Draganfly Tango - Ariel video & High Resolution Photographs

How do you get professional quality aerial video and pictures in remote, hazardous, or urban areas where full size aircraft are not practical? The Draganfly (DF) Tango, a new, easy to operate unmanned aerial vehicle could be the perfect answer. read more...

The Draganfly Tango is the most recent airplane released by Draganfly Innovations Inc. The Draganfly Tango is designed as an effective solution for hard to get aerial images. This fully customizable aircraft comes as a complete turn key package that can be safely operated by one person.

A complete DF Tango package comprises of:
• the Tango airframe,
• the bungee launching system, and
• all of the flight systems.

Tandem Wings:
The unique tandem wing design of the Draganfly Tango not only looks impressive but greatly adds to the performance of the vehicle. By using a patented tandem wing configuration the Draganfly Tango is able to perform exceptionally well at low speeds and has very mild stall characteristics. Rather than violently spinning like a conventional plane, if the Draganfly Tango is stalled the nose will gently drop and the plane will "self correct" once it has gained enough airspeed.


Only 3 Minutes to Launch:
Launching the plane is a simple task as it is done with an included bungee launching system which can be assembled in about 3 minutes.

Blogosphere – And You …..

There are all sorts of reasons and all sorts of bloggers. read more...

Do you think about blogs? What comes to mind? It is an online diary, an extension of one’s professional work or just a space on the World Wide Web. There are all sorts of reasons and all sorts of bloggers.

However, blogging is a passion. A blog becomes an extension of your personality with some waking up in the middle of the night to jot down a note for the next day’s post. Bloggers were already a thriving community and they managed to push the blogosphere to the edge.

There are no confirmed and updated figures with regard to the number of blogs in the blogosphere. Like most initial efforts at diary writing, blogs too are abandoned as quickly as they are created. And, as this chapter advocates, many sign up to blogs because they would like to try out the features of the platform first hand before committing to it. Any figure put up will be wrong if any active blogs were to be considered – of course, defining an “active” blog is a subjective matter again.

The most recent available statistics state “The blogosphere doubling in size every 6 months. It is now over 60 times bigger than it was 3 years ago. On average, a new weblog is created every second of every day”, and a blog search engine claims to index 5.5 crore blogs... read summary...

Keeps it Ticking!

Are you one of those who have to set a reminder on her cell for every little thing? If you are, then it’s time to give your brain a bit of a boost! read more...

Here’s a quick test: What did you have for dinner last night? What did you wear to work yesterday? Which class is very interesting yesterday? What you talk with your girl friend? If you took more than five minutes to answer these questions, it’s time you started paying a little attention to your humble brain that’s always in overdrive.

SHOO AWAY STRESS

Nothing bogs down your brain as much as stress. A McGill research suggests that impaired memory has more to do with stress. In fact, chronic stress leads to depression. So, make sure that you don’t let anything negative dominate you. Take time out for yourself from work. Practice deep breathing and yoga. Meet old friends. Indulge in activities that make you happy. Stop worrying too much!

THE BRAIN WORKOUT

Keeping the brain active also increases its strength. Psychiatrist Dr.Sanjay Chugh says, “Solving crosswords and mind puzzles like Sudoku act like stimulants for your brain and can do wonders to enhance your mental ability.” If puzzles aren’t your cup of tea, try books.

FEED YOUR MIND

Since your brain is always on, it’s time to give it a special treat. After all, it also deserves the right balance of nutrients. Reduce your intake of foods high in fats and cholesterol. Vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and beet and fruits, like plums strawberries, oranges and grapes are good brain foods.

DON’T WEIGH ME DOWN

Obesity is a silent killer. We all know that. But did you know that excess weight can also cause brain drain? A study conducted at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm confirms that those who are obese are twice as likely to suffer from impaired memory in later life. Eat well (but moderation) and keep a tab on the diet balance. Make your workout your religion – walk, skip, cycle, swim, ride, dance, jog! And, perhaps most grey cells tick – tock – ticking away….. read summary...

Fearful Looks Get Brain’s Attention Fast

Smiles may take a while, but a horrified expression in a sure-fine attention getter, US researchers said recently based on a study of how fast people process facial expressions. The fearful facial expressions make a beeline to the alarm center of the brain known as the amygadla, cuing humans to potential threats.
We think what is happening with fear is that this is a critical threat signal for us. Fear tells you something is wrong and you need to attention. To find out which images get the brain’s attention first, the nesearmens, used a technique called visual flash suppression that slow down the brain’s response to facial expressions-which typically register in less than 40 milliseconds.
The researchers had people look into a special viewer that allowed each eye to see different images at the same time. It you present different images to the two eyes, usually you will only perceive one of them at a time. The image that registers with the brain typically depends on which eye in dominant for that person.
But if one of the eyes in presented by a dynamic, changing stimulus, it will basically suppress perception from the other eyes, Using this approach, the researchers showed, people a static image of a face in one eye and a series of rapidly presented, random images in another creating a type of visual.
