What A Thug's Life Looked Like In 19th Century India : Code Switch hide captionA photograph of a group of elderly men sitting on a mat, taken in Peshawar, now in Pakistan, circa 1865. Two of the men are looking at each other with contempt, suggesting that they may actually be enemies who have been persuaded to be photographed together as examples of native "thugs." Getty Images A photograph of a group of elderly men sitting on a mat, taken in Peshawar, now in Pakistan, circa 1865. During a 1906 meeting of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Sir William Turner submitted part three of his research "Contributions to the Craniology of the People of the Empire of India." Meet the original thugs. The word "thug" traces its roots to the Hindi and Urdu word thag, which means thief or swindler, and which itself is derived from the Sanskrit verb sthagati (to conceal). The skulls examined by Turner in the craniology study once belonged to members of what was called the "Thuggee Cult." "The system is destroyed, never again to be associated into a great corporate body.

Business Events Finder Forms of Indian Paintings Indian paintings reflect opulent culture and heritage of the country. Ideas and expressions of artists are articulated through paintings. India is a geographically and culturally diverse country.

Each form of Indian paintings differs not only in terms of material used, and style but also the mode of expression.

Kids must code on iPads An important 21st Century skill This post is about a topic and app close to my heart. Computer programming is the engine of modern life and dream maker for tens of thousands. More and more countries are introducing the subject as compulsory schooling at surprisingly young ages. The UK is introducing a national school programme in september this year whilst also funding yearofcode.org to increase momentum. What learning to code offers young people. Even I was surprised at how much my students have enjoyed their first experience of coding this year. Accessible to anyone Coding is problem solving and like any puzzle, it seems to immediately engage kids as long as the puzzle pieces are easy to play with and move around. Quick & keen My colleague and I had written a typical coding introduction for our 12 & 13 year olds using Hopscotch but very quickly realised that the app negated traditional approaches as it was so intuitive. “Let’s make Flappy Birds!” Personalised learning What’s coming next?
DIY 360 Degree SODAR Device First off, why did we decide to call this thing SODAR? SOnic Detection and Ranging, or SODAR, is a lot like SONAR and RADAR. However, we don't feel comfortable calling it SONAR because we have no desire to use it for navigation and we aren't under water. Also, it's definitely not RADAR as we are using ultrasonic pulses, not radio waves to find objects. With the technicalities out of the way, here are the project's objectives: 1) To create a freely rotatable SODAR system that can continuously detect objects 2) To create a UI that displays objects similarly to radar 3) To make it as portable as possible To accomplish objective #1, we need a way to prevent wires from tangling while the motor spins. While it seems to go against objective #3, we decided to go with the rotating electrical connection idea. Future Work Suggestion: Use wireless transceivers so the project can be placed in one area and send data to the laptop in another area. Collaborator:
The Ultimate Cheat Sheet For Reinventing Yourself Editor’s note: James Altucher is an investor, programmer, author, and several-times entrepreneur. His latest book, is “Choose Yourself!” (foreword by Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter) . Follow him on Twitter @jaltucher. Here are the rules: I’ve been at zero a few times, come back a few times, and done it over and over. I’ve started entire new careers. I’ve had to change careers several times. There are other ways to reinvent yourself, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I’ve seen it work for maybe a few hundred other people. A) Reinvention never stops. Every day you reinvent yourself. B) You start from scratch. Every label you claim you have from before is just vanity. C) You need a mentor. Else, you’ll sink to the bottom. D) Three types of mentors Direct. E) Don’t worry if you don’t have passion for anything. You have passion for your health. F) Time it takes to reinvent yourself: five years. Here’s a description of the five years: Sometimes I get frustrated in years 1-4. Today. Today.
Des nus de Velásquez, Matisse, Duchamp etc. recréés par des étudiants en art ART - Personne ne s'est dévoué pour "jouer" L'Origine du monde de Gustave Courbet mais les étudiants de l'école des arts visuels de New York ont rejoué des nus célèbres dans une série de photographies baptisées Artsy Nudes et visibles ci-dessous, prises par Matthew Leifheit. Les œuvres sont exposées temporairement dans une galerie de la Grosse Pomme. Interrogé par le HuffPost américain, Leifheit, qui a collaboré pour les magazine Vice et MATTE, rappelle dans un email que "les nus sont à la mode aujourd'hui". La consigne de ce projet était simple: choisir un nu dans l'Histoire de l'art et le recréer. La Danse de Matisse AFTER HENRI MATISSE. Certaines imitations paraissent proches de leur modèle, d'autres s'en écartent. AFTER MARCEL DUCHAMP. Ce n'est pas la première fois que Leifheit s'amuse à jouer avec de célèbres icônes. AFTER DIEGO VELÁZQUEZ. Sur les liens avec l'industrie pornographique, le photographe reste élusif. Découvrez quelques reconstitutions ci-dessous: AFTER RYAN MCGINLEY.
