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

  • Exclusive: Whistleblower figures show large rise in ‘serious’ to ‘minor’ downgrades based on water company evidence

    Environment Agency (EA) staff have downgraded thousands of serious pollution incidents by water companies in England without visiting to investigate, data unearthed by freedom of information (FoI) requests suggests.

    The figures were obtained by Robert Forrester, a whistleblower who left the agency in January and has spent nine years shining a light on the state of the water industry. His identity was revealed in the Channel 4 docudrama Dirty Business this week, and he has vowed to carry on fighting to expose the truth.

  • There is no end in sight to the pollution caused by a ‘broken’ system. Experts say it could even be getting worse

    Sarah Lambert took her usual morning swim for 40 minutes off Exmouth town beach before her volunteer shift helping disabled people get access to the water.

    A wheelchair user herself, Lambert’s regular sea swims twice a week between the lifeboat station and HeyDays restaurant were the perfect form of exercise for her disability.

  • Hood hill, North Yorkshire: It’s a huge sycamore on top of a hill with amazing views of the Dales. Now we just have to get to it

    A crisp clear day and welcome relief from a soggy winter – we’re off on my favourite walk, to Sammy’s Tree. There’s nothing to beat a hill climb on a winter’s day – frost and ice underfoot, the odd patch of snow on the hills above. We start on a track through mature conifers and ancient cherry trees, passing some hazel trees, their catkins already fully extended. A fallow deer, all legs and mottles, scurries away through the trees (much better than seeing a dead one on the roadside) and a flock of finches races through the treetops.

    Then we burst out on to the open hillside which is covered in dormant heather and bilberry. A pair of grey squirrels chase each other round a stunted scrub oak, the green and grey lichen on the branches letting us know how clean the air is up here. At last, we’re on the ridge, with a sharp drop on either side and views stretching more than 30 miles over the Vale of York to the Yorkshire Dales. The sharp nose of Penhill, the gateway to Wensleydale, sparkles in the sunlight. We pass a crater showing where a bomber crashed in the second world war. Then, finally, we reach the top and the best bit of all – Sammy’s tree! It’s a huge sycamore that crowns the hill on the remains of a Norman motte-and-bailey fortress – and it just has to be climbed.

  • Understanding biodiversity within species is key to our understanding of why nature works the way it does, say researchers

    • Words and photographs by Roberto García-Roa

    Twelve miles from the heart of Rome, Dr Javier Ábalos pauses his walk, lifts his sunglasses and points. To his right, perched on a rocky wall, sits a beautiful lizard. Its body is coated in charcoal-black tones speckled with striking yellow across a green dorsum, and its head, with a prominent jaw, is splashed with fluorescent blue spots. The reptile basks in the sun, unconcerned by our presence.

    About 80 miles (130km) drive farther along the road that connects the capital with the small village of Poggio di Roio, the researcher from the University of Valencia has barely stepped out of the car when he spots another lizard. This one is smaller, with a brownish body and a narrower head crisscrossed by a network of dark stripes.

    Researchers fear the common wall lizard of the white morph could be driven to extinction by the arrival of a new variation

  • Ice Memory Foundation’s specially dug ‘sanctuary’ offers storage for cores, which hold thousands of years of history

    Last month the Ice Memory Foundation opened the first ever sanctuary for mountain ice cores in Antarctica, where samples will be stored for centuries to come.

    The cores, typically 10cm in diameter and a metre or more long, are stored in a specially excavated ice cave. The first to be laid down came from two Alpine glaciers that are rapidly shrinking.

  • Local river defenders force U-turn by occupying grain terminal operated by one of US powerhouses of world trade

    “A victory for life.” That was the triumphal message from Indigenous campaigners in the Brazilian Amazon this week after they staved off a threat to the Tapajós River by occupying a grain terminal operated by Cargill, the biggest privately owned company in the United States.

    “The river won, the forest won, the memory of our ancestors won,” said the campaigners in Santarém when it was clear their actions had forced the Brazilian government into a U-turn on plans to privatise one of the world’s most beautiful waterways and expand its role as a soy canal.

  • Litter picking groups struggle to stem tide of rubbish after reported incidents rose 10% in last year

    Last Wednesday, in a layby outside Brackley, Northamptonshire, Trish Savill and her band of self-styled Wombles proudly took photos of their morning’s work: 28 bags stacked neatly against the verge.

    It had taken them an hour, but they had barely made a dent in the sprawl of unrecognisable, rotting refuse already working its way into the soil, mixed with dumped white goods and some more dubious finds.

  • Falling groundwater, extreme heat and water-intensive farming are accelerating land collapse, forcing a rethink in agricultural practices

    Fatih Sik was drinking tea with friends at home when he heard a rumbling sound outside that grew to a loud boom, like a volcano had erupted nearby. From the window, he saw water and mud shoot into the sky, as high as the tallest trees, less than 100 metres away.

    The 47-year-old knew what it was, because it is common in Karapınar, Konya, a vast agricultural province known as Turkey’s breadbasket. A giant sinkhole had opened up on his land. Fifty metres wide and 40 metres deep, it had appeared almost a year to the day after a previous one had formed. It was August – the hottest month of the year.

  • With most Scots supportive of reintroducing the wild cat, charities are focusing on those whose jobs could be affected

    Could lynx, the elusive wild cat driven to extinction in Britain more than 1,000 years ago, become the new Loch Ness monster? “Whether Nessie’s there or not, she draws tourists,” said Margaret Luckwell, a resident of Moray, Scotland. “It would be the same with lynx. I’d love to see a lynx in the wild.”

    Luckwell’s view is a majority one among local people gathering at village halls across the Highlands, as a painstaking consultation slowly gathers momentum for the apex predator’s return to Scottish forests.
