HP Mostar / Dan sporta 2020. - Judo - Day of Sport 2020.

Veliki je doprinos sporta u promicanju poštivanja i tolerancije, posebno među mladim ljudima. Opća skupština Ujedinjenih naroda proglasila je 6. travnja Međunarodnim danom sporta za razvoj i mir. Popularnost i pozitivne vrijednosti koje se promoviraju potvrđuju ulogu važnost sporta u napretku društva s velikim utjecajem na razvoj ljudskih prava, društvenog i gospodarskog napretka.

Judo je borilački sport za žene i muškarce, a utemeljio ga je 1882. godine u Japanu Jigoro Kano kao suvremeni nastavak starojapanske borilačke vještine. Natjecatelji su svrstani u težinske kategorije, nastupaju odjeveni u kimono ili judogi, bosonogi i opasani pojasom čija boja označava pripadnost određenoj vrsnoj skupini. Cilj borbe, koja se odvija na strunjači četvrtasta oblika, je da se protivnik baci na leđa ili bok uz primjenu dopuštenih zahvata.

Dobrobiti juda prepoznata je u sferi razvoja djece i mladih te se ovaj sport u nekim zemljama uvodi u programe obrazovanja. Omogućuje pravilan psihofizički razvoj zbog utjecaja na čitav niz osobina i sposobnosti. Posebnost juda je i u tome što se njime mogu baviti svi - djevojčice i dječaci, starije osobe, vrhunski sportaši i rekreativci neovisno o sposobnostima i tjelesnoj konstituciji.

Sport greatly contributes to the promotion of respect and tolerance, especially among young people. The United Nations General Assembly declared 06 April as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. Its popularity and the positive values it promotes, confirm the importance of sport in society’s progress, with great impact the development of human rights, and the social and economic progress.

Judo is a martial art form for women and men, founded in 1882 in Japan by Jigoro Kano, as a modern extension of an ancient Japanese martial art. Competitors are classified into weight categories, compete dressed in a kimono or judogi, barefoot and carrying a belt in the colour which indicates affiliation to a particular group. The aim of the fight, which is carried out on a square-shaped mat, is to throw the opponent on his back or his side, while using approved interventions.

The benefits of judo have been recognised in the field of child and youth development, which is why this sport has been introduced into the school program in some countries. It enables proper psychophysical development due to its influence on a whole range of traits and abilities. Judo is special because anyone can do it – girls and boys, older people, top athletes and amateur athletes, independent of their abilities and physical constitution.

HP Mostar - EUROPA 2020. Drevne poštanske rute / EUROPA 2020. Ancient postal routes

Izdanje poštanske marke „Europa 2020.“ izdaje se pod okriljem PostEuropa i svake godine jedna je zajednička tema za sve članice - za 2020. godinu tema je „Drevne poštanske rute“. Rimske legije su bile vezane s Rimom cestama kojima se odvijala prva pošta. Rimsku glasničku službu, u početku zvanu vehiculatio kasnije cursus publicus, osnovao je car August između 27. i 20. godine prije Krsta. U početku je bila ograničena na civilne i vojne državne službenike. Na glavnim smjerovima cesta nalazile su se obične stanice (mansiones) u kojima su putnici mogli prenoćiti i stanice u kojima su se mogli mijenjati konji ili druga zaprežna stoka (mutationes). Za cara Septimija Severa (193. - 211.) cursus publicus podijeljen je u dva dijela: brzi (cursus velox), koji je imao osedlane konje, tegleće konje, mazge i mule, te više vrsta kola - dvokolice ili četverokolice i spori (cursus claburalis), koji se služio teškim kolima koja su mogla prevoziti i do 500 kg tereta.

Kao motivi na markama izabrana su kola te srebrni denar rimskog konzula L. Saufeiusa (152. godina prije Krista). Kovanica na reversu prikazuje Viktoriju koja vozi bigu, a na aversu glavu božice Rome. Novčić se nalazi u Franjevačkom Muzeju Samostana sv. Ante na Humcu, na području kojim je još od prvoga stoljeća prolazila vrlo značajna vojna cesta Salona (Solin) - Bigeste (Ljubuški) - Narona (Vid).

The postage stamp “Europe 2020" is published under the auspices of PostEurope and has one common theme for all members every year - for 2020 the theme is "Ancient Postal Routes". Roman legions were linked to Rome by roads on which the first postal service was carried out. The Roman Messenger Service, initially called vehiculatio later cursus publicus, was founded by Emperor Augustus between 27 and 20 BC. It was initially limited to civilian and military civil servants. Ordinary stations (mansiones) were situated at the main road directions, where passengers could spend the night, as well as stations where horses or other cattle (mutationes) could be substituted. During Emperor Septimius Severus (192 - 211) the cursus publicus was divided into two parts: the fast (cursus velox), which had saddled horses, draft horses, mules and hinnies, and several types of carriages - two or four-wheelers, and the slow (cursus claburalis), which used heavy wagons which could transport up to 500 kg of cargo.

 

A wagon and a silver coin of the Roman consul L. Saufeius (152 BC) were chosen as motives on the stamps. On the reverse the coin shows Victoria driving a biga, and on the obverse the head of goddess Roma. The coin is located in the Franciscan museum of the Monastery of Saint Anthony in Humac, an area through which the very significant military road Salona (Solin) – Bigeste (Ljubuški) – Narona (Vid) has passed since the first century.
