President Donald Trump is expected to take action against North Korea after their most recent threats and nuclear test, which they were warned against doing. The good thing for the world is that the test turned out to be a dud for North Korea, as they attempted to get it going on Sunday morning and were not able to get it off the ground. Despite this, they were warned against it and even their biggest economic partner in China is pushing against them and wants to denuclearize North Korea.
According to National Security Adviser to the President, H.R. McMaster, Trump is expected to take action. He spoke with ABC's This Week on Sunday, telling them the following regarding the situation.
McMaster was not open to disclosing any other details considering the nature of the subject. He claimed that Trump does not like to announce what he is going to do before he actually does it. This, of course, makes sense, especially when discussing plans to "deal" with North Korea and take action against them over everything. Trump has been sure to tweet about relations with North Korea, however. One post sticks out above most, where Trump said this.
Trump is running into an issue with this, however. While China has been seemingly very helpful as of late to help stop North Korea before they go too far, it may not be enough. As of now, China has blocked all flights to North Korea from their nation via Air China air system. They also stopped sending coal over to North Korea, which helps them with numerous things.
There is a theory that China may go as far as pulling out completely from North Korea, causing them to lose their top economic partner. This is something North Korea truly cannot take from a financial standpoint. China has enjoyed having North Korea as a buffer of sorts, as it allows China to be away from Western influence right near their country. South Korea obviously benefits greatly from partnering with the United States, and they have been armed big time over the years.
China knows if by chance the United States wanted to remove North Korea from existence, South Korea would take it over to unite it under one big Korea that is democratic similar to the U.S. This is a big deal, as the United States would still most likely want to remain partners with South Korea as they would be close to China by that point, and being close to them is useful for various reasons. Either way, China wants to avoid that at all costs.
At the same time, McMaster knows enough about North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un. He called him "unpredictable," which is very true going off how he has led since his father passed. McMaster explained that right now, the United States plans to rely on close allies as well as China. This may be the best thing for them, as China currently deals with 80 percent of all North Korea's trade material. Without China to trade with, North Korea would be economically dead quick.
It may be best to rely on this for now, as it will eventually begin to hurt them in the end. North Korea, again, is not the most predictable nation due to their leader. However, one does have to wonder if Kim Jong-Un understands the punishments for which his nuclear weapons will have him take on. Whether it is terrible economic turmoil, or someone nuking them, it is not something North Korea wants to take on. It'll be interesting to see what they decide in the coming days ahead.

Ember Real Results is part of the Ember Group, based in Trafalgar Square in London. We are an international learning consultancy with over 14 years' experience globally, so with this in mind you will need to be comfortable working not only in the UK but also internationally when required, time away can vary on the need of our clients but it is normally just a few days at a time.
This role will involve working with our clients developing their people's capabilities through various learning interventions. We firmly believe in experiential learning that is fun for our learners, so it is important that you have a creative approach to learning whilst ensuring your solutions are results focused.
We work with such a fantastic range of clients across various sectors from Retail to Travel, Hospitality to Utility Providers and Government Sectors to Financial Services.

Work in a team to produce award-winning programmes that hit the mark for various levels of employees e.g. Contact Centre Managers, Senior Leaders and Team Managers; as well as front line employees of all ages.
Develop effective programmes that inspire, motivate and change behaviours for lasting results.
Keep up to date with industry developments by reading blogs, attending events, joining webinars etc.
Contribute to the team's thought leadership in the world of modern L&D.
Experienced in conducting coaching sessions is must – We are looking for someone who is able to coach from front line to senior exec/ director level.
Learning and development is typically a 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday world.

As a consultancy business we sometimes need to meet tight deadlines and pull out all the stops, so as a team we all chip in to make things happen so we can deliver outstanding solutions for our clients, this means that flexibility in your working hours is essential.


A payment gateway is used to validate the credit card details of a customer in a secure manner. It is considered the equivalent of a point of sale terminal in a brick and mortar store, except that it's for online transactions. The gateway will pass the customer's financial information from the Internet to the banking network. It will then confirm whether the charge has been approved and convey that information back to the merchant's website, and submit the charge for settlement if appropriate, at which point the payment is deduced from the buyer's account into the merchant's.
It's important to note that a payment gateway is different from a merchant account. If you plan on selling through the Internet using credit cards, you will need both. The gateway is there to enable you to approve or decline a transaction, while a merchant account stores all the money received from a transaction, before it is deposited into your business' bank account. Both a merchant account and a gateway will normally be provided by your merchant account provider.
There are several factors to take into consideration when choosing a payment gateway or a full service payment provider. First, you may want to consider the timeline. Some merchant account providers provide instant approval, whereas other providers typically take 3 to 4 weeks to set everything up.
Cost is another consideration. It is standard to charge around $600 to $900 for setup, but if you shop around, you can find a provider that has no setup fees.
Next, you may want to take into consideration the amount of time it takes for a gateway to deliver your funds. Timing can vary between different providers. Some gateways may hold onto the funds, or a percentage, for up to 30 days, while others pay out at regular intervals, such as once a week. The gold standard is to find an account that typically settles within 3 days after each transaction.
Another major concern is security. A good gateway will be level 1 compliant with the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). Gateways can come with many other security features such as tokenization, fraud protection and screening tools, and others. Be sure it offers good encryption. Military-grade is ideal.
You'll also probably want to look at the gateway's support service, which can help make your experience much better. Ideally, it should offer 24/7/365 live customer support.
Finally, if you plan to do business with international clients, then it's a good idea to make sure that your gateway accepts international and multi-currency payments.
For more information about payment gateways and how to find the best one suited for your business, or to open a merchant account, please call (888) 924-2743 or go to Charge.com.


