A methane inhibitor to reduce the effect of cow farts – BFMTV.COM

Rest assured, the process has no effect on milk production. US researchers have shown that it is possible to reduce by 30% the emission of cows through a methane inhibitor. Now in the UK for example, pets and belching cows and other ruminants are responsible for a quarter of the emissions of this pollutant, greenhouse gases 25 times more harmful to the atmosphere than CO2.

The study, published earlier this month by the US National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and denoted by Le Figaro , highlights the effects of 3NOP, or 3-nitrooxypropanol, which acts on the tissues of the digestive system of cows. Indeed, it is when cattle ruminate the food product of their fermentation methane. We speak of methanogenesis.

One third of methane in less

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania believe that by integrating the 3NOP to their diet, it is possible to reduce a third methane emitted by cows. The method was tested for three months on 48 Holstein dairy cows and has proven itself. Better, the effects have lasted beyond 12 weeks test.

One option that could be developed soon, especially since this treatment of food has no effect on the a priori organization cows, their food intake or the quality of milk produced. On the contrary, the milk contain more protein and lactose. As for the methane emitted despite everything, he can always use Fuel for aircraft .

Windows 10: Microsoft’s putsch against your default browser – Le Point

While Microsoft celebrates the 14 million installations of Windows 10 in just 24 hours, a controversy darken the festivities. The CEO of Mozilla, Chris Beard, wrote an open letter to his counterpart at Microsoft, Satya Nadella to demand respect for user choice for their Internet browsing. Indeed, during the upgrade to Windows 10, Microsoft decided to replace the default browser selected by the user (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) by its new browser home. Edge

Firefox editor is sickened by this maneuver, intended to replace in his user choice “by that of Microsoft.” If it is possible to preserve its default preferences, the scenario of the installation “has been modified to make the operation less instinctive and more complicated,” and “we must now more than twice as many clicks” to order Windows to keep the favorite browser, denounced Chris Beard.

Imposing Edge

We conducted several installations of Windows 10, and it is true that we have systematically lost preferences for certain software default (this also includes the photo viewer, for example), without ever seeing option to preserve them. Things are so unclear that Mozilla has published a guide to find his default browser, if you upgrade to Windows 10 was “crushed”.

Meanwhile, Microsoft defends itself by asserting during and after the upgrade, “users can easily choose their default browser.” “If we have returns that show that improvements are possible, we will make them,” says a spokesman. Microsoft has a heavy liability controversies with browsers: eg he had been convicted in Europe for imposing Internet Explorer in Windows, decision following which Windows users had seen (finally) to a screen of “browser choice “when you first start.

Before the rise of Firefox and Chrome, Microsoft had decided to reform its development teams in Internet Explorer, which worked hard to offer today New Edge browser built into Windows 10. If Edge is much more modern and standards compliant Internet Explorer, this is not an excuse for Microsoft imposes by using its virtual hegemony over the systems PC operating. The success would be good to Edge if users did the approach of themselves …

Nanterre Criminal Court specifies that it should appear “in 2016″ “for two offenses of aggravated intentional violence”.

The investigating judges in their order issued Thursday does not reclassify the case as homicide but “aggravated violence” following the various testimonies that has provided the couple, during the hearings.

The couple of events of that night two different versions:. It maintains that during an argument violent Thomas Vergara was injured only with the knife. He ensures that the coup was “involuntary”. But none of these versions is credible, according to the prosecution. On the basis of expertise, “the investigating judges and we felt that the blow was deliberate.”

In late June, the prosecutor of Nanterre had already indicated he wanted the return of the young woman in court.

Placed in custody in November 2014 and indicted for “attempted murder” and “voluntary violence aggravated” Nabilla had been remanded in custody, the Prison for Women Versailles, for five semaines.D’ici this trial, today announced the young woman remained under judicial control, notably with the ban coming into contact with Thomas Vergara, even through social networks, and discuss the case in the media ..

Aggression Thomas Vergara: Nabilla be tried for violence and not for homicide – TF1

The reality TV starlet Nabilla Benattia, suspected of stabbing twice his companion Thomas Vergara, was referred to the Criminal Court Nanterre when it should appear “in 2016″ “for two aggravated offenses of willful violence”, said prosecutors told AFP Friday.

“The intention of homicide was not accepted” by the judges in their order issued Thursday, said the prosecutor.

An exit far from unnoticed since the couple would have had an argument with a lady of about fifty years. If Thomas and Nabilla deny that it was on the scene at the time of the incident, surveillance cameras prove the presence of the star of the cinema that day, according to information from M6 Info.

