German design graduate Rebecca Weiss has won a James Dyson Award for a male contraceptive device called Coso, which uses ultrasound waves to temporarily halt sperm regeneration.
Plein de questions tout de même…
Ça vous semble confortable, à vous ? Sinon y’a plusieurs tailles ? Ça passe au lave-vaisselle ? Ça fait pas double-emploi avec le vaccin (soit-disant) contre le Covid ? Et est-ce que c’est plus ou moins agréable que l’Andro-Switch référencé ici au début de l’été :

Avec son livre Racée, Rachel Khan fait son entrée dans le débat par la grande porte. À contre-courant de l’histoire de l’antiracisme. De sa propre histoire. Récit d’un retournage de veste olympique. Source : Regards
Bref. Jusqu’en 2018, #Rachel_Khan était noire. Elle le revendiquait. Depuis, elle semble ne plus vouloir l’être. Ou pour être précis, elle ne veut plus entendre parler de sa couleur de peau. Un non sujet pour elle dorénavant. Que s’est-il passé ? Comment peut-on, en février 2019, éprouver « l’honneur d’être cette maîtresse de cérémonie » où est présente Assa Traoré et, en mars 2021, se retrouver sous les louanges de Valeurs actuelles : « L’écrivain Rachel Khan juge que le “combat” d’Assa Traoré est une “forme d’opportunisme dérangeant” » ? Comment peut-on écrire en mars 2018 « Noires, nous sommes les femmes invisibles du cinéma français » puis donner une interview en mars 2021 au Figaro pour dire : « Le discours victimaire des pseudo-antiracistes m’est insupportable » ?
Mais cette nouvelle Rachel Khan ne parvient pas à faire oublier en totalité l’ancienne. Elle est toujours là. Ainsi, elle peut rejeter le débat sur la racialisation tout en ne parlant que de cela : de race, des origines de ses parents. Rachel Khan le dit elle-même : elle a plein de races en elle.
Rachel Khan, #prototype_intersectionnel
Au-delà de ses mots, des idées qu’elle peut défendre, il y a autre chose chez Rachel Khan qui plaît beaucoup à ces Jean Moulin des internets : son attitude. Ils voient en elle une femme un peu naïve, emplie de bonne volonté, fervente croyante des dogmes républicains… Du sexisme teinté de racisme. Même Pascal Praud l’adoube. Une non-blanche qui ne challenge pas la blanchité de ces messieurs, ils en rêvaient, elle l’a fait.
Sur le féminisme aussi, elle a vrillé. De la dénonciation du harcèlement en ligne, du journal Causette, elle devient défenseure de personnalités telles que Raphaël Enthoven, qui excelle en la matière – Rachel Khan reprend même son vocabulaire, quand elle qualifie Rokhaya Diallo de « rentière » de l’antiracisme. Il faut constater que Rachel Khan n’est plus, non plus, une femme. Elle en refuse l’assignation de la même façon qu’elle n’est plus noire. Elle est l’intersectionnalité à l’envers. Imaginez donc Rachel Khan participant à un événement organisé par Lallab, une asso féministe et musulmane, qui défend les femmes voilées, qui use de la non-mixité… l’enfer sur Terre pour ses amis d’aujourd’hui qui l’aurait crucifiée avant-hier !
Finalement, Rachel Khan n’est rien d’autre qu’un #produit_culturel. À la mode. Début 2020, elle est nommée codirectrice de La Place, centre culturel consacré au hip-hop à Paris. Dans une lettre ouverte, plusieurs activistes et professionnels du hip-hop réagissent : « Depuis bientôt une semaine, Rachel Khan fait le tour des médias pour promouvoir son livre "Racée". Dans ses entretiens aux médias et sur ses réseaux sociaux elle tient des propos qui selon nous vont à l’encontre des valeurs d’inclusivité, de partage et de vivre ensemble que la culture Hip Hop a toujours prôné. Au sein de la culture Hip Hop ces termes signifient le refus de toute forme de discrimination, de rejet de la différence, le refus des dogmes, la prise en compte de l’autre tel qu’il est et non tel qu’on voudrait qu’il soit, de rencontres par et à travers nos différences et l’acceptation des parcours et construction de chacun, dans ce contexte, les attaques contre les activistes antiracistes sont intolérables pour un personnage publique représentant la culture Hip Hop. Rachel Khan bafoue les valeurs d’une culture qui nous est chère avec des propos clivants, validés par la frange la plus réactionnaire des médias français. »
En ce début d’année 2021, Rachel Khan a été nommée à la tête de la commission Sport de la Licra. Quelques semaines plus tard, Manuel Valls succède à Simone Veil au comité d’honneur de cette même Licra. Il n’y a pas de mots assez fort pour exprimer ce que ces deux symboles représentent en terme de dévoiement du combat contre le racisme.
Récemment, cette ligue « internationale » contre le « racisme » et l’« antisémitisme » a publié une fausse Une du Time, où Rachel Khan serait à l’honneur en tant qu’« antiraciste de l’année ». En décembre 2020, sur sa page Facebook, Rachel Khan en diffusait une autre, représentant exactement la même chose. Or, la seule personnalité antiraciste française que le Time ait consacrée, c’est Assa Traoré. Que faut-il en comprendre ? Que cette petite communauté se rêve un monde. Un monde où ils seraient, tous, bel et bien antiracistes. Mais ce n’est qu’un songe. Dans la vraie vie, Manuel Valls manifeste aux côtés des franquistes et Rachel Khan, dans un désir de réconciliation – de quoi, entre qui ? – s’affiche volontiers avec le très droitier Mathieu Bock-Côté, « rires au soleil ».
Toute incohérence politique, elle, serait purement fortuite.

