11,000 Miles, 3 Continents, 14 Countries, 102 Days: Q&A with Adventurer Reza Pakravan

Reza Pakravan is one tough cyclist. In 2013, he pedaled 11,000 miles from the Arctic Circle down the length of the planet to southernmost Africa. The journey took 102 days–approximately 107 miles per day for more than three months. Accompanied by cyclist Steven Pawley, Reza endured incredible hardships: malaria and food poisoning, torrential rains, blistering desert temperatures, dehydration, heat stroke. Why? To raise money for schools in one of Africa's poorest nations.
The so-called Kapp to Cape ride (named for the starting point in Nordkapp, Norway, and the finish line in Cape Town, South Africa) was dangerous and difficult, but one aspect was painless: Reza's bike. He rode one of the world's finest touring and trekking bikes, a Koga Signature World Traveler with a Rohloff internally geared hub and Gates Carbon Drive. Incredibly, he completed the 11,000-mile journey on one belt.
RoadBikeReview contributor Paul Tolme caught up with Reza, a 39-year-old former financial analyst from London, and filed this Q&A about the ride.

Question: Tell us about yourself and Kapp to Cape.
Reza Pakravan: I'm an office worker, not a professional cyclist. We planned for two years for this trip, the logistics and financing and training. Steven and I did some bike trips in the Alps and Morocco and England to work out the details.
Question: What were some of the hardships?
Reza Pakravan: Whatever could go wrong did. In Scandinavia we had 14 days of nonstop torrential rain. It was miserable. In Russia we had eight tire punctures in 24 hours. The Russian roads are terrible. In Egypt we got caught up in Muslim Brotherhood protests and had to have police escorts. In Ethiopia I got food poisoning. Steven got food poisoning, too, and we both lost lots of weight. In Kenya we cycled on roads of very sharp volcanic gravel. It was hard just to keep the bikes upright and balanced while carrying 60-plus pounds of gear.
Reza has hospitalized twice, in Kenya and Tanzania. Photo Courtesy Reza Pakravan
Question: You had to be hospitalized in Kenya and Tanzania?
Reza Pakravan: Yes. When we got to Nairobi I was shivering with a high fever. Seventy miles later I couldn't continue and I collapsed. Steven took me to a hospital, a basic clinic really, where they tested my blood and found I had malaria. It took six days to get out of there. I got out of the hospital bed and we were on the road again a few hours later. In Tanzania we ran out of water in the desert. It was 400 miles of desolation in blistering heat. I got heat stroke and collapsed, and Steven laid me down in the shade. Thankfully someone stopped and rescued us and took us to the hospital.
Question: What were the high points?
Reza Pakravan: Finishing was so awesome. I wanted to keep going. The other incredible thing is the strangers who helped us along the way, gave us food, shelter and water. We slept in the home of a Maasai family in Tanzania. They fed us and were incredibly nice. That was a highlight. In Saint Petersburg, Russia, we had no place to sleep and were rescued by some guys who invited us to stay in their house. In Dagestan, a troubled part of Russia that is struggling for independence, I slept in Mosques, which were the only safe places. We mostly slept in tents, with a few guest houses and hotels to get a shower.
Question: Tell us about your bike.
Reza Pakravan: I knew I wanted a Koga with a Rohloff internal hub and belt drive. I did a lot of research and determined this would be the most hassle-free bike. With the Gates belt drive the most obvious benefit is you don't need to get your hands oily. Steven was riding a bike with a derailleur and chain and he had to change three chains.
The adventure vehicle: Koga bike with Rohloff internal hub and Gates Carbon belt drive.
Question: Tell us about Azafady.
Reza Pakravan: Azafady is a nonprofit that raises money for environmental, community and education projects in Madagascar. In 2009 I went to Madagascar to do voluntary work for them. I am a financial analyst, so before choosing Azafady I did lots of research and found they have one of the best ratings for spending money on causes and projects rather than administration. So far I have raised over $110,000 for them, enough for six new schools.
Question: Have you always loved bicycles?
Reza Pakravan: I was born in Iran, where I grew up skiing and playing basketball. In university I was a semi-pro basketball player. But at some point I got sick of team sports. A friend introduced me to mountain biking. I loved it and rode every day before work. Then I began traveling by bike and exploring Europe and the UK. I cycled the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, then in 2011 I set the record for fastest ride across the Sahara, 14 days.
The route.
Pakravan is currently living in San Francisco while writing a book about his adventure. He is also working with a director who is creating a documentary about the ride. Reza is simultaneously trying to reinvent his career to become a full-time adventurer and raise money for Azafady and humanitarian causes. We wish him luck.

