Βραζιλία: Αναβάλλεται επ’ αόριστον και το καρναβάλι του Ρίο λόγω κορωνοϊού

Το διάσημο καρναβάλι στο Ρίο ντε Ζανέιρο στην Βραζιλία, αναβάλλεται επ’ αόριστον.

Το περίφημο καρναβάλι της Βραζιλίας, επρόκειτο να διεξαχθεί τον Φεβρουάριο, όμως αναβλήθηκε επ’ αόριστον εξαιτίας της πανδημίας του κορωνοϊού, όπως ανακοίνωσε αξιωματούχος.

«Καταλήξαμε στο συμπέρασμα ότι η εκδήλωση πρέπει να αναβληθεί. Απλούστατα δεν μπορούμε να την κάνουμε τον Φεβρουάριο. Οι σχολές σάμπας δεν έχουν ούτε τον χρόνο, ούτε τους χρηματοδοτικούς και οργανωτικούς πόρους ώστε να είναι έτοιμες τον Φεβρουάριο», δήλωσε σε δημοσιογράφους ο Ζόρζι Καστανιέιρα, πρόεδρος της Ανεξάρτητης Ένωσης Σχολών Σάμπας του Ρίο (LIESA), που οργανώνει το καρναβάλι.

Ηδη έχει γίνει γνωστό πως αναβάλλεται και το άλλο μεγάλο καρναβάλι της χώρας, αυτό στο Σάο Πάολο, από τον Ιούλιο.

Ύψιστη προτεραιότητα η οδική ασφάλεια των πολιτών της Μητροπολιτικής Ενότητας Θεσσαλονίκης

Η Μητροπολιτική Ενότητα Θεσσαλονίκης δίνει ιδιαίτερη βαρύτητα στα ζητήματα οδικής ασφάλειας.

Η τοποθέτηση στηθαίων υψίστης ασφαλείας, στοχεύει στη μείωση των πιθανοτήτων τροχαίων ατυχημάτων.

Το σημείο πριν την είσοδο της Επανομής είναι ένα επικίνδυνο σημείο, που δυστυχώς η εγκληματική παραβίαση της διπλής διαχωριστικής γραμμής από οδηγούς, έχει προκαλέσει πολλά δυστυχήματα.

Αύριο ολοκληρώνεται ακόμα ένα έργο της Μητροπολιτικής Ενότητας Θεσσαλονίκης με την τοποθέτηση προκατασκευασμένων στηθαίων από σκυρόδεμα επί του άξονα της 28ης Επαρχιακής Οδού Θεσσαλονίκης – Πλαγιαρίου - Επανομής, στο ύψος του 1ου χλμ της επαρχιακής οδού (από την είσοδο της Επανομής έως το φανάρι αναστροφής) για το διαχωρισμό της κυκλοφορίας.

Αντικείμενο του έργου είναι τόσο η τοποθέτηση Συστημάτων Αναχαίτισης Οχημάτων (Σ.Α.Ο.) σε θέσεις όπου δεν υπάρχουν καθόλου μεταλλικά στηθαία ασφαλείας, όσο και η αντικατάσταση των υφισταμένων μεταλλικών στηθαίων ασφαλείας παλαιού τύπου.

Η Αντιπεριφερειάρχης κ. Πατουλίδου επεσήμανε πως αποτελεί προτεραιότητα για την Περιφέρεια Κεντρικής Μακεδονίας και τον Περιφερειάρχη Απόστολο Τζιτζικώστα η οδική ασφάλεια των συμπολιτών μας και μελλοντικός στόχος είναι να τοποθετηθούν αυτά τα συστήματα αναχαίτισης σε όλα τα επικίνδυνα σημεία της Περιφέρειας. Μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο μπαίνει τέλος στην αυθαίρετη οδηγική συμπεριφορά, εξασφαλίζοντας την ομαλή διέλευση των αυτοκινήτων.

