New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/01/2018 -- Automotive Motors Market: Introduction
An automotive motor is a machine that converts the electrical energy provided by the battery or the engine unit into the mechanical energy. The reverse action of conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy can be found in generators. Most automotive motors function through the interaction between the winding current and motor's magnetic field, for instance, this can be seen in the electric motor which is used for the starting the vehicle and hence it is called as starter motor. Additionally, the regenerative breaking which is used in automobiles, the traction motors are used in reverse action to covert the mechanical energy into electric energy which is stored in the battery system and can be used as per the requirement of the vehicle.
Some of the prominent factors for the growth of the automotive motors market is the electrification of the automobiles and the enhancement of safety features, such as the ABS (Antilock Braking System) and electronic power control. Conversely the electric vehicles require less number of motors as compared to the conventional vehicles, which is estimated to be a threat for the growth of the automotive motors market in the near future. The automotive motors are one of the prominent aftermarket components in the global automotive market as they have a good replacement rate and hence by sales channels the aftermarket segment is estimated to grow with a prominent pace over the forecast period in the global market.
Automotive Motors Market: Dynamics
The motors which are used for the applications such as electric power steering, HVAC system, side mirrors and power windows are in high demand in the global market. Additionally, owing to the aforementioned factor the demand for such motors in the global market is estimated to grow with an incremental rate in the coming years. Whereas, performance motors which are used for the propulsion of the automobiles are expected to hold prominent market share in terms of value and volume during the forecast period in the global automotive motors market. This increasing growth of performance motors is directly proportional to the vehicle production across the globe and its demand is estimated to remain healthy in the global market.
A sample of this report is available upon request @ https://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/samples/18670
The most prominent factors accelerating the growth of automotive motors in the global market include manufacturing, introduction of advanced technology and electrification of vehicles. New rules and regulations enforced by the governments and ruling authorities regarding the safety of the environment, encourage manufacturers to produce environment-friendly and efficient vehicles, which has subsequently resulted in an increase the demand for automotive motors in the global market. High cost of technology and fluctuating prices are acting as key restraints countering the growth of the global automotive motors market. A decline in the number of vehicle production will downsize the global automobile motors market. Electrification of vehicles can also hamper the growth of the automotive motors market as electric vehicles require less number of motors as compared to combustible vehicles.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. When diagnosed with heart disease, most people understand at some level, lifestyle changes need to occur. This usually consists of assuring a nutrient dense diet, exercise (functionally of course!) and medication management is fairly par for the course.
When these interventions aren't effective one can find themselves with medication doses increasing or a "more serious" medication is added to the mix. Despite everything you've been advised to do and HAVE been doing… Your heart health isn't improving. Maybe your heart condition could improve and potentially even reverse if you address the CAUSE.
It's quite natural to wonder, how would chiropractic care help heart disease? It's for back pain issues… How does that have anything to do with the heart? In reality, it has EVERYTHING to do with your back.
The heart and blood vessels are connected to billions of nerves. These nerves send and receive messages within the central nervous system that control your heart rate and blood pressure – both of which are important factors when looking at the entire picture of determining one's heart health. When a misalignment in the spine (subluxation) is corrected, the central nervous system is able to properly communicate and control automatic processes like heart rate and blood pressure – Once properly controlled this leads to:
1) Lower blood pressure – studies show a significant improvement in blood pressure when chiropractors adjust the 1st vertebra, called the Atlas.
2) Improves nerve function within the heart – this is called autonomic tone and impacts organ function in the body.
3) Decreases inflammation – the more inflammation in your body, the greater your risk of cardiovascular events like a heart attack. Adjustments relieve pressure on nerves and this decreases irritation and inflammation. In addition to specific and precise chiropractic care, don't forget to take a quality Omega 3 supplement to decrease inflammation!
4) Improves heart rate variability – the more your heart rate increases and decreases with your own movements (sitting vs. walking), the longer you will live. This is having "good" heart rate variability (HRV). Many patients with severe heart disease have LOW heart rate variability.
5) Decrease in chest pain – Millions of emergency room visits for chest pain could actually be avoided by implementing chiropractic care in managing heart disease. Once a doctor determines the heart is not involved, seeing a chiropractor is imperative. Rib misalignment or thoracic vertebrae subluxation are all causes of chest pain and shortness of breath.
6) Improves lung function – Evidence shows chiropractic care to be very effective in treating conditions such as asthma and emphysema. As heart function depends on strong lung function, if chronic inflammatory lung problems are resolved with chiropractic care this increased lung performance leads to improvement in heart function.

f Impact of Rainfall on Diarrheal Disease Risk Associated with Unimproved Water and Sanitation
Diarrheal disease remains a leading cause of morbidity in areas with limited access to safe water and sanitation. As water and sanitation interventions continue to be implemented, it will be important to understand the ecological context in which they can prevent diarrhea. We conducted six serial case control studies in Ecuador to estimate the risk of diarrhea from unimproved water and sanitation and the potential for effect modification by rainfall. Unimproved water source and unimproved sanitation increased the adjusted odds of diarrhea (odds ratio [OR] = 3.6, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.7–7.8 and OR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.2–2.5, respectively). The OR associated with an unimproved water source was highest after maximum rainfall (OR = 6.8, 95% CI = 1.9–24.5), whereas the OR associated with unimproved sanitation was highest after minimal rainfall (OR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.3–6.6). Our finding that use of safe water sources and improved sanitation facilities are most protective under opposing rainfall conditions highlights the need for integrated interventions to reduce the burden of diarrheal disease.

Marilyn MansonAntichrist Superstar (1996)
Текст песни с переводом слов Marilyn Manson «The Beautiful People» из альбома «Antichrist Superstar» (1996).
The Beautiful People
I don't want you and I don't need you
don't bother to resist, I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
the weak ones are there to justify the strong
the beautiful people, the beautiful people
it's all relative to the size of your steeple
you can't see the forest for the trees
you can't smell
your own shit on your knees
Hey you, what do you see?
something beautiful, something free?
hey you, are you trying to be mean?
if you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
there's no time to discriminate,
that's in your way

The deep blue hues of Waoku Lodge's ocean backdrop made a magical setting for Ash and Tamati Edward's recent summer wedding. Being Raglan locals, the couple wanted to get married close to home and our spectacular location overlooking Whale Bay proved the perfect spot.
Friends and family gathered for a outdoor ceremony followed by sun-drenched dining on the front lawn, a Good George bar and later, dancing under the stars. Take a peek.
Stealing off for sunset photos just after dinner and spending a few precious moments with just each other were some of the highlights of their day. They also loved our apartments and along with their families spent two nights soaking up the relaxing vibe of Whale Bay.

