The mid-life crisis... it's real
BODY:
A new study out of the University of Greenwich has found that nearly one in four people aged 40 to 59 do go through an emotional upheaval at this time of life. Psychology senior lecturer Dr Oliver Robinson talks to Kathryn about why people struggle at this time of their lives, and why he believes there's a silver lining.
EXTENDED BODY:
We’ve all heard of it. It's usually caused by angst over aging, career progression or relationships and leads to the purchase of a sports car or motorbike or starting an affair – so the cliché goes.
But nearly one in four people aged 40 to 59 do go through an emotional upheaval at this time of life, a new study has found.
Psychology senior lecturer Dr Oliver Robinson and his colleagues at the University of Greenwich interviewed more than 900 people aged 20 and over. The good news – he says – is that there is an upside to the midlife crisis. The bad news? Many older people are prone to the late-life crisis. Oh, and there's also quarter-life crisis.
Oliver Robinson talks with Kathryn Ryan about why people struggle in mid-life and reveals the silver lining.
Read an edited snapshot of the conversation:
Does [the mid-life crisis] take a predictable form?
Oliver Robinson: For women and for men, the prevalence of mid-life crisis is really rather similar. I think there’s a stereotype that men tend to go through it more than women, but actually women slightly more than men report them. And they relate to some of the things that we may intuitively associate with that. In the UK, the average age for divorce is early 40s and indeed when women describe midlife crisis, they describe often an event surrounding a divorce or break-up. For men it often revolves around the increasing pressure of work and feeling like you’re in a job that you don’t actually want to be in, but you’ve progressed up the ladder and it’s too late to jump off.
What is typically the way people respond or experience this?
Oliver Robinson: The reason why this press release went out and got global coverage was that we found this silver lining to crisis – that people have an emotionally difficult time during it, but… [There was] a very robust finding that people who reported they were currently going through a mid-life crisis were particularly curious about all kinds of things – curious about themselves, other people, the world, things they were hearing and seeing, about knowledge. And it was almost as though the crisis had somehow piqued their curiosity, even though it was a difficult time. So we see that as the silver lining of midlife crisis – it makes you open to new things again.
What is the secret to navigating it, then? Is it completely about your mind set?
Oliver Robinson: It certainly is normal and it certainly isn’t anything to run away from. It’s about the very natural tendency in mid-life to want novelty again. Because, as human beings, we don’t tend to change bit by bit. We tend to kind of get in a rut, get in a routine, and then suddenly feel the urge for newness and for change again. Crisis is all about that. It’s sort of a time of change. Grasping things you used to be interested in again and grasping new things that you’ve never done before. So I think there are healthy and unhealthy reactions to that. The unhealthy reaction would be something like an affair – that’s a way of experiencing novelty, but it can be in a way which destroys the most important parts of your life. My view is that the healthy way of moving through it is to explore in a way which is about keeping the key commitments of your life and the things that you hold most dear intact, but then opening up again, becoming young again, opening up to fun, silly, new, unpredictable things which… Maybe it’s outside of your work or your relationship. What one definitely doesn’t want to do is just to close up and not follow that exploratory instinct. Follow it, but follow it in a way where you’re going to have fun and grow.

One of its founders is Yvonne van Amerongen visited New Zealand
EXTENDED BODY:
Many people with severe dementia spend their last months and years in a hospital environment which bears little connection to the lives they used to lead. But at 'Hogeweyk' near Amsterdam, advanced dementia patients live inside a village that has a supermarket, hair salon, gallery, theatre and restaurants.
But at a specially designed village near Amsterdam, advanced dementia patients live in apartments inside a village that has a supermarket, hair salon, gallery, theatre and restaurants.
Hogeweyk has everything that would make people believe they are in a normal environment – but it has only one entry and exit that connects to the outside world.
The apartments are even furnished to suit the style and period the client closely identifies with – cosy, upmarket, Indonesian style (for those who lived in the former colony), 1950s or modern and urban.
