Background: Policies that promote aging in place are common in Sweden and many other countries. However, the current housing stock cannot sufficiently accommodate a population aging in place considering how functional capacity and housing needs change as people age. To be suitable for all regardless of their functional ability, housing should be designed or adapted to facilitate the performance of activities of daily living. Long-term planning and plausible projections of development 20 to 30 years into the future are needed.
Objective: The overall aim is to develop simulation models that enable long-term predictions and analysis of potential consequences in terms of societal gains and costs for different large-scale measures and interventions in the ordinary housing stock.
Methods: This study is designed as a simulation study and will broadly apply health impact assessment methods in collaboration with five municipalities in Sweden. Individual interviews and research circles were used to identify current and prioritize potential new policies to improve the accessibility of the housing stock. We will run a series of simulations based on an estimated willingness to pay from discussions with the municipalities. Two to three different prioritized policies will be compared simultaneously using Markov cohort analysis to estimate the potential costs and health impact on the population. Using data from a systematic review and existing population-based data sets with individual-level data on home and health variables, we will calculate parameter estimates for the relations between housing accessibility and health outcomes. The potential impact of selected policy interventions will be estimated in several microsimulations representing people living in the community. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted for each simulation.
Results: As of April 2022, open access data was collected, and a systematic review was underway and expected to be completed by November 2022. Collaboration with five municipalities was established in autumn 2020. In spring 2021, the municipalities developed a list of prioritized policy interventions to be tested and used in the simulation models. Inventories of barrier frequencies in ordinary housing started in spring 2022 and are expected to be completed in autumn 2022. Data gathering and analyses for simulation inputs will be completed during 2022 followed by the simulation modeling analyses to be completed in 2023.
Conclusions: Improved accessibility of the ordinary housing stock has the potential to maintain or improve the health of the aging population. This study will generate tools that enable long-term predictions and reliable cost-benefit estimates related to the housing adaptation needs for a population aging in place, thus providing support for the best-informed policy decisions.

Policies that promote aging in place are common in Sweden and many other countries. There is a widespread perception, corroborated by research findings, that older people often prefer to stay in their homes as long as possible [, ]. Moreover, from an economic perspective, aging in place is expected to reduce public expenditures. As people age in their homes—that is, in ordinary nonsheltered housing—the demand for more expensive and care-intensive sheltered housing is lowered [ ]. However, for aging in place to be tenable, ordinary housing has to be designed or adapted to the needs of people aging with disabilities and functional limitations, as these become more common with aging.
The standard of ordinary housing is generally high in Sweden, but to be suitable for all regardless of functional ability, there are specific demands put on the design, such as sufficient maneuvering space when using mobility devices, placement and design of controls, and operable hardware that make them easy to reach and operate. The housing environment should be designed or adapted in such a way that it facilitates the performance of activities of daily living (ADL). This degree of fit between the person’s functional capacity and the demands of the housing environment is often referred to as housing accessibility . As an example of the serious deficiencies of the existing ordinary housing stock among senior citizens (aged ≥65 years) living in multifamily dwellings, 50% are estimated to live in buildings that lack elevators [ ]. Additionally, in many buildings with elevators, residents still need to go up steps or other level differences to enter or exit the building. If not resolved, such problems could constitute fall risks, which may lead to injuries, disabilities, and increased societal costs. It is particularly important to have accessible entrances, so people with disabilities or functional limitations can get to places and activities outside the house and to care for basic needs such as shopping. Moreover, research results indicate that accessible housing that enables senior citizens to stay independent and active is associated with better health and well-being [ ], but a systematic overview of such scientific findings is currently lacking. Therefore, the accessibility of the ordinary housing stock must be improved as a matter of public health promotion and to ensure successful aging in place.
Even though building legislation and housing standards in Sweden have incorporated aspects of accessibility for at least 25 years , the production of new accessible dwellings is insufficient. More than 90% of senior citizens in Sweden live in ordinary housing, and of those, almost 80% live in less accessible dwellings built during or earlier than the implementation of a national program of massive multi-dwelling block construction in the 1960s and 1970s [ ]. The aging of the population in combination with the deficiencies in the ordinary housing stock thus calls for large-scale measures to improve accessibility [ ]. However, for such measures to be successful, they must be based on the best knowledge about the ordinary housing stock, the functional status of the population, and the costs, and feasible solutions will require cooperation among many stakeholders [ ]. New policies at the local and national level could serve as catalysts to promote such cooperation. Higher costs to build accessible housing and for housing adaptations are often seen as barriers. However, it is important to consider potential gains from improved housing accessibility, such as a presumed decrease in the need for home services because senior citizens can independently manage their ADL [ ].
