So far, distinct fossils from the Cambrian explosion with o
outlines of soft tissue have been found at the Burgess Shale in Canada, as well as some by the Chengjiang River in Yunnan province. The
newly discovered fossils provide a completely different ecosystem of organisms that lived around the same time, the study said.
Unlike other Cambrian fossil troves, the Qingjiang biota appears to conta
in a high proportion of jellyfish and comb jellies, which are extremely rare at other sites.
Zhang Xingliang, a professor at Northwest University and co-author of the p
aper, said that compared with the Chengjiang biota in the shallow water along the coast, Qi
ngjiang biota lived in deep ocean, making the two biota complementary in their scientific significance.
“The treasure trove of the Qingjiang biota provides an exciting opportunity to explore how paleoenvironmental conditi
ons influenced ecological structuring and evolutionary drivers during the Cambrian explosion,” said Allis
on Daley, a paleontologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, who was not involved in the study.
From Israel to Brexit to France: Trump dips into allies’ politics
He’s trashed the British Prime Minister. He’s cheered protesters in France. And now he’s handed Israel’s embattled leader a win days before a re-elect
ion. When it comes to other countries’ domestic politics, President Donald Trump hasn’t hesitated to put his thumb on the scale.
When he first met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office weeks after his inau
guration, Trump heard out the Israeli prime minister’s appeal to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
But Trump didn’t immediately deliver. Instead, he waited until less than three weeks before the most consequential election of Netanyahu’s polit
ical career to announce “it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.”
Combined with the warm embrace Trump will offer Netany
ahu in Washington next week and the White House’s silence on the timing of the annou
ncement, experts quickly identified Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as a brazen attempt to boost Netanyahu’s re-el
ection chances, giving him a foreign policy achievement to tout in the final stretch of the campaign.
So the fact that the to-and-fro is still in progress this far
down the line highlight that there is a shared desire to secure an accord that delivers on the rapport that has been established — also perhaps beyond both side’s expectations.
But it would be getting ahead of the situation to consider the final push tow
ard a consensus on principled, mutually beneficial cooperation all done and
dusted. That consensus, which President Xi identified as the objectiv
e of the talks when he met with the US negotiators after the previous round of neg
otiations in Beijing, has still not been completed, and probably will not be until the two leaders meet to agree on the final det
ails. But there is no doubt that both sides are aware of how momentous such a consensus would be, beyond the tangible rewards it would offer both cou
ntries. For if the two sides can iron out their core differences by abiding by the principles of mutual respect and m
utual benefit, it would reset their relationship in a way that would bode well for the future.
History in the past four decades shows that the two countries benefit in an all-around wa
y from harmonious trade and economic relations, as they provide the ballast for their relationship.
There is obviously still more work to be done. However, if neither side puts a foot wrong, a deal will finally be signed sooner or later.
ears later, Geovanis worked for the Russian oligarch Oleg
Deripaska, whose ties to Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort have also been of interest to investigators.
Moscow-based businessman David Geovanis
Two witnesses who have given evidence to the Senate Intelligence Committee say the
y were asked about Geovanis’ past relationship with the President during interviews last year. The
interviews were conducted by staff working for both the Republican and Democratic sides of the committee, ac
cording to the sources, who wish to remain anonymous due to the confidential nature of the Senate inquiry.
This is the first time that Geovanis’ name has been reve
aled in connection with the various investigations underway into Russian influence on US politics, wh
ich include a sweeping new House investigation into Trump’s financial interests.
The Senate Intelligence Committee’s interest in Geovanis indicates its inv
estigation is delving further back into Trump’s past in Russia than previously thought.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed the hope on Febru
that China should be involved in international disarmament efforts. “We would of course be glad if such talks were held not j
ust between the United States, Europe and Russia but also with China,” said Merkel at the 55th Munich Security Conference.
Her remarks were clearly directed against Washington and Moscow’s withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.
Yang Jiechi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee,
who was also present at the conference, reiterated that “we [China] are opposed to the multilateralization of INF.”
