Around 8,000 buildings in New York City have been burning heavy heating oil. These contribute more soot pollution than all cars and trucks on the City’s roads. The NYC Clean Heat program seeks to improve air quality and save lives in New York by eliminating heavy oil use and accelerating the adoption of cleaner fuels.
Carbon Visuals was asked by Clean Heat project partner Environmental Defense Fund to look at ways to visualise the emissions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in order to encourage building owners and operators to sign up to the program.
Visualising quantities of particle pollution is not easy. The air that supports the particles plays a part in making them dangerous to health (by itself, a pile of powder is not a threat)! For that reason, we show the volume of air saturated to the legal maximum. The maximum density of PM2.5 pollution averaged over an annual period: 15 μg/m3.

"BEYOND SCHOOL: increasing the opportunities for Aboriginal people in post-secondary education
The Aboriginal Education Conference held at the University on October 23 and 24 brought together over 100 Aboriginal Delegates, a majority of them Aboriginal, people mainly from throughout New South Wales and the Hunter Valley. Many of them were students, teachers and lectures from schools, TAFE, universities and colleges of advanced education who came to hear a number of distinguished Aboriginal educationists from other states discuss ways in which they are increasing opportunities for Aboriginal people to enter tertiary education and providing support for Aboriginal students.
Speakers included this year’s Boyer lecturer, Professor Eric Willmot, Head of the School of Education at the James Cook University, who argued the case for providing some exclusively Aboriginal schools while improving the quality of education for Aboriginal students in state schools.
The role that an Aboriginal community college can play in developing self-esteem, confidence and skills necessary to cope with tertiary education was outlined by Lillian Holt, Deputy Principal of the Aboriginal Community College, Adelaide
An overview of Aboriginal tertiary education in New South Wales was presented by Bob Morgan, President of the New South Wales Aboriginal Education Consultative Group. Barry Thorne outlined the role and direction of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) in Aboriginal education.
The training programmes in business administration offered at associate diploma, degree and postgraduate diploma level by the Aboriginal Task Force at the South Australian Institute of Technology were described by Sonny Flynn, Co-ordinator of the Task Force. This replaced a paper to have been given and in fact supplied by Veronica Arbon, on the Programmes, many of them offered externally, by the Aboriginal Studies and Education Centre, at the South Australian College of Advanced Education designed as the key centre for Aboriginal Studies in Australia. Copies of this paper and some others can be obtained from the Department of Community Programmes.
Eve Fesl, a linguist and Director of the Aboriginal Research Centre at Monash University, emphasised the urgent need for Aboriginal graduates. “White people are at the top of the power structure”, Mrs Fesl said “and unless Aboriginal professional people can attain some of these top position, white people will be making decisions about Aboriginal lives for the rest of our lives and for the generations to come”.
She stressed the need for Aboriginal teachers as well as training programmes in Aboriginal culture and history for all teachers. “We can have the best programmes in the world, but if the teachers are racist, the kids will drop out anyhow”. Aboriginal lawyers are also need. “We are now having to pay white lawyers and then having to try to get across to them what we want on land rights and our feelings on the land”.
There is need too, for Aboriginal political scientist. A National Aboriginal Conference established in accordance with Aboriginal traditional systems may have been far more appropriate than the NAC designed by Europeans. Similarly problems experienced by land councils and co-operatives and decision made by bodies dealing with Aboriginal funding illustrate the importance of training Aboriginal economists, accountants, and business administrators.
Aboriginal philosopher, historians and archaeologists are needed to approach their fields from an Aboriginal perspective; likewise Aboriginal psychologists and sociologists who can not only introduce an Aboriginal perspective, but may throw a new light on such issues as why so many white people in Australia have more race hated towards Aborigines than any other group and what makes many white teachers racist in the classroom.
Aboriginal women in Alice Springs have developed plans for an Aboriginal birth centre since a newly-built Alice Springs Hospital is seen as inappropriate to Aboriginal birthing customs. There is a need for Aboriginal doctors and nurses (and architects) with a perception of the different values in Aboriginal society.
