Trumps early afternoon announcement followed a harrowing week in which Republican lawmakers and confidants privately warned him that the tariffs could wreck the economy. His own aides had quietly raised alarms about the financial markets before he suspended a tariff regime that he had unveiled with a flourish just one week earlier in a Rose Garden ceremony.

Reporting from Hong Kong

China's public language on its trade war with the U.S. has become increasingly bellicose and took a new turn today when Beijing's foreign ministry said the Trump administration's tariffs have made the U.S. a barbarian of the 21st century.

Trumps tariffs will never America great again ministry of foreign affairs spokesperson Huang Jingrui, wrote in an open letter today in Hong Kongs newspaper South China Morning Post.

A tariff-wielding barbarian who attempts to force countries to call and beg for mercy can never expect that call from China, Huang said, adding that the U.S. is obsessed with the art of bullying and blackmailing the entire world.

EU welcomes 90-day tariff pause

Peter Guo

The EU President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the region welcomes Trumps announcement to pause tariffs for 90 days.

Von der Leyen said the EU remains committed to constructive negotiations with the U.S., according to a statement from her office.

Meanwhile, Europe continues to focus on diversifying their trade partnerships, engaging with countries that account for 87% of global trade, she said.

Trumps tariffs have shown that the European internal market is the regions anchor of stability and resilience in times of uncertainty, von der Leyen added.

Trade war with China 'to spark a wave of smuggling'

Peter Guo

Reporting from Hong Kong

Irregular trade including smuggling will most likely rise amid the U.S.' and China's tit-for-tat tariffs, an economist warns.

The cost of tariffs has become prohibitive to almost every company, Tianchen Xu, senior economist at Economist Intelligence Unit.

As a result, trade flows in both directions will tumble, and irregular trade will proliferate, including smuggling, transshipment and systemic under-reporting of trade value during customs clearance, Xu said in a note.

Xu said trade negotiations and a partial de-escalation in the ongoing trade war may ensue in the coming months, but those tensions are likely to worsen in the short term between the worlds two largest economies.

Tbilisi, Georgia Jailed journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli gets weaker every day as her hunger strike has reached three weeks in Rustavi, a town near the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, her lawyer says. Now the 49-year-old is having difficulty walking the short distance from her cell to the room where they usually meet, and human rights officials, colleagues and family fear for her life.
[url=https://kra29at.com]kra23.cc[/url]
Amaghlobeli was arrested Jan. 12 during an anti-government protest in the coastal city of Batumi, one of over 40 people in custody on criminal charges from a series of demonstrations that have hit the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million in recent months.
[url=https://kra-30.at]kra28.cc[/url]
The political turmoil follows a parliamentary election that was won by the ruling Georgian Dream party, although its opponents allege the vote was rigged.

Protests highlight battle over Georgia's future. Here's why it matters.
Its outcome pushed Georgia further into Russia's orbit of influence. Georgia aspired to join the European Union, but the party suspended accession talks with the bloc after the election.

As it sought to cement its grip on power, Georgian Dream has cracked down on freedom of assembly and expression in what the opposition says is similar to President Vladimir Putin's actions in neighboring Russia, its former imperial ruler.

Axolotl problems
As Mexico City grew and became more industrialized, the need for water brought pumps and pipes to the lake, and eventually, it was like a bad, smelly pond with rotten water, Zambrano said. All of our aquatic animals suffer with bad water quality, but amphibians suffer more because they have to breathe with the skin.
[url=https://rutube.ru/video/98e7f1cec0843c1d18fdb14bf1686d96/] [/url]
To add to the axolotls problems, invasive fish species such as carp and tilapia were introduced to the lake, where they feed on axolotl eggs. And a 1985 earthquake in Mexico City displaced thousands of people, who found new homes in the area around the lake, further contributing to the destruction of the axolotls habitat.

These combined threats have devastated axolotl populations. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, there are fewer than 100 adult axolotls left in the wild. The species is considered critically endangered.
While the wild axolotls of Lake Xochimilco have dwindled to near-extinction, countless axolotls have been bred for scientific laboratories and the pet trade. The axolotl essentially helped establish the field of experimental zoology, Voss said.

