#Schalk Burger

[twilightresearch]

Wyobraź sobie następującą sytuację: wracasz do domu po ciężkim dniu w pracy lub na uczelni, czujesz się zmęczona_y i sfrustrowana_y. Czeka na Ciebie zdrowy, pełnowartościowy obiad, który przygotowałaś_eś trzy dni temu. Zamiast warzywnego leczo wolałabyś_łbyś jednak zjeść coś innego – może to być kawałek pizzy, frytki, burger czy ciasto. Bijesz się z myślami, ale w końcu postanawiasz porzucić przygotowany wcześniej obiad i zamówić pizzę. Dzwonek do drzwi, aromat pachnącego ciasta i pierwszy kęs, który… nie sprawia Ci żadnej przyjemności. Wydaje Ci się, że poniosłaś_eś porażkę, bo przecież w tym tygodniu miałaś_eś już nic nie zamawiać i postawić na bardziej przemyślane wybory żywieniowe. Koniec końców, Twoje samopoczucie jest jeszcze gorsze.

Błędne koło poczucia winy

Powyższa sytuacja z pewnością zdarzyła się choć raz każdej_mu z nas. Roeline Kuijer i Jessica Boyce z University of Canterbury z Nowej Zelandii przeprowadziły badanie dotyczące niezdrowych nawyków żywieniowych. Okazało się, że uczestnicy, którzy czekoladowe ciasto kojarzyli z poczuciem winy, wykazywali znacznie mniejszą wiarę w siebie, niż osoby, które konsumpcję czekoladowego ciasta traktowały jako moment celebracji. To przekładało się na codzienność uczestników badania – ci, którzy myśląc o czekoladowym cieście, czuli się winni, mieli problem z redukcją wagi i nie potrafili cieszyć się z małych zwycięstw, a także szybciej wracali do starych nawyków żywieniowych.

Choć powyższe badanie dotyczyło jedzenia i nawyków żywieniowych, proces zachodzący w przypadku tak zwanych wstydliwych przyjemności jest każdorazowo identyczny. Coś, co w teorii ma sprawić nam przyjemność, powoduje, że czujemy się winne_ni.

Czym jest guilty pleasure?

Według Sami Schalk, profesorki wykładającej na Uniwersytecie w Wisconsin w ramach Department of Gender & Women’s Studies, guilty pleasures to czynności lub wybory, które lubimy, ale których lubić nie powinnyśmy_niśmy. Dlaczego? Bo są niezgodne z kanonem społecznym i mogą wpływać na nasz wizerunek w sposób sprzeczny z naszym wyobrażeniem. Jako przykłady takich zachowań można wskazać spożywanie niezdrowego jedzenia, czytanie „śmieciowych” magazynów lub książek uznawanych za „odm��żdżające” (na przykład romansów) czy praktyki seksualne, które wciąż pozostają tematem tabu.

Schalk zwraca również uwagę na bardzo ważną rzecz, a mianowicie: kulturowy konstrukt tak zwanych wstydliwych przyjemności. Nie są one bowiem uniwersalne dla każdego, a raczej warunkowane przez konkretne grupy społeczne. Jako przykład Schalk przywołuje oglądanie finałów NBA oraz oglądanie serialu The Bachelor. Wskazuje przy tym, że w pierwszym przypadku mamy mniejsze skłonności do podważania sensu oglądania NBA czy sugerowania, że tego typu rozrywka jest „głupia” lub „bezwartościowa”. W odniesieniu do The Bachelor takie wnioski przychodzą jednak o wiele prościej.

Guilty pleasure jako pretekst

Wraz ze wzrostem popularności terminu guilty pleasure określenie to zaczęło funkcjonować jako wygodny argument czy też swoiste usprawiedliwienie pozwalające nam oddawać się przyjemnym aktywnościom bez wyrzutów sumienia. Czy rzeczywiście tak jest? Dopóki czujemy potrzebę usprawiedliwiania odpoczynku czy wykonywania czynności nieprzynoszących określonych rezultatów w postaci produktywności, dopóty nie wyrwiemy się z błędnego koła guilty pleasure.

Masz prawo do przyjemności!

Słowa „przyjemność” i „wstyd” nie powinny znajdować się obok siebie. Jeżeli czujesz się winna_y nie dlatego, że zrobiłaś_eś coś złego, ale dlatego, że zjadłaś_eś kawałek pizzy zamiast zdrowej kanapki lub wybrałaś_eś lekką lekturę zamiast czytania rozprawy naukowej, coś jest nie tak. Masz prawo do odpoczynku, do wylogowania się ze świata, do przyjemności.

