Alzheimer Society of Toronto Announces MUSIC FOR MEMORY PROJECT Hosted By Alan Cross
By V13 Staff 04/21/2015 2 Mins Read
In early September of 2014, John Mann, lead singer of Spirit of the West, posted a message on his blog to his fans. At the age of 51, he announced that he has early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
On April 29 at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, the Alzheimer Society of Toronto is hosting a concert in support of those living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Tickets are available for $25 (plus service charges) by visiting musicformemoryproject.org. As a bonus, concert-goers who donate an iPod Shuffle – old or new – will receive a limited edition concert gift.
Alan Cross, of The Edge and History of New Music, will be hosting this memorable night of live music with confirmed artists to date: John Mann, Molly Johnson,Royal Wood, Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson from Skydiggers, Tom Wilson, Kevin Kane plus surprise guests. On behalf of the Alzheimer Society, the event is produced by Brian Hetherman, Cerberus Management and Consulting.
Alzheimer's is a progressive, degenerative, and fatal disease that affects the brain. It is the most common form of dementia. It affects both men and women, regardless of race, religion, or socio-economic background. It is not a normal part of aging. And, no one is immune.
And, while we may associate the disease with older adults, it is sadly becoming more common in younger men and women. In addition to John Mann, two more famous musicians with Alzheimer's have also made headlines: AC/DC's Malcolm Young and Country legend Glen Campbell.
Fortunately for people with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia, there is music. Music has been linked to beneficial effects on the brain stimulating it and helping people feel happy and alive. Music brings memories back to life.
Why an iPod Shuffle? No display screen and simple mechanical controls means that those living with Alzheimer's disease can enjoy the music they once loved without visual distraction, which can be confusing or distressing.
ABOUT THE ALZHEIMER SOCIETY OF TORONTO
The Alzheimer Society of Toronto offers information and education to people with dementia, their families and their caregivers. Our mission is to increase public awareness of dementia, to promote research, and to advocate for services that respect the dignity of the individual.

Line of Duty Finale: Reflections
Posted on 10th May 2021 10th May 2021 By Erin
If you haven't heard of Line of Duty, you must have just come up the Lagan in a bubble. The drama about a police anti-corruption unit has become the BBC's most watched drama of the 21st century. Until recently I knew very little about it other than the fact that it was filmed in Belfast, so I decided to watch the entire thing on iPlayer to see what the fuss was about. It very quickly became my new special interest. Line of Duty is a very good TV drama with complex characters, intricate plotting and a fantastic soundtrack.
And then there was the series 6 ending. That ending. The ending that caused #disappointing and #underwhelming to trend on Twitter. Now that it's been a week since series 6 concluded, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the episode and why it fell flat. I am not disappointed because I didn't understand the ending – in fact, the reveal that there was no Big Bad out there and corruption is here to stay was quite good. My disappointment is with how it was executed.
In previous series, Mercurio has been very good at subtly weaving in real-world references and lessons into the story without ruining the suspension of disbelief that good TV requires. In series 6 there was a jarring shift in tone from being a police drama with lots of dramatic licence to a more realistic social commentary. Yes, the ending was realistic, but Line of Duty has never been about realism – urgent exit required, anyone? This is the series that has given us scenes of Kate charging down Tate's Avenue with a machine gun. Not realistic in the slightest, but brilliant TV. If it was realistic, Central Police would have been put into special measures years ago and had the army called in, given how many of their officers are gunned down by the OCG on a near daily basis. Line of Duty is to policing what Casualty is to medicine and what Waterloo Road is to education – a highly dramatised version of a real-life career.
It reminded me of another hit BBC TV series that ended badly: Sherlock. Sherlock started off as a great detective show, but then had an identity crisis and tried to be James Bond towards the end. It wasn't that the ending was bad per se, but it was out of kilter with the rest of the show. The same happened with Line of Duty. I don't have a problem with Mercurio using his show to criticise the political establishment, but I do have a problem that he did so at the expense of plot and character development, the two things that made Line if Duty great.
On the matter of character development, the episode wasted too much time dragging up past characters like Fairbank who added nothing to the story, instead of focussing on the characters that the audience know and love. Steve's burgeoning painkiller addiction didn't come to anything after two series of build-up. The only consequence was that he lost his firearm, but all is fine, he just tasers a machine-gun wielding OCG member instead. New girl Chloe's characterisation was also done badly. It felt like she was just shoved in to make up for Kate not being in AC-12. Even Georgia Trottman got better character development, and she was chucked out a window after two episodes.
Chloe did all her work off screen and only appeared to report her findings – the joy of previous series was seeing the mundanities of police work happen on screen. Show, don't tell, is the first rule of creative writing. In a Deus ex Machina fashion, the greatest mystery of Line of Duty was solved by doing a quick spell check that could have been done three series ago – none of the intricate police procedures and interviews that we had in previous series.
