👮 Cyprus Justice Minister Learns About Police Decisions From the News Again
A new conflict is unfolding in Cyprus between the Ministry of Justice and police leadership 🇨🇾
Justice Minister Costas Fytiris reportedly learned through media reports that police had changed the work schedule of officers in the crime prevention unit.
And this is already the second similar incident this year.
What happened?
📌 Police leadership decided to introduce a new work schedule for officers in a special unit.
Previously, officers worked under various 12-hour shift systems, but a new format with 11-hour shifts is now planned.
⚠️ However, the issue turned out to be more than just scheduling.
The minister stated that he did not hear about the decision directly — he learned about it through press publications.
Why has this become a dispute?
🤔 Police argue that staffing and scheduling changes fall within their internal authority.
⚖️ The Ministry believes such decisions can affect the operation of security services and therefore should involve broader discussion.
Police unions are also unhappy — some have already spoken out against the changes and are preparing emergency discussions.
📌 The debate now is no longer only about shift schedules, but increasingly about a broader question: who should make these kinds of decisions, and how?

🥤 Why Did Cyprus’s Own Lemonades Disappear? The Story of an Entire Era
There was a time when soft drinks were made in almost every village in Cyprus 🇨🇾
They were sold in coffee shops, cinemas, and fairs, while children hunted for the glass marbles inside the bottles — sometimes even breaking the bottles just to get them 😄
What was it like back then?
🍋 Lemonade, orange soda, cherry soda, and almond drinks were produced by small family businesses.
🏠 Café owners often made soft drinks themselves directly on-site — without large factories or complicated equipment.
👨👩👧👦 For many families, it became a way to earn a living after the war and start their own businesses.
The most famous brand became KEAN, founded in Limassol in 1949, producing local lemonades and fruit drinks.
😲 Interesting fact:
In the past, special bottles with a glass marble inside were used instead of caps. Children across the island would take out these marbles and play with them like modern glass “marbles.”
❓Why did it all disappear?
Everything changed when international brands arrived in Cyprus:
🥤 Pepsi
🥤 Canada Dry
🥤 and other major companies
Ironically, local producers themselves helped these brands enter the island. They already had factories and established delivery systems across Cyprus.
Over time, small family businesses struggled to compete with global brands, and local lemonades gradually disappeared.
📌 Just a few decades ago, soft drinks were produced in nearly every city in Cyprus, but today an entire industry survives only through old bottles, photographs, and memories.

🍫 How to Stop Constantly Craving Sweets: Psychologist Shares a Simple Trick
If you constantly feel like grabbing chocolate, cookies, or something sweet after meals — you’re definitely not alone 😅
Our love for sweet foods is built into us by nature. The problem is that today sugar is everywhere — even where you would never expect it.
⚠️ Too much sugar can contribute to:
• weight gain;
• diabetes;
• heart problems;
• energy spikes followed by fatigue;
• accelerated aging.
But psychologists say the issue is often not only about sugar itself — it is also about how we think about the craving.
For example:
❌ “I urgently need something sweet.”
This thought alone often pushes us straight toward the fridge.
Instead, experts suggest trying a different approach:
✅ “Yes, I want something sweet. But that doesn’t mean I have to eat it right now.”
🧠 According to specialists, cravings often fade on their own if we avoid reacting automatically.
Interestingly, your body usually doesn’t need chocolate at that exact moment — more often it is habit, emotions, or a desire for a quick burst of pleasure.
📌 Sometimes it is enough to pause for a minute and ask yourself:
“Am I actually hungry, or do I just want something tasty?”
Sometimes your brain and your stomach give very different answers 😄

🚨 Foot-and-Mouth Disease Reaches Limassol: First Case Detected in Pachna
For the first time, foot-and-mouth disease has been detected in the Limassol district. The outbreak was identified on a farm located between the villages of Pachna and Prastio, where 66 goats and sheep were being kept.
🐐 Despite the animals already being vaccinated, once the virus was confirmed all livestock on the farm had to be culled — such measures are used to prevent further spread of the disease.
⚠️ Restrictions are now being introduced around the area:
• strict control zone — 3 km;
• surveillance zone — 10 km.
The following areas may fall under restrictions:
📍 Pachna
📍 Agios Amvrosios
📍 Anogyra
📍 Avdimou
📍 Prastio
📍 Pissouri
According to specialists, one of the main reasons behind the spread of the virus is the illegal movement of animals between farms.
📊 The situation has already become serious:
• 117 farms across the island have been infected;
• more than 70,000 animals have been culled.
💰 Authorities have allocated more than €35 million in compensation to support farmers.
📌 Experts emphasize that foot-and-mouth disease generally does not pose a serious threat to humans, but for agriculture it remains one of the most damaging diseases, with outbreaks capable of causing enormous losses.

