E’ stato individuato, quindi, un duplice obiettivo, realizzabile in due tempi e fasi distinte: quello di perimetrare ed identificare l’universo di riferimento mediante un’indagine desk validata da verifiche field (step 1), e quello di metterlo sotto esame con una approfondita ricerca field (step 2). Lo step 1 è l’oggetto del presente studio che ha per obiettivo, dunque, la costruzione di un database ragionato dei fornitori di contenuto localizzato, che abbiano per target gli abitanti della Regione, delle Province e dei territori comunali e locali, nei diversi settori dei media (televisione, radio, editoria, multimedia). Il risultato del lavoro è stato la realizzazione di 7 database: • un censimento delle emittenti televisive locali attive nella Regione; • un censimento delle emittenti radiofoniche locali attive nella Regione; • un censimento dell’editoria quotidiana e periodica a diffusione regionale o locale; • un censimento delle agenzie di stampa a diffusione e contenuto regionale e locale; • un censimento dell’editoria multimediale a contenuto locale (portali regionali e locali, siti Internet d’informazione di prossimità, iniziative editoriali degli enti locali); • un censimento delle concessionarie di pubblicità attive sul mercato regionale e locale; • un censimento degli operatori di servizi di telecomunicazioni con mercato di riferimento regionale e locale. INDAGINE SUI MEDIA LOCALI NELLA REGIONE LAZIO IEM -ISTITUTO DI ECONOMIA DEI MEDIA per CORECOM LAZIO A fronte del mandato iniziale da parte del committente (costruzione del database) e degli approfondimenti successivamente definiti (il database ragionato), l’output finale è stato più ampio, specie per alcuni media come la televisione e la radio (comunque al centro dell’attenzione del committente), fino a sfiorare, specie per la tv, l’analisi economica di settore vera e propria. Metodologia e risultanze La prima fase della ricerca si è caratterizzata per una valutazione delle fonti alle quali attingere al fine di reperire tutte le realtà mediali operanti sul territorio della regione Lazio. Si tratta di una documentazione molto eterogenea, dal punto di vista cronologico e di origine, perché le fonti istituzionali (Ministero delle Comunicazioni e Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni in primis), in un settore così mutevole e sfuggente come quello locale, vanno necessariamente confrontate con fonti meno autorevoli (riviste specializzate, annuari, elenchi forniti dalle associazioni di categoria, letteratura grigia) in grado di fornire informazioni aggiornate nonché utili elementi di contestualizzazione e comprensione dei dati emersi. Risultato di questa prima fase desk è stata la stesura di un database che è stato quindi sottoposto ad una accurata verifica che ha costituito l’ossatura della seconda fase della ricerca. A questo fine si è proceduto, innanzitutto, ad un controllo delle informazioni veicolate su Internet dalle stesse aziende media. Sono state ricercate informazioni sulle pagine web attraverso motori di ricerca e portali e tutti i soggetti presenti sul web con un sito proprio sono stati rilevati e annotati sul database. Questo tipo di ricerca ha consentito di censire realtà più piccole o di recente formazione e di correggere inesattezze o duplicazioni. Si è di seguito proseguito ad una verifica field. Sono state, quindi, contattate, per via telefonica, tutte le imprese di media presenti sul database. La verifica telefonica è risultata essere la fase decisiva nell’opera di definizione dell’universo di riferimento, la più rilevante in termini di informazioni pertinenti l’evoluzione e i mutamenti verificatisi nel settore. Questo processo ha anche permesso di raccogliere, in molti casi, informazioni dettagliate sulle singole realtà imprenditoriali, che hanno fornito utili indicazioni per comprendere i fenomeni in atto nel settore locale tra i quali i processi di ristrutturazione di molte imprese alla luce dei mutamenti introdotti dal passaggio alla tecnologia digitale e i processi di consolidamento. La raccolta dei dati necessari alla compilazione dei diversi censimenti, con l’obiettivo di delineare lo scenario esistente, di per sé probante per i tempi e le risorse stabiliti, è stata ulteriormente arricchita da un catasto delle frequenze televisive della Regione (in anticipo sul medesimo catasto che, a livello nazionale e con dettagliate specifiche tecniche, il Ministero delle Comunicazioni e l’Agcom hanno approntato nella primavera 2007) e da un’ampia analisi economica del settore televisivo regionale. Allo stesso tempo si è affrontata una prima analisi del mercato radiotelevisivo, della sua conformazione in gruppi societari, della modalità di raccolta alle risorse pubblicitarie. Nell’aggiornamento del settembre 2007 è stata posta sotto osservazione la trasmissione in tecnica digitale terrestre delle emittenti locali, specialmente per quanto riguarda gli orari della INDAGINE SUI MEDIA LOCALI NELLA REGIONE LAZIO IEM -ISTITUTO DI ECONOMIA DEI MEDIA per CORECOM LAZIO giornata dedicati alle trasmissioni digitali (e verificando come, nella maggior parte dei casi, questi restino ancora confinati nelle ore notturne). E’ stato, altresì, effettuato un primo raffronto esplorativo con lo studio L’emittenza radiotelevisiva locale del Lazio , promosso nel 1998 dall’allora Co.Re.Rat (Comitato Regionale Radiotelevisivo) del Lazio. Il raffronto permette di individuare alcune linee di tendenza ben definite (concentrazione e consolidamento, crescente capitalizzazione). Tra i diversi settori indagati, quello che ha presentato maggiori difficoltà e peculiarità è il censimento delle iniziative editoriali, di quotidiani e periodici locali, nelle diverse province della Regione. Nell’esplorare la fonte principale, ovvero i Registri Stampa dei diversi tribunali del Lazio 1, si è deciso di procedere con due modalità di analisi. La prima è stata quella di censire il maggior numero possibile di testate registrate dal dopoguerra ad oggi (al fine di non escludere le iniziative a stampa di lunga tradizione). Parallelamente si è identificato un indicatore che rendesse conto dell’incidenza percentuale delle testate locali ancora attive sul totale delle testate censite, giacché dai registri non risultavano, in molti casi, informazioni relative alla chiusura dell’attività dei diversi soggetti. A questo fine, è stato circoscritto un campione di riferimento di circa 100 testate, censite presso i tribunali di Frosinone e Cassino, che è stato quindi sottoposto a verifica telefonica. Dalle risultanze è emerso che circa un terzo delle testate è a contenuto locale e ancora attivo; un terzo è decaduto o a contenuto non locale, le testate restanti sono risultate irrintracciabili. Sono stati rilevati, inoltre, una serie di problemi legati al reperimento dei dati

