I am working with RDD ROW OBJECTS not a dataframe

A: You can use na.fill("0") to replace all nulls with "0" strings.
spark.read.csv("path/to/file").na.fill(value="0").show()

In case you need integers, you can change the schema to convert string columns to integers.

A: You could add this to your dataframe to apply the change to a column named 'col_name'
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
(...)
.withColumn('col_name', F.regexp_replace('col_name', ' ', 0))

You could use this syntax directly in your code

A: You can add if-else condition while creating Row.
Let's consider WEATHER_DELAY.
row_rdd = split_rdd.map(lambda line: Row(#allothercols,
WEATHER_DELAY = 0 if "".__eq__(line[30]) else line[30])

A: Please allow me another try for your problem, using foreach() method dedicated to rdd.
def f(x) = x.replace(' ', 0)
(...)
row_rdd = row_rdd.foreach(f)   # to be added at the end of your script

Tsipras: Imperative to Have an Emergency Plan, State Must Regulate Energy Markets
By Athens News Agency
FILE - Alexis Tsipras (AP Photo/Yorgos Karahalis)
ATHENS – Main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Alexis Tsipras emphasised the need for an emergency plan by the state in order to address the dire situation regarding energy, in an interview with ANT1 television on Tuesday morning.
"There is no point in describing the dire situation, the point is to see how to get out of it," he said. One of the first assumptions that must first be adopted, he added, was the impossibility of continuing "with an outdated model that causes costs for consumers to skyrocket" at a time when profiteering had reached 1.5 billion euros.
"The state must intervene to regulate the markets, to support citizens that are currently unable to get by," the main opposition leader said, accusing the government of "tragic, strategic mistakes" in energy policy.
"What we are experiencing now is not the crisis of the war, it is the profiteering and the tendency of international markets to raise the price of natural gas," he said. He also pointed out that the prime minister had denied the existence of excessive profits in early March, and had then "suddenly discovered them" when the European Commission issued a directive for their taxation.

Home News Former Spurs midfielder claims club must look beyond up-and-coming Norwich star
Former Spurs midfielder claims club must look beyond up-and-coming Norwich star
Dom Le Roy
Former Tottenham midfielder, Michael Brown, has urged the club to abandon their rumoured interest in Todd Cantwell and go for more experienced options who can improve the side straight away.
Cantwell has had an impressive first season in the top flight with Norwich City as one of the few shining lights in an otherwise disappointing season for the Canaries.
The 22-year-old has shown glimpses of his quality throughout the season and is said to be attracting the attention of some of the biggest sides in the division, including Spurs and Liverpool (Football Insider).
The same publication reported a few days ago that the Lilywhites were set to ramp up their interest in the Norwich star, who they see as one for the future.
However, Brown insists that Spurs need to show more ambition in the transfer market and sign players who will make them title contenders, suggesting that Cantwell, for all his potential, isn't at that level yet.
When asked about Tottenham's rumoured interest in Cantwell, Brown told Football Insider: "That's the thing, it's always that young player with value.
"I said it last summer, are there going to be some more senior, ready replacements that can go and challenge for the top of the league, rather than the young, up-and-coming player where you create the value?
"He's certainly one to improve but I think they need some players as well, like a £50 million signing, somebody who's very, very senior to try and take them on. Mourinho might be looking to do that a little bit more.
"Obviously he will be wanting to fit that bill, you'd expect that."
While I can see where Brown is coming from, it is worth remembering that we actually spent a fair bit in the transfer market last summer with big-money moves for Ndombele and Lo Celso. Our squad isn't as young as it once was and we actually need to reduce our average age. While Cantwell might not come in and immediately stand out, he certainly could be a very useful squad option for next season and undoubtedly has the potential to establish himself in both Tottenham's and England's midfield a year or two down the line.

The Lake County coroner's office is searching for the families of two people who died this month in northwest Indiana.
The people are Eleanor Sisson, an 82-year-old white woman who died Jan. 25 and lived in the 6600 Block of Forest Avenue in Gary; and Steven Pollari, a 39-year-old white man who died Jan. 18 and lived in the 900 block of South Marion Place in Lake Station, the coroner's office said.
Both people are in the care of the coroner's office. Anyone with information on the men is asked to call (219) 755-3265.


