Ο Master Chef Λάμπρος Βακιάρος στην κουζίνα με τα παιδιά της «Αποστολής» 

Με αφορμή την «Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Προσφύγων», ο

 ταλαντούχος νικητής του Master Chef Λάμπρος Βακιάρος

 μοιράστηκε τα μυστικά της μαγειρικής και της τεχνικής του με

 παιδιά που εγκατέλειψαν τα σπίτια τους εξαιτίας του 

πολέμου και της οικονομικής αστάθειας και φιλοξενούνται

 στον Ξενώνα «Εστία» του Φιλανθρωπικού Οργανισμού 

«ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΗ».

Ο Λάμπρος με τους νέους βοηθούς του από τη Συρία, το Αφγανιστάν και το

 Πακιστάν δημιούργησε μια ιδιαίτερη συνταγή που συνδυάζει την ελληνική 

κουζίνα και την κουζίνα της Ανατολής. Οι πέντε νεαροί επίδοξοι Chef, υπό τις

 οδηγίες του γνωστού Master Chef, προετοίμασαν και μαγείρεψαν κοτόπουλο και

 σως με κάρυ, για να τη σερβίρουν με αραβικές πίτες σε όλους τους φίλους τους,

 που ζουν ξέγνοιαστες στιγμές στην κατασκήνωση της Αρχιεπισκοπής Αθηνών 

στον Αυλώνα.

«Το φαγητό μάς ενώνει περισσότερο απ’ όλα γιατί είναι «αγάπη». Το φτιάχνεις με

αγάπη για να το προσφέρεις και να ευχαριστήσεις», λέει με χαμόγελο ο νεαρός

 νικητής του δημοφιλούς τηλεπαιχνιδιού που μια μέρα σαν κι αυτή έσπευσε να 

βρεθεί στο πλευρό των ασυνόδευτων παιδιών προσφύγων, των πιο ευάλωτων της 

προσφυγικής κρίσης. «Μ’ αρέσει να βοηθάω αυτά τα παιδιά και βλέπω πως έχουνε

 ενέργεια μέσα τους κι έχουν πολλά να δώσουν».

Πάνω από 65 εκατομμύρια άνθρωποι έχουν αναγκαστεί να εγκαταλείψουν τις εστίες

 τους για να ξεφύγουν από τον πόλεμο, τη βία και την ανέχεια. Σχεδόν 20

 εκατομμύρια από αυτούς είναι πρόσφυγες και πάνω από τους μισούς είναι παιδιά. 

«Στην «ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΗ» και στον Ξενώνα «ΕΣΤΙΑ» γινόμαστε καθημερινά μάρτυρες

 του θάρρους, της υπομονής και της επιμονής των ασυνόδευτων παιδιών 

προσφύγων, τα οποία φιλοξενούμε και κάνουν όνειρα για το μέλλον τη στιγμή που

 έχουν χάσει το σπίτι τους και σε κάποιες περιπτώσεις κάθε επαφή με την

 οικογένεια τους. Την Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Προσφύγων, ας αναλογιστούμε τη μοίρα

 εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων που δεν έχουν δρόμο επιστροφής, όχι από επιλογή, αλλά

 από ανάγκη. Ας αναρωτηθούμε τι μπορεί να κάνει ο καθένας από εμάς κι ας

 ανοίξουμε την καρδιά και την αγκαλιά μας για αυτούς τους ξεριζωμένους

 ανθρώπους και κυρίως για τα νέα παιδιά. Ας μην ξεχνάμε ότι είμαστε η επιβίωση

και η ελπίδα τους. Θα μας θυμούνται για όσα κάναμε γι΄ αυτούς», υπογραμμίζει

 ο Γενικός Διευθυντής του Φιλανθρωπικού Οργανισμού «ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΗ»,

 Κωνσταντίνος Δήμτσας.

Η καλύβα όπου γεννήθηκε η Νίνα Σιμόν μπήκε στον θησαυρό Αμερικανικής κληρονομιάς 

Το ξύλινο, πάμφτωχο και ερειπωμένο σπίτι όπου γεννήθηκε η Νίνα Σιμόν, το 1933,

 στη Βόρεια Καρολίνα, αποτελεί πλέον μέρος του «εθνικού αμερικανικού θησαυρού».

