Sea Cows
The lecture and the reading passage have opposing views about the main cause of the sea cows extinction. Firstly, the reading mentions that sea cows had been overhunted by native people which caused the main extinction, since sea cows were a good source of food. Yet, the lecturer confirms that sea cow was a massive creature. Sea cows could feed the native people, but they were not large. So they certainly did hunt the sea cows, but they did not need a lot of them.
Secondly, the author thinks that ecosystem disturbances caused of the extinction for sea cows’ main source of food— kelp decreasing. In contrast, the speaker from the listening passage indicates that if ecosystem disturbances really happened that not just affected kelp but other parts of ecosystem as well. For example, it would have caused a decrease in whale. However, there did not report a decline. Since there was no ecosystem problems, so the kelp population was just fine and then the sea cows did not experience food shortage.
Lastly, the reading says that that main cause of sea cows extinction is that they were hunted by European fur traders, who had weapons that were able to kill a large animal quickly. Instead, the listening asserts that sea cow population was already small before the traders arrived.

Russia and India Seek Partnership in Military and Energy for Arctic Circle Development
Russia and India are rapidly (approaching each other? getting close? ). On the 5th of February, the Russian oil giant announced India’s participation in Russian oil field development in the Arctic circle. Both countries also agreed on introducing the Russian anti-missile system by the year 2021. The intention behind this partnership (?) is likely to exhibit strengthening cooperation in energy and military industries to use against (?) the Trump administration. The U.S. is anticipated to criticize India’s decision.
Igor Sechin, the director of the government-affiliated company Rosneft, met with the minister of petroleum and natural gas, Dharmendra Pradhan, in New Deli. They reached a basic agreement on the participation of an Indian company to Rosneft’s energy development project in the Arctic circle “Vostok Oil”.
The partnership will further be hammered out at the task force that is going to be newly established.
Rosneft signed a partnership with Indian Oil to export as much as 2 million tons of oil from a southern Russian port in 2020.
Vostok is a project lead by Sechin, a close advisor of president Putin.
The project consists of (?) several oil field development plans in the eastern Siberia, and the production is estimated to reach 100 million tons annually by 2030, occupying 20% of an entire production in Russia.
Russia sees India as the largest oil consumer next to the U.S. and China.
Investment is estimated to exceed 10 billion dollars. Sechin visited Japan in December 2019 and invited Japanese enterprises to join the project as well.
On the 5th of February, the executives of the Federal Service of Military-Technical Cooperation
visited the military expo “DEFEXPO" in India and confirmed on a possible delivery of an anti-missile system “S400” to India. The training for delivery and management is scheduled to commence by the end of 2021.
India, despite the opposition from the U.S., agreed on proceeding according to the plan on the contract.
The executives also commented that Russia is ready to start the production of the AK-47, Russian assault rifle, in 2020.
The approval for domestic production of the Russian tanks in India was extended until 2028. 460 tanks are planned for production.
India, with an intention to expand military production, insists on a domestic production even on a negotiation table with the U.S. and China. Russia agreed on this request and have provided weapons amounting to 15 billion dollars in the past three years.
Both Russia and India are carefully …(observing?) the relationships with China and the U.S.
Although India and the U.S. have been cooperating against China, India no longer receives preferential treatment on tariffs from the Trump administration.
Another background for partnering with Russia is the diversification of oil suppliers as India was forced to stop the oil import from Iran due to U.S. sanctions.
India is also carrying a negotiation with China on a possibility of expansion in trade against the U.S., in spite of their existing border disputes.
India’s intentions to weigh the U.S., China and Russia are a clear sign to attract more profit to the domestic economy.
As for Russia, with the lengthening of Western sanctions, strengthening the ties with India and China was inevitable.
The relationship with the U.S. is in a statement and the nuclear disarmament talks that are hoped to encourage (improve?) the U.S.-Russia ties are also slow in development.
With the outbreak of coronavirus, concern for a recession of the Chinese economy is increasing. Russia rushes to spread the risk by partnering with India in addition to its largest exporting partner China.
In 2019, the Trump administration pressured the Turkish government with a possible sanction and a freeze in the sale of a cutting-edge fighter aircraft when Turkey introduced S400.
The U.S. and India agreed on the joint production of fighter aircraft in 2017. India is potentially an ideal weapon export market for the U.S.
The U.S. and Russia each attempted to take in India, the former country within a “Japan-U.S.-India” partnership, and the latter within the “China-Russia-India” partnership. Russia’s aim to separate the U.S. from India coincides with China’s interests as well.

