BEIJING (AP) — When American scholar Orville Schell first visited China in 1975, Mao Zedong was leading the country through the tumultuous Cultural Revolution, when Chinese were being shamed, beaten and even killed for perceived political mistakes. Four years later, Schell returned to a nation transformed. Mao was dead, and the country was pulling itself together under reformist Deng Xiaoping. Some Chinese people even plastered posters on a wall in central Beijing, criticizing past excesses and advocating democracy. "China had suddenly gone from being this implacable enemy that was closed to any contact to being quite open and receptive to interacting," recalled Schell, now the director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the New York-based Asia Society. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FqYlkO via Latest News

By Henry Nicholls and Alex Fraser SALISBURY, England (Reuters) - Hundreds of people who visited the Zizzi restaurant or the Mill pub in the English city of Salisbury were told on Sunday to wash their clothes after traces of nerve agent used to attack a former Russian spy last week were found at both sites. Public Health England said there was no immediate health risk to anyone who may have been in either the restaurant or the pub, but their was a small chance that any of the agent that had come into contact with clothing or belongings could still be present in minute amounts and contaminate skin. Former double agent Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, have been in hospital in a critical condition since March 4, when they were found unconscious on a bench in the southern English cathedral city of Salisbury. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2DjtIaT via Latest News

Florida may soon have one of the country’s strictest child marriage laws after state lawmakers overwhelmingly approved a bill barring marriage for those under the age of 17. The bill passed the House on a 109-1 vote on Friday. Republican Rep. George Moraitis was the sole representative to vote no. He’d said previously that it was “very reasonable” for children aged 16 or older to marry with parental consent. The bill now heads to the desk of Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who’s expected to sign it into law. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2p5yUKg via Latest News

Florida enacted its first gun control measures in more than two decades on Friday when Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act ― in open defiance of the National Rifle Association. As the Trace reported, 67 members of the Florida House and Senate with “A” or “A-plus” ratings from the gun rights group voted for the bill. If you count Scott, who earned an A-plus rating himself, that makes 68 NRA-approved politicians who chose to break with the group. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2p1lDDy via Latest News

Less than 20 years ago, the only challenges for the 100 residents of the tiny island of Kakara, off southwest Japan, were the elements and ensuring the fishermen’s catch could get to market on time.  Today, the islanders are outnumbered three to one by wild boar who feast on their gardens and are becoming increasingly aggressive and territorial. The problems facing the residents of Kakara are being repeated across Japan, with boar numbers exploding as rural populations decline.  Japan's rapidly ageing and shrinking population is part of the reason behind the increase in wild boar, as older rural populations die out, leaving towns and villages empty. Meanwhile, young people are also moving to the cities in search of work. The number of people with shotgun licenses has also fallen sharply in recent years. And as the people leave, the boar are moving in. The first boars apparently swam to Kakara, which covers a mere 1 square mile and sits between Fukuoka and Saga prefectures, but have

Google Contacts' integration with the company's Pay Send service has started rolling out. A Nexus 6P user in Canada shared screenshots of the updated Contacts app (v2.5) which contains a new Send option for making payments. It's a server side change. The user, however, can't use this feature as Send isn't functional for them yet. Plus, they don't have Google Pay installed. The roll out seems to be in the very initial phases at the moment, but that should change sooner than later. Via from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://ift.tt/2GipdAv via IFTTT
