By Laura Koran, CNN
Here's the Belief Blog's morning rundown of the top faith-angle stories from around the United States and around the world. Click the headlines for the full stories.
CNN: North Carolina pastor retracts sermon remarks about punching gay kids
A Fayetteville, North Carolina, pastor has retracted controversial language used during a weekend sermon in which he instructed parents to hit children who exhibited behavior associated with homosexuality.
CNN: Who is David Barton, #1 trending topic on Google?
A longtime star on the conservative Christian circuit, controversial evangelical historian David Barton is today the No. 1 trending topic on Google. The online surge comes on the heels of Barton's appearance on The Daily Show on Tuesday night. Barton argues that religion – and Christianity in particular – played a huge role in the founding and history of the United States, and that that role has been largely scrubbed from the history books by modern secular elites.

Enlightening Reads:
Religion News Service: United Methodists reject calls for divestment from Israel-related companies
United Methodists twice rejected measures on Wednesday that called for the denomination to divest from companies accused of contributing to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Neither vote was particularly close, with about two-thirds of the 1,000 delegates gathered in Tampa, Fla., through May 4 rejecting the calls for divestment.
The Christian Post: Minister Critical of Romney and 'Mormon Cult' Suggests Third-Party Options
Christian minister Bill Keller of LivePrayer.com, who has frequently spoken out on the so-called dangers of voting for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in this year's general election due to his Mormon faith, suggests that the only real option for Christian voters are third-party candidates. Keller recently compared the choice of voting for Mitt Romney or for President Barack Obama as "flipping a coin where Satan is on both sides."
BBC: Forced marriage campaign targets mosques in Scotland
A Muslim scholar has launched a groundbreaking campaign against forced marriage in Scotland. Shaykh Amer Jamil says the practice has no place in Islam. During the next few weeks leaflets and sermons are being given in mosques as part of an initiative to educate the community. "In the Muslim community there's a misconception amongst some people that religion allows this, that parents have an Islamic right to choose partner of their children, and that they don't have a choice in this," says the Glasgow-based Imam.
Religion News Service: Soldiers' Bibles exhibit a walk through American history
The Museum of Biblical Art's exhibition, "Finding Comfort in Difficult Times: A Selection of Soldiers' Bibles," is American religious history come alive. The exhibit showcases three dozen copies of Scriptures published for members of the U.S. Armed Forces from the Civil War onward, from leather-bound, 19th-century copies to contemporary Bibles clothed in camouflage.
Excerpt of the Day:
Prayer has always been a part of the American story, and today countless Americans rely on prayer for comfort, direction, and strength, praying not only for themselves, but for their communities, their country, and the world. […] Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 3, 2012, as a National Day of Prayer. I invite all citizens of our Nation, as their own faith directs them, to join me in giving thanks for the many blessings we enjoy, and I call upon individuals of all faiths to pray for guidance, grace, and protection for our great Nation as we address the challenges of our time.
President Barack Obama, in a signed proclamation marking the National Day of Prayer.
CNN: House candidate and rising GOP star is black, female – and Mormon
To call Mia Love a minority is an understatement. She's a black woman who won an upset primary race to become the Republican candidate in Utah's 4th Congressional District. If elected, she'd be the first black Republican congresswoman in the House of Representatives. Love, who has attracted lots of national Republican support, also stands out because of her religion: She's a Mormon.

You are a proven liar over and over again. Prayer doesn't not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.
An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn't work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs!`~

this "Bill Keller" guy sez "good" christians best vote neither Obama nor Romney and that a vote for either is a vote for satan...people like this guy put on a sanctamonious face of agreeably dissagreeing but i believe he'd just as soon shovel 'em into the gas chamber as have any one who deviates from his mindset on his world. these haters are apostate and his ilk will unchecked give rise to the antichrist. "Atheism is unhealthy"... and "?jesus" make nice before someone gets a headache.

Jesus...ever hear of the 'placebo affect'? Self-fulfilling prophecy? Thes ehtings do have an affect- they can have a very large affect. So, what is the difference between 'prayer' and 'believeing' in a sugar pill or believing a certain action will occur when there is not reason for them to? Prayer works when one asks and then one deeply believes in the outcome enough to elicit the change themselves. Certainly, praying for God to heal my sick child and doing nothibng further will probably not happen- but then if it did, what would we call it? But prayer in which one seeks Gods advise as to how to heal that child and then takes actions to do the healing would in fact be an answer to that prayer. We humans like to so limit our viewpoit of life that we seek knowledge by not understanding the totality of the envronment within which the event takes place. It is like looking at a Caraggio and questioning one brush stroke in order to understand the entire master piece. We can find where that brush stroke is worthless all by itself but take it away and the entire image may fall apart. This behavior we have only states the limitiations we have to undderstand the world at large and so we deconstruct it and reduce it forgetting that nothing exists outside of its relationship with all that surrounds it and we call this knowledge.
Minister Peter
While the noise what to pray, who should pray, and how is buzzing around. For the followers of Jesus, 2 Chronicles 7:14 provides guidance to the heart of humility to which the Lord will answer. Prayer is not parroting a bunch of words for the sake of being religious. Prayer is the cry of the heart for salvation of souls. The question is not the how, why, or selected set of words of piety. The real question is: If you life was to end today and you were standing before the Lord of the Universe, would your eternal soul be ready? Would he say, "Well done thy good and faithful servant OR depart from me your doer of iniquity - I never knew you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAtD_-YKKe8&feature=plcp
Why would god say anything at all to nonbelievers except, "Isn't it a good thing I forgave you"? It seems to me that if a god wanted all of humanity to worship him he'd just make himself as obvious as gravity, math, or chemistry–all believers USE those facts because they work, but they believe in disparate gods because none work better than any other god..
But if you believe in a "good" god who's going to torture most of the people he created by forcing them to live forever in a pit of torment and fire, then you have no sense of morality or justice and you can tell THAT god to shove it up his azz.
You were told what was wrong and what was right and you decided to go against it anyhow. I dont see how you think being punished for something you were told not to do is immoral. God is holy and cannot stand sin, it was satan who rebelled and said I will be my own god, and do what i please. Also Grace is not an excuse to sin.
@JM
Yes, I've been told by other PEOPLE, but unfortunately never the god himself.. If the god of my upbringing can't prove himself any better than any other gods of other people's upbringing, then he doesn't deserve any special treatment.. The point is, if god wanted to forgive people, he can just do it; to make it contingent upon us believing in a bunch of stupid fairy tales that can't be proved at all–just like the god of the fairy tale–is incredibly stupid of him.. That god would even consider making such a place makes him unsuitable as consideration for "god" of anything.
hippypoet
those of whom can not prove the existence of god or any god type creature believes purely on the idea of its existence...the notion of what the idea stands for is great – a supreme being with infinite knowledge and power who is behind it (life) all....truly a fantastic idea indeed.... a grand idea based on superst.ition from an age of ignorance....why is such an improvable idea held with such belief as if it is true?
Bleah
Because brainwashing you idiot.
The answer to your question is faith. It starts with an interest in God, which requires a little bit of faith or belief. As more is learned the faith grows. When the word of God is heard preached in the power of the Holy Spirit the faith can reached a point where the person feels drawn to God. Conversion or salvation occurs and the faith increases exponentially. Prayers are answered, more is learned, and faith continues to grow. How could someone not hold belief of such an idea of the truth?
Because it doesn't work like that, Robert, unless you continually apply your own bias in an effort to rationalize WHY you continue in a faith that has no real power.. If it did work like that, nobody would be any other religion.. Because your rationalization for your faith is exactly the same type as the Muslims and Hindus use, no god belief ever comes out on top–it's the belief that carries the placebo effect, not the specific religion or god.. That's why all believers say pretty much exactly what you just said.

