Details eventually, maybe.
Also, let's play spot the inconsistencies, shall we? But the true question is, are they really inconsistent, or is there conspiracy afoot?

Last or second-to-last bit of a flag filler before West Africa or Chapter 8. If there will be more flag filler, it'll be neutral states.
Note: While Taiping is listed here as a member of the Anglo-sphere, and also a member of the Russo-sphere, both certainly try to keep their distance from them.
Also, Hawaii, because Oceania is the one place in the world I haven't touched on at all so far. I've even put more effort into South America.
Like in the Congo, the soldiers and officers of West Africa did not look for a fight. They were fine with their comfortable and lax positions. Both sides had a major disadvantage that they feared would be exploited. The British holdings were surrounded by the French, and the French knew that Britain could more easily reinforce their colonies than the French could. And so the front stood still.
But also like in the Congo, this changed with the arrival of Emmett Moray. Emmett Moray was only briefly in Freetown, but while there he was able to whip some of the British garrison into a fervor, and he demanded of the Commander in British Guinea that by the end of the year one should be able to walk from the Rokel to the Gambia without fear of French interference. Moray made similar demands in the Gold Coast, that the French "Free Coast" be removed.
And indeed, in April, as Moray started his march to Fort Durant, the commanders in British Guinea, Gambia, Gold Coast, and Yoruba made their attack on the French Guinea and Free Coast. The following month, the French in Senegal marched into the east end of British Gambia, French in the Ivory Coast struck inner British Guinea, and the French ally of Mossi struck into the Gold Coast. (offmap) Borno even attacked British forces on Lake Chad, although failed miserably, and Borno's small section of the lake has been captured.
Holy moly, 2 months since I posted the last one of these. I really have been quite busy doing other things haven't I? Also doesn't help that I couldn't find the source for half of the city names in West Africa I used back in What is the World 1850 and 1900.

Very nice map! One question: How did the British cut off the French in the Free Coast? Couldn't they reinforce through West Sokoto?
Dec 14, 2017 21:00:00 GMT theman7777 said:
Theoretically, yes, but that's quite a bit of journey they'd have to make. The shortest route would have supply coming to Bergerton/Bergerville, up through the Ivory Coast to the Mossi occupied parts of the Gold Coast, and then down to the Free Coast. That's quite a long path, quite a bit of it going through rain forest.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the response!

