When does uncertainty become the worst condition of all? This fall, more than three years after Britain voted to leave the European Union, no one was sure what form Brexit would take, what kind of relationship we would have with our nearest neighbors, or whether the whole thing could still be called off. Theresa May, the first Conservative Prime Minister with the job of taking the United Kingdom out of the E.U., had been forced to step down at the end of July. The second, Boris Johnson, did not seem trustworthy. There was a departure time—11 P.M. on October 31st—which the government tried very hard to convince people was real. On September 1st, it launched a hundred-million-pound public-information campaign called "Get Ready for Brexit." TV spots showed sparkling European vacation destinations and advised viewers to check their travel insurance. There was a six-second video on Snapchat. Signs flashed on highways in the rain, telling truck drivers, "Freight to EU, Papers May Change."
But everyone knew that Brexit was unlikely to happen by Halloween. May had spent two years negotiating an exit deal with the other twenty-seven members of the E.U., only to fail to get it approved by Parliament. Johnson, a flamboyant Brexiteer, wanted to rip up May's agreement, but there didn't seem to be time to start over. He insisted that Britain would leave, regardless of how talks went with Brussels. "No ifs or buts," Johnson said, outside No. 10 Downing Street. The gulf between what the government said was going to happen and what seemed possible, let alone sensible, grew wider by the day. You could scroll through an article on your phone, full of the reasons that Brexit would not occur on October 31st, and be interrupted by an ad from the government telling you to get ready.
The ructions in Westminster took on historic proportions. Johnson lost his first seven votes as Prime Minister. In one, rebel Conservative Members of Parliament joined the opposition to pass a law aimed at preventing Johnson from taking Britain out of the E.U. without a deal. Johnson asked the Queen to shut down Parliament; the Supreme Court opened it up again. He called for a general election; the Labour Party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, refused to agree to one unless Brexit was delayed. The pound fell. Death threats multiplied. Politicians quoted poetry. A third of British adults said that Brexit had affected their mental health. A man in a clown outfit stood outside the gates of Parliament shouting, "Save our bendy bananas!"
Within weeks of the Brexit deadline, three very different outcomes were still possible. Johnson could somehow defy the odds and replace May's deal with a more extreme form of Brexit, and get it approved by Parliament. He could seek to disobey the law and take Britain out of the E.U. without a deal. Or he would have to ask for an extension and hold an election, and the whole sorry story would continue. Newspapers published very complicated graphics, indicating all the branching futures. Foreigners marvelled at the mess. One European ambassador described the situation to me as an "intoxicating self-blockade."
Elements of the Brexit crisis have been there since the beginning. The referendum on Britain's membership in the European Union was a momentous act of direct democracy in a country that has been governed by Parliament for more than three hundred years. Seventy-four per cent of M.P.s, along with the Bank of England, the Confederation of British Industry, David Beckham, Stephen Hawking, and J. K. Rowling—"the establishment," "the machine," in the words of Leavers—opposed Brexit. The referendum did not specify what Brexit would look like. The constitution stretched and strained. The government struggled to cope. May's attempts to contain the opposing forces in the country—the political imperative to leave and the frightening economic consequences of doing so—did not work. She ended up losing her majority in Parliament and crafting a compromise with the E.U., which satisfied nobody.
Since taking office, Johnson has sought to channel the nationalist impulses that brought about the Brexit vote. Unlike May, who quietly campaigned for Remain, Johnson headlined pro-Brexit rallies and spoke of looking forward to Britain's "Independence Day." He talks winningly about the country's future outside the deadening regulations and pooled sovereignty of the E.U. "The people who bet against Britain are going to lose their shirts," he has said.
But Johnson's political career has been marked by lies and evasions. "He is genuinely a bad person. Not an unlikable person but a bad person, as in he has no morals, no principles and beliefs," a former close colleague told me. "He would be whatever Prime Minister was necessary to maximize the chances of gaining and then maintaining power." Between 2008 and 2016, Johnson was a liberal mayor of London. During his campaign, earlier this year, to become the leader of the Conservative Party, he veered between promises to leave the E.U. on October 31st, "do or die," and strange, chummy disquisitions on his hobby of making model buses and painting the passengers inside.
It is hard to know how much he makes up as he goes along. Two days before Johnson took office, he hired as his senior adviser Dominic Cummings, the former campaign director of Vote Leave, the main pro-Brexit organization in 2016. Cummings had almost total control over the messaging of Vote Leave, which became notorious for its brazenness and its success with digital targeting. "Dom is obsessed with propaganda," a former Vote Leave staffer told me. "He will build an army that is programmed to think like him."
This fall, Johnson's high-risk approach to Brexit has been defined by martial imagery and language that summons memories of the Second World War. He said that attempts to block his plans amounted to "collaboration" with Brussels. He described the law passed by Parliament to stop Britain from leaving the E.U. without a deal as the "Surrender Bill," and expelled twenty-one Conservative M.P.s who voted for it from the Party. On September 5th, Johnson answered questions about Brexit in front of an unsettling backdrop of black-uniformed police officers. When asked whether he would, if necessary, request an extension to the Brexit talks, he replied, "I'd rather be dead in a ditch."
