Αμερικανική απόβαση στην Αλεξανδρούπολη - Το τριπλό μήνυμα στήριξης στην Ελλάδα

Πάνω από 3.000 Αμερικανοί στρατιώτες και πάνω από 800 κομμάτια εξοπλισμού πρόκειται να μεταφέρουν μέσω θαλασσής στο λιμάνι της Αλεξανδρούπολης ο Στρατός των ΗΠΑ, που το διήμερο 23-24 Ιουλίου αναμένεται να τα ξεφορτώσουν.

Από εκεί θα ξεκινήσουν οδικώς και μέσω σιδηροδρομικού δίκτυο την μεταφορά των δυνάμεων προς την Ρουμανία για την ΝΑΤΟική άσκηση της ATLANTIC RESOLVE 2020.

Πρόκειται για τριπλό μήνυμα που στέλνει η Αμερική προς πάσα κατεύθυνση για έμπρακτη στήριξη της Ελλάδας. Αφενός στηρίζει την στρατηγική σημασία και τον ρόλο που θα διαδραματίσει στα άμεσα σχέδια της το λιμάνι της Αλεξανδρούπολης. Κατά δεύτερον στέλνει μήνυμα κυρίως προς την Τουρκία ότι μπορεί να παρακάμψει τον Βόσπορο και να αναπτυχθούν οι δυνάμεις της όπου το επιθυμεί. Και τρίτον ότι η Ελλάδα πέρασε με επιτυχία τις περυσινές εξετάσεις συνεργασίας με την απόβαση πάνω από 2.500 Αμερικανών στρατιωτών στην Αλεξανδρούπολη, στο πέρασμα τους με προορισμό την Ρουμανία, για την άσκηση Black Sea 2019.

Οι Αμερικανοί στρατιώτες έφτασαν πέρυσι με πτήσεις τσάρτερ και πλοία κι έδωσαν το παρόν σε αρκετά σημεία της πόλης, αφήνοντας πολύτιμο συνάλλαγμα στην περιοχή και τονώνοντας τον τζίρο της τοπικής οικονομίας. 423 οχήματα, 204 ρυμουλκούμενα και 143 κοντέινερ γεμάτα εξοπλισμό ξεφορτώθηκαν από το μεγαλύτερο πλοίο που είχε δέσει ποτέ στο λιμάνι της περιοχής, πέρυσι την 1η Ιουνίου. Δυο ημέρες χρειάστηκαν για να ξεφορτωθούν πλήρως τα οχήματα και τα κοντέινερ από το πλοίο, το οποίο όταν έπιασε λιμάνι υποδέχθηκε και ο Αμερικανός πρόξενος στην Θεσσαλονίκη .

Στο πλαίσιο της συνεργασίας των ελληνικών ενόπλων δυνάμεων με τους Αμερικανούς η 12η μεραρχία είχε αναλάβει την αποστολή να υποδεχθεί και να προωθήσει τις αμερικανικές δυνάμεις για την άσκηση Black Sea 2019. Έτσι και φέτος, τα στελέχη της 12ης, έχοντας αποκομίσει εμπειρία από πέρυσι θα σηκώσουν όλο το βάρος της συνεργασίας με τους Αμερικανούς και τον σχεδιασμό της απρόσκοπτης διέλευσης των στρατιωτικών οχημάτων προς τον τελικό προορισμό μέσω της Εγνατίας αλλά και του σιδηροδρομικού δικτύου.

Καβουρότρυπες: η Χαβάη της

Ελλάδας στην Χαλκιδική

Η Χαλκιδικήείναι γνωστό πως διαθέτει τις περισσότερες κορυφαίες παραλίες στην Ελλάδα, αλλά και τις περισσότερες με Γαλάζια Σημαίακαθώς κέρδισε φέτος μια μεγάλη διάκριση και αναδείχτηκε πρώτη στην Ελλάδα με 94 σημαίες. Ανάμεσα σε αυτές ξεχωρίζουν και οι μαγευτικές Καβουρότρυπες, οι οποίες χαρακτηρίζονται από πολλούς ως η Χαβάη της Χαλκιδικής και όχι άδικα θα λέγαμε.
Καβουρότρυπες, Χαλκιδική

Οι Καβουρότρυπεςείναι μικροί κολπίσκοι, κρυμμένοι πίσω από ένα υπέροχο πευκοδάσος, με κάτασπρες μικρές αμμουδιές, με κρυστάλλινα τιρκουάζ νερά, με λευκά βράχια και πυκνά πεύκα που φτάνουν μέχρι το κύμα. Αυτό το τοπίο εξωτικής ομορφιάς και η θέα προς τον επιβλητικό Άθω δημιουργούν έναν μικρό επίγειο παράδεισο. Αν λοιπόν οι παραλίες της Χαλκιδικής συναγωνίζονταν μεταξύ τους, οι Καβουρότρυπες μάλλον θα κέρδιζαν το πρώτο βραβείο.

