Under kalla kriget byggdes ett omfattande nätverk av bunkrar och bergrum över hela landet – från dolda kommandocentraler till självförsörjande skyddsrum. Dessa anläggningar var konstruerade för att motstå attacker och möjliggöra liv under jord i veckor, med egna energikällor och vattenreningssystem.Rykten om hemliga tunnlar och aktiva bunkrar lever kvar, och vissa tror att anläggningar än idag står redo vid en ny kris. Dessa konstruktioner har blivit föremål för många myter och konspirationsteorier. Forumet Flashbacks tråd om Riksbunkern har över 8 000 inlägg.I podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved, till vardags verksam vid Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut.Under andra världskriget byggdes civila och militära anläggningar för att skydda befolkningen. Men under kalla kriget genomsyrade bunkrarna det svenska landskapet – från enkla skyddsrum i stadskärnorna till underjordiska komplex konstruerade för att motstå kärnvapenattacker.Bunkrarna byggdes inte bara av militära skäl utan även för att inge trygghet. Myndigheterna betonade vikten av beredskap men hemlighöll detaljer om de mest strategiska anläggningarna. Detta skapade en dubbel verklighet: en öppen diskussion om civilförsvaret och en hemlig försvarsstruktur.Efter andra världskriget ersattes hotet från Nazityskland av fruktan för Sovjetunionen, vilket ledde till en ny försvarsstrategi där hela samhället skulle kunna motstå en attack. Skyddsrummen blev en integrerad del av stadsbilden och totalförsvaret utvecklades.Under kalla kriget byggdes bunkrar, bergrum och kommandocentraler över hela landet. En del var offentliga skyddsrum, men många var dolda och endast tillgängliga för militära eller statliga funktioner. Bergrumsanläggningar som Hemsö fästning och Aspöanläggningarna var en del av en hemlig försvarsstruktur inför en eventuell sovjetisk invasion.Bunkrarna skulle fungera som självförsörjande enheter under lång tid. Många hade egna energikällor, vattenreningssystem och förråd. Vissa kunde hysa hundratals personer i flera veckor, medan andra var mindre observations- eller sambandscentraler.Många historier om kalla krigets försvarsanläggningar lever kvar. Vissa tror på ett nätverk av tunnlar som förbinder bunkrarna, medan andra spekulerar i att vissa anläggningar fortfarande är operativa.En seglivad myt är att det finns ett dolt tunnelsystem under Stockholm som kopplar samman strategiska byggnader. Enligt vissa teorier skulle det kunna användas av regeringen vid en attack, medan andra tror att det är en kombination av gamla järnvägstunnlar och gångar som med tiden fått en mytisk aura.En av de mest omtalade anläggningarna är Riksbunkern, som enligt rykten skulle fungera som en skyddad plats för regeringen vid krig. Dess exakta plats och funktion är okända, men den sägs vara insprängd i berget någonstans i Stockholmsområdet och utrustad för att hysa landets ledning under en längre tid.Bildtext: Femörefortet i Oxelösund – en av Sveriges mest avancerade kustförsvarsanläggningar under kalla kriget.

Probably Poland's most iconic sound, the hejnał mariacki (literally "Saint Mary's dawn") is a trumpet call that sounds every hour on the hour from the highest tower of St Mary's Church in Kraków's rynek glówny (main square). The bugler plays the same call four times, once in each of the cardinal directions. This tradition dates back to medieval times, when the call was used to signal the opening and closing of the city gates at dawn and dusk. It was also played to alarm citizens of fires or enemy invasion. The theme's abrupt end commemorates the Mongol-Tatar siege of 1241, when the trumpeter warning the city of the imminent threat was shot in the throat by an arrow mid-way through the call. Or so the legend goes... I made this recording a couple of months after moving to Kraków as part of a project through which I attempted to reconnect with my Polish-Jewish heritage and, in a more general sense, to explore the experience of migration through sound.

"This piece reimagines a field recording of everyday people calling out, treating their voices not just as source material, but as the foundation. Approached with deep intention, it aimed to honour the original rhythms and harmonies of the callers without overpowering them. "The composition moves between ambient stillness and percussive energy, layering textures like tracked flute and analogue synth around the calls to reflect a natural, evolving dialogue. At its core, the work is about preservation through transformation, responding to what already resonates with care, space, and trust."

