These slides were meant to be used in geography class. They're part of a series called 'Geoimages' and came under the theme: 'Transportation and communication, how international mobility is supported'.

I don't have any dates for now.

Descriptions below:

1 & 2 - Cranes and containers in the Aveiro port (Portugal)

3 & 4- Transporting goods by water in developing countries (river Yangtze - China). Lack of land transportation makes it so that river networks play a relevant part in these countries.

5- Transportation of people on the Mekong river (Vietnam). Lack of land transportation makes it so that river networks play a relevant part on transporting goods and people in developing countries. (same idea as above, we get it)

6- Kobe port, Japan. Notice the diversity in the transport network.

7 - Short-distance river transportation of people in a developed country (river Thames, London). The strong offer of land transportation has led to the weakening of the water transportation of people, who are now mostly tourists.

Thank you for the slides! I can totally picture a teacher clicking through them while reading the text from the included manual to their sixth-grade class. *shunk-shunk* "Here we see a barge taking goods such as raw cotton down the Mississippi River..."

I don't have a date either (boats are harder to pin years on than cars, heh) but going by look and style I'd say late 1960s to mid 1970s. They're in really good condition for being a mass-produced product so must have been printed on photo stock rather than acetate, which would make sense because the company would only need to make about a few hundred of these and charge a school $50-$100 for a set of 20 whereas the tourist slides that go amber after a decade were printed in thousands and ran for $1-$2 for 4.

Archive - Shiprock, New Mexico Photographer and Summary Author: Dr. Jack B. Share

Each Sunday we present a notable item from our archives. This EPOD was originally published September 15, 2012.

Shiprock gives the impression of having been volcanically thrust out from the sands of the Mancos desert, but this isn't the case. Shiprock is indeed a volcano but of a class called a diatreme, having formed explosively from gas-charged magma escaping at great velocity. It possessed a crater at the surface called a maar, but erosion has long since removed it along with much of the sedimentary strata through which it erupted. What we see now is the solidified plumbing that remains called a neck and its system of magma-radiating conduits called dikes. Thus, Shiprock is a partially-exhumed, erosionally-sculpted diatreme.

The entire Shiprock volcanic complex emplaced between 28 and 19 million years ago during the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene. Its maar crater is estimated to have been located 3,250 ft (991 m) above the present day land surface of the Mancos Shale. That means Shiprock erupted through most, if not all, of the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway’s sandstones and shales as well as some overlying Tertiary sandstones. The tectonic forces that created the uplift of the Colorado Plateau were likely responsible for the diatreme’s placement within the Navajo Volcanic Field and its subsequent exhumation and erosion. Photo taken on July 5, 2012.

Photo Details: Camera Maker: Canon; Camera Model: Canon EOS 7D; Focal Length: 69.0mm; Aperture: f/8.0; Exposure Time: 0.0040 s (1/250); ISO equiv: 100; Software: Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 Windows.

Megafauna 2020– Tabor Robak. Megafauna is a group of computer-generated animations; highly detailed digital sculptures – called Magi – that glow in the darkened space. The imagery in Megafauna is visually derived from micro-biology, advanced robotics, data storage, and sacred iconography. These animated forms – part-organic, part-machine – recall the technologies that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is most likely to emerge from: geoimaging and cartography, military science and weaponisation, banking and healthcare. Megafauna is about the mythology of AI and advanced technology, it explores the god-like importance we place on it in our present trajectory as a society. The work asks us to look at the ethical and philosophical implications of our attitude to technology. * * * * * * #Megafauna #TaborRobak #NGVtriennial #NationalGalleryOfVictoria #supergorgeousness #instagay #helleaux #learningtosee #artnerd #inspirationiseverywhere #instagrammers #appropriation #artfag #arthag #Helleaux #StayAtHomeModel #shotoniPhone (at National Gallery of Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQquyHhLekC/?utm_medium=tumblr

SP Aero 2 (Jo, Yu fan, Royden) Mothership

SP aero 2 won Second runner up prize after a fierce competition against other international teams.

