When I heard about the latest book from Valiant Wings Publishing I thought – "well the next Tamiya kit in 32nd will be the Bf 109"…. well I was wrong – but the reason i thought this was because like with a few of their previous books the choices from VWP have been right at the centre of the modelling zeitgeist of the time. Well no matter as there are PLENTY of fans of Luftwaffe aircraft and of those plenty who love the Messerschmitt Bf 109.
The book is called – "Airframe & Miniature book, 'The Messerschmitt Bf 109 Early Series (V1 to E-9 including T- series) - A Complete Guide to the Luftwaffe's Famous Fighter'" and it is peened by the respected aviation author Richard A. Franks. Mr Franks has penned a few of these that I have read already now – both on the Hawker Tempest and the He-219 - I liked very much in the reviews i mentioned that they represented an all-in-one title for each of these aircraft.
Now the Bf 109 early series is the subject of this book – from the experimental versions right through to the E's and the Naval "T" series of aircraft right up to the end of that line before the "F", "G" and "K" models took over with heavier armament and more speed for interception of the faster allied fighters. This book deals with what is often revered as the true origin of this aircraft before these additions took away some of the manoeuvrability of the airframe.
The publishers have not skimped on this title's page count however – they actually extended the page count to take in more detail, and the book is heftier than it's earlier compadres – that is a good thing her thought – let's go through the chapters.
The book starts with the genesis of the aircraft – Through the development of the fighter in from 1933 by a very clever Willy Messerschmitt who shaped this fighter (It's main competitor at the time being the He-112) into what we know today, after winning the fly off competition. The type broke several records which are discussed as well before we go marque for marque through the development of the fighter. Through the early "V" series to the "B" and "C" series, some of which served in the Spanish Civil war in aid of Fascist Franco regime. For each of the aircraft in this section there are side profiles of the shape of the aircraft, werk numbers if they were a limited production or record attempt, and details on their camouflage and markings. A lot more detail than I have seen in other titles – I am already warmed up!
We go through the "E" type prototypes and then to the production versions of this model in the next few chapters, this is the real star of this book so most people will be very interested in this part. This is put together like the earlier models play-by-play, showing specifics when it needs to and the changes between the different models in point form and description as well as pictures.
In the chapter about camouflage and marking we pretty much get what it says on the tin – after a brief disclaimer about not every aircraft always being the same as orders said they should be (too true) we are taken through the early models and their markings in the Spanish conflict, with several pictures of these lesser known aircraft – and some good ones at that that show off some peculiarities. We also get a description of the unit markings that many of you may have seen on these aircraft "the hat", "Mickey Mouse" and "The Wooden eye" Quite interesting reading.
Into proper "Luftwaffe" service – we look at some early "C" and "D" version and the "E's" that were used in the west from 1937 onwards. We are walked through the often confusing lettering and symbols on the sides of these aircraft in Luftwaffe service (< - I o etc.) which was a great help. We talk national markings as well as the infamous (to modellers anyway) change from using the darker camouflage colours to the slightly lighter 02/71 shades. Several pictures of well-known and very mean looking yellow nosed Messerschmitt's flesh out this section very well and help explain the change from bright blue sides on these aircraft to mottled sides in operations over the channel and in the battle of Britain. We also investigate a grey scheme (complete with more disclaimers just in case people are not getting it) that is a theory but not a proven one. It is good to know these things though and it would be remiss to not have this in the book – well done Mr Franks.
We look at several Afrika aircraft in this section as well before we look at the aircraft of the allies of Germany and the neutral country of Switzerland as well. There are top down coloured line drawings showing the evolution of the camouflage patterns of this aircraft through the theatres of war, as well as an excellent guide as to where the warning and aircraft stencilling goes on the painted airframe.
There are several pages of great aircraft profiles next. Drawn by the well-known Richard Caruana they are of top quality and show nearly every different user of the type. These look very nice to me, and although there is a trend now to show aircraft profiles weathered these do me just fine. This section is topped off with unit badges who operated the early '109.
The next subject is something that modellers in 1/144,1/72nd, 1/48th,1/32nd and 1/24th will cherish – it is a kit guide of early Messerschmitt 109's that shows pretty much every kit of note – including the very latest 48th kits from Eduard, and the 32nd kits from Trumpeter and Cyber Hobby This is a great gift to modellers, as the author takes us through every facet of each of these models – some from the same moulds but these differences are noted in the text.
The accuracy of the kit, the panel lines, decals, and special features are all mentions and this is a really great starting place for anyone wanting to make their own kit but who maybe isn't sure about a kit. This part could save you a lot of money and heartache!
The next section the modellers get more bang for their buck with a grouping of excellent builds displaying many of the kits mentioned in the last section. These are all pretty immaculate builds with great photography; the builders do not shy away with pointing out a few things they do not like about the kits here and there which is the best type of review you could get really. At least you know they are on the level.
The progression of the airframe is shown next through a series of 3D isometric views by Jacek Jackiewicz. I love these as they show a better angle than just a side on look - Werk numbers when needed + how if in any way the airframe has been modified from a previous version + any special points are brought up here.
The next section is a very detailed "walk around" section displaying in textbook drawings, part breakdowns in service manuals and often coloured pictures each part of the aircraft. Four aircraft were studied and used in the making of this book, and the pictures here are excellent. It seems the authors were able to climb around the aircraft or had access to a lot of it, which is better than most of us get. Although this section has a lot of text for the drawings in German you can see what is going on and I think these drawings will help scratchbuilders especially.
There is a concise kit and aftermarket point list in the rear including decals and books accompanied with many pictures, there really hasn't been any leaf unturned here. A long list of books is also included in an extensive bibliography of the type as well.
Last but definitely not least is the two fold-out aircraft scale plans in the rear of the book. These are on thick , very good quality paper, These are of the "V", "B", "D", "T9" and "E1" & "E7" aircraft – a great resource – they are in 1/48th scale which a third of modellers will no doubt not like ( not their scale) but it is the most popular scale for serious modellers and it fits in more drawings – a compromise had to be made – we can't all have it our way I suppose. Notwithstanding scaliest issues they are great drawings, very detailed and a most welcome way to top off the book as they can be removed if needed without destroying the book.
Well again Valiant In my opinion has got the "All-in-one" definitive book for the modeller. A shame a few more of the modern publishers haven't cottoned onto this yet – this is the blueprint guys…..
If you like the '109 or modelling then this book is for you.
Thanks to Valiant Wings Publishing for this great one-stop-shop book.