The government amplified its preparations for a no-deal Brexit, collectively known as Operation Yellowhammer. Opposition M.P.s forced the release of an internal report warning of interruptions to the supply of fresh food, fuel, and medicine, as well as potential job losses, nursing-home closures, and clashes between fishing boats at sea. "Protests and counter-protests will take place across the UK," the report cautioned. The poor would suffer the most. The "Get Ready for Brexit" ads rolled on. "I've never experienced politics like it," Dominic Grieve, one of the purged Conservative M.P.s, told me. "It's a complete departure from U.K. norms, and I'm afraid it will leave a trail of damage."
The fury infected all sides. "We are now irreconcilably split for a generation," Roland Rudd, the chairman of the People's Vote campaign, which advocates for a new referendum, told me. "I don't pretend that reversing this madness is going to bring us together. Honestly, it won't."
Until Johnson came to power, it had been possible to believe that there was a middle way on Brexit, or to be in denial that a decisive moment would ever come. That was no longer the case. A year before the referendum, Cummings wrote a blog post outlining what the Leave campaign might look like. He quoted Otto von Bismarck: "If revolution there is to be, better to undertake it than undergo it."

Windham to host East Coast Nationals bike Event
-- Windham Mountain has announced that it will host the East Coast Nationals, fifth stop on the National Mountain Bike Series (NMBS), from July 10 - 13, 2008.
This spectacular summer racing event, sanctioned by USA Cycling, will draw competitors of all ages and abilities from all over the United States. Levels of competition increase from Beginner, Sport and Professional up to Expert. Separate awards will be presented for each age group, gender and level of ability over the course of the three day competition.
East Coast Nationals will begin on Thursday, July 10, with downhill and dual slalom inspection and training. On Friday, July 11, inspection and training continues for the downhill course, followed by qualifying races in dual slalom. All categories of races will be held on Saturday and Sunday, including cross country, downhill, super downhill, and 4X dual slalom. The professional men's and women's short track races are sure to be a big draw on Sunday afternoon.
"We're excited and love the challenge of hosting such a prestigious off-road cycling event at Windham," Special Events Manager Rick Hodge said. "I'm sure mountain bikers will find our diverse terrain and 1,600 foot vertical drop as challenging as our winter guests do in the skiing and riding season. We hope this is the beginning of a long term partnership."
"The NMBS race will be a huge event for the mountain and the region. With over 1,000 competitors traveling here with their support teams and families, the influx of racers and guests will be a great economic opportunity for Windham businesses," said Tim Woods, president and general manager of Windham Mountain. "It will take a unified effort to make the race the success it can be. We'll need the support of the community, from vendor sponsorships to volunteers. This event will be an anchor as we strive to bolster our position as a four season destination."
This event precedes the national championship a week later in Vermont. For more information regarding the East Coast Nationals mountain bike event, visit

Paul Hobbs makes wine in Argentina at Viña Cobos, sourcing Cabernet from Mendoza's Luján de Cuyo and Valle de Uco
Although Hobbs has his own Californian winery, he balances his time with consultancy work, and has played a pioneering role in the evolution of Argentina's wine industry ever since his first visit to Catena in the late '80s.
Speaking earlier this year about his experience of making wine in Argentina over the past 30 years, he said that he has "learnt a lot about how Cabernet behaves in Argentina," but stressed that there was still much to be done with this grape in the South American nation, which is, of course, best known for Malbec.
"I don't think Argentina has hit anywhere close to the high mark with Cabernet because all the attention has gone to Malbec," he commented, when addressing a group of Masters of Wine, who visited the region in February this year.
"I think Argentina should invest more in Cabernet Sauvignon, because it is the international benchmark for all the great reds of the world," he added.
Looking back, he recorded how Argentina's "international presence was launched with Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, which were then "muscled out by Malbec".
However, he forecast that Cabernet from Argentina could come back into fashion, because of its quality and relative value.
"With prices getting increasingly expensive for Cabernet [from its most famous sources, be they Napa, Bordeaux or Tuscany], people will start to look for another region – and I believe Mendoza is that region, because it can supply high quality Cabernet at affordable prices," he stated.
Continuing he said, "I think there is a need for high quality Cabernet Sauvignon and I think Argentina has the opportunity to fulfil that need."
Turning his attention to making the most of the quality potential for Cabernet in Argentina, he said that it was necessary to put particular emphasis finding cooler sites and making sure that vineyard management was scrupulous.
Comparing the grape to Malbec, he recorded that "Cabernet is a much drier grape, its hydraulics are not as good as Malbec, which is like a camel, and Cabernet doesn't handle the heat well, so you need to consider cooler climates."
