LEARNING. Learn computer basics is accessible to all, with the Internet community access centers (CACI). They are back in eight municipalities of the MRC, through the Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) of Papineau.
Services offered in the centers vary, depending on the needs of citizens. Three new computer animators were hired to accompany the people interested in becoming familiar with new technologies. They offer personalized computer support and courses on the various existing technologies and software. Hiring facilitators is possible through the Internship program for young people from Industry Canada. While giving a boost to the community, these courses allow young people to gain work experience in the field of information technology and communications.
CACI are located in Saint-André-Avellin, Papineauville, Fassett, Chénéville, Duhamel, Saint-Émile-de-Suffolk, Notre-Dame-de-la-Salette, and Val-des-Bois.
To know the schedule of events, visit the Facebook page of CACI as close to your home.
WORLD. Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder, joins twenty-seven other investors from new technologies or web to a fund of several billion dollars for clean energy.
The billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Xavier Niel (founder of Free), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Richard Branson (Virgin) and Jack Ma (Alibaba) will pool their funds in the Breakthrough Energy Coalition. This private foundation intends to develop a public-private collaboration, approaching Mission Innovation. This initiative twenty countries including France, the United States and Saudi Arabia aims to invest $ 20 bn (€ 18.9 bn) in the search for clean energy by 2020.
Breakthrough Energy Coalition plans to fund, from the research phase, the ideas in any sector: power generation and storage, transport, industrial, agricultural and efficiency of energy systems. “Over the next year, we will work together to create investment vehicles, facilitate these investments and expand the investment community,” says the site created for the occasion.
Monday, November 30, 2015, Bill Gates was able to meet on the sidelines of the international UN conference on Climate Change (Cop 21) which opens in Paris with Barack Obama and François Hollande to present his project.
So-called IP cameras operate in a network and can be controlled remotely by a computer, tablet or smartphone. Simply connect the camera to the Internet via Wi-F, or via an Ethernet cable, and then install software or an application to communicate your computer equipment and your camera. Depending on the model (between 100 and 220 € for the best), the cameras offer more than just look at your home or baby room.
Some, like Netatmo Welcome (€ 200) offer a face recognition function: it can distinguish between family members and intruders. Data is stored on an 8GB SD card included. You can watch a live stream in HD, it can capture every movement thanks to its 130º angle, even at night thanks to its infrared equipment.
Others, like KiWatch 965s (99 €) are provided with an integrated siren, a movement control system (motorized) and go to night view with IR LEDs. The videos here sequences can be saved on the cloud.
The Withings Home (€ 199), whose base is magnetized, analyzes the quality of ambient air and provides a new function with baby cam (pilot and soft music).
Finally, some may be displaced as required. This is the case of the last Logitech, named Logi (€ 199), which embeds a small battery which gives it up to 3 hours of talk time intensive monitoring mode, and up to 12 hours in eco mode . The battery is charged whenever the camera returns to his base.
Please note that some cameras (Kiwatch) require a subscription to access full functionality.

A new broom sweeps well. Very good? It is believed that the small world of curling. The International Federation (WCF) has banned competing new brooms “high-tech”, accused of gaining an unfair advantage and distort the discipline. Manufactured by a Canadian company, these brooms utilize a revolutionary fiber fabric carbon. They allow faster and more efficient brushing too so according to his detractors who believe they can change the direction of a stone.
Glenn Howard Former world champion did not mince words on Radio Canada. “It’s like using a joystick that says to go right, left, further, less far. In the past, the success of a sudden depended 80% of launch and 20% of the sweep. For a year and a half, it’s the opposite. This is unacceptable. “The curlers are then swept outside their house. And, for now, only the brushes available for public sale until November 17 can be used.

What role do new technologies in the life of French? The 2015 edition of the Digital Barometer *, commissioned by the General Council of the economy (CGE) and the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Posts (ARCEP) has just provide answers. 20 Minutes has identified five significant digits and five surprising information.
84% of the French Internet users
What propels France to rank sixth most surfer countries in Europe, just after the Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Note that all Internet users are 12-17 years old and 68% of the population consults Internet every day.
The surprising information: Before purchasing a good or service, 49% of French use the notes, assessments and comments published on the internet to get an idea . Yet, only 41% say they trust these appreciations and only 3% were “very confident”.
52% of French are on social networks
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest … Social networks seduce more than one in two French, whereas they were only 23% to participate in 2009. In just three years, social networks have mostly won 25-39 years (17 points), now more present on this ground that the 12-17 years
The surprising information. 27 member countries EU, France is the one that participates least to social networks. The Portuguese are the most keen (76%), followed by Denmark (74%) and Latvians (73%).
92% of French people have a mobile phone
They were “only” 70% own one 10 years ago. But the growth is not linear: if the device in mobile gained three points this year, it stagnated in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Not surprisingly, the 18-39 years are the most equipped (98%) and 70 years and older are less buyers, even though they are still 71% have a laptop
The surprising information. In 2015, and c ‘ is a first, the French are more likely to have a mobile phone (92%) than a fixed telephone (89%).
58% of French people own a smartphone
They were barely 17% have one four years ago. For now, smartphones are mostly bought by people under 40 years and most graduates. The largest increase relates to 12-17 whose rate increased from 59% in 2014 to 87% in 2015 (+28 points). In 2015, access to the smartphone, however, increased for almost all social groups, including an increase of 8 points for age 70+ and 5 points for non-graduates.
The surprising information: If 58% of French people have a smartphone, they are only 52% to browse the internet and even less (44%) to download applications … In other words, at least 6% of citizens use their smartphone as a lambda cell phone.

