Faisant pleinement usage de la technologie de montage haute densité, Casio a développé le module le plus fin à ce jour pour une montre-chronographe solaire G-SHOCK. Pour répondre à la toute nouvelle structure antichoc requise par ce nouveau module mince, Casio offre une structure Dual Core Guard encore plus avancée. La structure de protection nouvellement conçue protège le module avec un boîtier en résine renforcée de carbone et encercle l’extérieur avec des composants métalliques, en conservant l’apparence et la texture du métal tout en réduisant le poids et en protégeant davantage le module grâce à un fond de boîtier doté de côtés surélevés.

Des procédés répétés de pressage, de découpe et de polissage sont appliqués pour fabriquer un fond en acier inoxydable qui présente une saillie vers le haut sous forme 3D. Les côtés surélevés protègent la couronne et les boutons et servent de pattes de fixation pour le bracelet. Toutes ces conceptions et technologies innovantes ont permis de créer une montre en métal avec un boîtier de seulement 12,1 mm qui est extrêmement confortable à porter.

Sur le plan fonctionnel, la MTG-B3000 dispose d’un calibrage radiocommandé et de la connectivité Smartphone Link au moyen de Bluetooth®. La montre se connecte à l’application smartphone CASIO WATCHES dédiée pour s’ajuster automatiquement à l’heure exacte. Elle est également équipée d’un système de charge solaire et d’un éclairage LED haute luminosité pour plus de confort et une plus grande facilité d’utilisation.

Aussie Cameron Smith captures Players Championship near adopted Jacksonville home

Published by
Orlando Sentinel

PONTE VEDRA BEACH , Fla. — Cameron Smith hails from Australia but calls Jacksonville home. A flight of more than 18 hours from his native Brisbane limits visits with his family to twice a year in the best of times. The pandemic put even more time and distance between the Smiths. But the 2022 Players Championship winner rose to the occasion Monday to deliver the PGA Tour’s ultimate prize during a long-awaited reunion with his “mum” Sharon and sister Melanie nearly 2½ years in the making. A one-shot victory over India’s Anirban Lahiri at 13-under 275 left Smith fighting back tears. The 28-year-o… Continue reading “Aussie Cameron Smith captures Players Championship near adopted Jacksonville home”

UN launches biodiversity talks on deal to protect nature

PARIS— UN biodiversity negotiations began in Geneva on Monday to hammer out a global deal to better protect nature that is due for approval later this year.

Almost 200 countries are due to adopt a global framework this year to safeguard nature by mid-century from the destruction wrought by humanity, with a key milestone of 30 per cent protected by 2030.

“The world is clearly eager for urgent action to protect nature,” said Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, executive secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, in a press release.

“And we have no time to spare. Together we must ultimately deliver a truly historic agreement that puts us firmly on the path to living in harmony with nature.”

Talks, which run from March 14 to March 29, will set the stage for a crucial United Nations COP 15 biodiversity summit, initially due to be held in Kunming, China in 2020 and postponed several times because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Geneva meeting will announce new dates for COP 15, which is currently slated for April to May but is expected to be delayed again.

According to several sources, the new dates envisaged are from the end of August to the beginning of September.

The CBD said the Geneva talks will play a crucial role in finalising an “ambitious transformative post-2020 framework” to be approved at COP15.

A draft of the document outlines some 20 targets for 2030, including the high-profile ambition to protect at least 30 percent of the Earth’s land and water habitats.

It also includes objectives on reducing the amount of fertilisers and pesticides discharged into the environment and cutting at least $500 billion per year of harmful subsidies.

In 2019, a report by UN biodiversity experts said one million species could disappear in the coming decades, raising fears the world is entering a sixth era of mass extinction in the last half-billion years.

Countries have failed to meet almost all the biodiversity targets set in 2010.

And now climate change is a growing threat that could compound all of these problems.

Last month, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that nine per cent of all the world’s species will likely be “at high risk” of extinction even if warming is capped at the ambitious Paris target of 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Former Central Africa militia head handed over to ICC

THE HAGUE— Chadian authorities on Monday handed over to the International Criminal Court a former Central African Republic militia leader accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the Hague-based court said.

Maxime Jeoffroy Eli Mokom Gawaka is suspected of crimes committed in 2013 and 2014 “in Bangui and other locations in the Central African Republic,” the ICC said in a statement.

One of the poorest countries in the world, the CAR spiralled into conflict in 2013 when president Francois Bozize was ousted by a rebel coalition called the Seleka, drawn largely from the Muslim minority.

The coup triggered a sectarian bloodbath between the Seleka and “anti-Balaka” forces, who were mainly Christian or animist.

Mokom was the leader of an “anti-Balaka” group.

In 2019, he became the country’s minister for disarmament and demobilisation.

The ICC has “found reasonable grounds” to suspect that Mokom, in his capacity as a “National Coordinator of Operations of the Anti-Balaka”, was responsible for crimes against humanity, including murder, torture, persecution and “enforced disappearance”, the court said in its statement.

On the war crimes front, he is suspected of, among other things, “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population” and an attack against humanitarian assistance personnel as well as enlisting fighters as young as 15.

“Mr Maxime Jeoffroy Eli Mokom Gawaka was surrendered to the International Criminal Court by the authorities of the Republic of Chad on account of an ICC warrant of arrest issued under seal on 10 December 2018,” the court said.

Late Monday the court tweeted that Mokom had arrived at the ICC Detention Centre in The Hague.

“The initial appearance of Mr Mokom … will take place in due course,” it said in its statement.

The ICC, which sits in The Hague, was created in 2002 to try individuals prosecuted for war crimes, crimes against humanity or acts of genocide.

Two former anti-Balaka leaders, Patrice-Edouard Ngaissona and Alfred Yekatom, are already on trial at the ICC.

An alleged Seleka leader will go on trial at the ICC in September to face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