It's amazing that as the 20th century escapes from our rear view mirror, some hippie liberals are still recycling their Sixties angst. For God's sakes, it's almost 2007. Can't someone graduate from college without a baby boomer commencement speaker pulling out a handkerchief over the sorry state of the world since the idealists shook their last tambourine on the Ed Sullivan Show?
The guilt-soaked commencement address was a common theme as 58 judges put on their reading glasses to select the Media Research Center's "Best of Notable Quotables," the annual compendium of very real press inanities. The "Quote of the Year" was awarded to New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. In a May 21 speech to graduates in New Paltz, New York, Junior poured out his apologies for the sorry state of the world passed on to the new graduates by negligent baby boomers.
You see, our youngsters aren't supposed to be graduating into an "America fighting a misbegotten war," where people still have to fight for "fundamental human rights," such as the right to immigrate illegally, to marry someone of the same sex, and to terminate inconvenient pregnancies. He also lamented giving them a world where "oil still drove policy and environmentalists had to fight relentlessly for every gain."
It was an obnoxious liberal sermon. This man is supposed to lead the nation's most distinguished newspaper, but all he delivered was waah, waah, waah. A respectable newspaper publisher, lamenting that illegals don't have legal rights? If we gave these illegal those rights, they'd no longer be illegals - and he'd probably complain about that, too.
Coming in close behind in the "Slam Uncle Sam" category was another New York Times orator, Supreme Court gashouse Linda Greenhouse. In a June speech at Harvard, Greenhouse agonized that the promise of Sixties America was squandered, and our government has created "law-free zones at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, Haditha, and other places around the world. And let's not forget the sustained assault on women's reproductive freedom and the hijacking of public policy by religious fundamentalism." This quote didn't fully capture the larger picture of liberal angst, so Greenhouse explained to students that she wept uncontrollably through the second half of a Simon and Garfunkel concert when she considered the decline of America.
But the ridiculous quotes are almost too numerous to mention. Here's some other winning doozies:
The headline in U.S. News & World Report on state ballot initiatives on the minimum wage: "Vote Democratic, Earn More."
MSNBC screamer Keith Olbermann feeling so angry that Fox's Chris Wallace supposedly put Bill Clinton through the wringer that he insulted him as "a monkey posing as a newscaster."
Dan Rather once again saying he believes in the phony Bush National Guard memo story "absolutely." (Here insert pained Al Gore sigh - or Dean scream.)
Bryant Gumbel trashing the Winter Olympics for being too white, so devoid of blacks that "the Winter Games look like a GOP convention."
ABC's Terry Moran getting so enraptured by his man-crush on Barack Obama that he actually reported from Iowa, "they're even naming babies after him!"
Katie Couric (at NBC) lecturing Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan that creating a Florida town based on Catholic values was "de facto segregation" that is "really infringing on civil liberties and freedom of speech and right to privacy and all sorts of basic tenets that this country was founded on."
Katie Couric (at NBC) telling Al Gore his movie showed he was "funny, vulnerable, disarming, self-effacing," and should have been electable in 2000. After that, she helpfully added that global warming would ruin New York: "Even Manhattan would be in deep water, right?"
Katie Couric (at CBS) spreading the conspiracy theory that lower gas prices might be "an election-year present from President Bush to fellow Republicans."
CNN's Jack Cafferty proclaiming that liberal Sen. Arlen Specter was "all that's standing between us and a full-blown [Bush] dictatorship in this country."
Of course, some reporters actually do like dictatorships, especially the Cuban kind. AP's Vanessa Arrington reported that under the thumb of Fidel Castro, Cubans still enjoy "a rich and accessible cultural life" and "a leisurely lifestyle," not to mention "their free education system, high literacy rates, and top-notch doctors."
Perhaps Ms. Arrington and Arthur Sulzberger, Jr can counsel college graduates to consider emigrating to Cuba, where even legal citizens have no rights.

Sheryl Crow knows all about the difficult kind.
The singer secured a three-year restraining order today against 45-year-old James Philip Sparks, who, according to her original court filing for a temporary order of protection, ranted about her on Facebook and threatened to shoot her.
Crow had stated in court documents that her manager informed of the perceived threat.

Sparks, according to Crow's filing, had written on Facebook and online message boards that the Grammy winner, working in cahoots with film producer Harvey Weinstein, had broken into his place to surreptitiously film him and then somehow cheated him out of money for a reality show he was supposed to be on.
Crow's manager then informed her that, in mid-July, Sparks went to the SAG-AFTRA headquarters in L.A. and told an employee that he was going to "just shoot" her.

"This statement was obviously extremely alarming to me," Crow declared, having also written that it was "clear to [her] that he was deeply disturbed because his posts were delusional, rambling, filled with profanity and laced with angry rants."
At today's hearing, a psychiatrist testifying on Crow's behalf called Sparks "dangerous."
He is now required to stay away from and not attempt to contact the singer, her family, her manager and other employees for the next three years.

Consumers leave trail of online information that advertisers target
When Joseph Wilson was in the market for a pre-fabricated shed, he knew where to look for a good deal.
While at work one afternoon, Wilson pulled up some sheds available on the Home Depot website on his iPad. The prices looked reasonable, but he still wanted to clear the purchase with his wife.
That night, at home, Wilson pulled up the same shed on Home Depot's website. This time, he used their PC desktop computer.
The price was $100 less.
"It didn't seem to fit (Home Depot's) business model," said Wilson, who lives in East Hopewell Township.
Curious - and a little miffed - Wilson mailed a letter to Home Depot's president looking for an answer to the price discrepancy.
Within a couple of days he had a call from the company saying they had not noticed a change and assumed it was a technology glitch. They would look into it, Wilson said he was told.
Something was up.
You are what you click
It's not a secret that companies target customers in their advertising. Chelsea Pazelchak is a senior at York College majoring in marketing.
In her consumer behavior class, she was taught the principles of targeting consumers, like finding ways to meet customers where they spend their time - the Internet, television, Facebook; learning the style of the person - do they rent or own their home or car. To what brands are they loyal and why.
"In consumer behavior it's a downfall to target just a demographic," Pazelchak said, meaning something they can't control like age or sex. "Instead, you want to focus on their lifestyle," or the choices they make.
In this digital age of mobile phones, tablets and computers, people spend more time and buy more products online, said Gerald Patnode, a professor of marketing and chair of the Graham School of Business at York College.
Advertisers recognize the new media and embrace it to connect with consumers, he said. Orbitz, the online travel company, publicized their data mining strategy this summer after various wire reports claimed Apple users were seeing higher prices than people searching on a PC.
Barney Harford, Orbitz CEO, wrote an op-ed column in USAToday explaining how the company uses consumer information.
It's all about collecting information about where people click, Harford said, not what type of computer is being used. The company collects your data and then tailors your next visit to the website to reflect your previous choices.
For example, what type of hotel room you like to reserve or how much you're willing to pay.
Your TV might be watching you
While a tailored Internet experience is now commonplace, addressable television ads are starting to show up, Patnode said.
Allstate Insurance is trying a new strategy to sell renter's coverage where you will only see the ad if you currently rent.
Two neighbors could be watching the same show at the same time and on the same commercial break see two different commercials.
It all got started in politics, Patnode said. Political parties would target voters by collecting socio-demographic data and tailor their message depending on what which television station it was aired.
Allstate aired the commercials on DirecTV and Dish Network. The information necessary to target consumers was purchased from data collection firms, Advertising Age magazine reported.
This type of targeting could bring up questions of privacy from consumers, Patnode said. "There's always the concern that a group of people will get upset from a lack of privacy," he said.
Overall, however, consumers respond well to ads that present products they want, Patnode said. So, companies will keep collecting the data and consumers will give up some privacy.
'No more secrets'
After a couple of weeks, a representative from Home Depot's service department called Wilson.
He was told the discrepancy in online shed prices was because of regional pricing.
"There are so many factors that go into regional pricing," said Jennifer King, a senior manager of external communications and social media at Home Depot.
Factors like supply, demand and local taxes can affect why identical items might have different prices at different stores, she said.
If a consumer does not choose a particular store location on the website, they will be shown a national price, King said.
Wilson determined the price difference he saw was caused by not choosing a store location on his iPad, which then gave him a national price. When he looked up the shed at home, the site displayed the nearest store's price.
The site was trying to present a Home Depot experience based on the data from two different computers that both happened to be owned by Wilson.
And that's supposed to happen, King said. Home Depot collects data based on where consumers click and the site could look different depending on your search history.
This marketing strategy isn't new, Patnode said. Advertisers have been collecting information on what consumers buy for decades.
"The change is the accessibility of information," he said. "There's no more secrets."

