Protecting Our Sansbury Residents
Responding to the COVID-19 Virus
Sansbury Care Center understands that you may be concerned about the spread of COVID-19 (the new coronavirus) being reported in the media and how it may affect our facility. Ensuring that residents are safely cared for in a healthy environment is our greatest concern. At this time we do not have any cases in our facility or in our county.
As a result of national and state directives to all nursing homes, Sansbury Care Center is limiting resident visitations to end-of-life care situations only.
In addition, Mass and Communion Services will not be open to the public until further notice. We understand that connecting with family members and residents is important, therefore we urge you to consider alternate ways to contact them. Some suggested ways to contact residents include by telephone, text, mail, email, Skype or Facebook.
As suggested by the Kentucky Department of Public Health, Sansbury Care Center has implemented health screening for essential personnel that enter the facility. Our center is also following the prevention steps recommended by the CDC and is actively monitoring all updates. Other agencies also being monitored for information are local and state health departments, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and the Kentucky Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we all work together to keep our residents safe.

Written by the COG Community Web Watch Team
In keeping with our mission to tap the pulse of world in terms of current events and how prophecy is playing out in these later days, our attention this week turns to reports of increasing food and housing costs which are boosting inflation and hunger across the United States. Matthew 24:7-8
According to the US labor department, the consumer price index rose 0.2 percent in March after increasing .01 percent in February with food and shelter accounting for most of the rise. Reuters-. While the hike in inflation is allaying the concerns of Federal Reserve officials who were worried that the inflationary rate was too low, concern among families are at a peak lately over how much it cost to take a trip to the grocery store. The price of beef is skyrocketing along with the price-tag on eggs, cheese, milk and produce. CNN Money- .
In addition, while reports inundate the news claiming the recession has been over since 2009, that has not been the case for the less fortunate whose struggles are turning to desperation. In fact, the economic downturn continues in full swing for the poor who are trying at best to stretch food to make it last. That's according to nbcnews.com.
In addition, various catastrophic weather conditions are being blamed as the source behind rising food cost with drought conditions in California bearing the brunt of it. The Sunshine state is said to account for providing the world with a majority of its food staples. There had been serious cutbacks on water but thanks to God's mercy California is now experiencing more rain and snow and concerns are easing. CBS News–
Along with the rise in food cost, housing is also taking center stage. The cost of rent is increasing as demand continues to rise. This may mean additional numbers to add to the nations' homeless register. US Housing and Urban Development officials believe there are more homeless on the streets than are actually accounted for. HUD.gov
These effects of famine which continues to wax worse with each minute that passes was foretold in Prophecy and echoed more than four decades ago in Mr. Armstrong's Tomorrow's News Magazine. Mr. Eugene M. Walter pinned an article in a November 1969 issue (pg. 18) which rings true as our time is the fast moving future discussed back then. HWA searchable library-
We will continue our efforts to keep those who are scattered updated on current events as they happen in hopes that we are adhering to Jesus's warning about the "latter days"which Christ likened to those in Noah's time. Matthew 24:37-39

