Tsunami Earthquake!! Valparaiso

Since I was born my life has been connected to these seismic events. In fact, I literally received one. On March 28, 1965, Sunday, took place the great earthquake of that year. I had only two days old and my family was visiting in the maternity hospital Enrique Deformes (which now houses the National Congress building) when he fell relentlessly in this earthquake. My brother was just 14 years that he managed to get me and ran me into the arms between pieces of debris that rained down everywhere. Of course realize that my brother is my personal hero.

Along with this welcome and shake the past and most recently last five, 1971, 1973 (quasi-earthquake shaking), 1985 in Mendoza, Argentina. The same year in March, one famous for three minutes I missed because I was not in the country. Now that I think, five earthquakes is a fairly large number. However, if you ask most locals for over 35 years, everyone will tell you they have a similar number of earthquakes in the skin. Being

Chilean and have experienced some of these experiences seismic is a condition sine qua non , especially if you're in Buenos Aires, because we have suffered great and famous earthquakes. The strange thing is that there is not adequate information and good education about it, the locals are very ignorant and do not yet understand how to move our amphitheater of hills and plan.

seismic With my own history is obvious that I felt particularly drawn to the subject. A bit of fun and mostly because a lot of information needed to understand these events and to overcome the fear that I produced a child. Do not remember my birth in a conscious, but it sure made my nerves recorded the semi traumatically temblorcito making the child put me pale.

No way around it. We had the bad fortune to live in a coastal country that has itself just off the junction of two intercontinental plates: Nazca and continental. Nazca continental push towards getting at the point of earthquakes beneath it. Push and goes and makes the other twist in a clash of giants, in a struggle every day of every hour of every minute and the pressure is gathering and collecting, until one day a chunk gives way and we are left with heart in hand, trembling and uncertain security sitting in the living room of our house lit by lantern cracks in the walls of both the home and in our own resilience and security. That if we have the luck of getting the house together. Any technical or scientific explanation falls to the simplicity of your grandfather when I explained the seismic event: the earth settles, mijito, so moving.

Ok. Tatita. Then as it accommodates and thus moves (there's the problem, just moving) try to understand how it does in Valparaiso to add information to spend our data and experience and to begin to understand. I think passing the information can help everyone understand better where you live, and be clear that sooner or later it will move the soil, but will move differently depending on where you live in the city.

is not the same living on the hill that live in the plan, and on shaking this is law. The hills are mostly hard rock, their movement is mostly dry and hard vertical rather than horizontal movement. Great part of the city's architectural heritage is just in the hills. Saint Paul Anglican Church dates from 1858, which means it has resisted even the famous earthquake of 1906, mentioned by the Chronicle as a "two in one", only the second case it lasted two minutes. Obviously, the slopes should be considered, in some cases slip. However, for a city that is hanging this does not happen as often as you might expect. Just look at the amount of slender stilt houses that defy vertigo and the seismic history of the city, to realize that many have resisted incredibly, at least its good pair of earthquakes. It does not mean you have to rely only means that earthquakes on the hills are much more confident that the lower part of the city.

plan or center is the problem. Although only 10% of city dwellers living in the bottom, we have all the commercial activity concentrated at that point, and an important heritage assets. Of course, the name that people know his heart "The Plan" is closely related to our culture seismic. Many believe that the center is named that way because it is the flat, but the truth is to be the "Plan for Reconstruction of Valparaiso, ordered by President Pedro Montt after the earthquake of 1906. Valparaiso considering an important place and the destruction of the most expensive neighborhood in the city, known as the neighborhood of Almendral, ordered the local plan and adopted it as the name for the flat part also of the city.

sandy soil, fill, largely reclaimed from the sea is not the best place for buildings to withstand an earthquake. Technically, the phenomenon that occurs in the soil is known as liquefaction. This means that in an earthquake all this filling sand stirred become as inconsistent as water. Take a pan, fill it with sand and shake. See how sand jumping and moves without any consistency. Once the tremor, the ground is getting a new consistency rearranged. This means that while shaking in the plan, under our buildings and streets have something vibrating acuosamente that causes suffering to our buildings. The movement is seen mostly in the city center is a horizontal wave.

liquefaction Sample (Material: Arena)

I remember very well the interesting National Geographic documentary on earthquakes in the Chilean coast. I remember at the time caused quite a stir in the simulation a major earthquake in the city. The mayor at the time even accused to sue the important and famous chain, without taking into account the important information that was delivered there. Had served to the subject of debate and social education, for which there was expressed very well help you understand what the real constant danger of earthquakes in the area.

