After a courtship that lasted only a little longer than Lindsay Lohan can stay out of rehab, Kevin Garnett is finally about to become a member of the Boston Celtics.
And all the Celts have to give up in return is, reportedly, a package including some or all of the following: Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, one if not two first-round draft picks, Tommy Heinsohn, the distribution rights to "Celtics Pride 2" and Paul Pierce's first-born son. Oh, and all future editions of the NBA Register must now indicate that Bill Russell actually played his entire career in a Timberwolves uniform.
Are they giving up way too much to secure a 31-year-old, 10-time All-Star who has averaged 20.5 points and 11.4 rebounds in 12 seasons? Is it worth coughing up half your roster and nearly all your tradeable assets to acquire The Big Ticket?
What it actually boils down to is, are you willing to trade away the future to win right now? Danny Ainge and the Celtics certainly think so.
For months leading up to May's draft lottery, all we heard about was how bright the future was for the Boston Celtics. Sure, they were the Eastern Conference's worst team last season, but there was still plenty of potential — and once they got either Greg Oden or Kevin Durant, it would all come to fruition.
Well, as we all painfully know by now, the ping-pong balls didn't fall their way. That led to a change in philosophy around the Garden; instead of rebuilding on young talent, maybe it was time to maximize Paul Pierce's final window of opportunity and acquire some real veteran talent. Trade away the potential and win now instead of hoping to build enough of a future to win later.
In effect, Danny Change is looking to do the ultimate swap-around, going from worst to first after just one summer's worth of moves. There's no reason to think these Celtics can't double the win total of 24 a year ago, now that then nouveau "Big 3" is walking through that door.
But they're not getting the Big 3 that captured three NBA championships; they're getting the Big 3 of the late-80s, early-90s, when Bird and McHale were in their 30s and starting to show the wear-and-tear of a decade of NBA glory.
The fact that the Celtics are relying on that championship to come on the bodies of three All-Stars on the north side of 30 doesn't matter. It's not as if they're breaking down right before our eyes — unless, of course, you count Pierce missing 24 games with a foot that wasn't even broken, and Allen missing 27 with bone spurs in his ankles.
Still, this trio will have their knees long after Tim Donaghy's lost his, but in addition to battling the rest of the East, they'll also be continually battling time.
The wins, the playoffs, the fan interest, the respect of the NBA are all finally coming back to Boston with this move. The Celtics are not only relevant, they're legitimate. But that legitimacy only lasts as long as this triumvirate can stay on the court together. Danny saved his job with the team he's built this summer; now that he's held on to it, the real work begins. Can he, as Red Auerbach once did before him, continue to keep his team a perennial contender without the benefit of falling into the draft lottery each year? Will Boston continue its assumed winning ways following the departure of Pierce, Allen and Garnett?
The process of building the team that wins a title after its three key players are gone doesn't begin in three years; it begins now. Otherwise, the Celtics will hit another brick wall like they did in the early '90s, as the original Big 3 faded away from the parquet.
The salary cap for next season is $55.630 million, with the tax figure at $67.865 million. The Celtics will be paying a shade under $60 million for their trio of stars alone, so in order to fill out their roster, they'll either have to pay nine other guys a total of about $9 million, or risk paying a dollar-for-dollar tax.
Boston will have a mid-level exception amount of $5.25 million to allow them to sign one or more players regardless of whether they are over the cap or will go over — with their need for a veteran point guard to play either behind or in front of Rajon Rondo, someone like Brevin Knight, who was waived by Charlotte on Friday, would be a perfect fit. Although Knight, too, is 31 years old, he averaged 9.1 points and 6.6 assists last season and made just $4 million, so he'll certainly fit into the MLE slot while allowing Rondo and Gabe Pruitt to develop at the point.
What matters is that free agents like Knight will once again want to come to Boston, something that hasn't happened for a long time. They'll want to play with a Pierce-Garnett-Allen trio. But will the Celtics be able to afford it? With Garnett's sizeable trade kicker (he's already the league's highest-paid player) and expected contract extension, the Celts looked to be handcuffed financially for quite some time, unless Wyc and Steve are trading in their Red Auerbach cigars for a (Mark) Cuban variety.
Will the legacy of this trade, and ultimately Danny Ainge, be Banner No. 17 and possibly beyond, or will it be a financial handicap that takes the Celtics back even further after a few years in the limelight? For now, the Celts are happy to keep that question on the backburner and instead punch their Big Ticket back to the glory days.

