More than 2,000 years ago, China's First Emperor built a burial complex guarded by a large terracotta army, intended to protect him in the afterlife. Now, some of those warriors are making the journey to Chicago's Field Museum in their latest exhibition. China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors, opening March 4, 2016. This Exhibition Marks Warriors Return to Chicago First Time in 30 Years.
The exhibition features more than 170 objects including stunning bronze artifacts, weaponry, and ten of the famed terracotta figures. Terracotta Warriors will introduce visitors to Qin Shihuangdi (chin she-wong-dee)—China's First Emperor—who united a country and built an army to last an eternity.
China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors was organized by The Field Museum in partnership with the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, Shaanxi Cultural Heritage Promotion Center and Emperor Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Army Museum of the People's Republic of China. Major sponsors: Discover, Exelon.
An Emperor's Rise to Power and Lasting Influence
One of greatest archeological finds of the 20th century, the terracotta army, was created by Qin Shihuangdi, the First Emperor of China.
His rise to power in 221 BC ended an era known as the "Warring States" period, during which China was composed of seven competing states, and was marked by instability and broken alliances. Qin Shihuangdi used an organized military, superior weapon technology, and a strong cavalry to defeat his enemies and establish a unified state. During your visit to the exhibition, you'll discover crossbow bolts and a reconstructed wooden crossbow. This weapon revolutionized warfare, allowing archers to shoot nearly 900 yards, with less skill and strength than was needed for a bow and arrow. You will also encounter other weapons used by Qin military forces, including a long, chrome-plated sword, lance heads, dagger - axes, and spears.
Although the First Emperor's reign was relatively short, he enacted several important innovations that left a lasting impression on China. Many of these are still evident today.
He worked to strengthen his newly founded empire by building a great wall (the pre -cursor to China's "Great Wall") to protect his land in the north and west. In an effort to increase trade, he constructed new roads and canals and even regulated cart axles so that wheels uniformly fit the newly constructed roads.
In order to rule effectively, a single currency, a standard form of writing, and a standardized system of weights and measures were all put into place. Examples of these innovations are all on display within the exhibition, including several Qin banliang (ban - lee -ang) coins — round coins each with a square hole—as well as a mold used to mass -produce these coins. This coin type became the standard form of Chinese currency for the next 2,000 years.
An Emperor's Final Resting Place
Even though the Emperor made public improvements in his country, he was not without enemies; three unsuccessful assassination attempts increased his fear of death and drove
his quest for immortality. With death constantly on the Emperor's mind, and a desire to rule forever, Qin Shihuangdi began constructing a palace for his afterlife and instructed craftsman to make a terracotta army to protect him after his death.
For more than 30 years, legions of workers contributed to this massive undertaking — some even paying with their life. Around this underground palace were representations of the Emperor's officials, warriors, buildings, parks, and animals —everything he would need to carry on his rule without end. The First Emperor even included what are believed to be acrobats, musicians, and exotic animals in his tomb to provide entertainment.
After the Emperor's death, the terracotta warriors, generals, and others lay buried until 1974, when a farmer digging a well discovered them. Although the tomb itself was known historically and was visible on the landscape, the vast burial complex surrounding the site had been unknown until then. Archaeologists began work excavating the site, a process that continues today. Hundreds of pits, covering an area of nearly 22 square miles, have been located so far, and it is estimated that more than 8,000 figures were buried at the site.
Terracotta Warriors has nine full - size human figures, including several warriors, a general, an acrobat, and an official, on display as well as one life - size horse. Although most of the clay figures have lost the bright hues of their original paint and only provide faded glimpses of the way the army looked during the Emperor's lifetime, you will encounter two replica warriors, painted in the vivid purple, teal, and red that the terracotta army wore.
Excavations continue today, but the central tomb of Qin Shihuangdi remains sealed. Stories tell of a celestial ceiling mapped out in pearls and a mercury river, but none of these written accounts have been confirmed. Visitors to the exhibition will learn about the scientific investigations hoping to shed light on the mysteries of the tomb.
Tickets to China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors are included in blockbuster - priced Discovery and All - Access passes to the Museum. Special discounts available for Chicago residents.

The density of matter is what makes it more or less malleable… able to adapt to its surroundings or environment.. to change shape…
What about dense people? They are stuck. So absorbed in themselves that they fail to see the other side of anything. They fail to see (or care) about any other agenda.
A simple, "how was your day" would be nice. A simple, "good morning" would be nice.
Small, simple things that mean more than anything. It is NOT complicated. There isn't more to it, it goes back to just…. be nice. Give respect and courtesy to all people. Family, friends…most strangers.
I find myself in the same position I was a year ago and I guess I am finding myself in the same predicament… to move on or hang on?
It is hard. Hard to think that the cycles of my life have brought me back to the same place. It may be the same place but I feel different. It doesn't make it easier. I want to believe that I am seeing things wrong, I want to believe that my perceptions are skewed and that the reality of the situation is something different than what I think I am seeing. I want to believe that
Am I trying to force myself into something again? Am I pushing things? I don't understand the "distance" thing. I never have. Wanting to be with someone but then pushing them away – but keeping them just close enough to get back if you want to. I feel like a fish on a REALLY long line. Sometimes the line gets pulled in tight and sometimes the line goes all the way out to sea 😦
Maybe I am struggling? I don't feel like I am putting up a fight. What happens to a fish that doesn't struggle? It's no fun to catch. Perhaps that is the problem. I am too easy. Too easy to reel in …
It's all one big game. But isn't life just one big game anyway? Should I be concerned? Should I stop worrying and thinking about it? Should I stop noticing little things ??
This is ridiculous. I deserve to be treated like I am special, because I am. I want to feel like my boyfriend is MY BOYFRIEND. Just because he "isn't feeling it" that day – doesn't mean he can treat me differently day to day. That's exactly what is going on. Whatever inner turmoil is going on with him, he wants me but he doesn't???? I don't know. Too much thinking about this stupid crap.
I am tired. I am tired of all of it. I am exhausted. I can't tell if I am happy or not. I suppose I am in the same boat then. I am basing my happiness too much off getting positive attention from my boyfriend…but what the hell is the point of a boyfriend if they hardly kiss you, don't like to cuddle….
I read an interesting article: http://primal-page.com/cuddle.htm
This put some things into perspective…. it's just not easy 😦

