Trinity Coral, spanning 2.5 acres of property, is Trinity Builders' fifth residential project in a series that comprise of several other projects. The high-rise from Trinity Builders offers 3 bedroom luxury flats to the homebuyers, who are looking for affluent features to go with a floor size in excess of 1760 square feet. Trinity Builders offers all the high-class amenities that occupants have come to expect from most of the top builders in Kochi including those that elevate the standards of quality housing.
Moreover, the availability of all the important facilities adjacent to Trinity Coral makes it an ideal investment prospect. In fact, Coral resides just two hundred meters away from NH-47, and also nearby NH17 at Edappally, a bustling downtown that serves as both an entry point to Cochin and an exit point to other parts of the city as well as the state. This is the site of world-renowned Lulu International Shopping Mall, another high-rise, which scales the Cochin skyline.
Besides that, the Trinity Builders project has proximity to some of the best educational institutes, multispecialty hospitals, shopping malls, places of worship, and the Kochi Metro station. From here, the Kaloor bus stand is only 5 kilometers away, whereas Cochin International Airport is at 22 km. For a tier II city, the residential projects of which get fast-tracked, it is unsurprising that Trinity Coral offers state of the art facilities to the occupants.
Trinity Coral's features include an indoor swimming pool, broadband internet connectivity, a home theater, reticulated gas system, intercom facility, a guest room, and several indoor games to keep the residents engaged on off-days.
Trinity Builders projects are widely recognized for being fast-tracked and reliable by all parties in the real estate segment, including some of the top builders in Kochi city. Trinity Coral offer skyline views of Cochin, pretty much like Trinity Crown, Castle, and Crest situated in its 2.5 acres property.
Trinity Builders' go-to specifications are pretty much a part of their Coral project as well. This includes deeply piled foundation and reinforced cement concrete framed structure, which holds the distinction of being earthquake resistant. Other than that, its windows framed in Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) gives fresh air inside the 3BHK apartments, capping off the lineup of specifications, which can tempt any type of homebuyers looking for luxury flats in Cochin.

A "most anticipated" novel of 2021.

He is preparing feverishly for this role when his fifteen-year-old daughter Angel shows up pregnant on his doorstep and disrupts his plans for personal redemption. With weeks to go until her due date, tough, ebullient Angel has fled her mother's house, setting her life on a startling new path.

Apple owns the True Wireless Earbud market by A LOT
Apple has led the true wireless stereo (TWS) headset market for a while now, with both the AirPods and the Pro model sitting at the top of the food chain. As per a market analysis report by Counterpoint Research, Apple will continue to retain its crown as the segment leader in 2021, but the market share is going to shrink on a YoY basis.
The report adds that the global TWS market will reach the 310 million shipment figure in 2021, recording a 33% growth on a yearly scale. Out of that number, Apple is expected to hog a massive 27% share, with estimates pointing towards 84 million units, while the upcoming AirPods 3 are poised to bolster the sales figures after a slump in the past two quarters.
"Most anticipated is a new release from Apple, it's first in two years. We expect it to be one of the biggest drivers of TWS market growth from Q4 2021 to the next year. Apple will maintain strong market leadership based on its loyal customer base. However, its share will inevitably fall with the intensifying competition," Liz Lee, Senior Research Analyst at Counterpoint, was quoted as saying.
Apple at the top. Xiaomi and Samsung are still far behind!
Even though Apple's market share in the TWS segment will shrink by a margin of 4%, the lead over rivals will still be sky-high. Chinese consumer electronics giant Xiaomi is expected to grab a 9% market share, while Samsung sits behind at the third spot with a 7% share. The market share of these two companies was the same in 2020 as well.
While Apple's market share is way ahead of the competition, profitability and net revenue are other areas where the company leaves the competition far behind. Apple's AirPods line of audio devices resides in the upper echelons of the pricing tier, where the profit margin is much higher. Xiaomi, on the other hand, is staying close to its mantra of selling products at as low a price as possible, which consequently trims the profits as well.

