  • 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.

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.

Semiconductors account for 18% of the total cost of automotive electronics in 2000 but it’s 40% in 2020. 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] Ubisoft shares sink after executives leave amid misconduct probes
    [단독외신] Ubisoft shares sink after executives leave amid misconduct probes Enlarge Image AFP via Getty Images Shares of French video-game giant Ubisoft tumbled Monday after three executives stepped down amid investigations of harassment and abuse. The maker of the “Assassin’s Creed” series saw its Paris-listed shares drop as much as 10 percent to 69.70 euros ($79.10) after it announced the departures Sunday of Chief Creative Officer Serge Hascoët and Yannis Mallat, the managing director of Ubisoft’s Canadian studios. Ubisoft is also looking to replace Global Head of HR Cécile Cornet, who has stepped down from her job but is still employed by the company, according to The Wall Street Journal. The company offered few details about what the executives may have done wrong. But a recent article in France’s Libération newspaper said Hascoët was known for misogyny, homophobia and “libidinous behavior,” while Ubisoft said allegations against multiple employees in Canada made it “impossible” for Mallat to stay in his job. The shakeup was part of a broader effort Ubisoft announced earlier this month to improve its workplace culture amid a reckoning over sexual harassment and other misconduct in the video game industry. That effort included a series of outside investigations into allegations against Ubisoft employees. Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot will oversee an overhaul of how the company’s creative teams collaborate while he fills in as Hascoët’s replacement, the company said, adding that it is also “restructuring and strengthening” its human resources office. “Ubisoft has fallen short in its obligation to guarantee a safe and inclusive workplace environment for its employees,” Guillemot said in a statement. “This is unacceptable, as toxic behaviors are in direct contrast to values on which I have never compromised — and never will.” Ubisoft started the probes amid a reckoning over sexual harassment, discrimination, abuse and other misconduct in the gaming industry. A Google spreadsheet created last month has compiled hundreds of allegations against gamers, developers, talent agents and other industry figures. Ubisoft put two other executives, Tommy François and Maxime Béland, on leave last month as the outpouring of allegations continued, according to Bloomberg News. Béland has reportedly resigned.

  • [단독외신] Tesla ‘very close’ to next step in self-driving, Elon Musk says
    [단독외신] Tesla ‘very close’ to next step in self-driving, Elon Musk says Enlarge Image Harold Cunningham/Getty Images Tesla is “very close” to bringing its self-driving car tech to the next level, chief executive Elon Musk said Thursday. In remarks made via video message at the opening of Shanghai’s annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Musk said that he is “confident” that Tesla will achieve “the basic functionality for level 5 autonomy” this year, meaning that vehicles will be able to navigate roads without any driver input. The distinction would continue to put Tesla at the forefront of the autonomous driving industry, a space where it is competing with Uber and Alphabet-owned Waymo, who are both investing billions of dollars in self-driving efforts. Tesla currently builds cars with an Autopilot driver-assistance system, which helps Tesla drivers steer, accelerate and brake automatically in their lane, but asks them to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based Tesla has been criticized for the name of its Autopilot tech, with Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) calling it “an inherently misleading name” because the cars cannot actually fully drive themselves. Tesla Autopilot has been involved in five fatal crashes since 2016, including a grisly accident in Mountain View, Calif., just 15 minutes away from the company’s headquarters, which left the driver dead after his Model X hit a highway divider. Musk also said Thursday that Tesla is also developing new heat-projection or cooling systems to enable more advanced computers in its cars. Shares of Tesla were up 2.4 percent Thursday morning, trading at $1,398.99. It is now the most valuable automaker on earth with a market cap of $259 billion.

  • [단독외신] Hollywood production craters as coronavirus halts most filming
    [단독외신] Hollywood production craters as coronavirus halts most filming Enlarge Image "Wonder Woman 1984" starring Gal Gadot is one of the huge Hollywood releases postponed because of the coronavirusAP Movie and TV production screeched to a halt last quarter as stay-at-home orders brought filming to a standstill in Tinseltown, according to a new report. Unsurprisingly, production in Los Angeles plummeted 97.8 percent, to just 194 shooting days, compared with the April to June year-ago period, a FilmLA study said. The stark report, which called the second quarter “a near total loss for on-location filming,” said the period marked the “lowest filming levels on record.” That’s linked to the fact that production remained shut from March 20 to June 15 due to the coronavirus. “The first shutdowns we saw in March were voluntary, and it was hoped they could be temporary. Looking back, it was hard to imagine the impact the pandemic would have on entertainment projects in progress, and the economic security of local cast, crew, and production vendors,” said president of FilmLA Paul Audley. During the second quarter, television production was down 98.2 percent, to 52 shoot days, as commercial production slid 95.5 percent, to 58 shoot days, and feature film production declined 99.7 percent, to 3 shoot days. Even as Hollywood has been given the green light to go back to work, the report described the return to work as “gradual and cautious.” “The good news is that production is starting to responsibly return, with advertising shoots, commercials, and limited television production now coming online,” offered Audley. “All permitted filming must comply with health orders as issued by county authorities. The measure of compliance we’re seeing is a real help in keeping the industry on the road to recovery.”