In March 2019, newly elected president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili will pay a two-day an official visit to Armenia. This is going to be the second one in a row in the region. Following the assumption of official duties on 16 December, 2018, Zurabishvili paid an official to Azerbaijan on 27 February, 2019.
The Armenian-Georgian relationships have always had an important role on our agenda. The current authorities of Armenia also stress that line of relationships. This is as well testified by the mutually official visits made in 2018. Armenia's prime minister and president paid one visit each. As for Georgia in 2018, two visits were made, the first one by the deputy prime minister and interior minister, and the second one by prime minister.
As to 2019, three meetings have been held so far, the first one being informal between the prime ministers of Armenia and Georgia. The second one was followed by the official visit of Georgian defense minister to Armenia, resulting in signing a military cooperation program. The third meeting of this year was held during the Davos World Economic Forum.
Against the backdrop of mutually active ties, the first official visit of the Georgian president to Armenia will give an additional positive impulse. The agenda may include a number of bilateral issues, such as the construction of the Iran-Armenia-Georgia gas pipeline, the issue of expansion of transit roads, etc. It is also reasonable to expect Zurabishvili to try to smoothen the statement made on the consequences of the occupation during her visit to Azerbaijan.
It should be noted about the construction of the Iran-Armenia-Georgia gas pipeline that Tehran signed a gas deal with Georgia back in 2016, which apparently enables Georgia to get rid of Azerbaijan's gas dependence. On the other hand, Georgia is actively negotiating with "Gazprom" to acquire gas on favorable terms. In this context, Armenia's prime minister Pashinyan's recent visit is noteworthy, where he expressed readiness to start trilateral cooperation with regard to exporting gas to Georgia. Armenia has already been offered by Iran to cooperate in the electricity and gas transit to Georgia and Russia. There is already an arrangement for a quadrilateral meeting in April between Armenia, Russia, Georgia and Iran in Tehran. If an agreement can be reached, Armenia will significantly strengthen its economic position in the region.
Another important issue between Armenia and Georgia is reaching an agreement over Verin Lars corridor and an alternative road. It is known that Russia and Georgia signed a fundamental agreement on "Basic Principles of Customs Administration and Commodity Trade Monitoring Mechanism" in 2011. It aims to create three transit corridors for transportation of goods from Russia to Georgia and vice versa (under s Swiss company monitoring), which will be an alternative to Verin Lars. This checkpoint is of primary importance for Armenia, as goods to Armenia are transported through this corridor, which is occasionally closed due to weather conditions or natural disasters, creating obstacles for the transportation of goods. Talks, in fact, are held directly between Russia and Georgia, however, Armenia, being a party concerned, may indirectly get involved in the process promoting the implementation of the agreement to a possible extent.
Within the margins of the visit Georgia's Salome Zurabishvili will try to smooth over the statement made in Azerbaijan a few days ago. This accounts for the Armenian-Georgian warm relationships and preservation of bilateral neutrality in the conflicts in the region. The Georgian president has not renounced the regional policy of the former Georgian government. Georgia has always been neutral in the Artskh conflict, referring to OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs efforts.
Although Georgia is a country with a parliamentary model of governance, and the president's powers in foreign policy affairs are limited, the visit is important in the light of bilateral relationships and the issues on the agenda.
"Armen Sarkissian Was the Only President'': Zurabishvili about Armenia's President Armenian President Armen Sarkissian was the only President who attended the inauguration ceremony of Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili.
Visit of Georgian Prime Minister to Armenia was Postponed As the press service of the Armenian government reports, the visit will be held after the approval of the Georgian government by the country's parliament.
Armenia Sends Units of Fire Appliances to Borjomi, Georgia Georgia was offered help from Russia too, but Prime Minister Kvirikashvili said "what we have so far is enough." He hopes that no additional help will be needed.
Georgia's Foreign Minister to Visit Armenia Georgia's FM will hold meetings with Armenia's President and Prime Minister.

Dealmaking helps Deutsche Bank land biggest profit in a decade
Posts Q4 profit, despite expectations for loss
6th consecutive quarter of profit
2nd consecutive year of profit
Compensation at investment bank rises 30% in Q4
CEO says downward spiral has become upward spiral
FRANKFURT, Jan 27 (Reuters) – Deutsche Bank delivered its most profitable year in a decade on the back of a dealmaking bonanza, strengthening Chief Executive Christian Sewing's hand as he fine tunes a new strategy and tackles costly competition for talent.
Analysts had forecast a fourth quarter loss and shares in Germany's largest bank rose by more than 5% after the surprise finale to 2021, which marked the second straight annual profit following years of losses.
Deutsche (DBKGn.DE) had to pay up to keep its traders and dealmakers on board, with compensation at its investment bank soaring 30% in the final quarter.

Bank executives said they were worried about an "intense war" for talent and Deutsche has a long way to go to cut expenses, even as investment bank revenue may decline this year.
Nevertheless, the results represent a milestone for Sewing, who was promoted to the top job in 2018 to turn Deutsche around after a series of embarrassing and costly regulatory failings.
"You all know how turbulent the years between 2016 and 2018 were for our bank. Back then, we seemed to have entered a downward spiral," Sewing told reporters on Thursday.
"The downward spiral turned into an upward spiral," he said.
Deutsche's shares, which are up by more than 30% over the past year, were 5.1% higher at 1213 GMT after it said net profit attributable to shareholders was 145 million euros ($163 million) in the three months ended Dec. 31.
That compared with a profit of 51 million euros a year earlier and contrasted with analyst expectations for a loss of around 130 million euros. read more
The fourth quarter was the sixth consecutive in the black, the bank's longest positive streak since 2012.
Deutsche made a profit of 1.94 billion euros in 2021, up from 113 million euros a year earlier, although it has still lost more than 10 billion euros over the past decade.
Regulators are still keeping a close eye on the bank, one of the most important for the global financial system.
Sewing confirmed Deutsche was on track to achieve a key profitability target in 2022, a return on tangible equity of 8% that many analysts have forecast the bank will miss.
Analysts at Citigroup, which has a sell rating on Deutsche, said the bank was "overly optimistic" and that it did not see anything in the fourth quarter to change this view.
JPMorgan, which has an overweight rating, said the results were mixed, but the "future is going in the right direction."
Deutsche is far from its goal of a cost-to-income ratio of 70% by the end of 2022. It stood at 94.3% in the fourth quarter.

