Various Competitions and the Excitement of Climbing Areca Nut and Their Social Meaning
August is a historic month for my country Indonesia. After Sukarno proclaimed Indonesia's independence on August 17, 1945.
A historic event, freed from the grip of colonialists for several centuries who wanted to control and own Indonesian land. Therefore, 17 August is designated as a national day which is always greeted with festivities throughout the archipelago, from Sabang to Merauke with various forms of festivities. Both formal events in government and non-formal in remote areas with a model of lively activities and types of fun competitions.
One of them is the climbing areca nut competition which is never absent in a series of activities, which the committee is usually carried out by young people.
The excitement and enthusiasm of the community is clearly seen in August every 17th, precisely this year 2022 falls on Wednesday. Incidentally, I myself am still included in the committee, of course I have my own experience as an event organizer.
Although the Augustan event in the end was carried out well and successfully carried out. The key lies in the commitment and consistency of the committee. Cooperation, mutual trust, patience, unselfishness, etc. which sometimes makes members not cooperate with each other. In addition, there are various preparatory steps, namely careful planning before implementation.
Starting from deliberations on the formation of the committee, meetings, schedule of events, schedule of activities, event rundown and sources of activity funds, as well as things in the form of tools that need to be prepared and available by the committee.
Which sometimes without a mature plan will end in the failure of the 17's event implementation. Because they consider it trivial and do not sit together among the committee in preparing the agenda for the event. Maybe this annual routine is less successful without preparation in one's view.
Back to the context above, which is often seen in the 17's activities, namely the Panjat Pinang (climbing areca nut) competition, which is fun and lively.
Inviting a sense of laughter and humor when you see the participants who follow it. But on the other hand, of course there are social meanings and moral messages in this competition, including:
*1. Cohesiveness in the team, those below support those above to rise to reach the top of the areca nut. And those who try their best to achieve the team's expectations by completing the team's wishes. Unity and cooperation is the key.*
*2. Develop the best tips and tactics in the team, compete with other teams in a sporting manner.*
*3. And trust each other and stay away from blaming each other.*
Likewise with other competitions whose types are in the form of group competitions.

Pandanus leaves have multiple Benefits
Who is not familiar with this one plant? The plant whose leaves are usually used as a mixture of food so that the food becomes fragrant, like its function the name of this plant is **"Pandanus Fragrant"** this plant has existed since ancient times, I still remember that every house in my place almost had this pandanus, because This plant can be said to be easy to grow and does not require special care. Even if it is in the dry season, pandanus will still thrive. Once grown, pandanus will last for decades.
This is the fragrant pandanus that I have right in front of the house, my wife usually uses pandanus to mix various foods.
Actually there are many types of pandanus,
- Fragrant pandanus
- Thorn pandanus
The pandanus I have includes the fragrant pandanus.
This time I focus on fragrant pandanus, my wife always uses fragrant pandanus leaves for various mixtures such as making compote, porridge, and some cakes. Enough with a leaf, the food will smell good, so no other artificial liquid is needed. In addition to making food or cakes smell good, fragrant pandanus is also used for natural dyes.
After so many years of using fragrant pandanus, I myself have never heard of nor have I experienced side effects after consuming food mixed with fragrant pandanus, nor have I heard of anyone being allergic to fragrant pandan.
**Multi benefits**
It turns out from several studies that in addition to pandanus leaves as a food fragrance, pandanus leaves also have various benefits, namely by boiling pandanus leaves.
So this time I will try to write about the properties of pandanus leaf stew.
**1. Neutralize toxins in the body**
Pandan leaves are known to be able to neutralize toxins in our bodies, are there poisons in our bodies? Everyone has poison in the body, so one way to neutralize it is by boiling pandanus leaves.
**2. Able to lower blood sugar**
pandanus leaf extract can stimulate the production of the hormone insulin from the pancreas, by drinking pandanus leaf decoction, blood sugar will be controlled.
