All this little by little reveals the idea behind tri-linear filtering implemented in DeltaChrome: instead of selecting 4 texturing samples from each MIP-level, DeltaChrome can select 16 samples from only one MIP-level and then sum them up with corresponding weight coefficients, so that the obtained result is math1ematically correct and corresponds to the result of "traditional" tri-linear filtering. All the calculations involved into tri-linear filtering algorithms from S3 Graphics are not that complicated, so that even Savage4 learned to perform then within a single pass.
Of course, DeltaChrome can also perform "classical" tri-linear filtering, but their own "home" implementation algorithm boasts a lot of advantages over the traditional ways. First, in any moment of time the pixel pipeline texturing unit requires only one MIP-level for any type of filtering that is why the texturing cache can be used in a more optimal and efficient way. DeltaChrome doesn't have to store two MIP-levels of one texture in the cache, so it can use the available space for additional data from the same MIP-level. This increases the probability that the data requested by the texturing unit in a given moment of time will be already stored in the cache, which will save time and trouble requesting this data from the graphics memory and waiting for it. This definitely reduces the amount of data to be transferred along the memory bus. Second, it is very convenient to use texture compression together with this tri-linear filtering method. For example, the basic S3TC algorithm works exactly with 4x4 texel blocks. Texturing data can be compressed "on the fly", transferred along all channels (even the sampled texturing blocks can be compressed), and unpacked directly before use. It will also significantly reduce the graphics memory bus workload.
Anisotropic filtering as performed by DeltaChrome also boasts a few remarkable peculiarities. The details about anisotropic filtering implementation haven't been made public yet, but we still have the opportunity to evaluate some specific advantages of this algorithm. At first have a look at the screenshots taken in 3DMark 2003, which illustrate the work of bilinear, tri-linear, anisotropic, and a combination of tri-linear + anisotropic filtering algorithms. For your convenience the MIP-levels are highlighted.
Bilinear filtering
S3 Graphics
In case of bilinear filtering DeltaChrome didn't surprise us with anything.
Tri-linear filtering
S3 Graphics
Here DeltaChrome evidently used the "classical" tri-linear filtering algorithm. If it had applied its "own" algorithm, the image would have been just the same as in case of "regular" tri-linear filtering. However, the highlighted MIP-levels would have shown that it has used only bilinear filtering. The explanation of this phenomenon is very simple: since DeltaChrome uses the info taken from only one single MIP-level to perform tri-linear filtering, the "highlights" for different MIP-levels will never get mixed together.

Relationship Between the U.S. Army and NGOs in Africa
By Jim Dolbow
When asked on his command's relationship with the U.S. Public Health Service and NGO's like Project Hope and Operation Smile, MG William "Burke" Garrett III, commanding general, U.S. Army Africa, told USNI Blog:
Yeah, great question. One of the things we're trying to do is build relationships now with organizations that are operating and connecting business in Africa to include nongovernment organizations, humanitarian organizations of all types.
Of course, being a military organization, there's going to be some that are resistant to our outreach and that's entirely understandable. But General Ward has charged us with doing no harm, in terms of interfering with activities in Africa that are being conducted by nongovernment organizations, or other U.S. government agencies and organizations.
So we are very careful in that regard as we move forward. But in many cases, we're trying to get after the same ends in terms of bringing positive change to Africa. And where we can partner, we're certainly interested in doing that. And likewise, we absolutely respect and understand the nongovernment organizations that have no desire to associate with a military organization.
Do no harm sounds good to me. What has been your experience working with NGOs?

Objective: To evaluate a strategy for prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) for infants in Thailand.
Methods: HIV-infected women were offered trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole for PCP prophylaxis for their children at 1–2 months of age. When the children reached 6 months of age, investigators simulated a decision to continue or stop prophylaxis on the basis of clinical criteria, and compared their decisions with results of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for HIV. We calculated the proportions of children who received and completed prophylaxis, and compared the rates of pneumonia and death from pneumonia with rates from an earlier prospective cohort.
Results: Of 395 eligible infants, 383 (97%) started prophylaxis. By 6 months of age, 10 (2.6%) were lost to follow-up, three (0.8%) were non-adherent, seven (2%) had stopped because of adverse events, four (1%) had died, and 359 (94%) still received prophylaxis. At 6 months of age, 30 (70%) of 43 HIV-infected children and 16 (5%) of 316 uninfected children met the clinical criteria to continue prophylaxis. The incidence of pneumonia at 1 to 6 months of age was 22% (15/68) in the earlier cohort, and 13% (6/46) in the recent cohort [relative risk (RR) 0.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.3–1.4;P = 0.22]; mortality rates were 9% and 4%, respectively (RR 0.5; 95% CI 0.1–2.3;P = 0.47).
