There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!

At his side stands the magically powerful Phoenix with her life-giving song. The bride is the Phoenix and the groom is the Dragon on their day. Wear a Phoenix Crown (traditional headpiece for the bride), which is hard to find in the US. Integrate these symbols not only in your brocade but in just about every way imaginable.

This week Morwenna, Alison, Jo, Kath Maguire and Ruth Garside descended on the Knowledge Spa in Truro along with 13 people who work in, manage, own or provide services to care homes in Cornwall to explore how to identify, understand and use evidence and to develop ideas to influence the local research agenda.
Our past experience with a number of care home related reviews, including reviews on mealtime interventions, gardens and outdoor spaces for people with dementia and use of antipsychotics in care homes, have highlighted the difficulty in communicating research findings to local care home providers, despite an apparent thirst for understanding and using relevant research evidence. Our reviews of the effects of gardens and outdoor spaces for people with dementia and of older people's sensory engagement with the outdoor environment received widespread media coverage and yet people working in care homes locally were not aware of them.
Kath kicked off the workshop with some beautiful examples of why we can't believe everything we read in the papers and how to go about appraising the evidence. Alison and Morwenna then demonstrated how to search for research evidence on the internet using free resources.
After a well-earned lunch (including pasties of course as we were in Cornwall), Ruth gave an overview of some of the current projects that are ongoing in the University – all detailed on our handy resource page and Jo talked briefly about the opportunity for participants to engage with and influence the local research agenda by submitting ideas to PenCLAHRC.
The afternoon was spent initially in small groups, discussing burning issues within care homes and sharing experiences. We were able to identify, through the discussions, issues where staff would benefit from research evidence to guide their practice and areas that are ripe for improvement.
After that we all came back together to discuss our collective thoughts. The discussion was open, passionate and inspiring and the stories the care home staff and managers shared were thought-provoking, stimulating and at times sobering. It was noticeable that underlying all the topics discussed were three main themes – funding, communication, training and obtaining supplies and equipment in a timely way e.g. continence pads. We spent some time thinking about how to turn the issues into researchable questions using the PICO format and many will be considered as part of the forthcoming PenCLAHRC prioritisation process.
Our care home staff left with big smiles, clearly having enjoyed the opportunity to discuss and share experiences and knowledge and keen to meet again in the future.
And so did we! We really enjoyed meeting this group of inspiring and enthusiastic women, committed to delivering high quality care and improving it if they can.

Yesterday we met spent time walking through the factory and we were blown away by just how many people - 20 - were involved in the production of a single simple product - my PJs.
Today, we got to slow down again and spend time getting to know some of them as individuals.
We briefly spoke with Shiwani, an expert trimmer who was smiling from ear to ear most of the time that we were there. Aside from genuinely loving her job, she will be getting married in two weeks and has been saving up her paid leave for the wedding festivities.
One of the things that we have noticed over the last few years is the community that can be generated in ethical clothing companies. Factories that value their people can build solid foundations for a genuinely collaborative & impactful community.
Shiwani's wedding was the buzz of the factory and they were very excited that they'll all be attending her wedding. Unfortunately we had to say no to our invitation to attend.
We also met one of the most trusted members of the team, Ganesh, whose wife also works at the factory as a tailor. They are excited to have recently had a baby and she is currently on paid maternity leave, something incredibly uncommon in the clothing sector.
Ganesh is a great planner, hence why the factory trusts him to manage the deliveries and payments. Together they have experienced the enormous benefit of being paid consistently and on time - a benefit that we often take for granted, but something that is not the norm in the international clothing industry.
Lastly, we got to know one the fantastic tailors, Sanjila, and her family. Originally from Nepal and in her mid 20's, Sanjila has had a roller coaster journey through life. Tragically her father died when she was 15 forcing her to leave school and support her family, especially her two younger sisters.
Using her drive and entrepreneurial spirit, she trained herself to be a sewing expert, working around the clock whilst also caring for her family members. Her reward was the fact that both of her sisters were able to complete their education and are now able to have good stable skilled work.
After the tragic earthquake in Nepal earlier this year, the obligations on Sanjila increased again. Thankful she had been able to send money back to her extended family regularly allowing them to have savings which they called upon in the aftermath of the disaster.
She continues to support her extended family and her dream now is to give her 8 week old daughter Satwa opportunities that she never had. She longs for her daughter to have opportunities that she was deprived of both due to lack of resources as well as gender prejudices.
One of the biggest reasons we have heard over the last 2 years as to why consumers don't buy ethically, is that we don't really know the impact. Well here you are.
It's not about being a hero giving away billions.
It's simply the benefits of buying from companies that treat their workers fairly. The impact of doing business right.

STEVE Robertson produced some mesmerising darts when it mattered to win the Middlesbrough Open at Marton Country Club.
Tyne and Wear's Robertson hit a 12-dart final leg to beat Ormesby's in-form Glen Durrant 4-3 in a nailbiter, picking up the title and £450 first prize in the process.
Robertson, who last year won the British Open pairs title in Bridlington with Dave Prins, had been pegged back by Eston Institute champion Durrant after leading 3-1 but held his nerve to top the 94-man field.
The winner had put paid to hopes of an all-Cleveland final when he beat Colin Foxton, who had produced great darts to beat Andy Lynn.
Durrant threw his best darts of the tournament to book his place in the final with a 3-0 win over Billingham's Gary Stephens.
The runner-up had earlier scored a 3-1 win over Whitby's dark horse Rich Parkin, who halted Peter Frewer's impressive march into the last 16.
Acklam's Lakeside qualifier Glenn Moody lost 3-0 to Northumberland's Andy Lynn in a last 64 cracker.
PDC star Graeme Stoddart also went out in the last 64, while new names reached the latter stages as players from Loftus and Great Ayton attended the competition alongside the best of Cleveland, Durham, Tyne and Wear and Northumberland.
Notable results saw Ormesby Institute pair Dennis Coleman and John Johnson, alongside Paul Skelton, gain their first ranking points before losing to 'Longshanks' Robertson, Foxton and Alan Davie respectively.
Semi-finalist Stephens also beat Durham's Steve Hayton and Robertson came from two legs down to topple Northumberland's Davie.
Durham's Linda Ithuralde proved once again that she is the best lady player in the North-east by beating Pat J Smith in the women's final.
Beaten semi-finalists were Babs Evans and Sue Frost.
The competition was the second North-east ranking event recently sponsored by Millennium Nightclub at Teesside Park.
Organiser Durrant also thanked Coors brewery and Marton Country Club for sponsoring the event.
The next tournament on the North-east darts list is at Ormesby Institute on March 22. Spectators can watch for free, with player registration from 10.30-11.30am. Toe to the oche is at noon.

6 observations from Seahawks training camp opener
RENTON -- The most notable distinction between OTAs, minicamp and training camp is the thousands of jersey-wearing, autograph-seeking fans lining the outskirts of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center practice field during the opening phase of the new season.
That's why some of the more popular images from Sunday's training camp practice, the first for the Seahawks, are of players interacting with the crowd in between plays and taking selfies with children at the end of the day.
Russell Wilson made a group of children's day when he walked over to provide his signature on whatever was handed to him. Bobby Wagner did the same when he halted his post-practice sprint to the locker room to tend to a pair of young boys screaming his name.
And Frank Clark treated a girl donning his jersey to a one-on-one sit down on the pavement, smiling and posing for photos with the tiny fan.
"It's always great," Wilson said of the atmosphere Sunday. "I think back to 2012 when I first got here, experiencing training camp and the energy, and just keeps getting more and more (energetic), and everybody gets super excited now every year to just be back doing what we love most, playing the game of football."
One of the rare moments that didn't fall under the category of heart-warming on this sunny Sunday morning came when a team spokesperson was the first to address the media at the podium, announcing that top draft pick Malik McDowell was home in Michigan recovering from a vehicular accident earlier this month.

There's no takeaway from the first practice larger than that. McDowell, taken with the 35th overall pick in April, was expected to add a great deal of depth to Seattle's pass rush, but now it seems doubtful the defensive tackle sees the field anytime soon.
Asked if there's a possibility McDowell doesn't play this season, Carroll responded, "We'll see."
Carroll did have answers regarding other personnel matters, namely receiver Tyler Lockett and defensive back DeShawn Shead, two projected starters recovering from season-ending injuries in 2016.
In the gallery above are six observations from the first day of Seahawks training camp. Then after you enjoy those nuggets, check out the following photos of scenes from all the day's action.

