Viviane Reding est-elle allée trop loin ? Quand on lit la presse française à propos de la condamnation par la Commission européenne de la politique française d’expulsion des Roms, il apparaît qu’en France, à quelques exceptions près (Duflot, Montebourg), journalistes et personnalités politiques, quel que soit leur bord, mettent l’accent non sur le fond, mais sur la forme des propos de la commission européenne par la bouche de Viviane Reding. Le fond, c’est l’interdiction de toute discrimination ethnique, la forme, c’est la phrase de Reding : « Les expulsions, les déportations de masse, ça suffit » ; « Des personnes sont renvoyées d’un Etat membre uniquement parce qu’elles appartiennent à une certaine minorité ethnique. Dès lors journalistes, hommes politiques et bloggeurs qui trouvent cette forme « excessive » se sont mis à l’interpréter, à y voir des références précises. La réalité est que les Roms ont bel et bien été exterminés dans l’Allemagne nazie – le nombre de victimes roms est incertain, entre 500000 et 1500000.
Witch Witch 3 now lets you assign Command-Tab and Shift-Command-Tab (or Command-`) as the Witch activation keys. Set up in this manner, Witch replaces the Command-Tab application switcher. Witch 3 also mimics some of the Command-Tab switcher's functionality. When you press H (hide) or Q (quit) with Witch active, the action occurs immediately, as it does with Command-Tab. Witch adds more useful when-active keystrokes, too: M to minimize a window, Z to zoom it to full screen, and W to close it. In addition, A and Shift-A will jump by application (instead of moving window-by-window), J and K will move the selection down and up (as in vi), T and B (or Home and End) will jump to the top or bottom of the panel. Press F to show the currently-selected document in a Finder window. Press P (or Space Bar) to pop up a preview image, even when previews are disabled. Finally, press Comma while the Witch panel is visible to open Witch's settings—just like in most any other Mac OS X application.
10 erreurs de débutant en référencement à éviter… ConseilsMarketing.fr a le plaisir d’accueillir Raphael, du site www.superbibi.net, spécialiste en WebMarketing. Raphael nous rappelle dans cet article les 10 erreurs à ne pas commettre lorsque l’on veut référencer son site Internet. Autrefois, être présent sur Google était du au hasard plus qu’à une quelconque optimisation. Les sites ne se souciaient pas de leur positionnement, à tel point qu’il suffisait de se pencher sur la question quelques petites heures pour remonter considérablement dans les pages de recherche des moteurs. De nos jours c’est devenu un enjeu majeur et cela nécessite plutôt des jours, voire de semaines ou des mois pour remonter sur les mots clés intéressants. Le SEO est un domaine de plus en plus compétitif et le trafic souvent considérable qui se cache derrière un bon positionnement est désormais une question de survie. Erreur N°1 Ne pas s’en soucier assez tôt L’erreur la plus commune est sans conteste le fait de ne pas se soucier assez tôt de son optimisation.
Pour une grève générale en Europe ! Pour ceux qui ne sont pas tout à fait au courant....(notamment, réponse @ Fred) LES INEGALITES DANS LE MONDE SONT PLUS PRONONCEES QU’IL Y A 10 ANS Le communiqué des Nations unies S’il est vrai que certaines parties du monde ont connu une croissance sans précédent et une amélioration des conditions de vie ces dernières années, la pauvreté demeure une réalité et une grande partie du monde se trouve empêtrée dans une crise de l’inégalité. Le Rapport sur la situation sociale dans le monde, 2005 : la crise de l’inégalité, publié par l’Organisation des Nations unies, tire sur la sonnette d’alarme face aux inégalités qui persistent et s’aggravent dans le monde entier. "On ne peut faire de progrès sur le front du développement sans s’attaquer aux inégalités dans les pays et entre ceux-ci", dit José Antonio Ocampo, secrétaire général adjoint aux affaires économiques et sociales.

How I Structure Site Content For the last few weeks we’ve been looking at information architecture. First with 8 principles of usability and then with some thoughts about setting up your site structure so search engines could find and understand your content. When I started I promised I would offer my own process for setting up the content structure on a site. First here are those other posts about information architecture to get you caught up in case you missed any. Bear in mind that much of what follows is the process I use when I have complete control over the information on a site. My process with structuring a client’s site will end up being a little different than what’s described here, though I’ll follow as much of the process below as the client allows. My Process When it’s entirely up to me what content will be included on a site and how that content will be organized I run through the same process.

