Dosa | life of jamdani. One day, the Mughal emperor Auwrangzeb was astonished to see his eldest and favorite daughter, Princess Zeb-Un-Nissa, strolling naked in the garden. Outraged by her immodesty, the emperor demanded to know why she was walking outside without clothes. The princess calmly replied that she was wearing her “jamas”. In fact, she claimed she was wearing seven garments sewn from a jamdani so transparent and fine that to her father’s eyes they seemed invisible.

This 17th century story is one of the earliest known references to jamdani, a fine, hand woven figured muslin produced in Bengal. Thicker cotton threads are laid into the weft to produce the illusion of a suspended pattern on the surface of an almost transparent fabric. Production of jamdani reached a pinnacle during the latter period of the Mughal empire. Making jamdani is very labor intensive requiring specialization that is divided amongst workers by religion, village and, especially, gender.

What's Next for Content Marketing: No Content | Spencer Critchley. Content marketing is all the rage right now, and for good reason. In a digital world, people's attention is divided among a nearly infinite range of media choices. That means it's harder and harder to push a message at them, the way you used to with traditional advertising and PR. So instead, you pull, by creating compelling content that attracts customers to you -- content marketing. Hence the explosion of publishing activity by businesses, non-profits and other organizations, through email, social media, blogs, image sharing, games and more.

According to a recent report by the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs: There's just one problem: it isn't going to work much longer. In logic and economics, there's a principle known as the fallacy of composition. Put another way, an advantage is no longer an advantage when it's available to everyone. For example, if I have a good stock tip, I might be able to profit in the market. Then things gets worse. Call it No-Content Marketing. Rameet Chawla - Inspirational Fashion Blog. Rameet doesn’t have a beard because he is a Sikh, the religion practiced by his family. He grew a beard because he couldn’t be with the girl he was in love with, and he thought that the hair on his face would ensure his abstinence from other women while holding out for “the one.”

These two cameras go head to head in a number of ways – feature set, price point, and more. If you’re upgrading or even just making the leap into the DSLR world, both of these cameras offer a compelling argument. Let’s take a deeper look to see which one is right for you… Sensor: Like the D3100 that came before it, Nikon is using the 24mp sensor, which surprisingly (or not for Nikon) has decent high ISO noise performance.

Unsurprisingly, Canon has stuck with an 18mp sensor that dates back to the 7D in 2009, but is updated for Hybrid AF performance. Video: Canon has caught up with Nikon in that it now offers continuous autofocus during video, something extremely rare in DSLRs but commonplace in compacts and even mirrorless cameras. LCD: Again, both offer a tilt and swivel screen, and Canon boasts slightly higher resolution at 1,040,000 pixels.

Imagine providing essential information to your customers, in the exact time and place they need it — and delivering that information right in front of their eyes, where they can’t miss it.

That’s the vision of marketing on Google Glass. Marketers must think differently about Glass than they do about their Web or smartphone applications. And they should start thinking now about Glass, even though the device likely won’t be shipping to consumers before 2014. Glass Will Be the Next iPhone — But Today It’s A Newton Google Glass is a “when,” not “if,” product. The prototype version of Glass that’s currently available to developers, known as the Glass Explorer edition, shows enough promise that we at Forrester Research think it’s just a matter of time until it takes off.

Jehan Tremback, designer At a hackathon last week, I helped with the design of a Google Glass app.

The device doesn’t really “augment reality” in the way some people might imagine. The hardware experience is basically like having a wristwatch sized screen mounted a foot away from your face, with a touchpad taped to the side of your head. Of course, Glass packages this in a much nicer way. You put the device on, and tap the touchpad to wake it. The screen lights up with the time, and there is a microphone with the words “ok glass”. At this point, if you say “ok glass”, you land on a menu with a few different options. Cards can’t hold much more than a short sentence’s worth of information, or a few simple infographics. The experience we designed The user starts by navigating to the MedRef card in their timeline. Upon tapping the card, the device takes a photo and sends it to the server. If the photo does not match, the user is presented a “Try again” card and a “New patient” card. G FOUNDRY » Changing the Way You Look at the World.

CX Day. Techie | A Destination for Disruptive Technology and Emerging Trends. How mobile is changing the world in 2013 and beyond | Techie. We asked industry leaders, movers and shakers, and founders of some of the most innovative mobile companies the question: “How is mobile technology changing the world?” The answers tell a story of innovation, disruption, and a whole new business model that unchains consumers and businesspeople alike from not just the desktop, but from the office entirely. Here are their answers. Ajay Kapur, CEO Moovweb “We are living in a post-PC age. “Research also shows that customers will abandon a mobile experience if the site or app is hard to use, so retailers need to focus on delivering amazing experiences to stay competitive.

John Edgar is an internationally renowned wedding and portrait photographer who travels the globe documenting moments and creating art of his discerning clients. He is based out of the beautiful city of Toronto, Canada. I’ve been take pictures for over 10 years, and worked as a full time photographer for 6 of those.

I don’t feel that any topic has been more discussed than Nikon vs. Canon. In fact, the number one question I always get as a photographer is just that. Until last weekend, Canon was the only system I have ever shot. I started with a Canon 300D post college, picked up a 30D shortly after, and the day the 5D came out, I had one. I’ve been a prime shooter since day one, originally with the plastic fantastic (50mm 1.8), upgrading from the 1.8 to the 1.4, and more recently the 1.2.

After much conversation at the Mystic 6 convention I came to the conclusion that I should at minimum play around with a Nikon setup to see what I think.

Eiti Kimura says: Each one of us has the preference for colours, movies, cars and etc, for cameras is not different. In my case, some time before (last year) I used a Canon 450D of a friend in a birthday party, that was a brand new experience for me and I decided to pick one of canon cameras, one of them that I consider to get was the Canon T2i, a very nice camera. Then I started to study the camera and its features, great I'm almost decided to buy it, I went to a shopping mall to test and take the t2 in my very own hands, very nice, great! :) But, beside the T2i I saw a sort of nikon cameras, hum... then I decide do see some kind of nikon stuff and give a try to a Nikon D90. I know that T2i and D90 are different categories of cameras, but after use a Nikon system could not think about canon stuff anymore.

That was my love story with Nikon SLR cameras. Cheers, 33 months ago (permalink) Sante D'Orazio. Sante D'Orazio is an American photographer.