GROTON, Conn. -- The commanding officer of an attack submarine currently undergoing maintenance at a Maine shipyard has been relieved of duty.
Navy Cmdr. Luis Molina was dismissed Friday as commander of the USS Pasadena, which was formerly based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Navy Rear Adm. Rick Breckenridge, the commander of Submarine Group Two, says he lost confidence in Molina's ability to lead the submarine through its maintenance overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, in Kittery, Maine. The submarine has been at the shipyard since September of 2011.
A spokeswoman for the submarine group in Groton, Conn., Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, said she could not comment on why Molina had been removed.
Molina has been reassigned to administrative duties.
According to a Navy press release, Cmdr. Mark E. Cooper has assumed all duties as commanding officer. Cooper recently spent one year at the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C., earning a Master of Arts degree in National Security Strategy.

Technical analysts may be interested in how Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (GELYF) is trading in relation to some moving averages. Presently, the 200-day MA is resting at 1.68, and the 50-day is 2.43. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a specific period of time. Moving averages can be very useful for identifying peaks and troughs. They may also be used to help the trader calculate reliable support and resistance levels for the stock.
The 14-day ADX for Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (GELYF) is currently at 17.05. In general, and ADX value from 0-25 would represent an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would point to an extremely strong trend. Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 75.99, the 7-day stands at 83.85, and the 3-day is sitting at 90.56. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of stock price movements. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder, and it oscillates between 0 and 100. Generally, the RSI is considered to be oversold when it falls below 30 and overbought when it heads above 70. RSI can be used to detect general trends as well as finding divergences and failure swings.
At the time of writing, Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (GELYF) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 186.86. Developed by Donald Lambert, the CCI is a versatile tool that may be used to help spot an emerging trend or provide warning of extreme conditions. CCI generally measures the current price relative to the average price level over a specific time period. CCI is relatively high when prices are much higher than average, and relatively low when prices are much lower than the average. Investors may be watching other technical indicators such as the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. The Williams %R is a momentum indicator that helps measure oversold and overbought levels. This indicator compares the closing price of a stock in relation to the highs and lows over a certain time period. A common look back period is 14 days. Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd (GELYF)'s Williams %R presently stands at -12.07. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would indicate an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would indicate an oversold situation.
Even professional traders can sometimes guess wrong about market direction. Many traders may have to balance emotion with the fear of missing out on a strong market move. Investors may be tempted to jump on the bullish bandwagon when stocks are powering higher. Investors on the wrong side of the market swing may have to consider what may be in store over the next few months. It's only natural to pause and take a little breather once in a while. Investors may be chomping at the bit to buy up the dips if the market continues to advance. Fresh buying opportunities can surface at any moment, and the prepared trader may be poised to take full advantage. Keeping a close watch on earnings beats may help investors catch the wave early enough to secure some future profits.

Music legends Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland, and Barbara Streisand have all stared in versions of this film. And Beyonce could be next.
Hollywood superstar Clint Eastwood is in talks with Warner Bros. about a remake of classic film "A Star is Born" starring the "Single Ladies" hitmaker, sources told The Hollywood Reporter.
Warner Bros. is reportedly still looking for a male lead to star opposite Beyonce. Will Smith was originally eyed for that role, Warner Bros. officials said, but Deadline speculates that Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Eddie Murphy, and Robert Downey Jr. are also in the mix for consideration.
The flick follows the general storyline of a has-been celebrity who falls in love and helps an up-and coming star with her career, and this version would take place in the music world.
This wouldn't be the first time Beyonce has taken to the big screen. The R&B songstress received acclaim for her starring role in "Dreamgirls" (2006), where she also played an aspiring singer. The singer has also starred opposite Mike Meyers in "Austin Powers in Goldmember" as Foxxy Cleopatra.
Eastwood has made a name for himself as a director for dramatic Hollywood hits including "Changeling," "Million Dollar Baby," and "Grand Torino."

"In theory, it would be a fantastic opportunity to do/make it…"
It's bollocks.
A very one sided view from me but I believe that it is the right point of view. If you're thinking about theories behind things that you'd like to do in the future, you have WAY too much time on your hands. The reason being that if in 'theory' you did want to do it, someone, somewhere on the planet is already well on his/her way to doing it.
Why can't we just stick by our guns and aim for something and just do it? If it's a gut instinct that something may work, just run with it and see where it takes you. Granted it may be on the verge of being a bit gung-ho but so what, sometimes you just have to trust your instinct and throw theory to the wind. If things don't work out then you've just done a wonderful thing, you've learned a few lessons in messing things up. It's not all bad though, in learning how to mess things up, you also learn how to make things better.
So the next time you're thinking about theory and how to put something in to practice, stop yourself quickly and just get on with it. See what happens, if all turns out well, then that is fantastic. If it doesn't, don't blame me, just get on with working out how you'd do it differently next time and learn from your experience no matter what it was.
Bollocks to Theory, once youve got round to it, it's already being done.

