Watch out for high-calorie salads, such as those with deep-fried shells or those topped with breaded chicken or other fried toppings. Also skip salad extras, such as cheese and croutons, which quickly increase the calorie count.   Need practical advice on diet and exercise?

"Επανεκκίνηση της ζωής & της οικονομίας":ΑγροΝέα

Επανεκκίνηση της ζωής & της οικονομίας

45 ημέρες σε «ΜΕΝΟΥΜΕ ΣΠΙΤΙ» με πολλούς τομείς της οικονομίας στην «κατάψυξη», φαίνεται ότι κρατήθηκε η πανδημία του κοροναϊού σε επίπεδα που μπορούσε να αντιμετωπίσει το Εθνικό Σύστημα Υγείας της Ελλάδος, ενώ έγιναν συντονισμένες προσπάθειες για τον εστιασμό στις Μονάδες Εντατικής Θεραπείας.

Και τώρα οι περισσότερες συζητήσεις γίνονται για την επανεκκίνηση της οικονομίας. Πρέπει να επιλεγεί το εφαρμόσιμο μοντέλο επενδύσεων στην οικονομία για να αναστραφεί η ύφεση του 2020 και να ξεκινήσει σύντομα η ανάπτυξη στο 2021.

ΔΗΛΩΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΑΓΩΝΙΣΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑΣ ΣΤΑΘΗ ΠΑΝΑΓΟΥΛΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ 53Η ΜΑΥΡΗ ΕΠΕΤΕΙΟ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΔΙΚΤΑΤΟΡΙΑ ΤΗΣ 21ΗΣ ΑΠΡΙΛΙΟΥ 1967

Αθήνα, 21/04/2020

ΔΗΛΩΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΑΓΩΝΙΣΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑΣ ΣΤΑΘΗ ΠΑΝΑΓΟΥΛΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ 53^Η ΜΑΥΡΗ ΕΠΕΤΕΙΟ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΔΙΚΤΑΤΟΡΙΑ ΤΗΣ 21^ΗΣ ΑΠΡΙΛΙΟΥ 1967

Παρά τις  δύσκολες στιγμές που περνάει σήμερα η χώρα μας, δεν πρέπει να ξεχνάμε  ότι την 21η Απρίλη του 1967, μια μικρή ομάδα επιόρκων αξιωματικών κατέλυσαν ΠΡΑΞΙΚΟΠΗΜΑΤΙΚΑ την Κοινοβουλευτική Δημοκρατία. Μορφές φωτεινές  που ΕΠΙΒΑΛΛΕΤΑΙ να ΜΗΝ ΛΗΣΜΟΝΗΘΟΥΝ ΠΟΤΕ, είναι όλοι εκείνοι που δολοφονήθηκαν, βασανίστηκαν, φυλακίστηκαν και εξορίστηκαν από το τυραννικό καθεστώς για να επανέλθει η ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ στην Ελλάδα. 

ΒΑRACK OBAMA..update

Hi there, For the past several weeks, we’ve been sharing uplifting stories we’ve seen from around the world to help reveal some of the ways people have been supporting their neighbors and lifting up their communities. Today, I wanted to share more stories of inspiring leadership, but I also wanted to provide a more detailed look at the Foundation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our first concern remains our top concern—ensuring the safety of our staff and program participants. We have been working from home since mid-March and have postponed and cancelled several events and programs that require in-person gatherings as we devise new ways to host them digitally. But the goals of this Foundation—connecting and strengthening communities, empowering leaders, and inspiring hope through storytelling—are as vital in this time of crisis as ever. And despite the challenges this pandemic presents, we are finding new ways to fulfill our mission. Here in our community of Chicago, our leadership team sent meals to volunteers at the Southside Center for Hope, one of the longest running women's shelters on Chicago's South Side located in Woodlawn. The facility usually houses 30 women with their families, but due to COVID-19, the Center for Hope has taken in significantly more families, and we wanted to do our part to help them respond to the increased need. And even in this environment, our plans to build the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago continue to progress, and we look forward to the new gardens, paths, and play areas—as well as new jobs and investment—the Center will bring to our neighbors. To support our leaders, we’ve hosted virtual speaker trainings, webinars, and calls to help offer relevant expertise, while connecting people battling the outbreak on the frontlines to share best practices. President Obama has been a recurring and reassuring presence on several of these online gatherings. He’s connected with supporters in Chicago to thank them for their resilience during this time, as well as with leaders at home and abroad to encourage them as they grapple with the effects of COVID-19 in their own communities. Because we know that this crisis is tragically hitting communities of color hardest, the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance is hosting a series of online town halls focused on the specific needs of organizations and institutions that serve boys and young men of color in the face of COVID-19. Finally, we continue to share stories of hope we’re hearing from around the world. This week, I wanted to share the work of one of our Scholars, Christian Vanizette. Christian Vanizette is the co-founder of makesense, a platform that links volunteers with social entrepreneurs to tackle global challenges. When COVID-19 began to spread, the entire focus of his organization shifted to virtual community organizing to quickly share best practices around COVID-19 response to communities across the world. Watch his story—and be sure to submit the stories that are inspiring you. Stay healthy, stay hopeful, —David View the highly-rated charities working in communities affected by the outbreak.

Έννοια και  καταγωγή του όρου

‘Σύνδρομο της Στοκχόλμης’ αποκαλείται το ψυχοπαθολογικό φαινόμενο κατά το οποίο όμηροι εκφράζουν συμπάθεια, θετικά συναισθήματα αγάπης ακόμα και έρωτα προς τους απαγωγείς, τους ‘προστάτες’, τους δεσμώτες τους. Ο όρος προήλθε από την ληστεία που έγινε σε υποκατάστημα της τράπεζας KREDITBANKEN στο Νόρμαλμστοργκ, στην Στοκχόλμη της Σουηδίας, τον Αύγουστο του 1973, όπου δύο ένοπλοι άνδρες ο Γιαν-Έρικ Όλσσον και ο Κλαρκ Όλοφσον εισέβαλαν και έπιασαν και κράτησαν ομήρους, για έξι μέρες 4 υπαλλήλους της τράπεζας, την Ελίζαμπετ Όλντγκρεν, την Κρίστιν Ένμαρκ, την Μπιργκίτα Λούντμπλαντ και τον Σβεν Σάφστρομ. Μετά τη σύλληψη των δραστών, οι όμηροι προσπάθησαν να συλλέξουν χρήματα, για να ενισχύσουν οικονομικά τον δικαστικό αγώνα των απαγωγέων τους και αρνήθηκαν μάλιστα να καταθέσουν εναντίον τους. Η Kristin Ehnemark, μάλιστα  έγινε φίλη του Clark Olofsson. Τα κύρια συμπτώματα του ‘Συνδρόμου της Στοκχόλμης’ είναι:
