Plenty of people take the Amtrak train from Portland to Seattle, but how many keep riding all the way to Canada? On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, our colleague Veronica Nocera recounts her recent train ride between Portland and Vancouver, B.C. (a route that resumed service in 2023), as well as her weekend north of the border. Nocera, who has taken both a train and a plane between the two cities, offered some insights into the big differences between the two modes of transportation, and whether she'd recommend one over the other for Northwest travelers. Here are some highlights from this week's show: What is the train ride experience like? What to do when you arrive in Vancouver late at night. How to get around the city without a car. A plane vs. train ride is a difference in vibes.  Subscribe to Peak Northwest on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you listen to podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Con oltre un secolo di esperienza con questa partnership l'azienda di Gradisca d'Isonzo rafforza il suo impegno nella promozione dell'autentico espresso italiano.Soddisfazione per questo nuovo traguardo è stata espressa dal direttore generale Roberto Nocera, per il quale “l'ingresso de La San Marco nell'Istituto dell'Espresso Italiano è un passo significativo nella tutela dell'espresso italiano. Sono orgoglioso - ha dichiarato Nocera che riveste anche il ruolo di presidente nazionale di Ucimac - nel vedere la nostra azienda impegnarsi così a fondo nel preservare non solo la qualità dell'espresso, ma anche le sue oscillazioni sensoriali nelle diverse comunità emblematiche del caffè. La consapevolezza e la promozione delle diverse tradizioni legate al caffè possono contribuire, non solo a preservare il patrimonio culturale italiano, ma anche a far crescere l'apprezzamento globale per l'espresso italiano. La San Marco, con la sua partecipazione attiva, può svolgere un ruolo chiave nel diffondere la conoscenza di questa bevanda e nel promuovere l'eccellenza che la contraddistingue nel contesto internazionale. Inoltre, il fatto che l'azienda sia fermamente convinta dell'importanza di questa tutela dimostra un impegno autentico verso la valorizzazione di un prodotto così emblematico per l'Italia. Spero vivamente che questa collaborazione contribuirà concretamente alla diffusione della cultura dell'espresso e a rafforzare la sua reputazione in ogni angolo del mondo".

It's been four years since the first American death from the coronavirus. Four years since we were told that wearing masks—even cloth masks—were essential to keeping us safe. The same goes for lockdowns and social distancing. Any inconvenience to society was outweighed by the lives saved.  And remember what President Biden told us after Covid vaccines were rolled out a year later? “The CDC is saying, they have concluded, that fully vaccinated people are at a very, very low risk of getting Covid-19,” Biden said in a Rose Garden press conference. We now know that so much of what we were told in those years was wrong. (Last week, Anthony Fauci admitted in closed-door congressional testimony that the six-feet apart rule was “likely not based on scientific data.”) And if the guidance wasn't flat-out wrong, it was certainly debatable. But debate was not only discouraged—it was shut down. Respected dissident scientists were dismissed as fringe scientists. They were deplatformed on social media. For most of us, all of this seems like a lifetime ago. But the problem is that here we are, four years later; millions of Americans suffered, more than a million died, and it's not clear we have any better understanding of what exactly went wrong. How was it that our leaders—and our economy—were so brutally underprepared for a global pandemic? That's what today's conversation on Honestly is about. Guest host Michael Moynihan talks to The Free Press's own Joe Nocera about his new book, co-authored with Bethany McLean: The Big Fail: What the Pandemic Revealed About Who America Protects and Who It Leaves Behind. The Big Fail takes a critical look at what the pandemic uncovered about our leaders, our broken trust in government, and the vulnerability of the biggest economy in the world. Nocera also investigates the perverse incentives (and devastating effects) of hospital systems and nursing homes run by private equity firms. All this makes him ask: Does capitalism have its limitations when it comes to healthcare? Most importantly: Are we able to learn our lesson from the Covid pandemic and do better when the next emergency hits us? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

La Divina comedia del PARAISO Libro de Dante Alighieri CANTO UNDECIMO OH insensatos afanes de los mortales!, ¡cuán débiles son las razones que os inducen a bajar el vuelo y a rozar la Tierra con vuestras alas! Mientras unos se dedicaban al foro, y otros se entregaban a los aforismos de la medicina; y éstos seguían el sacerdocio, y aquéllos se esforzaban en reinar por la fuerza de las armas, haciendo creer en su derecho por medio de sofismas; y algunos rodaban, y otros se consagraban a los negocios civiles; y muchos se enervaban en los placeres de la carne, y bastantes por fin se daban a la ociosidad, yo, libre de todas estas cosas, había subido con Beatriz hasta el cielo, donde tan gloriosamente fuí acogido. Después que cada uno de aquellos espíritus hubo vuelto al punto del círculo en que antes estaba, tan inmóvil como la bujía de un candelero, la luz[133] que me había hablado anteriormente se hizo más esplendorosa y risueña, y dentro de ella oí una voz que comenzó a decir de esta manera: —Así como yo me enciendo a los rayos de la luz eterna, del mismo modo, mirándola, conozco la causa de donde proceden tus pensamientos. Tú dudas, y quieres que mi boca emplee palabras tan claras y ostensibles, que pongan al alcance de tu inteligencia las que pronuncié antes cuando dije: "Camino en que el alma se fortifica;" y las otras: "Ningún otro ascendió." En cuanto a éstas, es preciso hacer una distinción. La Providencia, que gobierna al mundo con el consejo en que se abisma la mirada de todo sér creado antes de penetrar en el fondo, a fin de que la Esposa de Aquél, que con su bendita sangre se unió a ella en altas voces, corriese hacia su amado segura de sí misma y siéndole más fiel, envió en su ayuda dos príncipes, que para entrambos objetos le sirvieran de guías. El uno fué todo seráfico en su ardor; el otro, por su sabiduría, resplandeció en la Tierra con la luz de los querubines.