Créer son premier récit grand format avec Shorthand Social Emmanuel Bouvet, rédacteur en chef web au Département d’Ille-et-Vilaine, était au Medialab SpeedTraining pour expliquer comment créer, publier et partager son premier récit grand format avec l’outil Shorthand Social. Mode d’emploi. Comment publier et partager sur le web son reportage multimédia ou son mini web documentaire ? Selon Emmanuel Bouvet, Shorthand Social est l’outil adapté. Simple, fiable et intuitif, il permet d’organiser ses textes, photos et vidéo et fonctionne sur tous les supports. Le scrollytelling : un format qui favorise l’immersion Grâce au scroll (déplacement de la molette ou de l’index), les blocs de contenus défilent à des vitesses différentes : c’est « l’effet parallaxe ». En 2011, Nike avait créé l’événement avec sa campagne « Nike Better World ». Il cite également l’exemple aujourd’hui bien connu du New York Times qui l’année d’après, a publié « Snow fall », un reportage sur 6 skieurs aguerris pris dans une avalanche. Shorthand Social : comment ça fonctionne ?
A Genève et Lausanne, deux pôles hospitalo-universitaires en expansion Les inaugurations se succèdent aux HUG comme au CHUV. Les deux hôpitaux universitaires romands ont besoin d’un coup de jeune, mais ont également de nouveaux besoins, s’agissant de la recherche sur le cancer par exemple Les constructions et les extensions de bâtiments se multiplient sur les deux principales cités hospitalières lémaniques, celle des Hôpitaux universitaires de Genève (HUG) et du CHUV (Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois). L’expansion concerne aussi bien le volet des soins, avec le nouveau bloc opératoire du CHUV par exemple, que l’accueil des malades, avec la récente inauguration de l’Hôtel des patients et la prochaine mise en service d’un bâtiment des lits flambant neuf à Genève, que l’enseignement et de la recherche. Au bout du lac, l’extension du Centre médical universitaire offre notamment des locaux neuf à la formation romande en pharmacie, tandis que dans le canton de Vaud, la recherche sur le cancer bénéficie d’importants investissements.

L'Equipe Explore - Born to Climb 1971 Tour de France, Orcières-Merlette to Marseilles stage, on which Luis Ocaña, in the yellow jersey, lost ground to Eddy Merckx. It was the turn of the 1970s. The two men hated each other so much that they would not even greet each other. Three days later, the shake-up he had predicted came to pass during another Alpine stage on the boiling road to Orcières-Merlette. It looked like the Tour was over and history made. Eddy Merckx talking about the 1971 Tour de France and his duel with Luis Ocaña. © Source ASO (1997) Merckx amazed him. The Col du Portillon is a highly symbolic pass between France and Spain. At Portet d’Aspet Ocaña stuck to the Belgian’s wheel and countered each of his attacks with ease. The Castilian was in a good position and hardly noticed the darkening sky above the final inclines before the Col de Mente, where he restricted himself to reining in the Belgian with the help of another good climber, Bernard Labourdette.
USA TODAY | BEHIND THE BLOODSHED: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA’S MASS KILLINGS To analyze mass killings, USA TODAY used the FBI's definition: four or more killed, not including suspects, in an event. The killing may stretch over a day or more and some distance, especially if it includes killings committed in flight or against targeted people. It does not include an extended "cooling-off period" to distinguish this kind of crime from the acts of serial killers. Unlike gun control advocates who just count shootings, USA TODAY analyzed all mass killings, regardless of weapon. USA TODAY began by collecting the FBI's Supplemental Homicide Reports for 2006-11. USA TODAY cross-checked each FBI report with local news reports and sometimes with local law enforcement agencies. USA TODAY also found 26 mass killings not recorded in FBI data. Finally, USA TODAY included several other cases not reported by the FBI, including: One on a U.S. military base. USA TODAY did not include events if deaths stemmed from negligence, such as drunken driving, even if someone was convicted.
Profils : Moi, Claude Jaccoux, guide de haute-montagne à 83 ans - L'Équipe Explore Au pied du Mont-Blanc, on en parle comme d’un mythe. Né dans la vallée, il y a 83 ans, Claude Jaccoux a deux visages : l’un rayonne et dégage une curieuse impression d’éternité, l’autre est mangé par l’ombre de ses rendez-vous manqués avec la mort. Il est aujourd’hui le plus vieux guide de haute montagne en activité dans le pays, installé à Chamonix, temple de l’alpinisme. Par Aurélien DELFOSSE, à Chamonix « Je suis né à Servoz, un petit village à 11 kilomètres de Chamonix, mais j’ai passé toute mon enfance à Paris parce que mes parents étaient instituteurs et ont préféré quitter la vallée pour l’éducation de leurs enfants.