It can wreak havoc on your social life. It can ruin relationships. It can even make your own children run away in terror. We're talking about bad breath, a condition from which one in four adults in the UK suffers.
In nine out of ten cases, bad breath is caused by a dental problem. These problems include gum disease, tooth decay, poor dental hygiene, tongue coat, throat infection, and faulty restorations.
But did you know that food can also cause bad breath? It's true: some foods have been scientifically proven to promote halitosis. Read on to find out more.
Culprits of bad breath
- Garlic and onions. If you always eat garlic and onions, then it shouldn't be a surprise that your breath sometimes makes people turn away in horror, and not just vampires either. Both garlic and onions contain smelly sulphur compounds that linger in your mouth. These compounds are expelled when you exhale, thus letting everyone in a five-metre radius know exactly what you had for lunch. And there's not much you can do about the smell either. As the author of author of Garlic: The Mighty Bulb says, "It goes right into your system and seeps out through your pores, not just your breath."
- Alcohol and caffeine. Alcohol and caffeine can also cause bad breath. Again, this is probably not a surprise. Who hasn't woken up with a hangover and then discovered they have morning breath? Alcohol and caffeine cause bad breath in the same way: decreased saliva production. When you drink an espresso or sip a cocktail, the saliva production in your mouth is decreased. This makes your mouth go dry, which is the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. The bacteria in turn produce smelly gases that cause bad breath. So, if you want to avoid bad breath, think twice about your nights on the town and your daily caffeine dose.
- Spicy foods. This is also common sense, but spicy foods such as strong curries can temporarily cause bad breath. This is because spices such as cumin have a strong and lasting aroma. Just think of the breath of people stumbling out of their local curry house. Or on second thought, maybe don't.
Foods and drinks that combat bad breath
Thankfully, some drinks and food actually make your breath smell better.
- Water. Water is a great choice as it washes away bits of food in your mouth, and promotes saliva production. It's also odor-free. What's not to love?
- Chewing gum. Chewing gum is another way to reduce bad breath. The act of chewing secretes saliva, which in turn helps kill the bacteria in your mouth. Gum also helps loosen bits of food from your teeth. But don't use gum that contains sugar, otherwise you'll be encouraging bacteria instead of killing them.
If you have persistent bad breath, then see your dentist or doctor. Sometimes bad breath can be a sign that there's something seriously wrong with your body, such as diabetes, cancer or even liver failure. Rest assured though that most cases of bad breath go away with after an improved oral hygiene routine.

3 Tips to Choose the Best Credit Repair Service
By Link Robertson
Many credit repair services make it sound as if all you have to do is pay them and your credit report will be fixed. However this is not true, below is a criteria you should use when choosing a service.
Do Not Pay Large Fees
Many services will charge large upfront fees. Instead look for more standard rates such as $179 for a start up fee and then a monthly fee of $100 or less. Some services will charge per action, I do not suggest this as your fees can add up quickly to more than $100 / month.
Also you should avoid a company that says you must make a large upfront payment, these companies are typically not effective services and are looking to make a quick buck at your expense.
Look For Refunds Not Guarantees
Credit repair can not be guaranteed, esspecially upfront. This is similar to a defense attorney guaranteeing that you will be found innocent of a criminal charge - IT CAN NOT BE DONE
I strongly suggest you avoid any service that make a guarantee, instead look for a refund policy or warranty. Many good services will offer a refund if their service is ineffective or you are not satisfied.

One of Abraham Lincoln's GREAT QUOTES
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln

Even God Enjoys a Good Laugh
There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:
1. He called everyone brother
2. He liked Gospel
3. He didn't get a fair trial
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:
1. He went into His Father's business
2. He lived at home until he was 33
3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother
was sure He was God
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:
1. He talked with His hands
2. He had wine with His meals
3. He used olive oil
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian:
1. He never cut His hair
2. He walked around barefoot all the time
3. He started a new religion
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian:
1. He was at peace with nature
2. He ate a lot of fish
3. He talked about the Great Spirit
But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:
1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories.
3. He loved green pastures.
But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:
1. He fed a crowd at a
moment's notice when there was virtually no food
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it
3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do

The Heaviest Element Known to Science Discovered
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science.
The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of morons promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

