Istanbul and Lisbon: How Diffrent They Are? Curious Cities Nº1 MAY 2015 ISTANBUL AND LISBON: HOW DIFFRENT THEY ARE? EDITORIAL Starting a new project is always something nice, but at the same time stressful. You need to define a name, something that takes days to think, and then get an image, some- thing that takes time to do. Writing about cities may seem easy, but if the goal is to be diverse and have good content the task be- comes more difficult. But challanges is what journalism is made from and to overcome those challenges is our job. The Curious Cities aims to be a different bet in the travel segment. Combining the history of the sites, with the similarities and differences between two cities is always special . Prepares people for what they will find in the various spaces taking into account what they already know. This is our challenge and this is our goal. In the first edition we will be able to learn more about two cities that are in Europe extremes. Lisbon (Portugal) and Istanbul (Turkey), as you will be able to see, have much in com- mon. Have fun on this trip, Rodrigo Fernandes Curious Cities 3 Here it is not only at 5pm Tea plantation in the Azores The distance between Ribeira Grande, in the Azores, and Istanbul is 4632.97 Km and apparently these two cities have nothing in common. But it is on the Portuguese city were the two only tea factories in Europe are located. The Fábrica da Gorreana began it’s production of tea in 1883, while the Fá- brica do Porto Formoso began its production in 1920. These two factories produce more than 40 tons of tea a year, and this tea is moustrly consumed in Portugal, USA and the UK. And why does this have to do with Istanbul? The answer is simple, Turkey is the world leader in tea consumption, with a total of 6.87 kg per capita equivalent to about 1600 cups per year, ie 3-4 per day. Of the approximately 515 tons 25 235 666 drinks in the country are produced in Turkey, which makes this Eurasian country being the world’s fifth largest tea producer. In Turkey the most famous area is Rize, a region which is in the north of the country in the Black Sea region. To be aware, in Portugal the average is 0092 kg and in the World 0:57 kg. But let’s see what is the main difference in tea consuption between the Portuguese and the Turks. Curious Cities 4 Tea in Turkey has the same function as the coffee in Portugal, namely the wake of the person and keep active. On the other hand, in Portugal, tea is more commonly used as a way of interaction and and by older pe- ople, as well as for therapeutic purposes. The most popular kind of tea is black tea, it has strong featured and drinking it with sugar is almoust mandatory. But there are other variations like the Kiwi or Apple tea. One of the moust interesting things about tea is the container used to drink it. In Portugal, and almoust all around the World, tea is drinked with in a cup, but in Turkey there are characteristic glasses. But back Traditional tea glass in Turkey to the Azorean tea in the past there have been attempts to take it to Turkey, but those attemps have failed due to the high cost of expor- ting tea there, and because it would not be sustainable on the turkish market. Now you know. If you go to Turkey and go to a café, do not ask for a co- ffee, ask for a tea. And if you do order a coffee, you will be served with another turkish speciality, but that is for another article. Curious Cities 5 Istambul and Lisbon: Diffrent or equal? Istanbul and Lisbon flags Istanbul and Lisbon, two very different cities, but at the same time very equal. These two cities beginning and end Europe, are two very cosmo- politan centers and the biggest cities of each country, even if Istambul isn’t the capital of Turkey, unlike many people think. The turkish capital is Ankara. Let’s begin with a short presentation of each city starting with Istanbul. Istanbul is Europe’s largest city and is also the only one that is divided in two continents (Europe and Asia). With over 16 million habitants this Turkish city has been known by other names – Byzantium and Cons- tantinople – and has much history and culture everywhere, from the time of Byzantium, through the Roman Empire and Ottoman and now with Turkey. Lisbon also has a lot of history and culture to tell its visitors. The Portu- guese capital was the capital of the world during the 15th century to 17, when Portugal ruled the waves and had the sea route to India with the lucrative market of spices. In 1755 an earthquake followed by a tsunami and a fire almost destroyed the city which has lost much of its history. Curious Cities 6 But the recovery made the city more organizes, with the Baixa de Pom- bal, and made it gain more experiences. Currently it has about 550 thousand habitants. The population and all that this entails, is precisely the great difference between the two cities. The fastest way to go from one to the other city is through the Turkish Airlines that makes two daily flights from each one. Sultanahmet was built from 1609 to 1616 Religion Let us start discovering each city. A person who arrives to both