Arriva took up the contract for route 67 from Saturday 27th April 2013. The following Monday DW425, a VDL DB300/Wright Gemini 2, prepares to depart from the Aldgate terminus at Minories Bus Station. Although crewed by Stamford Hill drivers the buses are based at Tottenham (AR) garage and have been cascaded from route 29 which is receiving brand-new hybrid buses.
Minories Bus Station was built in the 1930s to accommodate the chanegover from trams to trolleybuses. The City of London Corporation was opposed to trams and would not permit them to enter the City, so the tracks stopped short right on the boundary, where the trams could reverse as they were double-ended. Trolleybuses however need a minimum 30-foot turning circle, so The Corporation agreed that London Transport could construct a bus station over the junction of the Circle and District Lines just south of Aldgate Station, and a few yards inside the City boundary. It was named 'Minories' after the former medieval nunnery which stood on the site. The station also became the terminus of Green Line coach services from Essex, which were physically separate from the rest of the network which was centred mostly on Victoria.
In trolleybus days a continual stream of trolleybuses turned here from the east and headed back out along the Commercial and Whitechapel Roads. From 1959 these started to be withdrawn in favour of motorbuses and the last trolleybuses from here departed on route 653 on 31st January 1961. That wasn't quite the end of the story as the 67's predecessor, the 647 trolleybus, still operated in the area until 18th July that year; ironically it did not use the bus station but carried on down Leman Street to the London Docks. The 67 only moved here in 1979 when it was cut back from Wapping.
Minories is still a well-used facility; as well as being the regular terminus for routes 40, 67, 115 and 254 buses from other routes can also be seen parked up here whilst their drivers take their statutory breaks. It is also a useful turning point and parking facility when bus services in central London are disrupted.

The Kahala Hotel & Resort
5000 Kahala Avenue
Honolulu, Hawaii
In 1959 real estate developer Charlie Pietsch Jr obtained a long term land lease on the 6 1/2 acre hotel site from Bishop Estate. Being a member of Bishop's Trust Executive Committee helped! With Waialae lease in hand, Pietsch puts together a 50/50 deal with his acquaintance Conrad Hilton. Pietsch signed a contract with Hilton International to operate the proposed 10 story hotel.
Pietsch suggested the name The Kahala Hilton because Waialae was too hard to pronounce and spell. Architects were Killingsworth, Brady, and Smith of Long Beach. The groundbreaking of the 368-room Kahala was in 1962 and the resort opened in 1964 with a $26 rate. The construction of the hotel resulted in Waialae Country Club to redesign several of its golf course holes. The resort used the post-and-beam construction on a grand scale that became one of Killingsworth’s hallmarks. More than 100 coconut palms were planted. 18,000 yards of fine sand were barged from Molokai island to pad the beach front. The resort cost $12 million to build. Killingsworth and his firm also designed the Halekulani Hotel, the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Kapalua Bay Hotel.
In 1968 Charles Pietsch sold his half of The Kahala to TWA, the owner of Hilton International, for $16.5 million.
1973 - TWA/Hilton International sells its shares in the hotel to mortgage holder Massachusetts Mutual life, but retains
management contract. Massachusetts Mutual Life sells its shares to MEPC, one of the largest property development
companies in the world at a price of over $20 million. In 1977 William Weinberg initiates a plan to buy the hotel for a price between $26 and $28 million. The contract takes two years to negotiate before closing the deal in May 1977. William Weinberg (WKH Corp.) owned the Kahala Hilton hotel from 1977 to 1993, this investment was most near and dear to his heart.
In 1993, WKH Corp. sold the 6.5 acre resort to an investment group then headed by isle developer Bill Mills after an arbitration panel raised the resort's annual lease rent from $96,000 a year to $5.6 million a year. Bishop Estate had proposed an annual rent of $13.5 million while WKH offered to pay $1.3 million a year. Japan-based Kahala Royal Corp. (Katsumi Iida) and local developer Bill Mills paid an estimated $50 million.
In 1996 the hotel was renamed Kahala Mandarin Oriental after a 40 percent investment by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The Mandarin Oriental Group took over management, lasting until 2005
In 2005 Kahala Royal Corp., the Hawai'i firm owned by Katsumi Iida, paid $97 million to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group for its 40 percent stake in the hotel on land leased from the Kamehameha Schools. Trinity Investments of Honolulu bought the hotel for $175 million in 2006 and rebranded it "The Kahala." Trinity is owned by California hotelier Chuck Sweeney and attorney Jon Miho of Honolulu.