All being said, I mustn't be too pessimistic. There was plenty I liked about series 6, and Line of Duty remains one of the best BBC dramas of all time. A damp squib of an ending doesn't mean the entire saga is a write-off. I adore the main cast, and Adrian Dunbar has single-handedly made Northern Irish slang popular on a national level. I highly recommend the first three series, prior to the 'H' storyline being introduced. The early series are storytelling at its finest, before the show became a victim of its own hype and the 'H' storyline was drawn out for several series too many (the morse code retcon was just silly).
I will finish this review/rant with some theological reflection. Line of Duty is spot-on with its understanding of human nature; any organisation made up of people will have elements of corruption. Even seemingly virtuous organisations like Oxfam have been embroiled in scandal. James 3:16 is a timeless truth: "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice."
Line of Duty also demonstrates how sins of commission and omission are equally dangerous. Sins of commission are obviously evil: characters in the show have been involved in prostitution, paedophilia, drug smuggling and miscarriage of justice. However, the biggest reveal of the finale was that these blatant acts of evil are only possible if more subtle forms of evil exist – those who are willing to turn a blind eye for their own self-preservation. As Bonhoeffer (supposedly) wrote, "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."
So what can be done? The solution is both systemic and personal. Systemically, there is currently a much-needed emphasis on accountability and safeguarding in institutions such as churches, schools and public services. These systems are still far from perfect, but the more openness and transparency there is, the better things will be. My current master's research considers such themes in a church context and some of the literature makes for tough reading. It's immensely disheartening to read about abuses and coverups that have happened in the very institutions that are supposed to uphold God's standards, but it is equally encouraging to read that the problem has been acknowledged and that solutions are being found.
The antidote to corruption also requires individuals to change their behaviour. After all, institutions are a collection of individuals. We have a choice: do we want to be like DSU Buckells, turning a blind eye to sin and corruption, or do we want to be like Supt. Hastings, who is willing to stand for truth and justice even at the expense of his career and reputation? Integrity does not mean being sinless; Hastings has plenty of sins of his own, but at least he admits to them and attempts to do better.
To quote Rev Jules Middleton, "Most of us won't be drawn into criminal gangs or murder, but we've all faced temptations. Have we been those who have stood by and done nothing when we've witnessed wrongdoing? Evil is all of those things that thrive in an absence of God's presence."
In summation, the overall message of Line of Duty is spot-on – corruption is often banal, driven by greed, laziness and incompetence – but the execution left much to be desired. Everyone should watch the Gogglebox reaction to the ending. They really do speak for the nation.
Staying Sane During Lockdown
One thought on "Line of Duty Finale: Reflections"
Louise Brown says:
I'm a recently diagnosed follower of Jesus and I am delighted to find a fellow Autie who is as passionate about the bible as I am. I view my autism a gift from God, I am made in His image and here to represent Jesus on earth till he comes again. I do not see my autism as a 'mistake', God does not make mistakes and I feel like I have been set free to worship Him in a way that is authentic to the way He made me, even if that does mean stimming in church! I'm still very early on this section of my journey with Jesus (been a 'Christian' for years, but as I say, only recently diagnosed) and I'm very excited about what He might have in store for me next.
Thank you for speaking into such an important area in a biblical, Jesus centred way and may God bless you always x

Lawrence General is equipped with two CT scanners, one located in the Radiology Department and the other in the Emergency Center.
A CT scan combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple cross-sectional images of a specific area of the body. The test involves you lying on a table which moves in and out of a large, donut shaped circle. The final images are viewed and read by the radiologist.
While radiation dose from CT scans has been in the news lately, Lawrence General Hospital has always selected equipment that protects our patients and staff from unnecessary radiation. We utilize the ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) and the Siemens CareDose program to reduce radiation exposure.
Our staff is "kid friendly" and the CT protocols have been "child sized" to keep exposure to a minimum.
Certain tests require you to drink an oral contrast agent, which will highlight the digestive tract on the CT exam. In addition, an intravenous injection of contrast may also be needed to highlight other organs, arteries and veins. Your doctor and the radiologist will determine which contrast you will need based on your symptoms and medical history.
Not all CT exams require preparation. If you are scheduled for an exam that requires an oral prep you will be asked to arrive 2 to 3 hours prior to your appointment time. The CT technologist will review your medical history and give you further instructions. It is important that you bring a written list of all medications you are taking.
Your physician will give you specific instructions regarding arrival time, scan time and whether or not you need to fast for the procedure. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call our CT Team at 978-946-8103.
CT scans are covered by most insurance companies but do require a physician's order and in most cases preauthorization from your insurer. If you have any questions regarding your co-pay and/or deductible you should consult your insurance carrier.