Lighting Modifiers Cheat Sheet Card So we had a Portrait Lighting Cheat Sheet that was designed to help placing the light in space around the model. While I called it portrait lighting cheat sheet card, I was only telling half of the truth. The half that I did not include in that card was how different modifiers will change the light falling on your subject. It is time to correct this wrong, so this lighting modifiers cheat sheet completes this gap. There are some new things on this sheet, like a perfectly still model, dark walls to control reflections and a few beers that you can not spot in the actual card. But they were there. You can download a “super size” here. Again, we tried to keep it simple. What’s In The Card? The card is divided into four sections, each dealing with a different type of modifiers.

Eurosatory : le grand pince-fesses des VRP de la mort Dans toutes les allées, les mêmes faces rubicondes et satisfaites, les mêmes uniformes – chemise blanche, costume passe-partout, coiffure bien dégagée sur les côtés et/ou dégarnie, peau luisante – , les mêmes rires gras. Un verre de champagne à la main, un attaché-case à l’autre, une naïade plus ou moins peinturlurée pendue au bras (pour les plus éminents), ils s’agglutinent devant les stands, ravis d’être là, paradant parmi leurs pairs. En grappes, ils échangent force commentaires sur les merveilles présentées, du Taser XREP/X12 à la grenade assourdissante Splinterless SV-135, en passant par les nouvelles joyeusetés balistiques made in Israël et les bon vieux Renault-trucks des familles, yeux gourmands, ravis de tant de puissance de feu. Ils sont à la fête. Pour le Rouletabille naïf égaré au salon Eurosatory, l’expérience est plutôt éprouvante1, voire carrément effrayante. Alors, d’un stand à l’autre, c’est le même spectacle : champagne et petites pépées, rires et claques dans le dos.
Understanding Visual Hierarchy in Web Design Visual hierarchy is one of the most important principles behind effective web design. This article will examine why developing a visual hierarchy is crucial on the web, the theory behind it, and how you can use some very basic exercises in your own designs to put these principles into practice. Republished Tutorial Every few weeks, we revisit some of our reader's favorite posts from throughout the history of the site. Design = Communication At it's core, design is all about visual communication: To be an effective designer, you have to be able to clearly communicate your ideas to viewers or else lose their attention. To figure out why this is true, it's important to understand a little bit about the way that we see things. Chances are, you don't see "two circles"; Instead, you saw "one black circle and one smaller red circle". Let's now look at a more complex image: The added complexity actually re-enforces our desire to "classify" the objects in terms of relationships. Size Color Contrast
Portrait Lighting Cheat Sheet Card Setting up lighting for a portrait can be quite a complex task. If you, like me, are using small strobes which have mo modeling light it is hard to predict what will be the outcome of each lighting array. There are however some basic lighting schemes, kind of a starting ground for new portraits. Wouldn’t it be nice, though if you have a magic card that will show you what will be the final lighting of almost every lighting scheme? So, after reading Light, Science and Magic, watching the lighting tutorials from pro photo life and getting my share of the Strobist, I decided to create the Portrait Lighting Cheat Sheet. (Click here for a bigger size, and here for a super size) The idea is simple: Take a great model. The cheat sheet shows three possible angles for setting the flash: Angling the flash down 45 degrees toward the subject; having the light on the same level as the subject and angling the flash 45 degrees up to light the subject from below.

Minimalist Web Design: When Less is More As designers, we all know that a minimalist design can achieve beautiful results. Still, many designers have trouble creating one; either they have a hard time making a page with so few elements look good or the final result just doesn’t look “complete.” There are many articles on the Web about minimalism and this article aims to help you achieve a minimalist design that is beautiful but not bare. To top it off, we’ll present a small showcase of minimalist designs, so that you can analyze why some designs work and others don’t. What Is Minimalist Design? Minimalist design has been described as design at its most basic, stripped of superfluous elements, colors, shapes and textures. Its purpose is to make the content stand out and be the focal point. The design movement began in Switzerland and was then applied to a variety of media: graphic design, architecture, music, literature, painting and, more recently, web design. We’ll go over the basic principles of minimalist design. Less Is More 1.

Taking Photoshop’s Curves Beyond Highlights and Shadows Photoshop’s Curves is a flexible control that can brighten or darken parts of a layer based on the layer’s luminosity. Editing tones in an image—not just grays and not always photos—can do more than fix highlights and shadows. Curves can be used to edit photos, masks, graphics and even hues. But using it requires a little know-how and imagination. Read on for more details about what Photoshop curves are, as well as how to use them properly for your designs. As usual, feel free to leave us your comments at the end of this post. Making Tonal Adjustments Curves is found near the top of the Image → Adjustments menu. Above: Drag a point on the curve line up to make the image brighter and down to make it darker. Curves uses a grid that shows before and after. Above, the curve turns shadows into bright highlights, muddies mid-tones and turns the original white point into middle gray. Above, blue denotes which tones most of the pixels use.