[134] Hablaré de uno solo; pues elogiando a cualquiera de ellos indistintamente, se habla de los dos, porque sus obras tendieron a un mismo fin. Entre el Tupino y el agua que desciende del collado elegido por el beato Ubaldo, baja un fértil declive de un alto monte, del cual Perusa siente venir el calor y el frío por la parte de Porta Sole, y tras de cuyo monte lloran oprimidas Nocera y Gualdo. En el sitio donde aquella pendiente es menos rápida, vino al mundo un Sol, resplandeciendo como éste a veces cuando asoma sobre las márgenes del Ganges. Quien hable de ese lugar, no le llame Asís, pues diría muy poco: si quiere hablar con propiedad, llámele Oriente. Aun no distaba mucho de su nacimiento, cuando aquel Sol comenzó a hacer que la Tierra sintiese algún consuelo con su gran virtud; pues siendo todavía muy joven, incurrió en la cólera de su padre por inclinarse a una dama,[135] a quien, como a la muerte, nadie acoge con gusto; y ante la corte espiritual "et coram patre" se unió a ella, amándola después más y más cada día. Ella, privada de su primer marido,[136] permaneció despreciada y obscura mil cien años y más, sin que nadie lo solicitase hasta que vino éste. De nada le valió que se oyera decir cómo aquel que hizo temer a todo el mundo la encontró alegre con Amiclates, cuando llamó a su puerta: ni le valió haber sido constante y animosa hasta el punto de ser crucificada con Cristo, mientras María estaba al pie de la Cruz. Mas, para no continuar en un estilo demasiado obscuro, reconoce en mis difusas palabras que estos dos amantes son Francisco y la Pobreza. Su concordia y sus placenteros semblantes, su amor maravilloso y sus dulces miradas inspiraban santos pensamientos a otros; de tal modo que el venerable Bernardo fué el primero que se descalzó para correr en pos de tanta paz, y aun corriendo le parecía llegar tarde...

This treehugger episode meanders through Ivyland and investigates the extensive properties and uses of ivy, Hedera helix. Ivies (Araliaceae) are a diverse genus of evergreen plants native to regions spanning Europe, across central-southern Asia, and N Africa. Its botanical name is rooted in Latin; Hedera is related to its traditional medicinal uses. Known for its climbing or ground-creeping nature, ivy offers various ecological benefits such as habitat and shelter for wildlife, acts as a late-season food source for pollinators, offers berries for birds, controls soil erosion, regulates microclimates, and contributes to carbon sequestration. Additionally, it has several human benefits, including air purification, aesthetic appeal, thermal regulation, stress reduction, and medicinal uses. The podcast explores ivy's role in herbal remedies, emphasizing its traditional uses in respiratory health, anti-inflammatory properties, skin health, antioxidant effects, and wound healing.  Then in a detailed conversation, treehugger guest, Toby Query, discusses the complexity of his relationship with ivy. We explore ivy's growth patterns, methods of removal such as mechanical means and herbicides, and concerns about the environmental impact of these methods. The conversation delves into the benefits of ivy, such as supporting wildlife and contributing to soil moisture and the mycorrhizal network. The need for a context-specific approach to ivy management is emphasized, challenging myths and emphasizing the importance of further research. Ultimately, ivy is recognized as a diverse and ecologically important plant with cultural and historical significance. Toby Query is an ecologist based in Portland, known for his extensive work in the city's Revegetation Program since 1999. He focuses on stewarding natural areas, particularly the Shwah kuk wetlands, in collaboration with Indigenous communities. Toby is also the founder of Portland Ecologists Unite!, a group which created spaces to learn, discuss, and connect over current ecological issues. He holds a certification as a Senior Ecologist from the Ecological Society of America and is an active contributor to The Nature of Cities website.

For the first episode of Season 3, I'm talking about Enron and the company's spectacular rise and even more spectacular fall. It's a story about how creativity can sometimes mean stupidity, how culture impacts a company's survival, how hiring decisions matter, how ideas mutate, and how companies that put stock price and profits above all else can easily be the architects of their own demise. And--how blind people can be about a lot of things if what they are doing is making money. Who was responsible for Enron? What were the major causes of its bankruptcy? Who spoke up, and who listened (or didn't?) And what insurance responds when half of your executives are being criminally charged, and the shareholders and creditors are suing everyone they can think of? Join me to find out!

L'11 settembre del 1973, cinquant'anni fa, il generale Augusto Pinochet saliva al potere in Cile grazie a un colpo di stato militare. L'esercito cileno, sostenuto dagli Stati Uniti, si ribellò contro il presidente democraticamente eletto Salvador Allende, bombardò il palazzo presidenziale e diede inizio a una lunga e feroce dittatura, in cui la repressione durissima del regime fece decine di migliaia di morti.

And what I want to do is show people that we can get back a lot of what we lost.” “We have no way to predict who's going to fall. Our number one predictor of falls is a previous fall and that doesn't do anyone any good.”Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.

In this episode of the “Stories from the NNI” podcast, Dan Nocera, the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University, describes how he and his team have developed a nanostructured device, called an artificial leaf, which works like a leaf by using sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen; then, the hydrogen can be used to generate renewable fuel.   If you would like to learn more about nanotechnology, go to nano.gov or email us at info@nnco.nano.gov. CREDITS Special thanks to:  Dan NoceraHarvard University Produced by:Andrew Pomeroy Music:  Inspirational Outlook by Scott Holmes  https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Sc...https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... Any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this podcast are those of the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office or United States Government.

