BRAIN-Y FACTS

by Kathy Wolfe It’s amazing to ponder that a small threepound organ controls a person’s entire body! Take some time to consider these facts about the human brain, brought to you this week by Tidbits. • There are about 100 billion neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain, which gather and transmit signals. That’s about the same number of stars there are in our galaxy! It’s these nerve cells that compose what is often referred to as “gray matter.” About 100 trillion connections exist among those cells, and not one neuron touches another one. These connections are known as synapses, and they allow the information to flow from one neuron to another. Each nerve cell can have up to 40,000 synapses. • Changes in the synapses are associated with learning and retention of information. Each time you form a memory of some type, a new connection is created. When synapses deteriorate, memory loss and changes in brain function often occur. Studies indicate that people who perform mentally stimulating tasks are less likely to develop dementia. Researchers have determined that stress interferes with transmission, and nerve cells actually shrink from the effects of stress. Deterioration has also been linked to drug use and excessive alcohol consumption, as well as the chemicals in certain pesticides. turn the page for more! WANT TO RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

• Information is processed by your brain at speeds up to 268 miles per hour. There are more electrical impulses generated in a single day by the brain than by all the world’s telephones. The brain’s energy is sufficient to illuminate a 25-watt light bulb. • The two hemispheres of the brain are bridged by the corpus callosum, tissue that enables the two parts to communicate. This part of the brain is 11 percent larger in those people who are ambidextrous — able to write with both hands. • The cerebellum, located at the base of the skull, coordinates muscle movements and balance. Impairment in this area results in the loss of ability to walk or reach out and grab something. • Your brain uses 20 percent of all the blood circulating throughout your body. It flows through the 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the brain. All it takes is eight to 10 seconds of lack of blood to the brain for you to lose consciousness. • The brain also uses 20 percent of all the oxygen we breathe. It can live for four to six minutes without oxygen before damage begins to occur. Lack of oxygen for five to 10 minutes will result in permanent damage. • The horseshoe-shaped hippocampus is crucial in the process of transferring shortterm memory into long-term memory. It’s responsible for forming, organizing and sorting memories. • The brain begins to shrink in mass by about 0.25 percent a year after age 30. By age 80, as much as 20 percent of the nerve connections in the hippocampus may have been lost. Only 30 percent of 80-year-old brains perform as well as those of young adults.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR JIM COYLE Being Happy on the Job Happiness involves feeling good about yourself and what you are doing as a result of it. Our happiness is based on relationships and achievements. Many people will spend a majority of their life working. When our gifts and abilities are being developed and utilized throughout our life, we grow in confidence and strength. Here are some keys to being happy on the job. • See work as a gift not a punishment: just changing our perception can make a huge difference in our attitude • Pursue work that lines up with your gifts and abilities: we must know and grow in our strengths. • Learn everything possible about your job: this keeps your mind fresh and will benefit you and the job you serve. • Use criticism to your advantage: sandpaper smoothes rough edges so let the things that rub you the wrong way smooth you out. • Do more than what is expected of you: the extra mile paves new roads

BRAIN-Y FACTS (continued):

• Wernicke’s Area and Broca’s Area are both important in the area of language. While Wernicke’s is responsible for comprehension of speech, Broca’s is involved in the production of speech. If Wernicke’s Area is damaged, a person loses the ability to understand language. He or she can speak clearly, but the combination of words makes no sense. Those with an impaired Broca’s Area understand language, but can’t properly form the words to produce speech. • If you’re having trouble focusing on a task and can’t complete a sequence of movements or solve a problem, you may have an impairment of the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex. This area can also produce mood changes, changes in personality and social behavior, and an inability to interact with others. • Talk about using your brain to its full potential! Ben Pridmore is a world champion memorizer who memorized 96 historical events in just five minutes. It took this accountant just over 26 seconds to memorize the order of a shuffled deck of cards. His trick is to create associations between the items he is memorizing. • Ever wonder why you can’t tickle yourself? It’s because your brain is able to distinguish between unexpected touch and your own touch. • Research confirms that brain waves are more active when you are dreaming than when you are awake. If you’re average, you’ll have between four and seven dreams a night over the course of one to two hours. • Think about it! The average brain does just that — It produces about 70,000 thoughts on a normal day.

Sometimes our puzzle answers do not match the puzzles.

Keep this thought in mind, we are only helping “you” by stimulating your brain to work harder by determining the correct answers on your own!

Have you ever wondered what brains the people have that are in those videos for dumbest crooks or worlds dumbest video clips?

