Princess Mary once again showcases her impeccable style

Princess Mary sparkled upon returning to Denmark to welcome in 2023, at the annual New Year's Banquet hosted by Queen Margrethe at Christian VII's Palace in Amalienborg. The Australian-born Princess was joined by her husband Crown Prince Frederik at the ball, which is reserved for the government officials, top civil servants and the Danish royal family. She was pictured arriving at the palace on Sunday evening, wearing a show-stopping glittery pastel blue gown by Danish designer Lasse Spangenberg. Pairing it with her Knight of the Order of the Elephant chain - Denmark's oldest and most distinguished royal order of chivalry. The Danish princess also wore a diamond and ruby encrusted tiara, with her hair styled in an elegant up-do. The sighting comes days after Mary was spotted waving to fans as she departed Hobart on a private jet, wrapping up her festive trip Down Under for Christmas. It’s the first time the Danish royal couple and their children Prince Christian, 17, Princess Isabella, 15, and twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, 11 have returned to Australia in five years. Their trip follows months of intense media scrutiny for the Danish royal family following a row over titles. In September Queen Margrethe announced she was stripping the titles of her youngest son Prince Joachim’s four children which allegedly led to a feud between Prince Frederik and his younger brother. However, last week the royal family released a new portrait of Queen Margrethe showing both of her sons together standing with their wives. The photograph was undated and is believed to have been taken during Queen Margrethe’s Golden Jubilee celebrations in September. Images: Instagram

How r/place – a massive and chaotic collaborative art project on Reddit – showcased the best and worst of online spaces

Many would be familiar with <a href="https://www.reddit.com/">Reddit</a> as one of the largest social networking sites, with a large group of forums (“subreddits”) catering to almost any interest. Since the beginning of April, Reddit has played host to a massive collaborative art project called <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/place">r/place</a> that simultaneously shows us some of the best and worst attributes of cybercultures. Originally launched in 2017, r/place ran for 72 hours. The lifespan of the new r/place was also short – ultimately lasting for just five days. Beginning initially as a blank canvas, r/place allows users to place one coloured pixel every five minutes (or 20 minutes for unverified accounts) as they attempt to build a collective art piece. Traversing through r/place takes you for a journey through time, memes and cultures. At any one moment you might be looking at a Nine Inch Nails logo, the flags of various countries, a QR code linking you to a YouTube video titled The Most Logical Arguments AGAINST Veganism (In 10 Minutes), and a <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/zyzz">homage to Zyzz</a> – a popular bodybuilding figure who passed away in 2011. Some artworks on r/place don’t seem to represent anything at all. The sole mission of <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBlueCorner/">The Blue Corner</a> is (you guessed it) to have a blue corner depicted on the final art piece. The artwork constantly changes over its short lifetime. But even if the drawings of some communities may not go the distance, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnRCZK3KjUY">the time lapse videos</a> depicting the ongoing mutation of the canvas has become a key part of this art piece, ensuring all contributions play a vital part in the lifecycle of r/place. <h2>Collaboration – and opposition</h2> r/place shows us the collaborative nature of humans in online spaces. After its emergence in 2017 it was hailed as “<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/reddit-place-internet-experiment-579049">the internet’s best experiment yet</a>” and praised for capturing “<a href="https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2017/04/place-was-the-internet-in-all-its-glory/">the internet, in all its wonderful glory</a>”. This collaborative online art project allows people to express their individuality as well as collective identities formed through interactions with online spaces. This year’s iteration of r/place, in contrast to the previous version, demonstrates the interconnectivity of communities in digital spaces. No longer is r/place solely reserved for Reddit users. Now, there is clear power in drawing on communities distributed across Twitch, Discord and Twitter. This influx of communities from all over the internet has not been well-received by all. There is a belief Twitch streamers are ruining the work <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/tw3fou/eu_streamer_took_over_our_small_asean_artworks/">of smaller communities</a> and are attempting to sabotage the project. Instead of being a democratic representation of online communities and their art, the argument goes, Twitch streamers are encouraging their fans, numbered in the hundreds of thousands, to capture hotly contested territory. Factions – such as those formed between <a href="https://twitter.com/Rubiu5/status/1511077247025057793">Spanish streamers and BTS fans</a> – have become the primary way to ensure power and influence over the art project. Smaller communities are driven out at the expense of larger influencers with more bargaining power in this pixel warfare. It is not just individuals taking part in this art project. Many believe “bots” are <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/tu2gdg/bots_by_the_username_rplace_are_attempting_to/">running rampant</a>, performing automated tasks in a way that is antithetical to the idea of this artwork as a representation of human achievement as opposed to technical prowess. These examples are just a fraction of the chaos over the internet in the last few days: 4chan operated <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/tufngh/4chan_is_trying_to_make_the_trans_community_look/">coordinated attacks</a> on the Trans flag and LGBTQ+ panels, and streamers are receiving an influx of <a href="https://clips.twitch.tv/TrappedBoringKleeCclamChamp-WJ0LwTK-Uhox6MSa">death threats</a>. <h2>The best and worst of us</h2> At its best, r/place is a powerful illustration of strangers coming together about their passions online and the collaborative nature of the internet. At its worst, it represents everything we have come to dislike about the internet: the exclusion of smaller voices at the expense of influencer cultures, factions between communities, and the toxicity of some cybercultures. Whatever the case, this project has been great for boosting Reddit’s publicity as the company <a href="https://fortune.com/2021/12/16/reddit-goes-public-ipo-filing/">goes public</a>. In its final moments earlier today, users could only place white tiles and watch the spectacle of a once vibrantly coloured collaborative art piece that caused so much chaos among online communities simply transform back into a blank canvas.

Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards showcase hilarious moments

The annual Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are an opportunity for photographers to capture the beauty of the animal kingdom, with a comedic twist. This year’s finalists have produced images of all shapes and sizes striking unexpected and silly poses. From giraffes in Africa and polar bears in the Arctic, to pigeons in the city and otters in rivers, these animals have been immortalised in these hilarious photographs. The finals for the competition will take place on October 22nd, with judges set to have a difficult time choosing from the pictures. The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards began in 2015, and was established with the goal of promoting the conservation of wildlife and their surrounds through the use of positive and upbeat imagery. The unique use of humorous images has seen the competition gain a global following, and offers a new approach to building conservation awareness. The photographs “transcend cultures and ages to bring a smile to everyone’s face”, through these hilarious animal moments that would otherwise remain unseen.

Napoleon Bonaparte’s iconic hat showcased for auction

A newly discovered hat that once belonged to European statesman and general Napoleon Bonaparte has been showcased at an auction house in Hong Kong. The hat contains DNA of the esteemed general, proving it was once in his possession. Described by Bonhams auction house as the “first hat to bear the emperor’s DNA”, the item is currently on display in Hong Kong, before it will be relocated to Paris for a showing and then passed on to London, where it will be auctioned off. The hat is one of the most iconic images of Napoleon’s reign during the French Revolution, and a highly sought after item for history buffs and collectors of unique items. Napoleon’s hat was bought by its current owner at a small auction house in Germany, with the owner not realising that it once belonged to the emperor. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7843847/napoleon-hat.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/c67f28fc696e47899a509c07949bbc0a" /> Image credit: Bonhams Auctions "It was purely a chance encounter," said Simon Cottle, managing director for Bonhams Europe. The buyer became interested in the hat when he realised it had unique inscriptions and other unusual characteristics that suggested it could have belonged to Napoleon. The hat was then extensively tested using various methods, which recovered five hairs that carried the General’s DNA. Most other Napoleon collectors' items were handed down by noble families or from soldiers who picked them up off the battlefield, whereas this hat holds a very different story. The estimated price for the hat is currently between $185,000 and $270,000 with interested buyers remaining skeptical of that hat’s authenticity. Other Napoleon items that have gone through global auction circuits have been sold for as much as $3.3million. Image credit: Getty Images/Bonhams Auctions

