Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a Professor of Psychology at Ritsumeikan University in Japan, is famous for his studies and work in optical illusions pictures.

His renowned works include Rotating Snakes peripheral drift illusion (the first picture). He said he likes every one of his works, but for most people, the “Rollers” (second picture) seem to be their favorite.

These pictures not only trigger illusions, but also make contributions to scientific research, for example, it helps to learn about how our eyes react to colors.

“This is very meaningful for science studies, although the public tend to consider the pictures as art works,” said Kitaoka.

China on Tuesday expressed "resolute opposition" to a US warship patrol in the South China Sea near Yongshu Jiao in the Nansha Islands.

The US warship, USS William P. Lawrence, illegally entered China's waters near the islands on Tuesday without the permission of the Chinese government, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said, adding that the warship was monitored, tracked and issued with a warning.

It is reported that Bill Urban, the spokesman for US Department of Defense, said the freedom of navigation operation was in direct challenge to "excessive maritime claims of some claimants in the South China Sea."

"The action by the US threatens China's sovereignty and security, endangers the safety of people and facilities on the reef, and harms regional peace and stability," Lu said.

"China strongly opposes such action by the US and will continue to take measures to safeguard our sovereignty and security," Lu said, adding China and other coastal states in the South China Sea have been working together to keep navigation and overflight free in the South China Sea for a long time. In fact, the freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea has never been a problem.

According to Lu, the United States introduced freedom of navigation operations in 1979 before the signing of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a treaty to which the United States is still not a party. The purpose of these recurring "patrols" is to disrupt the order of the seas and oceans without adhering to the UN convention.

The United States sends military vessels and aircraft on surveillance missions against China as simple acts of provocation, said Lu, adding that the United States actually considers itself above the UNCLOS and these activities are opposed by many countries.

Lu said that the flexing of US military muscle in the name of freedom of navigation is the biggest threat to peace and stability in the area.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama announced on Friday that he would lift some of the economic sanctions on Sudan, citing recent "positive actions" by the government of the African country.

In an executive order, Obama said that there has been "a marked reduction in offensive military activity, culminating in a pledge to maintain a cessation of hostilities in conflict areas in Sudan."

He also recognized the Sudanese government's steps toward the improvement of humanitarian access throughout the country, as well as cooperation with the United States on addressing regional conflicts and the threat of terrorism.

The executive order will take effect in six months provided that the positive actions are sustained over the period of time, Obama said in a letter to Congress.

In conjunction with the move, U.S. Treasury Department on Friday announced an amendment to the sanctions regimes against Sudan, allowing U.S. persons to do transactions with individuals and entities in Sudan, and unblocking the property of the government of Sudan subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

"Treasury's sanctions are aimed at encouraging a change in behavior, and in the case of Sudan, our sanctions were intended to pressure the Government of Sudan to change the way it treats its people," said Adam Szubin, Acting Under Secretary of the Treasury.

Friday's actions "recognize the positive steps taken by the Government of Sudan over the past several months and aim to further incentivize the Government of Sudan to continue to improve its conduct," Szubin added.

Despite Washington's easing of economic sanctions against Sudan, the African country remains on the U.S. blacklist of State Sponsors of Terrorism -- along with
