The Nokia 8 V 5G UW is HMD's first high-end phone sold by Verizon
Basically the Nokia 8.3 5G but with mmWave
By Chaim Gartenberg / @cgartenberg
Nov 9, 2020, 2:00 PM UTC |
HMD's Nokia is launching the $699 Nokia 8 V 5G UW, the company's second 5G device. In a major shift for HMD, it'll be sold through Verizon, making the Nokia 8 V HMD's first high-end device that'll be available through a US carrier.
Despite the new branding, though, the Nokia 8 V is effectively a Verizon-branded version of HMD's first 5G phone, the Nokia 8.3 5G, that it announced in March. The Nokia 8.3 5G finally launched in the US in September as an unlocked device for the same $699 price, although there's a key difference between it and the Verizon model: the Nokia 8.3 5G only supports sub-6GHz 5G, while the Nokia 8 V 5G UW supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G networks.
Nokia 8.3 5G announced alongside three more affordable handsets
As for the actual Nokia 8 V, it visually appears identical to the 8.3 5G, although it comes in a gray color scheme instead of a blue one. Otherwise, expect the same 6.81-inch display (with a hole-punch camera and a Nokia-branded chin on the bottom) and a prominent quad-camera array on its rear, with a main 64-megapixel sensor, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
Inside, you'll find a Snapdragon 765G processor with an integrated 5G modem, a 4,500mAh battery, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage — those last two numbers mark a downgrade from the unlocked Nokia 8.3 5G, which offers 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
Rounding things out are a power button (with an integrated fingerprint sensor), a customizable voice assistant button, USB-C for charging, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It'll ship with Android 10, although HMD promises that an Android 11 update is already in the works. Absent are any wireless charging features or waterproofing.
The company has been building toward this moment for some time, beginning in the beginning of 2019 when HMD's Nokia started to sell phones through carriers again. Until now, though, those phones have skewed toward the low end of the hardware spectrum, but the Nokia 8 V promises to offer a more premium device.
The question is whether HMD's $699 device will be able to muster sufficient competition to other major devices from more established premium brands when customers are making their choice of a new phone at a Verizon store.
The $700 price point is a crowded one, with a lot of great phones like the $699 Pixel 5 (and its top-tier camera), the $699.99 Galaxy S20 FE and its high-end features, or the $729 iPhone 12 mini (which offers flagship features at a matching $699 price when purchased through a carrier like Verizon) — all of which offer 5G and similar (if not better) features than HMD's option.

Q: Custom User Registration Form not showing I need help to show my own created user registration form. Whatever I do, WP 5.9 is always showing the default registration form.
I have used many different plugins to create a customer registration form and followed all steps described in the plugins. Whatever I do, WP always shows the default registration form. Is there a way/setting to replace the default form?
Thank you so much,
Hump

A: Presuming you have your custom registration form set up to its own URL, such as /custom-register-page/ or something like it, then you can use the following code to change the register URL on the default WP login page:
add_filter( 'register_url', 'update_register_url' );
function update_register_url( $url ) {
    if( is_admin() ) {
        return $url;
    }
    return "/custom-register-page/";
}

Add this code to your template's functions.php file, if that makes sense, or create a plugin to use this code. Make sure to update the code to use your custom register page URL.

Small Business Trends: That's cool! I mean the month to month thing is definitely a significant impact on small businesses, but what other significant changes are you doing as this new entity within Salesforce?
Meredith Schmidt: Bringing our product together in a different way. What I mean by that is we have clouds. We have Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, but if you're a small business you don't care about a sales cloud or a service cloud. You care about a job to get done, I just need to do this. That's really the way we're looking at; this product is a consumer interface to an enterprise backbone. Which we are combining sales and service functionality. In small business we call it support, not service. They hear a term call center, and think that's not relevant to me. And it isn't.
So it's changing the way we talk to our small business, but also looking at that from a product perspective. The product we're offering you, Salesforce Essentials, does everything for a single price. You don't have to figure out what cloud do I need. You don't have to figure out which one to choose. We're constantly adding to that product and we're not charging more as we add more. We're saying what is the functionality a small business needs to do their job, and how can we help them facilitate that. I think that's a really different approach.
Small Business Trends: There are all sorts of technologies that people are talking about — AI, artificial intelligence, being one of them. How does your new group and your role help small business customers better understand? And not just understand but better help them implement and enable them to take advantage of some of these technologies, specifically something like AI?
Meredith Schmidt: I think what's interesting is kind of two fold, how I'm using AI to get data to help the customers use the product better. Part of that AI is knowing that a customer hasn't used a certain feature, and that certain feature happens to drive sales closes up 36% on average, something I know.
But a customer may not have found that feature, or may not understand what it is. At the volumes we're talking about for small business, we can't call every customer, so how do I use AI and data to actually help our customers adopt the product and get the benefit they can see and actually drive their business with. I think that's one aspect of it is actually giving real time information to a customer that's relevant to them, it's not generic. It's personalized because we can help you on your journey.
Right now, you can't do that but with brute force. It's about using us, and us personally using AI to be smarter about how we interact with our customers and how we bring them the right enablement to use those features.
Now when you come to AI for their use and how we're building it, this is what's amazing that gets me so excited about what we're doing with Salesforce Essentials, not only are we making the product easier to use and this benefits all of our customers no matter what size you are, but we're starting with small business and learning there, but we also get the benefit of being part of Salesforce.
We get the innovation, basically I'll call it for free, from Salesforce. The innovation we're coming out with around artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, all of that that's coming out for our enterprise customers who are asking for these features; or we actually have some labs somewhere underground in San Francisco I think that's like locked away scientists figuring stuff out, and they're coming up with all these amazing things. It's available to everybody. It's agnostic of the size of your company.
My job is to make sure as we come out with those features making it easy to consume and understandable by our small business. It should not be scary. When I think about simple things like Einstein Activity Capture; it's reading your emails, it's helping create tasks, telling you when to call your customer, 'hey you haven't talked to this customer in 30 days maybe you want to call them'.
It's things like that; if I had this personal assistant to remind me of what to do every day. Coming into work and being like okay what was I supposed to do today. I've got my to do list. It's on a sticky note or it's on a piece of paper, but it's not static. It's actually learning and it's telling you based on how it's reading.
You can connect your email to Salesforce Essentials and it's helping you. It's helping you organize and this is kind of your personal assistant in a lot of ways. But you want the technology to do a job for you because what you need to do as a small business owner and employee really is focusing on your customers. Let the technology do this routine task for you and you can really take your efforts and your employees and focus on where you want to be, which is with your customer.
Small Business Trends: I'm really interested in is this whole area of voice and voice assistants. There was a big announcement during Dreamforce around Einstein Voice. If you could tell folks what that is, but in particular will it be available to small business customers?
Meredith Schmidt: Answer is yes to both. It's going to be available. We've already tested it. It works with Salesforce Essentials. We signed up to be an early pilot for our users with technology. You'll see some stuff coming out over the next several months. But we are signed up to be part of the pilot and get some of our customers using it and testing it. It's really exciting that it does work for all.
This is not let me talk to Alexa or let me talk into my phone talking into Siri, like Siri look up this address for me, or call mom. What we're doing here is using a voice interface to actually help update and locate records inside Salesforce. As you're talking to the Salesforce application through voice I would say "hey look up Brent for me".
It would know that I'm assigned to your account, so it would filter down to hey this is most likely the one you're looking for. Yeah it is the one I'm looking for. But I can also tell it hey I just talked to Brent today and add some notes. It's taking notes. It's not just dictating those notes, it's actually updating relevant objects inside Salesforce. I can say "my opportunity just went to $10,000". It will go update the opportunity for me.
I'm not going in and searching for all these objects to update fields everywhere. I'm talking to it and it's actually intelligently listening to me and gathering that data and saying let me go update everything for you. That's really the power of it. It's not just a note taking app that we're used to, or a dictation, or I'm going to find a simple task.
It's actually taking that and parsing apart the data into updating multiple objects. It's just really learning from you. This is what we've been teaching it. It's pretty cool. I'm super excited about it. I think as a small business, you walk out of that meeting with a customer, you're in the car, you're talking to Salesforce, you're back at your desk, everything's already done. You're not inputting your notes. You're not updating an opportunity. You're not changing an address. It's all done for you.
Small Business Trends: Because chances are if it's not easy for them to put the stuff in, it's not going to get in, so that kind of defeats the purpose.
I'll have to get a look at the Essentials product because having worked with a couple clients on the enterprise platform soured me on it. It's so complex and difficult to work with. The learning curve is immense. I can see how they'd have to treat an SMB product as an entirely different business.
This is because they are B2B. The business itself has its value.

