  Gladiators - History and...

  Gladiators were highly trained warriors who fought to the death for the entertainment of the Roman public. These brutal battles took place in large arenas throughout the Roman Republic and Empire, where gladiators would engage in combat with other fighters, wild animals, or even condemned criminals. The fights were often bloody and merciless, designed to showcase the might and martial prowess of the Roman world. While some gladiators volunteered, seeking fame and fortune in the arena, many were slaves or prisoners of war who were forced to fight. 
  The life of a gladiator was harsh and dangerous. Those who entered the arena did so at great personal risk, as their fights often meant risking their lives for the entertainment of the masses. Even voluntary gladiators, known as "auctorati," gambled with their personal safety and social standing. They had little to no rights and were subject to the whims of their owners or sponsors. Gladiators who survived and fought well could gain fame and admiration, but their lives were fraught with physical injury and emotional isolation. The training they underwent was grueling, often conducted in harsh conditions at special training schools known as "ludi," where they were forced to endure relentless drills and punishments. 
  Gladiators were not only fighters but also symbols of Roman martial virtues. Through their valor and resilience in the arena, they represented Rome's ideals of strength, honor, and discipline. Their performances were often immortalized in Roman art and artifacts, with their images appearing on coins, pottery, and sculptures. Despite the grim nature of their lives, gladiators could gain popular admiration for their ability to fight bravely or die with honor. Some even became beloved figures in Roman culture, celebrated in both elite and everyday art.

  MANIFESTATION (How Thoughts Become Things!) is unlike any other book by the same name. Right from the jump, EQuin Cadmon peels back the veil of the elite's endless attempts to cover up our true past through resets every 100 years here on Earth. He quickly uncovers the truth behind the Tartarian Empire that reigned here for 1,000s of years and their free energy and unlimited abundance for all. He also goes on to prove to every reader that wanders this way exactly what Earth is; that it's not a globe after all flying through space at 627,000,000 mph in lock step with a burning ball of gas and 8 other planets; but flat and stationary. No other book every written walks you through and reveals our true intentionally buried past as it matters and relates to our power to MANIFEST. EQuin Cadmon ties it all together to bring the reader to the powered restored place to remember and activate their full mind potential to create anything they desire right out of thin air…or Aether. You never fully understood why it mattered that the powered elite have intentionally hidden our true past from us until now. What you'll discover by book’s end is that they needed us dumbed down to control us. They needed us divided in every way so that we wouldn't collectively increase our resonance and power to create heaven right here on Earth. No more! Do yourself a favor and open these pages and read and reread and share everywhere with everyone you love. This book is one for the ages!

  Everyday Jews - Why The Jewish...

  Can Jews be allowed to become boring?
  
  
  With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people - a fraction of a percentage of the world's population - have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don't know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of 'everyday' Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull.
  
  
  Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people's extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.

  Since Xi Jinping took power in 2012, China's foreign policy has significantly shifted from a defensive to an assertive approach. For decades, Beijing worked to integrate into the liberal international order, presenting itself as a peacefully rising power. By contrast, however, under Xi's leadership, the country is attempting to create a global system that is more favourable to its own interests.
  The Report examines China's current foreign policy approach, and the drivers behind the country's shift away from tradition. What are the main features of China's foreign policy today? How are decisions being taken, and to what extent do interest groups continue to have a say in decision-making after the recent power centralisation?
