Will.i.am named Intel's director of creative innovation | Technology | Los Angeles Times Will.i.am is joining Intel as its director of creative innovation. The world's largest computer chip manufacturer announced the music producer and frontman for the Black Eyed Peas will contribute to the company by way of music and input in developing smart phones, tablets and laptops. In a message on Twitter, Will.i.am said, "Its official. I just became the director of creative innovation for Intel. Every beat I make is made with intel. And now were partners." Intel announced Tuesday its teaming with Will.i.am, whose real name is William James Adams Jr., in a news event at the Anaheim Convention Center, where the company is holding an internal sales and marketing conference. At the Anaheim event, Will.i.am showed off an Intel employee badge, the company said in a statement. The move to bring Will.i.am on as more than simply a spokesman follows in the footsteps of Polaroid, which appointed Lady Gaga its creative director in 2009.

Venture capital In addition to angel investing and other seed funding options, venture capital is attractive for new companies with limited operating history that are too small to raise capital in the public markets and have not reached the point where they are able to secure a bank loan or complete a debt offering. In exchange for the high risk that venture capitalists assume by investing in smaller and less mature companies, venture capitalists usually get significant control over company decisions, in addition to a significant portion of the company's ownership (and consequently value). Venture capital is also associated with job creation (accounting for 2% of US GDP),[2] the knowledge economy, and used as a proxy measure of innovation within an economic sector or geography. Every year, there are nearly 2 million businesses created in the USA, and 600–800 get venture capital funding. History[edit] Origins of modern private equity[edit] J.H.

None of the Toy Story films mention Andy’s father. After three feature-length films without even a glimpse or a mention of a father figure, it is fairly obvious that Andy’s mom is a single mother. When asked about the situation, Toy Story 3 director Lee U After three feature-length films without even a glimpse or a mention of a father figure, it is fairly obvious that Andy's mom is a single mother. When asked about the situation, Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich said, "We don't mean to be mysterious about it; it's just never been relevant to the story." Unkrich goes on to point out the fact that a 'complete' family can seem a bit too perfect when making a film. Having a character with a missing parent provides many opportunities for emotional moments that can connect with audiences on a very personal level. The screenwriters and directors have declined to comment on the whereabouts of Andy's father, but Unkrich did speculate a bit on the origins of Woody the cowboy: "Maybe Woody is so special to Andy because he was given to him by his dad. Perhaps we will find out in a Toy Story 4...
Hedge (finance) A hedge is an investment position intended to offset potential losses/gains that may be incurred by a companion investment. In simple language, a hedge is used to reduce any substantial losses/gains suffered by an individual or an organization. Public futures markets were established in the 19th century[1] to allow transparent, standardized, and efficient hedging of agricultural commodity prices; they have since expanded to include futures contracts for hedging the values of energy, precious metals, foreign currency, and interest rate fluctuations. Hedging is the practice of taking a position in one market to offset and balance against the risk adopted by assuming a position in a contrary or opposing market or investment. The word hedge is from Old English hecg, originally any fence, living or artificial. A typical hedger might be a commercial farmer. The trader has sold short the same value of shares (the value, number of shares × price, is $1000 in both cases).
This blockchain-based card game shows us the future of ownership Gods Unchained hasn’t even fully launched, but the collectible card game already has more hype around it than any blockchain game ever. This week a beta version opened to the public after months of private testing. But Fuel Games, the startup developing the game, says it has already sold millions of game cards and generated $4 million in revenue thanks to pre-sales. So why the excitement over yet another collectible card game (of which there are many)? To understand why people think this particular game could be such a big deal, you have to wrap your mind around something called “non-fungible tokens,” commonly called NFTs. Though the technical details behind them are complicated, to users NFTs are pretty simple: they are collectibles. Competitive collectible card games have been around for decades, in both physical and digital forms. Around 20 million people play Magic, and a huge secondary market has formed for players to buy and sell valuable cards.
Az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia kínai gyarmata - FALANSZTER 16 évig volt Bécs és Budapest gyarmata Tiencsin belvárosának 108 hektáros területe. Bár a koncessziós zóna gazdaságilag semmit sem lendített a Monarchia gazdaságán, tény: osztrák állampolgár volt az itt élő első kínai köztársasági elnök, majd császárrá koronázott Jüan Si-kaj. Az egykori osztrák-magyar koncessziós terület Tiencsinben napjainkban. Dávidok és Góliát: nyolcan egy ellen Az 1896-ban kínai nagykövetnek kinevezett báró Moritz Freiherr Czikann von Wahlborn (1847–1909) javasolta először, hogy az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia távol-keleti kereskedelmének megerősítése és felfuttatása érdekében minél hamarabb alapítson kereskedelmi telepeket Pekingben és a Sárga-tenger kínai partszakaszán. Nyolc Nemzet Szövetsége. Nagy zűr kis Kínában A kínai császári udvar 1901. szeptember 7-én kötötte meg Pekingben a békét a nyolc nemzet szövetségével. Az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia a félig-meddig Belvárosként működő Hebej városrész délnyugati, csúcsára állított háromszögre hasonlító kerületét kapta meg.

Toxic asset Toxic asset is a popular term for certain financial assets whose value has fallen significantly and for which there is no longer a functioning market, so that such assets cannot be sold at a price satisfactory to the holder. Because assets are offset against liabilities and frequently leveraged, this decline in price may be quite dangerous to the holder. The term became common during the Late-2000s financial crisis, in which they continue to play a major role. When the market for toxic assets ceases to function, it is described as "frozen." Markets for some toxic assets froze in 2007, and the problem grew much worse in the second half of 2008. Several factors contributed to the freezing of toxic asset markets. Origin[edit] "[The 100% loan-to-value subprime loan is] the most dangerous product in existence and there can be nothing more toxic..." Regarding Countrywide's subprime 80/20 loans: "In all my years in the business I have never seen a more toxic prduct [sic]. Market freeze[edit] ...

Islamabad Islamabad (Urdu: اسلام آباد, Islām ābād, Urdu pronunciation: [ɪsˌlɑːm ɑˈbɑːd̪]) is the capital city of Pakistan. Located within the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), the population of the city has grown from 95,940 in 1951 to 805,235 as of 1998 making it the ninth largest city in the country.[2] According to a 2012 estimate by the Census Department, the population of Islamabad including its surrounding territory has increased to 2 million[3] and together with its neighbouring twin city of Rawalpindi, the greater Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan area is the third largest conurbation in Pakistan with a population of over 4.5 million inhabitants.[4] Since its foundation, Islamabad has attracted people from all over Pakistan, making it one of the most cosmopolitan and urbanised cities of Pakistan. As the capital, Islamabad is the seat of the Government of Pakistan; the Presidential Palace (Aiwan-e-Sadr) is also located here. Etymology[edit] History[edit] Early history[edit] Islamabad Zones
Antimatter In particle physics, antimatter is material composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but have opposite charge and other particle properties such as lepton and baryon number. Encounters between particles and antiparticles lead to the annihilation of both, giving rise to varying proportions of high-energy photons (gamma rays), neutrinos, and lower-mass particle–antiparticle pairs. Setting aside the mass of any product neutrinos, which represent released energy which generally continues to be unavailable, the end result of annihilation is a release of energy available to do work, proportional to the total matter and antimatter mass, in accord with the mass-energy equivalence equation, E=mc2.[1] Antiparticles bind with each other to form antimatter just as ordinary particles bind to form normal matter. Antimatter in the form of anti-atoms is one of the most difficult materials to produce. History of the concept Notation Origin and asymmetry Positrons
