Their new film depicts the heroism of overcoming trauma Content warning: This post contains discussion about an act of sexual assault “A rainbow house of cards” is how Troian Bellisario describes the kaleidoscopic, fragile world director Jorey Worb has constructed in their new film, Bite In the devastating 15-minute short — which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival on June 8 — the tenuous peace Bellisario’s character Alexa has achieved through empowering Post-it reminders and an affirmation clicker shatters when her dentist sexually assaults her “That’s the crazy thing about the world that we build for ourselves,” Worb tells NYLON over Zoom. “I can wear all the colors in the world, and I can believe all the things I want to believe, but I need to feel it really inside. And I also do think that the way that we talk about trauma and mental health has been really dark and depressing in the media Worb and Bellisario talk about depicting complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) onscreen and the heroic act of overcoming mental-health issues How did you and Troian make the connection of wanting to work on this together Jorey Worb: It’s very natural because Troian and I are very close this happened in my dentist’s office [when] I was assaulted I called Troian to try and start to process it and it was the first thing I was ever going to direct and I just realized that the only person I wanted to play this role was her Troian isn’t only an advocate for a million and one important causes in the world but she’s really an advocate for people who have something to say in the world Troian Bellisario: It really went from just being friends at first .. it was like “Can you take a look at this?” And then it was like “OK let’s talk about what we need to direct this.” And then eventually it was just kind of like “Would you act [in] this?” And every step was just like let’s just keep working together and bringing this message to life what feelings drove you to write the script I think anyone who’s ever overcome or been through any trauma might have different experiences I went to rehab [at] a place [that] was a couple of other girls and guys like me government actually sends all their Army vets who are on disability to this rehab in Arizona they asked me to do a big speech for everybody And the kind of speech that I was asked to give is that even though the .. And so the thing with me and Bite was this is autofiction Troian knows it’s exactly the way that he moved his hand when he assaulted me And the way I tried to move my arm because I didn’t want to be too much and push him off me And I was frozen because it was a trauma response And so what I was driven by is how do we unify this experience for people and let people know that no matter what they’ve been through And how did you choose the kinds of reactions from the people around Alexa after she’s told them the news Did those also come from your own life or were they an amalgamation it’s just your breast.” That wasn’t my brother [like in the film] And I think there have been so many #MeToo movies — this isn’t depicting the exact things that happened after abuse was really important because I believe that we have to start the cycle of forgiveness in the abuse cycle We need to tell people what they’re doing is wrong which Troian knows because she’s heard the voice note of when I stood up to the dentist outside his office you have to ask” is a line I said to the dentist Bellisario: I’m so grateful to have those voice memos .. because I think a lot of my job was just kind of almost interviewing you and asking: “What were you feeling at this moment What happened next?” And so it really became not a re-creation but a re-conjuring of the circumstances so we could explore it again and dramatize it The biggest thing for me was what do you do with these feelings You can address them for yourself; you can go to rehab But what do you do knowing that that person is still out there in the world I think that’s what you set up so beautifully in the end of the short when his next client comes in I think that was kind of like Jorey’s call to action for herself and making the piece How did it feel to see Bite officially out there Worb: It’s like when you have a little bird inside and you start to let it fly — the response from the industry has been so great But there was one girl who came up to me after [the premiere] and said “I was actually assaulted last week and I didn’t tell anybody.” It’s the one person that sees it who’s been through something who needs it I believe nothing in this world happens by mistake and life doesn’t happen to us — it happens for us And we can try to let people know that there are big opportunities for life changes and transformations in these moments And we are celebrating in this moment together because we know that life is hard and that we can do it no matter what When you believe that everything in life is just an opportunity There’s that line about how heroes aren’t made without scars that the dentist says first in a trite way There were a lot of people saying to cut that line Bellisario: I think it would’ve been cheesy if it had been my line that’s what I think is so wonderful about it Here’s this person who is saying this very amazing and he’s saying it right before he assaults somebody who has also just admitted “I have complex PTSD.” Worb: He probably believes he’s a hero in his own world and he has probably had his own abuse that’s happened in his life At least that’s what I've made up about this guy because I don’t believe people are bad innately — I believe people go through things and they have adaptations Trauma isn’t the memoir and the story of what happened to you Why don’t we talk about the visuals of the film Because I think it’s kind of funny that everything is so saturated and happy and bright but then you have the actual content of the story Bellisario: I want to put it out there that Jorey is that many colors that many incredibly beautiful icons everywhere And that is what is so incredible about her because she has so much inside of her most beautiful rainbow sunshine that you've ever seen And she was like that is the world that Alexa presents and it is so carefully woven together because she hasn’t quite dealt entirely with what’s going on inside of her And so when she has this experience at the dentist and it all fractures Worb: I want to envy the people who overcome things And so we need to show and tell these stories in a way that people can envy the people who overcome things costume and production design are worlds we build to show that life is how you see it And to build the life you want to see for yourself Notices are posted by 10 am Monday through Saturday Adjust Text Size: A+ A- As published in Winnipeg Free Press on Apr 12, 2025 Share your memories and/or express your condolences below.

