Sinopsis

"Old Maritime Rules" masterfully explores the fascinating evolution of maritime laws and practices from ancient civilizations to their lasting impact on modern seafaring. The book reveals how the Phoenicians, as master sailors of the Mediterranean, established the first documented system of maritime protocols around 1200 BCE, creating foundational practices for navigation signals, weather prediction, and cargo handling that would influence centuries of maritime development.Through meticulous analysis of archaeological evidence, translated documents, and maritime artifacts, the book traces how these early maritime codes spread and evolved across different seafaring cultures. The narrative progresses from Phoenician innovations through Greek and Roman adaptations, culminating in the sophisticated Viking sea-laws that introduced advanced navigation techniques for northern waters.The author skillfully demonstrates how these ancient practices form the bedrock of contemporary international maritime law, supporting this connection with evidence from recovered ship logs, trading documents, and harbor regulations. The book stands out for its comprehensive integration of multiple disciplines, combining maritime archaeology, trade history, and modern naval operations to create a complete picture of ancient seafaring regulations.Using newly translated maritime documents and recent archaeological discoveries, it challenges previous assumptions about ancient maritime capabilities while providing practical insights for modern maritime operations. This approach makes the complex subject matter accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in the fascinating intersection of ancient history and modern maritime practices.

    “As simultaneously mysticism and fact, Christianity is a breakthrough in the historical development of humanity, for which the mysteries, with the results that they brought about, form a prior evolutionary stage.” ― 
    Rudolf Steiner 
    During the fall and winter of 1901–02, Steiner gave a series of lectures called “Christianity as Mystical Fact” to members of the Theosophical Society. The lectures were rewritten and issued as a book later that year. They mark a watershed in the development of Western esotericism. Steiner wrote of the idea behind his book: 
    “The title 
    Christianity as Mystical Fact 
    was one I gave to this work eight years ago, when I gathered together the content of lectures given in 1902. It was meant to indicate the special approach adopted in the book. Its theme is not just the mystical side of Christianity in a historical presentation. It was meant to show, from the standpoint of a mystical awareness, how Christianity came into being.

    Striking where the enemy is weakest and melting away into the darkness before he can react. Never confronting a stronger force directly, but using audacity and surprise to confound and demoralize an opponent. Operations driven by good intelligence, area knowledge, mobility, speed, firepower, and detailed planning, and executed by a few specialists with indigenous warriors—this is unconventional warfare. 
     
     
     
    T. E. Lawrence was one of the earliest practitioners of modern unconventional warfare. His tactics and strategies were used by men like Mao and Giap in their wars of liberation. Both kept Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom close at hand. This book examines the creation of the "Hedgehog" force, looks at the formation of armored car sections and other units, and focuses on the Hejaz Operations Staff, the Allied officers and men who took Lawrence's idea and prosecuted it against the Ottoman Turkish army, assisting Field Marshal Allenby to achieve victory in 1918. 
     
     
     
    Stejskal concludes with an examination of how Hedgehog influenced special operations and unconventional warfare, including Field Marshal Wavell, the Long Range Desert Group, and David Stirling's SAS.

    Still struggling from the effects of an abusive relationship? 
    Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. The Gaslight Effect is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known. 
    Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them. 
    DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR? 
     - Doubting yourself and your sanity 
    - Feeling like you’re losing your mind 
    - Feeling like you’re always apologizing 
    - You’re second-guessing your memory 
    - Feeling like you aren’t good enough 
    - Feeling misunderstood 
    - Feeling lonely 
    - Ruined self confidence 
    - Extreme weight loss or weight gain 
    - Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity 
    - Feeling like you don’t know the difference between right and wrong 
    - Extreme paranoia (being turned into an obsessive detective) 
    - Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your ex 
    - Strange dreams 
    - Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression 
    The list goes on…. 
    “NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!” 
    I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot. 
    Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you’re actually going crazy. 
    Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse. 
    Gaslighting is lying with a goal. 
    The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you’re crazy or that your memory doesn’t work right. So you can’t trust yourself and your perceptions of reality.

    Oliver Cromwell - The English...

    Oliver Cromwell was an English army and statesman who led Parliamentary armies against King Charles I throughout the English Civil War. From 1653 till his death in the year 1658, he lead the British army in the British Islands area. 
    Why was he so hated by so many? And is this image of him historically correct? 
    Even though we cannot go back in time 450 years ago, we can certainly try to find the answers in the sources we have. 
    The reason why people thought he was so evil, is because of his brutality against the Irish at that time. Several Irish and English scholars agree that Cromwell was too cruel in Ireland. Other academics blame him of 'ethnic cleansing,' or the systematic expulsion of a certain ethnic population from a territory. It typically entails the execution and deportation of Catholics, and that he is despised by Irish Catholics. 
    Is this true? And why did he do this? 
    Find out more about his time, his life, his circumstances and his legacy.