Robin Nabi, profesorka wykładająca na University of California w Santa Barbara, podkreśla, że odpoczynek w postaci niewymagających intelektualnego zaangażowania oglądania serialu czy lektury książki nie tylko pozwala nam odetchnąć, ale przede wszystkim wyzwala nas z wiecznej pogoni za produktywnością i rozwiązywaniem problemów. Umożliwia „wyłączenie się”, podobnie jak medytacja czy uprawianie sportu, i pozytywnie wpływa na naszą odporność psychiczną w obliczu stresujących sytuacji.

Przyjemności – a co za tym idzie, chwile odpoczynku i relaksu – nie powinny kojarzyć się ze stratą czasu ani wymagać usprawiedliwienia. Wstydliwe przyjemności wcale nie są wstydliwe – poczucie winy towarzyszące nam w momencie, w którym postanawiamy wylogować się z produktywnego świata napędzanego przez konsumpcjonizm, to szkodliwy konstrukt społeczny. Masz prawo do przyjemności!

17.7.19

Josh and I arrived at the office bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after each managing 12+ hours of sleep! We must have needed it, and I certainly felt refreshed. Brandon will be our teacher during our stay, and he got us to set up some stuff on both Trio and Output (our two main pieces of software). We were familiar with a lot of the tasks, but it was still very helpful; this was partly because it had been so long since either of us had actually done some of the tasks, and for me it also helped me get to grips with the names of their shows and other cultural differences.

We finished our office session by prepping some graphics, and Brandon then individually took us through a ‘mini show’, where he acted as the director asking for certain things. He started out going off the running order, and then upped the difficulty by going off-script with little warning. If I do say so myself, I was nigh-on perfect at this, and when I finished Brandon said as much. Judging from his reaction, he wasn’t expecting us to have been as proficient as we were, so it felt good to impress him early (particularly as I felt the first half of the day had involved a few stumbles before shaking off the rust).

Josh and I came back to our flat briefly before deciding on ‘RocoMamas’ for dinner - it had been recommmended by more than one local, and it was very close. Every South African I’ve spoken to has waxed lyrical about their food, and I must say the bar has been set quite high already; I had ribs, accompanied by cheesy fries and chilli bombs, and it was all delicious. Josh seemed equally impressed with his burger, and when after a couple of bites I said “I’m calling it, we’re coming back here”, he immediately agreed! Even the colour scheme was to my liking - I’m seriously considering asking if I can take one of their glasses home next time we go...

Translation: Julian Brandt Interview with Sky Sport News Germany (May 12, 2020)

The video is avaliable here

Julian, Saturday Bundesliga starts again. And you will start against Schalke – the derby. How much do you look forward to?

Ju:    I’m really excited I have to say. I’m happy that everything starts again. 

I think it has been a long time, where we only had very limited training sessions. And in the end: every football player needs a goal. It’s not really fulfilling to only do training sessions. It’s a nice feeling that Bundesliga starts again. You can look forward to something again.

There has been a discussion: how fit are the players? How fit do you feel just a couple of days before the game?

Ju:    I feel good. Sure, you can’t really compare it with pre-season preparations. You do have to get used to certain things. We only were able to train in two-pair-groups. Then everything went quickly. You don’t have alot of time as a team. You have to simulate much more – or at least try 11 versus 11. And well… I was never a great fan of long pre-season preparations, so it was okay for me.

What was the experience like, when you changed from small groups to team training? Did you have to be a little more reserved or is that impossible?

Ju:    It really depends individually. There are some guys you are a little more reserved when it comes to one-on-one situations. Everbody reacts differently. It was okay for me. I never really had a problem. It was nice actually to have situations where it was a bit more rough. Sure everybody was keeping the distance over the past weeks. Everybody tried their best to avoid contact. In the end, football is a contact-sport and I think everbody was happy playing normal football again.

Now many players used the break to look for new talents among themselves. So was Julian Brandt killing his time with, while no training was possible?

Ju:    Well… sure there have been one or two days, where I thought my blanked fell on my head. I guess that’s normal. Sure you try to use your time… well I played alot of playstation. Like others probably as well. Because we had some really nice days and like I already said in the BVB podcast – I brought myself a new grill, shortly before everything was shut down. That was really, really important… I’m still very happy about it. I didn’t have one before. It also took away alot of my boredom. And then you this and that… but I havent’t learned a new language or instrument, yet (smiles). That was not the case with me.

