Greek Economy: THE WORST IS YET TO COME ..

This year the country remains in recession sixth year in a row, and ahead of it's citizens stand major new challenges. The trend of closing businesses, strikes, reduced pays and pensions continues in this year as well, and the Greek institutions warn of worsening situation because of rising unemployment and poverty. Greeks are convinced that evil is yet to come.

Sometime before midnight, Thessaloniki Square "Aristotelus". Dozen immigrants, with music from a cell phone, with visible mood jump around the empty stage, on which for the New Year's Eve in the past performances had known Greek singers like Sakis or Despina Wanda ...
Frightened by the frequent attacks of the "Golden Dawn" in Athens, many African immigrants arrived in Thessaloniki, although there is a lot lower earning. They cell ​​CD's or hand-knitted gloves, which no one wants to buy.

"The glamour of the New Year's celebration has been long gone. Now days mostly immigrants  come to the Square. Compared to the countries from which they come from, Greece is still ideal for them, although the Greeks are desperate and without money because of the crisis. The hardest thing is first to have, and than not to have, and they say worst is yet to come" - commented some of the Thessalonians that we met in the square.

The entrance in the new year was symbolically marked with modest firework, which looked more like marking a small wedding. It is cut  on everything.

New 2013 for the majority of Greeks only brings old problems, uncertainty and even more savings and reduced incomes and pensions. Strikes remain commonplace. Communal workers, who didn't collect garbage for days  in Thessaloniki, continued with the strike in the new year, and were joined by the rail workers in the first day of 2013.

Luckiest will be satisfied to preserve their work with reduced salary, no bonuses and additional  working hours for two years until retirement. In the first half of last year, 150.000 Greeks lost  their jobs, information released recently by the European Commission (EC). The country currently faces high unemployment, which reached 26% and is among the highest in the European Union (EU). Estimates are that by the end of this year it can reach up to 30%. Before the crisis it was 7.6%.

An hour after midnight, streets of Thessaloniki were already overflowing with people. Smiling and drunk, they all rushed to their favorite bars and clubs, such is the order, bohemian, in Greek, to celebrate the new year, despite all the negative forecasts for 2013, that Greek newspapers were full of these days.

SIXTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR IN RECESSION

This year the recession in Greece will be worse than what was previously expected, much worse than it was stated in the budget. Greece, which is pressed by debts, will notice higher budget deficit than predicted two months ago. It is expected that the economic activities of the state in 2013 will be reduced by 4.5%, although they were previously projected with a fall of 3.8%.

On the other hand, the Greek government intends to save 9.4 billion euros in 2013, which is significantly more than the 7.8 billion planned by the previous projection. This measure will be implemented through further reductions in state salaries, pensions and benefits.

The country that is in her sixth consecutive year in recession is expected to achieve positive growth even next year. EU in her autumn forecast predicted that Athens in 2014 will have economic growth of 0.6%, and the Greek economy will then sink in about one fifth of the level before the outbreak of the crisis ...

Greek syndrome is eating the Balkan - Greece's collapse will cause a drain of capital from the region?

Greek financial collapse could lead to a severe economic downturn in the region of the Balkans, as well as among other countries which are not in the euro area, but had years of business ties with Greece, warn economic analysts.

No one can predict how events will develop after the parliamentary elections on 17 July in Greece. Fears are not unfounded: Greek banks hold in their hands 15% of the charter capital of credit organizations of neighboring countries. Thus, the primary investments are invested in the economies of Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Albania and Serbia.

Analysts warn of the possibility of a Greek bankruptcy and say that the switch from Euro into Drachma will have negative affect for the business in the region. European Bank for Reconstruction and Development makes a defensive ferrule around Greece, and according to the bank's claims, this could prevent a massive capital drain from the Balkans. Namely, the European Bank reached an agreement with three Austrian banks, large financial investors in the region, for the unfavorable liquidity in Eastern Europe.
Problems arise in the other Western Balkan countries that do not have the Euro, but are financially related with Greece. By itself this means it is possible a deeper crisis in the Balkan countries.
Analysts recall that something similar happened in 2008, when due to the complicated financial situation, the Scandinavian countries withdrew significant funds from banks in the Baltic States, and came to the economic downturn in the region. Because Balkan countries are more unstable in economic terms from the Baltic, the consequences can be very serious.
Analysts believe that the fast transition from Euro to Drachma is not possible. The process will take at least a few years. During that time other foreign banks, among others and Russian, can buy subsidiaries in these countries, and that way replacing the Greek capital.
Experts warn that the outflow of funds to Greece from its Balkan subsidiaries will cause panic among investors and they'll begin to invest in more reliable sources, such as Germany and Switzerland ..

