Denna vecka blickar podden bakåt, 50 år närmare bestämt. Med Torun Nilsson, journalist och författare, som ciceron diskuterar vi alla de förändringar som legat till grund för den finansmarknad vi har idag. Avregleringar, utländskt kapital och framväxten av private equity är några hållpunkter, liksom lärdomar från alla krascher och vad de gav upphov till. Ägande och risk är bärande teman, och Torun bjuder också på några sköna anekdoter från finanslivets tungviktare.

“Once you become a champion instead of a medalist, it shifts something. I used to think a medal was the best thing ever. Now I'd probably be a little disappointed with just a medal. That's a blessing and a curse.”My guest for today's episode is Georgia Hunter Bell. In March, at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Georgia won gold in the 1500m, completing a remarkable arc from Olympic bronze in Paris in 2024 to World Indoor silver in Tokyo in 2025 to world champion this spring. She did it as part of one of the most extraordinary 28-minute stretches in British athletics history, with Keely Hodgkinson and Molly Caudery becoming world champions in the same session.Georgia only went fully professional in April 2024. Before that she was working a corporate job that was about to transfer her to Sydney. In the two years since, she has put together three World Championship podiums, has run personal bests across the 800m and 1500m, and built one of the more unusual training models in elite middle-distance running while still averaging about 30 miles a week, doing long bike rides instead of second runs, and apparently ending most track sessions on the ground.In this conversation, caught from the middle of April camp in South Africa, Georgia walks through the full arc of what it took to go from bronze to silver to gold, the European Indoor heartbreak in 2025 that set up Torun, what she learned from last year's Tokyo World Championships and what she felt crossing the finish line as world champion.We also get into the outdoor season ahead with Commonwealth Games and European Championships on home soil, the 1500m European record. I also get into the awkward and wonderful question of whether she wants to be in Keely's 800m world record race and her own self-belief in attaining that. Plus, where the world indoor title sits in the athletics title pyramid.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavezGuest: Georgia Hunter Bell | @georgiahunterbellProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: When you finish a hard workout, the work isn't actually done.

After winning his second straight World Indoor 3000m title in Torun, Kerr sat down with LetsRun.com to lay out his plan to break the 27-year-old mark of 3:43.13 at the London Diamond League on July 18th. He wants a negative split, he's picking his own pacers, and he's not moving the race if it rains. Kerr talks race field politics, whether Cole Hocker or Jakob Ingebrigtsen could crash the party, the mile vs. 1500 debate, his bicarb usage, the rise of Western milers, and what it would mean to join Seb Coe, Steve Ovett, and Steve Cram as a British mile world record holder.

Bei der Hallen Masters DM 2026 in Düsseldorf ging es nicht nur um Titel, Medaillen und schnelle Zeiten – sondern auch um die Frage, was Masters-Leichtathletik heute eigentlich ausmacht. Gemeinsam mit Boyke Seemann blicke ich auf ein intensives Wochenende zurück, spreche über die stärksten Leistungen der Meisterschaften und wir hören in vier Interviews direkt aus der Halle rein.Mit dabei sind Andy Dittmar, Iris Opitz, Marc Gogol und Roland Gröger – vier Stimmen, die zeigen, wie vielseitig, leistungsstark und inspirierend die Masters-Szene aktuell ist. Es geht um Training im fortgeschrittenen Alter, um mentale Stärke, um Community, um konkrete Wettkampfziele für die kommenden internationalen Meisterschaften und um die Frage, warum Masters-Leichtathletik deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient.Boyke bringt zunächst die sportlichen Highlights aus Düsseldorf mit: starke Sprint- und Laufleistungen, Mehrfachsieger, beeindruckende Resultate in mehreren Altersklassen und vor allem das Gefühl, dass in dieser Szene Leistung und Wertschätzung besonders eng zusammengehören. Genau das zieht sich durch die ganze Episode. Denn bei den Masters geht es eben nicht nur um Zeiten und Weiten, sondern auch um Haltung, Disziplin, gegenseitigen Respekt und lebenslange Begeisterung für den Sport.In den Interviews wird es dann besonders greifbar. Iris Opitz spricht darüber, wie sie erst spät zur Leichtathletik gekommen ist, warum sie immer noch hungrig auf große Titel ist und was Sport ihr persönlich fürs Leben gibt. Marc Gogol gibt Einblicke in seine Doppelrolle als Athlet und Teammanager und beschreibt, warum ihn das familiäre Flair der Masters-Szene so sehr begeistert. Andy Dittmar liefert nicht nur ehrliche Einblicke in sein aktuelles Training und den Umgang mit Verletzungen, sondern auch spannende Gedanken zu Zielstrebigkeit, Teamgefühl und Disziplin. Und Roland Gröger erklärt, warum er Masters-Leichtathletik nicht nur als Leistungssport lebt, sondern auch als Mission versteht: Mehr Sichtbarkeit, mehr Anerkennung und mehr Respekt für diese beeindruckenden Leistungen.Außerdem geht es um den Blick nach vorne: die anstehenden internationalen Meisterschaften in Torun und die Interlands 2026, die für viele Athletinnen und Athleten bereits ein großes Ziel darstellen. Diese Folge ist damit nicht nur ein Rückblick auf die Deutschen Hallenmeisterschaften der Masters, sondern auch ein ehrlicher und motivierender Einblick in eine Szene, die sportlich und menschlich enorm viel zu bieten hat.Alle aktuellen Partner findest du hier:NordVPN mit verschlüsselter Verbindung und blockiert schädliche Seiten & Tracker.Exklusiv: Großer Rabatt auf das 2-Jahrespaket + 4 Extra-Monate gratis.

