19 year old Slovenian Toma Humar is on an epic cycling ride
around the world and he dropped into the Slovenian Consulate
in Adelaide on December 10, 2015.
Toma completed high school in Slovenia in June 2015 and
began his ride on August 2, 2015. So far he has completed
cycling legs of western Europe, United States, New Zealand,
and has cycled through Qld, NSW, ACT, Vic. From Adelaide
he cycles to Perth and from there flies across to Singapore
working his way up through Asia and back through eastern
Europe before finishing in Slovenia.
Toma is cycling around the world completely solo, with no
support crew with him. He sets himself a daily task of cycling
8
140 kilometres and his meals largely consist of bread, cheese

and nutella. So far into his journey he has replaced the front
wheel of his bike once and his rear wheel twice.
The Australian leg of his ride is challenging because as the
country enters summer some days are over 40 degrees Celsius
on the open road.

Slovenias famous Potica - recipe

Trojane doughnuts are the probably the most popular
doughnuts made in Slovenia.
Trojane, situated by the tajerska Highway, make the most
doughnuts for the carnival period, i.e. around 100,000, however
they sell vast numbers of doughnuts all year round as well.
They have been making doughnuts for half a century and have
made around 100 million doughnuts so far.
The secret to their success lies in the recipe of Rajka Konjek,
the former owner of the inn Pri Konjku na Trojanah, who was
making doughnuts there in 1961. Guests were thrilled about the
doughnuts back then but she probably never imagined that her
doughnuts would become so famous.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons (7g/1 sachet) dried yeast
185ml (3/4 cup) milk, warmed
60g (1/3 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
400g (2 2/3 cups) plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
170g unsalted butter, chopped, at room temperature
3 egg yolks
60ml (1/4 cup) dark rum
285g (23/4 cups) walnut halves
80g (1/2 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar, extra
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
125ml (1/2 cup) milk
1 egg white, lightly whisked
Trojane Doughnuts are of the highest quality, always fresh and
attentively prepared. Their doughnut has received the golden
emblem from the Slovenian quality awards.
Method
Step 1 - Combine yeast, 60ml (1/4 cup) of the milk and 1
teaspoon of sugar in a bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes or until
frothy.
Recipe for Trojane Doughnuts (Taste Slovenia, Janez

Bogataj)
Step 2 - Combine flour, salt and remaining sugar in a bowl.

Rub in 120g of the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Pour
in yeast mixture, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon rum and remaining
milk. Use an electric mixer with a dough hook to knead for 5

minutes or until smooth. Cover. Prove for 1 1/2 hours or until

doubled in size.
4. Za rezanje uporabimo im bolj oster no, saj tako

pokodujemo manj celic in se posledino sprosti manj encimov.
Step 3 - Meanwhile, process walnuts in a food processor until

finely chopped. Add extra sugar, honey, cinnamon and
remaining butter and rum. Process until combined. Bring milk
to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Add walnut
mixture. Stir for 10 minutes or until thick. Cool. Stir in egg
white.
5. Desko za rezanje zmoimo s kisom, saj ta denaturira encim.

Step 4 - Turn dough out onto a work surface and use a floured
rolling pin to roll it out to a 45cm x 35cm rectangle. Spread
over walnut mixture. Starting from 1 long side, roll up to
enclose filling. Coil into a greased 22cm kugelhopf pan, seamside in. Cover. Set aside to prove for 1 hour or until the dough
reaches the top of the pan.

Prehranjevanje s klobasami, unko in drugim predelanim
mesom, verjetno pa tudi rdee meso, povzroa raka na debelem
revesu. To so svee objavljene ugotovitve Mednarodne
agencije za raziskave raka, ki deluje pod okriljem Svetovne
zdravstvene organizacije.
Step 5 - Preheat oven to 180C. Bake for 35 minutes or until

cake sounds hollow when tapped. Cool for 5 minutes. Transfer
to a cooling rack.
Prehranjevanje s klobasami, unko in drugim predelanim

mesom, verjetno pa tudi rdee meso, povzroa raka na debelem
revesu, je danes objavila Mednarodna agencija za raziskave
raka (IARC), ena od vej Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije
(WHO). O teh ugotovitvah smo poroali e v petek, ko so se
britanski mediji razpisali, da se obeta prava mala vojna mesu in
mesnim izdelkom.
Nikoli ve ne boste jokali ...