There's a certain calmness about Sanjay Leela Bhansali: Nayan Shukla
New Delhi, Nov 24 (IANS): Budding actress Nayan Shukla got to work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali recently. She says there is a certain calmness about the filmmaker that allows you to be who you are.
Without revealing the name of the film, Nayan said she got "lucky with this one".
"Shruti Mahajan who is undoubtedly one of the finest casting directors of our times and who works closely with Sanjay ji spotted me at the gym and called me to audition for this part and I eventually got cast for it," Nayan told IANS.
Talking about Bhansali, she said: "There's a certain calmness about Sanjay ji that allows you to be who you are. I'm grateful to him for instilling that confidence in me through our interaction."
While her big screen debut is yet to happen, she featured in the digital project "Masaba Masaba".
"My launch was to come from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali production that we shot in London a while ago and I was quite thrilled about it. But I received an unexpected call from Panchami Ghavri casting company, unexpected because like any newcomer I had dropped my pictures at her office about five years ago," said Nayan.
"She reached out to discuss this particular character last year and I was unsure as she mentioned that this character might have intimate scenes with Masaba (designer), but it turns out that the script eventually changed and she convinced me after all. Yes, the character that I portrayed in the web series was supposed to have intimate scenes with Masaba initially. Now, I am only glad that I took up the role, and that it turned out well and I received so much love from the audience all over the world," she added.
She got the opportunity to work with critically acclaimed actors like Neena Gupta and Suchitra Pillai in her debut project.
"Apart from the years of experience that they hold along their unparalleled performances, as actors both Neena ma'am and Suchitra ma'am have an exceptional ability to put another actor at ease which is a rare quality to have! It has been an absolute privilege to have worked with such talented actors, everyone on the show ('Masaba Masaba') is incredibly talented," said Nayan, who has also hosted events and TV shows

11 Systems Workshop Kicks off the New Year
On August 22nd, the All Girls STEM Society held their first workshop of the 2020-2021 school year. Kaavya, Sebrina, Anusri, Lindsay, Sonakashi and Nayana from Del Norte High School branch of AGSS led the workshop. From 2:00 to 4:00, girls learnt about the 11 systems that make their body run.
After Emma introduced the workshop and went over Zoom procedures, Lindsay started small with the building blocks of the human body: cells. She taught girls about organelles of the cells and how the nucleus is like the brain of the cell while the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Participants also learnt about how cells make up tissues which make up organs which make systems which make up our entire body! Finally, she introduced the girls to the nine systems that would be covered in the workshop: cardiovascular, skeletal, nervous, respiratory, digestive, immune, urinary and muscular. She asked participants what each of the systems did, and girls responded both out loud and in the chat.
Next, the girls were introduced to the cardiovascular system and were asked to do 15 "heart jumps." After they exercised, they could feel their hearts beat faster. Lindsay showed the girls how they could listen to their pulses, or their hearts beating. Sebrina and Lindsay taught the girls about the cardiovascular system and why they needed blood. To help the girls understand blood vessels, Sebrina analogized them to a highway. After the girls learnt about the different parts of the heart, they played an interactive game to help cement their knowledge. Using a labeled map of the heart, the girls had to figure out how blood flowed through the heart. Every time they made it through a part of the heart, they had to do a challenge. Some challenges were questions about the heart, like why do we need oxygen? However, some were silly dances like the can-can and the floss.
After that, Anusri taught the girls about the skeletal system by explaining that they are the system that makes sure that humans aren't flopping around on the floor like slugs. To encourage the girls to stay healthy, Lindsay explained that the potassium from bananas and the calcium from milk helps their bones grow strong. Ansuri walked the girls through ligaments, cartilage and joints, and after a short break spent showing off various pets, the girls put their skills to the test by building and labeling a model skeleton from Q-tips. Nayana helped participants represent and learn about bones like the skull, spine, ribs, pelvis, femur, fibula, humerus, radius, clavicle and ulna. While they worked on their projects, they discussed the functions of these bones. The girls also got to share their skeletons with each other.
Because the girls really enjoyed the skeleton activity, they almost didn't have enough time to go over the immune system, but Sonakshi was able to give a quick summary of the immune system and explain that the immune system was responsible for protecting your body from "invaders" like pathogens. She also explained the difference between innate immune system (a general defense) and the adaptive immune system (a more targeted attack). Sonakshi and Lindsay closed out the workshop with a game of "Name That System!" Girls were given examples of activities that people do like eating cookies and playing tennis and they had to name which of the human body systems would be involved in doing the activities. Girls typed their answers in the chat and volunteers responded to their ideas. At 4:00 the workshop ended, but hopefully the girls walked away with a little more understanding of how they were able to do so.