To establish a housing stock that accommodates a population aging in place requires long-term planning and plausible projections of development 20 to 30 years into the future. In this respect, health economic models can serve as useful tools for decision makers, provided that the specificities of this policy sector are taken into account. Health economic models are widely used to extrapolate the costs and effectiveness of different interventions beyond trial data. Using the best available evidence, health economic models serve to compare relevant policy/intervention options, generalize results obtained in one setting to others, inform resource allocation decisions (also in the absence of “hard data”; ie, data from interventions actually carried out), and make head-to-head comparisons of alternative competing interventions.
Traditional health evaluation paradigms have not been used for evaluating typically interrelated interventions in the context of housing accessibility policies, so some exploration of different model options will be needed. Conventional systematic reviews could be used for simple interventions, but it would be difficult to apply in the context of more complex interventions or policies. Previous attempts have been made to improve decision-making in the field of public health (eg, the Disparities Elimination through Coordinated Interventions to Prevent and Control Heart and Lung Disease Risk Alliance applied the logical steps of the realist approach to the field of cardiovascular disease risk), but no evaluation method for understanding the impact of housing accessibility policies has been validated and applied. However, Slaug and colleagues  published a pilot study that estimated the potential impact on health-related outcomes by implementing a policy change regarding housing accessibility. This study demonstrated the feasibility and the potential of such an approach, and building on this experience, we aim to develop more sophisticated and realistic simulation models. These models will enable long-term predictions and estimates of costs and benefits related to policies designed to improve housing accessibility for a population aging in place.
Methodological and Theoretical Foundations
The methodological foundation of this study stems from the Housing Enabler , a methodology refined over 20 years of applied research [ ] and cooperation with actors in housing provision. The Housing Enabler is an internationally acknowledged instrument for the professional inventory of the functional capacity of individuals, environmental barriers in housing, and analysis of accessibility problems [ , ]. Using the ecological model of aging as the theoretical base [ ], the Housing Enabler operationalizes the relationship between a person’s capacity and the environmental demand [ ]. According to the ecological model of aging, a balance between the person’s capacity and the demand of the environment can be achieved by changing one or the other component, or both [ ]. Hence, even if the person’s functional capacity deteriorates, activity performance can be maintained or improved by lowering the demands of the environment. Moreover, persons with lower capacity are considered more sensitive to the demands of the environment than those with higher capacity.
The Housing Enabler quantifies the magnitude of accessibility problems based on a personal component and an environmental component analyzed in relation to one another. Accessibility problems emerge when the environmental demands exceed the functional capacity of the individual; for instance, stairs without handrails may create severe problems for individuals with poor balance. Accessibility is one (crucial) aspect to enable people with functional limitations to move around in the physical environment; to reach objects; to activate controls and functions, for example, on home appliances; and to manage day-to-day life at home. The validity, reliability, and feasibility of the methodology have been established through empirical studies of >2000 senior citizens and their dwellings across Europe .
Study Aim and Objectives
The overall aim is to develop simulation models that enable long-term predictions and analysis of potential consequences in terms of societal gains and costs for different large-scale measures and interventions in the ordinary housing stock. This will be achieved by addressing three objectives:
- Assess and evaluate societal gains of a more accessible ordinary housing stock
- Compare potential housing adaptations policies against other possible ageing in place policies (eg, additional home care or meals on wheels)
- Provide policy makers with powerful tools for preparing and making the most informed housing policy decisions
This study is designed as a simulation study and will broadly apply health impact assessment methods [, ]. Based on previous experiences (see [ ]), we will collaborate with several municipalities in an iterative process to identify and prioritize intervention options that have the potential to improve the accessibility of the ordinary housing stock. The interventions identified should be anticipated to have a positive impact on health. Several of the most promising interventions will be modeled to simulate the costs and health impact on the population. The different models will be demonstrated and discussed with municipal policy makers to enhance and promote the use of research-based decision-making.
Data is drawn from multiple sources as described in the sections below, and the study will focus on people 65 years and older living in ordinary housing in Sweden. Depending on the priorities identified by the participating municipalities, different subgroups from this larger population may be selected for different simulation models. People younger than 65 years with functional limitations (eg, due to neurological disorders) may also be targeted because an adequate housing environment is essential for them as well.

Data on costs for a comprehensive list of housing adaptations will be gathered by retrieving publicly available data (see) from the municipalities and by interviewing housing adaptation grant managers. The distribution of dwellings regarding building period and type of dwelling will also be gathered from the selected municipalities.

