French Biologist : Critical Earth in 2020

Human population worldwide is currently estimated approximately 7.2 billion people . The United Nations predicts the world population will be 9.6 billion people by 2050 . Amount swollen human population was not comparable to the current food production capacity . Humans are on the verge of extinction , if not immediately adapt and overcome the problem of food and the environment .

Gilles Boeuf , a professor of marine biology from the College de France , said the man would be extinct because it was unable to overcome the problems created by itself . " The cause of human extinction is not due to a meteorite fall , but if humans are able to adapt to itself , " said Boeuf told Tempo in Jakarta , 23 April 2014 .

Boeuf who also teaches at the University Pierre et Marrie Curie 's visit to Indonesia of 14 April to 3 May 2014 . He became speaker in a public lecture on biodiversity held at the French Institute and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences in Jakarta, Indonesia , April 15 . Boeuf also visited and gave lectures in several cities , such as Yogyakarta , Bogor , and Pontianak .

For thousands of years , according to Boeuf , humans are able to adapt to the surrounding environment . But he doubts humans could survive the drastic conditions of the population spike . " Humans can adapt in the past , but when the numbers are not as they are now . Then how the number seven billion like now ? " said Boeuf , who is President of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris .

Boeuf says humans are currently facing economic crisis , financial , and ecological as well . Human activities that exploit natural resources and pollute the environment excessively bring harm to nature conservation and biodiversity .

These conditions endanger the survival of diverse species , including humans . Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report in 2005 showed the rate of extinction of species jumped 300 times faster than the rate of evolution in the past .

Some scientists predict Earth will experience a critical period in 2040 . "In my opinion , the future will happen in 2020 , " said Boeuf . " Referring to the carbon emissions reduction scheme adopted countries today, the year 2020 will be the benchmark of success . "

Time , according to Boeuf , is the main enemy when dealing with issues of ecology , geology , paleontology , and evolution . A hundred years has been rapid in the scale of evolution , but long for human life . " Within a hundred years , forests in Kalimantan area of ​​88 million square kilometers may have been destroyed , " said Boeuf .

Boeuf said maintaining biodiversity is an important way for humans to survive . Teach the importance of biodiversity in children age 4-5 years , he said , they will grow into a generation that appreciates nature .

The government , according to Boeuf , also need to set aside money for environmental conservation . Create a budget to do their own research , he suggests , do not just wait from strangers . " We can help you , but you must do it yourself with the scientists themselves . "

With so is expected to help reduce the potential for accidents due to distractions while driving .

Since Apple automotive projects ( Car Play and Siri Eyes Free ) is applied to more vehicles last year , the company continued to boil series of in-car technology . A document found on Tuesday ( 22/4 ) Apple titled " iOS in the car " ( IOS in the car ) initiated a further system of iOS 7 . U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ( USPTO ) published Apple's U.S. Patent No. 8,706,143 entitled to patent " Lock the handheld computer device driver , " an intelligent system that will determine whether the user is in the driving status , and then close the phone functions will interfere with concentration .
( Read: burung kenari )

There are two main embodiment of the invention in this patent of Apple . First , concentrate on lock - out mechanism that does not require any input from the vehicle , instead use on-board sensors to determine when the user is driving . The second embodiment , the vehicle is able to send a blocking signal to the iPhone , which effectively stop users from receiving and sending text , or use any other smartphone functions when in the driving seat .

Without the input of the car , the iPhone relies on motion analysis and data from landscaping to trigger the lock - out mechanism . Mobile components ranging from the accelerometer , camera , light sensor , GPS catcher and other sensing components can be used to generate raw data .

Speed ​​motion analyzer component monitoring device so that when a certain limit is reached , an indication of a moving car . Data from the GPS and accelerometer iPhone also adds to the accuracy of the system, which can be used to see if the user was walking , running , or in a moving motor vehicle .

Working landscape analysis is more complicated , in some embodiments it requires the acquisition and to determine if the image of the holder when the device is in the operating area "safe " or "unsafe " . For example , the algorithm analyzer may find that user in the driver's seat by analyzing a photo or video that shows one face and the steering wheel . Alternatively , if the analyzer see two faces , one in the driver seat and one in the passenger seat , the owner of the device can be classified as being in the " safe zone . " Furthermore , the accelerometer can be used to make sure people who do not hold the device away from the cockpit the driver to avoid the analysis . After the introduction and a complete analysis of the data , lock - out mechanism can be activated according to predefined rules . For example , texting may be blocked if the holder is found driving .

The second embodiment is quite easy , the car communicates with the iPhone via RFID or radio signal is active . In this case , the ship sensors , wireless triggers fire - proximity bersensor or other devices that can communicate , blocking signals to the nearest phone , disable SMS and other annoying features .

Another important function of the Apple invention includes parental lock-out function which disables features that can be selected smartphone users related , via certain locking or phone . There is no information about whether Apple intends to incorporate a lock- out function to a future version of iOS , otherwise this feature is also no mention was made in the introduction CarPlay . As mentioned in the patent document , such a mechanism would be the " key to significant sales in the eyes of parents are concerned , and could lead to new legislation requiring all handheld computing devices to disable texting while driving . "

Apple handheld device locking patent was first filed in 2008 and granted credit on behalf of John Greer Elias as the inventor .

Status tanah di kawasan lindung dan resapan air di kawasan Puncak, Kabupaten Bogor, itu hanya Hak Pakai (HP). BPN Kabupaten Bogor memastikan tidak akan pernah menerbitkan sertifikat tanah di kawasan puncak, terutama untuk wilayah Kecamatan Cisarua dan Megamendung.

"Kami hanya bisa mengeluarkan sertifikat Hak Pakai untuk lahan pertanian dan perkebunan, yang jangka waktu pakainya hanya 10 tahun, dan lahan tersebut tidak boleh digunakan untuk nonpertanian," kata Kepala Seksi Pengaturan dan Penataan Pertanahan BPN Kabupaten Bogor, Wijoyo Budi Karyo dalam seminar Peringatan Hari Bumi yang digelar Konsorsium Peduli Puncak, Selasa (22/4).

"Di sini bariyak biyong (makelar) tanah yang bermain, karena para pemilik vila tersebut membeli tanah dari perantara dangan alasan status tanah merupakan eks atau bekas lahan perkebunan dan yang sertifikatnya dapat diurus menjadi HGU bahkan sertifikat hak milik," katanya.

Di tempat yang sama, Peneliti dari Pusat Pengkajian Perencanaan dan Pengembangan Wilayah (P4W) Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), Ernan Rustandi, mengatakan, untuk menata dan membenahi kawasan puncak, tidak hanya cukup dengan membongkar bangunan dan vila liar, tapi juga harus mengusut semua oknum yang melakukan jual beli tanah milik negara.
