Greek Island of Samos Struggles with Overcrowded Migrant Camps (video)
Greek Island of Samos Struggles with Overcrowded Migrant Camps (video)
The Greek island of Samos is home to at least 3,800 asylum seekers which is half the size of the local population and four times its camp capacity, says a report on Al Jazeera. As John Psaropoulos reports, many have opted to live in the open. There’s no running water, and the best way to have a bath is to swim in the sea. It is estimated that around 18,000 asylum-seekers are now living on the Greek islands. Migrant numbers are expected to rise following an agreement with Germany last week for th...

Fears for future of unique crops in wake of devastating wildfires
(24 Aug 2012) STORYLINE:
Wildfires on the Greek island of Chios may have abated - but residents are now counting the potential cost after much of the island's famous Mastiha crops were destroyed in the blaze.
The eastern Aegean Sea island is famous for its mastic, a gum-like resin with a distinctive flavour produced only by trees in certain parts of the island.
More than half the crop is exported for use in confectionery, cooking and cosmetics.
Greek authorities have estimated that by Tuesday the blaze - which began shortly after 2 am (2300 GMT) on Saturday - had destroyed at least 12-thousand hectares (29,650 acres) of vegetation.
Forest fires are common during Greece's long hot summers - but the country has seen hundreds of blazes in recent weeks following a heat wave.
The damage is huge and economically it will be felt across the whole island of Chios, in every domain, said Mastiha farmer Giannis Kapetanos, as he surveyed a charred field on Wednesday.
In the southern village of Pirgi, rolling hills which were once covered by tens of thousands of Mastiha plants were left with only charred remains of the prized crop.
Farmers estimated that 40 to 45 percent of the crops in this area, which were responsible for a fourth of global production, have been burnt.
This has left the island's residents with few economic alternatives.
The production of Mastiha has been a pillar of their economy for hundreds of years.
Chios, as a regional district, does not have many economic pillars. One of the few it has is Mastiha, explained Moniaros Eythimis, president of the Union of Mastiha Producers of Chios.
Indeed, many believed that Greece's unique foodstuffs and cultural goods, such as Mastiha, were an area of economic growth in the debt-racked country.
They're now concerned about the impact on exports following the destruction of this valuable crop.
Chios's economy has taken a big hit, said Eythimis. But I would say that not only (Chios) but the entire economy of Greece.
The reason is that our products, to a large extent, more than 70 percent, are intended for export, he added.
Meanwhile, distillers such as Giannis Stoupakis, co-owner of the Stoupakis Mastiha Distillery in Chios, have also been affected by the burning of the crops.
Having realised an international taste for Greek products such as Mastiha, Stoupakis opened a large distillery in 2010 along with a group of investment partners.
He is now worried about the long-term effects of the fire on the broader island community.
When one's economic way of life changes, one's entire life changes, Stoupakis explained.
With the economic difficulties we are now going through, the impact will be huge (from the fire) and ultimately it is unknown how much it will affect us, because with the price of Mastiha we had a steady income and, as you can see, the economic situation of Greece is uncertain.
It is unknown how it will affect us, he added. There will be people who will be left almost poor from the burning of all their trees.

