"A Girl And Her Room" In Four Parts
For her project a girl and her room, photographer Rania Matar took pictures of teenage girls in The U.S. and Lebanon in their rooms. She says of the series:
"This project is about teenage girls and young women at a transitional time of their lives, alone in the privacy of their own personal space and surroundings: their bedroom, a womb within the outside world."

In May, Matar published a book featuring the series. It's called "a girl and her room," and I have it and I like it so much. I think you would like it too. It's heavy and beautiful. The book contains the photographs from the series, two essays by other authors, and sometimes a line or two of text from each pictured girl. The photographs are so full of wonder but also hesitation, nervousness, uncertainty.

Matar has photographed so many girls in so many bedrooms, so many adolescents in their nests, looking at the camera or in mirrors or at the ceiling or at a book or looking forwards or backwards or both at the same time.

So many girls, so many rooms: Sidoine has purses hung on her wall in Belmont, MA, and between the purses she's pasted logos like Sephora, Hollister, Zara, Abercrombie. Rocio in Dorchestor, MA, is small and pregnant, posing between a True Blood poster and a photograph of Rocio with her friends. Reem and Raneia share a small room with pink walls in the West Bank, and their bed stretches from wall-to-wall and is draped in a neon green comforter, and one plays a violin and the other holds a violin, ready to smile or not.
Andrea, Beirut, Lebanon 2010
Art curator Susan L. Stoops wrote of the series: "A Girl in Her Room is a powerful statement about the persistence of Western ideals of beauty and the proliferation of media images and commercial products directed at young women and their insecurities — "Am I beautiful?" "Am I loved? Who are my friends? Who are my role models?"
Yes. This.

When I returned home from my first year of boarding school, I returned to a room decorated for the girl I used to be and I felt ashamed of it, retrospectively embarrassed for the 10th-grader who'd plastered her closet in pictures of Jared Leto and Claire Danes, encircled the top of her walls in Absolut Vodka ads and created a dancing parade of Delia*s models over her bed.

When I'd moved into my dorm at boarding school I'd brought that girl with me, and her Leonardo DiCaprio shrine lasted just about as long as the haircut I'd arrived with because my best friend informed me immediately that my decor was too "teeny-bopper." He was right. But it wasn't just what he'd said, either, it was about me, too: I was growing up, getting serious about things like poetry and the future, and now I needed to be surrounded by artsy black-and-white postcards and artsy black-and-white photographs of my friends/muses. I needed to be surrounded by things that were real, not things that were fake. I needed to figure out how to tell the difference.

And when he'd said that, it reminded me of what Angela Chase said about dying her hair red in the first episode of My So-Called Life — — "When Rayanne said my hair was holding me back, she wasn't just talking about my hair. She was talking about my life."
He wasn't just talking about my room, he was talking about my life.
Stephanie, Beirut, Lebanon 2010
To me, my room has always been my life. I've always been an introvert, a reader and a writer, which means I spend a lot of time in my room alone, and I like to look at things that inspire and excite me — poems, photos, pages from 'zines, contact sheets, collages, birthday cards, things I've collected along the way from the people I love.
Dima, Beirut, Lebanon 2010
As a teenager, though, I marked my territory by filling every inch of available wallspace with seemingly everything I'd ever enjoyed looking at, ever: an impressive collection of Airwalk advertisements starring Jenny McCarthy, a poster from the last school play I'd been in, photographs from middle school graduation, oasis stickers, CK One ads, a muppets poster, old photos of my parents, picture-strips from the photobooth at Cedar Point.
Brianna, Winchester, MA 2009
Sometimes I think my room still looks like the room of a teenager. When you're an adult you have all kinds of agency and can go wherever you want so there becomes this stigma of preferring to stay right where you are. Here I am, though.
Raina Matar was born and raised in Lebanon and moved to the U.S in 1984. Most of her work, like her first book Ordinary Lives, focuses on women and children in the Middle East. She hopes to "give a voice to people who have been forgotten or misunderstood." Matar lives in Massachusetts, teaches documentary photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and spends summers in Lebanon, teaching photography to girls in refugee camps there.
Nohad, Bourj al Barajneh Palestinian Refugee Camp, Beirut, Lebanon 2010
Matar has four children. She started photographing her daughters and their friends after being fascinated by their transition from girlhood into adulthood — "the adult personality shaping up, and the self-consciousness now replacing the carefree world they had known and lived in so far."
Anna F, Winchester, MA 2009
She noticed how self-conscious the girls were around each other and so began asking to photograph them alone, in a location of their choosing. Many chose their rooms: "I realized that was the nexus of a project. The room was a metaphor, an extension of the girl, but also the girl seemed to be a part of the room, to fit in, just like everything else in the room."
Herminee, Dekwaneh, Lebanon 2010
First she photographed girls in the U.S.: "I was discovering a person on the cusp on becoming an adult, but desperately holding on to the child she had barely outgrown, a person on the edge between two worlds, trying to come to terms with this transitional time in her life and to adjust to the person she was turning into."
Izzy, Brookline, MA 2011
Then she decided to take the project to the "two worlds I experienced myself as a teen and a young twenty-year old: the United States and the Middle East." It personalized the project for her, and she "became fascinated with the similar issues girls at that age face, regardless of culture, religion, and background, as they learn to deal with all the pressures that arise as they become consciously aware of the surrounding world, wherever this may be."
Christilla, Rabieh, Lebanon 2010
The first thing I do if you invite me over is investigate your bedroom: your books, photographs, the items on your dresser, if you have one. I love bedrooms, especially the ones with lots to look at. I envy my friends with spare, minimalist bedrooms where everything is hidden and neat, just like it was at IKEA, and all the photos are framed and not tacked onto that slab of corkboard I've been carting from apartment to apartment for fifteen years. But I also wish, when I enter their rooms, that there was more to see.
I'm just obsessed with rooms. I have a tumblr I made just for keeping track of rooms I like.
"When I photograph the girls, almost in all instances, I forget that I am not one of them, as if I am instantly thrown back in time," Matar told PhotoEye in a recent interview. "Then I pass a mirror and it is a call back to reality for me."
Helen Mei, Roxbury, MA 2010
A Girl and Her Room is currently being exhibited in Germany at the Leica Gallery in Solms, where it will remain for the remainder of the month. In the fall and winter, there will be exhibitions in Boston, Atlanta, Portland and Daytona Beach.

