The last time Randy Cruz stepped on the mat in Grace Hall, it was Nov. 6 and the sophomore was making his return from a redshirt season in the season opener against Hofstra.
The 2013 EIWA champ struggled that night, eventually dropping a 15-8 decision to the Pride's Jamel Hudson.
When he returns to his home mat this weekend for the first time since then, the Bethlehem Catholic product will bring a five-match win streak including back-to-back pins last weekend during the Mountain Hawks sweep through Illiniois.
"Randy's obviously made a big jump since that first dual," said Lehigh coach Pat Santoro, whose team takes on EIWA foe Penn today and Rider Sunday at Grace Hall. Match time for both is 2 p.m. "He's moving his feet much better and his hand fighting has gotten better since that first match.
"When you're coming off a redshirt year, sometimes that first match is tough," Santoro continued. "Your family and friends are watching you for the first time in a long time, so you want to do well and I think he put too much pressure on himself. Now he's catching up and more relaxed and wrestling the way he's capable of wrestling."
Cruz (5-1) has climbed up to No. 16 at 141 in the Open Mat rankings. He's one of four ranked wrestlers in the Mountain Hawk lineup, joining Mason Beckman (5-1, sixth at 133), Nate Brown (5-1, fifth at 184) and Bethlehem Catholic's Elliot Riddick (5-2, No. 11 at 187).
Two freshmen have wrested in each of Lehigh's six dual meets, and while they have opposite records, Santoro is pleased with the early performances of both 125-pounder Scott Parker (5-1) and 149-pounder Drew Longo (1-5).
Parker's lone loss was a 4-3 decision to Penn State's Jordan Conaway, ranked 10th nationally. Longo's lone win was 8-2 over Columbia's Connor Sutton but in his last time out took reigning national champion Jason Tsirtsis to the wire before falling 7-4.
"That's a match to remember for him," Santoro said. "By the end he had [Tsirtsis] tired, and Drew saw that he can wrestle with anybody in the country when he gets it all together."
Santoro called Parker, from Pennridge, a "great sparkplug.
"He's just fun to watch," Santoro said. "His one loss is to a 10th-ranked guy in a tight match, and he just loves to compete and wrestle, and those things are evident when you watch him."
Lehigh has won four straight road matches since a 24-10 loss at No. 5 Penn State on Nov. 9, including victories over three ranked teams — No. 11 Pitt (19-12), No. 13 Illinois (24-15) and No. 17 Northwestern (30-10). They also hammered Columbia (34-3) at the Downtown Athletic Club in New York.
After some time off for finals, the Mountain Hawks return to the mats on Dec. 21 at Madison Square Garden against Princeton and Edinboro in the third-annual Grapple at the Garden wrestling extravaganza, but after this weekend it will be another nearly seven weeks until Lehigh returns to Grace Hall on January 24 against Franklin & Marshal, the first of five straight home duals leading into the National Duals in Iowa City on February 22.
"That's the way the schedule goes sometimes," Santoro said. "Last year I think we had a ton of matches at home in the fall and then not many over the winter. In a perfect world you'd have a couple at home every month, but it doesn't happen that way. The ultimate goal is just to go out and perform no matter where you are."

Sarkozy did nothing of the kind.
Many had believed him when, as a presidential candidate, he committed himself to a postcolonial clean-up in a speech in Benin in 2006: 'We must rid Franco-African relations of the networks of a bygone age, of informal emissaries who have no mandate other than the one they invent for themselves.'
There would be no more nodding and winking, no more 'secrets and ambiguities': 'Relations between modern states can't simply depend on the quality of relations between heads of state but must hinge on square and honest dialogue.'
Yet since he took office, Sarkozy has perpetuated France's time-honoured tradition of parallel diplomacy in Africa. One set of advisers presides in public over the official business of l'Afrique de jour, while Robert Bourgi, in tandem with the Elysée chief of staff, Claude Guéant, is in charge of l'Afrique de nuit, where the lucrative, personalised politics that Sarkozy denounced during his presidential campaign continue to thrive.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Adulthood (07/30/09)
- TITLE: Adult Entertainment | Previous Challenge Entry
By PamFord Davis
Who is included in their growing audience? It would probably surprise us if we knew. Adolescents with impressionable minds find access to x rated offerings. Men and women of all ages keep the industry profitable. To some it is likely occasional sampling out of curiosity. To others it is a life long addiction, with little hope of escape.
How does a person become involved? Some are attracted out of feelings of loneliness. Some are simply bored and looking for excitement. Others are drawn in by companions, like a fly to a spider's web! Satan, the deceiver tells people it is harmless entertainment!
Where did it all begin? It was first experienced in a most unlikely place, in a perfect environment, in the Garden of Eden! Eve was the first participant in adult entertainment and its consequences. "So when the woman SAW that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the EYES, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate,
(Genesis 3:6 NKJ)." Eve looked too long and lusted for forbidden fruit! The tree was not evil; eating what God commanded not to be eaten was the willful sin. A few minutes of selfish pleasure resulted in spiritual death!
As adults we are expected to make wise mature choices. God has blessed us with appetites which are not sinful. Sin is born when we try to satisfy those appetites outside of God's perfect plan. Our decisions influence coming generations. God wants us to have fulfillment and lasting joy. Adult entertainment leaves people hungering for more and can never satisfy. "The show must NOT go on!"