Ciao Adios Lyrics by Anne Marie:
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nah Aha
[Verse 1]
Asked you once, asked you twice now
There's lipstick on your collar
You say she's just a friend now
Then why don't we call her
So you wanna go home with someone
To do all the things you used to do to me
I swear, I know you do
[Pre-Chorus]
Used to take me out, in your fancy car
And make out in the rain
And when I ring you up
Don't know where you are
'Til I hear her say your name
Used to sing along, when you played guitar
That's a distant memory
Hope she treats you better than you treated me, ha
[Chorus]
I'm onto you, yeah you
I'm not your number one
I saw you, with her
Kissing and having fun
If you're giving her all of your money and time
I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you
Ciao adios, I'm done
Ciao adios, I'm done
Ciao adios, I'm done
[Verse 2]
After three, after four times
Why did I bother?
Tell me how many more times
Does it take to get smarter?
Don't need to deny the hurt and the lies
And all of the things that you did to me
I swear, I know you did
[Pre-Chorus]
And now you take her out, in your fancy car
And you make out in the rain
And when she rings you up
She know where you are
But I know differently
Now she sings along, when you play guitar
Making brand new memories
Hope you treat her better than you treated me
[Chorus]
I'm onto you, yeah you
I'm not your number one
I saw you, with her
Kissing and having fun
If you're giving her all of your money and time
I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you
Ciao adios, I'm done (I'm done)
Ciao adios, I'm done (no, no, no, no)
Ciao adios, I'm done
If you're giving her all of your money and time
I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you
Ciao adios, I'm done
[Bridge]
And now you take her out, in your fancy car
And make out in the rain
And when she rings you up
She know where you are
But I know differently
Now she sings along, when you play guitar
Making brand new memories
Hope you treat her better than you treated me
[Chorus + Outro]
I'm onto you, yeah you
I'm not your number one
I saw you, with her
Kissing and having fun
If you're giving her all of your money and time
I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you
Ciao adios, I'm done (I'm done)
Ciao adios, I'm done (you get on with your life, I'll get on with my life)
Ciao adios, I'm, I'm done
If you're giving her all of your money and time
I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you
Ciao adios, I'm done

Turkey: Deported refugees arrive in Dikili
A boat carrying so-called 'irregular migrants' from Greece to Turkey arrived in Dikili on the Turkish coast, Friday, as part of the controversial refugee deal between the EU and Turkey.
The news that a refugee camp will have to be constructed in the town resulted in demonstrations last Saturday, where dozens of Dikili residents gathered in Ataturk Square to protest against it.

SUMMARY
=======
Greece (Greek: Ελλάδα, Elláda Greek pronunciation: [eˈlaða]), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: Ελληνική Δημοκρατία, Ellinikí Dimokratía Greek pronunciation: [eliniˈci ðimokraˈti.a]), historically also known as Hellas (Ancient Greek: Ἑλλάς, Hellás Greek pronunciation: [heˈlas]), is a country located in Southern and Southeast Europe, with a population of approximately 11 million as of 2016. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki.
Greece is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Situated on the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula, it shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north, and Turkey to the northeast. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, the Cretan Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin and the 11th longest coastline in the world at 13,676 km (8,498 mi) in length, featuring a large number of islands, of which 227 are inhabited. Eighty percent of Greece is mountainous, with Mount Olympus being the highest peak at 2,918 metres (9,573 ft). The country consists of nine geographic regions: Macedonia, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, the Aegean Islands (including the Dodecanese and Cyclades), Thrace, Crete, and the Ionian Islands.
Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilisation, being the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, Western literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, and Western drama, as well as the Olympic Games. From the eighth century BC, the Greeks were organised into various independent city-states, known as poleis (singular polis), which spanned the entire Mediterranean region and the Black Sea. Philip of Macedon united most of the Greek mainland in the fourth century BC, with his son Alexander the Great rapidly conquering much of the ancient world, spreading Greek culture and science from the eastern Mediterranean to India. Greece was annexed by Rome in the second century BC, becoming an integral part of the Roman Empire and its successor, the Byzantine Empire, wherein Greek language and culture were dominant. Rooted in the first century A.D., the Greek Orthodox Church helped shape modern Greek identity and transmitted Greek traditions to the wider Orthodox World. Falling under Ottoman dominion in the mid-15th century, the modern nation state of Greece emerged in 1830 following a war of independence. Greece's rich historical legacy is reflected by its 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The sovereign state of Greece is a unitary parliamentary republic and developed country with an advanced high-income economy, a high quality of life, and a very high standard of living. A founding member of the United Nations, Greece was the tenth member to join the European Communities (precursor to the European Union) and has been part of the Eurozone since 2001. It is also a member of numerous other international institutions, including the Council of Europe, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF). Greece's unique cultural heritage, large tourism industry, prominent shipping sector and geostrategic importance classify it as a middle power. It is the largest economy in the Balkans, where it is an important regional investor.

