Nosema is a story of death in the guise of rebirth, of the last summer of a couple before their disappearance. Hurmuz and Simuni Diril had to rebuild their homes 8th times as it was bombed and burned down in the middle of an armed conflict which forced them to leave their village Meer, one of the last remaining Chaldean Catholic villages in Turkey, several times. In October 2019, they were reunited with their children as usual, but this time proved to be the last as they disappeared from their home several months later. Simuni Diril's body was discovered, Hurmuz Diril is still missing.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
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.