Die 73. Deutschen Hallenmeisterschaften in Dortmund sind Geschichte – und was für eine! In dieser Folge analysiert Benjamin Brömme gemeinsam mit Co-Moderatorin Linn Kleine die Highlights aus drei packenden Wettkampftagen in der Helmut-Körnig-Halle. Von Weltklasse-Leistungen über taktische Meisterwerke bis hin zu emotionalen Newcomer-Geschichten: Dortmund hat in diesem Jahr alles geliefert.Jemisi Ogunjele eröffnet den Leistungsreigen mit einem Kugelstoß-Meistertitel über 20,37 Meter – weiter als ihre Olympia-Weite in Paris. Falk Wendrich kämpft sich mit Bronchitis zum Hochsprung-Gold über 2,19 Meter und beendet damit eine Serie von sieben Silbermedaillen bei deutschen Meisterschaften. Alex Stepanov dominiert die 800 Meter der Männer mit einer persönlichen Bestleistung von 1:45,84 – im Alleingang, ohne Tempomacher, Vierter der ewigen deutschen Bestenliste.Besonders elektrisierend: das 60-Meter-Finale der Männer. Fünf Athleten unter 6,60 Sekunden – jeder Platz nur eine Hundertstel vom nächsten entfernt. Owen Ansah gewinnt Gold in 6,55 Sekunden, gefolgt von Kevin Kranz, Robin Ganter, Yannick Wolf und Dennis Almaz. Eine Tiefe im deutschen Sprint, die es so lange nicht mehr gab. Dazu Simon Batz im Weitsprung mit 8,09 Metern trotz Schulter-Tape – die stärkste Weite seit 2012 bei einer deutschen Meisterschaft.Die junge Generation zeigt Flagge: U20-Sprinterin Philina Schwarz läuft im Halbfinale eine neue persönliche Bestleistung (7,16 s) und gewinnt das Finale über 60 Meter bei den Frauen mit kühlster Gelassenheit. Peter Osazee im Dreisprung holt mit 15,80 Metern aus dem ersten Versuch heraus einen emotionsgeladenen Meistertitel – nach kurzfristigem Trainerwechsel. Malaika Mihambo sichert sich den neunten Hallentitel, Tanja Spill überrascht im 800-Meter-Finale der Frauen, und die 4x200-Meter-Staffel des SCC Berlin setzt mit Gina Lückenkemper als Überraschungsstarterin eine Weltjahresbestleistung.Außerdem: Wie ein Stimmungsblock mit Choreos und Bannern die Hallen-DM zur Party macht – und warum das die Zukunft der deutschen Leichtathletik sein könnte.

I denne episoden er jeg på besøk i kolonihagen til John Taylor i Malmö. Sammen med kona Torun, bor John Taylor i kolonihagen sin fra april til oktober. Der dyrker de et variert og vakkert utvalg av grønnsaker, frukt, bær og blomster sammen. Da Hagespiren besøkte John i kolonihagen i juli 2022, sto maisen høy og barlindhekker rammet inn bedene. John dyrker mange forskjellige grønnsaker, men bare akkurat så mye av hvert slag, som han vet at de vil spise. Epletrærne espalieres for å spare plass. Han har mange andre trær også, men gjerne småvokste. John planter to klematis for hvert tre i hagen . -Og han elsker å bli overrasket av blomster han har glemt at han har plantet.John Taylor er kjent i Norge fra det svenske hageprogrammet Trädgårdstider, som heter Hygge i Hagen når det sendes på NRK. John har sin egen hagepodkast sammen med Pernilla Månsson Colt og han skriver bøker, produserer Cider og holder foredrag om hage.Du finner Hagespiren her:https://hagespiren.no/Mail:hagespiren@outlook.comFølg gjerne Hagespiren Podcast på Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hagespirenpodcast/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/hagespirenYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBHDkK1G9iu3Ytv_pgLCOjgTusen takk for at du lytter til Hagespiren Podcast!Del gjerne podkasten med andre som du tenker vil ha glede av den.Vil du gi et bidrag til driften av podkasten, kan du vippse din støtte til Hagespiren på vipps nummer 876362.Alle bidrag settes stor pris på!

La parálisis cerebral afecta a uno de cada 500 nacidos vivos y es el trastorno del movimiento más común en los niños a nivel mundial y la principal causa de discapacidad infantil. Las herramientas de IA y la robótica han mejorado los tratamientos, ayudan a superar barreras y a tener una vida más plena e independiente. La Fundación General CSIC ha recibido una ayuda de un millón de dólares de Google.org para desarrollar modelos de IA en salud. Ya hemos contado que la mitad se destinará a la investigación de nuevos fármacos y terapias contra la enfermedad del sueño en África. La otra mitad se empleará en el desarrollo de sistemas robóticos y realidad virtual potenciados por IA generativa para mejorar la movilidad de niños con parálisis cerebral. Hemos entrevistado a Eduardo Rocon de Lima, investigador del Centro de Automática y Robótica (UPM/CSIC) y líder del proyecto. Hemos informado del hallazgo de un nuevo objeto interestelar procedente del espacio profundo conocido como A11pl3Z y del éxito de una terapia génica en China que ha permitido recuperar la audición a 10 niños y jóvenes. Eva Rodríguez nos ha informado de un estudio que ha descubierto microplásticos en óvulos y espermatozoides. Carlos Briones nos ha hablado del hallazgo de una especie de "caldo" con ingredientes para la vida en las muestras del asteroide Bennu traídas a la Tierra por la misión de la NASA OSIRIS REX.

