Beijing has set out to extend its domestic laws across international borders with a ban on selling some goods to the US that applies to companies both inside and outside China . The first use of new export control rules attempts to replicate the extraterritorial reach of US and European sanctions by covering Chinese products or goods with Chinese parts in them.

When her flight was canceled, Gabrielle G., a 27-year-old single parent, boarded a flight back home to Florida with her 18-month-old son. Traveling solo with a toddler is a daunting task—but in a now-viral video, Gabrielle shares how a slew of helpful strangers made the trip bearable, offering their seats and entertaining her son while her plane was stuck on the tarmac for hours. More of this, please, humanity! This bald eagle's new foster babyWhen a large, male bald eagle started guarding something on the ground at the World Bird Sanctuary in Missouri, keepers discovered that he had become fiercely protective over a rock. Thinking it was an egg, the eagle, named Murphy, began sitting on it, nudging it, and guarding it protectively (which is classic male eagle behavior, his keepers say, as they share equally in bird-raising and have a strong paternal instinct). Months later, an eagle chick was brought to the sanctuary after surviving a fall from its nest. When keepers put the baby bird and Murphy in the same enclosure, Murphy’s fatherly instincts kicked into high gear, feeding the baby himself. Now, Murphy has a baby of his very own.These hilarious animal interviewsIn a stunning feat of investigative journalism (lol), YouTuber Maya Higa started a series titled “Tiny Mic Interviews,” where she approaches animals at the ZooToYou Conservation Ambassadors with a tiny microphone and asks them the burning questions we all want to know, including “Can I please touch your snoot?” and “What’s your favorite thing about being a capybara?” Higa “translates” their answers into text on screen, and the results are adorable. BRB, watching this series all day. For more ways to smile, check out how Subaru is sharing the love this holiday season.

The beloved Christmas tale has a very unlikely origin.

Sick Puppies: Creature “We are all familiar with what it means to ‘take the bull by the horns,’ but to ‘wave the bull’ is a different take on approaching life’s most difficult times,” wrote the band (pictured above). “To wave the bull is to provoke, embrace, and surrender to the battles that will inevitably scar us — a battle cry. Antagonizing adversity, afraid of nothing,” Dorothy: I Come Alive “When I’m faced with the weight of the world and things feel like they’re at their worst, I try to pause and let the turbulent emotions pass,” shared Dorothy Martin. “”I try to take a good honest look at myself. I may have a bad day, week, or month…but then I get up and I face the fear and problems head on.” Shadows Fall: In The Grey  “‘In The Grey’ is a full-throttle thrasher that contains all of the elements that are the bedrock of the Shadows Fall sound but also adds new elements and approaches that developed in the recent past while we all explorer other musical avenues,” noted singer Brian Fair. Underoath: Generation No Surrender “We wanted to write a song that would be a ripper live — something that moves an entire room, something we can all get behind and relate to,” stated Underoath singer Spencer Chamberlain. “ ### The post New Music: Sick Puppies, Dorothy, Shadows Fall & Underoath appeared first on RockinTown.
