Aristotle's 2,000-year-old question about geckos inspired this ingenious climbing device
[Embracing Disruption]Insider Studios [Aristotle gecko border]Getty Images * The Greek philosopher Aristotle once questioned how a gecko could climb different surfaces. * The answer, uncovered 2,000 years later, is weak intermolecular forces called Van der Waals forces. * The engineering firm Draper used the same theory of Van der Waals forces to create its Z-Man Climbing System. Ever wonder how a gecko can climb and stick to any surface? It's a question that's obsessed scientists and philosophers as far back as Aristotle, who once pondered the gecko's ability to "run up and down a tree in any way, even with the head downward." Today, not only has that question been answered, but it's inspired technological innovation that has wide-ranging application (for humans!) in the real world.SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDERSEE ALSO: * We used Google Flights and Kayak to see which is best for booking travel — here's the verdict * IT'S OFFICIAL: IBM is acquiring software company Red Hat for $34 billion * These 5 things are changing the transportation industry

Alternate Foreign Minister G. Katrougalos visits Portugal (24-26 October 2018)
Alternate Foreign Minister, George Katrougalos and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs responsible for International Economic Relations, Eurico Brilhante Dias, signed a memorandum of economic cooperation between Greece and Portugal in Lisbon. Mr. Katrougalos also met with the Secretary of State of European Affairs, Ana Paula Zacarias. During the meeting, they discussed issues of mutual interest, such as the drafting of the new EU budget and the question of Brexit. The economic memorandum provides for cooperation between the two countries in tackling unemployment, mainly among young people, by strengthening entrepreneurship. Cooperation is also provided for in the areas of trade, investment, agriculture, shipping, transport, communications, renewable energy sources, and tourism. The Memorandum makes special reference to the combating of tax evasion and corruption, with the parallel introduction in Greece of the electronic invoice, which is being successfully implemented in Portugal. It has also been agreed to extend cooperation in areas such as high and digital technology as well as medical tourism. The two sides have also agreed to contribute to the strengthening of cooperation between enterprises so as to enable Greek enterprises to gain access to the countries of Africa and Latin America, while providing Portuguese enterprises access to the countries of South-Eastern Europe and the Balkans, as well as Arab countries. In this context, an electronic platform will be created where Greek and Portuguese businesses will be able to offer and seek products and services. It was agreed that Business Forums would be organized in Athens and Lisbon, in 2019, by the co-competent agencies, with the support of the governments. Within the framework of “meetings with the citizens”, the Alternate Foreign Minister delivered a speech at an event hosted by the University of Aveiro entitled “Europe, the Euro and the Crisis, What is our future” and another one at the University of Porto entitled “The Future of Europe”. In Porto, Mr. Katrougalos met with the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Nuno Botelho, and the Director General of the Chamber of Commerce, Angelino Ferreira, while he also visited the Serralves Foundation.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terens Quick’s speech at the OSCE Mediterranean Conference on Energy (Malaga, 26 October 2018)
“In the Mediterranean region, in Europe, as well as with the attention of the international Community focused on us with regard to the major issue of energy, which is interwoven with progress on numerous levels for survival, with the progress of the societies and countries of our entire planet, there are also those who create tension. With a Navtex from the Turkish station in Antalaya that the ship “Barbaros” was going to carry out seismic research on a segment of the Greek continental shelf, Turkey is again being provocative and displaying what I noted earlier, that it continues actions that cause tension in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean. The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminded in this regard that permission is required from the competent Greek Authorities in order to carry out similar research on the Greek continental shelf. In addition, the responsibility of issuing the relevant Navtex falls within the competence of the Greek authorities. In this specific case, yet again, the procedures stipulated by international law and international regulations were not followed by the Turkish side, a fact that the Greek side emphasises in a strong demarche made against the Turkish authorities, in accordance with established practice.” This is what Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terens Quick stressed while speaking at the OSCE annual conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs with the Mediterranean partners, which was held in Malaga and whose main topic was Energy. In his speech, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, inter alia, stressed the following: - In the current European environment, security, economic growth, and cooperation equate to energy security, and this becomes even more evident for the Mediterranean region, as well as for the national security of all of its countries. The geopolitical role of the countries is often linked to energy issues, in most cases. - Greece believes that no country should solely depend on only one Energy supplier, through only one route. The less we depend on only one supplier, we become partners with more suppliers and in more pipelines, and achieve more competitive conditions. - In its energy policy, Greece aims towards 3 pillars: cooperation - connectivity - complementarity. Moreover, we consider the Energy derived from renewable energy sources and LNG very significant and environmentally friendly. - We work with complete consistency to meet the standards of the European Union so that 27% of Energy is derived from renewable sources by 2030. We are already making great strides in exploiting solar and wind energy, with an outstanding example being the island of Tilos, which is Greece's first “green” island. - My country is proceeding strongly with bilateral, trilateral, and quadrilateral cooperation schemes with countries in the region, such as Cyprus, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, and Serbia. Finally, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terens Quick referred to infrastructure projects related to Energy, referring to examples such as TAP, IAP, IGB, FSRU (LNG in Alexandroupoli and Revithoussa), East-Med, Euro-Asia, and Euro-Africa interconnector.
