today there's such blurring because everybody is following trends which this has to do with digital age too but also as if they're running out of vision or ideas so what happens is the only way they can compete is the name so i'm always amazed at this like you open up a spread of a magazine and you see i don't know a track the pants for a woman with a big straight down the side and on the stripe you see busking you know or prada or and because the name is the only thing this differentiating now now in the design world the same thing is starting to happen because you have the and the competition there is that you have the asian m's and the mangoes and you know all the mass market is powerful and it's really giving in a way you could argue good design now you could say in design same thing the ikea's of the world and the mass market of the world is showing the world that our beautiful contemporary couch could be 110th the price of the luxury couch so it's more accessible and i think this is a beautiful thing i've always been a big believer in this notion of i call it design ocracy democra

of four she is not better at the age of 25 then if she didn't learn until the age of ten the age your child learns to read is not related to future reading or cognitive ability. this is something many countries in europe a very well germany, scandinavian countries don't even begin teach reading until seven or eight because the research supports it that kids brains are not necessarily able to do the complicated decoding that reading requires and moreover if you do start to teach reading at an early age when a child is already they become frustrated and annoyed with negative feelings associated with reading and saying this is something i am not good at and with many years of anxiety and frustration that don't correlate well with a child that says that this is something that i want to do with my free time. there is zero correlation even from personal experience of my three kids and one reading the latest is now the more voracious of the three. reading the same over and over mean your child is stuck. the number of parents with harry potter was the guilty thing my kid will just not stop sh

care for aging parents. many don't live in the same state as their aging parents. so we rely on caregivers. and the statistics on caregiving in america is astounding. over 40 million americans currently deliver unpaid care and aging relative or friend. the cdc reports that more than 16 million americans, nearly half of all caregivers provide more than 13 billion hours of unpaid care for families and friends living with alzheimer's. about two thirds of these caregivers are women, thus they are disproportionately impacted and another order care for an aging parents and four children under the ageof 18 . hispanic and african-american caregivers experience higher burden from caregiving and their counterparts . we have to address successful strategies were dealing with our aging population. and we must help caregivers and ease their financial and caregiving burdens. our only option for now, because we don't have a cure for alzheimer's and dementia is to promote and policies that improve thelives of the patients a

first we must limit age gaps in income gaps so that middle aged, middle income adults with disabilities and qualify for long-term care through medicaid, especially when their home care expenses are exceed their income. the medicaid cut off should not be based on income alone but rather on income adjusted by care costs. the family medical leave act should provide paid leave to caregivers and universities should offer support siphons to help ease the burden on student caregivers like me. third, we must aim for universal long-term care to ensure every adult with disability has affordable access to sustainable care. this will be costly but doing nothing will only serve a silent punishment to individuals and disabilities and their caregivers. no family or young caregivers should have to sacrifice their health, education and financial stability just to meet basic human needs. numbers cannot capture what we have occurred over the past decade and sleep as nights, dreams deferred and my mother called me to apologize for being sick. despite the uncertainty of the situation were carving out a new

five years ago at the age of 50. why at the age of 50, i suppose, did you decide you want to do? but really struggled to find somebody to teach me as an adult. there were lots of classes for children but not many for adults. and i thought i really wanted to learn. so i was able to find people to teach me, even simple things like leaning the bike to one side just to get on, i didn't even know how to do that. i was really pleased when i learned, with the help of cycling, we have been able to start today's cycling group called joyful bellas and fellas, which is brilliant, and we are out every saturday trying to encourage people tojoin we are out every saturday trying to encourage people to join us. didn't get to the point when, as you got older, your childhood had come and gone and you haven't learned to ride a bike, and then gets embarrassing to say... i don't know how to ride! yes. i don't know how to swim either, but that is something else. that is for the next decade! exactly. learning to ride at that age is brilliant, and it is so freeing, it is really enjoyable, it seems like

why do you see this golden age? >> let me continue to talk about boys because i think it's important, when you look around at boys and reading, boys read far less than girls. they are less likely in national surveys to say reading is a favorite activity for them. they read fewer books over the summer. many of them don't read a single book over the summer. i want to couple this with other things we know, one is that both genders say they are less likely to seek their fathers reading from their mothers. again, that's back to role models. it's really important that role models, both parents are reading to their kids. secondly, both parents, mothers and fathers are less likely to read to their sons into their daughters. i want to get back to that answer, one of the things that people have observed, there are a lot more books for boys because there's a wider recognition of the many different ways in which kids read some kids are more visual readers, a lot of parents will say my kid can't sit still while reading. okay, th

there was the pre-trump age and the trump age. the president's hate movement against the media has worsened over time. he has inspired lead joeers of r countries to crack down on the media by calling it fake. when we take the long view we can see most americans see through trump's attacks. let me show you a gallup poll going back to 1997 showing you that the trust in the media has been relatively stable regardless of political party for many years. you can see what happens in 2016. the trump age causes a clear divergence. suddenly they express trust in the media while trust among republicans fell sharply. many of those republicans do trust some forms of media like fox news and radio. what we have seen is the polarization of trust. it is one of the key themes of the past decade. let's continue with david zuroic and what needs to change in the 2020s? is that what we're going to call it, 2020s? what needs to change in the decade ahead? >> what i think we need to see changed and this is a moral sense, maybe we don't talk much about mo

we live in an ageing society.r—olds is set to double to 3 million within the next 25 years. the institute for public policy research estimates most care is currently provided by children or family members rather than by the state, saving the government £55 billion. fewer people are having children, and also that we have smaller families, so by 2020 almost half of families will be single—parent. . .single child families. so all of those factors mean that there will be less family care for people as they get older in future. the subject of adult social care dominated the 2017 general election, but has been less prominent during the current campaign. however, there is acknowledgement that the present system is simply unsustainable and urgent reform is needed. the one in ten older people over the age of 65 who currently don't have children, we are wondering how they are going to cope, especially in a social care system that's on the brink of collapse. forjean, and the 1.2 million over 65s in the uk with no children, t

i am going to admit now, this age group is not my age group. i'm just a little outside of it. friends, i think if there was an epidemic with their husbands and gambling, it will be talked about. i don't feel like every third person i am eating is telling me that they have got this particular problem. it may be a generational thing. it is very likely it is. my generation were much more likely to drink and smoke than this generation, and so perhaps this is the next big thing, coming down the trucks. and i agree with george. the smartphone has kind of taken over our lives. i'm amazed to sit on the train or anywhere, really, it is what people are doing. my really, it is what people are doing. my husband is forever yelling at me for trying to watch television with him whilst multitasking. it is the thing of our age, so it is perhaps the thing we will see more of it. a worrying stat, really. indeed. the nhs making the point, the chief executive, this is another area for us executive, this is another area for us to have to find. it is another case of the in hs having to pick up the p
