Το φαινόμενο υποβιβασμού που σκεπάζει κάθε χρόνο το Αγρίνιο..

Γιατί κάθε χρόνο η ομάδα κινδυνεύει ? γιατί δε γίνονται στοχευμένες ποιοτικές μεταγραφές ? γιατί ο Παναιτωλικός διαθέτει πληθώρα ξένων παικτών κάτω του μετρίου ? γιατί δε γίνεται ξεκαθάρισμα στο ροστερ ? γιατί γίνονται πειράματα με ξένους προπονητές ? γιατί δε διατηρείται ένας βασικός κορμός ποιοτικών ποδοσφαιριστών και η ομάδα αλλάζει κατά 80% κάθε χρόνο ?

Συμπέρασμα:

Αν και φέτος ο κόσμος του Παναιτωλικού δε στεκόταν δίπλα στην ομάδα και δεν την είχε παρασύρει με τον ενθουσιασμό, την αγάπη και τη δυναμική του, τότε θα είχε πέσει κατηγορία. Επομένως ο κόσμος είναι το βασικό συστατικό και η διοίκηση πρέπει να εκμεταλλευτεί αυτή τη συσπείρωση του κόσμου προς όφελος της ομάδας.

Είναι αστείο να λέτε, “εγώ σας το έλεγα, ότι θα σωθεί η ομάδα”..μπορείτε να πάρετε συμβουλές από ανθρώπους που γνωρίζουν από ποδόσφαιρο, αν αγαπάτε την ομάδα, δεν είναι ντροπή.

Carl Bloch’s lost masterpiece Prometheus Unbound finds fame again in Athens

Work that made its creator a superstar then mysteriously disappeared is mesmerising art lovers once more

It was commissioned in 1864, by King George I of Greece, made its creator a superstar and in his native Denmark attracted crowds like no other painting before. Then it mysteriously disappeared.

Now, nearly nine decades after it was last seen gracing the stairwell of the royal palace that would become the Athens parliament, Carl Bloch’s masterpiece, Prometheus Unbound, has found fame again in Greece.

“Its appeal has been astounding,” said Nikolas Papadimitriou, the director of the Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Museum beneath the Acropolis. “People stand before it transfixed. They’re completely mesmerised.”

On public display for the first time in the country, the painting has for months been attracting visitors who are spurred as much by the prospect of seeing a long-lost cultural treasure as hunger, perhaps, for a glimpse of freedom’s victory over oppression.

The painting’s popularity has been such that plans are now afoot to exhibit it elsewhere in Greece before the culture ministry, which has declared the work a protected monument, puts it on permanent display at the newly restored palace of Tatoi, north of the capital, later this year.

“At the age of 87 I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it,” said Dimitris Mavrikas, a retired merchant who had travelled from Agrinio in central Greece to see the work. “For me it’s all about the battle of human existence, the battle we wage to survive from the moment we are born.”

In an increasingly insecure world, it was, he said, a battle freighted with significance. “Who can dispute the fact that people have always been fighting for their liberty?” he said. “I’d heard so much about this painting and it hasn’t let me down. It provokes awe.”

At four meters high and three meters wide, the magisterial piece depicts the moment Prometheus breaks free from the chains that have bound him to a rock, the punishment Zeus has bestowed on the titan for daring to gift mankind the power of fire.

Condemned to have his liver pecked by an eagle in perpetuity – with the king god ensuring the organ is constantly renewed for the bird to feast on – Bloch evokes the drama of Prometheus’s liberation after Heracles’ unexpected intervention. He looks on incredulously as his tormentor falls from his body.

Papadimitriou said the painting’s allure could also be attributed to “its sheer size, in a country where we’ve never had big buildings to hang such pieces”.

Schoolchildren have visited the museum to take in the floor-to-ceiling treasure “and the reaction was always the same”, he said. “They stood there in silence, in total amazement.”

Known for his depictions of mythological heroes, Bloch was commissioned in 1864 by the young Danish-born king George I, who had assumed Greece’s throne the year before. Ensconced in his studio in Rome as revolutionary fervour spread, the artist worked furiously to finish the painting. When it was first exhibited in Copenhagen in 1865, Prometheus Unbound was hailed as groundbreaking and an unprecedented success.

“It would be right to say that it would be difficult to find its equal anywhere since the very beginnings of Danish art,” one critic opined.

But, for many, the power of the painting also lies in its extraordinary history. Its chance rediscovery in 2012 not only ended decades of speculation but resolved a thriller that had long haunted the art world.