Let’s Call it a Wall
The border between the US and Mexico was first defined by the “United States and Mexican Boundary Survey” (1848–1855) in accordance with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican–American War.
About forty years later, the first border control point was installed, in 1896 at Eagle Pass, Texas. In 1918, the first recorded border fence was built at Nogales, Arizona. Its construction was ordered by Felix B. Peñaloza, the mayor, of Nogales, Mexico. In his opinion, the fence would help to “direct the flow of people crossing the border through two gateways, to make it easier for a growing number of soldiers, customs agents, and other officials to oversee transborder movement.”
But soon after fence was erected, a conflict broke that resulted in a two-hour shootout between officers on both sides. “At least twelve Mexicans and Americans had been killed, including Peñaloza, who had built the fence precisely to minimize the risk of conflict between the nations.”
Despite the fact that this first fence building activity was not very successful in negotiating conflicts, the fence in Nogales remained, and more barriers were about to come. Yet it was not until the 1990s that signs of serious barrier construction appeared. The most significant fence building activity before the 1990s was a five-mile chain-link fence in 1945 and twenty-seven miles of punched-out-metal fence during the Carter era in the late 1970s dubbed the “Tortilla Curtain.”
Most fences during the postwar period were erected on both sides of border at crossing points to prevent vehicles and people from circumventing controls.
In the 1990s, first fences separate from border crossing points were erected out of portable Marston Mats (M8A1).
These ten-foot-long, fifteen-inches-thick corrugated metal panels were originally used during the Vietnam War as landing pads for aircraft and parking areas for vehicles. Yet at the border, supported by metal studs, they formed a ten-foot-high steel wall. Marston Mat walls can still be found along large parts of the border today, in every state except Texas.
Until the mid-2000s, border fence construction remained rather marginal. Only fifty miles of the 1,954-mile-long border were fenced by the end of the 1990s. The annual budget for “Tactical Infrastructure” (the bureaucratic term for border barriers) was $6 million in 2002, and still as low as $15 million in 2005.
In 2007, however, the budget skyrocketed to $647 million. This sudden increase was a result of the “Secure Fence Act of 2006,” which authorized and partially funded the construction of 700 miles of fencing along the US-Mexican border. The Act was signed into law on October 26, 2006, by US President George W. Bush, with wide bipartisan support (including senators Obama, Clinton, Schumer, and Biden).
▻https://vimeo.com/400921834#at=8
Until the Secure Fence Act, there were no clear design guidelines for border barriers, which resulted in a large variety of fence typologies. We have identified eight barrier and wall typologies, plus eleven fence typologies. Of these nineteen typologies, many varieties in topping, foundation, and dimension exist, which is the result of differences in terrain, year of construction, and different contractors. From this large diversity of border barrier typologies, one particular fence has recently come to the fore: Personnel-Vehicle Fence Type 1 (PV-1).
The first mentioning of the Personnel-Vehicle Fence Type 1 (PV-1) is issued in a document by the Department of Homeland Security dated May 2008, a few months before the completion of the first segment using PV-1 fencing. The fence consists of vertical steel bollards with a six-by-six-inch square profile filled with concrete. The distance between the vertical bollards is about five inches (the original sketch in the 2008 document shows less distance between the bollards, but an opening for cats to pass through instead). Nine vertical bollards are mounted together to form one fence element which is placed in an in-situ concrete foundation. At the top, the PV-1 finishes with a five-foot-high steel plate, but occasionally, this plate is omitted. The first PV-1, built in August 2008, is still standing at Andrade, California, between Boundary Monument 210 and 207.PV-1 became “the fence,” or better known as “the wall,” in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, and who later downgraded it to “steel slats.” The PV-1’s breakthrough moment was on October 26, 2018, in Calexico, California when the president mounted a plaque on it to commemorate the erection of his first section of the border wall. Yet the wall was not a wall, but a fence, one that was designed during the George W. Bush administration, and the particular section in Calexico being commemorated was in fact a replacement of an existing structure that was already approved and built by the Obama administration in 2009.
There is little known about the person, or team behind the design of PV-1, but the 2008 brief exists and states clearly that the fence must:
extend fifteen-to-eighteen feet above ground and be supported in subsurface footers at depths deemed necessary;
be capable of withstanding an impact from a 10,000-pound gross weight vehicle traveling at forty miles per hour;
be semi-transparent, as dictated by operational need;
be designed to survive extreme climate changes of a desert environment;
be designed to allow movement of small animals from one side to the other; and
not impede the natural flow of water.
The only difference between the initial design and the current version of PV-1 is height. While the 2008 brief mentions fifteen-to-eighteen feet, its current design is eighteen-to-thirty feet.
After Trump spent $3.3 million on the construction of eight new border wall prototypes, the final success of the PV-1 was ultimately decided upon by Congress. In approving the budget for the 2017–2019 fiscal years, Congress included a note in the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill that the apportioned money has to be used on “previously deployed and operationally effective designs, such as currently deployed steel bollard designs, that prioritize agent safety.”
Additionally, it was stated that the money only can be spent on barrier replacement, not new barrier construction.
While this might have been seen as a blow for Trump and his promised wall, in July 2017, a year before the eight prototypes have been completed, he already mentioned that PV-1 might be the “wall” he always had in mind. Yet the war of words continued. The Congressional Research Service mentioned in its January 2020 “DHS Border Barrier Funding” report that “News stories indicate that the White House has reportedly asked CBP [Customs and Border Protection] to stop using the term “replacement barrier” because it sounds like a lesser accomplishment.” The White House prefers to use the term “new border wall system.”
PV-1 construction continues. In December 2019, two companies were commissioned with PV-1 construction: $789 million is being paid to the Galveston, Texas-based general contractors SLSCO Ltd., which will replace forty-six miles of vehicle barriers along the New Mexico border; and the Bozeman, Montana-based construction company Barnard Construction Co. received a $187 million contract to build eleven miles of fencing in three separate segments along the Yuma County border in southwestern Arizona.PV-1 is slowly turning into an iconic structure, symbolizing the border between the US and Mexico, not unlike how the concrete wall with its rounded top symbolized the Berlin Wall. Yet no barrier is unsurmountable.

