Washington
Heights and Inwood are far safer places to live in Manhattan than
Greenwich Village and the Meatpacking District, according to a new
survey.
DNAinfo.com’s Crime & Safety Report,
which ranks every New York City neighborhood for per capita crime,
found that high property crime rates are dragging down Greenwich
Village, which came in at 68th of 69 neighborhoods for overall safety.
Only midtown, with its high density of tourists and commuters, had a worse per capita crime ranking than the Village and the Meatpacking District.
Northern Manhattan fared much better than its southern counterparts.
Inwood
and Washington Heights are the third and fourth safest neighborhoods in
Manhattan and 23rd and 24th safest in the five boroughs, respectively.
East Harlem, Central Harlem and West Harlem also have much lower per
capita crime than the Village.
“There
were precincts I studied in the past, such as Washington Heights, where
I was told to wear a bulletproof vest when I went on a ride with the
police,” said Thomas Reppetto, author of “The NYPD: A City and Its
Police” and the former president of the nonprofit Citizens Crime
Commission.
“That tells you … how much it has changed now,” he added.
Property
crime is by far the neighborhood’s biggest concern. Factor out those
offenses, and the Village’s ranking rises to No. 32 -- still below
Inwood and Washington Heights.
“We do have a really hardcore criminal element down there,” said Terri Howell, vice president of the Christopher Street Patrol.
That
includes gang activity, she said, noting that the most common crimes
Howell finds in the Village include noise, fights, and drug and alcohol
use.
The interactive report, which used the NYPD’s CompStat database and 2010 Census statistics, also
found that murders, rapes and robberies are on the rise citywide.

Laptops & ‘Toasted Skin Syndrome’
Laptops Can Cause
"Toasted Skin Syndrome"
"Toasted Skin Syndrome"
(EAI, also known as hot water bottle rash, fire stains, laptop thigh, and toasted skin syndrome) is a skin condition caused by long-term exposure to heat (infrared radiation).
Keeping the heated surface of the laptop against your skin for extended periods of time can cause ‘toasted skin syndrome’ . In this syndrome, skin develops a patch which is mottled (caused by local hemostasis – stagnation of blood) and later becomes reticulated erythema (patchy striped erythema) leaving behind pigmentation.

Toasted Skin
Syndrome is clinically known as Erythema Ab Igne and commonly known by various names such as ‘laptop thigh’ and ‘hot water bottle rash’ . People who spend prolonged periods of time studying, reading , or playing games on laptops resting on their upper legs could develop this skin syndrome. The same condition is found among people often exposed to heat while working (blacksmiths, silversmiths, cooks, etc).

Riddle 😊
😊 Riddle 😁
If you can not figure it out...
check below...
Which answer do you like best?
? ? ? ?
1. Fault is in the presentation.
Why was $2 added to $27?
The
room cost 25 and tip 2 gives the 27.
? ? ? ?
2. The calculation should be 27 (total money paid) +3 money
returned to the guys.
And not 27+2
? ? ? ?
3. The room is 25 so what the guys get back totals 28 not 27
you started from the wrong number its 26, 27, 28
you started from the wrong number its 26, 27, 28
? ? ? ?
4. The extra 1 goes to the 1 reception and pay ball back
? ? ? ?
5. You have to subtract the 2 dollars not add them:
30 - 3 - 2 = 25.