On continue nos hors-séries les entretiens du JDG. Cette semaine vous avez rendez-vous avec Gwladys Nocera.  A 47 ans, la Française est désormais coach des équipes de France Dames et emmènera les Bleus dans une semaine aux championnats du monde amateur. Mais Gwladys Nocera c'est surtout une carrière bien fournie avec 14 titres sur le Ladies European Tour, une place de n°1 européenne en 2008, 4 participations en Solheim cup, la Ryder Cup au féminin.  La Française a joué avec les meilleures joueuses du monde comme Lorena Ochoa ou Annika Sorenstam et a représenté la France aux Jeux Olympiques de Rio en 2016. Une golfeuse à fort caractère avec un seul mot d'ordre : la gagne, toujours la gagne et rien que la gagne.  

Pacho O´Donnell conversó con el historiador Eduardo Nocera acerca de la presentación de su libro “Artigas y el congreso de Abalos”, donde se analizan las decisiones de Artigas luego de la derrota en Tacuarembó y la firma del tratado Del Pilar, por medio del cual Buenos Aires abandonaba su colaboración con la banda oriental en la guerra contra Portugal y Brasil. El historiador se refirió al proceso de investigación llevado a cabo, repasó algunos de los hechos a los que hace referencia en su obra y la importancia de valorar a Artigas, no solo frente a la historia Uruguaya, sino también como alguien fundamental para la historia del federalismo del Río de la Plata y un prócer latinoamericano promotor del sistema nacional y popular enfrentado al proyecto de la oligarquía porteña.

Creativity enthusiast and educator JoAnn Nocera knows what it's like to stop listening to your creative spark—and she's done the work to get hers back. Now she helps students, teachers, and parents keep that spark alive. She joined me to talk about that journey, what she sees happening in classrooms, and most importantly, how to keep kids from losing that spark in the first place.

Good morning, RVA! It's 58 °F, and it rained! The storms have moved through, though, and now we've got a pleasant fall day ahead of us. Expect highs in the mid 60s, some clouds, and dry weather for at least the next couple of days. Water cooler One quick coronaupdate this morning for iPhone users: iOS 15.1 came out yesterday, and that means you can now store your vaccination card in the Wallet app. Just fill out this form on vaccinate.virginia.gov, and you'll end up with a QR code and a link that'll automatically load up your information as a fun card in Wallet.app. I think once you get boosted, you can even update it with that information, too. Neat! The Richmond Times-Dispatch's Chris Suarez has the update from last night's final City Council meeting on the Mayor's proposed ARPA spending plan, and it sounds like Council approved the whole shebang. You can find more details on the City's ARPA page, but the big-ticket investments are parks, trails, and community centers; the Affordable Housing Trust Fund; stormwater infrastructure; and a new Healthy Equity Trust Fund. While the full spending plan is approved, this huge bucket of money will be allocated over two years. Someone should definitely set up a spreadsheet or a Trello or something to track progress on all these rad projects. In particular, I can't wait for some of the new trails! Whoa there is a lot in this piece from Jessica Nocera in the RTD about how Chesterfield County Public Schools' unnecessary and mostly imaginary battle against Critical Race Theory does in fact have a chilling effect on folks in the County working against systemic racism. It's not hard to see how a policy banning CRT-related professional development has already led to the District rejecting a principal's request to take diversity, equity, and inclusion training from VCU. Not great—both scary and embarrassing. Side note: I really love the way Nocera reports this story without a lot of both-sidesism (or as NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen calls it, The View From Nowhere). Tonight at 5:00 PM, Council's Public Safety Committee will meet and hear recommendations presented by the Civilian Review Board Task Force. As a fun pregame to tonight's meeting, you can read the Task Force's recommendations yourself, one of which is "that the CRB will have its own department to avoid conflicts of interest; this is aligned with the recommendations of the City Attorney's Office. As such, we recommend creating a department or office of 'Community Oversight and Police Accountability' independent from other City departments or offices." I don't know a ton about how CRBs should work, but that is exactly why we tasked a taskforce to come up with recommendations! If you'd like to holler at your councilmember in support of the Task Force's recommendations—including the creation of an Office of Community Oversight and Police Accountability—you can find the big list of councilmember contact information here. One final note, and I'll assume that it was not intentional, but it does not seem particularly even-handed to schedule the Richmond Police Department to present on "Police Staffing and Morale" immediately before the CRB Task Force gives their presentation on police accountability. Well, I guess it's official. VPM's Ben Paviour reports that "The Virginia Redistricting Commission has missed a final deadline to draw new state legislative maps, kicking the process to the Virginia Supreme Court." Paviour helpfully lays out the next steps and timeline for the judges to get these maps drawn. This coming Thursday, October 28th, the Community Foundation will host a free, online panel focused on Everyday Nonprofit Advocacy. We've got a lot of issues to tackle in Richmond, and a ton of them are systemic issues requiring big-time policy changes to make our city a better place to live. Nonprofit advocacy (and regular-person advocacy!) plays a big role in that, and I deeply agree with this bit from the event description: "the community needs leaders who engage decisions makers well." Maybe systems-change work is too daunting or exhausting to think about—that's fine! How about this, then: Richmond Public Schools needs volunteers to provide no-contact grocery delivery to RPS families. That's about as finite and concrete of a task as you can get. This morning's longread Could removing parking requirements help revitalize Virginia's cities? I thought I'd move this extensive piece from Wyatt Gordon at the Virginia Mercury down to the longread section—it's packed with the impacts of free parking on a city like Richmond. Luckily, at least one of our councilmembers wants to make some incremental changes to the currently broken system. “People see the language of the resolution and worry I'm getting rid of parking,” said Addison, “But eliminating parking minimums just means we're not putting a burden on business owners and developers to provide and build more parking than they actually need. Parking minimums are a big barrier to housing affordability and people choosing other modes of mobility. Eliminating those outdated calculations on how much parking establishments need gets us closer to a market for shared parking that works better for everybody.” If you'd like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol' Patreon.

