Resident questions value of land purchased for sports complex to local populace
During the comment period at the Tuesday, Mar. 28, Greenbrier County Commission meeting, Sue King, a White Sulphur Springs resident, offered an opinion on a recent land acquisition made by the commission for a sports complex. King's questions were relevant to how much, or little say the citizens of the county have in how the bed tax funds are used.
"It is common knowledge that this commission is 'sitting on' $2 million of arts and recreation money," King said. She asked whether the commission has considered costs for maintenance, utilities, such as water lines, insurance and staffing, and availability of hotel and restaurant accommodations for visitors using the complex.
As far as the park serving as a recreation resource for locals, she pointed out that the property, "off of winding Harper Road," is inconvenient to county residents, both east and west. King anticipated that the athletic complex will "obligate the bed tax money for the foreseeable future," and she urged discontinuing the plan.
The purchase in question encompasses 100 acres and includes a gift of 40 acres donated by the Roger Boone Family Trust. The price tag was $300,000 drawn from the county's arts and recreation fund. The land adjoins the Greenbrier River Trail and is situated four miles north of I-64.
A feasibility study concluded that the property is workable for the proposed uses, and a survey has been done on the property. This "big idea" to create fields where soccer, softball and baseball tournaments can be held, as stated by Commissioner Mike McClung, has been a dream of the commission for many years. Moving forward, McClung said, the plans for the park will be developed in phases.
King's opening remarks focused on the loss of Memorial Park in White Sulphur Springs. Contaminated and condemned as one of the disasterous outcomes of last year's floods, and according to FEMA, will cost $260,000 to repair it. Without Memorial Park, the hometown kids have to "practice piecemeal in backyards and travel to Covington for games." The "massive athletic complex" may bring money into the county coffers, but its location makes it less likely to serve locals, King said.
The bed tax funds held by the commission cannot be used to repair Memorial Park. They are collected to encourage tourists to come to Greenbrier County, and, likewise, the property purchased for a recreation park north of Lewisburg is intended for that purpose.
King's remarks were timed to address a posted agenda item to approve the transfer of the real property from the Roger Boone Family Trust to the county. That item was approved unanimously without discussion.
In other business:
The commission approved the budget for fiscal year 2017/2018, at $11,551,581,which, as Commissioner Lowell Rose said, is less than last year's budget levy by $236,000. "There is no room to spare," said Rose. "Any event will cause a budget revision." Greenbrier County is fortunate to not have to undergo massive cuts, as other counties in the state have had to do, he said. "Personal property took a hit, in spite of new construction, and if the jail bill had not been reduced, we would have had to cut employees."
Before the vote, McClung said there was one item in the budget which has been "a thorn in my side for a long time." He was referring to the cost of maintaining the Greenbrier County Animal Shelter run by the Greenbrier Humane Society, "which stands at over a quarter of a million dollars." The budget was approved at a 2/1 vote, with McClung opposing.
Day Report Center Executive Director Laura Legg received approval to apply for a Justice and Community Service grant for $80,000, an annual resource fund used to run the center's operations.
A resolution to acclaim April as Fair Housing Month prohibiting discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, (and as amended) handicap and family status was read by Commission President Woody Hanna. Fair Housing Month evolved out of the 1968 Civil Rights Act, with the enactment of the federal Fair Housing Act on Apr. 11, 1968. When the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on Apr. 4 of that year, President Lyndon Johnson utilized this national tragedy to urge for the bill's speedy Congressional approval. President Johnson viewed the Act as a fitting memorial to King's life work.
A motion was approved to allocate $450,000 funds from the county's arts and recreation account to the Arts and Recreation Committee to apply the funds to the 2017-2018 grant cycle.
Supervision of home confinement was approved for transfer from the commission's oversight to the Sheriff's office. Rose said management and paperwork will be smoother under Sheriff Bruce Sloan's oversight. Use of home confinement to offset jail bills will also prove to be a savings to the county, Rose said, and the transfer will keep the county in compliance with state code as well.

