We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

1,000+ people protested against the Government's controversial proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill at Devonshire Green in Sheffield.
The proposed Bill includes proposals that would give police and the Home Secretary increased powers to stop protests on grounds of “serious annoyance or inconvenience” which if you’re a government minister could mean all of them.
It’s a serious erosion of civil liberties and democratic rights.

This proposal would have fulfilled two ambitions. First, to eliminate the steeply graded curve from the west side of Preston Railway Station down to the dock estate, and second, to provide an alternate route to Blackpool and the Fylde by avoiding Preston Station altogether. This would have created an entirely new route using the course of the former West Lancashire Railway that terminated at the bottom of Fishergate Hill. This proposal would, as the diagram illustrates, have required the construction of a high level bridge running across the former site of the West Lancashire Station. This new avoiding line would have linked up with the present Blackpool line at Lea. The dock railway line would have run under Fishergate Hill to the west of the avoiding line. This scheme would have required the 'new' Penwortham bridge to have been built 100 yards downstream from where it is located today. One town councilman strongly objected to the proposal as it would have required the removal of several mature trees surrounding the bowling green on Hartington Road. In the end, it was the Great War that put paid to this and several similar plans.

To be truthful, I can't tell you the exact history of this old mill, but I can talk in generalities. This is probably an old papermill. It is located on the lower level canal in Holyoke, MA. Holyoke was built on the banks of the Connecticut River near the South Hadley Falls. The river was dammed to supply water power to the proposed mills that were envisioned by a group of Boston investors. The first dam built around 1860 was an ambitious if not well engineered project. By my guess the river at that point is about 400 yards wide. They constructed a wooden dam that started to back up the water around 10 AM by 3 PM the same day the dam had burst. A second wooden dam was more successful. The canal shown here is the lower level canal. There are two more, higher canals. They were all dug by hand in the late 1800's and are several miles long. The canal system was quite sucessful providing the mill's water wheels with power. The wooden dam was replaced by today's stone dam in about 1900. Many different industries prospered but paper was king in Holyoke. I believe it was one of the largest providers of paper in the world at one time. Unfortunately, the cheap immigrant labor force, primarily Irish & French, eventually were no longer economically viable as many mills closed or moved south. As a result many of these old mills are empty or abandoned. Growing up, they provided some spectacular entertainment in the form of the friday night fire. A presumed arsonist was never caught, to my knowledge, but many , many of these old buildings burned to the ground in those days. The primarily brick and wood buildings were so soaked with machine oil that they would go up like roman candles. The poor fire dept. did well to keep the whole city from burning when one of these went up. To their credit, it was said they never lost a cellar hole.

This proposed coupe would replace the outdated Hawk. It was designed by Brooks Stevens and built in Italy by Sibona-Bassano. Stevens called this replacement 'Sceptre'.
For several reasons Studebaker had to close down its South Bend, Indiana production plant in December 1963.
Some production was replaced to their production facilities in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada). In March 1966 also this factory had to close its doors.
Imagine what kind of cars Studebaker could had offer us if it hadn't gone bankrupt. Master designers Raymond Loewy and especially Brooks Stevens had various plans and ideas for future Studebaker cars.
With a minimum of financial space Brooks Stevens was able to renew the Lark series on a spectacular way. He worked together with the Italian coach-builder Sibona-Bassano to realize his plans.

With description by the photo:
"Stevens and his team did some great work for Studebaker over the years. The 1962 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk with its Thunderbird-inspired roof design was a great looking car that was originally designed by Bob Bourke, who did the 1953 Studebaker models, and later Vince Gardner, who designed the 1956 Studebakers. The Studebaker Sceptre concept model of 1966 was another design that came from the Brooks Stevens design team. Some consumers felt it was the greatest design created for Studebaker by Stevens. There were three models built by Sibona & Basano in Italy on Studebaker’s Lark chassis that were introduced to the automaker’s management team".

