Ban Ki Moon: ‘We need agreement significantly below 2 degrees’ – We need a strong and meaningful agreement here in Paris “on the climate to be” below two degrees “temperature increase, also to ensure” peace and international security, “said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, opening the meeting.

We need a” global agreement, effective, balanced “and” legally binding that would allow economies to grow “and limits of” 2 degrees “global warming, said Russian President Vladimir Putin to Cop21, hoping for” a new agreement in the extension of Kyoto that responds to the interests of our people. “

For the President French Francois Hollande, the fight to terrorism and climate change “are two great challenges we face,” because “our children we have to leave more than a world free from terror, a planet preserved from disasters, a sustainable planet”.

“There is a challenge that concerns us all, the future of the planet. No unnecessary alarmism we must realize that we are at a crossroads. Italy wants to be among the protagonists of the struggle to selfishness, from the part of those who choose non-negotiable values ​​such as the defense of our mother earth. So Renzi on Facebook while on the climate summit in Paris.

Obama: ‘We can change the future here and now’ – “I came in person as the representative of the world’s largest economy and second polluter to say that we, the United States, not only recognize our role in having created the problem but we also assume responsibility for doing something about it. We can change the future here and now. ” Barack Obama told the climate summit. US President just arrived in Paris, shortly before one in the morning, made a unscheduled stop in front of the concert hall of the Bataclan, the scene of the massacre of 13 November, where 90 people have died. At his side, announced by the White House, French President Francois Hollande Along with Obama and Hollande, the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.

“One of the enemies to fight is the cynicism, that is not we can do nothing against climate change, “Obama noted adding that” here in Paris, we confirm our commitment to support countries who decide to skip the ‘dirty side’ of their development “, which requires significant investment in technological innovation in the field energy. He said he hoped that there is also support “to the countries most vulnerable” to climate change. “No country is immune from climate change, neither small nor large, neither the rich nor the poor,” he warned noting that “we are the first generation to feel the effects, and we are the last one that can do something” to address the problem.

The Paris Conference is an opportunity for the world to show united in building a better future for our children is the message posted by Obama on Facebook before it left for the French capital. Obama stresses so as America’s leadership on environmental policies is helping to make progress. “Our businesses and our workers – writes – have shown that you can make progress toward a cleaner future while also creating new jobs and the economy grows.”

Renzi , or binding agreement will be written on the sand – On climate serves “an agreement as binding as possible, otherwise it may be written in the sand.” This was stated by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on the sidelines of the Paris conference. That climate “is a very difficult game. At lunch there were moments of confrontation even turned on. It will not be easy to reach an agreement, but it is a fundamental condition,” said Renzi yet. Climate, he said again, “Italy does its part but the real problem is that not everyone in the world behave the same way. We must make an effort so that others come to these results.”

Xi, Cop 21 is not coming but the starting point – “The Paris agreement should reinforce actions after 2020 (on climate change) and expand global efforts to pursue sustainable development” said Chinese President Xi Jinping, hoping that this is “not a finish line but a new starting point.” Developed countries “must be up” and remain committed to “100 billion a year until 2020″ in support of the poorest countries to help them tackle climate change in the hope of “respect differences” between the States so as to “enable developing countries not to deprive them of the possibility of rolling back poverty.” “Let’s get out and work to achieve a comprehensive and effective mechanism for combating climate change”, and “build new international relations that are based on win-win cooperation”.

Putin, serves agreement binding and limit 2 degrees – We need a “global agreement, effective, balanced” and “legally binding that would allow economies to grow” and limits of “2 degrees” global warming, said Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling for “a new agreement in the extension of Kyoto that responds to the interests of our people.” By 2030 Russia will reduce ‘greenhouse gas emissions by 30% compared to 1990 he promised the Kremlin leader. ” We have crossed our responsibilities’ in the Kyoto Protocol ”, he stressed, pointing out that between 1991 and 2012 ” Russia has not only prevented the growth of greenhouse gases but he also greatly reduced and because of that not and ‘finished in an atmosphere equivalent to about 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide’ ‘, slightly less than the total greenhouse gas emissions (46 billion tonnes) issued by every country in the world in 2012.’ ‘I mean’ we can say that Russia’s efforts made it possible to curb global warming by about a year, “he added.

