  • 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.

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] Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos sells $3 billion worth of stock
    [단독외신] Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos sells $3 billion worth of stock AFP via Getty Images Jeff Bezos is cashing in on the coronavirus — and that could be good news for his rocket company, Blue Origin. The 56-year-old Amazon CEO on Wednesday sold exactly 1 million shares — or $3.1 billion worth of stock in the e-commerce juggernaut, bringing his total stock sales for the year to over $7 billion. The sale, which came a week after Amazon shattered expectations in its most recent earnings report, represented less than 3 percent of his massive Amazon stake, which is worth more than $175 billion. Bezos is currently worth $189 billion, according to Forbes. Shares of Amazon are up more than 90 percent since the start of pandemic-related lockdowns in March, with massive gains fueled by stuck-at-home consumers turning to Amazon for their shopping needs. The stock rose 0.6 percent on Thursday to $3,225. The billionaire announced in 2017 that he would be selling at least $1 billion worth of stock each year to fund Blue Origin, which recently posted job listings for its lunar lander program. “The price of admission to space is very high,” Bezos said at a 2018 awards dinner. “I’m in the process of converting my Amazon lottery winnings into a much lower price of admission so we can go explore the solar system.” Bezos is locked in a heated space race with fellow tech billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who runs his own rocket company, SpaceX. Both men want to launch a network of internet-beaming satellites, and both want to make space tourism accessible to the average person.

  • [단독외신] Ex-Google engineer Anthony Levandowski gets 18 months for stealing trade secrets
    [단독외신] Ex-Google engineer Anthony Levandowski gets 18 months for stealing trade secrets A former Google engineer who stole self-driving car technology for Uber was sentenced this week to 18 months in prison, in what a California judge called the “biggest trade secret crime” he’s ever seen. US District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco refused to hand out a shorter sentence Tuesday to Anthony Levandowski, because it would have given “a green light to every future brilliant engineer to steal trade secrets,” he said. The sentencing comes five months after Levandowski, 40, who was ordered to pay $179 million in damages to his former employer — a punishment that resulted in him immediately filing for bankruptcy. Levandowski allegedly downloaded 14,000 documents from Waymo, Google’s self-driving car subsidiary, in December 2015 as he was about to leave his job there after being poached by then-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick. After leaving Waymo, Levandowski formed an autonomous trucking company called Otto which was promptly acquired by Uber. Uber and Waymo eventually settled the dispute to the tune of $245 million, but Levandowski was charged by San Francisco federal prosecutors last August with looting the top-secret files. Levandowski was facing 33 counts, with a maximum sentence of 10 years apiece, but pleaded guilty to just one, which accused him of downloading to his personal computer a file that tracked technical goals for Google’s self-driving project. “I downloaded these files with the intent to use them for my own personal benefit, and I understand that I was not authorized to take the files for that purpose,” Levandowski said in court papers. Levandowski requested one-year confinement at his Marin County home, contending that bouts with pneumonia in recent years would make him susceptible to COVID-19 in prison. His attorneys asked the judge to consider that investigators found no evidence that “Levandowski used any of Google’s trade secrets after leaving Google’s employment.” Alsup ruled that Levandowski could enter custody once the pandemic has subsided. The engineer, who now runs self-driving truck company Pronto, apologized to Google and said he plans to share his story of regret with others in the tech industry. “Today marks the end of three and a half long years and the beginning of another long road ahead,” he said in a statement.

  • [단독외신] Dole Unveils Integrated Strategy Against Banana Disease
    [단독외신] Dole Unveils Integrated Strategy Against Banana Disease Dole Food Company today shared the company’s most recent update on its efforts to combat Fusarium Tropical Race 4 (TR4), a plant disease that poses an existential threat to bananas, a major staple crop for much of the world. Since the discovery of TR4 in northern Colombia one year ago, Dole swiftly ramped-up its TR4 response plan, implementing site-specific TR4 prevention activities throughout Latin America in coordination with local authorities and international experts to contain and prevent spread. A three-year containment program was immediately implemented in 2019 to ensure biosecurity protocols in every Dole banana farm, as well as those of Dole’s independent suppliers. Those protocols build upon best practices implemented in the banana producing countries where the disease has been successfully contained and are continually reviewed and strengthened per site—based upon the farm layout and location—to maximize the effectiveness of the risk-based mitigation plan. Dole also continues to share these best practices with independent growers and to engage with governments, multi-stakeholder initiatives and industry partners to ensure that our actions are coordinated with the wider response, both in Latin America and globally. These efforts require significant investment and as of now there is no evidence that TR4 has spread from the area in Colombia in which it was initially detected. “Fortunately to date, the spread of this disease in Latin America has been contained to only the La Guajira region of Colombia, but this issue is not isolated to one region or one banana grower; it affects the entire industry and we must all be vigilant,” stated Patricio Gutiérrez, Director of Innovation R&D, Dole Tropical Products. “Containment alone is not sufficient. We must find ways to move beyond defense and find a sustainable solution to this issue in the long-term.” Dole is exploring a number of potential resolutions. One such solution the company is investigating is how to implement safe and approved biological control measures to prevent disease. Additionally, Dole is working closely with research institutions around the world toward developing a disease resistant banana variety through crop improvement and conventional breeding methods. Since 2016, Dole has participated in a consortium working in partnership with the Honduran Research Foundation (FHIA) on the development of banana varieties that are resistant to TR4. Although developing a new kind of banana through traditional breeding is painstaking work, the research team is making good progress and a number of lines are currently being pot or field tested for TR4 resistance. More recently, Dole began collaborating with companies working on precision biotechnology as a means to develop TR4 resistant bananas and is also part of the Global Alliance against TR4 led by IICA and Bayer in collaboration with other large banana stakeholders. When and if either these efforts or the other work being done by third parties succeed, Dole intends to be part of the discussion on how to make the solution available to banana growers worldwide.