Eve Fesl highlighted the problems faced by Aboriginal graduates in what she described as “Aboriginal industry”. White Anglo-Saxon males are still the decision-makers. When equity programmes are introduced often women are chosen who uphold the values of the men in power, “door keepers” who will keep out ant bright women who may threaten male values. White “experts” and some Aboriginal people in positions of authority feel threaten by Aboriginal graduates and sometimes work against them. There is a need to reassure them that tertiary education does not, as it is sometimes claimed, undermine Aboriginality.
The Monash Orientation Scheme (MOSA) established be Eve Fesl and outlined by the current Director, Isaac Brown, in fact was designed to reinforce Aboriginality while giving support to Aboriginal students and equipping them with skills. Isaac Brown described the difficulties faced by Aboriginal students in universities, which he described as “male dominated, conservative, enlist Anglo institutions with a strong middle class bias”. The aim of MOSA is to help Aboriginal students cope with another culture while enabling their own to develop and strengthen. Aboriginal students come to MOSA from all over Australia, many of them come from remote areas.
Aboriginal students are encouraged to explode their past and attempt to identify their original forbears. Going to university is not seen as being isolated from the community, but getting to know the Aboriginal community and becoming part of it. Students attend weekly lectures given by Aboriginal people from the community and are taken to sacred sites, Aboriginal health centres and to other Aboriginal organisations in the community.
In developing literacy and improving communication skills, use is made if the increasing number of Aboriginal authors and comparison and mad with English authors.
Numeracy is developed by building on the knowledge of the community from which the student comes. Mathematics was a part of Aboriginal culture in so far as it was needed. MOSA starts at that point.
Aboriginal students are presented often for the first time with an account of the violence of contact history and the denigration of their culture. This can produce a group of “angry, bitter, frustrated blacks’. MOSA tries however to develop positive attitudes and to show, according to Isaacs Brown, “what we can do to live alongside and within another culture without losing our own”.
Aboriginal student are vulnerable to a “shame job”, humiliation and a sense of failure, so the emphasis in MOSA is on building up confidence and reinforcing positive attitudes.
It is seen as essential that the Director be an Aboriginal person with the required level of education and experience and that the Director should be accessible and approachable at all times. The emphasis is on security, but not dependency. The enclave, located centrally, continues to be used by Aboriginal undergraduate students fro continuing support.
MOSA is a highly successful programme and is seen as a model to be followed by other tertiary institutions.
The Aboriginal Education Conference arose largely as a result of a recommendation from the committee established by Senate to increase opportunities and support for Aboriginal students. Although we have Aboriginal medical students at the University, there are only three other Aboriginal students studying here. The committee had made a number of recommendations to remedy this situation and the Conference presented a splendid opportunity to find out what is succeeding in other places before we embark on our programme.
It also provided an excellent chance to hear from Aboriginal people involved at all levels in education process in this area
A panel of local Aboriginal staff and students from schools and tertiary institutions discussed the educational situation for Aboriginal people in the Hunter Region. Some clearly defined areas which emerged during the Conference provided topics for workshop during part of the final day. Among recommendations arising from the workshops were the need for greater consultation with Aboriginal groups, especially by funding bodies, the need for improvements to the secondary school system and the need for support systems such as those outlined by visiting speakers.
Resources and organisations were provided by the University, CAE, TAFE, the Awabakal Aboriginal Co-operative ant the Commonwealth Department of Education and the New South Wales Department of Education. The Women’s Committee of the Awabakal Aboriginal Co-operative and the Hunter Aboriginal Children’s Service arranged child-minding facilities. The Conference was a truly co-operative effort which already promises some long-lasting benefits."

St Andrew, Wingfield, Suffolk
Famously, Suffolk has no motorways. There are A-roads, B-roads, and a-long-way-from-any-other-roads. It is by way of this last category that you reach Wingfield, lost as it is in the lattice of dog-legging, high-hedged lanes somewhere between Eye and Halesworth. Even if there was no church, Wingfield would still be famous. It has a castle which isn't really a castle, and a college which is no longer a college. It was the combined power of these two, coupled with one of the most powerful families in late medieval England, which has given St Andrew the shape we find it in today. And even if it was just the church, this would still be a beautiful place to come, an elegant building of the 14th and 15th centuries set in a small, sloping, rambling graveyard at a curve in the climbing road beside the village pub.