Google does not want to apply the “right to oblivion” in the world – The World

Le Monde | 30/07/2015 at 6:26 p.m. • Updated 07/31/2015 to 9:44 | By Martin Untersinger

Google does not agree with the Commission National Data and French (CNIL). In a note published Thursday, July 30 on the European blog search engine, it asks the CNIL, the French authority in charge of data protection, not to apply the controversial “right to be forgotten” – that we should rather call right to dereference. – on all its versions and confined him to his only European versions

The right to dereference has been recognized by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU ) in spring 2014. According to the Luxembourg Court, a user can ask Google not to display information in its search results “inadequate, or no longer relevant or excessive” on the (outdated information , abusive web pages, etc.).

Google, although contesting the validity of the decision, quickly set up a form and team to process applications, which were quick pouring. Now a user can request that information about the no longer appears when entering his name in a search engine. This mechanism is confined to European versions of the search engine: information may be redacted when entering eg the name of a person on Google.fr, but appear when the research is done on Google.com

.

Read the story: How Google applies the “right to be forgotten ‘in Europe

This distinction has been denounced repeatedly by the CNIL, to the extent that the latter sent at least June, an injunction to the American search engine. According to the CNIL, the decision of the ECJ requires the search engine to remove the offending information of all search results, not just those resulting from research on a European version of the engine.

For Google, which calls CNIL withdrew his injunction, it is a logic that “may have serious disincentives” on the web.

“If the right to be forgotten is now the norm in Europe, this is not the case worldwide. There are countless cases where what is illegal in one country is not in another. This approach represents a race to the bottom: in the end, the Internet would be just as free as the least free place in the world. “

The search engine believes that ” no country should have the power to control the content that someone in another country, can access “ and highlights as in the French case, extend the right to dereference a global scale would be “disproportionate” , since “the vast majority of Internet users are using a European version of the engine Research “.

In response, the CNIL has announced it ” watching the arguments and [answer] this action within the period legal to two months. ” It also reserves “the possibility of a repressive phase” . In case of sanction, Google must pay a fine of up to 150,000 euros.

Google had until July 30 to comply with the injunction of the Commission or challenge it. A CNIL is now reported that Google’s request will be reviewed and a response will be given within two months. After this period, if Google’s arguments are rejected, the CNIL will begin a Phase repressive

Android again victim of a flaw … – ZDNet France

Tough week for Android. Trend Micro Announces discovered a new flaw that allows this time to make the non-functional phone. Earlier this week, the Stagefright case had already shaken the aura of Google. No patch is yet available.

When this flaw is exploited successfully, the phone equipped with Android becomes silent. More alerts messages over bells. Nothing. Then the phone flu, gradually and stops. The flaw “is caused by an integer overflow when the mediaserver service analyzes a MKV file. He reads the buffer memory or writing data to the NULL address when audio analysis “Trend Micro analysis.

” The vulnerability lies in the mediaserver service, which is used by for Android indexes media files that are located on the Android device. This service can not properly handle a malformed video file using the Matroska container (usually with the extension. Mkv). When the process opens a malformed MKV file, the service may crash (and with it the rest of the operating system), “said Trend Micro.

This vulnerability can be exploited by tricking a user to visit an infected website or by downloading a syphilitic her application. Android versions affected by this flaw to run Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) to Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop).

Trend Micro discreetly informed Google in May, but the company does would not otherwise classified this vulnerability a “low priority vulnerabilities,” according to Trend Micro. Consequence: no patch has been published. Trend Micro now therefore take the lead and make public this fault, hoping that Google has the same reactivity with Stagefright. And Trend Micro certainly benefits to publicize its solutions, which of course, protect complications from Google.

Right to be forgotten: Google defies France – Le Figaro

The US company said “no” to the injunction of the CNIL, the French Data Commision French and freedoms, to extend the ‘right to be forgotten’ to all versions of its search engine. CNIL has two months to bring its response.

This is a “no” firm and final. In a message posted on Thursday, Google says it has no intention to extend the right to the European oblivion to all versions of its site, as requested by CNIL since June 12 Sure to be within its rights despite the formal notice sent by the French authority of protection of privacy, Google remains stuck to his guns. European decisions apply to Europe and not beyond.

Since a judgment of the EU Court of Justice issued in May 2014, Europeans can ask the search engine remove links when the results are “inadequate, or no longer relevant or excessive”. Google has received some 290,000 applications, of which 60,000 in France, covering more than one million Internet addresses. Its teams will then charge to assess the relevance of the request, they can reject it.

