Checking in with some of Webster's newest businesses
Not long ago I got an e-newsletter from my friend Judy Merritt atCafé Sewciety Quilts
, in which she announced that her little shop was celebrating its first year anniversary. That's quite an achievement. It's tough for new small businesses to make a go of it, especially in today's economy. Witness the recent closing of A Barker's Dozen after only about 16 months.
It got me to thinking about some other young businesses in town, many of which I wrote about when they opened. I thought it might be fun to check in and see how they're doing.
First, let's go back to Café Sewciety. When Judy bought the little house on Ridge Road a little more than a year ago, it was in dire need of redecorating and remodeling. She and her husband worked tirelessly to turn its two main rooms into a charming little quilter's shop and classroom with a small but diverse selection of quilting and sewing supplies.
In the year since, Judy has quadrupled her inventory and turned the garage area into a dedicated classroom. Plus she's also upgraded her website
to offer online purchases.

A year ago September 23, Danny and Jessica Barry officially opened the doors to Barry's Old School Irish Pub and Bakery
, transforming the village's Four Corners. They transformed a corner which had been an eyesore for years and created a business which which is so much more than just an Irish a pub -- Barry's is more like a community meeting hall, where friends meet over scones, co-workers raise a Guinness together, and where onetime strangers have come to feel like family.
Barry's is still going strong, and is already planning its one-year Grand Opening anniversary in October. In this first year they have greatly expanded their menu and beer offerings, and instituted weekly special events including Wednesday night Trivia Night and a Sunday morning brunch.

Take a short stroll from Barry's down East Main Street and you'll come across Webster Hots,
now owned by Debbie and Pat Bush. Debbie and Pat didn't start their business from scratch, but they did take it over from the previous owners back in January, and have been doing very well since. This summer they solidified their position as a favorite summer meal stop when they added ice cream to their menu.
Check out the first blog I wrote about Webster Hots here

Cross the street from Webster Hots and you'll see Webster Gourmet
. The first time I wrote about Webster Gourmet was about two years ago, not long after Walter Scott opened the specialty foods shop on West Main Street. Last January I had occasion to write about it again, to announce that Walter had moved to his current location on East Main Street. The move meant more space for the fledgling business, allowing Walter to expand his inventory and regularly bring in new products. As a result, the business continues to attract new customers and is thriving in its new location.
Next time you're in the village, you might see Walter sitting outside his shop watching the world go by. Make sure to stop for a chat. The teapot is always on.

When BC's Chicken Coop
moved into Webster Village, I immediately had a new favorite chicken place.
The Chicken Coop is kind of hidden off the beaten path on South Ave., but this little restaurant has developed a loyal and steadily growing clientele in the more than two years it's been in business. Owners Brandie Rauber and Christina Wasson have significantly expanded their menu since they opened, and starting this week, will be open for lunch Wednesday-Friday.
The Chicken Coop, by the way, recently was recognized as one of Rochesterians' favorite restaurants on urbanspoon.com.

It's really all about patience, duh. I felt silly after our first "mealtime" when Chiquita cried for 10 minutes but then settled down and ate about half of her food. I realized I just had to have patience through the fit. If I'd given up after even 8 minutes (which felt REALLY long) we would have missed success!
We've been using an egg timer to set how long she has to sit at the car, and for me to have a hold on how long I have wait out the initial tantrum. I've served her food like creamy macaroni and cheese that she didn't want to eat, but if I waited long enough and didn't fight too much I could eventually get her to eat a few bites - like a half hour to an hour sometimes.
In preparation for our visit to the dietician I had been tracking her food intake with myfitnesspal.com, it's designed for adults to lose weight so the "goals" and things didn't really apply, but it allowed me to see how much fat, protein and vitamins she was getting in addition to the calorie intake. Her calorie intake has been slowly rising this week from around 500 calories to almost 1000 (the lower end of the recommended amount) and her protein jumped from 6 or 7 grams a day to an average in the mid-20s (17 grams is a minimum recommendation for her age). Until Friday when she wouldn't eat almost anything and dropped back down to around 500 calories, still getting 18 grams of protein. The next day she was back up to 800 calories, so I just have to remember that those days will just happen sometimes.
Here's some of the protein-packed food suggestions our dietician gave us that Chiquita has actually ate happily:
- Fruit flavored greek style yogurt. I got the Kroger brand and it's similar enough to regular yogurt that Chiquita didn't put up any fits, she loves it.
- Chocolate Pediasure and Pediasure Side Kicks in small amounts.
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (if Mom has the patience to wait for the hour it takes her to eat it).
- Cheese pizza
- Chocolate black bean cupcakes
For reality's sake and so anyone else in this struggle can relate, here's all the protein-packed food I've served her that she wouldn't even take a bite of (but which I haven't given up on yet!):
- Hummus
- French toast
- Scrambled eggs (which she used to love)
- Cooked quinoa
- Cream cheese and jam dip (she loves jam and the color purple so I was sure this would be a hit, not so much)

Wild Things: 10 Must Have Leopard & Cheetah Print Accessories for Fall
Hola Estrellitas! Animal prints are always in style but this Fall season, I am obsessed with Leopard and Cheetah print accessories. Keep in mind that animal prints are neutrals and they really go well with any color. I love wearing animal prints in accessories and maybe on a separate like a top or a skirt but not a head to toe animal print look. You have to be very careful because it could look like a costume,or a bit trashy instead of trendy.
When it comes to animal prints a little goes a long way. Always keep that in mind when shopping for these amazing prints. Check out a few leopard and cheetah print pieces that I am loving this Fall below. Have fun shopping!

Cosmetic dentistry is everywhere these days.
With new materials, especially dental "superglues," we're reshaping teeth, filling gaps between teeth, restoring broken teeth, replacing missing teeth, placing lighter braces. The technique is called dental bonding, and the aesthetic result is wonderful.
But it's not forever.
The American Dental Association puts the life of tooth bonding materials at about five years. This may be a conservative estimate, but there will come a time when a bond needs attention.
In general, if you treat a bonded tooth like your other teeth, you'll keep your dental restoration intact longer. Lax home care habits or the wrong foods can hasten wear and tear.
So go easy. If your tooth restoration is brand new, or years old and still flawless, keep smiling. With care, we've seen dental bonding last a long, long time.
Here are some reminders to help lengthen the life of your dental restoration.
We all suspect that how we look makes a difference in our lives. Think of the days when everything is going fine - that's a day you're feeling good and probably looking good.
In our teens, looks are everything. But as we get older, we tend to take our appearance for granted, and rely instead on our skills and professional competence to make up for any "cosmetic" imperfections.
Well, "cosmetic" is more than skin deep. We form very real biases about the people around us, even as adults, based on the simple fact of appearance. And the most critical factor in such judgments, according to copious research, is the teeth.
Yes, women are concerned about shape, as men are impressed by height. But everyone reacts the same to a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether we like it or not, people with straight white teeth are perceived to be more honest, more productive, more out-going, trusting, successful - you name it - than their counterparts with a missing tooth or broken teeth.
Your dentist has seen this psychology at work. For his or her patients, children and adults alike, cosmetic dentistry has made a tangible improvement not just in smiles, but in the quality of lives. A smile enhanced by restorative dentistry brings dramatic changes - changes more than "skin deep."
With new materials and techniques - tooth bonding, teeth bleaching, dental veneers, invisible braces - your cosmetic dentist is excited about the "magic" he or she can make. They've seen self-esteem grow before their eyes. Your dentist can help you look good, feel good, and get on with a healthy, vital life. Cosmetic dentistry? Go for it!

Concentrating your effort on one or at most a few goals at a time increases the odds of success. Focusing on success is important because willpower can grow in the long term. Like a muscle, willpower seems to become stronger with use. The idea of exercising willpower is seen in military boot camp, where recruits are trained to overcome one challenge after another.
In psychological studies, even something as simple as using your nondominant hand to brush your teeth for two weeks can increase willpower capacity. People who stick to an exercise program for two months report reducing their impulsive spending, junk food intake, alcohol use and smoking. They also study more, watch less television and do more housework. Other forms of willpower training, like money-management classes, work as well.
This is relevant for sports because one of the deliverances of common sense seems to be that participating in sports, which is one way to exercise, is or at least can be conducive to moral growth. A kid might grow in courage as she faces adversity on the soccer field and then become more courageous in other areas of her life. While some studies show that very little of this is actually going on in sports, I would speculate that this is not because the potential is not there, but rather it is because we are not doing what it takes to realize the potential of sport for moral growth. In the above quote, it looks as if increased willpower just happens. The difficulty is that a person can demonstrate incredible self-control and discipline in one area of life, such as the diet and training regimens of elite athletes, but severely lack it in other areas, such as finances or relationships. The important question is how to expand a virtue from one realm of life to other realms. Or, to put it differently, how to develop a virtue such as courage or self-control so that it permeates more and more of my life, and not just my sporting life. Perhaps the practical lesson is that I should seek to develop a virtue like self-control in my sporting life, and then turn my attention and seek to develop it in another realm or two (such as reading, or eating, or in dealing with difficult people, or not watching tv).

Takvim report that Trabzonspor are looking to make a special video to convince Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini to sign for them. Yes, you read that right.
In the past month we've covered claims in the Turkish press that Trabzonspor president Muharrem Usta is looking to sign the Manchester United player as a 50th anniversary gift to the club's fans; and now the Turkish side are looking to convince the player.
Takvim say Trabzonspor's video will include their passionate fans, a proud history, the new stadium, and they also plan to inform Fellaini of the club's ambitions. Manager Ersun Yanal is very keen on the Manchester United midfielder as he believes his physical qualities will be good for Trabzonspor in Turkey's Süper Lig next season.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seems content with Fellaini at the moment, as managers often do, but there's still the possibility the Belgian could be allowed to leave. Mourinho is likely to strengthen his midfield during the summer window, which could result in Fellaini becoming surplus to requirements.

2016 Toyota Corolla vs Honda Civic near Rockford, IL
Which New Compact Sedan Will You Choose?
Compact sedans have flooded the market, coming in all different shapes, with different features, at different prices. How can you wade through all the options? Come in to Anderson Toyota and take a test drive in the all-new 2016 Toyota Corolla. This sedan is full of all the latest technology and safety features and, because it is a Toyota, you know you will be driving a reliable car. If you aren't quite sure the Corolla is for you, then read through our 2016 Toyota Corolla vs Honda Civic near Rockford, IL, competitor comparison.
Not everything about the Toyota Corolla is about the latest in technology, it is also about the latest in style. Not only will you be able to indulge your senses in the standard and stylish interior, featuring a fluid and cluster-free dashboard, piano-black accents and available SofTex® seats, but you can also be a bit sporty if you want. With the sporty interior option, you can feel the speed of your engine through the paddle shifters and watch those needles rise on your illuminated driver gauges. It you want to be surrounded by screens and knobs distracting you as you drive, pulling your attention away from the road, then you might like the cramped cock-pit style driver's seat of the Honda Civic.
Though both sedans come with the latest technology, you might find that when it comes to choosing the 2016 Toyota Corolla vs Honda Civic near Rockford, IL, streamlined simplicity is best. The 2016 Toyota Corolla comes with the sleek Entune™ audio system. This system includes Bluetooth®+1 audio streaming, voice commands, and hands-free calling standard, as well as a safe and reliable backup camera. You have the option of adding features such as Navigation2 and App Suite3. The App Suite3 gives you access to your favorite mobile apps, while turn-by-turn navigation will make sure you get to your destination on time. The Honda Civic also comes with a center touchscreen, however, this feature is not standard, so you will only find this feature and all of its available upgrades on the EX-L trim.
When it comes to safety, you don't want to drive a car with anything less than the best. Toyota has built a reputation for producing safe and reliable vehicles, and the 2016 Toyota Corolla is not an exception. Not only does this sedan come with eight standard airbags4 and Whiplash-Injury-Lessening seats5, it also comes with the Toyota Star Safety System™. This system is only found in a Toyota and it consists of a spectacular collection of active safety features, including Traction Control and Brake Assist6, to keep you safe on the road. The Honda Civic comes with a few of these active safety features, as well as a collection of airbags, but not only does the Civic not come with Whiplash-Injury-Lessening5 seats, it does not have a system such as the Star Safety System™.
Before you drive home in the wrong compact sedan, be sure to come in to Anderson Toyota and test drive the 2016 Toyota Corolla vs Honda Civic near Rockford, IL, yourself. See why the Corolla is such a great vehicle for you.
1. Concentrating on the road should always be your first priority while driving. Do not use the hands-free phone system if it will distract you. The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Toyota is under license. A compatible Bluetooth®-enabled phone must first be paired. Phone performance depends on software, coverage and carrier.
2. Be sure to obey traffic regulations and maintain awareness of road and traffic conditions at all times. Availability and accuracy of the information provided by the navigation system is dependent upon many factors. Use common sense when relying on information provided. Services and programming subject to change. Services not available in every city or roadway; updates may be available at an additional cost from your dealer. See your Navigation System Owner's Manual for details.
3. Be sure to obey traffic regulations and maintain awareness of road and traffic conditions at all times. Apps/services vary by phone/carrier; functionality depends on many factors. Select apps use large amounts of data; you are responsible for charges. Apps and services subject to change. See toyota.com/entune for details.
4. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. See your Owner's Manual for further information/warnings.
5. Whiplash-Injury-Lessening front seats can help reduce the severity of whiplash injury in certain rear end collisions.
6. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions.