Παλαιότερα, οι Καβουρότρυπες ήταν ελάχιστα γνωστές, μόνο στους ντόπιους ή σε αυτούς που εξερευνούσαν το καλοκαίρι κάθε σπιθαμή της Χαλκιδικής. Ήταν μάλιστα σαν ένα κοινό μυστικό, ένα μαγευτικό καταφύγιο που το ήξεραν μόνο λίγοι. Γι’ αυτό εξάλλου, στον κεντρικό δρόμο δεν τοποθετήθηκε ποτέ πινακίδα που να σηματοδοτεί τη διαδρομή για αυτές τις παραλίες.

Σήμερα βέβαια τις Καβουρότρυπες γνωρίζει πολύς κόσμος που επισκέπτεται την περιοχή, ιδιαίτερα κατά την υψηλή θερινή περίοδο. Ωστόσο, το μέρος είναι ακόμη πανέμορφο, η έλλειψη τουριστικής οργάνωσης και υποδομών συγκαταλέγεται στα θετικά, ανθρώπινες επεμβάσεις δεν υπάρχουν παρά μόνο κάποιες καλλιτεχνικής φύσεως στα βράχια, τα νερά θυμίζουν πισίνα και μία επίσκεψη επιβάλλεται. Και σε περιόδους που δεν έχει κόσμο, μπορείτε να έχετε έναν ολόκληρο κολπίσκο δικό σας!

το σκάφος της Ελένης και του Μάκη με το οποίο οργώνουν τις θάλασσες!

Για την Ελένη Μενεγάκη τώρα ξεκινάει η περίοδος της ξεκούρασής της και φυσικά και για τα αγαπημένα της πρόσωπα στην οικογένειά της, τον Μάκη Παντζόπουλο και τα παιδιά τους.

Η παρουσιάστρια η οποία έκλεισε οριστικά πριν από μερικές εβδομάδες το κεφάλαιο "τηλεόραση", πλέον ηρεμεί στον αγαπημένο της προορισμό, τα Άχλα της Άνδρου και απολαμβάνει όμορφες στιγμές με την οικογένειά της. Εκεί νιώθει ευτυχισμένη και πλήρης. Εκεί απομονώνεται και αποφορτίζεται από τα προβλήματα και τις σκοτούρες της καθημερινότητας.

Όπως κάθε καλοκαίρι, έτσι και φέτος, η Ελένη σκοπεύει για ακόμα μία φορά να "οργώσει"τις ελληνικές θάλασσες, είτε πρόκειται για το Αιγαίο είτε για το Ιόνιο πέλαγος.

Της αρέσει να φεύγει με το σκάφος και να ανακαλύπτει όμορφες και απομονωμένες παραλίες, με καταπράσινα νερά και όμορφες ακρογιαλιές όπου θα βρίσκεται μόνη με την οικογένειά της.

Αυτός είναι άλλωστε και ο κυριότερος λόγος που πριν από μερικά χρόνια έκανε την αγορά του φουσκωτού σκάφους της εταιρίας Ribco, πρώην Scorpion.

Μαζί με όλα τα μέλη της οικογένειάς της, τής αρέσει να φεύγει από τα Άχλα και να καταλήγει σε δαντελένιες ακρογιαλιές διπλανών νησιών ή βραχονησίδων και να κάνει τις βουτιές της αλλά ηλιοθεραπεία.

Έτσι καταφέρνει να εξερευνήσει κρυμμένες ομορφιές του Αιγαίου -πολλές φορές και του Ιονίου- και να αλλάξει παραστάσεις. Πάντα, όμως επιστρέφει στον επίγειο παράδεισό της, τα Άχλα που είναι για εκείνη το προσωπικό της καταφύγιο.

ΛΟΥΤΡΑ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΩΝ ΜΙΑ ΕΠΕΝΔΥΣΗ ΠΟΥ ΔΕΝ ΘΑ ΓΙΝΕΙ

Η επένδυση στα Λουτρά Ελευθερών, μια σωτήρια επένδυση για τα λουτρά και ανάσας για την περιοχή που διαφημίστηκε από την διοίκηση της περιφέρειας Ανατολικής Μακεδονίας-Θράκης, τον Δ. Παγγαίου, τον επιχειρηματία τέως δημαρχο Δράμας Κυριάκο Χαρακίδη- όσο και από τους “νέους” φίλους του εύκολου ΘΑ και των υποσχέσεων φαίνεται να οδεύει σε οριστικό φιάσκο αφού ο υφυπουργός Εσωτερικών Θεόδωρος Καράογλου με 2 αποφάσεις του στις 15 Νοεμβρίου 2019 από το υπουργείο Εσωτερικών (τομέας Μακεδονίας-Θράκης) -τις οποίες υπογράφει ο ίδιος ο Θεόδωρος Καράογλου απορρίπτει τα αιτήματα που είχε καταθέσει ο επενδυτής για την ένταξη του project του στις διατάξεις του νόμου 4339/2016.