I'm staging a National Day of Irreverence. My goal today is to break every one of the ten commandments in Exodus 20. For those of you who don't know what the ten commandments are (xtians mostly) go look them up. I AM NOT suggesting that anyone go out and break the law but using the infamous "Way of the Master" version. Lust after a woman to commit adultery in your heart, covet things instead of stealing, and hate (someone who cuts you off in traffic or a minister who says that you should beat your kids if they are gay) instead of murder.
Enjoy your National Day of Irreverence and pass this on to as many people as you can.

Jim, carnal is as carnal does.
If you keep going this way, you'll always remain spiritually clueless.
God's Oldest Dreamer
Did not Jesus himself abolish the commandments? Does not Ephesians 2:15 declare the commandments becoming null and void?
Ephesians 2:15, "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;"
OK then. If there are no commandments that we have to follow then there are no sins so then your magical Palestinian zombie died for nothing.
Do we of the church'd charities here in the U.S.A. have enough donations to feed all the starving children in Africa? Do we here in the U.S.A have enough of charities donations to keep all the children in the Asian countries from being bound to fleshened slavery conditions? Just exactly how can one or any nation/homeland cure the ills of the world if their own homeland is in much need of neing repaired? A house that cannot stand on its' own merit, cannot ruly ever get another nation's homeland to stand upon its' own weightiness of their own malignancies of social disfigurements!
Mike Blackadder responded to my prior post on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 10:19 pm, declaring, "What an absurd response. Don't feed starving children Africa, you haven't yet obtained my approval."
Alone and decrepid is,- are many nations' malignancies of social disfigurementations. Can any nation who has yet to cleanse their own homeland's malignant social disfigurations be of any real worths to afford to otherly nations upon just tokens of not much weighted worthiness' considerations? The Faiths of a nation, their homeland's ever abundant measurings of devoted charities should not be their cup's being less than half-filled charities upon another nation's social disfiguements until such a faith-based nation's disfigurements in social malignancies be first arrested and made woefully whole. It makes no sense to spread one's national charities in the Faiths concernments of all nationally gathered charities to try and make but token accolades toward other nations' infirmaties with no real saving graces for such otherly nations to be cured!

For a while I wasn't sure, but I suspect more and more that your postings are some form of parody?
The "style" is similar to other posters with different names, all of which seem to have an underlying psychosis to them.
So based on that assumption, I want to offer one criticism.
Parody implies an underlying humor, and perhaps your psychosis permits you to see humor others can't, but the rest of us don't seem to get it?
The trick to writing this badly is to take a passage from the Bible, then translate it into Finnish using Google Translator. Then traslate it from Finnish to Swahili, then from Swahili to Mandarin, then into Navajo, and finally back into English. Then post it here and pretentiously think it is something really amazing.
The real trick is to actually think it is good. That's what really makes it crap.
Some people will add to other's edifications to pilfer the audascious; foresaking the coetous angularisms only one has the balls to not foreskae other's nameplate!
Matthew 5:17 "Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.
in ephesians 2:15, it says he ended "the system of the law"....... not the law, the system.
lunchbreaker
I would be willing to bet that if an openly athiest person made this same argument, Christians would claim said athiest was misinterpreting the scripture.
To clarify,
The system of redemption of OT: sacrificing animals for the remission of sin.
NT: Jesus made anew the system of redemption by becoming the sacrifice for eternity.
religion; a way to control the weak minded
doesn't matter...those are merely words of a bunch of men over a long period of time who then edited the book to fit their own personal agenda of controlling weak minded people with fear mongering and promises of eternal life. Those are NOT words of a god....those are words of fallible human beings.
lunchbreaker,
unfortunately its true in some cases.
I have to admit, most of you really know your stuff.
I do have to wonder the point of the post though. It seems strange to simply state Jesus abolished the commandents without it being in reference to something else. I would imagine that it would be a good rebutlle to the whole Roy Moore thing.
Not that I would in any way support the LGBT community, but neither will I support a minister [Harris] who talks as this man. It is not kind, loving, or graceful. He talks more like a tyrant than a Christian. Not only should he apologize for his remarks, he should apologize for calling himself a Christian abd a minister of the gospel. I think I would have gotten up and walked out of his congregation. The Bible also condemns adultery, but consider Jesus' reaction toward the adulteress. (John 8:1—11
1 Corinthians 3:9 says all that is needed to be said of God and our bodies' laments!
Why not support the LGBT community?. Is the LGBT community a threat to your world view?
@ momoya: Yes and no. I do not approve of their life style, it is condemned by God, but that does not mean that I should go about chastising them. I do not know how much LGBT is involve in promoting that their life style be taught as a norm in public schools, but it is entirely unnecessary and I think can cause little kids to be very confused. Life is confusing enough. BTW, I don't think that $&x ed in schools is necessary either, or at least the kind that I witnessed when my kids were in school. I didn't get it when I was in school and I had no problems. We did get all that was necessary in biology i.e. the anatomy, function and reproduction system of the human male and female. But, no how-to-do-it's. And another BTW, how do you explain to a little kid that some other schoolmate has two mommies or two daddies when they have one mommie and one daddy? I'm going to be gone the rest of the morning, but I'll check in later.
@bo
I don't understand how ho.mos3xuality is any more confusing for children than hetero.. It's part of everyone's biology.. Everybody has "one" and everybody figures out what it does at some point.. Unless the person is too stupid to breathe, they recognize that it's a body part like any other and that doctors and lovers need not be of a certain gender to examine or play with it..
Because it's a part of our body and it requires special care not given to other body parts, it is necessary that we teach such biological functions in school (why teach about the entire body except for that one part?!?!?!!!?).. Also, some kids don't get educated about that at home and knowledge is power.. The more knowledge a person has about what their body does, the more responsibly they can use their body..
I don't think that kids need any explanation about why a friend has two mommies or two daddies.. At least not any more of an explanation than when kids see their first prosthetic limb or bodily deformity or something like that.. It's a part of life.. How do you explain to a kid what happened when they lose a family member or a pet or a friend?? You deal with it because life doesn't care how easy things are to explain–it happens anyway.. If god made the universe in such a way that kids could never know about death or disease or deformity until a certain age, then maybe you could use an argument like that, but not the way things are.
I support the GLBTQ community because I don't think it's fair that I get to be married to the person/gender of my choice (my hubby), but they can't get married to the person of their choice.. Their behavior isn't harmful or destructive and the adults are consenting.. I don't see why I should be allowed to do something that they can't–especially when there's so many sc.re.wed up marriages and hetero homes where children are abused.