Odcinek #205, w którym w toruńskiej Książnicy Kopernikańskiej, podczas 4 Festiwalu Gwiazdozbiór Kryminalny Kujawy i Pomorze rozmawiam z pomysłodawcą tego literackiego wydarzenia i autorem kryminałów w jednej osobie: Robertem Małeckim. Spotkanie zaczynamy od P jak podsumowania poprzednich edycji festiwalu, szybko jednak rozmowa schodzi nam na H jak historię Andrzeja Rumowskiego, właściciela warsztatu przyczep kempingowych, głównego bohatera powieści „Rumor”.Dopytuję Roberta Małeckiego o chwytliwy tytuł i budowanie świata dla nowych postaci.Przyglądamy się kolejnym bohaterom : A jak Angela, Z jak Zgon.I tu pojawia się wątek podcastu, małe śledztwo dotyczące tego jak Robert opisuje w książce realia świata podcasterów. Nie brakuje również pytań o ważny w "Rumorze" wątek P jak przyjaźni: trudnej, gasnącej, wymagającej. Rozmawiamy o jej granicach i cenie, którą za przyjaźń się płaci.Mówimy też o innym P - procesie pisania, o tym, że klocki, które układa pisarz powinny się kiedyś rozsypać. Wracamy do W jak wspomnień: przyczepy i dużego Fiata. Robert Małecki na końcu zdradza kim dla niego jest U jak uczciwy pisarz.
Poet's don't typically compete for “coolest book cover,” and it's probably because Zbigniew Herbert won years ago. Today's poem is his tender look at poverty, pleasure, and irretrievable loss. Zbigniew Herbert was born on October 29, 1924, in Poland in the city of Lvov, which is now a part of the Ukraine. His grandfather was an Englishman who settled in Lvov to teach English. His father, a former member of the Legions that had fought for restoration of Poland's independence, was a bank manager. Herbert's formal education began in Lvov and continued under German occupation in the form of clandestine study at the underground King John Casimir University, where he majored in Polish literature. He was a member of the underground resistance movement. In 1944, he moved to Krakow, and three years later he graduated from the University of Krakow with a master's degree in economics. He also received a law degree from Nicholas Copernicus University in Torun and studied philosophy at the University of Warsaw under Henryk Elzenberg.During the 1950s, Herbert worked at many low-paying jobs because he refused to write within the framework of official Communist guidelines. After widespread riots against Soviet control in 1956 brought about a political “thaw,” Herbert became an administrator at the Union of Polish Composers and published his first collection, Struna swiatla [The Chord of Light] (Czytelnik, 1956). The book immediately placed him among the most prominent representatives of the “Contemporaries” (young poets and writers associated with the weekly Contemporary Times).In 1957, Herbert published his second collection of verse, Hermes, pies i gwiazda [Hermes, the Dog and the Star] (Czytelnik). Four years later, he published his third book of poems, Studium przedmiotu [Study of the Object] (Czytelnik, 1961). In 1968, his Selected Poems, translated into English by Czeslaw Milosz and Peter Dale Scott, was released in both the United States and England, making Herbert one of the most popular contemporary poets in the English-speaking world. In 1971, he released the first Polish edition of Selected Poems.Herbert's 1983 collection, Raport z oblezonego miasta i inne wiersze [Report from the Besieged City] (Instytut Literacki), dealt with the ethical problems Poland faced while under martial law. The book was issued simultaneously through an emigré publishing house and as an underground edition in Poland. He also published a number of essay collections and works of drama. In 1962, he released his famous work, Barbarzyńca wogrodzie [Barbarian in the Garden] (Czytelnik), which was eventually translated into numerous languages.Herbert's numerous awards include the Kościelski Foundation Prize, the Austrian Lenau Prize, the Alfred Jurzykowski Prize, the Herder Prize, the Petrarch Prize, the Bruno Schulz Prize, and the Jerusalem Prize for the Freedom of the Individual in Society.Herbert was a coeditor of the poetry journal Poezja from 1965 to 1968 but resigned in protest of antisemitic policies. He traveled widely throughout the West and lived in Paris, Berlin, and the United States, where he taught briefly at the University of California, Los Angeles. He died in Warsaw on July 28, 1998.-bio via Academy of American Poets This is a public episode.

From learning how to love yourself to discovering how to manifest the romantic love of your life, this podcast episode is for you! You will learn the 3 keys to finding “The One.”Key # 1 - Claim Your PowerTo create a happy and healthy love life, it's important to cultivate a clear intention and positive vision of what that looks like. However, despite our efforts, we may find it difficult to break patterns of attracting the wrong people.To manifest change, it's necessary to step back and understand these patterns by taking ownership of our unconscious and habitual choices and making conscious decisions toward creating the kind of love life we desire.Key # 2 - Clear Your BlocksOur early caregivers' behaviours and attitudes toward us shape these core beliefs, which we then internalize as a narrative about ourselves. We can begin to wake up from the matrix of our old false beliefs and recognize what is truly possible for us in love. Key # 3 - Connect with the Future YouBy discovering and claiming your True Love Identity, you can break free from painful patterns and start living your version of a happy, fulfilling love life. By tapping into the possible version of yourself, already loved, safe, supported, heard, seen, cherished, and deeply worthy of happiness, you unlock a powerful magic that can compel the Universe to bring great love straight to your doorstep.ResourcesTransformational Life CoachingFREE 7-Day Journal to Self-LoveLinda's LinksBonus Meditation l Who Am I?Discover Who You Really Are l S1E016About the Guest:Alicja was personally trained by Katherine Woodward Thomas and certified as a Calling in “The One” and Conscious Uncoupling Coach.