Sign in Avi Loeb in a Q&A session during the CISO summit in 1440 Multiversity on June 17 I was interviewed for a podcast in Los Angeles about the nature of time with the brilliant hosts Jorey Worb and Devon McCutcheon As questions were flying from both of them the nature of time is very different from the nature of space because there is no way to go back in time whereas we can go back in space Entropy grows over time according to the second law of thermodynamics The arrow of time is also apparent through cosmic history as the Universe started simple and developed complexity over time The initial conditions that followed the Big Bang can be statistically summarized on a single sheet of paper They were characterized by a uniform distribution of matter and radiation to within one part in 100,000 time progressed at the same rate everywhere based on Einstein’s formulation of gravity in terms of the curvature of spacetime This initial state established a universal cosmic clock allowing us to understand how the universe looked like in the past by observing radiation that was emitted at great distances from where the light travel time is up to 13.8 billion years The cosmic clock was initiated at the Big Bang How time progressed before that beginning is unknown without a predictive theory of quantum gravity our understanding of time is limited to the finite interval that elapsed since the Big Bang we will be left lonely in an extragalactic vacuum for the foreseeable future until all the stars will burn up There is plenty of time to adapt technologically to this gloomy future our main existential threats are limited to Earth The arrow of time allows our knowledge about the world to grow but it also has unfortunate circumstances it leads to our own death and to the loss of loved ones The realization that we will die shapes our life artificial intelligence (AI) systems might offer a digital record of people who are not around anymore This would be far more effective at communicating who we are missing than the tradition of inscribing a few words on a tombstone It may even rise to the occasion of representing digital immortality they celebrate birthdays 32.5 more frequently making our lifespan about three millennia in their orbital time unit corresponding to a seventh of a second over the Earth’s lifetime Since AI systems process information much faster than the human brain The equivalent of a human lifetime’s worth of data processing by humans might be processed in a matter of hours by a self-improving AI system in the future What the AI system might do with that knowledge is everyone’s guess there are milestones that we are expected to accomplish during our life: find a partner Jorey and Devon asked me for advice on how to cope with these societal expectations Any step along the way is an opportunity for a new beginning and we should not be trapped in the past because it limits our aspirations for what can be accomplished in the future it is far more important to promote happiness and fulfill your passion irrespective of how long you live Jorey Worb (front left) and Devon McCutcheon (back) with Avi Loeb (June 18 There is so much more we

Volume 12 - 2021 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.704570 This study aimed to address a significant gap in the literature by investigating how Women of Refugee Background (WoRB) conceptualise resilience and identify factors that WoRB endorse as contributing to their wellbeing and coping during resettlement Qualitative interviews were conducted with a group of 21 individuals (nine WoRB and 12 service providers) Thematic analysis identified that WoRB struggled to define resilience with endorsed factors not fitting with current hegemonic Western understandings and theoretical understandings of resilience The findings also highlighted how religious practice finding a community and having a sense of meaning and contribution in their daily life were significant coping and wellbeing factors during resettlement were difficult to access in regional resettlement locations Results of the current study are discussed regarding theoretical and practical implications taking into consideration the unique vulnerabilities experienced by WoRB resettled in regional locations of Australia the current study aimed to explore the concept of wellbeing and coping in WoRB resettled in a regional location of Australia this work holds the potential to inform future policy and practices that can more realistically seek to increase the likelihood of positive adaption and enhanced and sustained wellbeing in WoRB during resettlement and beyond The two main questions explored in the current study are as: (1) how do WoRB define and understand resilience and (2) what factors contribute to the wellbeing and coping of WoRB resettled in regional Australia the current study addresses any concerns surrounding confidentiality and using interpreters by conducting the interview in English Ethical challenges in the current study were also minimised by the selection criterion: being able to speak English at a level where the interview could be conducted in English and providing the participants the opportunity to give either written consent oral consent or both (with seven out of the nine WoRB opting to provide oral consent to