He also observed that "Cabernet suffers much more from botrytis, even though Cabernet has looser clusters – Malbec is a more consistent performer in terms of resistance to disease pressure."
More generally, he said that Cabernet is a "more pernickety grape to grow at a high level to get the quality of tannin for age-ability, and you must do the work when it needs to be done; the 'do it tomorrow' attitude doesn't work with Cabernet, although Malbec is more tolerant of that."
Summing up he said, "Malbec is more like the Chardonnay of red grapes, it is disease-tolerant, hardy and relatively easy to grow."
Due to the relative ease of handling Malbec compared to Cabernet, Hobbs said that "Cabernet has thwarted us a bit in Argentina."
When asked by the drinks business to comment on what makes Cabernet from Mendoza distinctive, Hobbs said, "I think it is more like Bordeaux than California, and you can get high tannins, but also quite a lot of fruit… Cabernet planted at a high level is fruit forward, generous, and rounded, with a lot of meat on the bone: it is like a USDA Prime steak."
In support of Hobb's comments, past Cabernet Sauvignon Masters by the drinks business have picked up on excellence of Cabernet from Argentina, with many of our highest scores turning out to be for Argentine Cabernet.
Indeed, echoing Hobb's belief in its price-quality relationship, if one were to pick out the best-value wine of the 2015 Cabernet Masters, it was the Waxed Bat Reserve Cabernet from Mendoza. This wine's appealing Cabernet character achieved unanimous praise from the judges, particularly for something under a tenner (if only just), although it does contain a minor proportion of Malbec.
The success of Argentina in that year's tasting was certainly a surprise to our judges – who expected Chile, which also performed well, to be the better source of South American Cabernet.
And there were high scores for Argentine Cabernet at all prices levels – from El Esteco's £7 Cuma Organic example to Terrazas de los Andes's £40 Single Vineyard Cab.
Such results also supported comments in an article by Tim Atkin MW in db, which highlighted the underrated excellence of this grape when grown in Argentina.
Similarly, in a discussion with db in Chile, Aurelio Montes, who makes wine in Mendoza under the Kaiken brand, said Argentine Cabernet was "amazing" but "doesn't have much reputation", because, of course, the country "is labelled for Malbec".
Furthermore, Argentina's largest producer, Trapiche, is placing more emphasis on "high end Cab" due to a growing market opportunity in the US, according to the company's marketing manager, Duncan Keen.

To me Hobbs quite simply is wrong. Cabernet gows everywhere pretty well and rarely produces a bad bottle. So few places by contrast make good Malbec but Argentina does that job superbly and very affordably too. Of course Cabernet is and should continue to be grown in Argentina but Hobbs gives lots of reasons why it is ill suited in differnt respects to the Argentine climate. The grape that deserves to do better in Argentina is Syrah. Encourage moe plantings of that variety and Hobbs would have a strong aregument. As it is I can't see many Argentinians rushing out to plant loads more Cabernet at the expense of Malbec and they are dead right to stick to what they are doing.
Argentina may produce good Cabernet Sauvignons, but it also produces outstanding Cabernet Francs. I have always believed Argentina should pay more attention to the latter varietal inasmuch as it can provide a point of distinction and differentiation to the country's wine production.
I 2nd that!
Hobbs is absolutely right. The world needs more Cabernet. In fact why bother growing anything else.

"Why me? Am I being punished? Could it have been avoided?"
People who are going through divorce often ask themselves these questions, desperate for answers and relief from their emotional pain.
Though everyone's particular divorce is unique, the experience can contribute to intense feelings of paralysis, fear, anger, grief, and shame. Bluntly put, breaking up a marriage can be traumatically destabilizing.
Divorce Can Be Traumatic
Psychological trauma is defined as something shocking and painful for you. The definition is entirely subjective. If you thought it hurt, then it did.
That said, we acknowledge that it's possible to divorce someone and not experience trauma from the experience.
Perhaps the marriage itself was traumatic or abusive, and your primary feeling about the divorce is one of relief. If so, that's totally valid.
But maybe you don't want to end your marriage at all. Or maybe you know that parting ways is wisest choice, but you're deeply grieved by the decision.
If so, divorce probably qualifies as a traumatic event for you.
A Few Potentially Traumatic Elements of Divorce
There's a need for tremendous support and care for everyone involved in a divorce.
Do you know what elements of divorce can contribute to trauma? Here are just a few:
- The emotional impact of separating from a person you're close to; feeling isolated and alone
- The experience of physical aggression or violence from your partner, or fear that this will occur
- The experience of releasing your heartfelt vows; the belief that you're going back on your word or losing integrity
- The experience of relocating and letting go of the place you called home
- Helping your children to process intense emotions and perhaps being on the receiving end of a lot of anger, grief, judgment, and blame; facilitating other people's well-being when you're struggling yourself
- The social impact of suddenly feeling that friend groups are divided, or that you're not a part of the same communities as before (i.e. your church, or your ex-spouse's extended family)
- The financial impact, including loss of income and assets
- The ways in which the experience touches on old, unhealed emotional issues and triggers feelings of anger, self-loathing, or hopelessness
Even if your divorce is mutual, separating from your spouse can set off a cascade of personal pain … which can then set you up for a struggle with addiction.
How Trauma Contributes to Addiction
Trauma and addiction are closely linked. And while it's true that early life trauma plays a powerful role in the development of addiction, there's no age limit for pain. Emotional wounds need healing no matter how old you are.
What constitutes an addiction? How can you tell if you're in trouble, be it with substance abuse or compulsive behavior?
Consider what author Caroline Myss writes in her bestselling book Anatomy of the Spirit:
"In energy terms, any behavior motivated by the fear of internal growth qualifies as an addiction. Even behavior that is usually healthy – exercise or meditation, for instance – can be an addiction if it is used to avoid pain or personal insight."
So, if you're using shopping or overeating or alcohol or painkillers in order to soothe trauma, avoid your feelings and working with your emotional pain, then it qualifies as an addiction.
Your Life, Your Choice
The bad news is that the pain from divorce trauma can contribute to mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, and it can also increase your risk of substance abuse. There is a strong connection between anxiety and addiction, and depression symptoms can complicate recovery.
(National Depression Screening Day happens on October 5, so see a professional if you're concerned about this mental health condition.)
However, the good news is that you have a choice about how you act and respond to your situation.
Will you stuff your pain and disappear down the dark well of addiction, or will you do the work of healing underlying core issues and stepping into new possibilities?
Will you reframe your perception of the divorce, gently and patiently delving for its deeper meaning and underlying positive purpose in your life?
It's your choice. We hope that you open up rather than shut down, seeking the help and support you need to make it through this difficult time and come out stronger on the other side.

Bullying over the internet through social media site like Facebook and twitter as well as text messaging and online gaming is becoming a larger and larger problem. Every year it gets easier to connect to others around the world and with that is an increase in harassment, threats and cyberstalking. Each state has their own laws to try and curb the problem, but Arizona is trying to pass laws making it a class 1 misdemeanor which includes fines and/or jail time.
About 5,000 teens commit suicide every year, for all sorts of reasons and a growing number of it is from online bullying from classmates, neighbors or people that they have never even met before. It is not limited to children or teens, adults are affected by bullying as well at work or on forums and journals and even by what their child is going through. According to the Cyberbullying Research Center "Approximately 20% of the students report experiencing cyberbullying in their lifetimes", and "Adolescent girls are significantly more likely to have experienced cyberbullying in their lifetimes (25.8% vs. 16%)". Also according to the web site Puresight.com "Middle-school victims of cyberbulllying are more apt to commit suicide. The AP-MTV survey found that 8% of cyberbulllying victims and 12% of sexting victims have considered ending their own life compared to 3% of people who have not been bullied and were not involved in sexting."
Arizona is taking one of the biggest steps to try and prevent such bullying by passing a new bill outlawing it. "Right now the bill would result in a misdemeanor charge that carries a maximum $2,500 fine and six months in jail for anybody who uses a computer, smartphone or similar device to send a message to "terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend."(FoxNews) The bill is being met with criticism by opponents saying that it violates the 1st Amendment for Free speech and is worded in such a way that it leaves the bill open for interpretation and does not spell out what would be considered offensive.
The idea is there, and it is time that this type of bullying is taken more seriously. It is not kids being kids anymore or a rite of passage. Once these comments and photos reach the internet they are there to stay and have a more lasting affect than the "wait until next Monday and it will be forgotten" thought the parents grew up with.

A Case Of Unidentified Identity?..
LOL this is kinda hilarious, because of the fact that a main-stream television/movie/talk show host icon was "racially profiled" at a shopping establishment out in Zurich, Switzerland.
And what I didn't understand was that how could these people at this store not know who in the hell this particular celebrity icon is…
The person of course that I am talking about is none other then Oprah Winfrey.
So Winfrey is out shopping at this store in Zurich that she went, and saw this handbag that was very pricey and expensively looking. But it was something that had caught her eye, and she had to simply have the item.
So the rule goes like this, if it's something that you want, and you have the money you buy it right?
Well in the eyesight of the store assistant, had felt that the item was way over Winfrey's price range to buy it.
And even told Winfrey after making their mind up about selling the item to her, telling her that she would not be able to pay for the item.
I'm sure at that point, Winfrey gave the look to the assistant right after telling her the magic words… "you Wouldn't be able to afford that."
LOL telling Winfrey all of this, after the woman just got done making umm.. What about $77 million in one year.. Hahaha, yea that's rich comedy right there.
And the reason the Winfrey was out in Switzerland in the first place, was to attend a wedding that her friend was having. And her friend is Tina Turner, who is yet another African-American celebrity icon.
