Cécile Duflot “The Manuel Valls software is out of date” – The World

Le Monde | • Updated | Interview by

Cécile Duflot to the Assembly in November.

Following the county, the EELV MP for Paris Cécile Duflot called Hollande to consider the message of the election and “change model” .

How do you analyze the defeat of the Left in the county?

V th Republic entered terminal. There is a worsening of the distance between the elites and the people. There is a polarization between a straight extrémisée – no more than a sheet of blotting paper between Nicolas Sarkozy and Marine Le Pen – and a weakened left. One year after the slap of Municipal, the same policy was accelerated. It is again penalized. The cape was chosen by the government and the manner of exercising authority are the two factors for the failure.

Manuel Valls said he did not intend to change Cape …

The determination is a quality, but stubbornness may be a fault. Today we must rebuild hope. This requires a willingness and commitment. Today, we do not ask the partners to come together, but to line. Historically, the right can be satisfied with a militarization around a strong man but the left, she needs a unifying project.

Manuel Valls can not embody this gathering?

The wants it? The accentuation of inequalities, territorial and social as well as ecological crisis seem to be blind spots of his thought. It has the high and mighty, but where are the results? Its objectives, namely to reduce the National Front, improve the score of the left, and reduce unemployment, are not met today. Its software is out of date.

You were in Tunis on Sunday with François Hollande. You find it more receptive to your arguments?

I told him what I repeat incessantly. We need a paradigm shift to find the path to prosperity without growth and democratic overhaul – with proportional – to restore confidence. The discussion continues with the President of the Republic, in whose election environmentalists have contributed. I will never tire of trying to convince. Things are never frozen. And as an ecologist I know that we can not waste time. The climate conference at the end of the year is a historic opportunity to change the course of our societies.

According to the executive, the county prove that there has no “feel” left …

There are clearly the desire of another policy. There is a need for alternative and cultural reconquest. Ecology must be at the heart of this new policy provides forge. That is why we must work to a new citizens force capable of upsetting the landscape. We must also remember that what allowed us to win elections, is unity in diversity, fair rally around a shared project. I do not believe in the war of the left, and I’m ready to rally, but I do not believe that modernity, whether to abdicate on each of the social benefits and have a conservative project.

How do you respond to the call of Jean-Luc Mélenchon to an alliance left without PS?

I hear what says Jean-Luc, but errs on the fact prioritize the fight between two left. What priority is to build hope around a project, not in opposition to each other. The environmentalists project does not fit in the old storage, it is more or less left it even exceeds the left-right divide on certain topics.

You see frequently slingers …

We share many analyzes of the political failure of the quinquennium. I read their text on a new contract of government, it is strongly fed ecology.

Will you attend pro-environmentalists Netherlands, April 4, EELV threatening a split?

When you want to get together and we talk about split, there is something contradictory. For my part, I want to bring together environmentalists in fact not in the newspaper. This is our anchor sustainable interests me no classified dummy squabbles. Environmentalists have resented this division image.

Emmanuelle Cosse, national secretary of EELV will, too, presents …

I do not have judgments to bear on what Emmanuelle Cosse.

Will you be a candidate in the regional?

It is not my intention. In 2010, we had lists of environmentalists in the first round and a real gathering of momentum that has kept almost all regions. We will offer the citizens movements a real project ecological transformation in areas that create jobs and tackle the daily challenges. In regions where the FN will be strong, we can intelligently manage these situations, but the rally is not decreed, it is built with respect.

Surviving a software audit: three steps to prepare well – JDN

It is not recommended to wait until the audit to prepare. Here are three steps to anticipate a software audit.


According to a study by IDG Research Service only 10% of companies feel well prepared for an audit software against 47% who say they are “somewhat prepared” or not ready at all. ” Here are three steps to prepare well (and even make money) for an audit to come: discovery software – use evaluation software – collection of unused software licenses.

These
 three steps will not work if it is decided to implement the
 last moment. It is not recommended to wait until the audit to prepare.
 The tips below should be implemented well in advance for
 optimal results.

