Turn Your Rarely Used Space Into A Multi Purpose Room
The document provides tips for maximizing space in a multi-purpose room. It recommends starting by identifying needs and priorities. Then create a floor plan on a blank slate and consider arranging items and zoning areas for different functions. Using multi-functional furniture like beds that double as seating can help utilize space. Built-ins provide storage while saving floor space. Balance different areas and make the space personal through custom details. The example of remodeling an office space demonstrates applying these tips to create distinct zones for a media area, bar, guest room and storage within the limited space.

3) Beyond publishing, authors also have options for designing covers, converting files, getting ISBN numbers, creating websites, and using social media and analytics to promote their work.

June 11 NISO Webinar Fragmented Publishing: The Implications of Self-PublishingNational Information Standards Organization (NISO)
About the Webinar
In the six years from 2006 to 2012, the number of self-published books grew an astounding 270% to more than 235,000, almost as many as were published "traditionally." The easy access to publication tools and distribution mechanisms has ushered in a new era of how content is created and disseminated. No longer do authors need to work through a publisher to have their content accepted, processed, and distributed. The impacts of this revolution in publishing extend well beyond what used to be called "vanity publishing." A variety of best-selling books in recent years have come out from successful self-publishers sharing their tips on how others can follow in their footsteps.
How can publishers capitalize on this author independence? How do libraries incorporate self-published works into their acquisition processes? When there is no publisher reputation behind a title, how does a library or user separate the wheat from the chaff? This webinar will explore these issues and the impacts of the self-publishing movement on both publishers and libraries.

All About E-Singles
This document discusses e-singles, which are short digital works between 5,000-30,000 words published as standalone ebooks. E-singles are released by traditional publishers, magazines, startups, and Amazon. They cover fiction and nonfiction topics and are sold on ebook stores, standalone websites, and apps. While e-singles allow maintaining reader interest and monetizing short works, challenges include consumer confusion over pricing and finding an audience for every title. Overall, e-singles are doing well, with Kindle Singles selling over 2 million copies, though growth may depend on improved discoverability.
E publishing
E-publishing involves the digital creation and distribution of electronic content like books, images, text, music and videos. It has several advantages over print publishing like lower production costs, smaller inventory investments, and easier updating. India has over 20,000 publishing entities producing content in various languages, and e-publishing is growing rapidly in the country. Skills needed for careers in e-publishing include backgrounds in sciences, languages, editing, programming, and continuous learning. The future of publishing is increasingly driven by technology and new business models.

This document discusses OpenFisca, an open-source tax-benefit modeling framework, and LexImpact, a tool built on OpenFisca that allows lawmakers to estimate the impact of proposed tax reforms. OpenFisca uses "rules as code" to code legislation computationally and run simulations on individual-level data. LexImpact addresses the problem that lawmakers often do not know the full impacts of proposals until after voting by allowing them to simulate proposals using anonymized survey data transformed into the OpenFisca format. It works by identifying relevant survey data, transforming it into anonymized OpenFisca data, and then using OpenFisca to quickly simulate the impacts of parametric tax reforms before voting.

