German Optics Company to Buy Greek Island for Customers
A well-known German eyewear company has challenged its customers to buy 420,000 frames and, in exchange, it will buy a Greek island for them. Libuda Optic World, based in Villingen-Schwenningen in southern Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, which is specialized in manufacturing and selling glasses, has shown interest to buy the Greek island of Agios Athanasios, located in the Corinthian Gulf, as part of its incentives program for top customers. It should be noted that the specific island was also rumored to be sold in 2009 for a sum of 1.5 million euros. A company spokesman stated that in previous similar programs it has offered flights to space and that the latest one is based on the German people’s desire to spend their vacations in Greece. The island’s cost is estimated at 1.5 to 1.6 million euros and Libuda Optic World added that it will also purchase Agios Athanasios for its customers if they buy just 155,000 frames and contribute another 1 million euros to the deal.

Greek Presidential Candidate: I Will Not Accept Being Elected With Golden Dawn Votes
Greek Presidential candidate Stavros Dimas ruled out the scenario of being elected as the next President with the votes of neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn. “As I respect the democratic institutions, I will not accept being elected President of the Republic with Golden Dawn votes,” Dimas underlined, commenting on the ongoing speculation that the xenophobic party’s MPs could vote for him. Nevertheless, Greece’s Administrative Reform Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Parliament Third Vice President Christos Markogiannakis appeared to be in line with Dimas, dismissing the scenarios that want ruling New Democracy to be accepting Golden Dawn’s support. Commenting on the scenarios regarding a possible effect Golden Dawn MPs’ votes could have on the result of the third ballot for the election of a new Greek President, Mitsotakis told Greek television: “Don’t even think about it. There will be New Democracy MPs who will not vote for a President if Golden Dawn says ‘yes’… I refuse to join forces with Golden Dawn for the President’s election. My vote will not contribute to the legitimization of Golden Dawn through the Presidential election. I will vote ‘present’; and I believe I will not be the only one to do so.” Markogiannakis said that “we do not accept support from a criminal organization.”

The Simple, Pathetic Reason Why UK Economic Growth Lags America
Yesterday, the UK and the US both reported new numbers for economic growth. In the UK, Q3 GDP was adjusted down to 2.6%. Across the pond, growth was a massive 5%. The pace of growth in America is roughly twice that of Britain, in other words. This is surprising, because the two countries have similar economies and governments with similar fiscal policies. They share the same language (duh) and, frequently, large international companies have sizable numbers of employees in both countries. So why is Britain faring so much worse in the recovery? The answer is jobs and investment. America does much better on both factors: It has stronger public and private investment either coming in, or staying in the country. And it has better, higher paid jobs that are more productive — making those investments pay off. To put that in cartoonish anecdotal terms: America is now a nation of highly paid software developers. The British, meanwhile, are selling pies at Greggs for minimum wage. (Greggs is the archetypal cheap sandwich shop found in every British high street, for those of you reading this outside the UK.) It's tempting to think that the UK's growth problem is due to the fact that it's currently parked in a bad neighbourhood. Britain won't be seeing any positive knock-on effects from economic growth in Greece, Italy or Spain for a while. Russia basically just collapsed and will be in recession for the next two years, economist believe. External demand for our exports is crimped. The US, by contrast, is so big it is its own neighbourhood, so it isn't affected as much by a downturn in Portugal. But this isn't the main difference. Because Britain is doing so much better than its neighbours it ought to attract investment. But as a note to investors from Investec Economics yesterday points out, investment is actually leaving the country on a net basis: The main story was once again the weakness of the balance of investment income, which hit a new record low of -£12.4bn (minus £12.4bn). Of particular note was that the UK recorded a deficit of £1.7bn on income from direct investment during the quarter, only the second time in 17 years that this has occurred. This represents payback time for the number of years of consistent current account deficits which have resulted in a worsening in the UK’s net international investment position. This is estimated to have been in surplus in mid-1995 but is now reckoned to be in deficit to some £451bn, or 25% of GDP. At the same time, the jobs that are being created in the UK are low-wage jobs (think cafes and pubs and, yes, Greggs). Those types of jobs have a lower return on investment than high-paid, high-skilled jobs (think app developers and drug researchers). Here's the Bank of England's most recent job creation chart. Note that the biggest growth in jobs is in the low-skilled sector: In fact, in the UK, wages aren't even keeping pace with inflation. The general direction of this chart (below) tells you all you need to know, but the phenomenon you should care about is the fact that earnings of all workers in the UK have shrunk to below 90% of what they were in 2008, and that the wages of low and medium-skilled workers have taken the biggest hit of all: In the US, wages have beaten inflation recently (even if only marginally), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The investment picture in the US couldn't look more different. Here were the contributing factors to GDP growth there, according to the US Commerce Department: Personal consumption spending Nonresidential fixed investment Federal, state and local government spending Exports Residential fixed investment Of those factors, three are forms of investment. (Conservatives ought to note that government spending is driving the US economy quite nicely. This crimps their argument that the UK's anaemic growth is the fault of the NHS — both countries have large-spending state sectors.) Now, here is what investment looks like in the UK. It's the light blue section of the column — notice how it basically collapsed in Q3: That's the difference between the US and the UK in terms of growth. Both are growing, but the UK is hobbled by low wages and lousy investment levels. It's tempting to conclude that low wages are reducing investment simply because low-wage jobs are so much less productive than high-wage/high skill jobs. In the US, the investment picture is much rosier: private investment and government spending appears to be boosting the economy at double the pace of the UK.Join the conversation about this story »

