A Glimpse Of History, As Museum Of African American History Opens
By Michel Martin,
Published September 24, 2016 at 4:40 PM CDT
Now to a major event in Washington, D.C., today - the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It opened today on the National Mall. President Obama was just one of the thousands of people who attended the grand opening ceremony.
BARACK OBAMA: ...That African-American history is not somehow separate from our larger American story. It's not the underside of the American story. It is central to the American story.
MARTIN: NPR's Sam Sanders was also there today. He walked the Mall and talked to many visitors. And he's made the short trip back to headquarters to tell us about it. Hi, Sam.
SAM SANDERS, BYLINE: Hey, Michel.
MARTIN: So what was the scene out there today?
SANDERS: So there were two scenes. There was a VIP section near the stage outside the museum full of celebrities and dignitaries - President Obama, former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura, Oprah, Colin Powell, Tuskegee Airmen. But then, there were thousands of more people who were on the Mall watching on Jumbotrons there on the grass. The folks that I talked to enjoyed the ceremony, but many noted that it comes at a kind of strange time for the country, given that this has been such a year full of racial unrest. I talked to one woman named Cynthia Kain.
CYNTHIA KAIN: Today felt like it was full of contradictions because all week we're bombarded with how black men are being killed in our country, and yet we're asked to celebrate our culture and our contributions on the Mall. So today felt a little bit strange.
SANDERS: So Kain said that she hopes the museum and its opening reminds the country that there is still work to be done to live up to its ideals.
MARTIN: You mentioned that there were thousands of people there today. But not a lot of them will actually get in to see the museum - at least not today.
SANDERS: That is very true. Most of them won't get in. There's a waitlist that is still months-long. There are some folks that have gotten tickets, but even they won't get in until November or December. The museum is trying to get everyone in at some point, though. They have extra-long hours for the opening.
You know, but lots of people that haven't gone inside today have been reading up on the museum. I talked with one woman named Barbara Fazio-McGrory. She came down from New York. She'll get in on Monday, and she's really looking forward to seeing the museum's unique layout. It starts underground and walks visitors up to the top floor kind of through black history.
BARBARA FAZIO-MCGRORY: The literal darkness of the ground floor, talking about slavery, pictures of people whipped, people hanging from trees, it just makes me very emotional to know that that's there. But then the uplifting of the Yoruba crown and the uplifting to the fifth floor is about the struggle down there and where we are now - not that it's over, it's never going to be over - but there's hope and light and life.
SANDERS: So she told me that the country kind of needs this right now, a bright spot in a year that's been really full of divisive politics in a very nasty election.
MARTIN: So now that the museum is officially open, what's next?
SANDERS: There's a music festival this weekend; it's got Public Enemy, The Roots and lots of others. And the museum is still being actively curated. There were over 30,000 artifacts submitted and only about 3,000 on display right now. So the museum that people see this weekend might not be the museum that you see a year from now. They're going to be cycling all that stuff throughout.
MARTIN: That's NPR's Sam Sanders. Sam, thank you.
SANDERS: Thank you, Michel. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

APB's Mira Sorvino Appears on "The Today Show" to Discuss Her Role in the #MeToo Movement
An Oscar winner, star of the new TV show Condor and a mother of four, Mira Sorvino appeared on The Today Show to share her thoughts on the arrest of Harvey Weinstein, his impact on her career and her part in the #MeToo movement. Sorvino spoke out about her experiences with Weinstein and the sexual harassment she was a victim of while promoting the 1995 film Mighty Aphrodite. After dodging Weinstein's unwanted advances on two occasions, Sorvino experienced a lull in her career due to being blacklisted by Weinstein.
+Watch the Interview on The Today Show
A proud mother of four, Sorvino is making huge strides for the #MeToo and "Time's Up" movements in the hopes of making the future a brighter one for her children and future generations. In addition, she is currently working with California lawmakers on some of the strongest anti-sexual harassment legislation in the nation. It will outline the statute of limitations and training that must take place within companies to prevent such issues.
A lifelong champion of victims of social injustice, Sorvino—known as a "silence breaker"—was inspired by her mother's participation in the march on Washington with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Bright, articulate and knowledgeable about the complex topics she speaks on, she continues to be a powerful voice for important global causes.

