Creation of a website

This week, I had the surprise to discover that I had a lesson about how to create a website.

I thing this is a very good thing to put this lesson in our university cursus, because today, Internet is compulsory if you want to promote yourself.

With this lesson, I changed my opinion about the conception of a website. I thought that it was very difficult, reserved to experimented IT specialists, and finally I was wrong, and I saw that I am capable to create a website.

Furthermore, this is a skill that I can use today and in the future, to realise a website for my micro-project, or for other projects in my professional life.



 

 



Electronic Dance Music and Festivals

Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and festivals are an other passion for me.

I love listening to EDM music, sharing new tracks with my friends, amusing me to play tracks during parties and trying to create tracks with my computer.
For three years, I go to Electrobeach Music Festival, the biggest french electronic music festival. One hundred and fifty thousand people are present on three days period. It is like a pilgrimage every year for me because the best international DJs are present (Hardwell, Armin Van Buuren, Alesso, Steve Angello, Axwell & Ingrosso, Tiësto, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and more ...), this is a beautiful show with fireworks, fire, great quality of song, and because we are all united by one thing : the passion of electronic dance music.



Festivals of EDM are higher places where Electronic Dance Music fans around the world are gathered. By dancing, wearing colourful clothes, having fun, singing, living in the moment, EDM fans express their freedom and love.
With my experience, I can say that there is no violence (apart from some idiots who are quickly sacked), and the atmosphere is extraordinary : you make beautiful meets, you speak, you laugh, you drink, you have party, you dance with people that you didn't know. All this is built on EDM passion.




For the next years, my dream is to go to one of two festivals who are the supreme EDM festivals by their number of festival-goers, and by the environment (number of stages, quality of the show, line-up...)

 

 

 

This one is Tomorrowland, in Belgium, who plays with the enchantment, a magical world that you can see with the decoration of the stage.

 

And the other is the Ultra Music Festival, in United States, where the mainstage is built between the Miami's buildings.

Voluntary disconnection

For our mobile app micro-project, Jose, Yoan, Sylvain and me must understand the voluntary disconnection phenomenon.

After a great craze for information and communication technologies, the magic is falling. Today, people try to get some space and this is the Silicon Valley engineers who was tge first to do it. For ten years, they created the "off-liners" movement who advocate the partial and temporary digital diet. 
With the smartphone and touchpad generalization, connexion became permanent. The emergence to the users of a feeling of loss of control in their time management and their activities who, by reaction, lead them to make some digital breaks, was noticed.

Devotic, a french study, shows that lack of time, emergency mode, dispersal and intrusion of the professional in the private make that business executives never take down technologies they must stay tuned of the compagny, or to win time, or to don't miss opportunities.
The study also shows that, even at the end of the earth, the practical logic (to find his way, to assure his security) and the pressure exercised by close friends (obligation to stay in touch, to give news) prevent this cut so hoped. 

After all, if all the surveys show that french demonstrate more and more the desire to be disconnected, total disconnexions (several days) are rare. The forms of disconnexion are short-lived and partials. For exemple, you put your phone in silent mode, you leave your computer to the office, you take a coffe without your phone, you don't watch your emails for a week-end...

My sport, my passion : Judo

I want to start this article with an introduction of the judo history and understand how judo born.

Judo is a martial art that was born in Japan, and it is now know around the world as an Olympic sport. Judo was established in 1882 by combining jujitsu, a form of wrestling, with mental discipline. From the twelfth to the nineteenth century, Japan was ruled by the samurai, a class of professional soldiers. This provided fertile ground for various martial arts to develop. In addition to fighting with swords and bows and arrows, the samurai developed jujitsu to fight enemies at close quarters on the battlefield. Several different styles of jujitsu evolved, and hand-to-hand combat spread as an important form of military training.
Jujitsu fell into decline, but the enthusiasm of one young man rescued it from extinction. That man was Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo as we know it today. In May 1882, when he was just 21 years old, he took the best things about each jujitsu style and created a single new school. This was the birth of modern judo. 
Kano went to Europe in 1889 to introduce judo outside of Japan. A famous episode occurred abroad a ship during his voyage. When a foreigner made fun of Kano, he threw the man down but put his hand under the man's head to prevent him from getting hurt. This illustrated how judo combined practical fighting techniques with throughtfulness for one's enemy. Kano always maintained a global point of view, serving as a member of the International Olympic Committee, and worked tirelessly to spread judo around the world.
Kano's dream came true at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, where men's judo was recognized as an Olympic event. Medals were awarded to competitors in various weight divisions, and Japanese competitors swept the gold in all except the open division, where a non-Japanese champion was crowned. This was a sign that judo had already taken root in countries outside Japan. Judo is particularly popular in Europe. In fact, many more people in France practice judo than in Japan.

I started judo when I was 6, so I practice this sport since fifteen years, and I never stopped. My parents and me chose this sport because it would allow me to unwind. But finally, it have done much more than that. This sport helped me to my education. It convey a moral code with values that I possess now : politeness, courage, sincerity, honor, modesty, respect, self-control, and friendship.

After some regional and national competitions, today, I am black belt since 2011, and pratice judo at Vic-le-Comte to have fun and to see my best friends who practice judo too. When I don't pratice, I participate in the regional and national refereeing.
Now, I want to particpate in the life of my club, bring my experiences, my ideas, and this is why I became a member of the Board of the club.

And you, what sport do you do ? What is your commitment in it ? What does it give back to you ? 

The first day of #wolweek

For this first day of #wolweek, I want to talk about my micro-project, the conception of pedestrian hikes by arousing the fiction.

With three guys (Yoan, Sylvain and Jose), our job will consists to create the tender spécifications of a mobile app, and deliver it to our partner for this project, the Combrailles tourist office. In this mobile app, our aim will be to plot the itineraries linked with patrimony and cultural assets of the territory.
We want to plot the hikes by arousing the imagination, the fiction. The objective is to discover, through local people, various significant, extraordinary, mythical stories in relation to the territory and his patrimony.
The main targeted clientele of this mobile app are families and couples. The global targets are french and foreigners tourists, and the local population.

This project aims to develop the Combrailles : to improve the image of this territory, to increase visitation at Combrailles, to increase the economic benefits for the providers, and to identify Combrailles like countryside activities destination.

I would like to finish this article, on this National Day of Mourning, with a thought of Paris attacks.

My introduction

Hi everyone !

Today, I post a little video who introduce myself.

                                       Link :  https://youtu.be/ZSkQFN4hzMk

In this video, I speak about me, my studies, my professional objectives and my hobbies.

My micro-project

We are in first year of sports management Master degree, and in this context, we have to create a micro-project. 
With three classmates (Yoan, Sylvain and Jose), we will create an hybrid organization between association and company to help a territory like municipalities, association of municipalities or tourist offices.
Our goal is to conceive pedestrian and mountain bike hikes, by arousing the fiction, the imagination with staged routes. The objective is to affect tourist and local families because they want to go hiking but they think it's boring (at least kids and teenagers).
From a territory point of view, this project is an opportunity to improve their image and create an economic and sustainable development.
In this context, our first "customer" or we might say partner is the Combrailles tourist office that contacted us to work on the requirements of a mobile app that will gather patrimony and hiking paths. Our aim will be to plot the itineraries linked with patrimony and cultural assets of the territory.
