CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST GROUP THAT ALLEGEDLY BROKE INTO VENDING MACHINGE AFTER NOTO EARTHQUAKE - JAPAN

CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST GROUP THAT ALLEGEDLY BROKE INTO VENDING MACHINGE AFTER NOTO EARTHQUAKE - JAPAN

@Jackie San


Desperate times call for desperate measures, or so the saying goes. But how desperate should times be when you’re allowed to break into a vending machine to get a drink? A recent incident in which evacuees did just that in the wake of the Note Earthquake prompted a debate about whether any time is desperate enough. At the same time, it also managed to provoke a conversation about journalistic integrity, too.


It all started with an article posted by Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, which initially reported the incident on January 6. In it, the newspaper reported that a witness had testified that a vending machine at Anamizu High School had been broken into and its drinks and cash stolen.


The article wrote that, according to the 30-year-old witness and the school, the incident had occurred on the night of January 1, shortly after the earthquake, when about 100 people had evacuated to the school grounds in the wake of tsunami warnings. Around 8 p.m., the article stated, four or five men and women in their 40s or 50s pulled up in a car with a Kanazawa license plate, entered the school, which was reportedly locked up but accessible because its windows had shattered in the quake, and, citing “an emergency”, broke open the vending machine with a tool that looked like a chainsaw and stole the cash and drinks inside.


“A shrill noise echoed throughout the school,” the witness reportedly said. “The evacuation center became embroiled in panic, and nobody could stop them.” The principal of the school, Kenichi Shimazaki, was reported as saying, “This incident is unforgivable because it made the evacuees feels unsafe.” Together with the article was a photo of a vending machine that appeared to have been opened up and ripped apart.



However, another newspaper, Hokkoku Shimbun, presented a differing account of the events. On January 6, they reported that the alleged group had wrenched open the vending machine with a tool and set out the drinks for the evacuees. The newspaper reported speaking to the people who broke into the machine, who said, “We’re evacuees ourselves, and we checked with the people in charge whether we could break into the machine to supply drinks.” According to Hokkoku Shimbun, the local police were not considering it to be criminal activity.


Perhaps as a result of the questions that arose from their first article, and the Hokkoku Shimbun article reporting contrasting facts, the original Yomiuri Shimbun article disappeared with no notice from the newspaper (though it is preserved in Internet archives), and on January 20 they published a new article stating that Hokuriku Coca-Cola, the company that manages Coca-Cola vending machines in Ishikawa prefecture, filed a criminal complaint on January 18. According to the article, a representative said, “We had not given permission for the machine to be broken into. Just because an emergency situation has occurred does not always mean such actions are allowed.”


Notably, this article omits any mention of cash being stolen, but reports that the drinks were “removed and distributed to the evacuees, and the machine was destroyed without permission from the company or the school.” The prefectural police, it was reported, were speaking to people associated with the incident in order to determine if it was a case of property damage.


It then continued by stating that a group of four or five men and women, citing “an emergency”, broke into the vending machine around 8 p.m. on January 1 using a tool, destroyed the interior, and removed the drinks to distribute to the evacuees. There was no further mention of a car with a Kanazawa license plate, though the article did reiterate that the school was locked up, in spite of broken glass providing access.


The article lastly reported that at the time, there were no teachers or administrators on campus, and therefore no one to give permission to break into the machine. The principal said that he “only heard after the fact from an acquaintance that the expensive vending machine had been broken without permission.”


A follow-up article was then published by Yomiuri Shimbun on January 23, which reported that a woman confessed to breaking open the vending machine and apologized to Hokuriku Coca-Cola by phone, stating, “I wasn’t in my right mind after the earthquake. There were people who had evacuated with their children, so I came up with the idea to give them water. I’m very sorry.” Apparently, she also offered to reimburse the company, but a representative from Hokuriku Coca-Cola is quoted as saying the company will not be demanding repayment for damages and won’t be filing a criminal complaint against her, because “it was a case of unusual circumstances right after an earthquake.”


It was also revealed by Yomiuri that two other vending machines were also pried open and their contents distributed to the evacuees, but the companies that own them, Megmilk Snow and Meiji, have not stated whether they will file for damages or not.


