Why does China's growing technology presence matter? To better understand the concern and the dangers, take a step back and consider how the U.S. gained technology leadership in the first place, and what its importance has been. Basically, in the last century, the countries with highest investment in R&D (Research and Development) ended up with technical superiority and significant competitive advantage. Specifically, in the second half of the 20th century the race was between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, with the U.S. spending more and winning. And this supremacy resulted in world and business leadership for the U.S. in many ways—a position the U.S. still enjoys today. But is this vanishing?
We assume that this relationship between R&D spending and leadership will continue, so consider current R&D expenditures by country. The two countries that top the list of actual dollars spent in 2016 are the U.S. with $457 billion and China with $369 billion. Japan is a distant third with $166B in spending, and it goes downhill from there. So what is the concern? The U.S. is still leading.
Current R&D spending isn't the whole story. It's also important to consider changes in the rate of spending. Starting from far behind (primarily as a result of Mao's "Cultural Revolution") China has shown a surprising and consistent average annual growth rate of around 18% in R&D spending over the last few years. And its newest government mandated and controlled 5-year plan forecasts that rate to continue. Compare this to the U.S. which has had an average (but variable) 3-4% increase in R&D spending over the same time. Even more concerning, it is expected that the current government policies will decrease this. The result? Even if the U.S. maintains its current rate of spending, China is on a path to surpass the U.S. in total R&D spending in less than a decade.
R&D spending is important, but there is another critical factor determining technology supremacy. We (and many other) believe innovation, or "creativity" as we called it in our book "Creating New Superstars: A Guide to Businesses that Soar above the Sea of Normality" (available from Amazon.com), is an essential companion to R&D spending for developing and maintaining technological supremacy and using that power. And the U.S. has long been the leader in creativity and innovation and its application to business. This has resulted in the vast majority of the most innovative companies (including the top 10 from Fast Company's 100 list) being U.S. based.
But we aren't alone in our belief. China states that its top priority is "innovation," and they are devoting dollars and people to this purpose as a part of the first sub-plan under the new Five Year Plan. Chinese efforts to enhance innovation include building key science innovation parks and attracting top-tier science and technology researchers from all over the world. Research emphasis is on areas that include clean and efficient energy and fifth-generation mobile telecommunication.
Yes China is making progress, but the U.S. is still leading. Why does creativity prosper here in the U.S., and why do we believe the U.S. will continue to be the innovation leader? We posit that creativity and the resulting business innovation prospers in Countries where there is most freedom—freedom not only to create new ideas but also to make mistakes and rebound. And we guess that there is more freedom in a scientific institution here than in a large government institute in China.
But there is an exception. In the field of Biotechnology and the applications of Gene science there are moral and ethical concerns in the U.S. that are placing constraints on research. Apparently, this isn't the case in China, foreshadowing a growing global dilemma.
So, in the end, what will happen? Who will "win?" There is no simple answer. Yes, there is a technology race between the U.S. and China with fierce competition, but there also is a growing co-dependency—in trade, in business, and even in science. In a world of growing complexity, it is difficult to predict the future, but the concerns are clear.
Following are references which provide the data and other information provided above. In most cases, the titles clearly explain the content. For those seriously interested in the developing and complex U.S.-China technology relationship, we suggest taking the time to read a few of these articles.

Today, thanks to the internet, many kinds of data (Variety) are being sent, received, and accumulated at unprecedented rates (Velocity) in unprecedented quantities (Volume). So, how can we manage this rapidly increasing amount of data and benefit from them? How can we discover hidden patterns and reveal unknown correlations?
Storing such massive quantities of data is only the beginning. To be useful we also must be able to access and analyze them rapidly and reliably. Following is an excerpt from our latest book, "Creating New Superstars,1" which addresses this opportunity.
"Business analytics refers to "the extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive (computer) models, and fact-based management to drive decisions and actions.2 The rapid development and adoption of advanced business analytics technologies is already altering the business landscape.
Big data refers to data sets too large for traditional data processing. These data sets have the potential for "huge new benefits—but also heartaches.3 The explosive emergence and availability of such huge, fast-changing, unstructured data from various old and new sources, mostly external to a business, and attempts to analyze them, has created the "age of information" ― an age where knowledge is power. But in many companies these unwieldy data sets have also created an "analysis bottleneck" that limits their usefulness.
But now it is possible to combine big data with advanced business analytics. Unparalleled and real-time access to vast quantities of data and the ability to rapidly analyze them in meaningful ways are already realities. Business management is being challenged with the rapidly growing technical capability of harnessing the vast potential that is hidden in multiple sources of massive data/information.
And for those who worry that big data collection may infringe into their privacy: Yes, large companies and organizations already have access to a lot of personal data and are using it. On the positive side, this is already leading to things such as improvements in healthcare outcomes and understanding new market trends for better business management.
But it is an entirely different situation when governments enter the arena. A number of articles have been written about "big data" in the hands of government evolving into "big brother." A recent article in the Economist entitled "China invents the digital totalitarian state: The worrying implications of its social-credit project6" illustrates a concerning example.
The article describes a data collection and analysis project being run by the Chinese communist party to develop what they call a "social-credit system." To summarize, using "big data" technologies, the project's objective is to develop a system to collect and categorize as "good" or "bad" all available information for each individual citizen. Ultimately, rewards for good behavior (e.g., prizes, better housing) and punishments for bad behavior (e.g., denial of permissions to travel or access to loans and services) would be handed out – all this aimed at improving the allegiance of citizens to the State.
Will China be successful? How far will other governments go towards using big data to become "big brother" watching over each citizen? Certainly valid concerns. However, keep in mind that every breakthrough new technology has the potential for both good and bad. It all depends on the intentions of those who develop and apply the technology.

