Hearing a rumor that a 'race that makes gems inside their bodies' was being held captive and abused by a corrupt nobleman, and was being forced to make gems, the hero and his party rushed to the mansion and witnessed a portly, middle-aged man writhing in excruciating pain from a urinary stone while being forced to eat large amounts of raw parsley.

The second installment of 'Let's Stay at the Aquarium!', organized by the National Muroto Youth Nature House, has ended.

Last night, people complained that they couldn't sleep because the clapping was too loud.

When I went over to try to stop it, I found the stingray banging on the tank.

The photo was from the day before yesterday (the first installment), and they were well-behaved at the time...

I came to the Hanzaki Festival, which is held every year on August 8th at Yubara Onsen in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture.

Hanzaki is the local name for the giant salamander, which was killed long ago after swallowing humans, cattle and horses. This festival is named after the giant salamander, and two Hanzaki floats parade through the hot spring town... but it has a ridiculous feeling of worshipping an evil god, which is awesome.pic.twitter.com/nQ5i3sVwBm

I've said this many times before, but clouds are not a sign of an earthquake. Clouds that are often called 'earthquake clouds' on the streets can all be explained by meteorology, and it is impossible to judge the impact of an earthquake from the appearance of the clouds. If you are worried about earthquakes, make sure you are prepared in advance. Let's appreciate the clouds. https://t.co/7zvUlnKGe1 pic.twitter.com/0IG7pqqFBt

After the earthquake, cars lined up at gas stations in Miyazaki City, waiting to refuel. According to a male manager in his 60s at 'CLOVER Miyazaki Gas Station,' who was interviewed on the morning of the 9th, the number of customers began to increase from around 5pm on the 8th. By the time the station closed at 7pm, over a dozen cars were still queuing, with around 200 cars visiting the station, double the usual number. Some customers were said to have commented, 'I'm worried about a big earthquake (in the future), so I want to fill up my car before going home.' The manager said, 'I filled up my car before going home too. I think everyone thinks the same way.'

At the Dr.Drive Self Aobacho store in Miyazaki City, the number of customers began to increase immediately after the earthquake, reaching about three times the usual number. The line formed until around 11:00 p.m. That night, according to Kana Yamauchi (43), a member of the Miyazaki Prefectural Assembly who stopped by to fill up her car, there were about 20 cars waiting. 'I was surprised because it's usually empty at night. It looked like they had increased the number of staff to handle the situation,' she said.

[Explanation] Just like a spy movie... Two Iranian elite soldiers defected to Iran in exchange for a high salary and the opportunity to flee the country, planting a bomb? The full details of the operation to kill Hamas' supreme leader, Haniyeh, are revealed | FNN Prime Online

The two men were soldiers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, an elite unit of Iran, and were offered two conditions by the Israeli side: a six-figure cash reward worth tens of millions of yen, and fleeing to a Nordic country after the operation. The betrayal of this elite unit is probably a big shock to the Iranian core.

According to Israeli media, the two men planted a bomb under the bed in Haniya's room at around 4:23 pm. The two then fled the scene and, with Israeli assistance, fled Iran an hour later.

The next day, at 1:20 a.m., Mr. Haniya returned to the guesthouse from outside, and after making sure that the lights in the room were out, the bomb was remotely detonated at around 1:37 a.m., killing Mr. Haniya. This was the full story of the operation.
