Lithuania's ICT sector is evolving, full steam ahead. An increasing number of companies have arrived in the country, drawn by its infrastructure, people, and business-friendly mindset. With some of the fastest and most affordable internet connections in Europe and a tech-savvy population ranking 16th in the world for ICT skills, Lithuania has recently attracted giants such as Google, exchange group Nasdaq, and AIG to set up shop. The country hosts 13 of the 20 largest IT companies in the Baltic States, while local estimates predict IT, laser technologies, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and materials science will account for 25 percent of the country's GDP this year, and 80 percent of the country's exports.
Lithuania's economy grew by 2.9 percent in 2014 and is expected to experience a 3.6 percent increase in 2015, consultantcy EY estimates. What's more, in January this year, Lithuania become part of the Eurozone.

L'Éducation nationale formera les futurs spécialistes dans les technologies de l'information et de la Communication. Dans le cadre de l'ICT Spring, le ministre de l'Éducation nationale, de l'enfance et de la jeunesse, Claude Meisch, a exposé les grands axes de la stratégie «Digital4education». Elle s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'initiative Digital Lëtzebuerg qui ambitionne de renforcer et de consolider la position du Grand-Duché dans le domaine des TIC.
La stratégie «Digital4education»vise à préparer les jeunes à vivre dans un environnement professionnel et privé en mutation constante. Elle amènera les élèves à développer des compétences indispensables dans l’utilisation des TIC et à promouvoir des projets pédagogiques utilisant l’école numérique. Cette stratégie digitale s’articule autour de cinq «dimensions» qui se déclinent en projets.
Dans le premier «digital citizen», l’école est censée initier les enfants à des applications clés qu’ils utiliseront dans leur vie d’adulte. Ils seront également sensibilisés aux questions de l’utilisation de leurs données personnelles sur les réseaux sociaux et de prévenir les risques. Le second nommé «digital peer» intègrera une dimension éthique et sociale. Les élèves aborderont la notion de sécurité sur Internet, le harcèlement moral sur les réseaux et une notion importante comme le droit à l’image.

Successfully hiding messages in images has already been done, but is it possible to deliver an exploit in one - and run it?
Saumil Shah, founder and CEO of Net-Square, has demonstrated at the Hack in the Box Amsterdam 2015 that it's possible, and has posited that such attacks are more than likely to crop up in the near future, as he can't be the only one who thought about this, tried it and succeeded.
He is not the first one to try and hide exploits in images. But he created Stegosploit, a technology that lets attackers deliver executable JavaScript code via images, and trigger them, too.
The technology opens the door for attacks executed as simply as pointing users to sites containing a booby-trapped image or delivering the image via email. By virtue of simply viewing the image, the exploit code is triggered and can deliver malware on the victim's computer.
"A single file can be rendered as a perfectly valid HTML file, executed as a perfectly valid Javascript file, and displayed as a perfectly valid image, all at the same time," he explains.
"Stegosploit is the result of malicious exploit code hidden within pixels of the image carrying it. The image however, is a multi format container, which also contains the code required to decode the steganographically encoded pixels to execute the exploit."
This type of attack won't show in network traffic, he pointed out, be invisible to the naked eye, and the image will "autorun" in the browser.
In order to make the attack payload look harmless and not trigger defenses, Shah split it into two: dangerous pixel data (exploit code), and a safe decoder.

WHAT Are THE Skills Needed From Students In The Future!? OR, WHAT Are THE Jobs Look Like In The Future!? That are actually questions which I get asked very often from people and where I could ask ONLY the first one! WHAT Are THE Skills Needed From Students In The Future!?

Um die Schüler auf die Arbeitsplätze von morgen optimal vorzubereiten, muss die Schule sich der modernen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien bedienen. Am Mittwoch stellte Bildungsminister Claude Meisch die Strategie "Digital (4) Education" vor, mit der die Schüler von heute, deren Lebenswirklichkeit bereits in weiten Teilen eine digitale ist, auf morgen vorbereitet werden sollen.

Coaching is a difference-maker in education. Think of the mindset evident in high-performing athletic teams, chess teams, even actors and other entertainers. Content providers are valuable, but that is not what makes learning organizations distinct, especially not those that seek to reach and provide a high-quality education to a full spectrum of learners. . The same thing is true as we continue to implement things like competency-based education models. Many celebrate the way CBE can reduce the cost of college degrees, increasing access and opportunity, and addressing critical workforce needs. However, if cost reduction happens at the expense of great coaching and mentoring, I am concerned that we will make little progress in the democratization of education. . The “haves and have nots” of education depend largely upon the prerequisite skills needed to take advantage of newer and emerging learning environments ranging from CBE to MOOCs, self-directed learning to self-organized learning environments....

Comment pallier le manque de talents ICT au Grand-Duché ? Actuellement, près de 60% des employeurs déclarent avoir des difficultés à trouver des spécialistes TIC. Leurs croissances sont ainsi fortement impactées. Et les choses ne vont pas aller en s’améliorant. Dans une étude, la Commission européenne estime qu’en 2020, ce sont 900 000 postes qui ne trouveront pas preneur en Europe ! MorpheusCup, Digital Employers Guide,… de nouvelles solutions arrivent très bientôt au Grand-Duché.
Un guide dans les mains de vos futurs employés Suite à cet événement unique au Luxembourg, les organisateurs publieront le « Digital Employers Guide », envoyé à plus de 1 200 universités et grandes écoles aux 4 coins de l’Europe. Outre la qualité de vie au Luxembourg qui sera vantée dans ce guide de 60 pages, les entreprises ont la possibilité de promouvoir leurs activités et ainsi d’attirer les futurs talents. Ce sont 450 000 étudiants qui seront directement touchés par ce guide, tiré à 50 000 exemplaires ! Réservez vos emplacements dès-à-présent. A l’ère digitale, un site européen sera également lancé d’ici quelques semaines : www.digitalcareers.lu. Cette véritable CVthèque européenne permet aux employeurs, à l’image du guide, d’y décrire leurs activités, attentes et besoins en termes de candidats, mais permet surtout à ces derniers d’y déposer leur CV. Leur but ? Séduire les employeurs répertoriés, qui peuvent ainsi directement entrer en contact avec leurs potentiels futurs salariés. En parallèle, vous y retrouverez également vidéos et interviews de DRH locaux et européens, et bien sûr, offres de stage et d’emploi.

Spend more time teaching learning skills. Klemm recommends memory tricks like mnemonic devices, and visualizing ideas as complex images, to help students expand their working memory. “If they knew these things, they wouldn’t have to work so hard and school might even become fun,” Klemm said. “Once students start reflecting and become more self-aware, they have the opportunity to become better students.”
“Working memory gets overloaded,” Kleem said. “Most people can only hold four independent ideas in working memory.” But if images are used to represent a constellation of ideas, people can remember much more. Words are hard to remember, but images stick with people. “It’s like a zip file,” Klemm said. “This is a way to get your working memory to carry more.”