I recently started learning java, and I am trying to make a program and I am running into some trouble. Basically what I want is for the user to input the number of people attending a movie, and then the user could input all of the ages of the people attending the movie, and then the program would print the total cost depending on the ages entered (child, senior, regular adult etc...).
Here is what I have so far:
import java.util.*; public class movietickets1 { public static void main(String[] args) { int numberpeople, answer; Scanner xx=new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Please enter the number of people attending the movie below:"); numberpeople=xx.nextInt(); int[] attendees = new int[numberpeople]; for (int i = 0; i < attendees.length; i++) { System.out.print("Please enter the age of person number "); System.out.print(i+1); System.out.print(" below:"); attendees[i]=xx.nextInt(); } } }
Basically what I was thinking of doing was creating 3 more methods, that would return a variable that counted the number of people that were 12 and under for children, the number of people attending 65 and over for senior, and everything else in between for regular adults. Now I am not sure where to begin for what I want to accomplish for these 3 methods, as I am not sure how to get a method to return a variable that counted the number of items in an array that were above or below a certain value.

I am trying to write some snare drum music and I can't seem to find a way to notate a roll on the snare drum. An example of what it should look like is:
I tried using !trem3! but that does not work. That is for doing a tremolo between 2 notes as far as I can tell. I am looking to put 2 or 3 slashes through one note stem or above a whole note. Any help would be appreciated :D


text: Has anyone had any experience with this? Considering how big the game is, it would be very time-consuming to record them all one by one. I've had experience with ripping MIDI from Sierra and Lucasarts games which generally has been very simple in comparison. All kind of Windows games are also often easier to rip the MIDI files from such as Captain Claw, Spider-Man and Venom: Separation Anxiety or Final Fantasy 7 to name a few. But when it comes to Judgement Rites, I'm kinda lost. Has anyone else attempted this before? 25th Anniversary would be meaningless since it (at least my copy) only has MT-32 MIDI and to my experience, such files cannot be extracted accurately from the game. They MUST be recorded within the game to get the instruments right since the files are not independent, unlike General Midi. At least this is the case with all of Sierra's games unfortunately.

I had no idea there was a "World Of Warcraft" movie in the works or that Sam Raimi was suppose to be directing it. But it turns out he isn't going to. The movie is still happening though, just with another director. Good story huh?
I don't have proof or anything but if I was to take a guess I would say that at some point Eric Roberts has been spanked by a lady. Don't ask me why, it's just a hunch. So I suggest that ladies on the set of "Self Storage" keep a close eye on their drinks because the tan one has just joined the cast. The film tells the tale of a group of friends trapped inside a storage facility when all hell breaks lose.
If you like cartoons and you like horror then your going to go ape shit over "The Living Corpse", which the folks over at Anchor Bay have just acquired the rights to. The flick is a cartoon tale (that's why I mentioned them before) about a superhero who also happens to be undead. Like superman, but he eats people. Although Superman may be doing now also. I haven't read a comic in close to 20 years so I don't know what's going on there.
Remember Justina Machado from "Six Feet Under"? The spicy latina that Rico cheated on and we all fealt sorry for? Well feel sorry for her again because she's landed a role along side Halle Berry in a new serial killer flick "The Hive". In the film Berry plays a 911 operator who must help a teenager being stalked by a killer. I say feel sorry for her because Halle Berry kind of makes crap movies now. So this is probably going to be a crap movie. She may have a perfectly lovely time though. I'm sorry I lead you to believe she was going to be miserable. She's hot.

Snapshots and (Almost!) All of the Burgers from the San Francisco Burger Brawl
What's better than a burger and a beer among friends? Lots of burgers and beers among friends, with a cutthroat competition to boot! So went the Eye Heart SF Burger Brawl, which went down in all of its beefy glory this past Saturday at Fort Mason.
The Brawl featured 10 contestants, including restaurants (The Corner Store, Burger Bar), food trucks (Brass Knuckle, Belly Burgers), and pop-ups (our very own Wes Rowe!). Each stand served burgers in a variety of sizes, from bare-bones sliders to eight-ounce behemoths dripping toppings. Some stands offered sides, should you want some bacon jalapeño mac 'n' cheese or a pickle plate with your 10 burgers.
What's New On Serious Eats
We saw a wide range of creativity, too—The Boardroom certainly had the most pure burger iteration, simply serving up beef on a bun with squeeze bottles of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on hand, while Burger Bar's short rib slider pushed the boundaries of what can really be considered a burger versus a very good cow-filled sandwich.
There were some common issues: most patties were overcooked, and many lacked a texturally interesting crust. Buns ranged from insignificant to bready and stale. But sliders from The Corner Store and Wes Rowe's Hot Wes burger were standouts for their composition, ingredients, and bold flavors.
While Wes's close ties to Serious Eats certainly did raise the red flag of nepotism for my judging purposes, his Hot Wes was the favorite of my esteemed burger tasters, as well. What's more, the judges agreed: the Hot Wes was the victor of the Burger Brawl, taking home a shiny trophy and, of course, a lifetime of pride.
Warning: the above slideshow could be considered NSFW. At least, not safe for work pre-lunchtime. Scope out the burger porn here!

"I am very honored to be a recipient this year, especially considering the caliber of the finalists whom I met in Washington, D.C., during the final," Shi says. "This award also speaks directly to the quality of education I received at RIT, where I have had direct and substantial interactions with the faculty members."
The Apker Award recognizes Shi's undergraduate research in theoretical quantum and optical physics, and cites his work on "Torsional Optomechanics: A Dialogue Between Spinning Photons and Twisting Oscillators." Shi explored the quantum dynamics of optomechanical systems with his RIT research adviser and mentor, professor Mishkat Bhattacharya, and his secondary mentor, professor Edwin Hach III.
"Hao's ability and performance are outstanding. In his research collaboration with me, he displayed formidable mathematical skills, substantial independent thinking, writing and speaking of high clarity, and a growing mastery of the literature," Bhattacharya says. "I essentially treated him as a senior graduate student."
Shi submitted five papers during his undergraduate career at RIT. He was the first author on papers published in the Physical Review A, Journal of Modern Optics, and the Journal of Physics B, a co-author on a paper published in the American Journal of Physics and a co-author on a paper submitted to the Journal of the Optical Society of America A. Hao is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in physics at Cornell University. The research performed by Shi and Bhattacharya was partially supported by a grant from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement. Shi is originally from Xiamen, China.
In 1978, Jean Dickey Apker established the LeRoy Apker Award in the memory of her husband and colleague. Apker was an experimental physicist at General Electric Research Laboratory known for his research on the photoelectric effect in semiconductors and the photoelectric properties of potassium iodide.