In 1864, a French army officer brought live axolotls back to Europe, where scientists were surprised to learn that the seemingly juvenile aquatic salamanders were capable of reproduction. Since then, scientists around the world have studied axolotls and their DNA to learn about the salamanders unusual metamorphosis (or lack thereof) as well as their ability to regrow injured body parts.
In addition to their role in labs, axolotls have become popular in the exotic pet trade (though they are illegal to own in California, Maine, New Jersey and Washington, DC). However, the axolotls you might find at a pet shop are different from their wild relatives in Lake Xochimilco. Most wild axolotls are a dark grayish brown. The famous pink axolotls, as well as other color variants such as white, blue, yellow and black, are genetic anomalies that are rare in the wild but selectively bred for in the pet trade.

Whats more, most of the animals in the pet trade have a very small genetic variance, Zambrano said. Pet axolotls tend to be inbred and lack the wide flow of different genes that makes up a healthy population in the wild. That means that the axolotl extinction crisis cant simply be solved by dumping pet axolotls into Lake Xochimilco. (Plus, the pet axolotls likely wouldnt fare well with the poor habitat conditions in the lake.)

Fame and misfortune
The difficulties that axolotls face in the wild are almost diametrically opposed to the fame theyve found in recent years. Axolotls have captured the human imagination for centuries, as evidenced by their roles in Aztec religion and stories, but the early 21st century seems to be a high point for them. An axolotl graces the 50 peso bill. There are axolotl-inspired Pokemon, and Reddit commenters have noted that the character Toothless from the How to Train Your Dragon movie series is distinctly axolotl-like.

The introduction of axolotls to Minecraft in 2021 neatly mapped onto an uptick in Google searches for the animals, and social media makes it easy for people to gain access to photos and videos of the salamanders, particularly the photogenic pink ones often kept as pets.

The axolotl pet trade probably doesnt directly harm the wild populations since wild salamanders arent being poached or taken from Lake Xochimilco. However, Zambrano said, axolotls ubiquity in pop culture and pet stores might make people assume that because axolotls live in all the tanks around the world, they are not in danger.

President Donald Trump wants to bring back American manufacturing in ways that would reshape the United States economy to look more like Chinas. The campaign, which has led to a rapidly escalating trade war with China, has given ample social media fodder to Chinese and American observers alike.
<a href=https://bs2besta2.at>bsme at</a>
Announcing a series of sweeping tariffs in a move dubbed Liberation Day, Trump said last week that it will lead factories to move production back to American shores, boosting the U.S. economy after foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.
<a href=https://bs2besta2.at>bs2best.at</a>
In a Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump announced that he is raising tariffs on goods imported from China to 125%, up from the 104% that took effect the same day, due to the lack of respect that China has shown to the Worlds Markets. Higher targeted tariffs on other countries have been paused for 90 days, although the 10% baseline tariff will remain in place for all countries.
<a href=https://bs2bestat.at>blacksprut</a>
Meme-makers and Chinese government officials have in recent days begun pointing out the irony of Trumps tariff-driven manufacturing pivot through AI-generated satire and political cartoons that have percolated online, with many American users boosting the jokes.

Americans nearing retirement and recent retirees said they were anxious and frustrated following a second day of market turmoil that hit their 401(k)s after President Donald Trumps escalation of tariffs.

<a href=https://kraken7.vip>kra7 cc</a>
As the impending tariffs shook the global economy Friday, people who were planning on their retirement accounts to carry them through their golden years said the economic chaos was hitting too close to home.

<a href=https://kra16c.cc>kraken16</a>
Some said they are pausing big-ticket purchases and reconsidering home renovations, while others said they fear their quality of life will be adversely affected by all the turmoil.

Im just kind of stunned, and with so much money in the market, we just sort of have to hope we have enough time to recover, said Paula, 68, a former occupational health professional in New Jersey who retired three years ago.

Paula, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared retaliation for speaking out against Trump administration policies, said she was worried about what lies ahead.
https://kra--24.cc
What weve been doing is trying to enjoy the time that we have, but you want to be able to make it last, Paula said Friday. I have no confidence here.

Trump fulfilled his campaign promise this week to unleash sweeping tariffs, including on the United States largest trading partners, in a move that has sparked fears of a global trade war. The decision sent the stock market spinning. On Friday afternoon, the broad-based S&P 500 closed down 6%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped 5.8%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 2,200 points, or about 5.5%.

