【Popeye and spinach】


Speaking of food which makes people strong,it's a spinach which Popeye eats.When his girlfriend,Olive,is on the verge of a crisis,Popeye begins to play an active part.💪


As soon as he eats the spinach in can,his biceps 力こぶ stand up powerfully,so he becomes by far stronger.💪


Popeye always makes the can open by force.Whenever he grips the can,its upper part opens and the spinach springs out of it with a fanfare.🎵


We usually open the can with its opener,but no one seen Popeye use the tool,I'm sure.Can we open the can like that? 😥


When making the can,we put a lid on the body,and tuck in 折り込む its edge.Then we fasten the upper part.😃

Therefore,if adding pressure to outside of the can,the joined upper part transforms and it falls out.It's not always impossible,I'm wondering😚

In addition,he has 500kg of the strength of his grip before he eats spinach.He has already been so strong that he doesn't have to be powerful any more.😚


Without eating the spinach,he should leave for Olive immediately so as to help her.😁


By the way,does the spinach include source of the power?At first,the spinach includes vitamin A.Vitamin A keeps our skin,mucous membrane 粘膜,and hair healthy.😃

Therefore even if there is a little exaggeration,eating spinach makes him strong.We can accept the fact,for there is also calcium in the food.💡


Does the spinach have an immediate effect on Popeye's power?It'll take about three days to take in the iron and make the red blood corpuscle which includes the iron.😃

The United Arab Emirates is composed of seven sheikdoms 首長国 such as Abu Dhabi,Dhabi,and so on.Each sheikdom has intention of being independent,so the United Arab Emirates is a miniature nation as if each sheik 首長国 had its leader.😃

『Its rival may be Abu Dubai?』


There is a power relation between the seven sheiks in the United Arab Emirates.Abu Dubai has abundant petroleum resources,so it holds real power in the United Arab Emirates.😤


As to the Emirates' budget,Abu Dhabi makes a donation about its 80%,Dhabi about 10%.The United Arab Emirates is the most source of supply of petroleum for Japan.😃


Japan imports those petroleum almost from Abu Dhabi.Dhabi's amount of petroleum producing is no more than tenth-one of that in Abu Dhabi.🇯�

In short,the United Arab Emirates has put a great effort into its tourist industry in order to break away from the situation in which it depends on petroleum.💡

Please remember Sindbad's adventure in The Arabian Nights' Entertainments.As to the adventures' stages in which our hearts were beating when we were children,needless to say,they are the seas.🌅


Instead of riding on a camel over the desert,Sindbad goes on a voyage wiht his sailing boat.Omani people had also steer their boats at will,they crossed over to the Indian Ocean.They had gone to not only India,East Africa,but Southeast Asia,and been engaged in active trades.⛵

By the way,if opening the country's atlas described about 50 years ago,we can find a unfamiliar phrase of a neutral zone at border between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.💡

Each resident used to go in and out freely there,and both countrys' sovereign also used to reach there evenly.The area was originally desert all around where nomads sought for oases,and went in out in search for camels or sheep then.🐫


When trying to guarantee the nomads lives,it may have been convenient for the both countries to think the areas belonged to neither of them.It was when no one had dreamed there were tremendous oil under the dessert.🐫

『We don't always need gold,but plenty of water is indispensable for us.』


Afghanistan has been apt to be dried up,so they have made much of melted snow more than gold,for the melted snow was valuable for them when maintaining oases,and being engaged in agriculture.⛄

The カレーズ flows underground,so it has little vaporization.They grew wheat mainly.They kneaded and baked the wheat and made naan.It was their staple food.🍞
