The town of České Budějovice in South Bohemia may be better known to North Americans as Budweis, the German name that's been appropriated by a couple of famous beers. The real Czech pale lager from here is known as Budvar—sold as Czechvar (https://czechvar.com/) in the United States, for legal reasons. It's an easygoing showcase of light, pure malt flavors and soft, balancing bitterness, nearer in profile to a Bavarian helles than a typical Czech světlý ležák. Joining us to tell this iconic beer's story and talk about how it's made is brewmaster Adam Brož, who is contagiously passionate about all the little details that make a pale lager into something that both tastes great and is addictively drinkable. Along the way, he discusses: Budvar Original's unique place in the pale lager spectrum the importance of soft water to the beer's profile why he insists on sticking with whole-cone Saaz hops how the barley variety and crop matter to the brewing process why decoction matters, from deeper color and flavor to greater consistency the benefits of long maturation of at least 90 days in horizontal tanks a new variety of Budvar with higher bitterness how the dark lager came to be and what sets it apart And more. "Our product is not the beer, but the joy from the beer," says Broz. "And without drinkability, it's half of the joy."

The novel follows Gregor as he navigates his new life and the challenges it presents while also exploring themes of isolation and alienation. Author : Franz KafkaFranz Kafka was a German-speaking Jewish novelist and short story writer. Born in Prague in 1883, Kafka is widely considered one of the major figures of 20th century literature. His works, grappling with feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and alienation, have been interpreted as representation of the anxieties and struggles in modern life. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book The Metamorphosis. Are you looking for a unique and thought provoking read? Look no further than The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. This classic novel tells the story of Gregor Samsa, a man who wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed into a giant insect. Doesn't that sound ridiculous？ So why wait? Get your hands on a bookey of The Metamorphosis today and embark on a journey of self discovery and contemplation. Trust us, and you won't be disappointed. The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka written in 1915. As one of the major figures of 20th century literature, Kafka was born in Prague in 1883 and wrote primarily in German, although his work has been translated into many languages. He is known for his distinctive style, which combines elements of realism, absurdity, and surrealism to explore themes of isolation, powerlessness, and the search for meaning in modern, industrialized society. The Metamorphosis, the book we are going to learn today, is one of his most typical works and has a profound influence on the development of modern fiction. Now, let's together explore its charm. It follows the story of Gregor Samsa, a poor travelling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into an insect. As a beetle, he cannot take care of his whole families as before. In other words, he has become a burden for the Gregor's family. Latter, his families decide to isolate and neglect him, which lead to his death. The Metamorphosis is a powerful exploration into themes of alienation and acceptance, with implications for readers still relevant today and has inspired many to think more deeply about our place in the world. The author of The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka, was a Czech born writer who is widely considered one of the major figures of 20th century literature. Kafka was born in Prague in 1883 and wrote primarily in German, although his work has been translated into many languages. He is known for his distinctive style, which combines elements of realism, absurdity, and surrealism to explore themes of isolation, powerlessness, and the search for meaning in modern, industrialized society.

Madame BovaryMadame Bovary Full Book Introduction Emma, the protagonist of the novel, was a farmer's daughter. The education she received in the monastery and the influence of the Romantic movement had given her many fantasies about the wealthy aristocratic life. As a result, she was deeply disappointed with her mediocre husband and ordinary marriage, and lived through a gradual moral and financial degeneration. Through the course of what she considers an unworthy life, Emma becomes deeply indebted and her overall dissatisfaction with her own reality leads her to take her own life. This novel portrays one of the most classic female images in the history of literature and reveals the reality behind the French society during the mid-19th century. Author : Gustave FlaubertGustave Flaubert was a French novelist and leading exponent of literary realism in the 19th century. He was very rigid with his works, often repeatedly revising every word and sentence until they looked perfect. Madame Bovary is his most famous work and is considered a literary masterpiece. Since its publication, the novel has been highly praised in the literary world. Czech writer Milan Kundera claims that “ever since Madame Bovary, the art of the novel has been considered equal to the art of poetry.” Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we'll unlock the book Madame Bovary, written by the famous 19th-century French author Gustave Flaubert. One of the most influential works in the history of French literature, the novel is considered to have established a new paradigm of literary realism. However, Madame Bovary was very controversial when it was first published. From 1856 to 1857, the novel was published as a series in the French magazine Revue de Paris. Shortly afterwards, it was under prosecution by the authorities of that time, accused for being an “outrage to public morality and religion”. Gustave Flaubert, an unknown novelist living in seclusion in the countryside at that time, was summoned to the court for trial. In the end, Flaubert was found not guilt, and because of this novel he gained a notable reputation and status in the history of literature. You might be curious now; what's this novel about and why did it cause such a wrath? The book was badly received by the public because it portrayed Emma Bovary, a depraved woman, as the main character. Flaubert did a good job portraying Madame Bovary's path toward depravity and her affairs with multiple lovers. What's more, Flaubert wrote the whole story with a soothing and objective tone, without any sense of judgement or criticism on Madame Bovary's life. That's why the public prosecutors at the time believed that this novel was "the poetics of adultery". The novel has been criticized for promoting the liberation of sexual desire, which would have a bad influence on young female readers. Many readers also thought this novel was shocking and that it went against their moral standards. Hearing this, you might be even more curious: What is this story about? How should we understand the literary image of a woman who's considered immoral by traditional standards? What did Flaubert want to express when portraying Madame Bovary? Why is this novel considered a milestone in the history of world literature? In this bookey, we will answer these questions one by one and interpret the book from the following three aspects: Part One: The main plot of the novel; Part Two: Understand Madame Bovary Part Three: Gustave Flaubert's literary achievements

