Brother AiRScouter WD-300C HDMI Head-Mounted Display For Drones | FPV Without Losing Line-of-Sight - Duration: 2:01.

This was the first time I used the AiRScouter.

My first impression was how easy it is to use the AiRScouter with glasses or sunglasses.

It's often difficult to see tablets or smartphones in bright outdoor conditions.

The AiRScouter's bright and vivid display is easy to see, even in a bright outdoor environment.

I was also able to check telemetry data using the AiRScouter.

The ability to continuously see this data makes drone operation safer.

There's a risk of losing sight of your drone during long-range flights when you look down at a tablet or smartphone to check telemetry data.

I like that AiRScouter lets you keep sight of your drone while you check telemetry data. This makes it easier to operate safely.

I believe that AiRScouter will make it safer to take more aggressive shots, and it will improve the overall quality of aerial photography and video work.

MOOC USSV101x | University Studies for Student Veterans | Trailer - Duration: 2:10.

- My name is Morgan Davis.

I was a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army.

School for me, particularly at a four-year university

was more like being on a deployment.

There is no such thing as just a six hour day

or an eight hour day.

When you become a student it really is

almost a 24 hour process.

- I'm not being graded on how many push-ups I can do

or how many, how fast I can run five miles.

Instead, I'm being graded on how well I can generate

like a five paragraph essay.

- You have to be accountable to yourself

and that's a whole new skill set.

- Welcome to University Studies for Student Veterans.

My name is R.J. Jenkins

and I'll be serving as the lead instructor for the course.

Before joining the team at the Columbia University

Center for Veteran Transition and Integration,

I served as an academic advisor

and as the director of Academic and Learning Initiatives.

At Columbia University's School of General Studies,

a national leader in providing higher education,

to veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.

In those roles I had an opportunity

to work with hundreds of veterans

as they managed the transition from active military service

to the rigors of a college classroom.

And I heard the same thing over and over again

from the student vets I worked with.

Making the transition from being in the service

to being in school, isn't always straight forward.

So whether you're currently a student veteran,

who's pursuing higher education right now,

or you're an active duty service member

who aspires to start school or return to school soon.

Perhaps you're a higher education professional who thinks

that this resource may help you better serve

the student veterans at your school.

Or maybe you're just a civilian who's interested

in the unique challenges that veterans face as they seek

to rejoin the civilian population

and better their futures with a college education.

We hope that you'll join us

for University Studies for Student Veterans.

Research: Photobiomodulation for Skeletal Muscle Performance | Ernesto Leal-Junior, PhD, PT - Duration: 2:39.

I am Professor Ernesto Leal-Junior.

I am a physical therapist with a master's degree in biomedical engineering

and I earned my PhD at the University of Bergen in Norway.

In 2011 I finished my post-doctorate

at the Department of Pharmacology

at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil.

Right now I am the lead researcher for Multi Radiance Medical

and I am a full professor at Nove de Juhlo University in Brazil.

First of all, we will talk about the

effects of phototherapy on skeletal muscle fatigue,

skeletal muscle performance, and skeletal muscle recovery.

In this study we aimed to identify

the optimal dose for sports performance enhancement

and to accelerate recovery

after an extensive exercise session.

We tested 3 different doses using the MR4

laser manufactured by Multi Radiance Medical.

What we found was the 30 J dose was the best dose

in order to improve performance and to accelerate recovery.

One of the important things here is that we applied lasers

immediately before the exercise session.

What does this mean?

This means that if you apply lasers before

an extensive session of exercise,

you are able to keep your performance at the highest level

and at the same time, you are able to

protect your muscles against damage,

which means that your recovery will be

dramatically accelerated if you use

low level laser therapy before an exercise session.

These findings have a big impact in clinical practice since we know that

it's a challenge to try to keep athletes

at the highest level of performance and also have the athletes

ready for the next exercise session.