On the whole, investors expect Deutsche to deliver profits in 2022 and 2023, consensus forecasts show.
Sewing said the March strategy announcements would be an evolution of the bank's current stance, focusing on growth.
The question of a possible tie-up with another lender has been in the air since Deutsche ended merger talks in 2019 with Commerzbank. But Sewing said he wasn't thinking about mergers and acquisitions for 2022.
TALENT WAR
Once a thorn in Deutsche's side, the investment bank has become an important revenue generator, benefiting from a pandemic-induced trading boom and a wave of dealmaking that has lifted banks across Wall Street.
Revenue at the unit rose 1% to 1.913 billion euros in the fourth quarter from a year earlier.
The investment bank's advisory business stood out, with revenue surging 156%.
Revenue for fixed-income and currency trading, one of the bank's largest divisions, fell 14% from a strong period a year earlier as markets calmed from their pandemic trading frenzy. That was in line with falls at U.S. competitors.
Some of the big U.S. banks' fourth-quarter results have disappointed investors partly because of ballooning expenses, hurting profit growth.
The 30% increase in compensation and benefits at Deutsche's investment banking unit from a year earlier was greater than the average 10% gain for the bank as a whole, a sign it faces pressure to retain talent as the industry booms.
Those costs put a drag on the division's pretax profit, which at 319 million euros in the quarter was nearly half that of a year earlier.
Sewing said he was very concerned about the increasingly intense war for talent but he wanted to pay competitively.
"It is also clear that we cannot and do not want to avoid this competition, because we too want to have and keep the best talent in our bank," he said.
Sewing in 2019 announced 18,000 job cuts globally and the closure of some business lines in a bid to return to profit.
"Few observers were confident that we would be able to achieve such ambitious objectives within three and a half years," he said in a letter to staff.
"Today we are proving that we keep our promises," he said.
Deutsche said on Wednesday it would pay a dividend for 2021, its first since 2018, and would also buy back shares.

This week this Huntsville Ballet Company is performing The Phantom of the Ballet and in their honor the bartenders at SiP have created The Phantom Cocktail.
Overall: A sweet cocktail filled with a complexity of flavors. Most well suited for a maduro cigar.
Celebrating Perdomo's 20th year as a premium cigar company from Nicaragua. Semi-box pressed, these cigars are double aged. First aged for 6 years, then for an additional 14 months in bourbon barrels.
Second Third: medium-full body, red pepper pulls up out of the spice mix, leather, cocoa, and cream.
Final Third: full body with a nicotine punch, a nuttiness is added into the mix with the continuing pepper, leather, cocoa, and cream.
Overall: This cigar doesn't have a singular flavor that spearheads itself, rather the flavors go back and forth with different pack leaders between each puff. Every puff is interesting!
Both the cigar and the drink have a lot going on. This cocktail brings an extra sweetness to the cigar. Meanwhile the cigar tones down the drink, balancing the lighter flavors with its rich earth and leather, and pulling the herbal notes to the front of the cocktail.

From its clever puppetry to its strong cast performance, THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE is a visually stunning masterpiece of physical theatre.
Direct from London, the smash hit production of C.S. Lewis' classic THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE is back and at Salford's The Lowry for Christmas!
The show opens with Vera Lynn classic WE'LL MEET AGAIN as Mrs Pevensie says goodbye to her four children. For those unfamiliar with the tale, the storyline entails a gigantic wardrobe taking the four Pevensie children, who are evacuees from London during the Blitz, into the world of Narnia.
This mythical realm suffers a never-ending winter due to the icy reign of the White Witch. The children's arrival signals the beginning of a new age and, with the help of Aslan, The Great Lion and King of all Beasts, together they plan to defeat the queen and allow spring to return.
Karise Yansen, Robyn Sinclair, Shaka Kalokoh and Ammar Duffus play the parts of the four adventurous Pevensie children, Lucy, Susan, Edmund and Peter respectively. They are a strong quartet, together creating a believable sibling relationship. Kalokoh's Edmund is a perfect big brother character, switching from an annoying sibling to a supportive and caring one by the end of the show.

The show takes place within a vibrantly lit circular frame, seamlessly transitioning from the warm-yellow tones of normal life to a cool bright white for Narnia. A real stand out is the work of the Puppetry Director Toby Olie and Puppetry Designer Max Humphries.
From the clever train created from suitcases in the opening sequence, to the incredible Aslan brought to life by three puppeteers and actor Chris Jarad, every single puppet is visually stunning and cleverly delivered. Jarad's portrayal of The Great Lion really brings across his character, and the puppet really allows you to really see and connect with his emotion at the time.
Samantha Womack gives a tremendous performance as the White Witch, getting across the cold, icy villain that she is. The character's wispy, stern voice and her confident gliding across the stage really asserts her authority to the audience that this is her world, and nobody must take it away. The use of height in her staging is cleverly done, from her floating on her chariot to flying high above the audience, and really added to the wow factor this show oozes.

This production has so many elements. It's a visually stunning masterpiece which uses every element of physical theatre to bring life to this powerful show. Throughout the cast are seamless and the character's costumes are incredibly detailed. Every single one has been clearly and cleverly thought out, whilst still allowing your own imagination to wander – it's not every day you see a beaver with a racquet for a tail! The beautiful designs add yet another stand out factor to this high-quality show.
This critically acclaimed, high-end, enchanting production is simply magical. Head to Salford this Christmas and let your imagination run away with you… we were all children once, after all.
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE runs at The Lowry, Salford until 15th January 2022.
After working within The Lowry's Communications team for many years, Nicky Jones is now on the other side of the stage – reviewing many shows across the North West each month! She's particularly partial to musicals and music concerts, and enjoys life behind a lens.

