Disaster Preparedness / Preventing Heatstroke During Power Outages, Knowing the Signs
When the power goes out during a typhoon or if there is a power outage in the summer, air conditioners will not work, increasing the risk of heatstroke. Power outages can last for a long time, and it is necessary to know how to keep cool without relying on electrical appliances. You should also keep in mind what to do if you suspect heatstroke. ***According to the Japan Meteorological Agency's three-month forecast, the average nationwide temperature from June through August is expected to be higher than usual. 'In recent years, the summer heat has been extremely severe, and it is essential to take measures to prevent heatstroke on a regular basis,' said preparation and disaster prevention advisor Tomoya Takani. 'Consider preparations with goods that you usually use to prevent heatstroke.' Such items include portable fans that come with a battery and can be used even during power outages. However, fans will blow hot air in a room without air conditioning, which may increase the risk of heatstroke. If you wet your T-shirt with water, you can use the evaporation to cool your body. Power banks that are used to charge smartphones can also charge portable fans. If the power bank uses AA or AAA batteries, you can use the batteries from a TV remote or other device. In addition, you should also prepare neck coolers and sprays containing cooling ingredients like menthol. Make sure your room is well ventilated. Open at least two windows or doors to improve ventilation. It is important to open windows and doors on opposite sides of the room. Shades and drapes on windows can help prevent heat from direct sunlight. Clothing should be made of breathable and quick-drying materials such as polyester. 'Prepare for disaster while making good use of convenient tools,' said Takani. Measuring danger level 'If you are not used to the heat, you are more likely to suffer heatstroke,' said emergency physician Yasufumi Miyake, director of the Organization on Development and Progress for Education in Clinical Medicine. 'If the air conditioning is suddenly disabled in a disaster, the risk increases dramatically.' The risk level of heatstroke can be determined by the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), which is the index calculated from data such as temperature, humidity and solar radiation. According to the guidelines of the Japanese Society of Biometeorology, the WBGT index indicates a 'Severe Warning' for heatstroke between 28 C and 31 C, and when the index is 31 C or higher, the warning rises to 'Danger.' Miyake recommends installing a heatstroke meter or other device that displays the WBGT index at home to assess the risk of heatstroke. The Japan Meteorological Agency issues a 'heatstroke alert' when the WBGT index is estimated to be 33 C or higher. 'On days when temperatures are expected to rise, consider evacuating to a shelter with an emergency power supply or to an air-conditioned car, and take action as soon as possible,' said Miyake. You should also be aware of the symptoms of heatstroke. These include feeling dizzy, numbness in the arms and legs, a headache and nausea. If the person is barely conscious or unable to speak, call an ambulance as soon as possible. If the person can speak, move them to a shady area, give them water and salt and cool their neck and armpits. If their symptoms do not improve, have the person seek medical attention. 'If you notice anything unusual, suspect heatstroke,' said Miyake.

Crown Point man charged in second domestic violence case this year
A Crown Point man was charged with his second domestic violence case this year. Joseph I. Miyake, 37, was charged July 3 with two counts of domestic battery. He has pleaded not guilty in both cases. His lawyer Russell Brown did not respond to a request for comment Friday. When Crown Point police responded to Miyake's home on the 4800 block of W. 92nd Ave. on July 1 after a 911 call, he eventually admitted he broke a vase with a baseball bat, according to charging documents. His wife said he smashed a Google Home device after they started arguing. Then, he dragged her 6-year-old son by his shirt toward the door and told him, 'get out.' The boy said afterwards his neck hurt. The woman said Miyake took a baseball bat and destroyed a vase on the kitchen counter. A broken piece flew off and hit her near her eye. In handcuffs, Miyake collapsed momentarily outside. He was taken to the hospital then transported to jail. Court filings show his wife filed for divorce the next day — July 2. In the earlier case, he was charged June 6 with three counts of domestic battery and one count of strangulation for an incident on Feb. 17. A charging affidavit states Miyake's wife called police. He pulled and twisted her arm, trying to grab her cellphone. He slapped her, then choked her from behind, charges allege. She got away, then grabbed his cell off the bed and locked herself in the nearby bathroom. He took a power drill and took the doorknob off. Officers saw red marks on her neck, elbow and wrist, plus other marks on her right hand from another incident. A different son, 12, told officers that Miyake shoved him aside when he went to check on his mom. A man with the same name, birthday and address as Miyake is listed as a Highland family law and civil attorney. His firm didn't return a request for comment Friday. Both trials are scheduled in October. A special prosecutor, former Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill, is prosecuting both cases. He was not immediately available for comment Monday. Four women — former state Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon and then-statehouse staffers Niki DaSilva, Samantha Lozano, Gabrielle McLemore — dropped a lawsuit in December against Hill, accusing him of drunkenly groping them during a post-statehouse session wrap party at an Indianapolis bar in 2018.