If you think about the outcomes of this study,

this means that if you apply laser before your exercise session,

you are able to keep your athlete at the highest level of performance,

and you are able also to prevent

the overuse and over training injuries.

6 Home Buying Tips for Families - Duration: 2:42.

Hi guys, I'm bonnie and today

I'm working with Beazer Homes to talk to you about my top tips for house hunting when you've got kids

There are a few really important things you need to know to find the perfect home for your family, so let's take a look

1. Naturally the first thing we look at when buying a home is its curb appeal

We want it to look nice from the outside, but most importantly for me. Is that we're on a family friendly street

Where the kids can ride bikes and explore the neighborhood

I also love the idea of having a porch where we can sit and enjoy watching the kids play on cooler, Arizona nights

2. The main family living area and kitchen are the heart of our home

And I love how this model has them connected

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen whether making meals or cleaning up, setting the table and the idea that my kids can be

Playing or reading in the living room and still see me is perfect

3. Let's talk about kitchens for a minute. The kitchen is the first thing I look at in a new home

And if it's not big enough or really functional then forget about it

This one has a place for kids to sit at the island, oodles of storage and gorgeous counters that make food prep and cleanup easy

Beazer Homes are also built to Energy Star requirements, so you'll save money even while cooking all day

4. A separate dining space is a boon for big families because it means we can all sit down to eat dinner together and that's

really important to me. I also love how in this home

you could invite dinner guests over without having them see the mess of the kitchen

The coolest thing about Beazer homes is their choice plans which means you can choose from a variety of room-specific floor plans to suit

your family's lifestyle. Want a different kitchen layout? It's totally your choice!

5. I cannot say enough good things about the importance of a peaceful master bedroom suite. As a mom

I feel like the whole house is your workspace

It's exhausting to pick up after everyone all day long

having a nice retreat that you can hole up in at the end of the day for alone time, time with your spouse or

just Netflix time is a must-have.

This one is spacious and beautiful with lots of storage and check out this gorgeous shower!

And finally 6. having a separate loft or family room area has been one of the best things that we've done for our family

It's a place where you can put cartoons on for the little kids while you talk with adults downstairs or clean up

Or maybe even hopefully, sneak in a nap.

And those are my tips, I hope you enjoyed them! If you're searching for a home

this was the Kinkade model in the June Skies community. Go to Beazerhomes.com to learn more

Arsenal and Liverpool given green light to move for Turan after Barcelona tell him he can leave - Duration: 2:26.

Arsenal and Liverpool given green light to move for Arda Turan after Barcelona tell him he can leave for nothing

BARCELONA are so desperate to get rid of flop Arda Turan they will let him leave for nothing, according to reports. The Turkish international has had a nightmare time at the Nou Camp since his £24million move in 2015.

Arda Turan has been told he is free to leave Barcelona.

Arda Turan has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal and Liverpool interested.

A transfer ban meant the midfielder couldnt play first-team football for the first six months but has ended up starting just 23 La Liga matches since January 2016.

And it appears Arsenal and Liverpool can now swoop for their transfer target with Barca willing to let Turan leave before the end of the transfer window according to Spanish publication Sport.

Both Premier League clubs have been linked with the Turk this summer with Arsenal previously lining up a £30m switch.

Turan was told he was free to leave the club last January and had the chance to join China in a mega-money deal.

But he decided to stay put and is prepared to sit in the fringes of the first-team with his contract expiring in 2020.

With Luis Suarez out injured and Neymar playing in a Paris Saint-Germain jersey, Turan did make the bench in Barcas 2-0 opening league win against Real Betis but failed to get on the pitch.

Flogging a d.e.a.d OX? Flat-pack truck looks for a jump start - Duration: 8:23.

Flogging a d.e.a.d OX? Flat-pack truck looks for a jump start

No, this isn't a refugee from an early '80s issue of Kit Car Magazine. This, despite its retro cuboid looks, is the new OX truck from Global Vehicles Trust.