 
 

1. Discovery
 Software


 discovery of installed software does not simply scan
 machines and from what is installed on each PC. Data
 discoveries can indicate different versions on all
 machines, due to regular updates of software applications.
 Therefore, the discovered software must be standardized.


 standardization of software is to group all securities and
 Software versions from the database of goods with
 licenses as defined in the
License Agreement
 end-user
(EULA).
 For example, Adobe Acrobat X Standard and Acrobat X 10.1.12
 Standard 10.1.3 are grouped under the same license. Standardization of
 data to map these two versions of Adobe Acrobat X
 Standard 10.

The standardization of software for aligning with the EULA simplifies reporting; records are clear and concise for a software audit. Based on the above example, the standardization of software can also be extended to other tables, including “Editor” and “Software name”, to simplify the reporting on software licenses. Care must be taken in choosing software monitoring tools that provide this type of service.

2. Use Evaluation
 Software


 software asset management tools (SAM) are useful to get a view
 clear software licenses installed on the network. However, tools
 SAM do not make savings if we exceeded the number of licenses
 permitted, although they may in some way, correct the problem.

According
 one of the
Reports Gartner:
 “Officials SAM (software asset management) seeking
 tools that provide data on the rights granted by their
 software licenses, and analyze in detail the risks and exposure
 these licenses, while automating data collection. They evaluate the
 optimization tools and rights management software licenses (SLOE,
 Software License Optimization and Entitlement). “

The Gartner
 listed the various key functions that users expect from a
 SLOE tool. One of the key features is the following:

Function
 native of monitoring the use of software (generally used on
 client computers, not servers)

If
 we have a tool capable of monitoring (monitoring) the use of
 software, we made a big step towards substantial savings in case
 audit software or a maintenance license renewal
 Software is announced.

 
 

In this example, the Using software
 shows the date of last use Acrobat Professional XI, the
 number of launches Acrobat and duration in minutes of opening Acrobat. If
 it is known that about Adobe software audit will take place and we
 uses three licenses more than the number allowed by the EULA two
 Possible solutions: pay these three licenses to Adobe or uninstall these
 three instances of Adobe.

If you do not have
 tool of this type, the duty of finding money to Adobe for these licenses
 will only be done when the audit is completed. The problem in practice
 is that we do not just three licenses, but hundreds or
 of thousands of licenses, which is a lot of money.

 
 


 SLOE tools can apply a cost to show your license
 how much you can save by getting unused licenses on your
 client devices. For example, if you are notified that
 Visio 1000 installations have not been used for
 120 days, it may be interesting to uninstall Visio on these
 devices. If the license costs you $ 20 a device is
 a potential saving of 20 thousand dollars on your next
 software maintenance renewal.

3. License Recovery
 Software

When
 software asset management tool is able to show that one software
 has purchased and not used, it may be time to recover these
 software and save money. There are several ways to remove
 software on client devices:

Send e-mail to users Target asking them to uninstall the software, then check that well they performed the operation by re-analyzing their machines.
Automated recovery software approach to delete the software client devices. Track preferable in my opinion.

 
 


 recovery software can be configured in the same way that the
 software distribution. We must seek tools that can automate
 the process of identification of unused software, targeting
 devices automatically when the software is installed, and then
 automatically uninstall these software on affected devices. A
 After this process, the software asset management tool (SAM)
 must update the SAM database to reflect the software
 that have been deleted.

 
  Conclusion
 
 


 Recovery software license requires proper discovery
 software installations, the evaluation of the use of the software, then the
 Recovery software licenses. Asset management tools
 software (SAM) that can monitor software usage
 generate a quick return on investment. Choose tools
 able to identify client devices where the software can be
 uninstalled. If possible, choose tools that control the
 software or which are associated with a third party product to uninstall
 automatically the software. Asset management tools with
 monitoring software usage are not content to do
 savings in case of audit: they make you also make savings
 when you need to renew your maintenance contract with your
 software vendors.

The creator of an open source medical imaging distinguished by the FSF – ZDNet France


 Sébastien Jodogne

Sébastien Jodogne the award at MIT Photo FSF under CC by-sa

medical imaging engineer at the University Hospital of Liège (Belgium), Sébastien Jodogne received the award for the Advancement of Free Software (Award for the Advancement of Free Software). He was awarded by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) at a ceremony in Boston, MIT, March 21.

