Μετά την συνάντηση η οποία διεξήχθη σε πολύ εγκάρδιο κλίμα, ο κ.

Πρέπει εδώ να τονίσω ότι με τον Αρχιεπίσκοπο ανακαλύψαμε και κοινά παρελθόντα, διότι όντας Σαλονικιός θυμηθήκαμε παλιές γειτονιές και αυτό έκανε ακόμη πιο ζεστή τη συνάντησή μας, είπαμε πάρα πολλά πράγματα για τη Σαλονίκη και εγώ φεύγω με την ευλογία του Αρχιεπισκόπου, αυτό που κάνουμε να το συνεχίσουμε».

Στη δική του δήλωση ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Δημήτριος σημείωσε: «Ήταν μια πολύ ωραία ευκαιρία τιμής και χαράς να έχουμε τον Δήμαρχο της Θεσσαλονίκης, μιας μεγάλης και σπουδαίας κοσμοπολιτικής πόλεως, και το λέω όχι διότι είναι η καταγωγή μας από εκεί αλλά διότι αντικειμενικά είναι έτσι, αλλά και διότι πρόκειται για ένα δήμαρχο ό οποίος κάνει μια πολύ μεγάλη εργασία προβολής ουσιαστικών στοιχείων που έχει η Θεσσαλονίκη, η Ορθοδοξία και ο Ελληνισμός. Βρίσκεται εδώ για να τιμηθεί με το σπουδαίο βραβείο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Δαμασκηνός το οποίο δίδεται από την εβραϊκή κοινότητα εις ανάμνηση του ολοκαυτώματος την εποχή του Β΄ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου και επ’ ονόματι του Αρχιεπισκόπου Αθηνών Δαμασκηνού που είχε προσφέρει πολλά στο θέμα της σωτηρίας και βοηθείας των Εβραίων».

The ninth instalment of the X Men film series took £2.54m on its second week of release.

Alice Through The Looking Glass, starring Johnny Depp and directed by James Bobin, took £2.23m debuted at number two.

Its predecessor, Alice in Wonderland, took £10.5m in its first week in 2010.

The UK chart mirrors the North American box office, which also saw Alice beaten into second place by X Men on Memorial Day weekend.

Angry Birds, the film based on the popular game, was the third most popular film in the UK, with takings of £919,000.

Jodie Foster's fourth film as a director, Money Monster, entered the UK box office chart at number four after taking £821,000 in its first weekend.

Another new entry, Love and Friendship, starring Kate Beckinsale, enters at number eight, having taken £263,000 on its opening weekend.

τα κρυφά δωμάτια των αεροσυνοδών στα αεροπλάνα -Κρεβάτια και χαλάρωση 

Πολλά έχουν γραφτεί για το πού ξεκουράζονται οι

 αεροσυνοδοί στα αεροπλάνα, τι τρώνε κτλ. Ολα βασίζονται

 σε περιγραφές. Τώρα η boeing μας επιτρέπει να ρίξουμε μια

 ματιά στους χώρους αυτούς. 

Τα Boeing 777 και 787 τα οποία χρησιμοποιούνται μόνο για ταξίδια μεγάλων

 αποστάσεων διαθέτουν μια μυστική σκάλα που οδηγεί σε μικρά... υπνοδωμάτια.

 Ο χώρος είναι γνωστός ως Crew Rest Departments (CRCs). 

Οι φωτογραφίες από τους χώρους αυτούς είναι πραγματικά σπάνιες και λίγοι 

άνθρωποι έχουν την ευκαιρία να τους δουν. 

Οι καμπίνες αυτές βρίσκονται στο πίσω μέρος του Boeing 787 Dreamliner, και 

υπάρχουν και δύο ανάλογοι χώροι στο μπροστινό μέρος. 

Η πρόσβαση στις καμπίνες επιτρέπεται αυστηρά και μόνο στα μέλη του

 πληρώματος καθώς οι σκάλες που οδηγούν σε αυτές κρύβονται πίσω από

 πόρτες που απαιτούν κωδικό ή κλειδί.

Τα Boeing 777 διαθέτουν έξι με 10 κρεβάτια και φυσικά λίγο χώρο για τις

 αποσκευές των μελών του πληρώματος. Κάθε κρεβάτι έχει μια κουρτίνα

 προκειμένου να δίνεται μια αίσθηση ιδιωτικότητας. 

Στα 777 υπάρχουν και ξεχωριστοί χώροι για τους πιλότους, με δυο κρεβάτια,

 δύο πολυθρόνες σαν και αυτές στη business-class και σε ορισμένα ένα μικρό μπάνιο.
