Well, need to throw the news out now to get to Q4.
Decided to throw the exchange course and Kyoto Stock Exchange in there again.
Hope the pics work.

I have sent a note to the Russians indicating that I wish to buy the northern half of the Island we call Karafuto and they call Sake... Saca... Sachu-something. I got the go ahead from the Bakufu to purchase the southern part of Sakla... Karafuto on the condition that I am successful in buying the northern part of the island from the Russians.
I shall rename it Yayoshima and it will be home to ‘Yayo-land’, the greatest amusement park in the world! And I am doing it all for you, my loyal fans who live in all the corners of the world!
^_^
Now I will just have to sit and wait...

A small group of explorers from JASEO have been searching in vain for the cavern this season where the strange ring object was located. Lots of money wasted for absolutely nothing at all.
One of the major problems the exploration group (and all other groups before them) encountered is the ever-changing landscape around them.
One explorer told AWNR: “The weather is hostile and it is hard to find ones way through the wastelands of the Antarctic. Frostbite and Hypothermia are your biggest enemies here and on a landmass like this, made of snow and ice, maps are useless. One feature that is there one season, could be gone next season and vice versa. Some higher up want the base manned 365 days a year, but that is physically unachievable as conditions in the winter are even worse than what they are during the summer. I doubt that it will ever be possible for humans to man an Antarctic base throughout the year.”
Extraction from Antarctica was especially hazardous this year due to the bad weather as well as it was later than normal that the team left. One man broke his arm as he almost fell into a crevasse just before departure and another was swept into the Ross Sea. With great difficulty, others managed to reach him by boat and pull him out of the icy water.

