Росія не має права на Крим – Тіллерсон

0

NewsHubРосійська Федерація незаконно провела анексію півострова Крим, а Сполучені Штати Америки повинні були більш жорстко відповідати на подібні дії Москви.
Про це заявив кандидат на посаду держсекретаря США Рекс Тіллерсон на сенатських слуханнях із затвердження його кандидатури, новину передає « Преса України ».
Він заявив, що дії Російської Федерації в Криму є незаконними, оскільки вона відібрала територію, яка їй не належить. Крім того, він розкритикував дії Кремля в Донецькій і Луганській областях.
« Росія не має права на Крим. Це було захоплення території, яка не належить їм », – заявив він.
Тіллерсон вважає, що після анексії півострова Крим Україні треба було сконцентрувати всі свої сили на сході країни, щоб давати відсіч російським агресорам. У свою чергу Сполучені Штати Америки, на думку Тіллерсона, повинні були надати Україні інформацію розвідки, забезпечити повний моніторинг кордонів, а також надати іншу допомогу.
Тіллерсон заявив, що США повинні були дати жорстку відповідь російським агресорам на сході України. Він додав, що дії Росії на сході України були наслідком того, що адміністрація Барака Обами не відреагувала належним чином на незаконну анексію півострова Крим.
Нагадаємо, раніше повідомлялося , що кандидат на посаду голови Державного департаменту Сполучених Штатів Америки Рекс Тіллерсон заявив, що російський президент Володимир Путін міг особисто віддавати накази про втручання у вибори в США.

Клінтон не ставилася б до нього суворіше, – Трамп про майбутні відносини з Путіним

0

NewsHubПро це заявив обраний президент США Дональд Трамп на прес-конференції, передає Еспресо. TV.
На запитання про особисте втручання президента Росії Володимира Путіна у результати виборів президента США, Трамп відповів:
« Ви гадаєте, що таке можливо, щоб Володимир Путін обрав президента США? Таке неможливо, тому що у нас дуже погані відносини наразі ».
Водночас він додав, що не може сказати, що у нього складуться гарні стосунки з Путіним, а про Клінтон заявив:
« І ви гадаєте, що Хілларі Клінтон була б набагато суворішою з Путіним?  »
Також Трамп підкреслив, що жодних стосунків з Росією, ні угод, ні контрактів у нього немає.
« Але якщо Путіну подобається Дональд Трамп, я вважаю це здобутком, а не проблемою », – сказав він.

Windows Essentials 2012 is finally dead

0

NewsHubMicrosoft Windows Essentials 2012 has been among us for quite some time now. But as the company has been warning for some time , the suite of apps was slated to be gone by January 10, 2017.
January 10 has passed and we now know the link to download the installation file is no longer available at the Windows Essentials download page. But in case you have it already installed on your machine, Microsoft has stated that nothing will change and the suite of apps will still work as it has until now. Unfortunately, the company warns that the lack of support means an increased security risk over time.
Also, Microsoft has shared a list of recommended alternatives to those users who want to leave Windows Essentials 2012 behind, as follows:
As spotted by Thurrott, there are still two unofficial ways to download the installation files directly from Microsoft, even though there aren’t any guarantees of how long they will still be available.
Install Windows Essentials 2012 over the web or use the offline installer .

FarmLogs raises $22 million to make agriculture a more predictable business

0

NewsHubAnn Arbor, Michigan-based FarmLogs has raised $22 million in a Series C round of funding for technology that helps farmers monitor and measure their crops, predict profits, manage risks from weather and pests and more. Naspers Ventures led the round, joined by the company’s earlier backers Drive Capital , Huron River Ventures , Hyde Park Venture Partners, SV Angel and individual investors including Y Combinator president Sam Altman.
According to CEO and co-founder of FarmLogs Jesse Vollmar, the company has invested heavily in satellite imagery and data since it graduated from the Y Combinator accelerator in 2012. It develops predictive models on top of that raw data to help farmers “program” their fields, Vollmar says.
“We analyze fields all around the U. S. all season long. We can highlight and alert farms when we see a problem developing, and send them out to examine and fix things they never would have caught on the ground. It’s all thanks to a multi-year history of performance satellite imagery,” he explained.
In one recent case, FarmLogs was able to help farmers who knew their neighbors were experiencing grasshopper infestations to pinpoint the bugs in their own massive operation, and stop the pests from spreading. In another typical case, FarmLogs users can see if an irrigation system has stopped working properly and part of their field is over- or under-watered, then go out and fix the system before washing away expensive inputs, like fertilizers or organic pesticides.
Vollmar grew up in a farming community and working for the family business, an organic corn farm. His company has focused on row crops, including corn and soybeans, which make up the bulk of agricultural production in the U. S. Vollmar said farmers like the company’s mobile app and website because it gives them access to data science without having to buy and install a bunch of new high-tech gear in their fields. FarmLogs works with all matter of data gathered from the farm equipment that agronomists do use, however, including tractors and other heavy equipment built by John Deere, Holland, Case Corporation and others.
FarmLogs, which employs about 70 full-time, plans to use the new round of capital for further hiring, and to make its technology known to even more row-crop farmers. With the funding round, Naspers Ventures’ head of U. S. investments, Mike Katz, will join FarmLogs board of directors.
The company’s main competition comes from Monsanto-owned Climate Corp. and its Climate FieldView application.

