Do Keto Hemp Edibles Include Pizza?

When it comes to getting in-shape there are two factors you have to focus on; exercise and nutrition. The exercise part for most of us is easy, you can go for a walk or two during your day, hit the gym, workout at home, group classes, yoga, running...there are many options. The action in the kitchen tends to be what trips up most of us. You can have your exercise regimen down, take your protein powders daily, and even have your keto-friendly Hemp edibles ready to go, but if you can’t get your diet right, weight loss can be hard.

For many people, the keto diet resolves their issues in the kitchen. The keto diet removes most carbs from your diet and leans heavily on protein and fats. By removing the carbohydrates, fat burning is shifted into overdrive. For many dieters and fitness enthusiasts, carbs are indeed the enemy, whether it's bagels, donuts, pasta or of course pizza. The good news is that you don’t have to give up your favorite Sugar and Kush Hemp gummies on the keto diet since they have zero sugar and carbs, but your favorite pizza is no longer an option. So, what do you do if you get a craving for pepperoni and sausage pizza on  Saturday during the big game? Blaze Pizza seems to have a keto-friendly option that may just win you over.

Enter Blaze Pizza, the second fastest-growing restaurant chain in the country, which today launches its new keto pizza at its more than 300 locations nationwide. According to a press release, the crust has just six grams of carbs; Blaze’s website lists its ingredients as cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, casein protein, flaxseed, eggs, whey protein, yeast, spices, and cultured brown rice. It’s topped with spicy red sauce, mozzarella, ovalini mozzarella, bacon, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach. Blaze is also rolling out three other new pies, including a “protein pizza” with the keto crust plus lots of meat; a vegetarian pizza; and a vegan pizza.

Even though the idea of a cotton candy Hemp oil does not seem like it would fit into a keto Hemp edible category, Sugar and Kush Cotton Candy Hemp oil is low-sugar.Dieting at times can be boring and repetitive, especially when we have to abstain from our favorite foods. Blaze Pizza may have made things a little easier for the pizza lovers living in a keto world. Sugar and Kush provide products that work synergistically with a ketogenic diet. The cotton candy CBD drops may taste like a treat from a street festival, but they also have no carbohydrates or sugar in them. There are also added benefits to CBD products that make them a good idea while dieting. Recovery is critical when you’re working out consistently, as proper recovery is what allows you to continue to push yourself harder each workout.

To be successful with weight loss and getting fit, you need to have a plan and you have to enjoy what you do and what you eat. Find yourself a solid workout plan that you enjoy, find places like Blaze Pizza that makes the food you enjoy but also fit your diet, and know that you don’t have to give up your Sugar and Kush Hemp products because they align directly with your goals.

This was my home. Never really liked it.

It was a splendid house, filled with gorgeous people surrounded by beautiful things…With shadows lurking in dark corners.

Unwanted hands grabbing whatever they could get, sinister whispers wrapping around innocent souls, heads turning to the other side, pretending not to see what should never be unseen.

It seemed I never really left, towing all that baggage half across the world, with ghosts flying out of my suitcases. In the end, it was not the inheritance that dragged me back, but those persistent ghosts.

This was my home. I set it on fire.

  1. This was bitterly good. I loved the tone. I think I’d have said “trying not to see what could never be unseen” rather than ‘should’. But perhaps you were trying to make a different point to the way I looked at it. In any event, excellent!

    Reminded me of The Vampire diaries when Elena set the house on fire with her brother in it (dead)..yikes “unwanted hands…on innocent souls”, God help us if that’s possible 🙂 nicely written, with good imagery.

    Great story, baggage never seems to get truly left behind. Ghosts in suitcases is a great metaphor, wherever you go however you try they’re coming with you.

  4. Some of those ghosts flew out of the suitcase into the reader’s minds too. Very powerful image and description of the house…the “what should never been unseen” added a complex layer of mystery, sadness and fear.

    Well done!

  5. Good word selection, descriptive voice! I absolutely love this track. I have not seen the movies, but been listening to the song for years. The resonate emotions embedded with the beautiful string section moves me to tears every time. Oh…to be loved like that.

  6. I think either some horrendous, disturbing things happened in that house that drove her away, she’s tremendously disturbed, or both. One does not simply burn their house down without reason. Also, either the ghosts are in her mind or the house is haunted. I tend to think the ghosts are terrible memories. Well done and layered, Lore. —- Suzanne

Do You Believe?

Note: My message is for all in hopes that there might be something you can learn. The posts are written to my children so some of the words at time may be a bit confusing. This all started because I wanted them to understand who therefore Dad is / was. What made me the way I am and how I evolved as a person.

This post has nothing to do with whether or not you believe that there is or is not a God. That is a choice I believe every person is entitled to make their own mind up on that question. I am not pretending to be an authority that can help guide you down that path.

However, if you have been going chronologically through my posts, I have gone through a bit of an evolution over the past six months. I have gone from a person that goes to church to someone who feels part of a family / community that makes up a church. There is something about being told I was close to dying that caused some of this and although I wish it had not have gone that far, a large part of me will always be thankful I did come close to my end.

100% of me is thankful for everything in my life these days. Having my life is a pretty big deal.

I would say the biggest evolution is that while I still have feelings of anger, resentment, discontent and other negative thoughts; I know now that they are not worth holding on to and try to part with them as quickly as I am able. There just doesn’t seem to be as much time as there used to be for that.

Last year, after we got our family pictures done, I was first awestruck by the fact we were able to get the family together for them. It seems so difficult to do with everyone being so busy. I really don’t know how families, more than just ours, can allow themselves to get to the point where they are too busy for one another. I don’t think our immediate family even makes it happen once a year anymore.