Juncker, the question is political will -” Today we are aware of the risks of tomorrow and we can prevent them is a matter of political will and the stakes of the Paris Conference. “So the EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in his speech.” Ensuring the future and the happiness of a child no matter what happens, this is the responsibility of a father and as our policy makers, “he said, quoting the letter of the father of a child who lost his mother in the recent attacks.

Profiles, change is not our fault , address it now – “Climate change is not the product we have. And ‘the result of global warming come from the industrial age driven by fossil fuels. But we must now face the consequences, and so the result of this conference is so important, “said the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, in a speech in the national pavilion. Poor countries have the right to continue to use coal if this need to grow their economies added warning “developed countries that would be ethically wrong to shift the burden of reducing emissions on developing countries like India.”

Small Islands State we must save ourselves – The leaders of small island State begging for their survival, asking the larger countries a greater commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions and help poor countries threatened by rising oceans and by hurricanes caused by global warming caused by man. Peter M. Christian, president of Micronesia, has appealed to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon for declaring a state of emergency world. “The challenge is to save ourselves, not someone else but ourselves.” The first state mnistro Pacific Tuvalu, Enele Sosene Sopoaga, added that “any further temperature increase will mark the total disappearance of the island”.

Pope Francis, I hope and pray that Cop 21 successful – “I have faith” in Cop21, “that will do something, I would say that there is a willingness to do something, I hope and pray that is so” said the Pope in return flight from ‘ Africa in Italy, adding that climate “we are at the limit”, “we are on the edge of suicide, which is a strong word.” “I’m sure – he said – that almost all of those who are in Paris having conscience and want to do something.”

COP21 climate is a historic opportunity for a breakthrough groped against global warming. The conference will seek an agreement limiting global warming to 2 degrees above pre-industrial. In view of the conference of 183 countries presented 195 commitments to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. These commitments, which in itself represents a significant step forward, however, would lead to a warming of close to 3 degrees, then insufficient to achieve the goal. The summit aims to outline so for decades to the mechanisms of upward revision of the agreement but it is almost certain that you will reach the obettivi, you will do what you must do.

In Paris he’s President Barack Obama on the agenda today two bilateral meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and and the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, leaders of the two Asian countries key to the success of the summit.

Rome and Milan city surreal and apocalyptic in the drawings of the WWF – TecnoAndroid


 

 WWF city surreal

Rome and Milan devastated by a scenario desertified. While Pisa and Venice submerged by the waters of the sea. This is the view suggested nothing less than the WWF and a series of images that can not help but give food for thought.

In general, we tend to associate doomsday scenarios in cities like New York and London. But the Climate Change and its possible consequences will invest across the planet. Sure, views related to the symbol of a city, as it can be for the Colosseum in Rome or the Empire State Building for the Big Apple arouse more appeal in the observer the creations of photographers and artists.

And it is perhaps This is the challenge launched by the WWF. A kind of sensiblizzazione taking in the sight of the observer that could be envisaged in a not too distant future. All this in a real project, whose slogan is “ Save the Humans, Save the Climate! .”



What are the causes of climate change

If there is much talk. The search for causes and their solution. Main suspects fossil fuels. The pollution of the cities where we live are a “happy” as exhaustive example. And, despite the great pains to remedy this, the greenhouse gas emissions they would be increasing. The pace with which they are doing is also harmful, given their terrifying speed.

The disasters will spill over our heads in the form of sea level rise, but also of heat waves that will only that increased droughts and, however, also floods. Storms and hurricanes would, therefore, on the agenda. A hurt everywhere, millions of people, entire ecosystems and many species of animals.



The project “City surreal”

The WWF project, therefore, is really to “tell” the future cities such as Rome, Venice, Pisa and Milan. We show examples of perspective in the images of photographers chosen for this initiative. That merits consideration. By each of us.

Star like the Sun devoured by a black hole – The Messenger

The phenomenon was already known, but this time, the destruction of a star “devoured” by a black hole, was also observed. E ‘that happened a few days ago a group of researchers led by ‘astrophysicist Sjoert van Velzen of the Johns Hopkins University, has registered with the tools, the time when a small star, roughly the size of our Sun, is literally devoured by a black hole.

The “monster” in question is at the center of a galaxy located 300 million light-years away. The event has then given rise to the formation of a jet of matter that has been moved to near the speed of light.

 The results have already been reported in the journal Science.

“Our observations allowed us to follow the trajectory of the star as he has moved out of its orbit and then was captured by the gravity of the supermassive black hole,” explained their van Velzen, adding that “These events are extremely rare.”

 “It ‘s the first time that we see the main steps that we could monitor the course of several months, that is, the destruction of the star formation of the relativistic jet.”

HTC One A9, a review of Android like iPhone – TecnoAndroid


 

 htc one to9

HTC One A9 has arrived on the market with the hope that it will revive the fortunes of the giant Taiwanese.

After testing for a bit ‘of time the terminal we are ready to give our opinion on this device that turned out to be almost as expected.

Design and aesthetics

Packaged in typical packaging of HTC, the accessories are basic ones. Charger with quick charge technology , microUSB cable, clip for Nanosim, manuals and good ear.

HTC One A9 has dimensions of 145.75 x 70.8 x 26.7 mm and weighs only 143 grams . The device is made of aluminum of fine workmanship. Good grip, even if, as often happens on HTC devices, the feeling that they are delicate and can be scratched at any moment is always around the corner. On the back right is the volume rocker as well as the button on / off switch (knurled, very convenient because it’s easy to find in the dark). On the left are shown the two trolleys that allow the insertion of microSD and NanoSim. Below is the speaker system, the entrance to the microUSB and 3.5mm audio jack as well as the main microphone. On the back panel there is the 13-MPX camera with dual LED flash and a secondary microphone. On the front over the display is the capsule sound, the light sensor / proximity, the LED notification (which sometimes is not visible), the secondary camera from 4 ultrapixel and the only physical button which is touch and also it serves as a fingerprint reader . The latter is an incredible precision, while the user experience has never missed a shot.



Display and touch screen

display is a 5-inch full HD AMOLED with a density of 441 ppi . The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass.

The display quality is worthy of the current 2K (that never was) outstanding, excellent visibility even in the sun and well-defined colors.

touch screen is very fluid thanks to good system optimization, we never found jamming during use.

Hardware

The HTC One A9 processor is the ‘ octa-core 64-bit 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 615 with frequency . To support the work of Soc there are 2 GB RAM , very few to be a device that has to face the competition. However, the incredible optimization of the terminal allows to be able to perform all tasks always having a bit ‘of RAM available.

The internal memory of the device is from 16 GB , expandable with microSD. Thanks to the Android operating system Marshmallow the external memory card can be used as system memory , the cut 16 GB is therefore not a problem.

The GPU is Integrated into the processor or the ‘ Adreno 405. Good performance when gaming, the possible slow loading of the games is not due to the graphics card but the limited amount of RAM.

The internal battery is not removable from 2150 Mah . The day, with average use intense, can be covered easily by optimizing between hardware and operating system. The battery recharges quickly thanks to the charger with technology Quick Charge.

Audio speaker system is good while that of the speaker of system (mono) proved to be a bit ‘lower than the average guaranteed terminals HTC.

The terminal has WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC. All three behave very well and do not create problems.

The navigation is guaranteed by ‘ A-GPS enhanced by GLONASS satellites. The test performed with Google Maps enabled us to get to your destination without a hitch . The signal is hooked quickly.

The maximum data connectivity is the ‘ LTE . The receiving terminal is excellent, we never had problems even when the signal was weak.

The suite of sensors of the terminal is very complete: accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor and light, compass and sensor hub.

Software and web browsing

The operating system of the terminal is Android Marshmallow . The perfect optimization with hardware to allow HTC One A9 to be always fluid and handsome , even when multitasking has several open applications.

The user interface is the latest HTC Sense 7.0 . Fluid and powerful, the new user interface is highly customizable thanks to several themes already available to the user.

The native browser is Chrome but it is useful to download the browser HTC Thanks to its new version allows browsing experience very interesting as well as handsome.

Camera

The main camera of the HTC One is A9 13 MPX . The photographs are of excellent quality also in macro. The double led flash interesting shots in the dark. This is possible by optimizing hardware and software of the photographic industry.

front camera 4 ultrapixel is of good quality snaps selfie interesting as long as there are the right conditions of brightness .

The camera software is comprehensive yet very simple to use.

