If spring was the practice round for the #stayhome era, with fresh stay-at-home requests inbound, winter is a chance to perfect the stuck-indoors lifestyle. Make use of January (and February?) to get a head start on that perennial of New Year’s resolutions: studying Japanese.
There are five main areas you can start focusing on if you’re giving up Friday nights at the pub: grammar, vocabulary, reading, speaking and writing.
Grammar: Most language learners have heard about the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test at some point in their studies. It continues to be a significant test if you’re looking for a certification that can help get you a job, almost all companies in Japan require it as proof of linguistic ability when hiring.

SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) It was difficult to celebrate America in Saginaw this year. The deadly coronavirus had torn through the county. Unemployment had surged five-fold. Weeks of protest over racial inequality left many debating what should be hallowed and what must be changed.
But Tom Roy had given it his best. As the head of the July Fourth fireworks board, he struggled to save the display of red-rocketed flares and bursting peonies, fruitlessly seeking a venue that felt safe from the sickness.
Detailing the Formation of Distant Solar Systems with NASA s Webb Telescope
We live in a mature solar system eight planets and several dwarf planets (like Pluto) have formed, the latter within the rock- and debris-filled region known as the Kuiper Belt. If we could turn back time, what would we see as our solar system formed? While we can’t answer this question directly, researchers can study other systems that are actively forming along with the mix of gas and dust that encircles their still-forming stars to learn about this process.
A team led by Dr. Thomas Henning of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, will employ NASA s upcoming James Webb Space Telescope to survey more than 50 planet-forming disks in various stages of growth to determine which molecules are present and ideally pinpoint similarities, helping to shape what we know about how solar systems assemble.