Stellar Interface
General Information
Developer: ImaginationOverflow
Genres: Arcade, Roguelike
Stellar Interface Reviews
The accessibility of Stellar Interface makes it a brilliant induction to the often impenetrable bullet-hell genre, and the variety of different options, combined with addictive gameplay that keeps you coming back, makes it one of my favourite Switch games of 2019 so far.
Shmup fans will enjoy Stellar Interface for its satisfying roguelike elements but its gameplay surely isn't the best example of the genre.
Nindie Spotlight
Providing a unique take on the combination of traditional arcade shooting and roguelike challenge Stellar Interface is a blast to play once you get over the initial hump. The elements of risk and reward are ever-present, every run tends to go very differently even when working with the same ship, and there are a multitude of builds that I was able to find success with. The boss challenges are pretty significant but rewarding, Endless Mode offers a more traditional arcade experience, and overall there's a surprising amount of great content to be discovered and explored if you're up to the challenge.

The developer will be taking 2,500 sq ft, comprising all of the first floor and most of the ground floor, of the recently renovated 18th century Robert Adam designed Georgian townhouse, comprising 10,000 sq ft.
Following a period of rapid growth, the move to a new headquarters will allow further expansion of the team.

Designed by John Robertson Architects, 30,000 sq ft of space is being transformed, combining the City's heritage with modern and progressive offices.
The Mercers' Company is also creating a new restaurant unit and separate coffeehouse as part of its investment. All works are due to be completed by the end of the year.
David Ainsworth, Chief Executive of CO—RE adds: "8, Fredericks Place perfectly captures the CO—RE ethos; creating world class commercial buildings that are well-located in central London and have cutting-edge design. We are excited about moving in and continuing to grow our business and deliver on our fantastic roster of projects."
Simon Taylor, Property Director at The Mercers' Company, commented: "The signing of such a recognised property development business as CO—RE as the first occupier is a great endorsement of the vision for Frederick's Place. The team has done a great job combining first-class modern office space with a great sense of character."
The firm will move to its new HQ from its current office on Cornhill in autumn 2019.
Knight Frank and Ingleby Trice acted for The Mercers' Company. CO—RE represented themselves.

What a road has led me here! I am so pleased to tell you, Dear Reader, that my second book, Dear Child of Mine, A Devotional for the Unborn Child, has been submitted to a publisher! This time around I went with Westbow Press, a division of Thomas Nelson, the oldest Christian Publisher in the world, having published Bibles and Christian books for 213 years.
I was instructed and inspired by the Holy Spirit to write this when my own daughter became pregnant. My precious granddaughter, Makayla Grace, is one of the biggest blessings I have ever received, and it was a pleasure to pray over her every day as I wrote this book.
I believe with all my heart that praying every single day over your baby from the moment you find out that you are pregnant makes a huge difference in how that child will grow up. So this book is not something you would give as a baby shower gift or a baby gift. It is meant to be read as soon as possible after that wonderful news, "Congratulations, you're going to have a baby!"
The book begins with the miracle that is happening inside the mom from conception forward. The actual devotions begin at Week 6, Day 1 (actually 4 weeks from conception), and continue through Week 41, Day 2, and finally, "You Are Here!" The devotions cover a myriad of topics about the different organs that are forming, what the child is doing at this time, future friends, blessings over their development and birth, and the glory of God's goodness in the baby's life.
Each week has a synopsis of the baby's growth and development, and the physical changes the mom is going through. Each day of that week addresses those beautiful wonders, beginning with Dear Child of Mine, a few words to the baby. In this part, the baby is told how much it is loved by God and the mother, and how precious its life is. It is followed with Dear Heavenly Father, where the mom offers a prayer to God for the miracle He is performing in her body. She prays over her child with gratitude and awe of God's great works. This is followed by a scripture relevant to the topic, and finally a few lines for the mom to write down what her own feelings were that day in her pregnancy. Perhaps she will bless the child with this book when they are grown up and having a child of their own!
This book will be available around 1 October. I believe the publisher offers bulk discounts. I would love to see this book in pregnancy centers around the world, at ministries who provide help for pregnant women, in church bookstores, places where baby items are sold, bookstores, doctor offices, and anywhere a woman can be introduced to the beautiful connection of speaking to her baby as soon as possible.
If you would like more information, or would like me to contact you, please leave a message in the comment section below.
I have included a sample here. Please share this post so that word can get out to the right places, and that pregnant women everywhere can begin praying over their sweet babies. It is a great gift for that new mom (she's a mom from conception) and dad. He can read it too. And grandparents can read it each day as well, knowing that their prayers from farther away are also heard by the baby's spirit. Thank you, and God bless you!