Conclusion: This PCP prophylaxis strategy appeared to be acceptable and safe, may have reduced morbidity and mortality from pneumonia, and should be considered in developing countries where early laboratory diagnosis of perinatal HIV infection is unavailable.
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is the most common serious opportunistic infection among children infected with HIV in the United States [1]. In Thailand, PCP was the cause of at least one third of the cases of severe pneumonia in HIV-infected children hospitalized at Siriraj Hospital, a large tertiary care hospital in Bangkok [2]. Moreover, presumptively diagnosed PCP was the most common AIDS-defining condition reported for Thai children during 1988–1995 [3].
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended in 1995 that trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole (TMP–SMX) be offered as primary prophylaxis for PCP to all children born to HIV-infected women until HIV infection in the child can be reasonably excluded on the basis of virological tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [4]. This recommendation followed from observations that the incidence of PCP in infants peaks at age 2–6 months, when the HIV infection status of many children is still unknown, the risk of mortality from PCP is high, and the prognosis after PCP is poor [1,4]. Moreover, unlike in adults and older children, PCP may develop in HIV-infected infants who have relatively high CD4 lymphocyte counts, making such counts unreliable as risk markers [5–7].
This recommendation has not been adopted widely in Thailand or other developing countries for several reasons. There is concern that the risk of adverse events may outweigh the benefits, resistance to TMP–SMX could become widespread and diminish its effectiveness in treating common childhood infections, and the cost of universal prophylaxis may be too great. Moreover, the risk : benefit ratio will increase as more children born to HIV-infected women escape HIV infection (and the risk of PCP) because of the increasing use of zidovudine to prevent mother–infant HIV transmission [8]. In addition, because PCR and other tests to diagnose perinatal HIV infection in infancy are not generally available, determining that a child is not infected with HIV requires waiting until the second year of life, when HIV antibody testing is reliable. The time necessary to exclude HIV infection may thus be several times longer than in settings in which PCR testing is available, thereby increasing the costs and the risks of using TMP–SMX for uninfected children who are not at risk of PCP.
The experience at Siriraj Hospital, similar to that in centres in other countries, is that children whose first symptom of HIV infection is PCP are generally younger than 6 months of age [2]. We therefore proposed a strategy for primary PCP prophylaxis, by which all children born to HIV-infected mothers start receiving prophylaxis at 1–2 months of age, and the presence or absence of HIV-related signs or symptoms is used to determine whether to continue or stop prophylaxis at 6 months of age. In this paper, we evaluate the feasibility of this strategy and estimate its impact on preventing pneumonia in HIV-infected children between 1 and 6 months of age.
The evaluation was conducted prospectively at two referral hospitals in Bangkok: Queen Sirikit National Institute for Child Health and Siriraj Hospital, where an estimated one third of HIV-infected children in Bangkok receive care. All infants born to HIV-infected mothers enrolled in a phase III randomized trial of short-course antenatal zidovudine to reduce mother–infant HIV transmission from May 1996 to December 1997 were included in this evaluation [8]. For the trial, infants were seen at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months of age for immunizations and routine child care. HIV–PCR testing was done at birth and at 2 and 6 months of age. HIV-infected women were counselled to avoid breastfeeding and were provided infant formula.
All women were offered TMP–SMX (150 mg of TMP/M2/day in two divided doses three times a week) for their infants at the 1 or 2 month visit, depending on the hospital and the timing of the child's visit, after counselling (Fig. 1). Adherence to prophylaxis (based on self-report and record of medication refills), adverse reactions, HIV-related signs and symptoms, illnesses, and hospitalizations were recorded at each visit as part of routine care. To simulate general practice at these hospitals and in Thailand, in which PCR and other early diagnostic tests are usually not available, PCR results for the infants remained masked until the 6 month visit. At the 6 month visit, each child was evaluated by a physician investigator on clinical criteria and the investigator simulated a decision to continue or stop prophylaxis (Fig. 1). After this decision was recorded, the PCR results were unmasked and the decision could be changed on the basis of these results or the later development of HIV-associated symptoms. If a child had symptoms of HIV infection before 6 months of age and there was a need to know the child's HIV status for clinical management, the investigator would unmask the PCR result after categorizing the child as being symptomatic.
