“Given the dramatic rise in remote work, there’s increased demand for digital tools that help people organize their content and seamlessly collaborate with each other,” said Dropbox Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer,
As work becomes more distributed, effective collaboration with external parties feels more siloed and results can be difficult to measure. DocSend gives customers visibility into what happens to their documents after they send them, adding a layer of intelligence on top of the scale and distribution of the Dropbox content platform. For example, client services teams and creative professionals who already rely on Dropbox to organize and collaborate on presentations and projects can use DocSend to deliver proposals and track engagement, and HelloSign to manage contracts and invoices. The combination of Dropbox, HelloSign, and DocSend will help customers across industries manage end-to-end document workflows—from closing deals to onboarding teams—giving them more control over their business results.
“Our roots are in helping startups navigate the fundraising process and empowering entrepreneurs to chase their dreams by giving them more visibility and control over the pitch process. As we’ve grown, we’ve realized that the ability to securely share content and engage with documents after they are sent offers powerful benefits to a variety of customer segments,” said
Under the terms of the agreement, Dropbox will acquire DocSend for

Increase of human height over two centuries
The University of Tuebingen provides data on human height for men in many countries around the world from 1810 to 1980. It gives us a perspective of changes over almost two centuries. We see this data in the charts.
Human height has steadily increased over the past 2 centuries across the globe. This trend is in line with general improvements in health and nutrition during this period. Historical data on heights tends to come from soldiers (conscripts), convicted criminals, slaves and servants. It is for this reason much of the historical data focuses on men. Recent data on heights uses additional sources including surveys and medical records.

Εντυπωσιακή η αύξηση του ύψους τους δύο τελευταίους αιώνες που μας πέρασε. Στο παρακάτω διάγραμμα μπορείτε να δείτε διάφορες χώρες, ανάμεσά τους και η Ελλάδα. Την πρώτη θέση κατέχει φυσικά η Ολλανδία.
Η αύξηση του ύψους των ανθρώπων οφείλεται στην παγκόσμια οικονομική ανάπτυξη και στη βελτίωση της διατροφής.
Φυσικά παίζει ρόλο και το γονιδίωμα του κάθε έθνους.
Επίσης μπορεί να παρατηρήσει κανείς πως οι χώρες που έχουν οικονομικές δυσκολίες, όπως η Ινδία και χώρες της Αφρικής, έχουν μικρότερο ρυθμό αύξησης του ύψους ή ακόμα παρουσιάζουν και αναστροφή της καμπύλης. Χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα η Ουγκάντα και η Ζάμπια.

