Blog #1 - First Person Account - CBTC on the NYC Subway
Have you ever wondered why some lines on the New York City Subway arrive much more frequently than others? Earlier this fall, when I went to Jackson Heights with my roommate, the same thought struck me: it seemed too good to be true that if we missed the 7 train, another would be coming in a mere four minutes. Looking into this further, I learned that one important factor playing a role in improved headway times for some trains is communications-based train control (CBTC). This new system, a major project for the MTA, rolled out on the Canarsie (L) line in 2009, the Flushing (7) line in 2018, and the Queens Boulevard (E, F, M, R) lines starting in 2021 [1]. 
Using the previous system, known as ‘fixed block’ signaling, the train tracks on a given line are divided into stationary blocks to keep trains a safe distance apart [2]. When the equipment on the tracks senses that a train has passed a block, the block is considered ‘occupied’, and no other trains can enter. Two additional ‘buffer’ blocks of safe distance are added behind the train, so that crashes can be prevented. This signaling system is still in use across much of the subway system, but it comes with many drawbacks. For one, most of the system’s signals were installed in the 1930s, meaning that tower operators must manually signal to train drivers that their block is clear so that they can move forward. For another, beyond whether or not a block is occupied, tower operators do not know the precise location of trains or their speed. If these details were known, the space between trains could theoretically be decreased to a minimum safe buffer distance in order to offer more trains per hour to customers on busy lines. With today’s computational power, the MTA is able to use CBTC to accomplish just that.
CBTC is a closed-loop control system, which takes as input the location of two trains relative to each other, their directions of travel, and their speeds. This is accomplished by detection using transponder interrogator antennas (TIAs) under the train, which communicate with other transponders mounted on the tracks. Rather than using fixed blocks, CBTC uses ‘moving-block’ signaling, where the length of a block moves with the train, in order to maintain the minimum safe amount of space between trains (which functions here as the setpoint). If trains get too close to each other during operations, which may happen depending on rail conditions or if a scheduled stop takes a particularly long time to load, the controller slows them down, or may trigger the train’s emergency brakes. Similarly, if they drift too far apart, the controller is able to speed them up. [3]
The MTA has touted many benefits to riders of the CBTC system, including more trains per hour, better on-time performance, and faster speeds. However, the installation of the CBTC equipment required to sense trains has come at a cost to New York State taxpayers, and has resulted in many recent disruptive service outages on the lines where it is being added. In my opinion, CBTC is a welcome addition to the technology powering the NYC subway, and will certainly be appreciated in time by a city full of commuters looking to get around faster.

POP SMOKE
POP SMOKE; THE STORY
Pop Smoke or Bashar Barakah Jackson was an American who was a popular singer, rapper, and songwriter by profession. He was an American rapper closely associated with Brooklyn drill. he rose to fame with the release of his breakout singles "Welcome to the Party" and "Dior" in 2019. He released his debut mixtape Meet the Woo in July 2019 is mainly known for his breakout single titled Welcome to the Party in the year 2019.He was also known for his popular mixtapes like Meet the Woo and Meet the Woo 2. On 03 July 2020, his album titled Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon was released, to pay a tribute to him after four months of his death.Faith is the second posthumous studio album by American rapper Pop Smoke
   ..BIRTH AND EARLY LIFE
He was born on JULY 20 1999 in Brooklyn, New York, to a Jamaican mother ,Audrey Jackson, and a Panamanian father ,Greg Jackson. Greg Jackson is a business man by profession while Audrey Jackson is a housewife . Pop Smoke was thus brought up in an upper-middle-class, Christian family in the neighborhood of Brooklyn. e had an older brother named Obasi j. Jackson attended nine different schools while growing up in Canarsie, Brooklyn as part of a diversion program connected to a weapon charge that has since been dismissed. He played the African drums in his local church as a child. Jackson was expelled from eighth grade for bringing a gun to school and spent two years on house arrest after being charged with possessing a weapon.Jackson started playing basketball as a point and shooting guard. He relocated to Philadelphia to enroll in Rocktop Academy.Pop Smoke never really intended to be a rapper. Before jumping into a career in the music industry, he was actually a sports star who played baseball, football, and basketball. According to reports from The Fader and XXL,. While in school, he excelled as a point shooting guard, which garnered him a full scholarship to Rocktop Academy, a plush, sports-minded prep school in the Philadelphia, Pa. suburbs. Per XXL, the prep school's main purpose is to "get their students attention for college basketball scholarships." Unfortunately, Smoke's basketball career was short-lived.
