Q: How to make an Ajax Call Using Javascript What i need:

*

*i  need to send ajax call using javascript.

*i have used jquery for ajax call.

Jquery code:
var mobile = $("#mobiledropdown".attr("value");
url = window.location.href.indexOf("?") > -1 ? document.URL + "&asyn=1" : document.URL + "?asyn=1", jQuery.support.cors = !0, $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: mobile,
cache: !1,
dataType: "json",
crossDomain: !0,
success: function(t) {
    if (t.industry.length > 0) {
        industry = "{{ page_param.page.industry_url }}";

        for (var e = 0; e < t.industry.length; e++)

        $("#industry").append("" != industry && t.industry[e].industry_url == industry ? "<option value=" + t.industry[e].industry_url + " selected >" + t.industry[e].name + " </option>" : "<option value=" + t.industry[e].industry_url + ">" + t.industry[e].name + " </option>")

    }

    else $("#industry").addClass("off").css({

Problem

*

*xhr request is not working.

*im new in ajax using javascript.

*jquery ajax call is working fine but ajax using javascript is not working.

*i want javascript how could send json in datatype , cross domain in javascript.

*any suggestion are most welcome.

A: Syntax:
jQuery.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    async: false, // In your code you're waiting the req. I dont know why.
    url: "http://someUrl", // Remote URL at which you sending the request
    success: function(response) {
        // Here you can handle the response from the server.
    },
    error: function(error) {
        // Here you handle if the HTTP request fails (if status is > 299)
    }
})

If you just miss to set async the default value is true, so it will send the request, and your code will continue executing. After the response is available, the success function will be called. I recommend to use async: true or just don't define it in the options. In case you don't try to access the response data outside of success function, you do not need it.
You can use $ instead of jQuery in case this varable is not overridden by other library or other code.
Inside the jQuery object you can put many other options for caching, request, Documentation
You can replace all base javascript's XMLHttpRequest functionality with $.ajax({})
You can use shorthand method $.get()
In your case:
$.get('mobile', function(response) {
    // Here you can handle the response when it come from the server.
})

Additional Productions [Audio CD] Funkstorung
The obvious comparison is with Autechre: two charismaphobic European guys who wrench tense, jittery rhythm tracks out of a small armamentarium of computers. But this is Autechre with Top 40 ambitions--or at least what passes for Top 40 ambitions in these circles. On Additional Productions Michael Fakesch (the German one) and Chris De Luca (the Italian one) peer out of their underground cellar to remix the big-league likes of Wu-Tang Clan and spar with Miami's world-champ hip-hop turntablist DJ Craze. The result isn't club music, but it is club-to-the-head music. Björk is something of an expert at ferreting out producers who can match her parched soprano with equally arid timbres, and Funkstorung's stop-start setting of "All Is Full of Love" is no exception: it is a track as severe as the tundra of her native Iceland. Likewise, the duo's revision of Wu-Tang's "Reunited" turns the original's mid-tempo MC showcase into something as jumpy and paranoid as RZA's most claustrophobic productions. Call it "skip-hop." --Jeff Salamon

City Council candidate Richard Bonner, three votes short of making it into the June runoff election, has asked for a recount of votes cast in last week's municipal elections.
Bonner was one of four candidates in Council District 4 trying to oust incumbent City Councilwoman Jane D. Robbins. She received 38.1% of the vote, but needed more than 50% to avoid the June 4 runoff.
On Tuesday night, after the votes had been counted, Bonner was in third place behind Jean Sanders, wife of city Treasurer Wesley Sanders Jr. Bonner and Sanders were separated by 11 votes, but more than 30 ballots were provisional--meaning that the city clerk had questions about them that had to be settled by the Los Angeles County registrar of voters.
On Thursday, the registrar determined which of the ballots were valid and the vote totals were subsequently changed. Bonner ended up with 1,249 votes and Sanders received 1,252.
Bonner, a beauty salon owner making his fifth try for a council seat, barely missed being elected in 1987. That year, he fell 34 votes short.
The recount is expected to be held Monday in the City Council chambers.


Architectural Concrete - Bon Pastor - L9 Station | Escofet 1886 S.A.
The cladding proposal for the Bon Pastor station on Barcelona´s Metro Line 9 involves the use of a single material as its conceptual language: cast stone panels with different densities, curves and perforations.
The production of the six types of panels was designed by architects Arderiu & Morató. The process combines white pre-cast stone with a gentle acid-etched finish and encrusted glass beads that let light filter through to colour the station with a dream-like blue tone. Permanent waterproofing ensures minimum maintenance under the envisaged heavy use of this station. White cast stone benches with a shiny polished finish rest on cantilevered metal brackets to camouflage the station´s air-conditioning outlets. This project was designed in 2009 by architects A&M in conjunction with Escofet.

Why is it that academicians insist on writing books in an obtuse and opaque manner? Are academics incapable of writing in a clear, straightforward manner?

Sheroes: Victoria Woodhull & Tennessee Claflin
Life: Victoria, September 23, 1838 - June 9, 1927
Tennessee, October 26, 1845 - January 18, 1923
Fame: Victoria- First woman to run for president of the United States.
Tennessee- First woman to open a Wall Street brokerage firm.
Victoria (Claflin) Woodhull and Tennessee Claflin were two daring sisters born 100 years ahead of their time. They were journalists, women suffragists, Wall Street brokers, and spiritualists.
Born into a poor family in Homer, Ohio, their father was a con man, their mother a spiritualist. The sisters grew up working as spiritualists and magnetic healers in their family's traveling medicine show. At age 15, Victoria was married off to Canning Woodhull who turned out to be an alcoholic and womanizer. She continued to work as a clairvoyant with her sister and divorced Woodhull in 1864.
In 1868, Victoria and Tennessee moved together to New York. With money they had saved from their work as spiritualists and the backing of Cornelius Vanderbilt they made history by starting their own Wall Street brokerage firm in 1870. They were the first women ever to work on Wall Street and the sisters soon became known as the Bewitching Brokers.
They made a fortune in the New York Stock Exchange and used their earnings to start the first ever feminist newspaper, Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly, which published over the next six years. It became notorious for publishing controversial opinions on taboo topics, advocating among other things- sex education, free love, women's suffrage, short skirts, spiritualism, vegetarianism, and licensed prostitution. The paper also printed the first English version of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto on December 20, 1871.
Victoria was the first woman to ever appear before the House Judiciary Committee on January 11, 1871. She gave speech on women suffrage stating that women already had the right to vote, since the 14th and 15th amendments granted the right to all citizens. She argued that all women had to do was use their right. The simple but powerful logic of her argument impressed some committee members.
On May 10, 1872 Victoria was nominated as a candidate for the President of the United States by the newly formed Equal Rights Party at a time when women didn't even have the right to vote.
A few days before the election, both Victoria and Tennessee were arrested for publishing a newspaper article exposing the extramarital affairs of a prominent Protestant minister, Henry Ward Beecher. The scandal cost them their reputation and their fortune.
In 1877 the two sisters moved to England where they lived rich and respectable thereafter- Victoria married a millionaire banker and Tennessee became a nobleman's wife.