A new Office Insider Preview build is available for Windows – here's what's new

0

NewsHubMicrosoft today announced a new build of Office 2016 for members of the Insider Program that are on the Slow ring. It’s build 7628.2048, but the version number is 1612, which indicates that it would be released last month in December. In fact, it’s even called the December update.
The company didn’t release an Office Insider build for Windows last month, so it’s probably just running a bit behind. Here’s the full changelog:
Despite the announcement being about the Windows build, the company also plugged its new Visio Viewer app for iPhone and iPad, which allows you to view your diagrams in « high fidelity ».
To sign up for Office Insider, open any Office app and go to File -> Account -> Office Insider. If that sounds a little fast-paced for you, don’t worry, as this update will likely roll out to Production within a couple weeks.

JetBlue completes its rollout of Fly-Fi, with free high-speed Wi-Fi on all planes

0

NewsHubJetBlue today announced that it has officially completed its fleet-wide rollout of Fly-Fi , bringing free wireless internet to all of its planes. The carrier first introduced the service in late 2013, bringing speeds of around 12 to 15Mbps — far surprising the wireless offerings available on other domestic flights at the time.
Along with installation on all of its planes, JetBlue has also been adding in-flight streaming service partners, including Amazon Video, part of a partnership between the two companies that lets non-Prime members shop through Amazon’s offerings, while Prime members get access to the usual content. A pretty good way for Amazon to get its hands on a captive audience.
The Wi-Fi offering also gives users the ability to stay connected from the gate to the plane, and vice versa — doing away with the standard airline cruising altitude requirement to fire up the wireless service. It’s night and day from the sluggish and pricey options offered by airlines that rely on third-party services like Gogo, where in-flight passes often cost around $19.
As the carrier also handily notes, it also helped pioneer the now-standard back-of-the-seat TV sets in domestic airlines.

Tillerson: US must 'compel' China to crack down on North Korea

0

NewsHubSecretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson on Wednesday called for the United States to « compel » China to implement international sanctions on North Korea.
« If China is not going to comply with those UN sanctions, then it’s appropriate for the United States to consider actions to compel them to comply, » Tillerson said during his Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing.
Chinese willingness to implement sanctions on North Korea, a rogue regime with a nuclear weapons program, has long been a point of contention for international negotiators. With the support of the Chinese government, the United Nations recently imposed a new round of sanctions on North Korea, following a spate of weapons tests.
But the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement following that sanctions vote that seemed to imply they perceived a loophole in the sanctions package. « Resolution 2321 formulates new measures, showing the resolve of the Security Council, and also points out they must avoid creating adverse consequences for North Korean civilian and humanitarian needs, and are not intended to create negative effects on normal trade, » Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in December.
Subscribe today to get intelligence and analysis on defense and national security issues in your Inbox each weekday morning from veteran journalists Jamie McIntyre and Jacqueline Klimas.
In 2016, China purchased millions of tons of coal from North Korea, in apparent defiance of earlier sanctions, citing an exemption for « the people’s well-being, » according to Reuters.
Tillerson offered U. S. tolerance of China’s failure to implement the sanctions as an example of a broader failure in American foreign policy.
« I think a lot of our troubles today are that we do not enforce, we make commitments, we say we’re going to do something, and then we do not enforce it, » he said. « I think we have to be clear-eyed as to how far China will go and not get overly optimistic as to how far they’ll go. And that’s why, ultimately, it’s going to require a new approach with China in order for China to understand our expectations of them, going beyond certainly what they have in the past, which has fallen short.  »
When Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., asked about « secondary sanctions » to be imposed on « Chinese entities » that deal with North Korea, Tillerson said such moves would have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. « To the extent that there are specific violations of the sanctions, such as the purchase of coal — which is specifically mentioned in the UN sanctions most recently — if there are gaps of enforcement, they have to be enforced, » he said.
« I don’t think it’s going to be quick, and I certainly don’t think it’s going to be easy, » Hoyer added.
CNN accused Trump of conflating its own more general reporting on the documents with BuzzFeed’s reporting.