Tour Sponsorship Introduced As Musk Company Presents Rolling Stones Tour

1981

The Rolling Stones start their US tour with a concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, where they play to a crowd of 90,000. The tour is sponsored by musk maker Jovan, establishing a new paradigm for corporate involvement.

Artists have pitched products in the past, typically for alcohol (Hank Williams Jr. for Jim Beam), tobacco (Charlie Daniels for Skoal) or recording gear (Earth, Wind & Fire for Panasonic), but the tie-in with Jovan, one of the top three fragrance companies, marks the first major sponsorship of a national tour. The Stones don't have to wear the fragrance or endorse it. For Jovan's reported at $3 million, they get their logo on every ticket and on the promotional materials, including the copy sent to radio stations encouraging them to say something like "The Rolling Stones tour, presented by Jovan, comes to the Woobiedoobie Arena on Thursday." The official tour logo is the Jovan logo with the Stones lips and tongue sticking out of the O. In 1971, Jovan became the first fragrance company to sell natural musk, a feral scent made from the secretions of male musk deer. In 1981, it's a very popular scent among young men looking to boost their animal attraction, which is the Rolling Stones core audience. By associating their musk with the band, Jovan sets themselves appart from competitors like Avon and Faberge, which have their own musks. You might not move like Jagger, but maybe you can smell like him. The deal was initiated by J. Walter Thompson, Jovan's advertising agency. It's a risk for both parties: The Stones could face sell-out accusations, and the stink from any indiscretions on the tour could rub off on Jovan. But this is not the Rolling Stones of the '60s, when they were getting arrested, losing a member to a drug overdose (Brian Jones), and using gang members for security. Thank in part to a sober Keith Richards, the tour goes off without incident, grossing about $52 million and selling over 3 million tickets, making it far and away the top trek of 1981. Bands and advertising agencies smell an opportunity, leading to more tour sponsorships of this ilk. When The Who embark on their 1982 tour, it's sponsored by Schlitz. Eric Clapton's 1983 tour is sponsored by Camel cigarettes. That same year, Jovan spreads their scent even further by teaming up with Kenny Rogers. In addition to the tour sponsorship, they introduce two new Rogers-inspired scents: The Gambler and Lady. When the Stones launch their next world tour, Steel Wheels in 1989, it's sponsored by Budweiser.

Το National Geographic αποθεώνει τις ΜιΝΑΞΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΜΙΚΡΕΣ ΚΥΚΛΑΔΕΣ

Αναλυτικό οδηγό 14 ημέρων για τη Νάξο και τις Μικρές Κυκλάδες δημοσιεύει το National Geographic με έμφαση στις μαγευτικές παραλίες.

«Η ζωή στο νερό: Πώς να διαθέσεις δύο εβδομάδες στις Κυκλάδες», είναι ο τίτλος του νέου εκτενούς άρθρου του έγκυρου Βρετανικού National Geographic που επιμελήθηκε το γραφείο ΕΟΤ Μεγάλης Βρετανίας, στο πλαίσιο του στοχευμένου προγράμματος προβολής και ύστερα από ενημέρωση και αποστολή υλικού από τον δήμο Νάξου και Μικρών Κυκλάδων.

Το αφιέρωμα - οδηγός του δημοφιλούς ιστοτόπου με τους εκατομμύρια επισκέπτες, τοποθετεί τη Νάξο και τις Μικρές Κυκλάδες στην κορυφή των επιλογών του τουρίστα σε Κυκλάδες και Ελλάδα για περιήγηση- island hopping και ιστιοπλοΐα. Ήδη, ο αναλυτικός οδηγός των 14 ημερών έχει προκαλέσει μεγάλη εντύπωση στους Βρετανούς φίλους της περιπέτειας. Στο άρθρο τονίζεται ιδιαίτερα η ασφαλής φύση των διακοπών που προσφέρουν τα πέντε νησιά μέσα από την ποικιλία ενδιαφερόντων, τις αναρίθμητες παραλίες και τις εμπειρίες μακριά από κοσμοσυρροή.

