Today's Daily Brain Teaser (May 07, 2013)

What Fruits?



A different fruit (a total of twelve) is buried in every one of the following lines.



Example: A word is considered 'buried' when it can be read like P A R I S in the sentence "Grand-pa(pa ris)es at seven every morning."

Can you detect them?



Ah! If I get my good ship home

I'll find a tempting spot,

Where mayhap pleasant flowers will bloom,

And there I'll shape a charming cot.



Where bees sip nectar in each flower,

And Philomel on hawthorn rests,

I'll shape a rustic, sun-kissed bower -

A bower meet for angel guests.



Then she who lives and loves with me,

Sing our days of calm repose,

Sole monarch of the flowers will be -

For Myra is indeed a rose.

Vocabulary : Word of the Day : Rakish

rak-ish



adj. :: Having a saucy appearance indicative of speed and dash.



"A tricorn trimmed with gold lace was set at a rakish angle over a wig of white curls that dropped down to his waist." -- Collodi, Carlo

Stress : Posture

Having a good posture is very important because it allows you to breathe properly. With hunched shoulders, the volume of your chest cavity is reduced which limits your ability take deep breaths. Even a small slouch can cause you to have shallow breathing and increased stress.



Additionally, walking around with hunched shoulders gives off a negative appearance and can cause you to feel worse. If you walk proudly with your shoulders back and you head straight you will feel better and the people you interact with will feel better. If you want to experiment with this, take a 10-minute walk down the street with your head bent to the ground and your shoulders slumped. How do you feel? Now take the same walk with your head straight and making eye contact with the people you meet. You'll feel a lot better at the end of the second walk.

Memory : Rashomon Effect

The Rashomon Effect is the phenomenon by which observers of an event can produce very different but entirely plausible accounts of what happened. This is because every person has a unique set of life experiences that cause him to pay attention to things in his own way. Physical position and personal relationship to the event, as well as psychological makeup, determine how a person will perceive it. This is one reason why eyewitness testimony can be so unreliable.



For example, two fans are at the same baseball game. They are rooting for opposite teams. Once the game is over, the fan of the winning team is likely to have a very different memory than the fan of the losing team, even though they were watching the same game.
