In the United Sates, a yound man and his friends died in a car accident.
The police said that they weren't drunk, but a tire of their car was too old.
His father couldn't believe it, because he knwe that their tire was still good.
However, he didn't knew that the tire looked still new, the inside of the tire was old.
Tire can cause traffic accident when it is old, and those who are older than 6 years are pretty dangerous.
When his father bought the tire at an auto shop, it was already 4 years old.
The shop can still sell those tire because the tire don't have expire date.
So when the young man and his friends was driving a car, the tire was actually 9 years old.
We should be really careful when we buy tires.

A Baby was born without eyes
A baby girl was born without eyes.
According to the doctor who treats her says that the cause is not known as yet.
The baby girl has to take many surgeries in order to treat her eyes.
She is very healthy except not having her eyes.
Her mother is taking care of her very well, and her grandmother loves her also.
They both say that they are going to treat her the same way as normal kids.
I've heard before about people who are blind. Most of those people became blind in the childhood or in the adulthood.
Therefore, being born without eyes is pretty rare.
I wonder if she wants to look at her mother or grandmother and see how they look.

Sugar Addiction 2
I was reading the article from ABC news, and they said that
the sugar addiction can be caused by depression and anxiety.
That can be true for me, because when I have stress, or have a lot of tests and writing reports, or before presentations I feel like taking sweet snacks.
In order to cut the sugar intake, soybeans and yogurt and some other healthy food were introduced in the article.
As for artificial sugar, many people use them instead of natural sugar
However, according to the article, it's much safer to cut the sugar intake instead of using those artificial sugars.

Sugar Addiction 1
I was wondering the sugar can be addicted, because I love sweet snacks.
I love cakes, candy bars and chocolate. I was wondering if there is a reason why I can't live without it. And, now I found out! Sugar can be addicted.
Sugar addiction is very scary. It can cause cancer, diabetes, heart attack and so on.
Sugar itself is not a poison, but if you take it too much, it can cause serious ill.
Basically, amount of sugar you can take is about 20 grams a day.
However, many sweet products contain a lot of sugar, and it is above 20 grams.
According to ABC news, sugar addiction can be divided into some patterns.
One is that people feel tired because of work and take energy drinks, which has a lot of sugar in it.
Second is pressure of stress. People feel stressed out and eat sweet stuff.
There are also some other patterns, but I couldn't understand them much.

A body was found in landing gear
In an airplane of Delta Airlines, a dead body was found.
The airplane left NewYork and landed Narita airport.
A mechanic in the airport found a dead body in landing gear compartment,
while doing the maintenance.
The dead body was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, and can't be identified who it is as yet.
Maybe he couldn't get out from the compartment while doing something?
If he was not dead while he was in the compartment, he must have died during the flight.
If so, that's terrible because the air gets very cold and there are not enough oxygen.
I wonder why he was in there.

In sickness, love lasts longer
There is a good article in the CNN Health, that in sickness, love endures.
In the article, a woman is ill and has hard time to walk. Her husband takes care of her well.
According to him, love can be developed not only the affection but also through commitment.
They have a lot of hard time together, so in the good times, they both feel happier.
I think that if a husband is busy to take care of his wife, he won't have time to cheat.
So the article can be true.
Also, if a spouse become ill and can't live by himself, some people can't be divorced. Maybe they are more likely to help their spouse, I think.

Toyota Recall
One of the biggest automakers in the world, Toyota, has made a statement last week.
They talked about their popular car, Prius and SAI that those cars should be repaired( maybe improved?)
In the United States, Japan and maybe around the world, customers who drive those cars had fears of the breaks. They felt the breaks not working a moment.
Unike typical cars, Prius and SAI have computer inside that controls break systems.
The computer is improved now, according to Toyota.
Toyota is well known for the advanced technology of making cars, and also many people think their cars are safe.
Maybe they should do more monitoring and make sure that the customers feel safe when they ride Toyota cars.

KIRIN & SUNTORY merger
There was a big news last year and people were surprised that one of the biggest drink makers KIRIN and SUNTORY are considering a merger.
If the two companies became one, that can be a biggest drink makers in the world.
However, the dream didn't came true.
The two companies couldn't make a compromise of its share ratio.
Also, their point of view about how the companies should be was different.
From the consumer's point of view, I don't want them to merger.
They both make good beer, and both of they are popular in Japan.
However, if they merger, their own distinct style of making drinks can be changed.
So they should not merger if doesn't merit both of them.

It seems like that there is a trend of losing weight.
A couple of years ago, Billy's boot camp and core rhythm became very popular.
This year, it seems like, diet shakes are catching a trend.
DHC and ORBIS, and some of the big online companies are advertising diet shakes.

Diet shakes have only about 150 kcal each, so if you replace a food and drink a diet shake,
you can cut huge amount od calories a day.
There are disadvantages of diet shake, though.
I tried some of the diet shakes before, but they are sweet and don't feel like eating food.
So I felt hungry and eventually ate some food.
Also, diet shakes are little expensive. It costs about 300 yen each.

Battle of Okinawa
In the past, a big war between Japan and the U.S was held in Okinawa.
When I was little, I asked my grandmother about the Battle of Okinawa, and her experiences.
My grandmother was about 21 years old then, which is pretty much like our age.
She was in Ishigaki island and lived close to her friends' houses.
When she heard that the Americans coming to their island, she and her friends hide in the forests. While they were in the forest, one of her friend was shot on her shoulder, and died.
The biggest enemy was not only the bombs, but also mosquitoes. Malaria was widely spread to people who live in forests. Many of them died because of it. My grandmother couldn't sleep much and had to take care of her friends who suffered from Malaria.

the number of suicide increases
The number of people who committed suicide increased this year. It's about 32,750, which means that 504 more people killed themselves.
The number is 9 times as much as people who died of traffic accidents.
Some reasons why the number increased are mental depressions and the recession.
The number of people who don't have job increased, and it causes problems both mentally and physically.
Of course Okinawa is one of the prefectures that has a biggest suicide rates.
We have many suicide spot in Okinawa..
One time when I was in elementary school, an old man put gasoline on his body, burned himself and died in the school. That was shocking.
I hope the economy gets better soon, and more people can get jobs.
