24letters.

WEEKLY MAGAZINE PHOLITISM.

The word of the week from the 24letters: What does the last name mean? Karamanlis;

graphoy: George Damianos and Kamal Rahimi (for Turkish and Farsi language research)

Presentation in a few words: Nowadays there are no Greek Karamanlis, nor their writing. Chalk on a blackboard, which was erased by the sponge of time, it would be their case, if there were no surnames: Karamanos, Karamanlakis, Karamanoglou, Karamanlis et al. The case of the Karamanlids from the Cappadocia it stands as a thorn in our memory and asks us small and difficult questions that demand an answer, such as:
“You can be Greek, without speaking Greek;”
"What is the role of the Church in the preservation of the Nation;” and many more. Before you rush to answer, let's get to know the case of the Karamanlids better from the Caramania.

Where is the Caramania;
THE Caramania is a region of Southeastern M. Asia and includes parts of it Lycaonia, of Great Phrygia Pamphylia, Isauria, Cappadocia, Cilicia. It was named after him Karaman Bey / Mehmet Bey Karamanoglu (Mohammed B We are working Say it), o who founded the emirate, around, στα 1256. (www.24Grams.com)
The word Karaman (or Kahraman) means "the hero", "the first boy", and is common in Turkish, in Persian (Farsi), and in Armenian, as well as in all regions that have the Farsi variants such as: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the area Punjab of India. In Persian historical texts, the word "Karaman” or “Hero” is written as “Hero” (the "Q” pronounced “C”)
The name Karamanli identifies the person or family that comes from Karaman (the Turkish ending "-li» indicates movement from place, B.C. Ankarali : from Ankara).

Who were the Greek Karamanlids?; www.24Grams.com

With the term Karamanlis and, more commonly, in the plural: Karamanlides, its Greek residents are identified Karamania, which had a universal specificity: We are used to calling her, Orthodox Christians, they spoke Turkish and wrote the Turkish language with Greek letters (Karamanliki writing). Even though they were under a lot of pressure to convert to Islam, the Greek language was banned, Turkish was imposed, but with stubbornness and self-denial they remained Orthodox Christians, although they lost the Greek language.

What is the relationship between chaos, the throttle, and the gazosa;

24letters.

Online magazine for Closs, her Ιstory and him Pholism.

The word of the week from the 24letters: What is the relationship between chaos, the throttle, and the gazosa;

Presentation in a few words: The word gas is derived from the ancient Greek word Chaos. Strangeness; Not so much, just follow the simple lessons of mythology: According to Hesiod , chaos is defined as the primary principle, but not as an abstract concept but as a dark space full of clouds. On the contrary, the Orphic cosmogony admits chaos as the second principle of the world after Time. Plato states that Eros was born from Chaos (spit on his father, this Love). 24letters

That's all good, someone would say. But, what do they have to do with gas?;

Until the 1640 absolutely none. That year, a genius Flemish "chemist", Van Helmond (Johann Batista Helmont, 1577- 1644) succeeded in making a combustible mixture of gases (carbon monoxide and CO, CO2, the free gas, gas sylvestre). Except that, still, he didn't know what to call it. It was borrowed, Well, the Greek word chaos, to denote the amorphous and undefined mass of the gas (gas), because that's how he imagined chaos to be (χάος >caos > gaos > gas) . Στη συνέχεια παρήχθησαν όλες οι λέξεις που αναφέρονται στο αέριο > γκαζ, primus, gas bottle, soda but also carbonated drinks such as soda (24letters).

Now, how from gas (gas) we were driven to the gas of the car (I'm gasping, gassy, the throttle, the throttles); That's why gas stoves are responsible (gas-producing) cars we had in our country, during the German occupation (they were burning gas, due to lack of oil). So, giving gas to the engine was equivalent to giving fuel to the engine to accelerate.

Hesiod, theogony,116.

Plato, Symposium 178. Report of l. chaos as nebulous gas is also done in the : Aristophanes (Chickens, 192, 1218), Virgil (Ecloghe,VI,31), Ovid (Metamorphosis), but also in the Gospel according to Luke ( 16, 26).

J. B. Van Helmont, The rise of medicine, Amsterdam 1652. On the pages 59, 86 assumes the authorship of the term and admits the relationship with l. Chaos. The text is in Latin : that breath, I called the gas, not far from the chaos of the old secret.

Read on 24letters about the strange history of the word chaos, as well as the relevant bibliography (George Damianos).

Currency

The National Archaeological Museum together with the Numismatic and Alpha Bank will each present the "Coin and Myth" exhibition at its base. Vertebrate exhibition which in the first museum of the country will illuminate in the spring the representations of myths and deities on coins and with the help of other objects, while in Ilio Melathron, the base of the Numismatic Museum, the public will learn about the rulers depicted on the coins, the gods and patrons or founders of cities.

The great exhibition of the National Archaeological Museum, in any case, will be the treasure of Antikythera. The focus is on the famous computer - astronomical instrument which measured the orbits of the planets, which will be framed with other exhibits from the same cargo. Sculptures that were recovered from the sea, such as the Adolescent of Antikythera and others, which we now find in the atrium of the museum, but also glass objects and other vessels. Together for the first time everyday utensils used by the ship's crew will be exhibited.