Conclusion:

HTC One A9 was born to compete to the top of the range but probably would have been most appropriate place among the best medium-range . It is a terminal very nice aesthetically, vaguely reminiscent devices bitten apple, and handsome in everyday use. On the market there are, however, the most interesting at lower prices . The official cost of about 600 € is really inappropriate. Unofficially it is already possible accaparrarselo 500 € but, the real convenience in the quality / price ratio will be obtained only when the price will be around 400 €.

HTC One A9: “The Android iPhone” with a big responsibility – Il Sole 24 Ore

History Article

Close

This article was published on November 28, 2015 at 15:29.
The last change is the November 28, 2015 at 15:43.

The HTC One A9, newest member of the Taiwanese, has a face that will accompany us a lot of time. Its design will inspire in fact even the new top models (M series), it refers to the president of HTC North Asia Jack Tong. And this is perhaps the main reason why it is worth to draw attention to this mid-range model, which we tested. We are long-time users of the HTC models, having appreciated the choice of metallic design of the first “One”, which in fact has then become a real trend in the competition.

Not that HTC has an advantage of being very It was the precursor of the trend “full metal”. Or rather, its market share is constantly declining, much to disappear now in the ranking of the top vendors. HTC is now firmly represented in “Others” in the estimates of the market (recently Gartner believes that its share is around 2 percent in the world in smartphone sales). This explains the need to change everything with the A9, from the design, and the choice to make the flag of a new course for HTC. A course from which the house is hoping to get out of the crisis: in the second quarter of 2015 has experienced for the first time the red in the financial statements, after the (small and declining) profit of the year and the previous quarter.

But the paradox that all reviewers have noted international, and that is also evident in our hands, which is the importance of design to the aims of HTC is inversely proportional to its originality. The A9 is highly reminiscent of the iPhone 6 (in fact the same size), although HTC claims to have taken a path of evolution starting from One M9, the current top of the line.

To be objective, it would not even be a problem of the similarity with the iPhone 6S. Maybe it is for some purists, but it is certainly for the general public who aspires HTC. A smartphone with a nice design (like the iPhone 6 / 6s, in fact), thin, lightweight, ergonomic, but cheaper iPhone 6; with Android (6.0) and a 5-inch display, differentiating factors compared to Apple (whose sizes are 4.7 and 5.5 we remember). The problems of the A9 are others. And mainly: its introductory price (579 euro, even if it is already at 560 Euros online) undergoes a lot of competition from other models. And now that is a sensitive issue for the general public.

In particular, the A9 suffers compared with the Google Nexus 5X, but also with the “old” top of the range Samsung Galaxy S6, now respectively 430 and 460 Euros (online stores). The cheapest of the A9, but with superior characteristics, all things considered (here a comparison point to point). The display Hct is full hd, like the Nexus (against which, however, has a higher pixel density) but worse than the Samsung. The A9 has a good rear camera, but Samsung does best (with 100 euro less, remember).

The two rival models have a front camera and also more powerful processors.
Nexus is worse of the A9 just for the amount of RAM (2 GB 3G against the other two). The real strength of the A9 is perhaps support microSD (absent in the other, although with 128 GB dell’S6 they feel less need, compared to 32 GB of the other two).

The real disappointing aspect, in our test, in itself is the battery. Only 2150 mAh: hardly comes late in the day (the Nexus has 2700), as confirmed by several tests of specialized magazines. Of course, the duration is less than the HTC One M9 (2840 mAh). Unfortunately confirms a downward trend on the battery capacity, by producers, that at this stage prefer to sacrifice it in the name of the slim design (the same happened with the S6 towards Samsung S5).

Overall, the A9 is a valid mobile, but compared to the competition and for its costs too much. More in perspective, if the choice of design will be confirmed on the next flagship (M series), fans of HTC may be concerned by the disappearance of the main distinguishing feature of this brand: double speaker front. The top of the line HTC were the best phones on the market for listening to music or phone calls hands-free. The A9 has a mono speaker of good quality, to make room for a fingerprint reader that affects the speed and accuracy, the level of the iPhone, if not faster.

Giraffe in Piazza Duomo: the Milan apocalyptic WWF – mentelocale.it

Two giraffes frolic undisturbed in Piazza Duomo. In the background, the carcass of a car and the cathedral of Milan blackened as a few decades ago. No human being in the neighborhood, but a huge sand dune that covers the entire surface of the square. Milan is desert, barren, uninhabited.

