Sundar Pichai es el nuevo CEO de Google, que ahora formará parte del conglomerado llamado Alphabet

Larry Page, que hasta ahora había sido el CEO de Google, publicaba hace unas horas una carta a los accionistas en los que anunciaba cambios importantes en la estructura del gigante de Internet. De hecho, Google será parte de un nuevo conglomerado al que han bautizado como Alphabet que estará dirigido por Page (CEO) y Sergey Brin (presidente), los co-fundadores originales del buscador de Internet.
Eso hace que el testigo de Google lo tome Sundar Pichai, que desde hace tiempo ha ido tomando más y más responsabilidad en la empresa de Mountain View. El directivo que se encargaba de la gestión de Android y Chrome OS ahora será responsable de todos los servicios de este gigante, y pocas cosas escaparán a su control: solo el departamento secreto de la compañía -Google X- y las divisiones de inversión, Google Ventures y Google Capital, saldrán de sus dominios.

De la A a la Z: los servicios, iniciativas y empresas de Alphabet

La gran reestructuración de Google os la contamos ayer, queda con una empresa madre llamada Alphabet, que será dirigida por Larry Page y Sergey Brin, el primero como CEO, el segundo como presidente. Una Google más independiente cuelga de ella, en manos de Sundar Pichai.
En todo este terremoto de movimientos, podríamos decir que Google se queda con los negocios más conocidos y activos de la compañía: búsquedas, publicidad, mapas, aplicaciones, YouTube, y por supuesto, Android.
Hay muchas iniciativas que se separan de Google para ser independientes, menos condicionantes en sus operaciones y resultados, como son Calico, Nest, Fiber, Ventures, o la incubadora de moonshots, Google X. Hay muchas ideas locas, sin gastos fijos, ni beneficios a corto plazo, que pueden no gustar tanto a inversores, así que el movimiento parece tener lógica.             

Why Nasdaq Is Betting On Bitcoin’s Blockchain

In its highest-profile application yet, Bitcoin’s public transaction record will help startups keep track of shares and shareholders.

Why It Matters

Those who use commercial database tools have to trust their valuable data to the companies that market those tools.

It’s much too early to tell whether Bitcoin is the future of money, but a recently launched Nasdaq experiment will test whether it can be the future of financial record keeping.

The stock exchange announced recently that it has begun experimenting with the blockchain—the publicly accessible and cryptographically verified record of every single Bitcoin transaction that has ever occurred. Transactions are verified and recorded in the blockchain by a network of “miners” all over the world who exchange their computing power for a chance to solve complex cryptographic puzzles and earn money—freshly minted bitcoins. Specifically, Nasdaq will take advantage of a feature in Bitcoin’s design that allows additional data to be recorded on the blockchain along with information about a Bitcoin transaction (see “Why Bitcoin Could Be Much More Than a Currency”).
Nasdaq intends to use this feature of the blockchain to streamline financial record keeping while making it cheaper and more accurate. Though the company says the blockchain initiative could ultimately be used to record trades of stocks in public firms listed on its exchange, it will begin by focusing on its relatively new private market platform, a service that connects private companies with investors. In this case, record keeping via the blockchain will complement a cloud-based data management tool that tracks who owns shares of a given company, and how much they own.
Keeping track of a company’s ownership structure can be a complicated, time-consuming, and expensive task, especially for fast-growing startups looking to attract new investors. In many cases, companies manage their own data in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel, and pay lawyers to validate the information every time the table changes.

Free response

Free response, usually referred to as essay, is a type of question used in tests in education, workplace, and government. Most free response questions ask or require the test-taker to state a belief, opinion, or write a short essay and support it with facts, examples, or other evidence. However, few tests solely rely on these types of problems, and tend to work in conjunction with other types, such as multiple choice. Free response questions generally test more than straight knowledge and ask for a "big picture" type of response (see example). Also, they usually allow the taker to choose an area in which they are familiar.
Free-response items are distinct from fixed-response items in that examiners must supply a full and independent response. There are no answer options from which to choose. Free-response items are typically discouraged from examinations because of the difficulty, bias, and time effort required in grading them. However, some general guidelines...

