[www.keralites.net] Fwd: 10 Places In Las Vegas You Have To Visit!

 

There's More to Las Vegas than Gambling... Las Vegas is internationally known as "Sin City", thanks to its tolerance of adult forms of entertainment. But despite being famous for its casinos and gambling, this city has much more to offer. The savvy tourist can go about Las Vegas and feel he or she is traveling around the world. If you're a fan of the desert, a short drive out of the city will provide you with incredible views of the Mojave.   In this list, you will find the 10 can't-miss locations for anyone visiting Las Vegas.       1. Stratosphere Tower Many of the hotels in Las Vegas have 'a theme' designed to draw in bigger crowds, and the Stratosphere Tower is no different in that regard, but it is still unique and rises above them all (pun intended). It is the tallest building in Las Vegas, standing 360 meters (1181 ft) tall. The top of the tower features an observation deck, allowing visitors to see the whole city, and out into the surrounding desert during the day, or the strip's twinkling lights at night. Braver souls can even jump off (while safely secured, of course). If you're already up there, it's the fastest way down…       2. Fremont   Walking around in Fremont is an experience no visitor should miss! Throughout the night, the street becomes the stage for amazing audio-visual displays that are projected on the 30 meter (98 ft) high ceiling. Before the start of each show, all of the casinos in the area switch off their lights, signaling an upcoming show. As the magic begins, over 12 million LED lights begin their dance, making an experience that can only be described as mesmerizing.       3. New York-New York   As soon as you get to the hotel, you'll notice its main attraction – "The Big Apple" rollercoaster (not recommended for the faint-of-heart). This is the first roller coaster to have a 180 degree flip, where your legs are up in the sky and your head is looking down at the ground, while traveling at 107kph (66 mph). This roller coaster ride attracts 1.4 million visitors every year.     4. Valley of Fire State Park Get in a car and head north-east of Las Vegas. After about an hour, you'll find the Valley of Fire Park, which owes its name to the natural colors and shape that are the result of processes that began long before humans walked the Earth.       5. The Venetian   Italy's Venice is famous for its canals, and the singing gondola rides, but you can also experience it in Las Vegas' The Venetian Hotel. The hotel's mall is called "The Grand Canal", thanks to the canal that runs through it. Guests can travel between shops on a gondola, piloted by an authentic Italian singer. Couples seeking some romance in the city will definitely enjoy this experience.       6. The Mob Museum   If you want to see Las Vegas the way it used to be during its mob era, the Mob Museum will  provide you with a rare glimpse into the age of organized crime – a significant part of America's past. The museum offers exhibitions and interactive activities about the history of the mafia and other crime cartels, and since Las Vegas grew because of these organizations, you'll be able to learn a lot about the city's history.     7. The Mirage The Mirage Casino's theme centers around the Polynesian Islands, and includes a volcano that erupts every day at 9pm, with real audio effects and spreading scents of Pina colada. You will also find other attractions that will make you feel you're on a deserted island. Behind the reception desk sits a huge aquarium with over 400 fish and an artificial coral reef.       8. Caesar's Palace   This might be the most extravagant hotel in all of Las Vegas. The Palace was planned by Jay Sarno, who, until the 1950s designed motels. When Sarno came to Las Vegas, he decided to plan the most luxurious hotel the city has ever seen, and so Caesar's Palace was constructed in 1966 at a cost of $24 million. Just as Sarno planned, the Palace was a hotel and casino, the s of which the city has never seen before. The hotel features water fountains, pools, and the staff is dressed in ancient Roman garb. Caesar's set the bar for all of the hotels built afterwards, and is still considered to be the best in town.       9. The Strip   While you can find casinos all over Las Vegas, you'll be missing out on the best and most famous ones if you don't go to The Strip. This long street is surrounded by flashy hotels, whose owners spare no expense to make visitors feel part of a bright fantasy world. Almost all of the casinos on The Strip are also themed hotels, making you feel you're in a different country or era. Even a walk down The Strip is an enjoyable experience during the cool evening hours, but spare yourself from doing so during the day – it's just too hot outside.       10. The Bellagio The Bellagio is famous mainly thanks to its two main attractions. Firstly, there's the spectacular botanical gardens - home to so many kinds of plants that the hotel employs over 140 gardeners to tend them all, and to plan special exhibitions during different holidays. Exhibits are changed five times a year, so even if you've been there before, your next visit will feel completely different. The main greenhouse offers curious visitors with a chance to talk to the hotel's botanical experts, who'll happily answer all of your plant-related questions. Once the sun goes down, you'll want to head on down to the Bellagio's other attraction - The Fountains of Bellagio. The Fountains feature a coordinated show with music and lighting, making it one of the city's most incredible sights.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Underwater Pole Dancing Pushes The Agile Activity To A New Level!

