Harassment is a form of employment discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, (ADA).

Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy), national origin, older age (beginning at age 40), disability, or genetic information (including family medical history). Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. Anti-discrimination laws also prohibit harassment against individuals in retaliation for filing a discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or lawsuit under these laws; or opposing employment practices that they reasonably believe discriminate against individuals, in violation of these laws.

Petty slights, annoyances, and isolated incidents (unless extremely serious) will not rise to the level of illegality. To be unlawful, the conduct must create a work environment that would be intimidating, hostile, or offensive to reasonable people.

Offensive conduct may include, but is not limited to, offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name calling, physical assaults or threats, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, offensive objects or pictures, and interference with work performance. Harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:

Prevention is the best tool to eliminate harassment in the workplace. Employers are encouraged to take appropriate steps to prevent and correct unlawful harassment. They should clearly communicate to employees that unwelcome harassing conduct will not be tolerated. They can do this by establishing an effective complaint or grievance process, providing anti-harassment training to their managers and employees, and taking immediate and appropriate action when an employee complains. Employers should strive to create an environment in which employees feel free to raise concerns and are confident that those concerns will be addressed.

Employees are encouraged to inform the harasser directly that the conduct is unwelcome and must stop. Employees should also report harassment to management at an early stage to prevent its escalation.

The employer is automatically liable for harassment by a supervisor that results in a negative employment action such as termination, failure to promote or hire, and loss of wages. If the supervisor's harassment results in a hostile work environment, the employer can avoid liability only if it can prove that: 1) it reasonably tried to prevent and promptly correct the harassing behavior; and 2) the employee unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer.

The employer will be liable for harassment by non-supervisory employees or non-employees over whom it has control (e.g., independent contractors or customers on the premises), if it knew, or should have known about the harassment and failed to take prompt and appropriate corrective action.

When investigating allegations of harassment, the EEOC looks at the entire record: including the nature of the conduct, and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred. A determination of whether harassment is severe or pervasive enough to be illegal is made on a case-by-case basis.

It was from the dead body of my neighbour sometime in December 2016 that I was able to read that my country was undergoing a violent transition, paving the way for the return to power of the Marcoses. Blood was splattered on the same asphalt road that I used to tread every day, going to the market to buy my provisions, or walking to get my bus from the main road. The remains of what was once life were covered with blankets. His fingers were cold and stiff, like roots of ginger protruding oddly from the cover, as if trying to remind the neighbourhood of how to read his death: We are at war, I am the enemy. You could be collateral damage, anytime, soon. Take heed. It was at this moment that I realised that the popular, massive, nationwide project of creating and recreating a monolithic Filipino civic nationalist identity formation was moving closer and closer to my own body.

In 2020, early in the Covid-19 pandemic, I was working for a charity providing services to Filipino migrants in London. Lockdown revealed the horrifying realities of the lives of migrants in the UK: undocumented migrants, who had no recourse to public funds, were thrown into poverty, unable to access medical services, while Filipino nurses were dying in British hospitals. At the height of the pandemic, the charity was counting the dead bodies of Filipinos who had died from the virus. We reached out to the community here in the UK, and to families back in the Philippines. Funds were raised to help those migrants who were unable to work and feed themselves.

The counting of dead black and brown migrant bodies was part of the of the process of nation-building. Migrant bodies in the UK have become a cultural marker, continuously legitimising a monolithic British civic nationalist identity formation that has the tendency to refuse negotiation. I wonder: how many black and brown migrant bodies do you still need to reinforce a British civic nationalist identity?

Creating a theatrical counter-language to the hostile environment should go beyond a revelation of the existing process through textual reproduction on stage; it is also a set of demands, a clear position against border violence, and an attempt to recapture the reading and consumption of various meanings that could be derived from brown and black migrant bodies occupying a space in the British imagination of a nation. It is a textual performance premised on resistance.

Hey everyone, I've gotten back into Minecraft (1.13), and I've been enjoying Peaceful for a change; the world and my builds are so much prettier when they're ambiently lit. Torches are ugly. I'd like hostile mob spawns though, but I don't want them spawning in my castle or in my little towns. Is there any way using command blocks or plugins (no mods) to prevent spawns in specific areas?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I'd actually found this super late last night, but the issue I ran into then became that not only were they spawning out of control and dying just as fast, the dropped items were building up so fast and causing so much lag that this method just isn't viable for an already established and messy world full of builds... I didn't think of the teleporting idea though... But, in case you (or anyone else browsing) is still curious, I found a really obscure plugin for 1.11 that seems to be working 100% for 1.13 called "Mob Repellent". It creates a 50-block safe-zone around a small built structure. It's working really well!

January 2013 and I am sitting in the back of a Toyota Prada on the outskirts of ill-famed Cit Soleil in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which is regarded as one of the poorest and most dangerous slums in the Western Hemisphere.

After about half an hour later it became clear that the location we were looking for was not in Cit Soleil. After numerous phone calls, it was confirmed the site was a few miles outside the slum in greener pastures. This is a perfect illustration for the necessity of advance security procedures. This client set himself apart from many others by spending a few extra dollars and getting things done in advance, properly thus avoiding any potential issues.

Over the 24 year span of my career, I have seen little need for evasive driver training but I have seen the need for people to learn how to handle vehicles at high speed and in hazardous weather conditions.

Another important thing to consider when working with vehicles is the type of ammo you carry in your pistols; if you have the choice full metal jacket rounds could be a better option versus hollow points as they penetrate better through windscreens windshields and doors etc. A good example of HP rounds not penetrating enough happened to a close friend and associate of mine in 2010 when he was robbed and carjacked by two wanted armed criminals on the Caribbean island where he lives. He did a good job and managed to deploy his 9mm Sig-Pro that the criminals failed to find when they frisked him. The shooting started when the attackers tried to make their getaway in his truck. The end result was that one of them died and the other survived even though critically wounded. The reason one survived was that he was shielded from the police recommended 124-grain hollow point rounds my associate was shooting by the frame of the car and the seats. The rounds went through the frame and hit him several times in the head, but without enough power to penetrate the skull and kill him. I believe that if my associate had mixed in a few full metal jacketed rounds in his magazines there would have been two dead criminals that day.

Now think like the criminals, if you knew your target was driving around in an SUV armored to B6 level are you going to shoot at them when they are in route or wait for them stop and get out of the vehicle or stop them and make them get out of their vehicle? Think about how can you get someone out of a car; what would you do if a female driver bumped into the back of your car? Would you get out to inspect the damage and thus possibly be kidnapped by her two armed accomplices crouched in the back seat of her car? Always be aware of decoys that are intended to make you stop and get out of your vehicle such as accidents or even bodies next to the road. Basic rule: stay in your car and keep moving between safe areas.
