    #Map The house at 702 Vermont Street in Brooklyn doesn’t stand out. It’s one in a series of two-story brick houses that extends the length of its block in East New York. Like many of its neigh- bors, the house has a narrow, fenced front yard leading to a few stairs and a porch that has been enclosed and incorpo- rated into the house. Trees partially screen its tan vinyl sid- ing and blue cornice. After picking up the kids at Public School 213, you might drive right past it without noticing as you pulled up to the Jonathan Massey light at New Lots Avenue. Syracuse University Open Trulia or another real estate app on your phone, though, and you’ll Brett Snyder learn a lot about the house, including the fact that while the current owner University of California, Davis bought it in 2007 for $424,500 and the house is taxed based on an assessed value of $384,000, its estimated market price is $286,000. There’s a good chance this house is underwater, mortgaged at a value that far exceeds its market value. Indeed, plug in the address at NYC CityMap, the GIS-based portal for municipal information and public records, and you’ll see that when the current owner bought the house five years ago, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. (MERS) recorded a primary mortgage of $339,600 and a secondary loan of $84,900. A year and a half later, the company assigned one of the mortgages to Countrywide Home Loans.

    Are you saying there’s an original sin? The Mughrabi True, there is. Deal with it. Quarter Digital – Meron Benvenisti (2013) Archive and the Few spaces are more emblematic of Jerusalem today than the Western Virtual Illés Relief Wall Plaza, yet few people – including Initiative Palestinian and Israeli residents of Jerusalem alike – are aware of the Maryvelma Smith O’Neil destruction of the old Mughrabi Quarter that literally laid the groundwork for its very creation. For the longue durée of almost eight centuries, the Mughrabi Quarter of Jerusalem had been home to Arabs from North Africa, Andalusia, and Palestine. However, within two days after the 1967 War (10–12 June 1967), the historic neighborhood, located in the city’s southeast corner near the western wall of the Noble Sanctuary (al-Haram al-Sharif), was completely wiped off the physical map by the State of Israel – in flagrant violation of Article 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which stipulates: Any destruction by the Occupying Power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons, or to the State, or to other public authorities, or to social or cooperative organizations, is prohibited, except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations.1 Two decades prior to the Mughrabi Quarter demolition, Jerusalem’s designation as a “corpus separatum” had been intended to depoliticize the city through internationalization, under [ 52 ] Mughrabi Quarter & Illés Relief Initiative | Maryvelma Smith O’Neil Figure 1.

  • The Tea Party: a Party Within a Party a Dissertation Submitted to The
    The Tea Party: A Party Within a Party A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Rachel Marie Blum, M.A. Washington, DC March 22, 2016 Copyright c 2016 by Rachel Marie Blum All Rights Reserved ii The Tea Party: A Party Within a Party Rachel Marie Blum, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Hans Noel, Ph.D. Abstract It is little surprise that conservatives were politically disaffected in early 2009, or that highly conservative individuals mobilized as a political movement to protest ‘big government’ and Obama’s election. Rather than merely directing its animus against liberals, the Tea Party mobilized against the Republican Party in primaries and beyond. This dissertation draws from original survey, interview, Tea Party blog, and social network datasets to explain the Tea Party’s strategy for mobilization as a ‘Party within a Party’. Integrating new data on the Tea Party with existing theories of political parties, I show that the Tea Party’s strategy transcends the focused aims of a party faction. Instead, it works to co-opt the Republican Party’s political and electoral machinery in order to gain control of the party. This dissertation offers new insights on the Tea Party while developing a theory of intra-party mobilization that endures beyond the Tea Party. Index words: Dissertations, Government, Political Science, Political Parties, Tea Party iii Dedication To M.L.B., and all others who are stronger than they know.

Anti-Semitic Bigotry : A Retrospective As Chronicled By Historical Medals 2 BIGOT A person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance. Merriam Webster.com 2013 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND hile prejudice exists towards many religious and ethnic groups (Endnote 1), over the ages bigoted acts against the Jews have been among the most prevalent, severe and unrelenting. W This intolerance has manifested itself from the relatively inconsequential, such as slurs, insults and distribution of anti-Semitic paraphernalia (Eisler, 2014), to the devastating, including confiscation of property, expulsion from countries, and mass slaughter. Volumes have been written about anti-Semitism and its effects, but the question still remains as to the root causes of anti-Semitic attitudes: Why have they existed for centuries? and How have they been passed on from generation to generation? This article will attempt to examine this issue using historical medals as a backdrop and primary source of information.

  • Temporary Exhibitions
    [email protected] TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS “My Cup of Kafka… ” Drawings, Prints and Paintings by Jiří Slíva The very popular exhibition of work by the graphic artist and illustrator Jiří Slíva at the Jewish Museum’s Robert Guttmann Gallery came to a close on 27 January 2019. Over the course of 11 months, it was seen by as many as 52,274 visitors. On view were a number of drawings, colour lithographs, etchings, pastels and several oil paintings on Slíva’s favourite subjects – Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud, the Golem, Jewish customs and symbols and biblical motifs, as well as other works inspired by Jewish writers. Jaroslav Róna – "Drawings from Elsewhere…" On Wednesday 6 March 2019, the Robert Guttmann Gallery hosted a preview of a new exhibition of work by the artist Jaroslav Róna (b. 1957), a founding member of the famous Czech art group Tvrdohlaví (The Stubborn). The subject of this exhibition is a set of Róna’s Drawings from Elsewhere from 2012–2018, which gives us an opportunity to delve more deeply into the artist’s world and ideas. Róna works in the fields of painting, sculpture, graphic art, drawing, mosaics, set design and stained glass. His drawings are an inseparable component of his work. They are the indispensable means of recording, seeking, shaping, and formulating new ideas and myths. All of Róna’s artworks convey a story, whether from the distant past or some future world, or whether about an entire civilization or an individual life. In this way, they differ from the purely visual or aesthetic visions of modern art concepts.
