@Omphals1 Not only is the Wilkinson fantastic, it's available through Pleco. Two great resources, one app. Also a good reason to load Pleco on a tablet as well as a phone.

@HealthNYGov I’ve been trying to correct my b’date with SSA for 11 years. I have my official birth certificate from you but SSA says NY doesn’t do electronic verification and they have been unable to get confirmation from you. What can I do? Update is necessary to use gov servs.

@UHPRESSNEWS Thank you. I’ve just purchased them both.

[Charles Randles @randlesc]

@UHPRESSNEWS will there be an ebook version of Koryǒsa (which you just published) available in the US? Amazon offered it but now says it’s not available in this region.

Preparations are in full swing for our upcoming blockbuster exhibition, Asian Bronze, celebrating 4000 years of bronze artistry from India, China, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, Nepal, and Korea. ✨

One standout piece is a Thai national treasure—this Buddha, making its international debut. Southern Thailand was a melting pot of influences. Images of the Buddha and a seven-headed nāga, a mythical serpent, are particularly revered in Cambodia. 🐍 Yet, its style is distinctly Thai, and thanks to an inscription, we even know the artist: Mrateng Shri Nano.

The exhibition Asian Bronze opens Friday 27 September.
