Greece (i/ɡriːs/ GREESS; Greek: Ελλάδα, Elláda [eˈlaða]), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: Ελληνική Δημοκρατία, Ellīnikī́ Dīmokratía [eliniˈci ðimokraˈti.a]) and known since ancient times as Hellas (/ˈhɛləs/; Greek: Ελλάς, Ellás), is a country located in southeastern Europe. According to the 2011 census, Greece's population is around 10.8 million. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki, which is commonly referred to as the co-capital.
Greece is strategically 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. Greece 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. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, 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 vast 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).
All these hand made metal bells, plates and arcs are played by a single nun, using hammers and pulling handles simultaneously to achieve polyrhythms. It's a Byzantine tradition that goes back to the 4th century. However, when the Greek mountains were occupied by the Turks, the nuns were forbidden to play their metallic instruments because it was associated with their Christian faith. So the sisters started playing their religious rhythms on a wood board with wooden hammers -- like the one on the far right in this vid. Use of the wooden board is now woven into their round the clock tradition even though the Turks are gone. It's a total Native American tip -- man, and when the wooden thumps rumble under their crystalline vocal drones, forget it. Mountain magic.

✱ 859 Hotels in Santorini - Lowest Price Guarantee ► http://goo.gl/Y5gqR7 The characteristic white-walled buildings of Santorini are standing upon each other in a happy disorder. The narrow alleys show us a new miracle at each turn. The top of our house is the other house’s balcony, from where there is a perfect view on the dark blue water of the Aegean Sea. The venetian blinds summon the color of the blue sky, the rows of cubic houses are sometimes broken by a blue-domed temple or a windmill. The balconies are full of geranium. The smell of gyros is in the air, from the cafes we hear the bouzouki, and the sight of the sunset from the taverns is unforgettable. The sun is scorching, one can smell the salty air and hear the seagulls, while down below the white boats sail towards their unkno...

SPEAKER : Peter Newman C. Julia Huang SYNOPSIS : Green urbanism is a way to describe settlements that are smart, secure and sustainable. They are smart in that they are able to adapt to the new technologies of the 21st century, secure in that they have built-in systems that enable them to respond to extreme events as well as being built to last, and sustainable in that they are part of the solution to the big questions of sustainability, such as climate change, peak oil, and biodiversity. This paper assesses Green Urbanism in terms of seven criteria: Renewable City, Carbon Neutral City, Biophillic City, Distributed City, Eco-Efficient City, Place-based City and Sustainable Transport City. Peter Newman is the Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University and was recently a Visiting ...
Cat 3/4 Race FAQ Q: What kind of bike do you have? A: 2011 Pinarello FP Quattro, and those are Shimano Ultegra shifters. Q: What camera/software do you use to make these videos? A: Gopro 2 camera, Garmin 500 to collect data, and software called Dashware to put it together. The icons and setup I use is custom but the program is fairly easy to learn so you can come up with your own. Q: Any advice for new cyclists to get into racing? A: Start by finding a group ride and learning how to ride around others, find out who races, ask them for advice. The big challenge at first is being comfortable in a pack and getting some basic fitness.
