NYC Transit Crews fanned out along segments of 14 subway lines this past weekend to perform heavy duty maintenance and upgrades to signals, stations, tracks and other subway components. This work helps to improve service by increasing the reliability of the subway infrastructure.
Along the Queens Blvd E F M R corridor, crews replaced track and other components that were past their useful life. Among those components were the installation of new track tie blocks with eco-friendly EKKI Hilti ties. Crews also installed Resilient Faster Track Plates which help absorb and disperse the load of the train. These track enhancements will make for a smoother, more reliable ride along the corridor.
This work is funded by the MTA’s Capital Program which helps prioritize the investments that will be essential to renew, enhance, and expand the system to meet the changing needs of the region, its economy, and its residents.
During current 2010-2014 Capital Program we’ve bought new subway cars, new commuter railroad cars, new local buses, and new express buses. We installed more modern signals for faster and better rides. We’re building new rail lines and connections that will serve New York for generations to come. And after Superstorm Sandy ravaged our network, we committed nearly $1 billion to fix the damage and fortify against future storms. With a fully-funded 2015-2019 Capital Program, we’ll continue making our system more resilient against big storms. We’ll bring Positive Train Control—a state-of-the-art signal system—to Metro-North and the LIRR. We’ll continue introducing new routes for Select Bus Service, which uses off-board fare collection, low-floor, high capacity buses, and dedicated bus lanes to cut travel times by nearly 20 percent. We’ll replace 86 miles of subway track with safer, smoother track. And we’ll complete hundreds of similar projects that keep our customers safe and on time. These types of projects may not be glamorous, but together with the normal replacement of our trains and buses, they are the key to moving 8.7 million people every day, safely and reliably.

The Frecce Tricolori (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfrettʃe trikoˈloːri]; literally "Tricolour Arrows"), officially known as the 313° Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale (PAN) Frecce Tricolori ("313th Acrobatic Training Group, National Aerobatic Team (PAN) Frecce Tricolori"), is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force. Based at Rivolto Air Base, province of Udine, it was created on 1 March 1961 as a permanent group for the training of Air Force pilots in air acrobatics.[1]
The Tricolour Arrows replaced unofficial teams that had been sponsored by various commands starting in the early 1930s.[2] The team flies the Aermacchi MB-339-A/PAN, a two-seat fighter-trainer craft capable of 898 km/h at sea level.[2][3] With ten aircraft, nine in close formation and a soloist, they are the world's largest acrobatics patrol, and their flight schedule, comprising about twenty acrobatics and about half an hour, made them the most famous in the world.[4] It is one of national symbols of Italy.
Formation
During the performances the formation of the acrobatic patrol is usually composed of 9 aircraft, called "Pony", each labeled with a number ranging from 1 to 10.[18][19] The name "Pony" was coined by the then Captain Zeno Tascio to remember the horse of Francesco Baracca[20] which is the sign of the 4th Wing, at the time 4th Airbase who was already preparing to take over the task PAN for the 1961. Depending on the needs of the Department, aircraft can also be 11 in total, thus including the figure of the acrobatic training manager:
Pony 0 - Commander
Pony 1 - Head of Formation
Pony 2 - 1° Left Domestique
Pony 3 - 1° Right Domestique
Pony 4 - 2° Left Domestique
Pony 5 - 2° Right Domestique
Pony 6 - 1° Tail light
Pony 7 - 3° Left Domestique
Pony 8 - 3° Right Domestique
Pony 9 - 2° Tail light
Pony 10 - Soloist
Pony 11 - Acrobatic Training Supervisor
Pony 12 - Pilot in Training
Pony 13 - Pilot in Training
Pony 14 - Pilot in Training
Pony 15 - Pilot in Training
Pony 16 - Pilot in Training

Frecce Tricolori (italienisch für Dreifarbige Pfeile) sind eine Kunstflugstaffel der italienischen Luftwaffe, die 1961 als 313º Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico aufgestellt wurde. Die Staffel ist auf dem Militärflugplatz Rivolto bei Udine stationiert und erhielt am 1. Juli 1961 den heutigen Namen: 313º Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico - Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale (PAN) “Frecce Tricolori”.