Τα αιτήματα αυτά είχαν κατατεθεί από την επιχείρηση “ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΑΙ RESORTS ΙΚΕ”για διαφορετικούς σκοπούς, οι οποίοι όμως (συνδυαστικά) εξυπηρετούσαν τις ανάγκες του ίδιου project. Συγκεκριμένα:

α) η πρώτη αίτηση αφορούσε την “ΙΔΡΥΣΗ ΣΥΝΘΕΤΟΥ ΤΟΥΡΙΣΤΙΚΟΥ ΚΑΤΑΛΥΜΑΤΟΣ ΠΟΥ ΘΑ ΠΕΡΙΛΑΜΒΑΝΕΙ ΞΕΝΟΔΟΧΕΙΑΚΗ ΜΟΝΑΔΑ 5 ΑΣΤΕΡΩΝ, ΔΥΝΑΜΙΚΟΤΗΤΑΣ 106 ΔΩΜΑΤΙΩΝ ΚΑΙ 226 ΚΛΙΝΩΝ, ΚΑΘΩΣ ΚΑΙ ΜΟΝΑΔΑΣ ΙΑΜΑΤΙΚΗΣ ΘΕΡΑΠΕΙΑΣ” και είχε συνολικό επιλέξιµο κόστος 21.583.000 €

β) η δεύτερη αίτηση αφορούσε την “ΙΔΡΥΣΗ ΜΟΝΑΔΑΣ ΙΑΜΑΤΙΚΗΣ ΘΕΡΑΠΕΙΑΣ” και είχε συνολικό επιλέξιµο κόστος 18.185.000 €

Συνολικά, δηλαδή, με τα 2 αιτήματα ο επενδυτής ζητούσε χρηματοδότηση ύψους 39.768.000 € (δηλ. κάτι λιγότερο από 40 εκατομμύρια ευρώ).

Και στις 2 αποφάσεις που ελήφθησαν, όμως, στις 15 Νοεμβρίου από το υπουργείο Εσωτερικών (τομέας Μακεδονίας-Θράκης) -τις οποίες υπογράφει ο υφυπουργός Εσωτερικών Θεόδωρος Καράογλου- αναφέρεται ρητά ότι “τα ανωτέρω δύο έργα αποτελούν ουσιαστικά ένα ενιαίο επενδυτικό σχέδιο, το οποίο στοχεύει συνδυαστικά στην παροχή ενός ολοκληρωµένου πλαισίου οργανωµένων τουριστικών υπηρεσιών στην περιοχή των Λουτρών Ελευθερών” και η προκήρυξη προβλέπει προβλέπεται ότι “το συνολικό ποσό ενίσχυσης ανά υποβαλλόμενο επενδυτικό σχέδιο δεν μπορεί να υπερβεί το ποσό των 5.000.000 ευρώ”.

Η Κεντρική Ένωση Δήμων Ελλάδας και η ΔΕΘ-Helexpo

ενώνουν τις δυνάμεις τους, με αιχμή την BEYOND 4.0

Τον Οκτώβριο, στη Θεσσαλονίκη

το ετήσιο Συνέδριο της ΚΕΔΕ,

στο πλαίσιο της Έκθεσης Τεχνολογίας

Συνοδοιπόροι στη διοργάνωση της έκθεσης τεχνολογίας BEYOND 4.0 θα είναι η Κεντρική Ένωση Δήμων Ελλάδας (ΚΕΔΕ) και η ΔΕΘ-Helexpo, μετά την απόφαση της ΚΕΔΕ να ενώσει τις δυνάμεις της με τον εθνικό εκθεσιακό φορέα στο μέτωπο αυτό. Μάλιστα, η Εκτελεστική επιτροπή της Κεντρικής Ένωσης Δήμων Ελλάδας αποφάσισε κατά τη χθεσινή της συνεδρίαση την διεξαγωγή του ετήσιου Συνεδρίου της ΚΕΔΕ στη Θεσσαλονίκη, στο πλαίσιο της BEYOND 4.0, που θα πραγματοποιηθεί από την 1^ηέως τις 3 Οκτωβρίου του 2020.

