The annual transfer window began, but it's not even that of facilitators. In the wake of presidential elections, what are the directions of the various editorial radios and TVs that move the lines. At accounts, those that have failed to boost audiences draw conclusions for their leaders. Albert Ripamonti and just thanked the management of information in the chain i-TV. "Our peak audience was three years ago, before the arrival of Albert Ripamonti. Since we have been falling, "whispers one in the chain. It could be replaced by Celine Pigalle, editor of the Morning of Canal +.

Similarly, Arlette Chabot is moved away from the direction of information on Europe 1, the morning is worth it. Officially, Denis Olivennes, president of Europe 1, and Arlette Chabot agreed at the outset that the journalist would leave the station after the presidential election. But internally, we observe that the "information did not take off at election time, and hearings were held to entertainment."

His successor, Fabien Namias, who had learned his trade in the station of the Rue Francois I, returns after only two years at the helm of the political department of France 2. Thierry Thuillier, head of France Televisions essays, sees no downside: "It's part of the trade, he says. Namias Fabien spent two years here, it serves to further his career payday advance. That's fine. "Europe 1, which has undergone many changes over the past four years, could enjoy the arrival of a man who knows well the drafting and home.

The test of presidential

It is internally that France 2 could find his replacement. Bornstein Gilles, or St. Cricq Nathalie, who invented successfully "Words and deeds," could be promoted. But for Thierry Thuillier, who made the France 2 channel benchmark info, the focus is now elsewhere: "The major issues are now on the side of the economy and Europe and less than that of political . "Similarly, after France 2, Thierry Thuillier is determined to set the course for the info on France 3. And indeed, respecting the saying "we do not change the winning teams' media such as RTL, Radio France, France Televisions BFMTV or retain all their captain who provided effective coverage of political news in recent months . More complicated is the case of TF1 whose service info has pitched terribly wrong after the audience ratings of the presidential election. The first private channel hopes to catch up today with the handover.

As promised, the outer envelope of the future Jean-Bouin has already – in miniature – the air of Bird's Nest, the Beijing Olympic Stadium built for the 2008 Olympics. The enclosure doors of 20,000 seats, which will house the games of rugby players of Stade French ("exiles" for the moment Charléty) from the 2013-2014 season, were opened Thursday for the first route point site with the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe, the club president, Thomas Savare, and most players, curious to get a glimpse of their new lair. Everyone has been noted that the bleachers and steelwork is almost complete, while laying the panels cover the roof and the front is moving fast. Everything should be completed by March 2013.

"With a stage like this, it will be champions of France and Europe," commented Bertrand Delanoe. "This tool can only make us grow economically and sportingly, it will also allow us to more easily attract the best players," has for its part welcomed Thomas Savare.

"A work of art"

Rodrigo Roncero, the mainstay of Argentina, who will retire at the end of the season, it will be "the best rugby stadium in France and perhaps even in Europe." Captain and figurehead of the French stage, Pierre Rabadan is on him "great to have a place where almost everything – weight room, gymnasium, offices, restaurant, etc.. – Will be consolidated. "

Conceived as "a work of art" by the architect Rudy Ricciotti, the reconstruction of Jean-Bouin will cost a whopping 149 million euros. The price – considered exorbitant by the objectors – to equip the Paris team a tool worthy of his ambitions. "The old stadium, built in 1925, no longer met the requirements of comfort and safety: dilapidated changing rooms, lack of functionality of local medical and space news," explains a representative of the City. Public reception, too, was now outdated. "The capacity was 7,705 seats (12,000 counting standing room, Ed) of which only covered 4376, ticket sales and refreshments were in portables, there was no housing for the partners and the track athletics away the audience of players, "says the City. Much inconvenience to join soon be overtaken.

The scene is legendary: Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, eye to eye, to say goodbye. Then a detail: the famous American actor wears a trench coat of the British brand Burberry. It is this image of one of the last minutes of the film Casablanca, released in 1942, which is causing a standoff between the brand and the heirs of Humphrey Bogart.

They have filed a complaint this week against Burberry, alleging that it had used this image without their consent on Twitter and in the timeline of the brand on Facebook. "Burberry needed the permission of Bogart representatives to use the name of Humphrey Bogart," said the lawyer of the heirs, Michael O. Crain. The specific brand, meanwhile, have been contacted at least three times since last month by the heirs of the actor, who made a "significant financial request."

For Stephen Bogart, son of famous actor, Burberry has acted in a "disrespectful and incredibly disappointing cash advance no faxing." "They apparently believe that a shoe manufacturer has the right to make a commercial with Brad Pitt because he wears them when he made his mark jogging, (…) without asking, let alone obtain their permission." , is outraged he.

