Dobrý člověk Ondřej Vetchý
Tygr a Býk. To není název nějakého akčního čínského filmu, ale vrozené zadání jednoho z našich nejlepších, nejobsazovanějších a nejuznávanějších herců střední generace Ondřeje Vetchého. Jako Tygr je podle čínského zvěrokruhu bojovník, vznětlivý a spurný, vždy připravený na boj. Skutečnost? Od raného mládí se učil umění juda, japonskému bojovému stylu, který má v základu obranu, nikoliv útok. Proč mluvíme o bojovém umění, když je Ondřej Vetchý herec? Protože se v něm od dětství potýkala a dodnes potýká láska ke sportu jako k osudovému koníčku s herectvím jako jeho prací, povoláním, profesí a obživou. Dá se říci, že celý svůj život, který momentálně čítá 56 let (*16. května 1962), zasvětil boji. Bojuje za slušnost v chování mezi lidmi, za toleranci, pochopení, vstřícnost, proti bezpráví, rasismu, xenofobii, za ekologické myšlení, proti plýtvání, za třídění odpadků. Není lhostejný ke světu, v němž žije a v němž žijí i jeho děti, které - jím vychovány - jednou ponesou hodnoty demokracie, svobody, zodpovědnosti a občanské společnosti, a to i přes její dnešní devastaci a znevažování některými současnými politiky.
Střet bojovníka a komedianta v osobnosti Ondřeje Vetchého je pro něj osudový, ale přitom bolestný, protože mu přináší neustálou konfrontaci potřeby vnitřního klidu bojovníka a nutnosti vnějšího pozlátka popularity oblíbeného herce. On s ním podle svých slov celý život bojuje. Bojí se fotografů, bojí se publicity, nesnáší rozhovory. Pokud někomu něco řekne, tak jen lidem, které zná a kterým důvěřuje. Z charakteristik znamení Býka na něj sedí, že je workoholik, protože když se pro nějaký projekt rozhodne, jde do něj s býčí zatvrzelostí, urputností a snahou splnit úkol na maximální možnou míru co nejlépe. S tím se pojí zodpovědnost, poctivost, spolehlivost. Ondřej má také dobré srdce, což se projevuje v jeho obraně slabších a ohrožovaných i v účasti na mnoha charitativních projektech. Je otevřený všem slušným lidem, vůči těm neslušným se v něm okamžitě nastartuje bojovník. K životu potřebuje svobodu a volnost, což se projevuje zejména v práci. Roli nevytváří na základě textu, scénáře, ale na základě svého vnitřního svobodného pochopení charakteru postavy, jejího chování, myšlení, jednání. Tím se řadí k největším mistrům svého oboru.
Jeho životním číslem je trojka, která je charakteristická činorodou myslí, tvořivostí, originálností, velkou obrazotvorností a velkým osobním kouzlem a vtipem. To všechno v sobě Ondřej má a jistě i pro tento nevšední koktejl vlastností, schopností, charakteru, talentu a mužného vzhledu patří ve své generaci k hercům s největším charismatem.
Kdo by si ho nepamatoval jako čerta Janka s hodností vraníka v kultovní pohádce S čerty nejsou žerty? Jako pilota RAF Františka Slámu z nejdražšího tuzemského velkofilmu Tmavomodrý svět? Jako tatínka z Vieweghových Báječných let pod psa? Jako neúplatného novináře Kadlece ze seriálů Místo nahoře a Místo v životě? Jako zaníceného fotbalového kapitána a trenéra Jirku Luňáka z Okresního přeboru? Jako tatínka v nostalgickém svěrákovském leporelu Po strništi bos? Jako Jeronýma Pražského, Aloise Rašína nebo Lucifera? A čekají ho další zajímavé projekty, například televizní Emanuel Moravec nebo návrat do krimi žánru ve Vysoké hře... Z jen stručného výčtu minulých i budoucích rolí je zřejmé, že jeho založení bojovníka za čest, slušnost, pravdu a lásku ho vedlo k účasti v projektech z naší dávné i nedávné historie, mapujících často těžká, přelomová období či události, nebo v dílech, která řeší zlomové okamžiky v lidském životě. To však nic nemění na tom, že Ondřej Vetchý je také vtipný a veselý člověk, který má rád humor a umí perfektně vystřihnout i komediální role. Předvedl to nejen na plátně a televizní obrazovce, ale i na divadelních prknech, zejména na scéně slavného Činoherního klubu, kde působí od roku 1989.
A tak se společně začtěme do poutavého příběhu skvělého herce a dobrého člověka.