BROOKLYN (PIX11) — Ofelia Berenger is a young woman who knows she's lucky to be alive. Last March a car smashed into her at the corner of 86th Street and 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. She was dragged across the intersection and suffered severe injuries.
The incident was captured on a surveillance camera. Take a look at the video.
"I had multiple fracture in both of my legs. My right arm. I suffered a stroke during the accident. I have two coils inserted in my arteries. I broke my nose and i lost half of my ear."
It took months of rehab. And the Romanian immigrant still walks with a cane. Part of the residual pain is that she says the NYPD never bothered to investigate the incident beyond the initial police report. And both she and her attorney believe the car that hit her was drag racing with another vehicle that fled the scene.
"The talk in the neighborhood was there were two cars. They were drag racing!"
A witness who owns the liquor store there agrees.
"There was two cars involved. There was definitely two cars racing!"
And Ofelia's attorney, Michelle Laskin, says, "The people that witnessed this accident who saw the kids drag racing down the street said that they were taking cell phone videos at the time. So they were really doing this to show off, maybe put it on YouTube."
The driver who hit Ofelia stopped. According to the police report he's a 20-year-old named Amer Bakour of Brooklyn. He was neither arrested nor charged. And he wasn't home when we came by to speak with him. Ofelia's and her attorney are pointing their fingers at the NYPD.
"I've never seen anything like this! And the problem is the police have completely stone-walled us," says Michelle Laskin. "
"How so?"
"There's been no investigation. They didn't investigate it that night. They didn't question people in the neighborhood as to the identity of the other driver. They didn't arrest the kid that did drag and strike Ofelia through the intersection. Nothing's been done."
"And you have no recollection of the accident whatsoever?" I asked Ofelia.
"Absolutely not."
"So did the police ever speak with you while you were in therapy?"
" No. Nobody came."
Ofelia has filed a lawsuit. Both Bakour's attorney and the NYPD refused to comment, citing the pending litigation.
"I don't know what happened that night. And I think I deserve to know."

Notts County vs Yeovil Town
England – League Two
Date: Friday, 17 August 2018
Kick-Off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Meadow Lane Stadium, Nottingham.
Notts County started the new League Two campaign in a dreadful manner, claiming just one point from the opening two games.
It's a bitterly disappointing return for a side that featured the promotional play-offs last term as Kevin Nolan and his men will be desperate to pick up their first three-pointer on Friday evening when they host the Glovers in the first game of the third Matchday.
Yeovil's visit should really give a nice opportunity for the Magpies to grab the spoils and get their campaign on track. The visitors started off with a 1-0 loss to Bury away at Gigg Lane before playing a 2-2 draw to Mansfield Town in a match which saw them make no more than two attempts on target.
Darren Way's men spent the entire last season in the bottom half and they finished the campaign just two points above the drop zone. If we are to judge by the start to the new season, they are in for a similar destiny this time about as well.
Notts County vs Yeovil Town: Head-to-head
- The Glovers lead the head to head tie by two wins coming into 17th encounter with Notts County.
- However, the Magpies demolished their rivals 4-1 in the previous meeting, back in April this year at Meadow Lane.
- Notts County won two and drew one of last three home clashes with Yeovil Town.
Notts County vs Yeovil Town: Prediction
The Magpies were unlucky to concede a stoppage-time goal and lose the clash to Cambridge United on Saturday away at Abbey Stadium.
Nolan is worried with the form of his main striker Jon Stead and Kane Hemmings who failed to produce in the opening two games.
They certainly made a formidable attacking duo for this level of the competition and they should have space to deliver past the defensive line of Yeovil's here.
Notts County were generally very tough to beat at home last term when they won 14, drew 7 and lost only 2 of 23 games in the league.
We just have to see them as clear favourites as they also dominated the most recent H2H tie with the Glovers in matches at Meadow Lane (two wins and a draw in last three).
The home win can be regarded as a banker at 1.66, while you can also try with the hosts to bag two or more goals at 1.83.
Notts County vs Yeovil Town: Bet Tips
Notts County to win @ 1.66 (2/3)
Notts County Over 1.5 Team Goals @ 1.83 (5/6).

