  • (6/12) How to Keep Tropical Plants Through the Winter
    AUDIO How to Keep Tropical Plants Through the Winter     Are you dreaming of a vacation to a warm place next to the sea?   You may be thinking of sitting under a palm tree, or next to a banana plant. Or you may dream of walking on a faraway island in the tropics surrounded by colorful flowers such as birds of paradise and cannas.   Tropical plants make us feel like we are in warm places with a pleasing climate. In cold climates, these plants can grow outside during the summer. But they suffer in cold weather.   The gardening expert for the Associated Press, Jessica Damiano, says most people in the United States have to treat tropical plants like annuals because they do not survive cold winters. An annual plant is one that dies after one growing season.   Following her guidelines you will find out how to save both tropical plants and money. You also can make future summers at home feel like an exotic getaway.         Colocasia   If you bought potted elephant ear plants, also called Colocasia, cannas or caladiums, bring the pots inside instead of putting them into the waste collection. Place them near a sunny window, water often and fertilize as directed with ordinary houseplant fertilizer at half strength.   If the plants are too big for the house or have been planted in the garden, leave them outdoors until the first frost turns their leaves brown. Then cut the plants down to 15 centimeters tall and dig them up.   Rinse and separate their roots, which might have small, rounded parts, and let them dry completely. Then prepare a box with some air holes and peat moss to store the roots. Place the box or container in a cool, dark place.   Examine them once a month, adding water if they seem to be drying out, and throw out any rotten pieces. Plant outdoors and fertilize when the soil has warmed up to 16 degrees Celsius in spring. You also can start them indoors in potting mix one month earlier. Set them by your sunniest window or under grow lights, keeping the soil a little wet.         Potted hibiscus and angel trumpets   Gardeners should also bring potted hibiscus and angel trumpets, also known as Brugmansia, indoors before the first frost. Treat them as houseplants by placing them next to a sunny window during winter. These plants may lose their leaves, but they will come back in the spring.   If there is no room for the plants in your living space, you can help them get through winter by storing pots at six to seven degrees Celsius. Examine them twice a month and water them very lightly when the soil feels dry at finger depth.   Before moving them outdoors, place the plants in a warm, sunny spot. Lightly prune them, water and fertilize the plants about one month before it is safe to move them back outdoors.         Banana plants   Potted banana plants should be cut down to soil level when the first frost browns their leaves. Store the containers in a dark place at roughly six to seven degrees Celsius. Look at the soil monthly, watering very lightly only when completely dry. Growth will begin again in spring but keep the plants indoors until the danger of frost has passed. Fertilize and resume regular watering.   Do not cut back bananas that are growing in the ground in the fall. Just dig them up and contain their roots in a plastic waste bag. Store them as you would a potted banana plant. Cut them down to 15 centimeters in spring and plant them in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.   Then, put the money you would have spent on new plants toward a water container, a firepit or tropical fruit juice. You can then sit back and enjoy your tropical backyard oasis.                                   ______________________________________________ Words in This Story tropics – n. the part of the world that is near the equator where the weather is very warm exotic – adj. of a plant or animal - not living or growing naturally in a particular area: from another part of the world potted – adj. grown in a pot, a round container usually made out of clay, ceramic or plastic frost – n. a thin layer of ice that forms on the ground, on grass, etc., when the air becomes cold prune – v. to cut off some of the branches of (a tree or bush) so that it will grow better or look better oasis – n. an area in a desert where there is water and plants                                             https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/how-to-keep-tropical-plants-through-the-winter/7854261.html

  • (6/11) Researchers in Michigan Aim to Grow Stronger Apple Trees
