Many of these occupations involve coordinating, supervising, managing, or training others. Examples include accountants, human resource managers, computer programmers, teachers, chemists, and police detectives.
Most of these occupations require a four - year bachelor's degree, but some do not.
A minimum of two to four years of work-related skill, knowledge, or experience is needed for these occupations. For example, an accountant must complete four years of college and work for several years in accounting to be considered qualified.
Employees in these occupations usually need several years of work-related experience, on-the-job training, and/or vocational training.
A college degree generally is required for a position as a writer or editor. Good facility with computers and communications equipment is necessary in order to stay in touch with sources, editors, and other writers while working on assignments, whether from home, an office, or while traveling.
Education and training. Some employers look for a broad liberal arts background, while others prefer to hire people with degrees in communications, journalism, or English. For those who specialize in a particular area, such as fashion, business, or law, additional background in the chosen field is expected. Increasingly, technical writing requires a degree in, or some knowledge about, a specialized field—for example, engineering, business, or one of the sciences. Knowledge of a second language is helpful for some positions. A background in web design, computer graphics, or other technology field is increasingly practical, because of the growing use of graphics and representational design in developing technical documentation. In many cases, people with good writing skills may transfer from jobs as technicians, scientists, or engineers into jobs as writers or editors. Others begin as research assistants or as trainees in a technical information department, develop technical communication skills, and then assume writing duties.
Other qualifications. Writers and editors must be able to express ideas clearly and logically and should enjoy writing. Creativity, curiosity, a broad range of knowledge, self-motivation, and perseverance also are valuable. Writers and editors must demonstrate good judgment and a strong sense of ethics in deciding what material to publish. In addition, the ability to concentrate amid confusion and to work under pressure often is essential. Editors also need tact and the ability to guide and encourage others in their work.
Familiarity with electronic publishing, graphics, and video production increasingly is needed. Use of electronic and wireless communications equipment to send e-mail, transmit work, and review copy often is necessary. Online newspapers and magazines require knowledge of computer software used to combine online text with graphics, audio, video, and animation.
High school and college newspapers, literary magazines, community newspapers, and radio and television stations all provide valuable—but sometimes unpaid—practical writing experience. Many magazines, newspapers, and broadcast stations have internships for students. Interns write short pieces, conduct research and interviews, and learn about the publishing or broadcasting business.
Advancement. In small firms, beginning writers and editors hired as assistants may actually begin writing or editing material right away. Opportunities for advancement and also full-time work can be limited, however. Many small or not-for-profit organizations either do not have enough regular work or cannot afford to employ writers on a full-time basis. However, they routinely contract out work to freelance writers.
In larger businesses, jobs usually are more formally structured. Beginners generally do research, fact check articles, or copy edit drafts. Advancement to full-scale writing or editing assignments may occur more slowly for newer writers and editors in larger organizations than for employees of smaller companies. Advancement often is more predictable, though, coming with the assignment of more important articles.
Advancement for writers, especially freelancers, often means working on larger, more complex projects for better known publications or for more money. Building a reputation and establishing a track record for meeting deadlines also makes it easier to get future assignments. Experience, credibility, and reliability often lead to long-term freelance relationships with the same publications and to contacts with editors who will seek you out for particular assignments.
The growing popularity of blogging could allow some writers to get their work read. For example, a few well-written blogs may garner some recognition for the author and may lead to a few paid pieces in other print or electronic publications. Some established staff writers contribute to blogs on the on-line versions of publications in conjunction with their routine work. However, most bloggers do not earn a considerable amount of money writing their blogs.
Writers and editors produce a wide variety of written materials delivered to an audience in an increasing number of ways. They develop content using any number of multimedia formats for readers, listeners, or viewers. Although many people write as part of their primary job, or on on-line chats or blogs, only writers and editors who are paid for their work are included in this occupation. (News analysts, reporters and correspondents, who gather information and prepare stories about newsworthy events, are described elsewhere in the Handbook.)
Writers fall into two main categories—writers and authors and technical writers. Writers and authors develop original written materials for books, magazines, trade journals, online publications, company newsletters, radio and television broadcasts, motion pictures, and advertisements. Their works are classified broadly as either fiction or nonfiction and writers often are identified by the type of writing they do—for example, novelists, playwrights, biographers, screenwriters, and textbook writers. Some freelance writers may be commissioned by a sponsor to write a script; others may be contracted to write a book on the basis of a proposal in the form of a draft or an outline. Writers may produce materials for publication or performance, such as songwriters or scriptwriters.
Writers work with editors and publishers throughout the writing process to review edits, topics, and production schedules. Editors and publishers may assign topics to staff writers or review proposals from freelance writers. All writers conduct research on their topics, which they gather through personal observation, library and Internet research, and interviews. Writers, especially of nonfiction, are expected to establish their credibility with editors and readers through strong research and the use of appropriate sources and citations. Writers and authors then select the material they want to use, organize it, and use the written word to express story lines, ideas, or to convey information. With help from editors, they may revise or rewrite sections, searching for the best organization or the right phrasing.
Copy writers are a very specialized type of writer. They prepare advertising copy for use in publications or for broadcasting and they write other materials to promote the sale of a good or service. They often must work with the client to produce advertising themes or slogans and may be involved in the marketing of the product or service.
Technical writers put technical information into easily understandable language. They prepare product documentation, such as operating and maintenance manuals, catalogs, assembly instructions, and project proposals. Technical writers primarily are found in the information technology industry, writing operating instructions for online Help and documentation for computer programs. Many technical writers work with engineers on technical subject matters to prepare written interpretations of engineering and design specifications and other information for a general readership. Technical writers also may serve as part of a team conducting usability studies to help improve the design of a product that still is in the prototype stage. They plan and edit technical materials and oversee the preparation of illustrations, photographs, diagrams, and charts.
Most writers and editors have at least a basic familiarity with technology, regularly using personal computers, desktop or electronic publishing systems, scanners, and other electronic communications equipment. Many writers prepare material directly for the Internet. For example, they may write for electronic editions of newspapers or magazines, create short fiction or poetry, or produce technical documentation that is available only online. These writers also may prepare text for Web sites. As a result, they should be knowledgeable about graphic design, page layout, and multimedia software. In addition, they should be familiar with interactive technologies of the Web so that they can blend text, graphics, and sound together. Bloggers who are paid to write may be considered writers.
Many writers are considered freelance writers. They are self-employed and sell their work to publishers, publication enterprises, manufacturing firms, public relations departments, or advertising agencies. Sometimes, they contract with publishers first to write a book or an article. Others may be hired to complete specific short-term or recurring assignments, such as writing about a new product or contributing to an organization's quarterly newsletter.
Editors review, rewrite, and edit the work of writers. They also may do original writing. An editor's responsibilities vary with the employer and type and level of editorial position held. Editorial duties may include planning the content of books, technical journals, trade magazines, and other general-interest publications. Editors also review story ideas proposed by staff and freelance writers then decide what material will appeal to readers. They review and edit drafts of books and articles, offer comments to improve the work, and suggest possible titles. In addition, they may oversee the production of publications. In the book-publishing industry, an editor's primary responsibility is to review proposals for books and decide whether to buy the publication rights from the author.
Major newspapers and newsmagazines usually employ several types of editors. The executive editor oversees assistant editors, and generally has the final say about what stories are published and how they are covered. Assistant editors have responsibility for particular subjects, such as local news, international news, feature stories, or sports. The managing editor usually is responsible for the daily operation of the news department. Assignment editors determine which reporters will cover a given story. Copy editors mostly review and edit a reporter's copy for accuracy, content, grammar, and style.
In smaller organizations—such as small daily or weekly newspapers—a single editor may do everything or share responsibility with only a few other people. Executive and managing editors typically hire writers, reporters, and other employees. They also plan budgets and negotiate contracts with freelance writers, sometimes called stringers in the news industry.
Editors often have assistants, many of whom hold entry-level jobs. These assistants, frequently called copy editors, review copy for errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling and check the copy for readability, style, and agreement with editorial policy. They suggest revisions, such as changing words and rearranging sentences and paragraphs, to improve clarity or accuracy. They also carry out research for writers and verify facts, dates, and statistics. In addition, they may arrange page layouts of articles, photographs, and advertising; compose headlines; and prepare copy for printing. Publication assistants who work for publishing houses may read and evaluate manuscripts submitted by freelance writers, proofread printers' galleys, and answer letters about published material. Assistants on small newspapers or in radio stations compile articles available from wire services or the Internet, answer phones, and make photocopies.
Work environment. While some writers and editors work in comfortable, private offices, others work in noisy rooms filled with the sounds of keyboards and the voices of other writers tracking down information or interviewing sources. The search for information sometimes requires that writers travel to diverse workplaces, such as factories, offices, or laboratories, but many find their material through telephone interviews, the library, and the Internet.
Advances in electronic communications have changed the work environment for many writers. Laptop computers and wireless communications technologies allow growing numbers of writers to work from home and on the road. The ability to e-mail, transmit and download stories, research, or review materials using the Internet allows writers and editors greater flexibility in where and how they complete assignments.
Some writers keep regular office hours, either to maintain contact with sources and editors or to establish a writing routine, but most writers set their own hours. Many writers—especially freelance writers—are paid per assignment; therefore, they work any number of hours necessary to meet a deadline. As a result, writers must be willing to work evenings, nights, or weekends to produce a piece acceptable to an editor or client by the publication deadline. Those who prepare morning or weekend publications and broadcasts also may regularly work nights, early mornings, and weekends.
While many freelance writers enjoy running their own businesses and the advantages of working flexible hours, most routinely face the pressures of juggling multiple projects with competing demands and the continual need to find new work. Deadline pressures and long, erratic work hours—often part of the daily routine in these jobs—may cause stress, fatigue, or burnout. In addition, the use of computers for extended periods may cause some individuals to experience back pain, eyestrain, or fatigue.

