Rapidly moving world events have triggered unification on one hand, and dissolution on the other. Political boundaries have been redefined, changing the way we perceive our world. No less dramatic were the events of SOO years ago when, in 1492 Christopher Columbus sailing in search of Asia, made landfall in the islands of the eastern Caribbean. That fateful voyage did not mark the first contact between Eastern and Western Hemispheres: others had occurred before. It did mark, however, a point of change. Two worlds that had previously existed in relative isolation were irreversibly joined. For good or ill, peoples and cultures would never again be the same. Maps were redrawn, and the worlds they represented were seen in new light. Just as 1992 is a time to reflect on the events of 1492, with all of the socio-economic and political changes that resulted, so too is it a time to consider the present status of the Western Hemisphere -- a time to Revisit the Americas. In observance of the Columbus Quincentennial and on the occasion of the 27th International Geographical Congress, the National Council for Geographic Education has produced Revisiting the Americas: Teaching and Learning the Geography

  • A Ovel, Locally Engineered Crude Asphalt Crusher
    Seventh LACCEI Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology (LACCEI’2009) “Energy and Technology for the Americas: Education, Innovation, Technology and Practice” June 2-5, 2009, San Cristobal. A ovel, Locally Engineered Crude Asphalt Crusher Kenneth Roberts Lake Asphalt of Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Kenny Cupid Lake Asphalt of Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Kamel Singh The University of Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] Musti KS Sastry The University of West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago, [email protected] ABSTRACT The ‘Pitch Lake’ located in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies is perhaps the largest natural and commercial asphalt deposit in the world. The asphalt is mined continuously and processed to produce different commercial products, which are used for different purposes all over the world. The extracted crude asphalt usually will be in large crumbs and difficult to process. This paper presents a safe, low cost, locally engineered crude asphalt crusher to improve the overall processing operations. Keywords: Crude Asphalt, Machine Design, Sustainable Technology, Innovative Solution 1. ITRODUCTIO Trinidad Lake Asphalt is a natural product from the famous Asphalt or “Pitch” Lake located in La Brea, southwest Trinidad Island (southern Carribean), 90 km from the capital Port-of-Spain. This natural resource is actively mined for many years; however the first commercial operations commenced in 1888. It is from this location that refined asphalt, known as Trinidad Lake Asphalt . The lake measures approximately 40 hectares, with an estimated depth up to 76meters at the centre. This wonder holds an estimated ten million tons of pitch; a total of 150 tons of pitch is extracted from the lake per day.

Horvath – Project Archaeologist Katherine Baar – Archaeologist November 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI) performed a cultural resource assessment survey (CRAS) of 79 acres of the Wiggins Prairie Mitigation Bank for Southern States Land & Timber, LLC in October 2016. Portions of the 492-acre parcel had been previously surveyed, and the current investigations focused on those areas where subsurface disturbance is anticipated. The purpose of the survey was to locate and identify any archaeological sites and historic resources within the project area of potential effects (APE) and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The archaeological APE consists of those lands that will be subject to subsurface disturbance and have not previously been surveyed for cultural resources. The historical APE consists of the entire property. The survey was requested by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), who reviewed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) file number SAJ-2016-00429-TMF (Parsons 2016).

  • Migration and the Rural-Urban Continuum: Evidence from Bukidnon, Philippines*
    Philippine Journal of Development Number 61, First and Second Semesters 2006 Volume XXXIII, Numbers 1 & 2 Migration and the Rural-Urban Continuum: Evidence from Bukidnon, Philippines* AGNES R. QUISUMBING AND SCOTT MCNIVEN ** ABSTRACT This paper explores the heterogeneity of the migrant experience using the Bukidnon Panel Survey, which follows up 448 families in rural Mindanao who were first interviewed in 1984–85, as well as their off- spring. In this paper, migration patterns are examined using the full listing of children of the original respondents as well as a special sur- vey including 257 of the migrant offspring who were tracked down and interviewed in 2004. The migrant survey focuses on differences in the migration experience of males and females who migrated to rural, poblacion, and urban areas. The study finds that rural areas, poblaciones, and urban areas systematically attract different types of migrants. Poblaciones and urban areas generally attract better-schooled individuals, partly because young people move to those areas to fur- ther their education, or because better-educated individuals move to * Funding for this study came from a grant from the United Kingdom Department for International Development project on rural-urban linkages to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Broadening Access to Input Markets and Services Collaborative Research Support Project. The data were collected by the Research Institute for Mindanao Culture, Xavier University. The authors are grateful to James Garrett for helpful discussions in conceptualizing the paper; Jane Hobson, Leonardo Lanzona, and Cecilia Tacoli for useful comments; and Erlinda Burton and Chona Echavez for insights into the migration experience in Mindanao.
