BICI SMART BIKE OFFERS ELECTRONICALLY-ENHANCED CYCLING If a new crowdfunding campaign is successful, yet another "smart bike" will soon be available to consumers. Called the BiCi, it was designed by a team from Shanghaibased AOAO Studio after a four-month period of focusing on "what the perfect bike should be." The end result certainly looks unique, if nothing else.

The distinctive appearance of the BiCi (short for Basic Conception ... sort of) comes courtesy of its carbon fiber frame and smallish-but-peppy 22inch wheels.

What makes it smart, however, are its onboard electronics. These include sensors that

track parameters such as current speed, cadence, altitude, location, calories consumed and heart rate (it isn't clear how that last one is measured). All the data is displayed and recorded on the rider's paired IOS or Android smartphone, which sits on a handlebar mount.

Additionally, users can map a route to their destination on the BiCi app before setting out, then receive left- and right-turn cues through buzzes in the handlebars as they ride. Those haptic alerts are backed up by running lights at either end of the bars, one or the other of which blinks when a turn is required.

On the topic of lights, the bike also has headand tail lights, which automatically come on and turn off via an ambient light sensor.

When the BiCi is left unattended, its sensors will detect if it's being moved when its owner phone isn't nearby.

Should that happen, it will send an alert to them, plus its GPS module will allow them to track its location.

Power is provided by an integrated battery, which is in turn charged while riding via a front hub dynamo.

He, along with other computer engineers, foresees a future in which computers will be controlled by the human mind. Recently, an Intel researcher named Dean Pomerleau alluded to these possibilities, stating, “Eventually people may be willing to be more committed… to brain implants. Imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts”.

rom a desktop to a laptop to a handheld phone, computing has transformed beyond recognition in the decades since it first emerged. So what will it look like in 2021?

TRAVEL & TOURISM

LARRY FOGG TRIP TO NORWAY

A

fter researching a possible trip to Norway to see the Northern lights, I was able to arrange an individual, unescorted tour through Fjord Travel. The trip would originate in Oslo with a train trip across the mountains to Trondheim. We would board a Hurtigruten ferry ship and sail north along the coast of Norway and around the North Cape to Kirkenes. Excursions would include a dog-sledding trip at Bodo, an excursion to the North Cape, and a snowmobile safari at Kirkenes. In addition, we would spend one additional night at the Kirkenes Snow Hotel before flying back to Oslo.

Jan and I arrived at Oslo, Norway, on Thursday, 20 February, at about 10:00 AM. After clearing immigration, I obtained some Norway Krone at 47

an ATM machine before we exited the terminal and located the SAS airport bus. The SAS airport bus took us to within one block of the Thon Hotel Bristol in the Oslo city center. We had booked two additional nights at the hotel prior to starting our Fjord Travel tour in order to be able to spend a couple of days in Oslo.

country in the world according to the “Big Mac Index.� Most convenience type stores in Norway have ATM machines.

Norway has a senior discount program and the discount is granted not only to the qualifying senior person but also to the people who are accompanying him/her.

Since I qualified for the senior discount, we saved a considerable amount of We spent most of money when we traveled by Thursday afternoon b u s a n d v i s i t e d l o c a l resting at the hotel and sightseeing attractions. researching sights that On Friday morning, after a we wanted to visit in magnificent buffet breakfast Oslo. We had a wonderful dinner at the Bristol Grill in the hotel where we got our first introduction to just how expensive most things are in Norway. Jan looked on the Internet and Norway is currently the most expensive 48

at the hotel, we obtained information at the hotel front desk on riding the bus to the National Theater stop and taking the No. 30 bus to the nautical museums. We walked to the bus stop and took the bus to the stop for the Kon-Tiki Museum, the Fram Museum and the Maritime Museum.

We first visited the Fram Museum which houses the FRAM, the most famous ship in polar history. It is known for the expeditions to the North and South Poles and can be toured by visitors to the museum. In an adjacent building, connected by an underground tunnel, the museum also houses GJOA, the first ship to navigate the Northwest Passage. The museum exhibits document polar exploration expeditions and it has spectacular models of FRAM icebound aircraft and airships, a theater, and a 49

polar activity center.

Our next stop was at the Norwegian Maritime Museum. It emphasizes ship building, maritime history, art, and archaeology. We went from here to the Kon-Tiki Museum where the original KON-TIKI balsa wood raft is on display.

Thor Heyerdahl gained worldwide fame when he crossed the Pacific from Peru to French Polynesia on KON-TIKI in 1947. The film about the expedition, which won an Oscar in 1951, is screened every day at noon. Heyerdahl also had spectacular expeditions on the reed boats Raand Tigris. The vessel Ra II is also on display at the museum.

