- October 6, 2017 / 4 min readZomato will use the data to identify such users on its platform and track their behavior over time
While consumer reviews have provided a much-needed platform for users to convey their feedback to restaurants, it has also turned out to be a double-edged sword. In order to help restaurant owners fight against reviews written with malicious inten, Zomato on Thursday launched Zomato for Business app. The owners can use the "Report Abuse" button to directly flag a review that was written with malicious intent.
Available for download from iOS App Store or Google Play Store, the team at Zomato will review each reported case along with shared evidence. If the team finds any truth in the evidence provided by the owners, Zomato will moderate the review.
Furthermore, Zomato will use the data to identify such users on its platform and track their behavior over time. The reviewer's profile will eventually be frozen and their past reviews deleted.
On the other hand, Zomato is also keen to handle bribery instances by owners to solicit positive reviews. An important part of resolving this problem will be to put up a "shame banner" on the restaurants found to be abusing the platform in this manner. The banner will be a way to tell the users to avoid such restaurants. This feature, however, will be released towards the end of this year.Trending ArticleDaily UpdatesWhich is the highest format preference of Fun-Seeker?

On Tuesday this week, Srinivasan Keshav, a Canadian Research Chair at the University of Waterloo, informed the U.S. Senate, during a hearing on text message rates, that a single message probably costs less than 0.3 cents—a mark-up of 4,900 per cent. Text messages represent a small fraction of the total traffic over cell phone towers, so congestion isn't what's driving prices. Most of the cost comes from calculating bills and building and maintaining cell phone towers, but even these expenditures are relatively minor. Ultimately, North Americans are forced to endure steep rates, because the reigning telecommunications monopolies have determined that that's what the market can bear. "I'm not here to judge whether the market is competitive or fair, I'm just telling you this is the price and this is the cost," said Keshav. "Let people who are experiencing these plans decide whether it's correct or not."

Belgium: "Yellow vest" protest in Brussels November 30
"Yellow vest" protesters have announced demonstrations in Brussels scheduled on Sunday, May 26. Protesters are expected to gather at Bruxelles-Nord station at 13:00 (local time). Further details on a potential protest march were not immediately released.
Localized transportation disruptions, along with a heightened security presence, are to be expected near demonstration sites. Clashes between protesters and police forces cannot be ruled out.
The "yellow vest" movement began in France on November 17, 2018, to protest rising fuel prices and a planned fuel tax. It has since grown to encompass a number of popular grievances against the French government. Some protests have turned violent and acts of vandalism and looting have been reported, although the scale of the protests has diminished since their height in December. Demonstrations have continued despite French government proposals to address protesters' concerns. President Emmanuel Macron announced a series of reforms on April 25, including closing corporate tax loopholes, income tax cuts, linking pensions to inflation by 2020, and reforms to referendum processes, among others.
Individuals in Belgium, and particularly those in Brussels, are advised to follow all instructions issued by local authorities, budget extra time to reach their destinations, and avoid all protests as a precaution.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has signed on to a letter asking the U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration for an update on the agencies' decision about whether they plan to change marijuana's classification at the federal level.
Marijuana is currently classified as a "Schedule I" drug under the Controlled Substances Act. The classification is for "drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse."
Earlier this year, the DEA and other agencies said they plan to release a determination in the first half of 2016 on re-scheduling marijuana, as well as a potential scenario allowing more growers to help access to marijuana for research.
"While we appreciate the DEA's willingness to maintain an open dialogue with our offices, we are concerned that 'the first half of 2016' is coming to a close and no rescheduling announcement has been made," the letter from Warren, D-Mass., and others said. [Read more at MassLive.com]

For years, we have taken advantage of opportunities to attend performances by three of the best writers and singers of cowboy songs the West has produced. Ever.
Brenn Hill, Dave Stamey, and DW Groethe have long been favorites, and they become more so every time we see or hear them finger the frets and vibrate their vocal cords. We've heard them with various forms of accompaniment, from side men to backup bands, all the way up to an orchestra. Given enough such enhancement, most anyone (save the likes of me) can sound presentable on stage or in a recording.