Input 2: Frequencies/Occurrences of Environmental Barriers in the Swedish Housing Stock
Physical environmental barriers are part of housing design features that can hinder ADL. For estimations of the frequency of occurrences of physical environmental barriers (see), we will mainly use detailed environmental barrier inventories of dwellings (N=1023) from three previous research projects (ENABLE-AGE [ ], Home and Health in the Third Age [ ], and Home and Health in Parkinson’s Disease [ ]). In all three projects, housing data was collected with the Housing Enabler [ ]. In the pooled data sample, 65% of the surveyed dwellings are apartments in multi-dwelling blocks and 35% are one-family houses. Different kinds of tenure are represented. The dwellings are situated in 34 municipalities in the south of Sweden (ranging from 7500 to 320,000 inhabitants), representing urban, semirural, and rural districts. Regarding the year of construction, 39% were built before 1960, 37% were built from 1960 to 1979 (a period in Sweden with massive multi-dwelling block construction), and 24% were built in 1980 or later (a period dominated by one-family house construction). The distribution between building periods and type of dwelling in our pooled data set largely reflects the distribution of the housing stock in Sweden as a whole [ ]. Different kinds of tenure are also represented. To use the data for projections at national and municipal levels, we will retrieve data on the distribution of building types, number of rooms, and year built from public sources from the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) in all the municipalities of Sweden. The research databases of environmental barriers will then be matched with national and municipal data, extrapolating environmental barrier frequencies. To validate the extrapolation results, a total of 50 dwellings in five selected municipalities will be inventoried with the Housing Enabler, which is for comparing actual barrier frequencies with frequencies obtained by extrapolating data from the existing research databases.
Input 3: Population-Based Functional Profiles
To estimate the prevalence and incidence of functional limitations in different age segments of the population, we will retrieve source data from open access databases (see). Other metadata from the most recent high-impact scientific publications and from publicly available statistics will also be applied in our estimations. All this data will be used to establish “functional profiles” that represent large groups of people having certain combinations of functional limitations in common [ ]. The population-based functional profiles will be used to calibrate the effects of potential interventions in terms of improved accessibility for different target groups. That is, interventions that address functional limitations such as limitations in movement, sensory impairment, or a combination of different functional limitations.
Input 4: Costs of Existing Services
To estimate the costs of existing home services, other services, and health care provision (eg, sheltered housing forms, institutionalized care, or medical care for fall accidents), we will gather data on different types of services and care, number of individual cases per year, number of hours delivered per year, costs per hour, etc. Data will be retrieved from publicly available sources such as Statistics Sweden; The National Board of Health and Welfare; annual economic reports; and other material from the government, municipalities, counties, or other societal institutions (see).
Input 5: Effects of Poor Accessibility on Independence, Health, and Well-being
Specific assumptions of relationships between the parameters (ie, effect sizes) in the simulation models will be derived from published research results. Parameters included will also cover aspects such as perceived health and well-being. Where no or insufficient results are available in the literature, we will use existing longitudinal data sets (see) to estimate the effects of different functional profiles on health and functioning over time. Our main effect of interest will be the risk of becoming dependent in activities of ADL [ ]. ADL is used because the costs for social services in the home setting are likely to increase with increased dependence (eg, need for home health/help services, meals on wheels, or similar). Our previous research has shown that those with more housing accessibility problems in the home are at higher risk of dependence in ADL [ ]. Further, higher dependency in ADL has shown to be associated with lower health-related quality of life [ ]. To measure effects in terms of accessibility, the Housing Enabler methodology [ , ] will be applied. As we are also interested in the general health and psychosocial relationships with accessibility, in a similar manner, we will identify/develop effect estimates for secondary outcomes of health and perceived well-being.
The simulations will estimate the cost to implement a new policy across Sweden and the potential savings achieved by preventing dependence in ADL. The policy that will be implemented in the simulation models will be selected from a prioritized list developed with representatives of five municipalities. In a subsample of five municipalities (Eslöv, Perstorp, Östersund, Örebro, and Vänersborg), individual interviews were held with municipality workers to understand their current housing adaptation policies and discuss alternative policy solutions. A prioritized list of new policies (eg, large-scale housing interventions, additional home care, or meals on wheels) was then developed through workshops with the same participants to be used in simulations. To involve the municipality workers more actively and to reach a deeper engagement, the workshops used the research circle methodology [- ]. This methodology aims to engage the participants in a joint effort to develop new knowledge and new ideas. The research circle methodology differs from the nearby focus group methodology in adopting an explicit participatory design focus where researchers and participants contribute with equal authority. That is, while focus groups are based on a group interview methodology, research circles represent a way to collaborate with users in the generation of new knowledge or new ideas. Research circles include a selected number of people with different backgrounds who meet several times for a predefined period of time in workshop sessions to discuss a common topic. By applying the research circle methodology, we aspire to nurture communication among participants with different backgrounds but with a common goal of generating suggestions for alternative policy solutions and a prioritized list of new policy suggestions to be simulated.
We will conduct a series of simulations to model the potential impact on health outcomes and costs of selected policy interventions based on principles of health economic modeling . Intervention costs will be calculated based on inputs 1 (costs of housing adaptations) and 2 (frequencies/occurrences of environmental barriers in Swedish housing stock) by combining the cost of adaptations (barrier removal or amelioration) with the frequency of the barriers in ordinary housing. This will then be adjusted to each of the specific interventions prioritized by the municipalities. Current costs (no new intervention) will be based on input 4 (costs of existing services). Input 3 (population-based functional profiles) will be used to identify target groups for intervention. We will then simulate models including the entire population compared with targeted interventions for people with specific functional profiles. Using a Markov cohort analysis, we will run a series of simulations based on the different profiles using an estimated willingness to pay from the discussions with the municipalities. Two to three different interventions will be compared simultaneously, and we will track the costs and benefits for 10 years with the following end points: independent in ADL, dependent in ADL, or death. Time until death will be estimated based on population statistics for life expectancy among the different ages represented in the simulation, and death will also be estimated based on the effects of poor accessibility identified in input 5 (effects of poor accessibility on independence [ADL], health, and well-being). Other end points and transitions will also be based on input 5. All simulated cohorts will have a starting state of independent and have transition states of independent, dependent, or death. It will also be possible to transition from dependent back to independent in the 10-year model.
Using existing data sets with individual-level data on home and health variables, we will also conduct several microsimulations representing those living in the community aged 80 to 89 and 67 to 70 years, and for those living with Parkinson disease (aged 45-93 years). The same basic model design will be used as described for the cohort analyses. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted for each simulation.
Following the principles of the Helsinki Declaration and current national legislation and policies on ethics for research involving humans, the study has been approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (2020-01643 and 2020-05871).
Five municipalities (Eslöv, Perstorp, Vänersborg, Örebro, and Östersund) were recruited in autumn 2020 as core partners in the study. A reference group consisting of selected policy makers, housing adaptation grant managers, older adults, and municipality workers involved in housing policy or housing adaptation issues was set up and has provided input for the study, with the first meeting in February 2021. During winter 2021, individual interviews with two key persons from each partner municipality were completed to understand current and future housing policies. In spring 2021, a research circle with the key persons from the municipalities, together with two older adults and three researchers, resulted in a priority list of policy suggestions to be tested and analyzed in the simulation models (see ).
As of April 2022, data from open access sources for input to the simulation models has been collected, and accessibility inventories on barrier frequencies in ordinary housing are ongoing since spring 2022 and are expected to be completed in autumn 2022. A systematic literature review on the evidence of associations between housing and health was registered in PROSPERO in March 2022. We anticipate the data collection and the systematic literature review to be completed by November 2022. Thereafter, we plan to continue with the simulation modeling analysis starting in late 2022, to be completed by summer 2023. Seefor a list of data sources for simulation inputs.
An ordinary housing stock that can accommodate an aging population is of utmost importance from a public health perspective, and improved accessibility of the ordinary housing stock has the potential to maintain or improve the health of our aging population. While accessibility issues have gained attention among policy makers and are now high on the political agenda [, ], the tools for preparing and making the most informed policy decisions are still largely lacking. By developing simulation models based on the best knowledge available, this project will provide policy makers at different societal levels with the tools they need. That is, tools that enable long-term predictions and reliable cost-benefit analysis related to the housing adaptation needs for a population aging in place, thus providing support for the best-informed policy decisions.
This study also concerns important gender issues, as there are significant differences between men and women with regard to housing conditions and financial possibilities on the housing provision market . Two-thirds of the men and just half of the women in the age group 65-74 years live in one-family houses that they own themselves. Considering those living in multi-dwelling blocks, approximately 85% live in buildings built before 1980 when housing construction was characterized by less concern for housing accessibility issues [ ]. With a longer life expectancy, women are also likely to live for a longer period of life in dwellings with accessibility problems. Only one in three women aged ≥75 years can afford to move to a newly built dwelling, while the corresponding number for men is two in three [ ]. Consequently, more women than men have to stay in less accessible dwellings, even though the functional decline means that accessibility problems gradually get worse. Though women tend to get housing adaptations more often than men, men tend to get more expensive housing adaptations than women [ ]. For these reasons, upgrading the existing ordinary housing stock in terms of accessibility would benefit women more than men and thus serve to promote equality.
