Ta Matia Xmas 2001 www.goyanz.org.nz Issue No. 11 December 2001 GOYANZ CHRISTMAS PARADE FLOAT The Annual Wellington Christmas parade was held on November the 8th and GOYANZ was there with its first float in 18 years. The theme of the float was “Ancient Greek Gods” and of course we took the opportunity to showcase our Greek culture through the young children dressed in traditional costume. The GOYANZ float was voted in the top three floats during the parade by the parade organisers. Many thanks to Chrisanthi Kamberogiannis for putting the whole project together.

Some news since our last issue has been the successful participation of GOYANZ in the 03 February Palmerston North Greek Community Picnic Wellington Xmas parade with a spectacular float. I would like to congratulate (Horse Shoe Bend - Tokomaru) Chrisanthi for her efforts in organising the GOYANZ float and a thank you to all the others who helped in its preparation and to those who 03 February Hutt Valley Greek Community (Maidstone Park participated. - Upper Hutt) The GOYANZ AGM was held in November where a new committee was 24 February GOYANZ Picnic (Williams Park - Days Bay) elected. Our aim was to restructure the way GOYANZ operates with the election of a GOYANZ executive that oversees the operation of several 09 March Olympic Pre-Season Function sub-committees: Netball, Senior Soccer, Junior Soccer, Ta Matia and Youth Radio. This new format allows us to appoint new sub-committees as required 16-25 March Greek Week Festivities and hopefully dispel the public perception that GOYANZ is only interested in soccer. Another objective has been to include at least one GOYANZ 25 March Greek Independence Day executive on each sub-committee.

  • Dead Heroes and Living Saints: Orthodoxy
    Dead Heroes and Living Saints: Orthodoxy, Nationalism, and Militarism in Contemporary Russia and Cyprus By Victoria Fomina Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Vlad Naumescu Professor Dorit Geva CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 Budapest, Hungary Statement I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions and no materials previously written and / or published by any other person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Victoria Fomina Budapest, August 16, 2019 CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This dissertation explores commemorative practices in contemporary Russia and Cyprus focusing on the role heroic and martyrical images play in the recent surge of nationalist movements in Orthodox countries. It follows two cases of collective mobilization around martyr figures – the cult of the Russian soldier Evgenii Rodionov beheaded in Chechen captivity in 1996, and two Greek Cypriot protesters, Anastasios Isaak and Solomos Solomou, killed as a result of clashes between Greek and Turkish Cypriot protesters during a 1996 anti- occupation rally. Two decades after the tragic incidents, memorial events organized for Rodionov and Isaak and Solomou continue to attract thousands of people and only seem to grow in scale, turning their cults into a platform for the production and dissemination of competing visions of morality and social order. This dissertation shows how martyr figures are mobilized in Russia and Cyprus to articulate a conservative moral project built around nationalism, militarized patriotism, and Orthodox spirituality.

If their fortunes could not have differed more greatly from four years ago, something similar could be said for Spain. • Spain drew 1-1 with Greece in their second outing at UEFA EURO 2004™ before a 1-0 defeat by Portugal then sent them spinning out of the tournament. Luis Aragonés's team, by contrast, made sure of their quarter-final place with a game to spare on Saturday after a last-gasp victory against Sweden. • David Villa's 92nd-minute goal snatched three points against Sweden after Zlatan Ibrahimović (34) had cancelled out Fernando Torres' 15th-minute opener. Villa built on his opening-game exploits against Russia, scoring a hat-trick (20, 44, 75) before Cesc Fàbregas (90+1) registered his first international goal in a 4-1 triumph. • Spain went into the teams' UEFA EURO 2004™ meeting in Porto as favourites and took a 28th-minute lead through Fernando Morientes, but a 66th-minute Angelos Charisteas strike earned Greece a share of the spoils.

    December 1, 2010 Hi John- Here are the CD reviews for the Januaary 2011 issue. I'll be by your office later today to give you the CD covers for scanning. Sending file as back up. Talk soon, Perri Kiosk Wars: The Big Guns Battle for Minimarket Shelf Space Perri Pagonis [email protected] The music industry has gone through such dramatic changes in the past twenty years, that it’s hard to keep track of what’s happening with the record companies at any given moment. Vinyl records, although widely accepted by audiophiles as the most satisfying way to hear recorded music, is for collectors and DJs only. CDs are still the storage medium being most widely manufactured and distributed, however, they are becoming more technologically passé on a daily basis. Downloading digital music off of the Internet in MP3 and other forms is the current youth rage, but kids seem to download scads of stuff on a whim, often times an artist’s entire oeuvre in one fell swoop, and then forget to listen to it. The MySpace phenomenon on the web has made any band’s music, I mean any band’s music, from Micronesian punk rock goofball stuff to selected arias from monumental Italian opera stars, available to download into your computer’s hard disk in seconds. As the age of global stadium stars has dwindled down to a mere handful of selected acts: Rolling Stones, Madonna, U2, AC/DC, Metallica etc, so too has the Greek music scene splintered into a few revered giants and hordes of mewling newbies.

However, behind the recent success of the latest European Championship final round lurk many concerns thrown up by the famous Bosman ruling, which, at inter- national level, made it easier for players to move clubs and removed the limitations previously imposed by the national and international football authorities. One of the consequences of this explosion of transfers is that it has become more difficult in some countries for young players to work their way up to their club’s first team, a struggle which may make them turn their backs on football and take up another sport instead. Of course, a talented youngster always manages to make room for himself, but even he needs suitable training in order to develop and make the most of his skills. But training is expensive; it sometimes costs even more than talent scouting, and requires patience.
