BRUSSELS, May 25 (Xinhua) -- European Council President Donald Tusk admitted on Thursday that the bloc is still at odds with the United States over issues like climate Cheap Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra All White , trade and Russia.

 

"My feeling is that we agreed on many areas. First and foremost, on counterterrorism... But some issues remain open, like climate and trade," Tusk told reports after meeting with visiting U.S. President Donald Trump.

 

"And I am not 100 percent sure that we can say today -- we meaning Mr. President Trump and myself -- that we have a common opinion about Russia, although when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, it seems that we were on the same line," he added.

 

Tusk said he told the billionaire U.S. president that they should consolidate "the whole free world around those values Cheap Men's Black Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Shoes , and not just interests."

 

"Values and principles first - this is what we, Europe and America, should be saying," said Tusk.

 

Trump, on his first overseas trip as U.S. president, on Thursday met with Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission Cheap Air Max Plus TN Ultra Men's Nike Cargo Khaki , both of whom have been critical of Trump's remarks in the past.

 

Later on Thursday, Trump and leaders of other NATO countries will meet for the first time to map out the future of the organization, and try to narrow their differences on its budget.

 

The U.S. President has had a fractious relationship with Europe since his candidacy, in which he publicly applauded the pro-Brexit campaign before and after the referendum which saw Britain decide to leave the European Union.

 

In January, as president-elect, he rattled many European allies by stating in an interview that NATO (North Atlantic Trade Alliance) was obsolete, and indirectly threatening allies to leave the pact if they did not boost defense spending.

 

Donald Trump's first trip abroad as president has already taken him to Saudi Arabia Cheap Men's Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Black Grey , Israel, the West Bank of the Palestinian territories, the Vatican before arriving in Brussels. His final leg of the journey will be in Sicily, Italy, where he will join a G7 summit in Taormina.

 

 

 

CHICAGO, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at the University ofMichigan (UM) recently found that activating the amygdala portionof the brain can intensify one's motivation to consume cocaine farbeyond ordinary drug levels.

 

"This would suggest that the amygdala plays a key role in drugaddiction," said Shelley Warlow Cheap Men's Nike Air Vapormax Plus Burgundy Red , a UM psychology graduate studentand the study's lead author.

 

Researchers implanted rats with a catheter that allowed them toearn doses of cocaine by poking their noses into small holes in thewall.

 

Whenever rats poke their nose into one particular hole to earnintravenous cocaine, a laser light would also painlessly activatethe neurons in the central amygdala at the same time.

 

Poking their nose into a different hole earned identicalcocaine, but never activated the amygdala.

 

When being able to freely choose between those two cocainerewards, rats focused only on the port that earned cocaine togetherwith amygdala-activating laser, consumed much more cocaine thanrats without amygdala activation, and avidly nibbled around thelaser-cocaine hole as though seeking more.

 

Rats with amygdala activation were also willing to work almostthree times harder for the cocaine, the study indicated.

 

Rats appeared to be indifferent to amygdala laser activation.The amygdala activation only intensified motivation when cocainewas present.

 

By contrast Cheap Men's Nike Air Vapormax Plus Navy Blue , when the researchers temporarily inactivated theamygdala using a painless drug infusion, rats completely stoppedresponding for cocaine altogether.

 

"Understanding brain areas and the mechanisms involved in thisintense motivation will be important in developing treatments foraddiction and other compulsive disorders," Warlow said. Enditem

 

PARIS, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Top-rated Asian player Kei Nishikori lost to Novak Djokovic in an unexpected easy way here on Saturday to grand the defending champion a final berth, while Canadian sensation Milos Raonic continued his stunning run by booking the other place.

 

Nishikori, who rose to a career high No. 6 to become the highest ranked Asian male of all time less than a month ago, was broken in as early as his second serve by Djokovic before losing 6-2 Cheap Men's Nike Air Vapormax Plus Cool Grey , 6-3 out of style.

 

"I was a little bit tired," said the 24-year-old, who went to bed at about 4 o'clock on Saturday morning after a long, late quarterfinal clash against Spaniard David Ferrer.

 

"My body wasn't 100% ready for today's match since I had three tough matches before the semifinal against Novak," he said. "But still, it's really tough to play against him. He doesn't miss, and at the same time Cheap Men's Nike Air VaporMax Plus Triple White , he's very consistency on the baseline."

 

"It was obvious that Kei's fatigous, maybe because he finished late last night, or has a little injury. He didn't serve as well as he can," commented Djokovic.

 

"Other than that, I think he played very well from back of the court," he said. "But I served exceptionally well when it was important, and that allowed me to have a lot of free points and to put more pressure on his service games."

 

Earlier on Saturday Cheap Men's Nike Air Vapormax Plus Black Red , Canada's 23-year-old Raonic reached his second Masters final by upsetting another big name Tomas Berdych just one day after stunning world No. 2 Roger Federer out of the Paris Masters in Friday's quarterfinals.