HIV antibody and CD4 T lymphocyte count tests were performed when the children were 12 months old. The decision to continue prophylaxis after this age was based on HIV status, clinical status, and CD4 T lymphocyte count. In general, PCP prophylaxis was continued for children classified as immunological category 3 or clinical category C in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classification system [9].
We measured rates of acceptance of prophylaxis by mothers and completion of PCP prophylaxis until 6 months of age by children. We determined the number of children who stopped taking TMP–SMX because of poor adherence or neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anaemia, haemolysis, rash, or other reasons. For this analysis, a child was considered to be infected if at least one specimen tested positive by PCR, and a child was considered uninfected if the specimen at 6 months of age tested negative by PCR. The simulated decision about prophylaxis, based on clinical criteria (Fig. 1), was compared with the child's infection status, based on PCR results. In addition, each clinical criterion was evaluated for correlation with HIV infection status. The incidences of pneumonia and deaths from pneumonia between 1 and 6 months of age in this population were compared with those in a prospective study in the same hospitals in 1992–1994, when primary PCP prophylaxis was not used [10]. In both studies, pneumonia was usually diagnosed on the basis of clinical examination and chest X-ray. We performed comparative analyses by using chi square and Fisher's exact tests. All P values are two-tailed.
All 395 infants born in this cohort were included in the evaluation (Fig. 2). TMP–SMX prophylaxis was offered for 383 infants. After prophylaxis was begun, 10 (2.6%) children were lost to follow-up before 6 months of age, and three (0.8%) did not take the medication regularly. Seven (1.8%) children, three of whom were HIV infected, stopped prophylaxis before 6 months of age because of adverse events (five with mild rashes, one each with oral ulcers, mild anaemia); all improved promptly after prophylaxis was stopped and all were still free of illness at 12 months of age. Of the four (1%) infants who received prophylaxis and died before 6 months of age, three were HIV infected. None had symptoms suggesting a reaction to TMP–SMX.
Of the 359 children who continued prophylaxis until their 6 month visit, 313 (87.2%) [13 (4.2%) HIV infected] remained asymptomatic (Table 1). One or more signs or symptoms associated with HIV infection developed in 46 (12.8%) children [16 (34.8%) not infected]. On the basis of clinical criteria, 30 (70%) of 43 HIV-infected children, but only 16 (5%) of 316 HIV-uninfected children, would have continued prophylaxis after 6 months of age. The positive and negative predictive values of the clinical criteria for predicting the child's infection status were 65 and 96%, respectively. If individual clinical criteria alone were used to make the decision about prophylaxis at 6 months of age, using the presence of splenomegaly or hepatomegaly would have led to the most 'correct' decisions (Table 2).
Five of the 13 infected children who were asymptomatic at 6 months of age continued to receive prophylaxis on the basis of PCR test results (three children) or restarted prophylaxis before 9 months of age because symptoms had developed (two children). Pneumonia did not develop in any of the 13 children before 12 months of age, although two of the eight who did not continue prophylaxis died, one of Enterobacter cloacae sepsis and one of diarrhoea with shock. All 16 uninfected children with symptoms suggestive of HIV infection stopped prophylaxis after the PCR results were known. There were no problems with TMP–SMX prophylaxis among the 35 HIV-infected children who continued to receive it between 6 and 12 months of age.
Pneumonia developed at between 1 and 6 months of age in six (13%) of the 46 HIV-infected children who received prophylaxis; two of these children died (one at 6 months of age of suspected pneumonia, at a local hospital). The causes of these pneumonias were not determined.
Among the 68 HIV-infected children in the 1992–1994 cohort, the incidence of pneumonia between ages 1 and 6 months was 15 out of 68 (22.1%) [10], compared with six out of 46 (13.0%) in the recent cohort [relative risk (RR) 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.25–1.41, P = 0.22]. The mortality rate from pneumonia between the ages of 1 and 6 months in the previous cohort was six out of 68 (8.8%), compared with two out of 46 (4.3%) in the recent cohort (RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.10–2.34, P = 0.47).