This project has been put on hold in view of the fact that it snowed here and that has been our major focus today!
But here are some idea dresses:
Oh, it's not a dress, but very cute! Just for fun.
And this is sort of plain, but might help me figure some stuff out.
I love the black trim on this one.
And this one is adorable, but I'd have to cut up the entire shirt to make the ruffles!

Thanos May Be Returning to Fortnite…Soon
Marvel fans who play Fortnite will probably remember the Limited-Time Mode back in Season 4 when Avengers: Infinity War was arriving in theaters that spawned the Infinity Gauntlet on the map, and whoever found it could play as Thanos. Well, there's a slight possibility that the LTM may be coming back, as Epic is making some modifications to the Thanos files.
One of Thanos' ability was a laser beam, and in the 6.2 Fortnite files the icon for that ability has been updated.
If they're updating files from a past LTM, it's possible that it's going to come back in some way. Some people think it could be that they would add the Infinity Gauntlet to Playground, but the other possibility is even cooler.
With the Avengers: Annihilation trailer expected to arrive at some point in November, it's possible that they're going to bring back the Thanos LTM to coincide with the release of the first trailer. And if they're updating the Thanos files right now, it could mean that's coming very soon.

A small group of islands in the Gulf of Guinea, São Tomé e Príncipe is among the world's least developed counties (LDC). The economy is heavily dependent on plantation agriculture, with cocoa representing the bulk of exports.
Its national currency (Dobra) was secured in January 2010 with the Euro via an agreement with Portugal which helped contain inflation. The country is politically stable and it is following an active strategy to reduce poverty. EU support focuses on improving the state of national road networks and ports (10th EDF) and water and sanitation (11th EDF).
The Country Strategy Paper for São Tomé e Príncipe (2008-2013) and a multi-annual indicative programme detail priorities for €18.2 million of funding under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF).
The focus was on maintenance of transport infrastructure (both paved and unpaved roads) and the technical studies for upgrading of port facilities. Additional funding has been available to improve public sector institutions and to support the implementation of the Economic Partnership Agreement – a free trade area with Central Africa – to assist the regional integration process.
The country also benefits from the EU's cooperation programme for Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP). In addition, São Tomé e Príncipe received €1.7 million of funding under the EU's Millennium Development Goal (MDG) initiative to reduce maternal and child mortality.
For the 11th EDF (€28 millions), the main intervention sector focuses on water and sanitation. Furthermore, a specific programme will support the strenghtening of agricultural exports.
All EU activities in São Tomé e Príncipe take account of cross-cutting issues such as good governance, gender, the environment and human rights.

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a new display technology that is brighter, more efficient, thinner and feature better refresh rates and contrast than an LCD display. OLEDs deliver the best picture quality ever and are used in high-end smartphones and tablets.
The idea of an OLED monitor is exciting consumers as such a device will offer an unparalleled viewing experience and a thin form factor. But OLED monitors are not on the market yet. This article will explain the benefits, the current status and the future of OLED monitors.
Why is an OLED monitor better than an LCD one?
- OLED provide a better image quality with a much higher contrast (true blacks), wide color gamut, better viewing angles and a much faster refresh rate
- OLED panels are much thinner and lighter compared to LCD panels
- An OLED monitor would consume less power - as only lit pixels draw energy on OLED displays. An almost black screen will require very little power
- An OLED monitor could be flexible or even transparent
OLED monitors and the burn-in challenge?
Of course OLED technology is not perfect. One of the major drawbacks of an OLED display is image retention / burn-in. In an OLED display each pixel is driven independently and each pixel ages differently - the brightness is reduced with use. To put it simply - a pixel that was used a lot will be less bright than a pixel that hasn't been driven as much.
For mobile phones and TVs this is less of a problem - but in a computer user interface many UI elements are quite fixed (toolbars, icons, etc) which means that burn-in is a real problem. There are some technologies to handle this problem - for example by measurement and compensation, and the lifetime of OLED displays is improving all the time. In addition user-interface designers can design a user interface that will be more suited for OLED displays.
OLED monitors on the market
After years of waiting and seeing OLEDs adopted in a wide range of devices such as mobile phones, tablets, TVs and wearables, in early 2016 Dell announced the world's first OLED monitor, the Ultrasharp UP3017Q. This a 30" was supposed to launch in March 2016 for $4,999 - but Dell reportedly scrapped plans for this product. In April 2017, though, Dell brought the UP3017Q back and started shipping it for $3,499.
In early 2018 Asus announced its OLED monitor, the ProArt PQ22UC which features a 21.6" 3840x2160 (204 PPI) OLED display. The display is provided by JOLED using its ink-jet printing process. In March 2019 Asus started to ship the PQ22UC, starting in the UK where the price is set at for £4,529 (!) which would make the US price at around $5,000.
For the professional market, Sony is offering several monitors in several sizes (from 7.4" to 30") and in several series. Sony already sold over 15,000 professional OLED monitors, and their latest monitor is the 30" 4K BVM-X300. These are professional monitors, though, aimed for broadcasting and post production applications.