Why is Kickboxing a Excellent Workout?
Would you enjoy kicking stuff? You could possibly enjoy boxing? Would you prefer to workout too? In case you answered yes to all or any three of these questions then kickboxing as being a exercises are best for your needs!
The causes kickboxing is a superb workout are plenty of, but let's discuss perhaps most likely the most significant: weight reduction.
Kickboxing as a possible exercise utilizes your hands, arms, feet, and legs, all in fast, repetitive motions. When training on the punching bag an individual who weighs 120 lbs can expect to burn over 300 calories in only Half an hour. Not only that, but it doubles as weight training, so while calories are burned, muscle is toned.
Combining an exercising aerobically (the one which has a lengthy duration) with an anaerobic exercise (built to be shorter but uses a lots of energy like sprinting) is a fantastic technique when exercising. A kickboxing exercises are similar to running and after that strength training, except simultaneously.
The results which might be achieved, beyond fat loss, include bone strength and density, joint strength, muscle strength, and cardiovascular endurance. And honestly, who wouldn't desire a higher bone thickness? I understand I truly do.
Kicking and punching a punching bag, however, isn't totally offered to everyone. Luckily, you'll find ways to kicking and punching without additional aid. Workout styles like Tae Bo one thinks of. Tae Bo is simply a workout regimen of kicks and punches with a fast pace. This style encapsulates what kickboxing is all about.
Most people, however, fit in with a fitness center or health club. Personally, I've belonged to a few (as the economy gets worse, the establishment I choose changes). Numerous places have classes or designated areas for those who want to try kickboxing. Others don't possess even more than areas to jump-rope, let alone kickbox.
For that gyms who do contain the designated areas, usually classes ensue. Such classes may incorporate Tae Bo-esque exercises; others might primarily be actual kickboxing lessons. At any rate might be, you will find there's destination to practice. You just need to believe it is.
And finding one would cost it. The advantages to kickboxing are as clear as being a pane of glass. The passing it on of someone's knowledge for your requirements is insurmountable. Particularly if most of your resource is something much like the article you're currently reading.
So if you're ready to happy, look fantastic, and still have fantastic bone density. Then its time for you to start kickboxing.

Built in 1927, the German ocean liner SS Cap Arcona was the greatest ship since the RMS Titanic. When the Nazis seized control in Germany, she was used as a floating barracks and troop transport, cast as the "star" in a propaganda film about the sinking of the Titanic, and ultimately packed with thousands of concentration camp prisoners. Just days before Germany surrendered, the vessel was mistakenly bombed by the British Royal Air Force and nearly all of the prisoners were killed in what was the last major tragedy of the Holocaust and one of history's worst maritime disasters.

The scenic, beautiful Natchez Trace Bike Ride for the metro area is in Ridgeland off Pear Orchard. You see two separate views while biking. From Pear Orchard there are many beautiful homes plus the everyday commuter traffic. Once you enter the parkway along the reservoir, the view completely changes.
You feel like you're in your own world because it's just you, your bike and nature—the perfect biking experience. In addition, it's safe for bicyclists all along the Natchez Trace. Bicyclists travel the Natchez Trace from Nashville to Natchez—more than 400 miles. The Old Natchez Trace predates back to Columbus' voyage of 1492. On May 21, 1934, Congress approved money to pay for surveying the route and determining if a Natchez Trace Parkway should be built. Construction of the parkway began in June 1937. On May 18, 1938, the parkway became part of the National Park Service.
On April 22, the Ridgeland Natchez Trace Century Ride, a recreational bike ride along the Natchez Trace, takes place. The ride is appropriate for all levels of bikers. Beginners may choose the 25-mile ride while more advanced may attempt the 100 miles.

Best Place for Yoga:
Butterfly Yoga 3025 N. State St., 601-594-2313
Who knew that finding your feet could be so much fun? I have developed a new-found relationship with my feet since attending classes at Scotta Brady's Butterfly Yoga. In the beginning, I was intimidated by the thought of putting my rear in the air and contorting my body in ways unknown to me, but my fears were relieved when I finished my first class and learned the principles behind Anusara Yoga. This "heart oriented" yoga that celebrates our bodies and our individual abilities is the practice of choice at Butterfly Yoga. The lime-green building in the Fondren District welcomes people to practice at their own pace and allows for creativity and clarity. Inside it is bright and open, just like the wonderful, skilled instructors. Thank you, Scotta, Tara, Kristina, Edy, Dana, Kate and Shauna for making Butterfly Yoga the Best of 2006 and making Jackson a more beautiful place to be.

Best Window Shopping:
Highland Village
Highland Village actually is the best place to window shop in Jackson—if only to see how the other half lives. I can't count the days I've spent wandering in front of their cluster of well-coiffed storefronts stuffing my cold, working hands inside my pockets as I peer longingly in the window wishing that rabbit-trimmed cashmere sweater was covering my cold and rough exterior. Yes, it is rather Dickens and self-flagellating. But, the martinis at Bravo! later on make it all better.

Best Gallery:
Gallery 119 3017 North State St., 601-366-5141
Although Gallery 119 is small, the art dazzles the minds and souls of the people who view it. James Patterson, proprietor, has been a catalyst for the Jackson art scene for more than 10 years and continues to make his mark along with the renaissance of the Fondren area. Article Design shares the North State Street building with Gallery 119. Jimbo Harwell's mid-century modern furniture and accessories compliment the art on display with an explosion of creativity and good taste. —Mandy Mitchell

Best Locally Owned Business,Best Alternative to Wal-Mart:
McDade's, various locations
It's funny to me how quickly your dreams can come true in Jackson. Really. As someone who is devoted to the idea of thinking globally, shopping locally—and who introduced that phrase to Jackson a bit over three years ago—I so wanted a local grocery store to call my own when we moved back here. I wanted to be able to walk up to, say, Mr. Winn-Dixie or Ms. Kroger and say, "How are you doing today? And by the way, could you start stocking my favorite yogurt?" I wanted to able to spend my hard-earned money at a grocery store where the people who work there are empowered to help people—not corporate drones who don't especially care about my problems. I wanted a grocery store that felt as much like a family gathering place as anything else. Was that too much to ask?
No. When Greg and Kathy McDade—transplanted Jacksonians who are now one of the city's power couples—decided to start a local mini-chain of their first Maywood Mart store, we all hit it lucky. We now have a grocery store where everybody knows our name. Or, at least we know theirs. And this is a beautiful thing. With local grocers like these in our neighborhoods, it would be shameful to spend another dime at a place like Wal-Mart. So please keep shopping locally. And thank Mr. and Mrs. Dade the next time you see them sweeping the floor.