Read Online“The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.” Matthew 6:22–23Every Scripture passage, in a spiritual sense, can teach us many lessons. Saint Thomas Aquinas, in his commentary on Matthew's Gospel, offers one interpretation to the passage quoted above by saying that the “eye” in this passage refers to your intention and “your whole body” refers to all of your actions that follow from your intention. Therefore, when your intentions are in line with God's will, the actions that follow will be also. This is a very practical and useful lesson for your journey toward holiness.With this insight from Saint Thomas, we must look at our intentions in an honest and complete way. What are your intentions in life? It's easy for us to form various intentions that may seem good as well as some that are contrary to the will of God without even realizing it. We may intend to get a good night's sleep on one occasion. Or intend to have fun with family and friends on a certain day. Or we may intend to cook a good meal, clean the house, do well at work, etc. There are many momentary intentions that are good and are a normal part of daily living. However, the most important intention to consider is that which is the deepest of them all. What is the most central, foundational, and fundamental intention by which your life is directed?The primary intention that you should work to acquire is to give God the greatest glory possible in all that you do. Giving glory to God is accomplished when you choose Him and His holy will above everything else in life. When this is the deepest and most fundamental intention of your life, everything else will flow from it. All secondary intentions and actions will align with this central focus and work toward its accomplishment. But when there are other “first intentions” that you have on the most fundamental level, then all the rest of your intentions and actions will be misguided and directed in a disordered way.Reflect, today, upon the most fundamental intention you have in life. Doing so will require a considerable amount of interior reflection and honesty. It will require that you sort through the many things that motivate you and the decisions you make each and every day. Reflect upon the primary purpose of your life, which must be to give God the greatest glory possible by choosing and living His perfect will. Do all of your daily actions align with this ultimate goal? Commit yourself to the holy work of examining all of your actions in this light so that you will more fully achieve the purpose for which you were created.God of all glory, You and You alone are worthy of all my praise. Your will and Your will alone must become the foundation of all that I choose in life. Give me the spiritual insight I need to look deeply at all that motivates me and all of my most interior intentions in life. May all of my intentions and all of my actions have as their goal Your eternal glory.

Vikingatidens människor trodde på ett oundvikligt slut – Ragnarök – där världen skulle förgås i eld, mörker och kaos, för att därefter återfödas i en ny skepnad. Men den verkliga omvandlingen var en långsam och genomgripande process som lade grunden för medeltiden.På 1100-talet ersattes vikingatidens resor, härjningar och kulturella utbyten av en verklighet där världen i allt högre grad kom till Skandinavien. Korståg, nya ekonomiska system, stadsbildningar och kyrklig expansion förändrade människors liv, samhällsorganisation och tankevärld. Forntiden undanträngdes av kristna och kontinentala influenser.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med arkeologen Anna Lihammar och Ted Hesselbom, chef vid Sigtuna museum. De är aktuella med boken Ragnarök – vikingatidens slut och det som kom efteråt.Vikingatiden hade varit en period av kraftfull expansion för de skandinaviska folken. De hade rest över haven, bedrivit handel, plundrat och etablerat sig i fjärran länder. Men under 1100-talet skedde en fundamental förändring i Skandinaviens relation till omvärlden. Nu var det inte längre bara skandinaverna som reste ut – världen kom till Skandinavien. Nya idéer, kulturella strömningar och religiösa influenser från kontinenten svepte över Norden och utmanade de traditionella samhällsstrukturerna.Kristendomens införande medförde nya maktstrukturer där kungamakten stärktes genom kyrkans stöd. Biskopar och ärkebiskopar blev inflytelserika aktörer i det nya samhällsbygget, och katedralbyggen som det i Lund blev både religiösa och politiska markörer.1100-talet var en tid av stora motsättningar och omvälvningar. Gamla traditioner och invanda mönster utmanades, och nya sociala, ekonomiska och kulturella former växte fram. Politiska intriger, religiös fanatism och ekonomiska intressen skapade våldsamma konflikter – men öppnade också upp för nya möjligheter och framsteg.Bild: Lunds domkyrka började byggas efter att staden år 1103 blivit ärkebiskopssäte för hela Norden. Som religiöst centrum behövde Lund en storslagen katedral som motsvarade dess nya roll. Kryptan i Lunds domkyrka, invigd 1123, är en av Sveriges äldsta bevarade kyrkointeriörer. Den romanska stilen präglar rummet med pelare, där en bär den legendariska Jätten Finn som enligt sägnen förvandlades till sten. Kryptan har behållit sin medeltida karaktär sedan 1100-talet.Bildkälla: Wikipedia – Lunds domkyrka, kryptan, fotograf: Marianne58 – Eget arbete, licens: CC BY-SA 3.0Musik: Breves dies hominis av antingen Léonin eller Pérotin.

