A long line at Los Angeles International Airports security checkpoint had kept him from getting to his gate on time.His grandson Caden would be taken off life support in a matter of hours in Denver, Colorado, with or without his grandfathers presence, according to CNN affiliate KABC.“I was kind of panicking because I was running late, and I really thought I wasnt going to make the flight，” Dickinson told KABC.Thats when a pilot from Southwest Airlines stepped up and held the flight at the gate until Dickinson arrived. The pilot was standing by the air bridge waiting for him when Dickinson arrived in socks, so rushed that he just grabbed his shoes at security and ran through the terminal.“I told him, Thank you so much. I cant tell you how much I appreciated that. And he said, No problem. They cant leave without me anyway，”Dickinson told KABC.Authorities say Dickinsons grandson, Caden Rodgers, suffered a head injury after his mothers boyfriend threw him across the room. The boyfriend reportedly told police he was drunk and high on marijuana(大麻) at the time. The child later died and the boyfriend has been charged with firstdegree murder, according to the Aurora Sentinel.Thanks to the pilot, Dickinson made it to Colorado in time to say goodbye to his grandson. Most airlines would punish any staff member who holds up a flight, according to consumer advocate Christopher Elliott, who broke the story of the sympathetic pilot on his blog. However, a Southwest spokeswoman said the pilots actions were praiseworthy.“You cant hold a plane for every late customer, but I think we would all agree that these were extenuating(可以原谅的) circumstances and the pilot absolutely made the right decision，” Southwest spokeswoman Marilee McInnis said. “I dont think you could ask for a better example of great service for our customers.”()56.

And for those who are unable to visit the museums in person, much of our extensive collection of more than 800，000 objects is cateloged on our website.Only with your generosity can we share the Native story, awaken children to an interest in Native culture, and bring the Museum experience to people who cant travel to our Museums in person.By joining the Museum today, you will take the first step in putting an end to the old stereotypes and longheld prejudices that have contributed to an incomplete picture of Native traditions and accomplishments.Sincerely，Kevin GoverDirector()60.

If this happens often you probably have a pretty capable working memory and a sharper brain, new research suggests.This mind wandering, it seems, actually gives your working memory a workout. Working memory is the mental work space that allows the brain to juggle multiple thoughts at the same time. The more working memory a person has, the more daydreaming they can do without forgetting the task at hand.Researchers studied groups of people from the University of WisconsinMadison community, ranging in age from 18 to 65. The volunteers were asked to perform simple tasks, like pressing a button every time they took a breath or clicking in response to a letter popping up on a computer screen; these tasks were so easy that their minds were likely to wander, the researchers figured.The researchers checked in periodically, asking the participants if their minds were on task or wandering. When the task was over, they measured each participants working memory capacity by having them remember letters while doing math questions. Though all participants performed well on the task, the researchers noticed that the individuals who indicated their minds had wandered more than others also scored higher on the working memory test.“What this study seems to suggest is that, when circumstances for the task arent very difficult, people who have additional working memory resources allocate them to think about things other than what theyre doing，” said Jonathan Smallwood, a study researcher of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitve and Brain Science.When our minds run out of working memory, these offtopic thoughts can take the main stage without us consciously meaning them to; for instance, arriving at home with no memory of the actual trip, or suddenly realizing that theyve turned several pages in a book without understanding any of the words.“Its almost like your attention was so absorbed in the mind wandering that there wasnt any left over to remember your goal to read，” study researcher Daniel Levinson, said in a statement.People with overall higher working memory were better able to stay focused when the task at hand required it. Those who had low working memory often had their thoughts drift away from the task, and did less well at it.The findings add to past research