    AUDIO     Researchers in Michigan Aim to Grow Stronger Apple Trees           Researchers in the U.S. state of Michigan are looking for ways to help apple trees survive bad weather. To do this, one researcher plans to use a late bloomer.   The late blooming tree is a native Michigan apple tree known by the scientific name Malus coronaria. To fight freezing temperatures, the tree blooms two or three weeks later than trees that produce cultivated varieties of apples like Honeycrisp or Red Delicious.   “That doesn’t sound like a lot, but almost always that’s enough for the flowers to escape the killing spring frost,” said Steve van Nocker. He is a professor and plant geneticist at Michigan State University.   Van Nocker wants to identify the genes responsible for the Malus coronaria’s delayed blooms. Then he will use those genes to develop more frost-resistant apple varieties.   Van Nocker’s project is one of many ways researchers and growers are trying to make apples more resilient. They say this is important because of climate change.   Other researchers are making similar efforts.   Jared Buono is the director of Cornell University’s Hudson Valley Research Laboratory in New York state. Buono’s lab is adding solar panels to its experimental orchard. He said growers are experimenting with solar panels in Europe and South Korea. The panels protect fruit from hail and sun damage but also let in light and heat when necessary.   University of Maryland researchers recently announced the development of a more heat-tolerant apple variety. At Penn State University in Pennsylvania, a team built an unmanned vehicle that uses propane fuel to warm trees up as it moves around an orchard.   Buono said these efforts can ease the effects of bad weather. On May 18, 2023, frost damaged trees across New York state and cut apple production by 20 percent.   A recent Washington State University study examined weather in apple growing areas from 1979 to 2022. It said the top apple producing states of Washington, Michigan and New York reported fewer cold days and more warm fall nights than they used to. Washington state also has reported more extreme heat.   The study said warming temperatures could cause trees to come out of dormancy too early and increase the risk of sunburn. This hurts the quality of apples.   Malus coronaria is also called sweet crabapple. It was once so common in Michigan that its blossoms were named the state flower in 1897. But, van Nocker said it appears to be disappearing. The trees that remain often produce little new growth or fruit.   Van Nocker and graduate student Lily Christian recently took cuttings from some trees. They will test them to make sure they are fully Malus coronaria and not a hybrid variety. Then, the cuttings will be grafted onto apple rootstock. They hope to get healthy trees using this method.   Their goal is to identify the genes that cause late blooming and create a variety of apple that can be sold in markets. Van Nocker is also sending seeds to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. If the tree continues to disappear, he hopes to save its genes this way.   Making a later-blooming commercial apple could take more than 10 years. If a Malus coronaria is crossbred with a commercial apple tree to make a new hybrid, it would take four or five years for that tree to start producing apples.   Crossbreeding would continue until researchers developed an apple with the desired qualities of both varieties.   But van Nocker said it is important to try.   “With climate change, it’s quite possible that apples won’t be able to be produced in Michigan in the future,” he said. “That’s why cultivar improvement, especially in terms of frost resistance, is so important.”                                 ___________________________________ Words in This Story bloomer –n. a plant that produces flowers at a certain time of year cultivated variety –n. a kind of plant that has been specifically developed for use in agriculture or in people’s gardens frost –n. a layer of ice that can develop on plants when temperatures fall below freezing which damages fruit resilient –adj. able to withstand shocks or bad treatment and return to normal orchard –n. an area or farm where fruit trees are grown solar panel –n. a device that turns sunlight into direct electrical current tolerant –adj. able to withstand difficult or bad conditions dormancy –n. a state, during winter or dry conditions, when a plant does not grow but saves its energy for the growing season hybrid –n. a variety of plant that comes from the combination of genetic material from two or more plants graft –v. to take a cutting from one plant and attach it to another so that it grows, flowers and produces fruit rootstock –n.

