Levine signed a memorandum of understanding on August 20 that formally merges the investigative and enforcement resources of City Hall and the Manhattan DA’s Office to combat wage theft, tenant harassment, and fraud schemes targeting immigrant New Yorkers.

By: Rosalind Beckett The migration is no longer news. For the better part of a decade, residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts have been relocating to Georgia, the Carolinas, and Florida in significant numbers, joined each winter by a seasonal wave that turns I-95 and I-75 into a north-south conveyor belt. What gets less attention is that the driving environment they arrive into is not a warmer version of the one they left.

A global digital marketing agency rarely serves one market alone. Campaigns now cross borders almost as easily as they move across social platforms. An app launched in North America will have to penetrate Europe quickly, whereas a brand already in the Middle East might require the same digital campaign strategy as other brands. Industry statistics prove this point.

By: Natalie Johnson When turnover rises, performance slips, or morale starts falling, most companies reach for familiar solutions. They launch an engagement survey, bring in a training program, replace a manager, or roll out another employee initiative. Dustin Snyder believes those responses often fail for one reason: they address the people experiencing the problem rather than the system producing it.

A wellness appointment is easier to maintain when it fits the day instead of disrupting it. For people balancing meetings, workouts, errands, and travel around Los Angeles, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) requires a little more planning than simply finding an open hour.

The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation is running one of the largest free public fitness calendars in the country this fall, with more than 1,800 scheduled events spanning every borough from mid-August through October.

Amtrak on Monday completed a 15-month rehabilitation of one of four East River train tunnels connecting Penn Station to Queens, finishing the first phase of a post-Hurricane Sandy repair project that forced the Long Island Rail Road to cut peak-hour service by 20%. MTA Chair Janno Lieber used the milestone press conference to publicly criticize Amtrak over the disruption to commuters.

By Jordan Whitmore New York has always made room for artists with an unmistakable point of view. From the songwriters of the Brill Building and the provocateurs of CBGB to the innovators who shaped jazz, hip-hop, Broadway and beyond, the city’s musical history belongs to creators who refused to disappear into the crowd. Michael Coleman, artistic director ofSee Your Shadow, understands the value of cultivating that kind of identity.

By: Marcus Ellington ARGYRO understands that glamour has always been one of pop music’s greatest tricks. The lights, clothes, cameras, and carefully constructed personas lure an audience toward the stage, but the artists who endure are usually the ones who eventually reveal something more interesting underneath. On Glitterati, ARGYRO embraces both sides of that equation, delivering a polished pop-rock album fascinated by celebrity while steadily searching for the human being behind the image.
