Parts of central London have been plugged with pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel rallies since the start of the Israel-Gaza war. Most have been almost entirely peaceful, through a disturbing trend seems to be in place. At one mass rally, a vile placard declared "Hitler you were right!" At another, protesters confronted a Jewish woman and shouted "Burn in hell."
The Community Service Trust, the British charity that monitors anti-Semitic "incidents" and provides security advice to Britain's Jews, said that since fighting broke out on July 8 the number of such incidents has doubled to the second monthly highest on record. As the war rages on and the body count rises, the anti-Semitic incident tally could break a British record in August.
What's happening in France is far worse. The country is home of Europe's largest Jewish and Muslim populations (about 500,000 and 5-million, respectively).
Recently in France, at least eight Synagogues were attacked, according to The New York Times. In Paris, a pro-Palestinian protest turned ugly when several Jewish shops were burned and some demonstrators chanted "Death to Jews."
The French government banned protests in certain parts of France as the violence intensified and prime minister Manuel Valls warned that a "new form of anti-Semitism" was gripping the country. About the same time, Natan Sharansky, the former Israeli politician who is chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, warned that "we are seeing the beginning of the end of Jewish history in Europe." He estimated that as many as 6,000 Jews were expected to leave France for Israel this year because of anti-Semitism.
Anti-Semitism is apparently flourishing in Europe; the number of recorded incidents, ranging from swastikas painted on synagogues to violent attacks on Jewish shops and institutions (in May, a gunman used a rifle to kill four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels) has been on the rise recently.
Some of the surge can be blamed on the Israel-Gaza war and the ubiquitous images of dead and dying Palestinian children. But that explains only part of the story. An influx of Muslim immigrants to Europe, some of whom come from countries with a history of anti-Semitism, may be playing a role. Another theory says the war has merely exposed latent anti-Semitism, giving anti-Semites "cover" to expose their bigotry.
A British-trained human rights lawyer and law professor, who did not want his name used, said he believes Britain has always had an undercurrent of anti-Semitism and that the latest Gaza conflict has merely exposed some of the worst anti-Semitic behaviour.
In an email, he said: "The tendency for anti-Israel demonstrations to result in displays of anti-Semitism is far from new. I remember as a student [in London] how, in an anti-poll tax demonstration [in the 1980s], a large portion of the marchers cheerfully took up the chant of 'Burn it down!' as we passed Hillel House, as if it were a politically sophisticated response when faced with a 'Zionist' institution. Hillel House was set up for Jewish university students. It was terrifying."
Still another theory says that the European recession, which has been particularly brutal in the southern Europe, where youth unemployment rates are 40 per cent or higher, has triggered a backlash against outsiders and Jews alike. "I would categorize the recession as being a contributing factor," says Richard Goldstein, director of operations in London for the Institute for Jewish Policy Research. "Jews have been associated, however unfairly, with money and wealth for so long."
The intense media coverage of the war, much of it sympathetic to the Palestinians, has added fuel to the anti-Semitic fire, Jewish and Muslim group say. And what the mainstream European media shows is positively sanitized compared to what can be found on social media such as Twitter, where pictures of dead, dying and mutilated Palestinian children are common.
"The thing about social media is that it cannot be reined in," says Salman Farsi, communications officer for the East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre. "Everyone pushes out their propaganda and it's quite scary. Left unchecked, it will generate more hatred and possibly violence."
Mark Gardner, director of communications for Britain's Community Service Trust, has a similar view. "I think of a lot of the anti-Semitic reaction comes from the media," he said. "It causes enraged people to become more enraged. It can come from the mainstream media or, increasingly, from self-selected media like the social media sites."
For years, CST has carefully monitored anti-Semitic "incidents" in Britain and claims it is ultra careful to distinguish between ant-Semitic and anti-Israel behaviour. Mr. Gardner says the number of anti-Semitic incidents always spike up when the Israel-Gaza conflict, ongoing since 2006 erupts into extreme violence (Hamas has ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007).
The peak monthly number of anti-Semitic incidents recorded in Britain by the CST was 289, in January, 2009, during Operation Cast Lead. That's when the Israelis, determined to stop the rocket launches from Gaza and the delivery of arms into Gaza through what Israel described as "terror tunnels", launched a bombardment and ground invasion of the strip. Between 1,200 and 1,400 Palestinians were killed, and 13 Israelis.
The second highest figure came this month as the Israel-Gaza war grew bloodier by the day. Between July 1 and July 29, 130 anti-Semitic incidents were recorded.
Mr. Goldstein, of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, says the rise of the extreme right-wing parties, almost all of them anti-immigrant, a few of them openly anti-Semitic, has frightened Jews across Europe. "It's extraordinary what's happening," he says.
- Marine Le Pen's Front National Placed first in France in the European Union elections in May. The FN has been having trouble burying is anti-Semitic past and is considered such a politically liability that even the UK Independence Party, the anti-immigrant party that placed first in Britain, refuses to form a coalition with it.
- In Greece, Golden Dawn, the neo-Nazi party whose senior members were charged last year with running a criminal organization, won 9 per cent of the vote and placed three members in the European parliament. Golden Dawn uses a stylized Nazi flag and Nazi memorabilia has been found in the houses of a few of its members.
- Hungary's Jobbik party, which placed second in the European election, openly promotes its ant-Semitic stance. Among other horrors, the party's deputy leader, in 2012, called for a national "tally" of Jews.
It comes as no wonder, then, that increasing numbers of Europe's Jews are running scared. Last year, the EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights published an extensive report on Jewish perceptions and experiences of anti-Semitism. It was based on surveys with almost 6,000 respondents in nine European countries.
The report concluded that two thirds of Europe's Jews consider anti-Semitism to be a problem while more than three quarters "believe the situation has become more acute and that anti-Semitism has increased in the country where thy live over the past five years." If the survey were done today, there is little doubt the fear figures would be higher. Maybe Mr. Sharanksy is right when he predicts the beginning of the end for Europe's Jews.Report Typo/Error

