So much for ‘going high.’ Those who had warned about an uptick in sexism under President Trump may have been on to something.
As the era of Trump dawns, some women already are being singled out for criticism and scorn that is tinged with sexist assumptions and seems intended to force them back into roles society decrees are a must for good women. Yet this isn’t a Republican “war on women,” as some predicted. It is, rather, progressives and left-leaning media elites who are targeting conservative women. Take the recent Saturday Night Live skit ridiculing Kellyanne Conway, the first woman to have led a successful Presidential campaign. (Full disclosure: I’ve met Kellyanne professionally.)

Some jobs that were popular fifty or sixty years ago are unheard of these days. Jobs that will be popular in fifty or sixty years — we may not even be able to guess.
But today, what we can guess are which jobs are going to be the most beneficial in one year, or even a few. Because we’ve crunched the data, and we’ve come up with a list of the fastest growing jobs in New Jersey.
Here are the top 10, and below, we’ll show you the top 100:
Okay, so really–this is pretty cool. Who would have thought, even twenty years ago, that home health aides and operations research analysts would be so in demand? Not only does this mean we’re progressing in some important areas, but it also means you might just be able to snag yourself a more secure job.

For New Jersey birders, it was the biggest news since a pink-footed goose made its Garden State debut in Washington Township six years ago. Since Jan. 21, a rare gyrfalcon – the largest falcon in the world – has been appearing almost daily at the State Line Lookout in Alpine.
“The last time you had a chance of seeing a gyrfalcon in New Jersey was 27 years ago in Sandy Hook, so this is a pretty big deal,” said Bill Boyle, author of “The Birds of New Jersey” and a leading expert on state birds. “The last one seen in Bergen County was in March 1950, in East Rutherford.”
The war rages on in North Jersey against short-term rentals made possible through companies such as Airbnb.

