In Sri Lanka rows about China’s influence in domestic politics helped topple a government. Even Commodore Bombugalage is disappointed that China’s focus on infrastructure led to the building, near Hambantota, of a cricket ground and a little-used airport in the home district of a former president, whose election campaign also benefited from China’s largesse. He would like “two or three universities” instead of such white elephants, so Sri Lankans can build a knowledge-based economy: “Otherwise it is not sustainable.”

The offices are finished simply inside with light plaster walls and clay lights, offset by a teal green shelving unit and greenery.

A call for entries for culinary entrepreneurs was held in July and out of dozens of entries, three finalists were chosen: Samuel of Bacchanal Sauce, Tristan Chin-Fatt of Destination Dumplings and Jumoke Jackson of Soul-full Sandwiches. With funding from Citi, the three finalists were given the opportunity to operate their own booth at the Urbanspace Fall pop-up markets.

These challenges, Pringle concludes, are further exacerbated by a lack of interparticipation among the various stakeholders in the steel industry.

Asked if the BRI promotes Chinese governance, the students enthusiastically agree. “It will introduce a new model to the world. And we are ready to accept that,” says Commodore Seneviratne. Five years into its existence, others are warier—because of politics, and because of debt.

They maneuvered the Sunfish around the area, documenting as much as possible, before pulling the bot out. When Matsuzaki declared the mission complete, the control room burst into applause.

A few years ago, as Google started preparing to build two enormous, over-the-top campuses in Silicon Valley—totaling 1.6 million square feet and costing an unspecified sum—the corporation decided to dip its toes in the water with a much smaller, restrained project nearby. The first ground-up building for the search engine company, Google at 1212 Bordeaux in Sunnyvale, California, is not a prototype for either of the forthcoming complexes—a tent-like extravaganza by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Heatherwick Studio, and a terraced facility BIG is designing independently. Instead, the 100,000-square-foot office by Charlottesville, Virginia–based Parabola Architecture is testing various strategies for optimizing fundamentals like daylighting, air quality, and acoustics to help employees focus and be productive in an open-plan space. For the most part, the moves are familiar and time-tested options rather than innovative technologies; it is the overall commitment to improving occupant comfort that sets the building apart. “This is essentially a giant mockup that people can interact with, allowing us to collect data on what is and isn’t working,” says Josh Portner, district development executive at Google.

The earthquake on March 11, 2011, was the biggest ever recorded in Japanese history, a 9.0 monster that devastated northeastern Japan and triggered a series of tsunamis that slammed into the coast, killing nearly 16,000 people. The tsunamis also knocked out power to the Fukushima Daiichi plant, shutting down the pumps needed to keep cooling water circulating in the reactor cores. Over the next several days, as Tepco engineers worked by flashlight to regain control, the fuel in three of the plant’s six reactors—Units 1, 2, and 3—melted down. Gases unleashed by the damage exploded, sending plumes of radioactive particles like iodine, cesium, and plutonium into the atmosphere. The government ordered everyone within a 12-mile radius to evacuate, with about 165,000 people eventually displaced.

Hundreds of cooks have sounded off about this scraper, which enjoys a solid 4.5-star average rating. An owner named Grace says that if you like "clean BBQ grills," this brush "does the trick." A cook called Mike says it has durable "metal bristles" and is an overall "excellent grill brush."

Specialty drinks—like frozen fruit beverages, gourmet tea slushies and icy hot chocolate—are an excellent way for quick-service restaurants (QSRs), gourmet coffee shops and other retailers to increase store traffic and profitability.  But some frozen beverage machines can be inefficient, bulky and labor-intensive.  What's more, not all are easy enough for staff to operate, or attractive enough to feature in front-of-the-house areas.

I worried that it would one day be overrun with tourists and film crews. I imagined turning on the television to see Carrie stumbling down its promenade with a broken heel, weeping over Mr. Big. How, I wondered, could it possibly retain the tranquillity that made walking along its rusting, decrepit deck such a haunting experience? So I was overjoyed this weekend when I climbed the stairs at Gansevoort Street, entered the new city park and felt an immediate sense of calm. Designed by James Corner Field Operations with Diller Scofidio & Renfro, the first phase of the High Line, which opened on Tuesday, is a series of low scruffy gardens, punctuated by a fountain and a few quiet lounge areas, that unfold in a lyrical narrative and seem to float above the noise and congestion below. It is one of the most thoughtful, sensitively designed public spaces built in New York in years.

If you want to try an all-natural lump charcoal, we like Fogo's All Natural Premium Hardwood Lump Charcoal ($32.95 for 17.6 pounds or $55.95 for 35lbs). The large lumps burn hot, slowly, and leave a mellow flavor with low ash. Just leave a little more time as it takes a while to achieve cooking temperature, especially with larger pieces. — Olivia Abel
