Germany has the world’s first hydrogen-powered trains. Ninety percent of the energy used by trains in Switzerland comes from hydropower. Some rail providers are working to further lower that number. 41 pounds for the average train, according to Wanderu. The average plane emits 1.83 pounds of carbon dioxide per passenger mile, compared to. They are expecting the tour operator to take care of that for them.”Īviation generates from 2.5 to 4 percent of greenhouse gases, according to various estimates, and CO2 emissions from airplanes are expected to triple by 2050 if they continue at their current rate, the United Nations warns. Ultimately you’re trying to sell a positive experience and don’t want to make people feel guilty. Still, he said, “sustainability is really difficult to market. “There’s a changing consciousness and awareness in relation to climate change and how people go about making their choices,” said Matt Berna, Intrepid’s president and managing director in the Americas. Intrepid Travel, for example, is experimenting with different forms of transportation and, beginning this year, will report the CO2 emissions, per guest, of each of its trips. With travel and tourism generating between 8 percent and 11 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, travel companies are also pledging to reduce their impact by switching from planes to trains. “You can make that decision, but if your company is conscious not just about sustainability but about price, here are the alternatives - here are the train routes.” “It’s something customers were asking for,” said Nina Herold, Navan’s executive vice president and general manager. The company is rolling out a feature called Train v Plane that automatically offers rail alternatives when a user searches for a flight. The booking site Navan, which specializes in business travel, reports that the share of trips being made by rail once its customers arrive in Europe is up from 34 percent at the start of 2021 to 40 percent now, a trend it says is being pushed by their employers. From a traveler standpoint, it’s ticking all the boxes,” said Todd Powell cofounder of Vacations by Rail. “Train travel has some really positive news behind it. And travel companies are changing itineraries to favor trains over domestic flights. Employers with sustainability goals are making employees take trains instead of flying on work trips. Regulators in France have banned short-haul flights between cities within 2½ hours of each other by train, which has already ended air service between Paris Orly and Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux similar measures are being pushed in Germany and the United Kingdom. “The fact that more and more people want to take the train is great for the industry and the world,” said Gary Franklin, vice president for trains and cruises at Belmond.Įven if travelers aren’t considering the environment, regulators, travel companies, and employers are increasingly doing it for them. More than half of Amtrak customers said in a survey that they think about potential effects on the environment when they take a train, compared to 42 percent in 2019. But a separate survey by the train and bus booking platform Wanderu finds that the proportion who say they do is up from 15 percent to 25 percent since 2020. That doesn’t mean that all of them are acting on this when they plan their trips. More than two-thirds of travelers surveyed by the consulting firm Deloitte said they think climate change is an emergency.

Some programs allow conversion of Java programs from one version of the Java platform to an older one (for example Java 5.0 backported to 1.4) (see Java backporting tools). Entire new APIs, such as Swing and Java2D, have been introduced, and many of the original JDK 1.0 classes and methods have been deprecated. In addition to the language changes, other changes have been made to the Java Class Library over the years, which has grown from a few hundred classes in JDK 1.0 to over three thousand in J2SE 5. This proposal took effect for all following versions, and is still the current release schedule. In September 2017, Mark Reinhold, chief Architect of the Java Platform, proposed to change the release train to "one feature release every six months" rather than the then-current two-year schedule. The language is specified by the Java Language Specification (JLS) changes to the JLS are managed under JSR 901. Since J2SE 1.4, the evolution of the Java language has been governed by the Java Community Process (JCP), which uses Java Specification Requests (JSRs) to propose and specify additions and changes to the Java platform. The Java language has undergone several changes since JDK 1.0 as well as numerous additions of classes and packages to the standard library. This article is about the Java programming language. But there are a few tips that really can help speed up the diagnostic process. One important thing to note: Because the motor isn't designed to handle extremely high power for extended periods of time (for example, turning from lock to lock repeatedly while the vehicle is stationary), the EPS system will protect itself by limiting the amount of current commanded to reduce system temperature - and unfortunately, limiting assist in the process.Īs always, a good scan tool, service information, TSBs and calibration updates all are important for successfully repairing the vehicle. The PSCM combines inputs such as steering shaft torque sensor, vehicle speed (via serial data), calculated system temperature, and steering tuning setting to determine the amount of assist required - for example, greater assist would be provided at slow-speed parking than during a high-speed lane change - and commands the correct amount of current (or assist) to the power steering motor. The steering motor itself is typically a DC, reversible motor that provides assist through a worm gear and reduction gear. One thing to be aware of is that the PSCM uses the Steering Wheel Position Sensor to "locate" the on-center position and will actually provide a small amount of electrical current to "return" to the center position (not beyond the center position though). The Signal 1 and Signal 2 voltages increase and decrease, staying within 2.5 to 2.8 volts of each other as the steering wheel is turned. The steering wheel position sensor is a five-volt, dual analog signal device, but this one operates between 