Όπως δήλωσε ο Πρόεδρος της ΚΕΔΕ, Δημήτρης Παπαστεργίου, Κεντρική Ένωση και ΔΕΘ-Helexpo θα διοργανώσουν από κοινού το Διεθνές Γεγονός Τεχνολογίας και Καινοτομίας BEYOND 4.0 και στο πλαίσιο αυτό τις ίδιες μέρες θα διεξαχθεί στη Θεσσαλονίκη και το ετήσιο Συνέδριο της ΚΕΔΕ. Υπενθυμίζεται ότι το Συνέδριο, που ήταν προγραμματισμένο για την περασμένη άνοιξη, ακυρώθηκε λόγω των μέτρων περιορισμού του covid-19.

«Υποδεχόμαστε με μεγάλη χαρά την ΚΕΔΕ και το Συνέδριό της στην BEYOND 4.0» ανέφερε από την πλευρά του ο Πρόεδρος της ΔΕΘ-Helexpo, Τάσος Τζήκας.

Στην παρούσα συγκυρία η ΚΕΔΕ αποφάσισε να διοργανώσει το ετήσιο Συνέδριό της στο Διεθνές Εκθεσιακό Κέντρο Θεσσαλονίκης,

ώστε να εξασφαλιστεί η παρουσία των Δημάρχων όλης της

Ελλάδας και εκπροσώπων των δήμων με όλα τα απαραίτητα μέτρα προστασίας και κοινωνικής απόστασης. Μάλιστα, το φετινό Συνέδριο θα είναι απολύτως οικολογικό, χωρίς εκτυπωμένα χαρτιά, και με τη βοήθεια των νέων τεχνολογιών θα γίνει διαδραστικό μέσω ειδικής πλατφόρμας που θα επιτρέπει την υποβολή ερωτήσεων και την κατηγοριοποίηση των θεμάτων που απασχολούν την Τοπική Αυτοδιοίκηση.

Με επίκεντρο την αντιμετώπιση όλων των προκλήσεων που έχει μπροστά της η Τοπική Αυτοδιοίκηση, η ΚΕΔΕ θα διοργανώσει ένα συνέδριο που θα θέσει σε τροχιά εκκίνησης όλες τις διαδικασίες για το «αύριο» της ανάπτυξης των τοπικών κοινωνιών και με τη βοήθεια των νέων τεχνολογιών.

Η πρώτη Διεθνής Εκθεσιακή Πλατφόρμα Ψηφιακής Τεχνολογίας και Καινοτομίας BEYOND 4.0, λόγω των ειδικών υγειονομικών συνθηκών μετουσιώνεται φέτος σε ένα υβριδικό πολυδιάστατο event που θα αποτελέσει το προπομπό της BEYOND 4.0 / 2021, η οποία φιλοδοξεί να καταστήσει τη Θεσσαλονίκη Τεχνολογικό HUB της τέταρτης βιομηχανικής επανάστασης.

Με βάση το νέο πρωτοποριακό σχεδιασμό, από την 1η έως τις 3 Οκτωβρίου 2020, η καρδιά της BEYOND 4.0 θα χτυπάει παράλληλα σε Θεσσαλονίκη και Αθήνα, στο Διεθνές Εκθεσιακό & Συνεδριακό Κέντρο Θεσσαλονίκης και στο HELEXPO Maroussi αντίστοιχα, με ένα διαδραστικό Διεθνές Forum με πλούσιο πρόγραμμα συνεδρίων και keynote speakers, Β2Β και B2G συναντήσεις, τόσο ζωντανά στους ειδικά διαμορφωμένους χώρους όσο και ψηφιακά μέσα από την ειδικά σχεδιασμένη ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα.

Εντολή Ζέρβα για εντατικοποίηση των ελέγχων με στόχο τον περιορισμό της διασποράς του κορωνοϊού

Σαφή εντολή για εντατικοποίηση των ελέγχων στα καταστήματα υγειονομικού ενδιαφέροντος έδωσε ο Δήμαρχος Θεσσαλονίκης Κωνσταντίνος Ζέρβας σε σύσκεψη που συγκάλεσε εκτάκτως σήμερα για την αντιμετώπιση της πανδημίας.

«Η αυξητική τάση των κρουσμάτων κορωνοϊού επιτάσσει άμεσες ενέργειες», διεμήνυσε ο Δήμαρχος. Για τον λόγο αυτό κλιμάκια της Δημοτικής Αστυνομίας σε συνεργασία με την Ελληνική Αστυνομία και άλλες αρμόδιες αρχές πυκνώνουν τους ελέγχους σε καταστήματα, με στόχο την απόλυτη συμμόρφωση με το κανονιστικό πλαίσιο αποφυγής διασποράς του κορωνοϊού.

