KRS-124 returns to Bozo River as Imperial Naval Forces complete Standdown
Fleets return to ports
The Imperial Navy has returned to normal operations following the completion of the stand down following the end of the Schismatic Crisis. His Imperial Majesty's Minister of Defense, Col. Calvin Velasco has reported that both the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan and the Empire of Luthori have completed their compliance according to the articles of agreement reached in Gaduridos, and negotiated by the Gaduri King, His Majesty, King Victor de Valorico, and Kalistani ships have returned to their barracks.
"The Alert which governed the operations and leave and liberty of our sailors if fully lifted," said Velasco in a brief news conference. "We will spend the next few months refitting and cleaning our ships, and send any ships that need repairs to either Kaliburg or Bozo River. Once ships are restocked and refitted, they will commence their normal patrols, and standard orders of the day."
Kalistanis have welcomed the return of peace to the region, and have demonstrated their support by increasing consumer spending. At the same time, money is flooding back into securities, as the price of oil futures drops in Kalistani markets. "Security is bad for profitability among nations who live off of oil revenues and little else," said Joan Crystal, a market analyst at the KalSiE. "5736 was a great year for petrostates. Barring some major disruption in supply, or some dramatic increase in demand which is not realistic, 5737 won't be so good for them." Meanwhile, investment money moved toward institutional funds, like Miramar, who have increased investment overseas, especially in Xsampa, major infrastructure related companies like SSI, and nationalized companies like KalMilInCo.
House Ananto announces new Babies for Royal Family
House Ananto has announced that the Princess Consort is once more expecting a child. "The Royal Family will once more welcome a new child into the world, as Her Highness, Princess Consort Casey Leigh-Campbell is expecting her fourth child," said a press release from House Ananto. "The Princess is in good health and happy spirits, and she and the Emperor are looking forward to the new addition to the family." According to the press release, the Consort is about a month into her pregnancy and the pregnancy was confirmed by doctors before the family left Athosia late last month.
The Royal Family already has three children, the Minor Princesses Nicolette and Bonnie, ages 7 and 6 respectively, and the Minor Prince Mark, who was born in December of 5733, and is just a little over 3. House Ananto said the Princess Consort and the Emperor may try to have at least one more child in their thirties, but "They would like to see how this term goes before setting their minds on any additional Children." The release added that this new addition will also come after the birth of Her Highness Princess Victoria Ananto-Rosenfeld's first child which is due in early October. "Princess Victoria said she and her husband, Baron Miguel Coronado-Ruz are excited about their own new addition, and are reportedly happy to contribute to the supply of Anantos in the world. She jokes, but of course, we are also very happy for Vicki as well. 5737 will be a great year for our family, and for all of Terra, with all the new babies entering the world."
Princess Jennifer Ananto-Rosenfeld, head of House Ananto, remains unmarried, and says she has no intention of marrying or having children, because her role as head of House Ananto is a full time job in and of itself. She has dated but nothing serious ever developed as a result. Her Predecessor, Princess Melanie Ananto-McLinn also never married.
Xsampan Cotton changes fashion tastes
The recent influx of Xsampan Cotton fiber and finished textiles is having an effect on fashion, said Reny Torres of La Moda. "We are seeing a continuation of the move away from couture, definitely, as people are choosing more lightweight clothing, even for the cooler months. The looser, more casual, less tailored look is definitely in style right now, as clothing choices get a little more daring, and a lot of this is being driven by new textile options from Xsampa primarily."
Torres said that Del Valle Casuals had a record Spring buy in February following the Spring Fashion Show in Sulari, where new Cotton blends, with linen and hemp were premiered. "Cotton is more durable than linen, and the cotton linen blends offer that same durability with a light linen finish that people still very much love in this country. But its far lighter weight than wool, which is the standard fiber of winter fashion, and I think people like the softer texture of cotton."
Outer wear is still dominated by wool, but Torres also said there is some moved to a hemp and cotton blend. "Hemp is a heavier weight fiber than cotton, but it is a softer alternative to wool from normal sheep." said Torres. "Previously the softest wools were only for the highest end outerwear, which was out of the price range of normal consumers, but if they want a smoother finish, a cotton hemp blend might be the ticket to get the best of both worlds, the warmer aspects of the hemp with the softer finish of the cotton. Trading with Xsampa's cotton industry is opening up doors for fashion that were previously closed."
Torres added, "Despite the new availability within the price range of day to day consumers of cotton, Linen and wool remain far and away the preferred fiber, with hemp canvas and khaki preferred for work attire. These are areas that cotton will make inroads into in the future, but cotton will never replace homegrown, locally sourced fiber or fabrics completely. Kalistanis are creatures of habit, and while they may own own or two cotton items, which is a lot more than they owned two years ago, the vast majority will still be made of Kalistani made fabrics. So flax, hemp and wool producers aren't rushing to change the system overnight. We expect to see producers add some cotton to their products, but 100% pure cotton items are still far too expensive for day to day consumers to afford, because cotton is till a luxury item in Kalistan."