  XXL revealed that Smoke was diagnosed with a heart-murmur at the age 15, and was permanently benched from competitive sports as a result. According to The Fader, he ultimately left his fancy prep school and returned home after getting into some trouble on the streets , and Jackson eventually turned to street life."Pop Smoke had one run-in with viral fame long before he ever released "Welcome to the Party" — and it was a very great one. The rapper was actually the subject of a 2012 WorldStarHipHop video titled "Young Crip Gets Slapped by NY Bloods After Taking Out Beads."  "You can take the kid out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the kid," he said. "I went to go get some food [in Philly]... these guys were in front of the corner store, I walk in to the spot, they said some crazy sh– to me, and we just end up rumbling' Pop Smoke said.According to The Fader, the video depicts the then 13-year-old school kid getting slapped multiple times in the face by a group of young people from the neighboring town of East Flatbush in a clear effort to publicly humiliate him (possibly for wearing a beaded necklace.).
  "I'm glad it happened as a kid," he told the New York Times of the humiliating incident. "I realized it's time to boss up — life ain't sweet." Boss up, he did. Seven years after the video was filmed, Smoke uploaded his first YouTube video, which has since been deleted, titled "POP SMOKE SMACKS OPP SHAPOW!!!!" The description read: "Pop Smoke catches Blood that smacked him when he was a kid. Now tables turned and pop smoke shows the Blood member how you really shapow somebody." It's probably impossible to verify who the actual "shapow" recipient is here, but the video definitely shows Pop Smoke standing in line at a store, before reaching around the customer in front of him and violently smacking him in the face, sending the man to the ground. 
    .A next door neighbor of Pop Smoke’s, Jessica Lowe, told the New York Times that the gravel-voiced rapper would often carry her groceries up the steps for her when she was returning home from shopping. She also said that he was very friendly with her and her entire family. Jessica stated that she was beyond shocked and thought that the news was a joke was she first heard of the home invasion and murder of her former neighbor.
“I’m glad it happened as a kid,” Pop Smoke said to the Times, referring to his weapon toting troubles in junior high. “I realized it’s time to boss up — life ain’t sweet.” He had hoped to make music that spoke to young people growing up in situations similar to him, those who “got to carry their guns to school because it ain’t safe, but they still got to make sure they get they diploma ’cause they mom could be happy. I do it for them.”
  Pop Smoke might have briefly had a full scholarship, but according to the The New York Times, the rapper lived a "high-risk, high reward" lifestyle throughout much of his teens.  and told XXL that he started selling drugs when he returned home from prep school. By the time he was 16 he was driving a BMW 5 Series — and it's safe to say, not many kids who just get their learner's permit have a $50,000+ car.
  "You like nice things, you got to do things to get nice things," he told the New York Times. It's widely reported that the star also spent two years under house arrest for a since-dismissed weapons charge, and at the time of his New York Times interview, he had only recently gotten his ankle bracelet removed. Apparently, house arrest wasn't even all that tough for the rapper. He told XXL that he spent most of his time reading. "I like to read and f**k a lot of b****s, so I'm good," he said.
 According to the Los Angeles Times, officials believed Pop Smoke was a member of a Crips-affiliated gang.
     MPR was the first time Pop Smoke picked up a microphone
 Pop Smoke's career was a total accident. It happened by chance, and if it weren't for some very good weed, we may have never met the Woo. It's just proof that no matter how hard you make plans, the universe might have other ideas.