Haja Mohideen, Ahmad Jazlan and Sidek, Shahrul Na'im (2011) Development of EMG circuit to study the relationship between Flexor Digitorum Superficialis muscle activity and hand grip strength. In: 2011 4th International Conference on Mechatronics: Integrated Engineering for Industrial and Societal Development (ICOM 2011), 17-19 May, 2011, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Hand grip strength plays a vital role in performing basic daily tasks such as holding an object. These tasks require a lot of effort from the muscles in the forearm. In this paper, we study the relationship between the muscular effort of the flexor muscles in the forearm and hand grip strength. In order to do that, an electronic circuit was constructed to amplify and filter the electromyogram (EMG) signals measured from the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) muscle. The EMG signals measured from the FDS are used to study the relationship between muscular effort of the flexor muscles in the forearm and hand grip strength. EMG signals were measured from the subject while he applied minimum, intermediate and maximum hand grips on a hand gripper. The results show that EMG frequency from the FDS increase with increased hand grip strength. This information relating EMG from flexor muscles to hand grip strength is useful to be used in hand rehabilitation devices to estimate suitable resistance to be provided to patients during rehabilitation routines. Each stage of the circuit development is described in detail so that this experiment can be easily reproduced by others.

Q: Changing attribute value for a pseudo-CSS class So, I've been trying to find an easy and simple way to access a pseudo CSS class via JavaScript/jQuery but it seems that isn't possible due to those parts not specifically being on the DOM. Essentially, I need help programmatically changing the background value in the following snippet:
.navbar .link::after {
   content: '';
   display: block;
   margin-top: -13px;
   width: 0;
   height: 5px;
   background: #ffffff;
   transition: width .3s;
}

I was trying to do $('.link::after').css('background','gold'); but that did not work. How can I tackle this?
Also, here's the fiddle.

The jobless story had nothing to do with current events and should have been in a leisure section.
One can dig up these individual case studies at any time, regardless of economic conditions.
Some people highlighted are over 60.
Does it really surprise anyone that they would have difficulty finding employment at that age?
I didn't really understand what the point was.
Considering what the country and economy have been through since Sept. 11, 2001, it is quite remarkable that we have recovered to these levels.
A story highlighting the current strength of the economy seems more appropriate and certainly more uplifting than this puff piece.

Major General Stuart Smith AM handed over command of Australian Defence Force Joint Task Force 633 to Major General Crane in a formal ceremony attended by all ADF members based at Al Minhad in the United Arab Emirates.
Commander Joint Task Force 633 commands all ADF units assigned to Operation SLIPPER - Australia's military contribution to the international campaign against terrorism, maritime security in the Middle East Area of Operations and countering piracy in the Gulf of Aden.
Major General Smith said leading Australian personnel in the Middle East and Afghanistan was a memorable period of his career and commended the efforts of the service men and women during his time as Commander.
"I have been fortunate to witness the courage, compassion and commitment of our troops in the Middle East," Major General Smith said.
"Their actions in Afghanistan have allowed us to begin the transition of security responsibilities to Afghan national forces and the assumption of Australian leadership of the Combined Team Uruzgan.
"Sadly, these decisive events have occurred at a cost and my deepest sympathies remain with the families of our six soldiers killed in action this year."
Major General Smith said the new commander will witness the change in roles and was in no doubt the troops would continue their important work to an admirable standard.
"I welcome Major General Crane, and I know he will lead Australian troops with distinction," Major General Smith said.
Major General Crane congratulated the outgoing commander on a successful tour and thanked him for his hard work and dedication.
"It is a great privilege that I am able to assume command of this task force that has served Australia and its interests with distinction for many years," Major General Crane said.
"I look forward to the continuing transition of our role in Afghanistan, including training the Afghan National Security Forces to ready them to assume security responsibility for Uruzgan Province by 2014.
"During my time as commander, we will develop our redeployment plan to ensure the Australian forces leave the Middle East in a responsible, ethical and environmentally-friendly manner.
"We want to help ensure Afghanistan is a safer place for everyone when we leave and for years to come."
On return to Australia, Major General Smith will take a short leave break before he assumes command of the Headquarters 1st Division/Deployable Joint Force Headquarters in Brisbane.

File this under: Who told you this was a good idea?
As a massive Bravo fan, I'm something of a "Real Housewives" apologist. Teresa Guidice accused of multiple types of fraud? A mistake, surely! Phaedra Parks's husband actually convicted of fraud? She couldn't possibly have known! Aviva Drescher throws her fake leg at a dinner? Well... she's kind of insane.
Naturally, this set off a firestorm of complaints in the comment section. I was going to pick out a few but I think this one by @jellybellydreams does the best job of summing things up: "Bravo @bethennyfrankel this is such an accomplishment. Every mother can't wait for the moment where she can share her wardrobe with her daughter, and you've done it at size4T! Now that's amazing!! Kidding! We get it. You're freakn skinny, but THIS is the most horrid and moronic move you could have done. Embarrassed for you. [sic]"
In the interest of being fair, I once stuffed myself into a Halloween costume intended for a toddler -- photographic evidence here -- so it's possible to do even if you're not as thin as Frankel. And indeed, other commenters have chimed in arguing that the people getting upset are thin-shaming Frankel. Frankel herself took to Twitter to defend the photo. "When ur 4 year old peanut says 'mommy please put my dress on' & giggles uncontrollably, u do what ur told. [sic]," she wrote.