Part 8: Ice of the Baltic
Peter sat in the study of the Catherine Palace of the Tsarskoye Selo. The Brits and his officers hated that he has set up his office in the Catherine Palace, so close to the frontlines, nearly surrounded by Republican troops. Rather, they set themselves up in Narva far to the west, far from the front. Even his bravest generals would not go further than Oranienbaum. But Peter refused to rule from anywhere except for the true home of the Emperors. The only palace that could be better would be that of the Winter Palace. When Peter first returned to the palace after it had been captured to the forces that supported him, Peter couldn't help but think of how far the Brits had gone so quickly. November of 1913, he fled the Catherine Palace, and the following spring he returned, a great accomplishment. The only thing left to reclaim on the Baltic Coast was Mythical Saint Petersburg, founded by Peter the Great, his ancestor and namesake.
As Peter went over entire pillars of documents, attempting to sort out his government's deficit problem, one of his officers opened the door. He didn't even knock, Peter would have to make sure this man was demoted. The officer declared, "Your imperial majesty, the Republicans are threatening the palace!" Peter sighed. It's not like this wasn't the first time that Peter had to be forced out of the Catherine Palace because of Republicans, in fact this would be the third since his temporary exile to Sweden that he would flee from the Palace. Every single it has been a hassle. The Republicans never actually succeeded in retaking it, and so each time Peter would have fled for nothing. But, it was a necessary hassle, for if once the Republicans did capture the Catherine Palace, and Peter with it, that'd be the end of the war for him, and possibly the end for Britain as well.
Peter grabbed his cane, that Peter felt that didn't need despite his physician's insistence. Peter told the officer to grab the documents, that Peter would still need to administer his country, even if not in the Catherine Palace. He made his way through the now far too familiar path from his office to the main entrance. As he hobbled along, he requested from the officer to know where his son and heir was.
"I believe the Grand Duke is off hunting, your imperial highness," the officer answered.
"Of course he is," the Emperor grumbled. Emperor Peter had insisted that his son, also named Peter, stay with him at the Catherine Palace, or at least in the nearby Alexander Palace. Sadly, the Grand Duke Peter did not wish to rule as the Emperor did, likely because he was never meant to rule and was trained rather in the ways of military and the arts, "Do you know where he's hunting?" The Emperor asked.
The officer responded, "I don't know where exactly, but I know it's to the west, likely near Oranienbaum."
"I assume you already have men searching for him?"
"Of course. The Emperor would have my head if I let his heir die!"
Peter gave a half hearted chuckle. He continued to ask about his wife, to be assured that she would be joining him soon. leaving the palace entering the Imperial Autocart waiting for him outside. It did not take long for the Autocart to go far enough away for the Catherine Palace to leave view. Peter would have watched it disappear out of vision, but he was already so familiar with the sight that he didn't need to physically see it to know what it would look like.
Peter gazed into the forests of Ingria. He recalled his childhood with Alex and Nicky, as well as other brothers and sisters no longer with him. Even before their father came to the throne as Alexander II, these woods were little Alex's personal kingdom, a kingdom that Peter and Nicky would eventually co-rule. Peter was sure if searched hard enough, he could find the place where the brothers built their own personal kremlin.
Now, somewhere in those woods were soldiers loyal to him and loyal to Britain. Hell, there might be republicans somewhere in there. His own son was somewhere out there, doing the adult version of playing in the woods. His grandchildren, dear God he hoped they weren't playing in them right now. His autocart passed by a marching troop of soldiers only reinforced this thought.
Then seeing these troops made him think of his time as an officer during the Moslem War (or, as the Brits called it, the Third Explorers' War). It's ironic that it was during this war, a war in which Russians and Brits were fighting each other, was where Peter started to develop his Anglophilia. Indeed, Peter believed that he could trace everything that caused this war, the War of the Russian Succession, back to the Moslem War. It was there that Peter developed his Anglophilia, it was there that Nicholas developed his Francophilia, it was there that Le Toulonnais gained so much prominence that he could become Emperor of France at the expense of the Bonapartes. It was during the Moslem War that Alex, Peter, and Nicky all started to grow apart. Before then, their rivalry were those of brothers. Afterwards, their rivalries were comparable to those of Russia, Britain, and France.
Peter and his autocart finally arrived at their destination, the Palace of Oranienbaum. He left the autocart, aiding his wife in doing the same, and spent no time to find the study and get back to work.
Peter worked through the rest of the day, with the only interruption being when the palace staff arrived with dinner, gone cold waiting for Peter to arrive in the dining hall. Peter complained a little about his cold meal, but didn't bother pursuing the argument. He worked until sundown and even after.
It was only when he started to rub his eyes that Peter conceded to stopping his work. As he set down his pen for the night, certain that he would be using it again before the sun came up, Peter took a moment just to gaze out the window. As he looked, he noticed something. While his eyesight wasn't what it once was, he could definitely notice the distinctive orange glow of a campfire, out in the woods surrounding Oranienbaum. He must have stared at this orange glow for well over a minute before making the decision to investigate himself. He grabbed his cane and his winter coat headed out, only being paused momentarily by one the Imperial guard, who insisted on following and protecting him.
Peter and his guard trudged their way through the snow. The first thing Peter noticed was the return of the orange glow of the fire, followed by the faintest hints of singing flowing through the air, a marching song. As Peter and his guard got closer, he noticed it wasn't being sung in Russian, but rather in English. A few more steps, and Peter was able to pick up the exact words.
Dark continent, mysterious shroud
Enlightened continent, tall and proud
Africa with Promethian Flame
Set ablaze, who's to blame?
The Trickster, Le Tou-lon-nais!
The Eagle, from Sa-xo-nay!
The Russians, who's-to-say?
Sir Abbot, to war he will say "Aye!"
The march drowned out the sound of Peter and his guard's footsteps crunching in the snow. The two made it to the makeshift camp, full of soldiers too distracted with their song to notice two men approaching them. There were probably about twenty of them around this fire, enjoying their song. It was only when the soldiers were done singing that they noticed the two strangers watching over them. One man panicked and dove for his gun, while another man started yelling at Peter.
"Identify yourselves!" this soldier demanded.
Peter was quick to realize that these Brits didn't recognize him, and responded, "my name is Paul Romanov, I'm a cousin of Emperor Peter Romanov and a lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Russian Army. This is a member of my staff, Jacob Utkin."
The Brits calmed down, the one who had grabbed his gun lowered it. The soldier who was speaking for them spoke up again, "Apologies, sir. Can't be too cautious, after all."
Peter frowned, "You weren't exactly being that cautious. Jacob and I were here for quite a bit of time before you noticed us. If we were Republicans, quite a few of you would be dead right now," The faces of the Brits grew disappointed, as if a father were lecturing them for doing something bad, "Don't worry," Peter reassured, "Singing is not the worst thing for soldiers to do, it's a great way to maintain morale, just as long as you stay careful about it."
The leading soldier pepped up again, "Right, sir! I'm Corporal Cameron Rollins of the British Expeditionary Force," He stopped to salute, placing his right hand above his heart, "Anyways, Corporal Romanov, may I ask what you're doing here?"
Peter was taken aback a bit by being called a corporal, already forgetting the rank he had given his alias. Once he recollected himself, he replied, "I was told by my superior officer to do a thorough check of some of the soldiers in and around Oranienbaum, and I decided to do it myself. Funnily enough, my superior is another Romanov. There's far too many of us in the officer corps," The Brits laughed at this joke.
"Hey, Colonel Romanov, do you have time to just sit and have some tea?" Rollins asked.
Peter thought for a moment. His curiosity had been sated by investigating the camp, and he was tired as well, but he was getting a genuine enjoyment from being around this soldiers. Like the soldiers he saw marching earlier that day, he couldn't help but remember back to the Moslem War, but he now remembered the better parts of it. He remembered when he, too, could just relax with his subordinates and sing folk songs and marches. Peter answered, "Of course I can stay," much to his guard's annoyance.
The Brits cheered, and they quickly grabbed a kettle to start brewing some tea. Rollins unfurled his bedroll and presented it to 'Paul' as something to sit upon in place of the snow-ladened ground. 'Paul' graciously accepted this gift and sat upon it. "So, that song you were singing earlier, what is it? I've never heard of it before." Peter asked.
Another one of the soldiers responded, "Back home, we called it 'To War We Say Aye,' it's about the Explorers' Wars and the conflict we had with Le Toulonnais. Or, I suppose the conflict between Sir Abbot and Le Toulonnais."
A third soldier chimed in, "Yeah, back home we call Abbot 'Abbot the warhawk.' You know, during his entire tenure as Member of the House of Lords, back in the early days of Queen Anne II, he has yet to once vote against a war?" He spoke with growing malice in his voice.
"Abbot isn't very liked in Britain then?" Peter asked, "I would have imagined that, given his total time as Prime Minister, Abbot would have been loved."
A fourth soldier said, "He is quite loved back home. But I can tell you exactly which people hate him, and that's every parent who's lost a son, every sibling who's lost a brother, every wife who's lost a husband, every child who's lost a father to war in the last half century. My own father died fighting to claim the Swahililand in the aftermath of the Fourth Explorers' War, and one of my older brothers died in that same land putting down a rebellion. So you can bet that whenever an election comes up, my ballot will always be for the Nationals." And the other Brits cheered in agreement.
"Oh yes," Peter replied, "I, too, lost two of my brothers back during the Moslem War, the Third Explorers' War," the Brits quickly gave their condolences, before Peter continued, "But then, I have to ask, why are singing a song that seems to be rejoicing going to war?"
"It's a sarcastic song, or at least that's what I've told it's been, anyway," the fourth soldier replied, "We don't actually want to go to war, we're just making backhanded compliments to sir Abbot."
Another soldier spoke up, "How old is Abbot anyway?"
"Wasn't he born back during the days of Napoleon I?"
"I've heard he got his first taste of war back during the war with the Americans."
"No, no! He was already an old man when was fighting side by side with the Duke of Marlborough!"
"I'm sorry to interrupt," said Peter, "but I'm afraid you never told me what you're doing here yourself. Seems a bit odd for reserves to be camping out away from the city, and odder still for those that should be on the front to be this far away."
Rollins responded, "Direct orders from Lieutenant Lester Coy. We were told to guard this palace, and so we are."
"Guard the Oranienbaum?" Peter asked, "but why?"
Rollins shrugged, "I don't question orders, not my place to," He looked up and over to the palace, "looks like someone is occupying it right now, maybe we're supposed to be guarding whoever is inside." Peter looked over too, and noticed that there was still light glow coming from the office he had been using only a couple of minutes ago.
Peter thought through his next action carefully, before saying, "I've heard that that is where Emperor Peter goes when he has to retreat from the Catherine Palace in the Tsarskoye Selo. Perhaps he's there right now." Suddenly, the soldiers were whispering between themselves, speculating with one another.
Rollins replied, "Have you ever met Emperor Peter? He is your cousin after all, so I can only imagine that you would have."
"Not really, no. I have been to the Catherine and Winter Palaces, I have even met with late Emperor Alexander and the pretender Nicholas, but I have not met with Peter."
"I wonder what Peter is like," a soldier said.
"I hear he's rather cold and aloof," another said.
"Doesn't sound like someone I'd want to meet."
Peter quickly spoke up, "oh I don't know, I can't really imagine him being that terrible."
"Really?" Rollins replied, "Have you heard what happened between Peter and Emmett Moray? Apparently they had a really bad falling out. Although, to be fair to Peter, Moray isn't really well known for his careful use of words, so I suppose it could be Moray's fault." Peter thought to himself that it definitely was Moray's fault, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
After a few moments of silence, Rollins spoke up again, "Hey, maybe we can go make Emperor Peter a visit!"
"Do you really think that that'd be the best idea?" Peter responded, "I mean, he might not be as cold as we might think, but he's still an Emperor trying to reunite his country in a civil war."
"Hm, I suppose." Once more, they sat silent, looking into the fire as it danced and flickered. Peter was about to get up and leave with his guard when the tea kettle started whistling. Rollins served Peter a cup, then called over to one of his compatriots, requesting to play another song. This soldier took out a small instrument, one that Peter never encountered before, or at least that he couldn't remember encountering.
The soldier played a couple notes, and it was immediately apparent that the other Brits around him recognized the tune and they quickly stood attentively. Peter himself recognized the song, but couldn't quite place it at first. But, as the lyrics began and those Brits started to dance around the fire, he knew immediately what it was.
When Britain fi-i-irst, at Heaven's command
Aro-o-o-ose from out the a-a-a-zure main,
Arose, arose from ou-ou-ou-out the a-zure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian a-a-angels sang this strain:
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves.
The nations, no-o-o-o-ot so blest as thee,
Must i-i-i-i-in their turn, to ty-y—yrants fall,
Must in their turn, to ty-y-rants fall,
While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and e-e-e-e-nvy of them all.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!
Peter knew that were four more verses to the song, but they cut it short. He applauded the song, a song that he knew was so entwined with the current British identity and struggle against the French.
Peter sighed, got his feet, and approached Rollins, "Well, I think I must now say my goodbyes. I wish you a good a life, a good life to you all!" Rollins and his regiment wished him goodbye to 'Paul' as well, and Peter and his guard made his way back to the palace, more cheerful from this encounter.
On the other side of the Baltic, a regiment of French soldiers sit lazily in small, wooden watchtower, on the northern part of the isle of Ruegen, overlooking the southwestern Baltic Sea. It was a shoddy, short, tower, practically more of a bunker, consisting of only two rooms stacked on top of each other, neither tall enough to comfortably stand in. On a clear day, the residents of the tower could see most of the way across the Baltic to Sweden. While clearly not all of it, it was enough to spot most British ships and report back to Stralsund.
This tower was populated with three young soldiers, bundled up in blankets and coats, members of the well renowned Armée. One was a German from Thuringia. Another was a half-Zulu half-Frenchmen, son of an officer in the Armée. Although, this Zulu wasn't the most peculiar person in that tower, for that honor went to the last of the three, Napoleon Justin Bonaparte, great-grandson of the deposed Napoleon III.
"Grande Armée!" The German declared, revealing his hand of cards. While Napoleon Justin was hard at work, watching over the Baltic, with pencil, paper, and telegraph beside him, his two comarades were busy playing cards, gambling what little money they had between the two of them. It would annoy him more if it weren't for the fact that Napoleon Justin had proven, even if only to himself, that he could do all the necessary work by himself. He considered reporting his two comarades to his superiors for laziness, but decided against it, as he had time and time again.
As the German, named Konrad Ebner, was collecting his winning prize, the Zulu, named Judicael Helope (a name given to him by his French mother), started shuffling and dealing the cards as best he could with gloves hampering him. He called Napoleon Justin, "Come now, my Emperor, will you play just one hand with us? Surely you should be capable of looking over your shoulder every minute or two to check to see if there's Brits over the horizon."
Napoleon Justin thought for a moment, before reluctantly agreeing with a hefty sigh. Without getting up, he turned himself around to face his comarades. He sloppily wrote his bet on a slip of paper, explaining he would repay them once they returned to their barracks. With that he picked up the hand dealt to him.
Soon, the armies of cardboard and paper waged war on each other. It was only appropriate that in Napoleon Justin's hand was the King of Tiles, representing his thrice-great grandfather, Napoleon I. It would not take long for Konrad and Judicael to reveal their kings, Konrad with the King of Pikes, Louis the Sun King, and Judicael with the King of Hearts, Jean Le Toulonnais, the greatest traitor in French history. The last King, the King of Clovers, Philippe Auguste, remained hidden somewhere in the deck.
"So, my Emperor," started Judicael, a couple minutes in the round, "have you figured out a way to regain your throne?"
"What do you think, Judicael?" Napoleon Justin responded, annoyed, "I've been stuck on this rock for over a year now, with no sign of leaving."
"Are you really complaining?" Konrad replied, "Ruegen is one of the most beautiful lands in Germany, you should enjoy yourself."
"It's a prison, that's what this is, a prison for those with greater ambition."
"I'd imagine you'd find Heaven to be a prison, keeping you from becoming Emperor."
"Do you have no ambition, Konrad! Did you not wish to unite Thuringia under a new dynasty, the House of Ebner? How can you do that when you're stuck here on Ruegen?"
You see, my Emperor," Judicael interjected, "good things come to those who wait."
"My grandfather waited for 20 years, what good came to him? He became an adviser to a pretender. Le Toulonnais, the traitor that he is, has proven to me that fortune favors those who dare."
"How did you ever convince us to join your plot?" Judicael sighed.
"Because, Judicael, you know in your heart that a Bonaparte belongs on the French Throne!" Declared Napoleon Justin, "just as I know in my heart that you shall become one of the greatest commanders in the Armee. Just as I know that you, Konrad, shall unite Thuringia once more. In this humble bunker is a Triumvirate of Greatness. Perhaps not a triumvirate of the greatest, but greatness nonetheless. We few shall change history, and I am sure it will be for the better."
As his comarades came to remember why they had come to recognize him as the true Emperor, Napoleon Justin happened to glance out the window, noticing a faint, dark smudge across the icy Baltic. He took a closer look, completely turning himself around and placing the binoculars to his eyes. Just at the horizon, he saw a column of smoke rising high into the sky, and a closer look revealed more such columns, a clear sign of the British Navy. Napoleon Justin called for comarades to prepare their duties and man their stations. Jusicael and Konrad within a moment hurried through the hole that led to the bottom level as Napoleon Justin started to announce what to report back to Stralsund, that a British convoy had been spotted due north 20 km heading East toward Bornholm.
A message reported back soon, "ACKNOWLEDGED SENDING SQUADRON TO CONFIRM AND HARASS." The three soldiers were left confused. The French-Aligned navy in the Baltic had been sunk months ago, leaving them nothing to possibly harass with. They waited nonetheless, diligently observing and periodically reporting back. After about five minutes, they heard a faint humming buzz. They were concerned about what it was, and were prepared to evacuate in case it was artillery fire heading towards them. A couple more moments, and they came to fully recognize the sound, that of an engine. A few more moments still, and the source came into view: Five Aeros, flying in a wedge shape heading towards the Baltic. The soldiers have heard rumors recently of weaponized Aeros, the so-called "Waraero," but they never believed it. Now they witnessed five of these Waraeros fly off to where the ships were spotted in the Baltic.
The three passed the pair of binoculars between themselves, bearing witness to the attack on the British supply convoy. They witnessed the waraeros dropping what appeared to be artillery shells, which destroyed two enemy ships, without a single loss themselves. They then saw the waraeros head back to shore in smug triumph.
Napoleon Justin, Judicael, and Konrad all return to their stations. The cards from their game had mixed up in the hurry of the situation, and so a new game would have to start. Napoleon Justin refused the offer to join in another game as he peered off to the fire and smoke coming from the British convoy, on a journey now to bottom of the Baltic, plotting and scheming as his ancestors would have done a century ago.

