Robot Lays Bricks 6x Times Faster Humans - SAM - Semi Automated Mason
A New York-based company has invented a semi-automated robot that is able to lay bricks up to six times faster than a human can. The Semi-Automated Mason (SAM) system costs $500,000 (£330,000) and has taken New York-based Construction Robotics eight years to develop and test out on construction sites.
The system is available to order and features a robotic arm that is able to pick up bricks, apply mortar and then lay each brick in the desired location to build up a wall, laying between 800 to 1,200 bricks a day. In comparison, a human mason can only lay about 300 to 500 bricks a day.
The robot can be mounted on scaffolding and is even clever enough to adjust for wind swaying the structure it is standing on, as well as to figure out the difference between the building's planned specifications and what's actually on site.
Robot saves heavy lifting, but still needs plenty of human direction.
As its name suggests, the robot is not completely automated – a human needs to follow it and tidy up after it or carry out more intricate tasks such as laying corner bricks, so it will not be replacing anyone's job any time soon, while humans are also needed to run a control panel on a tablet that sends specific commands wirelessly to the arm.
What makes the robot useful, though, is the fact that it can save a great deal of lifting. It is also able to perform a wide array of functions due to computer algorithms, sensors that measure velocity, orientation and angles, and a laser that acts as the robot's eyes to sense depths and distance.
To that end, SAM can be programmed to create different types of brick bonds, or extremely complex patterns using different coloured bricks. It can also stamp a brick with a particular company's logo by following a digitised pixel version of an image, or bump bricks in or out of the wall by half an inch in order to create a textured appearance.
Robot unlikely to replace humans on the building site
SAM comes with a control panel on a tablet that lets humans input specific measurements on site that are sent wirelessly to the robot.
According to Construction Robotics, in recent years a shortage in masons has led to the price of bricklaying increasing sharply. SAM can help with this since it can speed up the building of long stretches of wall, but when it comes to short stretches, it would still be more effective to use a mason and humans will still need to perform quality control on the robot's work.
"Your mason monitors wall quality, while SAM does the heavy lifting. Masons that haven't worked with SAM are hesitant at first, but once they learn and work with the robot they, and realise it won't take their job, they are very open to it," Zachary Podkaminer, operations manager at Construction Robotics, told Construction Manager.
To get SAM to work, masons first need to use Construction Robotics' proprietary software to design how they want their wall to look. Then when they get to the building site, they take specific measurements of where the doors and windows will go by looking at the actual building's progress, which might deviate from the plans slightly, and input that information into the tablet app.
Powered by propane gas, once SAM is installed on the level it needs to be on, the mason just needs to feed it enough bricks and mortar, and the robot can then run for hours on end in that particular setup.
Construction Robotics says it is building two more units of SAM that will be available for sale before the end of September. And, coincidentally, SAM bears a slight resemblance to the multi-axis 3D printing robot devised by Dutch startup MX3D in June that can print a steel bridge in mid-air.

"Virtual Crash Billboard" Scares People Crossing Street Against Red Light - Takes Their Picture
https://www.youtube.com/user/ServiceplanVideos ---The Virtual Crash Billboard was done by Serviceplan Paris advertising agency for Road Safety Authority in France. It was released in Apr 2017. Serviceplan held an unprecedented field operation in Paris on March 22 to raise awareness about the dangers of being a careless pedestrian, which results in 4,500 victims each year in Ile-de-France.
In Europe's major cities, thousands of pedestrians are victims of traffic accidents every year. In the Paris region alone, there are more than 4,500.
The Agency Serviceplan France and the French road safety authority DRIEA (Direction Régionale et Interdépartementale de l'Equipement et l'Aménagement) draw attention to this security risk with a spectacular campaign – creative, interactive, but also drastic.
The idea behind the operation was to display a specially designed interactive digital billboard near a busy pelican crossing. Equipped with a movement detector, speaker, and camera, the smart billboard made the sound of squealing tires whenever a pedestrian attempted to cross the road while the “red man” was displayed.