This award presented annually by FSF distinguished “an individual who has made a great contribution to the progress and development of free softw, through activities in accordance with the spirit of free software, “says the foundation.

Facilitate exchange of medical imaging

Orthanc project (site, Twitter) – the software takes its name from a tower in “The Lord of the Rings” Tolkien – Sebastien Jodogne worth its price, began in 2011 at the University Hospital (CHU) Liège. RTBF reports:

“This access free software was developed to facilitate the exchange of medical imaging between the different services of the same hospital, but also from one hospital to another. It comes in the form of an interface containing all the scanners, radios, MRI, etc. of a patient, viewable in 3D.

Tools in this area already existed but are extremely expensive and much less efficient qu’Orthanc. This software and therefore meets a real need of hospitals, at a time when the imaging flows are ever more numerous and more complex. “

Developed CHU Liège, Orthanc (under GPL license) it took office in 2012 and is used daily by doctors. Orthanc is under GPL and runs on GNU / Linux, Windows and OSX (Apple).

lalibre states that “before joining the University Hospital of Liège, in November 2011, Sébastien Jodogne worked within ‘ Companies specializing in the image and the development of computer applications (Jomago, EVS, Euresys) Without going into details, free software Orthanc. – that is to say free – improves and automates the flow of ‘medical imaging between departments of the same hospital, but also between hospitals, and thus helps overcome obstacles related to the interoperability of software usually’ owners’. “

” A societal need “

In an interview with La Dernière Heure, the winner declares” convinced that free software is the tool that will reconcile technology and humanism. It is often feared that technological change is dehumanizing treatment medical, and will reduce patients to mere objects. But I think that the continued development of free software in our societies is a great opportunity for patients to resume control of their health, not be under the control of giant corporations and . US “

Orthanc has been downloaded more than 9,000 times,” considerable success “for a niche area such as medical imaging, says Sébastien Jodogne:

” Imaging Medical is indeed dominated by a few large players (Philips, Siemens and GE) and hospitals have little access to IT developers to automate imaging flows: Download this number implies a real societal need. Moreover, a global community gathered around Orthanc. This software is used all over the world, from the United States to India, to Brazil and Russia. Two weeks ago, I learned qu’Orthanc example was used in a Malaysian hospital to show images of patients in multidisciplinary medical consultations … all, of course, the benefit of the patient! “

F-35: a software bug cloudy vision pilots during flights … – The Digital Factory

 A software bug causes a blurred vision of the target when the fighter F-35 flying in formation, reports Defense Tech. A problem that will not hinder the deployment of current devices in 2015.
  

 A software problem has been detected by the engineers of the US military program “Joint Strike Fighter” in the vision system of fighter aircraft F-35 when flying in formation, reports Defense Tech.

 Instead of merging into one clear image data from the sensors of each aircraft (the same for each device), the system returns to the equivalent pilot double vision. This poses a big problem in a target detection: the driver can not determine if it is a single or multiple threat. But the vision system has been developed to allow pilots training to have a clear picture of their target, regardless of viewing angle.

  Flying in pairs and disable sensors

 To remedy this problem, engineers, naval experts and members of the R & amp laboratory; D Johns Hopkins University are working on the sensitivity of software fusion algorithms for pilots of F-35 training to properly identify and discern threats.

 According to Chris Bogdan, head of the F-35 program at the US Department of Defense, the problem does not hamper the deployment of F-35B planned for June 2015. The drivers will be able to work around the problem, for example by flying in pairs rather than fleet of four … or disabling certain sensors.

The advantage of using tax software – Le Journal de Montreal

Is it beneficial to use software to prepare their tax return? For most taxpayers, is yes.

If you have never done it, you’ll save time compared to the manual method. Because the software requires 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes of your time. And online is cheaper than the CD.