Best Hair Stylist:
Brian at Tangle 3000 N. State St., 601-987-0123
I'm damned picky about hair salons. Sometimes it feels like I want the impossible in a hair salon. Small and arty and rather hip. Not pretentious. Not filled with vapid conversation and gossip. A place where they don't talk my head off when I clearly want to doze and enjoy the pampering. Somewhere I can walk to from work. A stylist who will work me in when I inevitably call too late to get an appointment before a big event. Somebody who doesn't try to constantly sell me services and products (even though I might buy them).
Amazingly, I got all that this year when Brian Brower opened Tangle right here in Fondren. I've never had a better salon experience—he knows how to cut my hair, he tells me he doesn't think I should try to cover my gray ("I like it," he says simply). We talk about films, ART Mix, the important of shopping local, why Starbucks is a bad idea for Fondren. He fits me in late. He cuts my hair like the chicks' in the pictures. A hair stylist can't get any better than this. And apparently his packed client list agrees with me.

Best Liquor Store:
Kats Wine Cellar 901 E. Fortification St., 601-354-9181
Kats has been Jackson's favorite neighborhood liquor store since 1967. Kats has all the liquor essentials—from cheap vodka not fit for a Russian tractor to the finest Polish imports, from syrupy abominations like Jagermeister to that celebration of the raspberry, Chambord. As for wine, this isn't the biggest liquor store in Jackson, but each bottle is selected with care. You can aid the enemy by selecting a Chataneuf du Papes from France (my favorite, Chateau la Nerthe is available at a very reasonable price) or you can aid the other enemy and buy robust red zinfandels from Schwarzenegger's California. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure New Zealand and South Africa are enemies now, too, which brings me to my personal theory of viticultral geopolitics—they're all enemies, so drink up. Be sure to ask the knowledgeable staff for their recommendations, and if you ever have the time, chat up the security guards. They're pretty interesting, folks. Perhaps the best endorsement I can offer is a confession: When we're done putting out this crazy issue of the JFP, I'm driving straight to Kats to buy some celebratory vino.

Best Tattoo/Piercing Parlor:
Squench's Tattoos Limited
3780 I-55 South, 601-372-2800
Another year, another victory for Squench's. The tattoo parlor, located on East Frontage Road (I-55 South), once boasted bumper stickers that read, "My Mom gets all her tattoos at Squench's Tattoos LTD." What a plug! Pick Mom up Tuesday through Saturday and take her to get your own custom-made, matching, mother-daughter/son symbols of love permanently grafted to your upper arms. Or, if your love isn't of the creative bent, there are plenty of sample tattoos available, pre-designed and ready to choose from.
In business since 1985, Squench's is sure to have what you're looking for, from permanent makeup application to body piercing to tattooed portraits (please allow extra time to create a tattoo from a picture), and—in case you went somewhere less reputable last time—they also do corrections and cover-ups.
But heed the wise words of "Wedding Crashers": "Tattoo on the lower back: might as well be a bull's-eye."

Best Dollar Store:
Dollar Tree Various locations, 601-956-3874
A dollar here. A dollar there. Before you know it, you could dollar yourself right out down to nothing left with not much to show for it. Not so if you frequent the Best of winner, the Dollar Tree where "Everything's $1.00," according to the Kelly green letters adorning the storefront. Dollar Tree might be DLTR on the NASDAQ, but for us Jacksonians, it's all about m-o-n-e-y in the p-o-c-k-e-t. Check out the Yellow Pages at Yahoo, and you'll find four Dollar Trees in Jackson and three more in the metro area. Unless your favorite, or closest, dollar store is Fred's or Dollar General, you'll know right where to head when you need picture frames, soda pop, DVDs, snacks, jigsaw puzzles, calendars, school supplies, pretties to set or hang around your home, duct tape, toys, paper towels, coloring books, you name it. At dollartree.com, the company describes itself as a customer-oriented, value driven variety store. Sounds right to me.

Best Thrift Store:
N.U.T.S. 114 Millsaps Ave.601-355-7458
I like to think of myself as a "pearl diver." That is, I can find the jewels among junk—and I like little more than the thrill of the hunt. That means that I am absolutely addicted to the Good Samaritan thrift shop in the Millsaps Arts District—also known as N.U.T.S. (Neat Used Things for Sale). The hours at the thrift store are limited (8 a.m. until 3 p.m.; Thursday, Friday and Saturday only), so I've taken to cruising over there on Saturday afternoon, usually about 2:30 p.m. It doesn't take me long to find my pearls—whether a massive Ann Taylor black turtleneck to wear to Butterfly when it's chilly, or kitschy Christmas ornaments and accessories. (Senior editor JoAnn Prichard Morris loved the little Britney Spears t-shirt she got in the JFP's Dirty Santa—until Stephen Barnette took it away from her.) Last week, I got five—count 'em—five hip, chunky necklaces for $1 apiece. I grab up funky wind-up toys like the angry Incredible Hulk doll that now leers at crooked politicians from reporter Adam Lynch's desk. I get old vinyl for my re-emerging album collection, including '80s dance remixes that are tres-cool still (or again). Then there are funky leather blazers, recycled binders for my research (cheaper than Office Depot, and local) and the dancing cowboy Santa that graced our table in Fondren Corner for holiday ART Mixes.

