  Scáthach - Warrior Queen from...

  The Gaelic myths and legends that are prevalent in the British Isles are the very fabric of the Irish, Scottish, Manx, and Cornish people today. They are colorful, steeped in heroic deeds and adventurous demigods, rooted in times long gone, when Europe as we know it was an altogether different land. More precisely, the Irish Mythology and its unique Ulster Cycle are an endless source of inspiration, and are a crystal clear glimpse into the heart and soul of the Irish People. One of the more enigmatic figures from this cycle is Scáthach, a legendary Scottish warrior woman, responsible for many things - but chiefly for teaching warrior skills to the young hero Cú Chulainn. “A Scottish woman in Irish myths?” you might be wondering right now. But you read that well: Scáthach is the clear connection between two nations of the same origins - Ireland and Scotland. This mythical figure is the connection between brotherly folk, a root that entwines their shared Gaelic culture. But even better, the topic of Scáthach is a great starting point for scholars and historians - from here we can conduct extensive research that would uncover deeper layers of the enigmatic Ulster Cycle and the ancient connection between Ireland and Scotland. From there, we can glimpse into the turbulent fate of the Picts, the unique subject of the Gaels, the Scoti, and the Kingdom of Dál Riata. And last but not least - we can find parallels between the legend of Scáthach and the older, Indo-European myths and beliefs that clearly tell us of the ancient origins of the Gaelic folk.

  From May the 7th, in 1682 till his death in 1725, Peter the Great or Pyotr Alekséyevich governed the Tsardom of Russia and ultimately the Russian Empire, collectively ruling before 1696 with his older half-brother, Ivan V.He got ports on the Azov and Baltic Seas through a series of triumphant disputes, creating the structure for the Imperial Russian Navy, ending undisputed Swedish control in the Baltic, and launching the Tsardom's development into a much larger empire that would end up being a major European force. He was the leader of a cultural revolution that saw some standard and middle ages social and political structures changed with modern-day, clinical, Westernized, and Enlightenment-based systems. Peter's reforms had a long-lasting effect on Russia, and tons of the Russian federal government's organizations can be traced back to his reign. In 1721, he changed the former title of Tsar with the title of Emperor, and he created and broadened the city of Saint Petersburg, which stayed Russia's capital till 1917.Peter the Great has had a significance influence on the structure of Russia, the history, and the future in the succeeding decades after him. Let’s see what else he did while he was alive.

  Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Vladimir Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party socialist state governed by the Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his developments to the ideology are called Leninism.
  Russia in the Shadows is a book by H. G. Wells published early in 1921, which includes a series of articles previously printed in The Sunday Express in connection with Wells's second visit to Russia (after a previous trip in January 1914 to St. Petersburg and Moscow) in September and October 1920.
  During his visit to Russia he visited his old friend Maxim Gorky, whom he had first met in 1906 on a trip to the United States, and who arranged Wells's meeting with Lenin.
  In a chapter (The Dreamer in the Kremlin) devoted to an interview with Lenin at the Kremlin Wells describes the leader and founder of Russian communism. Wells portrays Lenin as a pragmatic leader who "has recently stripped off the last pretence that the Russian revolution is anything more than the inauguration of an age of limitless experiment."

  Across the Board - How Games...

  Tabletop games are ordinary and extraordinary. Ordinary because they're everywhere: played in bars and cafés, churches and casinos, through sunless winters in polar research stations and in the sweltering summer heat of Tanzanian villages and streamed live over Twitch to millions of viewers. They fill the activity pages of children's magazines and the halls of senior centers. They appear as smartphone apps and in luxury editions and as game boards scratched into the dirt. 
   
   
   
  And they're extraordinary for precisely the same reason: they're everywhere, in every civilization, everywhere in the world across all recorded human history. 
   
   
   
  In Across the Board, tabletop game aficionado Tim Clare takes us through that history and across those civilizations. We learn how the same games emerge over and over and how they've evolved and spread, as well as about the contemporary culture of gaming: with rousing enthusiasm, Tim explores games as familiar to us as Monopoly or chess, as niche as Magic: The Gathering, and as unexpected as the Japanese poetry-matching card game karuta. We learn about games as recreation and as ritual, and above all, we see how they can be a way for us to come together—because of all the things that make us human, there's nothing quite so set up for connection as sharing a round of cards or the roll of a d20.