Lunar clockwork
What scientists know for certain is that they need to get precision timekeeping instruments to the moon.
[url=https://kra30c.cc]kraken [/url]
Exactly who pays for lunar clocks, which type of clocks will go, and where theyll be positioned are all questions that remain up in the air, Gramling said.

We have to work all of this out, she said. I dont think we know yet. I think it will be an amalgamation of several different things.
https://kra30c.cc

Atomic clocks, Gramling noted, are great for long-term stability, and crystal oscillators have an advantage for short-term stability.
You never trust one clock, Gramling added. And you never trust two clocks.

Clocks of various types could be placed inside satellites that orbit the moon or perhaps at the precise locations on the lunar surface that astronauts will one day visit.

As for price, an atomic clock worthy of space travel could cost around a few million dollars, according Gramling, with crystal oscillators coming in substantially cheaper.

But, Patla said, you get what you pay for.

The very cheap oscillators may be off by milliseconds or even 10s of milliseconds, he added. And that is important because for navigation purposes we need to have the clocks synchronized to 10s of nanoseconds.

A network of clocks on the moon could work in concert to inform the new lunar time scale, just as atomic clocks do for UTC on Earth.

(There will not, Gramling added, be different time zones on the moon. There have been conversations about creating different zones, with the answer: No, she said. But that could change in the future.)

A whole different mindset
Accurate clockwork is one matter. But how future astronauts living and working on the lunar surface will experience time is a different question entirely.
[url=https://kra30c.cc]kraken [/url]
On Earth, our sense of one day is governed by the fact that the planet completes one rotation every 24 hours, giving most locations a consistent cycle of daylight and darkened nights. On the moon, however, the equator receives roughly 14 days of sunlight followed by 14 days of darkness.

Its just a very, very different concept on the moon, Betts said. And (NASA is) talking about landing astronauts in the very interesting south polar region (of the moon), where you have permanently lit and permanently shadowed areas. So, thats a whole other set of confusion.
https://kra30c.cc

Itll be challenging for those astronauts, Betts added. Its so different than Earth, and its just a whole different mindset.

That will be true no matter what time is displayed on the astronauts watches.

Still, precision timekeeping matters not just for the sake of scientifically understanding the passage of time on the moon but also for setting up all the infrastructure necessary to carry out missions.

The beauty of creating a time scale from scratch, Gramling said, is that scientists can take everything they have learned about timekeeping on Earth and apply it to a new system on the moon.

And if scientists can get it right on the moon, she added, they can get it right later down the road if NASA fulfills its goal of sending astronauts deeper into the solar system.

We are very much looking at executing this on the moon, learning what we can learn, Gramling said, so that we are prepared to do the same thing on Mars or other future bodies.

Aged 15, New Zealander Sam Ruthe has already run a four-minute mile. He would love to try and qualify for the 2028 Olympics
[url=https://parasvvap.org]paraswap[/url]

Sam Ruthe had the eyes of thousands on him when he stepped onto a running track in Auckland just over a week ago.

Undaunted by the occasion, Ruthe went on to become the first 15-year-old to run a sub-four-minute mile, even managing a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders as he crossed the finish line.

The race was almost entirely engineered for the high school student to break the fabled four-minute barrier a feat first achieved by Roger Bannister more than 70 years ago but the weight of running history was a burden that Ruthe seemed to bear lightly.

The first three laps, he later said in a video documenting the race, felt pretty comfortable nothing too crazy.

Perhaps the most intimidating part of his achievement occurred when Ruthe returned to school the next day, only to be immediately called into the principals office.

Hes like, Alright, so youre gonna have to go up on stage and well get the whole school to clap you, Ruthe tells CNN Sports Patrick Snell. It was really scary, actually. I headed into class and everyone thought I was famous.

Its easy to forget, given his history-making performance last week, that Ruthe is like most other 15-year-olds in New Zealand. He goes to school, spends time with his friends, and helps with chores around the house.

He also just happens to be one of the most exciting middle-distance runners on the planet, one of the latest star athletes to emerge from sports-mad New Zealand.