The article goes on to give examples of recent developments by Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and IBM. These are interesting, but only touch the surface of this rapidly developing technology area.
A December article in the New York Times Magazine2 does more to open one's eyes to progress and competition in this explosive area of technology which has developed mostly "under the radar." The title of the Times' article is informative: "The Great A.I. Awakening: How Google used artificial intelligence to transform Google Translate, one of its more popular services — and how machine learning is poised to reinvent computing itself." The article tells the story of how Google formed a new department (Google Brain) to focus on artificial neural networks and how that led to the radical transformation of their machine translation platform.
Pervasive, ambient artificial intelligence— the author's words. But is that in the future, or is it now? Virtual assistants are everywhere. And Google Brain is only one example of the race to develop more and more products that parallel human intelligence, not only in memorizing data, but also in following instructions. Many companies are now working on machines that can self-instruct on how to reach pre-determined goals. Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and Baidu, a Chinese company, are all developing such types of products. A subsidiary of Samsung, a Japanese company, announced a machine-enhanced detection of breast cancers. And the list goes on.
Consider what we said: robots with artificial intelligence, thinking and acting independently of the humans who control them. Such robots could theoretically be capable of redesigning themselves, or of designing and building computers or other robots better than themselves. And maybe these "super machines" could even rebel against the humans that originally created them.
And, as we open each new door, it is up to us to follow the new paths carefully and wisely.
O n September 13, 2016, we published a book entitled "Creating New Superstars: A Guide to Businesses that Soar above the Sea of Normality." A few days later (September 17, 2016) an independently created "special report companies" appeared in The Economist entitled "The Rise of the Superstars." What are the differences between our Superstars and those of The Economist, and how do our views differ?
The Economist report defines Superstars generally as very large and powerful companies: "a handful of corporate giants … generating unparalleled wealth for a small number of people and exercising growing control…" We, on the other hand, define Superstars as only those specific, large, Fortune 500 companies that have been growing exponentially for at least a decade. Thus, our Superstars are an exclusive sub-set of the companies considered by the Economist. Yes, they are giants, but more important, they are unique because of the exceptionally high growth they have been able to sustain over time, despite their large size.
To be more specific, the Economist's list of Superstars includes corporations such as Exxon Mobile, General Electric and Johnson and Johnson and more—older, very large companies that over time have been slowly increasing in revenues and market capitalization. Our list of Superstars and almost Superstars is much more limited. Only Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, Genentech, Amgen, and Gilead Sciences meet our criteria. These are relatively young, technology based companies with sustained exponential growth in revenues. Yes, the Economist list also includes these companies; but in our opinion, putting both types of companies in the same "basket" leads to an apples and oranges comparison. Thus, some of the Economist's conclusions and insights are different from ours.
And there is another fundamental difference. The focus of our book is on creating new, exponentially growing Superstars, now and in the future. The focus of the Economist is on the evolution and survival of the current "super powers." This leads to a much stronger emphasis on technology and science (what we call Launching Pads) and on creativity in our book, and more of a focus on excellent management and mergers and acquisitions in the Economist. To say it another way, we focus on sources of exponential growth, and the Economist focuses on expanding corporate power.
— Technology is pervasive and transforming everything in today's world.
— Technology and globalization are key driving forces for creating corporate giants.
— There is often a symbiotic relationship between Superstars and new start-ups or other small companies.
— Superstars must keep undergoing radical and disruptive change to thrive.
Are giant companies good or bad? The Economist directly addresses this question, while we chose not to consider it. However, we do explore the potential impact of developing technologies and areas of science on business and hence humanity.
Following is the PREFACE that can be found in our newest business book "Creating New Superstars: Businesses that Soar above the Sea of Normality." It explains how and why this we wrote and published this book.
Why have a few, extraordinary, Fortune 500 companies grown exponentially in revenues (annual growth rates of more than 30%) for at least the last 10 years, compared to a median Fortune 500 company that has grown at a mediocre 3.9% per year over the same period of time? Is the emergence of these giant "Superstars" a new phenomenon; and if so, why? What would it take for existing, healthy companies to achieve similar extreme growth, or at least significantly improve their performance? How can entrepreneurs maximize their chances for creating new Superstars? How can those seeking exceptional careers or investments identify high growth areas? On what types of companies should they focus?
Intrigued, we began a quest to answer these questions and others about extreme growth and highly successful, large businesses. Only later, did we consider writing a book. But why would we write one more business book? The answer is we believe we have uncovered important and exciting new information that can provide insight and direction to ambitious business leaders (both existing and potential). We also feel that our perspectives from the real world of business are a practical complement to advice from the often theoretical world of academia.
Thus we decided to turn the answers to our questions into a book, but what kind of a book? Yes, we wanted it to be a guide for achieving extreme business growth. But is that a book about business creativity and brilliant leadership, or is it one about identifying and building on fast-developing technology super-platforms (what we call "Launching Pads")?
As we followed the evolution of our identified Superstars, it became clear: both are essential. For example, if the goal is starting a new business, the question of which type of business is obvious. But the answer can be elusive because a "flash of insight" or a "life-changing scientific discovery" or a "disruptive technology" is needed for the creation of a highly successful one. Without that innovation, nothing "big" happens. And that isn't all. The desire for exceptional results also becomes a question of what kind of leadership is needed to achieve "extreme" success in today's rapidly-changing, chaotic world.
So, while our book addresses exceptional leadership and the needed revolution in business management, it is just as much about the power of new technology and science. In our fast-paced, technology-rich environment, it is impossible to ignore these forces that are shaping the future for business and for humanity. Successful new businesses and new technologies have become irreversibly intertwined. Because of this, we first focus on the technology Launching Pads that have created or enabled the current Superstars and may still create others. But what comes next? To provide new entrepreneurs, job seekers, and even investors with a head start, we explore several rapidly-advancing areas of science and technology that we predict will be the breeding grounds for future Superstars.
Summing it all up, with its focus on how to identify and/or create highly successful new businesses capable of extreme growth, our book is aimed at job-seekers and investors seeking exceptional opportunities, and at entrepreneurial "free spirits" who are ambitious enough to want to make a big difference, who are willing to take risks, and who are open to embracing new and unconventional concepts and technologies to achieve "far better than average" results.

