The weight of ink

What did I learn from reading the Weight of Ink book? Vision about Jews religion education in 17th century. No surprise women discrimination. Not allowed to think , study, write. Different types of Jews,: The Sephardi  Jews from Spain and Portugal, the Ashkenazim  from Germany and East Europe.   History of   Masada. A mountain in Israel, an UNESCO  world heritage site and tourist destination. All Jews living at the top of the mountain kill themselves before the Roman troops arrived. Glimpse into the Israeli volunteer camps, helping with several   tasks to build camps and protect the country. Existence of Benedict De Spinoza or Baruch. A Jew philosopher, named the Prince of philosophers, excommunicated by the Jews in Amsterdam  . " Deus sive natura". God or nature. Pantheism. The view that God and nature are interchangeable.   A doctrine that  identifies God with the u...

No external donations

The importance of no having external donations, in a president campaign, can not be underestimated. The possibility that the candidate can establish his own agenda for policies implementation, with out   listening to donors bureaucracy is key to advancement. The regime will then be focused to utter information to legislators to approve new or changes in laws. However, the code of conduct within the administration    will probably be jeopardized,   as there will be no internal supervision from other inside or political sources. Will be enough then,  to engage  parties   legislators in the rules to approve,   required   to obtain   the pursued results with out much internal   debate on the real benefits .   The scarce participation will not guarantee that the administration is following the right direction. Policies and regulations will experiment rampant biases, to detriment of the straight pursue of imp...

Racism at Britain

After    the latest events at the royal family, it has emerged the feeling that Britain is a racist country. There is a controversial debate which,   in accord with   several media outlets,   signals the country's current and old    racism and other's opinions objecting this confirmation. From   latest tabloid   publications, is evident the marked racism sentiment   and the need to   feed the public,   with every piece of news that aliment the   need for gossip. This practice needed to maintain filled the media owners pockets. Others, most of all middle age white men, justify the media comments   intend , as   possible hypocritical attitudes criticism   and   approve the claims as truly deserved,   considering the taxes paid to maintain the royal family. All this rises a concern about the ability of the government to work towards   eliminating   racism. It will be nec...

Charities promotion

It is evident the difference   in    charities's promotion and support,   in Britain and   North America. Normally   the island's   daily    news,    inform of    royal members   superfluous attendance   to innumerable events    related to highlight charity causes and endeavors.   Not the overseas   case, when having high personalities' attendance   is being done in almost a  surreptitiou s manner, advertised only to the subject's relevant public. Including events at the most venerables foundations or   organizations. Maybe the confirmed success in public attracting,   vindicates the practice in Britain, where royal members  display had been   proved   to be a "good to have" in any fundraising occasion. Nevertheless, the practice sounds archaic, and British   institutions should consider modernizing its public relations, avoiding b...

Law trials

Law trials can be an spectacle where a variety of personality and character traits are displayed, by each of the parties in conflict, all aiming to get the best results for their causes. There would be the case of perfidiou s, treacherous   strategies, developed to confuse and detract facts and events from the truth. Even precociou s defense   lawyers, early understand   that applying this approach will give them some advantage in difficult cases. All these stratagems have its toll in judges'   or jury members' demeanor, represented in   querulous and distrustful attitudes. Also not clear different opinions can highlight rancorous feelings   in the public when their favored beliefs    are   not the victorious ones. Therefore , the importance   to   detect spurious arguments, by applying rigorous investigative methods to substantiate theories and   conspiracies.