Good morning, RVA! It's already 74 °F, and today you can expect highs near 100 °F with Feels Likes above and beyond that. I love being outside, but, dang, not today. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay inside if you can.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports the seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths as: 129, 21, and 6.3, respectively. VDH reports a seven-day average of 17 new cases in and around Richmond (Richmond: 0.9; Henrico: 10.6, and Chesterfield: 5.6). Since this pandemic began, 1,349 people have died in the Richmond region. 45.8%, 57.2%, and 53.7% of the population in Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.OK! I think, when VDH updates their COVID-19 dashboard later this morning, Virginia will have reached President Biden's goal of 70% of adults with at least one dose of a vaccine! Right now, looking at yesterday's numbers, the Commonwealth sits at 69.9%, and the Governor has an event scheduled at Hope Pharmacy in the East End this morning to “celebrate vaccination milestone.” That's pretty good work, Virginia, as it looks like the country as a whole will not hit Biden's goal by July 4th (and some states may not even hit the goal period). Of course, I immediately want to know where we go from here and what numbers I need to start putting in my spreadsheet next. I do wonder if July 4th and Biden's “freedom from COVID” language is a sort of pandemic mission accomplished banner. Maybe I should take a hint and hang up the spreadsheet? But, for now, here is the graph of new people with at least one dose across the state and the graph of total people with at least one dose in Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield.The City's Planning Commission meets today with a hefty agenda that's sure to generate plenty of discussion. Not only will they take up two significant rezonings—one in Greater Scott's Addition (the Diamond District) and one covering the area between the Science Museum and VCU / VUU Pulse stations—but they'll also discuss the plans for removing the remaining Confederate monuments and plinths. My prediction is that all of these things pass and head on to the next step. For the rezonings, that's City Council, for the monuments…I'm not really sure. Planning Commissions might could have the final say, and then, assuming they approve, the Parks Department (?) can get to work. While I'm obviously not super clear on the process, I'm incredibly supportive of the effort and excited for the City to make some of these intersections safer and more humane (in a bunch of different ways).Clara Haizlett, reporting for VPM, has the details on a “green street”—a cool piece of infrastructure that's in the early stages of implementation in the Bellemeade neighborhood. It's part of the larger Bellemeade Walkable Watershed Plan (a lovely PDF worth your time), and you can learn more about the plan itself and how the green street plays a role over on the James River Association's website. I absolutely love thoughtful infrastructure to connect communities to resources like parks, schools, and community centers.Jessica Nocera at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that the Chesterfield County School Board has joined the entirely made-up Republican war on Critical Race Theory. I really love how Nocera opens her piece: “The Chesterfield County School Board condemned racism last June and affirmed the school system's commitment to an inclusive school environment amid a national reckoning on race. A conversation series followed. The board recognized Pride Month for the first time and shortened the school year by a day to observe Juneteenth. But this month, the all-white, predominantly Republican body presiding over a school system comprising mostly students of color joined a nationwide conservative backlash to teaching about systemic racism, issuing a formal statement at a board meeting denouncing critical race theory.” Like I said last week, almost every conversation about Critical Race Theory is one held in bad faith with Republicans uninterested in actual discourse. That's made pretty clear in Nocera's piece: “Harter, the School Board chairman, declined to answer a list of questions, including about his understanding of critical race theory, instead only saying that critical race theory is not part of the state education curriculum.”Also in the RTD, Mark Robinson reports on the state of the Gilpin Court pool. This story covers a lot of ground and lays out a lot of the problems Richmond needs to tackle over the next couple of decades. First, in Richmond (and in most cities), some of the hottest parts of city are where some of the poorest people live. Second, Richmond needs dramatic investment in its public housing neighborhoods—like big, big ten-digit investments. Third, Richmond needs the leadership and the plans to secure and guide that investment. So, when Gilpin Court residents, who live in a sweltering-hot part of town, rightfully want their pool fixed, a whole entire conversation about the long-term future of housing in Richmond unspools and you end up, instead, with a pool sitting empty for the better part of a decade.School's out for the summer across the region! Again, congratulations to everyone involved, from students, to staff, to families, and teachers. What a thing everyone accomplished. If you haven't already, I strongly recommend you watch this end-of-year message from RPS Superintendent Jason Kamras—regardless of your age or locality! I think it sums things up nicely.This morning's patron longreadJust Be RichSubmitted by Patron Susan. I loved everything about this piece, especially the title. Rich people, just get off social media and have fun being rich!But let's not get hung up on a cancel culture debate, because the issue here is people choosing to be rich and famous in a disastrous way. They are not doing this thing properly. The whole point is to style yourself as an aloof semi-alien species, permanently adorned with sunglasses and a half-smirk as you roll away from the paparazzi in the back of a jet-black Escalade. You are getting paid large sums of money to do interesting things—star in movies, play concerts for tens of thousands of people—and also, basically, to just exist. Why are you tweeting? What are you doing here? As someone who has a professional obligation to marinate in the ocean of awful, it instills in me a cocktail of mad and sad to watch others do it willingly.If you'd like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol' Patreon.Picture of the DayI went on a bike ride in the mountains.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 52 °F, and it’s raining. You should expect it to continue raining throughout the morning and maybe even into the late afternoon. Tomorrow, though! Tomorrow’s weather looks amazing.