More than a thousand people -- some Jewish, some not -- gathered in a Beverly Hills synagogue Tuesday night with several purposes: to mourn, to remember and to come together for strength.

The memorial was held at the Beth Jacob Congregation in honor of three Israeli teenagers who were kidnapped and killed while hitchhiking home from school last month. Their bodies were found in a West Bank field Monday, 18 days after the teens went missing, and they were buried the following day.

As we grieve, we must remember: We are people of light, people of hope, said Israeli Consul General David Siegel.

Behind Siegel, photographs of the victims -- 16-year-old Naftali Frenkel, 16-year-old Eyal Yifrah and 19-year-old Gil-Ad Shaer -- were both printed and projected on a screen. Three lighted candles, one for each victim, rested on a table.

Shaer's aunt, Leehy Shaer, lives in Los Angeles and spoke at the memorial.

"It wasn't supposed to be like this," she began, acknowledging the shock and grief she and her family are experiencing.

"When I found out it was true, the horror of the terrorists shook my entire body," she said.Israel has accused the Palestinian militant group Hamas of the killings and is seeking two of its activists who disappeared the same day as the three teens.

But Leehy Shaer also emphasized the strength of the Jewish people and their determination to fight against terrorism.

Terrorists "don't realize life is our strength, and we will not be broken," she said, the rest of her words drowned out by applause.

Each speaker emphasized how tragedy had brought people together, creating solidarity both among Jews and non-Jews.

The city has shelled out thousands of dollars a month since 2009 to rent sidewalk sheds to protect pedestrians from construction outside a Brooklyn courthouse even though work has yet to start.

In five years, we havent seen a soul doing any work. Its a shame all that money sitting out there, groused a courthouse veteran.

I wouldnt mind if work was being done, but nothing. Its sad, but thats the way the city does business.

The Department of Citywide Administrative Services first informed courthouse workers in a memo in February 2009 that sidewalk shedding will be installed around building ... for approximately two months.

The city then began paying a scaffolding company $2,862 monthly for the sheds outside the downtown entrances to Brooklyns supreme court for civil matters.

After 64 months, the tab is now more than $180,000 yet none of the planned facade repair work has even started at 360 Adams St.

DCAS spokeswoman Julianne Cho said the job still has to be officially transferred to another city agency, the Department of Design and Construction, before work can actually begin. That should happen sometime this year, she said.

The shedding was erected in 2009 per [the law] to protect the public, in preparation for facade repair and cleaning, Cho said. Since that time, funding has been obtained and design work completed for the intended repairs.

The project involves cleaning and repairing the buildings exterior, mortar, and window supports, Cho said.

Sheds at risk during summer

Updated 2:58pm Monday 30th June 2014 in News

WITH summer finally here, people are being urged to lock up their sheds as criminals set their sights on the valuables left inside.

Gloucestershire police is urging homeowners to get sheducated and protect both high and low value items as scores of shed thefts take place each year.

Many of these thefts are avoidable with a little security awareness, with harm reduction advisor for Gloucestershire Police, Kim Mowday, saying she urged everyone to be on their guard.

Bicycles, for example, left unlocked in insecure sheds are often thought to be secure by their owners due to the privacy of the location, she said.

Unfortunately this isnt the case - thieves will jump over garden walls and snatch anything they see.

Whilst we are doing all we can to catch thieves and reduce these crimes there are a lot of things you can do to keep your property secure and stop thieves striking.

She added bikes were not safe unprotected either, as thieves throw them back across the wall and then taken them away.

Advice includes replacing wood screws with easily obtainable 'coach bolts' or security screws and fixing security padlocks.

The grim reality of Britain's housing crisis has been laid bare by these pictures of the slum-like conditions endured by the most desperate people in UK society.

For just 20 per week, migrant workers and jobless locals live in 'beds in sheds' - windowless garages and outhouses turned into an austere living space.

The images were taken in the Whetley Hill area of Bradford, West Yorkshire, by a builder who was horrified that people are forced to live in such a degrading manner.