Burberry wants "to illustrate his story"

But Burberry defends itself and file its own complaint against the legatees of Bogart. She claims to have obtained permission to use the photo agency Corbis. Moreover, the image was not published in a context of "sale of goods," argued the brand, but "was intended to illustrate the long history, meaning and influence of Burberry clothes on society." Facebook page of Burberry and other rub shoulders with famous wore trench brand, like Robert Mitchum in Hang me high and short, George C. Scott Patton and Meryl Streep in Kramer against Kramer.

The output of the Kindle Fire turns to the correction for all other manufacturers of Android tablets. In February, just four months after its release, the tablet from Amazon in the U.S. represented over half of the market (54.4%), excluding iPad, according to data from comScore Institute released Thursday. His closest competitor was the Galaxy Tab by Samsung, whose share decreased from 23.8% to 15.4% in three months. Other models, such as Motorola Xoom, Asus and Toshiba AT100 Transformer, got only the crumbs.

These data, comScore estimated by using the number of tablets that connect to the Internet every month, have not been confirmed by Amazon. As usual, the maker of the Kindle Fire refuses to give precise sales figures, even if the indicators that are favorable to accumulate. His tablet is "being the best selling, most available and most desired" by customers on Amazon.com, he simply has to announce in the press release accompanying the publication of its quarterly results Thursday.

The excellent launch of Kindle Fire in the United States, the only country where it is sold to date, shows that the market shelves can extend far beyond the iPad. With its 7-inch screen diagonal (17.8 centimeters), its list of functions reduced to essentials (no 3G, no camera, no accelerometer), the Kindle is sold only Fire $ 199, two times less than the first iPad. At the point where we now ready to Apple intends to expand in this segment, by launching an iPad smaller and cheaper.

"Google has lost control of Android tablets"

Hollow, the success of the Kindle Fire also highlights the poor performance of other Android tablets before. Apple sold 35 million iPad last year, against 5,000,000 in 2011 for Samsung, its nearest competitor. The arrival of Amazon is not necessarily good news for Google. Fire Aboard The Kindle indeed deeply modified version of the Android system. "It's official: Google has lost control of the market for Android tablets," headlined the Thursday specialized site Business Insider.

For Amazon, this strategy is paying anyway. As there is already reached in the Kindle eBooks with classical Kindle Fire means it can sell more content in digital format, including films and television series. "Customers buy a lot of content, is seen particularly in North America with sales of cultural goods between the fourth and first quarter which is accelerating," explains the chief financial officer, Tom Szkutak.

Throughout the quarter, according to figures released Thursday, sales of cultural goods on Amazon increased 19% to $ 4.71 billion, while sales of other goods and electronics surged 43 % to 7.97 billion. The good surprise came from the profit, down 35% over the same period last year (130 million), but well above analysts' expectations. Friday, the action progressed over 15% at the opening of the NYSE.

The Lada 2107 was an evolution of the Lada 2101, which was partially a licensed copy of the Fiat 124 of 1966. It was produced in Russia since 1982 on the banks of the Volga in a huge industrial city called Togliatti, named after a founder of the Italian Communist Party, Togliatti. In the 1980s, he left the plant of AvtoVAZ over 700,000 cars per year.

Lada was born in Russia in June 1970, shaped by the automaker AvtoVAZ, and originally destined for the Soviet market.

Between the decades 1980-1990, the production of Lada was widely exported, up to 60%, primarily west of Europe, except the United States, only major country not to have imported the mark. Since this period, a total of over 18.5 million Lada labeled "Rivas" was recorded.

The term "Lada" meaning "boat" in old Russian, the brand has always been characterized by very basic equipment personal loan for poor credit. Its logo is also a Viking longship, echoing the supposed strength of his cars. But a key to the success of this car is its Soviet economic price: he had to rely Euro 2800 – with the aid of the state to offer the Lada 2107. Something to be looking at least the lack of comfort, and limited accessories offered the Lada 2107: a radio and a fan.

AvtoVAZ has already bet to replace the veteran by more modern models such as Kalina, Priora and Granta. While relying on the car "ultra-low cost" during the project with Renault, which owns 25% stake in AvtoVAZ.

Not only the Bank of France there is no crisis but it has quite widely. As a firefighter service in the euro area, as part of the federal European Central Bank, of course, have stepped up its activities last year. So it is about to transfer 3.4 billion euros to the state, whose accounts need it most.