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,267 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 10 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 128 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 56, Henrico: 57, and Richmond: 15). Since this pandemic began, 1,191 people have died in the Richmond region. Are Virginia’s case counts on the rise again, or are we riding it out on a bumpy plateau? The seven-day average of new reported cases bottomed out ten days ago at 1,291 (still real, real high), and, over the last week or so, it has crept back up to 1,442. We’re seeing similar trends locally, too, with a low of 129 new reported cases (that’s a seven-day average) back on March 10th. Today’s seven-day average sits at 146. The amount of virus out there is still a lot! Don’t go frolicking around without taking proper safety precautions!Speaking of frolicking around, yesterday at his press conference, the Governor announced that he’d “ease certain mitigation measures.” You can read the full updated Executive Order 72 here (PDF), but here’s the gist: 50 people can now gather indoors and 100 people out of doors, outdoor entertainment venues can operate at 30% of their capacity with no cap on the number of attendees, and more spectators are allowed at recreational sporting events. Also, trumpet and trombone enthusiasts rejoice, because “entertainment and amusement business” employees “who must remove their masks to play a wind instrument during a performance or rehearsal” are exempt from mask requirements as long as they maintain 10 feet of distance from others. These updates take effect on April 1st.Hey now, this is interesting: Jessica Nocera at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Henrico County officials are publicly asking the state to allocate more vaccine doses to the ongoing Richmond Raceway vaccination events. This feels like a very un-Henrico Way to go about things, but I’m really interested to see if it works. There’s definitely no denying that the County, which runs the vaccination site, has the capacity to efficiently vaccinate thousands and thousands of people. Nocera says that the Raceway received “just” 11,994 doses this past week, and we know from Supervisors Nelson that the County can jab out that number of doses in just a couple of days. I hope Henrico can make this happen and secure more doses for our region.I’ve got a lot of boring news this morning—which, for me, is exciting! First, I uploaded City Council’s budget work session to The Boring Show. This first session is only an hour long, and at 2x speed I was able to get through a good chunk of it while getting ready for bed. Totally normal-person stuff to listen to while brushing your teeth! You can stay up to date on this year’s budget season directly—hearing it straight from the nine horses' mouths—by subscribing to The Boring Show podcast. Also budget-related, Chris Suarez at the RTD says Councilmembers Lynch and Jones have “said they would support increasing the proposed $2.9 million allocation for the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund to $10 million.” Council has final say on the budget, so we’ll see if either of these councilmembers introduces amendments to increase this year’s allocation to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund—and bonus points if they take the time to figure out how to pay for those amendments, too.Second, the Governmental Operations committee meets today and will discuss RES. 2021-R019, a pretty boring paper that would request the CAO to create a digital connectivity map for the City. Council hopes to use this map to plan out the best way to provide universal broadband access for, specifically (like, mentioned in the resolution text (PDF)), Black and Brown families. That’s not boring at all, and you’ll remember Henrico was working on a similar thing a couple months back.Third, the Mayor introduced ORD. 2021–078, which will officially accept about $2 million from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transit to paint the Pulse lanes red from Hamilton to Foushee Street—the center-running section of the Pulse. Red lanes, which is a Bus Rapid Transit best practice, will help keep drivers (and pedestrians) out of the bus lanes and keep the buses moving quickly and safely. I’m stoked on this, and the Mayor’s press release says we should see the project completed by next spring! Because I can’t not, I’m interested in what this sentence in the Background portion of the ordinance means: “The project consists of a Design and Construction phase that will determine if solid red-pavement travel lanes will be active 24 hours a day or a combination of hatched red-pavement lanes will be active 7–9:30 AM and 4–6:30 PM.” Are portions of the bus-only lanes peak-only? I don’t think that’s the case, but I’ve been trapped in this house for a long time and maybe have forgotten some details about how the world works! I’ve written about red bus lanes before, if you want to get into it.This morning’s longreadThe Holy Grail of Transportation Is Right in Front of UsIn Richmond, we need the CVTA to fund more regional bus service, and then we need Richmond and Henrico to restore the money they cut from GRTC’s operating budget a couple years back. Then we’d really be at the start of a grail quest.People have said for years that the bus could be the next big thing in transportation. Now we can make that a reality. With the proper investment, city buses might be transformed into the sort of next-generation transportation service that technology companies and car companies have spent billions over the last decade trying to build — a cheap, accessible, comfortable, sustainable, reliable way to get around town. How might we come upon this transportation nirvana? Not through some great technological innovation or a grand infrastructure project. The holy grail is right there in front of us; it’s been right there for decades. All we’ve got to do is buy more buses, hire more bus drivers and, in some places, give buses special privileges on the road. All we’ve got to do is care enough to build bus systems that work.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.Picture of the DayRelated.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 33 °F, and it’s gonna rain. I’m not sure my already-soggy neighborhood needs another half inch of rain, but that’s what’s happening this afternoon. If you need to go out, make sure you bring something to keep you warm and to keep you dry, too.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 2,303 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 134 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 230 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 90, Henrico: 85, and Richmond: 55). Since this pandemic began, 755 people have died in the Richmond region. Now that Chesterfield has its data reporting issue sorted out, the local seven-day average of new reported cases in the region, like the statewide numbers, has fallen to a level not seen since early December. Everyone: Keep doing what you’re doing (unless you’re one of those people who just haven’t changed their behavior at all over the past year—then to you I make a rude gesture with both of my hands). We don’t want a repeat of the winter or last spring. Just look at this powerfully simple graph of weekly deaths in the United States over the last five years. The past 12 months have been real, and its hard to argue otherwise looking at this graph. Almost 500,000 people have died in the U.S. because of this disease—it’s hard to comprehend.Over in vaccine land, I’ve been tracking how much vaccine the state reports receiving each week, and last week was a bust. Just 99,750 doses, compared to an average of 218,892 doses over the previous three weeks. Some of that, I’m sure was weather related, but dang. Everything, and I mean everything, changes when we have abundant supply of the various vaccines—and, I think, that time is coming sooner rather than later.Jessica Nocera at the Richmond Times-Dispatch writes about families making the choice to send (or not send) their kids back to school at Chesterfield’s J.A. Chalkley Elementary. Nocera does a great job of laying out how freaking complex this decision is, especially for families of color: “At Chalkley, where 45% of students returned, only 1 in 3 Black