PCP is an important opportunistic infection in HIV-infected children, especially young infants, and is a common cause of death. In Europe and the United States, PCP develops in 12–25% of HIV-infected children during their first year of life [1,5,11], and the reported median survival of children after an episode of PCP is only 19 months or less [1,12]. Because P. carinii seems to be a ubiquitous organism to which all children are exposed, prophylaxis is the most effective way to prevent PCP among those at risk of disease [13]. The use of PCP prophylaxis prolongs time to category C for HIV-infected children [14], decreases the risk of the early death of infants [11], and prolongs the survival of HIV-infected adults [15]. In young infants, however, PCP may develop despite relatively normal CD4 T lymphocyte counts and the absence of symptoms [1,5–7,16], thereby reducing the effectiveness of using clinical or immunological risk markers to guide prophylaxis, a strategy that is effective for older children and adults. This finding led to the 1995 recommendation in the United States to prescribe prophylaxis for all HIV-infected infants in the first year of life [4]. In addition, because PCP may occur before a child's HIV infection status has been determined, these guidelines recommend prophylaxis for all HIV-exposed children until infection can be excluded, even though fewer than 20% of children who receive prophylaxis are HIV infected and are thus at potential risk of PCP.
In Thailand, despite the fact that approximately three times as many children are born to HIV-infected women each year (approximately 15 000) as in the United States (approximately 6000), this approach to primary PCP prophylaxis has not been generally adopted. This is partly because of the unavailability of diagnostic tests to guide decisions about stopping prophylaxis for infants who are not at risk of PCP because they are not HIV infected. The usual practice in hospitals in Thailand is to wait for symptoms of HIV infection to appear before starting prophylaxis. As a result, prophylaxis is not started for many young HIV-infected infants at risk of PCP. To improve PCP prevention in this population, we evaluated a strategy of universal PCP prophylaxis for all HIV-exposed infants during the age of highest risk – 2–6 months of age. Instead of using laboratory tests for HIV infection to guide the decision to stop or continue prophylaxis, we used the presence or absence of HIV-associated clinical findings when the child reached 6 months of age, a strategy that could be useful for Thailand and other developing countries.
On the basis of our evaluation, this strategy seemed acceptable, safe, and helpful in making decisions about prophylaxis. All 383 mothers who were offered prophylaxis agreed, and only 3% adhered poorly to clinic visits or medication. Only 2% of children had to stop prophylaxis because of adverse events, all of which were mild and reversible. In addition, although our ability to determine the efficacy of this strategy was limited and our findings were not statistically significant, the data seem promising. Compared with the incidence in a historical control group, the incidence of pneumonia before 6 months of age was lower by nine cases per 100 HIV-infected children, and mortality as a result of pneumonia was lower by four deaths per 100 HIV-infected children. If this finding represents an actual reduction of pneumonia, it corroborates the findings in one of our hospitals that the incidence of severe pneumonia among HIV-infected children declined after a universal PCP prophylaxis strategy was instituted [2].
Making a clinical decision for children at 6 months of age seems to be an effective tool for continuing prophylaxis for infected children, while excluding low-risk infants from the prolonged use of TMP–SMX. Basing the decision on the presence or absence of one of several clinical findings would have resulted in continuing prophylaxis for most (70%) of the infected children after 6 months of age. Using only the presence of splenomegaly would have resulted in accurate decisions about prophylaxis for 94% of children overall.
Our evaluation had several limitations. We did not examine the effect of this strategy on the development of drug resistance in bacteria or other organisms that cause infections in the population. We also did not examine its cost-effectiveness or effect on the quality of life. We did not have a contemporaneous, randomized control group with which to compare the incidence of pneumonia and death; factors other than PCP prophylaxis may have contributed to the apparent decline in these rates. Moreover, our sample size did not have the statistical power to differentiate effectiveness from chance variation. Finally, the correlation of clinical symptoms with HIV infection status we observed may differ in other populations, and we did not evaluate the ability of providers other than paediatricians to diagnose findings such as splenomegaly.
Nonetheless, the favourable findings may have implications for the care of HIV-exposed children in Thailand and other countries where diagnostic testing and treatment resources are limited. In particular, as more developing countries follow Thailand's lead in implementing perinatal HIV prevention programmes that include routine voluntary HIV counselling and testing during pregnancy [17,18], increasing numbers of HIV-exposed children will be identified and will require care from birth. PCP prophylaxis has become integral to the care of HIV-exposed children in the United States and other countries with substantial healthcare resources. Whether providing PCP prophylaxis for all HIV-exposed children will be adopted in countries with more limited resources will require weighing the probable reduction in morbidity and mortality against the cost (approximately US$3 per treatment to 6 months of age), other potential negative outcomes, such as the development of drug resistance, and the potential decline in the perinatal HIV transmission rate resulting from the introduction of effective interventions. In addition, this approach needs to be evaluated in other settings, especially where other causes of splenomegaly (e.g. thalassaemia, malaria) and other findings may be prevalent and where care is provided by less experienced healthcare workers.