The cutting-edge facility is all about creating normalcy for its occupants and all the staff – including the supermarket workers and hairdressers – are trained to deal with dementia patients.
Kathryn Ryan talks with one of the founders of Hogeweyk, Yvonne van Amerongen, who recently visited New Zealand.
Read an edited snapshot of the conversation:
Yvonne van Amerongen: I was one of the members of the management team of a very traditional nursing home… In 1992 we said to each other ‘What we are offering people living with a severe dementia is not what we would like for our parents or ourselves or our friends. We often said that to ourselves after coffee... and we’d just go on with daily work as usual and nothing changed. So at that time our managing director said ‘We have to sit down and talk about this because we don’t feel we have a good product for people that live with us, but we do it all the time’.
So we sat down one day. I always tell people we sat down somewhere in a restaurant, ten in the morning till ten in the evening, and at the end of the day we knew what we were going to do. We didn’t know how we were going to do it, but we did know, well, what it should be. What we have now in the Netherlands is what we were thinking about at that time.
What was the basic of the model? A benevolent neighbourhood? A removal of dangers and real-world complications?
Yvonne van Amerongen: No, the basic is that people with dementia have confusion in their brain because of dementia, but in an institute in a traditional nursing home, what they meet is more confusion. Because we say to them ‘This is where you live’, but it doesn’t look, it doesn’t smell, it doesn’t taste like home. It doesn’t look like a place to live, it looks like a hospital. It feels like a hospital.
And people with dementia do not understand that. Well, you can explain. It’ll last five minutes or half an hour, maybe two hours. But then that question will be there again. And we said people with severe dementia need to recognise their environment as a normal place to be. And we said that’s not what we’re offering them, so we should offer the people that live with us a normal life, a normal environment. And that’s the start.
Yes, but what kind of normal? How did you design something that would be normal for people with severe dementia?
Yvonne van Amerongen: It’s normal as people over the age of 84 in the Netherlands would have... We built Hogeweyk in the tradition of our region. So when people from New Zealand come over they wouldn’t recognise it as normal houses, no, because it’s Dutch. What we offer these people are normal houses with a front door, living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, some place to sit outside. A normal house where normal things happen – all meals are prepared according to how you like your meals… you have a birthday party, you watch television, the house is cleaned, the laundry is done – very normal daily things.

Why the chronological feed is dying, and tech companies are increasingly dictating what people consume and when. Since we all started using the internet, the information we've got through twitter, facebook, Instagram, blogs and other sites is usually chronological, it comes in a feed and we tend to see the most recent posts at the top. But that kind of time based sorting is on its way out in favour of the curated feed. The problem is, who is curating it?

White House correspondent Mark Landler on Obama, Clinton, Sanders and Trump
BODY:
The secret rivalry between US President Barack Obama and his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. We talk to Mark Landler, the White House Correspondent for the New York Times about his book, Alter Egos: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Twilight Struggle Over American Power.
EXTENDED BODY:
According to New York Times White House correspondent Mark Landler, two words describe the relationship between US president Barack Obama and his former Secretary of State (who now wants his job)… it’s complicated.
It is never easy when formal rivals join the same team, and Landler saw the tension first-hand while covering the State Department during Clinton's time as Secretary of State.
In his new book Alter Egos: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Twilight Struggle Over American Power Landler reveals how the president and his chief diplomat – whose views of America's role in the world are often opposing - worked together.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation:
Why did Obama offer Hillary Clinton this job and why did she take it?
Mark Landler: Well, he had a couple of reasons. One was when he was elected, if you remember, the country was in the midst of a fairly terrible financial crisis and a recession that was verging on a depression. And he knew that he was going to have very little time in his first year, at least, to devote to foreign policy and travelling the world. He had also come in after eight years of George W Bush when our relationships with many of our allies and other countries were at a really low point.