**3. Able to treat cancer**
Precisely in the leaves and roots that can treat cancer, namely inhibiting cancer growth.
**4. Prevent bad breath**
One of the things that most people dislike is having bad breath, we will feel uncomfortable especially if we talk to other people, one's confidence will be lost.
So by drinking boiled pandanus leaves, bad breath will disappear because it comes from the natural content found in pandan leaves.
So, those are some of the other properties possessed by fragrant pandanus leaves, this is just my opinion.
The point is that most people know that fragrant pandan leaves are useful for food fragrance. It turns out that fragrant pandan leaves are also useful for health. It can be said that pandanus leaves are a natural medicine. If there is a natural remedy. Why don't we use it? Hehe
Thank you for reading my writing to the end. Send regards for success.
Almost all sellers now use loudspeakers
Most likely because the seller of fried tofu suddenly used a loudspeaker.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4unoJQwnA-U
Loudspeakers influence other itinerant salespeople to do the same. His distinctive tone of voice inspired fellow salespeople to imitate him. Her iconic voice has caught the attention of many people. And although his voice sounded **"squeaky"**, it aroused curiosity.
As it is now. Almost all the salespeople who stop by at the complex where I live use **"Artificial Sound"**. They no longer shouted at the children and residents of the complex. Simply through a recorded voice played over and over again from their speakers to announce his arrival.
As did Mr. Rahmat, a vegetable seller who has been running for more than 2 years and stops by my complex every day installing speakers in his vegetable basket. through the loudspeaker came the distinctive **"vegetable.vegetable.fresh vegetable" sound** .
Mr. Rahmat was inspired to do this from a fellow vegetable seller who had used it before. then he imitated with cheap speakers and simple electronic circuits. With this voice recording and speakers, mr. Rahmat no longer needs to shout for his customers.
The sound of the speaker that is heard from a distance makes people who want to shop will definitely come soon. In line with mr. Rahmat, a bakpao seller who usually goes past 7 in the morning, also follows a similar trend. **"Bakpao, Bakpao, delicious. There are flavors of chocolate, green bean, strawberry"**.
Actually there is nothing special about the series of sounds. but the noises give color to the mornings in our compound. but because the sound is repeated continuously can make listeners interested in buying.
Does artificial sound contain magic that attracts buyers? I don't knows.
Does artificial sound contain magic that attracts buyers? Who knows.
Only the sound is repeated, the longer the sound seems to have the power of a buyer. as well as chicken sellers, every time they stop by my complex. **"Assalamualaikum, chicken, chicken, fresh chicken"** haha that's what it sounds like.
Actually the words are short. but then again, it had a quirk, like the voice of a man specially trained to produce the sounds that a traveling salesman would later make.
I don't know what other seller will use artificial sound from the speakers. maybe traditional market sellers will eventually follow suit. Can't imagine if that actually happened. What will happen is that the market will be more crowded by the sounds of these artificial speakers. Ha ha
The point is that this is part of sales innovation, no matter how small it is, innovation is needed, not only in the business field, but in all fields, innovation is needed.
Finally, I thank you for visiting and reading my writing.
Some Hope
Hello, I'm not a new player, but I'm an old player who just tried to join read.cash, you need to know this is my second account. Sorry, I don't mean to add an account because I want more bonuses, but because my first account I think is not working, Besides that, I have consulted several friends, and most of my friends gave suggestions that it is better to just create another account.
So that's the reason why I created my second account. I hope this account lasts a long time, and there are some bonuses from my hard work writing here.
Go to topic.
Every human being has hope. Everyone's expectations are different. It is rare for humans to have the same expectations as others. To achieve these expectations, humans usually try and pray. Efforts must be made in the best possible way to achieve these expectations. That includes me too.
So what is my next hope after I create my second account..