  • (6/10) Scientists Fear Bird Flu Pandemic Coming
    AUDIO       Scientists Fear Bird Flu Pandemic Coming             Scientists studying the spread of bird flu in the United States say they worry about a lack of data in tracking the virus, called Type A H5N1.   In recent months, the disease has spread to 129 groups of cows across 12 states. Experts have identified the disease in other mammals, as well, from alpacas to house cats.   The scientists are concerned about rising cases among cows. They say the increase probably means the virus has been changing. They say such changes could make it easier for the virus to spread from animals to humans.   Three people in the U.S. have tested positive for H5N1 bird flu since late March after being in close contact with cows.   Scott Hensley is a professor of microbiology at the University of Pennsylvania. He said the threat of a pandemic is currently low but could rise quickly.   Health officials say the earlier they know about cases of human infection, the sooner they can take steps to reduce its spread.   The U.S. government tests cows for the virus. However, those tests are currently limited to cows crossing state borders. Government health officials and pandemic flu experts told Reuters news agency there is very little testing of people who come into contact with sick cattle.         Human and animal health agencies sometimes differ in the ways they deal with the flu. Experts say these differences could make it harder to respond quickly to an outbreak.   Still, a U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesperson said the agency is working “around the clock” with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in a “whole-of-government response". The spokesperson added that research shows "America’s food supply remains safe, sick cows generally recover after a few weeks, and the risk to human health remains low.”   Some pandemics, including COVID-19, arrive with little warning. In the last flu pandemic, caused by H1N1 in 2009, the virus had first spread among animals for several years, Hensley said. But he added that more tracking of the virus would have helped health officials prepare.   