Tattooing - who, what and how?

A tattoo is expensive, painful and permanent. Removing tattoos is more expensive, more painful, and sometimes impossible. For these reasons, inform yourself pretty good about tattooing, and before you decide to visit a tattoo studio, consider the following.

1. CONSIDER GOOD WHICH PART OF THE BODY TO TATTOO

If you don't want your tattoo to have an impact on your life and career (because there are still many people with prejudices, fact) don't tattoo body parts that can not be camouflaged with clothes, such as the hands, neck or face. The part of the body you choose should fit the image that you want on your skin, but should be suitable for covering with clothing (when this you need it).

2. DECISION WHAT TO TATTOO

Tattoos with Chinese, Japanese and Arabic characters are popular, but if you do not understand their meaning, you should not tattoo them, because you are not aware that one letter can have different meanings depending on the context.

3. BE WELL INFORMED WHERE TO PERFORM THE TATTOO

If you don't want to fall into the hands of an amateur who will exercise on you, an artist who is not so talented or with someone whose hygiene is not exactly a strong side with whom you can "attach" an infection, it is best to know someone who has already made ​​his tattoo there.

4. COLLABORATE WITH THE TATTOO ARTIST 

Most of the tattoo artists insist on conversation with the customer prior to tattooing. Do not tighten and just ask anything you would like, but be prepared to accept his suggestions about the colors, shadows, or the size of the tattoo. The more you work with the artist, so your tattoo will be prettier.

5. HYGIENE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

Before the artist starts tattooing, you should insist to show you the sterilized equipment. This is the only way to make sure that you will not get a disease with the tattoo.

6. IT'S GOING TO HURT
If someone told you that tattooing does not hurt - he lied. Okay, the intensity of the pain depends on the size, of the place and the complexity of the tattoo. Those tattoos that are made over the bones and tendons (neck, back and leg ankle), sections with relatively little "meat" (legs, arms, wrists) and places with lots of nerve endings (warts, fingers, face) most hurt.

7. DO NOT TOUCH WHILE IT IS FRESH
The tattoo is a wound like any other. First off, let it dry, and then cover it to protect. No matter how hurts and itch and do not put anything on it, except fat, which for this purpose you have received from your tattoo artist. And most important - do not hands off. You will have it for a lifetime, so be careful not to ruin it.

MEDICAL ASPECTS

Tattooing is a way to decorate the body, but this way of decorating carries many risks. Tattoo means cutting the skin and injection of color in the mesoderm of the skin to make the desired picture.
Infectious diseases, skin problems, allergies, hepatitis, these are just some of the problems that you can have if you have a tattoo.
To reduce the risk of transmission of pathogenic bacteria, the artist who is tattooing must always use sterilized equipment, surgical gloves and masks, new needles, and unused bottles with paint for each new tattoo - none of these things should not be used again and to be shared  on several users.

People with more body tattoos have a higher risk of infection with hepatitis C, and other blood borne pathogens.

Other risks are Hepatitis C, fungal and bacterial infections. Risk also represent the chemicals in the tattoo ink, especially the use of tattoo ink that is not intended. Pigments in the ink used for printing and painting cars. Some of these substances can seriously harm the body, especially the kidneys, lungs and lymph nodes. Allergic reactions may occur several years after the placement of the tattoo.

So, before starting a tattoo, think twice if you really want a tattoo, and especially consider where you will put on your body. If you have decided to have a tattoo, then be careful when tattooing - a man who tattooed you must wear new surgical gloves, mask, and insist needles that will be used to be extracted in front of you, and to properly sterilize all equipment, and the skin where  the tattoo will be drawn to be erased with medical alcohol.