This three hour stream is not completely wordless: several of the best albums of 2017 featured singers. But we wanted to present a continuous stream featuring all of the recordings that made our top 25 list for 2017. And then, we had a little extra time, so we decided to add a few tracks from some more of our favorites that almost made the list. It's a three-hour, uninterrupted, stream of the best music from the past year.

Gunung Mulu National Park is famous for its limestone karst formations. Features include enormous caves, vast cave networks, rock pinnacles, cliffs and gorges.
Gunung Mulu National Park has the largest known natural chamber or room - Sarawak Chamber, found in Gua Nasib Bagus. It is 2,300 feet (700 m) long, 1,300 feet (396 m) wide and at least 230 feet (70 m) high. It has been said that the chamber is so big that it could accommodate about 40 Boeing 747s, without overlapping their wings. The nearby Deer Cave was, for many years, considered the largest single cave passage in the world.

Let's talk southern California food trucks. When I worked construction, don't laugh, we used to call them roach coaches with love of course. BUt these kitchens on wheels have taken off and moved beyond basic sandwiches and burritos. Lobster, Italian dishes, and even vegan organic meals are coming off of these trucks. They have come a long way baby.

Main classes of OpenPNM
=======================

This module contains the main classes from which all other major objects
(Network, Geometry, Physics, Phase, and Algorithm) derive.

The Base class
--------------

The ``Base`` class is a ``dict`` that has added methods for indexing the pores
and throats, applying labels, and managing the stored data. All OpenPNM
object inherit from ``Base`` so possess these methods.

----

``Base`` objects, Networks, Phase, Algorithms, are assigned to all locations
in the domain.  The ``Subdomain`` class is a direct descendent of ``Base``
which has the added ability to be assigned to a subset of the domain.  Objects
that inherit from ``Subdomain`` are Geomery and Physics.

Boss objects refer to the Full Domain object it is associated with.  For
Geomery objects this is the Network, and for Physics objects this is the
Phase that was specified during instantiation.

The associations between an object and it's boss are tracked using labels in
the boss.  So a Geometry object named ``geom1`` will put labels 'pore.geom1'
and 'throat.geom1' into the Network dictionary, with ``True`` values indicating
where ``geom1`` applies.

The ModelsMixin class
---------------------

`Mixins <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixin>`_ are a useful feature of Python
that allow a few methods to be added to a class that needs them. In OpenPNM,
the ability to store and run 'pore-scale' models is not needed by some objects
(Network, Algorithms), but is essential to Geometry, Physics, and Phase
objects.

In addition to these methods, the ``ModelsMixin`` also adds a ``models``
attribute to each object.  This is a dictionary that stores the pore-scale
models and their associated parameters.  When ``regenerate_models`` is called
the function and all the given parameters are retrieved from this dictionary
and run.

Our First Donation was From Nine Year-Old Alexandra b Her Birthday Gift to the Zoo
TORONTO, March 3, 2014
Friends of High Park Zoo announces the launch of our Honey Family Foundation Matching initiative for 2014. Since operating funding for the Zoo was restored on January 30, 2014, we are now in a position to turn our attention to capital projects to enhance and sustain the Zoo. This initiative is critical since no capital funding has been allocated to the Zoo in the City budget; help us ensure High Park Zoo is around for another 120 years.
Following two years of successful Honey Family Foundation Matching initiatives (that have raised in excess of $200,000 to support High Park Zoo), the Honey Family Foundation has agreed to increase the size of the matching program for its final year by 20% to $60,000 in 2014. If we can raise $60,000 by the end of June 2014, the Honey Family Foundation will match our funds for a total of $120,000. This coincides the Zoo legacy of 120 years. Proceeds from this initiative will help to enhance the Zoo and will be directed exclusively toward our Llama Pen Project b to improve High Park Zoo llama pen (Honey home).
Our first donation toward our $60,000 goal was received yesterday at our AGM, where Alexandra presented a donation of $280 to Friends of High Park Zoo. This donation was raised in lieu of gifts for her recent 9th birthday. bWe would like to thank Alexandra and her friends for their kind and generous donation to High Park Zoo,bnotes John Formosa, Chair of Friends of High Park Zoo. bIt is this kind of generosity and altruism that not only makes a caring community, but makes a great city. Please help us to build on Alexandra gift by donating to our Honey Family Match Initiative for 2014.bFriends of High Park Zoo looks forward to an exciting year in 2014 as, after saving and supporting the Zoo over the past two years, we now embark on our third chapter: enhancing and sustaining the Zoo.
In order to be eligible for the Honey Family Foundation Matching initiative, a donation must be made through Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation (TPTF) online, onsite or by mail.

