The cooler days have made it easier to spend time in the city, and it has completely turned into autumn. There are many ways to enjoy autumn, such as enjoying the arts, engaging in sports, and reading books, but the most exciting autumn event in recent years is probably Halloween. Halloween has become a well established event in Japan, and events are held here and there in autumn. Because of this image, many people may think that Halloween is just a festival where people dress up in costumes and have fun. However, it was originally a traditional event with a long history to celebrate the harvest. In this issue, we will introduce the origin, history, and hidden anecdotes of Halloween. We've also created a quiz about Halloween, so give it a try! Table of Contents 01What is Halloween? When is Halloween? Origins of Halloween The Beginning of Halloween in Japan At Disney Halloween Why do we dress up as 02? 03The meaning of Trick or Treat 04Halloween is Pumpkin Anecdotes about Jack-o'-lanterns 05Halloween Miscellaneous Quiz 06Summary What is Halloween? Halloween is a traditional event that has been celebrated for over 2000 years. It was a religious event to celebrate the fall harvest and to drive out evil spirits. Halloween was originally called "All Hallows Eve" because it was a festival held on the eve of All Hallow's Day (All Saints' Day), which was designated by Christianity on November 1. It is said that the name "Halloween" was derived from this. When is Halloween? Halloween is an event that takes place on October 31. It was originally a Celtic festival called "Sawin" from Ireland. Since the Celtic calendar changed to November 1, they held a harvest festival on October 31, the turn of the year, to celebrate harvest and fertility. Origins of Halloween The Celts believed that on October 31, the end of the year, a doorway to the afterlife opens. It was a day to celebrate harvest and fertility, as well as the return of the souls of the dead to their families. In Japan, it is a combination of "Omisoka," "Autumn Festival," and "Obon! Later in history, the Celtic culture came to the Americas with immigrants and came to be enjoyed as a highly entertaining event. In modern times, the religious flavor has faded and it is now enjoyed as an entertaining event. The Beginning of Halloween in Japan In Japan, "Kiddy Land" is said to be the pioneer of Halloween. In 1983, Kiddy Land held a Halloween parade in Omotesando, Harajuku, to promote sales of its products, but the number of participants was small and not many Japanese attended. [Reference] https://www.value-press.com/pressrelease/30185 At Disney Halloween It is said that Halloween gained recognition when Tokyo Disneyland held the Halloween-themed "Disney Halloween" in 1997. Nowadays, Halloween has become well established in Japan, with Halloween events held throughout the country in the fall. Back to Table of Contents Why do we dress up? As mentioned above, Halloween was originally a day for the souls of the dead to return, but it was also believed that demons, witches, and evil spirits would also come to this world to bring misfortune along with the souls of the dead. People would dress up in the same clothes and make-up as the demons and witches to make them feel like they were friends and to protect themselves. This custom led to the culture of dressing up for Halloween. In Japan, many people enjoy dressing up as witches, vampires, black cats, and other standard costumes, as well as anime and manga characters and celebrities. Back to Table of Contents Meaning of Trick or Treat On Halloween, after sunset, children in costumes visit their neighbors' houses saying "Trick or Treat! and visit houses in the neighborhood. When the children say "Trick or Treat," the adults usually reply "Happy Halloween! Trick or Treat" means, in Japanese, "Give me candy, or I'll make you do it! Trick" means "trick or treat" in Japanese. Trick" means "trick" or "trick" and "treat" means "treat" or "entertain. The custom of going from house to house to receive candy is said to have existed in the Celtic tradition since ancient times, and gradually spread and took root throughout the United States. Today, Halloween has become a central event for American children. Back to Table of Contents Halloween is all about pumpkins When you think of Halloween, you probably have a strong image of pumpkins hollowed out into scary faces. It is said that decorating a room with pumpkins with scary faces serves to ward off evil spirits by scaring them away from the afterlife. Originally, however, "turnips" were used. When Halloween was introduced to the U.S., pumpkins, which were harvested in large quantities in the U.S., were used as a substitute for the unfamiliar turnip. In Japan, where Halloween was introduced from the U.S., its influence is strong, and the image of Halloween = pumpkin has taken root. In Ireland, the home of Halloween, turnips are still used instead of pumpkins. Anecdotes about Jack-O-Lanterns In fact, the pumpkin hollowed out into a scary face is named "Jack O'Lantern. It comes from an anecdote in Ireland. There was a man named Jack who was always misbehaving. On Halloween, Jack almost lost his life to a demon he met by chance, but the demon deceived him and made him promise never to take his soul again. Jack's life is about to expire, and he hopes to go to heaven after his death, but he is unable to do so because of his misdeeds during his life. He has no choice but to try to go to hell, but the devil refuses to take him there, saying, "I promised I would not take your soul, so I cannot take you to hell. Jack was so distressed that he decided to go back the way he came, but it was dark and windy that night, so he begged the devil for a light. The Devil gave him a small hellfire, which he shared with Jack. Jack, not wanting the devil's flame to be extinguished by the wind, hollows out a turnip that was lying nearby and uses it as a lantern. Jack, now unable to go to heaven or hell, continues to wander forever in the dark with the turnip lantern in his hand.

