His own son, Adam (Amari Bacchus), a gangly, bullied senior, takes his father aside into a room of stacked chairs and blue-tinged light. He wants to help him understand. Continue reading...

They carried flowers, herbs and photos of their loved ones to lay at the foot of an altar on a tiny strip of land in the middle of a pond. For the last few years, this ritual at the start of the annual Gullah Geechee herbal gathering on Johns Island, South Carolina, has served as a link between the living and the dead. “It gives them a sacred space to connect with the land,” the gathering’s founder, Khetnu Nefer, said about the attendees, and to “connect with our communal ancestors”.Held on Nefer’s family’s land, a stretch of 10 acres (four hectares) of flat grass surrounded by woods, the gathering educates attendees on the herbal traditions of the descendants of west Africans enslaved on the Sea Islands along the south-east US.

A new book has sparked debate with its provocative claim that progressive public policy in the US is brokenIs progressive public policy in America broken? Do many left-leaning laws actually make life more expensive for struggling people? Is regulatory red tape hindering growth and innovation? Have Democratic-run cities, such as New York and San Francisco, become giant billboards against liberal governance?These arguments wouldn’t sound out of place in a policy paper from a conservative thinktank.

There are simple ways to get out of your style rut. And a pepped-up outfit will set you up for a good morningThe way I see it, if you have high standards, then you have those high standards whatever you are doing. This is not to do with being good at everything, we all have things we absolutely suck at. Standards are about making an effort. And if you are someone who does stuff properly, then you are that person whether you are preparing a presentation deck or cleaning the floor. You are the same person in every room you are in.This is the real reason to dress well for work. Not because you have to, but because it sets the tone for who you are. And the person you are comes to work to get the job done, and shows respect for their colleagues, right? Right. Continue reading...
