Sprawy tego, co w XX wieku wyprawiały w swoich koloniach państwa takie jak Wielka Brytania, raczej nie znajdują się w programach nauczania uczniów w brytyjskich szkołach. Oczywiście zbrodnie Brytyjczyków w miejscach takich jak południowa Afryka, Kenia, Bengal, czy kilkanaście innych byłych kolonii, nie dorównują skalą temu co działo się w czasie II wojny światowej choćby w Polsce pod niemiecką okupacją. Tylko, że te działania Brytyjczyków o których opowiem w odcinku - szokują.Materiał zrealizowany na podstawie badań prof. Caroline Elkins opublkowanych w książce "Dziedzictwo przemocy.

Najwierniejsi z wiernych – Polacy, stali u jego boku w chwilach triumfów i klęsk. Do końca lojalni wobec człowieka, który obiecywał im odzyskanie ojczyzny. Wsłuchajmy się w głos tych, którzy stali z Napoleonem ramię w ramię. Prawdziwych żołnierzy Napoleona i prawdziwych Polaków. Po ponad dwustu latach oddajmy im głos. Piotr Korczyński sięga po relacje i wspomnienia wiarusów i po raz pierwszy w takiej formie opowiada niezwykłą historię wojen napoleońskich widzianą z siodeł szwoleżerów z orłem na czapkach.Książka do kupienia

W piątek 13 października 1307 roku wszyscy bracia we Francji – w tym mistrz Jakub z Molay – zostają aresztowani. Poddaje się ich torturom tak aby przyznali do największych bezeceństw. Przez wiele wieków później będzie trwała dyskusja czy zakon faktycznie był siedliskiem satanizmu, sodomii i wszelkich innych zarzucanych mu grzechów. Dobra zakonu zostają skonfiskowane a Wielki Mistrz spalony na stosie wraz z kilkudziesięcioma braćmi. Czy to możliwe że przed tą brutalną likwidacją zakonu bracia z czerwonymi krzyżami zapobiegliwie wytransferowali majątek daleko od Francji? Czy faktycznie mogli na przykład udzielić pożyczki zaprzyjaźnionemu zakonowi niemieckiemu. Są ku temu poszlaki, to przecież już wcześniej Krzyżacy zaczęli budowę Malborka, który stał się największym zamkiem średniowiecznej Europy. A w czasie gdy trwały brutalne przesłuchania templariuszy we Francji, to Krzyżacy przenieśli swoją stolicę z Wenecji właśnie do Malborka. Jak mogła wyglądać współpraca i wzajemne relacje tych dwóch zakonów.Książki Dana Jonesa do kupienia

W roku 1812 w Anglii doszło do pierwszej rewolucji ludzi pracy. Działania zdesperowanych drobnych angielskich rzemieślników wytwarzających dotychczas tkaniny w swoich warsztatach są przedstawiane jako bunt ludzi przeciwko postępowi, przeciwko technologii, ale także i wyzyskowi. Faktycznie, “luddyści” jak ich później nazwano wystąpili przeciw zmianom polegającym na zastępowaniu ich pracy urządzeniami dziewiarskimi, które sprawiały że stawali się zbędni. Co było dalej to wiemy. Społeczny bunt w północnej Anglii był już nawet nie metaforyczną walką z wiatrakami, był po prostu skazaną na porażkę walką z maszynami ze zmieniającym się światem.

Kanut Swensson syn niejakiego Swena Widłobrodego, duńskiego króla, który w 1013 roku uderzył na Wyspy i przejął tu władzę. Następnie władał jednocześnie Anglią, Norwegią i Danią. Stał się największym przyjacielem cesarza, a jego córka weszła do dynastii Salickiej. Jego dominium nazywane było Imperium Morza Północnego. Zapominamy iż ów król Wikingów, władca Anglii i całego imperium Morza Północnego miał w sobie więcej słowiańskiej krwi niż krwi skandynawskiej. Był bowiem wnukiem Mieszka I. Matką Kanuta Wielkiego była córka Mieszka i Dobrawy - Świętosława. Ale to nie wszystko: tego komponentu słowiańskiego we krwi nordyckiego króla było więcej. Jego ojciec, nieustraszony Swen Widłobrody także był pół Słowianinem. Był wprawdzie synem innego słynnego władcy Haralda Sinozębego, ale jego matką była z kolei słowiańska, obodrzyckiej księżniczka Tofa.Partnerem kanału jest marka ETA, producent urządzeń AGD z gwarancją nawet do 10 lat.

Wikingowie pozostawili po sobie ślady na Nowej Fundlandii. Pamiętajmy, że jeszcze pod koniec XX wieku wiedza na temat dokonań i dystansu pokonanego przez Wikingów na Atlantyku była szerzej nieznana, odkrywcą Ameryki nazywano Kolumba, a niejakiego Leifa Erikssona traktowano z przymrużeniem oka. Tymczasem nazwa Winland wymieniona była już średniowiecznych kronikach.Partnerem kanału jest marka ETA, producent urządzeń AGD z gwarancją nawet do 10 lat.

Wyobrażenie o szlachcie jako elicie, właścicielach chłopów posiadanych niczym niewolnicy to mocna historyczna nieścisłość. "Mój chłop" mówi o włościanie bohater popularnego serialu "1670" szlachcic na zagrodzie Jan Paweł. Tymczasem prawda jest nieco inna. Wizerunek sarmackiej szlachty wdrukowany nam poprzez "Trylogię", ostatnią popkulturę czy piszących o uciśnionych chłopach autorów pseudo historycznych książek jest bardziej skomplikowana. Szlachta nie pracuje? To bzdura. Niejeden albo nawet więcej niż połowa szlachciców częściej młócili cepem niż szabelką, a ich codziennym narzędziem nie była husarska lanca a widły.

Czy nasz dzisiejszy szacunek dla Islamu jako monoteistycznej religii ma oznaczać, że powinniśmy zapomnieć jak brutalny i agresywny był dżihad czyli święta wojna. Nawet biorąc pod uwagę miejsca walki i największych bitew Islamu z Zachodem przez wspomnianych tysiąc lat tej długotrwałej wojny, to większość z nich odbywała się jako obrona Europy przed najazdami.

David James Clark, DDS, joins with Dr. George Schmidt during the latest podcast episode. Dr. Clark explains the art and science of monolithic injection-molded composite dentistry and talks about utilizing injection-molding of composites with modern preparations, super-anatomic clear matrices and heated multi-viscosity composite to solve so many problems without resorting to crowns. (Dr Clark is a speaker at AGD's upcoming scientific session in Montreal, July 9-12.) Dr. Clark is director of Bioclear Learning Centers International. He founded the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry, creates curriculum for dental schools and has lectured in 25 countries. He developed the Bioclear Matrix System for placement of biologically appropriate and esthetically pleasing direct composite restorations for facilitating injection-molding of the Clark Class I and Class II preparations, diastema closure, and black triangle elimination combined with papilla regeneration. The Clark Class I and Class II preparations and restorations are now being evaluated in in vivo and in vitro studies. He owns several patents. He published the first guide to dentinal and enamel cracks based on clinical microscope dentistry (16× magnification). Clark is a 1986 graduate of the University of Washington School of Dentistry.
