Ugotavljamo, kakšna bo mobilnost prihodnosti. Na živahni start-up sceni podjetja razmišljajo tudi o tem, kako se bomo premikali v prihodnje in pri tem precej premikajo meje mogočega. Lani so se kar štirje berlinski start-upi uvrstili med 50 najboljših v tekmovanju za evropsko nagrado za mobilnost. Spoznali boste eno od njih, podjetje Theo ter bolj zrelo podjetje Ebee. Oddaja je nastala s finančno pomočjo Evropske komisije v projektu Misija - mlada kohezija. Za vsebino je odgovorno uredništvo in ne odraža nujno stališč Unije.

In this episode I am talking to Joost Boeles - A Dutchie turned start-up founder in Kenya. When I got introduced to Joost, I struggled a bit with the question of how does his business makes sense? Joost has co-founded the first e-Bike assembler in East Africa and sells them to businesses and individuals via subscription. So, Joost got told by a lot of people that this would not work - but he had a sense that it could work. His goal is to have 100,000 e-Bicycles or eBees as he calls them on African roads by 2030. We obviously talked about what got him into this adventure - or what he called “spreading his wings” but also about how much positive impact there actually is to e-Bicycles in Kenya. After all, you could argue that there are bigger issues than bringing electric bicycles to the streets. Later on, I challenge Joost a bit on what he thinks about European entrepreneurs in Africa, how Africa can achieve the miracle of sustainable development without using too many resources and lastly, what Europeans and Africans can learn from each other.

In questa puntata torna a trovarmi Flavio Angoli.Flavio è pilota ed istruttore di APR.Ha una flotta di droni tra cui un'ala fissa che ha usato in un lavoro che abbiamo fatto insieme, nel Giugno 2019, ed ha riguardato il rilievo 3D di una montagna in Valle Gesso, Provincia di Cuneo, per studiare le valanghe.In questo episodio parliamo dei droni ad ala fissa, delle loro caratteristiche, delle novità (VTOL), delle possibilità di un volo BVLOS ed anche un po' delle modifiche normative al regolamento ENAC.Qui c'è il riferimento online di Zenith Aerial Solutions: https://zenithaerialsolutions.com/Qui c'è l'articolo del blog di 3DMetrica dove racconto del rilievo fatto insieme a Flavio: https://3dmetrica.it/rilievo-fotogrammetrico-valanga/Grazie Flavio per esserti prestato a registrare anche la parte video, che aggiunge qualcosa in più perchi segue il podcast di 3DMetrica su YouTube.Qui puoi vedere il video con le nostre facce: https://youtu.be/TIg31vrCgNwSe hai una storia o un'esperienza da raccontare, o se vuoi segnalarmi qualcuno da contattare, puoi scrivermi su Telegram: t.me/paolocorradeghiniSe ti va, puoi iscriverti al canale Telegram di 3DMetrica: t.me/tredimetricaE se pensi che quello che condivido ha un valore per puoi scegliere di supportarmi e diventare un finanziatore di 3DMetrica: www.3dmetrica.it/supportaIn questa puntata ho inserito queste musiche:"V" by Weary Eyes from Fugue;"Once the clouds lift" by Weary Eyes from Fugue;"Your battles are over" by Weary Eyes from Fugue.

The purpose of this activity is to explore another way to interact with the Our Father using questions and answers (ajuju na aziza). This is helpful too as conversation practice, because most times when we converse with other people, it’s in the form of asking and answering questions. So this will give extra practice with the question phrases we learned in Season I. Overview of Questions: Onye bụ...(identify a person, noun comes after this phrase) Gịnị bụ… (what is, but a noun comes after this phrase) Gịnị ka… (what is, but action comes after this phrase) Ebee ka… (where is) Kedu ka… (how is..., or how are…) Gịnị ọzọ… (what again…) Kedu mgbe/ kedu oge… (when, what time…) Exercise 1. Onye bụ Chineke? Ọ bụ nna anyị. 2. Ebee ka ọ nọ? Ọ nọ n’eluigwe. 3. Gịnị ka anyị ga-agwa ya? Nna anyị nọ n’eluigwe, Ka otito dịrị aha gị, Ka ochịchị gị bịa, Ka eme uche gị n’ụwa. 4.