Saturday, November 28, from 12 am to 13 pm, HRD Airbus Thierry Barril will talk of new jobs induced by technical progress.
On another note, the meeting at CETIR of Friday, November 20 addressed the Knowledge House since 2003 and labeled cyberbase dispenser for schools and individuals in Saint-Laurent de-Neste and its environs computer training cycles. It is also Labelled “FabLab”. A crucible for the invention as 3D printer design or the drone, put on display. these awards should join a professional lens forming device presented by Jean-François Kappes to Simplon.co. In the digital sphere, between designer and operational, there is a potential developer jobs. The specificity of Simplon.co is to address a social or public school program for a second chance and select without bias or qualifications required candidates able to invest in intensive training in digital to make its art (create sites, applications, …). The Simplon.co trainings are free.
The last workshop was devoted to the contribution of digital applications in the discovery of heritage and tourism with the successful example of Nestplori @ gravettian for remains of Gargas and lately the application to download on mobile tarpaulins Country of Art and History of the Aure and Louron valleys that open the way for further developments in the e-tourism (geolocation, video, promoting …) to visitor destination.

It is generally imagines looked at their discovery, a toothbrush in hand rubbing gently, yet archaeologists are always particularly quick to appropriate the technical advances, a trend even more pronounced with the advent of new technologies . In order to verify the theory of British archaeologist suggesting that Queen Nefertiti can be buried in a secret chamber of the tomb of Tutankhamun, Egypt announced this week that it would conduct further analyzes with “radar” sophisticated and “thermal imaging”. This is one of the examples of the trend, more and more pronounced, archaeologists use the latest technology “We use two methods. One measuring thermal changes of surfaces, the the other with an electronic scintillator that captures muons (elementary particle with properties similar to the electron, Ed) and can reveal if there are voids in the structure, “explains Mehdi Tayoubi, president of the Institute who HIP thermal surveys conducted in four Egyptian pyramids, including that of Cheops. The technique is actually a diversion because at the origin it had been developed in Japan to measure radiation radioactivity, following the accident of Fukushima nuclear plant. Scanner, drones, laser or GPS positioning, 3D scanning, multiple uses are archeology and allow for considerable time savings in the study sites, which often are to disappear to make way for new construction. “The use of the laser allows us to reduce the duration of a field survey in half a day, against four or five days before. With 3D, we have a very rapid recovery of our stratigraphic layers and elements that we find ourselves, it allows us to continue to study the environment even after the excavations, “explains Frédéric Blase, archaeologist at the National Research Institute Preventive Archaeology (INRAP). The explosion of such use leads universities to integrate into their curriculum, like the Paris-Sorbonne University, which has established with the Quai Branly Museum a Discovery technical seminar open to students of his masters archeology. “The aim is to train students in the use of new technologies in archeology of” every day “, not only on exceptional sites,” explains Nathalie Ginoux, lecturer at Paris-Sorbonne University .
Drones to protect sites “We allow students to discover new technologies concretely, with explanations on the part of users, this allows raise awareness of all these tools, “adds Christophe Moulherat, Quai Branly. University went even further, by establishing a platform of digital tools unprecedented in France, that is to say, machines available to its researchers and students teachers. “We launched a call for projects with students in master to encourage them to use the tools and train interdisciplinary teams around their research subjects,” says Gregory Chaumet, in charge of the platform. Gonna happen however abandon learning classical methods of analysis in the field: “Students continue to draw in pencil, making stone by stone statements because they are methods that facilitate the analysis by observation time real, “said Nathalie Ginoux. Beyond the same study sites, new technologies also allow the preservation, including through surveillance against theft and damage. In Peru, the Ministry Culture is well equipped with a fleet of drones that allows it to map all of the sites and to act before urban development does not come to destroy them. “We have a fleet of nine drones that allow us to know the real state sites and catalog them. We have over 100,000 sites in the country and know only 10% of them. The use of drones we can quickly get information about them and see any damage they may have suffered, “says Aldo Watanave, the Ministry of Culture. They even become a tool for communication, particularly through 3D modeling. “This will look for sponsors and sponsorship, it is always easier with beautiful pictures,” admits Nathalie Ginoux

This is the sign that the real estate shift to a digital world began. While we expected a “disruption” carried by individuals, are the professionals who carry innovation.
Geolocation, dipping and
The geolocation of properties was a major topic of RENT as several leading players announced on the occasion of the exhibition, now that their ads will bring all the information local on goods for sale while respecting the interests of estate agents. Immersive sites with or without a helmet, have been one of the most notable attractions. This technology, which has video games, is now developed and allows to visit as in real property that does not exist. The French start-up of this sector are leading and their expertise is recognized around the world. But professionals have also discovered new platforms of real estate auction, real estate crowdfunding, tablets for states places, customer relationship management tools, databases, home staging and even a virtual stand Japanese to perform very playful virtual tours with mini Legos.