British royals, politicians and Unionist leaders will be invited to Dublin to remember those who fought for Irish freedom.
Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore said he hoped to host representatives of the royal family and the British Government, along with the leaders of unionism, at commemorations for the centenary of the Easter Rising in 2016.
Mr Gilmore also wants all sides to respectfully remember those who gave their lives at the battle of the Somme, as well as Irish men who died fighting in a British uniform.
In an address to be given later to the British Irish Association in Cambridge, he said both countries shared a dual history.
"Unless we are attentive and respectful to both traditions, nationalist and unionist, we will remain a divided society," he said.
Mr Gilmore, who plans to lay a wreath at Belfast's Cenotaph on Remembrance Day for the second year running, said all have a responsibility to prepare and carry out commemorations in a way that gives no offence and is mindful of the sensitivities of all citizens.
Highlighting worries over "continuous tensions" in Northern Ireland in recent months, the Tánaiste warned that residents fear a return to sectarian violence.
"Both communities and the organisations which claim to represent them have the right to celebrate their history and traditions," he said.
Elsewhere, Mr Gilmore raised concerns that voices advocating Britain's detachment from Europe were gaining in strength and volume.
Prime Minister David Cameron has pledged to renegotiate the terms of Britain's EU membership and hold an "in-out" referendum if re-elected in 2015.
"A UK detachment from Europe would be bad for Europe which is better for Britain's voice," Mr Gilmore said.
"I believe it would be bad for Britain, diminishing, rather than enhancing, its voice in international affairs.
"It would be bad for Northern Ireland which has benefitted immeasurably from the EU – economically, financially, socially and indeed politically.
"It would be bad for the Republic if its most important economic partner were to distance itself from the European Union. And it would be bad for North-South co-operation.
Mr Gilmore travelled to England after attending a meeting of EU foreign ministers for talks on Syria, Egypt and the Middle East Peace Process with US Secretary of State John Kerry.


It is possible to create second charts using this indicator. The data is sampled based on the same principle as during the plotting the standard MetaTrader 4 charts, but with one-second period. Second period can be adjusted in the range of 1-59 sec., by changing the value of the "Seconds" parameter. You can apply indicators, Expert Advisors and scripts to the resulting chart. You get a fully functional chart on which you can work just as well as on a regular chart.
The indicator accumulates history during its operation, which can be reset (deletes the accumulated history) if necessary, this can be useful when forming a chart with a different value of the seconds period. To perform the reset you must delete the global variable with the name corresponding to the trading instrument. The terminal has a special window for controlling global variables. To call it, execute the "Tools — Global Variables" command or press the F3 key.
Drag the indicator to a chart.
Open the resulting chart by pressing the corresponding button - "Open Chart".
2. Added the ability to create multiple second charts simultaneously.


There are so many things in my life, that I know God wants me to do, but I never get around doing it. My spouse asked me to do something in the house ages ago, and I simply never do it. The Church made and appeal, and I felt that God wants me to respond, but I never did it.
Are we not singing too many love-songs in church, and doing too little? When we are asked to labor and come and work in church, like attending the prayer meetings, visiting the poor, praying for people at work. We just never get around to do it, with a long list of excuses.
God is not looking for obedience grounded in a slave mentality. He wants us to want to obey. Obedience should come naturally. There is nothing so offending when my spouse makes it clear that they did something out of obedience and I should take note that it was not easy, and that actually they did not want to do it. Love says: you should have wanted to do it for me, because you love me!
When people commit sin, adultery, deceit, selfish ambition, selfishness I cannot but question their love for God. Even more, I question their experiential knowledge of the Love of God.
No one filled with the love of God, can continue in sin.
We should focus more on trying to understand and come to see for ourselves the width, depth, and height of His love. (Eph 3:16-19) His love is what heals us. His love quench the hunger of your deepest desires. His love completes every yearning and longing you have in your heart. His love restores all the heartbreak. It is in seeing His love that we understand that all our desires were actually seeking Him. No husband or wife, no children, no perfect job, no conquest of any kind, can permanently fill and satisfy your desires like God. He is the author of Love. He is love! There is no true love without Him.
Let us study this passage closely in Matthew 7.
Let us all come to realize this truth – The law cannot save you and make you right with God. But you cannot disobey the law and say you love Him. Whoever therefor breaks one of these commandments and teaches men so, will be called least in the Kingdom. (Mat 5:19) You are my friends if you do what I command them. (Joh 15:15) My food is to do the will of God. (Joh 4:34) As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. (Rom 8:14) Obedience is important to God.
You cannot divorce your spouse, and say I love God. You are breaking His law! He hates divorce! (Mal 2:16) Read (Mal 2:12-17) It also speaks of people bringing their sacrifices of worship to God, they come with weeping and crying. But you deal treacherously with the wife of your youth? You have wearied the Lord with your words v17.
though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, (Heb 5:8) Even Jesus had to learn obedience! We do not learn obedience when everything is going well. It is when we struggling through difficulties and hardship, that we need to hear from God what to do. Do not pray to God for the problem to go away. Rather ask Him for a 'Jesus' strategy on how to overcome it. We are not victims of people's wrongdoing. We cannot blame others for our sin. In God, in the scriptures, in the life and way of Christ there is solutions to be found on how to handle every difficulty! Instead of searching for the problem in someone else, rather seek the answer in the Word of God. Let the Holy Spirit guide and teach you His ways. Learn from other believers who have already discovered truths and ways on how to overcome. I have found that with obedience, comes the grace to obey. Before obedience the task may seem daunting, but the moment you agree to do it, you will feel the energy of God's Spirit working in you to do it. The more you obey, the more you will want to obey. Just do it!
We all know the feeling when your spouse, declares that "they love you" yet when you ask them to do something for you, they forget, or went and did something else for you. This is really frustrating. May God wash our hearts and work His grace of reverence and the fear of the Lord in our hearts, dealing with all rebellion, hardness of heart, unwillingness to yield, resentment, excuses, procrastination, and everything that hinders us to walk an obedient life to His Glory! God is most glorified in us, when Christ is most evident in us!
We receive His obedience by faith.
Apostle Jan and Prophet Chantál, called by the grace of God to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Q: Custom annotation isn't validating method parameter I created a custom annotation
@Documented
@Constraint(validatedBy = CheckGranularityValidator.class)
@Target( { ElementType.PARAMETER} )
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface CheckGranularity {
    String message() default "Duration has to be a multiple of granularity";
    Class<?>[] groups() default {};
    Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};
}