Following the report that Hokuriku Coca-Cola will not be pressing damages, online reactions have included:


“I appreciate Coca-Cola’s generosity and thoughtfulness.”


“Well, Coca-Cola does donate tens of thousands bottles of Irohasu water immediately after earthquakes. This vending machine incident shows that they’re a wonderful company.”


“Since it was an emergency, that’s the response I’d expect from them.”


“I think I’ll have a Coke today.”


“I think it’s magnificent that they won’t be asking for compensation because of this special circumstances. However, it’d be a problem if people start thinking they can break into vending machines in emergencies.”


“Good job, Coca-Cola. The person who called to apologize and offer repayment is also impressive.”

WHAT IS SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING AND UNDERSTAND THEIR DIFFERENCE

Skiing is a sport that makes use of a pair of skis for traveling on snow. Snowboarding is a sport where the participant descends a snowy slope with a single snowboard attached to his feet. Equipment (Number of boards) 2 - A pair of skis appended to boots by way of binding.

@Jackie San


Skiing and snowboarding are ways of moving over snow with boards attached to the feet; practiced mostly as recreation or sport, but often as conveyance.


Skiing is a kind of sport that uses a pair of skis to travel over snow. The skis are bound to boots, and progress is one foot at a time. On the other hand, snowboarding involves traveling on snow on a single snowboard attached to boots. Snowboarding is inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding.


History & Evolution

Skiing was invented by prehistoric people (Samis, Nordic) mainly as means of transportation and for hunting. Documented evidence of origin of skiing is found in Norway and Sweden. The origin of skiing as recreation and sport is attributed to Sondre Norheim (Father of Modern Skiing). He is responsible for the creation of skiing templates and all modern versions of skiing have originated from this. Telemark skiing or telemarking was common in 19th century and has since then been revived. New technique called the snow plow or stem technique has made snow slopes friendlier to beginners. The Arlberg technique is largely responsible for making skiing a very popular recreational activity.


The snowboard is believed to have been developed in 1970s in Utah. The first snowboard was called the Snurfer and was designed by Sherman Poppen for his daughter in 1965. The Snurfer began to be manufactured as a toy from the following year. The 1970s and 1980s saw snowboarding evolving into a popular recreational sport. Dimitri Milovich developed snowboard designs and started his own company called WinterStick. Jake Burton Carpenter, Tom Sims, Chuck Barfoot and Mike Olson are largely responsible for the snowboards and mechanisms that is currently in used today.


Types & Styles

SKIING 
Skiing:man leaning forward, facing ahead
Skiing:man leaning forward, facing ahead

Skiing primarily consists is of two types:

Telemark Alpine or Downhill skiing

Apart from these there are many other types of skiing:


Freestyle skiing:

  • Alpine freestyle – using aerial acrobatics and balance by rails (jibbing).
  • Freestyle / Newschool – trick like twin tip, flips, spins etc are associated with this type of skiing.
  • Freesking / Freeride – is doe on steeper slopes, cliffs etc. There is requirement for fatter skis.

Nordic skiing:

  • Nordic skiing – also known as Cross Country skiing. Can be freestyle or classic. All techniques are allowed except skating techniques.
  • Nordic jumping – also known as ski flying and ski jumping. Performed with Nordic style skis.

Military skiing - used as means of military transport apart from being enjoyed as recreation and sport. Army troops are trained for ski warfare which uses military skiing techniques. Biathlon, the sport owes its origin to military skiing patrols.

Kite skiing - skiing while being carried or pulled by kite, hang glider or parasail.

Paraskiing - done after jumping off from a plane or starting at high altitude.

Adaptive skiing – done by individuals with disabilities.

Dry slope skiing – done on artificial snow, dirt or dry snow.


SNOWBOARDING


Snowboarding is done in many styles which are used for recreational as well as in professional snowboarding.

  • Jibbing and Rail riding – riders jump over rails and obstacles.
  • Free riding – this is the most common and is easily accessible. It is simple riding down any terrain.
  • Dry Slope – snowboarding over man made slopes for the purpose during summer or in places where there is no snow.
  • Freestyle – rider uses manmade obstacles and terrain features to perform tricks and jumps.
  • Free carve – is also known as alpine snowboarding. Riders ride over hard packed snow and the focus is on carving turns.