Όπως αναφέρει το ΑΠΕ ΜΠΕ, το ταξίδι ξεκινάει με τους καλύτερους οιωνούς από τη Νάξο της περιήγησης, του Κάστρου, των ιδιαίτερων γεύσεων, των μουσείων, των απέραντων παραλιών και των μοναδικών χωριών. Τη «σκυτάλη» παίρνει η Ηρακλειά με την άγρια φυσική ομορφιά και τις αναζωογονητικές δραστηριότητες της. Οι μοναδικές εμπειρίες διαδέχονται η μία την άλλη και σειρά έχει η Σχοινούσα που αποτελεί τον «παράδεισο» των πιστών του yachting. Τα συναισθήματα και οι συγκινήσεις κορυφώνονται στα Κουφονήσια, τα οποία χαρίζουν απλόχερα αναμνήσεις εξωτισμού, γραφικότητας και φινέτσας. Το αλησμόνητο 14ήμερο ολοκληρώνεται με ένα καλά κρυμμένο και συνάμα πολύτιμο μυστικό που ακούει στο όνομα Δονούσα και που θα παρασύρει τον επισκέπτη στους χαλαρούς ρυθμούς της.

«Θα συνεχίσουμε την προσπάθεια ως Δήμος ώστε να ταυτιζόμαστε με ΜΜΕ παγκοσμίου κύρους να αποσπάμε διεθνείς διακρίσεις και να «επενδύουμε» στο brandname μας ως ποιοτικός και πολυδιάστατος προορισμός», δήλωσε ο αντιδήμαρχος Τουρισμού Νάξου και Μικρών Κυκλάδων Βαγγέλης Κατσαράς που ευχαρίστησε θερμά την Προϊσταμένη του Γραφείου ΕΟΤ Μεγάλης Βρετανίας, Έμυ Αναγνωστοπούλου για την πολύτιμη συνεργασία.

Εικονική ξενάγηση στο Α’ Νεκροταφείο - Μοναδικά γλυπτά, έργα τέχνης

Μέσα από το Ιντερνετ μπορεί κανείς να «περπατήσει» στο πλέον σιωπηλό μουσείο της σύγχρονης Ελλάδας, όπου θα δει γλυπτά του Χαλεπά, του Φιλιππότη, του Λουκόπουλου, της Ευθυμιάδη - Μενεγάκη, του Ζογγολόπουλου και τόσων άλλων

Στα 225 στρέμματα που περικλείονται από τις οδούς Ηλιουπόλεως, Υμηττού, Μάρκου Μουσούρου και Λογγίνου βρίσκεται - κυριολεκτικά - θαμμένη η νεότερη ιστορία της Ελλάδας. Ή, για να ακριβολογούμε, οι πρωταγωνιστές της. Προσωπικότητες που άφησαν ανεξίτηλο το στίγμα τους στη δημόσια σφαίρα της χώρας, με πολυτάραχους βίους που σε πολλές περιπτώσεις συγκρούστηκαν μεταξύ τους εν ζωή, αναπαύονται πλέον εν ειρήνη στο Α'Νεκροταφείο Αθηνών.

Πέραν όμως των σκαλισμένων σε μάρμαρα λαμπρών ονομάτων που κάνουν εκ των πραγμάτων το παλαιότερο κοιμητήριο της πρωτεύουσας να ξεχωρίζει, η μοναδικότητά του έγκειται και στα γλυπτά αριστουργήματα που κοσμούν τα μνήματα των επιφανέστερων ανδρών και γυναικών. Στο πλέον σιωπηλό μουσείο της σύγχρονης Ελλάδας «συνωστίζονται» έργα του Χαλεπά, του Φιλιππότη, του Λουκόπουλου, της Ευθυμιάδη - Μενεγάκη, των αδερφών Φυτάλη, του Τόμπρου, του Βιτσάρη, του Βρούτου, του Μπονάνου, του Ζογγολόπουλου, του Παρμακέλη και τόσων άλλων.

