The 234 Apartment

Walking around Borough Park must feel, to some, like time travel. Residents of the southwest Brooklyn neighborhood are predominantly Orthodox Jews , whose 18th-century traditions still govern everything from custody disputes to attire. In “Menashe,” filmmaker Joshua Z Weinstein turns his camera on this community, using non-actors to create a tender portrait of family. In addition to the fascinating everyday details of these characters’ lives, at the film’s moving core is a loving father who is struggling to negotiate the gap between community expectations and self-determination. The title character (played by real- life grocer Menashe Lustig ) is a gregarious, oafish type who can’t seem to catch a break. After his wife, Leah, passed away, his young son, Rieven (Ruben Niborski), has gone to live with Leah’s brother Eizik (Yoel Weisshaus), in keeping with tradition. The reasoning? According to Hasidic culture , a home is incomplete without a woman to raise children and tidy the househo

A man wanted in connection to the December 2015 shooting death of a paraplegic man in Algiers was captured over the weekend in Houston, more than 20 months after the murder, New Orleans police said.  Jeren Johnson , 25, was killed Dec. 6, 2015, while riding in the passenger seat of his friend's car, according to NOPD and Johnson's mother, Tancy Johnson.

By Wednesday night, ten days later, dozens of Forest Hills residents , led by community activist Octavia Rainey , drew a notable crowd to a meeting in a Garner church on the issue. And action at the federal and local level was underway to help residents who had been dismayed by their imminent removal. “To have done us this way was inhumane to us,” sixteen- year Forest Hills resident Janice Williams said during the meeting. Those who showed up included an aide to U.S. Representative David Price , six of the seven Wake County commissioners , the chair of

WALTHAM — The massive fire that destroyed a big apartment complex under construction in Waltham in July was caused by arson, investigators said Thursday, with damages estimated at $110 million. Initially, fire officials had said they did not believe the 10-alarm fire was suspicious. But once they began investigating the charred remains in detail, they began to rethink the cause, Fire Chief Paul Ciccone said. Advertisement “We systematically eliminated all possible causes,” said the state’s fire marshal, Peter J. Ostroskey. “That led us to this point.” The blaze began in the early morning on Sunday, July 23, and demolished the five-building complex on Cooper Street near the Charles River. The 264 units were scheduled to open next year. Get Fast Forward in your inbox: Forget yesterday's news. Get what you need today in this early-morning email.

By Phillip Garjay Innis What lessons can African countries learn from Sierra Leone ’s devastating mudslides? Was the disaster due to natural events or is there a social dimension? Is there anything such as a ‘ natural disaster ’? What can be done to reduce risks? On August 14, 2017, torrential rainfall caused a hillside to collapse in Sierra Leone ’s capital city. This torrential downpour triggered mudslides that killed hundreds of residents and destroyed properties. As of August 19, 2017, the death toll is placed at 467, with approximately 600 still missing. Heavy rainfall is not a strange phenomenon in Sierra Leone . The country experiences heavy annual rainfall and is  ranked 12th globally  in annual precipitation by rainfall. Sierra Leone received  over 2,500 mm of rain from 2013 to 2017, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). Sierra Leone is therefore familiar with heavy rainfall . Torrential downpours are common in August and September. The country has

The Memphis housing market shows signs of a recovery as home sales improve month after month. Yet foreclosures still bring about the best investment opportunities, especially in the multifamily sector as the general economic trend continues to favor renting rather than buying.

The Class A community was bought for $18.2 million from Harris P. Quinn of Prochaska Thompson Quinn & Ferraro PC, in a substitute trustee’s sale following a foreclosure, according to the Daily News .

HOUSTON - Houston Police discovered a kush lab inside of an apartment in west Houston early Friday morning . Residents of the Summervale apartments in the 9200 block of Pagewood Lane called the fire department because of an odd chemical smell coming from one of the apartments. Both Houston Fire and Houston Police responded to the scene and, upon entering the apartment, found chemicals and equipment commonly used to make kush. Special Agents with the Texas Department of Public Safety were called in to assist with the investigation. No one was at the apartment at the time, and no arrests have been made.
