Every FALL 2015 day the city is changing: historic buildings are being renovated, subways are being put in, decrepit apartments are being torn down. The city – like a child – is always growing.

As Italo Calvino once wrote, “The city, however, does not Editor-in-Chief Melanie Breault tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the Managing Editor of Content poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls.” Melissa Plaut Our program, like any city, has gone through some changes this year.

  • Hyperloop - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 1042 AM
    Hyperloop - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)42 AM Hyperloop A Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and freight transportation, first used to describe an open-source vactrain design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX.[1] Hyperloop is a sealed tube or system of tubes with low air pressure through which a pod may travel substantially free of air resistance or friction.[2] The Hyperloop could convey people or objects at airline or hypersonic speeds while being very energy efficient.[2] This would drastically reduce travel times versus trains as well [2] as planes over distances of under approximately 1,500 Concept art of Hyperloop inner workings kilometres (930 miles).[3] Elon Musk first publicly mentioned the Hyperloop in 2012.[4] His initial concept incorporated reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on air bearings driven by linear induction motors and axial compressors.[5] The Hyperloop Alpha concept was first published in August 2013, proposing and examining a route running from the Los Angeles region to the San Francisco Bay Area, roughly following the Interstate 5 corridor. The Hyperloop Genesis paper conceived of a hyperloop system that would propel passengers along the 350-mile (560 km) route at a speed of 760 mph (1,200 km/h), allowing for a travel time of 35 minutes, which is considerably faster than current rail or air travel times. Preliminary cost estimates for this LA–SF suggested route were included in the white paper—US$6 billion for a passenger-only version, and US$7.5 billion for a somewhat larger-diameter version transporting passengers and vehicles.[1] (Transportation analysts had doubts that the system could be constructed on that budget.

  • Journey to the Past Journey to the Past Background Information for Teachers
    JOURNEY TO THE PAST JOURNEY TO THE PAST BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS Public Transportation — transportation that charges a set fare, runs on fixed routes, and is available to the public — began in New York City in 1827 with the introduction of the Omnibus, a carriage that could carry about twelve people and was pulled by a horse. Passengers climbed aboard through a back door and paid a fare of about twelve cents. The omnibuses primarily traveled below 14th street in Manhattan. They were slow and bumpy, and the fare was still high for many city residents. As the city grew, vehicles got bigger to accommodate more passengers, became faster by running on rails, and routes got longer as people moved further away from lower Manhattan. Horses were by far the main source of power for moving people and goods through most of the nineteenth century. In New York City there were well over 150,000 working horses, all needing food, water and housing. In 1872 there was a horse flu that swept across the country and made millions of horses sick and unable to perform their duties. People realized that it did not make sense to rely on one form of power alone for transportation. As the population in Manhattan spread to communities across the rivers in Brooklyn and The Bronx, and the City of New York consolidated the five boroughs in 1898, the need for reliable transportation grew. Technological advances allowed engineers to leave behind horse power in favor of steam and electricity. Public transportation like trolleys and elevated trains moved millions of people each day in and out of the heart of the city where jobs were concentrated, helping to strengthen the commercial and business life of the city, as well as develop outlying residential neighborhoods where people lived.