Exactly my thought.
this was beautiful and fantastic, thank you.
Thanks for posting this, it's beautiful. A bedroom is a lot more profound than we think, in lots of ways.
Oh I love this so much.
"When you're an adult you have all kinds of agency and can go wherever you want so there becomes this stigma of preferring to stay right where you are."
Exactly this! This year I got a room of my own for the first time and I never really bothered to make it mine — there are no decorations, etc. and it is rarely in anything less than a state of utter chaos, because this was a Sign that I was going out and doing things and taking advantage of my newfound autonomy. But next year, next year I'll make my (new) room my space again.
This is awesome, in the literal sense of the word.
I love this! It's a great theme that I've been wanting to explore myself for a while. It's fascinating how much a room says about a person, and to see how we decorate our rooms.

So I'm almost done remodeling the condo I'm moving into, and this made me even more excited for when I get to move everything in and decorate it all. #1 thing I'm excited about: bedroom won't have boring white apartment walls yaaaaay! :D
i love this so much. if i meet someone, i don't really feel like i know them until i've at least seen their house. people can tell you anything they want about themselves, but the things they surround them with sometimes seem truer.
I saw this exhibition in Phnom Penh last November and I loved it! There were so many photos and they were unframed, just up the walls of a staircase in a hotel. It was one of the best photography exhibitions I've seen in a while. Yay for it being here!
I think its slowly been building for a while, but this has indeed eased me into tearing down the ads and posters of my childhood room in my parents house. I was v. hesitant before, but it feels like time now, like Ive evolved passed that that version of myself. And also its suuuper hard to spot bugs on your walls.

Yes! Thankyou for sharing this. So fascinating and tender. I recently took down my teenage wall-sized corkboard, to make space for enormous bookshelves – whose contents I firmly believe are the grown-up equivalent of a huge collage of all my interests. To preserve all that wonderful stuff I've been scrapbooking it in self-adhesive albums, so my teenage bedroom will always survive in a little corner of whatever else is going on in my life.
Big love for the fact that she's LEBANESE. Like meeee.

Nah, Lebanese
I feeeeel that.
I love this I would love it to go global. Like, it's basically MA and Lebanon so I would love to see all of the us and ze world.

Habibi!! There are a lot of Lebanese-American women out there like Catherine and Elizabeth Keener! (Lebanese and Irish mix, which is hot! I'm a Greek-Leb mix). I don't know about you, but I had tears in my eyes seeing the girls in the camp. Mostly because they look happy and comfortable in their rooms. I'll buy the book to show my nieces and to support Rania. It's such a positive thing in a world full of heartache and tragedy.
Habibi!
I know, and it's great to see something so feminist coming out of Lebanon that's just for women, especially as it portrays younger girls. I am Lebanese/British and a bit American too… I know some of these women but not a whole lot of them, in terms of literature and the arts xx <3
It warms my heart! I'm going to go eat some hummus now…My parents were born here and we were raised in New England, but we always had the culture and history in our lives. This book has reawakened my memories of being a young girl with the whole world ahead of me. Terrifying and exciting at the same time. I love the expression on each girl's face. I may have to head back to Boston to see the exhibit.

