Hiobs Revolte ist ein ungarisch-deutsches Filmdrama von Imre Gyöngyössy und Barna Kabay aus dem Jahr 1983. In der DDR lief er unter dem Titel Hiob lehnt sich auf.

Handlung
Ungarn im Jahr 1943: Das jüdisch-chassidische Ehepaar Jób und Róza adoptiert den Waisenjungen Lackó, der Christ ist. Weil Juden zu der Zeit keine Christen mehr adoptieren dürfen, werden die Papiere auf das Jahr 1938 rückdatiert. Schäfer Jób gibt für den Jungen zwei Kälbchen. Lackó wiederum erweist sich schon im Waisenhaus als störrisch, unbändig und wenig gewillt, mit den beiden zu kommen. Jób sieht dies als Zeichen Gottes: Ein Funken eines der Kälber muss auf Lackó übergesprungen sein, um Jób den richtigen Jungen zu zeigen. Lackó soll im Gegensatz zu den Eltern überleben und den Geist und Glauben der Familie weitertragen. Alle sieben Kinder des Paares sind bereits vor ihrer Zeit gestorben und der Antisemitismus ist inzwischen auch in Ungarn spürbar. Unter den Juden des Dorfes stößt Jóbs Vorgehensweise auf Missbilligung und der Rabbi Mandele beschuldigt ihn der Blasphemie.

Lackó ist ohne Kenntnis von Gott aufgewachsen. Neugierig beobachtet er die Vorbereitungen zum Sabbat und später die Gebete, die ihm fremd sind. Da Jób ihm erklärt, dass Gott in allem, auch in den Fröschen ist, geht Lackó mit Nachbarin Kati Frösche fangen, um dem Vater eine Freude zu machen. Der Zirkus kommt in das Dorf und die Bewohner sehen hier zum ersten Mal einen Film: Das erfrorene Kind zeigt ein Kind, das im eisigen Winter am Grab seiner Eltern zusammenbricht. Einige Zuschauer sind zu Tränen gerührt, während andere sich empören, dass sie für schlechte Gefühle Geld zahlen müssen. Kaum einer kann die Illusion des Films erkennen. Hausmädchen Ilka und Knecht Jani wiederum, die auf Jóbs Hof arbeiten, schlafen in der Nacht miteinander, angeblich weil der Film sie durcheinandergebracht hat. Beide lieben sich schon lange und werden kurz darauf vom Priester des Ortes getraut.

Jób und Lackó treffen eines Tages auf den Mönch Günther, der den Jungen in Religion zu unterweisen beginnt. Jób wiederum beginnt eines Tages, für Lackó zu beten. Als es am nächsten Morgen regnet, ist Jób überglücklich, glaubt er doch, dass Gott so zeigt, dass er seine Gebete erhört hat. Umso niederschmetternder ist die Entdeckung, dass Lackó an Diphtherie erkrankt ist. Zwei Kinder Jóbs starben an der Krankheit und er und Róza beten verzweifelt, dass Gott ihnen nicht auch ihr achtes Kind nimmt. Lackó wird gesund, was auch die jüdische Gemeinde des Dorfes als Segen empfindet. Zahlreiche Nachbarn erscheinen und bringen Geschenke. Jób betrinkt sich, wie er es vorher nur zu seiner Hochzeit getan hat. Lackó wird nun immer häufiger von seinen Eltern auf den nahenden Abschied voneinander vorbereitet. Er versteht nicht, warum seine Eltern bald nicht mehr da sein werden. Eines Tages geben Jób und Róza für ihren Sohn ein Festessen, an dem sie sich von ihm verabschieden. Lackó erhält das Messer seines Vaters, das dieser ihm einst für die Zeit versprochen hat, wenn er groß sei. Am nächsten Tag packen die Eltern, während Lackó kränkelt. Als er erwacht, findet er sich in einem neuen Haus wieder. Die schwangere Ilka und Jani sind bei ihm und eröffnen ihm, dass er zukünftig mit ihnen zusammenwohnen wird. Das Haus hat Jób ihnen gekauft. Lackó rennt zu seinem alten Haus, an das ein Judenstern gemalt ist. Seine Eltern sind da, tragen den Stern und machen Lackó deutlich, dass sie ihn nicht mehr sehen wollen. Lackó ist gekränkt und geht. Er streift durch die Gegend und sieht, wie Deserteure erschossen werden. Kurz darauf rollen Viehwagen durch das Dorf. Seine Freundin Kati wird deportiert. Auf einem der Wagen sitzen seine Eltern, die versuchen, ihn nicht anzusehen. Lackó rennt dem Wagen nach und erklettert ihn. Jób setzt ihn ab und weist ihn darauf hin, dass er ihm gesagt habe, dass er auf die Ankunft von Messias warten soll und daher zurückbleiben muss. Lackó rennt allein durch die Gegend und ruft nach dem Messias.

Produktion

Hiobs Revolte entstand in deutsch-ungarischer Koproduktion, so waren von deutscher Seite das ZDF sowie die Macropos-Film und die Star-Film Martin Moszkowicz aus München beteiligt. Die Kostüme schufen Gábor Csiszár, Sári Füzy und Anna Indig, die Filmbauten stammen von Vilmos Nagy. Hiobs Revolte erlebte am 1. Dezember 1983 in Ungarn seine Premiere. Er lief am 11. März 1984 erstmals im ZDF im deutschen Fernsehen und kam am 12. April 1985 in die Kinos der DDR. Am 4. April 1986 war der Film auf DFF 2 auch im Fernsehen der DDR zu sehen.
Im Jahre 2019 wurde im Rahmen eines Restaurierungsprogramms des ungarischen Filmerbes vom ungarischen Filmlabor (Magyar Filmlaborban) ein digitales Remastering erstellt.