Waterotor Portable Turbine - High Energy Output from Slow Moving Water
An Innovative breakthrough for harnessing energy from very slow moving water. The small, rolling drum-like device called the Waterotor, created by Fred Ferguson, CEO of Waterotor Energy Technologies, is capable of harnessing energy from water currents moving at just one to six miles per hour and converting into electricity. The Waterotor is ideal for the world’s energy requirement through renewable way because it transforms the energy in slow-moving rivers and ocean currents to electrical power, thereby making a continual stream of low-cost electricity available 24 hours a day to people and businesses not connected to a central grid. This unique hydro-turbine is the result of a multiyear R&D program conducted under the leadership of renowned technologist Fred Ferguson, recipient of numerous awards and recognition for his work in the aerospace and energy fields.
Waterotor is unique in that its highly developed design can extract a very high level of energy (Coefficient of Power) from very slow flowing water. Waterotor stands alone by extracting 30 % of slow moving water energy and converting this energy to electricity at these very slow water flow speeds. No other water extraction device can effectively and cost efficiently operate in a flow speed of 4 mph ‘typically found in ocean currents and many river systems’. Also, the 30 % extraction rate is a constant from flow speeds as low as 1 mph.
Fundamental to the invention is the way in which the Waterotor achieves maximum torque resulting in a high coefficient of power. This relates directly to power vs. size vs. water flow speed. Ferguson’s early inventive understanding of the combined components and features regarding the W.E.T.
Waterotor has been verified for maximum energy extraction for a water flow speed range from 1 mph to over 20 mph (size and generator match ‘selection’ per size and flow conditions). Efficiency rating is 24 % energy extraction to over 30% – about the maximum expected efficiency for a Savonius rotor.
Advantages of Waterotor
Operates in slow-moving water; as lower than 1.5 mph
Mobile, requires no bottom fixtures or foundation, only simple anchoring
Strong yet simple structural integrity (‘drum like’)
High coefficient of power (high-energy output vs. size)
Environmentally friendly (no high speed spinning blades)
Broadens a competitive market from very low to high water flow speeds
Most cost effective (simple to build and fully scalar)
The Waterotor-Generator is classified as a ‘low head’ system, meaning the flow is horizontal through the entire system. It is unique among all low-head systems in that it is the only device that is not an open propeller-like bladed turbine or ‘airfoil-like’ turbine. These bladed turbines accelerate in the flow to tip speeds higher than the flow itself.
Given the difference in density of water and air, a 3 mph ocean current has about as much kinetic energy as a 240 mph wind. Hence, a much smaller device is required to harness energy. From water flow than to harness wind energy. As oceans cover over 70% of the earth’s surface, ocean energy (including wave power, tidal current power and ocean thermal energy conversion) represents a vast source of energy, estimated at between 3,000 TWh (Terawatts), i.e. 2,000,000,000,000,000 watt hours per year. This is enough energy to satisfy a major portion of the world’s electrical needs.
The National Research Council recently selected the Waterotor for support under its highly competitive Industrial Research Assistance Program. Black & McDonald and other Canadian companies have helped to get the Waterotor ready for commercial production.

How To Find Water In The Desert - Survival Tips
More Awesome Tech Insider Vids- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVLZmDKeT-mV4H3ToYXIFYg ...Deserts are areas that receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation a year. They are hot and dry during the day and cold at night. The most important thing you need in a desert is water. The dry, hot temperatures will dehydrate you quickly, especially if you can't escape the sun and physical exertion.
Slow your rate of water loss. Exercise and sun exposure will speed up dehydration. Be smart about when you search for water. If possible, spend the hottest parts of the day in a shady location away from wind. Keep your skin covered to reduce water loss from sweat evaporation.
Follow wildlife. A group of animals almost always means water is nearby. Look for the following signs:
Listen for birdsong and watch the sky for circling birds.
If you encounter swarms of flies or mosquitoes, look nearby for water. Bees often fly in straight lines between water sources and the hive. Keep an eye out for animal tracks or trails, especially ones leading downhill.
Look for vegetation. Dense vegetation and most trees cannot survive without a steady water source.
If you are unfamiliar with local vegetation, aim for the greenest plants you can see. Deciduous and wide-leafed trees are typically a better sign than pine trees, as they tend to require more water.
If you can identify local plants, see below for species to look for.
In North America, look for cottonwoods, willows, sycamores, hackberry, salt cedar, arrow weed, and cattails.
In Australia, look for desert kurrajong, needle-bush, desert oak, or water bush. Keep an eye out for mallee eucalypts, or eucalypts that grow with multiple stems emerging outward from the same underground tuber.
Search up canyons and valleys. Your best bet is a canyon that stays shaded during the hot afternoon, upstream of the mouth. This means a north-facing canyon if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, or a south-facing canyon in the Southern Hemisphere. Find these with a topographical map if you have one, or eyeball the surrounding landscape.
Snow or rainfall is more likely to be retained in these cooler canyons, sometimes for months after a major rainstorm.
Find dry stream or river beds. Sometimes you can find water just under the surface. The best place to look is at a bend in the river, on the outside edge. The flowing water may have eroded this area down, creating a depression that catches the last dregs of water.
Find high ground if you see no other options. A hike to the high ground gives you the best vantage point to look for the features mentioned above.
When the sun is low in the sky, look for the glare of a reflection on the ground. This may be a body of water. If you are in an area used for cattle, you may see artificial water collection features at the base of gently sloping ground.
At the base of sloping rock features.
Near dense vegetation pockets, especially where bulges and cracks may indicate tree roots.
Anywhere the surface soil feels damp, or at least more clay-like than sandy.
Groundwater tends to be closest to the surface in the early morning, especially in areas with vegetation.
Look for moisture about a foot under the surface. Dig a narrow hole about 1 ft (30 cm) deep. If the ground is still dry, move on to a different spot. If you notice damp soil, move on to the next step.
Enlarge the hole. Expand the hole until it is about 1 ft (30 cm) in diameter. You may notice water seeping in from the sides, but finish digging even if you don't.
Wait for water to collect. Return to your hole after a few hours, or at the end of the day. If there was water in the soil, it should collect at the base of your hole.
Gather the water. If the water is difficult to reach, soak it up with a cloth and squeeze it into a container. Collect all the water right away, using makeshift containers if necessary. Water holes can empty fast in the desert.
Disinfect the water (recommended). Whenever possible, purify the water before drinking it. Boiling the water, using iodine tablets, or pouring it through an anti-microbial filter will remove almost all biological contaminants.
Collect dew. Look for dew drops on vegetation before dawn. To gather it, pass an absorbent cloth over the dew, then squeeze it into a container.
If you don't have absorbent cloth, form a clump of grass into a ball and use that instead.
Eat cactus fruit. These juicy fruits are safe to eat and contain enough moisture to supplement other sources. Collect the fruit carefully to avoid injury, then roast them in a fire for 30–60 seconds to burn off the spines and hairs.
You can eat prickly pear cactus pads as well. They are best when gathered young in the spring, then cooked. During other seasons they may be tough and hard to eat.