ebula je nepogreljiva pri pripravi marsikatere jedi, a teava
se pojavi, ko jo je treba narezati. Ni je namre gospodinje, ki ji
ne bi med rezanjem ebule pritekle solze po licu. Na sreo pa
obstaja nekaj trikov, s pomojo katerih bo to neprijetno
opravilo minilo brez draeih oi.
Vsak, ki je e kdaj rezal ebulo, ve, kako zelo neprijeten je

obutek, ko zapeejo oi in po licu spolzijo solze. Do tega pride
zato, ker imajo ebulne celice dva oddelka; v enem se nahajajo
sulfidi, v drugem pa encimi allinaze, in ko zareemo v ebulo,
se celice pokodujejo ter se sulfidi in encimi pomeajo.
Nastanejo sulfenske kisline, ki se razkrajajo v hlapljiv plin
(syn-ropanethial-S-oksid), ta pa drai nae oi. Da to
prepreimo ali vsaj omilimo, lahko poskusimo z naslednjimi
triki:
Med predelano meso med drugim spadajo hrenovke, klobase in

konzervirano meso, naini predelave pa vkljuujejo soljenje,
prekajevanje, fermentacijo ali dimljenje.
1. Preden se odloimo narezati ebulo, jo za 15 minut

postavimo v hladilnik, saj nije temperature zmanjajo tevilo
encimov.
2. ebulo damo v posodo z vodo in jo ele nato nareemo.
Voda namre vsrka draei plin.
Kot so pojasnili v agenciji, je za posameznika, ki uiva

predelano meso, tveganje, da zboli za rakom, statistino
majhno, a naraa s koliino zauitega tovrstnega mesa. "Vsaka
50-gramska porcija predelanega mesa, ki se jo poje dnevno, za
18 odstotkov poveuje tveganje za kolorektalni rak," so
poudarili v agenciji.
3. Prigemo sveo ter jo postavimo poleg deske, na kateri bomo

rezali ebulo. Snovi, ki bodo med rezanjem izpuhtele, bo
posrkal plamen.
Poroilo je pripravilo 22 strokovnjakov iz 10 drav. V njem so

razkrili mone dokaze, ki podpirajo trditve o karcinogenih
uinkih uivanja rdeega mesa, predvsem ko gre za raka
IARC je svarilo utemeljila na pregledu ve kot 800 tudij, ki so

raziskovale povezave med prehranjevanjem z mesom in rakom.
"Sprio velikega tevila ljudi, ki uivajo predelano meso, ima
njegov globalen vpliv na pojavnost raka pomen za javno
zdravje," je poudaril predstavnik IARC Kurt Straif.

earlier than usual. All shops are closed on the 25th and again
this is a family day, often for some recreational activities
perhaps skiing, hiking or visiting relatives. The 26th is also a
public holiday, Independence and Unity Day and therefore
again many shops and business will be closed although these
days most of the larger ones are open, at least for a few hours in
the morning.
There are Christmas markets taking place in all the major cities,
the largest being in Ljubljana, where there are numerous
markets. The main market is held alongside the banks of the
Ljubljanica river, but there are also other markets spread across
the citys squares, with a vast range of events and entertainment
taking place from now until the New Year. More information
here
https://www.visitljubljana.com/en/activities/entertainment/77402/detail.html
Za posameznika, ki uiva predelano meso, tveganje, da zboli za

rakom, statistino majhno, a naraa s koliino zauitega
tovrstnega mesa, opozarjajo strokovnjaki.
Med rdee meso se tejejo govedina, teletina, svinjina,
jagnjetina, ovetina, kozje in konjsko meso.
Ko gre za predelano meso, pa po navedbah IARC obstaja
dovolj dokazov, da njegovo uivanje povzroa kolorektalni rak.
Agencija je predelano meso uvrstila v isto kategorijo
povzroiteljev raka, v kateri so tudi tobani dim in azbest, je pa
hkrati poudarila, da to ne pomeni, da je enako nevarno.
Strokovnjaki v tudiji pa niso ugotovili, ali kuhanje mesa vpliva
na tveganje za raka.
V poroilu je sicer IARC e poudarila, da bi morale ugotovitve
strokovnjakov vladam in regulatorjem pomagati najti
ravnovesje med tveganji in koristmi uivanja rdeega mesa, ki
je pomemben del lovekove prehrane.

