1832 Nov., Tues. 20

7 20/..

11 50/..

Thick, hazy, soft morning Fahrenheit 47º at 7 1/2 a.m. Downstairs at 8 20/.. to speak to Goodyear (from near Brookfoot and Southholm) come about the stone in George Naylor’s land – Bids 5/. [shillings] a yard but wishes a hole to be opened to see the stone, and if worth more will give it – His 2 partners are Heap of H–x [Halifax] and Naylor of Willow hall – Said he was to tell George Naylor of upper place where he would like the hole to be made and I would see about it – He staid talking an hour till Throp came –

Then breakfast in 20 minutes and out with Throp at 9 40/.. to 12 20/.. – Took Throp all along the walk – Then to Well-royde upper wood – Will plant it at 15/. [shillings] a thousand with oaks at 10/. [shillings] in rows 2 feet asunder, and the plants 2 feet asunder in the rows, and between each plant in each row put in 2 acorns – (he has acorns from London at 4/. [shillings] a thousand – come from near Dorking) and keep the piece now trenched clear for 4 years at 20/. [shillings] a year – If the rough piece at the top was planted it would cost 10/. [shillings] a year additional keeping clean –

Then took him to the Cunnery wood – Hardly a good handsome plant in it – Has done very ill – Would fill it up with good 2 or 3 feet plants and uphold and keep them sufficiently clean for 4 years at £5 an acre – But could get it all trenched over at 1/3 a rood of 49 square yards which would be about 6 guineas an acre – And plant it with acorns at 40 /. [shillings] an acre and the acorns would cost about a guinea an acre (acorns at 4/. [shillings] a bushel and 1/. [shilling] a bushel carriage and about 3 or 4 bushels per acre) would make the trenching and planting with acorns about £10 an acre and then would keep all clean at 40 /. [shillings] an acre – Thus this plantation of about 3 acres would have cost me in 4 years about £50 – Said I would think about it –

On leaving Throp at 12 20/.. went down my walk to the brook – Pickles not there today or yesterday –Then to Charles Howarth’s to value the oak tree lying in the Cliff hill ground – If it will come in for any of my uses will buy it –

Home about 1 1/4 – Saw my aunt – Changed my clothes – Wrote all the above of today till 2 1/2 – Waiting for Joseph Wilkinson who was to be here at 2 – From 2 1/2 to 3 35/.. read from page 58 to 100 (end of the life of Romulus and comparison between him and Theseus) volume 1 Langhorne’s Plutarch –

Off at 3 3/4 to Lidgate – Talking to Jack Green by the way – That throw down just behind Mytholm engine (2 or 3 yards back towards Hippherholme) as of 16 yards – Told Jack of wanting to see Joseph Wilkinson – Would give him tomorrow to come in (but if did not see him there Mr. Parker must try and settle for us about footpaths and water to Lower brea –

At Lidgate at 4 30/.. – I had met Miss W– [Walker]’s postboy with a note asking me to dinner at 5 and stay all night tomorrow – The Mill house Rawsons cannot go to her till the 3rd and ask whether this would interfere with our going to York –

You know how glad I shall be to see you and remember how truly happy [y]ou will make me if I can be useful to you in any way in your enterprize au secret. I reproached myself not a little yesterday that it did not occur to me to say this yesterday. I thought of it before you had been gone five minutes.

Very good of her, but thought I, I shall take care of getting under obligation of this kind. Declined going tomorrow – Miss Parkhill urged my going to them – Said I was afraid I could not even promise for Thursday –

Sat talking 3/4 hour to them got up to come away – Miss W[alker] took me into the dining room. Explained that I thought it better not to stay all night again during Miss P[arkhill]’s visit, and declined even breakfasting there, and made Miss W[alker] agree that I was right. She seemed glad to see me and more affectionate than usual. Kept me twenty five minutes. To call again at Lidgate on Friday –