Modern Bethlehem Is Not The Idyllic Nativity Village It Once Was
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — It's Christmas season and the little town of Bethlehem is jammed with a big-city problem: Traffic snarling streets everywhere, including around the church marking the spot where tradition says Jesus was born. The city is considering a dramatic solution to the problem — digging a tunnel under Manger Square. Traffic is a mess year-round. It may be the biblical town of grottos and shepherds' fields in the minds of many around the world, but Bethlehem is a modern densely populated town of 28,000 with a dizzying weave of small streets that practically guarantee traffic jams. "Bethlehem is going through a crisis," said Anton Salman, a city councilor. "We think that the solution to this traffic is to build an underground passage between the two sides of the square." Bethlehem's municipality hopes to eventually build several tunnels around the Palestinian city, where the urban development problems are myriad. Bethlehem is sandwiched on three sides by other towns. From the north and southeast, it is hemmed in by Israel's separation barrier and Jewish settlements, leaving it little choice but to build vertically. It is also a main transit point for drivers between the northern and southern parts of the West Bank, compounding its congestion. The area around the Nativity Church, built atop the site where Christians believe Jesus was born, is particularly busy, with a mix of tourists swarming the area and cars squeezing across the central Manger Square. Streets all around face a constant backlog because of traffic in the square, where beeping horns are heard as much as clanging church bells. Even worse, during the holidays, the square is closed for annual events like the Christmas tree lighting and Christmas Eve celebrations, when it is thronged with revelers. That plunges traffic nearby deeper into chaos. The plan proposes an 80-meter-long (260-foot long) tunnel passing under a narrow two-lane street that crosses Manger Square in front of the Nativity Church. The project would take about two years to complete and would cost $4 million to $5 million, with the Palestinian Authority pledging to foot the bill. If the plan is approved, construction could start next fall. With the tunnel ensuring the flow of traffic, Manger Square would be closed to cars entirely under the plan and turned into a pedestrian expanse. But the tunnel project could run aground before even breaking ground. The municipality would need to get a stamp of approval from the U.N.'s cultural agency UNESCO, which has listed the Nativity Church as a world heritage site and would want to ensure its protection. Junaid Sorosh-Wali, an official at UNESCO's Ramallah office, said the agency would study the plan once approached by Palestinian officials and then determine its position. Also, because the tunnel would pass near church grounds, church officials from each of the three denominations that administer the site would need to be involved. Officials at the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian churches did not return messages requesting comment. And, as is always the case when excavating in the Holy Land, any significant archaeological finds could hamper progress on the project. To circumvent that, the study proposes digging a tunnel no deeper than 11 meters (33 feet). Anything of importance is usually buried further down, according to Mazen Karam, the director of the Bethlehem Development Foundation, a group that helped draft the tunnel study. The city will also need to carve out a compensation plan for the businesses whose trade is disrupted by the tunnel construction. For Karam, the tunnel is part of a series of projects meant to spruce up Bethlehem. His foundation has carried out work on cleaning up buildings in Manger Square and improving waste management in the city. "If Joseph and Mary came back to Bethlehem, they would be shocked," he said. "Bethlehem doesn't deserve to be crowded with people and heavy traffic. It should be more open with wide spaces so people can go and enjoy the home of Jesus." ___ Follow Tia Goldenberg on Twitter at twitter.com/tgoldenberg

