The second Trump administration has spurred a wave of domestic industrial investment and a recognition that making things in America matters. But what does that look like from the factory floor?Chris Power, founder and CEO of Hadrian, joins Oren to discuss how his company is helping lead reindustrialization efforts here in the United States. He explains the revolutionary technologies Hadrian uses to compete at scale with foreign firms and highlights just how different the manufacturing jobs of today are compared to what many think of as “factory work.” Finally, he and Oren talk through ways policymakers can support the domestic industrial startups we need to return America to its place as the world's leading technological and industrial power.Further reading:The Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook, published this week by American Compass, FAI, IFP, and NAIANot By Tariff Alone by Chris Griswold What An Enduring Industrial Policy Requires by Charles Yang Tear Down this Paper Wall by Christopher Koopman and Josh T.

Scientists from around the world gathered in Rome on 2nd May 1922 to agree on a definitive list of 88 constellations, which up until then had been an astronomical free-for-all. The collection of eminent astronomers eventually settled on 42 animals, 29 inanimate objects and 17 humans or mythological characters, which, taken together, offered a complete map of the skies for the very first time. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how different ancient civilisations around the world understood the heavens differently; marvel at the immense contribution of Ancient Greeks to contemporary astronomy; and discuss why Antinous, the boy lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian, is the greatest constellation no longer in use…  Further Reading: • ‘10 Constellations that Never Caught On' (Mental Floss, 2010): https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/49454/10-constellations-never-caught  • ‘The Constellations' (IAU, 2001): https://www.iau.org/public/themes/constellations/  • ‘Pictures in the sky: the origin and history of the constellations' (The Royal Society, 2014): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZm-QaKqS-Y&t=271s  #1920s #Space #Europe #Science This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

The transition off of fossil fuels is important and needs to happen, but it will affect the livelihoods of oil and gas workers and those in fossil fuel dependent communities. How can we make sure the transition is just and people-centred? We spoke with Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood, a senior researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Hadrian's work focuses on the social and economic dimensions of Canada's shift toward a zero-carbon economy, including the necessity of a just transition for vulnerable workers and communities across the country. He is a contributor to the CCPA's Trade and Investment Research Project and Alternative Federal Budget. Hadrian holds a MA in Political Economy from Carleton University. Hadrian explains the concept of a people-centred just transition and the challenges Canada will have to overcome to move away from fossil fuels. We also discussed the policies that are needed to help workers transition into new industries, including the need for green industrial policy.   Pullback is a proud member of the Harbinger Media Network Enjoy our work?

China beschuldigt de Verenigde Staten van het uitvoeren van geavanceerde cyberaanvallen op kritieke infrastructuur en Huawei, onder meer. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. China zegt dat namens de Verenigde Staten geval hacks uitgevoerd zijn via de Amerikaanse nationale veiligheidsdienst NSA, zo meldt het Chinese staatspersbureau Xinhua. Dat zou gebeurd zijn tijdens de Aziatische Winterspelen, die afgelopen februari werden gehouden in het noordelijker gelegen Harbin. Volgens de lokale politie daar zijn er drie specifieke agenten van de NSA die hiervoor verantwoordelijk zijn. Dat drietal zou ook 'vaker cyberaanvallen hebben uitgevoerd op Chinese kritieke infrastructuur, onder meer gericht op Huawei, maar ook de energievoorziening, vervoer, waterbeheer, communicatie en onderzoek voor defensie.

