From fast-food counters to Michelin-starred restaurants, the hamburger is much loved in the Western diet, but where did it come from?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hamburger as both "ground beef" and "a sandwich consisting of a patty of hamburger" on a bun. Although these might be the simplest forms of a hamburger, the sandwich is often eaten with other things added, such as lettuce, cheese, sauces and even other meats.

But this popular food didn't start out with all the extras. In fact, it's thought that one of the earliest forms of the hamburger was closer to a steak tartare — raw minced steak mixed with egg.

While a recipe from the Roman Empire suggests the earliest version of this meal, some believe that it came from Mongolian horsemen, who would place beef under their saddles while riding, so that by the end of the day it was tender enough to eat raw.

However, others say these riders placed meat under their saddles only to help heal their horses' sores, and any meat prepared this way would be too dirty to be edible.

A later version is thought to have come from the German city of Hamburg, where chefs around the 17th or 18th century cooked minced beef with onions and breadcrumbs. This came to be known in English as the "Hamburg steak," and made its way to the US during the 19th century, where it was later called the "hamburger."

Although it isn't known who first thought to put this minced meat on bread, adding a bun made the hamburger popular as a sandwich in the US. The first fast-food hamburger chain — named White Castle — was opened in 1921, and still sells its famous square-shaped hamburgers to this day.

Now, hamburgers can be found worldwide thanks to popular American fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. In 2012, PBS reported that an estimated 50 billion hamburgers are eaten in the US alone every year.

Today I'm talking about temperature in January. Japan is a small country but its island is long from north to south. For that reason, temperatures are so different by location.  Winter temperaturesin Japan are rising more than ever before.
********************************************************
1月の気温
日本は小さな国ですが、日本列島は南北に細長く、北と南では気温がまったく違います。
一番北にある北海道はマイナス２０℃ぐらいに気温が下がる日もあるようですが、南の沖縄は最低気温が15℃前後ぐらいだそうです。
私が住んでいるところは　兵庫県。西日本に位置しています。大阪や京都も近いところです。いわゆる関西です。
このあたりの1月の平均最低気温は2℃、最高気温は9℃ぐらいです。でも、先週は突然、昼間の気温が15℃ぐらいまで上がり、コートを着て歩いていると汗ばむぐらいの陽気でした。最低気温も7℃ぐらいあって、朝起きたときも全然寒くありませんでした。
なのに、また今週はどんどん気温が下がって、来週には　最低気温がマイナス２℃、最高気温も５℃ぐらいまでしか上がらないという予報が出ています。　北海道や東北地方の雪国に住んでいる人からすれば、ぜんぜん寒くない気温かもしれません。でも、ずっと、関西にすんでいる私にとって、０℃より気温が下がることはとてもめずらしいことです。雪も滅多に降らない場所で、冬の間に１－２回雪を見ることができたらいい方です。　だから、少しでも雪が降ると、子どもたちはとても喜びます。私も小学生のころ、雪が降ると嬉しくて、外に出て雪を手で受け止めたり、ほんの少し積もった雪を集めたりしたものです。
住んでいる場所によって、気温差はありますが、日本人にとって、１月、２月は寒くて当たりまえの季節。でも、今日テレビの天気予報で聞いたんですが、最近の関西の気温は４０年ぐらい前の九州南部の気温と同じぐらいになっているそうです。　ということは、このあたりで雪を見ることは益々減っていくということですね。そういえば、車で２－３時間で行ける滋賀県のスキー場の中には雪がなくて、スキーができないところもあるようです。　あまりに寒い冬は困りますが、いつも通りの寒さの冬になってほしいと思います。

We all want our friends and relatives to be happy, but who is responsible for their care?
Today we read a story about a 95 year old woman in the UK.

Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h_1HX3Bsi1CMHmMKQoPT0G36CwgMdNBS0uekz6NK7EE/edit?usp=drivesdk


Extract: 
We're going to go through a new story today and it begins with anger as a 95 year old (is)  told to take out her bins. Now, I just want to give you some background to this first of all. So, here in the UK, we have to put our bins on the streets for them to be collected and emptied.
So we have large bins, which are referred to as wheelie bins, And we must put those on the street. Depending on your relationship with your neighbours if you live in an apartment block, someone may do this for you. But the council employees, the people who come to empty the bins, will not come upon your property to collect them. They used to. But they don't any more. Depending on the council and depending on their funding, You may be able to request them to help you if you're old or infirm. As money is tight  these days for everyone, more and more councils are refusing to do this. A council is simply a local area government.
 Now we're going to read through a story here about what's happened to a 95 year old. Now, bearing in mind that here in the UK, we don't generally mix with our neighbours unless we know them very well or are related to them.
As I’ve often told you, we view  the Government almost like a mother or father, we expect them to do the things, which perhaps in your country is done by a community.
