This sermon deals with a common and often under-emphasized abuse - Gossip. In this sermon I suggest that gossip is tool by which Satan twists our God-given impulses to build intimacy and share good news and distorts them into a sharing of news not worth sharing at the expense of others. It builds a fragile intimacy and does great harm to the Body of Christ.
Toxic Workplace: High School at the OfficeSusan Nicholas
As business people, it is practically inevitable that at one time or another in our careers, we will be the subject of or somehow involved in negative office gossip.
Gossip is like a toxic mold. It permeates the air and you breathe it in, ingest it. It damages your professional — and maybe even personal — health. It creates animosity, distrust and it's unproductive. It’s been one of the biggest morale killers in any company I’ve worked.

Slides: Epidemiological Modeling of News and Rumors on TwitterParang Saraf
Abstract: Characterizing information diffusion on social platforms like Twitter enables us to understand the properties of underlying media and model communication patterns. As Twitter gains in popularity, it has also become a venue to broadcast rumors and misinformation. We use epidemiological models to characterize information cascades in twitter resulting from both news and rumors. Specifically, we use the SEIZ enhanced epidemic model that explicitly recognizes skeptics to characterize eight events across the world and spanning a range of event types. We demonstrate that our approach is accurate at capturing diffusion in these events. Our approach can be fruitfully combined with other strategies that use content modeling and graph theoretic features to detect (and possibly disrupt) rumors.