Luxury Cars ‘Invade’ Popular Greek Winter Destination
Even in the difficult times of the Greek economic crisis, there are people who live in the country and are still able to drive some of the most luxurious cars in the world. These people share a common love for powerful engines and high speed, and they often organize trips in order to drive long distances and spend some quality time with their cars and each other. Members of SpeedSector, a luxury car club, went on an one-day trip to Arachova, Greece , one of the most popular winter destinations, located on Mount Parnassus. The excursion had been planned ahead of time and the club members that decided to participate met at a highway parking lot between Athens and Lamia. A grey collectible Shelby Cobra, Ferraris, Porsches, Lotus, Mercedes, BMWs and Audis made their way to Arachova, turning the small town into a luxury car show. Locals were very excited at the sight and rushed to their cameras and smartphones in order to capture a picture of the rare sight. The drivers enjoyed a meal at one of the local restaurants and around the evening began their journey back. However, they already made plans for the next trip in another part of the country. SpeedSector is luxury car club that has been organizing such trips since October 2013. More than 50 members participate in each trip while a total of 300 people are currently enrolled in the club. In order to become a member, one needs to own a super car and agree to the terms and conditions that have been set by the club’s founders.

Victoria Hislop: ‘The Island’ Author Hurts Cyprus
Frustration is spread in Cyprus for the highly anticipated new book on the occupied city of Famagusta, as British writer Victoria Hislop “whitewashes” the Turkish intruders, in what was originally presented as a novel that would spread the word of the continuing drama of the Cypriot city – which remains a ghost town since August 1974 – to the whole world. Last October, in fact, the occupied city’s mayor, Alexis Galanos, honored at a special event in Nicosia, supported the British author, stressing that “by itself, the title of the book (”The Sunrise”) gives hope to Famagustians that the desire for return will once be realized.” On her behalf, Hislop said at the time that the aim of her latest novel was to write the truth, noting that walking the deserted streets of the abandoned and looted by the Turks city, she saw the ruined houses and memories of people: “Just as I had seen through the ruins of Spinalonga, where lepers lived the history of their souls. I imagined their lives,” she added, referring to her best-selling novel “The Island.” However, the narratives of Hislop’s heroes caused various reactions in Cyprus and many directly claim that the victim and abuser are equated, while the Turkish invaders are being embellished. Former Education Minister Claire Aggelidou noted that there is no reference to the rich cultural past of the city in the book, which is inseparably connected with its timeless Greek character. Instead, solely the opulence of the early ’70s is presented. “The distinction made by Mrs. Hislop in favor of the Turkish-Cypriots is evident in a scholar, who, despite the benevolent mood, cannot point out the slippages in the text. Not talking about the plight of missing persons, prisoners of war, those who were shot by TMT and we are still burying them, suffering the pain every day until today, 40 years after,” Aggelidou underlined, concluding that in the novel, “the Greek-Cypriot is presented as a villain, exploiter, jobber and thief, while a Turkish-Cypriot as selfless, compassionate and altruistic. Is this not politics?” In a past interview, regarding “The Sunrise,” when asked if she knew about the Turkish invasion in Cyprus, Hislop admitted that while it sounds “incredibly naive, she could not remember.” In 1974, at the age of 14, she remembers reading about Cyprus, Watergate and Nixon’s resignation. “I remember seeing the name of Kissinger, who was involved in both issues, and the look on his face, for some reason, reminded me of a cartoon figure… I didn’t like many things: Makarios was also involved in politics and the UK was also involved… I never heard about Cyprus again,” she added then.
