  • 하천 내 반려동물 운동·휴식 편의시설 설치 하천법 일부개정법률안 대표발의
        더불어민주당 김회재 의원(전남 여수시을)은 13일 하천 내 반려동물 편의시설을 설치할 수 있도록 하는 내용의 '하천법 일부개정법률안'을 대표 발의했다. 현행법 상 하천구역에서 가축을 방목·사육하는 행위는 금지되어 있다. 그러나 반려동물 가구가 늘어남에 따라 반려동물과 함께 하천을 이용하는 사례가 많아, 이들을 위한 별도의 휴식 등 편의시설이 필요하다는 지적이다. 이에 김 의원은 개정안을 통해 하천구역 내 반려동물 운동·휴식시설을 설치할 수 있도록 규제 조항을 일부 완화했다. 또한 이용 급증에 따라 발생할 환경 오염을 예방하기 위해 오염 실태 주기적 검사, 오염 우려지역 조치 명령 등도 개정안에 포함했다. 국무조정실은 올해 2월 규제개혁신문고에 접수된 국민 건의 중 하천 내 소규모 반려동물 놀이터 등 설치를 대표 사례로 선정해, 2022년까지 법 개정을 추진하겠다 밝힌 바 있다. 김회재 의원은 “반려동물 천만 시대에 많은 시민이 반려동물과 함께 생활하고 있다. 시민과 함께하는 반려동물도 불편함이 없도록 규제를 완화할 필요가 있다”고 지적했다.

               '개 식용 문제 논의를 위한 위원회'는 2021년 12월 9일 출범 후 4월 현재까지 개 식용 문제 해결을 위한 논의를 진행해 왔다.   그동안 활발한 논의를 통하여 개 식용 종식이 시대적 흐름이라는 인식에 공감대를 이루는 성과가 있었으나 아직 합의에는 이르지 못해, 추가적인 논의를 위해 위원회 운영을 2개월 연장하기로 결정하였다.   위원회는 운영 초기부터 개 식용 문제에 대해 이해관계자 등 참여자들 간에 입장 차이가 커서 상호 이해의 폭을 넓히는 것에 중점을 두어 운영하였다.   이에 따라 개 식용 문제 논의에 활용하기 위해 식용 목적 개 사육 현황 등을 조사했으며, 이는 식용 목적 개 관련 통계 자료가 없었던 상황에서 정부가 처음으로 조사했다는 의미가 있다. 또한 개 식용 관련 국민의 인식을 알아보기 위한 설문조사를 실시하였다.   한편 갈등관리 전문기관을 통해 참여 위원과 관련 업계 종사자 등에 대한 심층면접을 실시하여 종식시기, 지원방안 등 그들의 관심 사항과 대립되는 입장을 정확히 진단하여 갈등을 해결하기 위해 노력하였다.     아울러 대만의 개 식용 종식 관련 현지 전문가와 국제 화상회의를 통해 ‘대만의 종식 사례’를 파악하는 등 공감의 폭을 넓혔으며, 이외에도 ‘개 식용 관련 위생적 문제점’, ‘현행법 체계’ 등에 대한 전문가 발표와 논의를 통해 개 식용과 관련한 현 상황을 진단하고 이해를 도모하였다.   참고로 정부는 2021년 11월 25일 국무총리 주재로 ‘국정현안점검조정회의’를 개최하여 '개 식용 문제에 대한 사회적 논의 추진 방향'을 논의하였으며, 그 결과 사회적 논의기구를 관련 동물보호단체, 육견업계, 전문가, 정부 인사 등 21명으로 구성하여 개 식용 문제를 논의하기로 한 바 있다.   정광호 위원장은 "위원회 운영의 기본 원칙인 합의 정신을 실현하기 위해 육견업계와 동물보호단체 등의 입장을 발표할 수 있는 기회를 부여하는 등 충분한 시간을 가지고 논의하는 방식으로 위원회를 운영했으며, 개 식용 종식이 시대적 흐름이라는 인식을 같이하는 성과를 거두었다”라고 강조하면서, "앞으로 그동안 쌓은 위원 간 신뢰와 공감대를 바탕으로 대타협을 도출하기 위해 최선을 다하겠다”라고 밝혔다.

