Semi autonomous homes w/ defense systems

Do you feel that you’re lacking a connection with your environment?

Would you like to live in a house where you are in control of the services?

This article is a case study of a couple who created an autonomous house. We find out why they did it and how different it is to live this way.

Autonomous Means Possessing a Large Degree of Self-Governance

Mike Coe and Lizzie Stoodley built themselves an autonomous house in Cropthorne, Worcestershire. Although being autonomous might imply no connection to the outside world, in their case this is not strictly true because they are linked to the grid (albeit to export more electricity than they use!).

If they were completely self-sufficient and off-grid in all respects they would have an autarkic house, but autonomous is a better description of their home. They have no gas supply, they derive their water from harvested rain and they deal with their own human waste.

Architects Brenda and Robert Vale Inspired Them

The initial seed of an idea came in the 1990s, before they had any plans to build a house. Mike was an ITV News cameraman and he was sent to Southwell, Nottinghamshire, on an assignment to do a story on a new kind of house.

Mike describes his visit: “Nobody had the faintest idea what it was. Only when I got there did I realise that it was fascinating. We did an interview with Robert Vale and he showed us around and I thought this is a really interesting project.”

The feature was never shown on ITV because another story broke, but Mike’s journey was not in vain. He had been inspired.

Many years later Mike and Lizzie were considering a long-term plan to leave London and live somewhere less hectic, when they returned to the idea of an autonomous house.

Increasingly concerned about what the human race was doing to the environment and with a strong desire to take action somehow, the ideas came together in their ultra low energy house. It would be based on the house at Southwell but would try to take everything to the next level, with improved materials and greater experience, etc. As this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity they wanted to do this properly and take the ideas as far as was sensible.

*Sys Nica is not attempting to convert homes to "full" autonomy in fact, we're against full autonomy.

 Our goal is to employ "fuzzy logic" as well as other software programs and interfaces to give the customer specific controls of a home.

 We don't believe alarm systems that "notify" law enforcement / comm centers and fire departments are adequate.

 Sys Nica endeavors to arm homes with non lethal and or lethal "defense systems" backed by multiple fail safes.

 Proximity badges, retinal scanners, palm readers, motion detectors, weight sensors, etc. that have to be duplicated to engage and or disengage the systems.

 Non Lethal Weapons: http://reillytop10.com/previous-lists/2015-list/non-lethal-weapons/

*No one that I know is going to need a full scale defense system such as the one I'm developing yet I am not my customer.

 The goal is to provide options that can be specialized to fit everyone's needs that fit their specific purpose.

 The first prototypes have been created, tested and are very effective.

 The finished products will go on sale very shortly "minus" the weapons, be that lethal or non lethal. The customers will describe the make and model of their choice of defensive device  and the custom fitting will be created.

 *Weight of the devices is limited to 3 pounds presently keeping the models below $1500

 I'm creating videos yet for obvious reasons, they will not be uploaded to public forums.

 I will keep those who have expressed interest within the loop.

Drone Regulations: What You Need to Know

*This doesn't seem to apply to my indoor drones and my outdoor units will never be registered to me. Yet this does present a small task to be accomplished.

You bought a drone. And you're probably chomping at the bit to get the battery charged and take it out for the first test flight. But before you do, you need to be aware of the rules and regulations that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has put in place for flying drones in the U.S. And you should also be aware of your rights and the rights of those around you.

Registration
The first thing a new drone owner needs to do is to register it with the government. If that sound a bit Big Brotherish, it is. But after a swath of crashesand violations of the basic rules of the air that were trumpeted on the nightly news and blogosphere, the FAA instituted the registration system.

Registration costs $5, but you can avoid that fee if you register before Jan. 21, 2016. There is a grace period, but if you're caught flying a drone that's unregistered, civil penalties of up to $27,500 may be assessed (although you'll have until Feb. 19 before they can be assessed).

Aircraft lighter than 0.5 pounds are exempt, although remote-controlled aircraft that light generally aren't drones—they tend to lack GPS stabilization and automated flight features. The FAA has published a guide as to what common models weigh. But even small, low-altitude models like the Parrot Bebop£329.99 at Amazon require registration. Online registration can be used for any drone that a consumer is likely to buy, but if you own an unmamnned aircraft that's heavier than 55 pounds you'll need to fill out a paper form.

Once registered you'll receive a unique identification number. It can be used for all the aircraft you own—so even if you have a fleet at your disposal you're only out five bucks—and is valid for three years. Each of your aircraft must be physically marked with the number. The FAA says that placing an identifcation sticker on the removable battery is acceptable, but you could also use a sharpie to write on the hull. For more information, refer to the FAA FAQs on the subject.

The BasicsThe FAA refers to drones by the more proper term, Unmanned Aircraft Systems. It outlines its policies for use in the U.S. in detail—you should read the entire document before flying, but pay special attention to the section on Model Aircraft, the category under which drones fall.

