@PulaskiClerk How am I supposed to mail my ballot back when I haven’t even received it yet but submitted my application a month ago? #votersuppression

[Priya @pmgeri1]

@pallavipro_ @carolineiwilson @PulaskiClerk @ARSecofState @ACLU @clarketucker
These girls could not vote as mail in ballot was never received despite multiple tries and filling out all the right paperwork.
In fact it shows that not eligible to vote by mail, though they are out of state.

@carolineiwilson @PulaskiClerk I also never recieved my absentee ballot despite submitting a ballot request form twice. One over 6 weeks ago, only to get an email to resubmit the day before the Oct. 29 deadline. Resent the form before deadline, still never recieved absentee ballot. @ARSecofState @ACLU

Victims of elder fraud lost nearly $3.4 billion last year, with over 100,000 complaints filed, according to a newly released FBI report. The AARP is launching a nationwide public awareness campaign, urging people to speak out.

When I was a kid, my grandfather told me the story of the Buddha and the Angry Man.

It offers two powerful lessons that we all need to hear:

One day, the Buddha was walking through a village when a young man approached and began yelling at him.

"You are a fake! How can you claim to have wisdom to teach others? You know nothing!"

The Buddha paused and smiled at the young man, which further angered him.

"What do you have to say to me? I attack you and you just smile?"

The Buddha replied:

"If you buy a gift for someone and that person doesn't accept it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The young man, agitated, replied that the gift would still belong to him, because he was the one who had bought it.

The Buddha nodded:

"The same applies to your anger. If you come to me with anger, but I choose not to accept it, the anger still belongs to you. You are the only one who is moved by it."

I love this story.

It carries incredible wisdom for navigating the world in the modern age, where everyone seeks to draw you into their latest, greatest outrage.

Two lessons to internalize:

(1) Expressing anger often creates more damage internally than it creates impact externally.

(2) If someone comes to you with anger, always remember that you can CHOOSE not to accept it.

Worth thinking about as you navigate life in the days, weeks, and months ahead...

If you enjoyed this and learned something new, follow me @SahilBloom for more like it in the future.

An 80 year old man who lifts is as strong as a 30 year old man who doesn't.

After the age of 30 muscle mass decreases by approximately 3-8% every decade. This rate of decline becomes even faster after the age of 60.

This reminds me of my dad who decided to start lifting & running at 40 years old.

Now at the age of 76, his body and brain are as active as ever.

He doesn't need any form of assistance, he's living independently and doing it on his terms.

A couple sessions a week of weight training is the ultimate form of delayed gratification.

You're trading 90 minutes a week for a lifetime of mobility, strength, and brain health.

I'd make that trade in a heartbeat.

I know some people in their old age who look back and regret not taking better care of themselves.

They got to a point where there was no return.

You don't want to let that happen to you.

It's better to be the oldest person in the weight room than the youngest person in the nursing home.

Lift now so you can reap the benefits later.

During a study at Harvard in 1957, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could tread water.
On average they'd give up, sink and drown after 15 minutes.
But right before they gave up due to exhaustion,

the researchers would pluck them out,
dry them off,

let them rest for a few minutes and put them back in for a second round.

In this second try, how long do you think they lasted?

Remember, they had just swam until failure only a few short minutes ago...

How long do you think?

Another 15 minutes?

10 minutes?

5 minutes?

NO!

60 HOURS!

That's not an error.

That's right!

60 HOURS of swimming which is 2.5 DAYS!

The conclusion drawn was that since the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be
rescued,

they could push their bodies way past what they previously thought impossible.

I will leave you with this thought:

If an Unstoppable Belief can cause exhausted rats to swim for that long,

what could a Belief in yourself and your Capabilities Do for You?

Remember What you’re capable of.

Remember Why you’re here.

Keep swimming and

Never Ever Quit.

@geronsociety @AmerGeriatrics
Dear Geriatrics colleagues,
How many patients do you see in memory/ geri clinics in half day? And how many in a full day?
What is your panel size?
Thanks

[Priya @pmgeri1]

@hyderabaddoctor B12 deficiency in older adults can cause some issues with memory.. Check folate, lead, iron too.
I would be more worried about attention deficit too .