Description Student Doctor Oyinemi “Yemi” Iyebote joins Stranger Fruit Vol VI, Episode 3 to explore the layered meaning of Determination—not just as persistence, but as a steady pursuit of purpose even when the destination changes. Together, we discuss how other cultures define determination, how it's reflected in the decisions we make, and what it takes to stay driven when the road gets rocky. What does it mean to find contentment—even when the final destination is different than what we imagined?

The Trinity is one of the most important doctrines in our understanding of God. The purpose of the doctrine is to enable us to better understand the relation between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The nature of God revealed to us reminds us that salvation is dependent upon all three persons being truly God, but being only one God. If God is only a singular person, salvation falls apart biblically. Salvation in Jesus Christ reveals to us that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three persons, but one being.Image: Eugenio Hansen, OFS, CC BY-SA 3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons.

This week on Queernundrum, we're sharpening our swords and polishing our boots—or heels—for a deep dive into one of the campiest cult classics of the early '80s. We won't spoil the title (yet), but here's a hint: it involves twin brothers, capes, color-coordinated costumes, and a whole lot of sass. We explore how this outrageous comedy flipped the script on traditional heroism, bringing camp, queerness, and coded resistance to the silver screen—whether Hollywood was ready or not. We dig into the layered performance of George Hamilton, the brilliance of Brenda Vaccaro, the menace of Ron Leibman, and the cool glam of Lauren Hutton, tying it all to a time when queer representation had to sneak in through the back door of comedy.And speaking of injustice—Gary doesn't hold back when we talk about the recent and infuriating decision to rename the U.S. Navy ship originally dedicated to Harvey Milk. During Pride Month, no less. We reflect on what Milk's legacy means today, how erasure still shows up in military and political spaces, and why visibility still matters—campy movies included.Topics Covered:• Queer-coded characters in 1980s films• LGBTQ+ cinema history• George Hamilton and dual roles in comedy• The cultural impact of Zorro, The Gay Blade• Camp as resistance• Pride Month controversies• Harvey Milk and LGBTQ+Intro music by Jahzzar “Please Listen Carefully” “Jahzzar (betterwithmusic.com) CC BY-SA” and Outro music by Scott Holmes “Acoustic Indie Folk” @ scottianholmes@live.com.Editor: H.

