Where does he get off dedicating himself to bad mouth us? Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black! I just do not understand him. How can we that bad, being called morons, crackpots, etc., when we have patents (especially our Japanese patent that took 8 years because they are much more thorough in their patent scrutiny), along with our esteemed associates, subcontractors/manufacturers (certainly UIC is one of the most respected world-class organizations) and on and on? Is he working for the Taliban or our large established corporate competition? Throughout this whole ordeal of Sarfatti's rantings the past few years, Sarfatti has not come up with one iota of proof of what part of our proposed aerospace propulsion design that he finds fault with. I really do not think he is bright enough to understand our design. He only wants to be one of the naysayers in hopes that we will be wrong which will make him appear to be the guy to go to for getting approval for any new designs.

Please let me know what you think as I want to send you one of the promotion books. This is so depressing Gary.

There is no feedback of these forecasts on-demand, on a PC.

To be added to our FREE automated email distribution list, simply visit www.wainhouse.com/bulletin. Andrew W. Davis, [email protected] Lotusphere 2009 Highlights WR analysts Andy Nilssen and Brent Kelly carried the Wainhouse Research banner at the Lotusphere 2009 conference held in Orlando January 18 – January 22. One surprising tidbit was that attendance for the 7,000+ end users attending the event was up 2% over last year, which correlates with our recent WRB survey that spending in conferencing and collaboration, and IT in general is expected to be slightly UP over 2008 levels in spite of the current economic difficulties. IBM Lotus and its partners made many announcements including: ¾ LotusLive (www.lotuslive.com), a cloud-based portfolio of social networking and collaboration services designed for business. For those familiar with Bluehouse, IBM’s year-long beta of its services offering, LotusLive is the resulting commercial version. The current quick services list includes IM/Presence (think Sametime), web conferencing (Unyte), colleague networking (think Connections), activities (to-do lists, project tracking), file repository (with access control, revision tracking); email will be added shortly (based in part on IBM’s recent acquisition of Outblaze). Proving that LotusLive is going to be more than just what Lotus can muster (and, it turns out, to help get the word out as well) Lotus also announced LotusLive will integrate with the service offerings from LinkedIn (people search), Skype (VoIP & video conferencing), and Salesforce.com – offerings that touch over 400 million users today.

  • SPERI Paper No. 13 Climate Risk, Big Data and the Weather Market
    SPERI Paper No. 13 Climate Risk, Big Data and the Weather Market. Jo Bates About the author Jo Bates Jo Bates is a Lecturer in Information Politics and Policy in the Information School, University of Sheffield. She researches the political economy of data, particularly data sets that are produced by public bodies and which are often referred to as Public Sector Information. Her research focuses on understanding the socio- cultural and political economic factors shaping developments in this field, including the ideas, practices and policies shaping the production and distribution of public data sets and their re-use by third parties including citizens and businesses. Her research has explored the development of the UK’s Open Government Data initiative. Her current project is focused on the distribution and re-use of weather data. ISSN 2052-000X Published in May 2014 SPERI Paper No. 13 – Climate Risk, Big Data and the Weather Market 1 Introduction In a recent SPERI paper, Colin Hay and Tony Payne (2013) develop the concept of “The Great Uncertainty” to describe our current era. They point to “three major processes of structural change” which underlie this uncertainty – financial crisis, shifting economic power and environmental threat – arguing that, despite their differing historical timespans, these deep structural changes are all taking place in the present and “arguably will come to a head at broadly the same time” (Hay & Payne 2013, p. 3). This paper draws together two core elements of “The Great Uncertainty” – financial crisis and environmental threat – with Sandra Braman’s (2006) concept of “informational power” to explore the relationship between this uncertain terrain and developments in (‘big’) data analytics.

  • An Ensemble of Deep Learning Models for Weather Nowcasting Based on Radar Products’ Values Prediction
    applied sciences Article NowDeepN: An Ensemble of Deep Learning Models for Weather Nowcasting Based on Radar Products’ Values Prediction Gabriela Czibula 1,*,† , Andrei Mihai 1,† and Eugen Mihule¸t 2 1 Department of Computer Science, Babe¸s-BolyaiUniversity, 400084 Cluj-Napoca, Romania; [email protected] 2 Romanian National Meteorological Administration, 013686 Bucharest, Romania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-264-405327 † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: One of the hottest topics in today’s meteorological research is weather nowcasting, which is the weather forecast for a short time period such as one to six hours. Radar is an important data source used by operational meteorologists for issuing nowcasting warnings. With the main goal of helping meteorologists in analysing radar data for issuing nowcasting warnings, we propose NowDeepN, a supervised learning based regression model which uses an ensemble of deep artificial neural networks for predicting the values for radar products at a certain time moment. The values predicted by NowDeepN may be used by meteorologists in estimating the future development of potential severe phenomena and would replace the time consuming process of extrapolating the radar echoes. NowDeepN is intended to be a proof of concept for the effectiveness of learning from radar data relevant patterns that would be useful for predicting future values for radar products based on their historical values. For assessing the performance of NowDeepN, a set of experiments on real radar data provided by the Romanian National Meteorological Administration is conducted. The impact of a data cleaning step introduced for correcting the erroneous radar products’ values is investigated both from the computational and meteorological perspectives.