Treehouse Boutique 3008 N. State St.601-982-3433
Garments, gifts and accessories, oh my! The Treehouse is a boutique of mysterious elegance. The air is comfortable, and the mood is girly and romantic. And arty and quirky, all at once. The vibe compels you to spend everything you've got in your wallet—and be happy about it. Once again, Treehouse has reached the coveted status of Best Boutique in Jackson. There is little doubt that they will win again, as Jude Muse and her friendly staff continue to set fashion standards in Jackson. And girly girls, remember that you can set up a gift register of sorts at Treehouse and then just send your man in to check your list twice. Or hell, three times. Start hinting now as Valentine's Day approaches.

Best Festival:
St. Paddy's Day Parade
It's the big one, and that's not changing anytime soon. The Party That Malcolm Started has grown and stretched and gotten famous with crazy women around the globe who treat it as a glitter-infested Mecca. But Mal's St. Paddy's Parade didn't start out as a place of bestsellers; it was a vision of a man and a community hero who was working hard to help this city claim its rightful place as the Crossroads of the Creative and Crazy South long before Fondren started blooming again and the idea of the JFP hadn't occurred to a damn soul. Malcolm White is a visionary who understands that a community needs a strong core, filled with laughter and belief in itself. To me, that is what Malcolm's parade symbolizes. Just call me a Malcolm wannabe. If each of us do a tenth of a percent of what he has done for the city, Jackson will rule the country.

Best Museum:
Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
2148 Riverside Drive 601-354-7303
You're never too old for a field trip to a local museum. One Jackson museum in particular has attracted a crowd: the Museum of Natural Science. Where else can you go to see life-size depictions of giant sloths and T-Rex? The Museum of Natural Science serves both as a locale for family fun and even a memorable date. If showcases of aquariums, snakes and alligators are not enough to impress you, you can explore the museums' numerous nature walks. Strolling through the backwoods of the museum, you can hardly believe you are in a metropolitan area. Starting Feb. 4, the museum will display the rainforest photographs of Stephen Kirkpatrick, called "Lost in the Amazon."

Best Fitness Center:
Courthouse Racquet & Fitness, various locations
We all could take better care of our bodies. That's the premier reason weight concerns are at the top of our list of goals. Many of us make the same resolution every year. Well, Jackson, there is no excuse for not keeping that resolution this year. Whether you're trying to lose weight, maintain your current weight, or get fit for the upcoming beach season, Courthouse Racquet & Fitness Centers have the gurus and the equipment to help you accomplish your goals. Indoor pools, tennis courts, monstrous weight rooms, cardio rooms, aerobics classes, yoga classes and day care make it difficult to find excuses not to go. Or if the YMCA, The Club or Baptist Healthplex are more to your liking, that's OK, too. You have no excuse. Really, you don't.

- Polar bears are marine mammals, and spend much of their time on Arctic sea ice. Many adaptations make polar bears uniquely suited to life in icy habitats. Their fur is thicker than any other bears' and covers even their feet for warmth and traction on ice. A thick layer of blubber beneath their fur provides buoyancy and insulation. The long neck and narrow skull of the polar bear probably aid in streamlining the animal in the water while warming the air that they breathe, and their front feet are large, flat and oar-like, making them excellent swimmers.Transform any room into an Arctic wonderland with this life-sized statue of a polar bear. It's made with high quality resin that is designed to be lightweight and long-lasting. These treasures bring character to any home, office, business or commercial institution.

These buttery thumbprint cookies offer a faint cherry flavor in the cookie itself and the most stunning pop of pale pink, along with a delicate taste of cherry blossom, in the jam filling. These elegant thumbprint cookies are almost too pretty to eat (although we're sure you'll find a way), and would make the perfect sweet finish to a bridal shower or dinner party. Cherry blossom jelly is a specialty product we ordered online, but we found it to be worth the extra bit of effort and expense for a special occasion. However, you could fill these cookies with whatever flavored jam you like. Alternatively, we also tested the recipe using chocolate kisses instead of a jam, and this is also a delicious option. The chocolate makes a very tasty companion to the subtle cherry notes in the cookie.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 300°F. Beat butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in cherry liqueur. Add flour and salt; beat on low speed just until blended. Chill dough at least 1 hour.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Press thumb into each ball to make an indentation.
Bake in preheated oven until very lightly browned around bottom edges, 18 to 23 minutes. Remove from oven, and lightly press thumb into indentations. If using chocolate kisses, immediately place 1 kiss in each indentation. If using jelly, cool cookies on baking sheets on wire racks, about 20 minutes, and spoon about 1/2 teaspoon jelly into each indentation. Cool cookies completely.

Discern Some Of The Tips About Stress Reduction When You Visit Us
Minimizing the chances of these unfortunate occurrences requires one to come up with a plan for the intended holiday. This actually means identifying stumbling blocks which may cause stress and trouble.
Whenever you are going for a holiday or even a tour, the main objective is usually to relax and enjoy quality time with loved ones. This also entails experiencing new cultures and on certain occasions getting a marvelous tan. There is really no room to be spared for discomfort and worries seen witnessed through infighting and squabbles. Eliminating stress out of the picture when you visit US or other places requires that you carry out a certain things in preparation of your upcoming tour.
Some happenings occur to make it very difficult not to get really mad. Among some of the situations include missing a flight and experiencing delays while at the airport among others. These situations normally cause frustrations and can end up ruining your holiday. The frustrations come about from the need to have a good time considering the amount of money you have invested for the holiday.
Minimizing the chances of these unfortunate occurrences requires one to come up with a plan for the intended holiday. This actually means identifying stumbling blocks which may cause stress and trouble. By getting solutions for them beforehand, you actually will be able to have a lovely holiday experience. You also will have the opportunity to enjoy quality time together with your entire family.
Packing and making preparation for the journey early enough is the first place to start. Make these preparations in advance. It is highly recommended that you do it days before departure. Running late for a flight or missing it altogether is very stressful. Thus, ensure that you leave early so that there is plenty of time for checking in prior to departure time.
Managing expectations is one thing many people do not do. This is normally a great cause of disgruntlement and disappointment, especially to the family. Sometimes people pick just any get away location for a change of environment, or sometimes because they are cheap. Wherever you choose, you must have an idea of the place and relay the same to the people accompanying you.
Another thing that comes with expectations lies with knowing details about journey time, activities that are to be done and the predominant weather patterns. Such details are very important in planning, and they also make sure that your expectations are met. It helps you in getting a wonderful experience. The only way that you can see this through is by doing a thorough research when planning.
Scheduling activities for every single day of the holiday is important. Such a schedule ensures that there is ample time for relaxing, sightseeing and shopping. It also allows one to fit in group activities and family bonding times. Other activities require advanced booking, and as such scheduling will ensure that they are booked way in advance.
Being prepared is the last thing required when you visit US for holiday. Preparing for any outcome decreases the chances of things going wrong. Do not leave behind medical supplies like painkillers, first aid kit and other necessary medicines. Once this is done you can leave for the journey.