But give a cowboy nothing more than a guitar and a microphone and you'll soon hear what he's got.
And that's where Brenn Hill and Dave Stamey and DW Groethe stand out—standing behind a guitar and a microphone on an otherwise empty stage. While each has a different style of string bending, each is a master at making those six strings resound. There is variety in their vocals as well, but each offers a rich, strong voice with plenty of range and dynamics and all those other things singers have.
But their real mastery, I believe, is in their songwriting. From the Old West to the new, from stories from history to deeply personal musings, they set life to music in ways poets envy and audiences enjoy.
If and when you find any of these cowboys appearing anywhere in your part of the country, buy a ticket. Your ears will enjoy the experience.

NEW MARKET- Playing with their post season lives hanging in the balance New Market rode the right arm of Steve Owens (Richmond) to a season saving 9-3 victory over Covington Friday night in Valley Baseball League action. The win over the Lumberjacks coupled with the losses by
both Harrisonburg and Haymarket earlier in the day, kept the Rebels mathematically alive with three games to play in the VBL season.
Owens (2-4) fell behind 2-0 after two innings but appeared to pick up steam after the shaky start.
"He didn't allow a base hit after the second inning," Rebel pitching coach Rick Smith said. "It's not to often that you can pitch around five errors and get a win but Steve did it tonight."
The shaky start was on the part of the Rebels defense but Owens continued to bear down and gets the outs he had to have to keep New Market (14-27) in the game during the early stages.Rico Noel led off the game with a double and came around to score on a RBI single by Derrick Washington (Hill) but Owens worked around the first two Rebel errors to keep the score at 1-0.
Covington ( 22-20) doubled the lead in the second inning when Junior Arrojo bunted down the third base with two outs and promtley stole second base. Noel followed with a RBI single for his second hit of the night and after two innings Owens had thrown 35 pitches and surrendered four hits.
New Market cut the lead to 2-1 when Kevin Dietrich (UNC-Pembroke) singled and stole second base. Dietrich came around to score on a single by Matt Hamaker that seemed to jump start the offense. The Rebels would add two runs in the fourth inning and then blow the game open with 5 more runs in the bottom of the fifth.
Pitching now with an 8-2 lead it went back to playing a game of pitch and catch for Owens and Hamaker who was filling in for Nick Stanley behind the plate. Owens struck out the side in the fifth inning and the only question left was could he go the distance for the second time this season.
"The effort we received tonight from Steve was just what we have been receiving from him all season," manager Nolan Neiman said. "The difference tonight was we were able to swing the bats for him. We played the way we are capable of playing tonight."
Owens lasted into the seventh inning and with his 102ND pitch (still just four hits allowed) of the evening Hamaker was able to nail a Lumberjack runner trying to steal second base to retire the side. The final line for Owens was 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned and 7 strike outs which allowed the Spider right hander to earn his second victory of the season .
The 7-8-9 hitters for the Rebels accounted for five of the nine runs as Brandon Kirsch (2-4, 2 doubles, 1 RBI and 2 runs scored) and Justin Edwards (1-2, 2 walks, 2 runs and 1 RBI) joined team mate David Valasente (1-3, 1 double, 1 run and 1 walk) in reaching base 7 times on the night.
Dietrich continued to spark the Rebels from the top of the line-up by going 2-4 with 1 run scored and 2 RBI's while the Covington staff contributed to their defeat by issuing 7 walks. New Market scored it's final run on the back half of a double steal as Brent Weiss swiped home in the eighth inning. The double steal attempt was the second of the contest for the Rebels but Dietrich was tagged out at the plate in the fifth inning.
New Market will travel down to Harrisonburg on Saturday night in hopes of staying in the race for the eighth and final VBL playoff spot. The Rebels will need to win three straight and hope for a little help along the way to force a one game playoff.