Kritik
Für den Filmdienst war Hiobs Revolte ein "stimmungsvolles, gleichermaßen realistisch und poetisch gestaltetes Zeitbild, das eindrucksvoll deutlich macht, daß religiöse und humane Werte unabdingbar sind für den Erhalt des Lebens und ein menschenwürdiges Dasein." "In Kompositionen, der Ruhe und Sicherheit der Kameraführung und der qualitativ an keiner Stelle nachlassenden brillianten Insistenz der Bildführung sucht der Film für meinen eingeschränkten Kenntniskreis seinesgleichen", schrieb Rupert Neudeck in medium. "Bewegend, poetisch und realistisch zugleich", fasste Cinema zusammen.

Auszeichnung
Hiobs Revolte wurde 1984 als ungarischer Beitrag zum Oscar eingereicht und für einen Oscar in der Kategorie Bester fremdsprachiger Film nominiert.

SEAT starts the production of emergency ventilators at its Martorell facilities
By Farheen Fatima
Spanish carmaker Seat has turned one of its factories from a car plant into a ventilator manufacturing facility as part of the fight against coronavirus. The Martorell factory, near Barcelona, is normally home to the production of the Leon hatchback but with car building at a virtual standstill, it has been turned over to making prototype ventilators for local healthcare authorities.
The ventilators are made using up to 80 electronic and mechanical components, including adapted car parts such as windscreen wiper motors, gearbox shafts, and printed gears.
"The motivation of everyone participating in this project is that with our know-how we can mass-produce equipment that will save lives," said Nicolás Mora from the production area of Seat Martorell.
A team of Seat engineers designed 13 different prototypes before the final design was agreed upon. They are now testing the ventilators in collaboration with the local healthcare authority to get approval for mass production. The ventilators were designed in collaboration with Protofy.XYZ and will be assembled at Martorell by 150 employees whose workstations are being specially adapted for the purpose.
Sergio Arreciado, a member of Seat's process engineering team, said: "Taking an assembly line that manufactures subframes, a car part, and adapting it to make ventilators has been a lengthy, difficult job involving many areas of the company, and we managed to do it in the record time of one week."
SEAT is strongly committed to helping the health system and professionals in every way possible to slow down the spread of COVID-19. SEAT is also currently working on and analyzing the viability of other projects that will be announced once they have passed all the necessary health tests and cleared for release by the corresponding authorities. To this end, a team of professionals from the areas of Production, Health and Emergencies, Development, Logistics, and Quality, among others, have been working against the clock for the past two weeks to make these projects a reality.
SEAT Vice-president for Production and Logistics, Dr. Christian Vollmer, who is leading the project pointed out that "teamwork and collaboration are now more important than ever so that together we can try to meet the demand from health centers. At SEAT we have an advanced mass production system and in a situation like the present one it is our responsibility to make it available to Spanish society."
SEAT Vice-president for Legal Services and Good Governance Luis Comas stressed that "this process would not have been possible without the support of the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Healthcare Products and the personal involucration of its director and the Spanish minister of health."

I've invested in more than a few Kickstarter campaign's over the past few years. Some have worked out amazingly. Others, not so much.
Redpop: a cool, useful item that makes an iPhone feel more like an 'old school' camera with it's big red button. I don't have one, I've using my Watershot a lot lately (not Kickstarter funded but a great product).
I'm waiting for my Tile. They're going full speed ahead, taking pre-orders. Kickstarter funded or not, definitely worth watching.
I also had to support one of my all-time favorite bands, Toad The Wet Sprocket. So glad I did.
The new album is worth every dollar I invested. Listen to some of the new album.
Today, Miggo's the thing that got a few bucks out of me.
It looks perfect for people like me who end up carrying too much stuff while tromping about the world leaving nothing behind, taking only photos with us.
Maybe I'll get the dust off my old DSLR when Miggo's ready for field testing.


A change is coming. You are changing. You are becoming.
That which you think you are, may not indeed, be who you really are. Your perceptions are built upon other's opinions and your own accomplishments . . . or your judgment of your perceived lack of accomplishment. The standards by which you judge yourself may be faulty.
Yes, accomplishing things is necessary for your Earthly journey. Yet, acts of kindness propels your soul into higher realms. No one may seem to notice your kindness. No one may comment on your kindness. You may believe that people only see your "mistakes".
These perceptions are judgments. What others may deem as a mistake in fact may be just the valuable learning lesson your soul came here to accomplish! Once the lesson is learned and you move forward with joy and gratitude, the judgments of others fall away.
Wouldn't it be more helpful to let those judgments fall away first? Moving forward would be so much easier!
Your whole life is a transformational journey.
If you knew it all or were perfect, there would be no need for you to incorporate into a physical form.
So, if you are in the physical form, you are on your sacred journey with lots to learn and even more to share. Our biggest suggestion to you is this . . . take time to be kind. Kindness honors your soul's journey and honors another's soul journey. In so doing, you short circuit judgment. This allows you access to ascended energy of Love and Light in a higher measure.
It takes courage to be kind. We know you are brave enough and strong enough. First, acknowledge the kindness Spirit brings to you every day in the little blessings of life. Then, be kind to yourself in honor of those gifts. Then, allow kindness to flow through you. The little acts of kindness transform your journey. Be transformed. Be Love and Light.