It is time to re-take a look at education. Not in terms of drills, but total plan. If we live in an earthquake, we should be most experts in the field. All of us. Receive quality information from our early childhood. Theoretical, technical and practical. In a simple way provided by the fact that they are suffering but constant earthquakes tremors. It is a subject almost daily and would greatly help us manage to overcome the terror and panic and prevent major disasters caused by the mythology that exists in this regard.

Regarding earthquakes always be prepared and ready should be our slogan. Since we live here and we love living here must understand our own soil, from time to time, and fits ... ... moves

Carnavalesco

I have always enjoyed Valparaíso Cultural Carnival. Since its inception. Although it was an official activity, not something born in the city itself or its people, I've always really liked and I have not lost any.

Also, I had always wondered where that amount came from people who participated, moving, acting. I mean common people of the city, apart from the artists who appeared suddenly acting or dancing in the parade. Simply lovely and auspicious. In particular the number of young people involved and citizen participation achieved.

But how did it happen?? Where he enrolled or where people received the invitation to participate??

Months before the carnival I saw a small poster where invited to join the various parades of parades, but I found very few and very small and I do not really stopped to read them. Shortly after my daughter would receive the invitation to join in a completely casual encounter with a friend and the invitation. Joining her

we begin to find out about the organization. Valparaiso divided into sectors and disciplines such as dance, dance theater and theater. Each group will begin training in various activities related to street carnival. If you do not want to be a dancer can learn to be makeup or costume or make structures and cars and music. Managers and monitors many guys who have experience starting to teach others. Merging different social classes, dynamic body language, discussion of the concept. A big surprise.

Watch a video of the moments before the parade

was a tremendous experience. All groups operating in the same way and all groups were composed of very young people who are changing face to the work of the carnival, especially for identity that begins to appear strong. The use of boxes of apples to dance, music, diving in Buenos Aires culture and Chilean roots.

When everything is even more a surprise for the participants certificates specifying the number of hours of preparation and work in the global study, document issued by the National Cultural Council and signed by the Minister of the portfolio.

I wonder, Why do all these activities and how they have been under development have not been publicized more?? Why no more posters and more information on the street for people to join?? They can go everyone, not only young people can also go all sorts of people, the whole family and participate in an activity together, you just have to commit to attending rehearsals and not to fail the day of presentation.

True Cultural Carnival is also a party issue and present a paradigm. While there are people involved and prepared to rehearse with great discipline, most of the public attending is out of context, especially on the biggest stages arranged in the streets. The presentations are quite good, but the mass does not work in a cultural festival, will have fun in the mega activities but alcohol consumption and use of the streets to urinate quite shocking and insurance is a point to solve. If you do not learn self-control is a shame because they're going to put a lot of police presence and prohibitions far tougher and shut the liquor store and control the sale of beer and drinks on the street. It's a shame, but what is gained when you behave irresponsibly. Not in Rio de Janeiro mean both on the streets. There are also many more restrooms prepared everywhere.

Watch a video of the parade in action.

Yet the celebration of the carnival will be positioned and growing. We empower the city that charming bohemian and artistic, but still a very local party and was intended to attract tourists. Is becoming necessary to extend the information to other places to attract more audience. There are many people in Santiago and Viña del Mar has good information. I want to see or know that there is enough information on activities in Patagonia and San Pedro de Atacama. That would ensure a flow of interesting tourist passengers would stay, eat and undertake activities in the city. A good hook to attract resources to Valparaiso. If the effect has not been as expected since no fault of the party, it is because of misinformation and little policy aggressive to attract tourists. Of course that information should be in the places where our target audience is.

Personally I really enjoy this great party and all related activities are really interesting and photo exhibitions, art, theater, lectures, etc. The production is done, people are already involved. Just need some details and really refine further promote this event.