The Marks 1698 at NW Estates is an ideal family home. This plan is very similar to the Alva 1548, however it includes 150 more square feet of living space and a more spacious master bathroom design. The main living area features a great room that opens up to a beautiful kitchen with center island, pantry and dining area. As you walk down the hallway you'll find a coat closet, laundry closet and linen closet. The master bedroom is on the right at the end of the hallway. The remaining three bedrooms are to the left down the hallway and all include walk-in-closets. The Marks also has options which include: an office (replaces bedroom 4), a 10x12' covered patio off the back of the home, and an upgraded master bathroom with separate tile shower and spa tub.


Eliminating the use of plastic is a decisive step in the way to conserve the planet, hence biodegradable alternatives have been developed such as silicone bags or waxed fabrics. The latest advance, a natural protective spray.
The initiative came after several years of research and tests developed by Portuguese scientists at the Mountain Research Center of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (northern Portugal), the coordinator, Isabel Ferreira, explained today to EFE.
The key lies in the extract of a common plant and a polymer of algae from which this spray has been created to spray solid foods and protect them for a period of time.
"At the moment, we can not disclose the formula achieved or the plant from which the extract is obtained," Ferreira said, since the process for registering the patent is not yet complete.
They have baptized it with the name of "Spraysafe" and it is a type of technology obtained from a series of experiments with plant extracts with antioxidant, preservative and antimicrobial capacity.
All its components have a natural base, so it is sustainable.
"As in plant extracts there are antioxidants, the spray reduces the oxidation of food", that is, their fats do not get rancid, according to the coordinator.
A second benefit is "its antimicrobial capacity, since it reduces the growth of fungi, yeasts and bacteria".
In addition, it waterproofs the food, which reduces its dehydration and, in that way, allows to better maintain the flavors and aromas.
Isabel Ferreira also highlights other benefits of its application, especially for large commercial areas.
The spray allows to gain time on the plastic packaging, which will result in an economic benefit and, above all, will report progress in compliance with the conservation policies of the planet, the researcher argued.
Among the limitations of the "Spraysafe", to date, figure that can only be used with solid foods.
"At this time, it is mainly applied to solid foods, such as sausages, cut fruits or mushrooms, among others," explained Ferreira, who was hopeful to be able to use this spray in other types of products, once, later, can adapt the technology developed with other natural polymers.
Although "it is still premature", from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança they hope that in the near future they can use and commercialize the "Spraysafe".

