The final match

The FIFA final match Argentina vs. Germany is over. The World Cup has ended for a month.
It was of course full of excitement and unexpected happenings.
It's said you can't imagine what will happen in the game because there lives a monster to control it.
But the German 11 has won expectedly while the Argentina couldn't catch the miracle.
Finally good fortune smiled on German's team.
I'd like to give my smile both of them!

Anyway it's a brand new day all after the heated battle.
The sunflower in my garden starts to bloom.
It's in the summer now.

Super moon

Do you know the Super moon?
It's said that could be seen today!
The orbit of the Moon is the closest to the earth and seen a full moon.
Let's try to watch out the Moon tonight.

A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.
The most recent occurrence was on 30 January 2014. The next occurrence will be on July 12, 2014. The closest supermoon of 2014 will be on August 10.

World Cup

It was very tight and defensive game all for 120 minutes at the semi final Argentina vs Netherlands.
I thought Netherlands would win because of their powerful tough bodies and the higher ball possession.
But it was wrong!
Argentina didn't allow Netherlands goals, instead Argentina made no less than shoots.
The game was over with PK.
It was also supposed Netherlands was superior because they did it the before semi final vs Costa Rica.
But they had the last card to change the goal keeper to prepare for the PK. This time no other card to change.
I'd like to give born of them good fortune but it was only given to one team.
Argentina is the one which was made to go to the final vs Germany early in the morning on Monday.
By the way I found an interesting video which guessed the World Cup Champion.
Whether you believe it or not, it will be proved.

How much sugar ?

It's said we take too much sugar easily in our diet, especially cold beverages in our daily life.
WHO( World Health Organization) proposed new guidelines that recommend consuming less than 5% of our total daily calories from added sugars.
The American researcher compared the amount of sugar found in some of America's top-selling beverages-according to Beverage Industry magazine's 2013 State of the Industry Report - to the sugar found in common sugary snacks.
How much sugar in that drink?

English subtitle

It's good news that Japanese news should have English subtitles. It's because for foreigners living in Japan but I think it's very helpful also for Japanese who are studying English.
Actually Japan is isolated from other countries and not so influenced immediately by other cultures nor languages or foreigners. But recent globalization without tripping nor visiting, internet enables us to be close to the different culture easily.
Now we need to use the second and third languages as tools to live in the world.
As you know English is a good communication tool for us at first!
We should live to be more familiar to English in the daily life.
It's a good way adopting subtitle English to the TV news.
