Follow up on the police manhunt Friday.
It was due to an immediate risk of what appears to have been an assassination attempt on a particular individual. That person in now in a safe place. No persons seems to have been apprehended. Nor is it known who was the target.
The police has been extremely secretive and are still reluctant to disclose any information.
What is known is that Swedish Säpo and Danish PET have worked closely together.
I personally don't think so, but ex-president Obama could have been the target of someone coming in via Sweden.
I find it more plausible that the target was a Danish national.
- So that ends this curious affair in this thread at least.

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #50, 2018.
Written by Dorte Quist.
Recently our Marie went about as far from Copenhagen as you can go in Denmark. To Voergaard Manor, located near the east coast of Northern Jutland.
The manor has a well-deserved reputation for beautiful Christmas decorations, with a strong hint of inspiration from France, hence why it was natural for Marie to go there.
That the place also is home to a collection of paintings by Rubens, Raphael and Goya, didn't exactly make the visit less interesting!
A number of the furnitures are French antiques, from the age of Louis XVI and Louis XVI. (In DK the Danified names for French monarchs is still used, the Louis are called Ludvig. That is also the case with Henry VIII, he is also still known as Henrik VIII. Probably because he is so iconic.)
But why is Voergaard Manor so French, I hear you ask. Because in 1955 the place was bought by the Danish-French count Ejnar Oberbach-Clausen and he very much influenced how this medieval manor looks today.
After the tour of the place Marie said: "It's been fun to visit the most beautiful manor in Denmark and I'm very impressed. It's a fantastic collection of French art and very, very fine Christmas decorations."

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #52, 2018.
Written by Henrik Salling.
As you may recall our Marie went with the delivery van from the Food Bank an early morning before Christmas in order to be present when the surplus food was delivered and eaten.
That took place at Gildbro School at Ishøj north west of Copenhagen. A low income, immigrant heavy area, with a considerable number of people with social issues.
The food distributed from the Food Bank is food that is close to the expiry date and as such destined to be discarded by the shops. In order not to waste the food it is instead donated to the Food Bank. (Saves the shops money too in reducing the amount of waste that has to be taken away.)
In the case of this school, as well as other schools, the donated food is served to the children in the morning, because far from all children eat well in the morning - if they have breakfast at all.
Marie said: "It's a really good idea with a breakfast cafe. We have so much surplus food in Denmark and together with the Food Bank the pupils can have breakfast.
There are many children in Denmark who don't eat enough and who go to school without having eaten breakfast. Here at this school they have the breakfast cafe, where they gather and eat healthy food together. That makes good sense."
Marie took part in handing out the food to the pupils and while doing that, she had a chat with many of the children.
"I asked among other things the pupils whether they had eaten breakfast and why they don't eat breakfast at home. Some said it is because it's more cozy here. And some said it is because it taste better here. And some said it is because their parents work very early, so they don't have time to prepare breakfast.
So everyone are very glad that they can eat here at the school."

Princess Marie visited the Danish company Citizen Dane that produces movies and communication. Director Marcus Mandal and Creative Director/CEO Klaus Schiang-Franck told her about how they produce films.

That I think is needed.
From being a matter of course to take French lessons in High school prior to 1960. French has pretty much faded away in the Danish school system. To be replaced by first Japanese and now Chinese.
However, as you all know, French is still spoken in many countries world wide.

That is interesting what you say Muhler about the languages being taught in schools now. When I was at high school it was either French or German. I opted for German.
Today the main language seems to be Japanese being taught. However, I am sure many schools offer Chinese/Mandarin and other languages.
BTW as that was last century when I failed my German test, don't expect me to remember much about it today.
