#VantageOnFirstpost Sweat-infused Onigiri in Japan: Would you Eat it? | Vantage with Palki Sharma Onigiri or rice balls is a Japanese delicacy that is typically formed into a triangle shape using the palm of one’s hand. But the country has taken it one step further. It is selling onigiri - made from the sweat of “cute girls.” Because of the unique way it is handled, the onigiri is sold for a premium. While one ball usually costs around 100 yen, this one is around ten times more. Some studies suggest armpit sweat contains pheromones that can influence emotions positively but the practice is sparking heated online debates. But it isn't the only delicacy using such bizarre ingredients. Palki Sharma brings you more. --- Onigiri | Japan | Human Sweat | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #japan #onigiri #sweat #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews

Have you tried tumpeng before? 🍚⛰️ 1. Tumpeng is a traditional Indonesian rice dish, often eaten in religious ceremonies, cultural observances, and ‘slametan’ - communal feasts held in Javanese culture to celebrate/commemorate births, weddings, and other new beginnings. 2. The rice is steamed, sometimes with coconut or turmeric, molded into a cone, and served on a large bamboo platter lined with banana leaves, surrounded by an assortment of dishes such as chicken, catfish, salads, and crisps. 3. Some believe that tumpeng derived its conical shape from kukusan - cone-shaped bamboo baskets in which the rice is steamed. Interestingly, #India has no tradition of rice cones, making tumpeng a dish that is uniquely Javanese (as opposed to practices in Java such as gamelan music, wayang kulit, or topeng dances that are Hindu-Buddhist in origin). 4. Because tumpeng were likely popularised when literacy rates on Java were low, they were used as a means of passing down moral lessons. As a result, each ingredient in tumpeng is rich with symbolism and philosophical significance. 5. The pointed cone of rice alludes to Java’s mountainous landscape, and symbolises devotion towards God. Ayam ingkung - a popular dish where whole chickens are presented with their heads facing up - signify a pursuit of holiness. Catfish spend their lives underwater and are therefore symbolic of humility. 6. Rempeyek teri - deep-fried crisps with tiny dried anchovies - depict harmony. The whites of boiled eggs symbolise virtue while egg yolks symbolise the light of God. Urap-urap - a salad of bean sprouts, long beans, and grated coconut - symbolise friendship and cooperation. 7. Collectively, the tumpeng is a symbol of gratitude, prosperity, and harmony, and the practice of serving tumpeng is deeply rooted in Indonesian culture. 8. Last month, Withersworldwide and Karna Partnership celebrated the launch of our association in #Indonesia with a tumpengan ceremony where, in true Indonesian fashion, Karna Partnership’s Managing Partner Rizki Dwianda, Singapore Deputy Chief of Mission Terrence Teo and I removed the top of the tumpeng and presented it to our guest of honour, Indonesian minister for Youth and Sports, Dito Ariotedjo. Writing this post has given me a serious craving and, while I am not likely able to finish an entire tumpeng by myself this weekend, think a nasi kuning might make a nice Sunday lunch! What are you having for lunch this weekend? Photo of last month’s tumpengan ceremony, copyright of Karna Partnership

I taught our kitchen team to practice Baduanjin Qigong today because it good for people who are working in a high pressure and standing for long time places, especially chefs. Baduanjin Qigong is a simple qigong exercise with a set of eight individual movements. It based on several Chinese teachings. These include Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and – as they would say in China – the knowledge of the sages. Baduanjin is a powerful qigong complex that, if practiced regularly, will help you develop inner strength and good health. Baduanjin consists of eight bundles of movements (hereafter referred to as steps), they are relatively simple and can be practiced anywhere and at any time. In addition, they are easy to memorize, easy to learn, and easy to practice. The method of training is flexible – the movements can be fast or slow, so there are no age restrictions for classes. The complex is also available to physically impaired people, it is of great benefit and provides significant positive health. #chefslife #Chinesegongfu #Michelinguide

💡 Be there for your people. Understand highs and lows, support them, and help them through tough times! Anxiety affects results, and you, as a manager, must set clear expectations and a reasonable workload. Also, people need to feel secure at work. But be aware that people don't need micromanaging- they need your understanding and support! Ole olemas oma inimestele! Saa aru millal on neil head ajad ja millal nad vajavad tuge. Toeta neid rasketel aegadel! Ärevus mõjutab tulemusi ja sina juhina pead määrama selged ootused ja mõistliku töökoormuse, sest inimesed peavad tundma end turvaliselt töökeskkonnas. Aga seejuures ole ettevaatlik, inimesed ei vaja mikromanageerimist, nad vajavad su mõistmist ja toetust!
🔹 Ärevushäirete märkamine töökohal võib olla keeruline, kuna inimesed püüavad sageli oma ärevust varjata või häbenevad seda tunnistada. 🔹 Kui märkad, et kolleeg võib kannatada ärevuse all, on oluline pakkuda tuge ja mõistmist. 🔹 Hea oleks seejuures kasutada vaimse tervise esmaabi põhimõtteid. 🔹 Alustuseks võiks proovida vestelda inimesega ärevuse teemal. 🔹 Oluline on olla empaatiline ning kuulata aktiivselt, ilma hinnanguteta. 🔹 Vältida tuleks probleemi pisendamist või oma nõuannete ja soovituste pealesurumist, kuid samas julgustada kolleegi otsima vajalikku professionaalset abi. #peaasi #vaimnetervis #vaimseterviseesmaabi