Πίσω από τους ψηλούς τοίχους του κρύβονται περισσότερα από 12.000 μνήματα και 700 μνημεία, γεγονός που το καθιστά τη μεγαλύτερη υπαίθρια γλυπτοθήκη της χώρας, με τον γλύπτη Θωμά Θωμόπουλο να γράφει στις αρχές του 20ού αιώνα πως εκεί «περικλείεται πάσα η κίνησις της νεωτέρας γλυπτικής». Εύκολα, λοιπόν, γίνεται αντιληπτό ότι μια βόλτα, όσο μεγάλη και εάν είναι σε διάρκεια, δεν είναι αρκετή για να καταγράψει κανείς τα κομψοτεχνήματα που διάσπαρτα ξεπροβάλλουν στην κατάφυτη έκταση.

Αυτό επιβεβαιώνει, εξάλλου, η Φίλια Ξυλά - Παττακού που μαζί με τη Λίντα Θεοδώρου δημιούργησαν έναν ιστότοπο (athensfirstcemeteryingreek.blogspot.com), στον οποίο έλληνες και ξένοι μπορούν να ξεναγηθούν εικονικά στους διαδρόμους του Α'Νεκροταφείου, δίπλα στα περίτεχνα αλλά και εντυπωσιακά λιτά μνήματα. «Η ιδέα για τη δημιουργία του blog ανήκει στη Λίντα, η οποία έχει επίσης δημιουργήσει ένα αντίστοιχο για ξεχωριστές εκκλησίες της χώρας», λέει η Φίλια Ξυλά - Παττακού που έχει περάσει ατελείωτες ώρες στους ίσκιους των κυπαρισσιών και των πεύκων του, καταγράφοντας περίτεχνα ταφικά μνημεία.

Ολη η ιστορία

«Ξεκινήσαμε το 2016 και σιγά σιγά ανακαλύψαμε ότι στο Α'Νεκροταφείο βρίσκονται είτε τα μνήματα είτε τα κενοτάφια σχεδόν του συνόλου των πρωταγωνιστών της νεότερης ιστορίας της χώρας. Ελάχιστοι λείπουν. Ταυτόχρονα, διαπιστώσαμε ότι εντός του κοιμητηρίου υπάρχουν μοναδικά γλυπτά. Ενδεικτικό του ενδιαφέροντος του κόσμου για το κοιμητήριο της Αθήνας είναι ότι οι επισκέπτες του ιστοτόπου έχουν ήδη ξεπεράσει τις 70.000 από ολόκληρο τον κόσμο», περιγράφει η ίδια και εξηγεί: «Εχω ξεχωρίσει ιδιαίτερα ένα κομμάτι της Φρόσως Ευθυμιάδη - Μενεγάκη.

Το γλυπτό της στον οικογενειακό τάφο της είναι επιβλητικό με έναν διαφορετικό τρόπο. Δεν είναι κάποια μαρμάρινη κατασκευή που φτάνει στους ουρανούς, όπως π.χ. του Καρατζά ή του Φιξ. Αντιθέτως, είναι σε ανθρώπινη κλίμακα. Λόγω αυτής της έλλειψης βάθρου η ιδεατή γραμμή μεταξύ γλυπτού και θεατή έχει αφαιρεθεί και έτσι ο θεατής έχει μεγαλύτερη αίσθηση ταύτισης με το θέμα: την απώλεια. Επίσης, έχω ξεχωρίσει το έργο των αδερφών Φυτάλη στον οικογενειακό τάφο της οικογένειας Λουριώτη, τον "Θρηνώδη άγγελο"του Ιωάννη Βιτσάρη στον τάφο της οικογένειας Κουμέλη, αλλά και δύο έργα του σπουδαίου σύγχρονου γλύπτη Γιάννη Παρμακέλη. Ο γλύπτης δημιούργησε μια σύνθεση για τον οικογενειακό τάφο του Ανδρόπουλου, που αποτελείται από έναν μεταλλικό, πανύψηλο, μαύρο σταυρό και έναν ανάγλυφο άγγελο, ενώ έχει φιλοτεχνήσει και ένα γλυπτό για τον τάφο της οικογένειας Γουλανδρή που εντάσσεται στη σειρά "Μάρτυρες και θύματα"και με το οποίο θέλει να αποδώσει τιμές σε όλους τους άγνωστους ανθρώπους οι οποίοι, χωρίς να σκεφτούν προσωπικό κόστος και θυσίες, συνέβαλαν στην πρόοδο της ανθρωπότητας. Φυσικά δεν μπορούμε να ξεχάσουμε τον Χαλεπά με την "Κοιμωμένη"και τους υπόλοιπους μεγάλους τήνιους γλύπτες».

