#landing fields

In 1929, the concept of "landing fields" for air mail and passenger planes atop buildings in congested cities enjoyed a vogue. This sketch proposed one such platform for the top of Penn Station and the adjacent General Post Office.

“Federal Plans to Aid the Jobless,” Kingston Whig-Standard. October 28, 1932. Page 7. ---- Dominion Opens 28 Camps to Level Landing Fields --- (Special to The Whig -Standard) OTTAWA — Relief plans by the federal authorities to meet unemployment thla this coming season now shape up as follows: 

Twenty-six camps along the route of the future Trans-Canada airway are being opened up by the department of national defence for the purpose of clearing and leveling landing fields. 

Temporary camps are being established under the department of the interior in the national parks at which brush clearing and road building will be carried on.

A relief settlement scheme along the lines of "back to the land” — sometimes known as the "600 scheme” — is in effect in eight provinces. Up to October 14, 943 settlers with 2187 dependent had been established on land in the different provinces. 

The placing of men to work on farms, by which the farmer will receive $5 a month from the government and the man receives a similar amount, will be in effect exactly as last year when 9,500 took advantage of the scheme. This year the number is expected to be larger. 

Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan have in operation work camps for the single unemployed men, toward the financing of which the federal government pays half. The work to be done is mainly roadwork. 

Some public works are being completed, the cessation of which would have been detrimental. This will give employment to men up to the end of the year though in decreasing numbers. 

For those who do not come within any of the above schemes, the federal government will continue the direct relief contribution of last winter. The organised municipalities are contributing one-third, the province one-third and the federal government one -third. In unorganized districts, province and the federal government share fifty-fifty. 

In the provincial road camps, the men are paid from $5 to $7.50 month and are given their board and housing, with acme provision either by the municipality or other agency in most cases for clothing.

uther has recently been putting more and more pressure and responsibilities on arthur as crown prince of camelot. he’s been dragged into countless meetings, forced to sit by his father during trials, princess after princess has been shoved into his arms in hopes of marriage and arthur is tired. he’s exhausted. he’s been stretched so thin he doesn’t even bother to engage in merlin’s attempts at banter. merlin is concerned and worried and wants to whisk arthur away on a hunt or some other quest to just get him out of camelot to recuperate. arthur is cracking under the stress his father is putting him under but he doesn’t show it bc he is the Perfect Prince. until he catches merlin using magic and he can hear his father ordering him to kill merlin in his mind but he’s certain that choice would actually crush him. if killing merlin, his best friend, is what it means to be prince, he doesn’t want it. he ignores the enraged voice of his father echoing within his mind and grabs merlin’s hand and they flee camelot together to live peacefully on a farm far, far away

many such cases in farming sims, for some reason

the city I live in had to take down a big old tree on public property down the street from where I live but before they did it they stapled a sign to it giving the reason (tree was dead and rotting and was a threat to the road and power lines) and then included contact info for objections to removing it to be brought before the city and idk I know it’s not much but I just think that’s….nice. like a nice acknowledgment that people have connections to plants and particularly big old trees around where they live and should at least be able to be like Please Do Not Cut Down This Big Old Tree For A Parking Lot Or Something. their reasoning for this one was super valid and they did indeed remove the tree earlier this week but quite frankly I was just like. surprised to (at least in theory) be able to have a say in it at all lmao

Tbh, I'm kind of obsessed with the almost tragedy of Eiland and Caldarus in Fields of Mistria. Eiland's dedicated his life to uncovering the secrets and stories hidden in Mistria's archeology - he's single-mindedly devoted to it, so much so that even his side hobbies are influenced by his love of history and desire to know more about Mistria's but it's that devotion that makes him so blind to the magic right in front of him.

It's Eiland's sharp eye that sees Caldarus' statue behind that tree on the farm. It's Eiland who whacks away at the bark with the axe fruitlessly until he's assisted. It's Eiland who coaxes the player to help repair Caldarus' statue and subtly ropes them into joining his History Society. It's Eiland who is devoted to the steles, who gets so excited at the prospect at uncovering a new piece of old Mistria's puzzle that he cuts his outing short to rush to the museum. It's Eiland who realises that all of the different eras of artefacts dug up in Mistria's soil must mean that Mistria itself was once the cradle of civilisation for Aldaria.

