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 and officials argue that consequences of Israeli siege are inextricably linked to tackling the climate crisis

    As countries negotiate over climate finance, Palestinian officials and advocates have come to Cop29 in Baku to highlight global heating’s intersection with another crisis: Israel’s siege on Gaza.

    “The Cop [meetings] are very keen to protect the environment, but for whom?” said Ahmed Abu Thaher, director of projects and international relations at Palestine’s Environment Quality Authority, who had travelled to Cop29 from Ramallah. “If you are killing the people there, for whom are you keen to protect the environment and to minimise the effects of climate change?”

  • Conservationists failed to capture elusive insects this summer, so Kristina Kenda offered to step in

    When British conservationists flew to Slovenia this summer hoping to catch enough singing cicadas to reintroduce the species to the New Forest, the grasshopper-sized insects proved impossible to locate, flying elusively at great height between trees.

    Now a 12-year-old girl has offered to save the Species Recovery Trust’s reintroduction project. Kristina Kenda, the daughter of the Airbnb hosts who accommodated the trust’s director, Dom Price, and conservation officer Holly Stanworth in the summer summer, will put out special nets to hopefully catch enough cicadas to re-establish a British population.

  • Among sweeping rightwing electoral victories across the globe, the ‘big loser of the elections has been climate’

    An unprecedented year of elections around the world has underscored a sobering trend – in many countries the commitment to act on the climate crisis has either stalled or is eroding, even as disasters and record temperatures continue to mount.

    So far 2024, called the “biggest election year in human history” by the United Nations with around half the world’s population heading to the polls, there have been major wins for Donald Trump, the US president-elect who calls the climate crisis “a big hoax”; the climate-skeptic right in European Union elections; and Vladimir Putin, who won another term and has endured sanctions to maintain Russia’s robust oil and gas exports.

  • Fourth consecutive year that seals have bred at Orford Ness, where more than 130 pups were born last season

    The first grey seal pup of the season has been born at a remote shingle spit that was once a cold war weapons-testing site.

    The birth at Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast marks the fourth consecutive year of seals breeding there, which began in 2021 after a reduction in visitor access because of the Covid pandemic.

  • Spain is increasingly either parched or flooded – and one group is profiting from these extremes: the water-grabbing multinational companies forcing angry citizens to pay for it in bottles

    After catastrophic floodsengulfed Valencia last month, killing more than 200 people, it might seem counterintuitive to think about water shortages. But as the torrents of filthy water swept through towns and villages, people were left without electricity, food supplies – and drinking water. “It was brutal: cars, chunks of machinery, big stones, even dead bodies were swept along in the water. It gushed into the ground floor of buildings, into little shops, bakeries, hairdressers, the English school, bars: all were destroyed. This was climate change for real, climate change in capital letters,” says Josep de la Rubia of Valencia’s Ecologists in Action, describing the scene in the satellite towns south of the Valencian capital.

    In the aftermath, hundreds of thousands of people were reliant on emergency tankers of water or donations of bottled water from citizen volunteers. Within a fortnight, the authorities had reconnected the tap water of 90% of the 850,000 people in affected areas, but all were advised to boil it before drinking it or to use bottled water. Across the region, 100 sewage treatment plants were damaged; in some areas, human waste seeped into flood waters, dead animals were swept into rivers and sodden rubbish and debris piled up. Valencia is on the brink of a sanitation crisis.

  • From YouTube video guides to sourcing parts, here are some ways to extend the life of your appliances and sentimental items

    One of the best ways we can reduce our household’s carbon footprint is to repair things instead of throwing them away. But it’s also a way of life for many people.

    “Seems I’ve spent most of my life fixing stuff because I was brought up that way,” observes Phil, from Bedfordshire. “I look at everything that comes my way as potentially useful and more often than not, it is,” writes Richard, a designer from Essex.

  • Residents concerned as North Carolina city lifts boil advisory and scientists detect lead in water at area schools

    When the western North Carolina town Swannanoa was battered by Hurricane Helene in September, two large trees crushed Stephen Knight’s home. His family of six was launched into a complicated web of survival: finding a temporary home, applying for disaster relief, filing insurance claims.

    The new logistics of living included the daily search for food and water. Until earlier this week, most residents of this town east of Asheville had no drinkable tap water for 52 days. After the storm damaged infrastructure around the region, water had been partly restored in mid-October. It was good for flushing toilets but not safe for consumption. In some places, sediment left the water inky like black tea.