A history of laughter – from Cicero to The Simpsons
June 27, 2014 June 29, 2014 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
One of Enoch Powell's most famous quips was prompted by an encounter with the resident House of Commons barber: a notoriously chatty character, who enjoyed treating captive clients to his views on politics and the state of the world. When Powell went in for a trim, the barber asked the standard question: "How should I cut your hair, Sir?" "In silence," was Powell's instant riposte.
Even Powell's political enemies have usually admitted, a bit grudgingly, that this was a rather good joke. But what they haven't realised is that it has a history going back more than 2,000 years. Almost exactly the same gag features in a surviving Roman joke book: the Philogelos (or Laughter Lover), a collection of wisecracks probably compiled in the fourth or fifth century AD. As with most such collections, some of the jokes included were already decidedly old by the time they were anthologised. In fact, we can trace the "chatty barber" gag back to Archelaus, a fifth-century BC king of Macedon. The "how should I cut your hair?" question was standard even then. And Archelaus is supposed to have replied to his own garrulous barber, "In silence."
Presumably part of the fun for Powell (who was a better classicist than politician) was that he knew exactly how ancient the joke was. Whereas others admired what they believed to be his spontaneous quip, he must have been taking pleasure in the secret knowledge that he was merely repeating the age-old gag of an ancient Macedonian king, and one that may already have been prompting more groans than giggles when it was featured in the Roman Philogelos.

A Visual History of Satellites: The 'extended urbanization' of space.
Right now, there about 1,100 satellites whizzing above our heads performing various functions like observation, communication, and spying. There are roughly another 2,600 doing nothing, as they died or were turned off a long time ago.
How did each of these satellites get up there? And what nations are responsible for sending up the bulk of them?
The answers come in the form of this bewitching visualization of satellite launches from 1957 – the year Russia debuted Sputnik 1 – to the present day. (The animation starts at 2:10; be sure to watch in HD.) Launch sites pop up as yellow circles as the years roll by, sending rockets, represented as individual lines, flying into space with one or more satellites aboard.

How the brain creates visions of God
For most of recorded history, human beings situated the mind — and by extension the soul — not within the brain but within the heart. When preparing mummies for the afterlife, for instance, ancient Egyptian priests removed the heart in one piece and preserved it in a ceremonial jar; in contrast, they scraped out the brain through the nostrils with iron hooks, tossed it aside for animals, and filled the empty skull with sawdust or resin. (This wasn't a snarky commentary on their politicians, either—they considered everyone's brain useless.) Most Greek thinkers also elevated the heart to the body's summa. Aristotle pointed out that the heart had thick vessels to shunt messages around, whereas the brain had wispy, effete wires. The heart furthermore sat in the body's center, appropriate for a commander, while the brain sat in exile up top. The heart developed first in embryos, and it responded in sync with our emotions, pounding faster or slower, while the brain just sort of sat there. Ergo, the heart must house our highest faculties.
Meanwhile, though, some physicians had always had a different perspective on where the mind came from. They'd simply seen too many patients get beaned in the head and lose some higher faculty to think it all a coincidence. Doctors therefore began to promote a brain-centric view of human nature. And despite some heated debates over the centuries—especially about whether the brain had specialized regions or not—by the 1600s most learned men had enthroned the mind within the brain. A few brave scientists even began to search for that anatomical El Dorado: the exact seat of the soul within the brain.

The Illustrated History of Projection Mapping
October 22, 2013 Sebastian Alvarez1 Comment
While projection mapping has recently exploded into the conciousness of artists and advertisers everywhere, the history of projection mapping dates back longer than you may imagine.
If you try Googling for "Projection Mapping" you won't find anything older than 3 years. That is because projection mapping's older, academic name is "Spatial Augmented Reality". The field is also known as "video mapping", but projection mapping seems to be winning out in the United States.
For the purposes of this history, I'm only including work that considered projection onto an arbitrarily complex surfaces. Projection onto flat and cylindrical/spherical surfaces has a much older history and goes back to the invention of cinema.

Does Europe Exist?
The Hungarian philosopher Agnes Heller, in a chapter she contributed to a book published in 1992, stated with some confidence her view that there was no such thing as European culture. There was certainly, she wrote, Italian and German music, and Florentine and Venetian painting, "but there is no European music and no European painting".
It is true that the history of art and culture was not really Heller's field, but it would seem that those who, in the same year as she wrote her essay, framed the Maastricht Treaty, signalling the transition from European Community to European Union, at least partially agreed with her. The treaty was the first time the community had taken for itself significant powers in the cultural field. European cultures (note the plural), the relevant article stated, were to be understood as requiring "respect" – by which one understands freedom from too much supranational interference ("The Community shall contribute to the flowering of the cultures of the Member States, while respecting their national and regional diversity …"). At the same time however, the Community was to be entrusted with the task of "[b]ringing the common cultural heritage to the fore".

THE FUTURE OF LIBERAL EDUCATION
June 8, 2013 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
Upon his retirement from Yale, Donald Kagan considers the future of liberal education in this farewell speech.
Donald Kagan, Sterling Professor of Classics and History at Yale University and recipient of the National Humanities Medal (2002), retired in May. In forty-four years at the University, Professor Kagan has served in such varied capacities as Dean of Yale College, Master of Timothy Dwight College, and Director of Athletics. He has been a prolific author as well as a celebrated teacher; his four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War is widely considered to be among the twentieth century's greatest works of classical scholarship. The following essay on liberal education is a revised version of the valedictory lecture he delivered on April 25 to a capacity audience in Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall, New Haven, Connecticut.
Donald Kagan: My subject is liberal education, and today more than ever the term requires definition, especially as to the questions: What is a liberal education and what it is for? From Cicero's artes liberales, to the attempts at common curricula in more recent times, to the chaotic cafeteria that passes for a curriculum in most American universities today, the concept has suffered from vagueness, confusion, and contradiction. From the beginning, the champions of a liberal education have thought of it as seeking at least four kinds of goals. One was as an end in itself, or at least as a way of achieving that contemplative life that Aristotle thought was the greatest happiness. Knowledge and the acts of acquiring and considering it were the ends of this education and good in themselves. A second was as a means of shaping the character, the style, the taste of a person—to make him good and better able to fit in well with and take his place in the society of others like him. A third was to prepare him for a useful career in the world, one appropriate to his status as a free man. For Cicero and Quintilian, this meant a career as an orator that would allow a man to protect the private interests of himself and his friends in the law courts and to advance the public interest in the assemblies, senate, and magistracies. The fourth was to contribute to the individual citizen's freedom in ancient society. Servants were ignorant and parochial, so free men must be learned and cosmopolitan; servants were ruled by others, so free men must take part in their own government; servants specialized to become competent at some specific and limited task, so free men must know something of everything and understand general principles without yielding to the narrowness of expertise. The Romans' recommended course of study was literature, history, philosophy, and rhetoric.

