Many of us have jobs where we are seated for long periods of time, or we are stuck in a

meeting room or behind a desk from morning until night.

Then when our day is finally done it's easy to go home and get comfy on the couch in front

of the TV.

Technology has become a huge part of our lives and it's easy to sit back and let it do

all the work.

Soon we may not even have to think for ourselves.

But might I suggest a break from the TV or working, allow the brain to reset and offer

something completely different.

This fun challenge offers exactly that.

It's quick to do and is incredibly simple, but it demands some focus for a short while!

This type of challenge is becoming more common and I think it's a good trend as it keeps

our brain active.

Most do not get it Look at the picture of the sea of Ws and see

how many letter M you can spot.

They are there!

To make it more of a challenge you have ten seconds to find all of them.

Most people fail to complete this correctly on their first attempt.

How many M can you find in the picture?

A big part of the challenge is to cover a fairly large and detailed area in a relatively

short period of time – and not everyone is able to do it.

you will find the answer as the M are marked in white.

Now it's time to compare notes.

The correct answer is that there are 10 M – one letter on each line!

Now press the share button if you found at least 5 M as that's a good result!

Do not forget to share this fun picture puzzle with your friends.

Psychologist reveals how many hours kids should be allowed to use smartphones - Daily News - Duration: 8:00.

  A two-hour limit on smartphone time can boost children's brain power, a new study has found

 Scientists discovered a clear link between restricting screen use and improved thinking skills

 Canadian researchers looked at 4,520 children aged eight to 11 for the study, which showed that longer breaks from devices help cognitive function, while outside activity benefits physical health

 So what does too much time with technology actually do to children's brains, how can you help them cut down, and what should they be doing instead? What can too much screen time do to our children's brains?  Psychologist Dr Susan Marchant-Haycox says brain imaging has shown that frequent users of smartphones tend to have smaller grey matter in the anterior cingulate cortex – the brain region that serves cognition and motor control – which can inhibit a person's ability to pay attention

 She adds that obsessive screen time can cause a greater risk of depression, anxiety, insomnia and impulsive behaviour

One study suggests that smartphone obsession can cause greater levels of the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid, GABA

 Susan says: "GABA in the brain's cortex inhibits neurons, compared to levels of the neurotransmitter called glutamate-glutamine, which energises brain signals

 "That will create a chemical imbalance in the brain, which can cause anxiety. What can too much screen time do to our children socially and physically?  Spending too much time glued to a screen can make children introverted due to a lack of social interaction, says Dr Marchant-Haycox

 This means that youngsters can "become prisoners to their own mobiles or tablets"

 Dr Michael Hogan, a lecturer in psychology at the National University of Ireland, says that smartphone use is a modern extension of children watching television after school – except now they're watching on portable devices

 He said of the gadgets: "They've got better and better, which means they are certainly more engaging than they used to be – and will continue to no doubt get more sophisticated

There are lots of techniques which are used to draw people back in again and again

 "Our social motivations are pretty much universal and have not changed in the last 20 years, but instead the social engagement is being moved to the screens

 "It's quite easy to engage on a device, so this screen time is taking away from face-to-face time

There is the risk of a child becoming more insular."  A study published this year showed that youths who use social media a lot are at greater risk of sleep disturbance that leads to obesity, while there was a 40% decrease in obesity in those whose parents limited their screen time

Smartphones and creativity  Dr Marchant-Haycox argues that excessive use of mobiles and tablets can also inhibit creative thinking – but there can be some advantages to a child's development, depending on how the devices are used

 "Some research suggests that mobile devices could encourage and support imaginative play, rather than just keeping children occupied," she says

"But a time limit of mobile or tablet usage must be monitored by parents."  Dr Hogan suggests analysing what your child is like in the presence of other youngsters, to see whether they actively engage in physical, real-life scenarios, or stay buried in their gadgets

 He says: "If they turn to their phones when they are in a stimulated environment it may mean you need to monitor their time use

"  And he says that while some video games may seem more stimulating than other things, it's about mixing up different activities, in the way you might vary your child's diet

 Often, children will copy each other, so if one is playing a game on their phone after school, others are then more likely to do it too

 Not only can this prevent children from engaging socially, it can also leave them feeling stressed if they can't check their phones

