China

in trade with China.
Editor's Note: Brazil, which is the world's biggest producer of
coffee, has been slapped with a 50% US import tax. It is one of the
highest tariffs imposed by Washington and risks making the world's
biggest economy less attractive for Brazilian exporters. It means that
China has now become 'a shining light' for Brazil's coffee exporters,

specialist Hugo Portes told the BBC.

Mice turning tiny steering wheels to move shapes on a screen have
helped scientists produce the first brain-wide map of decision-making

Sept. 3, an international team of 22 groups, co-led by three

than 600,000 neurons as mice performed a decision-making task. The
resulting dataset offers an unprecedented view of how distributed

most important and far-reaching of Trumps initiativesfrom his efforts
to reshape the global economy with tariffs and mobilize the military
to act as police in American cities to his refusal to spend billions
of dollars in congressionally appropriated funds. The President
continues to cite nonexistent emergencies to justify his executive
overreach and judges continue to call him out on it, issuing stern
rebukes in the tradition of Judge Beryl Howell, who, during a case
this spring about the firings of civil servants, observed that an
American President is not a kingnot even an elected one.

The trend of ditching traditional office space to work from living

given a taste of the freedom and flexibility, many workers grew
accustomed to that lifestyle. Working parents enjoyed being home when
children got off the school bus. Others found more time for exercise,
socializing and nature. But many large companies began calling workers
back into the office, making competition for remote jobs fierce. Many
jobs advertised as remote attract hundreds of applications. Workers
