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.

'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...

Caterpillar Uses Bad Breath As Defense Mechanism: Nicotine-Laden Halitosis Scares Off Spider [VIDEOS] :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>The tobacco hornworm, a kind of moth larva that feeds on tobacco plants, has a special trick up its sleeve for scaring off predators: bad breath.</p>
<p>German scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology have found that the tobacco hornworm retains some of the nicotine in the tobacco plant in its body, and "puffs" it out to warn away those that would make a meal of it. The researchers also found a genetic switch that could turn off the caterpillar's defenses, curing its bad breath but making it much more likely to be gobbled up.</p></div></div></div>
