The tribe of Toulambis comes for the first time in contact with whites



1976, the Team Explorer Jean-Pierre Dutilleaux came for the first time in contact with the primitive tribe of Toulambis (Papua, New Guinea), whose members hadn't ever come in contact with the outside world and neither had seen man with white skin. The camera captured the fearful and full of curiosity their reaction.

Carpaccio

Primero un poco de historia que la culturilla siempre va bien y si haces esta explicación frente a tus comensales ya te los has ganado

El carpaccio lo inventó Giuseppe Cipriani en 1950 en el Harry 's Bar de Venecia, junto a la plaza San Marcos. Un buen día la condesa Amalia Nani di Moncenigo entró en el bar y le pidió si tenía algún plato de carne cruda. Cipriani en supo preparar uno, a toda prisa, cortando una fina lámina de carne de buey que aderezó con mayonesa y mostaza. Y como se llama, este plato ?, preguntó la condesa. Cipriani, evocando una exposición que se hacía entonces sobre Vittore Carpaccio, bautizó el plato improvisadamente con el nombre del pintor veneciano: carpaccio de buey. Fue un homenaje a los colores rojo y amarillo de sus pinturas.



La historia se cuenta en la obra de David Paloma "Personajes convertidos en palabras" (Barcelona: Barcanova, 2015)

Como hacerlo fácil?

Material
Solomillo de buey o ternera (otra carne roja también puede servir, incluso atún)
Limón
Aceite
Sal
Pimienta
Parmesano

Métodos:

Limpia bien la carne de grasa y nervios. Una vez la tengas a punto la envuelves en film de cocina y al congelador para que se endurezca ( Ojo hay q evitar q se congele del todo pues si no va a ser mucho más difícil de cortar)
A seguir con una sierra de cocina se corta a finas lonchas (si eres un samurai o un jamonero igual con un cuchillo bien afilado lo resuelves). Una vez tienes las lonchas puedes majarlas con cuidado y así te quedan más aplanadas.
Salsa:
Zumo de limón  y aceite de Oliva (proporción de 4 partes de limón por 3 de aceite)
Sal y pimienta al gusto

Al servirlo se distribuyen las lonchas de carne sobre el plato y se pueden añadir lascas de parmesano sobre el carpaccio (a los q les gusta el verde la rúcula o las alcaparras combinan bien con la carne cruda). Finalmente se vierte la salsa sobre todo el plato y se puede añadir pimienta negra al gusto.


Koxinga




His life reads like a movie, only you may not have heard of him because the movie has yet to be made. Born to a father who was a Chinese pirate and a Japanese mother from a Samurai family, Koxinga was a Ming Dynasty warrior who fought fiercely against the Ching and the Dutch. Though defending China, one European remarked that Koxinga seemed more bound to the Japanese warrior ideals his mother would have raised him with. Eventually plunging into crippling delirium and insanity, his battles nonetheless inspired notable art, such as the woodblock print pictured here. A Japanese art piece depicting a Chinese martial hero, the artist renders Koxinga in such a way that, while artistically dynamic, is not without martial realism. Koxinga cuts with one sword while chambering a blow with the other (or potentially: keeping the chambered sword close to protect his body). Elements of the posture from the position of the hands to the feet can be found in our own two sword method we practice (juxtaposed pictures for our Archive).

Dakuwaqa's Garden. The Ocean as you have never seen it




Underwater footage shot whilst scuba diving in the Fiji islands and Tonga. Featuring colorful coral reefs, huge schools of tropical fish, sharks, humpback whales, underwater caves, scuba divers and much more marine life from the south Pacific. The coral reefs of the south Pacific are alive with a huge variety of tropical fish and marine critters. A great way to explore them is to scuba dive with the Nai'a liveaboard based in Fiji.