George A. Walker, ed., Graphic Witness: Four Wordless Graphic Novels
Graphic Witness: Four Wordless Graphic Novels by George A. Walker
This book, edited by George A. Walker, collects four wordless novels or picture novels of the early twentieth century. The picture novel is a form that flourished largely between the two world wars and was then forgotten except for a few devotees, most of them comics creators who saw in these visual narratives the forerunners of the modern graphic novel. And, as the graphic novel has risen to prominence, so the picture novels have been recovered.
As the title of Graphic Witness implies, the authors of these picture novels conceived of themselves as moral chroniclers, depicting in vivid and iconic imagery the evils and passions of their time. Walker's superb introduction charts a global movement that begins in Europe around the Great War, arrives in America in time for the Depression, and finds its way to Japan after World War II before working its way back to the West. The creators of this new form were, broadly, men of the left, protesting the brutalization of the worker under capitalism, the inhumane conditions of the modern metropolis, and the state/capital war-machine that set the workers of the nations at each other's throats. (The political ambiguities of this interwar working-man's leftism, with its idealization of blood and soil and its fear/adulation of the feminine, is discussed in my review of Lynd Ward's Gods' Man.) On top of that, Walker's introduction also includes a set of informative sidebars on the technique of wood, linoleum, or lead engraving as employed by the creators of the picture novels.
A brief afterword by the Canadian cartoonist Seth reflects on the relation of these picture novels to comics and, later, the graphic novel. His conclusion is a complex one: the picture-novelists themselves, he says, were obviously influenced by silent film and at pains to distance their work from the vulgar comic strip; yet their abortive ambition to create adult narratives using sequential art has been realized today in the form of the graphic novel—which is, aesthetically, in continuity with the comics tradition going back to the Yellow Kid that the picture novelists eschewed. This nuanced and somewhat counterintuitive interpretation seems right to me.
To the books themselves:
Frans Masereel, The Passion of a Man: The Belgian artist Masereel, later a friend of George Grosz and praised by Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse, is considered the first major figure in the picture novel tradition. This brief narrative, which goes from a man's birth in poverty to his execution as a revolutionary, is an allegory for the suffering of the individual in the modern world. Its title and its title page evoke the Passion of Christ as an analogue for man caught in the industrial machinery (though one image in the narrative makes clear, by showing a cross hanging behind the court that sentences the hero to death, that official Christianity is on the side of the oppressors). Masereel's images are blocky and primitive, almost medieval, as befits his point of view on the subject matter; though broadly Expressionist, there is none of the modernist stylishness that will characterize later artists' styles in their own woodcut novels. The hero is at several points refreshed by women—from his mother, who breastfeeds him behind a fence in her urban outcast state, to a lover who oedipally propositions him by displaying her own breast—and by nature and study—he decides to lead a revolt against the capitalists after brooding in the forest and then reading a book (never named—The Communist Manifesto? Bernie Sanders's platform?). The narrative's brevity and simplicity are at once its strength and weakness: it tells the moral truth without subtlety or pretension, yes, but are Masereel's nobly suffering poor women, broodingly thoughtful working heroes, and bloodthirsty capitalist fatcats an adequate representation of the modern? The point is not to chide Masereel for lacking political nuance—which is not a legitimate aesthetic criterion—but to note the loss of interest that comes from his retailing of cliches. His ideas of good and evil are so utterly received, rather than imagined, that the book fails to live up to its passionate title.
Lynd Ward, Wild Pilgrimage: This is a more surreal version of the story one finds in Masereel (and in Ward's earlier Gods' Man, irritatingly mis-titled God's Man throughout Walker's introduction). In this version of the "oppressed worker escapes/revolts" narrative, the worker's fantasy sequences are printed in red, in distinction to the realistic black ink that predominates. Ward's woodcut technique is polished, owing as much to Art Deco as to Expressionism, with fine lines and iconic figures. Such artifice pleasingly contrasts with the novel's "wild" depiction of nature as a free but threatening space—including the sexual nature of men. Ward's superiority over Masereel and the other artists in Graphic Witness is indicated by Wild Pilgrimage's final red-printed dream sequence, in which the worker-hero attacks the fatcat capitalist and decapitates him, only to find that he is holding up his own head. Which is to say: what if the external enemy posited by socialism and fascism alike is not external at all, but is rather the resentful projection onto others of our own appetites? (And how many sociopolitical movements of today would have to grind to a halt if their partisans seriously asked themselves that difficult question?) It is this psychological insight that sets Ward above the other merely political practitioners of the picture novel collected in this volume. He is less a witness than a prophet.
Giacomo Patri, White Collar: This, a kind of pamphlet sponsored by organized labor, hammers home a fairly simple allegory about the economic fragility of the middle class, and the consequent benefits to that class of allying with the workers' movement. (One imagines an organizer distributing it today to graduate students in the humanities.) Patri's linocut art is as clear as it needs to be, if sometimes far too literal (as when a chain store helpfully labelled "Chain Store" drives the protagonist's small shop out of business). The message remains relevant—if not necessarily unimpeachable—but this is propaganda, not art.
Laurence Hyde, Southern Cross: This book, the only post-WWII text collected here, protests the testing of nuclear weapons at Bikini Atoll, and the consequent despoiling of that island's environment and disruption of its inhabitants' lives. But Hyde's beautiful art—especially in his depiction of marine life—is in service to a sentimental allegory about "noble savages" that undermines rather than reinforces the book's political message: would it somehow be better to nuke the Atoll if its inhabitants were a population of office workers or, dare I say, leftist woodcut novelists? Lovely art, though.
In conclusion, this is a valuable historical compilation, but its contents, with the exception of Wild Pilgrimage, mostly belong to the history of propaganda rather than to the history of art—a timely warning to today's politics-besotted generation of the dangers of political art, even as it also reminds us of lost possibilities for visual narrative. A blurb by Neil Gaiman on the back cover speaks of "the genius of Ward, Masereel, Patri and Hyde," but on the evidence of these four books, only Ward seems to merit the term.

Who were the Puritans? What did they seek to achieve? What were their successes and failures? Are they of any importance to Christians today? We firmly believe that all Christians need to discover the important story of how these men and women sought to follow Jesus Christ. Their convictions resulted in a brave and joyful faith, and the writing they have left us on the Christian life continues to be a rich resource for our own discipleship. Meeting the Puritans by listening to them has enriched both of us more than we can express. And so, in The Glory of Grace , we want to introduce you to people who had a deep love for Jesus Christ and a great vision for the Christian life. We all have much to learn… Each chapter contains a concise introduction followed by carefully selected excerpts from key Puritan works, together with suggestions for further reading.
The Glory Of Grace by Allen, Lewis; Chester, Tim was published by Banner of Truth Trust in December 2018 and is our 7095th best seller. The ISBN for The Glory Of Grace is 9781848718340.

