WASHINGTON， Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- Andy Puzder， the nominee for labor secretary picked by U.S. President Donald Trump， said Wednesday he has withdrawn his name from consideration for the post as facing opposition from a number of Republican lawmakers， leaving shrinking chance for him to survive a Senate confirmation voting.
"After careful consideration and discussions with my family， I am withdrawing my nomination for secretary of Labor， " said the bruised fast food executive in a statement provided to local media. He is the highest profile of Trump's cabinet picks to remove the nomination himself.
Puzder's withdrawal came one day before a scheduled confirmation hearing in the Senate， where some Republicans had raised concerns about his failure to pay taxes for five years on a former housekeeper who wasn' t authorized to work in the United States， according to local reports.
The CEO of CKE Restaurants said he was "honored to have been considered by President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Labor and put America's workers and businesses back on a path to sustainable prosperity."
"While I won't be serving in the administration， I fully support the president and his highly qualified team"， said Puzder in a statement issued to the public.
"The simple truth is that given his relationship to employees that the companies he runs， he was not fit to lead a department responsible for defending workers' rights，" said Bernie Sander， the Vermont senator who ran for the Democratic nomination last year.
Claiming Puzder's withdrawal as their victory， Democrates had accused Puzder of mistreating his workers， opposing increasing minimum wage and supporting automation in workplaces. There are also allegations that he abused his ex-wife in the 1980s.
CANBERRA Cheap Jordan 5 Bordeaux Mens , Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Two separate studies undertaken by scientists in Australian have come up with new ways to deal with the eradication of pests such as feral pigs, rabbits and mice, which cost the local agricultural economy more than one billion Australian dollars (800 million U.S. dollars) every year.
Researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) has developed a technology-based system whereby pests get scared away from crucial agriculture, while in a separate development Jordan 5 Bordeaux Mens For Sale , researchers from the University of Adelaide attacked the problem using complex genetic development.
CSIRO scientist Dr Ash Tews said that the trials of autonomous Vertebrate Pest Detect-and-Deter (VPDaD) technology are underway, which uses a series of sensor-driven lights and sounds to prevent pests from causing damage.
"One of the interesting issues with existing deterrent technologies is that, not only do animals become de-sensitized to them, but smarter ones can even learn to use the deterrents as an indication of a food source Jordan 5 Bordeaux Mens Online , which is the opposite of their purpose," Tews was quoted in a CSIRO press release published on Wednesday.
The autonomous technology CSIRO scientists developed allows the system to recognize animal behaviours in response to deterrents and modify the deterrent strategy until the desired effect is achieved.
"This allows the system to be more effective over long periods of time such as the key threat times during crop growing."
Tews said while the technology was only in a testing phase, ultimately the CSIRO wants to "scale-up the technology and roll it out across Australia".
And while the CSIRO has been busy implementing technology in the fight against invasive and damaging pest species, scientists at the University of Adelaide in South Australia believe they may soon be able to eradicate pests by implanting them with "infertility genes".
According to the university's mathematical ecologist Jordan 5 Prm Bordeaux Mens , Dr Thomas Prowse, researchers could use a process called gene drive to cause an inheritance of a gene which would render pests, such as mice, infertile.
In a press release also published on Wednesday Jordan 5 Retro Bordeaux Mens , Prowse said that if 100 "infected" mice were released on, for example, an island of 50,000 mice Jordan 5 Bordeaux Mens , they would be eradicated within five years.
"If viable, this technology offers a humane, targeted solution for invasive species control," Prowse said.
"This could complement or even replace traditional control methods such as culling www.jordan5prmbordeaux.com , trapping and poison baiting, as well as more advanced biocontrols such as rabbit haemorrhagic disease."
The research indicates that controlling invasive pest populations using gene drives may be feasible, but certainly the hype around this new technology is still some. |