1. Don't believe everything you think
'Why did I say that to that boy at that party when I was 16?' 'My face is never going to look untired again.' 'Where's my phone?' 'I wonder what the priest looks like naked.' 'I'm not going to be able to handle this.' Just a snapshot of the thoughts that have pinged through our heads in the past two minutes. Sometimes you just have to turn around and tell your thoughts, firmly, that they are being unhelpful. We have between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts a day – some of them are going to be hellish.
2. Drastic times call for drastic pleasures
We tend to think that when things get tough we need to hunker down, bunker up, keep a low profile, take up less space and generally punish ourselves a bit. As if we needed to feel more depressed. Time for another approach. Do something only because it will feel wonderful.
3. I accept my power, I just don't know how to turn it on
It's a horrible cliché that grown-ups are technophobes who don't know what Wi-Fi stands for and panic as soon as the wheel of death appears, or take it personally when the Sky remote freezes. But sometimes when we know we've got some power, some juice, some flux capacity, it is hard to find the switch. Locate the switch, guys. And flick it. That's all we're saying. You know that you've got the power in you.
4. It's not me, it's you
Here's a radical thought: sometimes you are not the problem. Sometimes other people are the problem. The thing is, they probably know your worth, they'd just rather you didn't. It might be time to step out from behind the fear fog, and remind them who the hell they are dealing with. Be the badass you forgot to be yesterday. Apart from the overwhelming anxiety, I am pretty well-adjusted. This is the big one. On the whole, you are winning. Tell yourself daily, set one of those alarm thingies, record your own voice and remember that, yes, the panic sometimes threatens to pull you under and take you to the upside down, but on the plus side, anxious people are amazing. You are considerate, thoughtful, always prepared for the apocalypse and never, ever run out of loo paper.
5. Wishbone, backbone, funny bone
They're all we really need in our bag of coping mechanisms. A bit of faith (in God, Allah, Lakshmi, yourself, fortune, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), a bit of strength and a sense of humour, because worrying about everything going to hell in a handcart may not be fun, but at least it can be funny. Appallingly funny.
6. You are brave enough
Work out what you want. That one thing that you know will make your life hum a different tune – a baby, a house, a retirement plan, a sabbatical, a reset. The thing that could redefine you. Work out how to get it. Go for it. You have it in you. Look how far you've come already. You are magnificent.
7. If we're not in it together, we're not in it at all
Listen, people are unique, but feelings are not unique. We have chosen to assume that we are all more alike than unalike. And we've learnt that from you lot over the past two and a half years. This is the last of our Telegraph columns – but it is not the end. We are about to be reincarnated as… glad you asked. See you here next week and all will become clear. Well, as clear as these things ever are. Thank you for the music, and see you on the other side.

High Street "holding up"
The number of store closures has decreased to 14 per day
New research has revealed that the number of chain retail outlets closing on the High Street in England, Scotland and Wales is at its lowest level for seven years.
In the first six months of 2017, 2342 shops opened and there were 2564 closures, which is the equivalent to 14 closures per day.
The net difference decreased from 503 stores in the first half of 2016 to 222 stores in the first half of 2017. This represents the smallest net decline since the first half of 2013 when 209 more stores closed than opened.
The research also found that there are currently 3228 units classified as opticians on the High Street in England, Scotland and Wales. Over the past 12 months, 14 practices have closed.
PwC research, compiled by the Local Data Company, tracked 67,521 outlets operated by multiple retailers in 500 town centres across Great Britain.
Consumer markets leader at PwC, Lisa Hooker, said that it is encouraging to see the High Street holding up and even rallying in some areas.
"The twin cannons of increased online purchases and a tough economy have seen many retailers take a long, hard look at their store portfolios," she said.
"There will always be a physical presence on the High Street, but developments in technology are accelerating and impacting future staffing and operating models," Ms Hooker added.
The research also revealed that the UK's retail sector has higher online sales as a percentage of total retail sales than the US or any other country in Europe.
Computers are the most popular device for online shopping but smartphones and other mobile devices are catching up, PwC revealed.
"Retailers must continue to evolve if they are to make the most of both new digital opportunities and the country's High Streets," Ms Hooker concluded.
The East Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber fared best in England. The East Midlands saw its net change in the six months of 2016 bounce back from -21 store closures to eight in the first half of 2017, and Yorkshire and the Humber increased from -21 to 12.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT | 6 minute read
It's the simple tool that many small businesses overlook until inaccuracies start to creep into inventory records: a barcode scanner. Using a barcode scanner for small business inventory management can help with stocktaking, stock organizing, and knowing when to reorder.
From wireless barcode scanners to Bluetooth barcode scanners and everything in between, there are a lot of options to choose from. Here are some of the main considerations to make, and some of the barcode scanners we think are the best in the business.
When weighing up your options for a barcode scanner, there are a few main features to consider:
Barcode scanners typically have one of three types of scanning hardware:
The type of products you need to scan and the type of barcode you use should dictate the type of hardware you need. For example, if you use UPC codes, a laser scanner could do the trick. If you use stacked barcodes, you'll need to choose a scanner with compatible hardware. And, if you hold stock in a tough environment such as in an industrial warehouse or a manufacturing facility, it may be worth investing in an industrial barcode scanner.
Most barcode readers today don't require any specific software or drivers to be installed to send barcode information to a computer. Usually, a barcode scanner will send the data from the barcode to a computer in the same way a keyboard sends keystrokes.
However, there are specialty barcode scanner apps for computers available that can read the image of a barcode and decode it for you. TradeGecko, for example, allows you to do a stocktake using a barcode scanner (but more on that later). Most importantly, when you purchase a barcode scanner, make sure it's compatible with any software you use to manage your inventory.
Keep in mind that if you want portability from your handheld barcode scanner, you should look for one with wireless connectivity. Also, remember that not all cordless barcode scanners are created equal. Some function without being tethered to a power source but may not transmit data wirelessly to your central database. If you need to be able to capture and update data on the go, choose a Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanner.
Best budget barcode scanner: Brainydeal USB Automatic Barcode Scanner
With its ease of use and practical design, this barcode scanner is hard to look past for those who need a basic solution. It features automatic scanning with a scan rate of up to 100 scans per second.
Best wireless barcode scanner: NADAMOO Bur3003 433Mhz Wireless Barcode Scanner
If you need to scan items on the go, this cordless barcode scanner delivers solid performance both indoors and outdoors. Installation is straightforward and simply requires plugging it into the USB port of your computer.
Best USB barcode scanner: Orbit Honeywell MS7120 Barcode Reader with USB
The Orbit Honeywell POS scanner boasts lots of features and super-fast scanning speed. It produces laser light in an omnidirectional pattern, so it can work with one-dimensional barcodes and decode them at different angles.
Best Bluetooth barcode scanner: TaoTronics TT-BS030US 2-in-1 Bluetooth & Wired Barcode Scanner
This scanner has a handy 2-in-1 design that allows for wireless Bluetooth connectivity or a wired connection. It supports virtually all barcode types, including UPC/EAN, Code39, Coda Bar, ISBN, ISSN, and others.
Best industrial barcode scanner: Zebra LI3678-SR Ultra-Rugged Cordless 1D Barcode Scanner
For those who need a barcode scanner in rugged conditions or extreme temperatures such as a manufacturing facility exposed to dust or a refrigerated warehouse, this industrial barcode scanner offers durability as well as all of the features you'd expect from a quality barcode scanner.
With TradeGecko, you can do a manual stocktake or a stocktake with a barcode scanner. If you have set up barcodes for your products in TradeGecko, doing a stocktake is as simple as scanning the item on the Stocktake page, and it will automatically adjust the quantity of the product scanned. You can also switch from barcode scanning mode to manual stocktake mode by clicking on 'Manual stocktake'. This will allow you to continue doing a stocktake without losing any information.

