ΩΡΑ 16.30
Στα χωριά Κοίλα και Μελία κατευθύνονται αυτήν την ώρα Αστυνομικές δυνάμεις για να ζητήσουν από τους κατοίκους να εγκαταλείψουν τα σπίτια τους αφού η φωτιά κινείται προς τα εκεί.
Η μάχη με τις φλόγες τελειωμό δεν θα έχει απ' ότι δείχνουν τα πράγματα στο Ν. Έβρου. Αυτήν την ώρα σε εξέλιξη βρίσκεται μεγάλη φωτιά που ξεκίνησε από την Λεύκιμη και κατεβαίνει προς τα νότια με μεγάλη ταχύτητα λόγω των ισχυρότατων ανέμων. Επί τόπου κάνουν συνεχείς ρίψεις νερού δύο πυροσβεστικά αεροπλάνα και το ελικόπτερο ενώ ισχυρότατες επίγειες δυνάμεις προσπαθούν να ανακόψουν την πορεία της.Η πορεία της είναι προς το Τριφύλλι και την Πυλαία ενώ τα μέτωπά της είναι πάρα πολλά. Ήδη έχει γίνει αντιληπτή και στην Αλεξανδρούπολη που λόγω του αέρα υπάρχει καπνός.

Δύο μεγάλες πυρκαγιές είναι σε εξέλιξη αυτή την ώρα στον 'Εβρο, στη Λευκίμη και στα Λουτρά.
Λευκίμης: 3 μεγάλα μέτωπα. Πυροσβέστες με ένα ελικόπτερο δίνουν μάχη με τις φλόγες στη Λευκίμη καθώς η έκταση της πυρκαγιάς είναι μεγάλη και στη περιοχή πνέουν δυνατοί άνεμοι με ένταση μεγαλύτερη των 10 μποφόρ. Μπροστά από την πυρκαγιά είναι το χωριό Τριφύλλη που όπως δείχνουν όλα θα απειληθεί.
Οι καπνοί είναι ορατοί μέσα από την πόλη της Αλεξανδρούπολης.
Ώρα 15:00
Οι ισχυροί ανατολικοί άνεμοι που πνέουν στη περιοχή έχουν αλλάξει τη κατεύθυνση της πυρκαγιάς στη Λευκίμη αλλά και στα Λουτρά προς τα δυτικά.
Λευκίμης: Οι επίγειες πυροσβεστικές δυνάμεις δεν έχουν πρόσβαση για τη κατάσβεση της πυρκαγιάς λόγω του δύσβατου της περιοχής και αναμένονται δυνάμεις κατάσβεσης απο τον εναέριο χώρο.
Λουτρά: Έχει αποφευχθεί ο κίνδυνος στο χωριό των Λουτρών λόγω αλλαγής πορείας των ανέμων.

Lefkos Pyrgos
The Tower was used by the Ottomans successively as a fort, garrison and a prison. In 1826, at the order of the Sultan Mahmud II, there was a massacre of the prisoners in the Tower. Owing to the "countless victims of Ottoman torturers and executioners", the tower acquired the name "Tower of Blood" or "Red Tower" (Turkish: Kanli Kule), which it kept until the end of the 19th century.[4]
The Tower was for centuries part of the walls of the old city of Thessaloniki, and separated the Jewish quarter of the city from the cemeteries of the Muslims and Jews.[4] The city walls were demolished in 1866. When Thessaloniki was annexed from the Ottoman Empire to the Greek State in 1912 during the First Balkan War, the tower was whitewashed as a symbolic gesture of cleansing, and acquired its present name. King George I of Greece was assassinated not far from the White Tower in March 1913.
The Tower is now a buff colour but has retained the name White Tower. It now stands on Thessaloniki's waterfront boulevard, Nikis (Victory) Street. It houses a museum dedicated to the history of Thessaloniki and is one of the city's leading tourist attractions. The Tower is under the administration of the Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities of the Greek Ministry of Culture. wikipedia