CRAZY! - 27 Robberies in One Day - Brazil
Socialism is the Big Lie of the twentieth century. While it promised prosperity, equality, and security, it delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny. Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery. In the same way that a Ponzi scheme or chain letter initially succeeds but eventually collapses, socialism may show early signs of success. But any accomplishments quickly fade as the fundamental deficiencies of central planning emerge. It is the initial illusion of success that gives government intervention its pernicious, seductive appeal. In the long run, socialism has always proven to be a formula for tyranny and misery.
A pyramid scheme is ultimately unsustainable because it is based on faulty principles. Likewise, collectivism is unsustainable in the long run because it is a flawed theory. Socialism does not work because it is not consistent with fundamental principles of human behavior. The failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores incentives.
In a capitalist economy, incentives are of the utmost importance. Market prices, the profit-and-loss system of accounting, and private property rights provide an efficient, interrelated system of incentives to guide and direct economic behavior. Capitalism is based on the theory that incentives matter!
Under socialism, incentives either play a minimal role or are ignored totally. A centrally planned economy without market prices or profits, where property is owned by the state, is a system without an effective incentive mechanism to direct economic activity. By failing to emphasize incentives, socialism is a theory inconsistent with human nature and is therefore doomed to fail. Socialism is based on the theory that incentives don’t matter!
In a radio debate several months ago with a Marxist professor from the University of Minnesota, I pointed out the obvious failures of socialism around the world in Cuba, Eastern Europe, and China. At the time of our debate, Haitian refugees were risking their lives trying to get to Florida in homemade boats. Why was it, I asked him, that people were fleeing Haiti and traveling almost 500 miles by ocean to get to the “evil capitalist empire” when they were only 50 miles from the “workers’ paradise” of Cuba?
The Marxist admitted that many “socialist” countries around the world were failing. However, according to him, the reason for failure is not that socialism is deficient, but that the socialist economies are not practicing “pure” socialism. The perfect version of socialism would work; it is just the imperfect socialism that doesn’t work. Marxists like to compare a theoretically perfect version of socialism with practical, imperfect capitalism which allows them to claim that socialism is superior to capitalism.
If perfection really were an available option, the choice of economic and political systems would be irrelevant. In a world with perfect beings and infinite abundance, any economic or political system–socialism, capitalism, fascism, or communism–would work perfectly.
However, the choice of economic and political institutions is crucial in an imperfect universe with imperfect beings and limited resources. In a world of scarcity it is essential for an economic system to be based on a clear incentive structure to promote economic efficiency. The real choice we face is between imperfect capitalism and imperfect socialism. Given that choice, the evidence of history overwhelmingly favors capitalism as the greatest wealth-producing economic system available.
The strength of capitalism can be attributed to an incentive structure based upon the three Ps: (1) prices determined by market forces, (2) a profit-and-loss system of accounting and (3) private property rights. The failure of socialism can be traced to its neglect of these three incentive-enhancing components.
~Mark J. Perry is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan’s Flint campus.
O socialismo é a Grande Mentira do século XX. Embora prometesse a prosperidade, a igualdade e a segurança, só proporcionou pobreza, penúria e tirania. A igualdade foi alcançada apenas no sentido de que todos eram iguais em sua penúria.
Do mesmo modo que um esquema de pirâmide ou as cartas de uma corrente inicialmente têm êxito mas acabam fracassando, o socialismo pode mostrar sinais iniciais de sucesso. Porém, qualquer realização rapidamente desaparece assim que as deficiências fundamentais do planejamento central aparecem. É a ilusão inicial de sucesso que confere à intervenção governamental seu apelo pernicioso, sedutor. A longo prazo, o socialismo sempre demonstrou ser uma fórmula para a tirania e para a penúria.

