Από το 2021 οι πολίτες των ΗΠΑ θα χρειάζονται βίζα για να επισκεφθούν την Ευρώπη

Οι πολίτες των ΗΠΑ που ταξιδεύουν στην Ευρώπη χωρίς βίζα θα είναι παρελθόν το 2021.

Η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση ανακοίνωσε την Παρασκευή ότι οι Αμερικανοί ταξιδιώτες θα χρειάζονται ένα νέο είδος θεώρησης – ένα Ευρωπαϊκό Σύστημα Πληροφοριών και Εξουσιοδότησης Ταξιδιών ή ETIAS – για να επισκεφθούν τον Ευρωπαϊκό Χώρο Σένγκεν – Schengen Area .

Ο χώρος Schengen είναι μια ζώνη 26 ευρωπαϊκών χωρών που δεν έχουν εσωτερικά σύνορα και επιτρέπουν στους πολίτες τους να μετακινούνται ελεύθερα μεταξύ τους, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των χωρών όπως η Ισπανία, η Γαλλία, η Ελλάδα, η Γερμανία, η Ιταλία και η Πολωνία.

Επί του παρόντος, οι Αμερικανοί πολίτες μπορούν να ταξιδεύουν στην Ευρώπη για διάστημα έως 90 ημερών χωρίς βίζα.

Για να υποβάλουν αίτηση για το ETIAS, οι πολίτες των ΗΠΑ θα χρειάζονται έγκυρο διαβατήριο, λογαριασμό ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου και πιστωτική ή χρεωστική κάρτα, ανέφερε η ΕΕ. Οι ανήλικοι, ανέφερε η ιστοσελίδα, θα εξακολουθήσουν να χρειάζονται μόνο τα κανονικά διαβατήρια για να ταξιδέψουν μετά την έναρξη ισχύος των θεωρήσεων.

Η Ένωση δήλωσε ότι η θεώρηση ETIAS ισχύει για τρία χρόνια και επιτρέπει στους Αμερικανούς να εισέλθουν στον χώρο Σένγκεν όσες φορές χρειάζεται.

Στην ιστοσελίδα του ETIAS, η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση δήλωσε ότι “αποφάσισε πρόσφατα να βελτιώσει το επίπεδο ασφάλειας για να αποφύγει τυχόν περαιτέρω προβλήματα με την παράνομη μετανάστευση και την τρομοκρατία”.
Οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες βρίσκονται σε διαμάχη με το Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο και την Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή για τις θεωρήσεις για τη Βουλγαρία, την Κροατία, την Πολωνία, τη Ρουμανία και την Κύπρο. Οι ταξιδιώτες στις πέντε αυτές χώρες είναι οι μόνες χώρες της ΕΕ τις οποίες οι ΗΠΑ απαιτούν να υποβάλουν αίτηση θεώρησης.

Το 2016, η Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή δημοσίευσε για πρώτη φορά μια έκθεση που ζητά από τις ΗΠΑ να χορηγήσουν το ίδιο καθεστώς απαλλαγής από την υποχρέωση θεώρησης σε αυτές τις πέντε χώρες, όπως οι άλλες 23 χώρες της ΕΕ, σε αντάλλαγμα ότι οι κάτοικοι των ΗΠΑ διατηρούν το ίδιο καθεστώς απαλλαγής από την υποχρέωση θεώρησης στον χώρο Σένγκεν. Οι κανόνες της ΕΕ απαιτούν ίση μεταχείριση για όλα τα κράτη μέλη.
Ωστόσο, η έκθεση ανέφερε επίσης ότι η Επιτροπή ήθελε να περιμένει μέχρι να ασκήσει το αξίωμα ο Πρόεδρος Trump για να «πιέσει για πλήρη αμοιβαιότητα όσον αφορά τις θεωρήσεις».

Τον Ιούνιο του 2018, το Κοινοβούλιο ψήφισε υπέρ της Επιτροπής να επιβάλει θεωρήσεις στους πολίτες των ΗΠΑ.

Marvin Gaye's Estate Wins "Blurred Lines" Case

2015

A jury awards Marvin Gaye's estate (his children Marvin III, Frankie and Nona) $7.3 million, finding that the Robin Thicke song "Blurred Lines" is too similar to Gaye's 1977 hit "Got To Give It Up."

Thicke and his co-writer, Pharrell Williams, argued that while both songs rock a party vibe (with clinking bottles and ambient crowd), there is nothing all that similar about them. Anyone with ears knows this, but the case is based on the sheet music versions of the songs, not the actual recordings. After an army of experts testifies about their similarities in that regard, the jury finds for Gaye's estate and awards the staggering judgment.