Why is President Trump badmouthing his attorney general, why doesn't he just fire him, and what does he hope to accomplish by pushing him out?
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III has spent much of his career making enemies. The Alabaman's strident views have won him plenty of detractors, from civil-rights activists to fellow members of the Senate. But in Donald Trump, Sessions believed he had finally found a champion and fellow traveler. Instead, it seems Sessions has found his most formidable enemy yet.
Trump is now on his second consecutive day of publicly humiliating the attorney general on Twitter, following an interview with The New York Times last week in which he said he wished he'd never appointed Sessions. The attorney general's decision to recuse himself from investigation into Russian interference in the election infuriated Trump, who has repeatedly tried to end the investigation, including by firing FBI Director James Comey. Instead, Comey's firing resulted in the appointment of a special counsel to take the case. Here's Trump's latest broadside against Sessions:
The president addressed the quadrennial gathering like a campaign rally—talking to a group devoted to service as if it valued self-interest.
Donald Trump continued his ongoing tour of cherished American institutions on Monday night, delivering yet another jarringly partisan speech to an apolitical audience—this one, comprising tens of thousands still too young to vote.
During the campaign, his performance at the Al Smith dinner—where presidential candidates roast their rivals and themselves every four years—devolved into overt attacks on his opponent. Shortly after his election, he stunned CIA employees by delivering a campaign-style stump speech before the agency's Memorial Wall. On Saturday, he surprised the crowd of uniformed personnel at the commissioning of the USS Gerald R. Ford by imploring them to lobby Congress in support of his agenda.
The internet's favorite fact-checkers are caught in a messy dispute.
On Monday, the editorial staff of Snopes.com wrote a short plea for help. The post said that the site needed money to fund its operations because another company that Snopes had contracted with "continues to essentially hold the Snopes.com web site hostage."
"Our legal team is fighting hard for us, but, having been cut off from all revenue, we are facing the prospect of having no financial means to continue operating the site and paying our staff (not to mention covering our legal fees) in the meanwhile," the note continued.
It was a shocking message from a website that's been around for more than 20 years—and that's become a vital part of internet infrastructure in the #fakenews era. The site's readers have responded. Already, more than $92,000 has been donated to a GoFundMe with a goal of $500,000.
President Trump is reportedly considering drastic action to end the Russia investigation.
Why do Donald Trump and his advisors keep floating the possibility of firing Robert Mueller, an act that would spark the greatest constitutional crisis since Watergate, perhaps the greatest in modern American history?
Partly, it's simple rage. Mueller threatens Trump. And when Trump sees someone as a threat, he tries to discredit and destroy them—conventional norms of propriety, decency and legality be damned.
But there's another, more calculated, reason. Trump and his advisors may genuinely believe that firing Mueller is a smart move. And if you put morality aside, and see the question in nakedly political terms, they may be right.
The chances that Mueller will uncover something damning seem very high. Trump has already admitted to firing former FBI Director James Comey over the Russia investigation. Donald Trump Jr. has already admitted to welcoming the opportunity to get dirt on Hillary Clinton from people he believed were representatives of the Russian government. Even if Mueller doesn't accuse anyone of a crime, he's likely to paint a brutal picture. And that's just on the question of election collusion and obstruction of justice. If Mueller uses Russia to segue into Trump's business dealings, who knows what he might find. An all-star team of legal and financial sleuths, with unlimited time and money, and the ability to subpoena documents and people, have been let loose on the affairs of a man whose own autobiographer called him a "sociopath." No wonder Trump is scared.
As pay TV slowly declines, cable news faces a demographic cliff. And nobody has further to fall than the merchant of right-wing outrage.
Updated at 12:05 p.m.
October 7, 2016, will be the 20th birthday of the Fox News Channel, and at the moment, the network is experiencing the soap-operatic highs and lows typical of any teenager on television. In many ways, the summer of 2016 may go down in Fox News history as the company's nadir. Its founder and leader Roger Ailes has been dishonorably dispatched, the remaining executives are dealing with a flurry of sexual harassment lawsuits, and one of its most public faces, Sean Hannity, has ignominiously remodeled himself as a gutless Trump whisperer.
And yet Fox News' fortunes are ascendant, at least in the most quantifiable sense. The network's annual profit in 2015 soared by about 20 percent. For the first time ever, Fox News has been the most-watched cable network among both primetime and daytime viewers for several months, with a larger audience than its nominal rivals, CNN and MSNBC, combined. Led by "The O'Reilly Factor," Fox News doesn't just have the best-rated news show on cable television; according to The Wrap, it has the 13 best-rated news shows on cable television.
There is plenty of reason to be confident that if ISIS could reliably and easily make a dirty bomb, they would do so.
In the last three years, I have not spent much time wondering whether ISIS has access to radioactive material. I know they have had access, because I had a hand in getting it to them.
In 2005, while working for an air cargo company in Mosul, I delivered a large wooden box, marked for consignment to the University of Mosul. To fly it in, we needed a special plane, an Antonov-12, whose cargo hold was cavernous compared to our usual 727s and DC-8s. The box contained, according to its air waybill, radiological imaging equipment for the university's teaching hospital. The next day, workers from the hospital met me at my office, and I gently forklifted the crate into their truck. The load seemed off-balance, and I winced when I heard a corner of the box splinter as we strapped it down. But they drove away, and unless that million-dollar piece of medical equipment fell off the back of the truck and ended up strewn across the road, it probably made it safely to the hospital, where it was captured by ISIS nine years later.
Without insurance, millions of Americans will find themselves in dire financial straits as they struggle to pay for medical services.
Senate Republicans are working to pass legislation scaling back government support for health coverage, with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell calling for a vote on Tuesday to begin debate on a bill whose precise contents remain unknown. "Every Republican running for office promised immediate relief from this disastrous law," President Trump said on Monday, referring to Obamacare. "But so far, Senate Republicans have not done their job in ending the Obamacare nightmare."
Even without more specifics on the details of the legislation, one thing is clear: The options under consideration would increase the number of uninsured by 15 to 30 million over the next 10 years, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated. A consequence of this will be not only a loss of access to medical services, but an increase in financial crises for millions of American families. Insurance, after all, is also a financial product, protecting people from economic ruin.
Republicans are now considering a bill that would only scrap the law's insurance mandates and some taxes as they struggle to round up votes in the Senate.
Senate Republicans may be dramatically scaling back their ambitions for repealing the Affordable Care Act as they struggle to find the votes necessary to pass any legislation dismantling the 2010 law.
Ahead of a crucial procedural vote on Tuesday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told Senator Rand Paul that if the Senate could not pass either McConnell's proposed replacement for Obamacare or a broad repeal of the law, he would try to pass a bill that merely scrapped Obamacare's insurance mandates and some of its taxes. The goal would be to find the lowest-common denominator of what at least 50 Republican senators could report, and it would set up a conference committee with the House on a final health-care bill.
Thirty-one-year-old Ezra Cohen-Watnick holds the intelligence portfolio on the National Security Council—but almost everything about him is a mystery.
Just 24 days into his tenure as Donald Trump's national-security adviser, Michael Flynn was forced to resign, having reportedly misled Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Russian officials. When Flynn departed, the men and women he'd appointed to the National Security Council grew nervous about their own jobs, and with good reason. The new national-security adviser, General H.R. McMaster, promptly began clearing out Flynn's people, among them Dave Cattler, the deputy assistant to the president for regional affairs, Adam Lovinger, a strategic affairs analyst on loan from the Pentagon, and KT McFarland, Flynn's deputy, who was eased out with the ambassadorship to Singapore. Even Steve Bannon, among the most powerful people in the White House, was removed from the meetings of the NSC Principal's Committee, where he had been installed early on in the administration.
Inside the ongoing ethics debate over what professionals can say about the president's mental health
It's not hard to find somebody who's willing to call the president of the United States crazy. "Madman" was, after all, one of the words that cropped up most frequently in coverage about him during the 2016 campaign.
But psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental-health professionals have been especially careful about not speculating about the president's mental state. Well, some of them have been. (It's not like this question has been left unexplored entirely, however, including in the pages of this magazine.)
But, officially, many psychiatrists and psychologists are cautious, and for good reason. Leading professional organizations like the American Psychiatric Association have underscored the importance of upholding what's known as the Goldwater Rule, which says psychiatrists should never give opinions about the mental state of individuals they have not directly evaluated. The name refers to a controversy that erupted after the 1964 presidential election, when Senator Barry Goldwater won a libel suit against a magazine that printed the opinion, shared by about 1,000 psychiatrists, that he was mentally unfit for office.
The legendary jazz musician updates the American anthem for the magazine's first podcast.
The decline of a once-powerful majority is going to have profound implications.
A couple shares their experience.