Culture ministry officials in Greece were stunned when they came across the canvas rolled up in a tube while recording thousands of objects amassed in Tatoi from estates that had once belonged to the nation’s deposed royal family.

Last seen publicly at an exhibition in Copenhagen in 1932, historians surmised it had either been lost as it was transported by ship back to Greece or had fallen victim to fire. That looters had failed to spot the treasure – the royal estates had been frequently targeted by thieves – only added to the astonishment.

“It needed work,” said Melina Fotopoulou, the Greek culture ministry conservationist who oversaw its restoration. “In places there was mould, cracks and colour detachment that required restoration and as it had been rolled up for so long in the cylinder, the canvas was quite loose.”

The painstaking conservation work was made harder because of the painting’s size. “It was impossible to restore mounted on a frame and so was laid out on the ground where we worked on it intensely,” Fotopoulou said, adding there had been “quite a bit of nervousness” before the masterpiece was rehung. “We weren’t at all sure what it would look like framed but of course it is so impressive; it’s wonderful.”

Agrinio in the region of Aetolokarnania. From Athens, you take the highway towards Patras and turn onto the new bridge called Rio Antirio towards Agrinio and Messolongi, the birthplace of my Grandmother, Sophia Drossopoulou Pappas. My grandfather immigrated to the US at Ellis Island in 1915. My grandmother, Sophia, arrived in 1920. They settled in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which is where I was born. My parents were both born in Winston-Salem, NC and I am the oldest of eight kids.”

I found that information on the Internet. I wasn’t surprised at all that he was the oldest of eight kids being the oldest child causes many people to grow up highly responsible.

At the Blackbird Association reunion a few weeks ago I walked past Terry and RSO John Manzi. I quickly turned around and said hello to the two gentlemen. It was my honor to talk to both of them briefly as I didn’t want to interrupt for too long, intense conversation that the old friends were having.

I’m sure that part of their bonding experience with each other happened during missions in the SR-71 together, one that could have been devastating was when Terry found himself temporarily blind!

Being blind and flying the SR 71 that goes 33 miles a minute calls for quick thinking.

On Aug 9 1987 in the 975, Terry and John left Kadena, Okinawa heading toward southeast Asia to their distant target area in the Persian golf. It was a long trip

Terry had to maintain his contact position with tankers for three hours and 30 minutes, there were problems with refueling with the boom.

What temporarily blinded him was the effects of pure oxygen and his face plate on his pressure suit overheated.

He could not read his instruments.

Flipping his face plate up was not an option because of the greater dangers of decompression and hypoxia. He overcame this serious problem by squinting HARD to produce TEARS that small bit of moisture retrieved his vision enough to continue the long mission back to Kadena at night flying nonstop for more than 11 hours.

Remember that the RSO in the backseat John Manzi does not have flight controls.

I’m sure this and many other missions bonded the two into a friendship that will last for a lifetime. Paul Crickmore‘s “Lockheed Blackbird Beyond the Secret Missions” page 239 if you want to read more about it~Linda Sheffield

Agrinio to Kefalonia

Breakfast was a bit fraught this morning. Rather than a buffet everyone ordered off a menu. There was only one waitress and long story short we waited 45 minutes for our breakfast.

In the end it wasn’t too bad, Jose and I with Chris and Sam, rolled out about 10 minutes behind everyone else. We zipped through town and then it was pretty flat and fast so it was a bit of a time trial for the first nearly 20km.

Then we hit the first of our two climbs - lots of yellow and some orange on the elevation 😩 I almost made it but the last sliver of orange defeated me. If it had been followed by a more forgiving gradient I would have been fine, but no 🙄 Anyway a short walk up around the corner and I was back on and finished the climb off.

Today’s ride was relatively short, 50km to Astakos, where after a coffee and a short wait we boarded the ferry to Kefalonia. The ferry took about 3 hours so we had a picnic lunch on board.

It was quite a nice ride following the coast around to our hotel and then the mother of all steep driveways that I didn’t even attempt. Two more big climbing days to go.

The plan had been to head to the famous Myrtos beach but unfortunately the weather was closing in so that idea got abandoned. Meanwhile our day of mini horrors continued with things breaking down back in L’Escala which we needed to deal with and our room for the next 4 nights being not exactly as advertised. Thankfully Sam intervened and we couldn’t be happier (in fact we feel a bit guilty).

Tonight we walked into Agia Efimia (the town where we are staying on Kefalonia) for dinner. It was a lovely night and after a lovely rainbow, the weather settled down for the evening. 🤞the weather holds tomorrow.