 A lot of games and social media sites are also designed to be addictive, which can worsen "checking behaviour", explains Dr Hogan

 "The practical advice is to ask your children if they can try and monitor their own behaviour – why are they checking their phones, what do they hope to gain from it, and what are they worried about missing out?  "It's also about getting them to tune into their emotions when they don't check their phones

 "It's an extension of a 'fear of missing out' – and about realising missing out is not going to be a threat to their life or behaviour

 "They need to gain some control and autonomy over their own behaviour." How much is too much?  Dr Hogan says "it would be a mistake to assume there is a limit of time use" because every child is different

He adds: "It's about getting that balance. Be aware of what your kids are engaging with and set limits

 "There is an obvious trade-off: the more time you spend on social media or playing video games, the less time you have are engaging in real-world physical, social or intellectual activities

"  He adds that context is also very important. For example, watching TV with friends or family can be interactive and fun, and help reinforce relationships

 Dr Marchant-Haycox explains: "Research suggests that children spending two or more hours on mobile phones can impact on brain functioning

 "But much more research needs to be done, especially as we see a continuous increase in social media obsession and more and more children are becoming prisoners in their own homes

Kavanaugh Accuser Remembers How Many Beers She Had, But "Forgets" Other Major Details - Duration: 4:19.

Christine Blasey Ford stated in her opening, during today's testimony against Brett Kavanaugh,

that she remembers a time when she wanted "two front doors" during a remodel of

her home.

She also previously recalls that she only drank "one beer" at a/the gathering in

which she was assaulted.

Sign the official petition to tell Congress to confirm Brett Kavanaugh here.

However, there's one big detail that she seems to forget which is the number of guests

who were at the small gathering she attended in which she claims that she was sexually

assaulted by Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and some other details remain a bit cloudy as well.

Perhaps it was the way that her story was worded, but there seem to be holes exposed

in Ford's story that were identified by multiple sources.

She's testifying right now and she can't recall exactly tell how many people were at

the small gathering where she claims she was assaulted.

Previous to this, her story appeared to change in regards to how many people were present

at the party, even though it wasn't really a party.

I can't call four or five people a party.

That's a small get-together.

Fox News stated, in regards to her jogged memory, "In the handwritten statement, Ford

writes that "there were 4 boys and a couple of girls" at the party.

But in Ford's letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in July, Ford gave a different tally,

writing that the gathering "included me and 4 others."

This is an obvious discrepancy that could lead someone to disbelieve Ford's story

about Kavanaugh.

Sign the official petition to tell Congress to confirm Brett Kavanaugh here.

One thing that should be pointed out is that if she was at a party with 20+ people, then

it surely might be hard to remember who was there.

However, she was not at a party.

She was at a small get-together, a gathering per say, and that right there puts a huge

hole in her story.

Why?

Because if you're at a small gathering of only a few people and you're sexually assaulted,

then you would remember every single person who was there.

Ford remembers things like wanting two front doors later in life, drinking one beer at

the gathering, but she can't recall who exactly was there or could not remember any

of the major details about the location of her alleged assault.

There are so many victims out there who remember the specific details because being sexually

assaulted could be one of the most horrific events in someone's life.

Why doesn't Ford have many details?

Benny Johnson from the Daily Caller pointed out the variations of the story

"Christine Blasey Ford has changed her story multiple (!) times:

For Polygraph: "Four boys and a couple girls."

To Feinstein: "Four others"

To Washington Post: "Four boys at the party."

To CNN: "Four boys and a girl"

AGAIN: No one remembers this party"

Ford was asked, by Rachel Mitchell, if she has told everything she remembers from the

incident.

Ford said she believes so.

Ford stated that she can't remember how she got home.

How does she not remember how she got home if she was just sexually assaulted and finally

able to escape?

Wouldn't she remember the treacherous run home?

Or wouldn't she recall the person who came to save her and drive her home?

If someone rescues another from a situation as horrific as she describes, then they would

probably remember the person who came to their side.

If someone was sexually assaulted and ran away, then they would remember it.

Do you think Ford's story has too many holes or selective memory?

Christine Blasey Ford believes 100% that Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her, as per Ford's answer

to Mr. Dubin during the Kavanaugh hearings.