|We consider two fundamental building blocks for many applications in wireless sensor networks - location support and efficient medium access for one-hop data collection.; In the first part of the thesis we identify two important problems of location support - accurate localization and fast & fair localization - and propose novel solutions. We address the problem of accurate localization by proposing two novel, light-weight RF localization techniques called Ecolocation and Sequence-Based Localization. We define constructs called location constraints and location sequences based on distance ranks of reference nodes from the location of the unknown node and use them for localization. We compare and contrast the two localization techniques and show their robustness to RF channel non-idealities through examples. Through extensive systematic simulations and a representative set of real mote experiments, we show that our light-weight RF localization techniques provide comparable or better accuracy than other state-of-the-art radio signal strength-based localization techniques over a range of wireless channel and node deployment conditions.; In addition to being accurate, the location support service should also be fast and fair. The response times of the reference nodes to localization requests from the unknown node should be minimized and multiple unknown nodes, at different locations, should not have widely varying response times. We identify this as a fast/fair localization problem and formulate it as a min-max optimization problem, show that it is related to the well-known, NP-hard, maximum broadcast frame length problem, and investigate a heuristic scheduling based solution. We study the attributes that determine the response times of the reference nodes, called the localization delay, and derive closed-form expressions for it. We then investigate the heuristic solution's performance in terms of localization delay, fairness and average and minimum localizable speeds.; In the second part of the thesis, we address the problem of medium access for one-hop data collection, which occurs frequently in many wireless sensor network applications. We consider a wide spectrum of one-hop data collection applications with continuous data collection at one end and one-shot data collection at the other. While in the continuous data collection problem the contending wireless nodes always have a packet to transmit, in the one-shot data collection problem each contending node has a single packet to transmit. Medium access mechanisms for continuous data collection have been studied extensively in the past by numerous researchers, but such mechanisms for one-shot data collection have received much less attention. In this thesis we address the medium access problem for this spectrum of application scenarios through three different pieces of work.; We model and analyze the performance of slotted Aloha medium access techniques for the one-shot data collection problem. Owing to the transient nature of the network in this problem we use non-ergodic Markov chain analysis and derive flow equations that accurately capture the temporal dynamics of the network. Using these equations we evaluate the medium access techniques' performance in terms of delay and energy consumption.; We then present a novel location-aware medium access protocol for the one-shot data collection problem that uses the location information of contending nodes to reduce collisions and improve the overall performance. We evaluate the protocol in terms of delay and energy consumption and compare it with location-unaware medium access protocols using simulations. Results show that our protocol can take advantage of the location distribution of nodes to provide significantly lower delay and energy consumption compared to location-unaware protocols.; Finally, we model, analyze, and evaluate the performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol for both ends of the one-hop data collection application spectrum. We find that the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol performs poorly for one-hop data collection in dense sensor networks, showing a steep deterioration in both throughput and energy consumption with increasing number of transmitters. We propose a channel feedback-based enhancement to the protocol that is significantly more scalable, showing a relatively flat, slow-changing total system throughput and energy consumption as the network size increases. A key feature of the enhancement is that the back-off windows are updated after successful transmissions instead of collisions. The window updates are based on an optimality criterion we derive from mathematical modeling of p-persistent CSMA.

By Eliot Van Buskirk, Evolver.fm
A small robot holding a smartphone, called Shimi, won the hearts and minds of the technology press in June, in part on the strength of the below video. Watch it. You will see a robot that dances, learns how to dance from you, and points its ears (which are actually speakers) at you as you move about the room.
Surely, something like this must cost a fortune. Nope. For $149 (a $50 discount on what it will cost normal people), you can pre-order a Shimi on Kickstarter, helping this robot reach its Kickstarter goal of $100,000. As of right now, it only has $43,142, with just eight days to go. If you pre-order – and enough other people do too – you can expect to have your own personal Shimi in February.
There are at least six reasons you might want to pre-order Shimi the music robot in the next eight days – in part, so that the project happens, because Kickstarter projects typically don't take off unless they hit their funding target. (Note: The author pre-ordered a Shimi while writing this article.)
- The speakers are apparently pretty good. ——————————————-
I know one of the people behind this project, Gil Weinberg. He is the head of Georgia Tech's Center for Music Technology. I met him while judging music robots (see my writeup-with-photos on Wired), and he knows what he's talking about. Weinberg swears to me that Shimi will sound very good indeed. Its body is a subwoofer, and the ears that follow you around are tweeters, so basically, this is a 2.1 speaker system with the added benefit that it is also an impressive-looking music robot that will impress your house or office guests.
"We're working with a Chinese manufacturer," Weinberg told Evolver.fm via phone. "The subwoofer is six watts, and the two tweeters in the ears are three watts each. I don't know if you watched my TechCrunch Disrupt presentation, but [Google Ventures partner and founder of Digg and Revision3] Kevin Rose asked me how it's different from other toys that dance to music, and I made the point, and I think it's an important point, that this really is a very good speaker dock. It's not just a toy, or a robot – it's a speaker dock with personality ... Most importantly, it's a good speaker dock. I know it's small, but it's not less of a speaker dock than a robot."
People regularly pay in the ballpark of $149 for 2.1 speaker systems, and those aren't even robots. Case closed, it would seem – and we're not even done here.
- It's not a gimmick. It's a freaking robot. ———————————————
This is not a dancing Coke can. It's a music robot, which will get smarter over time (see below). The only reason you can afford it is that other companies already built the really expensive parts, and you probably own them, in the form of an iPhone or iPod Touch, for now, and soon Android too.
"When a robot's brain is in your pocket, or in the cloud, we can make them much more affordable," said Weinberg. "It can grow from music into other directions."
- Robots in the home don't need to suck. —————————————–
For most people, having a robot in the home means owning a big puck that knows how to clean floors. I, for one, welcome our robotic underlords of the floor, but I'd also like to see robots do more interesting things. We live in the future. Isn't it time for an intelligent, dancing robot that plays music? What could be so harmful about that? Sure, they'll infiltrate, but…
"The idea is having robots that are specifically very [good] at a particular [thing] like music – and we have some other ideas – as a way to enter robots into the house, instead of creating a C-3PO that does everything but save princesses," quipped Weinberg.
- It's "My Buddy" for music fans, but not lame. ———————————————————————————————-
It will play for you. It will dance with you. It will listen to you. It will understand you.
"The idea of having a musical body that recommends music to you and tells you what's hot, and dances with you, and learns from you what you like based on your taste – of course there are applications that try to do this, but when you have an embodied guy who gestures, it's a completely different experience," said Weinberg. "It can look at how you dance, because it has an iPhone ... how you move to the beat, and understand using the AI if you like it or not. It's a more natural way of interacting with it than the Pandora thumbs up/thumbs down kind of idea. You can teach it. It does face detection, and it's starting to do some limb detection. You can play games with it, and it responds."
- It's friends with the cloud and APIs. —————————————-
Shimi will be connected to the internet through your iPhone (and later Android), which means it will be allow you to play music-guessing games with friends, or even to collaborate on a new dance style, by teaching various moves to Shimis that are connected remotely. This cloud connectivity also means that Tovbot will be able to improve the app –and therefor Shimi – without you having to deal with any tedious firmware upgrades.
"It will become smarter and better, and we don't have to do anything for it, because your phone will get smarter and better," said Weinberg. "For example, we currently use natural language processing so you can say 'Hey Shimi, play OutKast,' and it will understand," said Weinberg. "But maybe if you speak in a different accent, like me, or there are some words that are not understandable, maybe it's not as good as it can be. But we're using Google Voice API, and Google Voice API will improve. The second [that happens] suddenly Shimi will understand you better."
- Lots of important people (in addition to us of course) say they love it. —————————————————————————
Shimi was a finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt, and according to the Kickstarter page, these publications said the following things about him, her, or it (Tovbot calls it a "him") after a prototype debuted at the Google I/O conference:
Gizmodo: "I gotta have one"
TechCrunch: "amaze audiences"

