Posts treating: "money"

I’m currently in the process of moving to Denmark. My plan is mostly going as I thought it would do. With one minor exception, I’m having less money then I expected due to the computer failure I had … Continue reading
A new analysis helps consumers choose which appliances to swap for more efficient models and save money in the process, with some surprising results. Best buys include the furnace and water heater, rather than the more visible clothes dryer and refrigerator, the researchers
Scientist Steven Vogel died today. In early 2007 I called Steven Vogel out of the blue -- we'd never met -- expecting a short, maybe even hostile response from such an important man. We talked for over an hour that first time, and that hour profoundly influenced me and Little River Research. I knew there was a need for a small turnkey teaching flume and hoped to answer it; he mentioned "swim tunnels" in his papers.He sent me a stack of notes, and many digital files and said "build [...]
It has become so easy for us here in NYC to turn on the tap without realizing the hardship, unimaginable sacrifices and money that have allowed us this incredible resource at the mere flick of a finger. We returned to the downstream end of the aqueducts with a newfound appreciation of the hard work we saw first-hand and an understanding of how special our water really
This is fun speculation, the good part about science that never gets outside the ivory walls. We used to call this 'corridor talk' or 'beer gab'. Such talk is the heart and soul of science, and it has been killed by the PR department, and the need to be 'never wrong'. Canada is talking about pouring billions into science, money we don't have, but it will be wasted if it goes down

In many countries (like the UK/France or Italy), this kind of data would cost you a ton of money. Here in the U.S. our weather data is very cheap. Check out the press release from NOAA today below: Partnering with Amazon Web Services on Big Data This visualization, created with NEXRAD Level II data, depicts Hurricane Katrina as it made landfall in 2005. On October 27, 2015, Amazon Web Services(link
Where is Canada's place in the world? What can we do to make an impact and get oodles of money? Obviously Big J would want to invest in roads and transit, but does that actually do anything?
These are some of the big things:
Turn Toronto into Palo Alto. We have the tech talent, and the big underground downtown. All we need to do is turn our expertise in penny mining stocks to tech
Let’s assume that the European Center for Medium Range Forecasting did not exist, or perhaps that it does, but their ECMWF weather model was top- secret, and no one outside of their office was allowed to see it. That’s a real nightmare scenario because if it were not for the Euro model, we would have likely seen major evacuations, or they would have been underway, when the U.S. models finally
It takes an incredible amount of money and effort to retrieve a sediment core from below the sea. So we make sure we squeeze them for every last drop of scientific data, (sometimes literally) with an absolute GAUNTLET of tests.

I was still technically part of a research group after I'd finished grad school. The primary grant that I had worked under had a few stipulations, one of which was that the research group would present the findings of the work at x number of national/international conferences. The grant-giving organization had money set aside specifically for the conference attendance, and to make a long
Early warning systems are a seismologist's wet dream. Remember that these guys can't do math, and have no concept how shaking damages things. All they know is that these systems bring in lots of money, and they lobby the politicians relentlessly. Any money for this is taken out of strong ground motion recording.
They work like this: In an ideal world, you have a tiny fault rupture, at
My California son has started.
This the web site.
Throw your money at it! I've spent enough money on the education. If it is successful, maybe I get some travel out of it, if my son is generous. :)
The modus operandi of Silicon Valley startups is to attack the margin of monopolists, such as taxi cabs. This venture is a shot at the whole mortgage industry including the banks. Soon,
I had this title in my Earthquakes g+ collection. As you know, g+ is for people who don't talk much, and that's a lousy basis for social network. It will never pull in more money than it costs.
Basically, the title refers to the massive purge of earthquake intellect from that fine state. Nobody will now touch it with a barge-pole, except me. The last investigative journalists from Tulsa

So why is almost every city in danger of being wiped out at 1 in 500? That's because everybody and their dog build to living memory, which is about 1 in 100. Thus New Orleans only builds seawalls for Granpappy's Great Storm. They wouldn't get any money to build better.
There was this guy who saved a Japanese coastal village by building a 50 foot high seawall. He inspired everybody and

We're now two weeks from the end of the Mammoth is Mopey Indiegogo campaign I've posted about here a few times and tweeted about prolifically. In the interest of keeping promotion fresh, we've hopped on the quiz bandwagon. They're scientifically proven to be the number one way to come to self-knowledge in the hustle and bustle of this digital world. No hallucinogens, fasting, or pilgrimage required! We're just about 65% funded, and it's totally possible for us to reach full funding. As a [...]
On the flight from Dallas to Vancouver, I sat next to a young man on his way to Whistler for tow days of skiing. His three friends, also to Whistler to ski, sat just behind us. They are all in the American Airlines procurement department. Hence the free flights and money to spend at Whistler.
From Wikipedia.. they are GREAT! Go give them some money!
Today.. a short instructional on tropical "cushion stars" which is a common name I HATE because it just describes so many different types of sea star species.. BUT if any one starfish species COULD be the "rightful" bearer of THIS common name, its the one called Culcita.
Why? Because its name is LITERALLY translated as "pillow
I've been wanting to get some Devonian fossils from Morocco that were not trilobites for some time now. My thought was that they had to exist out there in the desert but that they weree just being overlooked by the collectors since they could make more money selling trilobites. Lucky for me that I stumbled upon a dealer on Facebook who did have some brachiopods from Jebel Issomour for sale and I snapped them up.This is Glyptogypa multiplicata and comes from rocks dated to the Eifelian [...]
