A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

"These releases foreground diaspora voices as integral to Circassian history. By linking archival recordings, historical context and contemporary reflection, Ored frames 21 May as a living ritual – where music becomes a tool for mourning loss and asserting continuity."

I'm a fan of Tomeka Reid but had kinda forgotten how much this LP slays! All the trio are on fire... Check 'Risse' out here (or indeed the whole album if it takes your fancy!)

A photo of the Aberglaslyn Pass, #Snowdonia, reproduced in 'Beddgelert: Its Facts, #Fairies & #Folklore', by D E Jenkins, 1899. The Pass was said to be haunted by a Gwyllgi; a 'figure of fire'; & a White Lady whom exorcists turned into a stone (formerly a tourist attraction).

The chamber of dolmen of La Pierre Couverte de Bué in Bagneux (Indre) was covered by a 5x3m capstone which now rests at an angle due to some of the 7 orthostats having slipped. This card c.1905 by a publisher simply credited as G.G. in Châteauroux.
