Excess winter deaths rose by a third last winter :: Conclusion
If you are 65 or over, it is important to spend most of your time in a warm environment during the winter months. There are a number of things you can do to cope in cold weather.
Keep your main living room at around 18-21°C (65-70°F) and the rest of the house at least 16°C (61°F). If you can't heat all the rooms you use, heat the living room during the day and the bedroom just before you go to sleep.
Make sure you are receiving any benefits you are entitled to, such as the Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment.
Regular hot drinks and eating at least one hot meal a day will help keep energy levels up during winter and keep your body warm. 
Finally, make sure you get the seasonal flu jab. While not 100% guaranteed, it should reduce your vulnerability to infection...

'We police it ourselves': Group processes in the escalation and regulation of violence in the night‐time economy :: Abstract
The attempt to regenerate city centres has led to the creation of a 'night‐time economy' (NTE) based around alcohol‐led entertainment. This has been accompanied by an increase of violence. Using insights from social identity research on collective action, we argue that NTE violence can be viewed as a group‐level phenomenon. Twenty focus groups were conducted with participants who socialise together (total number of participants = 53). Participants discussed their experiences of the NTE, including violence. A thematic analysis of the transcripts drew out four ways in which NTE violence is discussed in group terms: intergroup violence, intragroup violence, intragroup intervention (escalation) and intragroup intervention (regulation). The analysis reveals that groups ca...

Highlights from this issue :: Warning systems and ethics I can't remember an issue of Archives with greater breadth in every sense: geographical; biomedical and philosophical. Once assimilated, though, two distinct themes became clear; warning systems and ethics within child health which share similar uncertainties. Screening systems for adverse outcomes invariably entail difficult decisions; the trade off between over ‘identification’ of pathology, poorer specificity and greater economy with the risk of missing real cases, poorer sensitivity. Three papers demonstrate the tension in different ways. Three further papers, examine ethical equipoise from different angles: new techniques for previously incurable disease; the legal nuances of parental responsibility and the unique vulnerability of adolescents.

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:&bull; Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).&bull; E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

13 tips on building a coalition to tackle climate change :: How do you foster effective cross-sectoral cooperation to end climate change? Our expert panel suggests you might want to start by watching your languageTerry Townshend, deputy secretary general: policy, The Global Legislators Organisation (Globe International), Beijing, China. @terrytownshendIf you want to get the political establishment on board, watch your language: I think the biggest obstacle to effective climate action has been political, largely driven by ideology and the power of rich corporations over politicians. Political campaign finance reform is absolutely necessary but, until that happens, climate change objectives need to be expressed in language that is not politically divisive.
