A part ca quoi de neuf? 23-11-2006

  • Google lorgne sur l'Afrique du Sud et prévoirait d'y installer des équipes de développement produits. Les intentions de Google sur l'Afrique ne sont pas nouvelles, et depuis pres d'un an il y a des offres d'emploi de business development disponibles sur leur site. Pour Ema Linaker, corporate communications and public affairs manager pour la région EMEA a Google, “Our objective is to offer all of our core products in any language that has a significant user base. The mission of the company is to make information universally available and accessible." La question que se pose la blogosphere est de savoir qui du Cap ou de Joburg hebergera les bureaux du géant américain de l'Internet.

  • L'aventure africaine de la Chine dans le New York Times. Cette aventure a pour relais d'étape l'Angola et le développement du pays passe par la construction d'infrastructures pérennes dans un pays ravage par la guerre. Un passage de l'article m'interpelle: "The Chinese are a mysterious presence in Angola. Everyone seems to know about them and their assorted projects, but few people have actually seen them, and scarcely anyone can claim to have talked to them. The Chinese rarely venture beyond the encampments in which they live and work." La question petroliere et l'acces aux ressources reste au centre de ces relations sino-africaines. Et comme le conclut James Traub, "China’s Africa policy shows that globalization is increasingly divorced from Westernization. We have grown accustomed to the idea that Africa needs us; it’s time to recognize that we, like China, need Africa." Sur le meme theme, sur le blog Africabeat, les commentaires de Paul Wolfowitz sur la politique africaine de la Chine.

There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

The Jennifer "JJ"Jareau principle In the critically acclaimed US TV Show Criminal Minds , Jennifer "JJ"Jareau a.k.a "JJ" quoted nicely her exit interview in the 2nd episode of the 6th Season.  Here's what I named it the Jennifer "JJ" Jareau principle. I'm thankful for my years spent with this family; for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow.  I'll take the best of them and lead by their example; where ever I go.  A friend told me to be honest with you, so here it goes.  This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road.  Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or I don't want to walk around angry.  Or maybe it's because I finally understand.  There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept; things we don't want to know, but have to learn, and people we can't live without, but have to let go. As you can see, ...

This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. | JJ Principle (1)

Take the High Road. I am sure several ones of you have heard it before tossed at like a wisdom nugget, and have wondered "which road is that ?" or worse, should you have been too stunned or lost, your mouth merely expulsed two words "come again ?" Truth be told, it's one of these sentences that are thrown away when a conflict arises, but on which, few can give a precise defintion. I'll try my best to remedy to that.   So what does "Take the high road" really means ? John C. Maxwell theorized The High Road Principle gives us a good explanation by stating that there are three roads or options that we can take in life:   The low road : where we treat people worse than they treat us. The middle road : where we treat people the same as they treat us The high road : where we treat people better than they treat us Let's ponder the options set out by Mr Maxwell 1. The Low Road If treated poorly, one reaction co...