Once the biggest country in Africa, Sudan is not your typical holiday destination – many people wouldn't even be able to point to it on a map.
However, the nation's capital Khartoum is a bustling, flashy metropolis built where the Blue and White Nile rivers meet and its tourism trade is on the up. And with good reason: there are more pyramids than Egypt (without the crowds, too), buzzing markets and souks, fascinating art exhibitions and the chance to sail along the world's longest river.
The city itself is one of the continent's safest, with the locals famed for their laid-back attitude and jovial hospitality. And with a flight time of around six hours from Qatar, it should certainly be one of your must-do short breaks.
The huge, spread-out city is actually made out of three distinct cities (Khartoum, Khartoum North or Bahri, and Omdurman). Sudan has just as much history as Ancient Egypt, except no one knows about it. Your first stop should be the National Museum of Sudan (www.sudannationalmuseum.com), which has some exceptional exhibits – and you'll pretty much have it all to yourself, especially if you're visiting in the morning. The ground floor covers the rise and fall of the kingdoms of Kerma, Kush and Meroe, and houses 3,500-year-old artefacts and statues. Upstairs you'll find several works of medieval art and murals taken from church ruins, while outside there are temples, stone tomb statues and hieroglyphics. No trip to Khartoum is complete without visiting this.
When booking your trip to the city, be sure to be there for a Friday as you'll be able to witness the incredible Sufi ritual at the Hamed al-Nil Tomb in Omdurman. Every week at around 4.30pm, a colourful local group of dancing and chanting dervishes draw large crowds with their ceremony. It's a circus-like atmosphere and starts with a procession towards the mausoleum, with the dancers carrying green banners as they chant, bob, clap and bang the drums. Their robes are a vibrant patchwork of green and red, often topped off with leopard skin, chunky beads and dreadlocks.Tourists are welcome to attend this ritual, and they often do in their droves.
As the night draws in the temperature drops and, much like in Qatar, that's when the night markets spring into life.
Stay in Omduran and head to the camel market, where the chaos of merchants and buyers, and just generally befuddled out-of-towners, is a sight to behold.
Wander the stalls of Souk Shabi – the most famous and the largest in Sudan. It's abuzz with noise, activity and colour, and a couple of hours' exploration is bound to turn up all manner of surprises. You'll be amazed as you peruse the many food, clothes, jewellery, fabric, homeware and spice stalls.
One of the best ways to get accustomed with ancient history's most celebrated stretch of water, the River Nile, is by having some tea at Nile Avenue. With the extension of Nile Avenue to Manshia complete, the stretch of road between Mak Nimir and Manshia bridges has become the place to be for Khartoum's evening life. Sit on the grass and watch the world go by, as countless tea ladies keep the hot drinks flowing faster than the nearby river.
For one of the city's best-loved "secrets", essentially just where the locals love to go, head to Fish Wok (+249 92 222 2352). Tucked behind a row of buildings, chefs serve delicious fish dishes – with some of the country's best bulti (Nile perch), served with bread and salad.
Or keep it local by heading to Al-Housh (+249 92 481 4002), where Sudanese food attracts everyone from cabbies to politicians. It's a legendary restaurant where you dine like a king, but pay like a pauper. Fish and meat is cooked over charcoal and the huge dining room is always lively.
Gad (+249 18 346 0856) sells hearty local dishes including roasted meats, shawarma, kebabs and meatballs. And it's close to the airport for anyone in need of a tasty quick-fix before flying home.
Khartoum is a Muslim city and is dry, so while the nightlife scene isn't as lively as other capital cities, there is still a young generation of students who enjoy the nightlife in the city.
Jazz Café (+249 12 200 0200) is a favourite with locals and tourists alike as it's pretty much the only live music venue in the city. You'll find local hipsters hanging out with friends and quite often strangers, as they're famed for their welcoming approach to newbies. There's an open mic night on Wednesdays and live music almost every night of the week for you to enjoy.
The Acropole (www.acropolekhartoum.com, +249 18 377 2860) is the oldest existing hotel in Khartoum, founded in 1952, and with that comes an abundance of charm. It's a run by a Greek family and all the rooms are basic, but clean and tidy. Three rooms have a large terrace and the owners are always happy to help arrange visas. It's right in the middle of the city centre and guests can enjoy free city tours on Fridays, too. Or try the Khartoum Plaza Hotel (www.khartoumplazahotel.com, +249 18 379 2986) for its central location, large rooms, good wi-fi and excellent buffet breakfast. Like the Acropole, it won't win any style awards, but it's clean and tidy enough for anyone keeping costs down. For those on a bigger budget, check in to the Corinthia Hotel Khartoum (www.corinthia.com/en/hotels/khartoum, +249 18 715 5555) where five-star luxury awaits. Spread over 18 floors, the building is a stunning architectural masterpiece, with breathtaking views over the Nile to match its beauty.
One of the easiest ways to get around is by taxi – try Sudan's Uber-style service Tirhal or Mishwar. Otherwise standard yellow taxis operate 24 hours, although be aware of reduced services on Friday. Ensure you agree the correct destination and price beforehand. For short rides, there are rickshaws, however they are not allowed in Downtown or to cross the bridge.
Qatar Airways runs daily flights from Hamad International Airport to Khartoum International Airport. Flights start from around QR3,100 for a return.

RFA Mounts Bay Returns for Atlantic Hurricane Season
RFA Mounts Bay is returning to the Caribbean islands she helped restore last autumn. With the 2018 hurricane season now upon us, the amphibious support ship is revisiting British territories in the region to help them prepare for this year's storms.
The 2017 storm season was among the worst in recent memory, with a succession of hurricanes battering the region. It prompted a major relief effort by the UK military (Operation Ruman) to assist the British citizens most affected: those in Turks and Caicos, Anguilla, Dominica and especially the British Virgin Islands.
During a month-long effort – which included a transatlantic dash by HMS Ocean on her final deployment – the lives of thousands of people were improved as British military personnel restored power and water supplies, reopened schools, delivered food and helped to maintain law and order.
Royal Marines and Army commandos from RFA Mounts Bay help out
Nine months on, in addition to her regular complement of soldiers, the Bay-class ship has a dedicated 20-strong team from 24 Commando Royal Engineers – the self-styled 'Commandos of the Caribbean,' many of them veterans of Ruman – and a Wildcat helicopter flight from 815 Naval Air Squadron embarked to offer support, advice, brute strength, know-how and kit both before and after a hurricane barrels in from the North Atlantic.
Right now, the ship is touring UK territories, holding table-top and practical exercises with island authorities and emergency services to help them plan their disaster response – and to reassure them that assistance will be readily available should a hurricane cause widespread devastation.
The port calls include Grand Turk, currently enjoying the cruise ship season. While Mounts Bay was at the small island, which is roughly one third the size of Portsmouth and home to about 3,700 people, the 102,000-tonne Carnival Sunshine (six times the size of Mounts Bay) arrived with over 2,500 holidaymakers.
Grand Turk was badly affected by Hurricane Irma last autumn; the water supply was disrupted until the marines and engineers fixed the treatment plant.
Mounts Bay has begun her reassurance visits straight after participation in the main naval exercise staged in the Caribbean each year, Tradewinds, with the emphasis in the 2018 iteration on co-ordinating an international response to a major natural disaster in the region.

