1. Brain Is Very Special

In this list of brain improvement tips reveals that human’s brains differ substantially in physically and functionally. This method can help all people study many other subjects in their way. When people are assured and calm they can use incredible and untapped brain power, they will achieve all of things they want.

2. Brain Needs A Good Challenge

If people are trying to study something too slowly, they can feel as if they are in the special drone zone. If people do not challenge their brains, they will turn off. All people can use a special stimulating environment to turns on their brains and grow them.

In contrast, if people are trying to study new things too fast all of them will feel frustrated. This is the first reason for you to find a special optimal pace to learn, in which human’s brains can be stretched, but not choked. If they can find the right awesome space, people will be exhilarated and feel accomplished. Therefore, all people must look for the right level of the challenge for their learning, like the right pace, precision.

3. Brain Is A Special Delicate Biological Organ

Brain is a special delicate biological organ, so it will be affected by the physical condition, surroundings, and environment. To boost the learning, people should pay attention to the lighting, temperature, seating and body posture, time of day, air quality, and the nutrition.

My list of brain improvement tips shows that people should ask themselves some essential questions, such as: what make their study more exciting and comfortable? And, they should take some common simple tests to adjust their learning environment.

4. Pay Some Respect To Emotions

Each people carry the brain features and the different limbic system from the evolutionary past. These common centers of anxiety, emotion, passion and fear, can hurt or strengthen human’s learning. Therefore, people should activate their feelings, and boost their learning. They can use association and visualization in their learning. People should think of the special advantages which can reward them for all their efforts. People should visualize themselves as the superstars in the special field and begin enjoying common gratification. By this way people can turn the bad initial resistance into the attraction.

So people should think of what bad feelings can sappy their motivation to study, and then write all of them down, and find the best solution they deal with them.

5. People Have Multiple Intelligences

Don’t think about IQ. Maybe IQ is not a good based indicator as people think. Most human beings have six diffident kinds of the intelligence: musical, poetic, athletic, practical. People should identify their own mental strengths and find their subjects to study with them in the mind. When people encounter new different subject, the brain will be creative about the way the brain can relate.

People need to uplift their study subjects by looking at them from their favorite intelligence perspective.

6. Preview Contents Of Studying Material

People will be able to highlighten the good information to be learned, write or draw the special remarks to discriminate and differentiate the importance of all contents before them.

7. Question The Information

People should create many questions on the sticky-notes, and then put these sticky-notes in the special book margins. Then you should find the short answer in the pragmatic style.

 8. Restatements

Readers must restate the new information in the special notebook with their own special words. All the modification of the statements can lead to a complete comprehension.

 9. Illustrations

People must illustrate this new information with graphs, drawings. People should use the special brain-maps, and then flow these charts to centralize and summarize these studying materials.

10. Imagination

This step is very simple. When people are stepping on the road, just they need to visualize a simple changing reality. For example, when the sunlight poles are bending, the cars will turn into special animals, and the sun will become green. This method is very easy, yet this method can set human’s creative mind on the fire, and people can do it anywhere.

 11. Boost Verbal Fluency

People should do this while they are waiting at the doctor’s clinic in order to kill all the dead moments while doing this tip in my list of brain improvement tips. People should take a small piece of the paper and a simple pen, and then write down a list of a simple mutual category, such as movies, capitals, countries, auto firms, books in 1 minute. After they have finished the long list, write this list again without seeing the old one. Now they need to see and count that how many items they have written in 2 minutes, and how diffident they are. Every time people do this, their list needs to become longer, to contain more items. This is because people can be more organized. And people should do this tip once per day. This tip just consumes 2 minutes of people’s time, but it can give some special substantial accumulative effects on human’s verbal retrieval speed and the fluency.

12. Games

One important method in my list of the brain improvement tips is game. Game is a good method to challenge and boost up people’s cognitive function, while people can improve their memory. Crosswords are common puzzles that can allow people to begin with common ones and increase up to the difficult puzzles when people’s skill levels develop. Sudoku is a special awesome game that must require people to think ahead for the future moves. It means people must have the planning skills, which are the mentally stimulating activities.

You should set time for meditation, so they need to worry about time, and then they will take deep breaths, be aware of the exhalation and inhalation and the simple pause in between.