Scientists predict the number of people suffering from a little-understood type of Lyme disease could spike to almost 2 million in 2020.
The most common vector-borne illness in the U.S., Lyme disease is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, which is spread by infected ticks. Sufferers can have a fever, headache, chills, fatigue, joint and muscle ache and swollen lymph nodes. In many cases, patients experience an erythema migrans rash that can grow up to 12 inches around the area of the tick bite. Around 329,000 cases are thought to occur each year, although the true number of infections is thought to be higher.
In most cases, doctors prescribe antibiotics and the symptoms pass. However, for others the symptoms can linger in what is known as post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLD) or post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. The condition is characterized by cognitive dysfunction, incapacitating fatigue and chronic pain, according to the authors of a study published in the journal BMC Public Health.
The condition is poorly understood; there is no set diagnosis for it, and treatment is controversial, the authors wrote. The cause is unknown—some believe the bug can disrupt the immune system—and it can take months to recover. Past estimates suggest treatments fail in between 10 and 20 percent of cases, which could cost the U.S. economy up to $1 billion per year.
"Although antibiotic therapy cures most LD patients, a significant proportion of patients continue to suffer persisting symptoms that can derail normal life," the researchers wrote.
It can therefore be tough to find accurate data on the prevalence of PTLD, and diagnosis can involve ruling out other health problems.
For their study, the scientists drew on several pools of data to create a model to estimate the number of PTLD cases that occurred between 2016 and 2020. That included data collected by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as past estimates of Lyme disease rates, survival rates and examples of treatments failing.
A conservative estimate made by the researchers suggested that 69,011 cases of PTLD occurred in 2016, which will rise to 81,509 cases in 2020. In another model, the researchers accounted for cases rising from the 1980s, combined with treatment failing in 20 percent of cases. The result was 1,523,869 cases in 2016 and 1,944,189 forecast for 2020.
The authors acknowledged that it remains unclear which is the most accurate estimation.
"Nevertheless, our findings suggest that there are large numbers of patients living with LD-related chronic illness," they wrote. Further research is now needed to create tests to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, raise public awareness and arrive at a conclusive figure on the number of sufferers.
While ticks carrying the Lyme disease–causing bacteria can strike at any time of the year, April through September is the riskiest period. The CDC advises avoiding grassy, brushy or wooded areas where ticks can live and treating clothing with 0.5 percent permethrin products and Environmental Protection Agency–approved insect repellents before going into areas where the bugs might lurk.
The inaugural Lyme Gala 2018 was a moving evening, filled with touching stories and hope for a future without Lyme disease.
The event was a rousing success and we are thrilled to share we raised approximately $1.5 million! The proceeds from the gala benefit both Project Lyme and Bay Area Lyme Foundation's critical education, awareness, science and research to end the Lyme disease epidemic!
Thank you to our honoree, Bill Ford, keynote speaker, Dr. Neil Spector, singer/songwriter, Dana Parish, The Janes, and the tireless efforts of our co-chairs, gala committee, advisory members, Board of Directors and everyone who attended this special night.
There is lots of exciting work ahead! We are excited to keep you updated regarding our upcoming plans, accomplishments and the impact your gala gift is making in the fight against Lyme. Until then, thank you so much to those who made Lyme Gala 2018 a success.
You can learn more about how to stay safe from, or what do if you think you may have, Lyme disease at Project Lyme at www.projectlyme.org and Bay Area Lyme Foundation at https://www.bayarealyme.org/.
"The Tick-Borne Disease Working Group, a federal advisory committee established by Congress in the 21st Century Cures Act, issued its first report today. The report recommends a multi-pronged response to address these diseases that affect more than 300,000 Americans each year.
Improve early and accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Understand immunological mechanism (for example, pathogen-host interaction) of immune protection for Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.
Develop new rapid and accurate lab tests.
Develop antibiotic combination and/or therapeutic options for treating acute and persistent illness.
Encourage the development of strategic plans for tick-borne disease federal investments.
Dedicate funding to tick-borne diseases and evaluate related activities using performance indicators and clear metrics for success.
"Gabriel Vilchez, the infectious-disease specialist in training, reviewed the chart and examined the patient. He thought that the patient most likely had a tick-borne infection. The hospital had sent off blood to test for the usual suspects in the Northeast: Lyme, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis. Except for the Lyme test, which was negative, none of the results had come back yet. Vilchez considered that given the patient's symptoms — and his response to the doxycycline — it would turn out that he'd have one of them.
The foreign and invasive longhorned tick turned up on a sheep in New Jersey last fall.
The blacklegged tick, which transmits Lyme disease, was identified for the first time in 76 counties in 24 states, a new study by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation found.
Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease cases in Pennsylvania are soaring. From 2000-2016, the total confirmed Lyme Disease cases have reached more than 83,000. According to the tick testing site TickCheck.com, the CDC's data only represents confirmed cases, therefore it is very probable that the actual quantity of Lyme Disease cases may be closer to more than 764,000 true cases in Pennsylvania.
How can you prevent a tick bite? Start by looking right in your own backyard. Flora Posteraro has the story.
A Westchester mom said United refused to allow her to board a flight with a carry-on bag full of medical supplies for her chronically ill 22-year-old daughter — and even warned her not to "mess" with the flight crew.
Jill Levy-Fisch of Tarrytown said she and her daughter Sara, who suffers from a host of medical problems, were scheduled to fly from Newark to Halifax in Canada for vacation on June 28.
"Sara suffers from a severe illness that requires constant access to her medications, many administered through her chest port that must be temperature controlled," she told The Post.
"The bag has a tag clearly indicating medical equipment," said Levy-Fisch, 54, adding that her family has flown the route often with United, whose flight attendants have always allowed her to stow the bag in a closet.
Levy-Fisch said she had called the United disabilities line and was assured that the medical equipment could not be banned from the cabin.
But she said a gate agent insisted that the bag be checked in for the baggage hold — telling her that she had to remove any medications she needed from the bag if she wanted to bring them into the cabin.
"We were shocked, upset and brought to tears. He said we couldn't bring the medical bag on the plane," Levy-Fisch said, adding that she had to board without her daughter because some medications were already in Canada and she needed to pick them up from where they were being stored.
Among other ailments, Sara suffers from autoimmune encephalitis, Lyme disease and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, a condition in which too little blood returns to the heart while standing up, Levy-Fisch said.
Sara's carry-on bag contained 30 vials of IV medications, an IV pump, bags of saline, various medications, syringes, a glucose monitor and a sleep apnea device, the mom said.
"She left in tears. This was to be a fun family vacation and she didn't deserve the treatment she received," Levy-Fisch said of Sara, who ended up taking a Delta flight the next day.
"Once I boarded the plane, I sat quietly crying," she added. "The flight attendant approached me to say the pilot wanted to know if I planned to 'behave' on the flight.
Levy-Fisch said she messaged United through Facebook prior to takeoff and was asked to get the flight attendant's name — no easy task, she said, because he apparently hid his name badge.
Eventually, he relented and gave her his first name — Carlos, she said.
United spokeswoman Maddie King blamed the debacle on the size of the regional aircraft, which she said has smaller overhead bins that can't fit larger bags.
"Because of this, there was no space onboard the aircraft to stow this customer's bag, and it would only fit checked underneath the aircraft," King told The Post.
King added: "We reached out to apologize to our customer for this experience, and we refunded her ticket for the flight as a gesture of goodwill," she said.