I am attempting to locate a reformed presbyterian church in west virginia. Are there any? Thank you.
I apologize for the late response, found your comment in the midst of all the spam. I'm not aware of any Reformed Presbyterian Churches in WV. Our church is affiliated with ECO, A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. I'm aware of churches that are part of the PCA as well.


PCGamesN, one of the UK's leading PC gaming and news websites, was in need of a refresh. It was a fixed width website with a standalone mobile version.
I worked with the editorial and publishing team to understand their business needs. The enhanced branding and look and feel of the new site was well received and mobile traffic increased on launch from 1m visitors a month, to 2.5m.


Eric the Midget called in to complain about Steve Langford covering his life so heavily, but Howard defended Langford, saying yesterday's report about Eric's SFN handle was hilarious. Howard also noted that Eric's statements yesterday about Langford's Canadian background upset a lot of emailers, but Eric didn't seem to care, explaining that he wasn't angry with Canada - he would tell Langford to back to whatever country he was from. Later, SFN kingpin, Mutt called in to confirm that Eric had posted under the handle Romeo Blues, and Eric shot back that he only used SFN as fuel to get pissed off. Howard asked why Eric wanted to get pissed off, so Eric confessed that it was for airtime - he knows Howard likes him better when he's angry. Howard thought the idea of Eric posing as someone else to defend himself was beautifully sad, but Eric still refused to confirm or deny the story: Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

Jason Kenney touts NDP record of low-taxes, efficient power prices during trip to India
5 Comments on Jason Kenney touts NDP record of low-taxes, efficient power prices during trip to India
Jason Kenney touted Alberta's low taxes, educated work-force and efficient power prices to the Indian media during a trip to meet with government ministers and business leaders on the subcontinent this week, according to a report from the CBC.
Rachel Notley
Meanwhile, back in Alberta, political watchers are scratching their heads, wondering why Kenney, actually only the leader of the Official Opposition United Conservative Party, would contradict some of his main criticisms of the New Democratic Party government while he is overseas?
In the clip referred to the in CBC article, Kenney sounded more like actual Premier Rachel Notley or Economic Development and Trade Minister Deron Bilous, than the anti-NDP Kenney that Albertans have got to know over the past year and half.
Kenney has spent the past two years rallying against NDP 'ideological' and 'risky' high-taxes that he argues have destroyed our province's mythical "Alberta Advantage." He has also warned that electricity prices could soon spike because of the NDP's shift toward renewable energy and away from dirty coal-fired power plants.
The truth is that the Kenney we heard from India is correct. Alberta's taxes are low, (I have argued they are lower than they should be), our electricity prices are stable, and our excellent public education system has produced a highly-educated workforce. And Alberta's economy is growing, albeit at a slower rate than the over-heated boom-times we all became accustomed to, according to recent projections.
Prasad Panda
Probably a little confused about what they were hearing from Kenney's trip, the NDP raised questions about the ethics of the opposition leader's trip abroad. I am a little skeptical about whether there are actually any ethical breaches, but there still remains unanswered questions about how the trip to the subcontinent actually began and who or what organization is paying for it.
Kenney says he was invited by the High Commission of India, which is probably true, but it seems unusual for a foreign government to extend an invitation like this to the leader of a provincial opposition party.
The trip was publicly announced mid-week last week and Kenney was on a plane by Friday with his United Conservative Party delegation of Calgary-Foothills MLA Prasad Panda and Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Devin Dreeshen. It is not clear whether the UCP will publicly release the itinerary of Kenney's visit, as would be released with any actual ministerial visit.
Despite his current role as a provincial opposition politician, Kenney very much remains a nationally-minded politician (with frequent trips to Ottawa in his schedule) and has strong connections to conservative politicians in other parts of the world. And he is no dummy. Putting aside the tongue and cheek opening sentence of this article, I doubt Kenney is misrepresenting himself to Indian Government officials by pretending to be a Minister of the Crown. But I think it is entirely possible that he is presenting himself in India as the next Premier of Alberta.
Deron Bilous
The UCP does not have a trade policy, at least not one they have released for Albertans to see, so it is also not clear what kind of promises or commitments he is making to Indian government officials and business people.
Perhaps the UCP leader is so confident that his party will win a solid majority in next year's election that he already feels comfortable embarking on international trips on Alberta's behalf. Kenney has room to be confident, but not to be complacent.
According to two polls, his party's lead ahead of the NDP has shrunk from 24 percent in April 2018 to 14 percent in July 2018. This is obviously still a very healthy lead, but it's only a stone's throw away from becoming a competitive election.
Perhaps the reason for this narrowing of the polls is that Notley's has largely outmaneuvered him on the pipeline issue, leaving him largely sitting on the sidelines. Despite the alternate universes that some media pundits exist in, Notley has become one of Canada's strongest advocates for the oil industry and pipeline expansion (to the chagrin of some environmentally-minded NDP activists).
As I have written in the past, there is value in public officials making international trips to promote Alberta. But the value of overseas trips by government officials remain almost impossible to calculate, and a visit like this by a provincial opposition leader, even a former federal cabinet minister like Kenney, will likely have little impact on actual trade relations between India and Alberta.
As noted in some media coverage of Kenney's overseas adventure, this is not the firs time an opposition leader from Alberta has made an international trip. NDP leader Brian Mason received approval from the Speaker of the Assembly to use public funds to visit Alaska in 2007 to study that State's royalty structure.
Liberal leader Kevin Taft stayed closer to home when he travelled to Winnipeg in 2007 to promote his idea for turning western Canada into an oil refining super-hub. And in the 1993 election, it was reported that NDP leader Ray Martin brought reporters to a hospital in nearby Montana as a way of focusing attention on medicare.