The basic rules are:

• Fly below 400 feet and remain clear of surrounding obstacles
• Keep the aircraft within visual line of sight at all times
• Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations
• Don't fly within 5 miles of an airport unless you contact the airport and control tower before flying
• Don't fly near people or stadiums
• Don't fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 pounds
• Don't be careless or reckless with your unmanned aircraft; you could be fined for endangering people or other aircraft

A lot of these are simply common sense. And that's something you need to use when flying. In addition to the FAA rules, remember that National Parks havebanned the use of drones within their confines. It's a shame, because aerial footage of beautiful locations like Yellowstone and Yosemite is a compelling reason to own a drone, but on the other hand some places should be free of technological distractions. The airspace around Washington D.C. is also restricted. The FAA is currently working on a smartphone app, cutely titled B4UFLY, for iOS and Android devices. Once available it will let you know if there are any restrictions in place in the area in which you wish to fly.

One thing you should remember is that all of these rules are for noncommercial use. If you're using a drone as a realtor, wedding videographer, or similar for-profit purposes, you'll need to apply for an exemption under Section 333.

Dealing With ConflictIf you fly your drone in public there's a chance that, eventually, you're going to run into some sort of conflict with another human. Some people think that it's totally acceptable to shoot a drone out of the air with a gun. So what do you do if someone takes exception to your flying a drone around them?

Well, if they decide to use your quadcopter for target practice, or otherwise damage it, the first order of business is to call the police. But it's best to defuse the situation before it gets to that. So, in the immortal words of Patrick Swayze, be nice. Have a conversation about what you're doing. Maybe even show the person the video feed from the drone camera that's streaming to your phone or tablet. Some folks are under the impression that a drone flying 100 feet in the air is spying on them—show them just how wide-angle the video is from that altitude.

Of course, not everyone you meet is reasonable. In those cases, you should be aware of where you're standing. As with photography, it has a lot to do with your rights to fly. If you're on your own property, or public property, you are completely within your rights. But if you're on private property, the situation isn't in your favor. A property owner (or representative of one, like a security guard) can ask you to land your drone and leave the premises. If that's the situation, you should comply. If they demand your memory card or attempt to detain you, however, that's another ball of wax. Print out and carry a copy of The Photographer's Rightwith you—it's a helpful resource to have whenever you're capturing images or video.

Don't Be StupidFlying a quadcopter is a lot of fun, and it gives you opportunity to capture images and video that you wouldn't get from ground level. Following the FAA rules and defusing conflict with others will go a long way to making it a more enjoyable (and legal) experience. Common sense dictates that you should avoid flying your copter over crowded spaces—leave the aerial shots of the US Open and Super Bowl to the Goodyear Blimp people.

Choosing the right time of day to fly can also help to minimize interaction with other people, and to improve the quality of your video footage. If you fly right after sunrise—magic hour—you'll find that landscapes are bathed in golden light and look much better than they would in the harsh light of midday. It requires you to get up early in the morning and get to a location around dawn, but the results will be worth it, and most of the world will still be asleep.

If you know and follow the rules, use a little bit of common sense, and know how to deal with conflict when it arises you'll certainly get a lot of enjoyment from your drone.

*Nice advice "if" you're in America.

*I began playing with RC vehicles too many years ago to remember. More recently we have all witnessed the large drones used by the US military in various parts of the world.
 At some point in time, drones will become personalized and used by individuals world wide.
The applications that can be employed at present for a few hundred dollars is staggering.

 I recently purchased two RV helicopters, destroying the first right out of the box and the second one is waiting for a part that I designed after observing an engineering flaw.

 No, I won't tell you that flaw or it's simple remedy.

 I took the time to hand make a prototype replacement part for the first flaw and it was a success.

 Rigging a GoPro camera to a servo is simple.

*The PTZ unit from a surveillance cam would do nicely.

 The next conflict was the "kick back" of firing a weapon from the small scale RC.

 The RC will have to have an immediate sliding counter weight wired directly in to the controllers remote. Waiting for the response if wired in to the vehicle will simply be too slow and too late.

 There is the tilting of the rotor blades themselves as a munition is fired to assist in this offset.

 The challenge for this project is size and weight.

 Arming this drone.

 It doesn't take a large servo to actuate the trigger of a gun yet observance to size and weight comes into play.

 Now, I'd like you to imagine having the ability to roam through your home via a camera yet not from mounted points. Think of actually being able to "roam" through every inch, nook and cranny of your home via an IP address while you were in another state or country.

 The technology to roam your home from other locations via a GoPro is here, it's been here.

 The hardware is here, the software is beyond here. All that remains is to complete a finished product where permissible by law.

 I have read about, "Cambodian business etiquette" as well as some of the laws. The next steps that I'll take should be obvious.

 I have purchased a third RC helicopter knowing full well that I'll have to switch over to the more stable 4 rotor blade models.

 For the moment, it's simply to gather all the components for a combined weight. This will dictate the size / stregnth of the carrier RC unit.

 I've probably said too much as it is, I'll close for now and say, "Good night".

*No weapon is a weapon without the firing pin. Without the firing pin, what would be considered a gun is only a replica.

*This simply went from thought to interface, please excuse any grammatical errors.

Do You Have an Inferiority Complex?