Techniques Used

Skiing, makes use of poles to assist skiers as they move downhill or uphill and support them when they are in an upright position. It is necessary for snowboard riders to frequently seat themselves and exert more energy to remain on edge when they are at a stop.

Both a snowboarder and a skier hold the same kind of expertise but with respect to sheer velocity, skiing gains an upper hand over snowboarding. Skiers are faster than snowboarders.


Effect on the body

Skiing relatively affects the knees more when compared to snowboarding. Injuries and accidents related to the knee and broken bones occur largely in skiing. Snowboarding is more harmful to the wrists.


Competition

Skiing competitions are organized by International Ski Federation and this body is responsible for rules and regulations, scheduling of competitions etc. each county has its own national association which manages the competitions. The US Ski and Snowboard Association handle competitive skiing in America.


The Air & Style, Burton Global Open Series, Shakedown, X-Trail Jam, X-Games are large snowboarding contests. The Ticket to Ride is the largest grand finale of all independent free style events under the Tour Flag. It is officially recognized as TTR.


IT'S SNOW FUN : SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING ?

Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling activities and great workouts. Both sports are excellent cardiovascular exercises that strengthen the heart. They are also weight-bearing exercises. So hey strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles.


Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for ongoing (chronic) diseases. They lower your blood pressure. And they help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.


It's important to prepare your body for the challenges of these demanding winter sports with some pre-skiing and pre-snowboarding exercises. These exercises will strengthen you and get you fit enough to handle the slopes. You also need the correct equipment and lessons to teach you needed skills. If you have any chronic medical illnesses, are a smoker, or have not exercised in a while or at all, talk to your healthcare provider before skiing or snowboarding.  


Get ready


Start by training your body for these sports a few months before your first lesson. Think about working out with a personal trainer. You and your trainer can create a fitness plan and exercises best suited to help you get into shape before skiing or snowboarding.


Next, sign up for private or group lessons from a qualified skiing or snowboarding instructor. You'll learn skills and safety guidelines like how to protect yourself. And you'll even learn how to fall to keep from getting hurt.


Ski and snowboard tips


Once you're fit and know the basics—and even after you're an expert—you still need to take certain safety steps to stay safe on your skis or snowboard. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of your winter workout and have more fun on the slopes:

  • Use the right equipmentWhether buying or renting, choose skiing or snowboarding equipment that's in good shape, of good quality, and fits you correctly. Protect yourself with a helmet made for skiing; goggles; shin, wrist, and arm guards; and gloves that fit correctly. Ski boots and bindings should be checked and adjusted by a ski professional. You should always double check your bindings before you head down the slope.


  • Pay attention. Keep a close eye on the trail, stay on course and on courses designed for your skill level. Be on the lookout for dangerous ice and stay away from it whenever possible. Always know the snow conditions before you ski or snowboard. If you are unsure of the conditions, check with the local Ski Patrol. Know and follow the rules of the ski resort.


  • Pace yourselfStart out the day with a few slow, easy runs to warm up. Remember not to push yourself too hard or try a course that's beyond your skill level. Always snowboard or ski with a buddy. When you feel tired or if your muscles feel weak, take a break.


  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids when you're on the slopes all day. But stay away from alcohol. In addition to eating a healthy breakfast and lunch, you might want to pack healthy snack bars in a parka pocket.


  • Know what to do in an emergencyAccidents happen. And things don't always go as planned. Know what to do if you or someone in your group has an injury, hypothermia (a drop in body temperature that can be dangerous), or frostbite.  


Skiing and snowboarding are exercises that make winter truly fun. Just remember that both are serious sports that need preparation, safety measures, and skills. So as soon as the air turns crisp, make sure to start working on winter fitness and you'll be prepared when the first snowflakes fall.

ONE DAY THINGS TO DO AT YUFUIN

1- STROLL ALONG THE YUNOTSUBO KAIDO

@Jackie San


As you exit Yufuin station, you can walk straight ahead to the Yufuin main street (湯の坪街道) which lined with shops, restaurants and souvenir shops. If you stroll through the path, it’ll reward you with quaint Kinrin Lake (金鱗湖). There are no tall buildings except traditional houses with snow-capped mountains surrounded.

