Flipboard Art & Photo Desk<p>6,000 homes were destroyed in Altadena, L.A. County, by the recent wildfires. In many cases, all that remains standing is the chimney and fireplace — often covered in tiles designed by artist Ernest Batchelder. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@Dwell" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Dwell</span></a></span> writes about a grassroots movement to salvage some of those tiles — and the history of the storied neighborhood. "Whether you’re grieving a person or, in this case, a house filled with memories, it helps to have something that you can physically hang on to," says Brenda Davidge. "Having the tile helps us with moving forward because while we know the house and everything that was in it is gone, the tiles are a physical reminder that the fire didn’t take everything, that these things have lasted a hundred-plus years and made it through that crazy fire so they can keep going beyond that too."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/TSNEcY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/TSNEcY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Architecture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Design</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/LAFires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LAFires</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wildfires</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Home" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Home</span></a></p>

Flipboard Culture Desk<p>In the summer of 1956, 15-year-old Kathy Kohner Zuckerman learned to surf, and she recorded her experiences of riding waves and the people she met in a diary. Everyone had a nickname — Tubesteak, Lord Blears, Thrifty Phil — and Kathy wanted one too. Soon, she became Gidget, a portmanteau of "girl" and "midget." Her story went on to become a series of novels, a movie starring Sandra Dee, an ABC series starring Sally Field, a stage musical co-written by Francis Ford Coppola, and more. And, Defector's David Davis argues, it also was an inflection point in surf culture, turning it from "a sleepy pastime to a billion-dollar mainstream commodity." Kohner Zuckerman dipped out of the limelight in the 1960s before re-embracing it over the past couple of decades. Davis spoke to her about her early experiences, her unique place in American culture, her life as Gidget and beyond, and what she saved from the LA fires that razed her home of 60 years.</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/lJhmOm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/lJhmOm</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Gidget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gidget</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/PopCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PopCulture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USCulture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/KathyKohnerZuckerman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KathyKohnerZuckerman</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/LAFires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LAFires</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Television" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Television</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/TV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TV</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Film</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Surf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Surf</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Surfing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Surfing</span></a></p>

Because the rebuilding process after a wildfire, hurricane heavy rain disaster has to be informed by these sustainability strategies. And all scientists who're asked by journalists for a reaction to such a disaster must start including this particular information to educate the population about how far beyond the planet's carrying capacity each of them is living - which is directly driving the dynamics in the present disaster.</p><p>When emotions are high the brain forms memories.
