First, we learned to say and spell the puppets name: Armadinejad. Not exactly Smith. Then we watched him perform upon a crafty mullahs knee. We have been patient, like any fair-minded audience, but the more we listen, the more we realize that the puppet has a script that just doesnt make sense.

He raises one hand and, without the mullah appearing to move his own lips, practiced ventriloquist that he is, little Armadinejad threatens to wipe Israel off the map and blusters against anyone in the audience we disagrees with his absurdly unachievable goal. No sooner does he do that than he raises his other hand and announces that he has the right to nuclear technology but only for peaceful purposes.

The audience is finally beginning to lose patience with the nonsensical but dangerous show. Some members of the audience have become so alarmed that theyre stamping their feet and demanding a new script. A few have even said if they dont get one they may decide to knock down the little puppets playhouse.

Poor little Armadinejad. We certainly wouldnt want such a tragic thing to happen to him and just because he hasnt been given a good

Everyday behaviors such as using your laptop at the airport or conducting a business call while walking down a crowded street can jeopardize your company’s information.

“Most corporate intelligence losses aren’t a result of high-tech crime,” says Ira Winkler, president of the Internet Security Advisors Group and author of “Spies Among Us: How to Stop the Spies, Terrorists, Hackers, and Criminals You Don’t Even Know You Encounter Every Day.” “They’re the result of human errors or system loopholes that can be remedied easily and cost-effectively.”

Yet many small- and mid-sized companies remain vulnerable because they don’t believe they’re at risk. According to the Small Business Technology Institute, more than half of all small businesses in the U.S.-or as many as 13 million-experienced a security breach in the past year due to insufficient virus protection, employee manipulation (also called social engineering) or everyday behaviors that disclose business strategies unintentionally.

That’s why Winkler teamed up with Office Depot to create a downloadable brochure, called “Compromising Behaviors: Don’t Leave Your Business Exposed,” with simple, affordable recommendations for protecting corporate information. Among the highlights:

If youve spent any time at all browsing through forums on teaching English in Japan, youve probably run across more than a few horror stories. Topics range from working hours and conditions way in excess of whats in the contract, to horrible living conditions and exorbitant rent. Some of this is avoidable if you take a careful look at your contract and ask the right questions before you take a teaching position. One of the most important part of the contract are the contact hours. Well look at this first.

Contact Hours What They Are
Contact hours are actual hours spent teaching or being in contact with the student. The industry standard for full-time sponsored ESL instructors is 22-27 per week. They are not the same qualitatively as office hours. You cant get up and get a glass of water, chat with a friend at the water cooler or check your e-mail during contact hoursthough you can during regular office hours at most regular jobs.
The point is — if you directly compare office hours and teaching contact hours, youre comparing apples to oranges. 45 contact hours will grind you into the dirt in no time (in addition to being