When we actually got the photos, the first thing I did was go through each one to find all the pictures of you. Every one of those immediately got marked as a favorite. Every one of those made my heart so happy. Each of you with your cousins, aunts, uncles, nanas and papas; and in every one smiles.

The next thing I did was then to try to figure out which picture of the two of you with you mom and I to print to have in the house, use for our holiday cards and essentially represent us for at least the next year. As I did this, I noticed something else altogether.

What I noticed is that I couldn’t find one where I was really smiling. I couldn’t understand it. I thought I was in a good mood that day. I thought I was smiling in every picture. Some people might look at some of them and say I was smiling. However, from my perspective I looked angry, in almost every one.

I asked your mom what she thought and her response set me back a bit. She essentially said, “You don’t really smile anymore, there’s always something you’re angry about.”

It was at this very moment, I remembered a sermon from church. And this was before getting sick. The sermon was about forgiveness. The overarching message, was that people can not be truly happy until they are able to forgive others. Holding on to negative feelings is what keeps a lot of us from being happy.

As with much of what I do, I jumped in head first to solve what I perceived to be a problem. Several therapy sessions, a bacterial blood infection and hours of reflection later I still have work to do. However, I know I became happier when I recognized the problem and I become happier each time I forgive.

But I still caution to never follow a line of thinking to forgive and forget. In fact, I would argue that it is most important to forgive and remember. Remember that forgiveness is not about your feelings that are released towards others, but more about the feelings that take away from you and who you are and who you want to be. After all who doesn’t want to be happy.

If you truly believe in one thing, believe in being happy.

If you truly believe in being happy, believe in the power that forgiveness is towards being happy.

I am definitely a believer.

Holiday Celebrate

I am so happy we’re going away for a bit. Hoping it will be warm and sunny so we can be in shorts and T-shirt’s all day long.

In preparation I started going through Alfie’s clothes. It was a good reason to sort out what he’s already grown out of. I realised I needed some additional items for a more summery wardrobe. So I went to H&M and got a few cute bits and bobs:

I ended up getting things for myself and Jack as well. I do love a little online shop. It reminded me of when I was little and I would sit on the sofa with my mum and a bunch of catalogues to order clothes from. I told her everything I liked and I assume she picked out the best items and made an order. My shopping habits started early.

I’m very excited about Alfie’s first holiday but I also worry about his reaction to flying. Will he freak out and be one of those kids I myself hate on airplanes? Or will he be super chill and sleep through it all? I want to prepare as much as I can so already planning what to pack in our carry-on.

We’ll need toys to keep him entertained. Probably a bit of food, both baby milk but also those veggie puffs from Ella’s Kitchen. He loves them and it’ll keep him occupied for a while as well. And extra clothes is a must as I’m sure he’ll be sick and spill his food.

It’s a good thing you get extra carry-on when with a baby. I’m secretly hoping they’ll bump us up to first class as well so we get extra space for all the stuff we’ll bring with us.

Oh goodness. I’m sure it’ll be fine but now I’m picturing the flight from hell. People tripping over his toys that are all over the place, passengers getting sticky baby food on their clothes and in their hair or Alfie screaming throughout the flight and Jack and I arguing over something stupid.

Any tips for first-time-baby-flyers?

Oh, where we’re going? Spain. Can not wait!

Hasta luego amigas!

Enjoy your day and hopefully you’ll get to sleep well, even if it’s only five minutes at a time. xx

Kadokawa has released a new listing for the 17th volume of Natsume Akatsuki’s KONOSUBA- God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! light novel series. There, the listing revealed that this 17th volume will also be the final volume for the popular isekai comedy series

In addition, the staff also revealed the cover art for this final volume, seen in the image below. . It will hit the shelves on 1st May 2020.

To say that KonoSuba is one of the most successful isekai franchises today would be quite an understatement. The series received two TV anime seasons, as well as a highly popular anime film.

It follows Kazuma, a shut-in who dies during a “traffic accident”. When he arrives in the afterlife, he meets a goddess named Aqua, who suggests Kazuma be a hero and she will give him one overpowered weapon. He agrees, and chooses Aqua as his weapon. Together, they get transported to an alternate world, and Aqua turns out to be a little… useless. And not only that, but they also gather a party of overpowered-yet-useless members as well, including Megumin, a powerful Arch Wizard who only knows one spell (and passes out after performing said spell) and Darkness, a Crusader who can take damage… but is too masochistic for her own good.

Both seasons are now available via Netflix.

SNSD’s Jessica Addresses Dating Rumors with Taecyeon – iphone apps for dating

SNSD’s Jessica Addresses Dating Rumors with Taecyeon

He says they only met for coffee. She says they are just friends. Both their entertainment agencies say that the fact that 2PM’s Taecyeon and Girls Generation’s Jessica met up recently in Japan does not mean they are dating. And yet the rumors keep on circulating. And that’s how long everyone involved has been denying them. The idol actor, who appeared in “CInderella’s Sister” and “Dream High,” said that when he heard Jessica was in Japan, he suggested they meet after he finished up at the gym. It was just a casual meet-up between good friends. Truthfully, I don’t think I could ever date him, because I just can’t forget my first love. Shortly thereafter both agencies made their official statements.

They were hugging as they went, then seperated right away after eyeing the employee’. Another netizen also left that ‘Jessica, on the night when she recently came back from Japan to Korea, went to see a movie with Ok Taecyeon again.

However, this is not the first time Jessica and Taecyeon were involved in a dating scandal. Last November, online rumors had it that Jessica and Taecyeon frequently watched movies together, with some even claiming to have seen the two cuddling throughout the movie. There were also a number of posts saying the two were spotted together at a restaurant. A few weeks later, Jong Hyun and Shin Se Kyung admitted their relationship after paparazzi photos of them surfaced online. So there you have it, another Jessica-Taecyeon dating rumor to stoke up your interest.

