MusOpen

MusOpen is the online repository for music in the public domain. The vast majority of the tracks are classic music with all the famous composers present in the lineup. There’s also a large collection of sheet music, as well as numerous music education resources.

Unsplash

Unsplash is, without a doubt, the poster child of the free pictures movement that has taken the internet by storm over the last several years. What started in 2013 as a Tumblr site with 10 pictures leftover from a photoshoot is today a thriving community with over 200,000 images, more daily views than The New York Times, close to 100 million downloads, and partnerships with industry giants such as Apple.

Wisdom Commons

The Wisdom Commons is a place to find and discuss information about virtues that human beings generally agree are important — like generosity, compassion and courage, and so on. This is backed up with several thousands quotes, poems, fables, essays and other similar works that are all free to use.

automotive body styles

Automotive Body Styles

Coupe- usually considered sporty and personal. Has only two doors unlike the a similar car called the saloon which has four doors. Although, some car makers have created a four door coupe such as the BMW. Coupes have comfortable front seats, but don't have much room in the back. It is not ideal for a family with older children.


THE SUV

SUV's have existed since the 30's, not really reaching popularity until the 90's. SUV's are built on a truck frame and have a powerful engine performance. One of the first popular SUV's (in the U.S.) was the Jeep. There was a huge demand at the time (during WWII) for a four-wheel-drive vehicle. SUV's are generally associated with toughness and off-road handling manners. Though SUV's were known for being more of the off-road-trails type of vehicle, there are also the "luxury" products; with cars like the Range Rover and the Cadillac Escalade. Increasingly, the SUV is becoming a suitable vehicle choice for the luxury-minded drivers. Price ranges vary for this vehicle.

THE SPORTS CAR

Sports cars are often intended to create an atmosphere of fun and speed for the driver. These types of vehicles are on-road performers, not requiring a specific body style. Sports cars can be built using convertible, coupe, and sedan body-styles. Most sports cars are associated with racing, whether it be street racing or professional auto track racing. The pricing range for sports cars ranges broadly from under $20,000 into the millions. Despite the massive horsepower of some sports cars, the future of this vehicle category is increasingly becoming enriched with power-train technology such as hybrid drive platforms.                 
THE DIESEL 

Diesel engines have two main advantages over their gasoline-powered counterparts. The benefits of this typically applies to truck buyers looking for a vehicle with maximum towing and hauling capacity. Diesel-power is also being integrated with mid-sized trucks to improve fuel efficiency. Companies such as Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have started to offer diesel-fueled engines in North America due to how popular it is getting.