"As a teenager, though, I marked my territory by filling every inch of available wallspace with seemingly everything I'd ever enjoyed looking at, ever: …"
after i moved out of my parents' house, they had my room repainted. the painter said he'd never seen so many pushpin holes in one room before. (guess i got the poster putty memo too late?) i can't remember why it seemed so incredibly important for there to be visual information on every inch of wallspace. magazine pages, photos of friends, posters of bands, cool eye makeup… one big collage.
Love it! My bedroom from when I was a fifteen year old remains untouched. I moved out at 15 and nothing has changed. It's definately a mind fuck to visit it. So many emotions plastered all over the walls.
This is lovely. I'm quite fascinated by bedrooms, as well; a couple years ago I wrote a creative nonfiction piece on the six or so bedrooms my sister and I have shared over the years.
I've always been jealous of people who have managed to decorate their walls and personalise their room – even if that means they've plastered their walls with posters ripped from Girlfriend magazine, which I've never been interested in doing. The only impression of me that you'd get from my room is that I'm something of a hoarder, since I have piles of stuff all over the floor. I'm not really a hoarder, it's just that I have a few spaces that I like to keep perfectly tidy – my bookshelf, dressing table and my desk – since I can never get the whole thing tidy. So everything else just goes on the floor.
I'm obsessed with this. I am so obsessed with rooms and spaces and things and nick-nacks and momentos and things that should be trash. I want to keep all the things and pin them to the wall and hang them from little bits of string and just stare at them all day. So that is what I do, basically.
I'm absolutely in love with this project.
The comparison is very impressive. Love it.

A new study published in the March/April 2008 issue of the journal Child Development finds that family wealth might partly explain differences in test scores in school-age children. The study, conducted by researchers at New York University, also found that family wealth is positively associated with parenting behavior, home environment, and children's self-esteem.
Prior research has documented the association between children's cognitive achievement and the socioeconomic status of their parents as measured by education level, occupation, and income. Many of these studies focused on the effect of poverty--defined by family income--on children's achievement, but household wealth (i.e., net worth) has received little attention.
This new study used new methods, including data from a new national study (the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and its Child Development Supplement). It explored many functional forms and sources of wealth, looking at different mediating pathways of wealth from distinct sources, and analyzing how wealth affects children's cognitive achievement at different stages of childhood.
The researchers found a marked disparity in family wealth between Black and White families with young children, with White families owning more than 10 times as many assets as Black families. The study found that family wealth had a stronger association with cognitive achievement of school-aged children than that of preschoolers, and a stronger association with school-aged children's math than with their reading scores.
Family wealth accumulated from different sources also was found to have a distinct influence on children at different developmental stages. Liquid assets, particularly holdings in stocks or mutual funds, were positively associated with school-aged children's test scores. Family wealth was associated with a higher quality home environment, better parenting behavior, and children's private school attendance.
The researchers suggest that the stronger impact of wealth on school-aged children may be because school-aged children benefit more from family wealth that is spent on educational resources that require substantial financial investment, such as private schools, extracurricular activities, and cultural experiences. Furthermore, older children may be more conscious of differences in wealth relative to their peers as they are exhibited in the quality of the learning environment, possessions, and the type of neighborhood where children live. These differences may influence their self-esteem and aspirations, which in turn are positively associated with their school performance.
"While wealth may help smooth consumption on a more short-term basis, the presence of wealth over time in a family (or extended family) may have a stronger impact of engendering a sense of economic security, future orientation, and the ability to take risks among all family members which, in turn, positively affect child development," according to W. Jean Yeung, professor of sociology at New York University and the lead author of the study.
Despite the marked disparity in wealth between Black and White families, the study found little evidence that wealth by itself explains the test score gaps between Black and White children. Those gaps were found to become less meaningful when child and family demographic characteristics and parents' income, education, and occupation were held constant. "Although wealth may not have a substantial short-term benefit in narrowing the Black-White achievement gap among young children, allowing and encouraging low-income families to accumulate wealth may improve family dynamics and foster a forward-looking attitude that may benefit children's development in the long run," said Yeung. "The financial effects of wealth would likely be observed later in life when school financing becomes an issue."

