Postmodernism: the 10 key moments in the birth of a movement | Art and design. 1972: The demolition of the Pruitt Igoe housing scheme The modern world died at 3.32pm in St Louis, Missouri, on 15 July 1972. The dynamiting of the notorious Pruitt Igoe housing scheme was a noise that resonated around the world, at least according to architecture critic Charles Jencks in his 1977 book The Language of Post-Modern Architecture.
You probably didn't hear it expire because you were crazed on cola-flavoured moon-dust sweets listening to Bowie's new Ziggy Stardust LP. Or weren't actually born. After Pruitt Igoe fell, a new architecture arose. What was it like? And that was just architecture. 1973: The birth of late capitalism The world plunged into recession from 1973 to 1974, thanks to oil prices quadrupling in the aftermath of the Arab-Israeli war. Welcome to post-Fordism or, if you prefer, the era of late capitalism. But, as musician David Byrne argues in the V&A's catalogue to Post-Modernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990, it's unfair to define post-modernism negatively.

Greenroofs 101 from Greenroofs.com (480p).flv - Simplifiez-vous la vie. Pardoning the National Thanksgiving Turkey. Katelyn Sabochik November 24, 2010 03:17 PM EDT Earlier today President Obama, with the help of daughters Sasha and Malia, carried out “one of the most important duties” he has as President of the United States – the pardoning of the National Thanksgiving Turkey. This year, the National Thanksgiving Turkey Apple, and his understudy Cider, came to the White House from Foster Farms Wellsford Ranch near Modesto, California.
Both turkeys participated in a rigorous competition back home at the farm in order to win the ultimate prize of a Presidential pardon and an all-expenses-paid trip to the White House. During his remarks at the pardoning ceremony, President Obama reflected on the meaning of Thanksgiving and the importance of taking time during the holiday season to give back to our communities: This, of course, is what’s truly meant by Thanksgiving -– a holiday that asks us to be thankful for what we have, and generous to those who have less.

Oliver Sacks - Neurologist - My love of Kew Gardens. Botanical gardens. One of the…the other great place for me in my youth, beside the South Kensington museums and the public library, was Kew, the great botanical garden at Kew. Both my mother and a sister of hers – a favourite aunt of mine, Lenny – were keen on botany and on gardening and on ferns and fern-like things in particular. But I would often go with my aunt to Kew. We would take a... a train from Brondesbury to Kew Gardens. This is one of the oldest lines, I think, in... in England, or lines of its sort. Freeman Dyson - Physicist - Stratospheric cooling vs global warming. I think the... the public is obsessed with the phrase 'global warming', which is not the problem.
I mean global warming I think is a very misleading phrase, because there are other things which are much more important and easier to measure; for example, stratosphere cooling, and stratosphere cooling is much larger than global warming, because global warming is supposed to be a rise in the average ground temperature. The average ground temperature over the earth is impossible to measure since most of the earth is ocean and we don't have instruments.
So this average ground temperature is a fiction. I mean, nobody knows what it is, there's no way you can measure it and it's not particularly important anyway. I mean, what's important is how much rain is going to fall next year, how many hurricanes there are going to be, and how much ozone there's going to be. Well the stratosphere cooling is something we really know a lot about because that's easy to calculate. Eco-cars in Brighton to London Future Car Challenge. Trailer An inconvenient truth.