Electric car sales in the UK reach record high
Blue & Green Tomorrow
Electric car sales have risen by 25% in the third quarter of 2013, according to new figures. Over 1,100 people signed up for the government's £5,000 plug-in car grant, the highest number since the scheme was introduced.
The news came as the retailer IKEA announced that all of its UK stores will have electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints installed by the end of the year.
The company, working with leading car manufacturers Nissan and green energy provider Ecotricity, is to provide free, green electricity to customers at 18 stores. It said that the chargepoints will be able to charge EV batteries by 80% within 30 minutes.
"At IKEA we believe electric vehicles have a significant part to play in a more sustainable future", said Joanna Yarrow, head of sustainability for IKEA UK and Ireland, in a statement.
"We know that our customers want to live more sustainably and that extends to how they get to and from our stores. By installing more charging points and strengthening the infrastructure nationally, we believe we can start to tackle one of the major barriers to using electric cars, which is the fear of not finding a convenient place to charge the car."
The collaboration is only the latest for Ecotricity, which recently announced it would be working with car manufacturers Volkswagen to offer 100% renewable electricity to all owners of an EV from the Volkswagen and Audi ranges.
One of the main criticisms of EV use is that the cars often depend on electricity generated by conventional means. In the UK, gas and coal-fired power plants still account for the majority of the electricity supply.
However, under the new deal, any customer purchasing an electric vehicle from one of the Volkswagen Group's brands will be offered, at point of sale, the option to adopt Ecotricity's 100% green tariff for their home and vehicle power supplies.
Ecotricity founder Dale Vince said, "Running a car on green electricity from the wind and the sun is the last piece of the jigsaw; it's the ultimate in green motoring.
"When you plug your car into your house at the end of each day, you realise you're running on green electricity and releasing no emissions while you drive, it's an exciting new world."
Research published in July predicts that sales of EVs will rise by more than 200% by the end of the decade.
After a century of waiting for the future, is now the dawn of the electric car?

In Defense of Hume Part 5, John Earman Didn't Refute Hume, He Completed Him
It's widely touted that in his book "Hume's Abject Failure" John Earman "refuted" Hume. Did he? Consider what Richard Carrier tells us:
Earman didn't "refute" Hume, so much as he fixed Hume. Hume wrote just a few years before Thomas Bayes solved the problem Hume was beating around the edges at in his Argument against Miracles. Earman shows that reframing Hume's argument in a Bayesian framework fixes everything wrong with the original argument as worded. Hume's mistake is subtle, and arises from the imprecision of his wording and formulation. He hadn't quite known yet of the correct logical form of what he was trying to say, but it is remarkable he came very close to the same insight his contemporary Thomas Bayes did. Earman's fix rehabilitates Hume's argument...
There are definitely some of Hume's arguments that are spot on, that on their own show miracles cannot be believed based on testimonial evidence alone, especially if one is using testimonial evidence to prove a god exists and his religion is true, when compared to the laws of nature represented by Newton's laws of motion, as I argued here. At best one should suspend judgment. But more than this, Hume is not to be considered wrong, just incomplete, and that's a huge difference.
We just need to consider scientific revolutions. Paradigm changes build on each other as science progresses. The previous paradigms aren't to be considered wrong, but rather incomplete. As science progresses we recognize that the science of yesterday was not yet complete. That's it. If you've never read much of Isaac Asimov's, read his essay called The Relativity of Wrong. It will forever change how you view science. He explains why the discredited science of the past is not to be considered wrong, but rather incomplete, by discussing the changing views of the shape of the earth, from flat to spherical to pear-shaped. The same things can be said about Newton's laws of motion as completed (not falsified) by Einstein's relativity equations. Newton's equations were not wrong, even though he didn't factor time into them, as Einstein did. They just don't work at or near the speed of light. So there's no overturned or falsified theory here! In a like manner, Hume gave us the initial paradigm to evaluate testimonies to miracles which still holds true, but now Earman and others are offering other ways to examine miracles from a more complete paradigm. So no, Hume has not been refuted. He is being completed.

Q: Upper Semicontinuity of Spectral Radius Let X be an Banach Algebra. Suppose $M_n\rightarrow M$ in norm topology. Show that lim sup$\sigma(M_n)\le \sigma(M)$.
By a theorem of Gelfand, $\sigma(M)=lim_{k\rightarrow\infty} |M^k|^{\frac{1}{k}}$. Do I need to use this formula?


