Podcasts about city blocks

The world's largest cruise ship — the size of almost four city blocks — began its maiden voyage on January 27 as it left from the Port of Miami. Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas runs nearly 1,200 feet (365 meters) from bow to stern. The ship, which left South Florida for its first seven-day island-hopping voyage through the tropics, was officially christened on January 23 with help from soccer legend Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates. “Icon of the Seas is the culmination of more than 50 years of dreaming, innovating, and living our mission — to deliver the world's best vacation experiences responsibly,” Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty said in January. “She is the ultimate multigenerational family vacation, forever changing the status quo in family travel and fulfilling vacation dreams for all ages on board.” The ship set sail as Royal Caribbean's cruises had a moment online. Since December, the company's 9-month “Ultimate World Cruise” captivated — and confused — a following of avid watchers on social media. Millions are following the journey through the eyes of the passengers, as they live and post their lives aboard a vessel they'll be on for nearly a year. If it sounds like a reality show, that's exactly what some watchers have turned it into. The Icon of the Seas is divided into eight neighborhoods across 20 decks. The ship includes six waterslides, seven swimming pools, an ice skating rink, a theater, and more than 40 restaurants, bars, and lounges. The ship can carry up to 7,600 passengers at maximum capacity, along with 2,350 crew members. It is powered by six dual-fuel engines, which can be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), a fuel alternative that the Cruise Lines International Association says reduces sulfur and greenhouse gas emissions. However, some environmentalists worry that LNG-powered ships increase methane emissions. Others say that vacationers generate eight times more carbon on a cruise than they do on land. Royal Caribbean says every kilowatt used on the Icon of the Seas “is scrutinized for energy efficiencies and emission reductions.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

SynopsisThe American composer John Harbison was born in 1938, and so, as a young lad, grew up at the tail end of the Golden Age of radio and the big band Era of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, the Dorsey Brothers, and Benny Goodman.“Over the radio,” writes Harbison, “came sounds played by bands in hotels and ballrooms, now distant memories that seemed to a seventh-grade, small town, late-night listener like the pulse of giant imagined cities.”Decades later, John Harbison translated those early musical memories into a three-movement composition for a big band orchestra. “These sounds,” he recalled, “layered with real experience of some of their places of origin, magnified, distorted, idealized, and destabilized, came into contact with other sounds, some of recent origin, and resulted in a celebratory, menacing suite I titled Three City Blocks.”The U.S. Air Force Band gave the premiere performance of “Three City Blocks” on today's date in 1993. And, keeping in the spirit of the old days when every major hotel could boast its own dance band, Harbison's Three City Blocks premiered at the Hilton Hotel in Fort Smith, Arkansas.Music Played in Today's ProgramJohn Harbison (b. 1938) Three City Blocks New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble; Frank Battisti, conductor.

Fellow Chicago transplant Chris P. Wicks chats to us about walking along Lake Michigan, Kanye West's discography, the deep south, and maximalism. We also spend time discussing urban planning and brainstorming Chicago's future.

Over the past two years, today's guest has acquired 19 city blocks in Jacksonville, Florida's urban center with the goal of creating a thriving, walkable downtown.  Why? Because by helping make Jacksonville a place where people want to live and work, Gregg Cohen and his team at JWB Real Estate Capital hope to raise the median income city-wide. This benefits everyone who lives there, and in turn, helps his investors increase their return on investment. Today we're going to learn more about Gregg's strategy of building neighborhoods, investing in the city he loves, and why he's bucking the trend of buying across multiple markets. We'll also discuss the dynamics that help create a successful downtown, such as the public-private partnership, tax incentives, and avoiding the NIMBY buzzsaw. This is an excellent episode about placemaking and what it takes to create a thriving downtown community.

Terrorist group Antifa has taken over six city blocks in Seattle. No this isn't the plot to a Tom Clancy novel, a Michael Bay film, or the next sequel to 'The Division'. This is reality and our politicians are allowing this to happen. Alexander breaks down the list of their demands and explains how if Antifa isn't arrested and taken down immediately, more of this will follow. On a lighter note to end the show Alexander goes over this week's Lockdown List, and it is all about Bourbon.

Founded in 2019 by real estate entrepreneur Chris Monkman and technology builder James Waterhouse, Neighbourhood exists to create a world where anyone can be at home wherever they are. Chris began his career in real estate with Urban Splash, a design-led regeneration and modular development company. Starting with small projects that transformed forgotten places Chris moved from repurposing individual buildings, to developing city blocks and then whole neighbourhoods, regenerating some of the most challenging areas across the UK, all for which he was awarded Property Weeks Trailblazer of the year. It was only when Chris moved to London was it that he found a bigger problem he had to solve. He found it hard to find flexible and connected homes with like-minded people in the areas he wanted to live. Inspired by the potential of people and places, and with a passion for design, technology and community building, Neighbourhood was born. Neighbourhood designs, develops and operates a network of design led coliving homes for purpose driven people. At just 6 months old, Chris & James have launched the Neighbourhood brand, raised their pre-seed round of venture capital funding, and have partnered with some of the UK's leading property developers. With their prototype Neighbourhood now live in Manchester – they have 28 beds under management, 150 in the pipeline, and a flagship scheme soon to be announced in London. On a mission to become the world's most loved city living brand, these ambitious founders have only just begun. http://weareneighbourhood.city ******** ♥ ---- Thank you for watching this video—Please SHARE IT and leave a comment!

