Posted: 06 Dec 2018 09:21 AM PST

Losses on Wall Street deepen amid trade war worriesLosses on Wall Street deepened in late-morning trade on Thursday as the arrest of a key Chinese executive at the urging of the United States exacerbated trade war fears.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacks Congress over staff salaries and unpaid internshipsCongresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has admonished Congress for failing to pay interns and their congressional staffers an decent wage. Ms Ocasio-Cortez—a democratic socialist hailing from New York—tweeted that she visited a dive bar in Washington DC where she met with several bartenders, managers, and servers who were currently working for House or Senate offices, indicating that, as Capitol Hill staffers, they shouldn't't have to work a side gig to make ends meet. The 29-year-old lawmaker, who became the youngest women elected into Congress last month, said it was "unjust" for her fellow lawmakers to get paid a livable wage while depending on the aid of unpaid interns and overworked underpaid staffers.

Pantone's 2019 color of the year isn't just a pretty pink

Posted: 05 Dec 2018 05:13 PM PST

Pantone's 2019 color of the year isn't just a pretty pinkPantone announced its 2019 color of the year on Wednesday and it's "Living Coral." Following last year's activism-inspired "ultra violet" champion, this year's reigning color, Pantone 16-1546 or "Living Coral," is described as representative of both our changing social media-drenched environment and our physical one. SEE ALSO: Watching YouTubers use paint-by-numbers kits is wildly soothing On one hand, the color is described as signifying a need for support, caring, and love within an often negative social media landscape. "'Living Coral' embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment," reads the optimistic statement. "In reaction to the onslaught of digital technology and social media increasingly embedding into daily life, we are seeking authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy." On the other hand, with human-induced climate change a rather hot global topic, especially its potentially devastating effects on coral reefs, it's a fitting time for the color. "Living Coral emits the desired, familiar, and energizing aspects of color found in nature," reads Pantone's statement. "Lying at the center of our naturally vivid and chromatic ecosystem, Pantone Living Coral is evocative of how coral reefs provide shelter to a diverse kaleidoscope of color." Yes, it's a stunning color, often found in coral reefs. But with reefs threatened by ocean acidification and coral bleaching caused by human-induced climate change, their colorful existence is set to transform. When marine scientists intentionally pumped carbon dioxide-infused seawater across a patch of Australia's Great Barrier Reef to show just how screwed coral reefs really are, what colour appeared in the water? Looks close to "Living Coral" to us. Marine scientists distributed carbon dioxide-infused seawater across the Great Barrier Reef to simulate how acidic the oceans will likely be in the next few decades.Image: AARON TAKEO NINOKAWA  WATCH: Meet the man biking on water to save the planet — Mashable Originals