participate in the study) The application of these selection criteria aimed to increase the likelihood that the WoRB participating understood the purposes of the study and thus allowing them to provide informed consent Ethics approval for the current study was obtained through the Tasmanian Social Sciences Human Research Ethics Network (H0017941; H20021) and Human Research Ethics Committee at Charles Darwin University (H19003; H19087) The current study used a qualitative methodological framework consisting of individual semi-structured interviews guided by a set of open-ended questions (Table 1) All participants were provided the opportunity to review the questions before starting the interview ‘resilience’ was a term that many WoRB participating in the current study struggled to define or understand time was spent exploring similar terms which could be used as a substitute before the interview starting All participants identified the terms ‘coping’ and ‘wellbeing’ as terms that they understood these terms were substituted for the term ‘resilience’ for WoRB who identified that they did not know what the term ‘resilience’ meant Service providers and volunteers could identify as male or female to participate All participants needed to be over the age of 18 and speak a level of conversational English to participate in the research The location and time of the interview were determined before the interview via telephone participant homes and private study rooms at public libraries WoRB who agreed to participate in the study were offered a $20 gift voucher as compensation for their time All interviews were conducted between May 2019 and August 2020 Data collection was paused between February 2020 and June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic Data collection was re-commenced in July 2020 following ethics approval Tasmania had not had a community-acquired case of COVID-19 for 40days and borders were closed to other states and territories in Australia with hotel quarantine being mandatory for entering the state A total of 21 individuals participated in the interviews (nine WoRB and 12 service providers; four individuals in volunteer-based roles and eight in paid roles) participant demographic information was not collected This was to ensure the confidentiality and anonymity of participants and meet ethical requirements This is due to the research being conducted in a regional location and the participants having unique characteristics (i.e. being a WoRB or working/volunteering for one of the limited refugee support services) which increases the likelihood that they would be more identifiable to local stakeholders All interviews were conducted by the first author (a female clinical psychologist) ranging from 45–75min in length and were audio-recorded resulting in a total of 21 interviews being conducted No participants were known to the researcher before meeting and time was spent developing rapport prior to commencing the interview Audio recordings from interviews were transcribed verbatim and interviewees were provided the opportunity to review the transcript for comment and/or correction Data saturation, the point where no new interview themes emerged, determined the final number of interviews required for the study. Data were continuously analysed throughout the data collection period using NVivo 12 software (Edhlund and McDougall, 2019) An audit trail was kept throughout the research process to aid the researcher in identifying when data saturation was reached the audit trail entries illustrated that the list of new themes began to decline until there were no new themes identified from the 21st interview; hence Two major overarching themes were identified within the data; proactive strengths-based approaches to dealing with adversity and factors contributing to wellbeing and coping during resettlement Several WoRB expressed that although they heard the term ‘resilience’ used often it was a concept that they did not have a clear understanding of ‘Resilience – that’s a term I hear used all the time but I do not know what it means’ – WoRB 3 ‘resilience’ was an entity that helped them ‘cope’ and continue to move forward and I think it is something that makes us deal with and cope with’ – WoRB 7 is to have the strength to keep looking forward ‘It’s almost just like that onefoot in front of the other and looking forward’ – WoRB 8 This ability and strength to keep moving forward were highlighted as being within the day-to-day tasks as WoRB faced daily struggles and challenges during resettlement ‘Their capacity to continue to overcome the challenges that they face in their every day – it’s in the practical’ – Service Provider 1 ‘They [WoRB] are incredibly resilient because to face this every single day I do not know many people who actually could face that level of adversity’ – Service Provider 10 and the capacity to continue moving forward within the resettlement context was expressed as stemming from their past experiences ‘I’ve encountered things that no basic 20-year-old should have to I made the decision to seek asylum for my own safety with my partner at the age of but that was one of the hardest things to do or that we were going to be safe – That’s resilience’ – WoRB 4 ‘We all come here looking for a better life