Many students assume that the more caffeine you drink, the better your cognitive performance. Over-consumption of caffeine has many negative effects, so if there are no dose related cognitive benefits to large amounts of caffeine, then college students should limit their intake. This study looked at whether ingesting a medium dose (200 mg) versus a lower dose (100 mg) of caffeine improved short term memory as measured by Flanker and n-back tests, compared to a control group. In addition, we looked at whether larger doses of caffeine produced a difference in neuronal activation during these tests as measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR). There were no differences in cognitive performance observed between the treatment groups, although the 200 mg caffeine group did have significantly more neuronal activation during higher cognitive load tasks. If increased neuronal activation does not correlate to increased performance, it may not reflect an actual benefit of increased caffeine consumption.

Oncothyreon CEO on Next-Generation Cancer Vaccines, Two Key Zymonites, and Serious Luck
(Page 4 of 7)
where it went into a pivotal trial and didn't work, but it did in a subgroup?
BK: It wasn't a pivotal trial. It was a randomized Phase II trial which enrolled patients with both Stage IIIb and Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. It is true that in the overall trial, there was a little over a 4-month survival advantage for the Stimuvax group which wasn't statistically significant. It's also true that in the pre-stratified group of Stage IIIb patients, there was a 17-month survival advantage. That wasn't a pre-specified endpoint of the trial, but the group was stratified in advance. The randomization for that worked. You're right, it was an exploratory analysis of a Phase II trial, but there wasn't a lot of data mining required to get to that result.
X: That's what gave rise to the START trial, right?
BK: Yes, those are the data that led our partner, Merck KGaA, to initiate the START trial. It's designed to look at just patients with Stage III disease.
X: When do you expect data on that one?
BK: Merck has said all along that the trial would conclude sometime in 2011. There are two interim looks in that trial. The first of which occurs when 50 percent of the expected deaths in the trial have occurred. It's really hard to predict exactly when that's likely to occur. If the trial's going to end in 2011, a reasonable guess would be that has to happen sometime before the end of 2010. It's likely we'll get the first interim look at that trial sometime before the end of next year.
X: And in parallel, they also have a pivotal trial going on for patients with breast cancer, and for lung cancer patients in Asia, right?
BK: There are two other Phase III trials now ongoing. There is the Asian lung cancer trial that just started, called INSPIRE, and then there's a trial in breast cancer that's being given to patients with hormonally sensitive, advanced breast cancer. So it's patients with metastatic or recurrent disease that would normally be treated with hormonal therapy like tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor. They'll get the hormonal therapy, plus or minus Stimuvax. That trial started a few months ago.
X: I'd like to take a step back again. You raised a lot of money, $24 million, you've got more resources. Can you help me understand how you and the board are thinking about where … Next Page »

Echeveria harmsii "Plush Plant" - 2.5"
Pricing and availability will not be visible until you have registered for a wholesale account. This can easily be done here. Once registered, you will be able to log in and see all available products and pricing.
In cold weather, leaves blush rose-red and look like red velvet. Bright orange flowers are amongst the largest for the genus. Excellent color for holiday wreaths, rock gardens and dish gardens. In habitat, many echeverias grow on rocky outcroppings at higher altitudes. In this habitat, the water drains quickly away from the roots of the plant, never allowing the plant to remain waterlogged. For this reason, it is essential in cultivation to use a very porous soil, which will allow quick drainage. Bright light is required to prevent "stretching" of echeverias ("stretching" occurs when a moderately fast growing plant such as an Echeveria, is grown in dim light or over-fertilized, which causes overly lush growth that contributes to weak, pallid plants).
Recommended pairings: Coming soon
Bloom time: Winter to Spring
Size: Up to 8 inches wide and 3 inches high
Porous soil with excellent drainage
Provide full to part sun with ample airflow
Water thoroughly when soil is completely dry to the touch
Hardiness: USDA Zone 10a (30-35° F)
Protect from frost
Part of what makes succulents so fascinating are the myriad ways they express themselves throughout the year, depending on light, season, temperature, soil, and hydration. For those and other reasons, the plants you receive may not look exactly as they appear on our website.

Just as overload will stimulate improvements, failure to use your fitness (i.e. under-load) will lead to declines in fitness.
Deconditioning begins after a few weeks of inactivity. The good news is that fitness gains can be maintained with less exercise than it took to get them.
In most cases, if intensity is maintained, the number of workouts per week can be decreased. Modest fitness gains may be maintained by staying active through sports and leisure activities.

