Lady Gaga Stuns in Athens Concert

Lady Gaga and her long-anticipated concert took place tonight in Athens, Greece. Holding one of the most desired tickets, fans gathered in the Athens Olympic Stadium to admire the popular and eccentric pop singer’s performance that started at 9 pm. A large stage has been set up and Lady Gaga rewarded fans with a spectacular show. The concert began with singer Alex Kavvadias, who became famous as a member of the “Matisse” group. The concert set is designed in a way that brings the singer closer to her fans, regardless where they stand. The corridors, made of semi-transparent material, are connecting the main stage with the smaller stages built around it, going all the way to where fans are situated. Fans will be able to walk and dance in these corridors, while observing the show through a new perspective. The 28-year-old pop diva, who arrived in Athens on Wednesday, had already caused panic and admiration. She showed up at the airport dressed as Botticceli’s Venus, while a little later, after receiving a warm welcome from fans outside her hotel, she posted half-naked pictures from her suit’s bathtub, while she rejoiced the hotel hospitality. She even uploaded a photo of a chocolate Caryatid. Lady Gaga’s Athens performance was part of her ArtRAVE: the ARTPOPBALL tour, supporting her third studio album Artpop (2013). The tour began on May 4 and is scheduled to end on November 24.

Versace offers easy, wearable looks for next summer and a practical handbag. That's right.

by  Associated Press For Versace, this is understated by COLLEEN BARRY, Associated Press - 19 September 2014 15:21-04:00 MILAN (AP) — Versace wouldn't be Versace without the flamboyance. But Donatella Versace understated it just a bit for next summer's look, presented on Friday, the third day of Milan Fashion Week previews for next summer. Dresses were straight-fitting, instead of body-hugging. Pants were just a tad looser fit. Jewelry punctuated looks with a period, not an exclamation point. "I think it is very wearable as a line, not to tight, very easy," Donatella Versace said backstage after the show. That does not mean the Versace woman won't be showing skin. There were midriffs left bare or revealed under sheer panels. And why stop at a slit on long skirts, when you can square cut? For bling, colorful cocktail dresses were sprinkled with shimmering Swarovski crystals. Plexi-glass high heels were of requisite Versace. Versace made the familiar Greek border logo very graphic, often in a maxi dimension to incorporate into the composition of the garment, an element that complemented the clean lines and strong colors of the collection. The graphic feel was echoed in the mesh that gave some of the looks a sporty feel. And Donatella demonstrated just how well she knows women: Handbags featured external pockets for telephones, lipsticks and a pen. Fumble-proof.

Hardouvelis: Greece Will Take Emergency Loans to Exit Bailout

Greek Finance Minister Gikas Hardouvelis talked to Bloomberg TV’s Guy Johnson on Friday and stated that Greece is likely to resort to emergency loans in 2015 and 2016 in order to exit from the terms of its bailout. “The IMF doesn’t want to lend alone; the Europeans feel itchy about the IMF lending and them staying out,” Hardouvelis told Bloomberg. “All possibilities are up for grabs,” he added. Although Greece’s bailout program expires this year, the IMF is expected to continue disbursing funds until the first quarter of 2016. Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is agitating to end the 240-billion-euro bailout, which came with austerity measures that fueled a political backlash and a recession that damaged the economy. In his interview, Hardouvelis eliminated a writedown on the Greek debt‘s nominal value. “About 70% of the Greek debt is held either by the ECB or the other countries, so you can’t write it down,” he stated. “You can extend the maturities, you can fix part of the variable rate of debt, but writing it down, that would have to go through various parliaments,” he added, claiming that no country would accept it. Commenting on the possibility of early elections, Hardouvelis noted that there is no such case, as the Greek citizens don’t want snap elections. “Investors think long term and they see no downside risk to Greece. The presidential elections are a minor nuisance,” the Greek Minister told Bloomberg.

