Get Crusader Kings 2 DLC The Old Gods for free

Crusader Kings 2 is now free, which is nice. And so is The Old Gods expansion, but only if you sign up to the Crusader Kings newsletter. You'll get a confirmation email and, pagan deities willing, then receive a Steam Key for the DLC.
The Old Gods is about paganism, notably adding the Viking faction, but also shifting the start date back to 867. This way you can play as the dynasty of Alfred the Great founding the Kingdom of England, but you can also be a West African tribe. While ranking the best Crusader Kings 2 DLC, Tom Hatfield called it "hands down the best expansion, and the first you should buy." Meanwhile, Steam user Tovarishch says, "10/10 would leave father's corpse on a hill to be eaten by vultures and marry attractive 16 year old sister again".
Those are both recommendations, in their own way.

Leonard Woolf was a writer, editor and book publisher who was also active politically. He was born in London in 1880, the third of ten children of Solomon Rees Sydney and Marie Woolf. After earning a Cambridge B.A. (1902) he served in the civil service in Ceylon, before returning to England and marrying Virginia Stephen in 1912. From that point on the Bloomsbury Group, which traced its roots to Woolf's days at Cambridge, and included Clive Bell, John Maynard Keynes and Lytton Strachey, began to emerge as an artistic and intellectual force. In 1913 Woolf published his first novel, The Village and the Jungle.
During World War I Woolf was a pacifist who became heavily involved in political and social issues; an activity that would carry on after the War. To provide a hobby for Virginia – who was suffering from manic depression – Woolf launched the Hogarth Press in 1917. After initially publishing small books by friends such as T.S. Eliot , E.M. Forster and Katherine Mansfield, it evolved into a prestigious publishing house; its titles included Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room and Eliot's The Waste Land. Woolf continued to work as the Hogarth director after Virginia's suicide in 1941, until his death in 1969.

Shopping should be a pleasure – this is just as true in the medical supply trade as it is in any other business. A successful shopping experience appeals to all the senses and arouses positive emotions which lead to long-term customer loyalty. With this in mind, Burmeier and the well-known and highly-regarded interior designer Elke Park from PARKRAUM have developed a sales and advisory station for care beds and matching accessories. The attractive point-of-sale concept will be launched at the EXPOLIFE trade fair in Kassel.
Visitors to the fair first get to know the new Dali series: Care beds that herald the digital future with a host of innovations and which can also be transformed into individually customised beds with the original Burmeier accessories. And this is where Elke Park's sales station comes in. It gives a comprehensive overview of the various features and options – and does not even need a bed to do it. The product is presented in a sophisticated visual and tactile way that works on its own. Customers are welcome to look, discover and feel for themselves without the need of a salesperson.
Interior designer Elke Park from PARKRAUM in Stuttgart has designed an attractive point-of-sale concept for Burmeier.
The point-of-sale concept consists of an integrated wall display solution that is one metre wide and a good two metres high. It features many original accessories. The customer can see the mobilisation aid at entry height and try out the elegant reading lamp or run their hand over the mattress patterns and check the degree of comfort. There are also brightly covered versions of the cosy Softcover on round discs to discover. The Softcovers can be used by customers to cover the headboards, footboards and safety sides of the beds.
Setting advanced digital standards, the Dali series also features the new wireless handset. Customers can pick it up and discover how much freedom of movement it gives residents and caregivers.
A monitor in the wall provides all the necessary information, as well as providing Internet access to all Burmeier product information and videos. Its intuitive touch operation allows customers and sales staff to find pictures, text and configuration options for the popular Dali series, the comfortable residence beds and their accessories. It also features an integrated loudspeaker for sound.
The salesperson can use practical aids such as the digital bed configurator or the Burmeier adapter sheets if they join the customer to offer advice. All decor samples are on hand and there is even a built-in printer for quotes and sales transactions. This creates a lasting feeling of professionalism and high quality. 'Ultimately, it is important for successful businesses that everyone involved has fun', says graduate engineer Elke Park. The new concept creates a stimulating atmosphere of something special, which is precisely what staff in the specialist trade feel.
The elegant wall display shows many original high-quality accessories and encourages customers to explore them with all their senses.
Customers can also view and touch the cosy, coloured fabrics of the Softcovers at the sales station.
Dispensing a pleasant light, the Sola reading lamp generates little heat – customers can see this for themselves at the point-of-sale.


