One of the most popular commercial bodies offered on the Ford Model A's 103.5-inch (263cm) wheelbase was the type 79-A Panel Delivery. Featuring a fully enclosed rear end offering both ample space and privacy, they became a common site in the city and country alike. As was often the case, Ford contracted the bodywork to a local coachbuilder, in this case Budd. The body would be produced until 1930 when it was replaced by the restyled, Murray built type 79-B Panel Delivery.
This Andalusite Blue and Black Panel Delivery joined the Hartogh Collection in 2014. According to its Modern Dutch Registration, it came into the Netherlands in 1975. Well presented, it is fitted with an auxiliary horn, extra driving light, and a Boyce Motometer on a dogbone radiator cap. While the body dates from 1928/29, the engine is from very early 1930. These practical commercial vans can still continue to serve their intended purpose today—with plenty of space on the side to promote a business and room within to transport goods.
By now in the loving ownership of Routemaster enthusiast David Thrower, between April 1993 and January 1998 RML 2452 was one of the RML fleet which operated with Kentish Bus with the vehicle being painted in the former Kentish Bus maroon & cream livery for use on LT contract route 19. Although externally RML 2452 is preserved in its former Arriva London South red livery as applied to the vehicle between 1998 and the end of Routemaster operation on route 19 on 1st April 2005, the interior of the vehicle has been fully restored back to its original 1960s/1970s condition complete with the tungsten lighting, sung yellow ceilings and with the original style of dark red seat moquette. Visible on the right is the rear of RM 2180.

Turns out today is my last day at sewing class because the government ended its contract with the place I sew so I guess this is the last batch of stuff I sew for a long while without access to a sewing machine lol. I’m a little sad about it but being forced to actually focus on it really did help me be more comfortable with sewing and I’m proud of the level I reached so yeah.
Anyway I sewed a shirt for Paul so he’ll look a bit less naked. I had to add a bit more to my pattern cuz he’s so barrel chested but I’m proud of the result and I should get around to making him a pilot hat. His tie is just a ribbon sewed onto a loop of elastic since my other methods of making ties looked way too bulky.
I then found these scraps of purple shamrock fabric and there was BARELY enough for a shift dress for Skipper sized dolls and just enough scraps for the top of the a line dress. My Yukko chan models the shift dress on her new Pullip clone body while my Silkstone models the A-line dress cuz she moved back to her old body.
I also decided to make two more guy shirts cuz hey, it’s my last day here and I’ll always need more guy shirts.
Finally since this was my last chance at a sewing machine for awhile I decided to pump out a repro of the Friday Nite Dress even if I haven’t worked out the kinks yet. It turned out much better than my other attempt but the pinafore needs to held closed with a hook and eye cuz the pattern didn’t have enough space for snaps, and the skirt length is bit short.
As you can see, I’m trying to make a monochrome version of this dress cuz I have half a mind to make a black and white Midge though Idk if I should get a vintage Midge for this or just customize a LitD midge…

Another cool photo. It was a cloudy day, the light was coming from behind me as it was later in the day. I love this shot.
It might be 2017, but seeing step-entrance double deckers in normal service isn't a fevered dream just yet. Weekends through March sees the Citysightseeing tour route operate a 3-bus roster, and with only 3 low floor buses available currently all it takes is for one to be on the pits or otherwise unavailable and a Leyland Olympian will come out to play. Today we actually had two out - the one seen here is ex-Lothian Alexander RH full open topper G336 CSG which is waiting at Exhibition Square. This one wears a slightly different shade of red to the rest because it was repainted for a contract whereby it was used in a farewell parade to Manchester United former manager Sir Alex Fergusson, upon returning to York the base red colour was retained and sightseeing vinyls were applied over it. Both this bus and 4017 had been due to be withdrawn by December 2016, so it looks like once again this is another classic Transdev change of plan.