  • Monte Cassino: Geology and War*
    http://barcelonatimetraveller.com/ Monte Cassino: Geology and War* Wes Gibbons 2018 The town of Cassino, in the province of Frosinone, Italy, is easily reached by car or train from Rome. The setting is scenically and geologically interesting, and the food and wine are excellent, but most visitors come for the WWII history associated with the adjacent hill and abbey of Monte Cassino. A series of battles here in January to May 1944, with Allied troops attacking the well-defended German Gustav Line, left an estimated 75,000 casualties. This guide integrates aspects of the geology, scenery and war history and describes a route through the area with 10 stops which can be completed in a short visit (2 or 3 nights). The route is easiest done by car, but if a full two days are available and you are reasonably fit, then almost everywhere can be reached by using local buses and walking (offering the opportunity to walk the entire 2-hour “Cavendish Road” backcountry military route to the village of Caira in attractive mountainous scenery behind the abbey). For a timeline detailing events in the battle see: https://ww2db.com/battle_spec.php?battle_id=312. Logistics Non-Italians travelling to Cassino by public transport from Rome airport can buy a return ticket at Fiumicino Airport for around 22 euros each way (April 2018), using the Leonardo Express train to Roma Termini and changing to the Cassino train. The journey takes about 3 hours: allow extra time for train 1 delays on the return journey to the airport. Once in Cassino there are various accommodation options: somewhere in the centre or west of town would be best positioned for the Archaeological Museum, Commonwealth Cemetery, and the bus station at Piazza San Benedetto.