I'm waiting for the next carnival. Leo Silva

Goodbye 2009 - Welcome 2010

And he went a year!! Although

Ventures Valparaíso celebrates its first birthday of life, always in this time one begins to take stock of what was the year, a retrospective insight, see the good and bad, take a couple of accounts, pull the line pa 'sum (or pa' subtraction ??) uffff! Just this year there are passages that botaría away by burying them in the deepest oblivion, and other times they would on the pedestal of the achievements and successes. One was just starting to publish frequently in this blog. So I love to give a peek at what a little writing and reviewing some of the texts.

I think it was in April when I started this adventure to edit the "Ventures in Valparaiso and inviting them to walk through the city, setting the focus on some points which photographer or topics that I found interesting. Usually, and this way of confession, I am quite happy with the items, especially with titles and endings. It must be because my previous activity and the synthesis of a title seems so fascinating and a good finish line I am very glad. Well, I think I've got two in most texts. At least I like a lot. I have discovered a joyful article writer and not suffering.

generally write about Valparaiso, or rather, on some recurring themes in the city has caused me great pleasure. Everyone knows that particularly enjoy my work and my walks in Buenos Aires. Wanderings of writing this ... it was like go on walks but chewing the content you can get caught in the daily reading of the city. However, my aspirations are still modest. I do not intend to appear as a strong supporter of the city and its heritage or as someone who wants to climb to the position of the solutions. Actually, my idea is still put some emphasis where I think it should be put, but I do as a citizen, like any Buenos Aires, sometimes putting in writing the blog and what you hear on the street views in everyday conversations lift, murmur you get while enjoying the view through the glass of the bus.

The most exciting of all and what I expected was generated great feedback. That feedback with the view that some will leave you and turning your paper in a panel discussion in which they want to put a few ashtrays and some cafes, some in silence only to promote the space for conversation and discussion. Just

is my hobby to read and reread these comments that are left hanging in the articles. I'm surprised they still appear new comments on some of the earliest published articles.

Some of the most beloved texts and I can not resist the temptation to do this but my other children are bothered a little:

Fair Argentina Av.

Aesthetics of Ruin (A concept which I want to go deeper)

The Blessed Cursed Mall (Just enjoyed this title, but the article gave me lots of work)

Counterpoint (with videos including, but not cause much comment. What I claim as audiovisual) Temporary

(Memories of the rain and Dreaming Soul Child)

Lift Dilemma (Descend or Ascend) . Another title that I enjoyed and a good seal text. Grassroots

How it is cooked? (Great time for comments and responses that generated a mini debate on article)

Care 'Pig. (I love complete)

thanks to all who have stopped a moment to read these articles and who have stopped giving their opinion with their lines to the steps of the walk.

While the first article would invite all to walk with me and together make these Valparaíso Ventures, now I want to invite us to sit there, on any sidewalk. We sit down to watch the scenery in silence, to make everyone his account of the walk, take a breath and wait for 12 midnight.

After we know ... we will continue walking and doing these

Wanderings ... ... Valparaiso. Happy

2010. Leo Silva

Plan Course (Sailing to the block)

One of the major problems has been Valparaiso in its tourism development is to have a specific marketing plan. A plan that systematically, is geared to position the city in the world as a desirable destination to visit. So far there was no clear definition of this point. Definitely, the marketing for the city authorities was as complicated as Mandarin Chinese. The proof of this were the constant "steering shock", the absence of clear direction, the north and no few ideas.

Until finally has set a plan, a way forward in the chart, with clear and precise. A port where they arrived last and how to reach him. Just

that is what "Plan Rumbo, a plan designed or design process, a search of the strengths of the city, a look at marketing, brand building efficient, finally a strategy.

To achieve this, has called people understood in the art that has worked hard and successfully in places like Barcelona, \u200b\u200bQuito, Buenos Aires to name a few.

know what??

I have no doubt that the plan is well developed, efficient and successful. I just have a great doubt, great fear, a hint of failure, rather than as Buenos Aires I know we have to improve on par with this ambitious plan.

When something starts, everyone should do their job and caring than their fair share. Foreign consultants will do their part, and believe me they will do very well, but they can not care for the city to run and is about; that depends on other entities such as municipal and regional government.

