The Expedition For the Future
Google Tech Talk January 4, 2012 Presented by Jason Rodi ABSTRACT blog.thenomads.com "To reiterate the project, I have chartered a great ship, the HANSE EXPLORER, to traverse the sub-antarctic seas from Cape to Cape (Cape Horn, South America, to Cape of Good Hope, South Africa). Our journey will bring us to Bouvet Island, the furthest uninhabited island in the world. Weather permitting, we will attempt a climb to it's summit, an extinct volcano. I wish to bring three poles of human awareness on the trip, three people representing knowledge, philosophy, and creativity in the goal of returning with a vision of the future. From February 8th to March 12th 2012, The EXPEDITION for the FUTURE will travel from the end to the beginning of civilization. It would be an honour if Google joined us in creating this vision of the future. My goal is to produce a television documentary about the journey, an interactive book authored by the three poles, and an educational experience for museums and planetariums. With Google's involvement we can maximize this great content opportunity even more." From: GoogleTechTalks Views: 697 8 ratings Time: 19:13 More in Science & Technology

Episode 134: Shhh?It Happens At Base Camp
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 11:55:11 01/15/12
Can Anyone Say ?Sherpa Shortcut?? This fine morning at BC just keeps getting better. We?ve been able to see climbers going up the Icefall for hours. It really puts the landscape in perspective when you see a climber or group of climbers navigating the obviously dangerous puzzle that is the Khumbu Icefall. You can look at it and tell the Icefall is big. Snag a view of some climbers who appear as miniscule black specs amid the jumble of ice slabs and you get hit with it?s true immensity. It goes from looking big to looking BIG. Really, really BIG. Hugely BIG. Truly BIG. Did I mention it looks big? I also spent some time today filming something that is a big deal around here-where to go when nature calls. Yesterday (wow, was that really only yesterday?) I spoke with Apa Sherpa about the human waste situation and regulations at BC. I know from personal experience that the poop situation on the North Side is becoming a real issue. Of course, over in Tibet BC covers several square miles. Here in Nepal, BC is only a tiny, tiny fraction of that much space. It resembles the North Side?s ABC with tents stacked nearly on top of another. Ben Clark referred to ABC on the other side of the mountain as ?a miniature San Francisco.? Ditto for the BC on this side of the mountain. These days, here on the Nepal side, all human waste is collected in large plastic bags and taken out of BC at least at the end of the climbing season if not several times throughout the climbing season. That is a very big deal, isn?t it? After I finished my business filming everyone else?s ?business? I heard some talking down by the dome tent. Jeff was going to try and make it to the top of Kala Patthar today! He was leaving BC before the rest of us to try and make that goal a reality. Amazing. Now, we are much higher in altitude than Gorak Shep, the traditional starting point when climbing Kala Patthar. I do distinctly remember Jeff wondering aloud at breakfast if there was a way to go directly to the summit of Kala Patthar from BC instead of heading all of the way back down to Gorak Shep first. Surely there must be a way to do that. People have climbed every square inch of this valley over more than the past half century. Apparently there is a way to do it. A so-called ?short cut?. Of course out here everything is relative. Our group joke is that the Sherpa staff has a very different feel for time and distance. Ask any of these amazing guys how much farther will we be hiking to X destination and you?ll invariably be told, ?Just 10 minutes. RIght around the corner.? Translated, that means, ?Pal, you?ve got a ways to go. Probably about 3 hours.? The Sherpa people are feats of human engineering and stamina and positive attitude with an almost nonexistent complaint factor. Every one of them. I will always be in utter awe of what they can?happily?accomplish. If Jeff asks The Staff about a shortcut, he better be careful. He might just get what he asks for. A ?Sherpa shortcut?.

Its 11th annual event kicked off in China's Hainan Province. Let's take a look. In Hainan Province, China, newly designed toilets were showcased at the 11th World Toilet Summit, co-hosted by the World Toilet Organization. Designers from around the world submitted their unique and environment-friendly toilets. The toilet design competition was divided into the three categories of urban, low-cost and tourist area toilets. [Chen Xiaojing, Expert Toilet Designer]: "This competition has demonstrated the application of energy conservation and environmental protection technologies in the design of toilets. It is of great help in increasing the quality of toilets. Many designs actively apply solar energy and water collection technology. In addition, given the conditions in tropic area, the designs of ventilation and lighting are also very creative and green, which can give people a favorable experience when they go to the toilets." Among the variety of toilets, one transparent toilet was highlighted during the event. Although transparent is not always the best aesthetic choice for a toilet, it could save up to 40% more water when flushed.

Earlier in the day, Manmohan Singh arrived in Addu City for the 2-day summit which starts Thursday. The Maldives are hosting the 17th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Summit for the third time%mdash previous meetings were in 1990 and 1997. The summit covers the direct implication of connectivity between the SAARC member states. It also looks at the conceptual connotations of connecting peoples of the SAARC region in all facets, including social, economic, cultural, and developmental aspects. This harmonizes with the observance of the current decade as the 'SAARC Decade of Intra-Regional Connectivity'. SAARC was founded in 1985 in Dhaka with 7 members, as an expression of the region's collective decision to evolve a regional cooperative framework. With Afghanistan joining the forum in 2007, there are now 8 member countries in SAARC namely Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It also has 9 observers, namely China, EU, Iran, Republic of Korea, Australia, Japan, Mauritius, Myanmar and USA. From: NTDTV Views: 0 1 ratings Time: 01:38 More in News & Politics