Based on an idea I got in the chat last week. It's been stuck in my head for a few days, so I'm just going to throw this out here in the hopes that talking animal SCPs aren't played out yet.

There is no way you could do any more with talking animals short of a 40s gangster tapir.
Finest coach 'orse in Whitechapel, and that's no eel pie!
Aaaaand upvoted.
Downvoted for the same line. Also Brits don't call each other Brits :P
Actually, now that it's been brought up, you are kind of correct. Cockneys may have it differently, but there isn't any such thing as British nationality. We just identify each-other by the respective countries we come from within Britain.
Alright, so what term would be accurate for a talking Cockney horse to confirm that the doctor is of the same nationality as he?
It would depend where the doctor was from exactly. He would be much more likely to call him a regional nickname, or at the very least "northerner" or "southerner".
Perhaps he could say "at least you're not another bleedin' septic." or "nice to see someone from the old green and pleasant".
For what it's worth, cockney rhyming slang is, at it's root, a kind of thief-cant and is intended to obfuscate your meaning from outsiders. You wouldn't generally use the whole phrase, and particularly not the part that rhymes with your intended meaning, eg: "get up them apples" where the full phrase is apples and pears (stairs).
I love this fucking horse and his Cockney rhyming slang. Love, love, love it.
Well of course it's a hard life for a sentient (sapient?) working-class talking horse. Upvoted.
Smapti, you crazed genius.
"SCP-1156 wearing its top hat."
I want to make so many references about other talking horses… *super whiny* but I cahaaaaaaan't
So I'll just say this, this would make an awesome character in ██████████████.
The good SCP's are hilarious! I upvoted as soon as I saw the Top hat. First the Semi-rascist alien and now this!

Chapman's golf season came to an end April 19 at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Championships with the women's team finishing fourth and senior Emily Lewis tying for seventh place after three rounds at the Brookside Golf Course in Pasadena, California.
Despite the competitive atmosphere at the tournament, Lewis said she felt "comfortable" but, when playing her final hole, she battled emotions. Since it was the last championship tournament of Lewis' career, she said the "gloomy" weather seemed to mirror her mood, serving as a melancholy backdrop for the day's lively events. But she had her friends, parents, coaches and teammates cheering her on.
"When I got to hole 18, there were about 50 to 60 people watching me on the green," Lewis said. "They were all yelling for me and they were the loudest people out there. That made the experience extra special."
Fueled by their encouragement, Lewis, a business administration and accounting major, scored a six-over 78. She finds out May 6 if she will progress to nationals.
The team's head coach Ming Lao said that Lewis "played like a hero." Sophomore business administration major Lauren Settle attributed Lewis' performance to her laser-focused attention attitude.
"She's very serious on the golf course. She wants to win," Settle said. "There's no laughing or joking around during a tournament."
For some other players on the team, though, scores at the recent conference championships felt less satisfactory. Settle, freshman business administration major Sydnee DiMascio and freshman kinesiology major Kristen Lee all said they felt "disappointed" by their performances. Settle, DiMascio and Lee finished at 21st, 38th, and 25th on the leaderboard respectively.
DiMascio said her biggest challenge at the tournament was maintaining her self-assurance.
"If I have a bad round, it takes me a while to get my confidence back," DiMascio said. "There were a couple of times where I would freak out because I felt like I was doing so bad."
Lewis, too, faces bouts of self-doubt and nerves when competing, she said. Before playing, she said she always listens to Ludovico Einaudi's classical piano piece "Nuvole Bianche" to ease her mind.
"It calms me down. In other sports, you want to get pumped up and get your adrenaline going, but for me, for golf, I need to relax," Lewis said.
Despite the team's camaraderie, senior communication studies major Marisa Bhanubandh said that golf is ultimately an individual sport because it's up to each player to put in the work to succeed. In the month leading up to championships, Lewis said she practiced each day for at least two hours on the Tustin Ranch Golf Course.
"We have team practices once or twice a week, but I was out on the course seven days a week," Lewis said. "I wanted to make sure I made the time to put in the effort I needed to play well at championships."
Now, Lewis said she feels like all her hard work paid off — she has a strong chance of going to nationals May 14-17 in Houston, Texas since she placed seventh, Lao said. In the meantime, Lewis said she will continue practicing.
"It's a waiting game. It's a little stressful that it's out of my control," Lewis said. "But Chapman has never had a golfer go to nationals before, so it would be really cool to be the first one to do it."

CropLife Asia committed to support Thailand farmers
Following yesterday's press conference conducted by the Thailand Department of Agriculture indicating next steps with regards to its review of three crop protection products, CropLife Asia issued the following statement from Executive Director Dr. Siang Hee Tan:
"The challenges facing Thailand Farmers are not simple ones. With a growing population in the region and globally, they are increasingly looked to as part of the solution in producing more food with fewer natural resources and less impact on the world around us. Factor in the need to combat pests, disease and weeds, and the task is that much more daunting.
"CropLife Asia is committed to enabling and empowering the farmers of Thailand and the region to meet these challenges. Ensuring their access to safe and effective crop protection technology is a critical component in this equation, as is the responsible use of these game-changing innovations.
"We remain steadfast in this commitment and look forward to continuing our partnership with the Government of Thailand as well as other food sector stakeholders on this crucially important front.
"The 13 million smallholder farmers of Thailand are depending on us to ensure their continued access to the technological tools in the toolbox they depend on – as well as the proper training in their responsible use. We owe it to them to get this right."

