12 disturbing pictures that show what life is like in an American fraternity
[The American Fraternity 3]Courtesy of Andrew Moisey/Daylight Publishing For seven years in the 2000s, photographer Andrew Moisey captured what life was like in an unnamed fraternity at an undergraduate university in the US. A decade later, these shots comprise the bulk of Moisey's new photobook, "The American Fraternity: An Illustrated Ritual Manual," published by Daylight Books. Shot in black and white, the images show candid moments shared between members of the anonymous Greek letter organization. Men drink, vomit, and wrestle; brothers carry pledges in a coffin during an initiation ceremony; women are pictured topless and inebriated, lying down on couches and beds with their eyes closed. We recently talked to Moisey, a professor of art history at Cornell University, to learn more about his provocative series. Below, take a closer look at 12 shots from "The American Fraternity." _EDITOR'S NOTE: Some of the images below show partial nudity and suggest an act of animal cruelty that may make readers uncomfortable._ BETWEEN 2000 AND 2008, ANDREW MOISEY PHOTOGRAPHED MEMBERS OF A GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY. Courtesy of Andrew Moisey/Daylight Books Moisey, who attended the same college, began to visit the fraternity house after his younger brother became a member. At the time, the professor told us, he had just taken an introductory photography class and always had his camera with him. Sensing a rare opportunity to observe a fraternity from the inside, he slowly began to take pictures of the organization's members until "people got used to having [him] around." AT FIRST, MOISEY MAINLY CAPTURED PHOTOS OF BROTHERS PARTYING AND SPENDING TIME TOGETHER. Courtesy of Andrew Moisey/Daylight Books But after a while, he realized that his project had to "transcend" what people "already knew about fraternity life." "It took a long time to get pictures that were more than brothers hanging out, playing video games, and every once in a while, drinking too much," the photographer told INSIDER. Moisey believes this common depiction of fraternity life is one reason why people do not "take it seriously" as a culture. "They don't see how influential [fraternities] can actually be," he said. "So I stayed around to see what I would find," he added. OVER TIME, THE PHOTOGRAPHER WAS ABLE TO GET A MORE INTIMATE LOOK INSIDE THE FRATERNITY. Courtesy of Andrew Moisey/Daylight Books Moisey said the members invited him to take increasingly candid photos after seeing his initial work. "They enjoyed seeing themselves in my pictures," the professor told us, "even when they were doing things other people might look at as scandalous." Four years after he started photographing the brothers, Moisey compiled his work for a show in 2004. "It seemed like a success," he said. "But I didn't think I was finished, so I continued shooting."

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Markos Bolaris met today with the President of the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece, David Saltiel, who was accompanied by the Vice President, Victor Eliezer, and the Treasurer, Daniel Benardout.During the meeting, issues related to actions of the Central Board of Jewish Communities on the international level were discussed, as well as issues related to Greece’s presence in organisations and institutions which deal with the fight against anti-Semitism and the preservation of the memory of the Holocaust.On his behalf, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed both the Government’s as well as his own personal concern for defending the memory of the Greek Jews who were victims of the Holocaust, whose mass extermination represents one of the most tragic chapters of our national history. He also emphasised the efforts to eliminate anti-Semitism on a local and international level through the promotion of the timeless contribution of Greek Jewry. Finally, common actions were discussed and common proposals advanced with culture as major linchpin, particularly with a view towards ensuring respect and promotion of the diversity of Greece's religious and cultural traditions.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terence Quick participates in a SEV workshop in view of a Greek business mission to Nigeria (Athens, 27.09.2018)
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Terence Quick, during a workshop organised in view of an upcoming major business mission to Lagos, Nigeria, stressed the importance for Greek businesses to be open to the developing countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria, with a population of 196 million and abundant natural resources, is the twelfth largest oil producer and the 30th largest economy in the world, with a total GDP of 1.66 trillion dollars in 2016, the highest of any African nation. The business mission which will be headed by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs will take place in November, in Lagos, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Greek-Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, and SEVΕ (Greek Exporters Association).“Following the business missions to Mozambique, South Africa, and Botswana last year around this time, it is now Nigeria’s turn. This is indicative of the interest which this particular geographical area of Sub-Saharan Africa exhibits in promoting the economic and business interests of our country, mainly in such areas as construction, manufacturing, renewable energy resources, communications and information technologies, standardization of production, health services, and shipping,” Mr Quick stated.He also pointed out that there is a considerable margin for the prospect of developing further bilateral trade, especially as Greek companies, wherever they have been active abroad, have proven to be among the top companies in the world in terms of consistency, know-how, quality, competitive pricing, faithful fulfilment of their contractual obligations, supplying jobs to the local population and, at the same time, offering new jobs in their parent companies in Greece due to expansion of their export activity.The event was opened by the Executive Vice President of SEV (Hellenic Federation of Enterprises), Mr Konstantinos Bitsios, SEVE member Mr Nikos Vasiliou, the Chairman of the Greek-Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and Technology, Mr Nikos Yiamakis, Executive Vice Chairman and CEO of the Leventis Group in Nigeria, Mr Michael Economakis, and the chargé d'affaires of the Nigerian Embassy in Greece, Mr Folorunsho Ajadi.

AP Explains: Macedonia referendum: What's in a name?
SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — What's in a name? That's the question Macedonians will be called on to answer Sunday in a referendum on whether to change their country's name to North Macedonia, ending a decades-long dispute with neighboring Greece and opening the door to NATO membership. Greece, a NATO and European Union member, has long blocked Macedonia's efforts to join the alliance, arguing that use of the term "Macedonia" implies territorial ambitions on its own province of the same name, the birthplace of the ancient warrior king Alexander the Great. The name dispute broke out in the early 1990s when the small Balkan country declared independence from the former Yugoslav federation.

Macedonian vote: 'Either we become North Macedonia or North Korea'
Skopje on tenterhooks ahead of referendum on name change that could unlock path to EU and Nato The road link between Greece and Macedonia has never looked better. Newly tunnelled, cemented, widened and signposted, it winds through rolling hills, past vineyards and villages and wood-covered slopes all the way to Skopje, the former Yugoslav republic’s capital. The European Union takes great pride in this. At a time of impoverished connections between the two bickering Balkan neighbours, the newly paved route is concrete proof of what progress and prosperity can achieve. Every few miles a billboard proclaims it is the EU that co-funded the road’s “rehabilitation”. Continue reading...
