Water pollution and odor, however, became worse because of illegal waste dumping by people who lived nearby. ​Saburo Morita​who was a newspaper deliverer at that time. He started removing litters in order to clean up the tidal flat by himself. Eventually other people came to help him. They restored mud flat.

Crimean Tatars

Crimean Tatars (), are an East European Turkic people who are indigenous to Crimea, and mainly live there. Their native language is Crimean Tatar. Crimean Tatars follow Islam, and thus they celebrate most of the Muslim holidays. The Men are Circumcised.

They have survived three occupations. First in 1783 when the Crimean Khanate was annexed by the Russian Empire. This resulted in many Crimean Tatars fleeing to the territory of the Ottoman Empire during the late 18th to early 19th century. There descendants still live in Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.

The second deportation of Crimean Tatars took place in 1944, organised by the Soviet government. Then, on 18 May and during several following days, over 191 thousand people were deported to Central Asia and some north-eastern regions of Russia. According to different estimations, the deportation took lives of from one-third to half of the Crimean Tatar population of that time.

Having returned home after the deportation as Ukraine had become independent, Crimean Tatars were forced to leave their land again due to the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014.

PogChamp

PogChamp is an emote that is used on the streaming platform Twitch. It is used to express excitement, joy or shock. The image shows the streamer Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez with a surprised expression. The original emoticon originates from a video that was uploaded to YouTube on November 26, 2010, which shows behind-the-scenes recordings that were posted on Gutierrez's YouTube channel "Cross Counter TV" The PogChamp emote was added to Twitch's list of global emotes starting from 2012. However, the original emote was later removed by Twitch in January 2021, after Gutierrez posted on his Twitter page about supporting the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. Since January 8, 2021, a different person is shown as the face of PogChamp every 24 hours.

Since February 12, 2021, the original KomodoHype emote now replaces the PogChamp emote. This now means that there are now two duplicated versions of the KomodoHype emote.

Anak Krakatoa

The Anak Krakatoa (Child of Krakatoa) or Anak Krakatau is a small volcanic island in the Sunda Strait.  It is between the island of Java and Sumatra. Mount Anak Krakatoa is a leftover piece of Mount Krakatoa, which erupted in 1883. After the eruption of Krakatoa, new volcanic activity began on the bottom of the ocean along the same line as the previous volcanoes. In early 1928, a new volcano grew until its top came above the water. By 1930 it had become a small island. The volcano has been active sporadically since that time. The volcano has continued to grow to an elevation of about 1,000 feet (300 metres) above the sea. It has became famous because it erupted in 2018, causing a tsunami that killed many people and damaged buildings and property.

Hillside Strangler

The Hillside Strangler, later the Hillside Stranglers, were two American serial killers who killed ten young females in Los Angeles between October 1977 and February 1978.

It was thought at first that only one person did the killings. The police, however, knew from the positions of the dead bodies that two individuals were working together. These two individuals were eventually discovered: they were cousins Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono Jr.. They were later convicted of kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering ten females, who were from 12 to 28 years old.

A big investigation had been fruitless. Then the arrest of Bianchi in January 1979 for the murder of two more young women in Washington was linked to his past in the Strangler case.
