The Depak people, who live in central Siberia, used underground caves as trading posts to escape the harsh winter cold. The Russian word for the Depak people, Депачка (depachka), later became a word referring to an underground store. This word was introduced to Japan in the early Showa period and came to mean the food section in the basement of a department store . https://t.co/M6hgmyYMt8

I'm of the opinion that people who make conditions after the fact are generally lame, but I once went to the supermarket with my 8-year-old and said, 'I'll buy you one candy, so choose whatever you want,' and he chose a 1kg bucket of Haribo candy, and I replied, 'That's just not OK.' pic.twitter.com/NGrFGDkqYB

Some kind of knife? Apparently the person who was brandishing it was arrested. The culprit? He was pinned down and in a pinch for a while, but then he was wrapped up in some kind of big sheet and carried away. It looks like no one was injured, so that's good.pic.twitter.com/RP0EkHRbUv

The man who is said to have had a dispute with the hunting association in Shakotan Town is apparently a dairy farmer, so he seems to be sensitive to bear damage which directly affects his livelihood, and at the budget review committee in March of this year he spoke out quite harshly about the extermination budget and hunters' compensation, so this is likely to be the root of the problem.

My husband is currently in a similar situation, but in a different city. When we moved, his tax information was swapped with someone else's, and even though he's just a regular company employee and hasn't changed jobs, he's been treated as unpaid. As a result, even though he pays his employee pension, his national pension is being seized, and he's being charged the highest amount for childcare fees because he hasn't declared them...
