    1. Olivetti Lettera 31 (Another name for the Dora -- or is it the opposite?) olivetti Dora (the actual base model if I'm not mistaken, with a bunch of rebrands worldwide) ETON (naturally this belongs on this list, I've even seen 2 others for sale online since) Underwood 315 (rebrand) Montgomery Ward Escort 33 (rebrand) Olivetti Underwood 310 (pretty sure this is a rebrand too, or at least very closely related) Olivetti Index (this is the closest thing I've found to my ETON branded one. It s PRACTICALLY the same in every regard - seen two online for sale) Montgomery ward escort 44 (also a rebrand of the DORA?!) Mercedes Super T (rebrand as well, seen one for sale) Montomery Ward Escort 77 (pretty close to being the same model again again... But not quite?) Neckermann BRILLANT Special T (DEFINITELY a rebrand. The manual is a dead give-away among other things) JUPITER (A typewriter 100% identical to the IDEX or ETON, but rebranded again again) Underwood 314 (no idea on this one. I gave up at this point)

    1. "Il résulte donc de ce qui précède, qu’en l’absence d’obstacle juridique, l’organe délibératif de l’EPLE est parfaitement libre d’adopter le principe d’une répartition de l’année scolaire en deux semestres, au lieu de trois trimestres. Une fois cette résolution arrêtée, il conviendra également de modifier en conséquence le règlement intérieur de l’établissement."

    1. after Jacob left Laban’s house with his wives Leah and Rachel. Laban pursued him to get back the idols that Rachel had stolen. After Laban was convinced that Jacob had not stolen his idols, Jacob and Laban make a covenant. “Jacob took a stone (ʼben) and set it up as a pillar (massebah) which would be a witness of the agreement they had made on that occasion (Genesis 31:44–45).
    2. There are several occasions where the massebah is not associated with pagan worship. When the massebah is associated with the worship of Yahweh, the massebah is accepted as a valid expression of commitment to Yahweh.

      Massebah for pagan worship: - Exodus 23:24 (https://hypothes.is/a/r3m5QmyDEe6SC8eLYcJE1Q) - Hosea 10:1 (https://hypothes.is/a/4PK2GGyDEe6wZg_r2YpVCA ) - 2 Kings 18:4 - 2 Kings 23:14

      Massebah for worship of Yahweh: - Genesis 28:18 Jacob's pillow (https://hypothes.is/a/NF5p8Gx6Ee65Rg_J4tfaMQ)<br /> - Genesis 31:44-45 Jacob and Laban's covenant - Exodus 24:4 - Joshua 24:25-27

    1. such processing can still be associated with increased risks because it takes place outside the EU, for example due to conflicting national laws or disproportionate government access in a third country.

      So even if you don't need to consider Chapter V, consider Chapter 5.

      I wish the EDPB would just come out and say they want to splinter the internet already. It would be faster.

    2. Similarly, for atransfer of personal data to a controller or processor in a third country who is already subject to theGDPR for the given processing, it has to be noted that the GDPR already applies in its entirety
    3. Example 12: Controller in the EU uses a processor in the EU subject to third country legislationThe Danish Company X, acting as controller, engages Company Y established in the EU as a processoron its behalf. Company Y is a subsidiary of the third country parent Company Z. Company Y isprocessing the data of Company X exclusively in the EU and there is no one outside the EU, includingthe parent Company Z, who has access to the data. Additionally, it follows from the contract betweenCompany X and Company Y that Company Y shall only process the personal data on documentedinstructions from Company X, unless required to do so by EU or Member State law to which CompanyY is subject. Company Y is however subject to third country legislation with extraterritorial effect,which in this case means that Company Y may receive access requests from third country authorities.Since Company Y is not in a third country (but an EU company subject to Article 3(1) GDPR), thedisclosure of data from the controller Company X to the processor Company Y does not amount to atransfer and Chapter V of the GDPR does not apply. As mentioned, there is however a possibility thatCompany Y receives access requests from third country authorities and should Company Y comply withsuch request, such disclosure of data would be considered a transfer under Chapter V. Where CompanyY complies with a request in violation of the controller’s instructions and thus Article 28 GDPR,Company Y shall be considered an independent controller of that processing under Article 28(10)GDPR. In this situation, the controller Company X should, before engaging the processor, assess thesecircumstances in order to ensure that, as required by Article 28 GDPR, it only uses processors providingsufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures so that theprocessing is in line with the GDPR, including Chapter V, as well as to ensure that there is a contract orlegal act governing the processing by the processor.

