Axolotl problems
As Mexico City grew and became more industrialized, the need for water brought pumps and pipes to the lake, and eventually, â??it was like a bad, smelly pond with rotten water,â?? Zambrano said. â??All of our aquatic animals suffer with bad water quality, but amphibians suffer more because they have to breathe with the skin.â??
[url=https://stoppiramida.ru/news/2172/]жеÑ?Ñ?кое поÑ?но[/url]
To add to the axolotlsâ?? 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 axolotlsâ?? 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. â??The axolotl essentially helped establish the field of experimental zoology,â?? 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 salamandersâ?? 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.

Whatâ??s more, â??most of the animals in the pet trade have a very small genetic variance,â?? 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 canâ??t simply be solved by dumping pet axolotls into Lake Xochimilco. (Plus, the pet axolotls likely wouldnâ??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 theyâ??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 â??How to Train Your Dragonâ?? 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 doesnâ??t directly harm the wild populations since wild salamanders arenâ??t being poached or taken from Lake Xochimilco. However, Zambrano said, axolotlsâ?? ubiquity in pop culture and pet stores might make people assume that because axolotls â??live in all the tanks around the world, they are not in danger.â??

LarryOweriHow Trump changed his mind on tariffs16.4.2025 19.46
WASHINGTON â?? â??Liberation Dayâ?? just gave way to Capitulation Day.

President Donald Trump pulled back Wednesday on a series of harsh tariffs targeting friends and foes alike in an audacious bid to remake the global economic order.

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.

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 401(k)s to rethink their retirement plans.

Ahead of Trump's announcement, some of his advisers had been in a near panic about the bond markets, according to a senior administration official. Interest rates on 10-year Treasury bonds had been rising, contrary to what normally happens when stock prices fall and investors seek safety in treasuries. The unusual dynamic meant that at the same time the tariffs could push up prices, people would be paying more to buy homes or pay off credit card debt because of higher interest rates. Businesses looking to expand would pay more for new loans.

Two of Trump's most senior advisers, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, presented a united front Wednesday, urging him to suspend the tariffs in light of the bond market, the administration official said.

In a social media post, Trump announced a 90-day pause that he said heâ??ll use to negotiate deals with dozens of countries that have expressed openness to revising trade terms that he contends exploit American businesses and workers. One exception is China. Trump upped the tariff on the countryâ??s biggest geopolitical rival to 125%, part of a tit-for-tat escalation in an evolving trade war.

Trump reversed course one week after he appeared in the Rose Garden and unveiled his plan to bring jobs back to the United States. Displaying a chart showing the new, elevated tariffs that countries would face, Trump proclaimed, â??My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day.â??

President Donald Trump wants to bring back American manufacturing in ways that would reshape the United States economy to look more like Chinaâ??s. 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.

Announcing a series of sweeping tariffs in a move dubbed â??Liberation Day,â?? Trump said last week that it will lead factories to move production back to American shores, boosting the U.S. economy after â??foreign leaders have stolen our jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.â??
bs2best at
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 â??the lack of respect that China has shown to the Worldâ??s Markets.â?? Higher targeted tariffs on other countries have been paused for 90 days, although the 10% baseline tariff will remain in place for all countries.

Meme-makers and Chinese government officials have in recent days begun pointing out the irony of Trumpâ??s tariff-driven manufacturing pivot through AI-generated satire and political cartoons that have percolated online, with many American users boosting the jokes.

President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed the Federal Aviation Administrationâ??s â??diversity pushâ?? in part for the plane collision that killed 67 people in Washington, DC. But DEI backers, including most top US companies, believe a push for diversity has been good for their businesses.

Trump did not cite any evidence for how efforts to hire more minorities, people with disabilities and other groups less represented in American workforces led to the crash, saying â??it just could have beenâ?? and that he had â??common sense.â?? But Trump criticized the FAAâ??s effort to recruit people with disabilities during Joe Bidenâ??s administration, even though the FAAâ??s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period, issued under Trumpâ??s first administration, promoted and supported â??the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.â??

Itâ??s not the first time opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, or DEI, have said they can kill people. â??DEI means people DIE,â?? Elon Musk said after the California wildfires, criticizing the Los Angeles Fire Department and city and state officials for their efforts to advance diversity in their workforces.

â??We donâ??t want the American Dream for our kidsâ??: Why this couple left the US for Ecuador with their children four years ago
номеÑ? Ñ?Ñ?иÑ?Ñ?а Ñ? вÑ?йÑ?Ñ?ковиÑ? Ñ?пÑ?аваÑ? Ð?апоÑ?Ñ?жжÑ?
Theyâ??d 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.

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

â??We did not like what weâ??d seen develop over the course of the last couple decadesâ?¦â?? adds Brittany, explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming â??more isolated.â??

â??We werenâ??t confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared.

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

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

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

So why did they choose Ecuador as their â??new homeâ???

DonaldhorRetirees 'stunned' as market turmoil over tariffs shrinks their 401(k)s13.4.2025 15.25
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 Trumpâ??s escalation of tariffs.

kraken27
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.

kra4 at
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.