Writers and authors
Employment of writers and editors is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations. Competition is expected for writing and editing jobs because many people with the appropriate training and talent are attracted to the occupation.
Employment change. Employment of writers and editors is expected to grow 10 percent, or about as fast as the average for all occupations, from 2006 to 2016. Employment of salaried writers and editors is expected to increase as demand grows for web-based publications. Technical writing, blogging, and other writing for interactive media that provide readers with nearly real-time information will provide opportunities for writers. Print magazines and other periodicals increasingly are developing market niches, appealing to readers with special interests, and making Internet-only content available on their websites. Businesses and organizations are developing newsletters and websites, and more companies are publishing materials directly for the Internet. Online publications and services are growing in number and sophistication, spurring the demand for writers and editors, especially those with Web experience. Professional, scientific, and technical services firms, including advertising and public relations agencies, also are growing and should be another source of new jobs.
Job prospects. Opportunities should be best for technical writers and those with training in a specialized field. Demand for technical writers and writers with expertise in areas such as law, medicine, or economics is expected to increase because of the continuing expansion of scientific and technical information and the need to communicate it to others. Legal, scientific, and technological developments and discoveries generate demand for people to interpret technical information for a more general audience. Rapid growth and change in the high-technology and electronics industries result in a greater need for people to write users' guides, instruction manuals, and training materials. This work requires people who not only are technically skilled as writers, but also are familiar with the subject area.
In addition to job openings created by employment growth, some openings will arise as experienced workers retire, transfer to other occupations, or leave the labor force. Replacement needs are relatively high in this occupation because many freelancers leave because they cannot earn enough money.
Writers and editors held about 306,000 jobs in 2006. More than one-third were self-employed Writers and authors held about 135,000 jobs; editors, about 122,000 jobs; and technical writers, about 49,000 jobs. About one-third of the salaried jobs for writers and editors were in the information sector, which includes newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishers; radio and television broadcasting; software publishers; motion picture and sound-recording industries; Internet service providers, Web search portals and data-processing services; and Internet publishing and broadcasting. Substantial numbers also worked in professional, scientific, and technical services. Other salaried writers and editors work in computer systems design and related services, public and private educational services, and religious organizations.
Jobs with major book publishers, magazines, broadcasting companies, advertising agencies, and public relations firms are concentrated in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. However, many writers work outside these cities and travel regularly to meet with personnel at the headquarters. Jobs with newspapers, business and professional journals, and technical and trade magazines are more widely dispersed throughout the country. Technology permits writers and editors to work from distant and remote locations and still communicate with editors and publishers. As a result, geographic concentration is less of a requirement for many writing or editing positions than it once was.