Humans In 1,000 Years - What Will We Be Like?
Considering today’s technological advancements it’s really interesting to think about the future. How will humanity be different in 1,000 years? Scientists did an interesting project about answering this question and they discovered 7 mind boggling biological changes the future generations will have. Here they are- Scientists predict we’ll be taller, skinnier and our faces will be perfectly symmetrical from left to right following a golden ratio.
Scientists predict we may develop a whole new eye color: Red Eyes!
The average lifespan of a human being will be more than 120 years.
Sun protection will be an evolutionary advantage so we may develop darker skin.
With advancements in science and medicine we’ll be stronger and healthier.
Scientists say that humans will most likely integrate nano bots in their biological systems which will enhance their biological abilities.
Due to climate change, radiation and warfare, scientists say humans might very well have genetic mutations that give them superhuman abilities.
About 10,000 years ago, humans evolved a tolerance to cow's milk; over the past 150 years, we've added 10 centimetres to our average height; and over the past 65 years, we've added 20 years to the average lifespan, mostly thanks to advances in science. We've come so far in such an incredibly short period of time, so what will we look like in another 1,000 years? First off, we humans have a reason to be as smug as we are - our brains are so good, even the most advanced computer system doesn't even come close. In fact, last year researchers used the K computer in Japan - one of the most powerful computers in the world - to simulate human brain activity, and it took 705,024 processor cores, 1.4 million GB of RAM, and 40 minutes to process the same amount of data processed by 1 second of brain activity. But we might not always have an edge over the machines we create.
Scientists predict that in the future, computers will not only match the computational speed of the human brain, we'll also develop artificial intelligence that can speak, interact, listen, and remember. Let's just hope they don't use all that information to turn against us.
And as computers grow progressively more human, so too will humans become more integrated with robots. In the future, scientists predict that we'll have minuscule robots called nanobots swimming around our bodies and enhancing our natural abilities. Known as transhumanism, this could see us no longer limited to what biology can be achieved, and the possibilities of that are pretty incredible to think about.
And it's not just our own bodies that technology has the potential to completely change. As the video points out, 'utility clouds' of microscopic robots could assemble themselves into entire buildings and them disassemble just as easily.
In the next 1,000 years, the amount of languages spoken on the planet are set to seriously diminish, and all that extra heat and UV radiation could see darker skin become an evolutionary advantage. And we're all set to get a whole lot taller and thinner, if we want to survive, that is.