Τα μνημεία του Α'Νεκροταφείου θα χρειάζονταν εκατοντάδες σελίδες για να απαριθμηθούν και η Ξυλά - Παττακού τονίζει ότι επιβλητικοί είναι και οι τάφοι των μεγάλων ευεργετών Αβέρωφ, Τοσίτσα, Βαρβάκη, Συγγρού, Ζωγράφου κ.ά. στο τμήμα πολυτελείας, το κενοτάφιο του Κοραή, οι τάφοι του Κολοκοτρώνη, του Μακρυγιάννη, της Βέμπο, της Ρεζάν, της Παπαδάκη, της Μερκούρη, της Κυβέλης, της Κοτοπούλη…

ΣΤΕΙΤ ΝΤΙΠΑΡΤΜΕΝΤ: ΣΤΗ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ Ο ΠΟΜΠΕΟ ΘΑ ΔΕΙΞΕΙ ΠΩΣ ΣΤΗΡΙΖΟΥΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ

Αξιωματούχος του Στέιτ Ντιπάρτμεντ, σχολιάζοντας την επίσκεψη Πομπέο στη Θεσσαλονίκη, είπε ότι οι ΗΠΑ θα δείξουν πώς βρίσκονται στο πλευρό της Ελλάδας

Η ιστορική αναβάθμιση των ελληνοαμερικανικών σχέσεων και η ανάπτυξη της Ελλάδας ως ισχυρού περιφερειακού εταίρου των ΗΠΑ στους τομείς της ασφάλειας και της ενέργειας θα βρεθούν στο επίκεντρο της επικείμενης επίσκεψης του Αμερικανού υπουργού Εξωτερικών Μάικ Πομπέο στη χώρα μας.

Όπως δήλωσε ανώτερος αξιωματούχος του Στέιτ Ντιπάρτμεντ, «αυτό θα είναι το δεύτερο ταξίδι του υπουργού Πομπέο στην Ελλάδα. Μόλις πριν από ένα χρόνο πήγαμε στην Αθήνα για τον Στρατηγικό Διάλογο. Νομίζω ότι το γεγονός ότι επιστρέφουμε θα υπογραμμίσει πόσο ισχυροί έχουν γίνει οι δεσμοί ΗΠΑ-Ελλάδας τα τελευταία χρόνια. Οι σχέσεις ΗΠΑ-Ελλάδας είναι πραγματικά σε ιστορικά υψηλό επίπεδο και αυτή η επερχόμενη επίσκεψη θα υπογραμμίσει τις επιτυχίες στις διμερείς σχέσεις».

Πρώτος σταθμός της επίσκεψης του Μάικ Πομπέο θα είναι η Θεσσαλονίκη, όπου θα τον υποδεχτεί ο Νίκος Δένδιας. Σύμφωνα με τον αξιωματούχο του Στέιτ Ντιπάρτμεντ, η παρουσία των ΗΠΑ στη Βόρεια Ελλάδα και στη Θεσσαλονίκη αυξάνεται σταθερά. Ο κ. Πομπέο αναμένεται ότι θα δώσει έμφαση στη σημασία της ενεργειακής διαφοροποίησης και των έργων ενεργειακής υποδομής που υλοποιούνται στη χώρα μας, ενώ θα υπογράψει και διμερή συμφωνία για τη συνεργασία στον επιστημονικό και τεχνολογικό τομέα.