Further walked in, the shops will change into a variety of artisan boutiques, cute shops and food stalls along the path. Plenty of shops selling local specialties, souvenirs, and snacks.


2- KOZENIN TEMPLE 

(900m from Yufuin Ski or about 13 minutes walk)


@Jackie San


Is is said that KOZENIN TEMPLE, a Zen Temple of the Soto sect, was opened by Muchaku, a Zen priest, in 1370. This is a temple where Priest Zenkai, who constructed the Blue Tunnel in Yabakei Valley, Nakatsu, by himself, entered the Buddhist priesthood and received thorough training. There are Sixteen Arhats, statues of Priest Zenkai and his wife Oyumi, thirteen Buddha images, a horse-headed Kannon Bosatsu image, and a variety of other stone Buddha images in the quiet precincts. Furthermore, the hydrangeas in the precincts in the rainy season are beautiful.


3- OGOSYA SHRINE

(1.8 km from Kozenin Temple or about 25 minutes walk)

@Jackie San

An agricultural deity is enshrined in Ogosya Shrine, which is one of the six subordinate shrines of Unaguhime-jinjya Shrine. It is said that Ogosya Shrine and Unaguhime-jinjya Shrine were opened about the same time. There are comparatively large and small miniature shrines, where Fukutoku Inari (a deity) is enshrined. Three is a sacred cedar that has been designated as an important cultural property of Japan since 1934 in the precincts. This tree is said to be more than 1,000 years old with a periphery of 13.5 meters and a height of 35 meters. There is a large cavity on the back (south side) of the trunk, which is wide enough to accommodate three tatami mats (approximately 5.5 square meters). It was reported that flames leaped into this cavity from a garbage fire in the New Year`s Eve of 1897 and the cavity continued burning for two years, two months, and two days, when smoke erupted from a hole of the trunk that was located 30 m above the ground. People thought that the big cedar would die, but it has been alive vigorously with lush foliage.


3- UNAGUHIME-JINJYA SHRINE

(1.4 km from Ogosya Shrine or about 19 minutes walk)

@Jackie San

This shrine is familiar for the local people of YUFUIN by the name of Rokusho-gu or Rokusho-sama. Rokusho, which literally means six places in Japanese, refers to six god images enshrined. Yufuin has a swamp with ruins of the Yayoi and succeeding periods, and it is said that eels, were believed to be the spirits of the swamp and enshrined as ancient deities. Yufuin has been used as a logging area several times in the past. According to an ancient document that still exists, timbers were collected from Rokusho-gu to construct Yusuhara Hachiman Shrine in Bungo Ichinomiya late in the age of Civil Wars in Japan, when Otomo Yoshimune ruled the area. The precincts are more than 33,000 square meters wide, and they used to be surrounded by old cedar trees. Typhoon number 19 of 1991, however, struct down most of the big cedar trees there. These trees included a sacred tree estimated to be 600 years old, but the stump of the tree has been enshrined since then.


4- BUSSANJI TEMPLE

(850 m from Unaguhime-JInya Shrine or about 13 minutes walk)

@Jackie San

This temple surrounded by the nature of Lake Kinkiro, Mt Yufu, and YUFUIN, is one of the important temples for the local people of YUFUIN. The temple opened approximately 1,000 years ago, when the founder constructed a hermitage on the mountain`s breast and enshrined the sculpture of a Kannon image there by a divine revelation at Kirishima Shrine in Hyuga, the temple has been popular since ancient times as a place of worship in Mt Yufu. The temple was damaged by a great earthquake that occurred in the Keicho period, and then the temple, was moved to the current location. The main gate with a thatched roof in particular, as well as the Main Hall with a copperplate-thatched roof and the cypress-made Kannondo Hall is impressive. In the quiet precincts, visitors can enjoy seeing seasonal flowers and trees, such as rhododendron flowers, ginkgo trees, Goshiki-yae-chiritsubaki camellias with flower petals falling one after another. (Ginkgo trees and Goshiki-yae-chiritsubaki camellias have been designated as protected species).