Gloucester 17 Chiefs 29
Gloucester 17
Exeter Chiefs 29
Mark Stevens at Kingsholm
A bit like the Incredible Hulk, you don't want to make the Exeter Chiefs angry.
Undone on home soil for the first time since February by Gloucester the week previous, Rob Baxter's side gained sweet revenge by claiming their first Heineken Champions Cup victory of the season.
Tries from Sam Skinner, Don Armand, Jack Yeandle and Harry Williams, plus kicks from Gareth Steenson, ensured the Devonians kept alive any hopes of qualification from Pool Two with just two fixtures remaining next month.
Gloucester, meanwhile, were left to lick their wounds as they countered with a brace from Jason Woodward and another from Tom Hudson.
Knowing nothing less than a victory would suffice, the Chiefs - who showed nine changes to their starting line-up - spelt out their intent from the outset, declining a kickable penalty on four minutes in search of greater bounty.
Although that initial chance, plus another just minutes later, came and went without reward, the Chiefs clearly had the mind-set of all-out attack as they bossed the opening exchanges.
Sam Hill, Jack Maunder and Joe Simmonds, all of whom had been added to the Chiefs mix, all threatened sufficiently to win another close-range penalty which, as they had done previously, the visitors declined to kick at goal.
This is not an unusual tactic, it took until Round Four of the Premiership this season before Baxter's side opted for a shot at the target, but with little to lose on the night, the risk was certainly worth taking.
Gloucester may have thought they had done enough to stymie the Chiefs threat, but when home prop Fraser Balmain coughed up another soft penalty, Baxter's side would not let this latest opportunity pass. A succession of close-range, pick-and-go drives were making inroads, only for the hosts to once more fall foul of French referee Mathieu Raynal.
Steenson, as he done a handful of times before, kicked to the corner, the Chiefs won the resultant set-piece and it was Scottish International Skinner, who arose from the mass of bodies to take the acclaim of his team-mates. Steenson slotted the conversion to give his side maximum reward.
At the other end, Gloucester looked to counter almost immediately as Danny Cipriani spiralled a wonderful kick to within five metres of the Exeter try-line. However, the Chiefs went mob-handed to repel the home threat, not only stopping them at source, but ultimately winning turnover possession to clear their lines.
Gloucester, though, weren't done and when Tomas Francis did well to stave off a break from Owen Williams, they recycled their way through a catalogue of phases to finally work the opening for Kiwi full-back Woodward to cross for their opening try of the night.
With defences ruling the roost for a large part of the first half, it was the work of Tom O'Flaherty, initially in attack, then defence, which paved the way for Exeter's second try. Working off turnover ball, the London-born winger chipped over the top with a perfectly-weighted kick, which forced Cipriani to race across and cover in his own in-goal area.
The England international did enough to stave off O'Flaherty, but his actions did mean a five-metre scrum for the visitors. Again, more penalties flowed for the visitors, such was their dominance in this area all night.
The pressure, however, was mounting and having had a potential try chalked off on review with the TMO for a non-grounding, the Chiefs struck with the last move of the half, forcing the opening for Armand to bulldoze his way over for a second Exeter score.
The score just before the break was just reward for a strong first half showing from the Chiefs, who were given an early boost just after the restart when Gloucester lost centre Billy Twelvetrees to a yellow card.
Now with a man advantage, as well as the scoreboard advantage, Baxter's outfit once again looked to press forward in attack. Gloucester, it has to be said, were holding firm - and despite intense bombardment around their line from the Chiefs, they not only held out during the absence of Twelvetrees, but they were able to do enough to position themselves down the other end of the field.
The game continued to swing from end-to-end, but it was the Chiefs who continued to offer the greater threat. Hill went close when he latched onto a clever 'quarterback-style' throw from Yeandle, before Steenson edged his side further in front when he popped over a scrum penalty from in front of the sticks just before the hour mark.
