Making money through royalties and other forms of passive income.

The flag of this group says who and what they are. The Hezbolla flag is yellow, with green word Alla written in there form of Aribic (not interested in mid east languages so not sure what form it is) and on top of the name is a green I machine gun. That just says who, they are, what they support, and what they will do to achieve all of their goals.

Even in my home country as of late stabbings and other forms of terror have been rising given rise to parties like the AFD. Groups like Hezbolla are a cancer on its host country and plague to there neighbors.

Same policy different face for LDP. Noda the worst of all of them is running for CDP president.

You want to end extreme overtime in Japan. Than the government needs to create stiff laws with penalties if violated.

Stiff laws that create manditory pay for all time logged in. If the government wants to end 残業for good all the government needs to do is to make any form of work after your scheduled to leave any time after your salary will go up two times what you are paid during normal work hours! That will end usless afer working hours and benefit empolyees.

If the definition of sleaze and corruption had a picture in the dictionary, Noda's face would be there. He would be an excellent chief of the politburo of a country long since gone.

The last time he had the reigns he did the LDPs bidding implemented the unpopular sales tax that was both unpopular to many in his own party and the rest of the country. Now the LDP is in trouble and this creature comes out of hole.

This party has no direction or manifesto that will gain any kind of support from the people of Japan. You need a policy to counter the LDP you need to bring new life into this country not do the same thing over and over again. If in the slighest chance he would become Prime Minister which is unlikely. What is he going to do higher the Sales tax again to 15 or 20 percent so the LDP can come back in victorious as ever again.

No shortage of rice in Ishikawa in fact the shelves in the rice area are as full as they were in June all local supermarkets. We get our rice at the local JA anyway to support local farmers in Noto.

Potential contender Noda, 67, who has become a CDPJ advisor since his stint as premier over a decade ago, will likely decide whether to run in the coming days, in response to calls from relatively young fellow members who have high hopes for his return. Former acting CDPJ leader Kenji Eda, 68, is also a possibility.

Noda is among the worst politicians there are. In 2012 Japan didn't want to raise the sales tax. It was very unpopular and one of the reasons why 民主党 at the time was in power. The sales tax was an LDP policy and this party elected this clown who fulfilled the LDPs bidding. They laughed there behinds off in the next election and wipped out your party. This led to Abe's policy, weak yen, and hyper inflation where this country is today. Noda is the most horrible politican around and should never be supported.

This party has no future if it continues to support baffoons like Noda. You have to counter the LDP and create policies that will improve this country not destroy it.

The five products are Cup Noodles and the same series of Curry and Seafood Noodles, Nissin Donbei Kitsune Udon and Nissin Yakisoba U.F.O.

According to the commission, Nissin asked retailers to raise prices by by 5-12% in June 2022 and 10-13% in June 2023. In addition, the company also decided the in-store prices when retailers planned special sales

Rip off for food that is one of the most unhealthy and un natural foods around!

Here in Ishikawa in Noto this summer has been fairly normal like many others here. Temperatures average between 27 and 31 degrees in the day and around 19 to 23 degrees at night. One of the reasons why I love living here other than its natural beauty.

When I lived in Nagoya the worst year I can remember was 2007 by far. From seeing the temperatures in the news this year in that area of Aichi I would say this year is on par with 2007. In that year from the mid July until mid september almost everyday was above 35 degrees and at its hottest during the beginning of August to the end of Obon it was over 38 and 41 degrees that year. The best summer in Nagoya was 2009 which was far cooler than 2007 due to the extended rainy season of that year. As I hate hot summer weather this is one of the reasons why I never go south of Kanazawa from the beginning of June to Mid September unless I absolutely need to. My wife is from Aomori so I enjoy visiting there during August and always enjoy the drive up there during the mid summer.

I dispise the LDP but what does your party have to offer? Why is Ozawa and the absolute worst politicians of all Noda trying to find a way to over throw you in your parties coming presidential election in the near future? Because your an ineffective leader Izumi! I do support Ozawa but will never support that absolute horrible politician Noda.

If you want to defeat the LDP you have to be effecitive and counter them and offer this country a good reason to vote for your party!

You can prepare yourself with supplies but when an earthquake of that maginatude occurs no one is prepared for that can unleash. Living near the January 1st Earthquake epicenter I am fimilar with this all to well. Yes there was a lot of destruction here and the earthquake here had a depth of 10 kilometers.