Factions Runic Realm
June 22nd, 3 PM EST
Check here to see what time release is for you!
Let me start by saying this map has NO set end date. We are still doing weekly payouts, but hopefully this gives people a place to play while they are playing on our other Demonic / Heroic realms, or other faster pace servers. Factions Runic is a realm much different then our other realms. Demonic & Heroic are notorious for being super fast pace, very op, large amounts of TNT in the economy, etc. We have redone so much, raiding will not be super easy at all, not to mention we have a huge world and no corners so no one gets an advantage. You will have to be strategic with your raids, and in general their should be a lot more pvp going on in the server with simple enchants & max protection 4.
If you are a factions player, or aren't and factions peaks your interest, I highly suggest you check out this new style of factions, its new, but it is also has reminiscence of how OG factions use to be. Keep in mind this Factions Runic realm will be something we are updating weekly, whether it be tweaks, updates, optimizations, we are here to make this last.
Anyone with a youtube channel can re-upload the trailer to receive two rare keys. For more information about re-uploading please join our Discord and look for the #reupload channel!

General Information
This realm is runic/ dark fantasy forest themed.
We will be having one world with zero corners.
Overworld: 50,000 x 50,000 (from -25k to +25k)!
Nether: 2,000 x 2,000 border (cannot claim in nether)
Nether: 2,000 x 2,000 border (cannot claim in nether)
We will be having a one week grace period. The grace period will mean the following things:
TNT, Creeper Eggs, and any form of explosions are disabled.
Gen Buckets will work when enemy players are near.
Mining Spawners will not cost money during this period.
The command /fps will be disabled.
During the first hour of the map, we will be disabling a few things to make sure the release goes as smooth as possible
Flying will be completely disabled.
The command /wild will be disabled
Everyone will be invisible at spawn.
Factions Information
All of the important information required for this map are listed below:
Players per faction: 30
Power per player: 100 (Capped at: 2,500)
Alts per faction: 100
Force Invites: DISABLED
Allies: DISABLED
Buffer limit: 20 chunks
Cannon Speed: 5 seconds
Regeneration Walls: ENABLED
Printer: DISABLED
Protection: 4
Economy: Cane, Cactus, Mobs
Currencies: Money, Mobcoins, Tokens, XP.
On Factions Runic, raiding will not be super easy. We are taking it back, with no printer, enabled: regeneration walls, 5 second cannons, and a huge 50,000 x 50,000 (from -25k to +25k) world, with 0 corners, and in general a harder tnt economy (so not a ton of TNT in the economy) / along with NO Semtexs. We hope this allows people to play on a realm they won't get raided in the first week. Keep in mind, if you do not like this play style, we will still have Demonic / Heroic for a more fast pace play style. Keep in mind this realm will have no end date planned, we will only reset it when the community really wants a reset.
Weekly Updates & Weekly Payouts / No Endate
With an indefinite length to our brand new Runic realm, we want to ensure that everyone always has something to be working towards, and that the gameplay does not become stale and boring for the players playing. To help combat this from happening, we will be doing weekly updates which will bring a bunch of new changes to the realm to keep everyone hooked and give them the best playing experience we can possibly offer.
This being said, we will pay out every week, so even if you do get raided, do not give up, as you can come back and raid another faction to regain your position in F-TOP. Also with their being no set end date, you can end up collecting a good amount of payout collectively to use on Demonic / Heroic while you still play on Runic.
In general we have revamped all gkits, kits, enchants, etc. Meaning no crazy annoying enchants for pvp, all simple enchants for armor, etc. That being said, kits do not give you a ton of pots / gapples. This will mean you will have to either grind EXP to buy potions, or brew them. For god apples, you are gonna have to grind blazes (drops gold / small chance of gold blocks)& cow spawners (drops apples).
mcMMO Perks
In the new Runic realm, we are looking to reward players with more than just the basic fishing and mining rewards. With the new realm we will be adding a whole new level of perks towards mcMMO and ALL of it's abilities! The top players in each of the abilities will first off be rewarded with a unique kit that only the top players in that skill can use! Other specific perks can include unlocking /fix [all/ hand] as you reach a various milestone in mcMMO repairing!
Mob Drops
To better benefit this brand new factions experience, we wanted to make sure the economy was just right. To do this, we had to get to the basics, which includes the drops that each mob will drop. The core mobs in the economy will now all drop new items. Some of them include: cows now dropping apples, pigman dropping gold & gold blocks, creepers now dropping gunpowder once again, with a chance to drop tnt.
Hybrid Economy
This Economy is the ultimate hybrid economy. You can earn money by farming, grinding cane, afking cactus, mob drops, etc! On top of that, we have 4 currencies - Money - (obtained in various ways), Tokens - (grinding cane or fishing), Mobcoins - *NEW* to Vanity (grinding mobs - each mob has a difference mobcoin drop rate - info will be in game), EXP - (grinding mobs, especially blazes!), used for enchanting & buying potions!
Castle will not be on the upcoming Runic realm, the only thing in its place will be the good old traditional outpost! When a faction has outpost captured, it will grant a 2.0x sell rate to things sold, just like traditional outposts on factions always have. Adding on, without Castle, there will no longer be the normal castle in warzone, nor a dungeon of mobs to grind for rewards. Grinding mobs will be solely available from grinding in your own base. The outpost will be housed in it's own separate world.
Rankup System
On Factions Runic this reset, we will be having a re-worked rank progression system, as a remodeled version (from demonic/heroic this current season - we have fixed it) of our previous /rank system. This will allow players to spend their ingame money to progress towards a new leaderboard, which will reward the top players on it every week! In the new system we will be adding a prestige system, which players will then be able to compete in for prestige top. As well as the weekly payouts, players will also be rewarded with various perks, sellboosters, kits, crate keys, and more from upgrading their prestiges and ranks.
Potions will become a bit more of a rarity than they usually are in factions. They will now only be sold using EXP in the shop, and kits will give very minimialistic amounts of potions. The primary way players will be getting their potions now is through good old fashioned brewing! We encourage players to brush off the dust on their brewing skills and be prepared to brew a load of potions!
Wilderness Spawners
In hopes to bring back a bit of more traditional factions, or in other words, "Runic" feel to the gamemode, we will be adding back spawners to be mined in wilderness underground dungeons. There will also be a more strict anti XRAY system in place, along with staff making sure that players are getting these spawners all legitimately! Spawners found during grace will be free to mine; however, if they are found once grace period ends, they will cost money to mine just like any other spawner!
Nether Spawners
There will be a nether world in the upcoming Runic realm, but it is advised that nothing important is ever built in the nether! The nether will be in place to house blaze spawners. On Runic, the only way to obtain blaze spawners will be from scouring through the nether fortresses to find them! Every week the nether world will be entirely wiped (including bases, farms, etc)! Each week with the new nether will bring a fresh new set of blaze spawners to be found.
Spawner Changes
Along with all the new free spawners to be obtained from the wilderness of the overworld and nether, we will also be introducing plenty of changes to how the core spawner system on Runic actually works. One of the first changes is the fact that we will be removing stacked spawners. It will return to one spawner per block, instead of the usual eight per. Next, we will be adding a progressive spawner value increase. Every one hour the placed spawner will go up in value. After two weeks the spawner will reach it's maximum value
Simple Enchantments (MAX PROTECTION: 4)
After looking through all of our custom enchantments, we have decided to remove a majority of them! In the brand new Runic realm, we will be limiting the custom enchantments to solely potion effect enchantments, such as saturation, fire resistance, etc. Additionally MAX protection will be protection 4! All custom enchantments will be able to once again be bought using experience. To obtain custom enchantments, players will be able to buy them through the usual /enchanter GUI. (You will be able to buy these with EXP)
Ancient Tools
You will spawn with "Ancient tools". These ancient tools include a Mobsword, Cane Hoe, Base pick, Fishing Rod, Sell wand, and Backpack. All these can either be used to gain XP, Mobcoins, tokens, money, loot, or help you build / destrcut your base. You enchant them all / level them up in the central /enchanter gui. Keep in mind these tools are now balanced, and just make the grind a bit more fun.
Cane Hoe: This is a ancient tool, grind cane to earn tokens, money & other rewards!
Mob Sword: This is a ancient tool, kill mobs to earn mobcoins, money, XP, etc! (cannot use on other players only mobs)
Fishing Rod: This is a ancient tool, catch fish, to earn mobcoins, money, XP, etc!
Sell wands: Just like the usual sell wands, but everyone gets one, it starts at 0, you can level it up to sell for more!
Backpacks: When you grind cane, it goes into your backpack when your inventory is full, you then start auto selling it from your backpack.
Mob Sword: This is a ancient tool, kill mobs to earn mobcoins, money, XP, etc! (cannot use on other players only mobs)
Fishing Rod: This is a ancient tool, catch fish, to earn mobcoins, money, XP, etc!
Sell wands: Just like the usual sell wands, but everyone gets one, it starts at 0, you can level it up to sell for more!
Backpacks: When you grind cane, it goes into your backpack when your inventory is full, you then start auto selling it from your backpack.
With creepers being reverted back to now dropping gunpowder, we decided to add a brand new use for the gunpowder that will now accumulate! You will now be able to combine your excess gunpowder into TNT. It won't be like default Minecraft crafting with the sand and gunpowder. It will be solely using the gunpowder your grinders have accumulated.
If you are asking why we are doing this? It is so you do not get raided week 1, the second TNT is enabled! We want factions to have to strategically plan out their raid, and not just have dubs of TNT, and be reckless with it.
ShockWave Pickaxes
Usually players have the /pickaxe to upgrade their shockwave pickaxes to a maximum of 7x7x7, and with the ability to add a few enchantments to it as well. In this new shockwave pickaxe sysrem, we will be eliminating shockwaves bigger than a 3x3x3 in the upcoming Runic realm. This will help keep the progression at a steady pace with the length that maps on Runic will last for.
All new PvP Area
We now have a pvp world in a secluded area, this means you cannot escape out of pvp while in combat tagged, and in general it should be easier to find people / more ease when pvping with a flat arena.
NOTE: We have re-worked a lot of other stuff, and have other new features, so if this change log got you at all interested in this new realm, hop on and check it out this Saturday at 3 PM EST. That being said keep in mind with weekly updates, this will allow us to improve the game mode as the season is going, so if you have any suggestions feel free to PM me on discord or comment here!