Croydon Central MP Sarah Jones has hailed a "major breakthrough" in the fight to tackle knife crime in the borough.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan this week announced plans to form a new Violence Reduction Unit of specialists in health, police and local government, with a long-term public health approach of tackling the causes of violent crime across the capital.
The new unit is expected to improve co-ordination between the Metropolitan Police, local authorities, youth services, health services, criminal justice agencies and City Hall.
An initial £500,000 has been put towards establishing the unit.
"I have been campaigning for a violence reduction unit for over a year because we know that policing alone won't stop the violence," Mrs Jones said.
Since April, when the City Hall-funded Violent Crime Taskforce was set up, police have been actively trying to drive down violence in Croydon by making arrests and taking knives and weapons off the streets.
But many believe that enforcement alone cannot solve the knife crime epidemic, and there is general agreement that a variety of services, and whole communities, must be part of finding the solution.
The Violence Reduction Unit hopes to divert young people away from criminal activity, and aims to support those who need help at an early stage.
By using data from health, criminal justice and other public services, the unit hopes to have a better understanding of the risk factors in a person's early life that can lead to serious violence.
It will also focus on improved and speedier interventions, with the aim of reducing violence and protecting those vulnerable to exploitation.
Mrs Jones has been an avid campaigner in recent years of trying to decrease knife crime in Croydon, and last September formed a cross-party campaign in Parliament to tackle knife crime, called the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Knife Crime.
The MP has previously cited the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit as an example for leaders in central Government and in London to follow, and she has spent time personally with Karyn McCluskey, the founder of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit, learning how Scotland turned around its violent crime epidemic.
In Croydon, several anti-knife crime organisations have benefited from funding since the beginning of Mrs Jones's campaign.
These include Gloves not Gunz, the Croydon BME Forum and charity Lives Not Knives.
"There is evidence from Scotland and the US that violence can be prevented by tackling it as a disease or an epidemic – getting to the root causes," Mrs Jones said.
"I applaud the Mayor for this bold move, and I call on the Government to do the same. Our kids are dying and the government must act now.
Mr Khan believes the Violence Reduction Unit will not only help tackle knife crime, but in fact "all forms of violent crime".
"But I want to be honest with Londoners that the work of the Violence Reduction Unit will not deliver results overnight," he said.
"The causes of violent crime are many years in the making and the solutions will take time. That's why our new approach is focusing over the long-term.

Stalking might seem a harsh way to put it, but it describes what is currently going on with many social media sites. Privacy advocates have been warning people for quite some time about the dangers of giving social networks all types of permissions, from your phone's camera to using your GPS location. The more you share, and the more apps you install, the more at risk you are.
Snapchat has recently been criticized over a new feature that allows geo-location. The truth is that almost any app you install on your smartphone will request permission to access your GPS data, even if the application functions have nothing to do with location. The owners of the app use the information retrieved to provide a more detailed insight of their users to advertisers, who will benefit of knowing the places you commonly visit, or if you are near a store. All the information stored can also be used by third parties. Private investigators in the Philippines have seen how online criminals based in Manila and Cebu use this data to get to know their victims better when planning a crime.
Snapchat's new feature, called Snap Maps, allows its users to share their location and to track each other's movements in real time, with friends and other users able to see where they are and what they are doing. Snapchat made this change automatically and many people didn't even notice.
Of course, there is a privacy setting to opt out of Snap Map, but the great concern is that most users are not even aware that this exists. As with most of these invasive features, sharing is the default. Users have to learn how to turn off the sharing mode, find how and where to do it, and do it. But a great part of the users of Snapchat are in fact children! And now, they're being tracked.
Parents download the app for their children to have fun with the photos. However, minors are not aware of the dangers and parents are not well educated about the risks. They have no idea somebody else could be tracking them. Parents most of the times are not even familiar with the apps their kids use. Child safety experts fear that highlighting kids' locations could put them at risk.
Families are seeking better online protection for children while social network executives are more concerned about making money at the expense of their users' safety. Children in the Philippines already face serious threats like being victim to cybersex trade rings. Disrespectful decisions like the one Snapchat took when including automatically Snap Map just makes concerns worse.
Parents should be more involved in their kids' digital life and follow security measures that can protect their privacy as well their beloved's. Protect your privacy, fight back!
OK, looks like there will be an app less in my phone.
Too bad! I loved this app, so funny.
Snapchat can be a lot of fun for little kids, but it's not worth the risk.
OMG my kids could play with Snapchat all day long! I didn't know they could be tracked.

