TEL AVIV (Reuters) - European powers are trying to develop better means for pre-emptively spotting "lone-wolf" militants from their online activities and are looking to Israeli-developed technologies, a senior EU security official said on Tuesday.

Last week's truck rampage in France and Monday's axe attack aboard a train in Germany have raised European concern about self-radicalized assailants who have little or no communications with militant groups that could be intercepted by spy agencies. Читать дальше...

The bus was carrying 24 tourists on an eight-day tour organized by a travel agency in China's northeastern province of Liaoning, authorities said in a statement. The driver and the tour guide, both from Taiwan, were also killed.

It's hard to ask for money.

With the exception of those of us who are absolutely convinced of their own worth (congrats), negotiating a salary or a raise can be a stressful, fraught situation. If your boss says no, then what? What does that say about you?

If this sounds familiar, you're thinking about it all wrong.

On Quora, As Seen on TV CEO Ron Rule makes a simple statement that smoothes over the bumps and slights of asking for... Читать дальше...

Over the years I've destroyed a few workplace relationships without even realizing it. There are a few words and phrases that we're programmed to say on a day to day basis that prevent us from having strong relationships with our coworkers.

The average American spends 8.9 hours working per workday. Some of us entrepreneurs spend upwards of 12 hours.

Because of that, it's only natural that you would want to be as comfortable as possible at your workplace. And... Читать дальше...

There seems to have been one constant source of hope for the US economy over the past year: the US consumer.

Even as the stock market was falling, the UK was exiting, and corporate earnings kept disappointing, the US consumer has shown a resiliency that has buoyed the hopes of many economists.

According to the Macquarie consumer equities team, recent trends have highlighted that not only is the American consumer looking strong, but there are good reasons to believe that the outlook will only improve. Читать дальше...

In a last-ditch effort to revive a White House plan to protect up to 4 million immigrants from deportation, the Obama administration on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to rehear a case on which the eight-member court was split 4-4 last month.

The June 23 high court decision left in place a lower court ruling that blocked the plan, which has never been in effect. The court is currently one justice short following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February. Читать дальше...

Your interview doesn't start when you shake hands with your interviewer — it starts as soon as you walk through the front door.

Unfortunately, job seekers often forget that they should be on their best behavior from the get go, and this could wind up costing them the job.

It's imperative to think before you speak, even when you think no one involved in the hiring decision is listening. Because the truth is, receptionists are often the first set of eyes and ears a company has... Читать дальше...

CLEVELAND — Sen. Chuck Grassley agrees with former Texas Gov. Rick Perry: Donald Trump's wall will, at least in part, be "virtual."

"I would use the wall and I would describe the wall with three parts and remember that a physical wall across the Southern border will not be a physical wall in every place," he told reporters at a Cleveland restaurant Tuesday. "Some places will be a virtual wall."

Grassley said drones, other electronics, and increased border patrol will be part of the solution. Читать дальше...

Gypsy moth caterpillars have taken a serious bite out of the forests of New England this summer — in fact, their destruction is so severe, it is visible from space. 

Aerial photos taken May 25 and June 26 from the NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites show just how much defoliation these furry caterpillars caused in just one month's time. 

The healthy forests appear green in these satellite images, whereas the gray-brown tinted regions are the parts of the forest that have been munched on by these hungry critters. Читать дальше...

There’s no more unfortunate name in the annals of military history than King Pyrrhus of Epirus whose lands were on the west coast of the Hellenic Peninsula, in modern-day Greece. While he famously won a string of battles against Rome and Carthage in 281 BC, he took horrendous casualties, sometimes as high as 15,000.

After one of his costly victories, Pyrrhus famously declared, “One more victory like that and we’re finished.”

Thus the term “Pyrrhic Victory” was born... Читать дальше...

CLEVELAND — Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa told reporters Tuesday that Melania Trump "didn't plagiarize" first lady Michelle Obama's 2008 speech from the Democratic National Convention.

"She didn't plagiarize," the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said of Trump's Monday night speech at the Republican National Convention. "Because I think you gave a definition of plagiarism. What you're saying is that I could say the same thing that Mrs. Obama said because I... Читать дальше...

Tina Hay doesn't think in numbers.

In 2002, enrolled in a finance class while pursuing her MBA from Harvard Business School, she realized that her classmates who came from the world of banking and consulting were acing the coursework without a problem, while she struggled to master the concepts foreign to her liberal arts background.

So, she started to draw.

"I think more visually," Hay told Business Insider. "I've always put numbers into illustrations and understood them that way... Читать дальше...

The world of sports is confusing, and few people know that better than Sacramento Kings star center DeMarcus Cousins. 

According to NBC Sports, Cousins is confused about the moves the Kings made this offseason, a shot that sounds a lot like a lack of confidence in his team's front office.

"I don’t really understand what’s going on," Cousins told the media. "I just control what I can control; I let them do their jobs."

Tiffany has been struggling.

The company has reported multiple quarters of slipping sales.  In its most recent quarter, worldwide sales dipped 7%, and comparable sales dropped 9%. Before that, the  fourth quarter was marred by a poor gifting season.

One of its central problems is that it young consumers demand newness, as they have been conditioned to the speed of fast fashion, as Edward Jones analyst Brian Yarborough told Business Insider in May.

Goldman Sachs has cut its headcount by 5% since the first quarter, to about 34,800 people.

On a call following the firm's second-quarter earnings results, CFO Harvey Schwartz provided a little more detail about those job cuts.

First of all, he said, the process started back in February. He noted that it's not unusual for the firm to cull the bottom 5% of performers across the board each year, but the exact number can vary by business.

On the one hand, it makes perfect sense why the Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank would want to buy ARM Holdings, the chip designer that pretty much owns the mobile market.

SoftBank offered £17 a share in cash for ARM (about $32 billion). That was 43% more than ARM's closing share price on Friday and 41% more than ARM's all-time-high closing share price. This could be the largest-ever tech acquisition of a European company.

ARM helped propel the mobile device market forward... Читать дальше...

Former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Tuesday morning that current campaign chairman Paul Manafort should "do the right thing" and "resign" if he personally signed off on Melania Trump's primetime convention speech.

Portions of Melania's speech, billed as the highlight of the first night of the GOP convention, were found to have been lifted from Michelle Obama's 2008 Democratic convention speech.

Lewandowski said on CNN that the Trump campaign was... Читать дальше...
