TIDBITS® LEARNS ABOUT GEOGRAPHY by Janet Spencer Come along with Tidbits as we are amazed by geography! COUNTRY TRIVIA • Based on land mass, Vatican City, headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, is the smallest country in the world, spanning just 0.2 square miles. The Vatican is about 120 times smaller than Manhattan. • Russia is the biggest country in the world, consisting of 1/8th of the world’s inhabited land area. Russia spans 11 time zones, so at one end of the country it’s 7:00am while at the other end it’s 6:00pm. Russia has more surface area than Pluto. • Canada is the second largest country in the world, so it may not come as a surprise that it has a lot of lakes. But it actually has more than half of all the natural lakes in the world. 9% of the country is covered in fresh water. • Being its own continent and completely surrounded by water, you’d think Australia would be the country with the longest coastline. However, that title goes to Canada. Canada has 152,100 miles (244,781 km) of coastline, compared to Australia’s 16,000 miles (25,750 km). In fact, Australia ranks 7th on the list of the world’s longest coastlines, behind Indonesia, Greenland, Russia, Philippines, and Japan. (cont)

Having a yard sale? Here's a great way to put out extra signs when you don't have a way to stake them into the ground: "Write your sign advertising your yard sale on the sides of a big box. Place it where you want it, and add a large rock to the inside, then tape shut. We did this when we had no poles to tape signs to or any other way to get them to stand up. It worked really well!" -- D.R. in Georgia

Look Into Crowdfunding to Rehome Inherited Pets DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I'm writing in regard to the person who "inherited" her relative's pets but is unable to keep them. While directly posting the pets for adoption on social media may not be a good option for all of the reasons you previously listed, I do think there's an opportunity for Sherrie to harness the reach of those platforms to raise the money she needs to get them rehomed properly and to cover their medical care. I'm continually amazed (and encouraged) by the kindness of strangers on GoFundMe pages for pets. -- Lauren P. DEAR LAUREN: That's certainly an option to cover the cost of their care. Crowdfunding is an increasingly popular way to quickly raise cash to cover pets' medical needs and care needs. GoFundMe has dedicated a page with several ideas for pet funding: https://www.gofundme.com/c/fundraisingideas/pets, and there is even a pet-specific crowdfunding organization, Waggle: https:// www.waggle.org, which helps owners raise money for pets' medical procedures. To crowdfund a pet's care and treatment, do plenty of research first. Look at active fundraisers to see what messages are effective and double-check the rules about pet fundraising at each crowdfunding site. To rehome a pet, there is at least one online resource that may be helpful. Adopt-A-Pet and Petco's rehome service (https:// rehome.adoptapet.com/) is a go-between service that helps owners connect with people who are looking to adopt. I still recommend that Sherrie contacts the local shelter to get information about rehoming or, if all else fails, surrendering the pets safely to the shelter. But the above options may be a great help as she hunts for new owners for her relative's pets. Send your questions, tips or comments to ask@pawscorner.com.

ALLERGY POINTS OF INTEREST This time of year, people are running to the pharmacies and acupuncturists looking for ways to offset the miserable effects of allergies. Right now, we are vacillating between wind-blown pollens that trigger allergies, and the persistent rains that create mold-related allergies. Either way, it is distressing. Before grabbing for a bottle of medications, you may want to consider the risks. Certain allergy medications (as well as some antidepressants and bladder control drugs) block a brain chemical called acetylcholine. They are referred to as anticholinergic drugs. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is important for brain function. The worst appears to be diphenhydramine (Benedryl). Short term side effects can include sedation, increased fatigue, sleepiness, decreased motivation, low blood pressure, drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty urinating. Impaired cognitive functions such as alertness, confusion, attention deficits, decreased executive function, reduced reaction time and lack of vigilance are also problems. Long term detriments include up to 54% increased risk of dementia. Also observed in the studies was an increased risk for delirium, disorganized speech, altered consciousness, all of which has a greater risk if the person has liver or kidney impairment and the elderly. Contrast that with acupuncture. According to the millions of patients having received acupuncture for their allergies, asthma and other respiratory disorders for literally thousands of years, and also according to research published in American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy found that acupuncture was not only safe, but extremely effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (allergy symptoms). The researchers then noted
“Our meta-analysis showed that (the) acupuncture group has (a) superior effect in reduction of both rhinitis symptoms and the requirement for antiallergic medication compared with (the) control group.” According to HealthCMI, writing about the findings “The quality of life score significantly improved with acupuncture and was a measure of several components: sleep, non-nasal/eye symptoms, emotional function, practical problems, nasal symptoms, eye symptoms, activities. Serum IgE score improvements were found in the acupuncture group.” The researchers note that, “This result showed strong and consistent evidence that acupuncture treatment leads to favorable responses in immunologic outcomes, which have been shown to be helpful in trials of proven therapeutic modalities, such as allergenspecific immunotherapy.” In a study published in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology of 1,000,000 children under the age of 18 (of which 97,401 children had allergic rhinitis.) compared acupuncture with a medication for allergies, Loratadine. The short-term results showed a 96.7% effective rate with acupuncture short term, with an achieved 86.7% long term success rate, compared to loratadine 56.7%. They summarized “[The]Acupuncture group produced significantly greater diminution of nasal symptoms than did (the) control group.” And demonstrated that acupuncture “was superior to the control group in improving physical health.” And “The acupuncture therapy presents the obvious advantages on long-term efficacy.” If drug therapy for allergies concerns you and you would like to try something safer, try acupuncture – it works!

