Imperium Sodomy i jego sojusznicy

Paweł Lisicki

Stałą cechą rewolucji jest dokonywanie czystek pamięci. Każda epoka ma swoją wrażliwość i w XXI wieku chwilowo drastyczna walka z przeszłością nie uchodzi. Radykałowie wolą raczej metodę drobnych kroków. Zamiast niszczyć stare dzieła, palić je lub zakazywać ich czytania, można przecież nieco je tylko poprawić. Gdyby kiedyś prawa do wydawania dzieł polskich pisarzy dostały się w ręce apostołów wokeizmu, nie ostałby się kamień na kamieniu: stracilibyśmy i Adama Mickiewicza, i Henryka Sienkiewicza, nie wspominając o Zygmuncie Krasińskim czy Bolesławie Prusie. Każdego by potraktowano z innego paragrafu. Jednego za domniemany antysemityzm, drugiego za rasizm, trzeciego za ksenofobię, a wszystkich za patriarchalizm i maskulinizm. Na razie Polacy są daleko z tyłu. Z czyszczeniem pamięci mogli się stykać w Kościele, po soborze watykańskim II. Zniknęły wtedy tzw. psalmy złorzeczące (Pan Bóg się nie gniewa, Pan Bóg kocha wszystkich), znacznie okrojono odniesienia do groźby piekła, postawiono nacisk na to, co pozytywne i co budzi nadzieję. Postępowi teologowie próbują dowieść, że Biblia nie potępia homoseksualizmu. Według nich grzech sodomski miał być formą pogwałcenia prawa gościnności, a wtedy reszta już pójdzie z górki. Kto nie jest gościnny, ten nie chce imigrantów. Kto nie jest gościnny, ten nie troszczy się o zasoby Ziemi i beztrosko wydycha CO2 do atmosfery. Imperium Sodomy na pewno nie ustąpi. Tam, gdzie siła zderza się z racją, ta druga często musi przegrać.

Imperium zła. Reaktywacja

Tadeusz Święchowicz

Jak Ukraina potrafiła wyrwać się z uścisku Rosji i dlaczego Moskwa przegapiła ten moment? Czy to jest nasza wojna i po której stronie powinniśmy się opowiedzieć? Dlaczego Putin zakłócił pokój świata? Jaki plan ekspansji przewiduje Kreml i co jest jej zasadniczym celem? Skąd Moskwa czerpie środki na próbę wskrzeszenia dawnego imperium? Przeczytaj tę książkę i pomyśl ZANIM BĘDZIE ZA PÓŹNO!

Imperium zniszczenia. Historia nazistowskiej masowej zagłady

Alex J. Kay

Prawda o potwornym okrucieństwie i niewyobrażalnej skali nazistowskiego ludobójstwa. Pierwsza kompleksowa analiza ludobójstwa ukazująca kluczową rolę polityki wyniszczenia ludności w strategii wojennej reżimu Hitlera. Prowadząc świadomą politykę ludobójstwa, nazistowskie Niemcy zamordowały według kryteriów przyjętych przez autora około 13 milionów cywilów. Blisko połowa z nich miała żydowskie pochodzenie i została wyniszczona w ramach Holokaustu. Alex J. Kay przekonuje, że ludobójstwo europejskich Żydów można analizować w szerszym kontekście zagłady. W Imperium zniszczenia po raz pierwszy losy tej grupy etnicznej omówione zostały równolegle z historią krzywd innych grup: jeńców z Armii Czerwonej, bezbronnych cywilnych ofiar prewencyjnego terroru i działań przeciwpartyzanckich, osób z niepełnosprawnością fizyczną i intelektualną, europejskich Romów i polskiej inteligencji. Kay ukazuje powody, dla których nazistowski reżim traktował każdą z tych grup jako potencjalne zagrożenie dla zdolności Niemiec do prowadzenia skutecznej walki o hegemonię w Europie. To cenne, przełomowe dzieło zestawia pełną skalę rzezi z tragedią jednostek.

Implementacja wymogu MREL do sektora bankowego

Iwona D. Czechowska, Czesław Lipiński, Joanna M. Stawska, Joanna Stępińska, ...

Monografia stanowi kompendium wiedzy z dziedziny szeroko pojętych finansów, o istocie i mechanizmach funkcjonowania sektora bankowego oraz wiążących się z nimi problemach. Przedmiot analizy to minimalny wymóg w zakresie funduszy własnych i zobowiązań kwalifikowalnych (ang. Minimum Requirement on Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities - MREL) wprowadzony w systemach bankowych krajów UE w celu zapewnienia odporności poszczególnych instytucji finansowych na negatywne skutki zmian w otoczeniu gospodarczym, poprzez utrzymywanie rezerw kapitałowych na poziomie umożliwiającym pokrycie ewentualnych strat i rekapitalizację. W publikacji opisano zagadnienie zasadności stosowania w praktyce wymogów MREL. Zakres publikacji obejmuje sektor bankowy w Polsce, w szczególności grupę banków notowanych na GPW, a także porównanie poziomów MREL w sektorze bankowym w Polsce z poziomami w sektorach bankowych innych krajów UE. Celem opracowania jest oszacowanie potrzeb związanych ze spełnieniem MREL i przedstawienie praktycznych aspektów dotyczących tego procesu, m.in. rodzaju wykorzystywanych instrumentów, ponoszonych kosztów i możliwych czynników ryzyka. W monografii poszukiwano odpowiedzi na pytania badawcze: Jaka jest skala potrzeb w zakresie pozyskania funduszy własnych i zobowiązań kwalifikowalnych banków? Jakie instrumenty są wykorzystywane dla spełnienia wymogu MREL? Czy możliwe jest istotne zwiększenie ryzyka zagrożenia stabilności finansowej, gdyby poszczególne instytucje inwestowały w instrumenty MREL? Waga problemu MREL jest niezwykle istotna, zwłaszcza w okresach kryzysu. W opracowaniu autorzy przedstawili istotę wymogu MREL i charakterystykę wymogów ostrożnościowych, opisali zasady jego wyliczania, zaprezentowali trendy i zjawiska szczegółowe w zakresie MREL, ukazali analizę doświadczeń innych krajów, a także koszty, czynniki ryzyka i praktyczne problemy wdrożenia tego wymogu. W dotychczasowych badaniach rzadko podejmowano próby pogłębionej analizy wymogu w zakresie funduszy własnych i zobowiązań kwalifikowanych w sektorze bankowym. Oryginalność niniejszej publikacji stanowi zebranie w całość informacji na temat MREL i przedstawienie tego zagadnienia w perspektywie jego implementacji. Jest to jedna z pierwszych pozycji ujmujących w sposób tak syntetyczny i zarazem szczegółowy tego typu problematykę na rynku wydawniczym w Polsce.

Most enterprises use Cisco networking equipment to design and implement their networks. However, some networks outperform networks in other enterprises in terms of performance and meeting new business demands, because they were designed with a visionary approach.The book starts by describing the various stages in the network lifecycle and covers the plan, build, and operate phases. It covers topics that will help network engineers capture requirements, choose the right technology, design and implement the network, and finally manage and operate the network. It divides the overall network into its constituents depending upon functionality, and describe the technologies used and the design considerations for each functional area. The areas covered include the campus wired network, wireless access network, WAN choices, datacenter technologies, and security technologies. It also discusses the need to identify business-critical applications on the network, and how to prioritize these applications by deploying QoS on the network.Each topic provides the technology choices, and the scenario, involved in choosing each technology, and provides configuration guidelines for configuring and implementing solutions in enterprise networks.
