Las tecnologias utilizadas nos muestran ingeniosos procedimientos de ingenieria \avant la letre", que han unido a su utilidad una gran belleza y constituyen un gran patrimonio historico de obras hidraulicas. Pero el descubrimiento de la maquina de vapor, y despues de la electricidad, introdujo cambios sustanciales en la relacion del hombre con el agua y la energia. Se podian aprovechar grandes desniveles para generar energia y se poda utilizar energia para utilizar el agua en sitios distantes, o a mayores cotas respecto del punto de captacion. Las posibilidades de utilizar la energia potencial del agua aumentaron enormemente con la union de turbina y alternador, transformando la energia mecanica en electrica, que poda transportarse y usarse a largas distancias. Las bombas hidraulicas utilizaban energia para dar presion al agua, invirtiendo su camino natural en los rios o acuiferos. El agua y la energia de ella obtenida que siempre se habian utilizado en las cercanias del rio podian disociarse y trasladarse a lugares distantes: se abrio una revolucion energetica y de intensificacion de usos del agua para el abastecimiento de poblaciones, el regadio y la industria.

...To succeed as an entrepreneur, you must develop the ability to select and offer the right products or services to your customers in a competitive market. More than any other factor, your ability to make this choice will determine your success or failure. Fully 80 percent of the products and services being consumed today are different from those that were being consumed five years ago. And five years from today, fully 80 percent of the products being used will be new and different from those being used today. There are thousands of products and services available to consumers today. And there are unlimited opportunities for you to enter the marketplace and compete effectively with a new product or service that's better in some way than what's already being offered by your competitors. Remember, your skill at choosing that product or service is critical to your success. The most important thing you can do before deciding what to sell is to think. And the more you think about a product or service before you bring it to market, the better your decisions will be. So how do you start?

...Compare and Contrast of Select Leadership Models Leadership comes in different forms and in different aspects of life from private business to government entities (Wren, 1995, p. 5). The models of leadership used are dependent upon the individual attributes of the leaders, for example traits, values, self-identity, skills, and competencies (Yukl, 2013, p. 136). A close look at select leadership models and how they compare and contrast with each other provides insight into the types of leadership that might be employed within organizations as they face various leadership issues and challenges. In this paper, we will review four leadership models: charismatic, servant, situational, and transformational. A separate discussion describing similarities and differences between the models as they apply. As similarities and differences are identified, we will discuss how contemporary leadership issues and challenges are addressed within the scope of each leadership model. Leadership Models Charismatic Leadership A charismatic leader has three key dimensions that Weber (1968) identified as concepts of charisma that include vision or mission, extraordinary or exceptional qualities, and recognition (as cited in Avolio and Yammarino, 2013, p. 167). Transformational leadership closely resembles charismatic leadership as both are vision related and empowering; however the main difference deals with the expectations set by the leader. Charismatic leaders typically set unrealistic expectations...