3 Stocks Rising on Big Volume - views
DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.
>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume recently.
Trex (TREX), manufactures and distributes wood and plastic composite products, and related accessories primarily for residential and commercial decking and railing applications in the U.S. This stock closed up 8.8% to $78.64 in Monday's trading session.
Monday's Volume: 458,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 231,210
Volume % Change: 135%
>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks You Should Love
From a technical perspective, TREX exploded higher here right above its 50-day moving average of $71.30 with strong upside volume. This move briefly pushed shares of TREX into breakout territory, after the stock flirted with some near-term overhead resistance at $79.90. Shares of TREX closed just below that level at $78.64. Market players should now look for a continuation move higher in the short-term if TREX manages to take out Monday's high of $80.09 to some more near-term overhead resistance at $82.50 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TREX as long as it's trending above $75 and then once it sustains a move or close above $80.09 to $82.50 with volume that hits near or above 231,210 shares. If we get that move soon, then TREX will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at its 52-week high of $86.85.
Tech Data
Tech Data (TECD) engages in the wholesale distribution of technology products in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This stock closed up 1.4% to $57.37 in Monday's trading session.
Monday's Volume: 527,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 207,315
Volume % Change: 161%
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar From a technical perspective, TECD jumped modestly higher here with above-average volume. This move is starting to push shares of TECD within range of triggering a big breakout trade. That trade will hit if TECD manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $57.98 to $60 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TECD as long as it's trending above Monday's low of $56.65 or above its 50-day at $54.95 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 207,315 shares. If that breakout kicks off soon, then TECD will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 52-week high at $61.99. UMB Financial
UMB Financial (UMBF), through its subsidiaries, offers various banking and other financial services in the U.S. This stock closed up 2.3% at $65.32 in Monday's trading session.
Monday's Volume: 407,473
Three-Month Average Volume: 167,479
Volume % Change: 146%
>>5 Stock Charts Screaming "Buy" in March
From a technical perspective, UMBF spiked notably higher here and broke out above some near-term overhead resistance at $65 with above-average volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last month, with shares moving higher from its low of $55.95 to its intraday high of $65.42. During that move, shares of UMBF have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. Market players should now look for a continuation move higher in the short-term if UMBF manages to take out Monday's high of $65.42 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in UMBF as long as it's trending above some near-term support at $63 and then once it sustains a move or close above $65.42 with volume that's near or above 167,479 shares. If that move kicks off soon, then UMBF will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 52-week high of $68.27.