The CDC estimates that between about 150,000 and half a million people died worldwide during the 2009 pandemic.   The World Health Organization (WHO) says there is no evidence of H5N1 spreading from human to human. For that reason, the WHO says the risk to humans is currently low.   Wenqing Zhang is the head of the WHO’s Global Influenza Preparedness agency. She said health organizations have ways to launch large production of tests, treatments and vaccines if needed.         The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is a non-profit based in Oslo, Norway. The organization works to develop vaccines and other ways to fight against pandemics.   CEPI aims to create a collection of vaccines for viruses that could cause pandemics. This would help drugmakers start large production and deliver the medicine where necessary within 100 days of an outbreak.   Some countries are taking steps to protect people against H5N1. The U.S. and Europe are gathering “pre-pandemic” flu vaccine that could be used for high-risk groups, including farm or lab workers.   Zhang, of the WHO, said expanding vaccines to more people is complex. Makers of pandemic flu vaccines make seasonal flu shots and cannot produce both at once, she said.   Most flu vaccines are made using virus grown in eggs. That means it could take up to six months to produce pandemic shots. However, mRNA vaccines can be produced more quickly. On July 2, the U.S. government gave $176 million to drug-maker Moderna to finish development and testing of their mRNA vaccine against H5N1.   Experts also say there is a need to balance quick action against reacting too strongly to virus threats.   Wendy Barcla is a virologist at Imperial College London. She also advises the UK Health Security Agency on bird flu. She said health officials want to give warnings "without saying the world is about to end."                                   https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/scientists-fear-bird-flu-pandemic-coming/7684090.html

  • [6/13]中国新能源汽车欧洲突围 加力布局海外市场
