"Many have passed away, and those who are still here are called
"the elderly.""
We were born in the 40s-50s-60s.
We grew up in the 50's-60's-70's
We studied in the 60s-70s-80s.
We were together in the 70s-80s-90s.
We got married or not and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s.
Adventuring into the 80s - 90s
We're settling in to the 2000s.
We became wiser in 2010s.
And we’re going strong into 2020 and beyond.
Turns out we went through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennials...
We've gone from phone with operator for long distance calls, pay booths, video calls worldwide.
We’ve gone from slides to YouTube, vinyls to online music, handwritten letters to emails and Whats App.
Live games on the radio, black and white TV, color TV, then HD 3D TV.
We went to the video store and now watching Netflix.
We've known the first computers, punch cards, disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts all through our childhood, then trousers, ep pants or mini-skirts, Oxfords, Clarks, Palestinian scarves, jumpsuits, and blue jeans.
We avoided childhood paralysis, meningitis, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We've done roller skating, roller skating, tricycle, bicycle, moped, gasoline or diesel and now we drive hybrids or electric.
We played with the little ones
horses and checkers, ostrich and marbles, 1000 threshold and monopoly, now there's candy crush on our smartphones
And we read... much
And our schoolmates religion was not a subject...
We used to drink tap water and lemonade in glass bottles, and the vegetables on our plate were always fresh, today we get meals delivered
Yes, we have been through a lot but what a beautiful life we have had!
They might describe us as “ex-annuals”; people who were born in this 50s world, who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood.
We should add the Biological Revolution that we have witnessed. In 1960, biology was very descriptive. We have witnessed the event of Molecular Biology: the molecules of Life have been discovered: DNA, RNA etc. When you see everything that has come from it: gene therapy, gene fingerprints, and others the progress is considerable.
We kind of have "seen it all"!
Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
This is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE".
A big congratulations to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE.. "

In Montreal, Canada, one innovative grocery store is leading a quiet revolution in sustainability. Instead of relying solely on supply chains and trucks, they’ve turned their rooftop into a thriving urban farm. Lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, and other produce are grown right above the shoppers’ heads, reducing food miles to almost zero and ensuring peak freshness.

This eco friendly model is more than a marketing gimmick, it’s a blueprint for how cities can evolve. With urban land becoming scarcer and environmental awareness rising, rooftop farming could be the future of local food production. It’s a win for the environment, a win for consumers, and a bold reimagining of what a grocery store can be.

Six people have been criminally charged with a fraud scheme that allegedly generated more than $66 million in unauthorized transactions under the food stamps program, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says. "This is not the one and only. There are going to be many more to come, and we're gonna make sure that we're delivering on our promises to the taxpayers."

Zem, a solar-powered car built by Dutch students at Eindhoven University, captures 2kg of CO₂ per 1,000 miles using onboard filters.

Crafted from recycled 3D-printed plastics, it generates 15% of its energy from solar panels.

This innovative vehicle not only cuts emissions but actively cleans the air, redefining eco-friendly transport.

Some might disagree, but it's worth thinking about more than once. 🇺🇸 🔥
👉Back in my day, we tilled the soil with our hands, fed our families from the land, and fed this nation too.
America grew strong on the backs of its farmers. If you want this country to stand tall, you’ve got to stand behind the folks who grow your food. Support the American farmer. Keep our fields full, our pantries local, and our pride homegrown

In Japan, it is indeed common practice for students to clean their schools as part of their daily routine.

This tradition is known as “o-soji”, which means "cleaning" in Japanese. Rather than employing a large janitorial staff, schools assign students specific cleaning duties—such as sweeping classrooms, mopping hallways, and tidying bathrooms and school grounds.

This practice is rooted in Japanese cultural and educational philosophy, which emphasizes community responsibility, respect for one's environment, and character development.

The aim isn't just to maintain hygiene, but to cultivate discipline, humility, cooperation, and a sense of ownership over shared spaces.

It aligns with the broader societal value that everyone—regardless of age or status—should contribute to the upkeep of their surroundings.

It's important to note, however, that some cleaning staff do exist in schools for more technical or deep-cleaning tasks. The primary day-to-day maintenance is typically student-led.

This approach has attracted global interest as a unique model that links moral education with practical responsibility, setting a behavioral foundation that many Japanese students carry into adulthood.

💛 This is what real impact looks like.

A Canadian millionaire, Marcel LeBrun, sold his tech company and used millions of his own money to build 99 tiny homes for people experiencing homelessness in his hometown of Fredericton.

It’s not just housing. Each home is fully equipped, solar-powered and part of a supportive, gated community. Residents also have access to job training, workshops, and a community centre with a café and enterprise spaces. The project is called 12 Neighbours, and it’s changing lives by restoring dignity, opportunity and hope.

This is how you use wealth for good. Massive respect. 🙌