School revises parking environmental report
By Benjamin Most on February 10, 2016
The school compiled a revised Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) Feb. 4 for the proposed Upper School parking garage construction project after reviewing documents at the request of City Council Member Paul Krekorian.
Krekorian, who represents Studio City and North Hollywood residents, requested that Harvard-Westlake submit a new geotechnical and soils report and get a third-party review of the traffic study.
The project, recently renamed the Parking, Safety and Athletic Improvement Plan, was proposed in 2013. The school aims to construct a parking garage on unused land it owns across the street from the Upper School campus and build an athletic field on top of the structure.
The parking garage would increase student safety by providing a pedestrian bridge from the garage to the campus so students would not have to cross Coldwater Canyon Drive. Currently, many students park in nearby neighborhoods and walk up and down the busy thoroughfare.
Earlier versions of both the geotechnical and soils report and the traffic study were included in the initial DEIR, which was released for public comment in late 2014.
"During this process, many community members and organizations submitted comments on the project, which shed light on critical shortcomings in the DEIR," Krekorian wrote in an email to local residents. "Based on the comments, as well as my own review of the project, I have asked the Director of the Los Planning to update and recirculate the DEIR."
The school's revised report contains additional research that confirms the accuracy of the initial reports, which stated that the project would be structurally sound and would not generate significant additional traffic, Vice President John Amato said.
The report has three new documents: a site plan with geologic cross-section images, a sheet with data on Coldwater Canyon traffic and a comment letter from the Federation of Hillside and Canyon Associations explaining concerns about the urbanization and development of a rural patch of land with existing wildlife.
To prepare the new geotechnical and soils report, the school enlisted help from a geotechnical firm and a hillside geologist, Amato said.
"Harvard-Westlake retained one of the most preeminent geotechnical firms to prepare a new geotechnical report," Amato said. "In addition, Harvard-Westlake retained one of the leading hillside geologists to conduct a review of the report. The City's Department of Building and Safety has thoroughly reviewed and approved this report."
In order to substantiate the results of the original traffic report, which had stated that the project would not significantly increase traffic, the school contacted a traffic engineering firm, Amato said.
"Harvard-Westlake retained a reputable traffic engineering firm to review the original report, and they concluded that the original traffic report was accurate and that both its methodology and conclusion were correct," Amato said. "[Once completed], the project will not generate any new vehicular trips whatsoever."
The community has 45 days to comment on the report after its re-release. After this period, Harvard-Westlake will be able to respond to comments, and the Department of City Planning will create a final Environmental Impact Report for the project.
Citizens can offer input on the new DEIR through February and early March by calling Krekorian's planning and land use director Karo Torossian at (213) 473-7002.
Some local residents protested the previous DEIR because they said the construction project would destroy wildlife habitat and create additional traffic. Some said that the garage was not necessary.
Amato said that revising the DEIR has not "gotten in the way of plans."
"Harvard-Westlake did a substantial amount of additional work, but it is well worth it to ensure that our neighbors and the community that travels Coldwater Canyon understand that the project is safe and will not generate any new trips," Amato said.

GREENFIELD — Stone Soup Cafe will host its second annual Pick-Your-Own Film Festival, with a virtual discussion to be held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, to honor the life and legacy of the iconic civil rights leader.
Anyone is invited to watch any or all of the six free streaming movies selected for the event and participate in a Zoom conservation at 6:30 p.m. on Monday to share their feelings about the films, which share a general theme of institutionalized racism within the American criminal justice system. People can register in advance for the discussion at bit.ly/3fixk2w.
Kirsten Levitt, executive director of Stone Soup Cafe, said last year's online discussion generated "a widening of awareness as to how deep and widespread racism is and how bias makes us behave in very … inhumane manners."
"I think it's important for us to understand (King's) work, understand the courage it takes to conduct that work in a nonviolent way," she said. "All of the work that MLK did, all of the words that he spoke, continue to be relevant in the current times."
Stone Soup Cafe is a pay-what-you-can lunch served by volunteers at All Souls Church in downtown Greenfield every Saturday afternoon.
The first selected movie is "Just Mercy," a 2019 film based on the true story of Harvard-educated civil rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson (played by Michael B. Jordan), who in 1989 relocated to Alabama to advocate for the poor. He takes up the case of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), who was wrongly convicted of murder a year earlier, taking it all the way to the Supreme Court of Alabama. The film is available to rent for $4 on various streaming platforms.
The other works include "My Name Is Pauli Murray," a 2021 documentary (available for free on Amazon Prime) about the non-binary Black lawyer, activist, poet and priest whose ideas influenced Ruth Bader Ginsburg's fight for gender equality and Thurgood Marshall's civil rights arguments; and "If Beale Street Could Talk," a 2018 film (on Hulu) based on James Baldwin's novel about a pregnant woman who fights to free her fiance, who is in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
There is one Netflix miniseries, "When They See Us," which is about the true story of the Central Park Five, teenage boys from Harlem accused of a brutal attack. The other films are "The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson," a Netflix documentary that investigates a Black gay rights activist's 1992 murder; and "The Hate U Give," a 2018 Hulu film about a young student who lives in a poor, mostly Black neighborhood and attends a wealthy, mostly white prep school only for the uneasy balance between these worlds to be shattered when she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend at the hands of police.
Levitt said the virtual discussion will be moderated by Jansyn Thaw, the cafe's director of programs and marketing. Levitt said last year's conversation consisted of eight to 10 participants, and she hopes to at least double that number this time around.
"It's totally open to however many show up," she said.
Levitt, who has a biracial child, said she grew up in New York City and lived in the Cleveland area for more than 10 years before moving to Franklin County, where she was surprised by the area's lack of racial diversity.
"My life has always been filled with diverse cultures and viewpoints. I come from a place where diversity is normal and to be in a place where it is so white, even as a white person, it's shocking," she said, adding that despite their progressive image, county residents often seem unaware of the institutionalized racism in the nation. "We live in a sea of white supremacy."

