Tri-State Marker - Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma (Near Downstream Casino)
Checking out the hidden Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma Tri-State Marker, which is just by Downstream Casino! Worth a little stop and a picture! :) You can access this place 24/7
-----
If you can't make it to Four Corners (the only place where four states meet), this is nearly as good, and it's free, and it's open 24/7.
According to a plaque at the three-state spot, it took an 800-member expedition to map it. They spent nearly six months in 1857 walking only 40 miles from the southwest Missouri border, hampered by rough terrain, heavy timber, and high water. And we enjoy the benefits of their labor; thank you, hardy pioneers!
A massive stone cairn was built at the spot in 1938 by the National Youth Administration, but a weathered plaque on the cairn notes that it doesn't mark the actual spot, which is 50 feet east. This was rectified in Oct. 2004, when the Missouri Association of County Surveyors embedded a stand-here plaque in the ground on the actual three-state spot, which, conveniently, is at the end of a dead-end road. Stand on three states, with easy parking, too.

Chaos' reigns as deadly tornadoes slam several states
MAYFLOWER, Arkansas (CNN) -- A brutal band of severe weather battered the central Plains and mid-South late Sunday, killing at least 16 people in Arkansas and one in Oklahoma.

Some of the worst damage was north of Little Rock, Arkansas, where reported tornadoes devastated the towns of Mayflower and Vilonia.
It's chaos here, said Vilonia Mayor James Firestone. Our downtown area seems like it's completely leveled.
The nightmare is all too familiar for the community of about 3,800 people. Another storm ransacked the town almost three years ago to the day and followed essentially the same path, the mayor said.
There's a few buildings partially standing, but the amount of damage is tremendous, Firestone said Sunday. There's gas lines spewing. Of course, power lines down. Houses are just a pile of brick.
More misery
It was much the same in the neighboring Mayflower, a town of 1,600 about 20 miles to the southwest.
Authorities shut down a section of Interstate 40 after a tornado as much as a half-mile wide roared through the area, according to the National Weather Service.
The well-traveled roadway was littered with crushed and overturned trucks and cars.
CNN meteorologist Chad Myers, who was in Mayflower, estimated the winds from the storm at 130-150 mph.
Emergency workers tended to the scene throughout the night. Shelters were set up at the high school and at a local church.
The city's official website said schools would be closed on Monday.
Ten deaths were reported in Faulkner County, where Mayflower and Vilonia are located, the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management said. The agency confirmed five additional deaths in Pulaski County and another death in White County.
More than 100 were treated at various hospitals in the state.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Jeff Hood said that at least one long-tracked tornado began in Pulaski County northwest of Little Rock and moved northeast from there. The office will be surveying the damage in the coming days to determine the rating of the tornado, and if there were any other tornadoes to hit in the region, he said.
President Barack Obama offered his condolences to the victims of the storm while on a four-nation tour of Asia, promising that federal help was on the way.
I want all affected to know FEMA is on the ground and will help Americans in need and your country will be there to help and rebuild as long as it takes, the President said from the Philippines.
'Tell the public to stay away'
Before slamming into Arkansas, witnesses spotted a twister in the northeast Oklahoma town of Quapaw, where one person died, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office said.
Joe Dan Morgan, the county's emergency manager, said rescuers were working in an area where a concrete wall crashed onto a car.
There were other reports of damage in the community, stretching thin local resources.
Search and rescue is under way involving several agencies, county emergency dispatcher Kelly Flecks said. Please tell the public to stay away so they can do their jobs. We can't confirm anything else at the moment.
Quapaw is located near the border with Kansas and Missouri.
The same line of storms hit Baxter Springs, Kansas, just a few miles to the north.
Sixty to 70 homes and at least 20 businesses were reported destroyed, said Cherokee County emergency manager Jason Allison.
A tornado estimated to be three blocks wide rumbled through the town of 4,200, he said.
Picher, Oklahoma