      Not a transfer until the USG triggers a request, in which case Company Y becomes an independent controller ... though who is the data being transferred to? The USG on compelled order?

    4. Some examples of how personal data could be “made available” are by creating an account, grantingaccess rights to an existing account, “confirming”/”accepting” an effective request for remote access,embedding a hard drive or submitting a password to a file. It should be kept in mind that remote accessfrom a third country (even if it takes place only by means of displaying personal data on a screen, forexample in support situations, troubleshooting or for administration purposes) and/or storage in acloud situated outside the EEA offered by a service provider, is also considered to be a transfer,provided that the three criteria outlined in paragraph 9 above are met.

      Everything is a transfer.

    5. Example 9: A subsidiary (controller) in the EU shares data with its parent company (processor) in athird countryThe Irish Company X, which is a subsidiary of the parent Company Y in a third country, disclosespersonal data of its employees to Company Y to be stored in a centralised HR database by the parentcompany in the third country. In this case the Irish Company X processes (and discloses) the data in itscapacity of employer and hence as a controller, while the parent company is a processor. Company Xis subject to the GDPR pursuant to Article 3(1) for this processing and Company Y is situated in a thirdcountry. The disclosure therefore qualifies as a transfer to a third country within the meaning ofChapter V of the GDPR.

      The EDPB says "Hahaha, get wrecked"

    6. n addition, this second criterion cannot be considered as fulfilled when there is no controller orprocessor sending or making the data available (i.e. no “exporter”) to another controller or processor,such as when data are disclosed directly by the data subject15 to the recipient.

      No transfer when an action is done directly by a data subject to/from a recipient.

    7. Example 8: Employee of a controller in the EU travels to a third country on a business tripGeorge, employee of A, a company based in Poland, travels to a third country for a meeting bringinghis laptop. During his stay abroad, George turns on his computer and accesses remotely personal dataon his company’s databases to finish a memo. This bringing of the laptop and remote access ofpersonal data from a third country, does not qualify as a transfer of personal data, since George is notanother controller, but an employee, and thus an integral part of the controller (A).19 Therefore, thetransmission is carried out within the same controller (A). The processing, including the remote accessand the processing activities carried out by George after the access, are performed by the Polishcompany, i.e. a controller established in the Union subject to Article 3(1) of the GDPR. It can, however,be noted that in case George, in his capacity as an employee of A, would send or make data availableto another controller or processor in the third country, the data flow in question would amount to atransfer under Chapter V; from the exporter (A) in the EU to such importer in the third country.

      Ah, the employee example. Which of course goes sideways if you start to look at contractors, things get gross.

      Also, 'make the data available' is broad.

    8. Chapter V does not apply to “internal processing”, i.e. where data is not disclosed bytransmission or otherwise made available to another controller or processor, including where suchprocessing takes place outside the EU

      They actually seem to clarify that intra-group processing activities here aren't covered, provided it's truly "internal" - I suspect that if the processing includes contractors, this goes out the window.

    1. “This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God” (Isaiah 44:6).

      Jewish monotheism doesn't emerge until the end of the Babylonian Exile (~586 - 500 BCE) period and the beginning of the Second Temple period (500 BCE - 70 CE) when the religion moves from acknowledging the existence of other gods to saying there is only one god. (Isaiah 44:6).