6. Februar: der samische Nationalfeiertag!
Heute feiern die Samen ihren Nationalfeiertag, weil es der 6. Februar des Jahres 1917 war, an dem die Samen an einer politischen Konferenz in Norwegen teilnahmen. Sie waren jahrhundertelang eine marginalisierte Gesellschaft gewesen, aber seit diesem Datum haben sie sich mehr mit politischen Angelegenheiten befasst. Sie feiern ihre Identität, Sprachen und Menschen!

Skiing, Part 4
Finally I had that skiing week. I feel it was enough. There were good parts and also bed parts. The road was 12 hours long, but fortunetly it didn't seem so long.
First of all we arrived on the hotel at 18 p.m. but on the reception the staff said, that we should have go to another. The misunderstanding caused, that it was two Hotel, but one owner and one e-mail adress. We weren't upset because the receptionist said, that the other Hotel is bigger and much better. Somewhere it was no question, that it should have better, cause it was a court accomodation.
We were never have a this kind of accomodation. We were happy as we knew, that we didn't have to drive to the court an back. It was always so much time (one hour) the procedure. We al ways had to pack in all the devices and the end of the day packing out. So it began very well.
We found the Hotel and occupied our rooms. In our room we were four, and it was a really small room. It was one cabinet, with two hangers. I went to the receptionist for ask four more at least. She wrote it and told me, that I'll get it tomorrow.
Everybody waited for the dinner, we were hungry...

Indonesian “Smart Fish Farming” Startup Provides Services to Neighboring Countries
EFishery, an Indonesian agri-tech startup, is reported to have been negotiating towards fundraising. The negotiation partners are Northstar, a Singaporean investment firm, and the investment department of an Indonesian ride-hailing giant Go-Ventures.
EFishery is a company that provides smart feeding machines for fish and shrimp farming and data infrastructure. The company was established in 2013.
EFishery’s technology leads to risk management for farmers and solves the issues of lack of funds.
The startup is aiming to raise 15 million dollars at this current investment round.
Patrick Walujo, a managing partner and a co-founder of Northstar Group, commented at the beginning of January that they are ready to support EFishery, without going further into the details. Walujo commented, “Our interest lies in how we can aid in providing this product to millions of farmers. Their product is gaining popularity not only in Indonesia but also in Vietnam and Thailand.”
EFishery successfully raised funds at their beginning stage in 2015 following with a 4 million dollars funding in 2018. Other investors were actively participating as well. EFishery did not accept an interview regarding this matter. Go-Ventures commented that they are not ready to respond yet, while Northstar said they do not comment on rumors in the market.

