A figure of €11.1 million has been paid out so far through the programme By virtue of their size and passenger numbers, Cork and Shannon airports have never been eligible for such funding In light of the impacts of Covid-19, however, and taking account of the recommendations of the task force for aviation recovery, the Government has also commit- ted to providing Cork and Shannon airports with access to capital and operational supports of €321 million in 2021 under a Covid-19 regional airports programme The allocation to Shannon Airport, which will support the delivery of a broad range of projects at the airport, is in addition to the €6.1 million already approved for a significant hold baggage screening project for the airport in 2020 In addition to the projects announced, an application for funding in respect of a runway overlay project at Cork Airport is being assessed Given the costs involved, this project is sub- ject to appraisal under the public spending code Pending a satisfactory explanation, I hope to be in a position to formally approve funding of €10 million for the project in the coming weeks The Government recognises the importance of regional connectivity and the importance of our regional airports to the regions they serve It reacted immediately to the sudden announce- ment by Stobart Air that it was ceasing operations at the weekend My Department has initiated an emergency procurement process with a view to restoring air services linking Dublin with Donegal and Kerry airports 17/06/2021B00200An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: The Minister will get a chance to come back in His time us up; I am sorry 17/06/2021B00300Deputy Darren O’Rourke: I thank the Minister There is very serious frustration in the aviation sector with the Government Ground workers, airport employees, cabin crew and pi- lots feel abandoned by the Government and despair at the lack of a plan for their sector They recognise that Covid-19 is devastating but they have argued for the best of public health and public confidence in aviation. I have been critical of the Minister and his predecessor that they did not do enough to put systems in place to provide protections and confidence. It was hands off at all stages. Perhaps the position would not have been made better but the Government did not try Last November, I raised the need for a comparative study between antigen testing and PCR testing I had an exchange on this at the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications Networks We have the Ferguson report Yesterday, I asked who calls for such studies The House was told the Department, the Minister and the sector work together Deputy Duncan Smith asked if the Minister and Minister of State had asked for a pilot study We were told they had not I read an article in the Irish Independent today, which indicated that the Department had suggested a study Did the Minister, Minister of State and Department forcefully request

  • Rosa Katz: Oral History Transcript
    Rosa Katz: Oral History Transcript www.wisconsinhistory.org/HolocaustSurvivors/Katz. asp Name: Rachel (Rosa) Goldberg Katz (1924–2012) Birth Place: Lodz, Poland Arrived in Wisconsin: 1953, Oshkosh Project Name: Oral Histories: Wisconsin Survivors Rosa Katz of the Holocaust Biography: Rachel (Rosa) Goldberg Katz was born in Lodz, Poland, on May 6, 1924, to a well-to-do family with liberal Jewish beliefs. In 1935, her sister and brother-in-law immigrated to Palestine while the rest of the family remained in Poland. When the Germans occupied Lodz in 1939, 15-year-old Rosa was among the thousands of Jews crowded into the city's ghetto. Three years later, in July 1942, her mother was deported from the ghetto and never heard from again. In August 1944, the Lodz Ghetto was liquidated. Its starving residents, including Rosa, her father, brother, and sister-in-law, Hela, were all shipped to Auschwitz. There she was separated from her father and brother. She never saw them again. German officials mistakenly sent Rosa and hundreds of other Jewish women (instead of French prisoners) to work at the Krupp munitions factory in Berlin. For eight months, Rosa assembled delicate timepieces for German bombs. In March 1945, she was transferred to the death camp in Ravensbruck, Germany. The Swedish Red Cross liberated the camp within a month of her arrival. Its inhabitants were transported to Sweden where Rosa recuperated for several years. She married Bernard Katz there (also a survivor). In April 1948, they came to the U.S. Initially settling in North Carolina, the Katz family moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in 1953.

Welcome to the public hearing for the Productivity Commission inquiry into the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, which we will refer to as the DDA. My name is Helen Owens, I'm the presiding commissioner. On my left is my associate commissioner, Cate McKenzie. The hearing will have breaks for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. We will need to stick fairly closely to the timetable today, because we've got a lot of participants. On 5 February this year the government asked the commission to review the DDA and the Disability Discrimination Regulations 1996. The terms of reference for the inquiry ask us to examine the social impact of the DDA on people with disabilities and on the community as a whole. Among other things, the commission is required to assess the costs and benefits of the DDA and its effectiveness in achieving its objectives. We have already talked informally to a wide range of organisations and individuals. The purpose of this hearing today is to provide an opportunity for interested parties to discuss their submissions and their views on the public record. We will be holding hearings in Melbourne following the hearings today and tomorrow in Sydney.