So what does Julian Brandt you put on his grill?

Ju:    Certainly no eggplants! (smiles) We actually made some burgers most of the time. That was cool. I think I was at the grill every day, but I tried… to clear my head in terms of cooking (laughs)… It was actually funny: because one day the club had to weigh us, and surprisingly I didn’t lose weight nor did I gained weight. I was really surprised.

A small tip from my side: I always have an extra burner at home. Because nothing is more annoying putting the meat on the grill and then…

Ju:    Yeah… then the gas is empty (smiles)…

You mentioned playing playstation. How often did you play with your buddy Kai Havertz? And who of you has the upper hand?

Ju:    Actually we can’t really determine that. Kai and myself play together often. We aren’t really FIFA players. I for myself don’t play FIFA at all, Kai just a bit. We both play Fortnite, Call of Duty – these shooter games. We play in a team almost everytime, so we win together and lose together (smiles)… and most of the time we lose together, because even our playstation abilities reach a ceiling… our talents are somewhere else…

Well, with the 13, 14, 15 year olds who play it all night long…

Ju:    They are insane! It doesn’t even get better when I add my little brother, who is an avid player. We are just not good enough. (smiles) Thats something we have to admit to ourselves. 

Now Borussia Dortmund signed Philipp Laux as a new mental coach for the team. Did you talked to him and how does such a conversation go?

Ju:    It’s funny, because we actually sat together for an hour, yesterday. Not because for psychological reasons, but just to get to know each other. We just talked about everything. How the situation is. How those games without fans will be like. I already witnessed that in Paris. It was just a normal talk, no special topics. It was just to know the other person. He also talked about how he sees certain situations. How he thinks he want’s approach the team. He won’t stand in front of the team and hold great speeches. He just observes everything, which is normal if you are new.

But great guy? First impressions?

Ju:    Yeah, definitely. You can have a good chat with him. Even a normal conversation. I mean sure: he’s a sport psychologist many people think ‚Woah, he probably will „read me“ when I talk to him‘… but no, he’s a very relaxed guy. You can have a good chat with him.

You mentioned Paris. Dortmund was kicked out of the Champions League that night. But you do have some experience when it comes to games without fans. Schalke not in the same way – possibily. Could this be an advantage for Saturday?

Ju:    Yeah, sure. It’s is….  not something entirely new for you, when you have already had this experience before. The guys know how it will feel like…. it’s gonna be very, very silent. There were even fans and fireworks from fans in front of the stadium in Paris. PSG even had speakers on, so you were able to hear everything – but it went silent once the game started. Yet, we won’t have such an atmosphere. So yeah, it’s something new… you can perhaps get some advantages from it, but in the end: I think… even when you look at the Bundesliga standings… everything will start from zero on Saturday. There won’t be any home or away-games in the classical sense anymore. There isn’t a advantage or disadvantage anymore. So yeah, its in some way basically going back to the basics. Like the way when we started football as kids. I think there will be 200 or 300 people – I’m not sure…. but it’s a bit „back to the roots“.

Could this perhaps be a game-changer in terms of winning the Bundesliga? Bayern Munich has a 4-point advantage. But they still have to play in Dortmund, in Leverkusen and they play against Gladbach. They really have a heavy task in front of them. Could this be the small advantage into your favour?

Ju:    Woah… I don’t know. To be honest: I can’t say how the next weeks will be. I think many things are possible. In many aspects. In the end I think it will depend on which team deals with the current situation the best. A lot happens in your head as well. I mean, you can’t really let your feels rule you now. Fans cheering you on, for example. You know: there is a certain excitement the days before, when Dortmund players against Bayern….

But is there actually a slight chance to creat some sort of „derby atmosphere“? I mean, sure the fans will be missed. But isn’t there a derby fever that rises before the game on Saturday?

Ju:    Yeah, you do feel that Saturdays game will be special. Of course because of both reasons. Because it’s the derby, but also because it will be a game which has never happend under such circumstances. Like I said, because we already played in Paris, we know the situation, yet it’s also something new. The Paris game was eight weeks ago. But the „real derby feeling“ are the fans of course. They are living it and experience it. Suddently your neighbors talk about this game, they don’t even mention the other teams name – you get a certain feeling. Okay, we are in a hotel now. We don’t really feel alot and it’s not the same of course. It would have been nice to have a full stadium. But you still try to win the game, sure!

