There's no tenure requirement on this benefit either—every one of Google's 34,000 employees is immediately eligible regardless of how long they've worked there.On top of the half-salary, the spouse will also receive stock benefits and children will receive $1,000 per month until they turn 19.So generous of Google's CEO Larry Page!!!
CAPTCHA is a computer challenge-response test used to determine whether the user is human or computer robot.The process usually involves a computer asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to grade.
These tests are designed to be easy for a computer to generate but difficult for a computer to solve, but again easy for a human. They are not always easy for humans, though. If a correct solution is received, it can be presumed to have been entered by a human.

You may be familiar with the Windows XP background. It shows a beautiful green field underneath a crystal blue sky. A few clouds are scattered across the screen. The background is named "Bliss" and is an actual photo taken in Sonoma County, California.
Professional photographer Charles O'Rear took the photo for the digital design company HighTurn. Despite it's unreal appearance, O'Rear maintains that the photograph was not digitally enhanced or manipulated in any way. The image was captured from the side of the highway.
Here is the reason...Gold is universally weighed using a different measurement system than most other materials. It is weighed using the troy system, and troy ounces.This system is measured so that 12 troy ounces makes up 5760 grains to the pound, while the common measurement for feathers would make them equal to 7000 grains to the pound.Thus, a standard pound of feathers technically weighs more than a pound of gold!

A candle clock is a thin candle with consistently spaced markings (usually with numbers), that when burned, indicate the passage of periods of time. While no longer used today, candle clocks provided an effective way to tell time indoors, at night, or on a cloudy day.
A candle clock could be easily transformed into a timer by sticking a heavy nail into the candle at the mark indicating the desired interval. When the wax surrounding the nail melts, the nail clatters onto a plate below.

The International Space Station orbits about 354 kilometers above the Earth and travels at approximately 27,700 km/hr, so it takes about 92 minutes to circle the Earth once. For this reason, every 45 minutes the astronauts on-board see a sunrise or a sunset, with a total of 15 – 16 sightings of the sun "rising" and "setting" every single day.Space sunsets are said to be even more spectacular than any that can be viewed here on Earth. This is because from space you can see all the detail within each of the Earth’s atmospheres in breathtaking bands of pink, orange and blue!
Newborn babies are incapable of producing actual tears because their tear ducts haven’t fully formed yet. In many cases, their underdeveloped tear ducts can also be clogged with amniotic fluid for a time after birth.Every baby is born with basal tearing, which means that their tear ducts create enough moisture only to keep the eyes wet and healthy. Proper tears in a baby begin around 3 to 12 weeks old. In some cases, it will take even longer – up to the first several months of a baby’s life.