of the- se cities will emideatly notice many mosques in Istanbul and Chur- ches in Lisbon. Reli- gious worship is something that is well placed in the culture of each of the- se two cities, even though it has been decreasing in recent times, es- pecially in Lisbon. Walking through Istanbul will defini tely be a good experience. You will hear Ezan five times a day, indica- ting the time to pray. These hours change from day to day and have to do with the sun’s position. If a Friday you are wa- lking around a mosque at noon do not be surprised to find many people outside it to pray. Whenever you visit a mosque, be sure to go well composed not using armhole sleeves or shorts / skirt / short dress; but if you are using this type of clothing do not worry the entry will have scarves to cover. To enter the mosque also will have to take off; Finally and only for women is also necessary to cover their hair. Curious Cities 7 Lisbon despite the many churches there is a great bustle around the same, only on Sundays is a larger movement. To enter the same there is no special care to have, but during the time of the Mass is not advisable to visit. As a final curiosity in Istanbul there are some churches with special empha- sis on both the Istiklal Avenue; In Lisbon there is one mosque, and planes for the construction of a second one. Food This is perhaps the strength of each city. In either case there is a huge varie- ty of all kinds of food. In Istanbul the strong point is the Kebab, there hun- dreds of different ways to prepare this type of meat. As is known, the pork can not be consumed by Muslims, so it is virtually impossible to find it for sale. Another of the most popular dishes and more presence on the streets is the Balik Ekmek, or fish in bread, which as the name implies is a sandwi- ch with fish that adds lettuce and onions. Yogurt is also a constant presence in many dishes, including soups. Also very sold on the streets is the Simit, a type of bread with toasted seeds. When it comes to drinks Ayran is king. This drink that combines yogurt with water and salt is often used due to spicy which is used in foods. In the street is also common to find natural juice sellers of Orange and Po- megranate. Tea (çay) is also very popular in cafes, as you can saw in pages 4 and 5; as mentioned in the article on tea, coffee in Istanbul (and Turkey) is different, being called Turkish coffee. This coffe is joined with the dregs, and in the end, it is traditional to Traditional portuguese steak read people’s future with this sludge. When it comes to alcoholic drinks Raki reigns. This Turkish drink made by anise and grape needs water to be added in order to be drinked. The candies are also something very famous and easy to find throughout the city, the most characteristic are the baklavas in its various flavors. Curious Cities 8 By the Lisbon seafood restaurants and breweries are the spaces with more fame. Eat fresh seafood or a steak is something easy to find. The codfish, cooked in many different ways, is present in almost all places, as well as all kinds of fish. Selling food in the street is not very com mon, but a Bifana, especially in big events, is not too hard to find. When it comes to the more traditional drinks is there is the Portuguese wine, but if you walk the in the streets of Lisbon, you will also find several shops selling ginginha, a drink made on the basis of Ginja. When it comes to sweets there is the Pastel de Nata and the Pastel de Belem wich are the most famous and go very well with a cup of coffee.

Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main St, Malden, MA, 02148, USA THEORY OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: THE UNIFICATION OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL John Vroomann Abstract European football is in a spiral of intra-league and inter-league polarization of talent and wealth. The invariance proposition is revisited with adaptations for win- maximizing sportsman owners facing an uncertain Champions League prize. Sportsman and champion effects have driven European football clubs to the edge of insolvency and polarized competition throughout Europe. Revenue revolutions and financial crises of the Big Five leagues are examined and estimates of competitive balance are compared. The European Super League completes the open-market solution after Bosman. A 30-team Super League is proposed based on the National Football League. In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. FSartre I Introduction The beauty of the world’s game of football lies in the dynamic balance of symbiotic competition. Since the English Premier League (EPL) broke away from the Football League in 1992, the EPL has effectively lost its competitive balance. The rebellion of the EPL coincided with a deeper media revolution as digital and pay-per-view technologies were delivered by satellite platform into the commercial television vacuum created by public television monopolies throughout Europe. EPL broadcast revenues have exploded 40-fold from h22 million in 1992 to h862 million in 2005 (33% CAGR).

