By the seventh month, there was no more fuzziness. My hair looked better than it had in decades. I looked younger. I felt younger. I visited the barber, who whistled and thanked me like a proud grandfather. After cutting my hair, the barber said, “Sorry, but we’ve got to do something,” and then ran his hands back and forth through all my hair, with a big smile on his face. “This feels so good.”On our first date, a woman told me that I didn’t look very 46 years old. (Obviously this is a flat-out lie that everyone tells, but still.)…

To celebrate, we asked…
Mango juice is delicious, so AK officials had no reason to complain when Erdogan began serving it at the palace last year. But they may have been confused to hear it was a gift from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, since Erdogan and Sisi hadn’t spoken in a decade. An avowed Islamist, Erdogan gave his all to the Muslim Brotherhood, which took power in Egypt after protests ousted Hosni Mubarak in 2011. When Sisi came to power two years later in a coup that killed hundreds of protesters, the Turkish leader called him a tyrant, held rallies in support of…

Levent Kenneth/StockholmRussians will become the largest group of foreigners living in Turkey with a residence permit in 2022, up from sixth place in 2021. Turkey has become a safe haven, especially for wealthy Russians who had to leave the West because of sanctions imposed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Similarly, Russians fleeing the war seem to prefer Turkey. The fact that the Turkish government has persistently and repeatedly declared that it will not participate in Western sanctions against Russia plays an important role in the increase in Russian residence permits.According to official statistics obtained by Nordic Monitor, a total of…

Johnny Autry; Prop and Food Styling: Charlotte L. Autry Chopped, cooked chicken gets bold flavor from a tomatillo salsa and lime juice in this healthy taco recipe. You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or cook up a chicken breast. Set up a taco bar with fresh ingredients like avocado, tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro.

But the citrus vinaigrette, made with orange juice, Dijon mustard, and shallots, really makes the dish shine. Garnish with sliced almonds…
In 2002, Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party, Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP), obtained a parliamentary majority in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. The seemingly unstoppable rise of political Islam throughout the turbulent 1990s had finally culminated in a much-dreaded loss for a Kemalist political establishment committed to the secular vision of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the modern Turkish republic. Twenty years on, many of the prophesies about Erdogan’s leadership remain unfulfilled. The fears of his opponents were encapsulated in the slogan “Turkey will not become Iran!” Turkey decidedly did not turn into Iran, but it did…
In the world of sustainable travel, ecotourism is an elusive term, as environmental anthropologist Amanda Stronza put it, and she wrote her doctoral dissertation on the term in 1999, about a decade after the concept was created.The Texas A&M professor has since published numerous studies on sustainable tourism models and has spent years researching the complex relationship between humanity and its natural and fragile environments. What sets her perspective apart is that it is rooted in practical guidelines for humans, who are part of the natural and living world.This is at odds with more extreme eco-ideologies that say those who…