LSJ TV: Not a girl's game
November 3, 2010 LSJ Student LSJ TV, Sport
Once thought of as a sport just for girls, Lacrosse is becoming more popular for men across the world. Similar to hockey, the game involves using long-handled sticks called lacrosse to catch, carry and throw the ball towards the opponent's goal. The sport requires a variety of skills including speed, agility, grace and teamwork.
Upon its inception, the World Championships had only 4 male teams, but now boasts an impressive 38 professional sides.
Here in Lincoln, the men's lacrosse team has been running for 2 years and they compete in The Midlands Bucs league. We spoke to Dan Jones, Vice captain of the Lincoln team, who says that the men's sport has different rules to the women's. Sam Morris, the founder and former president of the team, spoke about growing popularity of men's lacrosse and how those who play the sport are aware of the differences between the two versions of the game.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has repeated its objection to the gTLDs .islam and .halal ever seeing the light of day.
OIC Secretary General Yousef Al-Othaimeen wrote to ICANN earlier this month to declare that its position on the two controversial applications has not changed since it initially objected to them in 2013.
The OIC comprises the foreign ministers from 57 majority-Muslim countries and these ministers recently voted unanimously to re-adopt the 2013 objection, Al-Othaimeen said (pdf).
The group "maintain the position that the new gTLDs with Islamic identity are extremely sensitive in nature as they concern the entire Muslim nature" he wrote.
This puts ICANN between a rock an a hard place.
The applicant for both strings, Turkish outfit Asia-Green IT Systems (AGIT), won an Independent Review Process case against ICANN last November.
The IRP panel ruled that ICANN broke its own bylaws when it placed .islam and .halal into permanent limbo — an "On Hold" status pending withdrawal of the applications or OIC approval — in 2014.
ICANN's board accepted the ruling and bounced the decision on whether to finally approve or reject the bids to its Board Accountability Mechanisms Committee, which is currently mulling over the problem.
Technically, it's "non-consensus Governmental Advisory Committee advice", which means the board has some wriggle room to simply accept the advice and reject the applications.
But AGIT's lawyer disagrees, recently telling ICANN (pdf) its options are to approve the bids or facilitate dialogue towards their approval, rather like ICANN is doing with .amazon right now.
Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, Donuts has prevailed in the two-horse race for the .charity gTLD.
The company appears to have privately resolved its contention set, paying off rival bidder Famous Four Media, judging by updates to ICANN's web site today.
The gTLD had been scheduled for an ICANN "last resort" auction in April, but that's now off.
Famous Four has also withdrawn its application, leaving Donuts the only remaining applicant.
I believe it will be Donuts' 239th 240th gTLD.
But for a while it looked like Famous Four had a slam-dunk on its hands.
Back in 2014, the Independent Objector of the new gTLD program had filed an Community Objection against Donuts' application, saying it was too risky to unleash a .charity domain onto the world without registration eligibility restrictions.
The fear was (and probably still is) that fraudsters could use the domains to lend an air of credibility to their online scams.
The IO prevailed, pretty much gifting Famous Four — which had proposed restrictions — the TLD.
But Donuts embarked upon an arduous set of appeals, including an Independent Review Process case, that culminated, last December, in a ruling (pdf) that reversed the original Community Objection decision.
That cleared the way for Donuts back into the application process and, now, the private auction it seems to have won.
Due to ICANN's adoption of Governmental Advisory Committee advice on sensitive strings, Donuts will be obliged to put some Public Interest Commitments into its .charity contract, with the aim of reducing abuse.
CPE probe: "whitewash" or "fig leaf"?
And I was correct! Ta-dah! I'm here all week.
The lawyer for applicants for .music and .gay gTLDs has written to ICANN to complain that a purportedly independent review of the Community Evaluation Process was riddled with errors and oversights and should not be trusted.
In a letter on behalf of dotgay LLC, Arif Ali calls the report a "whitewash". In a letter on behalf of DotMusic, he calls it a "fig leaf".
Both companies think that the CPE probe was designed to give ICANN cover to proceed with auctions for five outstanding gTLD contention sets, rather than to get to the bottom of perceived inconsistencies in the process.
Both of Ali's clients applied for their respective gTLDs as "community" applicants, trying to avoid auctions by using the Community Priority Evaluation process.
During their CPEs, both carried out by the Economist Intelligence Unit, neither applicant scored highly enough to win the exclusive right to .gay or .music, meaning the next stage was to auction the strings off to the highest bidder.
After repeated complaints from applicants and an Independent Review Process finding that ICANN lacked transparency and that staff may have had inappropriate influence over the EIU, ICANN hired FTI Consulting to look into the whole CPE process.
FTI's report was finally delivered late last year, clearing ICANN on all counts of impropriety and finding that the EIU's evaluations had been consistent across each of the applications it looked at.
The remaining gTLDs affected by this are .music, .gay, .hotel, .cpa, and .merck.
The report reveals that FTI's investigation was cursory at best; its narrow mandate and evaluation methodology were designed to do little more than vindicate ICANN's administration of the CPE process.
It is evident that FTI engaged in a seemingly advocacy-driven investigation to reach conclusions that would absolve ICANN of the demonstrated and demonstrable problems that afflicted the CPE process.
Among the applicants' list of complaints: their claim that FTI did not interview affected applicants or take their submissions seriously, and the fact that ICANN was less than transparent about who was conducting the probe and what its remit was.
The same letter quotes ICANN chair Cherine Chalaby, then vice-chair, saying in a January 2017 webinar that he had observed inconsistencies in how the CPEs were carried out; inconsistencies FTI has since found did not occur.
That should be enough to provoke discussion when the board meets to discuss this and other issues in Los Angeles on Saturday.
* I didn't actually do this of course, I just thought about it, but you get my point.
Amazon suffered a blistering attack from South American governments over its controversial .amazon gTLD applications this weekend.
A Peruvian official today excoriated Amazon's latest peace offering, telling the tech giant in no uncertain terms that the word "Amazon" is not its property and demanding an apology for the company's alleged behavior during recent legal proceedings.
Speaking for almost 10 minutes during a session at the ICANN 60 meeting in Abu Dhabi this afternoon, Peru's representative to the Governmental Advisory Committee pulled rank and scolded Amazon like a naughty schoolchild.
She claimed that Amazon had been bad-mouthing Peru by saying former GAC reps had "lied to and manipulated" the rest of the GAC in order to get support for its objection. She then demanded an apology from the company for this.
She was speaking in support of the idea that the string "Amazon" belongs to the people of the Amazonas region, which covers as many as eight South American countries, rather than the American company, despite the fact that none of those countries use the English word to describe the region.
Her remarks drew applause from parts of the audience.
Amazon had showed up at the session — described by two GAC reps later as a "lion's den" — to offer a "strong, agreed-upon compromise that addresses the needs of the governments".
The proposed deal would see the GAC drop its objections to .amazon in exchange for certain safeguards.
Amazon is promising to reserve geographically and culturally sensitive words at the second level in .amazon.
The domain rainforest.amazon, its associate general counsel Dana Northcott said by way of example, would be never be used by anyone.
Affected governments would get to negotiate a list of such terms before .amazon went live and there'd be an ongoing consultation process for more such terms to be protected in future.
The company has also promised not to object to — and in fact to actively support with hard resources — any future applications for .amazonas or other local-language variants by the people of the region.
But Peru was not impressed, telling the company that not only is the English version of the name of the region not its property but also that it must show more respect to governments.
"No government is going to accept any impositions from you," she said, before appealing to fellow GAC members that the issue represents a kind of existential threat.
"The core issue here… is our survival as governments in this pseudo-multi-stakeholder space that has been invented," she said.
The Peruvian GAC rep, listed on the GAC web site as María Milagros Castañon Seoane but addressed only as "Peru" during the session, spoke in Spanish; I've been quoting the live interpretation provided by ICANN.
Her remarks, in my opinion, were at least partially an attempt to strengthen her side's negotiating hand after an Independent Review Process panel this July spanked ICANN for giving too much deference to GAC advice.
The IRP panel decided that ICANN had killed the .amazon applications — in breach of its bylaws — due to a GAC objection that appeared on the face of the public record to be based on little more than governmental whim.
The panel essentially highlighted a clash between ICANN's bylaws commitments to fairness and transparency and the fact that its New gTLD Applicant Guidebook rules gave the GAC a veto over any application for any reason with no obligation to explain itself.
It told ICANN to reopen the applications for consideration and "make an objective and independent judgment regarding whether there are, in fact, well-founded, merits-based public policy reasons for denying Amazon's applications".
Resolved (2017.10.29.02), the Board asks the GAC if it has: (i) any information to provide to the Board as it relates to the "merits-based public policy reasons," regarding the GAC's advice that the Amazon applications should not proceed; or (ii) any other new or additional information to provide to the Board regarding the GAC's advice that the Amazon applications should not proceed.
Other governments speaking today expressed doubt about whether the IRP ruling should have any jurisdiction over such GAC advice.
"It is not for any panelist to decided what is public policy, it is for the governments to decide," Iran's Kavouss Arasteh said.
During a later session today the GAC, talking among itself, made little progress in deciding how to formally respond to the ICANN board's resolution.
A session between the GAC and the ICANN board on Tuesday is expected to be the next time the issue raises its increasingly ugly head.
Amazon is going to have to wait a bit longer to discover whether its 2012 application for the gTLD .amazon will remain rejected.
ICANN's board of directors at the weekend discussed whether to revive the application in light of the recent Independent Review Process panel ruling that the bid had been kicked out for no good reason.
Instead of making a firm decision, or punting it to the Government Advisory Committee (as I had predicted), the board instead referred the matter to a subcommittee for further thought.
review and consider the Panel's recommendation that the Board "promptly re-evaluate Amazon's applications" and "make an objective and independent judgment regarding whether there are, in fact, well-founded, merits-based public policy reasons for denying Amazon's applications," and to provide options for the Board to consider in addressing the Panel's recommendation.
The notion of a "prompt" resolution appears to be subjective, but Amazon might not have much longer to wait for a firmer decision.
While the BAMC's charter requires it to have meetings at least quarterly, if it follows the practice of its predecessor they will be far more frequent.
It's possible Amazon could get an answer by the time of the public meeting in Abu Dhabi at the end of next month.
ICANN's board did also resolve to immediately pay Amazon the $163,045.51 in fees the IRP panel said was owed.
The .amazon gTLD application, along with its Chinese and Japanese versions, was rejected by ICANN a few years ago purely on the basis of consensus GAC advice, led by the geographic name collisions concerns of Peru and Brazil.
However, the IRP panel found that the GAC advice appeared to based on not a great deal more than whim, and that the ICANN board should have at least checked whether there was a sound rationale to reject the bids before doing so.