The global preservative blends market is expected to be valued at US$ 167.9 Mn in 2019, and is projected to grow at a 5.6% CAGR over 2019–2029. On the basis of consumption, East Asia and South Asia Pacific are estimated to record high value and volume growth in the preservative blends market during the forecast period.
The markets in Europe and North America are estimated to experience moderate growth in the preservative blends market. Significant growth of important industries such as cosmetics & personal care, food & feed, and home care, among others, in countries such as China and India, is the primary driving factor propelling the growth of the preservative blends market. This is due to the increasing population and growing preference towards the use of hair care, body care, beauty care, and skin care products. Furthermore, ease in formulation and enhancing the shelf life of products are resulting in manufacturers expanding their manufacturing facilities in these regions, which, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for preservative blends.
Rising consumption of cosmetics & personal care products is expected to create substantial demand for preservative blends, owing to the rising consumer awareness towards hygiene and grooming. Moreover, increasing working population and limitation of time are resulting in the increased demand for packed food products, leading to the increased demand for preservative blends from food manufacturing industries.
The demand for preservative blends is expected to increase as a result of rapid urbanization, growing middle-class population, and increasing sustainability. With surging economic prosperity and rising purchasing power, consumers have started using products that were earlier unaffordable to them. This has resulted in the increased demand for consumer products such as personal care products, cosmetics, toiletries, etc. Steady growth of end-user industries is expected to drive the demand for preservative blends over the forecast period.

Prominence in cosmetics & personal care applications
Preservative blends are an important constituent in the cosmetics & personal care industry for preservation from microorganisms.

Preservative blends are also used in hair care, body care, and oral care product formulations, including various products such as mouthwashes, lotions, and other personal care products. Moreover, preservative blends are also used in several baby care products such as soaps, shampoos, and oils, due to easy formulation and the nourishing nature on sensitive skin.
The rising inclination towards using sensitive products for baby health care products is further powering the demand for preservative blends. Extensive growth is also being observed in men's care product lines, which is leading to a rise in the growth of the preservative blends market. Preservative blends are widely uses in such applications, and this is projected to remain driven in the coming years. The growth of the consumer market in developing regions is expected to result in driving the raw material markets, such as the market for preservative blends for cosmetic and personal care products.
Home care products driving the market of preservation blends

Used auto parts warranty- what customers should expect
Many car owners compromise on the quality and warranty of used auto parts. They believe that it is pointless to have high expectations from used auto parts because they are comparatively cheaper and less expensive. They are oblivious of the fact that some companies are likely to offer all the auto parts including Magneti Marelli lights with significance warranty. Therefore, if you think that no one sells used auto parts with a warranty, then you must know that you are wrong. Certainly, buying auto parts from a reputable company can play a substantial role in offering you a great and outstanding automotive component without much effort. Therefore, it is extremely important for us to look forward to selecting the right and suitable auto parts company that sell these components at affordable rates with high warranty. The more we will focus on buying auto parts with a high warranty the better we will be able to utilize them for a longer span of time. Thus, we can say that nothing is more important than the effective functioning and high warranty of a particular automotive part. It would certainly play a substantial role in saving our great amount of time and money.
Sometimes the car dealers and auto parts sellers are extremely savage and on the mission of getting the most money out of the customer's pockets. Therefore, they end up selling car components with a fake and unauthentic warranty. However, the first-time buyers of the car components end up getting fraud because they end up buying car components with a fake warranty. For this reason, it is extremely important for all the car owners to pay attention to selecting the car auto parts company after proper research. The more you will pay attention to completing the research before finally hiring the car auto part company the better you will be able to hire the best and most amazing automotive parts company.
However, the fact of the matter is people don't really know what to expect when it comes to buying auto parts. They don't have any clue of warranty because they are unaware of the fact that even used auto parts are likely to have a warranty if they are designed and manufactured by a reputable car company. Therefore, it is extremely important for us to understand that from mechanical to electric parts; almost all the components of the car must have a warranty. Thus, we must pay attention to buying Volkswagen spare parts Dubai which have a warranty.

