Noticias Caracol, Noticias RCN and the media construction of disaster of geological and hydrometeorological nature
Full text linkilustraciones, diagramas, mapasEste trabajo analiza la cobertura telenoticiosa de riesgos y desastres de carácter geológico e hidrometeorológico en las emisiones centrales de Noticias Caracol y Noticias RCN, los noticieros de mayor audiencia en la televisión colombiana de señal abierta. En este tipo de investigaciones se ha avanzado muy poco en el contexto colombiano. Se hace entonces una aproximación a una muestra entre marzo de 2017 y febrero de 2018, basada en un análisis de contenido en combinación con abordajes de la gestión del riesgo de desastres, la circulación de saberes, la sociología del riesgo y otros campos y subcampos. Esto deja ver dos noticieros que se ocupan mucho de las emergencias y el sufrimiento, pero muy poco de los riesgos y de la prevención, algo más notorio en Noticias RCN que en Noticias Caracol. Se hace también un análisis cualitativo a una muestra sobre la avenida torrencial de Mocoa (31-03-2017) y el sismo de México (19-09-2017), con elementos del contrato de lectura de Eliseo Verón, de la circulación de saberes, de la comunicación del riesgo y de los estudios de la relación entre comunicación y cultura, entre otros campos y subcampos. Dicho análisis señala que hay pocas narrativas de enganche sobre las causas y las responsabilidades humanas: es el reconocimiento en el drama y la empatía lo que proponen predominantemente ambos noticieros, un poco más Noticias Caracol que Noticias RCN. Este estudio invita a tener nuevos enfoques para entender el contexto mediático y sociocultural de la gestión del riesgo de desastres en el ámbito colombiano. (Texto tomado de la fuente)This work analyses the news coverage of risks and disasters of a geological and hydrometeorological nature in the central broadcasts of Noticias Caracol and Noticias RCN, the newscasts with the largest audience on Colombian open-signal television. Very little progress has been made in this type of research in the Colombian context. An approximation is then made to a sample between March 2017 and February 2018, based on a content analysis vii in combination with approaches to disaster risk management, circulation of knowledge, sociology of risk and other fields and subfields. This reveals two newscasts that deal a lot with emergencies and suffering, but very little with risks and prevention, something more evident in Noticias RCN than in Noticias Caracol. A qualitative analysis is also made of a sample on the torrential avenue of Mocoa (31-03-2017) and the earthquake in Mexico (09- 19-2017), with elements of the reading contract of Eliseo Verón, of circulation of knowledge, risk communication and studies of the relationship between communication and culture, among other fields and subfields. This analysis indicates that there are few engaging narratives about human causes and responsibilities: recognition in the drama and empathy are predominantly proposed by both newscasts, a little more in Noticias Caracol than in Noticias RCN. This study invites to have new approaches to understand the media and sociocultural context of disaster risk management in the Colombian sphere.DoctoradoDoctor en Ciencias Humanas y SocialesÁrea Curricular de Ciencias Humanas y Sociale
Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

Emmett is considered to be the author of the antebellum song "Dixie," written in 1859, which became the unofficial song of the Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. He was born in Mount Vernon in 1815 and taught himself the fiddle, and later became associated with minstrel shows and helped to define that genre. Minstrel shows traveled around the United States, presenting skits and musical performances. Emmett also composed many other songs, including "Old Dan Tucker," "Turkey in the Straw," and "The Blue Tail Fly." He died in 1904

Meet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree
No full textMeet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree. It tells a timeless story of the romance and marriage between an American Armenian girl and an immigrant who survived the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Turkey. In the aftermath of the Genocide from the 20s through the early 70s, the couple and their three children become vivid, quintessentially American characters, only for tragedy to find them again, echoing the staggering losses of 1915. The cover painting with its frayed, whitewashed frame is by the author’s wife, Jeanette Arax Melnick, and the novel is based partly on the lives of her family. Combining history and fictionalized memoir, The Ash Tree is an important, beautifully written novel of survival, new life, and heartbreak. Available from independent bookstores, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com. Further information at www.danielmelnick.com. Price: $25. ISBN: 9780981854762