US Testing Autonomous Border-Patrol Drones
#Planck_Aerosystems gets funding to try its small rotorcraft in operational environments over the next three to six months.
The Customs and Border Protection agency is getting ready to test autonomous drones that can provide situational awareness for agents working between ports of entry.
The agency has been working with colleagues at Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate Silicon Valley Innovation Program to build and test prototypes of Planck Aerosystems’ autonomous #small_unmanned_aircraft_systems, or #sUAS. The agencies announced a fourth round of funding Thursday, granting Planck $200,000 to test its #prototype in operational environments over the next three to six months.
“Planck’s system capability enables a sUAS to launch from and land on the bed of a moving vehicle, in addition to providing fully autonomous navigation coupled with a securing mechanism, advanced computer vision capabilities and customized communications interfaces,” according to the announcement from S&T. “Through a combination of integrated technologies, including full-motion video, automatic target detection and geolocation, Planck seeks to provide CBP agents with a portable, ruggedized detection system that provides real-time situational awareness in the field.”
The Silicon Valley Innovation Program uses the department’s other transaction authority to foster development of technologies that can be applied directly to agency missions. As part of the incremental funding structure, the program offers individual projects up to $800,000 across four phases, beginning with $50,000 to $200,000 awarded to develop a proof-of-concept demo.
If the demo is successful, S&T can opt to continue the project with an award of between $50,000 and $200,000 for phase two, which consists of building a pilot-ready prototype within three to six months. Phases three and four—with the same funding and time ranges—provide for testing the prototype through a pilot and in various operational scenarios, respectively.
Planck Aerosystems’ project was awarded full funding for the fourth phase to begin testing its systems in live environments.
“S&T is looking for technologies to enhance the efficacy of CBP patrols while simultaneously increasing the safety of patrolling agents,” said Melissa Oh, managing director of the Silicon Valley Innovation Program. “We look forward to the ways Planck will further refine its technology in support of this homeland security mission.”