Amazing Kite Turbine By Scottish Inventor Engineer Rod Read - Kite Power Plant System
As countries move to reduce their carbon emissions, wind generators have become the most widely implemented renewable energy sources. However, wind turbines are expensive to set up and operate. Construction consumes vast amounts of energy and resources, requires significant long-term investment and involves complex planning procedures. The use of kites as wind power generators avoids the need for a fixed tower, enabling access to higher altitudes, and hence stronger, more laminar airflow. Thus energy creation is cheaper and more efficient than the wind turbine alternative.
Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) are not a new concept. However, many systems under development, such as Google’s Makani, tend to require complex computer controlled hardware to steer the flying turbines accurately, making them expensive and introducing operational risk.
Hebridean engineer, Rod Read, has developed a system using spinning kites tethered to a ground-based turbine. (think of the spinning red parafoils on the BBC ident) The turbine only uses kite parts without needing controls, making it lightweight and affordable. Working in an open source hardware environment, Rod has spent the last five years perfecting his design and his company is now selling these scalable kite power systems online. Further R&D on his system designs is being carried out in conjunction with the University of Strathclyde and TU Delft in the Netherlands.
Rod explains “Power to weight ratio is key to the efficiency of flying wind turbines. The advantage of using kites is their lightweight construction. My system ties the kites in a simple rigging arrangement which can be set up quickly and easily, even in terrain where you couldn’t transport a regular turbine. This first system is designed to be affordable for personal use, for example when camping, but the science which guided the design allows it to be scaled up to provide enough power for grid and utility uses.”
Part of Scotland will soon be powered by kites - The offshore kite farm is expected to generate 'several hundred megawatts' of power by 2025.
Name a method of generating power that's cheap, efficient, sustainable and sounds like something Mary Poppins dreamed up after downing 20 teaspoons of sugar. That's right -- kite power. One of the world's first non-experimental, kite-driven power stations will be established offshore in Southern Scotland, at the Ministry of Defence's West Freugh Range near Stranraer. UK company Kite Power Solutions plans to install a 500 kilowatt system that it expects will generate 'several hundred megawatts' of energy by 2025, Independent reports.
The project is backed by multinational oil company Royal Dutch Shell and the UK government, though Kite Power Solutions business development director David Ainsworth says the project will be "tariff-free." For one, the cost of mooring the kites is far less than mooring wind turbines, since the kite system essentially floats. The kites fly up to 450 meters in a figure-eight pattern and pull a tether attached to a turbine to produce electricity. Two kites alternately rising and falling ensures continuous power.
A single 40-meter-wide kite generates two to three megawatts of electricity and a field of roughly 1,000 kites "would produce as much electricity as the planned Hinkley Point C nuclear power station if the wind blew constantly," according to Independent.
The Stranraer region is inundated with wind and Kite Power Solutions expects just 10 days a year when the system won't generate power. In these cases, the company will use a small fan to keep the kites afloat as they wait for more wind.
Kite Power Solutions already established a small kite-power system in England's Essex county, and there's a large research project in Italy that uses kites to generate energy.

5 Outdoor Survival Myths That Can Get You Killed
Here are five of the biggest myths about survival that could cost you your life: Myth No. 1: You Can Successfully Suck the Poison Out of a Snakebite -- The primary reason why this one is a myth in the first place is because we have seen it on so many movies and TV shows. But the truth is that cutting into a snakebite to get to the poison only makes an existing open wound worse. Furthermore, this action does not provide you with a good way to remove all of the poison, and any that you can remove with your mouth can either get on your skin or down your throat.
At the very least, this will cause heavy skin irritation and severely damage your trachea. The best treatment to handle a snakebite is to use anti-venom and seek medical attention. You should wear a cool, soaked bandana or similar material around your head and place another one over your wound until medical help arrives.
Myth No. 2: Food Is Your First Priority
There’s no denying that starvation is certainly one of the things that can kill you in a wilderness survival situation. But you can survive for up to four or more weeks without food. In other words, it’s not what’s going to bring you down first. In that time, there are plenty of other things that could kill you before you starve. Staying hydrated and staying warm are, by far, bigger priorities in a survival situation.
Myth No. 3: A Shelter Means You Are Protected
For one thing, chances are high you’re not going to make a shelter that has four walls and a roof when stuck out in a survival situation. Your shelter is more likely to be a lean-to or a similar, simple shelter. Such a shelter is necessary for survival because it keeps you camouflaged in the wild and offers you a little bit of wind protection. If you’ve insulated your shelter, it can provide you with some warmth as well.
But when it comes down to it, simply constructing a shelter is not going to keep you fully protected from the elements throughout the night. You’ll still be cold and uncomfortable, which is why you also must build a fire and always be on the watch for a hungry animal or an incoming storm.
Myth No. 4: If You’ve Been Stabbed by an Object, You Should Pull It Out
This is a myth similar to the snakebite one in that it comes from movies and TV. We’ve seen a countless number of heroes who, after being stabbed by a knife, pull the blade out and tend to their wound. If you are ever accidentally stabbed with a knife or any other sharp object in a survival situation (such as a sharp stick or glass), pulling it may only cause you to bleed faster and make things worse. Instead, dress your wounded area and keep the object stable until it can be properly removed.
Myth No. 5: Moss Only Grows on the North Side of Trees
While it is true that moss tends to grow better on the north side of trees, “better” does not equal “only.” In fact, as long as it receives water and shade, moss can grow on any side of a tree. The point of this is that you can’t count on tree moss as a navigational tool. For all you know, you could the going in the completely wrong direction – making your survival situation worse and threatening your life in the process.

