. When Malik rigs his way into the contest, they are set on a heart-pounding course to destroy each other. As always,  will either of these books make it onto the shelf?

September 15 is just one of my favorite days to be a royal watcher. It includes several birthdays and one regnal anniversary. It just is a really fun day so I wanted to include it in the throwback episodes.ORIGINAL DESCRIPTIONWith only Denmark being left out of the conversation, it was a packed day today. It was the opening of the government in the Netherlands. The Duke and DUCHESS of Cambridge visited some of the helpers in London. There were two royal birthdays and one reign anniversary. The Crown Princess of Belgium is receiving her military training and the Belgian Monarchy shared about that. It truly was a glorious day for the royals and it is possibly my favorite day of the year, so far.

The first two episodes show the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Norway, Olav and Martha, being separated as the Germans invade Norway. Olav flees to England with his father while Martha flees to America with their children.

Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode Two of Atlantic Crossing. Norwegian Crown Princess Märtha was born in Sweden, but Swedish actor Sofia Helin didn't know her story until she signed on to play the quiet Royal in Atlantic Crossing. But after coming on board the miniseries, Helin helped shape the story of the little-known Princess, bringing a surprising light to her powerful story. Helin talks royalty, FDR, and Saga Noren of Broen in a new interview.

Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode One of Atlantic Crossing. For American viewers, the story of Norway's Crown Princess Märtha is likely mostly unknown. But the Crown Princess' World War II influence was a surprise even for Atlantic Crossing co-writer and director Alexander Eik, who spent almost seven years researching his miniseries. Eik explains how he found the key to Märtha's story, and what viewers should anticipate in the next seven episodes, in a new interview.

Harrison builds on Chris' British royal family focus by finding out which royals have actual jobs. Take for example, young Prince Nikolai of Denmark - he's seventh in line to the throne so doesn't get access to the royal purse. What's the solution? Go and be a model. Chris wasn't impressed…Chris meanwhile learns about the creepy practice (to modern ears at least) of creating death masks. These masks were created generally within hours of a person's death and then used to display around the home, or create statues based on their likeness. Perhaps unsurprisingly Madame Tussaud got her start by making death masks, though she perhaps didn't really want to do so.Harrison's SourcesMembers of the world's royal families who work for a livingPrince Harry, Duke of SussexPrince William, Duke of CambridgePrince Philip, Duke of EdinburghWillem-Alexander of the NetherlandsMeet the King of Rwanda who lives in a council house in ManchesterMarie-Chantal, Crown Princess of GreecePrince Nikolai of DenmarkChris' SourcesThe Crazy True History Of Death Masks Tutankhamun Madame Tussauds history Wikipedia article on Marie Tussaud Turns Out, CPR Doll's Face Is A Copy Of 19th Century Drowned Woman's FaceIf you enjoyed this episode please leave us a review on iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts!We'd really appreciate it.

It was a weird day for the European Royals. There was really good news from Belgium and the United Kingdom, but some not great news from Norway. There was one future Queen just starting learning about her Country's culture and another future Queen starting at the beginning of her transition from child to adult Crown Princess. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

With only Denmark being left out of the conversation, it was a packed day today. It was the opening of the government in the Netherlands. The Duke and DUCHESS of Cambridge visited some of the helpers in London. There were two royal birthday's and one reign anniversary. The Crown Princess of Belgium is receiving her military training and the Belgian Monarchy shared about that. It truly was a glorious day for the royals and it is possibly my favorite day of the year, so far. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

For Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, the coronavirus crisis began in earnest when California Governor Gavin Newsom asked to allow sick passengers to disembark from the Crown Princess cruise ship, in the West Oakland port area. And life as mayor of this Bay Area city of 435,000 has not been the same since. Schaaf oversaw a successful lockdown, placed the homeless in vacant hotel rooms, and closed sections of streets to vehicular traffic to encourage biking and walking. Now she is focused on making Oakland more sustainable and equitable than before the pandemic struck.

Join Bell Blankenship and Rachel Goodman to discuss episode 7 of season 4 of Man in the High Castle where we talk with Mayumi Yoshida about what it was like to play the Crown Princess, her favorite moments on the show, and what it's like to be a woman in the industry. The Man in the High Castle is an American dystopian alternate history television series produced by Amazon Studios, Scott Free, Headline Picturesand Electric Shepherd Productions. The series is based on the 1962 novel of the same name by American science fiction author Philip K. Dick. The story is an alternate history of the world in which the Axis powers won World War II. The United States has been partitioned into three parts: TheJapanese puppet state of the Pacific States of America, which comprises the former United States west of the Rocky Mountains; a Nazi puppet state that comprises the eastern half of the former United States; and a neutral zone that acts as a buffer between the two areas, called the Rocky Mountain States.