US stocks edge higher; S&P 500 is on track for record highs
Stocks edged higher on Wall Street in late-afternoon trading Friday, placing the market on track to finish with its second all-time high this week.
A late-afternoon flurry of buying helped nudge the benchmark S&P 500 and other indexes higher after spending much of the day hovering near their recent highs.
The latest gains came as investors weighed a report showing solid U.S. economic growth and a mixed bag of corporate earnings reports.
Small-company stocks rose much more than the rest of the market, which was on track to finish the week slightly higher.
Gains in financial, health care and other sectors offset losses in technology stocks. Energy companies also fell as the price of U.S. crude oil slumped for the third straight day.
U.S. companies are about a third of the way through their latest round of quarterly reports. So far they've avoided analysts' most dire predictions for a severe contraction.
Ford Motor, Mattel and Amazon rose after reporting first quarter results that topped Wall Street's forecasts. Intel slumped after issuing a weak forecast, while Exxon Mobil tumbled after the oil company's first quarter profit fell short of analysts' estimates.
While company earnings were mixed, investors drew encouragement from the Commerce Department's latest economic snapshot, which shows the U.S. economy grew at a 3.2% annual pace in the first quarter. That marks a surge from the previous quarter and it blows away Wall Street forecasts.
The report helped push bond prices higher, a sign that investors are taking a more cautious approach. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.50% from 2.53% late Thursday.
Earlier this week the benchmark S&P 500 index hit an all-time high, as investors grew more confident in economic growth and corporate earnings.
The broad index is up more than 16% for the year.
Wall Street has also been rewarding some technology companies since their highly anticipated stock market debuts. Pinterest and Zoom both went public earlier this month and are trading near their raised initial prices. Ride-hailing company Uber and messaging platform Slack are set to be the next technology companies to open up for public investment.
KEEPING SCORE: The S&P 500 was up 0.3% as of 3:54 p.m. Eastern Time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 33 points, or 0.1%, to 26,495. The Nasdaq composite recovered from an early slide, adding 0.2% and the Russell 2000 index of smaller company stocks climbed 1%.
Major European stock indexes ended mostly higher.
ANALYSTS' COMMENTS: Companies have mostly met profit forecasts for the first quarter, taking some pressure off the market.
"It's marginally better than expected, so the market has rallied a bit," said Andrew Slimmon, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
Meanwhile, investor fears of a potential recession have subsided since the year started, helping the market steadily recover from its fourth-quarter meltdown.
"With no recession, the market was due for a bounce back," he said.
Slimmon warned that investors seem to be complacent with a less volatile market, which he said could be setting it up for a pullback.
Gene Goldman, chief investment officer at Cetera Financial Group, said that "markets have gone a little ahead of themselves." He pointed out that both bond and currency markets seem to be pointing to a slowdown in growth, while a surge in energy prices threatens to cut into consumers' wallets.
KEEP ON TRUCKIN: Ford Motor rode its trucks and SUVs to a solid first-quarter profit. The company surprised Wall Street with better-than-anticipated earnings as sales of pickups and sport utility vehicles sparked an improved performance in North America.
Ford said a restructuring program is starting to improve operations. It is currently shifting away from sedans in the U.S., closing international factories and cutting thousands of white-collar jobs. The stock vaulted 11.1%.
TOY STORY: Mattel rose 2.4% after surprising investors with higher sales of its iconic Barbie and Hot Wheels toys. The company and its competitor Hasbro have been trying to find a new way to drive sales after the bankruptcy of Toys R Us. Both companies have now surprised the broader market with solid sales, despite the disappearance of the major retailer
DELIVER THIS: Amazon gained 1.1% a day after the e-commerce giant said its profit more than doubled in the first quarter.
CHIPPED FORECAST: Intel shares tumbled 10% after the chipmaker warned that weak demand in China will likely continue through the current quarter. It slashed its forecast for the quarter and expects a drop in revenue for the year.
The warning dragged down competitors, who also rely in large part on growth in China to fuel sales. Nvidia fell 5%, Micron Technology slid 1.7% and Western Digital dropped 4.4%.
NOT SO SLICK: Exxon Mobil slid 2.7% after the oil company's first quarter profit fell by half, missing forecasts as it spent more on oil production and was hit by lower margins in its refinery business.
Exxon was part of a broad slide in energy sector stocks Friday, as the price of benchmark U.S. crude oil fell 2.9% to settle at $63.30 a barrel.
Oil prices increased during the first quarter following an agreement by OPEC and allies including Russia to limit production. More recently, prices have risen after the U.S. government announced it will end waivers from sanctions for countries that import oil from Iran, including China, India, Japan and South Korea.
On Friday, President Donald Trump tweeted that he spoke with Saudi Arabia and other nations about increasing oil production.

