Межгалактическая Империя пала. В последнем бою во имя спасения человечества я должен был погибнуть, но по воле случая оказался в мире, где война ещё только начинается.
Теперь я в теле молодого барона, в моём подчинении окружённая тварями крепость и остатки корабля на местной Луне.
У меня есть знания, утерянные в этом мире, верный экипаж и люди, которые ещё раскроют свой потенциал, а также моя воля. А значит, успех неизбежен!
Интернет и цифровые технологии порождают необозримый поток текстов, что вызывает опасность информационной перегрузки. Однако это явление не уникально для нашей эпохи. Уже столетия назад – и особенно после изобретения книгопечатания в Европе в середине XV века – ученые жаловались на переизбыток книг. Энн Блэр исследует те средства, которые приходилось придумывать, чтобы справиться с этим шквалом текстов. В своей работе она прослеживает методы управления информацией в Античности и Средневековье, в традиционных исламской и китайской культурах, а также уделяет особое внимание инструментам и практикам, использовавшимся в Европе раннего Нового времени. Сочетая интеллектуальную историю с историей книги, Блэр в очередной раз подчеркивает неизбежную преемственность прошлого и настоящего.
В сборник включены издающиеся впервые в России письма и документы виднейшего российского социал-демократа (меньшевика) Ю. О. Мартова, относящиеся к событиям революции и Гражданской войны. Публикуемые материалы дают яркое представление о сложнейшем клубке политических конфликтов тех лет, мужественном противостоянии демократических сил установленному в России диктаторскому большевистскому режиму, совершенно по-новому освещают трагический этап отечественной истории и жизнь самого Мартова, преданного забвению советской историографией, одного из основателей российской социал-демократической партии. Вступительная статья известных историков, докторов исторических наук Ю. Г. Фельштинского и Г. И. Чернявского, рассказывает о политическом пути Мартова и значении публикуемых документов, а детальные примечания разъясняют сущность событий тех лет и дают представление о деятелях, упоминаемых в книге.
Издание рассчитано не только на специалистов, но и на широкую читательскую аудиторию.

In this episode we start with discussion of England's win over Switzerland at the Euros, centred around the brilliant Bukayo Saka who scored a fantastic equaliser, and one of the five penalties to help his team progress. There's some discussion about the overall level of performance from the England team, a question about who should start up front in the semi-final, and we look at the other Arsenal players who are still involved or just exited the tournament. Then there's some transfer chat, questions about William Saliba as the left-sided centre-half, the two Brazilian Gabriels who have been away at the Copa America, Jakub Kiwior's future in light of ongoing interest in Riccardo Calafiori, the mystery German player, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to chat about last night's 4-1 friendly win over Bayer Leverkusen. We analyse the very familiar looking team line-up in the context of Mikel Arteta's comments about needing more from the players we have, leading to discussion of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz among others. There's also some focus on young players like Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri after they impress again, but how do you find the balance between their integration and further additions to the squad? There's some transfer discussion, Arteta's pickpocketing high jinx, and a goodbye from an old (angry) friend.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie talk about Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Leicester at the King Power. Tim and Jamie discuss a rotated starting line-up, how much the packed early season schedule contributed to a leggy performance, whether the game can be taken in isolation or whether concerns about the attack in particular persist and the performances of Daphne van Domselaar, Alessia Russo, the midfield partnership of Lia Walti and Kyra Cooney-Cross, defensive injuries and a lack of creativity without Mariona and Kafaji starting the game.

Professor Sir Laurence Martin (1928-2022) News release NCapeling 3 May 2022
Professor Sir Laurence Martin, director of Chatham House from 1991-96, has died aged 93.
Professor Sir Laurence Martin was one of the UK’s leading experts on international security with a particular interest in nuclear strategy.
Before joining Chatham House, he was Professor of War Studies at King’s College, London and Vice Chancellor of Newcastle University. He was also appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear as well as holding several distinguished professorships.
His most well-known work was Two-Edged Sword: Armed Forces in the Modern World which was also the subject of the BBC’s Reith Lectures he gave in 1981.
Sir Laurence led Chatham House as the world was entering the post-Cold War era, a time when international relations were in a state of flux which, as he wrote in International Affairs, provided grounds for optimism that ‘the objective conditions exist to eliminate violent and mutually harmful conflict at least between the major powers’.
Professor Martin worked hard to ensure the financial sustainability of the institute following the loss of core funding from the UK government in the 1980s. By modernizing its approach to fundraising, he was able to invest in a much-needed refurbishment of the House, as well as the institute’s first foray onto the internet.
This enabled Chatham House to communicate with new audiences beyond its members, event attendees, and readers of printed reports, The World Today magazine, and International Affairs journal. He paid particular attention to the need for the institute to communicate its ideas to those making policy as well as wider audiences.
In addition to strengthening the institute’s research, he was keen to continue engaging its members in discussions to develop a well- informed understanding of international affairs.
On the 75th anniversary of Chatham House in 1995, he wrote that its role was ’providing the evidence and, above all, encouraging the habit of mind, to facilitate prudent, if possible optimistic, but never utopian judgements about world affairs’. Today’s staff would agree this role remains at the heart of delivering the institute’s mission.

It’s a tiny cast with just Chris, Anna Marie, and Kelley. PS5 blood money is being thrown around, while Kelley curses the asthma tax. Chris is simulating his real life job in a game that simulates his job. Anna Marie re-discovers she doesn’t like SMT. And everyone agrees cutscenes need both pause and skip options.

After a century of rebellion, South America experienced a rapid decline in revolts in the early 1900s. Historical narratives and an analysis of a comprehensive new dataset show that the decrease stemmed in large part from the expansion and professionalization of the region’s militaries, which were driven by an export boom and the threat of interstate conflict.