Timpanogos Cave
Near the entrance to the cave, run your hand over tiny fossilized shells and coral embedded in the smooth Deseret limestone cliff. It's hard to imagine that at 6,730 feet above sea level, you're standing on an ancient shoreline. In the middle of Utah.
Get ready to enter a mountain fault in the heart of Timpanogos. This Utah National Monument includes three linked and spectacularly decorated caverns. The Timpanogos cave tour includes unique colors and formations that is sure to amaze. Helictites, stalactites, stalagmites and calcite crusts, draperies and frostwork are just a few of the many dazzling formations found in the chambers of one of the most popular caves in Utah. It's also the first National Park Service unit to be certified as an Urban Night Sky Place by the International Dark-Sky Association.
Exploring Up and Down Mount Timpanogos
Get a reservation to ensure your spot in line for the tour at this popular cave in Utah. The only access to the cave system is by walking a strenuous 1.5-mile paved trail, which rises 1,092 ft to an elevation of 6,730 feet above sea level. Wear appropriate footwear and carry water, especially in summer. The park recommends at least one liter of water per person as temperatures reach over 100 degrees F on the cave trail in the summer. The inside of the cave is a cool 45 degrees. A light jacket is also recommended for this outdoor adventure.
The cave is open May-October and admission is free. Guided tour tickets range in cost from $8.00 - $4.00 per person and may be purchased up to 30 days in advance. Admission for infants 2 and under is free, but a ticket is still required.
The visitor center and trailhead are in American Fork Canyon, accessed east of I-15 on state Route 92. From I-15, take Exit 284 (Alpine-Highland), turn east towards the mountains on state Route 92 and proceed ten miles to the monument. By summer, when conditions permit, S.R. 92, the Alpine Loop, re-opens and passes Sundance Mountain Resort before completing the circle around Mount Timpanogos and connecting with U.S. 189 in Provo Canyon.

Riverside, CA
A new policy brief by the nonprofit Center for American Progress proposed that if the federal government expanded the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for workers without dependent children it would generate an additional $1.7 billion to $3.3 billion in societal benefit each year from reduced crime and improved public safety.
The policy brief came on the heels of a recent report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers that showed how raising the federal minimum wage would significantly reduce criminal activity and enhance public safety, saving American communities billions of dollars each year.
According to the Center for American Progress (CAP), not only are the minimum wage and the EITC highly complementary policies—they both receive relatively strong bi-partisan support. CAP also stressed if a minimum wage increase was paired with an expansion of EITC it could result in annual public safety benefits of $10 billion to $20 billion to American communities—particularly those communities most affected by mass incarceration and over-criminalization. In addition, it would also give a tremendous boost to struggling workers and their families.
CAP's assessment of the potential economic impact of an expanded EITC for workers without dependent children has a pre-existing base of support. Wisconsin Representative and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and President Barack Obama have both called for expanding the EITC for low-paid workers without qualifying dependent children. These workers are the only group taxed further into poverty by the U.S. federal tax code, according to CAP. Also, since individuals who have criminal records are more likely to work in low-wage jobs and many support noncustodial children, expanding the EITC would not only have a positive impact on the lives of these individuals but on their children as well.

The Uruguay star, 27, plans to hold talks with PSG in the coming days to try and force a move, according to Sport Italia.
Cavani signed a five-year contract with mega-bucks PSG last summer and helped them win the Ligue 1 title.
However, he now wants out and has told his agent to find him a Premier League club.
Cavani joined for £50m from Palermo and United will have to pay a similar fee to take him to Old Trafford.
Louis Van Gaal has pledged to take a close look at his current squad before bringing in more new signings.
However, it's understood Wayne Rooney still has to convince Van Gaal he is willing to adapt to his system.
Van Gaal wants to use Robin van Persie as his main striker and is keen for Rooney to slot in elsewhere in his side.
Chief executive Ed Woodward has hinted more arrivals are in the pipeline and said: "There is no fixed budget. Financially we are extremely strong, we have funds available.
"Louis is the boss and is assessing what's going on but we have been in dialogue for some time about targets so there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes.
"We're continuing to move forward on some of those targets, so watch this space."

In a previous post, we explored some of the common Bankers Workers' Compensation Insurance claims that banking professionals face as a result of sitting in a chair for prolonged periods of time. Sitting for 8-10 hours per day has negative health effects on the body and can lead to extensive musculoskeletal issues, including back, wrist, and neck injuries. In this article, we're going to go over some of the ways in which you can prevent these injuries from occurring in the workplace. Not only will this reduce the frequency and severity of claims, but your employees will be healthier and happier.
Get up.
Granted, bankers have a lot on their plate and have to tend to their customers, but whenever possible, get out of your seat and walk around. This could just be around the lobby or for a quick stroll outside. You can set timers on your screens to remind you to keep moving on your downtime. It doesn't need to be an unrealistic goal, just enough walking to get the blood moving.
This next suggestion will sound a bit odd, but another way to help offset the negatives of sitting is by fidgeting. Yes, fidgeting. Jiggling your legs, pacing while you're on a call, getting up and circling your desk while thinking through a problem – all of these behaviors help over time.
Switch to a standing desk.
This is much more difficult to pull off, but a standing desk prevents you from being sedentary throughout the work day. It's all too common for workers in any profession to spend countless hours sitting down and staring at a screen, so these simple, yet mindful, considerations can help to prevent the musculoskeletal issues that are all too abundant.