Becker, 55, once reigned as part of the tennis elite. He was the youngest male singles champion at Wimbledon (17 years of age) and capped his career with 49 singles wins, 15 doubles titles and three Wimbledon victories. and ultimately three Wimbledon victories. His post-tennis life looked promising as he landed broadcasting work with the BBC and spent three years coaching modern great Novak Djokovic to six major titles.
Money woes were never far behind, though. Becker was convicted on tax evasion charges in 2002 and paid a fine for his troubles. He later filed for bankruptcy in 2017, hinting at a sprawling financial debt marked by child support and his lifestyle excesses.
Earlier this year, he was convicted of hiding assets and loans and sentenced to two and a half years in prison. He was released earlier this month, his reputation in tatters.
The judge in the case pulled no punches, noting how Becker hadn't shown enough humility during the trial nor did he learn the lessons from his previous fine.
The two-part docuseries on Becker's fall, helmed by Oscar-winner Alex Gibney, culminates a three-year interview process that included Becker's April incarceration. Gibney is one of the genre's biggest names, a Left-leaning auteur whose previous work includes "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer" and "Taxi to the Dark Side."
Interest is high in the docuseries. The February 2023 Berlin Film Festival already scooped the documentary up, even before it's been given a title. The finished product will air on Apple TV+ presumably later in 2023.
Becker isn't the only star to get entangled in financial woes. Country music legend Willie Nelson famously battled the IRS and lost, a fight that went public in 1990. Time magazine called Nelson a "Top Ten Tax Dodger," but the clever crooner made the most of his troubles.
He recorded an album in 1992 called "The IRS Tapes: Who Will Buy My Memories" and squared away his IRS debt in 1993, with a little help from his friends. Admirers scooped up much of the material Nelson put up for auction to settle his government tab and, later, handed it back to the singing legend.
Just imagine that as the final sequence in a Willie Nelson biopic.
White-collar crime doesn't have the body count of serial killer yarns, but the public's fascination with them is clear. Audiences love rags-to-riches stories. They're part and parcel of the American dream, the concept that anyone, at any time, can rise up based on their natural gifts and hard work.
When those riches devolve back to rags, though, we can't look away. Consider how both Netflix and Hulu served up separate documentaries about the Fyre Festival, the music gala that imploded before a single note could be sung.
Rapper Ja Rule, who co-founded the festival with Billy McFarland, escaped legal woes from the debacle. McFarland wasn't so fortunate, serving jail time for his scheme and owing his investors $26 million.
The public remains fascinated by wealth and celebrity, but it's equally compelling to see people fumble those privileges in startling fashion. One reason we were transfixed by the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard legal fight was hearing how Depp had lost more than his marriage. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" superstar squandered millions on his extravagant wine budget, for example, a tidbit that seems almost comical in its detachment from reality.
Yet for Depp, that was his version of normalcy.
Director John McTiernan could give a director like Gibney plenty of material. McTiernan delivered three of the most iconic action films of the late 20th century – "Predator" (1987), "Die Hard" (1988), and "The Hunt for Red October" (1990).
More hits followed, including 1995's "Die Hard with a Vengeance," but his personal and professional lives collapsed when he was sent to jail in 2013 for perjury and lying to the FBI in connection with his 2002 flop remake of "Rollerball."
McTiernan's Hollywood days effectively ended following his imprisonment, but a documentary (or docuseries) capturing his life might make must-see viewing. Or, talk of his comeback vehicle, the sci-fi action yarn "Tau Ceti Four," could come to fruition and give his life a vital, third-act twist.
The Wesley Snipes story follows a similar arc but offers a happier ending. The action star's career screeched to a halt when he went to jail in 2010 for tax evasion. Three years later Snipes returned to society and Hollywood, and he's since secured strong notices for work in films like "Dolemite Is My Name" and "Coming 2 America."
Snipes told People magazine in 2020 he accepts the blame for his actions and emerged a better person.
"I've gained so much more. I understand so much more … And if two and a half years of my life were in meditation and isolation up at that camp out of the 100 I plan on living, good deal. Good deal."
Snipes' comeback story would similarly make a good film or docu-project. And, chances are, it would get big ratings when it hits a streaming platform.

Contractors install special bathroom fixtures and hardware, which have been specially designed for use by people with disabilities. The project house also gets a real lift in the form of an elevator. It's chain-driven and hidden in a closet, enabling a homeowner with disabilities to access the home's second floor.
Bob and carpenter Bob Ryley put up a grab bar in the bathroom to facilitate a wheelchair-bound person's maneuvering. A flange and lag bolts are used to secure the bar to the wall.
First, Bob Ryley uses a ratchet to make a round hole in the drywall. Then, he bolts the flange to the two-by-eights that have been fastened between the studs. Finally, the bar goes over the mounting flange and is screwed in.
Bob Ryley also installs a recessed, brushed-chrome toilet paper holder, a hinged vanity mirror, and a standard medicine chest.

A lot of people are writing now about why Kerry lost. Here I want to examine a more specific question: why were the exit polls so wrong?
In Ohio, which Kerry ultimately lost 49-51, exit polls gave him a 52-48 victory. And this wasn't just random error. In every swing state they overestimated the Kerry vote. In Florida, which Bush ultimately won 52-47, exit polls predicted a dead heat.
(These are not early numbers. They're from about midnight eastern time, long after polls closed in Ohio and Florida. And yet by the next afternoon the exit poll numbers online corresponded to the returns. The only way I can imagine this happening is if those in charge of the exit polls cooked the books after seeing the actual returns. But that's another issue.)
What happened? The source of the problem may be a variant of the Bradley Effect. This term was invented after Tom Bradley, the black mayor of Los Angeles, lost an election for governor of California despite a comfortable lead in the polls. Apparently voters were afraid to say they planned to vote against him, lest their motives be (perhaps correctly) suspected.
It seems likely that something similar happened in exit polls this year. In theory, exit polls ought to be very accurate. You're not asking people what they would do. You're asking what they just did.
How can you get errors asking that? Because some people don't respond. To get a truly random sample, pollsters ask, say, every 20th person leaving the polling place who they voted for. But not everyone wants to answer. And the pollsters can't simply ignore those who won't, or their sample isn't random anymore. So what they do, apparently, is note down the age and race and sex of the person, and guess from that who they voted for.
This works so long as there is no correlation between who people vote for and whether they're willing to talk about it. But this year there may have been. It may be that a significant number of those who voted for Bush didn't want to say so.
Why not? Because people in the US are more conservative than they're willing to admit. The values of the elite in this country, at least at the moment, are NPR values. The average person, as I think both Republicans and Democrats would agree, is more socially conservative. But while some openly flaunt the fact that they don't share the opinions of the elite, others feel a little nervous about it, as if they had bad table manners.
For example, according to current NPR values, you can't say anything that might be perceived as disparaging towards homosexuals. To do so is "homophobic." And yet a large number of Americans are deeply religious, and the Bible is quite explicit on the subject of homosexuality. What are they to do? I think what many do is keep their opinions, but keep them to themselves.
They know what they believe, but they also know what they're supposed to believe. And so when a stranger (for example, a pollster) asks them their opinion about something like gay marriage, they will not always say what they really think.
When the values of the elite are liberal, polls will tend to underestimate the conservativeness of ordinary voters. This seems to me the leading theory to explain why the exit polls were so far off this year. NPR values said one ought to vote for Kerry. So all the people who voted for Kerry felt virtuous for doing so, and were eager to tell pollsters they had. No one who voted for Kerry did it as an act of quiet defiance.

