    By Henry Austin A Russian-American woman who was imprisoned for treason by Russia has been freed Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday. mega2olipdgn3zpmm6fjcl2jfeweyy7gjuzrs3mja7nkchflkdu7lfyd Former ballerina Ksenia Karelina was born in Russia but had built a new life as an aesthetician at a Los Angeles spa after immigrating to the United States over a decade ago. She “is on a plane back home to the United States” having been “wrongfully detained by Russia for over a year” Rubio said on in a post on X. He credited President Donald Trump with securing her release. mega2oakke6o6mya3lte64b4d3mrq2ohz6waamfmszcfjhayszqhchqd onion Karolina’s lawyer Mikhail Mushailov confirmed her release in a statement on Instagram. “Two hours ago she was in touch with her relatives and took off from Abu Dhabi to the U.S.” he wrote adding that he had known about her release since Tuesday. mega2ousbpnmmput4tiyu4oa4mjck2icier52ud6lmgrhzlikrxmysid Russia’s Federal Security Service FSB detained Karelina in January 2024 while she was visiting her parents and young sister in the city Yekaterinburg. It did not provide further details or evidence of her alleged crime. mega2ooyov5nrf42ld7gnbsurg2rgmxn2xkxj5datwzv3qy5pk3p57qd At the time Russian legal group Perviy Otdel said it had information that Karelina had donated just over 51.80 from her U.S. bank account on Feb. 24 2022 — the day that Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine — to a charity that sends aid to Ukraine. A spa where she had previously worked confirmed this in a statement on Facebook. Although Russia’s FSB did not confirm that figure it said Karelina’s donation “was subsequently used to purchase tactical medical supplies equipment weapons and ammunition for the Ukrainian armed forces.” She was sentenced in August to 12 years in a penal colony for “high treason” having “fully admitted her guilt” at a closed trial in the southwestern Russian city of Yekaterinberg Sverdlovsky Region Court said in a news release at the time. The sentence came against the backdrop of Russia’s 3-year-long war with Ukraine during which President Vladimir Putin’s government has cracked down on dissent. Any perceived criticism of the military is banned. Recommended mega2 https://mega2oakke6o6mya3lte64b4d3mrq2ohz6waamfmszcfjhayszqhchqd.com

    Why axolotls seem to be everywhere — except in the one lake they call home порно групповое жесток Scientist Dr. Randal Voss gets the occasional reminder that he’s working with a kind of superstar. When he does outreach events with his laboratory he encounters people who are keen to meet his research subjects: aquatic salamanders called axolotls. The amphibians’ fans tell Voss that they know the animals from the internet or from caricatures or stuffed animals exclaiming “‘They’re so adorable we love them’” said Voss a professor of neuroscience at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. “People are drawn to them.” Take one look at an axolotl and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. With their wide eyes upturned mouths and pastel pink coloring axolotls look cheerful and vaguely Muppet-like. They’ve skyrocketed in pop culture fame in part thanks to the addition of axolotls to the video game Minecraft in 2021. These unusual salamanders are now found everywhere from Girl Scout patches to hot water bottles. But there’s more to axolotls than meets the eye: Their story is one of scientific discovery exploitation of the natural world and the work to rebuild humans’ connection with nature. A scientific mystery Axolotl is a word from Nahuatl the Indigenous Mexican language spoken by the Aztecs and an estimated 1.5 million people today. The animals are named for the Aztec god Xolotl who was said to transform into a salamander. The original Nahuatl pronunciation is “AH-show-LOAT”; in English “ACK-suh-LAHT-uhl” is commonly used. Axolotls are members of a class of animals called amphibians which also includes frogs. Amphibians lay their jelly-like eggs in water and the eggs hatch into water-dwelling larval states. In frogs these larvae are called tadpoles. Most amphibians once they reach adulthood are able to move to land. Since they breathe in part by absorbing oxygen through their moist skin they tend to stay near water. Axolotls however never complete the metamorphosis to a land-dwelling adult form and spend their whole lives in the water. “They maintain their juvenile look throughout the course of their life” Voss said. “They’re teenagers at least in appearance until they die.”

    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.” русский анальный секс 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. What’s 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 can’t simply be solved by dumping pet axolotls into Lake Xochimilco. Plus the pet axolotls likely wouldn’t 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 they’ve 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 doesn’t directly harm the wild populations since wild salamanders aren’t 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.”

