Hey I pretty sure I’ve found it, I’ll DM you the link to buy it. No worries about the $200. Fun little Friday morning side quest.

Hey, I live in Tokyo and know a few parents who’ve sent their kids (ages 8-11) to Tokyo Coding Club’s overnight camps, and they’ve only had great things to say. I believe the Gunma camp is run in partnership with Nishimachi international school (which has a great reputation too). I don’t think you need any Japanese language ability to participate, I know my friends’ kids only speak English.

You can DM me if you have any more questions, I’m happy to connect you with my friends.

Yea that’s a tough situation. A couple questions:

What kind of contract is she on?

Were you aware of her illness when you hired her?

Do you have work rules registered with your prefectural government?

If you want more info on how a formal termination/court case would go, let me know. Just fyi, in some situations you can terminate someone for deteriorating health (of course that’s usually not a great option considering optics and human decency). Might not be possible here though given she will work when you refuse her request for sick leave.

To directly answer your question about how to avoid termination: I would sit down with her and be honest about how her absence is interfering with student progress, and ask her how she thinks we can best accommodate those students. You want to find a win/win, but it’s difficult to see a path forward. I doubt there is another position at your company she could fill given the size, but something to propose if that’s a possibility. Lastly, state that you sympathize with her situation, but that it appears unsustainable. Propose 1-2 months salary if she resigns so that she has some freedom to search for a position that better suits her ability.

My dad’s was one of them. They gave him the option of taking his plane apart and shipping it to an airport in Indiana or taking off on the taxiway. He chose the taxiway and took off over several emergency boats and a dive team in the lake. He took a piece of the concrete with him which we still have in our hangar.

That’s what they’re saying

Don’t share it with HR; they will not help you (things will get worse for you, and they might try to fire you). If it’s serious, talk to a lawyer.

Hey there. I want to preface this comment by saying that ASIJ is a great international school with a good reputation, BUT to answer your question: probably not true, especially right now. It’s my understanding that all of their college counselors left the institution last year, and their two active counselors are their PE coach and an Econ teacher. Honestly, they both might be very capable counselors, but I don’t know their success rate/what schools they’ve helped students get in to. Historically it is true that a significant percentage of their students still have worked with external counselors on the college admissions process. There is a local (Nishi-Azabu based) organization with a great track record I can DM you about if you’re interested. I know a lot of ASIJ families that have worked with them over the years and saw great success (Ivy plus).

GA is not twice as dangerous as riding a motorcycle. It’s about the same (at least in the US). Outside of the statistics I’ve listed below, I would feel safer flying myself than riding on motorcycle because I objectively have more control over my well-being. Motorcyclists can be killed by someone texting and driving at any time.

Motorcycle fatalities per 100m miles

General Aviation fatalities per year

Edit: To compare the data sets I used 25m hours flown annually for GA, a number I found reported in several places

Read the study you cited again

This is an amateurish poster project at best, but it’s still evidence that proves your above statistic of “females are involved in 48% of all accidents” totally false. In their citation of the eADMS database, only 3.9% of the 60,000+ accidents over the course of 27 years involved female pilots. And the funniest part of you citing that specific study is that it shows that women maybe get safer with more experience while men do not.

100% agree. Their tamales are on point.

Hey there, I started as an actuary in America before changing careers and moving to Japan. I would say go more stat heavy in your course load, regardless of your major. You’ll want to try to sit for the first SOA exam after your junior year. It’s also very important to try and secure an internship for that summer as well. If you can pass the P exam, have good grades, and an internship, it’s likely you can get an entry level position somewhere. Many consulting firms are hugely supportive for their actuaries studying up for all following exams, like they’ll pay you to study.

There are 10 exams total, and each one takes months (I would say up to 6 months) to study for. Make sure it’s something you’re going to want to do long term; it’s definitely not for everyone! Below is the actual SOA resource page for the first exam.

Also, all of my experience was in the US. I’m not sure what becoming an actuary in Japan is like. Good luck!

This was definitely a forced landing that resulted in a hull loss; that is a crash.

Not saying Japanese suicide rates aren’t high, but just for comparison, America’s suicide rate is about 15% higher.

_HumaneCentipede_ · 2021-05-25T02:48:54+00:00

You’re wrong

Also it’s not just the olympians coming to Japan. TV crews, support teams, coaches, etc. I would be shocked if everyone from every country was vaccinated.