New Spain (Spanish: Nueva España) was the Spanish colony that came into existence following the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (1521). It was administered as a viceroyalty (Spanish: virreinato), and comprised Mexico, Central America, Spain's Caribbean colonies, parts of the Gulf Coast of North America (primarily La Florida), Texas, New Mexico, the Californias and the Philippines.
The viceroyalty existed until independence was won by Mexico in 1821. The monarch of New Spain was also the King of Castile, and his highest appointed minister who was resident in Mexico was the Viceroy, who lived in Mexico City.
In 1521, Hernán Cortés named the territory he conquered from the Aztecs "New Spain" (Nueva España). The Viceroyalty of New Spain was founded 14 years later (1535) with the appointment of the first viceroy, Don Antonio de Mendoza. The extent of the territory overseen by the viceroy was the northern half of the (global) Spanish Empire in the Western Hemisphere, plus the Philippine Islands. The Viceroyalty of New Spain maintained its territorial integrity until 1821, 300 years after the Spanish Conquest of the Aztec Empire in 1521. It developed highly regional divisions, which reflect the impact of climate, topography, the presence or absence of dense indigenous populations, and the presence or absence of mineral resources. The areas of central and southern Mexico had dense indigenous populations with complex social, political and economic organization. The northern area of Mexico, a region of nomadic and semi-nomadic indigenous populations, was not generally conducive to dense settlements, but the discovery of silver in Zacatecas in the 1540s drew settlement there to exploit the mines. Silver mining became the motor of not only the economy of New Spain, but vastly enriched Spain, and transformed the global economy. New Spain was the New World terminus of the Philippine trade, making the viceroyalty a vital link between Spain's New World empire and its Asian empire.

It is a fact that we do not quite entertain the idea of stopping over for a check up on our dental formulation. An appointment with a dental pro will not quite be at the top of our list of priorities for an honor. It's a wonder why dentists are such a feared professional in the medical world. Apparently, these fears seem to have been ingrained in us from our childhood years.
A number of people and families will stick with the dentists that their families have known which is as good though we also need to examine if our dentist is providing us with the best service. If this ingredient of quality is lacking, then it is best for you to consider seeking an alternative treatment which would offer you quality services.
The question which may be troubling a lot of minds is however the steps and tips which they may go by to help them tell if at all a dentist is good enough for their health check needs. Normally, people will first run to the yellow pages and the local dental societies. Yes, these are good sources but the reality is that they may not be the best especially for the reason that they do not get to evaluate them and give you points of comparison and contrasting the services. For this reason, we give some of these hints to help you out with the search of the right dentists to take care of your dental health within your very locale.
One of the sure places where one can find the best dentists in practice are the dental schools. Thus it will be all too wise that you have the services from these schools should you be able to locate one within your locality. This should not cause you much grey hairs for the only thing you will need to do is to call in school and enquire about the names of the members of the practicing class to have an appointment with them.
The other tip is to check into hospitals and health care centers within your locality as well with the dental units. Banking n their experience and skills as well as their connections to their fellow professional dentists, you can be sure to have the best of services out of their opinion and recommendations.

Princess Märtha Louise moving abroad again
The royal court last night announced that Princess Märtha Louise and her family will be moving to London. The Princess will continue to carry out the few public engagements she has in Norway and also continue her angle school business in Oslo.
According to the court the family are moving to get new impulses and in order for the children to learn another language. The three daughters will attend an English school, but the Palace says that the duration on the stay in England will depend on how they like it there.
A few years ago there was much ado about their moving to New York, a stay which eventually lasted only a few months.