From the dozen software on the market, four from the crowd for their simplicity, because they cover Quebec and they are approved by the Government: Tax-Fast, UFile, H & amp; R Block Tax and Business, the latter being the only product with a Quebec firm, Software Marichênes <. / p>

Their online versions are compatible with Windows and Mac, but only the company H & amp; R Block offers free his online or on CD (in offices post), the latter also being the only Mac compatible. But there is a catch: we strongly encourage you (which is annoying) to go to the company’s offices to make to your statements

By cons, some online versions of UFile and TurboTax are free. At UFile Tax Professional, is the case if you are a post-secondary student (proven by a statement 8 or T2202A) if your family income is less than $ 20,000 or if you qualify supplement federal Guaranteed Income . Free QuickTax applies regardless of your income if you have only T4s / RL-1s to declare (not investment or RRSP income).

For people who have a salary, an RRSP and who have one or two donations in the year, the online version is sufficient. For others, obtain the CD.

Prices range from $ 10 to $ 130, depending on the complexity and number of users. Most households use the basic version, costing $ 15 to $ 25 online (add $ 20 for the CD).

The software works usually through “interview”: they ask you a series of questions about your tax and family situation and then go to the tables, where the figures are compiled automatically. Only TurboTax offers to skip the interview stage (for regulars). I suggest you use the interview, especially if you have limited tax knowledge.

Tax Professional, it offers a series of paintings that reproduce faithfully all tax statements. It is simplicity itself. Simply type in numbers where appropriate.

These software carry out a series of final checks before making the transfer to electronic governments, which is very safe. Professional tax alone does not allow the transfer of software data to the other for the past years. In others, the transfer is possible, but sometimes you have still banging more digits manually.

Please note that the statements of deceased persons and that have failed in the past year are required to be transmitted to the IRS on paper. List of approved software. Federal (http://bit.ly/1AvEEKy), provincial (http://bit.ly/1Lj7Bnn)


Our tips

  • The software does not work on your Mac? Download Boot Camp (http://apple.co/1Ds9rhq) and restart your Mac is a PC; Then roll your tax software compatible with PC no problem!
  • Print your return before sending it and keep all your papers for seven years, and a digitized version other than your home .
  • Are you an entrepreneur, self-employed or an active investor: the accountant or tax professional is needed to prepare statements

World’s most prestigious award given to a … Liège – RTBF

The smile and the price received in Boston hands, Sébastien Jodogne a Visé 35, adjusts slowly to the request of the media. Because since last Sunday interview requests succeed. And for good reason: the Award for the Advancement of Free Software , the price he has received, is the most prestigious international distinction that annually recognizes an individual for his contribution to the development free software.

Innovative, high performance and community service

This is in 2011, in the University Hospital of Liège, qu’Orthanc was born. Access this free software was developed to facilitate the exchange of medical imaging between the different services of the same hospital, but also from one hospital to another. It comes in the form of an interface containing all the scanners, radios, MRI, etc. of a patient, viewable in 3D.

Tools in this area already existed but are extremely expensive and much less effective qu’Orthanc. This software and therefore meets a real need of hospitals, at a time when the imaging flows are ever more numerous and more complex. “ Our main objective is not to make money, says Sébastien Jodogne, but to provide a tool which is lacking in all hospitals and put at their disposal, and for the benefit of everyone’s health.

A drop of oil needed in the workings often seized

The free software was developed at the University Hospital of Liège where he took office in 2012. A real time saver and energy for physicians since then work daily with Orthanc.

It allowed us to work faster says Philippe Martinive, radiation oncologist at the University Hospital of Liège, and be certain that the transfer will happen, without having to waste time calling, waiting for a CD on which were engraved the images. We run no more after a doctor and one should wait, in case of loss of an image, its reproduction by the imaging system from another hospital or here and radiotherapist adding: .” C ‘ is truly the drop of oil that enables our mechanics often seized earlier, more will ever be.

At the hospital service, but also the patient, who, through Orthanc, can take control of his health: “ It has total freedom on what it does for its own personal data, it is he who decides how it will exploit them and to whom it will communicate. Orthanc allows to reconcile technology and humanism concludes the Liège winner.

