For outsiders who can’t resist the urge to make sweeping generalizations that will later prove highly embarrassing, Japan provides particularly dangerous ground. As someone who spent parts of 2006 and 2007 as a foreign correspondent in Tokyo, I should know. It’s a culture that seems to carry over practices virtually unchanged over millennia, y... read more

TIMES AND SCHOOLS: How serious is Gotham's "literary crisis?"*THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2022* *And does the New York Times care? *When the mayor announced a major new plan, the New York Times couldn't be bothered. More precisely, the New York Times couldn't be bothered to assign an experienced education specialist to report on the mayor's new plan. Instead, the Times assigned a bright young "general assignment reporter" to the project. This isn't the doing or fault of that very bright young reporter, but it does reflect the uncaring culture of the paper by whom she's employed To what extent does the New York Times care about the (roughly) one mil... read more

But Indian sailors and traders had been using the monsoon winds to reach Red Sea ports for centuries before Hippalus. In the time of Alexander, sea trade was flourishing between India and Egypt. The Greek historian, Strabo, has claimed that hundreds of ships laden with goods from India used to arrive in the Red Sea port... read more

Alberta's Cannibals
If you're a conservative these days, you swim with sharks. And the sharks are cannibals. Carson Jerema writes: Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party has eaten itself. The dismal 51.4 per cent approval rating that led Premier Jason Kenney to announce Wednesday that he will step down is a victory for a long-percolating revolt, one that came mostly from the party’s right wing. But this is no win for conservative politics in Alberta and could signal the movement’s shift further away from where voters are comfortable.

Time to put an end to US hypocrisy
By Xin Ping (China Daily) As the US and its allies imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia, a new economic and cultural Iron Curtain is descending on the European continent.
