Podcasts about bierut

Cześć! W najnowszym odcinku, tuż przed Wielkanocą, postanowiłem pokazać, jak odradzała się Polska po II wojnie światowej. W tamtym czasie najważniejszą postacią w państwie był Bolesław Bierut – lider Polskiej Partii Robotniczej, przemianowanej później na Polską Zjednoczoną Partię Robotniczą, a także prezydent kraju.Nie skupiłem się jednak na polityce. Tym razem opowiadam o codziennym życiu zwykłych ludzi. Gdzie mieszkali? Jak wyglądała ich codzienność? Co jedli i czy mogli liczyć na opiekę lekarską? Nie ma wątpliwości – życie w powojennej Polsce nie należało do łatwych. O wszystko trzeba było walczyć.Tę szarą rzeczywistość oplatały też macki systemu, który chciał kontrolować każdą dziedzinę życia. Lekarz przestał być wolnym zawodem. Repertuar kin podporządkowano propagandzie. A jeśli ktoś miał dwa lub więcej mieszkań – państwo kwaterowało lokatorów bez pytania właściciela o zgodę.Jeśli jesteście ciekawi, jak wyglądało życie w Polsce Ludowej tuż po wojnie – zapraszam na nowy odcinek.

Explore the life and legacy of graphic design pioneer Jacqueline Casey, whose bold, modernist posters defined MIT's visual identity for decades — with insights from designer Michael Bierut, we uncover how Casey infused Swiss design principles with American ingenuity, led campus-wide design efforts, and created work that remains timeless and influential._______Support this podcast with a small donation: Buy Me A CoffeeThis show is powered by Nice PeopleJoin this podcast and the Patreon community: patreon.com/womendesignersyoushouldknowHave a 1:1 mentor call with Amber Asay: intro.co/amberasay_______Sources:Article: Eye Magazine Feature "Jacqueline Casey. Science and design"Article on Thérèse MollAbout Jacqueline (Jackie)Jacqueline Casey was a pioneering graphic designer whose work defined the visual identity of MIT for over three decades. Born in 1927 in Quincy, Massachusetts, she studied fashion design and illustration at MassArt before finding her way into graphic design. In 1955, her lifelong friend Muriel Cooper recruited her to the MIT Office of Publications, where Casey absorbed the principles of Swiss modernism and gave them her own twist—infusing wit, visual metaphors, and bold typography into her work.As Director of MIT's Design Services Office, she led campus-wide design efforts, creating posters and materials for scientific conferences, exhibitions, and cultural events. Her ability to simplify complex ideas with elegance and playfulness made her work timeless and celebrated globally. Today, her posters are held in the collections of MoMA, the Cooper Hewitt, and the MIT Museum, solidifying her as a quiet yet powerful force in modernist design history. About MichaelMichael Bierut is one of the most influential graphic designers of our time. A partner at Pentagram since 1990, his work spans iconic logos, brand identities, and campaigns for clients like The New York Times, Mastercard, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Bierut has been a longtime educator at Yale, co-founded Design Observer, and authored celebrated books, including How to Use Graphic Design to Sell Things. His work is held in the permanent collections of MoMA and the Cooper Hewitt, and his thought leadership continues to shape the design world.Follow Michael:Instagram: @mbierutWebsite: Pentragram.comThreads: @mbierut ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Hej, zapraszam Was na najnowszy odcinek! Jak wyglądały przyjęcia u Stalina na daczy w Kuncewie, co w swoim barku w Belwederze miał Bierut, a także co w Warszawie wyprawiał Breżniew - tego dowiecie się oglądając ten film. Zdecydowałem się poruszyć dość zawstydzający wątek w historii komunistycznych władz w PRL. Alkohol był poważnym problemem w partii rządzącej krajem po 1945 roku. Kłopoty z opanowaniem swoich nałogów mieli zarówno działacze na szczytach władzy jak i Ci najniższego szczebla. Niekiedy dochodziło do kuriozalnych sytuacji choć media bynajmniej na ten temat nie informowały. Jednocześnie wśród wielu Polaków narastała frustracja ich Polską zarządzają pijacy i degeneraci, a obraz przedstawiany w komediach Barei niekiedy niewiele odbiegał od szarej rzeczywistości PRL. Więcej na ten temat dowiecie się z filmu!

The Season 8 Premiere of Meet the Creatives with Michael Beirut, Partner at Pentagram. Michael Bierut studied graphic design at the University of Cincinnati's College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, graduating summa cum laude in 1980. He worked for ten years at Vignelli Associates before joining Pentagram as a partner in 1990. His clients at Pentagram have included The New York Times, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Robin Hood Foundation, MIT Media Lab, Mastercard, Bobby Flay Bold Foods, Princeton University, the New York Jets, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Playwrights Horizons. As a volunteer to Hillary Clinton's communications team, he designed the H logo that was ubiquitous throughout her 2016 presidential campaign. Bierut served as president of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) from 1988 to 1990 and is president emeritus of AIGA National. He also serves on the boards of the Architectural League of New York and the Library of America. Bierut was elected to the Alliance Graphique Internationale in 1989, to the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 2003, and was awarded the profession's highest honor, the AIGA Medal, in 2006. He was winner in the Design Mind category at the 2008 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards. In 2016, he was the Henry Wolf Resident in Graphic Design at the American Academy in Rome. Bierut is a senior critic in graphic design at the Yale School of Art and a lecturer in the practice of design and management at the Yale School of Management. He is a cofounder of the website Design Observer and is the co-editor of the five-volume series Looking Closer: Critical Writings on Graphic Design published by Allworth Press. Michael's book 79 Short Essays on Design was published in 2007 by Princeton Architectural Press. A monograph on his work, How to use graphic design to sell things, explain things, make things look better, make people laugh, make people cry and (every once in a while) change the world was published in 2015 by Harper Collins. His collection of new essays, Now You See It, was published in fall 2017.

Premier Tusk uważa, że sprawa reparacji od Niemiec jest prawnie zamknięta. My uważamy, że decyzje, które podjął Bierut w tej sprawie są nieważne. Prawo i Sprawiedliwość na poziomie sejmu złożyło projekt uchwały, który miał być początkiem dyskusji, wciąż czekamy na rozmowy w sprawie sytuacji prawnej w Polsce. Marszałek Sejmu Szymon Hołownia nie zrobił z tym nic. Polacy powinni odpowiedzieć sobie na pytanie czy stanowisko rządu wobec inwestycji takich jak CPK im odpowiada. To stanowisko nie jest wspólne z interesem Polski.

Czy decyzja prezydenta Dudy podważa jego autorytet? Czy Polska oddala się od demokratycznych rządów? Czy komisja weryfikacyjna będzie wykorzystywana jako narzędzie wyborcze? O kontrowersyjnej decyzji głowy państwa Kamila Biedrzycka rozmawia z wicemarszałkiem sejmu Piotrem Zgorzelskim z Trzeciej Drogi. Posłuchaj całej dyskusji!

Abstract: Memory problems are common among older adults with a history of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Employing a machine learning framework, the current study investigates the use of multi-domain features to classify individuals with and without alcohol-induced memory problems. A group of 94 individuals (ages 50-81 years) with alcohol-induced memory problems (Memory group) were compared with a matched Control group who did not have memory problems. The Random Forests model identified specific features from each domain that contributed to the classification of Memory vs. Control group (AUC=88.29%). Specifically, individuals from the Memory group manifested a predominant pattern of hyperconnectivity across the default mode network regions except some connections involving anterior cingulate cortex which were predominantly hypoconnected. Other significant contributing features were (i) polygenic risk scores for AUD, (ii) alcohol consumption and related health consequences during the past 5 years, such as health problems, past negative experiences, withdrawal symptoms, and the largest number of drinks in a day during the past 12 months, and (iii) elevated neuroticism and increased harm avoidance, and fewer positive "uplift" life events. At the neural systems level, hyperconnectivity across the default mode network regions, including the connections across the hippocampal hub regions, in individuals with memory problems may indicate dysregulation in neural information processing. Overall, the study outlines the importance of utilizing multidomain features, consisting of resting-state brain connectivity collected ~18 years ago, together with personality, life experiences, polygenic risk, and alcohol consumption and related consequences, to predict alcohol-related memory problems that arise in later life.