                  　　中国新能源汽车，正在重绘全球汽车产业版图。   　　2025年4月，中国车企比亚迪在欧洲市场的纯电动车注册量首次超过特斯拉。据市场研究公司Jato Dynamics数据，比亚迪当月注册量同比增长169%，特斯拉同比下降49%。   　　尽管比亚迪在欧洲市场的注册量整体排名中位列第十，但首次“反超”特斯拉，仍被外媒视为一个象征性的节点——中国新能源汽车企业正在改写欧洲汽车市场格局。   　　Jato分析师穆诺兹分析，这一变化是欧洲市场的“分水岭”，反映出比亚迪在该地区的强势扩张。   　　在传统汽车巨头林立的欧洲市场，尤其是奔驰、宝马、奥迪等BBA品牌的“主场”，中国车企的崛起并不轻松。2024年11月，欧盟对中国制造的纯电动车征收最高45.3%的关税，意图构筑贸易壁垒，保护本土车企。   　　而在新能源领域，纯电巨头特斯拉十余年前就开始布局欧洲市场，远早于中国企业，并长期占据欧洲最受欢迎外资电动车品牌的地位。   　　但即便如此，中国品牌依旧实现持续增长，成为欧洲汽车市场不可忽视的新势力。 　　这一突破，是中国汽车产业链厚积薄发的直接体现。   　　过去十余年，中国逐步构建起从整车制造到电池研发再到智能驾驶系统的全链条体系。在此基础上，即使面对高关税，中国汽车品牌依然凭借更优的成本结构和更快的产品节奏打入海外主流市场。   　　《纽约时报》认为，尽管欧盟为保护本土厂商加征关税，中国电动车价格仍低于欧洲本土竞品。   　　2025年4月，中国品牌纯电车在欧洲销量同比增长59%，高于欧洲、日韩及美国车企26%的增幅。   　　在受欧盟关税限制更小的插混动力车型方面，中国品牌涨势更是迅猛。以比亚迪为例，其包含该车型的4月销量同比增长超过300%。   　　中国汽车工业协会数据显示，2025年前4个月，中国汽车产销量历史上首次双双突破1000万辆。其中，新能源汽车出口64.2万辆，同比增长52.6%。   　　2025年，中国汽车品牌加力布局海外市场，比亚迪宣布进军瑞士市场，小鹏汽车开拓巴林市场，智己汽车登陆澳大利亚。奇瑞、上汽等车企甚至组建自有远洋运输船队，从“借船出海”走向“造船出海”，积极争取远洋航运主动权。   　　与此同时，产业链出海同步推进。宁德时代宣布将斥资12亿美元在印尼投建电池工厂，比亚迪在匈牙利的首家欧洲整车工厂将投产，长城汽车加快推动巴西本土数字化汽车工厂建设。   　　中国企业凭借持续的技术投入和研发创新，在车型、配置、续航以及对市场需求的响应速度等方面，展现出强大的综合竞争力。   　　业内分析认为，随着中国车企海外工厂建设推进、自有运力增强，以及全球贸易环境紧张局面趋缓，中国汽车海外销量有望持续提升，迎来更大发展机遇。   　　当越来越多中国新能源汽车行驶在全球街道，中国汽车产业正以全链路优势完成从“制造出海”到“体系出海”的跃迁。                                                          https://www.chinanews.com.cn/cj/2025/06-05/10427075.shtml

  • [6/12]全球农创客训练营走进云南以“咖”会友 云南咖啡如何带着中国印记走向世界？
                ※ mp3 파일 참고 :   "LINK"  링크 클릭해주시면  mp3 포함되어 있습니다 :)               不久前，由联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）与浙江大学、拼多多联合主办的2025年全球农创客训练营走进云南大理，来自8个国家的青年农业创业者在共话农业创新中以“咖”会友，肯尼亚、乌干达、秘鲁、埃塞俄比亚等知名产区的咖啡与云南咖啡同台“竞技”。   全球农创客品鉴云南咖啡（记者韩雪莹 摄）   在咖啡品鉴与盲测环节，不同风味的咖啡撞击着农创客们的味蕾，从细微的口感差异中精准匹配咖啡豆的原产地，现场每一位交流者都迫切地想打开这道“咖啡风味密码”。一位来自秘鲁的农创客将云南咖啡盲评为产自埃塞俄比亚。位于非洲之角的埃塞俄比亚被誉为咖啡的“故乡”，这里的咖啡在国际市场久负盛名。“这说明云南咖啡或许和埃塞俄比亚咖啡有着相似的品质”，各国交流者不约而同留下这样的印象。   风味之余，云南咖啡“土法炮制”的工艺对农创客有着更强的吸引力。晒干的咖啡生豆经杵臼脱壳、铁锅焙炒、石磨碾粉、土罐煮沸，制作成一壶醇香浓郁的咖啡。将咖啡倒入装有花生碎的陶杯中，香浓诱人的咖啡香气混合坚果的芬芳四散而来。一位来自埃塞俄比亚的农创客第一次体验用石头磨盘磨碎咖啡豆，她说回国后要把这份神奇美妙的经历分享给身边的朋友。   埃塞俄比亚农创客体验朱苦拉咖啡古法制作技艺（记者韩雪莹 摄）   如此古法制作出的咖啡，有一个神秘好听的名字——朱苦拉，它与大理州宾川县平川镇的古老村寨朱苦拉村同名，彝语译为“弯弯曲曲的小路”。朱苦拉村是中国咖啡的发源地，1904年，法国传教士田德能引进了从越南带入的阿拉比卡铁皮卡咖啡苗，开启了朱苦拉村的咖啡种植之旅。他当时亲手栽下的24棵古咖啡树，至今还有23棵存活且产豆。