Luzern, Switzerland - April 9, 2019 /PressCable/ —

Myths and legends are essential for understanding the history and culture of countries throughout the world. These stories often carry good messages about goodness, cleverness, or bravery. Also, reading myths can help people to learn a lot about history and human nature. Furthermore, there are usually some fictitious characters in these stories. They could be metaphors for good or bad attributes and characteristics. Or sometimes, those creatures explain the origin of a particular country. Nevertheless, those myths and legends can highly positively affect children’s imagination.

The most popular mythical stories are Greek and Roman. However, many other countries across the world have fantastic myths. One of them is Switzerland, with incredible stories such as William Tell, the Basilisk, or the Miracle ship. A startup from Lucerne, Varsy’s, decided to revive these myths and to make them accessible to the whole world. They create playful and multilingual products – legendboxes, wooden magnets, and coloring book. All these products include myths which are the basis of Swiss cultural heritage. Hence, it is an excellent way of introducing Swiss culture to a worldwide audience. Also, their products come from forests which provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

Varsy’s legends of Switzerland are now also available at Swiss largest online store – Swiss Made Direct. Since there is also an Easter discount of 19% on Varsy’s products at this store, this might be the right time for customers to pick these wooden beauties. Speaking about Varsy’s products, CEO of Swiss Made Direct said: “Varsy’s legends of Switzerland are a great educational tool for people who want to teach their kids about Swiss history and cultural heritage. Also, these products are playful, and both parents and kids will have a lot of fun. Learning and playing is the greatest combination. However, there is also a discount of 19%, to glad loyal customers who would enjoy these myths and legends.”

Brewers rout Rays to reach brink of World Series sweep

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — With a devastating 16-hit batting performance and masterful pitching by Robert Gasser, the Milwaukee Brewers routed Tampa Bay, 10-1, on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), reaching the brink of a World Series sweep. Left-handed starter Gasser threw six shutout innings, allowing only one hit with a walk and three strikeouts in facing the minimum 18 batters. “It was awesome,” Gasser said. “We’re going to enjoy tonight. It was a great team win. But we’ve got work to do.” Jackson Chourio, a 22-year-old Venezuelan outfielder, went 4-for-5 at the plate, scored twice, stole a base and also drove in a run in the Brewers’ historic eight-run fifth inning to humble the Rays. All eight runs came with two outs in the inning, a World Series record, and Milwaukee batters made seven consecutive hits, a playoff first. “It was special for sure,” Chourio said through a translator. “We’ve been preparing for this day. We’ve known it was coming. We have one more to lock in for tomorrow to complete the mission.” The Brewers seized a 3-0 lead in Major League Baseball’s best-of-seven final and can win the first title in team history with a triumph in Game 4 on Tuesday at Tropicana Field. “There’s still one more game to go for us to win,” Gasser said. “I know everybody is eager to do it, and we’re going to show up tomorrow ready to go.” Gasser became the first lefty to face the minimum over six innings in a World Series clash since Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1965. The Rays managed a run in the ninth but only three hits in the game. Chourio raced home from second base on a Christian Yelich single in the third inning to score the first run and William Contreras drove in another with a hit to right field for a 2-0 lead. The Brewers, whose only prior World Series was a 1982 loss to St. Louis in seven games, had two one-run wins to start the Series but overwhelmed Tampa Bay with a barrage in the fifth. Chourio singled, stole second and advanced to third on a Contreras single that loaded the bases as Rays starter Freddy Peralta, who had played for Milwaukee the past eight seasons, was lifted for relief pitcher Cam Booser. Brice Turang followed with a two-run single up the middle, Garrett Mitchell added a single to score Contreras, and Cooper Pratt followed with a two-run double to left field for a 7-0 Brewers lead. Sal Frelick doubled in Pratt for an 8-0 Milwaukee edge, bringing on Rays reliever Cole Sulser, who promptly surrendered a single to David Hamilton to drive in Frelick for a 9-0 lead. Chourio concluded the stunning streak with a double to right field to score Hamilton for a 10-0 Brewers lead. Gasser, meanwhile, had to wait for an extra 45 minutes before returning to the mound, watching the amazing streak with glee. “It was special. I had a smile on my face the whole time,” Gasser said. “It was just surreal when something like that happens.” Chourio’s eight hits through three games are the second-most in World Series history after nine by Billy Hatcher for Cincinnati in 1990. “My mentality is to stay on top of the ball and hit line drives,” Chourio said. “I consider myself more of a hitter than a home run hitter.” Chourio became the youngest player to ever begin a World Series with three multi-hit games, delivering singles in the first, third and fifth innings on Monday.

Cavs edge Timberwolves in overtime

LOS ANGELES, California — The Cleveland Cavaliers ended the Minnesota Timberwolves’ perfect start to the NBA season, winning 127-125 in an overtime thriller despite 47 points from Anthony Edwards. Donovan Mitchell and James Harden led the scoring for the victorious Cavs, with 26 and 19 points apiece, as Cleveland moved to 2-1. “Tough win for us, especially early in the season,” said Harden, who added four rebounds and nine assists. The Timberwolves, having won their opening three games, led for much of the night, with a 15-point advantage in the first half. Edwards, only cleared to play late after being listed as questionable with a right knee injury, had made an electric start, with 11 points in the first quarter. But the Cavaliers rallied to pull level in the third quarter, and then had to come from behind again after slipping to a seven-point deficit in the fourth. Harden’s driving floater with 10 seconds remaining tied the game, and a blocked Edwards layup with four seconds left sent it to overtime at 113-113. With just a minute left in overtime, Edwards tied the game again with a trey so close to the arc that a video replay was required. But Mitchell reestablished Cleveland’s lead with a go-ahead midrange jumper, and when Minnesota’s Jonathan Kuminga missed a free throw with 30 seconds left, the Cavaliers pulled clear. Harden made two more free throws, leaving the Timberwolves requiring three points, but Edwards’ clutch effort bounced off the rim. Peyton Watson poured in two more free throws for Cleveland to bury the contest. “We made a lot of mistakes on both ends of the basketball in that first half... second half, we did a better job,” said Harden. Elsewhere, the Oklahoma City Thunder improved to 4-0 with a hard-fought 125-114 win over the Phoenix Suns. Ajay Mitchell led the scoring with a career-high 30, supported by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who added 26. “This league is about winning games, and that’s all that matters,” said Gilgeous-Alexander. “We were just ready to go. Guys were ready to go. Guys were ready to step up,” added the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player. Perfect night The Houston Rockets also stayed perfect with a 120-110 win over the Atlanta Hawks. It is their first 4-0 start since 2014, with star Kevin Durant rested for the entire fourth quarter in an ultimately comfortable win. Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his first triple-double with new team Miami even as the Heat (0-4) suffered a 113-109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Antetokounmpo, a two-time league Most Valuable Player who left the Milwaukee Bucks this summer, scored 29 points with 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Mavericks teen star Cooper Flagg also scored 29, with 11 assists, six rebounds and a career-high five steals. The Grizzlies also improved to 4-0 with a 110-105 win over the Utah Jazz, while Brandon Miller scored 39 points as the Charlotte Hornets beat the Washington Wizards, 110-103. And the Golden State Warriors earned their first victory of the season with a 134-114 triumph over the Denver Nuggets. Stephen Curry made 8-of-8 field goal attempts for 24 points. “Just staying patient. We’ve been working on some offensive approach where I know I get a lot of attention, trying not to force things,” he said. “I didn’t know it was going to be a perfect night like that, but glad it all came together.”