STONEHENGE enters into the “CONTRACT of the ARCH"
Gerald Stanley Hawkins (1928 – 2003) was a British-born American astronomer and author noted for his work in the field of ARCHaeoastronomy. A professor and chair of the astronomy department at Boston University in the United States, he published in 1963 an analysis of STONEHENGE in which he was the first to propose that it was an ancient astronomical observatory used to predict movements of the SUN and MOON, and that it was used as a computer. ARCHaeologists and other scholars have since demonstrated such sophisticated, complex planning and construction at other prehistoric earthwork sites, such as Cahokia in the United States.
ARCHdruids were the HIGH Priests presiding over the ancient rituals and ceremonies at STONEHENGE.
Our controllers are not averse to deception, deceit and misdirection.
From the Merriam Webster Dictionary:
Definition of 'walk into'
1 : to become involved in or fooled by (something) because one is not aware of what is really happening.
He walked right into our trap.
"I can't believe you fell for that old joke!" "Yeah, I guess I walked right into that one."
Is this what our controllers are doing with the ARCHways?
ARCHons, ARCHes and Freemasonry
The ARCH is a word and a structure that features prominently over the millennia……
ARCHES are used in building powerful word constructs and social control structures as well as being used extensively in ARCHitecture and civil engineering.
These power structures are always hierARCHical, often with a single entity at the top known as a monARCH.
The MASONIC control structure has certainly adopted this ARCHitecture and even pretends to be borne out of the stone mason fraternities.
ARCHon is a Greek word that means "RULER".
In Athens a system of three concurrent ARCHons evolved - the three office holders being known as the ‘Eponymous ARCHon’, the ‘PolemARCH’, and the ‘ARCHon Basileus’.
Ref Mitchell, John Malcolm (1911). "Archon" . In Chisholm, Hugh (ed.). Encyclopædia Britannica. 2 (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. pp. 444–445.
Throughout history, this ARCHon TRIumvirate have celebrated their governance, conquests and victories with ARCHes of TRIumph…
i) ARCHon Eponymous - Chief Magistrate
ii) PolemARCH - Head of the Armed Forces.
iii) ARCHon Basileus - King or Sovereign Ruler
The PolemARCH title is derived from the words POLEMOS (war) and ARCHon (ruler, leader) and translates as "WARLEADER" or "WARLORD".
The name indicates that the PolemARCH's original function was to command the military.
This is why armies mARCH.
In Gnosticism, ARCHons are the builders of the physical universe. Among the ARCHontics, Ophites, Sethians and in the writings of Nag Hammadi library, the ARCHons are rulers, each related to one of seven planets; they prevent souls from leaving the material realm.
The ARCHers – a long running program through history – not just the BBC….
'SOVEREIGN' - literally means to reign from above.
This is why the MonARCH of a country is referred to as 'Your HIGHNESS'
Then we have
MatriARCHs - a system of society or government ruled by a woman or women
PatriARCHs - a system of society or government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family and descent is reckoned through the male line.
OligARCHs - government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.
In these long-running and ARCHaic societal control structures we also have:
ARCH dukes and ARCH duchesses
ARCH bishops
ARCH deacons
ARCH druids
ARCHangels
ARCHitects
SquireARCHies - landowners collectively, especially when considered as a class having political or social influence
mARCHioness - a noblewoman with the rank of marquess, or the wife of a marquess.
mARCHer lords - A Marcher Lord was a noble appointed by the King of England to guard the border between England and Wales. A Marcher Lord was the English equivalent of a margrave or a marquis before the introduction of the title of "marquess" in Britain
ARCHimandrite - the superior of a large monastery or group of monasteries in the Orthodox Church
ARCHaeology or archeology is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. Archaeology is often considered a branch of socio-cultural anthropology, but archaeologists also draw from biological, geological, and environmental systems through their study of the past
TrierARCH - the title of officers who commanded a trireme in the classical Greek world. In Classical Athens, the title was associated with the trierarchy, one of the public offices or liturgies, which were filled by wealthy citizens for a year
HagiARCHy - government by saints, holy men, or men in holy orders
AutARCHic - having and exercising complete political power and control: absolute, absolutistic, arbitrary, autarchical, autocratic, autocratical, despotic, dictatorial, monocratic, totalitarian, tyrannic, tyrannical, tyrannous
HeptARCHy - a collective name applied to the seven kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England from the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain in the 5th century until the 8th century consolidation into the four kingdoms of Mercia, Northumbria, Wessex and East Anglia.