With a validator like so
public class CheckGranularityValidator implements ConstraintValidator<CheckGranularity, AssetCostsRequest> {

    @Override
    public void initialize(final CheckGranularity constraintAnnotation) {

    }

    @Override
    public boolean isValid(final AssetCostsRequest value, final ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
        return value.getRange().getDuration() % value.getGranularity() == 0;
    }
}

I tried using it in my RestController
@RestController
public class CalcApiController extends CalcApi {

@Override
public ResponseEntity<String> calcProfitability(@Valid @CheckGranularity @RequestBody final AssetCostsRequest assetCostsRequest) {
    return ResponseEntity.ok("Works");
}

I tried using this annotation by writing a test:
@Test
public void calcTest() {
    final AssetCostsRequest request = new AssetCostsRequest()
        .setRange(new TimeRange(100L, 200L))
        .setGranularity(26L);

    given()
        .contentType(ContentType.JSON)
        .body(request)
    .when()
        .post("/calc")
    .then()
        .statusCode(HttpStatus.SC_BAD_REQUEST);
}

Relevant part of AssetCostsRequest:
public class AssetCostsRequest {

    @JsonProperty
    @NotNull
    private TimeRange range;

    @JsonProperty
    @NotNull
    private Long granularity = 30L;

    ...getters & setters
}

Test method returns with 200. When I try to set a breakpoint in isValid method, it isn't hit when I run the test. I tried changing order of annotations, getting rid of @Valid, changing @Target in CheckGranularity class, nothing helped. I'm using RestAssured for testing.
How do I make it, so my annotation is properly validating a parameter?

A: Change CheckGranularity's target to ElementType.TYPE and add @CheckGranularity directly on AssetCostsRequest. Also remove @CheckGranularity from endpoint definition.
How it works. By adding @Valid on endpoint's parameter you tell spring to validate it. Adding validation like @CheckGranularity won't work on the same level  as Valid. It has to be added somewhere inside parameters class.

Recently, Simplilearn released data on a survey titled "Digital Transformation & Future of Tech Jobs in India" conducted by them. The survey unveiled that IT jobs in new age digital technologies are highly in demand with employers willing to pay salaries that runs into lakhs. The report highlighted the five key domains – Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security and Digital Project Management – transforming industries across the world. This transformation is generating lucrative job opportunities for working professionals in the IT/ITes in India and is impacting the job market positively, says the report.
In an interaction with DataQuest, Mr Kashyap Dalal, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer at Simplilearn, enlightened us on the Simplilearn study, while also shedding light on how this trend is expected to grow in future.
We do this report as an annual deep dive into market trends to make sure that we have visibility into what the future plans look like and most of the large enterprises and the job market in general, so that we can align our entire offering with the future expectations and in terms of jobs and skills that are in demand from this perspective.
What we typically do is a combination of two things one is – we reach out to a lot of our learners as well as our enterprise customers where it becomes an in depth interaction where we interact with some of the largest IT companies in the country as well as our learners who are actually doing the courses that we talked about. About their perspectives about the background; why they are doing this; why these skills are are critical; and what are the other skills that they try to invest over the next 2-5 years.
Second thing we do is a lot of secondary research in terms of the kind of jobs which are out there, and understanding how many jobs are open and what is the success rate in filling these jobs and what are the skill gaps and so on. So, these two areas need a lot of intense work we finally came up with this report which kind of summarizes the background and that learning that we see going on in the market.
We see almost hundred and fifty thousand openings are there through 2018. Some of them will already be filled and others will be still open, So, maybe 20 – 30% of those numbers will still be open. In terms of future projections, what we are really seeing is that for all large companies whether it is in India or in the US, digital transformation is a big area not only in the next one or two years but in the next decades itself so it is a strategic prediction that companies are taking and we expect the growth in the demand of these skills to continue.
Digital project manager is a new discovery for us as well and is anybody who is not a hands-on techie and is not comfortable about going and doing programming itself but still wants to be a part of the entire digital wave that is going on and the opportunities that are present. The digital project manager is a very interesting option to explore because one thing that we can see is that companies are looking for business people who are strong project managers and project leads and are comfortable with that.
So, a person might not be a hands on coder but if he is aware of these technologies like data science, AI, Machine learning, cloud and cybersecurity, and if they are able to manage projects that involve these technologies then it becomes a huge positive for the company because a lot of older set of project managers are people who are not reskilled in these.
Project management professional who is equipped with all the digital skills and has better understanding of new age technologies could be roughly 25% more salary and compensation than a standard project manager with a PMP certificate. Some of the learners who have done our program and the kind of growth that they have got in terms of promotion from employers or getting new roles has been positive.