Tyler ONeill hits record-extending sixth straight Opening Day home run
[url=https://orbiferfi.com]orbiter[/url]
For six seasons in a row, Tyler ONeill has homered on MLB Opening Day.

Making his debut for the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, ONeill started the season with his record-extending sixth straight home run on Opening Day during his teams 12-2 win against the Toronto Blue Jays.

No other player has homered on more than four consecutive Opening Days, with the 29-year-old outfielders three-run shot sending the Orioles into a 5-0 lead at the top of the third at Rogers Centre.
Todd Hundley (1994-97), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Yogi Berra (1955-58) all hit four consecutive home runs on Opening Day, while the Major League Baseball record for the total number of Opening Day home runs is held jointly by Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Robinson on eight.

Im just not trying to make too much of it, ONeill told reporters about his streak. Im just trying to go out, have a good first at-bat and see what the game gives me from there.

Obviously, I understand whats going on, but its not like Im going out there trying to do anything crazy.

ONeill, who signed a three-year, $49.5 million contract to join Baltimore from the Boston Red Sox in the offseason, finished three-for-three with three RBIs and two walks against the Blue Jays.

Its a little different when the lights turn on and youve got to show up, so it was really cool to see all the guys show up today, he said. We got after it out there.

While the first two games of the MLB regular season took place between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers in Tokyo last week, Thursday marked the first official day of the season in the United States.

Critics say this power imbalance is clear in the 2016 contract Guyana signed with Exxon. Under the agreement, Exxon keeps 75% of everything it makes from its oil operations in Guyana, with the remaining 25% shared equally between the company and the government, which also takes a 2% royalty.
[url=https://llidofl.fi]lido fi[/url]
It was a bad deal, Ali said in the BBC interview, but he has rejected the idea of unilaterally changing the agreement, which was signed by the previous government. He says the next contract with Exxon will be on different terms.

An Exxon spokesperson said the contract is globally competitive for countries at a similar stage of exploration and said Guyana is averaging $1 billion a year in oil profits.

Exxon has also faced a number of lawsuits over its potential environmental impact, many filed by Melinda Janki, a Guyanese international lawyer, who drafted the countrys Environmental Protection Act back in the 1990s.

A big victory for Guyanas people and environment came in 2023, when the court ruled Exxon should have unlimited liability for the costs of any oil spill. Exxon has since appealed the ruling and has posted a $2 billion guarantee while it awaits the appeal outcome.
Exxon said this commitment supplements its robust balance sheets and the insurance policies they already had in place. Janki says this isnt enough. Offshore oil spills can be extremely expensive to deal with, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill cost nearly $70 billion to clean up.

The push and pull between those who say oil offers Guyana a brighter future and those who fear the industrys impact will continue.

Exxon said its had a positive impact on the country, including employing more than 6,200 people, investing more than $2 billion with local Guyanese businesses since 2015 and spending more than $43 million on community projects.

We dont want the American Dream for our kids: Why this couple left the US for Ecuador with their children four years ago
[url=https://advocatdnepr.com.ua/ru/military-lawyer-zaporizhzhia/] [/url]
Theyd never even visited Ecuador before, but Brittany and Blake Bowen, from the United States, decided to move to the South American country in 2021 to give their four children a completely different upbringing.

The Bowens, who were previously based in the state of Washington, have been living in Loja, a small city based in the southern section of the Andes Mountains, ever since, and say that they are in it for the long haul.

We love this little country, Brittany tells CNN Travel. We hope that maybe well have grandkids here one day.
Before the move, the couple, whove been married for nearly 17 years, say that they were becoming increasingly concerned about the pressures placed on children by modern American society and wanted to try something new.

We did not like what wed seen develop over the course of the last couple decades adds Brittany, explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming more isolated.

We werent confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared.

And the more we considered things like that, the more we wondered, Is that even what we want? Do we even want them to be on a fast track to the American Dream?

The couple were also frustrated with living what they describe as the standard American life.

Long commutes and never enough money, says Blake. All those usual problems I was working in a career that was very time consuming, and took me away from home a lot. So we didnt want that anymore.

So why did they choose Ecuador as their new home?

Americans nearing retirement and recent retirees said they were anxious and frustrated following a second day of market turmoil that hit their 401(k)s after President Donald Trumps escalation of tariffs.