The tea, served in tulip-shaped glasses, should be piping hot, clear and bright. WThe ideal colour is described as rabbit-blood red, which makes sense when you see it. “The clarity and colour are most import- ant,” Gonca Karakoc explains as we huddle under the brick arch of a 16th-century cara- vanserai. “If it’s cloudy it has been too long on the stove and will have a bitter aftertaste.” Kursunlu Han is one of hundreds of cara- vanserais (hans) still found around Istanbul, if you know where to look. Thanks to Karakoc, our guide on a Culinary Backstreets tour of the food-obsessed Turkish capital, we do. Hamburg-born and Istanbul-raised — “I see the city like you do, as an outsider, but I can explain it as an insider” — she is both gastro- nome and cultural interpreter on a day-long binge spanning both shores of the Bosphorus. We meet in Karakoy beneath the Roman- esque Galata Tower on a chilly Saturday morning. With her fine features, gamine-cut red hair and theatrical personality, Karakoc reminds me of Shirley MacLaine. “You will see!” she cries as we set off through the alleyways of Turkey’s biggest hardware market, Persembe Pazari. “There will be no elegant restaurants. We will be eat- ing very simple local foods. We want you to have a real, personal experience.” After our quick “commuter breakfast” at Kursunlu Han of tea and simit, the chewy Turkish bagels glazed with grape molasses much needed pick-me-up, Turkish coffee, and and crusted in sesame seeds, we head to the more insights into local lore.

  • 1 Introduction the General Experiences of Australian Prisoners
    Introduction The general experiences of Australian prisoners of war in World War I have been neglected in both official and general war histories and accounts of the Anzac tradition. Even more neglected however are the experiences of Australian soldiers captured in theatres of war throughout the Ottoman Empire, including those captured at Gallipoli. Most examples of prisoner of war (POW) writing have concentrated on World War II POWs and the Japanese experience in particular.1 In the Australian War Memorial’s (AWM) collection dealing with Australian war captivity, for example, almost two thirds are concerned with World War II prisoners of the Japanese. Only ‘a tiny one percent’ is devoted to prisoners of the Turks.2 In the event that prisoners of war in Turkey are acknowledged, few sources are consulted. Selected memoirs and autobiographies are used uncritically without corroboration of other historical sources, particularly Turkish sources, to produce an overall picture of unrelieved brutality. It has been suggested that this historical neglect of prisoners of war can be explained by their representations of military failure, creating a sense of national shame. The fact that they have been captured suggests failure of leadership and planning at the highest level and also calls into question ‘the notion which has long been central to our national self-image, that our soldiers are especially competent fighters’.3 It is noteworthy in this context that the source of the Anzac tradition – the Gallipoli campaign – has not produced a scholarly study of the 1 See the following for an assessment of writers on prisoners of war (hereafter POWs): R.

  • Soccer, Stock Returns and Fanaticism: Evidence from Turkey
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com The Social Science Journal 46 (2009) 594–600 Research note Soccer, stock returns and fanaticism: Evidence from Turkey M. Hakan Berument a,∗, Nildag Basak Ceylan b, Gulin Ogut-Eker c a Department of Economics, Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey b Department of Management, Atilim University, Ankara, Turkey c Department of Turkish Language and Literature, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey Abstract This paper assesses the effect of three major soccer teams’ wins on the returns of the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). We argue that the effect of soccer wins on ISE returns increases with the fanaticism of the teams’ supporters. © 2009 Western Social Science Association. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction This paper reports the estimates of an empirical exercise that ties the success of Turkey’s three major soccer1 teams (Bes¸iktas¸, Fenerbahc¸e and Galatasaray), each having a more or less equal number of fans across the country, to stock market returns by using the daily data from Turkey from July 3, 1987 to November 10, 2006. The hypothesis that we tested in this paper is whether the returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) can be associated with the wins of teams and the strength of the emotional ties that supporters who happen to be brokers/traders have to their teams. To be specific, we are concerned with three questions: (i) Are the wins of the three soccer teams associated with higher returns? (ii) Are the returns different, depending on which team won? (iii) Are these returns tied to the fanaticism of the fans of these three teams? In behavioral finance, emotional and visceral factors are often considered important deter- minants of asset pricing (see Stracca, 2004).