that’s where that resilience comes from and that this is my opportunity to make a better life for myself’ – WoRB 6 ‘I feel like experience contributes a lot I know that’s where I get a lot of my strength from and it’s so much different now’ – WoRB 1 resilience was a difficult concept to define for many WoRB who participated in the current study to define it was a concept which encapsulated moving forward and coping This was highlighted as not being isolated to the ‘big events’ but rather was something that WoRB pulled upon every day as they faced adversity in everyday basic tasks during resettlement WoRB also highlighted how their past experiences play a large role in their present-day ‘resilience’ and how their past experiences of adversity play a pivotal role in moving forward The WoRB interviewees expressed several factors which contributed to their wellbeing and coping and resilience during resettlement falling under three sub-themes: engaging in religious practice finding a community and sense of meaning and contribution WoRB emphasised the importance of their religious practice during resettlement and how engaging in religious practice provided them with meaning Religion is very important in our family’ – WoRB 5 ‘Our people often get together in someone’s house so they are able to get together to celebrate important festivals and religious event and that is also how they are able to get more connected with each other’ – WoRB 7 Service providers supporting WoRB during resettlement also emphasised the importance of engaging in religious practices during resettlement which may not be initially conceptualised as an important coping or resilience factor from a western perspective they are fiercely attached to their religious beliefs and I suspect that underpins their resilience’ – Service Provider 12 ‘They turn to the few things that are their strengths so faith – unbelievably strong and that’s something in our western world that’s … I’m sure it must be challenging for them because we are all a bit – ‘hah It must be really hard because it is a key for survival playing to their strengths’ – Service Provider 1 Despite religion being identified as a key factor in coping and wellbeing during resettlement for WoRB interviewees highlighted that often there was no placed of worship attached to their faith in the regional location which they were resettled so we have time to pray’ – WoRB 5 no church… it’s full stress’ – WoRB 2 ‘We cannot go and practice our religion because there is no mosque’ – WoRB 6 The lack of places of worship for some religious denominations in regional resettlement locations was expressed as a gross oversight in government policy suggesting that there is limited consideration surrounding what factors will assist WoRB cope and achieve wellbeing during regional resettlement ‘[Practicing Religion] is what’s going to actually give us the wellbeing we need and give us the opportunity and our children to be able to keep that practise ongoing ‘It’s that acknowledgement and opportunity to regularly practise their cultural experiences or traditions we have a small number of Muslim communities There is no prayer centre in Launceston so they come here and they are allocated to Launceston and there is nowhere they can go to pray and there are no faith leaders’ – Service Provider 1 The WoRB and service providers emphasised that finding a community as imperative for WoRB is ongoing wellbeing during resettlement because you leave that behind’ – WoRB 1 ‘Everyone here is my community… it does not matter where they come from They are my community…I am happy here in my country… I decide yes ‘Building linkages with either their own ethnic group some sort of collective support’ – Service Provider 12 ‘I think it’s important they find a community: whether it’s I just think they need to find others who can provide them with support and encouragement’- Service Provider 5 this sense of community stemmed from a connection with a community from their country of origin Ongoing connection with a community from their country of origin provided the WoRB with connection to their culture and language of origin ‘It makes me so happy like for example when I hear <language of country of origin> you are from <country of origin> because we do not have enough English to say the truths… but when people can understand your language it can make you happy’ – WoRB 2 it got easier once more people started to be resettled from the background that we come from and so then we could share each other’s issues with each other and get help if needed’ – WoRB 6 ‘Now we have much more people who are from our background and who can speak our language so we often gather up and do lots of activities like social events and different festivals and getting together This helps us feel really connected with each other’ – WoRB 9 Despite identifying that having a connection with individuals from the same community of origin is important for wellbeing and coping during resettlement WoRB expressed that this is often difficult due to a lack of critical mass particularly if individuals of refugee background leave regional areas due to lack of support and limited job prospects without any other people from [identified country of origin] but two families have gone and we are still