Όπως δήλωσε ο Δήμαρχος Θεσσαλονίκης «είναι απολύτως αναγκαίο οι κανόνες να τηρούνται από όλους, ώστε να περιοριστεί ενδεχόμενη νέα διασπορά του ιού έγκαιρα και αποτελεσματικά. Δεν πρέπει να υπάρξει καμία χαλάρωση και εφησυχασμός, η πρόκληση για την πόλη μας είναι παρούσα. Όλοι μαζί μπορούμε να τα καταφέρουμε, όπως έχουμε αποδείξει πρόσφατα».

Στη σύσκεψη ήταν παρόντες ο αντιδήμαρχος Οικονομικών Μιχάλης Κούπκας, ο εντεταλμένος δημοτικός σύμβουλος για δράσεις Δημοτικής Αστυνομίας Δημήτρης Δαγκλής ο Γενικός Γραμματέας του Δήμου Θεσσαλονίκης Ευθύμιος Φωτόπουλος και υπηρεσιακοί παράγοντες.

1966A supergroup is born as former Yardbirds guitarist Eric Clapton teams up with bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker of the Graham Bond Organization to form Cream.

Party Rock Is In the House

2011

"Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO hits #1 after first appearing on the Hot 100 on February 12 at #78. Thanks to a captivating video, the song starts the "shufflin'" dance craze and spends a staggering 68 weeks on the chart (six at #1), which is longer than any other chart-topper.

Party rock is in the house tonight Everybody just have a good time   Lyrics might not seem like a big deal for a club banger intended to get people dancing rather than thinking, but LMFAO couldn't disagree more. Redfoo, half of the electro-pop duo who also happens to be the son of legendary Motown founder Berry Gordy, grew up in the presence of master lyricists like Smokey Robinson, who taught him that every word counts. "The 'Just' was key," said Redfoo of the song's chorus. "I made it a command, to focus people on what to do now that we're here together. Our lyrics are very calculated, even if they appear simple."  Redfoo was inspired to write the tune when he got into shuffling, an '80s-inspired dance style that incorporates retro moves like the running man with fast footwork, and thought it would be perfect for Flo Rida. But as he got to work on the anthem with his old friend GoonRock, it was clear they were writing an LMFAO single.   "Party Rock Anthem" becomes the centerpiece of the duo's Sorry For Party Rocking album and is their first #1 on the Hot 100, surpassing Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" and Pitbull's "Give Me Everything (Tonight)." With a whopping 68-week chart run, the song breaks the record for longest run on the Hot 100, previously held by Jewel's 1998 hit "Foolish Games" at 65 weeks (a feat matched by "Rolling in the Deep").

ΤΑ ΔΥΟ MEGA PROJECTS ΠΟΥ ΑΛΛΑΖΟΥΝ ΤΗ ΜΟΙΡΑ ΤΗΣ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ

Άρθρο στη Voria.gr του υφυπουργού Εσωτερικών Θ. Καράογλου για τα δυο μεγάλα έργα που αλλάζουν τη μοίρα της Θεσσαλονίκης και συνολικά της Β. Ελλάδας.

*Του Θεόδωρου Καράογλου

Υλοποιώντας δυο θεμελιώδεις εξαγγελίες του Πρωθυπουργού, κ. Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη, από το βήμα της 84ης ΔΕΘ τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2019, το Υπουργείο Εσωτερικών (Τομέας Μακεδονίας και Θράκης) εποπτεύει και έχει υπό την ευθύνη του δυο mega projects που αλλάζουν τη μοίρα της Θεσσαλονίκης και συνολικά της Βόρειας Ελλάδας.

Αναφέρομαι στην κατασκευή του Τεχνολογικού Πάρκου 4ης Γενιάς «Thess Intec», σε έκταση 761 στρεμμάτων στον δήμο Θερμαϊκού και στην ανάπλαση του Εκθεσιακού Κέντρου Θεσσαλονίκης, έργα τα οποία έχουν περάσει από τη φάση του σχεδιασμού σε εκείνη της υλοποίησης, προχωρώντας σύμφωνα με τα χρονοδιαγράμματα που έχει θέσει ο Πρωθυπουργός.

Το «Thess Intec» έχει οριοθετημένο στόχο να ξεκινήσει τη λειτουργία του στο τέλος του καλοκαιριού του 2023, με θεματοφύλακα την Αλεξάνδρεια Ζώνη Καινοτομίας. Η υλοποίηση του εμβληματικού εγχειρήματος θα αλλάξει τόσο την οικονομική ιστορία της Μακεδονίας και της Θράκης όσο και το παραγωγικό μοντέλο της χώρας, αφού η πατρίδα μας θα συμπεριληφθεί μεταξύ των κρατών που παράγουν προϊόντα προηγμένης τεχνολογίας.

