Japan's first Santa Claus December 24, 1874, Hara Taneaki was baptized by the missionaries, and out of gratitude, he was enthusiastic about having a grand Christmas, and began preparations under the guidance of the missionaries. After thinking about what to do with Santa Claus, he ended up with a feudal lord-like style, wearing a kamishimo, a sword, and an Omori wig. The person who played the role of Santa was a man named Toda Tadaatsu (an evangelist at Kanazawa Tonomachi Church), and this seems to have been the only time Santa appeared. Kamishimo is a type of formal Japanese clothing for men, and a sword means a sword. In a word. There are no elements of Santa Claus at all.

Artem Kliuchnikov and his family fled Ukraine just days before the Russian invasion. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. As such, the SC would like to remind investors to always exercise caution when evaluating investment opportunities, especially those promising unrealistically high returns with little or no risk. Investors should also never deposit money into someone’s personal bank account if instructed. False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects.
