One individual died during the trial, leading to charges against him being dropped. Among those sentenced were former police chiefs and security officials. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Representative to Turkey Erol Önderoğlu commented: “The Hrant Dink case is not over. This is the third trial and it does not comprise behind-the-scenes actors who threatened him with a statement, threw him before vi- olent groups as an object of hate or failed to act so that he would get killed.

Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

    Fishing at the Galata Bridge, Đstanbul, in 2011-2012

    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 18, No.2: 223-237 (2012) RESEARCH ARTICLE Fishing at the Galata Bridge, Đstanbul, in 2011-2012 Nao Iwano 1,2 *, Ayaka Amaha Öztürk 2,3 1Faculity of Marine Science, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Minato-ku, Tokyo, JAPAN 2Faculty of Fisheries, Istanbul University, 34470, Laleli-Istanbul, TURKEY 3Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TUDAV), 34820, Beykoz-Istanbul, TURKEY *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Galata Bridge, located at the entrance of the Gulf of Golden Horn, Istanbul, is famous for many fishermen fishing from the bridge. The Bridge was visited regularly to collect the information on the fish species and amount caught, fishing equipment, and number of fishermen from March 2011 to March 2012. Trachurus spp. , Spicara spp. and Mugil spp. were typically seen throughout the year. In addition, with seasonal change, 20 fish species were observed. The average number of fishermen was 203 per day, and the estimated total fish catch amount at the Galata Bridge was about 64 tonnes in a year. Number of fishermen found at the Galata Bridge was constant throughout the year. Fishing materials such as fishing rods, fishing lines, baits and fishing weight, were found easily available at the bridge. This is the first systematic study on the fishing and related activities at the Galata Bridge. Keywords: Galata Bridge, Golden Horn, amateur fishing, Istanbul Introduction Generally speaking, Turkish people do not consume much fish compared to the average fish consumption of the world although Turkey is surrounded by the Black Sea, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea, which is a good position to consume various fish and sea food.
