The future was now at the 1939 World’s Fair – and it is still awesome
From the perspective of the 21st century, it’s hard to imagine what a marvel the 1939-1940 New York World’s Fair would have been to its visitors. Still living in the heavy shadow of the stock market crash of 1929, the many people who flocked to the big exhibition found not only bounteous luxuries such as free Coca-Cola, but the unveiling of unthinkable new technologies that promised that a better world lay ahead. Using sparkling, rare, colour film footage – itself a brand-new technology at the time – the US director Amanda Murray mines the memories of several people who attended the New York World’s Fair in 1939.

In this exclusive video interview, British architect Richard Rogers reflects on the influence of the seminal house he designed for his parents at 22 Parkside in Wimbledon, London. Designed in the late 1960s by Rogers and his then wife Su, the Wimbledon house – also known as the Rogers House – was intended to demonstrate a new pre-fabricated construction system, which would enable homes to be built quickly and affordably. “This wasn’t going to be a one-off like our previous buildings,” Rogers says in the movie, which Dezeen filmed in London. “This was going to be a standardised system to solve the whole of the British housing problem. It didn’t! But it did certainly lead to most of the work which I still do some 50 years later and more.” Originally designed for Rogers’ parents, the building was adapted and extended by Rogers’ son Ab, who moved into the house with his family in 1998. The house received Grade-II heritage listing in 2013, and two years later Rogers donated the home to the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

En esta exclusiva entrevista en vídeo, el arquitecto británico Richard Rogers reflexiona sobre la influencia de la casa seminal que diseñó para sus padres en 22 Parkside en Wimbledon, Londres. Diseñada a finales de la década de 1960 por Rogers y su entonces esposa Su, la casa de Wimbledon, también conocida como Rogers House, tenía la intención de demostrar un nuevo sistema de construcción prefabricado, que permitiría que las casas se construyeran de forma rápida y asequible. “Esto no iba a ser una única como nuestros edificios anteriores”, dice Rogers en la película, que Dezeen filmó en Londres. “Este iba a ser un sistema estandarizado para resolver todo el problema de la vivienda británica. ¡No lo hizo! Pero ciertamente me llevó a la mayor parte del trabajo que todavía hago unos 50 años después y más”. Originalmente diseñado para los padres de Rogers, el edificio fue adaptado y ampliado por el hijo de Rogers, Ab, quien se mudó a la casa con su familia en 1998. La casa recibió la lista de patrimonio de grado II en 2013, y dos años después Rogers donó la casa a la Escuela de Graduados de Diseño de Harvard.

Architect George Suyama wonders if his early years in a Japanese American internment camp led to his love for simplicity. “My theory is that we had nothing there so I became obsessed with little things. I was at a camp in Idaho called Minidoka and it was a tarpaper barracks. They were long shed buildings, I don’t know how many families lived in them, you had one window and a stove area and there were curtains that separated one family from another. Maybe because there was nothing there that I wanted to make everything as simple as I could.“ For five years, he and his wife lived in a tiny 500-square-foot fishing shack in West Seattle. When they bought the narrow lot next door, they wanted to recapture that simplicity. Determined not to remove a single tree, Suyama designed a home 18-feet-wide. To reduce the visual noise of the home the walls, roof, ceiling, floor are all one color (matching the surrounding trees). The only exception is a white box that runs nearly the length of the home which houses the service elements- kitchen, bathroom, stairs and bedroom- and a loft.

It’s alarming to see how polarized politics have become in the United States. The wider the gulf grows, the more people seem to be certain that the other side is wrong. Certainty can be a dangerous thing.
There’s more to what you believe than you think. By Daniele Anastasion.

Sensing a sea change in Western attitudes about diet and the effects of junk food, fast food companies have begun investing heavily in foreign markets where public awareness isn’t as keen—and where Big Macs aren’t junk, they’re a status symbol.