students showed up on the first day back, while nearly half of Hispanic students and about 6 in 10 white students did, according to state and county data. The district’s whitest school zone, Bettie Weaver, had the highest percentage of students who signed up to return.” I think statistics like this underscore how the Governor’s decision to mandate/strongly encourage/whatever that all school districts open up to in-person instruction by March 15th felt a little tone deaf to some folks.As I keep saying, bills can die rapid and interesting deaths in the General Assembly, so don’t get your hopes up. That said, check out this piece by the Virginia Mercury’s Sarah Vogelsong about the GA getting pretty close to adopting California’s “stringent” vehicle emission standards and electric car sales targets. “Transportation”, writ large, accounts for almost 30% of emission in the U.S., and personal travel is a big chunk of that. Converting as many cars as we can to electric will put a big dent in our emissions, but electric cars do not “solve” climate change. They do nothing to make our cities better places to live—places where people can walk, bike, and take transit. They do nothing to combat sprawl, itself a huge driver of emissions. But! We can and should do both things: Create ways for folks to live less car-dependent lives andget as many vehicles running on electricity as possible. Side note: I really like this graph of California’s greenhouse gas emissions by category which shows transportation accounting for 40.1% of the states emissions and passenger vehicles making up 69.8% of that (PDF, p. 6).RVA Rapid Transit has launched a new program, called The Rider’s Voice, to collect stories and experiences of folks who use transit. You can either call in and leave a voicemail (804.286.0007) or take this online survey. This month’s topic is “How has free bus fare affected you?”The RTD’s Michael Martz reports that Urban One, a “Black-owned Washington media company,” will team up with the owner of Colonial Downs and submit an application to build a casino on the Southside of Richmond (the deadline for those applications, by the way, is today at 3:00 PM). I still don’t think I want any resort casinos in the City, but this new proposed location—in a hard-to-reach, Phantom Zone out by the Port of Richmond—is at least better than adjacent to Hillside Court or in the Movieland parking lot. In fact, you might remember this old, unused Philip Morris property as the spot the City briefly pitched to relocate the Department of Social Services during the whole Navy Hill situation—I had a lot of thoughts and feelings about that!City Council will meet tonight, and I don’t see the paper that would accept money from DRPT to paint the Pulse lanes red—but, remember, the agenda can and does change frequently. One new ordinance to keep an eye on: ORD. 2021–021 will keep sidewalk dining applications free for restaurants (normally $300) until June 30, 2021.This morning’s patron longreadShort of Vaccine, States Find Hidden Stashes in Their Own BackyardsSubmitted by Patron Lisa. Hey look, it’s Richmond’s Dr. Danny Avula in the New York Times!Until a software patch was created, vaccinations of hospital staff did not show up in the state’s system. Some clinics were using paper records and were slow to file. Dr. Avula put a 10-person team on “pounding the data,” and the state began rising in the national rankings. Then he tackled stockpiles. Walgreens and CVS had already drawn down most of the quarter-million doses allotted to the state’s long-term-care program. On Jan. 25, with the C.D.C.’s permission, Dr. Avula put the 62,000 doses that were left under state control. Many other states are doing the same. At least 20 states said they had shifted or planned to shift doses that had been set aside for long-term-care facilities, according to a New York Times survey of all 50 states.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.Picture of the DayI might be getting a little too into these homePod Minis.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 30 °F, and the rest of this morning looks rainy—but not super rainy and temperatures should hop above freezing by this afternoon. Surfaces are slick, so don’t overconfidently stride around, slip, and hurt yourself. As for this weekend, I think we should see the sun for a good chunk of the time.Because, when it comes to winter weather, we are nothing if not an overcautious region, most things are closed or disrupted this morning. Check various website before heading out!Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 2,304 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 15 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 242 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 65, Henrico: 100, and Richmond: 77). Since this pandemic began, 722 people have died in the Richmond region. Here’s this week’s stacked graph of new reported cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. This set of charts really illustrates how the hospitalizations due to COVID-19 numbers are just doing their own thing at the moment. I still haven’t read or seen anything about why that might be. Locally, here’s the combined casecount graph for Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield. You can see that cases in all three localities have now started to trend downward. Jessica Nocera at the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that the recent spike in cases in Chesterfield is a result of data reporting issues—which helps explain why that locality hasn’t followed the slow decline in reported cases seen in Richmond and Henrico. These data reporting issues can have a real impact: Just look at how much of Nocera’s article is focused on school reopening. Without good data, it’s hard for folks, organizations, and institutions to make good decisions.The winter weather’s not just closing local schools, the freezing-cold temperatures in the Midwest and icy weather on the East Coast have delayed Virginia’s vaccine shipments. We’ve already seen local vaccination events postponed this week due to weather, and now I guess we’ll wait to see if this shipping delay pushes even more events. Logistics! A heckuva thing!Get excited: GRTC has some new information up about their Regional Public Transportation Plan. As required by the legislation that created our new regional transportation authority (the Central Virginia Transportation Authority), GRTC outlines two options for how our region can spend that bucket of new money that’s specifically designated for public transportation. Option #1: The Ridership Concept, focuses on adding more frequent, more useful service to our major corridors. Option #2: The Coverage Concept (PDF), focuses on providing less-frequent service to as many places as possible. Whoadang, both of these concepts are a lot to take in!The Ridership Concept increases the frequency on the #1 Chamberlayne bus to every 10 minutes, ups the frequency on the #7 Nine Mile bus to every 15 minutes, adds a 30-minute bus to Brook & Parham, and (finally!) extends the #1A alll the way out to Chesterfield Towne Center. The Coverage Concept gets us a bus out to the Towne Center, a new hourly route to the Chesterfield Government Center, and an hourly route up to Virginia Center Commons. I encourage you to scroll around the aforelinked maps to really take in all of the changes and expansions.Both of these concepts come with trade offs. As we’ve discussed as recently as yesterday(!), a bus to all the new development at VCC is great, but an hourly bus is not that useful for folks who