NEW HAVEN, Conn. — In the sun-baked ruins of an ancient Syrian city, a revolutionary discovery is rewriting the story of early Christianity. For nearly a century, scholars have pointed to a modest structure in Dura-Europos as the prototype of Christian architecture – a simple house transformed into a place of worship. But now, this cornerstone of religious history is crumbling under the weight of new evidence.

Not all Draculas are frightening. Dracula orchids, also called monkeyface orchids, grow in Central and South America. The genus Dracula means “little dragon” and includes 144 species, many of which have fantastical names of bats, giants, monsters or mythological creatures. Whereas Dracula chimaera and Dracula vampira have appropriate names that fit their grotesque and menacing appearance, Dracula diana stands in stark contrast and is known for its beautiful white flowers.

Rustam Khamdanbayev: The interior of the Uruk restaurant aims to move away from the clichéd solutions typical of Eastern interiors: floral patterns and ornaments, pointed arches, mosaic panels, and bright color schemes. Instead of creating yet another stereotypical "Eastern" space, the goal was to convey the atmosphere with a subtle presentation of stylized yet recognizable elements of the decor, craftsmanship, and everyday life of nomadic Turkic peoples. The restrained color palette forms a cohesive and complete image of the interior, with the main highlight being kinetic installations specifically developed for this project by me.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

A man so virtuosically witty he has an adjective named after him, the opening scene of Tom Stoppard’s ‘The Real Thing’ is Stoppardian to the point of parody. We meet a waspishly witty husband - Oliver Johnstone‘s Max - who barrages his wife Charlotte (Susan Wokoma) with inane but aggressive queries about her recent work tip abroad before casually revealing that he found her passport and she couldn’t have been in Switzerland – she has clearly been having an affair.