Despite being limited to a black and white colour palette, the original version of Mac OS is still a beautiful example of user interface design, thanks in part to Susan Kare's work on the operating system's simple yet expressive icons. To some, like Adams, it could even be considered a work of art.
However, hanging an old Macintosh computer on your wall seems like a logistical challenge, so a cross-stitched homage is probably the next best thing.
There's undoubtedly a few Mac-obsessed folk out there who would like to have this creation hanging in their office. But after putting six months of hard work into it, it's doubtful Adams has any intentions of selling this masterpiece.
But who knows, maybe you could convince her to recreate your favourite operating system screenshot. I bet the Windows blue screen of death isn't as difficult to cross-stitch.

Real-time sales tax proposal must be rejected
May 1, 2018 By Bill Rennie, RAM Vice President
Many in the business community were pleased to see that painstaking policy work undertaken by Speaker Robert DeLeo and Chairman Jeffrey Sánchez of the House Ways and Means Committee had resulted in the removal of a real-time sales tax provision from an earlier version of the state budget currently being debated in the state house. They propose instead to create a bipartisan and commission to study the feasibility of a monthly estimated sales tax payment structure. This eminently sensible approach allows a thoughtful review of Massachusetts' sales tax collection system, and removes the need for the immense technological overhaul real-time sales tax would require.
A real-time sales tax system would require retailers in the Commonwealth to remit sales tax from electronic transactions as they occur. The concept has been universally opposed by Massachusetts businesses, with a broad coalition of retailers, banks, payments providers and others, urging policymakers to reject real-time sales tax on the grounds that it is costly, burdensome and doomed to failure.
The case against real-time sales tax is overwhelming. Even if the technology to provide such a system were to exist (and there is little evidence that it does), implementation would require a wholesale reworking of retail technology and software, imposing a huge cost and compliance burden on payments networks, financial institutions, and merchants of all sizes, all while negatively affecting millions of consumer card payments and electronic funds transfers.
Even if robust technology were developed that made real-time sales tax collection possible, a complex challenge would exist in the form of returned merchandise. In the sales of goods, returns are frequent and made over lengthy time periods. National Retail Federation (NRF) data show eight percent of purchases are returned, with return rates of 30 percent or more for online purchases. In order to avoid situations in which merchants refund customers money that has already been paid in tax, the government would need to return money to merchants in real-time. To do otherwise could cause hardship, particularly for smaller businesses. It is not clear how this essential component of a real-time sales tax scheme would work.
We applaud the recent diligence of the Speaker and the Ways and Means committee in weighing the evidence for and against real-time sales tax collection. It is no surprise to us that they came to the conclusion that it must not go forward. In doing so, they mirror the findings of investigations in other states around the nation. Nowhere else does real-time sales tax collection exist. A recent initiative in Connecticut failed after review by that state's Department of Revenue. The bipartisan National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) examined it and concluded "real-time sales tax process is not a solution."
Here in Massachusetts, the business community is united in opposition to the real-time sales tax proposal. To date, 32 companies and trade associations — 11 of which are headquartered in the state, have submitted comments to the legislature detailing their concerns. Collectively, we appreciate the leadership of Speaker DeLeo, Chairman Sánchez and the members of the Ways and Means Committee in abandoning, once and for all, further pursuit of an untested and unproven real-time sales tax theory. The evidence clearly indicates that they have done the right thing.