An advertising video that recounts the 150-year-long history of the Turkish Red Crescent (Kızılay) by depicting real scenes from the humanitarian organization's participation in natural disasters and conflicts worldwide was introduced Tuesday.
The video – which aims to raising awareness about the importance of humanitarian assistance – was introduced at an event in Istanbul's Sarıyer district with the participation of Kızılay Chairman Kerem Kınık, the video's director Serter Tırmık and world-renowned pianist and composer Anjelika Akbar, who composed the soundtrack.
Kınık said that they wanted to tell Kızılay's 150-year-long story like a dream, and decided to accomplish that through the video.
"Nowadays, when we need a lot of good people and goodness, we need to present the story of goodness, which we bring to life with cooperation," Kınık said, adding: "We are here with this beautiful movie. Our story of 150 years is the story of our nation."
The video, which took almost four months to shoot, depicts the conflicts and disasters in which Kızılay has taken an active role, including its work in World War I, treatment provided to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, during the Turkish-Italian Tripoli War in 1912, the works carried out by Kızılay's Women's Center during the Turkish War of Independence in 1912, and rescue work during the Erzincan earthquake in 1939. More recent events highlighted in the video include Kızılay's humanitarian responses to the Cyprus Peace Operation in 1974, the devastating 2004 tsunami in Indonesia and, most recently, the Syrian civil war.
Each event was shot with accuracy to the historical period in regard to costumes and props.
The video was published in three versions – 1 minute 56 seconds, 1 minute, and 45 seconds.
The Turkish Red Crescent was originally founded in 1868 as the Society for Aiding Wounded and Ailing Ottoman Soldiers before taking its current name in 1947. Its primary goal was to help soldiers wounded on the fronts, but over time, it evolved into a charity responding to natural and man-made disasters around the world.
Today, it is the largest humanitarian organization in Turkey, with an international network to help other nations in need. The charity, marking its 150th anniversary this year, stepped up international activities in recent years, shedding its image of focusing mostly on humanitarian aid within Turkey.
The organization is currently coordinating responses to areas hit by conflict, poverty and natural disasters across the globe, from Yemen to Syria.

Tips to prevent cybercrimes in Education sectors
WE_TE December 7, 2021
The year 2020 was undoubtedly the only year where the entire world has depended so much on technology, to provide an alternative to the physical world. One such need of dependency or requirement of technology arose in the education sector, where every classroom of a school or a college was shifted online. This massive surge in usage of internet and technology and the increase in the numbers of users also provided the criminals with a new set of vulnerable group which didn't exist before. In a recent report published by barracuda networks, over 1000 schools, colleges and universities were attacked as a part of spear-phishing campaigns by the Cyber-criminals, between the months of June and September. Even before the Global Pandemic there have been countless instances where the educational institutions have fallen prey to the attacks of cyber-criminals, like a school in Long Island, New York had to pay the cyber-criminal about $100,000 in bitcoin to recover the data of their school after being hijacked by a Ransomware. However, to protect the institution and Student data and prevent any such malicious activity there are certain measures and techniques which schools can employ.
Create an Information Security infrastructure which is compliant with modern Standards
The fundamental security measure which an institution should employ is the implementation of Reasonable Security measures as prescribed under IT act, 2000 and its subsequent rules. The debate of whether an Educational Institutions are statutorily required to follow the said law and procedures is probably not important here, as one can't forget that these Institutions hold Personal and Sensitive personal data of all their students and Employees such as their Marksheets, Government issued Identification documents, Biometric information, Transcripts etc, which shouldn't be compromised in any way. One such method of implementing reasonable Information security practice could be to implement the International Standard IS/ISO/IEC 27001 on "Information Technology – Security Techniques – Information Security Management System – Requirements". The same is recognized internationally as standard for managing an organization's information security by addressing people and processes as well as technology and mentioned in the Information Technology (Reasonable security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data or information) Rules, 2011 as well.
Dedicated Team for Handling Information Security and Cyber Safety
The work of this dedicated team would be different from the regular IT admins employed by the Institutions, generally for handling schools IT infrastructure. The main job of this team would be to manage the Network Security, User devices and Security of the Data Storage Infrastructure of the Institution. A lot of times , even after having the best practises in place, these incidents occur through the devices of individuals who are part of the institution, therefore it will be the job of this team to handle all the end user peripherals and devices and make sure it doesn't affect the network and institutions data and infrastructure.
Investing in good Data Storage and Backup Solutions
As mentioned before, the data held by the institutions should never be in a position to be compromised because of its nature. Therefore, it only makes sense to get the employ the services of a good Data Storage Solution where they can provide n+1 or even n+n storage solution and minimum downtimes. While they would seem very expensive at the beginning, the consequential costs of a possible attack could costs way more than these expenses.
Getting Cyber Insurance
The above mentioned incident of that school in New York, was only resolved, as the school was able to shell out $88,000, because the school had invested in an insurance which covered Cyber attacks. As mentioned before, with this increased use of technology, which is resulting in more and more collection of personal and sensitive personal data, and subsequently in more and more of these cyberattacks despite the implementation of best security practices. It only makes sense to also look at the various options of Insurance policies which cover these Cyber incidents such as covering the expenses incurred due to an ransomware attack, litigation expenses, statutary expenses etc.
Improving Cyber and Digital Literacy
Besides the implementation of Infrastructural changes and measures, the institutions should also look inwards and provide knowledge and resources to the people who are associated with them. One such measure was adopted by the CBSE last year, which in association with Cyber Peace Foundation, created a handbook for Students aiming to provide them with various tenets of digital literacy and Cyber safety and help them to navigate through technology and Internet.