🚨🇨🇾 Earthquake Detected Off the Coast of Limassol — Magnitude 3.2
A magnitude 3.2 earthquake on the Richter scale was recorded in Cyprus on Wednesday afternoon.
📍 According to the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the tremor occurred at around 16:00:
— approximately 35 km south of Limassol
— and 97 km southwest of Nicosia
🌊 The epicenter was located at sea, with the depth of the quake estimated at around 8 km.
⚠️ Earthquakes of this magnitude are considered weak and are often not felt or pass without causing any damage.
📍 Nevertheless, the region remains seismically active, and similar tremors are recorded here regularly.
There is no reason to panic, but Cyprus occasionally “reminds” everyone that it is located in an active seismic zone.

💊 Asthma Drug Could Unexpectedly Help Fight Aggressive Cancers
Scientists in the United States have made an interesting discovery: montelukast, a medication that has been used for many years to treat asthma and allergies, may help slow the growth of certain aggressive cancers.
🔬 The study showed that some types of cancer can essentially “trick” the immune system and force the body to help tumors grow. Researchers identified a mechanism responsible for this process.
When this mechanism was blocked — including through the use of montelukast:
• tumor growth slowed down;
• the immune system became more active in fighting the disease;
• the effectiveness of immunotherapy improved;
• the effect was seen even in cases where treatment had already stopped working.
The research involved models of:
• breast cancer;
• skin cancer;
• ovarian cancer;
• colorectal cancer;
• prostate cancer.
⚠️ However, there is an important point: these results currently come from laboratory studies and animal testing only. This does not mean that asthma medication can already be used as a cancer treatment.
👉Researchers now need to conduct full clinical trials in humans to determine how effective and safe this method truly is.
But if future results confirm the findings, an already existing and widely used medication could potentially gain a completely new purpose.

🕊 Memorial to Victims of the Pontic Greek Genocide Unveiled in Paralimni
On May 19, Cyprus officially unveiled a national memorial in Paralimni dedicated to the victims of the Pontic Greek Genocide. President Nikos Christodoulides attended the ceremony.
The memorial honors the memory of approximately 353,000 Pontic Greeks — inhabitants of the Black Sea region who faced mass deportations, killings, and forced displacement between 1914 and 1923.
🕯 The monument depicts scenes from those tragic events:
• death marches;
• mass executions;
• destroyed settlements;
• resistance efforts by local people.
🕊 Doves are placed at the top of the memorial as a symbol of peace.
The President of Cyprus stated that the memory of such tragedies must be preserved to ensure that events like these are never repeated.
⚠️ At the same time, the event also triggered political reactions: authorities in northern Cyprus and Turkey once again stated that they do not recognize these events as genocide.
📍 The monument is located in Paralimni, a town in the Famagusta district in southeastern Cyprus.

🏚 Elderly Couple Relocated From House at Risk of Collapse — Returned Two Days Later
In Limassol, district administration officials discovered an elderly couple living in a house that had officially been declared unsafe and at risk of collapse.
⚠️ Under regulations, the residents had to be urgently evacuated. Police arranged temporary accommodation for the couple in Nicosia and transported them there.
But just two days later, the pensioners returned to the dangerous house.
According to authorities, the issue turned out to be much deeper than simply an unsafe building. The couple was relocated, but the larger question — where they should live long term — remained unanswered.
📊 The situation involving dangerous housing in Cyprus is becoming increasingly serious:
• around 780 unsafe buildings have been identified in Limassol alone;
• approximately 80 of them are at immediate risk of collapse;
• across Cyprus, the total number may reach 2,000 buildings.
This couple’s story raises an important question: what should happen to people who are forced to leave dangerous homes when rental housing has become unaffordable for many?

🏥 Patient Faints After Dialysis at Paphos Hospital — No Wheelchair Available
An incident at Paphos General Hospital has sparked renewed discussion about problems within Cyprus’s healthcare system.
A patient with chronic kidney disease reportedly felt extremely weak after a hemodialysis procedure and was barely able to stand.
⚠️ According to relatives, no wheelchair was available for him, so the man had to walk to the car on his own.
On the way, the patient lost consciousness.
Reports say this was not an isolated incident — patients had previously complained about a shortage of wheelchairs and staff at the hospital.
📊 According to the Cyprus Patients Federation:
• the issue is not limited to Paphos;
• public hospitals are experiencing shortages of equipment and personnel;
• dozens of patients face similar difficulties every day.
The incident has once again raised questions about the condition of Cyprus’s public healthcare system and whether basic necessities such as wheelchairs should always be available to patients.

🤔 A Thought That Sparked Debate: Is Truth Stronger Than Bias?
An interesting idea is being discussed in Cyprus: even when people face bias, it does not always work against them.
The authors of the discussion argue that difficult, uncomfortable, and even tough questions can sometimes have the opposite effect — they may actually reveal who is truly confident in what they are saying.
💬 The idea is simple:
• if a position is strong — it can be defended;
• if arguments are real — they can withstand pressure;
• sometimes an uncomfortable conversation reveals the truth better than a friendly discussion.
⚠️ Of course, bias can create a feeling of unfairness. But by itself, it does not change facts or remove the need to explain and support one’s position.
👉 Interestingly, many believe that stressful situations often reveal how sincere and confident a person really is about what they are saying.
