ATHENS – Greece’s prime minister reiterated on Tuesday that his country is prepared to hold talks with fellow NATO member Turkey about a dispute over maritime boundaries in the eastern Mediterranean.

FILE - In this file photo dated Saturday, Aug. 22, 2020, People walk along the beach in the eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Cyprus police said Sunday Sept. 6, 2020, that four boats carrying Syrian and Lebanese migrants have arrived in waters off the east Mediterranean island nations coastline within a 48-hour span. Some 21 migrants remain aboard a boat that is adrift off Cyprus’ southeastern tip as a result of a faulty engine. European Union member Cyprus and Lebanon have an agreement to curb the arrival of boats loaded with migrants from reaching the island. He said Cyprus’ migrant reception center is reaching its limits amid concerns over sticking to health protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

A hospital in Barcelona is studying how short trips to the beach may help COVID-19 patients recover from long and traumatic intensive hospital care. A medical team at the Hospital del Mar the Hospital of the Seas is seeing if short trips to the beach just across the street can help COVID-19 patients after long and sometimes traumatic ICU stays. In April, the hospital was operating several additional ICU wards and expanded its normal capacity of 18 patients to 67. The team wants to take this anecdotal evidence further, and see whether such outdoor trips can help in the mid- and long-term recovery of COVID-19 patients.

(Turkish Presidency via AP, Pool)ANKARA Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday warned Greece to enter talks over disputed eastern Mediterranean territorial claims or face the consequences.

It was directed against the southern, Greek Cypriot part of the island, where Cyprus' internationally recognized government is seated. Cyprus split in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup by supporters of union with Greece.

Ambassador to Cyprus Judith Garber said the lifting of the embargo strengthens the U.S.-Cyprus security partnership while boosting regional security.

HAHOTRIM BEACH – An international team of researchers says it has discovered a 7,000-year-old-seawall along Israel's Mediterranean coast, providing evidence that coastal communities protected themselves against rising waters even in ancient times. The scientists believe the more than 100-meter-long (110-yard-long) structure acted as a fortification against surging waters and storms. After winter storms along the coast in 2012 and 2015 moved these sediments, the structure was uncovered. He also said there was no sign that the wall extended around the village to defend against land invasions. "But what is interesting is that there was this kind of approach of coastal protection even in the Neolithic,” he said.

Now, a recent study shows people who stick to a Mediterranean diet have better brain function at midlife than those who eat other types of diets. Dr. Lindsay Malone, of Cleveland Clinic, did not take part in the study but said time and time again, the Mediterranean diet comes out on top, because of the nutrients it provides. Researchers found those who closely followed the Mediterranean diet were 46 percent less likely to have poor brain function at midlife than those who ate other diets. She said people who eat the Mediterranean diet tend to have an easier time sticking to it, without feeling deprived, as the diet allows for limited amounts of red wine, dark chocolate and quality dairy. Malone said the cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet is focusing on the quality of what were eating, rather than just the quantity.

When the rigatoni is done, drain and rinse well in cold water, then drain again. Covered and refrigerated, the completed salad will keep for up to 2 days.