Most VA, DoD Health Records Aren't Accurate It can be a big problem when you need medical care and the electronic health records sent from one provider to another contain inaccuracies. Unfortunately, a Department of Defense Inspector General audit showed this is happening in far too many active-duty and veterans records. After sending surveys to 7,387 health care providers in late 2020 asking about their ability to access health care information for both DoD and Department of Veterans Affairs patients and whether that information was accurate, the DoD recently reported that: -- 91.2% of DoD patient records were inaccurate or incomplete. -- 67.5% of VA patient records were inaccurate or incomplete. -- 93.9% said that it impacted patient care, including giving an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis. The inaccurate or missing information included problems and conditions, lab results, medications and much more. Over at the VA, they've known for a long time that they needed to upgrade their 40-year-old computer system and proposed to merge with the DoD's system. That got started in 2018. They would begin with one facility as a test. In 2020, the VA Office of the Inspector General was tasked with finding out one overriding answer: Is it all going well at the test site before they open the system at the 174 VA medical centers, as well as the 1,577 other sites? The answer, in a word, no. The ill-timed pandemic no doubt kept most workers at home, especially in the beginning. But they've made progress. Just recently, the VA brought online its third site with the new system to track and store patient data. Thoughts: Keep track of your records ... and whether they're accurate. Carry a 3x5 card in your wallet listing your drugs and dosages, conditions and surgeries. When you go to a medical appointment at a VA facility, ask for verification that their records are correct. The last thing you need in an emergency is for your medical records to be inaccurate. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

‘Will my Mom fit in?’
By Matilda Charles
How to Defend Against the Newest Scams They're getting better at what they do, more sophisticated and slick ... scammers, that is. They've had lots of practice, and many are truly skilled, but what they all have in common is that they want your money and your information. Scams against seniors get worse by the year, and the pandemic hasn't helped. Many of the current scams are COVID-related: A scammer will offer to send you a box of at-home test kits -- for a fee. A fake contact tracer will call and claim to need to know your Social Security number for identity purposes. Some will say that your latest doctor bill won't be paid unless you give them your Medicare number. Others will claim to need your banking information so they can do a direct deposit of the stimulus money the government is sending you. Some are new for this year: Supposed Amazon employees will call or send email to warn you about a large purchase. Fake rental-assistance payment scammers will try to get your personal information. Far too many seniors are scammed each and every day. In 2020, seniors lost over $1 billion to fraud, with an average loss of over $9,000. But you can stop it for yourself and not be a victim. Feel free to be rude. Hang up on people who are likely scammers. Don't even bother saying goodbye. Just slam the phone down. Delete emails that have any links without clicking on them. Don't bother opening the door to people you don't know. Use a black marker to cover the information on old pill bottles. Bonus Tip: Invest in a shredder. Look for one that does confetti cuts (small pieces instead of strips). Shred everything that has your name, address and account or credit card numbers. Even envelopes with your name and address can give clues to scammers. Shred them. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

I imagine anyone who works with families considering moving their loved one into a community has heard this question. Our natural instinct is to assure the family that YES, of course they will! In my experience, most often times they do. However, finding ways to help make that acclimatization happen more quickly for new residents can mean the difference between them becoming a long-term resident or quickly moving out. Coming from the perspective of not only someone who has helped other families in this situation, but also as the adult daughter of parents who recently moved into senior living, I want to share some ideas on how to assist new residents to quickly make new friends and adapt to their new life in a community… I found in my experience, the personal touch makes the difference. By working just as hard to learn the likes/dislikes of a senior as you did about their care needs, you have a great chance of knowing how you can help bring them joy!

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A disagreement on how to handle a family problem could create more trouble for all concerned. Look for ways to cool things down before they boil over. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unexpected change in long-standing workplace procedure and policy could provide a new career target for the Archer to aim at. Start making inquiries. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You're finally able to get back into the swing of things, as those temporary doldrums begin to lift. Expect some surprising disclosures from a new colleague. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your innate sense of justice to see you through a dilemma involving a family member. Other relatives who've stood back soon will come forward as well. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A new friend seems to be pushing you to take risks -financial or otherwise. Best advice: Don't do it. They might have a hidden agenda that hasn't surfaced yet. BORN THIS WEEK: You love to see new places and meet new people. Have you considered working for an airline or cruise-ship company? (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.
