5 dicas para curtir o Carnaval Brasileiro

Today I'm talking about "Otsukimi (Viewing Moon)".

I saw the news of moon viewing on TV this morning. The harvest moon of thie year was September 10th. It was yesterday. The beautiful moon was on TV, but I didn't see it yesterday. OMG!
***********************************************************
こんにちは。
今朝、テレビを見ていたら、お月見のニュースをしていました。
きのうの夜、9月10日　土曜日、京都、大覚寺（だいかくじ）の大沢池で　「観月祭」が催されたそうです。
雲が多かったようですが、その雲を抜けて　月が顔を出すと、月見に来ていた人たちが、スマホで月の写真を撮ったり、うっとりと空を眺めている様子がテレビに映し出されていました。
私はというと、せっかくのお月さまを　眺めることもせず　仕事をしていました。

8月のカレンダーをめくって、「ああ、もう9月か。もうすぐお月見だな」とおもいながらも、結局、私は何もしませんでした。

お月さまが満月になるのは、年に何度もあることですが、この時期のお月さまは「中秋の名月」と言って、特別なものとして扱われています。中秋とは　秋の真ん中のことで、名月は秋の夜に昇る大きくてまん丸な満月のことです。

「月を愛でる」ということばがあります。日本人だけでなく、地球上のあらゆるところに　月を愛でる人たちがいると思います。
その証拠に、月を歌った歌はたくさんあります。
日本では、「月」「証城寺の狸囃子」「荒城の月」「朧月夜」「雨降りお月さん」などなど
海外では『ティファニーで朝食を』の「ムーン・リバー」、ジャズのスタンダートナンバー「フライ・ミー・トウ・ザ・ムーン」など、
月の夜を楽しむ歌もあれば、悲しい恋の物語を歌う歌もあります。

むかしむかしに書かれた日本の短歌でも　月は歌われています。
月見れば　ちぢにものこそ　悲しけれ　わが身一つの　秋にはあらねど（大江千里）
めぐりあひて　見しやそれとも　分かぬまに　雲がくれにし　夜半の月かな（紫式部）
心にもあらで　うき世に　ながらへば　恋しかるべき　夜半の月かな（三条院）

「月の短歌、俳句」で　ネット検索すると、なんとたくさんの歌が出てくることでしょう。
恋心をうたったもの、亡くなった人を想って歌ったもの、故郷への想いをうたったものなど、いろいろあります。
見ている月は　みんな同じはずなのに、月は　ひとりひとりに　違う風景を見せてくれているのかもしれませんね。

さて、私は1日おくれのお月見を　今夜　しようと思っています。

今日は　「お月見」をテーマにお話ししました。
最後まで聞いてくれてありがとうございました。

それでは、またね。　さようなら。

Men and women think and feel differently and when it comes to relationships, I feel that women are more invested emotionally. In this podcast, I will give my two cents on why there is more to life than love and tell the difference between men and women.

FLO TALKS 

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN LOVE.

The price of bitcoin hit more than $100,000 for the first time as the value of the cryptocurrency continues to soar following the election of Donald Trump.

This came just hours after the President-elect indicated he'd take a lighter regulatory approach to the crypto industry during his presidency.

It climbed from $69,374 on the day of Trump's election on November 5 and rose as high as $103,713 on December 4, according to CoinDesk.

Just two years ago, bitcoin dropped below $17,000 following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

However, experts aren't sure how long the value of bitcoin will remain high as cryptocurrency is highly volatile.

Some are hopeful of future gains, but others continue to warn of investment risks.

Trump, who was once a crypto skeptic, has said he wants to make the US "the crypto capital of the planet." His campaign accepted donations in cryptocurrency and he has also launched World Liberty Financial, a new project with family members to trade cryptocurrencies.

Many in the crypto industry have welcomed Trump's victory, hoping that he'll be able to push through changes that they've long lobbied for — which, generally speaking, aim for an increased sense of legitimacy without too much red tape.

Trump has already made a move in that direction, saying he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under current chair Gary Gensler, the SEC has cracked down on the crypto industry, penalizing a number of companies for breaking securities laws.

But what is cryptocurrency, really?

In basic terms, cryptocurrency is digital money. It is designed to work through an online network without a central authority — meaning it's typically not backed by any government or banking institution — and transactions get recorded with technology called a blockchain.
