Poland’s main ports are awkwardly located exclusively at either the western or eastern end of the Polish Baltic coast, i.e. at the mouth of the Oder River or in the area of the Vistula’s estuary to the sea, and are about 280-290 km apart in a straight line. It is therefore worth considering the rationale of building a fourth deep-water port, located more or less in the middle between them, i.e. somewhere in central Pomerania, preferably on the stretch of coast between the main cities of this part of Pomerania, between Kołobrzeg and Koszalin.

The authors of the article believe that: the overly complicated methods of determining municipal waste management fee rates adopted in the Law on Maintaining Cleanliness and Order in Municipalities should be abandoned; the simplest and fairest would be to introduce a single fee on each person declaring residence in Poland, and the aforementioned fee can be linked to income tax, for example.

It remains undisputed that Kazimierz Dolny has special values for culture, and thus meets the requirements for a site wishing to be recognized as a monument of history. Unfortunately, the regulations on the protection of historical monuments: the 1966 and 1983 decisions on entry in the register of historical monuments and the 1994 order of the President of the Republic of Poland on recognition of Kazimierz Dolny as a historical monument raise a number of doubts of a substantive and legal nature – it is not known whether they are in force. Such a situation causes conflicts between a resident of Kazimierz Dolny and the authorities, especially the provincial conservator of monuments.

The history of Warsaw’s sports facilities is inscribed in the history of the city and is a document of its cultural heritage. For several hundred years, the development of the various sports practiced in Warsaw has been accompanied by investments for sports, the evolution of sports construction is visible. Thus, the history of Warsaw sports architecture covers a period of about seven hundred years: from the Middle Ages to modern times. These were both buildings erected for the needs of major sporting events, such as racetracks and are today’s stadiums, as well as sports facilities accompanying education or daily recreation of city residents.

The purpose of this article is an attempt to present a set of features with a mystical identity of the historic garden in Felicianovo. The unique character of the garden, although it results from a seemingly banal view of its space, carries in itself a great charge of the sacred, containing symbols important for the Marianist faith. The natural-spatial context is contained in the mystical reference to the Garden of Eden.

The article presents the results of an analysis of the main needs, problems and challenges related to the activities of volunteer fire departments from the Mazovian province. In order to identify them, a questionnaire survey was conducted, aimed at Mazovian TSO units. The analysis in question allowed, among other things, to identify the needs of volunteer fire departments in terms of improving equipment, raising the efficiency of unit members to carry out rescue operations, and to collect information on the preparation of units to carry out rescue operations. The submitted responses also made it possible to determine the forms of support for their activities that are most desired by TSO units.

The conclusions come to mind. Everything should be done to minimize human contact. At the same time, the economy can’t be stopped, which means that the closing of workplaces should not take place. Where, then, can and should people’s grouping be limited? Such places are undoubtedly stores, banks, post offices and offices. The most vulnerable to infection are the elderly. There are more than 9 million people over the age of 60 in Poland. If they all become ill with COVID-19, Polish health care has no chance to save them.

The Network of Volunteer Fire Brigades in the Diocese of Plock is the most extensive of Father Andrzej Zakrzewski’s works published to date – it runs to more than 400 pages – on firefighting. As a reminder, in past years books have been published on the subject of firefighting in the Sierpc district, the Tłuchów deanery, on firefighting units in the parishes of the Plock diocese, as well as publications on the patron saint of firefighters, St. Florian, and the firefighting ritual which are liturgical and pastoral aids aimed at firefighting chaplains and pastors who minister among firefighters.