    Caltrain Customer Experience Survey Market Research & Development March 2016 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Methodology 2 Executive Summary 4 Survey Findings 9 Service Ratings 9 Service Rankings 10 Communication Ratings 11 Customer Comfort/Enjoyment Ratings 12 Payment Ratings 13 Rankings (Communication, Customer Comfort/Enjoyment, Payment) 14 Value of Service 15 Use of TNCs 16 Electric Trains Amenity Ratings 17 Electric Trains Amenity Rankings 18 Ridership 19 Demographics 24 Questionnaire 30 Comments 36 Introduction The Caltrain Customer Experience Program was recently implemented to identify short-, mid- and long- range improvements in collaboration with the Citizens Advisory Committee. Part of this initiative also includes seeking input from the frequent, infrequent and non-riders through online, intercept and focus group studies that will guide Caltrain efforts in providing the ultimate customer experience. In this first online survey, Caltrain asked the general public to rate and identify priorities, and provide ridership and demographic information. This is not a statistically valid study but it’s the first step to help Caltrain’s improvement process. The results of this survey will inform the questions on the next statistically valid Customer Satisfaction Survey in June. The last study of this series will be a focus group in which Caltrain will test some of the possible improvements and ensure they make a positive impact on riders’ daily use of the system. 1 Methodology The study was developed and launched in Survey Monkey (an online survey tool) as an opt-in survey, meaning that customers (and the general public) could choose to click on the link and complete the survey.

  • Master Log of Questions & Answers Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Silver Line Project
    Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Silver Line Project Master Log of Questions & Answers (ID# 1; Received May 20, 2019; Answered May 21, 2019) Q: Why Diesel Train? Are there plans to convert to electric? Have you seen the Volkswagen scandal, I do not understand why diesel? I looked through the environmental impact and no mention? The train will go through neighborhoods. My only thought is diesel was a cheaper alternative. Diesel first The FLIRTs are driven by electric traction motors with power provided by the “Power Pack”. The Power Pack is a special car located in the middle of each trainset that can contain up to 4 diesel generators which provide the electricity used to drive the train. Because of this diesel-electric design, when the Trillium Line is eventually electrified, the FLIRTs can be easily converted to fully electric trains by removing the Power Pack car and installing pantographs. A: The selected vehicle is discussed in Section 2.3.2 of the FEIS/ROD. Vehicles operating in the Cotton Belt Corridor must be compliant with FRA requirements since the passenger rail will share much of the corridor with freight operations. As such, overhead catenary cannot be used as they are incompatible with freight clearances. Air Quality is discussed in Section 4.13 of the FEIS/ROD. The diesel engines will be compliant with EPA Tier 4 ultra-low emission standards. (ID# 2; Received May 20, 2019; Answered May 21, 2019) Q: Freight – I was told these trains might be used for freight. How can a potential commuter line be turned into freight? I do not want freight being shipped through my neighborhood.

  • The Story of My Encounters with the Historical Giants of Miami County, Indiana a Creative Project
    -. The Story of My Encounters with the Historical Giants of Miami County, Indiana A Creative Project (HONRS 499) by Holly A. Bakehorn Thesis Advisor: Dr. Daryl B. Adrian Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 1998 Expected Date of Graduation: May 1998 Purpose of Creative Project The purpose of my creative project evolves from my work as an intern at The Miami County Museum in Peru, Indiana. I was selected to write, edit, and produce five videos to be played alongside their coordinating permanent displays. The video scripts were limited to local subjects: the circus, the 1913 flood, the railroad, the Miami Indians (specifically Little Turtle and Frances Slocum), and Cole Porter. Each one gives a short history and their importance to the community. These videos will be used to educate Peru and its visitors about Miami County's rich historical heritage. - -. The Story of My Encounters with the Historical Giants of Miami County, Indiana In the summer of 1997, I accepted an internship at the Miami County Museum in Peru, IN. My assignment was to create, write, edit, and produce scripts for a series of five historical videos. I would be doing all the research and writing, plus choosing all the footage, photos and background music, while a professional person would be hired to do the actual filming. The museum has approximately a hundred visitors a week, and it was hoped that the new videos would help to increase this number. These videos were also important for the museum to update their displays and would considerably help the Miami County Museum compete with the technology of museums around the state.

  • Trains, Trump, Health, and the US Infrastructure by Charles Roebuck
    Charles Roebuck Trains, Trump, Health, and the U.S. Infrastructure President Trump wants to change the U.S. infrastructure and move toward a high-speed rail system. The need for change is now and China is willing to help, but will the U.S. government accept their help? People use public transit 35 million times each weekday, yet ridership is dropping in some places, including New York, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. Commuters are gravitating away from dated, unreliable systems. Forty percent of buses and 25% of rail transit are in marginal or poor condition, according to a government study. Experts argue President Trump should invest heavily in public transportation. "Building a new system of high speed rail in America will be faster, cheaper, and easier than building more freeways or adding to an already over-burdened aviation system - and everybody stands to benefit." President Obama, April 16, 2009 The environment has an impact on almost everything in our society. Especially, when it comes to the transportation industry in Europe and the United States. Trains emit carbon emissions into the environment, but the exact amount varies between the U.S and Europe. To understand the difference, we must first go back to the beginning before electrification. Steam trains were always a part of the railroad transportation systems in the U.S. and Europe. “...what thrills me about trains is not their size or their equipment but the fact that they are moving, that they embody a connection between unseen places.” ― Marianne Wiggins Coal was used to power these type of trains, but this caused an issue for the environment.