Chapter 1: England Lives…and Marches On
Melanie yawned as yet another report came in from yet another department somewhere in her massive palace. She looked at the time on one of her monitors: 2:15 AM. No wonder her head was throbbing so much. All she wanted to do was to plop down on her bed next to her husband, but alas, that had to wait for only God knows how long. Totally exhausted and oblivious to her surroundings, she failed to notice a man walk by her team of guards in the hallway outside of her office and up the steps that led to the platform where her desk was.
"Who's there?" She asked exhaustedly, realizing that someone was standing behind her. If her guards let him through, he had to be vetted.
"Mel, it's 2:15. Come with me, you really need some sleep."
"Oh Fletch," Melanie uttered, placing her head on her desk in utter exhaustion, "I would love to, I really would, but there are so many conference calls that I need to make."
"Love, when is the last time you had a day off?"
Melanie paused. "Fuck, I have no idea."
"You can't keep doing this to yourself. The kids miss you dearly. I miss you. I need you."
"I miss you more Fletch, but Courtney will kill me if I ignore these tasks."
"Fuck my mom," Fletcher smiled, digging his hands into Melanie's shoulders and beginning to massage them. Melanie practically yelped with pleasure as Fletcher rubbed her shoulders back and forth, letting the blood flow and removing all kinks and knots. Her messenger rang, but Melanie was far too engrossed to even hear it.
"You know Fletch," she said as he winded down. "I should demote you from senior advisor to head massage therapist!" She smiled, her body feeling so much better than it did.
"I wouldn't mind that at all my love. What are you reading anyways?"
"Ah, some bullshit from the frontier regions. The Cephevad Tribes have a large population of young males who want to prove themselves. They are launching raiding parties into our territory, so I'm just examining our defenses."
"Very interesting," he said jokingly.
"Alright senior advisor," Melanie asked sarcastically, "what should I do?"
"I say you toss those reports into the trash and come with me to our bedroom. We can talk about something that you find interesting…like something historical."
"Sounds good to me Fletch," Melanie nodded as she locked up her computer monitors. All the conference calls would wait till the morning. She carefully tucked her seat under the desk, placed important documents in her bag, and closed a door on top of the platform. Walking down the stairs and into the hallway, her guards seamlessly went from guarding the entrance to walking in sync at her sides, blocking all directions from any sort of threat.
"I've been thinking Melanie, what if Germany won World War One?"
Melanie stopped, too tired to comprehend what he just asked. "What?"
"No, I heard you. That's an insane proposition," she said, continuing to walk down the empty and quiet halls of her palace. "Germany had absolutely no way of winning the war. None at all. They were outnumbered with no resources, blockaded from any shipments, and hemmed in on all sides by enemies. Where did you even get this idea?"
"Well, I've been playing a video game…"
"A video game? I thought I banned all of them for corrupting the youth."
"I have my methods."
"A game called Hearts of Iron Four. Made over 200 years ago. There is a mod for it."
"Mod?"
"A modification. An overhaul. It's called Kaiserreich, basically a thought experiment on what would happen if Germany won the war. I've been playing some sessions in my free time when I'm not busy with anything. It's quite enjoyable."
"Fletcher," Melanie said smartly as they reached their residence. "Look, such an idea is absolutely insane. There is absolutely no way that Germany could have won the war. None, zilch, nada."
"I dunno, do you think there may be a universe out there where they did?"
"Nope. Come Fletcher. Let me shower. God I need to sleep."
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The room was filled with absolute anticipation as the crowd eagerly awaited the speaker to come forth. The room, in Manchester England, was absolutely filled to the brim with people, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. People were waving flags, shouting slogans, and jumping up and down. Suddenly, the crowd roared. A man, flanked on all sides by well decorated soldiers, began to march down the alley in the center of the room, not paying attention to the adoring fans all around them The crowd erupted into an absolute frenzy of excitement as he walked onto the stage. His presence was all-encompassing as he stood there silently, soaking in the energy of the crowd; indeed, all he had to was raise a finger, and the crowd became silent. He was in control. It was his destiny. The stage was draped with red and white flags.
The room became silent. You could hear a pin drop. Nobody dared to breathe. Suddenly, when the room was totally engrossed, he began.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he started, silently. "This great meeting, is gathered here tonight, to here the policy and face of Maximism." He paused again.
"If you think the present system of things can really see you see through, then its idle for our new and virile face of Maximism, I come to you with a new and revolutionary conception of politics, of economics, and of life itself! Indeed, I have another doctrine to put before you, one that will finally be able to destroy our two great enemies, one of which lies across the waters on the continent and the other in the new world."
The crowd clapped. He sensed their energy: it was time to bring the energy.
"For too long we have suffered from idle words and false promises. The men of the revolution promised us the world, but what have they given us? Dirt and ashes! While our enemies gather in strength and numbers, building for the inevitable conflict that WILL happen, a conflict that they will start to destroy us, our people bicker over meaningless details and idle worlds. How do we expect to fight our foes if we cannot even agree on how to run our government?! How do we expect to survive the great crusade that will come? How?! England is dead under this current system!"
"And now, at long last, our men of the war, our men of 1914, the grim ranks of our ex-service men, again and again betrayed by politicians." He said, gradually increasing his volume. "They join hands with the NEW YOUTH! The new generation! Which remembers the mighty past! Together, we say that England is not dead! We say, and I ask you to say with us, lift up your voices in this great meeting in the heart of England! Send to the whole world, a message: ENGLAND LIVES AND MARCHES ON!!!"
"Mosely! Mosely! Mosely!" The crowd began to chant loudly. He smiled, raising both of hands into the air and breathing in deeply, taking in the electric energy of the room. Next to him, his friend Eric was cheering louder than anyone.
Oswald Mosely would rule England. He was destined to save it…at any cost.

Hey everyone! Welcome to my second AAR and first one where I actually will be reporting on a game that is occurring. Here are a few heads up:
1. I really am horrible at HOI4. That is why my difficulty is so low.
2. You may have noticed that I buffed some factions. This was intentional.
3. I have a full story of events planned out. This will not be some random experience. I intend to tell a story. There will, of course, be minor variants on how events play out, but the major beats of my canon will play out the way I want them to.
4. Yes, this ties back to my first AAR, Melanie Bernard.
I hope everyone enjoys the story that is coming up!