Saturday Snippets - 8/18
Sheep herders can't wait for the PAC Fall Fly
BHA member survey results. This week, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers - one of the fastest growing organizations in the country with over 24,000 members - released results of a demographic survey. It found that nearly 70 percent of its members are under 45 years old, and that political affiliation ranges the gamut - 33% independent, 23% Republican, 20% Democrat. The significance of this cannot be overstated: this shows that young outdoors men and women of ALL viewpoints support the protection of public lands and waters. BHA has been very active here in Louisiana, and supports public access to open tidal waters. For more on this survey, click here.
PAC Kayak Fall Fly tournament. With the success of the two "Fly Fishin For the Mission" tournaments benefitting the Mission Six non-profit, Eddie Mullen of PAC Kayak Rentals and Matthew Roberts of Troll Squad / Mission Six have organized a fall event. Date is Saturday, October 13. This one is a bit different in that it'll be a CPR (catch-photo-release) using the Tourney X app to "weigh-in" catches. Most total inches instead of weight. As with FFFTM, there's separate Kayak and Boat divisions. But two categories - Redfish (2 longest slot reds) and Mixed Bag (longest 1 each red, speck, drum, sheepshead). The Mixed Bag addition is drawing lots of interest especially among speckled trout and "goat" enthusiasts. For more info, go to www.packayakrentals.com.
Friday Fly Tying. Allen Fly Fishing started as a small scale manufacturer of fly reels with direct sales online. They've grown in size and expanded their product line to include rods, apparel, hooks, beads, and more. They're also working to promote fly tying with a series of videos they call "Friday Fly Tying". Each Friday, Allen subscribers on Instagram and Facebook get notification of a new pattern. The first dozen and more are simple but effective patterns. The list will continue to grow. Beginner tiers can check out the video archive by clicking here.
Counting down to cooler water. Fall officially begins a month from now. Some will say it really doesn't begin in Louisiana until the first week of October. But if you own a swimming pool, you know all about radiative cooling - and that it begins the first full week of September. Water temperature is what it's all about. First time it dips below 80 degrees is when freshwater fishing in north and central Louisiana turns back on. Especially for bass, crappie and redear. Next week's cool front won't do much - highs will still be near 90 and lows in the upper 60s. But let's see how water temps respond. As of today, the temperature here on Cotile Lake was a tepid 86.5 degrees.