14. Mind Your Nutrition

People should keep a healthy diet for their own brain than it is for other parts of their own physical body. People should eat the fresh fruit, proteins, vegetables, and healthy fatty acids in some kinds of foods such as fish oils, seeds nuts, and olive oil. Low carbs are very essential, so people should eat whole wheat, grain, and bread in order to get enough fiber.

15. Story Telling

People should talk about gossip, politics, the weather, and the daily things. However, people should plan a good and simple story to stimulate their own brain and improve their memory.

 People can tell a good story about exciting thing for a more positive and better story. People should keep their story short, and simple to provide the sensory detailed vision, sound, smell, touch, temperature, and feelings. They should act out the good story in order to wonder to their brain function.

16. Various Reading

People should read a wider spectrum about many things, subjects. People should not read their accustomed books, papers and magazines. People should reach out of their comfort zone and then expose themselves to new things, contents, and styles. A great mix of the science, fiction, biographies, and literature can give people with the mental substantial stimulation, and the better, integrated understanding of the big world.

It will motivate them to learn all of things that can support them in career and future business. People should acquire a new skill per month and the advantages will double. Knowing the effective method of learning is the most vital and critical skill of all people for practice and repetition.

18. Change Your Routines

If people should do the same things in the same way, their brain will deny these things from processes of conducting thinking in a cerebral cortex. Therefore, people should try to do all the things in many different ways.

19. Grow Plants

The garden planting can activate many of human’s senses, and strengthen the neuro-connections. People should stay close to the nature in order to increase their sense of the confidence and the competency.

20. Try Learning A New Language

People should try to figure out the logical patterns and then produce some new structures, and sentences based on the root logic. People should learn a new spoken language that can help people in their business or career.

21. Physical Exercise

Most people can find out physical exercises in order to get benefits for their bodies, but they have no idea about how wonderful these physical exercises are for their own brain health. The oxygen is the most important food their brain requires. The huge amount of oxygen is delivered to people’s brain via people’s blood stream. Moreover, when people practice many physical exercises, it can increase their blood flow and delivers more oxygen to their brain. Physical exercises also release many natural endorphins which are the natural analgesic. The endorphins will cause their own bodies to feel more contented, reducing all the bad depression and the bad stress.  Physical exercises can reach this good effect such as brisk walking, aerobics, swimming, running and many other different sports. People can check out useful brain exercises  to know more about good exercises for brain.

In the other way, when people lack of their good sleep at night, it will cause their brain to be tired and sluggish and it do not have the total ability to perform at this best capacity of the brain throughout all the day. 

Many healthy foods like nuts and seeds, blueberries, whole grains, and avocados are all super healthy foods. These kinds of foods can supply the nutrients with people, and support them in improving the cognitive thinking, reducing all diseases as hypertension. 

Instead of hoping people had done all the things differently in their youth, changing habits now, and they can affect dramatically their life. Following these useful and easy brain improvement tips people can improve their brain power, health, and fight against the memory loss in order to increase their quality of the life as their age.

Denver Post Helps Partisan Pollsters Fool You

The Denver Post’s Kevin Simpson reports on a new poll from GOP-aligned polling firm Magellan Strategies. Not surprisingly, this poll shows this year’s school finance initiative, Amendment 66, in “serious trouble.”

A survey by Louisville-based Magellan Strategies found that only 7 percent of 600 likely voters said they were “extremely informed” about the proposed amendment, which would revise the way education funds are parceled out to school districts and put more money toward expanded kindergarten, preschool, at-risk students and English-language learners.

Focusing on the tax ramifications, which would provide for a two-step state income tax increase, the poll asked two questions. First, it asked one with minimal information about the amendment and then a second question with more detailed information about the proposed new tax structure.

To the general question, 44 percent indicated they would oppose the measure, compared with 38 percent in support and 18 percent undecided.

The margin against the measure widened with the more detailed question, as 52 percent said they opposed it to 38 percent in support and 10 percent undecided. [Pols emphasis]

Sounds pretty bad for the school finance initiative, doesn’t it? That’s in large part because the Post didn’t tell its readers anything about who made this poll, or what it actually asked in the way of questions. For that rather vital part of the story, we must turn to FOX 31's Eli Stokols:

[T]he results themselves aren’t quite as clear as Coloradans for Real Education Reform, the group that paid for the poll, argue.