Proposed industrial action by First Glasgow staff suspended…..
Industrial action by First Glasgow drivers which would have crippled public transport in the city has been suspended following a new pay offer which was put to the staff. The offer, which the union has encouraged the staff to accept, has meant that strike action, scheduled to begin on 24 November 2023 and due to last a week will not now go ahead. So the buses, such as 33907 (SN11FOV) seen here in an all over recruiting advert will continue to serve the citizens of Scotland’s biggest and greatest city.
This was the original plan of Regalian Properties for Kersal Way. They demolished 8 blocks and left Shelley, Spencer, Cowper and Blake House still standing. The plan was to build houses all over Kersal Way as well as renovating all the flats. The developers were legally obliged to maintain Kersal Way as a passable highway. After building a few houses, and developing Shelley and Spencer they realised that they could not make this work so handed the estate to the Council and cleared off leaving the site in a mess. In 1999 Salford Council had to pay to have Blake and Cowper House demolished. To add insult to injury Regalian Homes received a £5,152,000 grant to create this development in 1990. The University of Salford had offered to take over the estate for student residences, upgrade and maintain the estate and they would hand it back after 50 years. They asked for a £5m grant and it was refused. Hence the predatory developers swooped in milked the public purse, made some money and fled leaving the place in an absolute mess. If Kersal Flats had been given to the University and then handed back this estate alone could have solved more than 10% of the housing list problem in the City.

The Ossington Coffee Palace
Early in 1881, Charlotte, Viscountess Ossington, proposed to present the town of Newark with a new cafe or "Coffee Tavern". It was to be built close to the River Trent, opposite the Castle and cattle market, on land purchased from the Handley family. The purpose of the coffee house was "to promote the cause of temperance therein" and hopefully lure farmers away from the town's public houses.
A title deed dated 16 August 1881 established the coffee house as a charitable concern, with provision for the benefit of Newark hospital. Viscountess Ossington was to be the first manager until her death, and to be succeeded by a group of self-regulating managers or trustees. Four endowment houses on Castlegate were also acquired and administered by the trustees, who also had the power to sell the coffee house if it did not prosper.
The "Coffee Palace" was to be free of any political or party associations and plans were approved by the Urban Sanitary Authority in May 1881. The architects Messrs Ernest George and Peto of Argyll Street, London were engaged to design the premises. The building work was undertaken by Messrs Smith and Lunn of Newark and the corner stone was laid on 10 November 1881 by Mr Peto.
It was architecturally designed as a sixteenth century tavern, with mullioned windows and leaded lights, high gables, steep red tile roofs and a horse trough. Accommodation was extensive. On the first floor was an assembly room for market dinners and large gatherings, a reading room, library and club room for Masonic and other benefit societies. On the second floor was a billiard room and bedrooms for travellers. There was stabling for forty horses, with a cart shed, tea garden and bowling alley! The ground floor housed the general coffee room, a boy's room, kitchen and offices. The opening ceremony took place on 16 November 1882 in the presence of Viscountess Ossington.
In its chequered history, the palace was requisitioned by themilitary in the First World War, by the Air Ministry from 1942 to 1946, and then from 1947 by the Ministry of Works. In the 1960s a court decided that the trust was not a charitable institution as the hotel had always been run on commercial lines, although this had been questioned earlier by the Inspector of Taxes. The heirs of Viscountess Ossington were then traced as the true beneficiaries. The coffee palace was sold in 1978, and is now occupied by the Italian restaurant chain, Zizzi.