And yet, with all of that knowledge, he's still so, so blind to what's right in front of him. He doesn't realise that Juniper is a witch, he merely knows that she is familiar with all manner of the arcane and assumes it's a scholarly pursuit like his instead of what it actually is - Juniper's lifestyle, Juniper's culture. And ultimately, I think that's why he's blind to Caldarus and the magic right in front of him.

Eiland isn't taking the time to stop and really think about what all these artefacts and armaments mean. He isn't considering that remnants of old Mistria still live, he isn't even able to grapple with the question of whether or not it's right for him to dig up the armour at the stele when it's clearly hidden there for a reason. Eiland is completely detached from the history he's searching for and that's why, even with magic and the truth about Mistria right in front of him, he'll remain blind to it.

Graduation is coming up later in April and I’m beyond proud that I’m graduating with honors. I worked super hard to keep my grades up and I get a pretty gold tassel for all my efforts.

!!SBG FASTPASS CHAPTER 86 SPOILERS!!

Oh my god, this chapter was insane. The stakes are rising so high now. The kids are being hunted in both the human and the phantom world and the fact that the phantom world has been more relaxing in the last few chapters is insane.

Jasmine is batshit insane and I don't know if I love or hate her. She's shooting those bullets like this is a BB gun or something but OH MY GOD, LOGAN! LOGAN, LOGAN, LOGAN, LOGANNNNN!

HE SHOT A HUMAN BEING! HE WANTED TO KILL HER! ALL THE KIDS DID AND THESE PANELS ARE SO FUCKING UNSETTLING I LOVE IT!! @pipthetwip it would be so cool if you did some horror art based on these panels!

The way Jasmine was fully ready to kill him for shooting her, talking about how Maverick can make do with five of them and SPEAKING OF THAT!!! @hozaloza YOU PREDICTED THAT JASMINE AND LOGAN WERE GONNA HAVE BEEF, HOW??? ARE YOU SECRETLY A SEER OR SOMETHING?

Anyways onto my favourite loser, Charlie! I literally love him so much he is my favourite member of the Crane Cult. He's like if a normal dude with somewhat decent morals was randomly shoved into a criminal organization and just vibed there until he couldn't anymore XD

Little bit of Aidlyn holding hands for the soul :)

The kids are now heading for New York to get help from the facility headquarters so they can shut the facility down and save their parents, Alex, Ryan, and maybe Charlie? Hopefully Charlie? Please don't kill him off Red

But speaking of New York, DOES RED KNOW THE AMOUNT OF FANFIC POSSIBILITIES SHE HAS GIVEN US AS A FANDOM WITH THIS NEW GOAL? THEY'RE GOING TO NEW YORK, THE LAND OF FICTIONAL HEROES! DO YOU KNOW HOW WELL THIS FITS INTO MY ATSV X SBG CROSSOVER?? RED, I LOVE YOUUUU

Anyways, good night, I can't wait for next week!

“Transients Build Airports Under Federal Relief Plan,” Toronto Globe. October 15, 1932. Page 1 ---- Two Thousand of Homeless Will be Housed, Fed, Clothed and Allowed Spending Money as Government Constructs First Stage of Trans-Canada Airways --- (Canadian Press Despatch.) Ottawa, Oct. 14. – Construction of a portion of the Trans-Canada airway system, repairs and renovations to the Citadels in Quebec and in Halifax, constitute the main program of the Department of National Defense to be undertaken this winter in the interests of the homeless unemployed. Details of the plan were contained in an Order-in-Council tabled in the House of Commons.

The cost to the Government will be $300,000, and the total number of men used on the projects will be limited to 2,000. They will be supplied with shelter, food, clothing, and care and be paid an allowance not exceeding 20 cents per day. The work will cover the period from Nov. 1 to March 31.

As previously announced, the scheme will involve the purchase of the necessary sites, on which the department will establish emergency landing fields as part of the Trans-Canada Airways System. Those will be largely in wilderness sections between Montreal and Maritime Province cities, between Ottawa and Winnipeg, and between Lethbridge and British Columbia. The chief work will be clearing and levelling.

The other stage of this work will be necessary repairs and renovations to parts of the fortifications in Quebec City, and on Citadel Hill in Halifax.

Only those single men who are in receipt of direct relief and who have no homes will be enrolled for this work. They will be sheltered in camps, and will be given necessary clothing and working implements by the department. The Minister of National Defense will be the official charged with the responsibility of carrying out the work in all its phases.