Mayumi Yoshida is as an actress, a writer, a director, a producer, and a changemaker determined to create opportunities for emerging storytellers of colour. She describes herself as living in the space between Asian and North American cultures: relating to and participating in both; keenly aware of the gulfs and overlaps between them. It's an awareness that has fed her screen work, beginning with Akashi, the short film she wrote, directed, and starred in about a young woman who returns to Japan for her grandmother's funeral and confronts some inconvenient personal truths. Mayumi is currently working on the feature film version of Akashi. She portrays the Crown Princess of Japan on Amazon's beloved dystopian drama The Man in the High Castle, and as co-creative director of the Mighty Asian Moviemaking Marathon, she's encouraged Asian Canadian filmmakers to value their own stories. In this introspective interview, Mayumi recounts the childhood experiences that shaped her storytelling sensibilities, reflects on her journey as an actress and filmmaker of colour, and dishes on the fourth and final season of The Man in the High Castle (including which High Castle actor is her real-life sensei).

Panel on Women's Economic Empowerment: Breaking Gender Barriers and Advancing Equity Investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a direct path toward gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth. Women make enormous contributions to economies, whether in businesses, on farms, as entrepreneurs and employees, or by unpaid work in the home.

This week, we are excited to be talking about another novel in the Journey to The Last Jedi campaign, Claudia Gray’s Leia: Princess of Alderaan. In a way, Leia: Princess of Alderaan is a confluence of Claudia Gray’s two previous Star Wars novels. Her first, Lost Stars is a YA novel, and, as I’ve already mentioned, Bloodline is a Leia Novel. (For more on Bloodline, give our Episode 34 a listen.) And Leia: Princess of Alderaan is a YA, Leia novel that follows the sixteen-year-old Princess-to-be in the months and days leading up to her coronation as Crown Princess. We first discuss the news of Colin Trevorrow's exit from Episode IX, then we talk about Gray's characterization of Leia, as well as cool connections to existing material and The Last Jedi!

We have a confession to make. We were rather disappointed by episode 9 of Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (구르미 그린 달빛). The acting, especially that of Park Bogum, is still superb, but we found the quick jumps between all the side plots very tedious to follow. Come on, guys, we know why we watch this show and it's not for the nonsensical rebellion storyline. And where was Yoonsung (Jinyoung from B1A4) in the episode?  Thankfully, episode 10 gave us all the sugarcoated romance our hearts desired between Samnom (Kim Yoojung) and the Crown Prince (Park Bogum). Yoonsung is back for a brief, but powerful confrontation with the Crown Prince. Judy is convinced that there will soon be a Crown Princess pageant in which Samnom and Hayun (Chae Soobin) will have to compete, because of course they do. Linda, who was previously optimistic about the eventual happy ending of this drama series, now isn't so sure. Don't give up, Linda! Korean terms we mention in this episode: 현모양처: [hyun-mo-yang-chuh] wise mother and kind wife. It's a term for what ideal women were supposed to be like, in old Korea. You know, because women weren't allowed to do anything else.  선비: [sun-bee] formal term for scholar. To be a true 선비, as per Confucius, you had to put fairness and goodness ahead of personal needs, and even your life. 연모: [yun-mo] old Korean term for "romantic love". 의금부: [ui-gum-boo] department for investigation and prosecution in old Korea. 한옥: [han-ok] traditional Korean house with shingles. 아버지: [ah-buh-jee] formal term for father. 어머니: [uh-muh-nee] formal term for mother.

Our cruise continued into September as we enjoyed the Crown Princess for almost a month of cruising on our way to New York City. After some difficulty uploading last months changes, we are back with good internet and easily able to make this months deadline. Sorry to those who were looking for the Rv Navigator on September 1, but although finished, it was just not possible to get it uploaded. This month we are back home ready to focus on the RVing lifesyle that we love so much. As regular listeners know, we purchased an iPad at its introduction on April 3, 2010. At this point, it has been part of our family for a little over 6 months. It has become a useful tool which we use almost daily. It has now traveled the world by RV and ship, so we have some interesting comments to make on its use. We also explore the competition as well as update its use for RVers. Finally, this episode is capped with a interesting interview with RV author, Ron Jones from the AboutRving.com website and several RVing books that he has published. He has presented at many RV rallies and shares his take on full time RVing with us.