Christmas in Slovenia; Markets,

Food, Traditions and more!
Slovenia hasnt been celebrating Christmas for that long, well
not in the form we know it in the Western world, however, the
country has certainly caught up with, and caught onto, the
festive spirit and now there are Christmas-related events
happening throughout the land.
Maribor Christmas Market (photo MP produkcija)

In Celje, Fairytale Celje (Pravljino Celje), including a
Christmas market, runs from 29th Nov 31st Dec
http://www.dezela-celjska.si/en/node/72073
So, how is Christmas celebrated in Slovenia? What is/isnt

open? What is there to do, where to go?
As in many other countries in Europe, the evening of the 24th
is when most families celebrate and get together for a special
meal, exchange gifts and/or attend midnight mass. If you are
visiting Slovenia at that time it is worth noting that many
restaurants may be closed on this evening or close earlier than
usual. Shops are usually open on the 24th but close a little

formed, Radovljica where I live http://www.radolca.si/en/what-todo/events-1/festive-december-in-linhart-square/83/110/

If you are looking for a festive event with a difference, every

year, weather conditions permitting, there is a live ice nativity
play held in the Mlaa Gorge in the village of Mojstrana. With
the freezing temperatures we have had of late, this years event
looks sure to be going ahead and the performances are
scheduled to begin on Christmas Day. The entrance fee also
includes a walk through the ice kingdom, a gallery of nativity
scenes and the nativity performance held in the frozen
waterfall. Be sure to wrap up warmly! More information can be
found here http://lednoplezanje.com/zive-jaslice-v-ledu/

TO all the people in the Northern Hemisphere, forget about

your freezing cold Christmases.
Here in Australia, we celebrate Christmas in a much more fun
way. Here are the ways you know Santa is here.

Turning to food, no Slovene home is complete over the festive
season without potica a traditional rolled and filled cake. You
will find it everywhere; in cafes, supermarkets, and in almost
every Slovenes home. Potica come in many varieties, the most
popular varieties are filled with walnut or poppy seeds, but
there are also other fillings including tarragon or coconut, and
special editions with dual fillings, such as the one below
named potica of our roots prepared by one of Slovenias top
chefs, Uro tefelin, from Vila Podvin.
Getting into the spirit.

Pipistrel's pioneering Taurus Electro is seen as a breath of fresh

air in a sector responsible for 13 per cent of CO2 emissions
from all transport sources.
Launched in 2007, around 20 orders are now put in every year
for the two-seater plane, which is produced in a factory in the
town of Ajdovina, close to the Italian border.
The 110,000-euro (HK$935,973) price tag is offset by the
plane's inexpensive maintenance: at 70 cents an hour, the
Taurus is 10 times cheaper to run than traditional twin-seater
planes, according to Pipistrel.
By comparison, Chinas two-seat RX1E aircraft, which has just
been approved for production by civil aviation authorities, costs
about 1 million yuan (HK$1.2 million).

Catching a wave.
Ultra-light, fast and cheap: Move

aside China, a small Slovenian
company wants to sell the world's
first electric four-seater plane
The Chinese government sees strong market potential for the

two-seat RX1E plane due to its environmental friendliness. But
at 1 million yuan its not cheap. Photo: SCMP Pictures.
More than a century after the Wright brothers flew the world's
first powered aircraft, developers are in a race for the first
commercially-viable electric planes.
The large-winged aircraft can thrust itself to an altitude of

2,000 metres, after which the engine is retracted and the Taurus
glides across the sky as a sailplane.
For the Slovenian model, simplicity is key: you charge the

battery, hop inside the cockpit and hit the on button to
activate the fuselage's propeller.
You have just two buttons, up and down and full power, but
you can always switch off immediately when you need to slow
down the aircraft, explained pilot Nejc Faganelj, soaring high
above the Slovenian countryside on a sunny winter's day.
But behind the deceptively easy usage lies a highly complex
design. The most crucial element - and biggest challenge - is
the lithium battery, which needs to be light yet sturdy so that it
doesn't catch fire if it overheats.
To copy a design from the car industry is not that difficult. But
to make something that is lighter, more efficient - that is
definitely something that has not been done before, said
Pipistrel engineer Jure Tomaciz.
The Taurus Electro is available to customers worldwide. Photo:

As China gives the green light to the production of its first
electric aircraft for commercial use, a small Slovenian company
also hopes to revolutionise the aviation industry with its awardwinning electric planes.