Spurred on by a vociferous home support, particularly in the notorious 'Shed', Gloucester regrouped well and they were given reason to raise the decibels a little louder when Williams and the in-form Ollie Thorley combined impressively to send Woodward over for his second try of the night.
Back within a converted score, Gloucester suddenly had the bit between their teeth. Skipper Willi Heinz and Thorley launched another counter-attack, this time from deep inside their own 22, and it made decent inroads into Exeter territory before O'Flaherty scrambled back to save the day.
It was gripping stuff from both teams, who knew their European existence depended on them producing some late heroics. Thankfully, it would be the Chiefs who finish the stronger. Props Ben Moon and Harry Williams added some real impetus to the front-row, while the sizeable frame of Mitch Lees was another key asset in winning yet more scrum penalties late on.
And it was from one of them that the Chiefs were able to strike for a third time. Yeandle went short with a line-out to Tom Lawday, the remainder of the forwards assembled around the No.8, and it was the Exeter hooker who was able to plough through the middle of the maul to touchdown.
Gloucester, however, were far from done and when the home side hit back almost immediately through Hudson, the replacement running round after good work from Freddie Clarke and Ben Morgan, all of a sudden It was 'game on' once more for both sides.
Kingsholm was alive and kicking once more as the hosts now went in search of some late reward. The Chiefs, though, were proving miserly in defence and having pegged their rivals back deep inside their own half, it forced the Cherry & Whites to go for broke.
Williams attempted to go for a chip over the top, but Simmonds read it like a book, gobbling up possession and then setting off on a direct run through the heart of the home defence. The Welshman atoned for his loose kick by felling the Chiefs full-back, but the Exeter cavalry was close at hand. In an instance, the forwards had assembled in numbers to work the opening for Williams to drive over for a decisive, bonus-point score.
The Travelling Tribe erupted into a wall of noise, whilst the celebrations both on the Chiefs bench and in the coaching booth at the back of the main stand, underlined just how important a result this was.
For now, the Chiefs remain alive and kicking in Europe's top club competition. They will resume battle again next month when, who knows what might happen in their quest for glory.

Land use panel OKs sale of portion of church property
Waikapu firm set to build 80 affordable housing units there
With a church member calling it a "major milestone" for Emmanuel Lutheran Church Maui, the state Land Use Commission Thursday approved six motions that allow the church to sell a portion of its Waikapu property for affordable housing and give the congregation more time to build new church facilities on the land bordered by Waiale Road and Honoapiilani Highway.
"We are all very pleased that the LUC voted to approve all of our motions so that the division and sale of a portion of the property can move forward," said Michael Reiley, president of Emmanuel Lutheran, in an email Friday.
Emmanuel Lutheran is selling around 12.5 acres of its 25.3-acre parcel to Waikapu Development Venture, which will construct 80 affordable housing units. Emmanuel Lutheran will develop new school and church facilities on a small portion of the remainder of the property, he said.
The sale of the land will allow the church to pay off its current mortgage. Once the property is free of debt, the church will commence a fundraising campaign for the development, according to LUC documents.
The church expects the land sale to close in the next couple of months, Reiley said.
Reiley declined to disclose the selling price, and Waikapu Development Venture said in a email that it would not disclose the price until the transaction is final.
Reiley said that the church and schools, now based in Kahului on a 1.27-acre parcel on One Street, will eventually move to Waikapu.
Around 10 years ago, the church had bigger plans for the Waikapu site, including multiple school buildings and a 450-seat sanctuary. The church received a green light from the LUC in 2008 for the development, and at the same time the commission reclassified the land from Agriculture to Land Use Urban District.
But because of the recession and a decline in school enrollment, the church modified its plans, Reiley said.
Reiley couldn't give current school enrollment numbers Friday, but said that the K-8 school has had a high of around 175 students, and as few as 120. He said that enrollment is "coming back" again, and that preschool enrollment has been steady at around 30 students.
The church on Thursday also sought and received a 10-year time extension for its project.
The LUC laid out some conditions, including having the church complete its Phases 1 and 2 of the project within six years. The first phase is for the church to secure necessary funding. The second phase is to build a multipurpose building, which is intended to house the preschool during the week and provide space for worship and other activities over the weekend.
According to project documents, Phase 3 would consist of three classrooms for the middle school, office space for the pastor and preschool director, and site work and infrastructure.
Phase 4 plans still need to be evaluated, but could consist of school classrooms and a new sanctuary building.
All work would need to be done in 10 years.
Waikapu Development Venture will develop 68 single-family detached units, 12 duplex units and a neighborhood park on its portion of the parcel. The project will be 100 percent affordable to qualified residents earning 70 to 140 percent of Maui's median income, with half of the units priced to families earning 101 to 120 percent of the median.
Three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family homes will range from about 1,200 to 1,800 square feet. The duplex units will have two bedrooms, one bathroom, and range from 700 to 900 square feet. Lot sizes will range from about 3,200 to 6,500 square feet and each lot will include its own parking.
Bill Frampton, the project manager, said per the county's approval of the project through the state's 201H fast-track affordable housing process, the homes will need to break ground by September 2020. The housing units must be completed and ready for occupancy by September 2022.
"However, we recognize that there is a critical shortage of affordable housing units, and as such, we are confident in our capable project team and great local investors and are committed to do everything in our power to finish the project before the required time lines," Frampton said in a email.

He did a great job with our Travel Itinerary everything went to plan I would recommend Australian Escapes and this holiday to my friends and family we are definitely going to do this holiday again. I did give Ben a ring and thanked him and told him what a great job he did. We are looking forward to our next holiday with Australian Escapes." Rosanna M.
"I was one of the ladies who went with Cherrie to Norfolk. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and thought you did a marvellous job organising it all for us. The accommodation in both Sydney and Norfolk was outstanding - I had never been to either places before and could have stayed much longer in Sydney, as the view from our hotel windows was wonderful. Everyone on Norfolk was so friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thank you so much for making our holiday so enjoyable." Jan W.
"Hi, have finally returned. Wonderful, wonderful trip. We think we loved Paris and its age/artworks but all was full of laughter fun and learning. Paris apartment was beautiful, & quiet when windows were closed, which wasn't bad anyway. The street is full of lots of restaurants and cafe's. (we also loved Shakespeare & co bookshop.) Fruit and chocolates in most rooms and champagne which I think we only drank in Brussels. we were ready for bed everywhere else though we almost had it for morning tea at Amsterdam on check in. Magnificent. Cheers." Val C.
"Have just returned from our wonderful trip to the UK. Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your organisation, we had the best holiday ever, an absolutely marvellous time, the tour was magnificent. We would recommend the Trafalgar Britain and Ireland Winter delights tour to anyone who wants to do adventurous travel, learning about other countries, and making friends. The coach was actually over half full of Aussies! Thanks so much for organising such a memorable holiday for us." Lee D.
"Deb and I are very grateful for the work you have put into our holiday. 10 days in and we are blown away by the quality and location of the motels and apartments. Many thanks." Jen W.
"My husband and I have recently returned from a holiday to Canada and Alaska booked through Australian Escapes. The itinerary was planned to take in all aspects of the holiday we required. The travel transfers worked seamlessly and the accommodation was at a standard that met our expectations of comfort and location. We absolutely loved the cruise and surprise upgrade to our stateroom. From our experience with this recent trip I would recommend Australian Escapes." Margaret & Bill T.
"We've arrived back safely after a thoroughly enjoyable trip where all the arrangements ran like clockwork, for which we want to thank you and your team, especially Sonya and Skye. We'd have no hesitation in recommending you and Volga Dream cruises to anyone who asks. Kind regards and thanks again." Irene and Blake S.
"I want to thank you for all the accommodation you arranged for us during our holiday in North Queensland in August. It was all excellent. The transfers went very smoothly too and we couldn't have been more pleased with our holiday. Thank you for making everything so easy." Gloria K.