The INF treaty concerns Europe and Germany’s interests. The US took the lead in abandoning INF, resulting in the collapse of the arms control system.
It is understandable that Berlin is anxious, but Merkel’s hasty call for Beijing is rath
er inappropriate. Her words disrespect China’s interests and wishes, and objectively encourage Washington to quit irresponsibly.
hina’s online payment platforms achieve record ‘red envelo
Digital transferring platforms run by China’s leading internet companies weathered mounting pressure from online transactions during the Chinese New Year c
elebrations with peak transfers reaching as high as 44,000 deals per second, domestic media reported on Tuesday.
As of late Monday, “red envelopes” worth 3.5 billion yuan was transacted through social media payment systems, according to Chinese media reports.
Sending “red envelops” stuffed with money through online payment tools to relative
s, co-workers and friends has become a new defining item for billions of Chinese during the Spring Festival.
The record occurred three seconds past midnight – the New Year’s Eve leading up to the Year
of Pig, Nets Union Clearing Corporation (NUCC) said, according to a report by chinanews.com on Tuesday.
The NUCC was founded by 45 shareholders, including 38 payment institutions, to en
sure effective regulation and transaction security. The People’s Bank of China, the country’s central bank, is the largest shareholder.
The first meeting among countries to improve collabo
oration on CR Express was held in Zhengzhou in October, to reach agreement and promote a long-term, steady, effective and efficient cooperation.
The meeting discussed major obstacles and plans for the freight service, including a work plan for next year and a way to implement rules for cooperation.
In April, a collaboration agreement was signed by railway departments in seven countries involved in the operation of CR Express
, including China, Germany, Russia and Poland. The agreement aims to improve service and efficiency of the freight trains.
CR Express has 57 routes to and from 35 Chinese cities to and from 34 European cities in 12 countries, according to the company.
The collaboration not only involves countries, but also domestic stakehol
ders. In May, a committee consisting of 33 stakeholders of CR Express was launched. The committee, initiate
d by China Railway Corp, includes a number of companies operating the service as well as research institutes.
“As you command, Sire.” Maege Mormont had ridden south
“As you command, Sire.” Maege Mormont had ridden south with Robb, Jon knew. Her eldest daughter had joined the Young Wolf’s host as well. Even if both of them
had died, however, Lady Maege had other daughters, some with children of their own. Had they gone with Robb as well? Surely Lady Maege would have left at
least one of the older girls behind as castellan. He did not understand why Lyanna should be writing Stannis, and
could not help but wonder if the girl’s answer might have been different if the letter had been sealed with a direwolf
instead of a crowned stag, and signed by Jon Stark, Lord of Winterfell. It is too late for such misgivings. You made your choice.
“Two score ravens were sent out,” the king complained, “yet we get no response but silence and defiance. Homage is the duty every leal subject owes his king. Yet
your father’s bannermen all turn their back on me, save the Karstarks. Is Arnolf Karstark the only man of honor in the north?”
Arnolf Karstark was the late Lord Rickard’s uncle. He had been made the castellan of Karhold when his nephew
and his sons went south with Robb, and he had been the first to respond to King Stannis’s call for homage, with a raven
declaring his allegiance. The Karstarks have no other choice, Jon might have said. Rickard Karstark had betrayed the direwolf and spilled the blood of lions.
The stag was Karhold’s only hope. “In times as confused as these, even men of
honor must wonder where their duty lies. Your Grace is not the only king in the realm demanding homage.”
Babu exited the cage in the same careful way he had enteredit. The cage had two floors, one level with us, the other at
theback, higher by about three feet, that led outside to the island.
The goat scrambled to this second level. Mahisha, nowunconcerned with Babu,
paralleled the move in his cage in afluid, effortless motion. He crouched and lay
still, his slowlymoving tail the only sign of tension.
Babu stepped up to the trapdoor
between the cages andstarted pulling it open. In anticipation of satisfaction, Mahishafell silent. I heard two things at that moment: Father saying”Never forget
this lesson” as he looked on grimly, and thebleating of the goat. It must
