HEROINE SPLITSKOG SPORTA, Herci Ganza Čaljkušić i Robert Kučić

Izdavač: Vetus Itinera, Split, 2013. 

Ova predivna knjiga je bila predstavljana u Arheološkom muzeju u Splitu. Split je poznat za izuzetne brojne vrhunske sportaše, ali manje se zna za one ženske koje su se bavile sportom kroz povijest grada. Procijena knjige na neovisnom portalu Dalmacija News kaže: "Nema čovjeka u Splitu koji u ovoj knjizi neće prepoznati svoju rodicu, prijateljicu, kolegicu, učenicu...".

Sport u Splitu, za žene i kao za muškarce, je veoma jedna velika i bogata tradicija.

ZAŠTO KINEZI NE BROJE KALORIJE, Lorraine Clissold

Autorica: Lorraine Clissold 

Naziv originala:“ Why the Chinese don't count calories“. Vlastito izdanje 2008. godine

U Hrvatskoj knjigu je izdala Mozaik knjiga 2010. godine. Prijevod Mihaela Velina

Vrlo interesantna knjiga o kineskom poimanju hrane i prehrane. Tradicionalna prehrana Kinezima omogučava da jedu dobro i obilno, da se ne debljaju, a ne trebaju se „patiti“ raznim dijetama kao ljudi zapadne civilizacije, kako se nebi udebljali ili bi smanjili masne naslage po tijelu.

Knjiga ne govori samo o hrani (u njoj ima i recepata) kao o bitnom pokretaču svih ljudskih funcija nego i o shvaćanju života u svoj njegovoj punoći. U kineskoj kulturi dominantan je holistički pristup pa to vrijedi i za kulturu hranjena. Hrana ima zadatak osnažiti ljudski chi zbog čega treba jesti živu hranu, a ne industrijski prerađenu. Osim toga biljna hrana, posebno hrana iz svježih listova koji su puni sunčeve energije je bolja od mesa jer chi iz mesa je izveden iz energije biljaka koje je životinja jela. U kineskoj kuhinji vegetarijanstvo nije ništa više prisutno nego u drugim kulturama. Samo je količina mesa u bitno manjoj količini i meso nije u „glavnoj ulozi“ u obroku.

Kinezi imaju tri glavna obroka – mi bismo rekli tri ručka. I svaki obrok treba sadržavati svih pet glavnih okusa, kiselo. gorko, slano, slatko i ljuto. Samo takav obrok je potpun i omogućava svim organima uravnotežen rad. Svaki okus potpomaže rad neknog vitalnog organa. Tako kiseli okus utječe na rad jetre i gušterače, gorki na rad srca i tankog crijeva, slatki na slezenu i želudac, ljuti na pluča i debelo crijevo te slani na bubrege i mjehur. Potrebno je naučiti koji je dominantan okus svake namirnice, no to nije previše složeno. Gorak i ljut okus jednostavno se dobivaju i dodavanjem raznih začina.

U prehrani važna je i životna dob. U starijoj životnoj dobi treba jesti više gorke i ljute hrane. Slatka hrana nije dominantna ni u jednoj životnoj dobi, ali je treba svakodnevno jesti. Kinezi ne jedu slatku hranu na kraju obroka kao desert, nego je ukomponiraju negdje u sredini obroka. Obzirom da im tijelo primi uravnotežen obrok koji potiče rad svih vitalnih organa tijelo im ne traži posebne slastice, kao što je navika zapadnjaka.

Knjiga nas poučava da je uravnoteženost ključni princip u kineskoj kuhinji. I ne samo u kuhinji već je to jedan od ključnih principa kineske životne filozofije . I svaki način prehrane utemeljen na tom principu je dobar i održava nas u dobrom stanju. NK

  • Advocates say conservative states’ push to define gender as ‘biological sex’ would backslide on decade-old language within the UN

    A row over the definition of the term “gender” threatens to bog down pivotal talks at the Cop30 climate summit.

