Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Job seekers in California will no longer have to take a shot in the dark when asked about their salary expectations. Effective January 1, 2023, employers with fifteen or more employees will soon be required to post the minimum and maximum salary range for any job within the state. The state’s pay transparency law aims to help alleviate sex-based wage disparities by establishing a level field for pay practices. Since 2018 all employers in California have been required to disclose a position’s pay scale to applicants for employment upon request. While that requirement will remain in place, California’s State Bill 1162 amends Labor Code Section 432.3 and requires that employers with fifteen or more employees also include a pay scale in all job postings, including those posted on third-party platforms. A pay scale is a salary or hourly wage range that the employer reasonably expects to pay for the position.

New York City (Representative image : Shutterstock) During the past six months, thousands of asylum-seekers have been sent to New York, most coming from Texas by way of political gimmickry rooted in the goal that Northern liberals might finally understand the challenges of our immigration policy if they were confronted with a surge. By decree of a law long considered sacrosanct, anyone in New York without a place to stay must be granted one, which has brought roughly 14,600 of these new entrants into the city’s shelter system, where 11,000 currently remain in need of nearly everything. When Mayor Eric Adams took office this year, the shelter population was near its lowest level in a decade. But those gains were soon erased as migrants came to constitute more than one-fifth of the entire shelter count, which swelled from 45,000 in April to more than 59,000 this past week. Six buses arrived at Port Authority on Monday alone. The mayor has properly described the situation as a … [Read more...] about New York’s invisible migrant crisis

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A familiar face has returned once more to the New England Patriots’ linebacker room. The organization re-signed veteran Jamie Collins on Monday, as reported by Mike Reiss of ESPN and confirmed by agent David Canter of GSE Worldwide . Collins, 32, had remained an unrestricted free agent since March yet visited Gillette Stadium midway through September. The Southern Mississippi product now begins his fourth stint with the organization that selected him in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft at No. 52 overall. New England traded Collins to the Cleveland Browns in 2016. He made his way back in 2019 as well as in 2021 after being released by the Detroit Lions only 16 starts into a three-year, $30 million contract that included $18 million guaranteed as well as a restructure. A Super Bowl XLIX champion, Collins has appeared in 76 games with 58 starts during his Patriots career. His odometer in Foxborough … [Read more...] about New England Patriots Reunite With Veteran Linebacker Jamie Collins For Fourth Stint

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Ten selections were made by the New England Patriots in the 2022 NFL draft. No linebackers were among them. But Mack Wilson, who arrived in a March trade with the Cleveland Browns, can be viewed as an extension of the incoming class for head coach Bill Belichick and position coach Jerod Mayo. The Alabama product was selected in the fifth round back in 2019 after earning second-team All-SEC honors as a junior. He turned 24 years old in the weeks leading up to being acquired in exchange for edge-rusher Chase Winovich. “First off, it’s a blessing to be able to get a fresh start,” Wilson told reporters during his introductory video conference on Tuesday. “I kind of look at it sort of like a second chance. I’m approaching it like a pro, just coming in with that mindset to work hard and earn everything that I can and build that trust amongst the rest of the guys that built this foundation here last season.” Wilson … [Read more...] about Mack Wilson’s ‘Second Chance’ With New England Patriots Reinforced By 2022 Draft Class

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said there were “no false expectations” when it came to the selection of Cameron McGrone last May. The former Michigan linebacker, taken at No. 177 overall, had suffered a torn ACL against Rutgers as a redshirt sophomore. The November injury marked the conclusion of his Wolverines tenure, which began as a five-star recruit out of Lawrence Central High School in Indianapolis. It also made him a gamble worth waiting for in the compensatory range of the NFL draft’s fifth round. “We’re not really sure what the expectation of availability is for him, but we’re prepared certainly to not have him available this year,” Belichick told reporters of McGrone during his post-draft video conference . “But we’ll just have to wait and see how that goes. There are no false expectations here. He should have a good recovery and be a good player. We’ll just have to see what the timing is … [Read more...] about New England Patriots’ Fifth-Round Gamble On Cameron McGrone Could Pay Off In 2022