The story of lost gold and a ghost town kept alive by one man's photography is told in a new doco Jos - The Forgotten Photographer Who Saved A Town. Waiutua is a dot of a place on the West Coast south of Reefton. Bringing it back to life on film started three years ago, when Dave Kwant and co-producer Robyn Janes started work on a documentary about Waiuta Whispers of Gold. But it soon became apparent who the star of the show really was. Photographs taken in the early 1900s by Czech emigre Jos Divis had kept the town alive, despite it being abandoned in the 1950s, with billions of dollars worth of gold still left underground.The filmmakers were amazed to find Jos Divis had been overlooked - even though he is credited as being the "inventor of the selfie". Kathryn speaks with Dave Kwant, geologist and biographer Simon Nathan and photographer Brian Scadden who has recreated some of Divis' photographs using early 20th C equipment.

In this episode Bob and I stick with lagers, but instead of Germany or the U.S. this time we head to the Czech Republic, and tackle the Czech Pale Lager.  The Czech Pale Lager is a hoppy, session-strength pale lager that is among the most popular styles of beer among drinkers in the Czech Republic. The guidelines give us something of a mish-mash of guidance, though. The beer should be "rich" and "refreshing," which can be a tough needle to thread, though not impossible.   Style examples: 1.     Bernard světlé pivo 10 2.     Notch Session Pils 3.     Radegast Rázna 10   ABV: 3-4.1% IBUs: 20-35 Color: 3-6 Serving Temp: 40-45F Serving Pressure: 10-14 PSI   Our sample beer for the week:   Beer representation for the week: Žatecký Světlý Ležák which translated to Zatecky Light Lager 5.0% ABV and 19 IBUs   Beer Description: Over 650 years of cultivation tradition, the experience of local hop growers and a unique microclimate give Žatec aromatic hops an unusual character. Experience its full aroma in Žatec Světlý Ležák brewed under the supervision of Tomas Lejsek from the Žatec Brewery.     Support the show by doing your Amazon shopping through our affiliate link.

Mrs Palermo's Cottage: AR Parker's latest novel, a magic story from the Czech borderlands; interview with Marcela Sulak, translator of Karel Hynek Mácha's most famous poem “Máj” into English

