Headline news for November 19, 2025

It has been decided that a ' masala screening where cheering is not allowed' will be held for the film 'Taroman: Expo Explosion.' While cheering for the characters out loud while watching a film has become quite common, in this film's case, cheering for Taroman would be a disaster, so the screening will be one where cheering is not allowed. Combining this with a masala format where confetti and noisemakers are allowed will surely make for an incredible event. Details will be announced at a later date.

When ordering fabric, you have to use a special ordering method, such as 'how many you want, counting 50cm as 1', and this unit of '50cm' also differs depending on the store.
For example, if you want 1m of fabric, enter '1' (1m unit).
'10' (in 10cm units)
'2' (50cm unit)
Anything is possible.

The Adobe incident is completely different from a network outage for a normal service, and Adobe is entirely to blame. For a business application that is contracted with the promise of local operation, the fact that an online connection is no longer working properly can cause everything unrelated to communication to become unusable is nothing more than an avoidable design flaw.