Picher is a ghost town and former city in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, United States. Formerly a major national center of lead and zinc mining at the heart of the Tri-State Mining District, over a century of unrestricted subsurface excavation dangerously undermined most of Picher's town buildings and left giant piles of toxic metal-contaminated mine tailings (known as chat) heaped throughout the area. The discovery of the cave-in risks, groundwater contamination and health effects associated with the chat piles and subsurface shafts—particularly an alarming 1996 study which showed lead poisoning in 34% of the children in Picher—eventually prompted a mandatory evacuation and buyout of the entire township by the State of Oklahoma and the incorporation of the town (along with the similarly contaminated satellite towns of Treece and Cardin) into the Tar Creek Superfund site.
A 2006 Army Corps of Engineers study showed 86% of Picher's buildings (including the town school) were badly undermined and subject to collapse at any time. An F4 tornado which destroyed or damaged 150 homes in May 2008 accelerated the exodus. The town ceased official operations on September 1, 2009 and the population plummeted from 1,640 at the 2000 census to just 20 at the 2010 census. As of January 2011, only six homes and one business remain, their owners having refused to leave at any price. The rest of the town's buildings, except designated historical structures, were scheduled to be demolished by the end of the year.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Oklahoma ( (listen)) is a state in the South Central region of the United States, bordered by Kansas on the north, Missouri on the northeast, Arkansas on the east, Texas on the south, New Mexico on the west, and Colorado on the northwest. It is the 20th-most extensive and the 28th-most populous of the fifty United States. The state's name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning red people. It is also known informally by its nickname, The Sooner State, in reference to the non-Native settlers who staked their claims on land before the official opening date of lands in the western Oklahoma Territory or before the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889, which dramatically increased European-American settlement in the eastern Indian Territory. Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory were merged into the State of Oklahoma when it became the 46th state to enter the union on November 16, 1907. Its residents are known as Oklahomans (or colloquially, Okies), and its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.
A major producer of natural gas, oil, and agricultural products, Oklahoma relies on an economic base of aviation, energy, telecommunications, and biotechnology. Both Oklahoma City and Tulsa serve as Oklahoma's primary economic anchors, with nearly two thirds of Oklahomans living within their metropolitan statistical areas.With ancient mountain ranges, prairie, mesas, and eastern forests, most of Oklahoma lies in the Great Plains, Cross Timbers, and the U.S. Interior Highlands, a region prone mainly to severe weather. More than 25 Native American languages are spoken in Oklahoma, ranking third behind Alaska and California.
Oklahoma is on a confluence of three major American cultural regions and historically served as a route for cattle drives, a destination for Southern settlers, and a government-sanctioned territory for Native Americans.

High Speed Chase/Pursuit Ends in Joplin Mo 1-30-2019
Press Release
Pursuit Arrests
Media Contact: Captain Trevor Duncan
This morning at 3:14am a Joplin Police Officer was on patrol in the area of 500 South Moffet. He observed a vehicle in the alley with the trunk open and a male standing next to it. The officer circled the block to contact the suspicious vehicle.
The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed with the trunk open and items falling from it. The officer believed the occupant(s) was involved in a theft and a pursuit began. The vehicle fled through the northwest part of town before entering Kansas. Cherokee County Sheriff’s Deputies attempted to spike the vehicle in Kansas. Galena, Kansas Police Department also attempted to spike the vehicle. While in pursuit in Galena, another vehicle attempted to cut off officers and block the pursuit. The pursuit continued south to the Downstream Exit and then Westbound on I-44. The pursuit continued to the Miami, Oklahoma Exit and entered Miami, Oklahoma. The pursuit then went eastbound on Highway 10 and Newton County, Missouri Deputies were able to successfully deploy spike strips and the pursuit re-entered Missouri. The pursuit continued northbound on 43 Highway over I-44 and Newton County Sheriff’s Deputies spiked the vehicle a second time. The vehicle continued to the bridge Near Zan’s creek and came to a stop. A male and female were taken into custody.
Joseph W. Hood, 36, Joplin, and Nicole L. Teague, 32, Joplin, were arrested out of the vehicle. Hood had 7 Jasper County Felony warrants for Possession, Creation and distribution of a controlled substance and a weapons violation warrant out of Newton County and Teague had 2 forgery warrants, trafficking id’s warrant and a passing bad checks warrants all out of Jasper County. Hood was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, Felony resisting by fleeing and possession of burglar tools.

Further investigation into their activities and the property in the vehicle is on-going. Numerous items were thrown from the vehicle at numerous times during the pursuit as well by the occupants.
The vehicle that attempted to cut off the pursuit was contacted by Kansas Authorities and warrant arrests occurred. We appreciate the agencies that all assisted our officers in this case.
Great job to everyone involved.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ozarks, also referred to as the Ozark Mountains and Ozark Plateau, is a physiographic region in the U.S. states of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The Ozarks cover a significant portion of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, extending from Interstate 40 in Arkansas to the suburbs of St. Louis. A portion of the Ozarks extends into northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas.
There are two mountain ranges within the Ozarks: the Boston Mountains of Arkansas and the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. Buffalo Lookout, the highest point in the Ozarks, is located in the Boston Mountains. Geologically, the area is a broad dome with the exposed core in the St. Francois Mountains. The Ozarks cover nearly 47,000 square miles (120,000 km2), making it the most extensive highland region between the Appalachians and Rockies. Together with the Ouachita Mountains, the area is known as the U.S. Interior Highlands.

CULTURAS PRECOLOMBINAS 6: Los Nativos de Norteamérica - Inuits, Sioux, Anasazi, Cahokia
EPISODIO 63 de PERO ESO ES OTRA HISTORIA (web serie documental)
***COLABORA EN PATREON***
En este vídeo he querido hacer un repaso bastante rápido por las principales culturas o tribus de Norteamérica, desde la prehistoria hasta la llegada de los colonizadores a partir de 1500. En el Ártico triunfaron culturas como la Dorset, la Thule o la Saqqaq, que darían origen a los Inuits y Yupik.
Los Algonquinos se expandieron del este de Canadá por toda la costa este de los Estados Unidos, y dieron lugar a tribus como los Cree, los Mohicanos, los Cheyenne o los Pies Negros, quienes vivían en las típicas chozas llamadas Wigwams. Junto a ellos vivían los Iroqueses, como los Mohawk y los Cherokee.
Por otro lado, en la zona del río Mississippi se instalaron culturas como la Adena, la Hopewell y la Cultura Mississippi, cuya gran ciudad fue Cahokia. Por las llanuras del centro de norteamérica vivían los Sioux, los Crow, los Cheyenne, los Shoshones, los Comanche y muchos otros.
Finalmente, en las zonas más desérticas aparecieron culturas como la Clovis, la Mogollón y la Cultura Anasazi, que acabaron evolucionando en los Pueblo (Hopi y Zuñi) y guardan bastantes misterios, como sus curiosos petroglifos y su repentina desaparición.

01:16:00 15 Notes
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Oklahoma ( (listen)) is a state in the South Central region of the United States, bordered by Kansas on the north, Missouri on the northeast, Arkansas on the east, Texas on the south, New Mexico on the west, and Colorado on the northwest. It is the 20th-most extensive and the 28th-most populous of the fifty United States. The state's name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning red people. It is also known informally by its nickname, The Sooner State, in reference to the non-Native settlers who staked their claims on land before the official opening date of lands in the western Oklahoma Territory or before the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889, which dramatically increased European-American settlement in the eastern Indian Territory. Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory were merged into the State of Oklahoma when it became the 46th state to enter the union on November 16, 1907. Its residents are known as Oklahomans (or colloquially, Okies), and its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.
A major producer of natural gas, oil, and agricultural products, Oklahoma relies on an economic base of aviation, energy, telecommunications, and biotechnology. Both Oklahoma City and Tulsa serve as Oklahoma's primary economic anchors, with nearly two thirds of Oklahomans living within their metropolitan statistical areas.With ancient mountain ranges, prairie, mesas, and eastern forests, most of Oklahoma lies in the Great Plains, Cross Timbers, and the U.S. Interior Highlands, a region prone mainly to severe weather. More than 25 Native American languages are spoken in Oklahoma, ranking third behind Alaska and California.
Oklahoma is on a confluence of three major American cultural regions and historically served as a route for cattle drives, a destination for Southern settlers, and a government-sanctioned territory for Native Americans.