All employees are responsible for own work and we place a high value on exchanging necessary feedback each other. There’s a communication format called Leadership dialogue that not only the manager give feedback to the staffs, but the staffs also give feedback to their manager.  Infineon Korea is working on a campaign to call nickname instead of Korean title.

The demand has increased significantly but only few foundry companies produce automotive semiconductor because it’s not profitable. It’s expected to continue overeating of automotive semiconductors for a while due to great interest of autonomous driving, electric vehicles and COVID pandemic. To counteract this problem, Infineon is doing the best to find good solutions for our customers.

If you decide a job you want to do, I’d like to recommend that you get information about the company you want to work as much as you can. It would be helpful that find the company’s management direction, changes in the industry and company’s outlook. Many companies want you if If you can clearly show your potential and your goals to contribute within the company.

  • [단독외신] FBI reportedly probing massive Twitter hack, bitcoin scam
    [단독외신] FBI reportedly probing massive Twitter hack, bitcoin scam Enlarge Image Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Hindustan Times via Getty Images The FBI is reportedly investigating a major Twitter hack and bitcoin scam that compromised the accounts of big business and political figures including Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Barack Obama. The bureau is looking into the hack — which was reportedly carried out with the help of a Twitter insider — to see whether vulnerabilities in the social network’s systems could pose a greater national security threat, according to the Wall Street Journal. The scammers took over prominent Twitter accounts on Wednesday to push a bitcoin scam that promised followers of the accounts would have their money doubled if they transferred funds to a linked bitcoin wallet. “Feeling greatful, doubling all payments sent to my BTC address!,” read a since-deleted tweet on Musk’s account, which misspelled the word grateful. “You send $1,000, I send back $2,000! Only doing this for the next 30 minutes.” Cybersecurity company Unit 221b and blockchain analysis company Chainalysis Inc. both told the paper they had been contacted by law enforcement about the matter. Representatives for Twitter and the FBI did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. A spokesperson told the Journal that the bureau is “aware of the hack” but did not comment further. The hackers reportedly paid an employee for helpattacking Twitter, though the terms of their purported deal are unclear. “We used a rep that literally done all the work for us,” another hacker told the tech site Motherboard. The accounts were taken over with an internal Twitter tool that shows various details about the identity and status of user accounts, such as whether the email address has been confirmed and whether the account has been suspended, according to screenshots Motherboard published. San Francisco-based Twitter said it has moved to limit access to its internal systems and tools while it investigates the incident, which it called “a coordinated social engineering attack.” “We’re looking into what other malicious activity they may have conducted or information they may have accessed,” Twitter said in a series of tweets.

  • [단독외신] Southwest Airlines likely to cut jobs unless bookings ‘triple’
    [단독외신] Southwest Airlines likely to cut jobs unless bookings ‘triple’ Enlarge Image AFP via Getty Images Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly told employees on Monday it needs a dramatic jump in passenger demand or it will be forced to take new steps to reduce staffing. Employees face a Wednesday deadline whether to participate in a voluntary incentive program to leave the airline. “Although furloughs and layoffs remain our very last resort, we can’t rule them out as a possibility obviously in this very bad environment,” Kelly said in a message to employees. “We need a significant recovery by the end of this year — and that’s roughly triple the number of passengers from where we are today.” Kelly added that the “recent rise in COVID cases and increasing regional restrictions on businesses and states requiring quarantine aren’t positive developments for our business, and we are concerned about the impact on already weak travel demand.” Airlines are grappling with overstaffing as they decide whether to further limit passengers on flights. JetBlue Airways said Monday it will extend blocking middle seats on larger airplanes and aisle seats on smaller aircraft for flights through Sept. 8 in response to COVID-19. Other airlines, like American Airlines are again booking flights to capacity. Last week, United Airlines said it was preparing to send notices of potential furloughs to 36,000 US-based frontline employees, or about 45 percent of staff, as travel demand hit by the coronavirus pandemic struggles to recover. Not everyone who receives a notification will be furloughed, United said. Furloughs would begin Oct. 1, when a government-imposed ban on forced job cuts by airlines that accepted billions of dollars in federal assistance expires. Delta Air Lines, which is blocking middle seats through at least Sept. 30, told employees Thursday it plans to get “smaller as we

