I guess you all have only one "recommended scanner", so there is no way to compare them.

From my example, mine is an old ~ EPSON WF-2830 model, which is a printer/scanner model, and I use it very conveniently.

I have also scanned and put in an album the black and white photos I have been taking since I was a student long before I came here (1970). The best and oldest photos I have are taken before the end of the war (Pacific War), and I have scanned and stored them in my PC, including a photo of my father in military uniform, my mother, and me as a baby.

If you can't get your daughter to listen to you, and if she turns the tables on you, how about actually providing her with six months' rent and food money to show that you are prepared to do so, and suggest that she should live as she pleases ? If this suggestion fails, perhaps you could try accepting her current situation.  If you can't make this suggestion, you might try to accept your daughter's situation. There are also those who, after inheriting assets, hire an asset management specialist, sell their house, buy an apartment in a cheap place, and secure rental income to live on.

> A woman has an older brother in his 50s. During high school, her brother quit school and became a recluse due to bullying by his classmates. Later, his relationship with his family deteriorated and he began living alone near his parents' home.


I think this is the point: many people criticize Mr. 80 because they feel that he has a big problem with his two children who are both shut-ins. But if he was able to get rid of his son, maybe he can get rid of his daughter too. There are hundreds of thousands of women in Japan who don't work and play games every day. They are called "full-time housewives. As long as your daughter is married, she is a normal middle-aged woman without any suspicion of insanity. You don't want to get married? If you are in your fifties, you are not yet married. Let's marry her off to Japan. It's not easy in the U.S., where working together is the norm.

What surprised me when I researched families with multiple housemates was that in Japan, when a parent dies, the duty of support is transferred to the siblings in place of the parent; in Ms. 80's family, the duty to support the son, who lives on remittances, is transferred to the daughter. It is possible that the daughter feared this and became a shut-in herself.

# 49 Article 877(1) of the Japanese Civil Code seems to be an obligation to support a relative in need to the extent of spare capacity, but this is the United States. For example, there are definitions that differ from those in Japan, such as a spouse not being a dependent under U.S. tax law. If you do not want to live in poverty, you should not rely on your 50th brother or your property, but study on your own and get assistance from the government. If you are not familiar with the application for assistance, you will need to consult a lawyer, which requires a lot of money and energy. I recommend that your daughter start studying right away. Since you seem to have the internet, you can study for free now. Or you can work ? I think that would be easiest.

If you took a course in the previous semester, the previous balance should be worth that payment. If this is your first semester, it may be other payments such as enrollment fees. If it includes fees for a course that you did not take, you should contact the school's staff office via e-mail with the receipt or checkout page. \The address can be found on the website under the "contact" tab ).

American politics is a deeply rooted partisan divide, especially in recent years, and is often discussed from the perspective of "which party will rule the country? While some argue that the Democrats have not been able to come up with policies that are attractive to voters, the Republican side has also faced criticism for Trump's hard-line political stance.
Under these circumstances, it is important to understand how the public perceives politics and what kind of future they want.

People who support Democrats don't seem to see the big picture well and often criticize President Trump's character, but don't forget that behind President Trump is the support of $77 MILLION American citizens. President Trump is working for us to fulfill his campaign promises, not doing whatever he wants on his own. President Trump is still listening to the citizens at all times, right? Those who support the Democrats will never know this fact.

American politics is a place of serious partisan conflict, especially in recent years, and there has been a lot of debate over which party will lead the country. While former President Trump has many supporters, there is also persistent criticism of his policies and political style. Democrats often have concerns about Trump's political stances and actions, while Republican supporters often see him as fulfilling his promises and reflecting the voice of the citizens. In political discussions, it is important for people with different points of view to find common ground through dialogue.

A friend of mine was hit by immigration and went back to Japan, apparently they found out he was doing private tours on social networking sites. He was also doing LocoTabi and VimaTravel and they found out about that too. !
Actually, I am in the same situation, but I have to go back to Japan temporarily and I don't know what to do.
Is there anyone here who is in the same situation? ? I guess I should say I don't have any social networking sites ? ? I have stopped using Rocotavi and Baima Travel. I've also deleted my Instagram.