Stacey M. was able to sneak out her win on Thursday night, so we're officially on Troy watch, as we head into the weekend with Friday night's schedule ahead of us.
And fortunately for Troy, Jaroslav Halak has been tapped to go for the Islanders tonight, but as much as the game is at home in Brooklyn, they are welcoming the Pittsburgh Penguins to town and they are rolling. Matt Murray is getting the call for Scott tonight, but either way, it was going to be a tough goaltending match-up.
We'll have Henrik Lundqvist versus Sergei Bobrovsky going head-to-head tonight in Columbus, in an already qualified battle. Grant's goalie will get the call against Mike's. Both teams have 10 points this week and are in that conglomerate of teams in the middle of the pack. A win either way would shift things around well.
Benson is looking for another share of the pool lead tonight, starting the night 3 points out of 1st, and he'll have Jimmy Howard in net for the Red Wings again tonight, getting plenty of value out of this pick. The Wings are in Washington and they'll get the 1st overall pick in the draft, but 35th overall in scoring, Braden Holtby, as he goes for the Capitals for Jeremy.
Brian will hope that the lead will remain his, as he will also have a goalie going tonight in Carolina. Cam Ward will give him another start, but there's also a tough test in line for his keeper, as Al Montoya and the Canadiens are in town to stir up some trouble. Brian's team continues to be red hot, leading the pool again in weekly scoring, 21 points coming into Friday night.
In the late game on Friday, the Blackhawks are in Calgary to take on the Flames. Marcin gets a start from Corey Crawford, while John S. gets the benefit of another start from Chad Johnson, who is making his third straight start for the Flames. Marcin is still hanging in 3rd place, while John trails him by 11 points, down in 5th. This would be a good game to close up that gap a little bit.

Edna pontellier wants to swim- (Click to select text)
The Awakening by, Kate Chopin Edna Pontillier Wants to Swim Edna Pontillier is a woman playing the role of the wealthy New Orleans housewife. She has a generous husband, children, financial stability, and a great deal of friends. What she also has, unfortunately, is a kind of generic happiness that is the result of such a conventional society. Edna begins to change, and like a small chip of ice breaking away from a huge iceberg, she heads out into the ocean alone. It seems that it's almost not possible for her to follow society's rules any longer, and she just stops doing it, without even making the decision to. She begins to want more. Edna craves mental exercise, personal independence, and company that she can feel equal to (unlike her husband). Edna was far ahead of her time to crave such things. This behavior was considered unacceptable and vulgar. This leaves Edna very alone in her search for what she wants in life. She thinks Robert is what she needs, but soon enough discovers he certainly is not. She makes a choice, and many events lead up to this final act of suicide. Edna realizes she is till very young and has grown numb to feelings of vitality, love, and freedom; her spirit has become nonexistent. What she discovers are things she could not ignore. The first changes occurred when she began sleeping when she pleased and spent time doing want she wanted, mostly painting or swimming. She also began to break away from her husband's oppression. He would attempt to control her by telling her what to do, as he had always done, except that now she just sort of ignored him. The truth was that her marriage had dehumanized her and she was no longer an individual. He believed she was mentally ill. She had awakened, and could not return to her previous self. Robert is the man she falls in love with. When she is with him, she is herself, and she is his equal. He is a major reason why she awakened from her "long, stupid dream." She doesn't have an affair with him though, but she does come to the point where she has a giddy, young love for him, he gives her goosebumps that make her feel alive. He leaves town, however, knowing that he loves her back, but knowing that the consequences of their love may not be worth it. He is caught in the web of society's standards, and even love cannot break it. Edna has transformed into a beautiful, young woman, and has shed her bland, shallow shell. After obsessing over Robert for a time, she achieves more independence. She goes out when she wants and doesn't stay home for visitors, which is very offensive in Creole society. While her husband is away on business, she takes an even more drastic action; she gets her own apartment. This is a very modern thing to do. In her time and place, it never occurred to any woman to do such a thing. She paints, listens to beautiful music, reads books in the garden, and learns how to enjoy moments in time. These simple things are things she has never done. This awakening sounds like a wonderful experience, but it soon goes sour. Perhaps she gets a little spoiled by her new life, or maybe she could not handle the responsibility of such a change. After Robert returns, she is ready to love him again. She thinks this there is no reason why they shouldn't be together, it was what she wanted and they loved each other. Robert might have given in too, but with the time she left to go help her friend to have the baby, he had time to think. He probably first thought about how much he loved her, but then it occurred to what would happen. People would know they were having an affair, he would get rejected, and his life could very well be ruined. This either makes him honorable or a wimp, or both. The result, however, is that he leaves, and when she returns he is not there waiting for like she expected. She was alone. She would be alone for the rest of her life, what could she do now. She could not stay in this life any longer; it was just not going to work. She went to the beach, went swimming naked for the first and last time. She swam too far out and was too tired to swim back; she drowned. After getting to know Edna Pontillier for the whole novel and watch her change, her suicide was not a shock. It was characteristic of the personality developing inside of her. It was what she felt like doing at the time, and since she had the freedom to, it was her final act of independence. She couldn't stay in the life she had now, and she didn't want to run away from it either. She gave in to the water of the ocean and to the deep sleep, two themes that were part of her life. However, this is the nap she would never awaken from.

I've seen flowers bloom where the sun doesn't shine
And I've been missing you lately
Because the day just doesn't seem complete until we've talked
And I know you're only a few minutes a way
But it seems like a few miles
Every mile for the hours we've missed
Every kilometer for the hours I've missed you
Every inch for the smile I couldn't give you
Every centimeter for the way my empty arms are reaching for you
And every millimeter for how far away the days seem till the day I can see you again