Q: About an integral equation I would like to obtain $g$  by solving the following integral equation
$$ \int_s^T R(u) dg(u) + f(s,T)\int_s^T g(u)du =0$$
where $f,R:\mathbb R _+ ^*\rightarrow \mathbb R _+ $and $g: \mathbb R _+
   \rightarrow[0,1]$  is

*

*non-decreasing continuous function,

*$g(0)=1$,

*$g(T)<1$

*$\lim _{s\to
   \infty}g(s)=0$.

One can think about g as being such that  $g= 1- F$ where $F$ is the law of an
   absolute continuous random variable.
If we assume that $g$ is differentiable then we have
$$ \int_s^T \left(f(s,T)g(u)+R(u) g'(u)\right) ~du =0, \quad \forall s \in [0,T] $$
So I am tempted to conclude that
$$ f(s,T)g(u)+R(u) g'(u)=0, \quad \forall u \in [s,T]$$
therefore
$$g(s) = \exp\left(-\int _0^s \frac{f(\tau,T)}{R(\tau)}~d\tau\right), \quad \forall u \in [0,T]$$
Is my approach correct or have I made a mistake when I assumed that the integrand is zero as the integral is zero for each $s$ ?
I have no restrictions on $f$ and $R$ for the moment so we can assume any necessary condition about $f$ as necessary to solve it.
Could anybody give me an opinion please? Please leave a comment.
All advices are appreciated.

Edit
A friend wisely advised me to take a look at Volterra integral
 equation which is exactly what we have here after integrating by parts
 the first integral and inverting the time as follows ( after that point I use
 the notation abuse  $R(u): =R(-u), g(u):=g(-u) \text{ and } f(t,T) = f(-t,T) $):
$$g(t) = \alpha + \int_{-T }^t K_T(t,u))g(u) du $$
where $\alpha := (Rg)(-T)$ and $$K_T(t,u):=\frac{R'(u) +  f(t,T)}{R(t)}$$

Second part
Actually all the previous part of this question was a preliminary to my true problem. I was strugling in that previous case and would like to know iff there was a way to have a closed form solution to that.
My ambition was to understand better the previous case in order to adapt it to the case where $\left(f(t,T)\right)_{t \in [0,T]}$ with known dynamic .
Then I started to think about a numeric approach to solve this Voltera integral equation if a stochastic Kernel but a first problem that comes to my mind is that  it anticipate the value of $f$.
Many thanks
I posted this question some days ago at mathexchange