Der Ursprung des Kunstflugteams reicht bis in die 1920er Jahre zurück. Bei einem Besuch in Großbritannien hatten einige hohe Fliegeroffiziere die Anfänge des Formationskunstflugs kennengelernt. Der Befehl zur Gründung einer Kunstflugstaffel ging an Oberst Rino Corso Fougier in Udine. Er gilt als Vater des italienischen Formationskunstflugs und prägte maßgeblich den Ausbildungsstandard der Militärpiloten.
Die erste Fünfer-Kunstflugstaffel seines 1. Geschwaders (1º Stormo) war in Campoformido stationiert. Die erste Staffel erschien am 8. Juni 1930 bei der 1ª Giornata Aerea dell’Ala in Rom als offizieller Repräsentant der italienischen Luftwaffe.[1] In dieser Geburtsstunde zeigten sie mit sieben Jagddoppeldeckern vom Typ Fiat CR.20 ihr erstes Programm. Die 2ª Giornata Aerea dell’Ala 1932 zeigte mit Doppeldeckern vom Typ Breda Ba.19 ihr Programm. 1936 erhielten die „Frecce“ die Fiat CR.32.
Nach der Unterbrechung durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg begannen sie erneut mit Düsenflugzeugen das Formationskunstflugtraining. Die Teams Cavallino Rampante („Aufbäumendes Pferdchen“), Getti Tonanti („Donnernde Jets“), Tigri Bianche („Weiße Tiger“), Lancieri Neri („Schwarze Lanzenreiter“) und die Diavoli Rossi („Rote Teufel“) wurden bekannt.
Die erste wirkliche italienische Kunstflugstaffel wurde vom 4º Stormo aufgestellt. Als erste Einheit mit den Doppelrumpfjägern de Havilland D.H.100F.B.52 bildeten die Piloten des Geschwaders 1954 das erste italienische Kunstflug-Jet-Team mit dem Namen „Cavallino Rampante“. Mit der Republic F-84G starteten die „Getti Tonanti“ als Nachfolger der Staffel „Cavallino Rampante“. Der Fliegerfilm I quattro del getto tonante („Die vier donnernden Jets“) wurde mit dem Team gedreht. Die 51ª Aerobrigata übernahm 1955 mit dem Team „Tigri Bianche“ die Funktion der offiziellen Kunstflugstaffel der italienischen Luftwaffe, geflogen mit F84G Thunderjets. 1956 flog wieder das 4° Stormo mit neuen Canadair F-86 Sabre Mk4[2]. Das 6° Stormo flog als „rote Teufel“ („Diavoli Rossi“) die Republic F84F Thunderstreaks erstmals am 19. Mai 1957 auf dem Flughafen Turin-Caselle. 1958 wurde die 2ª Aerobrigata mit dem Namen „Lancieri Neri“ aufgestellt. Die sechs Piloten flogen eine F-86 Sabre.
Das Generalstab der italienischen Luftwaffe entschloss sich Ende 1960, ein eigenes Kunstflugteam aufzubauen, das nur noch in der Nebenrolle als leichte Jagdbomberstaffel zur Verfügung stehen sollte. Mit dieser Aufgabe wurde die 313º Gruppo betraut.

Le attività illegali sono state e sono una componente essenziale del sistema di impresa e di potere di Berlusconi: sono andate dai legami con la mafia( i rapporti organici di Dell’Utri con le famiglie mafiose sono inconfutabili), all’associazione nella P2 e pertanto con i servizi deviati e le istituzioni asservite, alla corruzione, allo sfruttamento delle gnocche, all’intrigo, al riciclaggio, alla frode e al falso, al ricatto, all’evasione. Fin dalle origini, quindi costituendone la genesi, ha frequentato il reato.