  • [단독외신] China to sanction Lockheed Martin over Taiwan arms sales
    [단독외신] China to sanction Lockheed Martin over Taiwan arms sales China will impose sanctions on US defense contractor Lockheed Martin over its involvement in arms sales to Taiwan, it announced Tuesday. “China firmly opposes US arms sales to Taiwan. We will impose sanctions on the main contractor of this arms sale, Lockheed Martin,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in a press conference without elaborating further. Last week, the State Department approved a $620 million deal to sell the Democratic island upgraded parts for its Patriot surface-to-air missiles. At the time, the department said in a statement, “This proposed sale serves U.S. national, economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient’s continuing efforts to modernize its armed forces and to maintain a credible defensive capability.” China opposed this and previous sales because of their staunch rivalry with Taiwan. The Communist nation views Taiwan as a rogue province and publicly argues it should not be afforded the rights granted to sovereign states. China also maintains that Taiwan must one day be reunited with the mainland as an inalienable part of their territory. While the US has no official diplomatic ties with Taiwan, relations have increased in recent months, thanks especially to China facing a wave of scrutiny as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The US Senate unanimously approved a bill in late May calling on the State Department to develop and submit a plan to help Taiwan regain its World Health Organization status. US rejects Beijing's claim to South China Sea, deepens Chinese anger The legislation, co-sponsored by Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Iowa) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ), also called on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to report to Congress any actions taken by the US to boost Taiwan’s global relationships diplomatically. The bill’s passage came following a considerable lobbying campaign waged by Taiwan. Pompeo has also touted Taiwan’s response to the pandemic, calling the country a reliable partner back in May. “We have a shared vision for the region — one that includes rule of law, transparency, prosperity, and security for all,” Pompeo said in a statement at the time. “The recent Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity for the international community to see why Taiwan’s pandemic-response model is worthy of emulation.”

  • [단독외신] Google lifts ad ban on anonymous blogging site ZeroHedge
    [단독외신] Google lifts ad ban on anonymous blogging site ZeroHedge Enlarge Image SOPA Images/LightRocket via Gett ZeroHedge is back on Google’s ads platform after a several-week-long ban. The financial site, which is known for posting most of its articles under the pseudonym Tyler Durden, a fictional character played by Brad Pitt in the movie “Fight Club,” can once again tap into the search giant’s lucrative advertising money, a Google spokesperson confirmed. ZeroHedge was suspended in June after it was found to have violated Google’s policies related to race. Google at the time told The Post that the action came after finding racist content in the comments sections of both sites. But by June 21, ZeroHedge had removed the offending content and implemented a content moderation system to clean up its comments board — moves that brought the site back in line with Google’s rules and allowed it to start raking in the Google ad dollars again. “We work with publishers to keep them aware of our monetization policies, which cover user comments on sites, and offer guidance on how to address policy violations if they wish to be reinstated,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement. “We have policies like these for many reasons, including to ensure companies advertising with us have confidence their ads aren’t running against dangerous, derogatory or hateful content.” CNBC first reported ZeroHedge’s reinstatement. It wasn’t ZeroHedge’s first major run-in with big tech. The blog’s page was suspended by Twitter in February for publishing an article linking a Chinese scientist to the coronavirus outbreak. Twitter reinstated the blog’s page last week after determining that the suspension was a mistake.
