  • Incidents of "reporter" style tweeting recently made negative headlines when a 17-year-old boy snapped a photo of a man dying in the street, but didn't stop to assist him. His apathetic actions sparked a debate -- when do we, as onlookers, interfere?
  • "What we found, very importantly, was that quite often the victim and the bully and even bystanders talk about a real-world bullying incident on social media," Zhu told the University of Wisconsin-Madison News.

      great article for gooners who want to learn more about Monreals move to the great arsenal football club.
  • p the position on the opposing flank of the Pamplona outfit's back line. Here was a defender in Monreal who was a natural in that department; he wasn't a converted winger because his club or national team needed full-backs (Sergio Ramos falls into that category), and prior to Azpilicueta's move to Marseille, both would have been well on course for greater things in Spanish football.
  • far more assured weapon in the attacking-third. Players brought in as back up like Armand Traore and Andre Santos should never have been deemed good enough to play for the club.

  • spoke incredibly highly of Santi Cazorla
  • e of either Real Madrid or Barcelona. But Arsenal should consider this an absolute steal, and one which they're certain to benefit from for many years in the future.
  • Maybe three or four years ago, Monreal would have been a typical 'Arsène Wenger signing,' relatively unknown and yet to make his mark on a bigger footballing stage. However, it's not too much of a shame that his arrival has been delayed, as, at 26, the player brings with him enough experience to become an instant hit at the Emirates.

      What are the main points of Microsoft on Google's Gmail privacy?  Use the highlighter and sticky notes to mark up the article and help us understand.
  • But privacy is a real issue for many consumers, and Microsoft argues that Google’s customers simply don’t understand the ways in which Google is using their personal data. Google automatically scans e-mail messages in Gmail to display ads that might be relevant to their content. Get an e-mail about an Alaska cruise and Gmail gives you ads for cruises, and so on.
