I am interested in baking bread but have no experience. Does anyone know of a place that will hire me as an assistant with no experience ?
or a school that will train me?
I will practice on my own at home for a while.
Thank you very much.

Bake-san

Have you ever worked in a bakery ?

It would be nice if you could start out in baking, but even if not

there are many things you can learn if you work in a bakery.

I think there is a lot you can gain by working your way down, like a sushi chef or a chef.

Good luck.

Thank you Vicky, I will try to find a job in the Nikkei bakery.
I've looked at jobs at Nikkei bakeries, but none of them are looking for people with no experience, but if I wanted to start as a cashier and learn to bake for the first time, I might have a chance !
Thank you.

Medical bill from 3 years ago arrives today.

Question
#1
  • M
  • mail
  • 2024/01/27 19:50

I received a bill today from the hospital for medical expenses incurred in May 2021, and I remember that I already received and paid the bill around June 2021. I guess it could be the rest of the bill or something since the bill amount is different, but is it possible to get a bill that is 3 years old?

I changed insurance companies in January 2024, so is that why I am being charged something, or is it not the hospital's or insurance company's fault for not being able to bill me three years ago? Am I obligated to pay it?

I am going to call the hospital on Monday, but if anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, sometimes I get a bill when I forget about it. At any rate, I would check
what the bill ? is now and then ask the previous insurance company ? if this is something that has to be paid or not covered.
I'm not sure the hospital or insurance company would be liable unless it was a serious mistake.
"Oh, I forgot, you have to pay." So it's like.

In my case, on the contrary, last year I had to pay back the premium amount for a treatment that I was told was not covered by insurance. The treatment cost was several years ago. When I inquired about it, I was told that it took a long time to process the paperwork due to the office being closed due to Corona.

Dear Magires
Thank you for your advice. I checked with the hospital and Bill had sent it immediately after the clinic. He said that he had not received a single prompt after that, so he probably forgot about it. Also, I checked my credit card history and it seems that I did not pay for the year 2021, so I paid this time.


Dear rak
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I understand that it is possible to get back the other way around. I have been living in Hawaii for 7 years now and I thought I had a lot of things figured out, but this is the first time I have been baptized by a late bill.


Thank you both for your valuable stories. This time we resolved the issue by saying that the hospital forgot to bill you and I also forgot to pay. I am glad it was not a big surprise amount.

Has anyone received a letter from a company called NAVVIS stating that personal information of HMSA members has been compromised ?

If so, have you registered with Credit Monitoring as described in the letter ??

Did you enter your personal information ( birthday, social security number, address, etc ) after creating your Credit Monitoring account ?
I am a little reluctant to enter my social security number, but if I don't I don't see the point of monitoring if you don't.
If you don't mind, please let me know how you did it.

If the monitoring company is hacked by this, there is nothing I can do ( sweat ).

Medicine from Japan

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • Ybt
  • 2024/01/16 06:59

I'm thinking of having a bottle of my favorite medicine sent from Japan
it's an over-the-counter medicine for allergies and I love it because it works, but I've run out of it
the shipping site seems to have a special mark and I can't seem to send it and Amazon in the US doesn't carry it
I'm thinking of asking a friend to send it to me in a small box. I was wondering if you could give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost to have them sent in a small box
I'm thinking of asking a friend, but I'd like to find out as much as possible before I ask
It would be fine to have the pills sent in a ziplock without the bottle, but if anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. Please let me know if you have any experience with this.

You should check if the medicine can be sent by mail.
Some medicines can be brought in directly depending on their ingredients,
some require a doctor's prescription, and
some medicines cannot be brought in depending on the country.

Even over-the-counter drugs commonly sold in Japan may not be approved by the U.S. FDA without checking the details of their ingredients. If a foreigner is staying in the U.S. for a short period of time, he/she may bring a 90-day supply of the drug into the U.S. ) even if it is not ( FDA-approved. The reference URL is as follows.
https://www.fda.gov/industry/import-basics/personal-importation#foreign
However, it is possible that the contents of the mail may be confiscated by customs just because it is a medicine. However, it is possible that the contents of the invoice will be confiscated at customs inspection. However, if it is a so-called supplements, it may be OK. I imported Taisho Kampo gastrointestinal medicine from Japan under the name of supplements.
Therefore, the following four methods are recommended.
1 . Check the details of the ingredients of the medicine used in Japan ( You can usually find it on the internet. ) and look for over-the-counter drugs in the U.S. that contain those same ingredients.
2 . If you can't find the same thing, try an over-the-counter drug in the US that contains the main ingredient of that drug.
3 . Give the doctor details ( of the drug's ingredients in English ) and ask for a prescription for a drug with similar effects.
4 . Try to import it from Japan under the name of supplements. ( The possibility of confiscation at customs will be great. )