Caves in northern Greece are being showcased by a robot tour guide

A new tour guide in Greece is attracting tourists from all over the world, but for a very unusual reason. Persephone has been welcoming tourists to the Alistrati Cave in northern Greece since mid-July, but not all of the visitors are coming to see the caves. Persephone is the world’s first robot tour guide inside a cave, which covers the first 150 metres of the tour that is open to the public, before a human guide takes over. The robot can give its part of the tour in 33 languages and interact with visitors at a basic level in three languages. It can also answer most questions, but only in the Greek language. The robot’s name comes from an ancient Greek myth, where it was said that in a nearby plain that Pluto — the god of the underworld who was also known as Hades — abducted Persephone, with the consent of her father Zeus, to take her as his wife. Nikos Kartalis, the scientific director for the Alistrati site, said the idea of creating a robot guide came to him when he saw one on TV guiding visitors at an art gallery. Nikos said the robot finally became a reality after getting funding, with the build of the machine costing AUD$139,000. "We already have a 70 per cent increase in visitors compared to last year since we started using" the robot, says Kartalis. "People are enthusiastic, especially the children, and people who had visited in the past are coming back to see the robot guide." "It is something unprecedented for them, to have the ability to interact with their robot by asking it questions and the robot answering them," he said. The caves have been a regular tourist spot since they opened to visitors in 1998, with people coming from all over the world to explore the three million year old site. Image credit: YouTube

