Jürgen Klopp has attempted to address Liverpool's defensive problems by reaching a pre-contract agreement with Joël Matip, the Schalke defender.
The 24-year-old will move to Anfield on July 1 on a four year deal after announcing he will leave his boyhood club where he is closing in on 250 appearances.
The signing is a significant one for Klopp, who targeted Matip as a player who could offer pace and height to an area of the Liverpool team which has been regularly criticised since Brendan Rodgers's reign as manager.
Matip is expected to be the first of several incoming transfers made by Klopp who will be allowed by owners Fenway Sports Group to have the first and last say on recruitment.
Schalke were desperate to keep hold of Matip and were prepared to make him their highest paid player with a new deal, ahead of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Instead, the German-born Cameroonian international of 27 caps, who started his career in Schalke's first team as a central midfielder, has decided to progress his career on Merseyside where he will join teenager Marko Grujić, who agreed his transfer from Red Star Belgrade in January before heading back to Serbia for the rest of the current campaign on loan.
"I have always said that I would only leave Schalke for one reason: to get to know something new," Matip said. "I never even considered a move within the Bundesliga.
"Although my decision is definitely not easy, I am convinced that now is the right time to take this step.
"Schalke will remain a big family for me. I was always proud to play for this great club.
"I will do everything in the next few months to get the most out of this season so I do not feel guilty."
At the end of 2015, Matip was named as the fifth best centre half in the Bundesliga by the respected German football magazine, Kicker. Matip was nominated behind Bayern Munich trio Jerome Boateng, David Alaba and Javi Martínez, as well as Wolfsburg's Naldo.
He might not be the only Schalke player departing for Liverpool, who have sent scouts to watch Leroy Sané on several occasions since Klopp's appointment.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder who can also play as a winger, has flourished this season after being given extra creative responsibilities since the sale of Julian Draxler to Wolfsburg last summer.
Klopp has been analysing potential targets with the required speed in wide areas that can help him implement the type of counter-attacking football associated with Borussia Dortmund during his successful time there.

The madness comes to an end and Ghana go home after so much promise, but none of it kept. Following a few of the strangest, most turbulent days even by the standards of this World Cup, they exited the tournament limply, all the while churning up uncomfortable issues about African teams at the competition.
On the field, a side with so much potential, their problems over appearance fees have cast a soulless shadow over their efforts. Indeed on the previous occasion he stood before the press, manager Kwesi Appiah talked about the issue of Fifa not paying fees to associations until during the World Cup, players not trusting associations to pay if not before a World Cup, and how governments are forced to intervene or chaos encroaches.
It's a sentiment he reiterated after their 2-1 defeat yesterday. "It resulted in the team not training on Tuesday," he noted. "As to the amount they were paid, it's not an issue that should interest anyone. What the players requested was paid. But no coach wants to be in such a situation." All of that meant there was little room to delve into the sending home of Kevin-Prince Boateng for abusing him and Sulley Muntari for allegedly slapping an association member in the face during a meeting. "At this level you look at a team, not the players, and that's why the decision was taken this morning," Appiah said of the suspensions. "But if you want to build and restore discipline, it's important to set things right."
As for the Portuguese, much like their play, their exit was much more hum-drum and predictable. "But the match was one we tried to win and we did," said Cristiano Ronaldo trying to see the bright side of what amounted to a dull failure. "We created many opportunities but we could not finish them. But the winner at the end showed it was important to us. We deserved more but that's football. We are leaving with our heads held high." The same can't be said for their opponents.Reuse content