A: As was indicated in the answer at https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1021510/about-an-integral-equation, you can transform your integral equation into the second order differential equation. Somewhat simpler equation, than indicated there, can be obtained in the following way. After integration by parts, your equation becomes $$R(T)g(T)-R(s)g(s)-\int\limits_s^Tg(u)R^\prime(u)du+f(s)\int\limits_s^T g(u) du=0.$$
Differentiating with respect to $s$, we get
$$-R(s)g^\prime(s)+f^\prime(s)\int\limits_s^T g(u) du-f(s)g(s)=0,$$
or $$\frac{R(s)}{f^\prime(s)}g^\prime(s)+\frac{f(s)}{f^\prime(s)}g(s)=\int\limits_s^T g(u) du. \tag{1}$$
To obtain the first equation, we have used
$$\frac{d}{ds}\int\limits_s^T F(u) du=-F(s),$$
valid for any function $F(s)$. Differentiating (1) once more, we get
$$\left(\frac{R(s)}{f^\prime(s)}\right)^\prime g^\prime(s)+
\left(\frac{R(s)}{f^\prime(s)}\right)g^{\prime\prime}(s)+\left(\frac{f(s)}{f^\prime(s)}\right)^\prime g(s)+\left(\frac{f(s)}{f^\prime(s)}\right)g^\prime(s)=-g(s),$$
which implies the following equation
$$g^{\prime\prime}+\frac{1}{Rf^\prime}\left[R^\prime f^\prime-Rf^{\prime\prime}+ff^\prime\right]g^\prime+\frac{1}{Rf^\prime}\left[2f^{\prime\,2}-ff^{\prime\prime}\right]g=0.$$
This equation can be easily solved if $2f^{\prime\,2}-ff^{\prime\prime}=0$. For example, if $$f=\frac{T}{s}.$$ Introducing an auxiliary function $h(s)=g^\prime(s)$, we can easily separate variables and get
$$\frac{dh}{h}=-\left[\frac{d}{ds}\left(\ln{(R(s)s^2)}\right)+\frac{T}{sR(s)}\right]ds.$$
Therefore,
$$\frac{dg}{ds}=h(s)=h(T)\frac{R(T)T^2}{R(s)s^2}\exp{\left(-\int\limits_T^s\frac{Tdu}{uR(u)}\right)}.$$ Integrating once more and using $g(0)=1$, we get finally
$$g(s)=1+h(T)R(T)T^2\int\limits_0^s\frac{du}{R(u)u^2}\exp{\left(-\int\limits_T^u\frac{Tdv}{vR(v)}\right)}.$$
Here $h(T)$ is determined from the condition $g(\infty)=0$.
For example, if $R(s)=\frac{T^3}{s^2}$, we get
$$g(s)=1+\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}e^{1/2}Th(T)\,\rm{Erf}{\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{2}\,T}\right)},$$ where the error function is defined as usual: $$ \rm{Erf}(s)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int\limits_0^s e^{-x^2}dx.$$
Then applying the $g(\infty)=0$ condition determines $h(T)$ and gives
$$g(s)=1-\rm{Erf}\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{2}\,T}\right).$$

McLeod Russel shares on Wednesday closed at Rs154.05 each on BSE, up 1.38%, in a weak market.
Kolkata: Williamson Magor Group's McLeod Russel India Ltd, the world's largest tea plantation company, on Wednesday announced that it had formed a committee to explore the sale of multiple tea estates to cut down its debt and to optimise operational efficiency.
The company is looking to raise Rs400-500 crore from the sale of estates, according to Kamal Baheti, McLeod Russel's chief financial officer.
McLeod Russel on Wednesday also announced that it will buy back shares, spending up to Rs100 crore. McLeod Russel said it will be paying up to Rs210 a share under the buy-back. The company's shares on Wednesday closed at Rs154.05 each on BSE, up 1.38%, in a weak market.
Mint had reported on 18 May that McLeod Russel had signed non-disclosure agreements with potential buyers to explore the possibility of selling some of its estates.
The company said it produces 67 million kgs of tea a year from its own estates in India. The board is of the view that this is "disproportionately" high and that this should be brought down to make the operations more efficient, McLeod Russel said in its statement.
McLeod Russel is looking to sell 8-10 tea estates in Assam with a combined yield of around 10 million kgs, according to a person familiar with the plans. McLeod Russel has received expressions of interest from multiple potential buyers, this person said, asking not to be named.
McLeod Russel expects a valuation of at least Rs400 per kg of production for its estates in Assam, according to this person.
Asked which the company is looking to sell tea estates in Assam, Baheti declined to comment. He, however, said McLeod Russel is looking to sell its four estates in the Dooars region of West Bengal.
Last year, the company sold one of its estates in the Dooars. But it is likely to keep its blending unit in the Dooars, Baheti added.
McLeod Russel currently has around Rs1,000 crore of debt, according to Baheti. By the end of the current financial year, the company is looking to bring it down by Rs500-600 crore, he said. Proceeds of the sale are also going to be used to launch a packet tea business through a joint venture with Eveready Industries India Ltd, McLeod Russel said in its statement.
Meanwhile, the company on Wednesday reported a standalone net loss of Rs142.09 crore in the March quarter, as compared with a net loss of Rs107.83 crore in the same period previous year as expenses surged.
Revenue for the quarter at Rs530.37 crore was up 10.09% over last year.
For the full fiscal year, consolidated net profit jumped to Rs230.39 crore from Rs58.57 crore thanks to higher contribution from overseas tea estates. Consolidated revenue for the full year rose 10% to Rs2,055.29. During the year, McLeod Russel combined with its overseas units sold 122 million kgs of tea compared with 114.1 million kgs last year—a growth of 7%.