Faith and Family: First Baptist Natchez hosting second 'Unity in Community' event
NATCHEZ — First Baptist Church of Natchez is inviting the community to a combined Unity in Community service at 6 p.m. Sunday at the church located at 150 Devereux Drive.
The service will feature a combined choir from different churches, including Zion Chapel AME, Parkway Baptist Church and others.
"We are going to have a worship time together and a message on the subject of unity, the importance of having unity in our community," said the Rev. Doug Broome, Ph.D., pastor of First Baptist Church.
Sunday's event will be the second in what Broome said will be a regular series. The first Unity in the Community service was held Sept. 11 at First Baptist Church.
"The first time we had Bro. Birdon Mitchell (pastor of Zion Chapel), an African American speak, and this time I am going to speak," Broome said. "The next time we will go back and have an African American speak."
Broome said he would deliver a message Sunday night on the bond of love from the book of Ecclesiastes.
"In some regards we are a very diverse community, and it is fine to be diverse but we don't want to be divided," Broome said of the origin of the series that he said the church hopes to offer three times per year. "We felt like this would give us a chance to get together and the truth is the better we get to know each other the more we discover things in common and the better we will like each other. It is just a matter of people not knowing one another. If we can develop relationships, that's the key to success for our whole community."
Broome said a number of churches, including Zion Chapel and Parkway Baptist would be there but others are welcome to attend the service as well.
"I certainly hope there will be some from other churches," Broome said. "At the same time we are not trying to interfere with other churches that have regular Sunday night programs. We're not trying to take away from what they are already doing. We are just trying to do this. We felt like it would pay more dividends and bring as many people together as possible. Everyone is welcome. We would love to see them join with us in trying to promote unity in our community."

After an open arm's length of Holocaust books, a pile that would tower over my cat of Holocaust movies, dozens of hours of interviews, and over 700 pages of transcripts from those interviews — not to mention four years of work — the Holocaust book is done……mostly, kind of, pretty much. I add those qualifiers because when writing any book, there's never a solid completely-done place to arrive until after the book is in print, and even then, there's usually little tweaks in the second printing and so on. Yet there is a turning point when I can say to myself, this puppy is done, and this is where I've arrived.
I started this book without any idea of how I would get it researched, let alone written, given my full-time gig, other obligations and everyday life raising three teens at the time. Like all books, it turned out to be much more work than I imagined, especially as I immersed myself in research on the Polish Resistance, the mechanics behind the Holocaust, German and Polish history and culture, tales of survival and liberation, and moments of horror and overwhelming loss. There were many times when I began to doubt that I could pull together all the research with all the oral histories I'd been recording into a coherent book, yet something told me to keep putting one paragraph in front of the other, one more piece of research into the pile. Last night as I corrected the formatting on endnote #204, the last one, I realized that despite the impossibility of it all, my instinct served me well.
My hope for this book is that those who read it will see not just the history of what two men — Jarek Piekalkiewicz, a Polish Resistance fighter and Lou Frydman, a Holocaust survivor — went through, but in their stories how we might better understand how to live with the enduring traumas of our history, especially those we carry within us. So while the book is done, where it may go from here is just beginning.
Pictures (from top): Some of the books and other company for the journey, and the subjects of this book: Lou and Jane Frydman, Jarek and Maura Piekalkiewicz.

Information for Employees
It's November and time to get your flu shot! The CDC, Employers Council, and Kaiser Permanente encourage us all to get our flu shots. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to become effective, so it's important not to wait until cases of the flu start appearing. If you are on the Deltech Furnaces Kaiser health plan, you can get the shot at no cost. It is considered preventive medicine, and therefore there is no co-pay. You can walk into any Kaiser clinic – no appointment required – and get your immunization. For more information and to find clinic locations, visit http://www.kp.org
All of us at Deltech know that we manufacture furnace systems for some pretty cool customers: scientists and engineers who work in universities, national laboratories, and for industrial glass and ceramics manufacturers. Confidentiality is often critical to them. We have one customer who didn't want their company named mentioned! A reminder to all employees about Deltech confidentiality policies: Many of our customers require us to sign NDAs (non disclosure agreements) covering their expected uses for the furnaces they are purchasing from us. Whenever you see a furnace on the production floor that has special features, chances are that it is covered by an NDA. It is important that you do not discuss any details about the furnace with anyone. Also, do not take or disseminate any photos of the furnace system in any manner. This includes sharing the photos with family and friends, posting on Facebook, etc. If you have any questions, please see Mary.
The Employers Council just reported on a recent survey
of employers covering their projected pay increases for
2018. Compare these to the percentage you recently received
from Deltech:
Colorado 3.1%
Arizona 2.8%
Utah 3.1%
Wyoming 2.7%
I think you'll like the numbers!
And what about staying safe in the summer heat? Whether we're at work or mowing the lawn or playing in the sun, we may be at risk for heat stress or worse.
FastTracks shared this helpful information in their North Metro Rail Line newsletter:
|Safety tip of the month
|On the North Metro Rail Line, safety is our number one priority and because it plays such a significant role in our daily work, we want to share our safety tips with you.
Preventing Heat Stress
Heat Cramps are painful spasms of the muscles caused when a person drinks large quantities of water but fails to replace his or her body's salt loss. Tired muscles (those used for performing the activity) are usually the ones most susceptible to cramps. Cramps may occur during or after activities and may be relieved by taking liquids by mouth or, if medically required, IV saline solutions for quicker relief, .
Heat Rash (prickly heat) may occur in hot and humid environments where sweat is not easily removed from the surface of the skin by evaporation. When extensive or complicated by infection, heat rash can be so uncomfortable it inhibits sleep and can impede a person's performance. It can be prevented by resting in a cool place and allowing the skin to dry.
Fainting (heat syncope) may be a problem for a person who is not acclimated to a hot environment or who simply stands still in the heat. Victims usually recover quickly after a brief period of lying down. Moving around, rather than standing still, will usually reduce the possibility of fainting.
Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion
Symptoms of Heat Stroke
What to Do for Heat-Related Emergency
And a final note: Don't make mistakes like the one a friend of mine did. She (a nurse, yet!) drank beer instead of water during a 5K run on a hot day. The result… she got dizzy in the heat and passed out. So embarrassing…