Q: Getting an Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined when using Yup.string.test() for a validation. Using Formik and Yup I'm trying to implement a third party validation inside a useFormik && Yup validation, but I'm getting a Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'isValidIBAN')the moment I'm trying to start typing something on the input. It  breaks on the Yup.test() function,  I don't know what I 'm doing wrong.
This is my existing code.

import { useFormik } from 'formik'
import * as Yup from 'yup'

import ibantools, { electronicFormatIBAN } from 'ibantools'

function BankDetails({}: BankDetailsProps) {

// ommitted code

const formik = useFormik({
    initialValues: {
      bankAccountNumber: '',
      bicNumber: '',
      policyNumber: '',
    },
    validationSchema: Yup.object({
      bankAccountNumber: Yup.string()
        .transform(function (value) {
          if (!this.isType(value)) return value
          return electronicFormatIBAN(value). // Converts the user input into a valid IBAN
        })
        .test({
          name: 'is-valid-iban',
          message: t('Forms.BankDetails.Errors.InvalidIBAN'),
          exclusive: true,
          // @ts-ignore
          test: (value) => ibantools.isValidIBAN(value),  // TESTS that user input is a valid IBAN  [ERROR]: Typerror here. Uncaught in Promise. Cannot read promerty of undefined reading
          // console.log(value, 'inside iban')
        })

      })
    })
  }

  return {
          <form className="flex flex-col pt-4">
        <div>
          <Label htmlFor="bankAccountNumber" className="mt-2">
            {t('Forms.BankDetails.IBANLabel')}
          </Label>
          <Input
            kind="text"
            error={formik.errors.bankAccountNumber}
            name="bankAccountNumber"
            value={formik.values.bankAccountNumber}
            touched={formik.touched.bankAccountNumber}
            onChange={formik.handleChange}
            onBlur={formik.handleBlur}
          />
        </div>
    </form>
  }

What I would like is to

*

*get user input

*convert it into a valid iban using electronicFormatIBAN(value)

*test that it is a valid iban with isValidIBAN() inside the Yup.test()

*return that string

A: I just solved the issue by removing the ibantools from this call
      .test({
          name: 'is-valid-iban',
          message: t('Forms.BankDetails.Errors.InvalidIBAN'),
          exclusive: true,
          // @ts-ignore
          test: (value) => ibantools.isValidIBAN(value), // [NOTE] remove ibantools from here
          // console.log(value, 'inside iban')
        })

Now just doing it liek this and it works
        .test({
          name: 'is-valid-iban',
          message: t('Forms.BankDetails.Errors.InvalidIBAN'),
          exclusive: true,
          // @ts-ignore
          test: (value) => isValidIBAN(value),
        })

However how come ibantools is not available inside that .test() context but isValidIBAN is ??

Revealing traces of a former Sydney

Woollahra Station – Woollahra, NSW
By Michael Wayne on November 26, 2016 | 4 Comments
If a train passes in Woollahra, does it make a sound? And more importantly, will there be anyone around to hear it?
If you're waiting for a train in the affluent east Sydney suburb of Woollahra, be thankful for this bench. You'll be waiting awhile.
This park provides a view of what would have been the only open-air station on Sydney's Eastern Suburbs train line. In fact, the park itself should at this point be a flight of stairs carrying the townsfolk of Woollahra down to the station, that gateway to the world. So what happened?
It could be that tired old story: greedy developers, community action, triumph of the little people over big business and nasty ol' gubment etc. Let's find a different way to tell it.
A train line for Sydney's eastern suburbs had been on the cards from the turn of the 20th century. John Job Crew Bradfield, in his infinite public transport wisdom, knew that the people out there trapped between the leviathan and the Tasman would need a cheap, easy escape.
The eastern suburbs don't do cheap, don't you know, and they certainly have no reason to escape.
By the time the line was just about complete in the late 1970s (after several subterranean attempts), opposition to a train station in Woollahra had congealed into a hardened crust. There would be no breaking it.
The red rattlers would ferry in all the scum of the west, they said, not to mention all those other undesirables. Crime would increase, and why should they have to have any crime? Then there was the noise: the ambience in their pool rooms might be disturbed.
People power won out, and the government of the day relented, but not before a final act of appeasement: the line was fitted with futuristic sleeper technology that made Woollahra's stretch of track the quietest in the country. It's true; I missed three trains going past while I was waiting to get a good picture just because I hadn't heard them.
I could hear the screams of bratty rich kids from the school up the road, and the late-70s NSW Government's timid tones of appeasement echoed by wealthy parents. There's no tech to block that out.
In the years since the station was completed, abandoned and forgotten, Woollahra has – through the character of its residents – transformed itself into a suburb you wouldn't want to catch a train to anyway. I mean, unless you wanted to see the uh…well, there's the…er, you, uh…wait, what's so great about Woollahra again?