A Sermon for Palm Sunday Philippians 2:1-11, St. Matthew 21:1-17, and St. Matthew 27:1-54 by William Klock The Pantheon in Rome is famous for being one of the architectural and engineering wonders of the ancient world.  It was one of the buildings we studied when I took Architectural History and I remember our professor stressing that the photos in our book could never do it justice.  It's a great round building covered by the largest vaulted concrete dome in the world.  It looks big.  It is big.  The dome is 43 metres high.  But you don't realise just how big that is until you add people into the photos.  It's about twenty-five times higher than the average person is tall.  And it was built by the Romans two millennia ago.  It's survived all these years, even after builders scavenged the bronze off its roof and left the concrete exposed.  It is, again, known for being an architectural and engineering marvel. But Brothers and Sisters, the Pantheon is important for another reason that's hardly ever discussed.  It was, again, built almost two thousand years ago—in the early second century.  Begun under the Emperor Trajan and finished during the reign of Hadrian.  It stood on the Field of Mars and replaced an earlier temple dedicated to Mars, the god of war, and built by Agrippa during the reign of Augustus.  But the Pantheon, fairly quickly it seems, became an unusual temple.  The Romans usually dedicated a temple to a single god.  The gods were jealous.  They didn't like sharing.  And if a temple were, say, struck by lightning, you'd know that it was the god of that temple who was angry.  But the Pantheon became a temple for all the gods—or, at least, many of them.  That's what the name means: pan…theon.  It was one of the greatest temples of pagan Rome.  But in the Year of Our Lord Six-hundred-and-nine, at the instruction of the Christian Emperor Phocas and the Bishop of Rome, Boniface IV, the Pantheon was stripped of its pagan idols and its pagan altars.  Twenty-eight cartloads containing the bones of Christian martyrs were exhumed from the catacombs and reburied there, a Christian altar was placed in the building, and it was established as a church in honour of the memory of those martyrs whom the pagan Romans had killed in the name of their gods.  To this day, over fourteen-hundred years later, the Church of St. Mary and the Martyrs remains there, a faithful witness to conquest of Rome by the gospel and of the Lordship of Jesus.  A testimony to the power of the cross and the blood of Jesus not only to purify us from our sins and to make us a dwelling fit for God's Spirit, but to wash creation clean from our sins as well. We began Lent, listening as St. Matthew told us the story of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness.  The devil took him off to a very high mountain and showed him all the magnificent kingdoms of the world.  Off on the horizon was Rome.  “I'll give the whole lot to you,” the devil said, “if you will fall down and worship me.” It was, after all what Jesus had come for.  He was creation's true Lord.  Caesar and all the other kings were pretenders, shams, parodies of who and what Jesus really is.  All of it, from Jerusalem to Rome and beyond belongs to him.  “There is not one square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!” to quote Abraham Kuyper.  But this was not the way.  Jesus will not reclaim his creation without also setting it to rights, without dealing with the problems of sin and death.  Without purifying it from our idolatry.  To do that requires more. And so today we hear Matthew again as he tells us of Jesus' triumphal procession into Jerusalem.  When they came near to Jerusalem, and arrived at Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples on ahead.  Go into the village over there and at once you'll find a donkey tied and a foal beside it.  Untie them and bring them to me and if anyone says anything to you, say, “The Lord needs them and he'll send them back right away.”  He sent them off at once.   Jesus was about to act out another one of his prophecies.  This time it was to show and to remind the people what sort of king the Messiah was to be.  They did want a king who would set all to rights, but in their heads, to their way of thinking, that meant leading a revolt against the Romans.  He would be like David, who defeated the Jebusites to take their city Jerusalem as his capital.  He would be like Judas Maccabeus, who defeated the Greeks and established an independent Jewish kingdom under the high priest.  The Messiah would be like that, only better, greater, more powerful, and his kingdom would be forever.  He would raise up Israel and put the gentile kings in their place.  The day before or maybe even that same day, as Jesus came to Jerusalem from Bethphage, Caesar's governor, Pontius Pilate, was marching into the city from the opposite direction, from his base in Caesarea, at the front of a column of Roman soldiers.  They were there to represent Caesar's might and to keep the peace during Passover.  If Jesus was the Messiah, now was his time—or so a lot of people thought—now was Jesus' time to finally and really be the Messiah, raise up his army, and cast down Pilate and the Romans and take his throne. But that wasn't the way to the throne any more than bowing down to the devil was.  Matthew says that Jesus did it his way to remind the people of what the Lord had said about the Messiah through the Prophet Zechariah: Tell this to Zion's daughter: Look now! Here comes your King.  He's humble, mounted on a donkey, yes, on a foal, it's young. The king they expected was going to ride into Jerusalem on a chariot or at least on a great warhorse.  But God's king is different.  A great warrior might take care of the Romans and even take his throne.  He could set things to rights in the way of earthly kings, but the world would still be subject to sin and death.  So Jesus acted out the prophecy.  The disciples brought the donkey and Jesus humbly rode it into the city.  And the people cheered all along the way.  