Ra II was a reed boat that sailed across the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco to 50

Barbados in 1970. In addition, the museum has a very nice exhibit about Easter Island.

We re-boarded bus No. 30 and went to the Viking Ship Museum.

This museum houses three Viking ships: the Gokstad, the Oseberg, and the Tune. These ships were discovered in three burial mounds along the Oslo fjord.

They had been buried more than 1,000 years ago to serve as vessels for their royal owners' final journey to the realm of the dead. The exhibition also shows skeletons from the ships, the funeral carriage, sledges, and other artifacts from the graves.

closed to the public but the palace grounds were very nice. We continued walking to the Cultural History Museum. This museum opened in 1904 and documents 9,000 years of Norwegian history with displays of Bronze Age burial sites and Viking weapons, On Saturday morning, j e w e l r y , a n d we walked to the Royal h a n d i c r a f t s . T h e Palace. The palace was museum also houses

medieval church art, gold artifacts, and a coin cabinet displaying Norway's coin history. Other exhibitions included hunting and fishing in the Arctic, ancient Egypt, Samuari swords, and American Indians.

We continued walking to the Oslo Cathedral and then 51

on to the Akershus Fortress and Castle.

The Oslo Cathedral is the main church of the Oslo diocese, established in 1076.

The current building is Oslo's third cathedral and was consecrated during 1697. It is Norway's official church with the Palace, the Parliament, and government buildings located within its parish boundaries. Many n a t i o n a l , parliamentary, and royal events have been celebrated there.

The Akershus Fortress and Castle is a medieval castle that was built to protect Oslo. Initial construction on the castle began in the late 1290s. The

fortress was first used in battle in 1308, when it was besieged by the Swedish duke Eric of Sodermanland. The main building has u n d e r g o n e restoration and it has been used for official events and dinners for dignitaries and foreign heads of state. The Akershus fortress is still a military area but is open to the public at certain times.

We arrived at the southeastern entrance to the fortress just in time to witness the changing of the guard. We then walked around the south end of the fortress and north along the western 52

side to the entrance of the castle building. The castle is open only on certain days and we were very fortunate that it was open when we arrived. We took an audio tour of the castle and were able to see the g o v e r n m e n t representation rooms, the castle church, the royal mausoleum, and the dungeon. The Norwegian Ministry of Defense and Defense Staff Norway have a joint m o d e r n headquarters in the eastern part of the fortress.

As we departed the main castle building, we noticed that Norway's Resistance

Museum was also within the fortress.

We toured the Resistance museum and were impressed with the exhibits and documentation of Norway's resistance efforts during the occupation of Norway by the German Nazis during World War II. After the resistance museum, we walked back to our hotel.

Since we had an early train to Trondheim on Saturday morning, the hotel had packed a breakfast-to-go for us and ordered a taxi to the Central Train Station. It was a short taxi ride and, after asking directions, we found the track for our train to Trondheim. We had a 53

Norwegian folk tales and is the home of “Dovregubben,” a troll king. Upon arrival at Trondheim, we took a taxi to the Rica Nidelven Hotel – the taxi trip was so short, we could have walked to the hotel with our luggage. We spent the remainder of the afternoon exploring downtown Trondheim. reservation reference number from Fjord travel for coach 3, seats 143 and 144, on the NSB train with an 8:02 departure time. We also had instructions to board the train and give the reference number to the conductor who would then provide us with our tickets. When the conductor came to us after the train had

departed the station, he had our train tickets with him.

The seven-hour train ride to Trondheim was through the Dovrefjell Mountain plateau which is also a national park. The Dovre mountain range is also important in

After a marvelous buffet breakfast at the Rica hotel on Monday, 24 February, we walked to the dock where the Hurtigruten Coastal Steamer ship M/S Nordkapp was docked.

Although the ship was within walking distance, we decided to take a taxi with our luggage from the hotel to board the ship. The 54

ship is a ferry, with a deck for cars, but the cabins and dining room are as nice as most cruise ships.

Once aboard M/S Nordkapp, we were assigned to a cabin near the bow and, when we arrived at the cabin, the electronic lock on the cabin door would not work. One of the staff members of the ship used her master key to access the cabin and we were dismayed by the tiny and dingy cabin. The staff member said that since the electronic lock was broken, we would be assigned another cabin.

Back at the reception desk, the lady said that the only other cabin that was available all the way to Kirkenes was near the stern of the ship and might have some engine noise and vibration. After

seeing the first cabin, we said that we would take the aft cabin in spite of the potential noise. Once we arrived at the aft cabin, we were delighted to find that it was a spacious three person cabin with large windows and plenty of storage space for our luggage.