In 2015, Cambridge University conducted an exhaustive study, identifying countries with the healthiest diets in the world. Nine of the top 10 countries are in Africa, where vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes, grains are staples and meals are homemade, a stark contrast to the U.S., where nearly 60% of the calories we consume come from ultra-processed foods and only 1% come from vegetables.
For the past two years, I’ve been making my way around the world, asking kids to keep a journal of everything they eat in a week. Once the week is up, I make a portrait of the child with the food arranged around them. I’m focusing on kids because eating habits, which form when we’re young, last a lifetime and often pave the way to chronic health problems like diabetes, heart disease and colon cancer.

Despite growing awareness here in the U.S. about the harm of eating processed foods, awareness hasn’t yet led to widespread change. Obesity rates are still soaring. Forty years ago, One out of 40 kids were obese. Today, 10 in 40 are. Since corn syrup came along, the incidence of diabetes has tripled. For the first time in many generations, life expectancy in America is declining and the main culprit is empty calories.
I’ve been encouraged to find regions and communities where slow food will never be displaced by junk food, where home cooked meals are the bedrock of family and culture, where love and pride are sensed in the aromas of broths, stews and curries. When the hand that stirs the pot is mom or dad, grandma or grandma, kids are healthier. The deeper goal of Daily Bread is to be a catalyst for change and link to a growing, grassroots community that is moving the needle on diet.

Generations – Lost Generation – G.I. Generation – Silent Generation – Baby boomers – Generation X – Millennials – Generation Z
Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the demographiccohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends. Demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years.
Millennials, who are generally the children of baby boomers and older Gen X adults, are sometimes referred to as “Echo Boomers” due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s. The 20th-century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued, however, so the relative impact of the “baby boom echo” was generally less pronounced than the original post–World War II boom.
Millennial characteristics vary by region, depending on social and economic conditions. However, the generation is generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies. In most parts of the world, their upbringing was marked by an increase in a liberal approach to politics and economics; the effects of this environment are disputed. The Great Recession has had a major impact on this generation because it has caused historically high levels of unemployment among young people, and has led to speculation about possible long-term economic and social damage to this generation.
Join Simon Sinek and Trevor Noah in this candid discussion where they dig into the critical role of friendships in mental health, success, and happiness. Simon argues that while we’re constantly improving ourselves as leaders and professionals, we neglect the deep, emotional bonds that help us thrive. Simon and Trevor also discuss the loneliness epidemic among young men and its link to dangerous ideologies, and why teaching the value of true friendship could change society. Watch as they share stories and insights that will inspire you to nurture your friendships and live a more balanced life.

The time has come to act naturally, or expire .
No more distractions from attestation before us.
Every human on earth needs to learn the truth about the state of our planet’s climate, and about the real dangers ahead, many scientists and climate action leaders are already saying it may be too late. We can no longer ignore or deny the escalating weather and pollution problems around the world.
We all need to do more individually and immediately, to help bring down ridiculous pollution levels, and the overconsumption of our planet’s natural resources. Our societies and communities need to stand together to stop the blocking of efforts to develop proven alternatives and potential solutions, in favour of short term economic growth at all costs.
Those who benefit hugely from the unlimited abuse of nature and natural resources are intent on discrediting all the scientific evidence that proves how quickly we are killing ourselves and our planet.
The ‘politics’ of most developed countries are completely disrupted, abused and held to ransom by lobbying and political bribery in efforts to reduce or dismantle regulatory bodies, and calls by the people for transparency and accountability in providing basic energy and food production and distribution.
Industrial, chemical, land and air transport, food production and processing, power and energy generation – almost everything we do nowadays has some effect on our climate, and our wellbeing, going forward.
Almost every meal has a portion or ingredient packaged in plastic coming from the shop or supermarket, and in warmer climates almost all drinking water is only available in plastic bottles and containers.
Already the statistics and records are showing a rapid deterioration of the environments and weather systems that determine and support the fragile balance of nature that keeps us alive, and in more ways than one.
So even if it’s just to be aware of the true health of our planet, start learning the real facts and available analysis.
