When it comes to portable audio, an MP3 player or phone in conjunction with a nice set of earbuds is as compact as you can go. Thanks to their small size and practicality, earbuds are among the most popular kind of headphones currently on the market.
That doesn't mean, though, that just buying any pair of earbuds will do you any good. The opposite is true, in fact: Thanks to a highly saturated market, true gems are hard to find, even more so if you happen to be on a tight budget.
So, the question is, out of hundreds upon hundreds of choices, most of them anything but affordable, which are the Best Earbuds under 100 dollar out there? Read on if you want to find out.

1. Bose SoundSport – Best for Gaming
Made by luxury firm Bose, the SoundSports are designed to offer almost anything and everything one could wish for in a pair of earbuds: Comfort, great sound, style and a practicality-focused design.
This model excels at all of the above, making it a potent performer in real-life testing. Sure, they do tip the scale in terms of price, coming it at $99, but you really get what you pay for.
Included in the price are not just the earbuds, but also three pairs of interchangeable, differently-sized, sweat-resistant ear-tips, in-line volume and microphone controls and a luxuriously finished, Bose-branded carrying pouch.
The ear-tips in particular are a favorite of ours. Not only is it a great idea to ship the tips in three different sizes to accommodate different ear shapes, but the design itself is also well-thought-out, with an excellent choice of material, mostly silicone, which is both very comfortable and weather-proof, as well as an ingenious shape.
They feature 'wings' that are angled upwards, effectively locking the earbuds in place while they're worn and preventing them from slipping off of the wearer's ears.
Add to that its lightness, thin profile and the fact that it comes unbraided and we can't help but fear that the SoundSports, irrespective of their quality, are not as durable as one might want them to be.
- Comfortable
- Sounds great
- 3 sets of ear-tips
- Carrying pouch
- In-line controls
- Ear-tip design is ergonomic, weather-proof and comfortable
- Cable has a high chance of fraying or breaking
- High price
2. 1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones – Best in Bass Audio
1MORE may not be a well-known brand name, but their lineup of affordable, yet highly practical earbuds surely impresses.
Their top-of-the-line sub-$100 model is simply called the Triple Driver due to the unique arrangement of, well, triple drivers which can put out some very impressive sound. But even apart from that, the 1MORE's have got a lot to offer.
On the luxury front, they come bundled with a total of nine interchangeable sets of silicone ear-tips to accommodate literally any ear shape and size out there.
In addition to in-line controls and some truly luxurious packaging, styled to resemble hand-written book, which includes the earbuds themselves.
All ear-tips neatly sorted, the bundled charger, the instruction booklet as well as a small leather pocket to store your earbuds in when you don't need them.
Some truly nice little details round off the picture, like gold accents and a beautifully braided connector cable. However, we do miss the winged ear-tips from the Bose SoundSports and the 3.5 mm audio connector.
- Luxurious in every imaginable way
- 9 sets of ear-tips
- Amazing packaging design
- Great sound
- Nice leather pocket included
- Inline controls
- No wings on any of the ear-tips
- 3.5 mm connector prone to bending and breaking
Please, 1MORE, just round off the few nitpicks that there still are and you'll have the best pair of sub-$100 earbuds on the market. We promise.
3. Plantronics Backbeat Fit – Best For Small Ears
For $85, world-renowned communications and audio equipment manufacturer Plantronics offers the Backbeat Fits, earbuds designed for sports and fitness enthusiasts.
Featuring fixed, non-replaceable silicone ear-tips, fully sweat- and water-resistant, of course, with built-in wings and…not much else. The Backbeat Fit are easily recognizable as an inherently basic pair of earbuds.
The thick, colored cable connecting both drivers is made to withstand the test of time and feels solid, thoroughly rigid even when flexing it by force.
An audio cable is redundant as the Backbeat Fits connect wirelessly to your phone via Bluetooth. Overall, they sport a high-quality construction which we like.
But make no mistake, the Backbeat Fits don't even play in the same league as the 1MORE Triple Drivers above, for example. As such, you don't get anything besides the average sound quality and the Bluetooth implementation out of the box.
- Good at what they are
- Not as expensive as some others
- Comfortable enough to wear
- High-quality build with a good choice of materials
- Winged ear-tips
- Bluetooth works well, is convenient
- Not nearly as many luxury features as others in the same price bracket
- Basic
So, in short, if you are looking for a strictly basic pair of reliable, well-built earbuds under $100, you just found them. All of those who want near-headphone functionality, though, move on.
4. Shure SE-215 – Best for Listening Music while Sleeping
The SE-215 by Shure are designed for general use, with no obvious or overly specific demographic recognizable at first hand.
They are available in three rather unusual color schemes, Black, White and Clear, but apart from that, it's all very straightforward.
You get six sets of ear-tips and a long, braided audio cable as well as a small pouch for storing all of that stuff.
Although there are no real wings, the audio cable exits the earbuds at an angle that facilitates wearing them draped around your ear, mimicking the use of wings, albeit in a less refined way.
That's it. For what they are, the Shures perform well. With above-average sound quality, a comfortable fit and enough individuality thanks to the color schemes.
But unfortunately, the asking price, $99, seems a little high for a pair of earbuds that is much more ill-equipped compared to most contenders on our list.
- Good audio quality
- Nice fit
- Uncommon color schemes guarantee individuality
- Pocket and six types of earbuds included
- No wings; a less refined, less comfortable design is used instead
- Rather high-priced considering feature set
- Don't excel in any particular category
So, in total, the Shure SE215s offer a reasonably high-quality portable audio experience.
There's just not that much to justify the $99, at least when you compare them to the competition. Still, if you ignore the price tag for a moment, the SE215s are really solid earbuds, and there's no question about that.
5. Sennheiser Momentum – Best For Music Lovers
Sennheiser, who have been called the undisputed king of portable audio oh-so many times by now, generally tend to neglect earbuds in favor of bulkier, but much better-sounding, over-ear headphones and headsets.
However, the Momentum In-Ears are a noteworthy exception. Named after Sennheiser's range-topping line of wireless headphones, the Momentum's sport luxurious looks, high-grade materials, in-line controls.
And some of the best sound we've heard coming out of a pair of earbuds and all the emotional appeal associated with the Sennheiser brand. All of that goes for $95, making Momentums pretty cost-efficient, a rarity for such a luxury brand.
However, we found there to be quite a few issues. Most notably the audio cable, which is unbraided and can fatally rupture at numerous points.
And the ear-tips, which, although excellent in terms of feel and noise isolation, are only shipped in one size. Any replacement pair must be purchased separately from Sennheiser.
Also, besides the fancy looks, controls and sound quality, the Momentum's are curiously devoid of any luxury features.
- Luxuriously crafted
- Top-class sound
- In-line controls
- Great looks
- Replacement ear-tips have to be purchased separately
- Competition offers more upmarket features
- Cable can rupture and break
However, they don't shine with quite the same light of brilliance and refinement as other Sennheiser products, which makes us question who exactly their intended demographic might be.
6. Cowin HE8D – Best for Driving