Obviously, it doesn't because we know that so many of the right-wing had prayed that Obama didn't return from his trip.
-Prayer doesn't not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son.

Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs!-
God answers all prayers. It's man's perceptions that block the comprehension of His marvel.

26.2 Nantucket Genre—Outdoors
In June 1869 Johnson married Elizabeth Buckley of Troy, New York, and the following summer he and his wife and their baby, Ethel, went to Nantucket, Massachusetts for the season. Johnson responded enthusiastically to Nantucket, which seemed to be filled with characters and activities that appealed to him, and the couple returned to the island each summer. Beside painting genre scenes of men, women, and children both indoors and outside, Johnson launched a major theme—the cranberry harvest—a time in the fall when the whole community turned out to pick the wild cranberries ripening in the bogs of Nantucket. Johnson made at least eighteen studies before crafting his major painting, The Cranberry Harvest, which was exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1880. —PH

1907 Estate Sale
No. 55: "An old gardener, sickle in hand, stands half in shadow, half in sunlight, partly concealed under a low grape arbor near a short flight of rustic stone steps, apparently playing the well-known game of hide and seek with a little girl, who stands in the opening at the top of the steps, half afraid to discover her playmate. In the left foreground, among overhanging vines, stands a water barrel with a tin dipper, and above it is an old-fashioned wooden pump with an iron handle. On the right the roof and chimneys of a country house rise above the vines and tree tops, and beyond the little girl, seen between the bars of the fence and through the opening, is a range of hills under a sky filled with sunlit clouds."

They bore the names of planets but the Jupiter and Saturn were just ordinary working schooner-barges in the business of hauling iron ore. After the late November storm of 1872 the names were marred because they sank together taking the lives of 15 sailors.
The tragedy on Lake Superior helped bring about the construction of four new government life-saving stations on the Northern Michigan shoreline.
The Jupiter and Saturn were two of several vessels lost in the same storm, and their crews were among many sailors who drowned. That they were lost together, and that the crew of the steam barge John A. Dix, which had them in tow, lived to tell the story, helped dramatize the sinkings.
Captain Joseph Waltman, master of the Dix, said the three vessels left Marquette, Michigan, at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Dix, a retired government revenue ship, was purchased that season by E. B. Ward of Detroit for use as a tug. The two barges were each laden with about four hundred and sixteen tons of iron ore, bound for Wyandotte, Michigan.
At first there was a light breeze blowing from the southeast and Waltman said that even though it was late in November, the weather was pleasant. When a light head wind developed that night, Captain Peter Howard, master of the Jupiter, and Captain Richard Stringleman, skipper of the Saturn, reefed the barge sails because they were no longer helping the Dix. By then the sky was overcast and it had started snowing.
At about 4 a.m. the wind veered to the northwest. Waltman said he noticed the barges were both under full sail again. He said he felt that the trip was going so well, and the barges were making such good time he thought they would make Sault Ste. Marie within a few hours.
What Waltman didn't know as he entertained those thoughts, was that an ugly winter gale was bearing down on the three boats. It was coming with such speed and force that within the next 20 minutes the crews of all three vessels would be in a battle for their lives.
Waltman said the storm hit with such power it parted the tow cable to the Jupiter almost immediately. The Saturn broke away and drifted off into the gale at about 6 a.m. The storm front blasted the boats with heavy snow, high winds and fast dropping temperatures. Within a short time the thermometers were reading below zero degrees and at one point the gauges recorded temperatures at minus eighteen degrees. Layers of ice were building on the decks of the boats.
Waltman said the Dix was in such a fight for its own survival he couldn't think about turning around to save the barges. He said both vessels were provided with good sails and experienced crew members. They had pumps and lifeboats. Thus Waltman reasoned that the men in the barges were on their own.
By the time the Dix steamed to the lee side of Whitefish Point, the decks were coated with about a foot of ice. The crew used salt to help chip it away before the steamer continued on to Sault Ste. Marie.
While under the protection of the point, Waltman said everybody kept an eye out for the Jupiter and Saturn, hoping they would catch up with the Dix. But the two schooners never arrived. The steamer China later reported seeing the masts of the Saturn where it sank about three miles above Whitefish Point. The spars of the Jupiter were found twelve miles west of there. Nobody will ever know what the crews of those two vessels endured before they perished.
In the spring the bodies of two sailors were found on the beach. It was evident that they reached shore and crawled a few hundred feet out of the weather before freezing to death. The area was uninhabited and the men had no chance of finding shelter.
The Dix didn't reach Sault Ste. Marie until the following spring. The ship was one of a fleet of steamers and barges caught in the offshore ice that week. The high winds and sub-zero temperatures brought an abrupt end to the shipping season and caught many vessels still out of port.


