Coffee 'could make you live longer', major studies show

Coffee could help you live longer, two major studies have shown.

One suggested people who drink two to three cups of coffee a day have an 18% reduced risk of death.

Two years after the bailout, life in Greece has gotten more miserable

Two years after an international bailout that was supposed to lead to an economic revival, conditions here have only worsened and life for Greeks has become one of constant misery.   

The economy is stagnant, unemployment hovers around 25% and is twice as high for young adults, taxes are rising, and wages are falling. Half of Greek homeowners can’t make their mortgage payments and another quarter can’t afford their property taxes, according to the Bank of Greece.

ERT3's Sunday in the Village is returning to Kef, sounds as though filming will take place in Poros-Sami areas in a couple of days time, between 13-16 July. Intended for transmission on Sunday, 13 August. Not sure if it'll be on webtv or not.

Eight men will appear in court on the western Greek island of Zakynthos in connection with the beating death of a 22-year-old American tourist outside a bar last week.

The eight — six Serbs, one Greek and a British national of Serb origin — were to appear Tuesday morning before an investigating judge, who will decide whether to keep them in custody pending trial or release them on bail.

All are charged with intentional homicide, which carries a maximum life sentence.

I scored 9/10, which amazed me.

So I tried my guesswork on some of the other film quizzes: First Lines Quiz, Spoiler Alert Quiz, Adaption Quiz.

Best score was 4/10, lowest 2/10...  :iroll:
