New technologies: Instagram for color high wear … – NewsMada – The News From Madagascar

With the slogan “Rise Madagascar,” Geoffrey Gaspard, a young man from Diego Suarez 21 years has set the task of improving the image of his city and his country, sharing online photos and videos that highlight all the positive aspects of life in Diego Suarez in Madagascar

Landscapes, people, attractions, festivals. Geoffrey Gaspard and thirty of his ” friends “Internet users have taken the platform” Instagram assault “sharing snapshots, so that nothing escapes them

Geoffrey Gaspard has noted recently: one of his photos which illustrates the “shock” in the air between two Capoeira dancers, was selected from among thousands of others by the jury of the photo competition launched by the global network of French Alliances. Wednesday, 1 st June, he also presented his latest filmmaking: a small 6-minute film made in partnership with the DIANA region and the Regional Directorate for Youth and Sport

<. p> in this spot, also broadcast on the internet halfway between the clip and the short film, we discover the infinite variety of sports practiced in Diego Suarez by hundreds of men and women, young or young, amateur or professional, and even disabled! The film’s message is clear: the sport is wealth and invites directly the people of Diego

Suarez and Madagascar to join the many clubs in the region

. before that, Geoffrey Gaspard was observed through animation of “Madagascar Instagram community” which has more than 10,000 subscribers.

Founder of the Malagasy Instagram community, “Igers gasy” are more and more people post and share their photos on the social network dedicated to photography.

in March and April 2016, Diego Suarez first, then to Tana, stood the first two ” InstaMeet “(meetings of users of the social network Instagram – Ed) of Madagascar, gathering about a hundred followers, junkies or fans, who discovered some the faces of their virtual friends. The opportunity also for the majority of participants to better understand the concept of “Rise Madagascar” and see the possibilities of promotion of the region and the country, but also the potential direct economic benefits for tourism operators, and indirect for animators passionate community

Instagram.

Who is Geoffrey Gaspard? Born in Diego Suarez in 1995, Indo-creolo-Malagasy origin, lives and grows in Diego Suarez to the ferry as it gets at the French School Sadi Carnot which then delivers his last promotion of graduates before closing. In high school, he practiced a little theater, but distinguishes itself by its intensive practice of sports, especially windsurfing and kitesurfing. It will organize the way, with varying success and difficulties – a mere 17 years – the first two editions of RCM Kite Contest in Sakalava Bay and surroundings. In this adventure, it remains above all, always visible on the internet a beautiful video made by one of KiteSurf South African champions, which offers a serious spotlight on the major spots offered by nature around Diego Suarez.

After the Bac, Geoffrey Gaspard went to South Africa to improve its capacities in event organization. It is there that he observed many new features, especially in terms of use of new technologies. In order to reach the widest users likely to visit the Big Island, he decided to use the English language. He also discovered a passion for photography and film-making. Equipped with a single iPhone, it acquired in July 2014, it starts to flood the social networks of his photos. It is at the same time he realizes the video “Happy from Diego” and “Happy from Nosy Be.” He was just 20 years old. His latest project: to visit India in order to form in filmmaking. When asked if he will return to Madagascar, he frankly replied that he did not yet know what the future holds, but he will come back without fail to continue his mission: to offer the most beautiful faces world Madagascar for his country and especially the city of his birth and he likes: Diego Suarez ■

New technologies are flooding the Olympics – Metro Belgium

Sports and technologies. This cocktail is now part of the arsenal of any nation that competes in the Olympic Games and wants to boost the performance of their athletes to flirt with a maximum of podiums. Advanced technology has also invited the Brazilian games. In addition to drastically redefine sports, innovation offers viewers unprecedented visual experience.

Technological advances provide additional weapons referees to judge the athletes. They offer their precision that no longer tolerates errors and approximations.


Shooting (archery and firearm)

Both the archery than with firearms familiar small revolutions. Both trials are provided with electronic systems ( “Falcon Eye”) -already tested in Beijing in 2008- who support the referees in their decision. The points are now instantly displayed at the time of impact on the screens. As for weapons, they are all marked with a “radio-frequency tag” and their movements are pinpointed.