TetrARCHy - term adopted to describe the system of government of the ancient Roman Empire instituted by Roman Emperor Diocletian in 293, marking the end of the Crisis of the Third Century and the recovery of the Roman Empire
TheARCHy - rule by a god or gods
GynARCHy - rule by women or a woman.
ExARCHate - a Byzantine province governed by an exARCH
AnARCHy - a state of disorder due to lack of social structure
All this history was documented by ARCHivists – with old records being kept on pARCHment
At school we are not taught the true meaning of the ARCHway….
By passing through the ARCHway we may be unaware that we are entering into an agreement or contract where we are to be ruled over.
The ‘CONTRACT of the ARCH’ perhaps……
ARCANUM and ARCANA - mysterious or specialized knowledge, language, or information accessible or possessed only by the initiate.
ARCHES in Modern Culture….
The ARCHERS - a British BBC radio soap opera broadcast since 1951. Having aired over 19,300 episodes, it is the world's longest-running drama.
The ARCHERS is set in the fictional village of AmBRIDGE
The POPE – PONTIFEX MAXIMUS – The GREATEST BRIDGE BUILDER
A pontiff (bridge builder from Latin pontifex) was, in Roman antiquity, a member of the most illustrious of the colleges of priests of the Roman religion, the College of Pontiffs.

ARCHimedes (c. 287 – c. 212 BC)
Considered to be the greatest mathematician of ancient history, and one of the greatest of all time.
The Fields Medal for outstanding achievement in mathematics carries a portrait of ARCHimedes, along with a carving illustrating his proof on the sphere and the cylinder.
The inscription around the head of ARCHimedes is a quote attributed to him which reads in Latin: Transire suum pectus mundoque potiri.
'RISE ABOVE ONESELF AND GRASP THE WORLD’.
ARCHimedes, Freemasonry and the Moderns Grand Lodge Constitutions
Frontispiece to the 1723 Edition:
The 1723 edition is well-known for its elaborate frontispiece engraved by John Pine in 1723. It features a classical arcade of John Montagu, the Second Duke of Montagu (Knight of the Garter #532), and the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England (1721-1723), passing the scroll of the "Constitutions" to his 1723 successor, Philip Warton, First Duke of Wharton. Both are attended by their officers. Apollo, god of the sun, charges above in his chariot, symbolizing the meridian height. Behind the gathering is a passageway framed by walls of water - evocative of the parting of the Red Sea.
The 47th proposition of Euclid, the traditional symbol of a past masters of a Masonic lodge, appears in the foreground. Below it, in Greek, is ARCHhimedes' famous exclamation: “Eureka!” (“I have found it!”)
eureka (English) - εύρηκα (Greek)

Romanian postcard by Casa Filmului Acin, no. 16. Photo: publicity still for Cuando tú no estás//When you are not here (Mario Camus, 1966).
Raphael (1943) is one of the most important singers in the Spanish language of the second half of the 20th century. Twice, he represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest. He opened the door and paved the way to the flood of Spanish singers that followed on the wake of his enormous success. Raphael is also a television, film and theater actor, who appeared in a popular series of Spanish film musicals during the late 1960s.