von Jürgen Vagt 04.03.20 Herr Dr. Henning Heppner war heute zu Gast bei den Zukunftsmobilisten und in 10 Jahren hat er schon zwei Unternehmen in der Zukunftsmobilität gegründet. 2010 hat Siemens verlassen und hat sein erstes Unternehmen gegründet. Ebee hat einen Controller für das Laden von Elektroautos gebaut und 2018 haben die Gründer das Unternehmen verlassen und die Anteile verkauft. Start up Unternehmen haben die Etablierung der Elektromobilität getrieben und werden auch weiter tun, in der ersten Hälfte der 2010 er Jahre haben Hardware Startups das Geschehen dominiert. In den Jahren 2018 und 2019 waren es eher Softwareunternehmen, die viel Beachtung genossen haben. Insbesondere das Thema Wasserstoff verspricht noch einige unternehmerischen Chancen, wohingegen das batterie-elektrische Thema ausreichend mit jungen Hardware-Unternehmen besetzt ist. Wasserstoff bei Bussen Mit dieser Absatzüberschrift kann man das neue Unternehmen Elo-Mobility beschreiben. Wie kommt die Wasserstofftechnologie mit der dazugehörigen Brennstoffzelle in den profanen Stadtbus? Schon 2025 erwartet Dr. Henning Heppner eine Kostenparität zwischen den konventionellen Dieselbussen und der Wasserstofftechnologie und dann wird es für Verkehrsunternehmen betriebswirtschaftlich sinnvoll, wenn man Wasserstoffbusse einsetzt. Aber einen Siegeszug des Wasserstoffantriebs bei Personenkraftwagen erwartet Dr. Henning Heppner nicht, in den nächsten 10 Jahren wird sich der Wasserstoffantrieb auf große Busse und Lkws konzentrieren. Aufgrund der Nutzung von Stadtbussen hat diese Technologie unschlagbare Vorteile, weil bei batterie-elektrischen Antrieben das Verhältnis zwischen Fahrzeuggröße und Batteriegröße zu ungünstig ist. Zudem ist die Reichweite der batterie-elektrischen immer noch zu schlecht, sodass der Busbetreiber zwei oder drei batterie-elektrische Busse einsetzen müsste, um einen dieselbetriebenen Bus zu ersetzen. Daher hat die Wasserstofftechnologie zentrale Vorteile bei Bussen und wird sich laut Dr. Henning Heppner durchsetzen. Am Ende des Interviews dreht sich das Gespräch, um die Internationalisierung der Elektromobilität. In Indien und Teilen Afrika gibt es spannende Konzepte, so könnte man das Tuk-Tuk in Indien mit einem batterie-elektrischen Antrieb versehen kann und diese Möglichkeiten gibt es häufiger in Schwellennationen. Auch das Thema Wasserstoff ist interessant, weil der Ökostrom gerade in Indien günstiger wird, so dass der kalkulierende Busbetreiber auch in Indien auf den elektrischen Antrieb umsteigen will.

In questo episodio faccio alcune considerazioni "a caldo" e subito dopo essere rientrato da un rilievo aerofotogrammetrico in cui ho scelto di usare un drone ad ala fissa per scattare le foto da elaborare.L'area del rilievo era grande e le caratteristiche principali di un "aereo" me l'hanno fatto preferire ad un "multicottero".Ci sono molte differenze tra l'uso di un multirotore rispetto ad un'ala fissa (o "tutt'ala" o "ala planante") nel rilievo aerofotogrammetrico:- gli spazi di manovra;- le velocità di crociera;- la presa fotografica;- l'autonomia di volo;...Te ne parlo in questa puntata condividendo le mie impressioni dal campo.Iscriviti al canale telegram di 3DMetrica: t.me/tredimetricaLeggi gli articoli ed iscriviti alla newslettere sul blog: www.3dmetrica.itDiventa un finanziatore e sostieni economicamente 3DMetrica su Patreon: www.patreon.com/3dmetricaIn questa puntata ho inserito queste musiche:"V" by Weary Eyes from Fugue;"Once the clouds lift" by Weary Eyes from Fugue;"Your battles are over" by Weary Eyes from Fugue.

