“As nearly-nude models sell the product, of course lingerie brands reflect the zeitgeist”, agrees the brand’s co-founder Miranda. “What’s good nowadays is the increasing variety of identities that women can see reflected back to them and the ability to find a lingerie brand that matches their own social attitudes; some women still love a push-up bra, and that is completely acceptable and not to be judged.”

S*x still sells, but it needs to be presented as something empowering for the wearer, not for the gratification of the gaze, it seems. Or as Serena Rees puts it: “It is about understanding that the only person who can validate you is you, that’s what’s changed; sexiness now is about being confident and comfortable being yourself”.

And there's the emotional toll all of this takes, too.

"We've got families actually turning their cookers off, their televisions, their heating. The only thing they've got on is a fridge," says Billy McGranaghan, founder of Dad's House, a charity supporting single fathers in the UK. He also runs two foodbanks, open to anyone, in London.

"It's destroying a lot of families' relationships," he adds. Some households are "walking on eggshells" because there's no money to pay for a child's much-needed new shoes, for example. While tensions rise, parents watch the money in prepayment gas meters tick steadily downwards, knowing that the heating will soon run out again, McGranaghan says.

It is worth remembering that, instead of emergency interventions, improving the fabric of people's homes, and the heating systems within them, can have a significant effect, says Jörg Huber at the University of Brighton.

He and colleagues published a study earlier this year that detailed the responses of nearly two dozen people in Hastings, England, who took part in a scheme that supplied better heating or insulation to properties in the town. In total, 149 people benefitted from the project. Some received draught proofing or a new boiler, for instance.

The rush of river currents and the sound of waves washing ashore fall into the category of “pink noise". Like white noise, pink noise is made up of all the sound frequencies audible to the human ear – but with less volume at the higher frequencies. It has been found to aid sleep and improve memory.

Some experts argue that entering the water provides yet another level of healing. Immersive activities like swimming or surfing induce a sense of environmental attunement – feeling connected to or even part of the environment.

At the Taputeranga Marine Reserve in New Zealand, just a stone's throw from Wellington’s city centre, a programme by the non-profit environmental trust Mountains to Sea Wellington gives young Māori people the opportunity to engage with their marine environment by immersing them in the Island Bay Snorkel Trail.

Every couple of months, 68-year-old Little climbs up a short ladder to clear the leaves from her home's gutters. "They always clog the little hole where the water goes through," she explains, referring to the opening between the gutters and the downspout.

The downspout funnels the rainwater that falls on her rooftop into a 1,300-gallon (4,900-litre) plastic cistern in her backyard. She has two of them, and in late September both were almost full, fed by the abundant summer monsoon rains.

The runway that's now mobbed with wind-karters and joggers took shape in 1923 when Tempelhof opened as the first civilian airport in Europe. Then, of course, came the N***s, and if you push past the tarmac towards the hulking, crescent-shaped terminal, you'll see why British architect Norman Foster once dubbed Tempelhof "the mother of all airports". Designed as a sprawling testament to N**i ambition, the airport was to be a centrepiece of Hitler's planned world capital of Germania, a glorious A***n utopia built on the rubble of impure Berlin. The central terminal building stretches 1.2m – a length that once placed it among the 20 largest buildings on Earth. (Ironically, it was also once home to the world's smallest duty-free shop.) Guided tours reveal just how little the airport's interior has changed and are a flashback to the golden age of air travel, with its retro check-in desks, analog clocks and neon signs.

Determining risk factors for SIDS is important. It's saved thousands of lives. But it doesn't get at the cause of SIDS, or provide a cure.

"My day job is dealing with families who have gone through this. On their behalf, and on mine, I'd say, 'Do everything you can'," Goldstein says. "But, as researchers who want to eradicate SIDS, we want to know what the terminal cascade is so we can directly address it."

Seaweed grows in low light, meaning it can be protected from hazardous UV by submerging growing lines to greater depths. Species like wakame, kelp, emi-tsunomata and Welsh favourite laver are a more efficient machine, when compared to fish, for converting limited resources to valuable nutrition for humans.

Bivalves like clams, mussels and oysters are excellent sources of iron, the most common nutrient deficiency among humans worldwide.

Chef Kentaro Ikuta at the newly opened AMA Sushi inside the Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel in Montecito, California, leans into this notion of kaizen when considering the fish and Wagyu he's serving to customers. "I am a family man, passionate about my craft and the constant [search for] perfection [while] being aware that perfection never comes. Every day, when I shine my knife… or use my hands to measure the salt and the vinegar in the rice, I know that one millimetre or one-gram counts and I am aware how much a little detail can make the difference in my life and in the world around me."

"The world is radically different now than it was in centuries past – particularly if you go back many centuries," says Cotton-Barratt. "I do think it's very possible that the world could be radically different again." Building a world where "we are robustly well-prepared to face whatever obstacles come" is therefore not just prudent – it is also necessary if we want our great-grandchildren to live in a better world than we can currently imagine, he argues.