Oswald stared out at the French countryside as his plane flew above it. The endless plains of farmland, picturesque small towns, and vineyards stretched as far as the eye could see; it was a beautiful and cloudless day. He was thinking about many things and many things were on his mind. His daydreaming was disrupted by a tap on his shoulder.
"Oswald," Eric Blair remarked. He had been sitting across from him. "You look like you are deep in thought."
"I am Eric."
"About what if I may ask?"
"All of these lands, all of these vineyards, all of these towns, they need to be the ones that defend the revolution. War is coming Eric, and its coming sooner than you would ever think."
"I know. We are most certainly ready to defeat the Germans. I can see us storming Berlin any day now. Then we can spread the revolution all over the entire world."
"We aren't ready."
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eric Blair was born on June 25, 1903 in Motihari in what was once part of the British Raj. When he was one years old, his family moved back to England to raise him back in the homeland. His family wanted him to attend public schooling, but his mother could not afford the fee. He won a scholarship and the headmaster made a special arrangement with his family, but this blatant wealth inequality deeply shamed and horrified him, radicalizing him from a young age towards more leftist beliefs.
While he was in school, the first Weltkreig broke out in Europe, sending tens of thousands of young men just like him to their deaths. The scope of the war astonished him, and it was all in vain. France was overrun by German troops for the second time in less than one hundred years, and England was forced to a humiliating white peace. The British economy was utterly devastated, and confidence in her institutions was crushed. The Island became a hotbed of radical beliefs and ideas and the once proud of the British Empire agonized over what went wrong.
In 1924, He was denied a job in Burma as a police officer. As a result, Eric entered politics for the first time with the Labour Party on a radical pacifist platform, denouncing any future wars. His oratory was confident and radical, with much of the public inspired by the stories of his youth. His fervor and zeal for change was strong, but the Labour Party, in his mind, stifled the change that he believed needed to occur. He was only twenty-one at the time.
In 1925, Eric found himself in the deeply conservative stronghold of Birmingham England. England was in the midst of immense turmoil, and the people of Birmingham were ready to stomp out the revolution that was taking place right under their eyes. Eric and other liberals were rounded up and about to be torn apart by a mob of loyalists, when suddenly, one of the people captured with him began to speak. That person was Oswald Mosley. Oswald delivered the most stirring speech Eric had ever heard, and the crowd was absolutely captivated with his zeal and fervor for the revolutionary cause. In just a few minutes, Oswald somehow bargained his release and turned the entire mob to the socialist cause. In a series of speeches, the rest of Birmingham followed suit and joined the revolution that was spreading across England.
In that very moment, Eric became one of Oswald Mosely's most fervent and loyal supporters. It had been ten years since those faithful days, Mosely's fame and political clout had only risen and risen. Eric, through his own charisma and intellect quickly rose to be Oswald Mosely's second in command. They had developed an entirely new and radical theory of politics and economics, designed to ensure the survival of the revolution and now, they were on a plane to meet with other Maximist leaders around the world to create and combined charter to present to the world.
No matter what was about to happen, Eric was sure that he would be at Oswald's side through thick and thin and to the end.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Oswald sighed, "I mean that there is opposition to what must occur in order to us to survive. People are so idealistic that it gets in the way of reality. The cold hard truth is that Germany is more powerful than France and England combined and can easily crush us if they so desired. The only thing keeping us alive is their inaction. We need to act, and decisively."
"Do you have any hope about the future Oswald?"
"I have more hope than you could ever imagine. We will win this war…we must."
"I am certain that you will succeed in being nominated as chairman."
"There is intense opposition to me you as you well know. Snowden really does not have much affection for me."
"He will be dealt with soon enough."
"Yes. Eric, even if I win, and that is a big if, other nations could sour on what must be done. France is also going through what will surely be a contentious election on their own end. The, heaven forbid, anarcho-syndicalists could win and surely usher in their demise. We need France."
"That is why we are going to this conference. This next few months will surely be one of the most important in all of history. Eric, I want you to be aware of the gravity of the situation. The charter that we will surely come up with must be the ideal that drives Socialism. If we fail, the revolution is dead."
"Oswald, I have seen you do things that…seem to defy reality itself. I saw you almost miraculously convince a hostile crowd," Eric said, placing his hand on Oswald's shoulder, "You will do what needs to be done."
"Yes Eric, we will do what needs to be done."
To setup a friendship like that --- the cynical me immediately suspects it is going to fall apart. In a way I hope I am wrong.
stnylan said:
Indeed. I hope that won't happen.
Phillip Snowden leaned back at his desk, groaning with pleasure as he forcefully stretched his arms over his head and behind the chair, stretching out his tortured limbs, tired and worn down after over seventy years of use. Phillip was nearing the end of his life, and all the worrying about the affairs of state were not making his health any better than before. The next few weeks would certainly be trying times for the Union of Britain.
Just a few days prior, Alexander Kerensky, the president of Russia, had been assassinated in broad daylight, plunging Russia into chaos. When the dust settled, Lavr Kornilov managed to seize the apparatus of the state with the help of one Boris Savinkov and his supporters. Maybe the Soviets could launch a war, but the odds of the happening were decreasing by the day. It was a shame: Russia could have proven to be a solid ally against Germany: perhaps sending support to rouse up some chaos would be a good option?
Deep in thought, Philip was rudely awakened by one of his personal attendants slamming into the door and falling onto the floor. A newspaper humorously flew out of his hands, all of the pages sprawling onto the floor.
"Woah there boy! What is the matter?" Phillip exclaimed with surprise.
"Sir…Oswald Mosely," the attendant said, trying to collect the pages of the paper back.
"Spit it out man!"
"Yes chairman!" The young man fumbled but managed to awkwardly slam the front page of a newspaper onto Snowden's desk, knocking several pens and papers off of the desk in the process Snowden scanned it over carefully, soaking in every word of the headline.
"You…you can go now," Snowden said breathlessly, pointing for the man to leave. Embarrassed and his face red with shame, the man ran out of the room, probably replaying the events in his mind.
Snowden leaned back in his chair and sighed deeply, his fists resting on his mouth, his mind deep in contemplation. Oswald Mosely and himself had never really gotten along well at all: the two men hated each other with a deep passion born out of a pure ideological clash. Phillip was an old fashioned leftist who found himself adopting a French style of Syndicalism after the Revolution a decade ago. Phillip was a supporter of democracy and freedom of the people to congregate and choose their own leaders. The only reason he had been in power for so long was because he was one of the only leaders that satisfied the various factions of the Trade Union Congress. Now that his health was failing, an election was coming up, something that many people were dreading. Phillip never really enjoyed ruling, hated public speech, and was opposed to holding power.
Oswald Mosely was the complete opposite of Snowden in just about every way. He was power hungry, held massive public rallies on a near daily basis, and wanted to centralize the state in ways that Phillip could have never dreamed possible. Grabbing a page off of the floor, Phillip read with shock the elements of the Totalist Charter. Phillip could only hope that the people of the Trade Union Congress would reject this utter madness. If they went with Oswald…who knew what would come of it. Surely the people of England were better than this.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"People of England! I say to you with the utmost faith, we will rise again from the ashes of despair and once again take our place among the great powers of the world! We will, and we must, secure the Revolution and ensure the demise of our enemies!"
The crowed erupted into chants of Oswald. He lifted his hand, the crowd growing silent.
"Friends," Oswald began, almost whispering. "A great series of events are about to come, for our friend and leader Phillip Snowden is retiring and the Congress will select a new leader, a leader that will have sway to control our destiny. I say that this will be the most important election in the history of our great island. The man who takes control will guide us into the future, and he must be the right man for the job."
"Who will that be?!" Came a voice from the crowd.
"Great question! People, look to your left and to your right. Everyone here has a voice, and I need you to use it. I ask you a favor. Together, and with voices raised high, swarm your representatives, and tell them this: any man opposed to the charter that I have formulated will see the end of the England!!!"
The crowd erupted into a zealous frenzy.
"Any man opposed to centralizing the state is supporting the destruction of the Revolution. Any man who supports the chaos that some of my fellows advocate for support German occupation of London. Any man who denies the rule of the state in the advancement of our great Revolution supports the destruction of Socialism. And finally, any man who opposes Totalism is a traitor to our state!!!"
Oswald grinned from ear to ear as the crowd chanted his name. He leaped from the stage and stood on the railings dividing the crowd from the stage, reaching into the frenzied mass of supporters. People were crying and cheering, reaching their arms in a desperate frenzy to merely touch Oswald's sleeve or hand. Mosely was a celebrity in every single sense of the word.
"So Oswald," Eric Blair said as they both boarded a car, "what now?"
"Eric, we will go to London and to the Trade Union Congress. There, I will make my case before the Congress to elect me as chairman."
"I know that…I meant, what do you think will happen in the world?"
"I feel that the United States will go into civil war soon, that may be our best hope to advance our cause…."
"Sir," a uniformed supporter said, knocking on the car window and holding a newspaper.
"What is it?" Oswald gruffed, lowering the window. The supporter handed him a paper.
"So it begins."
Indeed it does.
I do feel a bit sorry for Snowden.

