This document describes an old Greek Christmas custom where model boats were displayed in homes and public squares to symbolize man's new course in life after the birth of Christ. The custom honored sailors returning from voyages and was a way for children to sing carols. Though the tradition has declined over time, some Greek municipalities have recently tried to restore the custom of decorating public spaces with Christmas boats instead of trees to celebrate the holidays.

Barcellona
Barcelona is a gorgeous metropolis with a rich history, culture, and traditions that were explored during a Comenius meeting. Students learned about Catalan dance, celebrations, and culture by meeting with the mayor of Les Corts and experiencing a performance by Lavinia pupils for St. George's Day. They also admired the magnificent architecture of Antoni Gaudi, including his masterpieces in the Barri Gòtic district. Barcelona offers bright sites like La Boqueria Market, the lively Camp Nou stadium, delicious food and wine, and the welcoming Escola Lavinia school. The trip created new friendships and provided the gift of experiencing the vibrant city.

Island Of Rab
ISLAND OF RAB CROATIA
Rab island covers 93.6 square km. It is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic and probably one of the most magical. It is covered with pine forests and has beautiful sandy beaches, and is well known for its mild climate which differs from the mainland. The reason for this is that three ridges are present which protect the island from cold winds from the Velebit mountains.
The main resort, Rab Town, is full of medieval buildings, built during the Venetian rule, which occurred since the 13th century. The old town walls are still visible in some places.
Other than the small town of Rab, there are 7 idyllic places on the island situated on different parts of the island: Barbat, Banjol, Palit, Kampor, Mundanije, Supetarska Draga and Lopar

The sea in our tradition
Maritime customs and traditions in Greece involve religious ceremonies associated with Epiphany on January 6th. On this day, priests bless bodies of water and local people dive in to retrieve a cross, believing it brings blessing. At Piraeus harbor, a priest throws a large crucifix into the water after which fishermen have their boats blessed. These traditions connect to beliefs about Jesus's baptism and also reflect ancient Roman ceremonies to assure protection from sea spirits and open the navigation season. Other events throughout the year include reenactments of historic sea battles and processions on Good Friday that generate beautiful scenes with torches and chants.
Greek christmas and new year part 1
Traditionally in Greece, boats rather than trees were decorated for Christmas due to Greece's strong maritime heritage and long coastline. Small paper or wooden boats symbolizing wealth were placed near doors or fires with their bows facing inside homes. Today, Thessaloniki erects a large illuminated metal ship structure next to the Christmas tree in the main square, continuing the boat tradition. Caroling groups of children still visit homes around Christmas, New Years and Epiphany singing ancient Greek carols and receiving treats or money.

It describes how Greeks traditionally decorated a log or stump called "Christoxylo" at Christmas and how this has been replaced by the Christmas tree. It also discusses the older Greek tradition of decorating boats and how this custom has declined but is still practiced in some islands and municipalities. It concludes that both the boat and tree traditions bring a festive atmosphere to homes during the Christmas season.

Handmade christmas cards
The Greeks decorate Christmas boats as a tradition that originated from their strong connection to the sea. For many Greek families, the father and/or son worked as sailors, risking their lives on the waves to support their family. The small boats symbolized families' hopes for reuniting with loved ones and represented gratitude for the protection of Saint Nicolas, the patron saint of sailors. Children would carry the decorated boats and sing carols. Though Christmas trees have become more common in Greece since the 1800s, the custom of adorning boats continues among fishing and sailing communities.

Ships by cristóbal cantero
Maritime history is the study of human activity at sea and how ships have evolved over time. Early ships were simple rafts, dugout canoes, or boats made of lashed-together sticks and animal hides. Over centuries, ships developed new technologies like sails, rudders, and multiple levels for rowers that allowed them to carry more cargo and travel further. Major innovations included the Phoenicians' development of galleys and triremes powered by both sails and oars, and the later introduction of fore-and-aft rigged sails that made ships more maneuverable. Today's large cargo and tanker ships are a far cry from ancient vessels and continue to incorporate new technologies.

Carnival In Greece

Over time, carnival traditions evolved and spread during the Eastern Roman Empire, allowing people to masquerade and celebrate. Various regions of Greece still observe local carnival customs, such as wearing elaborate costumes, parades, dancing, and special celebrations marking the start of Lent. Carnival remains an important cultural tradition in many Greek communities.

The Aztecs had remarkable technological achievements including building the island city of Tenochtitlan by creating artificial islands called chinampas. They made chinampas by piling soil, boulders, and mud on mats of reeds which were then tied to wooden posts driven into the lake. Three causeways connected Tenochtitlan to the mainland and also served as dikes during the rainy season. The Aztecs adapted the Mayan solar and sacred calendars for farming and religious purposes such as determining lucky days. One famous Aztec artifact is the massive Sun Stone dedicated to the sun god.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
