She’s A Rare Find. But That Diamond You’re About To Buy Her… Not So Much!
June 14, 2013
‘As soon as you leave the jeweler with a diamond, it loses over 50% of its value.’
– Rohin Dhar, BusinessInsider.com
Fellas, why… why do we do it? With the money we spend convincing your special lady, her friends, and every onlooker (now and in the future) of the eternal love we have for her… with a big shiny rock… an investment in a nice nest egg could be made. Within a few years, you’d both have some real ‘finance for the romance’ down the road. But instead,
That’s right. The ‘grand tradition’ of showing everlasting love with a rare diamond started as a marketing campaign… and the tradition isn’t even a century old! Plus, that ‘rare’ diamond isn’t even all that rare. De Beers holds the diamond supply in check to make it seem that way.

Technology: Saving Lives and Property on the Coast With a Tsunami Barrier (Video)

The twin-wing Tsunami Flood Barrier (TWSB) has been developed by Van den Noort Innovations in order to disrupt and neutralize a tsunami flood wave.

But while I’m watching this again with you, let’s look at the big picture: This is science applied for the purpose of saving lives and livelihoods. Good tech.

Hard To Earn, Too Costly To Learn: How For-Profit Colleges Saddle African-American Students With Staggering Debt
June 13, 2013
President Obama echoes the sentiment of Black people throughout the ages in America: The key to “winning the future†is to get educated. Get educated, get paid, live the American Dream. That’s the path to prosperity right… right?
Well, Kai Wright of Salon.com writes that something isn’t right:
Have we been had, hoodwinked, and bamboozled again? Kai makes a powerful argument. And were he here to speak on it today, Malcolm X might well quip: Plymouth rock landed on us. We climbed from under it. Then they dropped a mountain of debt on top of us!
Several of the top for-profit colleges are run by financiers, not educators. Damn. Now, more than ever, it costs to be poor; and it pays to exploit those striving for more.