Read OnlineIt is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written. John 21:24–25As we conclude our Easter season, we are given the conclusion of the Gospel of Saint John to ponder. Recall that John's Gospel has been a central focus throughout the Easter Season. Therefore, if you have been prayerfully reading the Gospel for Mass each day for the past several weeks, then you have truly immersed yourself in this holy Gospel.The Gospel of Saint John is much different from the other three Synoptic Gospels. John's language is mystical and symbolic. John presents the seven miracles as the seven “signs” that reveal Jesus' divinity. Jesus is identified as I AM, the Son of the Father, the Vine, the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Eternal Word, and more. John points to the Crucifixion as Jesus' hour of glory in which He takes up His throne of the Cross for the salvation of the world. And John's teaching on the Eucharist is truly profound.John states that the reason he wrote his Gospel was so “that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). John clearly loved our Lord and understood Him, not only by personal experiences while Jesus was alive on earth but also through a profound level of prayer in his later years. And this depth of understanding and mystical knowledge is communicated in such a way that the reader is easily drawn into John's prayerful understanding.As John concludes His testimony about Jesus, he states something worth pondering. He states that Jesus did so many things that were not recorded by him or others, that if they were all written down, the whole world would not contain the books that would be written. First of all, everything that was written down could be the source of prayerful study for a lifetime. John's Gospel alone could never be exhausted of its meaning. But then consider this final line of John's Gospel and try to take it as a literal statement for a moment. If that statement were literally true, that the whole world could not contain the books that would record all that Jesus did, then this fact should leave us with a holy awe. In fact, the reason this must be true is because what Jesus did within each and every mind and heart He touched is truly indescribable. Volumes upon volumes could not thoroughly describe it. His divine action of saving souls, rescuing people from sin and death, and pointing them to eternal life is more than our feeble minds can fully comprehend. Reflect, today, upon the holy Gospel of Saint John. As we do conclude this Easter Season and our reading of John's Gospel, allow yourself to sit in awe of the infinite activity of our divine Lord in the lives of those who have turned to Him. Consider every movement of grace in their lives that has been accomplished with such care and love by our Lord. Reflect upon the fact that for eternity you will be contemplating the Eternal Word made Flesh, the Messiah, the Great I AM, the Son of the Father and every other name given to Him Who is our God and King. Saint John loved our Lord and understood Him deeply because he spent his life prayerfully pondering all that Jesus did. Continue to commit yourself to this holy pondering so that you will be drawn more deeply into this contemplation with holy awe.Jesus, Messiah, You are truly beyond comprehension in Your beauty, glory and holiness. You are God from God and Light from Light. You are the Great I AM, and all the books in the world could not properly describe the depth of Your greatness. Fill my mind and heart with the gift of deep spiritual insight so that I, like Saint John the Evangelist, will be continually drawn into a holy awe of You.

Read Online“I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do. Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began.” John 17:4–5Saint Ignatius of Loyola bases his spiritual masterpiece, The Spiritual Exercises, on one basic premise: Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul. This is the essence of what Ignatius calls the “Principle and Foundation” of our lives. In other words, our goal in life is twofold: First, we must seek to give God the greatest glory possible by our lives. And second, the effect of this singular focus is the salvation of our souls.In the Gospel passage quoted above, Jesus speaks of the fact that He perfectly fulfilled His human life on earth by glorifying the Father in Heaven. He did this by accomplishing the work that the Father gave Him to fulfill.If you are looking for purpose in your life or if you are trying to discover the meaning of your life, then look no further. Jesus' words above offer the ideal “principle and foundation” for your life. This message of our Lord could be broken down into three lessons.First, the Father truly does have a plan for your life. Are you seeking to discover that plan? Knowing that there is a divine plan for your life is the first step in fulfilling it. If you do not know God's plan, it will be difficult to fulfill it. So do you seek to discern this plan each and every day? Secondly, when you do discern what God wants of you in your daily life, you must accomplish His will. Sometimes we fall into the trap of trying to fulfill only a portion of what God wants of us. The problem with that approach is that we may actually accomplish “a portion” of God's will. But that's not enough. We must aim for perfection. We must strive for the complete fulfillment of the will of God in our lives.Thirdly, if we can truly accomplish the daily will of God for our lives, then our lives will not only glorify God in every way possible, but we will also be blessed to share in God's glory. To share in God's glory is to share in God's very life. It means that God will be alive in us and we will become partakers of the joys of Heaven. And it will begin here on earth. Why would we settle for earthly “joys” and earthly pleasures when we are called to share in delights that are beyond what we could ever imagine in this world? Reflect, today, upon Jesus' act of perfectly fulfilling the will of the Father in His human nature. Even though our Lord was divine, He was also fully human. He, therefore, perfectly understands your human struggles and weaknesses. He knows what you go through, and His humanity is the model for you to follow in life.Reflect upon His human life and the way in which He lived in union with the will of His Father day in and day out. Commit yourself to this unwavering mission of fully accomplishing the will of the Father in your life and you, too, will share in the glory of our Lord.My glorified Lord, You now share in the full joy and glory of Your Father in Heaven with Your human nature. By doing so, You invite me to not only imitate Your life on earth but to also share in that same glory in Heaven. Give me the grace I need, dear Lord, to accomplish all that the Father calls me to do. May my life fully imitate You in every way so that I may also share, one day, in Your glory. Jesus, I trust in You.Conniemod, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Read OnlineMary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Luke 1:39–42The beautiful feast we celebrate today depicts two miraculous pregnancies. One came about by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. The other was the miraculous conception in the womb of a woman who was advanced in years. The Scripture passage quoted above presents us with the initial encounter of Mary and Elizabeth as they greeted each other upon Mary's arrival. Mary had traveled a long distance to be with her cousin for the last few months of Elizabeth's pregnancy. And upon greeting Elizabeth, another miraculous event occurred. The baby in the womb of Elizabeth, Saint John the Baptist, “leaped for joy.” Thus, even prior to his birth, John began to fulfill his unique mission of preparing the way for the Lord. He did so at that moment by inspiring his own mother, Elizabeth, with a knowledge of the divine presence of the Savior within the womb of Mary.Consider, especially, the conversations that these two holy women would have shared during their months together. Though we are given only a small insight into their initial conversation from the Scriptures, we can be certain that this was but a small sampling of what they would have discussed in much prayerful detail. In particular, their conversations would have contained a mutual sharing of the spiritual gift of joy.Joy is much more than an emotion. It is spiritual in nature. It is not only an experience of something fun, it's the experience of realizing the action of God in your life. Seeing God at work in wonderful ways leads to gratitude and rejoicing. This joy produces a strength and energy that is contagious and uplifting.We must all strive to see the hand of God at work in our own lives so that our focus upon His divine actions will produce joy also. We need joy. We need to be strengthened by this gift so that we will be encouraged and strengthened as we daily strive to fulfill His will.Reflect, today, upon the witness of joy that these two holy women give us. Know that you are called to share in the same joy as you humbly turn your attention to the ways in which God has blessed you. If you find that you lack joy in life, then consider where you allow your mind to wander throughout the day. Do you dwell on the past, on hurts, on problems and the like? If so, these thoughts will undoubtedly lead to depression and possibly even despair. Try to turn your mind to the action of God in your life. See the many blessings you have been given and savor those divine actions. Doing so will lead you to rejoice with Saint Elizabeth and our Blessed Mother.My holy infant Jesus, as You dwelt in the sacred womb of Your own dear mother, Your presence caused much rejoicing in her heart and in the hearts of Elizabeth and John. Help me to see Your presence in our world and in my life, so that I, too, will be filled with the joy of You constantly coming to me. Jesus, I trust in You.