Outstanding Debts to Greek State Exceed 69 Billion Euros

Outstanding debts to the Greek state hit a record high, reaching 69.24 billion euros in August, compared to 68 billion euros in July 2014. The amount of debts to the state is still huge, although 2.8 million citizens paid owed taxes in August, much more than in previous months. It appears that debtors in Greece used their vacation allowance to repay their debts to the Tax Service instead of going on vacation, as the Greek state collected 1.6 billion euros in August, compared to 1.2 in July. Greek taxpayers paid 1.1 billion euros in June, 1.2 billion in May and 1.1 billion in April.  Within 4 months, the debt rate repayment increased by almost 50% but outstanding debts increased by 7 billion euros (62,3 billion euros in April). Austerity measures, cuts in wages and pensions as well as increased taxes, are making Greek citizens unable to pay their debts.

How The Microsoft Engine That Nailed The World Cup Is Using Your Facebook Status To Predict NFL Games

After correctly predicting 15 of 16 World Cup knockout stage games, Microsoft's virtual assistant Cortana is taking on the mother of all American sports, the NFL, and it's doing it with the help of Facebook and Twitter data. Cortana's NFL predictions come from a model developed by the company's Bing Predicts team. When you search the term "NFL predictions" or search for a specific game on Bing, the results contain the Bing Predicts prediction with the team's percentage chance of winning. Windows phone users can ask Cortana who will win this weekend's Seahawks-Broncos game, for example, and it will tell them. Here's what the predictions look like on the web: The Bing Predicts NFL model, which a small group of computer scientists at Microsoft came up with, includes all the traditional variables that you'd expect it to include. Determinative factors like past results, home/road effect, turf/grass effect, weather, strength of schedule, and advanced offensive and defensive statistics are all in there. But Bing Predicts includes a variable that other systems don't — public sentiment. "It takes into account the wisdom of the crowd," is how Microsoft director of consumer communications Craig Beilinson described it. Because of exclusive partnerships with Facebook and Twitter, Bing has access to a mountain of social data that they can use to determine the public perception of teams and games. By analyzing aggregate Facebook status updates and tweets, the model can quantify the public sentiment for or against a given team and factor that into its prediction. The idea is to catch things that the stats can't see — like injuries or inner turmoil. Advanced statistical models are often held up as the antidote to public perception. These models are meant to be purely empirical, immune from human subjectivity. The Bing model is different. It sees the wisdom of crowds as a legitimate indicator. It sees public sentiment as the expression of unseen variables that ought to be incorporated in the model next to traditional indicators like rushing stats. As we saw in Week 2, this can be dangerous. The Baltimore Ravens played the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football only days after cutting Ray Rice in chaotic fashion that week. While Microsoft wouldn't tell us how heavily public sentiment is weighted in the model's "secret sauce," anecdotal evidence suggests it affected the prediction. Bing Predicts had the Steelers as a relatively significant 59.8% favorite. That prediction deviated from most other models. Las Vegas had the Ravens as a slight favorite, and Nate Silver's ELO model had the Ravens as a 54% favorite. Baltimore won 26-6. Bing Predicts was wrong. Overall, though, things are off to a decent start. Cortana is 19-13 on the young season. Silver's model is 19-13 as well. Vegas favorites are 17-15. Time will tell if Cortana can duplicate its World Cup success. Bing Predicts started as an experiment to see if Microsoft could predict the results of shows like "American Idol" and "The Voice" based on what people were talking about and searching for online. After some success in the reality TV realm, Bing moved into trickier, more saturated predictive territory — sports. It found success there too. It correctly predicted all but one World Cup knockout stage game. It picked Germany to beat Brazil in the semifinal when every other statistical model had Brazil as the favorite. It nailed apparent toss-up games like Costa Rica-Greece and Uruguay-Colombia. Its only blemish was the third-place consolation game between Brazil and the Netherlands — which the underdog Netherlands won. That success raised eyebrows. It's one thing to look at social data and figure out which "American Idol" singer the public likes, it's another to correctly predict a sporting event. Microsoft still views Bing Predicts as something of an experiment. The company breaks down predictions into three categories: open votes ("American Idol"), limited votes (the Academy Awards), and things that happen (sports). The third category is the hardest to get right. Whereas Facebook statuses and tweets about "American Idol" has a relationship to the actual outcome of the show, public sentiment in sports isn't actionable. The team is updating its model every week to try and get more accurate predictions, which we'll be tracking week-by-week.SEE ALSO: NFL Power Rankings, Where Every Team Stands Going Into Week 3 Join the conversation about this story »

