“I find it incredibly incredibly important to preserve these recipes, and these stories,” Jake said. Many of the recipes in Jake’s book are tied to family members on both his side and his husband’s side, and he said he learned a lot about his background and what his family went through to get these recipes to America. He said that when he met his husband, who is Persian-Iraqi, he learned of different traditional Jewish dishes that they then got to explore together.

Last week, the Tufts Observer spoke with Alok about Trump’s new memo and its effect on trans, non-binary, and intersex people. In the Department’s memo, it states that the government defines sex “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” This move effectively reduces legal gender to either male or female, determined by one’s genitalia at birth, and any individual dispute to this requires genetic testing. On October 21, the New York Times reported that the Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading an effort to legally define sex as solely biological under Title IX, the federal law that prohibits gender discrimination. On November 10, they visited campus and gave their performance, Femme in Public, based on their chapbook of the same title. Their eclectic sense of style, political comedy, and poetic challenge to the gender binary have been internationally renowned. Alok Vaid-Menon is a gender non-conforming artist, writer, and educator. While the pace is pretty gripping for the first half of the story, things start to get a little tedious in the second-half. ‘Grave Surprise’ felt a lot like a Christie mystery for the sheer fact that there were multiple suspects in the missing girl, all of them – family members. The artwork brings to life Harris’ work, and it feels like you are watching a television drama, with a whole bunch of characters walking in and out through the runtime. Co-incidence or conspiracy? The plot navigates through multiple twists and turns until the reader finds out what happened to the lost child. When a professor invites Harper to a recently discovered cemetery, she is shocked to sense a child’s body in an old grave – because it belongs to a missing girl whose family had recently hired Harper to help them. She can sense if there’s a dead body around and can even tell how they lost their life if she is close enough to their remains. The story’s protagonist is a young woman named Harper Connelly who has the gift of ‘finding’ dead people. Illustrated by Ilias Kyriazis, ‘Grave Surprise’ has some really bright and loud coloring by Tamra Bonvillain. I would’ve liked to say Christie mixed with Stephen King, but it’s nowhere close to the kind of dread, tension, terror some of his horror stories build. ‘Grave Surprise’ by Charlaine Harris digs into the cold case of a missing child and is like an Agatha Christie mystery mashed with supernatural elements. Their grandfather and father before them had been top players, and the twins are champion material.

Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processes Reference, Information & Interdisciplinary subjects From there Ambrose writes letters detailing his recovery, and the TLC he receives from yet another cousin, a young woman named Rachel. It’s all very pre-Victorian man-cave like, and Philip insists that’s what he likes, but then, oh no, cousin Ambrose falls ill and gets sent to Italy, because that’s what you did when you were sick and lived in England. Ambrose runs some kind of land-based business-he has a lot of workers walking around wielding scythes. He cops to not liking much of anything, besides hanging out with Ambrose in a dusty manse whose interior looks like the gatefold sleeve picture of a mid-70s Jethro Tull album. Orphaned, brought up by an adult cousin named Ambrose, sent to school. His name is Philip, and after wondering who’s to blame, he gives a brief accounting of his life. This movie begins with a few noncommittal scenic shots of rural England and a man saying in voiceover, “Did she? Didn’t she? Who’s to blame?” Hearing this, I thought, “Well, that’s no ‘Last night I dreamt I went to Manderlay again.’” Not fair, maybe, but “My Cousin Rachel” is, like Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rebecca,” based on a novel by Daphne du Maurier, master of the moody semi-Gothic romantic thriller.Īs it happens, du Maurier’s novel “My Cousin Rachel” has an entirely different and hookier opening line: “They used to hang men at Four Turnings in the old days.” One feature of this movie, written and directed by Roger Michell, is-I’m assuming here-a new conception of its protagonist, the novel’s unreliable narrator. He wants to rent the garage apartment, but it’s Diego Luz’s place now, and the last thing Diego wants is to share it. These two suspicious men must develop trust and respect for one another to solve the case and, on the way, maybe fall in love.

Understanding ‘moral panic’ is key to exploring the triggers and background causes of the Albigensian Crusade. Following this I will also compare and contrast how ‘moral panic was used in the Albigensian Crusade with the Russian Jewish pogroms of the late 1800s. I will examine how the Cathars' religious doctrine challenged the power and influence of the Catholic Church and the Kingdom of France, thereby provoking their moral indignation as I analyse the triggers and background causes behind the crusade. I will focus on the Albigensian Crusade (1209-1229) the first and most significant instance of Cathar persecution. In this essay I will explain how ‘moral panic’ was used by the Roman Catholic Church to justify three centuries of persecution against the Cathars. 9) The persecution of Catharism, throughout the 11th and 12th centuries is an example of ‘moral panic’. ‘Moral panic’ occurs, according to sociologist Stanley Cohen, when “a condition, episode, person or group of persons emerges to become defined as a threat to societal values and interests.” (Cohen, S., 1973, p.
