Xenia (hotel)
Xenia (Ξενία) was a nationwide hotel construction program initiated by the Hellenic Tourism Organisation (Ελληνικός Οργανισμός Τουρισμού, E.O.T.) to improve the country's tourism infrastructure in the 1960s and 1970s. It constitutes one of the largest infrastructure projects in modern Greek history.
History
Until the 1950s, Greece featured only a few major hotels, mostly situated in the country's great cities, and a few smaller ones in islands like Corfu or Rhodes. In 1950, EOT began a program to construct and operate hotels across the country, especially in the less-travelled areas. Locations were specially selected and the architecture combined local knowledge with standardized elements. The buildings were embedded in the landscape, but at the same time followed a modernist style.
The first manager of the project was the architect Charalambos Sfaellos (from 1950 to 1958) and from 1957 the buildings were designed by a team under Aris Konstantinidis. Many private hotel projects in Greece were inspired by the Xenia hotels and the program had reached its aims in the early 1970s. In 1974 the construction program was complete. The Xenia program itself was officially terminated in 1983, and the hotels were given over to private operators or eventually sold off.
Xenia (plants)
Xenia (also known as the Xenia effect) in plants is the effect of pollen on seeds and fruit of the fertilized plant. The effect is separate to the contribution of the pollen towards the next generation.
The term was coined in 1881 by the botanist Wilhelm Olbers Focke to refer to effects on maternal tissues, including the seed coat and pericarp, but at that time endosperm was also thought to be a maternal tissue, and the term became closely associated with endosperm effects. The term metaxenia was later coined and is still sometimes used to describe the effects on purely maternal tissues.
Endosperm effects in the seed
One of the most familiar examples of xenia is the different colours that can be produced in maize (Zea mays) by assortment of alleles via individual pollen grains. Such maize cobs are cultivated for decorative purposes.
The endosperm tissue, which makes up most of the bulk of a maize seed, is not produced by the mother plant, but is the product of fertilization, and genetic factors carried by the pollen affect its colour. For example, a yellow-seeded race may have its yellow colour determined by a recessive allele. If it receives pollen from a purple-seeded race that has one copy of a dominant allele for purple colour and one copy of the recessive allele for yellow seed, the resulting cob will have some yellow and some purple seeds.

Sing You Home - EP
by: XeniaYou know, just how to take me there
And I know, I would go anywhere
But when times become hard
And we're left with the scars
And we're all bent up
It's so good to let go and run into your arms
Yeah it's just enough
So I'm counting on the stars to take me near or far
Travel any day, light years to find you
Anywhere you go, only to be close
Believe me I will roam for light years to find you
Light years to find you
You got every little bit of me
And I got this feeling it's meant to be
Not a word not a phrase
Not a night not a day
Could keep me away
I don't know where we'll go
What this ticket will hold
But that's okay
So I'm counting on the stars to take me near or far
Travel any day, light years to find you
Anywhere you go, only to be close
Believe me I will roam for light years to find you
Light years to find you
Light years to find you
I have one condition alone in my head
Just one decision, I have no regrets
I've made my prediction to end up with you
Runnin' and runnin' and runnin' and runnin'
Counting on the stars
To take me near, near or far
So I'm counting on the stars to take me near or far
Travel any day, light years to find you
Anywhere you go, only to be close
Believe me I will roam for light years to find you
Light years to find you
Light years to find you
Oh oh oh oh
Light years to find you
