But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Lumosity with a 10-minute fit test to challenge memory, attention and problem-solving, training programs that draw from 50 brain games and tools to compare scores with global averages.

Visit St. Pete Clearwater, offering 35 miles of white sand Florida beaches and the Dali Museum, presenting "Ferran Adria: The Invention of Food" through November 27 at visitstpeteclearwater.com.