The History of Debt
March 8, 2013 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
Throughout its 5000 year history, debt has always involved institutions – whether Mesopotamian sacred kingship, Mosaic jubilees, Sharia or Canon Law – that place controls on debt's potentially catastrophic social consequences. It is only in the current era, writes anthropologist David Graeber, that we have begun to see the creation of the first effective planetary administrative system largely in order to protect the interests of creditors.
What follows is a fragment of a much larger project of research on debt and debt money in human history. The first and overwhelming conclusion of this project is that in studying economic history, we tend to systematically ignore the role of violence, the absolutely central role of war and slavery in creating and shaping the basic institutions of what we now call "the economy". What's more, origins matter. The violence may be invisible, but it remains inscribed in the very logic of our economic common sense, in the apparently self-evident nature of institutions that simply would never and could never exist outside of the monopoly of violence – but also, the systematic threat of violence – maintained by the contemporary state.

Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia (History and Foundations of Information Science)
November 21, 2012 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, is built by a community–a community of Wikipedians who are expected to "assume good faith" when interacting with one another. In Good Faith Collaboration, Joseph Reagle examines this unique collaborative culture.
Wikipedia, says Reagle, is not the first effort to create a freely shared, universal encyclopedia; its early twentieth-century ancestors include Paul Otlet's Universal Repository and H. G. Wells's proposal for a World Brain. Both these projects, like Wikipedia, were fuelled by new technology–which at the time included index cards and microfilm. What distinguishes Wikipedia from these and other more recent ventures is Wikipedia's good-faith collaborative culture, as seen not only in the writing and editing of articles but also in their discussion pages and edit histories. Keeping an open perspective on both knowledge claims and other contributors, Reagle argues, creates an extraordinary collaborative potential.
Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been imitated, analyzed, and satirized. Despite the social unease over its implications for individual autonomy, institutional authority, and the character (and quality) of cultural products, Wikipedia's good-faith collaborative culture has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the century-old pursuit of a universal encyclopedia.

HISTORY OF A NATURAL
September 27, 2012 September 29, 2012 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
When David Attenborough joined the BBC, 60 years ago this September, Britain had only one television channel. Cameras had to be wound up like a clock and could only film live or in 20-second bursts. There was no way to capture sound and vision at the same time, or to broadcast from anywhere but the studio. Attenborough, like most people, did not own a television set; he thinks he had seen only one programme in his life. He had applied for a job in radio, as a talks producer, and been turned down, and it was only by chance that his CV was seen by a television executive, the head of factual broadcasting, Mary Adams. She gave him a chance—but when he first went in front of the camera, she said his teeth were too big.
By 1956, Attenborough had persuaded the BBC to let him try a new way of filming—from and of the natural world. With only a cameraman and animal expert for company, he would go off for months to remote lands in search of rare beasts. In Borneo, some days' walk from civilisation, he was on the trail of orangutan when he spied a man paddling up the river, wearing only a sarong and bearing a message tucked in a cleft stick. It was from the BBC, giving instructions on how to use their new toy: colour film. What started in a makeshift fashion with "Zoo Quest" matured over the decades into "Life on Earth", "The Private Life of Plants", "Life in Cold Blood", "Frozen Planet" and many more. With Attenborough, the phenomenon of natural-history film-making was born.

The Accidental History of the @ Symbol
August 31, 2012 August 30, 2012 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
Called the "snail" by Italians and the "monkey tail" by the Dutch, @ is the sine qua non of electronic communication, thanks to e-mail addresses and Twitter handles. @ has even been inducted into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, which cited its modern use as an example of "elegance, economy, intellectual transparency, and a sense of the possible future directions that are embedded in the arts of our time."
The origin of the symbol itself, one of the most graceful characters on the keyboard, is something of a mystery. One theory is that medieval monks, looking for shortcuts while copying manuscripts, converted the Latin word for "toward"—ad—to "a" with the back part of the "d" as a tail. Or it came from the French word for "at"—à—and scribes, striving for efficiency, swept the nib of the pen around the top and side. Or the symbol evolved from an abbreviation of "each at"—the "a" being encased by an "e." The first documented use was in 1536, in a letter by Francesco Lapi, a Florentine merchant, who used @ to denote units of wine called amphorae, which were shipped in large clay jars.

The history of Barbed Wire: From Cowboy Scourge to Prized Relic of the Old West
August 27, 2012 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
Why would anyone pay $500 for a rusty piece of barbed wire? Well, if the 18-inch long specimen, or cut, is the only known example of the Thomas J. Barnes patent of 1907, some folks might pay even more than that. In fact, for collectors of barbed wire, or barbwire as it's also called, the past few years have been a veritable rust rush, as choice examples of rare wire that have been squirreled away for decades are entering the market.
This isn't the stuff you see today by the side of the road, although the design of barbed wire has not changed that much in more than 100 years. What gets barbed-wire collectors excited are scarce examples of wire manufactured from 1874 through the first decade of the 20th century, when barbed wire was a multi-million-dollar business and everyone wanted a piece of the action.
The market for wire was driven by the new demand for fencing. Railroads needed to secure their newly laid right-of-ways (the last spike was driven in the transcontinental railroad in 1869), while ranchers were compelled to keep their livestock within property lines rather than letting them graze on the open range, which was increasingly being converted to farmland.

Beyond 7 billion
An interesting series by the LA Times about population growth and its challenges. After remaining stable for most of human history, the world's population has exploded over the last two centuries. The boom is not over: The biggest generation in history is just entering its childbearing years. The coming wave will reshape the planet, and the impact will be greatest in the poorest, most unstable countries.
Is Mythology Like Facebook?
How can you tell if an ancient story is completely fictional or based on reality? One method, says a team of physicists, is to map out the social network of the characters and test whether it looks like a real social network. When they used that method for three ancient myths, they found that the characters have surprisingly realistic relationships.
Ancient stories are called myths for a reason. No one believes that Beowulf, the hero of the Anglo-Saxon epic, slew a talking monster named Grendel. Or that the Greek gods described in The Iliad actually appeared on Earth to intervene in the Trojan War. But historians and archaeologists agree that much of those ancient narratives was based on real people and events. The supernatural features of the narrative were then layered onto reality.