here’ – WoRB 5 like community – small community groups is really hard We see a lot of people transferring interstate recently actually So the support networks in Hobart are limited’ – Service Provider 4 ‘And the lack of numbers sometimes at the end of the day and a lot of people are moving interstate because there’s a lot more flattering options for employment and housing maybe here for 20years and they are packing up because the mainland’s offering better options – Service Provider 12 The lack of critical mass meant that many WoRB found a new community and support via connecting with their host community with some WoRB choosing to engage with the host community for support due to experiencing ostracism from their own community of origin during resettlement ‘I used to think that it was important that people got together with people from their community they could support each other And it did not take long for me to realise that many individuals actually do not want to be part of their ethnic community here in Australia for lots of reasons I remember being a bit naïve about that’ – Service Provider 2 ‘I made the assumption that she had adequate social supports because there we had a nice sort of a number of other families from [her country of origin] but then down the track I realised that she was actually vilified or ostracised a bit by the other women because she’d been a widow “Do you want me to find supports from Australian women?” and she was almost like yes that is what I want”’ – Service Provider 12 This connection with the host community was identified as initially stemming from the support of a volunteer who not only provided practical support during the initial resettlement stages but often were a key source of connection and social support ‘Volunteers is such a huge part of like someone’s settlement journey volunteer or host family or a person in the community who is not of your culture to kind of walk you through and be with you’ – Service Provider 3 ‘They become–they become friends really WoRB emphasised that contributing to the community in their resettlement location provided them with a sense of meaning and belonging which in turn improved their wellbeing and coping during resettlement you only really start to feel settled when you get into a regular rhythm every day I feel like I’m only starting to feel settled now because I have work and I’m making some income so that makes me feel a lot better about things and feeling a little more normal’ – WoRB 1 The WoRB in the current study highlighted that this sense of belonging and contribution stemmed from gaining employment which not only provided them with additional income but connection and social support from the wider community so you can get up in the morning and get dressed and say it is important that I am not in the house for 24h – WoRB 2 so I am able to talk with people and feel useful So I am able to meet people and I am not lonely and alone during the day’ – WoRB 4 but also it gives us a sense of meaning and something to do’ – WoRB 7 WoRB resettled in regional Australia identified several key factors which contributed to their coping and wellbeing during resettlement finding a sense of community and having a sense of meaning and way to contribute within the community it was also identified that WoRB often struggled to access and engage in these factors lack of critical mass and lack of ongoing job opportunities This study explored the concept of resilience and factors that contributed to wellbeing and coping in WoRB resettled in regional Australia Twenty one interviews were conducted with WoRB and service providers supporting WoRB with thematic analysis used to analyses the data Results revealed insight into not only how WoRB understand resilience but also factors that are critical to coping and wellbeing during resettlement this research uniquely highlights how these adversities in everyday life are amplified when being resettled to a regional location of Australia Regional resettlement contexts challenge WoRB across multiple facets of wellbeing including their capacity to access practical necessities (employment but also spiritual (places of worship) and social (lack of social and cultural connection opportunities) needs The daily challenges and adversity that WoRB resettled in regional Australia face deserves more acknowledgement as to does the commitment shown by WoRB to moving forward and dealing with constant challenges across a prolonged period of time Overall, future research should be mindful of the non-critical application of ‘resilience’ in research focusing on refugee populations, and minority, non-Western populations in general (Ungar, 2005; Lenette et al., 2013) Developing and implementing a culturally grounded resilience framework which can account for the aforementioned factors not only identified in the current study offers the potential of a more appropriate approach to anticipating the needs of WoRB and facilitating their adaptation Developing a culturally grounded framework also represents the opportunity to inform future research questions in an area that is becoming increasingly important in countries taking in WoRB Developing such a framework should be a focus of future research a section of this research aimed to research the concept