Raphael was born Miguel Rafael Martos Sánchez in Linares, Spain, in 1943. He is nicknamed both ‘El Ruiseñor de Linares’ (The Nightingale of Linares) and ‘El Divo de Linares’ (The Divo from Linares) but is also known as ‘El Niño’. His family moved to Madrid when he was nine months old, and he started singing when he was just three years-old. He joined a children's choir at age four. When he was 9, he was recognized as the best child voice in Europe at a contest in Salzburg, Austria. Raphael began his professional career by signing with the Dutch record label Philips. To distinguish himself, he adopted the ‘ph’ of the company's name and christened himself 'Raphael'. His first singles were Te voy a contar mi vida and A pesar de todo’. Raphael adopted his own peculiar singing style from the beginning; he is known for acting each one of his songs while on stage, emphasizing his gestures with high dramatic effect. It is not unusual for Raphael to ad lib lyrics as to localize a song depending on the venue he's singing at, wear Latin American peasant costumes and dance folk dances within a song, kicking and demolishing a mirror, or doing the moves of a flamenco dancer or a bullfighter onstage. He also possesses a wide vocal range, which he often used in the beginning of his career as to evoke a choirboy approach to some songs. When he was nineteen, he won first, second and third awards at the Benidorm International Song Festival, Spain, 1962. He signed contract with Hispavox recording company, and began a long artistic relationship with the musical director of this label, the orchestrator Waldo de los Ríos and intensify the partnership with songwriter Manuel Alejandro. In 1966 and 1967 he represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest, singing Yo soy aquél and Hablemos del amor and placing both 7th and 6th position. This served as a turning point in Raphael's career, making him an international star. He traveled and performed worldwide in Europe, Latin America, the United States, Russia and Japan.
Raphael also had a lucrative film career. He made his film debut as a singer in Las gemelas/The Twins (Antonio del Amo, 1963). As an actor he had his breakthrough in the musical Cuando tú no estás/When you are not here (Mario Camus, 1966). In the film's first half Raphael plays himself, trying to find fame and fortune as a popular singer in Spain until he teams up with an up and coming Spanish composer (based on Raphael's real life composer Manuel Alejandro) and becomes a popular singer. Alan Bobet at IMDb: “This is the first and best in my opinion of the Spanish musical films starring Spanish singing sensation, Raphael in his first starring role and the first of 3 Raphael film musicals directed by Mario Camus, who would be one of Spain's top film directors in the 1970's.” The other two were Al ponerse el Sol/At Sunset (Mario Camus, 1967) and Digan lo que digan/Let Them Talk (Mario Camus, 1968), which was filmed in Argentina. Other popular films were El golfo/The Gulf (Vicente Escrivá, 1969), with Shirley Jones, El ángel/The Angel (Vicente Escrivá, 1969) with Anna Gaël, Sin Un Adiós/Without a goodbye (Vicente Escrivá, 1970), with Lesley-Anne Down and partially filmed in England, and Volveré a nacer/I will be born (Javier Aguirre, 1972) with Héctor Suárez. In 1975, Raphael began his own successful program on Spanish Television called El Mundo de Raphael (The World of Raphael), where he sang with international stars. He also had a radio program, where he and his wife spoke with and interviewed outstanding personalities, and he starred in soap operas, starting with the Mexican production Donde termina el camino (1978). Raphael succeeded in the early 1980s with songs such as ¿Qué tal te va sin mí? and Como yo te amo. During 1984 and 1985 he recorded two albums with songs written by José Luis Perales. In 1987 he left Hispavox and signed a contract with Columbia (now Sony Music). In 1991 he had a hit with Escándalo in Spain, Latin America, and in Japan, where it reached number one. At the end of the 1990s, after ending a contract with PolyGram, he went back to EMI. In 1998 the artist published the first part of his memoirs titled ¿Y mañana qué?, from his childhood until his marriage in 1972. In 2000, Raphael took the title role in the Spanish version of the stage musical Jekyll & Hyde, with great success. Recently, he returned to the screen in the dark comedy Mi gran noche/My Great Night (Álex de la Iglesia, 2015). Since 1972, Raphael is married to aristocrat, journalist and writer Natalia Figueroa. They have three children: Jacobo, Alejandra and Manuel.

German film actor Ludwig Trautmann (1885-1957) was the first German film star. Between 1912 and 1955, he appeared in 69 films, and also wrote, produced, and directed several films. In the Nazi period, he was prosecuted because of 'homosexual acts'.