Where does the fear? It works more or less well. When making a marketing plan and advertising campaigns are the product advertised must be very firm and very precise in execution of the concept because everything in the end will go to him.

Marketing strategies and communications and advertising campaigns seek persuasively that people try the product "market." That is their only function. Some say they do we consume products and services or visit places, but it is not. All they do is to test a specific market a product. If the product tested is good and better than similar competition, everything is fine and is sure to win a market that is loyalty. But if the tested product does not meet the expectations generated by the communication plan, the result is terrible, because the market proved it punishes him consuming no more, in other words, it achieves the opposite effect to that intended, because loyalty is also to similar (never should have tested, which consumed much better).
But Valparaiso is not a cereal or drink or toothpaste, can tell you. Do not buy in a supermarket.

Whatever. It works exactly the same.

Rumbo If the Plan succeeds in doing what it says it will do, the city must be the place that people expect to find, with the attractions offered to see and experience.

is not the responsibility of the Plan Rumbo if the city is positioning itself as a tourist destination and arrival, passengers see as above that of the elevators of the city there are a few running and others are falling apart. If the Unesco sector as mentioned there is no clear vision of what asset protection, if the aforementioned European influence its milestones are closed and ignored, if you still have the problem (to my taste) the dangerousness false torts in the city, where cultural events in some cases are still amateurs, if interesting neighborhoods that are left out (the neighborhood of Almendral for example), if the identity is not strengthened and if systematically destroy important buildings to build new modern buildings outside the interesting concept and remain dirty and walls plastered with posters advertising bad taste ... this responsibility obviously it's up to others.

You can say, and what if all the passengers and they will come and not twice.

Big mistake. Passengers make contact with others and to report about his experience in the city. There are Internet forums where travelers pass data and advise each others. The cruise is totally independent from the companies that put together trips where passengers further consult on the various voyages of ships in the world. I know very well, I have had several passengers who have placed me with this simple way of passing the data. Some already were, say if your experience was good or bad. Therefore, if you build an expectation interesting to visit the city and it does not comply, rest assured that the punishment will be noticed that way. You have to know how foreigners do things, knowing the nature of the market that aims to attract and how it communicates, says and punished. The Chileans we are lazy in that sense, but Foreigners are not and do not hesitate to act if something seems wrong. Rumbo

The Plan has not yet begun their attack strategy and communications. Just prepare weapons and although I'm not inside of this plan, I can imagine being at the stage of information, analysis and processing. But also the other branches should be preparing weapons and reviewing their management to see how they will solve the economic problems we have and above all, generated from viewing and change in management.

do I know this has not happened yet??

Very simple. Cerro Concepción is the center of the neighborhood assets. The area of \u200b\u200brestaurants serving passengers who stay in Cerro Alegre. Today, and for a month or so, the hill is undergoing work on the public highway. Right at the start of the season. This season is not a new phenomenon, is already known to all who are involved in the work of tourism. Begins in October and ends in April. There is a great season where you can make this work, where weekday that their streets are empty and free of tourists. Why just waited at the start of high season to make this work??

Many of the restaurants and businesses in the area virtually survive and resist the offseason hoping the long-awaited high and drilled them right there in the streets, they put trucks, teachers, semi-heavy machinery, land rises, closing streets. Just when we begin to spend with tourists on a hike, where they began to get transport to restaurants and hotels.

Work moreover there are no assets test. Pavers are removed and become to put in any form, are designed Arreglito pretty unresponsive to what the place is, cobblestone streets are paved, are made of new sidewalks. Why

works department of the municipality authorized this job at this time?? Not consulted the Heritage department or the department of tourism??

Why in these works there is no asset care experts advising what to do and how to do?? Elsewhere would have to spot the stones and created a map to replace them as they were.

That's what worries me. That lack of vision that is subject to final testing when the Plan Rumbo start shooting your target or goal. They are very professional, assertive shoot. Believe me they will, I think they will. What worries me is whether the city will be prepared, if the elevators - to anyone who belongs to administration - Will be working, if we stop being parochial in managing the care of assets, if left to act as amateurs in the protection of important areas, if the dates are demarcated to make renovations, etc. Rumbo

Plan navigates to the block and display candles and rags while preparing artillery.

May the other hand do its work, to prepare and meet expectations. Leo Silva
