  • The Guild and the Swordsman
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum 27 DOI 10.1515/apd-2015-0013 The guild and the swordsman Jean Chandler with translations by Jack Gassman and Christian Trosclair, edited by Willy Rosencrans, and special thanks to Willy Rosencrans, Marjorie Dalton, Olivier Dupuis, Christian Trosclair, Jürg Gassmann, Kel Rekuta, Ariella Elema and Jake Norwood. Abstract – Guilds have a well-established association with the fencing systems of medieval Europe, and the phenomenon of guilds has been the subject of a great deal of new academic research in the last 20 years or so. A thorough summary of the recent scholarship on guilds and their structure and history will help provide context for what may be loosely described as armed guilds. Though armed guilds have not yet been the subject of a proper systematic analysis, it is possible to tentatively identify four types. Combining the summary of ‘civilian’ guilds with the emerging evidence of armed guilds, including the fencing guilds, may help us better understand the social relevance of martial arts in medieval and Early Modern Europe. This may in turn contribute positively to the ongoing efforts to interpret the medieval fightbooks. Keywords – guilds, armed guilds, societates armatae, fencing guilds INTRODUCTION This paper has two purposes. The first is to summarize the recent scholarly work on guilds, in order to help provide an accurate context for fencers and researchers in the historical fencing community who may be interested in the links between fightbooks, fencing masters and guilds. A great deal of work has been done in the academic community on the subject of guilds in the last couple of decades which changes the perception of them to no small degree.

  • Biogas Production in the Russian Federation: Current Status, Potential, and Barriers
    energies Article Biogas Production in the Russian Federation: Current Status, Potential, and Barriers Tatiana Nevzorova Industrial Economics and Management, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Lindstedtsvägen 30, 114 28 Stockholm, Sweden; [email protected] Received: 4 June 2020; Accepted: 9 July 2020; Published: 14 July 2020 Abstract: Russia has signed the Paris Agreement and recently approved its ratification. However, the Russian Government does not consider abandoning the production and use of hydrocarbons to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the goals of the Agreement, Russia must find new innovative solutions. This study demonstrates that biogas is one of the most necessary renewable sources in Russia. Despite this, the deployment of biogas technologies is currently extremely slow. In this regard, to assess their subsequent impact on the Russian energy sector as a whole, it is important to identify the factors that hinder the wider implementation of biogas technologies. Based on the findings, the most critical barriers were identified and discussed in detail. In the light of the results, some policy-related recommendations are also proposed. Keywords: biogas; biomethane; barrier identification; Russia; renewable energy policy 1. Introduction The Paris Agreement, which was enacted in November 2016, aims to replace the Kyoto Protocol, has set the objective to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and keep the global average temperature rise below 2 ◦C compared to the pre-industrial level [1]. The document was signed by representatives of more than 170 countries, including Russia. However, Russia did not ratify it until recently. In September 2019, official news emerged that the Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, has approved the ratification of the Paris Agreement [2,3].

TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

  • Read an Excerpt
    Copyright 2020 Golden Productions LLC. All Rights Reserved. LASSA ERIKSON was absolutely terrified, completely and utterly terrified because he was standing in the middle of a Danish battlefield surrounded by an ocean of the fiercest, nastiest, toughest, meanest, ugliest Viking warriors the world had ever seen… and technically, for the past seven and a half hours he was supposed to be one of them too. Lassa’s palms were sweating, his heart was pounding and his thirteen year old legs were trembling so much that he had to lean on his shield to stop himself from falling over. Any minute now he knew he’d be dead. Stabbed - slashed - squashed - burned - boiled - or lanced through the heart by an enemy Saxon spear, dead. Lassa didn’t stand a chance. He looked nothing like the real Vikings. He wasn’t taller than a bear, didn’t have scars, muscles or missing limbs, and he still had all of his own teeth. Lassa wasn’t a warrior he was a worrier. And worrying was exactly what Lassa was doing. He kept thinking, hoping, praying that any minute now he’d wake up to another boring day, in his boring little room above the boring and uneventfully safe hay loft on the family farmstead. He scrunched his eyes then opened them, but the army was still there. Leading the Viking army was the hulking great wall of flesh - General Gorn Skarsgood. He was the six foot four embodiment of the Viking name; broken nose, forked beard, iron plated armor and a four foot long broadsword that he wielded as if it were a toothpick.

  • Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence
    Russia • Military / Security Historical Dictionaries of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, No. 5 PRINGLE At its peak, the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) was the largest HISTORICAL secret police and espionage organization in the world. It became so influential DICTIONARY OF in Soviet politics that several of its directors moved on to become premiers of the Soviet Union. In fact, Russian president Vladimir V. Putin is a former head of the KGB. The GRU (Glavnoe Razvedvitelnoe Upravleniye) is the principal intelligence unit of the Russian armed forces, having been established in 1920 by Leon Trotsky during the Russian civil war. It was the first subordinate to the KGB, and although the KGB broke up with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the GRU remains intact, cohesive, highly efficient, and with far greater resources than its civilian counterparts. & The KGB and GRU are just two of the many Russian and Soviet intelli- gence agencies covered in Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence. Through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries, a clear picture of this subject is presented. Entries also cover Russian and Soviet leaders, leading intelligence and security officers, the Lenin and Stalin purges, the gulag, and noted espionage cases. INTELLIGENCE Robert W. Pringle is a former foreign service officer and intelligence analyst RUSSIAN with a lifelong interest in Russian security. He has served as a diplomat and intelligence professional in Africa, the former Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe.