Canoe, kayak and rowing

In order for the public to observe the position , performance, changes of pace and tactical athletes, sophisticated GPS (Omega) will be mounted on the boats and their data projected on screens.

Weightlifting

athletes who compete will now be observed from all angles since cameras placed in L shape cover all movements

Swimming

Already tested during the Kazan championships in 2015, a new monitoring system (Omega) will equip the pools. In the 800m races and 1,500m freestyle, screens (30 x 20cm) totaling the number of swimmers passages will be placed at the bottom. The opportunity for the athletes -who désirent- to evaluate the distance he has to go.

Volleyball

the referees will now help a new system which, using ten cameras that crisscross the land and the net, validate paths the balloon. A bit like “the goal-line technology” (video on the goal line) football. These results and the number of yellow cards and points of both teams will be visible on giant screens for spectators.

Through various channels (paying) as the Olympic broadcasting Service (OBS) Google street View or NBC Channel (which broadcast the Games in the United States, many sporting events (boxing, athletics, gymnastics, fencing, diving) will be broadcast 8K (ultra HD is 16 times better than the Full HD) available for some virtual reality helmets. These experiences (devices) immersive 360 ​​° are possible through partnerships developed with Web giants like Samsung (thanks to Samsung’s helmet, the Gear VR) or Google (Street View).

special payments

Rio not only respond to standard payments during its Olympics . Indeed, VISA and bank Bradesco inaugurated a wristband be used by nearly 3,000 people to make payments on some 4,000 Olympic venues via an NFC chip (which allows the exchange of encrypted data). In addition, 45 athletes sponsored by the brand will get them a ring (waterproof) empowering them to do without a credit card.

New technologies will not steal your job – BFMTV

Given the progress of digital technology and robotics, some already argue scenarios worthy of a science fiction novel, where robots replace gradually human employees. A study by Strategy France tries to prove that, no, this revolution will not happen

Recently, the “journalists robots” have about them. These algorithms are able to extract relevant web information to make legitimate content. After surgeons robots and robots for factories, all sectors, including the most “intellectual” Would affected by the invasion of robots ? Are jobs brought to disappear en masse? A study published this month by France Strategy, robots are far from invading your life, let alone steal your job .



Robots create new jobs

Behind every robot hides a team designers, engineers, designers, etc. The creation and development of robotic technology requires brain and human hands . According to France Strategy, the productivity gains achieved by companies with these robots, and these digital innovations have a positive impact on job creation.

This is far from some pessimistic predictions, the study says that only 15% of employees would be impacted by the “robolution” in Frace. In 2013, a famous American study announced that nearly half of the positions in the US (47%) would be occupied by machines in the next ten years.

► What about vocational training digital

jobs “not automated” increasing …

the companies realize that all jobs are not automatable . In some professions, there is no substitute human interaction , instinct and the ability to anticipate. According to France Strategy, these trades “not automated” would be increased from 6.9 million in 1998 to 9.1 million in 2013. Let up 33% .

Innovations digital does not necessarily destroy business they turn them , make the change. And new professions appear, especially in the middle of the web and digital. Recall that the IT industry and digital is one of those who recruit the most . On the other hand, if the services are on the rise, the industry presence in the French economy becomes less important

► The training of digital. Major trends

… but concerns that persist

Following the publication of this study, Olivier Marce published an article on the newspaper’s website “Les Echos”, in which he points out the weaknesses of the study France Strategy. According to this research engineer in telecom, the digital expansion could support high level of job relocation , which would therefore be paid at low cost. Also according to Olivier Marce, Internet sales may also terminate certain professions . Elements that are certainly taken into account.

However, if the technology advances, particularly in the field of vocational training where the teacher becomes companion of innovative machines, it is to see that a human presence is always necessary . What optimism

Study: researchers point the finger at the risks and flaws of … – Humanoides.fr (Blog)

In a new report, the Institute of Engineering Carnegie Mellon Software has assessed the main risks of nearly 2,000 technologies that will make the future.



