Για να ολοκληρωθεί γλωσσικά το σημείωμα:

The suffix -stan (Persian: ـستان‎ -stān) is Persian for "place of" or "country".

The suffix also appears in the names of many regions, especially in Central and South Asia, areas where ancient Indo-Iranian peoples were established; in Indo-Iranian, however, it is also used more generally, as in Persian and Urdu rigestân (ریگستان) "place of sand, desert", Pakistan "land of the pure" and golestan (گلستان) "place of flowers, garden", Hindi devasthan ("place of devas, temple"), etc.

The suffix, originally an independent noun, but evolving into a suffix by virtue of appearing frequently as the last part in nominal compounds, is of Indo-Iranian and ultimately Indo-European origin [...]

Άλλα (περισσότερο ή λιγότερο) γνωστά -σταν στα ελληνικά χωρίς σύγχρονη κρατική υπόσταση: Ινδουστάν, Κουρδιστάν, Βελουχιστάν.

Και φυσικά: Yunanistan (Γιουνανιστάν), η χώρα των Ιώνων, το όνομα της σύγχρονης Ελλάδας στα τουρκικά.

Does a More Equal Marriage Mean Less Sex?
Is the trade-off of egalitarian marriage necessarily less sexual heat? It’s possible that the sexual scripts we currently follow will evolve along with our marital arrangements so that sameness becomes sexy. Regardless, more people marrying today are choosing egalitarian setups for the many other benefits they offer. (κυριακάτικη ΝΥΤ)

Στο Άβατο των μαύρων Ελλήνων της Θράκης

Εκεί, μακριά από τα μάτια του κόσμου, συναντά κανείς τους μαύρους Έλληνες της Θράκης. Οι πρόγονοί τους ήρθαν στην Ελλάδα την εποχή της Τουρκοκρατίας, ως σκλάβοι των μπέηδων, και παρέμειναν στη χώρα μας. Σκλάβοι της άγνοιας είναι σήμερα οι απόγονοι εκείνων των Αφρικανών. Έλληνες, με εξωτική όψη και μουσουλμανικά ονόματα, οι οποίοι δεν ξέρουν πότε ήρθαν και από πού. [...] (Ελευθεροτυπία)

Τα χρόνια που πέρασα στην Ξάνθη (που είναι δίπλα της το Άβατο) δε θυμάμαι να συνάντησα ποτέ κανέναν μάυρο, οπότε μου κάνει εντύπωση. Βέβαια τότε δεν είχα δει πολλούς μαύρους και μπορεί και να νόμιζα ότι είναι όλοι σαν την οικογένεια Χάξταμπλ.

Russian Daredevils Climb to the Top of The Shanghai Tower, The World’s Second Tallest Building, 12-2-2014

In this hair-raising video, Russian daredevils Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov climb to the top of the world’s second tallest building, the 2,073-foot-tall Shanghai Tower. The duo finished their ascent by climbing the construction crane at the top of the building (the tower is still under construction), capturing a truly frightening view back down to earth. They’ve posted photos and a write-up of their stunt on Live Journal. Don’t try this at home kids.

Προσοχή, το βίντεο είναι ακατάλληλο για υψοφοβικούς! Ή όπως λέει ο Θέμης:

Νεκρολογία της Alison Jolly, ζωολόγου, στην ΝΥΤ:
“Females have social, spatial and feeding priority over males,” Dr. Jolly wrote in describing the feeding, mating, child-rearing and recreational habits of the ring-tailed lemur, one of about 100 recognized species of lemur, of which more than a dozen are female-dominant. Among the ring-tailed lemurs, Dr. Jolly wrote in “Lemur Behavior: A Madagascar Field Study,” “all females, whether dominant or subordinate in the female hierarchy, are dominant over males.”
The most subordinate females would “at times pounce upon a dominant male and snatch a tamarind pod from his hand, cuffing him over the ear in the process,” she added.
