Trump DEMANDING Greenland...

Denmark, NATO's most loyal ally, currently faces an existential threat not from Moscow, but from Washington. Donald Trump appointed a ‘Special Representative’ to integrate Greenland into the US and set diplomatic courtesy aside. The US's new doctrine is clear: ‘Alliance in the Arctic is over; the era of ownership has begun.’

How The United Kingdom Came to Be

 

A Deep Colorful History of Peoples

Long before England became “England,” before the rise of the Anglo‑Saxons, before Latinized towns and Roman roads, the island was home to a tapestry of ancient peoples whose identities, languages, and beliefs shaped the foundations of British history. Understanding who lived in Britain before the Saxons and how the English language eventually emerged requires looking back thousands of years, through layers of Celtic culture, Roman occupation, and prehistoric tradition. It is a story of continuity and disruption, of cultural layering, and of the gradual transformation of an island at the edge of Europe.

Britain Before the Romans: A Celtic and Druidic World

When the Romans arrived in AD 43, they encountered a land dominated by Celtic-speaking tribes. These peoples, often collectively called “Britons,” were part of a vast Celtic cultural sphere that once stretched across much of Europe. Archaeology and linguistic evidence suggest that Celtic languages began arriving in Britain around 600 BC. These tribes were not a single unified nation but a constellation of groups such as the Iceni, Brigantes, Trinovantes, and Silures.

The Role of the Druids

At the heart of this Celtic world were the Druids, the intellectual, spiritual, and political elite of Celtic society. Far more than priests, Druids served as judges, healers, advisors, poets, and keepers of cultural memory. They presided over rituals, mediated disputes, and maintained oral traditions so extensive that training could take twenty years. According to historical accounts, Druidic centers existed in places like Anglesey, which the Romans later targeted specifically because of its symbolic importance.

Druidic influence was so strong that some Roman writers viewed them as the ideological backbone of Celtic resistance. Their practices included ceremonies in sacred groves, veneration of natural sites, and in some cases ritual sacrifice. While much about them remains mysterious, the Druids were undeniably central to pre‑Roman British identity.

Were the Celts the Original Britons?

In a cultural sense, yes, the Celts were the people the Romans called “Britons.” But genetically, Britain had been inhabited for thousands of years before Celtic languages arrived. The Celts were not the island’s first inhabitants, but they became the dominant cultural and linguistic group by the Iron Age. Their languages, beliefs, and social structures defined Britain for centuries and left a lasting imprint even after the arrival of Rome and later the Saxons.

The Roman Conquest and Its Cultural Impact

Rome’s invasion in AD 43 marked a dramatic turning point. Over nearly four centuries, Roman Britain became a hybrid society where Celtic traditions blended with Roman law, architecture, religion, and language. The Romans introduced cities, stone buildings, baths, roads, coinage, and new agricultural methods. Latin became the language of administration, trade, and the military, though Celtic languages continued to be spoken widely among the population.

Did Roman Culture Have a Huge Effect?

Absolutely, though its depth varied by region. Urban centers like Londinium, Verulamium, and Eboracum became thoroughly Romanized, while rural and western areas retained more Celtic character. Latin inscriptions, Roman-style villas, and imported goods show how deeply Roman culture penetrated daily life. Even after Rome withdrew in the early 5th century, Latin continued to influence local languages and religious practices.

However, Romanization did not erase Celtic identity. Instead, it layered new customs atop older ones, creating a blended Romano‑British culture that persisted for generations.

After Rome: A Fragmented Britain

When Roman authority collapsed around AD 410, Britain entered a turbulent period. Without Roman legions or centralized governance, local leaders, some Romanized, some traditionally Celtic struggled to maintain order. This era saw political fragmentation, economic decline, and increasing pressure from external groups such as the Picts, Scots, and eventually the Germanic tribes who would become the Anglo‑Saxons.

The Arrival of the Saxons: A Cultural Transformation

Beginning in the mid‑5th century, waves of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes arrived from what is now Germany and Denmark. According to historical and linguistic evidence, these groups gradually established dominance across much of eastern and southern Britain, pushing many Britons westward into Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany.

What Effect Did the Saxons Have on England?

Their impact was profound:

• They introduced Old English, a Germanic language that would eventually evolve into modern English.

• They established new kingdoms such as Wessex, Mercia, and Northumbria.