Yeah, he seems like a legit nice guy. Not the kind of man who'd go balls deep into another world war, I guess.

Oswald is a dangerous man.
The air was unimaginably tense. Eric could taste the tension as their car drove down the streets of London towards the Trade Union Congress. Next to him was Oswald Mosely and his wife Cynthia. While Cynthia looked incredibly nervous and was fidgeting all over the place, Oswald was still and calm like usual, a dogged determination emanating from him. Eric Blair himself was afraid yet confident at the same time, reassured by his friend's demeanor.
All around them, crowds were forming. Oswald's car was in the middle of a large convoy of armed supporters, a tactic that seemed to keep the angry protestors at bay. Police were beating back hostile crowds and were struggling to maintain order. Much of London was impacted by chaotic street battles between Totalist members and members of other parties opposed to Mosely and his plans. This was expected, so Oswald deliberately flooded the streets with Maximist party members.
"Damn Oswald, I never knew that this meeting would cause this much chaos," Eric remarked, observing the chaos unfolding all around him.
"Traitors, all of them," Cynthia exclaimed, her left knee fidgeting up and down wildly, occasionally hitting Eric's leg. She knew that this was possibly the most important day in her husband's life.
"We will end this madness soon enough," Oswald said, watching his hardened supporters easily beat back protestors. "We will prevail."
"Oswald, no matter what happens, I will have your back," Eric smiled, looking at his friend.
The convoy rolled through several secure gates manned by armed guards. The car came to a stop in-front of a set of stairs that led up to the main hall where the Congress met. A uniformed attendant exited the passenger seat in the front of the car and opened Oswald's door, saluting as he exited the car. A crowd of supporters cheered as Oswald, Cynthia, and Eric exited the car. Waiting for them was none other than Phillip Snowden himself. Leaning on a cane, Snowden approached Oswald.
"You're late Mosely," Snowden gruffed, refusing to shake Oswald's hand. The group began to walk up the stairs.
"I know, I like to make an entrance," Oswald smirked, holding his wife's hand.
"Well, you certainly did so. How does it feel to leave much of London on fire? Your recklessness is almost as grand as your hunger for power."
"Good, because I am going to end this madness when I'm elected as chairman."
"We will see about that Oswald," Phillip frowned.
"Yes we will."
Approaching the main entrance, Eric began to freeze out of a bit of nervousness. Oswald laid his hand on Eric's shoulder.
"Breathe son…breathe."
The doors opened, and almost immediately, the room lit up like a powder keg. Hostile enemies of Oswald's plans immediately rose from their seats and began to hurl insults at the delegation that was entering the room. Supporters tried to yell even louder, causing the room to devolve into a chaotic mess. Phillip angrily walked up to this chair and began to, with great effort, bang his wooden hammer on the desk.
"Order! Order!!" Phillip barked. The room slowly but surely began to calm down as everyone took their seats. "I am old, and I am frail," he remarked faintly, "so I will not tolerate any sort of disruptions or remarks today. Anyone who is out of order will be removed from the proceedings if they ignore my warnings. Direct insults will not be tolerated. We all know the rules here, and none of us are children. Have I made myself clear? Good. On the order of business today is the selection of a new head of government and the structure of the government that will result from this change. I will recognize speakers as I see fit, and they will speak in the allotted times. The chair begins by recognizing Niclas y Glais.
"What an old fool," Oswald whispered to Eric as Niclas stood up to speak. Next to them, Cynthia was rapidly bouncing her legs nervously, but looked eager to speak.
"I agree," Eric whispered, laughing.
"Fellow members of the Trade Union Congress, I come forward with great reluctance and humility. I also come with a plea: these next few hours will undoubtedly be the most important in the history of the Union, for we will decide our future, a future that our children will live in. I urge, no, I beg everyone here to consider the implications of whatever they choose to vote for. We could betray the revolution and those who fought for it by choosing tyranny and authoritarianism, or we can…"
"Point of order!" Cynthia Mosely yelled zealously, standing up. Oswald was surprised but made no effort to stop her.
"What is it Mrs. Mosely?" Phillip said unenthusiastically.
"Referring to our side as tyranny or authoritarianism is a direct insult."
"Point of order denied. Please continue Niclas."
"Thank you Chairman, we can betray the revolution by choosing tyranny, or we can support its ideals by liberating our fellow workers and giving them a say in our government and how it runs. I urge you all to deny those who would destroy all that we hold dear, tempting us with words of honey and promises of wealth. These words of honey are filled with poison, and this wealth will rot away under the weight of evil. With this mind, I humbly place myself in the running to become the next head of government. I hope that we all reject tyranny and instead, support hope and peace."
The hall clapped eagerly. Phillip banged his gavel, ordering all to silence. "The chair recognizes the honorable Commissar for the Exchequer, Oswald Mosely."
Immediately, the room turned hostile. Niclas's supporters began to hurl insults and shout slogans, drowning any attempt on behalf of Mosely to speak. Eric sat there angrily as the room turned more and more hostile. Several members of the congress left their seats and began to approach the Maximist corner of the hall. Maximist supporters rose from their seats and scuffles broke out. In the chaos, Oswald did not notice Eric leave his seat and go all the way around towards Snowden's seat.
"Men!" Came a voice booming through the microphones. The crowd stopped fighting, almost as if on cue. There in the middle of it all was Eric Blair, standing where Snowden normally did.
It was time for Eric to speak.
And what, I wonder, will Eric say.
It was almost miraclous. The entire hall stood silent as Eric Blair called the entire assembly to silence, all of the scuffling and fighting coming to an end. Oswald's eyes widened in wonder at the pure command that Eric had over the Trade Union Congress. Phillip Snowden, pushed from his seat during the chaos, leaned against a column and began to listen.
Editor's Note: What follows is a direct transcription obtained from a secretary who was in the room as Eric Blair (note, strike that name through if this gets published) spoke. This is the only remaining copy of what was said during that fateful hour.
"Men! Englishmen! Fellow revolutionaries! Men of the War! I have been a in politics for over a decade now, first as a member of the Labour Party, and then more recently, a proud member of the Trade Union Congress. I have long supported Socialist ideals and I believe that my qualifications are without doubt or under any sort of suspicion.
This circus that is before us is appalling and deeply shameful and I have never seen such barbarism in my life. What are we? Are we pigs…animals… mindless people roaming to and fro? Or are we the men who broke the chains of oppression and ushered in the new and revolutionary conception of our ideal state?! We destroyed a monarchy, wiped out an army, and drove a near millennia old nation off of our fair island. This shameful act of insanity is beneath us and below who we are as a proud people who have done incredible things.
Niclas, your oratory broke the back of the Welsh loyalists and drove our poor miners to revolt. Annie, your rhetoric brought tens of thousands of women to break their chains and join us. Arthur, your leadership kept our boat afloat during the turbulent waves that nearly submerged us. Snowden…your accomplishments are too many to even begin to recall. Thank you for your service.
I am forgetting an important name, a man who was just as instrumental as everyone in this room. That man is a friend and he sits right behind me. That man is Oswald Mosely.
I know Oswald more than just about anyone…aside from his wife Cynthia of course. Who faced a loyalist mob when they threatened to kill many of us? Oswald did. Who went town by town, giving rousing speeches to loyalists and those who opposed us? Oswald did. Who led our economy through those dark years, allowing us to be spared of the greater world economy and German industry? Oswald did! Time and time again, Oswald has shown his absolute dedication to Socialism. If I support Socialism, he lives and breathes it.
These calls of tyrant and totalitarian are just that, calls, false ones at that. Oswald cares about nothing more than the success of our state. I see that every day. His history proves that.
Some of his proposals may seem controversial, but I do not see need for this. His economic proposals of centralization and direct control have borne nothing but fruit. Just look at the United States and Germany! Their economies are in the absolute gutter, and yet despite this, our economy is perfectly fine! Oswald has successfully led us away from the greater world economy, and we owe him a debt.
Militarily, this come as a surprise….but I see his point. Yes, I ran as a pacifist opposing war, but we have many enemies. Across the Atlantic, the monarchists plot their return to our Island, and there are undoubtedly loyalists on this island, even in this very room. Yes, in this very room. What is across the channel? Germany! The most powerful nation on this globe mocks us and openly calls for our destruction on a daily basis. How can we keep our collective heads in the sand and pretend that we can this utopia while enemies seek to wipe us out? As long as the King claims our home as his, we will never be truly free. We must seek peace through strength. The only way we can have our long desired peace is if our enemies are destroyed. If this means a great war for the Revolution, then so be it.
Many here call for autonomy for the various states of our Congress. This is lunacy. How can we coordinate any sort of effort amongst four or even five various Trade Union Congresses? What is the bigger number…five or one? One nation, one army, one purpose. If we end this unity, then we will be weaker because of it. If we succumb to factionalism and autonomy, then we will die. Together, we are unbeatable. Separated, we are weak and frail. Oswald is correct in that we need one centralized government that can keep the peace and enforce our laws and customs.
I know that I am speaking for a long time, and I apologize, but this display of madness led me to express my passion. Oswald is someone that I respect as a friend…a mentor…and even a father. His passion for our cause is infectious and he commands a following that dwarfs everyone else here. That is undeniable. Outside, thousands of people call his name and demand his election as chairman. We would be foolish to deny their voice.
For these reasons and more, I, Eric Arthur Blair, do announce that I will cast my vote for the only man who can lead us through what will inevitably be hard times for our nation. The United States may burst apart into war, Germany will most likely war with the Commune, and the world economy has recently been broken down. These coming times will be the hardest in our nation, and I know nobody more qualified than Oswald Mosely to lead us. Do not let your personal feelings sway you away from making the right choice.
"Eric Blair, you mean George Orwell, the guy who wrote 1984? He was a fucking Communist?" A young woman exclaimed loudly, slamming the book on the table.
"Who is George Orwell? What is 1984? I've never heard of it."
"You don't know 1984? Where the hell am I?!?!"
I was wondering when our traveller might make an appearance.