In August 2014 - The Kahala Hotel & Resort was sold to Japanese-based Resorttrust Inc. for $300 million, which equates to $887,000 per room, the highest per-room price ever paid for an Oahu hotel property. Resorttrust will use the hotel as part of its time-share network. The new owner plans to retain Landmark Hotels Inc., the Trinity affiliate that took over management of the hotel in March 2006. All employees are expected to be retained by Resorttrust, which will assume the collective bargaining agreement between the hotel and UNITE HERE! Local 5.

The contract to erect this bridge was fought for and lost by John Monash, the loss producing a number of angry letters from Monash on what he regarded as the inferior and costly construction opted for by the two shires concerned, rather than his moderately priced and `absolutely permanent' reinforced concrete model{ Melbourne University Archives Monier collection #589}. He cited the success of his design (Doggett's Bridge, demolished) for the Romsey Shire which had withstood the disastrous 1906 floods. A minor controversy arose when the Romsey Shire's consulting engineer, Herbert Crowther BA MCE, called for tenders to erect two large road bridges, one at Daly's crossing and another at Donovan's crossing, in October 1906. New prices were required when Crowther extended the length of each bridge but the decision on whose price was chosen was left to a conference between the Romsey and Springfield Shires in November 1906. Some councillors favoured timber, although its supply in the area had been somewhat reduced, but most favoured steel or concrete. Choosing between the Reinforced Concrete & Monier Pipe Construction Co. P/L concrete bridges and the Ballarat firm, Jenkins Brothers steel versions, the councillors ignored the 400 pounds price difference in favour of concrete and went for steel. Monash wrote letters to C Catani at the Public Works Department, the secretary to the minister and the newspaper, noting that the chosen design was `flimsy' and `unsafe' but to no avail. The bridge was portrayed in early postcards{ R&LDHS postcard}.
After missing the first two days of Texans training camp before agreeing to a five-year, $14 million contract Saturday, outside linebacker Brian Cushing is eager to get on the practice field today with his new teammates.
Cushing, the first-round draft choice from Southern California, is getting $10.435 million in guaranteed money to become the starter on the strong side and help improve a defense that ranked 22nd last season, including 23rd against the run.
“I’m just relieved and excited to have this done,” Cushing said. “I’m ready to play football and help the team win.”
Cushing (6-3, 262) was in Los Angeles when agent Tom Condon reached the agreement with general manager Rick Smith and director of football administration Chris Olsen.
Cushing’s contract could be worth a maximum of $18 million over five years.
In the fifth year of his deal, there’s a clause that could earn him an additional $4 million in an escalator bonus.
Odds are that Cushing’s contract will be extended before he enters the fifth season in 2013.
Smith and Olsen will have all eight of their draft choices under contract when the Texans take the field for the third day of two-a-day drills at their Methodist Training Center.
“It’s very important to have him signed,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “Rick and Chris were up at 3 in the morning trying to get it done. They’ve done a good job.
“Brian’s two days behind now, but he didn’t miss anything we did in the offseason program, so that’s a good thing. He wanted to be here while we were working on the contract, but he couldn’t.”
Rookies who have signed with the Texans report a week early for conditioning and meetings before practicing for the first time with the veterans. Cushing wanted to report with the rookies.
He was working out at Reliant Stadium last week when the Texans had to explain league rules that forced him to leave.
Cushing took what turned out to be a quick trip back to Los Angeles. He returned to Houston on Saturday afternoon.
Texans coaches are excited to get him on the practice field.
“We’re going to put the pads on (Sunday morning), and I know he’s chomping at the bit to get out there,” Kubiak said.
After the Texans used the 15th pick in the first round on Cushing, they inserted him into the starting lineup. He impressed his coaches in the organized team activities and minicamp.
“We like his presence on the ball,” Kubiak said, meaning Cushing has a knack for finding the ball and making plays. “He’s playing over the tight end, and we’re going to ask him to do a great deal. We think he can handle it.
“Brian’s very athletic. He’s physical against the run. He can rush the passer. He can drop into coverage. We brought him here for a reason, and we’re going to put him to work real fast.”