and understanding of the term ‘resilience’ in WoRB For many of the women who participated in this research Although this is a valuable finding within itself it may have also been hindered by the research being conducted in English the current study did not collect participant demographic information This was a deliberate decision by the research team to reduce the likelihood of participants being identified This is particularly pertinent in the current study due to it being conducted in a regional location with some ethnic groups only having two-three families living in the regional location identifying that a WoRB from that ethnic group participated in the study would have significantly reduced anonymity collecting and reporting demographic information would have provided important information pertaining to the generalizability of the current study population to future research; thus the current research focused on WoRB resettled in a regional location in Australia; thus the findings may have limited applicability to locations outside regional Australia the findings may provide insight into factors that need to be taken into consideration when resettling refugee populations to regional locations internationally including lack of critical mass and difficulty in finding employment The findings of the current study support the need for research to move away from the application of Western-centric resilience frameworks in research focusing on non-Western populations and advance the understanding of adaptive experiences of WoRB during resettlement The current study not only identifies factors that are identified by WoRB as being core to their coping and wellbeing during resettlement but also highlights the lack of consideration of these factors from a policy perspective By identifying how many WoRB would be unable to access the identified coping factors where they were resettled the continued use of Western-centric resilience frameworks may adaptation and the quality of their settlement and development experiences It is thus important that future research and practice develop theories and intervention strategies developed from WoRB accounts of their socio-cultural beliefs and practices rather than trying to fit them into a one-size-fits-all western model The anticipated growth in the numbers of WoRB over the coming years and decades makes this a research and professional imperative The study was conducted according to the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki by the Institutional Review Board (or Ethics Committee) of Charles Darwin University (protocol code H19003 and H19087 respectively) and University of Tasmania (protocol code H0017941 and H0020021 The patients/participants provided their written

Dec 22 30 September 2022 saw the closure of the historic Milan-Limbiate line witness to a vast network that had been in operation since the end of the 19th century and unfortunately now suppressed.Opened in 1882 from Milan to Affori in horse-drawn traction the line was then taken over by Edison in […] the line was then taken over by Edison in 1900 which proceeded with its immediate electrification still today the site of the depot and a substation management of the line had passed to STEL (Societa’ Trazione Elettrica Lombarda) The terminus in Milan was moved in 1932 from Porta Volta to Piazzale Marengo near today the site of the Strehler theatre The 1950s saw a double move of the terminus in 1952 from Piazzale Marengo back to Porta Volta and in 1958 to Via Valtellina a large terminus shared with the lines to Carate and Milanino The Porta Volta terminus was soon used by buses of the B and C lines The ring at Piazzale Marengo was used by the Milan – Bruzzano line ran along Via Vincenzo da Seregno and stopped at what is now Piazza Fortunato and was identified by Roman numerals (first the XVIII then the IV) In 1961 the line was included in the grid of urban lines and was renumbered 9 along with the Milano Monza and Milano Corsico the tramway underwent two major route changes The first was the relocation of the route to the then new Viale Rubicone The route was reduced by 400 metres and the 40 per cent ramp was eliminated in addition to the construction of its own seat the route between the village and the hospital was changed which was reached from the opposite side.The single-track line benefited from a number of doubles 600 V direct current.The rolling stock consisted mostly of the ‘Desio’ and ‘Reggio Emilia’ engines  and their trailers.Between 1978 and 1981 with the abolition of the Gorgonzola – Vaprio /Cassano  and the Milan – Vimercate lines  on the Milano Limbiate were transferred  blocked trains 3 pieces with a traction unit in the middle obtained from the transformation of ordinary material dating back to the 1940s and 1950s; the 1941 series 800 traction units (then the most powerful in Italy) and 1953 series 500 were used The material was transformed between 1961 and 1964 by the ATM General Workshops and five trainsets have served in practice to date.The need to extend the construction sites for the third underground line in Piazzale Maciachini and Via Imbonati led to the closure of the section between Via Valtellina and Via Vincenzo da Seregno in 1999 effectively isolating the line from the rest of the network