That just sounds too good to be true though, right? Latest Trending Popular Breaking. Community Forums Apps Viki.

Journaling goals for 2019

I have long wrestled with journal lust. I even wrote a blog post about it in 2014. Last year I decided to get serious about this problem and committed to buying fewer journals and writing more in the ones I have. In fact, I set the goal of journaling every single day....

Neige cendre Guillaume Campion

With the exception of a few forest sounds and piano samples, all sonic material heard in Neige cendre comes from quartz crystal vessels. These instruments, commonly used for meditation or music therapy, produce a sound which is very close to sine waves. However, when listening closely, one notices a number of parasite sounds produced when the instrument is played — frictions, faint whistling and other imperfections without which the vessel’s sound would be of little acousmatic interest. Neige cendre is thus a sort of narrative between the two sides of a single reality, the “pure” and “impure” sides of it, all tending towards their ultimate poetic fusion. I wish to thank Philippe-Guy Robichaud for the use of his crystal vessels.

Critical friends

As an experienced educator I learnt from some of the best. One of which is my dear friend Patisepa Tuafuti and the other was Anne Saunokonoko.

Pati shows by her actions that she grows leadership. One of which is standing back. She would push me hard to do things well out of my comfort zone and then be there to celebrate with me when I ever did anything amazing. But again always in the background. She never takes credit for achievements and always focussed on the group success. I cannot count the number of times she has shared successes with me and often put me in the limelight. But really it is her driving force that has achieved the outcome.

The other is an old principal Anne. Anne would say, “when you are successful, we are successful so go for it Sonya.” When I would quibble at attending another professional development session particularly concerning ICT, she would remind me with, ” Its not what you get out of the session, but what you contribute.” Staff at my school will now hear me use the same words. At the end of most training or celebrations she would be there for me to recap with and she would gently nudge me into trying something else new. Now I would call that downloading and rewinding strategies with a critical friend as part of reflection.

I often observe presentations and watch who is hovering in the background like a mother hen. More recently with social media I observe who is broadcasting the success of their teachers. Yes that person could be at the front in the spotlight. But often you watch them hovering to ensure that the sessions go well and only step in when needed. They are there to help celebrate their teachers achievements and to be the person to recap with and help identify next steps.

At the same time we all need mentors. We all need someone we can download with and rewind our learning. We all need someone who helps us identify our next steps. Some schools use the term critical friends because often they ask the hard questions. They provide opportunities for staff to step up. They are the ones pulling the staff forward to take a jump into unfamiliar learning.

In your workplace, who do you identify as your critical friend? Who is the staff member who pulls staff hardest out of their comfort zone? Probably those of you who are reading this, it is you. If you are arrived via twitter or if you are from my school, then you are my one of my critical friends and you know me, I welcome discussion. Click below.

One thought on “Critical friends

  1. Hi Sonya

    I totally agree you need critical friends to make progress.

    I have just posted my third blog post and it has helped to clarify my thinking.

    Thanks for being a critical colleague and friend.

In 2018, Apple officially ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack as the tech giant pulled the plug on the production of the iPhone SE, 6S, 6S Plus, and X, retaining the iPhone 7 & 8, and making way for the newer Xr, Xs, and Xs Max. Since then, the maker hasn’t been selling any smartphones featuring the headphone jack design.

The 3.5mm connector, Apple explained, was discontinued to further reduce the weight and the thickness of the newer iPhone models. That move, however, left millions of iPhone users seriously displeased as they grapple with a disturbing headphone headache.

Still, all new iPhone models feature a pair of Apple’s little white EarPods, like they always have. However, instead of the now defunct 3.5mm audio connector, the EarPods now come with a Lightning connector, which you will use to plug into the iPhone.

Unfortunately, the cheap little EarPods has poor sound quality, and for this reason, several users still prefer purchasing better headphones from third-party companies to listen to their favorite music.

If you dislike having to deal with adapters for listening to music or podcasts on your iPhone 7, 8 Plus, X, or iPad, there are many lightning earbuds on the market which offer a range of quality features and interesting specs. In this write-up, we have reviewed the 7 best lightning earbuds for iPhone 7 | 8 Plus | X & iPad.

Top Lightning Earbuds for iPhones

Audeze Sine

Audeze SINE On-Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones with Integrated Lightning Cable for Apple iPhone/iPod/iPad
  • The World's First On-Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones - Experience better bass, better transients, and the lowest distortion through a crafted blend of modern industrial design, top-quality build, and leading edge planar magnetic technology.
  • With Lightning Cable for Apple Users - Our 24-bit lightning cable brings a significantly better sound through its built-in amplifier, DAC and DSP that lets you bypass the internal system in your iPhone, iPod or iPad. Also offers a SIRI-compatible microphone for voice calls.
  • Customize With The Audeze iOS App - Personalize your music playback with a 10-band equalizer that changes EQ in real time, and refine bass levels and tamp down highs on peaky recordings with the exclusive Audeze iOS app
  • Audeze For Everyone - From the makers of the elite Audeze LCD series headphones, the award-winning SINE On-Ear Headphones are the next step up for many conventional headphone users made by the brand everyone is talking about, featuring incredibly accurate, well balanced, distortion-free sound.
  • Made in the USA, designed by BMW - SINE On-Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones are designed, engineered, and assembled in our Southern California factory. Custom aluminum frame, floating headband, and closed-back headphone style designed by our strategic partner Designworks, a BMW group subsidiary. Lightweight, incredibly comfortable, and fold down flat for travel

The Audeze Sine Headphones, which take the first spot in this ranking, are the top-end boutique Lightning earbuds, coming with an array of exciting features and a high price tag to match.