3D Design Studio Invests In HyperloopTT As Immersive Content Developer
Jun 29, 2021 | Travel
Industrial3D announces their work as the media developer for all design elements for HyperloopTT. I3D has taken on this project as an investment for the company's future by being paid in stock instead of cash, to grow energy-efficient transportation.
TULSA, OK, June 29, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — Industrial3D announces their work as the graphic and immersive content developer for all design elements for Hyperloop Transportation Technologies or HyperloopTT. Industrial3D has taken on this project as an investment for the company's future by working for stock investment. Investing is a risk that I3D believes is worth taking as this can revolutionize the transportation industry. Additionally, putting time into new technology can benefit I3D and HyperloopTT immensely if Hyperloop continues to grow, as is expected.
When asked about I3D's involvement in this technology, CEO Beau Brown says, "As a small-medium sized business, we feel very honored for an opportunity to work with new technology that could revolutionize the transportation industry." Brown continues, "If this technology is accepted, HyperloopTT could be the new Boeing of transportation and the ultimate competitor to airline travel."
The concept of the Hyperloop magnetic train was first presented by Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, in 2012. HyperloopTT has taken this concept from an idea to reality with millions of dollars of investments and agreements with governments worldwide. The Hyperloop is a train traveling up to 700mph on magnetic levitation and low pressure. The success of such an innovative way of travel has grown to have an actual, full-size model of the HyperloopTT for research and development.
As HyperloopTT says, "HyperloopTT has brought together a global team to create a frictionless world. By removing the financial, technological, safety, and environmental risks, we're removing barriers to where the world wants to go." Due to confidentiality, I3D cannot share details but is honored to be a part of this innovative technology company to advance transportation.
Industrial3D Inc, founded by Beau Brown, is a 3D Animation & Immersive Media Design Company. What started as a one-person company 25 years ago, I3D quickly grew in 2010 when tasked with developing 3D animations for the BP Horizon Gulf Oil Spill for CNN & Fox News to explain the equipment used to contain the oil spill. Today, I3D works with companies worldwide to develop 3D Animations, Virtual Reality & Immersive Media Design.