Fine 18th and early 19th century gravestones abound, and not a great deal seems to have happened since, as if the sleepy air of this backwater has had a soporific effect on the powers of the seasons, the village, and even the passage of time itself. But if the graveyard is a place to remember our ancestors now just out of reach, St Andrew itself is a document of the events, enthusiasms and urgencies of longer ago, the Suffolk of more than half a millennium away.
The great defining moment in English history was the wave of virulent disease which swept western Europe in the middle years of the 14th century, for which the Victorians would coin the popular phrase 'the Black Death'. This outbreak of bubonic and pneumonic plagues would, in the short term, carry off half the population of East Anglia, but it was the economic consequences which would have the greater effect in the long term. As the sons of the old landed families were carried off by the pestilence, so the old estates were broken up and sold off to a rising merchant class. The fall in population resulted in a shortage of labour, handing economic leverage to the ordinary people for the first time. A surplus of consumable produce, and money to spend on it, meant that by the second half of the 14th century we can for the first time identify what might be termed a middle class emerging in English society.
The old feudalism was giving way to what was a kind of proto-capitalism. Many families who rose to prominence during this century became fabulously rich. They exhibited their wealth in their houses and their households, and exercised their piety in donations and bequests to the Church, either in the form of buildings and furnishings, or by paying for Priests. Much of this effort was aimed at ensuring the prayers which would be said for them after they were dead. They hoped to escape the long centuries in purgatory which many of them clearly deserved. Part of this project involved an attempt to reinforce Catholic doctrine in the face of local superstitions and abuses, to make sure that the ordinary people knew their duty. Ironically, many of these families would, a couple of centuries later, embrace firmly the new idea appearing on the continent, Protestantism, and oversee a destructive Reformation in the parish churches that their ancestors had built up and beautified.
But that was in the future. Sir John Wingfield, whose family had owned the manor of Wingfield for generations, survived the Black Death, and perhaps as a form of thanksgiving he established a college of Priests here in Wingfield in his will of 1361. The college buildings survive at the heart of later buildings just to the south of the church. Wingfield's personal fortunes had been bolstered by marrying his daughter into one of the parvenu families which rose to prominence in the 14th century. These people were merchants and traders in the northern coastal city of Kingston upon Hull, nearly two hundred miles away, but theirs was a name which would come to be intimately linked with the county of Suffolk. They were the de la Poles.
Wingfield's grandson, Michael de la Pole, would inherit the Wingfield estates. He built the fortified manor house known as Wingfield Castle, and in the later decades of the century and the early years of the next, he oversaw a massive rebuilding of the church. Only the low tower was left from Sir John's day. De la Pole's father William had been made first Duke of Suffolk. He increased the family's wealth by lending it to the Crown. But it is Michael de la Pole's son that history remembers most firmly. John de la Pole, second Duke of Suffolk, was a notable figure in Shakespeare's Henry VI parts I and II. Wounded at Harfleur, he watched his brother die at Agincourt: All my mother came into mine eyes and gave me up to tears. The most powerful man in England, equivalent of Prime Minister and leader of the military, he surrendered at Orleans to Joan of Arc in person, and his family paid £20,000 for his release, roughly ten million in today's money, but a drop in the ocean to them.
John ended up in his grave rather earlier than he might have expected. Exiled for five years under tenuous circumstances, he was murdered by Henry VI's henchmen as the ship taking him into exile left Dover. On the day before he died, he wrote a letter to his young son enjoining him to look after his mother: Always obey her commandments, believe her counsels and advices in all your works. This message was received by the boy's grandmother, who by virtue of her father's marriage was granddaughter of the writer Geoffrey Chaucer.
Sir John Wingfield, his grandson Michael de la Pole and Michael's son the second Duke of Suffolk, John de la Pole, are all buried here in the chancel at St Andrew. To reach them, you step into the porchless north door of the nave; the porch on the south side was intended to serve the college. The nave is wide and square, and full of light even on a dull day thanks to the lack of modern glass. Only the floor tiles strike a jarring note; what was considered the height of taste in the late 19th century is now, rather unfortunately, reminiscent of Burberry - a bit like chav lino, innit. But never mind, for fashions will change again, and in any case the eye is drawn by the creamy light of the stone-faced chancel, the great arcades seeming to swell and soar as they head eastwards to the drama of the great Perpendicular window.