• They reshaped settlement patterns, favoring small villages and farmsteads over Roman-style towns.

• They brought their own legal systems, warrior culture, and pagan religion.

The Saxons did not simply blend into Romano‑British society — in many regions, they replaced it. Archaeological evidence suggests that Roman towns declined sharply, Latin literacy collapsed, and many aspects of Roman culture disappeared.

What Effect Did the Saxons Have on Roman Culture?

The Saxons effectively ended Roman Britain. While some Roman practices survived in Christian communities, most Roman institutions urban life, centralized administration, Latin education faded. Yet the Saxons did adopt certain Roman elements later, especially after Christianization in the 7th century, when Latin returned as the language of the Church and scholarship.

Where Did the English Language Come From?

Modern English is fundamentally a Germanic language, not a Celtic or Latin one. It descends from the Old English spoken by the Anglo‑Saxons. However, English contains layers of influence:

• Celtic influence is limited but present, especially in grammar and regional dialects.

• Latin influence entered through Roman Britain and later through Christian missionaries.

• Norse influence came with Viking settlement.

• French influence arrived after the Norman Conquest.

Old English itself was shaped by contact with Celtic speakers, who adopted the new language but carried over certain grammatical features.

The Celts After the Saxons

Though pushed to the fringes, Celtic peoples survived in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Cornwall. Their languages, Welsh, Cornish, Breton, Scottish Gaelic, and Irish are direct descendants of the ancient Celtic tongues spoken before and during Roman Britain.

The Druids, however, did not survive as an institution. Roman suppression and Christianization gradually erased their role, though their cultural memory persisted in legend and folklore.

Conclusion: A Layered History of Peoples and Cultures

The story of England before the Saxons is one of deep antiquity, shaped by Celtic tribes, Druidic traditions, and centuries of Roman rule. The Saxons did not simply arrive in an empty land, they entered a region with a rich cultural heritage, one that they transformed but never fully erased. Roman culture left a lasting imprint, especially through Christianity and Latin learning, while Celtic identity endured in the western regions and in the cultural memory of Britain.

Modern England and the English language, emerged from this complex interplay of peoples, invasions, and cultural exchanges. It is a story of continuity and reinvention, of ancient roots and new beginnings, woven together over millennia.

She Ran for President, was a Wall Street Broker and First Woman Newspaper Publisher

Victoria Woodhull ran for President in 1872, had her own brokerage firm, a first for a woman and was the first female newspaper publisher. A real extrovert.

Born in 1838 in Homer, Ohio, Victoria Claflin Woodhull was an outspoken and controversial figure whose legacy as a trailblazer for women’s rights, gender equality, and sexual freedom endures to this day. Not only was she a suffragist and women’s rights advocate, but she also was the first woman to run for President of the United States at a time when women still didn’t have the right to vote. What’s more, she and her sister, Tennessee (Tennie) Claflin, became the first female stockbrokers on Wall Street and founded a newspaper together.

Despite a tumultuous childhood and a first marriage at age 15 (to Canning Woodhull, a 28-year-old doctor with whom she had two children), Woodhull went on to carve her path in history by embracing unconventional beliefs, including spiritualism and free love, while advocating for the rights of women, laborers, and the poor. Her journey from her rural Ohio home to Wall Street and beyond is as unexpected as it is interesting. Here are five facts about America’s first female presidential candidate.

After divorcing Canning Woodhull, who was an alcoholic and a neglectful husband, Victoria Woodhull kept her married name and became a supporter of the free love movement. She endorsed the idea that decisions about romance and sexuality should be left to the individual, and that women should be able to choose when, or if, to marry. The movement also supported destigmatizing divorce in order to make it easier for women to leave abusive marriages, a goal that aligned with Woodhull’s desire to escape her own difficult first marriage. In 1871, Woodhull gave a speech at New York City’s Steinway Hall called “The Truth Shall Set You Free.” In it, she said, “I have an inalienable, constitutional, and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere.”

Though she led a highly accomplished life, Woodhull received very little formal education as a child. Her father was a con man and the family made a living as traveling performers, selling homemade remedies and medicines and telling fortunes. During her marriage, Woodhull needed to earn money to supplement the household income and, in addition to more traditional jobs, she took work as a clairvoyant healer, claiming to be able to cure illness through a variety of natural and psychic remedies. It’s hard to know for sure how much of the business was an act and how much she really believed in her abilities; ever since childhood, Woodhull had claimed to be able to connect with dead spirits.

