3,500 years after the legendary Argo, which according to myth carried Jason and the Argonauts on their heroic quest for the Golden Fleece in Colchis, an exact relpica of the historic trireme sets sail from Volos on a 60 day trip to Venice.

The modern-day Argo, with 50 oarsmen aboard, is a reconstruction of an ancient Greek penteconter with a ram and a simple sail and belongs to the same family as Homer’s long ships. The present-day Argo is expected to travel between 10 and 15 nautical miles a day until it reaches its final destination in Venice on August 12, stopping at 37 ports on the way. During this trip, it will raise six flags, equal to the number of countries whose waters will traverse. These include Greece, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy, where oarsmen will carry the message of peace and friendship. The expedition is part of the Cultural Olympics and to promote the Mediterranean Games which will be held in Volos and Larissa in 2013.

Three «thunderous» NO, in three years…First the French, next the Dutch and now bad luck comes in threes for the European Union which is sinking once again in the vicious cycle of introversion. Brussels is watching the developments pass them by without being able to react… After the Irish blow to the Lisbon Treaty, Friday, 13th of June 2008 will remain in history as the day that brought bad lack to the coherence of the European Union, And now what?  Among the likely scenarios:   - Ireland to have a new referendum- The Treaty of Lisbon would be announced «dead». - An opt out option for Ireland, which will not participate in certain sectors of  European policy.  - What seems quite unlikely, at least for now, is a new tour of negotiations that will lead to a new treaty.  Against «Europe of bosses», the prospect of abortions’ legalisation and the loss of precious Irish neutrality, Irish decided to crush irreparably European’s Union prestige. Many political analysts keep a critical attitude towards Ireland which seems to have forgotten the benefits of the European integration and what the country looked like, before receiving the European funding.  The treaty of Lisbon, if ratified, would introduce a right of initiative for EU citizens, by enabling them to put proposals to the Commission,  that would step up their participation in the EU decision-making process. For example, the binding nature of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights offers greater certainty that citizens’ rights will be fully respected, because any action taken by the EU institutions would have to pass this test.
 
What will follow? Should the European leaders give up or step up their efforts and at the same time being prepared for more “No’s”? No matter what the future will bring, current results provoke suspiciousness in E.E environment and make the multi-speed Europe seem like an utopia… 

When you reach 90 years old, what would you like to do with your life? Sorry, I mean the rest of your life!  Having a vacation? What kind of vacation – as it must be comfortable and suits your age! Would you like to read – that if you still can see letters! Would you go for outdoor activities – that, if you can walk adequately to reach your friends.! Would you like to get married – Oh my Gosh! That, if you still can…. In general, you must be careful, selective and modest choosing what suits you.

What if you are 92-year-old man and attracted to a 17 year-old “child” or “teenager” - that in case you could have seen her - whatever…. Is it normal? Would we say that you still have brains? You might have lost your mind due to many mental diseases affecting you, normally, at that age, BUT, did the girl’s family have lost either their minds to “resolve” and not “dissolve” such marriage!!!!!!

Here is the story….

« La jeunesse tunisienne est la base l’édification de la république de demain ». De cette conviction, la Tunisie a proclamé l’année 2008, année de dialogue avec les jeunes. Des tribunes de dialogue sont organisées presque chaque semaine avec la présence d’un bon nombre de jeunes. Une opportunité pour échanger les avis et exposer les problèmes à résoudre…Un site est aussi mis à leur disposition. Il s’agit du www.pactejeunesse.tn

Au milieu de cette année de dialogue global, des actes de violences ont été commis la semaine dernière dans le gouvernorat de Gafsa dans le sud Tunisien. Un bon nombre de tués et blessés ont été signalé après ces évènements …

La vraie présence d’un dialogue devrait constituer une renonciation à l’agressivité et non pas à sa naissance…
