平昌(ピョンチャン)・オリンピック始まる

The Pyeongchang Olympics have begun。I watched a little bit of the opening ceremony.。What impressed me the most was、the last、It was an aerial mass game with about 1,300 (machines?) drones provided by Intel.。Drones are independent thinkers、Each aircraft calculates the wind direction and speed by itself.、I drew and showed the unwavering Olympic symbol.。

Number of gold medals per country、I'm not interested though、If that drone had been filled with poison gas...military personnel would have been scared.、Of course you must have checked it before that.。It has long been common knowledge that the Olympics are a "technology Olympics" for competition equipment manufacturers as well.、Finally at the Olympics、It looked like a military manufacturer's promotional show had begun.。Next、I hope this doesn't turn into an "emergency response show" for medical manufacturers.。

L:Me、Have you become a little younger? Looks like there's more green...。

R:Especially。

L:So。Is it wishful thinking?。

R:Because it's always cold。It's better as long as it doesn't dry out。

L:It's a cold wave that only happens once every few years.。Lately, once every few decades、I started listening。Every day is only once in a lifetime、I don't think there's any point in that.。

L:50Even if you're told to prepare because it's the first heavy snowfall in years、Suddenly make your house earthquake resistant、There's no way you can build up muscle to shovel snow, right?

R:For meteorological and earthquake researchers、That's right。Until I look into it later、Please remember this time well.。Oh dear、Because it might be a big deal、Just be prepared to run away.。

L:I see。But、In reality, you can't even run away, can you?

R:That's right。Just being told that the escape route is blocked by snow。50Taking advantage of my experience from a year ago、I'm just saying you should judge for yourself.、Are those people old enough? This time it's raining、The forecast is for another heavy snowfall.、Maybe it's better to run away now。

L:Where? The house that saved me 50 years ago、There's no more。

 

恵方巻き

“Ehomaki” has been around for the past 10 years or so.、rapidly permeating society、New Year's cake and Christmas cake、It seems to have become a seasonal staple, rivaling Valentine's chocolate.。

On the other hand、It was reported in the newspaper that it was causing a large amount of food waste.。

Even government PR is modest about these numbers.、In Japan alone, 19 million tons of food is thrown away every year.、This is enough to feed 70 million people for a year.。Unsold soon、Close to expiry date, etc.、Throw away even though you can still eat it properly、The so-called food loss is 5 to 9 million tons.。Japan imports many of its ingredients、Looking at these numbers, it means that almost half of the imported amount is being thrown away.。Where has our “mottainai spirit” gone?。

Delicious food enriches the soul。That's for sure。But、Don't keep it to yourself、It's better to share it with as many people as possible、It will lead to the creation of a richer culture.。There is a movement to recirculate food waste to various facilities and people in need of assistance.、It has appeared in some so-called developed countries.。Japan too soon、Don't just rely on the goodwill of individuals and groups、Shouldn't we make it a challenge to properly create a system that takes advantage of that intention?。Securing food gives peace of mind to anyone.。Even if I get sick、Even if I lose my job、A society where people can eat properly、I'm sure it will give us a wealth of imagination.。
