Solitude and the Fortresses of Youth
By MICHAEL CHABON
Earlier this month my local paper, The San Francisco Chronicle, reported that a college student had been expelled from art school here for submitting a story ''rife with gruesome details about sexual torture, dismemberment and bloodlust'' to his creative writing class. The instructor, a poet named Jan Richman, subsequently found herself out of a job. The university chose not to explain its failure to renew Ms. Richman's contract, but she intimated that she was being punished for having set the tone for the class by assigning a well-regarded if disturbing short story by the MacArthur-winning novelist David Fo...

Chester: Are employers required by law to offer benefits? ?
Are employers required by law to offer benefits?
I'm doing a report for accounting and I have to write about these in my report but are there any by law that are required.
I looked it up and got this?
Are any of these right?
Seven things employers are required to offer (this applies to US employers only):
1. Employers must pay the minimum wage, as set by the federal government or a local government. Wages for piecework are allowed in some industries.
2. Employers must pay for break time if it is less than thirty minutes.
3. Employers must pay into social security.
4. Employers must pay time and half to hourly employees who work more than 40 hours in a week.
5. Empl...

Chester: Local vs foreigner for same job in today employment market.?
The Singapore economy is now confirmed to be in a recession. DBS an iron rice bowl employer had retrenched 900 employees, many in senior positions including managing directors who have service the company for one to two decades.
Likewise we also read in papers that the headhunters are now swamped with resumes from retrenched bankers in US and Europer keen to escape the collapsing economy for a safer heaven in Asia.
The big question is our local employees are already having a difficult time seeking for another job after retrenchment. If the local is equally qualified to do the job for the same or lower pay, why is the foreigners allow into our weak job market to competite with Singapore...

Chester: How do some anti-feminists believe that feminists hold vast quantities of power and influence in government?
I often see answers such as this ...
In a democracy influence=power. The problem is men have zero influence thus have zero power in the domain of gender issue's.
Feminist's and those with a gynocentric world view on the other hand hold vast sums of influence so they wield large amounts of power.
And since most politicians are spineless and only care about re-election they have not only ignored men's rights but actively(at the behest of feminist activists) sabotaged men's rights.
and
Right now in terms of influence in government, courts and society feminism still holds a dominant place
I see these statements everyday, and I find t...

Chester: History graduate looking for transition job?
I graduated in May with a BS in History with a minor in Political Science and just finished an internship at a local museum. I didn't enjoy museum administration so I am planning to go back to school to get my masters to become a teacher or maybe pick up a second bachelor's in a better field (probably computers).
I've been on Career Builder and Monster but don't have much luck in finding jobs I'd be interested in doing. These are areas I could see myself working in for a few years in this order:
1. Computers (repairs or networking; entry level)
2. Government (archives or research)
3. Insurance agencies with proper training
Are there specific job search sit...

Chester: Intelligence/Counterintelligence/Federal Agent career possible with poor history, but amibition and brains?
I'm now 25 and have spent the past 7 years putting all my efforts into one area and I've come up empty handed in the end. Time for serious change and an aggressive move forward.
I've always had an interest in government work and law enforcement. I've been considering Active Navy and Air Force Intel. Air Guard, and reserves as well. Since I'm married with a 3-yr-old step-son, and a baby girl due in March, I figured the easiest thing to do for me and my family would be to try and get hired on at the local Police Department. It would allow me good training and a good job, and the ability to continue pursuing my education, not to mention stay home and close to my fami...

Professional help
Each owner of the business have to think carefully about the future. From the owner perspective, the legal obligations and rights affecting business sometime are difficult to understand. There are many companies which can offer professional support to businesses. It is important to employ an accountant, solicitor or business consultant with an in-depth knowledge to make sure that the business is secured in the future and meet all regulations. There are many people who want to share their experience for a fee. However, it is expensive but it may be helpful in expanding the business and developing future options.
