Whether it’s a crossword, jigsaw, or Sudoku, puzzles engage our brain in more ways than one. Scientists have discovered that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we utilize both sides of the brain, improving memory, cognitive function and problem solving skills in the process. By utilizing puzzles, people can stimulate the brain to improve a number of skills. Test your skills with the winter puzzles below.

Unless fireplaces, wood and gas stoves and gas appliances are properly vented, cleaned, and used, they can leak dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide—a deadly gas that you cannot see or smell. These and other appliances, such as space heaters, can also be fire hazards. Warning Signs Headache - Weakness - Nausea or Vomiting - Dizziness - Confusion Blurred Vision - Loss of Consciousness If you think you may have carbon monoxide poisoning, get into fresh air and get medical care immediately. Precautions to Take Call an inspector to have your chimneys and flues inspected – preferred annually. Open a window (when using a kerosene stove) – just a crack will do. Place smoke detectors and battery-operated carbon monoxide detectors in strategic places – especially in areas where you use fireplaces, wood stoves, or kerosene heaters. Make sure space heaters are at least 3 feet away from anything that might catch fire, such as curtains, bedding, and furniture. Never try to heat your home using a gas stove, charcoal grill, or other stoves not made for home heating. If there is a fire, don't try to put it out. Leave the house and call 911.