Engagement of Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg
The grand ducal court of Luxembourg has announced the engagement of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume to Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy. Apparently the official engagement will take place at Berg Castle tomorrow, and according to Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker the wedding will take place already this year.
Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy, who is a citizen of Belgium, is the youngest of eight children of Count Philippe de Lannoy (born 1922) and Alix della Faille de Leverghem (born 1941). She was born in Ronse on 18 February 1984. Her paternal grandmother was Princess Béatrice of Ligne, whose nephew Antoine married Princess Alix of Luxembourg, who is a great-aunt of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume.
The Countess, who lives in Brussels, was educated at schools in Belgium and France and at universities in Louvain and Berlin.

Book news: Some royal books expected this spring
While autumn is the time of the year when most books are published this spring and early summer also seem to hold some interesting expectations.
Already out in Sweden is Göran Burén's book Mordet på Folke Bernadotte, published by Leopard förlag, which, as the title suggests, looks at the assassination of Count Folke Bernadotte af Wisborg, the son of Prince Oscar Bernadotte, while acting as UN negotiator in Jerusalem in 1948.
Kerstin Nohrenius, the biographer of French Prince Eugène, Viceroy of Italy and later Duke of Leuchtenberg, and Lars Wiklund have now written a book on his wife and children, focusing on the eldest, who became Queen of Sweden and of Norway. The book, titled Glädje och sorg i en drottnings liv, has 30 March as its publication date, but apparently it is nevertheless not yet for sale.
Another Bernadotte Queen who continues to fascinate is Victoria, the consort of Gustaf V. She is the subject of Anders Jarlert's new book Drottning Victoria – Ur ett inre liv – En existensiell biografi, which seems to promise insight into Queen Victoria's inner life. Like Nohrenius's and Wiklund's book it will be published by Carlssons bokförlag.
Also out already is Lena Rangström's book on royal births and christenings, titled Kanonsalut och vaggor – Kungliga födslar och dop. Another book on the same subject, but apparently dealing with a shorter span of time, Kungliga barn by Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg, will be published in June.
Here in Norway we can look forward to Kongens hus – Alle kongeparets hjem, which will be published by Orfeus Publishing on 8 May.
This book, written by Ole Rikard Høisæther, Thomas Thiis-Evensen and the Queen herself, will present all the residences of the King and Queen. A book of the same title was published in 1995, but very much has happened to the residences since then (for instance the major restoration of the Royal Palace, to mention only the most obvious), so this is an entirely new book on the same subject.
The British book market has much to offer this spring, including a major work on Queen Elizabeth II's diamonds by Hugh Roberts. The Queen's Diamonds, published by the Royal Collection, is expected to be published in mid-May ahead of a major exhibition on the same subject during this year's summer opening of Buckingham Palace. As usual a smaller book aimed at the general audience will also be published in connection with the exhibition: Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration, by Caroline de Guitaut.
The historian Kate Williams will, as previously mentioned, emerge with Young Elizabeth: The Making of Our Queen, expected in May, while her Mistress of Empires: The Extraordinary Life of Josephine Bonaparte, which was also due this year, has been postponed to October 2013.
The journalist Peter Conradi's very interesting book on the current monarchies of Europe, which has already been published in France, Sweden and the Netherlands, will finally also appear in the author's homeland. The Great Survivors: How Monarchy Made It into the Twenty-First Century will be published by Alma Books on 2 June.
In the less serious end of the spectre we can expect Lady Colin Campbell's biography of the late Queen Mother of Britain, The Untold Life of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, which is due to be published on 26 April and has already caused some headlines by its sensational claims that the Queen Mother and her younger brother were not actually the children of their official parents. It will surely be interesting to see what reasons (if any) she gives for Lord and Lady Strathmore employing surrogate parents in order to have a ninth and tenth child...

My latest article: Estelle Bernadotte
The unexpected choice of the name Estelle for the daughter of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, who was born on 23 February, has naturally sparked renewed interest in her distant relative of that name, Countess Estelle Bernadotte af Wisborg. Estelle Bernadotte, who lived from 1904 to 1984, was the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist and married into a junior line of the House of Bernadotte when she became the wife of Folke Bernadotte, the youngest son of Prince Oscar Bernadotte and eventually a humanitarian hero. In the May issue of the British monthly magazine Majesty (Vol. 33, No. 5), which is out today, I tell the life story of Estelle Bernadotte, herself a notable humanitarian who did honour to her name.

New Swedish royal magazine to be launched tomorrow
I know many of my readers were saddened when the Swedish royal magazine Queen ceased publication two years ago. Hopefully they will be equally pleased to hear that a successor, titled Kungliga magasinet (i.e. "The Royal Magazine"), will be launched tomorrow.
Its founder is Roger Lundgren, who was also the founder and first editor-in-chief of Queen. The owner, Bonnier tidskrifter, later replaced him with Pamela Andersson, under whose editorship Queen gradually moved away from the subject of royalty until the last step was also taken and Queen was turned into the general gossip magazine that is S.
Kungliga magasinet, which is independently owned, will focus on Swedish and European royalty, palaces, jewels, orders, history and style, and will be published eight times a year.
Among the contents of the first issue are interviews with Queen Silvia and Count Carl Johan Bernadotte.