How to spot and overcome an inferiority complex

"While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, another is busy making mistakes and becoming superior." ~ Henry C. Link

Most of us compare ourselves to others. Mass media beams in the finest looking, richest, and most talented people into our lives 24/7. This creates the illusion that we 'know' all these beautiful, clever, younger, athletic, rich, able people. Because we compare ourselves to people we know, this illusion of knowing air-brushed 'have-it-alls' can make us feel correspondingly worse about ourselves.

Eleanor Roosevelt: Making me feel bad about myself

The trouble is, we may compare ourselves unfavourably. Yes, I know Eleanor Roosevelt (bless her) suggested that no one can make us feel inferior unless we allow them to, but...oh, great! Now I feel inferior and it's my fault because I'm allowing it to happen. But seriously, Eleanor did have a point - feeling inferior is different from knowing you're inferior.

...What?

Superior inferiority

Check out the How to Boost Self-Esteem article for general tips on making you feel better about being you. Here I want to talk specifically about how we feel compared to other people.

An inferiority complex is a general feeling of not being 'up to the mark'. Now, I want to distinguish between knowing and feeling. I know I am inferior to Bill Gates financially, to Stephen Hawking intellectually, to millions of men aesthetically; but this knowledge doesn't bother me one iota. Knowing you're inferior in some ways is very different from feeling inferior.

Knowledge that you might sometimes compare unfavourably to others may just be insight and perception. It's crazy to try to pretend that we are all as good as each other in all ways. (The 'self-esteem industry' has been guilty of this ridiculous artifice.)

An inferiority complex is not the same as confidently accepting that others have the edge on you in some areas. True destructive feelings of inferiority happen even when we might (objectively) be better than others but feel somehow worse. For example, I worked with a man who got the best degree in his class at Cambridge University, yet still felt academically inferior to his fellow students. The way he felt about himself was a total misrepresentation of the reality. Why do people suffer from inferiority complex?

Anatomy of the inferiority complex

Confidently knowing that Usain Bolt can run faster than you can is not the same as feeling inferior. True inferiority complex has us feeling:

• We should be as good as others.
• We are not as good as others, but we don't really know why that is; a generalized feeling of inadequacy not based on rational judgements.

In a world in which we are on the one hand encouraged to buy stuff because we're "worth it" whilst simultaneously being force-fed airbrushed perfection, it's easy for someone with a pre-existing inferiority complex to feel worse.

It might be you were repeatedly told you weren't good enough by a parent (one woman I know was repeatedly told by her mother she was the "ugliest girl in the street" and no one liked her). Some people were constantly compared to other people: "Why can't you be more like your sister!" Other people feel inferior because they are perfectionists and feel that anything less than perfection is inadequate.

Whatever the reasons for inferiority complex, here are a few ideas to help.

1) Get specific

As I said, we can know we're inferior in some ways. If you find yourself feeling inferior, ask yourself: "Okay, exactly who do I feel inferior to?" Narrow it down.

Emotional thinking is always sloppy, so tighten it up to make it less emotional. There are close to seven billion people on this planet (last time I counted). What kind of person do you feel inferior to? Rich people? Good looking people? Very academic people? People you view as accomplished? Most people aren't these things.

Now get even more specific; name names to yourself. "Actually, I feel inferior to Bob down the street." Why? How, specifically, is Bob better than you?

So from 'feeling inferior' we've gone to 'feeling inferior to specific types' to 'feeling inferior to Bob down the street'. Now ask yourself in what ways Bob isn't superior to you. Does he have your humility? Wit? Life experience? If we are too narrow with what constitutes 'good' or 'successful', then we're more likely to come off feeling worse. Believe me, 'Bob' has issues of his own.

2) Drop the mime

No one has written on his tombstone: "Here lies Ralph; he was quite like Bob." All Ralph can be is Ralph (or the best possible version of himself); he ain't ever gonna be Bob. Wanting to be someone else is okay(ish) when you're fifteen. But how can an impersonator ever be true to themselves? Being inspired by someone else means assimilating some of their traits into who you are. It doesn't mean trying to have their exact same life.

Inferiority complexes thrive on people wanting to be someone they're not. This doesn't mean we have to limit ourselves as to what we can do, but it does mean that we can get by much better when we don't try to be someone else.

3) Dare to be different

Life is much less restrictive now in westernized counties. In the '50s, you were expected to be married (perhaps in your early twenties); to have kids and a 'respectable career' (grave robbers need not apply); to have short hair or longer hair, depending on gender; to dress 'properly' and have all the right opinions. We haven't cast aside all these norms and I'm not suggesting they are all bad, but people are much freer now to live a bit differently.

No one is a 'failure' if they are unmarried at forty (or eighty), or if they don't have kids or a traditionally professional career. Not in terms of current societal norms; though your parents may still have these retrospective expectations which may have influenced you. But the kind of thinking that prompts: "Oh no! I'm forty-five now. I should have a mortgage, a partner, 2.4 children! I should be like how other people are!" is a trap. If you really want these things, that's one thing; but if you only feel they are expected of you, then remember that your life can only really be lived by you.