How You Can Help Prevent Animal Cruelty!
The list I posted below is from the ASPCA website found at http://aspca.org. They have many ways you can help the animals of this world. 1. Be aware. Without phone calls from the concerned citizens who report cruelty in their neighborhoods, we wouldn't know about most instances of animal abuse. It all comes from the public, it all starts with YOU—that's why it's so important to keep your eyes and ears open. Get to know and look out for the animals in your neighborhood. By being aware, you're more likely to notice, for example, that the dog next door who was once hefty has lost weight rapidly—a possible indicator of abuse. 2. Learn to recognize animal cruelty. Here are some signs and symptoms that we see in many of the cases we investigate: - Tick or flea infestations. Such a condition, if left untreated by a veterinarian, can lead to an animal's death. - Wounds on the body. - Patches of missing hair. - Extremely thin, starving animals. - Limping. - An owner striking or otherwise physically abusing an animal. - Dogs who are repeatedly left alone without food and water, often chained up in a yard. - Dogs who have been hit by cars-or are showing any of the signs listed above-and have not been taken to a veterinarian. - Dogs who are kept outside without shelter in extreme weather conditions. - Animals who cower in fear or act aggressively when approached by their owners. 3. Know who to call to report animal cruelty. We're lucky here at the ASPCA in New York City, because we have Humane Law Enforcement officers who have the power to investigate and arrest perpetrators of animal cruelty in the state of New York. But every state and even every town is different. In some areas, you may have to rely on the police department to investigate animal cruelty; in others, you may have to contact local animal control or another municipal agency. If you aren't sure where to report cruelty, you can search our online Humane Law Enforcement directory or ask your local humane organization. 4. Provide as much as information as possible when reporting animal cruelty. The details that you provide can go a long way toward assisting the investigating officer. It helps to write down the type of cruelty that you witnessed, who was involved, the date of the incident and where it took place. 5. Call or write your local law enforcement department and let them know that investigating animal cruelty should be a priority. Animal cruelty is a CRIME—and the police MUST investigate these crimes. 6. Know your state's animal cruelty laws. These vary from state to state, and even from city to city. You can visit the ASPCA's online database of more than 550 animal cruelty laws—and their penalties—in all 50 states. 7. Fight for the passage of strong anti-cruelty laws on federal, state and local levels by joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade. It's frustrating when I have built a strong case against someone who has been arrested for cruelty to animals and the judge treats it like a simple violation. But with stronger laws, they'll be more likely to receive tougher penalties. As an ASPCA Advocacy Brigade member, you'll receive emails asking you to write letters encouraging your legislators to pass these laws-and you can send them directly from our website. 8. Set a good example for others. If you have pets, be sure to always show them the love and good care that they deserve. But it's more than just food, water, and adequate shelter. If you think your animal is sick, bring him to the veterinarian. Be responsible and have your animals spayed or neutered. And I always give my own pets lots of hugs when I get home! 9. Talk to your kids about how to treat animals with kindness and respect. I regularly see children in homes where animal abuse has been reported. If a parent isn't treating the family's pets right, I tell kids that their dog or cat would really appreciate fresh water every day, or if they spent some time playing with them. If the animal has been left outside without shelter, I'll say, 'You have a nice house, and if you get cold, you can put a coat on. But your dog can't do that. Don't you think he'd like a nice warm place to go, too?' I know of families who watch Animal Precinct together, and I think this can help children understand that animals are living creatures who have the ability to feel pain, joy and sadness. You can see these emotions on the faces of the animals on the show. 10. Support your local shelter or animal rescue organization. Before I even knew that police for animals existed, I was volunteering at an animal shelter. It's a great way to make a difference. Some of our ASPCA volunteers foster animals who have been abused in their former homes, giving these dogs and cats the chance they deserve to have a good life. You can find a list of shelters and rescue groups in your area in our National Shelter Directory.

Why I Give: W.L. Magnuson, Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry
Ph.D., University of Kansas, inorganic chemistry
B.S., McMurry University, Abilene, Texas, chemistry and mathematics
Wife Kirsten is an Owensboro physician assistant and principal clarinetist with the Owensboro Symphony Orchestra.
Daughter Barbara Magnuson-Woodward earned a doctorate of pharmacy at the University of Kentucky after attending Wesleyan from 1984 – 1986 in pre-pharmacy. She serves as the coordinator and clinical pharmacist with a multidisciplinary nutrition support service at the University of Kentucky Medical Center and is an associate professor at the UK College of Pharmacy.
Son Justin will graduate from Vanderbilt University in May with a B.S. in chemistry. He has been accepted to two medical schools.
Dr. Magnuson is in his 48th year as a Wesleyan professor. Prior to his 1969 arrival in Owensboro, he was an assistant professor at McMurry for six years.
"It's simple. I got a chemistry scholarship as an undergraduate, and I was so appreciative. That's why I give."
You grew up in Texas and returned to Texas to teach after earning your doctorate. How did you wind up at Wesleyan?
"I came here, along with Drs. Bob Darrell (English), John Combs (English) and Jim Thomas (mathematics), at the invitation of Dr. Howard Ramsey, who was the academic dean. We had all worked with him at McMurry, and he arrived at Wesleyan a year or two before we did. We drove up here from Abilene in the middle of Hurricane Camille, so it was a memorable drive to Kentucky with our young families.
What were your early impressions of Wesleyan?
"I saw a lot of potential in the sciences. There were very few chemistry majors in those days. I thought we could build the program, and I liked the challenge. My office was on the second floor of the Administration Building, and we had two classrooms and three labs on the same floor."
Dr. Magnuson in the early 70s.
Why did you choose to teach?
"I had no plans to become a teacher when I was working on my Ph.D. In my last year there, I had several interviews for industrial positions, and none of them were appealing. A former professor and mentor at McMurry, Dr. W. Norton Jones, asked me to return to my alma mater to teach, and that is how it happened. I've loved being in the classroom ever since.
Teaching means everything to me. I get to promote the area of study I love and for which I have a great passion. I love to see my students' progress while they are here and after they graduate. I have great pride in them, and it is very gratifying to see them do well."
What are your best memories of Wesleyan?
"My relationships with my students. It means a lot that they stay in touch. I enjoy the letters, emails, Christmas cards and wedding invitations.
My friendships with John Combs and the late Jim Thomas. They became like brothers to me. John is probably the most dedicated teacher I've ever known. He loved teaching English. Jim was an excellent mathematician and started the computer sciences program here.
Moving into the new building (Yu Hak Hahn Center for the Sciences) in 2005. The science faculty planned the interior and worked closely with the architects. It was an exciting time, and our students helped us move.
Serving as a sponsor of the James Graham Brown Society with Dr. Henry Connor and Dr. Dan Bradshaw for many years."
What has been your greatest accomplishment at Wesleyan?
"Appointing Dr. Henry Connor and Dr. Bob Flachskam."
How do you spend your leisure time?
"Flower gardening, reading (historical novels, classics and Westerns) and international travel."
As you look back to your arrival in 1969, what are the strengths of the College?
"The committed supporters who love Wesleyan and give generously, and the dedicated faculty who care about our students."
How do you view the College today?
"I am absolutely positive about where we are today and where we are going.
Our loyal donors, past and present, have made this College what it is today, and I urge others to support the College, so we can achieve even greater standing."