Shea's Creek/Alexandra Canal – Mascot, St Peters, Alexandria NSW
By Michael Wayne on May 17, 2012 | 3 Comments
Cooks River
You're looking at Sydney's most polluted waterway. And I thought Rhodes was bad.
The Botany Bay end of Alexandra Canal
In the late 1880s (it's always the 80s), someone envisaged a grand canal stretching from Botany Bay to Sydney Harbour. It would start at the Botany Bay end of the Cooks River, and lead all the way through the city before opening up at Circular Quay, thereby giving the Eastern Suburbs the island refuge from the great unwashed they've always wanted. To that end, I'm surprised it never happened.
Former Shea's Creek opening
Shea's Creek, a small offshoot of the Cooks River, was chosen as ground zero for the new tributary, which was supposed to act as an access route for barges to transport goods between the multitude of factories set up along the creek in the area. Factories including brickworks, tanneries and foundries. Factories that drained their runoff directly into the canal. A canal that is, according to the EPA, "the most severely contaminated canal in the southern hemisphere". So keen to pollute were the industrial warlords of yesteryear that they had to invent waterways to defile.
At the time the canal was constructed, Sydney's roads were a terrible mess completely unsuitable for transporting goods, making an aquatic access route more practical. Thankfully, Sydney's roads today…uh…they…they're pretty uh…let's get more canals happening.
So near and yet so far
Between 1887 and 1900, Shea's Creek was ripped up and turned into the canal. By 1895 it was looking unlikely that it would ever reach Sydney Harbour. The NSW Government had decided that as a sewer, the Shea's Creek Canal as it was known then was doing a good enough job as a carrier of stormwater and runoff, and that there probably wouldn't be a need to spend all those pounds carrying on with the project. Tenders were called again to complete the canal in 1905, but there were no takers.
Image courtesy Google Maps
The canal was renamed the Alexandra Canal in 1902, after the then-Queen Consort Alexandra. Coincidentally, the suburb that the canal ended in, Alexandria, was also named for her. I bet she was proud, too.
From a scream to a whimper
This is how it ends. The mighty canal winds down to a stormwater drain, which then continues to wind up through Alexandria before disappearing. Apparently, the cost of the already 4km canal was so prohibitive as to cancel the rest of the project. It might also have been that the powers that be were trying to save lives, for in creating the Alexandra Canal, they had also created…a bloodthirsty monster!
Sydney Morning Herald, 11 Dec 1903
Horsham Times, 13 Jun 1919
Adelaide Advertiser, 6 Nov 1922
Courier Mail, 15 May 1934
There have been several attempts since 1998 to clean up the canal, add cycleways (more cycleways!), cafes and restaurants, and generally make it a nice place to be.
As you can see, it hasn't happened yet. Maybe when the city's insane lust for cycleways finally stretches the canal to Sydney Harbour, that fantasy can be realised.

