3)- HISTORY OF US- Continued.

Having dealt with State of Michigan in the last Post, let us now go back on the 4th State as per Alphabetical order
Arkansas is a state located in the southern region of the United States. Its name is an Algonquin name of the Quapaw Indians. Arkansas shares a border with six states, with its eastern border largely defined by the Mississippi River. Its diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River. The capital and most populous city is Little Rock, located in the central portion of the state.

http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/national/usstatesterritoriesandpossessions/arkansas/index.html

State Bird- Mocking bird.
State Flower- Apple Blossom.
Nick-names- The Natural State, The Land of Opportunity.
Bill Clinton, US President twice serving from 1993 to 2001 was here as Governor for 5 times from 1979 to 81 & from 1983 to 1992.There are 47 hot springs having temp. 143deg F!

http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3320445&cl=22557333&ch=3320481&src=yindianews

9)- BRAIN STUFF:

i)-This is not a test - just a phenomenon. All readings are explained.

Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.




More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see

That the word THE is repeated twice!

Sorry, look again.

ii)-Next, let's play with some words.

What do you see?

 
In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).


iii)- Now, what do you see?

You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?

iv)-What do you see here?

This one is quite tricky!

The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.




v)-What do you see?

You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......

When you look through ME .... You will see YOU!

Do you need to look again?





vi)-Next ....... Test Your Brain


This is really cool.

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST


Count every " F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.

READ IT AGAIN !

Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.

The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.

Three is normal,

Four is quite rare.

Send this to your friends.It will drive them crazy.!And keep them occupied

for several minutes..!

10)- FOOD FOR THOUGHT:





By three methods we may learn wisdom:




First, by reflection, which is noblest;


Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and


third by experience, which is the bitterest.


Confucious