â??Iâ??m 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,â?? 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://kra21a.cc
â??What weâ??ve been doing is trying to enjoy the time that we have, but you want to be able to make it last,â?? Paula said Friday. â??I have no confidence here.â??

Trump fulfilled his campaign promise this week to unleash sweeping tariffs, including on the United Statesâ?? 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%.

Tbilisi, Georgia â?? 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.

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.
kra23 cc
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.

The worldâ??s largest architectural model captures New York City in the â??90s
aerodrome finance
The Empire State building stands approximately 15 inches tall, whereas the Statue of Liberty measures at just under two inches without its base. At this scale, even ants would be too big to represent people in the streets below.

These lifelike miniatures of iconic landmarks can be found on the Panorama â?? which, at 9,335 square feet, is the largest model of New York City, meticulously hand-built at a scale of 1:1,200. The sprawling model sits in its own room at the Queens Museum, where it was first installed in the 1960s, softly rotating between day and night lighting as visitors on glass walkways are given a birdâ??s eye view of all five boroughs of the city.

To mark the modelâ??s 60th anniversary, which was celebrated last year, the museum has published a new book offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the Panorama was made. Original footage of the last major update to the model, completed in 1992, has also gone on show at the museum as part of a 12-minute video that features interviews with some of the renovators.

The Queens Museumâ??s assistant director of archives and collections, Lynn Maliszewski, who took CNN on a visit of the Panorama in early March, said she hopes the book and video will help to draw more visitors and attention to the copious amount of labor â?? over 100 full-time workers, from July 1961 to April 1964 â?? that went into building the model.

â??Sometimes when I walk in here, I get goosebumps, because this is so representative of dreams and hopes and family and struggle and despair and excitementâ?¦ every piece of the spectrum of human emotion is here (in New York) happening at the same time,â?? said Maliszewski. â??It shows us things that you canâ??t get when youâ??re on the ground.â??
Original purpose
The Panorama was originally built for the 1964 New York Worldâ??s Fair, then the largest international exhibition in the US, aimed at spotlighting the cityâ??s innovation. The fair was overseen by Robert Moses, the influential and notorious urban planner whose highway projects displaced hundreds of thousands New Yorkers. When Moses commissioned the Panorama, which had parts that could be removed and redesigned to determine new traffic patterns and neighborhood designs, he saw an opportunity to use it as a city planning tool.

Originally built and revised with a margin of error under 1%, the model was updated multiple times before the 1990s, though it is now frozen in time. According to Maliszewski, it cost over $672,000 to make in 1964 ($6.8 million in todayâ??s money) and nearly $2 million (about $4.5 million today) was spent when it was last revised in 1992.

Joshuacamtrust wallet25.3.2025 2.17
The crypto industry is advancing. (Just donâ??t ask it where itâ??s going.)
trust wallet
After a dramatic start to the year, the crypto industry is settling into a new reality â?? one in which the White House is laying out the red carpet and promising an unprecedented level of support.

Crypto, a roughly 15-year-old industry thatâ??s largely operated on the fringes of finance, is at a crossroads. For years, it has blamed a hostile regulatory environment for not allowing it to unleash its supposedly revolutionary technology on Americans. Now, though, their favorite bogeyman, Gary Gensler, the Securities and Exchange Commission chief under President Joe Biden, is gone. Crypto cheerleaders have been installed throughout the government.

The SEC has dropped several enforcement cases against crypto companies and, starting Friday, is hosting a series of public roundtables â??to discuss key areas of interest in the regulation of crypto assets.â??

Under President Donald Trump, thereâ??s virtually nothing stopping crypto companies from creating and selling their products.

At the same time, the same White Houseâ??s chaotic trade policy is undermining financial marketsâ?? appetite for risk, leaving bitcoin in limbo, more than 20% off from its record high in January. And while the industry is grateful for all the attention, the White Houseâ??s embrace of some of cryptoâ??s less savory aspects, like meme coins, has given serious investors pause.

Given the enormous potential for the $3 trillion industry in this moment, I checked in with Eswar Prasad, a Cornell University professor of international trade and the author of the 2021 book â??The Future of Money,â?? about the forces disrupting financial technologies.

Fundamentally, Prasad brings a pragmatistâ??s view of crypto that is as refreshing as it is rare in a subject area that tends to attract zealots and loudmouths. We spoke over the phone shortly after the first-of-its-kind White House crypto summit earlier this month.

The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Nightcap: We just saw a pretty wild thing happen with the crypto summit â?? hard to imagine a scenario like that taking place under any previous administration. What were your takeaways?

Eswar Prasad: The crypto industry is kissing the ring, and I think itâ??s getting exactly what it wants from the Trump administration, which is the legitimacy provided by government oversight, coupled with what is almost certain to be quite light touch and non-inclusive regulation.

And I think we saw many of the major players in the crypto industry essentially using the opportunity to not just thank Trump, but try to make the point, which seemed to resonate with Trump, that this industry can power, in some sense, a resurgence of a certain part of the US economy.