SUMMARY
=======
The Midwestern United States, also referred to as the American Midwest, Middle West, or simply the Midwest, is one of four census regions of the United States Census Bureau (also known as Region 2). It occupies the northern central part of the United States. It was officially named the North Central Region by the Census Bureau until 1984. It is located between the Northeastern United States and the Western United States, with Canada to its north and the Southern United States to its south.
The Census Bureau's definition consists of 12 states in the north central United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The region generally lies on the broad Interior Plain between the states occupying the Appalachian Mountain range and the states occupying the Rocky Mountain range. Major rivers in the region include, from east to west, the Ohio River, the Upper Mississippi River, and the Missouri River. A 2012 report from the United States Census put the population of the Midwest at 65,377,684. The Midwest is divided by the Census Bureau into two divisions. The East North Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, all of which are also part of the Great Lakes region. The West North Central Division includes Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, and South Dakota, several of which are located, at least partly, within the Great Plains region.
Chicago is the most populous city in the American Midwest and the third most populous in the entire country. Other large Midwestern cities include (in order by population): Columbus, Indianapolis, Detroit, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, Wichita, Cleveland, St. Louis, St. Paul, Cincinnati, Madison, and Des Moines. Chicago and its suburbs form the largest metropolitan statistical area with 9.9 million people, followed by Metro Detroit, Minneapolis–St. Paul, Greater St. Louis, Greater Cleveland, Greater Cincinnati, the Kansas City metro area, and the Columbus metro area.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ozarks, also referred to as the Ozark Mountains and Ozark Plateau, is a physiographic region in the U.S. states of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The Ozarks cover a significant portion of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, extending from Interstate 40 in Arkansas to the suburbs of St. Louis. A portion of the Ozarks extends into northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas.
There are two mountain ranges within the Ozarks: the Boston Mountains of Arkansas and the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. Buffalo Lookout, the highest point in the Ozarks, is located in the Boston Mountains. Geologically, the area is a broad dome with the exposed core in the St. Francois Mountains. The Ozarks cover nearly 47,000 square miles (120,000 km2), making it the most extensive highland region between the Appalachians and Rockies. Together with the Ouachita Mountains, the area is known as the U.S. Interior Highlands.

SUMMARY
=======
As general terms, Indian Territory, the Indian Territories, or Indian country describe an evolving land area set aside by the United States Government for the relocation of Native Americans who held aboriginal title to their land. In general, the tribes ceded land they occupied in exchange for land grants in 1803. The concept of an Indian Territory was an outcome of the 18th- and 19th-century policy of Indian removal. After the Civil War (1861–1865), the policy of the government was one of assimilation.
The term Indian Reserve describes lands the British government set aside for indigenous tribes between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River in the time before the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).
Indian Territory later came to refer to an unorganized territory whose general borders were initially set by the Indian Intercourse Act of 1834, and was the successor to the remainder of the Missouri Territory after Missouri received statehood. The borders of Indian Territory were reduced in size as various Organic Acts were passed by Congress to create incorporated territories of the United States. The 1907 Oklahoma Enabling Act created the single state of Oklahoma by combining Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory, ending the existence of an Indian Territory.
