Hello my good friend Valdemar Oliveira!

I am happy to hear you had a successfull heart operation. 

I hope you live to be 110.

I may not be so lucky! Colon Cancer is what my doctor prognosticated. This may be the last letter you will receive from me for a long while. If like you, I pass through, I will be more than happy editing and writing poems with you.

 Here is my English version of your poem.

FROM YOUTH TO OLD AGE.

  THE MYSTERIOUS ENERGY WE CALL TIME CONSTANTLY CHANGES AND NEVER ENDS...

BUT DOES HOLD MOMENTS OF TRUTH FOR HUMANS...

WHEN WE THINK ALL IS WELL AND WE ARE HAPPY WITH OUR HABITS...ZIP...SOMETHING DIFFERENT HAPPENS...AND SUDDENLY WE NEED HELP!!

IF FATE DETERMINS OLD AGE WON'T KILL US, AND WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE GOOD PEOPLE READY TO HELP, WE CAN CONQUER DISEASE AND RETURN TO OUR ROCK STEADY AND HAPPY OLD AGE LIVES!

 

From Eric Barker...How to live a long and awesome life.

 

Here’s how to live a long awesome life:

• Socialize: Instead of staring into the soulless eyes of your smartphone, spend more time with friends. And play mentor to people who see the early 2000s as “vintage.”
• Exercise And Sleep: Avoid the sweet, seductive embrace of the couch. Hit the gym and get 8 hours of sleep. This is the path to cerebral salvation.
• Diet: Health does not reside in the ludicrous promises of anti-aging creams that cost more than your first car or in the meditation apps that gently coax you into a panic about not being calm enough. Give the principles of the Mediterranean diet a shot.
• Cognitive Challenge: You want “productive engagement.” Reading smart books is like mental yoga. It stretches you. It strengthens you. And you may find yourself in some uncomfortable positions. Or have polite disagreements -- which is more like mental MMA.

So what can you expect if you actually do all of this? Researchers performed a two-year study with older folks. Subjects ate a Mediterranean-style diet. They did 2-3 hour-long sessions per week of aerobics or strength training. They played a variety of games to challenge their minds. What happened?

At the end, memory scores were 40% better than those who didn’t participate. Executive function – brainpower – was 83% better. Processing speed shot up 150%. Meanwhile, overall cognitive performance of the control group got 30% worse over the two years.

In many ways, this handful of changes made people feel like they were younger again – and that, in itself, is a very powerful tip. Studies show people who feel younger perform better on cognitive tests. The magic number is twelve. People who feel 12 years younger than they really are crush it on tests of brainpower.

The next time someone tells you to act your age, tell them to stuff it. Think back to your younger years and relive them. Nostalgia, that warm, fuzzy blanket woven from the threads of "back in my day" is actually useful. Numerous studies demonstrate its power. When you reminisce with romantic partners, the two of you grow emotionally closer. Nostalgia makes us more generous, more tolerant of outsiders and more connected to others.

So feel younger, act younger and be a little nostalgic today. I’ll help you get started: remember mixtapes? Those were like the original Spotify playlists, except making one for someone was the equivalent of saying, "I'm willing to spend three hours in front of my stereo, risking carpal tunnel to express my feelings for you." And now, science says reminiscing about that painstaking process is akin to giving your brain a big ol' hug.

Who's up for a mixtape exchange party?

(I'll bring the pencils for when the tapes inevitably unravel.)

Is Canadian Bill c-37 Billshit? Do we need a stronger government Bill?

Nelson, You may have missed that the government just introduced Bill C-73 this past week, which is legislation meant to tackle our biodiversity crisis. [1] We have been pushing for a new nature protection law, but unfortunately, this Bill is like throwing a bucket of water on a burning house.   Despite the Trudeau government's repeated promises to introduce a law protecting nature [2, 3], accompanying their initial pledge at the 2022 international conference in Montreal to halt biodiversity loss by 2030 and meet other targets set by the Global Biodiversity Framework [4], we've seen little progress.   Now, with the introduction of this “Nature Accountability Act”, we are deeply concerned that it may be another empty promise while our biodiversity crisis continues unabated, all under Trudeau’s watch; the Bill lacks specific targets, fails to integrate with existing laws, does not prioritize Indigenous sovereignty, and ultimately lacks the legal force necessary to drive real change. We desperately need to strengthen Bill C-73 to ensure it becomes a powerful tool for nature protection before the next Global Convention on Biological Diversity in October. Will you tell Justin Trudeau we need a STRONG nature law instead of empty promises? Speaking out now is critical because this is the first time the bill has been introduced, and it is still early in the legislative process where your voice can make a difference. Send a tweet to tell Justin Trudeau to pass a STRONG law to protect nature  Nelson,  in the middle of a biodiversity crisis—with over 2000 species at risk across Canada—the Nature Accountability Act needs to actually meet the goals and targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework, ensure they are met in decisions taken across government, and prioritize Indigenous rights and overall access to nature. [5] Without these critical amendments, the bill is just a bucket of water on a raging inferno.   I know you’ve already signed our petition advocating for a new nature law, so will you send out a tweet to urge the Trudeau government to strengthen Bill C-73? Tell Trudeau it’s time for STRONG ACTION to protect nature, not just empty promises  This year’s international conference on biodiversity is a crucial opportunity for countries to showcase their progress in meeting global nature protection goals. Canada, with its rich wildlife, forests and oceans, should be showing leadership when it comes to nature protection on the global stage. Instead of another empty promise, let’s urge Trudeau to take strong and impactful action. The clock is ticking. Together, we can turn a bucket of water into a tidal wave of change.   Here’s to making a real impact, Léanne Digital Campaigner, Greenpeace Canada Sources: [1] Nature bill welcome, needs work to ensure Canada meets its targets, Greenpeace Canada, 13 June 2024 [2] Nature groups give high marks for Canada’s new commitment to a high ambition action plan to halt and reverse nature loss, 15 December 2022, Greenpeace Canada [3] Government of Canada takes action to restore and protect nature with commitment to introduce a nature accountability bill in 2024, 9 Dec 2023, Government of Canada  [4] Reaction of Greenpeace Canada to the final COP15 deal, Greenpeace Canada, 19 December 2022 This email was sent to: human4usbillions@gmail.com.
