Plea for a charter of sizes Made in Quebec
Montreal researchers may soon offer designers and manufacturers of tools here that would standardize clothing sizes. Let him who is always the perfect fit on the shelves of ready to wear without having to take a walk in dressing room raises his hand. Warned the fashionista knows that the equivalent of one small Middle of the other. Disparities in the sizes of clothing are a real problem, says Vestechpro, the Centre for Research and Innovation in clothing CEGEP Marie-Victorin, who organized last week, a first conference on the size and fit.

To correct the situation, the center offers just set up a database reflecting the morphological characteristics of Quebecers. To do this, it intends to build similar projects in France, Germany and the UK. Objective: to support the creators.

The speaker Edward Gribbin, president of Alvanon, whose expertise in the field of adjustment and sizes is more to do, is categorical: "The adjustment is critical for any brand that wants to have Success. "And if the color is the main reason that encourages consumers to try on a garment, it will not buy as much if it falls, he adds. This is the adjustment that enhances customer loyalty. "

The quality and the fit are inseparable, adds Professor of the Graduate School of Montreal Fashion Jocelyn Bellemare, also attended the event. "While fast fashion is here to stay, will make him more and more space," he believes.

Quebec (and, perhaps, Canada), the project Mensur'action - it's called that - will be launched as soon as funding is granted, said Paulette Kaci, CEO Vestechpro.

"There is interest from the Quebec government, she told exclusively to Metro. We expect that the Ministry of Economic Development pays 90% of costs. But before we make a formal grant application, we need partners in the garment industry appear to fill the remaining 10%. "

Sizes: charters exceeded?
"We must update the morphological data in Quebec," argues the sizes specialist and professor at the University of Philadelphia Marie-Eve Faust, guest speaker last week by Vestechpro. Nope, there is no charter here measures up to date! Designers and manufacturers often work from measurements of white Americans from the late 1940s. Even if they have the most updated data from their target, they are not always faithful to the silhouette of the 2000s, says the researcher.

The problem is that the bodies of women and men has changed in 60 years. Increased sedentariness would be among the causes of these morphological changes, illustrates another speaker, Patrick Robinet, a researcher at the French Institute textile - clothing.

Three free alternatives to recycle your electronics
According to Environment Canada, the country for 10 years a 30% increase in the volume of electronic waste generated by its inhabitants. Here are three ways to counter this trend by getting rid of your electronics while respecting the environment.

A new challenge is added to the waste management due to the computerization of our society. In the world, "research indicates that it is between 20 to 50 million tons of electronic waste are produced each year."

Quebec ranks poorly in terms of recovery of such waste. The beautiful province in recyclerait between 6-8%, which puts the environment and the health of Quebecers at risk. Indeed, electronic devices contain many toxic components likely to be released into the wild if they are not treated properly.

Three free alternatives to recycle your electronics
To make it easier for Quebecers, Ordi-Recyc offer free pickups from 22 to 28 April. They are addressed to individuals and businesses expressing their desire, by email (info@recycordi.com), to get rid of at least ten aircraft. Otherwise, Quebecers can drop off their computer and electronic waste in the "Recycling bins Recyc Ordi-" for that purpose, in one of the participating partners listed at this address.

Please be aware that Reno-Depot has partnered with the service 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, To organize the fifth collection of green electronics Sunday, April 22, from 10h to 16h. Seven branches in Quebec involved in this project: that of Brossard, St. Hubert, Anjou, Central Market, Pointe-Claire, Laval and Rosemere, and the store Furnishings Tanguay of Quebec City.

Three free alternatives to recycle your electronics
According to their press, their initiative has "to avoid the landfill and recycled nearly 115 tons of electronic and electrical equipment that could potentially contaminate the soil by their chemical composition."

Finally, Montrealers can go and leave their electronic devices at Insertech Angus, an integration enterprise nonprofit specializing in rehabilitation and revitalization of electronic and computer equipment. So far, over 900 young adults in difficulty have benefited from his job entry program, which is accredited by Emploi-Québec.

The future iPhone, Will it the largest launch of Apple's history?

The future iPhone, Will it the largest launch of Apple's history?
While the last generation iPhone has sold 4 million copies in a single weekend, the industry experts estimate that the launch of the next model, launched in June or October, will be greater scale.

"The launch of the iPhone 5 will probably be one of the largest to date," said Bill Shope, an analyst at Goldman Sachs. And that's saying something. The success of the iPhone 4S has allowed Apple to reach last December one of the best results ever achieved by a company in the technology sector in one quarter, U.S. $ 13 billion profit on revenues exceeding U.S. $ 46 billion.

The only U.S. company surpassed this result is the Exxon oil and gas, with a profit of U.S. $ 14.8 billion in the third quarter of 2008, according to data relayed by the BGR blog.

