Ποια είναι η ομάδα Pastra Cretonaxiosa;
Η Pastra Cretonaxiosa ξεκίνησε τα πρώτα της βήματα όταν τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2013 οι τρεις αχώριστοι φίλοι οι Βαγγέλης Ζουρμπάκης, Βασίλης Μαρούλης και Ευγενία Τζαννίνη αποφάσισαν να κολυμπήσουν στον πρώτο τους αγώνα του Spetses Marathon.
Δεν ήταν ομάδα, μια ωραία παρέα με πολύ κέφι ήταν. Στην παρέα προστέθηκε λίγο αργότερα ο Σωτήρης Πάστρας ως προπονητής τους και έτσι η παρέα που όμως σιγά σιγά ενηλικιωνόταν σε ομάδα βαφτίστηκε “Pastra Cretonaxiosa” για να έχει “διαβατήριο” όταν οι φίλοι αποφάσισαν την εξόρμηση τους στον διάπλου του Βοσπόρου τον Ιούλιο του 2015.
Μέτα η ομάδα αργότερα προσκάλεσε στο ταξίδι της τον Κωνσταντίνο Μίχο, την Έλλη Φλέγγα τον Θοδωρή Ζουμπουλάκη και τον Αποστόλη Τσαγκαράκη.
Όλοι μοιράζονται τον ίδιο στόχο που ταυτόχρονα είναι και πηγή ενεργείας και γέλιου: να κολυμπήσουν την Μάγχη και ως ανθρωπινή αλυσίδα άλλα και η πρώτη ελληνική ομάδα που το επιχειρεί, να καταφέρουν να διασχίσουν ένα από τα πιο ενδιαφέροντα άλλα και δύσκολα θαλάσσια περάσματα του πλανήτη!
Η ευχή να βγουν νικητές από την αγριάδα της θάλασσας και την δυσκολία των κρύων νερών, τους είναι πλέον από πολύτιμη. Ας τους συνοδεύει!
Τι είναι η «Charity4u – Αθλητισμός για όλους»;
Η «Charity4u – Αθλητισμός για Όλους» είναι μια Μη- Κερδοσκοπική Οργάνωση που ιδρύθηκε το Νοέμβριο του 2016 με βασικό σκοπό την υποστήριξη Ελλήνων αθλητών στην δύσκολη πορεία τους για την κατάκτηση διακρίσεων. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό αναλαμβάνει τη διοργάνωση αθλητικών εκδηλώσεων και συνεδρίων, ενώ παράλληλα συμμετέχει σε αντίστοιχα προγράμματα, τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και στο εξωτερικό.

Jesse Jackson Takes On Rolling Stones
1978Atlantic Records head Ahmet Ertegun meets with Jesse Jackson, who has beef with The Rolling Stones'"Some Girls," specifically the line, "black girls just want to get f--ked all night."
Jackson is head of Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity), which has been fighting against "sex-rock" lyrics in songs, urging record companies to take a "strong ethical posture." He claims the song "degrades blacks and women," and threatens boycotts.
Ertegun passes the buck, telling Jackson that the group has complete creative control, so it's really up to them. Jagger, who ignored Atlantic's warnings that the song would cause problems, is surprised that some listeners aren't getting the joke. He points out that it's not just black girls who are represented in the lyric, but many others as well. For instance:
French girls they want Cartier
Italian girls want cars
American girls want everything in the world
You can possibly imagine
"I really like girls an awfully lot, and I don't think I'd say anything really nasty about any of them," he says. "The song's supposed to be funny."
On October 12, The Stones give Jackson a bromide in the form of a statement that reads:
"It never occurred to us that our parody of certain stereotypical attitudes would be taken seriously by anyone who heard the entire lyric of the song in question. No insult was intended, and if any was taken, we sincerely apologize."
No further action is taken on the song, and Operation PUSH soon shifts its focus to other matters, including affirmative action and corporate equality. Saturday Night Live has some fun with the controversy, with Garrett Morris appearing as a sociologist and asking where he can find these black girls who just want to have sex all night. "You got any phone numbers for me?" he asks.

