Wolfram Alpha
Who ever thought Google would be blown out of the water? Google has been the internet heavy weight for so long, most of us forgot to even try to challenge it. But now Google may be taking the backseat. It seems there is a new ’search engine’ on the immediate horizon that will answer your question just like a human would AND give you relative sites to look at. The intelligence of Wolfram Alpha is so amazing it’s scary.
To highlight a snippet from one of the press releases:
“Wolfram Alpha will not only give a straight answer to questions such as “how high is Mount Everest?”, but it will also produce a neat page of related information – all properly sourced – such as geographical location and nearby towns, and other mountains, complete with graphs and charts.
The real innovation, however, is in its ability to work things out “on the fly”, according to its British inventor, Dr Stephen Wolfram. If you ask it to compare the height of Mount Everest to the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, it will tell you. Or ask what the weather was like in London on the day John F Kennedy was assassinated, it will cross-check and provide the answer. Ask it about D sharp major, it will play the scale. Type in “10 flips for four heads” and it will guess that you need to know the probability of coin-tossing. If you want to know when the next solar eclipse over Chicago is, or the exact current location of the International Space Station, it can work it out.
Dr Wolfram, an award-winning physicist who is based in America, added that the information is “curated”, meaning it is assessed first by experts. This means that the weaknesses of sites such as Wikipedia, where doubts are cast on the information because anyone can contribute, are taken out. It is based on his best-selling Mathematica software, a standard tool for scientists, engineers and academics for crunching complex maths.
“I’ve wanted to make the knowledge we’ve accumulated in our civilisation computable,” he said last week. “I was not sure it was possible. I’m a little surprised it worked out so well.”

Looking for a Hole in One Prize?
I’ve found one! If you are looking for a great golf tournament promotion and need golf insurance, I think I just found the perfect solution for you so I thought I’d share it:
National Hole in One (NHIIO or NHIOA) has paid out in excess of $50,000,000 is cash and prizes and has successfully insured over 300,000 tournaments the world over. Their events are well known to be special and unique, leaving the attending golfers asking when the next one will be.
Just a few of the benefits of working with NHIOA:
· They help your event so all players have an equal chance of winning. Even ladies get a true shot because they get to play from their regular Ladies Tee!
· They don’t place limits on the distance of play for your Grand Prize hole.
· They create customized, state-of-the art, weather resistant golf signs to make an awesome impression, highlight your sponsors, grab attention, and spice up your tournament.
· They let you decide what the Grand Prize ‘Pot of Gold’ will be. Hole in One Insurance can cover anything of value. Planes, trains, and automobiles? How about race horse or a yatch? Diamonds? Cash? Whatever you’d like to offer, they’ve got the program to cover it.
· They offer Weather Insurance so you don’t have to worry about the loss of revenue or investment that could be jeopardized by Mother Nature. (They hear she’s not really a golf fanatic.)
· They offer add-on contests, such as shoot outs or putting contests.
· They also have prize promotion programs outside of golf. Ask them about their Grand Prize Promotions.
· They have the ‘best in class’ golf sponsor signs for your golf outing with 28 years in the business of being a proven, trusted provider of prize coverage and well…they’re just plain fun to work with.