BUSINESS PEOPLE; Fifth Partner Is Added By Forstmann Little
By Daniel F. Cuff and Thomas J. Lueck
Published: January 29, 1987
Forstmann Little & Company, one of the most successful practitioners of the art of the leveraged buyout, has taken on a fifth general partner, the firm said yesterday.
The new partner is Steven B. Klinsky, 30, who has been an associate partner at the firm for a little over two years. Mr. Klinsky joins Theodore J. Forstmann, 46; W. Brian Little, 44; Nicholas C. Forstmann, 40, and John A. Sprague, 34.
The private Manhattan-based investment firm has put together buyouts of such companies as Dr Pepper, Topps Chewing Gum, FL Industries, Sybron, Midland-Ross and Lear Siegler, the last a $2.1 billion acquisition that closed on Tuesday. In a leveraged buyout, financing is raised by borrowing against the assets of the company to be acquired, and the resulting debt requirements are met with funds from the company's operations and often from the sale of some assets.
Mr. Klinsky spent three years learning the leveraged buyout business at Goldman, Sachs & Company before Forstmann invited him to join the firm.
He may not be very old, he said, but ''the whole field of leveraged buyouts is not that fantastically old,'' adding, ''I've been able to grow a little bit with the growth of the industry.''
He grew up in a business atmosphere. His father was president of Albert's, a women's retail apparel chain that the family sold to Interco. His grandfather started the business with one store, and it had grown to nearly 100 stores before the family sold it.
Mr. Klinsky, who is from the Detroit area, went to the University of Michigan and finished in two and a half years. Then he went to the Harvard business and law schools in a joint program that allowed him to complete both in four years.
Mr. Klinsky said he had no regrets that the family business was sold. ''It's a tough business,'' he said. ''They sold it while I was in business school, with my blessing.''
At Forstmann Little, he worked on the Midland-Ross deal and is said to have played a key role in the Lear Siegler acquisition. ''All the partners work on all the transactions,'' he said.
Mr. Klinsky, a bachelor, lives in New York and after work hours, he said, enjoys restaurants, the theater, movies and tennis.

This is a two-parter. In Chapter 1, right before the wheel that leads to the sheep, there's a bird cage that needs to be opened. Do that, and free the bird. Then, in Chapter 4, immediately before the hang-glider, there's a telescope that's impossible to miss. Look in the telescope, and zoom in on the lower-right. There will be two birds chilling out on a branch, and the Achievement will pop.

The central bank's controversial bidding of a P2.6-billion printing machine hit a new snag and the purchase of the superline printer has been stalled.
Sources said the Monetary Board has deferred any decisions that would resolve the issues forwarded by two currency printers which participated in the bidding – Switzerland-based KBA-Giori and Komori of Japan.
The pre-bidding was held last December 4. Sources said Giori was the favored bidder by parties close to the office of the governor however Kimori is not yet out of the race.
The BSP was intending to conduct negotiated bidding for the new printer but the Monetary Board ordered that the transaction be open to a bidding instead.
Giori, formerly De La Rue Giori, is 50 percent owned by German printing company Koenig & Bauer. De La Rue prints the UK currency.
Komori is the exclusive printer for Japan's National Printing Bureau and for the Ministry of Finance. A team of BSP officials recently visited several Kimori printing facilities in the region.
The decision to buy a superline printer, replacing the 1976 and 1983 printers in the Quezon City printing complex, was approved in 2007. The BSP was supposed to buy a set of printing equipment for banknotes, including an offset press, intaglio press, numbering and finishing press.

Permanent Water-Guard is a solvent free, water-based fluorocarbon polymer water and stain repellent. It dries odor free and without U-V brighteners.
Guaranteed to remain effective even after 25 washings in Sport-Wash or Sensi-Clean. This is an extraordinary claim no other product is willing to make -- not even factory-applied Durable Water Repellents.
The NEW 10 oz. Aerosol is engineered for synthetic materials and blends like polyester, Microfibers, Nylon, Gore-Tex , Waterproof Breathables, Laminated or Coated, Fleece, Polypropylene, Blends, and Imitation Leather. If used on absorbent materials a second treatment may be required.
I bought the Atsko Permanent Water Guard to extend the life of my Flip diaper covers. Several of the original covers that I purchased were being wet through regularly, though they were in okay condition otherwise (and the insert wasn't even very wet, so I knew that it was a cover issue and not an absorbency issue). It took two applications of the Atsko Water Guard before I noticed a major difference, but I can use those covers again at home, during the day. This product isn't going to make your diapers "good as new," but if you are looking for a way to extend the life of your diapers, this is a great solution.