Cowin, a widely-known manufacturer of affordable audio products, tries to cash in on the in-ear headphone market with their new HE8Ds, priced pretty competitively at $80, though they are available on some online marketplaces for less.
On the outset, they look good, literally. Thanks to a metal finish, the HE8Ds can't really be mistaken for any other make of earbuds, which is great in a market where every second product looks the same.
In-line controls, Bluetooth, Active Noise Cancelling, though its practicality can be disputed when it comes to earbuds.
And a thoroughly sweat-proof design round off the picture and make the HE8D seem like a really good proposition in terms of sheer value.
On the subject of sound, the Cowins don't disappoint. With great volume, clarity, noise isolation and good playback of vocals and instrumentation at a level of quality and refinement that is more than satisfactory at this price point.
There are two large flaws that can be found in this design, though. Firstly, the noise cancelling feature, as nice as it sounds, is basically useless in practice as it not only degrades the Cowins' sound quality but also fails to truly block out any significant amount of noise.
- Great, unique looks
- Very low price tag
- Impressive sound quality
- Not that comfortable
- Noise cancelling effectively useless
7. Meidong Earbuds – Best for PS4
For $80, and bundled with Active Noise Cancelling, the Meidong Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds sure make a similar impression to the Cowin HE8Ds above.
Some customers even rewarded it as a best earbuds for PS4.
Like them, the Meidongs feature a relatively unique exterior design, with polygonal gloss elements instead of flat, metallic surfaces. Apart from that, though, similarities abound.
Sound quality is about on par with the Cowins, as is the noise cancelling, even if the reasons for its inclusion in this model remain just as much of a mystery to us as on the HE8Ds given the ANCs relative ineffectiveness in such a low-profile, compact pair of earbuds.
One big difference is the inclusion of Bluetooth on the Meidong model, which is a very handy and surprising addition for a pair priced at $80.
Furthermore, there are a lot of extras bundled with the Meidongs compared to Cowin's and other similarly-priced earbuds. Such as removable wings for the ear-tips, which come in three sizes, as well as a nice carrying bag and in-line controls.
- High value
- Removable wings and three sizes for ear-tips
- Good sound
- Bluetooth
- In-line controls
- Nice design
- Cheap build quality
- Not as comfortable to wear as some others
- Poor ANC
In spite of being far from perfect, and the fact that they seem a little too, shall we say, inspired by the Cowin HE8Ds, the Meidong Bluetooth Earbuds are solid devices, performing well in many disciplines.
8. JLab Audio Epic2 – Best For XBOX One
The Epic2 from JLab are sports earbuds, that much becomes clear by just taking a quick gander at their design and feature set.
Although the ear-tips, of which there are eight pairs in total to choose from, all with different sizes and shapes, don't feature wings, the audio cable is angled properly and thick enough so it can be worn in a similar fashion, holding the earbuds in place by being wrapped around the ear.
Additionally, you get a fully waterproof design with in-line controls, Bluetooth, a carrying bag, an internal mic and a battery that can hold a 12-hour charge.
Sounds like everything you need for the average workout, doesn't it? Indeed it does, but where the Epic2's slightly disappoint is in an area much more trivial to sports enthusiasts.
But at the same time probably one of the paramount criteria for what can be considered 'good earbuds' for the average buyer. Of course, we're talking about sound quality.
The Epic2's possess a pretty muddy and rough sound signature, which we may have excused weren't it for the static that is constantly audible in the background. It even scales with the volume, so there's no way to get rid of it!
But what buyer of earbuds doesn't care the least bit about sound quality?
- Eight pairs of eartips guarantee comfort and great fit
- Fully waterproof
- Good battery life
- Internal mic
- Bluetooth
- Sub-par sound quality that doesn't befit the price
9. Sony MDR-XB70BT – Best For Cycling
Sporting a unique, behind-the-ear design and collar, the Sony MDR-XB70BTs seem astoundingly small at first glance. Even for earbud standards.
But once you put them on, you realize that's because all the electronics, along with every convenience feature from Bluetooth and NFC to the in-line controls, are contained within the collar unit, which saves a lot of space for the actual earbuds.
Ear-tips come in four sizes and, as expected from a brand like this, the tips are made from silicone. And don't get us started on the sound. Typical Sony MDR-quality is all that we need to say.
The main problem that we found with the XB70BTs was that the weight of the collar constantly pulled the earphones down.
Which meant that, although our neck was satisfied with the feel of the whole setup, our ears were not, or at least not as much.
- Bluetooth and NFC
- Unusual, but nevertheless practical design
- Extremely compact earbuds
- Great sound
- Good value thanks to low price
- Not extremely comfortable
- Collar pulls earphones down, resulting in poor fit
- Sub-par build quality on the collar
For just $75, they're an amazing deal from such a quality brand, but we don't know whether you can really compare them to any other contenders on our list due to their unique, one-of-a-kind design.
However, we do think they're a very nice pair to try out, especially if all those common earbuds have been disappointing you so far.
10. Focal Sphear In-Ear Headphones – Best in Audio Quality
The High-Resolution Earbuds by Sphear have one goal, one purpose: Maximum sound quality under $100. $90, to be precise.
Sure, there's a built-in mic and some in-line controls for it as well, but it quickly becomes evident that the Sphears' true strengths lie elsewhere.
And? Do they really deliver? Is the sound that good? Well, after testing, we have to say: Yes, yes it is. The reason the Sphears excel at sound quality like no other pair of earbuds do lies within their design.
As they are made for optimum sound from the ground up, they are equipped with, for earbud standards, rather large drivers that represent most frequency ranges very well and very easily.
We were surprised at how deep and rich the bass sounded in spite of the diminutive size of the hardware creating it, and it only gets better after some days of use as, yes, these earphones actually feature a proper break-in period, further evidence of their full-size headphone-like construction.
Of course, because the Sphears occupy the same price range as all others on our list, there are many shortcomings in other areas, especially when it comes to convenience features.
If lush comfort, luxurious add-ons and style are your criteria for a good pair of earbuds, the Sphears are almost anything but good.
- Amazing sound considering price and size
- Good build quality and feel
- No add-ons, extras or convenience features
- Depending on your expectations, sub-average price-performance ratio
In total, the Sphears In-Ear Headphones may seem like a compromise to some, like a godsend to others.
Our Winner: Bose SoundSport
The Bose SoundSports may not be the best-performing earbuds for under $100 in terms of sheer sound quality or features, but what they are like no other is well-rounded. With the SoundSports, you essentially get a complete mobile sound package including every accessory you'd ever need.
Due to them being well-built, you can also rely on the SoundSports for quite a long time if you need to. Simply put, if you need earbuds for under $100, these are the no-nonsense option..
Wrapping up
Throughout our overview, we looked at a wide variety of devices. Earbuds for audiophiles, fashionistas or tech freaks, there's something for everyone. Thus, don't take our word for it when we talk about 'the best'. The best can only mean what's best for your personal requirements, so go out there, try out as many of our recommendations as you can and find out which type of best earbuds under 100 dollar suit you best!