normally i try to keep my postings short. but today is different. i need to document this, even if it's just for myself. before I can forget.
but this is also for all of you who don't understand why someone could care so much about sports. like an ex-girlfriend who once told me that she feels like she's competing with Indiana basketball for my time (and I told her she is, but normally twice a week and usually only on Tuesdays and Saturdays). maybe this will help explain it. either that or i'll end up proving that I'm way too obsessed with sports. i'll get back to that later, but first i want to tell you about my weekend:
on Friday night after the cardinals finally wrapped up their first world series in 24 years, i was exhausted. it had been two nerve wracking weeks of watching the birds grind through the playoffs, beating teams they were supposed to lose to. to use benny's words, I think I had "set a two week record for most beers consumed during a work week." when you're so nervous you can hardly breathe, you tend to drink beer faster than you realize.
after the cardinals won the world series i was speechless. exhausted. exhilarated. in disbelief. in shock.
benny looks me dead in the eye and says "you know what you need to do...you need to get in your car right now and drive to st. louis." but i had consumed way too much beer to get behind the wheel of a car.
Saturday morning benny and sheikh try to convince me again to go to st. louis. i called my buddy Tim in STL, the man who single-handedly turned me into a cardinals fan when I moved to St. Louis in 1992, and asked what I should do. there was no hesitation in his voice. get your ass down here now, we'll find a way to get into the rally.
I leave at 1PM, arrive at 5:30PM. after taking Jack (their 9-month old) to the "Boo at the Zoo" and then going to a block party in the Central West End, we drive to a hole-in-the-wall bar within walking distance of home to finish off the night. as I walk in there's a band playing "dead flowers" by the stones. could this weekend get any better? then i look behind the bar...
no matter where you turned in the city was something about the cardinals. even if you hate sports, didn't have a TV, radio, internet access, and refused to read the newspaper, you still knew that the cardinals won the world series. it was EVERYWHERE
we take the train down to the parade. everywhere you look were people decked out in cards gear
but once we got off the train there was nowhere to go.
500,000 people converged downtown to watch the parade.
in st. louis...not exactly a downtown structured to handle that many people at once.
we couldn't get close enough to the parade to actually see it
but we could hear it. half a million people screaming their hearts out
it's a sound i'll never forget
there were people as far as you could see
crammed into every corner they could find. or in this case, every floor of a parking garage
we finally made it into the stadium. the Cardinals had released 50,000 FREE tickets to the rally in the stadium. and we couldn't get our hands on any. thanks to assholes trying to make a buck by reserving free tickets and then turning around and selling them. you could find them on ebay for up to $150 a piece from people in WI, MI, NY, CA, TX...all over the US. we found a set of four for $18.75 a piece. assholes.
for $18.75 we got to see...
the Budweiser Clydesdales bring the World Series Trophy into the stadium. the dalmation was on the sled too.
we got to hear the coach and most of the players talk. i know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but when you watch 140+ regular season games on TV/radio and dedicate over three weeks to watching your team almost every night in the playoffs at the expense of your health and waistline...it was pretty surreal to hear them talking to you. even if you're just a face in the crowd, you were there...
the crowd was amazing
and they capped it off with fireworks.
you couldn't get on a westbound train, so jennifer came up with a simple but brilliant idea. we took the train east three stops and then turned around and came back. poor little st. louis...don't quite have the infrastructure to deal with half a million people trying to ride the metrolink.
at the end of the day we were laying on the couch, exhausted. as we were watching TV, i noticed something in the corner of the screen.
yup, even though we were watching seinfeld, there was a constant reminder of who the 2006 champions of the baseball world are...
so benny and sheikh and timmy...thanks for convincing me to go. most of you probably won't understand why this is so cool. all postseason people laughed in disbelief at how seriously i took these games. even on the AM radio in St. Louis, talkshow hosts were actually making fun of people like me, former St. Louisans and Cardinals fans who were coming into town to be a part of the city-wide celebration. but i finally had some time this weekend to think and to put it into perspective. so for all you out there who just don't get sports, maybe this will help...
it's not just about the game.
it's about having to upgrade to the "unlimited text messaging" package because everyone you know text messages you after every big play in the postseason.
it's about your mom calling you during the game (one of the very few people who is actually allowed to call me during a playoff game) every time Yadier Molina gets another key hit. she's calling to remind you that six weeks ago, as we all sat in the stands at Busch Stadium, she defended Yadi while Timmy and I grumbled about how awful of a hitter he is. Yadi turns out to lead the whole team in hits during the playoffs.
or when your father, over 300 miles away, lays in bed at night and listens to every game on the radio next to his bed. he can't watch it on TV, but he still tunes in and listens to every game on the AM dial, hoping that the cardinals win. not because he's a cardinals fan, but because he wants his son to feel the joy that comes with saying that your team is the champion of the baseball world.
or how the first phonecall you get after the cardinals win the world series is from 700 miles away - the first true friend you ever had growing up. he's calling to remind you that if it wasn't for him, you would have never even played baseball. to reminisce for a minute about all those summer days almost 20 years ago spent playing pickup baseball in the park or whiffleball in the back yard. the whole time pretending we were playing in the world series. and now those dreams have come true, even if it's just vicariously through a group of 25 strangers.
or when your best friends - who are Cubs fans, mind you - actually root for the team they hate more than any other team in the world because they can't bear to see how heart broken you'll be if this magical season comes up short.
the experience is uniquely personal and different for everyone, but that's what it's all about folks. that's why we watch the game.

Please welcome one of our newest faculty members, Dr. Jessica Barnack-Tavlaris, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
This is Dr. Barnack-Tavlaris' first full-time teaching job, after 12 years worth of research experience with a focus on reproductive and sexual health and six years worth of experience as a lecturer and adjunct professor.
Her interest in health psychology stems back to her time as an undergrad at SUNY Fredonia in New York. From there, she went on to receive her masters from Connecticut College before earning her PhD in Experimental Health and Social Psychology from the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, and continued on to conduct postdoctoral research on cancer disparities at San Diego State University and the University of California at San Diego's Comprehensive Cancer Center Partnership.
"I think it's impossible to keep learning about health and ignore the disparities that exist in underserved populations," says Dr. Barnack-Tavlaris. "The more I learn, it becomes so obvious."
Dr. Barnack-Tavlaris is especially interested in the psychological factors that influence sexual behavior, particularly in underserved communities in the United States.
During her time in San Diego, she was able to collaborate with a group of Latina women who worked for the community health organization Por La Vida to develop an HPV educational program for an underserved Latino community within San Diego.
Research shows that HPV, or the human papilloma virus, can cause cervical cancer, and many underprivileged populations experience a disproportionate number of cervical cancer cases. The goal was to better educate members of the community on the possible implications of HPV, so that they would begin to engage in protective behaviors if they could.
Dr. Barnack-Tavlaris' role was to help conduct formative research on the best ways to educate women in the community about this issue, and then work with the Latina leaders on developing the specific curriculum, which will soon be implemented in various community centers in the area that currently participate in cancer education efforts.
While in San Diego, Dr. Barnack-Tavlaris also conducted a separate research endeavor, working with the Samoan and Somali communities there on a photo voice project, in which participants were given cameras and asked to go into the community and take pictures in response to research questions, identifying various environmental and cultural barriers to physical activity in their communities.
Dr. Barnack-Tavlaris hopes to continue research efforts like these, in which she works alongside the members of the community in which she is conducting research, while here at TCNJ.
She also has experience teaching at the college level, serving as a lecturer at UW—Milwaukee while earning her doctorate and an adjunct professor of psychology at both the University of San Diego and National University while completing her postdoctoral fellowship.
"It's most rewarding," she says of teaching, "when I'm mentoring students in research and see them get excited about it, and passionate about the topics."
At TCNJ, says Dr. Barnack-Tavlaris, "through my teaching and research, I want to encourage students to think about all the different factors that influence health behavior, and [for them to] understand and appreciate all the factors that influence health disparities."
She very much enjoys the teaching and mentoring aspects of her work in addition to the research, and believes that students need take a stake in the issue of health disparities, because through dedicated people, our society can change the unfortunate fact that some U.S. communities do not have healthy environments.
"I want to see them develop a passion to continue that type of research," she says, "because I think it's really important, and will become even more important as we see different changes in our health care system over the years."