1⃣ Bring a large pot of water to boil and salt generously. Meanwhile, place 1/2 cup ricotta, juice and zest of 1 lemon, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and a few twists of pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine; set aside.
2⃣ Add 1 box Banza Chickpea Spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
3⃣Return the pasta to the pot over low heat. Stir in the ricotta sauce. Add 5 loosely packed cups of baby spinach and toss so that the spinach begins to wilt. Add about half of the reserved pasta water (more if necessary) to keep the sauce loose but not too watery. Continue to cook and toss until the spinach is cooked. Add the hazelnuts and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

LogicMonitor's audit logs provide insight into recent account activity, such as user logins and configuration changes made to resources in the account. Each audit log entry provides a timestamp for the event, the username associated with the event, the IP address associated with the event, and a description of the event. For example, you could use the audit logs to identify when alerting was disabled for a particular device group, or which user updated a particular resource property, and so on.
The duration of time for which audit log entries are preserved is determined by the "alert history storage" level associated with your LogicMonitor package. For a breakdown of "alert history storage" levels by package, visit the LogicMonitor pricing page.
As discussed in this support article, there are several ways in which to access and query your platform's audit logs: Audit Logs page, Audit Logs report, and LogicMonitor's REST API.
Note: When reviewing audit logs, it is common to see consecutive login events with no log out—if the user does not explicitly log out, but simply lets the session go idle, then starts using LogicMonitor again (possibly from a different computer), a new login event will be recorded.
Audit Logs Page
Accessible from Settings | Audit Logs, the Audit Logs page provides an interface from which you can view and filter audit logs.
Filtering Audit Log Entries from the Audit Logs Page
The audit log entries that display on the Audit Logs page can be filtered according to time range and user name. Audit log entries can also be searched using keywords found in the User, IP and Description columns. Single keywords are automatically wildcarded on both ends. For example, a search term of "time" could return "time", "uptime", and "timeout."
If multiple search terms are entered, they are automatically joined using the AND operator and are wildcarded at the beginning and end of the full search string (e.g. searching on "trigger alert" is the same as searching on "*trigger AND alert*"). Be sure to add additional wildcards when multiple search terms are in use if necessary. For example, if you want "trigger AND alert" to match on logs containing the keyword "trigger" or "triggers," you'll need to manually enter one more wildcard (i.e. "trigger* AND alert").
An OR or an AND NOT operator can be used instead of the default AND operator. When using either of these operators, only a single keyword can be on either side of the operator. For example, searching on "trigger OR alert" will return results as expected, but searching on "trigger alert OR SAML" will not.
With the exception of manually entered operators (i.e. AND, OR, and AND NOT), keyword searches are not case sensitive. A keyword search is joined with other current active filters using an AND operator.
Note: The Audit Logs page only provides a month's worth of audit log entries for dynamic viewing and filtering. In order to access entries further back, assuming your account's "alert history storage" level supports a longer duration of historical log data, you'll need to run the Audit Log report.
Downloading and Reporting on Audit Log Entries from the Audit Logs Page
The current display of log entries on the Audit Logs page can be downloaded in one of two forms:
CSV file. Click the Download button to download the current set of results as a comma-separated value file.
CSV, HTML, or PDF file. Click the Create Report button to launch the Audit Log report settings dialog. The dialog will be populated with the current filters and search terms. Save the filters as the criteria for a new report and choose to generate its output in CSV, HTML, or PDF format. For more information on the Audit Log report, see Audit Log Report.
As discussed in Audit Log Report, the Audit Log report offers the same filter and search capabilities as the Audit Log page, but expanded capabilities when it comes to output formats, sorting, and duration of historical data available. And, as with all LogicMonitor reports, the Audit Log report can be scheduled to run on a recurring basis.
Audit Log Retrieval via REST API
Audit log entries can be queried from the LogicMonitor REST API. These results can be further refined for post-processing and analysis. For more information, see Get Audit Log Entries.


Dental fillings mean that you do not have to extract a tooth because it is broken or cracked. After a dental exam in South Jordan, the dentist will explain whether you are a good candidate for fillings or not. Since filings do not last forever, you know when to replace them. What signs point to problematic fillings?
This is the most obvious sign of a problematic filling. If you feel uncomfortable biting into food, especially cold or hot ones, you need to contact your dentist immediately. Your filling should also not cause discomfort when you brush your teeth. Other problems include intense toothaches and pressure when you eat.
Fillings can start falling out any time after your procedure. One cause is the improper bonding of the filling material. This happens when saliva or other materials get into the cavity during the procedure. A filling might also break if you bite intensely on teeth with large fillings. Using the wrong type of filling material can also cause premature disintegration.
It is essential to examine your filled teeth each time you brush or floss. If you note dark spots in your bite, you should contact a professional immediately. Such blemishes are proof of worn out or disintegrated fillings. Immediately seeking an expert's opinion helps avoid the spread of infections.
Your fillings might crack but not fall out. If you prefer composite or amalgam fillings, you should watch out for cracks because the materials are susceptible to damage. If the filling is higher than the tooth's surface, cracking is highly probable. Cracks also occur due to the biting-and-chewing effect of the restored teeth.
After the procedure, your dentist will recommend ways to maintain your fillings. Following instructions carefully will help prolong the life of your fillings. It is also advisable to have them checked regularly by a reliable practitioner.

Tight security for capital's main mourning procession
Several roads in G-6 to remain closed for whole day; mobile phone service likely to be suspended
By Arsalan Altaf
Policemen frisk mourners before allowing them to participate in Muharram 9 carried out from Imambargah Jamia Al-Murtaza in Sector G-9. PHOTO: ONLINE
ISLAMABAD: Authorities have put in place 'foolproof arrangements' for the main 9th Muharram procession which will be taken out in Sector G-6 on Thursday.
Around 3,000 policemen in addition to Rangers and Frontier Constabulary troops will be deployed for the procession's security.
Traditionally the main Ashura procession in Islamabad is taken out on 9th Muharram and on 10th the mourners participate in the main procession in Rawalpindi.
The procession of the mourners will emerge from Markazi Imambargah in Sector G-6/2 and culminate at the same point in the evening after passing through various streets and roads in and around Sector G-6/1 and G-6/2.
To facilitate the azadaraan, Fazl-e-Haq Road, Saddar Road, Municipal Road, Luqman Hakeem Road will remain closed for traffic for whole day.
One side of the 7th Avenue bordering Sector G-6 will also remain closed from Kulsum Plaza to Aabpara.
The entire Sector G-6/1, around which the procession will go in circle, as well as parts of sectors G-6/2 and G-7/3 will also remain cordoned off. Roads around the Polyclinic as well as the Capital Hospital will also be shut. The roads and streets will remain blocked until the procession is over before midnight.
Residents of Sector G-6/1 have complained that every year they suffer a day-long 'blockade' during which they are restricted to their homes.
"If we stay at home we cannot go anywhere until around midnight as all the streets are cordoned off, and if we go out for any daily chore or work we cannot return to our homes until late night," said a resident.
Another 9th Muharram procession will be taken out in Sector I-10/1 which will start at midnight and culminate at dawn. Several roads in and around Sector I-10/1 will be closed.
Preparedness level
Police said fool proof security had been put in place for the processions with huge deployment of police and paramilitary troops along the procession route.
SSP-Operations Najeebur Rehman Bugvi says the procession route will be secured with deployment, barbed wire and concrete blocks. Rangers and FC will assist the police as quick response force while Army troops will be on call.
The SSP said no decision had been made about the suspension of cellular services. He said any such decision will be made according to the situation. "It will be integrated security in three layers. There will be only one entry point at the back of the procession through which the participants will be allowed to enter the procession," Bugvi said. He added that fire tenders and ambulances will also be deployed along the procession.
Overall 909 majalis (sittings) and 177 processions will be taken out in the capital.
Though the authorities have not announced it yet, mobile phone service is likely to be suspended in the capital on Muharram 9 and 10. The deputy commissioner on Wednesday wrote a letter to the chief commissioner seeking closure of cellular networks from 9am to 9pm for two days. The service will be suspended in sectors G-6, G-7, G-8, G-9, F-7, F-11, I-10 and adjacent areas.