(I see Turner is holding a handbag in the picture ummm… Wonder how much it costs. LOL.)
But as a result of the store clerk's actions, jumping to conclusions that Winfrey had no business even to think about purchasing the $38,000 dollar handbag.
An apology was then handed to Winfrey for all of the misconception, that had transpired. Even though Winfrey did leave the store after the situation had unfolded later, when the tourist office in Zurich apparently gotten wind of all of this.
I know this has to be very embarrassing for the clerk, let alone the store that Winfrey was going to buy the handbag from. They probably wanted to make like a camel, and place their head in the sand after that LOL.
Because again I'm thinking, how in the h**l could you not recognize Oprah Winfrey of all people. Unless they don't know about her show, that mostly everybody does in most of the world.
And do they watch any type of celebrity news, because remember I did the post about Rae Dwan Chong, snapping off about Winfrey making some highly-racial remarks about her being a field n****r.
That one sparked off a lot of hate retaliation against Chong, after she relayed her comments to talk shows and the media had a field's day with that who topic..
I don't know, it seems like being Oprah Winfrey is a little bit of a challenge but of course not by far.
She is filthy rich indeed so I don't think the insulting comment that was addressed to her by the clerk or in the case of Chong's comments, I'm sure she is laughing her way to the bank.
And pulling in 77 million in a annual-year's time, I don't really think she cares haha..

YAROSLAVL, November 21. /TASS/. Global university ratings do not reflect the real state of affairs regarding Russian universities, and this is partly due to the political situation, Education Minister Olga Vasilyeva said on Monday.
"The rating is not very objective. This is a certain political story, and financial story," Vasilyeva said at the meeting with participants in the forum "Russia's future intellectual leaders."
However, even "with the existing lack of objectivity," the Moscow State University is included in the rating, while many universities, including Bauman Moscow State Technical University, are listed in subject specific ratings, she noted. "And this is absolutely right because the whole history of our education is subject specific," the minister concluded.
At the start of November, the Moscow international university rating "Three Missions of Universities" became the first international rating project headquartered in Russia. Research will include three segments: Russian universities (national rating), regional ratings (for instance, BRICS countries) and world universities (global rating).
Experts repeatedly noted that global ratings do not take into account the particularities of the Russian education system, and this prevents Russian universities from attaining higher positions in the lists.
In 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered to create a national university rating. The main task of the rating is to outline the state of affairs in all spheres of activities of a certain university to the society and universities themselves.

Tales of the Reincarnated Lord - Chapter 583
The Obstructive Andelou Merchant Guild
Time passed really quickly and soon, it was the 7th month of Year 1785.
"Your Grace, Whitelion spent three months to wipe out the bandits within Wesstwood and they are on their way to Phapsia next. What's surprising is that His Imperial Majesty started to properly supply the legion after the new year and no longer owe them any payments. Whitelion's morale is high now and they're fully confident that they'll be able to get rid of the bandits," read Jinolio from a secret report sent from the central provinces.
Lorist shook his head slightly. "Whitelion is going to have it tough soon... Sybek will not be able to take care of the bandits in Phapsia."
"Why does Your Grace think so?" asked Jinolio curiously.
"It's simple," Lorist said before he pointed at the map of the central area hanging from a wall, "Among the eleven central provinces, apart from the territories of dukes Handra, Forund and Shazin, Wesstwood is the least infested with bandits given that it's located between those three provinces. Whitelion made the correct first step and didn't let us down after we sent them there during the winter.
"Yet, they took three months for Wesstwood alone. That is also taking into account that the three dukes helped to seal off exit from the province using their respective household forces, leaving the bandits no way to escape and allowing for complete extermination. The current state of Whitelion makes it a heavy-armored legion. It doesn't have enough mobility and can't match the bandits in terms of speed. Instead, they are hugely disadvantaged in a pursuit.
"Phapsia used to be the territory of Duke Farkel, but during his resistance to our emperor's conquest, he chose to burn down the capital of his province, Freimox, and left for the Trade Union after he lost. His current whereabouts are unknown. Even though Farkel's burning of Freimox allowed our house to take advantage of the migrants, Loze had to raze down the territories of the landed nobles there to procure the food the refugees needed. Some of the nobles and knights that weren't captured are still unaccounted for.
"That's why the bandit crisis in Phapsia is the most serious. It is also the source of the farmer's revolt in the central provinces. Apart from some logistical support from Shazin, there's nothing else we can do to help Whitelion when they're in Phapsia. The immobile legion will have a long and grueling time ahead of them given how the bandits can simply outrun and evacuate the troops. I don't think the legion has any initiative in this battle at all."
"I understand now, Your Grace. So a heavy-armored infantry legion like Whitelion isn't much use for the extermination of bandits in a whole area. A highly mobile cavalry legion like Jaeger and the guard brigade would be a far better choice, right? As long as they set their sights on the bandits, there's no way they can escape."
