Hawaii's imaginative industies

Alloha and welcome to Hawaii's website Hawaii's Visual World. CID ( "Creative Industry Division"), Department of Econmic Economic and Tourism (DBEDT), is the leading government organization focusing on boosting, promoting and speeding up the expansion of Hawaii's creativity cluster. The CID represents the cultural, art, musical, movie, publishing, digitally and new medias industry and supports initiative, political and infrastructural developments to increase the capacities of Hawaii's entrepreneurial creativity.

Composed of the Hawaii Film Office (HFO) and the Arts and Culture Development Branch (ACDB), the CID' s programming highlights form the foundation for the state' s position as a leading company in the world' s creativity industry. CID and DBEDT's Research and Economic Analysis Divison (READ) have since 2001 established, through methodologies and track record in 13 key areas of creativity, the foundation, emergent, declining and changing industries to lead the department in developing industry development efforts to drive industry inexorably.

Hawaii's creativity shows the vitality of the sector and positions the state as a leading player in the world' s creativity industry.

Are the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii going to explode? Collect the facts.

At first, there was a flow of volcanic eruption into the Hawaiian Big Island area. The U.S. Geological Survey released a nightly alert stating that the vulcano could become volatile as dropping volcanic rocks inside the caldera draw warm rocks nearer to the cooling ground water. The summit has already experienced smaller eruptions when rockfalls drop into the craters of the vulcano and form ashtrays.

Up until recently, the greatest dangers of the vulcano were the gradual flooding and inhalation of the dangerous sulphur dioxides from the smelter. More than a thousand persons have been displaced and at least 26 houses demolished since the eruption of the vulcano last weekend. Even drama videos showed how loud a parking vehicle gobbles up as it is driven by loud music.

When it retreats far enough, the pond moves below the groundwater level, enabling the penetration of moisture into the craters. Other stones that fall into the craters could then build a canopy over the vapour and finally build up enough force to cause the canopy to explode. Hawaii's famous soft volcanic ash is very seldom such a tragic event.

Since 1924, when a steam-driven explosion over two and a half week triggered more than 50 detonations, the summit has not experienced this type of blasting. Up to 14 tonnes of rocks were sent through the atmosphere by the explosion.