Ludwig Trautmann was born in Dachsbach, Germany, in 1885. He learned for salesman but in 1901 he made his stage debut. He later worked for theatres in Bochum, Konstanz und Hermannstadt. A cinema owner in Baden-Baden introduced him to film. In 1912 he signed a contract with the Bioskop-Filmgesellschaft (Bioskop Film Studio). It was the first film contract ever signed in Germany. Trautmann appeared in such short silent films as Madeleine (Emil Albes, 1912) and Die schwarze Natter/The Black Adder (Franz Hofer, 1913). He soon became known as detective Brown in short silent films directed by Harry Piel, starting with Der Triumph des Todes/The Triumph of Death (Harry Piel, 1912) and Schatten der Nacht/Shadows of the Night (Harry Piel, 1913). In Austria he played a priest in Der Pfarrer von Kirchfeld/The Priest from Kirchfeld (Jacob Fleck, Luise Fleck, 1914) starring Max Neufeld. He appeared opposite Henny Porten in Gretchen Wendland (Curt A. Stark, 1914), Das Ende vom Liede/The End of the Song (Rudolf Biebrach, 1915) and Die Ehe der Luise Rohrbach/The Marriage of Luise Rohrbach (Rudolf Biebrach, 1917), also with Emil Jannings. In 1916 he appeared opposite the other superstar of the silent German cinema, Asta Nielsen in Dora Brandes (Magnus Stifter, 1916) and Das Liebes-ABC/The ABC of Love (Magnus Stifter, 1916). Ludwig Trautmann had become a very successful film actor. He was the darling of the women and at the height of his career, he bought a castle with 22 rooms for the in those days the outrageous sum of DM 480.000.--. He was in a position to found his own film company, and during World War I, he directed, produced, and wrote several films. Among these films are Das Geheimnis der Villa Dox/The Secret of Villa Dox (Ludwig Trautmann, 1916) and Filmelend: Das Glashausmädchen/Film Misery – The Glass House Girl (Ludwig Trautmann, 1919).
Ludwig Trautmann worked in the early 1920s with director Siegfried Dessauer on such films as Frauen…/Women… (Siegfried Dessauer, 1920) and Die goldene Mauer/The Golden Wall (Siegfried Dessauer, 1921) with Mabel May-Yong. He had a small part in the epic Marie Antoinette - Das Leben einer Königin/Marie Antoinette, the Life of a Queen (Rudolf Meinert, 1922) starring Italian diva Diana Karenne and filmed on location in Paris, but the film offers became scarce. Between 1925 and 1932, Trautmann did not appear in the cinema, but then he reappeared in supporting roles in films like Die elf Schill'schen Offiziere/The eleven Officers of Major Von Schill (Rudolf Meinert, 1932) with Hertha Thiele, and Trenck - Der Roman einer großen Liebe (Ernst Neubach, Heinz Paul, 1932) starring Hans Stüwe. He also appeared in the Ufa production Ein Mann will nach Deutschland/A Man Wants to Get to Germany (Paul Wegener, 1934) with Karl Ludwig Diehl and had a bit part in Ein idealer Gatte/An Ideal Husband (Herbert Selpin, 1935) based on the famous play by Oscar Wilde. Between July and October 1935, Trautmann was imprisoned for homosexual acts. (Homosexual acts between males were a crime at the time in Germany and many other countries. Trautmann was imprisoned because of paragraph 175, a notorious provision of the German Criminal Code dating from 1871. The Nazis broadened the law in 1935; in the prosecutions that followed, thousands died in concentration camps. Between 1871 and 1994 around 140,000 men were convicted under the law).
After he was released from prison, Ludwig Trautmann was banned from the Reichstheaterkammer and the Reichsfilmkammer, so it was impossible for him to work as an actor in Nazi-Germany anymore. He left for France, but in 1939 he returned to Germany. In 1940 he was again imprisoned for six months because of his homosexuality. After the war, Ludwig Trautmann worked for the Volksbühne Berlin. He produced the documentary Eine Fröhliche Fahrt in die Vergangenheit/A cheerful trip in the past (1949). In 1951 he was a member of the jury at the 1st Berlin International Film Festival. He also played a few more film roles. He had bit parts in the comedies Postlagernd Turteltaube/Poste Restante Turtledove (Gerhard T. Buchholz, 1952), and in Briefträger Müller/Mailman Mueller (Hohn Reinhardt, 1953) starring Heinz Rühmann. His last film was the DEFA production Robert Mayer - der Arzt aus Heilbronn/Robert Mayer, the Doctor from Heilbronn (Helmut Spiess, 1955). In 1957 and after a long illness, Ludwig Trautmann died in a Berlin hospital. He was 71.