24: Godel, Escher, Kurt Halsey
|Godel, Escher, Kurt Halsey
Title text: I love the idea here, though of course it's not a great-quality drawing or scan.
| This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: Lack of information
If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks.
The name of the comic is a take on the book Gödel, Escher, Bach. The book is about "strange loops", self-reference, and recurring patterns, partially shown through the works of the three people in its title.
In the first part of the comic, two people discuss the difficulty of comparing past and present generations, since the person making the comparison invariably belongs to one of the two groups.
Kurt Gödel was a 20th century mathematician most famous for mathematically proving that in our commonly used axiomatic systems, there are true propositions that cannot be proved from the axioms.
M. C. Escher was a 20th century artist most famous for mathematically-inspired engravings of tessellated animals, impossible scenes, distorted images that contained themselves, and so on.
Johann Sebastian Bach is a famous German composer and musician from the Baroque Period.
Kurt Halsey is a comic artist from Oregon.
It looks unclear whether the hatted guy is Black Hat. The character design wasn't yet standardized. The sarcastic comment suggests that it is.
- Drawn during an unending NASA lecture.
- [Two people are talking, one in a hat.]
- Cueball: it's just so hard to compare kids now with kids in the past. you can't help but to belong to one group or the other.
- Cueball: and of course every generation seems awful to the one before it. look at quotes from throughout history.
- Hatted: yeah, and it sure would be nice to have some perspective on some of this stuff. I just don't know what to make of it.
- [Circles are appearing--maybe snow?]
- Cueball: i guess you do what you can to help the people around you and hope it turns out okay.
- Cueball: in the end, what else can you do?
- Hatted: lead a crusade?
- [We can no longer see the people, just the circles.]
- it's presentism, man. the idea that historical context is irrelevant, that we understand it
- all that we need take no warnings from the follies of the past. that we're facing something new.
- socrates couldn't imagine the internet. but people don't change.
- [We can start to see the corner of a darker circle in the lower right.]
- (The borders between the three panels on this line are cracking.)
- have you seen those collections of historical pornography? talk about historical context.
- did you know the first porn photo was bestial in.
- [inside a circle:] nature?
- at least that stuff was out of the mainstream
- [each word in one circle:]

- [The circles are highly variable in size now, and pressed up against a larger one on the right side.]
- [There is mass of circles of different sizes, with some dark fissures in between, against the side of a large circle which we can see part of in the right half of the panel. They look like cells. There's a tiny square in the center of the giant cell.]
- [We see only the tiny square, centered. It has a few marks inside it.]
- [Closer, the square is divided into rectangles of different sizes, each of which has text in it.]
- [Much closer, we can see fragments of the text. Some are sideways, some are cut off, some are too small to read.]

I have been told during editing comic 287 that the trivia should be below the transcript. But can see here that this is not always the case. As I have stated in the talk on that comic it would make so much more sense to have the interesting trivia above the (in most cases) uninteresting transcript. I only look into the last if I cannot easily read the text. But the trivia info is always interesting to me. And often the transcript is long enough that I would not notice a trivia entry below. I may now know better, but new users may overlook interesting bits of info. If there is a "rule" I would suggest it was changed to the format that this comic had when I wrote this entry. Trivia before transcript. (Written here only because it is todays Incomplete Explanation of the Day). Kynde (talk) 14:07, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- The trivia section doesn't belong to any explanation. Like other wikis do, it's at the bottom of the page. If there is important content belonging to the explain section it has to be moved. Trivia means triviality and contains only some sidesteps to some similar issues or even more. --Dgbrt (talk) 21:54, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- Agree but the trivia header makes that clear. The transcript is not a normal part of wikis so could have been at the bottom. That is just my opinion. I will not move any trivia sections! And I can see you have corrected the error here so the trivia is now at the bottom. Kynde (talk) 10:59, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
This comic is on the "incomplete explanation of the day" like twice a week these days. Is everyone just like me and literally helpless? Because we didn't have this problem when the two Online Communities were undergoing rewrites 126.96.36.199 18:51, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- I think it's sill to require a 'complete' explanation of a somewhat abstract comic. Any 'explanation' is only someone's interpretation. ~~Bob 14:34, 13 May 2014
- There are so many elements of this to be explained. I hope there is some hope of recovering some lost details of the NSA lecture. What a masterpiece of using the medium for abstract expression. So, I'm so thankful for a loose interpretation for 'incomplete explanation of the day' that brought the strip back to my attention. Eternal golden booger (talk) 17:30, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
I had a sudden and strong urge to s/Godel/Gödel/g when I loaded this page. Maybe I'll leave editing it to someone less tired than I am. lcarsos_a (talk) 05:31, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