Priority Guides : A Content-First Alternative to Wireframes · An A List Apart Article
►http://alistapart.com/article/priority-guides-a-content-first-alternative-to-wireframes
C’est intéressant même si je ne suis pas d’accord avec le démarrage de sa réflexion sur le faire qu’un wireframe c’est forcément un dessin statique (et donc dans son argumentation pas responsive etc).
Du coup c’est déjà un peu ce qu’on fait, puisqu’on commence par mettre des blocs de contenu (faux ou plus précis suivant ce qu’on connait comme détails à ce moment) dans du HTML. Puis on style ce HTML en bloc que l’on place petit à petit. On pourrait aller plus loin et vraiment commencer par TOUT mettre en détail et faire valider cette liste de choses à placer dans un ordre de priorité, puis le styler une fois que c’est validé seulement.
Mais du coup ses documents de priorités il continue de les faire en pixels, alors qu’on peut parfaitement les faire en HTML directement (et donc au départ c’est mobile first tant qu’on n’a rien stylé oui mais on PEUT les styler ensuite, ce qui n’est pas possible avec un truc statique).
Bref, ça va dans le bon sens, mais je pense qu’il faut continuer à améliorer dans la voix de partir directement sur le HTML, jamais depuis un outil statique : aussi puissant qu’ils peuvent être (sketch etc), je trouve que c’est obsolète, des outils du passé, pour la majorité des cas.
#conception #web #prototype #design #maquette #méthodologie #bonnes_pratiques
Alors je suis tout à fait d’accord, je viens encore d’en faire les frais ^^ Les outils comme sketch ou autre enferme dans une reflexion « pixel perfect » qui effectivement viens du print ou tout du moins tendrait a y ressembler.
Le problème c’est aussi les gens qui utilisent le logiciel. Je retrouve les mêmes erreurs de conception de document, identiques a quand je faisais de la production et que j’executais les doc des directeurs artistique (ex 30 couleurs aucune dans le même format).
On récolte donc des protos, conçues par des gens qui n’on jamais intégré ou conscience du markup, ni des implications de leurs choix graphiques.
En exemple le plus courrant, des titres qui change de place suivant le mode mobile, mais change de bloc container : on se retrouve a dupliquer le code, a masquer en aria-hidden pour pas que les lecteurs vocaux double… bref moi j’aime pas et généralement on peut faire sans …
Ce sont des méthodes ou type de réflexion, qui vont a l’encontre du progressive enhancement, et du mobile first.
La en tout cas ce concept est intéressant car on pense la page en fonction du contenu réel : ce qui est totalement l’inverse des méthodes les plus couramment employées, encore largement tirés du print, sauf que l’ont à enlevé des étapes comme le calibrage ^^, et que maintenant on nous envoie le contenu quand le travail est fini, on marche à l’envers.
Il y’a quelques années, j’avais été intéressé, par un projet Project Hub lancé par Brad Frost (Atomic Design methodology) : ▻https://github.com/bradfrost/project-hub. En fait l’idée est de constatent garder le fil avec le client en le poussant a participer (genre Agile) . Je pense que l’implication, le suivi, le déroulement devrait faire partie d’un seul outil ou chaque intervenant à accès aux infos, a la timeline, des notifications rappels, guideline, …
Dans un outil qui gérerait l’ensemble de la progression, l’exemple cité dans l’article peut effectivement permettre au SEO, marketeux de faire leur sauce en parallèle de l’intégrateur, sans interférer avec la partie purement dev.
Je pense que réfléchir parallèlement ainsi pourrait éviter pas mal de problème pour ceux qui sont en fin de chaine, et surtout amener à se poser les bonnes questions sans penser QUE cosmétique mais contenu. Certainement un gain de temps aussi quand on travaille a plusieurs intervenants, …