当地彝族村民发现咖啡果实晒干后煮水喝能提神，从此代代种植，形成了中国最古老的咖啡林。   朱苦拉咖啡大理区主理人叶鹏介绍：“在中国其他地方，待客的礼仪都是用茶、水果、干果，但是在朱苦拉村，客人来了都是用古法咖啡招待，大家对咖啡的情怀和认知是祖祖辈辈传下来的。村民会把咖啡豆焙炒研磨成极细的粉，然后在烧得漆黑的大茶壶里煮好，直接给客人倒到杯子里喝。这是‘中国咖啡历史的活化石’，对于中国咖啡文化来讲意义非凡，比如制饮流程，就能充分体现中国农耕文化和西方文明的碰撞、结合。”   朱苦拉咖啡通常用陶杯饮用（记者韩雪莹 摄）   2013年，“宾川朱苦拉咖啡”注册为中国地理标志证明商标；2016年被批准为国家地理标志保护产品；2017年，平川朱苦拉咖啡制作技艺被列入第四批省级非物质文化遗产项目名录。在本土咖啡师李冬梅的理解中，咖啡可以是现代的、精致的，也可以是原生态的、豪放的，朱苦拉咖啡虽不追求标准化，却用质朴的土柴灶、石磨和世代相传的手艺，留住了一杯最原始的中国咖啡味道，是一种“褪去洋气的乡土甘苦”。   李冬梅说：“最先饮用咖啡的时候，还没有那么多高大上的器具，就利用现有的石磨，能磨豆子，那么磨咖啡也可以。煮制一定要用小火，能观察到咖啡油脂漂出来。喝的时候要带着咖啡渣，口感会多一个层次。有的人想喝甜一点的口味，我们会加红糖、蜂蜜和花生碎。”   石磨碾粉后的朱苦拉咖啡（记者韩雪莹 摄）   咖啡颗粒小而饱满，味道浓而不苦、香而不烈，略带果酸，口感细腻，这是以朱苦拉咖啡为代表的云南咖啡的别致风味。作为中国咖啡的种植源头，云南的地理环境、气候条件与咖啡的生长“天然适配”，叶鹏解释，特别是云南阶梯式的立体海拔、多元化的山川地貌，为咖啡的“本土化”提供了得天独厚的条件。   “世界咖啡种植带只有南北纬25°这个区间，但是对于咖啡的种植，不是有土地就行，还需要一定的海拔高度、日照、水分和土壤营养。云南就是这种特殊的地理环境，比如大理虽然处在北纬26°，但却处在一个相对封闭的干热河谷地带，可以说是纬度最高的咖啡。像云南咖啡的主产区保山、普洱，这里种植的咖啡都能保证高产和高品质，而且海拔越高，它的生长周期越长，咖啡豆的营养和风味也就越好。”叶鹏表示。   传统铁锅焙炒咖啡豆（记者韩雪莹 摄）   云南的咖啡农常说这样一句话，“每一粒咖啡豆都藏着阳光的味道”。2024年，云南省咖啡种植面积126.7万亩、产量14.6万吨，均占全国的98%以上，稳坐中国咖啡产地的“头把交椅”。而从2022年云南省出台“咖六条”等一系列政策，支持云南咖啡走精品化、精深加工之路后，经过3年努力，云南咖啡的精品率已由2021年的8%提升至31.6%，精深加工率已由2021年的20%提升至80%。据昆明海关统计，2024年云南省出口咖啡3.25万吨，同比增长358%，远销至荷兰、德国、美国、越南等29个国家和地区。从田间地头到全球消费者的杯中香醇，云南咖啡精研每颗豆、细调一杯咖，正重塑世界对中国咖啡的味觉印象。   叶鹏表示：“现在中国每年都有上百场国内、国际各种形式的咖啡大赛，中国咖啡在国际上的口碑影响力很好，而且也接连获得国际大奖。精品咖啡在云南可以说随处可见，我们大部分咖啡豆都会‘出海’，尤其是欧洲，很多国家现在都在用我们的咖啡豆。”   云南咖啡（记者韩雪莹 摄）   如今的云南咖啡正带着中国印记改写“西方定义风味”的历史。当然，从“卖咖啡”到“卖生活”，云南咖啡也在走进更多场景。大理洱海边，海景咖啡成为一种潮流；丽江雪山下，“云边咖啡馆”照进现实……此刻，咖啡不仅是饮品，更是对生活的致敬，“始于山水、归于烟火”的美好，或许可以从一杯云南咖啡开始。而在更多像叶鹏这样的云南咖啡人的心里，是时候拥有属于我们的“咖啡自信”了。   “现在，云南咖啡的内销供不应求，增长速度每年高达47%，而且人均咖啡消费量也在逐年递增。中国的咖啡市场是世界上未开发和正在开发的最大蓝海市场，我们要把中国咖啡的历史讲述好，把精品路线走好。我更希望中国人在写字楼的茶水间或者在自己家的书屋里，不仅有一个小茶台，还有一个咖啡吧，喝的就是云南咖啡。”叶鹏表示。                                                     https://china.cnr.cn/gdgg/20250602/t20250602_527192700.shtml

  • [6/11]茄子、辣椒、黄瓜、番茄，这些蔬菜咋挑选