Title: Road Map Malvern to Mulgrave with proposed Highway; GLS; ROAD; MAP
A 13 December 1953 report in the Mountain District Free Press reports on these plans in the article The Mulgrave Shire That Might Have Been: Planner's Dream of 1927.
The following extracts from the Plan of general development: report of the Metropolitan Town Planning Commission 1929
explain the proposed roads in detail.
From pages 82-83:
Route No. 18 – Melbourne, Ashburton, and Ferntree Gully Highway
The railway extension from Darling to Glen Waverley which is being built and is already partly opened will foster settlement in those parts. Having regard to the extensive use to which the present approach roads to the city from the east and south-east will be put. it is essential that these existing and indirect routes should not be further congested by the additional traffic which will result from this new development.
When the Commission was planning the area to be served by that new suburban railway, provision was made in the Special Report submitted under date 6th May, 1927 (page 10), for a new arterial road. 120 feet wide, to carry the increased traffic anticipated from these districts. Its construction would have a far-reaching effect on the areas through which it passes. It is practically a completely new route, designed to pass through unbuilt-on and, in the main, unsubdivided areas for the greater part of its length.
It is planned to commence at the junction of the Burwood Ferntree Gully and Bavswater roads, just east of Dandenong Creek. After crossing Dandenong Creek at North Boundary-road practically midway between North Boundary-Highbury roads and High Street-road (see plan,Sheet No'. 14) it crosses Gardiner's Creek just north of High-street road and then crosses Boundary-road along the alinement of Baker-street (see plan, Sheet No. 10)…
This artery would effectively handle the road traffic between the City and the newly developing areas in the Ashburton and Glen Waverley regions and at the same time provide an attractive and direct through route for the extensive tourist traffic to the Dandenong Ranges. The various roads planned in the undeveloped areas that will feed this road will encourage through traffic to use it in preference to the tramline streets in the eastern suburbs, m a n y of winch even at present are uncomfortably crowded. This road has great possibilities as a future trunk highway, and its location is such that the cross movement from less important streets should not cause interruption to the traffic in the main road. If the volume of traffic on this road becomes greater than anticipated, further relief could be obtained by the construction of subways and/or bridges at its intersection with other important cross routes, because its location renders it particularly adaptable to a series of grade separations, which would allow of higher speeds and greater safety.
The contour maps of the areas through which this road is planned show that it would have grades considerably more favorable to traffic than the existing routes, as it has been planned to conform with the contours. Its provision is considered to be of vital importance in the general scheme, and in the section between Gardiner's Creek and Warrigal-road it would create a considerable enhancement in value of the land, bringing districts which are comparatively inaccessible into direct connexion with the City.
Several small sections of this road have already been included in the plans of subdivision since the issue of the Special Report dealing with the area to be served by the Darling to Glen Waverley Railway.
The following extracts are from pages 110-113 where relevant the City of Monash:
Gardiner to Oakleigh—via Gardiner's Creek—
A new road is planned, 100 feet wide, along the valley of Gardiner's Creek to leave Arterial Route No. 18 at the point of the confluence of Back and Gardiner's Creeks, east of Burke-road, and after passing over the new railway just east of East Malvern Station, to follow the eastern side of the old outer circle railway to Dandenong-road. This road should be obtained gradually as opportunity offers, and should not be costly. Its provision in conjunction with Arterial Route No. 18 would supply an alternative route to that via St. Kilda and Dandenong roads. From the central area to Oakleigh, it would also form an integral part of the scheme, referred to under "Parkways," for a continuous parkway drive from Sydney-road at Batman to Oakleigh, via the Merri Creek, Yarra River, and Gardiner's Creek
Burwood—Holmesglen—East Malvern—
Route No. 71, from Doncaster East along the eastern bank of Gardiner's Creek, is continued over Arterial Route No. 18 south-westerly to join The Boulevard at Warrigal-road just north of the new Holmesglen Station. The Boulevard would require to be widened on the creek side and then extended as part of the Gardiner's Creek parkway to join Waverley-road via Route No. 91 at East Malvern. Although also incorporated in the parkways, this route would be valuable as a diagonal main road giving access to the southern and south-eastern suburbs from the outer eastern areas
Wattle Park to Oakleigh, &c-—
The continuous north-south Boundary and Warrigal roads will gradually become of greater importance as development proceeds in the localities which they connect. Boundary road is the first existing north-south road on the east side of Burke-road and it is likely, in consequence, to have to accommodate considerable traffic in the future
It is unfortunate that a continuous north-south route does not exist between Boundary and Burke roads, in the municipality of Camberwell. The general street arrangement of Camberwell is an illustration of the evils of unco-ordinated land subdivisions. Although it would be of material benefit to that municipality if such a road existed ; it is considered that the difficulties which would be encountered in securing it at this stage of development would be too great to warrant a recommendation in its favour
The southern extensions of Warrigal-road over North-road are referred to as Route No.110
East Malvern—Scotchman's Creek—Wheeler's Hill—