  According to a 2020 interview in XXL, Pop Smoke picked up a microphone for the first time when recording "MPR" in 2018. He was visiting a studio in Brooklyn with his friend and then-fledgling rapper Jay Gwuapo, but Gwuapo got too high and fell asleep. While Gwuapo was snoozing, Smoke decided to jump in the vocal booth and give it a whirl. He downloaded a random beat from YouTube, which according to The Fader, was created by 808Melo, an East London-based producer who later became one of the rapper's close collaborators.
 "MPR" was a success right out of the gate. "I knew it hit because it got leaked, and when it leaked, everybody was jacking the song," Pop Smoke told The Fader. "And when it hit I was like, Yo, we got something here, and I kept going." He signed to Victor Victor Worldwide, a Universal subsidiary, shortly after.
  A great rapper needs a great stage name
 Every rapper needs to have a solid stage name, and the "Meet the Woo" singer had a great one — it's a product of both his family heritage and his life on the streets. It also vaguely got him in trouble.
  According to The Fader, Pop Smoke was born Bashar Jackson into a "Panamanian household with a strong female presence." His name is a family nickname. His grandfather started calling him "Poppa," and it stuck in the way all great nicknames do. Smoke's invented surname was given to him on the streets, where he was called "Smoke Oh Guap." It was this surname that ended up being a point of contention when he pleaded not guilty to interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle in January 2020.
 According to the New York Times, the prosecutor Gillian Kassnery argued that Smoke was a flight risk because he allegedly used "at least six aliases." In reference to his rap name, she added, "Not to mention, the alias he most commonly uses actually refers to leaving." Pop Smoke was subsequently barred from leaving the country without government permission.
 The time Pop Smoke was banned by the NYPD
 Pop Smoke's career was still rising when his non-performance at Rolling Loud Festival in New York City's Citi Field made him a tristate area household name. According to The Fader, the star was one of five acts — including 22GZ, Casanova, Sheff G, and Don Q — that the NYPD banned from playing the show. In a letter to the festival (via The Fader), NYPD Assistant Chief Martin Morales expressed fears that the rappers' performances would lead to "a higher risk of violence" and claimed "[the rappers] have been affiliated with recent acts of violence citywide." 
  Pop Smoke only found out he wasn't allowed to perform at Rolling Loud the day before the gig, and it seemed like his performance at Powerhouse Live, a pre-party for Power 105.1's annual concert, was canceled for the same reason. "That was a bummer," he told The Fader, later adding, "The radio knows not to say my name no more."
 Some of the other artists who were booted from Rolling Loud fought back on Instagram. Casanova claimed he hasn't had a felony conviction since 2007. Don Q claimed in a now-deleted post (via The Fader) that he's "never been in any gang activities" and "never had issues at any of [his] previous shows." Rolling Loud maintained that all artists were paid and offered slots at other related festivals around the country as an alternative.
  Grand Theft oh no
 The Rolling Loud Festival wasn't the only time Pop Smoke dealt with the NYPD. In January 2020, the star was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport before a scheduled concert in New York City. According to the New York Times, the star was charged with "interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle." The weirdest part was that the black 2019 Rolls Royce in question was the same one he borrowed for his music video — how was anyone expecting to get away with that?
  Per the New York Times, the owner of the $375,000 car lent the Rolls-Royce to the "Dior" rapper for a single day of filming. When it came time to return it, the rapper was reportedly MIA, so the owner GPS-tracked the car and found out it was "traveling through Arizona," miles away from where it started in Los Angeles. A few days later, Pop Smoke "posted [a] photo on Instagram with the Rolls-Royce in New York." It's hard to say that really helped his case.
 The Rolls-Royce was ultimately recovered by police in Brooklyn outside of Pop Smoke's mother's home with a new license plate and tinted windows. Investigators believed the rapper was responsible for arranging it to be taken cross-country on a flatbed truck, but Pop Smoke pleaded not guilty, was released on a $250,000 bond, and banned from leaving the country without prior permission. He was also ordered to stay away from gang members and the car's owner.
  Pop Smoke threw 'the party' together in 30 minutes
 It doesn't take a lot of time for true brilliance to shine. "Welcome to the Party" became a summer anthem when Nicki Minaj jumped in on the remix, but it only took about the length of an episode of Friends to write most of it. In an interview with The Fader, Smoke claimed he laid down most of the song's foundation in about 30 minutes. How did he do it so fast? The rapper let the vibes take the wheel — or drive the boat.