Underwater Photography
Almost every photographer is thrilled when taking his or her first pictures underwater, whether it's in a swimming pool or in the ocean. The excitement comes not only from the very idea of capturing an underwater scene on camera, but also from being in a completely different environment. It's almost like a whole other world!
Underwater Photography in a Word
If the difficulties encountered in shooting underwater had to be summed up in one word, perhaps the best would be "limitations." Communication and travel below the surface are limited. Natural light and visibility are limited, equipment selection is limited and even time can be limited.
The secret to successful underwater photography comes from how well you overcome those limitations.
The rewards of underwater photography can be great! Since it's a specialized area that relatively few photographers attempt, the opportunities for new and different images are many. People who have little interest in seeing all your other pictures will usually be very eager to see your underwater pictures. There's a novelty aspect to those kinds of photos and we're all fascinated by images we seldom get to see in person. Once you conquer underwater photography, you'll be well on your way to pro status. Have fun!

French Law
Have French Law Questions? Ask an French Lawyer Now.
Hello, What you are going to have to do is make a claim against the hotel. Send them a registered (with signed acknowlegement of receipt - in French " lettre recomandée avec accusé de réception) with your account of the facts, copies of all your expensenses, and a list of your claims. It will not be easy and it can become a very long legal battle. According to what you wrote, it appears that you have a case, if you have evidence. However, I have not seen any of your evidence so I can not say if you have a good case. If the matter is not settled out of court, then you will have to take the matter before a French judge. There will not be a jury trial in France. A French jugde will base his/her decision on your evidence. Depending on the amount you will be seeking, you may need a lawyer.
Evidence can be witness statements, pertinent documents, pictures, videos, receipts, bills, proof of payment, medical statements, etc (list non exhaustive).
You will especially need to prove that the hotel was at fault.
Evidence is very hard to collect and provide to the court in civil court matters. For example, the ; hotel workers may not be willing to write out a witness statement. They may fear being laid off. In French law, no one can not be forced to be a witness.
A French judge could order more information (even an investigation) which could mean forcing the hotel workers to appear in court to answer questions. However this is very rare in French civil cases. The hotel can even withhold information and obstruct justice. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff not the defendant.

Large hotel with large comfortable rooms. A clean and stylish swimming pool and SPA area. Nice mixture of classic and modern art on the walls, giving the visitors with spare time the ability to learn and enjoy. The summer staff seemed to be somewhat inexperienced, and it was sometimes hard to communicate, even for a norwegian.
The spa facilities. Family friendly
Great location, luxurious interior, great buffet breakfast. The room was a bit on the small side.
Staff, staff, staff. Very professional & helpful. Furthermore, the Brasserie served some serious good food.
Close to Downhill slopes. spa and swimming pool facilities excellent ! Reception staff very professional and customer friendly. Insufficient toilet paper stored in bathroom. Breakfast at Buffet not very delicate (experience:out of bacon, old/dry cheese, undelicate fruit). Some of the staff in breakfast area apparantly not too concerned about hygiene when handling food (not wearing gloves when E.g handling bacon). 3-Course dinner ok, but limited food/value for the money paid.
For the price we paid I found it not fair that you still had to pay for the swimmingpool. I realise however thatr his was probably part of the spa pacakage we didn't take.
location Sauna never worked
Room had not been cleaned. Filthy and disgusting.
We stayed at the Thon Hotel Vestlia just before Easter 2010. The location was wonderful. We took the train up which was comfortable and convenient for the hotel who collected us from the station. It was very easy to ski in and out of. The slopes were not overly crowded and there wweren't any queues for the lifts. The hotel was convenient for alpine skiing also. The staff were fantastic:the kitchen catered to our needs being vegetarian and gluten intolerant; and the front desk booked extra activities such as snowscooters. The spa suites were very comfortable and appeared to be newer than another wing of the hotel. . The hotel has two pools. The nicer one in the brochure/website/posters is only for over 16 year olds which wasn't advertised anywhere except when we went to go in with our 12 year old daughter. The other pool was much older, colder, and had no towels for guest use.
the saff wernt kind and wellcome
The view from the room was nice. There was free use of sauna and swimming pool. Very dry air in room. Mattress too soft. No hair dryer. Swimming pool rather small. No towels at swimming pool. Evening meal was set dinner, no possibility to choose. Stale bread for breakfast. Hotel quite far from town centre. We were lured to this hotel because of the swimming pool and sauna but those were disappoining. There are probably better choices closer to the town centre.
Very pleasant hotel, beautiful view, comfortable room. The lady at the reception desk was very nice and helpful! The dining buffet was also good with wide choice. After the abundent dinner we had high expectations but the breakfast was not above standard. It didn't spoil too much because the total experience was a very good one.
I really enjoyed staying in this hotel.I got an apartment with all the possible facilities. The breakfast was good also.
Very good location with a large view on the montains. Air conditionned a bit noisy.
everything went smooth, the staff was very friendly and smiling all the time, the overall atmosphere was very good. The food was brilliant, now after a week we got used to what we would get from the buffet in the evening, maybe a little bit more variation would be good - but keep the smoked salmon! it's a family hotel and in the evening children kept running in the gangways while their parents were at the bar (probably). As we had a room in front of the bar, we heard them all the time, but it didn"t last till the late hours, and it was very bearable. This is really the only minor point we can mention, so it's no big deal at all
Big comfortable room, wonderful view of the mountains. Fair facilities: no minibar, no fan
Very good service, super geilo-overview
Very good hotel, Beautiful location. Price is reasonable.
The evening buffet was excellent with so much to chose from. The receptionist and the gentleman in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful The room was rather small and basic.
The staff was kind and helpfull. For my purpose it was a very good choise.
Nice and comfortable rooms. Good parking facilities. Close to everything in Geilo. Week nights very nice and quiet. Very noisy during saturday evening, a lot of party and drunk youngsters. Fire alarm went off two times during the night, no sleep at all. Not even a single apology from the hotell staff.
Good accomodation and excellent position. Nice pool and sauna, good breakfasts My only concern was with Booking.com, had I not contacted the hotel direct about another matter I would not have discovered they were holding just 1 room instead of 3 despite my having had confirmation from booking.com of 3 rooms. Fortunately this was quickly resolved when I notified booking,com
Easy parking, good food at the on-site al la carte restaurant, Good location if travelling between Oslo and Bergen. As standard in Norway, free internet access. Clean, modern (if basic) facilities. Reception staff helpful Breakfast was very basic and not particularly good quality. As with most hotels in Norway, pricey for what you get. No room safe (although this seems to be norm in Norway). Our room overlooked the main road. As it was summer, the room was quite hot and we wanted the window open - but this meant we had to put up with some road noise. If possible, ask for a room at the back or side when checking in for a better view and less noise.
As advertised, the cafeteria featured regional cuisine. I particularly enjoyed the elk steak. This was the best thing about the hotel. I also liked the reading lights above the bed. The hotel bathroom had no separation between the shower and the toilet. The bed consisted of two mattresses on a single frame, so that my wife and I could not lie comfortably together without one of us on the "crack" between the mattresses.
Family-run traditional Norwegian hospitality and food at its best.
Room was as described with views across the valley to the south. Breakfast has sufficient choice. Cafeteria menu was not extensive, but good value.

Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA) is getting a boost from buyout rumors, sending ARIA stock up 6% in trading.
Online business cites are buzzing on speculation that Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) is considering a buyout upward of $20/share — a big lift considering yesterday's close of $7.60.
The potential acquisition is then valued at about $3.6 billion, with analysts projections for ARIA's 2014 and 2015 revenue estimates at $87.9M and $158.4M, respectively.
Just yesterday, DealReporter reported that Ariad is looking for a partner in Japan for Iclusig, with an announcement perhaps coming soon.
"In addition to actively pursuing distribution agreements for Iclusig in central and eastern Europe, as well as in the Middle East, just as we have done in Australia, we plan to partner Iclusig in Japan and perhaps in other countries in Asia," said CEO Harvey Berger in a call with investors. "We have no timeframe now on when we might announce a partnership, but we consider this decision as an important step in building shareholder value."
The buzz comes about as Ariad is reveling in a recent success, notes the Daily Mail.
As soon as Ariad announced the commercial availability of Ponatinib for adult patients with refractory chronic myeloid leukemia, global pharmaceutical players were all over it.
A partnership or buyout is just what the stock needs right now (via MarketWatch).
Earlier in the week the company reported fourth quarter 2013 loss of 40 cents per share, wider than the year-ago loss of 36 cents per share but narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 46 cents per share. Fourth quarter revenues were $8.4 million, compared to $0.07 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6 million.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals, formerly Azur Pharma Public Limited Company, is a specialty biopharmaceutical company. Last month, JAZZ acquired 98% interest in Gentium, an Italian manufacturer of biotechnology products.
ARIA stock is down some 60% from this time last year.

The UK's University of Sheffield scientists identified that tuning up the activity pathway of the DNA's natural repair toolkit ? which normally helps to restore breakages in genetic material - could help to prevent the death of nerve cells which trigger neurological diseases.

|[en] optics these last years. One of the disadvantages of ion figuring is the high surface temperature of the workpiece. Temperature aspects have already been mentioned by some authors but are weakly detailed. Therefore thermal effects on BK7 and Zerodur, mainly surface figure distortions and surface temperature measurements, have been investigated here in more detail. Distortion of the optical figure due to high temperature and temperature gradients induced by ion figuring is described. High figure distortion has been observed on 10 cm diameter BK7 samples. Distortions can also be observed on Zerodur samples (although much weaker). Differences between BK7 and Zerodur distortions are discussed. In order to analyse the nonuniform heating of the workpiece during ion bombardment, the surface temperature has been monitored with an infrared camera. Furthermore, surface temperature measurements with respect to ion beam parameters have also been performed. All these measurements show the necessity to care about thermal aspects during ion beam figuring for some sensible materials like BK7, but even for low expansion material like Zerodur.

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
The present Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, Thubten Chökyi Gyamtso, was born in 1961 in eastern Bhutan. He was recognized as a tulku by H.H. Sakya Trizin, and received empowerments and teachings from many of the greatest masters of Tibetan Buddhism, including H.H. the 16th Karmapa; H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche and Lama Sonam Zangpo (his paternal and maternal grandfathers); Chatral Rinpoche; Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, Khenpo Appey, and many others. His root guru was Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, who began training Rinpoche from the age of 7.
While still a teenager, Rinpoche built a small retreat center in Ghezing, Sikkim and soon began traveling and teaching around the world. In the 1980s, he began the restoration of Dzongsar Monastery in Derge, the responsibility of which he had inherited from his previous incarnation, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. He established Dzongsar Institute in Bir, India, (now DKCLI in Chauntra), which has grown to be one of the most respected institutions for advanced dialectical study. He also oversees two monasteries in Bhutan and has established dharma centres in Australia, Europe, North America, and Asia. He has written several books and made award-winning films. Rinpoche continuously travels all over the world, practicing and teaching the Dharma.
Read more about Rinpoche on the Siddhartha's Intent web site.
Great Patron SeriesIn 2002, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche began identifying some of the great patrons of Buddhism, from Shakyamuni's own patron, Sudatta Anathapindika to the warlord King Ashoka. Without these patrons, Buddhism would have had little chance to flourish. Click on the images below to learn more.

