This video shows how differently things, information or ideas can be used or interpreted, what can often lead to them being used not in the way the person who created them would want. The speaker pointed and briefly explained the most important views of Karl Marx, considering both the fact that they were a base to some communist systems, in which terrible things have happened, as well as the possibilities of using his ideas to ‘fix the society of the 21st century’, in which some opposite systems or ideologies took over.

    Poor Marx, whose ideas have been twisted, distorted and ridiculed for as long as I remember. A brilliant man of his times, he doesn't deserve that.

Would you like to work in the Madarin Oriental?

I would not like to work in this hotel because I do not think that I could find common ground with people who come there. They come from a very eccentric entourage with a specific hierarchy of priorities. In my opinion most of guests place money in the foreground and believe that if you are rich you can get almost everything. My attitude is actually an opposite - I claim that there is plenty of things that are more valuable. The Mandarin Oriental is not a place for me because I do not think that I could get on well with its guests.

Ginger's been known in many cultures for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can significantly improve immunity. Used in alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, for example it can prevent motion sickness or morning sickness during pregnancy. Ginger also enhances nutrient absorption. It can reduce various types of muscle pain, e.g. muscle soreness and is also said to significantly relieve menstrual cramps. Due to a high volatile acids (antibacterial and antiviral) content, it strengthens the body's defence mechanisms. Personally, I use ginger most often when I'm sick, as it helps fight infections. Next to the volatile acids, it contains a lot of vitamin C and minerals. The easiest way to use it (especially when you're sick and do not have energy to do anything more advanced) is making ginger infused water - some people call it 'ginger tea'.. However, to extract as much as possible from the root, eat it with a high-protein meal. https://www.livestrong.c

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00082dp The podcast is a relation from a culinary event where music and dance play an important role. It shows an amazing relation between food and culture if various ethnic groups from different parts of the world. In today's world, in the era of globalization, we can try different countries' cuisine without travelling further than to the city centre. It is an amazing opportunity to broaden one's cultural horizons and eat some delicious and extraordinary foods. However, I think it would be a huge loss for us if we gave up all the historical and sometimes even philosophical aspects of ethnic food. Originally, the process of preparing a dish might have been long and complexed and many 'oriental' restaurants, omnipresent in the streets of most western cities, just deprive their meals of the initial meaning and just play with foreign spices. Obviously, it does not mean that all the things we eat have to be authentic and have a spirit