Round Table - Circle - 90 Min
This workshop will provide participants with an overview of personal data protection from domestic to a global level. With the specialisation of GDPR, it aims at investigating the current limitations and considerations of the transnational data protection law which hopes to shed light on the imminence of establishing a universal data protection framework.
Expected Outcomes:
Throughout the discussion, it aims at establishing fundamental principles for personal data protection in the cross-border context on top of the exisitng one. We would like to identify the key limitation of the exisitng personal data protection legislature, ares for growth and opportunties for cooperation between global south and global north. And most importantly, our ultimate goal is to evaluate the possibility of settling disputes on personal data protection with a universal mechanism.
Relevance to Theme:
The development of automatic data processing and the accelerating development of technology enables vast quantities of data to be transmitted within seconds across the world. In the era of globalisation, a vast quantity of personal data could be transmitted and misused easily if there is no personal data protection framework or legislation to protect data breaches.
Despite the fact that many international organizations have introduced a set of principles, guidelines and policy suggestions, personal data protection law on a national level has not been enacted widely across the globe yet. Meanwhile, the implementation of GDPR imposes stricter protection on cross-border personal data transfer which provide a realistic option for those who wish to transfer data to everywhere they like.
Some countries may resort to follow the existing data regulatory model which in turn risk creating a more fragmented global geometry for commerce and information exchange. It will affect the flows of cross-boundary data and leads to isolation and siloing of data usage within a specific country. Restrictions on these flows could cause serious disruption in important sectors of the economy, such as banking and insurance.The issue is imminent and involves not only the governments and the global community but individuals.
For this reason, this workshop hopes to build up the conversation on reviewing the existing principles set out by different institutions and international organizations. It aims to help harmonise national privacy legislation and to avoid interruptions in international flows of personal data. We hope to reach a consensus on the fundamental principles on cross-border personal data protection by reaching out to different stakeholders for their concerns of the issue, and ultimately to touch on the possibility of establishing a universal data protection framework that will hopefully serve as a reference for the future legislation and discussion.
Relevance to Internet Governance:
Data governance concerns an array of diverse and sensitive issues like protection of personal data, law enforcement and other security issues. Different governments have different models to steward their data, so as to foster better governance. These issues are interwoven with internet governance, since the internet is a vast network which is connected by standardized data communication protocols.
A vulnerable data management may result in data and privacy breaches which poses risk of crime, abuse, surveillance and social conflict at domestic or even international levels. The collection and use of network data, when not being properly regulated and stewarded, could put the cybersecurity at risk, hindering the proper functioning and use of the internet.
Above scenarios demonstrate the importance of data governance in the use of the internet, and thus are highly relevant to internet governance. In our policy questions, we focus on practical mechanism in governing personal data in cross-border context. We seek for better understanding on the capability of the global south in handling issues related to personal data governance and the impacts of doing so. Examining the different limitations and advantages that when regulating personal data privacy issues can give us insight in understanding the strengths of and the possible assistance needed for an effective stewardship in different countries. Learning about the differences and uniqueness between the global north and global south could help in constructing a universal personal data framework that could facilitate international cooperation and meaningful participation among different countries, regardless of their developmental level, in global internet governance.
The session organisers will be responsible for managing the length of each session in achieving a meaningful yet balanced discussion on issues revolving around data governance. With the aim of exploring the possibility of establishing a universal personal data protection framework that settle disputes towards personal data incidents, the session organisers will facilitate the discussion by encouraging and bringing in novel questions and opinions from both onsite participants and online participants. Opportunities will be given to participants to share their thoughts on different dimensions of data governance with our professional speakers during the round table discussion.The round-table discussion is expected to enable interactions and exchange of views between participants with diverse backgrounds and speakers representing different stakeholders that could foster understanding of the present needs, existing limitations and potential resources for a global data governance mechanism.
By clicking on the link in any electronic agenda which will be published on the IGF website or the social networking sites, participants can be directed to the meeting room. If the speaker is a remote presenter, they can still access the the meeting room to present their ideas.

GOAL 8: Decent Work and Economic GrowthGOAL 9: Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureGOAL 10: Reduced InequalitiesGOAL 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesGOAL 16: Peace, Justice and Strong InstitutionsGOAL 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Throughout the discussion, it aims at establishing fundamental principles for personal data protection in cross-border context for future reference. Convention 108+, will be the starting point of our discussion that helps us to dive in the mechanism of establishing a universal personal data protection framework. The discussion will then follow by identifying limitations on the existing protection legislature and its respective impact on the global south and global north. Eventually, we expect to evaluate the possibility of settling disputes on personal data protection with a universal mechanism.
There was broad support for the view that even though it is very strong and detailed, GDPR is too heavy and cumbersome for developing countries to adopt because of the lack of infrastructure, sensitive economies which might be negatively affected by over-regulation and lack of genuine need for such an advanced legislation. Many indicated that the voices of civil society on the issue should be raised more. Some focused more on policy challenges and opportunities, while others emphasized the role of infrastructure and the need to discuss it more. Also many supported that the legislations should be formed on local levels through regional trade agreements relying on the framework only as a guideline or reference. This will allow civil society to have more participation on the issue through local parliaments and other governmental structures.
Economic: data protection policies should be incorporated into the business models of companies. Data protection policies can be incorporated into the regional trade agreements or into consumer protection laws.
Social-cultural: introduction of e-literacy in schools' curricula as early as possible should be promoted more.
Overarching: local parliaments and governments should be the champions of the local laws, so that civil society can find their way to voice out their opinions on the legislature. The courts may use human rights regulation mechanisms where data is a cause of human rights abuse.
Convention 108+: more flexible and affordable framework compared to GDPR. It is the only legally binding, it is open to third parties. There are 55 parties already, 47 of them are members of the Council of Europe. It is not much advertised compared to GDPR. It is reaching out to Latin America and Africa, however, there is not much contact with Asian region.
ASEAN agreement: cross-border data protection as a part of trade agreements; 10 member countries, 700 million people, very diverse culturally and economically. ASEAN grows because of entrepreneurs. The governments understand the need to protect personal data and they agreed to work on economic growth.
Kenya: localized data protection law formulated by local governments with the help of Council of Europe. Kenya privacy and data protection bill was passed recently, GDPR was a good starting point for them, but there are some global standards that cannot be implemented on local level. In such a case, local parliaments and governments should be the champions of the local laws, so that civil society can find their way to voice out their opinions on the legislature.
Private sector should not shift the responsibility on civil society which does not have enough knowledge on data processing. Businesses have to provide users with technology that they can trust, they should not care about whether their data is duly protected. Computer science students should learn more about human rights if they want to work with human-centered technologies. We should strive to avoid criminalization and regulation which cannot be implemented locally. Business models should be developed with a built-in data protection mechanisms. There should be more promotion of Convention 108+.

See ya, 2008!!!
Just a short, last post of 2008.
The Project AngelTree gift dropoff went fine. A bit underwhelming for me actually. I guess I didn't know what to expect, but what I experienced wasn't it. It felt good to serve though and I'll likely do it again next year.
Christmas with the MN Landwehr clan was a blast despite the stomach bug making the rounds. I'll detail that trip tomorrow.
Memories of 2008:
1. Poconos/Philly/NY Trip with the Landwehr Clan. A Blast!
2. Canada Trip with Steve and Dave. A Blast with lots of big fish!
3. Erin's Graduation trip with Mom and Steph in Redlands, LA and Santa Barbara.
4. Victoria BC business trip
5. Kalahari with Neufangs/Landwehrs for Thanksmas
6. Growing closer to our Friends Steve & Jill, Brad & Patty
7. Our Tuesday Night Live experiences at Church. Awesome family time!
8. Crystal River Canoe trip with Ben and myself. Bonding time!
9. Stephanie's Graduation Celebration in St. Paul. Congrats Steph!
10. God's Blessings throughout the year in the day-to-day living.
Peace this New Year to All of You!