The Palace of Sainte-Jeanne, the People's Palace, the Shining Star, the Universal Throne, the culmination of the reign of Emperor Jean of France. One part architecture, one part astronomy, one part art. This building was intended to be the ultimate piece of French Propaganda, a step up above the Statues of Liberty in New York Harbor, the Bonapartesdenkal in Kassel, Westphalia. Millions were poured into the Palace, only for Emperor Jean to die shortly after completion. Therefor, it was left to Jean's successor, Emperor Charles d'Egier, to inaugurate the palace, and he did so with perhaps the greatest jubilee ever thrown.
Emperor Charles invited people from all classes, from Kings and Popes, to Farmers and Laborers, and in a rare occurrence, even invited Emperor Alexander III of Russia and Arthur II of Britain to join (invitations they, understandably, declined). Some reports say upwards of a million people swarmed Sainte-Jeanne for this event (although these reports are likely highly exaggerated). In the Inauguration of Sainte-Jeanne, three ceremonies were held: One was a tribute to Emperor Jean, such a beloved Emperor among the lower classes; Another was the official coronation of Emperor Charles, held in the center of the Grand Ball Room; the last being the inauguration of the palace itself.
In the spirit of Emperor Jean, Charles throughout the festivities would do something he would rarely do as Emperor, and that was to speak to the everyday people, asking them about their problems to what he could to alleviate them, even if only temporarily, although it was evident that Charles simply didn't have the same optimistic charm that just radiated off of Jean. Charles would also, again in the spirit of Jean, personally aid in the clean-up of the party, at least as much as his age would allow him to.
The Palace is remarkable in it's beauty, most notably in the Sunrise, Sunset, and, to a lesser extent, Summer Halls in an attempt to capture that of the Hall of Mirrors back in Versailles, on the other side of Paris from Sainte-Jeanne. The Sunrise and Sunset Halls were both precisely built so that the outer walls will always face towards the part of the horizon from which the sun comes up or the sun goes down, respectively. Many have described the feelings of the Sunrise and Sunset in their respective halls, with the Sunrise bringing vibrant, youthful energy in the form of lively greens and yellows, that can bring cheer even to the most depressed. The Sunset brings warmth in the reds and oranges, as if standing near a hearth.