Frank Bush, who is in his first season as defensive coordinator, has to make calls that maximize Cushing’s strengths. The faster Cushing learns, the quicker Bush plans to utilize all his talent.
“We’re going to try to take advantage of all his talent,” Bush said. “Because he’s such a talented kid, there are a lot of things we can do with him.”
The coaches say they think Cushing has everything it takes to become a star at his position.
“Brian can turn and run with the tight end,” Bush said. “He’s big and strong enough to strike them at the line of scrimmage and nullify some of their speed down the field, so we’re comfortable with him in coverage.
“His ability also gives us a chance to be aggressive toward the quarterback. He’s a big guy who’s shown he can get there.”

I seem to have started a week late, but that's OK. I read the introduction and BASIC TOOLS which is really important. The two tools are the daily morning writings, and the weekly artist's date.
The first is writing 3 pages first thing in te morning (probably after a trip to the toilet for me, but before walking the dogs). That's it - you just write 3 pages, every morning. No restrictions, but don't read it again for a while. Doesn't have to be greate prose or infact make sense at all. But write it every morning.The second is to do something just for my inner child at least once a week, like a film, or trip to an art gallery or some such. But nothing that I "ought" to do, but what I want to do!
And this photo is a contract the author wanted me to sign (my scanner's not working so I took a photo instead). I have.
This is what happens when you've had a bit too much to drink, and your friends tell you to sign something.
Rich and I signed a contract written by Jevaun saying that we would marry each other if neither of us was married by the age of 35. That's 5 years away.
Danielle, Thaniya, Linc, Jevaun all signed as witnesses.

HZ Bussar now has the contract to provide Tórshavn’s bus services under the name Bussleiðin. On 2 January 2023, a fleet of 15 new Iveco Crossway LE City 10.8 metre buses entered service, replacing most of the old Sor buses. They don’t carry fleet numbers, but they are registered in sequence as HZ 1-15. They all have 33 seats and have space for many standing passengers plus wheelchairs, children’s prams and buggies. At the moment they are running all the town services, but in April 2 Heuliez GX137 electric buses will arrive, to operate route 4. That will allow two of the Crossways to operate on routes 5 and 6. HZ12-15 are fitted with seat belts, which are obligatory outside the Tórshavn boundary, so they are obviously meant to work on those routes. Route 1 currently requires 4 buses, routes 2 and 3 each require 3, route 4 needs 2. 5 and 6 each need 1 bus all day and 1 extra at peak hours.HZ 14 is one of the buses with seat belts, obviously one of those meant to operate the Kollafjørður, Kaldbak and Kirkjubøur routes. Until the 2 electric buses for route 4 arrive, HZ 530 has been kept to run those out-of-town routes.
In 1915 the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, created a Landships Committee to tackle the problems of trench warfare. After many experiments and false starts an agricultural firm, William Foster & Co. of Lincoln, was contracted to build a prototype machine based on some imported American tracks. When these failed the British designers came up with a new pattern which worked and these were fitted to the Foster's Landship which was now known as Little Willie - said to be an uncomplimentary nickname for the German Crown Prince.
The completed vehicle was running by the end of 1915 but by then a new design was under construction; known variously as Big Willie, His Majesty's Land Ship Centipede or Mother it was the prototype for all British heavy tanks in the First World War. Thus Little Willie was redundant, almost as soon as it was built, but it was used for driver training for a while, before being removed to Lincoln, then Dollis Hill and then to Bovington as part of the original Tank Museum collection.
Little Willie was powered by a Daimler six-cylinder petrol engine but all of the internal fittings were removed many years ago. Allthat remains is the combined worm differential and gearbox although they are not in the correct place. At one time it also had a turret but this was taken off although the turret ring can still be seen. Since it never entered service many of the statistics are little more than conjectural, things such as fuel capacity and armour thickness, particularly since the fuel tank is missing and plate from which the vehicle is built is not actually armoured. As contemporary photographs show the vehicle originally had a wheeled tail as a counterbalance and steering aid. All that remains, in its present state, is part of the hydraulic lifting mechanism and the pulleys.
Little Willie took part in two demonstrations, on 29th January and 8th February 1916 at Hatfield Park, Hertfordshire. Both served to prove that only the new machine Mother, was able to match War Office requirements.
Little Willie is covered in the following titles:
