Resolving "The procedure entry point ... library vulkan-1.dll" error when launching Hyper Scape

Hi. As the title says, I resolved the following error. What I tried There were two. When you try these, you will need to take full responsibility for your action. Backup is important. The first one is a GPU driver update. Valkan will be installed along with the driver update, so I tried this method first. However, changing the driver sometimes causes instability, so I recommend checking the current version from the device manager. The second one is installing the latest version of Valkan Runtime. I referred to this nice Japanese article. https://emulog.net/ps3-emulator-rpcs3-cant-run-missing-vulkan-1-dll/ In my environment, the problem was resolved.  However, my GPU was too old to play :(  I hope these information helps you. Bye.

Local food “Yakiimo(焼き芋)” in Japan (introducing by native)

Hi. Good morning / afternoon / evening. I’m ponpokorin (@ponpokorin_24).

Today, I recommend “Yakiimo(焼き芋, やきいも).”

In Japanese, generally, “yaki(焼き)” means “baked” and “imo()” means "potato". But in this case, “imo” means "sweet potato (Satsumaimo)". So, “Yakiimo” is eaten as snack in Japanese people in daily life.

Yakiimo is delicious! If you visit Japan, you should try it!

What is Yakiimo?

Simply speaking, when we bake Satsumaimo, it gets sweet. It is Yakiimo.

Please look at these photos. 




they were very tasty!

By the way, why Satsumaimo gets sweet? There is complicated theory. If you are interested in complicated theory, it’s here (You can skip).

--- complicated theory start ---

Used sweet potato (Satsumaimo) has β-amylase and contains a lot of starch.

When we bake Satsumaimo, inner starch is gelatinized, and then β-amylase resolve that starch into maltose.

This maltose is very sweet.

--- complicated theory ends ---



Where to buy?


In japan, Yakiimo is very popular food in winterYou can buy it at local supermarket. Generally, they use machine and frag and Yakiimo has good smells. So, you can find easily.

Example:
Ordinary Yakiimo machine


The back side has an oven

And you can search in google using following words (by copy & paste into searching box).
machines : “焼き芋機 業務用
frags :  “焼き芋 旗

Also, you can cook Yakiimo easily by yourself in your kitchen. Let’s check out how to cook Yakiimo!

Recipe of Yakiimo

This is Satsumaimo (さつまいも)

Cooking time : 1 h - 1 h 30 min
  1. Buy “Satsumaimo(さつまいもさつま芋薩摩芋)” at local supermarket. Sometime, variety name displayed such as "紅はるか", "紅あずま", "安納芋", "シルクスイート"etc. My recommend is "紅あずま"or"シルクスイート" (about 200-300yen/pack).
  2. If soil is sticking on Satsumaimo, wash and remove it. And then, wipe off the water completely.
  3. Wrap Satsumaimo in tin foil one by one.
  4. Bake it in oven at 200℃ (392°F) 50-60 min without preheating.



If you spend more time (heat 3 hours by 140℃ (284℉) ), you could make more delicious Yakiimo!


At last, I introduce rare Yakiimo.
Look at this.


This Satsumaimo’s name is “Murasaki Imo.”

“Murasaki” means purple. This appearance is very very different from normal Satsumaimo, but taste and characteristic do not change. So, you can enjoy Yakiimo too!

Thank you for your reading! See you again!

Molting and Secondary growth of Apple tree

Hi. There are various discoveries when you grow plants by yourself. Today I took a picture of the molting (maybe there is a formal name...) of the new shoot of an apple tree in the second year of seedlings. The above picture is hard to look the "molting", so I expanded. If you look closely, you'll find a skin that is transparent and can be peeled off easily. When I first raised an apple tree, I thought it was an illness, but it is growing without dying. So now, I'm thinking it's one of the physiological phenomena. By the way, "Secondary growth" is another phenomenon. The trunk becomes thicker with vertical cracks as shown in the image below. At the beginning, I was worried about various things. For example, I thought my apple tree got sick by seeing the white hair (trichome) of the buds (I didn't know the buds has it). But after a year, I get used to raising apple trees. In how many years will apple trees grown from seeds bear fruit? I can't wait