I don't think we'll see an entirely electric plane for another 50

years, said Philippe Petitcolin whose Safran company supplies
engines to Airbus planes.
Nevertheless, in 20 or 30 years, we may be able to fly regional
commuter jets with around 60 people onboard thanks to hybrid
electric propulsion, according to Airbus Group boss Tom
Enders.
The corporate giant currently explores this vein with its E-Fan,
a twin-seater plane powered by two 30-kilowatt electric motors.
The ultra-light aircraft aims to offer aero clubs an alternative to
traditional planes, both noisier and more polluting.
But, there's still a lot of room for improvement: the E-Fan
currently only has a one-hour flight range.
The Taurus Electro, which Pipistrel says is 10 times cheaper to

run than traditional twin-seater planes, has a state-of-the-art
battery system. Photo: Pipistrel.
Last summer it however managed to cross the English Channel,

106 years after Frenchman Louis Bleriot became the first
person to make the journey in a heavier-than-air plane.
Now Pipistrel has even loftier ambitions: to sell the world's first
electric four-seater plane.
The E-Fan's exploit shows what can be possible with a future

aviation based on more electric technologies, according to
Airbus.
Its Taurus G4 prototype - built by combining two twin-seaters won Nasas prestigious Green Flight award in 2011, worth
$1.35 million.

The plane covered 650 kilometres in the space of two hours

with an average speed of 172 km/h.
Planica Nordic Centre officially

launched
The car industry, with all the money it has at its disposal, and
practically no weight limitation, even today isn't capable of
producing an electric car that would take four passengers for
600 kilometres at a speed of 200 kilometres per hour,
Pipistrel's founder, Ivo Boscarol said
Planica, 11 December - The Planica Nordic Centre

opened in the Alpine valley of Planica (NW) on Friday,
bringing new shine to the legendary sports venue
following lengthy construction and renovation works that
started eight years ago.
We did that with our electric plane, he added proudly.

The son of a machine engineer turned test pilot, Boscarol has
spent the last three decades developing and perfecting his lowcarbon invention.
When he built his first aircraft in the 1980s, he had to test-fly
them in secret and only after dark -- at the time piloting private
planes was prohibited in Slovenia, then part of the former
communist Yugoslavia.
The night flights, along with the aero-dynamic shape of the
plane wings, inspired Boscarol to name his company after the
pipistrelle bat.
Today, the Slovenian firm is a global market leader in the field
of energy-efficient aviation travel, with Boscarol featuring on
the 2015 list of news outlet Politico's most influential
Europeans.
I'm sure the electric flight will become a standard. This
aircraft will be able to cross the Atlantic, to fly faster, to carry
more persons, he said confidently.
The complex featuring a ski-flying hill, seven skijumping hills and 40 kilometres of cross-country skiing
tracks in the Alpine valley of Tamar (NW) cost around
EUR 40m.
However, large aircraft companies remain cautious, saying

there's still a long way to go before the technology can be used
for heavy passenger planes.
The centre was launched in a ceremony addressed by

Education, Science and Sport Minister Maja Makovec
Breni, Prime Minister Miro Cerar and head of the
Planica Sports Association Jelko Gros.
18
"Planica is a symbol of courage, natural beauty and

heritage of world renown. This is the place where people
saw first flights over 100 and 200 metres and 42 world
records," Cerar said at the opening ceremony.
The first ski jump over 100 metres was achieved there in
1936 by the Austrian Sepp Bradl, and many world records
in ski-jumping and flying have been broken there since.
Obituary Osmrtnica
The prime minister noted that the new centre was also
about preserving the cultural and technical heritage and
providing the region of Gorenjsko with important
infrastructure.
The Slovenian Club, on behalf of the Slovenian community of

South Australia, wishes to express its sincere condolences to
the family and friends of:
Branko PETRI
14/11/1924 - 29/10/2015
Aged 90 years.

Aiden, Thomas and Liam.
A loving caring person who gave so much to his family. His
love, guidance, support and wisdom will be an endless source
of inspiration for the rest of our days.
The funeral was held in its entirety in the Acacia Chapel,
Enfield Memorial Park, Browning Street, Clearview on
Wednesday, November 4, with a Service commencing at 12. 30
p.m.
"Planica is a national symbol of Slovenia, and the Nordic

centre has restored Planica to its former glory," added
Minister Makovec Breni, noting that the modern centre
was fully a product of Slovenian know-how.
Helma Ingrid PENIK

The funeral service for Helma was held in the Mawson Chapel,
Centennial Park, Goodwood Road, Pasadena on Thursday,
November 5, 2015.
The ceremony also featured retired ski jumper Franci

Petek bringing a Slovenian flag down the zip line
installed over the ski flying hill and handing it to crosscountry skiing legend Petra Majdi.