Tax court judge rules in favor of artist accused of underpaying IRS
On Behalf of Baker Law Firm, P.C. | Oct 7, 2014 | Back Taxes or Tax Debt
Many Americans dream of being an artist – a painter, an actor, a musician, a poet or any other medium that allows for creative expression. The problem with this career path, however, is that few artists are successful enough to make a profit, much less a living.
Therefore, many artists pursue their creative work either as a hobby or as a supplement to other paid work like teaching. But when its time to pay taxes, The Internal Revenue Service might have a bone to pick when it comes to calling yourself a professional artist.
This was the problem faced by one woman who has been both a professional artist and a college art professor for decades. Although her art has been critically successful, there were only three years in which she netted a profit. Teaching was the source of her steady income.
According to the New York Times, the woman's art brought in an average of $16,000 per year. However, the tax deductions she claimed for art-related expenses often exceeded that income. In 2010, the IRS alleged that she had been underpaying her taxes and owed at least $81,000. Moreover, the IRS alleged, she had erroneously listed herself as both a teacher and an artist. The agency felt that her status as an artist was not professional, which meant that she could not claim tax deductions "in excess of her income."
Recently, a tax court judge ruled in favor of the woman, saying that she should be considered a professional artist. This is because she had "met her burden of proving that in carrying on her activity as an artist, she had an actual and honest objective of making a profit."
This ruling could be an important one for all Americans trying to pursue a similar double career doing creative work in addition to a more "sensible" job to supplement income.

I've just updated my blog design and have changed a few elements, such as adding a new blog roll.
It seems like years since I've ever heard this word said or written, but I want to experiment with bringing it back - albeit slightly differently from how I did things before.
These days, a librarian type blog which is active and has posted within the last year or so is kind of special. I want to do my little bit to help these blogs become known and read. These days we need to help each other out.
I don't want a massive blog roll which overwhelms the layout of this blog, and I don't want it to become a chore to maintain it or feel that it needs to be complete. So instead I want to have a short blog roll of a dozen so, and every so often I'll change it, to highlight different active blogs.


The Low FODMAP diet was developed by researchers at Monash University. The Monash team, led by Peter Gibson, provided the first evidence that a Low FODMAP diet improves IBS symptoms. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder. I lived most my adult life thinking I had IBS. However at age 48 I was diagnosed Celiac. FINALLY! While dealing with not feeling well from food through the my life.I became a vegetarian for 7 years then a pescatarian for yet a few more years. I did soup diets, cleanses and so on, all in an effort to get better. While I felt somewhat better it never offered me what I was looking for. So for years I just struggled with food and not feeling good. I never knew why I had all this trouble but gave up enjoying food. I just thought I'd never find the balance between eating and feeling well. FODMAPs was what I was searching for, I just didn't know it. Knowing I'm Celiac has brought me relief. Yes, relief. Beacuse knowing I'm Celiac has given me freedom to love what I am eating without the fear of being sick. I feel great and I live well now. I use FODMAPs to deal with my symptoms after I'm "glutened".
I'm now 50 and FODMAPISH to maintain those good vibes between life and food. It's not just all about avoiding gluten for me. I want to live, eat and share how I overcame my digestive issues and created my own happiness. I now enjoy living this life to the fullest. No sacrifices here only enjoyment. The low FODMAP LIFESTLYE is what I was searching for most my life. I say lifestyle because that's how I approach it all. First of all FODMAPs are Not a constant diet. It should be a reoccurring diet. Meaning I need it to deal with reoccurring issues. Which is why I call it "ish". It's not just about food. It's about eating out, having drinks, being a mom, a wife. Being Celiac has its challenges all around me, but..I got this!
I've never felt better, it's like I've been waiting my whole life to turn 50. REALLY!
Gluten was the obvious problem in my diet.Going gluten-free was a must do for me. It put me in situations where I was forced to put me first. I had to speak up or insist on certain things. I had to watch out for me. It seemed all around me were those people who either don't get the gluten thing or they think that they do but don't. Then there are those people who just can't understand because they don't want to. Oh and lastly the ones who can't stand that you now that you're gluten-free now.'im not going to sugar coat it, I've lost friends along the way. Those who couldn't support me I passed by. I have mention that a few friends were even mean, shocking right? Most friends and family were understanding so no worries. It all became a large part of my life. BUT… with that said, I don't make eating gluten-free very fussy at all. I now actually live with more ease than I ever did. I less apprehensions, less stress and I smile more than ever.
Following gluten free and low FODMAP diets allow me to feel better inside and out. It helps me deal with symptoms when I'm "glutened". I hope it offers you the same freedom and joy it brings to my life.

685 words - 3 pages policy is pressuring the judiciary system to cut costs as much as they can.The Australian Judiciary system in theory is one that promotes equality and fairness before the law. However, the Courts themselves are intimidating and bewildering places that only increase to the already high levels of stress and anxiety of the people involved. Many changes can be put in place to help alleviate these problems such as new architectural design and layouts, and new, less intimidating courtroom proceedings. However, these changes seem unlikely to ever happen as the system bogs down in outdated ceremony and procedures and the fear that changes would be too costly.