These cans rank high among the top of the line 3.5mm headphones. They don’t require an external amplifier as their “Cipher” Lightning cable features their own headphone amplifier as well as 24-bit DAC (digital/analogue converter). This ensures that no detail is missed through high-resolution playback.

While this capability isn’t unexpected from any Lightning headphones, the level of quality isn’t the same as the one Audeze brings. Also, you would find the build quality impressive, with the Sine pairs sturdily designed with metal parts that have a premium soft leather finish.

This product has a standard 3.5mm cable, in addition to a special Cipher Lightning cable.

  • Top-quality sound
  • Digitally stores two EQ profiles through the Audeze app
  • Built-in DAC delivering outstanding playback detail
  • Wide frequency response and sound stage
  • Very expensive

Though they are expensive, the high-quality sound makes it worth the price if you’re an audiophile that seeks only the best Lightning headphones. The flat Cipher cable offers built-in volume controls, along with other functions like play/pause, an inline mic, and others.

Also, the headset digitally stores two EQ profiles, which you can create within the Audeze application. Its cable is slightly flimsy, considering the level of importance of the sound.

While the headphones are significantly slimmer when compared with full over-ear models, the former product isn’t the most portable option on the market. The best thing is to keep on-ear headphones in your home, where you will be able to enjoy them without fear of additional wear and tear.

However, due to the convenience of the built-in DAC, you may find it difficult to resist taking them out.

Due to the planar magnetic drivers, the earcups have a slim profile because they require far less space to displace air as a result of the digital amp. Apart from that, they produce awesome sound, delivering the same frequency response within the range, 10Hz – 50kHz.

This product has deep soundstage and superb dynamics. Looking at audio quality overall, the sound is notably hard to beat by a traditional analog connection unless there is a high-end DAC included in the mix.

Merging the two, Audeze could produce a very costly series of digital headphones, with the Sines one of the least expensive that the brand has designed. At this price segment, the nuances of uncompressed audio become a talking point, and an experienced user can spot how a 128kbps stream is different from a lossless recording (in the cheaper options).

  • Wide frequency response & deep sound stage
  • Digitally stored EQ control through Audeze mobile app
  • Interchangeable Lightning cable featuring high-end DAC & headphone amp

  • High cost
  • On-ear design can lead to fatigue for a user
  • Cipher cable is a bit flimsy

Why Buy?

The Audeze Sine headphones are a high-end product with a variety of top-quality features and specs. It is an excellent option to enjoy listening to your favorite music on your iPhone 7, 8 Plus, X, or iPad if the high price tag of $598.99 isn’t much of a problem.

Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset

Sennheiser AMBEO Smart Headset (iOS) – Active Noise Cancellation, Transparent Hearing and 3D Sound Recording
  • All-in-one Headset: In-Ear Canal headphones with Lightning connector. Features high quality music listening, transparent hearing mode, Active Noise Cancellation, 3D sound recording, immersive playback and crystal clear voice calls.
  • Hear The World: Stay connected to the world and hear what’s going on around you by activating the transparent hearing feature.
  • Silence The World: Isolate yourself from the world and enjoy your music to the fullest. The Active Noise Cancellation mode allows you to block out background noise whenever you like.
  • Record Your World: Capture your moments exactly how you experience them. Thanks to built-in, high-quality microphones, you can easily record videos with perfect 3D audio.
  • Relive Your World: By replaying your immersive recordings, you can fully relive your memories as if you’re there again. Or share them with friends. Connectivity Technology: Wired - Lightning Cable

The Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset comes next in this review of the 7 best Lightning earbuds for iPhone 7, 8Plus, X, and iPad.

These headphones are designed with remarkable features, a technical demonstration of all the different applications of Lightning audio on the iPhone. The earbuds contain a set of small, medium, & large earphone tips, ensuring that you get the most comfortable fit and best seal.

But the ear hooks don’t have such flexibility, so they may not be suitable for listeners with abnormally large ears. Also, the headset has a bulky design. Fortunately, they provide quality sound and an exciting array of other features.

  • 3D audio recording
  • Naturally wide soundstage
  • Easy-to-use control cluster of buttons

These headphones are MFi-certified, delivering rich sounds, a signature of Sennheiser audio devices, especially within the $250 price segment. Because the Ambeo Smart Headset is built for playing — and recording — binaural audio, you will find the soundstage naturally wide.

It can recreate a 3D sound space without having to forcibly pan various audio elements apart, and the overall sound quality is not only clear but also rich, with a nice blend of crisp highs and smooth mids. Though present, the bass isn’t all that superb, so if you want a product with a more bass-heavy sound signature, you could consider the other options on this list.

Where these headphones shine brightest is when it comes to active noise cancelation as the feature is powered by two omnidirectional mics built into their earpieces. The tech works magically to block out ambient noise. It is even effective to the extent that the headset has a dedicated button, enabling the transparent hearing function, which blends a base level of ambient noise back in. This lets you gain more awareness when in a crowded area, crossing the street, etc.

The device also has an added feature, which sets it apart from the majority of ANC headphones, enabling it to directly record high-quality 3D audio to your iPhone. You will find this feature handy to recreate spatial audio experiences, such as walking through a crowd, and useful to receive calls.

To start recording, simply launch your camera app and tap the record button, which sits among the inline control cluster. Apart from the record function, the control cluster also has a button each for volume, pause/play/skip as well as a button to adjust different levels of noise cancellation.

  • Wide soundstage
  • Detailed and balanced audio
  • 3D audio recording

  • Bass could be richer
  • Bulky design
  • Ear hooks are not fitting for all ears

Why Buy?