A large proportion of immigrants and ethnic minorities live in the less accessible dwellings built during the period of the 1960s and 1970s implementation of a national program of massive multi-dwelling block construction. When people in these groups grow older, they are often already disadvantaged in terms of their social and economic situations. Additionally, if they have to cope with a housing environment that is not adequately designed for the needs of older people, it increases the risks for them to have health problems and lower quality of life. According to a recent report, inadequate housing affects vulnerable groups of the society disproportionately . Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the housing situation for these vulnerable groups.
Problems with housing accessibility are currently mainly addressed by housing adaptations that are typically granted after individuals have already started to have problems performing ADL. Approximately 74,200 housing adaptations are granted each year in Sweden, at a cost of more than US $100 million . Furthermore, many of these houses are restored to the preadaptation design after the person who had them granted moves from the dwelling. These practices will be unsustainable with the growing need for accessible housing, which calls for innovative and large-scale interventions. To support policy makers to take accurate and efficient decisions, it must be possible to evaluate and compare the cost-effectiveness of different interventions targeting the ordinary housing stock. By developing simulation models based on the best knowledge available, this study will provide policy makers at different societal levels with the tools they need, that is, tools that enable long-term predictions and reliable cost-benefit estimates related to the housing adaptation needs for a population aging in place, thus providing support for the best-informed policy decisions.
By using a simulation study design, we will be able to compare the effects of different housing policies to improve housing accessibility in scenarios based on projections of the demographic development, indicators of functional status of the population, data on housing design features that cause accessibility problems, and costs for a range of potential interventions. The use of simulation models such as Markov and microsimulation models  will enable us to answer “what if” questions, for example, related to what policies are most sustainable under critical conditions, such as “What happens when certain policies are applied if birth rates or immigration rates change drastically?” or “What are the probabilities for different outcomes under certain conditions?” Answering such questions is not possible using traditional methods such as empirical studies or randomized trials. Empirical studies can only provide knowledge of the effects of policies already applied, not those not yet applied, and intervention trials would be unfeasible, since the conditions for providing housing adaptations is regulated by law in Sweden and cannot be “experimented” with [ ]. Simulations in health sciences could therefore be considered as the equivalent to experiments in natural sciences.
The accuracy and credibility of simulation results are dependent on using the best available knowledge in the research field in question. Therefore, this study will gather both primary source data and metadata from established and verified databases, and apply the most up to date and high qualitative scientific results to formulate assumptions on the associations between parameters used in our models. Our contributions to the research area include this data collection and the building of new data sets, which will enable combining and analyzing existing data in new and innovative ways. Once established, the data sets can be continuously extended and updated, and the assumptions guiding the models can be refined as the knowledge field advances. The new data sets as well as the models we are developing will be of benefit to the research society and serve as incentive for further research.
The literature overview of scientific findings concerning relationships between the key parameters in the simulation models, that is person-environment interactions and health indicators, will be significant in itself as an overview of the best available research evidence. Moreover, this literature overview could serve as a starting point for more advanced meta-analysis projects in this area.
Dissemination and Use of Results
This project engages targeted knowledge users of the simulation models in the research process and throughout the project lifetime. Participatory integration of researchers and knowledge users can be seen as a way to bridge the gaps between theory and practice and between science and everyday experience . As an important part of the strategy for knowledge translation, we formed a reference group and are maintaining close communications with staff in the five municipalities. By working in a participatory manner, regularly discussing and analyzing the emerging results, we are striving to create new knowledge and understanding together. These knowledge users will take part in different knowledge translation activities. For example, workshops will initially be conducted to widen and deepen the knowledge among the end users about estimated frequencies of environmental barriers and their potential consequences for the aging population, housing adaptation costs, and so on. At later stages of the project, seminars and workshops will be arranged to present and discuss the simulation models, the results of policy simulations, and how to use simulations as a tool to support policy decisions. Through these joint activities, we will inform a wider public audience about the project and how it may support decision-making concerning improved accessibility of the ordinary housing stock.

PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or “PSID”) (OTCQB:PSID), a developer of biological detection and diagnostic solutions, has reignited the sales and marketing of the Caregiver® non-contact thermometer following its acquisition of Thermomedics, Inc. (“Thermomedics”), which markets the device. Caregiver is the world’s first non-contact, FDA-cleared, infrared thermometer approved for clinical use.
