BEIJING (AP) — China on Tuesday said it shouldn't be held responsible alone for solving the North Korean nuclear standoff, and accused other countries of shirking their responsibilities in the effort to reduce tensions.

Some 40 teachers attended the course organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross, and each educator will go back and instruct colleagues in their own schools on how to deal with a variety of violent incidents.

Ever wondered why weather forecasters give you a "feels like" temperature? Humidity can change how hot you actually feel. Your body uses sweat to cool itself off. However, on humid days, your body doesn't efficiently rid itself of sweat and heat, creating a higher risk of heat stroke.

In the decades before streaming-era rules and digital downloads inflated album sales, platinum certification was more difficult for artists to obtain.

When an artist achieved platinum status back then — selling a million or more physical copies of an album — it took a greater, more fervent effort from fans (driving to record stores, finding an album, handing over your hard-earned cash for it), but many acts reached platinum certification routinely nonetheless.

Yankees rookie phenom Aaron Judge has been one of the most compelling stories in baseball so far this season.

Standing 6-foot-7 and weighing 282 pounds, Judge is already the largest position player to ever take the field. He also already has the record for most home runs by a Yankees rookie and won the All-Star Game Home Run Derby in convincing fashion.

But beyond his imposing size, it’s his quick rise to success that is catching the eyes of baseball fans across the league. Читать дальше...

The fate of the red-hot tech stocks dominating the US stock market could rest in the hands of the Federal Reserve.

The so-called FAANG group — consisting of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google — has traded inversely to 10-year Treasury yields for the better part of the past decade, according to data compiled by Credit Suisse.

So if the Fed continues to raise interest rates as planned, those high-flying tech stocks are likely to come under pressure... Читать дальше...

Donald Trump, Jr., the president's eldest son, has always been the most detail-oriented, business-focused child, leaving the spotlight to his father and his sister, Ivanka.

"I know the entertainment stuff helps us," he told Forbes in 2006. "But somebody's got to stay here to remind everybody that we build buildings."

Today, Jr. is the one in charge of building those buildings, now leading The Trump Organization with his brother, Eric.

But his life hasn't been without drama... Читать дальше...

Federal Reserve officials are pretty proud of their plan to reduce their balance sheet following a sharp expansion during and after the Great Recession. 

Policymakers are especially excited they were able to announce the plan's contours without having markets totally freak out, like they did in 2013 when then-Chairman Ben Bernanke gave the first hint that the Fed would be ceasing its bond-buying program. Bond yields spiked sharply higher at the time in an event that became known as the taper-tantrum. Читать дальше...

The Marvel movie ends, and the credits start to roll. You see some people in your row start to gather their things and leave. Amateurs.

But not you. You stay in your seat, just like you have since you first saw "Iron Man" in 2008 and heard whispers of an extra scene after the credits. It seemed unlikely — why would anyone want to stay that long once the film is over? But you waited, and your patience was rewarded. Now you know not to leave the theater until every last name...

Judge announced his presence with authority early on. Judge seemingly had a big mountain to climb in the first round. But if there was any doubt, he erased them early with a 501-foot blast.

Home run No. 23 in the first round sent Judge to the second round. It turned out that Judge's toughest test came in the first round.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China hit back on Tuesday in unusually strong terms at repeated calls from the United States to put more pressure on North Korea, urging a halt to what it called the "China responsibility theory", and saying all parties needed to pull their weight.

U.S President Trump took a more conciliatory tone at a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday, but he has expressed some impatience that China, with its close economic and diplomatic ties to Pyongyang... Читать дальше...
