Interstate 93

HISTORY With more than three million miles of highways and nearly a hundred and fifty thousand miles of railways covering American soil, transportation above ground has become increasingly congested. Tunnels provide some of the last available space for cars and trains, water and sewage, and even power lines. Today, it's safe to bore through mountains and burrow beneath oceans; however it was not always this easy. In fact, it took engineers thousands of years to perfect the art of digging tunnels

The presents may be put away, the last light on the menorah lit, the familiar sound of the Salvation Army ringers no longer greeting us at stores, the Dōngzhì Festival and Winter Solstice a fond memory (with anticipation for the slow return of longer days), but that does not mean that the holiday season has ended!

effective project management model can be illustrated through the lessons learned in Boston’s “Big Dig” project. BOSTON’S BIG DIG PROJECT The idea behind Boston’s Big Dig project was founded in the desire for the city of Boston “to replace the elevated I-93 expressway through downtown Boston with a tunnel” (Poole and Samuel 2). The six-lane elevated expressway would be replaced with an eight-lane system that would be primarily underground (Poole and Samuel). While the overall plan was a

Religious Variety In John Updike’s short story “Varieties of Religious Experience”, he illustrates four different perspectives on the day of the 9/11 attacks and allows for the readers to understand the minds of multiple people on a day that will forever be remembered in American history. Updike seizes the opportunity to see through various vantage points and it also allows for the readers to have wider sense of faith in the short story.

responsibility to make recommendations to offset associated impacts with the proposed project. Although the project is under the jurisdiction of the City of Colton, due to the project’s potential impact to the State facilities, including Interstate 10, Interstate 215, State Route 60, and State Route 91, it is also subject to the policies and regulations that govern the SHS. In the preceding Environmental Impact Report (EIR), we recommend a scoping meeting prior to the preparation of the Traffic

The integration of personal health and financial well-being is, perhaps, the perfect platform to speak to what’s on the hearts and minds of Americans and those who represent them on Capitol Hill. And, as the American Benefits Council approaches its 50th anniversary in 2017, it has appropriately considered how it can leverage this milestone to advance its policy objectives, membership goals and overall awareness of the value of the industry you represent. There may be no better time to open a discussion

Introduction The success of a construction project is influenced by the degree to which the environment accepts the project. Taking into account the stakeholders tends to be valuable for project managers in the assessment of whether the cultural and political situations are likely to undermine the adoption of a particular project strategies. The interactions facilitate an optimum balance between the technical aspects and environmental acceptance of the project (Chinyio & Olomolaiye, 2010). This paper