Smart VR Helmets with Augmented Reality for Construction - DAQRI
DAQRI smart helmet - A visionary tool for the 21 century worker. LA-based augmented reality company Daqri has unveiled a smart hardhat that gives workers additional layers of information about their surroundingsDATA VISUALIZATION - Give your workers distributed information and situational awareness outside of the control room to improve efficiency by reducing the amount of movement and the need for a centralized location.
Thermal Vision - Create a safer environment for your operators by giving them the ability to visualize, passively record, and analyze temperature data in their real world environment as well as improve maintenance and monitoring.
GUIDED WORK INSTRUCTIONS -
Provide your workforce with intuitive augmented instructions on the job so they’ll understand processes quickly, spend less time on each step, and make fewer errors.
Remote Expert -
Give and receive needed assistance displayed directly in your team's point-of-view, sharing expertise, and elevating their skill level. Both the expert and the onsite team member will be able to quickly and intelligently resolve issues or concerns.
The helmet – which has a blue scratch-resistant visor – was specifically created for workers in industrial settings, such as oil rigs, water treatment plants and construction sites. It is intended to increase productivity, efficiency and safety, said the company.
"We've been working in the medium of augmented reality for the past four years, and what we found was, you just can't solve the most challenging problems with devices that were designed for consumers," said Brian Mullins, Daqri's founder and CEO. "We needed something that was designed specifically for industrial applications."
The headgear uses a combination of cameras and sensors to capture and record real-time information about the user's surroundings, from valve readings to thermal data. It can also show the wearer stored information like safety guidelines and worker instructions.
The device could be integrated with building information modelling (BIM) software. This could allow the display to show users the insides of structural elements, such as the interior of a pipe.
"Users are provided with unprecedented levels of information about the world around them for the most precise display and tracking possible," said the company on its website. "The most powerful augmented reality device on the market will change the nature of work."
"This idea has been in academia and research labs for a long time, but has never been built into a product until now," said Chris Broaddus, Daqri's vice president of research development.

Hero 'Spiderman' firefighter saves girl's life - Dramatic Rescue
'Spiderman' firefighter saves girl's life by scaling skyscraper and drop-kicking her from ledge back inside to safetyShe was reportedly threatening to jump and was unaware of the fireman's plan to save her. A girl's life was saved by a heroic spiderman-like firefighter who clung on to a skyscraper with a rope before throwing himself towards her. The girl was sat perched on a balcony railing perilously high above the ground, with her legs swinging over the edge.
She was reportedly threatening to jump and a man in a neighboring apartment was trying to keep the girl calm.
As she sat on the edge the girl was unaware of a fireman on the level above, who can be seen in video footage of the incident dressed in orange overalls.
He approached carefully from the flat above and began scaling down to the level below, while attached to a safety harness.
He then threw himself off the ledge and towards the girl - sending her back into the building and to safety.
In one rapid movement the fireman kicked the girl with two feet in the middle of her chest and she immediately fell back into the apartment.
People filming the heroic feat can be heard gasping at the moment she is pushed to safety.
The fireman also landed in the apartment after his heroic act, which was believed to have been filmed a few days ago in South Korea.
It is not known if the girl needed any medical treatment.

2 Seat Drone - Fly Inside Your Own Drone
Jet Capsule suggests two-seater drone as a sleek carbon body. Designed by pierpaolo lazzarini from italian company jet capsule, the I.F.O or ‘identified flying object’ is a proposed two seater drone/copter vehicle. the chassis, composed of a main central capsule cockpit, measures two meters in diameter and is surrounded by a carbon fiber disk with an overall dimension of 4.70 meters. Jet Capsule‘s I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120 mph. different energy resources are provided from various batteries located in the disk and with an additional battery pack placed at the center of the capsule body, the estimated flight autonomy ranges between sixty and seventy minutes. for a smooth landing, the vehicle has six folding and extending suspensions — which makes it possible to access the I.F.O through an elevator, generated from the lower sub-spherical body. otherwise, the capsule can be access by two removable bridges, available on any specific landing station.
Just as you would expect, the flying saucer stands on spindly extending legs, with built in suspension to soften landings. Eight rotors are planted in the carbon fiber disc that surrounds the spherical 6.5-foot cockpit in the center, which is accessed via a basket elevator that lowers from the bottom of the craft. In the case of an emergency, the pod can detach from the rest of the vehicle to deploy a parachute for a safe landing.
Lazzarini says that the curious vehicle “does not change much with respect to the technology that is at the base of a standard drone,” aside from being “driven from the inside.” He and Jet Capsule are seeking investors.
There is no word on how expensive having your own personal UFO will be. Still, the experience of scaring your neighbors with the threat of a close encounter? That’s priceless.

