    Rescuers are hailing as a “four-legged hero” a furry Chihuahua whose pacing atop an Alpine rock helped a helicopter crew find its owner who had fallen into a crevasse on a Swiss glacier nearby. tripscan войти The man who was not identified was exploring the Fee Glacier in southern Switzerland on Friday when he broke through a snow bridge and fell nearly 8 meters about 26 feet according to Air Zermatt a rescue training and transport company. Equipped with a walkie-talkie the man connected with a person nearby who relayed the accident to emergency services. But the exact location was unknown. After about a half-hour search the pacing pooch caught the eye of a rescue team member. https://tripscan.biz tripscan As the crew zeroed on the Chihuahua the hole the man fell into became more visible. Rescuers rappelled down rescued the man and flew him and his canine companion to a hospital. “Imagine if the dog wasn’t there” Air Zermatt spokesman Bruno Kalbermatten said by phone. “I have no idea what would happen to this guy. I think he wouldn’t survive this fall into the crevasse.” On its website the company was effusive: “The dog is a four-legged hero who may have saved his master’s life in a life-threatening situation.”

    Emily Mazreku director of marketing and communications at Breakthrough T1D lives with type 1 diabetes and worked with Mattel to design the doll. кракен вход Barbie’s phone app displays a snapshot of her actual blood sugar readings from one day during the design process. Barbie’s blood glucose reading is 130 milligrams of sugar per deciliter of blood which is in the normal range. Most people with diabetes try to keep their blood sugar between 70 and 180 mg/dl.Her continuous glucose monitor has a graph that shows the highs and lows that can happen during the day. The blue polka dots are nods to the colors and symbols for diabetes awareness. https://kra34tt.cc Площадка кракен Mazreku spent almost two years holding focus groups to get feedback about the features of the doll and to make sure it was representing the entire type 1 diabetes community. “Mattel approached us and they wanted this to be a part of their Fashionista line” Mazreku said. “And we jumped on that opportunity right away.” The line has dolls with more than 175 different looks including a variety of skin tones eye and hair colors. It includes a Barbie with behind-the-ear hearing aids a blind doll who uses a cane and another with a prosthetic leg. There’s also a doll with vitiligo a condition in which skin loses its pigment and becomes splotchy. “We know that increasing the number of people who can see themselves in Barbie continues to resonate” said Devin Duff a spokesperson for Mattel in an email to CNN. The company said the blind Barbie and a doll with Down syndrome were among the most popular Fashionista dolls globally in 2024. The company launched its first doll with a disability — a friend for Barbie called Share-a-smile Becky who used a wheelchair — in 1997. Customers noted at the time that Becky’s wheelchair couldn’t fit through the doors of the Barbie Dream House a situation many people with disabilities encounter in real life.

    Job losses But what about the impact of tariffs on job creation? Surprisingly an increase in import taxes has been found to result in slightly more unemployment across countries. kraken tor An example provided by Irwin at Dartmouth College points to one plausible explanation — and it has to do with the steeper cost of imported goods. “A number of studies have shown on net we lost jobs from the 2018 steel tariffs rather than gained jobs because there are more people employed in the downstream user industries than in the steel industry itself” he said. https://kra34g.cc kraken сайт A study by the Federal Reserve Board found that a rise in input costs resulting from US tariff hikes in 2018-19 led to job losses in American manufacturing. The damage from those higher expenses was compounded by retaliatory taxes on US exports more than offsetting a small boost to manufacturing employment from US tariffs — at least so far the 2024 paper said. Retaliation by other countries is indeed another danger of pulling the tariff lever. Higher tariffs on American exports would typically raise their prices for foreign consumers hitting demand for the goods in many cases. When Trump announced new tariffs this year America’s major trading partners were quick to strike back with their own levies although the US then agreed a temporary truce with China and the European Union. Costs of free trade While economists generally agree that free trade has benefited the global economy in recent decades they acknowledge that it comes with certain costs. One is the loss of jobs in communities that are particularly exposed to new competition from foreign manufacturers. That is similar to the impact of technological progress on workers. “Manufacturing jobs as a share of the labor force have come down everywhere. It isn’t a US-specific story” said Gimber at JPMorgan Asset Management pointing to automation. He drew a parallel between helping workers affected by higher imports and what is known as a just transition — the idea that the drastic changes needed to move toward a greener economy should be fair to everyone and minimize harm to workers and communities. In both cases providing workers in impacted industries with new skills or retraining them could be key Gimber said. Another potential cost of free trade is dependency on far-flung manufacturers. That took on new relevance during the pandemic which snarled global supply chains contributing to shortages of products such as face masks and respirators in the US and elsewhere. However economists do not typically see tariffs as a good way to build up domestic manufacturing Fatas at INSEAD said noting that subsidies for specific industries are viewed as a better tool “because they work more directly.” But perhaps the strongest argument in favor of free trade is its importance to maintaining peace between nations. As Gimber’s colleague David Kelly noted in March closer trade relations give countries more to lose in any conflict.

    Santa Fe New Mexico AP — At least three people were missing in a mountain village in southern New Mexico that is a popular summer retreat after monsoon rains triggered flash flooding Tuesday that was so intense an entire house was swept downstream. трип скан Emergency crews carried out at least 85 swift water rescues in the Ruidoso area including of people who were trapped in their homes and cars said Danielle Silva of the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. No deaths were immediately reported but Silva said the extent of the destruction wouldn’t be known until the water recedes. https://tripscan.live tripskan “We knew that we were going to have floods … and this one hit us harder than what we were expecting” Ruidoso Mayor Lynn D. Crawford said during a radio address Tuesday night. Crawford said that some people were taken to the hospital although the exact number was not immediately clear. He encouraged residents to call an emergency line if their loved ones or neighbors were missing. The floods came just days after flash floods in Texas killed over 100 people and left more than 160 people missing. In New Mexico officials urged residents to seek higher ground Tuesday afternoon as the waters of the Rio Ruidoso rose nearly 19 feet in a matter of minutes amid heavy rainfall. The National Weather Service issued flood warnings in the area which was stripped of vegetation by recent wildfires. A weather service flood gauge and companion video camera showed churning waters of the Rio Ruidoso surge over the river’s banks into surrounding forest. Streets and bridges were closed in response. Kaitlyn Carpenter an artist in Ruidoso was riding her motorcycle through town Tuesday afternoon when the storm started to pick up and she sought shelter at the riverside Downshift Brewing Company with about 50 other people. She started to film debris rushing down the Rio Ruidoso when she spotted a house float by with a familiar turquoise door. It belonged to the family of one of her best friends. Her friend’s family was not in the house and is safe she said. “I’ve been in that house and have memories in that house so seeing it come down the river was just pretty heartbreaking” Carpenter said. “I just couldn’t believe it.” There were also reports of dead horses near the town’s horse racing track the mayor said. Two National Guard rescue teams and several local teams already were in the area when the flooding began Silva said and more Guard teams were expected. The area has been especially vulnerable to flooding since the summer of 2024 when the South Fork and Salt fires raced across tinder-dry forest and destroyed an estimated 1400 homes and structures. Residents were forced to flee a wall of flames only to grapple with intense flooding later that summer.
