According to an NBC News review of police hiring laws in Illinois, Grayson’s hiring did not appear to have violated state or local police hiring policies. And an NBC News review of hiring practices around the country shows that there is a patchwork of hiring standards that vary from state to state and from community to community. Experts say the hiring standards in many small law enforcement agencies are often lower than those of large city agencies. In Illinois, in addition to its state law, city councils and county commissions can also set their own stricter hiring rules. Using the California hiring standards as a model, Guller tells his clients to send seasoned investigators out to interview a person’s former romantic partners, neighbors, employers and even patrons at their favorite bars.

After several years, Ms. Allen became a nurse by graduating from a city program, and before returning to the pediatric hospital in her freshly earned nurse’s whites and cape, she worked briefly in Sea View’s adult wards. The most striking ornamental aspect of these pavilions was the six-foot-high terra-cotta frieze running around each building beneath its eaves. Here, against a backdrop of golden tiles, could be found polychrome images of doctors, seashells, garlands, red crosses and white nurses. The terra-cotta images were created using the “sectile” technique introduced at the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris. In June, New York City Health + Hospitals agreed to allow the New York City Fire Department to occupy the old Sea View staff house for 40 years.

☆ You can get paid $110,000 to become a 'pizza influencer' in NYC
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-30 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Slice, which handles online orders for pizza shops, is hiring a full-time pizza influencer. It's searching for a pizza influencer who will become the "'face' of the company" on its social media accounts for a salary of $85,000 to $110,000, per the job posting. Matthew Kobach, the company's marketing VP, told Insider the ideal candidate is someone who can make "pizza synonymous with Slice." Although it's a full-time role with benefits and a 401k, Slice's pizza influencer will be eligible to take deals from other brands on a case-by-case basis, Kobach said. "If you make it essentially glorified ads, no one is going to watch them, and your organic social media is really going to serve no purpose."

☆ New Yorkers Brace for a 2nd Straight Day of Dangerously High Heat

A heat advisory indicates potentially dangerous conditions for older and other vulnerable people; an excessive heat warning indicates anyone may be at risk. Although New Yorkers are no strangers to sweltering in summertime, the current hot spell is somewhat unusual: The Weather Service last issued an excessive heat warning for the area in August 2021, Mr. Ramunni said. The heat and humidity were expected to remain oppressive through Saturday evening, when thunderstorms are likely to move through. Central Park was a bit cooler, with the temperature peaking at 92 degrees and the heat index hitting 99. The city’s pools, which open at 11 a.m., will stay open for an extra hour, until 8 p.m., on Friday and Saturday.

☆ The Most Expensive and Most Affordable Cities for Childcare in the US
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-31 | by ( Jeremy Ney | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +13 min

The most expensive counties generally have fewer childcare workers or the state doesn't provide enough financial support for low-income families. The US Department of Health and Human Services considers childcare "affordable" if it costs less than 7% of a family's income. The pandemic provided a perfect example of this dynamic: 2 million women left the workforce and haven't returned, citing childcare costs as the No. Counties with higher levels of poverty often lack affordable care as childcare workers themselves can't afford to live on the industry's low wages. In Canada, where childcare workers make more, that ratio is six to one.

☆ These are shaping up to be the best and worst luxury real estate markets for 2023
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Robert Frank | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Wealthy investors betting on luxury real estate would do best by putting their money in Dubai or Miami next year, according to a new report. In a ranking 25 of the world's top luxury, or "prime," real estate markets, Dubai topped the list, with prices expected to increase 13.5% in 2023, according to real estate consultancy Knight Frank. The worst performers next year are expected to be Seoul and London, with prices expected to drop 3% for both. Across the 25 cities, Knight Frank expects prices to rise by an average of 2% in 2023, revised down from the 2.7% Knight Frank projected six months ago. Political and economic volatility in many countries will also lead to a flight to safety in real estate, "pushing buyers to mature and transparent luxury markets."
