Speaker at a PechaKucha Night event in Cluj-Napoca, Romania PechaKucha (Japanese: ペチャクチャ, IPA: [petɕa ku͍̥tɕa],[1] chit-chat) is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total). The format, which keeps presentations concise and fast-paced, powers multiple-speaker events called PechaKucha Nights (PKNs). PechaKucha Night was devised in February 2003[4][5] by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo's Klein-Dytham Architecture (KDa), as a way to attract people to SuperDeluxe, their experimental event space in Roppongi, and to allow young designers to meet, show their work, and exchange ideas. In 2004, a few cities in Europe began holding PKNs, the first of several hundred cities that have since launched similar events around the world.[8] As of May 2016, PKNs were held in over 900 cities worldwide. A typical PechaKucha Night (PKN) includes 8 to 14 presentations. In each presentation 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each.

Organisers in some cities have added their own variations to the format. For example, in Groningen, in the Netherlands, two slots are given to a live band, and the final 20 seconds of each presentation consists of an immediate critique of the presentation by the host’s sidekicks. The audience is usually from the design, architecture, photography, art and creative fields, but also from academia.[10] Most presenters are design professionals showing their creative work, but presenters often speak about such topics as their travels, research projects, student projects, hobbies, collections, or other interests. Video art has also been presented at some events. To start a PechaKucha Night, potential organizers contact the PechaKucha organization, and after an informal application process, exchange a "handshake" agreement.[11] There are no limitations to a PechaKucha night. Anyone is invited to partake in the presentation. PechaKucha is a registered tradename of Klein-Dytham Architecture (KDa).

[12] The PechaKucha terms of use require presenters to "grant PechaKucha Night certain non-exclusive rights and license to reproduce their appearance."fila vamos backpack[13] Event flyers are posted on the global PechaKucha Daily blog,[14] while videos of presentations are posted online as well.80l backpack too big ^ Japanese pronunciation at Forvohaerfest backpack ukGoogle's Sundar Pichai travelled in buses, had no television while growing upHighlights• Sundar Pichai's mother worked as a stenographer before she had children; wwe backpack stunnerhis father was an electrical engineer for the British conglomerate GECatlas checkpoint friendly laptop backpack

Today, the title has become official as Larry Page has handed over the title of Google CEO to the Chennai-born engineer with an eye for product development. Pichai's story seems straight out of a Bollywood flick, a tale of a boy born without a silver spoon in the mouth going to achieve one of the most coveted positions in the world through sheer hard work. READ ALSO: Low-key style, technical chops helped Sundar Pichai become new Google CEO Following is an excerpt from a report by Bloomberg: Pichai was born in Chennai, a city of 4 million in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. His mother worked as a stenographer before she had children; his father was an electrical engineer for the British conglomerate GEC and managed a factory that made electrical components. "I used to come home and talk to him a lot about my work day and the challenges I faced," recalls Regunatha Pichai. "Even at a young age, he was curious about my work. I think it really attracted to him to technology." The family of four lived in a two-room apartment, with Sundar and his younger brother sleeping in the living room.

During much of his childhood, the Pichais didn't have a television or a car. For transportation, the choice was either one of the crowded, stifling city buses or the family's blue Lambretta scooter. All four would pile on — Regunatha driving, Sundar standing at the front, and his younger brother perched on the back of the seat with their mother. The Pichais got their first telephone, a rotary, when Sundar was 12. The phone revealed to him the magical conveniences of technology, as well as an unusual gift: He could remember every number he ever dialed. "My uncle would call up and say, 'Hey, I lost this phone number, but you once helped me dial it,' and I would be able to tell him," Pichai says. "I wasn't so sure that was useful." (It is now: Google executives marvel at Pichai's powers of numerical recall. Alan Eustace, vice president for engineering, says that during a recent meeting, Pichai produced a statistic related to the increase of voice-activated searches. "That's my area," Eustace says, "and he knew a number I did not know.")

After graduating, he won an additional scholarship to Stanford University to study materials science and semiconductor physics. Pichai's father tried to take out a loan to cover the cost of the plane ticket and other expenses. When it didn't come through in time, he withdrew $1,000 from the family's savings — more than his annual salary. "My dad and mom did what a lot of parents did at the time," Pichai says. "They sacrificed a lot of their life and used a lot of their disposable income to make sure their children were educated."

He later bought a used one on an online bulletin board. Pichai lived with a host family during his first year and spent much of the time miserably lamenting the absence of his girlfriend, Anjali, who later joined him in the US and is now his wife.
