Akupunktura Igła Akupunktura, czyli leczenie przez nakłuwanie ludzkiego ciała, jest specyficzną techniką medycyny niekonwencjonalnej, wywodzącą się z krajów dalekiego Wschodu takich jak Japonia, Chiny, czy też Mongolia. Jest ona obecnie uznawana w wielu krajach jako uzupełnienie medycyny konwencjonalnej, chociaż jej skuteczność jest przedmiotem debat i trwających badań klinicznych.

Akupunktura służy do redukowania odczuwanego przez człowieka bólu oraz do utrzymania lub przywrócenia równowagi energetycznej organizmu, będącej warunkiem jego sprawnego funkcjonowania – informuje nas Barbara Tomaszewska znawca kultur i religii wschodnich. Technika ta polega na nakłuwaniu ciała srebrnymi lub złotymi igłami w odpowiednich jego punktach, odpowiadających za największą aktywność narządów wewnętrznych. Punkty te zlokalizowane są wzdłuż tak zwanych meridianów, czyli inaczej mówiąc linii energetycznych, które są zgodne z koncepcją wyrównywania potencjału energetycznego organizmu – informuje pani Barbara. Obecnie istnieje na świecie jeden wydział medycyny, którego celem jest nauczanie metod akupunktury. Wydział ten znajduje się na Akademii Medycznej w Pekinie stolicy Chin.

Penalty Pain – Euro 2008

By Steven Muller
Two appalling refereeing decision and a shock victory for Croatia over Germany looked to add up to the end of Poland’s Euro 2008 campaign in Austria on Thursday night. The Poles will now go out if Germany as expected beat Austria on Monday. Even a draw would leave coach Leo Beenhakker’s side needing to beat Croatia by two goals to go through.

It all looked so good until English referee Howard Webb awarded the penalty, deep into stoppage time for the slightest of tugs on an Austrian shirt by Mariusz Lewandowski.

Ivica Vastic, the oldest player on the pitch at 39, gave Artur Boruc no chance, levelling Roger Guerreiro’s clearly offside first-half strike.

Krasiczyn, to niewielka miejscowość położona niedaleko Przemyśla w województwie Podkarpackim. W piętnastym stuleciu, wioska ta nosiła nazwę Śliwnicy, a była ona własnością hrabiego Śliwińskiego, który wygrał ją w karty od pobliskiego biskupa Morągiewicza.

W 1525 roku, kiedy to na rynku krakowskim miał miejsce hołd pruski złożony przez Albrechta Hohenzollerna dla osoby Zygmunta Starego Jagiellona, właścicielem wsi został Jakub z Siecina, który pobudowany tam dwór obronnym sukcesywnie zaczął przekształcać w zamek.