In this episode, guest host Dr. Peder Horner interviews Dr. Harold Coons about the history of IR, his contributions to the field, where the field is headed, and his advice for trainees and early career IRs. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS BD Rotarex Atherectomy System https://www.bd.com/rotarex Philips SymphonySuite https://www.philips.com/symphonysuite --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Coons attended Pomona College, where he studied math. He then realized he didn't want to be a nuclear scientist in the Sputnik era, which was where most opportunities were at the time. He decided to attend medical school at UCLA instead. As a medical student, he saw how happy the radiologists were, so he decided to choose it as a specialty. He had the opportunity to do a carotid arteriogram one day when everyone else was busy. He considered himself a maverick and someone who was always ready to take on a challenge. He then experienced a moment that changed his life, when Czech radiologist Josef Rösch came to UCLA to visit from the University of Oregon where he was working with Charles Dotter. Dr. Coons saw Dr. Rösch direct puncture the spleen for a spleen portogram, and it took him only 15 seconds. This was incredible to him, and after that, Dr. Coons followed him around whenever he did procedures. They teamed up, Dr. Coons volunteering to be the nurse, because no nurses liked working with Rösch. Coons shaped catheters for him at a steam kettle, watched him do the first TIPS on a dog, and did the first arterial embolization with clotted venous blood under the direction of Dr. Rösch. After his stint in the Airforce at a hospital in San Antonio, where he honed his embolization skills, he returned to San Diego. He was then working in private practice as the only IR in San Diego. One year, he heard about a meeting at Massachusetts General, so he submitted 6 papers on things he had been doing recently. All his papers were accepted, so he went to the meeting. At his first presentation, the leader of the meeting announced to the audience that he had accepted these papers to expose Coons as a fraud, because these techniques were nothing any academic had ever heard of. He did his presentation, and everyone in the audience, including the meeting leader, believed what he was doing was indeed real. He apologized to Coons and invited him to the speakers dinner, where he sat next to Kurt Amplatz and Plinio Rossi. Rossi convinced him to start publishing his ideas to get the credit he deserved, and to have something to show his children. Dr. Coons was forced to retire early in 1996 due to radiation exposure, but has been an avid innovator, educator, and international speaker since then. His passion for IR and excitement for the future of the field is contagious to all who have the pleasure of hearing him speak.

On this very special episode Gratitude Through Hard Times, Host Chris Schembra and his guest, Drahomíra Mandikova, celebrate meaningful connection and its power to generate profitable solutions not just for shareholders but the world at large. Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Asahi Europe & International, “Drahus” (as she is known to friends) shares with us the unique North Star principles that drive one of the world's largest alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer companies, with 19 breweries exporting to 90 markets globally. You will be intrigued to learn about the meaning, power and intentionality behind Asahi's emphasis on four simple words: “Let's have a beer.” It's about bringing awareness and building community – person to person – as the foundation to individual wellness and a sustainable “human-environmental ecosystem.” For Drahus, the first step is the critical one: Pause. Reflect on the talent, passion and ultimate purpose you bring, as well as the legacy you wish to leave. Her values-driven vision has shaped Prague-based Asahi's workplace culture and brought clarity to the company's mission statement. “We have all these goals,” says Drahus, “but to really bring them to life and enjoy the good feeling, we need to be in the present, work together and create connections to step-by-step bring about those long-term dreams.” We are on the road together, folks, and it starts with gratitude!If you'd like to learn more about Chris and his 7:47 Virtual Gratitude Experience or subscribe to our newsletter, please visit this link.Click here to hear more fascinating conversations with Fortune 500 CEOs, professional athletes and entertainerswho have shared their human stories on Gratitude Through Hard Times. KEY TOPICS:If you could thank someone who helped you through some of your darkest hours, who would that be and what were you going through? A mentor with an especially keen way of helping Drahus unhitch from unnecessary catastrophizing and impatience.A Moment of Reflection: About the importance of taking a pause to come into the present, then step into the past through reflection.2030 Legacy of Good: How Drahus and Asahi's company culture have coalesced around a mission based on a multidimensional balance of past, present and future.A Mentor's Advice: About Inner Child work and how it can reintegrate intuition and help return us to the essence of who we are and wish to be.Empathy is Everything: Why Drahus believes that the companies that actually care about the human-environmental ecosystem in which they function will bring profitable solutions to very real pain points. A win-win-win!Embracing Failure: False starts and falling short are part of a holistic learning process.Brand Purpose: About the Asahi brand's commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and community for its tens of millions of consumers.Remarkable Marketing: How Asahi has mounted campaigns that bring people together, helping them feel connected and seen on a personal, human level.The Problem of Loneliness: About the creative ways Asahi's multi-national team is trying to build bridges – old to young, left to right, across lifestyles and geographies.Asahi's Legacy Mission Includes Being Bold:Speak directly and compassionately to tough issues, like mental health.Moving 20% of the corporate portfolio into nonalcoholic beverages.Beer as a vehicle for making meaningful connections.Drahus's Personal Purpose: Making business and environmental growth sustainable.What She's Up To:Coordinating breweries across Europe to build sustainability into their production.Creating a strategy to ensure Asahi becomes carbon neutral.Midwifing a new economic model driven by profitable solutions for all stakeholders – not exclusively profit for shareholders.Action Item: All purpose-filled journeys start with a pause to reflect and re-center on your personal talents, passion and the positive impact you wish to make.Remember: When we are clear about ourselves and our purpose, the work comes into focus – and it becomes easier to shed obligations and distractions that do not serve!Why Do We Do What We Do? From intentionality flows business success and ultimately a healthier, more sustainable world.Parting Thought:Focus on what you want to know say “no” to rather than what's driving you to say “yes.”Resist the shiny things that distract your ego but don't serve your greater purpose or desire to create impact.Meaningful connection is fueled by gratitude – and makes life much, much easier. QUOTABLE“We have all these goals … but to really bring them to life and enjoy the good feeling, we need to be in the present, work together and create connections to step-by-step bring about those long-term dreams.” (Drahus) “You have to have a long-term dream so that you know where you're going.” (Drahus) “Be proud of the past so you can build the confidence and learning, but what is really important is how you bring everything to the present: Your ‘self,' your actions, reflecting on the future and also on the past.” (Drahus) “One of the biggest pain points I see in our world is the loneliness epidemic, the idea that there are a lot of people on this planet who are disconnected or do not feel seen.” (Chris) “Belonging is not about blending in. It's not about meeting people that believe in the same things that you believe in. Belonging is about showing up as you authentically are and being accepted.” (Chris) “My purpose now is really to advocate for a new era for businesses to think about the new economy, where we are moving from maximizing profit for shareholders to bringing profitable solutions for all stakeholders.” (Drahus) “Whether you're an accountant, a lawyer or CEO of a software firm, you can find your purpose and it can be as simple as creating meaningful connections with others.” (Chris) “Years from now – when we've long passed on – maybe someone will look back on our life and say, ‘They made others feel safe, seen and heard.' And if that's your purpose, it's going to be a great legacy – and lead to some good profitable growth!” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:Click here to listen to episode 225, featuring Geoff McDonald's insights into Mental health and well-being.Listen to Johann Hari's Ted talk, "Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong." ABOUT OUR GUEST:Drahomíra started her career working for the banking sector in Slovakia.

