  Roman Law and Governance -...

  The foundation of Roman law was deeply rooted in the customs and traditions of early Roman society. Before formal legal codification, Roman law was based on unwritten customs passed down through generations. These customs, known as mos maiorum or "the way of the ancestors," guided legal practices and social norms. However, as Rome expanded, the need for a more structured and consistent legal system became evident. This led to the development of one of the earliest recorded legal codes, the Twelve Tables, which became the cornerstone of Roman law. 
  The Twelve Tables, established around 450 BCE, were a response to demands from the plebeians for greater legal transparency. Prior to this, laws were primarily controlled by the patrician class, leaving the lower classes vulnerable to arbitrary decisions. The Twelve Tables provided a written and publicly displayed set of laws that covered various aspects of daily life, including property rights, contracts, family matters, and criminal offenses. While these laws were often harsh by modern standards, they were crucial in establishing the principle that law should be known and applied equally to all citizens. 
  Legal interpretation played a crucial role in the early Roman legal system, and the pontiffs, a group of religious and legal authorities, were responsible for explaining and applying the laws. Since early Roman law was closely linked to religious practices, the pontiffs held significant influence over legal matters. Over time, however, legal decision-making shifted from religious authorities to magistrates and elected officials, paving the way for a more secular and systematic approach to governance.

  Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator and explorer who made 4 explorations across the Atlantic Ocean, paving the course for European discovery and settlement of the Americas. His journeys were the first European contacts with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, and were financed by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. 
  Christopher Columbus is an Anglicization of “Christophorus Columbus,” a Latin name. Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a Ligurian dialect as his mother tongue, according to most intellectuals. He went to sea at an early age and traveled all over the world, as far north as the British Islands and as far south as Ghana. He wed Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, a Portuguese noblewoman, and resided in Lisbon for some years, but later on wed a Castilian girlfriend, with whom he had one child. Columbus, who was primarily self-taught, was skilled in geography, astronomy, and history. He created a technique to find a western sea path to the East Indies, with the objective of benefiting from the wealthy spice trade. 
  Christopher Columbus has had a huge impact on the discovery of the American continent, and is still honored and respected to this day, despite of the controversies around his behavior and interaction with the locals. Let’s see what these contradicting opinions are all about.

  Screaming on the Inside - The...

  In this timely and necessary book, New York Times opinion writer Jessica Grose dismantles two hundred years of unrealistic parenting expectations and empowers today’s mothers to make choices that actually serve themselves, their children, and their communities 
  Close your eyes and picture the perfect mother. She is usually blonde and thin. Her roots are never showing and she installed that gleaming kitchen backsplash herself (watch her TikTok for DIY tips). She seamlessly melds work, wellness and home; and during the depths of the pandemic, she also ran remote school and woke up at 5 a.m. to meditate. 
  You may read this and think it’s bananas; you have probably internalized much of it. 
  Journalist Jessica Grose sure had. After she failed to meet every one of her own expectations for her first pregnancy, she devoted her career to revealing how morally bankrupt so many of these ideas and pressures are. Now, in Screaming on the Inside, Grose weaves together her personal journey with scientific, historical, and contemporary reporting to be the voice for American parents she wishes she’d had a decade ago. 
  The truth is that parenting cannot follow a recipe; there’s no foolproof set of rules that will result in a perfectly adjusted child. Every parent has different values, and we will have different ideas about how to pass those values along to our children. What successful parenting has in common, regardless of culture or community, is close observation of the kind of unique humans our children are. In thoughtful and revelatory chapters about pregnancy, identity, work, social media, and the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic, Grose explains how we got to this moment, why the current state of expectations on mothers is wholly unsustainable, and how we can move towards something better.
