Michigan’s tourism investment has typically been in local and Midwest markets, and as a result 70 percent of Michigan’s tourists have come from within the state. Over the past decade focus has been on the promotion of the state’s natural resources for fishing, hunting and boating. In an effort to diversify the state’s economy, the Michigan legislature voted to greatly increase the state’s tourism budget in 2007 enabling Travel Michigan’s award winning Pure Michigan campaign to be initiated on a national basis. In addition, Governor Jennifer Granholm asked all state departments to suggest ways they could assist in the effort to bring increased revenue to the state. The Department of History, Arts and Libraries determined that as part of its Cultural Economic Development Strategy there was an opportunity to promote the state’s cultural heritage resources in addition to its natural resources. This was confirmed by a survey conducted by the Travel, Tourism and Recreation Resource Center at Michigan State University, which showed that heritage tourists stay longer and spend more money than the average tourist. This led Don Holecek, director of the center to conclude, “The heritage link can be used to identify and capture (e.g. promote to) a potentially very profitable target market segment.” In an effort to increase cultural heritage tourism in Michigan and appeal to a niche market of heritage tourists, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) applied for a grant from the federal Preserve America program in 2006 to survey the historic resources along the Lake Michigan shore in West Michigan. Support for this project was also received from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs, the Holland/Zeeland Area

  • Jobsite Cameras Past, Present, Future
    Jobsite Cameras Past, Present, Future How jobsite cameras are evolving in use and capability By David Gaw, Founder, CEO – Sensera Systems Jobsite cameras have become an essential tool for the modern connected jobsite. Understanding these systems and how they support construction best practices is important in today’s ever-expanding jobsite technology array. In this article, we’ll take a look at the evolution of jobsite cameras and how they are impacting the construction industry. WHAT IS A ‘JOBSITE CAMERA’? A jobsite camera is simply a camera that is used on a construction site to provide automated capture of imagery and/or video. Most would also agree that a jobsite camera is one that is network connected to allow for remote viewing and image retrieval. However, there are some more basic devices used on jobsites that record images and video to local storage for periodic manual retrieval by the user. For the purposes of our discussion here we will consider only network-connected cameras, since non-connected cameras are typically not suitable for commercial construction project applications. In addition to the camera hardware itself, a ‘jobsite camera’ typically also incorporates software that provides the following basic functions (at minimum): • Remote configuration of the camera operation • Viewing of images and video • Remote long-term storage of images and video (e.g., cloud-based storage) • Creation of time-lapse videos from individual still images collected at specified intervals BACK IN THE DAY The initial jobsite cameras grew out of early ‘webcam’ applications. A webcam is a camera that is connected to the Internet (or the Web), to allow for remote real-time viewing.

On Danish-American Cultural Identity By Signe Sloth In 1967 an article was published which kick-started a discussion that is still going on among sociologists today. The subject of the article is American civil religion and the writer is the American sociologist Robert Bellah who claims that every nation and every people has a religious self-understanding. He advocates an American civil religion that is separated from other denominations and established religious institutions, but just like them demands recognition and understanding. Bellah defines this Civil Religion as " ... A genuine apprehension of universal and transcendental religious reality as seen in or . as revealed through the experience of the American people.1 His main argument is that in every inaugural address by any American president you can find a reference to God. This is not a specific god, but because God is a concept that almost everyone can relate to, whether it being the Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Jewish god, it is a reference that leaves no one out.