Still, it is a little bit disconcerting how well a 4T set of pajamas seems to fit Frankel. On the plus side, think of how much she must save shopping for herself in the kids section!

Award-winning writer Tina Rosenberg explores the role that good journalism plays in helping to build societal trust.
For too long, journalists have defined news as "what's wrong." Journalism's theory of change is "Society will get better when we reveal problems that need fixing."
Bad news is considered more salable, more dramatic — more newsworthy. A shooting gets coverage. A once-violent neighborhood going a year without a shooting gets none, although that story is important, fresh, and interesting.
Right now, the United States is experiencing a health crisis, an economic crisis, and a racial justice crisis — all at once. Bad news is overwhelming. But with so many places responding to these crises, some of those responses are successful and newsworthy. We need more reporting about what works.
Read About People Changing the World
In 2013, we founded the Solutions Journalism Network (SJN) to challenge the idea that only bad news is news. Our goal was to legitimize and spread rigorous coverage of how people are responding to problems and their associated results. Solutions journalism isn't activism or advocacy or "good news." It's plain old covering the news — but the news is about how people are trying to solve problems, what results they're getting, and what can be learned from it.
We work with hundreds of news organizations in the United States, and increasingly, abroad, to help them understand the value of this coverage and the specifics of how to do it well.
Because journalism is suffering from twin catastrophes — the collapse of the business model, and the collapse of trust — a usually-defensive profession has been remarkably open to these new ideas. It helps that the public demands these stories. By far the biggest reason people disengage from the news is its relentless negativity. In survey after survey, audiences — especially young audiences — say they want media to cover solutions.
A steady media diet of failure, dysfunction and corruption provides a distorted picture of the world — one that breeds cynicism and erodes trust.
New York, 2011.
Revealing wrongdoing is crucial, of course — now more than ever. But it's not enough. It's not the way people change. We adopt new habits when we know that people just like us have done so. The same is true of societies. We can't do better until we know that better is possible — and how it happened. And of critical importance here is having confidence that our change in behavior will be welcome, supported, and make a larger difference. This requires trust.
A steady media diet of failure, dysfunction and corruption provides a distorted picture of the world — one that breeds cynicism and erodes trust. Nothing works, so let's burn it all down.
This diet of failure not only has reduced trust in institutions. Worse, it has reduced our trust in each other. In 1972, 46% of Americans surveyed thought that most people can be trusted. In 2012, that figure was only 32%. And we especially don't trust people who don't look like us.
This is a worldwide problem. According to the Edelman Trust Barometer, we are in the midst of a global epidemic of mistrust. Until COVID-19, which produced a spike in trust in government, three-quarters of governments around the world were distrusted by their citizens, slightly more than half of people surveyed distrusted the media, and slightly less than half of people surveyed distrusted NGOs.
Tina Rosenberg with her Solutions Journalism co-founder David Bornstein at a symposium on violence prevention at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, 2015.
We know about people like us first-hand. But we mainly know people who are different through what we see, hear, and read in the media — which mainly portrays "the other" as predators or victims. No wonder we don't respect or trust them. Such reporting is about those who are different, but it's not for them. It robs diverse communities of agency and serves the biases of a white audience. Yet every community works to solve its own problems. We need to cover those responses.
This mistrust infects collaboration across sectors for social change. We see government as broken and corrupt, NGOs as unrealistic dreamers, and the private sector as greedy and untrustworthy.
There's enough truth to all these labels that they've become the stereotypes — and hence, the focus of coverage for journalists.
There are, of course, many dedicated public servants, well-designed and -run government programs, NGOs with impact, and businesses whose bottom line includes the health of their community. But we tend not to know about them, because they've rarely been covered.
Because of such stereotypes, we miss opportunities for progress. We might assume that no desirable partners exist. We might assume that there's no profit in trying to collaborate, because we are unaware of where it has succeeded. And those two assumptions can lead to a third: change is not possible.
For philanthropists involved in — or just contemplating — such collaborations, Solutions Journalism brings two different kinds of value. First, it spreads models that work, and tells how.
In SJN's Solutions Story Tracker, a searchable database of thousands of solutions stories, looking up the "Cross-sector collaboration" tag yields more than 500 stories. One, for example, is "Inside the Ambitious Campaign to Drive Homicides in Chicago Below 400" from The Trace. That story shows how the state of Illinois, Chicago's government, foundations, universities, and businesses have joined forces to create massive, evidence-driven programs that take a public health approach to gun violence.