Commencing as a continuation of Route No. 91 from the Gardiner's Creek parkway, a new road is proposed, 100 feet wide, following the valley of Scotchman's Creek, absorbing in places, several sections of existing planned streets, and generally following an easy grade about midway between Waverley and Ferntree Gully roads. The road would make a fine parkway as far as Springvale-road, east of which a width of 84 feet only is recommended. The major portion of this road can be procured at no cost. It traverses unsubdivided lands and can be incorporated in future plans of subdivision
Burwood—Kabbereng—East Oakleigh—
Bay View-road and Box Hill-road provide the continuation in this area of Route No. 69, which is one of the outer suburban ring roads shown in the diagrammatic plan. Midway between Waverley-road and Route No. 94, a deviation of Box Hill-road is proposed so as to avoid the steep grades at the crossing of a creek. In view of the difficulties created at East Oakleigh Station by the existing cross roads at the level crossing, special attention has been given to the road junction and railway crossing as shown on the plan, Sheet No. 11. Further continuation southerly of this route is described under No. Ill, which completes a route from Heidelberg and Doncaster to the Bay at Parkdale and Mordialloc
Burwood—Syndal— Wheeler's Hill—
In order to provide a diagonal route across the outer suburban area connecting with various other main routes, the opportunity has been taken to plan a new road, 84 feet wide, from Burwood-road at Middleborough-road south-easterly across Arterial Route No. 18 and crossing May's-road at Syndal Station, thence continued south-easterly to Ferntree Gully-road at Wheeler's Hill at the boundary of the area of planning. This route will assist traffic to reach the railway station, and it also provides an excellent, feeder to the proposed Arterial Rout*; No. 18, and the main Burwood-road. The area through which this road passes is not subdivided so that the ultimate road reserve can be obtained in plane of subdivision without compensation.
East Burwood Syndal—Notting Hill—
A new 84 feet road from Springvale-road, a little to the north of Highbury-road, southwesterly across Arterial Route No. 18 and across May's-road and Route No. 96 at Syndal Station to Ferntree Gully-road, midway between Netting Hill and Box Hill roads at Notting Hill, is planned to give cross suburban facilities and connexion to many other main roads. A small section of this road leading to the new Syndal Railway Station, on the south side, has already been incorporated in a plan of subdivision, and the whole route could be obtained in a similar manner.
Notting Hill to Clayton North—
Having regard to the distance between Box Hill-road and the proposed circumferential road (No. 99), it is proposed that Notting Hill-road and its continuation southerly from Ferntree Cully-road (Gardiner's Lane) be included in the main roads scheme, the latter also being extended southerly to join the outer suburban ring road at North-road
Circumferential Road—Glen Waverley District—
Southerly from the point where the circumferential route, 10(1 feet wide, is planned to cross Arterial Route No. 18, Route No. 75 is continued to join Springvale-road south of High Street-road, thence leaving Springvale-road immediately south of the Glen Waverley Railway Station to proceed south-westerly and southerly to cross North-road about
Circumferential Road—Glen Waverley District—
Southerly from the point where the circumferential route, 10(1 feet wide, is planned to cross Arterial Route No. 18, Route No. 75 is continued to join Springvale-road south of High Street-road, thence leaving Springvale-road immediately south of the Glen Waverley Railway Station to proceed south-westerly and southerly to cross North-road about midway between Springvale and May's roads. Portions of this route in the vicinity of the Glen Waverley Station have already been secured in plans of subdivision.
Route No. 118 is the further continuation of this road as a circumferential highway, and Route No. 112 is the one planned as its principal continuation as an outer ring road circumscribing the built up parts of the metropolis
Oakleigh to Bentleigh and Highett—
As practically the whole of the land between Warrigal and East Boundary roads is unsubdivided, the Commission planned a 66 feet diagonal road across this area from the intersection of Warrigal and North-roads to the junction of Centre and East Boundary roads. By so doing, and by utilizing existing roads, and new ones included in this schedule, an excellent cross suburban artery is provided at no cost
East Oakleigh—Heatherton—Mentone and Mordialloc—
The outer suburban ring road which is planned as a continuous route around the metropolitan area, the northerly extensions of which are made up of Manningham, Elgar, Box Hill, and other roads, is continued to the foreshore southerly from North-road at Eastoakleigh Station via Victoria-avenue (widened to 66 feet) and Clarinda road, the latter being extended due south across unsubdivided and open country the whole way to Lower Dandenong-road.
Main Outer Suburban Ring Road : Wheeler's Hill Clarinda—Cheltenham North Sandringham
This circumferential road, as already defined, has been planned 100 feet wide, Between Ferntree Gully-road and Mordialloc, it is outside the area of planning, but having regard to existing conditions and the ease of its provision, the 100 feet width should be continued diagonally across the vacant lands of the southern suburbs to connect with Bay-road, Sandringham, as follows :—From the circumferential route at Ferntree Gully-road at Wheeler's Hill south-westerly, crossing the intersection of Dandenong and North roads, thence 132 feet wide to the intersection of Old Dandenong-road, and the easterly extension of South-road, thence continuing south-westerly
Circumferential Route: Wheeler's Hill—Dingley—Mordialloc—
Existing thoroughfares outside the area of planning have permitted a route to be planned to continue the circumferential route last dealt with as Route No. 99, southerly from Ferntree Gully-road. From Ferntree Gully-road a 66-feet road is proposed to run southerly about midway between Springvale and May's roads to connect with an existing north-south road linking North and Dandenong roads. Thence the route follows a short new link into existing roads which cross the railway between Clayton and Springvale (see Map No. 4), and eventually connects with Centre Dandenong-road at the Old Dandenong-road.