When it comes to summer fruits, watermelon is the name of the game! What kind of image do you have of watermelon as a summer staple? Many of you may be thinking, "Watermelon has almost no nutritional value." Many of you may be thinking, "Watermelon has almost no nutritional value. However, watermelon actually contains many nutrients that lead to beauty! In this issue, we will introduce the nutritional content of watermelon, which is full of charm and sweetness. We have also prepared a quiz about watermelon, so please take a crack at it! Table of Contents 01Is watermelon a vegetable? A fruit? 02Is there any nutrition in watermelon? What nutrients does it contain? Lycopene Beta-carotene Citrulline 03Eat watermelon and lose weight! Watermelon as a regular snack Keeps you fuller than snacks Be careful not to overeat 04Take the watermelon trivia quiz! 05Summary Is watermelon a vegetable? A fruit? According to the classification by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, watermelon is considered a "fruity vegetable treated like a fruit," and besides watermelon, strawberries and melons are also treated as the same species. In other words, watermelon is both a vegetable and a fruit. In fact, there is no clear definition of watermelon classification, which varies depending on whether the producer or consumer is the one who is doing the growing. Although it is described as a "vegetable" in terms of plants and cultivation methods, it is often treated as a fruit in household surveys conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and in supermarkets. Reference] Please tell us how vegetables are classified. ｜Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Back to Table of Contents Watermelon has no nutrients? What nutrients does it contain? Watermelon, or "watermelon" in English, has a water content of about 901 TP2T in its flesh. You may think, "If it is mostly water, isn't there much nutrition in watermelon? However, watermelon actually contains various nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Here are three nutrients that are particularly effective for beauty. Reference] Large watermelon (watermelon) Lycopene Lycopene is a nutrient that is good for beauty as it suppresses melanin, which causes skin blemishes and dullness. When one thinks of foods that contain a lot of lycopene, tomatoes probably come to mind. In fact, watermelon contains more lycopene than tomatoes. Lycopene has a very strong antioxidant effect and works to remove active oxygen in the body. Reactive oxygen species are substances that are necessary for maintaining good health, such as fighting viruses that invade the body. However, when there is an excessive increase in reactive oxygen species, the body becomes oxidized, causing various skin problems. The main causes of increased reactive enzymes include smoking, stress, food additives in processed foods, and ultraviolet rays. In order to reduce body oxidation, actively consume nutrients with antioxidant properties to maintain beautiful skin. Reference] Tomato University Faculty of Medicine｜KAGOME CO. Beta-carotene Watermelon also contains β-carotene in amounts comparable to green and yellow vegetables such as spinach, pumpkin and carrot. When β-carotene is ingested, part of it is converted into vitamin A (retinol) in the body, which helps maintain normal skin and mucous membranes, and is a reassuring nutrient that prevents rough skin. The β-carotene that is not converted into vitamin A, like lycopene, has antioxidant properties and helps maintain beautiful skin. Reference] Research Material No. 9 Current Status of Functional Research on Vegetables and Future Research Issues | National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences (NIEA) Citrulline The scientific name for watermelon is "Citrullus vulgaris," and as the name suggests, it contains a large amount of a nutrient called "citrulline. Citrulline is also known as a super amino acid, and it helps alleviate skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays. When human skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, collagen is excessively broken down, causing damage to the skin. By taking citrulline, the breakdown of collagen is suppressed and skin elasticity is maintained. Not only does citrulline keep the skin firm, but it also helps to reduce the formation of dark spots and dark spots by expelling accumulated melanin pigment. Furthermore, citrulline is a natural moisturizing factor, which helps retain moisture in the skin. It also has the effect of widening blood vessels and improving blood flow, which will help reduce swelling. Incidentally, the white part of the watermelon rind contains about twice as much citrulline as the flesh, so it would be a shame to throw it away without eating it! It is recommended to eat the white part of the rind cooked in pickles or pickled vegetables. Reference] What is citrulline? | Kyowa Hakko Bio's Health Ingredients Laboratory Back to Table of Contents Eat watermelon and lose weight! Watermelon is a great food for weight loss. If you are on a diet, please try to include watermelon in your daily diet. Watermelon as a regular snack For those who usually snack, we recommend eating watermelon instead of sweet snacks. According to the Japanese Food Standard Composition by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, watermelon has about 37 kcal per 100 g, which is lower in calories than bananas and other fruits. Food Name Energy (kcal / 100 g) Watermelon (red flesh) 37 Banana 93 Kiwi (green meat) 51 Tangerine 49 Replacing your usual snacks with watermelon instead of high-calorie, fatty and sugary sweets will reduce calories without reducing the amount you eat. Source: Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan 2020 (8th revision)｜ Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Keeps you fuller longer than snacks According to an article published in the scientific journal Nutrients in 2019, eating watermelon instead of snacks keeps you feeling fuller and suppresses your appetite, leading to weight loss. A sustained feeling of fullness reduces the stress of dieting due to food restrictions, and since watermelon is more nutritious than snacks, watermelon is a recommended food for a healthy diet. Be careful not to overeat. Eating too much watermelon can lead to excessive water intake. Too much water intake can dilute stomach acid and cause indigestion or diarrhea. Also, because of the high water content, overeating can cool the body more than necessary. According to the Dietary Balance Guide by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the appropriate daily intake of watermelon is about 200 g (about one slice of watermelon), so be careful not to overeat.

We have introduced the various nutrients contained in watermelon, and have prepared a quiz to review what we have learned so far. There will be a total of 5 questions. Please take the challenge!

What is "flipped learning," aiming to raise the level of corporate training? Hello, I am Takemoto of the Marketing Department. It has been two months since I joined the company... I am now in the OJT training program. I am sure that there are many companies that are currently conducting training as we are. However "Is it safe to conduct the same training as before?" "We have training programs, but they are not as effective as we had expected..." "What kind of training should we provide? What kind of training should we provide? We are sure that those of you in charge of training have had the experience of thinking, "What kind of training should we provide? Even if you have prepared a variety of training programs, it is meaningless if the participants do not show "training results". In order to solve such problems, I would like to recommend the introduction of "flipped learning. By introducing flipped learning into corporate training, participants can learn practical skills more efficiently. In this paper, we will introduce an overview of flipped learning, its merits and demerits, and the expected effects of introducing flipped learning into corporate training programs. Click here for Table of Contents What is the educational method of flipped learning? Advantages and Disadvantages of Implementing Flipped Learning Expected Benefits of Flipped Learning for Corporate Training QuizGenerator" for creating flipped learning materials Summary What is the teaching method for flipped learning? Reversed learning is called "flipped learning" because it "reverses" previous learning methods. Normally, students acquire knowledge in class and consolidate it at home. In contrast, flipped learning is a learning method in which students acquire knowledge through "e-learning" and "video materials" before class, and then consolidate their knowledge through "group work" and "exercises" in class. Advantages and disadvantages of using flipped learning While there are many advantages to implementing inverted learning for teachers and students, there are also disadvantages. Let's look at what advantages and disadvantages