Production of Paper Mache Christmas Ornaments - India

Production of Paper Mache Christmas Ornaments - India

On December 18,2025 papier-mâché artists in Srinagar ,Jammu and Kashmir create Christmas decorations as the holiday season approaches. However, the industry faces fresh hurdles after the US increases import duties. Artisans fear that the higher tariffs will decrease demand for their products, particularly Christmas ornaments, which make up a large part of exports. Kashmir’s papier-mâché items are sent to markets in the US, Europe, Australia, and the UAE. Exporters warn that these higher costs could harm both sales and the livelihoods of local artisans.(Photo by Danish Showkat/Eyepix group)

Gouvernement Shutdown - Washington DC

Gouvernement Shutdown - Washington DC

The U.S. Capitol building is seen reflected in the window of a building in Washington, D.C., the United States, on October 5, 2025. As the U.S. federal government entered a shutdown -- the first time in nearly seven years -- the confrontation between President Donald Trump's administration and the Democratic Party has further escalated. The Trump administration has cut funding and programs in Democratic-led states and sought to dismantle federal agencies led by Democrats. Meanwhile, Democrats have shown a rare sense of unity, hoping to reverse declining approval ratings through the fight. This new round of partisan conflict over the government shutdown is markedly different from previous ones, characterized by greater hostility and malice that has pushed partisan strife to new heights. It highlights the deepening political polarization in the United States while inflicting greater harm on the American people. Photo by Li Rui/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

(240514) -- DONGCHUAN, May 14, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Researchers Li Xiaoyu (R) and Wei Li maintain experimental devices and collect data at the Jiangjiagou ravine in Dongchuan District of Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province, May 7, 2024. The Jiangjiagou ravine, located in the Xiaojiang River Basin, was a frequent landslide occurring area. In 1961, an observation and research station of debris flows, known as Dongchuan Station, was established in Jiangjiagou area. Since then, several generations of researchers have observed and studied debris flows, and established a comprehensive disaster reduction model of "stabilizing, blocking and draining", which has laid the foundation of debris flow science in China. A large-scale dynamic simulation experiment platform for mountain disaster was recently put into use in Dongchuan Station. The completion of this scientific device will reveal the natural law of debris flow outbreak, tackle the problems on prevention and control, and reduce the harm on human. (Xinhua

(240514) -- DONGCHUAN, May 14, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Researchers Song Dongri (C), Li Xiaoyu (R) and Wei Li check the preservation of samples at Dongchuan Station in Dongchuan District of Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province, May 7, 2024. The Jiangjiagou ravine, located in the Xiaojiang River Basin, was a frequent landslide occurring area. In 1961, an observation and research station of debris flows, known as Dongchuan Station, was established in Jiangjiagou area. Since then, several generations of researchers have observed and studied debris flows, and established a comprehensive disaster reduction model of "stabilizing, blocking and draining", which has laid the foundation of debris flow science in China. A large-scale dynamic simulation experiment platform for mountain disaster was recently put into use in Dongchuan Station. The completion of this scientific device will reveal the natural law of debris flow outbreak, tackle the problems on prevention and control, and reduce the harm on human. (Xinhua/