Part of London's iconic charm is the River Thames and its banks are packed with charming restaurants, historic venues and waterside bars. We've picked our favourites that offer the best river views for your events, many with indoor space and striking interiors in case of those pesky summer showers…
East Wintergarden
Between the Canary Wharf skyscrapers, East Wintergarden is a glass atrium that is capable of hosting events on any scales under a sweeping domed roof. Three spaces can accommodate between 40 to 1,000 guests, each with panoramic views of the waterfront.
Somerset House
The spectacular neo-classical Somerset House is a fundamental part of the Thames river skyline and has multiple event spaces that make the most of its striking architecture. The River Terrace is our favourite for summer parties, with space for 500 guests.
Woods' Silver Fleet
Established for more than 60 years, Woods' Silver Fleets' luxury river yachts are amongst the capital's most prestigious venues, renowned for hosting spectacular corporate events on The Thames for world leaders, prominent celebrities and leading international companies. The flagship Silver Sturgeon's interiors and decks have been created by leading British designers and architects as light, luxe, relaxing spaces in warm, natural colours featuring pure white, oak, grey bird's eye maple & chestnut. The teak Upper Deck with a dramatic steel and glass bar offers a fabulous reception space. Guests can indulge in the panoramic views of London with a cocktail in hand. The perfect river venue with outside space for 50 to 550 guests.
Southbank Centre
When you think of the River Thames you think of Southbank, so naturally the beloved Southbank Centre is a top choice for waterside events. Two pavilions are both perfect for summer parties, both with floor-to-ceiling windows for unfortunate rainy days. The St Paul's Roof Pavilion accommodates up to 150 guests with views over the Cathedral whilst on Level 6, the Weston Roof Pavilion looks out towards the Houses of Parliament with a capacity of 200 standing. For larger groups, both spaces can be hired together.
National Theatre
Next door is the National Theatre, whose new rooftop space is set to open for summer 2018. The exclusive venue will be a fresh, creative backdrop against the views of the Thames. There are also further meeting spaces inside the theatre with capacities of up to 400.
Le Pont de la Tour
For two decades, Le Pont de la Tour has served French food against the backdrop of Tower Bridge, a view that never gets old. The beloved terrace is one of the best riverside locations in the city with space for up to 400 guests across the restaurant, wine cellar and bar.
Swan, Shakespeare's Globe
At the iconic Shakespeare's Globe is Swan, a restaurant and event space with beautiful views out to St Paul's Cathedral. Two rooms boast such dramatic backdrops through large French windows, our favourite being the Balcony Room which can stand 120 guests indoors and out on its own Juliet balcony.
IET London: Savoy Place
The list wouldn't be complete without IET London that combines cutting-edge technology with breath taking views. Almost every famed part of the city skyline can be seen from the Johnson Roof Terrace which can host parties for up to 200.
Greenwich Yacht Club
At over 100 years old, the Greenwich Yacht Club has catered for sailors, rowers and motor-boaters along the Thames, offering their 3 spaces for private events of up to 250. Guests can arrive by footbridge or boat to the stilted Clubhouse and enjoy a decked terrace, Banqueting Hall or bar each with panoramic water views.
Bateaux London
Perhaps the best way to get a Thames view is to sail the river itself, which is exactly what's on offer with Bateaux London. Two vessels ride the waters hosting up to 150 guests on each for dinner-dances, drinks receptions or award ceremonies.
Sea Containers
One of 2017's biggest openings continues to be a hit, with hard-to-beat river views from over 2,300sqm of event space. 10 individual spaces can host up to 600 guests, each with floor-to-ceiling windows, iconic views or outdoor terraces.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is the ultimate venue for riverside views, being located across the Thames of course. Not only can guests look out from east to west on the Walkways but a glass floor 42m above the waters means that they can dine and drink with London beneath their feet. Two other spaces can accommodate up to 250 and are equally atmospheric including the Victorian Engine Rooms that contain the engines once used to power the Bridge lifts.
Butlers Wharf Chop House
The riverside terrace of British Butlers Wharf Chop House is where Londoners spill out in the summer from 4 semi-private dining areas inside the restaurant. The terrace can hold up to 300 guests with views of Tower Bridge.
Located next to the Millennium Bridge, Northbank terrace and bar looks out across the river, with the Tate Modern in direct sight. Perfect for summer months, the outdoor space can accommodate up to 100 with room for a further 75 guests in the glass-fronted restaurant.
The Yacht
Moored permanently at Temple Pier, this 1920's steam vessel offers a 3am license, alfresco Top Deck and views of the iconic London skyline. 250 guests can be accommodated and party all night with a resident DJ and Saxophonist as well as on deck BBQs perfect for summer parties.
The Ivy Tower Bridge
The Ivy's private dining room for up to 150 standing guests looks out across Tower Bridge, with classically colourful interiors on the first floor. 52 guests can enjoy a sit down dinner across two tables, enjoying the restaurant's classically brilliant British menu.
Cutty Sark
The Grade-1 listed clipper ship is the feature of Greenwich's riverside, welcoming tourists and groups of up to 450 to be entertained along its deck. The main space offers fantastic views over to Canary Wharf and beyond and of course is a spectacular setting.
If you are looking for more inspiration for your party venue, check out our top rooftop spaces in London or top summer party venues in the City. If you are looking for a venue for your next event, then don't hesitate to contact the Banks Sadler team on 0207 424 3333.

