The biryani, meanwhile, is packed with whole spices, basmati and ghee, which give so much more flavour to the layers of rice and vegetables. Continue reading...

99 m. ago Seeing double: the wooden carvings that celebrate the Yorùbá’s unique connection to twins

The Ìbejì Project is resurrecting interest in the traditional art of the Yorùbá people, who have one of the highest rates of twin births in the worldWhen the Nigerian art collector, curator and dealer Kayode Adegbola was given a pair of Yorùbá twin statuettes – ère ìbejì – in 2022 as a reward for a successful art deal, it was the start of a new passion. While he had seen a few ìbejì carvings in his uncle’s collection of African traditional art, the gift resonated with Adegbola, a twin himself.“I have always been conscious of ìbejì but I will say my passionate research was definitely a 2022 moment.

16 h. ago 996 work culture is sad and inhumane. Whatever’s wrong with 888 – or even 000? | Emma Beddington

Silicon Valley is keen, once more, on a working pattern of 12-hour days, six days a week. It really is time for a new approach ...My current cultural comfort food is The Gilded Age, Julian Fellowes’ deeply silly Manhattan toffs-in-bustles drama, in which one storyline (summarily dealt with due to lack of taffeta-rustling opportunities, I suspect) features a tycoon’s downtrodden steelworkers going on strike for “888”: eight hours each of work, sleep and recreation.That wasn’t a revolutionary demand in the 1880s. The slogan, coined by the utopian social reformer Robert Owen, dates from 1817 (his New Lanark mill workers still did 10.5-hour days, though). Even then, it wasn’t unprecedented: apparently, a 16th-century Spanish ordinance limited New World construction workers to eight-hour days. Continue reading...