At last count, Beaufort County had more than 20 places where those who love ice cream, gelato, sorbet, soft-serve or fro-yo could get their fix of creamy goodness. While frozen yogurt sold by the ounce is the newest addition to Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, other options abound to satisfy cravings for something cold and sweet on a hot summer day.
The first ice cream shop opened on Hilton Head Island in the early 1970s. (Before that, Lowcountry residents had to travel to Savannah or make their ice cream at home). Many customers who first brought their kids to local ice cream shops are now treating their grandkids. The creamy, homemade goodness offered locally is the stuff of memories for locals and visitors alike.
Lowcountry residents and visitors take classic flavors such as Mint Chocolate Chip and French Vanilla for granted, but many shops also embrace innovation with upscale offerings such as Expresso, and kid-pleasing flavors including Superman.
This brightly-colored ice cream comes as a swirl of blue, red, and yellow—the three primary colors of Superman's costume. In addition to regular ice cream, here are some of the varieties of frozen desserts available in the Lowcountry:
Very popular around the U.S., frozen yogurt got its mainstream debut in 1981, thanks to the chain TCBY. It's based on the model of soft-serve but is lower in fat and offers a tangy taste, thanks to, well, the yogurt.
Gelato is Italian for "frozen." The type sold locally is made with milk and small amounts of cream, and is typically less airy than ice cream and also lower in fat and calories. Gelato ripples and forms imperfect scoops because it's so much denser than ice cream.
Made with fruit and containing no dairy (although it may contain egg white), Italian ice is light and refreshing.
A summertime classic, soft-serve was first created in the 1930s. It gets its super-smooth texture from air that's introduced as the ingredients are frozen. Available in limited flavors including chocolate and vanilla, it's most often served in a cone and can be dipped in melted chocolate.
Toppings give an added dimension to any frozen dessert. Rainbow sprinkles, crushed Reese's Pieces, caramel, bits of Oreo cookies, fresh strawberries and slices of mango, hot fudge, whipped cream—the possibilities are endless. At locations with toppings bars, adult supervision is advised. But the dispensers at some shops make adding toppings easier.
Recently in Bluffton, two 12-year-old friends discussed their favorite time to get ice cream. They concurred that "two scoops" is the minimum amount of ice cream one should ever order, but disagreed about the age-old dilemma of cup versus cone.
"Go for a cone," said Leon Mata, a rising eighth grader. "You get two desserts for the price of one."

Here's a beautiful moment from the movie, after Francesco and Clara and their friends celebrate in thanksgiving after they have rebuilt the abandoned church that becomes known as the Portiuncula. It carries a line that I absolutely love... "Do few things but do them well; heartfelt joys are holy." Enjoy!
P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day -- with the ThinkFast this weekend, it wasn't much on my radar... but we'll all enjoy our potatoes for supper!

5 Things You Should Do Before Going Out On A Tinder Date
In the world of online dating and casual hookups, going on a date can seem a little arbitrary. However, with the use of dating apps like Tinder, it is easier than ever to meet new people. It can be a great thing to go out, but all the concerns like, "could he be a nutcase" or "what if she wants me to meet her parents already" go through everyone's mind. So, here are five things that you should do to prepare yourself for your Tinder date.
1. Decide to Meet at a Public Place
You don't want the first Tinder date to be at your place with some random person that could kill you, you know? You want to meet at a cafe, restaurant, or shopping center where other people will be around. You also don't want to pick the dive bar with cheap drinks that no one is at. Stick to more well-known places that are likely to have a small crowd, so if your Tinder date makes you feel like you have any reason for concern, you're not worrying about being alone with them while walking to your car or waiting for your ride. Knowing that other people will be around will also calm your nerves and allow you to have a better time.
2. Tell Your Friends Where You Are Going
This may be another safety precaution that doesn't feel necessary, but the old saying "better safe than sorry" takes precedent here. You are meeting someone you don't know so you will want to take the safe route. If you go somewhere without letting anyone know where if anything were to happen, god forbid, then it is always better to have people know where you were and what you were doing. And, no I'm not just talking about your Tinder date turning out to be a crazy stalker or anything like that. But, if things don't go well and you end up alone, it is always good to have someone know where to find you.
3. Be Ready to Spend Your Own Money
On an official date when a guy asks a girl out and invites her to his favorite restaurant, the guy will typically pick up the bill because he initiated the meeting. Or, vice-versa, when a woman asks a guy out, she should know that if she made the move, she pulls out her wallet. But, in the Tinder date era, things are usually a lot more casual. So, if you are ready for a more casual hang out with a guy you met on Tinder, then know that things should be split evenly. Buy your own burger and fries, or swipe your own card for drinks at the club. Whatever it is, be ready to pony up some dough.
Plus, if you two hang out with the intention of hooking up and the other person is picking up the tab for everything, it can start to feel awfully like an escort situation. Awkward! So, go Dutch and not Pretty Woman.
4. Clean Your Apartment
No date wants to come home with you to find that your room looks like the apocalypse already came and devastated it. Even if you are just looking for a one night hook-up, this one is a must! You are not expecting this Tinder Date to be your one and only or anything, but human decency determines that a messy or dirty room shows that you don't care that they're with you. That sends a negative message to the person you're with. And, if you're trying to send the message that this is a one-time-only thing, it is the wrong way to do it.
5. Be Prepared If You Are Going To Have Sex
Although not every date will end with sex, most people looking for a Tinder date know that it is known for hook-ups. So, if you know you probably will sleep with your date, then be prepared. Now, at the risk of sounding like someone's mother, I will preface my thoughts by saying this; yes, go ahead and have sex! Tinder dates are usually meant to be a way to meet new people, and safely hook-up with others. Why not take advantage of that? The sexual liberation is upon us!
However, having unprotected sex, especially with multiple partners is not liberation. Not using a condom can lead to unwanted pregnancy, STDs, and a whole other slew of problems. So, before you decide to get into bed with a handsome stranger, make sure that you have condoms on hand.