Caregiver is a user-friendly, hand-held device that when activated, inches away from the forehead, produces a highly accurate temperature reading in 1-2 seconds. Caregiver has been proven safe and reliable for use on adults, children and infants. The manufacturing and FDA expertise that the Thermomedics team brings to PSID is expected to be an invaluable asset while PSID continues development and testing of its Firefly Dx, a highly anticipated point-of-need, hand-held polymerase chain reaction (PCR) pathogen detection system. Thermomedics has established agreements with several leaders in the health care product distribution field, and recently signed on with five new distributors. This broad distribution network is expected to boost monthly sales and create additional near-term pipeline opportunities.
The non-contact thermometer industry has grown rapidly in the past few years, largely due to mass outbreaks of contagious diseases like Ebola and Zika where fever is an initial symptom. The non-contact feature of Caregiver greatly decreases chances of interpersonal contamination and spread. The hand-held, no-touch thermometer seems to have emerged as the most popular for Ebola screenings, doctors say, because it’s fast, easy to use, noninvasive, accurate, relatively inexpensive, and minimizes the chance of spreading illness. The Centers for Disease Control goes on to say, “No-touch thermometers are useful, in part, because they’re unlikely to pass infection from person to person.”
During the height of the Ebola outbreaks in Africa, many large airports in the United States used the Caregiver thermometer to screen passengers returning from travel in affected areas. Currently, the spread and concern surrounding the Zika virus has been widely publicized. Zika virus is a disease that usually occurs in tropical environments and is spread to humans primarily via mosquito bites. The symptoms are mild and can be initially confused with viruses from the same family such as dengue fever until the patient has undergone further diagnosis from health care professionals. The symptoms can include fever, joint pain, conjunctivitis, muscle pain and a rash. There is speculation that Zika can cause devastating harm to unborn fetuses when infection occurs during pregnancy.
Caregiver’s capability to revolutionize the way hospitals, airports, and virtually all arenas are able to record the temperatures of large volumes of people quickly, effectively, and in a non-invasive manner, could be a game changer for the health care industry. The non-contact thermometer market is growing exponentially around the world, and the market as a whole is projected to reach $1 billion by 2020.

VIDEO: Sheryl Crow and Chris Stapleton Release New Duet ‘Tell Me When It’s Over’
Stern Show guests’ collaboration appears on her star-studded Aug. 30 album “Threads”August 5, 2019
Sheryl Crow and Chris Stapleton have released the lyric video for their new collaboration “Tell Me When It’s Over,” a song on Sheryl’s upcoming album “Threads.”
While the duo has shared the stage in the past, “Tell Me When It’s Over” marks their first co-written original. The soulful slow-jam features guitar aplenty and the two taking turns singing the titular lyric “tell me when it’s over because I don’t want to be the last to know.”
The end is perhaps a fitting theme considering Crow previously announced “Threads” would be her final studio album. The pop country legend looks to go out with a bang, however, as her upcoming record includes all-star collaborations with fellow Stern Show guests Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Gary Clark Jr., James Taylor, Sting, and Willie Nelson as well as a recently released cover of Bob Dylan’s “Everything Is Broken” with Jason Isbell and a collaboration with recent Stern Show guest Joe Walsh (“Still the Good Old Days”).
Sheryl last joined the show in 2017 and opened up to Howard about past interactions with a variety of other A-list artists, including the likes of Prince, Michael Jackson, and Fleetwood Mac. Stapleton made his Stern Show debut the same year and his interview with Howard touched upon everything from his career to how an invitation to play at pop star Justin Timberlake’s birthday party eventually led to the two of them performing on stage together at award shows and collaborating on their song “Say Something.”
Sheryl Crow’s “Threads” is available Aug. 30.

Israeli forces have abducted at least 31 Palestinians in their raids on their homes in areas across the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli troops nabbed as many as 16 Palestinians in Nablus, 12 in Bethlehem, two in Ramallah and one in Jericho in their predawn raids on Palestinian homes on Wednesday, according to reports.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said that the Palestinians were seized from their homes for committing “illegal activity.”
Palestinian security sources said that Israeli soldiers “stole money and jewelry from” the house of one of the Palestinians in the village of Salem and smashed a private vehicle belonging to another one in the village of Azmout in Nablus.
Israeli regime forces regularly raid Palestinian homes and abduct residents across the occupied territories by applying the overused pretext of perceived security threats.
Earlier this month, Israeli forces carried out several night raids in the occupied West Bank and kidnapped two Palestinians near Tulkarem, three in Nablus, two in Ramallah, four near Bethlehem and four near al-Khalil (Hebron).
It is estimated that about 40 percent of the Palestinian male population has been arrested by Israeli regime forces at least once in life.
Nearly 7,000 Palestinian prisoners are currently being kept in Israeli detention centers, many without charge or trial.

