History of Victorian England

  In late Victorian London, poverty was so widespread that even sleep came at a cost. One of the cheapest forms of shelter for the homeless was the "four-penny coffin," a wooden box where a person could lie down for the night, often covered with nothing more than a tarpaulin. For those who couldn't afford even that, a two-penny alternative existed: a bench and a rope stretched across the chest to keep a person upright as they slept. This grim arrangement came to be known as the "two-penny hangover"—a haunting image of hardship and endurance in a time when survival itself was a nightly struggle. Despite popular belief, the term "hangover" did not originate from this rope-sleeping practice. While it makes for a compelling tale, linguistic research shows that the word originally referred to the lingering effects of something left unfinished-such as unresolved business from a meeting. It wasn't until the early 20th century, around 1904, that "hang...

Analysis of the Recent Pakistan-India Skirmishes: Military Balance, Damages, Diplomatic Implications, and Nuclear Risk

I wanted to learn more, so I started a journey of research with Gemini   and ended up with a well-established report that explains the root cause of the conflict (without going deeply into the historic events), the military capabilities of both countries, the risk of actual nuclear exchange, and recommendations to prevent the catastrophic outcomes that could materialize in case further escalation takes place. I enjoyed reading it, and here I'm sharing it publicly: Executive Summary The recent escalation of tensions between Pakistan and India in April-May 2025, triggered by a d...

It's been a while since i'm focused on reading books that discusses group dynamics, management, productivity and organizational structures. i'm finding so many interesting ideas and frameworks to learn, share and use through my daily tasks in my current job. in one of the ascent books i was reviewing (when i say ascent, i mean written in the 60's) a found an interesting story that talk about rewards in work environment and how it affect negatively as much as positively on the end results. it goes like this: "A weekend fisherman looked over the side of his boat and saw a snake with a frog in its mouth.  Feeling sorry for the frog, he reached down, gently removed the frog from the snake's mouth and let the frog go free. But now he felt sorry for the hungry snake. Having no food, he took out a flask of bourbon and poured a few drops into the snake's mouth. The snake swam away happy, the frog was happy and the man was happy for having performed such ...