The 85th anniversary of the Holodomor in the city of North Port (Florida) is celebrated at the official level
The City Council of North Porto (Florida), at its meeting on November 1, adopted a proclamation that November 24, 2018 is the Day of Remembrance of the Ukrainian Genocide on the occasion of its 85th anniversary, the Internet resource "Mist" informs.
In the presence of members of the Ukrainian community, Roman Chaikovskyi, head of the Florida Department of the American Committee for the recognition of the Ukrainian Genocide-Holodomor, thanked the Mayor Vanessa Karuson and members of the city council for their support of the Ukrainian community.
In October 2018, an exhibition of Ukrainian books, magazines, tokens and flyers on the Holodomor-Genocide of 1932-1933 in Ukraine was held in the public library of Jakaranda in the city of Venice, Florida. The exhibition was prepared by Nelia Lehman and Vira Bodnaruk, representatives of the 56th Division of the Union of Ukrainian Women in America, with the help of Lida Dykhdala and Bohdan Bodnaruk.
Also, the Public Committee of Southwest Florida and the Florida Department of the American Committee for the recognition of the Ukrainian Genocide-Holodomor arranges a commemorative concert on Saturday, November 17, at the Presbyterian Church in Venice. For the first time in Florida, there will be the Female Ensemble of North American Bandura players and well-known musicians Solomia Ivakhiv (violinist), Volodymyr Vynnytskyi (pianist), Natalia Khoma (cellist), Zoya Rozhko (soloist of the Kyiv State Opera) and Oleg Chmyr (baritone).
The funeral service for victims of the Holodomor will take place on Sunday, November 18, at the Cathedral of the Entrance to the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the city of North Port.

Kudus will play for Real Madrid or Barcelona- Inaki Williams
Black Stars forward Inaki Williams is off the view that Mohammed Kudus is growing too large for a team like Ajax.
After dominating in the World Cup in Qatar, the 22-year-old midfielder for Ajax made headlines for all the right reasons. In three games, Kudus contributed an assist and two goals.
Several clubs have started circulating around the Ghana midfielder with Barcelona linked with the Right to Dream Academy graduate.
Williams who played with Kudus at the World Cup was surprised by the potential of the player and insists the Ajax star is destine for greatness.
"I already had him signed before coming, because I had heard about him and had seen his goals. When I played the last national team break with him, he already surprised me a lot," said Williams on La Pizarra de Quintana.
"To my colleagues, when they asked me if someone had impressed me, I always talked about him. I think Ajax is starting to get too small for him and hopefully he will make the leap to a big one soon. I would have liked him to have had a Basque family member to be able to bring him to Bilbao because he is a bomb, he is a machine. He is very complete and with his young age he still has a lot of room for improvement," he added.
Williams was emphatic when asked if he sees Kudus at Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid.
"Yes," he answered. "I see him playing in a great club. It has plenty of potential and a great margin for improvement, its ceiling has not yet been seen at all. I think she may be one of the short-term revelations," he added.

'One of a kind': Former AP reporter Mike Cochran dies at 85
Cochran ended up serving as a pallbearer for Lee Harvey Oswald while covering the presidential assassin's funeral. (Bob Jackson/Dallas Times-Herald via AP)(WYMT)
Published: Jan. 14, 2022 at 11:22 AM CST
DALLAS (AP) - Mike Cochran, who during a nearly 40-year career with The Associated Press told the stories of Texas' larger-than-life characters with his rich and detailed writing, and who ended up serving as a pallbearer for Lee Harvey Oswald while covering the presidential assassin's funeral, has died.
He was 85. Cochran's longtime friend and former AP executive John O. Lumpkin said that Cochran died late Tuesday night after a long battle with cancer. Lumpkin said Cochran covered everything from sports to politics to natural disasters.
Cochran and other reporters became pallbearers at Oswald's funeral after no mourners attended aside from a few members of Oswald's family.