The first of the latest batch of StreetDecks transferred to Hoeford has entered service.
First used, on College contract PC2 and University route U1, today was, I believe, its debut on regular public routes
THE CLIMATE CHANGE SCAM.
The facts:
CO2 is a trace gas, it makes up only 0.04% of the atmosphere.
Expressed as a fraction, that is: four hundredths of one percent!
Only 3% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere is due to human activity
That is: three percent of four hundredths of one percent of CO2 in the atmosphere is likely to be caused by humans!
97% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere is from from natural sources
The UK only produced slightly over 1.% (1.02%) of the world's 3% total of CO2 caused by human activity!
That is: the UK produced around one hundredth
of the three percent total CO2 caused by humans!
The UK’s CO2 emissions have fallen by around 42% since 1990
CO2 is highly beneficial and crucial for life and plant growth.
An increase of CO2 would improve plant growth and reforestation.
The UK produces slightly over one hundredth of the human caused total of 3 percent (three hundredths) of the total four hundredths of one percent of CO2 in the atmosphere.
If you think that is a tiny, insignificant amount, you are perfectly correct.
All life is based on carbon, it is an essential food for plants. Plants obtain carbon from CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).
They separate the carbon from the oxygen which they release into the atmosphere.
The oxygen they release is also essential for life.
The idea that CO2 is a poison, or something undesirable, is preposterous nonsense. it is not based on good science, but politics, ideology and vested interests.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small compared to other gases, such as nitrogen, but it is essential.
The amount that humans contribute to the total CO2 is negligible. The vastly overwhelming amount - 97% is produced naturally. The idea that the other 3 percent, caused by humans, will destroy the planet is ridiculous.
Records going back centuries show that natural temperature rises are followed a rise in CO2, not the other way round. As the sea gets warmer it releases more CO2, a purely natural process. The most likely cause of the increase in temperature is activity on the Sun. The records show that it is an increase in temperature that causes an increase in CO2. This is not necessarily bad. A generally warmer climate caused by the Sun, with the resulting increase in CO2 is ideal for plant growth and a greener planet.
So, is CO2 a cause of global warming or climate change? Extremely unlikely!
You may ask; what about the scientific consensus, the claim that 97% of scientists agree that CO2 is a cause of climate change?
a) If something is repeated often enough, many people end up believing it. That’s how propaganda works.
b) Most scientists are not climate scientists, they work in other fields. They tend to respect the findings/opinions of other scientists, because they trust the scientific integrity of their peers, above any vested interests.
c) A consensus in science is not proof of anything. Scientific truth is not a democratic decision, it is not decided by a consensus, however large. That is a political concept, not a scientific one.
In science, empirical evidence is king.
The idea that a consensus opinion makes something beyond doubt, or unable to be challenged is an anathema to genuine scientific endeavour.
Science doesn’t work like that.
To impose a straightjacket on science is a fanatical position, which has the hallmark of ideological fanaticism. It is anti-science and a deplorable situation.
The common, political currency seems to be that anyone who dares to challenge the present, climate change opinion is a science denier, a term of abuse which is intended to imply they are wilfully ignorant, evil or even criminal.
That is an appalling situation. And very damaging for freedom of expression and the future of science. Scientific practice is a search for truth, not an ideology, or a political football. No genuine scientist, who has any integrity, can ever support such a situation. Any scientist who claims that manmade climate change is an irrefutable fact, or that issue is settled and the debate is over, is a disgrace to science.
There is no such thing as a ‘climate change denier’. It is a meaningless insult, invented by fanatical ideologues. All honest scientists would agree that any scientific opinion or hypothesis is only as good as the latest bit of evidence.