don’t want to spend tons of time waiting around on either end of their trip. The Ridership Concept creates more useful transit, that more folks would use, that would then, theoretically, convince our regional leaders to spend even more on public transit. The Coverage Concept, on the other hand, just plain serves more people: 13% more people in poverty and 21% more minority residents would be within a quarter mile of some transit service with the Coverage Concept. Would that “some transit service” be useful enough to actually use to get to work, school, healthcare, or anything else? Probably only as a last resort. You can easily see a world where regional leaders start to complain about how no one rides these not-incredibly-useful buses and then begin to talk about cutting the new service entirely.After you look through the maps and have a think on it, you can fill out this survey. You can also attend a public meeting on the concepts on March 4th at 5:00 PM. According to GRTC: “Based on the feedback received from Phase 1, GRTC will present a proposed regional transit network for feedback. This is where specific routes will be presented and we encourage the public and current riders to share their reactions to the map!”Mike Platania at Richmond BizSense reports that Movieland’s owners are building a drive-in movie theatre in its parking lot. This part, about the particulars, is fascinating: "For the screen we’d be stacking some shipping containers up and building a screen on the front of it…We’d then build a construction trailer for the projector.” I don’t hate it! Movieland will give this new concept a go through “drive-in season” this year, which I didn’t know was a specific season, and then they’ll see if it makes sense to leave it up permanently.Episode four of Black Space Matters is out! This week Duron Chavis hosts Silly Genius, a Richmond-based artist and founder of All City Art Club. I’ve written about Silly Genius before and the work All City Art Club is doing to bring more public art to often overlooked neighborhoods—with a focus on the Southside. You can check out some of that art over on the @allcity.artclub instagram.This morning’s patron longreadWhat If We Never Reach Herd Immunity?Submitted by Patron Susan. I think this article was meant to Bum You Out, but, I dunno! Learning about the science of vaccines makes me feel less unmoored.Think of immunity from vaccines not as an on-off switch but as a dampener on the virus’s ability to replicate inside you. There are four important thresholds, from easiest to hardest to achieve: protection against severe symptoms, protection against any symptoms, protection against transmission, and protection against infection. Most of the topline efficacy numbers for vaccines are against symptoms; to prevent transmission, though, which is key for herd immunity, the vaccine needs to tamp down viral replication even further. That’s why vaccine efficacy against transmission is expected to be lower than efficacy against symptoms—exactly how much lower is still unclear.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.Picture of the DayStop…being so icy.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 51 °F, and today looks like a lovely, not-particularly-fall day with highs in the mid 70s. Enjoy it for a bit as rain could show up in the forecast later this week.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,302↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 3↘️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 195↗️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 61, Henrico: 71, and Richmond: 63). Since this pandemic began, 439 people have died in the Richmond region. Over the weekend we saw our second day ever with upwards of 2,000 new reported cases. Also, percent positivity continues to creep upward statewide, hitting 6.0% yesterday. I mean! Seems like we need a change in behavior to see a change in some of these numbers, right?As far as schools go, VDH’s K–12 Schools Reporting Outbreaks of COVID-19 dashboard reports one outbreak in progress locally, at Chesterfield’s Bon Air Elementary. Related, the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Jessica Nocera reports that Chesterfield will return their 6th–12th graders to in-person learning today. We’ll see if having 60,000 students in school buildings leads to a bunch more cases of COVID-19 or not. Nocera says 28,600 students are already back at the moment, and, as we saw on the aforelinked dashboard, the County has one outbreak in progress with fewer than five cases. 5/28,600 is a very small—yet non-zero!—number. This is a complex conversation, and, whatever you think about kids going back to school before we have a widely distributed vaccine, the context of our current conversation must be the local coronadata…which is trending in the wrong direction.Local election results! We don’t have 'em, but the registrar says we’ll learn more tomorrow. For what it’s worth, VPAP has updated City Council election data as of 10:19 PM last night, and has put winner check marks next to: Tavarris Spinks in the 2nd District, Ann Lambert in the 3rd District, and Reva Trammell in the 8th District. 8th District Candidate Amy Wentz hasn’t yet conceded, but the vibe of her Twitter leans in that direction, which makes me incredibly sad. Nationally, I don’t have much to add. Joe Biden won the Electoral College, the popular vote, and in just a couple of months we’ll have a Black woman serving as Vice President. Saturday felt pretty good!City Council meets today for their regularly schedule meeting. At the 4:00 PM informal session they’ll hear a “2020 CAFR Presentation” (PDF), which isn’t the actual Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, but a presentation about that report, which should be posted to the City’s website soon enough. I’m not a CAFR-reader, but I do celebrate its on-time delivery. Of note on Council’s formal session agenda (PDF), which, of course, can still change: ORD. 2020–222 which would allocate funding for building a safer pedestrian crossing on Grove Avenue near St. Catherine’s School, ORD. 2020–224 which would rename Confederate Avenue to Laburnum Park Boulevard, and ORD. 2020–103 the rezoning of properties around the Science Museum, Alison Street, and VCU/VUU Pulse Stations. The first two sit on the consent agenda and should pass with no issue, the latter I’m kind of surprised not to see continued until some future date—especially with a new 2nd District rep about to take over for Councilperson Gray (in whose district this rezoning takes place). Y’all already know how I feel about this rezoning and the opposition against it. If Council wants to wait until their newest members are seated to pass this ordinance, fine, but, regardless of who makes up City Council, increasing density around Broad Street in accordance with our adopted plans should be an easy vote. That it’s not speaks to the reality that our local legislative body is just not very progressive—despite 82.78% of the City voting for Joe Biden last week.I have two Richmond Public Library updates for you! First, city libraries will open back up today for limited use. Make sure you check your individual library’s page to see what’s exactly open and how the safety procedures will work. Second, RPL will host a conversation with National Book Award winner James McBride and poet Kiki Petrosino tonight at 7:00 PM. It’s free, sounds rad, and you need to sign up ahead of time!This morning’s longreadWhy Americans Have Turned to NestingFeel empowered to fix all of the little things that create a background radiation of annoyance in your life!Of all the things that I’ve done to better my apartment, soothe my anxieties, or occupy my time during the pandemic, nothing has worked quite as well as replacing my kitchen faucet. The project cost $75 and took about an hour—it would have been even faster if I hadn’t needed to learn some tricks for removing bolt covers with needle-nose pliers and loosening a seized nut with a lighter. But those roadblocks made it all the more satisfying. Not only does the more functional faucet make my now-constant dishwashing less of a slog, but installing it was a reminder that there are still some problems that can be solved by one person wielding the right tool—or even the wrong one, if you can figure out the magic combination of search terms to punch into Google.