DSCC: AMOLED revenues to reach over $52 billion in 2023
DSCC says that OLED market revenues will grow from $26.5 billion in 2018 to $28.7 billion in 2019 and over $52 billion by 2023. The largest application will remain smartphone displays, but several other applications will generate over $1 billion in 2023 - TVs, tablets, notebooks and monitors. By area of production, TV displays will surpass smartphone displays in 2021.
Samsung is still (and will remain so) the dominant AMOLED display producer, even though its market share will drop from 97% in Q1 2018 to 81% in Q4 2019. In Q1 2019 Visionox surpassed LGD to become the 2nd largest AMOLED producer (but most of Visionox's panels are low-end 5.5-inch panels). DSCC expects LGD to regain its number 2 position in the second half of 2019. BOE is the third player and will remain so following its supply agreement with Huawei.
ASUS finally starts shipping its ProArt PQ22UC 21.6" 4K printed OLED monitor
In early 2018 ASUS announced the Asus ProArt PQ22UC- a 21.6" 4K (204 PPI) ultra-portable OLED monitor, and now the company finally started shipping the new device - starting in the UK where the price is set at for £4,529 (!) which would make the US price at around $5,000.
The OLED display in ASUS' monitor produced using an ink-jet printing process by JOLED - which would make this the world's first ink-jet printed OLED product. JOLED's production capacity is not large, the company is still using a pilot-scale line, but it's likely that Asus is not expecting to sell many units of this high-end OLED monitor with that price tag...
Nanosys expects to show working emissive QD-LED displays by the end of 2019
HDTVTest posted an interesting interview with Cadmium-Free QD developer Nanosys CEO and president Jason Hartlove. In this long interview Jason discusses the company's technology and recent achievements.
Jason reveals that the company is working on emissive Quantum Dots displays - and he expects to have a full-color monitor-size QLED display prototype ready by the end of 2019. Jason says that they hope to show these display prototypes in private demos at CES 2020.
Dell announces new OLED laptops and a 55" gaming OLED monitor
Dell announced that its premium 15" laptops will all get an optional OLED display in 2019. The Dell XPS 15, Dell G7 15 and the Alienware m15 will all offer a 15" OLED display that features HDR, a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and 100,000:1 Contrast Ratio.
The new 15" Dell OLED laptops will start shipping in March 2019. That's great news from Dell, and it's a great start for 2019 as it seems to be poised for an OLED laptop comeback.
Watch JOLED's new ink-jet printed OLED monitor and display prototype in action
Earlier this month JOLED unveiled new display prototypes at FineTech Japan. Today we have received this interesting new video from JOLED that shows the displays in action:
In the video you can see all of JOLED's new prototypes. First up is the Automotive demo - JOLED demonstrated two panels, a 12.3" 1920x720 (167 PPI) panel and a 12.2" 1920x1280 (180 PPI) panel. Both are printed on LTPS backplanes (as do the rest of the company's small and medium sized panels). JOLED's latest investors, Denso and Toyoto Tsusho, are both helping the company with its entry into the automotive display market.
DSCC: the OLED market will grow 19% in 2019 to reach $31 billion in revenues
DSCC estimates that the AMOLED market will grow 19% in 2019 to reach $31 billion, up from $26.5 billion in 2018. OLED revenues will continue to grow and reach $48.8 billion in 2022 (a CAGR of 16%).
Looking at OLED unit shipments and area production, 2019 will see a 22% growth in unit shipments to 610 million panels and a 35% growth in area to 9 million square meters. Area shipments will grow faster than revenues as OLED selling prices will continue to decline - and as OLED TVs take up a larger share of the OLED market.
Samsung progresses with its inkjet printing OLED technology, to apply it to next-generation monitors and laptops
According to ETNews, Samsung Display has made significant progress with its OLED ink-jet printing process technology, and the company now aims to apply this technology to produce medium-sized panels for OLED laptops and OLED monitors. Samsung may also use this process to produce smaller tablet displays.
It seems that Samsung is aiming to settle on three main next-generation OLED technologies - evaporation (FMM) OLEDs for small-sized display, ink-jet OLED deposition for medium-sized panels and hybrid QD-OLEDs for large-area OLED TV panels. It's other display technologies are QD-LEDs for TVs and Micro-LEDs for next-generation small and large area displays.
Here are JOLED's new OLED display prototypes
Japan-based printed OLED developer JOLED demonstrated several new OLED displays at Finetech Japan last week. We already posted on these new OLEDs, and now we have photos of the new panels.
So first up is JOLED's first OLED TV panel. The 55" 4K (3840x2160, 80 PPI) panel offers a 120Hz refresh rate and a color gamut of 100% DCI (135% sRGB) and is printed on JOLED's Transparent Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor (TAOS) backplane.
JOLED to show new printed OLED monitors and TV prototypes at Finetech Japan
Last month Japan-based printed OLED developer JOLED announced that it will demonstrate new OLED prototypes (including a 55" printed OLED TV) at Finetech Japan, which starts tomorrow (December 5). Today JOLED detailed the new panels it will have on display at the trade show.
So first we have two automotive displays - a 12.3" HD OLED and a 12.2" flexible (curved ) Full-HD OLED. JOLED's latest investors, Denso and Toyoto Tsusho, are both helping the company with its entry into the automotive display market.
AUO to establish an OLED ink-jet production line, to make OLEDs for monitors and automotive applications
According to reports from China, Taiwan-based AU Optronics decided to establish an inkjet OLED production line that will be used to produce OLED monitor displays and OLEDs for automotive applications.
The new OLED line will use production equipment made by Japan's JOLED - who started commercial low-volume production of its own 21.6" 4K OLED panels, at the company's pilot 4.5-Gen line. JOLED also announced plans for a mass production 5.5-Gen line that will be established in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, by 2020, and similarly to AUO, it is focusing on monitors and automotive applications.