Handball-WM im Internet: Ich guck' Sponsoren-TV

0

NewsHubHat gar nicht weh getan. Auch ohne ARD und ZDF in der ersten Reihe. Seit Mittwochabend präsentiert die Deutsche Kreditbank AG (DKB), die den Deutschen Handballbund sponsort, auf der Internetseite handball.dkb.de und auf Youtube Spiele der Handball-WM in Frankreich. Los ging es um 20 Uhr 45 mit dem Eröffnungsspiel Frankreich – Brasilien, kommentiert von Handball-Experte Uwe Semrau. Ein Name, an denen sich öffentlich-rechtliche Zuschauer/Sportfans erst gewöhnen müssen.
An die Übertragung nicht. Ein Spiel ist ein Spiel ist ein Spiel. Egal, wer hier wen sponsort. Kein großes Gedöns vorher und hinterher, Handball pur. Der Livestream begann fünf, sechs Minuten vor Spielbeginn mit dem Einlauf der Mannschaften in der Pariser Arena und endete ein paar Minuten nach Spielende mit Impressionen aus der Halle. Oben rechts im Bild natürlich als Dauer-Einblendung, dort, wo sonst das Erste steht: das Logo der Kreditbank. In der Pause: Ruhe, Hallen-Atmo, ein paar Szenen aus der ersten Halbzeit. Wo die ARD sonst (jedenfalls vor 20 Uhr) reichlich Werbung bringt.
Wer sich schon das eine oder andere Fußballspiel beim neuen Sportstreamingdienst dazn.com oder bei Youtube mit dem Smartphone angeschaut hat, kommt mit dem kleineren Bildschirm klar, weitestgehend ruckelfrei.
Auch mit dem unaufgeregten Kommentar von Uwe Semrau, einstmals bei Sport1. Der Mann war bestens vorbereitet – die großen Namen der Franzosen, die unbekannten der Brasilianer, das letzte Zusammentreffen der beiden Länder bei der WM – bezeugte Fachwissen bei kniffligen Entscheidungen, die es im Handball zuhauf gibt. Ein Co-Kommentator oder Experten à la Stefan Kretzschmar sind nicht vonnöten. Einziges Manko dieser Übertragung: Das Spiel war langweilig, schnell entschieden, Favorit Frankreich haushoch überlegen, Endergebnis 31:16. Dafür kann die Bank nichts.
Vorher hatte es ja wegen der Rechte-Vergane reichlich Ärger gegeben, d er Deutsche Handballbund (DHB) erst mal das katarische Netzwerk beIN Sports attackiert. „Dieser Rechteinhaber ist wirklich ein Ärgernis“, sagte DHB-Präsident Andreas Michelmann. Nationalspieler Tobias Reichmann monierte obendrein, dass sich der Weltverband IHF trotz der Probleme offenbar nicht eingeschaltet habe. „Vor zwei Jahren haben wir noch eine Wildcard für die WM bekommen, weil Deutschland angeblich so wichtig für den Handball ist. Jetzt kommt kein Wort vom IHF“, sagte der Rechtsaußen der Deutschen Presse-Agentur.
Warum auch? Ein totaler Blackout sieht anders aus. ARD und ZDF sind draußen, besser im Netz als nirgends, und wie oft haben wir uns schon über das überbordende Experten-Geplapper bei Sportevents via ARD und ZDF aufgeregt, ganz zu schweigen davon, dass es Zeiten gab, wo die ARD vollkommen unkritisch Tour de France übertrug.
Einen deutschen TV-Kommentar gibt es bei dieser Handball-WM allerdings erst wieder am Freitag, um 17 Uhr 45, beim ersten Spiel der deutschen Mannschaft gegen Ungarn, auch wieder via Youtube. Neben dem Eröffnungsspiel werden nur die Halbfinalspiele und das WM-Finale von einem deutschen Kommentator am Mikrofon begleitet.
Bei Spielen ohne deutschen Kommentator hören die Zuschauer den englischen Kommentar des Signalgebers. Mehr Investition in dieses Turnier braucht/wagt die Bank, dieser ungewöhnliche Rundfunkbetreiber, nicht. Was soll’s, manch’ einer stellt bei Sportübertragungen eh den Ton ab..