Army of Robots Sort 200,000 Packages a Day in China
THIS army of tiny orange robots which can sort up to 200,000 packages every DAY in a Chinese warehouse are providing an alarming glimpse of what the future could hold in factories around the world. These miniature machines, each just 7.5 inches, follow a set route and transport parcels from the assembly line to the departure gates where they are then dispatched.
These tiny machines can work non-stop for eight hours after being fully charged and have practically eliminated mistakes at the warehouse
The orange machines, each 7.5 inches (19cm) tall, began working at STO Express in November last year
In the STO Express building in Liny, Shandong Province, the 300 robots can get through 20,000 parcels every hour.
The self-charging workers have saved the company, which has 300,000 employees, a staggering 70 per cent of manpower.
They began operating in November last year at two of the company’s warehouses.
The robots can identify the destination of a parcel through a code scan – practically eliminating mistakes.
Once fully charged they can work eight hours flat out.

Treating Eye Floaters With A Laser - Everything You Need To Know and More!
http://www.thefloaterdoctor.com/ ...The Floater Doctor is James H. Johnson, M.D., a California licensed ophthalmologist (eye surgeon), an expert specializing in the non-surgical, YAG Laser treatment of bothersome vitreous eye floaters. If you have eye floaters (seen as dynamic, moving shadows in your vision) you owe it to yourself to read through this comprehensive website. It is the most extensive source of information regarding your options for relief from these annoying disturbances to your vision.
THE FLOATER IN THE EYE
Vitreous eye floaters are the moving shadows we see when there is thickening or condensation of the proteins in the vitreous fluid. They are typically age-related changes, but it can also occur in younger people. Even ‘benign’ eye floaters can significantly affect the quality of vision and quality of life.
THE FLOATER DOCTOR
Dr. James Johnson, M.D. is Medical Director of Vitreous Floater Solutions, Inc., a Southern California located ophthalmology specialty practice dedicated exclusively to the treatment of vitreous eye floaters since 2007. He is a pioneer in this subspecialty field of ophthalmology, and is known for treating the floaters that are described by others as “untreatable”.
THE FLOATER LASER
The YAG laser is common in ophthalmology practices and variants has been used for treating eye floaters for over 20 years. Not all laser brands and models are equal and many can not be used at all for this purpose. Dr. Johnson uses the Ellex Ultra-Q laser for treating eye floaters. It is FDA-approved for use in ophthalmology.
THE FLOATER TREATMENT OPTICS
Laser energy is focused to a very precise spot with the confirmation of two red focusing beams. Each laser burst is only 0.0000002 seconds, but vaporizes the collagen proteins making up the vitreous floater material.
THE FLOATER TREATMENT
This brief animation shows a large, dense floater being treated by Dr. Johnson. The red beams are for focusing, gas bubbles are created as floater material is destroyed. In this compressed time lapse, we clearly see the large, cream-colored floater being reduced in size.

Badger Burying A Whole Cow Caught On Film - First Time Ever Seen
Incredible moment a wild badger buries an entire COW carcass in a world first.This is the first time that this behavior has been recorded in American badgers. Badgers were known to bury small mammals but never something so big. The time lapse video shows the animals as it buried the cow over five days. Badgers bury their food to keep fresh for later meals - A badger has been filmed burying an entire cow carcass for the first time.
While badgers are known to bury other items, including food stashes, nobody knew that they would, or even could, bury an animal carcass four times their size.
The amazing footage was captured by researchers in the Grassy Mountains of Utah.
While studying scavenger behavior in Utah's Great Basin Desert, University of Utah biologists observed an American badger bury a cow carcass alone.
This is the first known instance of a badger burying an animal larger than itself.
The finding suggests that badgers may have no limit to the size of animal they can cache.
They may therefore play an important role in sequestering large carcasses, which could benefit cattle ranchers in the West.
'We know a lot about badgers morphologically and genetically, but behaviorally there's a lot of blank spaces that need to be filled,' says Ethan Frehner, lead author on the paper documenting the behavior.
'This is a substantial behavior that wasn't at all known about.'
The team didn't originally intend to study badgers.
In January 2016, co-author Evan Buechley set out seven calf carcasses in Utah's Grassy Mountains, west of Salt Lake City.
Each carcass was staked down and equipped with a camera trap to document what scavengers visited which carcasses.
Mr Buechley, who studies vultures and other avian scavengers, hoped to learn more about the ecology of scavengers in the Great Basin during the winter.
Mr Buechley went out to check on the carcasses after a week, and found that one was missing.
'When I first got there I was bummed because it's hard to get these carcasses, to haul them out and set them up,' he said. 'I thought "Oh, well we've lost one after a week."'
He searched around the area, thinking that perhaps a coyote or mountain lion had dragged the carcass away, but after finding nothing, returned to the site and realized the ground where the carcass had been was disturbed.
'Right on the spot I downloaded the photos,' he said. 'We didn't go out to study badgers specifically, but the badger declared itself to us.'
Little was previously known about badger behavior, Mr Frehner says.
'They're an enigmatic species. A substantial amount of their lifetime is spent either underground or a lot of nocturnal behavior, so it's hard to directly observe that.'
Camera traps, a relatively new tool for researchers, made it possible to observe more natural behaviors.
In the photos, Mr Buechley saw the badger dig around and beneath the carcass, which disappeared into the cavity created by the excavation.
'Watching badgers undertake this massive excavation around and underneath is impressive,' Mr Frehner says. 'It's a lot of excavation engineering they put into accomplishing this.'
Camera trap records show that the badger completely buried the roughly 50-pound (23kg) carcass over the course of five days.
He then spent around two weeks in his underground burrow before leaving and intermittently returning to the burrow for the next few weeks until early March.
According to the researchers, badgers cache food to isolate it from other scavengers and to keep it in an environment where it will last longer.
'Like putting it in the fridge,' Buechley says.
Senior author, Tara Christensen, assembled a time-lapse video of the burial, which shows the badger sitting contently atop the burrow.
Mr Buechley says: 'Not to anthropomorphize too much, but he looks like a really really happy badger, rolling in the dirt and living the high life.'
Another badger, at another site in the same study, also attempted to bury a calf carcass, suggesting that the behavior is likely widespread for badgers.
'A large dead ungulate can provide a ton of resources. So far on the carcasses we've put out, we've had turkey vultures, golden eagles, many ravens, bobcats, kit fox and coyote, so there's a lot of animals that could be using this resource, and the badger just monopolies it.'
The badger could also provide an ecological service to ranchers.
But if badgers can bury a calf, they may bury other carrion before any diseases incubating in the carcass can infect other cows.Keeping large predators away is a big deal for a lot of ranchers. You could argue that if the carcasses are being buried, they're not going to be attracting large predators.'