The chancel aisles continue, the arches become resplendent in motifs and riotous capitals. And above, the clerestory does something extraordinary. What had been a simple range of five evenly spaced windows on each side above the arches, becomes a Perpendicular wall of glass, seven windows on each side of the chancel huddling together and picked out in brick which may well have come from the de la Pole's works in Hull. Conversely, the great range of aisle windows in the nave continues into the chancel on the south side, but on the north becomes sparser and erratic, leaving wall space for monuments. For here was the final resting place of one of medieval England's most powerful families.
A marvellous crocketed and canopied archway surmounts what is now the vestry door, but was once the way into the chapel of the Holy Trinity. Beside it, within a magnificent canopied easter sepulchre, lies the effigy of Sir John Wingfield, founder of the feast. Michael, Earl of Suffolk, lies across the chancel between the sanctuary and the south aisle chapel, his great tomb set within the arch of the arcade. Beside him is his wife Katherine, and their effigies are made of wood, a fairly late example of the technique. An earnest little lion sits up, alert, beneath his feet, and under his head is a sleeping, bearded saracen, his mouth grinning in the rictus of death. One of the most spectacular features of the tomb is the way that the sedilia are built into the northern side, which at once shows that the tomb is in its original location, and also unites the de la Poles in the sacramental liturgy of the church.
But the finest monument here is back across the chancel, on the other side of the sanctuary and backing the wall to the chapel. This is John de la Pole, second Duke. He lies in alabaster beside his wife Elizabeth Plantagenet, sister of Edward IV and Richard III. Their tomb echoes that of John's grandfather, but there are subtle differences. His iconography is the same, but the rendering of the images has changed in half a century. Now, the lion is softer, prouder, and the moor is startling and dignified. This dignity extends to the whole structure, surely one of the finest memorials in England from the later part of the 15th century. Looking at Duke John's face, it seems inarguable that he was sculpted from the life. Beside him, his wife, her pillow borne to heaven by flights of angels, the tiny disembodied hand of one surviving poignantly beside her as she sleeps.
St Andrew is a tale of two churches, a church of two halves. Perhaps no other chancel in Suffolk is as magnificent as that of Wingfield, and it does rather put the nave in the shade. The return stalls survive from the days of the College of Priests, with misericord seats and sombre heads on the hand rests, polished by centuries of standing up and sitting down. Beneath them is an acoustic chamber, as at Blythburgh, an early form of amplification designed to add resonance to the voices of those singing the offices.
But within a century, it was all over. The Reformation did for the College of Priests and prayers for the dead, and the Anglican reformers comprehensively wrecked the buildings which their ancestors had built up with such devotion. What little remained was seen off by the puritans a century later. To be fair, some of the loveliest interiors in Suffolk are those which speak of the 17th and 18th century life of the buildings; but here, at Wingfield, the first response is to mourn what must have been lost. Indeed, by the 17th century this chancel was derelict and disused, probably roofless. What survives in the church from those years is ephemeral, unexceptional; except, perhaps, for the hudd, a kind of sentry box used by clergymen at burials in inclement weather. East Anglia has only one other, at Walpole St Peter in Norfolk.
The chancel was mended in a sympathetic manner in the 1860s; fortunately, the 19th century restoration of the furnishings here came later, and the Victorians can be praised for preserving so much. And if the nave speaks predominantly of any period, then it is of the present day, because this is obviously a thriving church.
One curious note, though: in 1911, the chancel was reordered in an Anglo-catholic fashion with furnishings by the great Ninian Comper. Incredibly, these were almost entirely removed and destroyed in another refurbishment in the 1960s, and all that survives of Comper are the candle holders on the return stall. What we see today in any case is the result of another major restoration in 1999.
So often in a quiet, rural backwater like Wingfield we expect, and usually find, a humble church of the common people, a touchstone to the blacksmith and the wheelwright, the ploughboy and the farrier. Well, they are all here - in the graveyard, they are all around. But St Andrew is not a humble church. It is one of the great English testaments, a story of power and glory, of treachery and downfall. The Dukes of Suffolk are no more, but still St Andrew rides the hidden lanes of the county like a great ship, a ship of light. All around, the 21st century seems rather mundane and shabby by comparison.