It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless.

Peace Talks is pleased to welcome Dr. Tory Baucum to the show! Dr. Baucum is a noted peacemaker and spoke with us about his work in Poland over the last decade. He also covered so much more including how the Bible can be a tool to divide people or bring them together, what he learned hanging out at the Warsaw train station at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and what his abolitionist legacy means to him.Dr. Tory Baucum, Director of the Center for Family Life at Benedictine College, served for 30 years as an Anglican Pastor, seminary, and university professor. In this past decade he and Elizabeth, his wife, worked ecumenically and closely with the Catholic Church, especially with the Italian movement Mistero Grande and its founder Don Renzo Bonetti. Beginning in 2018, Tory's friends, Fr. Paul Scalia and Fr. Dominic Legge O.P., prepared Tory and his wife for acceptance into the Catholic Church. Archbishop Naumann received them into the Church Easter of 2020. Since then, Tory has served in the Archdiocese of Kansas City-Kansas. On Feb 19, 2023, Prof. Baucum was inducted into the Copernican Academy in Torun, Poland in recognition of his life's work in peacebuilding.Subscribe to PEACE TALKS Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peace-talks/id1590168616About the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace:Justice and peace come from the inside out—from the overflow of a transformed heart. This belief led our founder, Bishop Todd Hunter, to start the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace in 2021. The Center brings together a diverse, interdenominational community of people who want to be formed in love to heal a broken world. Because “religion” is often part of the problem, we've created a brave, Jesus-centered space for dialogue, questioning, creating and exploration.

Episode 137- The Critical Role of Education with Dr. Krzysztof Celuch We are delighted to be speaking with another rockstar in our industry today! Dr. Krzysztof Celuch has recently been awarded a place in the Hall of Leaders of our industry! He has had an awesome career in academics. He has been with the Convention and Business Bureau and volunteered for many different organizations. He joins us from Poland to tell his inspiring story and talk about his certifications and the importance of education. He also discusses the academic and voluntary work he does. We hope you enjoy listening to today's fascinating conversation with Professor Krzysztof Celuch! Bio: Professor Krzysztof Celuch, Ph.D. MBA, DBA, CMM, CITE, CIS, HMCC, CED – an academic professor and an entrepreneur, Krzysztof specializes in event experiences, event marketing, and management. His scientific research, training, and keynotes are all built on knowledge of economics, business psychology, sociology, marketing, and cultural studies. He conducts workshops and training, gives lectures, and moderates panel discussions, debates, and management meetings. He implements research projects, builds strategies, and provides business consulting services. He helps organizations, institutions, and companies in the areas of management, communication, motivation, and business development, with particular emphasis on the meetings industry (event marketing). He is an associate professor at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, deputy rector of Vistula School of Hospitality, and visiting professor in Austria, France, the USA, and China. Dr. Krzysztof's education Dr. Krzysztof believes in education because it can be used to change the world. He likes to listen to others and learn from them. He was happy to have fulfilled his educational goals this year. He joined various industry associations' certification programs and focused on university education. He likes to tie the different aspects of what he has learned together, implement his knowledge, and share it to bring some heart to the next generation of leaders. Dr. Krysztof's journey Dr. Krysztof used to be a traditional folklore dance instructor. When he was around nineteen, he focused on dancing and started studying at a sports academy. After about two years, he decided to change direction and began working as a tour guide. He was also writing his bachelor's degree thesis on incentive travel at the time and read the only Polish book available on business tourism. A coincidence Coincidentally, a guest in one of Krzysztof's tour groups was Rob Davidson, the author of the book he had read on business tourism. Krzysztof asked him many questions, and Rob encouraged Krzysztof to become a member of MPI. Step by step Dr. Krzysztof joined MPI in 2005. He continued to move forward step by step, writing, listening, and connecting with industry leaders. Future Leaders Forum Together with several organization leaders, Dr. Krzysztof started the first chapter of the Future Leaders Forum in Warsaw. Academics Dr. Krzysztof loves academia and sharing his knowledge! His academic journey began with a dance movement in high school. NGO The first NGO Dr. Krzysztof got involved with was the International Association of Folklore Festival Traditions (CIOFF). Organizations After joining MPI, Dr. Krzysztof joined IMEX and then the Convention Bureau. He spent five years working for the Warsaw Convention Bureau, during which he loved promoting the capital of Poland! He started as a student intern and worked his way to becoming a manager. The next step in his career was to become the head of Poland's Convention Bureau, and he spent the next fifteen years there. A private university After graduating with his Master's degree, a private university asked Krzysztof to share his knowledge about tourism and the meetings industry. He is still with them today. Giving back Dr. Krzysztof believes that we should give back what we have previously received. Decisions We need the right information to make informed decisions. Dr. Krzysztof believes that it is crucial to consult the heart and include an emotional component in the decision-making process. The American way Dr. Krzysztof enjoys American efficiency and the American way of getting down to business and following up. But he sometimes misses the European chit-chat and storytelling. A challenging industry The hospitality industry can be challenging. Dr. Krzysztof finds that people new to the industry tend to lack inspiration. He also finds them not as motivated as those with more experience, unwilling to work hard if they do not earn vast amounts for their efforts, and unprepared when they have arranged to meet someone. Preparing Dr. Krzysztof believes it is vital to be focused and prepared when meeting someone. It's worth spending a few minutes having a coffee or a drink with them before the meeting to get to know them. The Internet The internet is a helpful tool for preparing for a meeting because it allows you to learn about those you intend to meet. Building relationships Half of Dr. Krzysztof's clients are based in Europe, half of them are in the Middle East, and a few are in the US. In the US, building relationships used to take much longer than it did in