Camper × Issey Miyake Peu Form Collaboration Hones in on Form and Fluidity
Summary Copenhagen-based footwear innovatorCamperis embarking on an exciting new chapter, launching its first footwear line in partnership withIssey Miyake, the distinguished Japanese house's women's line. Designed by Issey Miyake's Satoshi Kondo, this inaugural collection, named Peu Form, is a profound exploration of how a single piece of material can wrap and drape around the foot, bridging both brands' heritage with a pioneering spirit. At its core, the Peu Form collaboration reimagines Camper's iconic Peu family—known for its emphasis on natural foot movement—through Issey Miyake's foundational 'a piece of cloth' concept. This design philosophy, central to Issey Miyake's vision since 1971, explores the dynamic relationship, or 'ma' (unfilled space), between the wearer's body and the fabric. The result is a shoe that defies conventional garment design, offering a playful, sensuous, and organic silhouette that feels both universal and deeply innovative. For the Fall/Winter 2025 season, the Peu Form collection is introduced in two versatile styles: a slip-on shoe that cleverly doubles as a mule, and an ankle boot designed to envelop the foot like a second skin. Both styles are defined by their remarkable flexibility and unstructured construction, allowing them to adapt uniquely to each individual wearer. This innovative design also lends itself to easy, collapsible storage, enhancing their practicality for modern lifestyles. The Peu Form collaboration is offered in Black, White, Blue, and Red. The Camper x Issey Miyake Peu Form collection will be available from July 15, marking a global launch acrossCamperandIssey Miyakestores worldwide, selected retailers, and online at and Priced at $399 USD for the shoe and $530 USD for the boot, this collaboration celebrates originality, functionality and the artistry embedded in everyday life.

Issey Miyake transforms the Cartier Foundation into living sculpture garden with light and movement
PARIS (AP) — As Paris wilted under the ruthless June sun, Issey Miyake sent out a battalion of intergalactic fashion soldiers at the Cartier Foundation Thursday, shimmering between art and menswear apparel in a spectacle where even the light was a player. The late-morning sun bounced sharply off the art museum's monumental steel pillars, forcing some guests to slide their seats to escape the dazzling reflections — an impromptu game of musical chairs set to a pulsing, kinetic soundtrack. This Paris Fashion Week season finds the Miyake house in the midst of transition. In January, Paris bid adieu to Homme Plissé — Miyake's pleated cult favorite that had anchored the city's menswear calendar since 2019 — as the brand shifted its focus to nomadic shows, most recently appearing under the Tuscan sun. The torch in Paris has now been passed to IM Men, the last line personally conceived by Issey Miyake before his death in 2022. Thursday's show marked IM Men's return to the Paris stage, under the direction of designers Sen Kawahara, Yuki Itakura, and Nobutaka Kobayashi. A kinetic dance of light and fabric The theme, 'Dancing Texture,' nodded to the ceramic artistry of Shoji Kamoda, but also to the surreal choreography on display. Models appeared to roll, tilt, and swing through the light, their movements somewhere between ballet and a slow-motion video game. Occasionally, a guest would squint, unsure if they were watching a runway show or a heat-induced hallucination. The crowd — equal parts Parisian cool, visiting editors, and those for whom a pleated culotte is a spiritual calling — dodged the sun's glare and fanned themselves in the heat, shifting for both comfort and the best sightline. The first model glided out in a mad, angular hat, setting the tone for a parade of tin man-meets-space ninja silhouettes designed for dance floors or distant planets. The clothes themselves looked as if they had been engineered for a new climate — or perhaps a new species. Surfaces peeled, rippled, and shimmered, metallic foils flashed against the sun, and jacquard weaves evoked the carved waves of Kamoda's ceramics. Vermilion and white motifs burst forth alongside a near-neon green, courtesy of upcycled fishing nets. A coat unzipped into a dramatic collar while some blousons and pants, when laid flat, formed perfect circles — a wink at Kamoda's wheel-thrown plates. Miyake, who died in 2022, loomed large over the collection, his vision unmistakable in every engineered pleat and playful transformation. IM Men is the last line he conceived — a living laboratory for innovation, risk, and occasional absurdity, now energetically interpreted by a younger team. Even in his absence, his legacy is alive in every joke, fold, and jolt of surprise on the runway. Born in Hiroshima in 1938, Miyake rose from postwar Japan to become a global force, transforming fashion in the 1980s and '90s with his radical, sculptural vision. He pioneered heat-set pleating and created lines like Pleats Please and A-POC that blurred the boundaries between art, science, and daily life. Miyake's designs liberated fabric, allowing it to move with the body and imagination alike. Of course, the fashion house's embrace of the avant-garde still courts danger. Thursday's spectacle occasionally veered into excess, with kinetic art and sci-fi headgear that threatened to upstage the clothes themselves — a familiar Miyake risk. But the best moments, like a pared-back tangerine overcoat that floated past, proved restraint can sometimes steal the show.