Across his four-decade-long career in graphic design, Michael Bierut has amassed an impressively robust tally of bold-faced clients. From The New York Times, Saks Fifth Avenue, and the Robin Hood Foundation to Mastercard, the New York Jets, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Bierut and his team at the multidisciplinary design firm Pentagram—which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with a two-volume book from the publisher Unit Editions, and where he has been a partner since 1990—have crafted some of the most unforgettable, standout identities and graphics around. Perhaps most notable in recent years, Bierut devised the unequivocal “H” logo used throughout Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Consistently fueled by the sheer delight he finds in design, Bierut is also a co-founder of the website Design Observer, launched in 2003 and among the first online platforms dedicated entirely to design. With everything he creates, Bierut whittles each of his concepts down to its most essential core, ultimately arriving at something that feels both rigorously thought through and inevitable in its simplicity.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Bierut talks with Andrew about the integral practice of keeping notebooks throughout his life; the deep groundedness of his nearly lifelong relationship with his wife and high-school sweetheart, Dorothy Kresz; and why the “why” of design is far more important to him than the “how.”Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Michael Bierut01:13:57 Pentagram00:23:28 Design Observer01:23:40 Mastercard logo01:30:44 The Library Initiative01:39:26 How To01:39:59 Pentagram: Living by Design 

Był rok 1955. Stalin umarł dwa lata wcześniej, Bierut jeszcze żył, ale w powietrzu czuć było nadchodzącą odwilż. W takich okolicznościach w Warszawie odbył się V Światowy Festiwal Młodzieży i Studentów. Do Polski zjechali młodzi ludzie z krajów demokracji ludowej, by Polaków poznać i, być może przede wszystkim, iść z nimi do łóżka. Festiwal był momentem polskiej rewolucji seksualnej.Czy jednak: momentem jedynym? Jak zmieniało się polskie podejście do seksu – od przedwojennej, silnie zerotyzowanej epoki przez okupację i komunizm? Co działo się w Polsce w roku 1968, kiedy we Francji i w Stanach Zjednoczonych rozpoczęła się światowa rewolta w dziedzinie erotyki? Jak to wszystko zmienił rok 1989 – wejście do naszego kraju pornografii i pism radzących, jak mieć dobry orgazm – a jak akces do Unii Europejskiej, otwarcie granic i program Erasmus? Co przyniósł Tinder, a co wydarzenia roku 2020?To temat rozmowy z Sylwią Chutnik – pisarką, autorką powieści „Tyłem do kierunku jazdy”, która o seksie traktuje i właśnie podczas festiwalu w 1955 r. się zaczyna. Wraz z prozaiczką przyglądamy się kolejom polskiego życia erotycznego i temu, co je ukształtowało. Bez gry wstępnej – oto rozmowa.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Powojenna Polska, poddana dyktatowi "Kraju Rad", nie była niewzruszonym monolitem terytorialnym. Graniczna linia się zmieniała, jak w przypadku "korekty" zgodnie z "umową" z ZSRR sprzed 71 lat - z 15 lutego 1951 r. Piszę te słowa w cudzysłowie, bo są eufemizmami. Propagandowa "korekta" była prawdziwą tragedią dla mieszkańców tych ziem, a "umowa" była stalinowskim dyktatem. Towarzysz Bolesław Bierut, zwany "prezydentem", zrobił gest "ruki pa szwam", stanął na baczność i uczynił to, co mu w Moskwie kazali. Dlatego na antenie radia RMF24 w rozmowie z dr Piotrem Olechowskim, historykiem z Instytutu Pamięci Narodowej, nie chciały mi przejść przez usta oficjalne terminy.