March Madness is a time when college students all over the United States cheer on their school's basketball team as they play to become champions of the NCAA. This is often a time where school spirit is at an all time high. As mentioned in a previous post, I am a huge sports fan. It is usually around this time, and during college football season where I question by decision to come to a small liberal arts college because of the lack of that type of atmosphere. However, around Bryn Mawr-and Philadelphia in general, we are surrounded by some pretty amazing sports schools including Villanova University, Temple University, and St. Joseph's University. And of course there's Penn and Drexel, but their sports teams aren't as good as the schools mentioned before (sorry).
Nova, Temple and St. Joe's all were all seeded in the tournament and this had Philadelphia buzzing with excitement. Three local teams going to the big dance (aka March Madness tournament) had all of the local news stations buzzing with dreams of a championship in their eyes (this city has been deprived a championship for almost 8 years.) Unfortunately, Temple lost in a close game, losing by 2 points in over time, but Villanova has made their way to the Sweet 16, and St. Joe's will play later tonight.
So being at Bryn Mawr, my loyalties will be going to Villanova, our neighbors two miles away. I distinctly remember last year, when I tweeted about supporting Nova during March Madness, I got some comments from current Bryn Mawr students like "ew, why would you cheer for Villanova?" Well, since Bryn Mawr is not playing, I need someone to cheer for, so why not cheer for a school close by, who are also very good? I don't really understand the dislike some students have for Villanova. It is a great school with a great sports program, and I really appreciate having someone to root for during March Madness.
So for the next few weeks, I will consider myself as a "cousin" to Nova, cheering for them and hoping they win it all!