This December, NHS England and Public Health England are introducing a new campaign 'Help Us, Help You' GP Access to highlight that appointments with a GP, nurse or other healthcare professional are now available in the evenings and weekends, either at a local practice or another nearby NHS service in Wiltshire.
These appointments are available 18:30-20:00 Monday-Friday, and on some Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. This collaboration will ensure all patients in Wiltshire have this option, but this might mean you will be offered an appointment at another practice.
Appointment types will vary – some being face-to-face, some on the phone – and there will be a mixture of bookable and same-day appointments available across the week. You will be offered appointments with GPs as well as with other healthcare professionals, such as a Practice Nurse or Health Care Assistant. To book an appointment, contact your local Surgery during normal opening times. A receptionist will explain the process, and ensure the booking is appropriate.
Evening and weekend appointments have been made available to provide you with more choice, greater convenience and increased access to healthcare appointments, when and where you need them. By utilising these appointments, you can stay well, prevent illness getting worse, access the correct healthcare when you need it and get well again sooner.
The 'Help Us Help You' campaign aims to make it easier for you to understand the things you can do to manage your own health and get the best out of the NHS. This includes accessing the right NHS services for your medical need, such evening or weekend appointments with a local GP, nurse or other healthcare professional.


Good morning to you all. We hope that you have been able to get some rest over the end of year break and are beginning this year with some fresh insights. This RiverLife is mainly a prophetic update about a shift in the spirit over Christchurch.


Mercedes' very first completely electric SUV has actually been identified going through testing prior to it hits showrooms in late 2019. This mid-sized family car is the brand's very first totally electrical vehicle and will be an alternative to the similarity the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace.
From these images of a prototype being executed its paces, you can see the upcoming EQ C will have the same standard percentages as the current Concept EQ car– shown above right. It'll be about the same size as the existing GLC SUV but will include lots of futuristic styling tweaks to hint at its electrical foundations.
There'll be no need for big air consumptions to cool a hot petrol or diesel engine so the EQ C's three-pointed star badge is expected to being in a brightened frame that'll mimic the standard grille on existing Mercedes models. A thin band of LED daytime running lights might extend ideal throughout the front bumper in a comparable way to the Concept EQ while a couple of contrasting blue information will mean its electric drive system.
The EQ C's interior isn't anticipated to look quite as extreme as the cabin shown in the Concept EQ– shown above. In location of the idea's buttonless control panel, the EQ C will probably take motivation from the present crop of Mercedes SUV– albeit with a more minimalist twist.
Conventional infotainment screens and analogue dials on the dashboard will be replaced by a substantial widescreen screen while plenty of ambient LED lights could light up the car's air vents and door deals with. Plush materials, comfy seats and a lot of head and legroom will mark it out as a more luxurious option to the similarity the upcoming Jaguar I-Pace.
No official details have actually emerged about the EQ C's range or performance, however if it follows in the Concept EQ's steps it'll feature a 310-mile range and speed up from 0-62mph in less than 5 seconds. Similar to all electric cars, the EQ C will can providing near-instant bursts of acceleration as well as cruising along in practically complete silence at sluggish speeds. This need to make it unwinding to drive in town yet still fun to blast along an empty country road.
The EQ C is expected to make its very first public look in 2019 and go on sale later on that year. No costs have actually been announced but it'll most likely set you back from roughly ₤ 55,000– about the like a top-spec GLC with all the optional bells and whistles.

About 100 members of the Occupy movement for a short time occupied Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton"s waiting room this afternoon. Capitol security and state troopers ushered the group back out into the hall in front of the Governor's office.
"Money for people not for stadiums" chanted the group. Referring to Governor Dayton's current focus on public funding for a Vikings football stadium.
Troopers closed the doors to the Governor's office after the protesters were ushered out. No one was arrested.
The Governor had just completed a news conference where the press peppered him with questions about a potential stadium deal. Tomorrow he is scheduled to meet with Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and Vikings owner Zygi Wilf.


The Barefoot at the Belmont series, which is presented by 91.7 KXT, is definitely a special experience. An unmatched backdrop of the Dallas skyline from the Belmont Hotel along with the unique, quality musicians make for an intimate performance that is without comparison in the DFW area. It's a rare treat these days to get up close and personal with your favorite artists, but the Barefoot does just that. It's also very cool to see these artists perform outside of their element: solo performances with little or no backing band, acoustic where electric should go, improvised material, and real onstage banter with the crowd, although there is no stage. It's probably how musicians and concert goers would choose to have it.
Leading off the day's performances was Dallas native, Larry g(EE). Known for his robust sound and lively stage shows, today's performance was all but that. Only a sample of his band was on hand along with three backup singers. Even Larry acknowledged the absence of his supporting cast and that most of the pieces would be a shadow of themselves. Despite the stripped down sound, Larry and company were still very lively. Larry belted out every note as if it were his last and connected with the audience as often as possible. It was a good show but you really need to check out a show with his full band. That's where it's at.

