3 . What began in the late 1990s as a research project helmed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two students in Stanford University’s Ph. D. program, is now one of the most influential companies in the world: Google. At first, the students’ goal was to make an efficient search engine that gave users relevant links in response to search requests.

While search is still Google’s core purpose, the company now provides services and goods ranging from email and photo storage to productivity software, the Internet browser Chrome, the mobile operating system Android, Chrome laptops and the Pixel mobile phone. Google has evolved from that two-man enterprise into a multibillion-dollar corporation. In 2015, it re-structured and is the jewel of parent company Alphabet, making it one of the big-gest and richest companies in the world.

Google has long been the most visited site on the Web, too, making the company’s influence on commerce and culture undeniable. Practically every webmaster wants his or her site listed high on Google’s search engine results pages because that almost always translates into more traffic. Google has also acquired other Internet companies, ranging from blogging serv-ices to YouTube. For a while, the company’s search technology even powered rival companies’ search engines: Yahoo relied on Google searches for nearly four years until developing its own search engine technologies in 2004.

In this article, we’ll learn about the backbone of Google’s business, its search engine. We’ll also look at other services Google offers. Then we’ll take a quick glimpse at some of the tools, both software and hardware, which Google has developed over the years. We’ll also learn more about the equipment Google uses to keep its massive operation running. Finally, we’ll take a closer look at Google, the company.

7 . Charles Daniels didn’t grow up with a father in his house. As a child, he wasn’t given an explanation and that experience fueled his life’s mission (使命).” I was once that kid who blamed myself for my father’s absence. He wasn’t absent because he didn’t care about me.” Daniels tells Yahoo Life.

18.3 million children in the United States live without a father in the home. With his organization, Fathers’ Uplift, Daniels provides mental health coaching to assist fathers to overcome the barriers that prevent them from remaining engaged in their children’s lives.

“We have to be open to understanding why fathers are absent instead of judging them for being absent. The reason matters,” says Daniels. “Lots of them have issues with child welfare cases where they’ve not been able to see their kids.”

One way that Fathers’ Uplift provides support is by creating community. Many of the coaches are also fathers who have to overcome their own obstacles (障碍). The men call each other on their birthdays and they share their wins and losses.

At home, Daniels is a husband and father of two. When he thinks about his own children, his parenting philosophy is simple. He wants them to accept their imperfections. He also wants them to know they are loved by their family.

As Father’s Day approaches, Daniels realizes that the day can be tough for men who are separated from their children. He encourages them to hold on and to focus on what matters most.

10 . Identify the best charities

There are so many ways to support the creatures that share this planet with us, and one of the simplest ways is to donate to charities.

This decision led to the foundation of the Jane Goodall Foundation, and paved the way for some of the most illuminating research into chimpanzees which are at risk of extinction. The research continues to this day, focusing on the state of the forest and the chimpanzee populations which is shared with governments and other protection agencies.

The organization focuses on anti-poaching and endangered species conservation, as well as rescuing and hand rearing elephant and rhino orphans.

World Wildlife Fund