Not that i'm planning, but what happens if I were to get pregnant after a tummy tuck procedure? Will it cause more harm or would the tummy tuck help? Would I need another tummy tuck?
Can I Get Pregnant After a Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 59
Pregnancy after tummy tuck is safe
This is a great question! There used to be concern that tightening the abdominal wall muscles would prevent the abdomen from stretching during subsequent pregnancy. We know now that this is not the case and you can expect a normal pregnancy after a tummy tuck.
Having said that, you may require another tummy tuck to restore your shape. For this reason, plastic surgeons recommend you have this surgery only after you are finished having children.
Good Luck!
You can get pregnant after a tummy tuck
Yes, although not ideal...Most women undergo a tummy tuck after they've finished having children. Life plans do change, however. I have a patient who is currently pregnant after she had a tummy tuck 5 years prior. Her baby is healthy at 7 months...but she looks like she is about 4 months pregnant. I think the abdominal wall doesn't stretch out forward as much after a tummy tuck. That's one example!
Will she need another tummy tuck? Less likely.
One can get pregnant after a tummy tuck!
Routinely, when a patient undergoes a tummy tuck, the excess skin is removed and the underlying muscle fascia tighten. Of course, no surgery is performed within the abdominal cavity. Because of that, a woman can certainly go thorough a normal pregnancy and deliver a healthy child after having a tummy tuck before.

Tummy tuck pregnancy: wait until after children
The baby will make it's own space in a patient who has had a tummy tuck, but the surgery may need to be redone. If women are planning on having a baby now or soon, it is not advisable to have a tummy tuck. However, if they are "done" with children but can't rule out getting pregnant in the future, it is usually reasonable to have a tummy tuck.
The safest way to avoid needing a major tummy tuck is to avoid excessively large weight gains during pregnancy-- easier said than done, I know. However when patients learn how beneficial it is for both mother and baby to have a healthy pregnancy (less risk of diabetes, difficult pregnancies, not to mention keeping your figure), it makes the struggle worthwhile. Many fit moms in our practice avoid needing a full tummy tuck and have hybrid tummy tucks instead (short incision, full fascial tightening), the payoff for their hard work.
Pregnancy after tummy tuck
You may end up permanently stretching the tightened tissue out especially if you get real large or have twins. We do not recommend pregnancy after tummy tuck for this reason. I have taken care of several patients who became pregnant after tummy tuck (for whatever reason) and looked almost normal after pregnancy.
If you are planning on being pregnant in the next year, you should hold off on the tummy tuck.