I'm not saying it's a hoax, I'm not just saying it based on the internet. I'm not just speaking from the internet, I know someone who was denied entry after just two sightseeing trips. She wasn't fancy at all, but she was cute. If the reason for being sent to a separate room is because of the fancy clothes in the suitcase, then the contents of the suitcase have not yet been seen at the time of being sent to the separate room. After immigration, they would go to get their suitcases after entering the U.S. In most cases, the CBP officer will not look at the contents of your suitcase, but will talk to you and decide whether you are allowed to enter or denied entry, but if the CBP officer wants to look at the contents of your suitcase, he or she will.
Also, many Japanese people think that they have to wear makeup, but not many people in the US think that. Especially when flying. If you see non-Japanese women at the airport, most of them are dressed casually without makeup.

It is not just what I have heard on the internet. In fact, in the past, when I was a student, I was told by an American airline staff ( flight attendant or ground staff ) at an airport in Japan that young women are easily suspected and possibly sent to another room because they always forget the documents required for entry. I know of one person who was denied entry to Japan after only two visits.

If you are sent to a separate room because you have a flashy change of clothes in your suitcase, they will not see the contents of your suitcase at the time you are sent to the other room. The reason is that they go to get the suitcases after entering the country. If the CBP officer wants to see the contents of the suitcase, he or she can ask a staff member to bring the suitcase to the other room and look at it.

Also, I mean, put on some makeup, most of the female passengers you see at the airport are dressed casually with no makeup on ?.

There are several instances in which social networking sites can become a problem for immigration inspectors. For example, the content of past postings may influence the examiner's decision. In particular, if there are political statements or inconsistencies regarding the purpose of travel, they may be investigated in detail in a separate room. In addition to social networking sites, the presence of work-related materials or business cards among your belongings may also be judged to be inconsistent with your purpose of tourism. In fact, there have been reports of cases where business cards were found and the applicant was denied entry into Japan as a result of a phone call to the company confirming the business card. In addition, if the information on your ESTA application does not match the information on your social networking service, your application may be scrutinized more strictly. It is important to enter accurate information in advance, as it may be difficult to correct any errors in your application. The key to passing the immigration inspection smoothly is to review your SNS public settings and make sure that the information regarding your purpose of travel is consistent. If you have any concerns, it is a good idea to prepare them in advance.

I was asked by a last minute returnee if I would like to buy a set of educational books for $ 10, and I gladly agreed, but the next day I was told "I spilled coffee on them and threw them away". It's strange that there was so much coffee on everything, but I didn't get to see it, and I'm sure $ someone was buying it for more than 10.
$ It's hard to believe that someone would abandon a bag of 3 for $ 15, even though they said they would buy it for $ 20. Even if someone says they will buy it for 20, normal adults don't dance around the difference.

Then don't buy it. Or buy it yourself. It's hard to get, and you spent hours and hours in line early in the morning to get it, and you spent gasoline to get a rare item, so it has a premium.
I know someone who was able to buy one without standing in line, but he didn't say which store.
I heard there were long lines everywhere in the South Bay. There was a guy who thought they were giving them away for free. He was told by the guy at the store how much and how long the line was there 😆.

The only way is to consult with HR. If it's a decent company, they will take care of it, but I think it's difficult for Japanese-Americans to do so.

If you get a diagnosis that you are sensitive to the smell of cigarettes and slightly allergic to them ? It's not just cigarettes, but allergies can make the tip of your nose tingle and make you feel bad. Also, having a itchy feeling around my nose was a symptom.

In my case, Primary's doctor put it in writing. I was feeling sick and couldn't stop sneezing because of the smell of perfume, not cigarettes, and when I made an appointment, he said it must be the perfume. I only had that happen at work and I left early to see him when I was sneezing so bad. And many people who wear too much perfume are getting stronger by the day because their own nose is numb. I sent a letter to HR and asked them to change my seat. They told me that they can't pay attention to the person who is the source of the fragrance. I was told it's because I'm the only one who developed allergies. He said it's not enough for someone to say it smells bad. I and another coworker who was concerned about the smell have already quit though.