Another example is the partnership between government, the private sector and NGOs in Cleveland to reduce infant mortality. The city had long planned to establish a task force on infant mortality, but it took shape only after a series in the Cleveland Plain Dealer showed how in Baltimore, all these parties collaborated — and achieved a 24% drop in infant mortality over five years.
The other value solutions journalism provides is more subtle: to break down walls of distrust. We in the media bear much of the responsibility for creating these walls. People working for social change often experience (and fume about) the media's focus on failure. As subjects of journalism, we know that what's reported doesn't tell the whole story. But as consumers of journalism, we often forget. We know the media's biases — but we still allow them to shape our views, creating distrust and inaction.
Fortunately, journalism can also tear down these walls. Reporting that busts stereotypes about government (or NGOs, or philanthropy, or business) creates trust. Covering what works, and how it works, is information society needs and news consumers want. Most important, it's doing what journalists were always supposed to do: tell the whole story.
Tina Rosenberg is co-founder of the Solutions Journalism Network and co-writer of the "Fixes" column in The New York Times, which looks at what works to solve social problems. She is a long-time "New York Times" writer, for the editorial page and "The New York Times Sunday Magazine" as well as "Fixes." Before that, she was a freelance writer. She has published hundreds of magazine articles, in publications such as "The New Yorker," "The Atlantic," and "Rolling Stone." She is also author of three books: "Children of Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America," "The Haunted Land: Facing Europe's Ghosts After Communism," and "Join the Club: How Peer Pressure Can Transform the World." "The Haunted Land" won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.

This is the stone, drenched with rain, that points the way.
One of the side effects of Zen practice that I enjoy most is a softening around my insistence that "This isn't It." When the universe serves me something unexpected, I am more likely to trust that it's for me, even though it may not appear to be what I ordered. Maybe I think my eggs are too runny, I should have done college better my first time through, or that someone needs to change before I can love them. But rather than insisting on how I think things ought to be, I keep finding that it's easier to just trust the way things are. Navigation is simpler that way and it sure beats paddling upstream all the time. Here is a story about not trusting.
For the past few weeks, I have been preparing to move to Texas. I never thought I'd live in Texas. In fact, I was pretty sure my next move would be back to the West Coast. But then, things just move in the direction they move, and it seems right to move with them. So I'm moving to Texas.
Moving is full of changes and, for a time, it becomes more clear that changes are themselves the material of my life. I wrap up some relationships with friends and colleagues and devise ways to continue others. The true intimacy of a relationship can become more clear very near the end, just as waves heave up as they begin to break. My relationships to things change also. I have much to sell or give away, and managing ads on Craigslist becomes a full-time job.
I'm feeling pretty good about how the car looks and drives, but there are a couple of seemingly minor issues that need to be addressed before showing it to potential buyers. A leaky hose prevents the air condition from blowing cold and I have not yet installed an aftermarket stereo system given to me by a friend. In my excitement, I post an ad on Craigslist before they are addressed and almost immediately, emails asking to see the car start pouring in.
Without noticing it, I have drifted into dangerous territory. I am advertising something I do not have. I'm getting ahead of the universe and hoping that it won't notice that there's nothing behind the curtain. Looking back, it seems like it could be the plot of an episode of I Love Lucy.
I parry my way through a melee of emails while the car is in the shop, waiting for the A/C hose to be replaced. Of course, the parts dealer's computer system is down, so the mechanic doesn't know when the repair will be finished or how much it will cost. (Only later do I realize that I have not factored the potential cost of the repairs into my asking price.) Then there is the aftermarket stereo I advertised, which has not yet been installed (did I mention I've never installed a car stereo before?).
It's strange to experience the elation that comes with each interested buyer mixed with the stress of having to manage what feels like a lie that is becoming less and less white. I push suitors out to the next afternoon, hoping the car will be finished by then. I schedule the first one for 6:00pm, the next for 5:30pm, 5:00pm, 4:30pm, and I can feel the pressure mounting between present and future as I bet more and more on cards I can't see.
I am getting out of hand. My mind is swirling. I'm short-tempered with my fiancee, who is only trying to help, I'm pushy with the mechanics, and I'm frustrated with myself for putting us in this position. I am the poster boy for dogged willfulness, and it seems the only strategy is to continue digging to save face and a sense of control. (As I'm writing this, I notice my breathing has become shallow and I am gently grinding my teeth.) There is some faint voice reminding me periodically about trust and koans and my practice, but I shut it out because it's not useful for manipulating things in my favor.
The time finally comes to show the car to the first suitors and the A/C hose has still not been replaced. There is a whole separate mini-drama surrounding the installation of the stereo, but that's another story. The suitors arrive early and are walking up to my door as I give the new stereo the final push into the dashboard (it works great, by the way). They seem like very nice people and they test drive the car and tell me they'll think about it and I say of course.