After her divorce, Woodhull continued to earn money telling fortunes and offering “magnetic healing,” often working and traveling with her sister Tennie. It was through her work as a healer during the Civil War that Woodhull met her second husband, James Harvey Blood, a Union Army veteran. While her marriage to Blood lasted only a few short years — “The grandest woman in the world went back on me,” Blood said after their divorce — another connection she made through her work as a clairvoyant, with railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, yielded a literal treasure.

First Woman Stockbroker on Wall Street

Thanks to valuable stock tips from Vanderbilt, Woodhull and her sister were able to amass more than $700,000 (around $16 million today), which they used to start their brokerage firm, Woodhull, Claflin, and Company, in 1870. As the first financial firm on Wall Street owned and operated by women, the company was a shocking novelty, and the press took to calling the sisters the “Bewitching Brokers” and “Queens of Finance.” The sisters went on to found a newspaper, Woodhull and Claflin’s Weekly, which gave Woodhull another platform to support her causes of free love, political reform, and women’s rights. The paper also published the first English translation of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto.

Her Presidential Candidacy Boosted the Cause of Women’s Rights

Woodhull’s run for President in 1872, 50 years before women gained the right to vote, may have seemed like a publicity stunt to many. Lacking the financing to mount a proper campaign, she forged ahead anyway, running on the Equal Rights Party ticket. She campaigned on a platform of women’s suffrage, an eight-hour workday, welfare for the poor, the nationalization of railroads, the regulation of monopolies, and other reforms.

It was, in the end, a symbolic campaign more than anything. Woodhull’s chosen running mate, civil rights activist Frederick Douglass, never even acknowledged the nomination. Though Woodhull’s loss was all but a certainty, the fact that she hadn’t reached the minimum age of 35 required to run for President would have rendered her ineligible even if she had achieved a majority of the votes. Ultimately, the Woodhull-Douglass ticket received a negligible number of votes, and the race resulted in the reelection of incumbent President Ulysses S. Grant.

Even though she was technically ineligible to be elected President, Woodhull stands as the first woman to declare her interest in running for the highest office in the United States. But by the time the 1872 election ended, her radical beliefs and brash actions had started to impact her political reputation. Despite their initial support of Woodhull, women’s suffrage leaders, including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, began to distance themselves from her, signaling the end of Woodhull’s political aspirations. Twice-divorced and facing bankruptcy, Woodhull expatriated to England with her sister in 1877. The move may have been encouraged by the heirs of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who died the previous year. Woodhull built a new life for herself in England, where she married her third husband, banker John Biddulph Martin, and was generally welcomed into aristocratic society.

Woodhull spent the remainder of her life continuing to advocate for suffrage and women’s rights, but she distanced herself from spiritualism and the free love movement. From 1892 to 1901, she and her daughter, Zula, published the journal Humanitarian, which featured a progressive agenda that offered commentary on literature, culture, science, spirituality, and politics. Woodhull also promoted the popular Victorian-era idea of eugenics, selective reproduction designed to eliminate disabilities, diseases, and other traits in the human species. Her interest in what was then called “stirpiculture” likely came from the fact that her son, Byron, had profound developmental disabilities that she attributed to her husband’s alcoholism and her own age and inexperience.

Price of Computer RAM Skyrocketing

AI is skyrocketing the price of RAM. Computers, phones and tablets could be next.

From computers to cellphones and even certain features in cars, a lot of electronics rely on random-access memory, or RAM. It’s the fundamental hardware your computer processor needs to run applications, open files and let you surf the internet.

But if you've been in the market recently for RAM, you've probably noticed a major spike in prices as memory manufacturers pivot more of their production capacity away from consumer products to supplying AI companies instead, which are rapidly building data centres that need massive amounts of memory to operate.

“Prices have absolutely skyrocketed since the beginning of November,” Mark Chen, store manager at Uniway Computers, which sells custom-built PCs with RAM in Calgary, told CBC News in an email.

Back in October, Chen said he could find a 32GB DDR5 memory kit for under $130. By mid-November, the price had more than doubled to around $300.

Now, Chen says, it’s difficult to find that same memory kit for less than $400.