Frantic Holly-Jolliness
Me and my Niece Gray-Gray.
So it's been 3 months since I last blogged. What's a guy to do? I'm a little bit lazy, a little bit busy and my kids dominate the computer.
In this busy Christmas season, I wanted to get some of the thoughts from my head onto paper, albeit virtual paper.
Did I gripe about last winter on this blog? As I recall, I did...quite a bit.
Well, some things never change. Old man winter has struck hard with a vengance this December, and we're still two weeks from being into January. We just dug out from a 12" snowfall yesterday (for 29" in December thus far.) and are looking at another 5-7" tonight into tomorrow. Oh, and Tuesday some more. All I beg for is mercy.
Some observations from the storm yesterday. I saw a guy on Fountain Ave. using a shovel on the hood of his car to dig out. A shovel, not a broom. It makes me laugh to think that this may be the same guy that washes his car once a week in the summer. Or, maybe not. Winter seems to put a little better perspective on the unimportance of material things than summer does.
I was walking to work yesterday with my Ipod on in the eye of the storm and thought "This ain't so bad". Well, after near brushes with death from passing cars (I was walking in the road, because no one had shovelled.) and a few snowbank hurdles, about 1/2 way there I saw the bus that goes by my work's front door. I hailed it because my new thought was "Screw this noise, I'm ridin' the bus!" One can only take so much snow-white pristine beauty.
Today I'm off to deliver gifts to 3 different families who's Father is in prison. It's called Project Angeltree and it's being organized by our Church, www.elmbrook.org. Someone at Church told me it's quite a rewarding experience, and I'm looking to do something outside of my comfort zone to make someone else's Christmas more Merry. Every Year the focus of Christmas get's a little clearer to me, and while I like a gift as much as the next person, I realize it's so much more than getting.
Donna volunteered at Heart Fire's Gift Store this past week where low-income folks could buy new gifts for 10% of cost, with the proceeds going back into HeartFire ministries. She too said the experience was way more rewarding than the work that went into preparing for it. If everyone, or even 1/2 of everyone would help out at things and causes like this, imagine how much better a place the world would be.
It's off to MN for Christmas. We leave the snow of WI for the sub-zero happiness of "home". I saw the 7 day forecast calls for a HIGH temp of -1 Fahrenheit on Thursday. Wo I fled the cold-tundra called the Twin Cities 22 years ago to come to the slightly warmer and less snowy glory of WI. I guess I choked on that one. I should have kept driving...to Tennessee or so.
Am I griping about winter again? Sorry. I'm going to try and make it my New Years resolution to look at winter from a happier perspective. It will be a tough one.
I'll try and report back on how the AngelTree deliveries go. If I don't, Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!