I had a post scheduled today that I have shifted to tomorrow as I wanted to say something about Wednesday's terror attack in London.
When the images flashed into the TV screen, minutes after it happened, my initial reaction was "I was just there a month ago!" I was in London on business and while there had a private tour of Parliament. I have a couple of half-finished posts on that visit I plan to roll out in the next month or so.
My mind then flashed back to October 2014, t the day a terrorist attacked Canada's Parliament buildings. I remember that event very well as I was locked inside for 10 hours, waiting for the all-clear.
As soon as I heard the news, I sent an email to the staffer who showed me around Westminster last month. No reply, but news reports said those in the building had been grouped into a central location while police secured the area. I presume he didn't have access.
Being in a lockdown is not a fun experience. It is the not knowing that wears on you. Staff at Westminster were locked in the building, as we had been, probably just as unaware of what was going on outside, and wondering of this was something small or a major attack. Thankfully, in both instances, loss of life was minimal. As I write this the death toll in London stands at four, with another twenty injured. Too many, but not on the scale of September 11, 2001.
Police labelled it a terrorist attack after only a couple of hours. On the face of it, it looked that way, but as the days pass, and we get a fuller picture of just what happened, that assessment might change. In the immediate aftermath you just don't know.
Watching on television it looked to me like Britain's police and security forces were better prepared than Canada's had been three years ago. Mind you, they've had more opportunity to practice having had to deal with the IRA threat for years. Still, once the area was cordoned off, there was I am sure a lot of uncertainty as to when it would be safe. Just because something looks safe doesn't mean it is. You always wonder if there are more people involved than you have identified already.
We live in uncertain times. Those of us who work in government know about the risks involved in our work, but you cannot live in fear. You go about your day to day activities expecting them to be normal. When the exceptional does happen, you deal with it. Dull and boring is what you hope for – you don't want to wind up on the TV news.
Today I'm sharing a few pictures from my day at Westminster, just an ordinary February day. Quite like yesterday when you think about it. You just never know how the day will end.
Since posting this I have heard from my friend, who describes himself as "safe but shook up that an attack could happen so close to our office." I know how he feels.

Mohamed Sanu spent the bulk of his first spring camp at Rutgers playing the safety position. So, considering his play-making exploits as both a wide receiver and wildcat engineer, it's only natural to wonder how good of a safety he would've been had he remained on the other side of the ball.
Or, more specifically, how many interceptions would the Big East's receptions leader have if he roamed the defensive backfield?
"Not as many," Sanu said, "as Duron Harmon."
With five interceptions, the Scarlet Knights junior safety ranks second in the Big East in that category this fall. In his first season starting, Harmon has been one of the keys for a Scarlet Knights unit that ranks first in the Big East in pass defense with just 185.9 pass yards allowed per game.
"It's technique, being in the right spot at the right time and swarming to the ball," Harmon said, explaining the reason for his team-leading interceptions total. "Coach (Greg) Schiano) talks about when you swarm you create your own luck and that's what has been happening to me lately. So I'll take them."
Harmon, who is considered the fastest defender in Rutgers' secondary, has possessed the physical gifts to compete for playing time since he arrived in 2009 from Caesar Rodney High in Delaware. It's why Harmon appeared in all but one game over his first two seasons, contributing in Rutgers' sub-defensive units.
But, according to Harmon, it's been an improved mental approach that's allowed him to make one of Rutgers' key preseason questions a non-issue this fall.

Understand – Honor – Network
Social media has become a part of our daily lives and revolutionized political communication. If used strategically, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and other digital applications are potent tools of empowerment. This is much the case also in South Asia, which is in the midst of digital transformation.
To identify, understand and honor the best social media initiatives with a positive social and political impact, our partners at the Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF) have created the Social Media for Empowerment Awards. For the second year in a row, the Regional Office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) has actively supported the program.
"The Social Media Awards provide a one of its kind platform for the exchange of best practice and synergies in South Asia", writes Regional Director Dr. Ronald Meinardus in his welcome remarks to the delegates who assembled for the ceremony in New Delhi in late April.
Earlier a jury of well-known media experts had assessed the 162 entries from the various countries of the region and selected the 16 winners. As in earlier years, the nominations came from India, but social media activists from Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Maldives had also sent in projects.
The joyful mood at the award ceremony subsided as the facilitator announced the Pakistani winners and – for the well-known reasons of visa-problems – nobody appeared on stage to pick up the trophy.
The Social Media for Empowerment Awards honors outstanding digital projects in eight categories: among them citizens media and journalism, advocacy and development activism, crowd sourcing and crowd economy and women empowerment, to mention only these four.
Empowerment and Enlightenment
For the winners and their teams, the one-day event presented a welcome platform to interact with like-minded individuals and organizations. Thematic round table discussions offered opportunities to exchange experiences on a personal level. In many cases, it was the first chance for the digital activists to meet people in person who they had before only known online.
That social media also has a darker side became evident in a high caliber panel at the beginning of the day. Indian media executives discussed the role of social media in fanning polarization.
"We are what we are, social media is a mirror of society", said Arvind Gupta, the co-founder of the Digital India Foundation.
Uniting the awardees is the conviction that social media is a force of social empowerment and political enlightenment.
"Social media adds to the democratic nature of the nation and strengthens it", says DEF's Founder Osama Manzar.
The highlights of the event are Storified here.

