This article was just so hard to get through. Yes she met him in a hotel and all, but in the end she was just a young girl probably went to school or college.

One wrong turn……

Another perverted child rapist caught

Perverted, maybe. But child rapist ? How ? What if he’s telling the truth ? I do understand the girls are minors , but all said and done , they’re soliciting no?

Looking forward to the H3. Private players like Mitsubishi are most welcome but we need to see more from JAXA.

a girl born in Aichi Prefecture in 2022 has Japanese nationality because both of her parents are Afghani

Turns out that’s incorrect. There can be many reasons for the girl to have been granted nationality but her parents being from a particular country isn’t one of them. Otherwise too, a very poorly written piece.

The “monster” !! He’s considered one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. And that’s talking all weight categories

Contrary to what a lot of people might think , it’s a pretty normal request. The incident command system needs to establish an incident commander (IC) along with the various section chiefs for planning, safety, logistics, media response and so on. This information would be necessary for any parties to liaise, not just the US.

As long as the athletes (and probably other visitors) can be protected from being mugged, harassed etc., yes it could be a good Olympics.

To demand “release him immediately” is not only rude but also contradicts own statement that “he’s being interrogated”

Violent end to a long life. Some people expect the elderly to behave more and more in a certain way whereas the fact is that when you start growing old beyond a point , you basically start reverting to being a child. You’re weaker, defenses lower, lose motor functions, reflexes bit by bit. Being noisy is not the worst of it all, for sure. They’ll understand when (and if) they get that old.

This is not normal for a national airline.

correct. Any event out of the ordinary from a near miss to a minor incident to a major accident are all not normal events and therefore investigations are mandated depending on the severity of incident.

It may look or sound scary , but this is normal and actually a good sign. Regulators doing their job and making operators accountable is sign of a properly run industry.

Mass , velocity , momentum , hardness , surface roughness etc. etc. of the projectile are not defined in the law for this reason. Judje will make the decision whether it was assault or not. By the way , a banana peel thrown on one’s head can easily whip back into the eye and cause considerable damage

Seems like more of attacking the direct cause than the root cause. It could make an already irritable customer, more so.

Had watched a documentary about their aircraft carrier fleet. All state of the art and each better than the other. I think they have a fleet of about 10 or 11, and the next closest is China with 2. Impressive !!

Yea, quite the sicko. 10 years seems pretty light for doing that to all of 6 women, he’ll be back out in his 40s. Also, the title would be more apt as “for drugging and raping” because they weren’t already otherwise drugged.

I understand using an agency to resign , but the reason being “unable to face going back to go to work after gw” is odd.

varies from industry to industry. If it makes life better for companies and employees, why not. It’s one of the lessons from Covid. Trains will still be crowded but a slight bit lesser.

Regardless of accident or intentional, barrier should have been in place. If the pier is designed to take vehicular traffic and designated as such , strong barriers are imperative. If not, and the individuals went around safety barriers it would be another matter.

He’s right, but to a limited extent and in limited contexts. In addition to numbers what also matters is the quality of immigration. Skilled professionals (or even unskilled labor) who will pay tax as well as contribute positively to local society , of course. But what’s happening at the US border is a bit scary.

Cool biz is nice, but setting 28 is somewhat counterproductive. People invariably end up setting little table fans on their desks and end result is drawing extra current from the grid.

The coast guard did not provide additional information in a statement

Exactly !! By using the term “expelled”, the narrative of sovereignty has been set. Bully behavior as usual. Repeat a lie enough number of times till it becomes accepted as normal.

Ask any of the skilled professionals or any white or even blue collar workers who struggle hard with academics and then their careers to pass through the many obstacles about such fake students who get an easy pass and they go “huh ?!?” Why did we go through all this struggle in life when there’ll be people who can just cheat the system. This tightening of rules should’ve been done long ago. Even now, just tightening the rules won’t be enough , they should be implemented steadfastly and ban the offenders.

Many lives saved, perhaps. Not only was he stupid enough to be drinking till a few hours before his flight , he wasn’t even well rested. Lack of sleep can wreak havoc especially when you need to do physical work and need your reflexes to be top notch. Very irresponsible for what I assume a senior pilot.

So sad to hear. Doesn’t matter if they were subcontractors, safety in the workplace would be the plant’s responsibility. Usually the subcontractor would be required to read and sign the company’s safety policy. Investigators/regulators need to do an extraordinary audit of their procedures. Safety harnesses with fall protection (that basically fails at a predetermined tension with a predetermined speed) are usually a must when working at heights greater than 2m. Must point out here that oftentimes the workers do not attach the harness hooks to proper strongpoints making them redundant. Falling 20m points towards some serious lapses.

Very sad incident. Time is of the essence when doing alcohol analysis as well, and investigators would’ve probably covered this aspect. With more than one person in the car, the driver becomes responsible for that many more lives and safe driving is paramount. You’ll have near misses and serious near misses that will change your driving habits but sadly for some, the first time will be the last.

Good initiative. I was surprised so many died of heat. Cooling shelters will hopefully surely help those in need. All the best.

What a nice thing to hear ! Really feel good when you read news like this.

Japan is a Democratic country?

People elect their representatives in government and these elected representatives make the laws. So, yes.

But there have been a number of cases where travelers purchase massive amounts of tax-free items and resell them for profit at tax-inclusive prices before departing Japan

Electronic refund is not the ideal solution. The buyer will still get refunded anyway. It will help though, through AI to track red flags and large purchases. They should also use technology by scanning passport information at the store and feed it into a system. Do random checks at departures. Shall the goods not be found on the traveler, tax will apply.

Terrible news. Praying for those not found yet.