The causes and treatment of travelers' diarrhea - how not to suffer on vacation?
The term "travelers' diarrhea" acceptedcall today a disease peculiar to travelers visiting the unusual climatic zones. This form of the disease is different from the usual diarrhea "natives": for its occurrence fact of poisoning is not necessary - sometimes enough simply changing eating habits.
What you should know about the disease tour: Preparing for the trip in advance!
Reasons for traveler's diarrhea - what caused the disease?
The disease occurs mainly in travelers developing countriesAnd it affects mainly young adults.
The most common reason that causes the disease - colon bacillus. It accounts for up to 72% of cases in most regions.
E. coli and Giardia and rotavirus and agents of dysentery.
Change your usual diet stomach.
Stress for the body, resulting in moving (change of climate and time zone, the height above sea level and other features).
Violation of the rules of hygiene (irregular or poor handwashing).
The abundance of fruit (many of which are "weak").
If the diarrhea associated with the new food and water, as well as climate change, it takes place quite quickly, diarrhea due to E. coli, on the other hand, may be delayed and significantly spoil the holiday.
In restaurants and cafes - a poorly processed foods, with poorly washed dishes, with ice in the glass, and even the waiters hands.
On the street "fast" food.
With his own hands dirty.
With water from dubious springs.
With water from the tap.
With saltwater on crowded beaches, which enters the mouth, along with E. coli.
Raw meat, meat with the blood.
Leafy vegetables (and their homes should wash quality, and only for the tourists are unlikely to try harder).
The symptoms of traveler's diarrhea - how to distinguish from other diseases?
It is developing the disease, of course, not as soon as you set foot in a foreign country with a ladder.
It makes itself felt within 2-5 days and can appear suddenly at the end of a holiday or even after returning home.
Although, as a rule, if within 10-14 days of the "surprise" does not happen, the risk is reduced to meet a multiple of it.
Loose stools several times a day.
Transient fever (note -. 70% of all cases).
Vomiting / nausea and vomiting, short-term rise in temperature (approx -. 76% of cases).
When to see a doctor if diarrhea children or adults?
Definitely should call a doctor, an ambulance, or contact the clinic listed on your insurance if diarrhea in the expectant mother or infant.
Admixture blood, mucus (or worm) in the stool.
Central / severe dehydration (thirst, dizziness, dry mouth and lack of urination).
Diarrhea persists for more than 3 days.
There is no way to make up the lost fluid reserves in the body.
No improvement after taking the drugs purchased independently.
First aid for traveler's diarrhea - how to alleviate the condition?
Of course, the first thing you should do - is consult a doctor. Especially, if the disease is caught up with your child.
Most importantly - drink plenty of fluids. That is, fill the salt balance and the deficitwith sickness in the body fluid via a glucose-saline solutions. The amount of liquid - according to the situation: 1 kg weight - 30-70 ml liquid (every 15 minutes - 100-150 ml). Should drink slowly and in small sips, so as not to provoke vomiting. You can use Regidron or touring.
If these drugs are not available, it is possible to prepare a solution on their own. To 1 liter of boiling water - 1 hr / liter soda +? Art / l of salt. It will be great to add to the solution a glass of orange juice (instead of potassium chloride).
Do not forget about enterosorbents: Smectite (applied at any age), activated charcoal, enteros-gel enterol, as well as probiotics (Linex, etc.).
As for the "loperamide" - In some cases, it becomes not that useless, and even harmful, so it is better to exclude from the list of drugs for the treatment.
Also on day 1 of the disease it is recommended to drink fruit juice, diluted with waterHot soup, a variety of coolness / caffeinated beverages.
In the food use is permitted only soft foodsWithout aggravating the condition: dried bread and biscuits, bananas, rice and chicken soup, applesauce, cereal, crackers. To return to normal diet can be 2-3 days, if the condition has stabilized.
Not recommended: black bread and fresh vegetables / fruits, coffee and spices, salty / spicy food and dairy products, juices, sweet and fatty food.
When viral diarrhea apply the relevant preparations - of course, prescribed by a doctor (Arbidol + immunostimulatory drugs).
Concerning antibioticsTheir self-appointed - is not a harmless event.
Able to make the situation worse, if chosen incorrectly or in the wrong dosage.
They have a lot of side effects.
Take medicines only on prescription!
At the pharmacy you can buy Test Strips "acetone"Which is lowered into the urine indicate the level of toxins in the body. A very useful thing, "just in case".
Treatment of traveler's diarrhea - which may appoint a doctor?
Severe diarrhea, as we have already said above, requires mandatory consultation with a specialist. Therefore, consult your doctor or the hotel to the hospital, said in insurance.
In most cases (unless accompanied by severe diarrhea symptoms no) hospital treatment is not required and enough for full recovery 3-7 days.
In severe cases, of course, need hospitalization, and treatment period depends on the situation.
What treatment is usually carried out?
Diet (ie, the most gentle food) + constant copious drinking (Or dropper with the appropriate solutions when severe vomiting and other severe conditions under which a person can not drink).
Acceptance of antibacterial drugs. For example, Rifaximin, Ciprofloxacin, Makmiror, Tinidazole, etc.
Admission sorbents (They are necessary for the elimination of toxins and fixing chairs). For example, Enterosgel, Smecta or Polisorb, Enterodez or Polyphepan, Filtrum and others.
Receiving saline solutions: Touring or Regidron described above Tsitroglyukosalan or touring and so on.
Polifermenty without bile / acids (For easy digestion of food). For example, pantsitrat or Creon, Panzinorm H or Mikrazim, Ermital and others.
Probiotics (Note - to restore the microbial / balance in the digestive tract.): Enterol or Probifor, Atsipol or Baktisubtil, etc. bifiform.
Drugs with antidiarrhoeal effect: Desmol or ventrisol, Smecta and others.
Laboratory researchIt is definitely needed. Be sure to pass stool cultures "parasites."
In some cases it may be necessary gastric lavage on admission to the hospital.
Measures of prevention tourist diarrhea - it does not spoil your vacation?
Spoiled vacation, which you hoarded for a year - what could be worse?
To sit in a hotel toilet and do not lie with the temperature along the beach, the sea and entertainment, take measures in advance!
Always wash your hands before you start eating. Even if it is an apple, pre-washed and put in a bag in a bag. Hands-it is still dirty!
If you have nowhere to wash your hands - use antibacterial wipes (Always carry a pack with me!), Or buy a bottle of water at the store.
Fruits and vegetables washing required! And best of yourself - in the room, rinsing them with water is not tap water, and boiled or bottled. It is advisable to pour the fruit of boiling water, and for the kids at all - cut from the fruit peel.
Do not rush immediately to the "alien" kitchen. Yes, I want to try. But if you - a man unaccustomed to various dishes in their diet, the diarrhea you will be provided even if the E. coli bypass your side - just from the new food.
Do not eat too much fruit. Many of them cause bowel relief in itself. For example, the same cherry, which 0.5 kg is enough to "break through" the usual office constipation.
Try not to eat seafood and meatIf you are in doubt about their quality or the quality of their treatment. With bad fried food in the body penetrate very insidious parasites - weeks of vacation may not be enough for the treatment.
During swimming / diving watch, that sea water does not leak into your mouth. If all the water had swallowed - take action immediately (enteros gel, activated carbon and so on.) To protect the body.
Drink water only boiled or bottled. It is strictly forbidden to drink water from the tap, shady springs and so on. Even for brushing your teeth, use boiled water.
Avoid unfamiliar products until such time as will not know everything about their composition and effects on the body.
After talking with the animals is required to wash your hands.
Use ice for drinks only made independently of boiled water. In cafes and street "eatery" use ice,made from ordinary tap water - and, as a rule, contrary to the rules of hygiene. As a result, bacteria are just frozen together with the water, not perish and thrive, finding himself in your drink after their defrosting.
Always carry a first aid kit on a journey! In this case it must be antidiarrheal drugs (like smekty), adsorbents (like enteros-gel), antibiotics (such as tsifran), probiotics (Enterol type).
If you are traveling with a child, then you must take a trip to a special children's medicine cabinet.
Website Lady-magazine.com warns: self can damage your health! Treatment should appoint a doctor after the survey. So when it detects the symptoms of traveler's diarrhea, be sure to consult a specialist!