In this Issue . . . Director's Message | Learning and the Brain: What We Know and What's Yet to Conquer | The Brain, Sleep, and Memory: An Interview with Sadie Witkowski
Our brain, the command center for our bodies, is perhaps one of the greatest mysteries of the human species. For centuries, scientists have hypothesized about how parts of the brain function independently or together to affect our motor skills, senses, learning, problem solving, disabilities, and diseases, to name a few. And while scientists and psychologists have studied the brain for years, the advent of new technologies within the last decade allows us to examine the inner workings of our brains like never before.
Here at Northwestern University, we have a strong commitment to neuroscience research and education. Among the groundbreaking work happening on campus, two research labs—Northwestern's Neuroscience LEARN Lab and the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab—are doing innovative work studying childhood development, learning, sleep, and memory.
In this issue of Talent, we offer an insider's view into the world of cognitive neuroscience. The field is exploding with a groundswell of young people pursuing neuroscience professionally, and more sophisticated research is being conducted all over the world every day. Here in the U.S, medical scientists represent one of the fastest growing professions at an accelerated growth rate of 13%.
So what does all this mean for gifted and talented children? First, many of our high-ability students are the next up-and-comers primed to advance the field of neuroscience. Their high abilities in STEM, coupled with critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, make many of them a natural fit.
Second, the important research discoveries being made today provide valuable insight for parents and educators in determining how to best serve their high-ability children for optimal growth. While there's no conclusive evidence yet on whether high-ability children's brains differ physically or functionally from their age mates, we do know1:
Simply stated, neural pathways in the brain can be strengthened and changed, with the combination of the right stimulation and the right environmental circumstances.
At Center for Talent Development, we pride ourselves in providing challenging programming to strengthen both the neural and experiential pathways for gifted and talented children. Our programs and courses, offered through a multitude of online and in-person venues, are designed specifically for high-ability children of all ages with interests in math, science, arts and humanities, English and language arts, technology, engineering, and service.
With respect to the burgeoning field of neuroscience, there is so much more work to be done. Experts are needed not only in biology and psychology, but in data analysis, project management, communication, technology, teaching, and leadership. We're proud that CTD offers exciting courses to spark curiosity in all of those areas and beyond.
Take a moment and think about the opportunities you're providing to strengthen the neural pathways for your high-ability child. Talk with your child about their interests and consider enrolling them in a CTD course this fall.
There are many pathways for high-ability students to explore, and we're here for your child every step of the way.