The conflict between Google and the CNIL door on the perimeter withdrawals. When comply, the search engine removes the links on European versions of its pages (.fr, .es, .co.uk, etc.), and not on the global release (.com), and those of countries outside Europe. However, according to the French authorities, “the delisting to be effective, should cover all extensions.”

Google does not hear it that way. The search engine considers that such a provision would be “disproportionate and unnecessary.” Only 3% of French people search without using the local version of the engine, it should be recalled at Google. The measure would also not provide for the judgment and ECJ would be dangerous, since it would also lead to remove links in Europe, if the right to be forgotten were to be spent in other countries. This would result in a decline in freedom of expression online, Google fears that therefore wishes to withdraw the notice of the CNIL.

The French authority considers these arguments “for a share of political” and said that it relied on the contrary “on a strictly legal reasoning”. CNIL has two months to bring its response. Opening a litigation phase could lead to a search engine penalty under the “Data Protection” law. Google has already been convicted in the past for its information collection practices as part of its Street View program or about its privacy policy. CNIL had, however, every time, support in other European countries.

Fat is the taste, the taste is the fat – The Obs

If the bold , which gives them flavor to so many dishes that we enjoy, was a taste in itself, just as the savory , sweet , acid e and bitter ? This is what qu’estiment US researchers.

This new flavor should be called “ oleogustus ” Latin oleo (oily) and gustus (taste), explained the scientists from Purdue University (Indiana), whose study is published in the British journal Chemical Senses .

In an attempt to identify the unique flavor fatty acids, Richard Mattes science professor of nutrition and lead author of this work has used a hundred participants to whom he asked to rate the taste compared to basic tastes . All felt that the taste fat was different from those of other samples tested, some judging the bitter, irritating or unpleasant.

A pleasant taste in small doses …

“ The taste of these fatty acids itself is not pleasant and when their concentration is high in foods, there is a rejection phenomenon , “notes Professor Mattes. “ But “, he continues, “ in low doses , the taste of these fatty acids can enhance the flavor as the bitter substances can give an exquisite touch to wine, coffee or chocolate . “

In addition to the salty, sweet, acid and bitter, the “umami” is already considered a fifth taste . Identified in the early twentieth century Japan, this flavor which means “ great taste ” is induced by glutamate, and present in Parmesan, very ripe tomato, or dried bonito. He will soon be the sixth bold taste?

Privacy: why Windows 10 makes some wince users – FranceTV info

By FranceTV info

Updated 07.30.2015 | 6:16 published on 30.07.2015 | 6:16

“Through the computer, in nearly 80% of French households, Microsoft implements a mass of citizens spying, and so violates their privacy. “ Marine Le Pen warned the National Commission on Informatics and Liberties (CNIL), in an open letter published Wednesday, July 29. The president of the National Front asked to ensure the protection of personal data of PC users, on the occasion of the release of the operating system (OS) Windows 10.

The specialized site TorrentFreak has himself published several articles (like this one or this one), to call the future users of Windows 10 to be vigilant. So nothing to worry about? Should we

Why Windows 10 he exchange policy?

The Windows 10 update has substantially changed the “Microsoft Privacy Statement” and the “service contract” group. The overall idea is to transform the old Windows software in a scalable service, which updates will be automatic. Much like Google does with its various services on the internet but offline and directly to your desktop. “Microsoft will be at his home,” summarizes Numerama.

Microsoft What information does he collect?

The personal data which Windows 10 has access and wants to share are numerous. Numerama draws up a thick list. Remember that a minima “synchronization settings” with Microsoft servers provide data to suck “installed apps from the Windows Store, language preferences, your account picture, your wallpaper, the settings for your mouse, different dictionaries “ and especially ” the history of your browser, your bookmarks, and websites you open “.

Microsoft also states that “to provide a customized voice recognition, we record the entry of your voice, and your name and nickname, recent events from your calendar and the names of people with whom you have an appointment, and your contact information, including their names and nicknames. ”

What do these data will be used?

All this has not only meant to help Microsoft improve its service to better meet your expectations. The group wants to sell the information obtained to third parties through a unique process. “Windows generates a unique advertising identifier for each user of a device, says the company Your advertising identifier can be used by application developers and ad networks to deliver more relevant ads. “

Although Windows 10 is just out of cardboard, we already know in part what form should advertise on your PC. For example it is question of commercial messages on your screen saver, according to The Verge ( in English ), or on the legendary Solitaire game, according to Business Insider ( in English ). Microsoft propose to charge ten euros a year to remove advertising from the window when you play.

Do you have the possibility to refuse such collection?