During this competition, SP aero 2 manage to reach the target using a dual-device system. The team used a concept of a mothership and an intelligent payload system to do Search and rescue for the competition. The drone is fully made from scratch with the help of our team leader Hong Phu, whom he manage to get the custom built aluminium and carbon fiber frame.

The design of the drone was inspired by the many problems encountered by Search and Rescue drones. This is because in search and rescue situations, the drone needs to get up close to examine the condition of the injured and when dropping the first aid kit (payload) the drone cannot be too high as the payload may hit the injured as precision is compromised when the payload is dropped from a great height.

SP aero 2 planned to use a smart intelligent payload instead where it will take off from a mothership once the camera in the mothership is able to detect any people on the ground, the smart payload delivery will then examine the injured and the payload drop decision will then be made by the pilot if it is safe. For the smart payload delivery, the payload will be delivered safely to the injured where it will land near the injured where it can be reached conveniently without any struggles by the injured.

Mothership

The mothership is provided with a 400 cm^2 area of launching space, the mothership is able to carry and launch the intelligent payload system autonomously. With a 16mm telescopic camera, the mothership can also scan the area for casualties and detect the target accurately with the assistance of OpenCV

Flight Controller ( Pixhawk 4 )

The Pixhawk 4 is the flight controller used for our mothership.

Pixhawk 4® is an advanced autopilot designed and made in collaboration with Holybro® and the PX4 team. It is optimized to run PX4 version 1.7, suitable for academic and commercial.

We decide to choose Pixhawk 4 as it is the latest version of its series .The Flight controller comes with its own Power Distribution Board and GPS module that are essential for the drone to operate in autopilot more

Using it with Px4/ArduPilot Mission Planner ,we can set a specific path on a geoimage from google map that the drone will follow autonomously .Since we are only limited to one active pilot ,the mothership has to be autonomous when the small human piloted drone/payload is deployed to perform payload delivery.Thus the Pixhawk autopilot capability as a flight controller is very useful for this drone in its search and rescue mission

How the ArduPilot Mission Planner work will be discussed more in the later page of the report.

Aside from its autopilot feature , it also has the ability to autotune its PID rates (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) used to adjust the drones roll,pitch and yaw relative to its 3 axis

Texas Hill Country’s Enchanted Rock Photographer and Summary Author: Patti Weeks

Enchanted Rock is the second largest pink granite monadnock in the United States. Designated in 1936 as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and in 2014 as an International Dark Sky Park, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area occupies a remote section of the Hill Country in central Texas, along with a scattering of cattle ranches, 500 plant species and abundant wildlife

This igneous rock mass, or pluton, located in the Llano Uplift, was pushed up into the overlying sedimentary Cretaceous Edwards limestone from a large magma pool, which was estimated to be 7 mi (11 km) below the surface one billion years ago.

The Enchanted Rock dome is the visible part of a huge batholith, called the Town Mountain Granite. At an elevation of 1,825 ft (556 m) above sea level, the dome rises 425 ft (130 m) above the base elevation. It covers 640 acres (259 hectares), but it's just a small part of the 62 sq mi (161 sq km) underground batholith. Enchanted Rock is an exfoliation dome, with sheets of rock peeling off like layers of an onion. After the overlying sedimentary rock was eroded away, the load on the dome decreased, allowing it to expand and then break into smaller sections and begin sliding down the dome’s sloped sides.

The 15 tiny dots in the top photo are visitors who are hiking the Summit Trail to the top of the dome. The hikers will see the fragile vernal pools, ecologically threatened depressions of flora and fauna, which include rock quillwort and tiny fairy shrimp. Some onion peels and tumbled boulders are visible in the top photo. The photo below shows lower-lying hoodoos that have been eroded through differential weathering of the exposed layers of rocks that have slid or tumbled down the dome. Photos taken May 9, 2018.

Photo Details: Top - SONY DSC-HX400V camera; 1/800 sec. exposure; ƒ/3.5 aperture; ISO 80; Focal Length: 11.86 mm focal length; 4.3-215mm ƒ/2.8-6.3. Insert - same except: 1/500 sec. exposure; Aperture: ƒ/5 aperture; 53.33 mm focal length.