2017 Speedo Junior National Championships
- August 8 – 12, 2017
- East Meadow, NY (Long Island)
- Meet Central
- Meet info
- Psych sheet
- Prelims Timeline
- Live results
- Day 3 prelims heat sheet
There are only three scratches out of the circle-seeded heats on Thursday, August 10, Day 3 of the 2017 Speedo Junior National Championships, but all three are high-profile names. Dakota Luther of Austin Swim Club dropped the 400 free, where she was seeded eighth, to focus on the 100 fly. There she is the top seed with 59.79, but two other butterflyers come in with sub-1:00 times, Coleen Gillilan of Fort Collins Area Swim Team, and Isabel Ivey of Gator Swim Club. Luther, the top seed in the women's 200 fly, was run down over the final 10-15 meters of Tuesday's final and will hope to avoid that situation on Thursday.
We haven't seen Aquazot Swim Club's Eva Merrell all week, so her scratching out of the 100 fly, where she is seeded #1, isn't a surprise. Andrei Minakov of Terrapins Swim Team, who is seeded #2 in the men's 100 fly, does not appear on the heat sheets for Thursday.
Here are all the scratches out of the circle-seeded heats (top 24 of the 100 fly, top 16 of the 400 free) for tomorrow morning's events:
Girls 400 Free
- #8 Dakota Luther, Austin Swim Club
Boys 400 Free
- None
Girls 100 Fly
- #1 Eva Merrell, Aquazot Swim Club

Emergency Law Protects Maine Gun Permit Holders Privacy
In response to the request by the Bangor Daily News to numerous police agencies for the names and addresses of all Maine residents with a permit to carry a firearm the Maine legislature voted 129-11 to protect the privacy of gun permit holders with an emergency law. This soundly puts the Banger Daily News on notice that their ill thought out request back-fired on them. The measure protects the privacy of the gun permit holders for at least until April 30, 2013 which gives the Maine legislature time to draft a more permanent solution to gun permit holders privacy rights. Many critics say releasing the information to the public will jeopardize the safety of domestic violence victims, police officers, judges, and others. In addition, it will help criminals to target those homes where gun carry permits are not listed. Read more in "New Maine law makes gun-permit data private", Portland Press Herald, February 19, 2013.

It's the most wonderful timeeeee of the year! 🎶 That's right, Christmas beauty is out & it is beautiful, my friends! I got my hands on the Smashbox Holidaze Collection, and I am so excited to share it with all of you. This year, Smashbox teamed up with Cali-based artist Jen Stark to create "hypnotic-themed" gift sets, and the packaging is bright & wow-worthy!
I'm going to start off with my favourite part of the Smashbox Holidaze Collection, the Contour & Spotlight Highlighting Palette ($49/Cdn). First of all, this palette is MASSIVE! It features 9 full size pans – 6 highlighters and 3 mattes to contour, bronze and set under eyes. I have really been enjoying the matte undereye powder, it's the perfect light yellow shade for my concealer, and the bronzer is a really great shade all year long for me. The only problem? I am having trouble picking a highlight every morning when I get ready!! There's too many to choose from. Lastly, the packaging on this is where you can really take note of Jen's art, it's stunning!
Next up is the Be Legendary Liquid Lip Ornament! It's a beautiful, bright Christmas red with a hint of metallic & a high-gloss shine. This lip is so comfortable to wear, lasts long & I'm seriously obsessed with the colour! It's exclusive to Shoppers Drugmart and retails for $28/Cdn.
I'm a diehard liquid liner fan, so when this Always On Liner Set ($49/Cdn) arrived, I wanted to see if my mind could be changed! This set contains 4 pencil liners (black, brown, champagne and purple), and Smashbox's signature Always On Gel Liner. I've tried the Gel Liner before, and mine dried out by accident (oops!), so was excited to replenish. These liners are really great. I particularly like them when I'm feeling a little lazy to do a liquid liner wing, but still want to define my eye. The black is my favourite, followed by the brown, but I think the purple goes great with green eyes & everyone loves a sparkly champagne, so I know I'll get good use out of all of them! This set is exclusive to Shoppers Drugmart.
Lastly, the Photo Finish Travel Primer Trio ($28/Cdn) is a dream come true for your makeup bag! I have been obsessing over the Photo Finish Primerizer, it's my favourite primer, so a mini is wonderful for travel! The Original Photo Finish Smooth + Blur Primer is a classic. I love the Primer Water too, so I'm happy to have for travel. Plus the packaging on all three is 😍!
All in all, the Smashbox Holidaze Collection is FAB! I love love love the packaging and I am obsessed with the liquid lip & the contour and highlight palette! I think there is a great variety of new products with a mix of classic Smashbox products; there's something for everyone! Would you pick up any pieces of this collection?
Thank you to Smashbox for sending me this awesome collection!