During an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) the rectus fascia (the layer covering your six-pack) is tightened to flatten out your belly inside. The extra skin is then removed to flatten out your belly outside. If you were to become pregnant soon after having the abdominoplasty, then all of the tissues would stretch and you may well end up close to where you started. So, if you are planning on being pregnant in the next year or so, my recommendation would be to hold off on the abdominoplasty. However, if there are no plans in the works, then go for it. You many need a mini-abdominoplasty in the future, but don't deny yourself the benefits of having the procedure now - if you do really need it.
Pregnancy after Tummy Tuck is okay
The short answer: Yes, you can get pregnant after a tummy tuck.
All plastic surgeons will advise you to be done with babies before doing a tummy tuck. Why? When we do a tummy tuck we tighten your muscles and your skin. When you are pregnant you loosen your muscles and stretch your skin. Whatever prompted you to do the tummy tuck in the first place, will recur:
- diastasis (loosening of the muscles)
- stretch marks
- hanging skin
When you are already stretched out and want a tummy tuck, your pregnancy is a freebie- you already want to fix your belly, and you are essentially "pre-stretched."
But if life circumstance makes you choose pregnancy after you have been tummy tucked, know we can try to put you back together again.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) and subsequent Pregnancy
Ideally, a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) should be done AFTER you are done having children.
During each pregnancy the tummy six pack muscles are separated and pushed to the sides. This separation (diastasis) is permanent and cannot be improved with diet or exercise. During a Tummy Tuck, the muscles are brought back together and the separation is corrected resulting in a flatter tummy.
Although a Tummy Tuck will not prevent you from getting pregnant, ANY subsequent pregnancy will slowly separate the muscles, recreating the pooch you had before the Tummy Tuck and you may need a more complicated re-do Tummy Tuck to bring the muscles together again.
Dr. P. Aldea
Can you get pregnant after a Tummy Tuck?
This is a common question i get i asked and the answer is.. yes of course you can. A Tummy Tuck will not stop you from getting pregnant and most importantly will not prevent your tummy from growing during pregnancy. A tummy tuck will not complicate or cause harm to future pregnancies. Most people tend to undergo a Tummy Tuck after they have completed having children and this is certainly my recommendation.
Will the pregnancy ruin the tummy tuck results? The answer is "it depends." If you put on a significant amount of weight 20kg+ during the pregnancy you will have to expect some "damage" to the results.
So if you happen to fall pregnant after a Tummy Tuck you want to aim for sensible healthy weight gain. it is best to see a nutritionist and personal trainer experienced with pregnant women to give yourself the best chance of a healthy safe pregnancy, and less likely to undo any of the results achieved with a tummy tuck.

