In 1997, Yahoo turned down the offer to buy Google for $1 million - Today, Google is worth about $200 billion.
As one might expect, Google continues to lead the pack in most countries by a large margin.
In 1997, Yahoo turned down the chance to buy Google for $1 million. Dramatically, today google is worth $200 billion, Yahoo just $20 billion. However, as a world-wide search
engine, Google had already been struggling in Asian market.
The data base below is the “Search Engine Market Share BY Country
2013.” There are 31 countries in the data base.
Google is the leader search engine in most countries, except China, Japan, Russia, and.South Korea.
It’s been more than two and a half years since Google left the Chinese search market, and the market share for its search and maps segments has continued to wane. The photo below shows the search engines in China. Google’s market
share continue decrease from 5.1% in Dec 2012 to 1.6 in Dec 2013..Why Google met so many trouble to get into the Chinese market?
The biggest fact is culture differences. The way Chinese citizen search for content online
differs significantly from the way people source information in the West. In China, the average age for search is 25, the west is 35;
In China, the focus on result page are widespread, covering whole page, however, in west, people more focus on upper left part of
page; In China, the popular search device is Mobile phone, in west, people more like using desktop or laptop. The search method is also
different. In China, people prefer to choose from list, in west, people prefer to type in key word. Thus, if Google still didn’t take its user
behaviors into account, it will hard to get into Asian market.

Apple co-founder Ronald Wayne sold his 10% share in 1976 for $2,300 - Today, it’s worth over $58 billion.
On April 12th, 1976, one of three co-founders of Apple Computer sold his 10% stake in the company for $2,300. Ronald Wayne says he
made the “best decision with the information available to me at the time” when he chose to sell his shares in the emerging technology
firm. Unlike counterparts Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Wayne had capital on the line and stood to lose his assets if Apple went
under. Had he retained his full stake in Apple to this day, it would currently be worth nearly
$60 billion. Wayne went on to enjoy a long career as an engineer with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and other
firms, Wired reports, and he later opened a stamp shop before retiring to Pahrump, Nevada. Apple is currently the most valuable company in the world and as of Wednesday’s close, the company’s market capitalization
totalled just under $585 billion.
In 2005 in Turkey, a suicide sheepjumped off a cliff and 1500 sheepfollowed the first one
Are sheep too smart for their own good, or are they just plain dumb? We’ll let you be the judge of that after you have read this bizarre
yet slightly fascinating story. As Turkish shepherds watched on whilst their herd of sheep grazed, one sheep decided that it had enough of the world and jumped to its death. It doesn’t stop there though…
As the stunned Turkish shepherds looked on, their herd of sheep one by one followed the initial sheep’s actions and jumped to their death as well – a nearly whopping 1,500 of them!
It was reported that in the end, 450 sheep died after the mass suicide jump. They were able to save quite a few as those who jumped later were saved as the pile of sheep got higher, therefore the pile became more cushioned.
Unfortunately, this mass suicide of sheep had an estimated loss to families of $100,000 – a very significant amount of money as the
average GDP per head is around the figure of $2,700

Getting married in Germany
Getting Married in Germany If a couple plans to get married in Germany, it is recommended to start with the legal formalities as soon as possible (for example, in some regions - 6 months early) because a number of legal issues, such as previous marriages, can create a hassle. There will be local requirements depending on where in Germany you are getting married. Some important issues:
to check local embassy and the local magistrate's office (Standesamt); to apply for what documentation is needed (usually: a birth certificate (with the stamp), a passport stamped with proof of residence (Aufenthaltserlaubnis);
a health certificate; a statement of parental consent (if a party is under 18); a certified translation (Apostille) of all the documentation if it is not in German provided by the Deputy Secretary of State;
a single certificate (Ledigkeitbescheinigung), proving that there are no impediments to the marriage as both bride and groom are single; in case of previous marriages to present either a death certificate for the former spouse or proof that the marriage was permanently dissolved by divorce; Important to note: A simple divorce decree from an American or British court is usually not enough. A statement to this effect from the court that granted the divorce is needed. If one will be having a church ceremony after the official wedding, baptism certificates and a
Certificate of Dismission are needed; it allows to get married outside of one’s county if one is
Catholic. For same sex marriages, this is allowed in Germany. In Germany, gay couples have pretty much the same rights as heterosexual couples do. Cousin marriages are also allowed in Germany. It can be difficult for non-German citizens to get married in Germany. The best way to go about getting married in Germany is to have a professional wedding agency arrange it for you. Wedding agencies are aware of all the requirements and can take a load of added stress off of you.
In Germany, one can’t just get married in a church and be legally married. Everybody getting married must first appear at a
Standesamt for a civil ceremony. The great majority of couples go no further. Once the marriage is legal, then one may have the ceremony in a church. Quite a few Muslims,
Jews and atheists get married at the registrar's office to avoid the Christian traditional procedure. The cost of the Standesamt wedding ranges from €30 to €75 and the ceremony usually is
conducted in German, so one may need a presence of an interpreter. Though, the cost of getting married in Germany depends on the financial status of the couple. It should be noted, that the wedding rooms are usually nice, they are usually located in one of the community's finer buildings. The
right atmosphere is created with flowers, subdued lighting, oil paintings and deep carpeting. Germany has many magnificent
cathedrals, palaces and castles that offer wedding arrangements. In large cities there are some special agencies, renting out the clothing necessary for the wedding and all the attributes needed Wedding coaches, drawn by four white horses, are also available as well as antique cars, limousines and the like. There are services dealing with the organization of the
wedding holiday, taking into consideration one’s will and possibilities.