Rugby World Cup – Spotlight of South Africa Rugby World Cup Tickets and History

We close our commencement to the Rugby World Cup 2023 Draw on Monday with reigning champs South Africa the last country under the spotlight for their Rugby World Cup story. Rugby fans can book South Africa Rugby World Cup Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

South Africa is one of just two groups, close by New Zealand, to have won Rugby World Cup in three events. The Springboks missed the initial two competitions because of their rejection from the worldwide game, yet have more than compensated for it since. As hosts in 1995, they joined the country with a triumph against the All Blacks.

Afterward proceeded to lift the Webb Ellis Cup once more, in 2007 and 2019, with England the beaten group on the two events.

RWC debut: 25 May 1995 v Australia at Newlands, Cape Town

RWC appearances: Played 43 – Won 36 Drawn 0 Lost 7 – Points for 1,512 Points against 552 – Win proportion 84 percent

Most RWC appearances: Schalk Burger, 20

Most RWC attempts: Bryana Habana, 15

Best completion: Champions 1995, 2007, 2019

Capability for RWC 2023: RWC 2019 bosses

Most paramount match: For sheer dramatization, 1995 last against New Zealand obscures both of the Springboks' finals against England. With the scores bolted at 9-9 at full-time and 12-12 in extra-time, the fate of the Webb Ellis Cup was as yet unsure.

Joel Stransky got the ball from Joost van der Westhuizen and drop kicked himself and the Springboks into history. Rugby fans can book Rugby World Cup Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

Notorious second: While seeing Nelson Mandela introducing the Webb Ellis Cup to Francois Pienaar in the Springbok chief's number six shirt in 1995 will perpetually stay the notable picture of Rugby World Cup, Siya Kolisi driving the Springboks to triumph in 2019 as the group's first dark commander is straight up there, as well.

Depressed spot: Ten spots and a little more than 13 focuses isolated the sides in the World Rugby Men's Rankings when South Africa and Japan met on day two of RWC 2015. Japan had not dominated an RWC game since 1991, while South Africa were title holders in both 1995 and 2007. No one gave the Brave Blossoms a supplication. Be that as it may, the formbook vacated the premises as the Springboks surrendered to the greatest stun in the competition's set of experiences, losing 34-32 to a late attempt from Karne Hesketh.

Notable player: Chester Williams. Presently unfortunately perished, Williams turned out to be just the third non-white player to play for the Springboks in 1993. After two years, he was the hesitant banner kid of Rugby World Cup 1995. Injury postponed his inclusion at RWC 1995 until the quarter-finals yet he established a moment connection with four attempts against Samoa and afterward proceeded to assume an urgent part in the semi-last and last.

Record-breaker: Anyone who imparts a record to Jonah Lomu should be acceptable, awesome, and Bryan Habana unquestionably falls into that class. The lightning-snappy winger equaled Lomu's record of most competition attempts when he his cap stunt in a 64-0 win against the USA at RWC 2015 to take his general count to 15.

Did you know? Jannie de Beer'srest hand' of drop objectives against England in the 1999 quarter-finals is a record for a solitary Rugby World Cup coordinate. Quote: “I dropped down to my knees just to say a quick prayer and before I realized it, everybody was around me. All the tension of the six weeks, everything that led to the final just came to the fore, it was very, very emotional. I was incredibly proud of the team, proud of that moment, and very much proud to be a Springbok rugby player.” – Francois Pienaar after the Springboks won the RWC 1995 final.

Impfung ab 2021 - Neues von unserem "unter Quarantäne" stehenden Bankkaufmann (Gesundheitsminister)... er erwartet die "Spritze" im Frühjahr! Und damit ein Ende der Drangsalierungen durch den Staat!? Wenn alles zusammenbricht, wird dieser seine neue Macht bestimmt nicht hergeben!? Wird uns bis zur Revolution den Mundschutz aufzwingen?

Bezeichnungen bleiben - Die EU hat die "Verwirrung" abgelehnt! Man darf einen fleischlosen Burger und eine vegane "Salami" weiterhin /Burger/Wurst nennen!? Verwirrend dass das EU-Parlament darüber abgestimmt hat!? Normal hat doch nur die Kommission die Macht? Haben die Hersteller Druck ausgeübt?

Dortmund bleibt dran - Ein Derby Sieg gegen den Erzfeind Schalke 04 (Gelsenkirchen) .. ein sattes 3:0! Der Trainer hatte mit dem System Viererkette Erfolg!
