Nice to meet you.

I recently moved to Orange from Japan.

I enjoyed walking in Japan, so I was wondering if you could recommend any trails, hiking trails, or areas in the Orange County area where I can go for a short walk (about an hour )) on the weekend. I don't walk in the parks in my neighborhood. I've been walking around the neighborhood parks, but I'm getting a little
bored with the same places.

Please let me know.

Is there any solution now to this war, which is the beginning of the problems in the Middle East ? The US government, backed by the Jewish lobby and its capital, will continue to send huge aid money, more than Ukraine, and the US carrier fleet is waiting off the coast. Iran. It's going to be a proxy war for the US. Personally, I think it's impossible to say that the borders of the world would be strange if we say that there was a country there 2000 years ago, but I think that Britain at that time is largely responsible for provoking it with complicated diplomacy for the sake of the interests of the Great War. But it was more than 70 years ago, so I don't think anyone is right or wrong now. As far as I can see, Hamas's killing is cruel and unforgivable, but I see the same thing in the oppression of the residents of Gaza by Israeli soldiers and the use of force. I remember visiting Gaza a few years ago.
Anyway, I hope that Israel will stop bombing because there are still many civilians in the north of the country who cannot move easily or cannot escape from Israel no matter how much advance notice is given to them. I wonder if Israel will continue the air strikes when Hamas is well aware that they are using the civilians as shields. I think Biden's stock would be better served if he spent our tax dollars to set the stage for peace talks with Hamas instead of supporting Israel militarily, but it seems that the military-industrial complex and Israeli capital behind him want to go to war in the name of eradicating terrorists.
I hope the Iranian intervention doesn't raise the price of oil any higher.

There have been quite large protests by Israelis against the current government in Israel
I guess that means there are many people who believe in the Bible but still think the way the current Israeli government is doing things is terrible!

Does anyone realize that there are huge interests at stake in this war? There are huge interests at stake in this war. Why are the US, Britain and France supporting Israel all the way behind the scenes? Why does Israel really want the Gaza Strip?
The Old Testament? The Promised Land? The Holocaust? These are the national history and religious beliefs of orthodox Jews and are not really important to the people in the Israeli government.
Every day more and more civilians in Gaza are being killed in this Israeli farce. The Israeli travesty has been planned all along, until it fulfills its true purpose. Diplomacy and international politics is just a power game of wealth. Unfortunately, history education and political science in schools do not reveal the truth.

What's a non-profit organization ??

I understand that it is basically run by volunteers and is a "not for profit corporation".

Does it have to be 100% volunteer activities ? Is there any difference in the way of thinking between Japan and the U.S. ?

What would happen if they call themselves an NPO and engage in for-profit activities ?

Please let me know if you know more about this !

They say NPO and volunteer are not necessarily equal.

As much as an NPO sounds good, I thought that there are a lot of organizations that are registered as corporations for their own sake rather than to help others.

A non-profit organization is an organization that pursues social benefit while engaging in non-profit activities. They aim to solve social issues and promote the public interest without profit-making purposes. The activities of NPOs are not politically motivated and cover a wide variety of fields; one of the characteristics of NPOs is that they do not distribute their profits privately, but rather conduct their business according to their public mission.

.org stands for "organization ( organization, association, mechanism )" and is a gTLD ( generic top-level domain ) created for use by non-profit organizations
. Therefore, there is no requirement that a non-profit organization must use .org. Other domain names are also available.

For example, the Japanese NPO "NPO Domain Name Association" uses the domain name .or.jp. .or.jp is one of the JP domain types for non-profit corporations. Foundations, incorporated associations, specified non-profit corporations, etc. can register .or.jp.
There are also gTLDs other than .org that are suitable for NPOs. For example, the .ngo domain name is issued to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and registration is subject to review. Having a .ngo domain name can add credibility and transparency.


As described above, NPOs can choose a website address and domain name that suits their purposes and activities. .org is a domain name that generally represents a non-profit organization, but is not necessarily required.