Our aft cabin was directly below the dining room and was only minimally noisy 56

when the ship's thrusters were being used when docking at or departing a pier. It was also very convenient to the aft lift on the ship. The daily meals consisted of wonderful openseating breakfast and lunch buffets and a three course dinner at an assigned table. We were told that the M/S Nordkapp was one of

the newer Hurtigruten ships, and we were very pleased with all aspects of our cruise to Kirkenes once we received the aft cabin.

Shortly after departing Trondheim, we passed Monk Island and later in the afternoon passed Kjeungskjer Lighthouse.

This lighthouse from 1880 is regarded as one of the most beautiful lighthouses along the coast. Since we were having good weather, the Captain decided to sail through stokk Sound a narrow and picturesque passage.

Our first stop was for thirty minutes at Rørvik between 8:45 and 9:15 PM. We continued sailing north and crossed the Arctic Circle at about 7:10 AM on February 25 57

where there is an island with an Arctic Circle m a r k e r . S o m e passengers celebrated with “Arctic Circle champagne” which they purchased for the occasion. After passing the village of Ørnes, our next port was a 4½ hour stop at Bodø before continuing north to Stamsund and on to S v o l v e r .

A t approximately 11:15 PM, we sailed to the entrance of the Trollfjord where the ship attempted to illuminate the surface of the sheer mountain with a spotlight. The mouth of the Trollfjord is only 100 meters wide and the mountains surrounding it are between 600 and 1,100 meters high.

Wednesday for an hour and a quarter stopover. The sunrise over Harstad was very beautiful as we approached the city.

After departing Harstad, we passed the Trondenes Church which is the northernmost medieval stone church in the world. After a short stop at Finnsnes,

we continued north to Tromsø.

We arrived at Tromsø at 2:30 PM for a four hour visit. Our tour included a dog sledding excursion where we were taken by bus to the dog sledding facility. There were so many people for this excursion that we were broken up into three groups. The

After sailing through the night, we arrived at Harstad at 6:45 AM on 58

advertised excursion began with a dog sledding ride followed by warming up in a Sami tent with an open fire and a hot beverage. It also included a lecture about dog sledding and the dogs themselves.

Our group started in the Sami tent with cake and hot coffee then out to visit the dogs and receive the lecture. Our

final event was the actual dog sledding ride before returning to the ship.

After dinner, we got our first chance to observe the Northern Lights. They were not brilliant but were readily visible. As we continued north, we made a short stopover at Skjervøy at 10:30 PM. On Thursday morning, we arrived at Hammerfest for a fifteen minute stopover and at Havøysund for a thirty minute stopover en route to a 3½ hour stop at Honningsvag at 11:15 AM. Honningsvag is the main port for the North Cape which is the northernmost point on the

European continent.

Our tour included a North Cape excursion where a bus took us from the ship across the 71st parallel to the North Cape. The landscape between the port and the North Cape is spectacular, with the North Cape plateau rising 307 meters almost vertically above the Arctic Ocean.

After arriving at the North Cape, we visited the Children of the Earth Monument.

The Children of the Earth project began in 1988 when seven children, selected at random from different parts of the world, were flown to the North Cape. Each child made a clay 59

relief which was enlarged, cast in bronze, and erected in 1989. A statue of a mother and child was also erected in 1989 to complete the project.

After a one hour stopover at Kjølleford and a 45 minute stopover at Berievag, the weather conditions at Berievag provided us another opportunity to We visited the North s e e t h e N o r t h e r n Cape Hall visitor center Lights. and the North Cape We continued sailing monument. We also southeast along the watched the marvelous coast for a thirty minute 180° panoramic film stopover at Vadsø about Finmark and the b e f o r e a r r i v i n g a t North Cape in the North Kirkenes at 9:00 AM on Cape Hall.

Friday, 28 February.

As we continued sailing Since our tour included eastward, we passed the a snowmobile safari Finnkjerka (Finn church), excursion and one a unique rock formation night at the Kirkenes at the entrance to a calm S n o w H o t e l , w e bay called Kjølleford. disembarked with our A f t e r p a s s i n g F i n n luggage and boarded a church rock, the ship's mini-bus to go on the crew offered a special snowmobile excursion.

60

gloves before being briefed on the snowmobiles and the rules of operation. The snowmobiles had heaters that heated the handlebars as well as the area near our feet. The safari was along a frozen section of a fjord with hot beverages and dried reindeer meat served in a Sami tent. Our hosts also put on a native Sami show for our benefit.

