http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/03/slaughter-bridge-uncovering-colossal-bronze-age-battle About 3200 years ago, two armies clashed at a river crossing near the Baltic Sea. The confrontation can’t be found in any history books—the written word didn’t become common in these parts for another 2000 years—but this was no skirmish between local clans. Thousands of warriors came together in a brutal struggle, perhaps fought on a single day, using weapons crafted from wood, flint, and bronze, a metal that was then the height of military technology. Struggling to find solid footing on the banks of the Tollense River, a narrow ribbon of water that flows through the marshes of northern Germany toward the Baltic Sea, the armies fought hand-to-hand, maiming and killing with war clubs, spears, swords, and knives. Bronze- and flint-tipped arrows were loosed at close range, piercing skulls and lodging deep into the bones of young men. Horses belonging to high-ranking warriors crump...

http://qz.com/643234/cambridge-professor-on-how-to-stop-being-so-easily-manipulated-by-misleading-statistics/ “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Few people know the struggle of correcting such lies better than David Spiegelhalter. Since 2007, he has been the Winton professor for the public understanding of risk (though he prefers “statistics” to “risk”) at the University of Cambridge. In a sunlit hotel room in Washington DC, Quartz caught up with Spiegelhalter recently to talk about his unique job. The conversation sprawled from the wisdom of eating bacon (would you swallow any other known carcinogen?), to the serious crime of manipulating charts, to the right way to talk about rare but scary diseases. When he isn’t fixing people’s misunderstandings of numbers, he works to communicate numbers better so that misunderstandings can be avoided from the beginning. The interview is edited and condensed for clarity. Quartz: You have one of...

http://www.thenation.com/article/universities-are-becoming-billion-dollar-hedge-funds-with-schools-attached/ H ave you heard the latest wisecrack about Harvard? People are calling it a hedge fund with a university attached. They have a point—Harvard stands at the troubling intersection between higher education and high finance, with over 15 percent of its massive $38 billion endowment invested in hedge funds. That intersection is getting crowded. Yale’s comparatively modest $26 billion endowment, for example, made hedge fund managers $480 million in 2014, while only $170 million was spent on things like tuition assistance and fellowships for students. “I was going to donate money to Yale. But maybe it makes more sense to mail a check directly to the hedge fund of my choice,” Malcolm Gladwell tweeted last summer, causing a commotion that landed him on NPR . This story was supported by the  Economic Hardship Reporting Project...

http://mulyantongeblog.blogspot.co.id/2016/03/kisah-banjir-rutin-kab-bandung.html Beberapa hari ini lagi ramai berita banjir di bandung yang meneggelamkan rumah-rumah hingga 2-3 m. Lah kok bisa? Bandung itu ketinggiannya 600-700 m diatas laut. Bandung sebenarnya adalah cekungan di pegunungan. Dijaman purba merupakan danau, dan daerah banjir sekarang yaitu daerah kabupatan bandung sepanjang aliran sungan citarum merupakan dasar danau yang terendah. Sementara wilayah kodya bandung terletak di tempat yang lebih tinggi (masih dasar danau purba juga). kalau kita bikin elevation profile antara dago dan soreang maka hasilnya : Tampak bahwa daerah banjir merupakan dasar cekungan pada ketinggian 666 m - 661 m, yang sebagian besar terdapat dalam wilayah kabupaten bandung, sebagian lainnya di gedebage wilayah kodya bandung (gedebage pada 666 m - 664 m). Seperti pada gambar dibawah : Sementara daerah yang dikotakin "parah" adalah daerah kampung cig...
