bill." Miss Ferrera, who plays Betty Suarez in the hit US show, is the latest in a long line of celebrities to be insured at the world’s leading,

As one might expect, Google continues to lead the pack in most countries by a large margin.
In 1997, Yahoo turned down the chance to buy Google for $1 million. Dramatically, today google is worth $200 billion, Yahoo just $20 billion. However, as a world-wide search
engine, Google had already been struggling in Asian market.
The data base below is the “Search Engine Market Share BY Country
2013.” There are 31 countries in the data base.
Google is the leader search engine in most countries, except China, Japan, Russia, and.South Korea.
It’s been more than two and a half years since Google left the Chinese search market, and the market share for its search and maps segments has continued to wane. The photo below shows the search engines in China. Google’s market
share continue decrease from 5.1% in Dec 2012 to 1.6 in Dec 2013..Why Google met so many trouble to get into the Chinese market?
The biggest fact is culture differences. The way Chinese citizen search for content online
differs significantly from the way people source information in the West. In China, the average age for search is 25, the west is 35;
In China, the focus on result page are widespread, covering whole page, however, in west, people more focus on upper left part of
page; In China, the popular search device is Mobile phone, in west, people more like using desktop or laptop. The search method is also
different. In China, people prefer to choose from list, in west, people prefer to type in key word. Thus, if Google still didn’t take its user
behaviors into account, it will hard to get into Asian market.

On April 12th, 1976, one of three co-founders of Apple Computer sold his 10% stake in the company for $2,300. Ronald Wayne says he
made the “best decision with the information available to me at the time” when he chose to sell his shares in the emerging technology
firm. Unlike counterparts Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Wayne had capital on the line and stood to lose his assets if Apple went
under. Had he retained his full stake in Apple to this day, it would currently be worth nearly
$60 billion. Wayne went on to enjoy a long career as an engineer with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and other
firms, Wired reports, and he later opened a stamp shop before retiring to Pahrump, Nevada. Apple is currently the most valuable company in the world and as of Wednesday’s close, the company’s market capitalization
totalled just under $585 billion.
Are sheep too smart for their own good, or are they just plain dumb? We’ll let you be the judge of that after you have read this bizarre
yet slightly fascinating story. As Turkish shepherds watched on whilst their herd of sheep grazed, one sheep decided that it had enough of the world and jumped to its death. It doesn’t stop there though…
As the stunned Turkish shepherds looked on, their herd of sheep one by one followed the initial sheep’s actions and jumped to their death as well – a nearly whopping 1,500 of them!
It was reported that in the end, 450 sheep died after the mass suicide jump. They were able to save quite a few as those who jumped later were saved as the pile of sheep got higher, therefore the pile became more cushioned.
Unfortunately, this mass suicide of sheep had an estimated loss to families of $100,000 – a very significant amount of money as the
average GDP per head is around the figure of $2,700

Afridi reaches another milestone!
Everyone knows Shahid Afridi is an
explosive batsman, a wicket-taking bowler and an excellent fielder. But did you know that Afridi has now added a feather to his already full hat? With this, he becomes the
second-best all-rounder in the history of cricket.
In the match against Australia on Monday, Shahid Afridi scored an all-new record. He became the second player ever to have scored 10,000 runs and, also take 500 wickets in international cricket. The
landmark record was achieved after he got rid of Glenn Maxwell, who was going on pretty strong when he was scalped by Afridi.
The swashbuckling Pathan now has 10,407 runs and 501 wickets to his credit. He got to the mark in 477 matches. The only other player to have achieved that record, and that too before Afridi is retired South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who has 25529 runs and 577 wickets to his name. This is the breakup of wickets scalped by Afridi: while he has 48 wickets in 27 Tests, he has 378 in 378 One-day Internationals. As far as the shortest format is concerned, Afridi has 75 wickets in 72 Twenty20
Internationals. Looks like no one is beating Afridi at this latest record, at least for the time being! The player who comes closest to it is the
monstrous Chris Gayle from West Indies, who has 244 wickets, a good distance away from Afridi.
Not just this, in the same match Afridi got yet another landmark. He also became the fourth Pakistani bowler ever to have taken
500 or more wickets. The others in that elite list are Wasim Akram with 916 wickets, Waqar Younis with 789 wickets and Imran
Khan with 544 wickets. A true all-rounder indeed! That’s Shahid
Afridi for you!