Q: how to get ALL your channel-IDs - youtube api v3 I was wondering if it was possible to gain your other channel-IDs, this code under is only getting one channelID (the one channel i clicked on during the authorization).
 def gaining_channelID(youtube):
     channels_list_response = youtube.channels().list(
     part="id",
     mine=True
     ).execute()
    channelid= ""

    for list in channels_list_response["items"]:
          channelid= list["id"]
          print(channelid)
    return channelid

And can i upload videos to your other channels? Or do i HAVE to go through the the authorization again and choose a different channel i want to upload to?
right now it seems like that's the only way
ive been watching this and it said so, but was wondering if it had changed (since that was 2 years ago the question was asked)
YouTube API v3 get all channels associated with a logged in user

A: When you authenticate to the YouTube API you pick a channel.  In my case I have 6 channels I think.   If I authenticate to the first channel I will only have access to the first channels data.
Yes you need to authenticate for each of the channels.  The access you get will be channel specific.

The first USS Juneau (CL-52) was a United States Navy Atlanta-class light cruiser sunk at the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal 13 November 1942. In total, 687 men, including the five Sullivan brothers, were killed in action as a result of its sinking. She was laid down by Federal Shipbuilding Company, Kearny, New Jersey, on 27 May 1940, launched on 25 October 1941, sponsored by Mrs. Harry I. Lucas, wife of the mayor of the city of Juneau, Alaska, and commissioned on 14 February 1942, Captain Lyman K. Swenson in command.[4]
On 17 March 2018, the wreck of Juneau was located by Paul Allen's research crew on board RV Petrel at a depth of about 4,200 m (13,800 ft) off the coast of the Solomon Islands.

Service history[edit]
USS Juneau in June 1942: Her superstructure has retained the Measure 12 camouflage scheme from the first image, but her hull has been repainted into another scheme.
Following a hurried shakedown cruise along the Atlantic Coast in the spring of 1942, Juneau assumed blockade patrol in early May off Martinique and Guadeloupe Islands to prevent the escape of Vichy French naval units. She returned to New York to complete alterations and operated in the North Atlantic and Caribbean from 1 June to 12 August on patrol and escort duties. The cruiser departed for the Pacific Theater on 22 August.[4]
Pacific theater[edit]
After stopping briefly at the Tonga Islands and New Caledonia, she rendezvoused on 10 September with Task Force 18 (TF 18) under the command of Rear Admiral Leigh Noyes, flying his flag on Wasp. The following day, TF 17, which included Hornet, combined with Admiral Noyes' unit to form TF 61, whose mission was to ferry fighter aircraft to Guadalcanal. On 15 September, Wasp took three torpedo hits from the Japanese submarine I-19, and, with fires raging out of control, was sunk at 2100 by Lansdowne. Juneau and screen destroyers rescued 1,910 survivors of Wasp and returned them to Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides, on 16 September. The next day, the fast cruiser rejoined TF 17. Operating with the Hornet group, she supported three actions that repelled enemy thrusts at Guadalcanal: the Buin-Faisi-Tonolai Raid; the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands; and the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (Third Savo).[4]
Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands[edit]
Juneau underway during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, 26 October 1942
The ship's first major action was the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 26 October. On 24 October, Hornet's task force had combined with Enterprise's group to reform TF 61 under the command of Rear Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid. This force positioned itself north of the Santa Cruz Islands to intercept enemy units that might attempt to close Guadalcanal. Meanwhile, on Guadalcanal, the Japanese achieved a breakthrough during the Battle for Henderson Field on the night of 25 October. That success evidently was a signal for enemy surface units to approach the island.[4]
Early on the morning of 26 October, U.S. carrier planes uncovered the enemy force and immediately attacked it, damaging two Japanese carriers (CVL Zuihō and CV Shōkaku), one heavy cruiser (CA Chikuma) and two destroyers, but while American aircraft were locating and engaging the enemy, American ships were also under fire. Shortly after 1000, some 27 enemy aircraft attacked Hornet. Though Juneau and other screen ships threw up an effective anti-aircraft (AA) barrage which shot down about 20 of the attackers, Hornet was badly damaged and sank the next day. Just before noon, Juneau left Hornet's escort for the beleaguered Enterprise group several miles away. Adding her firepower, Juneau assisted in repelling four enemy attacks on this force and shooting down 18 Japanese planes.[4]
That evening, the American forces retired to the southeast. Although the battle had been costly, it had, combined with the Marine victory on Guadalcanal, turned back the attempted Japanese parry in the Solomons. Furthermore, the damaging of two Japanese carriers sharply curtailed the air cover available to the enemy in the subsequent battle of Guadalcanal.[4]
Naval Battle of Guadalcanal[edit]
On 8 November, Juneau departed Nouméa, New Caledonia, as a unit of TF 67 under the command of Rear Admiral Richmond K. Turner to escort reinforcements to Guadalcanal. The force arrived there early morning on 12 November, and Juneau took up her station in the protective screen around the transports and cargo vessels. Unloading proceeded unmolested until 1405, when 30 Japanese planes attacked the alerted United States group. The AA fire was effective, and Juneau alone accounted for six enemy torpedo bombers shot down. The few remaining Japanese planes were, in turn, attacked by American fighters; only one bomber escaped. Later in the day, an American attack group of cruisers and destroyers cleared Guadalcanal on reports that a large enemy surface force was headed for the island. At 0148 on 13 November, Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan's relatively small landing support group engaged the enemy.[4] The Japanese force consisted of two battleships, one light cruiser, and nine destroyers.

