\nJapan’s 1984: Japanese authorities have introduced American-style immigration law. Foreigners will have to be fingerprinted and photographed evey time they enter the country – a law that some regard as Orwellian. (Report: N. Tourret)<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, it has information on fingerprinting, of course…<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.transpacificradio.com\/2007\/11\/22\/debitoorg-newsletter-for-november-19-2007\/<\/a><\/p>\n Also, to people who have written me emails recently–they’re piling up in my in-tray at the moment, sorry. I will get to them when I have some time (and also translate a couple of favorable articles on the FP issue from the Hokkaido Shinbun), but I’ve got two speeches I’ve gotta work on coming up this weekend at JALT Tokyo, regarding job searches for their Job Information Center:<\/p>\n ========================== * Saturday, 4:10 pm – 5:10 pm, Room 102 Japanese academia is in crisis. Although demand for language education is not in jeopardy, the number of secure jobs for both Japanese and non-Japanese is shrinking, as contracted work replaces tenure. The times require job searches with eyes wide open. This workshop will give some advice on how to avoid the potentially lousy jobs, some job-condition benchmarks, and some things to ask your potential employer before taking a job that could have no secure future. Perhaps see you there.
