Orange Line service begins farther north of the PortlandbMilwaukie segment at Union Station/Northwest 5th & Glisan station near Portland Union Station in downtown Portland, where southbound Yellow Line trains operate through into the Orange Line to serve the 5th Avenue segment of the Portland Transit Mall. Conversely, northbound Orange Line trains operate through into the Yellow Line to serve the 6th Avenue segment of the transit mall. Just south of the PSU South stations, the Portland-Milwaukie segment begins where tracks travel east along the median of Lincoln Street to a stop on 3rd Avenue. From here, the line continues east along Lincoln to an elevated viaduct after an intersection with Naito Parkway. The viaduct carries the line over Harbor Drive and River Parkway to the South Waterfront, where tracks merge with those of the Portland Streetcar's Loop Service. The lines then cross the Willamette River on Tilikum Crossing. On the opposite end of Tilikum Crossing in Southeast Portland, the streetcar tracks diverge near OMSI. The MAX tracks turn southeast and run parallel to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). A stop is located near the intersection of Clinton Street and 12th Avenue. At 17th Avenue, the line turns south and runs along the median of 17th Avenue with stops at Holgate Boulevard and Rhine Street. It exits the median just north of McLoughlin Boulevard and continues parallel to this road, the Portland and Western Railroad, and UP through to Milwaukie, with stops at Bybee Boulevard and Tacoma Street.:15b16 After a stop at Main Street in downtown Milwaukie, the line traverses the Kellogg Bridge across Kellogg Lake to 22nd Avenue. From here, the tracks leave the viaduct and again travel at-grade alongside McLoughlin Boulevard to a three-track stub terminal at Park Avenue in Oak Grove, just south of Milwaukie prop ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2021 10:40:00 +0200 From: "ClearView" Subject: HD Night Vision Glasses with polarized lenses for Men and Woman This email must be viewed in HTML mode. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2021 04:10:51 -0400 From: "Bidenās Gun Control" Subject: Legal Trick to "Opt-Out" of Biden's Gun Control Legal Trick to "Opt-Out" of Biden's Gun Control http://hoponopono.co/lKRG1D0Qcc73iR4XlEhKp_foRikQ6kWTXk2-6mePj8pIuNV- http://hoponopono.co/zfbGiuwPmMwO_bKP-osi_FkmXdGaZ23NrCIg_Z4Y5zYl52a0 eral months before the inauguration of MAX, Metro, which replaced CRAG in 1979, renewed talks about extending light rail from Portland to Milwaukie and Oregon City via McLoughlin Boulevard and proposed converting the partially realized I-205 busway between Portland International Airport and Clackamas Town Center from a busway into another light rail line. By this time, TriMet had already prioritized planning for a westside extension of MAX to Hillsboro in Washington County. Noting federal funds could only be spent on one light rail project at a time, Metro's Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT) made the I-205 line their next priority after the westside line due to the existing I-205 busway right-of-way; the McLoughlin Boulevard line became JPACT's third priority. Despite this decision, Clackamas County officials went on to dispute the federal money, including $17 million in excess funds that had been allocated to the partially realized I-205 busway. To settle the issue, Metro released a regional transportation plan (RTP) that reasserted the westside line's priority in January 1989. Failed South/North line See also: MAX Light Rail B' South/North proposal refer to caption A lawn sign supporting the 1998 South/North ballot measure Metro's RTP commissioned studies for the I-205 and McLoughlin Boulevard light rail proposals, and in September 1989, U.S. Senators Mark Hatfield of Oregon and Brock Adams of Washington, who were members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations, secured $2 million from the federal government to assess both segments. At the request of the two senators, a segment farther north to Vancouver and Clark County in Washington became part of the proposals. As the studies analyzed alternative routes, the project's advisory committee increasingly favored an alignment closer to downtown Portland along the busier I-5 and Willamette River corridors. In 1994, Metro finalized a 25-mile (40 km) light rail route from Hazel Dell, Washington, through downtown Portland to Clackamas Town Center, which TriMet formally called the "South/North Corrid

