Western Antarctic ice sheet collapse has already begun, scientists warn

Guardian: The collapse of the Western Antarctica ice sheet is already under way and is unstoppable, two separate teams of scientists said on Monday. The glaciers' retreat is being driven by climate change and is already causing sea-level rise at a much faster rate than scientists had anticipated. The loss of the entire western Antarctica ice sheet could eventually cause up to 4 metres (13ft) of sea-level rise, devastating low-lying and coastal areas around the world. But the researchers said that even...

Here's a short history on computer science student enrollments. Leading up to the dot.com bust, computer science enrollments soared to new highs, and then they plunged. Like a rock. Computer science graduates at Ph.D. granting institutions reached a low of 8,021 in 2007, down from 14,185 in the 2003-2004.

Suited for fluid or air transfer, Vardex® is made of clear, chemical-resistant PVC and reinforced with spiral steel wire. Construction permits bend radius of ~4X hose ID and handles pressure as well as full vacuum (29.9 in./Hg). Resistant to corrosion and abrasion, non-toxic hose offers flexibility, conforms to FDA standards, and comes in 9 sizes from ¼–2 in. ID. Hose assemblies with permanently crimped-on fittings are available, along with other fittings and clamps in plastic and metal. This story is related to the following:Reinforced Hose | PVC Hose | Hose

Scientists predict modern society collapse
2014-04-18 13:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Examiner: Using research tools developed for another NASA activity, some researchers have published a report on the current civilization's doom. It asserts that estimated carrying capacity is a practical early way of detecting collapse. The study assesses the risk for collapse from five factors, population, climate, water, agriculture and energy. Whenever these have merged into two main criteria in the past 5,000 years, society has collapsed. The two are "the stretching of resources due to the strain placed...