"Mind". The word itself is enough to leave thousands of us blank for the fact that either we do not know anything about it or we have heard every possible notorious thing about mind's powers.
Mind is the one of the most powerful elements of human beings. Human beings are blessed with a mind. Animals, birds and plants are happy without it. Mind does not have a shape or a size. It does not have a particular location in our body. It is ethereal, celestial. The journey from Mind to No – Mind state is the ultimate journey, the biggest ecstasy ever known to humans.
Mind keeps wandering in past and future like a pendulum. It cannot stay in the present. Your being and your body are always in the present. Your body shares one great thing in common with your being which is that they both reside in the present time. Mind cannot reside in the present. It is either roaming in the past (memories)or in the future (imaginations). Mind's entire power is to move to and fro between these time extremes.
Start practising silence. By Silence I mean the silence of body and the mind. Sit silently for a few minutes everyday. Neither your body nor the mind should move. Do not let your mind wander with random thoughts like dry leaves in the air. Do not let your body move. It would be difficult in the beginning, but as your continue practicing, you will learn to be silent everytime. The rhydhm will be unstoppable. It will go and on. If you achive that state, a transformation will occur which will purify you completely. After reaching this conscious state of being completely present and with no mind, you will transform all other beings who happen to come in your aura. A magnetic field will surround you all the time.
Achieving this is not difficult. Try and practise yourself. Teach your mind to be silent. Slowly it will start listening to you. However a guide (guru) is greatly appreciated. I have found none myself so far, but an expert conscious master will be a boon for your path.
All the moments we live are dying every moment. Every moment the last moment dies forever and the new one starts. It dies even before you have lived enough of it. Utilize every moment. Time once gone is gone forever. Take out few moments everyday for yourself, for your being. Feel your existence. Get it tune with it, slowly you will realize you are gaining bliss. This will start trasforming you. You can call it mesmerisation, charisma, transformation, ecstasy, bliss, enlightenment, nirvana or any other name you like to give it.
Future is unseen, unpredictable, unrealizable, unstoppable, uncontrollable. There is no meaning in wandering meaning less thoughts for the future which is going to come in its own way. Accept life as it comes. Learn to enjoy and live every moment. Live your life in a such a complete manner so that there are no regrets left even if you died this very moment.
Do not post things for tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes and with your mind in place, it really never comes. Trust me, there is always a new set of problems posed before when you are in tomorrow. Learn to deal with today and this moment. Remember, its here and now or its nowhere and never.

With Josh Lee (Saints) and Josh Crotty (Bellarine), both conjuring up terrific starts, this game remained an arm wrestle until the top of five – when the Bellarine strolled away with a three-spot that spelled trouble for an East Belmont outfit that surely had memories of two thumpings they had received at the hands of the Bears already this season.
While Saints responded with a run and the two clubs traded scoring blows in the seventh, a two-run break going into the bottom of the last inning of what had been of a terrific defensive game would have presaged – for most – an honourable loss for the haloes, but surely no cigar.
The Saints had another vision and clearly had another scenario in mind, as a lead-off walk was backed up by a Coleby Alldis single followed by a sacrifice bunt that placed runners at second and third with one out – an opportunity exploited by Luke Sherwell (with an RBI-double) before the decisive, match-winning blow was delivered by Hiro Sekine in the form of a single base hit into centrefield that plated two and handed the Saints a stunning win over a deflated Bellarine.
Both pitchers – Josh Lee and Josh Crotty – went deep into the contest, and both sides enjoyed scoring opportunities provided by the likes of the Bears' Matt Sage (three hits and an RBI), Cameron Brown (three and one) and Chris Barker (two and one), while Hiro Sekine (four hits and three RBIs) was indeed the – ahem – hero for Saints, along with Sherwell (two and one) and manager Charles Thompson (two hits).
Buoyant after two big wins on the trot, Saints may fancy their chances at home to Guild on Saturday, while Bellarine – suitably chastened after a last-gasp loss to the haloes – will be away to Deakin for what should be a spirited Sunday clash at Deakin University.
Bellarine remains in the post season hunt and currently sits at third on the ladder. The East Belmont Saints improved their post season chances having inched closer to the Deakin Blues who play at the Deakin Sports district at Deakin University.

Roger Bannister completed the sub-4 minute mile 63 years ago and since then, the running world has focused on completing a marathon in under 2 hours. That's been no easy feat, as accomplishing that record would mean a pace of 4.5 minutes each mile for 26.2 of them. It's an obsession with pushing the limits of human athleticism that's driven both Nike and adidas to compete with their latest models in honor of the coming marathon season. The three stripes unveiled their adidas adiZero Sub2 Marathon Shoe featuring Boost cushioning, and now Nike has answered the call with the Nike Zoom VaporFly Elite. The model is aimed at redefining speeds on the road through a responsive cushioning system and lightweight knit upper that completely reshapes the way we think about running models.
The Swoosh started with a less is more motto but that quickly transformed into a 'more is more' echo. More research, more data, more individual designs based on specific athlete's foot structure. Nike cut down on the actual cushioning throughout but sought to maximize the areas where energy return would benefit. What resulted was the ZoomX midsole, a painstakingly researched process as part of Nike's Breaking2 platform in order to break the two-hour marathon barrier. Traditional racing shoes feature a flat, low profile but the Zoom VaporFly Elite changes that form through traditional foams rising higher than ever at 21mm. Hidden inside is a unidirectional carbon fiber plate while the heel juts out to help a specific geometric fit to reduce running stiffness.
Check out more photos of this concept marathon runner below, and while we might have to wait until we see this pair actually hit retailers given the custom form of the concept, you can check out more of the future of Nike Zoom Running over on Nike News.