In this episode we explore, "Ịnọ" the "to be" verb which means being at a place for both living and non living items. (Note there are examples where ịdị can also be the "to be" verb used to describe "to be at a place" for inanimate objects. This concept is not explored in this episode however.) We then explore common vocabulary words for names of places in Igbo. Exercise 1: Try listening and coming up with the sentences before reading below. I am home - A nọ m n’ụlọ She is at school- Ọ nọ n’ụlọ akwụkwọ We are at work Anyị nọ n’ọrụ (ụlọ ọrụ) You (singular) are at church - Ị nọ n’ụka (ụlọ ụka ) They are here Ha nọ ebe a Where are you? Ebee ka ị nọ?/ Ị nọ ebee? I am on the road” A nọ m n’ụzọ “I am coming” M na-abịa ( A na m abịa) Victor: Perfect, so just to recap the vocabulary we just learned. To say Home - Ụlọ School- Ụlọ akwụkwọ Work- Ụlọ ọlụ (ọrụ) Church- Ụlọ Ụka (Ụka) Here- Ebe a (this location) Ụzọ - Road (can also be used in many less literal ways) Exercise 2 She is upstairs (above) - Ọ nọ n’elu He is downstairs (below) Ọ nọ n’ala It is in front Ọ nọ n’ịhụ Stay in the front (at the head) Nọ n’ịhụ They are outside Ha nọ n’ It is at the side of you Ọ nọ n’akụkụ We are behind you- Anyi nọ na-azụ Recap the vocabulary Up (used to indicate Upstairs) Elu (Enu) Down (used to indicate downstairs) Ala In front/at the head- N’ịhụ Outside - N'Ezi The side- N'Akụkụ Behind- Azụ Exercise 3: Ịbụ vs Ịdị vs Ịnọ Translate the english sentence into the correct igbo phrase using the correct "to be" verb. Where are you? Ebee ka ị nọ? I am tall- A dị m ogologo I am a wealthy person- A bụ m ọgaranya Stay one place- Nọ ofu ebe Other phrases Sit -nọdụ Sit down - nọdu ala Stay!-Nọ Stay still (be easy)- Nọ nwayọ Music: Zoro ft Flavour - Ogene (Instrumental) Produced by KexyKlef x Majorbangz --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/igbopodcast/support

