New York to solve the homeless - one-way ticket

You can attend free of charge where the If. Pick and city, and summer, and the continent, which is optional. All expenses shall be borne by me, just go ...

These offers - the dream that millions of people around the world and which usually receive a "star" for the promotion of products or izlobirani politicians - these days people come to "a dog does not what to bite."

Competent assure that migration costs in the second at the end to be less than the maintenance nesrećnika and nutrition, but a "grubby" cashew "Big Apple" and reduce the social benefits megalopolis, from which the origin Volstrita current global economic crisis. "Paying their way to save expenses of our citizens," je Blumberg.

Calculation is: jevtinije is iseljavati homeless persons, but to worry about them in prihvatilištima. Next: For 550 "transferred" families have been paid 500,000 dollars, and support only one of a total of 10,000 such families, it costs 36,000 dollars a year.

Quite a savings, but the application of mottos like "Skip to my care to another," Arnold Cohen assess the humanitarian New York Partnership for homeless persons. "Our governments undertake only superficial measures that SELE problems in remote areas, and local lodging in the receptacle for the new release the needy," said "New York Times."

But "anything better than nothing", sent the city fathers.

" "Paying them not only for the time, but for visas, passports, help in konzularnoj procedures," said Vida-Dauns caves from specialized offices. Officials also claim that the former "protégés" continue to be care and after - the phone and called them raspituju how are dočekani and how to manage where they went, and in rare cases and give them financial support for a new start. " None of somewhere not sent back here, say. "We expect something better than going there where we came," ispovedio the Ektor Korea, who with partner and their two small sons returned to Puerto Rico. In New York City came in May, smestio with his mother, but when you do not find a job and when their debts arose, the mother was asked to go out of her apartment, and they went in prihvatilište ...

From prihvatilišta usually goes, they say, in Florida. Maybe because it najsunčanije region, which is the charm that over fears of hurricane season and the television reporters Advisories En-Bi-Si that the inhabitants of the southern peninsula, "the classified najnetrpeljivije to homeless persons."

New York is considered as a prescription prospective model in other parts of the United States. Hawaii rejected it as "expensive", and the second is closely preračunavaju.

It is estimated that every day, across America, in prihvatilištima resident about 700,000 people who are permanently or temporarily without a roof over my head. Statistics also show that adverse experience of a year to acquire three and a half million souls, and to experience life in about 15 million from a total of 305 million citizens. Current crisis, conceived lomom the housing mortgage market, increase the "caravans" to Emergency accommodation, which are many - their cars converted into mobile homes.

Tip to the north of Europe is running low

Sometimes the hand of the person which is intended, and sometimes discretely left on the table - is the science of kickback for themselves. In each country different customs control, but if you follow a few basic rules, you can be sure that you will not find in nezgodnoj situation and will continue to provide the best place in the restaurant.

Before you go to rest, study the customs of the people in whose land you dwell, since the height of the male attention varies from country to country. Although in principle rule for the extra that is given on a voluntary basis, allocating a small fine money is a kind of guarantee that you will feel prijatnije in the restaurant when it come again. The fact is that the bonus is that the waiter all the smaller as more goes to the north of Europe. Pubs in the UK so no tip is expected. However, in Italy it is not usual to provide tip, as is the service, but charged through the account.
In other parts of Europe, however, recommended treat waiter. According to the German auto industry federation ADAC, in Scandinavia is a common tip in the amount of five percent of the bill. In Spain, France and Portugal for the round sum of 5-10 percent of the total amount of account, and also applies to payments by credit card. More than five percent of tourists to leave the Island, in Switzerland and the Netherlands - in these countries expected to tip the staff and to 15 percent. Do not you find in neprijatnoj situation, should be informed and in a country the tip, because there are differences. In Egypt, this small attention given directly to the waiter hands - the best in the bill of a dollar, because it is difficult to convert coins to domestic currency. Passengers who live in France, Spain and Turkey will proceed best if the tip discretely left on the table or saucer account. In Austria and Italy are rounded to the sum of the note in the line. "
However, with the fee should not be preterivati. Especially in Southern Europe and the peninsula Arabijskom people are inclined to seek compensation for the smallest minutiae. For information on the way should not give anything, but if you stay in a hotel or restaurant, keep in mind that the fee contributes to the increase is often very modest income catering workers.

Every fifth agent for employment in the UK has experienced this spring verbal bullying dismissed jalovoj candidates for a new job.

Before the summer vacation, the employee in the West are faced with "indecently offers employers," that would - before breaking out of the global economic crisis, trade unions organized mass strikes.

Waiting on the global renaissance of air travel, "British Airways is the sixth day of employees (a total of 40,000 people) offered to take unpaid leave for an indefinite period of time, to accept less than the working time (and corresponding salary), or agree to work without benefits: 800 already agreed to work for free.

A few minutes after the Prime Minister announced the decision, the beginning of the big sale at Zagreb Stock Exchange, which resulted in the precipitous fall of the index. Sanader denied that the resignation leaves the ship to sink.