Considering that the world is facing an unprecedented pandemic, everyone is very careful about what they eat these days. Junk food is being replaced by healthy and nutritious substitutes that strengthen the immune system. However, we tend to forget that in order for these nutrients to be absorbed by the cells in our body, our water levels need to be high. Water in blood helps transport oxygen to all the organs, thus supporting their various functions.
If you don’t hydrate yourself, you will allow mucus to build-up, kidney stones could form, you could get constipated and have an issue with acid reflux among other gut problems. Mind you, drinking copious amounts of water is not the only way to hydrate yourself. While it’s important to consume seven to eight glasses of water daily, you can complement this with fruits and vegetables that have a high water content, so that your body gets a boost of energy during these sweltering summer months. AskMen India lists seven that you should stock up on this season:
Having watermelon is the best way to hydrate yourself and beat the summer heat. The fact that it has a 91% water content is what makes this fruit so juicy. It is also packed with electrolytes like sodium, magnesium and potassium, which regulate the osmotic pressure in the body and prevent blood acidity. Moreover, the pigment lycopene contained in watermelon has antioxidant properties and protects you from the harmful rays of the sun. If you don’t like eating it whole, you can turn it into a milkshake or a salad dressing.
Cucumbers have the highest water content among all vegetables. 96% to be precise. Having said that, it is also loaded with micronutrients like phosphorus, magnesium and calcium, which make it a hydrating as well as a nourishing food for the summer season. Instead of having plain water, you can infuse it with cucumber pieces to give yourself a boost of energy. You can also add it to your salads, soups, dips and dressings.
Instead of munching on chips and chocolates to suppress food cravings, go for a healthy snacking option like celery. Considering that 95% of its weight is water, it contains very few calories and will help keep your weight in check. Besides, it is a rich source of micronutrients such as vitamin K, folate and potassium, which boost your metabolism despite the unbearable summer heat.
An all-season fruit that you should especially stock up on during the summer season are tomatoes. Although most people incorporate it in soups and curries, it’s great to have it raw, if you like its taste, that is. Its high water content (94%) prevents dehydration, whereas the lycopene contained in it protects your skin from sun damage. Tomatoes are also a good source of micronutrients like vitamin C and K, potassium and folate, which strengthen your immune system.
Peaches are a seasonal fruit that are harvested between April to June in India. A probable reason behind this is that its high water content serves as the perfect antidote to dehydration during the sweltering summer. Besides keeping your water levels in check, this fruit nourishes your body with the vitamins and minerals contained in it. It gives you a boost of energy and immunity.
The perfect ingredient for a green salad, iceberg lettuce hydrates and nourishes your body at the same time. It has a high water content and is super fibrous, which is a combination that majorly improves your digestion and overall gut health. Besides, it contains a considerable amount of vitamin C, calcium, potassium and folate, which boosts your metabolism despite the summer heat and strengthens your immune system. It keeps your energised like nothing else.
There is a reason why zucchini is also known as summer squash. Its 92% water content makes it the perfect choice of food during this season. It hydrates the body and keeps your energy levels high throughout the day. Besides, it’s fibrous texture improves digestion and your overall gut health. The vitamin A, C and K contained in it strengthens your immune system and fights infections and illnesses.
Gorge on these foods during the summer season and give yourself a much-needed boost of energy and immunity!

(Un)mask the creativity
As we have previously planned, we made masks with the Insan Anugerah kids. The perfectionist inside of me insists that all the DIY activities have to be done perfectly, or at least, to an ideal I planned out in my head. But the kids won’t always have the capability to paint or draw or trace or craft the way that other children can.
And today I'm reminded that there is no right or wrong in art.
The kids painted their masks to their heart's content — with an abstract line across the right eye-hole, a random spot of red in the middle of a flawless peach mask, or even painting over the pre-drawn patterns. They did not confine their imagination to the status quo, and I feel that it's not something everyone can do. Because if you compare them to the non-DS children of their same age, they'd mostly be colouring in the lines, drawing specific patterns because of the conventional notions of masks.
So in a way, it's a blessing to see the SIA children paint and draw limitlessly in the most simple, innocent way they are.

How to Move House Plants
House plants are a beautiful addition to any home, adding life and greenery to strategic corners of your bedroom, home office, and living room. If you have a big move coming up, you’re faced with the tricky task of moving your houseplants. It doesn’t help that house plants make the list of things your mover will not move – with the exception of very short-distance moves.
When you just can’t leave your orchids, bonsai tree, or Ficus behind – follow these tips on how to move house plants.
Prep Your Plants a Few Weeks Before the Move
Rid your houseplants of dead leaves and prune them back. Also, re-pot large plants in lightweight plastic pots to save your back during the move.
