Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity.

Measuring the Mind: A Comparison of Personality Testing to Polygraph Testing in the Hiring Process Jennifer Leonard Nevins* I. Introduction Since the hiring boom of the late 1990s, human resource professionals have referred to the challenges of recruiting and retaining valuable employees as the "war for talent."' The war for talent continues in the twenty-first century, as more than ever, employers seek to maximize employee production while minimizing hiring and training costs.' Accordingly, employers looking for an edge in the hiring process are increasingly using psychological testing as a tool for making employment decisions.3 One category of psychological testing used * J.D. Candidate, The Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University, 2005; B.A., summa cum laude, University of Maryland, 1999. 1.

It was agreed that issue of the lack of communication would be addressed by Highways England (HE). The Chair stated that if there had been earlier consultation with the Parish Council then perhaps some of the issues raised could have been taken into account before work commenced. It was agreed that HE would supply details of future works planned on this section of the A628 together with costs. Safety issues regarding the planned work to reduce the number of road lanes were raised since this has the potential to create a backlog of traffic at the Dog & Partridge, while the installation of “splitter islands” has raised serious concerns for walkers using them.

Musto Abstract The question of judicial attitudes toward the admissibility of polygraph examinations was examined within the State of Illinois. Sixty-five of 225 circuit court judges in that state responded to a mailed questionnaire. The results of the survey indicated that those judges having actual experience with the polygraph, as measured by exposure to stipulated evidence and by use of a polygraph exami­ nation in particular cases, favored the admission of this form of evidence. In 1923, the United States Court of Appeals in Frye ~ United States refused admission of a detection of deception examiner's testimony regarding the results of a systolic blood pressure test. Upon appeal, that ruling was affirmed. The courts stated that the deception test (The Marston Blood Pres­ sure Deception Test) was in the experimental stages and was not generally ~ccepted by physiological and psychological authorities.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

  • Selling the Psychological Detective Hugo Münsterberg’S Applied Psychology and the Achievements of Luther Trant, 1907–30
    The Lying Brain: Lie Detection in Science and Science Fiction Melissa M. Littlefield The University of Michigan Press, 2011 http://press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=3091709 1 Selling the Psychological Detective Hugo Münsterberg’s Applied Psychology and The Achievements of Luther Trant, 1907–30 In his 1908 collection of essays, On the Witness Stand: Essays on Psychology and Crime, Hugo Münsterberg expounds upon one of the principles that would inform lie detection for the next century: “the hidden feeling betrays itself” (113).1 It may be easy to suppress intentionally the conspicuous movements by which we usually accentuate the emotions. It is not necessary to be- come wild with anger and to collapse in sorrow, we may even inhibit laughter and tears. But the lips and hands and arms and legs, which are under our control, are never the only witnesses to the drama which goes on inside—if they keep silent, others will speak. The poets know it well. (114) Münsterberg, a German émigré, student of Wilhelm Wundt, and founder of American applied psychology, believed that emotions exceed our conscious control; that they affect not only our psychology, but also our physiology; and that they could, therefore, be measured and made legibly useful to other ‹elds, including law enforcement and courts of law. In the same revelatory breath that explains his primary principle, Münsterberg commends not the scientists that came before him, but the poets, those authors who represent subtle signs of emotion in the bodies of their characters: “There is hardly a tragedy of Shakespeare in which the involuntary signs of secret excitement do not play their role.

  • Ackworth Old Scholars' Association
    Ackworth Old Scholars’ Association One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Annual Report 2016 THIS YEAR’S PRESIDENT - NICHOLAS SEED Nick was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in May 1954 to Quaker parents Mary and John Seed. Mary (née Cordingly), having been at Ackworth herself (1936-1942), had always hoped to be able to send her children there also. So it was a very proud day for them both when Nick, the eldest of 6 children, started at Ackworth in September 1965. Nick enjoyed his 6 years at Ackworth. His particular interests were swimming, natural history and model aircraft making. He was the swimming team captain and enjoyed hockey. Whilst at Ackworth, Nick was joined by two of his sisters, where he saw part of his job as older brother to help settle them in to school life. Nick left Ackworth in 1971 and became involved with the Ackworth Old Scholars Association; he attends the Easter Gathering on a regular basis. Unsure of which career path to follow, Nick saw an advert in ‘The Friend’ that led him to start work as a House Father at the Royal School for the Deaf in Derby. Settling in Derby, Nick began a life long career in the National Health Service; he began as a psychiatric nurse and progressed through general nursing to become a senior nurse. He then moved into management, managing the surgical directorate for 12 years and finished his career in 2014 responsible for the commissioning of a new super hospital in Derby. One of Nick’s favourite holiday destinations is St David’s in Pembrokeshire, where he met Debbi who was to become his wife in 1979.