Alexander The Great
Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known asAlexander the Great (Greek: Μέγας Ἀλέξανδρος, Mégas Aléxandros), was a king of Macedon, a state in northern Greece. By the age of thirty, he had created of one of the largest empires inancient history, stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas. He was undefeated in battle and is considered one of the most successful commanders of all time.[1] Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander was tutored by the famed philosopher Aristotle. In 336 BC he succeeded his father Philip II of Macedon to the throne after Philip was assassinated. Philip had brought most of the city-states of mainland Greece under Macedonian hegemony, using both military and diplomatic means.
Upon Philip's death, Alexander inherited a strong kingdom and an experienced army. He succeeded in being awarded the generalship of Greece and, with his authority firmly established, launched the military plans for expansion left by his father. In 334 BC he invaded Persian-ruledAsia Minor and began a series of campaigns lasting ten years. Alexander broke the power of Persia in a series of decisive battles, most notably the battles of Issus and Gaugamela. Subsequently he overthrew the Persian king Darius III and conquered the entirety of the Persian Empire.i[›] The Macedonian Empire now stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River.
Following his desire to reach the "ends of the world and the Great Outer Sea", he invaded Indiain 326 BC, but was eventually forced to turn back by the near-mutiny of his troops. Alexander died in Babylon in 323 BC, without realizing a series of planned campaigns that would have begun with an invasion of Arabia. In the years following Alexander's death a series of civil wars tore his empire apart which resulted in the formation of a number of states ruled by the Diadochi– Alexander's surviving generals. Although he is mostly remembered for his vast conquests, Alexander's lasting legacy was not his reign, but the cultural diffusion his conquests engendered.
Alexander founded some twenty cities that bore his name. His settlement of Greek colonists and the resulting spread of Greek culture in the east resulted in a new Hellenistic civilization, aspects of which were still evident in the traditions of the Byzantine Empire until the mid-15th century. Alexander became legendary as a classical hero in the mold of Achilles, and features prominently in the history and myth of Greek and non-Greek cultures. He became the measure against which generals, even to this day, compare themselves and military academiesthroughout the world still teach his tactical exploits.[1] ii[›] "wikipedia"

Dhidhimoticho - Translated Twin Walls
http://www.edutube.org/video/didimoticho-greece
City of Thrace, seat of homonym province of prefecture Evros. It is built on the feet of a hill called Kale, in distance of 2,5 km from Turkey and is crossed from the tributary of Evros river, Erythropotamos (Red River). It allocates rich history and enough monuments and sightseeing. It abstains 99 km from Alexandroupoli, 437 km from Thessalonica, 948 km from Athens and 50 km from the Adrianupolis (Edirne Turkey). The residents of Didimoticho, as entire the province, they deal mainly with the agriculture and the livestock-farming. The euphoric grounds of region produce cerials, legumes, beets, corn and garlics. Also in the overhill regions livestock-farming is highly known to citizens, mainly cow farming, and is produced big quantities of meat, cheeses, butter and yogurt.
The area around the town was founded at neolithic times. It was an important Thracian and Hellenistic town.The town was sacked by the Romans in 204. In the early 2nd century b.c, the Roman emperor Trajan creates a new city between the two hills surrounding the town and names it Plotinopolis, after his wife. The city would later be one of the most important town in Thrace, having her own Parliament.

Nipson anomimat mi monan opsin
IΗ γνωστή καρκινική επιγραφή στην Αγία Σοφία
ΝΙΨΟΝ ΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑ ΜΗ ΜΟΝΑΝ ΟΨΙΝ
ξέπλυνε τις αμαρτίες σου και όχι μόνο το πρόσωπό σου
A label, which, according to tradition, was carved on a well outside the Greek Orthodox Church of Hagia Sophia of Konstantinoupolis:
Νίψον ανομήματα, μη μόναν όψιν
(Nipson anomimata, mi monan opsin - it turns out wrong in latin letters, as the Greek letter ψ corresponds to the sound ps)
It means " (When you enter this church) wash off your sins, not just your face".
In Greek, palindromes are called "cancer phrases", because they mimic the movement of the crab, which takes one step in one direction and one step in the other.