NSA files decoded: Edward Snowden's surveillance revelations explained | World news Two factors opened the way for the rapid expansion of surveillance over the past decade: the fear of terrorism created by the 9/11 attacks and the digital revolution that led to an explosion in cell phone and internet use. But along with these technologies came an extension in the NSA’s reach few in the early 1990s could have imagined. Details that in the past might have remained private were suddenly there for the taking. Chris Soghoian Principal technologist, ACLU NSA is helped by the fact that much of the world’s communications traffic passes through the US or its close ally the UK – what the agencies refer to as “home-field advantage”. The Snowden documents show that the NSA runs these surveillance programs through “partnerships” with major US telecom and internet companies. The division inside the NSA that deals with collection programs that focus on private companies is Special Source Operations, described by Snowden as the “crown jewels” of the NSA.

His Saving Grace -- Chicago Tribune Sure, workdays at Charlie Trotter’s lasted 14 hours, six days a week, the paycheck was a pittance, and he was fulfilling someone else’s grand culinary vision. But Curtis was surrounded by like-minded kitchen grunts, uncompromising in their collective desire to become the best. Not the best in Chicago, but the best, full stop. Entry-level cooks traded an $18,000-a-year salary for Trotter’s name on their resumes. In 2003, Curtis went for a meal at the since-closed Evanston restaurant Trio, where a young chef named Grant Achatz — just 15 months Curtis’ senior — was making noise with his avant-garde interpretation of fine dining. After that dinner, Curtis was sold. “You don’t need to work here. “But I want to work for you,” Curtis said. “Well, I can only pay you $16,000 a year.” “Fine.” At Trio, Curtis ascended from the cold foods station to head pastry chef, becoming one of Achatz’s top deputies. Curtis’ career took on the momentum of a wheel rolling downhill. Work harder. “What about us?”
The edge of the abyss: exposing the NSA's all-seeing machine | The Verge There is currently no clear path to reform. All three branches of US government have, in some measure, enabled, allowed, or justified the existence and continued use of unprecedented NSA programs that collect data on American citizens. President Obama, who is the NSA’s top brass as commander-in-chief of the US military, has shown no genuine interest in reforming the agency. Congress, which is responsible for oversight of the intelligence community, is currently divided on the issue of mass surveillance. Ironically, the Select Committee on Intelligence, the Congressional body charged with overseeing the NSA and other intelligence groups, was established precisely to prevent domestic surveillance abuses. The current chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), is one of the most ardent supporters of NSA bulk surveillance and originally downplayed the Verizon leak as business-as-usual.
An Oral History of the March on Washington Ken Howard, a D.C. student working a summer job at the post office before entering Howard University in the fall, took a bus downtown to join a massive gathering on the National Mall. “The crowd was just enormous,” he recalls. “Kind of like the feeling you get when a thunderstorm is coming and you know it is going to really happen. There was an expectation and excitement that this march finally would make a difference.” Only a few months before, in that electric atmosphere of anticipation, 32-year-old singer-songwriter Sam Cooke composed “A Change Is Gonna Come,” the song that would become the anthem of the civil rights movement. The potent symbolism of a demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial—timed to coincide with the centenary of the Emancipation Proclamation and following President John F. Behind the scenes, the lead organizer, Bayard Rustin, presided over a logistical campaign unprecedented in American activism. Error loading player: No playable sources found Ken Howard: A. A. Dr. A.
Cover Story: Bat for Lashes Across 2006’s Fur and Gold and 2009’s Two Suns, much of Khan’s mystic brand of pop involved a tension between open-hearted sympathy and something more rogue, her guileless voice keeping the flights of fancy just earthward enough. She wants the new album to sound like “an inventor living in a lighthouse” somewhere on the English coast. Twist your ear the right way and you can sort of hear it: that salt-washed, weathered, mechanical, isolated, magical, guiding feel, looking to a man whose purpose is to generate beams of light as well as light-bulb moments. Khan wrote a song about a lighthouse keeper of sorts for The Haunted Man, though it didn’t make the final record. In March 2010, Natasha Khan returned home from touring Two Suns and closed the door to her flat in Brighton, on England’s south coast. Khan shut herself away, attempting to cure the profound writer’s block she was experiencing in order to reconcile her sense of self.