Noah Graham/NBAE/Getty Images
Ronny Turiaf posted 13 points and four assists.
SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 7 (AP) -- Despite his limited playing time and a sub-par shooting percentage, Sasha Vujacic says he's never lacking in confidence.
And that's a good thing, since a shooter must have that kind of mentality.
Vujacic had his best game in three NBA seasons Sunday night, scoring a career-high 16 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 28.5 seconds left, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat Dallas 101-98 to snap the Mavericks' 13-game winning streak.
Vujacic missed all five shots he attempted Friday night against Denver, dropping his shooting percentage to 37.4 percent, including 31 percent from 3-point range. He shot 6-of-7 against the Mavericks, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc.
"Always, always,'' the 22-year-old Slovenian guard said regarding his confidence level. "My teammates found me for open shots. I just wanted to take the responsibility.
"It feels great. The beginning of the season, I didn't start well. I just want to be more consistent, show the coach he can trust me.''
Vujacic entered averaging 3.7 points in 11.4 minutes while playing in 27 of the Lakers' 32 games. He played the entire fourth quarter and a total of 19 minutes against the Mavericks.
"I'm really happy for Sasha, how well he played tonight,'' said Kobe Bryant, who scored 14 of his 26 points in the final period and also had eight rebounds and six assists.
"He comes in off the bench and always plays extremely well defensively, even when he's not shooting well,'' Bryant said. "I'm proud of him. He's taken his lumps here, the fans have been pretty hard on him. He's a tough kid, he doesn't back down, he's not lacking in confidence.''
Luke Walton had 21 points and six assists for the Lakers, who presented coach Phil Jackson with his 900th victory.
"It's a compliment to all the players I've had - the great players, the great teams and the great runs that we've had,'' Jackson said. "It's become a game in which us elderly guys are now coaching, which was an age that coaches didn't extend themselves into when I was a player. It says something about the longevity of coaches now.''
The 61-year-old Jackson ranks ninth on the NBA's all-time wins list, and became the fastest to reach 900, doing so in 1,264 games. Former Lakers coach Pat Riley accomplished the feat in 1,278 games.
"Nine hundred wins is remarkable,'' Bryant said. "I can't even fathom 900 games. It was special.''
Dirk Nowitzki's jumper with 42 seconds remaining gave the Mavericks a 98-97 lead, but Vujacic's long jumper put the Lakers ahead for good. A free throw by Walton with 10.6 seconds to play completed the scoring.
Devean George, a former Laker, missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer with 4 seconds left, and Bryant got the rebound. Time expired before the Mavericks were able to commit a foul.
The win was the fourth straight for the Lakers (23-11), who played without injured starters Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown. The loss was just the fourth in the last 31 games for the Mavericks, whose 27-8 record is the best in the NBA.
Nowitzki had 29 points and 13 rebounds, Josh Howard had 20 points and nine rebounds, and Jerry Stackhouse scored 14 for the Mavericks.
"Kobe basically took over the game, had some great shots,'' Nowitzki said. "But really, I think it was the Vujacic guy. Those were points you don't expect. He was hot - he made big 3s for them.''
The Lakers shot 39-of-71 (55 percent) to 38-of-90 (42 percent) for the Mavericks.
"We didn't have our normal fourth quarter,'' said Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, whose team was outscored 33-21 in the final period. "Everything we tried on them in the fourth quarter didn't work.''
Two free throws by Jason Terry with 1:29 to play gave the Mavericks a 96-92 lead, but Bryant made a three-point play with 1:21 left and two free throws with 55.9 seconds to go, giving the Lakers their first lead since the second quarter.
Nowitzki put the Mavericks on top one final time before Vujacic came through, taking a pass from Walton.
Notes: The Mavericks, who won 12 straight games after losing their first four, are the 20th team in NBA history with two double-figure winning streaks in the same season. The only team to accomplish the feat faster was the 1971-72 Lakers, who had a pair of 11-game streaks in their first 31 games. ... Odom sprained a ligament in his right knee Dec. 12, and Brown sprained his right ankle Dec. 31. Both are expected to be sidelined at least two more weeks. ... The Mavericks' latest winning streak began Dec. 13, when they beat the Lakers 110-101 in Dallas. That was the last time the Mavericks allowed an opponent to reach 100 points until this game. ... The Mavericks are 31-2 during the past two seasons when Howard scores at least 20. ... George played his first seven NBA seasons with the Lakers before signing with Dallas last summer. He scored nine points in 20 minutes.