Ocean Winds and TERNA ENERGY announce their collaboration to co-develop floating offshore wind farms in Greece
OCEAN WINDS (a Joint Venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE) and TERNA ENERGY have signed a collaboration agreement to co-develop floating offshore wind projects in the Greek seas.
OCEAN WINDS has a wide portfolio composed of 1.5 GW under construction and 4 GW under development, and with the target of reaching 5 to 7 GW of projects in operation or under construction and 5 to 10 GW in the advanced development stages by 2025.
OW portfolio includes bottom-fixed and floating offshore wind projects under development, construction, and operation located in several markets across Europe, North America and Asia.
OW is a recognized world-class pioneer in floating technology development with a consolidated and proven technology ready for commercial-scale deployment. To date, OW´s project, WindFloat Atlantic, has the honour of being the first and only project to have structured non-recourse external financing.
TERNA ENERGY is a major player in the Renewable Energy Market and has more than 1.8 GW in operation, under construction or ready for construction in Greece and abroad. A flagship project for the company is the investment in the innovative and most demanding wind farm in the Greek territory, the semi-offshore project of St. George Island. The company developed, constructed and is currently operating it.
Both companies, with essential and complementary capabilities, share a common view with regards to the potential and the suitable road map for the development of offshore wind in Greece. OW and TERNA ENERGY, will join forces to identify the most suitable areas and consequently develop a pipeline of projects in excess of 1.5 GW with a consistent development roadmap rolled out throughout the current decade.
Spyros Martinis, CEO of Ocean Winds, said: “We are proud to announce our strategic partnership with TERNA ENERGY that makes a substantial contribution to our growth strategy in new but promising markets as Greece. At the same time, the sound and international experience of OW in conjunction with TERNA ENERGY´s local presence and leadership place this consortium into the pole position.
We have been monitoring the strong fundamentals of the Greek offshore market and its potential to become one of the most important in the Mediterranean Sea. The ambitious RES targets, excellent wind conditions, growing grid availability and strong industrial and maritime tradition are a few of the key elements that confirm the market´s attractiveness.
George Peristeris, Chairman of TERNA ENERGY, said: “TERNA ENERGY, in our long commitment to provide clean and renewable energy in Greece, has identified that the next step towards sustainability is the development of offshore wind farms. Floating offshore wind is ideal for the Greek seas, due to their depth and unique characteristics.
To that end, TERNA ENERGY is proud to announce the strategic partnership with OW, whose unparalleled experience in the offshore wind sector and the development of floating wind farms will help us establish this new sector in the Greek energy market.
Together, we will be able to provide the Greek energy sector with the necessary capacity of sustainable energy to achieve our national energy targets. At the same time, we will add value to multiple economic sectors of the local economy, by providing new investments in shipyards, ports grid interconnections and other sectors that will boost the local economy and create multiple direct and indirect jobs.”
About Ocean Winds
OW is a 50:50 offshore wind joint venture, owned and created by EDP Renewables and ENGIE. Both companies believe that offshore wind energy is becoming an essential part of the global energy transition, leading to the sector’s rapid growth and increased competitiveness. That is why they have included all their existing and pipeline offshore portfolio in the new company.
OW has a strategic advantage and is well-positioned to play a leading role in the offshore market. EDPR and ENGIE are combining their offshore wind assets and project pipeline in OW, starting with a total of 1.5 GW under construction and 4 GW under development, with the target of reaching 5 to 7 GW of projects in operation or under construction and 5 to 10 GW in the advanced development stages by 2025. OW primarily targets markets in Europe, the United States and selected geographies in Asia, from where most of the growth is expected to come.

jumbo:The stores remain closed. The carnival season is lost. Hopes that the Easter festive season will not be lost.
The management of the JUMBO Group informs its shareholders-partners, in accordance with its usual practice, that the special conditions created in the retail sector due to the pandemic crisis, negatively affected the financial figures for the month of February 2021.
The Group's sales, in February 2021, recorded a decrease of approximately -34% y-o-y. This means that during the first two months of 2021, Group’s sales declined by approximately -19% y-o-y, from -0,6% y-o-y during the relatively optimistic January of 2021.
Last year, in February 2020, all stores in all countries where Jumbo Group operates were open. In addition, the seasonality of the carnival festive season, which ended in early March, positively affected the sales for this month.
This year, in February 2021, from the network of 52 stores in Greece, 30 stores in the "red" areas of Greece (Attica, Patras, Chalkida and Thessaloniki) remained closed for most of the month.
• As a result, the net sales of the parent company - excluding intragroup sales –decreased by approximately -55%, compared to last February.
• Cyprus: On February 8, 2021, all the stores started operating again. As a result, sales of the stores in Cyprus decreased by approximately -20%, compared to February 2020.
• Bulgaria: All Jumbo stores were open. During February 2021, sales of the stores in Bulgaria increased by approximately +10% y-o-y.
• Romania: all 14 Jumbo stores in the country were open, recording sales increase by approximately + 22% compared to February 2020 with the same number of stores operating.
Today, with the 31 out of 52 stores in Greece remaining closed, another Carnival season seems to be lost for good. The challenge of controlling the pandemic still remains, in order not to miss the Easter festive season for one more year.