Η απόφαση ελήφθη την Τρίτη 19 Ιουνίου από την εθνική επιτροπή για την ιστορική

 διάσωση, με αφορμή τον μήνα αφρο-αμερικανικής μουσικής.

Η γενική διευθύντρια της επιτροπής, Stephanie Meeks, απέτισε φόρο τιμής στην

 εμβληματική τραγουδίστρια, η οποία «δεν μοιάζει με κανέναν άλλο στην 

Αμερική», όπως είπε.

Σημαντικές εργασίας ανακαίνισης στο εν λόγω σπίτι θα ξεκινήσουν στις 

προσεχείς εβδομάδες, σε συνεργασία με τέσσερις αφρο-αμερικανούς καλλιτέχνες

 (ζωγράφους, γλύπτες και σκηνοθέτη) οι οποίοι αγόρασαν το σπίτι το 2017.

Η ηθοποιός Phylicia Rashad θα γίνει πρέσβειρα της καμπάνιας ανακαίνισης του

 σπιτιού, την οποία προωθεί η Fondation Ford.

Η Νίνα Σιμόν (στο πραγματικό όνομά της Γιουνίς Κάθλην Γουέημον, Eunice

 Kathleen Waymon, 1933 - 2003)  γεννήθηκε στην πόλη Τράιον της Καρολίνα, ήταν 

το έκτο από τα οκτώ παιδιά πολυμελούς οικογένειας. Εδώ η Νίνα Σιμόν, μπροστά 

στο σπίτι της, σε ηλικία 8 ετών:

Στην παραλία Θεσσαλονίκης το 9 μέτρων γλυπτό του Βαρώτσου -Μέσα σε δεξαμενή με νερό

Μέσα σε μια υδάτινη δεξαμενή στη Νέα Παραλία της

Θεσσαλονίκης θα βρίσκεται το γλυπτό «Φιλία – Amicizia», 

ύψους εννέα μέτρων, του καλλιτέχνη Κώστα Βαρώτσου.

Η διαμόρφωση του περιβάλλοντος χώρου για την κατασκευή και τοποθέτηση

 του έργου, που αποτελεί δωρεά του Σταύρου Ανδρεάδη, έλαβε το «πράσινο φως»

 από το δημοτικό συμβούλιο του κεντρικού δήμου.

Η μελέτη προβλέπει τη διαμόρφωση του περιβάλλοντος χώρου και της

 τοποθέτησης του γλυπτού στην εξέδρα μπροστά από το ξενοδοχείο Μακεδονία

 Παλλάς, εκεί όπου παλαιότερα βρισκόταν το «Φεγγαράκι στην Ακτή», σε θέση

 εγκεκριμένη από τον συντονιστή Αποκεντρωμένης Διοίκησης Μακεδονίας και

 Θράκης.

Το έργο

 του Κώστα Βαρώτσου συμφωνα με σχεδιάγραμμα 

Αντιδράσεις για το σημείο που θα τοποθετηθεί το γλυπτό υπήρξαν από τους

 Φίλους της Νέας Παραλίας, με τον αρχιτέκτονα, Πρόδρομο Νικηφορίδη, να

 υποστηρίζει πως «οποιοδήποτε νέο στοιχείο οφείλει να σεβαστεί και να ενταχθεί

 στο περιβάλλον και να προσθέτει πως το εργοτάξιο που θα στηθεί για τους

 επόμενους μήνες θα προκαλέσει "αναστάτωση"στο χώρο». Παράλληλα ο

 κ.Νικηφορίδης, έθεσε θέμα ασφάλειας για κατοίκους και επισκέπτες λόγω της

 μεγάλης υδάτινης δεξαμενής μέσα στην οποία θα βρίσκεται το γλυπτό.