Oregon comedian leaves COVID-19 quarantined cruise ship to come home
Wyatt Fossett
Local Oregonian comedian Frank King was supposed to be performing his stand-up routine to hundreds of passengers aboard a Holland-America Westerdam cruise ship. However, after leaving port in Hong Kong, the ship turned into a quarantined, floating hotel.
To make matters worse, many ports across the globe have shut off their docks to boats and shipments from Hong Kong, and China as a whole.
WHO declares coronavirus global health emergency
8 Americans aboard quarantined cruise ship test positive for coronavirus
The novel coronavirus explained: Should I be worried?
After being turned away by four different countries, King's Westerdam cruise ship finally found a port in Cambodia. Shortly after, an American onboard the ship tested positive for COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus.
While passengers were watched, King was allowed to leave, though he tells Fox24 that he has since been fired by the cruise line for disobeying quarantine instructions.
He then began a long journey back home to Oregon. From Cambodia, King took a flight to Bangkok, then to Dubai, and finally state-side to Seattle, Washington. "It wasn't like an armed camp, but they were watching you," King told K5 News in Seattle.
Luckily for King, his arrival at US Customs within SEATAC airport offered up a smooth experience. "I hadn't been on mainland China, and I'd been outside the incubation period and hadn't been in close contact with anyone with the flu, they said you are free to go," said King.
The World Health Organization continues to raise awareness surrounding the COVID-19 virus, and the US Department of State urges American citizens to reconsider traveling to mainland China at this time.
As of February 18, WHO reports that there are 73,332 confirmed cases of COVID-19 globally with 15 cases confirmed within the United States. The health organization urges citizens to maintain certain hygiene principals to avoid contracting the virus. Wash your hands often, cover your mouth when you cough, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Opinion, City
The path to the Barrington Street green space site is blocked by a fence.
How Halifax treats unhoused people brings shame to us all

Author's note: Since this story ran, I've received feedback about the accuracy of my reporting. There is a porta potty at the Geary Street site; I've been told it was there when I was there a week ago. I did not see it then but I have since found it. Unfortunately as is the way of the internet, this correction likely will not be seen by as many people who read the first piece. I know this. So I know this correction is not quite enough; I will have to work harder in future reporting to truly amend this mistake.
It's hard not to be cynical about the way of the world as a journalist, especially one with military training. In the military, there's a saying: trust but verify. The military's trade is violence, so we trust each other, but also want to know for ourselves that the things we need in moments of life or death will work as intended. It's a trait that also makes a good reporter. When the city's politicians, police and staff tell us they won't move anyone who doesn't have a place to go, I trust them.
But I also verify. Which is why, on a sunny Friday morning, I went to the four campsites the city is offering to the unhoused. I wanted to know that if the police do evict people from Meagher Park on July 17 as planned, there will be somewhere for those people to go.
Police board tries to get ready for next week's evictions from People's Park: But top city staffer Jacques Dubé, architect of the disastrous shelter siege eviction last August, tells the board he and police chief Kinsella will handle it themselves.
City council opens some parks for unhoused Haligonians to sleep in: Public officials allow four pieces of public land to be used by houseless members of the public.
The good news is that there is room in some of the sites.
The bad news is this plan seems to have been developed without taking into account that unhoused people are human beings with agency who deserve empathy, respect and dignity.
This issue is fraught and filled with nuance. The city chose the sites it did in part because it is where people are already sleeping. My grievances with this scheme might be non-issues for some, and there may be issues that are more serious to others that I miss, but what is quite clear is that this policy seems to have been put in place with one objective: Provide the bare minimum in places that won't make middle-class busybodies write angry emails.
Is there any other reason that the only green space provided in a densely populated subdivision also happens to be next to the low-income public housing on Green Road Park?
The Geary Street green space has no portable toilet. When asked about it, a city spokesperson wrote in an email: "Municipal staff have procured and installed portable toilets and garbage cans for organized garbage collection at the designated outdoor sheltering locations in municipal parks." I have verified. I no longer trust.
John, a man who sleeps sometimes at the Geary Street site, told me the closest Porta Potty is in the Dartmouth Commons at the Ovens and that it is "fucking disgusting." It is, and it is.
John (who asked The Coast to change his name to better protect him from the stigma of not having a home) took some time to talk about his situation. He's been sleeping outside for a while. He had steady employment, but he got COVID and couldn't go in for a few weeks due to internal pandemic policies at work. His trade is in high demand by Halifax Harbour Bridges, but he can't work there because he smokes weed and can't pass the required piss test—even though pot is legal. It's worth noting that in order to be in charge of a Canadian warship or submarine at sea you need to have not smoked weed for 24 hours, no piss test. Should people doing bridge maintenance have higher drug safety standards than people driving billion-dollar warships chock full of weapons? Nope, it's just another way we make being poor harder than it needs to be.
While he was out sick, someone stole one of his work boots. He can't afford new boots, and he can't go on job sites without safety boots.
John had to leave to go meet his girlfriend and try to get a phone. I had to go to the Barrington Street green space.
HRM staff presentation
The map to the four campsites the city is offering to unhoused Haligonians.
It's not quite clear where the Barrington green space is. On the city's map of the four approved sites, it looks like it's between Barrington and the dockyard's parking lot. On the Barrington bike lanes, there's a Porta Potty and a little goat trail behind a fence. Is this the entrance? If people have questions about the city, their councillors tell them to call 311, so maybe they know? "Hmmm… I don't know," says the person who answered 311. She gave vague directions to where I was currently standing. "Is it accessible? Good question, I don't know," she says. It's not.
Not only is it not accessible to people with mobility issues, but the only entrances are also goat-trail-like walking paths. On the other side of the Barrington green space is a cliff that drops five to 10 metres into the dockyard parking lot. If the city is sanctioning this site and someone falls off the cliff into the parking lot and hurts themselves, which has happened before, is the city now liable? If something goes wrong, how easily will emergency services be able to get there? Is anyone in the city thinking about what happens in an emergency for these people? Or should we read between the lines and conclude that the city just does not care if these people live or die?
Filled with impotent frustration, I head to Flinn Park. The site the city has approved for sleeping in is supposed to be lower Flinn Park, a piece of grass between some train tracks and Quinpool Road. However, the portable toilet provided for unhoused people is in the park part of Flinn Park. Right next to a couple of children's playgrounds.
This is not necessarily bad, but it's setting everyone up for failure.
People in this city go out of their way to antagonize the unhoused. Police chief Dan Kinsella has clarified at the past two Board of Police Commissioners meetings that if the police get a call, they do have to respond. He also told the board that the police don't have a policy in place to guide them in interactions with the unhoused. Is the city setting the police up to fail? Is it setting up unhoused people to be sucked into our legal system?
Has anyone working for the city thought through the implications of this policy as implemented?
It's good that the city is starting to remove some of the criminal elements of poverty, but it seems like the only goal is to hide houseless people from sight. City officials like to repeat that they have an empathy-based approach to homelessness. That is simply not true. Empathy means the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.
But as far as I can tell, this park plan doesn't even consider houseless people to be human beings.
Editor's note: Since this story was first published, The Coast has changed the first name of the man who sometimes sleeps at the Geary Street site at his request in order to better protect his identity.