The process is tricky, but the option exists. We must be careful when installing Windows 10, reports TorrentFreak, which has been testing the OS and publishes screenshots of the maneuver. “On one of the screens face a discreet link entitled ‘customization settings’, which displays options related to information that is likely to be transmitted to Microsoft. These are enabled by default. “ If you want, you can disable them, even after you install Windows 10.

Is this a step backwards in terms of confidentiality?

Yes and no. On the one hand, Microsoft actually trying to learn more and more about you, and do not hesitate to sell its information. You believe that your PC was a little closed universe in your bedroom or your living room? It will not be the case … On the other, it must be recognized that the group shows more listening to its customers and other IT giants. Not only because it allows (for now, at least) to users to refuse such collection, a modality that most online services do not offer internet users, as explained in the web documentary Do Not Track.

But also because Windows 10 does not advance (really) hidden. “To be fair to Microsoft an effort that we had never seen before, in line with European legislation, details on the data collected and the use that is made, concedes Numerama. This is still sometimes improved, but much better than the blur found in the conditions of Google, for example. ” In other words, the client knows what to expect, but at least, he warned.

Microsoft. Fresh start with Windows 10 – Ouest-France

Users of versions of Windows 7 and 8 in 190 countries began to be “informed by waves for their free upgrade” , pending the gradual arrival in stores using new devices the new software, said in a statement the US computer group.

He did not disclose immediately the number of updates made by consumers, which should have registered in advance in order to install Windows 10 on Wednesday on their devices.

Reservations millions

“Tens of millions of people have booked and we are serving when we speak, in France, Asia , which has already begun “, and in nearly 190 countries, however, said the president of Microsoft France, Alain Crozier, in an interview broadcast on BFM Business.

“This is the first time we try to make such a deployment but for now, all is well, there is a lot of interest” is insured for its part a spokesman for the group, while warning that “it will take time” to update the 1.5 billion devices using Windows.

Objective: 2018

Five million users have already been able to test a beta version of Windows 10, but Microsoft has set a goal of having a billion devices equipped by 2018.

While some spoke some bugs or complained installation time, the specialized press reviews were generally positive Wednesday.

“New Era”

The event was marked by gatherings of “fans” organized by Microsoft in several cities around the world including Sydney and Beijing, as well as in some of the shops selling its products. The CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, has himself followed the initial deployment from Africa, where he posted a video on his Twitter account. “Alarm in Nanyuki, Kenya, for the start of Windows 10 … inspired here by students and educators” , he said.

In an interview broadcast Wednesday on the BBC, Mr Nadella said that Windows 10 “was not just a new version (operating system), but the beginning of a new era “.

Betting

Microsoft Windows 10 with big plays, especially after the failure of predecessor Windows 8 that was supposed to mark its entry into the mobile, but was shunned by consumers and especially by companies.

Errors are repaired, including the reintroduction of very symbolic “start menu”, whose disappearance had baffled many longtime Windows users.

Digital Additions

Windows 10 also hopes to attract with new features such as biometric identification or a virtual assistant, Cortana.

Above all, he wants universal, as adapted to the PC to the smartphone via the Xbox video game console or virtual reality goggles.

Walking is high

For many analysts, this will however not be enough to catch up to Apple and Google, whose operating systems, iOS and Android, now dominate the mobile market.

“Microsoft lost the war of smartphones” , believes Ian Fogg, an analyst at research firm IHS Technology.

He said the US group has understood and has also adapted its strategy to reflect this, especially when “proposes its key applications like Office or Halo for systems Operating smartphone rivals “.

PCs gloomy

If it does not do any miracle to Microsoft in Mobile, Windows 10 could perhaps give some energy to the PC market, the sales were down for more than three years.

It will not motivate consumers alone to buy a computer, but “the hype surrounding Windows 10, advertising campaigns and marketing will bring a welcome focus on client PC” , Judge Craig Stice, another analyst IHS. Above all, it should convince businesses, “even though these markets typically wait 12-18 months to renew (their devices), waiting to be sure that all bugs are resolved” .

With Windows 10, Microsoft wants to forget the failure of Windows 8 – The Point

BUTNER? July 29, 2015 – The 10 to forget the 8. Microsoft out to conquer PC users after the colossal failure experienced by the eighth edition of its operating system. Place today in Windows 10, a system designed for both PC, tablet and smartphone. And will be available free for owners of previous versions. And to do that, Microsoft puts forward new applications. Among them, the voice assistant Cortana and Edge browser, which should eventually ringardiser the venerable Internet Explorer.
Remains to be seen if Windows 10 also happen to forget its predecessor.