One of the most enjoyable activities around the turn of the century was taking the open trolley for a ride to the local amusement park, for a picnic, or just to cool off on a hot summer evening. These open sided cars provided plenty of free air conditioning to the passengers, as long as the car was moving. Car 1875 is an open car or summer trolley as they were also known.
Open cars were very expensive for the transit companies to operate. Unless the climate was always warm, the transit company needed to have a second set of cars for the passengers to ride during the winter weather. Rainstorms were also a problem, although curtains that could be drawn provided some relief. The public still loved the open cars in the hot summer months. It was necessary to have a crew of two people to operate an open car, a motorman to run the car and a conductor to collect the fares. This was a dangerous job for the conductor as he walked along the side running boards to collect the fares as traffic in the busy streets flew by him. For these reasons the open cars were replaced by closed cars or semi-convertible cars (see cars 249 and 172).
When our museum began searching for this type of car they had been long absent from the American streets. A search turned up several cars in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where it is always warm. These cars were built to United States specifications but were assembled in Rio using Brazilian woods. In 1965 our Museum acquired three of these open summer cars in a joint venture with other museums similar to ours. They were loaded aboard the deck of a coffee bean ship with ten other open trolleys bound for New York. From there it was a combination trip by railroad and highway truck to the Museum site. Many years of restoration have been put into car 1875 to place it in service. Just as in years past, our open summer car is the most popular car at our Museum during the hot summer months.

Join Ava and Chip as they improve their technology literacy. Ava and Chip are siblings. Ava is eight years old and her brother Chip is seven years old. They are both curious about the world around them and want to know more about technology. Mum is very aware of tech and takes a great interest in tech. As a family they enjoy going out, exploring and learning new things.
As this is a series of Technology Books for children, the names of the characters are inspired by names already used in the tech world. The author's inspiration for Ava came from her own daughters and also the name of the robot in the 2014 film – Ex-Machina which features an intelligent humanoid female robot. The thinking behind Chip was inspired by one of the authors' nephews and a chip is also the "brains of a device" – such as the Central Processing Unit (CPU) . The chip in a device is what makes the device smart. Mum's character is a reflection of the author.
By combining the personalities of real life people with that of fact from the world of tech, life was breathed into the characters.

Choosing the right theme for your WordPress website is actually surprisingly difficult. There are so many themes out there and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number you'll have to sort through. Another complication is that since themes are made by different makers, there isn't a standard way of describing what features they include. Don't assume that you can customize everything (colours, fonts, page layout) - it's only recently that themes are becoming more and more customizable. So, do read the small print and check that you will be able to do what you want to do with the theme you have chosen.
Here are some tips to help you find the right theme.
1. Know that it will take you some time, perhaps even a few days, to find the right theme.
Set aside the time for this and be methodical. Take notes and screenshots to help you remember which ones you liked, and copy the URLs of the themes you like as a reference, so you don't have to hunt for them all over again.
2. Be very clear about what your needs are.
Several of my clients have bought a theme that they have immediately liked, perhaps because some of the dummy content resonated with them or they liked the overall style, and then have realised it didn't correspond with what they actually needed. If your site is a business site, don't choose a photoblogging theme no matter how stylish it looks, and if your site is a blog, don't choose a portfolio theme that showcases portfolio elements on the front page, when what you want is to show the blog posts up front, and don't even need a portfolio.
3. Choose a theme that already looks as much as possible as you'd like it.
It's really worth spending time finding the right theme to avoid having to pay a programmer to change the code once you've bought it, because it isn't quite as you wanted.
4. Don't assume you can customize the theme. Read the small print and check you can change the page layout and change the colours and fonts, if you want to. If in doubt, ask the theme maker.
5. Don't be put off by the dummy content that is on the demo site for the theme.
I've seen people put off by the stock photos they see on the demo, but of course, it'll look quite different by the time you get your own images in there. So, only take into account the elements that won't be changed.
In general, I'm a big advocate for premium themes. If you think about the importance of the image your website presents, it seems to me that the small, one-off investment you make when you pay for a premium theme is absolutely worth it. They look so much better! Also, you'll get a good level of support with a premium theme, which you may not get with a free one.
That said, it is true that not everyone has budget allocated for a premium theme, especially if you are launching a site as an experiment or you are just playing around with an idea.
Your WordPress website will come with several free themes installed - which ones they are depends on your host. You can browse these, and activate them easily by going to Appearance > Themes. But there are many more available than just these - click on "Add New" and you'll see a large selection of other themes you can install just by clicking the blue "Install" button that appears when you mouse over them.
It's very useful to see the screenshots of the themes because this gives you a taste of what the themes will look like once they've been set up - you can't see this as easily if you just install them and preview them on your own site. But you can't really see how a theme has been designed to look when it's all set up without looking at a live demo of the whole website. To do this, note the name of the theme you're interested in and go to the WordPress Free Themes Directory (here). Then search the theme by name; when the theme comes up as a search result, click on its title. To the right hand side of the page, click "Theme home page." This will take you to the theme maker's own website and there will usually be a fully set up live demo for you to look at; in addition, depending on the theme, there may also be setup instructions, support and FAQ available for you to consult.
Looking at a demo site will let you see how the theme is supposed to look when it's set up. You need to click the "Theme homepage" link within the WordPress Free Themes Directory.
Finding the perfect theme may feel like an overwhelming task - I sympathise. I totally felt the same when I first got into WordPress. Here are some of my favourite places to get premium themes, which may save you some time.
ThemeForest There are literally hundreds of themes available here, from dozens of different theme makers. Choose the category you need e.g. Blog/Magazine, Corporate, or Creative for portfolio type themes, or look at Popular Items. ThemeForest is your best bet for a corporate looking theme - though they have all kinds, including many trendy one-page themes.
Creative Market This is another marketplace selling themes from different makers - there's a particularly nice variety of quirky, blog-type themes available.
Organic Themes Very nicely designed themes for all kinds of sites. The dummy sites are highly customised - you can change most of the elements. Take a look at the showcase to get some inspiration and to see how different the themes can look.
WooThemes This company is responsible for developing WooCommerce, one of the most popular WordPress e-commerce plugins available - they have really nice modern-looking themes for all kinds of site available, however, not just e-commerce.
WP Explorer This is a curated collection (many drawn from ThemeForest, which can save you some time hunting), with some of their own - these are particularly good and there are also many very nice looking portfolio/blog-type free themes available, and many business themes.
Dessign A beautiful collection of stunning themes for creative people - many especially for graphic designers, artists, etc - all with a visual emphasis and most containing portfolios.
ThemeTrust Design-led, minimalist themes, with a focus on portfolios for creatives - photographers, designers, etc.
Graph Paper Press One of the most famous providers of themes for photographers and other creatives.
Bluchic Beautifully designed blogging and e-commerce themes with a feminine feeling.
AngieMakes Another good source for pretty, feminine, on-trend blogging themes.
To upload a premium theme, go to Appearance > Themes, click "Add New," then "Upload Theme." Browse, upload and activate your new theme; it needs to be in .zip format (make sure you are only uploading the theme, and not the documentation at the same time - the theme won't work if you accidentally do that).


