A few months ago, I began rereading Roland Barthes. Probably the greatest French critic of the last century, Barthes is associated, in the heads of most under-graduates and dilettantes, with two things. The first is semiotics, or the study of signs; at the end of his life, he even held the impressive-sounding Chair in Literary Semiology (a title of his own choosing, apparently) at the Collège de France. The second is his essay, “The Death of the Author”, in which he described the author’s passing, adding, provocatively, “The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the author.”

GIF (pronounced /dʒɪf/) is the abbreviation of Graphics Interchange Format. It was originally developed in 1987, by Steve Wilhite of CompuServe (an online service that was pretty successful in the early nineties).
Animated GIFs are multiple static images combined into a single file. They are displayed in order set by the creator (who is creating the file) with different frame rates to create short low-file-size animations. GIFs, by default, end on the last frame, but are now more commonly seen as a loop.

India, contrary to popular belief, does not live in villages. It does not live in its small towns either, notwithstanding the rosy outlook of an expanding middle India that market researchers gush over. It lives in its big cities and has no intention of moving anywhere smaller, thank you.

Talent, many regret, is restricted to the big metros. Efforts to draw what can be described as trophy professionals into smaller regions are not always successful, mainly because the big metros offer opportunities that few cities, let alone small towns, can provide.

Most people associate Photoshop with people who are professional or just plain nerdy. But everybody would agree on one thing. Photoshop has made a great impact on the graphic design industry. And when it comes to photo manipulation software; Photoshop is the gold standard. So much so that the term "photoshop" became a verb.

Photoshop is expensive and hard to use, but it defined image manipulation anyway.
-Quote from a Verge article

Most people avoid Photoshop because of the steep learning curve. But once you get familiar with the UI and its functionality, you'll want to learn more about it. And you won't believe how easy it is to create a GIF in Photoshop. In this tutorial, I'll be explaining how you can create a GIF using both photo and video as a source.

You think you have a serviceable résumé. Maybe you have worked with a professional résumé writer, or at least have had someone read it over and give you feedback. But you still haven't gotten a new job. Should you start a website, solely for job hunting, that features your résumé?
Maybe - or maybe not. If you are currently employed, be very wary about setting up a website that announces you are job hunting.

If you look at stone age, you'll find that in hunting-and-gathering groups, nobody can own more than they can carry. So, there is no way to accumulate wealth. If you want meat, then you'll have to cooperate in the hunt. These were societies where nobody could control anybody else, and so they had to make their decisions democratically. They were small societies: rarely more than 50 adults. On the rare occasions when they had to make a major decision, they would actually sit around and debate it until they reached a consensus. Direct democracy, if you like.

The "leader" is an expression that has fallen into disrepute. And so has some of the other jargon that accompanies a leader. One of the biggest casualties of the financial crisis is probably the human resources (HR) department. Even its practitioners seem to have lost faith.

According to Brad Karsh, "Most students have no idea why a recruiter asks a particular question. They tend to think it's a competition to outwit the interviewer."
The reality is that employers have neither the time nor inclination to play games, especially when hiring. Your interviewer is not trying to outguess you - he's trying to assess your answers to six key questions.

English is peppered with words of alien origin. But, in common speech, unlike dictionaries, in modern times it has taken strangely few, except, of course, from India. Food has brought in many words for dishes with no English equivalent. Sushi, a Japanese rice-and-fish ball, is one; so too shashlik, an ex-Turkish, then Russian word for a kind of kebab (which itself came from Persian). But the big source has been the explosive spread of Indian restaurants in many parts of the world.

Adobe Creative Educator is a program for educators in every subject area and grade level. In this community program you will receive curated professional development materials, information about virtual and in-person events, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded educators from around the world. To recognize your professional development, you’ll earn badges for completing each level of the Adobe Creative Educator program.

The objective behind this program is to empower educators so that they should be able to:
○ Identify and explain the benefits of involving students in creative projects.