Well, new in the sense that it's the subject of a recent press release, published to drum up some commercial interest.

We first saw the OX back in 2013, when it did its initial rounds in an effort to garner some financial support. What's it for? It looks a little… agricultural.

The idea behind the OX is an entirely commendable and honourable one. It's a simple, low-cost truck that's designed for developing countries which require a tough, hard-working truck that can carry out myriad tasks. So, what's special about it?.

Well, it's not as small as it looks, for a start. It's about as long as a Volkswagen Golf, but wider and taller, and it weighs 1600kg dry.

Unlike the Golf, however, the OX has a substantial claimed payload capacity of 1900kg and – if otherwise unladen – it can seat up to 13 people, its makers say.

It also has a decent amount of ground clearance, long-travel suspension and a stubby nose and tail, granting it good departure and approach angles. These aspects make it ideally suited to tackling rough terrain.

The OX isn't four-wheel drive, however, which you might expect given its rugged off-road intents. Power comes from a 2.2-litre 16-valve diesel that produces 99bhp and 229lb ft, all of which is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.

It is reputed to deal with off-roading as well as an equivalent four-wheel-drive rival, however, and the simplicity of its drivetrain could be considered a plus.

Other key features include a tailgate that can be detached and used as a loading ramp, rear bench bases that can be used as planks to help free the OX from mud and sand, and a power take-off (PTO) for driving tools or generators.

Any other interesting features on the OX van?. GVT claims that the OX can be flat-packed within itself, making it easier to ship around the world.

Reputedly, it takes three people some six hours to assemble the flat-packed version; six of these compressed OX vehicles can then be stowed in a regular 40ft container.

Its a clever principle, ideal for getting significant numbers of them out to developing countries quickly and at a sensible cost.

However, the company also says it requires three skilled people up to 12 hours to assemble the OX at the other end – with GVT saying that professional companies will be employed 'to assemble and maintain the finished vehicles.'.

On reflection, it looks like the OX is basically supplied as a bare chassis with the body panels and various parts stacked on top – and it requires a fair amount of work to finish – like many other complete knock-down kits.

Its manufacturer also cites its central driving position as having 'specific advantages for the world's developing countries, some of which have right-hand traffic, while others drive on the left.

' You could argue that GVT has just made it a complete pain in either instance – surely the smart solution would have been an easily swappable steering column assembly?. Who's behind it?  .

Sir Torquil Norman, a British businessman and philanthropist. He envisioned a truck that could provide all-terrain, practical mobility for areas like Africa, and roped in Gordon Murray – yes, that one – to come up with a suitable design.

Norman later founded GVT, to further pursue the concept.

Norman said: 'My inspiration for the OX goes back to seeing the Africar project of the 1980s. This project shares some of the aims of that vehicle, but its execution is radically different.

OX was just a dream six years ago, but it is now a realistic prospect for production with working prototypes that have completed a comprehensive testing programme.'. Wait, is this another stillborn Murray project – like the T25 city car and iStream production?.

Well, regardless of its good intentions, there are hints of that. This project went public in 2013 and, given that several prototypes have now been built, presumably a lot of money has been sunk into it.

A case of escalation of commitment, or a concept that's about to be met with wild success? We'd sincerely hope the latter, but time, as they say, will tell.

On the plus side, in any case, perhaps this project has so far saved us from seeing T25s in the wild – by taking up Murray's time.

After all, for that car to be successful, it needs to look better and be far more justifiable. No-one will want one, otherwise, regardless of how good it reputedly is.

What are the potential sticking points with the OX?. At a glance, there are several issues that may be holding it back:. No word on price yet.

Itll need to be cheaper than alternatives in developing countries It sounds difficult to assemble without OEM support Parts may be hard to obtain when it's out in the boondocks, compared with alternatives Only 2WD which, despite claims, could be problematic – particularly when laden Bringing costs down could entail making it locally, negating any 'flat-pack' benefits Central driving position potentially problematic in some instances.