Eight Ways to Build a #Border #Wall - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/08/upshot/eight-ways-to-build-a-border-wall-prototypes-mexico.html
SAN DIEGO — They all stand neatly in a row: eight large panels on a barren dirt patch just a few hundred yards from the San Diego border with Mexico. Unveiled in late October, these are the prototypes for the border wall President Trump has vowed to erect on the southern border. Later this year, the federal government will test the panels for strength and effectiveness.
These prototypes make clear that a border wall is not simple: It can vary considerably in material, shape and cost. And while it is far from clear that Congress will pay for a wall or that any of these designs will be built at wider scale, they are real-life renderings of a promise that fueled much of Mr. Trump’s campaign.
Here are the eight prototypes under consideration:

As border wall prototype construction starts, Arizona geographer speaks up
PHOENIX – Leaving behind violence and poverty, a Central American family travels thousands of miles by foot, train, and bus. Once they finally arrive at the U.S. border, they have one more difficult decision to make: carry a bag full of marijuana and cross the desert with some help, or risk their life and cross alone.
Trump said he’ll pick a border wall design himself. Turns out, he can.
Experts on government contracting said Tuesday that as head of the executive branch, the president has the authority to direct an agency to award a contract to a particular bidder, though they strongly advise against it.

’Another brick in the wall’: 8 prototypes of Trump’s US-Mexico border wall are put on display in San Diego - as seen from Tijuana
Eight Ways to Build a Border Wall
SAN DIEGO — They all stand neatly in a row: eight large panels on a barren dirt patch just a few hundred yards from the San Diego border with Mexico. Unveiled in late October, these are the prototypes for the border wall President Trump has vowed to erect on the southern border. Later this year, the federal government will test the panels for strength and effectiveness.
Trump’s border wall through the eyes of an architecture critic
As for their looks? This was the most surprising thing of all. When I first caught sight of them from the SUV, I worried about making even basic distinctions among them. They looked virtually identical. But as I spent more time in this odd open-air architecture gallery, it became clear that the aesthetic spectrum the prototypes covered was very wide.
The one furthest east, by #Fisher_Sand_&_Gravel, was the idea of a wall stripped to its essence, suggesting a kind of accidental minimalism, a section of a Peter Zumthor facade after a trip through the federal bureaucracy. Made of three panels that matched almost perfectly the color of the dirt at its feet, it was the simplest of the group and also — at $365,000 — among the least expensive to produce.
A very different sensibility was evident in the slab designed by #ELTA. Its bottom half was concrete, its upper half metal. The concrete section (though only on the side facing the U.S., per the official guidelines) was painted white and blue, as if it were covering a split-level ranch house outside Phoenix.
Also in this decorative vein was the concrete wall by #Texas_Sterling_Construction, which featured a white faux-brick pattern stamped into its American side. The argument these two walls made was pragmatism à la HGTV: that any piece of construction could be humanized, even made cheerful, with some measured, cost-effective ornament.
What the prototypes didn’t resemble, in any practical sense, was a wall. (A swatch of fabric is not a shirt; a lone panel from an umbrella won’t keep you dry when it rains.) It wasn’t just that they suggested Potemkin slices, architectural stand-ins to match the human ones Trump’s campaign invited to the news conference kicking off his White House bid.

Congress may stiff Trump on wall funding
Congressional Republicans might deliver some more bad news for President Donald Trump, fresh off their embarrassing failure to scrap Obamacare: No new money is coming to build his wall.
“The border wall is probably not a smart investment,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who proposes funding the wall as part a package legalizing some young undocumented immigrants and beefing up enforcement.

GOP drops US-Mexico wall demands as spending talks advance
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional negotiators on Tuesday inched toward a potential agreement on a catchall spending bill that would deny President Donald Trump’s request for immediate funding to construct a wall along the Mexico border. The emerging measure would increase the defense budget and eliminate the threat of a government shutdown on Trump’s 100th day in office this Saturday.