Spice Girl Geri Halliwell Lands Reality TV Show
Former Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell is set to give fans a glimpse into her life after reportedly signing up for her own reality show.
The singer, known as Ginger Spice, has invited cameras for Sky Living to follow her around as she works on different projects.
They will capture Halliwell working on the girl band's upcoming musical, Viva Forever, as well as creating her swimwear range, according to Britain's The Sun.
A source tells the publication, "Geri is keen to do some TV as she's seen the other girls doing bits and bobs. Sky Living reckon she fits their female-skewed brand. Geri is really excited about the project, which is at the very early stages."
Halliwell's former bandmate Melanie Brown has been the subject of her own reality series, Mel B: It's a Scary World, while Victoria Beckham and her family's move to the U.S. was documented in one-off show Coming to America.

Where I stayed
Trenona Farm B&B Truro
On our way home we found a lovely old church called St James the Great,had a little look inside, it has a historic stained glass window which dates back to the 15th century and has been restored in 2005. Well worth it.
Also drove to Truro to have a look. Bigger town with a big cathedral. Have never been to so many churches in my whole life , but they all have something special to see.
A lovely dinner at a restaurant in St Mawes, coffee at the B&B.
Nostalgia day tomorrow to visit an area where Rick has been. What a lovely day again today.

MSN Spaces Install Guide
StatCounter provides free customisable hit counters, visitor tracking, web analytics and website stats for MSN Spaces.
- copy the StatCounter code (highlight + ctrl c)
- visit the page you want to install the counter on e.g. http://spaces.msn.com/members/your_space/
- make sure you are logged in with your .net account and click the "Edit Your Space" link in the side menu to the left
- Click "Add entry"
- Enter a "Title" e.g. StatCounter Counter
- Select a Category if you wish it is not necessary
- Click "HTML Mode"
- Past the code in the text area (ctrl v)
- Click the "Publish Entry" button
Note: MSN Spaces is quite limited in what it allows you to add. Unfortunately you can't customise the layout to include a StatCounter as standard. Thus, the only way to include a counter would be to include the code for it in the blog posts themselves. But if you were to do this, and include it in blog posts, you'd need to ensure that only one blog post on each page has the StatCounter code - if multiple blogs on a page had the code, it would count each visitor multiple times.
As you can see, it's not an ideal solution, but unfortunately it appears to be the only way to use a service like StatCounter with MSN Spaces. We'd highly recommend considering a service like www.blogger.com, which allows for more freedom in customising.

This Feta Bulgur Wheat Salad with Lemon Sirloin Steak is one of our latest grilled meals. Lean cuts of sirloin steak are grilled and then finished with a drizzle of grilled lemon juice. The steaks are thinly sliced and served over a salad made from Hodgson Mill Bulgur Wheat with Soy, tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese. Bulgur wheat is whole wheat that's been precooked (steamed) then dried and cracked. Hodgson Mill's version helps give these whole grains a hearty 10 grams of protein per serving which means that a little bit of meat in this meal will go a long way since there's plenty of additional protein in the salad.

I think I've found my new favorite hot cereal. You'll remember in my earlier post for Lemon Dill Bulgur Salad with Chickpeas, Cucumber and Feta Cheese that I've discovered the wonders of Hodgson Mill Bulgur Wheat with Soy. In that same post I alluded to a great way to use bulgur wheat as a hot cereal – and here it is: hot cooked Hodgson Mill Bulgur Wheat mixed with brown sugar and toasted walnuts and topped with slices of banana. As tasty as this combination is, we won't stop here – no, no. We're going to put some Greek yogurt, mixed with honey and cinnamon, on top of it all. And so, may I present: Banana-Nut Bulgur Wheat Hot Cereal with Cinnamon-Honey Yogurt. Delicious, easy and so good for you – you simply must make this. Read More »
I enjoy a good salad as much as the next person, but I need it to include protein to keep me satisfied and help me avoid snacking ten times before dinner. So, to create a delicious, protein-packed, spring-inspired lunch, I used Hodgson Mill Bulgur Wheat as the basis of my salad. In case you weren't sure, bulgur wheat is whole wheat that's been precooked (steamed) then dried and cracked. Hodgson Mill's version helps give these whole grains a hearty 10 grams of protein per serving. Read More »

The Greece we love celebrates August 15th
August 15 or "Dekapentavgoustos" is the third most important holiday for the Greek Orthodox after Easter and Christmas. Often called the Small Easter, August 15 observes the dormition of Virgin Mary and her ascent to heavens. This day is celebrated throughout Greece with a variety of festivities (panigyria) and family gatherings following the solemn church services. Those named Panagiotis, Despoina, Maria and Panagiota celebrate their nameday on August 15.

