The rise of Satya Nadella, the game-changing CEO of Microsoft
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. APWhen Satya Nadella first took the reins as Microsoft CEO in February 2014, the company was losing steam — fast.
Windows 8 had been a disaster. Microsoft employees were constantly battling behind the scenes for supremacy. And all the while, consumers and developers alike were losing the faith.
Times change.
As 2016 draws to a close, Microsoft has found its groove again as a company that provides software and services to everyone, on any device — and is even starting to convert some Apple fans to Windows.
There's still a lot that Microsoft needs to do. But we thought it'd be fun and interesting to take a look back at the life and career of Nadella, the CEO who is making it all happen at one of the biggest, most valuable technology companies on the planet.
Satya Narayana Nadella was born in Hyderabad, India, in 1967. His dad was a civil servant, and his mom was a professor of the ancient language Sanskrit.
From a young age, Nadella wanted to be a professional cricket player, and he played in school. But he realized that his athletic talent was outmatched by his passion for science and technology.
Nadella received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology in 1988. "I always knew I wanted to build things," Nadella once said.
But the Manipal Institute of Technology didn't have a real computer-science program, so he traveled to the US to attend the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, from which he graduated in 1990.
Now in the US, Nadella would go on to work for Sun Microsystems, the legendary Silicon Valley computer-server company.
Nadella joined Microsoft in 1992. Bill Gates was still the company's CEO, and Windows had just begun its march to world domination.
Nadella was one of only about 30 Indian immigrants working at the company. His first projects included Microsoft's ill-fated interactive-TV product and the Windows NT operating system.

Louis Braille, a French educator and developer of a reading and writing method for visually challenged persons, was born on January 4, 1809. His system has remained practically unchanged since its invention, and is simply known as braille around the world.

Born on January 4, 1643, Sir Isaac Newton was an English scientist and mathematician and is credited as one of the great minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution.

His work laid the foundation of classical mechanics. He shaped up the law of motion and universal gravitation. His achievements dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries.

His work and life is commemorated in the entire world as it changes the belief system of the world. An ample amount of coins were minted on his name as well as a number of Banknotes and stamps were issued to remember his contribution.

Newton’s first philatelic appearance was on a French stamp in 1957, part of a series featuring great names from science and the arts. The stamp with the denomination of 18 Francs features the portrait of Sir Newton and the years of his birth and Death.

The Middlesex county of London issues a coin commemorating the contribution of Sir Isaac Newton. This copper Conder halfpenny token was issued is dated 1793. Obverse: Bust to left: inscription - “SR. ISAAC NEWTON”. Reverse: Winged caduceus with intertwined serpents, olive branch and cornucopia: Inscription - “HALFPENNY 1793”.

Sir Isaac also appears on a banknote of Britain. The one pound British sterling banknote depicts a portrait of Sir Newton shown holding a copy of principia in his hand. One can also observe a Sun placed at the centre of an eclipse.

Some Facts about Isaac Newton
1. Isaac Newton discovered gravity :
He was in his mothers garden that he observed how an apple fell from a tree. This was the moment he got inspired to formulate his theory of universal gravitation.
Isaac Newton observed that the same force that pulled the apple applied to the moon. This formed the basis of one of his most fundamental discoveries.
2. Isaac Newton was a preterm Miracle baby:
On a cold morning on 4 January 1643, Isaac Newton was born albeit prematurely and was not expected to survive since he was so tiny.
3. Sir Isaac Newton: Knighted by the Queen Anne:
Queen Anne of England visited the Trinity College, Cambridge on 17 April 1705. It was then that the Queen Knighted Isaac Newton.

