Puzzles are also good for the brain. Studies have shown that doing jigsaw puzzles can improve cognition and visual-spatial reasoning. The act of putting the pieces of a puzzle together requires concentration and improves short-term memory and problem solving. Using the puzzle as an exercise of the mind can spark imagination and increase both your creativity and productivity.
It can be a solitary activity or a collaborative activity with someone else.
Spending time alone with a puzzle is also a great way to unwind and reset from a busy day. Working on a puzzle with someone can help you get away from screens and create a personal connection. Every time I visit my family in Michigan, my mom and I have a jigsaw puzzle to work on. I look forward to spending this time with her collaborating and catching up.
There is nothing more satisfying for me than putting the last piece of the puzzle in its place. It provides a sense of accomplishment. I encourage you to take this time to find a puzzle of your liking — it will be like a mini-vacation from the outside world.
австралия держит мировой рекорд по вымираниям млекопитающих. мы потеряли 20 видов в последние 200 лет, почти половины общемирового показателя в то время. но грядущая экологическая трагедия в тасмании может означать этот мрачный рекорд собирается получить хуже.
млекопитающее вымираний на материке были вызваны в первую очередь, лисицы и дикой кошки. лисицы никогда не утвердились в тасмании, и хотя тасмания диких кошек, они, кажется, имеют мало влияния. помимо исчезновения тыласина (далее «тасманский тигр»), тасмания сохранила здоровую фауну млекопитающих.
лисица теперь имеет точку опоры в тасмании, недавней серии случайных внедрений и, возможно, вредоносных выпусков. тасманские дикие животные и сельскохозяйственные власти стремятся сильно подавить эту небольшую популяцию, прежде чем она взрывается и разрушает их острова биоразнообразие и наносит вред сельского хозяйство.
australia holds the world record for mammal extinctions. we have lost 20 species in the last 200 years, almost half the global total in that time. but an impending ecological tragedy in tasmania could mean this dismal record is about to get worse.
mammal extinctions on the mainland were caused primarily by the red fox and feral cat. foxes never became established in tasmania, and although tasmania has feral cats they seem to have had little impact. aside from the extinction of the thylacine (the “tasmanian tiger”), tasmania has kept a healthy mammal fauna.
the fox now has a foothold in tasmania, thanks to a recent series of accidental introductions and possibly malicious releases. tasmanian wildlife and agricultural authorities are striving mightily to suppress this small population before it explodes and wrecks their island’s biodiversity and damages farming