From public APIs is to contributive digital commons
One of DINSIC’s digital government strategies is to build a government-as-a-platform, that is a digital infrastructure so that administrations, businesses and citizens can work together to improve user-oriented services, public or private, and to innovate.
OpenFisca helps administrations, local governments and businesses to build better and more innovative products and services, public and private, as well as other actors of civil society, like researchers, academics, data journalists, data activists and associations, to use data to help improve citizen’s understanding of their tax-benefit systems and of socio-fiscal policy reforms’ impact.
OpenFisca (France)
OpenFisca est un logiciel open source contributif qui permet d’écrire les règles de la législation en code informatique.
Pourquoi faire ?
▸ Socle commun des règles de la législation en code informatique
▸ Qualité améliorée du service rendu aux citoyen·e·s
▸ Évaluation des politiques publiques
BetaGouv : concevoir les politiques publiques autrement
Ne vous est-il jamais arrivé d’entendre l’expression « Startup d’État » et de vous demander « mais… qu’est-une startup d’État ? Le Pass Culture, une startup de la Civic Tech, un service public numérique innovant... ? »
Et bien : « Startup d’État » est une méthode... pour concevoir les politiques publiques autrement.
BetaGouv (Sciences Po)
We are beta.gouv.fr, a network of digital public services incubators, under the patronage of France’s Prime Minister Services. Our mission is to improve public services from within. We do so by empowering civil servants to take action. We animate a growing community of people building tomorrow’s digital public services.
This work "BetaGouv (Sciences Po)" is a derivative of "Quand l’Etat s’inspire des startups pour améliorer le service public de l’intérieur" by Ishan Bhowani
OpenFisca - Rapport d'activité 2018
Nous contribuons à OpenFisca dans la conviction que la législation sociale et fiscale, ainsi que son impact dans nos
vies, est l’affaire de toutes et tous.
Notre rôle est d’aider les gouvernements et la société civile à créer de meilleurs services, à rendre plus simple la législation, et à organiser leur contribution au sein d’une même plateforme.
Nous le faisons par la mise à disposition d’outils pour représenter, comprendre, évaluer, créer et appliquer la loi, afin de permettre à tout un chacun l’accès à une vie plus digne et juste.
OpenFisca (International)
OpenFisca is a contributive open source project that allows you to write government rules as code.
Describe your tax & benefit system, provide a situation as input (i.e income), ask for a calculation as output (i.e. income tax), and get your results.
For economists
OpenFisca allows you to use survey data to simulate the impact of a reform on a given government’s budget and on a population’s standard of living.
For developers
OpenFisca allows you to easily create web applications based on your simulation results, thanks to the web API. You can build a great variety of other services by coding formulas, hosting your own instance or building your own extensions.
For public administrations
OpenFisca allows you to stop building your micro-simulation software and tax & benefit calculators on your own. Instead, contribute to OpenFisca, collaborate with other administrations and reduce the bill for the taxpayer.