January 3 marks the birth anniversary of a social reformer and feminist icon Savitribai Phule. Phule was born on January 3, 1831, and is remembered for her vital role in championing women rights in India.
Savitribai, together with her husband Jyotirao Phule, founded one of India's first girls' schools in Pune, at Bhide Wada, in 1848.
Apart from that, Savitribai Phule also broke the shackles of patriarchy by becoming the first Indian woman to become a teacher at a time when girls were not allowed to attend schools. She is also regarded as the first female teacher of India.
As India celebrates Savitribai Phule's birth anniversary, here are a few facts about her:
Phule was married off to Jyotiba at the age of nine. She was illiterate at the time, but her husband taught her to read and write at their home.
After completing her education, she enrolled herself in two teacher's training programs, one in Ahmedabad and another in Pune, according to reports. Following her training, she became India's first female teacher as well as the first Indian headmistress.
Savitribai Phule later became a teacher and established three schools for girls in Pune by the end of 1851, with her husband.
Phule later opened a women's shelter called the Home for the Prevention of Infanticide where widows can deliver their children and leave them for adoption if they wanted.
She was against the child marriage and strongly opposed the Sati tradition. Phule also set up a shelter home for widows.
Savitribai also used her voice to raise awareness regarding widow remarriage.
In Bhida Wada school established by Savitribai Phule, she hired Fatima Begum Sheikh, who was the sister of Jyotiba’s friend Usman Sheikh. Fatima became the first Muslim woman teacher in the country, reports said.
Despite facing resistance from the local community with conservative views, Savitribai continued to teach girls and children of different castes.
She died on March 10, 1897 after contracting a disease while trying to save a 10-year-old boy.

The James Webb Space Telescope (sometimes called JWST or Webb) is an orbiting infrared observatory that will complement and extend the discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope, with longer wavelength coverage and greatly improved sensitivity. The longer wavelengths enable Webb to look much closer to the beginning of time and to hunt for the unobserved formation of the first galaxies, as well as to look inside dust clouds where stars and planetary systems are forming today.

KEY FACTS: Proposed Launch Date: December 25, 2021 07:20am EST ( 2021-12-25 12:20 GMT/UTC) Launch Vehicle:Ariane 5 ECA Mission Duration5 - 10 years Total payload mass:Approx 6200 kg, including observatory, on-orbit consumables and launch vehicle adaptor. Diameter of primary Mirror:6.5 m (21.3 ft) approximately Clear aperture of primary Mirror:25 m2 Primary mirror material:beryllium coated with gold Mass of primary mirror:705 kg Mass of a single primary mirror segment:20.1 kg for a single beryllium mirror, 39.48 kg for one entire primary mirror segment assembly (PMSA). Focal length:131.4 meters Number of primary mirror segments:18 Optical resolution:~0.1 arc-seconds Wavelength coverage:0.6 - 28.5 microns Size of sun shield:21.197 m x 14.162 m (69.5 ft x 46.5 ft) Temp of sun shield layers:Layer 1:Max temperature 383K = approx 231F, Layer 5: Max temperature 221K = approx -80F, Min temperature 36K = approx -394F Orbit:1.5 million km from Earth orbiting the L2 Point Operating Temperature:under 50 K (-370 °F) Gold coating:Thickness of gold coating = 100 x 10-9 meters (1000 angstroms). Surface area = 25 m2. Using these numbers plus the density of gold at room temperature (19.3 g/cm3), the coating is calculated to use 48.25g of gold, about equal to the mass of a golf ball. (A golf ball has a mass of 45.9 grams. Note mass does not equal size!)

Srinivasa Ramanujan, the Indian mathematician who discovered number theory, was born in Erode, British India, in 1887.

Srinivasa Ramanujan was a mathematical prodigy who lived in India. He made significant contributions to number theory and worked on elliptic functions, continuing fractions, and infinite series. Ramanujan was born in Erode, a tiny hamlet around 400 kilometres southwest of Madras. In 1902, Ramanujan was shown how to solve cubic equations, and he went on to develop his own method for solving quartic equations. He attempted to solve the quintic the next year, oblivious to the fact that radicals could not solve it.
