Desperation Outweighs Dangers For Europe-Bound Migrants : Parallels : NPR - 0 views

  • Blinded by the sunlight when he finally emerged, Muhammed found himself in Spain — one of the tens of thousands of African migrants who risk their lives to make the dangerous journey to Europe by boat each year. Others come hidden in the wheel hubs of tractor-trailers transported by ferry. Some even swim part of the way. Scores die en route.

      From the Podcast ... "Some migrants refuse to speak in order to not reveal their identity" ... if it takes more than 60 days to identify a migrant, than a migrant is allowed asylum in Spain.

    Good Morning APHUG - All the best to those taking their PSATs today. I came across this interesting article. Their is a podcast and a short reading that goes along with this. Something to think about ... What are some of the obstacles that migrants face, according to this source? Feel free to comment or use the Diigolet tool to highlight items in the text that answer the question above. (See my examples above)

    That wonderful video was definitely wonderful and you've inspired me to make empanadas now in my own home now. And by empanadas I mean samosas.
  •  
    I loved how the website was very easy to navigate, plus the food looks really good, i might have to make it myself.
  •  
    The food looked really good, I may have to make it myself this weekend! Your video was very good and your website was very easy to navigate. Wonderful Job!!
  •  
    I really enjoyed watching your video! I like how it was entertaining but also informative. I also enjoyed learning about how Empanadas diffused to several spanish areas. It is great that you have the recipe so that others can make empanadas on their own. Over all, great job! Your website was interesting as well as informative.
  •  
    Awesome job with the video, very informative and entertaining. Overall good content and interesting view on the food taboos. Great quote at 1:34 "Like my mom always told me, if you cut your finger off, it's gonna bleed"
  •  
    I enjoyed watching your video which was well done and looked delicious! I also found the liver and onion dish as a taboo to be interesting because of how it is accepted in some regions and not others. It seems it is more widely accepted in areas that are influenced by folk culture rather than popular culture, which is funny because many things are eaten in a popular cultural society that are worse for you and contain more chemicals than the natural liver of a cow.

35 Are Found as Container Is Unloaded Near London - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Refugees and migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East have been appearing at Europe’s borders in rising numbers, but more commonly in Mediterranean countries like Spain and Italy than in Britain.
  • Last year, hundreds of African migrants died when their boat capsized off the Italian island of Lampedusa. Two small Spanish enclaves in Morocco are frequently overrun by Africans seeking asylum. And the war in Syria has led to another tide of refugees.
  • The influx has led to questions about whether the European Union needs a more comprehensive strategy to deal with the migrants at its borders.

  •  
    I like how you gave a lot of history on each of the dishes. You provided good background knowledge on the dishes for the viewers before they watch your video. Also, your idea to have a judge for the food was really cool! Good job on your video!

    Very good idea to make it into a real cooking show! Great information and organization of the site. Good work!
  •  
    Good job with your video, especially with the beginning intro scenes and the last scene! Sadhana, you should have won by default because of Lauren's brother being the judge! I wonder which one of your recipes was actually better?
  •  
    Your website was very neat and easy to navigate. I like how you made it like a real show with the judge at the end. Both foods follow the characteristics of folk culture and that the origin is anonymous.
  •  
    I liked how the website was well managed and and easy to navigate, plus those foods look REAAAAAAALLLY good!
  •  
    I liked how the video was set up like a real cooking show. You guys also presented great information about the food's background, as I never heard of the Qatar dish.

    I really liked the design of the website and that it was based on a real cooking show. I thought the dishes were interesting and displayed how the resources available to countries often affects their folk culture.

    Great job! The beginning scenes were very informative, and I thought it was interesting how there are different theories on the origin of the tortilla española, which is a great characteristic of a folk culture.
  •  
    I enjoyed your website very much! I like how you incorporated background information into your video as well as your website. It was great to see how well these folk foods relate to what we learn in class. For example, Lauren's food dish has no known origin. This is one of the characteristics of folk culture. Great job over all!
  •  
    I loved the concept of "The Next Top Chef"! The organization of the website is great and I liked how you provided background information. It was also interesting to see the characteristics of culture embedded in the food. Overall, great job!