Due to their unique use, these headphones isn’t ideal for all users. However, if you fancy recording “found sound” audio as well as live blogging, the Ambeo Smart Headset, which starts at $299.95, is worth checking out.

Each 1MORE earbud is designed with 2 balanced armatures that work as mini tweeters and create the crisp highs, conveying the emotion of the music. They are equipped with a single dynamic driver, creating mid to low frequencies, giving the earbud a powerful presence.

This driver arrangement offers the music space and detail. Also, you will find the clarity of the highs spectacular.

The headphones give you a nice selection of 9 different earphone tips, so you can get the most suitable options for a reliable seal.

  • Triple Driver headphones with clear and accurate sound
  • Equipped with 24 Bit/48 kHz DAC
  • 5-in-1 inline controller to pick calls and do other things

Each earbud comes with 3 drivers, and each of these drivers delivers a different sound frequency. The result of this is a far more sophisticated sound compared with that produced by single full-frequency drivers. However, you would need to hear the difference be convinced.

As a result of the 24 Bit/48 kHz DAC, which all Lightning headphones feature, the Triple Driver headphones pump through lossless audio formats, bringing about the clearest & most accurate sound.

The 1MORE earbuds are armed with inline controls, ensuring that playback can be easily controlled, and they also let you accept calls, adjust volume, activate voice control, and change tracks.

  • Triple drivers producing clear and accurate sound
  • 5-in-1 inline controller
  • Wide frequency response & sound stage

  • Doesn’t last long
  • Muffled lows

The device features a sturdy design, sporting beefy earbuds, with a durable fabric-wrapped cable coming below the inline controls.

  • Robust build quality

The Q Adapt headphone from Libratone offers proprietary CityMix active noise cancellation that effectively works to shut out office chatter, traffic sounds, and gym clattering. This product offers 4 various settings for controlling the ambient noise level to be allowed in. And this function can be controlled through the Libraton App.

Clearly, this nuance significantly affects the kind of enjoyment you get from your portable audio, making the Q Adapt’s already awesome digital signal processing even better. As with most Libratone audio devices, the Q Adapt’s sound has a balanced low-end with electrifying highs.

With the inline controls, you can gain access to an inline mic, along with volume control. These inline controls equally feature the DAC and amplifier.

  • Robust build quality

  • Wide frequency response that has a balanced low-end

  • Muddled low-end
  • Awkward fit

Why Buy?

Sony MDR1ADAC DAC/Amplifier-Integrated Headphones

Sony MDR1ADAC/S Premium Hi-Res DAC/Amplifier-Integrated Headphones, Silver
  • Premium DAC supports full Hi-Res audio: PCM 192kHz/24 bit, DSD 2.8/5.6MHz, Direct Digital Connection for PC, Walkman, Xperia, and Apple devices, 2 in 1 integrated use: Hi-Res Headphones + Headphone DAC and amplifier
  • Sound Reproduction up to 100 kHz (for High Resolution Audio), 40 mm ALCP diaphragms for articulate audio reproduction (3-100 Hz), Asynchronous, precision USB clock for superior sound, S-Master HX digital amplifier for unparalleled sound
  • Passive use for normal, corded operation without battery, Ergonomic ear pads for powerful response and long-term comfort, Silver coated OFC cable minimizes signal transmission loss, Beat Response Control for improved bass and transient response
  • Enfolding structure for wrap-around feel and improved acoustic seal, Inward axis structure delivers optimum fit, Silent joints won't disturb your audio experience, Auto input select: (iOS, USB, Walkman, Xperia) Digital and Analog input
  • Built-in Lithium-ion battery for up to 7.5 hours on-the-go playback, Supplied: USB and Walkman, Xperia, Lightning Connector, standard audio cables, and carrying pouch

When it comes to digital output headphones that are versatile, Sony’s MDR1ADAC is worthy of note.

The product is designed with a detachable Lightning cable and features a 3.5mm cable, a USB-C cable, in addition to proprietary connectors for the Walkman & Xperia mp3 players.

With their built-in DAC and amplifier, the folding over-ear headphones are built for providing you with superior digital signal processing at a fair, starting at $232.36.

  • Powerful DAC & amplifier
  • Lightweight & comfortable
  • Versatile digital outputs
  • 5 hours of playback

While the DAC on these headphones offers listeners a number of perks and benefits, one odd thing about it is — it can’t be driven by only Lightning power. Also, it’s a rechargeable battery offering around 7.5 hours of playback.

While analog playback modes don’t need the battery to be on, the Lightning cable requires it. However, the inconvenience of limited battery life is made up for by the convenience of a more robust DAC & amplifier.

Consequently, this choice design brings about awesome audio sounds on the device. With the 40mm drivers, the headphones can deliver great volume, which can be controlled via the left earcup, and which can produce an audio output at 192kHz/24-bit.

Several other headphones won’t be able to attain this level of detail, and that sets these MDR1ADAC cans apart from the competition when it comes to production of an intricate reproduction of sound.

Also, the headphones offer a midrange that’s rich and clear, complemented by expansive highs, which round out the frequency spectrum. But the low-end is slightly sloppy as a natural EQ bump blow some sounds out of proportion.

Several users may yet again prefer a sound profile that has thumping bass; however, since the focus in the design of these headphones is on the accurate playback of uncompressed WAV/FLAC files, that could be a drawback in an otherwise balanced sound.

On the brighter side, you won’t observe any distortion, even when you tune to the highest audio levels. Apart from that, the earcups — which are somewhat shallow — are incredibly plush.

This makes this product to rank high among the most comfortable headphones on our compilation of the 7 best lightning earbuds for iPhone 7 | 8 Plus | X & iPad.

