The Chinese Malaysian artist Hong Yi first dipped the balls in paint and using some nifty footwork crafted portraits of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar. By moving the ball with her feet, Hong Yi was able to create different shades and patterns to paint the players' features. The giant paintings were laid out on a white canvas spread across an indoor football pitch.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Researchers have uncovered the exoskeleton of an insect in a piece of Baltic amber about 50 million years old, suggesting that the insect was frightened out of its skin as it was about to become forever entombed by oozing tree sap.

The findings, published in the recent issue of Fungal Biology by George Poinar, Jr., a researcher in the College of Science at Oregon State University (OSU) in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and an international expert in ancient life forms found in amber, also involved the first mushroom that has ever been found in Baltic amber.

"From what we can see in this fossil, a tiny mushroom was bitten off, probably by a rodent, at the base of a tree," Poinar said.

"An insect, similar to a walking stick, was probably also trying to feed on the mushroom. It appears to have immediately jumped out of its skin and escaped, just as tree sap flowed over the remaining exoskeleton and a hair left behind by the fleeing rodent."

Plants, insects and other material found in amber deposits offer details about ancient ecosystems, Poinar was quoted as saying by an OSU news release.

But on rare occasions such as this, as the amber came from near the Baltic Sea in what is now Germany, Poland, Russia and Scandinavia, they also show the interactions and ecology between different life forms and are invaluable in helping scientists to reconstruct the nature of ecosystems in the distant past.

The amber was formed, beginning as a viscous tree sap, in a large subtropical coniferous forest across much of northern Europe that lasted about 10 million years.

The exoskeleton seen in the amber is extremely fresh and shows filaments that would have disappeared if it had been shed very long before being covered by amber, Poinar said. The insect species is now extinct, as is the mushroom in the fossil.

In a climate much warmer than exists there today, the early angiosperms, or flowering plants, were starting to displace the gymnosperms, or cone-bearing evergreens that had previously been dominant.

"The tiny insect in this fossil was a phasmid, one of the kinds of insects that uses its shape to resemble sticks or leaves as a type of camouflage," Poinar said. "It would have shed its skin repeatedly before reaching adulthood, in a short lifespan of a couple months."

"In this case," he noted, "the ability to quickly get out of its skin, along with being smart enough to see a problem coming, saved its life."

BUDAPEST, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has vowed to bring cooperation between China and the 16 Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) and relations between China and Hungary to a higher level.

Li made the statement in an article published on the newspaper The Hungarian Times before attending the sixth meeting of heads of government of China and the CEEC on Nov. 26-29 in Budapest and paying an official visit to Hungary.

"This is an important meeting held at the fifth anniversary of the launching of China-CEEC cooperation (16+1 cooperation). I'm looking forward to the meeting and the visit," Li said.

Noting that Chinese President Xi Jinping announced in May the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries http://www.yeezyboosttilbud.com/adidas- … ilbud.html , Li said he is full of confidence about China-Hungary relations and the prospect of China-CEEC cooperation.

The premier recalled that the first China-CEEC economic and trade forum was held in Budapest in 2011 and, a year later, the 17 countries established a new trans-regional cooperation platform, called the 16+1 cooperation.

Over the five years http://www.yeezyboosttilbud.com/adidas- … ilbud.html , the 16+1 cooperation has been growing and the mechanism improving, bringing about remarkable progress to cooperation in all fields, Li said.

Political mutual trust between China and the CEEC countries has been deepened, with the two sides having established cooperation mechanisms in about 20 areas http://www.yeezyboosttilbud.com/adidas- … ilbud.html , he said.

Economic cooperation has been growing steadily, with bilateral trade increasing to 58.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2016 from 43.9 billion dollars in 2010 and the completion of a number of landmark infrastructure projects, said the premier.

People-to-people exchanges have been strengthened in the fields of education, culture Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Sort Lyserød Sko Tilbud , health, tourism, media, think tank Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Grå Orange Sko Tilbud , political party and youth, and at local levels, he said.

After a great start, the 16+1 cooperation demands a new direction and new momentum Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Rød Sko Tilbud , the premier said, adding that he will work with CEEC leaders to review what the two sides have achieved in the five years and draw a blueprint for the future.

On China-Hungary ties, Li said both countries are beneficiaries and supporters of economic globalization, and it is in line with the fundamental interes.