Familiar to an unfamiliar. surprise of a new environment,
With new people and a new way of life worth the time and cost
Never to be got experiences and joy, opportunities and great toast!

Berörande möten och kulturella smärtpunkter
In this volume of studies, Animal: Moments of Affect, Moments of Pain, eight ethnologists apply a cultural perspective to people's varied and complex relationships with other species. The contributions focus on wild animals, that is, those that are rarely found in the authors' immediate vicinity. Based on ongoing research, the articles discuss themes such as conflicts and joys in the birdwatching world, charismatic animals in various exhibition contexts, children's fears, morbid animal jokes and the ritual transformation of living animals into edible meat. The texts range from the tender, comical and cute to death and existential vulnerability. The book begins with the editors presenting an overview of how animals have been produced, noticed and studied in a mostly Nordic humanistic research context. Then the articles follow. Based on the idea of affective logic, Elin Lundquist follows the on-site monitoring of the bird hunting that takes place annually in Malta. Mattias Frihammar uses observations at a wilderness gallery with taxidermied animals to reflect on local identity. Lars Kaijser examines the ambivalent and conflicted portrayal of sharks in public aquariums. Sverker Hyltén-Cavallius writes about the death of extinct animals and how this is displayed in natural history museums. Susanne Nylund Skog examines birdwatchers' stories as an expression of collecting and as a way of manifesting status. With lobster cartoons as a starting point, Simon Ekström shows how these depict both animal rights issues and human anxiety. Helena Hörnfeldt investigates animal fear and the diffuse boundary between humans and animals. Proceeding from different depictions of slaughter and the preparation of meat, Michelle Zethson problematizes how some animals are made edible. The volume ends with an epilogue by the editors commenting on the findings.