Friends of High Park Zoo Welcomes Restored Operating Funding For High Park Zoo
January 31, 2014	General, Press Releases
Friends of High Park Zoo Welcomes The Reinstatement of Operating Funds in 2014 Budget
Our Role As a Vital Link Between the City and Its Residents Remains Ongoing
Capital Fundraising to Be Included in 2014 to Improve and Enhance High Park Zoo
Our Vision and Mission Remain Unchanged, We Look Forward to an Exciting 2014 at the Zoo
TORONTO, January 31, 2014
Friends of High Park Zoo notes that yesterday Toronto City Council approved their final 2014 budget that included the reinstatement of the $228,000 of annual operating costs for High Park Zoo. While this reinstatement is welcome as it corrects the 2012 decision to cut the funding for High Park Zoo (forcing Friends of High Park Zoo into action to keep the Zoo open by raising $342,000 of operating costs that were paid to the City over two years), Friends of High Park Zoo continues to see its role as a vital, ongoing connection between the City and its residents.
Thank you to our visitors, volunteers and all of our stakeholders for helping to raise awareness and support for High Park Zoo over the past two years,says John Formosa, Chair of Friends of High Park Zoo. With over one million visitors passing through the gates since the beginning of 2012, Toronto residents have shown that the 120 year-old High Park Zoo is a valuable resource that should be supported by their tax base.
Now with restored Zoo operating funding, Friends of High Park Zoo, in addition to running its llama pen and other family activities throughout the year, will be looking to include capital project fundraising in 2014 in order to improve and enhance the Zoo. Some examples of needed investment for the Zoo include making it more accessible to the public, improving the animal paddocks and creating more educational components for our visitors.
Even with the return of sustainable operating funding to the Zoo, Friends of High Park Zoo Vision remains unchanged: To ensure there is always a free community zoo in High Park for families to enjoy. Our Vision continues to be supported by our Mission: To enhance High Park Zoo for the benefit of all visitors by leading activities that engage the community, while promoting education, awareness and fundraising for the Zoo.
We look forward to an exciting 2014 at High Park Zoo as we embark on our next chapter. Remember to Donate, Volunteer and Visit. This allows us to enhance your High Park Zoo.