Marcin Fryncko jest wideo blogerem. Razem rozmawialiśmy o książce “Dzień wagarowicza”.Zaczęliśmy jednak od pytania: czy czytelnicy to snoby? Później rozmawialiśmy o wyznaczaniu sobie celów czytelniczych na cały rok.Autor “Dnia wagarowicza” czyli Robert Ziębiński jest dziennikarzem, który ma na koncie kilka książek, w tym dwie o Stephenie Kingu.Tłem historycznym dla powieści jest śmierć Bieruta w 1956 roku oraz przejęcie władzy przez Edwarda Ochaba. Ojciec dla bezpieczeństwa wysyła córkę na Mazury. Niestety tam właśnie dochodzi do ataków na ludzie przez jakieś bestie z lasu.Autor to tło historyczne potraktował dość lekko. Bohaterką jest Inga Ochab - nieistniejąca córka I sekretarza PZPR Edwarda Ochaba. Drugą ważną postacią jest Roman, ukrywający się były żołnierz AK. Autor zaczyna swoją historię od wstępu. Czy był on potrzebny? Czy raczej wybija czytelnika i nie pozwala się zanurzyć w fabule?Robert Ziębiński używa trochę gwary mazowieckiej, ale bez przesady.Marcin Fryncko - kanał na YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQDhwbVplG2ovFhQe-AB6A/videosrecenzja Dnia Wagarowicza na kanale Marcina:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUKCPol-e8Ewideo: "Czy czytelnicy to snoby"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrCzLK_sSCk

Józef Stalin - jak się okazało - miał ogromny wkład w powstanie konstytucji PRL w roku 1952. Podobno jego osobiste poprawki pozwoliły zachować biało-czerwone barwy flagi i orła na godle narodowym. Reszta była kopią podobnych "konstytucji" krajów demokracji ludowej. Co ciekawe nowa władza socjalistyczna już od roku 1944 nawiązywała do rozwiązań prawnoustrojowych II Rzeczpospolitej i co najważniejsze nie inspirowała się mało demokratyczną konstytucją z roku 1935, co w sumie byłoby wygodne, ale bazowała na konstytucji marcowej z roku 1921.

W tym odcinku robimy sobie mini wakacje. Jesteśmy nad Bałtykiem, w Zoppocie, jednym z najmodniejszych kurortów niemieckiej riwiery. Odwiedzamy rodzinę Claaszenów w ich imponującej, eklektycznej willi. Po latach zamieszka tu m.in. prezydent Bierut i premier Cyrankiewicz z Niną Andrycz, a potem będzie tu Muzeum Sopotu. Jaką historię opowiedzą nam wnętrza willi? Więcej na:https://www.facebook.com/Gablotkipodcast https://www.instagram.com/gablotki/

Michael Bierut worked for ten years at Vignelli Associates, ultimately as vice president of graphic design. He then joined Pentagram in 1990 as a partner in the firm’s New York office. Bierut’s projects at Pentagram have included identity and branding for Verizon, MIT Media Lab, and the New York Jets; environmental graphics and signage for The New York Times, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Robin Hood Foundation, and the Walt Disney Company, and so many more projects in every discipline of design. He has won hundreds of design awards, work is represented in the permanent collections of the MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and in 1989, Bierut was elected to the Alliance Graphique Internationale. If that all wasn’t enough, Bierut is a Senior Critic in Graphic Design at the Yale School of Art. In this episode, we speak with Michael about the branding and identity work he did for Playwrights Horizons, an independent theater in New York City.

Der polnische Historiker Piotr Madajczyk (Warschau) sprach in seinem Vortrag über den stalinistischen Terror in der Volksrepublik Polen. Spätestens mit der Vereinigung von Kommunisten und Sozialisten im Dezember 1948 waren die letzten Hindernisse auf dem Weg zur Diktatur beseitigt. Unter ihrem Generalsekretär Bolesław Bierut, der selbst Gegenstand eines pompösen Personenkultes wurde, überzogen die Kommunisten das Land mit Terror und Gewalt.