Saco Design created a clean page design to establish simple navigation for companies and employers.
All Denny's Affinity participating locations are conveniently listed with their respected contact and geographical information.
Saco Design included PDF files for both Non-Profit and For-Profit businesses in order to maximize functionality and access to Affinity information.
For Denny's Affinity Program, we created a new domain to maximize the focus on this program, which serves in conjunction with maximizing the focus on custom catering on the original domain. The simple, clean design is easy to navigate and will be easy for us to mobilize the page in the future as Denny's increases the amount of relationships they hold with other companies.
The Denny's Affinity Program offers great deals to companies and their employees, so we made sure those companies can always have access to and receive the information they need in order to sign up. We obtained downloadable PDF files of information and applications in order to create a resource page for interested companies. The sign-up forms are simple and easy to fill out – we created these forms to be completed right on the website and conveniently categorized them under Non-Profits or For-Profits.
A key aspect to this project, the Denny's directory consists of over 15 participating locations, all of which include the contact information and map of the area surrounding the respected location. Alphabetized by town or city name, it is easy to locate the nearest Denny's to your company in order to take advantage of your discount.
As a previous sub-division of Denny's Catering, 301 Redirects are essential in order to move the Affinity Program to dennysaffinity.com and off of the Catering domain name. This helps focus the message of Denny's Catering on catering; with the added benefit of a new web property to add to our SEO arsenal.

Gus Poyet is hoping Sunderland will be out of the relegation zone by the time they head to Old Trafford for the second leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final on Wednesday, holding a 2-1 lead .
The Black Cats' 4-1 win at Fulham last weekend lifted them off the foot of the table and they could climb out of the bottom three for the first time since August if they beat Southampton at the Stadium of Light tomorrow.
Poyet said: "I would like to have a good result tomorrow because then the game on Wednesday will be incredible.
"It would be great to enjoy it and go there with a completely different mentality.
"It's going to be amazing with 9,000 people in Manchester, with a bit of an advantage and an opportunity to get to a final.
"But of course first, we need a win against Southampton.
"The idea is to keep winning because we need more points."

Citing the internal investigation, a German newspaper said today that the "defeat device" was an open secret at Volkswagen as long ago as 2006. Sueddeutsche Zeitung said today that even as the automaker strived to make its engines meet U.S. environmental standards, it was also developing software that would enable it to cheat on emissions tests.
The newspaper, which had researched the story with two regional broadcasters NDR and WDR, said that many managers and staff members either knew of the attempt to create "defeat devices" or were actively involved in their development. A culture of secrecy grew in the engine development department where the staff openly discussed the software as early as 2006.
For the most part, the culture effectively bottled up knowledge of the software switch outside the engine development department. However, there were some exceptions to this. A whistleblower, who is assisting investigators with the internal probe, tried to alert a senior manager of the "defeat device" in 2011. The manager did not react. The whistleblower was one of those involved in developing the "defeat device," Sueddeutsche Zeitung indicated.
Volkswagen has indicated that it believed only a small circle of people knew about the software manipulation. Europe's biggest automaker told the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) about it last September. The automaker also indicated that it was not aware that any of its top management or supervisory board knew of the cheatware. The scandal that was created by its admission cost former VW chief Martin Winterkorn his job last year. And, it is likely to cost the automaker a minimum of $25 billion, but likely far more when the air clears. Meantime, the automaker is facing recalls, the need to find acceptable fixes and civil lawsuits and criminal probes.
Calling the story speculation, a Volkswagen spokesman declined to comment. The U.S. law firm Jones Day was hired to conduct the ongoing investigation. No one could be reached at their Munich offices for comment as they had left for the day.

