Beyond their versatility, tiny homes typically have multifunctional furniture, including fold-down tables, convertible sofas, and Murphy beds. Because of the small space, tiny homes are commonly built vertically, with sleeping areas accessible by built-in ladders or stairs.

The verticality is definitely not senior friendly. Where’s the bathroom? But despite the obvious disadvantages for a person of my vintage, serious downsizing remains highly attractive. All I’m trying to do is make our retirement income last as long as we last. Hon, what do you think?
Rejected. Again.

Meta is testing an app that uses AI to automate bedtime stories for children. The future is here, folks — and boy, is it depressing.
The app, first caught by 9to5Mac, is called “StoryKit.” (It’s not yet available in the US; Meta confirmed to TechCrunch that it’s currently testing StoryKit in pilot countries.) Per a webpage for the app, parents pick a character either by creating one or taking a “photo of their favorite toy or person to bring them to life,” then describe a setting or world for the story to take place in. They can also ask the story to include a specific lesson or moral, which the app says will allow it to “weave in values like kindness, courage, or empathy without it feeling like a lecture.”

The Anti-Aging Drug We Keep Calling a Weight-Loss Shot
Some U.S. employers use local third-party agencies to hire Filipinos with nursing experience, while others insist on American nursing licenses.But for many virtual healthcare assistants, including telesitters, a degree in any medical field will do. The remote nurses, who usually work the graveyard shift at night from their homes or offices in the Philippines, earn between $5 and $10 per hour, compared to the average pay of more than $45 an hour for registered nurses in the U.S.
The country has grown into a “clinical process outsourcing powerhouse … [and] a premier global hub for supporting over-stressed international healthcare systems,” JL Botor, president of HIMAP, told Rest of World.
U.S. hospitals and clinics can save up to 70% in labor costs by hiring Filipino workers, said Botor, who expects the industry to expand due to the chronic labor shortage, as well as the growing use of AI. Companies will automate easier tasks such as note-taking, and lean more heavily on human oversight for other tasks, he said. He declined to name the U.S. hospitals and clinics that outsource work to the Philippines, citing confidentiality agreements.

Yes, I loved writing the click bait title to this post.
Americans of all ages now spend far more time on screens, crowding out time that might otherwise be spent with a book. This trend too shows a similar socioeconomic divergence: Specifically, adults with high school education or less are four times more likely to be smartphone-dependent (24%) than college graduates (6%).

Yikes.
In this prospective cohort study, resistance training among US adult health care professionals was associated with substantially lower T2D risk, particularly when performed consistently over midlife and combined with adequate aerobic activity and limited sedentary television viewing. These findings support the inclusion of resistance training as a key component of lifestyle recommendations for diabetes prevention.