Why Trump’s wall won’t stretch ‘from sea to shining sea’
Over the past few weeks, Trump’s pledge to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has run into political and logistical problems, raising questions about how much will be funded and built. An April 30 deal to fund the government through September excluded funds for Trump’s wall. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) anticipated in an interview to CNN that a funding plan without the wall will be challenged: “You are going to see a lot of conservatives against this plan this week.”

Border wall contractor once paid $3 million to settle federal fraud investigation
One of the four companies picked by the Trump administration this week for its Mexico border wall prototype paid more than $3 million to settle a Justice Department criminal investigation into whether it defrauded the U.S. government through its participation in a federal “mentor-protégé” program to help disadvantaged small business contractors, records show.
The firm, #Caddell_Construction_Company Inc., a major commercial and industrial federal government construction contractor based in Montgomery, Alabama, did not admit wrongdoing in the 2012 case.

Here Are the Makings of Trump’s Border Wall
This is the start of something.
Here are among the first photos of prototypes for President Donald Trump’s promised U.S.-Mexico border wall — actually two walls — that are being constructed near San Diego.
Four prototypes are being made of concrete for the wall the will face the U.S. And four others for the wall that faces Mexico will be made of other materials that allow that wall to be seen through. Six contractors were hired to construct the eight prototypes, which will range from 18-30 feet high.

Trump suggests the military might build the border wall
President Trump hinted in a tweet on Sunday that the military could be tasked with building a wall on the Mexican border after a $1.3 trillion spending bill failed to include the funds he sought to erect the structure.
“Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich,” Trump wrote in a posting about the increase in military spending. “Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense.

Who Owns the Border?
Before Trump’s wall can be built, landowners need to agree. Not all of them are enthusiastic about it.
Government officials meet with Starr County leaders about border wall’s location
Starr County residents will soon find out how border wall construction will affect them.
That’s because notices for landowners in the western edge of the Rio Grande Valley will begin arriving in about three weeks, according to Roma Mayor Roberto Salinas.
Salinas said that information was conveyed to him and several officials from other cities in the county Monday during a meeting with U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Last week, CBP and Border Patrol officials confirmed that landowners in Hidalgo and Starr counties would “immediately” begin receiving notices regarding construction along the U.S.-Mexico border as it pertains to their land.
The meeting Monday with Starr County leaders was directly related to that announcement last week — in which CBP and U.S. Army Corp of Engineers officials said they would begin reaching out to landowners in the Valley to conduct “#Rights_of_Entry_for_Survey,” or (#ROE-S), in order to commence the real estate, environmental and design processes for the border infrastructure projects that were funded in CBP’s 2018 fiscal year plan.
“The #Rio_Grande_Valley sector is slated for 25 miles of new levee wall along the Rio Grande River and 8 to 12 miles of bollard wall in Starr County, #Texas — closing gaps along the border in the RGV sector is also part of the border wall project,” CBP announced following the omnibus bill’s passage at the end of March.
According to Salinas, landowners in the Starr County area will receive notification from the federal government within three weeks regarding the segment of wall and fencing in the county.
Salinas said he and other city officials were told during the meeting that the wall construction would begin east of the Fronton area and extend 5.5 miles into #Escobares, but uncertainty remains regarding the downtown area.
Border Patrol spokesman Daniel Tirado confirmed Monday’s meeting with Starr County leaders — stating that RGV Sector personnel met with city officials to provide “the most current information available regarding the proposed infrastructure construction in Starr County.”
“The topic of discussion was the approximately 8-12 miles of border barrier in Starr County and the preliminary barrier alignment proposals which are still pending survey and engineering approval,” Tirado said in an email. “It was also mentioned that potential impacted landowners in Starr County will soon receive a right of entry request letter from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to begin the necessary studies.”
The mayor also said that in addition to himself, he was joined by officials from Rio Grande City, Escobares and La Grulla.