Much of early 1915 was silent. Britain quietly patrolled the Mediterranean, with French ships swiftly fleeing to any safe harbor they can get to. France did introduce the Sousmarin (or SM-Boat, or Submarine), which did damage many British boats, but could never kill before they had to flee. Rumors come down from the Baltic of France using weaponized aerocarts to attack ships, but these are surely nothing more than rumors. On the Isle of Sicily, King Vittorio flees by aerocart from Caltanissetta as French forces push further into the Island.
The most important battle in the Mediterranean in Early 1915 was the Battle of Ustica in May. Part of the British fleet was patrolling the Tyrrhenian Sea, when this fleet was surprised by large French force. The Brits were able outmaneuver the French enough for minimal damage to be inflicted on them, but it started to turn around when the rumors of French Waraeros was confirmed. Of the 9 British ships that went into the Battle of Ustica, including 2 battleships, 3 cruisers, and 4 destroyers, only 2 cruisers and one destroyer made it out, with the French having losing slightly less. The Mediterranean was contested once more.
While there were smaller skirmishes between the French and British Fleets, no grand campaign was made against one another. Then, in early 1915, the French fleet retreated back to the Mediterranean to reinforce their fleets there. The remains of the Pro-French fleet, made up mostly of Haitians with what few ships the Mexicans bothered to send, was decimated. It was not long later that the Brits landed in Port-of-Haiti, where the Haitians immediately surrender. The rest of Winter and Spring of 1915 was spent cleaning up the Lesser Antilles, with plans for the rest of the Greater Antilles in in fall of 1915.
In December of 1914, the most indirect front of the war opened up in East Africa. The French called it the Somali Front, the Brits, the Ethiopian Front, after the respective enemy in the front. The Somalis of Berbera and Mogadishew invaded Ethiopia through the Ogaden and the Gallaland, to limited success. The following March, Ethiopia responded by invading the Jabuty province, to more success, occupying the province capital (of the same name). Their march to Zeila, though, was halted. A second Somali campaign against the Ethiopians started in May, but has yet to see much success.

For months, the Ruthenian Front on the Dnieper was silent. Any attempt to start another season of Campaigning by crossing the Dnieper would be suicidal. Instead, for these quiet months, the French and Russians dug tunnels beneath the river near Kiev to get around this problem. Then in September, diggers from enemy sides came across each other accidentally. They reported back to their superiors, who in turn threw troops down the tunnels, thus beginning the battle of Kiev, or the battle of the Blood Dnieper.
After a few minutes of fighting in the tunnels, the waters of the Dnieper rumbled, the earth shook, buildings fell, and great waves hit Kiev. The tunnels had collapsed, killing thousands of soldiers instantly. The bloodiest second in human history. As the tunnels collapsed, the defensives on both sides were damaged, and in the resulting confusion both sides crossed the Dnieper in a series of attacks and counter-attacks, hoping to break the stalemate. After several days, commanders from both sides agreed to a truce to regain their bearings, finally ending the battle.
Locals had already by this point started referring to the Dnieper as the "Red-Tinted Dnieper," but this event in particular is referred much more bluntly as the Bloody Dnieper, thus the name of The Battle of the Bloody Dnieper. Some reported that the river water downstream was noticeably thicker. Upwards of a 100,000 died on both sides on the deadliest days so far in the war. The Geography of the Dnieper was changed as the river bed sank by 2 meters, changing the normally calm Kievan section of the river into rapids.
After the battle, officers on both the French and Russian sides came to the conclusion that any attempt to break the deadlock on the Dnieper would require a campaign of incalculable proportions. While the Russians started to breath a sigh of relief, the French set their eyes once more on Constantinople, the City of the World's Desire.

