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

  • At least nine people have died in recent days as people have tried to cool off in Britain’s waterways

    Water safety experts have warned about the dangers of outdoor swimming after a number of drownings in recent days as people try to escape soaring temperatures by cooling off in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other bodies of water.

    Emergency services have reported at least nine deaths because of water-related incidents in the past few days, seven of them young people, as Britain’s heatwave sends crowds of people to the seaside and other swimming spots.

  • Researchers racing to document Oceania’s last tropical glaciers found the remaining ‘eternal snow’ in Indonesia’s West Papua region has lost almost all its ice

    An expedition to document the end days of the last tropical glaciers in Oceania has revealed sombre footage of “planetary destruction on fast-forward”.

    The once-mighty ice sheets on Puncak Jaya, a mountain surrounded by dense rainforests in West Papua, Indonesia, have survived beyond projections they would disappear by 2026 but have shrunk to a fraction of their original size.

  • Investigation finds number of dairy farms where cows cannot go outside has more than doubled since 2015

    There has been a huge rise in factory-style dairy farming of “battery cows” in the UK as farmers struggle with increasing costs and face selling milk at a loss.

    The number of intensive dairy farms that permanently confine some of their cattle indoors has more than doubled in the past 10 years, an investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) has found. Data suggests there are now at least 180 dairy farms where cows have no access to the outdoors, up from about 70 in 2015.

  • Calaminarian grassland is a rare habitat where plants thrive in soils contaminated by heavy metals. But should these toxic meadows be protected or allowed to fade away?

    At first, the small purple flowers are hard to spot in the weak May sunshine. Slowly the drifts of delicate mountain pansies, along with the white rosettes of alpine pennycress, begin to jump out, scattered across an area little bigger than a football pitch, on the banks of the River Allen in Northumberland.

    This is a pocket of calaminarian grassland, an increasingly rare habitat where specialist plants called metallophytes have adapted to live in soils deeply contaminated by heavy metals, the legacy of more than 1,000 years of lead mining.

  • Experts say climate change linked to 10% rise in salmonella antibiotic resistance genes between 1940 and 2023

    The climate crisis is accelerating a global increase in antibiotic resistance that poses a serious threat to human health, experts have said as figures show a rise in salmonella antibiotic resistant genes.

    Antibiotic resistance is one of the fastest-growing threats to global health. It can affect people of any age in any country and already kills more than 1 million people a year, according to estimates.

  • Swanage, Dorset: While the seabirds here make the headlines, my eye is drawn to the unassuming rock pipit and its accelerating song

    It’s a stunning evening for a walk at Durlston Country Park. The position of its headland on the south-west coast of England makes it a fantastic place to watch bird migration in action. As I walk along the coastal path, enjoying the panoramic sea views, barn swallows arrive from across the Channel.

    Below is a cacophony of sound coming from the cliff edges; this part of the Jurassic Coast is home to a breeding colony of seabirds, with last year’s survey recording 1,377 guillemots, 179 razorbills, 12 fulmars and just six puffins.

  • High unemployment and a lack of support mean life can be tough in Grimsby, but 19-year-old Cohen is determined to make the best of life in this coastal town

    It’s mid-afternoon in the Lincolnshire seaside town of Cleethorpes and Cohen is sitting in the back seat of a car putting on an Easter bunny outfit. A group of teenagers nearby stare in amusement. Cohen isn’t fazed. He is hoping we can take some new photographs that he can use to advertise his mascot business for the upcoming holidays.

    Cohen, 19, lives with his parents a couple of miles down the road in neighbouring Grimsby and set up Co Co Mascots last year as one of his many attempts to find work. People can hire him in one of the outfits for birthday parties, events and doorstep surprises for children. He’s done a few paid gigs so far, which has been a boost for his confidence, he says, but what he really wants is a permanent job.

  • Like so many Britons, I usually consult a weather app before venturing out of the house – and often cancel plans if I don’t like what I see. Here’s what happened when I went cold turkey for a week

    When I heard on the radio that more than half of British people would consider cancelling an outing if they saw a 40% chance of rain all day on their weather app, I felt seen. I, too, am a slave to my app. Not that I would ever make a decision based on one whole-day percentage. I pore over three-hourly breakdowns for chances of rain versus minutes of sunshine. If rain is on the cards, I check the probable millimetres. Less than one? I may well throw caution to the wind. Speaking of which, wind speed and direction must also be considered, along with overall and “feels like” temperatures. For the cherry on top, I’ll compare notes with a loved one’s app if they use a different one, quietly mistrusting theirs, and simmering in silent rage if theirs wins.

    I’ll admit, though, that my compulsion to check my app (I long ago chose WeatherPro, which I knew nothing about, but liked its layout and name) is borderline neurotic; I fret over probabilities and outfit appropriateness, when I could simply step outside for real-time hyper-local accuracy. I can lose procrastinatory hours consulting long-range forecasts, or checking the weather in Melbourne (where my sister lives) and holiday destinations I have no immediate plans to visit.

  • The state saw 33 tornadoes last year and severe flooding as researchers say links to climate change are undeniable

    The tornado hit west Ann Arbor at 1.45am on 15 April, passing through Veterans Memorial park, where it knocked several mature oak trees and ripped up baseball field fences before setting its sights on a local ice rink.

    “It came up through the parking lot and, in that time, the pressure differential between the tornado and the air inside the rink collapsed the wall,” said Scott Spooner, a manager at Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation.
