Peines d'amour perdues (William Shakespeare) - texte intégral - Théâtre Navarre. Un parc avec un palais. Que la Renommée, objet de la poursuite de tous les hommes pendant leur vie, reste gravée sur nos tombeaux d’airain et nous honore dans la disgrâce de la mort ! En dépit du temps, ce cormoran qui dévore tout, un effort, pendant l’instant où nous respirons, peut nous conquérir un honneur qui émoussera le tranchant de sa faux, et fera de nous les héritiers de toute l’éternité. Je suis décidé : ce n’est qu’un jeûne de trois ans ; si le corps souffre, l’âme jouira. Mon aimable souverain, Dumaine se mortifiera ; il abandonne aux vils esclaves d’un monde grossier ses plaisirs plus grossiers encore : je renonce et je meurs à l’amour, à la richesse et aux grandeurs, pour vivre en philosophe avec eux et vous. Je ne puis que répéter à mon tour la même protestation. Votre serment de vous abstenir de ces trois points est prononcé. Permettez-moi de répondre non, mon souverain. Biron, avec cet article, vous avez juré les autres aussi. Quoi ! Rien pour la raison. Eh bien !
News: The Blog I am at a loss: I have a scientific proof that can save everyone’s life but no one listens. The proof implies that CERN — the European Research Council – currently attempts to shrink the earth to 2 cm in a runaway process consummated in about 5 years’ time and effective with a probability of about 8 percent, if the LHC experiment is not stopped immediately. The scientific safety conference already demanded three years ago got recently requested from the German government by a Cologne court. But the globe’s media keep silent (except for the tiny “ET-Journal,” Volume 16, pages 58–59, 2011). Maybe the court and the present writer are both crazy? Can one of my readers name a scientist ready to shoulder the job of disproving my result (so far a few tried but none remained in the ring)?

Are You Wasting Money On Useless Knowledge Management? - Ian MacMillan, Max Boisot, and Martin Ihrig - The Conversation by Martin Ihrig, Max Boisot, and Ian MacMillan | 11:54 AM January 20, 2011 Is your company investing in expensive knowledge management systems that are useless for making big, strategy decisions? Most companies recognize the need for knowledge management, but often delegate it to the IT and HR departments without linking it to corporate strategy, often thereby wasting both resources and the strategic options their firm’s knowledge could generate. The problem is that most current knowledge management efforts merely inventory the company’s knowledge, without parsing out the knowledge that is strategically relevant. Strategic management of knowledge focuses only on those knowledge assets that are critical to your firm’s competitive performance — from the tacit expertise of key individuals right through to explicit company-wide general principles. In our simplified format, knowledge assets map along two dimensions. Figure 1: Map A Codification: Diffusion: BIOS: Ian C.