International Success

Ironically as he has so far – before the award ceremony – the subject of any support from the Walloon Government, the software already enjoyed considerable success beyond our borders He has indeed been downloaded over 9,000 times around the world, from Russia to Brazil, via Malaysia

And for those who wonder where the name comes from. Orthanc, this requires to dive back into the bestseller Tolkien, the “Lord of the Rings”, the story has fascinated Sébastien Jodogne. Orthanc is actually the name of the tower of the sorcerer Saruman in which is located a stone Magic that allows remote viewing. Let the function that also fulfills the free software in the medical field.

When the Bitcoin uses a Nasdaq Software – BFMTV.COM

Bitcoin wants to grow. The platform of Noble Trade Markets has announced it will use software from Nasdaq trading platform for market virtual currency Bitcoin, with the idea of ​​sitting credibility .

Noble said in a statement it would use the X-stream Trading Nasdaq program, which is already used by some thirty markets around the world. “Noble was founded on the principle of providing a credible market structure and expertise in institutional markets market virtual currency,” said the founder and CEO of Noble John Betts, said in a statement. He did not say when it would begin its exchange platform for bitcoins.

This comes after the Bitcoin bubble burst in 2012-13, which has suffered in particular the lack of interest from institutional investors.

bitcoin is a virtual currency created in 2009 by one or more mysterious computer (s) hidden behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamato.

This is not a real currency

It can allow to purchase goods or services from any person or company who accepts as payment. But this is not a real currency managed by a central bank.

His course is highly volatile (it has already undergone several flash crashes) and the bitcoin has also attracted a bad reputation because of its lack of transparency, which makes it attractive to criminals, or events like bankruptcy in the spring of the platform MtGox trade, which had to cease operations after a virus attack that removes over 600,000 bitcoins.

While a Bitcoin worth over $ 1,000 there are sixteen months he is now worth more that about 250.

Digital: a Nantes software “predicted” the needs of customers … – University of Nantes

Tell me what you buy, I’ll tell you what you need. Duke team (Knowledge User Data) of the Computer Science Laboratory of Nantes-Atlantique (LINA / University of Nantes-CNRS-Ecole des Mines de Nantes) will soon offer a software solution for companies to “predict” more effective behavior their customers, and thus better meet their expectations.

More concretely, the software developed by the Nantes laboratory will extract relevant knowledge from data (or data) and analyzed more effectively. “The aim is to offer companies a powerful tool for decision support” says Philippe Leray, researcher at the Laboratory of Computer Nantes Atlantique (LINA) and coordinator of the platform PILGRIM (Probabilistic Graphical Models and Relational). “For businesses, including e-commerce, the software will allow for example to assess customer risk more effectively or allow to recommend certain products based on that of a particular buyer we know.”

In developing this software, the research team Duke (Data User Knowledge), specializing in the exploitation and manipulation of data for several years, was based on the data of enterprises ( relational databases) and computer models (relational Bayesian networks) typically used for tasks such as classification, recommendation and of course predictive analysis. “Today, very little software on the market use this type of model from the data” says Philippe Leray. “Our goal was therefore to propose an original solution for handling these probabilistic models, but by integrating recent algorithms and our own contributions developed in the laboratory.” still under development in Nantes the software platform will soon be available to businesses in the form of “bricks” that they can incorporate into their own solutions. “The platform is not a key software in hand, but a set of usable features” says Philippe Leray.

  • The operation of ” data “: expertise Nantes

The development of this innovative software solution is based on know-how well Nantes after the Laboratory of Computer Nantes Atlantique (LINA). Specialized for long in the software factory and use the data, the LINA leads indeed for many years a strong political recovery and does not hesitate to regularly available to the scientific community of software development tools (see also ). “The development of this platform allowed for several years to factor a number of tools between PhD students of the team. The platform is thus enriched algorithms. It is this base that has provided us structure necessary for the project “ says Philippe Leray.

  • The University of Nantes: a leader in digital on its territory

This success story also echoes the research policy of the University of Nantes which the digital one of its major development Research-Training-Innovation (RFI). With more than 450 researchers and 3,000 students (1,200 graduates per year), Nantes University is indeed a key player in today’s digital Nantes on its territory. “The cross-fertilization of the academic world with the digital sector is a major challenge to experiment with the University of Tomorrow” says Francky Trichet, Digital vice president of the University of Nantes.