Σε πλήρη ανάπτυξη στο Τεχνολογικό Πάρκο 4ης Γενιάς θα απασχολούνται 7.000 εργαζόμενοι σε επιχειρήσεις και ερευνητικά κέντρα, ενώ εντός πενταετίας η συνεισφορά του στο ΑΕΠ της χώρας θα ανέρχεται σε περίπου 450 εκατομμύρια ευρώ. Ημερομηνίες σταθμοί στην εξέλιξη του έργου αποτέλεσαν η 13η Μαΐου του 2020, όταν το οικόπεδο των 761 στρεμμάτων μεταβιβάστηκε από το ΤΑΪΠΕΔ στο Υπουργείο Οικονομικών και κατ'επέκταση στο Ελληνικό Δημόσιο και η 29η Μαΐου 2020 όταν ψηφίστηκε ο Νόμος 4690/2020, με τον οποίο το οικόπεδο μεταβιβάστηκε από το Ελληνικό Δημόσιο στην Αλεξάνδρεια Ζώνη Καινοτομίας.
Λίγες ημέρες μετά, στις 6 Ιουνίου, ο «οικοδεσπότης» δήμος Θερμαϊκού αποφάσισε πρώτος -σχεδόν ομόφωνα- να συμμετέχει ως ιδρυτικός μέτοχος στο Τεχνολογικό Πάρκο.

Τα επόμενα βήματα είναι συγκεκριμένα. Μέχρι το τέλος Ιουλίου συστήνεται η Εταιρεία Ανάπτυξης Επιχειρηματικού Πάρκου, η οποία θα αναλάβει την υλοποίηση του project, ενώ μέχρι το τέλος Αυγούστου θα ανατεθούν η πολεοδομική μελέτη και η μελέτη λειτουργίας του πάρκου. Μέχρι την Άνοιξη του 2022 θα πρέπει να ολοκληρωθεί το Ειδικό Χωρικό Σχέδιο, ώστε το 2023 να έχει τελειώσει η υποδομή, οι δρόμοι, τα πάρκινγκ, οι χώροι πρασίνου, να έχει χτιστεί το 10% των κτιριακών εγκαταστάσεων (20.000 τ.μ.) και να έχουν εγκατασταθεί περίπου 100 επιχειρήσεις και 20-30 ερευνητικά κέντρα.

Το δεύτερο mega project που υλοποιούμε αφορά στην ανάπλαση του Εκθεσιακού Κέντρου της Θεσσαλονίκης. Εντός Ιουλίου η ΔΕΘ-Helexpo θα προκηρύξει τον διεθνή αρχιτεκτονικό διαγωνισμό, ο οποίος θα πραγματοποιηθεί υπό την αιγίδα της Διεθνούς Ένωσης Αρχιτεκτόνων (Union Internationale des Architectes).

Σύμφωνα με τις εκτιμήσεις, για την ολοκλήρωσή του θα απαιτηθούν 7-8 μήνες, οπότε αποτελέσματα θα υπάρξουν στις αρχές του 2021. Οι συμμετέχοντες σε αυτόν θα απαρτίζουν διεπιστημονικές ομάδες, οι οποίες θα αποτελούνται από αρχιτέκτονες και ειδικούς στα έργα πρασίνου και αρχιτεκτονικής περιβάλλοντος, στατικούς, όπως και μηχανικούς άλλων ειδικοτήτων.

Με την ολοκλήρωση του διαγωνισμού στο πρώτο τρίμηνο του 2021, θα ακολουθήσει η προκήρυξη των λοιπών μελετών με στόχο η ΔΕΘ-Helexpo να είναι έτοιμη μελετητικά για να προχωρήσει εντός του 2022 στην έναρξη των εργασιών ανάπλασης. Μετά την ολοκλήρωση της αρχιτεκτονικής μελέτης, θα ακολουθήσουν άλλες για ζητήματα κτιριακά, περιβαλλοντικά και κυκλοφοριακά, προκειμένου μετά από 1-1,5 χρόνο να προχωρήσει η έκδοση οικοδομικής άδειας ώστε οι εργασίες κατασκευής να αρχίσουν το 2022.

Στόχος μας είναι το 2026, γιορτάζοντας τα 100 χρόνια από την πρώτη διοργάνωση της ΔΕΘ, οι εργασίες να έχουν ολοκληρωθεί και η Θεσσαλονίκη να αποκτήσει ένα νέο τοπόσημο.

Και τα δυο κομβικά έργα που παρουσιάζω αναλυτικά, υπηρετούν την πάγια θέση της Κυβέρνησης ότι η άσκηση αληθινής πολιτικής συνεπάγεται προσφορά στην κοινωνία και στις γενιές που θα ακολουθήσουν.