Yatterman-1 is the main protagonist of the anime series Yatterman!
Gan Takada is a 13-year-old boy whose father is a famous toy designer who failed to complete the "Yatter-Wan", a dog-shaped all-terrain rescue robot. Gan is an expert in mechanics, and he helps fix his father's dream design. He forms a fighting team with his girlfriend Ai, and names himself "Yatterman No. 1" His weapon of choice is a kendama, which he uses as a flail and grappling hook as well as for his special attack "Kenda-Magic", a zapping attack.
Yatterman-1 is a globe-trotting hero who invents massive mechanical weapons to save the world. His trademarks are his bright smile, signature mask, and his crime-fighting weapon, the Kendamagic. In his regular life, he goes by the name of Gan-chan, a genius mechanic who's known to be a bit of a slacker.
He builds several robots through the anime series, all with names starting with 'Yatter'. For example, the Yatter-Pelican and Yatter-Panda. The 'Yatter-Wan' robot, which looks like a dog, is an all-terrain rescue vehicle.
Yatterman No. 1 uses a kendama (a Japanese toy ) as a weapon.
Special MovesEdit
•Kenda Magic •
Yatterman-1's projectile, and the fastest one in the game. Button pressed determines the distance. The opponent needs to be standing reasonably close to where your projectile is going to end up in order to be hit.
It's a great pestering tool for opponents trying to stay away from you. You can fire it off really quickly. In combos it isn't so important because it does below-average damage for a projectile.
As an assist it's probably one of the worst in the game because it deals very little stun and requires specific spacing.
•Yatter Medium Attack (Kenda Spin) •
One of Yatterman-1's best moves where he lunges forward with his Kendama. This is an overhead attack and it is very fast. Light version has the quickest startup, but the shortest range. It's unsafe on block if you do it from the ground, but if you use as it an air-to-ground attack it is much safer.
Use Baroque to combo from this overhead attack on the ground. If you land Kenda Spin in the air, you can jump again and immediately reactivate it for another repetition. In the air, this move will beat out a lot of other attacks, not to mention that Yatterman-1 moves forward a good distance when he uses it.
•Yatter Shock •
Yatterman-1 does a spin kick and then follows it up with his Kendama, which shocks the opponent and places them in crumple stun. This sets them up for a combo of your choice. The only thing you cannot land after this move is Yatterwan Kamikaze. You don't have to land the initial kick to shock the opponent, but the first hit does guarantee the crumple stun afterwards.
The only downside to this move is that it does 11 hits, contributing heavily to damage scaling.
•Yatter Run •
A run command where Yatterman will begin sprinting towards the opponent. Depending on the button pressed Yatterman will do something different.
Light: Yatterman-1 leaps over the opponent without doing anything.
Medium: A slide attack that has to be blocked low. Knocks down and leads to Yatterwan Flame in the corner.
Hard: Kenda Spin attack.
You can use this run command to quickly use a Kenda Spin without having to do a dragon punch motion. The slide is unsafe on block, so make sure the opponent is blocking high.
Hyper CombosEdit
•Yatterwan Special Attack (Level 1) •
Yatterman-1 jumps off screen and returns riding his robot. During this move, Yatterman-1 is totally invincible. The downside is that the startup for this move is really terrible. Use this Hyper to blow through Hyper moves that would normally force you to block for the duration. An example of this is Ryu using Shinku Hadouken; if Ryu activates it from a distance, simply use this move to ride right through the beam. The recovery of this move is hard to punish because Yatterman-1 reappears on screen really quickly.
In Crossover Combinations this Hyper is absolutely terrible because it knocks the opponent down and drags them out of other Hyper moves. In DHCs, you'll want to cancel from a Hyper that does a delayed knockdown so that Yatterwan has time to come out and hit the opponent.
•Yatterwan Flame (Level 1) •
The comboable Hyper of choice for Yatterman-1 players. This move can lift opponents off the ground after a sweep or an air combo knockdown in the corner. It does really good damage, too. The flame emitted by Yatterwan holds the opponent down for a long time, setting up other on-the-ground Hyper moves.
Yatterman-1 needs to deal more damage than his normal combos can dish out in order to stay in the game, so you'll be relying on this move a lot. You can use the joystick to steer the direction of the flame if the opponent isn't on the ground by the time Yatterwan begins breathing fire.
•This Week's Surprise Robots (Level 3) •
Yatterman-1 throws out a bone and if it his the opponent they get his with a series of robots and a bomb. This Level 3 Hyper isn't affected much by damage scaling, so you can combo into it from a Yatter Shock. It has a decent amount of startup that makes it a little hard to land, but from a good assist it is possible.
Yatterman-1 has low stamina and usually uses meter to change momentum with Mega Crashes. It's best not to land this move against anyone other than the Giants.