 

Underwater Pole Dancing Pushes The Agile Activity To A New Level!     This series of photos by ‪‎Los Angeles photographer Brett Stanley precisely captured the dream-like and graceful beauty of underwater pole dancing.   In order to take the photos, Stanley worked with the dancers closely for a few weeks. He taught them how to hold breath and what poses look best when submerged. Due to the relative lack of gravity in the water, the dancers had to make a few adjustments to their general routines. They had to recreate some of their poses and wear waterproof makeup and bikinis.   Stanley is hoping to work with other acrobatic performers in the future to expand this series of underwater photoshoots.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: It's Not Just Stress a Masseuse Notices in Your Body

 

12 Secrets Massage Therapists Know About Your Body! We often turn to massages to ease muscle tension and work through injuries. Yet the hour we spend on the massage table may shed more light about our health than we think. Frequently, masseuses can detect more of our health problems than simply our stress. So, what do your tight knots suggest about your health? Here's a list of things your massage therapist wants you to know:   1. The purses you wear are too big   This can be seen when one side of your body appears tighter than the other. They are also aware on which side of your body you are more inclined to shift your body weight. This generally tends to happen with women who carry their purses predominantly on one shoulder. In this case the glutes, hamstrings and quads tends to be tight and you'll likely also have an unnatural pelvic tilt. 2. You work at a desk for long hours   Sitting at a desk all day can wreck havoc on your body. A massage therapist is able to tell whether you have such a job through various signs including a weaker lower back (this is evidenced by one hip being higher than the other), as well as tight glutes and leg muscles. The shoulders are most likely curved too.  3. Your preferred sleeping position   Massage therapists are able to identify whether you prefer to sleep on your stomach. Sleeping in this position can cause extra strain on the neck and therapists are able to feel the extra tightness that tends to accumulate in the area. Sleeping on your stomach places strain on your back and spine too due to the weight that tends to collapse into the middle of your body. This makes it difficult to maintain a neutral spine position when you are sleeping.  4. You spend a lot of time behind the wheel   Driving for long hours can affect your posture just as much as sitting at your desk all day. Therapists are able to identify this about you due to your far-forward posture and hunched shoulders. You'll likely also report aches in both your back and neck.  5. You're injured   Heat and inflammation are clear signs that indicate an acute injury while a chronic injury is most seen in the form of dehydrated muscles that feel tight. On the other hand, with repetitive motions, tendons and muscles will feel wiry like guitar strings. 6. You're constipated.    Here's something you never thought your massage therapist would be able to identify. If your stomach feels firm to the touch, your therapist would likely know that you are suffering from constipation. 7. You spend too much time on your phone   Looking down at your phone can cause your shoulders to slouch forward. But it doesn't just stop there, chronic texters will find it painful when a massage therapist rubs their shoulders. This is primarily caused by the downward position of your head, which creates an imbalance in the shoulders. 8. You don't drink enough water   If you've booked yourself a massage but haven't drank enough water throughout the day (it is recommended that you consume eight glasses), trigger points in the upper back will feel tender. 9. You feel cold all the time   In colder temperatures, hunching up your shoulders to your ears may feel like the instinctual thing to do. This is easily identifiable by a massage therapist due to the stress that has accumulated in the neck and tops of the shoulders throughout the winter season. 10. Your exercise regime includes a lot of running    A massage therapist can tell whether you run due to the tension and tightness that builds up in your hips. You may also complain about tension at the bottom of your foot. Expect to be stretched in a specific way to ease the pain. 11. Your allergies are flaring   The pressure points around your eyes, forehead, cheeks and jaw will appear tender and inflamed, if you're suffering from allergies. The lymph nodes around the neck and under the armpits will also feel tender and swollen.  12. You may have skin cancer   It may be hard for you to detect skin cancer at the back of your body but your massage therapist can spot such irregularities in the places that you generally can't. Massage therapists have reported oddly shaped spots behind the knees or on the back of the hips, advising their clients to check them out.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: The Human Clock: How You Should Plan Your Day

 