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Jean de La Haye (Jesuit Biblical scholar)
La Haye, Jean de, Jesuit Biblical scholar, b. at Bauffe, Hainault, September 26, 1540; ci. at Douai, January 14, 1614. The Jesuit catalogue of admission makes Douai his birthplace. The Belgian poet-historian, Philippe Brasseur, devotes five distichs to Father de La Haye in "Sydera Illustrium Hannoniae Scriptorum" (p. 135), and says the great scholar was born at Bauffe, and made his early studies at Chievres near by. De La Haye entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus on February 13, 1565. After the usual training in the spiritual life, the classics, philosophy, and theology, he entered upon his life-work, and taught philosophy and Sacred Scripture at Louvain and Douai. The works of de La Haye that made his reputation as a Biblical scholar, are his Gospel harmony and commentaries. "Evangelistarum Quaternio" (Douai, 1607), is a harmony of the four Gospel narratives; the words of each Evangelist are retained and set in what the author deemed to be the historical order of the life of Christ. "Triumphus Veritatis Ordinati Evangelii Quadriga Invectae, Sanctorum Patrum Exercitu Stipatae" (2 vols., Douai, 1609) is a Gospel commentary quaintly entitled "the triumph of truth borne in upon the four-horsed chariot of the Gospel-harmony and backed up by the army of the Fathers". The array of citations from the Fathers is a veritable and a redoubtable array, which makes it regrettable that this rare old book has not been reissued. "Apparatus Evangelicus" (Douai, 1611) gives a scientific treatment of the moot questions in regard to the Four Gospels.

Greece is located in the South Eastern Europe and shares its borders with Albania, Bulgaria and Turkey. Greece has a land area of 131,990 square km, with almost 80% of it being mountainous, and a population of 11,306,183 according to 2010 estimates. The country also has the 10th largest coastline in the world. The scenic beauty of the place, combined with its legacy of culture and architecture makes Greece a favorite amongst tourists, and tourism a major source of employment and GDP.
Greece Economy: Overview
Greece has a capitalistic economy with a handy contribution of 40% by the public sector. Tourism also makes a significant contribution of 15% to the GDP. The country enjoyed steady growth rate around the Athens Olympic Games; growth, however, was constricted owing to the recession and Greece ended up violating the EU's Growth and Stability Pact budget deficit criteria. The Greece economy is marred by high rate of unemployment, which stood at 8.9% in 2009. The figures seem to be increasing due to tightened credit situations and deteriorating credit ratings of the country. Greece economy is further dented by high rate of public debt and inflation, which are higher than EU averages.
Greece Economy: GDP
Aided by tourism, private sector and credit, Greece could maintain a rather constant GDP post 2007-2009 recession. In 2009, Greece's GDP (purchasing power parity) remained $339.2 billion. At the same time in previous years, the figures were $347.9 billion (2008) and $338.1 billion (2009). Recession affected the real growth rate and it climbed down to -2.5% in 2009 after having been 4% in 2008.The service sector contributed the maximum to the GDP with 75.8%; industries with 20.8% and agriculture with 3.4% according to 2009 data.
However, the global credit scenario and lesser economical growth have triggered a higher rate of public debt and unemployment; and the trend will most likely carry on till infrastructural and administrative changes are made.

As promised, the mental notes from my run sans iPod. This run just happened to take place after my morning Bible Study with buds at Starbucks. Also, I had to muster up a little more courage for this one - thus the wait. So here it is!
7am, downtown Salem
I can't believe how much I'm looking forward to this. I hated putting my shorts and running shoes on this morning but after a couple cups of Starbuck's Pike's Place I'm feeling pretty chipper
I think I'll run over the bridge into West Salem where there is more space.
Argh! How do THEY get up the nerve to build this cool bridge then shut it down just when I need it. Oh well, I guess I'll do mile laps in Riverfront Park. How disappointing.
Maybe not so disappointing. I love this park when there aren't so many people here – the wild parts along the river butting right up against downtown. The flowers and the water are beautiful. God is so amazing!
God obviously cared about his creation to make it so complex and beautiful, and countless times in the Bible, He says that we (humans) are so much more important. Still, He strikes down hundreds and thousands of people at a time in the Old Testament. In the past I've tried to skip over the death, destruction, and wrath parts of the Bible. But if I skip over these parts, then I'm skipping aspects of God.
I believe that God is more concerned with our spiritual life and condition of the heart, than physical struggle. If hunger is what it takes for me to draw close to Him, then hunger it will be. If pain, suffering, or losing a loved one is what it takes, then so be it. We are not supposed to be living for this world, but for eternity, which is spirit.
But how? I believe so strongly in healthy living – exercise, nutrition, etc. I appreciate so much the physical world that God created. And even now while I run, I thank God for my ability to breathe deep and put one foot in front of the other.
Still, this world is not suppose to be my focus, but a bonus. Just like food's number one job is to nourish and taste is just a bonus. Sometime the physical world offers suffering and pain just like food sometimes tastes horrible.
Lord, teach me to live in this body and appreciate Your creation without letting it distract me. Even my life is a tool for You to use in Your plan to draw all people to You.
Time to go home and make breakfast for the fam. I'm thinking eggs on toast.
*Wow, this no iPod thing is deep!
This simple, sunny pasta is a no-recipe, recipe and perfect for easy entertaining, summer evenings on the patio, and nights when you just really don't want to cook! Lemon Penne is also a great pre or post race/performance meal complete with complex carbohydrates for energy, protein and vitamin C for muscles, and less heavy fat than meaty marinara or cream sauce.
No-Recipe Recipe definition: You get to wing it! Taste as you go and use quantities that seem to match the group you're feeding. You can do it!
1. Cook whole-wheat penne in salted boiling water just until al dente (not completely soft).
2. Drain, reserving about a cup of cooking water. Immediately replace noodle in the pot with a generous drizzle of olive oil, pats of butter (you don't have to use butter but it really enhances the flavors in this simple recipe), a bit of reserved cooking water just until a little sauce develops.
3. Zest a bit of lemon over noodles and toss in diced green onions. Season with salt and generous amounts of pepper.
4. Turn heat to medium/low. Pour a beaten egg (usually one for every one or two people you're serving) over hot noodles. Mix into noodles as it cooks.
5. Toss in some finely chopped parsley if you have it and a squeeze of lemon just before serving. If you're not opposed to cheese, a sprinkle of Parm is always welcome!
Tips: Less is more! Always put in less salt and lemon than you think you need. These are strong flavors and can ruin a dish if you put too much in. Taste as you go – you can always add more salt and/or lemon if you need it.