In this Episode, we put our question words into action by role playing two scenarios. This is a good exercise to help with comprehension as well as working on pronunciation and command of the Igbo question words. Uchenna :So Ifunanya, here’s the scenario: let’s say, we’re siblings living in the same house. I have some juicy gossip to tell you, and I knock on your door. Our conversation may sound like this: I knock and you may say: “Onye no n’uzo?” which means “Who is at the door?” and I may reply “O bu m, Uchenna” which means “It is me, Uchenna.” You may then ask “Gini ka i choro?” What do you want?” And I may say “Achoro m ikwuru gi okwu” “I want to talk to you.” Now let’s act it out. Exercise 1 Role play: Uchenna: *kwai kwai kwai* Ifunanya: Onye nọ n’ụzọ? Uchenna: Ọ bu m, Uchenna. Ifunanya: Gini ka i chọrọ? Uchenna: Achoro m ikwuru gi okwu. Uchenna: Now let’s switch roles. Ifunanya: *kwai kwai kwai* Uchenna: Onye nọ n'ụzọ? Ifunanya: Ọ bu m, Ifunanya. Uchenna: Gini ka i chọrọ? Ifunanya: Achoro m ikwuru gi okwu. Uchenna: Well done. I na-agbali. You’re putting in a great effort. Now let’s say we’re friends who have not seen each other in a while. I visit your home unexpectedly and you are surprised to see me. After I knock and tell you who I am, you may excitedly ask “Kedu mgbe i batara?”...”When did you get in?” And I may reply “Abatara m unyaahu”...”I came in yesterday.” And you may say “Ebee ka i si bata?”...”From where did you come?” And I may reply “Esi m Nigeria”...”I came from Nigeria.” And you may say “Maka gini ka i biara?”...”Why did you come?” And I may reply “Abiara m maka ezumike”...”I came for a vacation.” You may then say “Kedu otu i di? Biko bata nwere mmanya, nke olee ka i choro?”...”How are you? Please come in and take a drink. Which one do you want?” And I may say “Adi m mma, daalu. Achoro m mmiri”...”I’m fine, thank you. I want water.” Now let’s act it out. Role play: Uchenna: *kwai kwai kwai* Ifunanya: Onye nọ n'ụzọ? Uchenna: O bu m, Uchenna. Ifunanya: Ewooooo, kedu mgbe i batara? Uchenna: Abatara m ụnyaahụ Ifunanya: Ebee ka i si bata? Uchenna: Esi m Nigeria. Ifunanya: Maka gini ka i bịara? Uchenna: Abịara m maka ezumike. Ifunanya: Kedu otu i di? Biko bata were mmanya, nke olee ka i chọrọ? Uchenna: Adi m mma, daalu. Achọrọ m mmiri Uchenna: Now let’s switch roles again. Ifunanya: *kwai kwai kwai* Uchenna: Onye nọ n'ụzọ? Ifunanya: O bu m, Ifunanya. Uchenna: Ewooooo, kedu mgbe i batara? Ifunanya: Abatara m ụnyaahụ. Uchenna: Ebee ka i si bata? Ifunanya: Esi m Nigeria. Uchenna: Maka gini ka i bịara? Ifunanya: Abịara m maka ezumike” Uchenna: Kedu otu i di? Biko bata were mmanya, nke olee ka i chọrọ? Ifunanya: Adi m mma, daalu. Achọrọ m mmiri Recap Question Words Question Words Who?...Onye? What?...Gini? When?...Mgbe olee? Where?...Ebee? Ebe olee? Why?...Maka gini? How?...Otu olee? Or Olee Otu Which?...Nke olee? (Note: "Otu olee" can be used when just simply asking "how?" While "Ole otu" is the start of a sentence beginning with "how" and followed by other words. Kedu in combination with these words are phrases that start a question. Here is what I mean: Kedu + onye...? means “who is…?” Kedu + mgbe...? means “when is...?” Kedu + ebe...? means “where is...?” Kedu + otu...? means “how is/are….?” Kedu + nke...? means “which one...?” Kedu in front of any other noun…? can mean “what is....?” Music: Onye bu nwanne m by Onyeka --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/igbopodcast/support

Ifunanya: Uche nnọ , kee maka izu ngwụcha gi? I na-eweta onwe gi? Uchenna: Ndeewo Ifunanya; izu m gara ofuma. Gi nwa kwanu? Kedu ka i mere? .... Uchenna: Daalu maka ajụjụ gi. Thank you for your question. In today’s lesson we will talk about how to ask questions, ịjụ ajụjụ, in Igbo. To start off, let’s go back to basics. You can even think back to when you were in grade school. What were you taught are the “question words in English”? Ifunanya: Sure; they were “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “ why,” and “how.” ... Note questions can also be made from statements based off of tone/voice inflections. Example: You have a question: I nwere ajụjụ. Do you have a question: I nwere ajụjụ? (change in tone) Exercise 1: Review of Survival Kit Question Phrases What did you say? ---> Gini ka i kwuru? Or Isi gini? How do I say ____ in igbo?---> Olee otu m ga-esi kwuo ____ n’Igbo? What is ____ in igbo?---> Gini bu ____ n’Igbo. Question Words Who?...Onye? What?...Gini? When?...Mgbe olee? Where?...Ebee? Ebe olee? Why?...Maka gini? How?...Otu olee? Or Olee Otu Which?...Nke olee? (Note: "Otu olee" can be used when just simply asking "how?" While "Ole otu" is the start of a sentence beginning with "how" and followed by other words. Kedu in combination with these words are phrases that start a question. Here is what I mean: Kedu + onye...? means “who is…?” Kedu + mgbe...? means “when is...?” Kedu + ebe...? means “where is...?” Kedu + otu...? means “how is/are….?” Kedu + nke...? means “which one...?” Kedu in front of any other noun…? can mean “what is....?” (Note: There are many variations of ways that questions can be formed beyond what is discussed here. What will be important is to just pick a place to start and phrases that are easiest for you to integrate into speech and then from there work on learning the other variations) Exercise 2 Listen to the question, identify which question word is being used, the meaning of the phrase, and then attempt to respond. Gini bu aha gi? --->What is your name? -Kedu aha (afa) gi? 2. Onye ka i bu? --->Who are you? -Kedu onye i bu? 3. Ebee ka i nọ? ---> Where are you? -Kedu ebee i nọ? 4. Olee mgbe i nwere oge?---> When do you have time? -Kedu mgbe i nwere oge? 5. Nke olee masiri gi karia, jollofu Nigeria ka o bu jollofu Ghana? Which do you like better, Nigerian jollof or Ghanaian jollof? - Kedu nke masiri gi karia, jollofu Nigeria ka o bu jollofu Ghana? 6. Olee otu i di? How are you? -Kedu otu i di? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/igbopodcast/support