Figure 1: Increase in the number of papers focussing on both ocean acidification and other environmental drivers. Data courtesy of Jean-Pierre Gattuso, from a bibliographic database arranged with OA-ICC.
Experiments manipulating climate-related variables have provided valuable insights into the wide range of biological responses to projected alteration of oceanic conditions, for example ocean acidification (Gattuso and Hansson, 2011; Hutchins et al. 2013) or warming (Boyd et al., 2013). The design and interpretation of these single-driver manipulation experiments, in which a range of altered conditions – such as 550, 750 or 1000 μatm pCO2 - are compared and contrasted with a control treatment (present day 400 μatm CO2) – have been relatively straightforward. Since 2010, increased awareness across the marine science community of the complexity of the many concurrent changes to future ocean conditions (Doney, 2010) has resulted in more studies manipulating several environmental drivers concurrently. For example, one third of the 225 papers at the 2012 SCOR-sponsored symposium on "The Ocean in a High-CO2 World" which reported on the biological response to Ocean Acidification (OA) also manipulated at least one other property (Cooley, 2012). Cooley reported a wide range of permutations of multi-driver perturbation experiments, for example pH and temperature, or CO2 and nutrient manipulations. Figure 1 provides estimates of the number of studies which looked at multiple drivers (acidification plus at least another one) and how this trend has developed with time.
There has been a growing realisation that the experimental outcomes of such multi-driver experiments may not simply be additive and some are therefore highly non-linear, so their interpretation is exponentially more challenging than for single driver experiments (Figure 2).
Figure 2: An example of the complex interplay of multiple environmental drivers on marine life. Temperature and pH both had a significant effect on growth of this sea urchin. Acidification reduced body size and warming mitigated this effect. Image - courtesy of Maria Byrne (University of Sydney, Australia).
Moreover, the results of the warming and acidification manipulation study on the sea urchin presented in Figure 2 highlight several important issues that have both direct scientific and wider policy ramifications. First, the effects of multiple drivers can offset or magnify one another, and so provide a different outcome than could be predicted from the results of a single-driver experiment. Second, the outcome of a multiple-driver experiment depends heavily on the selection and magnitude of the individual drivers being combined. Third, accurate communication and predictions of the collective effects of multiple drivers on marine life to policy makers requires consensus (in experimental trends) across a representative number of multiple-driver experiments.
Hence, to provide more reliable estimates of how marine biota will respond to the cumulative effects of multiple drivers requires that we develop comprehensive approaches/studies that progress from single to multiple environmental drivers.
The findings from even sophisticated multiple-driver experiments on organisms, such as phytoplankton, that occupy a single trophic level in a foodweb cannot be used to predict how entire ecosystems will respond to complex ocean change (Boyd et al., 2010; Caron and Hutchins, 2013). The components within a foodweb, such as predators and their prey, may respond in very different ways to the same changing ocean conditions. For example, the physiology of microzooplankton (grazers) is more responsive than that of their prey (phytoplankton) to warming (Rose et al., 2009). Hence, as is evident for the previous theme, there has also been progress in the last five years in transitioning from an organismal to an ecosystem-level view of how marine life responds to global change (Brose et al., 2012). There has been increased use of mesocosms (large volume, 1000 L or more, enclosures, Figure 3) to examine marine pelagic ecosystems in coastal and most recently oceanic waters, which has provided valuable information on the responses of the organisms that occupy trophic levels across foodwebs (Calbet et al., 2014). These mesocosm studies provide unprecedented detail on how ecological and biogeochemical processes will be altered by ocean change. This approach has also opened the door for implementing experimental evolutionary biology approaches in natural systems (Scheinin et al. 2015). Other ecosystems, such as those in benthic nearshore waters (from the tropics to the polar oceans) have also been examined via mid-term (months) deployments of innovative large volume (1000 L) experimental chambers such as Free Ocean CO2 Enrichments (FOCE) (Gattuso et al., 2014). Both mesocosms and FOCE enable multiple large-scale multi-disciplinary marine manipulation experiments that detail both ecological and biogeochemical responses to environmental change (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Present state of knowledge on Changing Ocean Biological Systems: most information on the impacts of ocean change presently available is on acclimated single species/strains under the influence of a single driver (lower left corner). Red arrows indicate the direction where we must expand our understanding. Assessment of impacts on ecosystem services, leading up to science-based policy advice, requires information on adapted responses to multiple drivers at the ecosystem level (upper right corner). From Riebesell and Gattuso (2015).
Although these large volume holistic approaches are advancing this theme, they do have limitations, such as the logistical challenges presented in manipulating more than a single driver (Figure 3). This illustrates the need to build strong cross-links with theme 1 which can more readily tackle the effects of multiple drivers. Thus, an approach such as modelling that facilitates integration oforganism to community and ecosystem levels responses is urgently needed.
Virtually all manipulation experiments, whether based on single- or multiple-driver experiments with organisms, communities, or ecosystems, have not considered the potential for adaptation to influence the outcome of the study (Schaum et al., 2014). In order to detect a measurable response to environmental manipulation, such experiments are primarily conducted using climate change projections for the year 2100, and thus represent a quasi- instantaneous alteration of environmental conditions, for example, increasing pCO2 from present day (400 μatm) to 750 μatm (projected in some climate change IPCC scenarios for year 2100) on a timescale of hours to days. Such an experimental design cannot take into account the abilities of the study organisms to acclimate (days to weeks) or adapt (longer timescales) to alterations of oceanic conditions that occur incrementally over years or decades. Adaptation via micro-evolution for rapidly reproducing organisms such as microbes has been shown to occur on shorter timescales (<1000 generations, years) than previously thought (Lohbeck et al., 2013, Hutchins et al. in press), revealing the ability and indeed the need to consider evolutionary responses in global change experimental design (see Figure 4).
Hence, failure to more accurately mimic the ability of organisms to respond to environmental change in manipulation experiments may give a series of misleading experimental outcomes which could skew predictions of how organisms, communities and/or ecosystems will response to changing oceanic conditions. Thus, this third theme must be interwoven into themes 1 and 2, such that a subset of experiments considers adaptation in their design.