Unity is strength

a few years ago, hardly anyone saw interest connect any everyday object internet. Today, no tell that connected objects can be useful for some applications. And soon their use became almost inevitable. If it is difficult to perceive the interest of a kettle or log scales, we see taking a step back that connected them to a network, said objects may suddenly find useful. Individually, they have the air of nothing, but together in a much, much larger, they transmit and receive data that can be very valuable. Thanks to algorithms and machine learning, businesses, governments and researchers are able to analyze a mountain of data with finesse and speed never before seen. It is by combining them that can produce extremely accurate and informative studies of consumer habits, climate, management of traffic or even the flaws in the payment of social benefits. The dream of every entrepreneur or employee to manage a complex organization.

Cisco Systems, the leader in computer security, estimated that more than 25 billion connected devices are already circulating in the world and that figure should quickly double by 2020. Gartner, meanwhile, expects to only 20 billion … in 2014, the same firm estimated that each home would involve about 500 of these technological jewels, when others thought this figure rather than 30 … these figures are to be taken lightly since these forecasts, carried out by private organizations at that. But one thing is indisputable: the connected objects will invade our lives in the coming years

A world without flaws

Everyone has heard of large-scale piracy, those of extra-marital dating site Ashley Madison, Sony Entertainment, or even celebrity photos stolen from the cloud. Hacks increasingly huge and the extent of which closely follows the curve of evolution of the population connected to the Internet, increasingly important. But what will it be when it is the number of connected objects that soar?

The data are now the sinews of war between the new companies on the web. The majority of the applications that come on our smartphones now work through them. And their number will only continue to grow as we multiply connected objects. But with this multiplication, just as many potential flaws.

Your inputs and outputs, your meal schedule, your hours of entertainment, and even your fitness, everything can be measured by the thirty connected objects should possess every home by 2025. Yesterday, you were you hack your computer and lose, at worst, your bank data. Today it is part of privacy that you can lose. Tomorrow is potentially all your privacy. As cameras, sensors, thermometers, microphones and other devices of all kinds that will equip your future home will be so many informers in power.

The paradox of a world controlled and measured all sides lies in its ability to self-destruct. If any technology brings a lot of benefits, it brings in as much potential dangers. This is why the research agency for the US Defense DARPA, launched the Cyber ​​Grand Challenge competition, which aims to fight against cyber attacks … thanks to computer programs. But not just any, since it will be artificial intelligences who will take care to ensure the information security of the government and the army.



A study that inspects all the flaws offline

So far, few discordant voices were heard on the issue of connected objects. Until now. Because a new study from the Institute of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University Software points out the flaws in that system. Commissioned by the Department of Homeland Security (Homeland Security), this report aims to allow the Computer Emeergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) to “ fight for a freer Internet, safer and stronger for all US responding to major incidents, analyzing threats and exchanging cyberintelligence information with our trusted partners worldwide . “

the most profound technologies are those that reach to disappear. It nest in the daily routine until it melts completely . ” It is this quote from American computer scientist Mark Weiser, thinker of “ubiquitous computing”, which scientists open their report. A good way to explain the outset the difficulty of the task and their incombée behooves us all. The functions of connected objects are always varied and always more when their size is constantly decreasing and therefore be invisible to our eyes. This is called computer ubiquity.

In charge of inspecting systems and emerging technologies through 2025, the research team has developed a list of faults in five key areas : telematic networks, smart medical devices, standalone machines, autonomous vehicles, and commercial drones. But their study runs a considerable number of technologies. To evaluate each technology, they developed a set of criteria taking into account the potential and the degree of injury can cause a fault, the financial losses could result, the degree of protection of personal data, and finally the possible impact on operations, in other words, in spite of an attack for example, is the service still operating properly?

She then based on the list of 2000 technologies identified by Gartner to evaluate them one by one. The results are shown below. The higher the number (1-4), the higher the technology poses a risk in that area. For example, the increase of man, risk omen physical security (4) when digital security omen rather risk on customer transactions (3). The second column indicates whether the confidence in technology was broken when the third anticipates the date of adoption of the technology in question.