Europe. However, since Covid, things have changed. Volunteering Dr. Krzysztof spent years volunteering for MPI and many other organizations. Through that, he has met many new people and learned about different cultures and religions. When you volunteer, NGOs can help you build your position and become who you truly are. Krzysztof points out that this is our life and our planet, so we all need to engage, get involved, share our knowledge, and give back in any way we can! Full bio: Dr. Krzysztof Celuch Ph.D., DBA, MBA, CMM, CITE, CIS, HMCC, CED – an academic professor and an entrepreneur, Krzysztof specializes in the meetings industry, event marketing, and event management. His scientific research, training, and keynotes are all built on knowledge of economics, business psychology, sociology, marketing, and cultural studies. He conducts workshops and training, gives lectures, and moderates panel discussions, debates, and management meetings. He implements research projects, builds strategies, and provides business consulting services. He helps organizations, institutions, and companies in the areas of management, communication, motivation, and business development, with particular emphasis on the meetings industry (event marketing). Motivation: “When we meet, We change the world” might be the current slogan of the Meetings Professionals International (MPI) association, but personally, I have always found these words to be a great source of inspiration. Belief in the power of events and being aware of tools making meetings efficient and effective are what made the innovative-sounding “meetings industry” my area of specialty. Education and professional growth: Diploma in tourism and recreation, doctorate degree in the field of humanities (political sciences), experience gained in international organizations, management of a destination marketing organization (DMO), participation in scientific and research projects – all of these factors contributed to the development of new qualities in the discussed interdisciplinary field. Achievements and experience: Scientific and business portfolio: 20 years of experience in providing training in an international environment, i.a. in the USA, Scandinavia, Mexico, and Poland 15 years of academic experience in the USA, China, and Poland at such universities, as i.a. San Diego State University, Skema Business School, Warsaw School of Tourism and Hospitality Management (part of the Vistula Group of Universities), Warsaw University, Mikołaj Kopernik University in Toruń Keynote speaker at scientific and industry congresses, business conferences, kick-off meetings, and motivation-centered events Author of 150 articles and five books dedicated to event management Holder of international training certifications: MPI Global Training, Sustainability in Tourism, Certified Incentive Specialist, EventCanvas Implementation of research projects, including Poland Meetings Impact (The Economic Impact of Poland's Meetings Industry), the first report of this type in Poland (and eighth in the world Conducting destination marketing campaigns Management of the cooperation between the business, public and scientific sectors, including the moderation of meetings held by association and corporation boards. Awards: MPI RISE AWARD Young Professional Achievement 2009/2010 – awarded to individuals under 30 years of age for significant contributions to the development of global business tourism. Dallas, USA CIC Young Pacesetter Award 2012 – awarded to individuals for spreading good practices, sharing knowledge, and creating leaders.

Two Days in Toruń Poland On episode 81, we recap our two days in Toruń Poland. We're about in the middle of our multi-part series taking you to multiple cities in Poland. We spent 23 days traveling through western Poland and can't wait to share our adventures with our listeners. Toruń is a magnificent historical medieval town established by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. It sits on the banks of the Vistula River in north-central Poland and is a UNESCO world heritage site. It is one of the oldest cities in Poland - first settled in the 8th century and later expanded by the Teutonic Knights in 1233. What to see in Toruń On this episode, we'll take you through eight things to see and do while spending at least two days in Toruń Poland. Here's a list of stops we discuss during our time in this Polish city: Private Walking Tour - We chose "Walking Tour of the medieval Toruń". There are several options available spanning 2 to 6 hours. Walking tours are a great way to get familiar with a new location. Explore the Old Town - The Old Town sector offers so much history. There's a vast original architectural collection of churches, museums, shops, and restaurants. Living Museum of Gingerbread - This museum is the #1 place to visit in Toruń according to TripAdvisor. Located in the middle of the city center, this interactive experience takes place in a Medieval Bakery under the watchful eyes of a Gingerbread Master. House of Nicolas Copernicus Museum - The city has a museum devoted to the astronomer located in the Gothic tenement house that was the birthplace of Copernicus. Stepping inside is another way to get immersed in the medieval architecture of the former burgher residences. Nicolas lived in this home for the first seven years of his life. Krzywa Wieża (Crooked Tower) - Legend here says that crookedness was punishment for sinful Teutonic Knights. When you visit the tower, you're supposed to stand with your entire backside from head to heels touching the wall and stretching out your arms. If you can keep standing in this position without wobbling, then this is a sign you have a clear conscience. Monuments and Statues - We saw so many monuments in Toruń - monuments of people, of legends and of animals. Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist and John the Baptist - This Gothic-style cathedral hails from the early 13th century. Medieval Defensive City Walls Panorama - Walk across the river to see a spectacular panoramic view of the old town. There's an observation deck that is a great place for photos. The view itself is considered one of the wonders of Poland. Where to stay in Toruń We stayed at Hotel Filmar during our visit to Toruń. We did need a taxi to get here from the train station, but that only came up to about $4 US. The location was very walkable to the main/medieval city Is Toruń worth visiting? Absolutely. It offers a wealth of original medieval buildings, wonderful churches, and great places for food and drink. Don't leave without trying some of Toruń's famous gingerbread. More things to do in Toruń Like on most trips, we ran out of time for sightseeing while in Toruń. If we had more time, here are more things we suggest in this town. Teutonic Castle Ruins: We would recommend making more time to visit the Teutonic Castle ruins. The original castle was built in a horseshoe-shaped plan surrounded by a curtain wall and moats. Today the castle survives as a ruin. Planetarium: Toruń is home to both a planetarium and also an astronomical observatory that has the largest radio telescope in Central Europe.