Govt. refuses to bow to LTTE threat
The Government yesterday rejected the LTTE's demand for an unconditional resumption of talks and accused the Tigers of using "threatening language" to undermine the peace efforts.
"A call, couched in threatening language, from the LTTE for a resumption of negotiations without conditions, while setting conditions itself by insisting unilaterally on a single agenda item, is scarcely conducive to good-faith negotiations," a statement issued by the Government Information Department said.
It said that the Government has informed the LTTE, through the Norwegian facilitators, that it was ready to discus the "establishment of an interim authority to meet the urgent humanitarian and development needs of the people of the North and East as a priority, while exploring a permanent settlement along the lines of the document signed and accepted by the Government and the LTTE in Oslo."
The full text of the statement: "The Government is engaged in a careful study of the statement of the leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam made on November 27.
The absence of direct negotiations since April 2003 is of no benefit to anyone and is unsustainable. Following its election to office in April this year, the UPFA Government has, therefore, made serious, sincere and consistent efforts to reopen talks with the LTTE. These efforts are well known to the people of Sri Lanka and to the International community.
A call, couched in threatening language, from the LTTE now for a resumption of negotiations without conditions, while setting conditions itself by insisting unilaterally on a single agenda item is scarcely conductive to good faith negotiations.
The Government of Sri Lanka has conveyed publicity, and through the kind facilitation of the Royal Norwegian Government, its readiness to discuss the establishment of an interim authority to meet the urgent humanitarian and development needs of the people of the North and East as a priority, while exploring a permanent settlement along the lines of the document signed and accepted by the Government and the LTTE in Oslo on December 5, 2002. It also remains firmly committed to the strict maintenance of the Ceasefire Agreement and condemns all violations and actions jeopardizing the prevailing ceasefire and which caused fear and thereby tensions among the civil population, leading to the undue rupture of the sensitive balance of ethnic groups presently maintained by the Government with the objective of safeguarding the ceasefire and taking the peace process forward.
The Government of Sri Lanka is in communication with the Royal Norwegian process."

One of the beauties of egg tempera is that you choose whatever colors you want. Any pigment can be used. You are not restricted to what any paint manufacturer chooses to make available. However, for this same reason you should educate yourself as to the properties of the pigments you plan to use. All pigments are fine dusts and are a breathing hazard, and many are toxic as well.
Cennnino Cennini (the author of one of the first how-to treatises in the fifteenth century) says to grind the pigments and store them under water. This is the method I use, and it has served me well.
Please note, however, that there are those who prefer to store their pigments dry and only grind them as they need them. Things can go wrong with water-stored paints: Certain pigments (most notably Ultramarine Blue) can settle into a hard, impacted layer under the water (I just use a strong knife to remove what I need). Certain pigments may grow mold, especially if impurities are present ( I had this problem with some natural Yellow Ochres left in the sun). And if the water evaporates and the pigments are allowed to dry out, they may become brick-hard and very difficult to re-grind.
That said, I feel that leaving one's pigments dry adds a lot of unnecessary work and risk of dust inhalation to each painting project. I prefer to grind all my pigments in water and keep an eye on them.
1. Put on your respirator/dust mask! Even non-toxic pigments can cause damage if inhaled. I always wear gloves and an apron, too.
2. Work carefully -- You don't want to raise dust! My preferred method is to take the jar of dry pigment, open it, gently pour in a small volume of water (start with about the same volume as the pigment has, but you will have to judge), close the jar firmly, and shake like mad.
3. When the pigment in the jar is thoroughly wetted and there is no dry dust floating inside, open the jar and pour or scrape the wet pigment onto your slab.
4. Begin to grind, gently. If the pigment is too stiff, add more water. Ideally you want a not-too-thick paste. Too much water can make the pigment harder to grind, but if spread out thinly the extra liquid evaporates out pretty fast.
5. Grind round in small circles, and every now and then scrape the pigment back together.
6. When the pigment is smooth, scrape it up and place it in your jar.
7. Cover the pigment with more distilled water (I would err on the side of too much water, rather than too little, see below), and close the jar tightly.
It may be that certain pigments (such as Alizarin Crimson) just will not wet. I find that adding a drop or two of ethyl alcohol ("rubbing alcohol" in common drugstore dilutions of 70%) to the pigment will help the water moisten it. Some also claim a tiny bit of vodka will help.
Almost all pigments will settle over time to a layer of more-or-less toothpast-textured color with water separated above it. For some pigments, such as Ultramarine Blue, this water will be perfectly clear; others, such as most of the Mars colors, will appear murky for years. The water does not seem to excessively thin down the pigment paste.
I prefer to put a lot of water over my pigments. If a wet pigment paste should dry out it will be rock-hard and very difficult to re-wet and re-grind. The extra water is insurance against that occurring.
The next step is to mix the egg tempera paint.