Christie's Leads A New Era In The Art Market
By Heather Fuller on May 20, 2013
Christie's realized in its New York Two-Week Spring Auction Series $828.8-million. The sale showcased important Impressionist, Modern, Post-War and Contemporary Art, with the inclusion of the 11th Hour Auction, which benefited the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
"My Foundation has worked on environmental issues since 1998, and despite the great efforts by organizations all over the world, our planet is in trouble," said DiCaprio. "The modern world is placing enormous pressure on the very natural systems that sustain us; we are destroying our forests, polluting the air and water, overfishing our oceans and facing overwhelming extinction rates of plants and animals. Consequently less than 2-percent of our Oceans and 12-percent of our forests and wildlands are protected. Nature is abundant, and it is resilient, but we have to take action now to protect our planet before it's too late. Given that less than 2-percent of philanthropic giving goes to environmental conservation projects, we are grateful that Christie's and the participating artists provided this incredible opportunity."
Participation in the Christie's two-week sales was global, with 36 countries represented among the buyers, and 41 new world auction records set over the course of the series.
"During the electric two-week series of sales at Rockefeller Center, masterpieces soared above high estimates, setting new artist records. Not only did three works sell above $40-million, but the increasing demand for top quality artworks with prestigious provenance, across all price points was evident. This sustained growth, witnessed season after season, is driven by established collectors and new bidders eager for the art itself," commented Steven P. Murphy, CEO, Christie's International.
Post-War & Contemporary Art
"Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art department set a new benchmark for the art market, raising a staggering total of $638.6-million," boasts the auction house.
Beginning the week was The 11th Hour Auction on May 13th, which proved to be the biggest wildlife charity auction ever staged as it raised $38.8-million and set several new auction records.
"The triumphant Evening Sale on May 15 raised an unmatched $495-million —the highest total in auction history. Including the Day Sales, the series of auctions set an astonishing 37 new auction records for the foremost artists of the last six decades, with three works sold above $40-million, nine above $10-million, 25 above $5-million and 88 sold over $1-million," reports Christie's.
Impressionist and Modern Art
Impressionist and Modern Art achieved $190.2-million, and the Evening Sale represented 35-percent growth from spring 2012, reports the auction house. In all, 34-percent of the works offered in the Evening Sale sold within estimate, and 29-percent sold above estimate, and four works sold over $10-million, ten works sold over $5-million and 36 works sold over $1-million. The strong sell-through rates of 94-percent by lot and 90-percent by value in the Evening Sale and 79-percent sold by lot and 83-percent by value in the Day Sales, represented a strong market underscored by bidding from 30 countries.

Artist-in-Residence Pilvi Takala (2018): Art with your own body by misbehavin
In the Artist-in-Residence position at Aalto University, the purpose of art is to arouse questions in a cross-disciplinary manner.
Artist Pilvi Takala misbehaves in order to expose the implicit rules of communities. She is Artist-in-Residence in the Department of Marketing at the School of Business, through her practice she attempts to provoke her environment into critical thinking. Many of her works have been situated in corporate environments, Takala stirs people's reactions by fracturing social rules in everyday situations.
Takala's video works are based on site-specific performances and interventions. The internationally renowned artist puts herself out there when researching the grey areas of unspoken negotiation such as how to behave and treat others.
'The artworks are based on research done with my own body. My method is going towards the awkward and uncertain, but that is precisely how interesting situations are found', says Takala.
Takala graduated with a Master's degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. She has also studied at the Glasgow School of Art and spent the past ten years living abroad in Amsterdam, Istanbul and Berlin. Takala's works have been exhibited in various exhibitions worldwide, most recently in London, Århus and Glasgow.
Brainworker in a lift
Many of Takala's artworks come into existence at places of employment, where group dynamics maintain unwritten rules. Utilising misbehaviour makes the adopted norms of a situation visible.
'In business communities, there are various silent and subtle rules as well as internal tensions. Art can bring to light difficult and problematic issues within corporate life and show that not everything is just wonderful on the road to success.'
'One common norm at the office may be, for instance, how to look like an efficient worker.'
That is precisely one of the things explored in The Trainee, a bold artwork Takala made at accountancy firm Deloitte. The artwork shakes up everyday life in the office by essentially doing nothing. Deloitte let Takala perform as a marketing trainee at their Helsinki office. Hidden cameras were recording the other employees' reactions to Takala's unconventional working methods, as after two weeks of working, she simply sat down at an empty desk in silence. If anybody asked, she said she was doing 'brainwork'. In another scene Takala is travelling in a lift for a whole workday, when asked she tells the other workers she can think better when standing in a lift. Some thought the new employee was a breath of fresh air, the others found her frightening.
'By disturbing familiar working methods, I generated conversation, which at best can encourage critical thinking and insight into our own normative behaviours.'
Breaking boundaries and working together
The Artist-in-Residence programme at the School of Business at Aalto University is a brilliant instrument for clashing rational and creative thinking. By stretching and breaking boundaries, fresh ideas can be born. First of its kind in the Nordic countries, the programme was founded in 2011 and it brings together art, science, technology and business.
'New thought processes are essential when you want to really create something new or solve big problems. Bringing together people from the very top of their own fields inspires everyone to think about things from a wider perspective and a new angle. This prompts openings that would otherwise not emerge', says Anna Valtonen, Dean of the School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
Takala is excited about the one-year-long residency, the main task of which is to produce an artwork.
'If I sit alone in my room, I cannot produce anything. My works emerge from everyday life amidst different communities and from studying their dynamics. At the School Business, I want to make an artwork that has a starting point right here.'
Clashing together different disciplines and people is essential to the making of her piece. The goal is to look for something new through discussion, experimentation and curious investigation.
During the residency, Takala will host a workshop as part of the University Wide Art Studies directed at all Aalto University students. One of the tasks is just to be around and encourage natural exchange of ideas between art and a business perspective.
In August Takala's solo exhibition will open at Kiasma in Helsinki. The exhibition will showcase both new and old video art produced at places of employment.