"From the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water." (29:10)
Home->Nitzavim-> 5760
Everybody was present that day, from the woodcutter to the water carrier. Is this the correct sequence? Should it not be worded, "From your leadership all the way down to your woodchoppers" or "From your goldsmiths to your woodchoppers"? One would think that the woodchopper and water carrier are basically on an equal level. Shivim Panim LaTorah suggests the following idea: When the ax is raised up over the head of the woodchopper, the "ax" would never consider that it is higher or more distinguished than the woodchopper, because the woodchopper is the one who is raising it up. Likewise, when the pail is lowered into a well, would the water-drawer even for a moment think that he is on a higher plateau than the pail? After all, if he would not have lowered the pail, it would have been on the same elevation as he.
This analogy may be applied to our leadership. The leaders should never feel they are on a higher level than the people whom they serve, because without the people who selected them as their leaders, they would be no more distinguished than the common person. No leader should ever look down upon any person, because ultimately the leader is responsible for the development of the people he serves. If they do not ascend, it is because he is a poor leader. The leadership have an enormous responsibility. That is why they have been selected for this position. If the leaders fail in their charge, if they do not succeed in elevating their community both spiritually and morally, then, not only do they not deserve their position, they are actually depriving the community of their due. They should take a lesson from the woodcutter and water-drawer.
No Jew is unimportant. Every person has great value. The ability to value and appreciate each individual is the sign of a great person and one who truly deserves to be a leader. Horav Shmuel z.l., m'Lubavitch had among his many followers a wealthy diamond merchant by the name of Reb Monya Mosinson. One time, Reb Monya was sitting with a group of chassidim at the Rebbe's table and the conversation turned to the poverty which beleaguered the Russian Jewish community. Suddenly, in middle of the conversation, the Rebbe began to laud the poor Jewish workers who slaved from early morning until late at night in order to provide for their families. They preferred to be subject to the most difficult backbreaking labor, rather than live off communal offerings.
Reb Monya interjected, "I am surprised that the Rebbe is making such a to-do about these simple people." "These people possess many valuable virtues" the Rebbe countered. "I do not see their qualities," Reb Monya responded, as he motioned with his hand in a condescending and derogatory manner.
The Rebbe did not reply to this disparaging remark. The next morning the Rebbe asked Reb Monya if he had brought a collection of diamonds with him. Reb Monya immediately proceeded to take out his bag of diamonds and spread them out on the table. He was so excited about his wares that he began to point out the exceptional qualities of each individual diamond. "I see nothing special about these diamonds," the Rebbe said in a mocking manner. "Rebbe!" Reb Monya exclaimed in a slightly higher voice, "One must be a maven, proficient and adept in the value of diamonds, before he can pass judgment on these stones. Diamonds are remarkable stones whose individual beauty and value one must learn to appreciate." Upon hearing this, the Rebbe looked at Reb Manya. With a stern accusing tone, he reminded the diamond merchant of the conversation they had had the previous day, "This same idea applies to every Jew. Each and every Jew has inestimable value. Only it takes a maven to recognize this."
"Because you did not serve Hashem, your G-d, amid gladness and goodness of heart." (28:47)