BRAIN-Y FACTS (continued):

• Certain scents can trigger memories, for example, the smell of roses might bring a family member’s funeral into vivid focus. This is because the olfactory nerve, the one that registers smells, is very close to the amygdala, that part of the brain connected to emotions and their memories, and also to the hippocampus, an area associated with memory. If these areas are damaged, the ability to identify certain scents can be affected. • Want to increase your brain power? Reading aloud promotes brain development, as do music lessons, which boost the brain’s organizational ability. Children who learn two languages by the age of five will develop a denser gray matter. Those who grow up in a stimulating environment can have up to a 25-percent greater ability to learn. • Do all you can to keep your brain healthy! Avoid stress, which has been shown to affect brain structure and function. Studies show that artificial flavorings and preservatives also have a negative effect on IQ. And a seven-year study reported that those who eat seafood at least once a week have a 30-percent lower occurrence of dementia. • The third leading cause of death in America is by stroke. This occurs when blood supply to a part of the brain is disturbed, the result of a blockage, such as a clot, or by a lack of blood flow, such as a burst blood vessel or hemorrhage. The function of the affected area is severely affected, including inability to move limbs, understand speech or see. • An elephant’s brain may be larger than a human brain, but its percentage of total body weight is much smaller. The human brain is about 2 percent of total body weight, but the elephant’s is just 0.15 percent.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

It was beloved cowboy humorist Will Rogers who made the following sage observation: “Nobody wants to be called common people, especially common people.” ● Do you think you could eat 80 pounds of chicken? If you’re like the average American, that’s how much you will consume this year. ● The composer who wrote the famous song “Que Sera, Sera” also wrote the theme song to the 1960s TV show “Mr. Ed.”

● The world’s single largest consumer of fossil fuels is the United States military. ● You might be surprised to learn that, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, half of all American children suffer at least one dog bite before the age of 12. The ASPCA also says that most of those bites aren’t from strange animals; rather, it’s the family pet or a friend or neighbor’s dog that does the biting. *** Thought for the Day: “Where we have strong emotions, we’re liable to fool ourselves.” -- Carl Sagan (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Tai Chi Benefits In a new study, researchers discovered that seniors who engage in tai chi, the gentle Chinese exercise, experienced an increase in brain size and improvements in cognition. The research was done in a controlled trial, which means that the participants were carefully monitored. The group attended tai chi classes three times a week, as well as a social discussion afterward. The results showed an increase in brain function, as well as improved results on memory and thinking tests. It’s thought that the gentle movements of tai chi, as well as the social interaction, was able to reverse the gradual loss of nerve cells in the brain that leads to dementia. Tai Chi has been explored in other research as well, with positive results. Arthritis: Seniors with knee osteoarthritis improved physical function after learning tai chi, and experienced less pain. Participants took a 60-minute class that included instruction in breathing and relaxation, twice a week for three months. A control group received only diet instruction and did stretching exercises. At the end of the three months, those who took the tai chi classes experienced “a significant decrease in knee pain.” According to the research. 4.3 million seniors have knee osteoarthritis. Depression: Seniors who attended a weekly tai chi class experienced improvement in their depression, memory, quality of life and energy. Prevention of falls: Multiple studies have shown that tai chi’s slow exercise movements and deep breathing are effective in helping to prevent falls. Ask your doctor if tai chi could be beneficial to your overall health. If you call your senior center to inquire about tai chi classes, ask whether the instructor is experienced in working with seniors.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

