"Seoul's Defense Ministry said Monday it will pull back dozens of its frontline loudspeakers on Tuesday.
It says Seoul expects Pyongyang to do the same.
South Korea had turned off its loudspeakers ahead of Friday's summit talks, and North Korea responded by halting its own broadcasts." foxnews.com/world/2018/04/30/latest-s-korea-to-remove-loudspeakers-at-border.html
Seoul had blasted propaganda messages and K-pop songs from border loudspeakers since the North's fourth nuclear test in early 2016. The North quickly matched the South's action with its own border broadcasts.
"South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Monday that President Trump deserves to win a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in talks to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and end the decades-long war between the North and South.

Up here in Canada, we're fighting Nestle trying to take fresh water from small towns (without a lot of money in the bank for lawsuits) for pennies. Maybe if Flint offered them all the water they wanted for pennies.....

To be fair, water is pretty cheap.

Water may be cheap if you have a helluva lot of clean water just lying around. But, we are busy poisoning the water in much of the world. It's time to look ahead, Canada. You need to protect your water rights. Just tell Nestle to get the hell out of the country!

Like Canada? Nestle is just buying fresh water where it is cheap and selling it elsewhere. Bottled water is ridiculously low volume compared to other uses for the water (such as agriculture, golf courses, and of course, just letting it run off into the ocean).

3 step Anti-Nestle Tactic for the Win
1/ Take a video of some guy(s) pissing in a water intake pipe with a Nestle Logo on it.
2/ Post it on Youtube/FaecesBook/Twatter/Whatever, link to a Nelson 'Ha-Ha' clip with a caption of "You drank my Piss!", and showing whatever water brands Nestle hides behind.
3/ Exploit your nerd competencies to make it go viral.
