In fact, most countries - including staunch capitalist bastions like the U.S. and U.K. - have government program...

This type of value-added bundle is going to characterize the vertical market in a few years. All this is missing is an easy to buy  insurance policy tailored to the vertical.

The Witches of Stalingrad

The Witches of Stalingrad | SoRo class | Scoop.it
“Imagine you’re a German soldier, fighting your way deep into the Soviet Union during the summer of 1942. During the time you’re not actually on the front lines, you feel pretty safe and get a chance to rest, let down your guard, even sleep a full night without constant vigilance. After all, the Soviet army is retreating fast, and you’re just 19 miles from Moscow.”

Skellig Michael: An Island Far, Far Away

Skellig Michael: An Island Far, Far Away | SoRo class | Scoop.it

"Star Wars Epiosde VII was filmed on Skellig Michael island in Ireland. What better place to depict an ancient, mystical, martial asceticism in a galaxy far, far away than an actual ancient eremitic settlement, dripping with stone-cold monastic austerity, located at what was for centuries the very ends of the earth, seven miles off the very tip of a western Irish peninsula?"

J. Mark Schwanz's curator insight, January 4, 2016 10:33 AM

Skellig Michael is sure to become a more common geographical interest since the success of Star Wars.
