Europe Series - The Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War
The so-called "Peloponnesian War" should be precisely the "Peloponnesian-Athens War" (the ancient Greeks also defined it in this way). Because the very famous "History of the Peloponnesian War" in Western history records the war in the 20 years from 431 BC to 411 BC, the so-called "Peloponnesian War" War", also referring to this time period, the war between Athens and Sparta. But in fact, as early as 460 BC, when the Delian League and Persia were still at war, the conflict between the two sides had already occurred.

European Series - "The Hippo War", the Battle of Plataea, the Delian League
In terms of the output of the Greek peninsula, it is definitely impossible to supply the additional hundreds of thousands of Persian troops. After losing command of the sea, Xerxes' decision to make a strategic retreat was not problematic. However, after all, the Persian Army had already advanced to the Isthmus of Corinth, and it was a little unwilling to fully retreat without a decent land battle. So after much consideration, Xerxes' son-in-law, Mardonius, and a selected Persian army, were left in Greece. In the records of the Greeks, the number of the Persian army left behind in Greece is still as high as 300,000. Of course, for boasting reasons, this figure is obviously exaggerated, and combined with archaeological evidence, the number of this army should be in the early 100,000s.

European Series - "Battle of Salamis" in "Hippo War"
After the thermal gate was breached, the Athenians actually understood that even if the Peloponnesian League was willing to help them build a land line of defense, the possibility of Athens being able to hold it was very low. Therefore, when the Persian army went south through Thebes, the city of Athens had become a ghost city, and the personnel were transferred to a safe place to hide. As for the Greek combined fleet, which is dominated by Athens, it is docked on the east coast of "Salamis Island" on the west side of Athens.

European Series - The Battle of Wenquan Pass in the "Hippo War"
Abandoning the Tenby Valley means that the Attica Peninsula has become a plate that the Greeks must defend. Of course, the Spartans and their Peloponnesian allies would have preferred to focus their defenses on the Isthmus of Corinth. Otherwise, they will not send the regiments withdrawn from the Tenby Valley to the Isthmus of Corinth. However, the Athenians would definitely not want to do so. In this kind of relationship, no one can only care about their own interests.

European Series - Macedonia's Choice in the "Hippo War"
After the Battle of Marathon, Athens, which successfully repelled the Persian army, undoubtedly injected a shot of stimulant into the entire Greek region, and its prestige has naturally been greatly improved. Speaking of which, the Spartans had a chance to share the victory. Because before the war, the Athenians had turned to this old enemy for help. Seeing that they had also humiliated the Persians, the Spartans agreed to Athens' request (with 2000 reinforcements). However, the Spartans will celebrate their most important festival "Kania" every year in September. During the nine days of celebrating the festival, in order to show respect for the gods, no war can be waged. And the Persian attack, "just" in September.

How To Start Your Own Mushroom Farming Business
I have been doing a lot of research in regards to the business side of mushroom farming and I thought the information I’m about to share with my readers today should be publicized as it can help future mushroom farmers fulfill the market’s supply & demand of mushrooms anywhere in the world. First of all, let’s talk about the cost of materials that you will need in order to start a mushroom farming business. So, the items you will need can be bought from one or more sources but for simplicity’s sake, I will use amazon as an example. You will have to first get a pressure cooker which is going to cost about $100 or more minimum. Then you will need to get some glass jars preferably a 12 pack of 24oz jars (~$33), High temp Silicone (~$13), 100 Canning Lids/100 Rings (~$35), 50lbs of Whole grain/Rye grain (~$70, good for use on 33 24oz jars), 4 shelf storage shelves (~$119)

Smart Gas
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But the Alien had senses beyond comprehension. It could feel the vibrations of swirling comets. It could measure the crushing gravity of its home planet. It perceived the noisy workings of the Universe, from exploding Suns to the whisper of drifting dark matter. Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, but the alien could hear the screams of an entire species. A cacophonic noise coming from the third planet.

Walking in the autumn mood
Open the calendar do not need to look at any calendar, look outside the window to know that autumn has come. The thick autumn fog is everywhere, dotted with drops in the spider's web, pearls are generally lustrous. When the sun licked these luster slowly dry, the mantle of autumn has long been drawn, maple leaves are beginning to star to become girls up, red like love is being mellowed by spirits blazing. The sky is also vast, and the clouds, too, are walking soothingly in the blue sky, just like a philosopher. Look at your feet, laying a thick layer of gold, stepping on it is like walking in the clouds. Just look up at the spider and there is some disappointment because autumn is, after all, a silent season, but also a little bit of the coolness of winter.

So Many Raindrops
With all the flash floods happening throughout the world, one would think we’d had enough of the wet weather. Yet, unfortunately, here in Florida, although it is our rainy season, we’re just not getting out share of rain. I know we’re not the only state that is suffering from the hot sun and droughts. There are places much worse than Florida since their droughts are causing massive fires. Where I live in Florida, we have few woody areas and certainly no forests that might easily catch fire.