Home in 1/2 hour (dark) at 6 10/.. – Changed my things – Dinner at 6 1/2 – Had Pickles with the man he summoned the other day for cutting sticks in the hedges – Pretended greatish anger and difficulty in letting the man off (at Pickles’s entreaty) for paying for the summons, and giving Pickles 5/. [shillings] –

Wrote the following in answer to note I found on my desk from Mr. Mitchell the land valuer (who had been to speak to Mr. Carr about Godley, who said that, out of gratitude to me, he should make me the 1st offer of it) –

“Shibden hall Tuesday 20 November 1832. Sir – I was not at home when your note arrived – I shall be glad to see you tomorrow morning at the earliest hour you can make it convenient to come after 8 – At 8, if that hour will suit you, will suit me best – I am, Sir, etc. etc. etc. A Lister" –

Sent this note by John to "Mr. Mitchell, Cowmarket, Halifax" – Wrote the last 24 lines till 8 40/.. – Then read from 100 to 113 volume 1 Langhorne’s Plutarch and had a little nap till 9 3/4 – Then went into the other room and sat talking to my aunt till 10 50/.. –

Letter from Lady Stuart dated 16 November, 4 pages of 1 large sheet and a 1/2 sheet full from Lady Harriet de Hagemann, Copenhagen, dated 4 November. Both franked by Lady Althorp and printed over the top on his majesty’s service – Both very kind letters – Both Lady S– [Stuart] and Lady H[arriet] de H– [Hagemann] wishing to see me – Lady S– [Stuart] would I hope receive the shawl the day after she wrote – Asks my interest for Mr. Wortley – I shall explain about this – Still not knowing what Vere will do –

Thick, hazy, soft November day but fine enough for the time of year – Fahrenheit 49º at 11 p.m. –

Leeds Beckett University presents nine architecture and design projects

A "Recycled Fun Palace" and pottery studios for autistic and non-verbal people are included in Dezeen's latest school show by Leeds Beckett University.

Also included is a project that imagines a post-viral Blackpool and another that explores the idea that colonising another planet is the solution to climate change.

Leeds Beckett University

School: Leeds Beckett University, Leeds School of Architecture Courses: BA(Hons) Architecture, BA(Hons) Landscape Architecture and Design, BA(Hons) Interior Architecture and Design, MA Landscape Architecture, Master of Architecture (MArch) Tutors: Claire Hannibal, Tom Vigar, Simon Warren, Keith Andrews, Doreen Bernath, Nick Tyson, John Maccleary, Chris Royffe, Sarah Mills, George Epolito, Mohammad Taleghani, Alia Fadel, Amanda Wanner and Maryam Osman

School statement:

"Leeds School of Architecture questions what architecture and the built environment can contribute to the world we live in from a cultural, social and political point of view. As a result, we have expanded modes of practice, research, and inter-disciplinary work to inform new critical voices and collectively empower creative minds to tackle our current environmental and ethical challenges.

"Our continued school ethos of collaboration enables new design problems and solutions to emerge, and the projects exhibited within this showcase crucially engage with this theme.

"There have been many student successes as a result of the school's continued collective action, studio agendas, and the commitment of its students and course staff teams.

"During 20/21, opportunities for our students to locate their practice in wider contexts included collaborations on projects with Crescent Arts - Scarborough, the Forestry Commission, Henshaws Specialist College, Leeds Art Gallery, Portsmouth University, Temple University - Philadelphia, New Wortley Community Association, CATCH (Community Action to Create Hope) - Harehills, Halifax Opportunities Trust, and MAP Charity, Leeds.

"The work presented brings together student work from across the following programmes: BA(Hons) Architecture, BA(Hons) Interior Architecture, and Design, BA(Hons) Landscape Architecture and Design, MA Landscape Architecture and Master in Architecture (MArch)."

The Survivor's Sanctuary (The Black Plague of Blackpool, The Walking Dead) by Dominic Stewart

"Once a hamlet by the sea, Blackpool emerged as a significant seaside destination for the well-to-do in the nineteenth century. Since this period of boom, however, it has suffered a decline, and although it remains a destination, it currently exists in two states lodged between the permanent – its residents – and the transitory – its fleeting visitors.