St Mary, Yaxley is a pleasing perpendicular church with a tremendously ornate north porch right on the eve of the Reformation - was it a sign of things that would have followed? Inside, the stars are an elaborately carved rood screen and a good collection of medieval glass fragments. The sexton's wheel above the south door is unique in Suffolk, though there's another across the Norfolk border at Long Stratton. The choreographer Frederick Ashton is buried in the churchyard.
I was out in east Suffolk test-driving the new Buildings of England: Suffolk , a real pleasure. At nearly every church I found something I hadn't noticed before.
The new edition is in two volumes, Suffolk:East and Suffolk:West. Pevsner had only needed a single volume of about 500 pages for the first edition, but the fabulous new expanded edition runs to more than 1300 pages. The new Buildings of England volumes for Suffolk are published on April 23rd. People will just have to buy both.

Major Edward Sherson, T.D., who has been killed in action, was a well-known Auckland officer. He joined "A" Battery nearly thirty years ago, and passed through every rank in turn from gunner to lieutenant-colonel, commanding the Auckland Field Artillery Brigade, being a commissioned officer for over twenty years. He held the Colonial Auxiliary Forces Officers' Decoration and the Long Service Medal. At the outbreak of the war, although over military age, he offered to serve in any capacity the authorities desired. He was offered an appointment in the infantry with the rank of major, which he accepted, and left New Zealand in command of the twentieth reinforcements in December, 1916. Major Sherson took up his new duties so thoroughly that he quickly qualified for and was appointed to the position of chief musketry instructor in Sling camp, England, where he was kept till April last, when he crossed to France. There he joined the Second Battalion, Auckland Infantry, with which he was serving at the time of his death. Major Sherson leaves a widow and had four sons and one daughter, the youngest son being 14 years of age and the daughter 10. The two eldest sons are serving with the artillery in France, while the third was on the Antarctic ship Aurora when that vessel disappeared in the Pacific last year. [2]

CHAR-A-BANC CAPSIZES.
COLLISION WITH TRAMCAR.
MAN DIES OF INJURIES.
FIVE OTHER PEOPLE HURT.
A sensational accident, with fatal consequences, occurred in Khyber Pass Road at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when a large char-a-banc, loaded with passengers for the races at Ellerslie, struck a tramcar and capsized, throwing the passengers into the roadway. Six persons sustained injuries necessitating medical attention, one of them succumbing to his injuries several hours later in the Auckland Hospital. Those who received injuries are: Mr. Hugh Sherson, aged 24. Assistant traffic inspector to the City Council, who resided at 14, Hayden Street, fatal injuries.
Mr. Frank Houser, a married man, aged 28, residing at King's Court, injuries to face and right arm.
Mr. Leonard Brokenshire, a young man residing at Avondale, bruises to face and hands.
Seaton Hammond, a child whose parents reside in Grey Lynn, injuries to right foot.
Delphio Jackson, a thirteen-year-old child, of Te Aroha, injuries to right leg.
Mr. Houser was admitted to the hospital, but the other four mentioned as receiving minor injuries were able to proceed to their homes. Another man, whose name was not ascertained, also received slight injuries, which were treated at the hospital before he went home.
Descent of Park Road Slope.
The char-a-banc, carrying a full complement of passengers, and driven by the owner, Mr. Frederick Charles Cleal, carrier, of Victoria Street West, was proceeding down the slope of Park Road with the engine cut off, when a tramcar, which had stopped immediately above the junction of the road with Khyber Pass Road, moved on again down Khyber Pass toward Newmarket. On seeing the tramcar, the driver of the motor-vehicle instantly applied the brakes, but the slope of the road and the heavy passenger load made a checking of speed and, though the vehicle swerved to avert a collision, it struck the rear of the tramcar and overturned. The passengers were thrown in all directions- Mr. Sherson was said to have been standing on the footboard by the driver's side when the vehicle capsized. The driver himself escaped injury. Dr. A. McG. Grant was summoned to the scene of the accident, and ordered Mr. Sherson, who was suffering from serious internal injuries, to be removed to the hospital. The injured man, however, succumbed at about 4.33 p.m. The char-a-banc sustained damage to the bonnet and minor breakages. The impact as it capsized tore the hood completely off. The vehicle was one of the largest of its class, and was insured. The tramcar, comprising two coupled cars, escaped all other damage than a broken side panel.
