There's a sea blue that looks only possible through Photoshop or an Instagram filter, but which is true around the islands of the Dodecanese'. He made this observation, and signs it, with all the weight of her own opinion, the well-known correspondent of the newspaper 'Guardian', Hannah Jane Parkinson, on her trek to the islands of the Southeast Aegean, which was published on 23 April.   In her extensive reporting, the British correspondent sings the praises of the islands of the region and even the smaller ones, like Kalymnos, Leros, Telendos and Lipsi, who enchanted her with the unpretentious simplicity and unparalleled beauty of unpopular tourist destinations.   Listing one by one the attractions of these islands, offering detailed access details’ these, Parkinson's makes an indirect one, but eloquent in praise and admiration, advertisement for the beauty of those places. She declares herself 'enchanted'’ of everything, but she expresses her special preference for Leros and its contrasts (where) architecture and history are deliciously intertwined', as he emphatically emphasizes.   The same correspondent expresses herself in a reassuring manner to her readers regarding any fears that may arise from the refugee situation, stressing that most islands were little or not affected by the crisis.

In a car what is it that takes up little space on the hood or steering wheel and yet means a lot to its owner; A symbol! Famous car brands that you don't need to know their name" because its sign alone is characteristic. But what is hidden behind each brand and its emblem; A man, a bow tie, a helix, an animal, a zodiac sign, an acronym, a translation, a coat of arms are some of the answers. Let's travel into the minds of the founders of the biggest car companies.   ALFA ROMEO   1910, Milan, Italy: A group of Milanese entrepreneurs founds the Lombardy Automobile Industry Anonymous (Anonima Lombarda Automobile Factory). Hence the abbreviation ALFA. A few years later, the Milanese businessman Nicolas Romeo buys a share in the company and the company takes the name by which it is known to this day as Alfa-Romeo. About the Alfa-Romeo brand, the red cross has a triple symbolism: is a symbol of Milan, it refers to the Crusades and finally it is the most widespread Christian symbol. Representatives of the company do not want to discuss the importance of the second half of the brand, which depicts a snake eating a young man, symbolizing the defeat of the Crusaders.   AUDI   1909, Tsvikau, Germany: The surname of the founder of AUDI, August Horsch, in Latin it translates as “Audi” meaning "to hear". In the emblem each of the circles symbolizes the merger of the four oldest car manufacturers of Germany's Auto Union (Αudi, DKW, Hark, Wanderer). Similarity to Olympic emblem prompts Olympic Committee to sue AUDI for trademark infringement, although as it turns out the Commission lost.   BMW   More at the source…