ANCHOR party held at American Legion
Posted Friday, November 26, 2021 4:10 pm
ANCHOR teens and adults dance in the banquet hall of the American Legion Post 854.
Karina Kovac/Herald
We support these children and these adults."
Jose Santana Vice Commander, American Legion
By Juan Lasso and Karina Kovac
The Valley Stream American Legion Post 854 hall hosted residents from the Town of Hempstead's ANCHOR program for a night out on the town of dinner and dancing last Friday. ANCHOR stands for Answering the Needs of Citizens with Handicaps through Organized Recreation, a comprehensive year-round program serving over one thousand children and adults with special needs who reside in the Town of Hempstead. For 40 years, the American Legion has held the ANCHOR dance for handicapped teens and adults to enjoy themselves while being a part of the wider community. Boy Scout Troop 116 and Girl Scout Troop 99 assisted as a service troop, helping to prep the banquet hall for the dance as well as dishing out refreshments to guests.
Program participant Danielle Palermo says she likes the many ANCHOR camp activities they have and is happy to see her friends at this year's fall activity dance hosted by the Legion. Tonight, is not the first ANCHOR dance she's attended, stating she "loves to party."
MaryAnn Hanson, the Coordinator of the Town of Hempstead ANCHOR Program, explained that what makes the dance special is leaving Lido Beach, the program's base of operations, and venturing out into a different location in the Hempstead community. "They feel special because they're in a [more mature atmosphere]…a place where their parents might go…It's very important because our normal dances are at our own center, so when they go out to dance, it's like they're going out to a big occasion," said Hanson.
Socialization and connection are one of the driving forces behind events such as these, according to Hanson. "We have over a thousand participants. One of our biggest missions is to introduce our population to the community. So, dances like this where the American Legion sponsors it; they're around the American Legion people; they're around the Boy Scouts who help work it—it's fabulous for our kids and it's fabulous for the community," said Hanson. "It's a pleasure to be here."
Jose Santana, a Vice Commander at the American Legion, started his involvement in the ANCHOR dance 5 years ago. He stated that the first time he hosted the event, it invigorated his spirits to see how happy everyone was. "It was a really good experience for me because [of] their reaction to the lights, to the music, to the food. The fact of the matter is they don't get this on a regular basis. So, if we can get to them once a year, I think it's a great thing to do and we enjoy doing it."
Last year, because of Covid, the event didn't take place, but Santana was happy when he got the word that the Legion could host an in-person dance this year. "It's a great thing because we get to actually witness their faces as they're walking in and as they're enjoying the night. It's an amazing feeling," said Santana. Bridging together the relationship between ANCHOR and the American Legion, Santana concludes: "This is the American Legion…We support these children and these adults, and we support anything that has to do with the community. We love our community."

Appleton United heads to state in hockey
Tim Froberg
ASHWAUBENON - Erik Bargholtz was just trying to kill a penalty and clear the puck out of the zone.
He accomplished both before doing something far more important and delivering Appleton United's biggest goal of the season.
Bargholtz scored a short-handed goal with 2:31 remaining to break a tie game and send United to the WIAA boys' hockey state tournament with a dramatic 6-4 win over conference rival Neenah/Hortonville/Menasha on Friday in a sectional championship thriller at Cornerstone Community Center.
It will be the second consecutive trip to state for United (24-2-0), which opens state tournament play Thursday at 1:15 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Coliseum against today's Waupun-University School winner.
Making the return trip to state didn't come easy for United, which was pushed to the limit by an inspired Rockets team (23-2-1).
"Unbelievable," said Appleton United coach Mike Brolsma. "The kids were resilient. They faced adversity tonight, battled back and pulled one out. Hats off to Neenah. They're a hell of a club. That's easily the best team we've played all year and they battled all night and gave us a fight right until the end."
The game was tied 3-3 heading into the third period before the Rockets took a 4-3 lead early in the period on a Carter Grishaber goal.
United tied the contest three minutes later on a Matthew Gruber goal and the game went down to the final minutes. NHM was on a power play when Bargholtz notched the pivotal goal. He stole a pass and skated down the ice in a 2-on-1 situation before drilling the puck past Preston Long.
"We were on a penalty kill and I was just trying to get the puck out of the zone the whole time," said Bargholtz. "We got a nice chip off the boards and it was a 2-on-1 with Lucas (McKinnon). To be honest, I wasn't really shooting for a goal. I was going for a rebound shot and it ended up going in."
Bargholtz, a talented freshman who attends Appleton North, has been a huge addition this season to Appleton United.
"He chipped it around the guy and it was a flat-out foot race at that point," said Brolsma. "He won the race and buried the puck five hole. It was a great shot. You get an opportunity like that and you've got to bury it."
United got an open-net goal by Kieran Brosnan with 18.7 seconds remaining after the Rockets pulled Long in favor of an extra attacker.
N/H/M, the Badgerland Conference champion, played strong hockey and might have pulled out the win out had a bounce or two gone their way in the final period. The Rockets had three shots on the late power play that nearly dropped into the United net, but instead were stopped by United goalie Dylan Phinney.
"It's a tough loss for the boys," said N/H/M co-coach Jeff Lindemann. "Our seniors are obviously struggling with it, but that's a good team over there and we wish them the best."
The Rockets received two goals apiece from Alec Elkin and Grishaber. N/H/M played without one of its leading scorers, senior Max Hackinson, who suffered a head injury in the Rockets' sectional win over Bay Port on Tuesday.
"We were a little short on the bench and I think we kind of ran out of gas," said Lindemann.
Bargholtz and Brosnan had two goals apiece for United, while Trenton Bliss also scored.
Brosnan's first goal came on a slap shot just 14 seconds into the game and set the stage for a wild six-goal first period.
"We never thought the game would start out like that," said Lindemann. "After that, things kind of settled down. We had opportunities and went up by one in that third period. We just couldn't hold on."
NHM…
Goals - First period: Kieran Brosnan AU (Michael Alfaro, Trenton Bliss) 0:14; Alec Elkin NHM (Tyler Hafeman, Travis Treml) 4:51 pp; Bliss AU (Keegan Gallup) 6:24; Carter Grishaber NHM (Elkin) 7:20; Erik Bargholtz AU (Bliss) 11:42; Elkin NHM (Jack Kraus) 13:26. Third period: Grishaber NHM (Hafeman) 1:41; Matthew Gruber AU 4:43; Bargholtz AU 14:29; Brosnan AU 16:42. Saves: Dylan Phinney AU 31, Preston Long NHM 23.