Congress may snub Trump on wall, risking shutdown

Congress to push stop-gap funding bill with no border wall money
The U.S. Congress, aiming to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of this week, began advancing legislation on Wednesday to temporarily fund several federal agencies through Feb. 8, but without money for a U.S.-Mexico border wall that President Donald Trump demanded.
“We’ll soon take up a simple measure that will continue government funding into February so that we can continue this vital (border security) debate after the new Congress has convened” in January, said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
A Senate Democratic aide said the appropriations bill, which would keep the Department of Homeland Security and several other agencies operating on a temporary basis, was expected to pass the Senate either on Wednesday or Thursday.
The House of Representatives would then have to pass the bill and hope that Trump signs it into law, avoiding a shutdown because existing funding for the agencies will expire at midnight on Friday.
By postponing decisions on spending for the agencies that also includes the departments of Justice, Commerce, Interior and Agriculture, Democrats will be in a somewhat stronger bargaining position next year when they take majority control of the House.
Democrats and many Republicans have challenged the wisdom of giving Trump $5 billion this year, and ultimately a total of at least $24 billion, to build a wall that they argue would be less effective in securing the border than building on a mix of tools already in place.
In a last-ditch attempt to resolve the impasse this year, Trump and McConnell on Tuesday proposed giving Trump a $1 billion fund that he could use at his discretion for border security.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer labeled that a “slush fund” that would lack the votes to pass Congress.
On Wednesday, McConnell attacked Democrats for rejecting it, saying, “It seems like political spite for the president may be winning out over sensible policy.”
The Ongoing Border-Wall Fight and the Limits of Public Attention
What with crowing over the end of Robert Mueller’s investigation and vowing revenge on his enemies, President Trump seems to have forgotten all about the national emergency at the southern border that he declared just a few weeks ago. Much of the public has moved on, too. The rest of the government, though, continues to deal with the consequences of Trump’s decision. Earlier this month, the House and Senate voted—with what these days constitutes significant bipartisan support—to block Trump’s declaration, seeing it for what it was: a way for the President to run around Congress and grab billions of dollars for a border wall that lawmakers wouldn’t otherwise give him. Trump then countered Congress with a veto. (“VETO!” he tweeted, as if he were Michael Scott, the boss character on “The Office,” declaring bankruptcy.)
On Tuesday, the House voted on a measure to override Trump’s veto. Democrats hold a thirty-eight-seat majority in the House, and the entire caucus voted for the override, with fourteen Republicans joining them. But the measure fell short of the two-thirds majority it needed to pass. Despite more grumbling than usual, congressional Republicans have once again let Trump have his way. Separation of powers, the power of the purse—these things are not worth angering the base over, evidently. And why anger the base if you’ve got the judicial branch as a backstop? The fight over Trump’s national emergency will now move to the courts, where rulings, appeals, and more rulings await. Let judges sort it out.
It’s been three months since Trump shut down the government over border-wall funding, and two months since the shutdown ended. There’s been much else to occupy the public’s attention in the past few weeks: the end of the Mueller investigation, nascent Democratic Presidential campaigns, various congressional inquiries, March Madness. Will the border-wall fight end up like the travel-ban fight, Trump’s other signature effort to reimagine the nation’s borders? In the case of the travel ban, cycles of public outrage and Administration retrenchment gave way to a legal fight that ultimately resulted in the travel ban, if altered, being implemented. Last year, thirty-seven thousand people from eight countries—Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia, and Yemen—were denied visas to the U.S. under the authority of the ban, yet public debate has all but evaporated. The slog of federal legal proceedings is not conducive to sustained public attention. Last month, more than a dozen states sued the Trump Administration over the emergency declaration. The courts are the venue where the border-wall fight is going. Public attention should follow, too.

Dans le centre du #prototype, nous voyons un nouveau GPU, qui selon quelques recherches effectuées par ComputerBase, serait un #GM204 #Maxwell. La taille de ce dernier est supérieure à celle du GK104, qui a été le premier #GPU haut de gamme Kepler, mais légèrement plus petit que GK110.

David Aycan et Paolo Lorenzoni d’IDEO dressent sur la Harvard Business Review une intéressante distinction dans les formes de prototypage. Le prototypage rapide vise la quantité sur la qualité. Il consiste à créer par des croquis ou des protypes en pate à modeler ou en carton, une idée, un service ou un produit et à l’affiner par la souplesse de sa forme. A l’inverse le pilote et les prototypes techniques sont utilisés pour prouver la viabilité économique, montrer la faisabilité technique, mais sont coûteux à fabriquer. Le prototypage direct offre une troisième voie entre ces deux extrêmes, estiment les designers : il s’agit de libérer des concepts bruts dans le contexte où les consommateurs pourraient les rencontrer, comme dans un magasin réel, pour observer leurs réactions.