The human body is smart. Our bodies are aware of everything we do and have ingrained mechanisms to help fix anything we may mess up. When we get hurt our bo dies heal and cause inflammation. If we are consuming too much acid our body naturally buffers and alkalizes. If we are dehydrated our body holds onto the available water and we excrete less throughout the day. While our bodies are completely capable of taking care of us, we should do everything we can to make the job easier. An easy way to help out is maintaining adequate hydration which will aid alkalization and lower inflammation.
When we are properly hydrated our bodies are able to carry out all other functions properly (carrying nutrients throughout the body, providing adequate blood flow, maintaining moisture, etc.). Proper hydration also aids in anti-inflammatory processes. Water puts out the cellular fire our bodies experience during inflammation. Adequate hydration is key in living a healthy lifestyle and warding off inflammatory diseases such as heart disease.
It is recommended for men to intake 120 ounces of water and women to intake 90 ounces from both food and beverages. These numbers are the general recommendation to achieve adequate hydration.
Easy ways to get in water: drink plenty of H2O, eat vegetables and fruit (naturally high in water), drink sparkling water for some texture and to make regular water less boring, coffee, tea, and other beverages you may consume count towards daily water intake too.
In the grand scheme any water is better than no water but if you have a choice go for spring water. Spring water has been filtered usually through reverse osmosis and electrolytes are added to aid in taste but also can help balance the body. To further balance look for alkalized water (ph greater than 7); while the body has its own buffer system to balance acid and base it doesn't hurt to provide some assistance.

16 Black Trailblazers Who Made History
Unsung heroes break barriers for Black LGBTQ community
From the start, Black Lives Matter has been about LGBTQ lives
A close advisor to Martin Luther King and one of the most influential and effective organizers of the civil rights movement, Bayard Rustin was affectionately referred to as "Mr. March-on-Washington." Learn more here.
In recent months, the movement for Black Trans lives has had huge breakthroughs. But it's not new.

Ernestine Eckstein was an influential lesbian of color who was active in the LGBT rights movement in the pre-Stonewall years. Learn more here.
Dr. Rev. Pauli Murray was a queer American Civil Rights activist, women's rights activist, lawyer and one of the first female African-American Episcopal ministers. Murray struggled with issues related to her sexual and gender identity, describing herself as having an "inverted sex instinct". She had an annulled marriage to a man and several intimate relationships with women. In her childhood, she occasionally had passed as a teenage boy. A number of scholars, have retroactively classified her as transgender. As a lawyer, Murray's work set legal precedent for both Brown v. Board of Education and Reed v. Reed, both cases integral to the Civil Rights and women's rights movements. As a women's rights activist, Murray also worked alongside Betty Friedan to co-found the National Organization for Women. Learn more here.
The Challenge Logo
The first pride flag was unveiled in 1978 and featured 8 colors (hot pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony, and violet for spirit). A year later, pink and turquoise were dropped from the flag, and indigo was replaced with regular blue. Learn about the original pride flag here.
In 2017, the black and brown stripes in the pride flag made their first appearance in Philadelphia. This was in response to the racism many LGBTQ+ people of color (POC) face, even from other LGBTQ+ individuals. These stripes were also added to recognize the contributions that LGBTQ+ POC have made to the LGBTQ+ movement.
In 2018, Daniel Quasar designed the progress pride flag. This flag includes not only the black and brown stripes but also the trans flag colors (pink, light blue, and white). You can learn a little bit more here and here. Our 9-Week LGBTQ+ Equity Challenge logo uses all 11 colors of the progress pride flag.
The progress pride flag flies at the corner of Baird and Main Street in Green Bay. It was originally flown in recognition of the LGBTQ+ Mural Unveiling celebration at Napalese Lounge and Grille on August 21st, 2021.