A gulag with nukes: inside North Korea
Jasper Becker
The Chinese shopkeeper gave a triumphant yell when he spotted a ragged figure bent double and stumbling about the garbage that had cascaded from a hilltop. I plunged after him through the deep snow. When I caught up with him, he was shouting and grinning at his successful catch.
As he fished around his pocket to pull out some plastic twine, a face black with dirt and scabrous with pellagra shrunk back into the shadows of a hood made from grey sackcloth like a medieval leper. The creature whimpered feebly but put up no resistance as the shopkeeper bound the twine around her hands. I now found myself bargaining for the life of a woman I guessed to be around 50.
She turned out to be 28. She had been a worker in Hamhung, North Korea's second largest industrial city. All the factories had closed. Her husband had disappeared and she was left with no rations to try to look after her 5-year old. "Without work, you get no food", she said.
Jasper Becker is the author of Rogue Regime: Kim Jong Il and the Looming Threat of North Korea (Oxford University Press, 2005). His website is here.
After some haggling, I managed to buy her life for 200 yuan (around £13 or $20). This was 1997, at the height of the North Korean famine when 3 million out of 22 million perished in (proportionately) the worst man-made famine ever recorded in peacetime. To call her or the hundreds of thousands like her "refugees" is a misnomer; they are escapees from the last slave society left in the world.
Eight years on, the North Koreans are still starving and the west still does not know how to deal with their "dear leader", Kim Jong Il – who inherited the state leadership from his father, "great leader" Kim Il Sung, in 1994. Washington's elite remains deeply divided about whether it is wiser to appease or confront him.
Kim has agreed to return to the six-party nuclear talks (involving Russia, China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea and the United States) he abandoned a year ago; the talks resume in Beijing on 26 July 2005.
At the last showdown in 2002, the Bush administration put its trust in China, which in turn promised to force North Korea to the negotiating table and make it give up its nuclear weapons. China has let Bush down, and for a very clear reason – it is part of the problem. Every year, China forcibly sends back across the border 25,000 North Korean escapees, many of whom are then shot or imprisoned in death camps.
China claims they are all "economic migrants" and forbids the United Nations High Commission for Refugees from opening camps and processing claims for political asylum. China is determined to prevent its vassal from collapsing, East Germany-style; its support for North Korea is part of a pattern that has seen it give uncritical support to regimes like Pol Pot's Cambodia and, more recently, the Darfur-oppressing Islamist junta in Sudan and Islam Karimov's Uzbekistan.
The court of Kim Jong Il
When, one day, the Kim Jong Il regime falls and the mass graves open up in North Korea, the United Nations will get the blame. The World Food Programme has run the largest and longest emergency food programme in its history. It boasts that it averted a great famine in the late 1990s, and that by careful monitoring, it is now protecting the neediest members of society.
The trouble is that when North Koreans are free to speak, they tell a very different story. In Seoul in June 2005, I met Choi Seung-cheol, who saw thousands of emaciated bodies arriving at the hospital in Chongjin where he worked as a doctor. This industrial port on the east coast was one of the first to receive international aid, but he reckoned that over 200,000 died there. At the hospital, they worked without any medical supplies because 90% of the foreign aid was confiscated.
"They kept everything for themselves", he said. He and many others I interviewed believe that billions of dollars in foreign aid has been diverted, partly to fund the northern state's weapons programmes and partly to finance Kim Jong Il's luxurious daily routine.
South Korea's defence ministry estimates that Kim spent $400 million in 1997-2002 buying second-hand MiG fighter jets, submarine parts, helicopters, and engines for tanks and ships. His troops are equipped with mini-underwater submarines launched from disguised fishing vessels, specially adapted hovercrafts, light planes and a defence industry hidden inside mountains which builds ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons and chemical gases in subterranean factories and research laboratories.
The costliest part of it all is the nuclear-weapons programmes, much of which Kim has probably been able to hide as effectively as the Iranians have hidden theirs from United Nations inspectors. This is in addition to an intercontinental ballistic missile programme whose scope caught every one by surprise on 31 August 1998 when Kim fired a rocket which flew over Japan.
The stories told about the extravagance of Kim Jong-Il's lifestyle are so lurid that at first they seem hard to believe. A number of former cooks, including an Italian and a Japanese sushi chef, have described in detail his gourmet obsessions. One chef published a book in Japan under the pseudonym Kenji Fujimoto; at the very time people were starving in their millions, he travelled to Iran and Uzbekistan to buy caviar, to China for melons and grapes, to Thailand and Malaysia for durians and papayas, to the Czech Republic for Pilsner beer, to Denmark for bacon, and (regularly) to Japan for tuna and other fresh fish.
When I tracked down a member of one of Kim's "happiness teams" of dancers and masseuses in Seoul, I asked her if these tales could be true. O Yong-hui, a petite slender woman with a pale porcelain complexion and almond eyes started out as a professional gymnast until she was recruited to join one of the four all-girl dance troupes. She is now 33.
She described how, on joining Kim's court, she was given handmade Italian shoes, Japanese designer clothes (Yamoto, Kenzo, Mori) and an Omega watch inscribed with Kim Jong Il's name. A check of Swiss trade statistics shows that in 1998, North Korea did indeed import $2.7 million's worth of luxury watches.