I tried to access api, but it shows 500 internal server error. So possibly something issues on api side.
Due to the lack of interest from our users who prefer to add the maps and pins directly on our Site, the API is no longer available. The cost of maintaining it did not make sense any more.
We might bring it back in the future.


The more I think about this novel the more conflicted I become. My full review is on Goodreads.
YA readers have been raving about Daughter of Shadow and Bone and its sequels, so I wanted to see what the fuss was about. And I'm conflicted. Still.
Here's the problem: I don't really like romance. I do like adventure stories! I like friends and conflict and angst and love as much as anyone, but I don't like romance as a genre. This is an extremely fine line, and probably not one I can accurately describe, but I like action where people fall in love on the way. I do not like stories where the story is people in love.
So, I was not fated to adore Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which is a fantasy/romance. Roughly one third of the novel is backstory, and it's all cuddly-wuddly I'll give up the world for you, I'll do anything for you, you are the perfect one for meeeeeeee romance. Of the two-thirds that are left, roughly half of that is a slightly different flavor of the same romance. The rest is really good, really beautiful fantasy.
And so I'm conflicted. When I first read the novel I was so struck by the beauty of the writing that I was willing to forgive it anything. But I was undecided on the romance after I read it, and time has only made it worse. Do I want to read more? It's certainly pretty. There was an amazing cliffhanger. But if I'm on the fence about the romance, I'm probably not going to change my mind later.
But ohhhh goodness the author writes beautifully.

Rick Dahl Lake Charles Mentor
I've written for many of the major studios and networks. My first movie, "Red Rock West," was nominated for Best Screenplay by the Independent Spirit Awards.
I think this program is fantastic. I get to spend an hour a week, one-on-one with my students. We read over their material carefully. It affords me the opportunity to dig deep and get into the details of screenwriting – a deceptively complicated craft. We can cover various aspects of formatting, different styles of writing and how they impact the reader – which ultimately determines the filmic outcome and audience sees on screen.
The time allows me to get know my students so that I'm able to help them put some part of themselves into their stories.
Once you get past the basics, screenwriting is about story. And we all have one to tell. The more personal that is, the more impact it will have.
The terrific thing I get to experience with Film Connection, because of the one-on-one time I have with my students, is the growth they achieve in their writing