They spread their cloaks on the road.  Others cut branches form the trees and scattered them on the road.  The crowds who went ahead of him, and those who were following behind shouted, “Hosanna to the son of David!  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!  Hosanna in the highest!”  And the whole city was gripped with excitement when they came into Jerusalem.  “Who is this!” they were saying.  And the crowds replied, “This is the prophet, Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.   With that prophetic reminder, at least some of the people seemed to get it even if it wasn't what they expected.  Jesus was fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy.  The long-awaiting king had come.  But not everyone got it.  Jesus wasn't finished with his acted out prophesies.  Matthew says that he went straight to the temple and when he got there he threw out the people who were buying and selling in the temple.  He upturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers.  It is written, he said to them, “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a brigand's lair!”  The blind and lame came to him in the temple and he healed them.  But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the remarkable things he was doing, and the children shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were very angry.   The king was fulfilling the words of the prophets.  He came in humility.  And he came announcing that he really was going to set the world to rights.  He was going to set the world to rights in a way that would make the temple obsolete.  All through his ministry he'd been showing how he was the new bridge between God and sinful humans and that last week he spent in the temple—starting with this acted out prophecy and continuing as he healed and preached, he made it clear.  So clear that the people invested in the temple and the priesthood and that whole system took it all for blasphemy and had him arrested. Our long Palm Sunday Gospel today—Matthew 27—vividly depicts the Messiah's humble way to his throne.  Betrayed by his friends, rejected by his people.  Standing humbly before the Roman governor so many people expected him to slay.  Facing trumped up charges made by lying men.  Left condemned to death as the people chose instead that Pilate should free a brutal, violent revolutionary—a man truly guilty of the trumped of charges against Jesus.  Standing humbly as the very people he came to save cried out to Pilate, “Crucify him!”  Standing humbly as he, the king, was rejected by his own people who cried out, “We have no king but Caesar!”  Standing humbly as Roman soldiers mocked him, beat him senseless and scourged him, ripping the skin from his body.  Humbly dragging the very cross on which he would be crucified through the city.  The king, nailed to a cross and hoisted to die between two violent thieves as his own people shouted blasphemies at him, as the chief priests and scribes mocked him shouting, “He rescued others, but he cannot rescue himself.  If he's the king of Israel, let him come down from the cross!  He trusts in God; let God deliver him now if he's really God's son!” For hours it went on.  Jesus, pulling on those nails driven through is wrists, pushing on the nails driven through his feet, lifting himself to gasp for breath through the pain, while the people gathered around: Jews, Romans, even the pastors, the shepherds of his people who claimed to speak for God mocked him and shouted blasphemies.  Luke writes that Jesus prayed for them: Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.  And eventually his body could take no more and Jesus breathed his last breath.  And, Matthew says, the earth shook.  The great veil that guarded the holy of holies in the temple was torn in two.  And the Roman centurions standing guard were scared out of their wits and announced the very thing Jesus' own people would not: He really was the son of God!   Brothers and Sisters, there can be no Easter without Good Friday.  To set the world to rights—to really set to rights—not just to take a throne, not just to defeat the Romans—but to defeat sin and death and to reconcile sinful men and women to God required a king willing to let evil rise up to its full height, to let evil concentrate itself all in one place, and to let it do its worst, crashing down on him all at once.  It required a king willing to throw himself into the gears of this fallen, broken, and sinful world to bring them to a stop.  It required a king willing to give his life for his own people even as they mocked and blasphemed him, so that he could rise from that humiliating death to overturn the verdict against him, rise victorious over sin and death and the absolute worst that they could do.  Only that humble king could defeat death and bring life—real and true life—back to God's creation and gather a people forgiven, cleaned by his blood, and filled with his Spirit to become a new temple, a new holy of holies where the nations would—where the nations now—enter the presence of God. It was in that humble king that those Roman centurions saw something they had never seen before.  Their Caesar called himself the son of God, but in Jesus they saw the God of Israel at work in all his glory, in all his love, in all his mercy, in all his faithfulness—like no god they'd ever known—completely unlike any god or goddess honoured in the Pantheon.  Whether they knew it or not, those centurions that first Good Friday announced the defeat of Jupiter and Mars, of Hera and Diana, of Neptune and Vesta and all the others.  And they announced the defeat of Caesar, too.  In less than three centuries, the Emperor of Rome himself would be captivated by the good news about Jesus, the son of God, the great King who was setting the world to rights. But Brothers and Sisters, the good news about Jesus, crucified and risen, didn't go out through the empire and to the nations all on its own.  It was carried, it was stewarded by a people—by a church—that, itself, took on the humility of the Saviour.  