0V to 5V. The PSCM interprets the change in signal voltages as "steering direction" and steering column shaft "applied torque." Simple, really. Turning to the left decreases Signal 1 Voltage and increases Signal 2 Voltage. Turning the steering wheel to the right increases Signal 1 Voltage and decreases Signal 2 Voltage. It sounds complicated, but it really isn't. This sensor is a five-volt, dual analog inverse signal device operating between 0.25V and 4.75V (as many five-volt reference sensors do – voltage outside of this range usually indicates a circuit problem and sets a DTC). Getting extremely technical, the torque signals are determined by the relative position between the upper and lower rotors of the sensor. The steering shaft torque sensor (located in a section of torsion bar in between the steering input and output shafts) is the Power Steering Control Module's (PSCM) main input for determining steering direction and the amount of assist needed. The EPS system is more efficient than hydraulic systems since it only needs to provide assist when the driver is actually steering (rather than robbing energy from the vehicle's engine to rotate the hydraulic pump constantly), and it keeps the environmentalists happy since there's no harmful fluid involved that needs to be flushed or drained. EPS simply uses an electric motor to provide the assist rather than use a hydraulic pressure system. The idea behind EPS is the same as the idea behind hydraulically assisted power steering systems: reducing the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel. And that means that you need to know how the system works, what goes wrong and how to fix it – quickly, safely and profitably. Because the system is such a fuel-saver and also lowers emissions, it's turned up on most of the vehicles on the road. Interestingly, it's not just expensive or luxury models that use EPS. GM vehicles have used electric power steering (EPS) systems for over a decade now, so odds are good you've already worked on a vehicle using the system. Editor's Note: This article has been updated from its original 2011 version. All things considered, Apple was able to design a slimmer chassis with no apparent weaknesses. Scratches and dings don't occur easily but we would still recommend a soft sleeve and some care while handling the notebook. Although the laptop's chassis feels quite resilient, it was not designed for extreme outdoor use. The thin chassis caught our eye during the unpacking process, while the display lid still sports the familiar big apple logo. The design of the notebook is evolutionary and not a departure from the past. It holds the display in place without allowing it to rock back and forth and is firm enough to allow working in a car or on a train. The display hinge is located in the middle and is hidden under black plastic. Despite the thin construction, the display lid offers very high torsional rigidity. The new model only has two layers, a design feature that is also supposed to reduce glare (more on that later). One of the features contributing to the lower weight is the missing glass cover over the display. On the other hand, the price of admission is only about half. The similarly equipped Asus N56VZ is much heavier and downright clunky (height of 37 millimeter / 1.46 inches). The wedge-like MacBook Air 13 has a maximum thickness of about 17 millimeter (0.67 inches) and is only marginally slimmer. The height is a uniform 18 millimeter (0.71 inches), the weight about 2 kilogram (4.46 pounds). This means that the new model is six millimeter (0.24 inches) thinner and about 500 grams (1.1 pounds) lighter than the Apple MacBook Pro 15 Late 2011. Compared to the "normal" MacBook Pro, the Retina model is both slimmer and lighter. The chassis resists deformation and remains rock solid even when concentrated pressure is applied. The design feels great and conveys both high-end aesthetics and superb build quality. Apple continues to use a unibody chassis milled from solid aluminum. Phil Shiller didn't spare any superlatives when describing the chassis of the new MacBook Pro. So what are the pros and cons of the newest family member? Both FireWire and Ethernet are only offered via adapter. The new MacBook Pro now comes with USB 3.0 and HDMI and offers two Thunderbolt ports. In this review we will take an in-depth look at the performance of the components, the new display, and the overall features. In this review we will focus on the 2279 Euro (MSRP) expensive base model with no optional upgrades selected. The larger SSD is only an option for the more expensive model retailing at 2889 Euro (MSRP). For those looking to soup up their notebook even further, Apple offers BTO (Build-to-Order) options. 16 GByte RAM (onboard) or a 768 GByte SSD will set you back an additional 200 or 500 Euro, respectively. Both models are equipped with the high resolution Retina display and the integrated / dedicated graphics combination with Intel GMA HD 4000 and Nvidia GeForce GT 650M (1 GByte GDDR5-RAM). The higher-end version includes the 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7-3720QM processor and a 512 GByte SSD. Our test system is the base model and features the Intel Core i7-3615QM Quad-Core processor (2.3 GHz), 8 GByte RAM and a 256 GByte SSD. Two models with different configurations are offered at launch. New Intel Ivy Bridge processors, a slimmer chassis, a revised cooling system, and a changed speaker system are all features that distinguish this new model from the regular MacBook Pro (which will stay on sale alongside the new offering - although the 17-inch version has been discontinued). The new 15.4-inch screen now packs a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels and a pixel density of 220 DPI. The previous high-resolution version of the 15-inch MBP only offered a maximum resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels. The Retina display made its debut on the iPhone 4s and is also found in the iPod Touch and iPad 3. Apple uses this marketing term to refer to devices with a very high resolution and pixel density. Schiller not only introduced a completely reworked notebook portfolio and various other products, but also unveiled a MacBook Pro with 15-inch Retina display. This year, CEO Tim Cook and SVP Philip W. Apple uses the WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference) to showcase new products and technologies.

And I think that as our space activities increase, that's just not going to be acceptable anymore. So that's an improvement, but that's still letting it reenter uncontrolled. The specific issue with the uncontrolled reentries, I think, hasn't made it really to the top of the agenda yet, although there is a recent change that you're meant to at least make sure that your junk reenters within five years, whereas the previous recommendation was within 25 years. MCDOWELL: There's a lot of discussion right now about the general governance of space and how the rules aren't really keeping up with the rapid commercialization of outer space. NADWORNY: Is there talk or discussion about creating stricter rules about these uncontrolled reentry rocket debris? Other countries don't let things that big reenter. So I would say these four Long March 5B core stages are the biggest uncontrolled reentries - all four of them - in 30, 40 years. There's a big difference between a 20-ton rocket stage and the one-ton or two-ton objects that the U.S. MCDOWELL: No, I think the Chinese are being a little disingenuous here. Do you think critics of China's space program are just being unfair? I mean, for example, debris from SpaceX rockets has crashed into farms in Australia and even Washington state. NADWORNY: But even despite kind of that risk calculation difference, the Chinese government has said it's just doing what every other country does when it sends stuff up into space. They see that one in a thousand, and they go, no problem we'll take those odds, whereas in the U.S., we're like, oh, no, you better do some redesign. I think fundamentally the answer is that they have a different attitude to risk than, say, the United States. NADWORNY: Why hasn't China designed its rockets that way? For a big booster like this, the usual way people will take care of it is not to put it in orbit in the first place, make it do most of the work of getting your satellite into orbit but shut it down just a little early so that it falls immediately in the ocean at a predictable place and then make little engines on the satellite do the last little puff of getting it into space. If you have a smaller rocket stage, you can make it a restartable (ph) engine and slam it deliberately down into the atmosphere at a specific place in time. MCDOWELL: Well, there are various things that people do. NADWORNY: Is there a way to make sure that large pieces of debris like this won't cause loss of life or property? If you're doing a lot of these, even a one in a thousand risk, eventually you're going to get unlucky. It's maybe one in a thousand, but that's still a lot higher than the criterion that most countries use for going, eh, probably too high a risk to take. MCDOWELL: The chance of it hurting someone is not that high. NADWORNY: What are the odds that a piece of rocket debris would actually hurt someone? MCDOWELL: And so it's that lack of predictability that makes this particularly worrying. So if you estimate wrong when it's going to break up by an hour, you're 17,000 miles off. The problem is that the rocket booster is tumbling along at the edge of the atmosphere at 17,000 miles an hour. Is there any way to know where this stuff is going to fall? Several years ago, chunks hit villages in West Africa, causing property damage but no casualties. NADWORNY: So this is the fourth time that debris from a Chinese rocket has cascaded down to Earth. NASA administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement Friday that China was taking, quote, "unnecessary risks." Here to talk more about this is Jonathan McDowell with Harvard's Center for Astrophysics. The Chinese rocket booster was designed to fall to Earth after propelling a piece of China's space station into orbit. The debris didn't cause any casualties, but the rocket's uncontrolled descent was no accident. A rocket the size of a 10-story building tumbled out of the sky on Friday and splashed into the Pacific Ocean. No reasons were given for the moves, and it was unclear when the Marlins received the latest positive test results. Miami pitcher Jose Urena was scratched from his scheduled start in Sunday’s game, and catcher Jorge Alfaro went on the injured list Friday. “Postponing tonight’s home opener was the correct decision to ensure we take a collective pause and try to properly grasp the totality of this situation,” Jeter said. Marlins CEO Derek Jeter released a statement saying the health of players and staff was his organization’s primary focus. The Marlins could bus from Philadelphia to Baltimore for scheduled games there Wednesday and Thursday. Because there are no minor league games this season, teams are allowed to retain 60 players each, including a taxi squad of up to three players for every road trip, giving them immediate options to replace an ailing player. If the Marlins continue their season, they’ll rely heavily on reinforcements from their training camp in Jupiter, Florida. Philly Live's Aunyea Lachelle talks to Susan Campbell of Ronald McDonald Charities about 'Opening Night' Phillies t-shirts that are on sale with proceeds going to local Ronald McDonald Houses. You may not be able to attend Phillies games in person, but you can still support a long-standing initiative from home. It’s playing out like it was supposed to play out.” This was not a plan anyone who knows what they are talking about would have conceived. “It makes me wonder if they are listening to the advice of experts or whether their experts are giving them good advice. “Baseball is in huge trouble,” Morris said. Andrew Morris, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Toronto, said the Marlins’ outbreak isn’t a surprise because Manfred’s plan was seriously flawed. “Remember when Manfred said players health was PARAMOUNT?! Part of the reason I’m at home right now is because players health wasn’t being put first. “Now we REALLY get to see if MLB is going to put players health first,” tweeted Los Angles Dodgers pitcher David Price, who opted out of playing this season. With the 60-game season barely underway, the Marlins’ outbreak raised anew questions about MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred’s plan for navigating the pandemic. The Orioles planned to return to Baltimore from Miami on Monday night, an indication their scheduled game Tuesday against the Marlins won’t take place at Marlins Park. That included Phillies players being tested Monday. Major League Baseball removed both games from the schedule about eight hours before the scheduled first pitch, and said additional COVID-19 testing was being conducted. NBC10 reporter Aaron Baskerville soaked in the atmosphere. Torres was placed on the COVID-19 list and the team recalled Miguel Andujar with Gio Urshela playing shortstop for Thursday night’s game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.Phillies fan soaked in whatever tiny views of the baseball team's season opener. “We’re just trying as best we can to work with everyone and try and get our arms around it or edge around it and do the best we can to make sure we not only keep ourselves safe and safe and healthy, but the people we come in contact with as well.” “So all of a sudden, you kind of think you’re starting to move out of the woods and it hits you, and then it gets you again and again, it definitely makes you take a step back and knocks you back a little bit. “I was certainly taken aback, especially because, through the peak of times, we were able to avoid that,” Boone said of avoiding an outbreak last season during the height of the pandemic. Four unnamed support staffers are also confirmed cases and in quarantine. He was joined by first base coach Reggie Willits and pitching coach Matt Blake. Still, it rocked the Yankees over the last several days, beginning with the first positive test of third base coach Phil Nevin on Sunday night. From what I know no one from our team has tested positive or anything, so there’s definitely separation from their side.” “I think they have a good grip on what’s going on. “I think if this was last year, it would be like a canceled game without any questions,” Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow said.

On occasion dad would bring home wrestlers with him. “When dad was home, and sometimes he’d be away for a week, he treated everyone the same. He is quite proud of the man his dad was, when he wasn’t being photographed or splashed on the cover of wrestling magazines, usually with his face covered with blood.Ĭaptain Lou Albano was on his best behavior when at home. Carl Albano doesn’t shy away from his family’s famous name. Is he related to the wrestling fella they remember growing up? This has been brought up many times. Specializing in real estate and insurance, Carl Albano’s sign outside of his building still brings in inquiring customers concerning his last name. On Route 6, in building # 2, settled in the hamlet of Mahopac, New York, is the Albano Insurance Agency. There was never any thought of following in his dad’s footsteps. “Just when we went into the City, dad would be recognized, and he had a crowd follow him.”Ĭarl Albano, along with his brother and two sisters, saw the wrestling business simply as their dad’s line of work. He was one of the neighbors who everyone knew, and got a kick out of,” explains Carl Albano. In listening to Carl speak from life as a child growing up in Carmel, the Albano household was as normal as their neighbors. The myths and real-life escapades of the Federation’s brawling cornerman are legendary. “And he was a tough dad but a very loving father, as well.” “Yeah, he was a crazy man on TV, just out there in left field when watching him wrestling,” Albano confesses. One of four kids of Lou and Geraldine Albano, who were married for 50-plus years, Carl paints a total opposite picture of his father, from the reckless behavior demonstrated in arenas that made him some one fans loved to hate. With all the TV exposure and arena rants, it was only natural, particularly back in the ’70s when the wrestling game presented itself with a more realistic legit product, that what you saw publicly was what the person privately is. To him, Captain Lou, as he was known during the second half of his career, was simply Dad. “He (Albano) was an amazing guy who marched to a different beat,” said Carl Albano, 65, during a recent telephone conversation.Ĭarl Albano knew who the real Hall of Famer was.