«Στη Θεσσαλονίκη, θα δείξουμε πώς βρισκόμαστε στο πλευρό της Ελλάδας, επενδύοντας στο μέλλον της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου και των Βαλκανίων. Οι ΗΠΑ καταβάλλουν προσπάθειες στο να βοηθήσουν την Ελλάδα να γίνει ένας πιο ικανός εταίρος για τις ΗΠΑ στους τομείς της ενεργειακής διαφοροποίησης και ανεξαρτησίας», τόνισε χαρακτηριστικά.

Ο δεύτερος σταθμός του ταξιδιού θα είναι η Κρήτη, όπως τονίζει το ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ, όπου ο Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης θα υποδεχτεί τον κ. Πομπέο. Ο Αμερικανός αξιωματούχος στάθηκε στην επίσκεψη που θα πραγματοποιήσει ο Μάικ Πομπέο στη Βάση της Σούδας, λέγοντας ότι αντανακλά την επέκταση της αμυντικής σχέσης μετά την επικαιροποίηση της διμερούς Συμφωνίας Αμοιβαίας Αμυντικής Συνεργασίας (MDCA).

Αναφορικά με τις τελευταίες εξελίξεις στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο, ο αξιωματούχος υπενθύμισε ότι η Ουάσιγκτον έχει επανειλημμένα τοποθετηθεί για την ανάγκη αποκλιμάκωσης. Επιπλέον, είπε ότι ο Μάικ Πομπέο έχει καλωσορίσει τις πρόσφατες θετικές εξελίξεις και την προοπτική της επιστροφής στον διάλογο. Υπό αυτό το πρίσμα, σημείωσε ότι οι ΗΠΑ χαιρετίζουν την ανακοίνωση για την επανάληψη των διερευνητικών συνομιλιών και εξέφρασε τη βεβαιότητα ότι το συγκεκριμένο θέμα θα συζητηθεί στην επίσκεψη. Ωστόσο, ξεκαθάρισε ότι πρωταρχικός στόχος του ταξιδιού παραμένει η περαιτέρω ανάπτυξη των διμερών σχέσεων.

Τέλος, είπε ότι η πρόοδος στις σχέσεις ΗΠΑ-Ελλάδας είναι μια θετική εξέλιξη για ολόκληρη την περιοχή, ενώ σχετικά με την Τουρκία σχολίασε ότι οι σχέσεις με μια χώρα δεν επηρεάζουν τις σχέσεις με μια άλλη χώρα.

United Airlines: Η πρώτη αεροπορική

που θα κάνει γρήγορο τεστ Covid-19

για το πλήρωμα και τους επιβάτες!

Κατερίνα Ρίγκου

Όπως αναφέρει το CNN, η United Airlines είναι η πρώτη αεροπορική εταιρεία των ΗΠΑ που θα προσφέρει τεστ κορονοϊού στους επιβάτες της, με έναρξη την 15η Οκτωβρίου.

Η ΙΑΤΑ ζήτησε πρόσφατα την διενέργεια υποχρεωτικών τεστ κορoνοϊού για όλους τους επιβάτες και τα μέλη του πληρώματος των αεροσκαφών πριν από διεθνείς πτήσεις, καλώντας τις κυβερνήσεις να δημιουργήσουν και να χρηματοδοτήσουν το πρόγραμμα των τεστ.

Η πρώτη πτήση της United Airlines στην οποία θα πραγματοποιηθούν τα τεστ είναι η πτήση,
Σαν Φρανσίσκο-Χαβάη, με τη διενέργεια γρήγορων, 15λεπτων τεστ, ώστε να αποφευχθεί μεταξύ άλλων και η 14ήμερη καραντίνα που ισχύει υποχρεωτικά στον τελικό προορισμό.