Deep Dive: Evolving the UX/UI of A Total War Saga: Troy using user testing & feedback
November 23, 2020 November 23, 2020 supa-games
The Gamasutra Deep Dives are an ongoing series with the goal of shedding light on specific design, art, or technical features within a video game, in order to show how seemingly simple, fundamental design decisions aren't really that simple at all.
Earlier installments cover topics such as building an adaptive tech tree in Dawn of Man, achieving seamless branching in Watch Dogs 2's Invasion of Privacy missions, creating the intricate level design of Dishonored 2's Clockwork Mansion, and the tech behind Gears Tactics.
In this edition, Alex Tomakchiev, Lead UI/UX Game Designer at Creative Assembly Sofia, shares how user testing and player feedback helped inform the UI/UX driven design of A Total War Saga: Troy's 'End Turn' button.
The Beginning (Iteration #1)
Let's start by looking at one of the most important UI elements in turn-based games – the End Turn button. For a long time during development, our End Turn button looked and behaved very much like it does in Total War: Warhammer II. It used an hourglass icon and if you had pending actions it would show you a different icon for every action.
When you clicked on the button, it would select a game object or open a panel to prompt you to act on the corresponding action before ending your turn.
This was a good quality-of-life feature that helped remind players of all the actions they hadn't yet completed, but it also had a downside. We would only display the End Turn button after you had resolved or skipped all of your pending notifications, which in mid-to-late game meant that you might have to go through 20+ clicks before even seeing the End Turn button.
However, we didn't give this much thought since we had gotten used to this behavior ever since WH2. Our core players had also seemingly gotten used to it, but then we started doing user tests and quickly ran into unexpected problems.
One of our tests was with a group of gamers who had never played a Total War game before and had little to no experience with turn-based strategy games. Now, I know what you'll say. "Why would you test people who've never played Total War when you have people who've been playing it for 20 years?" Don't worry, we asked them, too. But Troy was initially released for free on the Epic platform which meant that we'd have a huge influx of players who were completely new to the franchise. We needed data on what the player experience would be for those people.
Spoiler alert – it wasn't great.
So, we prepared a build, organized the test, invited people and started observing them as they played. At this point we were feeling pretty confident with the game, but then people started playing and reality hit us in the face.
One person has spent 40(!) minutes on their first turn because they couldn't figure out how to end their turn.
Another asked "What do I do now?" after they've done most of what could be done on turn one.
A third recognized the importance of the End Turn button, but because they had pending actions, they were seeing an icon to issue a Royal Decree. Once they did that, they completely ignored the button for the rest of the playthrough because they thought it was a button for decrees, not for ending a turn.
Obviously, this was not the first time user experience we were hoping for. New players had a hard time ending their turn. In a turn-based game.
So, we started scratching our heads and it turned out we were facing a few key issues that all contributed to people not ending their first turn.
The Road to Release (Iteration #2)
Issue 1: It turned out that showing a bunch of notifications and having players go through them before they can end their turn was rather confusing. Regular Total War players were used to it, but new ones? Nope.
Solution 1: We explored two solutions aimed at detaching notifications from the End Turn button so we could have it visible at all times.
The first was simply to make a separate button for notifications and move it next to the End Turn button. It looked a bit like this:
Solution 2: The second solution was to move all notifications to a new menu and treat it as a "to-do" list. Ultimately, we went with this because we felt it would be more valuable for players to see them all at once instead of clicking through them one-by-one. It also allowed us to expand the text strings and be more specific. If previously we had "Hero not moved" as a notification, now we'd also show the hero's name, so players could quickly scan and decide which ones they wanted to move and which ones they didn't.
However, this change also meant we no longer had anything to stop players from ending their turn IF they had pending notifications. Sure, there was a list of them, but there was no guarantee they'd open the list in the first place, we just assumed they would.
We implemented the change, even adding some animations and states to the new Notification button, thinking that would be enough to catch players' attention.
Issue 2: Remember how I said that initially our End Turn icon was an hourglass?
Now ask yourself: if you see this ⌛ on a button, what would you assume that button's function is? One of our QAs raised that question shortly before release and my jaw dropped.
I organized a quick survey to ask people exactly that. 100% of the answers were "loading", "waiting", "buffering", "in progress", "speed up time", "slow time"… You get the point. It was right in front of our eyes, but we couldn't see it because we were so used to it.
One of my explanations was that as gamers, we somehow collectively agreed that the hourglass would represent the end of a turn when Heroes 3 used it back in 1999 and we just kind of rolled with it. But for someone who hasn't played Heroes or another turn-based game it could be very confusing.
Solution: We changed the icon to a right-pointing arrow like the one used in every media player ever to show the action of "Next". We were so used to how things were that someone had to actually ask "Why?" to make us even think about it. This is what we ended up using:
Release And Beyond (Iteration #3)
Then came the release. TROY was claimed by over 7.5m people and we were ecstatic for them to finally play it! They did and they started sharing feedback. Players no longer had a problem ending their turns, but now it was so easy to do it that we started seeing them ending a turn just to then say "Oh, wait! I forgot to move my army!".
Naturally, regular TW players noticed this and said "Why did you remove my end turn notifications? It helped me when I was playing and now I forget to do things constantly!". And they were right! We made a mistake by removing a useful feature just to fix another issue.
The problem was that the notifications were still in the game, BUT, players just weren't opening the list to see them. And why would they? We didn't make any effort to draw their attention to the list.
Once again, we went back to the drawing board and it turned out the solution was quite simple.
All we had to do was to look back at the original implementation and take what was good about it (in this case, the contextual button before the End Turn button). Only this time, we'd show it just once, with an exclamation mark icon and upon clicking it would open the notifications list. Done.
This allowed us to resolve both issues at the same time – not obfuscating the End Turn button behind 20 other ones, while still retaining the "hey, don't forget these things you can still do" functionality. We also implemented a little improvement to the layout of the Notifications list – we introduced notifications groups.
Because of the time it took to ship these final iterations, (three months had passed since release) we knew that some players would've gotten used to how things now worked and it wouldn't have been right for us to force this new iteration on them. So we added it as an option
And this is where we are now. It's a good place. Or so we think for now.
Hopefully this story shows you how one UI element can take so many iterations to get right, as well as share some of the lessons we learned along the way (or at least reinforced our knowledge of) such as:
User testing will show you things you haven't even considered
Never assume
Look for solutions that work for all types of players
While getting your design right first time should always be the objective; iteration is a necessity to make improvements and to truly achieve a good design solution!
If you can, give players a choice, don't lock them into your judgement of what's right
And we are done! I'll see you next time.

