The name of the wind - patrick rothfuss

'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me' So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin. The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best, and an astounding must-read title. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience! A groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations. The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the best-kept secret in history. Did the Ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest Christians inherit the same, secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs and fungi passed from one generation to the next, ever since the Stone Age? There is zero archaeological evidence for the original Eucharist - the sacred wine said to guarantee life after death for those who drink the blood of Jesus. The Holy Grail and its miraculous contents have never been found. In the absence of any hard data, whatever happened at the Last Supper remains an article of faith for today's 2.5 billion Christians. In an unprecedented search for real answers, The Immortality Key examines the archaic roots of the ritual that is performed every Sunday for nearly one third of the planet. Religion and science converge to paint a radical picture of Christianity's founding event. And after centuries of debate, to solve history's greatest puzzle once and for all. Before the birth of Jesus, the Ancient Greeks found salvation in their own sacraments. Sacred beverages were routinely consumed as part of the so-called Ancient Mysteries - elaborate rites that led initiates to the brink of death. The best and brightest from Athens and Rome flocked to the spiritual capital of Eleusis, where a holy beer unleashed heavenly visions for two thousand years. Others drank the holy wine of Dionysus to become one with the god. In the 1970s, renegade scholars claimed this beer and wine - the original sacraments of Western civilization - were spiked with mind-altering drugs. In recent years, vindication for the disgraced theory has been quietly mounting in the laboratory. The constantly advancing fields of archaeobotany and archaeochemistry have hinted at the enduring use of hallucinogenic drinks in antiquity. And with a single dose of psilocybin, the psychopharmacologists at Johns Hopkins and NYU are now turning self-proclaimed atheists into instant believers. But the smoking gun remains elusive. If these sacraments survived for thousands of years in our remote prehistory, from the Stone Age to the Ancient Greeks, did they also survive into the age of Jesus? Was the Eucharist of the earliest Christians, in fact, a psychedelic Eucharist? With an unquenchable thirst for evidence, Muraresku takes the reader on his twelve-year global hunt for proof. He tours the ruins of Greece with its government archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the continuity from pagan to Christian wine. He unravels the Ancient Greek of the New Testament with the world's most controversial priest. He spelunks into the catacombs under the streets of Rome to decipher the lost symbols of Christianity's oldest monuments. He breaches the secret archives of the Vatican to unearth manuscripts never before translated into English. And with leads from the archaeological chemists at the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he unveils the first scientific data for the ritual use of psychedelic drugs in classical antiquity. The Immortality Key reconstructs the suppressed history of women consecrating a forbidden, drugged Eucharist that was later banned by the Church Fathers. Women who were then targeted as witches during the Inquisition, when Europe's sacred pharmacology largely disappeared. If the scientists of today have resurrected this technology, then Christianity is in crisis. Unless it returns to its roots. Featuring a Foreword by Graham Hancock, the New York Times bestselling author of America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Že se o škodlivosti těchto látek živě diskutuje a vědci zkoumají jejich dopad na lidské zdraví, dokazuje to, že pro 3 nejčastěji obsažené látky v lacích na nehty existuje terminus technicus „toxic trio“. Toluen Rozpouštědlo, které má za úkol, aby se lak nepřilepil k lahvičce. Zajišťuje hladký a celistvý povrch nátěru. Může negativně ovlivnit centrální nervový systém, srdce, játra, ledviny, způsobit reprodukční problémy, dýchací potíže, vypadávání vlasů. Při vdechnutí může skrz točení hlavy vést až k bezvědomí. Má obrovsky negativní dopad na životní prostředí. Formaldehyd Karcinogen, který se používá jako prostředek k vytvrzování nehtů a dezinfekční prostředek na nástroje pro péči o nehty, např. pilníky. Může způsobit rakovinu kůže či problémy s dýcháním. Dibutyl ftalát (DBT) Látka zajišťující lesk, chrání lak před popraskáním. Vyvolává v těle hormonánlní disbalanci. Může způsobit problémy s reprodukcí, selhávání orgánů. Od roku 2008 je na listu prioritních nebezpečných látek EU. Další toxické látky obsažené v chemických lacích na nehty: Formaldehydová pryskyřice Chemická substance používající se při výrobě plastů a barev. Dráždí kůži a může způsobit alergickou reakci. Kafr Ačkoliv se jedná o přírodní látku využívanou v kosmetice i medicíně, důležité je její množství a způsob užití. Nadměrné množství může při vdechnutí způsobit bolesti hlavy či zmatenost. Parabeny Chemické látky užívané jako konzervační činidla v kosmetice a farmaceutickém průmyslu. Do laků se přidávají pro to, aby ničily bakterie. Nicméně mohou způsobit alergickou reakci či podráždění kůže. Zabraňují nehtovým lůžkům vstřebávat potřebné živiny ze vzduchu a slunce, čímž zpomalují růst nehtů a snižují jejich kvalitu. Trifenyl fosfát (TPHP) Chemická látka používaná jako zpomalovač hoření u nátěrů na nábytek, lepidel či právě laků na nehty. Způsobuje hormonální disbalanci, a tím problémy s reprodukcí či vývinem plodu u těhotných žen. Xylen Rozpouštědlo, které negativně ovlivňuje centrální nervovou soustavu, dráždí trávící a dýchací ústrojí. Olovo Chemická látka ukládající se při vniknutí do těla zejména v kostech. Způsobuje bolesti hlavy, křeče, zácpu, poruchy centrálního nervového systému. Jak vybrat správný netoxický lak na nehty a co to netoxický lak na nehty vlastně je? Pokud máte strach, že pro vás tímto lakování nehtů nadobro končí, nebojte se. Chytré hlavy vymyslely kvalitní laky vyrobené jen za pomocí netoxických látek a procesů. Pro jednodušší výběr se doporučujeme soustředit se na 3-free, 5-free, 7-free a 9-free laky. 3-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria – toluen, formaldehyd, DBT 5-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria + formaldehydová pryskyřice a kafr 7-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria, formaldehydová pryskyřice, kafr + TPHP a xylen 9-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria, formaldehydová pryskyřice, kafr, TPHP, xylen + parabeny, živočišné složky nebo vonné látky Pokud si chcete být naprosto jistá, že lak nebude obsahovat žádnou z toxických látek uvedených výše ani žádnou jinou, zkuste bio laky na nehty Glossworks, které vám Ladybio přináší ve dvanácti různých o (zoot.cz)
