What Employees Need to Know About Title VII of the Civil RIghts Act | Justia

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that protects employees against discrimination based on certain specified characteristics: race, color, national origin, sex, and religion. Under Title VII, an employer may not discriminate with regard to any term, condition, or privilege of employment. Areas that may give rise to violations include recruiting, hiring, promoting, transferring, training, disciplining, discharging, assigning work, measuring performance, or providing benefits. 

Title VII applies to employers in both the private and public sectors that have 15 or more employees. It also applies to the federal government, employment agencies, and labor organizations. Title VII is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

This protective measure significantly reduces the number of infections. Other mitigation measures, such as social distancing implemented in the United States, are insufficient by themselves in protecting the public

Agencies Spending Millions on 'Crossbow' Spy Tech, an Upgraded Stingray - VICE

Crossbow is an IMSI-catcher, a device that pretends to be a cellphone tower and tricks phones into connecting to it. From here, the device can capture a SIM card's unique identifier—the IMSI—and some models can intercept text messages and phone calls. It can also be used to track the physical location of a device, and by extension, its owner.

The Spy Who Came Home | The New Yorker

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/05/07/the-spy-who-came-home

neighborhood gang violence, which accounts for most of the shootings in Savannah, is driven not only by small-group dynamics, the availability of weapons, and obsessions with vendettas but also by alienation from authorities. "It's a fundamental break in the social contract," he said. "If you're in trouble, you have to take care of it yourself, because you can't ask the police for help. So that becomes another shooting." In high-crime areas, he continued, "the networks of perpetrators are essentially the same as the networks of victims."
