New York'ta Suc Oranlari Dustu Ancak Suca Kar1san ve Vurulanlar Siyahi ve Latin Kokenli

Ali Cinar - 3 Aralik 2012-New York 2000'lerdan önce sokaklarında adam öldürülen New York, bugün ABD'nin en güvenli büyük şehirlerinin başında geliyor. Peki, New York nasıl güvenli halde suanda? Güvenlik sağlanırken, insan hakları ihmal edildi. Polis sert uygulamalarıyla suçlulara göz açtırmazken, vatandaş olup bitenden pek de şikayetçi değil. "Yalnız başına yürüyen kadın bir parktan geçmektedir. Takip edildiğini hisseder.dönüp baktığında kimse yoktur; ama ayak seslerini duymaktadır. İkinci kez döndüğünde takipçisinin kim olduğunu göremeden, kalbine bıçağı yer."

The Top 10 Most Expensive Cities In America

New Yorkers may complain about paying $1,500 a month for a shoebox-sized apartment, but as it turns out, they don't have it so bad. New York is nowhere near the top of the list of least-affordable cities for moderate-income households, defined as those making 50 to 100 percent of that area's median income, according to a new study by the Center for Housing Policy and the Center for Neighborhood Technology. The groups compiled the list by calculating the share of income a middle-class household spends on transportation and housing. The study shows that top three most expensive cities for the middle class are Miami, FL; Riverside, CA and Tampa, FL, where the average middle-class household is spending more than 65 percent of their income on housing and transportation.

Jews of Salonica and the Jewish Cemetery

A tomb at Selanica Hortaci Mosque.

By Neval Konuk
Jews had no more than a walk-on role in the story of modern Greece’s appearance on the international stage. Even as late as 1912, Jews made up the largest ethnic group in Salonica, Greece; and, Saturdays, which is the day of Shabbat, used to be a holiday on the pier. A few Jews were wealthy businessmen; however, many others were porters, tailors, street vendors, beggars, fishers, and workers in the tobacco business. The marks remaining from those days to our times are the gravestones with inscribed with Hebrew writing, which are scattered around.
