La télénévrose, c'est une forme de trouble né de l'immersion prolongée dans un monde virtuel. Vous passez des journées face à votre écran. Vous êtes en relation avec des inconnus, vous voyez le monde à travers une lucarne réductrice. Votre implication affective est pratiquement nulle. Cela finit par agir sur votre équilibre nerveux. La destructuration de la pensée, est la conséquence du surfing et du zapping pratiqués par les nomades électroniques. Nous passons notre temps à "commuter" d'une idée à l'autre, d'un interlocuteur à l'autre, d'un dossier à l'autre. La pratique des réseaux peut déboucher sur le travail en miettes, sur la recherche de solutions trop rapides à un problème. Résultat : on ne prend pas le temps de réfléchir et d'approfondir. Il y a un risque de perte de substance. Les nouvelles méthodes de travail imposeront une discipline et une réorganisation du temps de travail. 1, record 6, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9n%C3%A9vrose

The idea of the contiguous zone has not commended itself to all States. At the 1930 Hague Codification Conference nine States opposed it, including all the British Dominions and the United States. The United Kingdom pointed out that its revenue jurisdiction does not extend to foreign ships, but this is the case only since 1853. In The Le Louis in 1817, Lord Stowell said : Maritime states have claimed a right of visitation and enquiry within those parts of the ocean adjoining to their shores, which the common courtesy of nations has for their common convenience allowed to be considered as parts of their dominions for various domestic purposes... Such are our hovering laws, which within certain limited distances more or less moderately assigned, subject foreign vessels to such examination. 1, record 7, English, - hovering%20law
