Caviar 101 A crash course from two sisters living the caviar dream Caviar refers to unfertilized, salt-cured fish eggs from sturgeon. Five years ago, Petra Bergstein, Texas Tech, and Saskia Bergstein, TCU, had never tried the stuff. Petra’s work on a sturgeon farm in Sacramento, California, first hooked her on caviar in 2012, not only as a food but as a business idea. She enlisted her sister, Saskia—a consultant and CPA—to help build a new caviar brand from the ground up. Today, the sisters own…

it’s not an extraordinary movie, showing several problems that turn it into an unfortunate stumble in the filmography of the Quebecois Jean-Marc Valleé. The latter, who deserves all my respect for accomplished works such as “C.R.A.Z.Y”, “Café de Fleur”, “Dallas Buyers Club”, and “Wild”, was unable to assure a compelling chemistry among the characters and eluded us by making us believe that this tearless tale of loss and grief could offer us something more interesting than weird conversation,…

“What it Meant” by Sharon Olds is a poem about the greatest beauty on Earth, the birth of a child. Olds displaces the beauty of giving birth using religious diction and allusions to the birth of Jesus. Although many already see the beauty in the birth of a child, this poem shows great admiration towards women who have given birth and their own mothers for what they went through. This poem forces women to view their bodies as miraculous and as beautiful as it truly is, as beautiful as the Virgin…

Throughout the poem, sympathy is given to her as she fights the high authorities of the school alongside her father. This presents her individuality.

It is interesting to note that, included in the set of Suffrages as the very first prayer is an illustration devoted to St. Anne in St. Anne Instructing the Virgin (Fol. 13). It is no accident that the first suffrage in this prayer book is dedicated to the saint with the same name as the patron; certainly, this primary position was deliberately chosen, indicating the particular devotion to this saint that Anne de Bretagne had. The inclusion of St. Anne is not only significant because of the name…

Hydraulic fracturing, also known simply as fracking, is a process used to extract natural gas and oil from beneath the earth’s surface. This process is accomplished by drilling a well and pumping pressurized water, proppants such as sand, and chemicals into that well; the result of this process is that fractures occur within the targeted layer of shale rock, which allow for extraction of the desired gas and oil (Hyder and Lerner 2250). As a cleaner burning fuel, natural gas continues to be an…
