The HONEY-POT TRAP.

The HONEY-POT trap was a well-known tactic of Communist Russia.

Doctors are also at risk as perceived high earners. When travelling to Conferences always insist in advance that the hotel provide TWO housekeepers when cleaning rooms. If the hotel cannot agree then choose another hotel.

As is evident, an accusation could be lethal to a career and one's health.

A problem is that SOFITEL NY is owned by a Private Equity Group and not by a HOTELIER. The Group licences the SOFITEL Brand.

- Brazil (Alto Floresta, Mato Grosso state). 12 May 2011. Suspected
dengue cases now total 173 between January and April [2011], a
reduction of approximately 47 per cent in relation to last year
[2010], when there were 325. Nevertheless, the Department of
Environmental Surveillance does not discard the possibility of an
epidemic due to the high prevalence of mosquito infestation in
different parts of the city, such as the Setor Norte 3, with [an
_Aedes aegypti_ household index of] 4.08 per cent.

MEDICAL CONFERENCES: TORONTO safer than New York.

TORONTO safer location than New York for medical conferences.

Judge Melissa JACKSON's decision to jail 62y.Head of IMF before a trial is a warning to all doctors to avoid the simplistic NY Legal system.

$3,000/night suite in the NY SOFITEL to the 14,000 inmate prison at "concentration camp-like" RIKER'S ISLAND could cause mental and physical illness.