The last six blocks remind me of an illustration in the actual book by Hofstadter, it is a graphic -very in the xkcd way- where axioms, theorems and unreachable truths in a system are represented. It can be seen here. 188.8.131.52 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Removed this comment from the 'Interpretations' section - preserving it here:
While I feel this article can't be improved with rational arguments, I believe a standalone section with different hypothesis is a great way to tackle the problem. If the goal here is not to go into subjective interpretations of the comic, then I think it's better tagged as closed, because you obviously can't go any further by ignoring the symbols. (You may want to edit meta-comments out, but I wanted to make my point first). Please add to or adapt my interpretation to whatever suits you or the community here. It would be very nice if we could have a subjective section for people to explain what they interpreted out of the strips. 14:47, 6 May 2014 220.127.116.11

Katherine Heigl Criticizes Remark, Would "Throw Down" For T.R. KnightSteve Marsi at .
Much as we would love to stop writing about this incident, the parties involved (and, to some extent, the mainstream media) make it impossible to ignore.
That's right, as many fans already know, there's trouble brewing among the cast of Grey's Anatomy. Again. And this time, another cast member - Katherine Heigl - is in the fray, albeit voluntarily.
At the Golden Globe Awards Monday, Heigl slammed co-star Isaiah Washington for using a slur regarding fellow cast member T.R. Knight, who he was denying using said slur against in the first place.
At issue was a statement Isaiah Washington made in the Golden Globes press room when he was asked about the alleged on-set incident between himself and Knight last fall, which preceded Knight's public coming out.
"No, I did not call T.R. a faggot," he said, according to Access Hollywood. "Never happened, never happened."
Heigl, who is close friends with T.R. Knight, criticized Washington's statement.
"I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period," she said. "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said, I'm not okay with it."
Asked if Knight's feelings were hurt by the comment, she said: "I don't see how you could not be under those circumstances."
Heigl, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Grey's Anatomy was named Best TV Drama), added that she didn't know exactly what to make of the comment, but hoped the cast would work through the incident like a family.
"I have no idea what it was, I just find it hurtful... I just feel like this is something that should be very much in house we need to deal with and it's among us, the cast and crew and among Shonda Rhimes (the show's creator) and the producers," she said.
Still, she was adamant that she'd stand up for Knight anytime.
"I don't think [Washington] meant it the way it came off, but T.R. is my best friend. I will throw down for that kid. I will beat you up. I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings," she said.
For his part, Washington continued to address questions about the alleged on-set incident, later telling Access Hollywood:
"There is no way I could do anything so vile, and so horrible, not only to a castmate, but to a fellow human being. It did not happen. The reports were all wrong... I'm very disappointed that the New York Post actually wrote legitimately about something that was put in a tabloid about some angry person to get some validity to this, and then it just rippled."
He also said that he has completely made up with fellow co-star Patrick Dempsey after a scuffle prompted the alleged remark about Knight.
"I kiss Patrick Dempsey," said Washington. "We sing 'Ebony and Ivory' every day since the so-called incident and it hasn't come up."