When brewers think of Czech hops, they naturally think of Saaz, whose delicate and ethereal character is nearly synonmyous with lager itself. Yet while craft brewers around the world have developed an obsession with punchy New World hops and the character of specific varieties, they often know relatively litle about the hops from this region that's been growing them for more than a millennium. In this episode, we sit down in Žatec—the home of Saaz—with Zdeněk Rosa, chairman of Bohemia Hop, the collective of all Bohemian hop growers. Here, Rosa digs into: the promising overall trajectory of Saaz growth in recent years, despite the disastrous harvest of 2022 how agronomy and growing operations differ in Bohemia compared to the Pacific Northwest the unlikely specifics of how weather impacted the 2022 harvest the development of other varieties that offer similar character to Saaz but with better yield and sustainability newer, more expressive Czech aroma varieties such as Saaz Shine and Saaz Comfort, which offer enticing possibilities for lager and other kinds of beer leaning into a Czech take on cold IPA using more characterful Czech aroma hops And more.

Rain Delay ep.619 Two tennis players' lives are turned upside down when they realize it never rains when they play. Daniel M. Cojocaru (he, him) was born and grew up in Switzerland (of Romanian and Czech background). He studied English Lit in Zurich and later completed his PhD at Oxford University (St. Peter's College). But, since everybody's a critic, he decided to start writing fiction himself, whenever his kids let him. He teaches English in Switzerland. Recently he took a small step for mankind but a big one for himself and created his own website: www.danielmcojocaru.com .   Listen to more by Daniel M.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Synopsis During his stay in America, the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak became convinced that distinctive American music could be based on two sources: the work songs and spirituals of African-Americans and the chants and dances of indigenous Native American tribes. By the early 20th century, a number of American composers had taken his suggestions to heart. One of them, Arthur Farwell, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on today's date in 1872. Farwell went to MIT intending to become an electrical engineer, and did, in fact, get his engineering degree in 1893, the same year Dvorak's views began appearing in the press. Farwell decided that a musical career might be more interesting than engineering. Frustrated at his inability to find a publisher for his set of solo piano transcriptions entitled American Indian Melodies, he formed his own publishing house. Farwell also set Emily Dickinson poems to music, experimented with polytonality, and, in 1916, arranged for the first “light show” in New York's Central Park, decades before the psychedelic 1960s. Farwell taught at Cornell, UC Berkley and Michigan State, but never felt at home in academia, preferring to organize community-based musical pageants with audience participation. He died at the age of 79 in New York in 1953. Music Played in Today's Program Arthur Farwell (1872 – 1952) Navajo War Dance and Song of Peace Dario Muller, piano Marco Polo 223715