Lorist nodded praiseworthily. "Not bad. The guard brigade is an elite force that can head the extermination of the bandits and a light cavalry unit like Jaeger can set up the defense perimeter and scout around. Whenever they find that the bandits are escaping elsewhere, they can give chase until the bandits have nowhere else to run. Either way, a defense perimeter will still have to be set up to prevent any of the bandits from slipping away and allowing the problem to spread."
Jinolio had been with Lorist for quite some time. Lorist was quite happy with his third disciple and taught him much in every facet he could. The only thing he found fault with Jinolio was his pacifism. Jinolio had always been avoidant of fighting others and he could be said to be the one with the least talent for battle among Lorist's three disciples. during the latter part of last year in the 10th month, Jinolio oly only just started learning the Dan Ocean Ki-Refining Technique from Reidy three years later than Howard.
"Your Grace, here's a report Viscount Camorra sent. The report was written by Baron Fenston, Jillin Harbor's security chief, and it states that since the 4th month of this year, nobles and trading fleets visiting the harbor have declined in number. This year's number is estimated to be less than half of last year's. Baron Fenston had conducted much research into the matter and discovered that Andalou Merchant Guild had set up a large trading point at Flowater Creek. Many of the traders stopped there instead. Baron Fenston hopes that our house will come up with a countermeasure for that."
The formation of the market at Jillin Harbor was an outlet Lorist used to sell the products and ores produced by the nobles in the northwestern area. There were 31 provinces in the Krissen Empire and the lands were vast with rich resources. Apart from the goods House Norton purchased to be resold and the ones they produced, the other goods would be transported to Morante and sold there. One such trip would double the revenue easily and around two million gold Fordes could be made per annum.
Even though he had to split half the profits with Auguslo, the million-Forde income was a reasonable amount for the house. More importantly, those imperial nobles were able to sell their goods through that channel too and earn some amount of money to be able to afford the luxury goods House Norton produced. The formation of the market at the harbor was good news for Auguslo, House Norton, the imperial nobles and the poor folk of Jillin Harbor.
But now, somebody lost to temptation and began to reach out for that delicious piece of cheese, and that was none other than the illegitimate son of Auguslo, Wecksas. What's he thinking? Does he really have that much capital to found a trading point just like that? If they were going to sell their gods at Morante as well, Lorist could write the Free Union a letter to cause them trouble and squash them like the ants they were. After all, the maritime trade route belonged to the Nortons, so Andalou would have no choice but to use the land route, which was easily much more expensive.
"Is there any word from Tarkel?" asked Lorist. Affairs concerning the interests of House Norton would be investigated by Furybear at first notice to gain a proper grasp on the situation.
"What do the reports say?"
"Yes, Your Grace. This is Sir Tarkel's investigation report," said Jinolio as he took out a thick folder.
"What does it say?"
"During the new-year celebration last year held at the imperial palace, Count Wecksas introduced the main investor of Andalou formally. It's said that he is the successor of a merchant guild from the Romon Empire that had already been exterminated. His name is Selik and he is preparing to restart his career in the Krissen Empire, so he joined hands with Count Wecksas to found Andalou Merchant Guild. But due to the count, the situation of Andalou doesn't seem optimistic. Probably as a token of apology, Count Wecksas introduced Selik to the emperor.
"According to Selik, his family offended a powerful duke in the Romon Empire and caused the downfall of the trading guild. Selik also suffered a huge injury during his escape and has two long scars on his face. So, he would often dress in a black robe and doesn't like to show his face. However, Selik's troubles weren't in vain as he managed to catch the attention of his pursuers to allow for most of his assets to be transferred out of Romon. He even managed to help a bunch of loyal subordinates to escape.
"Sir Tarkel has sent two informants to the Romon Empire to find out more about Selik, but they would take at least half a year before a conclusion can be reached. During the celebration, His Imperial Majesty showed admiration for Selik's talent and chatted with him personally for more than three hours. It's also rumored that Selik was even offered a chance to serve as well as a title. However, Selik refused His Imperial Majesty's request on grounds of his crippled and wounded body, which the emperor expressed great regret for.
"After the rainy season, Selik guided Andalou in the founding of a large trading point in Flowater Creek and promoted it aggressively. As the prices they purchased goods at are similar to the prices of Jillin Harbor, many landed nobles traded their household products to Andalou to avoid the trouble of traveling so far or to curry favor with Count Wecksas.
"In terms of funding, our informants have ascertained that Andalou received financial backing from the emperor. There is proof that His Imperial Majesty allocated around 800 thousand gold Fordes to Andalou. As for the traders mostly stopping at the trading point, our house has written a letter of objection to His Imperial Majesty, but the reply we got was that this is normal competition in trade and the imperial house has no right to meddle in it.