Post-Prozac Nation
April 23, 2012 April 23, 2012 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
Few medicines, in the history of pharmaceuticals, have been greeted with as much exultation as a green-and-white pill containing 20 milligrams of fluoxetine hydrochloride — the chemical we know as Prozac. In her 1994 book "Prozac Nation," Elizabeth Wurtzel wrote of a nearly transcendental experience on the drug. Before she began treatment with antidepressants, she was living in "a computer program of total negativity . . . an absence of affect, absence of feeling, absence of response, absence of interest." She floated from one "suicidal reverie" to the next. Yet, just a few weeks after starting Prozac, her life was transformed. "One morning I woke up and really did want to live. . . . It was as if the miasma of depression had lifted off me, in the same way that the fog in San Francisco rises as the day wears on. Was it the Prozac? No doubt."
Like Wurtzel, millions of Americans embraced antidepressants. In 1988, a year after the Food and Drug Administration approved Prozac, 2,469,000 prescriptions for it were dispensed in America. By 2002, that number had risen to 33,320,000. By 2008, antidepressants were the third-most-common prescription drug taken in America.
Fast forward to 2012 and the same antidepressants that inspired such enthusiasm have become the new villains of modern psychopharmacology — overhyped, overprescribed chemicals, symptomatic of a pill-happy culture searching for quick fixes for complex mental problems. In "The Emperor's New Drugs," the psychologist Irving Kirsch asserted that antidepressants work no better than sugar pills and that the clinical effectiveness of the drugs is, largely, a myth. If the lodestone book of the 1990s was Peter Kramer's near-ecstatic testimonial, "Listening to Prozac," then the book of the 2000s is David Healy's "Let Them Eat Prozac: The Unhealthy Relationship Between the Pharmaceutical Industry and Depression."

Reading Fanon in Palestine/Israel
The fiftieth anniversary of the death of revolutionary, writer and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was commemorated this past December. In late February, the not-so-revolutionary judge Asher Grunis was elected President of the Israeli Supreme Court.
The fanfare that accompanied Grunis' inauguration was an opportunity to extol Israeli democracy by playing out the ritualized Supreme Court induction ceremony. Yet, there was a disquieting stink about the celebration. Mum among the lot of Hatikva-singing judges was Justice Salim Jubran, the Arab. His refusal to join the chorus likely stemmed from not identifying with the lyrics, "as long as in the heart, within, a Jewish soul still yearns…" His silence, however, prompted loud condemnation from the public and Israeli Knesset members, leading some to propose legislation that would impeach Jubran and effectively bar Arabs from serving on the bench.
This article reads Fanon's death anniversary and Grunis' appointment and inauguration ceremony against one another, as an opportunity to recycle Fanon's ideas to better situate the place of Palestinians, as a colonized people, within the imagination of Israeli law today. In particular, the article traces the outlines of Fanon's historico-racial schema in Israel/Palestine, emphasizing the legal experience of Palestinians from the Beersheba region, or the Naqab.

A CULTURAL HISTORY OF PHYSICS
An excerpt from a new book by Karoly Simonyi.
by Freeman Dyson
A Cultural History of Physics is a grand monument to the life of its author. Karoly Simonyi was teacher first, scholar second, and scientist third. His book likewise has three components. First a text, describing the history of science over the last four thousand years in a rich context of philosophy, art and literature. Second, a collection of illustrations, many of them taken from Hungarian archives and museums unknown to Western readers, giving concrete reality to historical events.Third an anthology of quotations from writers in many languages, beginning with Aeschylus in "Prometheus Bound", describing how his hero brought knowledge and technical skills to mankind, and ending with Blaise Pascal in "Pensées", describing how our awareness of our bodies and minds remains an eternal mystery. Different readers will have different preferences. For me, the quotations are the most precious part of the book. Dip anywhere among these pages, and you will find a quotation that is surprising and illuminating.
I have a vivid memory of my one meeting with the author. I came with his son Charles Simonyi to visit him in his home in Budapest. He had an amazing collection of books that had survived centuries of turbulent history. Several of them had bullet holes from the various battles that were fought in the neighboring streets. Many of them were historically important relics from the early days of printing. He proudly showed me these treasures, and even more proudly showed me the German edition of A Cultural History of Physics, which he had recently translated from the Hungarian original. I had only a few minutes to explore the beauties of this work, but I recognized it at once as a unique and magnificent achievement. Now it is finally available in English, and we can enjoy it at our leisure.
Thank you, Charles, for making this happen.
KÁROLY SIMONYI was a Hungarian scholar-educator and physicist, whose lectures, and the trilogy of his great books The Foundations of Electrical Engineering, The Physics of Electronics and Electromagnetic Theory founded an international invisible college in electrical and electronic engineering.

The Art of Not Being Governed. An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia
March 27, 2012 Sebastian Alvarez1 Comment
For two thousand years the disparate groups that now reside in Zomia (a mountainous region the size of Europe that consists of portions of seven Asian countries) have fled the projects of the organized state societies that surround them—slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée labor, epidemics, and warfare. This book, essentially an "anarchist history," is the first-ever examination of the huge literature on state-making whose author evaluates why people would deliberately and reactively remain stateless. Among the strategies employed by the people of Zomia to remain stateless are physical dispersion in rugged terrain; agricultural practices that enhance mobility; pliable ethnic identities; devotion to prophetic, millenarian leaders; and maintenance of a largely oral culture that allows them to reinvent their histories and genealogies as they move between and around states.
In accessible language, James Scott, recognized worldwide as an eminent authority in Southeast Asian, peasant, and agrarian studies, tells the story of the peoples of Zomia and their unlikely odyssey in search of self-determination. He redefines our views on Asian politics, history, demographics, and even our fundamental ideas about what constitutes civilization, and challenges us with a radically different approach to history that presents events from the perspective of stateless peoples and redefines state-making as a form of "internal colonialism." This new perspective requires a radical reevaluation of the civilizational narratives of the lowland states. Scott's work on Zomia represents a new way to think of area studies that will be applicable to other runaway, fugitive, and marooned communities, be they Gypsies, Cossacks, tribes fleeing slave raiders, Marsh Arabs, or San-Bushmen.
The author of several books including Seeing Like a State, James C. Scott is Sterling Professor of Political Science, professor of anthropology, and co-director of the Agrarian Studies Program, Yale University, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Amsterdam DNA
March 6, 2012 March 6, 2012 Sebastian Alvarez1 Comment
The Amsterdam Museum has opened an entire new department: Amsterdam DNA. This exhibition will take you on a three-dimensional 45-minute journey through our capital's history. The versatile story of the city is presented in seven intriguing films, which we created. Above you can see the second film: Revolt Against King and Church.
In close cooperation with the curators, we developed seven scripts of about two minutes each, which shed light on the most important elements from more than 1000 years of Amsterdam history. Typical core values of Amsterdam were used as the theme for the films: entrepreneurship, freethinking, creativity and citizenship.
Visual material was collected based on the scripts. International collections were used in addition to the collection of the Amsterdam Museum, which has resulted in a selection of international renown. When visual material was not available or suitable, we had to develop the content ourselves.
The challenge was to bring the masterpieces to life without affecting their identity, or rather, their soul. We chose to add an extra dimension by making the images three-dimensional. Another dimension, sound, was added to make the whole even more appealing. Lifelike sounds and soundtracks that fit the spirit of the age add luster to the scenes.
Next to the seven films we also produced a trailer and a video-wall of approximately seven by three meters, in which past en present blend.

