As she turns 103, ‘nothing tastes better at a party than crab cakes and beer’
WAPO - On Mary Barnes’s 103rd birthday, she had only one request. Actually, two. She told her family and friends that she wanted to celebrate her big day with crab cakes and beer.
“That’s always been my favorite,” said Barnes, a World War II Navy veteran who hit her century-plus-three milestone on Sunday. “Nothing tastes better at a party than crab cakes and beer.”
Dutch Supermarket Adds “Slow Checkout Lanes” for Senior Citizens Who Could Use a Chat
MyModernMet - Loneliness is one of the main issues that affects senior citizens around the world, especially in urban settings where everything is fast paced and increasingly digitized. That's why a Dutch company came up with an idea to combat this from a very common front: the grocery store checkout. Jumbo, a Netherlands-based supermarket chain with over 700 stores, introduced a Kletskassa, which translates to “chat checkout,” a special lane for customers who are not in a rush and could use a little talk with the cashier.
Observation - Brilliant. Of course, I can almost imagine trying to introduce this in the U.S. where we want to be at the next place before we’re done at the first place!
Social isolation raises risk of dementia, but technology may help
UPI - "Socially isolated older adults have smaller social networks, live alone and have limited participation in social activities," said study co-author Alison Huang, a senior research associate at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. "One possible explanation is that having fewer opportunities to socialize with others decreases cognitive engagement as well, potentially contributing to increased risk of dementia."
In the other study, researchers found that communications technology, such as telephones and email, lowered the risk for social isolation.
Observation - I am convinced that Sage Stream reduces the risk as well when you use interactive chat to engage viewers and make them feel they are part of the show. Just ask Michelle.
