Summary
Cicero was dangerous, there was no question about that. A sweet wine which sneaks up behind you and knocks you out before you even feel the vapors of intoxication.
Best to be avoided.-
He watched her study him with the same concentration that he had her. Clever. Quiet. A well-practiced knife in the moonlight. She had not been drawn in by Astrid’s saccharine talk of family and would be equally resistant to his own malfeasance.
She should be watched closely.- Language:

Summary
Germany and Italy have invited Switzerland and Canada to dinner as thanks for the help they have provided as interpreters for EU meetings. Switzerland, it must be said, is less than thrilled at the prospect of spending the entire meal translating across three languages and relying on Canada to communicate in a fourth. Yet even he is willing to admit that a small attempt at normalcy -- if only for part of an evening -- is better than nothing at all. Sequel to In Hell, the Simultaneous Translators Are Swiss.

Summary
The Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking on 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10. It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations.[...]The geomagnetic storm was associated with a very bright solar flare on 1 September 1859. It was observed and recorded independently by British astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson—the first records of a solar flare. A geomagnetic storm of this magnitude occurring today has the potential to cause widespread electrical disruptions, blackouts and damage due to extended cuts of the electrical power grid.
