In 2008 I released an album with 9 tracks. The songs were not made for the CD, because Dance Calling is just a selection of my songs. They include remixes of known beats but also songs written by me. This time I'm writting the songs for my second disc, iDance. I want to release it before 2010, but don't count on it, because it may take much longer. Until then, enjoy Dance Calling!
Hello, I'm Alex, I'm 14 and I live in Pallini, Greece. I have many hobbies such as listening to music (dance, electronic, rock, pop, jazz, metal etc.), learning foreign languages (English, German, Chinese), skiing and snowboarding, dancing hip-hop (even if I've stopped for this year) and hanging out with friends. I like to write on my blog about my thoughts or poems but I also love to design blogs, websites and profiles layouts (Myspace, Stickam, Wix.com, Blogskins.com, Me.gr, Createblog.com skins). I love dance music and DJing (unfortunately only two times on parties) and I've made written many songs and remixes. I play drums and the piano, but I don't know if I will continue next year. Recent years I've been thinking of studying architecture, but apart from buildings I design mobile phones and take-edit pictures. Last year I managed to erect along with 4 girls an environmental team in my class that reached 92 members, but for next year I hope we'll make more actions. I love travelling and broadening my horizons with memories of foreign cultures and people. When I don't travel, I can travel by reading a nice book or watching a movie. My favourite books are Vernon god little, Maska sto feggari, Che-sueno rebelde and my favourite movies are Spider Lilies, Chicago, Ai no Kotodama, Der krieger und die keiserin, Die fetten jahre sind vorbei and Bowling for Columbine.

How to help with a click?
The Hunger Site was founded to focus the power of the Internet on a specific humanitarian need: the eradication of world hunger. Since its launch in June 1999, the site has
established itself as a leader in online activism, helping to feed the world's hungry. On average, over 220,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to
click the yellow "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. To date, more than 300 million visitors have given more than 500 million cups of staple food.
The staple food funded by clicks at The Hunger Site is paid for by site sponsors and distributed to those in need by Mercy
Corps
and America's Second Harvest
. 100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners.
Funds are split between these organizations and go to the aid of hungry people in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and North America.
All of us here at The Hunger Site are also deeply moved by the humanitarian
crisis in Darfur
. Learn how you can help!
Hunger: Do You Know The Facts?
It is estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each
year.
About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are
children under the age of five.
Famine and wars cause about 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend to be the ones you hear about most often. The majority of hunger deaths are caused by chronic
malnutrition. Families facing extreme poverty are simply unable to get enough food to eat.
The Hunger Site began on June 1, 1999. In 1999, a year marked by good economic news, 31 million Americans were food insecure, meaning they were either hungry or unsure of where their next meal would come from. Of these Americans, 12 million were children.
Your click on the "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button helps fund free mammograms for women in need — low-income, inner-city
and minority women whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited. Your click is paid for by site sponsors,
and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the
National Breast Cancer Foundation
.
Early Detection: Do You Know The Facts?
The National Breast Cancer Foundation estimates that each year, over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and over 40,000 die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Approximately 1,700 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year.
If detected early, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer exceeds 96%. Mammograms are among the best early detection methods, yet
13 million U.S. women 40 years of age or older have never had a mammogram.
The National Cancer Institute and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommend that women in their forties and older have mammograms
every one to two years. A complete early detection plan also includes regular clinical breast examinations by a trained medical professional.
Monthly breast self-exams are suggested in addition.
The Child Health Site is dedicated to funding simple and very effective preventatives and treatments with the goal of robust child
health around the globe. Your daily click funds the administration of Vitamin A to prevent life-threatening childhood illness and disease as well as one preventable cause of childhood blindness; the manufacture and fitting of children's prostheses so that a child injured by a landmine or other accident can still walk, run and play and still has a fighting chance to be a productive contributor in his or her society as an adult; eye surgeries that can reverse one kind of childhood blindness; and HIV testing that will alert medical personnel that a mother may pass the infection onto her child at birth so that she can be treated and the newborn spared of this terrible disease. When you click, once per day, every day, you are helping to get these types of treatments and services to the children who need them most.
On average, over 70,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to click the blue "Click Here to Give - it's FREE"
button. To date, more than 100 million visitors have helped more than 2,161,000 children.
The Literacy Site is dedicated to funding free books for children.
On average, over 80,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to click the "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button.
To date, more than 87 million visitors have helped provide more than 1.6 million books to children who need them the most.
Within the U.S., access to books is essential to reading development: the only variable that directly correlates with reading scores is the number of books in the home. However, most recent data describes a profound, even shocking gap: while the ratio of books to children in middle-income neighborhoods is approximately 13 books to 1 child, the ratio in low-income neighborhoods is 1 book to 300 children.* In addition, over 80 percent of childcare centers serving low-income children lack age-appropriate books. Together, The Literacy Site and its domestic partner, First Book, provide children from low-income families in the U.S. with books they can take home and keep.