Songwriters are shocked and horrified by the verdict, knowing that just about any song will use musical elements that have already been explored. Stevie Wonder tells TMZ: "The groove is very similar but you have to remember he is a big fan of Marvin Gaye's so that's okay. But the song is not like Marvin Gaye's. It is not the same."

Adding intrigue to the proceedings is Thicke's admission that he had little to do with writing the song, and that he was in a drug-and-alcohol-induced haze at the time. "The biggest hit of my career was written by somebody else, and I was jealous and wanted credit," he says in court.

Πάρτυ Αναμνήσεων @ Eightball: Θα μείνουμε πάντα παιδιά…

Ήταν μια βραδιά, που θα μείνει αξέχαστη σε όσους την έζησαν. Το «Πάρτυ Αναμνήσεων» στις 2 Δεκεμβρίου 2013 στο “Eightball Live Stage” στα Λαδάδικα τηςΘεσσαλονίκης, που οργάνωσε η ομάδα «Συγκροτήματα του ’60-‘70» του Facebook, πέρασε στην ιστορία σαν μια από τις πιο επιτυχημένες εκδηλώσεις της νεολαιας των sixties.

Η συγκίνηση ήταν έκδηλη, όχι μόνο στους θαμώνες, αλλά και στα μέλη των συγκροτημάτων, που εναλλάσσονταν στη σκηνή, καθώς ήταν αυτά, που ξεσήκωναν τη νεολαία της δεκαετίας του ’60 με την κάθε τους εμφάνιση.

Χαρακτηριστικό είναι το σημείωμα, που μου έστειλε -γραφει ο Γιννης Νεγρης-με fax μια μέρα μετά την εκδήλωση ο φίλος και συνάδελφος δημοσιογράφος Γιώργος Βιβιλάκης, όπου μεταξύ άλλων γράφει: «Γιάννη, φίλε και αδελφέ, μας χάρισες μια ανεπανάληπτη “βεγγέρα” συγκίνησης και συναισθηματικής ανάτασης. Γίναμε πάλι (όπως θάμαστε και πάντα) παιδιά, όπως λέει και το τραγούδι των “Τσαρμς”. Ζωντάνεψαν τα εφηβικά μας όνειρα, με την παρουσία των αγαπημένων μας συγκροτημάτων, αλλά και των μεγάλων αφεντικών της εποχής, που καταξίωσαν τη Θεσσαλονίκη πανελλαδικά.

Βουρκώσαμε, αλλά και με το δικό σου μαγικό χρονοδιακόπτη (αναφορές, προβολές φωτογραφιών και βίντεο) μεταφερθήκαμε το χθεσινό καταχείμωνο στην αυγουστιάτικη Αρετσού και το Καραμπουρνάκι της δεκαετίας του ’60. Αναμνήσεις, όνειρα, αμφισβητήσεις, αγώνας, έρωτες, λουλούδια, ακρογιαλιές, θάλασσες γαλήνιες, δειλινά μαγευτικά, όρκοι αγάπης, μάχη για τη βιοπάλη…»

Μετά τον πρόλογό μου-για τις ανάγκες της ραδιοφωνικής διαδικτυακής μετάδοσης από τοhttp://www.studio110.eu, στη σκηνή ανέβηκαν οι “Crazy old Boys”, που ζέσταναν την ατμόσφαιρα με τα ρυθμικά τραγούδια, τα οποία έπαιξαν υπέροχα. Οι Μιχάλης Σελβεσάκης, μπάσο, Λάκης Ακριτίδης, κιθάρα,Ζήσης Αντωνόπουλος, τύμπανα και Τάκης Πατραμάνης, τραγούδι και ακουστική κιθάρα, εξακολουθούν να αποτελούν ένα δυναμικό σχήμα, όπως τα παλιά χρόνια.

Ακολούθησαν οι “Papas Family”, το συγκρότημα, που δημιούργησε ο αιώνια έφηβος Παναγιώτης Παπαχατζής, που ανέβασαν στα ύψη το κέφι, με τις δυνατές ερμηνείες του Γιώργου Καραβασίλη και τουΘανάση Βλαχάτη.

Στη συνέχεια, για να μπει το κοινό στο κλίμα των βραβεύσεων και των τιμητικών διακρίσεων, προβλήθηκε ένα οκτάλεπτο φιλμάκι με τίτλο «Αφιέρωμα στις αναμνήσεις».

Και ήλθε η σειρά να τιμηθούν τα «αφεντικά» των night clubs της δεκαετίας του ’60 στην περιοχή της Αρετσούς και στο Καραμπουρνάκι, που εκείνη την εποχή μετακαλώντας τα δημοφιλέστερα συγκροτήματα έδιναν την ευκαιρία στην τότε νεολαία να χορεύει και να διασκεδάζει βλέποντας και ακούγοντας τα «είδωλά» της.