The bones of those martyrs buried in the Pantheon are a testimony to the faithful and humble witness of Jesus' people in those early centuries.  They didn't just proclaim a message.  They lived it out as a community—as the vanguard of God's new creation born that first Easter morning.  In the midst of a world of darkness, of false gods and idolatry, of brutality and immorality hard for us to imagine today, they gave the pagans a glimpse of God's future.  By the way they lived, they lifted the veil and showed the world God's new creation.  It was not only the proclamation of the church, but the very life of the church that showed the world a better way, a way no one before had ever known. Here's the truth of it: The people of the humble king must be humble too or it's all for nought.  This is why Paul, writing to the Philippians, says to them, If our shared life in the king brings any comfort; if love still has the power to make you cheerful; if we really do have a partnership in the Spirit; if your hearts are at all moved with affection and sympathy—then make my joy complete!  Bring your thinking into line with one another.  In other words, if you're going to be a gospel community for all the world to see  Have this mind amongst yourselves!  Here's how to do it.  Hold on to the same love; bring your innermost lives into harmony; fix your minds on the same object.  Never act out of selfish ambition or vanity; instead, regard everyone else as your superior.  Look after each other's best interests, not your own.   But it's so hard to do that, Paul!  So, so hard!  And Paul knew that.  And so he takes them back to the cross.  Brothers and Sisters, everything goes back to Jesus and the cross!  This is how you should think amongst yourselves, Paul goes on—with the mind that you have because you belong to Jesus the Messiah.  And now he doesn't quote from the passion narratives because they weren't written yet, although I think that would have worked just as well.  Every Holy Week we immerse ourselves in the passion narratives and Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John remind us of the very thing Paul writes here.  But instead Paul breaks out into song.  He reminds them of a hymn they presumably all knew and he copies it out for them: Who, though in God's form, did not regard his equality with God as something he ought to exploit.  Instead, he emptied himself, and received the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men.  And then, having human appearance, he humbled himself, and became obedient even to death, yes, even death on a cross.  And so God has greatly exalted him, and to him in his favour has given the name which is over all names.  That now at the name of Jesus every knee within heaven shall bow—on earth, too, and under the earth.  And every tongue shall confess that Messiah Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.   Paul reminds them of the humble king, the son of God who not only took on our flesh, but who gave his life in the most painful and humiliating way possible so that on his way to his throne he might take us with him. Brothers and Sisters, the only way we will ever be faithful in being the people Jesus has called us to be, the only way we will ever be faithful in being the new creation people the Spirit has made us, the only way will ever be faithful stewards of the gospel is to keep the cross of Jesus always before us.  There's a reason why we confess our sins before we come to the Lord's Table.  There is a reason that we repeatedly recall our unworthiness to enter the presence of God on our own merit.  There is a reason why, as we rise in the morning and as we go to bed at night, we confess our sins.  It's so that as we hear the absolution and as we come to the Table, we will remember just how gracious and merciful and loving God has been to us.  It's why we sing songs like “Amazing Grace”.  Amazing grace is such a sweet, sweet sounds, because apart from grace we are such sinful wretches.  And it is inevitable that when we forget this, when we start to think of ourselves as deserving of the gifts God has poured out on us, when we forget the heinousness and offensiveness of our sins and our rebellion against God, dear Friends, that's when we forget the true power of the gospel and the true mercy of the cross and the great depth of the love of God for sinners.  When we forget the sinfulness of our sin, we lose sight of the amazingness of God's grace.  Eventually we lose the mind of Jesus the Messiah and we cease to be the community of humble servants that he has made us.  And our light grows dim.  Our witness fails. We see it happening all around us in the West.  We've stopped talking about sin and we've thought more highly of ourselves than we ought.  We preach a doctrine of cheap grace.  And our light has gone dim.  Our churches have emptied and the culture has claimed them for its own.  In some they preach false gospels of prosperity or the divinity of man or the goodness of sexual perversion.  We setup idols to politics and earth power in them.  Some are literally gutted, becoming theatres or bars.  Others are little more than tourist attractions: testimonies to the power of the gospel in the days we proclaimed it, but now empty, dead shells.  The culture removes the cross and sets up altars to its idols.  Brothers and Sisters, before it is too late, let us knee before the cross of Jesus and look up.  Let it fill our vision.  Let us remember that he—the sinless son of God—died the death we deserve.  And let us meditate on the depth and power of his grace that we might share the humble mind of our humble king, that we might be the people he has called us to be, the people he has given his Spirit to make us, the people who will steward the gospel until every knee bows and every tongues confesses that Jesus the Messiah is Lord and gives glory to God the Father. Let's pray: Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for mankind you sent your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility:  Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.