Summary of Facts and Submissions
I. The examining division refused European patent application No. 09172941.8 holding that neither claim 1 of the main request nor claim 1 of the auxiliary request met the requirements of Articles 123(2) EPC, 84 EPC and 54 EPC.
II. The appellant (applicant) filed an appeal against this decision. It requested that the decision under appeal be set aside and that the case be remitted to the examining division for further prosecution on the basis of the main request rejected by the examining division or on the basis of the second auxiliary request filed with the grounds of appeal.
III. In a communication sent as an annex to a summons to oral proceedings, the Board indicated that neither request appeared to be allowable for reasons inter alia in regard to the requirement of Article 123(2) EPC.
IV. With letter of 2 November 2015 the appellant announced - without any further explanations and arguments - that it would not be attending the oral proceedings.
V. Oral proceedings were held before the Board on 3 November 2015. The chairman noted the absence of the representative of the applicant. The proceedings were pursued according to Rule 115(2) EPC and Article 15(3) RPBA. At the end of the oral proceedings the decision of the Board was given.
VI. Claim 1 of the main request reads as follows:
"A multipurpose fabric suitable for home textile, upholstery & apparel textile application comprising of at least one textile substrate with see through and unstable construction, namely of cover factor 14, and
a web of fibres on at least one side of the textile substrate, with an entangled fibre structure ("pseudo yarns") formed by a plurality of fibres from said web of fibres becoming hydro-entangled among themselves in spaces within said textile substrate to form said entangled fibre structure, characterized in that the textile substrate is pre-treated prior to hydro entanglement by being subjected to at least one high pressure straight jet stream and at least one jet stream that strikes at an angle."
Claim 1 of the second auxiliary request differs from claim 1 of the main request in that the wording "see through and unstable construction, namely of" and the term "("pseudo yarns")" have been deleted.
VII. The appellant in its grounds of appeal argued as follows with respect to the issues relevant for the present decision:
Concerning claim 1 of the main request, the use of the term "cover factor of 14" which was disclosed in Example 2 was not an intermediate generalisation. The skilled person would take the description into account.
The specification as a whole illustrated that the invention related to the construction of an improved fabric comprising inter alia a textile substrate of see through and adjustable construction. The properties of the fabric were unrelated to the subsequent treatment by water jets. Hence, these details of Example 2 were not related to the cover factor.
It was established case law of the Boards of Appeal that there were situations where some characteristics taken from a working example might be combined with other features disclosed in a more general context without necessarily creating an objectionable intermediate generalisation. This was the case if the skilled person could recognise without any doubt from the application as filed that the selected characteristics were not closely related to the other characteristics of the working example and applied directly and unambiguously to the more general context, as decided in decision T 962/98. This exception applied in the present case, since it was clear to the skilled person that the properties of the fabric were unrelated to the subsequent treatment by the water jets.
The Board should therefore overturn the examining division's finding on Article 123(2) EPC.
Concerning claim 1 of the Second Auxiliary request, the deletion of the term "unstable construction" led to a narrower definition provided by the term "cover factor". This deletion did not infringe Article 123(2) EPC since no additional information was provided to the skilled person.
Reasons for the Decision
1. Main request, Claim 1 - Article 123(2) EPC
1.1 As set out in the communication informing the appellant of the Board's preliminary opinion on this issue, originally filed claim 1 does not include the feature concerning a cover factor of 14. In the description, only Example 2 (page 22, lines 12 to 25) specifies this cover factor for the textile substrate. Example 2 is specific with regard to the nature of the fibres (cotton fibre web) and to the conditions of manufacturing of the fabric ("whole structure is subjected to high pressure water jet streams with jet description of 0.1 mm/23 jets/inch, 0.1 mm/40 jets/inch and 0.1 mm/40 jets/inch results in maximum fibre rolling and pseudo yarn formation as shown in Figure 4, with very few traces of fibres on the bottom side of textile substrates"). The remaining examples (Examples 1, 3 to 14) do not indicate a cover factor for the textile substrate used therein and cannot be compared to Example 2 with regard to the manufacturing conditions.
1.2 Thus, no part of the application as filed provides a direct and unambiguous disclosure of the combination of a textile substrate with cover factor 14 and the further features of claim 1.
1.3 In its grounds of appeal, the appellant referred to T 962/98. In T 962/98 it was indeed decided that there may exist situations where some characteristics taken from a working example may be combined with other features disclosed in a more general context without necessarily creating an objectionable intermediate generalisation. It was further held that under Article 123(2) EPC such an intermediate generalisation is only admissible if the skilled person can recognise without any doubt from the application as filed that those characteristics are not closely related to the other characteristics of the working example and apply directly and unambiguously to the more general context.
1.4 The Board does not see any reason to depart from these principles in this case. It did however ask in its annex to the summons, how, in the present case, the skilled person was to recognise without any doubt from the application as filed that the cover factor specified for Example 2 applied directly and unambiguously in a more general context, i.e. was to ascertain whether the second of the two conditions for an intermediate generalisation being admissible, as set out in T 962/98 (cf. end of the preceding paragraph), was met.
1.5 No arguments in this respect have been submitted by the appellant. The Board considers that the cover factor is only disclosed in relation to Example 2. Therefore the Board is not convinced that the amendment introducing the term "cover factor 14" meets the conditions for an exception to the general rule regarding inadmissible intermediate generalisations as set out in T 962/98.
1.6 Thus, the Board accordingly maintains its view set out in the annex to the summon, i.e. that the subject-matter of claim 1 does not comply with Article 123(2) EPC.
2. Second auxiliary request - Article 123(2) EPC
2.1 Claim 1 differs from claim 1 of the main request in that the wording "see through and unstable construction" and "("pseudo yarns")" has been deleted. However, the feature "cover factor 14" is still included in claim 1. Accordingly, the above objection under Article 123(2) EPC concerning the feature "cover factor 14" still applies to this claim, as noted by the Board in its preliminary opinion.
2.2 In the appeal grounds the appellant submitted that the deletion of the term "unstable construction" led to a narrower definition provided by the term "cover factor". The Board is not convinced by this argument, because the issue to be decided here in regard to Article 123(2) EPC is not whether the amendments lead to a more narrow definition of the term. Rather, as stated above, it is whether the skilled person could recognise without any doubt from the application as filed that the cover factor of Example 2 applied directly and unambiguously in a more general context. This is not the case here, as explained above.
2.3 The Board accordingly concludes that the second auxiliary request is not allowable because the subject-matter of claim 1 does not comply with Article 123(2) EPC.
3. Since none of the appellant's requests is allowable, the appeal has to be dismissed.
For these reasons it is decided that:
The appeal is dismissed.