Past/Lives on Facebook


Joe Goodman has lived in different parts of Oakland—mainly East and West—for most of his 64 years. He remembers moving with his mom from Phoenix, Arizona, to Oakland's Fitchburg neighborhood in 1962. He remembers driving his cousin's Chevrolet in circles outside the Coliseum in the weeks following its opening. He remembers when the air "didn't seem too as bad to breathe in" when he was in his backyard or walking to a friend's house. And, most importantly, Goodman says, he remembers his life before he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Cancer has become the leading cause of death among residents in Alameda County, exceeding deaths from heart disease, according to county health department data released this spring. Lung, breast, prostate and colon cancers make up the majority of cancer deaths, and mortality rates in the county are highest among residents of East, West and North Oakland, as well as areas of Cherryland and Livermore in southern Alameda County. The American Cancer Society notes that 1 in 2 Californians born today will develop cancer during their lifetime, and 1 in 5 are expected to die of the disease.
But although cancer has supplanted heart disease as the county's leading cause of death, since 2010, the number of cancer deaths in Alameda County has been decreasing. Data from 2012‐2016—the most recent to be published by the California Department of Public Health this year—notes that in Alameda County, there were 11,472 deaths from cancer for an overall average adjusted rate of 143.3 cancer deaths per 100,000 people.
That's compared to the previous period of year 2006 to 2012, when the rate was 151.1 deaths per 100,000 people.
In Oakland specifically, lung and respiratory cancer deaths are the most common types of cancer leading to death, followed by prostate, breast and colon cancers. But the total number of deaths from nearly all kinds of cancers is going down. From 2000 to 2002, 2,123 cancer deaths were recorded in Oakland. From 2015 to 2017, that number dropped to 1,960.
Matt Beyers, an epidemiologist and geographic information system analyst at the Alameda County Health Department, said drops in heart disease deaths have contributed to a 1.5-year increase in life expectancy in Oakland. Additionally, the drop in cancer related deaths has led to an increase of 0.72 years in life expectancy.
"While we can see that cancer is now the leading cause of death in Alameda County and in Oakland, deaths from cancer are going down—heart disease has just reduced more," he said.
County health department officials said they can't pinpoint specific reasons why heart disease deaths are dropping locally, but information provided by the California Department of Public Health attributes statewide decreases in heart disease deaths to earlier detection of hypertension (a condition involving high blood pressure), tobacco-free initiatives and legislation aimed at making healthy eating easier.
Still, Tammy Lee, community epidemiologist at the Alameda County Health Department, said a person's or family's socioeconomic status is associated with differences in cancer incidence, diagnosis and mortality. "As neighborhood poverty increases, rates of cancer mortality—and many other health indicators—go up," Lee said.
Being low-income or living in a poor neighborhood can mean increased chronic stress, poorer access to healthy foods, increased availability or targeted marketing of alcohol and tobacco products, greater barriers to physical activity, and increased or disproportionate exposure to carcinogens, Lee added. "All of this can increase cancer risk or cancer risk factors like obesity," she said.
In East and West Oakland, residents are disproportionally burdened by poverty and inadequate access to quality health screening and care, according to the county health department. Research from the American Lung Association says this can further contribute to late cancer detection and fewer treatment options, meaning survival rates are lower than they could be.
While the association notes improvements in lung cancer incidence and death rates across the state, the group also notes that California lags behind other states in the number of accredited cancer screening centers, with especially low numbers available to those in lower income communities. The association ranks California 45th in the nation in screening center access.
For example, exposure to tobacco (through smoking and secondhand smoke) and to radon (a colorless and odorless gas that can seep into homes and buildings) are the two leading causes of lung cancer in California, said Dr. David Tom Cooke, at the University of California, Davis Medical Center. Additionally, Cooke said, family histories of lung cancer are a factor when determining an individual's risk or reason for developing cancer.
Environmental factors like air quality also likely play a significant role in California. The American Cancer Society of California cites toxic air contaminants as responsible for "most of the known airborne cancer risk in California," according to the group's website. Long-term exposures to some environmental pollutants likely increases the risk of cancer, according to the group's studies, but through routes that have not been well studied yet.
But publications from the California Cancer Registry, a program of the California Department of Public Health's that monitors cancer across the state, note that the percentage of cancers that can be attributed to the environment is "probably small," with most geographic differences in cancer rates seeming to result "more from the differences between people than from anything in their physical surroundings." Cigarette smoking is associated with more than 85 percent of all lung cancers in California, according to the group, as well as cancers of the bladder, mouth and throat, stomach and pancreas.
Diet is also a risk factor, with higher rates of cancers recorded in people who eat high-fat diets that are low in fresh fruits and vegetables. Powell says it's estimated that diet and tobacco together may account for approximately two out of every three cancer deaths.
In Oakland, air quality is a hot topic and a point of contention for many environmental groups, Goolsby says. East and West Oakland are both target areas for air quality and reduction emission programs implemented by the Bay Area Air Quality management District and the California Air Resources Board, and new programs aimed at improving the air are slated to increase heart and lung health for residents in those areas.
From 2015-2017, deaths from cancers supplanted those from heart disease, according to Alameda County Public Health Department data.

Q: What is the Chern class of the Kernel of a projection map after taking a blowup? Let $S:= \mathbb{CP}^1 \times \mathbb{CP}^1 $ and $\tilde{S}$ the blowup of $S$ at one point. Let $a_1, a_2$ be generators for the cohomology $H^*(S, \mathbb{Z})$ and let $a_1, a_2$ and $E$ be the generators of the cohomology $H^*(\tilde{S}, \mathbb{Z})$, where $E$ is the exceptional divisor. Let $\pi_2: \tilde{S}\rightarrow \mathbb{CP}^1$ be the projection onto the second factor.
$\textbf{Question:}$ What $c_1(Ker ~~d \pi_2)$? It has to be a linear combination of $a_1$, $a_2$ and $E$.
Here $c_1$ denotes the first Chern class and ``Ker'' means Kernel.

A: Edit: This version fixes some sloppiness in the original answer.
One way to do this is the following.
First note that if $p$ is a point in a smooth surface $X$, then $H^2(X-\{p\},\mathbf Z) = H^2(X, \mathbf Z)$ by a Mayer--Vietoris argument. Then by naturality of Chern classes, in order to calculate $c_1(V)$ for any vector bundle $V$ one can restrict $V$ to $X-\{p\}$ and work there.
Why would we want to jump through these hoops? The point is that for any $x \in \tilde{S}$ where the fibre of $\pi_2$ containing $x$ is smooth, the map $d \pi_2$ is a surjection. Now we can see geometrically where the singularities of fibres of $\pi_2$ are: in fact there is exactly one point $p$ on $S$ where the fibre is singular: namely, $p$ is the point of intersection of the two components of the fibre that contains $E$.
So let's consider the open subset $\tilde{S}-p$. Restricting to this set, we get an exact sequence of vector bundles
$$0 \rightarrow K \rightarrow T \tilde{S} \rightarrow \pi_2^*T \mathbf P^1 \rightarrow 0$$
where $K$ is the kernel of $d \pi_2$. This gives $c_1(K) = c_1(T \tilde{S}) -\pi_2^* c_1 (T \mathbf P^1)$. In terms of your generators, this gives $c_1(K)=(2a_1+2a_2-E)-2a_2=2a_1-E$.
This calculation took place on $\tilde{S}-p$, but by the argument at the beginning, the same result is true on $\tilde{S}$ itself.