David Bruce: THE COOLEST PEOPLE IN ART — Performance Art
• In 1975, body artist Chris Burden announced that he would perform a new work of art at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. The work of art consisted mainly of his lying down on the floor beneath a large sheet of plate glass near which was a clock. Previously, he had earned his master's degree at the University of California at Irvine by staying for five days in a locker. In the locker with him was a 5-gallon jug of water, and — for obvious reasons — a 5-gallon jug that started out empty. Students heard about the piece and talked to him through the locker's grillwork. This pleased Mr. Burden, who says, "I was a box with ears and a voice." At the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Mr. Burden lay still for many hours. The officials of the museum were worried about him and whether the work of art would result in permanent damage to his body — after all, he was not eating or drinking, not even taking a sip of water. Finally, after 45 hours, they placed a pitcher of water by him. Immediately, Mr. Burden got up, went to the bathroom, returned with a hammer, and smashed the clock, officially ending the work of art. He also had a sealed envelope that contained a note that explained that the work of art had three pieces: himself, the piece of glass, and the clock. The note also stated that the work of art would end whenever the museum officials acted on any of the three pieces. By bringing the pitcher of water to him, they had ended the work of art, which, by the way, was titled "Doomed." "I thought perhaps the piece would last several hours," Mr. Burden says. "I thought maybe they'd come up and say, 'Okay, Chris, it's 2 a.m. and everybody's gone home and the guards are on overtime and we have to close up.' That would have ended the piece, and I would have broken the clock, recording the elapsed time. On the first night, when I realized they weren't going to stop the piece, I was pleased and impressed that they had placed the integrity of the piece ahead of the institutional requirements of the museum. On the second night, I thought, 'My God, don't they care anything at all about me? Are they going to leave me here to die?'"
• Being a performance artist is like having a license to be creative and have fun. For example, Ohio University School of Art graduate students Nate Lareau and Marin Abell saw 2,400 ping-pong balls for sale on eBay. They immediately bought them for $80, then set about finding ways to make use of them. One thing they did was to put them in a dryer (on the tumble with no-heat setting) at a coin-operated laundry (with permission). According to Mr. Lareau, "That was a good one. The ping-pong balls in the dryer created quite a racket. They sounded like a hailstorm, and looked a little like a weather system." Another thing they did was to simply pour the ping-pong balls onto a street on a hill. The street was lined with bricks, and the sound the balls created as they bounced down the hill was interesting — like rain hitting a roof. Finally, Mr. Abell and a friend took the balls and a ping-pong-ball shooter and played a game where Mr. Abell tied 10 tennis rackets to his body and tried to hit the ping-pong balls being shot at him. Mr. Abell said he actually got very good at hitting the balls. Mr. Lareauand Mr. Abell still have the ping-pong balls, and the balls may yet appear in future pieces of performance art they create.
• In 1968, on the streets of Munich, Viennese performance artist Valie Export engaged in what she called "Touch Cinema." She cut out holes in a box so that she could wear it around her torso: one hole was for her head, two holes were for her arms, and two holes were cut in front. Inside the box were her bare breasts, which were hidden by the box and by a cloth that covered the opening in the box in front of her breasts. She told passersby, "This box is the cinema hall. My body is the screen. But this cinema hall is not for looking — it is for touching." She would then invite passersby to put their hands through the holes in front and touch her for 13 seconds. Some people took her up on the offer, and one thing that she noticed about the men was that they always looked her in the eyes as they touched her.

Brno, Jun 30 (BD) – On Monday morning, HZS JMK were dispatched to an apartment fire in Zabovresky. Eighteen people had to be rescued from the apartment building, including one child, as well as a cat and a dog. The apartment was on the first floor of a four-storey building.

According to HZS JMK, the entire building was full of smoke when they arrived, and one room was on fire. The suspected cause of the fire was a technical fault with the electrics.
Ten people were rescued via the stairs, while the other eight, who were hiding from the smoke on their balconies, had to be rescued via an external ladder. The cat, which was rescued from the burning apartment, had stopped breathing and needed to be resuscitated via oxygen therapy, regaining consciousness after a few minutes.