Texting while driving is unfortunately commonplace on the road. Over the past few years, I have been training myself to have patience and understand that these common tasks (checking email, texting, changing what I'm listening to in the car) can wait. It is certainly better to put this into practice sooner than later, as I do not want to learn the hard way.
In this 35 minute sobering documentary "From One Second To The Next," filmmaker Werner Herzog's shares the stories of lives who have been affected by texting and driving. Part of AT&T's It Can Wait campaign, this project is currently being distributed to high schools across the country.

Craftsman-Turned-Cafe With Authentic Character
Ada's Technical Books & Cafe occuppies a remodeled home in the Capital Hill neighborhood of Seattle. The impetus for the project was to create the "book retailer of the future." Achieving this vision required an adaptive reuse design, an addition and a pioneering approach to the neighborhood bookstore. The challenge would be to convert a dilapidated single-story Craftsman into a refurbished mixed-use project. The owners were dedicated to creating a balance of history and modern sustainability, so architect Jeff Pelletier imagined the building like an aged book cover with crisp, clean pages on the inside. In order to connect the space with the street-scape, Pelletier added a raised front porch for cafe seating.
Barista Bar Features Salvaged Wood
All existing framing lumber was salvaged and used to accent the bookshelves, product display shelves, cafe bar, point of sale, bakery case and overhead storage. The warm wood pops against the cafe's crisp white walls.
Cafe Entry With Reclaimed Wood Barista Bar
The first decision was to choose to remodel the existing structure rather than tear it down. It was important to preserve the character and focus on the sustainable opportunities and inherent embodied energy. As much lumber as possible was salvaged and used throughout the space, such as here at the barista bar.
Cafe & Bookstore in One
The bookstore and cafe are divided by a wide front-to-back hallway, keeping the spaces distinct but cohesive. The high ceiling, skylights and playful mobile draw your eyes around the space. The clean white backdrop complements the salvaged elements in the design.
Lighted Partition Wall Separates Bookstore From Cafe
A lighted partition wall and wide hallway separate the bookstore section from the cafe section. The low-energy LED lights in the wall play beautifully off the aged lumber used throughout the space.
Salvaged Doors Create Separation Wall in Creative Cafe
To divide the bookstore and cafe spaces, salvaged doors form a partition which wraps an acrylic sheet core that's lit from within. Just like the exterior, this wall has the new wrapped by the old. The LED lights add a playful splash of color and movement to the space.
Bright Cafe Dining Area Boasts Fun, Colorful LED Lights
A high ceiling and skylights flood this cafe's dining area with natural light. Sustainable LED lights fade between colors, which adds a continual sense of movement to the space.
Custom Mobile Dangles Above Cafe Dining Area
Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves add texture and interest to the contemporary cafe. A high ceiling with skylights floods the space with natural light, illuminating the custom mobile that floats above the dining area.
Custom Tables and Paper Mobile Give Cafe Personality
The custom mobile dangling above the cafe eating area was created using vintage technical manuals and architectural drawings. The cafe tables utilize the shorter lengths of scrap timber to showcase scientific objects arranged under glass.
Stylish Bookstore With Reclaimed Wood Bookshelves
Whatever could be salvaged and reused was incorporated into the new design. The use of reclaimed wood throughout creates an inviting space for browsing, reading, exploring and dining. Overall, there was a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the project, with low greenhouse gas emissions related to construction and transportation of materials.
Bookstore Boasts Vintage Wood Mantel
Architect Jeff Pelletier was able to utilize more than 60 percent of the original structure for building reuse, including the wood mantel, which adds warmth and character to the overall space. The design takes advantage of the high ceilings with shelves that climb the wall, providing extra storage for back-stock books.
Ada's Technical Books & Café
David and Danielle Hulton opened a bookstore named for Ada Lovelace, a pioneering woman in the fields of math and science. They wanted to relocate and knew that having a unique approach to the project was going to be key to the bookstore's success. Retail can be a tough nut to crack, and to build a sustaining community of customers would be important.

I LOVE this comment Nick for two reasons: You quoted John W. Nordstrom, but mostly because I was having this very debate with Mitch Joel yesterday. After I wrote this, he blogged that it's not about the comments and some bloggers write just to write. Which I get. But if you're trying to build community as one of your blogging goals, it definitely is a together scenario.
Apr 7 Posted 6 years ago
Hi Monique! I guess it depends on the blogger or tweeter. I know it's difficult for me to find new people to interact with on Twitter, but if you tweet me first, you can guarantee I'll respond. When I started out, I found people that were integral to our business and found a common language in order to approach them. It was a little intimidating at first, but it really worked. Some bloggers won't take the time and some will...just depends on their individual goals. My advice is to not be afraid to approach someone because they have lots of followers and find people whose thinking you like. I promise, in return, they'll want to learn more about you.

I've read things like these on many of the bigger social media blogs and always known it to be true. It seems an overwhelming task for a small blogger with a few readers commenting on the well established blogs sometimes. I often wonder if twitter followers who already have 20 thousand followers will have the time to engage with me or even see my mentions...