Hungarian opposition calls for vote after violence
Hungary's main opposition party demanded a national vote within five months to block key parts of Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány's economic reforms, which triggered weeks of street protests and clashes with police.
Security forces were preparing for another night of rioting after battling protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets last night on the 50th anniversary of Hungary's anti-Soviet uprising. Demonstrators have been calling for Gyurcsány's resignation since mid-September. "There is obviously a police presence, we are prepared," police spokesman Oszkár Sas said in a telephone interview yesterday evening. "There is peace and quiet now, but you never know. We are hoping it will stay quiet." Fidesz, which on Monday organized a rally in central Budapest close to where police started clashing with protesters, called for a referendum on economic policies by March. Experts on public television explained that this could not be realized so soon, but maybe only within or about a year. Leaders of Hungary's coalition parties, meanwhile, are pledging to stand by Gyurcsány and his austerity package. The measures are designed to help Hungary cut the biggest budget deficit in the European Union. The EU has said it will not allow Hungary to adopt the euro until it controls its finances. Fidesz's referendum would ask voters if they agree with plans to impose a tuition fee at state universities, to sell hospitals to private companies, to allow supermarkets and gas stations to sell medicines, and to charge a fee visit a doctor.
Health Minister Lajos Molnár, who is pushing health reform measures to clamp down on unnecessary health spending, said a referendum would have little impact on his plans. "The government has a majority, a solid majority, everybody agrees, and they're the ones who vote on laws," he said in an interview in Parliament yesterday. Gábor Kuncze, leader of the junior coalition partner, the Free Democrats' Alliance, reiterated his support for Gyurcsány, the first leader since the collapse of communism in 1989 to win a second term in power in Hungary. "The government must persevere with the program," Kuncze told journalists outside Parliament. "The coalition will see the program through and will stand by the prime minister." Fidesz must collect 200,000 signatures and have referendum questions approved by the National Elections Committee before a vote can be held, Peter Szigeti, the committee's president, said in a telephone interview. Questions can also be challenged in court, lengthening the process by several months, he added.
Damage caused by the Monday riots, mostly to the city's transportation system, was estimated at Ft 200 million ($948,296), the Budapest mayor's office said in a statement yesterday. Officers arrested 131 people and 57 are still in custody, government spokeswoman Emese Danks said in a statement. (Bloomberg)

Q: Java passing variable - downcasting I have a function e.g.
helloworld(list<object> names)
I have the following code :
List<CustomClass> newMe = new ArrayList<CustomClass>();

Now, if i want to pass newMe into helloworld(newMe);. This is not possible because im down casting. How can i overcome this issue? Do i downcast my list to (Object) and then try to upcast it? is there another way? would appreciate an example.
thanks

A: Change the definition of helloworld to
public void helloworld(List<?> names) {
    //method implementation...
}

Take into account that your method won't be able to add or remove elements from the list parameter.

A: Just use a ? as generic type in your parameter list. Example:
public class Foobar {
    public static void helloworld(List<?> names) {

    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<CustomClass> newMe = new ArrayList<>();

        helloworld(newMe);
    }
}


US Open.org presentes the 2014 US Open in the words of those who made it all happen: a he said/she said compendium that says it all.
"I was having flashbacks to my whole career toward the end of that match. It was wild. I was thinking juniors, college. It was an incredible moment. I was trying to stay in the moment, but it was impossible." — Bob Bryan on the US Open men's doubles final, win No. 100 for the Bryan Bros.
"Very happy to see a lot of people even 2 o'clock at the night." — Kei Nishikori after his five-set win over Milos Raonic, which lasted four hours and 19 minutes, finished at 2:26 a.m., and tied the record for latest finish at the US Open.