Worldwide, there are more than 770 million illiterate adults, two-thirds of whom are women and girls. In addition, there are over 100 million children not currently enrolled in primary school and millions of others not currently enrolled in secondary school. Education is a lifelong gift that empowers people to ultimately improve socioeconomic conditions for their families, communities, countries, and future generations. Through the opportunities that only an education can provide, we can break the cycle of poverty, one child at a time. Together, The Literacy Site and its international partner, Room to Read, provide books to children in some of the poorest regions of the world, including Tibet, India, Vietnam, and Laos.
Our team consists of students of the third high school class of Ellinogermaniki Agogi school.
Its founding members are: Alkistis Mprountzou, Malvina Nikandrou, Alexandros Paradissis, Manto Robolaki and Chrisoula Tolia.
The team was founded in 2008 and has 92 members so far. We had done similar efforts last year by presenting our environmental project in our school.
Our view on which we rely, is that every small change that makes each of us can contribute to environmental protection.
Environment
The greenhouse effect
The quantities of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere have increased alarmingly in recent decades because of growing human activities worldwide.
This has resulted in the atmosphere to trap heat that otherwise released into space, so it reinforces the "greenhouse effect", or global warming.
The climate of the earth is shaped by a constant flow of energy from the sun.
Heat energy, which comes from the rays of the sun, passes through the atmosphere and heats the earth's surface.
That way people are taking heat from the sun, which is necessary to survive on earth.
As the temperature rises, the earth emits heat energy (infrared radiation) back into the atmosphere.
A proportion of the heat absorbed by gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O3) and water vapor.
The gases are known as greenhouse gases.
These gases anyway in natural concentrations in the atmosphere, it acts as a blanket or a glass and trapped heat in the atmosphere, preventing reflected very far from land.
That's how they keep the average temperature of the earth in about 15 ° C: this temperature is sufficient for sustaining life on our planet. Without these gases, the average temperature of the earth would be around - 18 ° C, the temperature is too low to maintain life.
This warming is a natural phenomenon known as «greenhouse gases».
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important of the gases that keep warm the atmosphere.
Four billion years ago, its concentration in the atmosphere was much higher than today (80% compared with the concentration of 0.03% observed today).
But through photosynthesis rate of concentration in the atmosphere over time decreased significantly.
All this amount of carbon dioxide trapped within organizations, which then formed minerals such as coal and oil, the earth's crust.
The natural cycle of carbon dioxide.
During the natural cycle of carbon dioxide, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is kept in balance.
Through breathing and decomposition of plants and of volcanic eruptions, natural CO2 is getting released into the atmosphere, where it stays for 100 years.
It gets removed again from the atmosphere through photosynthesis of plants and by dissolution in water (for example, in the oceans).
The amount of CO2 produced naturally balanced almost entirely by the amount deducted naturally.
Human activities, however, affect this balance, and that is largely responsible for global warming.
You are free to use information taken from the site without asking me, but I would like to know it.
Putting part of the site information on your site should include the website it comes from.
To simplify this question, copyright infringement occurs when you do certain things with a creative work which someone else produced without first getting the proper permission.
Some examples of copyright infringement (this is only a partial listing) can include:
Placing a photograph or creative work online without proper permission.
Using a creative work commercially.
Adapting a creative work of one medium to another, such as making a book into a movie or a photograph into a painting.
Modifying or editing a creative work without proper permission.
How Can I Avoid Infringing on Someone's Copyright?
The best way to avoid infringing on the rights of another creative person is to use your skill, talent and imagination to create your own completely original work. When we use the word 'original' we don't mean that you must come up with an idea which hasn't been used before, when used in copyright matters "original"means that you created your work without referencing or deliberately copying anyone else's work during the process.
Ensure that all parts of your work, both visual and audio, are your own original creations. If you have used materials which are owned by other people or companies make certain that you have obtained proper permission or licensing for the use before you place your work online.
What Sort of Things are Copyrighted?
The easy answer to this question is that just about any creative work you might find should be considered to be copyrighted by default.
A work is not required to have a copyright statement printed on it or near it in order to be considered copyrighted so do not assume that the work is unprotected simply because you cannot see a notice written anywhere.
Also do not confuse the fact that a work is publicly available with the idea that it is public domain or free for use. Being easy to find on the internet does not affect a work's copyrighted status.
Some Cautions
In most cases it does not matter how much of the material you have used. Whether it's a single frame, a few moments of audio, a short clip of video or any other sampling it's still considered to be copyrighted and you still require the owner's permission for use.
It doesn't matter how you obtained the material, it's still considered copyrighted and you still need permission.
It doesn't matter whether or not you've credited the proper owner, it's still considered copyrighted and you still need permission.
It doesn't matter if you are not selling it or making a profit, it's still considered copyrighted and you still need permission.
It doesn't matter if you can find other people using things without permission, it's still considered copyrighted and you still need permission.
It doesn't matter if you've edited it a little bit or made a few alterations, if it's recognizable it's still considered copyrighted and you still need permission.