As the impending tariffs shook the global economy Friday, people who were planning on their retirement accounts to carry them through their golden years said the economic chaos was hitting too close to home.

Some said they are pausing big-ticket purchases and reconsidering home renovations, while others said they fear their quality of life will be adversely affected by all the turmoil.

Im just kind of stunned, and with so much money in the market, we just sort of have to hope we have enough time to recover, said Paula, 68, a former occupational health professional in New Jersey who retired three years ago.

Paula, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared retaliation for speaking out against Trump administration policies, said she was worried about what lies ahead.

What weve been doing is trying to enjoy the time that we have, but you want to be able to make it last, Paula said Friday. I have no confidence here.

Trump fulfilled his campaign promise this week to unleash sweeping tariffs, including on the United States largest trading partners, in a move that has sparked fears of a global trade war. The decision sent the stock market spinning. On Friday afternoon, the broad-based S&P 500 closed down 6%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped 5.8%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 2,200 points, or about 5.5%.

A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards

Guyanas destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny, rainforested country.

It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019, Exxon and its partners, US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC, had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650,000 barrels of oil a day, with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027.

Guyana now has the worlds highest expected oil production growth through 2035.

This country sandwiched between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush, well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90% of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate.

While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand, and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources, critics say its a dangerous path in a warming world, and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon not Guyana.
Since Exxons transformative discovery, Guyanas government has tightly embraced oil as a route to prosperity. In December 2019, then-President David Granger said in a speech, petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all Every Guyanese will benefit.

Its a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure, healthcare and climate adaptation.

White Lotus villain Jon Gries reveals the true crimes that inspired his twisty take on Greg/Gary
[url=https://fixedf1oat.net]fixedfloat[/url]
When Season 3 of The White Lotus premiered last month, the shock was palpable when returning character Belinda recognized a familiar face at the resort in Thailand: Greg Hunt, the wily suitor of the late Tanya McQuoid.

As the season has unfolded, Greg (played by Jon Gries) has emerged as an antagonist, particularly after Belinda dove into the investigation surrounding Tanyas death and learned that Greg, who now goes by Gary, evaded questioning by authorities.

On a show famous for reinventing itself, the same has been asked of the actor, who says that playing the ever-shifting character has been a welcome challenge and, like White Lotus itself, full of twists.

In the beginning, I totally played him for a guy who was, you know, on his last legs, Gries said in a recent interview with CNN, referencing Gregs very apparent ill health in the first season of White Lotus, which premiered to rave reviews in summer 2021. He added: When you play a character, you want to find his empathetic side, and you want to understand where they came from, and what got them to where they are.

But when he was contacted by creator Mike White about appearing in Season 2, Gries realized he would have to adjust his framing of Greg, despite having previously imagined a comprehensive history for him on his own.

(White) said, Im writing it right now, and Im writing you, and I just need to know here and now: If youre in, Ill continue writing. If not, Ill stop, Gries recalled.

Scientists redid an experiment that showed how life on Earth could have started. They found a new possibility

In the 1931 movie Frankenstein, Dr. Henry Frankenstein howling his triumph was an electrifying moment in more ways than one. As massive bolts of lightning and energy crackled, Frankensteins monster stirred on a laboratory table, its corpse brought to life by the power of electricity.

Electrical energy may also have sparked the beginnings of life on Earth billions of years ago, though with a bit less scenery-chewing than that classic film scene.

Earth is around 4.5 billion years old, and the oldest direct fossil evidence of ancient life stromatolites, or microscopic organisms preserved in layers known as microbial mats is about 3.5 billion years old. However, some scientists suspect life originated even earlier, emerging from accumulated organic molecules in primitive bodies of water, a mixture sometimes referred to as primordial soup.

But where did that organic material come from in the first place? Researchers decades ago proposed that lightning caused chemical reactions in ancient Earths oceans and spontaneously produced the organic molecules.

Now, new research published March 14 in the journal Science Advances suggests that fizzes of barely visible microlightning, generated between charged droplets of water mist, could have been potent enough to cook up amino acids from inorganic material. Amino acids organic molecules that combine to form proteins are lifes most basic building blocks and would have been the first step toward the evolution of life.
