News

Strengthening Border Measures for Omicron Variant

Due to the epidemic of Omicron variant, the Japanese government has announced that it will suspend new entry of foreigners for the time being after November 30th.

In addition, it has been decided that the measures to shorten the waiting period, which were taken for Japanese returnees holding a vaccination certificate, will be suspended for the time being.

With regard to COVID-19, a new Omicron variant has begun to spread and each country is under pressure to deal with it. Anticipating that such new mutant strains will continue to appear in the future frequently, it will be a little depressing.

I’ll be getting a booster shot next week and I’m wondering if it’s also effective against Omicron variant.

Improve Your Eyesight just by Looking at the Red Light!?

According to an article published in Nature on November 24, the research team at University College London found that if you see a special red light for three minutes in the morning once a week, it will restore age-related vision.

According to Professor Glen Jeffery, who leads the research team, light with wavelengths in the 650-900 nanometer range improves mitochondrial performance and contributes to improved color vision.

The article did not mention the improvement of so-called myopia, which has declined except for aging, but at least it seems to be possible to improve presbyopia in the future, so it seems promising.

India Announced Crypto Ban Bill

A bill has been submitted in the Parliament of India to impose a ban on all private cryptocurrencies.

Along with this, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a series of cryptocurrencies that have experienced price declines of more than double digits.

If the bill is actually passed, it will follow China in the major countries, so I am wondering what will happen to the regulations on virtual currencies of countries around the world in the future.

Pick-up

I was planning to explain NFT in this week’s tree topic, but I couldn’t make it by the time I posted this article, so I will post it next week at the earliest.

Gadget/Lifehacks

Cleanup.pictures

The gadget I would like to introduce this time is Cleanup.pictures.

This tool is free and allows you to erase unwanted objects in your photos as if they weren’t there from the beginning.

In the image below, I erased the famous Banksy art hammer to make it look like a boy dancing in a club.

It’s very easy to do, just fill with a pen in the object you want to erase after uploading the photo, so please take advantage of it!

Personal Finance

This week, due to the market impact of Omicron variant, the results were very disappointing.

After all, when the overall market is bad, it seems better to refrain from buying as much as possible.

The realized performance of individual stocks are as follows.

  • AMD: (7.00)%
  • AOSL: (6.16)%
  • BLDR: 7.09%
  • WIRE: (5.16)%

The following are the stocks in possession:

For the time being, I plan to keep the stocks I currently own, but I would like to refrain from purchasing new stocks next week unless there are very good individual stocks.

Shop/Restaurant

Avra Estiatorio

The restaurant I am introducing this week is “Avra Estiatorio”, which serves Greek cuisine.

I ordered a course meal, Grilled Octopus and Fish of the Day, and Greek Yogurt.

The appetizer bread came with 3 different sauces and I enjoyed it in various ways.

Personally, the olives in the olive sauce were delicious with a chopstick resting feeling.

The octopus dish, today’s fish dish, and Greek Yogurt were all satisfying.

However, for me, who is a big eater, I felt that today’s fish has a small volume, so next time I would like to order a larger fish, Branzino.

It is a highly recommended restaurant with a luxurious customer service experiences.

Avra Estiatorio
141 E 48th St, New York, NY 10017
Mon-Sat 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Sun 12:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Postscript

After playing tennis for the first time in a few weeks, the next day I had muscle aches all over my body.

Recently, I have realized that my muscular strength has dropped considerably because the chances of going to the gym have diminished.

A nearby gym is planning to add a swimming pool and jacuzzi in the near future, so as soon as the expansion is completed, I would like to become a member and resume weight training and enjoy the jacuzzi!

Have a nice week, everyone!