At six years old, Dr. Elizabeth Norton had her first neuroscience revelation when she observed that children were placed into different reading groups based on ability level in first grade. She naturally assumed all children developed at the same pace, and wondered why some kids were fluent readers while others were still learning letters of the alphabet. This lightbulb moment ignited her curiosity and became a defining moment in shaping her life's work of studying cognition and the brain.
Today, Dr. Norton is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University. In addition to mentoring and teaching students, she is also director of the Language, Education and Reading Neuroscience (LEARN) Lab, a research group at Northwestern that uses brain science to understand language, reading, and learning development and disorders. She also works with schools, community groups, and policymakers to improve awareness of reading and language disorders and to advocate for policy changes to make educational and clinical practices consistent with current research.
Norton is known among her peers as a cognitive neuroscientist, one who studies the brain and nervous system as it relates to mental processing. Within the field of neuroscience, various subspecialties range from researching the brain at the cellular and molecular level to studying genetics, disorders, disabilities, and behaviors. A former high school science educator who taught bright students with language and reading disabilities, Norton's passion centers on how the brain, environment, and behavior work together to develop skills and abilities related to reading, learning, and language. One of her goals is to use research as a way to inform interventions in early childhood so children won't struggle later in school.
"I like to say that cognitive neuroscience is about studying what makes humans 'human,'" says Norton. "One of the things that makes us unique from all other species is the way we communicate. The work we do in our department is very broad: We study hearing, speech, language, and learning across the lifespan. This includes people from very young infants to older adults-and may range from those who are healthy, gifted communicators to those who are struggling."

The LEARN Lab at Northwestern is a hub of activity, with several research studies progressing at any one time. The lab's primary focus is to understand typical reading and language development, along with developmental and learning disabilities such as dyslexia, developmental language, and autism spectrum disorders. The lab uses different types of brain imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), in combination with behavioral measures, to address unanswered questions as to how the brain develops and processes information.
"I'm particularly interested in how combining behavior with brain imaging can help us identify children who are at risk for disorders earlier than traditional behavioral methods would allow so that early intervention can be provided," says Norton. "I'd also like to see neuroscience tools used in more 'real world' contexts, such as assessing parents and toddlers brains as they play together or helping preterm infants receive the care they need in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs)."
Currently the lab is implementing six research projects focused on brain wave activity and cognition. Through two large studies funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and four smaller studies, LEARN Lab researchers are seeking answers related to:
In addition to being passionate about her research, Norton is also eager to dispel myths about brain function and development. True or false?
"We only use 10% of our brain."
False, says Norton. We use all of the regions in our brains, not just a small fraction of them, according to the Society for Neuroscience. Dr. Barry Gordon, from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, emphatically states in a Scientific American article, "…that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time."
"You're predominantly right- or left-brained."
Also, false. Norton says both sides of the brain are in constant communication. And, while certain parts of the brain are particularly active during certain activities, essentially all cognitive activities activate both sides of the brain.
"We're all born with a finite number of brain cells."
False, again. Studies have shown that your brain is constantly changing, otherwise known as plasticity. The brain is able to reform itself and build new connections whenever it learns something new, or attempts to repair or regain functions when injured.
When asked about research comparing the brains of gifted and talented children and children of average intelligence, the findings are not so clear cut. While the brain basis of cognition is of significant interest to neuroscientists, Norton says there are scant neurological studies focused exclusively on the gifted brain. This is because intelligence, giftedness, and cognition are multi-faceted and very complex. She says enough research hasn't been conducted to draw definitive conclusions on what happens in the brain that allows one person to have greater cognitive skills than another. However, she points to a handful of studies which may shed some light on how the brains of children with above average intelligence or math ability when compared with the brains of children in the average range.
"Researchers have done things like taken a large group of children with lower and higher IQ scores and performed MRI scans on all of them. A pattern that's starting to emerge, but is not yet consistent across studies, is that there may be greater efficiency of communication and integration among different brain areas in individuals who have higher non-verbal IQs. This suggests there may be better structural connections and greater functional integration that creates a fast-moving highway, so that two areas of the brain can work better together to solve a problem.
"However, what they seem to be finding is that there's not really a qualitative difference in the way the brain works; if you're really skilled in math, your brain is not organized differently than another person. The findings suggest it's really more of a continuum related to efficiency and connectivity."
Physically speaking, Norton explains that someone with greater "efficiency" and "connectivity" means their axons may be mylenated, or covered with a thin sheath, which allows messages to travel faster back and forth across the brain. The speed of how two brain regions work together to accomplish a task depends on how mylenated and organized the neurons are connecting the regions. Children's brains may be physically laid out to use the same neural pathways, but some children's pathways are simply more efficient, which may point to their above average abilities.
According to Norton, there are no magic answers when parents and educators ask what they can do to influence optimal physical brain development in their children. She says neuroscientists are starting to understand what supports a healthy brain, but there isn't enough evidence to give parents specific advice on what to do for their child at a specific age or stage of development for the brain specifically.
She says, "We know about things that can negatively influence brain development. For example, severe early life stress for children is detrimental to brain development. On the positive side, we also know that having rich, reciprocal conversations with your child is beneficial in fostering language development. Making sure they have developmentally appropriate activities is important. Ensuring the child is getting enough sleep and has good nutrition is key. I know it sounds like the same things we've been saying for decades, but there isn't quite enough research to provide concrete recommendations beyond that." Norton feels we may be closer than ever in finding answers to some of these more complex questions.

