Shoppers can choose meals like ranch steaks with peppercorn butter (usually £6) and a bottle of Spanish Shiraz worth £7.

Sara Hussein (Agence France-Presse) Sado, Japan ● Sun, May 22, 2022 2022-05-22 12:52 0 02c2f042c5018a82e8094ec7529c314f 2 Art & Culture taiko,Kodo,music,Japan,tradition,culture Free Japanese taiko drumming is a musical form rooted in religious rituals, traditional theater and the joyous abandon of seasonal festivals called matsuri . In a hall on Japan's Sado Island, 71-year-old Yoshikazu Fujimoto strikes the imposing drum mounted before him, producing a boom so powerful that it reverberates through the floorboards. Fujimoto is a veteran performer of Japanese taiko , a musical form with roots in religious rituals, traditional theater and the joyous abandon of seasonal festivals called matsuri . But for all its ancient pedigree, taiko as a stage performance is a fairly modern invention, developed by a jazz musician and popularized in part by one of Japan's most famous troupes, Kodo which hails from Sado. Fujimoto is the eldest of the … [Read more...] about To the soul: Japan’s Kodo reinvents ‘taiko’ tradition

Turkey’s Ancient Underground City Isn’t What Everybody Says It Is
Archeologists in Turkey have discovered an almost 2000-year-old underground city in the southeastern province of Mardin. The subterranean complex in modern Midyat was unearthed two years ago, when restorations to the basement level of stone houses revealed a cave that opened to an underground tunnel. The discovery is making headlines as a site of “refuge for early Christians” during periods of persecution by the Romans. But is this true? Did Roman authorities force first century Christians, quite literally, underground? Or is the truth even more interesting? Even before archeologists unearthed the site, the presence of subterranean tunnels was well known to locals. Underground cities are comparatively common in Turkey, with some estimates of their number running into the hundreds. The most startling part of the recent discovery in Midyat is the sheer scale of the complex: it is roughly 74 acres (3.2 million square feet) in size. Gani Tarkan, director of the Mardin Museum, who was … [Read more...] about Turkey’s Ancient Underground City Isn’t What Everybody Says It Is

Buffalo shooting highlights threat of online extremism amid pandemic
In the early months of the pandemic, security experts sounded the alarm over the possible escalation of online radicalization and terrorist violence as people isolated and spent more time on social media. An internal Department of Homeland Security memo in early 2020 cautioned that the new pandemic lifestyle could “increase the vulnerability of some citizens to mobilize to violence.” The U.N. warned in a November 2020 report of cases involving “malicious” use of social media for fomenting extremist beliefs. The suspect behind an attack on Saturday at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York – which left 10 dead, all of whom were Black, and three others wounded – appears to have posted writing that epitomizes these fears. In a 180-page document, 18-year-old Payton Gendron, allegedly shared a litany of bigoted views and conspiracy theories. One theory he espoused -- "replacement theory" -- argues that Democrats are trying to bring about a demographic shift to consolidate power. … [Read more...] about Buffalo shooting highlights threat of online extremism amid pandemic