My home is about 100 years old and sustained minimal damage. The home next door to ours was built in the 1970s and it was destroyed. From experience homes and buildings buit from the end of the edo period to 1949 faired very well. Homes and buildings built from 1950 to 1990 faired extremely badly against the earthquake. Homes built after this time were also sustained minimal damage.

If a mega quake occurs home built between 1950 and 1990 are going to really face a lot of damage when this earthquake occurs in the near future or decades to come.

My home is located 19 km from the epicenter of the January 1st earthquake in Noto Cho. I was home at the time with my family when the earthquake hit. There were two earthquakes one at 16:05 which was a very ominous, very similar to a warning of what was to come. The first one was at least a lower 5. Noto also experienced two larger earthquakes on May 5th 2023 that were over 5. The first one was similar to the first one on May 5th. The second one that followed was bigger. From the May 5th 2023 experience, after experience that same kind of earthquake I knew there was something bigger coming how soon I had no idea at the time. Sure enough at 16:10 the main earthquake occurred. If you have not experienced a strong 6 or above what you will go through in that minute or two is unfathomable because of sheer power of what that can do. My family and I decided to run outside because we were right by the entrance way of our home. Just trying to get out is difficult because you can hardly move because of how fast the earth is moving under your feet. My family made it outside safely but the earthquake continued and got worse. The earthquake lasted about a minute but even though the shaking stopped around you there was a very weird sensation that you felt from the ground at the bottom of your feet as if some massive rock feel deep with in the earth. The ending was the most strangest part of the quake I experienced. My family was fine my youngest daughter was in shock she didn't speak for two days after the earthquake but returned to normal cheerful self afterwards.

Thankfully our home had only some minor damage. The entrance way doors came off the house. Some of the old siding fell off but nothing major, broken glass, some of the dressers fell down, etc. We had no electricity, gas, or water. We stayed in a 避難所 (hinanjo) ,eveacuation shelter for 2 months before we returned home we just wanted to be at home. Our water finally was fixed in June of this year almost six months after the earthquake occurred. We going to do another reform to our home in the autumn of this year. Things are improving on a daily basis here.

My advice is be prepared, if you own a home near a mountain research a hazard map if your area is prone to landslides this is especially important during earthquakes. Learn what a 罹災証明書 risaishomesho is. Know your towns disaster procedures. Have a plan of where to go incase of a tsunami. Know where you local shelter is. Look at what kind of fire insurance you have. Make sure you have enough water and food prepared. Even if your local government or municipality says its prepared its probably not because what ever can go wrong will go wrong in a major earthquake and you will never know what streets what areas its going to really effect the most.

I have been living in Japan for over 18 years now climbed Iwaki San, Asama San to the farthest you can, and various other mountains around the country. I have never climbed Fuji San for one reason. There are to many people.

Where I live the closest station is 30 km away and most of the stations between Anamizu and Kanazawa have no escalators. When ever I need to take the train while I am in the Kansai region or while I am in Aichi most stations also have stairs. I always used the stairs over escalators I find it easier and less annoying.

Falling population.

Many places in Suzu city still don't have water from the earthquake on January 1st. The water in my own home in Noto cho was just restored early last month.

Still many house still damaged in Noto.

Wajima still looks like some cities in my home country at the end of the second world war.

Inflation

Yen rate is at its lowest in years to the Euro and the Dollar

Make your country stronger first before you go off playing the fiddle around the world as Japan burns.

Not a native English speaker. I get messages from clients from English speaking using abbreviations I have a veiy hard time understanding what they mean. Especially with Americans when using slang terms. For Japanese when talking to someone from Kanto and they abbreviate places in Tokyo. Abbreviations and slang can be difficult for non native speakers of any language.

Travel a lot. I have never used it and more than likely never will!

Well thats nice but for me a good hotel needs

1 Friendly staff

2 温泉や銭湯　public bath

3 Breakfast normally free

Usually all three of these describes the Route Inn one of the best Hotels in Japan and quite inexpensive.

Other then the Earthquake that happened on January 1st where I live in Okunoto is probably the best place to relax in Japan. This will return back to normal as they were before the Earthquake in the coming years. Okunoto has very easy going friendly locals especially toward foreigners, so many places of natural beauty, mountains and the sea, stars at night are beautiful, great for meditation and stress relief, great food and fresh vegetables that are in expensive, etc. Why I live here and why I won't live anywhere else in Japan. Some of the place to visit after things have calmed down in a few years in Noto Cho are:

1 Tsukumo Wan

Ishikawa Ken Route 35 along Uchiura. From Ushitsu to Matsunami. Great view of Toyama Bay.