Because of bad weather and confused communications, the battle occurred in near-pitch darkness and at almost point-blank range, as the ships of the two sides became intermingled. During the melee, Juneau was struck on the port side by a torpedo launched by Japanese destroyer Amatsukaze,[6] causing a severe list, and necessitating withdrawal. Before noon on 13 November, Juneau, along with two other cruisers damaged in the battle—Helena and San Francisco—headed toward Espiritu Santo for repairs. Juneau was steaming on one screw, keeping station 800 yd (730 m) off the starboard quarter of the likewise severely damaged San Francisco. She was down 12 feet (3.7 m) by the bow, but able to maintain 13 kn (15 mph, 24 km/h).
A few minutes after 1100, two torpedoes were launched from Japanese submarine I-26.[4] These were intended for San Francisco, but both passed ahead of her. One struck Juneau in the same place that had been hit during the battle. There was a great explosion; Juneau broke in two and disappeared in just 20 seconds.[4] Fearing more attacks from I-26, and wrongly assuming from the massive explosion that there were no survivors, Helena and San Francisco departed without attempting to rescue any survivors. In fact, more than 100 sailors had survived the sinking of Juneau. They were left to fend for themselves in the open ocean for eight days before rescue aircraft belatedly arrived. While awaiting rescue, all but 10 died from the elements and shark attacks. Among those lost were the five Sullivan brothers. Two of the brothers apparently survived the sinking, only to die in the water; two presumably went down with the ship. Some reports indicate the fifth brother also survived the sinking, but disappeared during the first night when he left the raft and got into the water.[7] On 20 November 1942, USS Ballard recovered two of the ten survivors. Five more in a raft were rescued by a PBY Seaplane five miles away.[8][9] Three others, including a badly wounded officer, made it to San Cristobal (now Makira) Island, about 55 miles away from the sinking.[10] One of the survivors recovered by Ballard stated he had been with one of the Sullivan brothers for several days after the sinking.[11]
Wreck[edit]
The wreck of Juneau was located on 17 March 2018 by Paul Allen's research crew on board RV Petrel. The cruiser rests 4,200 m (13,800 ft) below the surface off the Solomon Islands in several large pieces.[12][13][14]

Q: unable to access subclass method, is it disadvantage of Generics? or i am missing something List<Employee> empLList = new LinkedList<>();
        empLList.add(...)
Iterator<Employee> descItr = empLList.descendingIterator();

in the  above code i'm unable to access descendingIterator with following error
cannot find symbol
  symbol:   method descendingIterator()
  location: variable empLList of type List<Employee>

to get descendingIterator i have to recast empLList to LinkedList
 Iterator<Employee> descItr = ((LinkedList) empLList).descendingIterator();

My question : In general is the above a disadvantage of using Generics, i.e, everytime we need to cast the object back to subclasss to access subclass' methods or is Generics supposed to work like that.
OR we should not use generics in case where we depend on too many of subclass' methods
OR i am missing something
I am curious about the use of GENERICS in the example not the collections used.

