For clinicians, these findings reinforce the importance of individualised decision making rather than a single preferred approach. For older adults who are tolerating statin therapy and wish to continue treatment, evidence from SAGA/SITE provides little reason to recommend routine discontinuation. Conversely, for patients who prioritise reducing medication burden, have limited life expectancy, have substantial polypharmacy, […]
Drawing on a nationally representative survey of 1,591 U.S. adults ages 22–75, this research uncovers a five-year difference between when current retirees, on average, actually left the workforce (age 57) and when future retirees expect to retire (age 62), with half of those planning to retire anticipating they’ll need to delay even further. Future retirees […]

The class disparity in happiness is nothing new. The GSS data reveal that college-educated men were happier than their less-educated peers going back to the 1980s.

I’m glad they survived! And what our pups?
Hydrangeas. When I learned how the baby plants (pups) are created by the parent I decided to try growing some. I tend to kill most things I try to plant in the yard. Hence my level of amazement that these little ones survived.
I hope to plant a hydrangea in my yard this year what do you recommend? I’d like to put it in the backyard where it’s pretty shady. It would get some afternoon sun. Do you think it might do OK there?
I’m not an expert on gardening and would normally defer to someone else to answer this question. But with the help of The Google I’ve learned some simple tips. Shady is good. This plant does not like full sun. Soil with good drainage. Prune off dead stalks as you head towards the winter months. And when you find little pups in the spring hiding beneath the parent canopy snip them off, extract from the ground and transfer to tiny pots to allow the root systems to grow.