"The project imagines a post-viral townscape that questions ideas of community and the fragile state of our urban fabric. Set within a global pandemic, the rebirth of civilisation forces inhabitants to examine historic ways of building whilst developing technologies of energy production.

"The Survivor's Sanctuary proposes a future that challenges ideas of self-sufficiency, sustainable building, and the structural adaptability of reclaimed materials. A testbed for ideas, the success of the future lies in the hands of those who have survived."

Student: Dominic Stewart Course: BA(Hons) Architecture Tutor: Claire Hannibal

The Recycled Fun Palace: Repurposing Philadelphia's Refinery Infrastructure through Community Institutes by Luke Singleton

"Citizen Agency studio projects were located in Philadelphia, USA, commencing with The Edmund N. Bacon Urban Design Awards Student Competition. The site is a 1,300-acre redundant refinery close to Philadelphia's centre. 13 students prepared one group entry titled 'Community Institutes'.

"Our design studio was awarded third prize. From each student's contribution to the competition, a community institute proposition was developed.

"The Recycled Fun Palace reuses a disused gasometer. The immense structure takes on a new role, acting as the framework for a Cedric Price-inspired superstructure. In response to the ever-increasing climate emergency, the new architecture has been constructed by reusing refinery infrastructure."

Student: Luke Singleton Course: BA(Hons) Architecture Tutor: Simon Warren

The Seven Vails of The Lord by Cassie Norrish

"The Abstract Machines studio projects were based in York and explored the following propositional themes. Research into the cultural manifestations of political parties with students defining their position; exploration of the spatial systems through which party organisations could manifest themselves; and how an architectural language can represent the ideals and values of the defined organisation within a particular culture.

"Norrish's project called 'The Seven Vails of The Lord' examines institutional religion's subordination of women through hierarchy, ritual, and spatial exclusion.

"The project deconstructs the faith's given axioms through a series of narrative spatial sequences overlaid with subverted historical and contemporary church rituals."

Student: Cassie Norrish Course: BA(Hons) Architecture Tutor: Keith Andrews

The Colony by Sam Pick

"This studio explored plans. It considered how they are created and what implications this method has on their realisation as spaces.

"Students developed unique approaches to plans as counter positions to rational 2D methods. Projects were set in Greenwich, with students given free control over briefs and programmes to explore their approaches.

"This project proposes that colonising another planet is the only response to the increasing danger of climate change. The 'colony' uses 3D-printing methods to explore spatial limitations and consider how the inhabitants might cope with being in control of their own environment.

"The spatial consequences of 3D printing are explored alongside a politically charged narrative over time, with the colony inhabitants coming together and pulling apart as they modify their surroundings."

Student: Sam Pick Course: BA(Hons) Architecture Tutor: Tom Vigar

Breaking the Mould: Pottery Workshops for Autistic and Non-verbal Individuals by Hannah Elebert

"Through art-based studio practice and self-generated projects, our interior architecture and design graduating students create sustainable interior spaces, engaging with the adaptive reuse of buildings and structures in response to contemporary social, ethical and political issues.

"Elebert's project advocates for environmental inclusion through creating an interactive space designed to accommodate the needs of autistic and non-verbal individuals.

"Located in the Former Calcining Works, a Grade II Listed Building in Stoke-on-Trent, the project extends the legacy of the site including learning spaces and pottery workshops for the manipulation of clay.

"Focus is given to the detailing of transition spaces that address the specific accessibility needs of autistic and non-verbal children."

Student: Hannah Elebert Course: BA(Hons) Interior Architecture and Design Tutors: Maryam Osman and Amanda Wanner

Leeds Innovation District by Magdalena Maciejewska

"This studio was designed to create opportunities for students to demonstrate creativity, personal focus and design competence through undertaking a comprehensive landscape architecture challenge in Leeds Innovation District.

