  • North Atlantic Rail: Building a Just and Green Economy
    North Atlantic Rail: Building a Just and Green Economy North Atlantic Rail is a proposed high-performance rail network linking Boston with New York City and connecting all of the small and mid-sized urban centers across the 7-state New England - Downstate New York megaregion with these two global cities and with each other. High-performance rail provides fast, frequent, convenient, reliable and well-priced services for all users of the network. North Atlantic Rail will include a new 200-mph main trunk line, upgraded 120-mph regional rail lines, and upgraded 80-mph branch lines. The fundamental idea that underlies the North Atlantic Rail initiative is the creation of a new economic geography, a megaregional NETWORK that connects Boston and New York, the smaller cities of New England, Long Island and Downstate New York, and all of their suburbs, small towns and villages. Every node is amplified by connection to the larger network, and has its agglomeration advantages, its critical mass and economies of scale. This is not just a physical rail network; it is a set of rail-enabled economic relationships, for both firms and individuals, across the whole megaregional geography rather than just one of its metros, that can serve as a platform for economic transformation, for the creation of a just and green economy. The networked megaregion will make our personal networks larger and more dynamic, shaped by the churn of workers and firms across the whole economic geography. This churn of workers and firms is a primary way that work networks form. Here’s how it happens: A new work colleague will bring to a firm the relationships she had at her last firm at the other end of the megaregion.

    AMTRAK William J. Flynn 1 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001 Chief Executive Officer Email [email protected] Tel 202-906-3963 June 28, 2021 The Honorable Peter DeFazio The Honorable Sam Graves Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves: I am writing to express Amtrak’s concerns about reports that the House may include in the INVEST in America Act an amendment that would create a “North Atlantic Rail Compact” (NARC) with an ostensible charge to construct an ill-defined “North Atlantic Rail Network.” Amtrak is strongly opposed to the adoption of this amendment and the likely negative consequences of such a decision for the Northeast Corridor and the national rail network. Adopting the amendment would establish – without any hearings, committee consideration, studies or opportunity for those impacted by the proposal to be heard – support for an infeasible proposal, previously rejected because of the harm it would do to the environment, by an advocacy group called North Atlantic Rail (NAR) to build a new, up to 225 mph dedicated high-speed rail line between New York City and Boston. The dedicated high-speed rail line’s route (NAR Alignment) would not follow the existing Northeast Corridor (NEC) alignment that parallels Interstate 95. Instead, it would travel beneath the East River in a new tunnel; cross dense urban sections of Queens and Long Island to Ronkonkoma; turn north to Port Jefferson; traverse the Long Island Sound in a 16-mile tunnel to Stratford, Connecticut; and after passing through New Haven and Hartford, turn east across Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island to Providence, from which it would follow the existing NEC rail corridor to Boston.

  • Minding Our Minds During the COVID-19 These Can Be Difficult
    Minding our minds during the COVID-19 These can be difficult times for all of us as we hear about spread of COVID-19 from all over the world, through television, social media, newspapers, family and friends and other sources. The most common emotion faced by all is Fear. It makes us anxious, panicky and can even possibly make us think, say or do things that we might not consider appropriate under normal circumstances. Understanding the importance of Lockdown Lockdown is meant to prevent the spread of infection from one person to another, to protect ourselves and others. This means, not stepping out of the house except for buying necessities, reducing the number of trips outside, and ideally only a single, healthy family member making the trips when absolutely necessary. If there is anyone in the house who is very sick and may need to get medical help, you must be aware of the health facility nearest to you. Handling Social isolation Staying at home can be quite nice for some time, but can also be boring and restricting. Here are some ways to keep positive and cheerful. 1. Be busy. Have a regular schedule. Help in doing some of the work at home. 2. Distract yourself from negative emotions by listening to music, reading, watching an entertaining programme on television. If you had old hobbies like painting, gardening or stitching, go back to them. Rediscover your hobbies. 3. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids. 4. Be physically active. Do simple indoor exercises that will keep you fit and feeling fit.

  • Police Powers in the COVID-19 Context
    Police powers in the COVID-19 context This guidance note has been written by Ashley Chrystall, Wellington Community Justice Project, and covers information relating to making reports during the COVID-19 lockdown, police powers to enter your home and to stop you while you are outside or on the road, as well as powers of arrest. Making reports How do I report lockdown breaches? To report an individual or business breaching any of the current alert level restrictions, you can fill out the form on the Police website. If you have concerns regarding people who are not self-isolating when they should be, you can email the dedicated Ministry of Health email address. What can the police do if I report breaches during the COVID-19 lockdown? The police will educate anyone breaking lockdown rules and can enforce these rules if necessary (discussed below). Police will be patrolling streets with a focus on maintaining law and order and preventing harm. They will deal appropriately with anyone attempting to exploit the restrictions in place. During the lockdown, police have special powers available under various pieces of legislation, including the Health Act 1956, the Summary Offences Act 1981, and the Civil Defence Emergency Act 2002. Breach consequences include warnings through to prosecutions if necessary. If I see someone breaking the COVID-19 lockdown rules, should I handle it myself? If it is safe to do so, police advise having a polite conversation with the individual/s breaching lockdown restrictions, at a two metre distance, in the first instance. The best way to handle a breach of the COVID-19 lockdown is to contact the authorities and inform them of any breaches.

Simple Summary: Initial COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in the United Kingdom (23 March–12 May 2020) prompted many people to change their lifestyle. We explored the impact of this lockdown phase on pet dog welfare using an online survey of 6004 dog owners, who provided information including dog management data for the 7 days prior to survey completion (4–12 May 2020), and for February 2020 (pre-lockdown). Most owners believed that their dog’s routine had changed due to lockdown restrictions. Many dogs were left alone less frequently and for less time during lockdown and were spending more time with household adults and children.

Previous and posterior phases were compared, and the period was compared with the same period in 2019. A total of 191,738 advertisements were downloaded using the Instar Analytics application and analyzed using inferential statistics to observe the presence of health advertisements during the four study periods. It was observed that during the lockdown, there were more health advertisements than after, as well as during the same period in 2019, although health advertisements had the strongest presence during the pre-lockdown phase. The presence of most types of health advertisements also changed during the four phases of the study. We conclude that, although many Citation: Blanco-Herrero, D.; differences can be explained by the time of the year—due to the presence of allergies or colds, for Gallardo-Camacho, J.; Arcila-Calderón, C.