Στον αξιακό μας κώδικα πολιτική σημαίνει παράγω, δημιουργώ. Να υλοποιείς με πράξεις το χρέος σου προς το κοινωνικό σύνολο, διότι η πολιτική δεν είναι επάγγελμα αλλά αποστολή. Είναι η κάθε σκέψη, πράξη και πρωτοβουλία που βελτιώνει τη ζωή των πολιτών, υπηρετώντας το κοινό καλό.

Γιατί, σε τελική ανάλυση, το πρωτεύον στην πολιτική δεν είναι πόσες κορδέλες εγκαινίων κόβεις, αλλά τι έργο κληροδοτείς στον τόπο σου για το μέλλον. Πόσο χρήσιμος και ωφέλιμος είσαι, υλοποιώντας οραματικές πολιτικές οι οποίες βελτιώνουν την καθημερινότητα και την ποιότητα ζωής των συμπατριωτών σου.

Σε επίπεδο Θεσσαλονίκης ό,τι δεσμευτήκαμε γίνεται πράξη! Σύντομα θα είναι μια πόλη στην οποία αξίζει να ζεις. Αυτοδύναμη, γεμάτη αισιοδοξία για το μέλλον και προικισμένη με υποδομές οι οποίες έλειψαν τις προηγούμενες δεκαετίες.

Δεν εγκαινιάζουμε μουσαμάδες, αλλά παράγουμε μετρήσιμο έργο. Δεν υποσχόμαστε, αλλά εφαρμόζουμε τις κατάλληλες πολιτικές που βάζουν την πόλη σε τροχιά προόδου. Δεν μιλάμε γενικά και αόριστα αλλά θέτουμε αυστηρά χρονοδιαγράμματα, "χτίζοντας"δεσμούς αλήθειας με την κοινωνία που μας εμπιστεύεται και μας δίνει τη δύναμη να αγωνιστούμε για το καλύτερο.

*Ο Θεόδωρος Γ. Καράογλου είναι Υφυπουργός Εσωτερικών (Μακεδονίας-Θράκης), Βουλευτής Β΄ Θεσσαλονίκης Ν.Δ.

ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΣΗΕΜΘ

Το Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο της ΕΣΗΕΜ-Θ είναι σταθερά αντίθετο σε κάθε απόπειρα να στοχοποιούνται δημοσιογράφοι επειδή το αποτέλεσμα του έργου τους δεν είναι αρεστό σε συγκεκριμένα πρόσωπα ή σχήματα.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, η ΕΣΗΕΜ-Θ παρακολουθεί στενά την εξέλιξη της υπόθεσης που αφορά την ανάρτηση σχολίων στα social media από τον πρόεδρο της ΠΑΕ ΑΡΗΣ Θόδωρο Καρυπίδη, κατά των δημοσιογράφων Βασίλη Μάστορα και Δημήτρη Κανελλάκη. Οι συνάδελφοι, μέλη της ΕΣΗΕΜ-Θ, προσέφυγαν στη Δικαιοσύνη για να αντιμετωπίσουν την επίθεση εναντίον της επαγγελματικής υπόστασής τους, και η ΕΣΗΕΜ-Θ θα συμπαρασταθεί με κάθε τρόπο στην προσπάθειά τους.

JULY 16, 2020

U.S., British and Canadian officials accused the Kremlin Thursday of being behind a massive, ongoing cyber hack aimed at stealing from Western pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions doing research into coronavirus vaccines and treatment therapies.

ON THIS DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY

On July 16, 1969, at 9:32 a.m. EDT, Apollo 11 lifts off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, beginning the historic trip to the Moon for astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins. About one million people crowded highways, parking lots and beaches nearby to watch the historic moonshot. The launch was televised in 33 countries and an estimated 25 million Americans watched the lift-off on television. Twelve minutes after launch, Apollo 11 reached orbit and later began the 386,000-kilometer trip to the Moon.

In his first Persian-language tweet in months, President Donald Trump said the executions of three Iranians “sends a terrible signal to the world and should not be done!”

VIDEO: Across the Mekong Delta fishermen, farmers and their families are hoping the current wet season will end a long running drought. Its effects are being felt in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and in Cambodia where rainfall has been far short of expectations.


The United States can keep pressure on the Islamic State terror group and build Iraq’s military capacity with fewer U.S. troops on the ground, the top commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East told VOA in an exclusive interview.

The Taliban said Thursday it has already released 845 Afghan security forces under an ongoing prisoner swap with the Kabul government and is working to free the remaining 155 in line with the insurgent group’s agreement with the United States.

