Funerals begin for victims of deadly wildfire in Greece
ATHENS — Funerals for victims of Greece’s lethal wildfire began Saturday, with the burial of an elderly priest who drowned as he sought safety from the flames in the sea off the Mati coastal resort. Meanwhile, Greece’s public order minister continued to defend authorities’ response to Monday’s blaze that claimed the lives of at least 86 individuals, saying there was no way to evacuate so many people in the short span it took the flames to sweep through the area. Hundreds attended Father Spyridon Papapostolou’s funeral in his parish of Halandri, a northern suburb of the Greek capital of Athens.

Statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, N. Kotzias, at the Press Conference following the 2nd Ministerial Meeting of the Ancient Civilizations Forum (La Paz, 13.07.2018)
I am happy that Bolivia is so far away from Greece, but our souls and our hearts are very close. We feel a lot of love for Bolivia. We have a very famous song saying that our heart also belong to China. We are three countries, three people, three cultures. China is the founder of the modern state. After finishing with the wars of the six states, they created the big China, the modern state, 2500 years back. We are the founders of Democracy, maybe this is the reason for all the problems nowadays. Bolivia is the spirit of all of us. We are three countries which are very proud for our history, but we are not “prisoners” of history. History has to be a school, not a prison. So we have to take the big decision to work together to show to the other world the spirits and the meanings of our cultures. And ancient culture is still alive. It is alive through time, it is alive as a smart power, and has now become a big economic factor. What we are doing is to the benefit of our people, but also to the benefit of the world. In this Forum, we have common interests between us, but also with the world at large. If you look at what Chinese, Greek, Bolivian and other countries’ sciences brought to these thousands years to humanity, it certainly is a reason for being proud about our history. But history is not food, so we have to look to the future, to work together and to learn together. Many thanks to the Bolivian Government and to you Fernando, personally, for your hospitality, for your courage to fight with us. Many thanks to China. Together, we have co-founded this Forum. We have a long, parallel history. We have a long history, both of us, but unlike us, they are the big country. Last but not least, I came here in Bolivia in the morning hours and I have found out that the people of this country are lovely people, smiling, and extremely kind people. Thank you for your kindness. DECLARATION OF TIWANAKU (images/DECLARACION DE TIWANAKU 13 DE JULIO DE 2018.doc)

9 places you can go diving with sharks - and what it looks like
[tiger beach shark diving bahamas]Shutterstock/wildestanimal If shows like those on Discovery's Shark Week or National Geographic's SharkFest make you think "I'd like to see these creatures up close in the wild," you should get yourself SCUBA-certified. Sharks are fascinating, often-misunderstood, and far more at risk from humans than we are from them. There are places you can swim and snorkel with sharks, but as a diver, you can hover underwater and watch them in their natural environments. The following locations for shark diving have been recommended by diving organizations like the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) as some of the best places to see sharks in the wild. Before you book tickets, however, remember to exercise caution. Even though sharks aren't out to harm people, they might bite in a moment of curiosity or confusion, or if you bump into them. Many sharks are also threatened and endangered species, so it's important to ensure that you're diving with a group that understands the importance of conservation and doesn't encourage harmful behaviors like grabbing onto sharks. But as long as you keep conservation and safety in mind, you really can get out there and enjoy the company of some of the most fascinating fish in the ocean. Here's where to go.

Dolls, bicycles among charred belongings leftover from blaze
MATI, Greece (AP) — The soot-smothered mermaid doll lying among the detritus of a fire-gutted home may have been in a child's hands just before the flames swept through the structure. The little canary's chirps were probably silenced just as the fire's chocking smoke engulfed its tiny cage. All that remains of a bicycle that was once a child's pride and joy is now a blackened hulk. And a singed soccer ball with a Chelsea logo emblazoned on it won't be used again for another kid's pick-up game. These are a few of the personal items left strewn among the burnt-out remains of hundreds of homes in this coastal resort community that was devastated by Monday's wildfire in Greece.