Condensed rumors
The latest rumor comes from a South Korean daily "ETnews" Apple intends to use the copper alloy, nickel, titanium and zirconium of Liquidmetal Technologies to manufacture the rear of the case, replacing the glass .

This would build a phone thinner, lighter, more flexible and impact resistant than the current model.

The rumor seems credible because Apple owns the rights to exploit the intellectual property of the company since August 2010, for which $ 30 million has been disbursed, according to Gizmodo.

Until now, Apple would have used this technology as a tool to eject the SIM cards of some models of iPhone and iPad, according to reports the Cnet site.

Also, Reuters reported last month an information from the South Korean newspaper "Maeil Business", stating that Apple provided a larger screen Retina future iPhone. It would reach 4.6 inches diagonally instead of the traditional 3.5-inch. However, this new appears to be unreliable, because it refers to the traditional "anonymous source close to the industry."

Although mobility specialists expect that the screen takes expansion up to 4 inches, the paris are always open about its dimensions.

Still, if the screen occupies a larger area, the resolution will be improved accordingly, as was the case for the New iPad also has a Retina display.

Finally, the New iPad reveals several features that can be incorporated in future iPhone.

Since connectivity 4G/LTE was added to some models of the Apple tablet this year, it is likely that the next phone will have access to next generation networks.

Despite the increased consumption of the data it will induce, the autonomy of the iPhone X should be unchanged or even improved.

So far, Apple has sold over 37 million smart phones, 15 million iPad and 15 million iPods. In a context where the iPhone 4S was launched in October as opposed to June, at its annual developer conference (WWC), Apple may choose to postpone the launch date to avoid discouraging purchases of the current version.

Ukrainian Barbie doll : Lukyanova ValeriaI do not pretend to be in a position to judge anyone (which does not of course prevent me to do on a daily basis), and I make a real effort to be less critical of the choice that some people do. But every time I think I improved and I finally found my Zen satisfy the innumerable inconsistencies exhibited by humans, something happens like this girl. And let's say, to be kind, it presents a challenge.

Images of the young Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova obviously obsessed with physical appearance of the Barbie doll, traveling all over the internet in recent days. The 21 year old woman, with proportions worthy of Jessica Rabbit and features impossible, has certainly used several cosmetic surgery procedures to look like ... that.

Discover Lukyanova Valeria, the wife 'Barbie'
Far be it from me to be anti-feminist, it's her body and she will do whatever he likes but if I may, what a strange creature! I'm jealous of her long hair, and was often seen far worse results due to repeated surgeries, but I like to think that even by the standards of beauty most unattainable, the goal is still to look like a human being, This is really not the case of Valeria.

See through walls thanks to a smart phone

See through walls thanks to a smart phone
See through clothes, and even the walls: such a power, which seems the prerogative of the superhero Superman, could become accessible to everyone thanks to a new smart phone designed by U.S. researchers.

This is a relatively inexpensive microprocessor designed at the University of Texas at Dallas (south), able to distinguish a terahertz frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The chip works with a semiconductor metal oxide (CMOS), commonly used in laptops, smart phones, TVs or game consoles

"The combination of CMOS and terahertz means that we can put this chip and a transmitter on the back of a mobile phone and turn it into a handheld device that can see through objects," said Professor of Engineering Electrical Kenneth O in a press release from the University.

To minimize concerns about possible violations of privacy, Mr. O and his team at the Centre of Excellence analog of Texas (Texas Analog Center of Excellence) limit their study so that these new chips do to see that a maximum distance of ten centimeters, the university said.

The terahertz frequency waves which has the length is between microwaves from mobile phones and infrared employees for night vision goggles.

The chip detects and terahertz waves and leaves an image, for example on a phone screen.

For the team of Mr. O, it can be useful to doctors to see inside the body of a patient, or engineers in search of nails driven into walls.

"We have developed approaches that are on portions of the electromagnetic spectrum hitherto untapped for the general public," argued MO "There are lots of things you should be able to do that we simply have yet thought through."

Feeling good about yourself. The beauty is also know to highlight their strengths and identify a certain confidence. This is also in small things we do everyday.

Do you have a habit of wearing makeup?
Not on a daily basis, since I'm training hard. But on other occasions, yes. I like to focus on my eyes, and I would not go out without my mascara!

What are your beauty tips?
I could not believe it (I found that my mascara was already working very well), but I recently started using an eyelash curler and I am thrilled with the result. The eye is illuminated.

One of the faces of the student movement against rising tuition prepares its exit. Leo Bureau-Blouin, president of the Quebec Federation of College Students (FECQ), ends his term on June 1. Members of the FECQ, meeting this weekend in the annual general meeting in Contrecoeur, Montérégie, will elect his successor Sunday.