There, hundreds of youth gathered and moved towards the Israeli military base adjacent to the village to the west. Uprooting the fences, they penetrated the base, and waved the Palestinian flag inside. Arab public figures who were there to make speeches attempted to subdue them, but were met with hostility and even beatings. Border police forces who arrived to reinforce the base were stoned by the protestors, some of whom were wearing masks and set fires in the woods. Tear gas and rubber bullets were used to push the protestors back towards the main road where clashes continued. Muhammad Zidan, Head of the Arab Higher Followup Committee, was among those wounded in the clashes, and a 72-year-old woman from Sakhnin was reported to have died in the hospital after injuries sustained from tear gas inhalation. A 2006 report in The Jerusalem Post states that in annual commemorations of the day by Arab citizens today, Israeli security forces are on alert but do not interfere in the protests. During the Second Intifada in 2001, on the 25th anniversary of Land Day, which fell on a Friday, the weekly "Day of Rage", Palestinians were called upon to demonstrate. Tens of thousands of Arab citizens, joined by some Jews, demonstrated in peaceful marches inside Israel, carrying Palestinian flags. During demonstrations in the West Bank, four Palestinians were killed and 36 wounded in Nablus when Israeli forces used live ammunition against protesters throwing stones and molotov cocktails. In Ramallah, one Palestinian was shot dead and 11 others injured when soldiers clashed with 2,000 demonstrators who burned pictures of Ariel Sharon and waved Iraqi and Palestinian flags; Palestinian gunmen also joined the clashes after an hour, drawing heavy Israeli fire from tank-mounted machine guns.

At the time he created DayZ: Battle Royale, around 2013, Irish-born Greene had been living in Brazil for a few years as a photographer, graphic designer, and web designer, and played video games such as Delta Force: Black Hawk Down and America's Army. The DayZ mod caught his interest, both as a realistic military simulation and its open-ended gameplay, and started playing around with a custom server, learning programming as he went along. Greene found most multiplayer first-person shooters too repetitive, considering maps small and easy to memorize. He wanted to create something with more random aspects so that players would not know what to expect, creating a high degree of replayability; this was done by creating vastly larger maps that could not be easily memorized, and using random item placement across it. Greene was also inspired by an online competition for DayZ called Survivor GameZ, which featured a number of Twitch and YouTube streamers fighting until only a few were left; as he was not a streamer himself, Greene wanted to create a similar game mode that anyone could play. His initial efforts on this mod were more inspired by The Hunger Games novels, where players would try to vie for stockpiles of weapons at a central location, but moved away from this partially to give players a better chance at survival by spreading weapons around, and also to avoid copyright issues with the novels. In taking inspiration from the Battle Royale film, Greene had wanted to use square safe areas, but his inexperience in coding led him to use circular safe areas instead, which persisted to Battlegrou ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2021 09:13:25 -0400 From: "Unlock Massive Growth" Subject: Hit This Pressure Point To Increase Your Size by 67% Hit This Pressure Point To Increase Your Size by 67% http://dealshopper.us/cCT-TpNCvwu15b8wJ_0kVkdRVafthiE3eNkz7dwb5Iq3CAea http://dealshopper.us/6x27sH8Ecr6aaw0P0YfAvVd5PozNMi4pqCMg2luksfwm1YPw ly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectlybthe natural satellitesbtwo are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury. The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic. The Solar System also contains smaller objects. The asteroid belt, which lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, mostly contains objects composed, like the terrestrial planets, of rock and metal. Beyond Neptune's orbit lie the Kuiper belt and scattered disc, which are populations of trans-Neptunian objects composed mostly of ices, and beyond them a newly discovered population of sednoids. Within these populations, some objects are large enough to have rounded under their own gravity, though there is considerable debate as to how many there will prove to be.