It's a neat concept, though, but perhaps one that might be considered by some to be unjustifiable in the areas and businesses it is targeting. So, what's next for the OX?.

If anything's to happen, as was the case three years ago, it needs OXloads of money thrown at it.

Norman added: 'Our priority now is to raise the funding to complete the testing and take the project to fruition. We believe that the OX has huge potential for charities, aid organisations and development programmes.

My dream is to one day see an OX in every village in Africa.'.

BBR launches Super 200 pack for new Mazda MX-5 - Duration: 5:56.

BBR launches Super 200 pack for new Mazda MX-5

Fabled MX-5 fettler BBR has launched a new 'Super 200' pack for the ND generation of Mazda's svelte roadster.

The upgrade, which costs £2634 in DIY form, boosts the 20-litre MX'5s factory output from 158bhp to a heady 205bhp. Torque climbs, too, from 148lb ft to a more flexible 179lb ft. How much quicker does that make the MX-5?.

Mazda quotes a factory 0-62mph time of 7.3sec. With the upgrade, BBR states that the MX-5 will dispatch the 0-60mph sprint in just 5.65sec. That's quite a significant hike in performance.

In-gear acceleration and general day-to-day drivability is reputedly improved, too, thanks to the extra 31lb ft offered by the Super 200 pack.

So what does BBR change?. For a change, this isn't a simple remap and a few tweaks to the intake system – as you'd probably guessed, given the relatively high price tag.

BBR's upgrades consist of new camshafts, upgraded valve springs and spring retainers, a four-into-one stainless steel exhaust manifold, a new cold air intake system and a custom ECU map. Sounds like it'll give the MX-5 some real pep.

The regular 20-litre MX-5 produces its peak output at 6000rpm and BBR states that many have criticised its unwillingness to rev – taking some edge off the Mazda's driver appeal.

With the Super 200 pack fitted, however, peak power is shifted to a higher 6950rpm, with the limiter just above at 7150rpm – and the revamped engine is claimed to be far more eager in the upper echelons of the rev range.

Consequently, in conjunction with the increased output, the MX-5 should be far more entertaining to drive. Crucially, BBR says that the OEM idle characteristics and safety features are retained, and that the upgrade is compliant with MOT emissions requirements.

Are there any other upgrades available?.

There's a Super 200+ option, which adds a 2.5-inch stainless steel exhaust system, boosting power further to 214bhp and 183lb ft. Two silencer options are offered, granting the choice of a more subtle tone or a louder, more aggressive set-up.

Want to go further? Well, given that the engine's naturally aspirated, you'll start having to spend a lot more.

BBR says it can deliver a gas-flowed cylinder head, which when fitted in conjunction with the other upgrades will result in the engine pumping out 225bhp – but it's a price on application affair. BBR also offers a lesser Super 190 upgrade.

What about the chassis side of things?. BBR's got you covered. You can opt for a sports suspension package, an adjustable anti-roll bar kit and a Wilwood front brake upgrade. .

When can I buy the Super 200 pack – and how much is it? . BBR says the Super 200 upgrade is available now, with prices starting from £2195 ex. VAT) for a DIY version.

You'll pay a higher £3354 (including VAT) for the Super 200 pack all installed and dialled in, however – so it's not a casual upgrade, considering that's 16% of the cost of a new 20-litre MX-5.

BBR says that 12 to 36-month warranty packs are available, however, potentially making it a more appealing upgrade for those who have only recently acquired their Mazda. Do I really need more power in my MX-5, though?.

We'd say, initially at least, no. What the Mazda would benefit from, if you were looking to make it more entertaining and capable, is a suspension upgrade.

Once the chassis, tyres and the brakes aren't the limiting factors, and you've acclimatised to the car, then consider moving onto the powerplant.
