Between 1880 and 1920, these groups gained public interest in their own way. The liquor interests defended their industries against politicians, religious leaders, and social reformers, but ultimately failed. While current historical scholarship links the different liquor industries together, the beer industry constantly worked to distinguish itself from other alcoholic beverages.

  • The Autumn Harvest 2020 Winners by Countries FOOD CULTURE
    The AUTUMN Harvest 2020 Winners by Countries FOOD CULTURE THE AUTUMN HARVEST For the next Gourmand World Cookbook Awards (2021) The Autumn Harvest list is published on September 23. It includes the Spring Harvest list, published April 23 and the Summer Harvest list published July 23. There are now 983 entries, from 150 countries and regions. All will participate in the next Gourmand Awards, with the Best in the World announced June 1-6, 2021. All those on the Autumn Harvest list already have the right to the Winners certificates and stickers. We have approximately 20% more entries this year than last year at the same time. The cookbook activity has been intense in the first eight months of 2020, a consequence of the pandemic and confinement. There is much digital publishing, but print is also increasing. There are significant changes worldwide, for instance see the Emirates Ministry of Climate Change cookbook in D01, or the Congo Cardinal of Kinshasa and the Minister of the Interior in forewords to a nutrition book against Covid-19 in A01 and F10. We created the new category A01 for Covid-19 cookbooks. Take extreme care and keep safe, protect the others, and yourself. When back in Paris for the Gourmand Awards in June 2021 or before, you should visit the two restaurants I miss the most when away. They are among the top best in the world for my taste, from my years of international experiences, with reasonable prices for top quality real food. They are first, Le Carre des Feuillants, with Chef Alain Dutournier, and second, Le Belisaire, with chef Mathieu Garrel.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture AN ANALYSIS OF A MIDDLE EASTERN ENCLAVE: LITTLE EGYPT A Thesis in Architecture by Dina Mahmoud © 2015 Dina Mahmoud Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture May 2015 The thesis of Dina Mahmoud was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alexandra Staub Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Adviser Nida Rehman Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture Ed Coulson Professor of Business Economics Mehrdad Hadighi Professor of Architecture Head of the Department of Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This study explores a Middle Eastern enclave of New York City, known as Little Egypt. It examines the ethnic characteristics and social behaviors found within this Arab enclave. Components of the research include physical characteristics of the place, such as Arabic signage, hookah displays found in storefronts, and culturally inspired street events. Additionally, the study explores the implications and use of culture to define an enclave. I examined cultural events that are either politically, socially, or religiously relevant as ways in which the member of the enclave used them to create a territory of their own. I also assessed aspects through theories developed by urban theorists and economists, such as Jane Jacobs’s concept of the effectiveness of small fragmented businesses, Michael Porter’s definition of clusters and Alejandro Portes’s enclave economic theory. These theoretical models are the backdrop of the study and are tested in Little Egypt as a way to analyze the vitality of the enclave.