This, however, is yet another pair of headphones that doesn’t feature an inline mic.

  • Lightweight & comfortable design
  • Rich & detailed audio playback
  • Versatile digital (sound) outputs

  • There’s no online mic
  • DAC needs an internal battery for supplementing Lightning power
  • Slightly accentuated bass that impacts balance

Why Buy?

Sony’s MDR1ADAC offers you a lot of promise and features, which can serve a variety of digital uses. Once you don’t find it much an issues having to periodically plug into a MicroUSB, they are a solid choice, especially if you are a fan of iPhone 8.

JBL Reflect Aware

JBL Reflect Aware in-Ear Sport Headphones with Lightning (Black)
  • Noise cancellation with adaptive noise control for adjustable ambient sound
  • Lightning connector for Apple devices, including the iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPad Air, Air 2, & iPad Pro
  • Enjoy JBL's best in class noise cancellation technologies and adjust the adaptive noise control for as much or as little outside noise as you want
  • 14.8mm drivers deliver a massive sound
  • Highly reflective colorful cables for maximum visibility

The JBL Reflect Aware represents the first Lightning headphone, which is specially made for use in sports. Let’s take a look at what the product offers you.

The earbuds are built from the top down mainly for versatile sports use, featuring a sweat-proof coating that is suitable for the heaviest of workouts. Also, there’s a reflective cable, which enhances visibility on runs.

Additionally, the 3 sets of sport earphone tips lock into place smoothly, providing a great seal for a full sound.

  • Audio performance is detailed & well-balanced
  • Sweat-proof, reflective, and long-lasting sports design
  • Inline mic for taking calls
  • Adaptive noise control providing variable isolation levels
  • Lightning cable featuring inline controls for volume & play/pause

For starters, the Lightning cable comes with inline controls for volume & play/pause. And there’s an inline mic that helps you take phone calls.

On the control box, you’ll see the button for activating the Adaptive Noise Control option, providing you with comprehensive control over how much of the environment you’re in bleeds through the audio device.

The active noise canceling works in conjunction with the JBL Headphone app, enabling individual control over the noise isolation on the left as well as right channels.

Noise canceling, at its highest setting, is a fantastic option as it brings about a serenely quiet bed that your music rests on.

But there’s a problem with this option: The lowest ANC setting that should theoretically allow you to hear the outside world with clarity without the need to remove your headphones, doesn’t seem polished.

This implies that you’ll still have to take the earphones out when you want to hold a conversation.

As regards audio performance, the 14.8mm drivers in these earbuds feature a nice punch without any compromise on fidelity. The bass is solid for their size, and it ensures a well-balanced sound overall.

In the Reflect Aware, the maximum volume isn’t so great. However, to make your music come through more, consider cranking up that noise canceling option to get a more focused sound.

  • Detailed & balanced audio
  • Sweat-proof, reflective, and long-lasting sports design
  • Adaptive noise control providing variable isolation levels

  • Muffled mids
  • Internal amplifier needs some improvement

Why Buy?

The JBL Reflect Aware headphones are specifically designed for sport use. Thus, if you need a pair of earbuds for your gym activities or as a runner, they are an affordable option, which costs only $45.

  • Physically stored EQ control via Audeze mobile app
  • Interchangeable Lightning cable using premium DAC & headphone amp
  • Wide frequency response & soundstage

  • High price tag

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

In this section, we take a look at a couple of commonly asked questions about lightning earbuds for iPhones and iPad.

When did Apple launch the Lightning port?

The Cupertino-based manufacturer introduced the Lightning port in September 2012 with the iPhone 5, after the company axed the 30-pin connector, which had been in use for charging on all former iPhone & iPod models.

Why did Apple ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack?

Since its launch in 1964 on the Sony EFM-117J radio, the 3.5mm headphone connector has been featured on portable devices. The design then got popular in 1979 following Sony Walkman’s release.

In modern times, moving through the different generations of iPhone models with the connector, a major benefit that the removal of the 3.5mm port was claimed to offer was an opportunity to make the iPhone 7 thinner. However, it turned out to be less thin than the previous model since both the iPhone 7 and earlier iPhone 6S version had 7.1mm in thickness.

There was one rumor that proved true: The space occupied by the headphone socket would create room for a 2nd speaker. The iPhone 7 (in addition to other models like the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X, XR & XS) came with stereo speakers that Apple said deliver much better sound when you aren’t making use of headphones.

Eventually, the brand simply decided that the 3.5mm headphone connector was doing only little for the iPhone to justify its space. And apparently, that was a good enough excuse to convince everyone to join the bandwagon of Lightning or wireless headphones.

What are the advantages of Lightning earbuds?

The lightning earbuds for iPhones reviewed above — and lightning headphones generally — offer iOS users a range of benefits and perks, including more power, Hi-fi portability, improved sound, better EQ, digital potential.

In a Nutshell

Drawing the curtain on our list of the 7 best lightning earbuds for iPhone 7 | 8 Plus | X & iPad, when you are looking to get quality and durable lightning headphones for an iOS-powered device, it is important to do your homework well.

With the information in this post, you have been able to learn of the design, features, pros, and cons of a number of options you can select from to enjoy a pleasant music listening experience via your iPhone or iPad.

When Apple ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack in previous iPhone models in 2018, the move was met with a lot of furor in the market as users struggled to cope with life without the jack design. Today, we have a slew of lightning earbuds that promise audiophiles a powerful experience listening to their favorite music.

And so far, these products — especially those reviewed above — have lived up to our expectation.

Krasnopol Artillery Weapon System | Explained

Krasnopol Artillery Weapon System | Explained

2K25 Krasnopol

This is a Russian cannon-launched, fin-stabilized, base bleed-assisted, semi-automatic laser-guided, artillery weapon system. It is designed to engage both moving and stationary ground targets by the first shot.

