Are we all related?

This video presents a theory that all people who live today have an identical part of DNA what would imply that we are all distantly related. The speaker mentioned the DNA tests that show how much of what races’ genes does one have in their DNA and kind of encouraged people to take them. While I find these discoveries very interesting and potentially useful in future research that might lead to revolutionary achievements of science and medicine, I doubt that learning this about myself would change anything in my life. To me, it rather seems to be an expensive entertainment than a thing one must know about themselves.

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.

Obraz
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

Taste the World Festival

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