Η «Χαβάη» του Τάκη Κανίδη ήταν το «μαγαζί», που ανέδειξε τους “Olympians”. Η αρχική σύνθεση του συγκροτήματος ήταν παρούσα. Και ήταν συγκινητική η στιγμή, όταν ο Άλκης Κακαλιάγκος, ο Κούλης Καλογιαννίδης, ο Δημήτρης Λαζαρίδης (Τζακ), ο Βαγγέλης Κουτσοτόλης (Σπόρος) και ο Πασχάλης, που ήλθε ειδικά από την Αθήνα για τη μεγάλη βραδιά, ανέβηκαν στη σκηνή και έδωσαν την πλακέτα στο γιο τουΚανίδη, Άλκη, γιατί ο ίδιος δεν μπόρεσε να παραστει λόγω ασθενείας.

Οι “Strangers” δέθηκαν με το “Pussycat” και αναδείχτηκαν παίζοντας για πολλές περιόδους στο club αυτό της Αρετσούς. Οι Νίκος Κουρτσίδης και Αντώνης Βαρσαμούδης μαζί με τον Μίμη Αντωνόπουλο των“Fratelli”, που ξεσήκωναν με τον απίθανο ήχο τους τους θαμώνες, τίμησαν τον ιδιοκτήτη του κέντρου Σταύρο Μανιάτη.

Δεκάδες συγκροτήματα από τη Θεσσαλονίκη και την Αθήνα, τα δημοφιλέστερα τότε της εποχής, πέρασαν από το “Arigato”, των αδελφών Κουτσελίνη, που λειτουργούσε όλο το χρόνο, καθώς διέθετε και θερινή πίστα, όπως άλλωστε και η «Χαβάη».

Τους Χρήστο, Θανάση και Κώστα Κουτσελίνη τίμησαν οι Χρήστος Σώκος και Σωτήρης Ναούμ (“Up Tight”),Πάνος Λεμονίδης, Ντίνος Μιχαηλίδης, Γιώργος Γώγος και Άδωνις Παπασωτηρίου («Βόρειοι»), Γιάννης Πανταζής, Μόσχος Μπίτζιος, Γρηγόρης Αποστολόπουλος, Θόδωρος Δοβλέτογλου και Πέτρος Σούλας(“Snowballs”), Σταύρος Κοσμίδης (“Hippis”), Βασίλης Παπαβασιλείου, Χρήστος Κίλιας και Ηλίας Στεφανίδης(μάνατζερ) (“Monks”).

Τη σκυτάλη πήραν οι «Βόρειοι» με το Βασίλη Παπαβασιλείου στο τραγούδι και ξαναθύμισαν στους έφηβους της δεκαετίας του ’60 τις μεγάλες επιτυχίες τους κλείνοντας με τη μεγαλύτερη απ’ όλες, το «Τζίνι». Απ’ ότι φάνηκε οι Πάνος Λεμονίδης, τύμπανα, Ντίνος Μιχαηλίδης, μπάσο, Γιώργος Γώγος, κιθάρα και τραγούδι καιΆδωνις Παπασωτηρίου, πλήκτρα, βρήκαν τον τραγουδιστή, που τους έλειπε, μετά το θάνατο του Σώτου Κιρκασιάδη και όλα δείχνουν, ότι μια νέα συνεργασία ξεκινά.

Η συνέχεια, αλλά και η έκπληξη της βραδιάς, λέγεται Πασχάλης. Εκτός προγράμματος και χωρίς καν να αναγγελθεί παίρνει μια κιθάρα, ανεβαίνει στη σκηνή και ξεσηκώνει τον κόσμο. Το κοινό ξαναζεί τους«ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΝΣ», καθώς δύο άλλα μέλη του συγκροτήματος-θρύλου τον συνοδεύουν.

Ο Άλκης Κακαλιάγκος στα πλήκτρα, ο Σπόρος στο σαξόφωνο μαζί με τον Αντώνη Βαρσαμούδη τωνStrangers στην κιθάρα, τον Γιώργο Γκότση των αξέχαστων Greeks με ένα ακόμη σαξόφωνο, τον Χρήστο Κίλια στα τύμπανα και τον Γιώργο Μιχαηλίδη στο μπάσο παίζουν τις μεγάλες επιτυχίες Τρόπος, Συγγνώμη, Σχολείο, Αλέξης, Πως περάσανε τα χρόνια, που τραγουδιούνται από όλους.

