Dr. David Alff's talk, "How the Northeast Became an Acela Corridor" is now available on the Alexandria Historical Society YouTube channel! There were some technical difficulties with the Zoom platform that night that prevented some attendees from joining. Luckily, the whole presentation was recovered and can now be watched by everyone. To everyone who attended, we thank you for your patience and understanding and apologize for the tech issues. We are working with Zoom to ensure that these issues are resolved before future virtual lectures. Alff's talk focuses on the Washington DC area's connection to the development of the Northeast Corridor, and Union Station's shifting fortunes over the years. Whether you’re a frequent Amtrak or VRE rider or simply enjoy watching the trains pass through Alexandria, this video offers a great chance to learn more about the past, present, and future of passenger rail in the region. Finished watching the video, and want to keep learning about railroad history? Check out Dr. Alff's book, "The Northeast Corridor: The Trains, the People, the History, the Region."

If you think there is even a remote chance that your organization may have paid too much for workers' compensation premium over the last 6 or 7 years (hint - there's at least a remote chance), we'd welcome the opportunity to deliver similar results for you too! Errors are very common in premium calculation and we know how to find them and fix them!

Good to see that the folks at Cenex and Vauxhall are shining on how the charging infrastructure industry currently measures the success of roll outs and introduction to the new metrics that they are using. There are still flaws with these new metrics but it's a step in the right direction in helping to identify areas that are well and less well served relative to demand. https://lnkd.in/eSNVBkW5
