Au pair looking for work

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin M ar-a-Lago, former president Donald Trump’s private club-cum-legal residence at the center of an investigation into his handling of classified government documents, has relied on temporary foreign workers to keep the sprawling estate humming. Last year, the Trump Organization sought 87 foreign workers for the Palm Beach property, up from 78 a few years earlier. It’s not clear how many were hired but no doubt at least some likely had backstage access to political theater (maybe even scraps of presidential records floating in toilets ). On Monday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided Mar-a-Lago, with one of Trump’s attorneys confirming the agency’s search related to an investigation into his handling of classified documents. This year, as the labor market is even tighter, with just 2.8% unemployment, Mar-a-Lago is looking to bring on 91 temporary foreign workers . (That previously unreported number … [Read more...] about Mar-A-Lago Is Looking To Hire 91 Foreign Workers This Year

Most professionals spend at least 40 hours a week (more or less) working towards being better and getting further in their careers. With the concept of work-life balance gaining traction, especially among Millennials entering the work force, there have to be ways to spend time away from the office while still bettering your skill set. I have five incredibly simple cheats that help me use my free time to my advantage--without spending my weekends in the office or cranking out emails: 1. Take a splurge day. It may seem obvious. Take a splurge day, do whatever the hell makes you happy, for an entire day. Sometimes I use my splurge day to eat all of my favorite meals. Once, after a particularly grueling travel schedule, I used my splurge day to sleep for 30 hours. Whatever you feel like your body needs to recharge and re-energize--do that. And take it one step further. Unplug for the day. Resist the urge to catalogue your entire day on social media, or sneak a … [Read more...] about 5 Things the Smartest People Do After Work (No, It’s Not Checking Emails)

The pandemic almost killed the open office plan . Immersive sound wants to save it. In an attempt to make open offices more attractive--once employees do come back--some office design companies are toying with immersive sound. Certain sounds, or tonalities, that incorporate a range of biophilic notes (which may stem from nature, like gentle ocean waves or the rhythm of soft rain drops) can evoke emotions, warm feelings, and may even drive productivity . They're betting both companies and employees will like the sound of their pitch. One immersive sound offering, dubbed Made Music Journey, is the product of a partnership between Made Music Studio, a global sound studio based in New York City, and Spatial, an Emeryville, California, audio software platform. The duo announced the partnership last November, and have since been signing up unknown numbers of companies--which means some office workers will be greeted with immersive sonic experiences upon their return to the … [Read more...] about What Will the Office of the Future Sound Like?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin If you are feeling a little too hot at work (in a temperature and not a sexiness sense), should you just lay on the floor on your belly and spread out your arms and legs? After all, that’s what many squirrels seem to be doing these days. With temperatures at the too freaking hot levels in recent week, squirrels and other animals have been doing a lot of “splooting” to beat the heat. Now, you may be wondering whether “splooting” is a made-up word because spell-check recommends using “looting” instead. But “looting” at work would be very different from “splooting” there, and the New York City (NYC) Department of Parks & Recreation defined “splooting” as “stretching out” on “cool surfaces to reduce body heat” on a tweet on Tuesday: As you can see in the tweet, another word for splooting is “heat dumping,” which I described for Forbes about a year ago . By stretching yourself out, you are trying to maximize the … [Read more...] about Can Splooting Help Beat The Heat? Here’s Why Squirrels Are Heat Dumping

For decades, traditional cameras worked very much like the human eye: the cornea served as the lens cover, the iris and pupil became the aperture, and the lens became, well, the camera lens. But human vision has its limits, so the next generation of camera makers may have to look a little further for inspiration. advertisement advertisement Scientists have developed an artificial eye inspired by the fiddler crab (the crab with the single huge claw ). Compared to a pair of human eyes, which together can see about 180 degrees, the fiddler crab has an almost 360-degree field of view. It also can see on both land and water. When translated into a machine, this could mean more versatile cameras for self-driving cars and drones, both of which can become untrustworthy in the rain. Nature Electronics and developed by a team of researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Gwangju Institute of Science and … [Read more...] about MIT scientists have developed a new kind of camera—from a crab

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin On Sunday July 31 at Wembley Stadium, Jill Scott became the most decorated international player in the history of the English game. By finally winning a gold medal with her country at the UEFA Women's Euro, Scott added to the silver she won at the 2009 Euro and the bronze she collected at the 2015 Women's World Cup. Several of the men's side won gold at the 1966 World Cup before finishing third at the subsequent European championship in 1968 and several of Scott's team-mates were part of two of the three medal-winning squads between 2009 and 2022, but only one English player in history has been a part of all three. Speaking a week after becoming a European champion, Scott told me "I was actually thinking about this the other day - I've got a full set of medals. I'd much rather they were three gold medals. My World Cup one is currently framed, so I'll definitely have to get this one framed.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Just like that, the Boston Bruins’ window to contend for a championship has snapped back open. The Bruins dominated the NHL headlines with three announcements earlier this week. Captain Patrice Bergeron, at 37, signed a new contract to return for one more year. Center David Krejci, 36, also signed for one year after playing in his native Czechia in the 2021-22 season. And general manager Don Sweeney avoided the scheduled August 11 salary arbitration hearing with newly acquired Pavel Zacha, coming to terms with the 25-year-old on a one-year contract. It was a flurry of activity after the Bruins have had a relatively quiet summer. Other than trading for Zacha by sending veteran center Erik Haula to the New Jersey Devils, most of Boston’s news had been injury related. Last season’s leading scorer, Brad Marchand, is expected to be sidelined until late November after having undergone surgery on both his hips in late May. … [Read more...] about Boston Bruins Get A Boost With Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci Set To Return