                          茄子、辣椒、黄瓜、番茄   　　这些蔬菜咋挑选(信息服务台)   　　如何在菜篮子里挑出蔬菜中的“尖子生”，是很多人关注的话题。日前，记者采访中国农业科学院蔬菜花卉研究所研究员舒金帅，针对茄子、辣椒、黄瓜、番茄四类蔬菜，为消费者支“挑选妙招”。   　　茄子：看“果环”辨嫩度，掂重量验水分     　　茄子是家庭餐桌的常客，其富含的花青素和膳食纤维对健康颇有益处。挑选时，首先观察表皮光泽，“紫茄要选深紫发亮的，绿茄则以亮绿均一为佳，表皮发白或斑驳的可能存放较久。”舒金帅说。   　　关键细节在果环：茄子萼片与果实连接处的白色带状环越大，说明茄子越嫩。手感上，新鲜茄子捏起来软硬适中有弹性，过软可能内部腐烂，过硬则可能是纤维老化。此外，果柄和萼片鲜绿带刺的茄子相对新鲜，在同等体积下，较重的茄子，水分会更足、口感更鲜嫩。   　　辣椒：按“用途”选品种，观“紧实”辨新鲜   　　甜椒适合怕辣人群，应选果肉厚实的；尖椒、线椒辣度中等，适合调味；小米辣辣味浓烈，少量即可提味。   　　新鲜度判断看三点：表皮颜色要鲜艳(红椒全红、青椒鲜绿)，无褶皱或黑斑；轻捏时紧实饱满，软塌的可能失水；果柄需翠绿牢固，发黄或脱落的已不新鲜。舒金帅特别提醒，甜椒若出现局部软烂，可能是内部开始腐坏，不宜选购。   　　黄瓜：“小刺”“硬度”双指标，清香扑鼻更放心   　　“黄瓜是夏季补水佳品，挑选大棚黄瓜时，要避开‘激素嫌疑’。”舒金帅说，新鲜黄瓜表面应有均匀小刺，轻触易脱落，刺稀疏或脱落的多为老黄瓜。颜色需整体翠绿、两端不发黄，“颜色过深可能使用了激素，要谨慎。”   　　手感方面，紧实硬挺、按压无软陷的黄瓜更新鲜，发软的可能采摘时间长，易空心或腐坏。此外，凑近闻应有自然青草香，若带酸味或异味，可能是变质或农药残留所致。   　　番茄：自然成熟很关键，“弹性清香”是首选   　　市面上番茄品种繁多，如何区分自然成熟与催熟产品？   　　对于番茄，“自然成熟是关键”。自然成熟的番茄颜色均匀(全红、粉红或黄色)、表面有光泽，青红不均或颜色过艳的可能是催熟果。萼片鲜绿且与果实连接紧密，是新鲜的标志；若萼片发黑或脱落，说明存放较久。   　　触感上，轻按有弹性但不软烂的最佳，过硬的未成熟，过软的可能腐烂。自然成熟的番茄有明显清香味，催熟的则气味寡淡甚至无味，这是重要鉴别点。   　　选购蔬菜时，尽量避开表面异常光亮、有蜡质感或蓝色斑点的产品，这类蔬菜可能使用了保鲜剂或农药残留较多。优先选择根部切口白净、叶片无褐化的绿叶菜，如油麦菜、生菜等。   　　“记住‘看、摸、闻’三步法，结合不同蔬菜的特性细节，就能挑到新鲜健康的应季好菜。”舒金帅说。                                                          https://www.chinanews.com.cn/life/2025/06-04/10426613.shtml

  • 「6/12」奈良 子ジカの一般公開始まる
    奈良市の奈良公園にあるシカの保護施設で、生まれたばかりの子ジカの一般公開が始まりました。 国の天然記念物に指定されている「奈良のシカ」は5月ごろから出産の時期を迎え、奈良公園にある保護施設「鹿苑」では6月1日から60頭余りの子ジカを公開しています。 施設では、体重およそ3キロから6キロの子ジカが鳴き声をあげながら母ジカにくっついて乳を飲んだり元気に走り回ったりしています。 訪れた人たちは、子ジカの愛くるしい姿を写真に収めるなどして楽しんでいました。 奈良市の6歳の男の子は「小さいシカがぴょんぴょんしていてかわいかったです」と話していました。 公園のシカを保護している奈良の鹿愛護会事業課の石川周課長は「ことしは涼しい日が続き、子ジカたちは元気に走り回っています。出産して間もない母ジカは攻撃的になっているので、公園内で子ジカを見つけても近づかず、離れて見守ってほしい」と話していました。 一般公開は7月14日まで、毎日、午前10時から午後4時まで行われています。

    ゲーム大手の任天堂は、新型ゲーム機「ニンテンドースイッチ2」を5日発売しました。公式通販サイトでは、抽せん販売の応募に厳しい条件を設けたほか、フリマサイトへの不正な出品を防止するために運営会社と連携するなど、転売対策に力を入れています。 事前に抽せん 応募へ厳しい条件設定など対策も 任天堂は新型のゲーム機「ニンテンドースイッチ2」を5日発売し、価格は国内専用版が4万9980円となっています。 新型のゲーム機の発売は、8年ぶりです。 公式通販サイトでは事前に抽せん販売が行われ、応募にあたって「ニンテンドースイッチ」のソフトのプレー時間が50時間以上で、有料会員に1年以上加入しているという厳しい条件を設けました。 また、フリマサイトへの不正な出品を防ぐために運営会社3社と協力することで合意していて、転売対策に力を入れています。 一方、家電量販店各社は、過去の購入履歴や会員登録などの一定の応募条件を設けて抽せん販売を行っています。 東京 池袋にある大手家電量販店の店舗では、午前10時に販売が始まると、当選した人たちが長い列をつくって1台ずつ受け取っていました。 都内に住む40代の男性は「公式サイトの抽せんは外れてしまいましたが、こちらで当選できたので、会社を休んで受け取りに来ました。きょうは家族と夜まで遊びたいと思います」と話していました。 また、埼玉県の20代の女性は「先着順にすると買い占めが起きる可能性があるので抽せんは賛成です。外れることもありますが、本当に買いたい人が買える仕組みはよいことだと思います」と話していました。 任天堂は、来年3月末までに国内外でおよそ1500万台の販売を目指すとしています。