 & # xe9; s assessment of xe9 & #;  & # xe9 SAFETY , computer technology

what the we retained: intelligent robots stand out as the highest risk devices, with a great risk on the physical health of users and their privacy. As the connected houses and quantum computing poses more financial problems than physical security

 ranking of technologies according to their  degree xe9 & #; s & # xe9; SAFETY &  # xe9;

what is retained: autonomous vehicles, medical devices and computer networks are among the technologies that are most vulnerabilities in almost all levels. As for the drones, their impact on privacy seems to have been chosen by the researchers, who emphasize the risk of physical injury and operability of the device after its vulnerability was exploited.

What solutions?

Regarding autonomous machines (cars and robots), researchers put forward their operation based on learning and can be perverted. As shown by the example of TayTweets, Microsoft chatbot became racist on Twitter in less than a day. Moreover, it’s connectivity that involves the team, which allows malicious good computer to easily hack, as for the connected home. However, they are quick to point out that the market is still in its infancy and that progress can largely be achieved within 5 to 10 years before their introduction in mass.

Regarding drones, the Carnegie Mellon team, highlights their potential for ubiquity and suggests carrying out impact studies of the flight rules issued by the FAA.

Finally, virtual reality, given the range of possible applications of such technology, the scientists recommend that the various government departments (FAA, FDA, Homeland Security …) involved in the assessment and improvement of this technology, because it fears that its accuracy is not high enough for medical use, for example. Moreover, hackers could not directly threaten the life of the user, but the trick there in disseminating fake images.

Overall, the report highlights the gaps in IT security number these technologies all pass through tele-communication to function. By way of solutions, it proposes to continue research towards more IT and physical security for mobile machines.

When the Commonwealth of Apt-Luberon combines agriculture and new … – Haute-Provence Info

It is Caseneuve Common Country community of Apt-Luberon (CCPAL) that has just taken an experience where the latest technologies to meet airlines and the agricultural economy. The drone of “start-up” of the French Tech Culture was tasked to photograph and diagnose the condition of the plants of the vineyard was going. This was to determine plant growth, leaf area and the need for new subjects or condition shortages (water stress), all within minutes of flight with the help of new technologies. The meeting between the three actors of new technologies (Air Pixels, Atechsys and French tech culture) with the vineyard of Mr. Busi in Boisset Caseneuve is a first in the territory of the country of Apt in agriculture.

the assistance will be attended at first, programming drone equipped with multispectral cameras by Air Pixels, by the pilot between precise GPS data of the agricultural land of the area to watch for the occasion. Secondly comes the content analysis of data recorded by the cameras of the drone, through mathematical algorithms in experience Atechsys. “The farming tradition joins innovation with many measuring tools made available by our companies using digital technology to meet the economic, environmental and sociological issues” What we heard at different interventions. As for the comcom Apt-Luberon she served as facilitator to stall this meeting between agriculture and innovation.

In this day should arise other initiatives and applications in agriculture and / or environmental management as fire, spread of armyworm, lavender or the typical regional groves. In addition, of course, the promotion of heritage and culture

The speakers briefly.

French Tech Culture represented by JF Cesarini, is an ecosystem of digital businesses covering two areas: PACA and Languedoc-Roussillon recognized and certified by the ministries of Economy and Culture in the country. It is legally an association that is developing a digital economy based on traditional and cultural economy.

Air Pixels is a company specialized in shooting, to diagnose deficiencies in agriculture. She is represented by L. Perona and based in Avignon.

For the last step in your world tour, what are the main challenges?

“The very very hot, there are very high temperatures over Saudi Arabia that provide thermal and clouds that rise very high.

this is a long project ends here, what’s next for you?

“This is to involve in the life of every day, in politics, in the industrial world, all the technologies that have been developed with partners for Solar Impulse. For me it is not an industrial side, I am not an industry, it is the side of promoting this technology to reduce CO2 emissions, to reduce energy waste. With our partners we are preparing to announce the launch of the International Committee of clean technology. “