EDITOR: In regard to Carla Jupiter's letter in the Dec. 24 issue: She asked why more local people are not responding to articles in letters. I will offer some possible reasons.
We have lived in Mendocino area for 54 years and early on loved getting the Beacon because there were stories of people we knew in it. We liked reading about our friends and neighbors: where they were going on a trip, who had a baby, whose mother is visiting, where our graduates are going to college, who is getting married, who got a new puppy, who got a new job, who bought a local business, how businesses were faring etc.
Many stories were written by columnists, local people living here… volunteers mostly. Names of some columnists were the notorious Jacques Helfer, Liz Irwin (mother of the famous actor/clown, Bill Irwin), and a woman from Little River, whose name I cannot remember, who would call and ask if we had any news which often times we did.

Letters to the Editor: Karabensh


This June, the architects Rogers Stirk Harbour were unceremoniously sacked from a job designing a multi-billion pound housing project on the site of the former Chelsea Barracks. The reasons were not fully explained, and there may have been more than one, but the most obvious was that Prince Charles had written privately to the site's owners, the Qatari Royal Family, urging them to reject the Rogers design.
That Prince Charles acted shamefully should not be in doubt. He showed arrogance and contempt for others, and abused the prestige of his inherited position. Having intervened decisively in a public arena, he then refused all offers to debate or discuss his action. He showed little understanding of the issues in which he intervened. He was devious and disingenuous.
Yet his actions were greeted with whoops of joy from some of the general public, and from the Daily Mail, as well as from less predictable sources. Writers like Tom Stoppard and Andrew Roberts, who might in their own line of business oppose interference with creative freedom, declared themselves fans of Prince Charles. Why, at this moment, did libertarians start speaking up for censorship and democrats for royal privilege? Prince Charles has always been an avid scribbler of pained notes. Why did one of his letters suddenly have such an effect?
The answer is that he touched a nerve. He signalled, like a clumsy canary, that something is wrong with the way London is planned. He could not articulate a diagnosis or cure. But, if any good is to come of his intervention, it should be a change in how the destiny of important sites is decided.
The proposal for Chelsea Barracks was a product of the London Plan, the document produced under Ken Livingstone as mayor. One of Livingstone's main advisers was Lord Rogers of Riverside, the founder and leader of Rogers Stirk Harbour. Planning authorities, such as Westminster, have to make their decisions within the framework of the London Plan.
The Plan put into practice the principles that Rogers had been urging at least since A New London, the book he wrote in 1992 with Mark Fisher. The aim was for what Rogers called "the compact city," and the key principles were high density, good quality public space and transport, and good design. High density, it was argued, creates "vibrancy"—a critical mass of people who animate the city, enjoy each other's company, and sustain public transport, shops and other businesses. Good public space and design ensures that density does not just become overcrowding, or the statistical stacking up of units.
There was evidence for Rogers's thesis: popular cities such as Barcelona and Paris combine high densities with well-made public space. The London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is the most densely populated local authority in Britain, and one of the most desirable. Crucially, though, key elements of Rogers's vision were left out of the Plan. Chief among these was public investment. The mayor, the Greater London Authority and the London boroughs did not have the resources to create the beautiful public spaces and enhanced transport the compact city required. Nor was there an infrastructure of skilled, knowledgeable planners—for which Rogers had also called—to direct the making of a well-ordered city.
Meanwhile, Livingstone enlisted the London Plan in pursuit of what was perhaps his biggest idea. The theory was that London was above all a financial services centre, and that everything should therefore be done to maximise its success and profit in this field. Some of the vast wealth created could then be diverted to social goals, such as the creation of affordable housing. It was, in the seemingly endless boom years, an appealing idea.
Density thus became a licence for developers to maximise their profits from expensive housing and office blocks. Towers were vigorously encouraged. At the same time developers were asked to contribute affordable housing and "public space"—usually highly monitored aprons of granite at the foot of their blocks—in return for their favourable consents. The private sector was being asked to provide the public benefits government was incapable of achieving.
Developers were handed the roles of urbanists and planners. It was up to them to propose what might make a desirable piece of city; planning authorities might then seek to modify these proposals. Naturally, developers' view of desirability is coloured by their own interests. Like any good negotiator, they start high, going into discussions with schemes stacked up with profit-making space. The planning of large pieces of London became a series of punts and haggles: a matter of developers trying it on, to see what they could get away with.
