Some taunted the officers who stood guard over the encampment. Early Saturday, police in riot gear cleared an encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston. Massachusetts State Police said about 102 protesters were arrested and will be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct. Protesters said they were given about 15 minutes to disperse before being arrested. Many larger departments have increased officer pay or started offering incentives such as signing bonuses for experienced officers who are willing to transfer, something smaller departments can’t really compete with. At least a dozen smaller departments have disbanded, leaving the municipalities they once served to rely on state or county help for policing.

For a limited time, the zoo is selling $60 general admission tickets and $75 early-access tickets. Stella Artois Cidre is a crisp and refreshing European-style cider made from hand-picked apples. Orval Trappist Ale has an intensely aromatic and dry character and acquires its pronounced hoppy aroma and extra dry taste from dry-hopping. Head Hunter is an aggressively dry-hopped, West Coast-Style IPA with a huge hop display of pine, grapefruit, citrus and pineapple. A highly carbonated, medium-bodied lager that is well-balanced.

Have a Beer

City Tap believes that craft beer should be accessible to everyone. In Philadelphia 2010, we saw an opportunity to bring craft beer to the people. With a wide, open bar, a huge selection of taps, an extremely readable draft list, and regional (dare we say exceptional) cuisine, our sudsy dream became a reality. That said, like other borrowing rates, the rates on home equity loans and HELOCs are still elevated compared to just a few years ago.

For example, if you need a longer period to pay off what you owe, you can opt for a home equity loan with a term of 20 to 30 years, giving you plenty of time to repay what you borrowed. Or, if you want to save on interest charges and pay off your loan quickly, you could opt for a loan term as short as five years instead. One of the major advantages of tapping your home equity compared to other financing options is the sheer amount of money you can potentially access. Right now, the average homeowner has nearly $300,000 in equity built up in their home. Of that $300,000 in equity, about $190,000 is tappable equity for the average homeowner, meaning it can be borrowed from with a home equity loan.

Though the university has repeatedly set and then pushed back deadlines for the removal of the encampment, the school sent an email to students Friday night saying that bringing back police “at this time” would be counterproductive. With the death toll mounting in the war in Gaza, protesters nationwide are demanding that schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus.

Most importantly, craft means championing love and integrity in every aspect of what we do. Students at a prestigious Paris university, inspired by Gaza solidarity encampments at campuses in the U.S., blocked access to a building . In France, students at the Paris Institute of Political Studies, which counts President Emmanuel Macron among its many famous alumni, blocked access to a campus building and classes went online as the wave of protests reached overseas. Decisions to call in law enforcement, leading to hundreds of arrests nationwide, have prompted school faculty members at universities in California, Georgia and Texas to initiate or pass votes of no confidence in their leadership.

The school said in a statement that the demonstration, which began Thursday, had become “infiltrated by professional organizers” with no affiliation to the school and antisemitic slurs, including “kill the Jews,” had been used. PERF’s survey showed a more than a 20% drop in resignations overall, from a high of almost 6,500 in 2022 to fewer than 5,100 in 2023. They are still up over early pandemic levels in 2020, however, when a few more than 4,000 officers resigned across all responding departments. Maria “Maki” Haberfeld, chair of the Department of Law, Police Science and Criminal Justice Administration at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, says departments have been too focused on officer numbers. She worries some are lowering education requirements and other standards to bolster numbers instead of trying to find the best people to police their communities.

Like beer slowly fermenting in a tank, our food is prepared with equal parts precision and patience. First and foremost, we pride ourselves on organization. Crafting a beer list with dozens of choices shouldn’t be intimidating. Every beer is categorized by style and given a detailed flavor description so you know exactly what you’re drinking.

St. Pauli Non-Alcoholic (N.A.) has a pleasant hop aroma, a well-balanced malt flavor, crisp hop finish and the taste of an imported beer without the alcohol. A clean, malty, gold-colored German-style lager with a grainy-sweet flavor and a soft, dry finish. An intensely hoppy pale ale with minimal malt character, designed to showcase its strong hop flavors.

The survey asked only for numbers, Wexler said, so it’s hard to say whether those officers are leaving for larger departments or leaving the profession altogether. He also said smaller departments, which account for 80% of agencies nationwide, were underrepresented in the responses PERF received. The survey also showed smaller departments with fewer than 50 officers are still struggling with a higher rate of resignations and retirements.

Only some of the protesters left; others doubled down. After protesters rebuffed police earlier in the week, the campus was closed for the rest of the semester. The president of nearby MIT put out a statement Saturday saying the encampment there had become a “potential magnet for disruptive outside protesters” and was taking hundreds of staff hours to keep safe. “We cannot tolerate this kind of hate on our campus,” the statement posted on the social media platform X said.

By contrast, the ability for the average homeowner to potentially unlock up to $190,000 or more in affordable cash simply by borrowing against their home's equity value is difficult to match through other financing avenues. To put that into perspective, most personal loans from banks and credit unions top out at a maximum of $50,000 for qualified borrowers — and the largest amount you can typically borrow with a very robust borrower profile is about $100,000. And rarely do major credit card issuers extend revolving credit limits higher than about $30,000 without the cardholders having stellar credit profiles and high incomes. The event is only open to people who are 21 and older.

But, when done prudently, a home equity loan or HELOC could provide significant financial flexibility at a relatively affordable cost in today's environment. And, both home equity loans and HELOCs come in a variety of loan terms, too. And, even a small difference in the interest rate on a loan could make a big difference over time, especially when you're borrowing large sums of money.

At the University of Pennsylvania, interim President J. Larry Jameson on Friday called for an encampment of protesters on the west Philadelphia campus to be disbanded, saying it violates the university’s facilities policies. About 40 tents remained in place Saturday morning. As workers pulled down tents and bagged up the debris from the encampment, several dozen people across from the encampment chanted, “Let the kids go” and slogans against the war in Gaza.

In turn, these low rates attached to home equity make it one of the most prudent financing avenues available today. Westmalle Tripel is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma.