Wildlife Wonders
About Wildlife Wonders
Wildlife Wonders is a unique ecotourism experience and social enterprise which will offer visitors to the Great Ocean Road unsurpassed opportunities to observe and photograph the iconic animals of the area in a natural, predator-free setting.
Based on a spectacular 20 Ha property just west of Apollo Bay, the attraction will be the first of its kind on the Great Ocean Road. It's expected to create at least 30 permanent jobs, and the profits will be reinvested into the Conservation Ecology Centre's research and conservation activities in the Otways.
Accompanied by a qualified conservationist guide, visitors will be able to see koalas doze in the treetops, potoroos and bandicoots forage on the ferny forest floors and kangaroos hop along the horizon against a spectacular ocean vista.
The experience will be designed and created by Brian Massey, who was the Greens Master for 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, Art Director of 'The Hobbit' and landscape designer of the highly successful 'Hobbiton' in New Zealand. In addition to the walking path, the project includes a themed 'field-research base'; visitor arrivals building; and a café and retail outlet showcasing local products.
All profits from Wildlife Wonders will go directly into conservation, supporting the award-winning Conservation Ecology Centre's critical ecological research and conservation activities. Every dollar invested in Wildlife Wonders will help ensure this beautiful landscape, and its wildlife, persist into the future.
Please see our update regarding the impact of COVID-19.

What's a Carbon Credit?
'Carbon credits' are traded in carbon markets in the global effort to reduce world pollution.The principles that underpin carbon credits are enshrined in the Kyoto Protocol.
Each carbon credit represents 1 tonne of atmospheric carbon dioxide which has been avoided or captured. It is bought by an entity wanting to reduce its carbon footprint, and it is sold to them by an entity implementing a project somewhere else that will reduce or capture carbon dioxide emissions.
Talking about carbon involves us in a complicated mix of science, economics, politics, business and the simple desire for a cleaner world. The important thing to know is that the mandatory and voluntary buying and selling of carbon credits collectively bring about the development and use of greener technology and the creation or preservation of native forests and other natural resources.
In Forest Carbon's case we develop woodland creation schemes for carbon capture. When our partners pay for the planting of a certain area of new woodland they are in fact paying for the removal from the atmosphere of a certain number of 1-tonne units of CO2 (or in effect therefore buying a certain number of 'carbon credits'). These 'credits' are not traded further by our buyers, they are instead 'retired' (ie cancelled against the emissions the buyer was seeking to capture) and serve only to register the amount of CO2 removal a buyer has sponsored.
What sort of carbon credits does Forest Carbon sell?
There are two 'classes' of carbon credit - compliance (mandatory) or voluntary - both suited to different types of buyer. In reality though, both types can be generated from the same types of project, and what distinguishes them is the certification processes they have been through and the reason the buyer is buying them. Compliance credits are bought by companies and countries that have to buy them, because the law says they must, and voluntary credits are bought by companies that don't have to buy them, but want to because they want to make a quantifiable and audited contribution to the environment.
The carbon credits generated by UK woodlands, certified under the UK Woodland Carbon Code, are not part of any statutory Kyoto Protocol driven international trading scheme - they are generated purely for voluntary buyers to use against their own or their customers' local emissions. The Code is a widely respected standard and in reality its credits will be of as good a quality as compliance ones.