(Introducing the most dangerous kind of human that exists in the Wesworld: The Fashion Designer! O_O)
A huge change as the Mikasa runs into Yokosuka Naval Base: we’re missing something blue among all the dark blue men on the deck. Instead it’s... well... a change in wardrobe, I guess. This means that the rumors which I have heard last month are true and that Captain Togo Ryoko has indeed visited the well-known fashion designer from Chosen, Nyouh-Fah Shohn. He is also responsible for my wardrobe.
I guess that if this is true, then the rumors that Captain Nishiyama Aiko, of the HIJMS Miyazawa Yukino and Captain Kusumoto Isami of the HIJMS Sakura Tsubaki wear the same uniform as Ryoko-chan these days are true as well...
Nyouh-Fah Shohn: Not true! Not true! Currently, captain Nishiyama and captain Kusumoto wear the
summer uniform while captain Togo still wears the
winter uniform.
Akaibara Yayoko: That’s a new one. There is a summer and winter uniform for them?
NFS: Definitely, but captain Togo just came back from a trip to the north, so winter uniform would be more appropriate for that cold area, don’t you think?
AY: I guess... (does that really matter??)
NFS: Captain Togo wears a uniform especially designed by me. Ms. Raquelle Kasull here shows you exactly how it looks like
http://www.yale.edu/anime/imgarchive/Scrapped%20Princess/design-raquelle.gif
AY: O_O ... hmmmmm... dunno... looks a bit... questionable to me... Doesn’t look like... Navy to me...
NFS: Not Navy?! What’s
that supposed to mean?!
AY: It just doesn’t have this... It just doesn’t radiate ‘Navy’... (I wonder what navies across the world are thinking. Probably something like “What kind of idiot designed that!?”)
NFS: *making notes* ... This is the summer uniform, shown here by Ms. Misumaru Yurika.
http://www.yale.edu/anime/imgarchive/nadesico/kica-325-cover-m.jpg
AY: O_O *cough, cough* Seems more outrageous than the previous one...
NFS: You
really know how to hurt my feelings, Yayoko-kun.
AY: I know. I’m very good at that. :-)
NFS: *making more notes* ... Now this one is the uniform for the special occasions, presented by Miss Pacifica Kasull.
http://www.yale.edu/anime/imgarchive/Scrapped%20Princess/design-pacifica.gif
AY: O_O You have got to be kidding me!! *chuckles* Ryoko-chan will
never wear something like
that!
NFS: Yes, it was truly impossible to convince her to accept this uniform as well. But captain Nishiyama and captain Kusumoto didn’t seem to object to it...
AY: *shakes head* (There goes our proud navy. Ruined by a fashion designer! The day that he starts to design the uniforms for the men as well is the day the Imperial Navy become the laughing stock of the World!!!)
NFS: By the way, I also took some time to design something for you as well.
AY: You did? How nice of you! :-)
NFS: Miss Mitsurugi Meiya is here to present it.
http://sigir-kusukusu.web.infoseek.co.jp/pictures/meiya1gallery1.jpg
AY: O_O Wow! I like it a lot... Purple and white? You really think white is my color, don’t you? You seem to put this color in a lot of my clothes these days.
NFS: I do and please don’t change its color to red like you did with that beautiful gown last year.
AY: I... it was an accident. ^_^;;
NFS:
Accident?! All that blood! You know how hard it is to remove bloodstains?! Even with Shohn Special Washing Powder!? [commercial mode on]*holds up box*
Shohn Special Washing Powder. The number one choice washing powder recommended by high society fashion designers. If the fashion designers use it, why are you not using it now? It is really cheap at a mere 2 yen per box of 200 grams. Removes most stains know to mankind.
AY: ... except
blood.
NFS: [commercial mode off] ... except blood.
AY: My job is full of risks. Unfortunately lots of blood is one of them. ^_^;;
NFS: *Grabs Yayoko and shakes her violently back and forth*
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!! I put so much time and a lot of money into it
just for you! Treat it like you treat your swords! You do value your swords don’t you? After all one is a Masamune and the other a Muramasa. They’re priceless weapons.
AY: x_x ... b... but my swords... get bloody a lot of times... :-(
NFS:
NO BLOOD!!!
AY: O_O Kowai!!
(Scary!!) I can’t make any promises you know... by the way, what do you call “a lot of money”? What do I need to pay you. I remember that gown costing me an arm and a leg.
NFS: Twelve thousand.
AY: Yens? That’s not too bad...
NFS: When I talk about a lot, I’m talking about Ryos.
AY: *
KABOOM*
Twelve thousand Ryo?! You think the gold grows on my back!?!
NFS: I used the finest materials available,
just for you. Besides it’s for five of them.
AY: ... (can’t you give me a discount?)
NFS: ... (Ten thousand. No less)
AY: ... (still quite a lot)
NFS: ... (Alright! Eight. Bottom price)
AY: ... (You got a deal).
NFS: ... (You won’t regret it. Nyouh-Fah Shohn quality. The best there is).
AY: I guess... I’ll go home... and try it out.
NFS: Excellent!!
(OOC note: Ryo is roughly 5 dollars US in 1928 so it’s about 40,000 USD. Using the Inflation calculator to convert that price from 1928 to 2005, it would be about 426,500 USD)
Nyouh-Fah Shohn.
The best quality clothes available in the Wesworld...
... At
ridiculous prices.
... Washing powder
not included.
Saturday April 7, 1928
Feeling new and refreshed with this new set of clothes.
... Guess Nyouh-Fah Shohn will kill me should I get blood on it. ^_^;;
Nah! He doesn’t have the guts for that. Still, I should be careful. I normally wear black since the bloodstains don’t show up on that.
1,000 Ryo per outfit. Shohn’s good, but his prices seem to becoming higher with every new outfit I get or order. Still, 1,600 Ryo is not as much as the 3,500 Ryo for that Dress I ruined last year.
(Good thing the bounties pay well and I still have great luck in the casinos ^_^)

AY: Great! I am here outside Professor Tomoe’s Infinity Lab to see one of his great inventions. -_-;;
PT:
8D Indeed it is.
AY: Tell us about it.
PT:
8D This device I am about to show you is based on the works of the Germans Christian Hülsmeyer and Richard Scherl as well as that of Americans Breit and Tuve.
AY: So to be honest, it is not an original idea of yours.
PT:
8D ... no.
AY: So, why are you bragging about it as if it is your own idea?
PT:
8D I
improved their work!
AY: ... (very questionable; more likely you stole it.)
PT:
BD You were saying?
AY: I was wondering what it does.
PT:
8D It sends out waves. These waves hit something and they are reflected back to the device. This way, ships can locate other ships or aeroplanes trying to attack it. I call it... *drum roll* ...
PT:
8D *With echoing voice* The Tomoe Tele Raypointer!
*Trumpet Fanfare as PT pulls sheet away to reveal really huge object*
AY: O_O ... ehm...
PT:
8D Well?
AY: Don’t you think it should be... a tiny bit smaller than this?
PT:
8D Why? Bigger is better!
AY: Why?! This... thingy-pointer is
bigger than the Hood, Lexington
and Saratoga put together!!
PT:
8D Your point being?
AY: Isn’t it obvious?! How the hell do you plan to fit a thing onto a ship that is
much, much bigger than the ship itself!?!
PT:
BD ...
AY: Well?
PT:
8D *sigh* back to the drawing board... again...
(OOC: ‘8D’ is the professor’s expression (gleaming glasses and big smile); note the change in the professor’s expression)