The Book of Hope
A legendary conservationist. A lifetime spent fighting for nature. An indispensable message of hope.
In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?
Looking at the headlines?the worsening climate crisis, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval?it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.
In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
Filled with inspiring stories and original photographs, The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future.
There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

What's Bred in the Bone
This was the top-prize-winning novel from 20,000 entries in one of the richest literary awards ever offered in Britain. Its convoluted and colorful plot turns on questions of heredity and atavism: the ancestry of the Waring twin brothers and of Elma Clifford. Elma comes on her mother's side from a line of gypsy snake dancers, and she displays a periodic urge to dance wildly with a feather boa in her bedroom. A murderous judge, multiple mistaken identities and scenes of tribal life in South Africa decorate this extraordinary novel, which is certainly a testament to Grant Allen's versatility and grasp of the popular market.Excerpt: "Elma felt sure she was mad that night. And, if so, oh, how could she poison Cyril Waring's life with so unspeakable an inheritance for himself and his children? She didn't know, what any psychologist might at once have told her, that no one with the fatal taint of madness in her blood could ever even have thought of that righteous self-denial. Such scruples have no place in the selfish insane temperament; they belong only to the highest and purest types of moral nature."In his biography of Allen, Professor Peter Morton says about this book: "Twice in his career Allen finds he has a great popular success on his hands. What's Bred in the Bone (1891), a sensational thriller written to order at top speed, secures him one of the largest literary prizes ever awarded in Britain: a thousand pounds from George Newnes, the publishers of the magazine Tit-Bits. What's Bred in the Bone comes first in a field of 20,000 entrants to take the prize. It sells hugely in its first year, goes into seventeen impressions, appears in the form of a silent film in 1916, and is translated into several languages, including Icelandic. Nothing demonstrates better Allen's cold-blooded judgment in analysing and meeting the popular taste." The novel was published serially in 1890 and 1891.(Reference: Peter Morton's website about Grant Allen https://sites.google.com/site/petermortonswebsite/.)

The Essential Cookbook for Beginners
The Essential Cookbook for Beginners: The best cookbooks for beginners should not only have great recipes, but they must also provide primary education on food and cooking. That first cookbook for a new home chef can be the difference between enjoying great homemade family meals versus giving up and resorting back to take-out and fast-food. A bound cookbook will need to be printed. You can take your cookbook to a print shop or print it yourself from your printer. Color printing looks more beautiful than black-and-white printing and comb, or spiral binding is more attractive than stapling or velobinding. It's also better to use a comb or spiral binding because it will allow your book to lay flat on a counter or table while you follow the recipe. A diet cookbook is something that everyone should own. This type of cookbook has many low carbs and low-fat meals that are rather simple to make. Cooking a meal at home will bring the entire family together, and it is a great way to talk about your day together. Everyone should try to eat at home at least two times a week because it is a good bonding experience. If you are on a diet, cooking at home is the best option because you know what goes into your food. Finding a good cookbook is simple as long as you know what you are looking for. There are hundreds if not thousands of diet cookbooks for you to choose from, all you have to know is what you want to eat. When people think dieting, they think they are only allowed to eat certain types of foods. This is not true at all, if you cook at home you can eat virtually anything.
What you will learn in this book:
Figure out how To Cook For Beginners in Four Easy Steps
Purchasing a Cookbook - How to Choose the Best One

Edvard Munch - Magic of the North
Munch’s pictorial worlds – the initial impetus for modernism
Edvard Munch’s radical modernity in painting was a challenge for his contemporaries. This applied in particular to the art scene in Berlin around 1900 which the Norwegian Symbolist artist influenced profoundly. In return, he received support there and was able to continue to develop his work. The publication is lavishly illustrated and describes knowledgeably the story of Munch and Berlin.
In 1892 the Association of Berlin Artists invited the still-unknown Edvard Munch (1863–1944) to an exhibition. The public was shocked by the colourful, sketch-like pictures. The artist enjoyed the furore and moved to the city on the Spree, where he repeatedly sojourned until 1908. Here he learned the techniques for printed graphics and presented for the first time paintings in several continuous series which would become central to his oeuvre. In Berlin, before long, the concept of the “Magic of the North” (Stefan Zweig) was no longer associated with romantic or naturalistic fjord landscapes, but with Munch’s psychologically concentrated pictorial worlds.
