 Snakes often find themselves getting into all kinds of crawl spaces, drains, and any number of tight openings to make their way into a more comfortable dwelling situation. Well, an unlucky slithering critter was attempting to find some shade from the heat and caused 10,000 homes to lose power in Japan. The snake in question slithered right into contact with a live wire, causing the Tohoku Electric Power station to lose power and go into a full-blown safety shutdown at 2 PM last Wednesday. The massive power outage took place in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. When Tohoku Electric Power had finally traced the outage to the substation where the snake had been killed, investigators spoke about finding the charred remains of the reptile. It had also been reported that the smoke from the snake’s body caused so much smoke to billow out that six fire trucks had been called to douse the flames, or rather, to investigate and make sure there had not been more of a raging inferno. The safety

 About a week ago, the Japanese people found themselves in serious trouble when they faced an hour-long blackout in the intense heat of the day. As per Japan Today News, a snake reportedly entered the Tohoku electric power station in pursuit of a shelter and unexpectedly lodged with a live wire, which not only caused its own loss of life but also put people in a major inconvenience. Around 10,000 homes in Japan were affected as a result of this safety shutdown that occurred at around 2 pm. Hot summers are ongoing in Japan; surviving without electricity for even a second seems impossible. But these folks sustained this dilemma for about an hour. It was unbearable for the residents to spend an hour without an air conditioner, but a lot of them felt sorry for the snake who lost his life looking for shelter. The netizens expressed their condolences on social media, as one of them wrote, “Rest in peace, snake.” Similarly, the other said, “Poor snake! The company should apologize and compens

 Who said that animals aren’t capable enough to mess up our infrastructure, even by accident? You know what they say that ignorance is bliss sometimes, but today, we’re eager to remind you that human inventions are far from being infallible. According to Japan Today News, a snake caught in the Tohoku Electric Power Station on Wednesday caused a power outage across 10,000 households in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture.  The power outage lasted for about an hour Luckily, the Koriyama residents didn’t have too long to wait until the problem of the power outage was fixed. It lasted for just an hour, but the snake had to face a much more terrible outcome. The animal died after connecting with a live wire where he ended up as it was apparently looking to escape the heat a bit. The authorities found the charred remains of the poor snake. The power outage occurred at about 2:10 in the afternoon, and it was certainly horrible for many people who were relying on air conditioners to deal with

 Ajla Tomljanović has continued to fly the Australian standard handed over by Ash Barty at Wimbledon, surviving a nervy final set to reach the quarter-finals. Watched from the stands by Margaret Court, the new national No 1 battled back from losing the first set to defeat French giant-killer Alizé Cornet 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 on Monday. In doing so, she became the first Australian woman into successive quarter-finals at Wimbledon since Jelena Dokic 22 years ago. It wasn’t easy though. Tomljanović went 5-1 up in the decider only for Cornet, who stunned world No 1 Iga Swiatek in the previous round, to fight back to serve at 3-5. Tomljanović, however, has been brimming with belief this Wimbledon. She was further fired up by a pre-match chat with mentor Chris Evert, a three-time Wimbledon winner, who told her she belonged on the stage and would reach the last eight. Regrouping, Tomljanović forced two match points and was undeterred when both were saved. The 29-year-old secured a third shot at vict

 Wimbledon quarter-finalist Ajla Tomljanovic has opened up about her bond with tennis royalty Chris Evert on a day she was told the title was there for the taking. Tomljanovic, the native Croatian, Florida-based Australian who applied for local citizenship in 2014, completed one of the toughest wins of her career on Monday to topple giant-killing Frenchwoman Alize Cornet 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 and set up a meeting with 17th-seed Kazakhstani Elena Rybakina. Having become the first Australian woman to reach the final eight for the second year in a row since Jelena Dokic 22 years ago, Tomljanovic, who lost to eventual champion Ash Barty last year, was in tears after a gruelling match that lasted 2 hours, 35 minutes, as she couldn’t believe she had again advanced to this point. Tomljanovic, 29, quickly had to check with her father, former coach and fitness trainer Ratko, to ensure he had booked another night’s accommodation. Since the second round, the Tomljanovic family has had a day-to-day bookin

 Ajla Tomljanovic has become the first Australian woman in 22 years to reach back-to-back Wimbledon singles quarterfinals. The world No.44 continued her impressive march in the ladies’ singles draw, scoring a hard-fought 4-6 6-4 6-3 victory against France’s Alize Cornet in fourth-round action today. An emotional Tomljanovic fought back tears after the match, revealing in her on-court interview “I didn’t really think I could do it”. “I have such great memories from last year (reaching her first Grand Slam quarterfinal) and in a way, I look back at that week a year ago and I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as I should have,” she said. “After some tough moments this year, I wondered if I was ever going to get a chance again? I can’t believe a year later, I’m in the same position.” Cornet, contesting a record-equaling 62nd consecutive Grand Slam main draw, started strongly. Demonstrating the all-court craft and spirited play that helped her end the 37-match winning streak of world No.1 Ig

 Taylor Fritz had not reached a Grand Slam quarter-final prior to Monday afternoon, but the American broke that barrier in style at Wimbledon with a classy 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 fourth-round victory against Australian qualifier Jason Kubler. The 11th seed produced an impressive display of clean hitting off both wings to end the World No. 99 Kubler’s spirited run at the grass-court major. Fritz crushed 40 winners and broke his opponent’s serve five times to complete a two-hour win on No. 1 Court. “A first Grand Slam quarter-final, it’s a really big deal,” said Fritz in his on-court interview. “To be a part of the final eight, and I’m glad I could get the win on the fourth of July, being an American. It’s great, being in my first quarter-final, it just shows that all the hard work I’m putting in is paying off.” His run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals continues a breakthrough year for the 24-year-old Fritz, who lifted his maiden ATP Masters 1000 crown at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in Ma

 Taylor Fritz is into his first major quarterfinal ever, and Nick Kyrgios is back in the Wimbledon quarters for the first time in eight years. No. 11 Fritz, the 6-foot-5 California native, easily handled Australian qualifier Jason Kubler 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 to reach the first Grand Slam quarterfinal of his career. He has yet to drop a set in London and has won his last eight matches after winning the Wimbledon warm-up at Eastbourne. He awaits the winner of the later match between No. 2 Rafael Nadal and No. 21 Botic Van de Zandschulp. Nadal entered having won 17 straight major matches this year en route to the first two legs of the calendar Grand Slam.

No. 23 Frances Tiafoe and No. 30 Tommy Paul both lost on Sunday, leaving Fritz and unseeded Brandon Nakashima to play on July 4th. Nakashima battled Kyrgios through five tough sets before succumbing 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-2. Kyrgio

  Taylor Fritz became the first U.S. man to make a major quarterfinal since the January 2020 Australian Open, reaching the last eight at Wimbledon and setting up a matchup with Rafael Nadal. Fritz, the No. 11 seed, dispatched 99th-ranked Australian qualifier Jason Kubler 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 in the fourth round on Monday to reach his first major quarterfinal. He’ll face Nadal, who swept No. 21 seed Botic van de Zandschulp to move three wins away from a third consecutive major title. Fritz, 24, beat Nadal in the Indian Wells final in March, marking the biggest tournament title for a U.S. man in more than a decade. Both men played that match injured. “I’ve kind of been in these moments before, Indian Wells semifinal, Indian Wells final. I’d say probably it feels about the same as like a Slam quarterfinal,” said Fritz, who hasn’t faced a top-50 player through four rounds. “It makes the occasion bigger if I am playing Nadal.” After a French Open second round loss, Fritz lost his opening matches i