Best Long Range Headphones Under $100
There are a number of excellent budget long range headphones that combine practical features with decent range. You'll even find industry audio leaders such as Sennheiser in this category that are offering a good personal audio solution at a competitive price.
Budget headphones in recent years have seen a dramatic improvement, which goes to show that you no longer need to spend a lot of money to get modern features. We have researched the marketplace to bring you the best budget long range headphones that offer great audio and comfort.
1. Sennheiser HD 4.40
Editor's Rating: 4.8/5
The Sennheiser HD 4.40 offer 33 feet of range and comes with great NFC pairing. You'll appreciate the combination of a long battery life, solid build, comfortable fit, and trusted brand name. Take a closer peek at the features to determine if these headphones are what you're looking for.
You'll achieve a battery life of 25 hours per charge and there is a cable if you want to opt for wired connectivity. Furthermore, the well-balanced audio will remain stable over the wireless connection. The freedom of movement with these headphones is excellent, but the small downside is the bulky earcups. The oval earcup shape is popular with the Sennheiser brand due to the excellent comfort, but at the cost of some practicality.
The ear-cups have intuitive controls that enable you to adjust the volume, change tracks, and manage incoming calls via the integrated microphone. You'll be able to take and end calls on the go without the need to touch your smartphone.
The frequency range of 18 – 22,000 Hz is impressive at this price point and the total harmonic distortion is lower than 0.5%. Also, the maximum decibel level is 133, but enjoying music at this audio level should be avoided for extended periods of time to avoid ear damage.
Before adding the Sennheiser HD 4.40 to the shopping cart consider a few drawbacks that could be a deal breaker for you. Firstly, the sound is rather artificial, which will be a problem for audio purists. Also the included audio cable doesn't have a remote, which means the earcups must be used.
To summarize, the Sennheiser HD 4.40 is a great choice for those on a budget that are interested in a premium brand name. The mixture of the large oval earcups, solid wireless connection, long battery life, and decent range means you're getting a lot for the asking price.
|Tech Specs
|Weight: 6.88 ounces
|Range: 33 feet
|Battery Life: 25 Hours
|The Pros
|25 hour battery life
|Good comfort
|Reputable brand name
|The Cons
|Bulky earcups
2. Jabra Move Wireless
Editor's Rating: 4.7/5
Are you looking for budget long range headphones that have a number of practical features? Then you'll love the Jabra Move Wireless. As the name suggest they are designed for use outdoors. The budget price of just under $50 is a competitive arena, but these headphones hold their own.
They have a range of 33 feet and the battery life is 8 hours with a standby time of 12 days. Bluetooth 4.0 has been implemented here, which provides great audio reliability during the listening session. You'll rarely experience frustrating audio hiccups. However, when you have run out of battery life you can make use of the 3.5mm cable that's provided in the package.
The 40 dynamic audio drivers are surprisingly good when you consider the budget price. Furthermore, they are built to last as durability is one of the main concerns with these headphones. The Bluetooth connection quality ensures that audio that's delivered within the earcups is almost as good as what you can experience with a wired connection.
An omni-directional microphone is included that allows you to have conversation in HD quality. It's a great feature when you're on the move and want to accept calls in a hands-free manner. Therefore, you won't need to take out your smartphone every single time you want to take a call.
The lightweight nature of the headphones means they are comfortable to wear, but the earcups have an on-ear design. Therefore, noise isolation isn't great, which means audio clarity in public areas will suffer. However, if you can get over this drawback then there is a lot to like with the Jabra Move Wireless.
To summarize, the Jabra Move Wireless offers great range, a durable design, decent battery life, and portability. It's ideal for buyers that want to travel light while enjoying a personal audio solution. At this low price you'll struggle to find better long range headphones that will stand the test of time.
|Tech Specs
|Weight: 16.48 ounces
|Range: 33 feet
|Battery Life: 8 Hours
|The Pros
|8 hour battery life
|The Cons
|Lack of noise isolation
3. Bluedio U2
Editor's Rating: 4.5/5
Bluetooth 5.0 headphones are not yet mainstream, but Bluedio U2 is one of the best offerings in this category right now. They come in a number of color options, which includes black, white-silver, gold, and red. It's a well-designed headphone that comes in at a competitive price. If you're looking for practical long range headphones then the Bluedio U2 is a great choice.
The Bluetooth 5.0 implementation allows for 33m worth of range, which means you can walk around your home while having the audio emitting device in a specific room. Furthermore, Bluetooth 5.0 consumes less power than previous versions and provides more stable connections. Consequently the audio quality remains solid during the listening session.
The over-ear design of the earcups is slightly bulky, but it does provide great comfort since your entire ear can fit inside. Compared to other over-ear headphones the bulk factor here is minimal, which means they are practical for use outdoors while out and about.
A dual cloud service is included where you can access the Alibaba Cloud Computing service. The smart audio control allows you to execute a number of functions in a hands-free manner. Furthermore, the innovative 8 audio driver design packs a powerful punch that leads to high clarity levels and excellent fidelity.
However, before going ahead with the purchase you must consider a few of the potential drawbacks. Firstly, the use of materials could be improved to give a better feel in-hand. Also more flexibility could be added so that the headphones do not feel so rigid when handling them.
To summarize, the Bluedio U2 is one of the best Bluetooth 5.0 headphones in the marketplace. The combination of the smart features, solid wireless connectivity reliability, and 8 audio drivers design means there is a lot to like here.

8. Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless
Editor's Rating: 4.9/5
The Beyerdynamic is a brand that's popular for manufacturing audiophile grade headphones and the Amiron Wireless is one of those offerings. The range of 30 feet means you have plenty of room to move about away from the audio emitting device. However, they come at a steep price and you need to decide if the value that's offered here justifies the price.
The mind bowing wealth of detail can be appreciated by even the audiophiles among you. The Beyerdynamic MIY (Make It Yours) app allows you to customize the experience to your preferences. Therefore, if you love to create different sound profiles to match the music genre, then you'll enjoy the functionality of the app.
The oval earcups are large enough to fit the majority of ear sizes and come with extra padding for a very comfortable fit. The comfort is the result of many years of trial and error. Various audio professionals have chimed in to give suggestions and Beyerdynamic has taken it all on-board.
High quality materials are used that ensure longevity. Naturally you'll want to handle these expensive long range headphones with care, but they can take a beating before serious damage is inflicted.
However, there are few potential negatives that might be a deal breaker for you – it's better to be aware of them now rather than be disappointed later on. The design is rather bulky, especially the earcups – so they aren't practical for the outdoors.
To summarize, the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless is an audiophile grade headphone that offers good range and a particle app to customize the experience. However, they are on the bulky side and costly. Weigh up the pros and cons to determine if they are what you're looking for.