For many years before the construction of the Thames Barrier at Woolwich (to ensure flood surges do not reach inner London) there were proposals to make the Thames 'tideless' so as to create an impounded river that would enable shipping to be able to use the docks and wharves at all states of the tides. This illustration shows what a proposed Woolwich Barrage would have looked like - with several locks for shipping and a double deck bridge present - upper for traffic and lower for trains. The plate notes that the scheme was vetoed for 'defence reasons'.
Proposed legislation will allow government to prescribe groups of people as Persons with Disabilities (PWD) without them completing a 28-page application or additional assessments by medical practitioners.

Proposed Soviet lunar surface space suit. Their plan called for a single cosmonaut to make the landing and moon walk. Since there was no second crewman on the surface to assist him if he fell down, the Soviets included a "walker" to help him get around.
In addition to this proposed bridge, the Engineering Department also investigated building an underwater "tube" crossing. Found in folder "Mercer Island Bridge or Tunnel Proposed, 1927-1930," Miscellaneous Improvements Records (Record Series 2615-02), Seattle Municipal Archives.
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Wapping, London*. Here are the details of the project
The Funky Roof Terrace garden in Wapping, London
BRIEF:
The clients wanted to change a tired but modern balcony terrace overlooking Tower Bridge on the Thames into a fun but sophisticated area for relaxation and entertaining. The flat is in a block with very tight restrictions on what can and cannot be done to its exterior appearance. Achieving the desired effect within these restraints required a degree of lateral thinking and ingenuity.
SOLUTION:
This riverside terrace garden is been designed with relaxation and sophistication in mind. The focus is on simplicity, combining high-quality features with a hint of playfulness, to avoid detracting from the magnificent views of the Thames and Tower Bridge beyond. Yellow Balau smooth planed hardwood decking provides a contemporary finish to the flooring throughout, arranged to draw the eye out across the river and chosen to reflect the terrace’s waterside character.
To the left hand side of the terrace a slightly raised deck provides a platform for a lounge area, featuring a large mattress weatherproof mattress and cushions, from which to relax and enjoy the view of the bridge. A small waterproof storage area beneath this platform keeps the cushions dry and clean over the winter months. A stunning illuminated cube water feature, flanked on either side by eye-catching Cordylines contained in self-illuminated planters, were installed along the rear boundary wall directly opposite the patio doors, to create an impressive welcome to the space.
Further framing to the terrace is provided by an illuminated planter installed beside both of the pillars supporting the balcony of the flat above. Planting was selected for low maintenance, all year interest and wind tolerance. The right hand side of the terrace forms the main dining area.
Featuring funky illuminated curved seating and three bespoke mobile decking stools around a central glass topped illuminated table, the area offers ample opportunity for alfresco entertaining both day and night. Groups of column lights of varying heights are set adjacent to the dining area and on the raised platform. The lighting focal point is the fun sculptural 6-pointed stars.
TESTIMONIALS:
“Although we had a good sized patio area with fantastic views over Tower Bridge, the space simply didn't work for us and we rarely used it. The design process was very interactive. We had a really open exchange of ideas, and relied heavily on Katrina's creativity and imagination to overcome some restrictive lease requirements. The brief to the team was to give the space a cool and modern 'Ibiza style' look and feel which would be suitable for both entertaining and relaxing. This was primarily achieved through the clever use of sculptural (and functional) lighting and bold colours.”

I recently received this sample plate prototype one of three proposed types for the Canadian territory of Nunavut. Since 1999 when Nunavut became a territory carved out of the Northwest Territories they have used the same style of plates as them. Well Nunavut wants to go it alone with their own license plates.
Of the three prototypes released to the public this is the most likely choice. This plate has some intersting features.
1. This plate will feature for the first time in Canada and probably in the USA an aboriginal person on it's plates in this case an eskimo or Inuit as they are properly referred too.
2. For the first time the Nunavut license plates will feature the legend "OUR LAND" in the Inuit language.
3. A double slogan plate with the legend in red " CANADA'S ARCTIC"
4. Slogan of "OUR LAND" bilingual in English and Inuit.
5. if this style is accepted which I believe it will it will be Canada's first "flat" graphic general issue. A first for the first issue.
According to government sources in Nunavut this will be the choice for Nunavut license plates to debut in 2009 or 2010 at the latest. This plate fully graphic colored mostly black on light blue is the most likely choice for an original license plate from Canada's 13th jurisdiction.
My hang glider is poised and ready as I review my proposed route one last time. First, Sausalito below and, if the prevailing wind is right, Alcatraz Island . . .
Wish me luck!!
