The game consists of removing the sticks from the tower, one after the other, after the tower has been erected, without of course knocking the tower down.

May 4 seems to many people to be a day that is completely identical to May 3 or 5, with no special features and no known holidays or anniversaries. Nevertheless, May 4th is the day of the Star Wars holiday and is often the occasion for the introduction of new characters that are added and take their place in the Star Wars saga. This holiday is the source of events that are reinforced by festivals and fan-generated concentrations. Some theme parks such as Disney, which bought the Star Wars licence and Lucasfilms in 2013, and other companies, which do not always have direct links with Star Wars, take the opportunity to communicate, celebrate and reinforce May 4th as Star Wars Day.

History of the cup

The Calabrian goblet cup is slightly rounded at the base, with a slightly flared upper rim.

The Etruscan cup made in 1786 for Queen Marie-Antoinette in the Rambouillet dairy.

The jasmine cup, intended for chocolate: slightly flared, on a small base that serves as a pedestal, called a piédouche, it is decorated with animal claws and has rolled handles that are higher than the cup.

The duck cup is small and is used to dip a sugar cube into three drops of coffee.

The same name is given to the cup that bedridden patients drink from. It has a handle for the carer and a long spout that can be slipped between the patient's lips to avoid spilling the liquid. The analogy between the spout and the bird's beak led to the name "duck". The duck was mainly made of earthenware until the end of the 20th century, when this material was replaced by plastic.

The filter or herbal tea cup is large and has a built-in filter.

The broth cup is wide and flared, with a lid and two side handles.

The moustache cup, created at the end of the 19th century, is a cup with a semi-circular inner rim. The rim has a crescent-shaped opening that prevents the liquid from reaching the hair of moustached drinkers.

We know the story of the pottery kiln from an ancient Chinese poem, the "Shuihuzhuan" (poem about the origin of objects). It reads as follows...

There was once a man named Zhou Bo, who had a son named Lu Buwei, who had a daughter named Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei was the first person to make porcelain ware, which she then presented to her father, who liked it so much that he gave her this land, where she built a kiln and started making pots for sale, with her father's blessing (he needed the money, after all!). She sold them very well and soon became rich; however, she wanted to give something back to her parents for their generosity, so she asked her father if he would accept these two cups, which she said were the best ever made. One day Lu Buwei decided to build a kiln so that his sister, Jiang Wei, could make pots. He went into the forest to collect clay and saw beautiful pieces of glazed porcelain lying in the ground among the roots of the trees! He took them home, and the next morning he called his son, Lu Buwei, and told him to take these pieces of porcelain to make pots, and then took him to see the kiln where they had been collected.

Protect the First Order! The Elite Praetorian Guard makes sure the great leader is protected. The guards are equipped with red armour and hunt down the rebels with bravery.

Star-Wars fans.

The elite Praetorian Guards were the guards of Supreme Leader Snoke, serving the First Order during the conflict against the Resistance. They wore red armour and robes reminiscent of the royal guards of Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine.

Description

The name of the elite Praetorian Guards dates back to the time of the 14th Emperor of the Empire of Atrisia. The Guard consisted of eight sentries divided into four pairs, each wielding unique weapons. Each pair of guards wielded a different weapon: two guards, including the First Guard, wielded the electro-bisento, two others, including the Third Guard, wielded the Bilari electro-chain whip, two others, including the Fifth Guard, wielded the vibro-Arbir and the last two wielded the Vibro-Voulge. They were also trained in several martial arts such as the Bakuuni Hand, Teräs Kasii, Echani and techniques from Nar Kanij.

Story 

The elite Praetorian Guards confront Kylo Ren and Rey after Snoke's death.

Serving Supreme Leader Snoke during the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, the elite Praetorian Guards were often found in Snoke's throne room on the Supremacy. They usually stood behind him and were ready to intervene.

Shortly after the Battle of D'Qar, when Kylo Ren went before Snoke and tried to stand up to him, the guards drew their weapons but then decided to put them away after seeing Snoke use Sith lightning on his apprentice. A little later, when Kylo Ren brought Rey to his Master, they again got into a fighting stance when Rey tried to resist Snoke by grabbing Kylo Ren's lightsaber. Finally, they prepared to fight Rey and Ren to avenge Snoke's death, which they had been unable to prevent. A violent duel ensued, during which they demonstrated their considerable combat power. Despite their fierce resistance, all eight Guards were killed by their opponents. The elite Praetorian Guards first appeared in the 2017 film Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Their name was taken from LEGO set leaks on 13 July 2017. The name was confirmed in an interview with Rian Johnson for Entertainment Weekly, in which the director said he was inspired directly by the Roman Praetorian Guard.

History of the cup

Particularity of some cups

In the middle of the 18th century, manufacturers started to produce cups of different sizes: the smallest was called "mignonnette", the most common being 6 cm high. At the end of the century, cups were differentiated according to the drink.

First in Germany, then in Austria and France, porcelain factories started to make "trembling" cups deeply embedded in their high saucer, which prevented the container from slipping. It seems to be used more for chocolate and usually has a handle and sometimes a lid. 

The origin of these cups is Spanish.

The "Queen's" or breakfast cup, also known as the "milk cup", with its strict truncated cone shape and deep saucer, was invented by Sèvres for the morning breakfast, its particularity was to keep the milk hot. Some are without handles and without lid, others have one or two handles and a lid.

The "litron" cup, also called "square cup", with or without a lid, is cylindrical and has an equal diameter and height. It is the ancestor of our coffee cup. It takes its name and shape from an ancient liquid measuring vessel. This cup appeared at the Vincennes factory in 1752.

Dominoes can be played almost anywhere, whether they are made of wood or plastic. In the past, dominoes were made of bone or even ivory. So there are many different kinds of dominoes with countless variations, some of which are very amusing.

A domino is made up of simple blocks that can be combined and assembled in many ways from very simple to very complex. It is a game that requires and demands a lot of skill and strategy. There are Chinese, English and European dominoes....

Archaeologists have reportedly found dominoes in ancient Egypt and among the Arabs, but the origin of the domino is attributed to China around the 12th century. Dominoes first appeared in Europe in Italy in the 18th century and from that time onwards they spread throughout Europe.

Dominoes became the most played game in living rooms, pubs and families, becoming one of the most popular games. Dominoes are played by 2 or 4 people with 28 blocks. Each block is divided in two on the top side and has numbers (but not always), sometimes the same, but often different, but always unique.

The principle of the game is to take turns following a pattern with your blocks, block by block, trying to match the identical face of your block to the identical face of the competitor's block. When a player cannot place a domino, he picks a piece and passes his turn.

The winner is the one who has placed all his dominoes.

This giant domino is a classic game gift, an original gift idea for a birthday or an unusual gift for the holidays.
