China: Woman Keeps Sweeping Balcony as Earthquake Shakes Building

This astonishing moment captures a woman calmly sweeping her balcony as her home shakes violently during a 5.8-magnitude earthquake. On June 11, 2025, in Shantou, Guangdong, a surreal scene unfolded as tremors from an offshore earthquake near Taiwan rocked the region. Despite visible shaking — furniture swaying and walls trembling — a middle-aged woman continued sweeping her balcony floor, showing no signs of panic or hesitation. The earthquake struck at around 7:00 p.m., with its epicenter located off the coast of Taiwan’s Taitung County at a depth of 20 kilometers. Residents across parts of Guangdong, including Shantou, reported feeling the quake. The video ends with the woman still focused on cleaning, seemingly unfazed by the tremors around her.

Displaced People Protest Eviction - Beirut

A protest erupted in response to the Lebanese police and military's second attempt to evict around 400 displaced people sheltering in a building in Hamra, Beirut. Activists joined the residents to oppose the eviction, and what began as a peaceful resistance quickly escalated into clashes, resulting in several injuries. Following the day's protests and clashes, they were eventually allowed back inside the building. The displaced individuals had initially been allowed to stay with the landlord's consent, but the property was later reclaimed by the owner. The police proposed to relocate the group to an empty building in Sabra. However, this offer was met with hesitation, as the area is near the southern suburbs, which have faced heavy bombardment in recent weeks. Beirut, Lebanon, October 21, 2024.

Takoyaki Robot Octo Chef

Connected Robotics (Koganei City, Tokyo) will launch a new service plan for its octopus dumpling robot "Octo Chef" in August for a monthly fee. The plan includes all the costs for upgrading and adding functions to the robot, so that users can always use the latest version, and also aims to make it easier for small businesses to introduce the robot by reducing the initial cost. Takoyaki robots and other cooking robots may be used in small and medium-sized restaurants, but the price is a hurdle to their widespread use. In addition to the competition with the labor cost of part-time workers, the cost of adding new functions or changing to a new image processing unit during the process is also a reason for hesitation. The new plan solves these user concerns. The monthly fee and the length of the cancellation penalty period will be worked out in the future.