there are. Advantage 1. Self-paced learning In flipped learning, students study the content of the class at home before taking the class. Therefore, you can learn at your own pace. Students can spend more time on areas they do not understand. You can study the lesson content over and over again, so you can understand the content. The above allows you to study at your own pace and deepen your understanding. Advantage 2. Increased motivation to learn In flipped learning, students can ask questions about content they did not understand in prior learning. Through group work, students can ask questions of the teacher and other students to better consolidate their understanding. Therefore, it is expected that students will feel that they enjoyed and understood the material, which will motivate them to learn more. Advantage 3. Students' level of understanding can be checked. In flipped learning, there is no need to explain the content of the class, so teachers and students have more time to engage directly with each other. This allows teachers to quickly identify and instruct students who are having difficulty with class content. For teachers, being able to check students' understanding on the spot is a great advantage. Disadvantage 1. Need to set aside time for learning Flipped learning requires students to study in advance before class. This is a factor that can reduce student motivation... Therefore, it is necessary to support students so that they can study well in advance. Disadvantage 2. It takes time and effort to prepare teaching materials and training. The teacher needs to create the learning materials for the students, which is time-consuming and costly. For example, it is time-consuming to prepare training materials while also performing other duties. So, how can we reduce the time and cost? It is... By using e-learning, you can reduce the time and cost. What is e-learning? What is e-Learning? What is e-Learning Overview About e-Learning This page introduces the origin of e-Learning, a brief description, and our e-Learning system. Overview The benefits of e-Learning... Benefits of Flipped Learning Expected from Corporate Training The benefits of "flipped learning" are not limited to educational settings. It has been introduced into many corporate training programs as an educational method for human resource development. Here, we will introduce the effects of "flipped learning" in corporate training, comparing it with conventional corporate training. Conventional Corporate Training There are cases in which participants are not able to demonstrate their abilities in the field or in practice even though conventional corporate training is conducted. The reasons for this are Some participants do not understand the content of the training. Because the training is just a listening session Participants' knowledge and skills are not consistent. When the above occurs, time and costs are wasted. However, by utilizing "flipped learning," training can be conducted in a state where knowledge is firmly established. Introducing Flipped Learning into Corporate Training In conventional corporate training programs, most of the content is knowledge, which cannot be applied to practical work. However, by introducing flipped learning into training, participants can acquire "more effective learning and more practical skills" compared to conventional training. The reasons for this are Participants are more motivated to learn if they know in advance that the training is practical. Participants can improve their skills through role-playing, discussions, and other practical activities. Participants can review the videos at a later date to consolidate their understanding of the material they did not understand. By introducing flipped learning in corporate training, the effects of training can be demonstrated in practical work. It also improves the motivation of participants to learn and further enhances the quality of training.

It is said that this is a natural mechanism that the body has as a living creature. In addition, in winter, the daylight hours become shorter and people spend more time indoors due to the cold weather. As a result, the human body has less time to be exposed to light, which is said to cause hibernation-like symptoms. We can improve this situation by consciously exposing ourselves to sunlight and warming our bodies, so let's keep this in mind. You'll be lucky to meet one! Take the Winter Animals Living in Japan Quiz The cold-tolerant animals in this quiz live in Hokkaido.