"Unique challenges": Dragons' CEO reveals COVID situation as training returns
The Dragons have been hit hard by COVID.
Scott Pryde
The St George Illawarra Dragons are reportedly one of the hardest-hit NRL teams shortly after Christmas, with more than a dozen players missing.
All up, once NRLW players and staff members are included, the club has more than 20 of their personnel in quarantine, eating into pre-season for both men's and women's teams.
The women's competition will start in February, while the men's competition is due to kick-off on the second weekend of March, with pre-season trials played in late February.
According to an Illawarra Mercury report, most tests were returned positive over the end of the Christmas break, which will see players and staff able to return during the coming days as their isolation periods end.
It's understood however that players must return either three negative rapid tests over consecutive days, or a negative PCR test after testing positive to return to club environments.
Dragons' CEO Ryan Webb said there will be unique challenges this season.
"I wouldn't say it's going to be more challenging because the last two seasons have thrown some pretty good challenges up," Webb told the publication.
"It will pose some unique chellenges and we'll just have to work through those as we have the last couple of years.
"That's why you've got the experts involved in there to make those calls. They consult with the clubs and the NRL to come up with something that works.
"What they've come up with the last couple of years has worked so I'm sure we'll work through it over the next six weeks as we run into our first preseason games.
"I'm sure we'll have something in place by then that best suits the times and I'm sure that'll probably have to adjust as we go as well."
Webb also said he thought a proposal to expand squads to have more replacement players available wouldn't hurt.
"It's not something we were envisaging but it certainly can't hurt," Webb said.
"You see other sports that are running now, whether it's the Big Bash, the NBL and American sports, players are going to fall out and become unavailable throughout the year.
"Depth's definitely going to play a role, probably more so that it has in previous years, if things continue the way they are at the moment."

Hot 3 (styled as HOT3; ; also available in HD as HOT3 HD) is an Israeli television channel of the cable television company 'HOT'. First introduced as The Family Channel in the early 1990s and later simply as Channel 3, it was one of the first exclusive channels of regulated cable television in Israel.

History
The channel was founded by Udi Miron in 1989 together with the establishment of ICP (Israel Cable Programming), and was one of the first cable channels in Israel with their launch in 1990.

At first the channel's Program Schedule was mostly made of Dramas, some American shows from the past (Soap, All in the family), Soap Operas such as The Young and the Restless, and a few experimental original productions.

Within a few years, the channel became the Israeli home of many successful television shows from America and other countries, adding the tag line "The best shows in the world". However, in 2002 the channel lost this privilege due to a financial dispute with Warner Bros. and could not continue to air content distributed by Warner. This resulted in Channel 3 losing shows such as Friends, ER, The Sopranos and The West Wing – all of which were purchased by other channels.

Since then the channel added more and more original content while continuing to air non-Warner purchased shows. The channel's name was changed to "Hot 3" in 2004, not long after the three Israeli cable companies united and became the "Hot" company.

To date, the longest-running original show in the channel was Good Evening with Guy Pines, a televised magazine hosted by Guy Pines, covering the world of entertainment both in Israel and the world. This show aired at least 4 times a week for 13 seasons between 1997 and 2010, and an earlier version was the Israeli Entertainment Tonight, also hosted by Pines which aired from 1994 to 1996. Pines also covered events such as film festivals around the world before Good Evening started. Good Evening with Guy Pines moved to Channel 10 in 2010.

Rebranding
January 2010 saw the launch of Hot 3 HD, a high definition simulcast of Hot 3. Although a year earlier, in January 2009, the channel already produced the first ever Israeli original drama to be shot in high definition – Timrot Ashan (Pillars of Smoke).

In October 2011, the original SDTV channel was transferred to 16:9 widescreen broadcast, with accordance to most of its content, after more than 20 years of broadcasting in 4:3 aspect ratio.

Currently, many of the channel's acquisition series have moved to HOT HBO, and since then the channel has been focusing on original and reality dramas and continues to broadcast several series of acquisitions.

On May 12, 2014, Deputy General Counsel, Justin Antonipillai and CLDP led a workshop on insolvency for over 30 UAE commercial court judges representing four of seven emirates, hosted by the Institute for Training and Judicial Studies (ITJS). The purpose of the workshop was to outline the role of the judiciary in the fair and expedited adjudication of bankruptcy cases, and share best practices to ensure equitable outcomes. CLDP expert Don De Amicis, the former General Counsel of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), provided input throughout the proceedings.
Afterwards, Deputy General Counsel Antonipillai met with the UAE Minister of Justice, His Excellence Dr. Hadef Al Dhaheri along with the US Ambassador to the UAE, Michael Corbin. During the meeting, they discussed the upcoming CLDP commercial law-training program for UAE judges in the US as a necessary step in improving business and trade in the region in particular for US companies.
On May 14, 2014, Deputy General Counsel, Justin Antonipillai, led a commercial law liberalization workshop with Bahraini Parliamentarians, Shura Council members, and private sector leaders. The workshop, co-hosted by the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Ministry of Industry and Commerce, was the third in a series that provided in-depth training on insolvency law discussing restructuring strategies and Bahrain's long-term commercial growth opportunities.
Deputy General Counsel Antonipillai's meeting with the Minister of Industry and Commerce, His Excellency Dr. Hasan Fakhro, as well as representatives from the private sector and civil society organizations, bolstered relations following the Secretary's recent visit to the region.
Celebrating diversity in the workplace is important to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). General Counsel Kelly Welsh joined USPTO General Counsel Sarah Harris in celebrating the USPTO's 17th Annual Community Day. Annually, the USPTO hosts Community Day to rededicate the importance of diversity and the impact it has in creating innovative approaches in client engagement, team building, and better work product. The event brings the community of the USPTO together to show not only how they differ in individual backgrounds and lives, but how they can come together to form the greatest intellectual property community in the world. General Counsel Welsh also met with the USPTO's senior leadership, legal chiefs, staff attorneys and support staff. After meeting with USPTO staff, an official program commenced with reflections by Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Michelle Lee and Mayor of the City of Alexandria William Euille. Following the program, the community set up booths discussing their organizations and a food fair for the public.
On Thursday, December 6, 2012 General Counsel Kerry presided over the Office of General Counsel Annual Awards Ceremony. He was joined by Acting Secretary Blank who delivered remarks, thanking the office for their tireless work over the past year. The Acting Secretary acknowledged the great assistance that the office's attorneys and support staff have provided to her and the entire Department of Commerce.
General Counsel Kerry detailed the broad range of accomplishments achieved by the OGC office over the past year. He highlighted the successful litigation of the GPX case and efforts to move legislation through Congress as a result. He also applauded contributions to various other litigation, legislation, reforms and regulation matters handled over the past year by each office within OGC.