Aug 4, 2014 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorThe Riverton team did hand regional semifinalst NorthR00;Washington its only loss.
Riverton finished a remarkable summer with a 1-3 record at the Pacific Northwest Regional Babe Ruth baseball 14-year-old tournament in Whitefish and Columbia Falls, Mont.
Idaho beat Riverton, the Wyoming state champion, 13-5 in the final game of pool play on Friday night.
At regionals, Riverton edged North Washington 2-1 in eight innings on Thursday for its only --victory.
Riverton lost to Southern Oregon 15-2 and Montana 11-0.
North Washington and Montana were the top two teams in Riverton's division to make the semifinal round.
Members of the Riverton team this summer were Dalton Baldes, Isaac DeVries, Ridge McCoy, Dillon Fabricus, Brodie Roden, Jaren Draper, Matt Fisher, Kyren Higgs, Cody Frazier, Dalton Lassiter and Payton Rees.
"It was a great experience for a lot of reasons," Riverton manager Mike Fisher said. "These guys needed to see some different teams. They also needed to get out there and see how they match up other teams that were state champions from other states."
Les Wempen and Shane Lassiter were the assistant coaches.
"We didn't have the results that we wanted, but we are still pretty happy about winning a game," Fisher said.
The Riverton team started practicing for the season back in February.
Riverton's traveling team (the Renegades) and the all-star team finished with a combined 36-6-1mark.
"They put a lot of effort into it," Fisher said.
Riverton 2,
North Washington 1
"We played a pretty flawless game, and that is the way we have been playing most of the year," Fisher said.
Baldes and McCoy combined on an eight-inning one-hitter vs North Washington.
"The only run scored by the other team was an unearned run," Fisher said.
Baldes pitched six-plus innings, and McCoy finished things up.
"Dalton did a great job for us," Fisher said. "It was better than we could have hoped for."
Riverton's Matt Fisher scored on a bases-loaded walk to McCoy.
In the top of the eighth, Riverton scored the winning run when Higgs and McCoy had back-to-back doubles.
In the bottom of the eighth, McCoy recorded the last out when he picked off North Washington's runner at first base.
"They were very excited about the win," manager Fisher said. "It was very well played by both teams."
The Riverton game was North Washington's only loss in pool play. The team still advanced to the semifinals with a 3-1 record.
Idaho 13,
Riverton 5
"We came out pretty flat," Fisher said.
Hayden Wempen took the loss for Riverton on the mound.
"Hayden had a great year for us, but he just wasn't his normal self," Fisher said. "Our fielding was not very good either. It was a combination of a lot of things."
Riverton's offense picked up against Idaho.
"It was a pretty good team effort on scoring the runs," Fisher said.
One of the highlights came from McCoy when he stole home to cut the lead to 8-4.
"Their pitcher was going out of the windup," Fisher said.
Idaho quickly scored five runs to knock out Riverton's momentum.

Australian expats and tourists have described the anxious energy in New York as they brace for Hurricane Sandy, with many braving long, tense supermarket queues and preparing to be holed up indoors for days.
The New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has ordered the mandatory evacuation of 375,000 people in low-lying areas of the city and shut down public transport.
Jahnne Pasco-White, 24, and Leah Filley, 25, expats from Melbourne, who are outside the mandatory evacuation zone in Brooklyn, have stocked up on water and candles in preparation for power outages.
"We were both in separate supermarkets this afternoon, just stocking up, and were texting each other about the sights we were witnessing," Ms Filley said.
"Jahnne was in a store where a man was punched and the response was an onslaught of police. There is certainly a kind of heightened energy on the streets."
Ms Filley said the atmosphere in the city had changed as the hurricane has approached.
"In the last couple days everyone was laughing and joking about it all and finding it hard to take seriously after the somewhat anti-climactic event that was Irene last summer.
"However, today there is a slightly different energy. We are all suddenly starting to wonder whether this might not be a little more serious than we had thought.
"We found out that the subways were being shut down tonight [Sunday] and that certainly changed things."
Tweets from @smh/hurricane-sandy-news
Mitch Kidd, originally from Orange in central-western NSW, said there were mixed feelings among residents on the Upper West Side.
I guess we will be staying in our hotel room watching the news instead of our original plans of finding a nice restaurant for dinner.
"Even though most people are laughing off the pending inclement weather, the same people are also standing in the long lines, stocking up at the grocery stores.
"The lines are trailing out onto the footpath by now and the shelves are becoming bare.
"Our doorman has already made preparations to stay in the building for the next two days due to public transportation and bridges being shut down at 6pm and having no way home to New Jersey."
Mr Kidd owns a construction company based in New York and Boston and said it expected to be bombarded with calls about flooded basements and apartments below the street line.
Kay Foss has been evacuated with her family, who moved from Elwood in Victoria to Battery Park City two weeks ago.
"The city is relatively calm and people are going about their business of getting to higher ground.
"We're now staying in a hotel out of the flood zone, but still in Manhattan.
"We have a two-year-old daughter who is taking it in her stride!"
Simon Russell, of Perth, is on holidays in New York and said the streets were a "hive of activity".
"Everyone is buying up water. It's sort of eerie. There are lots of warnings, but people don't seem to be overly panicked yet.
"We just got back to our hotel after going to the football by public transport, only to find out all public transport is closing down in an hour. Luckily we left early.
"I guess we will be staying in our hotel room watching the news instead of our original plans of finding a nice restaurant for dinner."
John Tarjavaara, who left Sydney in 2000, said he is minding a friend's dogs in the West Village outside the evacuation zone.
"It's been a strange day with local kids trick or treating [at] all the restaurants and stores on this block for Halloween. Drug and liquor stores are doing a brisk trade.
"The dogs are acting a bit funny – they keep looking out the back door at my friend's small back yard.
"I was here last year for Hurricane Irene, which was a bit of a fizzer, but according to the media Sandy should cause some major damage."