|Вперед! Товарищи! Начнем же нашу революцию!
— Жермен Авадония
Люцифенская Революция - такое название получил вооруженный конфликт между властью Люцифении в лице Дочери Зла, и силами Сопротивления, а также их союзниками. Продолжавшаяся всего несколько недель, кровопролитная гражданская война положила конец Царствию Зла, однако предоставила соседнему королевству Марлон возможность захватить часть власти в регионе, чем Марлон и воспользовался.
Основная статья: Reign of Evil
"Это правда? Вы начали революцию, чтобы отомстить за вашего отца... убив принцессу?"
―Riliane Mouchet для Germaine
После смерти королевы Анны в ЕС 499, принцесса Рилиан преуспевала как монарх. Правительство вскоре наложило большие налоги на граждан, которые позже были усугублены плохим урожаем. По приказу принцессы, люди остались голодать, несмотря на возможности правительства по распределению продовольствия улучшить положение, используя склад королевского дворца. После, Leonhart Avadonia был убит за контрабанду пищи, пытаясь прокормить своих граждан, его приемная дочь, Жермен, сформировала сопротивление, чтобы свергнуть "дочь зла" и положить конец ее тирании.
Following the death of Queen Anne in EC 499, Princess Riliane succeed her as monarch. The government soon after imposed heavy taxes upon its citizens,[1] which was later compounded by a poor harvest sweeping throughout across the kingdom. By order of the princess, the people were left starving during the famine in spite of the government's ability to distribute food from the royal palace's storehouse.[2] After Leonhart Avadonia was assassinated for smuggling food to feed the citizens, his foster daughter, Germaine, formed a resistance bent on overthrowing "The Daughter of Evil" and ending her tyranny.[3]
После Зеленой Охоты, ярость населения к принцессе увеличивалась и постепенно выросла в создание негласного общества. После смерти своей возлюбленной, король Кайл Марлон надел маску и предложил поддержать сопротивление своими войсками. Воодушевленное маской "Karchess", сопротивление продолжало получать поддержку интеллигенции от Шартет Лэнгли, дворцовой горничной, и смогли договориться с Kилом Фризис о помощи от фирмы Freezis после того, как бизнесмен был освобожден из-под стражи правительства. Отправляя одну из своих служанок для встречи с лидерами сопротивления, чтобы подтвердить свою поддержку, у Kила был конгломеративный бизнес по отправке материалов и оружия для сопротивления.
Following the Green Hunting, the population's rage towards the princess increased and the gradually grew in membership. After the death of his beloved, King Kyle Marlon donned a mask and offered to support the Resistance with his armies. Bolstered by the masked "Karchess",[4] the resistance continued gaining support while acquiring intelligence from Chartette Langley, a palace maid, and were able to negotiate with Keel Freezis for aid from the Freezis Firm after the businessman was released from government custody. Sending one of his maids to meet with the resistance leaders to confirm his support, the Keel had his business conglomerate send supplies and weaponry to the Resistance.[5]
- "We have been oppressed by the nobles! We have been trampled on by the Princess! However, those days will now end! Today is the end of it, and the start of a new beginning! You all! Do you all have the courage to do it?"
- ―Germaine at the start of the revolution[src]
At a bar in Lucifenia, a group of Venom mercenaries sexually harassed the bar maid, causing a fight to break out. When the mercenaries attempted to retaliate, the entirety of the bar's partipants stood up in opposition and the outnumbered soldiers for hire were captured and thrown into the river.[6] Incited by Germaine Avadonia's call to arms, revolts broke out against the mercenaries in Rolled and the Lucifenian soldiers at Rollam. At the request for reinforcements, the royal palace recalled forces entrenched in Elphegort to help put down threat. Riots lasted for a week before finally being suppressed but the forces returning from Elphegort were slowed by attacks from its citizens.[7]
Battle of RollamПравить
- "The Lucifenian guards are struggling in battle against them in Rollam! Requesting reinforcements!"
- ―Lucifenian war minister[src]
The resistance army sent a division to Rollam, led by Germaine, and engaged the Lucifenian forces there.[8] During the fighting, Germaine encountered and battled Officer Riliane Mouchet.[9] As the Battle of Rollam progressed, the revolutionary leader Sekka was seriously injured and the battle turned against their favor. In the midst of the fighting, the Freezis Firm's Rollam merchant commanded the middle class citizens against the soldiers and reinforced the revolutionary army. Turning the tides in their favor, the Resistance drove back the Lucifenian army's troops and captured the city.[10]
Rekindled OppositionПравить
- "We are also struggling against Rolled!"
"Rolled—shouldn't the mercenaries be handling them? We gave them a large amount of money, and they can't even do that!"
"But we are, after all, outnumbered..."
- ―Lucifenian war minister and Prime Minister Minis[src]
As the tide began to turn in Rollam, fighting resurged in Rolled and the mercenaries were quickly outnumbered by the peasant army. Declaring a state of emergency, the royal palace demanded border forces at Retasan and Babul Desert return immediately and reinforce the contested battlegrounds and sent a messenger to Marlon, asking the ally to send aid overseas. During the second week of the conflict, revolutionary leader Minage made contact with King Thorny Elphen in Merigod and negotiated Elphegort's military support for the Resistance. Coordinating both militaries into a coalition, the Elphegort army effectively blocked off Lucifenia's forces from leaving the nation, trapping them in a prolonged conflict.[11]
The forces at Retasan, commanded by General Gaston Mouchet, and the Babul Desert began their return trip. However, two divisions of disguised Marlon soldiers, led by King Kyle, staged a night raid soon after at both camps. Caught off guard, both Lucifenian forces suffered heavy losses and the masked Kyle slew General Gaston in the fighting.[12] After defeating the emergency reinforcements, the Marlon troops reinforced the revolutionaries at Rolled against the overwhelmed Venom mercenaries. With Marlon refusal to bring in more troops, the movement started approaching the palace. The conflict in Luo Lamu also turned in favor of the Resistance and was captured by the revolutionary army. At the end of the revolution's second week, the royal palace received word that Marlon refused to send troops to aid Lucifenia.
Throughout the third week, the fighting at Rolled became increasingly intense. Pushing the Venom mercenaries back, the masked Kyle coordinated with Mark to force them into retreat. As the battle progressed, "Karchess" encountered the group's leader, Gast Venom, and engaged him in combat. Although injuring his wrist, Mark intervened before Gast could deal the final blow. Although easily killing the revolutionary clergyman, the injured Gast and his forces retreated soon after to the royal palace. With both Rolled and Rollam successfully taken, the armies converged towards the royal palace.[13]
Battle of LucifenianПравить
- "The mercenary army in Rolled has been completely defeated! Gast—the mercenary group is retreating to the palace!"
"The revolution army is approaching the palace!"
- ―Lucifenian war ministers[src]
Pressured to capture the royal palace and Princess Riliane before the Lucifenian army in Elphegort returned, the Resistance's forces plowed through the capital and easily reached the main gates. Linking up their forces, Kyle and Germaine broke through into the Heavenly Yard and engaged the final remnants of the Lucifenian soldiers still resisting. Refusing offers of mercy, the two forces clashed. Germaine coordinated her forces to form a ring around the remaining soldiers and press their attack. With the revolution army vastly outnumbering the soldiers, they began breaking their lines until Mariam Futapie joined the frey. Slaughtering the Resistance's front lines, the last of the Three Heroes rallied the soldiers to hold the line.
Chartette Langley joined the battle immediately after and created an opening for Germaine and Kyle's forces to infiltrate the palace. Engaging Mariam, the two maids went back and forth while the Resistance army entered the palace; injured and at a disadvantage, Mariam used a smoke bomb to cover her escape and fled the scene before being killed by Ney Futapie. Dividing their forces again, Germaine and Karchess' teams split. Kyle's forces quickly found Prime Minister Minis Stoup and killed him when he resisted arrest. In the Hall of Mirror, Germaine's troops engaged the royal guard protecting Princess Riliane. Battling the royal guard and Gast Venom, Germaine engaged the mercenary leader and, despite injuries to her eye, successfully killed the Demon of Asmodean.
During the fighting, Riliane swapped clothes with Allen Avadonia and escaped via her room's secret passage whilst the servant masqueraded as her.[14] Soon after, "The Daughter of Evil" was captured in the Hall of Sounds and locked thrown into the palace dungeon. With Gast and Mariam defeated, the royal guard and Venom mercenaries were thrown in disarray. The palace was captured and Lucifenian was taken, prompting the end of the fighting.[15]
Peace MeetingПравить
- "Hello everyone. I am very grateful to you all to be able to gather here today. First of all, because of the forces of the revolutionary army, we claimed victory over the war. My heartfelt congratulations."
- ―King Kyle to the assembly[src]
Five days after The Daughter of Evil was apprehended, a meeting was organized in the Hall of Sounds for all major contributers to the revolution's success. Despite a call for amnesty, it was decided that the Lucifenian soldiers imprisoned in Elphegort would be executed to appease the people. At the meeting, King Kyle spoke as a representative of Marlon and declared the nation's occupation of Lucifenia to guide the rebuilding new government. Despite protests, the attendees agreed to the proposal and concluding that Riliane would be publicly executed to appease the people. Three days later, on December 26th, EC 500, the "princess" was executed in Milanais Square in front of a tumultuous crowd, bringing the revolution to an end.[16]
Main Article: Conspiracy of Evil
Within the year, the straggling mercenaries of the disbanded Venom Mercenary Group were suppressed by Marlon soldiers. In the year that followed, Lucifenia was incorporated as part of Marlon's territories and was faced with rekindled opposition by the members of the Resistance. Demanding Germaine Avadonia's arrest, King Kyle attempted to eradicate the Resistance members and made the Witch Hunting Order. By labeling Germaine and other as witches, the rebellion members were forced to flee, taking up Retasan and Breck Mountain. In EC 503, both zones were recaptured, with the Lucifenian Resistance being once again forced to leave and flee to the Beelzenian Empire, branded as traitors and war mongerers under Germaine's banner.[17]
Civilian PerceptionПравить
- "Hahaha, it's so ironic. In the name of order and justice, you set up the banner for peace. I was right."
- ―Allen Avadonia[src]
With the tyrannical rule of Princess Riliane, the population slowly grew more opposed to the government, getting more supportive to the resistance each day. Because of Marlon's aid to relieve the food shortage on the reign, the population's rage diminished a little,[18] only to once increase once more with the Green Hunting. Along with it, many Elphegort citizens joined the cause, starting the Green War.[19] Although the Kingdom's neighbors were cautious when attacking Lucifenia because of its offensive strength, both the Kingdoms of Elphegort and Marlon provided the revolution with manpower, the latter remaining anonymous throughout the entirety of the conflict.[20]
After the end of the revolution, the resistance members were seen as heroes, with the core members of the group being invited to join the new Lucifenian government. The switch between Allen and Riliane was not discovered by the masses, and the execution of The Daughter of Evil was believed to be a success by the civilians.[21] When Kyle annexed the country to the Kingdom of Marlon, the nation posted propaganda to portray Germaine as a witch and a war mongerer who desired to start up another revolution, although its effect on the civilian population is unknown.[22]
The events concerning the revolution were later written down by Yukina Freezis, who brought to light the whole truth about the events surrounding the reign of The Daughter of Evil, the Revolution, and its aftermath. Despite this, her claims were regarded as fictitious and historians refused to credit it as an accurate account. However, the tragic tale described by Yukina became widely popular in the 10th century EC, although still unaccepted as a credible view of history.[23]
