Dennis is a young father and construction worker living with his mother and son in Orlando, one of the most sun-drenched cities in Florida. One day, a real estate agent named Rick Carver knocks on their door and, much like the hundreds of thousands people who felt the impact of the economic crisis most severely, they find out that they are being evicted. After hopelessly and shamefully doing what he was told, Dennis is given an opportunity: to work for Rick Carver. Depicting the hypocritical life of a man who chooses to place other people in his own difficult situation in order to save his own life and family, the movie 99 Homes brings acclaimed actors Andrew Garfield, Michael Shannon and Laura Dern together.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