At breakfast she enjoyed French croissants, fresh yoghurt and imported fruits because Kim said they must have clear and healthy skins. At lunch there was fresh raw fish, Japanese-style, and at dinner Korean or western dishes.
"We ate off porcelain dishes inlaid with roses and used silver tableware. Everything was imported. Nothing I have ever seen in South Korea is as good", she said. When her five years was up – no girls stay longer – she decided to flee with her husband, a former bodyguard.
I double-checked their stories with an ex-bodyguard, Lee Young-guk who observed Kim at close quarters during eleven years of service.
"In a real sense, he is the richest man in the world. There are no limits on what he can do", Lee said. "He has at least ten palaces set in sprawling grounds and insists each is always occupied by thousands of staff so his enemies are never sure where he is. They contain golf courses, stables for his horses, garages full of motor-bikes and luxury cars, shooting-ranges, swimming pools, cinemas, funfair parks, water-jet bikes and hunting grounds stocked with wild deer and duck."
A big bulky man in a blue suit, Lee reached down below the coffee table, and showed me shins covered by a mass of blue scars. When Lee Young-guk returned to his home to find everyone starving, he decided to escape; but North Korean agents masquerading as South Koreans caught him in China. His strong physique and years of harsh training helped him survived the torture, and he escaped again.
Lee says that Kim Jong Il fears an uprising like the one that overthrew Nicolae Ceausescu in Romania. In the face of several abortive army rebellions, he relies on a crack force of around 100,000 men, the equivalent of Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard.
After the Soviet bloc's collapse and the defeat of Saddam Hussein in the first Gulf war of 1991, Kim took ever-greater internal security measures. He expanded the secret police, creating three duplicate layers of surveillance. No one in the elite could go anywhere or meet anyone without first obtaining his permission.
After the United States tried to "decapitate" Saddam Hussein in the second Iraq war of 2003, he disappeared for four months and moved around Pyongyang using a series of tunnels that connect all key buildings and were designed to withstand a nuclear attack.
A gulag with nukes
When Madeleine Albright, then US secretary of state, travelled to Pyongyang to meet Kim in 2000 and arrange a summit with President Clinton, she was told he was reclusive, even delusional – a weak, cautious man hampered by a stammer who lived in the shadow of his father Kim Il Sung. She found instead, she reported, a charming if eccentric man who seemed reassuringly rational.
If indeed Washington can do business with Kim Jong Il, he would first have to be absolved from any responsibility for his crimes against humanity. The United Nations, anxious to continue operating in the north, has led the way by officially blaming "temporary" food shortages on bad weather and the loss of Soviet aid after 1990.
But you only have to meet North Koreans to see compelling evidence of malnutrition that began twenty years ago. I met kids on the border who claimed to be 19 or 22; they had the physiques of 10-year-olds.
Lee Min-bok is a refugee in Seoul, an agricultural expert. Kim Jong Il told his father in 1982 that the country had reaped a record harvest of fifteen million tons of grain – double the true figure. Under Kim Jong Il, lying became so endemic that it destroyed the planned economy.
Everyone learned how to please the "dear leader"; all you had to do was lie. People started to cheat by making false reports. By the mid-1980s, the country was running short of a million tons of grain every year, enough to feed 3 million people. Lee Min-bok first saw people dying of hunger in 1988, in North Korea's northeast, seven years before the country appealed for international aid.
Lee Min-bok's research proved that the country could feed itself if it embraced Chinese-style agricultural reforms. Kim Jong-Il refused to consider any reform and Lee, fearing for his life, decided to flee.
Those who doubt (or are even suspected of doubting) Kim's fantasy world are sent to places like Camp 22. Ahn Myong-chol, now a banker in Seoul, spent a decade working as a guard in various camps. He can still recall the shock – "like a hammer" – on first seeing dwarf-like creatures milling about in filthy rags.
"They were walking skeletons of skin and bone, with faces covered in cuts and scars where they had been beaten. Most had no ears; they had been torn off in beatings. Many had lost a leg and hobbled about on crude crutches or sticks", Ahn remembers.
Ahn was told not to consider the prisoners human beings. They were killed casually for the slightest infractions, often in gruesome ways – buried alive, dragged behind jeeps, hung or shot, garrotted or burned alive. The rest were worked to death in mines or building secret tunnels for the military, or given lethal jobs like testing chemical weapons.
"Anyone suspected of disloyalty ended up in the camps", he said. Kim Il-sung had purged opponents by the trainload, but his son nearly doubled the number of political prisoners. Whole families would be arrested, and sent to prison camps without trial and without even knowing their crime.
Kang Chol-hwan describes his camp childhood in his book The Aquariums of Pyongyang. When President Bush invited him to the White House, Pyongyang reacted furiously, calling Kang "human trash" and threatening the United States with a refusal to consider further talks if it continued to "insult" North Korea.
The New York Times and the rest of liberal America wants Bush to start serious negotiations and stop calling Kim Jong Il names. President Bush is certain to ignore this advice. As the Beijing six-party talks prepare to reconvene on 26 July, the stage is set for a new showdown on the Korean peninsula.

