The world: Europe faces an uncertain future

Connecting to the source…
For the first time in ten years, all the countries of the European Union have to demonstrate economic growth again. But the climate in Europe is foggy. The risks are great, especially for the German economy, the newspaper Die Welt reports in its article. The European Commission speaks of "troubled waters" in relation to the economic situation in Europe. The continent is heading towards an uncertain future economically. The Commission did not choose this expression as the title of the winter forecast for the European economy by chance, as the conservative German newspaper notes. Because the risks, despite the positive forecasts, they prevail: US President Donald Trump has stated that he will put more emphasis on American interests. In Europe, populists from the right and the left are seizing power. There is talk again about the exit of Greece from the Eurozone. The British want to leave the European Union. In two words, there are enormous risks for the development of the European economy. Y’ this begs the question of what foundation European economic development can be based on.Continue at source ...

The curator of the exhibition, Louiza Karapidakis, notes about it: "Marios Camhi's iconography is characterized by a peculiar expressiveness with amazing detailed references, which absorbs the viewer's gaze and urges him to a second reading. Everything is fantastic but everything seems experienced and familiar. In his curated design illustrations, he tends to express himself more with the juxtaposition of black and white volumes and gives a decisive but complementary role to color. The multiple pictorial thematic associations with the skillful gradations of proportions, from the small human scale to monumental building dimensions, they convey a special dynamic to his painting. They give an excellent plastic effect, also, in his works the polygonal ends and gaps he creates by removing entire parts from the surface of the work. camchis3 camchis2 M’ these inventive visual interventions his painting compositions acquire a sculpted and extraordinary three-dimensional form, with an obvious sense of depth, attributing a completely original aesthetic to his unique artistic identity".

Love is a matter of chemistry

Φενιλεθιλαμίνη, ντοπαμίνη, σεροτονίνη: τι σχέση έχουν αυτά τα ονόματα με τον έρωτα; Πρόκειται για ορμόνες που επιδρούν στην ερωτική διάθεση. Και επιβεβαιώνουν τη ρήση ότι ο έρωτας είναι θέμα χημείας. Ο έρωτας είναι ωραίος. Οι ορμόνες όμως είναι καλύτερες. Όταν είναι κανείς ερωτευμένος αισθάνεται πως αιωρείται στον έβδομο ουρανό ή ότι βλέπει τον κόσμο μέσα από ένα πολύχρωμο καλειδοσκόπιο. Στο σώμα του όμως επιδρά ένα σύστημα ορμονών που έχει κάθε άλλο παρά ρομαντικά ονόματα. Ο τρόπος με τον οποίο λειτουργεί αυτό το σύστημα δεν είναι απολύτως σαφής. Κι αυτό επειδή οι περισσότερες από αυτές τις ορμόνες σχηματίζονται στον εγκέφαλο, απ’ όπου δεν μπορεί κανείς να λάβει δείγμα αίματος για να κάνει μετρήσεις. Το βασικό μέσο πρόσβασης σε αυτές τις ουσίες είναι οι τομογραφίες, οι οποίες καταγράφουν τις δραστηριότητες σε κάποια τμήματα του εγκεφάλου. Παρόλα αυτά οι επιστήμονες ήδη γνωρίζουν ορισμένα πράγματα για το χημικό «κοκτέιλ» του έρωτα. «Δεν πρέπει να εξετάζουμε τις ορμόνες μεμονωμένα» εξηγεί ο Χέλμουτ Σατς από τη Γερμανική Εταιρεία Ενδοκρινολογίας. «Ο έρωτας έχει άμεση σχέση με την ψυχολογία. Κι επίσης με το νευρικό σύστημα».Continue at source ...