Australia’s 'Ultimate Bucket List' showcases top travel destinations

Most of us have a list of places we want to see before we kick the bucket, so to speak. With many of those places right here in our own backyard, Australia’s Ultimate Bucket List is the perfect guide to help you tick them off your list. Authored by Jennifer Adams and Clint Bizzell of Network Ten’s popular travel show, Places We Go, the book showcases 100 of the top destinations across the country — all complimented by amazing photography and linked to a map of Australia. It covers every state and territory, and will show you where to swim in hidden waterfalls, walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs, gaze at ancient rock art, drive through red dirt landscapes, and ski mountaintops. WYZA spoke to Jennifer about how and why Australia’s Ultimate Bucket List came to be. WYZA: You’ve obviously written this book because you love travelling — especially around Australia — and you want to share that with others. What would you say to inspire people who haven’t yet seen much of our country? Jennifer Adams: Australia is one of the biggest surprises! Clint and I travelled so much overseas up until we had [our daughter] Charli and it wasn’t until after she was born that we decided, like so many others, to explore our own backyard. It began with a four-month drive around Australia and we were quite simply blown away. One of the things we couldn’t believe was how much we had been missing. Many of us think we have to go to another country to find different and diverse culture, food, and landscapes, but you can find all of that here — and some of it, the best in the world. We would love more people to consider, for example, a trip to the Red Centre instead of an annual resort holiday overseas. It is equally invigorating, refreshing, educational, inspiring, and rewarding — and gives you a much deeper understanding of who and what our country is. The people you meet around Australia are truly one of the highlights. Get out of the major cities and you will find people that are so passionate about where they live, it is inspiring. Regional travel operators who work every day to bring the unique experiences of their location to life are some of the best people you will ever encounter. WYZA: The book features 100 of the very best destinations across Australia. Was it difficult to cut the list down to 100 places or was it relatively easy to know what had to go in? Jennifer Adams: It actually wasn’t easy at all. There was definitely a group of destinations we unanimously and vehemently agreed on — they were the “no brainers”. But it was surprising how hard it got when we were down to the last twenty or so, to pick the final destinations and stop stressing that we had forgotten or missed something that we would regret later. We also took the public vote into consideration, and looked carefully at those destinations that kept being voted for time and time again. Not only did our fellow Aussies let us in on some fantastic secrets, they also did a lot to confirm our own feelings on places to visit. WYZA: Do you have your own personal top ten places to visit in Australia or is that just too difficult? Jennifer Adams: That’s very difficult! It changes all the time but we always come back to places in and around the Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Red Centre, Kakadu, the east coast of Tasmania, Cradle Mountain, Wilsons Promontory, Birdsville, the Whitsundays, outback South Australia, and the south coast of NSW. I know that’s not very specific but we love to do road trips so we always consider “regions” to be destinations. <img src="https://cdn.wyza.com.au/media/5956276/cradle-mountain-700x400-wyza-com-au.jpg" alt="Cradle -mountain -700x 400-wyza -com -au" width="700" height="400" /> Jennifer recommends Tasmania and Cradle Mountain in particular as a must-see! WYZA: If someone only has a few weeks to travel around Australia, what would you say are the “must see” places that really define Australia and will leave them feeling they have seen some of the key landmarks? Jennifer Adams: Definitely the Red Centre — including the MacDonnell Ranges, Kings Canyon, and of course, Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Not only are the landscapes breathtaking, the deep history and culture of the area leaves such a lasting impression of “Australia” on your soul. We would also suggest visiting one of our iconic coastlines, like the Whitsundays, Far North Queensland, the northern NSW coast, or the Coral Coast of WA to experience how spectacular our beaches really are and what the typical “Aussie beach holiday” is really like. Also, Sydney Harbour is a treat for any visitor’s eyes, and some of our alpine regions — such as the Snowy Mountains or Grampians. Australia is always considered a flat, desert landscape by overseas visitors, it is good to introduce them to some of our alpine adventures and pristine wilderness. Can we also add Tassie to the mix? The food and wine is such a sublime showcase of what we can produce — certain to impress any visitor! WYZA: If people have more time, how would you encourage them to use your book? Should they select the type of travel they’re after and then plan according to places which offer this experience and appeal to them? Jennifer Adams: Our first intention is to inspire people. There are so many people out there who don’t have a defined idea of where they want to go and what they want to see and, as we all know, the internet can be a rabbit hole when you start looking. Initially, we hope people will pick up the book, flick through the beautiful pictures, and something will catch their eye. Then there is information including personal stories and “what to do" to confirm their interest enough to keep researching that particular destination. If people do have something in mind, we hope they can flick to that state or particular destination to read further and get some of our insights. WYZA: You often refer to the traditional owners of the areas you’re talking about — the Indigenous people who used to live there or still do. When you were researching this book, was it important to you to learn about the Aboriginal people and their history so you could include this in your book? Jennifer Adams: It was extremely important for us to give a truthful background to every destination including acknowledgment of the indigenous people who originally inhabited and used the land. When we were researching many of the destinations in our book, we added so much to our own knowledge of the area — some of it fascinating, some of it sad, that’s just the truth of it. <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.wyza.com.au/media/5956278/uluru-viewing-700x400-wyza-com-au.jpg" alt="Uluru -viewing -700x 400-wyza -com -au" width="700" height="400" /> The sparse beauty of the Red Centre is another part of Australia that cannot be missed (Image credit: FiledIMAGE / Shutterstock.com) We didn’t want to gloss over that part of our country’s history and only talk about the significance white people have created. Many of the destinations that we chose around Australia, we love for the Aboriginal culture and heritage — such as Kakadu, Mount Borradaile, and many parts of the Kimberley. These stories add so much meaning and depth to a destination, and should be acknowledged. When we have been to these places ourselves, some of the main memories we took away with us were the indigenous stories and people we met — many traditional owners included. We think it’s important that Australian and overseas visitors acknowledge this about any destination where possible — it really does add so much more meaning to your time there and, we hope, helps to bridge the gaps. WYZA: You often refer to the wildlife in an area. Is learning about all the diverse wildlife is one of the interesting parts of travelling to these places? Jennifer Adams: Australia is so incredibly lucky to be blessed with such prolific, diverse, and unique wildlife. It really is one of our true points of difference. Not only should this be an attraction for overseas visitors, but also for Australian visitors. We all get a kick out of spotting a koala in the tree or a kangaroo hopping into our campsite, right? And from speaking to so many travellers around the country, we know it is a key attraction — so we took care to detail what wildlife people will find in certain places because it is all part of the experience! 'Australia's Ultimate Bucket List' is available now in all good bookstores and <a rel="noopener" href="http://t.dgm-au.com/c/185116/69171/1880?u=https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-ultimate-bucket-list-jennifer-adams/prod9781741175714.html" target="_blank">online</a>.