On May 24, 2012, the Office of Chief Counsel for Industry and Security (OCC/IS) assisted the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) in reaching a settlement agreement under which Ericsson de Panama, S.A. agreed to pay $1.75 million to address 262 violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). BIS charged Ericsson de Panama with implementing a scheme to evade the EAR over a multi-year period, with regard to telecommunications equipment owned by the Cuban Government. The equipment was shipped to Panama, where it was repackaged to conceal its Cuban markings, sent with falsified paperwork to the United States for repair or replacement, and then exported back to Cuba via transshipment through Panama. The equipment involved is controlled under the EAR for national security, anti-terrorism, encryption, and sanctions reasons. The settlement also requires an external audit of all 2012 transactions involving items subject to the EAR that are exported or re-exported to Cuban customers by Ericsson de Panama or any of its corporate affiliates.
This settlement represents the latest in BIS's enforcement efforts to ensure the integrity of the export control system. BIS plays an integral part in advancing the nation's security, foreign policy, and economic interests, and investigations and settlements like this one uphold this vital mission. OCC/IS represents and supports BIS in all administrative enforcement matters.
On March 30, 2012 General Counsel Kerry updated prior memoranda implementing the Administration Policy on Scientific Integrity. The update provides additional guidance consistent with the policy recommendations of Dr. John Holdren, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), who issued an Administration policy on scientific integrity, implementing a Presidential memorandum of March 9, 2009. In particular, the memorandum promotes the accurate and clear presentation of scientific and technological information to the public and further supports the professional development of Department personnel. This memorandum establishes policy directives for the Department of Commerce to ensure the highest integrity of science and scientific products developed and utilized by the Department and its bureaus. The updated memorandum and the December 6th and June 15th memoranda are attached below.
The Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) was created in February, 1992 and on February 23, 2012, the Office of the General Counsel hosted an event to thank the institutions and the individuals who created CLDP and/or helped it grow, and to reflect on lessons learned. General Counsel Kerry presented awards to several USG officials and private sector experts who have made important contributions to CLDP programs and to the strengthening of the rule of law worldwide.
In a discussion moderated by General Counsel Cameron F. Kerry, Judge Bernice B. Donald from the US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, and Judge Delissa Ridgway from the US Court of International Trade, reflected on their experiences doing work for CLDP in many countries over the years. Both judges concluded that the judicial capacity building programs conducted by CLDP have resulted in two significant changes: foreign judges now realize that they can play a significant role in the economic development of their countries; they have now the expertise and the confidence to help bring about the judicial environment, adapted to their country's specific context, that are conducive to foreign investment and trade.
The program also featured remarks by Commerce Secretary Bryson on the importance of a modern and fair commercial law environment for US firms that export or invest overseas, by Ambassador William Taylor, Special Coordinator for Middle East Transitions at the US Department of State, on CLDP's ability to respond promptly to State's priorities for technical assistance in commercial law, and by Linda Wells, founder of CLDP, on the genesis and growth of the program.
On September 8, the Senate passed the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), H.R. 1249, by a vote of 89-9. The bill now will be sent to the President for his signature.
This legislation has been a major priority of the Department of Commerce and the Office of General Counsel since the beginning of this Administration. The AIA marks the first comprehensive reform to U.S. patent law in 60 years and transforms the patent system to accommodate the needs of 21st Century inventors and businesses.
Reducing fees for small and micro-entities by as much as 75%, which will foster innovation.
During the week of July 25th, General Counsel Kerry travelled to Beijing to continue discussions with China on the shared goal of addressing bribery of foreign government officials by U.S. and Chinese companies. Following extensive dialogue led by General Counsel Kerry, China amended its criminal code earlier this year to criminalize the bribery of foreign government officials. The United States has criminalized such conduct since 1977 through the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
Now General Counsel Kerry and an interagency team, including representatives of the Departments of Justice and State and the Securities and Exchange Commission, are sharing with Chinese officials how the United States has implemented and enforced the FCPA and are seeking to encourage China to publicize, fully implement, and rigorously enforce their new law. The discussions, held under the auspices of the U.S.-China Joint Liaison Group Anti-Corruption Working Group, also included a roundtable in which U.S. and Chinese companies exchanged ideas about how they prevent and detect corrupt payments to foreign officials through compliance programs within their enterprises.
While in Beijing, General Counsel Kerry also met with Ministry of Commerce officials, representatives of the U.S. private sector, and other U.S. and Chinese officials to discuss commercial law issues and intellectual property rights protection and enforcement.
On March 22, 2011, DOC General Counsel Kerry spoke at a symposium titled "Toward Coherence in International Economic Law: Perspectives at the 50th Anniversary of the OECD" regarding the Administration's work in promoting ethical conduct by international businesses. The symposium took place in Washington, DC, and was sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the American Society of International Law, and the George Washington International Law Review, in cooperation with the International Law Students Association.
In his remarks, General Counsel Kerry highlighted the work of the Department of Commerce and other U.S. agencies to fight corruption in international business transactions, noting President Obama's linking of corruption, human rights, and well being, and Secretary Locke's views about corruption as a barrier to U.S. economic growth. He discussed the Justice Department's emphasis on enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Commerce Department's engagement with the private sector, his upcoming trip to Doha for a regional conference on integrity in the private sector put on by the Commerce Department's Commercial Law Development Program, and Commerce's work (with the Departments of State and Justice) in pressing foreign governments to enact and enforce strong anti-bribery laws. He was joined on the panel by Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez and NGO and private sector representatives.
Yesterday, General Counsel Kerry participated in the keynote panel of the 30th Annual OECD Privacy Guidelines Conference. The conference's opening remarks were delivered by Director General Guy Rotkopf of the Israeli Ministry of Justice and OECD Deputy Secretary-General Richard Boucher. The keynote panel entitled "Privacy in the Context of the Internet -- Recording Everything and Forgetting Nothing?" featured GC Kerry, joined by Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada; Andrew Wyckoff, Director of Science, the Technology and Industry, OECD; and Marie Shroff, the Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand (as pictured from right to left).
The group discussed a broad range of privacy principles and issues facing government officials and policy makers in both the private and public sectors. In his remarks, Kerry expressed a desire to create a global environment that fosters meaningful tools to protect privacy. He also focused on developing a policy that will create the trust that is necessary for consumers, industry and government to continue the innovation that has caused tremendous economic growth. The first day of the conference then concluded with closing remarks from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Discussion in 'The Camino Portugues' started by Christine Fireheart, May 31, 2015.
Am I mad to consider walking from Porto to Santiago in August. I'm a teacher so can only walk in the school hols so was thinking of starting Aug 13th and planning about 14 days to do the walk, and I realise I'd have to start at sunrise to beat the heat, but I haven't found one post on here saying they are walking in August. I'm not that experienced but have started walking 8k a day hoping to increase week by week in preparation.
You are not mad to start your Camino on that particular date. Many would say upon reflection, that you are mad the first day you contemplate walking a Camino.
August is a fantastic time upon this walk and enjoy it to your heart's content.
raymond john and danvo like this.
Hi Christine, I walked the Camino Portugese Porto-Santiago last year at the end of May. I did not meat many people during my walk and felt me very alone during the 2 weeks. Go and enjoy the camino!
As Danvo said. I could not have put it better. There is no wrong time to walk the camino (only your time)and there's no bad weather . As this is your Camino, even when its raining in your mind you will be walking in sunshine.I have no doubt you will have a wonderful camino experience and make many camino friends. Put your trust in God and go the distance. "Ultreya"
Thank you all so much for your replies. I'm so looking forward to it.
May i suggest you take an umbrella for shade. I did so on the same caminho at the end of last september and was very glad for it. Many types can be bought in Porto,near the Cathedral. Not expensive.
Any One Walking The Northern Route In August?

