Ebola Virus Disease

Now I often hear about Ebola Virus Disease through a lot of medias.  By the way, what is it? I researched about it and got general knoledges about it.

Ebola is a serious disease which is prevalent mostly in African area, and prove fatal.  It infects people through broken skin.  It take anything up from two to 21 days to appear the symptoms. People are infectious as long as Ebola is in their body, in some case, up to seven weeks after they recover.  

The early symptoms are a sudden fever, muscle pain, fatigue, headache and sore throat.  Patients are prone to die from dehydration and multiple organ failure.

There is no direct cure for the disease, and patients are isolated from other people and get intensive cure from medical experts.  However, there are some potential medicines. If it is successful, it is used for healthcare workers first.

Make sure that anyone is at lisk of this disease.  Healthcare workers weare protective clothing, but hundreds of them have died.  The only precaution for this is to avoid contact with patients.

Fortunately, in Japan, there is not the patients, however, we must know about the disease and what to do, in case it comes into Japan.

Miracle Umbrella

It is almost 2015, science techiniches have advanced, but cool things which are like in Draemon, Japanese famous cartoon, haven't appear yet.  However, we may get a huge leap in umbrella technology.  What do you imagine when you hear new umbrella is about to be developed?  It's " air umbrella."  As it is named, it doesn't rely on conventional materials to keep you drying, but instead, creates force of air which is so strong.  It deflects the rain from the area above you.  Intrestingly, the size is adjusutable, meaning by twisting the handle, the area of coverage could be increased.  The size is potentially huge, so it could cover comfortably two people.

Are you facinated by the miracle umblella?  The umbrella would be launched from next spring.  Before you buy, why don't you check this movie, and look at how useful that!

Donburi

 Today's class was canceled because typhoon struck Kinki area.  I was free today.  However I went to uni afternoon and I discussed about presentation contest which I am going to participate in with my partner. 

 I haven't cooked new dishes recently, so this blog homework gives me opportunities to cook new dishes.  I cooked Donburi using seasonal vegitable; eggplant.  This is it. 

Donburi is a Japanese food that ingredients are served over rice in oversized bowl.  You can put anything you like on rice.  I put eggplant, onion, cabbage and pork.  I seasoned it with sauce which soy sauce, suggar, sake and vinegar were mixed.  It was tasty but I wanted more thick taste.  I wonder what to add in the sauce next time.