France starts Summer off by taking Konya, capital of the Turkish state, the other big republic in the Old World. Many Turks start to flee northward in hopes of safety from French onslaught in their land, with the goal in mind of heading to Russian Azerbaijan. But, there in Konya, the French stay still for many months, allowing for Turkish forces to reorganize, guaranteeing that the refugees would remain safe for at least a few more months still. Then, in September, after the Battle of Bloody Dnieper had come to an end, the French rapidly marched west to Constantinople, opening up a route for Turks to regain Konya and much of their previously held southern territories. The Turks then wheeled west in pursuit of the French, but the French were able to hold their ground at Nazly, confirming their positions at the western end of Anatolia.
In the south, King Saud III of the Saudi State declares war upon Hedjaz, with he and King Fahd of Syria leading the charge against them, rushing from the barren deserts of Central Arabia. In the resulting confusion, Hedjazi forces fighting the French in Palestine collapses. French forces quickly follow south in pursuit, only for King Fahd to surprise the French at Halat Ammar, securing a decisive and important victory.
In the east, King Sulayman of Iraq flees to Mosul as Persian forces take the last of the densely populated portions of his country. His army was quick to follow, and by December, the Persians had begun entering Kurdistan from Iraq. In the east, the Zagros mountains between Kurdistan and Persia allowed for enough defensive capabilities to make an invasion from there unnecessarily harsh and brutal.
Since I've already been posting characters, might as well continue the trend.
Fahd al-Salil is the current King of Syria. Known for his dynamism and his ambition, as well as his pragmatism and patience, he is currently leading Syria, rather successfully, against France, Britain, and their respective allies in the Middle East. Fahd himself is a Sunni Muslim, but Syria is a kingdom with a considerable many different religious groups, and now with the occupation of the Two Patriarchies, a large influx of Christians has been added to the Syrian State. This has more-or-less forced Fahd and the Salilid dynasty to a policy of secularism, for if they do anything to offend the non-Sunnis, they're suddenly offending well over a third of the Syrian population. Fahd has indeed, at least so far, been successful in navigating the complicated Sunni-Shia divisions and rallying the Syrian people not behind Islam or any given branch of it, but behind the Syrian Nation itself.

The Mediterranean remains a fiercely contested battleground, as France uses what Britain considers to be "dirty tactics." Britain had started to design their own Waraeros, but they would not see service until November. In the meantime, the Royal Navy was consistently reinforced, especially from the short-lived Caribbean theatre, which was already coming to a close.
French forces continued to advance into Sicily, and in October, the last of the large-scale Sicilian resistance came to an end. The next month, Joseph V of Naples was able to be slipped over to Syracuse, where he was confirmed and crowned, formally, as the one true King of Sicily. Joseph would than be trapped in Sicily while British ships made it too dangerous to return.
The most important event in the Western Mediterranean in late 1915 was in Tripoli. Since the end of the Third Explorers' War, Tripolitania had been quite discontent with their position as a French pet, and earlier in 1915, the old king, Mehmed IV, replaced by his brother Yusuf III Karamanli. So, in May the Tripolitanians sent a message to the Brits saying they were willing to switch sides. In August, British ships and limited British troops were landed in the city of Tripoli, and a treaty was signed between Yusuf and the British Admiral William Tyson (son of the infamous Arvel Tyson), securing Tripolitanian switch to the British side.
The French and many of their allies were understandably livid. Tripolitanian soldiers in the Armee were locked up in executed upon orders of Prince Galtier, who had been increasingly been given power as Emperor Charles d'Egier grew more feeble. The French weren't the only ones angry at the switch, as some of Yusuf III's brothers and cousins were in favor of the French. France is now preparing to throw off the Brits and the treacherous Yusuf from Tripoli.
Back in January of 1915, Peter Romanov, pretender to the Russian Throne, met in Helsingfors with King Eric XVI of Sweden and Swedish Prime Minister Ernst Langenberg. There, the Swedes came for one thing and one thing only: Finland. They seeked to right the wrongs done over a hundred years ago. After many months of on-and-off negotiation, Peter Romanov finally agreed to hand over Finland to the Swedes, in turn for large sum of money, additional payments in the future, and many other concessions. This agreement came to full affect on June 21st. On the same day, Eric XVI was crowned Grand Duke of Finland in Abo.
At the same time in Rimlyangrad, President Isaac Petrov was meeting with, among others, Finnish separatists. They came to an understanding, that being that Isaac Petrov and the Russian Republic will support Finnish independence if Finns fought side by side with Russians, and were willing to hold off on independence until the war was over.
June 21st was thus seen as the beginning of the Finnish struggle for independence against Sweden. Throughout late 1915, Sweden would march to secure Finland, but they would be met with stiff, unconventional resistance. The Finns would hide in the vast wilderness of their homeland, and when the Swedes go to hunt down the Finns, they would find nothing but empty camps. As the Swedes would return to base, they would be harassed from a distance the whole way back.
By Christmas of 1915, the Swedes would nominally control all of the Grand Duchy, but they still had a long way to go to rule it.

Many of the characters here were mentioned at some point, at least in the story I write with the TL, but some I haven't, namely the 2nd and 3rd child of Napoleon II and their respective descendants. At this point, I'm honestly not sure what the story of Joseph and his descendants are. Joseph likely was a general in the French military, but probably never saw much combat outside of taking down a rebellion or two. Lucien his son I'd honestly not be surprised if they headed off to America or something.
I didn't include wives or husbands in this, because I feared it would clutter up the image too much. That being said, Napoleon I ended up marrying Catherine Pavlovna Romanov, sister of Emperor Alexander I. I do have the names of many other spouses of the Bonaparte family, including Anne's (daughter of Nappie) husband Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, heir to the Danish Throne.
Note on the Illegitimate children of Napoleon III: There's many out there, no one's quite sure how many. Napoleon III himself confirmed 12, of which have been given the special family name of "de Corse," "of Corsica." Often, this name is translated into English as "Decor." Currently, there's a rather prominent American painter with the name, Henry Decor, illegitimate grandson of Napoleon III.

The Light that'll Never Die
Frankish Kings and the Goths were a menace
With their knights ravaging the land
Then a man came out of the darkness
With a maiden walking hand-and-hand
These two gave a single little promise
That they would restore the glory of Rome!
That they would go on however helpless
That they would fight underneath the Dome!
And it's true their battle rages onward
Now upon the Dnieper's crystal shore
With the Franks ever pushing Eastward
Now they hear Russia's soldiers roar!
In the light of Rome's fading flicker
We shall know the light will never die
For our Russia will never know surrender!
We will fight until God's end is nigh!
To the tune of Katyusha
Another step into the World Born at Tilsit and the War of the Russian Succession. This time, a particularly patriotic Russian pens a song glorifying Russia as the successor to Rome, taking up the torch of Justinian and Theodora of Restoring Rome. The French (and to some extent the Brits) meanwhile are cast off as the Barbarians that attempted to destroy Rome.

The Province of Cubeck, member of the Dominion of Canada and the only part of the British Empire with a French speaking majority (much to the displeasure of every good, Frenchmen-hating Anglo-Saxon in the Empire). The Brits only allow Cubeck to keep it's French language because they fear what would happen otherwise (not like the Cubeckians like their situation any less), although all laws in Cubeck have to be written in English, as well as French.
The Province of Cubeck used to be known as Quebec, but during the American War in the 1860's, the name was changed due to anti-French resentment. Soon, a large wave of name and word changes, removing and rewriting many of the more obviously French parts of the English language, most notably in removing the three most hated letters in the British Empire: Que. This culminated in Anne II changing her title from "Queen" to "Cween," favoring the more Celtic-appearing spelling over the French. Today, Que is a common derogatory term for Frenchmen and French-sympathizers.
The only part of the English-speaking world that didn't go through this change was, of course, America. But even there, some are trying to implement the reformed English in the country. It's common to notice that Pro-British writers and journalists will write with the reformed spelling. Hell, even when non-political writing, the new spelling will pop up, immediately informing the reader who the author supports. One romance novel was boycotted by Republicans over the fact that the author, a Democrat Anglophile, had written in the book in reformed English.