What Is Radiation?
Return to Calculator
Radiation is the process by which energy waves or particles pass through objects, the atmosphere, or people. Radiation comes from both man-made sources and natural sources.
Man-made sources of radiation include:
Medical Radiation: The greatest source of man-made radiation is from medical procedures, such as X-rays, CT scans, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy.
Consumer Products: Low levels of radiation exist in many consumer products like televisions, cell phones, airport X-ray systems, road construction materials, fluorescent lamp starters, camping lantern mantles and more.
Nuclear Fuel: Although minimal, people are exposed to radiation from nuclear fuel from the mining process through nuclear power plant energy production. Individuals are sometimes exposed from other activities involving radioactive materials.
Natural radiation is present in the environment every day. Sources include:
Earth: Sources from the earth like building materials and the gasses like radon from the earth's crust.
Space: Cosmic rays from space.
Our Body: Internal radiation from your own body's absorption of radiation.
Imaging Tests
Return to Calculator
An Angiography is a medical imaging technique, sometimes known as arteriography. It is used to see blood vessels and organs of the body. It is most commonly used to view the heart chambers, veins and arteries. The technique is done by injecting a dye, known as contrast, directly into an artery and taking an X-ray of the part of the body in question.
A CT (or CAT scan) takes multiple pictures of your body using radiation that are combined to make a cross-sectional 3D image. Dye (contrast) may be used to enhance the image.
An Echo stress test test is an exam of the heart without radiation that utilizes exercise and an ultrasound (sonograph) to evaluate the functioning of the heart.
A Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that looks at real-time moving images of the body. The patient will either ingest a contrast agent or lay on a fluorescent screen while an X-Ray source records the real-time images of the body's anatomy and function.
An MR (magnetic resonance) exam uses magnetic and radio waves to take pictures of thin slices of your body from different angles without radiation. MRs include MRIs and MRAs. Your test may include dye (contrast) to take the image.
A Nuclear exam uses radioactive materials to image certain body areas and functions. This includes nuclear stress tests and nuclear bone scans. Nuclear exams generally have the highest level of radiation exposure of all tests.
A PET (positron emission tomography) scan uses a radioactive material to take pictures to evaluate many types of cancers, heart disease and other abnormalities of the body.
An Ultrasound (sonography) uses high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body without radiation.
An X-ray works like a camera, sending a small amount of radiation through the body to record a black and white image on a special film.
Return to Calculator
Ionizing radiation is a form of energy that is used in imaging centers, hospitals and clinics to perform certain medical diagnostic imaging procedures, like CT scans. However, not all imaging procedures require radiation.
In some instances, you may have alternative imaging tests that may provide the same results with no radiation.
Most doctors are open to a dialogue about radiation exposure prior to ordering a test and will discuss any appropriate clinical alternatives including alternative imaging procedures without radiation exposure:
Magnetic resonance (MRI and MRA) imaging tests use a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body. MRI and MRA tests can be used to replace CT and PET testing in certain clinical situations.
Ultrasound testing (sonography) is an imaging method that uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of the structures within your body. Ultrasounds can be used to replace CTs in certain clinical situations.
An Echo stress test is a process to image the heart that uses exercise and an ultrasound (sonogram) to evaluate the functioning of the heart. Echo stress can be used to replace a nuclear stress test in certain clinical situations.
You are encouraged to discuss alternatives with your doctor before any imaging test used primarily as a non-clinically urgent diagnostic exam.
Questions To Ask
Return to Calculator
Balancing the risks and benefits of a medical imaging test involves careful consideration of many factors. If a medical imaging test is your best option, educate yourself about the procedure and medical conditions related to it, and then discuss this with your doctor.
Five Key Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- What will be the outcome of the test results? It is important to understand what the next clinical steps are as you consider a diagnostic test ... will the outcome be an elective surgery ... physical therapy ... medically necessary surgery?
- Are you a candidate for an imaging test that does not involve radiation, such as an MRI or ultrasound? Some conditions can be diagnosed effectively (and in some cases more effectively) with an MRI or ultrasound.
- Should I do something else before the test? There are accepted clinical practices that can support earlier diagnosis and treatment of certain conditions. Often times these tests and treatments require no imaging testing and therefore no risk to the patient. It is important to discuss all options with your doctor.
- How do I select a facility that has a comprehensive patient radiation safety plan? You always have the option to select the facility that best meets your needs. Facilities have different accreditations and safety protocols that you can request prior to an exam.
- How much does the procedure cost? X-rays, ultrasounds and alternative treatments are usually less expensive than MRs or CT scans, and may be able to provide your doctor with the information they need.

I miss you too
I want to clear out some of the cobwebs on Cusp of Normal to admit that I have been missing blogging and am hoping to get back into the swing of things. But I might need to find a new space... this blog no longer feels like my own. I no longer consider it to be the sanctuary that it was for so many years. I'm sad to think about leaving behind the posts that I've accumulated since I started this blog in 2007. (It's hard to believe it's been four years!) But a new blog might be the breath of fresh air that I need to get back into the hobby that I so adored.
I'm currently brainstorming new names/concepts for a new blog. I should just pick something and get on with it--but I kind of love coming up with names for things (especially nonexistent children and rock bands) and want a name that truly feels like me.
In the meantime, know that I miss you. I hope some of you will follow me to the new space. But I won't be posting the new address here--so you will have to do some sleuthing or direct message me on Twitter once I announce that it is up and running. Oh, and I'll probably eventually need a new Twitter handle too. Blarg.
This new blog will be my own personal fight club--or something. And you know what they say about talking about fight club...

Once upon a time 'Miss Goody Two Shoes' realised that she had never spoilt her shoes and her shoes were too flat and boring! She had been a model kid, a model student, a model daughter, then a model employee, she even tried being model partner but didn't do too well. When she didn't turn out so 'model' after all she began asking a few questions, what was she doing here, where was she headed, what did she want out of life and was that all there was to life????? Eat, sleep, work, repeat???
One fine day, it seemed her questions were finally going to get answered when she met a very kind caring and sweet man who had white hair and a white beard! He spoke of the magic of possibilities, he spoke of being and creating things beyond what anyone thought was possible, he spoke of generosity and kindness in a way no one ever had before yet he didn't give her any answers but gave her even more questions to ask !
What ?? Questions to the questions? ""What rubbish"", she said! ""I'm sure the sweet old white beard man is loosing his plot, must be age catching up"" she sighed! How can questions empower us?? How can questions lead to possibilities?? How can asking questions actually be the way to creating more money, more joy and abundance in life? Yet it seemed to make sense in a weird way she couldn't explain..
WAIT WHAT??? COULDN'T EXPLAIN??? There is nothing she hadn't been able to not explain anything ever, there was always a justifiable explanation, reason, logic for everything! Up untill now atleast, why did she go to 'Taste of Access Consciousness' maybe she got the crazy virus too? Soon enough nothing made sense and everything got easier, life got happier, having fun didn't just mean meet friends for food and alcohol, the business she wanted to start forever - became a reality, travelling all over the world all the time became completely natural and she keeps adding more to her life everyday!
Well its then she realised, that asking a question empowers, while concluding about an answer disempowers. Now when she asks ""How does it get better than this and what else is possible?""
Guess what its gets better and more and more gets possible!!!!!
Wanna have more fun than you ever imagined possible? You are on the just the page! :D

Acces Bars zijn de basis en het fundament van Access Consciousness. Het kan het begin zijn van een groot avontuur en het kan iets zijn dat je kunt toevoegen aan je leven, dat je zal helpen bij het creëren van meer gemak met alles in je leven. De Bars zijn 32 energiebanen die rondom en door je hoofd lopen, en die verbonden zijn met verschillende aspecten van je leven. Raak één Bar aan en je begint de energie die opgesloten zit in dat gebied of aspect van je leven op te ruimen, gewoon door het aan te raken.
Deze class haalt het fundament weg van de beperking waarvan je dacht dat je daarvanuit moest leven, alsof je geen andere keuze hebt! Het wordt over de hele wereld gefaciliteerd door gecertificeerde Access Consciousness facilitators en het is een vierdaagse, intensieve ontdekkingstocht van wat er allemaal nog meer mogelijk is. De class creëert gewaarzijn van het fundament van gewaarzijn dat je tot nu toe nog niet hebt toegepast in je leven!