In this environment, the nature of "good design" became a slippery one. Most planners and architects agree that good design includes an element of foresight and overview. If a building is too big for its site, that is a flaw in its design. And yet there was minimal provision in the Plan for establishing what "too big" might be. "Good design" came to apply disproportionately to the external styling of buildings, and was determined by panels of experts who tended themselves to be architects, or close to architects, leading to an unhealthy atmosphere of mutual back-scratching.
One of the main beneficiaries of all this was Rogers himself, whose practice designed a number of high-density, high-quality towers and blocks made possible by the Plan's policies. These projects include One Hyde Park (right), for the developers Candy & Candy—two brothers who were creatures of the boom. As if named by a novelist of genius, they offered instant gratification to the sweet tooth of their now-ended era. Smooth, plausible, young and dynamic, they rose rapidly, helped by the miracle of Icelandic finance—from doing up flats in Earl's Court to One Hyde Park itself, a huge development in Knightsbridge complete with penthouse flats. At a price of £100m, these flats were to be the most expensive in history.
Candy & Candy were also involved in Chelsea Barracks, working in partnership with Qatari Diar, the property arm of Qatar's rulers, under the heading of Project Blue. Project Blue bought the site from the ministry of defence in April 2007 for £959m. Even at the top of the boom the price was high: the underbidder is believed to have offered less than £500m.
The site came with a planning brief drawn up by the City of Westminster, which went into a high level of detail about the benefits the developers should give to the community—affordable housing, a swimming pool and sports centre, open space, a community centre. It also gave guidance on the approaches that might be acceptable in relation to historic buildings. In keeping with the London Plan, it encouraged high density—but, as usual, it did not specify at what point density might be excessive.
As usual, then, Project Blue tried to squeeze as much as they could out of the site, and hired architects—Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners—who would tick the box marked "good design." The planners objected to the scale of their first proposal, and a compromise was reached. The bulk was reduced, albeit leaving a project which to most eyes looked as if it would overload the site. Among those unconvinced were many local residents, who worried about overshadowing, traffic impact and the sheer overwhelming appearance of the blocks. Organised and vociferous, they commissioned a counter proposal to the Rogers scheme from the classicist Quinlan Terry, and started the process that got the Prince involved and Rogers ousted.
The Barracks proposals were a typical product of the London Plan. The principle of density was blurred with commercial interest. Public benefits were to be scooped off high property values. The developer was in the driving seat, with the role of the public sector largely reactive. Good design was interpreted as "hiring a famous architect" and was used, at least in part, to sugar the pill. As it happens, there was much to like about the Rogers scheme: it opened up a previously closed-off piece of land, creating new routes through it and new public space. The arrangement of the blocks allowed frequent views of greenery. It was almost outstanding. But Rogers Stirk Harbour, or any other architect, would do a better job with a scheme less loaded with development.
Crucially, the wind changed. Between Project Blue's acquisition of the site and Prince Charles's intervention, the expansionist culture of the boom years lost its authority. Boris replaced Ken. The concrete frame of One Hyde Park rose, looking overscaled, scaring many that Chelsea Barracks would look the same.
There is some tragedy here. The good principles for which Rogers had long fought became compromised. There is a great danger, on the Barracks site, that the good parts of the Rogers scheme will now be lost. More generally, there is the risk that the Prince's reappearance in architecture and planning will lead only to a change of style and coterie: from modern to classical, and from the Lord's friends to the Prince's friends, without any change in fundamental issues. Big clumsy developments will still be built, but in different dress.
Yet there are steps that could be taken. It should not, in principle, be impossible for planning authorities to define more precisely the acceptable level of development on sites like Chelsea Barracks before they are sold. They could also study the ways that volumes might be arranged on the site. There could be reasoned discussion of the balance of benefits, such as swimming pools and open space, with any disadvantages of the development needed to pay for them.
In this way urbanism would not become part of a developer's gamble, and the job of architects would be to make the development as good as possible, rather than making it as palatable as possible. The question of style, modern, classical or whatever, would then be treated separately from planning principles—as it should.
The very fact that Prince Charles's ideas met with such popular support might suggest that the man is on to something: silly at times, perhaps, but he looks an awful lot less silly today than he did twenty years ago, when sustainable and sensitive agriculture and development were joke ideas compared to the bold schemes of superstar architects. His intervention may have been performed in a misguided way, but the Prince increasingly looks more in tune with popular feeling - and what people want from their public spaces and private developments - than the rubber stamp of "good architecture" that you rightly criticise.