THE TOWER BRIDGE

Spanning the Thames River in London is the Tower Bridge, one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks. Did you know it’s the only bridge on the Thames that can be raised and lowered to allow ships to pass through? Follow along and see what else you may not know about this edifice. • Many people make the mistake of thinking the Tower Bridge is the same as London Bridge. London Bridge is the next bridge upstream, a mile west of Tower Bridge. Several London Bridges have in fact “fallen down” as the nursery rhyme proclaimed. One was actually sold to an American businessman in 1968, dismantled, and reconstructed in Lake Havasu, Arizona. • The Tower Bridge was proposed to help cope with the increased commercial development along the river during the latter half of the 1800s. A traditional style of bridge was not an option because it would not allow tall-masted ships to reach the port facilities located between London Bridge and the Tower of London. A “bascule” bridge was required, one with a roadway that could be raised to allow tall vessels to pass through. This term comes from the French word bascule, meaning “seesaw.” • More than 50 designs were submitted for consideration. Once the design was selected, construction began in 1886 and continued for eight years. More than 430 workers labored on the project. The first step was to sink two enormous piers containing 70,000 tons of concrete into the riverbed. The framework of 11,000 tons of steel was next, followed by granite and stone work to cover the steel. Open-air pedestrian walkways were installed 143 feet above the river between the tops of the two towers, enabling those on foot to cross the bridge while the roadway was raised. However, most pedestrians merely waited to cross until the bridge closed rather than climb the stairs. As a result, the walkways were closed in 1910. They reopened 72 years later, as the site of a public Tower Bridge museum. • The Bridge was officially opened in June of 1894 by the Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VII, the greatgrandfather of Queen Elizabeth II). Not every Londoner was a fan of the new edifice, with one critic stating, “A more absurd structure than the Tower Bridge was never thrown across a strategic river.” The raising of the bridge was accomplished by a hydraulic system, powered by pressurized water kept in large storage units. A new electro-hydraulic drive system replaced the old system in 1974, followed by a computerized system in 2000. • During Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, the bridge was painted red, white and blue as part of the celebration. Prior to that, it had been chocolate brown and a greenish-blue color. • More than 40,000 people cross the 800-footlong span each day. The bridge can be raised to an 83-degree angle in just five minutes — an amazing feat considering each bascule weighs 1,000 tons! River traffic always takes precedence over road traffic, but 24-hours notice must be given in order to have the bridge raised for a ship. Because many days often go by without the bridge lifting, it is considered good luck to witness the opening.

December 22– January 19

June 22– July 22 You have a point, but you need to drive it home for it to have any effect, Cancer. Fiction turns fact in your inner circle, and you must react.

January 20– February 18 You don’t like chaos, Aquarius, but you might as well get used to it. Things are going to get hectic and stay that way for some time to come. Go with it.

July 23– August 22

Pace yourself, Capricorn. You’ve got a lot to do, but to do it right, you need to attack it a little at a time and check everything as you go. A friend could use some advice.

February 19– March 20 A storm is brewing at home, Pisces. Get involved only if you dare. Finances improve vastly with some finetuning of the budget. Bravo!

Psst, Leo. That special someone deserves your undivided attention. Make time for them. A young friend has a brilliant idea. Encourage them to implement it.

August 23– September 22 Press ahead, Virgo. Pay those naysayers no heed. You have everything you need at your fingertips to turn your dream into reality.

March 21– April 19 Got your eye on an opportunity, Aries? So has someone else. Seize it now. A romantic gesture is returned, and passion ignites. A deadline looms.

September 23– October 22 You’re a force to be reckoned with this week, Libra, as creativity and confidence bloom. You’re full of ideas and the chutzpah to see them through.

April 20– May 20 Raving reviews get the week off to a great start. You did your homework, and it shows, Taurus. A project at home turns out to be a walk in the park.

October 23– November 21 Silly Scorpio. No one is out to get you other than yourself. You’ve made some poor choices, and as soon as you admit that, life will get better.

May 21– June 21 You’re waffling, and patience is wearing thin. Make a decision, Gemini, and stick to it. Glowing praise from a loved one makes for a delightful weekend.

November 22– December 21 Take it easy, Sagittarius. You’ve been checking off tasks from your to-do list left and right. Now it’s time to relax and do a little traveling.