King Juan Carlos breaks hip on elephant hunt
This weekend King Juan Carlos I of Spain broke his hip while hunting elephants in Botswana. The King, who is 74, was flown to Madrid, where he underwent surgery for three fractures to his hip.
Obviously this is a PR disaster for the King of Spain. That the head of state of a country in such a deep economic crisis as Spain goes on expensive foreign holidays to hunt endangered species does not look good at all. Furthermore, it has emerged that King Juan Carlos was accompanied by his alleged mistress, Princess Corinna of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn, who is as old as his youngest daughter.
Queen Sofía is reportedly on a private visit to her native Greece with her siblings to celebrate Orthodox Easter, and it was stated during the weekend that there would be no changes to her travel plans. The King and Queen will reach their golden wedding anniversary next month, on 14 May.

New books: Norway's darkest day
It was said of the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, who had been wounded in World War I, but survived, that he used to see in the galleries of the House of Commons the ghosts of his more talented, fallen friends and hear them say: "What you, Harold – you Prime Minister?"
In a couple of decades it is well possible that the same sentiment may be shared by Norwegian MPs and ministers feeling that they would not have been in their positions if others had not been killed on the terrible day of 22 July 2011, when the right wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, driven by a hatred of the multicultural society and the Labour Party, first blew up the government building before continuing to the Labour youth movement's summer camp at Utøya to carry out his massacre, leaving a total of 77 dead, most of them teenagers and young adults representing the future of the Labour Party.
This most dramatic day in the postwar history of Norway is the subject of journalist Kjetil Stormark's book Da terroren rammet Norge – 189 minutter som rystet verden, which was published by Kagge Forlag in December and is now already out in paperback. It is one of those rare books which are excellent and terrible at the same time, in other words so dreadful that it is hard to put down.
Stormark follows the events from the hours before the bombing on 22 July until the enormous flower manifestation in Oslo three days later. The author does not dwell on the ideas that drove Breivik to commit his unspeakable crimes, which might have served to put the drama into a context, but would at the same time have made it a very different and much longer book.
The story is told mostly chronologically and made up of many individual stories. At first this seems somewhat chaotic as the author seems to try to tell too many stories at the same time and thus makes the book too crowded.
But eventually it comes to work very well when he reaches the massacre at Utøya, which lasted for an interminable hour. While charting the actions of the political leadership and the emergency services, Stormark also recounts the stories of individual victims, some of whom survived, some of whom did not.
Here are also the stories of the victims' families, who in many cases were in touch with them on the telephone, but endured the heartbreak of not really being able to do anything to help their children except calling the emergency services, mostly in vain.
The many detailed accounts make it seem that the nightmare will never end and that help will never come, which must have been a feeling shared by those present as the drama unfolded. Only when he is captured is the name of Anders Behring Breivik mentioned for the first time.
The author uses his pen to paint vivid pictures, such as the bereaved family being comforted by a man with a tear-washed face whom a government official suddenly recognised as the King, or the sight after nightfall from the landside of all the cell phones abandoned on the island lighting up in the dark as families and friends desperately and in vain kept on ringing.
It is a heartbreaking story told in the present tense which shows the chaos, the desperation, the uncertainties, the shock, the relief, the despair, the ineffectiveness, the shortcomings and the heroism of that terrible day.
The trial of Anders Behring Breivik starts on Monday. Inevitably there will be many books written on the events of 22 July for many years to come, but Kjetil Stormark's book seems likely to take its rightful place as an instant classic.

Annual report shows royals getting busier
A kind soul at the Royal Palace has sent me the royal court's annual report for 2011, which was released two days ago. The report as usual contains a wealth of information about what the royals and the court have been up to during the previous year and the calendar of the public engagements carried out by members of the royal family reveals that most of them keep getting busier.
For 2011 the King is listed with 204 engagements, which may be compared to 169 in 2010 and 159 in 2009. The Queen carried out 99 engagements, compared to 69 in 2010 and 60 in 2009.
The Crown Prince had 194 engagements, which is almost twice as many as the 102 he carried out in 2009 (with 122 in 2010). However, the Crown Princess had a less crowded schedule, carrying out 59 engagements in 2011, compared to 74 in 2010 and 67 in 2009.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra is listed as having been present for five engagements (compared to eight in 2010 and four in 2009) and Prince Sverre Magnus at four engagements (the same as in 2010, but four times as many as in 2009). However, the calendar curiously fails to mention the children's presence at several events at which they were actually present, meaning that the numbers for them are incomplete.
Princess Märtha Louise was present for 24 functions, which is a significant increase from seven in 2010 and thirteen in 2009 (the increase is mostly due to her having been present for several events during the World Ski Championship).
Princess Astrid, the oldest active royal, carried out 36 engagements in 2011, compared to seven in 2010 and ten in 2009. For her, too, much of the increase is due to her presence during the World Ski Championship.
Members of the royal family carried out engagements in Norway, Switzerland, Ghana, Mali, Britain, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Brazil, Italy, Azerbaijan, USA, Monaco, South Sudan, China, France, Finland, Sweden and Poland.
The report also reveals a decline in the number of visitors to the palaces. During the summer season of 2011 (23 June-13 August) the Royal Palace had 22,994 visitors (compared to 27,165 the previous year), while Oscarshall Palace was visited by 9,969 persons between 1 May and 25 September, compared to 19,359 in 2010.
In 2011 the King awarded one Grand Cross of the Order of St Olav and one Grand Cross Collar. No one was made a Commander with Star, while six men became Commanders. 22 people were made a Knight of the First Class.
Fifteen Grand Crosses of the Order of Merit were given out and eleven people became Commanders with Star. Thirty persons were made Commanders of this order, while 55 became Knights of the First Class and twelve were made Knights.