So he was looking for a very high-visibility person who had her own stature, in this case Hillary Clinton, to basically go around the world and mend a lot of fences and rebuild the US's reputation at a time when he really couldn’t do it himself because he was so preoccupied at home. And then beyond that, by naming his chief political rival as a member of his own cabinet, he effectively took her out of the mix for a challenge four years later. She would have been a very major opposition voice in his own party had he left her in the senate.
So there was sort of a political reason and a strategic reason. On her part I think it was as simple as she still had ambitions for higher office and he thought that being Secretary of State would remove her from the political fray, but give her a very high-profile position. I think the prospect of going back to the Senate after an unsuccessful presidential bid has, generally, been an unhappy thing for people who’ve done it. John McCain went back after losing to Barack Obama in 2008 and, by all accounts, had a very rough few years.
There were colourful moments, with the two of them working together. Can you tell us what happened at the Copenhagen Climate Summit?
Mark Landler: This was an occasion in December 2009… and this meeting went very badly. There was a great disagreement. The developing economies – China, India, South Africa – were just simply not willing to make the kind of commitments that Europe and the US were seeking from them. So [Hillary]Clinton had gone rather reluctantly to this meeting and as soon as he got there she realised it was a disaster. So she called back to the White House and asked President Obama to get on a plane and come.
His aides didn’t want him to go, because they thought it was a loser and they basically thought he was diverting himself from important work at home. Be he flew out and got there, and the two of them holed up in a coffee shop and she briefed him on what was going on.
Then he decided that the thing to do was to confront these developing economies directly. As it happened, they were all meeting in a conference room down a long hallway. They didn't want the US to be in the room, in fact, they had locked the door and were meeting themselves.
[So] Clinton and the president marched off down in the direction of that conference room. When they got there a Chinese security agent was waving them away. And Obama basically just gate-crashed, walked right into the room in the middle of the meeting and said to the Prime Minister of China “Mr Wen, can we talk?”
And the two of them sat down and over the course of 45 minutes negotiated an agreement that in hindsight looked rather weak, but at least it saved this summit meeting from total collapse… It was an important moment for the two of them because it was the first time they’d really been in the trenches together working on a major diplomatic problem. And I think they emerged from this experience with more trust in each other and more of an appreciation of each other’s personal style.
Why do so many voters dislike Hillary Clinton?
Mark Landler: It's partly the accumulation of 25 years of negative stories about her. It’s partly the persistent feeling that she isn’t quite on the level. It’s partly the fact that she has racked up a huge amount of money spending to banks like Goldman Sachs. It’s partly the recent scandal you may have heard about involving her email account, where she did all her email on a personal account in a server that she housed in the basement of her home in New York, rather than the State Department system – which fuels the suspicion on the part of many people that she’s not quite transparent and trustworthy.
These are issues that she’s wrestled with as long as she’s been a public figure – so we’re talking 20 or 25 years.
Under the onslaught of negative advertising and criticism from either Bernie Sanders, or certainly Donald Trump, in the coming months it constantly drives home these messages. The only thing she has going for her is that Donald Trump has even higher unfavourables than she does.

From Slavery to Steelpan – NZ's Freedom Music
BODY:
Trinidad and Tobago are the birthplace of the steelpan with origins in the drumming traditions from Africa - originally developed to help tolerate the inhumane practices of slavery in the 1700s. NZ's first Caribbean Orchestra are busting out the colour and sounds. Lynda Chanwai-Earle meets the band, gets taught steelpan drumming and joins them at their Carnival Night in Auckland .
EXTENDED BODY:
"You beat steelpan, you don't beat up steelpan" - Camille Nakhid
Aotearoa's first Caribbean steelpan orchestra ''beat out'' the sound and colour with their 6th Carnival Night.
The Caribbeanz Southern Stars Steelband performed at the Fickling Centre in Mt Albert with lots of homemade rum punch, Carib cuisine favourites like slow cooked chicken, limbo dancing, mas' bands and much more.