Well, the response the first time around was pretty enthusiastic, so I'm happy to say that the third official MPAE blog release is this double-disc collection of outtakes, rarities and live recordings by one of the most original bands you've never heard of, The Exclusivos.
Nef says, "It took me nearly six months to culminate but here you go. It's all of our music aside from what's already posted. It's 31 songs, all in chronological order. You pretty much get to hear us evolve from start to finish. The compilation ends with stuff we demoed last year. There are also some surprises at the beginning and end of some of the material. There are Instrumentals on there as well."
Admittedly, most of these recordings are pretty damn rough, but, chances are, if you're coming to this blog you're not an audiophile anyway. If you haven't heard The Exclusivos yet, I highly recommend that you begin with the first release I posted, and then come back here after you're completely hooked.
Now bask in the strangeness.

Laser hair removal is used to reduce unwanted hair. Common treatment locations include legs, underarms, upper lip, chin and bikini line. However, it's possible to treat unwanted hair in nearly any area — except the eyelid or surrounding area. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light. That destroys the hair. It essentially destroys the follicle, meaning it can achieve permanent removal. Typically, the hair in treated areas falls out within 2-3 weeks. »» [ Link Details for laser hair removal nagpur ]

Should investors fear a 2016 stock market crash?
Honestly, investors have reason to be ready for market volatility at any time. But there are a few factors increasing the chances of a stock market crash before 2016 ends.
For starters, a 2016 stock market crash or pullback could be triggered by interest rates and poor economic data.
So where should you put your money to successfully thrive in a 2016 stock market crash? Money Morning provides some answers below.
Stock Market Crash 2016 Factors: Interest Rates
Money Morning believes that low and negative interest rates worldwide could lead to stock market declines.
The September meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) left interest rates unchanged at a historically low 0.25%, where they have stood since December 2015.
Nearly 33% of global government-issued bonds now yield not only low, but also negative, yields. The bonds of Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all return below 0%. The European Central Bank has historically low yields. So does the Bank of England.
One issue with these low to negative yields is that they are being done because economies are sluggish. So far, they are remaining sluggish. The stimulus caused by falling rates is already in the economy, and has been for some time.
Investors faced with low or nonexistent bond yields often turn to the stock market as a result. The net effect is to drive up the broader markets to heights that are unsustainable through fundamentals.
Trending: 3 Ways to Profit from a Market Correction
A change in interest rate direction – a sudden hike – can cause a big pullback in stock markets. Businesses and investors suddenly realize that debt service and borrowing for expansion is going to be harder. The period of stimulus is over. They often respond to the shock of a sudden increase with market sell-offs.
Poor Economic Data a Sign of a 2016 Stock Market Crash
The 2016 stock market crash could also be triggered by ongoing economic weakness.
For the last two years, the gross domestic product (GDP) has dropped significantly – 76% from July 2014 through July 2016.
And wage growth? Very low. It stands at only 1.4%. The numbers tell starkly how much the average wage is not rising. Last July, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recorded that weekly average earnings were $364.29. Over the year, they rose only about $5.00, to $369.56.
If GDP growth and purchasing power are not driving the economy, that means less support for a higher stock market.
A sluggish global economy might also be one of the factors driving a 2016 stock market crash. Worldwide, GDP growth registers at 3.1%. It looks better than the U.S. GDP, but the percentage is dead even with last year's – so on average no growth is recorded. It's the lowest rate since the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
Corporate Earnings to Hurt the Stock Market
Despite recent highs in the broad indexes, corporate earnings, in fact, have been falling for an extended period of time.
During the second quarter, S&P 500 corporate earnings dropped more than 3%, according to FactSet. It was the fifth consecutive quarter of declining earnings – the first time earnings have dropped in such a long streak since the financial crisis.
Filings for commercial bankruptcies climbed over 33% in June. Poor earnings and rising bankruptcies are a recipe for declining stocks in 2016.