The Anapurna RTR3200i LED is a heavy-duty 3.2 meter-wide roll-to-roll UV LED-inkjet printer. It prints top-quality indoor and outdoor banners and billboards at speeds up to 127 m²/hr.
Your day-to-day roll-to-roll sign & display jobs? Hand them over to your very solid Anapurna RTR3200i LED. This dedicated roll-to-roll UV LED-curable printer, which comes in a six color and a four color plus white version, handles a broad scope of flexible media for indoor and outdoor applications. As the Anapurna RTR3200i LED is equipped with UV LED lamps, it enables you to print on a wide media mix and to save energy, costs and time.
The four color plus white version stands out by its ability to print white in different modes, improving the opacity of the printed material as well as increasing color contrast and readability.
The Anapurna RTR3200i LED can also handle dual-roll printing. This option enables you to double your productivity when printing on smaller media—whether it is paper, vinyl or polyester.
Incorporating the latest generation of fast-firing KM 1024i print heads, the Anapurna RTR3200i LED offers a high throughput while also achieving a high level of print quality. You will be able to maintain a high production on all substrates, satisfying your most demanding customers.
Thanks to a reinforced belt drive and shuttle beam, the Anapurna RTR3200i LED printer brings a highly accurate dot positioning and thus excellent image quality, which is further enhanced by the gradient and multi-layer functionality. The eight 12 picolitre heads guarantee printing of good solids, fine text reproduction of up to 4 pt, good tonal rendering and low ink consumption.
The Anapurna RTR3200i LED is fitted with air-cooled 16 Watt/cm² UV LED lamps, which results in a number of unique advantages related to generating extra business, cost savings and environmental friendliness. These include a wider applications scope, higher productivity and less power consumption.
Media loading is smooth and accurate thanks to automated features such as media-tension rollers (which keep media stretched at all times) and head height adjustment. The automatically controlled vacuum system, consisting of four zones, delivers an equal vacuum during the printing process. This ensures flawless media transport, giving accurate print results at all times. Switch on the zone you need in case of small roll printing. In case of dual-roll printing, each roll gets the right vacuum applied.
The Anapurna RTR3200i LED plus white operates with Agfa Graphics' latest generation of white inks, which are highly opaque. This means you obtain a qualitative white output with low ink consumption on colored or dark substrates, as well as on transparent material for backlit or backlit/frontlit applications. Alternatively, you can use white simply as a spot color. Also, the Anapurna RTR3200i LED plus white has the possibility to run pre- and/or post-white concurrently in one production run, greatly expanding application possibilities.
Print heads can be divided in several parts, and each part can be assigned to a different or identical image, to be used for single-run high density. This means that the Anapurna RTR3200i LED allows printing companies to print up to three layers at once, in perfect registration, in one pass. Images come alive. Backlit prints are enhanced when using high-density white on one or more layers.
The dual-roll option makes it possible to install two 60 inch rolls next to each other to run two jobs at the same time. This enables you to use the printer efficiently on smaller media.
The mesh option allows for printing on mesh without liner, which represents an important cost benefit and broadens the printer's application scope.
A specially designed trolley to handle heavy rolls up to 150 kg will save you a lot of trouble. Installing these heavy rolls can now be done smoothly.
Agfa Graphics' large gamut of inks enables printing on a broad range of flexible materials, including top such as fabric, canvas, self-adhesive vinyl, plastic film, paper and polyester including 100% PE eco-friendly material. The Anapurna RTR3200i LED has an excellent track record with outdoor applications such as billboards and building wraps.

Admit it, everything needs to be cleaned out once in a while?! Well, this is certainly true for your roof gutters! Here are some easy tips on cleaning your gutters safely!
For some of the harsh weather kicked in, with all its heavy rains and occasional snow. Gutters are not the least in a list to take care of, because with all the excessive snow and abundant leaves falling, the gutters can easily get cluttered. Often, we don't think about gutters, until it is late and they are clogged with autumn chaos. The first thing you will need to do is to get equipped with the necessary items: ladder, a gutter cleaning rake on a long pole (can be substituted by a wire hanger), if the roof is not wet, some might consider using leaf blower as an alternative. It is also a good idea to have someone secure your ladder, while you clean the gutters.
Now, to start cleaning the gutter, you will need to attach the ladder and get it secured, then using whatever you have chosen for you equipment and start exploring what is there clogging your roof gutters. The long pole would be very effective to check the gutters from the inside, thoroughly. The best way to discover how clean is your gutter is to pour some water, let it stream through the gutter. So, now your clean gutter waiting for some rain to prove its worth!

EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler speaks March 20, 2019, at the Woodrow Wilson Center.