After all that trouble, all those hours of scrubbing and polishing, of agonizing over details and organizing suitors and nagging the mechanic and struggling to get the stock stereo out and trying to understand wiring harnesses…Are you f***ing serious?
"The spirits that hold up the stove," replied Lang.
The governor shook out his sleeves and left.
The other driver and I pull into the parking lot and exchange information. A kind police officer is nearby and comes over to check on us. In situations like these, there can be a strong drive to decide who's in the wrong. Though I notice that I'm a bit shook up, I'm not actually angry, and placing blame seems totally uninteresting. The other driver apologizes profusely and I find myself saying, "It's okay, it's okay." She is sweet and I like her and we chat while we're exchanging information. She laments that she'll catch hell when she gets home and I laugh and say me, too. I am delighted by the sheer irony of the situation. I stop on the way home to show my mechanic what has happened and I am pleased by his look of genuine astonishment. He covers his face and shakes his head and suggests that, considering my luck, it might be safer to just park the car and walk home.
Sometimes we are rescued by something terrible. As I look over the damage of the car, each new injury adds to a faint but growing sense of relief. (Ah, the fender is ruined! Ooh, the frame is buckled! I smell antifreeze!) It begins to sink in that, for all my willful scrambling, the bottom has dropped out of the situation. The stress of managing car repairs and dealing with potential suitors has been completely wiped away by the accident. The ship may have been commandeered by pirates, but at least I'm no longer sailing us straight into a sandbar.
After events such as this one, the mind often sprouts thoughts about how things might have been different–if only I'd gone somewhere else to get a snack, if only the car showing had taken 5 more seconds, or 5 less seconds, or the mechanics had repaired the air conditioning–but these explanations are always based on what we know, and any given moment is far beyond our understanding. In World War II, Royal Air Force flight crews "blamed gremlins for otherwise inexplicable accidents which sometimes occurred during their flights. Gremlins were also thought at one point to have enemy sympathies, but investigations revealed that enemy aircraft had similar and equally inexplicable mechanical problems. As such, gremlins were portrayed as being equal opportunity tricksters, taking no sides in the conflict, and acting out their mischief from their own self-interest" (Wikipedia).
The actual state of things in each moment is something I can rely on. Blame is not something that can be proven because there are always gremlins or stove spirits who are pulling strings backstage, silent partners with mysterious agendas. As I was writing this post, the repair shop my car was towed to–one I have never had dealings with before- called. They wanted to let me know that they're backed up and would not be able to begin assessing my car's damage until 2 days before I leave for Texas. And what of that? Well, that's the gremlins' business. As for me, I'm going to remove a tiny splinter from my toe and go have lunch with a friend.

Who was who
Universo Lorcawho was who
Martínez Nadal, Rafael
Writer and journalist, close friend of Federico García Lorca. He maintained a copious correspondence with him and has provided numerous valuable testimonies about his life and work. He is considered the sole repository of the work The Public, which he unveiled in 1970. However, Isabel García Lorca doubts in her memoirs, My Memories, published in 2002, the legitimate provenance of some manuscripts and suggests that she took them without permission from the Madrid home during the Civil War.
According to his own testimony, Martínez Nadal was the last person to see Lorca in Madrid on July 16, 1936 before leaving by train for Granada to celebrate in the Huerta de san Vicente farmhouse the feast of Saint Federico on July 18.
At the Residencia de Estudiantes he met Lorca. From there, a friendship between the two began that would last until two months before the poet's assassination.
Martínez Nadal studied law in Madrid, while cultivating friendships with intellectuals and athletes of the time. He himself was a prominent boxer and participated in circles opposed to the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera.
Married to Jacinta Castillejo, in 1934 he moved to London, although he often came to Spain. In England he worked as a newspaper correspondent. During the Civil War he used the pseudonym Antonio Torres. Jacinta's mother was British and her father was the famous republican doctor José Castillejo, one of the most active reformers of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza (Free Teaching Institution), promoter of the Residencia de Estudiantes (Students' Residence). There, on Poplar Hill, she met Federico García Lorca. From that moment on, a friendship began between them that lasted until two months before the poet's murder.
In 1935, he was appointed Assistan Lecturer at King's College. At the beginning of the Civil War he was in Spain preparing for the vacations and from the beginning he saw it as a "huge stupidity" so, despite considering himself a "lifelong Republican" he avoided taking part in the conflict. He returns to London and begins a series of programs on the BBC under the title The Voice of London in which he deals with issues relating to Spain and the war. He maintained a close relationship with the Spanish exiles and he managed to collect and publish numerous books of experiences and texts.