Place Small Plants in Open Boxes
The simplest option if you’re moving locally is to set small potted plants in open boxes and put the boxes in the back seat of your car. Be sure to cushion the spaces between each pot with newspaper or bubble wrap. Load up your plants last and unload them first when you arrive at your new home.
Prep Tall Plants Properly
For large palms, trees, and other plants that are too tall to stand upright in the car, pack sphagnum moss tightly into the top of each pot. Then, wrap the pot with plastic, being sure to cover the sphagnum moss up to the stem of the plant. Secure the plastic with tape or string and then load the plant into your car on its side. Your preparation should ensure that you don’t lose all the potting mix and make a big mess.
Monitor the Temperature & Soil Moisture Levels
Cold weather can be harmful to house plants, especially tropical ones. When moving in the winter, wrap plants with newspaper before loading them. If possible, pull your car into a garage and load the plants from there to reduce exposure to the cold. To prevent the soil from becoming too wet, water your plants for the last time a few days leading up to the move.
Hot weather can also be detrimental to house plants. Even in an air-conditioned car, it’s difficult to keep vegetation comfortable. Make sure each plant has enough water before and during the journey. If possible, bring your plants inside with you when stopping for long periods of time. If you must leave your plants in the car for more than an hour, keep the windows rolled down.
For long distance moves across state lines, you may be subject to Department of Agriculture inspections. State pest control efforts and local bans on growing particular vegetation may get in your way of transporting certain house plants. You may even need a special permit to transport plants more than 150 miles. When in doubt about the rules, ask your mover for advice.
Can’t Move Your Houseplants?
If you determine that you can’t take your house plants when you move, you still have a few options:
- Keep cuttings of your favorite plants, so you can attempt to re-grow them at your new house.
- Have a plant sale and use the proceeds to fund new house plants after you move.
- Give plants away to friends and neighbors who will take good care of them.

I live in California. It's full of beaches and lush trees. It's a beautiful state undoubtedly. My definition of beauty was limited to greenery,beaches,rivers and waterfalls so the moment I landed in Salt Lake City , seeing the deserted place, I really became skeptical about my decision of choosing Utah for the long weekend holiday. I could see nothing apart from desert and small succulents. I checked into my hotel (Comfort inn)which was situated in downtown. If anyone is coming from a crowded place like San Francisco, LA, New York I'd suggest to take hotel in downtown. It has all the restaurants with all kinds of cuisines..be it American, Chinese.

The impressive performance of the research in biology of mitochondrion has greatly improved our knowledge on the functions of this organelle and highlighted the influence its functioning has on numerous human phenotypes. In particular, many studies have focused on the involvement of mitochondrion function (and dysfunction) in human ageing. To date, the literature in this specific field of mitochondrial biology is so vast that it is often difficult to properly put new data and new findings in the right context. The present paper aims to review the findings of the last few years in order to outline a general framework to understand how mitochondria can affect ageing and how ageing affects mitochondria.

The web has published footage of a Russian anti-aircraft gunner shooting at a Chinese TY-300D missile from Igla-S MANPADS .
The video of the direct hit on the Web was posted by the Russian Ministry of Defense on its YouTube channel.

Installation of these tiles is relatively easy and can be done by a skilled professional or DIY enthusiast. The tiles can be installed using screws or nails, which are drilled into the roofing substrate. Once installed, the tiles offer a long-lasting roofing solution that requires very little maintenance.
In addition to their durability and strength, color coated steel galvanized steel sheet corrugated roof tiles are also an environmentally friendly choice. The use of galvanized steel reduces the need for other, less sustainable materials, while the paint coating ensures that the tiles are resistant to fading and discoloration.

Low radon concentration detection
Radonova has a wealth of experience from environmental monitoring of very low concentrations of radon gas, for example in connection with mining and prospecting for uranium. Our Rapidos® High-Sensitivity Radon Test kit allows measurement of radon levels from as low as 5 Bq/m3 over a two month measurement period. Rapidos® is also suitable for surveys of houses and buildings in areas where a very low radon concentration is indicated.
Rapidos® High Sensitivity Detectors, used for out-door measurements, should be placed inside a Protective Canister. The purpose-designed canister, which we offer separately, can hold either one or two detectors and is reusable. The recommended measurement period is 1-3 months, but shorter measuring periods can also be accepted for analysis.
A number of transit control detectors will also be enclosed with your delivery, these should remain in their radon-proof bags and not opened until the exposed detectors are ready for return to the laboratory. Transit control detectors allow us to accurately measure only the radon level present at the survey site and not any radon exposure experienced during travel to and from our laboratory.
