Chalcis
Chalcis (/ˈkælsᵻs/;Ancient Greek & Katharevousa: Χαλκίς, Chalkís) or Chalkida (Modern Greek: Χαλκίδα, [xalˈciða]) is the chief town of the island of Euboea in Greece, is situated on the Euripus Strait at its narrowest point. The name is preserved from antiquity and is derived from the Greek χαλκός (copper, bronze), though there is no trace of any mines in the area. In the late Middle Ages, it was known as Negropont (Italian: Negroponte, "black bridge"), a name that was applied to the entire island of Euboea as well. Its people are known in English as Chalcidians.
History
Ancient Greece
The earliest recorded mention of Chalcis is in the Iliad (2.537), where it is mentioned in the same line as its rival Eretria. It is also documented that the ships set for the Trojan War gathered at Avlis, the south bank of the strait nearby the city. Chamber tombs at Trypa and Vromousa dated to the Mycenaean period were excavated by Papavasiliou in 1910. In the 8th and 7th centuries BC, colonists from Chalcis founded thirty townships on the peninsula of Chalcidice and several important cities in Magna Graecia, such as Naxos, Rhegion and Cumae. Its mineral produce, metal-work, purple and pottery not only found markets among these settlements, but were distributed over the Mediterranean in the ships of Corinth and Samos.

Hello God
by: Dolly PartonHello God are you out there can you hear me are you listening any more
Hello God if we're still on speaking terms can you help me like before
I have questioned your existence my resistance leaves me cold
Can you help me go the distance hello God hello hello
This old world has gone to pieces can we fix it is there time
Hate and violence just increases we're so selfish cruel and blind
We fight and kill each other in your name defending you
Do you love some more than others we're so lost and confused
Hello God are you out there can you hear us are you listening any more
Hello God if we're still on speaking terms can you help us like before
Oh the free will you have given we have made a mockery of
This is no way to be livin' we're in great need of your love
Hello God (hello hello)
Hello God can you grant us love enough to start again
Hello God is there still a chance that we can make amends
Hello God we've learned our lesson dear God don't let us go
Oh now more than ever Hello God. Hello hello
Hello God we really need you we can't make it without you
Hello God we beseech you in the name of all that's true
Hello God please forgive us for we know not what we do
Hello God give us one more chance to prove ourselves to you