Public Uses of History: Expectations and Ambiguities by Jacques Revel
February 20, 2012 February 19, 2012 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
In 1876, the first issue of the Revue historique was published in Paris. The birth of the journal is commonly seen as a founding moment. History was now defined as a professional discipline, with explicit scientific and more precise methodological requirements, with specific and codified forms of training and a strong sense of academic community. There is nothing here that is specific to France: actually, the German model of historical erudition had inspired a number of national communities in Europe and outside Europe. On the occasion of the first issue of the new Revue, one of the directors, Gabriel Monod, a leading figure of the time, addressed future contributors. In his editorial, he recommended "avoiding contemporary controversies, addressing the subjects of their studies with the methodological rigor and absence of bias required by science, and not seeking arguments for or against any theory involved indirectly only." Monod then explained the insufficient progress of the discipline in France as resulting from "political and religious passions" which, "in the absence of scientific tradition" had not been curbed. Hence the utmost restraint was called for. A new time was open to science, method and objectivity after decades of tense, dense, and exhausting ideological conflicts on the French Revolution, the absolute monarchy and the conflicting relations between Church and State over centuries. Historians would better choose to cool their objects of study down and avoid contemporary topics. Distancing the past now was a pressing requirement.

Iron Sky: Nazis on the Moon
February 19, 2012 Sebastian AlvarezLeave a comment
"Nazis on the moon" sounds like a punchline. But it's actually the premise of the most talked-about feature at this year's Berlin International Film Festival. The plot of Finnish entry "Iron Sky" revolves around "a group of Nazis who escape to the moon at the end of World War II to plan a new assault," according to BBC News. "Added to the farce is a US President with more than a passing resemblance to former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, and a navy cruiser called the USS George W Bush."
The most expensive film in Finnish history, "Iron Sky" has, according to BBCNews, "been hailed by some members of the international press as a sign that Germans are now at peace with their Nazi past." But some Germans felt less comfortable. "Although I heard that audiences were laughing out loud, in my screening… it wasn't like that," Kerstin Sopke of the Associated Press told the BBC.
The film's director, Timo Vuorensola, doesn't see it that way either. "No, I absolutely think that's not what's it about," he told The Arty Semite in an email.
I think that Germans have as a people moved away from the times, and have learned perhaps more than any other people in the world the horrors fascism brings, and know that history needs to be respected, but that the Germans living now (other than some very special cases) are not the ones who did the horrors. So they haven't gotten 'a peace with Nazi past,' as BBC strangely words it, but they've understood that the current German youth did not do the bad things, thus making it possible to approach the subject with other emotions than the well-known 'German guilt'. It's time now to make sure it will never happen again.

On the Invention of Money – Notes on Sex, Adventure, Monomaniacal Sociopathy and the True Function of Economics
David Graeber: Let me begin by filling in some background on the current state of scholarly debate on this question, explain my own position, and show what an actual debate might have been like. First, the history:
1) Adam Smith first proposed in 'The Wealth of Nations' that as soon as a division of labor appeared in human society, some specializing in hunting, for instance, others making arrowheads, people would begin swapping goods with one another (6 arrowheads for a beaver pelt, for instance.) This habit, though, would logically lead to a problem economists have since dubbed the 'double coincidence of wants' problem—for exchange to be possible, both sides have to have something the other is willing to accept in trade. This was assumed to eventually lead to the people stockpiling items deemed likely to be generally desirable, which would thus become ever more desirable for that reason, and eventually, become money. Barter thus gave birth to money, and money, eventually, to credit.
2) 19th century economists such as Stanley Jevons and Carl Menger [1] kept the basic framework of Smith's argument, but developed hypothetical models of just how money might emerge from such a situation. All assumed that in all communities without money, economic life could only have taken the form of barter. Menger even spoke of members of such communities "taking their goods to market"—presuming marketplaces where a wide variety of products were available but they were simply swapped directly, in whatever way people felt advantageous.
3) Anthropologists gradually fanned out into the world and began directly observing how economies where money was not used (or anyway, not used for everyday transactions) actually worked. What they discovered was an at first bewildering variety of arrangements, ranging from competitive gift-giving to communal stockpiling to places where economic relations centered on neighbors trying to guess each other's dreams. What they never found was any place, anywhere, where economic relations between members of community took the form economists predicted: "I'll give you twenty chickens for that cow." Hence in the definitive anthropological work on the subject, Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey concludes, "No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing."

Famous Photographers Pose With Their Most Iconic Images by Tim Mantoani
Jeff Widener holds his photo of Tank Man in Tienanmen Square from 1989.
Steve McCurry holds his 1984 photo of a young woman from Peshawar, Pakistan. "I looked for this girl for 17 years and finally found her in 2002. Her name is Sharbat Gula."
Neil Leifer holds his photo, Ali vs. Liston, which he took on May 25, 1965 in Lewiston, Maine.
The Tank Man of Tienanmen Square. Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston in victory. The portrait of the Afghan Girl on the cover of National Geographic. Many of us can automatically recall these photos in our heads, but far fewer can name the photographers who took them. Even fewer know what those photographers look like.
Tim Mantoani hopes to change that by taking portraits of famous photographers holding their most iconic or favorite photos in his new book Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends. Mantoani has shot over 150 of these portraits in the last five years, most of which are contained in the book.
"I felt like there was kind of this void," says Mantoani. "There were all these anonymous photographers out there who have not been given enough credit."
At a time when everyone has a camera in their pocket and millions, if not billions of photos are flying around the internet each day, Mantoani wants to help people understand that iconic photos don't just happen. They are the product of people who devote their entire lives to photography. Giving these people a face, he says, helps do that.

The first sexual revolution: lust and liberty in the 18th century
January 21, 2012 Sebastian Alvarez2 Comments
We believe in sexual freedom. We take it for granted that consenting men and women have the right to do what they like with their bodies. Sex is everywhere in our culture. We love to think and talk about it; we devour news about celebrities' affairs; we produce and consume pornography on an unprecedented scale. We think it wrong that in other cultures its discussion is censured, people suffer for their sexual orientation, women are treated as second-class citizens, or adulterers are put to death.
Yet a few centuries ago, our own society was like this too. In the 1600s people were still being executed for adultery in England, Scotland and north America, and across Europe. Everywhere in the west, sex outside marriage was illegal, and the church, the state and ordinary people devoted huge efforts to hunting it down and punishing it. This was a central feature of Christian society, one that had grown steadily in importance since late antiquity. So how and when did our culture change so strikingly? Where does our current outlook come from? The answers lie in one of the great untold stories about the creation of our modern condition.
When I stumbled on the subject, more than a decade ago, I could not believe that such a huge transformation had not been properly understood. But the more I pursued it, the more amazing material I uncovered: the first sexual revolution can be traced in some of the greatest works of literature, art and philosophy ever produced – the novels of Henry Fielding and Jane Austen, the pictures of Reynolds and Hogarth, the writings of Adam Smith, David Hume and John Stuart Mill. And it was played out in the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary men and women, otherwise unnoticed by history, whose trials and punishments for illicit sex are preserved in unpublished judicial records. Most startling of all were my discoveries of private writings, such as the diary of the randy Dutch embassy clerk Lodewijk van der Saan, posted to London in the 1690s; the emotional letters sent to newspapers by countless hopeful and disappointed lovers; and the piles of manuscripts about sexual freedom composed by the great philosopher Jeremy Bentham but left unpublished, to this day, by his literary executors. Once noticed, the effects of this revolution in attitudes and behaviour can be seen everywhere when looking at the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. It was one of the key shifts from the pre-modern to the modern world.