As the battle for the incorporation of Gluckstadt wages on, the area is experiencing exponential growth.
That's not the only growth the area has seen over the past few years. And if you ask Morrison, it's been substantial.
Madison County Tax Assessor Norman Cannady said the estimated true value for property within the proposed boundaries for Gluckstadt has seen a 12 percent increase since 2016.
In 2016, the estimated true value for property was $416,573,100. It grew to $430,996,700 in 2017. For 2018, it has increased to $466,328,600.
According to Cannady, approximately 30 new businesses have opened within the proposed boundaries for Gluckstadt since 2016.
In 2016, a car wash drive-through, a gym, three offices and a store opened their doors in Gluckstadt. The area saw much commercial growth in 2017 when an auto agency, three offices, a warehouse, two restaurants, four shopping centers, a store and two convenience stores opened.
So far this year, 10 new businesses have opened, including two auto agencies or garages, a gym, two mini storage centers, an office and three warehouses.
The area is also enjoying residential growth as well. Fifty-six single residences have gone up in the past two years. In 2016 and 2017, a total of 14 homes were built. In 2018, so far, approximately 42 residences have been built, according to Cannady.
Many factors contribute to the influx of residents to the Gluckstadt area, including low crime, more room for expansion, and the school district.
The schools are definitely on the grow in Gluckstadt. Germantown High School began its first year of classes for school year 2011-12 with 602 students enrolled.
For school year 2018-19, the school has approximately 1,203 students enrolled.
Germantown Middle School has 1,031 students enrolled. There are 1,959 students enrolled at Madison Crossing Elementary, Mannsdale Elementary School, and Mannsdale Upper Elementary combined.
This comes to a total of 4,193 students enrolled in the Madison County School District's Germantown zone from kindergarten through 12th grade.
However, Madison County School District Superintendent Kimber Halliburton said the schools in the Germantown zone currently have room for more students.
"We at Madison County Schools work closely with a demographer to anticipate and plan for growth before it occurs so that we can be ahead of the game with population trends," she said.
Halliburton said that while the district has not outgrown the campuses within the Germantown zone, school officials monitor growth across the county so that they may anticipate future needs.

Housing crisis impacting forest workers in Tahoe Basin
This is a recurring recording of KOLO 8 News Now at 10.
By Freixys Casado
Published: Jul. 22, 2022 at 12:16 AM PDT
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - No different from our local workforce, those who fight hard to prevent and contain wildfires in our region face serious struggles with finding affordable housing.
Acting Supervisor for the Tahoe National Forest, Matt Jedra says the cost of living near the lake is impacting recruiting of temporary and seasonal staff.
"The past couple of years have been pretty tough for us," he said. "Rents we see around the Truckee community, Forest Hill, upwards of two thousand dollars for rent and with entry-level firefighters come in, it's really tough, they can't afford that."
Some have resorted to making long commutes from places like Sacramento and Reno, and even camping.
"Last year we ended up using one of our administrative sites to allow some of our employees to camp there, as their residence because we couldn't find local housing," said Jedra.
To help with this issue, the Tahoe National Forest is working with other organizations like the Truckee Rangers District to use administrative sites to build.
"High-density, red single-family home, residential housing at an affordable price for our employees but also opening it up to the community," said Jedra. "We got the Truckee District Office right there, almost in downtown Truckee, we also have the Hobart Work Center."
These efforts were shared with the community Thursday afternoon, during a virtual speaker's series prepared by the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation. CEO Stacy Caldwell told KOLO8 News Now that her team wants to bring awareness.
"Somebody might reach out and say 'Gosh, have you thought of this?' or, 'I know somebody who would really love to give to that and I want to make an introduction", she said.
During the virtual event, the Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) also spoke about securing nearly $40 million to construct affordable student housing on campus.
Senior Director of Government Relations & Grant Development, Laura Metune says although it's not a solution to the housing problem it helps the broader picture.
"It is a solution to helping us get more students into this workforce pipeline, it provides them affordable housing while they're completing their education program and their educational program can include credit-based work experience so it could be that students are working in the field while they're living in the facility," she said. "We believe that by putting students on campus, we'll free some of the limited affordable rental housing."
The Tahoe National Forest currently offers government housing that's around 60 to 65 beds, and according to Jedra is already taken.
According to TTCF since capping the number of short-term rentals in Placer County, Landing Locals has seen more people reach out for long-term rentals.