EPA Chief Wheeler Recuses Himself From Pebble Mine Decision (1)
By Stephen Lee (Bloomberg Environment) and Jennifer A. Dlouhy (Bloomberg)
March 25, 2019, 7:00 PM; Updated: March 25, 2019, 9:19 PM
Andrew Wheeler formally removes himself from decision making on proposed Alaska facility
Decision comes as a disappointment to mine's supporters, who wanted Wheeler to lift an Obama-era restriction
EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler has formally recused himself from the ongoing Pebble Mine permitting process, according to an agency letter dated March 20 and obtained by Bloomberg Environment.
Wheeler's decision comes as a disappointment to backers of the planned gold, copper, and molybdenum deposit, who hoped he would intervene to lift Obama-era Clean Water Act restrictions on the Alaska mine's construction.
The Environmental Protection Agency could still attempt to lift the restrictions. Wheeler has delegated Pebble issues to EPA General Counsel Matthew Z. Leopold.
In his internal memo to EPA staff, Wheeler indicated that he formerly worked as a lobbyist for law firm Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, which has provided services to Pebble.
Though Wheeler said he "did not personally provide any such services" to Pebble, he nevertheless included the mine as an "additional voluntary recusal" to avoid the appearance of ethical concerns. Wheeler also stressed that he has no financial conflicts of interest.
Wheeler didn't include Pebble Mine or the Pebble Limited Partnership—the company seeking to develop the project—in a previous statement listing former clients and issues he is avoiding.
EPA Action Still Possible
The 2014 proposed restrictions sharply limit the mine's water pollution, making a Clean Water Act permit harder to obtain. The restrictions were issued before Pebble submitted a mine plan or applied for a permit.
But the restrictions were never finalized and legally can't be until 2021, thanks to a court settlement the EPA reached with Pebble Mine in May 2017. Until then, the EPA has agreed not to impose more permanent restrictions under section 404(c) of the Clean Water Act, which addresses the dumping of dredged or fill material.
The Pebble Limited Partnership said its new mine plan is significantly different from the one the EPA sought to block in 2014, and therefore the restrictions should be lifted.
Pebble Mine is now going through a draft environmental impact statement with the Army Corps of Engineers. On March 20, the Corps said it hadn't heard any "compelling" reasons to extend the comment period beyond 90 days, frustrating environmentalists and some Alaska natives, who have asked for more time.
The Corps is holding nine meetings for members of the public to comment on the draft EIS. The first one takes place March 25 in Naknek, Alaska, with more to follow on each of the next four days.
Long Chain of Events
Wheeler's recusal is the latest in a head-snapping sequence of EPA decisions under President Donald Trump. In May 2017, former EPA chief Scott Pruitt moved to lift the Obama-era proposed water limits. But eight months later, Pruitt made a surprise decision to leave the restrictions in place.
Shortly before leaving office, however, Pruitt directed agency staff in a memo to consider stripping themselves of the power to veto projects under the Clean Water Act.
Pebble and its supporters have been calling on the EPA for months to abandon the veto.
Future EPA chiefs, or even regional administrators, could follow Pruitt's lead and pre-emptively turn any state or private land "into a national park," taking it off the table for development, Tom Collier, chief executive officer of the Pebble Limited Partnership, told reporters last June.
"I'm riled up about the precedent, but what drives me even more crazy is why this administration, which talks about federal overreach, would in January recognize the use of a pre-emptive veto," Collier said. "That's what Scott Pruitt did."
In September 2018, a coalition of business groups, including Americans for Tax Reform, Americans for Prosperity, and Competitive Enterprise Institute, sent a letter to the EPA, urging it to strike down the 2014 proposed determination.
The proposed limits "would have a dramatic chilling effect on investment in America" and would block the creation of 2,000 jobs, the groups said.
They also alleged that it was "based on incomplete, shoddy analysis, and agency collusion with liberal environmental activists and other project opponents."

I first heard "Chemicals" by Various Cruelties on NME Radio. I wrote it down on a piece of paper as a reminder to check out more of their music. Unfortunately, nothing came up on iTunes. Few months passed by, then I heard their song "If It Wasn't For You" used on a commercial. The song was so memorable and lovely that I Shazaamed it. Luckily, by this time, Various Cruelties' music was on iTunes, so we bought the digital album. It's been a while since I've heard a good band with a solid album. This band is definitely one of them. All the songs are really good, and I've listened to many of them on repeat, helping me get through this winter. Not only that, they stopped by the Bootleg Bar in LA to play a show earlier this week. Their live performance did not disappoint either. It's the best feeling to hear and see songs you love played live. My favorite song by them is "Magnetic Field". Can't stop listening to them.

2004: Mourners fill church in tribute to popular priest
Hundreds of mourners packed into Kingston church to say their final farewells to a popular parish priest.
The Rev Robert Watton died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 59 just months after taking early retirement.
His eldest daughter Hannah, 20, said: "The church was full and people were standing out in the rain. We were really happy lots of people came as it makes you realise how much of an effect he had."
Mr Watton spent 13 years as rector of the Parishes of the Purbeck Hills and was chairman of governors for St George's First School at Langton Matravers. Up to 100 paintings by the school's children, aged two to eight, were placed on display inside St James's Church for his funeral. He retired for health reasons in October 2003 and at his new home near Exeter he had been enjoying walks on Dartmoor.
Churchwarden Don Pratt, who worked with Mr Watton for 11 years, said: "The news came as a shock, especially as Robert had been enjoying his retirement. Everyone was saddened and all send their condolences to Robert's family, including his daughters Hannah, Jess, Susie and grandson Joshua. Robert was a faithful priest and touched the hearts of many by his care and ministry at baptisms, weddings and funerals. He will be long remembered in the villages, and with tourists through the popular summer services he developed at St Aldhelm's Chapel."
His funeral service was conducted by long-standing friends Canon Humphry York and Father Kenneth Noakes.

Home Sun & Moon Eclipses February 10–11, 2017 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
February 10–11, 2017 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Eclipse InformationEclipse Map3D Globe Map
February's Full Moon, the Snow Moon, on February 10/11 will grow a little darker from 22:34:14 UTC until 02:53:25 UTC when Earth casts a shadow, the penumbra, on the Moon.
This penumbral lunar eclipse is visible in most populated areas on Earth, including most of North and South America, Europe, Africa, and most of Asia.

It is often difficult to tell the difference between a penumbral eclipse and a regular Full Moon. However, this eclipse is easier to spot than an average penumbral eclipse because the Moon travels through the darkest areas of Earth's penumbra, only just missing the umbra, the shadow's dark core. As a result, the Moon looks considerably darker on one side, making the shadow visible to the naked eye – weather permitting.
Penumbral lunar eclipses are generally less spectacular than total lunar eclipses, also known as Blood Moons.
Regions seeing, at least, some parts of the eclipse: Europe, Much of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Arctic, Antarctica.