About Hana Hau'oli School

Question

  • 2023/10/13 15:30

I'm sorry to say that I recently saw a topic about how difficult it is to get into a Montessori community school !
In fact, my daughter did not get into the 3 year old class at a Montessori community school this year, but I am considering trying at the 4 year old level.
We are also considering Hana Hau'oli School, which sounds like a great idea. Please let me know if you are a parent of a child who has actually attended Hana Hau'oli School, or if you know if Hana Hau'oli School is also difficult, or if the middle level after graduating from Hana Hau'oli School is good enough to get into Punahou or Iolani.
I am not aware of anyone around me who attends Hana Hau'uolis School
so I thought I'd put this topic up here.

Dear Aloha
Thank you very much. I guess Hana Hau'oli School is also
more difficult … than Montessori Community School.
The tuition is $ 27,000 for a preschool and … more expensive than mid-pack. Besides, if the school is in the top 10%, it is definitely difficult to get in. …
Thank you for your valuable feedback ♪.

Dear Topi
It is so difficult that 2 daughters and 1 son tried but couldn't get in ! Hana Hau'oli is only a 4 year old exam, so if you don't get in at 4, you have almost no chance of getting in !
All 3 of ours failed, but good luck, Topi !!

My daughter attends Hana Hau'oli.
I sent my 2 and 3 year old to MCS as mentioned above.
My daughter has adjusted easily to Montessori and Hana Hau'oli because the educational concepts are similar.
Hana Hau'oli is also a global school with many bilingual children. Hana Hau'oli is also a global school, so there are many bilingual children there. Hana Hau'oli's educational concept is also global and emphasizes education in cooperation with families, so
children who are bilingual from an early age (Japanese and English, etc.) may be suited to Hana Hau'oli. In fact, bilingual children are born with the natural ability to automatically distinguish and use two or three different languages, and it was said that infants who can manipulate multiple languages have very high learning ability.
Natural language brain, pronunciation of each language, and bilingual brain are said to be acquired in an environment before the age of 3. Neither I nor anyone else in my family graduated from Hana Hau'oli, and I took the test thinking it was impossible.
Chances are few but they are there !
The school, the education, the teachers, everything is great.

Hello. My child is also going to take the Hanahau'oli exam. There are a lot of kids in the same preschool who are taking the test
I am wondering how big the turnout will be, even though there are only a little over 20 places available.
And since priority is given to those with legacy or family members who have attended the school, I think families with no connections at all will almost never get in.
The school has a strong family bond after graduation, so it is the kind of school that your ancestors can attend. We don't have any connections, so we are going to try to get a tutor. My interview is in early February. I will start interviewing this weekend.
The parent activity ? interview thing seems to be different every year, some years it's a reading aloud from a children's book in English, some years it's an introdon ! like
a nursery rhyme in English that is played and then sung, etc. ? It's a bit different exam . It seems to be.
I am very excited to see what the subject will be this year. Let's do our best !.

14.00 per hour

I read that the minimum hourly wage is now $14.00 and the tip rate in restaurants has been increased, requiring that a minimum of $21.00 per hour be paid by the employer plus tips.
Is this applicable to kitchen staff and not servers ?
Is the employer responsible for any missing tips ??

If a company uses the tip credit ( system ) which allows tipped employees to be paid an hourly rate lower than the normal minimum wage, the system requires that the employee be paid at least $ 21 per hour, so if the company pays the minimum wage $ 14, then would not add anything.

This is the case for "Minimum Wage Calculation Table [When Using Tip Credit]" as shown in the PDF that Mr. Justice Wins is sending me.
I am an employer using Tip Credit.
If you are a kitchen staff member and you are paid $14 per hour, the employer does not have to pay you any more.
Overtime must be paid at 1.5 times the hourly rate.