A Philosophical Portrait: Walter Benjamin on the 120th Anniversary of his Birth
January 9, 2012 January 9, 2012 Sebastian Alvarez2 Comments
Gisèle Freund, Walter Benjamin in the Bibliothèque National, 1939
If 2012 is the year our world comes to an end, as doomsayers predict, that will provide additional employment for the angel of history, who observes the past and the wreckage of humanity as described by Walter Benjamin in his essay "On the Concept of History." But if the world and its inhabitants continue to exist, they will be able to observe, next July 15, the 120th anniversary of Benjamin's birth. His influence has only been growing in recent decades, and his writings are increasingly the inspiration for discussion and reconsideration.
The growing corpus of works about Benjamin is about to be augmented with the publication, in January, of a comprehensive study, "Walter Benjamin: A Philosophical Portrait," by Prof. Eli Friedlander (Harvard University Press ). Friedlander, head of the Philosophy Department at Tel Aviv University, discusses Benjamin's approaches to concepts such as history, mythology, language, beauty and truth. His aim is to tie together the threads of thought spun by the philosopher, who committed suicide in 1940.
"Many people," Friedlander says, "emphasize the enigmatic and enchanting aspect of Benjamin's writings. They present him, as Hannah Arendt did, as a kind of pearl fisherman retrieving precious treasures from the depths. But the amazement at that marvelous uniqueness is also a sure way to isolate him and avoid becoming seriously involved in his thought."
Friedlander's book revolves around the relationship between history and philosophy, which he elucidates through Benjamin's unfinished work "The Arcades Project." "Benjamin's thought is faithful to concrete historical content, so much so that it sometimes seems his writing lacks the recognizable form of philosophy," Friedlander observes. "Benjamin wrote philosophical history, or more accurately, wrote philosophy with historical materials whose ordering and arranging he worked on for years. The most salient expression of this commitment to concreteness is 'The Arcades Project,' which was intended to be a book consisting largely of quotations focusing on the arcades of Paris in the 19th century. After Benjamin's death, the material he had compiled remained divided into convolutes according to subjects such as 'modes of lighting,' 'iron construction' and 'the flaneur.' These are certainly not the typical subjects of philosophy."

"Walter Benjamin: A Philosophical Portrait"


WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt's visit to North Korea this week has been met with sharp criticism and low expectations, but the global Internet search giant indirectly is helping to make history by revealing one of the reclusive country's darkest secrets, say human rights activists.
Google Earth, the company's popular satellite imagery product, may be the last thing Mr Schmidt will want to showcase for his hosts, because it presents a bird's eye view of many things that secretive North Korea wants to keep hidden.
Human rights activists and bloggers have taken a Google program used mostly for recreation, education and marketing and applied it to map a vast system of dozens of prison camps that span North Korea, a country slightly smaller in area than Greece and home to 23 million people.
As many as 250,000 political prisoners and their families toil on starvation rations in the mostly remote mountain camps, according to estimates by international human rights groups.
Mr Schmidt's trip to Pyongyang with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has been criticised by the US State Department as ill-timed, coming weeks after North Korea conducted a rocket launch in violation of UN Security Council sanctions.
Rights activists are sceptical that celebrity visits to Pyongyang can produce meaningful results, but they are inclined to give Google credit for living up to its informal motto of "Don't Be Evil" when it comes to how Google Earth sheds light on North Korea.
"What Eric Schmidt does or does not do in Pyongyang will probably be forgotten in a few weeks," said Mr Joshua Stanton, a Washington lawyer who devotes his spare time to blogging and activism on North Korea human rights.
"The good that Google has done, however inadvertently, by helping people tell the truth about North Korea, will probably be reflected in the history of the country one day," he said.
Google has characterised Mr Schmidt's trip as "personal" travel, and Mr Schmidt did not respond to requests for comment before leaving for Pyongyang. The company declined to comment on the use of Google Earth in monitoring North Korea.
Mr Richardson said last week he hoped to win the release of Mr Kenneth Bae, a US tour guide detained in the North since November.
Mr Stanton's blog http: freekorea.us/ carries satellite images from Google Earth and analysis of the features of six political prisoner camps - three of which he is credited with playing a role in confirming or identifying.
The blogger identifies images of gates and guard houses, and in some cases coal mines and crude burial grounds - corroborated through the work of experts and interviews with defectors from North Korea who lived or worked in the camps.
"The largest of the camps, if you don't know what you're looking at, look like towns or villages, and I suspect they are designed that way to fit into the countryside," said Mr Stanton, whose readers trade tips on the camps and their landmarks.
Mr Stanton, who became interested in North Korea while serving in the US military in South Korea at the height of a deadly late-1990s famine in the North, built on the pioneering work of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, a US non-governmental organisation that unveiled the camps in a 2003 book, The Hidden Gulag. When a second edition of The Hidden Gulag came out last year, Google Earth received prominent acknowledgement.
"The dramatically improved, higher resolution satellite imagery now available through Google Earth allows the former prisoners to identify their former barracks and houses, their former execution grounds, and other landmarks in the camps," said the study.
Hidden Gulag also credited Mr Stanton and a second blogger, Mr Curtis Melvin, whose blog http: www.nkeconwatch.com/ has been at the forefront of using Google Earth to catalogue not only prison camps but also ordinary facilities like schools, factories and train stations.
"It opens up areas of North Korea that no foreigners are allowed to see at all," said Mr Melvin, who downloads the free program available to the general public.
Mr Melvin, an economist with an unfinished doctoral dissertation on North Korea's monetary system, verifies landmarks he finds on Google Earth by studying maps and documents and by sitting down in front of his computer in Virginia with North Koreans.
"I've also been watching North Korean television literally every day for about three years, so I have a list of thousands of names (of places) I can ask them specific questions about," he said of his interviews with defectors from North Korea.
North Korean defector Kim Sung Min, who escaped the country in 1997 by jumping off a train that was taking him to be executed, "told me the name of the train station where he jumped, and I pulled it up immediately, and we were able to trace his actual escape path out of North Korea", said Mr Melvin.
Some of Google Earth's satellite imagery comes from DigitalGlobe, a 20-year-old Colorado firm that, under its previous name, EarthWatch Incorporated, was the first outfit to get a US government licence to gather and sell satellite imagery commercially.
The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea receives imagery and analysis pro bono in a project with DigitalGlobe, which has a record of supporting humanitarian causes, said Mr Greg Scarlatoiu, executive director of the committee.
According to satellite technicians, the imagery available directly from DigitalGlobe is of finer resolution and is updated more frequently than the versions carried for free on Google Earth.
"Satellite imagery readily available through Google Earth has certainly enabled human rights experts to decisively confirm that these facilities do exist, despite the fact that the North Korean regime denies their existence," Mr Scarlatoiu said.

