Scientific American: Seeking Certainty on Climate Change: How Much Is Enough?

     Today I read an article about Climate Change. They said that there are a lot of climate change signals. For example, sea levels are rising, average temperatures are increasing, and glacier are melting. Climate change has caused many disasters in the world. However, it is not well understood by scientists. Many people will die in the disasters because they cannot prepare for what will come.

Black Friday

イメージ
The day after the fourth Thursday in November is called Black Friday. Large-scale bargain sales will be carried out at retail stores. In Japan, big sales are held not only in stores but also in online shopping. I bought two things on Amazon. One is a fire tv stick. It's very convenient, and you can watch paid distribution site, such as U-NEXT and Disney Plus on TV. It was about half price. I think it was a good purchase. The other is Hot eyelash curler. It wasn't discounted, but I bought it because I wanted it for a long time. I haven't received the product yet, but I can't wait! Did you do any good shopping? I want to buy clothes for next year's Black Friday sale.

About 98% Partial Lunar Eclipse

イメージ
On November 19, did you look up at the night sky? A lot of people were pointing their cameras at the sky. The picture below was taken by me with a single-lens reflex camera at that time. On that day, about 98% of the moon hide in the shadow of the earth, a partial lunar eclipse was observed nationwide. In the lunar eclipse, there are "to-move lunar eclipse" where all, the moon is hidden, and a partial lunar eclipse. According to National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, this time it was a partial lunar eclipse of "almost complete" lunar eclipse where 97.8% of the diameter of the moon enters the shadows. Therefore, it was said that the moon could look red-black like a total lunar eclipse. It was on September 15, 1932 that a partial lunar eclipse with a maximum eclipse of 97.8% or more could be observed all over Japan. The next one is November 21, 2086, 65 years later.

Second Foreign Language

HI, everyone! My faculty also has a second foreign language class in the third and fourth term. I'm learning Chinese. It is difficult for me to learn Chinese, but it is interesting. Chinese is difficult to pronounce. In Chinese, there are four ways to pronounce even if it's the same word. If you make a mistake in pronunciation, it may have a completely different meaning. For example, the pronunciation "MA". It means mother, hemp, horse, Scold. There are four kinds of pronunciation and each meaning is different, so there are many words. Don't you think it's difficult? One salvation is that it's similar to Japanese kanji. If I look at Chinese kanji, I can roughly understand the meaning. My Chinese class is on demand. I thought two-way class would be better, but it's convenient to listen to audio many times on demand. There are three face-to-face classes in one term. Our Chinese teacher teaches us a lot about China. Recently, it's getting fun to study...