A: It is not about Generics.
Look at APIs. descendingIterator is method of Deque not List
LinkedList implements Deque

My question : In general is the above a disadvantage of using Generics, i.e, everytime we need to cast the object back to subclasss to access subclass' methods or is Generics supposed to work like that.

Your snippet error is nowhere related to generics concepts. Logic based on casting is very very bad and should be replaced with polymorphism by correcting design.

I am curious about the use of GENERICS in the example not the collections used.

Then ask right questions.
Change to following to make it work:
Deque<Employee> empLList = new LinkedList<>();
empLList.add(...)
Iterator<Employee> descItr = empLList.descendingIterator();

A: This has nothing to do with generics.
The List interface is a contract, defining the methods all of its implementations have to provide. Some, like LinkedList, may provide additional methods (such as the afore mentioned descendingIterator()).
Your list of employees is regarded as being any implementation of List, thus all the List methods are available for use, nothing more.
If you know your implementation is LinkedList, you may cast, but this is bad practice. Better keep it as LinkedList then:
LinkedList<Employee> empLList = new LinkedList<>();
empLList.add(...)
Iterator<Employee> descItr = empLList.descendingIterator();

... or (if you accept any List, but want to use the descendingIterator()), create a new LinkedList out of it:
List<Employee> empLList = ... // any implementation
empLList.add(...)
Iterator<Employee> descItr = new LinkedList(empLList).descendingIterator();

A: It is not because of Generics. It is because, descendingIterator() method is not available in List. In this line
  Iterator<Employee> descItr = empLList.descendingIterator();

You are calling the method on a list type referenece variable. As a result you are getting compile error.
When it comes to the below line
  Iterator<Employee> descItr = ((LinkedList) empLList).descendingIterator();

You are casting your empList to LinkedList and method is available in LinkedList as it implements  Deque(Implementation of descendingIterator() is provided in LinkedList)

President Trump 'Wrong' To Call London Embassy Area An 'Off Location,' Residents Say