The guided projectile automatically homes in on an illuminated point using to the optical seeker head and four folding canards.

A booster gas generator and an improved aerodynamic configuration increase the firing range and allow employing the weapon system in complex weather conditions and at night. It can be fired by both 152mm and 155mm towed guns and self-propelled howitzers.

The Krasnopol system can also fire a salvo of multiple projectiles on a target using a single laser designator, which is typically operated by a ground-based artillery observer or an unmanned aerial vehicle.

The warhead is a high explosive fragmentation type. This allows it to be used against heavily armored vehicles such as tanks owing to the steep trajectory of the projectile which allows it to defeat the relatively thin roof armor on most vehicles.

Krasnopol is capable of hitting targets moving at speeds up to 36 km/h. The maximum firing range is 25 km.

Russian forces actively use the system in their military campaign in Syria.

We’ve all heard that taking care of yourself as a mom—aka self-care—is important. You can’t pour from an empty cup…you have to put your oxygen mask on first…etc., etc. The thing is, this is so much easier said than done. It’s almost as if when you give birth and first hold that beautiful, dependent being, your ability to prioritize yourself—even when doing so will help you help others—is permanently impaired. Or, maybe you were able to take some “me” time (side note — anyone else hate this term?) when your babies were small, but now that they’re school age/tweens/teens, bigger kids means bigger problems (and less time for you). The thing is, experts across the board say that a happier mom really is a better mom. But if the idea of spending time sitting in a pedicure chair or on a massage table seems more like a chore to you (or a great way to worry about your to do list…), know that self-care doesn’t have to happen in a spa or salon. It can be anything that makes you take a breath, think about something other than those relying on you, makes you healthier, encourages you to smile or laugh, or gives you peace of mind. Need some inspiration? We turned to a few of the moms from The Local Moms Network to see how they practice self-care:

I’m a big fan of Pure Barre so you can find me there most mornings. Also, planning ahead for date nights with your spouse – we aim for a night every other month and it’s a time to connect and reset away from the kids! — Liz Barrett, South Wake Raleigh Moms

I try to have a sitter come 1-2 times a week for 3-4 hours so I can have a little “me time”. Sometimes I’ll get a mani/ pedi or take the time to have coffee alone and catch up on some work. I know it sounds weird, but I love what I do and being able to have adult conversations and concentrate on emails is very relaxing and even fun for me (total nerd alert!). — Melissa DeSanti, Mendham Moms

Aerial Fitness is a fun one (when I’m not pregnant). It’s a great workout and it’s actually fun! Think, learning to fly! — Stefanie Tiso, Stamford Moms

Beach time ALONE. One hour, grab an iced coffee and head down with girlfriends or a good book and park your beach chair from the crowd for a little respite from the chaos. – Dani Nylen, South Shore Moms

As a busy mom of 3 young boys, I think being a fit and healthy leader is important! On Sundays I plan out our family activities and schedule. I also plan my doctors’ appointments, workouts, dates with friends and me time. Planning ahead of time and actually making the time is so helpful and important. — Megan Sullivan, Greenwich Moms

Commentary | American Human Spaceflight Floundering

The ultimate goal is Mars. To do what exactly, and for how long, is unknown. The path has varied wildly across the past two U.S. administrations.

The George W. Bush administration would have had us return to the Moon and use it as a springboard for Mars. Funds sufficient to accomplish this were never requested.

Faced with a depressed economy, the Barack Obama administration decided to scrap the Moon plans, and the balloon payment needed, and send astronauts to a near-Earth asteroid in the 2020s. The long-duration spaceflight would support the future Mars goal. Suddenly, the administration changed gears and decided to capture a small asteroid and bring it back to lunar orbit for subsequent exploration by astronauts — or maybe not. The objectives are not clear.

A workshop of experts met recently in Washington to review and discuss the Asteroid Retrieval Mission (ARM). It is apparent that the mission is poorly conceived and lacking in basic planning, and carries huge cost and schedule risk that is more dumb than heroic. NASA may not know it yet, but ARM is dead, and the future of American human spaceflight is again in question.

Perhaps it is time to move away from stunt as policy — a tragic legacy of the Apollo program. If we are going to confront a true frontier like space, we need to ask some basic questions to find out what is possible or at least practical. Then we can define long-term goals with a real plan to achieve them.

Back in the 1960s, the public was inspired by the idea that we were at the dawn of a space age in which we would inevitably (and soon!) find ourselves living and working on other worlds. These would be new self-sustaining economies. This continues to echo in science fiction and the roadmaps of advocacy groups like the National Space Society. It has never been given serious consideration by the government. After half a century, we do not even know whether Earth life can thrive in the lower lunar or martian gravities. We don’t need to go to the Moon or Mars to answer the question. We just need a centrifuge and the international space station (ISS).

Our activities in space will always be limited by the high cost of launching everything we need from the surface of Earth. For more than 30 years scientists have explored the possibility of resources, such as water, from near-Earth asteroids. This could supply fuel for propulsion, water for life support and shielding from radiation.

We are also limited by our clunky spacesuits. Hopping around the lunar surface with a hammer and a bag may make for entertaining videos, but it is extremely limiting when it comes to science or any other activity that can be done.

So, what should be the focus of the American human exploration program today?

With the Space Launch System and a scaled-down version of the electric propulsion system contemplated for ARM, let’s launch a small habitat to the L1 Lagrange point between Earth and the Moon. The astronauts in it would conduct investigations of the lunar surface by controlling small landed systems through immersive telepresence (used today in medicine and mines on Earth). The habitat could be also moved to the far side of the Moon, at L2, to conduct further experiments. In the meantime, long-term experience in the habitat and its maintenance would be gained and telepresence skills learned that could be extended to other solar system bodies as well as spacecraft.