Il suo impero è una sorta di mostruoso gigante che, mentre mostra un piede alla luce, ha tenuto e tiene l’altra gamba ben affondata nel fango. Allorchè tutte le coperture e le connivenze stavano per saltare, ha pensato di creare uno schieramento politico di cui fosse il padrone.
In un Paese normale ciò sarebbe stato immediatamente considerato un delirio grottesco e avrebbe segnato la sua definitiva rovina, ma in Italia, il Paese in cui una volta condannati non si va in prigione ma in Parlamento è stato consentito all’antistato di prendere lo stato per esautorarlo.
Egli ha saturate le istituzioni dei suoi avvocati e dei suoi dipendenti d’azienda e di famiglia, mentre le vaste schiere di giornalisti al soldo e della natura dei lacchè manipolavano e manipolano l’informazione; nel contempo i pochi liberi rischiano il carcere. Il cavaliere misteriosamente ed opacamente arricchito ha costituito un regime poggiato sull’autoritarismo e la mafiosità, mostruosa e inedita creatura del relativismo, del marasma, dell’ebetismo e la cui unica motivazione è la perpetuazione del suo potere personale corrotto.
La supposta democrazia del voto di Berlusconi è una beffa ai sudditi regrediti allo stato di gonzi dallo sculettio mediatico, Berlusconi occupa ogni spazio istituzionale, ogni pubblico servizio con i suoi servi per proseguire i suoi affari sporchi e restare immune alle regole e alle responsabilità per la loro violazione, il reato per Berlusconi è una necessità vitale, Berlusconi sarebbe un cantante da balera senza i miliardi accumulati in buona parte con mezzi illegali e opachi, la cosa pubblica è per lui il suo privato.
Il Paese è la sua bottega, tutti gli italiani li considera suoi dipendenti, le sue proprietà e i suoi affari personali devono avere prevalenza sull’interesse pubblico e il bene comune s’identifica con le fortune personali del signore: un signore benedetto dal tedesco vestito d’oro che accoglie con "cioia" il suo pesare con il tallone il diritto dei cittadini. Dunque occorre che la costituzione sia resa inefficace, le leggi siano piegate al suo tornaconto, la giustizia sia messa al suo servizio, l’unico pensiero consentito sia il suo panegirico, altre ipotesi sarebbero sopruso, eversione, blasfemia, perversità, "comunismo". Gli uomini giusti sono, pertanto, lo stalliere mafioso, il Ghedini, l’unico avvocato in ogni tempo e latitudine che invece di difendere il proprio cliente con le memorie difensive in tribunale, lo fa intoccabile con i decreti legge, l’Emilio Fede e la Vespa, i mezzani al cospetto dei quali una schiava del sesso rumena è pura come una Giovanna D’Arco.
Dicevamo che in ogni altro luogo la trovata del cavaliere sarebbe stata una follia, ma il nostro è il Paese in cui è rimasta la cultura fascista e alligna quella mafiosa, dove si resta soggiogati dalla furbizia e la valentia di godere ed usare del potere incostituzionale e delinquenziale di violare impunemente le leggi dello stato e le regole della convivenza civile e democratica.
E’ il Paese in cui tutti gli stragisti, i terroristi protetti dai servizi deviati e dalla mala politica, benchè responsabili di centinaia di orrendi delitti, sono impuniti e liberi.
E’ il Paese dove un personaggio per sette volte presidente del consiglio è stato giudicato colluso con la mafia, benchè, forse per rispettare ed ossequiare un potente, le sue responsabilità siano state fatte fermare in tempo per la prescrizione del reato; e tuttavia, non essendo per nulla contemplata nell’allegro e scioperato Paese la responsabilità politica, siede a vita nel senato della Repubblica, è mancato poco non fosse eletto alla seconda carica dello stato e non ha mai dismesso le buone frequentazioni con le gerarchie ecclesiastiche.
E’ il Paese dove gli scandalosi delitti e reati d’impresa sono numerosi e rovinosi per i cittadini quanto l’opera delle cavallette, ma pare che ciò sia tranquillamente sistema, e quei grossi mascalzoni possono fare fiche al diritto e al Padreterno, occupando le coste coi loro yacht, il territorio con le loro ville da nababbi, ostentando le gioie delle loro mogli e amanti, intoccabili e sempre dorati.
E’ il Paese dove è possibile, con la condiscendenza dell’opinione pubblica ormai comatosa, sospendere centomila processi a carico di stupratori, sfruttatori della prostituzione, torturatori in divisa, ricettatori, corruttori, fraudolenti, per l’unico scopo di fermarne uno solo.
E’ il Paese in cui, benchè tanto grave sia la deriva morale, culturale ed etica della comunità oriunda, se ne è individuato il male nelle zingarelle che chiedono l’elemosina e nei bambini rom, ai quali si prenderanno le impronte digitali(ah, che "cioia"!), nei clandestini che cercano di dimenticare nell’alcool lo sfruttamento seivaggio, negli extracomunitari che aggiungono la loro violenza disperata da esclusi a quella, ben più allarmante degli insospettabili tra le pareti domestiche.
Così si può ascoltare un certo Gasparri, debolissima intelligenza che giornalmente apre bocca in nome della maggioranza, dire: "Veltroni taccia e faccia opposizione". Inconsapevolmente, come i poveri intelletti, ci conferma l’essenza del berlusconismo: marasma mentale e principi di totalitarismo.

students manipulate components of the fire triangle, in this case oxygen. QUINCY, Calif., November 7, 2017 — For Immediate Release. Plumas Unified School District (PUSD) science teachers are using an exciting new fire science curriculum to ignite students’ passion for science. The Sierra Nevada FireWorks curriculum about the science of wildland fire was developed as a collaboration among PUSD, Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory (of the U.S. Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station), and the Plumas National Forest. While the curriculum for the Sierra Nevada is brand new, many activities were adapted from the original FireWorks educational program, published in 2000.
The new curriculum has been pilot-tested in many science classes and is now available for free online at www.frames.gov/fireworks/curriculum/sierra-nevada. Many activities require associated materials such as posters, hardware, and plant specimens. Digital materials can be downloaded and printed from the website, while other materials are available in FireWorks trunks. Trunks of materials have been provided to teachers at PUSD school sites.
FireWorks is a valuable tool to all educators, interpreters, and fire prevention specialists. Activities provide students with interactive, hands-on materials to study wildland fire and local ecology. Many of the activities are applicable wherever wildland fires occur, however, many are specialized for the Sierra Nevada.
To get a flavor for what takes place in the classroom: students learn how ladder fuels affect fire spread from the forest floor to the tops of trees in the Tinker Tree Derby. Students design model trees using metal stands and newspaper ‘leaves’ and then light a fire beneath their tree. Winning trees survive the fire with plenty of unburned leaves so they can still photosynthesize. Experiments with the Matchstick Forest Model examine how slope, density of trees, and other variables affect fire spread.
Rob Wade, PUSD outdoor educator has this to say about FireWorks, “It has been a great experience working with the team during the past couple of years. They really have transformed this idea into a meaningful, relevant curriculum for our teachers. We couldn’t be more pleased and are excited to integrate it district-wide this year.”

Ilana Abrahamson, Ecologist with Missoula Fire Sciences Lab added, “This program offers exciting,
hands-on activities for students to learn about Sierra Nevada ecosystems and the role of wildland
fire. It resulted from a rewarding collaboration, and PUSD teachers provided valuable feedback
about the activities and instruction. The result is a fun and robust program for educators and students
to use throughout the Sierra Nevada.”