"My life has been like a whirlwind since I got back. I am now on holidays and catching up with people that I have not had time to contact since coming back. Thank you so much for organising my trip to The States and Canada for me. I had a great time and everything went really well. All flights went well. The hotel you booked me into in Champaign was a really old home with beautiful gardens, all done up and run by two gay guys. It was really quaint and I loved it. I had a great time, everything went without a hitch, I loved all the accommodation that you organized for me and I would like to wish you a happy Christmas and all the best." Marlene S.
"A message of thanks to you and your staff. The holiday went off without any problems and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and and had a wonderful time. Again many thanks." Dianne D.
"We are back and rested after a hectic few weeks (away), but everything worked out extremely well. Thanks so much for all your organisation – once you get used to the trains and buses, life becomes easy. Once again, thanks to you and the team for all the organisation from both Lorraine and I – we really enjoyed the holiday. All the best." Bob C.
"We just wanted to let you know that the arrangements you put in place for us in WA worked beautifully. You said the Margaret River accommodation was exceptional and it certainly was both in terms of location and facilites. Thanks again." Betty and Clancy S.

Designated Broker | Verrado Resident
Cell: 623-810-7098
Growing up in Santa Barbara, CA, I was surrounded by beauty and great architecture. My husband built custom homes for 35 years and we were immersed in the world of creating homes, not just houses.
When our daughter and her husband began to look for a less expensive place to settle, that held the standards of beauty and community that we were accustomed to, they stumbled upon Verrado and fell in love with it. In 2004, as parents so often do, we agreed that we too would make this move along with them. We now have 3 grandchildren living just a few blocks away, attending the Verrado schools, enjoying the parks and spending lots of time with us!! We have heard this story from so many of our friends here in Verrado!
Working for Verrado Realty for 12 years, I have had the privilege of being a part of the creation of our community and am so pleased with all it has become and all that lies ahead!!

Mobility is definitely a hot word in the fitness industry right now, and for good reason. It helps in all areas from recovery to performance. Having better mobility means you can more easily get into positions on Olympic lifts and traditional strength moves such as the back squat and front squat. Additionally, improved shoulder mobility will not only improve your kipping motion and therefore your pull ups and muscle ups, but also you won't be suffering from the shoulder injuries that plague some CrossFit competitors. However, this post is specifically concerned with ankle mobility and the quick fix often associated with a lack of ankle mobility - lifting shoes.
Walk into nearly any established CrossFit box and you're bound to see multiple people in Olympic weightlifting shoes. Some people even like to wear them during MetCons, although they are actually designed to be strictly worn for strength movements such as the snatch, clean and jerk, and back squat. The reason you'll see so many people in them, however, is because these shoes are a quick fix for ankle mobility issues.
When someone first walks into a CrossFit box, the chances are they cannot perform even a basic air squat with correct form. Since so many of us spend so much time sitting behind a desk, the reason for the inability to squat is due to locked hips and immobile ankles. Simply working out, along with stretching post-WOD generally opens the hips up well enough to squat correctly, but the ankles are a different story. They are more difficult to work on, and often times people look for a quick fix. The raised heel of the Olympic lifting shoe (check out the best ones here) allows your ankle to have to flex less when completing a lift. Basically, you get a slight "cheat" in the move.
Now, you may be thinking that the heel of that shoe looks about as raised as a running shoe, so what gives? Why do people use them? Running shoes are a terrible choice for weight bearing movements because they are extremely cushioned, meaning they actually absorb your power. Not what you want when lifting weights. However, flat shoes such as CrossFit Nanos (here) or NoBull Trainers (here) are firm and therefor provide power transfer, but don't give your ankles that same advantage. This is a good thing! You should be able to get into all the required lifting positions without the help of a shoe. If you cannot yet do that, don't put on lifters. Just as you shouldn't wear a weightlifting belt until you know how to brace your core, don't use an Oly lifter as a crutch when you cannot squat correctly.