creating an excellent interchange with the underground but eliminating the Viale Rubicone section which could have been used for the extension to the new Niguarda hospital emergency room was 11.6 km long.Although the line performed a valuable task it was unfortunately never the subject of radical intervention; in 2006 a tender for the necessary reconstruction into a LRT was postponed due to lack of funds; It was only in 2017 that some maintenance work was carried out including the replacement of deteriorated sleepers and the replacement of some bell-shaped horns with traffic lights interventions that made it possible to extend the service until 30 September 2022 The EUR 6 million needed to maintain the service For the complete redevelopment of the line to which another 24 million euros will probably have to be added The tender for the purchase of new rolling stock and the contract will be awarded to the Swiss company Stadler in 2020 for an initial batch of 10 cars The new rolling stock  will allow various performances The project to upgrade the line from Comasina to Varedo Fundamental is the redevelopment of the infrastructure which must be with high platform so as to guarantee flush-mounted rolling stock; the new track bed will allow an increase in commercial speed The Varedo depot can be equipped with all the necessary equipment and there are several examples of small but completely autonomous facilities such as the Agno depot of the Lugano Ponte Tresa railway An important intervention will certainly be the securing of driveways and crossings increasing reserved lane sections and adopting the traffic light system Valuable references are the German Stadtbahn such as Basel Land Transport’s line 11 from Basel to Aesch which will also be used on the future urban section of Lugano and the lines that from the urban section continue into the suburban area The latter is rated 6 by the operator Bernmobil It derives from the merger of two partly overlapping lines which ran from the Fishermatteli district to Ostring and the suburban Bern Helvetiaplatz – Worb The current line has a journey time of 40 minutes Approximately half of the line is single-track also taking advantage of a long doubling at Gumligen 15 minutes in the evening and on public holidays The presence of the single track does not cause any problems for operation the doubling of the stops and the long doubling at Gumlihgen are used The stops must be equipped with the necessary information.In Italy good examples are the Bergamo Albino tramway and the Cagliari – Repubblica – Policlinico ( Metrocagliari)  reconstructed on the urban section of the narrow-gauge railway to Isili A 4-km extension to Settimo San Pietro is used promiscuously by CAF vehicles The 12.5-kilometre Bergamo Albino was inaugurated in 2009 by exploiting the Valle Seriana track which was in operation between 1884 and 1967 operated by TEB (tranvie elettriche bergamasche) crosses the urban section of Bergamo as far as Alzano Lombardo and the extra-urban section as far as Albino has 14 intermediate stops (7 of which are in the municipality of Bergamo) in addition to the two terminuses and the operating mode has allowed the insertion of new stops.All road and pedestrian crossings are served by the tram Passages are every 15 minutes during soft hours and 5 minutes during peak periods The grassed track covers about 70 % of the route have been included in an urban redevelopment context with a capacity of 230 seats of which 62 are seated and already in 2010 the number of passengers transported reached an average of 8,300 with peaks of 12,400; the punctuality index of journeys reached 99% There has been a significant decrease in the number of cars entering Bergamo on the route and the T2 line from Bergamo to Villa d’Alme’ is now nearing completion as well as the extension of the T1 line from Albino to Vertova The nearby example clarifies the potential of the Milano Limbiate and also of the Milano – Desio – Seregno could easily repeat the success of the Bergamo tramway © Copyright 2012 - 2025 | Vado e Torno Edizioni | All rights reserved | P.I This website

one or two years maximum A fourth division player in Switzerland has been handed a 50-year ban after kicking a ball in the referee’s face and then spraying him with water According to the Swiss newspaper Blick the defender Ricardo Ferreira of Portugal Futebol Clube was an unused substitute in the 1-0 defeat by SC Worb in the local Bern league But it was not until after the match that he entered the fray kicking the ball in the referee’s face and then hurling insults as the official made his way to the tunnel before squirting him with water “We do not want such a player in our league,” said Robert Breiter the lawyer of Switzerland’s amateur football league “Unfortunately we encounter such cases about once a year.” Ferreira has previously found himself in hot water with the authorities having once been banned for 45 matches after being found guilty of assaulting opposition players and abusing officials Ferreira’s new suspension is officially for an indefinite period but because the governing body’s computer requires an end date That means he will be free to return to football on 5 June Gallagher acquiring Toronto-based Accompass Gallagher & Co. is acquiring Canadian