9. V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless Codex Edition
Editor's Rating: 4.8/5
The V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless Codex Edition has won a number of awards and is highly rated among previous buyers. V-MODA is a reputable headphone brand that consistently delivers some of the highest rated products the marketplace has to offer. However, it comes at a premium price so you'll need to take a close look at the features and figure out if what's offered is worth the asking price.
The headphones allow for 33 feet of range via the Bluetooth connection that lasts for 14 hours per charge. Furthermore, there is a quick charge feature that allows you to get 3 hours of running time for just 30 minutes of charging. This is useful when you have forgotten to charge your headphones and are on the way out. However, there is functionality to make use of wired mode when the battery has run out.
V-MODA headphones are known for their military grade durability and you won't be disappointed with the Crossfade 2. The SteelFlex headband is made from vegan leather and has an adjustable clamping force that's superior to plastic headbands. The cable can withstand over a million bends and still functions as if you've just begun using the headphones.
The over-ear fit is very comfortable due to the large memory foam cushions. They have been designed from 100+ prototypes to ensure the comfort cannot be questioned. Furthermore, the passive noise isolation is excellent and on-par with some implementations of active noise isolation. However, these features come at the expense of some bulk, which means they are a bit bigger in size than most other headphones on this list.
The 50mm dual-diaphragm audio drivers provide excellent bass that doesn't bleed into the mids and highs. Clarity cross the impressive 5 – 40,000Hz is excellent which means you can enjoy all types of music genres.

10. Sony MDR-DS6500
Editor's Rating: 4.7/5
The Sony MDR-DS6500 is specifically designed for movies and has an excellent range of 328 feet. It's highly rated in the marketplace and has a premium design that the Sony brand is known for. However, at just over $300 the investment is sizeable so you'll need to decide if the features are worth the asking price.
The signal is delivered over the 2.4Ghz band, which allows for great range but might be congested in your local area as it's the primary band used by wireless routers. The real time tuning feature automatically figures out the distance you're away from the stand and broadcasts the optimal signal for the range.
7.1 digital surround sound is implemented that creates a 3D sound experience. You'll enjoy movies in a more immersive manner that puts you right in the center of the action. Furthermore, 40 mm audio drivers are used that have a dynamic frequency range. The overall effect leads to a rich audio experience that adapts to any type of TV viewing experience.
The battery life per charge is 20 hours and the headphones can be charged by simply placing them on the included stand. The stand is a great location to store the Sony MDR-DS6500 headphones as they will not get in the way.
Headphones should be very comfortable to ensure you're able to enjoy watching the TV for hours without the need to take a break. The large/soft earcups here allow your ears to feel no pressure and the touch on the skin is pleasant. Furthermore, the underside of the headband has plenty of padding to ensure the top of your head feels no rough pressure.
To summarize, the Sony MDR-DS6500 is great for buyer's that are looking for a superb personal audio solution for watching the TV. The mixture of comfortable design, premium feel, reputable brand, and 7.1 digital surround sound means you're going to love what's offered here.

The field days I wrote about are finally scheduled! When I posted about the process before I wasn't sure how long it would take. It turned into one of those situations in which you work and work and work and think you're making no progress, but one day, without warning, you find yourself with your goal in hand! Our networking efforts produced some great results: three of the field days are co-sponsored. Sincere thanks are due to Richard Gast of Franklin County Cooperative Extension, Molly Ames of Jefferson County CCE, and Dick Winnett of the Finger Lakes Resource Conservation & Development Council. Richard and Molly are members of the Small Farms Energy Work Team.
There are four field days scheduled. See the Small Farms Program website for more information.
The current challenge is publicizing the field days. Violet realized that our press list was last updated three years ago, so she's asked me to make sure that the contacts are current and to expand the list. While working on that project, I've brainstormed some other ideas for getting the word out. My favorites: posting fliers at county fairs, asking farmers' market managers to tell their vendors, and listing the field days on the Ithaca Journal events calendar. Publicity has already gone out through the newsletters of several organizations and people are starting to sign up!

Surprise! Obamacare critics were right | Washington Examiner: "In an editorial, Investor's Business Daily declared: 'Obamacare is failing exactly the way critics said it would.' The outlet explained that Aetna had already lost $200 million thanks to Obamacare, but had expected to break even in 2016. That didn't happen, so the company will no longer expand into five additional states and is rethinking whether it will stay in the 15 states it already offers Obamacare plans.
Aetna is just the latest insurance company to deal a blow to Obamacare supporters and those who were forced to purchase plans through the exchanges. UnitedHealth Group announced in April it would leave most Obamacare exchanges, after expecting to lose $650 million from the exchanges this year."
Previously vocal supporters could not be reached for comment.
I'm reminded again of the quote I saw online: "Even if it bankrupts America, we have the moral obligation to provide everyone with health insurance". Not they didn't say health care. So yeah, if you were in favor of this (or just unquestioningly supported politicians who were), when everyone was shouting that this would happen and you closed your ears and chanted liberal slogans. Yeah— you bear some of the moral blame yourself. And you wonder why people think liberalism is a rotting corpse? "Reality-Based Community" indeed.