Piano Tuner ( Services ・ Support Systems ) : Yasuhiro Nakajima - Local Information Magazine Lighthouse : This is an interview with a Japanese piano tuner working in San Diego and Seattle ・ Portland. Mr. Nakajima has an interesting background, having worked as an auto mechanic and then in the trades before jumping into the different field of piano tuning. He talks about his tuning skills and the satisfaction of his job. Unfortunately, he has passed away. It would be faster to ask your piano teacher.

Thank you for your reply.
I am a resident of the WLA area. Since my children have long since grown up, I have no one to play the piano
and I have lost touch with both my piano teacher and the tuner who referred me to you.
Even if I wanted to give up the piano, it has not been tuned for a long time, and
the piano itself has become a burden.
Even if I let it go, I wonder if it would be better to have it tuned.

Treatment is supplementation of deficient iron, dopamine receptor agonists ( Bisifrol, Neupro Patch ) may be used.
If this drug is not very effective, Regunite may be used as an adjunct
if symptoms are only at night, the antiepileptic drugs Rivotril, Lanssen, Gabapen
Regunite in combination may be useful for the uncomfortable, painful type of restless leg syndrome.
Late sleep, caffeine, and alcohol can aggravate symptoms.

Something on the news today about an elderly Hispanic man working at a liquor store who went outside to take out the trash,
got hit by another Hispanic man, fell backwards,
hit his head, and is unconscious and in critical condition.
The picture looks exactly the same as the unidentified Japanese man in San Pedro, with bruises on his eyes, bandages on his head, and in a coma...
The case against the Hispanic grandfather is proven, as he was caught on security camera.
The case of the dead Japanese man,
I think we should search the security cameras in the area where he was lying....
I wonder if the Japanese family is really accepting the case without hesitation.

I am scheduled to graduate from college in December 2023 and applied for OPT in mid-October. I am in a situation where I don't know the schedule and can't make a plan. I think it will be mid-January at the earliest, so I would like to move in around the beginning of February. Is there any possibility of receiving it earlier than that ? ? Also, I would like to know how many days it took for those who applied during the winter period.

Banks that can be used after returning to Japan

I am looking for a bank that I can use online even after I return to Japan.
・ You can Wire Transfer to Japan online.
・ You can register your Japanese mobile number as the mobile number to receive a code for identity verification by text message. You can also choose to have the code sent to your email address.

For now, these two things are OK, but the latter is not OK for my Bank of America, and the former is not OK for Capital One.
If you know of any bank that can do these two things, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Best regards.

They can instantly find out to which carrier a US phone number is assigned. And BOA says
Supported Carriers include: Alltel, AT&T, Cellular One, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, U.S. Cellular ® , Verizon Wireless. so they are saying that Nextpulus is no good. By the way, google fi as I mentioned earlier is an MVNO of T-Mobile, so it is OK.
I used to have a Citi account, but when I stopped using it for some reason, I was told to close it sooner than expected (about 2 years ? ) "If you don't use it, I will close your account", and I made the mistake of leaving it alone at that time because it was too much trouble.

I opened a multi-currency account with Wise, connected to Chase and other accounts, and withdraw via ACH ( $ with a 50K/24h limit ). I think it would be better to compare the two accounts, depending on the amount, wire may have lower fees, but wire also has fees on the US account side, so I think it would be a good idea to include that in the comparison. Identity verification can be done with a photo ID ( my number card, Japanese driver's license, passport, etc. ) at the time of opening an account, and can be done with the application. You can convert to yen at the real rate in real time, and you can keep up to 1,000,000 yen in USD or JPY in your Wise Account and use your debit card to make payments or ATM withdrawals, and you can keep your balance of over 1,000,000 yen for 30 days. > Wise is easy to use for me personally because I can transfer up to 1,000,000 yen at a time ) with no limit on the number of times I can transfer.

If you want to wire directly from your US account to your Japanese account, why don't you inquire at USBank if it is possible to do so under your desired conditions?

Tobi Lord.

I searched for "cross in la jolla" and found it. I thought it was a statue of Christ and searched only for "Christ stature in la jolla", which was a mistake. It is a crucifix, isn't it? I was mistaken. I had read an article about it in Lighthouse before and had a vague recollection of it. I had always wanted to go there because it is free and has a great view of the ocean. Now I can finally go.  Thank you very much, everyone.