China recently built a solar highway in the city of Jinan. The Jinan South Ring Expressway, developed by the Qilu Transportation Development Group, is comprised of three layers: insulation, photovoltaic panels, and translucent concrete. "The top layer has good flexibility, which can both withstand the pressure of large vehicles and protect the fragile amorphous silicon boards underneath," said Tongji University engineering expert Zhang Hongchao.
According to Zhang, the road is capable of generating one million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which is enough to power 800 households. The road is relatively pricey compared to typical asphalt roads, though, at roughly $42.50 per square foot. However, the higher price may pale in comparison to the possible monetary and energy savings resulting from such roads, especially on larger scales.
The panels are designed to power lights, surveillance cameras, etc. in surrounding towns, with surplus power supplied to the grid. Engineers are also hopeful that the road, which surrounds the capital, will be used to wirelessly charge electric vehicles traveling along the road and melt snow in order to provide safer driving conditions during winter.
The solar expressway opened on December 28th after successful testing. Developers have described it as "another major breakthrough in the field of photovoltaic pavements." The driver who tested the road stated that there was no difference between the solar expressway and an ordinary highway. "I'm running at the speed of over 100 kilometres per hour," he said, adding that "the braking distance is almost the same as well."
Xu Chunfu, chairman of the board at Qilu Transportation Development Group, said, "This is a massive integration involving different sectors. I think it's a forward-looking development and a groundbreaking revolution."
The excitement surrounding the solar road was short-lived, however, as one of the panels was stolen a mere five days after the road was opened. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that seven surrounding panels and a nearby fence were damaged in the process. Unfortunately, the road was closed down due to the damage.
According to Xu Dehao, a construction worker at Shandong Pavenergy, the damage was most likely done by a professional team, as parts of the road appeared to be "corroded by liquid."
Workers involved with the project have voiced suspicions that the thieves may have stolen the panel in an attempt to duplicate the technology, as the materials themselves were fairly inexpensive. However, others have argued that the situation is being blown out of proportion. A Qilu employee, who has remained anonymous, stated that the situation was not as bad as the media portrays it to be. "In fact, only a small strip of the road was damaged. We are still not sure if it is stolen. The police are investigating."

So the disagreement here is not about the two instruments for central banks – in fact in the monetary policy community there is a strong degree of agreement regarding these two roles. The disagreement stems from who should be in charge of the instruments – should we have one authority controlling both, or separate authorities.
This is a fascinating issue, and I have previously said I am on the side of SEPARATING.
My reasoning is that separating "monetary" and "financial stability" issues is essential in order to create transperancy in the public regarding policy movements. If we can make sure that changes in the Bank's cash rate are related to "monetary" policy and changes in prudential regulation/settings are related to "financial stability". By doing this, the actions/intentions of the individual institutions are more obvious and are more likely to anchor expectations – which is the point.
Of course monetary and financial stability policies, and these instruments (interest rates and prudential policy) are heavily related. But of course, we know that monetary policy and fiscal policy is as well. The fact is that in order to signal policy and control expectations we NEED individual instruments to be targeted at individual variables – and having separate institutions helps to clarify this fact.
Isn't NZ too small to separate those roles?
RBNZ did a pretty good job of doing both at once?
No. They do both separately under the same roof now – they just need to be more explicit about the difference between the two. Otherwise we get mixed signals.
Absolutely right and I'm on the side of separating the two as well.
Beyond transparency, removing some of the ability for political gain over public benefit is the reason. When each is evaluated according to its own merits, game playing is reduced, and the public's likelihood of being used as a pawn diminishes.
What about achieving financial stability by not messing around with monetary policy? In other words having a set amount of money that is backed by a real and finite commodity?
With this blog I intend to share some interesting, real-life experiences that I've had over the years as a project manager and an agile coach, hoping one day 'my two cents', would even worth a dollar.

ThoroughbRED precision and excellence wins Concourse Event: The beautiful Piazza at Monte Casino, which plays host to the annual SEFAC show day, was brought to life by the sound and sight of thirty gorgeous Ferrari's, all of different years and representing a variety of model formats, being put on display by their very proud owners.
The morning was welcomed by blissful sunlight, many staying at the Sun Square hotel, which overlooks the Piazza, were snuggled in their beds dreaming about the wonderful buffet breakfast to be served. However these thoughts were to be diverted when the glorious sound of a V12 Ferrari race engine barked and growled, as the car trundled into the square to find its allocated show day parking space.
What a sight the many guests had when they nervously peered out their windows for a better look of the commotion taking place below them. A color contrast of RED, yellow, silver, black and blue met their eyes.
When not behind his desk dealing with business issues, Paolo is at the race track with his Pablo Clark Racing team. Two cars make up the team's stable, both are prepared by Evolution 2 Motorsport, the second car is a BMW, Paolo's second favorite car brand.
Judges of the SEFAC club go over a vigorous list of requirements that Ferrari's, taking part in the concourse, require. Competing in the 'Mille Miglia' category, specifically for Ferrari race machines, the blue Rob Walker liveRED 250 GTM SWB walked away with category victory. A proud moment for the Pablo Clark Racing team, as they added another concourse victory to the trophy they won last year.
Suffice to say that the poweRED blue Ferrari 250 GTM SWB is a thoroughbRED racing example of the Italian brand. Although a concourse winner, and a beautiful car to look at, this car is best viewed on the race track in full flight, screaming to an incREDible 9000 rpm. Some things in life leave you flabbergasted; the sound of pure Italian passion is unforgettable. While the color may not represent standard requirements, the blue and white 250 GTM SWB leaves an everlasting impression, making it an icon when on display, or when taking the chequRED flag.