In 1963, he published for the first time in the magazine Residencia of Mexico The Last Day of Federico García Lorca in Madrid where he reconstructs the poet's last hours before leaving for Granada and his doubts about whether or not to stay in Madrid. "Rafael, these fields are going to be filled with dead people," Lorca confided to him in a premonition that July 16. When they were about to leave on their way to the station, Lorca handed him the manuscript of The Public: "He opened a drawer in the table and took out a package and said to me: "Take it. Keep this for me. If anything happens to me you destroy everything. If not, you'll give it to me when we meet."
Isabel García Lorca is suspicious of this account. "I suspect that some of [Lorca's manuscripts came] from his desk drawers during the war, because the doorman, who knew him well, let him in several times. If not, how else can you explain that he had letters from me to Federico, even a postcard I sent him from Epidauros? I never believed in the story he told about the manuscript of The Public […]. Could Federico have suspected what his fate would be? […]. I should have collected everything before leaving Madrid, but I didn't. I couldn't.
His books related to the Spanish exile in England are numerous, Luis Cernuda, the Man and his Subjects; José Castillejo, the Man and his Work in 'The Voice of London'; Republicans and Monarchists in Exile, 1944-1956; Miguel de Unamuno, Two vignettes, and José María Quiroga Pla, Man and Poet Exiled in Paris (1951-1955), Federico García Lorca. My penultimate book about the man and the poet.
He died in Madrid at the age of 96.

Red Pepper column, Uncategorized
Column: Beyond blockbusters
Issue 223 of Red Pepper, focuses on new union-led battles and strategies in and beyond the UK.
The culture section looks at political approaches to cinema, from the black liberation tradition of Sorry to Bother You to the rebel history of Peterloo, and a visit to Newcastle's community-run cinema, The Star & Shadow.
This column introduced the section with a look at the rising popularity – and bankability – of overtly political films.
Beyond blockbusters
While summers are for blockbusters, winter is for the ostensible "best" films of the year. After creating 'buzz' through the slow drip of spring-autumn festival screenings, studios and distributors tend to release their potential prize winners en mass at the year's end. Their aim is to ensure that, come January, select films are fresh in the minds of award voters. It's a cynical ploy, and one that can frustrate cinemagoers with tastes that extend beyond 'Prestige Hollywood' fare. This year there are gems in the rough of worthy period dramas and staid biopics that suggest a more political edge may be returning to mainstream films—and that the thirst for independent productions is rising.
Peterloo and Sorry to Bother You, both reviewed in these pages, are serious yet engaging films that address head-on questions of class, exploitation, and popular revolution—albeit in very different contexts, and through very different aesthetic sensibilities. Alfonso Cuarón's Roma, which traces the life of domestic worker Cleo against a backdrop of political unrest in 1970s Mexico, has won equal plaudits for its aesthetic beauty and its handling of class dynamics—though some critics have identified paternalism where others laud a 'personal touch'. Roma will be available on Netflix soon, its director seemingly as eager for a wide audience as he is for award recognition.
Two notable documentaries, both of which premiered at the recent London Film Festival, are similarly more likely to be found on a streaming platform than on the big screen. Bisbee '17 mixes documentary, Western, musical and dramatic recreation to show how events in 1917 reverberate into the present in a southern Arizona town where an armed militia drove 2,000 striking immigrant miners into the desert and left them there to die. The Plan (That Came from the Bottom Up) takes a more traditional narrative route to tell how Lucas Aerospace workers facing redundancy in the 1970s devised plans to produce ecologically friendly machines—from wind turbines to electric cars—in place of military hardware.
Labour rights is just one timely current theme. Sorry… is one of a handful of films released this year—to both critical acclaim and box office success—that frankly address racism in the United States. While Blackkklansman (based on a true story) and If Beale Street Could Talk (adapted from James Baldwin's novel) focus attention on the 1970s, The Hate U Give provides an urgent insight to present realities. Each film, not incidentally, addresses institutionalised racism and violence with the police—albeit with different levels of critique.
Far from a Black Panther-effect, the blockbuster released just ten months ago, these films are testament to the success of movements, from Black Lives Matter to #OscarsSoWhite, in challenging artists, scriptwriters and filmmakers to redress historical silences, omissions and racist casting choices. The #MeToo moment must also be credited with the palatable shift in attention and distribution of resources to tell politically relevant stories about people other than white men. Thankfully, such efforts need not be po-faced, as Steve McQueen's Widows, a heist thriller with an intersectional lens released in November, testifies.
Challenges remain, however, in terms of the diversity of lives seen and heard at the movies. As Danny Leigh wrote in Sight & Sound in October, 'Ken Loach is used as a fig leaf by the industry, as if one great director making films about working-class people means the box has been adequately ticked'. As much as we celebrate films like Peterloo, we must remain alive to the structures keeping film industries the world over predominantly closed to working class writers, directors and actors. While we watch revolution unfold on screen, we still need one behind it.