Nico Wind's performances and presentations include all age groups and types of audiences. She has stories to share of her life's experiences on and off the reservation. She feels honored to be called a song carrier. She continues to learn the songs of her relatives. Sources of songs come from the reservation, dreams, memories, friends of a number of different tribes, old tapes of family members and other elders. Nico has a beautiful memory about when she was living on the reservation when some of the other kids were giving her a hard time about being a 'breed' (half breed) and she cried to her grandmother about how the insults were hurting her. Her grandmother asked, "Which half is Indian and which half is not?" Nico replied that she was all mixed up together. Her grandmother said, "You're not a "breed", then, you're all mixed up!" Nico laughed. The grandma then got really serious and said, "You are a horizon child. Part of you lives in the great grandfather sky and part of you lives where the sky touches the earth. And because of that, my girl, you will never be any one thing that is not beautiful." The grandma embraced her for a long moment with her wonderful, unconditional love. Nico will never forget her words.
Nico always tries to honor the spirituality of her culture with her music. She believes in giving something back to the universe for the blessings and wisdom she has received as a human being. As an artist, song carrier, and animal advocate, Nico feels that our existence depends on what beauty we share and leave behind when our time here has come full circle.

Beginning in the 50's, he spent the 60's and 70's in the San Francisco Bay Area where he performed in coffee houses, clubs and concerts, and ultimately as part of the free rock festivals in the Golden Gate Park where he had the honor of performing with bands like the Grateful Dead, Santana, Jefferson Starship and the Youngblood's.
Tony also has deep roots in indigenous life. His given name is Cante Wambli, which means "Eagle Heart" in Lakota, and he was raised by his native nation, the Tarasco people of Mexico.
His Contemporary Native American Music draws from all genres of music celebrating life, family and his spiritual connection to indigenous ways of being with respect to nature. These are his primary sources of inspiration. He is always striving to grow, learn and share the findings of his truth through conversation, music and storytelling; as storytelling is part of native culture that weaves the fabric of his – and all of our – existence.
Tony's philosophy is simple: Life is sacred, a blessing and Creators sacred gift. He writes about nature, justice, love, respect, unity and faith. Tony seeks an abundant blanket of gifts to share with family, friends and all people – in gratitude, rather than fame or excessive financial fortune. His deepest desire is to share this experience of love and understanding as he walks on this Sacred path.