Η όμορφη βραδιά κλείνει με τον Αντώνη Βαρσαμούδη και το Χρήστο Σώκο των θρυλικών “Up Tight” να θυμίζουν στον κόσμο των «ήντα», ότι κι αν περάσανε τα χρόνια, θα μείνουμε πάντα παιδιά.

Αξεπέραστη πολυτέλεια και υπηρεσίες 5 αστέρων στη μέση της ερήμου

Είναι γεγονός ότι ο όρος glamping τον τελευταίο καιρό ακούγεται όλο και περισσότερο. Πρόκειται για την νέα τάση στις διακοπές που συνδυάζει το κάμπινγκ με την πολυτέλεια, κερδίζοντας ολοένα και περισσότερο κοινό.

Από τους πιο άξιους εκπροσώπους του συγκεκριμένου όρου που φέρνει τους ταξιδιώτες ένα βήμα πιο κοντά στη φύση, χωρίς ταυτόχρονα να τους απομακρύνει από τις ανέσεις και τις υπηρεσίες ενός ποιοτικού δωματίου ξενοδοχείου -αντιθέτως θα έλεγε κανείς ότι τους μυεί στην πραγματική πολυτέλεια πολλών αστέρων- το Merzouga Luxury Desert Camp, στην ήσυχη και ειδυλλιακή, για διακοπές μακριά από τα πλήθη, αμμώδη «θάλασσα» Erg Chebbi, στο Μαρόκο.

Αν θέλετε, λοιπόν, να δοκιμάσετε τον… νομαδικό τρόπο ζωής, αλλά με όρους πολυτελείας και μάλιστα σε ένα σκηνικό απίστευτου και μοναδικού φυσικού κάλλους δεν έχετε παρά να βάλετε στο πρόγραμμα ένα ταξίδι μέχρι την έρημο της Σαχάρας.

Το Merzouga Luxury Desert Camp, 1,5 ώρα από το Erfoud, αποτελείται από 15 παραδοσιακές και ευρύχωρες σκηνές (φτιαγμένες από δέρμα καμήλας), ενώ για όσους το επιθυμούν μπορεί να στηθεί και ένα πιο prive σκηνικό αποτελούμενο από πέντε σκηνές.

Όλες οι σκηνές έχουν σχεδιαστεί προσεκτικά έτσι ώστε να προσφέρουν την υψηλότερη δυνατή άνεση και πολυτέλεια στους επισκέπτες τους, ενώ χαρακτηρίζονται για την προσεγμένη διακόσμηση σε γήινες αποχρώσεις, τα χειροποίητα έπιπλα και τα απαλά υφάσματα, που εντείνουν ακόμη περισσότερο την αίσθηση της πολυτέλειας. Όλες διαθέτουν διπλά ή δύο μονά κρεβάτια, χώρο καθιστικού και ιδιωτικό μπάνιο.

Κατά την διάρκεια της νύχτας το σκηνικό μοιάζει πραγματικά ονειρικό, καθώς το camp φωτίζεται, ανάβουν φωτιές και ξεκινάει η μουσική για μια αξεπέραστη εμπειρία διασκέδασης.

Στα όσα δεν πρέπει να χάσετε το μαροκινό δείπνο κάτω από τον έναστρο ουρανό καθώς και το πλούσιο και απολαυστικό παραδοσιακό πρωινό στην κορυφή των αμμόλοφων, η ημερήσια εκδρομή στην έρημο καθώς και το πικνικ μέσα σε μια όαση στην καρδιά της ερήμου.

Από τις εμπειρίες που αξίζει πραγματικά να ζήσετε εδώ, μια βόλτα με καμήλα στους ψηλούς και εντυπωσιακούς αμμόλοφους ολόγυρα του camp κατά την διάρκεια του ηλιοβασιλέματος ή της ανατολής του ήλιου.

Tony Hadley, Kim Wilde, Bananarama and Go West all performed at 43,000ft (13,000m) beating the previous record of 42,080ft (12,825m) set by James Blunt in 2010. The event was held to raise money for Comic Relief.

2015 - Robin Thicke

A jury in the United States ruled that the writers of 'Blurred Lines', copied a Marvin Gaye track. Jurors in Los Angeles decided that the 2013 single by Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke breached the copyright of Gaye's 1977 hit 'Got To Give It Up'. The family of the late soul singer were awarded $7.3m (£4.8m) in damages. Thicke and Williams denied copying the hit, and their lawyer said the ruling set a "horrible precedent".

2015 - Jimmy Greenspoon

English musician Keith Emerson died in Santa Monica, California, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after he had become "depressed, nervous and anxious" because nerve damage in his hands had hampered his playing. Emerson found his first commercial success with the Nice, in the late 1960s and was a founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), one of the early progressive rock supergroups.