  "Everything I make just be like, vibes. Yesterday I made a song called 'Drive the Boat.' I just made it cuz I seen a girl go like that," he told The Fader, mimicking the move popularized by Megan Thee Stallion which consists of taking shots, typically of D'Usse, straight from the bottle. "talking about 'Drive the boat.' About to drive the boat with the liquor. So I'm like, hey, I just made a song called 'Drive the Boat.' I gotta have some inspiration. That's when the best music comes up for me."
 The people around Pop Smoke weren't just inspiration for his lyrics. Sonically, Meet the Woo was a transcontinental marriage. According to the The New York Times, 808Melo brought a London influence to the record, which gave it more "bounce" than the typically slower songs drill songs in the U.S.
  Pop Smoke never saw rap as the end game
 Pop Smoke never expected massive rap success. In an interview with The Fader, he revealed that he initially had dreams to go to Howard University — a federally chartered historically black university or HBCU — and join a fraternity. "It wasn't always rapping. Who would have thought I would be a rapper?" he said.
  The "War" rapper built his empire off the backs of his friends and hard work. He purposely kept his efforts as DIY as possible, with a tenacious sense of confidence. "That was my goal — do it by yourself, beat the odds," he told The Fader. "Cuz when you do it by yourself, it hit different. I always knew, I'mma be a millionaire. I always knew I was gonna have bread." (Technically, estimates put Pop Smoke's net worth somewhere in the range of $310,000 to $480,000 at the time of his death, but hey, half a loaf of bread is better than no bread, right?) 
 Despite his success, rap was never going to be Pop Smoke's end game. The rapper told XXL that it's "just another step in his life," adding, "There's no telling what I might do after this. I'll probably open up a store or some sh**." 
 Death
Murder of Pop Smoke
Date;February 19, 2020;
c. 4:30 a.m.[61] (PST)
Location;      Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California, U.S.
Target    ;Bashar Barakah Jackson, a.k.a. Pop Smoke
Attack type; Murder, home invasion
Deaths   ;1 (Bashar Barakah Jackson, a.k.a. Pop Smoke)
Motive   ; Under investigation
Accused Shooter: Unnamed juvenile
Accomplices: Three adults and a juvenile
Charges: First degree murder with special circumstances
On February 19, 2020, Jackson was renting a house through Airbnb owned by The Real Housewives star Teddi Mellencamp and her husband, Edwin Arroyave, in Hollywood Hills, California. At around 4:30 a.m., five hooded men, including one wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun, broke into the house through a second-story balcony while Jackson was taking a shower.[ The intruders held a gun to a woman's head and threatened to kill her. Shortly thereafter, the woman heard the men shoot Jackson three times after an altercation.
 The LAPD received news of the home invasion from a call from the East Coast. Police arrived at the home six minutes later and found Jackson with multiple gunshot wounds.He was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where doctors performed a thoracotomy on the left side of his chest. A few hours later, he was pronounced dead. On February 21, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner revealed that the cause of Jackson's death was a gunshot wound to the torso.
 The LAPD at first suspected that Jackson's death was gang-related as he was tied to the Crips. However, the LAPD later believed his death was the consequence of a home robbery gone wrong. It was believed the intruders stole Jackson's gold watch and other jewelry before running away from the house. In May 2021, a 15-year-old, the youngest of the four intruders, allegedly admitted to killing Jackson over a diamond-studded Rolex during a recorded interview with a cellmate at a juvenile detention center.The 15-year-old told the cellmate that Jackson at first complied with their requests for jewelry but then tried to fight them, and a confrontation broke out in which Jackson was pistol-whipped and shot with a Beretta M9.The intruders made off with his Rolex, which they sold for $2,000.
 The day before his murder, Jackson and friend Michael Durodola had posted several images on social media, including one in which Mellencamp's home address can be seen in the background. The rapper also posted a story on Instagram and Facebook of gifts he had received. One showed the house's full address on the packaging, giving out its location.