Play;Write is a podcast about creating and sharing new ways to play. We workshop seedlings of ideas for video games in hopes of coming up with something timeless. It's not just about us, though! Join in the conversation! Pitch your own game ideas to be read and explored on air on our website at www.playwritecast.com, tweet us @playwritecast, or email us at playwritecast@gmail.com.In this episode of the podcast, Ryan Hamann (@InsrtCoins) and Ryan Quintal (@ryanquintal) build a city from the ground up, set traps for Mario, and go birdwatching. The community pitch was submitted by PROTODOME.Our theme song is "Hello World." by PROTODOME from the album BLUENOISE.

One man can make a difference but the local government is putting up roadblocks and lining their pockets by keeping the homeless on the street. Elvis Summers, has raised money and awareness to build Tiny Homes for the homeless to give them a place to be

In this movie, you use a free script to animate the "growth" of a building, and watch it get created from the grounds up.

In this movie, you use the Populate tool to add animated pedestrians to your city scene.

In this movie, you turn an empty building lot into a park and then place and animate a camera to get an interesting shot at your newly-built city.

In this movie, you place and randomly rotate nine city grids by 90 degree-increments to create an irregular pattern. In the process, you learn to write a simple script that creates a "Randomize" button to automate the task.

In the third and final installment of this series, you learn to create low-polygon buildings using a variety of methods. This first movie concentrates on creating a texture library, or build upon the one already provided with this tutorial.

Here, you learn to create low-poly building geometry by extruding simple 2D shapes to create building blocks. Later, you will learn to automate the workflow using macro scripts.

In this movie, you turn your buildings into simple editable polys to reduce calculating time. You can create in-project duplicates or you can export and store buildings as external files to use with other projects and other 3D applications.

In this movie, you explore additional Building Maker functionality and learn to create multi-part parapets that are mapped differently. You also learn to copy levels to insert and edit building blocks after you have created the building hierarchy.

In this movie, you continue exploring Building Maker's capabilities by learning how to create buildings that have multiple footprints.

In this movie, you use Building Maker, a tool that helps you automate many of the steps required to create low-polygon buildings, using an intuitive and unified interface.

In this movie, you make use of the macroscripts you created that automate repetitive tasks to complete the first low-poly building you started earlier. You will be able to witness how macroscripts can cut down your production time extensively.

In this movie, you use the Macro Recorder to record and reuse the repetitive tasks you needed to create a floor volume. You then create a new 3ds Max toolbar in which you add a button that invokes your custom scripts.

In this movie, you add urban design components to make the city block look more believable. Some of the components you add include traffic lights, fire hydrants and mailboxes, among others.

In this movie, you turn urban design components into 3ds Max primitive using a free script called Primitive Maker by Garp. This way, you will be able to duplicate and place components in your cityscape in a very flexible and intuitive approach.

In this movie, you finalize the duplication and placement of light poles around the city blocks using two different cloning methods: Array and Spacing Tool.

In this movie, you merge a traffic light assembly that includes a traffic light, a light post and a trash can. You then duplicate and place this assembly around the major intersections using simple Transform tools.

In the last movie, you learned how to turn mesh object into 3ds Max primitives using Primitive Maker by Garp; but the workflow you learned about is session-based. Here, you learn how to make those newly-defined primitives a permanent feature in 3ds Max.

In this movie, you use the Daylight System to light the scene. The Daylight System has been shown in many a tutorial on this channel, so the explanation will be brief. You will however replace the background gradient with a custom bitmap to simulate clouds

In this movie, you finalize the road works by connecting the inner intersections. In so, you will use the same techniques you learned about earlier, using the sweep modifier to create the two-lane roads.

In this movie, you use the sidewalks you created in the last movie to extract surfaces for building lots. You will also treat the building lots so that they have different textures to introduce more variety.

In this movie, you extract spline paths using the existing infrastructure to add sidewalks to the road works. To do so, you use the Sweep modifier to block out the sidewalks. You then work at an editable poly level to fine-tune the results.

In this movie, you create variations for the inner roads. In order to tile the city blocks, you need the perimeter and the center cross roads to remain constant, but you can have variations with the smaller inner roads.

In this movie, you work on road intersections.You start with the cross intersection at the center of the city block, and then you use that intersection as a template to create others.

In this movie, you create the roads that connect the intersections together. You will explore a couple of different approaches and settle on one that yields an easier mapping workflow.

In this movie, you use the cross intersections you created in the last movie to extract T and L junctions. Doing that, you also learn to edit the new intersections and add to the material created earlier to accommodate more street markings.

In this movie, you work on the roads that make up your first city block. You learn how to subdivide the roads to ensure you are using different road markings that include lane dividers and pedestrian crossings.

In this movie, you lay the foundation for the first city block. This includes working with reference images, deciding on the project scale and setting up 3ds Max accordingly.

This tutorial series shows you how to build tileable city blocks that include road works, street elements and low-poly buildings to create cityscapes. The tutorial is divided in three sections: Roads, Urban Design Components and Low-Poly Buildings.

In this movie, you use the geometry you have already created to extract the intersections for the inner roads. You also add materials to the existing material definition and clean up the connections between existing and new roads.

This is another jumbo episode clocking in at 1 hour 45 minutes.   We actually debated splitting this episode and doing one regular episode and a bonus episode just talking about “Man of Steel,”  but ultimately decided to just keep it all together as it would almost be impossible to separate the two, as our thoughts […]