SUMMARY
=======
The Greeks or Hellenes (; Greek: Έλληνες, Éllines [ˈelines]) are an ethnic group native to Greece, Cyprus, southern Albania, Italy, Turkey, Egypt and, to a lesser extent, other countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. They also form a significant diaspora, with Greek communities established around the world.Greek colonies and communities have been historically established on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, but the Greek people have always been centered on the Aegean and Ionian seas, where the Greek language has been spoken since the Bronze Age. Until the early 20th century, Greeks were distributed between the Greek peninsula, the western coast of Asia Minor, the Black Sea coast, Cappadocia in central Anatolia, Egypt, the Balkans, Cyprus, and Constantinople. Many of these regions coincided to a large extent with the borders of the Byzantine Empire of the late 11th century and the Eastern Mediterranean areas of ancient Greek colonization. The cultural centers of the Greeks have included Athens, Thessalonica, Alexandria, Smyrna, and Constantinople at various periods.
Most ethnic Greeks live nowadays within the borders of the modern Greek state and Cyprus. The Greek genocide and population exchange between Greece and Turkey nearly ended the three millennia-old Greek presence in Asia Minor. Other longstanding Greek populations can be found from southern Italy to the Caucasus and southern Russia and Ukraine and in the Greek diaspora communities in a number of other countries. Today, most Greeks are officially registered as members of the Greek Orthodox Church.Greeks have greatly influenced and contributed to culture, arts, exploration, literature, philosophy, politics, architecture, music, mathematics, science and technology, business, cuisine, and sports, both historically and contemporarily.

Sweet and Spicy Libations: Wine in the Ancient Near East
Andrew Koh, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies, Brandeis University, and Joseph A. Greene, Deputy Director and Curator, Harvard Semitic Museum.
In 2013, a team of archaeologists working in northern Israel unearthed the storage magazines of a Canaanite palace from 1700 BCE containing remnants of what is considered to be the oldest--and largest--ancient wine cellar in the Near East. Chemical analysis of the jars found at the site suggests the Canaanites drank a strong, sweet wine flavored with an exotic mix of honey, spices, and berries. Join archaeologist Andrew Koh and Phoenician specialist Joseph Greene as they discuss this discovery in the context of the social and cultural history of wine's emergence in the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world.

SUMMARY
=======
Apollo (Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek: Ἀπόλλων, Apollōn (GEN Ἀπόλλωνος) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in classical Greek and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. The national divinity of the Greeks, Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Seen as the most beautiful god and the ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo is considered to be the most Greek of all gods. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle.
Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius, yet Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague.
As an archer who never missed, Apollo carried a golden bow (silver bow, sometimes) and a quiver of golden arrows. As the inventor of archery and taught the same to the people. His arrows could inflict harm by causing sudden deaths or deadly plague.
As the leader of the Muses (Apollon Musegetes) and director of their choir, Apollo functions as the patron god of music and poetry. He is the inventor of string-music. The Cithara and the lyre are also his inventions. The lyre is a common attribute of Apollo. Hymns sung to Apollo were called paeans.
Apollo favors and delights in the foundation of towns and the establishment of civil constitution. Hence is associated with dominion over colonists. Additionally, he is the god of foreigners, the protector of fugitives and refugees.
Apollo is the giver and interpreter of laws. He presides over the divine law and custom along with Zeus, Demeter and Themis.
As the protector of young, Apollo (kourotrophos) is concerned with the health of children. He presides over their education and brings them out of their adolescence. Due to this belief, boys in Ancient Greece, upon reaching their adulthood, cut their hair and dedicated it to Apollo.
He is the patron of herdsmen and protector of herds and flocks. He is believed to cause abundance in the milk produced by cattle, and is also connected with their fertility.
Apollo is the god who affords help and wards off evil. He delivered men from the epidemics. Various epithets call him the averter of evil.
As an agricultural deity, Apollo protects the crops from diseases, especially the rust in corns and grains. He is also the controller and destroyer of pests that infect plants and plant harvests.
In Hellenistic times, especially during the 5th century BCE, as Apollo Helios he became identified among Greeks with Helios, Titan god of the sun. In Latin texts, however, there was no conflation of Apollo with Sol among the classical Latin poets until 1st century AD. Apollo and Helios/Sol remained separate beings in literary and mythological texts until the 5th century CE.