"The target of trading of the goods purchased from the nobles on the other hand isn't Morante. Instead, Andalou sends out trade convoys to the Trade Union. Our informants aren't sure what sort of relationship Andalou has with the Trade Union, but they've all heard Selik said one thing. 'Merchants have always strived for profit. Even an enemy or the devil himself is my friend and customer if he can bring me profits'."
Lorist furrowed his brow at the new conundrum. He didn't think that Andalou would have such a talented businessman who not only grabbed Jillin Harbor's business but also obtained Auguslo's support. Most importantly, they managed to circumvent the trade central Lorist forged in Morante and managed to form a relationship with the Trade Union. The Trade Union lacked lots of raw materials and resources, so that trade route was crucial to them. Only then would they stand a chance on growing powerful once more.
This is a truly surprising development, Lorist thought with a bitter smile, Who would expect the Krissen Empire to supply its sworn enemy, the Trade Union, with resources and raw materials? They also managed to perfectly outmaneuver our house's control. Even the new Peterson kingdom between the Trade Union and Krissen Empire won't be able to do anything about this...
With the support of the Krissen Empire, perhaps Peterson could still be able to stop the trade route to the Trade Union. However, the empire itself was supporting the use of that trade route, so Peterson could only begrudgingly accept the status quo. While he could afford to upset the Trade Union, King Peterson wouldn't dare to offend the new Krissen Empire. Even though House Norton had influence there, there was nothing that could be done. If the Trade Union partnered up with the Krissen Empire to deal with them, the newly independent Peterson kingdom would no doubt fall.
The sole goal of a merchant's actions was to make profit regardless of whether the customer was friend, foe or demon. That saying was just like the one Lorist heard in his past life: 'capitalists would even sell the rope that will be used to hang them'. Selik was a true merchant and that was the kind of thing Lorist found hard to deal with.
"Are there any suggested countermeasures in the report?" Lorist could only count on sourcing a solution from the others. Many brains were better than one after all.
Jinolio flipped to the last page of the report and shook his head. "Your Grace, Baron Fenston has suggested increasing the purchasing price for the goods by around ten percent. But Andalou raised the price to match us right after that, causing most of the traders to stop there instead of Jillin Harbor."
Lorist's eyes flashed as he paced around in the room twice. He stopped and said, "Send an eagle message to Jillin Harbor to raise the purchasing price by thirty percent. If Andalou matches up to us, raise it by 1.5 times!"
"But, Your Grace, we'd have almost no profits like that," Jinolio said, startled, "If we purchase at such a high price, the profits after we deduct manpower and transportation costs would be negligible! We can only barely break even. Your Grace, this would not just harm them, but ourselves as well! Even if Andalou gets suppressed, we would not be unscathed either!"
"Haha... That's exactly what I want: a pyrrhic victory. Think about it, Jinolio, if we raise the purchasing price and only break even, then Andalou would have to raise their prices as well. But if you take into account the higher cost for transporting on land, which they rely on, do you think they'll have any profits? I think they'll be losing money while we can at least break even."
"But what if they don't raise their prices to match ours?"
"If they don't, nobody would sell them any goods. Their trading point would fail if that's the case, Though there are some who would do barely profitable business, nobody would conduct business that lost money. They will be forced to give up on this trade route because they won't be able to make up to the emperor, their investor.
"As for our house, we will be able to continue breaking even for two to three years. The most important thing is for us to stop Andalou from trading with the Trade Union, the enemies of our house. We must always remain alert and anyone that tries to aid their recovery is going against us. That's why raising the price to match Andalou's is the only thing we can do now."
"Understood, Your Grace. I'll send the message immediately," said Jinolio.

Wandsworth man pledges 2k walk in heels
A man from Wandsworth has pledged to walk the first and last kilometre of his 50km charity night walk challenge in high heels if his fundraising target reaches £1,000.
David Allen, 28, is taking part in Walk50, an event organised by Dimbleby Cancer Care to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
David, who is the creative director of 77 Diamonds said: "To add an extra bit of a challenge I have stated that if I raise £1,000, I will do the first and last kilometres in high heels, which I am sure will be an experience having never worn them before!"
The charity was set up in 1966 in memory of broadcaster Richard Dimbleby and is based at Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals in London. It provides practical and psychological support to people living with cancer and to their families and carers. The charity is also developing a website resource to help people find care and support services nearest to them.
Walk50 takes place around London on Friday the 10th of June.

Thanks for 34 wonderful years selling books in Cambridge
After 34 years selling books in Cambridge, John has decided to retire. Anne, John, Kelly, and all the staff, would like to express their appreciation to all their loyal customers and thank everyone for their good wishes for this change in our lives.
In 1950s Quebec, French and English tolerate each other with precarious civility—much like Maggie Hughes' parents. Maggie's English-speaking father has ambitions for his daughter that don't include marriage to the poor French boy on the next farm over. But Maggie's heart is captured by Gabriel Phénix. When she becomes pregnant at fifteen, her parents force her to give baby Elodie up for adoption and get her life 'back on track'.