Synopsis At London's St. James's Hall on today's date in 1885, the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak conducted the London Philharmonic Society's orchestra in the premiere of his Seventh Symphony, a work they had commissioned. The Society had also commissioned Beethoven's Ninth Symphony decades earlier, a fact of which Dvorak was quite aware, and just before starting work Dvorak heard and was bowled over by the brand-new Third Symphony by his friend and mentor Johannes Brahms.  In other words… “No pressure!”Dvorak felt he must do his very best, and, judging by the warm reception at its London premiere, the new work was a success, with one reviewer calling it “one of the greatest works of its class produced in the present generation.”But not all reviews were glowing. Another wrote, “the entire work is painted grey on grey: it lacks sweetness of melody and lightness of style.” And Dvorak's German publisher complained that big symphonies were not profitable and advised Dvorak write only shorter piano pieces that had a ready market.But subsequent performances helped establish the new symphony as the masterwork it is, and although not as often-played as his “New World” Symphony, today Dvorak's Seventh ranks among his finest creations. Music Played in Today's Program Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) Scherzo (3rd mvt), from Symphony No. 7 in d, Op. 70 Berlin Philharmonic; Rafael Kubelik, conductor. DG 463158-2

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Talking publicly about AI risk, published by Jan Kulveit on April 21, 2023 on LessWrong. In the past year, I have started talking about AI risk publicly - in mainstream newspapers, public radio, national TV, some of the most popular podcasts. The twist, and reason why you probably haven't noticed is I'm doing this in Czech. This has a large disadvantage - the positive impact is quite limited, compared to English. On the other hand, it also had a big advantage - the risk is very low, because it is very hard for memes and misunderstandings to escape the language bubble. Overall I think this is great for experiments with open public communication . Following is an off-the-cuff list of notes and suggestions. In my view the debate in Czech media and Czech social networks is on average marginally more sensible and more informed than in English so far, so perhaps part of this was successful and could be useful for others. Context: my views For context, it's probably good to briefly mention some of my overall views on AI risk, because they are notably different from some other views. I do expect 1. Continuous takeoff, and overall a large amount of continuity of agency (note that continuous does not imply things move slowly) 2. Optimization and cognition distributed across many systems to be more powerful than any single system, making a takeover by a single system possible but unlikely 3. Multiagent interactions to matter 4. I also do expect the interactions between the memetics and governance and the so-called "technical problem" to be strong and important As a result I also expect 5. There will be warning shots 6. There will be cyborg periods 7. World will get weird 8. Coordination mechanisms do matter This perspective may be easier to communicate than e.g. sudden foom - although I don't know. In the following I'll usually describe my approach, and illustrate it by actual quotes from published media interviews I'm sort of happy about (translated, unedited). Note that the specific ways how to say something or metaphors are rarely original. Aim to explain, not to persuade Overall I usually try to explain stuff and answer questions, rather than advocate for something. I'm optimistic about the ability of the relevant part of the public to actually understand a large part of the risk at a coarse-grained level, given enough attention. So even though we invented these machines ourselves, we don't understand them well enough? We know what's going on there at the micro level. We know how the systems learn. If one number in a series changes, we know how the next one changes. But there are tens of billions of such numbers. In the same way, we have some idea of how a neuron works, and we have maps of a network of thousands of neurons. But that doesn't tell us that much about how human thinking works at the level of ideas. Small versions of scaled problems Often, I think the most useful thing to convey is a scaled-down, easier version of the scaled problem, such that thinking about the smaller version leads to correct intuitions about the scaled problem, or solutions to the scaled-down problem may generalise to the later, scaled problem. This often requires some thought or finding a good metaphor. Couldn't we just shut down such a system? We already have a lot of systems that we could hypothetically shut down, but if you actually tried to do so, it would be very difficult. For example, it is practically impossible to shut down the New York Stock Exchange, because there will always be enough people defending it. If the model manages to penetrate deeply enough into humanity's activities, it is imaginable that humanity will actually lose control of it at some point. Don't focus on one scenario Overall, I think it's possible to explain the fact that in face of AI risk there isn't one parti...