Today on the show, we're diving into an incredible story of endurance, resilience, and getting behind the agricultural community. Joining Ben is Hugh Addison from Cumbria, who, with his sister Alex and a few friends, is gearing up for a once-in-a-lifetime endurance challenge—which they have called the Borderline Challenge. This September, they will cycle, swim, and run a staggering 550km from Sligo in Ireland to the mouth of the Tyne in England, using nothing but human power.The challenge is also about raising vital awareness and funds for The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institute (RABI)—a charity supporting the mental health and well-being of those in rural and farming communities.Today, we'll hear from Hugh about why he and Alex have taken on the challenge, we'll hear about how they are training for it, and their personal connection to the cause they are supporting. We'll also explore the highs and lows they anticipate, from cycling across Ireland's rugged landscapes to braving the icy North Channel swim and running the length of Hadrian's Wall. To support Hugh, Alex and the rest of the team visit their justgiving page  or find out more on their website. Meet the Farmers is produced by RuralPod Media, the only specialist rural podcast production agency. Please note that this podcast does not constitute advice.

Tune-in and find out how radical beards, fantastical walls, and ancient man-love all play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode: 1345 Hadrian's Pantheon: The world's largest domed structure for 1800 years.  Today we build a big room.

In around 108AD, the Legio IX Hispania, or the Ninth Legion, a unit of just over 5,000 men, was last recorded at York in Britannia, and possibly heading north towards Caledonia, modern day Scotland. What happened next no one knows for sure, and the Ninth disappeared from historical record. The loss would have been a stunning humiliation for the Rome, but what would be the response of Hadrian, the emperor who took power a few years later in 117AD? Within a few years a new wall dividing Britannia from the wild Novantae and Selgovae tribes would be constructed, a wall that still stands today and is named after the emperor under which it was built.