Rar the Cat has an array of N integers. Initially, the ith integer has the value Ai.
Rar the Cat wants you to answer queries and updates, there will be a total of M queries and updates, in order.
For each query, Rar the Cat will provide you with two integers x and y where 0 ≤ x ≤ y < N. You are to respond with the sum of the integers from A[x] to A[y] inclusive.
For each update, Rar the Cat will provide you with three integers, a, b and c. This means you have to add c to every integer from A[a] to A[b].
For all testcases, -(103) ≤ Ai, c ≤ 103, 0 ≤ x ≤ y < N, 0 ≤ a ≤ b < N.
Subtask 1 (57%): 1 ≤ N ≤ 100000, 0 ≤ M ≤ 200000. For all update commands, a = b.
Subtask 2 (43%): 1 ≤ N ≤ 100000, 0 ≤ M ≤ 200000. No further restrictions.
Subtask 3 (0%): Sample Testcases.
The second line of input will contain N integers, representing the array A.
The next line will contain a single integer, M.
M lines will follow. The first character of each line will be T.
If T is 0, then it represents a query. 2 integers will then follow, x and y.
If T is 1, then it represents a update. 3 integers will then follow, a, b followed by c.
For each line of query, you are to output the sum of A[x] to A[y] inclusive, on a single line.

One of the newest trends on the online block is the rise of fashion-portrait-photo-blogs. With Bill Cunningham's On the Street leading way, (from his post at the NY Times--see upcoming documentary HERE) to Scott Schuman's The Sartorialist (featured on Blogger)--who accidental became famous for taking pictures on the streets of New York, (and who's now popping up on magazines and even on your mini-cab-TV, being interviewed for his serendipitous success)--these days, for some reason or another, people are extremely fascinated by photo loggers, who take snapshots of interesting fashionistas galloping the streets.
Perhaps it's simply part of the daunting signs that some of us have become lazy, indulgent and complacent--after all, most of us are creatures of superficial tendencies and some of us may even consider reading as an arduous task (you know who you are!). Why challenge the intellect and open one's mind, when one could just happily look at pictures, get highly amused via visual stimulation sans any questions in one's head. Hey sometimes, after a very trying day, that's all one has mental room for--so let's not judge.
Be that as it may, certain influencers in the fashion industry would rather disagree: Most designers are always critically hunting for inspiration, searching for the right catalyst to be the talk of couture town--seeking to build story boards powerful enough to create a collection that will hopefully generate millions.
And what a better and more fascinating place to look than on the streets; after all, they're free--hence, a multitude of blogs are dedicated to them. Plus, and this is the ultimate plus for a photo-street-blogger: if you're in the right place at the right time, you just might find the radical dresser who's not afraid to stand out--the type of fashionista who's fully registered to compete in who gets to define the next fashion trend, (at least for the moment).
And if this is the case, then hey, that's not a bad job at all: influencing the minds of some of the greatest fashion artists of all time, while taking a leading role in the cycle of style creation. Think about it: People on the streets inspire street photographers--who then inspire the fashion authorities--who inevitably design for those who end up wearing said designs on the streets to begin with.
The drawbacks? Well, we imagine that having to take pictures of random strangers on the street might incur a high probability of awkward moments. More importantly, what do you do when the weather doesn't cooperate? And lastly, not only does one already have to be somewhat of a recognized trendsetter/decent photographer, but one would then have a to build a large enough audience, before you can really make a profitable site.


One of the pieces I get asked Where did you get that? with growing frequency is this cape. And you won't believe what a deal it was!
I love it and wear it all the time. It's so comfy and makes you feel chic and pulled together, even when you're wearing pajamas. I'm all about effortless pieces that elevate. And unlike with a coat, you can still wear a bulky sweater underneath and not feel like the Michelin Man. Um, and also eat as much as you want. My #1 criteria for fashion, truth be told!
The bad news first: It was sent to me last year by the kind people at Warehouse, a UK label I love, but is no longer available. Which is a shame because it was a total score for under $90. But don't cry for fashion, Argentina!
The good news: I found a nearly identical cape — and at just as good of a price. Hoorah! Caper solved.
This cape is only $88 and is just as cute. I love the toggles — it feels so British. But it will sell out fast so if you've been looking to go to Cape Town, scoop it up stat!
