moleskine detour at MoMA store tokyo

inside the MoMA design store in omotesando, a glass tunnel with 50 moleskine notebooks showcased the imaginations of architects, designers, writers, directors and artists.

visitors were invited to use a pair of white cotton gloves (which were distributed at the entrance) for closer inspection, of the painting, drawing and doodling of famous architects and designers, on the empty white pages of a new notebook.

"The United States ranks 31st in life expectancy (tied with Kuwait and Chile), according to the latest World Health Organization figures. We rank 37th in infant mortality (partly because of many premature births) and 34th in maternal mortality. A child in the United States is two-and-a-half times as likely to die by age 5 as in Singapore or Sweden, and an American woman is 11 times as likely to die in childbirth as a woman in Ireland."

Ubi caritas

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur:
Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus.
Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites.
Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus.

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Simul quoque cum beatis videamus,
Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus:
Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum,
Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.

Meaghan Mountford: “The Emotional Life of Candy Corn”

Happy National Candy Corn Day! Did you know that Candy Corn was invented in 1880 by an employee of the Wunderlee Candy Company named George Renninger and became an overnight success primarily due to its tri-colored appearance — an astonishing novelty at the time?

History!

Designer Tan Weihao Rios has created this incredibly cute-looking alarm clock, which will allow you to wake up or catch a bit more sleep. DOoP will help you figure out how many hours you’ve slept and how much sleep you’re getting, and how much you actually need. This sleep deficit is problematic for most people, as they become really inefficient due to lack of sleep. The red and green dials on the face will remind you where you are at. They will tell you how much sleep you need. There is also a countdown timer and a night light. DOoP will wake you up with sound and light, engaging more of your senses.

Hospitalized Children Without Insurance Are More Likely to Die, a Study Finds - nytimes article

“If you take two kids from the same demographic background — the same race, same gender, same neighborhood income level and same number of co-morbidities or other illnesses — the kid without insurance is 60 percent more likely to die in the hospital than the kid in the bed right next to him or her who is insured,” said David C. Chang