Ready for Dispatch: The Citroen van shares its underpinnings with the Peugeot Expert and Traveller and the Toyota ProAce.
CITROEN Automobiles Australia will add to its light-commercial vehicle line-up from around the middle of this year with the expected launch of the new-generation Dispatch mid-size van.
To be pitched at the 2.5-3.5 tonne van market dominated by the Toyota HiAce and Hyundai iLoad, the French designed and engineered Dispatch will compete with the slightly more premium Volkswagen Transporter, Renault Trafic, Ford Transit Custom and Mercedes-Benz Vito, which are all also out of Europe.
The Dispatch – also known as the Jumpy in some markets – underlines PSA Group's Australian importer Sime Darby Motors Group's push to make Citroen the commercial vehicle arm, while still offering passenger cars and crossovers such as the C4 Picasso, C3 and C4 Cactus.
According to Citroen and Peugeot Automobiles Australia national sales manager Nigel Wright, the move to introduce more Citroen LCVs means the Dispatch's Peugeot Expert twin is unlikely to be offered here.
"As of today, the view of the business is that, rather than spread ourselves too thinly, is for us to focus our commercial vehicle range with Citroen," he told GoAuto at the launch of the Peugeot 2008 facelift in Sydney last week.
"So we've got the Berlingo right now, and then we'll essentially get the Hyundai iLoad competitor in the middle of the year, and that's the Citroen Dispatch." The Dispatch/Jumpy is built off a specially evolved version of PSA's lauded EMP2 lightweight architecture that underpins the latest 308 and Picasso.
Whether we see the multi-seat passenger wagon variants, sold as the SpaceTourer in Europe, alongside the workhorse versions remains unclear.
Most variants employ 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre diesel engines driving the front wheels.
Citroen offered the previous-generation Citroen Dispatch Mk2 in pure commercial van guise in Australia from 2008 to 2012, powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel.
While it retailed at a fairly competitive $36,990, the utilitarian van failed to gain traction in this market. The previous-generation Peugeot Expert was also sold locally during that time-frame.
Sales in the Australian mid-size van market were up a healthy 17.4 per cent in 2016, with the venerable HiAce recording 7478 registrations. The iLoad came in second with 5467 units, followed by the Transporter (1960), Trafic (1730), Transit (1205) and Vito (1153).
Meanwhile, in the smaller sub-2.5-tonne segment, the Berlingo was the fourth best-seller in 2016 with 315 sales, behind the Suzuki APV (472 sales), Renault Kangoo (1118 units) and leading Volkswagen Caddy (1706 units).
However, the Citroen's sales rose 5.7 per cent in a segment that shrunk four per cent, to record the biggest improvement of the bunch.
It was also Citroen's best-selling model last year, ahead of the C4 Cactus on 226 sales.

È stata eletta al Parlamento per tre legislature: prima al Senato e poi due volte alla Camera.

Biografia
Suo padre, Luigi Abbiati, fu tra i fondatori del Partito Comunista Italiano. Nel 1927 fu arrestato e costretto al confino a Lipari, dove fu raggiunto dalla moglie Antonia Oscar, detta Ninì, dal figlio primogenito Franco e dalla neonata Dolores.