The governor of the Banque de France, Christian Noyer on Friday gave details on the occasion of presenting the results of the institution in 2011. 2.014 billion euros will be paid under the corporation tax, what to add 877 million as a dividend to the State, the sole shareholder. And best of all, it will receive 530 million euros that will correspond to the "emission cap" (sic). This expression, smelling the nineteenth century when paper money took off, means the value of franc banknotes that have not been translated into euros at February 18, 2012, the legal deadline for such an exchange in France.

Our central bank, and ultimately its shareholders, thus benefits from the negligence of the French and tourists who kept their tickets now franc convertible. They are forever lost to their owners, except for numismatists.

"More revenue but also more risk"

But its prosperity, it must above all the inconsistencies of the governments themselves unable to control their finances. The sovereign debt crisis in Europe has indeed brought under the leadership of the ECB to intervene in markets. "Our balance sheet has increased significantly" from 481 to 709,000,000,000 euros (+47%), Christian Noyer said. But these extraordinary interventions of securities purchases are made at rates of efficiency than conventional refinancing operations of the banks money. "We have more income but also higher risk, and therefore the need to build reserves." He says.

The Bank of France has decided to include an allocation of 2.065 billion euros in "fund for general banking risks and regulated provisions", which amounts to nearly 10 billion if we add reserves and capital itself. These provisions have cut gross profit of the Bank which in turn "has reached a historic high, at 5.650 billion euros, up 25% compared to 2010," according to the official.

Bernard Thibault has decided on the name that he will present Tuesday to succeed him in 2013 at the head of the CGT. As expected, although he chose a woman … but not announced. Corroborating sources, his choice fell on Nadine Prigent, fifties, nurse and patron of the Federation of Health. A surprise. Bernard Thibault – who would not answer the Figaro had dismissed early due Nadine Prigent negative feedback when he suggested his name in 2011. The future ex-secretary general urged Agnes Naton, fifties also patron appreciated on Labour, the newspaper house, and retired from the Federation of Post. Before changing his mind Monday.

"Nobody understands this change," says an officer taken into confidence. Especially Naton Agnes seems more appreciated internally and Nadine Prigent. The latter "has no profile, is rigid and has little support," says a connoisseur of the house. Now she will face Eric Aubin, too fifties, head of the federation of construction and "Mr. Retreats" of the plant, praised by activists, backed by the largest federations (energy, chemicals, railway …) and speared mediatically at Woerth reform. A favorite … which does not Bernard Thibault. "It is a matter of principle and person, an expert understands. He did not like Eric Aubin began a campaign and doing everything to block his path. "Even if the secular change of designation rules.

"Learning Democracy"

The head of the CGT is indeed chosen has always proposed by the outgoing Secretary General, the confederal committee (NAC), the parliament of the plant which includes the leaders of the federations and territories. But Bernard Thibault has a grudge against the SCC since its members were obliged, in 2005, to call to vote "no" vote on the EU constitution while he would not take sides.

Come a new feeling bad shot, so he modified in 2010 the procedure for appointing his successor by integrating the Executive Board (EB), the central government composed of relatives chosen by him. These are its members and will propose Tuesday that a name that will be confirmed or not by the NCC May 30 "In a structure like the CGT, one does not belong: it is not a candidate, we are led by organizations", philosopher Éric Aubin. A relative finds that Bernard Thibault seeks "an ultimate coup": "He wants to force the hand of the NCC, which escapes with an EC decision is proficient." Unless this is a gamble to go to the last moment as the ultimate guardian of the unity and try to re-enlist for a fifth term

.

The psychodrama of the designation of the future head of the CGT will in any case to leave traces. "It'll be a hell of a mess and he is not sure that the CGT then reaches to congregate," predicts one expert, for which Thibault missed his exit. "The CGT is slowly learning of democracy, another nuance. This is the first time that the secretary general will not be recommended by the CPF. "

In fact, in 1999, Bernard Thibault, leader of the railroad strikes of 1995, was knighted by the Party. But the CGT has since cut the cord – although it has recently reversed its policy by calling for neutrality vote against Nicolas Sarkozy, half-word, for Jean-Luc Melenchon, supported by the PCF. "The choice for the head of the CGT is no longer imported the PCF. The candidates are positioning themselves and there are strategic issues that did not exist before, "says the specialist. The choice between a trade union opposition (Prigent line) or negotiation (Aubin option).