Judy Penz Sheluk, author of the Glass Dolphin Mysteries and the Marketville Mysteries, as well as various short stories, returns today to talk about antique perfume bottles and how they factored into one of her books. Learn more about Judy and her books at her website.
Facts in Fiction: Herman Tappan Perfume Bottles
Until recently, I was the Senior Editor of the now-defunct New England Antiques Journal. During my decade-plus of employment there, I learned a lot about antiques, the show and auction scene, as well as the various collector associations that represented specific areas of interest. One of my favorites was the International Perfume Bottle Association (IPBA). While I don't collect perfume bottles, the images that accompanied their press releases always captivated me.
|The Herman Tappan perfume bottle
that inspired the text.

When I was writing A Hole in One, the latest book in my Glass Dolphin Mystery series, I needed a decorative item, ideally valued in the $100-$150 range—something my protagonist, Arabella Carpenter, could donate on behalf of the Glass Dolphin antiques shop. I went to the IPBA website and started checking out their virtual museum. When it became quickly apparent that I had no clue what to select, I contacted the IPBA, who in turn put me in touch with longtime member/volunteer and archivist Helen Farnsworth. I did so, explaining my mission, and Helen came to the rescue.
Her suggestion of a figural bottle of a small girl wrapped in a wolf skin fur, made by the Herman Tappan Perfume Company, New York, NY, circa 1890, was perfect, and not just because it was valued in the $100-$150 range. This was the kind of "sleeper" find Arabella might have discovered at an auction or estate sale. While Tappan's colognes and figural bottles were aimed at the middle class and the prices affordable, he's not a household name like Lalique. In short, it was the sort of thing that could have been found in an inexpensive box lot.
Facts in fiction, like this perfume bottle, are often just a small part of the overall book—anywhere from a single paragraph to a couple of pages—but they are by no means insignificant. An author who gets the facts wrong is guaranteed to lose more than one reader for life. Get them right, however, and the author not only satisfies those in the know, she's added another layer to the story, providing a bit of trivia for those who enjoy such things.
A Hole in One
A Glass Dolphin Mystery, Book 2
Hoping to promote the Glass Dolphin antiques shop, co-owners Arabella Carpenter and Emily Garland agree to sponsor a hole in one contest at a charity golf tournament. The publicity turns out to be anything but positive, however, when Arabella's errant tee shot lands in the woods next to a corpse.
They soon learn that the victim is closely related to Arabella's ex-husband, who had been acting as the Course Marshal. With means, opportunity, and more than enough motive, he soon becomes the police department's prime suspect, leaving Arabella and Emily determined to clear his name—even if they're not entirely convinced of his innocence.
Dogged by incriminating online posts from an anonymous blogger, they track down leads from Emily's ex-fiancé (and the woman he left Emily for), an Elvis impersonator, and a retired antiques mall vendor with a secret of her own.
All trails lead to a mysterious cult that may have something to do with the murder. Can Arabella and Emily identify the killer before the murderer comes after them?

INI Seminar Room 1
The $h$-function or harmonic-measure distribution function $h(r) = h_{\Omega, z_0}(r)$ of a planar region $\Omega$ with respect to a basepoint $z_0$ in $\Omega$ records the probability that a Brownian particle released from $z_0$ first exits $\Omega$ within distance $r$ of $z_0$, for $r > 0$. For simply connected domains $\Omega$ the theory of $h$-functions is now well developed, and in particular the $h$-function can often be computed explicitly, making use of the Riemann mapping theorem. However, for multiply connected domains the theory of $h$-functions has been almost entirely out of reach. I will describe recent work showing how the Schottky-Klein prime function $\omega(\zeta,\alpha)$ allows us to compute the $h$-function explicitly, for a model class of multiply connected domains. This is joint work with Darren Crowdy, Christopher Green, and Marie Snipes.