In between, Myrtis, the 11-year-old girl of the orthodontist-researcher Mr. Papagrigorakis, which brought hundreds of visitors to the Archaeological Museum of Athens, will travel to the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki before starting a new cycle in other cities of the country.

In September, the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki participates with the rest of the "network of five" in the exhibition "Old Intersections – making new' emphasizing the Arab and Jewish world, through archaeological, photographic and visual routes. However, the great moment of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki is its collaboration with the Louvre for the organization of the exhibition dedicated to Alexander the Great and inaugurated on 3/10. Includes 680 exhibits of which the 220 they also come from other Macedonian museums.

"From Hercules to Alexander the Great. The legend of the Macedonians, a Greek kingdom during the years of the Republic – Treasures from the Goats, the royal metropolis of the Macedonians" is another foreign event in which we participate, sending to the Asmolean in Oxford - Europe's oldest public museum- finds from the city of Aige.

The Epigraph, with new director Maria Englezou, has also designed an exhibition for which the students of the University of Athens will work voluntarily, while the Byzantine Museum also has a newly appointed director, the experienced Eugenia Halkia, will continue with the exhibition “From the earth to the sky: works of art from semi-precious stones and corals from the collection of the Passas Foundation", but also three more exhibitions: "Aspects of the 'Spiritual', the Investment Bank collection and the tribute to Per Kirkeby.

This time, having the Austrian chief musician Franz Welser on the podium – Had to, who will conduct the New Year's Concert for the first time. Naturally, the light program does not change: Viennese waltzes, polka dots, journeys – especially for this year, Franz Liszt's "Mephisto Waltz" will be included, tribute to the Hungarian composer, as next year marks two hundred years since his birth.

This musical event was first established in dark times. The maiden concert was given on 31 of December 1939, with conductor Clemens Krauss. Throughout the war it was strictly local in character and served as a reminder of the good old days while expressing an optimism for the future.

Only Strauss

The program of the first concert included only works by Johann Strauss Jr, while there was no "biz" (performances outside the official program). "Blue Danube" was performed for the first time in 1945, as "biz", while the "Radetski" pitch 1946, also as "biz". Until 1958, these two compositions were often played, but not always. Since that year, however, they have been established as two inseparable "bizs" – with two exceptions: the 1967 Willy Boskowski performed "The Blue Danube" as part of the official program, while on January 1 of 2005 Lorin Maazel did not perform the festive "Radetski" out of respect for the victims of the Indonesian tsunami.

Museum hours are on trial

Lack of staff

Museums and archaeological sites operate during this period with winter hours, that is, until 3 afternoon. But no one from’ to those who are responsible for their operation cannot be promised with certainty that the summer hours will operate smoothly. The large state museums of the country are affected by the wave of retirements. And, of course, from the non-renewal of contracts. "At this moment they were calling us to implement the summer schedule, we would not be able to respond", they say with sincerity and desperation.

In life one must be useful

In life one must be useful

Stefanos Linaios and Elli Fotiou, with forty years of theatrical career, return to the stage with one of their greatest hits

Interview with Iulis Eptakoilis

They are a rare couple. Together, fifty years in life and forty in the theater. With common aesthetics, goals and opinions. With unquenchable passion that overflows on stage, with that unique sense of debt that dictates you to constantly give something, The, what can you, and take a stand, regardless of cost. Unpretentiously simple and measured, righteous, sincere, real ones, fighters, with an excess of love for life, for the theater, for people.

This year, Stefanos Linaios and Elli Fotiou decided to re-stage one of their big hits at the Alpha Theater, the, unfortunately, ever-present work by Dario Fo “I do not pay… I don't pay…», giving us the occasion for an ep’ discussion of all matters with two people who have left a bright mark on the life and art of the place.

– How have you managed to stay together fifty years in life and forty in the theater?; What thread binds you?;

Elli Fotiou: Stefanos and I are completely different characters. She is enthusiastic and outgoing, I am grounded and low-key. This opposition has brought us many times into conflict, but i love him very much. I have always loved him and I know that, what he does is out of his love? and the desire to fix the world, γι’ this sometimes seems mean to others.

Stefanos Linaios: I don't want to fix the world. I just learned from my family from a young age that one should be useful in life. Both as a person and as a professional. Especially the spiritual man is not the office man, but the one who leans, is listened to, talks to the world. Some standards, from singers and footballers to politicians must also be role models in their private lives. Otherwise you create a despair p’ those who follow you. I have felt it with people I admired and when I met them in person I was disappointed. Because the majority of people are shaped by what they see, and, unfortunately, a very small percentage is formed with the substance, with what he reads.

– The fact that the theater space, of the show in general, he is competitive and with large doses of ambition, it makes a relationship even more difficult;

Ε. F.: Some say that two people who do the same profession cannot coexist. I don't believe it. We have the same quests, the same purposes, the same timetables and it is very natural to proceed along the same drawn line. All this, sure, they apply if you have found the right person. I found him. And I must confess that Stefanos helped me a lot both in life and in the theater. When I met him I was a child, completely inexperienced.

St. L.: I pass Elli 12 years. I wanted a man to walk with. My role model was Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. In two – three girls I had met, unfortunately, the outside had nothing to do with the inside! Until at some point a little girl comes 18 years, Elli, on the steps of the Moussouri theater and that was it: I was amused as soon as I saw it. Simply because I immediately understood that I could not play with Elli, I trained her until I was sure she was my man.
