Mount Meru is an active volcano located just 70 kilometers (44 miles) west of Mount Kilimanjaro. It reaches 4,566 meters (14,978 feet) in height but has lost much of its bulk due to an eastward volcanic blast sometime in its distant past, perhaps similar to the eruption of Mount Saint Helens in Washington State in 1980. Mount Meru most recently had a minor eruption about a century ago. The several small cones and craters seen in the vicinity probably reflect numerous episodes of volcanic activity. Mount Meru is the topographic centerpiece of Arusha National Park. Its fertile slopes rise above the surrounding savanna and support a forest that hosts diverse wildlife, including nearly 400 species of birds, and also monkeys and leopards.
Two visualization methods were combined to produce this image: shading and color coding of topographic height. The shade image was derived by computing topographic slope in the north-south direction. Northern slopes appear bright and southern slopes appear dark, as would be the case at noon at this latitude in June. Color coding is directly related to topographic height, with green at the lower elevations, rising through yellow, red, and magenta, to blue and white at the highest elevations.
Elevation data used in this image was acquired by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on Feb. 11, 2000. SRTM used the same radar instrument that comprised the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) that flew twice on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1994. SRTM was designed to collect 3-D measurements of the Earth's surface. To collect the 3-D data, engineers added a 60-meter (approximately 200-foot) mast, installed additional C-band and X-band antennas, and improved tracking and navigation devices. The mission is a cooperative project between NASA, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) of the U.S. Department of Defense and the German and Italian space agencies. It is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., for NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, Washington, D.C.

My favourite view of Sydney, taken from the 5th floor balcony of Westield in Bondi Junction. The four layers? 1) The light poles and trees of Bondi Junction. The poles are functioning as the lions before both the Chicago Art Museum of the NY Public Library on 5th Avenue. 2) The hills of Woolahra and East Sydney 3) The Sydney Harbour Bridge connecting the North Sydney CBD (on the right) with the towers of Sydney, and 4) on this rainy and overcast day, the clouds of the heavens.
Taken for Active Assignment Weekly.
Your assignment for this week is Layered, (and I don't mean photoshop layers!).
I'm after photos that demonstrate the compositional technique of layers or layering to create depth in photography.
Layers shall be the MAIN PRINCIPLE OF COMPOSITION of the shoot. Therefore the layers shall be obvious visible, not hidden somewhere in the backround.
Restriction:
More than TWO different layers shall be visible. Therefore compositions with black silhouette and simple background are NOT defined as "layers".
Esmail and crew made the rounds to all the I.E. Active locations on Black Friday morning to serve hot chocolate and giveaway some free Mugs. Went to Active Rancho, Chino, Chino Hills, Corona, Temecula, and Riverside. Overall the shops did successful that day!
An active shooter exercise was held on May 28 at the Camp Zama Community Activity Center. All buildings on the Camp Zama and Sagamihara Family Housing Area installations, gates and facilities were closed as part of the exercise. (U.S. Army photos by Yuichi Imada)
The Camden Active Spaces project saw outdoor spaces in seven of Camden’s primary and secondary schools transformed by uniquely designed structures to inspire our children and young people to get moving more.
LUC met with students, parents and residents to help shape what the spaces would look like. This in-depth survey and analysis informed our designs, which included bespoke elements such as trampolines, climbing towers, nets, trails and monkey bars.

What it took: I just had to wait for someone to walk past in that area. I was in the cafe downstairs. I've just changed the contrast a little.
The Royal Conservatory's TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning.
Tangkuban Perahu, is an active volcano 30 km north of the city of Bandung, the provincial capital of West Java, Indonesia. It is a popular tourist attraction where tourists can hike or ride to the edge of the crater to view the hot water springs upclose, and buy eggs cooked on its hot surface. This stratovolcano is on the island of Java and last erupted in 1983. Together with Mount Burangrang and Bukit Tunggul, those are remnants of the ancient Mount Sunda after the plinian eruption caused the Caldera to collapse.

In recent decades, developments in software and hardware technologies have created dramatic shifts in design, manufacturing and research. Software technologies have facilitated automated process and new solutions for complex problems. Computation has also become a platform for creativity through generative art and design. New hardware platforms and digital fabrication technologies have similarly transformed manufacturing, offering more efficient production and mass customization. Such advances have helped catalyzed the maker-movement, democratizing design and maker culture. This influx of new capabilities to design, compute and fabricate like never before, has sparked a renewed interest in material performance.
We are now witnessing significant advances in active matter, 3D/4D Printing, materials science, synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology and soft robotics, which have led to the convergence of software, hardware and material technologies and the growing field of programmable materials.
This conference was about the emerging field of active matter and programmable materials that bridges the worlds of art, science, engineering and design, demonstrating new perspectives for computation, transformation and dynamic material applications.
If over the past few decades we have experienced a software revolution, and more recently, a hardware revolution, this conference aims to discuss the premises, challenges and innovations brought by today’s materials revolution. We can now sense, compute, and actuate with materials alone, just as we could with software and hardware platforms previously. How does this shift influence materials research, and how does it shape the future of design, arts, and industrial applications? What tools and design processes do we need to advance, augment and invent new materials today? What are the key roles that industry, government, academic and public institutions can play in catalyzing the field of programmable materials?
This two-day conference consisted of a range of talks and lively discussion from leading researchers in materials science, art & design, synthetic biology and soft-robotics along with leaders from government, public institutions and industry.

The Active C Pro Charcoal Face Mask has earned a cult status by being the ultimate blackhead-remover. Specially designed to unblock clogged pores by peeling blackheads, Activated Charcoal fights deep rooted impurities. It helps to remove dirt, pollution completely from the skin. Enriches skin by absorbing pores of blackheads, helps reduce wrinkles and sagging by great deal.
Active Assignment Weekly Jan 3-Jan 10: Wheels
Assignment:
Wheels make the world go ‘round. For this assignment you are to capture the essence of this wonder of invention and seek out the wheels that make your world turn.
Restriction: To add some challenge, NO wheels that are intended to carry vehicles (cars, trucks, bikes, wagons, trains, etc.) are allowed.
WIT: camera on the tripod , staged the mouse on my kitchen table with a book behind to add a background, SB600 on the right splashed off the wall. A bit of balancing in gimp
I think we take the mouse scroll wheel for granted, imagine a world without it....