Landau–Zener formula

The Landau–Zener formula is an analytic solution to the equations of motion governing the transition dynamics of a 2-level quantum mechanical system, with a time-dependent Hamiltonian varying such that the energy separation of the two states is a linear function of time. The formula, giving the probability of a diabatic (not adiabatic) transition between the two energy states, was published separately by Lev Landau, Clarence Zener, Ernst Stueckelberg, and Ettore Majorana, in 1932.
If the system starts, in the infinite past, in the lower energy eigenstate, we wish to calculate the probability of finding the system in the upper energy eigenstate in the infinite future (a so-called Landau–Zener transition). For infinitely slow variation of the energy difference (that is, a Landau–Zener velocity of zero), the adiabatic theorem tells us that no such transition will take place, as the system will always be in an instantaneous eigenstate of the Hamiltonian at that moment in time...

Black-legged kittiwake

The black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) is a seabird species in the gull family Laridae.
This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema naturae in 1758 as Larus tridactylus.
In North America, this species is known as the black-legged kittiwake to differentiate it from the red-legged kittiwake, but in Europe, where it is the only member of the genus, it is often known just as kittiwake.
The adult is 37–41 cm (15–16 in) in length with a wingspan of 91–105 cm (36–41 in) and a body mass of 305–525 g (10.8–18.5 oz). It has a white head and body, grey back, grey wings tipped solid black, and have black legs and a yellow bill. Occasional individuals have pinky-grey to reddish legs, inviting confusion with red-legged kittiwake. In winter, this species acquires a dark grey smudge behind the eye and a grey hind-neck collar. The name is derived from its call, a shrill 'kittee-wa-aaake, kitte-wa-aaake'.

George Hinterhoeller

George Anton Hinterhoeller was a boat designer and builder. Hinterhoeller was born in Mondsee, Austria on March 16, 1928. He develop his trade as a master boat builder before eventually emigrating to Canada in 1952, where he was employed building powerboats at Shepherd Boats in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Hinterhoeller designed sailboats in his spare time.
In 1959, Hinterhoeller built a 22-foot plywood sloop called TEETER-TOTTER, which he hoped would "go like hell when the wind blew". It did exactly that, and there was demand from others to buy copies of the racer. He increased the design by two feet and called the new boat the Shark 24. Though the first few were plywood, an early customer insisted his be built with fiberglass and the design was changed to the cheaper material, helping to spur the growth of sailboats for "the masses".
In 1969, Hinterhoeller merged his operation with three other companies: Belleville Marine Yard, Bruckmann Manufacturing, and the...

Cascabela thevetia

Cascabela thevetia (syn: Thevetia peruviana) is a poisonous plant of central and southern Mexico and Central America. It is a relative of Nerium oleander, giving it a common name yellow oleander, and is also called lucky nut in the West Indies.
C. thevetia is an evergreen tropical shrub or small tree. Its leaves are willow-like, linear-lanceolate, and glossy green in color. They are covered in waxy coating to reduce water loss (typical of oleanders). Its stem is green turning silver/gray as it ages.
Flowers bloom from summer to fall. The long funnel-shaped sometimes-fragrant yellow (less commonly apricot, sometimes white) flowers are in few-flowered terminal clusters. Its fruit is deep red-black in color encasing a large seed that bears some resemblance to a 'Chinese lucky nut.'

Blue Collar TV

Blue Collar TV is a television program that aired on The WB with lead actors Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy. The show's humor dealt principally with contemporary American society, and especially hillbilly, redneck, and Southern stereotypes. The show was greenlighted on the heels of the success of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which the series' three lead actors toured with in the early-mid-2000s. It was created by Fax Bahr and Adam Small, in addition to J.P. Williams and Jeff Foxworthy. Blue collar is a US phrase used to describe manual laborers, as opposed to white collar for office or professional workers.

Spean Thma

Spean Thma (Khmer: ស្ពានថ្ម) in Angkor, Cambodia is known as the bridge of stone and it is located west of Ta Keo. It is one of the few Khmer Empire era bridges to have survived to the modern day.
It was built on the former path of the Siem Reap River between Angkor Thom and the Eastern Baray and it was probably rebuilt after the Khmer period (around the 15th century), as it includes many reused sandstone blocks.
The 14 narrow arches are 1.10 m wide.
Several other bridges on the same model are visible: in the Angkor site (Spean Memai) and at several locations of the former empire. On the road from Angkor to Beng Mealea, the Spean Praptos is one of the longest with 25 arches.

