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.

'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...

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. Speak in terms of energy security, risk, air pollution, health and not climate change, green, o...