April 23: Saint Adalbert, Bishop and Martyr 956–997 Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: Red Patron Saint of the Czech Republic and Poland Pagans cut down a courageous bishop in the frozen North Old, stodgy, traditional Catholic Europe in tension with new, liberal, flexible Europe is not a new dichotomy. A millennium ago the roles were reversed. It was old, stodgy, traditional pagan Europe in tension with new, groundbreaking, and progressive Catholic Europe. As the missionary monks, abbots, and bishops of Europe fanned out, ever northward and ever eastward, into upper Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, and the Baltics, they met the warrior tribes and painted chieftains of old Europe, men with skin like bark. These forest clans gathered in sacred groves to offer sacrifice to their pagan idols under the broad canopies of large oaks. In these open- air temples, they butchered prisoners of war and cattle in offerings to their dark powers, sprinkling the blood of the slain on their bodies. Yet from the eighth through the eleventh centuries, missionaries poured into these remote lands, shining the light of the Gospel into its darkest corners. Teutonic and Norse paganism, for all of its unwritten creeds of courage and manliness, was doomed. It was strong, but the Church was stronger. Paganism could not stop vital, solid, well-organized Catholicism with its coherent monotheism, sacred worship, Ten Commandments, self-sacrificing missionaries, and its Gospel of love and respect for all. The Catholic Church does not arrive to a mission territory, however, as a full-fledged institution. The Church arrives in a person who embodies all that the Church teaches and symbolizes. This person is the Church to those he encounters. Today's saint was one of the first missionary bishops to penetrate into the lands of Prussia, in Northeastern Germany. And for daring to preach the Gospel to coarse men, he was murdered on the frigid coast of the Baltic Sea. The Prussians thought he was a Polish spy, and a pagan priest upset at the disruptions Adalbert was causing in Prussian society commanded his death. Saint Adalbert's lifeless body was ransomed for its weight in gold by a Polish king and returned to Poland. He was eventually canonized as Saint Adalbert of Prague, since he was born and raised in Bohemia. He remains a saint equally claimed by both the Polish and Czech people and a seminal figure in early medieval Europe. Courageous men like Saint Adalbert don't just happen. They are forged over time in red hot fires. Adalbert had a long, difficult, and interesting ecclesiastical career before giving his life for the faith. He was baptized as Vojtěch. But he was so impressed with the saintly German Bishop named Adalbert who taught him, that he took his tutor's name at Confirmation. Adalbert was then named Bishop of Prague at a young age, a consecration whose responsibilities turned him into a far more serious Christian. He quickly matured into his exalted vocation. Bishop Adalbert started aggressively challenging the people of his diocese to shed their pre-Christian customs and to learn what it meant to be true children of God. But Adalbert had a strong temperament and came from a noble family with serious enemies, all of which led him to abandon his diocese twice and flee to Rome. In the Eternal City, he came to know the Benedictines and lived as a monk for several months. Later he would establish Benedictine monasteries in the North in the hope of holding the Christian ground he gained. And to the North he always returned: to Bohemia, to Germany, to Hungary, and to Poland. He was a multilingual and multicultural Pan Slavic Bishop fully equipped to evangelize throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The rough Prussian people who murdered Adalbert were not fully conquered and converted until 1239, when the Teutonic Knights planted themselves in that land more than two hundred years after Saint Adalbert's death. Yet somebody had to take the first step on the long journey of converting the Prussians. Someone first had to hear “No” a thousand times before someone unknown, much later, ever heard “Yes.” Adalbert heard “No” first and died for it. His body absorbed the blows so that other bodies could walk safely. His suffering and death proved that he, an educated man, was just as sturdy as the rugged men he sought to convert, and so was worthy of adding the title of martyr to that of bishop and monk. Saint Adalbert, we ask that you intercede before God to make all missionaries as courageous as you were, willing to place themselves in difficult situations for the good of the Church. By your example, may we be brave witnesses to the fact that death is sometimes preferable to life.

In the trendy Karlín neighborhood of central Prague, the brewpub called Dva Kohouti (https://www.dvakohouti.cz/en/) embodies the merger of the two key elements of Czech beer culture: the brewing and—no less important—the pouring and service. The side-pull taps attached directly to the serving tanks behind the bar are only part of the story. In this episode recorded at the brewery, head brewer Lukaš Tomsa explains the ideas behind Dva Kohouti, how they brew their traditional lagers and more internationally inspired ales, and how they ensure that the service end completes the job of creating a great beer. Among other topics, he discusses: the importance of pouring and service that respects the product a brewery-taproom concept that gives production and service equal emphasis comparing single- and double-decocted pale lagers fermenting a bit warmer than traditional Czech brewers, to keep diacetyl in check getting natural carbonation by capping the tank during fermentation using decoctions for tart fruit beers and American-style pale ales and IPAs using decoction and raw barley to promote foam in a quick-soured fruit beer paying attention to glassware and draft lines to ensure perfect pours And more.