|Oregon Men Get Wake-Up Call In Second Exhibition Victory
Dana Altman sensed a problem during morning shootaround. Johnathan Loyd did so in pregame warmups.
Entering their second and final exhibition game, Saturday afternoon against Point Loma, the Oregon men's basketball team didn't seem ready to play. The first half of the game, then, went about as expected.
The Ducks were a step slow on defense, giving up five three-pointers in the first 20 minutes. They were sloppy on their own end, shooting 35.3 percent prior to halftime.
Talent — and better execution in the second half — ultimately won out, and Oregon escaped with a 68-52 victory. But the Ducks' quiet demeanor and stern faces told the story as they entered the locker room postgame.
"We played terrible," Loyd said once the Ducks emerged. "Coach bit us a little bit in the locker room."
Oregon played Saturday without projected starters Mike Moser and Damyean Dotson, plus reserve wing Jalil Abdul-Bassit, all due to minor injuries. Dotson and Moser are two of the team's "energy guys," Altman said, and their leadership was missed.
In the halftime locker room, players and coaches alike voiced their displeasure with the 37-35 deficit to the Sea Lions. The Ducks started clicking better on the defensive end, holding Point Loma to 17.2 percent shooting in the second half.
Their own offense never get going, however; Altman said too many guys were trying to create their own shots, resulting in a 36.5 percentage for the game. If the Ducks needed a lesson on running their offense, rather than improvising, they got it.
"Coach is always telling us," Loyd said. "But I guess we needed to see it for ourselves."
Though the senior Moser and the returning starter Dotson were out, the Ducks still had vets to turn to — in a game they never figured they'd need to, albeit. Young made up for overaggressiveness on the defensive end in the first half — he was overcommitting in passing lanes — by scoring 15 points, 10 more than any teammate.
And senior center Waverly Austin, whose erratic play in practices has been a microcosm of the Ducks' preseason so far, put it together with 16 points and 12 rebounds. The offensive production might have been expected due to his size advantage, but the rebounds were a welcome sight for a UO team looking to overcome the absence of Arsalan Kazemi.
"We've got to have somebody going to get the ball," Altman said.
Added Loyd: "He's very important, to hold down the middle and be the anchor. We're going to depend on him a lot this year."
As is becoming increasingly evident, the Ducks will rely on Young, too. The Houston transfer and senior Jason Calliste each scored 20 in the opener; Calliste opened Saturday's game with a three-pointer but finished with eight points, while Young hit for 21.
"I was just knocking down shots that were open," Young said. "But the main focus is, I need to pick it up on defense."
Altman said after the game he anticipates Moser, Dotson and Abdul-Bassit being ready to go in Friday's regular season opener, against Georgetown in South Korea. A bigger need might be in the next couple of practices, as the Ducks look to establish some chemistry on both ends prior to the game.
"It's a new group," Altman said. "We're going to go through some ups and downs with them. We recognize that."
But the newness of the roster, and the absences Saturday, weren't being used as excuses.
"Stuff happens during the season," Loyd said. "People get hurt, people can't play. You've got to run with what you've got. We're all D-I basketball players, we all can play the game. We've got to step up."
That's the lesson to take from Saturday's close call to an overmatched opponent.
"This is a learning game," Young said. "Us being a new team, this helps a lot. We can't come out slacking."
"It's not that they're not working hard," Altman said. "But our attention to detail, our focus, is not what it needs to be. There's not that sense of urgency, to get ready for a big game. Hopefully that changes this week."

TRIPOLI – Gunmen kidnapped the daughter of Libya's former spy chief Abduallah el-Senoussi as she left a Tripoli prison after serving out a sentence, Justice Minister Salah al-Marghani said Tuesday.
El-Senoussi was the intelligence chief for Libya's longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi, and his daughter, Unud, had completed a 10-month prison term when she was snatched Monday.
"Turban-wearing armed men in five vehicles attacked the convoy that was accompanying Unud el-Senoussi as she left prison and kidnapped her," al-Marghani said.
He added that the convoy had been due to take el-Senoussi's daughter, in her early 20s, to the airport to join her family when the attack took place outside Ain Zara prison in the Tripoli suburbs.

walesa tells them he has no respect for their elite approach and says now is the time for someone to take some real action.
"I said that I wished the United States would lead," walesa told Polish television.
In London to promote walesa: Man of Hope, a new biopic, he was on the warpath.
Like pretty much everyone else in Poland over the age of 30, Wieckiewicz grew up in awe of walesa.
One man who knows exactly how tough walesa can be is the Polish actor who was chosen to play him in the film.

We have heard much ill-informed opinion about the proposed shoot-to-kill powers, most of it based on a wilful ignorance of the ironclad checks and balances provided to protect the public. These measures are designed to safeguard and maintain our enviable national lifestyle, and to ensure that the law-abiding majority can enjoy productive working lives without fear of being gunned down.
The legislation is clear. Employers are only permitted to gun down employees in the most exceptional circumstances. Provocation is no defence under the law, nor is a personal dislike of an employee's ethnic background or gender. Wage earners can be assured that being five minutes late for work will not incur the ultimate penalty, nor will any other violation that can be contained by the use of capsicum spray.
Shooting-to-kill can only be sanctioned when the employee is too feeble to be of economic value, a condition that must be certified by an approved medical practitioner. Even then, the employer is obliged to give the target at least a full minute's head start before pulling the trigger, which humanely provides the employee with a final opportunity to demonstrate his mobility.
As the use of automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades is proscribed by law, employers are encouraged to improve their aim at a government-approved target range to guarantee a clean kill.
Though physical torture in the workplace is also specifically prohibited, management is empowered to use approved motivational techniques to spur underproductive workers. Sleep deprivation is a proven non-violent approach that can be readily facilitated by changing the worker's shift weekly, or by placing a surveillance camera above his desk. Team-building exercises, especially those conducted by evangelical US experts, are guaranteed to break the spirits of recalcitrant employees. Should gentler techniques fail, employers are advised to render their most troublesome workers to Egypt, where negotiators provided with the latest technology are keen to demonstrate their people skills.
It is expected that the turnover rate of workers exposed to these new, fairer measures will increase exponentially, thus providing a wealth of job opportunities for the truly motivated. And those who don't like the new, fairer workplace have the guaranteed freedom to go somewhere else.
