Sinossi

Curious Punishments of Bygone Days is a history book published in 1896. It was written by Alice Morse Earle and printed by Herbert S. Stone & Company. Earle was a historian of Colonial America, and she writes in her introduction:

In ransacking old court records, newspapers, diaries and letters for the historic foundation of the books which I have written on colonial history, I have found and noted much of interest that has not been used or referred to in any of those books. An accumulation of notes on old-time laws, punishments and penalties has evoked this volume.

As the title suggests, the subject of the chapters is various archaic punishments. Morse seems to make a distinction between stocks for the feet, in the Stocks chapter, and stocks for the head, described in the Pillory article- which itself clashes with the modern day understanding of a pillory as a whipping post.

Alice Morse Earle (April 27, 1851 – February 16, 1911) was an American historian and writer from Worcester, Massachusetts.

    While there are a few short articles and guides addressing the challenges and complexities of leading white affinity groups, there has never been a detailed handbook exclusively for white racial affinity group facilitators. There are many challenges in facilitating these groups, including the need to have a deep theoretical understanding of racism, a high degree of racial self-awareness, sensitivity to and the ability to work with the range of skills and degrees of awareness participants bring, and strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills. This book is the first in-depth guide for educators, mediators, workplace consultants and trainers, workplace diversity groups, community organizers, conference organizers, members of faith communities, and members of racial and social justice groups. Dr. Robin DiAngelo and Amy Burtaine, who collectively bring over twenty years of experience leading anti-racist education and racial affinity groups, present the following: · a theoretical framework for understanding racism; · a case for the value of racial affinity groups as a tool for challenging racism; · guidelines for setting up affinity groups in a variety of contexts; · the skills and perspectives needed for effective facilitation; · scenarios to illustrate common challenges; · a glossary of definitions; · exercises, discussion prompts, and assessment tools. · an extensive list of common patterns and group dynamics and how to address them This accessible guide is an important reference for anyone committed to anti-racism work.

When the root pattern in your first 7 years is resolved, any negative emotions related to that will resolve as well. We will build coping mechanisms embracing your inner child and let yourself know that you are always enough and resourceful in any circumstances and situations.

    The Communist Manifesto

    Karl Marx

    "Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains".
    The Communist Manifesto lays out the principles of Marxism, analysing the historical development of class struggles and the dynamics of capitalism. Marx and Engels argue that all history is the history of class conflict, and that capitalism, like previous systems, contains the seeds of its own destruction. Written in 1848, The Communist Manifesto remains one of the most influential political documents ever written, presenting a laser-sharp critique of inequality and presenting a vision for a radically different, classless society where "the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all."
    
    But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883) was a German philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, and revolutionary socialist best known for co-authoring The Communist Manifesto and writing Das Kapital. Due to his political writings, he was forced to live in exile in London, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and publish his writings. His ideas have had enormous influence on political and philosophical thought, laid the foundation for modern communism and have influenced political movements worldwide.
    Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was a German philosopher, social scientist, and political theorist best known for his collaboration with Karl Marx. Born in Barmen, Prussia (now Wuppertal, Germany), Engels came from a wealthy textile manufacturing family. His early experiences in the family business exposed him to the harsh realities of industrial capitalism, which shaped his views on class struggle and social justice. Engels was a strong advocate for workers' rights and played a key role in the development of Marxist thought. He died in 1895 in London, leaving a lasting legacy in political theory.

    Enver Pasha - The Cruel Ottoman...

    It doesn’t seem like Enver Pasha was a good man. His war crimes have caused the deaths of millions of innocent citizens. Sure, during a war and a collapsing empire, you try to do what you can to stop losing, but I doubt anyone in the right mind can justify his actions, which included the slaughter of minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War 1, and even the Armenian Genocide, which consisted of releasing prisoners upon the Armenian population to have their way and abuse, murder, rape, and pillage. Deportation of Armenians to remote areas, away from their homes, caused many to starve, drown, or become severely ill. And to this day, the Turkish government is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the severity of that historical atrocity. 
    Let’s learn more about Enver Pasha in this book, as far as history reaches into the depths of time, and find out what made him the way he became, what circumstances contributed to his reactions and commands, and the details of what he did.