Stereotypes of French training vs. American training: cigarettes, boyfriends, wine, baguettes, artistry, etc. Adriana Pop and Laurent Landi bringing the makeup to the French-style performance game. How Teza learned her crazy eponymous skills and dealing with her constant fear. Why Cecile chooses to stay in the United States for the "more rewarding" gymnastics, especially NCAA and level 10s. What they think of the current Code of Points  and how they'd do under todays code. What it's like coaching Simone Biles and which crazy skills we can convince Simone to do. The 1996 Olympic Games in the loud Georgia dome, AKA the butter-smell arena. How to avoid burnout the French way: All the naughty things they did to get a break from their grueling schedules. Why Cecile and Laurent took a long break after Rio. Required Viewing Cecile Canqueteau-Landi floor 1996 Olympics, and beam from 1998 featuring "tusk mount" jump half-turn to handstand from side Elvire Teza fluff from 1998 American Cup, floor 1996,  beam 1997, bars 2000 Live Show at NCAAs Seats limited.

A new ScanEagle from Insitu, an Ohio UAS test site is up and running, students learning about UAVs in a precision agriculture program, ABC creating drone journalism policies, and a drone on an urban rescue mission. News Insitu Launches New ScanEagle 2 UAS The new Insitu ScanEagle 2 features a slightly longer fuselage, the same wingspan, and a new engine from Orbital. Endurance of this fixed-wing system grows to 24 hours from 16. US Navy seeks information on sense and avoid radar for Triton UAS The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has been unable to develop sense and avoid radar for the Triton. They've issued an RFI (Request for Information) and NAVAIR wants a scaleable SAA box that is modular and deployable to other platforms. The Triton is a naval version of the RQ-4A Global Hawk, with a different wing to handle higher stresses. WSRI conducts its first test of UAS aircraft Wright State Research Institute (WSRI) conducted its first UAS research flight at Wilmington Air Park using a senseFly eBee 3D Aerial Solutions piloted the eBee used to conduct modeling and simulation research, to gather terrain data for 3D flight simulation environments. The flight operated under a recently awarded certificate of authorization (COA) from the FAA. Sinclair sees UAS payoff in future jobs Sinclair Community College in Ohio sees a coming boom in unmanned aviation opportunities, and they're investing millions to help train a UAS workforce. They've spent over $5 million on curriculum, flight simulators, and more than 50 UAVs. The college will use its field house to serve as the largest indoor unmanned aerial vehicle flying range in Ohio. Sinclair plans to open a National UAS Training and Certification Center using $5 million of their money and $4 million from State funds. Sinclair has partnered with Ohio State University and additionally, has established partnerships with Wright State University, the University of Dayton, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and other educational institutions. LRSC students study ag potential of UAS Lake Region State College's Precision Agriculture Center in North Dakota wants its graduates to have UAV skills. The program offers both theoretical and practical core courses and hands-on training. The average North Dakota farmer spends about $1.3 million per year planting and harvesting crops. UAS and satellite mapping can cut those costs 6-16%. Changes to aviation laws will give media more freedom to use drones for newsgathering ABC in Australia has a project to develop and regulate their use of drones for journalism. Proposed changes to Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) rules would allow “low risk” operations, making it easier for the media to use sUAS for newsgathering. ABC has developed a 3-day training course for camera operators that covers air safety rules, privacy policies, and flight training using Phantom 2 RPAs. ABC policy will prohibit using small drones over bushfires because of the high winds, low visibility, and possible presence of water bombing aircraft. Drone used to rescue window cleaner dangling from tower block A window washer in Abu Dhabi had a tense situation when his scaffold failed. The man was clinging to one of the windows ten stories up in the air. Police brought in a drone equipped with video and a speaker, calmed the man down, and instructed him on how to affect a repair and lower himself down. Simpler rules for small unmanned air vehicles Transport Canada announced at the Unmanned Systems Canada conference in Montréal, two exemptions that simplify small unmanned air vehicle (UAV) operations and safely integrate UAVs into Canadian airspace. Under the new exemptions, a Special Flight Operations Certificate will not be required for UAVs under 2 kilograms and certain operations involving UAVs under 25 kilograms. The new approach will apply to commercial operations and contribute to a strong sa...