Q: Create an NSAlert without a view I'm creating an Safari App Extension that communicates with native code in swift.
I'm sending a message to swift, and I want the native code to ask if user accept an action, like delete something.
I found this code:
`
func dialogOKCancel(question: String, text: String) -> Bool {
        let alert = NSAlert()
        var image = NSImage(named:NSImage.Name(rawValue: "b.png"))
        alert.icon = image;
        alert.messageText = question
        alert.informativeText = text
        alert.alertStyle = .informational
        alert.addButton(withTitle: "Permitir")
        alert.addButton(withTitle: "Negar")
        return alert.runModal() == .alertFirstButtonReturn
    }

`
But this code only opens an alert if it is inside a view class, and I want it to open in any class that wants to ask something, is that possible? I saw many implementations that uses another libs for IOS, but I want to do this in Mac OSX, thanks!

Being 'afraid of the dentist' may mean different things to different people. It will probably help if you work out just what it is that worries you most. Maybe the sounds and smells bring back memories of bad experiences as a child, or make you think that having treatment will hurt. The good news is that more and more dentists now understand their patients' fears. They realise that kindness and gentleness can do a lot to make dental treatment an acceptable, normal part of life.
I have been scared of the dentist for a long time – what is it like now?
Dental techniques have improved so much over the last few years that modern dental treatment can now be completely painless. Despite this, most people still feel a little nervous at the thought of going to the dentist. If you have not been to see a dentist for some time, you will probably find that things have improved a lot since your last visit. The general attitude is likely to be more relaxed, the dental techniques and safety procedures will be much better, and the equipment will be more up to date.
Many dentists today offer special treatment for nervous patients. The first fear to deal with is the fear of telling other people that you are afraid of dental treatment. If you can discuss it with your friends or colleagues you are likely to find someone else who has similar problems. They may be able to recommend a dentist to you. A dentist who is personally recommended by another nervous person is usually a very good choice.
If you are nervous about dental treatment, you need to be looked after by a dental practice that will take special care of you. You may need to travel some distance, but it will be worth the effort when you are no longer afraid.
Years ago it was normal for people to need fillings every time they went to their dentist, but things have changed for the better now. The dental team will now want to help you have, and keep, a healthy mouth and healthy teeth. Using a fluoride toothpaste will help to strengthen your teeth and prevent decay. Therefore, you may be surprised at how little treatment you need.
Teeth are for life and can last a lifetime if they are looked after properly. If you can get your mouth healthy, with the help of the dental team, you should need less treatment and there will be less for them to do in the future. It is important to keep up your regular visits to the dental team. The team will not just check for tooth decay, but will also help you prevent gum disease. Once your mouth is healthy, your visits to the practice will often just be easy sessions for checking and cleaning.
Your first appointment should just be for a consultation. See it as an opportunity for you to 'interview' the dentist, receptionist and other members of the team, and have a chat about what to expect next. The dentist may check your teeth with a mirror and probe and may take x-rays before developing a treatment plan.
Yes. Make sure that the team know you are nervous, so that they can help you.
Tell your dental team what it is that you particularly dislike about dental treatment. If you think you know the reason, tell your dental team what may have caused your fear.
Many people are scared of the local anaesthetic injection needed to numb the tooth. Again, be sure to tell the dental team that this is something that bothers you. There are anaesthetic gels that can be applied to the area of the gum before the injection. This gel numbs the gum so that you cannot feel the needle.
Can I ask the dental team to stop if I need to?
Before the treatment is started, agree with your dental team a sign that means 'stop now - I need a break'. Usually you can just raise your hand, and the treatment can be stopped for a few minutes until you are ready to start again. Once you know that you can control the situation you will feel more confident.
Listening to music is a good way to help you relax. Some practices have it playing in the treatment rooms, but the best way is to take headphones and your phone or MP3 player so that you can have your own choice of music.
Take things one step at a time. Discuss any proposed treatment with your dentist, and decide what you feel you can cope with. This may be no more than an examination with a dental mirror first. If you succeed with that, you may feel you could have your teeth polished next, perhaps by the dental hygienist. Don't be afraid to say when you have had enough - there is usually no reason to hurry through the dental treatment.
What techniques can the practice use to help me?
This will depend on which techniques the practice is experienced in, and which you feel would help you most. Many practices offer several types of sedation, including inhalation ('gas and air') and intravenous (an injection). Other practices offer hypnosis and relaxation techniques. You would learn these techniques yourself, which would allow you to gain control over your feelings of distress or fear. You can also learn relaxation techniques from specialist teachers or at home. They can be very useful in controlling anxiety (see our information about 'relaxation and sedation').
Counselling is another way of dealing with feelings of anxiety. This is usually carried out by a member of the practice team, in a room away from the surgery. You would be encouraged to discuss your fears so that you can deal with them and overcome them.
As you get to know and trust your dentist and other members of the dental team, you will find your fears start to lessen. In time you will gain control over your fears, and dental care can become a normal part of your life.
There are many organisations that help people suffering from 'phobias'. Most of them also offer help to people nervous of the dentist because it is a very common problem.

1. LIGHTNING CANS Best Lightning Headphones http://lightningcans.com/
2. 2 WHO WE ARE This website exists to explore the rapidly growing sub-category of Lightning-connected headphones, monitors and earbuds. The technology and its potential make for what amounts to "smart headphones". So, just as "smartphones" "smartwatches" and "smartglasses" are differentiated from old fashioned "normal" phones, watches and glasses, so thus are Lightning headphones. Why Does this Website Exist? http://lightningcans.com/
3. LIGHTNING CANS Lightning Cans is all about that ear candy...that musical delight...that joy you get when you hear your favorite song in high fidelity for the first time. Lightning Cans is a participant of the Amazon Associates affiliate program and as such include occasional links to Amazon.com http://lightningcans.com/
4. 4 BEST LIGHTNING HEADPHONES FOR NEW IPHONE MODELS some of the best headphones released specifically to work with Apple products. They are MFi certified, a.k.a "Apple-approved" and offer a variety of features not available with either old fashioned 3.5mm headphones or even new bluetooth models like the crappy "Airpods" So without further delay, here are the brightest and most clever cans currently on-market: Top Performing Lightning-port Cans for iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X• Libratone Q Adapts • 1More Triple Driver • Philips Fidelio M2L • Audeze Sine • Bowers & Wilkins P9 Signature READ MORE
5. 5 The FiiO i1 DAC/AMP: Much Better Than A Dongle A range of different adapters have been developed that can be inserted directly into the Lightning Port of a range of Apple devices. The FiiO i1 DAC/ 3.5 to Lightning Headphone Adapter is a fantastic example of this, coming from a company that is known best for the range of portable and desktop headphone amplifiers that they produce. DUMP YOUR DONGLE It features a seamless metal body with a matte black finish. It also has a built-in ability to detect whether you are using a pair of standard headphones or ones with built-in controls. The certification itself is Apple MFi certification, meaning that the adapter will pose no risk to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