But that's just because the Kaiserreich devs are filthy syndies, Eric!
The worker calmly took Phillip Snowden's portrait off of the wall as Cynthia, Eric, and Oswald watched. Oswald smirked slightly as another team of workers quickly put a portrait of him in its place. They nailed it in, carefully lined it up perfectly, and left as quickly as they entered. The trio stared at it, admiring the work.
"What do you think?" Oswald asked, his arms crossed over his chest.
"I rather like it, looks just like you!" Cynthia exclaimed excitedly.
"Well, I had one commissioned of you, considering you are my foreign minister and all."
Cynthia blushed, "I hope it's as good as this one."
"General Secretary, what do you think?"
"Hmm," Eric started, "I think they messed up your mustache Oswald. They made that piece of hair on your lip far more beautiful than it is in real life."
"Don't get me started Eric," Oswald laughed.
"I wouldn't dare," he replied sarcastically.
"Shall I commission a portrait to grace your office?"
"As long as it makes me more attractive than you, yes."
Oswald playfully punched Eric in the shoulder. "How dare you talk to your chairman like that! I could easily have you exiled for insulting me like that, or even worse! I could have you killed. I demand that you apologize."
"I basically single-handedly got you elected Oswald! I don't think you would dare exile me."
"I'll have to concede that point Eric."
"Say Cynthia, I need to speak with Eric, how about you go and decorate your new office? I'll stop by later and help."
"Alright Oswald, I'll see you later."
"Eric," Oswald said more seriously as Cynthia walked down the hall, "I need some advice."
"I've been thinking," Oswald remarked as the pair walked down the hall, "there are a lot of external problems that we need to deal with…but we have major internal ones as well. Things here are far more unstable than I would like to admit."
"Eric, I may have been elected as chairman of this Union, but there are many people who do not like me one bit."
"Like who? I must admit I have been out of the loop these last few weeks?"
"Niclas called me a tyrant in a speech this morning, and Snowden wrote a column denouncing my ideas and ideology. I cannot risk having this opposition during these trying times. They may try something that could risk the stability of our Union."
"Why are you scared of them?"
"I'm not," Oswald replied, closing the door to his office. "I'm just saying that these times will be hard, and I would love to not have to worry about things on the home-front. You understand?"
"I understand Oswald."
"What should we do?"
"Perhaps…well…some good old fashioned propaganda would do the trick. Maybe some Commissars or commissioners to spread our word amongst the people. People will hesitate to speak out if they have their offices threatened by their own constituents. It doesn't have to be anything too insane, just a bit of truth telling if you understand what I'm saying."
"Like a Minister of Truth?"
"Hmm," Oswald said, moving some boxes around his desk. "Alright Eric, I appoint you as this Commissar. Spread the word."
"Your gospel will be spread far and wide."
"Good," Oswald smiled. "Now, get to it. I need to arrange my new office."
Eric Blair carefully walked at the scene of the crime. It was a blatant attack right in the middle of the day in the heart of London, something that wasn't exactly usual. A group of people had been shot dead, their bodies filled with bullet holes, their clothes taken off and their bodies mutinied. A building behind them had been burned to the ground.
"Secretary!" A police officer yelled. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard the chaos," Eric replied. "What the hell happened here?"
"Sir, we heard shots, then as we came closer our police came under heavy fire. Before we could call in reinforcements the criminals were gone. I have never seen such a disaster."
"Have you identified the victims?"
"Sir, this was a political gathering, I believe in support of Niclas Y Glais, but we need to ascertain further."
"Good…get on with your work."
Eric Blair walked carefully amongst the bodies. Several of his propaganda posters had been nailed right into the faces of the dead. He could barely contain his stomach: the smell of burning hair and flesh filled with the air. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the stomachs of several of the victims had been covered with inscriptions.
Hail Comrade Mosely: Down with the Traitors!
Eric's face grew white. This was a political attack.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Cynthia grinned excitedly as she scanned over the paper. Eric was deep in contemplation, playing with his lunch. She was all smiles, and was giggling softly under her breath. She was clearly trying to get Eric's attention. Realizing that he wasn't paying attention, she finally tapped him on the shoulder.
"Eric!"
"Apologies, I was thinking."
"No matter, you have to read this."
"Wow, the Vietnamese have risen up against Germany? No matter, I bet there are barely armed with sticks and stones. Germany will easily kill the rice peasants. I don't know why you are so happy."
"Well, I'm happy because any chance to strike at the Germans is news to me. France has already sent volunteers to Vietnam, and we will send advisers. Perhaps the Indochina will finally see some freedom from oppression for once."
"Perhaps. I doubt that the pacifist hawks in the Congress will agree to such an audacious plan however."
"We don't have to worry about them, especially when Oswald combines the offices of Secretary and Chair…."
Cynthia realized that she should not have said that. "I didn't say that," she quickly blurted out.
"What did you say just then?"
Cynthia sighed. "Oswald wants to combine the offices of Secretary and Chairperson into one. Something about streamlining the positions."
"What about the Constitution though?"
"He'll get around it."
Oh Eric, you fool.
That was unexpectedly quick. Also, the sweet irony.

