What do you do with a drunken sailor?
A U.S. servicemember was arrested Saturday in the home of a Japanese couple who found him naked after he'd used their shower, according to local news reports.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Nathaniel Williams, 27, is accused of walking through the unlocked front door of a home in Ebina City while intoxicated at about 5:10 a.m., the Kanagawa Shimbun reported Saturday.

Williams is assigned to the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Depo at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Navy officials said Saturday evening.

Williams was discovered after an unidentified 44-year-old man who lives in the home woke up to use the bathroom and heard water running, the Kanagawa Shimbun report said.

The man thought a family member was using the shower, but soon saw Williams emerge naked from the bathroom, according to the newspaper.

The man then woke up his wife, who called police, the Asahi Shimbun reported.

Bestselling author outed as a pathological liar after repeatedly claiming he had cancer

Dan Mallory, author of the bestselling thriller The Woman in the Window under the pseudonym AJ Finn, has admitted to lying about having brain cancer for years, after a lengthy New Yorker profile accused him of a long history of falsehoods around his professional history and health.

Mallory made headlines in 2016 when his identity as a book editor was revealed during a heated auction for his debut novel, The Woman in the Window. A film version of the thriller, about a woman with agoraphobia who begins spying on her new neighbours, is due out later this year, scripted by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts and starring Amy Adams and Gary Oldman.

However, the New Yorker article by Ian Parker lays out a history of Mallory fabricating stories of illness and death, including that he had been diagnosed with brain cancer. The article claims Mallory had repeatedly said he had cancer, including in an Oxford University application, and to colleagues while working at publishing houses in both London and New York.

Comment: If he was lying about having brain cancer, he's more than likely lying about being bipolar. The only disorder he can truly claim is chronic fib-itis.

The UN says nearly 30 internally displaced Syrian children have lost their lives because of freezing temperatures and lack of basic needs at a refugee camp in northeastern Syria over the past two months.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said in a statement on Thursday that children and newborns died in a teeming camp in Hasakeh, mainly due to hypothermia.

"At least 29 children and newborns are reported to have died over the past eight weeks, mainly from hypothermia, while travelling to the camp or shortly after arrival," the statement read.

The UN health agency also expressed extreme concern over the conditions of those who make it to al-Hol, where lies the main camp for people displaced by the fighting against the Daesh terrorist group and other foreign-sponsored outfits.

Germany's power grid overhaul to cost billions more than expected - and consumers will be footing the bill

Germany's plan for new power cable "autobahns" to take wind and solar energy from the north to the south of the country is set to cost billions more than envisaged.

The grid upgrade will cost as much as 52 billion euros ($59 billion), 53 percent more than was budgeted for in 2014, the companies building the north-south high-voltage links said in a joint statement. Two more of the super cables are needed on top of the three already planned in order to meet the government's new green power targets, the builders said.

The revised blueprint spells bigger electricity bills for a nation that already shares with Denmark the highest retail power costs in the European Union. Grid upgrade expenses are tacked on to consumers' bills.

Comment: With a rapidly changing climate this investment is likely to turn out out to be a seriously costly mistake:

A US Army veteran said to be suffering from PTSD shot himself in the head on a Facebook live broadcast after shooting his girlfriend and killing her six-year-old son.

Jovonie McClendon Jr called the police and his mother after he had shot his partner and her son Carter, telling them he was sorry before he took his own life in an apartment in Miami Township, Ohio on Friday morning.

McClendon told those watching the live stream it had "been nice knowing you" before shooting himself in the head.

When police arrived at the scene, they found his girlfriend Di'eisha Patterson seriously wounded and the bodies of McClendon and the young boy.

It's high time academics started standing up to the campus thought police

We need to talk about 'discrimination', 'homophobia', and 'identity'. In fact, we need to rethink them. Daily, these words are trotted out as if their sense were as good as it is common. But it really isn't.

At the beginning of the new year, the young Thought Police who guard our own egalitarian Cultural Revolution targeted their latest victim. John Finnis is an eminent legal philosopher, whose trademark is precise, relentlessly logical reasoning, and who is best known for pioneering a novel and sophisticated theory of natural law. He is also a conservative Roman Catholic, whose moral arguments tend to support the official teaching of his church. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that he holds unfashionably critical views about homosexual practice.

Serial killer Bruce McArthur staged photos of some of his victims after they died, posing corpses in fur coats and cigars in their mouths, a prosecutor said Monday as the sentencing hearing began for the former gardener who preyed on men from Toronto's Gay Village district.

Prosecutor Michael Cantlon said McArthur would later access some of the photos long after the killings. The prosecution didn't display the images found on McArthur's electronic devices during the session, but said they included after-death photos of six of the eight victims.

"Victims were posed naked, with cigars in their mouth, shaved, and/or made to wear a fur coat and hat," Cantlon said.

He also said police found a naked man handcuffed to the bed when they raided McArthur's home and arrested him Jan. 18, 2018. He said police moved in when they realized McArthur had someone over. The man, who survived, was identified only as Middle Eastern and named "John."