New books: Versailles
Versailles is arguably the most famous palace in the world. The name itself symbolises not only a palace, an estate and a town, but a way of life, a régime and an historical epoch. Today visitors come in their hundreds of thousands or their millions, making Versailles one of France's foremost tourist attractions.
Needless to say there is a vast literature on Versailles, yet Valérie Bajou's splendid new book Versailles, published in France last year and now in an English translation by Abrams of New York, is a valuable addition to the bibliography on Versailles.
Through nearly 500 abundantly illustrated pages the book tells the story of the palace, the artworks, the gardens, the park, the Trianons and the museum – and the changing faces of Versailles. In doing so, the book also reminds the reader how little one actually gets to see when visiting Versailles as a tourist. The texts are rather short, but there are hundreds of mostly good photos and the captions provide details about the artworks pictured.
As such this is a book which can be heartily recommended both as a supplement to a visit to Versailles and as a consolation to those unable to go there.

Grand Cross for Duchess of Cornwall
Buckingham Palace today announced (external link) that Queen Elizabeth II of Britain has given her daughter-in-law the Duchess of Cornwall the Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) on the seventh anniversary of her wedding to the Prince of Wales.
The Royal Victorian Order was, as the name suggests, founded by Queen Victoria in 1896. It is in the personal gift of the monarch, meaning that appointments are not made on ministerial recommendation, and is mostly used to reward people who have served the monarch or the royal family in a personal way. The order has five grades in addition to a medal (while the Royal Victorian Chain counts as an order on its own).
According to Wikipedia there are currently 54 holders of the Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, including nine members of the British royal family: The Duke of Kent (1960), Princess Alexandra (1960), the Princess Royal (1974), the Duek of Gloucester (1974), the Duchess of Kent (1977), the Duchess of Gloucester (1989), Prince Michael (2003), the Countess of Wessex (2010), the Duke of York (2011), the Earl of Wessex (2011) and the Duchess of Cornwall (2012).
Unlike some of her predecessors and some of her foreign contemporaries, Elizabeth II has been quite strict in awarding orders to her family members. They are generally not given upon coming of age or marriage, but have to be earned through years of service. It is worth noting that until the award of the GCVO to the Countess of Wessex on her 45th birthday in 2010, no daughter-in-law of Queen Elizabeth had been given any British royal order (except for the private family order, which was given to the late Princess of Wales).

Strong approval ratings for most Norwegian royals
Two days ago Dagbladet published an opinion poll (conducted by polling institute Ispos MMI) which shows great approval ratings for most members of the Norwegian royal family. No less than 93 % think the King does a good job, while only 1 % think he does a bad job. 81 % believe the Queen represents the country well, while 89 % say so about the Crown Prince and 75 % of the Crown Princess.
Less good are the results for Princess Märtha Louise and her husband Ari Behn. 25 % think the Princess represents the country well, while 27 % think she does a bad job and 43 % ranks her as average. 5 % think Ari Behn represents the royal family well; 57 % that he does so badly.
The other members of the royal family are not included in the poll, probably because they are either too young or not well enough known to the general public.
The bad result for Princess Märtha Louise should probably be seen in connection with the ongoing controversy over her use of her royal title for promoting her angel "school" and books about communicating with angels. Although this is strictly speaking not linked to her royal role, it is understandable if people include it in their evaluation of how she represents the royal family as nearly everything a princess does will inevitably reflect on the royal family. Furthermore, were she to be evaluated solely by how she carries out her public engagements there would not be much to go by, as she performed only seven official engagements in 2010.
Including Ari Behn may seem a bit odder, as he does not carry out any royal engagements except when accompaying his wife.