Did You Know That Your Body Has Its Own Clock? Did you know that according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our body has its own energy clock? Also known as the Chinese Body Clock, it explains some of the most asked questions about our body. For instance, you may be curious to discover why your mood and energy levels fluctuate so much throughout the day? And why you sometimes tend to be less concentrated on your work than in other instances?   Without a doubt, our bodies do extraordinary things, but they are all built around cycles, controlled by the brain and defined by our sleeping and eating patterns. At different times of the day, the body has one organ which is at its energetic peak, and by knowing your energy clock well, you can help your body cope better. The chart below illustrates the human energy body clock, showing the best times to eat, work, sleep and socialize. According to TCM, the body moves its energy concentration from one organ to another every 2 hours (as the chart indicates) with the organ opposite each time slot (12 hours ahead) being the one with the least energetic functioning during that time.      For a more detailed overview, this is how the Chinese Body Clock works. First of all, our body goes through three main cycles every day. These cycles are as follows: 1. Elimination Cycle (4am-12pm): This is the time during which the body is getting rid of toxins - the reason behind the bad breath and sweaty skin we wake up with in the morning. During this period, it is recommended that we eat food that is easily digestible, such as raw produce, green juice, smoothies, etc. 2. Appropriation Cycle (12pm-8pm): The body is most awake and active during this time of the day, and so is its digestion and metabolism. You may be feeling more hungry than usual during this  time period. If so, it is important to eat, even if it's not during meal times.  3. Assimilation Cycle (8pm-4am): At this time, the body is concentrating on the absorption of nutrients in order to revitalize cells and organs. It's the perfect time for healing, rebuilding and renewing, and it's recommended that dinner is taken right before this cycle. As you have seen in the Human Body Energy Clock chart above, these cycles can be broken down even further, focusing more on the activity peaks of specific body organs. Here's what's happening in every section of the clock and how you can help your body in the process. • Between 3am and 5am: While you are in a deep sleep, your body is focusing on the lungs and breathing, to make sure enough oxygen is filling your lungs, and entering your blood and nervous system. If you cough during this time, it probably means that your lungs are getting rid of toxins.  • Between 5am and 7am: You are now in your elimination cycle, and your body is preparing the large intestine to eliminate toxins as soon as you wake up. If you're up at this time, it is recommended that you drink 16+ oz of water to replace the lost liquid. At this point, opt for a brisk walk over sitting down while drinking a cup of coffee!    • Between 7am and 9am: Now, the energy focus moves to the stomach. You are likely to rise with a good appetite, after a long period of fasting throughout the night. Wake up and eat breakfast - make sure it contains fruit and protein to fill you with the nutrients you need to face the day. • Between 9am and 11am: After the stomach, come the pancreas and the spleen. During this time, these organs are processing your breakfast and converting it into energy. This energy becomes the fuel your cells need for your new day ahead. • Between 11am and 1pm: By now, the nutrients in your breakfast are being pumped around the body by the heart, and reaching out to all your body systems and organs through the circulatory system. Now is the right time to be with people and prepare yourself for another dose of nutrients, as energy levels start to decrease.    • Between 1pm and 3pm: The perfect time to eat lunch.  After doing this, many people feel the need to take a nap to boost their energy for the rest of the day and take a break from the morning activities. Furthermore, your body is now working on the digestion of your lunch, focusing on the small intestine. This is also an ideal time for some peaceful meditation.  • Between 3pm and 5pm: The focus now shifts to the bladder. At this time, it is recommended that you stay hydrated by drinking water or tea. It is also an excellent time to get some things done for the last time before your body prepares you for the evening. • Between 5pm and 7pm: It's time for the last main meal of the day - dinner. This shouldn't be very big, but should be nutritious. Your body is concentrating on the kidneys now, to filter the body of any waste. It is also working on the lymphatic system to keep the body clear and in flow. Doing some physical movement would be a good idea - consider walking or stretching.    • Between 7pm and 9pm:  At this point of the day, your blood pressure is typically at its highest levels, and your body's focus now shifts to the pericardium. The day is nearing its end, and it's suitable to take this time to wind down and relax. One's libido has very often reached its peak by now, so the engagement in intercourse is ideal at this time. • Between 9pm and 11pm: Your body is now focusing on the triple warmer and the endocrine system. At this time, you are least expected, or recommended, to eat. Preferably, one should continue to relax, while the body is working on its equilibrium and the replacements of enzymes used throughout the day. It's also the ideal and easiest time to go to sleep.   • Between 11pm and 1am: While you are sleeping, your body is focusing on the gallbladder. If you suffer from gallstones, then you might experience some pain during this time.  • Between 1am and 3am: The liver is now at work. Your body is detoxifying itself by processing alcohol, chemicals, drugs, and poor diet, and eliminating the unwanted substances, cleansing your blood as a result.