Kailash Kher is known for his Indian folk and Sufi music. The singer, who initially struggled to get his big break, won hearts with the track, Allah Ke Bande, from the Bollywood movie – Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part 2. Pictured on Arshad Warsi, the song became a rage and Kher was flooded with offers from noted Hindi film makers. What worked for the number was its inspiring lyrics and Kailash Kher's distinctive vocals. Besides Allah Ke Bande, some of his other chartbusters are Teri Deewani, Saiyaan, Jay-Jaykara, Chak Lein De, Rabba Ishq Na Hove, Bam Lahiri, and Arziyan.
In 2005, Kailash Kher founded the Indian fusion band – Kailasa – along with Naresh Kamath, Paresh Kamath, Kurt Peters, Sameer Chiplunkar, Sanket Naik, Jovian Soans, and Jose Neil Gomes. The name was derived from Lord Shiva's abode, Mount Shiva, and the band's tunes are heavily influenced by medieval Indian and Western music. The albums of this group are – Aawargi (2005), Kailasa (2006), Jhoomo Re (2007), Chaandan Mein (2009), Rangeele (2012), and Ishq Anokha (2016).
You can now watch a live music event featuring Kailash Kher and Kailasa at the NCPA. This highly-awaited show will take place at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre on September 28. The aim of Kailash Kher and Kailasa – Live in Concert is to help raise funds for the victims of the Kerala floods. The organizers have clearly stated that all the proceeds of this music concert will be donated to the Kerala Flood Relief. If you are in Mumbai on that day, there's no good reason to give this a miss.

Maruti Suzuki India has silently rolled out Bharat Stage-VI (BS6) compliant Swift petrol and Wagon R 1.2 in the market. In fact, the former is now also compliant to the new stringent AIS-145 Safety Norms, which offers better crash protection and more standardised safety features like - dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensor, seatbelt reminder, high-speed alert, among others. Based on the updates, prices of both the BS6 compliant Maruti Suzuki Swift and Wagon R 1.2 petrol have been hiked. While the variant wise prices of the cars are yet to be released, the BS6 compliant Maruti Suzuki Swift will now be priced in the range of ₹ 5.14 lakh to ₹ 8.89 lakh, while the prices of the Wagon R 1.2 petrol has gone up to ₹ 5.10 lakh to ₹ 5.91 lakh (all ex-showroom, Delhi).
Both the cars are powered by the same updated BS6 compliant 1.2-litre K12B petrol engine that is tuned to churn out 83 bhp and 115 Nm of peak torque. In fact, both the Swift petrol and the Wagon R 1.2 offer the same transmission options as well - a 5-speed manual gearbox and an optional AMT or Auto Gear Shift (AGS) unit. The engine was first introduced with the Maruti Suzuki Baleno facelift which was launched in India early this year in January 2019. In terms of design and features both the car will remain unchanged with no changes whatsoever.
Also Read: Exclusive: Maruti Suzuki Baleno Facelift Review
Maruti Suzuki India is among the first carmakers to introduce BS-6 compliant cars in India way before the official deadline of April 1, 2020. The fact that the carmaker and only updated the 1.2-litre petrol engine is also in line with the phase out all diesel engines in its line-up before the BS6 shift happens.
Furthermore, in addition to the BS6 Maruti Suzuki Wagon R and Swift Petrol, the carmaker has also launched the CNG variants New Alto Lxi and Lxi (0) variants.