5- KINRINKO LAKE

(500m from Bussanji Temple or about 7 minutes walk)

@Jackie San


Lake Kinrinko is a natural rich symbol of YUFUIN. This lake was called "Taken seitan ike" in the dialect of Oita, which means the pond on the foot of the mountain, because it is located on the foot of Mt. YUFU. It reportedly got its name from Mori Kuso, a Confucian scholar, who spotted a fish with scales that glittered like gold swimming there at sunset in 1884. It is an unusual lake with an outer periphery approximately 400 m, into which hot spring water flows while fresh water gushes from the bottom of the lake. Therefore, the water temperature is high throughout the year, and you can see fantastic scenery, where mist rises from the surface of the lake when the outdoor temperature falls from autumn to winter. It is said that this beautiful morning mist that surrounds the basin is vapour from the lake that contains hot spring water. There is a promenade where you can stroll slowly.


6- BEAUTIFUL ENTIRE IMAGE OF MT. YUFU

@Jackie San


Mt. YUFU which is 1,584 meters high, stands towering in the northeastern part of the YUFUIN BASIN and consists of an east peak and west peak. This mountain is cone-shaped, and that is the reason the mountain is known as Bungofuji (i.e., the Mt. Fuji of the Bungo area). Mt. Yufu has been revered as a holy mountain, and the name of the mountain is found in Bungo Topography and Man` Doshu (the oldest existing collection of Japanese poetry). People can see the unique shape of the mountain from any part in town, and that is the reason the mountain listed in the Hundred Famous Japanese Mountains, are seen from the summit. Visitors can view as far as Mt. Hiko in the border of Oita Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture and Mt. Unzen in Nagasaki Prefecture, if weather permits. At the foot of the mountain, people can see yellow violas in spring, Miyama-Kirishima azalea flowers in summer, red leaves of mountain cherry trees and maple trees in autumn, and rime in winter. This is a mountain with many climbers throughout the year. The hilly mountain in front of Mt. Yufu is Mt. Limorigajo with an altitude of 1060 meters. This mountain consists of an area of pasture with no trees growing. The foothill landscape of Mt. YUFU and the prairie landscape of Mt. Imorigajo are maintained with open burning in order to prevent pests and forest fires.

NINE ISLAMIST MILITANTS KILLED IN PHILIPPINES CLASH - PHILIPPINE

NINE ISLAMIST MILITANTS KILLED IN PHILIPPINES CLASH - PHILIPPINE  

@Jackie San


MANILA (January 27, 2024): Nine Islamist militants including three suspects in a Catholic mass bombing in the southern Philippines have been killed in a clash with troops, the military said today.


Army soldiers shot it out with about 15 Dawlah Islamiyah suspects hiding out at a mountain farm close to the remote southern municipality of Piagapo on Thursday, the commander of the military unit said.


The firefight left nine of the gunmen dead and four soldiers wounded, including two who were taken to hospital with “serious” wounds, army brigade commander Brigadier-General Yegor Rey Barroquillo told AFP.


He said three of the six suspects in the bombing of a Catholic mass at a school in the southern city of Marawi last month were among those killed in Thursday’s fighting.


“Of the nine, three had direct participation in the MSU bombing,” Barroquillo said, referring to the December 4 blast at Mindanao State University in Marawi that left four people dead and dozens wounded.


Barroquillo said three other bombing suspects were still on the run including the alleged mastermind, a former student at the university who went by the alias of “Engineer”.


Army Scout Rangers, trained in jungle combat, crept up to a cluster of mountain farmhouses where the suspects had sought refuge to evade the post-bombing manhunt.


“Six (gunmen) were able to escape and in our assessment the Engineer was among them,” Barroquillo said, adding the farmers had left the area earlier this month after the gunmen arrived.


Militant attacks on buses, Catholic churches and public markets have been a feature of decades-long unrest in the south.


Manila signed a peace pact with the nation’s largest rebel group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, in 2014, ending their deadly armed rebellion.


But smaller bands of Muslim fighters opposed to the peace deal remain, including militants professing allegiance to the Islamic State group.