The Most Interesting Films in Drama’s Short Film Festival

For yet another year the International Short Film Festival of Drama presented some of Greece’s newest and most interesting short films, as well as some significant foreign productions. The support for the festival offered by the residents of Drama has turned it into one of Greece’s most important cultural events. The following films won particular praise from the Greek audience: Prosefhi by Thanasis Neofotistos Neofotistos’s first movie confronts the issue of bullying in Greek schools. The main character, Dimitris, lives in terror while under daily attack from schoolmates. The film’s main themes are adolescence, adulthood, Dimitris’s inner world and his relationship with those around him. Drag Me: An Urban Music Tale by Nikos Kellis This great animation — based on the song “Drag What’s left of my Body through the Mud” of The You and What Army Faction — follows the adventures of a girl in the deadly, dirty and cruel streets of a vast metropolis. The Immortalizer by Marios Piperidis Cyprus, 1878: a desperate father attempts to save his daughter. In the middle of the night, he finds himself looking for the only man who can keep her alive. The film has won accolades for its aesthetics and impressive performances in film festivals in Cyprus and Portugal. The guilable Kiss of Mr. Patokos by Evaggelos Alexandros Apostolakis The film wrestles with the difficult issue of a protagonist’s love for a figure of his imagination. The director uses a moving pencil to capture their introduction and invite us to the emotional world of his characters. Above and Beyond by Anita Chamilou Anita Chamilou’s first film entices the spectator from its earliest seconds. An old man lives alone on the Greek-Albanian border. A radio is his only company. But what happens when his favorite music station closes due to financial difficulties? Walk by Stella Kyriakopoulou Dealing with the issue of the economic crisis, the film traces the story of a poor mother, Marissa, and her daughter. Marissa takes her daughter for their usual walk around the city — but, unbeknownst to her daughter, Marissa is planning to give her up for adoption. Spectrum by Dimitris Gkotsis The film shows the brutal day of five people in the Athens city center. The director creates a violent portrait of every day people who are prepared to forgo their limits and resort to violence on the slightest pretext.

The Greek Look-alike of Ryan Gosling

George Gasteratos, a man from the island of Corfu in western Greece, is the Greek look-alike of the Hollywood star Ryan Gosling. In fact, the resemblance is so uncanny that, were Gasteratos to live in the USA, some think that he could work as Gosling’s double. “I have often been told that I look like him,” said Gasteratos, admitting that at first he didn’t know who Ryan Gosling was. “To be honest, I did not know his name and I searched in Google to see who he was. Of course, when the photos appeared on the computer, I realised that at least I knew his face,” he told Espresso newspaper. The 27 year-old works as a model in Greece. He says that everyone — work colleagues, unknown girls on Facebook — insists that he resembles Gosling. Gasteratos will soon depart for neighboring Turkey. There, as well as in Europe, he has received many proposals for work from noted designers.

Administrative Reform Minister Against Mayors’ Refusal for Evaluation of Employees

Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis responded to statements made by 19 Greek mayors, who have insisted that they will not permit the review of work contracts that changed the status of municipal personnel from contract workers to payroll employees. An Athens court of first instance on Thursday deemed illegal and abusive a decision by the ADEDY civil servants’ union to prevent its members from taking part in an evaluation process, prompting the government to underline its determination to complete the assessment. “There is no longer any excuse,” said Mitsotakis. “This needs to be taken on board by everyone, both those who are opposed to the checks and evaluation as well as those who are their political protectors.” The government aims for the evaluation process to lead to 15 percent of civil servants being either retrained, moved to more suitable positions or dismissed. Thursday’s verdict was the fourth to uphold the government’s efforts to carry out the evaluation. It also bars ADEDY from holding further action on this issue. “We have to agree on the self-evident: It is clear that everyone has to be evaluated,” said Mitsotakis. “It is also evident that anyone who got a job in the public sector illegally has to be dismissed. The checks for forged certificates and on contracts that were made permanent without the necessary criteria being fulfilled will be stepped up.” The mayors — who have the support of the new Attica region governor Rena Dourou — have decided not to provide the information required to crosscheck the employees’ qualifications to the ministry of Administrative Reform.