- Increased transparency
- Greater convenience
- Cost reductions
- Revenue growth
- Increased confidence
In order to accomplish this, our government-as-a-platform strategy articulates around three building blocks:
- data.gouv.fr
- beta.gouv.fr
- api.gouv.fr
From “user stories” to “job stories” (with examples)
This document discusses converting from user stories to job stories when planning software features. It provides examples of how a typical user story is structured, problems with the user story approach, and how a job story alternative is structured instead. A job story focuses on the user's work context, motivation and desired outcome rather than predefined personas. The document also provides examples of how job stories were used to plan and test features for open source projects like Jekyll and Rails.
Le design de la communication dans les services publics numériques
Nous construisons des services publics numériques, c’est-à-dire des moyens d’interagir avec les administrations qui répondent aux usages et aux habitudes des citoyens en 2017.
L’Incubateur des Services Numériques s’inspire des pratiques des startups du numérique, qui ont bouleversé l’expérience des usagers avec des services de qualité, simples, basés sur le respect, sur la confiance et sur une relation étroite avec ses utilisateurs.
Notre objectif est de construire des services publics avec une expérience utilisateur égale ou comparable.
Nous donnons une importance capitale au design, car c’est grâce au design que nous transformons la vie des usagers.
Design : mettre l’expérience des usagers au coeur de la construction des services publics.
Le design redéfinit une partie de la communication publique : il transforme une information descendante en interaction, en conversation, en coopération et en collaboration avec les usagers.
Communication : outil à disposition des équipes à utiliser pour maximiser leur impact.
Le 8 mars 2017, la campagne de communication nationale mes-aides a été lancée par l’équipe de communication du ministère des solidarités et de la santé, en lien avec l’équipe mes-aides.
L’impact de la campagne a été sensible : augmentation des retours qui ont permis d’améliorer le service, tant l’équipe comme l’Incubateur ont gagné en légitimité.
Toute la communication a été faite avec les outils du ministère. Or, l’équipe mes-aides comptait déjà une infrastructure et une personne pour la gérer. Bien que l’équipe ait poussé pour être associée à la campagne, elle ne l’a pas été dès le début.
Pour la mise en place de la campagne sur les réseaux sociaux, le ministère des affaires sociales voulait mettre une cookie qui permet de collecter des données liées à la campagne. Or, ça représentait un problème de design pour l’équipe mes-aides, car ça allait contre les conditions d’utilisation du service.
Pourquoi c'est un problème de design de communication ? Parce qu’il érode la confiance des usagers. Les conditions d’utilisation sont une décision de design, et existent justement pour communiquer aux usagers que nous respectons leur vie privée. Cela fait partie de l’expérience utilisateur du service.
Ce type de problèmes pourraient être évités si les équipes avaient travaillé ensemble, dès le début, dans le design de la campagne de communication.
L’enjeu de la communication publique à l'épreuve du design revient à trouver des nouvelles façons de collaborer qui soient plus transversales, plus servicielles et au plus près des besoins des équipes, des agents, et, surtout, des citoyen·ne·s.
L’incubateur de services numériques : méthodes et apprentissages
L’Incubateur de Services Numériques existe, en tant que Mission de la DINSIC, depuis septembre 2015. Il décline par le design numérique simple et fondé sur la confiance, notre objectif commun de modernisation de l’action publique. Cela se traduit par la quête d’un premier usager satisfait plutôt que d’un consensus général ou d’une information parfaite. Cette méthode induit des changements profonds et soulève des questions tout aussi nombreuses que légitimes, qui sont au coeur de nos apprentissages.
Le lien entre concepteurs·trices, faiseurs·euses et usagers a pendant longtemps été celui de la subordination. Aujourd’hui, les usagers deviennent des faiseurs·euses et les faiseurs·euses concepteurs·trices des services numériques. Dans ce monde à l’envers, qu’en est-il de la création et de l’amélioration des services publics ? L’Incubateur de Services Numériques en profite pour mettre l’agilité au profit de la modernisation de l’action publique, et apprendre ce faisant.
Startup d’État : l’agilité au profit des citoyen·ne·s
Historique
Depuis juin 2013, l’État a pu expérimenter au sein du Secrétariat Général pour la Modernisation de l’Action Publique (SGMAP) une nouvelle manière de construire des services publics numériques, en réussissant tout d’abord la refonte de data.gouv.fr[1]. L’Incubateur de Services Numériques existe en tant que Mission de la DINSIC depuis septembre 2015.
Principe fondateur des incubateurs de services numériques
La complexité administrative s’est bâtie à la fois sur le cloisonnement des guichets et selon un principe de méfiance par défaut. Cette alternance de « vous n’êtes pas au bon guichet » et de « il me faudrait votre fiche d’impôt que l’administration possède déjà » induit beaucoup de frictions avec les usagers. La simplicité qu’exige désormais le numérique appelle de nouvelles règles du jeu.
Une conception fondée sur la simplicité et la confiance
Agir selon un principe de confiance, cela signifie pouvoir déposer une candidature à un marché public avec simplement son numéro SIRET et recueillir une déclaration sur l’honneur, plutôt qu’exiger des attestations ou une signature numérique compliquée. Cette confiance vis-à-vis des usagers induit de la simplicité.
Tourné vers les agents, ce principe de confiance accélère le décloisonnement en leur offrant les mêmes niveaux d’accès. Il devient par exemple possible d’instruire un dossier de subvention entre collectivités et préfecture, ou un dossier d’aide sociale entre Pôle Emploi, la CAF et un Conseil Départemental.
Le design numérique par la confiance, c’est aussi reconnaître la nécessité du contrôle, mais pas à n’importe quel prix : contrôle ex-post des attestations aux seuls candidats retenus, pression sociale sur la réputation, évaluation et signalement par les internautes, audit des accès par les agents publics…
En somme, nous pensons les services d’abord pour l’immense majorité bien intentionnée, et nous nous protégeons des abus par un contrôle a posteriori puissant. Fou ? Pas vraiment : c’est ainsi que sont gérés les communs collaboratifs comme Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, OpenFoodFacts…

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE Vision

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