Taste of Greece at Aldemar Hotels
Healthy Greek eating, plus new 'sushi corners' & 'healthy breakfast corners'
Taste of Greece at Aldemar Hotels
HOLIDAYMAKERS are treated to the very best of gourmet Greek cuisine at Aldemar Hotels (www.aldemarhotels.com) as well as international flavours such as Japanese, Italian and French, across the many restaurants at their hotels in Crete, Rhodes and the Peloponnese.
The emphasis in all of their restaurants is on good quality ingredients sourced locally to produce dishes that are both healthy and reflect the local specialities of Greece, in particular Cretan cuisine that is renowned world-wide for its health benefits that promote longevity. The restaurants also offer locally produced drinks from wine to raki – ideal accompaniments to the Greek dishes they serve.
At their flag ship hotel, the 5* Royal Mare Hotel in Crete for instance the experienced chefs derive their inspiration from classical Cretan recipes using local ingredients such as anthotyro cheese, olive oil, wild greens, rosemary, vine leaves and rock fish to create mouth watering dishes. Guests interested in combining thalassotherapy with a wholesome diet also have the option of 'Spa Cuisine' where well-designed menus made up of natural ingredients are specially prepared for them.
New for 2010 are their "sushi corners" and "healthy breakfast corners" that are available at all the main restaurants across the group – in keeping with Aldemar's philosophy to cater for guests that are into a healthy lifestyle.
Aldemar Hotels recognised the growing interest in Japanese food from health conscious people and have introduced the sushi corners to offer this speciality that is perfect for a light snack or something more substantial.
In addition they are opening a sushi restaurant at the Royal Mare property on Crete (as an extension of the fabulous à la carte restaurants at the same location). The decor will be Eastern-influenced – and the menu will feature sushi and other mouth-watering influences from the world of Asian cuisine.
Aldemar Hotels is also in the process of creating "healthy corners" which will exclusively offer diners sensible eating choices at breakfast that are both tasty and well-balanced and will include options such as low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese, turkey, muesli, smoothies, fresh juices, dry fruits and no-sugar jams. These breakfasts are ideal for those watching their weight or following one of the spa programmes whilst in holiday.
Holidaymakers that are on a budget but also want to take advantage of the fabulous cuisine that Aldemar Hotels offer can opt for one of the three all-inclusive properties that the group offers – one in Crete and two in Rhodes – to enjoy top class facilities and delicious food without the worry about overspending on their holiday money!
Greece, a safe and beautiful country
Dear colleagues and Friends,
The unfortunate events of yesterday leave us with sorrow and unanswered questions.
A peaceful protest around the parliament grew out of proportion because of a handful of young warm blooded youngsters. They will answer for their crimes.
Unfortunately for the rest of the Greek population, we are, since yesterday, hammered by the vast majority of the international media that present this as a national issue. It is not! Ask yourself how many different images did you see, where these pictures and videos were taken and how extensive was this protest really.
Greece in an economic downturn and you wouldn't expect the Greek people to stay back and watch. People have a natural urge to question any change in their life. What the Greek Government has decided is for the best for the Greek and European economy, for the stability of the region and to test the very foundations of the European Union. Greece is in economic distress. Yes. It will, for certain, cause distress and protests amongst the people, until it is fully absorbed. But… in a very small part of the population that cannot grasp in its totality the issues faced by our Country. The issues do not extend in the islands, not in the province and not away from where the Government exercises its power to change. A government that tries to undo the wrongs of many decades in only a small period of time. One should not generalize, as the wrongs are usually the handiwork of just a few people.
Greece remains a safe and beautiful country to live in and to travel to. The sun is still shinning and more than one million Greek inhabitants look forward to offering their services to our guests. The tourist destinations saw the protests in Athens through the Television, and were not affected whatsoever by them.
We count on our tourism to spread the message, that Greece is the Small paradise in the southern of Europe with the islands, the beaches and the fun still playing a key role to our culture and economy. The same smile and warmth will be here to welcome you for your dreamy vacations.
Ask yourself… don't just read someone else's views!