Looking for the perfect party dress for your Christmas night out but just don't know where to start? The gorgeous girls from Ashleigh Money Saver and Simply Be are here to help!
If you're searching for the perfect party outfit to wear to your upcoming festive night out, look no further than Simply Be! With a huge range of sizes, on-trend styles, and an array of gorgeous accessories, there's something you're sure to love.
The girls at Ashleigh Money Saver have been showing you their favourite party pieces on Simply Be's site and in store, and have been showing you how they're styling them to flatter different body shapes, so you can feel inspired and confident, and look incredible at your Christmas party too!
This is Angela, she's 40, a size 14, and fun loving! She was looking for something fun and fashionable that she could have a good dance in, but that was flattering too.
Angela opted for this gorgeous, long sleeved, velvet playsuit with frill detail on the shoulders. It looks great worn with tights if it's chilly, or if you're not confident wearing your legs bare. She paired her look with these thigh high boots for a youthful vibe, a little gold belt to cinch her in, and a star sign glitter embellished bag to add some pretty, festive sparkle to her look. This outfit is great for if you're not in to wearing dresses but still looks Christmas party ready!
Angela says, "I'd have never normally of thought of Simply Be as my first destination for finding a Christmas party outfit and didn't realise that they made clothing in my size until recently. The fit was perfect on all items and made me feel really confident too! I can't wait to wear them throughout the party season, especially the playsuit and thigh high boots which are perfect for dancing the night away! Their range of bags and accessories are also amazing too!"
Angela wears:
Glamorous Curve Velour Playsuit, £45.00
Nicole Over The Knee Boots, WAS: £42, NOW: £24
Star Sign Clutch Bag, WAS: £25.00, NOW: £20.00
This is Megan, she's 22 years old and a size 14. Her style is quite polished and she loves to wear well cut clothing with defined lines and pointed toes. For her party look this year, Megan was looking for a style that accentuated her small waist, and that flattered the areas she feels less confident about- her stomach and thighs.
Therefore, Megan opted for a gorgeous Edwardian style, frill collar dress featuring mid-length sleeves. She's not really in to glitter and sequins, so this velvet, merlot hued dress was perfect for her in that it looks and feels luxurious for a party, but also looks amazing styled with chunky boots and leather for a grungy look through the day!
Megan paired her dress with a contrasting pair of leopard print ankle boots, as she's not really in to wearing heels, and added a skinny belt to show off her fabulous waist. She then opted for a mini, royal blue velvet bag which is great for carrying her essentials, and it keeps with the regal look of the dress too.
Megan said: "I felt really confident in the outfit, I loved how the leopard print boots clashed with the texture of the dress and I think the silver chain detail of the bag really set the whole look off."
Megan wears:
- Velour Tiered Dress, WAS: £49.00, NOW £39.00
- Violeta By Mango Print Ankle Boots, £79.99
- Skinny Studded Jeans Belt, £12.00
- Dune Bonne Bag, WAS: £30.00, NOW: £25.00
This is Nicola, she's 38 and a size 18. She's a mother of two, so likes to get really dressed up for a night out so was looking for something a bit sparkly and fun.
Nicola opted for this gorgeous Joe Browns sequin dress because nothing screams glamour like the style of the 1920's! Nicola loved this dress because it has a bit of a capped sleeve, which takes the attention away from her arms, a cinched in waist to define her wonderful curves, and a floaty skater style skirt, perfect for dancing! She paired her glitzy look with mid-heel court shoes to tone down the look a little and to keep her feet comfortable while she hits the dance floor. She also ordered a gorgeous silver pair of strappy stilettos for when she wants to go all out glam. Nicola then added a beaded box bag in various shades of silver and grey to pick out the detail in the dress.
Nicola said, "Being a mam I rarely get a night out, and if i do, it tends to be for a family meal. Dressing up in this outfit for my Christmas party made me feel confident, glamorous and ready to dance the night away!"
Nicola Wears:
Joe Browns Pretty beaded Dress, WAS: £130, NOW: £104
Grace Court shoe: £27.00
Hannah Cage Heel: £35.00
Joanna Hope Pearl Clutch Bag: £40.00
You can watch the gorgeous ladies talk you through their lovely looks here!
We hope you find the perfect party outfit and wish you a wonderful Christmas night out! Happy shopping!
