More and more animals are becoming endangered. Why is this and what can we do to help? 

After 15 months, three Israeli hostages have left Hamas captivity as a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold on the morning of January 19.

Dozens of Palestinian prisoners also walked free from Israeli jail as the skies above Gaza and Israel were silent for the first time in over a year, stirring modest hopes for ending the Israel-Hamas war.

The ceasefire deal, with an initial phase lasting six weeks, calls for the entry into Gaza of 600 trucks carrying humanitarian relief daily. Over the course of the deal's first stage, 33 Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza will also be released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Many Israelis stayed glued to TV screens to glimpse the three hostages — Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher — being released as militants handed them over to the Red Cross on a packed street in Gaza City.

In videos released by the Israeli government, the women were seen weeping and hugging family members. Damari raised a bandaged hand in triumph.

The military said she lost two fingers in the Hamas-led militant attack on October 7, 2023, that killed over 1,200 people and resulted in the abduction of some 250 others.

Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, crowds flooded the streets around 1 a.m. on January 20 as white buses carrying 90 Palestinian detainees — all women or teens — exited the gates of Ofer prison.

Fireworks erupted, and several men climbed atop one of the buses to raise Hamas flags.

All of those being released had been detained for what Israel called offenses related to its security, from throwing stones and promoting violence on social media to more serious accusations such as attempted murder.

Khalida Jarrar, one of the freed detainees, told The Associated Press: "There's this double feeling we're living in, on the one hand, this feeling of freedom, that we thank everyone for, and on the other hand, this pain, of losing so many Palestinian martyrs."

Happy New Year! 
Today, I'm going to talk about one of ivents on New year's Eve.
We have Ohitakisai in Hirota shrine on New Year's Eve. It's an ivent for Shinto ritual.  In Ohitakisai, a large bonfire is lit at the shrine. The flame will cleanse us of one year of impurities.
*****************************************
あけましておめでとうございます。
今年は　西暦で2023年です。　日本の元号では　令和5年です。　干支はうさぎです。
前回　ポッドキャストをアップしてから2週間以上空いてしまいました。
おかげさまで、部屋の片づけもかなりできました。お正月の用意もそれなりに整えることができました。
12月31日大晦日の夜は、家から２０分ほど歩いて行ける廣田神社に行きました。この日は、午後9時から　大晦日御火焚祭（おひたきさい）という行事がありました。これは、知らないうちに溜まった1年間の罪や穢れを祓い清めるために、大きな焚火をする行事です。　焚火の火にあたると、悪いものが取れ、きれいな心と体で新しい年を迎えることができるそうです。また、これは「福火（ふくび）」とも言われています。「福火」は、その火にあたることで、福を授かることができるそうです。
神社の広場で焚かれる御火焚祭（おひたきさい）の火は、とても大きいです。2メートルぐらいまで炎が上がります。めらめら　ゆらゆら動く炎は　まるで　龍が空に昇る姿に見えます。新しい薪を　放り込む度に火の粉が舞い上がります。　風に吹かれてその火の粉が周りにいる人たちに降りかかってくることもあります。みんな2メートル以上　離れたところに立っていますが、火の粉が自分たちのほうに飛んできたら、急いで逃げていました。　この日の夜の気温は5℃ぐらいで寒かったので、焚火はとても暖かく気持ちよかったです。30分ぐらい　焚火の炎の勢いを眺めてから、神社にお参りをして帰りました。
帰宅後、年越しそばを作って　みんなと一緒に食べました。　そうこうしている内に、
深夜０時、２０２３年の１月１日になりました。　「あけましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いします」と　新年のあいさつをして忘年会はお開きです。友人たちはそれぞれ家へ帰っていきました。
こんな風に私の２０２２年は終わり、無事に２０２３年を迎えることが出来ました。
それでは、みなさん、今年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

International Tea Day is observed every year on May 21st and it aims to raise awareness of the long history and deep cultural and economic significance of Tea around the world. The idea is to promote and to somehow Implement activities in favour of promoting everything related to tea.

 International Tea Day has been celebrated for quite some time. It started off on December 15th in countries like India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, Indonesia and others across Africa such as Malaysia and Tanzania. The idea is to draw global attention to tea and to the global tea trade.

It has also been  linked to wanting more support to keep the cost of tea down. In 2015, the Indian Government proposed expanding the observance of International Tea today  by having some kind of intergovernmental group to discuss tea. They created something which led to big efforts to support the world's tea economy and in 2015, they had a big meeting in Milan to discuss the idea of an international Tea Day.  It then went to the United Nations. And that's how We managed to get International Tea Day on the 21st of May. Here's some very interesting facts about tea here in the UK:

The average British person drinks 876 cups of tea every single year. So, that's well over two cups a day if my calculations are right.

 And, apparently, for centuries, it was used only as a medicine. 

Tea was first introduced to Britain almost 400 years ago and was described, described as a Chinese drink because it first came from China.

A cup of tea has become native to British culture. It's the number one choice for British people and herbal teas are also very popular these days.