View Obscured by Hoarding.
The driver of the char-a-banc, Mr. Cleal, stated yesterday that his view of the tramcar was obscured at first by a large advertising hoarding situated at the side of the car-stop. On noticing the car moving out from the stop he sounded the horn frequently and applied the brakes, but they had no effect in stopping the vehicle's progress. A complaint regarding the same locality was made recently at a meeting of the Grammar School Board of Governors, when it was pointed out that a similar hoarding on the opposite side of the road constituted a danger to traffic emerging from Mountain Road into Khyber Pass.
The record of the family has been a somewhat tragic one, the father having been killed in action during the war, and the youngest of the three sons having lost his life on the Antarctic ship Aurora which disappeared in the Pacific in 1917.
Mr. Hugh Sherson was born in Auckland, and was educated at the Beresford Street School and the Auckland Grammar School. He went to the front in 1918 as a gunner in the 9th Battery, New Zealand Field Artillery. On his return after the armistice he undertook traffic inspector's duties for the City Council. Deceased's father, Major Edward Sherson, a well-known Auckland officer, left for the front in 1916, in command of the 20th served with the Second Battalion, Auckland Infantry, and was killed at Crevecoeur in October, 1918. Before the war he was a lieut.-colonel in the Field Artillery, The eldest son served with the artillery in France, and is now a purser on the Paloona.[13]

The basic image of this great new Ipswich building (taken on 120 slide film) suffered from some internal reflections / light leaks in the camera so I cropped it drastically then flipped / reflected it in Photoshop.
Composite Scan of the outside cover, inside cover, and sales wrap for the fifteenth and final volume in DengekiComics Japanese manga adaptations of episodes from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series. This volume features adaptations of "Donatello Makes Time" and "Donatello's Degree." The back cover features mad scientists Professor Lloyd Cycloid and Professor Filo Sopho. Irma gets some love making a cameo on the spine!
The credits page dates this publication as February 15, 1995.
Dengeki volumes followed the episode order of the show's airdates on Japanese television between October 6, 1993 and May 5, 1994. If Dengeki had published a 16th volume, it is likely it would have adapted "Raphael Knocks 'Em Dead" and "Raphael Meets His Match."

This small breviary, having more that five hundred folio, is extraordinary for its length, considering it is the summer portion of a two-volume breviary for the use of Liège. The manuscript was completed for ecclesiastical use at Cathedral of Notre-Dame and St. Lambert in Liège in 1420 circa. The attribution is evidenced for instance by the Petitions to the congregation of this Cathedral (fols. 114v-117v), as well as the armorial shield of the family of Surlet de Chokier of Liège represented at the opening of the Psalms. The manuscript has a modest, but interesting, decoration with historiated and non figural initials that mark the liturgical texts. The folios opening the major divisions of the texts, display a border decoration with natural motifs and angels playing instruments. The most notable pictorial effect is probably found in the initials inhabited by transparent figures on rich blue ground. The technique is visible, for instance, on fol. 156r with the gold monstrance hold by the translucent angels for the feast of the Corpus Christi.
Seventeenth-century Flemish stiff-board vellum; sides bent to form 8 mm flap at fore-edge; rebacked; resewn on four double cords; gilt fillet frame, corner fleurons, centered oval formed of gilt laurel; gilt armorial shield inside oval surmounted by crest with horned man, flanked by monogram R C; modern endbands; brown leather fore-edge tabs.

This 3 volume set covers the Munich Airport, from construction to branding and design. My set is an earlier edition that only includes the first two books "Conception" and "Realisation". The third book, "Function" wasn't yet completed so a cardboard placeholder is included with a postcard that you mailed in to redeem the book when it was completed.
A furry and eared cap and loose collar give this guitarist a uniquely adorable look.
