Burke, P.E., LEED AP BD+C - Director of Sustainable Design, Researcher A Community Plan for a Sustainable Future IV MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL IN PROGRESS City of Virginia Beach V AT A GLANCE A Community Plan for a Sustainable Future (the Plan) is about the place we call Virginia Beach, and how this place - shaped by a rich past of individualism, personal reliability, personal accountability, and limited government – can have an equally rich future. The Plan acknowledges that government – at all levels - exists in large measure to help defend and guarantee individual liberties. Such liberties are well described in our nation’s founding principles and documents. Within the context of community as a whole, individual liber- ties are protected and enhanced by creating and refi ning a sense of community that respects individual liberties while at the same time striving to make progress which helps individuals live rewarding lives. Gov- ernment thereby has a more refi ned role of helping to facilitate and create a sense of community while simultaneously helping defend and guarantee individual liberties. The Plan is focused around the idea that there are very clear actions and attitudes that will determine how our community will look and function in the future - and most importantly - how we can live full, rewarding lives in our community. In short, the Plan suggests that the city - both its government (City) and the larger community - should be guided by principles that promote action and attitudes that will make Virginia Beach a stable, resilient, energetic, and attractive place to live, work, and play on an ongoing basis, well into the future, in a way that is prepared to deal with unforeseen changes. In other words, Virginia Beach can and will be “a community for a lifetime” - and for lifetimes to come. This Plan began with extensive public involvement through public input meetings and stakeholder inter- views. Out of this eff ort, the comments made during those sessions revealed a wide range of interests, concerns, and ideas about the future of Virginia Beach. Our community, like sustainability itself, is broad, diverse, and intricately connected. As a result, this Plan touches on all aspects of sustainability - economic, social, and environmental. A family friendly city A Community Plan for a Sustainable Future 1 The Plan is organized around 10 major areas of com- munity interest referred to as ELEMENTS. Included with each Element is a broad statement that cap- tures the desired outcome or what the city hopes to become, the VISION STATEMENT. The Elements and their associated Vision Statements are summa- rized on the following pages. The Vision Statements are vivid, idealized descriptions of our future and were crafted to ensure that they are in alignment with both citizens’ sentiments as well as the broader vision established by the Envision Virginia Beach 2040 Committee Report (now known as 2040 Vision), completed in 2012. Next, the Plan sets forth a series of broad GOALS within each Element and Vision Statement as a means of defi ning what we, both the City govern- ment and the community, should do to achieve the vision for each Element. Finally, a group of OBJEC- TIVES is identifi ed that help frame the types of actions that should be developed to achieve the cor- responding Goal. In whole, this group of Elements, Vision Statements, Goals, and Objectives forms the framework for the Plan, ultimately providing the roadmap for the City and the community to a sustainable future. A city with a high quality of life “The future ain’t what it used to be.” Yogi Berra City of Virginia Beach 2 Summary of Elements and Vision Statements PEOPLE We are healthy, engaged, and active residents who feel a sense of well-being and harmony with our neighbors, whether they are next door, in Hampton Roads, across the country, or across the sea. Our lifestyle and activities are as diverse as our community, making Virginia Beach a jewel of the East Coast. PLACES We are a model community of great places, both man-made and natural, that are inherently beautiful and are accessible to all; rich in cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities; with ample choices regardless of age, physical limitations, or income; and recognizable with unique character. LEARNING From an early age, our children are taught principles and values embraced by all. Our public schools, vocational colleges, and higher learning institutions utilize the latest technologies ELEMENTS to create a highly skilled, diverse workforce. Life-long learning is inherent in everyday life in a thriving Virginia Beach. WORK Virginia Beach has a strong and vibrant economy with a highly skilled workforce. The city capitalizes on its long-term traditional economic sectors, while fostering innovation and growth in new technologies, to ensure a continually expanding and adapting marketplace. CONNECTIONS Residents and visitors to Virginia Beach are well-connected within our city utilizing quality infrastructure, enjoying the benefi ts of an interconnected multi-modal transportation system, and communicating in person or via technology from anywhere in the city.

  • Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality
    Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia 2008 Karen Peta Hall Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Discipline of English and Cultural Studies School of Social and Cultural Studies ii Abstract Genres are constituted, implicitly and explicitly, through their construction of the past. Genres continually reconstitute themselves, as authors, producers and, most importantly, readers situate texts in relation to one another; each text implies a reader who will locate the text on a spectrum of previously developed generic characteristics. Though science fiction appears to be a genre concerned with the future, I argue that the persistent presence of lost race stories – where the contemporary world and groups of people thought to exist only in the past intersect – in science fiction demonstrates that the past is crucial in the operation of the genre. By tracing the origins and evolution of the lost race story from late nineteenth-century novels through the early twentieth-century American pulp science fiction magazines to novel-length narratives, and narrative series, at the end of the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the consistent presence, and varied uses, of lost race stories in science fiction complicates previous critical narratives of the history and definitions of science fiction. In examining the implicit and explicit aspects of temporality and genre, this thesis works through close readings of exemplar texts as well as historicist, structural and theoretically informed readings. It focuses particularly on women writers, thus extending previous accounts of women’s participation in science fiction and demonstrating that gender inflects constructions of authority, genre and temporality.

It was a 70 degree December day and AWARDS we were able to enjoy delicious Lynnhaven oysters and beautiful views of the river from the deck of the Brock Center while we celebrated our amazing volunteers. What could be better! During 2015, Lynnhaven River NOW completed 156 programs, involving 21,500 participants and logged 3,348 volunteer hours. And these numbers may all be lower than they should be because at times we are too busy to remember to add things to the log. But these accomplishments are only possible because of the amazing people who volunteer their time and talents throughout the year to clean up thousands of pounds of marine debris, to replant wetlands and Million Dollar shorelines, to help us build oyster castle projects, to educate the public Volunteer of the Year at our events and other festivals and meetings in the community, to Sid Vaughn serve on our committees and board, to assist with program preparation Oyster Restoration and administrative work, and a thousand other ways that our volunteers October, 2015 “high water” on the Eastern Branch.

The BepiColombo probe aims to make sense of this mysterious world. by Ben Evans of extremesWWW.ASTRONOMY.COM 3 Mercury is a land of contrasts. The solar system’s smallest planet boasts the largest core relative to its size. Temperatures at noon can soar as high as 800 degrees Fahrenheit (425 degrees Celsius) — hot enough to melt lead — but dip as low as –290 F (–180 C) before dawn. Mercury resides nearest the Sun, and it has the most eccentric orbit. At its closest, the planet lies only 29 mil- lion miles (46 million kilometers) from the Sun — less than one-third Earth’s distance — but swings out as far as 43 million miles (70 million km). Its rapid movement across our sky earned it a reputation among ancient skywatchers as the fleet-footed messenger of the gods: Italian scientist Giuseppe “Bepi” Colombo helped develop a technique for sending a space Hermes to the Greeks and Mercury to the Romans.