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Mr. Blouin-Office said he can not for the presidency, since he has already completed two terms, which is the regulatory limit.

While you are bogged down and that violence gets the part, he hoped that the dispute will be settled before departure.

According to figures from the FECQ, 85,000 college students are always out of classrooms, which can jeopardize the sessions some of them. Office-Mr. Blouin said that all student organizations that spoke on the continuation of the strike last week have renewed.

On violence observed Friday in downtown Montreal, Mr. Blouin-Office said that it is deplorable actions and called on parties to calm. He hoped that the government will do the same.

Concerning the refusal of the broad coalition of the Association for a student union solidarity (CLASS) to clearly condemn violence and vandalism before having received the mandate of its members, the president of the FECQ believes that such termination could help to calm people down. CLASS consult its members on this Sunday.

The Jacques Cartier Bridge was reopened to traffic shortly after 6:15 Thursday morning in Montreal, apparently depressed after a woman who had climbed the massive metal structure has been reduced on the bridge deck by a rescue team .

The woman was taken to hospital, even if it did not hurt it seems. The SQ reported that she could face a charge of public mischief.

The closure of the Jacques-Cartier, in the end but the beginning of the night rush hour, caused significant delays in Montérégie road. Many congestion were reported near other crossings of the St. Lawrence River to enter the island of Montreal.

This is the second such incident to have occurred in Quebec in less than a week.
Last Friday, a 33 year old man caused a traffic nightmare in the region of Quebec, is juchant the Pierre Laporte Bridge, causing its closure for three hours. This individual was arrested Wednesday and a judge ordered his continued detention.

Other obstacles to the movement will occur on the Jacques Cartier Bridge this weekend, but due to work.

Police surveillance for second day
The second day of the Fair Plan Nord, a "huge success" according to its organizers, was held under heavy police surveillance, Saturday, at the Palais des congrès in Montreal.

When we stepped inside the convention center, one could see immediately the intervention of the Police Service of the City of Montreal (SPVM), uniformed police officers with vests and helmets as well as members of the 'riot squad on patrol in ranks, by sounding the sound of their boots.

There were even security guards of private enterprise BEST - Property of Garda - who made headlines for his presence at the University of Montreal last week. To reach the 7th floor, where was the exhibition, visitors were also cross four "checkpoints" where we had to show their credentials.

And if the bracelet or identification card were no longer visible, a security guard was quick to let us out.

"It's pretty impressive, I find it scary to see that we went in there," Jacques told, a construction worker who seeks employment in the North. Like many others, he seemed impressed by the safety device.

Another World
Once in the living room, participants quickly forget the troubles outside. Nearly 800 people - not including exhibitors - wandered from booth to another, meeting with businessmen and representatives of northern cities.

At the sound of music "lounge" and a felted area Valleyfield gave even small bottles of vodka: the turmoil that took place in the streets of Montreal seemed far away.

In a recent interview with the Guardian, co-founder of Google had harsh words against two competing companies: Apple and Facebook. Sergey Brin were accused of threatening especially when opening the Web by developing closed environments.

These statements have not gone unnoticed. Sergey Brin felt a need to clarify something. What he did on his page + Google. This ticket is for Brin the opportunity to return in part on his past reviews.

To justify himself, the founder of Google said that the article is "a short summary of a lengthy discussion." He also believes that his "thoughts were particularly distorted" in the times of the Guardian article.

Sergey Brin (Google) now declares his admiration for Apple and Facebook
Evidence that the error lies with third parties, the press in this case is that Sergey Brin is appreciative of Apple and Facebook. "I have always admired Apple products. In fact, I even write this post on an Imac and using an Apple keyboard that I have cherished for the past 7 years, "said he to illustrate his point.

"Facebook helped connect hundreds of millions of people and has become a key tool for political expression, but was also an instrument of Arab Spring" Sergey Brin continues to contradict the meaning of previous statements attributed to him - making censorship State and practices of these two giants of web at the same level.

Rave reviews for Mr. Lazhar United States

Side of the New York Times, the critic speaks of "an exquisite balance between adult and childhood visions of education," and applauded the children's natural.

Auto Show New York: the comeback of the sedan

noreply@blogger.com (Bangpress Setya) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 02:55:12 PDT

Auto Show New York: the comeback of the sedan
If the last Detroit Auto Show was the scene of madness and presented conceptual prototypes for the future, as New York, recently opened its doors in the Big Apple, focuses on the sedans' bread and butter "with which will live (or will live) manufacturers. Look at what is soon pointing at a dealer near you.