Airbus partners with Boeing. This is not a fiction but rather the reality since the last Summit Aviation held in Geneva in late March. On this occasion, the two rivals always have also announced their association with the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer to develop the use of biofuels. The day before, Airbus had announced to produce research-based biofuel … eucalyptus. A plant that will join other plants already used as a fuel, such as camelina, jatropha, algae, or even coconut. "We conduct research to develop sustainable aviation. So we decided, in collaboration with the airline Virgin Australia, to establish a sustainable chain of biofuel production in Eucalyptus in Australia for use in aeronautics, "said Frederic Eychenne, project manager new energy Airbus.  

Grown on arid land, the mallee, a species of eucalyptus, will be harvested and crushed every three to six years. The resulting biomass is then converted into hydrocarbon fuel can be used for airplanes. Through a pyrolysis process, the mallee is then transformed. "Overall, this is to burn biomass without oxygen (through a chemical process), to extract a basic product that will eventually be processed to obtain biofuel. He will then have to mix it with kerosene 'fossil' of 50% up to use it. Indeed, the chemical composition of biofuels does not currently use 100% for aircraft "Frederick develops Eychenne.

Boeing converges in the same direction Airbus

For its part, Boeing also aims to accelerate the commercialization of environmentally friendly fuels, accounting for 1,500 passenger flights on biofuel made during the last two years. Richard Mills, spokesman for Boeing on issues of biofuels in Europe, said: "Today, biofuels reduce carbon emissions in partnership with airlines. Overall, governments are beginning to express their interest and support efforts, which is essential to help us achieve our goal: that flights 1% biofuel use on average by 2015. "…. ….

The aircraft manufacturer is also studying, as part of its research program, the possibilities of using alcohol as fuel.

Biofuels more expensive than kerosene, lack of industry

Philippe Novelli, project manager at ONERA, the French aerospace equivalent of NASA, has also led the European study SWAFEA (Sustainable Way for Alternative Fuel and Energy Aviation), on the issue of biofuels in aviation paperless payday loans. He said by 2020, the processes under development are expected to be pure biofuels for aviation. Philippe Novelli adds: "To date, due to the lack of real industrial production, airlines pay biofuels about four times more expensive than kerosene. The prospects for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, however, are considerable: up to 85% for the best performing sectors such as BTL (Biomass to Liquid) produced from lignocellulose. "However, the obtaining of significant emission reductions of greenhouse gas emissions requires precautions regarding the conditions of biomass production, as outlined in the specialist ONERA.

Fuels in search of a certification

To date, there are two processes for receiving the seal of biofuels aviation authorities, ASTM International and the FAA: hydrotreated vegetable oils and synthetic fuels from biomass. Eucalyptus does not yet part of this approach where aircraft manufacturers support new biofuel for approval.

Side of engine (Saffron, Rolls Royce, General Electric or Pratt & Whitney), there is to date no formal terms of biofuels, in the sense that they are compatible with existing systems. Indeed, all biofuels are "drop-in", that is to say fully compatible with conventional reservoirs, which does not necessitate the development of new types of engines.

Steadily over the last ten years, civil aviation accounts for 2.7% of global carbon emissions, far behind the automotive industry, which accounts for 52%. The challenge is to meet the requirements set by the EU to all transport, including the requirement to use a minimum of 10% biofuels by 2020.

Against finance, but not against the big bosses. The Socialist candidate for president, Francois Hollande, has reassured business leaders of the CAC 40, in an interview in Paris Matchpubliée Thursday. He was lampooned in mid-February, their salary increases "of 36% on average in 2010."

As we approach the elections, it has softened its tone. "We will need all the forces for the country's recovery. Therefore, in the aftermath of the presidential election, I will convene the CAC 40 companies, although many of their leaders will not vote for me, he says. I tell them: "You are the spearhead of the French economy. We need you and you need the state. We face together the challenge of recovery of France "."

The Socialist candidate was told by the president of MEDEF, Laurence Parisot, France 2 on Thursday, that the vocation of the employers' association was "to work with any government whatever." Tenors Socialist Party had in fact accused of campaigning for the incumbent president Nicolas Sarkozy free business cards.

Francois Hollande tried several times to reassure the campaign finance and management. Visiting London, and then he gave himself to enemy "the world of finance," he said at the City he was not "aggressive" and that n ' there was "nothing to fear" if elected.

Still, the Socialist candidate wants to increase the effective tax rate of 35% in large groups and, among other things, against the practice of stock options. "France seems to bring out the multinationals," said Denis Kessler, CEO of Scor, quoted by The Economist. For the second consecutive week, the weekly British Liberal lampooned the socialist project to tax at 75% marginal bracket the higher incomes of over one million euros.