Behind every company… there is a powerful software publisher …behind every software publisher…a goldmine!
The importance of digital transformation is such that the digital interfaces between a company and its clients play a major role in a company's success.
What would Uber be without its mobile interface? Software has gone from being complementary to an offering to being the deciding factor in a purchase, and often the one that wins a market more quickly. The term "uberisation" is now commonly used, sacralizing the supremacy of the user experience over the product itself.
This user experience is based on innovation, which has become the quickest and, when it works, the cheapest way to establish a market position.
It's a well-known formula: take a traditional business, split it up, invest heavily in a multi-terminal software solution and play on the mass market effect. If you're quick enough you can crush the competition, if not you'll get bought out.
But this is just a first step beyond the purely economic activity. A new source of value is to be found in the digital traces we all leave behind us and their monetization. Let's not get into the debate about who the digital trace belongs to; he who walks the path or he who builds it …Whatever, these traces and the use thereof are sources of income. This is the underlying philosophy behind big data - knowing how to collect and monetize the information.
The value that was originally based on a physical offering is displaced to the means of accessing that offering and then to the information generated by using that means.
Historically, a hotel room's value was in the room itself. Today the numerous booking sites have taken precedence over the intrinsic value of the room. It's as if the hotel switchboard now has more value than the hotel itself.
A booking website is not, as one might think, just a practical way to reserve a room, it is also a way to learn a lot about someone. If they are alone or in a couple, their income bracket, if they have children, the countries they visit etc. A wealth of information, which when isolated is of value to the company itself, but when linked to other sources of information provides a very precise profile of the individual's tastes, expectations or plans. This has been made all the easier since we freely participate in linking these various sources of information together via automatic sign up applications such as those offered by Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn…We feed and connect the knowledge bases to an extent that defies imagination.
Seen from this perspective, controlling the channels through which the information circulates is strategic, but internet's architecture makes this difficult, so since one can't control the channels, the point of entry is the solution. This is why software publishers have become the cornerstone of many major industry players. IBM, who understood some time ago that "soft is king" has not only continued to build a catalogue of software offerings, but has also become a resource centre for software publishers (via its tools and Cloud offerings).
Beyond Big Blue, the industry as a whole is chasing software publishers and particularly those specialized in specific lines of business, because having a software publisher "in your hand" now also means having the market they target; an approach by business line also has the advantage of positioning oneself on high-growth markets.
Going back to the example of the hotel business, who would you say knows this market best? The hotel unions, major hotel chains or sites such as Booking.com, Hotel.com, Tripadvisor and such like..? Even worse, or better (depending on your point of view), who knows best the hotels' clients - those same sites or the hotels who are, after all, the product suppliers to the end-users? We live in a world where the manufacturer is becoming just a supplier to the creator of information flux. Just as in distribution the distributor's brands nibble inexorably away at linear metres, one can easily imagine that, after capturing the information flux,major players will move up in the value chain. In fact this is already happening.
Apple and IBM are doing it already!
To give another example, IBM recently teamed up with Apple and Johnson & Johnson to develop a cloud dedicated to health, using "Watson" its artificial intelligence technology. The aim is to collect data from the medical ecosystem. In passing IBM acquired two start-ups Explorys and Phytel. Explorys works in medical data collection.
If you are reading this article you are probably interested in the world of software. Here is a quick overview for you to browse, or, if you are a potential supplier, to develop your market.
The market is very fragmented which is explained by the need for local offerings, due to product interface, but also often because of specific regional rules and regulations. The majority of software publishers employ between 10 and 250 people which makes them relatively easy to prey on, especially since the move to the SaaS business model has taken its toll on cashflow for many of them.
The compuBase database has companies with a declared software publishing activity. This figure continues to increase with the development of web-centered solutions. Now lots of companies can claim they publish software. If competition is tough for business process software publishers (ERP, CRM etc…) and a certain concentration inevitable, business software publishers who boarded the SaaS train in time have a glorious future ahead of them.