Residents using these services can link with folks looking for a place to stay for a night or two, or a week. And their home, or a room, essentially becomes a temporary hotel.
Due to their proximity to New York City, many residents of North Jersey counties are bringing in big bucks through the rental market. But one by one, municipalities are saying the practice has to go.
In the middle of January, Ridgewood became the latest in a growing list of Bergen County towns to ban rentals of 30 days or less.
“Upwards of $1,000 is the fine for violation of that ordinance,” said Mayor Susan Knudsen.
According to Knudsen, town officials received a number of complaints from concerned residents, disturbed by increased traffic volume and different faces and vehicles entering and leaving driveways on a weekly basis.
“We have small residential neighborhoods that were never intended to be bed and breakfasts or homes that were seconding as an inn,” she said.
Ridgewood may revisit short-term rentals in the future, Knudsen said, if proper regulations are in place.
Jersey City NJ, The New Jersey Lottery says a winning $1 million Cash4Life ticket has not been claimed and is set to expire later this month.
The ticket was purchased on Feb. 22, 2016 at EZ Market & Liquors in Jersey City. The ticket matched the following numbers: 08, 09, 10, 11 and 27. It did not match the cash ball of 04.
Anyone holding the ticket should sign the back and contact lottery headquarters or have it validated by a lottery retailer asap.
Ridgewood NJ, well well well ,Bill Clinton talking illegal immigration and the problem of border control and being a nation of laws from his 1996 State of the Union which shows a striking comparison to what President Donald Trump has been saying about the subject.
Ridgewood NJ, According to the Ridgewood police on January 27, patrol units responded to the intersection of East Ridgewood Avenue and Prospect Street on a report of a motor vehicle accident involving two pedestrians. Upon patrol’s arrival at the scene, two pedestrians had been struck while attempting to cross Prospect Street along the south curb of East Ridgewood Avenue. The pedestrians were struck by a silver colored Acura driven by 56-year-old female from Ramsey, N.J. Pedestrian #1, 55-year-old female was treated at the scene and refused further medical attention. Pedestrian #2, a 63-year-old male reported he did not sustain any injures from the collision and refused medical treatment. The driver of the motor vehicle was issued a summons for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
Ridgewood NJ, according to the Ridgewood Police a Waldwick, N.J. resident reported he was admitted and treated at the Valley Hospital emergency room on January 27 where he became the victim of theft. The victim reported while being treated he was asked to remove an 18 karat gold bracelet from his wrist and he complied. The victim reported upon being discharged the bracelet, valued at $1500, was never returned to him.
Ridgewood NJ, according to the Ridgewood police a 38-year-old male from Ridgewood, N.J. was arrested on January 29 and charged with criminal attempt, theft of moveable property and possession of burglary tools after Ptl. Raymond Tarino observed the man attempting to utilize burglary tools to remove a locked bicycle from the train station fence. The arrestee was transported to headquarters, processed and served with a complaint summons.
Agreed on the criteria listed for governance of the FAC, but the post above seems to be a deliberate attempt to mislead people. The FAC is NOT a financial decision body and does not make binding decisions. Their sole purpose is to offer independent, expert advice to the Council members on financial matters including budgeting, municipal tax policy, contract negotiations, and long-term financial planning for capital improvements to the Village. Ridgewood has many talented residents with financial, tax, contract law and budgeting experience. These people are tax paying residents just like all of us and are willing to volunteer their time to give their advice on how the Council can make better financial decisions on behalf of all taxpayers. Why wouldn’t Council members want this?
The sharing economy is here to stay no matter what anyone says. Our kids will take self-drive uber cars to work and play, and stay at Air BnB shared accommodations on business trips and holidays. The fact that Ridgewood isn’t a destination probably means it never takes off here anyway, but luddites rule in NJ and Ridgewood. Tesla’s online sales model was banned because it messes with car dealers, uber is a threat to cabbies, and Air BnB threatens hotels. Why aren’t we asking what is wrong with the conventional wisdom on these issues instead of the immediate reaction to block change?
I agree with the contributors that said Valley was a great source of UNPAID work for the local fire and police. They were constantly being called to Valley for false fire alarms (did they ever get charged after two as a Village resident would be?) And the police and firetrucks suddenly pulling out in order to rush to Valley were in a much greater number at a time than the ambulances. Also, the police and fire had to close and guard the Graydon back parking lot every time an emergency (usually heart) patient was helicoptered in. Valley took all of this for free and made no payments in lieu of taxes. I am sure that Valley contributed in some ways to the community (supporting baseball and other teams for example) but not as much as they cost the town. It’s only in the past few years that we have not collected their garbage and recyclables for free as well. And I’ve certainly seen the town trucks clearing their parking lot and roadways before turning to do the town itself. And they are not far away when they move, as well as maintaining a full (probably no in lieu of taxes with it either) facility at their original spot.
Paid $750 last year for a resident parking pass. Always found a parking spot at the either the Train Station, Chestnut or Hudson lots. Bought a $1000 RPP this year to have the same available lot options. Have yet been able to find spots in any of those lots since many of the spaces are now for shoppers. I am relegated to parking at the municipal lot on Walnut which is the furthest from the station. The plan to convert spaces from commuter to shopper spots was never brought up when I wrote my check in December. If this is the strategy going forward I guess we will have to vote in favor of a parking garage.

Could social media be making people more anti-social?
Many people who use social media may go to desperate lengths to receive “likes” from followers, the study found.
The social media boom continues to make it easier than ever to stay in touch with loved ones in real time. But with the flourishing of new technology and the ability to be connected to anyone and everyone at any time, real-life human interactions could be suffering a heavy blow.
A recent global study conducted by Kasperksy Lab reveals that social media users are interacting less face-to-face than in the past because of this newfound ability to constantly communicate and stay in touch online. In the study, researchers found that about one-third of people communicate less with their parents (31%), partners (23%), children (33%) and friends (35%) because they can simply follow them on social media. This may be doing more harm than good, in a world where editing one’s life to make it appear perfect is more appealing than naturally existing.
“Under certain circumstances they perceive their online communication as ‘hyper-personal communication’ and thus they can misread and over-interpret the messages on social media,” said Dr. Astrid Carolus, Media Psychologist at the University of Würzburg. “We feel especially close, we blind out the rather negative, focus on the possible positive intentions behind a message, and over-interpret.”
The study was conducted between October and November of last year among 16,750 participants, split evenly between men and women at least 16 years old from 18 countries, each of whom was surveyed online.