Elodie is raised in Quebec's impoverished orphanage system. It's a precarious enough existence that takes a tragic turn when Elodie, along with thousands of other orphans in Quebec, is declared mentally ill as the result of a new law that provides more funding to psychiatric hospitals than to orphanages. Bright and determined, Elodie withstands abysmal treatment at the nuns' hands, finally earning her freedom at seventeen, when she is thrust into an alien, often unnerving world.
Maggie, married to a businessman eager to start a family, cannot forget the daughter she was forced to abandon, and a chance reconnection with Gabriel spurs a wrenching choice. As time passes, the stories of Maggie and Elodie intertwine but never touch, until Maggie realizes she must take what she wants from life and go in search of her long-lost daughter, finally reclaiming the truth that has been denied them both.

Petition To Punish Ramos for Injuring Salah Passes Over 200,000 Signatures
A petition for football governing bodies UEFA and FIFA to 'punish Sergio Ramos for intentionally hurting Mohamed Salah' has passed 200,000 signatures.
Ramos was the subject of much vitriol during Saturday's Champions League final as he wrestled Salah to the ground and dislocated his shoulder after just half an hour.
The Liverpool forward is reported to have dislocated his shoulder, and could even miss the World Cup, and some fans have made clear they want to see the defender punished.
A petition started by user 'Mohamed Salah Abdel-Hakeem' on change.org has called for UEFA and FIFA to 'punish Sergio Ramos for intentionally hurting Mohamed Salah' during the match.
The description reads: "Sergio Ramos intentionally kept Mohamed Salah's arm under his armpit, causing dislocation of his shoulder. Not only missing the rest of the game, but also missing the FIFA World Cup 2018.
"In addition he kept acting that Liverpool players fouled him falsely, causing the referee to give Manne [sic] a yellow card he did not deserve.
"Sergio Ramos represents an awful example to future generations of football players. Instead of winning matches fairly, he uses tricks that defy the spirit of the game and fair play.
"UEFA and FIFA should take measures against Ramos and similar players, using the video recordings of matches to keep the spirit of the game."
Though the petition was only started on Saturday night, over 200,000 people had signed it by Sunday.

Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening includes a careful examination of the entire oral cavity for any kind of abnormal cell growth. This is done by a professional dentist who will check the lips, gum tissue, inside lining of the check, tongue, the palate, throat and the tonsils for any abnormality. Sometimes, a visual examination alone is not enough to identify the symptoms of oral cancer. Therefore, we may suggest a few tests to be sure that there is no danger of oral cancer. The common tests for oral cancer screening are blue dye test and dental examination with light.
Oral screening process: why it is important
Cancer of the mouth is a disease that can be treated successfully if detected early. Regular dental checkups are therefore very essential. Oral screening for cancer is reasonably priced and is a painless and simple examination
In case of a wound or a cyst of any kind in the mouth, a simple biopsy can detect the presence of abnormal cells in the wound. In 90% of cases, if followed by proper treatment, oral cancer is generally curable.
Vizilite® Oral Cancer Screening
Better screening saves lives.®
vizilite-and-tblueViziLite® TBlue® is used to help us identify, evaluate, monitor and mark abnormal oral cell lesions suspicious for pathology including precancerous and cancerous cells that may be difficult to see during a regular visual exam. It gives us the ability to spot potentially dangerous lesions in your mouth BEFORE they would even be visible to the naked eye!

Tapered optical fibers can be used for microscale biological applications, such as sensing and manipulating cells. Particle manipulation is possible through light-matter interaction that occurs outside the physical boundary of the fibers throughout the tapered section. We designed and built an electrical microfurnace that produced tapered fibers with up to 96% optical transmission in air compared to ~80% transmission with the flame fabrication. In water, these fibers lost no more than an additional 33% of optical power, compared with ~80% loss with the flame method. With this significantly improved optical transmission, an optical conveyor belt has been experimentally demonstrated in water, with microscale particles trapped and propelled along the fiber taper.

Turkey sack head coach Mircea Lucescu with immediate effect
Last Updated: 11/02/19 3:41pm
The Turkish Football Federation has sacked national team head coach Mircea Lucescu with immediate effect.
The Turkish federation released a statement saying it had reached an agreement with 73-year-old Lucescu to mutually terminate his contract.
Turkey have struggled under the Romanian coach, and were relegated to League C in the UEFA Nations League after finishing bottom of their group - they also failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
Reports in Turkey claim Senol Gunes will replace Lucescu and return as coach 15 years after his last spell in charge of the Turkish side.
Gunes, who was Turkey coach between 2002 and 2004 when the team finished third at the 2002 World Cup, will stay on as Besiktas coach until at least the end of the season.
The 66-year-old, who has won the Turkish league twice with Besiktas and also coached Trabzonspor and Bursaspor, is expected to work with the Turkey squad for matches against Albania and Moldova in late March.