I know it sounds like the same things we've been saying for decades, but there isn't quite enough research to provide concrete recommendations beyond that.
"We're nearing a time when those answers may become more readily available, but we aren't there…just yet," she says. "We're now at the phase of starting to understand what brain differences look like for children of differing intelligence and abilities," says Norton. "The next step in research will be for us to answer, 'Is there a way to make a change?' Hopefully, I'll be able to report back soon."

Like many of the students at Center for Talent Development, I was in the gifted and talented program in Dripping Springs, TX, from grades 7 through 12. I loved the program, particularly the hands-on experiences, which sparked my love of learning.
My undergraduate degree is through University of Texas-Austin, where I participated in an interdisciplinary honors program which develops critical thinking skills and allows students to pursue their passions through a variety of fields. I obtained a second degree in psychology, which gave me the opportunity to become an undergraduate researcher. I loved the work so much that my advisor suggested I check out the exciting work Northwestern is doing, so I applied directly from undergraduate school and was accepted.
Within the area of psychology, there are a lot of subspecialty areas, like clinical research, personality, and behavior. In my case, I'm in the Brain Behavior and Cognition (BBC) area and work in the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Northwestern. I'm interested in memory and what the brain is doing during sleep.
For example, when we talk about having good memory, it can mean two different things: it either means you can remember lots of detail about a specific event in your life, or it means you have taken a lot of similar memories and abstracted a basic rule from them. We know sleep is good for memory, but we haven't actually compared the two types of memory—whether sleep is helping people generalize information so they can apply rules to new situations or if it just helps solidify details from specific memories. I want to answer those questions through my dissertation.
One project I'm working on right now is on lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when you're in a dream and know you're in a dream. You often have control over your actions and what happens to you. We want to understand more about how the brain reacts when people know they are in a lucid dream and, ultimately, whether people have greater control over their thoughts, actions, and memories.
However, sleep research takes a long time. It can take up to four hours to collect data from one person. Participants come in, do a memory test, take a nap, wake back up, and do a follow-up test. We record electrical impulses in the brain using electroencephalography (EEG), where small discs (electrodes) are attached to the scalp with wires.
One of my life goals is to share knowledge and to help scientists be better communicators. The AAAS Mass Media Fellowship is a prestigious program which accepts graduate students from different science fields and places them at various news organizations around the U.S. Voice of America is a government-funded, editorially independent news source primarily distributed in countries that don't have a free and open press. While most people in the U.S. haven't heard of Voice of America, we have 200 million readers worldwide. Much of my work isn't read in English, but is translated and sent around the world in up to 45 languages.
I started the phdrinking podcast because I feel it's important for people to know all the cool things that are being researched and discovered by graduate students. There are some very interesting studies happening around the world, and I want to share this knowledge with others. In two years, I've recorded around 60 episodes, on topics including gravitational waves, prairie restoration, white sharks, proteins, and even French literature.
It's interesting you bring this up. I want people to know there's a lot of exciting work to be done at a variety of levels.
When I was in high school, I took a psychology class and liked it, but left the class thinking that becoming a neurosurgeon was the only way I could stay involved with understanding the brain. It turns out there are a lot more options.
There are people who study all different aspects of the brain! Some study brain development, from birth through old age. Others study how babies learn to crawl and develop language. Genetics looks at how neurons and genes work together, like software and hardware, to make brains function. There's some new evidence that glial cells are important for the way our brains work, and they may impact cognition a lot more than previously understood. There are interesting questions to explore, from the microscopic all the way to human and animal behavior. Many fields overlap in interesting ways, and it's possible to find your niche.
Following your passion is really important. Beyond taking classes, it's important to connect with people working in the field. Can you meet with a professional to talk about their day-to-day life? What types of skills did they have to develop to get into a field? I found having an honest conversation with someone as to what they do, why they're interested in it, and how they do it—basically, letting the conversation guide you to interesting topics—is the most valuable way to gather information.
In terms of classes, I followed what I was passionate about or what piqued my interest. On a lark, I happened to take a class on hormones and behavior and it became one of my all-time favorites.
Absolutely! Graphic design, artistry, and storytelling is really important if we expect science to be well understood or well shared. We often hear about "big data," but it begs the question: How are we going to understand it, visualize it, and put it to use? We need a humanities-artistic interpretation to understand the story data are telling us.
Interesting work is being done in the area of data visualization and how people comprehend data. It's a mix of how our brains interpret graphics and understand the message we are trying to communicate. There's an online newsource called The Pudding that showcases complex information with easy-to-understand visuals.

