Synopsis

The deepest historical, cultural and spiritual roots of Russian national identity can be found in an ancient kingdom known as Kievan Rus’, a state that flourished from the end of the 9th to the middle of the 13th century over a vast geographical area including a large part of today’s western Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, from the Baltic and White Seas in the north to the Black Sea coasts in the south.According to the Russian Primary Chronicle, the first ruler to start uniting East Slavic lands into what would become Kievan Rus’ was Prince Oleg (879-912). He extended his control from Novgorod south along the Dnieper river valley to protect trade from Khazar incursions from the east, and took control of the city of Kiev. Sviatoslav I (943-972) achieved the first major expansion of Kievan Rus’ territorial control, fighting a war of conquest against the Khazars. Vladimir the Great (980-1015) then introduced Christianity with his own baptism and, by decree, extended it to all inhabitants of Kiev and beyond. Kievan Rus’ reached its greatest extent under Yaroslav the Wise (1019-1054); his sons assembled and issued its first written legal code, the Russkaya Pravda, shortly after his death.

    Public and political interest in social entrepreneurship (SE) is increasing while it remains a contested and ambiguous concept. Philipp Kenel traces the popular media representation of SE in Germany over time (1999—2021), making an important empirical contribution to the sociological and political understanding of the phenomenon. He shows that until 2008, SE was mainly understood as a reform of the welfare infrastructure (including public and non-profit institutions). From 2009, SE was increasingly conceptualised as part of the economy, while sometimes challenging and other times reaffirming mainstream economic logics. More recently, in somewhat competing perspectives, SE has been framed as part of the ›start-up‹ world or as a force for deeper social and ecological transformation.

    Every writer has a secret monster: Writer’s Block. 
    Some writers have driven this monster into a corner where it lurks, the great unmentioned unmentionable waiting to pounce. Others chant the mantra “Writer’s Block Doesn’t Exist” in the vain hopes that daily repetition can avoid it. Still others thwart it with superstitious behavior—new notebooks and pens for new projects, story idea spinners to select common tropes, and an in-depth notebook that becomes thicker and thicker until the dam bursts and overwhelms the hulking monster. 
    Yet something more than simple disruptions and distractions interfere with our writing, creating insurmountable walls that close around us until the monster in the labyrinth takes hold and shakes us into submission. 
    M.A. Lee and The Write Focus podcast analyze the three broad categories of Writer’s Block and offer solutions to overcome this looming monster. After this examination is a survey of the advice of several successful writers. Finally, a series of chapters delves into the monster-defeating techniques used by giants such as Erle Stanley Gardner, Mary Stewart, and Phyllis A. Whitney. 
    They defeated writer’s block, and so can we.

    The Write Focus podcast offers weekly episodes on productivity, process, craft, and tools. TWF is for newbies and veterans who want to become writing pros. 
    The multi-published M.A. Lee has written over 50 titles of fiction under three pen names and over 10 nonfiction books on the writing craft. She hosts TWF podcast.

    Baphomet Revealed - Mysteries...

    Baphomet, often misunderstood and cloaked in misinterpretations, has left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness, standing at the crossroads of the occult, religion, and the quest for arcane knowledge. This provocative entity, existing simultaneously as myth, magick, and symbol, demands an exploration not bound by the confines of a single discipline or perspective. Baphomet Revealed sets out to undertake this multifaceted exploration. Over the years, Baphomet has been called a demon, deity, and the devil himself, but Baphomet is none of these. 
     
     
      
    Baphomet's origins are as elusive as its symbolic form, yet we begin our inquiry with the Templars, where the name Baphomet was perhaps first uttered or misunderstood as a distortion of the name of the prophet Muhammad. We trace Baphomet's course through history, their intersections with Gnostic thought, Freemasonry, the teachings of Aleister Crowley, and the myriad occult groups that have drawn upon their potent symbolism. While Baphomet has often been misconstrued as a demonic figure, the figure is, in reality, a symbol—a complex cipher holding within its form the keys to profound philosophical and esoteric truths. Baphomet Revealed will take listeners on a journey that weaves together the threads of history, symbolism, and esoteric philosophy, unraveling the tapestry of Baphomet's enduring mystique.

    Know when to show your hand… and when to hedge your bets. Special Delivery, Book 2. Randy Jensen can’t stand to just sit by and watch as a mysterious man throws money away on the roulette wheel, especially since Randy’s got his own bet going as to the reason this guy is making every play like it’s his last day on earth. The man’s dark desperation hits Randy right in the gut. Half of him warns that getting involved is a sucker’s bet, and the other half scrambles for a reason—any reason—to save the man’s soul. Ethan Ellison has no idea what he’s going to do with himself once his last dollar is gone—until Randy whirls into his life with a heart-stealing smile and a poker player’s gaze that sees too much. Randy draws Ethan into a series of wagers that leads to a scorching kiss by midnight, but he isn’t the only one with an interest in Ethan’s vulnerability. Soon they’re both taking risks that not only play fast and loose with the law, but with the biggest prize of all: their hearts. This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release. Warning: This story contains high-stakes poker, gangsters with a weakness for kittens, foursomes, and kinky consensual sex.
