    Draft: Golden Threads Copyright © Rossen, 2011 Tuesday, March 5, 2013 Golden Threads Preamble My Family in Greece John Augustus Toole Who can tell which Angel of Good Fortune must have smiled upon the young loyalist Irishman, John Augustus Toole, when he joined the British Navy as a midshipman and sailed out to the Mediterranean sometime in the first decade of the 19th Century? He was landed on the enchanted island of Zante where he met the great love of his life, the Contessina Barbara Querini. In this book I will tell the story of their love, the disapproval of Barbara’s family and how it came about that the young British officer prevailed. It was his good fortune and hers that resulted in my family on the Ionian Islands in Greece. My life, four generations later, was succoured in the cradle of luxury and privilege that he, his children and grandchildren had created. Before I tell you the story of my remarkable life on these islands, a story resonant with living memory and fondness for the people who touched my life, I will describe in this preamble the times, places and people who came before me: the tales told to me as a child. Most of Greece was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time of John Augustus Toole’s arrival. The seven Ionian Islands, located on the west coast of Greece, had escaped Ottoman occupation as part of the Venetian Empire. In 1796 Venice fell to the French under Napoléon Bonaparte. In 1809, British forces liberated the island of Zante and soon after Cephalonia, Kythria and Lefkada.

From this information management system there are proposed certain public works that are grouped in two categories, i.e. works that are needed for the entire Attica district and have a general character for the whole region (1 st category works) and then, works that are specifically needed for every particular and individual municipality (2 nd category works). The first category consists of: Collection and Treatment of the Used Water Works, and Reuse of at least a portion of the Treated Wastewater Works, and the second category consists of: Flood Protection through Stormwater Storage Works, Artificial Recharge of Groundwater Aquifers Works, 1 2 Dr.

    Strasbourg, 11 September 2020 T-PVS/Files(2020)5 [files05e_2020.docx] CONVENTION ON THE CONSERVATION OF EUROPEAN WILDLIFE AND NATURAL HABITATS Standing Committee 40th meeting Strasbourg, 1-4 December 2020 __________ Complaints on stand-by Presumed large-scale exploitation and marketing of protected marine shelled molluscs (Greece) - REPORT BY THE COMPLAINANT - Document prepared by the University of the Aegean This document will not be distributed at the meeting. Please bring this copy. Ce document ne sera plus distribué en réunion. Prière de vous munir de cet exemplaire. T-PVS/Files(2020)5 2 - August 2020 – The situation remains the same since our previous report. Nevertheless, instead of a report, I would like to submit a recently published paper by Italian colleagues (attached), which studied the illegal date mussel fishery in the Mediterranean, and highlighted that Greece is the 'champion' of poaching (see e.g. Fig. 6). I have to notice that my complaint, which dates back to 2014, has not led so far to any effective measures by Greece to confront the issue. The stated actions by the government remain ineffective (e.g. public awareness through an e-leaflet in the ministry's webpage with low outreach) or a 'wish list' (e.g. the enhancement of controls). Since the destructive date mussel fishery remains and the pressure on coastal ecosystems increases, I would like to ask you for more drastic actions and pressure on the Greek government. Sincerely, Prof. Stelios Katsanevakis, PhD University of the Aegean Department of Marine Sciences

    After revealing to the world that he was an A.I. consciousness in an artificial body, Tony Stark led an A.I. uprising alongside Machine Man. Tony’s adoptive brother, Arno Stark, took the opportunity to seize control of Stark Unlimited, including the Iron Man name. Arno has spent his life single- mindedly preparing to combat the eventual arrival of a cosmic force of extinction. His twisted goals led him to resurrect his deceased parents in new robotic bodies and attempt to enslave all of humanity, a plot that was foiled by Tony, seemingly at the cost of his digital life. However, with the help of his friends, both human and robotic, Tony was able to implant his digital consciousness into a new cloned body. Outfitted in updated holographic armor, Tony led his allies to Arno’s space station for a final confrontation. But their battle was interrupted by the arrival of a massive cosmic being threatening all human and robotic life…proving Arno was right all along!