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 57 °F, and highs today will stick around in the mid 70s. We could see a bit of rain and clouds move through this morning, so keep an eye on that.Water coolerThe Richmond Police Department is reporting that two people were shot and killed this past Monday. In the morning, officers were called to the 1500 block of N. 21st Street and found Stanley L. Robinson, Jr., a man in his 20s, shot to death nearby. Later that afternoon, police were also called to the 3500 block of E. Richmond Road and found Surita M. Abdul-Majid, a man in his 30s, shot to death inside a residence. According to the RPD’s website, I think these are the 43rd and 44th murders in 2020, which is on pace with last year’s numbers.As of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 580↘️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 29↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 49↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 22, Henrico: 16, and Richmond: 11). Since this pandemic began, 365 people have died in the Richmond region. Note that the number of new deaths reported should still seems high to you, and that’s because VDH has extended the alert on their website about a data backlog through September 25th. You can see those recent death numbers in context on this graph generated by my new, public coronacounts Google Sheet—you can also see the unacceptable labeling of the x-axis that I just cannot figure out how to fix.The Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Jessica Nocera and Kenya Hunter have an update on the number of public school employees that have tested positive for COVID-19. After, I’m sure, an annoying amount of time combing through emails and PDFs, they’ve got the regional counts as at least: 21 cases in Hanover, 33 in Chesterfield, 22 in Richmond, and 30 in Henrico. Critically missing in this analysis is…the denominator! What does 106 positive cases among public school staff mean? Is it a lot? According to Nocera and Hunter, with 17,001 total positive cases across those four localities, public school staff make up less than one percent (0.6%). But how many public school staff are back to work and is 106 a big percentage of that number? How does the incidence rate among teachers compare to the incidence rate in the general public (around 1.7% if I did the math right). How does it compare to, say, grocery workers or bank tellers or waitstaff? I have no idea! But it’s really hard for me to look at a number like “106” with no context and have any sort of idea if we’re doing a good or bad job creeping toward reopening schools.Folks returned to Richmond’s streets last night to protest a Kentucky grand jury’s decision not to file homicide charges against the police officers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor. I don’t mean to imply that there haven’t been protests in Richmond since early summer, there have, but last night’s seems like the most well attended in at least a month (although I’m having trouble keeping track of time lately). Jimmie Lee Jarvis has, of course, a long Twitter thread of photos and videos from throughout the night as does the CT’s Hannah Eason. While dozens of gear-laden riot police did show up to Protect Their House (from line dancing??) and stand in intimidating lines, it sounds like that was mostly the extent of their actions throughout the night. I think a couple protestors were either detained or arrested for unclear reasons, but, I didn’t see any explosions, clouds of gas, or wizzing rubber bullets. I’m thankful for that. I did however see plenty of mask-less cops; I count at least 11 in this one photo.Style Weekly has a mayoral questionnaire about the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority that you should read. Public Housing is one of those things in Richmond where it’s not always obvious which part of our government is responsible for which part of the process. I’m still learning, but a few things I’m keeping in mind while reading this survey: A ton of the money to support our local housing programs comes from the federal government, that said the Mayor puts together the budget which should reflect his or her priorities, and (as Councilmember Jones reminded us the other day) City Council approves that budget while alsoappointing the RRHA board—a board responsible for making sure the Authority wins those important federal dollars. Feels like an ouroboros sometimes.I love intersection murals, and Bike Walk RVA has an application in front of the Public Art Commission today to lay down two on the Southside (PDF)—one at Hull Street & 11th Street and one at Lynhaven Avenue & Wright Avenue. Silly Genius and the All City Art Club will provide the art, some of which you’ve definitely seen pop up around town. I love this bit from All City Art Club’s about page: “Founded by Silly Genius, All City Art Club’s mission is to introduce street art to underserved communities without the goal of tourism or gentrification. Residents should not have to be pushed out in order to make a community beautiful.”Via /r/rva, look at this render? drawing? actual old photo of City Hall? with a park on the Marshall Street side of the building. Did this actually exist before the Social Services building got built?? Regardless, now I get why the “back” of City Hall looks so much like it should be the front.First, there’s a free COVID-19 testing event today at the Randolph Community Center(1415 Grayland Ave) from 9:00 AM–11:00. This one is not rain-or-shine and has a back-up rain location, so keep an eye on the sky! Second, it is definitely flu season—like, regular ol' flu, not, fingers crossed, pandemic flu. As such, our local health district will kick off their free flu vaccination clinics for uninsured and underinsured folks on October 2nd. Spread the word, not the virus!This morning’s longreadThe Big and the SmallHow big is big and how small is small is something that our human brains have a really hard time understanding. This piece will momentarily help, but your dumb brain will instantly forget the second you finish reading.The problem with humans talking about sizes is we just don’t have the right words to do it correctly. We can try our best, calling the biggest things “enormous” or “huge” or “vast,” but those are the same words we use to describe elephants or mountains or the ocean. We can try to describe the smallest things by calling them “tiny” or “microscopic”—but those words describe a grain of sand and an amoeba, which are both huge, vast, and enormous compared to all the far smaller objects. Adjectives just aren’t gonna do the job here. So instead, let’s work our way from the biggest to the smallest using a series of steps, and maybe that’ll work better.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.