"Together with Leeds universities and the teaching hospitals NHS Trust, the city have embarked on creating a focal point for innovation in the city.

"Alongside development opportunities, they are encouraging collaboration between universities, health professionals and civic leaders to enable business and job creation and growth.

"This project is a landscape proposition at the heart of the proposed district, including sculptures built with solar panels and corten steel that will power street lighting and water features."

Student: Magdalena Maciejewska Course: BA(Hons) Landscape Architecture and Design Tutors: Alia Fadel and Mohammad Taleghani

Kirkstall Forge Sponge Park by Nisha Hawkridge

"The design of Kirkstall Forge Sponge Park on the River Aire in Leeds is driven by natural interventions. It creates a resilient landscape that responds to the impacts of flooding and climate change now and in the future.

"The park will support the river by protecting the surrounding settlements and filtering water runoff before it reaches the river; provide wildlife with biodiverse habitats along with clean river water which will promote aquatic life; and bring people together with both flooding and wildlife through natural strategies

"Kirkstall Forge Sponge Park will embrace flooding and proposes natural features that work with increased rainfall and not against it."

Student: Nisha Hawkridge Course: Master of Landscape Architecture Tutors: John Maccleary and Chris Royffe

Skeletons, Skins and Parallaxes: Laboratories of Politics and Kinetic Inhabitation by Amy Ferguson

"The Cinematic Commons studio seeks to depart from the current challenging situation – isolation protocols, domestic implosion and disabled public realms – to probe alternative possibilities of spatial conditions to resist the control, disconnection and dissolution of urban public spaces.

"While the connection of homes and streets in terms of political demonstrations has in recent decade been altered due to the capabilities of instant and mobile documentation, this recent period of COVID-19 lockdown further magnified the desire towards the combination of remote and in-situ political movements – the era of 'armchair activism.'

"This project aims to recognise the potential of linking a locally immersive and adaptive environment of work and occupancy with globalised political campaigns on worldwide environmental and ecological issues.

"Thus, the project creates 'laboratories of politics' equipped with architecturally kinetic mechanisms of 'skeletons, skins and parallaxes', drawing inspiration from the adaptability of film and theatre production sets and multi-locational virtual reality relaying technologies for future inhabitants.

"The project probes a series of protest architecture for activists and a hub of 'politics-as-lived' for the like-minded to research, campaign and form communities of affinities.

"The adaptability of the architectural, kinetic mechanism activates the protest territories, occupying and transforming spaces within the street, on structures and within buildings.

"Many parts of the architectural, kinetic system can be re-distributed in the protest territory and also move to remote locations yet keeping a synchronic relation with the base labs. The parallax of space across time extends to a parallax of multiple situations and modes of activisms."

Student: Amy Ferguson Course: Master in Architecture (MArch) Tutor: Doreen Bernath

A Post Pandemic Pocket Book to Re-connect a Faceless Society by Grace Butcher

"The ‘Post Pandemic Story Book’ takes the opportunity to reconnect society through participatory design. The project focuses on 'care' to explore modes of inhabitation for a multi-generational population, providing user-modified spatial layouts connected by generous garden spaces that allow for escape or chance meeting.

"The Liverpool North Docks site is restructured through a series of engineered timber frameworks which are then populated by a set of conditions and increasingly finer material systems that negotiate from the strategic to human scale. The architectural outcome is driven by user appropriation and demand for open-ended programmes of occupation, offering creative capabilities for an uncertain future."