DYSLEXIA or... aixelsyd

Dyslexia afflicts both young and old, regardless of intelligence. Tidbits relays some information about the most common learning disability in children as well as facts about some familiar folks who have risen above its effects. • Dyslexia is caused by a deficiency in the brain’s ability to translate images from eyes or ears into understandable language. It’s not the result of vision or hearing problems, neither is it a sign of mental retardation. In fact, highly intelligent and creative people are affected. It’s estimated that over 40 million Americans have dyslexia. Some researchers believe that as much as 17 percent of schoolaged children have the disability. • “Primary dyslexia” is a dysfunction of the left side of the brain and is a hereditary disorder that causes individuals to struggle with reading, spelling and writing into the adult years. With “visual dyslexia,” there is difficulty with number and letter reversals such as transposing letters or words, reading Monday burger baskets 11-8 “tab”● for “bat,”$5 and confusing a “d” with a “b.” ● Tuesday $6.99results tacos in 11-8 “Auditory dyslexia” trouble with the well Margaritas 11-8 sounds$4.00 of letters. A child may not remember or understand what he has heard, sometimes ● Thursday, $5 Dozen Wings 4-9 pm missing parts of words or sentences. ● Sunday All Day Happy Hour! He also may●have a problem words to express All Games In finding High Definition TVS his thoughts. • Symptoms of dyslexia in a child include late talking, difficulty rhyming, inability to comprehend rapid instructions or remember sequences, trouble understanding what he hears, and seeing words or letters in reverse. He may not be able to follow more than one command at a time. The sooner dyslexia is diagnosed, the better the results. Teens and adults might experience difficulty with time management, reading aloud, learning a foreign language, memorization and understanding jokes. • Although dyslexics have struggles with language, they are frequently gifted in other areas, such as mathematics, science or the arts. Although Albert Einstein couldn’t memorize simple lists, including the order of the months of the year, he could easily solve complicated mathematical equations and formulas. Brilliant inventor Thomas Edison patented approximately 1,200 items during his lifetime. Edison spent just three months in public school, before his mother chose to deal with his learning disability by homeschooling him. • Many dyslexics turned their attention to athletics for success. Texas Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan, boxing champ Mohammed Ali, decathlete Bruce Jenner and Olympic diver Greg Louganis have all triumphed over their disability. • When painter Pablo Picasso flunked out of school due to reading difficulties, his art professor father spurred him to develop his artistic abilities, a gift that was evident at a very young age. It’s also believed that Leonardo da Vinci was dyslexic, evidenced by his notes, written right-to-left, a trait exhibited by many left-handed dyslexics. • In the entertainment world, actors Tom Cruise, Patrick Dempsey and Orlando Bloom have all battled the effects of dyslexia. Bloom states, “You have all the information you need, but find it harder to process… It’s a lack of access.” Jay Leno was advised to drop out of high school but proved his advisors wrong when he achieved a bachelor’s degree in speech therapy. • Although dyslexia makes language comprehension and writing extremely challenging, that didn’t stop Fannie Flagg from pursuing a writing career. She became a successful novelist and screenplay writer, nominated for an Academy Award for the script of her novel “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café,” a 1991 movie blockbuster.

Replacing a Grill’s Propane Regulator Q: I picked up a used gas grill for free the other day. The only problem with it, as acknowledged by the owner, is that the hose connecting the regulator to the propane tank has a leak in it. Is this something I can fix easily? Paying for an expensive repair would kind of negate the “free” part of the deal. -- Jake in San Diego A: This should be a fairly easy repair, and not expensive at all. Replacement regulator and hose assemblies for most types of gas grills can be found at the home-improvement store for around $20. First, make sure the propane tank (if it came with the grill) is completely shut off by turning the tank spigot clockwise until it is tightly closed. Set the grill’s control knobs to the “off” position. Remove the hose assembly by unscrewing the hose connections from the propane tank and the grill. You can use pliers if necessary on this step. Take the regulator and hose assembly to the homeimprovement store to match it up with the correct replacement part. If the grill didn’t come with a propane tank, or if the accompanying tank is empty, now is also a good time to either purchase a propane tank or exchange the old one. Back home, hook up the regulator assembly to the propane tank and to the grill. Do not use pliers at this point -- hand-tighten the connections. Pliers can crack the plastic shell inside the connectors. Once the connectors are on straight, you can use pliers to gently tighten the connectors about a half-turn. Next, test the connections for leaks. Mix dish soap and water until the solution is nice and frothy. Leaving the grill knobs in the “off” position, turn on the propane tank and drizzle the soapy water over each connection, including where the hoses connect to the regulator. (A sponge can make this task easier.) If you see bubbles rising and popping fast at one of the connections, or if you smell gas, there’s a leak. Shut off the propane tank and re-tighten the connections, then test again until the connections no longer leak. HOME TIP: When grilling, only open the propane-tank valve 1/2 turn. This supplies enough gas to the burners, and makes emergency shut off very fast should you ever need to close the valve. Send your questions or tips to ask@ thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot dogs? Pizza?

● Got lots of fresh herbs from your summer garden? Hang bunches upside down in a cool, dry place for a week or so, and then crumble the leaves into small jars.

● If you want to cool your canned drinks quickly, add water to the cooler with a lot of ice, submerge all drinks below the ice line, and wait about 20 minutes. Without the water, it takes much longer. The water extends the surface contact of the ice. ● To keep your ladder from sinking into soft sand or dirt, put each leg into a can or bucket. It creates a much larger surface area, thereby stabilizing the legs. ● If you run out of bleach, add four tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to a small load of whites. ● “Be certain to use only distilled water in your iron.

I was informed that they had forgotten to bring any shovels to lean on while watching the paving contractor do their work.