Jackson's body was originally planned to be buried at the Cypress Hills Cemetery but was later changed to Green-Wood Cemetery.Family, friends, and fans of Jackson gathered in his hometown of Canarsie, Brooklyn, to show their respects.His casket was pulled in a horse-drawn carriage and was surrounded by glass windows and white curtains. On September 11, 2021, it was discovered that his grave site was vandalized, with the headstone smashed.
 On July 9, 2020, three adult men and two minors were arrested for the murder of the rapper. One of the adult suspects has been charged with murder with a special circumstance that alleged the killing was committed "during the commission of a robbery and a burglary", and another charged with attempted murder.The two juveniles have been charged with murder and robbery in juvenile court.
    Did social media lead Pop Smoke's killers right to him?
 Pop Smoke may have made a fatal error on social media. According to TMZ, the 20-year-old was possibly renting a house — the same house that was invaded — from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Teddi Mellencamp, the daughter of John Mellencamp. The reality star owns a number of properties with her husband Edwin Arroyave in the greater Los Angeles, Calif. area.
 Prior to his death, Pop Smoke was celebrating his stay in Beverly Hills on social media. He posted a location-tagged Instagram Story, and the star's last grid post, where he flexed his Louis Vuitton luggage while his friend Mike Dee held wads of cash, appeared to be outside on a suburban street. TMZ reported that the star accidentally gave away the address of the property when he showed off some gift bags online that were given to him following his No. 7 debut.
 Pop Smoke's social media posts have led fans to suspect that Dee set the rapper up; however, he was quick to dispel rumors. In his sole Instagram post, Dee wrote, "I just lost my f***ing brother, my heart, my dawgz ... y'all don't know what's going on. Y'all come on here playing investigator and bashing me on the internet, I would never in my life set my brother up."
 . 
 Posthumous releases
"Dior", the second single off Meet the Woo, became Jackson's first posthumous solo hit, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 33 on the UK Singles Chart. At the beginning of March 2020, American rapper 50 Cent announced on his Instagram that he had decided to executive produce and finish Jackson's debut studio album. After his announcement, 50 Cent called artists like Roddy Ricch, Drake, and Chris Brown wanting to feature them on the record. Pop Smoke had wanted to take his mother to an awards show prompting 50 Cent to promise to take her to one when the album was complete.
On April 16, 2020, a documentary on Pop Smoke's life was announced to be in the works. On May 14, 2020, Victor announced that Pop Smoke's debut studio album would be posthumously released on June 12, 2020. The album would be known as Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. It was originally set for release on June 12, 2020, but was pushed back out of respect for the George Floyd protests. Instead, on the album's original release date, the lead single, "Make It Rain", featuring fellow Brooklyn rapper Rowdy Rebel was released.
 Rebel's verse was recorded through a collect call since he was incarcerated at the time. The late Virgil Abloh created the album's original artwork. The cover artwork provoked significant criticism from fans who called it "lazy" and "rushed" and felt it was disrespectful. It prompted a Change.org petition attracting tens of thousands of signatures. Ryder Ripps created the final cover art with the chrome rose against a black background. Jackson's mother chose the final album cover hours before the album was released commercially.
 The album was officially released on July 3, 2020,to commercial success, reaching number one in several countries, including on the Billboard 200.All 19 songs on the album charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with "For the Night" featuring Lil Baby and DaBaby, debuting and peaking at number six, giving Pop Smoke his first top-10 hit in the US. On July 20, 2020, on what would have been Jackson's 21st birthday, a deluxe edition of the album was released, and featured 15 new additional tracks. The album's fifth single "What You Know Bout Love", would later end up peaking at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Pop Smoke his second top-10 hit in the US. On February 26, 2021, "AP" was released as the lead single for the Boogie soundtrack. Pop Smoke was cast as Monk in a minor role for Boogie.
 A second posthumous album titled Faith was released on July 16, 2021. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
  Despite his career being cut short unexpectedly, Pop Smoke has bagged and continues to bag award after award.
