Artificial islands
An artificial island is constructed rather than formed naturally. There are several methods to create artificial islands including expanding existing islets, constructing on reefs or amalgamating natural islets. Artificial islands are constructed for urban development, industry, infrastructure like ports and airports, recreation, and resource extraction like oil drilling. They are designed considering factors like water depth, waves, climate, foundations, and environmental impacts. The construction process involves preparing the seabed, placing precast piles, compacting soil, adding surrounding rock barriers, and allowing construction to begin.
Quincy Smelter Complex | A Maritime Cultural Landscape
The Quincy Smelter Complex in Hancock, Michigan was an important site for copper smelting from 1898 to 1971. Located on land created from stamp sands dumped into Portage Lake, the original smelter opened in 1898 with four furnaces. It was continuously expanded until difficulties arose in 1913. The smelter closed in 1971 due to environmental regulations. In 1986, the area was designated a Superfund site due to concerns over heavy metal runoff. The EPA remediated contaminated areas by capping slag piles and shoreline. The site is now owned by the Keweenaw National Historical Park, which plans to transfer it to the National Park Service.

ESTC 2011 Presentation by Scott Liggett, Beach RenourishmentThe International Ecotourism Society (TIES)
This presentation was given at the 2011 Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It summarized the Town of Hilton Head Island's beach management program, which includes regular beach monitoring, renourishment projects using nearby sand sources, and stabilizing structures. The program has widened beaches, increased recreation areas, and protected development from erosion at a total cost of $40 million. Future projects aim to maintain current beach conditions with smaller volumes of sand rather than continual widening.Jamaica bay resiliency

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
