Hundreds of thousands have fanned out southwestward, southward, and southeastward into various parts of the Pacific world. Many thousands have moved eastward to Hawaii and be- yond to the mainland of North and South America. Other thousands have been borne to Panama and to Cuba. The movement was in part forced, or at least semi-forced. This movement was the consequence of, and it like- wise entailed, many problems of a social and economic nature, with added political aspects and implications. It was a movement of human beings which, while it has had superficial notice in various works, has not yet been ade- quately investigated. It is important enough to merit a full historical record, particularly as we are now in an era when international understanding is of such extreme mo- ment. The peoples of the world will better understand one another if the antecedents of present conditions are thoroughly and widely known.

    Innovation in Disaster Risk Reduction Applyng Global Investigations on La Molina Effects

    INNOVATION IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION APPLYNG GLOBAL INVESTIGATIONS ON LA MOLINA EFFECTS Julio Kuroiwa(1) SUMMARY Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) globally has mainly been based on reducing the vulnerability of buildings and infrastructures, designing and constructing them more robustly, using, for example, seismic codes of Japan and California, USA, from the 1980s, which have substantially reduced structural damages. However, disaster reduction has lately evolved to disaster risk reduction. By adding risk, it is explicitly including the other risk parameter: hazard. In La Molina, during the Lima 1940, 1966 and 1974 earthquakes, the seismic intensities there were IX MMI while in most of Lima’s built up areas, the intensities were V-VI MMI. The borders of La Molina and Lima areas are separated by only a few hundred meters, but there were large differences in intensity. Those events are named microzonation effects. Inspired in La Molina microzonation effects, from 1966 to 2017, the author carried out field damage survey investigations of 25 important disasters occurred in the Americas, Japan and China, and a few more in Peru of geological and hydrometeorogical origin disasters, including climate change. The two most clear microzonation effects –of the globally investigated disasters– occurred: (1) during the 1985 Michoacan Mexico earthquake, Mw 8.1 USGS, when the peak acceleration was 12cm/s2, at Lazaro Cardenas Port, on stiff soil, close to the seismic epicenter, while in Mexico City (MXC), 350 km from the epicenter, the peak acceleration was 120 cm/s2 on muddy soil at the location of the old Texcoco Lake. The soil amplification was 10 times, in spite of the great distance of MXC from the seismic epicenter.

  • Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches

    Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches

    October 27, 2008 Tru2way™ Platform for Bidirectional Cable Communication Launches Comcast Corporation and Panasonic have announced the first deployment of Tru2way™ bidirectional digital cable technology. Tru2way was developed by CableLabs based on the OpenCable™ specification and is a Java-based open application platform. It is being promoted as a digital CableCARD™ system that enables two- way communication between a digital-cable-ready TV set or other device and a cable operator’s head end to provide viewers with a rich interactive experience. According to a statement from Panasonic, “the technology creates a common software platform that will enable cable companies, consumer electronics companies, content developers, network programmers and others to extend interactivity to the TV set and other kinds of devices.” On October 15, 2008, Comcast activated the technology on its cable systems in Chicago and Denver. Panasonic HDTV sets with tru2way capability were also made available at selected retail outlets in these areas. The new Panasonic 42” and 50” Viera sets have built-in tru2way CableCARD slots enabling consumers to receive the cable electronic program guide and access two-way digital cable programming, like video on demand, pay-per-view, and other services, without a cable operator-supplied set-top box. To see the announcement from Panasonic and Comcast click here. Another announcement, from the Consumer Electronics Association, is available here. The advantage of the bidirectional cable card for consumers is that it removes the need for another set- top device around the TV and potentially reduces the equipment fee cable operators charge to lease their set-top components.

  • When Mobile TV Meets the Internet and Social Networking by Marie-Jo

    When Mobile TV Meets the Internet and Social Networking by Marie-Jo

    The Future of Mobile TV: When Mobile TV meets the Internet and Social Networking By Marie-José Montpetit, Natalie Klym, and Emmanuel Blain 1 Introduction Over the last few years, online video services and telco IPTV have rocked the traditional model of television. As content delivery moves to an all-IP platform, connecting old and new providers to a growing array of increasingly personal and multi-purpose devices over fixed and mobile networks, the TV experience has become extremely versatile. Mobile TV is not immune to these upheavals, and is itself a disruptive force. In fact, it will soon make little sense to think of mobile TV as distinct from TV in general. Rather, it will be an integral part of an increasingly rich TV experience. This chapter provides a vision for the future of mobile TV as it evolves from standalone to integrated service. This shift will be examined in context of the more general transformation of television, with a focus on the recent integration of social networking. Our vision will thus build towards community-based approaches that harness the power of individuals, from their technologies to their behaviors. We begin by redefining mobile TV, and then give a brief overview of the key trends related to the television infrastructure and industry landscape. From there, we outline the mobile TV ecosystem of content, connections, and devices in more detail, and then demonstrate the growing importance of service features in this new environment, particularly in terms of integrating mobile and social TV. We would like to point out up front that many of the scenarios described in the paper are fraught with issues related to usability, technical difficulties, business models, and/or legalities.

Research has tracked the movies released theatrically in the U.S. to determine where they were filmed, why they filmed in the locations they did and how much was spent to produce them. We do this to help businesspeople and policymakers, particularly those with investments in California, better understand the state’s place in the competitive business environment that is feature film production. For reasons described later in this report’s methodology section, FilmL.A. adopted a different film project sampling method for 2016. This year, our sample is based on the top 100 feature films at the domestic box office released theatrically within the U.S. during the 2016 calendar