U wave

The U wave is a wave on an electrocardiogram that is not always seen. It is typically small, and, by definition, follows the T wave. U waves are thought to represent repolarization of the papillary muscles or Purkinje fibers.
Interpretation
Prominent U waves are most often seen in hypokalemia, but may be present in hypercalcemia, thyrotoxicosis, or exposure to digitalis, epinephrine, and Class 1A and 3 antiarrhythmics, as well as in congenital long QT syndrome, and in the setting of intracranial hemorrhage.
An inverted U wave may represent myocardial ischemia (and especially appears to have a high positive predictive accuracy for left anterior descending coronoray artery disease ) or left ventricular volume overload.
A U-wave can sometimes be seen in normal younger, athletic individuals.

Goldman's dilemma

Goldman's dilemma, or the Goldman dilemma, is a question that was posed to elite athletes by physician, osteopath and publicist Robert Goldman, asking whether they would take a drug that would guarantee them overwhelming success in sport, but cause them to die after five years. In his research, as in previous research by Mirkin, approximately half the athletes responded that they would take the drug, but modern research by James Connor and co-workers has yielded much lower numbers, with athletes having levels of acceptance of the dilemma that were similar to the general population of Australia.
History
In the 1970s, Gabe Mirkin reported that more than half of the top runners whom he polled, would accept the following proposal: "If I could give you a pill that would make you an Olympic champion and also kill you in a year, would you take it?". This surprising result prompted Bob Goldman to ask world-class athletes in combat and power...

Also known as orthodox masters, they continued the tradition of the scholar-painter, following the injunctions of the artist-critic Dong Qichang late in the Ming Dynasty.
The Six Masters included the flower painter Yun Shouping and the landscapists Wu Li and the Four Wangs: Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, Wang Yuanqi, and Wang Hui. The works of the Six Masters are generally conservative, cautious, subtle, and complex, in contrast to the vigorous and vivid painting of their “individualist” contemporaries.
One of the most famous works produced by a member of the group is the White Clouds over...

Priscilla Lawson

Priscilla Lawson (March 8, 1914 – August 27, 1958), born Priscilla Shortridge, was an American actress known for her role as Princess Aura in the original Flash Gordon serial (1936).
Lawson was a professional model by her early twenties and was named Miss Miami Beach in 1935. This gained her a contract with Universal Studios, which used her in a variety of small roles. However, in 1936 she was cast in the serial Flash Gordon as the voluptuous daughter of the villain, Ming the Merciless. Princess Aura's rivalry with Dale Arden for Flash Gordon's affection was one of the centerpieces of the serial and gained Lawson cult figure status.
Little is known of her post-Hollywood life. Lawson married Hollywood leading man Alan Curtis (1909-1953), and enlisted in the Women's Army Corps during World War II. An unverified rumor claims she lost a leg in an accident while serving in the Army. Another version is that she lost a leg in a 1937 car crash. However, her...

Nittany Furnace

Nittany Furnace, known earlier as Valentine Furnace, was a hot blast iron furnace located in Spring Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. Placed in operation in 1888 on the site of an older furnace, it was an important feature of Bellefonte economic life until it closed in 1911, no longer able to compete with more modern steel producers.
Centre Iron Company
The preliminaries to the furnace's construction began in 1885, when Valentine and Thomas, an old ironmaking firm of Bellefonte, decided to sell off its properties. These then consisted of Bellefonte Forge, on Logan Branch just south of Bellefonte, and Bellefonte Furnace, a cold blast charcoal iron furnace lying about a mile south of the town, also on Logan Branch, as well as holdings in local iron ore mines. Both plants were served by the Bellefonte, Nittany and Lemont Railroad, a subsidiary of the PRR. The ironworks and ore lands were bought...

Spline roller

The spline roller was a small hand tool used to press screen mesh into the edges of a window frame that is fluted on the inner edges.
Appearance and history
While a spline roller (also referred to as a "spline tool") is said to look like a pizza cutter (which it does), its origins are in fact from something different. Somewhere around or before 1920 a man named Julius Alexander Muhlberg who was co-owner of Winchester and Muhlberg, a New Jersey-based company. An innovator at heart, Julius had taken some other tool's handle, drilled a hole through a silver dollar, and after putting them both together with a nut and bolt, found it to be much faster to squish screening into the sides of a frame rather than the regular method of the time, nailing the screen into the frames. The original tool remained in the possession of his son, Julius Muhlberg, but unfortunately it seems to be hopelessly lost to time.

