  • DRAFT: TSP 2035 Existing Conditions and Future Needs Report
    Washington County TSP 2035 • Existing Conditions and Future Needs Report **DRAFT 9/27/12** Chapter 4: Active Transportation and Transit 4.1 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION OVERVIEW This chapter describes existing conditions and future needs for three “active” modes of travel: walking, bicycling and taking transit. 4.1.1 What is Active Transportation? Active transportation refers to human-powered travel, including walking and bicycling. Public transit is also a component of active transportation because accessing transit stops usually involves walking or bicycling. Widespread use of the term began in the first decade of the 21st century as policymakers placed increased emphasis on non-automobile modes, and as the links between human health and transportation planning became more evident. Active transportation modes are essential components of the overall transportation system, meeting a variety of societal, environmental and economic goals. These include: • Environmental stewardship. In Oregon, approximately 34% of greenhouse gas emissions – the largest share – can be attributed to motor vehicles.1 Replacing automobile trips with active trips reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, air toxics and particulates, helping to improve regional air quality and address one of the leading causes of climate change. • Congestion alleviation. It is simple arithmetic that walk, bike and transit trips reduce the number of motor vehicles vying for space on roadways and in parking lots. The active mode share for commuting from Washington County is about 11%, representing roughly 27,000 people who do not drive to work.2 Reduced congestion improves air quality, quality of life, and economic productivity. • Health. America is facing a health epidemic related to obesity and inactivity.

    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE May 2016 Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network Laura Osur Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Osur, Laura, "Netflix and the Development of the Internet Television Network" (2016). Dissertations - ALL. 448. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/448 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

III “LIKE NUGGETS FROM A GOLD MINE” SEARCHING FOR BRICKS AND THEIR MAKERS IN „THE OREGON COUNTRY‟ Thesis by Kristin O. Converse ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: The history of the Pacific Northwest has favored large, extractive and national industries such as the fur trade, mining, lumbering, fishing and farming over smaller pioneer enterprises. This multi-disciplinary study attempts to address that oversight by focusing on the early brickmakers in „the Oregon Country‟. Using a combination of archaeometry and historical research, this study attempts to make use of a humble and under- appreciated artifact – brick – to flesh out the forgotten details of the emergence of the brick industry, its role in the shifting local economy, as well as its producers and their economic strategies. Procedure: Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis was performed on 89 red, common bricks archaeologically recovered from Fort Vancouver and 113 comparative samples in an attempt to „source‟ the brick.

This system allows studios to charge different theaters, where the average price of admission was $7.85 prices to consumers through different distribution during the first three quarters of 2010. 2 Roughly four channels depending on their preferences for watching months after the theatrical release, the video-release movies close to their release date.