Even in the chocolate section, which iChoc now enriches with six strong milk chocolate alternatives. With the new two varieties, we are now relying completely on vegan versions of popular chocolate classics. It is usually the simple varieties, such as pure vegan 'milk' chocolate, that are requested most frequently by our customers.

It's lights, camera, action at Penberthy House!
Clementine Rose is going to be on the big screen! Her neighbour, Basil Hobbs, is making a documentary about Penberthy House and has given her a starring role. Clementine can't wait to uncover the magic of motion picture. And when a surprise present comes her way, Clemmie's interest in filmmaking grows.
While Aunt Violet is thrilled at the prospect of fame and fortune, Lady Clarissa has other things on her mind. There have been some troubling incidents of late, leaving the hotel guests very annoyed. Can Clementine Rose use her new skills to expose the truth and restore the reputation of Penberthy House?

Everyone needs to have a distinctive smell, especially one that is pleasant. This is what drove Kgomotso Twagirayezu to start her own fragrance line about four years.
Shedol Fragrances and Cosmetics produce perfumes, soaps, body cream and body scrubs. The flavours include honey and oats, tee tree and moringa as well as morula and shea butter.
Doing it on her spare time, she started off with some research on the Internet and also inquired from people who were already in the industry about perfume making.
"My love for smelling good really inspired my business venture. Everyone wants to smell good, but mostly it is not cheap hence the reason why I decided to venture into the market and accommodate the middle and lower class by giving them affordable perfumes," she said. Getting the first product on the market was not easy as she nearly gave up her dream. Twagirayezu said she started off buying the required ingredients from South Africa, got bottles ready for packaging and also printed some stickers to brand the bottles.
"By then I did five fragrances and had 100 bottles to package my product. After mixing as per the requirements, I had to leave the mixture for three months because they said the longer it stays the better the smell. There was a time when I got anxious and wanted to open (the mixture)," she said.
After three months, she was pleased with the outcome and took her product to the streets.
By then she encountered
The determined Twagirayezu bounced back with an aggressive marketing strategy. She invaded the social media landscape opening Facebook and Instagram pages for her business. She also rebranded her products to make them more appealing.
Her aggressive marketing paid off as she started meeting her targets. Apart from delivering using her car, she would also have stalls at Game City shopping mall every month end.Late last year she managed to open a Kiosk at the same mall and also introduced her body lotion range. The sky is the limit for Twagirayezu who said she is currently pursuing to have her products in retail stores across the country adding that she is already in talks with some.
"I am also for empowering other small businesses, most of the ingredients I use are locally sourced and even I get the lemon from my grandmother's garden," she said.

