在不列颠哥伦比亚北部发现的被烧毁的卡车司机现在被认为失踪

RCMP say the two young male drivers of a pickup truck found on fire in Northern B.C., close to a dead body, are now considered missing.

加拿大皇家骑警说,在不列颠哥伦比亚省北部发现的一辆皮卡起火的两名年轻男司机,接近一具尸体,现在被认为失踪。

On Friday, RCMP discovered the burning truck, fitted with a sleeping camper, near Dease Lake, B.C. They found the body the same day, about two kilometres away in a highway pullout.

周五,加拿大皇家骑警在迪斯莱克附近发现了这辆燃烧的卡车,上面安装了一个睡眠帐篷。同一天,他们在两公里外的一条高速公路上发现了这具尸体。

RCMP now say the truck's drivers, 19-year-old Kam McLeod and 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky, both from Port Alberni, B.C., haven't been in contact with their families for the past few days.

加拿大皇家骑警现在表示,卡车司机19岁的甘·麦克劳德(Kam McLeod)和18岁的布莱尔·施梅格尔斯基(Bryer Schmegelsky)都来自不列颠哥伦比亚省的阿尔伯尼港,在过去几天里没有与家人联系。

The pair were travelling in the pickup to visit Whitehorse and look for work, police say, and may be in an area without cellphone coverage. RCMP are asking anyone who may have seen them to call police.

警方称,这两人当时正乘坐小卡车前往怀特霍斯寻找工作,可能所在地区没有手机信号覆盖。加拿大皇家骑警要求任何可能见过他们的人报警。

Police say they're working to identify the body found near the burned vehicle, but officers now know that it isn't Schmegelsky or McLeod. They're still figuring out how the body and the vehicle are related, if at all.

警方表示,他们正在努力辨认在被烧毁的车辆附近发现的尸体,但警方现在知道,尸体不是 Schmegelsky 或 McLeod。他们还在研究尸体和车辆之间的关系,如果有的话。

EPA Rejects Ban On Common Pesticide Linked to Brain Damage in Children
美国环保署否决禁止使用与儿童脑损伤有关的常见杀虫剂

The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday said it would not ban chlorpyrifos, a pesticide used for killing insects, citing a lack of scientific evidence and drawing ire from environmental groups that say it could cause harm to the children of women who are exposed to the pesticide when pregnant.

美国环境保护局(Environmental Protection Agency)周四表示,将不会禁用毒死蜱。毒死蜱是一种用于杀死昆虫的杀虫剂。该机构称,缺乏科学证据,并引发了环保组织的愤怒。这些组织称,毒死蜱可能会对孕期接触毒死蜱的妇女的子女造成伤害。

While the agency banned the indoor use of chlorpyrifos in 2000, the chemical is still widely used in the agricultural industry to protect crops, especially corn, from insects. The pesticide, which is produced by Corteva, an agricultural chemical company formerly part of DowDuPont, and goes by the brand names Dursban and Lorsban, is also regularly used on golf courses to kill worms, fire ants and other bugs.

虽然该机构在2000年禁止在室内使用毒死蜱,但这种化学物质仍广泛用于农业,以保护农作物,尤其是玉米免受昆虫的侵害。 这种农药由科尔特瓦公司(Corteva)生产,该公司曾是杜邦(DowDuPont)旗下的一家农业化学品公司,品牌为 Dursban 和 Lorsban。它还经常用于高尔夫球场,杀死蠕虫、火蚁和其它虫子。

CONGRESS IS PISSED AT FACEBOOK AND THE FTC
美国国会对 FACEBOOK 和联邦贸易委员会感到愤怒

REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC lawmakers alike are furious over reports that the Federal Trade Commission is prepared to settle with Facebook over widespread privacy violations for just $5 billion. But that doesn’t mean there’s currently an acceptable bipartisan solution floating around the marble halls of the Capitol.

共和党和民主党立法者都对联邦贸易委员会准备以50亿美元的价格与 Facebook 就广泛存在的侵犯隐私行为达成和解的报道感到愤怒。但这并不意味着目前在国会大厦的大理石大厅里有一个可以接受的两党合作的解决方案。