Australia's top medical body has declared climate change a health emergency. The Australian Medical Association has warned climate change could have severe health consequences for vulnerable people in Australia and the Pacific. "These effects are already being observed internationally and in Australia. There is no doubt that climate change is a health emergency," association president Tony Bartone said on Tuesday. "The association accepts the scientific evidence on climate change and its impact on human health and human wellbeing." Dr Bartone said climate change could increase the spread of infectious diseases and see higher mortality from heat stress. He said it would also see more injuries and deaths from severe weather events, declines in agricultural output leading to food insecurity, and higher rates of mental ill-health. Doctors are calling on the federal government to adopt several measures, including mitigation targets on carbon, and policies that promote the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The association also wants the government to promote the health benefits of addressing climate change, and establish a body to reduce carbon emissions in the healthcare sector. It estimates heat stress carries a $616 loss in productivity for every employed Australian, with significant links between exposure to high temperatures and death rates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The association has also pointed to a 13.7 per cent increase in dengue-carrying mosquitoes transmitting the disease to Australians between 1950 and 2016. Health experts have previously warned the number of events like the deadly Victorian asthma thunderstorms in 2016 could increase due to climate change Doctors' groups in America and the UK made similar declarations earlier this year. Federal Labor welcomed the association's declaration saying the coalition government was ignoring growing calls for action on climate change. Tuesday's announcement comes at the same time as the health sector's industry super fund HESTA became the first fund to be certified carbon neutral.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Thursday that his office's criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump, his company and its leadership continues, despite the resignation earlier this year of two senior prosecutors.
The team working on the investigation was going through documents, interviewing witnesses and "exploring evidence not previously explored," Mr. Bragg said in a statement. He said while the law required secrecy during the investigation, he would ultimately tell the public whether it concluded without charges or with an indictment.

Canada: Government Of Canada Publishes Revised Proposal For Greenhouse Gas Offset System
by Richard Corley , Catherine Lyons and Matthew Lakatos-Hayward
Goodmans LLP
On July 2, 2020, the federal government published a discussion paper entitled Carbon Pollution Pricing: Considerations for Protocol Development in the Federal Greenhouse Offset System (the "Proposal").
This Proposal is a significant step toward the federal government's implementation of the carbon pollution pricing scheme set out under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (the "Act").1 The Proposal provides industry with a sample framework by which the federal government will develop greenhouse gas offset protocols, clarifies which projects are eligible for offset credits, and signals the federal government's priorities in developing protocols for classes of projects. Parties wishing to comment on the Proposal are invited to provide written comments to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) by September 4, 2020.
In 2018, the federal government enacted the Act to establish a national backstop price on greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). The Act establishes two mechanisms in provinces and territories without comparable programs in place: (1) a regulatory charge on fuels, and (2) an emissions trading system known as the Output-Based Pricing System (the "OBPS").2
Under the OBPS and its associated regulation, the Output-Based Pricing System Regulation (the "Regulation"), facilities subject to the OBPS must report their annual emissions to ECCC. If the facility's emissions exceed a threshold set out in the Regulation, then the facility must: (i) remit an excess emissions charge per tonne of equivalent CO2; or (ii) remit "compliance credits", or (iii) remit some combination of the two. Compliance credits are further subdivided into three categories:
surplus credits, which are credits received by a facility that emits less than the applicable emissions limit in a given year;
offset credits, which represent GHG reductions arising from projects ancillary to the facility's operation and undertaken voluntarily by the facility to reduce or avoid GHGs from sources or increase removal by sinks; or
"recognized units", which represent offset credits issued by a province or territory that otherwise meet the criteria set out in the Regulation.
Currently, the option to reduce excess emissions through offset credits is not available to facilities because the federal government has not brought a protocol into force. In 2019, the federal government published an initial discussion paper entitled Carbon Pollution Pricing: Options for a Federal GHG Offset System (the "Discussion Paper"). This Discussion Paper set out options to establish a federal offset credit system. The Discussion Paper noted that the federal GHG offset program would operate through:
a regulation under the Act;
federal offset protocols, which will be guidelines that establish the approach for quantifying GHG reductions for a given project type; and
a public registry to allow participants to register offset projects, track and issue offset credits, and share information.
The Discussion Paper also proposed that the system should be based on the following considerations:
the proposed offset system should have Canada-wide application but prioritize provinces and territories without existing offset systems;
GHG offset projects should occur in Canada;
the proposed offset system should complement existing climate change policies by promoting GHG reduction projects in sectors such as agriculture and forestry;
the proposed offset system should be as simple and cost-effective as possible to encourage participation in the proposed system; and
the proposed offset system should build on best practices from other jurisdictions.
The Proposal's Update to the Discussion Paper
The federal government received submissions regarding its policies set out in the Discussion Paper. As discussed in more detail below, the federal government considered these public comments and published a refined road map for a federal GHG offset system in the Proposal.
In particular, the federal government refined its proposal regarding the applicability of the upcoming offset system. The Proposal clarifies that the federal GHG offset system will be national in scope, but will prioritize the development of offset projects in provinces and territories without offset programs. If a province or territory has an active protocol for a given offset project, then the federal protocol will not apply to those classes of offset projects in that province or territory. Similarly, if a province or territory subsequently publishes a protocol for an offset project, then the federal protocol will cease to apply to projects in that province or territory after a transition period of six months.
For a project in a province or territory to be exempt from the federal offset protocol, the provincial and territorial protocols must be "eligible". The Protocol states that the provincial and territorial protocol must be capable of generating recognized units. This means the federal government will use the eligibility criteria set out in the Regulation to assess provincial and territorial protocols for offset projects.
In addition, the Proposal sets out an approach to project eligibility under the federal GHG offset system. In the Discussion Paper, the federal government proposed that GHG reductions from offset projects must exceed what would have occurred from the receipt of financial incentives under a funding program. However, the Proposal now ties project eligibility to a contractual right or ownership of federal offset credits instead of whether the project proponent received a direct financial incentive.
Project proponents who receive direct financial incentives will be able to register their project if the project proponent can demonstrate that it is entitled to the GHG reductions generated by the project. In order for a proponent to demonstrate entitlement, the proponent must show that the funding agreement does not transfer the entitlement to GHG reductions to the funding program. In addition, a proponent who receives direct financial incentives for a project will not be eligible to register their project in the following two cases:
the funding program expressly restricts the project proponent's ability to participate in another offset crediting program, or
the funding program claims entitlement to some or all of the GHG reductions generated from the project.
The Proposal states that the purpose of this revised approach is to limit double counting of GHGs. Similarly, the Proposal also notes that a project will be ineligible if: (1) the project has been registered under another offset program, or (2) offset credits, including credits under the federal government's upcoming Clean Fuel Standard, have been issued for the GHG emissions reductions under another program.
Offset Protocol Development
The main thrust of the Proposal is to set out a framework by which the federal government will design and implement protocols for offset projects. In developing these protocols, the Proposal states that the federal government will consider the principles set out in ISO 14064-2: Specification with Guidance at the Project Level for Quantification, Monitoring, and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions or Removal Enhancements, including:
protocols should be designed so that the GHG source, sink, reservoir, data, and methodology should be appropriate to the intended user's needs;
protocols should include all relevant GHG emissions and removals, as well as all relevant information to support criteria and procedures;
protocols should enable meaningful comparisons of GHG related information;
protocols should allow for as accurate reporting as possible, reducing bias and uncertainty as far as is practical;
protocols should disclose sufficient and appropriate GHG-related information to allow intended users to make decisions with reasonable confidence; and
protocols should use conservative assumptions, values and procedures to ensure that GHG reductions or removal enhancements are not over-estimated.
The federal government is proposing to adopt an "umbrella" approach to develop and obtain approval for protocol development. The Proposal explains that this approach establishes a basic set of requirements in each protocol for quantification, monitoring, and verification that would likely be consistent across Canada. In doing so, the federal government is proposing that protocols remain flexible, while avoiding the need to develop protocols for separate places, practices, and applications.
In developing protocols, the Proposal has established an approach to establish baselines. A baseline scenario is the quantity of GHG reductions achieved by a federal GHG offset project, determined by comparing the GHGs in the project scenario to GHGs that would have occurred in the absence of the project. The federal government will generally apply standardized baselines for federal offset protocols, meaning that projects falling under a protocol will be subject to quantification using the same emission factors, methodologies, and assumptions. A project-specific data approach is to be discouraged.
The Proposal also sets out the process by which the federal government will develop a protocol. Once a project type has been selected, using the methodology as described in detail below, ECCC will notify interested parties through an online notice. ECCC will then establish a protocol scoping document that includes the key elements and considerations for the protocol based on stakeholder feedback and Indigenous perspectives. Finally, the federal government will draft the protocol, publish the draft protocol in the Canada Gazette for public comment, and then finalize the protocol based on public feedback.
Projects Included in the Federal GHG Offset System
The final segment of the Protocol discusses the criteria to select classes of projects for which protocols are to be developed.. ECCC advised that the concept of "additionality", in which GHG reductions must be "additional" to existing requirements, is fundamental to the selection of protocols for development, as informed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Proposal sets out the following criteria for additionality, noting that all of the criteria will be assessed to determine whether a project type will result in additional GHG reductions:
project activities that cause GHG reductions must not be required by federal, provincial, or territorial law or regulation, or must be able to achieve GHG reductions beyond those requirements;
project activities that reduce GHG sources must not be covered by federal, provincial, or territorial pricing systems;
if the activity is a new approach to reduce GHGs, then the proposed project type will be additional;
where the rate at which a technology or practice has been adopted in a sector (known as the penetration rate) is deemed a good substitute to assess additionality, and the penetration rate exceeds ECCC's proposed threshold of 40 percent, then the project activities would not be considered additional; and
supplemental barrier testing may also be conducted to determine if any financial, technical, and/or social barriers exist that could influence a project proponent's decision to carry out an offset project.
ECCC has provided a short-list of priority project types in the Proposal that the federal government will prioritize for the federal GHG offset system. The list establishes that the federal government's priorities include: (1) reducing or avoiding the use of GHG intensive refrigerants; (2) avoiding and/or reducing methane emissions from landfills by encouraging aerobic composting, anaerobic digestion, landfill methane management, and livestock manure management; (3) afforestation and reforestation projects; and (4) adopting sustainable agricultural land management activities to enhance soil carbon sequestration on agricultural lands.
ECCC states that it will proceed with finalizing the sub-set of priority protocols for development and prepare a set of draft regulations for publication in the fall of 2020. Parties wishing to comment on the Proposal can submit written comments by email to ECCC by September 4, 2020.

