Two classes of students at the Newhouse School launched a project in April examining housing in the city of Syracuse. The work was inspired by a recent report — Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing — by Central New York Fair Housing (CNYFH), a major nonprofit that works to assure equal opportunity in where we live and how we live. The report indicates much remains to be done to assure equal access in Syracuse, which has been rated the ninth most segregated city in the U.S.
The student project, which continues to be updated, profiles a number of city residents, and also explains in depth how CNYFH and others advocate for housing rights.
The project debuts in timely fashion. April is National Fair Housing Month, which celebrates the passing of the Fair Housing Act. View stories at myhousingmatters.com. The project was administered by Newhouse professors Steve Davis and Emilie Davis in the Department of Newspaper and Online Journalism.
Through a collaboration including Newhouse’s Urban Affairs Reporting class, an Advanced Editing Class and CNY Fair Housing, we put faces on the data from the report to tell real people’s stories — residents directly touched by the identified disparities.

Matter is a wide, bold grotesque font based on several concepts from the mid-century modern corporate world and scientific textbooks. Matter features alternate characters such as a two story lowercase-a that are easy to toggle between with OpenType. Matter works great for editorial headlines and identity designs requiring a unique, yet classic typographic solution.

------ Statement --------
It can be simple to take for granted how much land there is around us. There are fewer places now that are unseen and unpossessed, but, on the other hand, we also easily overlook the places we have already been. These are places that pull. My works are objects that aid in a discussion on our historic relationship with the natural world, our intentions, successes, and failures.
What do we think of when we think of the wild landscape? By now, we are all aware of these areas that are marked as sacred lands. The preservation of the land would save the land, keeping these areas pristine, naturally changing over time. What can be done to inform and create awareness of our dwindling wilderness, our shifting climate?
My work pays homage to these landscapes life in their authentic form while still referencing their dissipation and the restrictions we’ve placed on these areas. I highlight the beauty and their unique and organic qualities within rigid, geometric structures. When you have walk amongst leafed giants and sailed through ice laden fjords the need to defend these areas becomes urgent. In defense of this scenery, the view, it simply being should be enough.

The Roads Campaign Council, an umbrella group that comprised a wide range of parties interested in road transport, was backed by the British Road Federation and seems to have been active in the post-war years as road transport began to grow and investment in roads was seen as being tardy. The 1950s saw the serious development of schemes for major routes such as motorways and ambitious plans for new roads as part of urban redevelopments and these would, of course, be brought to fruition in the 1960s onwards.
The Campaign issued a series of publicity or propaganda booklets and this is called "Roads Matter - West Riding of Yorkshire" and is in the same format as other regional booklets issued in this series. The booklet has text and a series of images showing congestion in urban areas such as Skipton, Pontefract and Hebden Bridge. Although many of the plans shown here came to fruition, such as the regional motorways, it is strange to think that many of the roads seen here as still traffic magnets due to the growth in motor vehicles and the dramatic increase in so many 'short distance' road journeys.
The photos are of good quality and show street and roadscapes now lost along with many contemporary vehicles and period features that prove to make for fascinating research! The county referred to is the historic West Riding of Yorkshire, an authority that covered a vast geographical area and that in 1974 was divided into two new Metropolitan Counties (West and South Yorkshire) and one new County Council, that of North Yorkshire along with other smaller changes. The book credits a designer - John Denison-Hunt FSIA - and although not dated appears to be 1957.
These two images show an urban and a rural setting. The top photo shows the busy A646 road, then an important trans-Pennine route as it followed one of the few 'valley' routes and avoided the steep climbs of the more 'direct' roads such as the A58 and A62. Under what looks like old Wardel sodium street lighting we see a variety of commercial vehicles, inluding a Pickford's small tanker and an Ever Ready Battery delivery vehicle amidst the then darkened gritstone architecture.
The lower picture shows a steep bend on the A638 route at South Emsall that was an important connector road to the A1. AS an AEC lorry heels over a Morris Minor heads the other way keeping well clear!

For the challenge Words Hatch.
Lyrics. It almost doesn't matter the genre, give me lyrics that speak to me, and I'm hooked. This is one of my favorite songs. I spoke a verse of it at my dad's funeral.
Who knows who it is?!
PS: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to listen to this album this morning and drone out some of the pinging I often get at work from Teams. :-)
Auschwitz- Birkenau Death Camp.
Auschwitz is probably one of the world’s most infamous places and no matter how much knowledge you may or may not have of history, nothing can prepare a person for the visit to such a place. The level of atrocities carried out are indescribable , the sadistic cruelty beyond comprehension by any reasonable individual. Initially established to house prisoners opposed to The Third Reich, Auschwitz was later the centre of the Nazis so called Final Solution of The Jewish Problem. At least one million, one hundred thousand people were murdered there, 90% were Jews from all over Europe. These people were herded together and transported in cattle wagons and shipped by rail to Auschwitz and Birkenau in the most inhumane conditions. Many never made it there.
Auschwitz was the original camp, a disused army barracks converted, this now houses the State Museum of Auschwitz with many harrowing exhibits of Nazi cruelty. It was here the SS tortured and starved prisoners and Dr Joseph Mengele carried out his experiments. Cyclone B was discovered here in an attempt to kill lice as this was becoming a problem as prisoners themselves and their conditions deteriorated. In experimenting with the chemical it was developed as a very quick and efficient way of killing humans by suffocation.
Birkenau is massive and was built as a killing factory. Seventy five per cent of arrivals were instantly condemned to death, by the flick of the finger of the SS Officer. These were gassed in the gas chambers built specially for this purpose. All children under fourteen and the infirm or disabled were immediately disposed of. The other twenty five per cent were the young and fit and they were put to work but three months was a long time to last. The diet had an intake of 1500 calories a day and the work was for fourteen hours a day, it didn’t take long just to starve to death, just three months for the young and strong.
No matter what a person’s political or religious views may be, nobody could be unaffected by a visit to Auschwitz- Birkenau and while it is important to pay respect to those who suffered, it is more important we never forget and insure this cannot happen again.

So nah, egal wie fern
Es könnte nicht stärker von Herzen kommen
Ewig auf das vertrauend, was wir sind
Und nichts anderes zählt
Noch nie habe ich mich selbst so geöffnet
Das Leben gehört uns, wir leben es auf unsere Weise
All diese Worte, sage ich nicht einfach so
Und nichts anderes zählt
Vertrauen suche und finde ich in dir
Jeder Tag ist etwas Neues für uns
Offen für eine andere Sichtweise
Und nichts anderes zählt
Kümmerte mich nie um das, was sie tun
Kümmerte mich nie um das, was sie wissen
Aber ich weiß...
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