Modern society pays a lot of attention to the health of every single person. However, we do not enough resist such negative tendencies as smoking. I believe smoking should be banned and totally removed as a social event.
Recently lots of countries around the world increased limitations for sale of tobacco, increased the retail prices and shortened the list of places where smoking should be allowed, but much more should be done to eliminate smoking. The main reason to oppose smoking is its harm to the health of smokers, as well as to the so-called second-hand smokers, who are believed to be getting even more harm than the active ones. Every day we get new feedbacks from the scientists and researchers, dealing with the issue of potential harm from smoking. It is also a well-known fact that most of the movie stars who participated in advertising of cigarettes, in the 60-80s of the 20th century, died from the lung cancer, which proves the harm of smoking and leaves no other choice as to eliminate it from the everyday life. Some smokers say there is no harm from smoking if they purchase cigarettes of the luxurious brands or specially processed ones, containing fewer contaminants and chemical compounds. This idea is wrong, as smaller percentage of harmful chemicals still affects the human body in the most negative way possible. Eventually, the worst harm smokers do not to themselves, but to our next generations, our children, who are in potential risk of possession of the weakened immune system right from the birth. Smokers should think about the other people, not themselves only.
Smoking has no proven positive effects on the people. It affects both active and second-hand smokers, exposing the non-smokers to the potential harms about which they might not even know. Life without smoking would allow people make their lives better and happier than with the smoking.


CHICO ? There was pomp. There was circumstance.
And for two teams, there was a celebration for the final prep-level game of their players' lives.
In the case of the South, the celebration was a slightly bigger one.
Pleasant Valley's Matt Henderson earned MVP honors of the Bob Busch Classic, the annual Chico Breakfast Lions baseball senior all-star game, and six pitchers combined on a dominant four-hitter as the South defeated the North 14-1 on Saturday night at Doryland Field.
Divisions I through VI all had a say in the clubbing for the South, though the two players who call Doryland home sure looked the most comfortable.
Henderson, starting at shortstop alongside third baseman and PV teammate Michael Sanderson, had two hits, scored two runs, stole two bases and shone defensively and Sanderson was 2 for 3 with a two-run double.
?I hadn't seen lot of these guys, but in the practices we've had, I was really confident in what we had coming in,? Henderson said.
?There's a lot of D-I players (on the North team), and it was surprising to me to see our lower divisions pulling through for us. It was awesome.?
Most demonstrative of that was South starter Chad Perry of Marysville, who tossed two scoreless innings to open the game before he added two hits in as many at-bats, including a big tworun double that was part of a seven-run seventh inning for the hosts.
Willows outfielder Clark Love opened the scoring in the first, yanking a two-run double inside the first base bag against Fall River's Sterling Humphry.
Love was 2 for 3 with three RBIs and also drew a walk.
With all the decorum the North's mighty roster can boast ? the best players from the Northern Section Division I champions and runners-up, three alone from powerhouse Foothill and hard-throwing lefty Joey Beck of Lassen ? the game reached laugher status by the fifth inning, when a four-run outburst keyed by an RBI single from Chico's Clayton Schuler made it 4- 0. Oroville's Bodie Marikas, who reached base three times in four appearances, was hit by a pitch to make it 6-0.
?When you see those guys you're always competing against, you get other guys from the area you can compete with too,? Henderson said of playing alongside typical Eastern Athletic League foes.
?It was a cool thing to see a collective effort.?
But it wasn't just the EAL that was well-represented; along with Love's feats in the purple of Willows and the masterful work on the mound from the Indians' Perry, the Hamilton duo of Adolfo Diaz and Dylan Shippelhoute also did its school proud: Each singled off Foothill stud pitcher Colton Landreth, with Diaz's knock driving in a run, and Shippelhoute added a perfect ninth to cap it all off.
It truly was a composite performance by Hogan Brown's roster, and the Hamilton skipper seemed to put everyone in the perfect spot to succeed.
Granted, with the lightest of substitution and batting order rules being ?enforced,? he had the freedom to do so ? Sanderson came back to deliver his two-run double well after he'd been pinch-hit for, as just one example ? but his players banded together all the same, avenging last year's North victory.