Four Democratic Candidates in a Melee U.S. Presidential Election 2020 from Iowa Caucus
The first “match” for the selection of candidates from democratic and republican parties for the U.S. presidential election was held in De Moines, Iowa, on the evening of the 3rd of February. Four candidates (fought against each other (?) including Bernie Sanders（age: 78) from the left-wing party, and a former vice president, Joe Biden (age: 77) from the non-radical party. Due to the delay in vote counting operation, caucus began in a great upheaval.
The result hasn’t been disclosed as of midnight of the 4th of February, Japan time.
Based on the entrance survey of the caucus, the New York Times reported that candidate Sanders is most likely to win. However, later, the statement was revoked. Sanders emphasized at the caucus saying, “original quote”, and showed his confidence in winning.
At Iowa’s public opinion survey, Sanders overtook Biden(?) (and) gained the lead in the average approval rate. He is also leading in the next primary election scheduled in New Hampshire for the 11th of February.
If candidate Sanders wins twice consecutively, … (he will gain more momentum? confidence? approval?) for the nomination (?).
Sanders’ liberal policies including free college education and a large corporate tax increase are gaining great popularity. The background behind this is the sign (?) of the public, especially the younger generation, expressing (voicing?) their concerns towards widening inequality.
According to the Washington Post’s entrance survey, 48% of the voters aged 17 to 29 are in favor of candidate Sanders. As many as 31% of the electors who are supporting the policy to reduce inequality selected candidate Sanders.
Elizabeth Warren( age: 70) from the same left-wing party(?) followed with 26% of the votes.
However, some question the possibility of the left-wing candidates winning the election against Trump.
Liberal policies tend to be avoided among the working-class that supported President Trump in the 2016 election in the mid-western swing states such as Michigan. (How can I make this sentence sound more concise….?)
Candidate Biden claims that he is the most suitable candidate to recapture (regain?) the popularity among the white middle-class. He told his supporters the evening of the 3rd that the day has been a close (match?) and that it is going to be a long night.
According to an entrance survey, Biden gained 25% of the votes from the centrists.
The youngest candidate on this election, Pete Buttigieg (age: 38), a former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, also gained 25% of the votes from the centrists equaling to Biden. His team is confident that they were able to leap out to the top.
At the caucus held on the evening of the 3rd, Buttigieg commented, “original quote” and showed his confidence regarding the result.
The structure of left-wings and centrists fighting for the top (position?) is similar to that of between the former secretary of state Hilary Clinton and candidate Sanders in the 2016 presidential election. A widely accepted opinion for candidate Clinton’s loss is that at the end of a fierce battle between the two candidates, some of the Sanders’s supporters ended up not voting for candidate Clinton.
The current situation where both parties are clearly divided indicates that the history might repeat itself in the 2020’s election as well.

Ripper
Today, I read my entries that I posted to review the feedback. Every feedback is very helpful and I appreciate that.
By the way, I saw a Youvideo where Nancy Peloci tore up a copy of Trump's speech. I found it interesting as a means of showing her angry. Critics nicknamed her "Nancy the Ripper."
Thank you for reading!

안녕하세요, 여러분. 제 문장을 좀 고쳐주세요. :)
제게 그런 일을 일어났다면 민지처럼 속상하지 않았을 것 같아요.
if something like that happened to me, i don't think i would be as upset as MinJi.
만약 요리책을 더 똑똑히 따랐으면 우리의 식사가 더 맛있었을 텐데요
if we had followed the cookbook a little more closely I think our meal would have tasted better.
제가 단지 은행에 오른쪽에 갔다면 이렇게 늦게 도착하지 않았을 것 같아요./더 일찍 도착했을 것 같아요.
If i had just went right at the (place of the) bank i dont think i wouldve been this late/i think i would have arrived earlier.
제 생각에는 노래를 부르면서 큰 목소리로 했으면 더 좋았을 거에요.
In my opinion, it would have been better if you had sang with a louder voice.
형사는 시작부터 첫번째 살인을 더 똑똑히 들여다 봤다면 이만큼 많은 사람들이 죽지않아도 됐을 거에요.
if the detective had looked closer at/into the first murder since the beginning, this many people would not have died.

My Son and a Baby Girl
Today, a school nurse stopped me when I took my son to the daycare center.
She said,
“Your son is really kind! He’s always pays attention to babies, and talking care of them! When a baby girl was crawling toward the wall, he stopped her with his hands softly. It was so adorable!”
I was really happy to hear that, and also happy that she often looks out for him.
I didn’t know how he spent days there because he always told me few things when I asked him about it, especially babies there.
The schools nurse made my day! :)