Eudocia was from Heliopolis of Phoenicia (now Baalbek in Lebanon). A surpassingly beautiful pagan, she led a licentious life and became wealthy from the gifts of her many lovers. One day an elderly monk, Germanus, came to Heliopolis and stayed with a Christian whose house adjoined Eudocia's. At night, he began to read aloud from the Psalter and a book on the Last Judgment. From next-door, Eudocia heard him. Her heart was reached, and she stood attentively all night, listening to every word in fear and contrition. The next day she begged Germanus to visit her, and he explained the saving Christian faith to her. Finally, Eudocia asked the local bishop to baptise her. She freed her servants, gave all her wealth to the poor, and entered a monastery.   "Her former lovers, enraged at her conversion, her refusal to return to her old ways, and the withering away of her beauty through the severe mortifications she practiced, betrayed her as a Christian to Vincent the Governor, and she was beheaded"(Great Horologion). According to some,this was under Trajan (98-117); according to others, under Hadrian (117-138).   The Prologue gives a somewhat different account: that after entering the monastery, Eudocia was permitted to pursue the monastic life in peace — with such devotion that, thirteen months after she entered the monastery, she was chosen as abbess. She lived for fifty-six years in the monastery, and was granted the gift of raising the dead. In her old age, a persecution of Christians arose, and Eudocia was beheaded along with many others. "Here is a wonderful example of how a vessel of uncleanness can be purified, sanctified and filled with a precious, heavenly fragrance by the grace of the Holy Spirit" (Prologue).

The Roman Empire has one of the most enduring legacies of any civilization due to its ability to adapt to shifting circumstances. The emperor Trajan was famous for his aggressive expansion, extending Roman borders to their greatest extent. His successor Hadrian is famous for his wise decision to recognize the limits of Roman power and fortify the boundaries of the empire to a reasonable extent which the state could maintain. As Donald Trump explores both isolationist and expansionist options Alex Petkas, host of the "Cost of Glory" podcast, joins me to discuss what America can learn from these two great leaders.

Die Althistorikerin Anna Dolganov über einen antiken Kriminalfall und eine drakonische Bestrafung. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus. Das Thema:Anna Dolganov ist eine Sensation gelungen: Sie hat gemeinsam mit weiteren Forschern das „Papyrus Cotton“ übersetzt und interpretiert  und damit zum ersten Mal die konkrete Gerichtspraxis des römischen Staates in Iudaea und Arabia, entlegenen Provinzen des Reiches, nachvollziehbar gemacht. Der Papyrus legt Zeugnis ab von der angespannten Lage kurz vor dem Ausbruch des dritten jüdischen Aufstandes gegen die römische Herrschaft. Die beiden Angeklagten wurden nicht nur des Steuerbetrugs bezichtigt, sondern auch der Verschwörung. Dolganov berichtet im Podcast über das zur Last gelegte Verbrechen, die Strafen, die darauf (vermutlich) folgten und wie fast unleserliche Schriftstücke der Antike übersetzt und interpretiert werden können. Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Anna Dolganov ist Althistorikerin und Papyrologin am Österreichischen Archäologischen Institut (ÖAI) der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (ÖAW) in Wien, wo sie ein Projekt über das römische Archivwesen leitet. Die Sozial-, Rechts- und Institutionsgeschichte des römischen Reiches ist einer ihrer Schwerpunkte ebenso wie die Interpretation dokumentarischer Quellen wie etwa Papyri.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus.

Donald Trump wants manufacturing jobs back in America. That has always been the goal of Hadrian, a factory in California that churns out all types of precision metal parts for aerospace, space and defense companies faster, more efficiently and with fewer people. Now, Hadrian wants to build out a network of cookie-cutter, high-tech machine shops across the country to shake up a giant and fragmented industry.Maggie McGrath, Senior Editor at Forbes, chats with Chris Power, the CEO and Founder of Hadrian, about why it's crucial for American manufacturing to become a powerhouse again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

More on semikhah - ordination -- both the process of whether laying on of hands is necessary and why 3 judges were essential. Including the promised story and Who's Who about Yehudah ben Bava. Ordination itself was grounds for a death sentence (during the Hadrian persecutions), and destruction of the places where it was being given, to eliminate Jewish authority. The discussion comes back to the position that 3 judges are not required for ordination, but a complicated route to get there with regard to rabbinic authority and Jewish continuity. Also, how 3 judges, or maybe 5, are required for a case of an "eglah arufah," the heifer whose neck is broken, when a murdered body is found outside city limits -- from the verses in the Torah on this case.