Because Sometimes You Have to Let a Movie Stew
'Moonlight' Is One Of The Best Films Of 2016
This review originally appeared on SFist.com.
Moonlight is easily one of, if not the best, films I've seen this year. It crushed me, and made me remember just why I love the movies. That's something easily forgotten when you have to see as many mediocre movies every year as I do.
Directed by Barry Jenkins, whose lovely San Francisco-set Medicine for Melancholy came out over seven years ago, and based on a short play called In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue by Tarell Alvin McCraney, it's a three-act story centered on the life of Chiron, and his coming of age in a tough Miami neighborhood.
In the first act, he's known as Little (Alex Hibbert), one of a couple of derogatory names the bigger and meaner kids around him have labeled him with. One afternoon, as he's hiding out from those rock-throwing kids, he's befriended by a man named Juan (Mahershala Ali), who treats him kindly and welcomes him into the home he shares with his girlfriend, Theresa (Janelle Monae). Juan becomes the father figure Little so desperately needs, teaching him that only he, Chiron, can decide who he wants to be, and not those who are tossing out names.
But Juan is a crack dealer, and Little's mother (Naomie Harris) is an addict. She's also one of his customers. Little's quiet realization that these two things are true is one of the film's more devastating scenes, both because it's inherently heartbreaking, but also because it reveals one of the film's biggest strengths, that of breaking apart what might appear to be some pretty rotten stereotypes, and reminding the audience that these black lives are human lives. Not all people who do bad things are bad people.
In the film's second act, Chiron has taken back his name, and is now a painfully quiet, skinny, and deeply lonely teenager. The taunts from his classmates have grown more pointed; "faggot" is thrown about with abandon. The kids have also become more violent. And his mother has fallen further into addiction.
Ashton Sanders's portrayal of the teen Chiron is astounding. Watching him made my heart ache. He's as tall and skinny as a beanpole, but walks around hunched over, as if subliminally trying to shield himself from the blows that could come at any moment. He can barely look anyone in the eye, and, like his younger self, always seems to be holding back his words.
He has one friend, Kevin (Jharrel Jerome), the only kid who also had his back when he was younger. He possesses all the confidence Chiron lacks. One night they find themselves on the beach together, sharing a blunt and conversation that allows Chiron to finally express some of the pain that's been aching to come out. "I cry so much I could turn into drops," he confesses. The sexual encounter that follows is both unexpected and inevitable.
Two acts of violence end act two, and the Chiron of act three is the result of those acts. Trevante Rhodes plays the adult Chiron, who now goes by the name Black, a nickname that had been given to him by Kevin. But it's more than a nickname. "Black" is what much of the world may now see him as — that and only that —and that's a terrible truth with which to live.
Chiron's entire life is filled with so much pain and hardship that you can't help but feel an increasing sense of fear and tension that suddenly, things could go completely and tragically wrong. Imagine living with that fear every day of your life.
And while tense, the third act is also filled with the film's most beautiful and romantic moments. There's a scene in a diner, when a song is played on the jukebox, that has to be one of the most dizzingly romantic moments ever caught on film. It brought me to tears.
Barry Jenkins has made a movie that ranks up there with works by masters like Terrence Malick and Wong Kar-wai. It also brought to mind Richard Linklater's Boyhood, though Moonlight does it one better. It convinces us, through performance alone (because really, none of the actors looks all that much alike) that this is indeed the same Chiron, at every age.
I also loved how Jenkins's camera circles around characters, most memorably when a school bully clears through a crowd, and we are reluctantly drawn into a circle to witness a fight. His use of color to paint a mood is all the more impressive knowing the film was shot digitally. And the soundtrack, which includes classical, hip-hop, and classic R&B, is perfect.
But ultimately what most impressed me about Moonlight was how a movie so quiet, so subtle, and so understated, could slay me so hard.

Our other blog: ending prison gerrymandering
Home Page > Blog > How much do incarcerated people earn? > Sources appendix
State and federal prison wage policies and sourcing information
This table details pay scales and wage policies that apply to incarcerated people working in state and federal prisons, along with sourcing information available as of April 10, 2017. It was originally published as an appendix to the April 10, 2017 blog post "How much do incarcerated people earn in each state?" We welcome additional or updated information.
For this table, prison work assignments are divided into two broad categories. "Regular jobs" include all jobs operated and paid for by state correctional agencies, except for industry jobs. Most regular jobs support the institutions through custodial, maintenance, laundry, grounds keeping, and food service work, although they vary widely. Work camps, commissary jobs, and other less common or off-site jobs are also included in this category for this table, although it should be noted they are often paid higher wages than more common prison jobs. "Jobs in state-owned businesses" include assignments producing goods and services that are sold to government and non-profit agencies. They are often referred to as "Correctional Industries" jobs. Excluded from this table are jobs working in private industries (through the PIE program) and jobs paid for by community or other state employers, such as highway work or other community work release jobs.