This is the 10th episode in our series examining the impact Christianity has had on history & culture. Today we consider the impact the Faith has had on science.This subject is near & dear to me because when I first went to college in the mid-70's, I was studying to be a geologist. I'd always been fascinated by science and loved to collect rocks, so decided geology would be my field. I took many classes on the trajectory of one day working in the field as a geological engineer.I was only a nominal believer in those days and when I first entered college saw no incompatibility between evolution and Christianity. It seemed obvious to my then uninformed mind that God had created everything, then used evolution as the way to push things along. I now realize my ideas were what has come to be known as theistic evolution.One of my professors, who was herself an agnostic, was also a fastidious scientist. What I mean is, she hadn't imbibed the ideology of scientism with its uncritical loyalty to evolution. Though she admitted a loose belief in it, it was only, she said, because no other theory came any closer to explaining the evidence. She rejected the idea of divine creation, but had a hard time buying in to the evolutionary explanation for life. Her reason was that the theory didn't square with the evidence. She caught significant grief for this position from the other professors who were lock-step loyal to Darwin. In a conversation with another student in class one day, she acknowledged that while she didn't personally believe it, in terms of origins, there could be a supreme being who was creator of the physical universe and that if there was, such a being would likely be the Author of Life. She went further and admitted that there was no evidence she was aware of that made that possibility untenable. It's just that as a scientist, she had no evidence for such a being's existence so had to remain an agnostic.For me, the point was, here was a true scientist who admitted there were deep scientific problems with the theory of evolution. She fiercely argued against raising the theory of evolution to a scientific certainty. It angered her when evolution was used as a presumptive ground for science.It took a few years, but I eventually came around to her view, then went further and today, based on the evidence, consider evolution a preposterous position.I give all that background because of the intensity of debate today, kicked up by what are called the New Atheists. Evolutionists all, they set science in opposition to all religious faith. In doing so, they set reason on the side of science, and then say that leaves un-reason or irrationality in the side of faith. This is false proposition but one that has effectively come to dominate the public discussion. The new Atheists make it seem as though every scientist worth the title is an atheists while there are no educated or genuinely worthy intellects in the Faith camp. That also is a grievous misdirection since some of the world's greatest minds & most prolific scientists either believe in God, the Bible, or at least acknowledge the likelihood of a divine being.A little history reveals that modern science owes its very existence to men & women of faith. The renowned philosopher of science, Alfred North Whitehead, said “Faith in the possibility of science, [coming before] the development of modern scientific theory, is[derived from] medieval theology."' Lynn White, historian of medieval science, wrote, "The [medieval] monk was an intellectual ancestor of the scientist." The German physicist Ernst Mach remarked, "Every unbiased mind must admit that the age in which the chief development of the science of mechanics took place was an age of predominantly theological cast."Crediting Christianity with the arrival of science may sound surprising to many. But why is that? The answer goes back to Andrew Dickson White, who in 1896 published A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom. Ever since then, along with the growth of secularism, college & university professors have accepted White's argument that Christianity is an enemy of science. It unthinkable to many that Christianity could have fostered the arrival of science.There are differences between Christianity and pagan religion. One is that Christianity, with its heritage in Judaism, has always insisted that there's only one God, Who is a rational being. Without this presupposition, there would be no science. The origin of science, said Alfred North Whitehead, required Christianity's “insistence on the rationality of God."If God is a rational being, then human beings, who are made in His image, also employ rational processes to study and investigate the world in which they live. That idea moved Christian philosophers to link rationality with the empirical, inductive method. Robert Grosseteste was one of these philosophers who in the 13th C went further and began to apply this idea practically. A Franciscan bishop and the first chancellor of Oxford University, he was the first to propose the inductive, experimental method, an approach to knowledge that was advocated by his student Roger Bacon, another Franciscan monk, who asserted that “All things must be verified by experience.” Bacon was a devout believer in the truthfulness of Scripture, and being empirically minded, he saw the Bible in the light of sound reason and as verifiable by experience. Another natural philosopher & Franciscan monk, was William of Occam in the 14th C. Like Bacon, Occam said knowledge needed to be derived inductively.300 years later another Bacon, first name Francis this time, gave further momentum to the inductive method by recording his experimental results. He's been called "the creator of scientific induction."' In the context of rationality, he stressed careful observation of phenomena and collecting information systematically in order to understand nature's secrets. His scientific interests did not deter him from devoting time to theology. He wrote treatises on the Psalms and prayer.By introducing the inductive empirical method guided by rational procedures, Roger Bacon, William Occam, and Francis Bacon departed from the ancient Greek perspective of Aristotle. Aristotelianism had a stranglehold on the world for 1500 years. It held that knowledge was only acquired thru the deductive processes of the mind; the inductive method, which required manual activity, was taboo. Remember as we saw in a previous episode, physical activity was only for slaves, not for thinkers & freemen. Complete confidence in the deductive method was the only way for the Aristotelian to arrive at knowledge. This view was held by Christian monks, natural philosophers, and theologians until the arrival of Grosseteste, the Bacons & Occam. Even after these empirically-minded thinkers introduced their ideas, a majority of the scholastic