United States House of Representatives elections, 1826

Elections to the United States House of Representatives for the 20th Congress were held at various dates in each state in 1826 and 1827.
In these midterm campaigns, the aftershock of the contested 1824 presidential election remained a major issue. The former Democratic-Republican Party had split into two parties, the Jacksonians, supporting Andrew Jackson (which would later become the Democratic Party) and the Adams men or Anti-Jacksonians, supporters of President John Quincy Adams. Adams' supporters would later come to be known as the National Republican Party. The Jacksonians were able to pick up a slim majority in the House by painting an image of the Adams Men as elitist and of the Jacksonians as the party of the common farmer or artisan. This tactic helped them pick up a number of rural seats.

Clefs of Lavender Hill

The Clefs of Lavender Hill were a folk rock band from Miami, Florida.
The group formed in 1966 around the nucleus of brother and sister Travis and Coventry Fairchild, the chosen stage names of Joseph and Loraine Ximenes. Adding Fred and Bill Moss, of the group The Twilights (who had released one single, "She's There", in 1965), they released a single entitled "First Tell Me Why" on Thames Records. The B-side of the single, "Stop! Get a Ticket",with a sound highly reminiscent of the Beatles, became a hit on Miami radio stations, and eventually Date Records picked it up for national distribution. The record reached #80 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single "One More Time" followed, peaking at #114. When follow-up records failed to chart, a planned full-length album was shelved, and Date dropped the group. By 1968 the group had disbanded.

Zeidae

The Zeidae (named after Zeus, the supreme god of Greek mythology) are a family of large, showy, deep-bodied zeiform marine fish—the "true dories". Found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, the family contains just six species in two genera. All species are important and highly regarded food fish supporting commercial fisheries, and some—such as the john dory (Zeus faber)—are enjoyed in large public aquaria. These fish are caught primarily by deep-sea trawling.
Several other families have members sharing the common name 'dory', some of which—i.e., those of genera Capromimus, Cyttomimus, and Cyttus—were once placed within the Zeidae. The first two genera are now found within the Zenionidae (or Zeniontidae), and the last genus has been given its own family, Cyttidae.
Physical description
All dories share the same roughly discoid, laterally compressed body plan. The head is large and...

Hard Candy Christmas

"Hard Candy Christmas" is a song written by composer/lyricist Carol Hall for the musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Near the end of the original play, individual girls of the brothel sing lines of the verses as they are preparing to leave; they join together on the refrains. This pattern was adopted for the film version of the musical, except for the fact that Dolly Parton (who played Miss Mona) is featured as soloist on the refrains, with the girls accompanying her. A further alteration can be found on the soundtrack album for the film, in which Parton alone sings the verses.
Parton's version of the song was released as a single and reached #8 on the U.S. country singles chart in November 1982. In 1998, the song re-entered the country charts and peaked at #73 based on unsolicited airplay. Though not expressly a "Christmas song", per se, Parton's recording received a fair amount of airplay on country stations around the holiday seasons during the...

In 1989 the site was officially designated the North Carolina Arboretum.
The arboretum is still under active development. It includes many hiking and bicycling trails, a bonsai collection, a holly garden, a stream garden, etc., as described below. Its tree collection includes a fine set of Metasequoias...

The Prophecy (Defiance album)

The Prophecy is the 4th album by thrash metal band Defiance, released in 2009. Unlike the previous 2 albums, Void Terra Firma, and Beyond Recognition, the album is much more straight forward thrash metal, almost resemblant to Product of Society.
The album had some pretty lukewarm reviews by both critics and metal fans alike. For example, about.com responded to this album with, "There will always be those bands out there who sadly failed to make the impact they deserved. Then again, there will also always be those C-level acts who feel the desperate need to reform and attempt to make good on the promise they never had in the first place. You could count the Bay Area’s Defiance—and their crippled “comeback” The Prophecy—as one of the latter." And themetalcrypt.com said, "Yet another ‘Thrash Revival' album that contains a shitload of groove and yelling but very little actual Thrash."
The album also received favorable reviews for their efforts...

Lucas was born in London on 27 May 1839, the fourth son of Louis Lucas, a West India merchant, and belonged to an old Jewish family. Lucas was educated at Brighton and at University College, London.

He married Isabel, daughter of Count d'Avigdor, and niece of Sir Francis Goldsmid, baronet, and died on 18 December 1873, leaving four children.

Colonel Kumar Lama

Colonel Kumar Lama or Kumar Lama was a colonel in the Nepalese Army before getting arrested in the UK on charges of torture. He was a military observer in the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and was arrested by the Scotland Yard at St. Leonard’s-on-sea near Hastings over torture he was alleged to have committed during the decade long conflict, while he was visiting the UK. He was held at his East Sussex home by the Metropolitan Police officers.