Retrospective #303: Poor Dr. Walter Willett
"The Nutrition Source," not to be confused with my, "The Nutrition Debate" (heehee), is the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health's website. With "My Alternate Healthy Eating Index," I took a poke at their Alternate Healthy Eating Index in 2015 in The Nutrition Debate #229. To be fair, though, because they deign to criticize the USDA's Dietary Guidelines, as their HSPH's "Alternate Healthy Eating Index" amply demonstrates, they deserve some notice.
Much of their gravitas was attributable to Dr. Walter Willett, now retired but then Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and chairman of the HSPH. Willett was "the principal investigator of the second "Nurses' Health Study," a compilation of studies regarding the health of older women and their risk factors for major chronic diseases. According to his Wikipedia bio (which he appears to have written), he has published more than 1,000 scientific articles regarding various aspects of diet and disease and is the second most cited author in clinical medicine."
Staying "King of the Hill" is a rough game. Ancel Keys, despite numerous attempts to dethrone him, stayed King until long after he was smoldering in the grave. In fact, his ghost still casts a ghoulish pale. And Walter Willett has recently managed to do so too, using the same type of rough play as Keys used. A 2013 piece in Forbes, based on a story in Nature, tells how the "Top Science Journal Rebukes Harvard's Top Nutritionist." An editorial accompanying the Nature piece was also scathing. Willett's offense was to say on NPR that an article in JAMA, showing people who were overweight (but not obese) lived longer than those deemed normal weight, was "a pile of rubbish, and no one should waste their time reading it." He then organized a conference at Harvard expressly to discredit the JAMA piece.
More recently, Nina Teicholz, author of "The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet," wrote a New York Times op-ed, "The Government's Bad Dietary Advice." In it she says, "…the primary problem is that nutrition policy has long relied on a very weak kind of science: epidemiological, or "observational" studies in which researchers follow large groups of people over many years. But even the most rigorous epidemiological studies suffer from a fundamental limitation. At best, they can only show an association, not causation." Target: Dr. Walter Willett.
"Epidemiological studies can be used to suggest hypotheses but not to prove them," Teicholz said. "Instead of accepting that this evidence was inadequate to give sound advice, strong-willed scientists overstated the significance of their studies." Then, she zeros in: "Much of the epidemiological data underpinning the government's dietary advice comes from studies run by Harvard's school of public health." Teicholz doesn't pull punches. She also takes a hit at the Guideline's advice on salt by citing an "authoritative Institute of Medicine study." I cite it in #153: "Salt: Friend or Foe."
Then, Dr. Willett used his quarterly, "Ask the Expert" interview to address the cholesterol issue. (Remember that the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee said, "cholesterol is not considered a nutrient for overconsumption.") Largely responding to the Teicholz guest op-ed (that he inexplicably calls the NYT "story" or "article"), Willett says,
"The important point is to have the best possible evidence, and we shouldn't be basing dietary guidance on just guesses or beliefs. In the case of both the egg issue and the total fat issue we were basically starting with virtually no direct evidence. When the evidence did start to come in – and there were different lines of evidence from our studies based on large cohorts and also short term studies investigating metabolic changes – it showed that people who consume more eggs did not have a higher risk of heart disease even after adjusting for any other factors, and that total fat in the diet was not related to heart disease risk or cancer risk."
Got that? Willett, a closet vegetarian (some suspect vegan) admits that DIETARY CHOLESTEROL and TOTAL FAT are no longer risk factors for heart disease and cancer. Read that again, please!
But the Forbes piece offers the best rebuke of Willett. "Science is complex, and Willett's message to his fellow scientists appears to be that the public can't be trusted with this complexity (except, as noted, when it might be something that he thinks is worthy of research); the question, which the public might ask in turn, is whether Willett can be trusted with complexity given his apparent intolerance for it in other scientists." Wow! That's heavy.

Manchester United may wait until the summer to sack Louis van Gaal, Chelsea may move for Jorge Sampaoli, while Arsenal could loan out Calum Chambers.
Manchester United would prefer to wait until the summer to sack Louis van Gaal, reports the Daily Mail, as they have reservations over appointing Jose Mourinho and see Pep Guardiola as the 'dream ticket'.
Van Gaal, angered by media reports regarding his future, left his press conference after only five minutes on Wednesday, but the Mail says the Dutchman's future at Old Trafford is so precarious that he is being judged on a 'game-by-game basis'.
However, Ed Woodward is apparently reluctant to fire Van Gaal mid-season and 'does not want to be dictated to' by Mourinho. Furthermore, United are said to have 'serious reservations' about Mourinho's history of overlooking youth players, a factor that is viewed as hugely important at Old Trafford.
Chelsea have 'sounded out' Chile boss Jorge Sampaoli over the possibility of taking over at Stamford Bridge, according to The Sun.
Guardiola and Diego Simeone have both have been linked with the job, while interim manager Guus Hiddink revealed on Wednesday that he could even remain in long-term charge, but Roman Abramovich is also said to be considering Sampaoli.
However, Real Madrid have also made contact with thh 55-year-old, The Sun says.
Sampaoli, who led Chile to the Copa America title over the summer, will hold talks with the Chilean Federation on January 4 before deciding his future.
Arsenal are ready to loan Calum Chambers back to Southampton in January, according to The Sun.
Having struggled for opportunities this season, even following the injuries to Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla, Arsene Wenger wants the 20-year-old to gain more experience elsewhere – and Southampton are keen to have him back on the south coast.
Saints would even like to keep him on loan for the whole of next season if things go well for the rest of the season, but Arsenal will only sanction the move if no club comes in for Mathieu Debuchy, who is currently first-choice cover for Hector Bellerin at right-back.