In April 2010, David Byrne (leader of the former cult rock-band Talking Heads) released Here Lies Love in collaboration with Fatboy Slim. A song cycle about the life of former Philippines president's wife Imelda Marcos, Here Lies Love features numerous guest singers (mostly women) singing the parts of Imelda and her entourage. Among the most renowned artists invited by Byrne we find Martha Wainwright, Florence Welsh (Florence and the Machine), Natalie Merchant, Camille, Santigold, Cindy Lauper or Sia.
Tori sings on two tracks : "You'll Be Taken Care Of" (she sings the whole song) and "Why Don't You Love Me ?" in duet with Cindy Lauper.
Despite comparisons to Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Evita, Here Lies Love is quite critical of Imelda, even though some journalists didn't seem to notice it. We see most of the story through her eyes (except a few tracks sung from another point of view and which highlight more directly the dark aspects of her personnality) but the lyrics sound more and more ironic as she appears as a self-absorbed woman, obsessively narcissist to the point of becoming megalomaniac (she thinks of herself as the Great Mother of the Philippines people while she and her husband hijack the funds of the country; she invented her own delusional cosmology from her flower paintings…).
David Byrne is sometimes sympathetic to her, mainly on the first disc of the double-album, when she slowly rises from poverty then has to deal with her patronizing husband who controls everything in her life and pays people to teach her how to walk like a 'real woman' but he doesn't close his eyes on Imelda's personal involvement in her husband's politics (she was a diplomate and minister of his government, among other things) and how she acted as a ruthless and cruel woman while, on the other hand, she was able to spend a lot of time raising funds for orphanages and hospitals. She appears, not as a mere caricatural Lady McBeth sending to death her former lover (Ninoy Aquinos, an opposant of her husband, assassinated on the orders of Imelda herself) but as a paradoxal and complex human being. She becomes more and more grotesque in the way she pictures herself and her glamourous life (which is emphasized by the very 70's-80's disco music of the record which Imelda loves) but she remains an intricate being, both fascinating and repulsive.
On his official website, David Byrne explained that he was fascinated to see how the politics of the Marcos dynasty, in which Imelda played a major role, were in part defined by the will to mend her unhappy past (she spent an awful lot of money in clothes and various expensive projects, which amounted to a 28 billion dollars loan contracted by the country for the year of 1985 only). "The story I am interested in," writes David Byrne on his website, "is about asking what drives a powerful person-what makes them tick ? How do they make and then remake themselves ? I thought to myself, wouldn't it be great if-as this piece would be principally composed of clubby dance music-one could experience it in a club setting ? Could one bring a 'story' and a kind of theatre to the disco ? Was that possible ? If so, wouldn't that be amazing !"
Tori's vocals for the two tracks she appears in were recorded at her home studio, Martian Engineering, in Cornwall. While she visited Undercover.com in November 2009 for the promotion of Midwinter Graces, she confessed she was amazed David Byrne came on a train by himself and didn't act like a rock-star at all. "I'm such a big fan and the thing is working with him was just a blast because what I love about him… Yes, he is another legend and I've worked with some amazing ones: Robert Plant, Peter Gabriel… and they're great as well. (…) And David, he seems so unaffected by the fact that he's a legend. He goes about his life, he's very funny, and if he walked in a room, he's a striking man, but he doesn't expect to be treated like a rock star. He came on a train by himself. I mean, you know, he's a really unaffected kind of, down-to-earth guy."


I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.
Here is sovereign mercy--"I will send down the showers in their season." Is it not sovereign, divine mercy? For who can say, "I will send down showers" except God? There is only one voice that can speak to the clouds and bid them send the rain. "Who sends down the rain upon the earth? Who scatters the showers upon the green herb? Do not I, the Lord?" So grace is the gift of God and is not to be created by man.
It is also needed grace. What would the ground do without showers? You may break the clods, you may sow your seeds, but what can you do without the rain? Just as absolutely needful is the divine blessing; you work in vain until God then bestows the shower and sends salvation down.
Then, it is plenteous grace. "I will send down the showers." It does not say, "I will send down drops," but "showers." So it is with grace. If God gives a blessing, He usually gives it in such a measure that there is not room enough to receive it. Plenteous grace! We need plenteous grace to keep us humble, to make us prayerful, to make us holy; plenteous grace to make us zealous, to preserve us through this life, and at last to land us in heaven. We cannot do without saturating showers of grace.
And here is a varied blessing. "I will give you showers of blessing." The word is in the plural. All kinds of blessings God will send. All God's blessings go together, like links in a golden chain. If He gives converting grace, He will also give comforting grace. He will send "showers of blessing." Look up today, O parched plant, and open your leaves and flowers for a heavenly watering.

