Top 25 Tech Companies To Watch.

The Wall Street Journal set out to identify companies that show signs of becoming emerging leaders. A data analysis assessed their founders’ experience, investor track record, amount of investments raised, growth of workforce and buzz about the company. These five factors were given an equal weighting to calculate a maximum score of 100. The survey respondents were given the opportunity to name companies in any or all of these 10 subsectors: Business software, Consumer hardware, Cybersecurity, Education, Entertainment, Financial technology, Health care, Retail/e-commerce, Publishing and advertising, and Social Media. Companies were included only if they were less than six years old and had a valuation of $50 million to $500 million. Valuations were provided by Dow Jones VentureSource and its partner, Sand Hill Econometrics. The data for the analysis were drawn from Dow Jones VentureSource, Dow Jones Factiva, the companies and, in some cases, venture-capital firms.

Vela Supernova Remnant.
Credit & Copyright: Marco Lorenzi (Star Echoes). At the northwestern edge of the constellation Vela (the Sails), the four frame mosaic is over 10 degrees wide, centred on the glowing filaments of the Vela Supernova Remnant, the expanding debris cloud from the death explosion of a massive star. Light from the supernova explosion that created the Vela remnant reached Earth about 11,000 years ago. In addition to the shocked filaments of glowing gas, the cosmic catastrophe also left behind an incredibly dense, rotating stellar core, the Vela Pulsar. Some 800 light-years distant, the Vela remnant is likely embedded in a larger and older supernova remnant, the Gum Nebula.

Sunflowers (Tournesols) is the name of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, executed a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist's mind, both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions. On March 30, 1987, Japanese insurance magnate, Yasuo Goto, paid the equivalent of US $39,921,750 for van Gogh's Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers at auction at Christie's London. The painting currently resides at Seiji Togo Yasuda Memorial Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