When President Trump announced Thursday that he was canceling his visit to the United Kingdom next month to open the new U.S. Embassy in London, he sounded less like the leader of the world's most powerful country and more like the real estate developer he once was.
On Twitter, he complained that the Obama administration (it was actually George W. Bush's) had traded an embassy located in one of the British capital's top districts, Mayfair, for a new one in "an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!"
Trump was referring to the London borough of Wandsworth, south of the River Thames, which is now home to a massive development known as Nine Elms. Once a logistical hub for distributing fruit and vegetables, among other things, Nine Elms today is dotted with cranes and includes multimillion-dollar waterfront apartments.
"I thought he got it wrong," said Ravi Govindia, leader of the Wandsworth Council, referring to Trump's implicit criticism of the area.
That may not be the only thing Trump got wrong. The embassy, in fact, cost about $1 billion, according to U.S. government officials.
In an extraordinary statement Friday, the embassy effectively defended itself against the president's criticisms. A spokesman said the new embassy was not financed through taxpayer dollars but through a property swap after the old embassy in Mayfair became too rundown and could no longer provide adequate security.
"The new Embassy in Nine Elms is one of the most secure, hi-tech, and environmentally-friendly embassies the United States has ever built," the statement said. "We are strongly committed in the Special Relationship between our two countries and we are confident the new Embassy will provide the necessary platform to continue our cooperation."
Besides the embassy, the Nine Elms development is anchored by the old Battersea Power station, a red-brick colossus with towering white smokestacks that was famously featured along with a floating pig on the cover of the 1977 Pink Floyd album Animals. After sitting empty for decades, the building — which also served as a shooting location for the 2008 Batman movie, The Dark Knight -- will become home to luxury apartments and Apple's U.K. headquarters.
"As a real estate person ... I think [President Trump] would see that there is always an opportunity in regenerating and redeveloping a site," said Govindia. "It may not look great to start with, but it is what you do with it that makes it great and that's where the opportunities and profit are."
It's not just government boosters who have nice things to say about the area. Residents are optimistic about its future as well.
Saina Behnejad moved into her mother's apartment in Nine Elms last year. The 25-year-old magazine editor says when her mother bought here in the early 2000s, the area was gray and quiet, without tall buildings or many people. Now, she says, Nine Elms — which has two Tube stops coming — feels more vibrant.
Behnejad says people in the neighborhood weren't offended by Trump's comments.
"We just find it very amusing," she said, standing in front of the embassy. "I just think he probably doesn't know anything about London at all. It's constantly evolving and changing."
Not everyone is enamored with Nine Elms. Some find the glass and steel architecture soulless. Since the U.K.'s vote to leave the European Union in 2016, new luxury property in London has seen significant price declines. Last year, Bloomberg reported that sales and falling values in Nine Elms drove some developers to sell units in bulk at a discount.
Jonathan Scobie, a real estate agent who sells property at Embassy Gardens, an apartment complex near the embassy, was excited for Trump's planned visit. He is also a big fan of the president and his blunt style.
"He speaks his mind and I think that's what the world needs," said Scobie, standing next to some decrepit houseboats beneath a luxury apartment block, which illustrates the area's evolving gentrification.
Scobie doesn't agree with Trump's characterization of Nine Elms, but he says the attention generated by his tweet won't hurt.
"It's only going to help us sell our property down here," said Scobie, "which is obviously great."
KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:
President Trump has canceled a planned visit to the United Kingdom to open the new U.S. Embassy there. He says it costs too much. He also says the new embassy is in an off location in contrast to London's prestigious Mayfair district where the old embassy was. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports from the new embassy's neighborhood.
FRANK LANGFITT, BYLINE: John Scobie, a local realtor, is giving me a tour of Nine Elms. That's where the $1 billion U.S. Embassy will open next week. It lies along the south bank of the River Thames, upstream from Big Ben.
JONATHAN SCOBIE: The whole site here was originally designed to be based around the American Embassy. And we have beautiful, beautiful apartments right on the edge of the River Thames starting from anywhere from about 500,000 or 600,000 for a one-bed going up to multiples of millions.
LANGFITT: And there's more.
SCOBIE: You've got the Battersea Power Station development, which is arguably one of the biggest developments in the world at the minute. It's going to - estimated to cost about 8 billion. In 2020, you'll be able to see two new Tube lines opening.
LANGFITT: The old power station, a red brick colossus, sat empty for decades. It's now slated to house Apple's U.K. headquarters and luxury apartments. That's a big leap for Nine Elms, which was once famous as London's wholesale market for fruit and vegetables. Today it's dotted with cranes. Scobie's a big fan of President Trump and his blunt style, but he thinks his assessment of this area is off-base.
SCOBIE: If he gave me the opportunity, I'm sure I'd be able to sell him a couple of penthouses down here. And I'm surprised he hasn't bought his own plot of land down here 'cause all the other developers have done it.
LANGFITT: Residents in the neighborhood took Trump's tweet in stride.
SAINA BEHNEJAD: I don't think anyone here's really that offended. We just find it very amusing.
LANGFITT: Saina Behnejad is a 25-year-old magazine editor and a fan of the new embassy, a glass and steel cube that shimmers in the sunlight.
BEHNEJAD: This building's amazing. I don't know what fault you can find with it. It's just massive. I've never seen an embassy this big before (laughter). So I think he probably doesn't know anything about London at all.
LANGFITT: Not everyone, though, is sold on Nine Elms. U.K.'s decision to leave the European Union has helped drive down luxury real estate prices in London. Last year, Bloomberg reported falling values in Nine Elms drove developers to sell units at a discount. Frank Langfitt, NPR News, London. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