ΕΟΔΥ: Εντοπίστηκαν τα δύο πρώτα περιστατικά λοίμωξης από τον ιό του Δυτικού Νείλου στην Ελλάδα

Σε ποιες περιοχές εντοπίστηκαν

Τα δύο πρώτα επιβεβαιωμένα περιστατικά λοίμωξης από τον ιό του Δυτικού Νείλου για το 2020 εντοπίστηκαν στην Ελλάδα.

Σύμφωνα με τον ΕΟΔΥ, το ένα διαγνώσθηκε στην Περιφερειακή Ενότητα Ξάνθης (δήμος Τοπείρου) και το άλλο στην Περιφερειακή Ενότητα Καρδίτσας (δήμος Καρδίτσας).

Κρούσματα της λοίμωξης από τον ιό του Δυτικού Νείλου εμφανίζονται σε πολλές χώρες παγκοσμίως, όπως και σε πολλές Ευρωπαϊκές χώρες, σε ετήσια βάση. Από το 2010 και μετά, εμφανίζονται κρούσματα σχεδόν κάθε χρόνο και στην Ελλάδα, σε διάφορες περιοχές, κατά τους καλοκαιρινούς και φθινοπωρινούς μήνες. Ως εκ τούτου, θεωρούνταν «πιθανή και αναμενόμενη η επανεμφάνιση περιστατικών και κατά την τρέχουσα περίοδο μετάδοσης», αναφέρει ο ΕΟΔΥ. Τον Μάιο 2020, ο Οργανισμός ενημέρωσε τους επαγγελματίες υγείας πανελλαδικά για την ανάγκη εγρήγορσής τους για την πρώιμη διάγνωση περιστατικών. Καθώς η επιδημιολογία του ιού καθορίζεται από πολλούς παράγοντες, οι περιοχές που θα κυκλοφορήσει ο ιός δεν μπορούν να προβλεφθούν με ασφάλεια.

Για το λόγο αυτό o ΕΟΔΥ συνιστά να τηρούνται τα ατομικά μέτρα προστασίας από τα κουνούπια (https://eody.gov.gr/disease/koynoypia/), σε όλη την επικράτεια, καθ'όλη την περίοδο κυκλοφορίας των κουνουπιών:

* Χρησιμοποιείτε εγκεκριμένα εντομοαπωθητικά σώματος και περιβάλλοντος (σύμφωνα με τις οδηγίες χρήσης), σήτες, κουνουπιέρες, κλιματιστικά/ ανεμιστήρες, κατάλληλα (μακριά) ρούχα.

* Μην αφήνετε στάσιμα νερά πουθενά (έτσι, βοηθάτε ουσιαστικά τις αρχές τοπικής αυτοδιοίκησης στην καταπολέμηση των κουνουπιών).

Άτομα μεγαλύτερης ηλικίας και άτομα με χρόνια υποκείμενα νοσήματα πρέπει να παίρνουν τα μέτρα τους με ιδιαίτερη συνέπεια.

Υπενθυμίζουμε ότι ο ιός του Δυτικού Νείλου μεταδίδεται κυρίως με το τσίμπημα μολυσμένων «κοινών» κουνουπιών, τα οποία μολύνονται από μολυσμένα πτηνά (ορισμένα είδη κυρίως άγριων πτηνών). Οι άνθρωποι που έχουν μολυνθεί θεωρείται ότι δε μεταδίδουν περαιτέρω τον ιό σε άλλα κουνούπια.

Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως η πλειονότητα των ατόμων που μολύνονται από τον ιό δεν αρρωσταίνουν καθόλου ή παρουσιάζουν μόνο ήπια νόσο, ενώ πολύ λίγα άτομα (< 1% όσων μολύνονται) εμφανίζουν σοβαρή νόσο που προσβάλλει το νευρικό σύστημα (κυρίως εγκεφαλίτιδα ή μηνιγγίτιδα). Άτομα μεγαλύτερης ηλικίας (άνω των 50 ετών) κινδυνεύουν περισσότερο να αρρωστήσουν σοβαρά, καθώς και άτομα με ανοσοκαταστολή και χρόνια υποκείμενα νοσήματα.

«Με στόχο την έγκαιρη εφαρμογή στοχευμένων μέτρων απόκρισης και πρόληψης, ο ΕΟΔΥ -σε κάθε περίοδο μετάδοσης- διενεργεί ενισχυμένη επιδημιολογική επιτήρηση της νόσου, διερευνά άμεσα τα περιστατικά και βρίσκεται σε συνεχή επικοινωνία και συνεργασία με τις αρμόδιες εθνικές, περιφερειακές και τοπικές αρχές» καταλήγει ο ΕΟΔΥ.

Περισσότερες πληροφορίες για τον ιό του Δυτικού Νείλου και τα μέτρα προστασίας από τα κουνούπια μπορείτε να βρείτε στην ιστοσελίδα του ΕΟΔΥ.