Gli Abbiati rientrarono una prima volta nel Nord Italia nel 1933, ma nel 1937 furono nuovamente arrestati e confinati prima a Ponza e poi alle Tremiti. Nel 1943 Franco e Dolores Abbiati si trasferirono in Val d'Ossola per partecipare alla Resistenza, durante la quale Dolores fu impiegata come staffetta nelle Brigate Garibaldi con il nome di battaglia di Lola, mentre Franco fu decorato con la Medaglia di bronzo al Valor Militare.

Nel dopoguerra Dolores Abbiati si iscrisse alle organizzazioni giovanili comuniste e dal 1960 al 1966 fu segretaria del sindacato tessili della CGIL.
Alle elezioni politiche del 1968 fu eletta al Senato, mentre alle successive consultazioni del 1972 e del 1976 fu eletta alla Camera dei Deputati.

Futuremark® Announces Patch for 3DMark®03
Ensures Objective Performance Measurements with Latest Hardware & Drivers
Saratoga, California USA – November 11th, 2003 – Futuremark Corporation announced today the immediate availability of a patch to the 3DMark03 benchmark suite. 3DMark03 is the worldwide standard tool for easily and objectively measuring and comparing PCs' 3D performance.
Available immediately, this free downloadable software patch provides the only valid version (340) of 3DMark03. Only scores obtained through the version 340 and with approved drivers will be used in official statistics, comparisons and services provided by Futuremark.
According to Tero Sarkkinen, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Futuremark Corporation, "the new version is published to make sure that our customers can get an objective 3DMark03 performance comparison with the latest hardware and drivers. Our customers will be able to perform apples-to-apples performance comparisons between the various IHVs' graphics cards."
Parts of the program code have been changed so that possible 3DMark03 specific optimizations in current drivers will not work. 3DMark03 specific optimizations in drivers are against run rules of 3DMark03, because they invalidate the performance measurement results and thus make it impossible to compare performances of different hardware. A list of drivers that have been tested - and confirmed to produce valid 3DMark03 scores - has been published on Futuremark's website.
3DMark03 sets the standard for easily and objectively measuring and comparing modern PCs' 3D graphics performance. It features 4 different game scenes to determine the overall 3D performance. In addition to this, it has individual tests and professional tools, such as a 3D audio performance test, CPU performance test and image quality test. 3DMark03 provides detailed benchmark information and is connected to Futuremark's PC performance database of more than 10 million benchmark results. This allows users to compare their own system performance with virtually any other PC configuration.
Technical Details Associated with the New Patch:
Patch changes the program's build number to 340;
Maximum point sprite size is now limited to 256x256 instead of the maximum supported by the hardware;
Incorporates new version of the Entech library (used to detect the clock frequency of the graphics chip core and memory);
Provides more detailed and accurate system information and improved detection of hyperthreaded CPUs
Futuremark's official mirrors carry both a 5.4MB patch download for current 3DMark03 users and a full 177MB download of the patched 3DMark03 for new users. A list of official mirrors can be found at http://www.futuremark.com/download/.
3DMark03 is available for free public download at http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dmark03.shtml
For further 3DMark03 related information, please visit http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark03/
A professional version with added features and full functionality is available from http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark03/ for $39.95 for individual or $250.00 for corporate license.
For your free evaluation copy of 3DMark03, please email marketing@futuremark.com and tell us the publication that you represent.
Futuremark® Corporation is the leading provider of computer performance analysis software and services. Futuremark® is known around the world for its benchmark products, including the 3DMark® Series and PCMark™2002 (with more than 30 million copies distributed worldwide) and value-added services powered by a database of over 10 million real-life benchmarking results. Futuremark® has offices in Saratoga, California and Helsinki, Finland. For more information, please visit http://www.futuremark.com.


The semi-final between West Germany and France in Spain 1982 is foremost remembered by one of the worst attacks ever. When Patrick Battiston leapt for the ball, German keeper Toni Schumacher rushed from his area and collided with the French defender. As the French medical staff attended to the unconscious player, Schumacher retreated to the edge of the box and began a series of stretching exercises that incensed the French fans.
