A Renaissance Tale of Nobility, Scandal, and the Birth of the Conservatory
By Tugba YAZICI
Let’s start with a little drama, shall we? 🙂
Yes, the title takes inspiration from Turkish novelist Elif Şafak’s Bastard and Father , but my story heads in a completely different direction. This isn’t about the book or the author, but about a very real “Father and Bastard” tale whispered through palace corridors, beneath mosaicked church ceilings, and echoed in the lives of the people who shaped the art world as we know it.
THE BASTARDS OF THE MIDDLE AGES
And the Children the Nobility Tried to Hide
In medieval Europe; especially in France, Italy, England, and...

If you are looking for unlimited fun and adventure and dream of living on an island, Sentosa Island is the right place for you! I am very lucky because, during my trip to the Far East, I had the chance to visit Sentosa Island, a resort with many different attractions.
The best time to visit the island is between October and December, as the weather is mild and beautiful during these months and ideal for sightseeing. Due to its location, Sentosa Island is subject to unexpected rains throughout the year, so it is a good idea to bring an umbrella or raincoat during your visit. Please note.

This earth is dark,
Your eyes are dark,
I look off into the distance,
To the mountains, to the plains,
No matter how green they are,
You always emerge from beneath,
Like your coal-black eyes,
Dark,...

The first day and the first lines of a new beginning. I thought deeply about how I should write. Should I be an official or sincere? And finally, I decided to write like myself:)
We timed this initiative to coincide with Thanksgiving Day, one of the most importantholidays in America, which we launched with our writer friends at the ARTTMODERNMIAMI NEWS. We have a great deal to be grateful for, just like everyone else. After a prolonged period of preparation, we are now with you.

The last New Moon of the year will occur on December 12th in the USA and December 13th in Turkey at 20 degrees Sagittarius. Mars accompanying this New Moon will cause the events to be more aggressive and violent. During this period, there will be situations where religious fanaticism will be active and polarize people. Mercury being in a Retro position at the time of the New Moon may make things more complicated. Mercury will retrograde in Capricorn-Sagittarius between December 12 and January 3. Take care of all your correspondence, agreements, etc. before December 12, or leave it until January 3 at the earliest, and if...

A man
And a woman
In bed,
Sleeping...
In separate cities,
In different worlds.
And one day,
Those worlds unite...
Days never end,
And loneliness no longer falls
Into the nights...
I realized that melancholy poems
Are what made me this...

There is something quietly powerful about arriving somewhere new. The light feels different, the air smells unfamiliar, and your mind seems to breathe. Whether it’s a beach in Spain, a street café in Lisbon, or a small town you have never been to. Travel often feels like hitting a reset button.
A big part of this feeling comes from the way our brain reacts to novelty. New sights, sounds, and even small unexpected moments activate the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine. It is the “feel-good” chemical that improves mood, motivation, and curiosity. In contrast, our daily routines tend to dull this system. When everything becomes foreseeable, our...