W h e n t h e snowmobile safari concluded, we were transported to the Thon Hotel Kirkenes where we stored our luggage, packed a small overnight bag, and

waited for pickup by personnel of the Kirkenes Snow Hotel. We ate lunch and made use of the public computer at the Thon hotel to check-in for our SAS flight to Oslo and print our boarding passes.

The mini-bus from the Kirkenes Snow Hotel picked us up around 6:00 PM and transported us to the hotel. Upon arrival at the snow hotel, we were taken to a large Sami structure where we were briefed on the snow hotel and where each person cooked a reindeer sausage over the open fire. We then 61

went to the snow hotel lobby area with ice tables and a round ice bar in the center where we received a d d i t i o n a l briefings and our hotel room assignments. We were assigned to Room No. 4. The r o o m s a r e connected to the lobby area by a long snow hallway with rooms located on both sides of the hallway. After locating our room, we went to the large heated service building where the use of the sleeping bags, internal sheets, sleeping caps, and additional dry socks were

demonstrated.

A f t e r t h e demonstrations, we went to the dining area where we were served dinner. After dinner we went to the service building lounge area to wait until we were ready to get our sleeping gear and go to our rooms for the night.

The hotel is reconstructed every year and is made by inflating large balloons and then blowing freshly made snow from the nearby lake over the balloons. After the snow on the balloons is several feet thick and

allowed to set up, the balloons are deflated and the interior walls are carved. There are holes in the top of the internal chambers and rooms, and the rooms have only curtains at the doorways to permit air circulation within the snow structure. The temperature within the snow hotel is maintained at approximately 5째 C (23째 F). The snow hotel 62

also provides saunas and showers in the service building for the guests.

I was very tired and fell asleep in a chair in the service building lounge area early in the evening. We went to bed in our snow hotel room at about 11 PM. Jan was having some difficulty breathing enough oxygen and returned to the service

building around 3 AM to sleep on a sofa. I woke up several times between 4 and 5 AM because I was extremely hot in the sleeping bag and very thirsty. I finally got up at around 5 AM and went to the service building lounge area to get some coffee and wait for breakfast.

After breakfas t, we walked around the grounds and visited the dog sledding dogs and the reindeer. One building adjacent to the Sami structure had a sign above the door that read “Kirkenes Snow Hotel – The World's 25 Best New Adventures for 2008 by National Geographic.”

We were taken by bus back to the Thon Hotel Kirkenes where we repacked our luggage and called a taxi to take 63

us to the airport to catch our SAS flight to Oslo. The flight to Oslo was uneventful, and we took the SAS airport bus back to the Thon Bristol Hotel for our last night in Norway.

We had a wonderful dinner at the Bristol Grill restaurant and one last buffet breakfast at the hotel before taking the bus back to the Oslo airport.

We departed Oslo on Sunday, March 2nd, on our flights back home to

MOVIES PROJECT ALMANAC th

In the movie Blackhat a man, Chris Hemsworth (Thor), is released from prison to help American and Chinese authorities pursue a mysterious cyber criminal. The dangerous search leads them from Chicago to Hong Kong.

Michael Mann, the director of Heat, (starring Al Pacino), directed the movie Blackhat.

Releasing on 30 January In the movie Project Almanac, originally entitled Welcome To Yesterday, featuring a cast of unknowns, a group of teens discover secret plans of a time machine, and construct one.

However, things start to get out of control.

It was not a shock when on February 5, 2014 Paramount Pictures announced that Welcome To Yesterday was removed from its February 28, 2014 release date (and pushed it back one year to January 30, 2015) – since the studio never even created an official poster for the movie when it was entitled Welcome To Yesterday.

TAKEN 3 th Releasing on 30 January

Taken 3 finds Liam Neeson, who was paid $20 million to star in this third in the Taken series, the hunted prey after he's framed for the murder of someone close to him. “I have to go on the run, I'll put it that way, from the not-solawful types and the lawful authorities,” says Liam Neeson, choosing his words carefully.

“Bryan Mills served his country faithfully, but now even they are after him. They must not like me.”

Taken and Taken 2 writers Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen wrote the screenplay for Taken 3.

Taken, released in 2009, earned $145,000,989 in the U.S., alone, from just a $25 million budget, which told the story of Liam Neeson's Bryan Mills as he frantically tries to get his kidnapped daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) back from her captors.

Taken 2, which made $139,854,287 in the U.S., but cost $45 million, featured Kim springing into action to rescue her father and mother Lenore (Famke Janssen) when they are kidnapped in Albania.