These stories add so much meaning and depth to a destination, and should be acknowledged. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BveDWUhjYAP/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BveDWUhjYAP/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Visit Katherine (@visitkatherine)</a> on Mar 26, 2019 at 4:18am PDT </div> </blockquote> When we have been to these places ourselves, some of the main memories we took away with us were the indigenous stories and people we met — many traditional owners included. We think it’s important that Australian and overseas visitors acknowledge this about any destination where possible — it really does add so much more meaning to your time there and, we hope, helps to bridge the gaps. WYZA: You often refer to the wildlife in an area. Is learning about all the diverse wildlife is one of the interesting parts of travelling to these places? Jennifer Adams: Australia is so incredibly lucky to be blessed with such prolific, diverse, and unique wildlife. It really is one of our true points of difference. Not only should this be an attraction for overseas visitors, but also for Australian visitors. We all get a kick out of spotting a koala in the tree or a kangaroo hopping into our campsite, right? And from speaking to so many travellers around the country, we know it is a key attraction — so we took care to detail what wildlife people will find in certain places because it is all part of the experience!

Duchess Meghan showcases baby bump in dazzling $2000 gown

The Duchess of Sussex has attended her first evening engagement in Fiji with Prince Harry, and when it came to her outfit choice, she did not disappoint. The event, which was hosted by the President of Fiji, H.E. Jioji K. Konrote and his wife, First Lady Sarote Knorote, was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva. <img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7821540/gettyimages-1052802698.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/5c577303cedf4565a1cc7d4d9b0c0ce2" /> The Duchess opted for a floor length, cape-style gown by London-based designer SAFiyAA, with the periwinkle blue colour of the dress being the exact shade as the Fijian flag. The dress, which is sold under the name Ginkgo cape dress, is priced at a hefty $2000 on the brand's website. <img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7821539/gettyimages-1052802844.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/b63ab2f1b77d4087856404a1b10340f1" /> Meghan was seen cradling her growing baby bump as she met with the country’s officials. This is just one of the many engagements the Duke and Duchess have conducted in their itinerary, as the couple takes part in a 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga. Meghan chose to ditch the messy bun and opted for loose waves instead as she kept her look sleek and polished with a centre part and her brunette locks tucked behind her ears. But it was her stunning earrings that stole the show, as the royal chose to keep the rest of her look minimal with no other jewellery in sight. Kensington Palace confirmed to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Sun’s</a> royal correspondent Emily Andrews that the opulent accessory was a “borrowed” item, but it is unclear as to whether they are a part of the royal collection. <img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7821538/gettyimages-1052801434.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/37d99fd1091044a2953043e37f25117c" /> The Duke and Duchess landed in Nausori airport in Fiji on Tuesday afternoon, where the Duchess was spotted wearing a customised dress by Australian label Zimmermann. She paired the white midi-length dress with a headpiece by Stephen Jones millinery. She also carried a Kayu Anna Black Straw Clutch (AU$159) and wore her tried and true “Millie” pumps by Tabitha Simmons. <img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7821542/gettyimages-1052825346.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/d54a0203a2934e4caf86cd0b88a610e0" /> Soon after reaching the Grand Pacific Hotel, the couple stood on the balcony waving to fans and onlookers, a gesture that the Queen and Prince Philip also took part in during their visit to Fiji in 1953. Harry and Meghan will take part in a three-day tour of Fiji, where they will be treated to dance performances, the presentation of Tabua and a Kava ceremony.
