   Mandarin orange 2021.01.08
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

It’s been freezing cold recently.
I always get a cold from a sore throat once a year.

However,
I am healthy this season probably
because I wear a mask every day.

I also try to take a lot of vitamin C.
The company has a lot of oranges as a gift from customers,
and I eat three oranges every day.

So, this time,
I investigated mandarin oranges.

Vitamin C is a typical main component of mandarin oranges.
You can get the required amount for a day just by eating 2-3 pieces a day.

Vitamin C not only has antioxidant properties,
but also boosts the body’s immune function,
making it ideal for the prevention of colds and flu.

Furthermore,
flavonoids and terpenoids contained in mandarin oranges
are said to have the effect of discharging carcinogens.

Others Mandarin orange peel contains vitamins B, C and flavonoids.

Flavonoids strengthen capillaries and prevent high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage,
so eating the whole bag will relieve constipation and prevent lifestyle-related diseases.

Citric acid,
which is the acidity of mandarin oranges,
suppresses the production of lactic acid,
which is the causative agent of fatigue,
so it is also effective for recovery from fatigue.

   Starbucks
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

I went to “Starbucks” after a long time.

I remember this was my second visit.
Did I go decades ago? ??
(When Aeon Narita was created)

Take an umbrella and enter the store to the counter
Then, the woman at the counter said, “It`s been raining all day.”

Looking at the menu,
there are various things,
so for the time being,
I chose hot coffee safely.

They lined up cups of different sizes and chose from them.

When I’m unable to make a decision about food,
She says, “Coffee ?? There are products.”
But I chose a sandwich for lunch because it wasn’t enough.

Starbucks is gently (because it’s middle aged?)
Next time, let’s choose more difficult product.

But I’m glad it was not crowded there,
maybe I was nervous if it was so crowded.

   Green Growth Strategy
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

At the end of last year,
the Japanese government aimed
for virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050.

We officially announced the “Green Growth Strategy”.

By the mid-2030s,
new passenger car sales will be 100% electric.

With hydrogen as the next-generation energy,
it will be 10 times as much as it is now in 2050.

It seems that they have set goals
such as taking measures to popularize 20 million tons.

Decarbonization The so-called “carbon neutral” approach
is a virtuous cycle of the economy and the environment.

It seems that the purpose is to set goals
for each item and provide support.

I chose this subject,
but I bought a gasoline car the other day.

Considering environmental issues,
I think this will be the last gasoline car in my home,
so I would like to make a lot of memories
with that peculiar smell of gasoline.

   the USB Type-C
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Type C is a standard
that is currently being installed mainly in smartphones and MacBooks.

It seems that the advantage of Type-C is that
you can connect it in either direction,
but “Actually, the USB Type-C terminal has both sides.”

There are 12 pins in 2 rows on the Type-C terminal.

Basically,
pins with the same role are paired and arranged point-symmetrically,
so they can be connected even if they are turned inside out.

It seems that the topic was “not perfectly symmetric”.
Checking the Type-C standard,
it seems that there is one special pair with a slightly different role for one.

According to the PC peripheral manufacturer,
as long as it is designed according to the Type-C standard,
there is no difference between the front and back.

If there is a difference in transfer speed between the front and back,
it is possible that the original ability has not been exhibited due to a terminal failure or dirt.

In that case,
it may be possible to solve it by using (turning over) the connector on the opposite side.

However,
since it is an abnormal condition in the first place,
there is no difference between the front and back as long as it is normal.

   Levanilla set meal
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

With the issuance of the second state of emergency,
opportunities to work from home have increased.

For me,
the biggest enemy of working from home
in winter seems to be “coldness”.

Of course I have heating, but it gets very cold.
I didn’t do this in the past,
but is it because of my age?

Is it because I was in the sea in the middle of winter until a few years ago?
When I was playing baseball,
the index finger of my left hand
Thanks for catching the ball?
Is it a blood circulation disorder? It’s very cold.

By the way,
today’s work-at-home style is a warm long-sleeved underwear, a thin fleece, and a thick fleece.

In addition,
a thin down jacket is pasted on it,
and a body warmer is pasted on the back.

The lower body wears a long-sleeved patch of thermal material on the underwear,
and a brushed back sweatshirt on it.

The socks are made of thick wool socks and fleece material socks are layered on top of each other,
and slippers are worn on the knees.

The most important thing in working from home fashion is to create a layer of air.

Apparently the coldest thing is the ankle.

The other day,
I put a warmer on both ankles.

There was some effect,
but I couldn’t get a satisfactory effect.

Also, when I work from home,
I take a walk every morning and squat in the park to warm my body.

It seems that you should take “iron” for coldness
when you search on the Internet for improving sensitivity to cold.

Foods that contain a lot of iron include “liver,” “green and yellow vegetables,” and “prunes.”

By the way,
I haven’t eaten liver recently.

I used to eat Levanilla set meals
that I almost always ate when I went to a set meal shop.

Recently, even if I went to the Gyoza no Ohsho,
I easily ordered a menu such as Tianjin rice salt sauce and gyoza.

On weekends,
you can take it home and order a “Levanilla set meal”.

I can’t wait for spring.

   Coral and Bacteria
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Natural compounds that prevent coral bleaching and extinction
Symbiotic bacteria
It seems that the research group discovered that it is biosynthesizing.

Recent years,
due to the rise in seawater temperature due to global warming
A large amount of coral is bleached and dead.

This bleaching phenomenon is due to environmental stress such as heat and light.
The photosynthetic system of zooxanthellae that coexists with coral becomes dysfunctional,
Reactive oxygen species are overproduced,
It seems to be caused by the withdrawal of zooxanthellae.

The symbiotic bacteria
A type of natural pigment carotenoid,
Zeaxanthin with strong antioxidant properties
Discovered that it is biosynthesized.

When this zeaxanthin was administered,
Production of reactive oxygen species decreased,
It turns out that it can prevent the bleaching phenomenon.

Zeaxanthin is
It seems to be a carotenoid that is often found in land plants.

Because it can be biosynthesized and sprayed in the ocean
If we move to field experiments, we will protect marine resources
I think it can make a big contribution.
