La boîte à outils de logiciels libres pour la communication - La revue de stress de lolobobo J'ai depuis des années un grand intérêt pour les logiciels libres, non pas parce que je sois un "geek", ni même un gars qui aime se la péter en expliquant que "hors Linux point de salut" et que "si à 50 ans t'as pas tapé SUDO dans un terminal t'as loupé ta vie", non rien de cela. C'est simplement que depuis une vingtaine d'année j'ai découvert plein de logiciels pratiques, plutôt bien foutus qui font le job et sont généralement plutôt bien mis à jour. Ça m'amène dans mon job de communicant à m'interroger quand je bosse avec un logiciel propriétaire s'il existe une ou des alternatives libres, et souvent à les privilégier. Voilà c'est fait : une liste de logiciels libres, de graphisme, mise en page, gestion de projets, de son, de vidéo et un peu plus que vous pouvez télécharger, installer, utiliser partout (ou presque) pour vos actions de communication. À oui, un dernier truc avant de commencer. Vous voulez mettre en page un document : ScribusOpens in a new window (sur Mac Windows et Linux)
The Most Important Design Jobs Of The Future Yesterday's graphic designers are today's UX designers. Will tomorrow's UX designers be avatar programmers, fusionists, and artificial organ designers? Yes, according to the illustrious roster of design leaders we spoke with here. Design has matured from a largely stylistic endeavor to a field tasked with solving thorny technological and social problems, an evolution that will accelerate as companies enlist designers for increasingly complex opportunities, from self-driving cars to human biology. Here are 18 of the most important design jobs of the future, as identified by the men and women who will no doubt do much of the hiring. Augmented Reality DesignerNominated by Gavin Kelly, co-founder and principal, Artefact As technologies for augmented reality evolve, they will allow for new information to be layered over the physical world in seamless ways. The next "big thing" is not a thing. We are very close to being able to reproduce artificial biologically fitted tissues.
Atelier Science & Cuisine : déterminer la quantité d’ions magnésium dans l’eau de cuisson des haricots verts Les Ateliers Science & Cuisine sont des activités expérimentales en relation avec les programmes pédagogiques des lycées, créés à la demande de l’Inspection de l’Académie de Paris. Ils ne cessent de s’enrichir de nouvelles activités qui profitent de l’engouement des élèves pour l’activité de « cuisine », témoignée par la présence de programmes de télévision dans de nombreux pays du monde. Ces ateliers se présentent sous la forme de fiches expérimentales, comprenant une partie pour les élèves et une partie pour les professeurs. Elles sont accessibles sur divers sites, tel celui de l’Académie de Paris ou celui du Centre International de Gastronomie Moléculaire AgroParisTech-Inra [1]. Une des fiches récemment mise au point concerne les « légumes verts », largement consommés par l’ensemble des populations humaines. Pour les végétaux frais, cette couleur est notamment due aux chlorophylles et aux caroténoïdes. Des molécules derrière la couleur des aliments ! Où vont les ions magnésium ?
7 Tricks to Learn Any Language in your Hometown (in One Week) What’s possible in a week? If you dedicated seven days to the achievement of one goal, how ambitious could you make this goal? These were the questions that the multilingual twins Matthew and Michael Youlden posed themselves when they determined to learn Turkish in one week. They would attempt to liberate themselves from the distractions and responsibilities of modern-day life in order to cram eight hours of study time into their daily routine. 1. Lesson learned: Clearly define your goal at the very beginning and then plot a route towards this goal’s achievement. The twins set themselves the challenge of learning a language in a week in order to stretch themselves, and then it was a question of choosing which language to learn. 2. Lesson learned: Map and label your immediate environment in the new language from the very first moment. The first operational step in the twins’ learning process was to decorate the entire apartment with sticky notes. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Des Sciences Physiques Where is the next Rainbow Gathering? Rainbow Gatherings are not festivals. They’re intentional gatherings of all kinds of people who come together for a month somewhere in nature to cook together, sing around the fires, make workshops, share experiences and generally come together as ‘a family’. Some people see the Rainbow Gatherings as a manifestation of a new consciousness as a tribe of many colours gathers to bring in a New Age upon the earth, fulfilling ancient Hopi Indian prophecies. Others see it as an opportunity to hang out in nature for a month and have a great time. Either way the Rainbow Gatherings are unique events in that there’s no commerce of any kind, no alcohol, and there’s nobody in charge. As is often heard in the Rainbow: ‘if you see a job – it’s yours!’ Rainbow Gatherings usually last for a month (a cycle of the moon) and are held all over the world and are particularly strong in Europe. Here is a book about the Rainbow Gatherings in Europe with some chapters online. Calendar of Rainbow Gatherings 2016 March
What Causes Autism? What We Know, Don’t Know And Suspect One of the great and enduring mysteries of autism is what causes the brain to develop so differently. The behavioural differences of many individuals with autism are so apparent that it seems intuitive that the causes would also be obvious. But research over the past 70 years has indicated this isn’t so. Into this knowledge gap have come all sorts of weird and wacky ideas about the causes of autism: television, power lines, vaccines and sex position during conception. None have any credence, but have fuelled the mystery surrounding what may cause autism. In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a widely held belief that autism was caused by parental coldness towards the child. Leo Kanner, the man who first described the behaviours that characterise autism, explored “a genuine lack of maternal warmth” as a possible explanation for autism. Several eminent scientists eventually extinguished the myth. Since this time, research has focused on biological factors that may lead to autistic behaviours.
Mother tongues - www.lucasinfografia.com Mother tongues INFOGRAPHIC. There are at least 7,102 known languages alive in the world today.

How To Invest In Startups And Make Money Investing in startups is trending, but the million dollar question is how to generate outsized returns? How do you actually make real money? If you had invested just $10,000 in Amazon, Dell, Apple, or Microsoft, when they went IPO, you’d be a million dollars richer just from that investment according to the IPO Playbook. Apple kicked that 100x ‘Franklin Multiple’ to the curb with a 4,581.7% rise in stock value between 2002 and 2012 alone. For some of you reading this, $1million may just be chump change. Even Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth has been trumped by Uber founder Travis Kalanick, at $6B as of 2015. As a disclaimer, while there are best practices to follow when venture investing, before making money, it is likely that you will lose a bunch. However, for some, startup investing has proven to work mind-blowingly well, and many individuals are finding this an absolutely essential financial move for generating the returns and results they crave. Four Reasons People Invest in Startups:
I, robot. You, unemployed One evening last autumn, four experts in the field of artificial intelligence arrived in Westminster with an urgent message for our government. There’s a robot revolution on the way, they said, and unless we prepare for it we’re in trouble. The briefing was a quiet affair — I was one of only a few journalists invited, for fear of headlines like ‘The Terminator is coming’. However, by the time the last A.I. expert had said his piece, it was hard to imagine how a hack could over-hype the story. Computers really are set to take over, it turns out. The four experts spoke in turn, each about a different point in the future, like biblical prophets warning of the End Times. How do we ensure these brilliant robots don’t turn against us? I peered about in the hope of catching policy wonks scribbling memos such as: ‘Must action plan to prevent robot world domination.’ The next seer had a less apocalyptic vision, but it was perhaps more frightening for being so immediate and inevitable.