Venice under the water one of the images of the series “Surreal City spread by WWF Italy Cynthia Mace

Pisa and Venice are represented largely submerged by the seas , complete with polar bears and penguins instead of tourists, immersed in a surreal silence where there are human beings .

The danger is that they continue to ignore the solution without intervening, in a future we really find ourselves in this condition (maybe less spectacular), but the planet is suffering and disasters and heavy rains in recent years have a strong signal. To realize the “ Surreal City ” was Cynthia Mace, set designer and graphic designer, who love performing arts alongside the interest in environmental issues and the development of the area.

On the website of WWF Italy , as well as designs with doomsday scenarios there is also a cartoon, created by cartoonist James Cardelli, in which a father, a son with his face blackened by fumes polluting factories, explains that ‘one day all this will be yours’ .

Party at CERN the journey in search of the first moments of the Big Bang – The Messenger

Party at CERN in Geneva the journey that will lead scientists to the first moments of the Big Bang. A journey that, through new ion collisions at an energy record, will study a “soup of particles” existed only a few millionths of a second after the Big Bang, reproducing conditions similar to those present in the first millionths of a second life of ‘ universe.

The new experimental phase of CERN comes after the restart, in June 2015, a super-energy of 13 trillion electron volts (TeV ), superacceleratore the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and after the first few months of data collection generated by the collisions of protons.

tradition collide ions for about a month every year as part of the research program of the LHC. But this year is special – said Rolf Heuer, director general of Cern- because we reach a new energy and explore the matter in the very early stages of our universe. ” Ion collisions will, in fact, physicists at CERN – which includes about 1,500 Italians, half of which are coordinated by the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) – to study a state of matter called quark-gluon plasma . It is a soup of particles existed briefly a few millionths of a second after the Big Bang.

The 150 million euro that the government announced to put on national cybersecurity will go to big industry, it appears to Sole24Ore, also if startups have a crucial role to push innovation. In this context especially. Startups Italian, then, for the moment, will only have to gravitate to large companies, to grasp the new funding stream, however, by its limited than the amount set aside from other countries. The UK has just announced £ 2 billion for a plan cyberintelligence.

The Italian startup ecosystem safety has for some other notable excellence, as reflected Andrea Rigoni, an expert on cybersecurity for NATO and the UN, “There Inverse Path, a startup focused on the analysis of Trieste and strengthening of objects dedicated hardware security (smart card chip, embedded systems) often used in banking, avionics or automotive. Or Minded Security, Italian excellence in expansion focused in research, analysis and support to the removal of application vulnerabilities. It is a world reference for identifying vulnerabilities of Adobe platforms. ” The same Rigoni is founder of a startup cyber counseling, Intellium. The list continues: Hacktive Security is a company dedicated to the Roman professional services related to the world of ICT security: system integration, technical assessment, support to forensic services. Swascan is the brand safety of online startups Milan Business Competence and is dedicated to selling online scanning services for networks, web applications and source code. It offers services on the cloud. We can also consider the startup made by Italians but based abroad. Are interesting examples to cite as lost opportunities for our ecosystem Italian, who failed to be quite attractive to these realities. This is the case of Nozomi (Switzerland) and Security Matters (Netherlands): “make probes to analyze the security environments are two Scada and excellence throughout the world,” says Rigoni. “A startup is well known in the field of cybersecurity lastLine” adds Bruno Crispo, a professor at the University of Trento, an expert on cybersecurity. “It was born by the University of California, Santa Barbara. Among the founders there are many Italians and Italian work there. ” Startups are critical in a field such as cybersecurity, because this is a very dynamic field, “says Crispo.

The importance of startups in this field is confirmed by the choice of a big, Kaspersky, open the throttle Security Startup Challenge. “The tendency is to incubate the idea in Italy since there are many incubators, but then try out capital, because Italy is a smaller market, with infrastructure often does not live up to, with limited financing opportunities,” said Crispus . “To take off the startup of cybersecurity it is first necessary that there is a real national market, with strong investment by the Government. Something that today there is, “confirms Rigoni. And is a little ‘paradox when “Now the goal is to quickly counteract terrorism.”