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The 2021 season has come to an end in August for Raekwon McMillan. The New England Patriots placed the 25-year-old linebacker on injured reserve Saturday after he suffered a torn ACL during padded practice last week, as first reported by Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Media . McMillan was trending toward a 53-man roster spot in training camp after arriving on a one-year, $1.15 million contract in March. The agreement with New England included a $50,000 signing bonus, $180,000 in cumulative per-game active bonuses and saw $200,000 of his $920,000 base salary guaranteed. “Raekwon’s done a real good job,” Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said in a recent press conference . “I’ve been very impressed with his intelligence, his work ethic. He’s locked in every day. He works extremely hard both on and off the field. Does a great job of trying to get it just the way that it’s supposed to be, the way he’s been … [Read more...] about Torn ACL Ends New England Patriots Linebacker Raekwon McMillan’s Roster Push

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Bill Belichick knew the line between rushing and containing the quarterback atop the AFC East was a fine one. “If you miss him and he gets loose, that’s going to be a big problem,” the New England Patriots head coach said leading up to last Saturday’s wild card. “You can’t just stand there and watch him throw. That’s not the answer. But being undisciplined and just running around back there, letting him run, that’s not the answer either.” No answers would be found in the defensive gameplan at Highmark Stadium. But that the defensive gameplan did not include outside linebackers Chase Winovich and Josh Uche was a concern for their development. The 47-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills provided a snapshot of where the Michigan products, drafted one year and one round apart, stand entering 2022. Winovich found himself a healthy inactive on a frigid night in Orchard Park. Uche found himself on the field for six out of 56 … [Read more...] about New England Patriots’ Plans For Young Rushers Chase Winovich, Josh Uche Unclear After 2021

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Eleven throws have been intercepted by Jamie Collins across his regular seasons and postseasons with the New England Patriots. The latest arrived Sunday afternoon at Bank of America Stadium against the Carolina Panthers. And it arrived with anticipation and elevation on third-and-13 in the third quarter. The camera panned as quarterback Sam Darnold fired the pass toward the middle of the field. It panned back as the veteran linebacker, re-signed on a one-year, $1.075 million contract in October, gloved it high above the helmets of offensive linemen Sam Tecklenburg and Trent Scott. “I was rushing,” Collins told reporters after what became a 24-6 win for New England. “Yeah, I was rushing. He was a scrambler, man. He is a scrambler. He was getting out of the pocket, so I was really just trying to keep my eye on him, trying to occupy the center or the guard and it just so happened to come my way.” Like facing a … [Read more...] about In Third Act With New England Patriots, Linebacker Jamie Collins Is Making Familiar Plays

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A quarter of a century ago JVC rewrote the projector rulebook when it developed a proprietary SXGA version of Liquid Crystal on Silicon technology that would go on to revolutionise the projector world. Called D-ILA, JVC’s LCoS variation had a ground-breaking impact on picture quality, especially when it came to black levels and contrast. Its impact was so great, in fact, that JVC’s home cinema projectors retain a comfortable advantage in this key picture quality area even today, 16 years after the brand launched D-ILA technology’s first truly game-changing home cinema projector, the legendary DLA-HD1. JVC is so proud of its D-ILA story that it’s decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its first D-ILA system by creating a limited edition release of its most extreme home cinema projector to date: The cunningly named DLA-25LTD. Set to cost the small matter of £33,000 when it launches around the middle of December, … [Read more...] about JVC Announces New Limited Edition Flagship Projector, Plus Impressive Software Update For Current Models

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin On October 5, Delta Airlines opens a brand-new extension to Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport, universally known as LAX. The spanking-new terminal gives Delta an additional 9 gates, allowing it to bulk up to 27 by 2023. With new gates come new flights, including non-stops to Haneda (Japan), Paris, Tahiti and Australia. “Delta can now grow,” declared Scott Santoro, Vice President of Global Sales at Delta Air Lines in a brief interview on-site. Already, he said, “We are the largest global premium carrier in Los Angeles.” Delta, which controls both Terminal 2 and the expanding Terminal 3, has already taken over the top spot among US airlines at LAX. Aggressive spending on new facilities, including the expanded Terminal 3 and an enormous Sky Club opened in April, has no doubt helped drive the change. Built in the 1960’s, Terminal 3 has had more of a transformation than a facelift. From the walls, … [Read more...] about Will Delta Air Lines Dominate At LAX With Beautiful New Terminal 3?