3 DAYS EXPLORING THE WONDERFUL WINELANDS IN CAPE TOWN AFRICA
South Africa's Western Cape
Day 1: Touring the mouth-watering Winelands
Day 2: The Beauty of Constantia
Day 3: Explore the beauty of Cape Town
Best Time to Visit Cape Town
How Safe is Cape Town?
How Expensive Is Cape Town?
Cape Town Private Wine Tasting
For voyagers with just a couple of days to spare, Cape Town is an astounding destination to explore and have a sample of South Africa best wine along with its world-class dining experience has more than enough reasons to put Cape Town on your next coming itinerary.
Spread over 40,000 square miles, the Cape Winelands include numerous regions, each with its own distinctive scenery, terroirs, and wine routes studded with gracious estates. Closest to Cape Town is the leafy suburb of Constantia, the country's oldest wine region; Groot Constantia estate is 332 years old this year.
After that, drive to the historical celebrated regions of Stellenbosch, Paarl, Robertson, Wellington, and Franschhoek. Apart from the Western Cape, South Africa's ever-growing viticulture industry proceeds as far as possible up into the Northern Cape, the Orange Free State, and even the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal.
Cape Town is wine heaven most of the wineries here are accessible as a day trip from the city.
Almost all the South African wine estates are set up to receive casual visitors. Online booking is often possible, but seldom necessary. Travelers will likely find a warm welcome from the well-informed staff with a passion for their product.
Some estates still offer free tastings, while others charge a nominal fee; it's anything from 30 to 100 South African rand (around $2 to $6.50) to sample several labels. And relax — there's no pressure to buy.
Pouring tends to be more generous than in California's Napa Valley or Western Australia's Margaret River. While serious connoisseurs who prefer to merely taste and spit could probably hire a car and drive themselves, a better option for the rest of us is to join a wine tour that will pick you up from your hotel or apartment. And if you've mapped out an itinerary, it's perfectly possible — and probably cheaper — to get around by Uber.
There are 900 estates producing more than 9,000 labels annually in the Western Cape Town of South Africa since 1980;
Boschendal Brut, a delicious chardonnay pinot noir blend that beats the pants off many a French Champagne
The Chocolate Box, a decadently silky syrah from Boekenhoutskloof winery in the Franschhoek Valley
Meerlust Rubicon, an elegant Bordeaux blend from the Stellenbosch area
Vin de Constanz, the perennially popular and naturally sweet muscat blanc à petit grains (a white grape varietal) from Constantia
For an introduction to the Winelands, drive 40 minutes east from Cape Town along the N1 motorway to the atmospheric university town of Stellenbosch with its evocative lanes, artisanal boutiques, and 18th-century colonial Cape-Dutch architecture.
From Stellenbosch it's a 10-minute drive along picturesque Helshoogte Road to Delaire Graff Estate. Previously owned by wine-and-food buffs John and Erica Platter — the annual "Platter's South African Wine Guide" is a local bible — Delaire was acquired in 2003 by Englishman Laurence Graff of Graff Diamonds and has been transformed into a fabulous destination for art, high-end retail, luxurious hospitality, and wine appreciation. The Wine Lounge offers a relaxed and elegant tasting experience, either indoors or alfresco.
A wine tasting in the Western Cape.
Across the way on the slopes of Simonsberg mountain is Tokara, a favorite of wine connoisseurs. It can also be visited by an Airbus helicopter that departs from Cape Town's V&A Waterfront, in which case it would be silly not to make a day of it with lunch at the fine-dining Tokara Restaurant.
Next door to Tokara is Thelema Mountain Vineyards, most famous for its rich cabernet sauvignon. Here you can also taste wines from the cooler Elgin region where Thelema winegrower Gyles Webb owns another estate.
From there, follow the R45 to Groot Drakenstein and stop at Boschendal — if only for a photo of its circa-1812 homestead, an evocative example of Cape-Dutch gabled architecture. What's more, its chardonnay pinot noir MCC (or Méthode Cap Classique, referring to the bottle fermentation process) is eminently quaffable.
Cape Dutch architecture can be found on Cape Highlands' wine estates.
With several wine-tasting sessions under your belt, it's likely time for lunch. Continue to the enchanting village of Franschhoek, originally settled by my own ancestors — French Huguenots who fled France in the 17th century to escape religious persecution for their Calvinist Protestant beliefs and who subsequently made an important contribution to wine production in the area.
The town is home to the fabulous Reuben's, located in a bright and spacious converted warehouse. Celebrated chef Reuben Riffel (born in the area) owns several eateries around the country and opened this one in 2017; he has another in nearby Chamonix, where he cut his culinary teeth.
Leave some room for a tasting at award-winning L'Ormarins Wine Estate, now owned by billionaire Johann Rupert and still part of the Anthonij Rupert wine stable.
Before returning to Cape Town, take the R45 to Simondium to reach one of the oldest and most historic Cape-Dutch farms, Babylonstoren. It offers a 30-minute tour of its wine cellar and olive press as well as a restaurant, tasting room, and an inspirational fruit and vegetable garden.
Just a 20-minute ride from downtown Cape Town, Constantia's wine estates are ideal for a tasting or two (or three), followed by lunch. Luckily, the area's most celebrated restaurants are located within the wineries.
Pair some of Constantia's finest wines with the outstanding cuisine at Chef's Warehouse at Beau Constantia, consistently ranked among South Africa's top 10 restaurants. Lunch is best for appreciating its stunning vineyard views.
Ivor Jones (previously head chef at Test Kitchen) commands a formidable open-kitchen operation that serves up a tapas-style adventure. Think line fish sashimi larb, smoked coconut, and toasted rice; coal-seared tuna with barbecue turmeric dressing; beef tartare with port and herb jellies and rye and onion crisp — and that's just the first three of eight courses.
La Colombe Restaurant on Silvermist Wine Estate in Constantia Nek is another of South Africa's top-notch fine dining establishments, offering French-Asian inspired tasting menus in a delightful treehouse-style dining room. Or try Bistro Sixteen82, a relaxed restaurant in the lovely setting of Steenberg Estate.
Cape Town's has many to offer, some highlights include riding the cable car to the top of Table Mountain for stupendous views, shopping for pan-African souvenirs at Greenmarket Square, and taking the picturesque coastal drive from Camps Bay to Llandudno past the Twelve Apostles mountain range to the charismatic fishing village of Hout Bay.
Cape Town has hundreds of restaurants with a wide range of cuisines and wines at exceptionally reasonable prices for the international traveler. However reputations rise and fall with time, so be warned: a randomly-chosen eatery in the touristy area by the Waterfront may prove disappointing.
The Test Kitchen in the suburb of Woodstock is helmed by U.K. chef Luke Dale-Roberts and was rated as one of the world's Top 50 restaurants in 2019. Or try Fyn (pronounced "Fain"), the new downtown restaurant by chef Peter Tempelhoff that is serving kaiseki-style fusion food and receiving rave reviews. For dinner and a show, get a seat at the kitchen counter and watch the chefs at work.
Villa 47 is a relaxed bistro where chef Clayton Bell presides over delicious Italian fares such as carpaccio of octopus and the lightest tortellini this side of Bologna. For old-school Italian with traditionally dour service, Seapoint's La Perla remains a top hangout for Capetonians.
While in this area, pop into the friendly Frogitt & Vonkel wine bar for a pre- or post-dinner glass. The bar serves a selection of wines from estates around Cape Town, but also South Africa at large as well as Namibia.
Cape town is exciting, funky, and cosmopolitan. It is one of the beautiful cities in the world. There are many reasons for travelers choose to visit Cape Town, the abundance of scenic and natural attraction, situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain, is one of the world's Seven Wonders of Nature.
Cape Town has a slightly more temperate climate than some other parts of South Africa, with four seasons. Cape Town is a 365-day destination. The best times to visit Cape Town are from March to May and from September to November.
Cape Town's summer is the most popular and most expensive time to visit. Hotels and attractions are usually overflowing with travelers. The chilly weather around June and August with frequent rainfall puts a damper on tourist activities.
Autumn in Cape Town is the ideal time for wine tasting. The beginning of the annual wine harvest. Many of the wineries around Cape Town allow visitors to participate in the gathering and juicing of grapes.
Cape Town isn't the most secure city on the planet, regardless of where you will be, you can guard yourself by being cautious and utilizing a good judgment. Try to avoid strolling outside alone around evening time, particularly in the case if you're a lady or have been drinking.
You might like to stare clear from some of the zones like the V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay, and the Gardens neighborhood.
Cape Town is costly than the urban areas in Africa, depend on where you go and do, in general, Cape Town is more costly compare with other parts of South Africa. Cape Town is home to a lot of hiker inns, a significant number of which serve moderate food and sling at a reasonable price.