The Region of Imperial Strategy: Regino García, Sebastián Vidal, Mary Clemens, and the Consolidation of International Botany in the Philippines, 1858-1936
by Gutierrez, Kathleen C., Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 2020, 212; 28089293
This dissertation is the first to examine the history of botany in the Philippines under two successive colonial regimes—Spanish and U.S. (United States). I animate this study through the lives and scientific work of a Filipino illustrator, a Spanish botanist, and a U.S. plant collector. I examine their botanical careers in the Philippines, the institutional contexts in which they worked, the local and foreign actors who collaborated with them, and the science they produced. This examination demonstrates how botany developed as an internationalist endeavor, one that facilitated the political consolidation of old and emerging empires at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While this developed, so too did the ideas of Philippine proto-national and regional floristic space. I argue that regional floristic space as defined by botanists became the grounds for inter-imperial intellectual exchange and collaboration. In particular, this study interrogates how region-making through the science of botany was a key strategy deployed by both Spain and the U.S. to assert imperial dominance on the global stage.
I draw on archival research across three continents to make three broad contributions to Philippine history, the history of science, and Southeast Asia studies. First, I refuse the long-accepted periodization that overstates the intellectual divide of 1898 when the U.S. acquired the Philippine colony from Spain. By following three unstudied figures in the history of botany, I provide a more symmetrical analysis of two colonial botanies and the intellectual and institutional continuities facilitated by local Philippine actors. Doing so also enables me to bring light to botany's significance to the history of Philippine nationalism. Second, I emphasize the centrality of the archipelago, its botanists, and its plant collectors in the advancement of botany's internationalist direction, which on the whole has been overlooked in the literature on Anglo-European imperial botany. Finally, this dissertation reveals the importance of regional thinking as a strategy of empires. In the natural sciences, a scientific regionalism, I uncover, preceded the geomilitary strategy of World War II that regionally carved global space. This history offers new directions for how we might, therefore, reexamine the social scientific and political emergence of areas today like modern Southeast Asia.