People come from as far as Northland and Hamilton to celebrate their Carnival Nights and awards go to the most flamboyant costumes.
Steelpan music history
Camille Nakhid is an associate professor at Auckland's University of Technology during the day and band co-founder and MC by night.
I'm at her home to learn how to play pans from band members Trinidadian Sandie Bowden, along with eldest to youngest band members; 80-year-old Ros Demas and Westlake Boys High School student Nicholas Garner who, at 14 and an impressive height, plays the huge bass drums.
For them the pan is more than just an instrument, it's at the heart of Caribbean culture.
Camille and Sandie explain that Trinidad and Tobago are the birthplace of the steelpan.
Originally developed to help tolerate the inhumane practices of slavery in the 1700s, the musical instrument - the only one invented in the 20th century has its origins in the drumming tradition of the African groups that now reside in these islands.
The two most southerly islands in the chain of Caribbean islands, Tobago and Trinidad, are located just off the north coast of South America. The two islands (originally one country) were inhabited by the indigenous Carib and Arawak Amerindian tribes.
In 1498 the Spanish invaded and colonised until 1797 - under the mistaken belief that gold reserves existed, leading to the near decimation of the indigenous peoples and a demand for a new labour force.
For two centuries after 1618 Africans were taken from the African continent and worked as enslaved labour on the sugar plantations in the Caribbeans.
Africans' Shango religion beat drums to help them tolerate the inhumanity of slavery.
In 1797 when the Spanish surrendered the islands to the British, the new rulers feared that the drums and native languages were being used to inspire rebellion so they banned both.
Eventually, by 1881 the British permitted a celebration without drums that ultimately became Mardi Gras - brought over by the French in the 18th Century. The Africans used songs known as Calypso to satirize the French plantations owners. The masquerades and masks from Mardi Gras have evolved into the costumes that are an essential part of Carnival.
The banning of African drumming led to the use of bamboo - cut in different lengths to produce different sounds and 'Tamboo bamboo' bands until police banned this too because rival bands would use them as weapons. However, the drums continued to beat in secret on the island of Trinidad to maintain the practice of the Shango religion.
Poverty forced people to trial a variety of metal objects such as garbage can covers, biscuit tin lids and milk cans to create musical sounds.
Slavery ended in 1833 with the Emancipation Bill and East Indians were brought in as indentured labourers to replace African labour.
How the drum is made
During World War Two the American bases in Trinidad and Tobago created a demand for oil using 55-gallon drums - discarded by the oil refineries the drums became the source of musical instruments.
Cut to different lengths the drums could produce scales of sound from soprano to bass and indenting the surfaces of the drum lids created a range of musical tones.
Social stigma still remained with this very popular instrument among youth but independence in 1962 and the recognition of the steelpan as the national instrument of the islands meant the pan players became global musical ambassadors.
Steelbands today range in number from 4 players to vast orchestras with over 300 pans. Memorising parts rather than reading music makes the steel pan an immediately accessible instrument and all types of music can be played.
Created in 2005 by a small group of Caribbean Islanders living in Auckland that included Camille, Aotearoa's first Caribbean orchestra came about when the few steelpan players in the country realised there was no steelpan band with a full complement of pans.
The group got start-up funds and a large set of steelpans were purchased from Trinidad and Tobago for nine players.
During Carnival Night the warm-up act consists of a dozen students from Bream Bay College in Ruakaka, Northland. They're the only secondary school in NZ with a steelpan band after an inspirational workshop with Camille and Musical Director Leticia de Klerk (aka Tish). Leticia conducts Steelbands in Schools workshops through Boosted.

Why the chronological feed is dying, and tech companies are increasingly dictating what people consume and when
Since we all started using the internet, the information we've got through twitter, facebook, Instagram, blogs and other sites is usually chronological, it comes in a feed and we tend to see the most recent posts at the top.
But that kind of time based sorting is on its way out in favour of the curated feed. The problem is, who is curating it?