Blueprint appoints Sarah Gillard as CEO
People & Culture, Uncategorized
A Blueprint for Better Business, an independent charity whose purpose is to create a better society through better business, is delighted to announce the appointment of Sarah Gillard as Chief Executive Officer from 1 May 2022 to succeed Charles Wookey.
Sarah is currently Director of Purpose and Special Projects at John Lewis Partnership. Sarah joined the John Lewis Partnership in 2010, following a number of years working in commercial roles with other major high street retailers. She has held senior positions across several different areas: trading, commercial strategy and people strategy. As Director of Purpose and Special Projects, she has been responsible for rearticulating and embedding the purpose of the John Lewis Partnership so that it continues to be a source of inspiration, innovation and strategic differentiation. She is a passionate advocate for making business "more human" – places where people flourish, communities prosper and long-term sustainability is the driving force.
Sue Garrard, Chair of Blueprint's Trustees, said:
"I am delighted that someone of Sarah's calibre and personal values will take over the reins from Charles. He has done an outstanding job of forming Blueprint, taking it from a concept to an organisation that advises FTSE CEOs and Executive Teams on how they can re-think the role of their company in society. This is a deceptively complex and layered journey, and we know from extensive feedback from CEOs that Blueprint has a unique position to both help and challenge company leaders. Our charitable status means our only motive is to improve society through better business purpose and practice. Sarah's background means she can build on what Charles has created and ensure it meets the quite unique needs of our time."
Sarah Gillard said:
"I am really delighted to be taking up this role and joining the brilliant team at Blueprint. I have long admired the work that Charles and the team have done and the positive impact they have had on businesses and their leaders across a number of different industries. As countries emerge from the shock of the pandemic and adjust to a different world, the role that businesses play in society has never been more important. I am very much looking forward to leading Blueprint into the next exciting phase of its development."
Charles Wookey announced last year that he intended to step down after co-founding Blueprint and running it for almost 10 years. He said:
"It's been a great privilege as well as hugely fulfilling to have helped set up and then run the charity, with the commitment and support of many wonderful people. That collective effort has enabled Blueprint to establish a distinctive role as a catalyst for change and a growing reputation through its work with major companies. Sarah is the ideal person to take over now and build on what has been achieved so far. She brings exactly the right combination of senior business experience and acumen, combined with a personal passion and commitment to this work. I wish her well in the role and look forward to supporting her and the fantastic team at Blueprint in the years ahead."
Charles will be working with Sarah between now and the end of April to ensure a smooth transition and will become a Trustee of the charity when he steps down as CEO.

There a lot of reasons to buy a used BMW, but one big reason is to avoid depreciation costs. Any used BMW in Toronto is going to have lost value over time, especially after it was sold as new. Depreciation is the number one reason to avoid new cars and purchase a used BMW at a dealership like Faraz Auto Sales. Our reputation for quality carries with it a promise that any used BMW sold here will be top notch.
Car buyers in Toronto know a good deal when they see it. Savvy consumers are aware of the huge value loss that a new luxury vehicle sees once purchased and driven off a lot. If the vehicle is well taken care of, though, it can re-emerge as a quality used offering at a place like Faraz Auto Sales. Luxury car buyers can avoid the loss of value by going with a used purchase. The used BMW models found on our lot are vetted for quality assurance and excellence. Our pricing is tough to beat, which is why we're the premier used BMW dealer in Toronto. Many of our used BMW models are lease trades, which are leased by the owner from the dealership as new vehicles and then traded back in when the lease expires. That original lease owner took the hit in depreciation and, as part of the lease agreement, was required to have high-quality maintenance and care of the vehicle. Otherwise, no trade-in would have been given and the owner would have been required to pay the rest of the loan up front.
Many used BMW models sell for about half their new price at only three or four years of age. A used BMW X3, for example, can be purchased as a used BMW in Toronto for about half its new price and at Faraz Auto Sales, we know that a 5-Series sedan or X5 is a statement-making vehicle that we can get you into for far less than it cost new. Yet the vehicle will look new and luxurious because that's basically what it is.
At Faraz Auto Sales, we work hard to make sure that all of our used BMW inventory is as top of the heap as we can make them. These vehicles are already vetted for problems while under factory warranty and we ensure that recalls and other issues have been dealt with as well. Full service and maintenance are done and a complete work-over to find any issues and fix them has been made. Any used BMW in Toronto sold by Faraz Auto Sales is definitely as good as it can be.Most experts agree that a well-maintained used vehicle is usually better than a near-zero-miles new vehicle because it's already had its problems ironed out. At Faraz Auto Sales, we can get you into the best used BMW you can find and make sure you're happy all the way through the process. Come see our inventory today.
When it comes to used BMW in Toronto, Faraz Auto Sales offers a large inventory of used luxury cars in our large indoor showroom. If you want a used vehicle shopping experience like no other come visit us at 96 Signet Drive, Toronto.
Every BMW vehicle in our inventory is hand selected for overall condition and quality. This means that our customers can rest assured that they are getting the best vehicle possible for their money. Whether you are searching for a used BMW 3 series, 4 Series, 5 Series, M Series, or X Series in the GTA, our used car dealership has the vehicle you will want to drive again and again.
When it comes time to purchase we can work with you to ensure that you get a used car loan that suits your needs and your budget. Stop in and speak with our friendly and knowledgeable staff about any questions you may have. Over the years we've helped unite countless drivers from Brampton, Mississauga, North York, and Scarborough with their ultimate BMW model. We look forward to serving your used vehicle needs in the future!
Faraz Auto Sales of Toronto sell only the highest quality "gently-used" luxury vehicles. Along with BMW, they also carry an excellent selection of used Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Acura, and Volkswagens vehicles. Plus, every vehicle on the Faraz lot undergoes a rigorous bumper-to-bumper inspection.
Faraz finance specialists know the lending market inside-and-out. They explore every option and find the best possible terms for every budget and situation. Faraz Auto financing couldn't be easier with in-person and on-line applications.
Their updated and easy to navigate website lets buyers find their perfect used BMW from the convenience of their own home, any time, day or night. Every listing on the Faraz Auto website includes detailed vehicle information, photos, a video presentation, and even financing information. Buyers know what to expect before they ever set foot in the Faraz showroom.
No other used vehicles offer buyers the incredible level of luxury, style, and performance as does BMW. No other dealer in Canada offers the same selection of high quality, gently-used, luxury vehicles as Faraz Auto. Their extensive selection, commitment to excellence, and easy financing make Faraz Auto Sales the number one used car dealer in Toronto, and all of Canada, as well.

How we're advancing women and families in 2015!
When women succeed, we all succeed. But right now, women are making less than men for the same work, can't take a day off if they're sick, and are getting paid a sub-minimum wage in the majority female service industry. We held a call with progressive leaders across the country on what we can do to fix these problems in 2015.
