Best Friends Cocoa

Although many people use the term "hot cocoa" interchangeably with "hot chocolate," there's a big difference between the two. Hot chocolate, or "drinking chocolate," is made from ground chocolate (which contains cocoa butter), which is mixed with hot milk to make the beverage. Our hot cocoa, however, is made with cocoa powder only (which contains no cocoa butter, and is thus very low in fat), along with nonfat dried milk, sugar and natural flavorings. Because of this, you can mix our hot cocoa mix with nothing but hot water and get a rich cocoa flavor with much less fat and calories than the typical hot chocolate.

神田学会

日本画材の老舗得應軒は、神田淡路町、志の田寿司の向かいにある。大阪で筆師をしていた初代が上京し、創業したのが明治17年。今のご主人、宮内隆弘さんは四代目だ。創業当時から、絵の具、筆、紙、墨、すずりなど日本画の材料一式を扱っている。
二代目の市松氏は腕の良い筆師で、橋本雅邦、横山大観など、そうそうたる日本画家の筆をつくっていた。
「なかでも横山大観先生とは親交が深く、いつも『いっちゃんいる?』と店に入ってきたそうです。関東大震災でうちが全部焼けてしまったときも、大観先生のお見舞金で店を再建したと聞いています」と宮内さん。びっくりするような話が飛び出してくる。
また、日本画専用の筆を開発したのも二代目。それまでは中国の書筆が主に使われていたが、筆の弾力や水の含みなどを研究しながら、日本画に最適な筆を完成させたのだという。店内にはさまざまな形の筆が並んでいる。
そしてもうひとつ目をひくのは、顔料の数々だ。天然・新岩などの種類があり、それぞれ原料が異なる。天然顔料の材料は孔雀石や珊瑚など。新岩は、珪酸鉛と金属酸化物を高温で溶かして発色させたものだ。中でも天然顔料の鮮やかさ、深さには目を奪われてしまう。

Alors qu’il traversait un passage de sécurité, mardi vers 07h10 à Peyres-Possens, un adolescent de 13 ans a été renversé par une voiture. La conductrice, vraisemblablement éblouie par le soleil, a heurté violemment le jeune homme.

War is a horribly fascinating thing.

To the marines on Saipan, the suicide of Japanese soldiers in the last days of the battle for the island, was an old story. But there were 20,000 civilians on the island, too, and many of them elected to die for the Emperor, or perhaps to escape a conqueror represented by Jap propaganda as hideously brutal. In this dispatch, TIME Correspondent Robert Sherrod describes the gruesome deeds, incomprehensible to the occidental mind, which followed the U.S. victory: We thought we had seen everything in the line of Jap military suicides by the time the last charge of the Japs had been beaten…

(Why is “bra” singular and “panties” plural?)
As pointed out above, bra is short for brassiere which is a word for a single object, whereas any item of clothing that covers both legs separately is referred to in plural as it comprises two leg coverings put together. Eg. trousers, pants, pantaloons, the full grammar being “a pair of pants”. Underwear is a shortened version of these, therefore is plural, eg. panties, knickers, undies.
Strangely enough you cannot refer to a single trouser or a single pant, it is “trouser-leg” or “pant-leg”!

World Bank, USAID

The sixth debate of the Emerging Issues in Today’s HIV Response Debate Series titled, "Treatment as Prevention" featured expert panelists arguing for and against the proposition:
"Countries should spend a majority of what is likely to be a flat or even declining HIV prevention budget on 'treatment as prevention'."
Recent studies have shown that persons living with HIV who are on antiretroviral treatment, are much less infectious and therefore much less likely to transmit HIV to others. The HPTN-052 randomised study found a 96% reduction in HIV transmission from an HIV-infected person to his/her sexual partner, for the 76% of cases where intra-couple transmission took place. Results suggesting similar levels of acquisition risk reduction were reported in the 2010 Partners in Prevention study. What do these latest results mean for HIV prevention programming? Should "treatment as prevention" become HIV prevention policy in countries? For all persons or only for adults in long-term sexual partnerships? Does the type of epidemic (i.e. concentrated, mixed, generalized) matter? How feasible are these interventions? Is it ethical not to implement them, given that their efficacy between long-term sexual partners is known? Should prevention resources be diverted away from other interventions, such as behavior change efforts, to fund increased ART? Who will pay for costs of the increased volumes of drugs? Do we know enough about the side-effects or about drug resistance? These questions and others related to treatment as prevention were discussed.