Inconvenient facts, the science that Al Gore doesn't want you to know:

Patrick Moore (one of the founders of Greenpeace) A dearth of carbon?
Dr. Moore says we were literally running out of carbon before we started to pump it back into the atmosphere, “CO2 has been declining to where it is getting close to the end of plant life, and in another 1.8 million years, life would begin to die on planet Earth for lack of CO2.”
According to Moore it is life itself that has been consuming carbon and storing it in carbonaceous rocks. He goes on to say, “billions of tons of carbonaceous rock represent carbon dioxide pulled out of the atmosphere, and because the Earth has cooled over the millennia, nature is no longer putting CO2 into the atmosphere to offset this.”

Who trusts the MSM?
Their lies are not just fake news, they deliberately set out to slander those who don’t agree with the liberal left, globalist elite. Their lies are positively evil. Everyone should watch this video and they will never trust the media again: banned.video/watch?id=5f00ca7c672706002f4026a9
New NASA satellite data prove carbon dioxide is GREENING the Earth and restoring forests.

The latest Vegetation Index data from NASA shows that the Earth is getting progressively "greener" and lusher over time. The planet is 10 percent greener today than it was in 2000, NASA says, which means better conditions for growing crops. Forests are also expanding while deserts are becoming more fertile and usable for agriculture. All in all, the global Vegetation Index rose from 0.0936 to 0.1029 between 2000 and 2021, a 9.94 percent increase. "10 percent greening in 20 years! We are incredibly fortunate!" announced Zoe Phin, a researcher who compiled the data into a chart for her blog. "I just wish everyone felt that way. But you know not everyone does. To the extent that humans enhance global greening is precisely what social parasites want to tax and regulate. No good deed goes unpunished." A separate German study found that the globe has been greening for at least the past three decades. Satellite imagery suggests that vegetation has been expanding at a growing rate, contracting the gloom-and-doom narrative being spread by the climate alarmists.

In the small hours of 5/1/25, some final commercial operations came in the form of First being sub-contracted to operate what had been Stagecoach’s night buses, which included the infamous route 192. A scene likely to never be repeated, 69624 is seen on stand at Piccadilly before departing for Hazel Grove - the 192 was predominantly operated with Evoras and Eclipse 2s through the night. Stagecoach however still operate the route, now with brand new Enviro 400 City vehicles.

May 2017 A new Toronto Concert Hall.
History:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonic_Temple_(Toronto).
Construction began November 2, 1916 when the contract was signed and approved by the Board of The Masonic Temple Company for the tearing down of an existing church and excavation. The Masonic ceremony of laying the cornerstone occurring November 17, 1917 and the first Lodge meeting taking place on New Year's Day, 1918.[2] At its peak, the Masonic Temple was home to 38 different Masonic bodies: 27 Craft Lodges, six Chapters (York Rite), two Preceptories (Knights Templar), two Scottish Rite Bodies and Adoniram Council.[2]
The hall functioned as a ballroom in the 1930s and began to host rock acts in the late 1960s.[3]
In the years before its sale to CTV, the building housed live music clubs known as The Concert Hall, and earlier, in the late 1960s, The Rock Pile, a sitting-on-the-floor style concert venue that featured not only showcases for top local talent but also appearances by major international recording stars, including Toronto's first Led Zeppelin concert on February 2, 1969, during the band's inaugural North American Tour.
Although the location remained historically significant and was added to the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory in 1974, the building has changed hands a number of times. In 1997, it was threatened with demolition: a developer had planned a new highrise residential building marketed to Asians, solely to exploit its "lucky" address of 888 Yonge Street, [4] It was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in the same year.[4]
Also in the 1990s, the studio was the home of Open Mike with Mike Bullard, and was one of CTV Toronto's news bureaus. Also, notably, it has been rented as a rehearsal space by the Rolling Stones. From March 2006, the building became the broadcast home of the new MTV Canada and has hosted the Polaris Music Prize since 2009.