  • Cassino-Anzio
    BATTLE CAMPAIGNS Extraced from "Ambassador in Arms: The Story of Hawaii's100th Battalion by Thomas D. Murphy Cassino to Anzio Campaign Part I January 17, 1944 - February 22, 1944 D Day for the amphibious assault was set for 22 January, 1944. 17 January - X Corps would attack across the Garigliano River on a line extending along that stream from the sea to S. Ambroglio. Three days later the 36th Division would push across the Rapido River and establish a bridgehead in the S. Angelo area. On the right of the 36th the 34th Division would make a demonstration to keep German reserves in the Cassino area, and would hold itself ready to move across the S. Angelo bridgehead against Cassino or to pass through the 36th and up the Liri Valley to the northwest. These plans contemplated a breakthrough south of Cassino's defenses. Though X Corps had established a bridgehead across the Garigliano by the end of January, it breached only the outer works of the Gustav Line, and the 36th Division's attack in the S. Angelo sector. 20-22 January - Had been a costly failure. As a result it was now planned that the 34th Division should cross the Rapido River in an attempt to break through the German defenses north and west of Cassino. In this area the Rapido cut across the eastern edge of the Liri Valley, flowed southwest from S. Elia and just east of Cassino, and joined the Gari River four miles below that city. West of the Rapido, the Gustav Line ran roughly southwest from Mt.

  • Failures in Command and Control: the Experience of 4Th Indian Division at the Second Battle of Cassino, February 1944
    188 Mann chapter 10 Failures in Command and Control: The Experience of 4th Indian Division at the Second Battle of Cassino, February 1944 Christopher Mann The 4th Indian Division launched a set piece offensive against German posi- tions around the Abbey of Monte Cassino in mid-February 1944. This attack was the major component of the Second Battle of Cassino.1 By this time, the 4th Indian Division was a highly experienced formation that had established a for- midable reputation in the Western Desert. It entered the battle confident of success and ended it, according to its divisional history, having “lost more than a battle. It lost some of its very substance.”2 In the aftermath of the Second and subsequently Third of the Cassino battles, the Division was withdrawn to a quieter area of the line, taking little part in the advance on Rome. It undertook some minor operations during the advance to the Gothic Line, but was moved to Greece in November 1944 to undertake civil support duties where it saw out the rest of the war. This chapter will examine the process that confronted the 4th Indian Division with failure for the first time. The battles for Monte Cassino are subject to a remarkably large literature and a number of the issues covered are reasonably well known.3 However, very few studies address the Second 1 Anglo-American accounts record four battles of Monte Cassino, whilst the Gernans view the First and Second Battles as part of the same.

  • Battle of Monte Cassino
    Battle of Monte Cassino 17 January thru 18 May 1944 Monte Cassino Abbey in November 2004 The Battle of Monte Cassino (also known as the Battle for Rome and the Battle for Cassino) was a costly series of four assaults by the Allies against the Winter Line in Italy held by the Germans and Italians during the Italian Campaign of World War II. The intention was a breakthrough to Rome. At the beginning of 1944, the western half of the Winter Line was being anchored by Germans holding the Rapido, Liri, and Garigliano valleys and some of the surrounding peaks and ridges. Together, these features formed the Gustav Line. Monte Cassino, a historic hilltop abbey founded in AD 529 by Benedict of Nursia, dominated the nearby town of Cassino and the entrances to the Liri and Rapido valleys, but had been left unoccupied by the German defenders. The Germans had, however, manned some positions set into the steep slopes below the abbey's walls. 1 Fearing that the abbey did form part of the Germans' defensive line, primarily as a lookout post, the Allies sanctioned its bombing on 15 February and American bombers proceeded to drop 1,400 tons of bombs onto it. The destruction and rubble left by the bombing raid now provided better protection from aerial and artillery attacks, so, two days later, German paratroopers took up positions in the abbey's ruins. Between 17 January and 18 May, Monte Cassino and the assaulted four times by Allied troops, the last involving twenty divisions attacking along a twenty-mile Gustav defenses were front.

  • A Veteran's Story. Hinsdale Massachusetts
    A Veteran’s story. Hinsdale Massachusetts On January 20, 1944, one of the worst tragedies the Army suffered in World War II took place in Italy on the Rapido River near the famous Mount Cassino in an effort to gain a stronghold in the taking of Rome. The central thrust by U.S. 36th Division commenced three hours after sunset on January 20. The lack of time to prepare meant that the approach to the river was still hazardous due to un-cleared mines and booby traps, and the highly technical business of an opposed river crossing lacked the necessary planning and rehearsal. Although a battalion of the 143rd Regiment was able to get across the Gari on the south side of San Angelo and two companies of the 141st Regiment on the north side, they were isolated for most of the time, and at no time was Allied armor able to get across the river, leaving them highly vulnerable to counterattacking tanks and self-propelled guns of General Eberhard Rodt's 15th Panzer Grenadier Division. The southern group was forced back across the river by mid-morning of January 21. Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Keyes, commanding II Corps, pressed Major General Fred L. Walker of 36th Division to renew the attack immediately. Once again the two regiments attacked but with no more success against the well dug-in 15th Panzer Grenadier Division: 143rd Regiment got the equivalent of two battalions across, but once again there was no armoured support, and they were devastated when daylight came the next day. The 141st Regiment also crossed in two battalion strength, and despite the lack of armoured support managed to advance 1 km (0.62 mi).

  • The Geology and Hydrogeology of the Cassino Plain (Central Apennines, Italy): Redefining the Regional Groundwater Balance
    Hydrogeology Journal https://doi.org/10.1007/s10040-019-01953-w REPORT The geology and hydrogeology of the Cassino plain (central Apennines, Italy): redefining the regional groundwater balance Michele Saroli1 & Michele Lancia2,3 & Marco Petitta4 Received: 12 September 2018 /Accepted: 18 February 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Cassino plain is a Quaternary intermontane basin of the central-southern Apennines, Italy. The plain has outstanding groundwater resources (total discharge of 23,000 L/s), thanks to the huge karst basins that surround the area. The area has been involved in many hydrogeological interests since the 1970s due to the economic importance and construction of the Western Campania Aqueduct for the water supply of Naples city and its hinterland. Despite its importance, the area lacks a common accepted hydrogeological conceptual model due to the complex geological setting. Two contrasting conceptual models already exist in the literature, with the first model based on a quantitative hydrogeological approach and the second on fieldwork. Through a literature analysis and further detailed field surveys, a new conceptual model is presented, acknowledging the thrust tectonics of the Apennine chain. The model unveils the most important hydrogeological issues of the area, serving as a useful tool for groundwater management, as well as for considering the changing anthropic and climate scenarios. In particular, the study redefines the hydrostructure extents and the groundwater flowpaths, characterizing the main water resources as Gari and Peccia springs. Keywords Conceptual model .

    Wisconsin Veterans Museum Research Center Transcript of an Oral History Interview with Leo Lang Infantry Communications, Army, World War II 1999 OH 49 OH 490 Lang, Leo (1915-2007). Oral History Interview, 1999. Approximate length: 161 minutes Contact WVM Research Center for access to original recording Abstract: In this oral history interview, Leo Lang, a native of Marathon, Wisconsin, discusses his four and a half year service in the US Army, 439 th Battalion, Anti-Aircraft Artillery during World War II. A graduate of UW-Stevens Point, Lang enlisted in June 1941 simultaneously arriving for basic training at Camp Wolters in Mineral Wells, Texas, and receiving his master’s degree at the university in Madison, courtesy of the services of a body-double sibling. Exhibiting an aptitude for communications, he was sent to radio school and upon graduation was selected to teach infantry communications, becoming chief instructor. Desiring change, his commanding officer directed Lang to anti-aircraft school at Camp Davis, Holly Ridge, North Carolina. Returning to Texas, the newly-married Lang learned aircraft identification for instruction purposes. He comments on the performance of the 442 nd Regiment Combat Team, observed while on maneuvers at Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. As a teacher imparting communication instruction for infantry, Lang observed his pupils: he decries ROTC training pre-war as not producing good officers, and found those coming out of Civilian Military Training Camps to be worse. Lang tells of the humorous way he courted “trouble”: how, through his voicing concern, he was assigned in succession to mess officer, and to headquarters battery as assistant communications officer.