Kids shouldn't have to be worried about knowing exactly what they want to be when they grow up because that's going to change many times…and that's okay. Follow your interests and passions by going to public talks, reading books, listening to podcasts, and taking courses like those at Center for Talent Development. The more you explore an area you're interested in, the more you know what you care about and see opportunities open up. It's important to explore as early as possible, but not in a stressed out way. Treat it as a fun adventure and not always necessarily about a career…and you'll always carry those connections with you the rest of your life.
Sadie Witkowski is a Ph.D. student at Northwestern University, exploring unanswered questions in the areas of the brain, memory, and sleep. Interested in the convergence of science and science communication, she was awarded an AAAS Mass Media Fellowship and is spending this summer as a journalist for Voice of America in Washington, DC.

Trip to the Moon!Standard
Dear Journal, April 20, 2005
Today was an exciting day for me. Just a few weeks ago i put in an ESSAY for NASA about the moon, the winner receives a trip to the moon with NASA. They first sent me a letter saying that I didn't win, but just later today they called telling me that the winner had dropped out. I'M GOING TO THE MOON!
Dear Journal, April 24, 2005
Tomorrow I'm leaving to head to NASA! I'm extremely excited and nervous at the same time. What if i don't like the space food or when we leave the Earths very last layer ,called the corona, it's hard for me to breathe, or we crash!? What will i do? I need to call NASA and tell them I'm not going. No, I've worked hard for this. I'm going, I'm going to go! I better go to bed, I need a lot of sleep for tomorrow!
Dear Journal, April 25, 2005
I'm on my way to NASA! I brought everything they told me to bring….. I think. Oh no! out of everything I forgot my shoes! MY SHOES! I can't believe it! I'm already half way to NASA! Now my mom is going to be mad at me, but i have to have shoes! I need to go, we're stopping to eat!
Dear Journal, April 26, 2005
I'm in the space shuttle! There is so many buttons in here, i have to try really hard not to hit any! I've seen a lot of bright stars, it's unbelievable! The astronauts has been telling me about the Suns surface, which is called the photosphere. They have been telling me about solar flares, sunspots, and solar flares. They told me that they use the Hertzsprung-Russell or H-R diagram to figure out the temperature and the brightness of a star. While we were on our way to the moon we ran into the ISS! Well I have to go! we're about to land!!!