Buy it... only if you can't get enough of that pleasant Randy Edelman sound in all of its variations, including a surprisingly light-hearted variant for another kickboxing environment.
Avoid it... if you already own Edelman's superior score for Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and are satisfied with its more memorable identity.
The Quest: (Randy Edelman) Perhaps nobody clued him in on this probable fact before this film was made, but Jean-Claude Van Damme is much better at kicking people in the groin than he is at conjuring the story for and directing his films. Being so, Van Damme, the kickboxer who entertained the population by getting into angry scuffles with relentless tabloid photographers on city streets in real life, decided to make The Quest his directorial debut. The film, not much different from the formulas of the other kickboxing films in which he stars (except for an awkward role for Roger Moore in this case), was a critical disaster and went straight from empty theatres to video stores and midnight showings on cable channels. The film wasn't laughable, per se (at least not intentionally), but it simply repeated all the same old Van Damme moves in a poorer light, making it pointless if you've seen him bash opponents (or, best yet, kick over palm trees after torturing the plant repeatedly) on screen in the past. Composer Randy Edelman, however, seemed inclined to take on any project of dubious merit and provide a decent score for it. He was a model of consistency in the 1990's no matter the genre or quality of films with which he was involved, never creating the best or worst to come from his industry. He had been fortunate enough to be assigned Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story in 1993 and had produced an excellent, rousing score for that occasion. For The Quest, Edelman had many of the same elements at work: nasty fight sequences in a pre-Matrix era that were supposed to wow audiences, a slight oriental touch (giving the necessary nod to the origins of kickboxing, not to mention the appearance of a bad dude named, of course, Khan), and a pseudo-heroic theme of solitude meant to expand upon the supposedly complex, but introverted character of the film's prime brute (the kind of guy who is nice at heart, but who will kick your head off if necessary). Needless to say, Edelman could handle such a questionable project on auto-pilot. And that is exactly what he did.

The University of Baylor School of Law has created the M. Stephen and Alyce A. Beard Chair in Business Transaction, thanks to a $2.5 million donation from the couple.
Stephen Beard, a 1973 graduate from the law school, was president of the Pakis, Giotes, Beard and Page, P.C. law firm in Waco, where he specialized in business and construction law. His wife, Alyce Beard, serves on the Baylor Alumni Network Board of Advocates and Baylor's Martin Museum Board.
Proceeds from the endowment will support this faculty position in perpetuity, allowing Baylor Law to enhance practical training and scholarship, the school said in a news release.
Baylor Law has named leading national scholar and expert in business organizations law, Elizabeth Miller, the chair's inaugural holder. Miller is an authority on Texas business organizations law as well as a nationally recognized expert on the law of limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships, according to the school.
"Steve and Alyce have truly blessed our business and transactional business program — and most importantly, our students — by their extraordinary commitment to Baylor Law. Their impact on our program will continue for generations to come and we are grateful for their dedication and stewardship," said Dean Brad Toben.

Michael Wood was provided with a law license in 1975 after he graduated from Newcastle University Law School.
Judge Michael Wood sits on the Consett Magistrates Court in County Durham in the United Kingdom. He ascended to the bench in 1993.
In June 2012, Judge Wood was charged with misconduct for inappropriately touching a legal adviser and making a rude remark in March 2011, in the corridor of the Consett Magistrates' Court.
Judge Wood is a married father of three who voluntarily stepped down during an official investigation into the allegations of misconduct.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Judicial Misfits sitting on the disciplinary board punished Michael by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
Since March 2011 through July 2012, Judge Wood has remained on leave and during this time continued to be paid his annual salary of $173,000 (US). Wood's now claims that he is too ill to return to the bench and will be taking a medical retirement in August 2012. Rather convenient to say the least!
Because Judicial Misfits are held to a much lower standard of conduct then everyone else in England, Judge Wood was never criminally charged for sexual assault.


The Swiss neo-progressive band Clepsydra has been compared to such artists as Step Ahead and Deyss during their career. Combining aggressive symphonic passages with quieter keyboard sections, Clepsydra has never been noted for their originality, but has developed over the years to sound quite close to neo-prog legends Marillion. Clepsydra has their origins in the all-instrumental band Delta Prophecy, formed in 1989 by Philip Hubert (keyboards), Lele Hofmann (guitar), Andy Thommen (bass), and Pietro Duca (drums). After searching for a lead singer, the group added Aluisio Maggini on vocals in January 1990 and renamed themselves Clepsydra.
After the 4th CD in 2001 the band vanished into silence but will return to the European venues somewhere 2014.

Easily the best neoprog band that appeared in the 90's, alongside Collage (from Poland) and Arena. IMHO.
My favorite band back from the dead!!!
Hopefully they will record a live album/DVD from the tour!
A new studio would be Heavenly!!!
Wow, Super!! Best news this year! Looking forward to it!
Best news ever on DPRP!
I've followed this site for many, many years, I and must say this is the best news ever. Original or not, Clepsydra is one of my absolute top-10 bands, and I've got thousands of prog in my collection so competition is heavy. I've dreamt of a reunion I don't know how many years so this is one is truly a blessing coming true. Now I only hope Collage will reunite as well!
Great news, even greater if they ventured over to the UK on this tour. Moon Safari are coming all the way from Sweden, so how about Clepsydra?