Απαντώντας, ο αντιδήμαρχος Τεχνικών Εργων, Περιβάλλοντος και Καθαριότητας,

 Θανάσης Παππάς, είπε πως απαιτήθηκαν δύο χρόνια για να λάβει ο δήμος 

Θεσσαλονίκης τις εγκρίσεις για τη χωροθέτηση του γλυπτού στο συγκεκριμένο

 σημείο, συμπληρώνοντας πως το γλυπτό του Βαρώτσου μπορεί να αποτελέσει 

τοπόσημο.
«Συνάδει το έργο με τη Νέα Παραλία και θα είναι σε αρμονία με το άλλο εικαστικό

 έργο "Φεγγαράκι στην Ακτή"που θα τοποθετηθεί στο θαλάσσιο μέτωπο»

 υπογράμμισε ο κ.Παππάς.

Με βάση τη συμφωνία, οι απαραίτητες κατασκευές και διαμορφώσεις για την

 πλήρη κατασκευή και τοποθέτηση επιτόπου του γλυπτού βαρύνουν το δωρητή,

 ο οποίος δεσμεύεται ότι θα λάβει όλα τα απαραίτητα μέτρα για την ασφάλεια των

 επισκεπτών της Νέας Παραλίας. Επιπλέον, προβλέπεται ότι ο ίδιος θα προβεί σε

 αποκατάσταση του χώρου και σε επιδιόρθωση ενδεχόμενων βλαβών κατά την

 εκτέλεση των εργασιών.

Η  Μόνικα Μπελούτσι ξανά στην πασαρέλα των Dolce & Gabbana -Επειτα από 26 χρόνια 

Ηταν το μακρινό 1992, όταν η Μόνικα Μπελούτσι ανέβηκε

 στην πασαρέλα των Dolce & Gabbana, εντυπωσιάζοντας με 

την ομορφιά της.

Τι και αν πέρασαν 26 χρόνια από τότε, η Ιταλίδα ηθοποιός πρωταγωνίστησε ξανά

 σε σόου του σχεδιαστικού διδύμου, δίνοντας λίγη παραπάνω λάμψη στην πασαρέλα.

Οι  Dolce & Gabbana παρουσίασαν την κολεξιόν Ανοιξη-Καλοκαίρι 2019, κατά τη

 δεύτερη ημέρα της Εβδομάδας Μόδας του Μιλάνου. Επίκεντρο του catwalk «οι

 αντιθέσεις που σαγηνεύουν» και στόχος του διάσημου οίκου οι millenials, μιας

 και στην πασαρέλα περπάτησαν μεταξύ άλλων ο ηθοποιός Κάμερον Ντάλας,

 γνωστός για τα βίντεο που αναρτά στο Vine, ο Κινέζος τραγουδιστής Κάρι Ουάνγκ

 και ο Κάιλαντ Γουόντερ, ο γιος του τραγουδιστή Στίβι Γουόντερ.

Οι Ιταλοί σχεδιαστές επεφύλαξαν μια έκπληξη στους θεατές, καθώς στην έναρξη

 του σόου περπάτησε η Μόνικα Μπελούτσι. Η ηθοποιός, με αέρα σταρ, εμφανίστηκε

 με κοστούμι σε ανδρόγυνο στιλ, κάνοντας τα φλας να αστράψουν.

Επόμενη έκπληξη, η εμφάνιση της Ναόμι Κάμπελ με ανδρόγυνο κοστούμι, και αυτή,

και καπέλο στα μαλλιά, θυμίζοντας αρχιμαφιόζο.

Στην πασαρέλα περπάτησαν ζευγάρια ετεροφυλόφιλων, άνδρες και γυναίκες, αλλά 

και πιο ηλικιωμένες γυναίκες μαζί με νεαρούς συντρόφους ή πενηντάρηδες με 

μικρότερης ηλικίας γυναίκες στο πλευρό τους.

Το ντεκόρ ήταν σε στυλ μπαρόκ, με χρυσές αποχρώσεις, με ογκώδεις πολυέλαιους, 

καθρέπτες και πολλά στοιχεία με έντονα χρώματα. Η υπερβολή ήταν παντού, όπως

 άλλωστε και στο στιλ της κολεξιόν, κάνοντας τη μοναδική.
