Congrats!! Well done!

When will this madness stop I wonder.

Some news outlets are saying that the criminal had accused the studio of "stealing his ideas".

If he is a Saudi Arabian official, he is most likely related to the Saudi royal family, and will get away with a slap on the wrist.

The emergency landing training exercise became suddenly too real.

While North Korean guides or interpreters attended each interview, Hayashi said she did not feel too constrained by them.

The interviewees definitely felt constrained by the presence of the North Korean minders. They knew that if they said something negative, it would be later reported to the North Korean authorities.

He has most likely a developmental disability.

My guess: the son had mental health problems.

Not surprised at all that banks do these kinds of things. And it's probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Drinking alcohol on streets should be banned in Japan too, like it is in many countries.

Mental illness.

Mental illness is my guess.

However, police said they suspect Jomaah is still in Japan as he did not return to his residence in Ishikawa Prefecture, nor did the Japanese government have his departure record, the reports said.

"Police suspect he is still in Japan AS he did not return to his residence in Ishikawa Prefecture ..." Shouldn't it be ALTHOUGH?

I really hope they catch the criminal, but to be honest, after so many years, who will remember what they saw that evening?

O-tsukaresama desu!

¥70,000 ($6400) 

I'm sure you intended to write $640.

It is sad to see that a 77-year old woman still has to work (and at 2:30 AM to boot) in order to make ends meet. Japanese old age pensions are a joke.

So, nobody checked to see if she has a license before she was asked to drive the first time?

I think it amounts to a human rights violation. Hair length is not important in education. Whether it is clean and neat is.

"Dismissed" as in "fired"? Surely not. They were just transferred/demoted, so they will still draw a hefty salary for years to come.

The Japanese home builder said it will book half of the missing money as a loss if the company fails to collect it.

And what about the other half?

Mental illness?

He asked one to leave and they complied.

The one with multiple personalities?

How convenient!

Schizophrenia?

No mention of the prices anywhere in the article. Couldn't even find them on their website.

"Thief"? Isn't "robber" the correct word in this case?

I wonder if his mother, who is 90 years old, enjoyed the movie.

Her speaking incomprehensibly is probably a sign of some kind of mental disease.

No info about whether the boy was wearing a helmet... Most likely, not. I am not sure if it could have saved his life, but helmets should be made mandatory for cyclists. Anyway, this is sad beyond words.