All three of Fayetteville-Manlius School District's elementary schools have been named among the best in public elementary education, according to a new ranking.
Enders Road Elementary School, Fayetteville Elementary School and Mott Road Elementary School are included in Niche's 2019 Best Public Elementary Schools ranking, which is based on rigorous analysis of academic and student life data from the U.S. Department of Education.
Ranking factors include state test scores, student-teacher ratio, student diversity, teacher quality, grade school ratings, and overall school district quality, according to Niche.
The Fayetteville-Manlius elementary schools are among the 30 best elementary schools in Upstate New York. Enders Road (#4), Fayetteville (#9) and Mott Road (#14) are the only Onondaga County schools included on the list. The schools' statewide rankings are 47, 73 and 103, respectively.
Last year, F-M was named one of Niche's Best School Districts in America. The report, which is based on state test scores, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, health and safety, culture and diversity, teachers, resources and facilities, clubs and activities, sports, and feedback from parent and student surveys, ranked the district 27th in New York state and 93rd nationally.


This thesis studies housing opportunities in post-reform China for young Chinese adults (aged roughly from 25 to 40). The term 'housing opportunities' embraces the key factors affecting individuals' access to housing services and assets. These factors determine the extent to which one person can transform his or her efforts into better housing outcomes in a certain institutional setting. The aim is to identify these factors and understand their interrelations against the background of China's changing institutions and market reforms. In so doing, this thesis seeks to elucidate the interaction between various institutions and housing.

Texas School Shooting Victims: What we know about 10 killed in Santa Fe
Student and teachers aid named among victims
SANTA FE, Texas -- A substitute teacher who relatives say had a "lust for life" and a foreign exchange student from Pakistan are among the first confirmed victims of mass shooting at a Texas high school.
Among those injured Friday are a school resource officer and a sophomore baseball player.
Seventeen-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis was being held on a capital murder charge after authorities say he fatally shot 10 people and wounded at least 10 others at his high school in Santa Fe, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) southeast of Houston.
Here are some of their stories:
CYNTHIA TISDALE
Family members confirmed that substitute teacher Cynthia Tisdale was among the victims killed in the shooting.
Tisdale's niece, Leia Olinde, said Tisdale was like a mother to her and helped her shop for wedding dresses last year.
"She helped me put it on, she helped fix my hair," Olinde said through tears.
"She was wonderful. She was just so loving," said Olinde, 25. "I've never met a woman who loved her family so much."
She said Tisdale was married to her husband for close to 40 years and that the two had three children and eight grandchildren.
Tisdale's house was the center for family gatherings, and she loved cooking Thanksgiving dinner and decorating her house, Olinde said.
Olinde's fiance, Eric Sanders, said of Tisdale that "words don't explain her lust for life and the joy she got from helping people."

The Pakistani foreign exchange student is among those killed in the shooting, according to a leader at a program for foreign exchange students and the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Megan Lysaght, manager of the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange & Study Abroad program (YES), sent a letter to students in the program confirming that Sabika Sheikh was killed in the shooting.
"Please know that the YES program is devastated by this loss and we will remember Sabika and her families in our thoughts and prayers," Lysaght wrote.
She said the program would be holding a moment of silence for the girl, who is pictured beaming in a shirt that says "Texas" in a photo being shared on social media.
Lysaght declined further comment when contacted by The Associated Press and referred calls to a State Department spokesman.
The Pakistan Embassy in Washington, D.C., identified Sabika as a victim of the shooting on Twitter and wrote that "our thoughts and prayers are with Sabika's family and friends."
The Pakistan Association of Greater Houston said on Facebook that Sabika was due to go back home to Pakistan for Eid al-Fitr, a three-day holiday that marks the end of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.
"May Allah bless her soul and may she RIP," the statement said.
Suspect Dimitrios Pagourtzis is in custody, and a second person has been detained following the fatal shooting.
On the scene now. No longer an active situation. Personnel treating the injured. Info is still preliminary, but there are multiple casualties. @HCSOTexas is on the scene with other law enforcement assisting in the search of the school.

JOHN BARNES
School police officer John Barnes was shot in the arm when he confronted the gunman.
A bullet damaged the bone and a major blood vessel around Barnes' elbow, which required surgery to repair, said David Marshall, chief nursing officer at the University of Texas Medical Branch. He said Barnes was in stable condition.
Barnes was the first to engage Pagourtzis, according to Marshall.
ROME SHUBERT
Sophomore baseball player Rome Shubert says the gunman walked into his classroom and tossed something onto desks.
Shubert told the Houston Chronicle that he then heard "three loud pops" before the attacker fled into the hall. Shubert says he realized he'd been wounded as he was running out the back door.
Shubert says he was hit in the back of his head with what he says was a bullet, but that it "missed everything vital." He also tweeted that he was OK and stable.
NUMEROUS VICTIMS AT LOCAL HOSPITALS
A Santa Fe ISD police officer, John Barnes, was shot in the upper arm near his chest and is currently undergoing surgery.
According to the chief nursing officer at UTMB, David Marshall, there are three victims at the hospital, including the police officer.
Marshall said during a press conference that two adults and one minor were transported to the facility for treatment.
Marshall released information about the three victims at UTMB. He said that the 16-year-old shot was transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg. He's in stable condition.
The third victim at the hospital is a woman who sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. She's also in stable condition in the operating room.

Jewish Leaders Praise Amb. Rice for Pro-Israel Leadership at UN
December 7, 2012 by Steve Sheffey Leave a Comment
— by Jason Berger
JTA's Ron Kampeas provided a roundup of what Jewish leaders are saying about Ambassador Susan Rice, who could be nominated as Hillary Clinton's successor for Secretary of State.
The Anti-Defamation League's Abraham Foxman stated:
She has proven herself as an ardent defender of major Israeli positions in an unfriendly forum… And I'm more comfortable with the person I know than the person I don't know. She is close to the president and that's important in that position if you have someone you can relate to and understands us.
Foxman was also "furious" at the recent attacks on Rice's record:
People may differ about the effectiveness of certain tactics or, as we have often done, even seriously question whether bodies like the U.N. Human Rights Council will ever give Israel a fair hearing… But no one should use the U.N.'s anti-Israel record to cast aspersions on Ambassador Rice. She has earned her reputation as a fighter for Israel's equality in a hostile forum where an automatic majority reflexively expresses its bias against Israel.
JTA quoted B'nai Brith International Executive Vice President Daniel Mariaschin:
'One thing important to point out is that the votes have reflected administration policy.' More specifically, in regards to Rice's 'no' vote last week when the General Assembly elevated the Palestinians to non-member state status, Mariaschin exclaimed his approval. He stated, 'There are ways of explaining your vote and ways of explaining your vote … She made kind of a good end to an otherwise disappointing day.'
In her vote explanation, Rice said, 'Today's grand pronouncements will soon fade, and the Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed, save that the prospects of a durable peace have only receded.'
Veteran pro-Israel activist Steve Sheffey recounted Rice's many pro-Israel accomplishments in his most recent piece for the Times of Israel. Last January, Rice said that defending Israel's legitimacy at the UN is a "daily concern" for herself and America's delegation. Rice's work at the United Nations earned her the National Service Award from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in December 2011.
