The financial stability of the pension sys- tem depends on a number of factors (demographic and economic) – fac- tors, that rarely and with difficulties and can reach the long-term consolidation and financial sustainability of pension system, therefore undertaking reforms towards improving the pension system remains inevitable. Pension reforms, i.e. the improvement of the pension system had to do mainly with: security in the realization of the rights to pension and disa- bility insurance, short and long term security of solvency for pension and disability insurance, maximum insurance and minimal risk, assu- ring the right to a pension for all generations, strengthening public confidence, as well as stimulating the development of capital markets and encourage economic growth. -

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast. -

Archaic Eretria
ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia. -

Greece, the Land Where Myths Replaces Reality
GREECE, THE LAND WHERE MYTHS REPLACE REALITY (Myths about Epirus) What is myth and what does it serve? Myth is a narrative based usually on a false story which can not be used as a replacement of history, but sometimes myth might be considered a distorted account of a real historical event. The myth does not differ much from a folktale and usually the boundary between them is very thin. Myth must not be used to reconstruct, however in the ancient society of the so called “”Ancient Greeks”” myth was usually regarded as a true account for a remote past. Surprisingly this ‘tradition’ is descended to the Modern Greeks as well. They never loose the chance to use the myths and the mythology of a remote past and to pose them as their real ethnic history. This job is being done combining the ancient myths with the ones already created in the modern era. Now let’s take a look at two Greek myths, respectively one ancient and one modern, while our job is to prove that even these myths are respectively hijacked or created to join realities not related to each other, but unfortunately propagandized belonging to a real history, the history of the Greek race. Thus before we analyze and expose some of their myths which are uncountable, we are inclined to say that whatever is considered Greek History is completely based on mythical stories, whose reliability and truthiness is deeply compromised for the mere fact that is based on myths not only by the Modern Greeks and especially philhellenes, but even by the ancient authors. -
Maria Skłodowska-Curie's Warsaw
Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s Warsaw ROUTE PL 1 Presentation of the route Places related to Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s childhood and youth. The route takes you to the footsteps of the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize and, so far, the only one who has been awarded the Nobel Prize for two different scientific disciplines (chemistry and physics). Maria Skłodowska- Curie was born in Warsaw, where she spent her childhood and youth too. From a very young age, she was fond of walking by the Wisła river. Today, a statue of Skłodowska- Curie in Warsaw’s New Town looks towards the Wisła river. It is the first waypoint of our route. Maria Skłodowska belonged to a generation of emancipated Polish women who, thanks to the schools for girls and the so-called Flying University (Uniwersytet Latający) in Warsaw received an education which enabled them to undertake university studies that were inaccessible to women in the Russian Empire. The walk leads through the places where Maria Skłodowska lived, studied, grew up and celebrated her successes.

Polish Accounts of the Participation of the Lithuanian Armed Forces in the Battle of Kryżbork/ Jakobstadt of 26 July (5 August) 17041
Open Political Science, 2019; 2: 174–180 Research Article Karol Kościelniak* Polish accounts of the participation of the Lithuanian armed forces in the battle of Kryżbork/ Jakobstadt of 26 July (5 August) 17041 https://doi.org/10.1515/openps-2019-0016 received September 19, 2017; accepted April 9, 2018. Abstract: The Great Northern War changed not only the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but also the countries of Central Europe. This war brought many tactical and strategic innovations that could be observed on the battlefields and during the war campaigns. That is why it seems appropriate to recall the battles that took place during the Great Northern War. An example of such a battle is a clash between the Swedish-Lithuanian army and Lithuanian-Russian army, which took place near Kryżbork/Jakobstadt on 26 July (5 August) 1704. In this battle the Lithuanian troops fought on both sides. On the Swedish side they were commanded by Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, and on the Russian side – by Michał Serwacy Wiśniowiecki. Keywords: Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Sweden, Russia, battle, Great Northern War, Jakobstadt, Kryżbork, Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, Michał Serwacy Wiśniowiecki To this day there is no complete monograph in Polish historiography about the Great Northern War, which was taking place between 1700 and 17211. Many of its military aspects remain unknown to the Polish reader. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the specific part of this war, which was of great importance to the Polish-Lithuan Commonwealth. The aim of this work is to draw attention to one of the many source databases that exist to this day and which shed light on those events.
