The coolest technology you've never seen | Mobile apps Here's one you have to see to believe. Autonomy, the largest British software company -- best known for its enterprise search and compliance technology -- has applied its intellectual horsepower in meaning-based computing to visual recognition for smartphones. Soon you'll be able to download its Aurasma iPhone/iPad app, which enables you to point your camera at static real-world objects that, once recognized, magically come to life on the smartphone screen, similar to the way pictures in the Daily Prophet newspaper animated themselves in Harry Potter. Check the video demo. According to Autonomy, the app will be able to recognize up to half a million images. The technology has its limitations. But think of the possibilities. The Aurasma app will be available for free download in the App Store next month. This story, "The coolest technology you've never seen," was originally published at InfoWorld.com.

Journalism Warning Labels & Tom Scott Contents Not Verified It seems a bit strange to me that the media carefully warn about and label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language — but there's no similar labelling system for, say, sloppy journalism and other questionable content. I figured it was time to fix that, so I made some stickers. I've been putting them on copies of the free papers that I find on the London Underground. The articles these stickers are attached to are used strictly as an illustration: I'm not passing judgment on the specific articles or journalists. Let's start with the obvious one. I'm not sure how these newspapers would fill their pages without these. Oh yeah, that's what they use. The Daily Mail's attempt to classify everything as either 'causing' and 'curing' cancer is already well documented, but there are plenty of wacky medical claims in all the newspapers. ...and we all know what happens when you do this. Is there some celebrity with a wacky religion they're really touchy about?

Internet Indian History Sourcebook Women Homosexuality: General It has proved to be extraordinarily difficult to find much information about South Asian homosexuality. Hindu Ramakrishnan: "Bisexuality: identities, behaviors, and politics" , Trikone April 1996 [At Internet Archive, from U Texas] Vatsyayana: Kama Sutra , Part 2. The Vinaya [Buddhist Monastic Precepts] WEB Shri Krishna as Kali and Lalita [At Shivashakti] Although the sexual relationships of Indian gods often follow heterosexual expectations, the individual God/dess may change form and be incarnate as another. WEB Tantrik Links [At Shivashakti] Tantricism was the "short path" to Enlightenment in Hinduism and Buddhism. Muslim 2ND Richard Burton: Terminal Essay , from his edition of the Arabian Nights . Further Resources on Indian History As in a number of other historical areas, a real problem with much of the online material on South Asian history is that it is presented with manifest nationalist (or other ideological bias). © This text is copyright.

Stedovk bitva Cílem aktualisovaného článku je přiblížit neznalým středověké válečnictví a ujasnit si některé pojmy. Zaměřím se na oblast našeho státu v období 12. - 14. století. Zažít velkou rytířskou bitvu nebylo až tak časté, jak by se mohlo zdát. Před bitvou Už před samotnou bitvou mohlo dojít k menším potyčkám ozbrojených oddílů během výpadů nebo pícování. Záloha Velitel vojska mohl také postavit zálohu. Bitva Místo bitvy i čas mohl být předem domluven. Po bitvě Pokud nezasáhla pomoc spojenců nebo nějaká další významná událost, vítězství bylo podmíněno kvalitou bojovníků, vůli po vítězství, morálkou, ale i štěstím. Vojenské výrazy Pro lepší orientaci v problematice jsem připravil slovník často používaných výrazů z oblasti středověkého válečnictví. bataille - šik, někdy překládáno i jako divize nebo sbor.

Famous KGB Spies: Where Are They Now? - By Katie Cella Ever since the 1950s, when the world got wind of the three letters that stood for the Soviet Union's intelligence agency, KGB spies -- with their (real or imagined) bug-planting lifestyles and sexy accomplices -- have provided endless material for thrilling novels, movies, and comic books. The fascination continues even now: In 2011, the U.S. television network FX announced the pilot of a new series about KGB spies living in Washington, D.C., in the 1980s. In the latest issue of Foreign Policy, retired CIA officer Milton Bearden remembers his Soviet counterpart Leonid Shebarshin, who died in an apparent suicide in March 2012. The former head of the KGB's foreign intelligence division, who served as KGB chairman for all of one day after his boss attempted a coup in 1991, remained loyal to the agency his entire life and spent his post-KGB days in Moscow. That can't be said for all KGB spies, however. CARL COURT/AFP/GettyImages AFP/AFP/Getty Images MARTIN HAYHOW/AFP/Getty Images FARJANA K.

Internet East Asian History Sourcebook There is no way of avoiding the fact that China is the central culture of Eastern Asia. Massively larger than any of her neighbors, China may have developed its cultural forms in relative isolation, but since the advent of Buddhism has both absorbed outside influences and disseminated its own culture. Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures are not comprehensible without taking into account power of Chinese culture in art, literature and religion. Chinese culture itself is highly complex, and the other East Asian cultures also reflect local circumstances and traditions. For instance the (later) Chinese ideal of a scholar-gentleman contrasts strongly with Japanese warrior ideals. See my Brooklyn College: Chinese Cultural Studies class page. This page is a subset of texts derived from the three major online Sourcebooks listed below, along with added texts and web site indicators.