|The oldest house in Paris, in the Marais

This was a lovely building in the Marais that was 2 minutes or so from where I was living in Paris. Occasionally I would see small tour groups in front of it, as it's reported to be the oldest house in Paris! It's a true medieval half timber building, that leans quite a bit. Was probably built in the 1400's. I started the pencil sketch and thought I would get back to finish, but never did...

Help me name my new keyboard
I'm happy with my EMU Xboard 25 key MIDI controller which I got last night (in perfect condition, purchased second hand from Coreysan). I can already feel that fun times and great music will come of it. It's big enough to not feel like a toy and small enough to be mobile and go traveling with.
My other keyboard, Haniel, died quite a while ago. Haniel had hundreds of great sound banks and patches (i.e. musical samples/tones for different instruments) stored in her and I would do everything (sequencing/composing/recording) right there in the keyboard. If you click on my Reverbnation page and listen to the music there, all of it (except the songs with acoustic guitar and 'Raindrops on Skin' which is a combo of Garageband and Ableton Live) was created with Haniel.
The EMU is a MIDI keyboard, used to trigger the sound samples in computer-based music programmes. i.e. I can't create music within (or using just) the keyboard itself as with Haniel.
If you've been reading my blog for a while you will know that I give my pieces of equipment meaningful names:
Karishma (video camera)
Dandelion (drum)
The camera formerly known as Synchronicity (now renamed Phoenix because she fell on Valentine's Day and rose from the ashes)
Supernova (little go-everywhere-with-it camera).
Instead of me coming up with the name for the new keyboard, I'm throwing out the opportunity for you all. You can leave your suggestion in the Now is Wow Too comments section along with a brief rationale (i.e. why you gave it that name). I'll go with the name/rationale that resonates most with me. As a prize, I will compose a short piece of music for the winner.
Thanks in advance.

"Sakura" (the cherry blossom) - since she is most likely a keyboard of asian birth.

Two ideas, both from Sanskrit:
Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, music and the arts.
Raga, a word which means harmony, melody and feeling. It is one of the three pillars of Indian Classical Music and has deep meaning in that context (http://www.searchgurbani.com/raags/index.php)

Reviews and Recommendations | Web Tip
When we became the first automation supplier with a 24/7 online store in 1999, we made it easier to research and purchase industrial automation parts. Today, we continually strive to improve the service we provide to our customers by showcasing customer reviews and including recommended products when you shop on our web store.
Customer Reviews
We think customer reviews are a great "user community" tool to assist with product research and purchasing decisions. That's why we welcome all comments including company-wide reviews and product reviews.
We currently have over 3,700 reviews available on detailed item level pages as well as product listings for relevant products. Guests can read reviews and registered logged-in users can add information for product they are familiar with.
If you don't currently have a userID, you can create one here.
Recommended Products
To help make sure you get all the components and accessories you need with your order, we have added recommended items to each appropriate detailed item page throughout our web store.
For instance, if you purchase P2-550, the Productivity2000 CPU module, we recommend the options for a base, power supply, software, manual, etc. in addition to some optional accessories such as Ethernet cables and switches.
When you add items to the shopping cart, we also generate an consolidated list of recommended items to provide that last check for needed accessories before purchase. This is displayed on the cart page and allows easy addition of selected products to the order.