Nice post Gini, you're right, it's amazing how far some basic etiquette and consideration goes in building social communities. Reading your post reminded me of John W. Nordstrom, of Nordstrom department store fame, and one of his famous principles in the Nordstrom Way. 'Hire the smile, train the skill'
John W. Nordstrom obviously put a lot of value on 'good people skills and well mannered social behaviour'. Certainly the case if it was a founding factor in building his multi $billion empire.
I also agree on your point 'It's hard work and not for the faint of heart'. It takes commitment to get through the knocks and turns that come with opening up to a social community, either for yourself or building a community for a business. And ultimately, as you discussed with Angela above, it it's as much about listening (in comments and in Google analytics ;) as it is in doing the talking. Building a social community is a two way thing and it's not a 'them' and 'us' scenario. It's a 'together' scenario.

Completely agree, Angela! We actually have set up goals in Google analytics around our visitors and, because I'm a stats geek, LOVE to see the movement. Really like the additions you've made to the original recommendations.

Glad it was helpful, Pervara!

Superb Gini. Thanks for this post - great info.

Building a community -- whether online or off -- is necessary for success, but its difficult. I read somewhere that the companies who use social media most successfully are social. And I agree that being social, as you recommend, is really important for building a community. Its also important to understand your visitors. So, while you may no longer have time to send thank you notes for comments to your posts, its critically important to read each post so you understand what visitors have to say.
I also believe you should really watch your analytics, not just for the usual traffic building information such as where they're coming from and what keywords brought them there, but to really understand what they were searching for.
What you write also determines your ability to build community. Posts should focus on them, not on you. They should also provide value and fill a niche. I've just started building a community at http://LetsBlogforMoney.org to help people learn to blog by watching a new blog develop with every step documented and displayed. I involve visitors in every decision and have been fortuanate to have some very knowledgeable folks stop by to add or correct what I've been doing. I hope this community continues to grow and support each other.

chapter 2 page 3-4Mature
Even as they left their campsite she was looking back, as if she didn't want to leave it behind. She sighed as it dropped out of sight and turned her head back to the road, catching his stare as she did.
"What?" she asked bluntly.
"nothing," he smirked. He watched her eyes go flat and she turned away.
A few days after, they had passed into Albion. It was hours before they came across the remains of one of many battlefields that they would cross in their journey. Men lay mangled by steel or bled dry by arrow wounds. Some of them were charred beyond recognition. The carnage was evident along the highway. Of course, control of the road system would be of vital importance to both the crown and the rebellion.
William could tell that despite her outward visage of calm, this place disturbed her. He could feel her emotions leaking into him through her magic. Although she was powerful she had obviously never learnt the art of secrecy. He caught her eyes lingering on several corpses.
"Is this your first time seeing death?" he asked softly.
"No," she said spitefully, "but this is the first time i have seen such idiocy. Why? Why was all of this necessary? Wolves kill for food; other creatures kill to defend themselves or even their territory. But it is only ever a few, two packs of animals at most. How many lay dead here? Hundreds? Thousands? What madness inspired this?"
"Honestly," William felt, his voice catching in his throat as he felt the despair radiating from her, "i don't know."
Sir Dean Ambrose watched from his field fortifications as the battle progressed. Scouts and runners kept him informed of all the developments around the battlefield. This time the rebels would be smashed. They had showed themselves as heretics, embracing the ways of magic that had been solely limited to the sisterhood who, under the divine watch of Nilda, would not falter and fall into corruption.
Karenshire valley was not the most ideal site for a battle in his mind but it would have to do. The dissidents were using it to sneak men and supplies past Albion's patrols that, in their ignorance, feared the valley as cursed – something the rebels had used to their advantage. Since not many patrols returned from the valley the rebels had used the curse to cover their murders in a shroud of superstition. Well, he thought, that trick ended today.
He commanded Albion's royal lions detachment. Three hundred fully armed knights on horseback, another five hundred on foot and six hundred trained longbow men. Trebuchets had been deployed along the eastern side of the valley to provide fire support along with the longbow men with another cavalry regiment belonging to the hawk detachment on its way. The terrain was dense at the centre of the valley, choked with trees that barely scraped their existence from the infertile ground... so the use of missile fire was limited.