Machining of cast iron involves removing metal from the cast part, usually by cutting with a power-driven machine tool. This article discusses the factors that influence machinability, the methods used to evaluate machinability of cast irons, the effects of cast iron microstructure on cutting tool life, and the importance of as-cast surface integrity on the machining variation. It presents examples of cutting tool materials selection for different cast iron grades, and describes the effects of coolants on the machining of cast irons. A chart showing different cutting materials and cutting speed ranges for selected iron-carbon alloys is also presented. Different types of cutting tool wear observed during turning are schematically illustrated.


The American Trucking Associations (ATA) has renewed its call for the U.S. Department of Transportation to implement a rule requiring the electronic speed limiter on all large trucks be set no higher than 65 miles per hour.
ATA says slowing trucks down will reduce the frequency and severity of crashes. Federal data show that driving too fast for conditions or over the posted speed limit was the primary reason for 18 percent of all fatal crashes where a large truck was deemed at fault. A speed limiter rule won't prevent all of these crashes, but it would certainly help, according to ATA.
Nationally, speed is a cause or factor in nearly 30 percent of all fatal crashes.
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) does not concur. OOIDA, which represents small trucking businesses, questions the safety benefits associated with limiting truck speeds and has raised concerns about the cost impact.
OOIDA says having different speeds for cars and trucks would raise the number of crashes.
The Associated Press published a story last month revealing that most big truck tires aren't designed to go over 75 mph. Yet 14 states, mainly west of the Mississippi River, have speed limits of 75 or above. Texas, Wyoming, Utah and South Dakota have limits of 80 or higher.
About 70 percent of trucking companies already have speed limiters on their rigs, and ATA spokesman Sean McNally said the rule would stop the rest from putting other drivers in danger. The association, he said, believes that government regulations aren't always "inherently evil."
He conceded that a uniform speed would level the playing field for all truckers, but said that was only a secondary reason for the proposal.
Many tractor-trailers on the nation's roads are driven faster than the 75 mph their tires are designed to handle, a practice that has been linked to wrecks and blowouts but has largely escaped the attention of highway officials.
Safety advocates and tire experts say that habitually driving faster than a tire's rated speed can generate excessive heat that damages the rubber, with potentially catastrophic results.