    Before the UN talks in Brazil, hardline conservative states have pushed to define gender as “biological sex” over their concerns trans and non-binary people could be included in a major plan to ensure climate action addresses gender inequality and empowers women.

    Saúl, a Quechua-speaking mountain guide, farmer and father who lives in the Andean highlands, was the lead plaintiff in a landmark climate lawsuit against the German energyfirm RWE. On 28 May, thehigherregionalcourt of Hamm dismissed his case on the grounds that there was no concrete threat to Saúl’s home.

    London’s congestion charge will rise by 20% in January from £15 to £18 and electric vehicle drivers will be liable to pay to enter the heart of the capital for the first time.

    EVs will no longer be exempt from the levy, Transport for London said, but will pay a lower rate. Electric car drivers will get a 25% discount, paying £13.50 a day, while electric vans and HGVs will pay £9 – 50% of the full charge.

  • Exclusive: Supporters say grants largely going to middle-class households, but experts warn move will slow transition from gas boilers

    Hundreds of thousands of homeowners will lose their right to subsidies for eco-friendly heat pumps as a result of government plans to bring down energy bills at the budget.

    Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, is planning to announce a series of measures to bring down energy bills amid concerns the country’s stubbornly high cost of living is driving millions of voters to Reform UK.

    A quarter of the world’s population lives within three miles (5km) of operational fossil fuel projects, potentially threatening the health of more than 2 billion people as well as critical ecosystems, according to first-of-its-kind research.

    A damning new report by Amnesty International, shared exclusively with the Guardian, found that more than 18,300 oil, gas and coal sites are currently distributed across 170 countries worldwide, occupying a vast area of the Earth’s surface.

  • Tyrella Beach, County Down: The surface of the sea is churning with desperate fish and hungry seabirds. This is life and death down the end of a telescope

    Out to sea there is a squadron of juvenile great black-backed gulls, each one dark as a witch’s cape against the tide’s limpid sheen. I turn my scope to match their flight, chasing them until they splash down at the edge of a messy raft of birds.

    At first I just tick off the species: adult herring, common and great black-backed gulls, dipping their heads almost casually into the water; a gannet irritably wielding its sword-like bill at the mob; razorbills and guillemots in their seasonal tuxedos, diving down and popping up around the larger birds. Askance of the main fray, cormorants buck smoothly under the surface and more gulls tip from the sky. When a winter‑white black‑headed gull struggles back into the air with a silver rag hanging from its bill, I pull back my scopeand finally realise what’s happening. I’m witnessing a feeding frenzy – a bait ball.

  • Climate summit in Brazil needs to find way to stop global heating accelerating amid stark divisions

    “It broke my heart.” Surangel Whipps, president of the tiny Pacific nation of Palau, was sitting in the front row of the UN’s general assembly in New York when Donald Trump made a long and rambling speech, his first to the UN since his re-election, on 23 September.

    Whipps was prepared for fury and bombast from the US president, but what followed was shocking. Trump’s rant on the climate crisis – a “green scam”, “the greatest con job ever perpetrated”, “predictions made by stupid people” – was an unprecedented attack on science and global action from a major world leader.

  • Host uses Indigenous concepts and changes agenda to help delegates agree on ways to meet existing climate goals

    Shipping containers, cruise ships, river boats, schools and even army barracks have been pressed into service as accommodation for the 50,000 plus people descending on the Amazon: this year’s Cop30 climate summit is going to be, in many ways, an unconventional one.

    Located in Belém, a small city at the mouth of the Amazon river, the Brazilian hosts have been criticised for the exorbitant cost of scarce hotel rooms and hastily vacated apartments. Many delegations have slimmed down their presence, while business leaders have decamped to hold their own events in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

  • Brazil’s president welcomes world leaders while navigating divided government, promising action on deforestation and emissions

    Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has welcomed world leaders to Belém for the first climate summit in the Amazon, where conservationists hope he can be a champion for the rainforest and its people.

    But with a divided administration, a hostile Congress and 20th-century developmentalist instincts, this global figurehead of the centre left has a balancing act to perform in advocating protection of nature and a reduction of emissions.