PPF Vs Fixed Deposit: Which will win the money battle?
This is a long battle, which is still continued between these two preferred modes of saving. Investors are always confused between these two modes of savings either to invest in Public Provident Fund (PPF) or Fixed Deposit (FD) for gaining higher returns. People have different opinions about these two popular mode of savings. You should always choose the right mode of saving to gain better returns. Though, PPF and FD have their own advantages and disadvantages, but these two mode are most secured way of investing and saving the money.
Public Provident Fund is a long-term investment plan, which you continue for minimum 15 years or more. However, the Fixed Deposit term is more flexible, which varies from minimum 7 days to maximum 20 years. You can choose the term as per your convenience and financial goals. Both the investment options are quite popular among people. Here are some important points, which one should consider to compare before choosing the most suitable mode of investment.
Tax benefits for PPF and Fixed Deposit: The amount you deposit in PPF scheme is eligible for income tax deduction every year under section 80C of income tax act. At the time of withdrawal also tax payers are not liable to income tax.
But, in case of Fixed Deposit, the tax payer is only eligible for income tax deductions if he/she is opting for a 5 years or longer term fixed deposit. Withdrawal before 5 year will be liable to income tax. If you will opt for a fixed deposit of shorter duration such as one year or two years that are not eligible for tax deductions.
Periodic investment in PPF Vs one time investment in Fixed deposit: PPF is linked with periodic investments. A minimum amount of Rs. 500 is also eligible to invest in PPF per year and the maximum limit to invest in PPF in a year is 1.5 lakhs per year. Here, you can deposit money on monthly basis or make one time investment. But more than 12 transactions in a year are not allowed. Whatever amount you deposit in the PPF account should not exceed 12 transactions limit per year.
Fixed deposit is a one time investment. In Fixed deposit you can not make transactions in the same account. Here, everytime you need to invest money in fixed deposit, you are required to open a new account for a new tenure. If you have a lump sum amount and you want to invest it somewhere then going for fixed deposit option is safe and the best.
Interest rate of PPF Vs interest rate of Fixed Deposit: Interest on fixed deposit is taxable in the hand of tax payer. Bank is also liable to deduct the TDS from the interest amount. Whereas, interest on PPF account is free from any tax deductions. You are not required to pay the tax even at the time of withdrawal also. If you consider the post tax rate of interest, then in case of fixed deposit your returns are lower as compared to PPF account returns on your invested money.
Premature withdrawal in PPF Vs Fixed Deposit: In your PPF account you can withdraw the money after 5th year only, which is also limited with an upper cap of withdrawal. Whereas, in case of fixed deposit most of the banks and financial institutions allow premature withdrawal in fixed deposits by imposing penalty on the amount. Although, the penalty percentage or amount varies from bank-to-bank. But, you can get your whole money credited into your account within 24 working hours.
Loan against FD Vs PPF: PPF and Fixed deposits both provide loan facility to the customers, but in different form and on different terms. In PPF account you can borrow a loan from third year onward. In case of fixed deposit you can borrow the loan of upto 90% of the amount in the FD. The interest rate is generally 2% higher than the rate of interest offered on the FD by the bank. It offers more liquidity in the form of taking loan as compared to FD.
Investment amount FD Vs PPF: In PPF you can deposit maximum Rs. 1.5 lakhs in your account per year. But, in fixed deposit the maximum limit to deposit amount per year is much higher. You can deposit upto Rs. 1 crore in your fixed deposit account per year. So fixed deposit offers you higher limit to invest than PPF account.

collaboration making-of réalité virtuelle
Björk's VR Exhibition Explores Her Fascination with Digital Worlds
the creators project, 9 septembre 2016
Björk has been on the cutting edge for so long that it's hard to imagine the edge without Björk. Her relationship with technology, both analog and digital, is as much about curiosity as is it aesthetics. Even as far back as 1988, in the midst of her Sugarcubes days, Björk can be seen disassembling a television set to see how it operates and, as she says, puts her in "all those weird situations."
The new exhibition Björk Digital, now on at London's Somerset House, takes stock of the Björk's experiments with immersive digital technologies. Among them are Black Lake, a 10-minute immersive audiovisual installation and music video from her recent album, Vulnicura, that debuted at MoMA. Björk also conducted a press conference before the show's opening, in which, with the help of a team from Unity, she donned a motion capture suit to render herself as a real-time virtual avatar.
Equally notable in Björk Digital is Stonemilker VR, a collaboration with Los Angeles-based filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang, in which viewers are transported to an Icelandic beach for a private performance—viewable in 360 degrees—of Vulnicura's opening track. The show also features Mouth Mantra VR, in which Björk collaborated with Jesse Kanda to create an immersive experience of her mouth. And Notget VR showcases Björk as a giant virtual moth mutated by masks designed by embroidery artist James Merry. It reminds viewers that all is not completely digital in her world.
Marcos Sanchez, Head of Global Communications at Unity, tells The Creators Project that Unity was really there for technical mocap guidance, and that Björk's team did the heavy creative lifting.
"Motion capture itself isn't new, but doing it live with Björk remotely in Reykjavik and the press in London was unique," he says. "Björk was in a studio in Reykjavik and was wearing a motion capture suit from Xsens. Using special sensors, the suit is able to track the position and orientation of Björk's body as she moves."
Sanchez says that Björk's positional data was then streamed in real-time through a direct internet link to a computer, running Autodesk's MotionBuilder, based at Somerset House. This piece of software maps and scales the motion capture data to a virtual skeleton comprised up of joints and bones, which could be of varying sizes.
The position of the bones was then streamed again in real time and applied to a virtual 3D Björk avatar running in Unity. As Sanchez explains, Björk's team used Unity to display the final character, rendered live with lighting, shadows, and different camera angles.
"CG effects such as the haze applied over the wound in the character of Björk's chest and the movement of the tendrils on her arms can also be applied using Unity in real time," says Sanchez. "The motion of the character on screen at Somerset House [exactly matched] what Björk [was] doing in Reykjavik—there was no pre-recorded animation used. There was [also] a live audio and Unity feed from Somerset House to Reykjavik and so Björk could see what her character looked like on screen and was able to hear and respond to the questions in the press briefing."
James Merry, maker of the embroidered masks seen in the Notget VR experience, says that embroidery was one of the early visual references Björk had for Vulnicura. Merry says that Björk imagined "stubborn Icelandic plants, growing and stitching a wound closed."
"I got really excited by that and started making small pieces of embroidery for her as we made the first music videos," says Merry. "I think the first things I made were some stockings embroidered with Icelandic 'blóðberg' for the Black Lake video, and an embroidered latex headpiece for her birthday present. Then it just all grew from there, eventually manifesting in all the headpieces for the tour."
Merry's process, quite the opposite from the digital and virtual technologies, is classically analog. In fact, he's never even used a sewing machine in his work.
"For me, one of the appealing aspects to work in such an ancient and traditional medium is how open that makes it to quiet subversion," Merry says. "Particularly with the materials I am using—embroidering into latex with neon threads, and the juxtaposition between machine and hand on my embroidered sportswear series. Transformations and metamorphosis are recurring themes throughout my work, often exploring notions of contrast when things collide and coexist : animal versus human, urban versus rural, traditional craft versus new technologies."
All of the pieces he has made for Björk have been handmade and custom-fitted just for her. As he explains, there has been a considerable evolution in the materials and techniques he has used : "The first pieces were predominantly hand-embroidered lace and latex, quite soft and feminine," he says. "Then I began to add more beadwork and detailing in pearls. I then started using wire—in my mind, a sort of three-dimensional embroidery, bringing the threads off the face and float in mid air. And now I'm moving into translucent plastics, but still with embroidered details."
To bring Merry's embroidered masks into the Notget VR experience, directors Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, in collaboration with REWIND:VR, used Microsoft Kinect sensors, motion capture, and videogrammetry to gather point cloud data on the full details of the masks and costumes worn by Björk. The result is that Merry's physical creations become an ever-evolving swarm of virtual particles that alter Björk's giant virtual moth avatar.
So while Björk Digital maps out the Icelandic artist's forays into virtual realms, Merry's work reminds anyone interested in Björk's work that the analog is just as important. Her costumes, masks, props, and indeed her body, do not play second fiddle to VR worlds. They are all part of a cohesive whole, where multiple technologies, from fashion to digital avatars, are used to extend Björk's ever-branching imagination.