What Questions Should Be Included in a Structured Interview?
Published January 23, 2023 | By admin
Questions about education, goals, skills, communication, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership, time management, and conflict resolution.
What Education Level Should Be Required for a Structured Interview?
How Can Professional Goals Be Assessed During a Structured Interview?
What Technical Skills Are Necessary to Evaluate in a Structured Interview?
How Does Communication Style Impact the Outcome of a Structured Interview?
What Problem-Solving Ability Is Needed for Successful Completion of a Structured Interview?
How Can Teamwork Capability Be Measured During a Structured Interview?
What Leadership Potential Should Be Considered When Conducting A Structured Interview?
How Important Are Time Management Skills in Achieving Positive Results From A Structured Interview?
What Conflict Resolution Strategies Should Be Used During A Structured Interview Process?
Common Mistakes And Misconceptions
What is your highest level of education?
What are your professional goals?
What technical skills do you possess?
How would you describe your communication style?
How do you approach problem-solving?
How do you work in a team environment?
What leadership qualities do you possess?
How do you manage your time?
What strategies do you use to resolve conflicts?
The education level required for a structured interview should be determined by the knowledge and skills necessary for the job. The minimum educational qualifications should be based on the academic credentials of the candidates, their relevant educational experience, and any certifications or licenses required by law. The interviewer should also consider any professional development courses taken by the applicant, any training programs completed, and any relevant work experience in lieu of formal education. Finally, the interviewer should assess the applicant's ability to understand complex concepts and any educational gaps in their resume.
During a structured interview, professional goals can be assessed by asking questions about the candidate's long-term plans, short-term ambitions, job aspirations, motivation for success, relevant experience, qualifications and skillset, ability to work in a team environment, leadership qualities, problem solving capabilities, adaptability to change, commitment to excellence, organizational fit, work ethic, and professional development. These questions can help to determine if the candidate is a good fit for the position and if their goals align with the company's objectives.
In a structured interview, it is necessary to evaluate technical skills such as the ability to troubleshoot technical issues, familiarity with databases and data structures, proficiency in web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc., experience with operating systems and networking protocols, expertise in system design and architecture, capacity for problem solving and debugging code, competence in version control systems like Git or SVN, aptitude for writing clean, efficient code, familiarity with cloud computing platforms such as AWS or Azure, understanding of security best practices, ability to work collaboratively on a team, proficiency in mobile application development, knowledge of DevOps tools and techniques, and capacity to learn new technologies quickly.
The communication style of the interviewer and the interviewee can have a significant impact on the outcome of a structured interview. Listening skills, tone of voice, body language, interpersonal dynamics, rapport building, questioning techniques, active listening, empathy and understanding, clarity of expression, ability to articulate thoughts, confidence level, ability to respond quickly, openness to feedback, and adaptability are all important factors that can influence the outcome of a structured interview. If the interviewer and the interviewee are able to effectively communicate with each other, it can create a positive atmosphere and lead to a successful outcome. On the other hand, if the communication style is ineffective, it can lead to misunderstandings and a negative outcome.
Successful completion of a structured interview requires a range of problem-solving abilities, including creative problem solving, decision making skills, the ability to identify patterns and trends, logical reasoning, resourcefulness, adaptability, attention to detail, time management skills, research capabilities, communication proficiency, the ability to work under pressure, conflict resolution abilities, organizational aptitude, and insightful questioning.
Teamwork capability can be measured during a structured interview by asking questions about the candidate's communication style, conflict resolution strategies, ability to work with diverse personalities, problem-solving approach, leadership qualities, flexibility and adaptability, respect for others' opinions, listening skills, openness to feedback, willingness to take initiative, ability to delegate tasks effectively, time management capabilities, team building abilities, motivation and enthusiasm.
When conducting a structured interview, it is important to consider the candidate's leadership potential in terms of their decision-making capabilities, conflict resolution aptitude, communication proficiency, creative problem solving abilities, visionary leadership style, ability to delegate tasks effectively, emotional intelligence and empathy, openness to feedback and criticism, self-awareness and self-management skills, adaptability in changing environments, organizational awareness, team building capacity, leadership development potential, and ability to inspire trust.
Time management skills are essential for achieving positive results from a structured interview. Setting expectations, meeting deadlines, prioritizing tasks, allocating resources efficiently, keeping track of progress, staying organized, avoiding distractions, maximizing productivity, utilizing available tools and technology, managing multiple projects simultaneously, making the most of allocated time, creating a timeline for completion, sticking to a schedule, and measuring success against goals are all important aspects of time management that can help ensure a successful structured interview.
When conducting a structured interview process, it is important to use conflict resolution strategies that promote empathy, respectful communication, and collaborative problem solving. This includes acknowledging feelings and perspectives, clarifying expectations, establishing ground rules for discussion, identifying underlying issues, brainstorming solutions together, negotiating a compromise or agreement, focusing on interests rather than positions, exploring options for mutual gain, developing action plans to resolve the conflict, creating an environment of trust and safety, and following up to ensure resolution.
Mistake: Structured interviews should only include questions about the candidate's experience and qualifications.
Correct Viewpoint: While it is important to ask questions related to a candidate's experience and qualifications, structured interviews should also include open-ended questions that allow the interviewer to gain insight into how the candidate thinks, problem solves, and communicates.
Mistake: All interviewers should use the same set of questions for each applicant.
Correct Viewpoint: While there may be some overlap in the types of questions asked during a structured interview, different interviewers can tailor their approach based on their own preferences or areas of expertise. This allows them to get more specific information from candidates that could help inform their hiring decision.

In 1972, a Trappist Monastery was established in Barangay San Miguel and it is open to visitors. Sorry, but they don't have a brewery, however, the monks make dried mango, jams, jellies and souvenirs, all for sale to the public. You might want to check out their ginger brew!
For those who are looking for actual beach resorts, hotels, shopping centers, excellent restaurants and the nightlife on Guimaras Island, you will need to make the trip from the other side of the island. From Iloilo City, it is only a 20 minute boat ride to Jordan, Guimaras. There are restaurants in Jordan that are famous for their mango pizza. Mango ice cream is a favorite during a sultry day on the island.
Guimaras is one of the islands of the Philippines that is viewed as mysterious among many locals in our area. Guimaras is supposedly inhabited by aswangs! In Philippine folklore, an aswang is a mythical vampire-like person, who can change into animals, most notably a pig. Others believe that an aswang can change into a dog, cat or a bird. It seems that most of the islands where the aswang is often talked about are found in the Western Visayas. I can assure you that the aswang topic will come up if you spend any length of time on the islands of Guimaras, Negros, Panay and Bohol. During all the time I have spent in the Philippines during the last 27 years, I have never seen an aswang!
There are also two sides to Guimaras Island. The side of the island facing Negros Occidental is very rural and rustic, while the side facing Iloilo has a number of nice resorts, hotels, restaurants and it is easy getting around. Hopefully, you will put Guimaras Island on your destination list in the Philippines.
Thank you for your comment, Rich. I am glad you found Guimaras interesting.
Guimaras is a beautiful place ! I have family there or I should say my wife has family there. LOL They own a Mango Plantation that exports mangoes to the United States. My wife also have family in Iloilo. She was born and raised there. We will be retiring in a few years and that are is most likely where we will be settling. Plenty of things to do but still it don't have the hurry, hurry of places like Manila. I highy recommend the area..
Thanks for sharing your experiences about Guimaras. I don't think any location in the Western Visayas has the Manila attitude, as it is always much more laid back, which is the way I like it! Life is short so why hurry through it? Take your time and enjoy life every second.
Am currently looking at a beach property in Jordan. Will build a house there if I proceed. I am Canadian with an Ilongo younger wife. Any comments you have would be appreciated.
Hi Gary. Thank you for sharing your Guimaras visit. The Trappist Monastery there was begun by a group of Trappists from Our Lady of Gethsemane Abbey in the USA – that's the monastery where the monk-writer-poet, Thomas Merton, stayed and wrote his famous books. When I visited it in 1972, it was just newly-constructed, its small chapel made of bamboo. The mango trees that are now bearing fruits for their sustenance were just knee-high at the time. Brother Athanasius, its first Abbot or Superior, was a contemporary of Thomas Merton. I heard that the kindly Abbot even chose to be buried there when he passed away.
Thanks for sharing that bit of history about the Trappist Monastery on Guimaras Island. Very interesting! Other than mango products, I heard ginger beer was produced there at the monastery. It would be nice if they ever produce beer or ale but that may not be on their agenda, as in Europe.