In parallel, a version of the planned centrifuge for the ISS that was canceled in 2006 could be sent up to conduct fundamental life-science experiments that will answer the question of whether Earth is the only planetary basket we have in which to keep our eggs.

Studies need to be conducted on ISS to develop the processes to extract water and other materials from asteroid samples in our possession — meteorites. Simulants — materials simulating the expected chemical and mechanical properties of asteroid samples — would also be tested. How would we design an automated resource extraction unit to operate in the nearly zero gravity and uncertain topography of a near-Earth asteroid? Could something like a deployable solar sail be designed to return processed materials to Earth-Moon space?

We cannot assume the resources are there. We need to conduct a space-based survey of near-Earth objects in low delta-velocity orbits (these objects tend to lurk in twilight so surveys using ground-based telescopes are not optimal). Something comparable to the recent and very successful and low-cost Wide-field Infrared Space Explorer would be sufficient to do the job.

If we find the targets and develop the resource extraction processes and the means of returning those resources, if we gain experience in the lunar orbiting habitat and the skills of teleoperation for increasingly sophisticated human tasks, and if we determine that we could expand our space transportation infrastructure at lower cost by using near-Earth asteroid resources, the next step would be simple. Humans would be sent in another habitat with a propulsion system to a reasonably accessible near-Earth object. At the same time, a robotic mission would be heading to the same object with an automated resource recovery test facility. The humans could collect samples and conduct other science experiments, but their No. 1 priority would be to keep an eye on the robotic facility as it deploys and commences operation and do what humans do best — give it a kick if it needs it. They would troubleshoot any problems so that future facilities could be launched to additional targets without being tended. Of course, for this first mission there might also be a precursor robotic mission to characterize the human target.

Asteroidal fuel could be used to send people down to the surface of the Moon. Similarly, lunar resources could provide some of the fuel needed to return astronauts from the surface of the Moon to orbit.

All of this can be done at a pace that financial resources allow. None of it requires a massive, Apollo-like infusion of dollars. It is a step-by-step approach towards an open-ended future with real decision points that require straightforward planning and management.

NASA does not need to compete with the entertainment industry. It can inspire with real questions about a real future in which the public might once again see themselves.

Mark V. Sykes is chief executive officer and director of the Planetary Science Institute.

Spider just awarded Bistro Award

Spider was just awarded the Bistro Award for Ongoing Jazz Artistry in NYC on March 13, 2017.

She performed a the ceremony along side luminaries, Darlene Love, Carol Woods and Paul Shaffer!  Here is her review that she received for show in NYC just days before the award!

bistro 1Spider Saloff

The Best of Spider Saloff

Pangea, NYC, March 8, 2017

Reviewed by Marilyn Lester for Cabaret Scenes

If there is anything negative to say about the glorious Spider Saloff, it’s that this jazz diva of impeccable musicality does not perform in New York City often enough. Lucky those in Chicagoland, where she’s based. Saloff knows how to put on a show and leave ’em begging for more—which is exactly what happened at the end of this outing at Pangea. After completing her set with a poetic interpretation of Irving Berlin’s “There’s No Business Like Show Business” (sung as a love song – 180 degrees away from the Ethel Merman style of belting brashness), Saloff was brought back to the stage by a relentlessly applauding audience. With a delightful and unplanned “They Can’t Take That Away from Me” (George and Ira Gershwin), she was finally allowed to cap off an evening of her favorite songs. It was a repertoire delivered with heart and with a fine regard for nuance. Saloff can belt, but why should she? This diva knows from deep within that the power of music isn’t in how loud it is, but in the wisdom with which the words and music are presented.

What truly sets Saloff apart from the crowd is her empathy: she feels the song; she becomes the song. And she is willing to go into that territory of intense emotion. Her fearlessness in giving herself to a number yields a rare authenticity and truth, as with her renditions of  “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most” (Tommy Wolf/Fran Landesman) and her own very personal “Deep Inside the Rain.”  Yet, the set was well balanced, with jazzy upbeat numbers, including “Deed I Do” (Fred Rose/Walter Hirsch), “You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To” (Cole Porter), and “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” (Berlin) set to a foot-tapping Latin beat.

Saloff not only has a bright, personable and natural way on the stage, but her easy narrative provides context and texture to the music   — plus, she’s funny. Her comic timing made Porter’s “Tale of the Oyster” and Berlin’s “naughty” “You’d Be Surprised!” two delightful treats. With Musical Director, pianist and “partner in crime,” Ricky Ritzel, a counter-intuitive, lazy start to “The Joint Is Jumpin’” (Thomas Waller/Andy Razaf/J.C. Johnson) brought big laughs. Ritzel, Saloff’s long-time collaborator, shares an easy, comfortable chemistry with the singer. It’s also a pleasure to hear his sprightly artistry on the keys, matching Saloff’s variety and eclecticism note for note. Spider Saloff puts her own stamp on the music, and that’s the kind of intelligent, creative artistry that sets the gold standard for any kind of live entertainment.

Paper Abstract

A new photomask technology with the Advanced Binary Film (ABF) by HOYA has been established. The film of relatively low thickness is expected to show the best lithography performance. The simple film structure of thin film of chemically amplified resist, as a mask layer for etching, on the thin ABF film enables us to obtain sub-50nm small features in a photomask. The thinness of the film also helps to avoid pattern collapse in cleaning steps. The photomask with ABF expecting the best currently available lithography performance shows the best achievable durability for use in ArF lithography process steps and the best attainable feasibility in the fabrication process steps for leading edge photomasks.
