Like dvdw. If you try to measure the particles' speed, it changes its speed. Thus difficult to know, precisely its velocity and where it is. As people discern how the system is performing they shift their position to gain an advantage, as per game theory. Thus having an effect in the system itself.

According to a recent story in the the Wall Street Journal nearly two-thirds of those between 45 and 60 plan to postpone their retirement, a steep rise from two years ago. That was a steep jump from just two years earlier, when 42 percent of the people in said age group expected to put off retirement. This new trend is primarily due to the financial losses, layoffs and income stagnation sustained during the last few years of recession and recovery. Many middle-aged Americans used their savings during those lean years and now find that leaving the work force on their original timeline is no longer a good idea. They are also facing low interest rates, an uncertain future for Social Security, and a lower likelihood of receiving employer health insurance after retirement. Is their a way to avoid having to delay one’s retirement plans? A possible solution might be to relocate to another country in order to downsize and simply one’s lifestyle. Countries south of the border like Costa Rica haven become popular with Americans who want to retire with dignity, above all not have to keep working and have a decent lifestyle. Indeed relocating to Costa Rica is doable for those who want to retire for less. One couple who write a popular retirement newsletter about living for less in Costa Rica recently stated “ During a normal month, we spend about $1,700, and when we travel around to see this beautiful country, we might spend a few hundred dollars more.” ....

Portugal´s GDP fell 3.2% in 2012; Greece's economy shrank by 6.4%

Portugal's GDP

In 2012, Portugal's gross domestic product (GDP) fell 3.2% in volume or real terms, after a dip 1.6% in 2011. For the full year of 2012, Greece's economy shrank by about 6.4% after a 7.1% contraction in 2011.

The National Statistics Institute of Portugal reported today that the sharper decline of GDP was driven by the reduction of the positive contribution of net exports due to the deceleration of exports of goods and services, and by the weaker domestic demand, reflecting the more intense reduction of private consumption.

The annual contraction of 3.2% was the second-biggest since a recession in 1975.

Exports of goods and services registered a change rate of 3.3% in volume, after the growth of 7.2% in 2011. Imports of goods and services fell 6.9% in volume in 2012