Read Online“You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.” John 15:14–15To some, Jesus' definition of friendship may, at first glance, seem odd. He says that we are His friends only when we do what He commands us to do. Imagine saying that to one of your best friends. Such a statement would most likely be met with a laugh and dismissal as foolishness. So is true friendship always based on obedience?Obviously, the expectation that your friends obey you so as to win your friendship is not the basis of any authentic friendship. Jesus is the only one Who can base your friendship upon obedience to His holy will. Why? Because of the nature of what He commands you to do.Jesus is pure Truth. What He wills is the perfection of love. Therefore, His statement that you are only His friend if you do what He commands you to do teaches that friendship is based on the truth. It's based on love, goodness, kindness, selfless sacrifice and self-giving. And it is all of these truths that Jesus commands us to do. Therefore, Jesus is essentially telling us that His will alone provides the pathway to the friendship we desire to have with Him.In regard to your friendship with others, each true friendship can only be based on that which God wills for friends. And, in that sense, you can “command” the will of God for your friendships. This means you are only willing to establish a friendship upon the truth. It means you are only willing to share a relationship based upon selfless, sacrificial, self-giving mercy, compassion, honesty and love.Reflect, today, upon your understanding of friendship. Begin with your friendship with God, but then also ponder your friendship with others. Do you love our Lord in the way that He commands? And as you ponder your friendship with others, examine whether or not each friendship also conforms to obedience to the will of God. If you can love God and others in conformity with the dictates of true love, then your friendships will produce an eternity of deep fulfillment.My divine Lord, You call me to a friendship with You based only on the dictates of pure and holy love. I thank You for this command of love and accept this invitation. Help me, Lord, to continually deepen my friendship with You in accord with the truths of love and help me to base all my friendships only on the commands of this holy love. Jesus, I trust in You.