**1. Have a better account and not be considered spam**
Maybe one of the reasons why Rusty doesn't want to stop by or come to my first account is that my account is already considered spam, in fact I've been trying to prevent my account from being considered spam, such as commenting, replying to comments, and upvoting some posts.
**2. Improve the quality of writing**
Good for us is not necessarily good for others, I have written several times and I think my writing is good, but only good for myself not necessarily for others, so after this second account I hope I have better writing . Certainly useful for readers.
**3. More active and more time**
You can count how many hours I open read.cash and then leave, that's what I often do, oddly enough, I see some accounts only writing and then leaving, I noticed that there is no other activity, they only write daily. But they get bonuses, and lots. That's what I want. Lol
But as much as possible I will continue to interact, comment, I am here with people who are not robots, they can be invited to talk, joke, etc.
**4. Rusty often visits**
I just heard that Rusty is a nickname. Hehe
Who does not want if his writings and accounts are always visited by Rusty, I make sure all of them want it. But I'm still patient, it's all because of time. I'm sure if not now maybe tomorrow, if not tomorrow maybe in the future, if not in the future, never mind. Lol
**5. One day $2**
Can I? I believe that I can , nothing is impossible , as long as there is a will , like me , I have a high will , so it is highly likely that it will happen . Hopefully so.
That's too little. Not. That's more than enough but if I get more than that I'll be happy. Hehe
But that hope will be in vain if it is not accompanied by effort and action. Many people just rely on their hopes without definite action still not producing anything. But there are times when hope rests on someone or something. Expectations that bring results are actions accompanied by prayers or hopes. Some opinions state that hope is different from **"positive thinking"**. Hope does exist even if it is abstract or invisible.
The success or failure of a hope depends on the efforts of the person who has that hope. Hope is related to the future. So what we do is for the future as well as to pursue hope.
Thank you for reading.
Family is the main education of children
Today I have to go to the hospital because it's time for my mother to check up, my daughter happened to insist to come.
After arriving at the hospital my daughter was not allowed to enter because it is a hospital regulation that children under 15 years old are prohibited from entering, we go out, did not to accompany my mother to the doctor, fortunately there was a father who accompanied her.
Finally we stopped at a small super market to buy some snacks, while waiting for my mother to finish checking up. As usual, when my daughter buys something, she always remembers her older brother. of course I agree.
One of the things I like about them is that they always treat each other well, even though when they are together they often fight, meaning they fight because they are joking, not fighting like adults. :)
That's what my wife and I always teach our children, teach and model kindness, especially doing good to family members. because the family is the first education for children.
As we know that the educational process can occur in three environments namely family, school, and community. The following is the educational process in three environments:
**1. Family environment**
The first environment that has a role is the family environment, this is where children are born, cared for, and raised. This is where the education process begins, parents are the first and foremost teachers for children. Parents are the first religious, language and social teachers for children.
Parents are the first to teach children to speak by teaching children to say other words. Parents are the first to teach children to socialize with the surrounding environment. The process of life in a family is the first learning process for children before they enter the wider environment, namely school and society.
Parents, especially mothers, because a mother who usually has more time with her children at home, can be a good teacher for her children, and a mother is able to direct, guide, and develop her child's potential to the fullest.
**2. School environment**
In order for children's potential to be more developed and directed, children get guidance and direction from teachers in schools as formal educational institutions. The teacher's job here is to help parents to guide and develop their children's potential to be more focused. Here children are taught and guided by teachers, and children interact with their peers.
**3. Community environment**
Furthermore, the child will enter the social environment, namely society. The maturity of children to enter the community can not be separated from the role of parents. Of course, parents have prepared their children to enter the community, at school also children have learned to live socially by interacting with their friends.
Because of the importance of family education, I put the family environment first.
From the description, it can be seen that the starting point of the formation of a child's personality is parents. These three environments must be able to work together and support each other for maximum results in shaping the personality of a good child. Such conditions place parents as the first and foremost teachers for their children in informal education programs that occur in the family environment.