2014 Chevrolet Impala: a nose for the Camaro
Sounds a bit strange, that nose to the Camaro affixed to a sedan Germanic curves. But it is the style qu'arborera the 10th generation Chevrolet Impala on his arrival on the market next year. The Impala is one of the oldest automotive signatures of our time: it has sold over 16 million units in 55-year history (roughly what it sold for new vehicles in Canada , all brands and all genres over the past nine years ...) The V6 remains in office, but he won the direct injection and an additional fifty horses (303 horses). It will add not one but two four-cylinder engines, including a 2.4-liter twin device in mid-Hybrid E-Assist, already in place at Buick. Embedded technology will go through the adaptive cruise control - a nice treat appreciated by those who do a lot of highway.

The 2013 Nissan Altima "buttock in the job"
Seat "zero gravity" inspired by NASA, a device that reads the driver's texting, an active suspension ... The fifth generation of the Altima midsize sedan promises to "spank the job" by providing current technologies usually reserved the most luxurious cars. However, the base price remains about the same ($ 23,698). The four-cylinder (2.5 liters) gains in power (from 158 to 182 horsepower), which can not hurt. The 3.5-liter V6 will continue to produce over 270 horsepower or less, but we promise it will be less greedy. No diesel in the near future, but a hybrid Altima, yes. The good news: the CVT has been enhanced. The bad news: this is the only transmission offered, since it eliminates the manual transmission.

THE Concept: Infiniti also connects
Where the Nissan Leaf wants to democratize the electric car, the concept of THE Infiniti wants to make it more luxurious. Hopefully, this 100% electric sedan - therefore, zero emissions - expected to begin production within two years. As for the Leaf, this is called a maximum power autonomy of 160 km. Port charging hidden (very discreetly) under the Infiniti logo is added to the grid at the back, a wireless device charging by induction. Yet he will install the thing in his garage, but what do you, the future is upon us. Beyond the technology gets in the prototype, there is a design of great fluidity, quite beautiful - the second biggest blow to the heart of the New York Auto Show, after the Viper SRT. Do not expect that the accents on the grille of light beyond the concept stage, they are just for "show" ...

Even more sedans

SRT Viper: no longer call the Dodge!
While all the others spoke of quiet electric and hybrid frugal, a manufacturer has not bothered to make the walls of the hum Jacob Javits Center in New York. 8.4 liter V10 engine under the (long) cover for 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque, six-speed manual transmission, 0-100 km / h in a twig of more than three seconds ... The Viper SRT stole the show. A return of the Dodge Viper, which had bowed out in 2010? Yes and no: it is indeed a fifth generation of powered two-seater sports car, but it is under the banner the TRS we find. This is a first draft of the new performance division of the Chrysler Group. The furious style - and by far the most beautiful body in this view auto show - is to Ralph Gilles we should. A dream for those who grew up in Montreal, to have been responsible for such a mission - he who as a child dreamed of just ... Viper. Production is scheduled for the end of the year, and we are promised a road behavior more domesticated than the previous generation (1992-2010).

New York New York is not without its taxis ...
We could finally see the next taxi in the Big Apple. The NV200 small van are the Japanese automaker Nissan built in Mexico ... and, starting next year, will gradually (and exclusively) to replace the current Crown Victoria and Ford Escape. Each year, 13,000 taxis in New York carry around 600,000 people at more than 500 million miles. The heir to the Checker seen at New York Auto Show (and at a private unveiling in Soho), we like sliding doors that will not interfere with traffic, the charging point in the passenger compartment for laptops and essential smartphones, as well as the panoramic roof that allows to admire the skyscrapers. And since Nissan is also the Electric Leaf, is expected NV200 electric taxis to New York in 2017.

Public Telephones: against an increase to $ 1
The Advocacy Centre Public Interest Group and the Canada Without Poverty denounce the control of Bell Canada and Bell Aliant to ask permission to double the fee for using a payphone.

Both companies are asking the Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to allow the costs of a local call to spend $ 1 to $ 0.50 when paying with cash. If their application is approved, the price paid for a call using a card could be increased to $ 2.

The Advocacy Centre for the public interest and poverty-free Canada wrote to the CRTC to support that such rate increases would offend the poorest of Canadians. In their view, this type of communication medium would be devastated by such increases and companies would come to abandon their obligation to maintain it.

Public Telephones: against an increase to $ 1
Earlier this year, the CRTC determined that comments on the request of both companies could be transmitted until last Friday, March 30. The Council must now determine additional steps that follow.

Bell Canada and Bell Aliant argued that they should invest their telephones to adapt to the new $ 1 coins that the Mint will release this year. Since the number of users of these phones is decreasing in favor of cell phones, each one should pay more to cover costs, they added.

In 2007, rates of pay phones for local calls were doubled when they went from $ 0.25 to $ 0.50.