3 Yanagida Shokubutsu en. Seeing the stars at night.

4 In the summer many kinds of Kiriko Matsuri. My town will have the Abare Matsuri this year tomorrow and Saturday 7/5 and 7/6.

To my me, my wife, and children the best place for us in Japan.

Other places I visit in Japan

1 Osaka, Kyoto, Otsu for business, shopping, and Biwako.

2 Aomori to twice a year once in the summer and once in the winter to visit my wife's family. To get there I drive along the sea of Japan using route 8 and route 7 to see the Sea of Japan. No I do not use the expressways because you always miss so much. I stop in Akita City for the night. Next day stop at Tazawako before my family and I get to Aomori. In Aomori I like to visit Omagasaki, Towada Ko, Mutsu, and Ogawara Ko and other places.

Lived in Japan for 18 years. Nagoya 5 years, Kyoto 5 years. living on Noto Hanato now almost 8 years. Even though I lived through the events of January 1st living only 19 km from the epicenter. Still Noto cho is by far my favorite place to live in Japan. My wife who is from Aomori still loves it here.

Tokyo and the Kanto Region and even Eastern Japan as a whole both of us feel we really feel that lifestyle is not for us even Aomori. When I take my family to Kyoto or Shiga for a few days we actually really get tired of the urban lifestyle after a few days and we always have the conversation and ask how could people live like this. Urban lifestyle not for me or my family. We enjoy visiting the city for shopping and getting away for a day or two.

Used the same four passwords since the 1990s if I need to create a different variation of them I do but in basis they are the same.

I absolutely hate flying the only time I ever do it is when I need to go overseas on emergencies. Back in the mid 2010s before relations with Russia soured I even pondered finding a way to go to Vladivostok and taking the Siberian Rail Road or driving from Vladivostok to Frankfurt Germany on an Epic Road trip. Still thought I would get a chance before Russian relations soured. Hence that dream is now put off for a very long time. The last time I was overseas from Japan was in 2010 visiting family. Domestically I drive my car if I go to Hokkaido I use the Hakodate Oma ferry. Never use Shinkansen unless there is an emergency with my wife's family in Aomori and we need to leave from Kanazawa and need to get to Shichinohe Towada station on the same day.

Flying hate it, not the actual flying part but the annoyance you have to go through at Airports in general.

Driving and Motor biking Love it.

Shinkansen over priced, routes force you to go through Tokyo.

Suggestion:

Instead of that new Riniya Shinkansen that keeps being delayed and sounds dangerous especially with the prediction of that Naiki Earthquake or a volcanic eruption in the Minami Alps occur and there are many volcanos in that region. They should invest in a Nihonkai shikansen connecting Tsuruga with Aomori. This would be one of the most beautiful Shinkansen routes train in Japan the route is already available in most sections. Tsuruga to Naoetsu. Just connect Naoetsu to Nagaoka in Niigata and create a Shinkansen line along the cost from Niigata to Aomori. People from western Japan locations who are going to Hokkaido can just avoid flying and avoid going through Nagoya, Tokyo, and Sendai. It would cut time, expenses, and avoid Tokyo.

First マイナンバーnow　what are you going to call this マイデート。

I deal with both Japanese and foreign clients. Most of my work is in the Hokuriku and Kansi regions. Almost everything is in Japanese especially dealing Japanese town or city halls, dealing with Japanese property management companies, etc. My Japanese ciients only Japanese.My German clients my native language. Every other forergn client English.

The two, along with another in their camp, allegedly used loudspeakers to interrupt rivals' campaigns and chased after other camps' vehicles, disrupting traffic, according to the sources.

Thats all, and the LDP makes slush funds hardly anything happens. Real priorities of this country.

Japan's real wages fall in March for record 24th month as Nissan net profit nearly doubles despite China challenges

Inflated Sales tax + lov valued currency. Exactly what is wrong with this country today

50,000yen is far to low. It should be 300000 yen or more. This should be nation wide.

The Caduceus, its the symbol of a staff and two serpants which is used as a symoble of medicine.

Other two logos I can think that are more famously know are the cross used in Catholic or Christian religions, the star of David, and other religious symbols.

I don't like chocolate so I buy chocolate for my wife and daughters on Valentines day as well as make them their favorite dinner.

This Shinkan Sen is a complete waste of money not to mention a great hazzard when it comes to Earth Quakes,