6. 6 TIDAL THE BEST MUSIC STREAMING APP FOR IPHONES? There are hundreds of different streaming services in countries all around the world. You have Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Tidal vs. Pandora ad infinitum.. Some of these services are specifically designed for particular devices, whereas others can be used on almost anything. These services are also usually owned by small companies, at least they start that way, and many, like Tidal and Apple Music go on to make heaps of money. READ MORE
7. 7 Anker Soundbuds Digital IE10 In-Ear Full Review As technology advances, the design of these devices will change change as well to adapt to the latest and greatest audio trends. Apple recently made a big decision not to include the headphone jack in the design of their iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 devices, making quite a ruckus in the process as consumers were understandably quite shocked. The ANKER SoundBuds Digital IE10 do not come with that risk, as they have been Apple MFi certified, having been made specifically for use with iOS. You can check whether an accessory like a pair of headphones if officially MFi certified by using Apple's own "approved list" search found at https://mfi.apple.com/MFiWeb/getAPS . ANKER have specifically designed the ANKER SoundBuds Digital IE10 for use in a sporting environment. Firstly, the product is much more durable than a standard set of earphones would be. Secondly, the product features an IPX5 level of water resistance. The Lightning connectivity feature of this device is really what makes it stand out among other products. It can be used with a range of iPods, iPhones, and iPads. here are 3 different EQ modes to choose from when using the SoundBuds: balance, clear voice, and super bass. You can switch between modes easily, with just the touch of a button. READ MORE BUY FROM AMAZON
8. 8 SUMMARY The ANKER SoundBuds Digital IE10 are different. They are incredibly affordable when compared to other Apple MFi certified products, and they are even affordable when compared to other products that have not been Apple MFi certified. It's difficult to find products that offer as many fantastic features as this one does with a similar price tag. We are big fans of lightning-powered earbuds as there are some great offerings like the JBL Reflect Aware and Libratone Q Adapts, both of which look cool AND offer active noise cancelling, but you have to pay extra for that tech. http://lightningcans.com/
9. WORLD'S FIRST TRIPLE DRIVER LIGHTNING EARBUDS • With the market being flooded by what are essentially different color variants of the same crappy lightning cable earbuds it is getting confusing for audio lovers to differentiate between fly-by-night schemes and good, honest consumer audio brands. • The Triple Drivers have already won a fair share of awards, earning them considerable "street cred" in the audio world. • Triple Drivers can hit frequencies between 20-40,000 Hz, which you will be hard pressed to find with other buds at this price. • Each have 3 drivers in each "bud" (totaling 6), there is also a 5-In-1 controller that lets you make phone calls, run Siri, adjust volume and change tracks without having to take your phone out of your pocket. • The design of the buds themselves is kind of an industrial-minimalist motif, with nice lightweight sandblasted finger-print-proof aluminum alloy for the housing, oblique angled silicon ear fittings for a tight fit, and a strong kevlar-cored cable for long strength. READ MORE BUY FROM AMAZON
10. 10 SUMMARY At a suggested price of $149.99 for the lightning version of these buds, factoring in all of the features mentioned above, and the simple and time-tested aluminum housing+kevlar cable design, we think 1More has a real winner on their hands with these. As a consumer, you would be VERY hard pressed to find a better balance of quality and value! One thing we are curious about though, is whether 1More plans to port their "Quad Driver" earbuds over to a lightning-connection anytime soon…as they also look absolutely stunning! http://lightningcans.com/
11. With the iPhone 7 Apple killed off the 3.5mm headphone port, to the dismay of many. Although anger about the move still simmers, and conspiracies, perhaps rightly so, still persist that it was a giant revenue ploy by Apple to get people to buy more dongles, it's had one major positive impact; the forced evolution of headphone makers to embrace "smart headphones". Pioneer has shown us what this glorious "smart" future looks like.. PIONEER'S INNOVATIVE RAYZ PLUS REVIEW Finally, Someone's Made a Set of Truly Smart Headphones What Are Smart Headphones? Smart headphones are connected headphones that utilize new tech to bring you new and innovative features not possible with traditional, analog headphone types. This includes integrating DAC and amps directly in the headphones like Audeze does with their Sine headphones and CIPHER lightning cable. It includes the Scosche lightning adapter for Bose headphones. With Rayz you can Listen and Charge at the Same Time, Smart Controls ,6- Mic Inline Controls, In-Ear/Out-of- Ear Detection, Active Noise Cancellation and EQ App, Low Power Consumption. READ MORE BUY FROM AMAZON
12. 12 SUMMARY Overall these earbuds are impressive as hell, from the unique dual charging function, to the beautiful app, to the low power consumption considerations. These are without a doubt the most technologically advanced earbuds currently on the market for Apple users and for that reason they deserver a huge round of applause http://lightningcans.com/
13. 13 AUDEZE SINE LIGHTNING CANS ARE AU-MAZING Audeze Sine Headphones have attracted a whole heap of praise from influential tech reviewers would be a serious understatement. PC Mag have heralded them as "powerful, vibrant, balanced, stylish and comfortable", while Metal-Fi, called them "outstanding" and Digital Trends quite pointedly noted their ability to overcome the limitations faced by other headphones. The Audeze Sine Headphones are putting their best foot forward with wireless tech. A super fat, heavy duty, tangle free cable that not only transmits your music losslessly to your ears but also includes a built in DAC as well. Additionally the cable includes a micr0phone for voice calls, full SIRI compatibility, built in DSP, and a dedicated EQ app to adjust your music to your taste directly from your smartphone. The Cipher cable is one of the stand out features of the Sines and a very practical application of the benefits afforded by using lightning connections instead of analog READ MORE BUY FROM AMAZON
14. 14 SUMMARY Overall the Sine's a truly unique, bringing Planar Magnetic technology and a really neat lightning cable to the table which is pretty empty in terms of direct competition. Sure the price is a little high, but factoring in all the engineering that has gone on to get incorporate these new technologies, it's actually a pretty fair price we think and if we had the cheddar, we'd drop for them in an instant. http://lightningcans.com/
15. 15 LIBRATONE Q ADAPT ON- EAR HEADPHONES OVERVIEW The Libratone mission is to liberate sound – a brand that's defined by its slogan to "Adjust the world to your music"; following a number of audio products that have won them awards and grabbed them plenty of attention, they're now moving into the realm of personal audio. The brand new, Bluetooth Q Adapt earphones are their flagship product – a first of what may well be a long line of products that aim to re-define the status quo for audio enthusiasts. The world of iPhone 7 headphone options is looking truly bright indeed.. The design of this product owes much to the Scandinavian heritage of the three entrepreneurs behind the brand . READ MORE BUY FROM AMAZON
16. 16 SUMMARY Overall the Q Adapt On-ears are some of the most innovative Bluetooth headphones on the market. While the punch and frequency response may not be the same as cans from audiophile brands, the Q Adapts make up for it with insanely slick styling and design. http://lightningcans.com/