First off, the party weighting for this survey is set to 39% Republican, 34% Democrat and 27% unaffiliated — Magellan calls it a “good projection of 2013 turnout demographics”, and it may well be.

Initially, when respondents were asked about Amendment 66 without being told more about what it does, the initiative is losing by a 52-33 percent margin with men.

But, women supported it by a 42-37 percent margin and Hispanics favored it by a 53-34 percent margin…

As Stokols takes the time to explain where the Post didn’t, this poll was more or less engineered to produce the result sought by opponents of Amendment 66. Magellan claims that once voters become “informed” about the initiative, support for Amendment 66 drops across the board–but the “additional information” given in this poll says nothing about what the money would be spent on. Not even that it’s an education initiative at all! Naturally, if your “additional information” consists solely of how much more people will pay, without including anything about what they’re paying for, it’s not going to be received very favorably. Proponents understand that their success depends on what voters will get for their money, where opponents naturally only want to talk about the cost.

Kudos to Eli Stokols for asking the very basic questions that dramatically change the story of this poll. Magellan Strategies, for context, also predicted that Ryan Frazier would defeat Ed Perlmutter in 2010, and Magellan CEO David Flaherty even predicted that year that Tom Tancredo “will become Colorado’s next governor.” Safe to say, their track record is mixed at best.

We’ll leave it to readers to puzzle out why the Denver Post didn’t tell you that.

Gessler Helps Debunk “Gypsy Voters” Mythology?

We've been talking for a few days now about allegations being made by conservatives regarding Colorado's voter registration process after the passage of House Bill 1303, the Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act–which will be in effect for the first time for the recall special elections in two Colorado Senate districts next month. Following some alarmist (and unfounded) comments from GOP Douglas County Clerk Jack Arrowsmith about the supposed possibility of voters being 'bused' into these districts to take advantage of a 'loophole' in the new law, the story spread rapidly through the conservative news ecosystem.

Actual voter fraud is extremely rare, of course, but the conservative coverage of this supposed 'loophole,' implying that it may be legal for voters to converge on these Senate districts from across the state, might actually lead to some number of Republican voters trying to fraudulently vote in these recall elections. We have tried our best to discourage that, but regret we may not have as large a conservative readership as the Daily Caller.

Yesterday, the Colorado Springs Independent's J. Adrian Stanley did a great job debunking the story:

While rare, fraud has always existed. Some people have attempted to register more than once using fake birthdays and Social Security numbers; others have voted more than once under one registration, perhaps by sending a mail ballot, then showing up later at a polling place.

[EL Paso County Clerk spokesman Ryan] Parsell says those types of cheaters are generally caught, and their names turned over to the local district attorney for investigation. But he worries that now, there's another way to game the system: A voter may drive in from an outside district, change his address on his registration form, and vote. Later, he says, a person can change his address back and say he intended to move, but never did…

This scenario has gotten attention on the Internet, where it's often derogatorily referred to as "gypsy voting."

…But there are a few reasons why this may turn out better than it sounds. First, according to an email from Gessler's office to Williams' office, [Pols emphasis] a person must have already moved into a district in order to vote in it.

"The 'intention' language is only relevant after the elector moved," it says.

Second, the same email confirms, clerks can and should refer any fishy behavior to the local DA's office. Ortiz, for instance, says he will track all last-minute change-of-address voters. If the address reverts in the coming months, he'll refer that voter to the DA…

And there's yet another reason why widespread fraud seems unlikely: A last-minute address change has actually long been possible. Ortiz notes that the process was previously called "emergency voting," and it wasn't popular.

The bottom line, as the Independent reports and we said days ago, is that all such misrepresentation is against the law, and anyone who actually votes using a fake residence is committing a felony. The biggest reason there is so much more discussion of vote fraud than there are actual cases is that the penalties are really very severe relative to the infraction–and that is by design. Individual, anecdotal cases of fraud consistently boil down to that one person's mistake or misguided decision, not coordinated plots to swing an election.

Again, unless a bunch of Republicans read this Daily Caller story and decide to attempt just that.