Student: Grace Butcher Course: Master in Architecture (MArch) Tutor: Nick Tyson

Lock em up!!! Georgia state Rep. Betty Price is not just any old Republican state lawmaker. She’s married to disgraced former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and, like him, she’s a doctor. That information is by way of context to demonstrate that Betty Price’s recent comments about people living with HIV are doubly or triply more disturbing than they might seem on the surface. Which is already damn disturbing because, in short, Price wonders if quarantine might be an option for people with HIV, being as they live so much longer than they used to. At a state House committee meeting on access to health care, Price had some questions and comments for Pascale Wortley, the director of the HIV Epidemiology Section for Georgia Department of Health: "And I don’t want to say the quarantine word, but I guess I just said it. Is there an ability, since I would guess that public dollars are expended heavily in prophylaxis and treatment of this condition. So we have a public interest in curtailing the spread. What would you advise or are there any methods legally that we could do that would curtail the spread,” Price added. (Quarantine, as it happens, is something of a legal gray area at this point, even if you were enough of a monster to want to quarantine people living with a treatable disease.) But Price had more to say! “It seems to me it’s almost frightening the number of people who are living that are potentially carriers, well not carriers, with the potential to spread, whereas in the past they died more readily and at that point they are not posing a risk. So we’ve got a huge population posing a risk if they are not in treatment,” Price said later during Wortley's presentation. Gee, wasn’t it great when AIDS was a death sentence?

A Republican politician has sparked outrage after asking about the legality of quarantining HIV patients. Betty Price, a Georgia state representative, whose husband Tom Price was Donald Trump's former health secretary was speaking at a House Committee Meeting about health care access in her state. Ms Price was questioning the director of the HIV/Aids Epidemiology Section at the Georgia Department of Public Heath, Dr Pascale Wortley, who avoided the direct issue of quarantine while discussing other prevention plans.

Georgia lawmaker, wife of Tom Price, suggests people with HIV could be 'quarantined'

Alex Wong/Getty Images

A Georgia state lawmaker — the wife of former Trump health secretary Tom Price — is drawing condemnation for suggesting that people with HIV might be quarantined to curb the spread of the infectious disease.

Republican state Rep. Betty Price, a former anesthesiologist who represents people living in the northern Atlanta area, asked in a hearing this week "what are we legally able to do" to limit the spread of HIV throughout the state.

"I don’t want to say the quarantine word — but I guess I just said it," Price said to Dr. Pascale Wortley, director of the Georgia Department of Public Health’s HIV epidemiology section. "But is there an ability, since I guess public dollars are expended heavily in prophylaxis and treatment of this condition, so we have a public interest in curtailing the spread… Are there any methods we could do legally to curtail the spread?"

Her remarks came Tuesday morning during a Georgia House of Representative study committee meeting about barriers to access to health care in the state, and are captured in video of the hearing. The remarks were first reported by Project Q Atlanta, a local website serving the city’s gay community.

Georgia was home to nearly 50,000 people diagnosed with HIV in 2014, and had the second highest rate of new diagnoses among all states the following year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Worsley’s presentation noted that gay black men in metro Atlanta have by far the highest rates of HIV diagnoses in Georgia. AIDS researchers have compared the severity of Atlanta’s epidemic to that of some nations in Africa.

"It’s almost frightening the number of people who are living that are carriers with the potential to spread," Price said during the hearing. "Whereas in the past, they died more readily, and at that point, they’re not posing a risk. So we’ve got a huge population posing a risk if they’re not in treatment."

Jeff Graham, executive director of Georgia Equality, called Price’s comments "incredibly disturbing" and evidence of the stigma that still exists around HIV.

"It’s very troubling to hear comments like that," he said. "It shows the amount of work that still needs to happen to educate elected officials on the reality of the lives of people living with HIV. I’m hoping Rep. Price would be open to sitting down, meeting with folks, hearing how those comments sound, and recognizing that’s not the direction we need to go in."

He notes that Price has in the past supported the full legalization of syringe exchanges throughout the state — an intervention that public health experts say would curb the spread of HIV.

In Tuesday’s exchange Worlsey did not directly respond to Price’s question regarding whether the state could legally quarantine HIV patients. Instead, the epidemiologist called for the expansion of public health programs that identify untreated Georgians with HIV in order to help those people get proper care.

Rep. Price did not immediately respond to STAT’s request for further comment.
