Trial for amendment of Article 11 of the Nationality Law
Under the current Japanese Nationality Law, a person "automatically" loses Japanese nationality if he/she voluntarily acquires the nationality of another country.
Now, plaintiffs residing in Switzerland and other countries are fighting in court to amend this. I think this is an important trial for those of us living in the US.
There is a petition campaign on change.org to amend Article 11 of the Nationality Law. Currently, about 43,000 votes have been collected, but it would be great if more people would sign the petition. The next trial will be held in September. By the way, I am an individual and not a member of this association.

electric utility expense

Family of 3 (one college student) in condo, 2 bed 1100 sq ft, electric bill this month is $350
$268, also higher last month. Air conditioner set to 83F, dryer about once a week for 40 minutes hardly used.

Dishwashing every day. Two computers, one TV. Called electrician, but he said it might be the panel.
I looked on the internet to see how much it would cost and it was over $2000. The refrigerator was not working well
and the electrician told me that it might be because of the fan of the refrigerator
. It is difficult to unplug the power supply from the refrigerator because it is a plug-in refrigerator.
I also heard that the electricity bill is going to increase by 17% from now on, and it is very difficult to live. I think there is a problem or a malfunction, but do you know where I can get it checked out? Thank you in advance.

Unexpectedly large Korean criminal organization

I am a Fort Lee resident. I found out once before that a person from Korea used my address without my permission and later used my address without my permission to receive welfare benefits. I refrained from contacting the police or the welfare office because it is not a big town like New York. I just asked the person to stop using my address, and when my child cried because of the harassment, the police were called.
I have been absolutely careful since then, but now I have a very unpleasant experience with a mom friend of mine who was involved with my kids and we had a mutual friend who I had no choice but to hang out with at first, so please hear me out. Let's say her name is J. Our condo has amenities where people can get together, have barbecues, pools, etc., but J came over under the guise of a playdate for the kids. J came over on the pretext of having a play date with her kids, and since I couldn't open the door to this area without a digital key, I lent her the key. A few hours later, J had successfully lost the key and I was nearly in tears. Later that night I received a text message from him saying that he was sorry because his child had accidentally put the key in his pocket. I was relieved and got the key back a few days later, but for some reason the nagging bad feeling never went away.
On Memorial Day, this mutual friend of ours asked us to have a BBQ at our condo, so we did our best to prepare a BBQ for the kids' friends who were coming. Of course, J came too, and the kids returned first, leaving her alone. I was busy cleaning up and taking care of the kids when J asked me for the key again. 20 or 30 minutes later he didn't come back, which I thought was strange, but nothing happened and the day was over. A few days later I was going to the DMV and needed to bring my ID, so I was going to bring my passport and my green card, which I always keep with me, when I noticed that it was missing along with my credit card. I was going to take my passport and my green card, which I always keep with me, when I noticed that they were missing along with my credit card. I also thought that I should be very careful because I am the mother of a child's classmate. However, I later learned from another Korean mother that she was an illegal immigrant. I did some googling and found out that the indentityft consisting of illegal immigrants of Korean descent is a big problem. I am by no means anti-Korean or racist. But I would like to make sure that Japanese people like me who don't know such things in the US should be aware of it. Of course I have seen many fine Koreans. But unfortunately, there are many criminals among them. And their ways are very devious and egregious. It is easy to be easy to forgive them because they are Asian, but please keep in mind that their senses are basically completely different from Japanese people. And please do not invite people you do not know well to your house or premises.

Has the OC garbage disposal method changed ?
my landlord said that from now on all food scraps will be taken out and put directly into the cans
I'm not sure if I can use garbage bags like before
I can't find anything on Google, so I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this....

Hi, I'm an older guy currently living in New Jersey and considering moving to Orlando.

My daughter was told by her early intervention teacher and child psychologist that
she is developmentally disabled and
should see a specialist
and we are waiting for a diagnosis
but her symptoms are autism (hyperactivity, intellectual disability).
He cannot speak a single word.
I am going to do a lot of research and think about what I can do for my daughter,
but
I would be happy to exchange
information and talk with people who have children like her.

Please let me know where in the Los Angeles area I can get a corona-negative certificate, which I will need when I return to Japan. I already know of Japanese hospitals affiliated with travel agencies, so if there are any other places that can do this at a reasonable price, please let me know.

Just do a PCR test.
With the weak yen, it would be a waste not to have a good time in Japan.

I got married internationally and applied for a green card, travel permit, and EAD card at the end of last October.
I had my green card interview at the end of April this year, and I received my green card successfully.
However, I still have no movement on my travel permit and EAD card. However, I still have no movement of my travel permit and EAD card. I am thinking of going back to Japan this fall, but I wonder if it is better not to go back. ?
In case you are wondering, I did not use a lawyer for this application, and I did it by myself.

I have been wondering about something that I have not been able to clarify, so I would be glad if anyone here can help me.
I know that you cannot open a Japanese account when you live abroad, but ① it is not illegal to keep the account you opened when you lived in Japan after moving abroad, right?
However, ② if you leave it for about 5 years, it will be frozen, although the period varies depending on the bank. Is that considered as being used if there is a wire transfer and not frozen ??