「ザリッシャ村、ザピッリャ村……」

チェルノブイリ市の中心にある広場には、原発事故で消えた村の名前が書かれた立て札が並ぶ。事故から25年となった2011年に作られた。

Гомельская область, 26 апреля. После чернобыльской аварии радиацией были заражены не только земли Украины, пострадали несколько районов России и почти треть всей территории Беларуси. Многие населенные пункты навсегда исчезли с карты республики.
Роза ветров это была или злой рок, но спустя несколько месяцев после взрыва на Чернобыльской АЭС баба Дуня похоронила сына. Потом один за другим умерли ещё четверо её детей.
Баба Дуня просит прощения за некрашеный пол и за то, что угостить нечем. Гости-то нежданные. А для себя она давно уже не готовит. Целыми днями одна сидит на лавочке, проклинает Чернобыль.
Сегодня на загрязнённой территории живёт больше миллиона белорусов, то есть каждый девятый. Свои болезни большинство из них связывают с катастрофой 1986.
В Японии, чтобы остановить радиацию, реакторы накрыли специальной тканью и залили смолой. 25 лет назад таких технологий не было. Люди защищали себя, как могли. Детей не выпускали на улицу, а в эту деревню приезжали военные и заливали крыши домов специальным раствором.
Деревня Залесье относится к зоне периодического радиационного контроля. Собирать грибы и ягоды здесь можно только в определённых местах. А вот земли в Залесье давно уже возделывают. Люди научились выживать в новых условиях.
Каждый год на ликвидацию последствий выделяются миллиарды белорусских рублей. Это львиная доля бюджета. Совместными усилиями белорусы вернули к жизни тысячи гектаров земли. Но 270 населенных пунктов по-прежнему остаются заражёнными. Соседняя с Залесьем и некогда процветающая деревня так после Чернобыля и не ожила. Вот уже четверть века её, как и ещё 429 деревень, нет на карте Беларуси.

Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP, persistent deflation, reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are major long-term challenges for the economy.

RAND Corporation

Nearly 20 percent of military service members who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan — 300,000 in all — report symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder or major depression, yet only slightly more than half have sought treatment.
In addition, about 19 percent of returning service members report that they experienced a possible traumatic brain injury while deployed, with 7 percent reporting both a probable brain injury and current PTSD or major depression.
Many service members said they do not seek treatment for psychological illnesses because they fear it will harm their careers. But even among those who do seek help for PTSD or major depression, only about half receive treatment that researchers consider "minimally adequate" for their illnesses.

Neuropsychiatric or "combat fatigue" cases, were probably greater in number and severity in the Okinawa campaign than in any other Pacific operation. Such cases resulted primarily from the length and bitterness of the fighting, together with heavy hostile artillery and mortar fire. The influx of from three to four thousand cases crowded the field hospitals and resulted in needless evacuations from the island. Treatment was instituted as far forward as possible in the hope of making it more effective as well as of retarding the flow to hospitals. Rest camps for neuropsychiatric cases were established by divisions in addition to the corps installations. On 25 April Tenth Army opened one field hospital to handle only such cases. Early treatment produced good results. About half of the cases were finally treated in divisional installations; the other half, comprising the more serious cases, were treated in the field hospitals. About 80 percent of the latter were returned to duty in ten days, but half of these had to be reassigned to noncombat duties.

 日本の歴史は地震の歴史と言っても過言ではない。時代の大きな変わり目は地震が後押しした側面がある。100年余りの間隔で繰り返す南海トラフの地震でいえば、宝永地震(1707年)は江戸幕府の衰退、安政東海、安政南海地震(1854年)は幕府の崩壊、昭和の東南海地震(1944年)は敗戦直前の日本を消沈させた。このほか、関東大震災(1923年)で日本経済は大打撃を受け、「大陸進出やむなし」との風潮をつくったといえる。
 古代まで振り返ると、東日本大震災をもたらした巨大地震と最も似ているのが869年の貞観地震だ。菅原道真らが編さんした歴史書「日本三代実録」には、仙台平野北部の多賀城下に津波が押し寄せたことが記されていた。
古い史料はあてにならないと思っていないだろうか。「日本三代実録」を含む奈良・平安時代に編さんされた六つの官撰(かんせん)の歴史書(六国史)は、当時の最高の頭脳が集まってつくられた。地震の記録は非常に正確だ。貞観地震以外にも9世紀の日本では各地で地震が続いた。現在の日本列島の地震活動と共通点が多く、この時期をよく知ることは次に起きる地震で多くの命を救うことにつながるだろう。
 たまたま地震が少ない時代に高度成長期を迎え、自然を征服してしまうような発想で国づくりが進められた。埋め立て地が増え、丘陵を改変して、地盤の悪い場所に移り住んだ。
 もう一度謙虚に自然を理解し、共存する方法を考えるべきではないだろうか。日本はいつの時代も地震に悩まされ、その度に残された教訓がある。歴史からそれらを学び、今後の備えを充実させなければいけない。