Consumers expect regular improvements in information technology, says Slava V. Rotkin, but these advances often come with a cost.
Take the laptop. Its billions of semiconductor electronic circuits grow ever tinier while the instrument's power and capacity increase. But heat generated by electric current can melt circuits and cause hardware to fail.
Rotkin and researchers at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center and the Ioffe Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, have developed a way of cooling carbon nanotube electronics by utilizing nonconventional radiation in a "nearfield zone" just above the substrate on which the nanotubes rest.
The new method requires the substrate to be composed of a polar material like silicon-dioxide, says Rotkin, an associate professor of physics. It channels excess heat from the nanotubes into the substrate which, being much larger, can be more effectively cooled by the vents pushing cool air through laptops.
"Other methods of heat dissipation do not succeed in discharging heat from within the channel of the nanotube or nanowire," says Rotkin. "Our method enables the heat to leave the channel and move to the substrate, while also scattering the hot electrons. This constitutes a novel cooling mechanism without any moving parts or cooling agents."
Rotkin and his colleagues reported their results earlier this year in Nano Letters.
Because the nanotubes and substrate are made of heterogeneous materials, says Rotkin, their rate of thermal coupling, or heat release, is relatively low. This makes it difficult to dissipate heat from the nanotubes to the substrate through classical thermal conduction.
Rotkin and his colleagues instead utilize what they call surface phononpolariton (SPP) thermal coupling by exploiting the high level of electron scattering that occurs in nonsuspended carbon nanotube transistors.
A wave called a surface polariton is caused by this electron scattering, says Rotkin. This polariton is particularly strong in the near field zone just above the substrate on which the carbon nanotubes rest.
"If you put a layer of carbon nanotubes in a near field zone," says Rotkin, "this enables the hot electrons to be scattered by the surface polariton and to give out energy to the substrate. Heat is dissipated into the substrate as radiation tunnels from the nanotube through the near field zone to the substrate.
"Most semiconductor devices fabricated now have the nanotube or nanowire placed directly on a silica substrate, which is polar. With this mechanism, if the substrate is polar and if there's a small van der Waals gap, our new near-field channel totally dominates thermal coupling."
Rotkin is a primary faculty member in Lehigh's Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology.

While the iPhone 11 and iPhone Pro largely stole the show at Apple's September 2019 event, the company also unveiled a new Apple Watch — called the Apple Watch Series 5. The new device is the best Apple Watch ever, and while it doesn't represent a huge change from last year's model, there are still some meaningful upgrades that make it the smartwatch to get.
Interested in the Apple Watch Series 5 for yourself? Here's everything you need to know about Apple's latest and greatest smartwatch.
Perhaps the biggest update to the Apple Watch Series 5 comes in the form of a new always-on display — which allows you to sneak glances at your watch and see information without having to explicitly raise your wrist. The display will still dim, but it won't turn completely off.
According to Apple, the always-on display can save on battery life by dynamically switching refresh rate from 1Hz to 60Hz, depending on what you're doing with it. The device also leverages a new ambient light sensor and other sensors to change the display brightness — and it supports all watch faces, complications, and workout metrics. According to Apple, the Apple Watch Series 5 will still offer the same 18-hour "all day" battery life.
The Apple Watch Series 4 breathed new life into the Apple Watch's design, giving it a beautiful edge-to-edge display, more rounded corners, and other nice touches. That overall shape has carried over to the Apple Watch Series 5, which was to be expected. After all, Apple rarely redesigns a major product two years in a row.
There are a few new build materials for the Apple Watch Series 5. Notably, the device is now available in Titanium and Ceramic, so if you like the look of those devices, they may the way to go for you. That's on top of the existing aluminum models.
Apple has made a few tweaks under the hood too. While it didn't note any changes to the processor, it did announce that the Apple Watch Series 5 offers a built-in compass that allows you to see things like the direction you're facing in the Maps app, like on the iPhone. There's also a new Compass app, which offers information like your longitude and latitude and more.
Other features
Most of the new features in the Apple Watch Series 5 actually come as part of WatchOS 6 — meaning that they're available on other watch models too. Notably, the Apple Watch is getting an App Store, so you'll be able to download stand-alone apps straight to your watch without having to go through your iPhone.
They can track how loud your environment is through a new Noise app, and will offer the ability to track periods through a new app called Cycle. These features will be available for other existing Apple Watch devices that are able to install WatchOS 6.
Every cellular model of the Apple Watch Series 5 also has international emergency calling, meaning that if such an incident occurss, you'll be able to make an emergency call no matter where you are.
Pricing and availability
The Apple Watch Series 5 is now available for pre-order, with sales set to begin in-store on September 20. The device costs $400 for the GPS model and $500 for the cellular model. Apple also announced that it was dropping the price of the Apple Watch Series 3 to just $200.
Updated on September 10, 2019: The Apple Watch Series 5 has been announced.

The District will launch a new, interactive menu system starting May 1 that should provide a number of benefits to families, School Nutrition coordinator Susan Peterman said Friday.
All of the information the District used to provide on the PDF menus is now located on the Nutrislice website. CHO counts for support of our diabetic students will now be tied to the nutrient database and any changes to the products offered will be updated immediately, Peterman said.
The site also offers the District the opportunity to tailor special menus by school providing families with additional and up-to-date information.
"We are so excited to be able to make this available to our families,'' Peterman said. "it will increase our accuracy with all aspects of nutritional diets and give parents more information concerning our healthy school meals.''
Using the Nutrislice website is easy:
- Click on the month you want to view.
- Choose a school and then a meal choice.
- Menus may be printed by using the print button.
The CHO Count button will give you the CHO counts by week. Navigate by using the weekly buttons at the top of the page. The green print button will give you a hard copy count of that week. Navigate to the next week and so on.
Allergy diets are available under the tab on the right. You must agree to the terms before beginning. When you check the diet, all products containing that allergen are lined out. Please note GF diets are not included here but wheat allergens are identified, Peterman said.
You may also sign up to receive an email when the new month menu link is available. There is a free app for your phone or other device, she said.
If you have questions about navigating the new menus, please call Mary Spurgat at 829-2343 or Amy Gundeck at 829-2344. If you have diet or product questions, please call Jungbluth or Suan Peterman at 829-2346.