The Roman winter festival celebrating the harvest god, Saturn, laid the foundations for many of our Christmas traditions today- feasting, gift-giving and revelry. During Saturnalia, Emperors held elaborate games at the Colosseum while others gave gag gifts. Meanwhile, in the home, the societal hierarchy was flipped - slaves were served by their masters at the dinner table and out in the streets it was a carnival of music, dancing and debauchery.Dan is joined by Dr Frances Macintosh, The English Heritage Collections Curator for Hadrian's Wall in the North East and she takes Dan through a typical Saturnalia.This is episode 1 in our 'Origins of Christmas' series. Every Wednesday in December, Dan explores the history behind our Christmas traditions—from extravagant Tudor feasts and carolling to midwinter Solstice celebrations, the bawdy entertainment of the Georgians, and the family-focused customs of the Victorians.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and James Hickmann and edited by Max Carrey and Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

Czy wiecie jaka jest historia chrześcijaństwa? Jak powstała ta religia oraz dlaczego się podzieliła? Dlaczego dzisiaj jest tak wiele religii chrześcijańskich? Ten odcinek zawiera uproszczoną wersję historii chrześcijaństwa w Europie. Musicie też pamiętać o tym, że dzisiaj w wielu krajach istnieje tolerancja religijna. To znaczy, że wyznawcy różnych religii tolerują siebie nawzajem. W przeszłości tak jednak nie było. Dochodziło czasem do okropnych rzeczy.Zacznijmy od samego początku. Kiedy zaczyna się historia chrześcijaństwa? Jezus został ochrzczony przez Jana Chrzciciela gdy miał około 30 lat. Trzy lata później został zabity. Ponieważ nasz kalendarz jest liczony od momentu kiedy Jezus miał się narodzić, tak więc dzień jego śmierci czyli rok 33 uznaje się za moment od kiedy istnieje religia chrześcijańska.Chrześcijanie byli bardzo długo prześladowani. Oznacza to, że zakazywano tej religii, palono jej księgi, np. Biblię, a samych chrześcijan zamykano do więzień oraz zabijano. Kiedy zakończyły się te prześladowania? W tamtych czasach w Europie rządzili cesarze rzymscy. To właśnie oni kazali prześladować chrześcijan. Nie wszyscy, ale wielu z nich, np. Neron, Domicjan, Hadrian, Trajan czy Dioklecjan. Te prześladowania zakończył cesarz Konstantyn Wielki w roku 313. Wprowadził on w cesarstwie tolerancję religijną. Tolerancja oznacza, że każdy może sobie wybrać jaką religię chce i nie będzie prześladowany.Dlaczego cesarz Konstantyn Wielki zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan? Tego cesarza wielu uznaje za pierwszego cesarza, który sam został chrześcijaninem. W 313 zakończył prześladowania chrześcijan. Rok wcześniej czyli w 312 odbyła się bitwa przy moście Mulwijskim. Podobno cesarz Konstantyn zobaczył wtedy na niebie krzyż i miał umieścić go na sztandarach swojego wojska.Konstantyn Wielki miał być pierwszym chrześcijańskim cesarzem. Po nim prawie wszyscy cesarze także byli chrześcijanami. Gdy jednak chrześcijan przestano prześladować zaczęli się oni dzielić na różne religie chrześcijańskie. Podział religii oznacza, że z jednej religii, z jednej organizacji religijnej powstają dwie mniejsze. Dlaczego jednak religie dzielą się? Są dwa główne powody. Po pierwsze religie dzielą się dlatego, że nie zgadzają się co do jakiejś nauki. Np. na soborze nicejskim w 325 spierano się o to czy Jezus jest Bogiem? Po tym soborze nastąpił podział na tych, którzy wierzyli w Trójcę i tych, którzy nie wierzyli w tą naukę.Drugi powód dla którego religie się dzielą to kwestia tego kto jest najważniejszy. Np. w kwietniu 1378 wybrano nowego papieża Urbana VI. Potem we wrześniu wybrano drugiego papieża Klemensa VII. Przez parę lat było dwóch papieży. Wszyscy katolicy dalej mieli tą samą wiarę, nauczali tego samego, np. nauczali o Trójcy. Jednak różne państwa uznawały różnych papieży np. Francja i Szkocja uznawały za papieża Klemensa VII, a Polska, Anglia i Niemcy Urbana VI.Te dwa przykłady pokazują, że czasami do podziału dochodzi gdy jest różnica w wierzeniach, np. czy wierzyć w Trójcę, a czasem gdy jest różnica w tym kto jest najważniejszy, np. kto jest papieżem. Jednak oba te podziały nie były trwałe. Chrześcijanie ponownie się połączyli w jedną religię. Były jednak trwałe podziały czyli takie które trwają do naszych czasów.Jaki był pierwszy trwały podział chrześcijaństwa? Cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na część zachodnią oraz wschodnią. Na zachodzie mówiono po łacinie, a na wschodzie po grecku. W tamtym okresie było pięć najważniejszych miast chrześcijańskich. Biskupi tych miast byli uznawani za najważniejszych. Były to: Jerozolima, Antiochia, Aleksandria, Konstantynopol oraz Rzym. Gdy jednak powstał Islam muzułmanie zdobyli pierwsze trzy miasta: Jerozolimę, Antiochię i Aleksandrię i to przestały być chrześcijańskie miasta. O Islamie mówiliśmy w odcinku 123.Pozostały dwa główne chrześcijańskie miasta Rzym i Konstantynopol. Doszło do kłótni, kto jest ważniejszy czy papież w Rzymie, czy patriarcha w Konstantynopolu i 1054 roku doszło do wielkiej schizmy czyli wielkiego podziału. Powstał kościół katolicki na zachodzie oraz prawosławny w Konstantynopolu. Ten podział widać do dzisiaj i to nie tylko w religii. Na zachodzie używa się innego alfabetu niż na wschodzie Europy.Polska znalazła się w części katolickiej dlatego u nas używa się alfabetu łacińskiego, a Rosja była w tej części prawosławnej dlatego oni mają inny alfabet. Tak więc zachodnia Europa miała religię katolicką oraz alfabet łaciński, a wschodnia Europa miała religię prawosławną oraz alfabet grecki.W XVI wieku doszło do kolejnego podziału w Europie zachodniej czyli podziału w kościele katolickim. Co się wydarzyło?Odpusty to były opłaty za przebaczenie grzechu. Do czego kościół katolicki potrzebował tych pieniędzy? W tym czasie papierze chcieli zbudować Bazylikę św. Piotra w Rzymie i potrzebowali na to dużo pieniędzy. Jeden z takich wysłanników sprzedających odpusty pojechał do Niemiec.Marcin Luter był mnichem, któremu nie podobało się, że sprzedaje się odpusty.Podobno do drzwi kościoła w Wittenberdze przybił spisane przez siebie 95 tez przeciwko tym odpustom. Rozpoczął on reformację czy próbę zmiany kościoła. Nie był on pierwszy, bo przed nim takimi reformatorami byli John Wycliffe w Anglii i Jan Hus w Czechach. Marcin Luter miał jednak coś czego oni nie mieli.W 1455 Gutenberg wynalazł druk. Od tej pory można było wszystko drukować. Tak więc kiedy w 1517 roku Luter przybił do drzwi kościoła te 95 tez jakiś drukarz zaraz zaczął je kopiować i sprzedawać. W ten sposób idee Lutra się rozpowszechniły bardzo szybko. Wycliffe i Hus tego nie mieli ich pisma trzeba było przepisywać.Luter zapoczątkował powstanie religii protestanckiej. Ta nazwa pochodzi od tego, że Luter zaprotestował przeciwko odpustom. Później religie protestanckie podzieliły się dalej na wiele mniejszych religii, ale często określa się je właśnie jako religie protestanckie.Co zapamiętaliście?Kiedy w cesarstwie rzymskim zakończyły się prześladowania chrześcijan?Czy pamiętacie wszystkie główne podziały w chrześcijaństwie?Dlaczego cesarstwo rzymskie podzieliło się na dwie części?Dlaczego ten podział jest ważny dla religii chrześcijańskiej?Kto się pojawił w XV wieku?Kim był Jan Hus?Przeciwko czemu był Luter?Dzisiaj panuje tolerancja religijna, ale w przeszłości tak nie było. Dochodziło do wielu wojen z powodu religii. Np. gdy Luter stworzył religię protestancką doszło do wojny 30-letniej w Europie, podczas której kraje katolickie walczyły z krajami protestanckimi.Do podziałów religijnych dochodzi gdy dwie grupy mają różne wierzenia lub mają różnych przywódców. Np. jedni wierzą w Trójcę, a inni nie lub jedni mają jednego papieża, a inni drugiego.