Ah, pool. Billiards. The gentleman's game. Is that what they call it? I think that's what they call it. Anyway, there has been no shortage of pool games on modern consoles, and Pool Nation is yet another one.
Pool Nation features both 8 and 9 ball modes across its single-player cups, endurance mode, and multiplayer. The cups pit you against an increasingly tough number of strange looking, and oftentimes scary, pool players. Rest assured, the man named "Fronk L'emur" will haunt my every nightmare. The fact that he thinks he's a lemur makes it even worse.
I honestly thought the progression would be similar to Punch-Out!!, as they bothered to give each opponents name and a short backstory, as well as their own little horrifying headshot, but considering that no physical people show up in the game, that's as far as any of these characters' personalities get. Seriously, the environments are 100% empty.
You can earn up to three stars in each match. One for winning and two others for performing special tasks, such as trick shots or earning a certain score over the course of the match. These stars allow you to unlock bonus matches down the road with alternate rules, and winning these grant you new ball sets, table decals, and cues. There are four cups in total, but the opponents and locations don't change depending if you're playing 8 or 9 ball, which is kind of a bummer.
The game features a decent tutorial that walks you through the basics of the game as well as some advanced tricks, but in the more expert tutorials I found that even though the game gave me green checkmarks indicating that I had performed the correct sequence of events to get the desired shot, the ball still did not go where it was intended. This could be due to the ball physics, which as far as I can gather are pretty darn realistic.
Graphically, the game does look very nice, especially in the tutorials where the action slows down and zooms in to reveal the shiny surface of the balls, and the chalk flying from the impact of cue to ball. This is made nicer by the fact that you can archive matches and watch the replays. However, the fact that no actual people show up during the matches, even watching in the background, gives the admittedly nice arenas a very sparse and empty feel. It's made worse by the ever-present floating cue that circles the board. There be ghosts in these pool halls!
This is the kind of game where you might want to turn down the volume and just pop your iPod in or something, because the 3 or 4 repeating music tracks aren't anything to write home about. There's a little variety between stuff, like contemporary jazz beats to some Unfinished-Swan-sounding piano, but that's about it, really. The fact that the music glitches a little bit when switching tracks isn't much of a plus in the audio department. There isn't even any voice acting, adding to the feel that you're in some sort of lost episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? where ghosts are playing pool.
Despite having limited experience billiards videogames, I can say that Pool Nation does nothing to stand out from the crowd; it's just your standard virtual pool game. There doesn't seem to be anything here that can't be done with other games of the same ilk. Still, it's functional, and if you're jonesing for some virtual 8-ball action, it's not a bad choice.


Remember my post about the largest bounce house ever?!
Over the weekend, me, the kids and our friends went to experience The Big Bounce America, aka, the largest bounce house ever! It was chilly outside but so worth it.
We made the drive from the suburbs into Houston and were amazed when we saw how massive the bounce house was. We arrived about 15 minutes earlier than our bounce time, got our wristbands and waited in line. I can't tell you how excited everyone was, kids and adults alike. While we waited there were games to play as well as a HUGE setup for pics.
When it was time to enter, we began the bounce that lasted an hour. There were different things to do all over it. An obstacle course, basketball, ball pit, slide and so much more. A DJ performed all the popular songs in the middle of the space.
Princess A enjoyed the obstacle course most of all, while for Prince C it was the ball pit. I loved it all and would have definitely paid and stayed for the adults only session at the end of the night!
Here are some photos from our time at the Big Bounce.
We highly recommend checking it out when it comes to your city.