The building's fate was once again placed under a cloud on November 2, 2012, when Bell Media announced the moving of MTV Canada studio production to 299 Queen Street West and that the building would be sold, possibly for condominiums.[4] Bell Media officially listed the property for sale on March 4, 2013.[5] On June 17, 2013, the building was purchased by the Info-Tech Research Group for $12.5 million.[6][1] Info-Tech announced that its plans for the building include staging an annual charity rock concert in the auditorium.[7]
In 2017, it was announced that the concert hall was to permanently reopen as a public year-round music venue beginning in June for the Toronto Jazz Festival.[3][6]

Toronto’s architectural gems—the Masonic Temple at Davenport and Yonge from Now Magazine
24
FE
The Masonic Temple, at 888 Yonge Street, was constructed in 1917, during the chaotic days of the First World War. Today, the building is appreciated by those interested in the city’s architectural heritage, but judging by comments posted on the internet, it is viewed by some as an ugly structure of brick and limestone that is not worth preserving. Despite one’s view of the building, it has a rich heritage, and I believe that it is worthy of being saved from demolition. To aid in its preservation, in 1974 the Masonic Temple was designated a Heritage Property.
Designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival Style by architect W. J. Sparling, the six-storey structure contains an auditorium that has hardwood flooring and a decorated ceiling. It seats 1200 persons, including the wrap-around gallery. The Masonic Society (Freemasons) included the ballroom/concert hall in their new building as a means to raise revenue from rentals to support the costs of maintaining the premises.
John Ross Robertson (1841-1918) was a prominent Mason, and founder of the now defunct Toronto Telegram newspaper. He was one of the prime motivators behind the construction of the building, located on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Davenport Road. When the Masons chose this site, a church was located on the property. It was estimated that the cost of the Temple would be $175,000, but by the time it was completed, the cost was $220,864. After the church on the site was demolished, construction began. The final stone for the new Temple was put in place on 17 November 1917 and the structure was consecrated with corn, oil, and wine. The first lodge meeting was held on 1 January 1918. On the upper floors, which were reserved solely for the use of the Masons, there were patterned tiled flooring and many Masonic carvings.
During the 1930s, the Masonic Temple was one of the most popular ballrooms in Toronto. Every New Year’s Eve, tickets disappeared long in advance of the date. Bing Crosby once crooned within its walls, and Frank Sinatra hosted an event there. Throughout the years, many famous entertainers have performed in the hall—Tina Turner, The Ramones, David Bowie, and Led Zeppelin, who held their first Toronto concert there in 1969. In 1970, it was leased by a company known as the “Rockpile.” During the 1980s, it was rented by various groups, but the income never exceeded the costs of maintaining the building. In 1998, the property was sold to CTV, for use as a TV studio. The show, “Open Mike with Mike Bullard” was broadcast from the premises. In 2006, it became home to Bell Media (MTV), but they departed in 2012.
During the 1950s, I was in the Masonic Temple on several occasions to attend events. The view from the gallery, looking down onto the stage area was quite impressive. I remember the ornate plaster trim around the auditorium and the ornate carvings that decorated the space. As a teenager, I considered any event held within the walls of the Temple to be a special occasion, especially since the restaurants on Yonge Street were within walking distance. In that decade, the “Pickin’ Chicken,” south of College Street, Fran’s at Yonge and College, and Basil’s Restaurant at Yonge and Gerrard, were the gastronomic highlights of the “the strip.” Walking south from Davenport and Yonge to below College Street was less of a problem for me in those years, especially when my teenage hunger could be satiated by “chicken in a wicker basket with fries” at the PIckin’ Chicken, a toasted club sandwich at Basil’s, or rice pudding at Fran’s. Julia Child, eat your heart out!
Yonge Street has greatly changed today, although I am not certain that the culinary level of the avenue has improved much. However, the Masonic Temple remains, proudly resisting the onslaught of the modern era. I sincerely hope that a modern role will be found for the building, and that it will not be demolished. It would be a pity to have its ornate facade become a mere shell to add dignity to another faceless high rise condominium of glass and steel, lacking any value beyond the price of the suites per square foot.
