We tweet about things that are not related to our work.

toothache
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
In mid-November, my lower right tooth suddenly hurt and I went to the dentist.
I thought it was completely a knd of cavities in my head, but the dentist told me that it was caused by wisdom teeth.
I went to see a dentist of a town doctor, but I didn’t know that it was a troublesome wisdom tooth that grew up right next
to me and could only be dealt with in a large hospital.
Wisdom tooth means “third molar”. Molars are so-called “back teeth”.
The 6th, 7th, and 8th back teeth counted from the center are called “molars”, and the 8th is wisdom tooth.
It seems to grow in the 20s to 30s.
“wisdom tooth” is called “unknown parents” in Japan.
The origin of this wisdom tooth name seems to be various theories, but the typical origin theory is
that it is a tooth that grows after the death of parents because the life span of Japanese people was short life in the past.
In English, the spelling is Widom tooth, which means becoming an adult.
It means the teeth that grow when things become sensible.
There is nothing wrong with removing wisdom teeth, but rather it is better to remove it because the probability of tooth decay is very high.
It seems that modern people who do not eat hard foods and have many soft foods do not chew very much and their jaws are not well developed, so they cannot grow straight.

Year-end Jumbo Lottery
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I bought a lottery at the end of the year in a long time from the last time.
The last time was about 5 or 6 years ago? No, I feel like it’s been more.
When I went to the lottery counter, I saw a sticker saying “Please line up in a row”
It is pasted on the ground with a little space.
A lady at the sales floor (Maybe younger than me?) recommended to buy another lottery,
so I bought a scratched lottery.
I got a redemption coupon that I can anytime get at “Family Mart (convenience sotre)”.
for one products in my choice among Pokechiki, blended coffee or latte, cream puff or pudding.
I can’t wait for New Year’s Eve since the corona infection is spreading and I really need fun.

Go To Eat
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
As a support measure for the food and beverage industry that was hit by the spread of the new coronavirus infection
Started point granting business “Go To Eat”
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said on November 13 that “reservations will reach the budget limit in the near future”.
They have announced the prospect that it will end soon.
As of November 11, the number of reservations reached more than 50 million, and it was assumed to be around January 2021.
The end time is significantly ahead of schedule, and it seems that the business will end in less than one and a half month from the start.
I made a reservation to take advantage of the campaign at home,
but canceled because my son had a cold on the day of the reservation.
Following “Go To Travel”, “Go To Eat” could not be used and it ended.
I will collect information so that I will not miss the next “Go To”.

Total Concentration breathing
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
A breathing control is emphasized in martial arts and sports like tai chi chuan or yoga.
“By breathing out slowly, the parasympathetic nerves become active and blood flow improves.”
Hiroyuki Kobayashi, a professor at Juntendo University, who is familiar with autonomic nerves, explains.
When blood flow improves, intestinal movements and immune functions are activated, leading to longevity.
“Breathing can indirectly alter brain activity. It’s rational to use breathing to raise one’s concentration.”
He recommends a method of deep breathing with a 1 : 2 inhale and exhale length.
It’s important to set a time just for 3 minutes a day and focus on breathing.
He is concerned that the epidemic of the new coronavirus may increase the stress of people and make their breathing shallower.
Consciousness to the breathing control is rising by the influence of Demon Slayer. I’d like to try deep breathing, too.

MANGA
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Manga (cartoon) artist Shinji Mizushima (81 years old) announced his retirement on December 1st.
He is known for baseball manga such as “Dokaben” and “Abu-san.”
Since his debut in 1958, he has been drawing numerous baseball manga.
“Dokaben” was serialized for 46 years, and “Abu-san” was for 41 years.
He had a great influence not only on manga but also on the baseball world.
When I was in elementary and junior high school, I was absorbed in Shinji Mizushima’s work, and I read most of the main works.
I think these mangas inspired me to continue playing baseball.
My favorite scene is the game between Meiku High School and Aoda High School in “Daikoshien” (major tournament).
The “Demon Slayer” that my two children are crazy now will have a great impact on their lives.
I also wanted to do a job that would have an impact on someone’s life someday.
Tomorrow, I’d like to go to second-hand bookstores to look for “Daikoshien”.

blood type
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
In Japan, blood type is mainly used for personality diagnosis.
It is a very strange and rare culture in the world.
In the blood type diagnosis, it is mainly said
that a person with blood type A tends to be strict,
type B is self-paced, type O is rough, and type AB can have a split personality.
Professor Furukawa, a Japanese education scholar, first made this hypothesis.
In 1927 he published a paper that blood type affects personality,
but he examined only 11 of his own relatives.
In the end, this theory was denied in 1933 by a number of additional tests.
In the 1970s, some books with similar opinions to Furukawa were published.
Although these books had no scientific basis,
they were featured on TV and magazines and became a boom all over Japan.
After that, employment discrimination and bullying caused by blood type became a social problem.
Regardless of the pros and cons of such unscientific diagnosis,
it is a standard topic for Japanese people.
If you have the opportunity to talk to Japanese,
how about asking their blood type just as a way of communication?