House Built by 3D Printer in 24 Hours for only $10,000
Apis Cotr, 3D printing specialists based in Russia and San Francisco, say the walls of the building were printed and painted in just 24 hours. 3D printing a home usually involves creating the parts off-site and constructing the building later, however, Apis Cotr uses a mobile printer to print their apartments on-site.
“Printing of self-bearing walls, partitions and building envelope were done in less than a day: pure machine time of printing amounted to 24 hours,” the company said.
Once the house has been completed, the printer is removed with a crane-manipulator and presumably the roof is then added, followed by the interior fixtures and fittings.
Nikita Chen-yun-tai, the inventor of the mobile printer and founder of Apis Cor, explained his desire is “to automate everything”.
“When I first thought about creating my machine the world has already knew about the construction 3D printing,” he explained
“But all printers created before shared one thing in common – they were portal type. I am sure that such a design doesn’t have a future due to its bulkiness. So I took care of this limitation and decided to upgrade a construction crane design.”
He adds: “We want to help people around the world to improve their living conditions. That’s why the construction process needs to become fast, efficient and high-quality as well. For this to happen we need to delegate all the hard work to smart machines.”
The house can last up to 175 years and cost just $10,134 to build, the company added.
This on-site house 3D printed in Russia offers a glimpse into what the future of construction might look like.

NASA Identifies 13th Sign of the Zodiac ~ Astrology Signs Shifted ~ Horoscope Chaos
Your life is a lie: The zodiac has changed — here's your (new?) sign. This news may be especially hard to hear for Libras, who crave balance and order. Or Leos, whose sense of self is strong. Geminis, both sides of you may be rocked. Are you sitting down? Good. Because the zodiac has changed. What you long believed was your astrological sign may not be your astrological sign. And, a bunch of us now have wack tattoos.
The dates for the Western zodiac calendar have, it turns out, shifted, with each one starting later — like, a lot later. If you were a Capricorn born in early to mid-January, you're now a Sagittarius.
Cancers born in early to mid-July? Stop being such emotional cry-babies. You're actually Geminis. Oh, and there's a new 13th astrological sign now: Ophiuchus. Sounds like a "Matrix" character, we know. But those of you born between Nov. 29 to Dec. 17, you're all now Ophiuchus-es.
NASA broke the news early this year in a blog post that explained that when ancient Babylonians created the zodiac over 3,000 years ago, they wanted dates on the calendar to correspond with star constellations. But, there were 13 constellations, and they were working with a 12-month calendar. So they ditched Ophiuchus.
NASA also pointed out that the Earth's axis doesn't even point in the same direction as it did when the original constellations were drawn, so all our signs have different date ranges now anyway.
In other words: astrological chaos. And the science nerds at NASA don't even care that they've upended our lives. They released a statement last week explaining, "Here at NASA, we study astronomy, not astrology. We didn’t change any zodiac signs, we just did the math.”