Welcome to the afterparty. We're gaming 'till we drop. Which might be pretty soon tbh because it turns out we're not as young as we once were. Alba articulates why we're still up gaming when all sensible souls have retired for the evening. Kenan's in charge of the quiz show this week which proves to be as bad an idea as it was last time. We explore the etymology of "meta" and Kenan recaps recent travels.

Archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams talk about the discovery of an ancient Roman knife handle found at Hadrian's Wall. You'll find out why it's not as recent a discovery as news reports might suggest. There's news from China where analysis of over one-thousand artefacts are only just starting to reveal new secrets about the people of Sanxingdui, in the western Sichuan province. Ling Xin from Archaeology Magazine explains what life might've been like in this hidden Chinese kingdom. You'll also learn the perfect trowelling technique from Time Team's Matt Williams and the show's creator, Tim Taylor, lets you in on his hopes and plans for Time Team's future. All that plus an excellent question about stairs in Roman villas. Submit your question to Helen now by supporting us on Patreon. Head to patreon.com/timeteamofficial for more information.

We've got a bit of a change of pace this week, with previous AT thru-hiker, Katie Westling, sharing her past year of adventures, with hikes in France, Ireland, and England. Katie started with the Tour du Mont Blanc last year, then headed over to Ireland for the Dingle Way this year, followed by Hadrian's Wall Path soon after. Katie shares her hike with us, as well as a couple of links to organizations that helped her on her way. They are: Self-Guided Hiking & Biking Vacations | Macs Adventure and Tour du Mont Blanc - Self Guided. Doctor Lynne wanted to memorialize her late father on the show, as he was the person who inspired her outdoor adventures and loved hearing her with me on the podcast. He must have been so proud of her. If you'd like to speak about someone who influenced your outdoor adventures, drop me an email at steve@hikingradionetwork.com, and we'll make it happen. Our new book reading, Happy Hiking, by my friend, Emily Leonard is–of course–written from a woman's POV and a woman's voice. I hope you enjoy listening to my reading of it. If you'd like to buy the book, you can find it on Amazon at Happy Hiking: Falling in love on the Appalachian Trail, or on Emily's website, at Happy Hiking. I used my recent hike in the UK on the South West Coast Path to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %.

The memoir is a fascinating form to explore. I'm always intrigued as to how an author can adapt their life and fit it into the confines of a page. How does one capture all its complexities, contradictions, and fleeting moments, in a narrative that feels both honest and coherent? My guest today is Susanna Crossman, a British-French writer, essayist, and clinical arts therapist, who has just published Home is Where We Start with Penguin Random House. The book is her own account of growing up in ‘the fallout of the Utopian Dream' – in a politically revolutionary Community in the late 1970s. In the fascinating work, she blends memoir and social commentary, weaving philosophical ideas into the wider narrative of her own experiences with community and disillusionment. It was great talking with Susanna today, and I'm so pleased to be able to share her insightful, nuanced thoughts about literature in general. Susanna has recently started a Substack, which you can check out here. Susanna Crossman's four books were: On The Banks of Plum Creek, Laura Ingalls Wilder (1937) The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera (1984) Memoirs of Hadrian, Marguerite Yourcenar (1951) What is Ancient Philosophy?, Pierre Hadot (1995) Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!

The Ancient Greeks believed they existed before the dawn of time, yet they're a mystery to most, so, for this week's Bonus Episode we're exploring the long and complex history of Nymphs!Part of the "Three Ravens Bestiary" series, we start off discussing the roles Nymphs played in the Greco-Roman pantheon, including how they were classified and eventually used, in Imperial projects, to present local and regional gods of pagan cultures, such as the Celts and Britons, as less powerful than the Olympians. This then sees us look at examples of some ancient genius loci from across England, including those found in shrines at Hadrian's Wall, where some local deities defied the odds and survived well into Christianization, later becoming recognised as Saints. From there we head in two directions - firstly, forward, via Chaucer, Marvell and Shakespeare, into a place where Nymphs and Faeries got a little bit muddled up in the British mindset. After that, we journey back to the start, exploring how writers like Hesiod, Homer, and many others, developed and contributed to the collective idea of 'Nymph Lore' - the roles Nymphs played in city foundation, how they were worshiped, and what 'Nympholepsy' - Nymph Madness - was, and why some people sought it out! Via discussions of the 18th century invention of the idea of 'Nymphomania' - in contrast with other misogynistic (and anti-British) ideas such as Tacitus' characterisation of the Roman Witch Empress Messalina, the vengeful Iceni Queen Boudica, and figures like Britannicus, we wash up in the present day - a time when being called a "nymph" seems to have nothing to do with nature spirits, and much more to do with systems of power and control...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman talks to biologist Jeannette Loram about her recent multi-day hike across England. Katy, with her sister Mary, walked from east coast to west coast along the length of Hadrian's Wall. Katy and Jeannette talk about Katy's physical preparation for the walk; the (four pairs!) of shoes Katy selected and when she used them; the changing terrain and gait patterns she adopted and how she felt over the course of the trip. Finally Katy shares her physical and philosophical insights after many days of walking.    --For more info about the events in Boulder Colorado, go to https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/live-events/

While wars are still waged today and atrocities still occur, many argue that this is actually the most peaceful period of humankind. Is this true? And if so, why is this the case? Is society's inherent desire for peace higher than it was in ancient and medieval times? Is the value of peace and protecting human life given a greater premium than it was in the past? Are our values fundamentally different than they were in prior centuries and millennia? Were power, dominance and legacy valued more greatly in ancient and medieval times? Or rather, is it not so much that our values have shifted, but more so that the framework of modern society has more checks and balances to keep power and wars in check?