Luanda Angola at night
Toronto has surpassed Vancouver as the most expensive place to live in Canada, according to an annual report released on Tuesday, with Calgary listed as the 96th most expensive.
Cost-of-living research firm Mercer released its global survey of 214 cities this morning, revealing the most expensive places to live for 2011. Overall, the Canadian cities are becoming more expensive, mostly due to the strength of the Canadian dollar.
The report said Toronto pulled ahead of Vancouver this year due to high rental costs.
Overall, African, Asian and European cities dominated the rankings, occupying all but one spot in the top 10. Mercer analysts say that, while gas prices pushed prices higher in North America, that growth was outpaced by what was seen in the previously mentioned three continents.
Luanda, Angola and N'Djamena, Chad were ranked first and third respectively. Mercer said expats' accommodation and food costs drove the high placement of many African cities.
Beyond Africa, Mercer said Australia saw some of the sharpest jumps in cost of living in the last year, with Sydney surging 10 places to 14th, Melbourne to 21st from 33rd, and Perth jumping a staggering 30 spots to rank 30th.

Greek diaspora bond issue aimed at wealthy high achievers
The Greek diaspora bond issue will be aimed at wealthy high achievers – among them, Jennifer Aniston, whose father was born in Crete.
Newly invigorated by the European Union's decision to ease the terms of its gargantuan bailout, debt-stricken Greece has begun wooing its wealthy community overseas in the hope that it will rally around the homeland.
Athens hopes that a winning mix of nostalgia for the old country and the whiff of a good deal will entice ethnic Greeks abroad to buy diasporabonds. The socialist government recently filed a shelf-registration with US regulators to proceed with the issue, in what officials called a prelude to the country re-entering capital markets.
"When the Israelis went through a similar crisis they found a new weapon through diaspora bonds," the deputy foreign minister, Dimitris Dollis, told the Guardian. "After talks with the Jewish lobby in the US, and leadership in Israel, we decided to issue them too."
Originally announced in New York by Greece's US-born prime minister George Papandreou, himself a product of the diaspora, the programme foresees Athens raising up to $3bn (£1.9bn) from the bonds in a series of quarterly sales. Officials say they are aiming for a yield of below 5% with likely maturities of between three and 10 years.
Since being bailed out by the EU and IMF to the tune of ¤110bn after it came close to bankruptcy last May, Greece has been unable to sell bonds with a maturity longer than six months. Its credit rating, sharply downgraded by Moody's this month, now lies deep in junk territory.
An estimated 11 million people of Greek descent live abroad – the same as the entire population of Greece. With many wealthy high achievers among their number – from the Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston, whose father was born in Crete, to the UK's Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, founder of easyJet, and property tycoons the Candy brothers – they represent a source of funding to be tapped.
Australia embraces Greek Economic Crisis
The Greek economic crisis has led to a sharp increase in the number of highly skilled and educated Greek nationals seeking opportunities outside Greece. The main destinations of choice for Greeks include the UK, US and other European nations. There has also been a significant rise in the number of Greeks seeking to work and study in Australia.
The purpose of this report is to outline the ways in which Greek nationals can make a valuable contribution to the economic and social fabric of Australian society and to suggest practical reforms to the Australian immigration process to facilitate the entry of Greek visa applicants to Australia.
At present, the main avenues through which Greeks are seeking entry to Australia are the permanent and temporary visa programs, including the business skills program, skilled migration program, student visa program and family migration program.
A significant proportion of Greeks are skilled, highly educated and largely fluent in English. They are attractive candidates for Australian migration.
People of Greek descent have unquestionably integrated well into the Australian community and assisted in the social and economic development of Australia. The 2006 Australian Census records 109,980 Greece-born migrants, and 365,145 people of Greek ancestry living in Australia (based on country of birth of parents). Some estimates suggest the Greek community in Australia could be as large as 600,000. The Greek population is concentrated in Melbourne (41 per cent) and Sydney (30 per cent). Melbourne, Sister City to Thessaloniki, has been described as the third largest 'Greek city' in the world and is an important overseas centre of Hellenism.
Australia has embraced Greek people and Greek culture and this has benefitted Australian society socially, culturally and economically. In short, Greeks 'fit into' the Australian community and contribute to its prosperity.
Despite this, Greek Nationals are facing significant challenges in applying for entry to Australia under the existing visa streams.
By introducing and implementing a number of key changes to the Australian visa application and processing system, Greeks will be able to more easily and effectively enter Australia to meet skills shortages and make a positive impact to the economic and social landscape in this country. We understand that Australia's migration legislation, policies and procedures are non-discriminatory in nature and we are not seeking any special or preferential treatment for Greek visa applicants. Rather, we are suggesting some small scale practical reforms to the current system to allow Greeks to more easily apply for the visas for which they are eligible.