On last night's episode of The Colbert Report, the Comedy Central host took on Gamergate, gaming's biggest controversy. The segment also included a surprise guest—feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian.
As is pretty well documented, Gamergate is a diffuse movement that bills itself as a "consumer revolt" geared toward addressing the perceived ethical failures in video game journalism. Make no mistake, there are many well-intentioned people under the Gamergate banner that are honestly in it for that reason—although, as Colbert points out, Gamergate's biggest claims are baseless, and despite proponents' best efforts, the Gamergate hashtag has becoming synonymous with the harassment of women in the games industry.
Anita Sarkeesian's Feminist Frequency YouTube videos have endured frequent and sustained ire and harassment from many gamers who have gone on to become Gamergate proponents—just read her mentions on Twitter, or the comments on just about any blog post that mentions her work in a positive light. Her interview with Colbert is brief but entertaining, and worthwhile not just as piece on Gamergate, but on one of the sad truths about the video game industry: that while great strides are being made every day, the culture is still quite hostile towards women, and that needs to change. Check out the interview below.

One of the versions of the the torture device known as the "Stork" (ital. – Cicogna) is similar in principle use to the tool called the "Scavenger's Daughter". This instrument's origins should be accredited to the Roman Court of Holy Inquisition. The name "Stork" was first mentioned in the writing of LA Muratori (1749) entitled, "Italian Chronicle".
The history of the "Scavenger's Daughter" is tied to the reign of Henry VIII (beg. of XVI century). This device was actively employed on prisoners of the Tower of London, especially those of noble and high-ranking positions in society. It's invention is attributed to the commandant in charge of the elite, British prison, Leonard Skeffington. It was also conceived as part of an addition after the rack called the "Daughter of the Duke of Exeter", which was already in existence. The operating principles of the device – the fixation of the neck and limbs with metal straps and holding the offender in an extremely uncomfortable position for a long period of time. Visually, said instrument resembles stocks, but the pain experienced by the inmates is significantly more intense. It is enough to be imprisoned for mere minutes in this pose when the victim begins to be overwhelmed by excruciating cramps. Starting as stomach cramps, it ends as muscle spasms in the chest, neck, arms and legs. His unrelenting suffering reaches its peak and the man is brought to a state of near madness. Moreover, in order to increase the torment, the torturers beat their victims with a whip, or used a red-hot irons, "pectoral cross", or "crocodile". Sometimes the iron fetters which were wrapper around prisoner's neck and limps dug into the flesh so harshly that any prolonged and unnecessary time spent in the device led to the development of gangrene, and consequently, death.
An interesting fact: A popular rumor transformed the original name "Skeffington's Daughter" to "Scavenger's Daughter" on the basis of the harmony between the names 'Skeffington' and 'scavenger'. Also, it assumed that the original of the name "Scavenger" is also associated with the medieval custom of goldsmithing, by virtue of the force involved in packing scrap materials. Other variants include "Skeffington's Shackles", the "Iron Brace", the "Stork, the "Spanish A-frame", and to the people, it was commonly known as the "Scavenger".
Now that your interest is piqued, I suggest you turn your attention towards this unfortunate soul. With her thin neck and wrists bound, we have here what is called a "Stork", though by no means is she a bird. At the moment, this thief has the perfect opportunity to look at her sinful hands. Not a very sophisticated form of torture, right? I'd say otherwise!
At first glance, the device appears similar to primitive stocks, however take a closer look. Her face contorted in spasms, she enthusiastically gnaws on her own tongue and lips, as if wanting to devour them. She is slowly losing her sanity, and in a few hours, in place of said person will be a croaking animal. She would prefer the beat of a whip*, or her fingers chopped off. At least then she'd be allowed to briefly change her body's positioning. The pain, whose source lies hidden somewhere inside her, is many times worse than the external torture that she is experiencing. Her neckbone, the tendons in her legs and arms, and the fibers in the majority of her muscles are under extreme stress, constantly without rest, and with every second this stress grows. She can only fidget, whine, and hate her body. And as you may have noticed, her body is her own executioner. Now with said body weakened, she spews gastric bile and shakes as if she we're sick with fever but doesn't lose consciousness. When the squeezed "Storks" are sapped of all their strength, a now defeated sack of bones will fall to the earth, unable to stand or even move. It's difficult to imagine yourself in her position, isn't it? Yet we all live under the same sun…
