Cops took my laptop, opened it on the scene. Then punched me in the head until I gave them the password. Laptop, wallet, cell not returned.

There is simply no justification for the killing of so many people today by Egyptian security forces. Not politically, legally or morally.
 sandymaxey (@sandymaxey)8/14/13 6:17 AM RT @NextCityOrg A new study from Finland explores why people are attracted to collaborative consumption.bit.ly/19h3jXu #SharedCity |
Study: Why We Start Sharing Isn’t Why We Keep Doing It
Collaborative consumption, they write, "has been regarded as a mode of consumption that engages especially environmentally and ecologically conscious consumers." But their findings "suggest that these aspirations might not translate so much into behavior as they do into attitudes."
In short, the study found that users are attracted to using services like Sharetribe because of a desire to do more with less, and the fun that comes with being part of a community. But they actual take part in sharing behaviors because of what it does for their wallets. The reputation boost that participation might be thought to provide didn’t matter much either way.

The battlefield is at Batal Ahmed Abdel Aziz. Some of the pro-Morsi advance and retreat, and the majority are settled at Mostafa Mahmoud sq.

really?
how is any test ... that you buy for a population... worth it...?
esp as pertaining to a prescribed/mandated curriculum/core

Beyond The Story's chief technology officer Kirk Bowe explains the motivation further. "We're really talking about early teens, which is the first time people become engaged with the story at school level," he says.
if that is the case.. why do we shame people that don't school read before that.
perhaps a huge.. and perhaps damming/damning correlation.. no?
"That's the direction our platform is heading in," he says. "How do you present all this as a cohesive, coherent experience for the reader without sending them off to separate books or Wikipedia, and breaking the spell?"
perhaps Wikipedia is part of a spell.. better perhaps a universal allure... a space for the adjacent possible.. the dance.. for all..
perhaps... the game.. the dance.. for 100% of humanity.. encourages/facilitates whimsy/choice/natural organic allure
Ultimately, though, Beyond The Story wants to license its platform to publishers so that authors can use it when writing their boo
oh. the demise of the license...
