Save Sojo-city where had the flood diserster

The heavy rain caused the river flooding that damaged Joso-city, Ibaraki prefecture.
More than 1,000 houses got damaged or flooded.  Then, Japan Self-defense forces, fire fighters, police, and the rescue groups were looking for the missing people.

This reminded me the tsunami that was caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 in my hometown, Miyako, especially when I saw those pictures of flooded city appeared on my SNS timelines from my friends there.

Because my hometown, Miyako, Iwate had many help not only from other prefectures in Japan, but also from all over the world, I feel this time is my turn to give the people in Joso, Ibaraki some support.
So, I believe this is one of what I could do: writing the English blog article for the English readers who are willing to give them some support.

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS?  Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.)

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week.  Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login.            I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet.    What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias.        Well, these are my new pages:    Please give your "like" on my pages.  You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.