The Carnival Horizon, the 26th ship in the company's fleet, departed from Barcelona, Spain on April 2, 2018 for its initial cruise. It then held a summer schedule of four-day Bermuda and eight-day Caribbean sailings out of New York. Beginning on September 22, the Carnival Horizon will begin docking at Miami for a year-round schedule of six-day and eight-day Caribbean cruises.
"In addition to the many exciting innovations previously introduced on Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon offers some new one-of-a-kind features and attractions that make this ship truly special allowing our guests to create a lifetime of wonderful vacation memories," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, in a statement.
Carnival Cruise Line has been named "America's Most Trusted Cruise Line" by Reader's Digest four years in a row.
Carnival Horizon introduces multiple novel additions to the cruise ship line. Most notable is its Dr. Seuss-themed outdoor water-park, as well as its unique bike-ride-in-the-sky activity called SkyRide. There is also an IMAX theater onboard, spa cabins, Cuban-themed state-rooms and bars, Guy Fieri-inspired burger and BBQ restaurants.
Take a look below and take a picture tour through the Carnival Horizon, a truly one-of-a-kind cruise ship.
The Carnival Horizon is only the second ship to join Carnival's "Vista line."
The ship is 1,062 feet long and has 133,500 gross tonnage.
There is a 3,960 guest capacity with an additional 1,450 onboard crew number.
Inside the ship, on Deck 3, we find the Horizon Atrium bar and lobby.
Notice how the beautiful sea centerpiece changes color.
At Chef's Table restaurant, located just down the hall, guests will get to enjoy delicious plates while the chef shows up at the table to talk about the meal he made.
In fact, there he is right below with his guests as they enjoy some meat on a skewer.
Right above on Deck 4, The Meridian Restaurant is a fancy spot that is just a short walk from Horizon's exclusive casino.
The Horizon Atrium retail space nearby showcases top brands like Michael Kors, Victoria’s Secret, and Kate Spade.
And the Alchemy Bar on Deck 5 is the perfect place to unwind for a drink after shopping.
Down the hall is the Havana Bar & Pool, a spot featuring Cuban cocktails like Mojitos and Daiquiris served in an old-time Cuban resort environment.
There is also Bonsai Teppanyaki, a Japanese restaurant with meats, fish, tofu, and veggies prepared in-front of guests at their table.
If you're wondering what to do with the kids, they can find lots of things to do at Camp Ocean.
And can even have a crew member read to them.
Teenagers can join in, too, and be entertained by games and hangout spots.
Or maybe just take it easy for a night in the Family Harbor Accommodation Suite.
There are also many entertainment options on Decks 7 and 8. Passengers can head to one of the Horizon's two movie theaters, which includes an IMAX Theater.
Or they can head to the Punchliner Comedy Club for a few laughs.
Throughout the cruise, Playlist Productions will be hosting shows that put a unique spin on audience favorites, all of which will feature visual effects and a live band.
Above deck, we find the Lido Beach Pool, where passengers can hop in for a cool swim.
Or they can go to the Lido Market, which is a great place to shop and eat.
Or they can practice their dance moves on the party floor.
There may be no place more fun onboard than Deck 12. Dr. Seuss Waterworks, the giant water park featuring slides and spray toys is located here.
As is SkyRide, one of the ship's unique thrills.
Passengers can go for a jog below the SkyRide on the Skytrack
Or head to the SportsSquare for mini-golf on the SkyGreens course.
The SkyDeck on Deck 12 is a great place to catch some rays.
Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse features dishes created by Food Network star Guy Fieri for guests to enjoy while they're outside.
Back inside on Deck 12, the SkyFitness Spa is a place where travelers can get a workout in.
Cloud9 Spa services include massages, facials, and Cloud 9’s thermal suites, which are rooms full of moist air with regulated temperatures.
For parents looking to get away, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat on Deck 15 is the perfect place to go.
Adults can sunbath and relax here.
Or simply enjoy peace and quiet along with the sounds of the sea.
Because at the end of the day, when you're on the Carnival Horizon, a beautiful sunset is always waiting for you.

10 αλλόκοτα πράγματα που έκρυβε
ο Michael Jackson στη Neverland
Όλοι έχετε ακούσει για το ράντσο της Neverland του Michael Jackson και αν δεν έχετε ... τότε μάλλον δεν ζείτε σε αυτόν τον πλανήτη.
Το Neverland Ranch βασίστηκε στο φανταστικό νησί Neverland από τον Peter Pan, όπου τα αγόρια δεν μεγαλώνουν ποτέ. Και μάλλον κάτι τέτοιο συνέβαινε και με τον ίδιο...
Ένα πόμολο στο οποίο φαίνονταν δύο αγόρια να φιλιούνται
Τα αυθεντικά χέρια του "Ψαλιδοχέρη"
Ένας πίνακας από τον Macaulay Culkin
Ένας θρόνος
Καλούπια του προσώπου του
Μια στολή Batman
Ένα κάδρο με αυτόν και ένα τσούρμο παιδιά να τον ακολουθούν
Ένα ρομπότ με την μορφή του
Παιδιά κούκλες
Ξωτικά, νεράιδες και μια γιαγιά που λέει το μέλλον!

Την αποθέωση γνώρισε, για ακόμα μια φορά, η Άννα Βίσση στη Θεσσαλονίκη, στην πρεμιέρα των εμφανίσεών της στο Barbarella, όπου επικράτησε το αδιαχώρητο!

Τη στιγμή που ο τριπλός live δίσκος της «Hotel Ερμού live 2015-2018», που κυκλοφορεί από την Panik Gold, βρίσκεται στην κορυφή των πωλήσεων, η «απόλυτη Ελληνίδα star» παρέσυρε το κοινό της βόρειας Ελλάδας όπως μόνο εκείνη ξέρει, τραγουδώντας για περίπου 4:30 ώρες!
Έχοντας στο πλευρό της την «χρυσή» 11μελή της μπάντα, η Άννα παρουσίασε αγαπημένα τραγούδια από μουσική της διαδρομή, είτε ατόφια, είτε μέσα από εμπνευσμένες και ιδιαίτερες ενορχηστρώσεις, ξεσηκώνοντας τον κόσμο που γέμισε ασφυκτικά τον χώρο, όπου θα εμφανίζεται κάθε Παρασκευή και Σάββατο.

Το εγκαταλελειμμένο ελληνικό χωριό
Αυτό είναι το εγκαταλελειμμένο ελληνικό χωριό που ο χρόνος σταμάτησε στο ’70. …
Θα μπορούσε να είναι κάποιο χωριό της εμπόλεμης Συρίας που οι κάτοικοι του το εγκατέλειψαν μέσα σε μία νύχτα για να σωθούν.
Και όμως κάποτε υπήρξε ένα πυκνοκατοικημένο πανέμορφο χωριό
που οι κάτοικοι του ζούσαν τις χαρές και τις λύπες της ζωής. Σήμερα το μέρος είναι ξεχασμένο απ’ όλους.
Ο επισκέπτης θα συναντήσει ανοιχτές πόρτες και παράθυρα, σπίτια »κουφάρια» με αντικείμενα σκόρπια στα πατώματα. Τα πιάτα και ποτήρια βρίσκονται στις θέσεις τους έτοιμα να ξαναχρησιμοποιηθούν….
Η μυρωδιά της εγκατάλειψης και η μελαγχολία έχει κυριεύσει το χωριό που πριν μερικές δεκαετίες ήταν γεμάτο ζωή. Βρίσκεται 80 χιλιόμετρα ανατολικά του Ηρακλείου δίπλα από την Άνω Βιάννο στο χωριό Καλάμι.Είναι ένα χωριό χτισμένο σε μαγευτικό τοπίο, δίπλα σε βουνά, ποτάμια και πυκνή βλάστηση, που σε κάνει να αναρωτιέσαι γιατί το άφησαν να ερημώσει….
Πάνω από 150 ήταν οι οικογένειες και εξακόσιοι περίπου οι κάτοικοι του Καλαμίου πριν αρχίσει η ερημοποίηση του στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ΄70 .
Oι κάτοικοι σταδιακά κατέβηκαν προς τα νότια παράλια, ψάχνοντας μια καλύτερη τύχη στην Ψαρή φοράδα και την Άρβη και στις θερμοσκοπικές καλλιέργειες. Kάποιοι έφυγαν προς τα αστικά κέντρα.
Σήμερα το χωριό παραμένει ίσως ως το χαρακτηριστικότερο μνημείο εγκατάλειψης της υπαίθρου και αριθμεί οκτώ μόνιμους, ηλικιωμένους κατοίκους….
