And in the decade-plus that’s followed, we’ve been constantly delighted by the ways in which people have used our technology—such as making an artificial limb using old designs discovered online. But we’re always impatient to do better for our users. Last April, I began by reorganizing the management team around our core products to improve responsibility and accountability across Google. A beautifully simple experience across Google Creating a simpler, more intuitive experience across Google has been another important focus. Think about basic actions like sharing or recommendations. When you sign up for Google+, you can use Circles to group people into different categories, such as “Friends,” “Family,” or “Rocket Scientists,” and then engage with them just like in real life.

Reiserecht: Kundin bucht Bordeaux statt Porto Stuttgart - Eine Buchung ist auch dann gültig, wenn die Mitarbeiterin eines Reiseunternehmens den Zielort wegen undeutlicher Aussprache des Kunden falsch verstanden hat. Der Kunde ist dafür verantwortlich, dass der Mitarbeiter ihn richtig versteht, urteilte das Amtsgericht Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. Das berichtet die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Reiserecht in ihrer Zeitschrift "ReiseRecht aktuell". In dem Fall hatte eine Kundin einen Flug nach Porto buchen wollen. Vor der verbindlichen Buchung habe sie zweimal in korrekter hochdeutscher Sprache die Flugroute genannt, erklärte die Mitarbeiterin. Diese Art von Fehlbuchung ist kein Einzelfall: Jährlich besuchen mehrere Urlauber einen Ort namens Rodez in Frankreich, die eigentlich nach Rhodos in Griechenland wollen.

A glimpse of teenage life in ancient Rome - Ray Laurence The Internet map 6 Ridiculous Myths About the Middle Ages Everyone Believes When you think of the Middle Ages, chances are you picture gallant knights sitting astride brilliant destriers galloping through a sea of plagues, ignorance, and filth. And you can hardly be blamed for that, when everything from the movies you watch to your high school history teacher (who was mainly the football coach) has told you that ... #6. Scientific Progress Was Dead Getty The Myth: They call it the Dark Ages for a reason. Getty"No, we can't cross the ocean there, don't you see that sea monster in the way?" The Reality: Aside from the fact that, as we've already explained, most people in the Middle Ages did not think the Earth was flat, the church wasn't responsible for killing science -- to the contrary, it was largely responsible for saving it. After the barbarians invaded Europe and Rome went the way of the dinosaurs, the Catholic church was the last remaining aspect of Roman culture in Western Europe.

La machine stratégique La stratégie peut être définie de manière liminaire comme la liberté de conduire l'action. Mais cette liberté est impersonnelle. La stratégie n'est pas la faculté d'un grand meneur ou d'un capitaine de l'action. Elle est le symptôme de son propre fonctionnement, elle est produite par ce qu'elle fait. C'est l'action elle-même qui révèle cette liberté en tant qu'intention ou motif stratégique. Jacques Monod indique à propos de la notion de téléonomie qu'elle « implique l'idée d'une activité , et ». En bref, la stratégie trace des lignes, relie des points, forme des plans et des volumes selon un schéma qui ordonne ou agence le réel. Quand on parle de stratégie on a tort de se focaliser sur le ( ) au détriment du ( ). Prenons deux composantes apparemment distinctes : le plan Marshall et la création de l'OTAN après 1945. En cela toute stratégie peut être démontée selon des mécanismes de causation, de rétro-action ou de transformation.