THESE graffiti yobs are being hunted after two Metro trains were daubed with spray-paint.
Police are appealing for help to identify the vandals who attacked trains parked in Newcastle and Sunderland.
The pair were caught on camera closely studying route maps as they travelled before spray-painting the carriages.
PC Mick Proudfoot said: "Two men were seen onboard a Metro heading towards South Hylton station in the early evening.
"After leaving South Hylton shortly before 8pm, the pair returned 30 minutes later, where they accessed the track from some bushes and carried out their attack, spray painting a side of a Metro carriage.
"After the attack, they were seen to head off along the track towards Pallion station."
Police are linking this incident to a similar graffiti attack in the early hours of the day, around 6am, at St James' Park station in Newcastle.
Officers have trawled through hours of CCTV and came across footage of the men onboard a Metro studying the map carefully.
PC Proudfoot added: "The costs associated with cleaning trains means it is ultimately the fare-paying passenger who has to pay for this damage."
Call British Transport Police on Freefone 0800 40 50 40 quoting background reference B10/NEA of 11/10/2011, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

TOKYO (AP) — A man screaming "You die!" burst into an animation production studio in Kyoto, Japan, and set it on fire Thursday, authorities said, leaving nearly 30 people confirmed or presumed dead, shocking anime fans in and outside Japan.
Most of the dead and the 36 injured were workers at Kyoto Animation, known for mega-hit stories featuring high school girls, with places featured in the stories even becoming "pilgrimage sites" for their fans.
The fire started in the three-story building in Japan's ancient capital after the suspect sprayed an unidentified liquid accelerant, Kyoto prefectural police and fire department officials said. Japanese media reported the fire might have been set near the front door, forcing people to find other exits and possibly delaying their escape.
Public television in Japan reports 33 dead. At least 12 were found on the first and second floors, and eight more on the third floor, Kyoto fire department official Mikihide Daikoku said. Nearly 10 others found on the top floor were presumed dead, he said. Some were found on the stairs, where they apparently collapsed while gasping for air and trying to go out to the roof.
Some of the injured people were in critical condition. Officials said firefighters were still searching inside the building in case anyone else was left behind.
Kyoto police said the suspect was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment. They are investigating the man, who is 41 and not a company employee, on suspicion of arson, police said.
A witness who saw the suspect being approached by police told Japanese networks that the man admitted spreading gasoline and setting a fire with a lighter. She told NHK public television that the man had burns on his arms and legs and that he was angrily complaining that something of his had been "stolen," possibly by the company. NHK footage also showed sharp knives police had collected from the scene, though it was not clear if they belonged to the suspect.
Survivors who saw the attacker said he was not their colleague and that he was screaming "(You) die!" when he dumped the liquid and started the fire, according to Japanese media. They said some of the survivors got splashed with the liquid.
Kyoto Animation, better known as KyoAni, was founded in 1981 as an animation and comic book production studio, and its hits include "Lucky Star," ''K-On!" and "Haruhi Suzumiya." The company does not have a major presence outside Japan, though it was hired to provide secondary animation work on a 1998 "Pokemon" feature that appeared in U.S. theaters and a "Winnie the Pooh" video.
"Why on earth did such violence have to be used?" company president Hideki Hatta asked, as he condemned the attack. Hatta said his company has received anonymous death threats by emails in the past but responded "sincerely" each time, though he was not linking them to Thursday's attack.
Anime fans expressed anger, prayed and mourned for the victims at Kyoto Animation on social networks. A funding site also started up to help the company rebuilt.
Witnesses said they heard bangs coming from the building, others said they saw people coming out blackened, bleeding, walking barefoot, Kyodo News reported. Rescue officials set up an orange tent outside the studio building to provide first aid and sort the injured.
"There was an explosion, then I heard people shouting, some asking for help," a female witness told TBS TV. "Black smoke was rising from windows on upper floors, then there was a man struggling to crawl out of the window."
Fire department officials said more than 70 people were in the building at the time of the fire and many of them ran outside.