Recommended for Working Professionals!" 3 study methods for your skimming time. Hello everyone, it is nice to meet you. My name is Takemoto, and I joined the company in November of this year. You will probably see me on the QuizGenerator blog from now on. I look forward to working with you. The theme of this month's article is. [Recommended for Working People! Three study methods in your spare time. This article is recommended for people who I am too busy with work and cannot find time to study. Want to know how to study efficiently I want to make the most of my study time. I want to make the most of my study time. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. Click here for the Table of Contents 1. Study method 1: Listening and studying in your spare time 2. Study Method 2: Reading Reference Books 3. Study Method 3: Study with QuizGenerator 4. Conclusion Study Method 1: Study by Listening and Streaming Let me quickly introduce you to the study by listening. What is "kikiyori-nagashi" study? A listen-and-learn study is as follows Listening to English audio Listening to videos from schools and other sources. Listening to your own recordings Listening to your own recordings. In other words, you can acquire skills and knowledge just by listening to them. Is it effective just by listening and playing along? In conclusion, simply listening is not effective. If you keep on listening, you will not be able to understand what you hear. If you continue to leave unfamiliar content unattended, you will not be able to understand it. It is only a supplementary study method. For example Have you ever had the experience of not being able to concentrate on what the other person is saying because you are concerned about what the other person is saying when they say something you don't understand? In the same way, when you study by listening, you cannot continue to study because you are distracted by terms you don't understand. Therefore, you should understand the content you do not understand beforehand before proceeding with your study of the listening comprehension. Tips for kikinori-nagashi study Earlier, we mentioned that simply listening is not effective. However, knowing the tips of kikiyori-nagashi study will increase the effectiveness of your learning. 1. Start with content that is appropriate for your level. Instead of suddenly starting with difficult content, start with content that you can understand. If you don't understand a term you don't understand, you won't understand it even if you listen to it. When learning something new, it is easier to concentrate and more motivated to study if you start from an easy place. Therefore, start studying from the content that is appropriate for your level. 2. Listen with the content in mind from time to time. Try to listen to the lesson with an awareness of what content you are currently studying, even if it is just to check. This will help you understand the content by organizing it in your mind. When you listen to others, it is easier for them to visualize what you are trying to say if you organize it in your mind instead of just listening to them. Try listening with an awareness of the content, even if it is only once in a while. 3. Repeat input and output The relationship between input and output is important for achieving results. No matter how much knowledge and experience you input, if you do not output it well, it will not necessarily lead to results and achievements. When a person repeatedly outputs input information, it will be retained in his or her memory. For example Have you ever looked at a kanji or English word that you had inputted once and could not remember how to read it? Have you ever had such an experience? If you have such an experience, it may be due to a lack of output. By using what you have learned in your studies (output), you can make it stick more firmly in your mind. Therefore, in the same way that you study by listening, you should actually output what you hear. By following the above methods, your comprehension will improve and the content will naturally take root in your mind. In addition, listening to the same content over and over again will further improve your comprehension. Study method 2 that can be done in your spare time: Read reference books From here, we will introduce the study method of reading reference books. Be careful when buying reference books When you start studying, don't you end up buying a lot of reference books? I also buy a lot of reference books, thinking "I like this one" or "Oh, this one is good too. This one is good too. However, this is the wrong way. Here is why. You buy a lot of reference books and feel satisfied. You feel like you've done a lot of studying just by buying reference books. They give up on studying. Therefore, think about why you need to buy reference books. Buying one reference book is enough. There is no need to buy a lot of them because many of the contents are similar. Before buying a reference book, make sure you have a clear purpose as to why you need it. Note that buying a reference book without a clear purpose will not motivate you. Read reference books as if you were reading a book. It is effective to study by reading reference books in your spare time. This is because Because you can grasp the whole of the reference book. Reading a book over and over again improves your understanding of the contents. Let me introduce what the above means in detail. 1. Because you can grasp the entirety of the reference book. First of all, you should read the book from beginning to end. This is because you will be able to grasp the contents of the exam and check your weak points. If you understand the entire contents, you can focus on your goal, and your motivation will increase as your goal becomes clearer. Also, if you don't understand something, put a sticky note or marker on it. This will allow you to keep track of what you don't understand and will come in handy later when you read it over and over again. Therefore, start by grasping the entire reference book. 2. Reading a book over and over again will improve your understanding of its contents. Reading a reference book only once is not enough to understand its contents. Textbooks and books cannot be understood just by reading them once, so they must be read repeatedly. The same is true of reference books: by reading them repeatedly, you will be able to retain the content in your memory and understand it. Study method 3: Study with QuizGenerator From here, we will introduce QuizGenerator. What is Quizgenerator? QuizGenerator is a web service that allows anyone to create original questions for free.