An amphibian RPA, India bans drones, open source code for drones, area terrain mapping, DARPA's ship-based MALE UAV concept, a new UAV market study, and more on logbooks for drone pilots. News The Flyox Amphib UAV enters market Singular Aircraft has released the Flyox I, an amphibian RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) that can take off and land on water, as well as on unpaved runways and snow. Flyox I is a high wing aircraft with a 14 meter wingspan, a 2000 kg payload, and is powered by two 340 HP engines. It can automatically take-off and land, and can be programed with preset flight paths. Envisioned applications include agriculture, firefighting, goods transport, surveillance, and rescue. India bans civilian drones in the country till it revises existing policies The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has prohibited the use of civilian drones in India. The DGCA says, “Due to lack of regulation, operating procedures/standards, and uncertainty of the technology, UAS poses threat for air collisions and accidents.” Serbia and Albania game abandoned after drone invasion sparks brawl Serbia's European Championship football (soccer) qualifying match with Albania was stopped after a fight between the players broke out. When a DJI Phantom flew over the field carrying a "Greater Albania" flag, a Serbian player pulled it down, and that sparked the brawl. Industry Coalition Wants Open Source Code for Drones The Dronecode Project has been established as a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project to foster a common, shared open source platform for UAVs. The Project includes the APM/ArduPilot UAV software platform and associated code, currently hosted by 3D Robotics. Founding members include 3D Robotics, Baidu, Box, DroneDeploy, Intel, jDrones, Laser Navigation, Qualcomm Technologies, SkyWard, Squadrone System, Walkera and Yuneec. More than 1,200 developers are working on Dronecode. Press Release: Linux Foundation and Leading Technology Companies Launch Open Source Dronecode Project Drone approved to map area terrain Wright State Research Institute (WSRI) will partner with 3D Aerial Solutions to fly an eBee drone to map terrain at the Wilmington Air Park. The photogrammetry flights will produce a series of two-dimensional photographs that together create a 3D image. The Ohio/Indiana UAS Test Site will then use the data to virtually fly UAVs. The eBee is a hand-launched flying wing type aircraft with a single pusher engine. It has a 38” wingspan, a 50 minute flight time, and a radio range of just under 2 miles. Wright State also has asked the FAA for permission to fly a UAV above the National Center for Medical Readiness. A decision is pending. DARPA advances ship-based MALE UAV concept DARPA (the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has awarded AeroVironment a $19 million preliminary design contract to demonstrate launch and recovery of a medium-sized UAV from a small vessel. According to DARPA, the tactically exploited reconnaissance node (TERN, now retitled Tern) program, “envisions using smaller ships as mobile launch and recovery sites for medium-altitude long-endurance [MALE] unmanned aircraft. Ideally, Tern would enable on-demand, ship-based unmanned aircraft system operations without extensive, time-consuming and irreversible ship modifications.” “Subscale flight demonstrations” are expected over the next 12 months. 2014 UAV Market Research Study assesses size, growth of total UAV market The "2014 UAV Market Research Study" from IGI Consulting estimates that the US market will grow from $5 billion in 2013 to $15 billion in 2020. The study looks at the total UAV market, ranging from large military UAVs to small amateur UAVs. It considers DOD, Civil, Commercial, sUAS, DIY Amateur, and Radio Control aircraft. Growth will be driven by the commercial and Do-it-Yourself markets, with major commercial applications being: agriculture, real estate, filmmaking, oil and pipeline,