world continued to adhere to Aristotle's approach.Another major presupposition of Christianity is that God, who created the world, is separate and distinct from it. Greek philosophy saw the gods and nature as intertwined. For example, the planets were thought to have an inner intelligence that caused them to move. This pantheistic view of planetary movement was first challenged in the 14th C by Jean Buridan, a Christian philosopher at the University of Paris.The Biblical & Christian perspective, which sees God and nature as distinctively separate entities, makes science possible. As has been said, Science could never have come into being among the animists of Asia or Africa because they would never have experimented on the natural world, since everything—stones, trees, animals & everything, contains the spirits of gods & ancestors.Men like Grosseteste, Buridan, the Bacons, Occam, and Nicholas of Oresme, and later Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, saw themselves as merely trying to understand the world God had created and over which He told mankind in Gen 1:28 to have "dominion". This paradigm shift is another example of Christianity's wholesome impact on the world.Belief in the rationality of God not only led to the inductive method but also to the conclusion that the universe is governed by rationally discoverable laws. This assumption is vitally important to scientific research, because in a pagan world, with gods engaged in jealous, irrational behavior, any systematic investigation of such a world was futile. Only in Christian thought, with the existence of a single God, the Creator and Governor of the universe, Who functions in an orderly and predictable manner, is it possible for science to exist and operate.From the 13th to the 18th C every major scientist explained his motivations in religious terms. But if you examined a science textbook for the local public school you'd never know. Virtually all references to the Christian beliefs of early scientists are omitted. This is unfortunate because these convictions often played a dominant role in their work.One early cutting-edge concept was "Occam's razor", named in honor of William of Occam. This idea had a tremendous influence on the development of modern science. Simply put, it's the scientific principle that says what can be done or explained with the fewest assumptions should be used. This means that a scientist needs to ‘shave off' all excess assumptions. The idea first arose with Peter of Spain but Occam finessed it into usable form. Modern scientists use this principle in theorizing and explaining research findings.As was common with virtually all medieval natural philosophy, Occam didn't confine himself just to scientific matters. He also wrote 2 theological treatises, 1 dealing with the Lord's Supper and the other with the body of Christ. Both works had a positive influence on Martin Luther.Most people think of Leonardo da Vinci as a great artist and painter, but he was also a scientific genius. He analyzed and theorized in the areas of botany, optics, physics, hydraulics, and aeronautics, but his greatest benefit to science lies in the study of human physiology. By dissecting cadavers, which he often did at night because such activity was forbidden, he produced meticulous drawings of human anatomy. His drawings and comments, when collected in one massive volume, present a complete course of anatomical study. This was a major breakthrough because before this time and for some time after, physicians had little knowledge of the human body. They were dependent on the writings of the Greek physician Galen whose propositions on human physiology were in large measure drawn from animals like dogs and monkeys. Leonardo's anatomical observations led him to question the belief that air passed from the lungs to the heart. He used a pump to test this hypothesis and found it was impossible to force air into the heart from the lungs.Lest anyone think Leonardo's scientific theories and drawings of the human anatomy were divorced from his religious convictions, it's well to recall his other activities. His paintings—The Baptism of Christ, The Last Supper, and The Resurrection of Christ—are enduring reminders of his Christian beliefs.The anatomical work of Leonardo was not forgotten. The man who followed in his footsteps was Andreas Vesalius, who lived from 1514 to 64. At 22, he began teaching at the University of Padua. In 1543 he published his famous work, Fabric of the Human Body. The book mentions over 200 errors in Galen's physiology. The errors were found as a result of his dissecting cadavers he obtained illegally.When Vesalius exposed Galen's errors, he received no praise or commendation. His contemporaries, like his former teacher Sylvius, still wedded to Greek medicine, called him a "madman." Others saw him as "a clever, dangerous free-thinker of medicine." There's little doubt of his faith in God. On one occasion he said, "We are driven to wonder at the handiwork of the Almighty." He was never condemned as a heretic, as some anti-church critics have implied, for at the time of his death he had an offer waiting for him to teach at the University of Padua, where he first began his career. Today he's known as the father of human anatomy.Where would the study of genetics be today had the world not been blessed with the birth of the Augustinian monk Gregor Johann Mendel? As often stated in science textbooks, it was his working on cross-pollinating garden peas that led to the concept of genes and the discovery of his 3 laws: the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment, and the law of dominance. Mendel spent most of his adult life in the monastery at Bruno, Moravia. Though Mendel is used by secularists to explain genetics & evolution, he rejected Darwin's theory.4 names loom large in the textbooks of astronomy: Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, & Galileo. The undeniable fact is, these men were devout Christians. Their faith influenced their scientific work, though this fact is conspicuously omitted in most science texts.Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Torun, Poland, in 1473. While still a child, his father died, and he was sent to his mother's brother, a Catholic priest, who reared him. He earned a doctor's degree and was trained as a physician. His uncle had him study theology, which resulted in his becoming a canon at Frauenburg Cathedral in East Prussia. History knows him best for having introduced the heliocentric theory that says the Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. During the Middle Ages it was suggested the Earth might be in motion, but nobody had worked out the details. Copernicus did, and therein lies his greatness.Copernicus received a printed copy of his masterwork Concerning the Revolutions of the Celestial Bodies on his deathbed in 1543. He'd hesitated to publish his work earlier, not because he feared the charge of heresy, as has often been asserted without any documentation, but because he wanted to avoid the ridicule of other scientists, who were strongly tied to Aristotle and Ptolemy. It was Copernicus' Christian friends, especially Georg Rheticus and Andreas Osiander, 2 Lutherans, who persuaded him to publish.Although Copernicus remained a moderately loyal son of the Roman Catholic Church, it was his Lutheran friends that made his publication possible. That information is surprising to many people, including university students, because most only hear that Christian theologians condemned Copernicus's work. For instance, critics like to cite Luther, who supposedly called Copernicus a fool. John W. Montgomery has shown this frequently cited remark lacks support.When Tycho Brahe died in 1601, Johannes Kepler succeeded him in Prague under an imperial appointment by Emperor Rudolph II. Kepler, who'd studied for 3 years to become a Lutheran pastor, turned to astronomy after he was assigned to teach mathematics in Graz, Austria, in 1594. Unlike Brahe, who never accepted the heliocentric theory, Kepler did. In fact Kepler, not Copernicus, deserves the real credit for the helio-centric theory. Copernicus thought the sun was the center of the universe. Kepler realized & proved the sun was merely the center of our solar system.Kepler's mathematical calculations proved wrong the old Aristotelian theory that said the planets orbited in perfect circles, an assumption Copernicus continued to hold. This led Kepler to hypothesize and empirically verify that planets had elliptical paths around the sun.Kepler was the first to define weight as the mutual attraction between 2 bodies, an insight Isaac Newton used later in formulating the law of gravity. Kepler was the first to explain that tides were caused by the moon.Many of Kepler's achievements came while enduring great personal suffering. Some of his hardships were a direct result of his Lutheran convictions, which cost him his position in Graz, where the Catholic Archduke of Hapsburg expelled him in 1598. Another time he was fined for burying his 2nd child according to Lutheran funeral rites. His salary was often in arrears, even in Prague, where he had an imperial appointment. He lost his position there in 1612 when his benefactor the Emperor was forced to abdicate. He was plagued with digestive problems, gall bladder ailments, skin rashes, piles, and sores on his feet that healed badly because of his hemophilia. Childhood smallpox left him with defective eyesight and crippled hands. Even death was no stranger to him. His first wife died, as well as several of his children. A number of times he was forced to move from one city to another, sometimes even from one country to another. Often he had no money to support his family because those who contracted him failed to pay.Whether in fame or pain, Kepler's faith remained unshaken. In his first publication he showed his Christian conviction at the book's conclusion where he gave all honor and praise to God. Stressed and overworked as he often was, he would sometimes fall asleep without having said his evening prayers. When this happened, it bothered him so much that the first thing he'd do next morning was to repent. Moments before he died, an attending Lutheran pastor asked him where he placed his faith. Calmly, he replied, "Solely and alone in the work of our redeemer Jesus Christ." Those were the final words of the man who earlier in his life had written that he only tried "thinking God's thoughts after him." He was still in that mindset when, four months before he died, he penned his own epitaph: “I used to measure the heavens, Now I must measure the earth. Though sky-bound was my spirit, My earthly body rests here."We'll end this podcast with a brief review of the 17th C, scientist Galileo. Like Kepler, a contemporary of his, Galileo searched and described the heavenly bodies. He was the first to use the telescope to study the skies, although he didn't invent it. That credit goes to Johann Lippershey, who first revealed his invention in 1608 at a fair in Frankfurt. With the telescope, Galileo discovered that the moon's surface had valleys and mountains, that the moon had no light of its own but merely reflected it from the sun, that the Milky Way was composed of millions of stars, that Jupiter had 4 bright satellites, and that the sun had spots. Galileo also determined, contrary to Aristotelian belief, that heavy objects did not fall faster than light ones.Unfortunately, Galileo's observations were not well received by his Roman Catholic superiors, who considered Aristotle's view—not that of the Bible—as the final word of truth. Even letting Pope Paul V look through the telescope at his discoveries did not help his cause. His masterpiece, A Dialogue on the Two Principal Systems of the World, resulted in a summons before the Inquisition, where he was compelled to deny his belief in the Copernican theory and sentenced to an indefinite prison term. For some reason the sentence was never carried out. In fact, 4 years later he published Dialogues on the Two New Sciences. This work helped Isaac Newton formulate his 3 laws of motion.Galileo was less pro-Copernican than Kepler, with whom he often disagreed. He largely ignored Kepler's discoveries because he was still interested in keeping the Ptolemaic theory alive. He also criticized Kepler's idea of the moon affecting tides.The mystery is - If he was less pro-Copernican than Kepler—why did he get into trouble with the theologians who placed his books on the Index of forbidden books? The answer was because he was Roman Catholic, while Kepler was Lutheran.When modern critics condemn the Church & Christianity for its resistance to the Copernican theory, it must be noted and underscored that it was not the entire church that did so. Both Lutherans & Calvinists supported the Copernican theory.And it needs to be stated clearly that the reason the Roman Church proscribed Galileo's work was precisely because they adhered to the scientific ideas of the day which were dominated by the Aristotelianism. Their opposition to Galileo wasn't out of a strict adherence to the Bible – but to the current scientific thought. I say it again - It was errant science, or what we might call scientism that opposed Galileo. This is the mistake the Church can make today – when it allows itself to adopt the politically correct line of contemporary thought; the majority opinion – what the so-called experts hold to – today; but history has shown, is exchanged for something else tomorrow.Listen: History proves that while scientific theories come and go, God's Word prevails.And that brings us to the end of The Change series. Next week we'll return to our narrative timeline of church history.