    How Trump changed his mind on tariffs 2 Peter Nicholas Garrett Haake and Carol E. Lee Reporting from Washington mgmarket5 at “Liberation Day” gave way to Capitulation Day last night. President Donald Trump pulled back yesterday on a series of harsh tariffs targeting friends and foes alike in an audacious bid to remake the global economic order. Image: President Donald Trump Saul Loeb / AFP – Getty Images Trump’s 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. mgmarket2.at The stock market rose immediately after the about-face ending days of losses that have forced older Americans who’ve been sinking their savings into 401ks to rethink their retirement plans.

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. Trump’s tariffs have shown that the European internal market is the region’s “anchor of stability and resilience” in times of uncertainty von der Leyen added. 1h ago / 12:27 PM GMT3 Sharesocial share icon trigger Trade war with China to spark a wave of smuggling Peter Guo Reporting from Hong Kong mgmarket5.at Irregular trade including smuggling will most likely rise amid the U.S. and Chinas 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 world’s two largest economies. 1h ago / 12:09 PM GMT3 Sharesocial share icon trigger California plant business owner says costs will double with tariffs Gadi Schwartz and Phil Helsel The owner of a California home decor and plant shop said that even in dealing locally the sourcing of goods from China is impossible to avoid. mgmarket4 at https://mgmarket15.ru

    ‘Dyson spheres’ were theorized as a way to detect alien life. Scientists say they’ve found potential evidence kraken войти What would be the ultimate solution to the energy problems of an advanced civilization? Renowned British American physicist Freeman Dyson theorized it would be a shell made up of mirrors or solar panels that completely surrounds a star — harnessing all the energy it produces. “One should expect that within a few thousand years of its entering the stage of industrial development any intelligent species should be found occupying an artificial biosphere which completely surrounds its parent star” wrote Dyson in a 1960 paper in which he first explained the concept https://kra30c.cc Площадка кракен If it sounds like science fiction that’s because it is: Dyson took the idea from Olaf Stapledon’s 1937 novel “Star Maker” and he was always open about that. The late scientist was a professor emeritus at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey. Still coming from a thinker who some in the scientific community say might have been worthy of a Nobel Prize early in his career the concept took hold and the hypothetical megastructures became known as Dyson spheres even though the physicist later clarified that they would actually consist of “a loose collection or swarm of objects traveling on independent orbits around the star.” In his paper Dyson also noted that Dyson spheres would give off waste heat detectable as infrared radiation and suggested that looking for that byproduct would be a viable method for searching for extraterrestrial life. However he added that infrared radiation by itself would not necessarily mean extraterrestrial intelligence and that one of the strongest reasons for searching for such sources was that new types of natural astronomical objects might be discovered. “Scientists at the time were largely receptive not to the likelihood that alien civilisations would be found to exist but that a search for waste heat would be a good place to look” said George Dyson a technology writer and author and the second of Dyson’s six children via email. “Science fiction from ‘Footfall’ to ‘Star Trek’ took the idea and ran with it while social critics adopted the Dyson sphere as a vehicle for questioning the wisdom of unlimited technological growth.”

    Broken spheres Dyson died in 2020 before any of his spheres could be found — although they are just one of a dozen ideas that bear his name. kra31 at “As a young scientist Dyson showed that three competing quantum theories were actually the same theory — he summarily ended the competition” said William Press the Leslie Surginer Professor of Computer Science and Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. He was not involved in the study. “Later he applied his genius to areas of astronomy cosmology the extraterrestrial realm and also the very real problem of nuclear proliferation here on planet Earth. At the time of his death he was recognized as a provocative and creative thinker.” George Dyson also attested to his father’s fascination and comprehensive reach across disciplines. https://kra30att.cc kra30at “Taking advantage of a short attention span and an aversion to bureaucracy he contributed to five fields of mathematics and eleven fields of physics as well as to theoretical biology engineering operations research literature and public affairs” the younger Dyson said. “Many of his ideas were controversial with one of his guiding principles being that ‘It is better to be wrong than to be vague.’” The approach of the researchers behind the new study could offer a more fruitful path in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence said Tomotsugu Goto an associate professor of astronomy at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. He also was not involved with the study. “However contamination by circumstellar debris disks which mimic Dyson Sphere infrared signatures remains a concern” he added in an email. “Authors argue that the debris disks around dwarf stars are rare but the 7 candidate authors selected out of 5 million sources are also rare. Despite this the seven candidates warrant further investigation with powerful telescopes for a more definitive evaluation.”
