Google's John Mueller said on Twitter yesterday "There is no fixed timeframe for algorithmic changes to take effect, past the need to recrawl & reprocess pages from the site." This isn't necessarily a new comment but it is good to share again.
Google Posts Allows Anchor Text Links For Verified Authors

Google & Bing With Martin Luther King Jr. Day Logos & Themes
If you visit Google or Bing's home page today at Google.com or Bing.com you will see special tributes for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Google's Doodle shows the young Martin Luther King Jr. writing one of his speeches as a desk. Bing shows the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C.