Sea-Going Research and Discovery
For nearly a decade, the University of Washington has been actively engaging students in the at-sea experiential learning program 'VISIONS'. Since 2010, over 150 undergraduate and graduate have participated in this uniquely interdisciplinary, hands-on at-sea course that provides training in research related to many important oceanographic processes operating within the Northeast Pacific ocean and on the seafloor. The oceanographic expeditions are an important component of the National Science Foundations' Ocean Observatories Initiative Regional Cabled Array (RCA) operations and maintenance cruises using the global class research ships the R/V Thompson (UW), the R/V Revelle (SIO), and in 2019, the R/V Atlantis (WHOI). All cruises utilize state-of-the-art underwater robotic vehicles (ROV) that allow students to directly witness some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Their fascination and enthusiasm for this region of hydrothermal activity, underwater volcanoes, methane seeps, methane ice deposits, and exotic life forms has continually inspired them to find ways to share their explorations and discoveries during research expeditions with audiences around the world.
During ~10 day to >5 week durations at sea, the students work alongside experienced scientists, engineers and the ship's crew to gain at-sea and research experience using advanced oceanographic research instruments. Students conduct their own research using data collected with some of these tools and data streamed live at the speed of light from >140 RCA instruments directly connected to the Internet on shore. This summer the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Cabled Array VISIONS'19 cruise will be aboard the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution research ship the R/V Atlantis (hosting the deep-diving submersible Alvin), and will include the ROV Jason. The cruise will be from May 29 to July 6th and will include a team of scientists from the College of the Environment – School of Oceanography, engineers from the Applied Physcis Laboratory, and professors from Grays Harbor College. Over 20 graduate and undergraduate students will participate on this cruise.
Visit the Expeditions link on this website for past cruises in which students have participated. During the VISIONS'19 Expedition, 19 undergraduate and graduate students will participate in this experiential learning program.

You don´t know where to put your Smartphone during charging?
One of your prior phones fell down to the ground and your display was broken while charging?

PlugHack is a mini dockingstation for your smartphone.
It´s designed to fit for most common chargers, microUSB´s and phones.
Your phone can´t fall down if the microUSB is SAFE connected to it.
PlugHack is printed in 4 Parts:
- PlugHack itself
- Screw M6
- Screw M12
- Clamp
The first part should be printed in the position that the last picture shows. Otherwise the thread will not work (at least with my printer).

So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people. 2 Samuel 8:15
Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. Galatians 6:9-10
You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you. Matthew 5:38-42
For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in his mouth and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously. 1Peter 2:21-23
Today's thoughts from today's verses:
Table games are a common pastime. Play in most games proceeds from left to right. This is true in cards as well, except in one popular game. That game is Uno. While play starts left to right, it doesn't stay that way. Throughout the course of the game the direction of play will change many times. This is because included in the deck are a number of "Reverse" cards that when played call for an immediate reversal in the direction of play. Just when we think it is our turn to play, the person next to us plays a "Reverse" card and the game moves away from us in the other direction. Jesus often used "reverse" cards in His teaching ministry while He was here. Jesus did this because He wanted His followers to live life in a different way than the conventional way. In the sermon on the mount Jesus uses the following format: "you have heard that it was said" / "but I say to you." This is so very much like playing a "Reverse" card and He does it five times in a row.
The Matthew passage above is one of the five "Reverse" cards that Jesus played in the sermon on the mount. At the time when Jesus was here on earth "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" was the conventional approach for responding to those who do evil. For Jesus to say, "do not resist (fight against) an evil person" as an alternative approach was very much like spitting in the wind – seemingly not much chance of His words getting to where they need to be – into the hearts and lives of His listeners. Talk about spitting in the wind. How about for us, particularly with all that is going on in our country and around the world? How does this alternate approach Jesus calls us to, play out for us right now with those who do evil? This is the focus of this week's Devotionals.
Today's prayer response from today's thoughts:
Lord, I am your follower and I want to pay full attention to your Word. Following in your steps and obeying your word put me on a radical path in regard to how I treat others. I recognize how readily I expect exactness in how others should be dealt with while expecting leniency for myself. For the sake of your kingdom please change me into one who does not resist the evil ways of others but readily bestows kindness on them no matter what. Amen!

By Wang Jun
QINGDAO, Feb. 15 (ChinaMil) -- According to the local media report, a warship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy named after Lhasa, capital of Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region in southwest China, was recently unveiled in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province.
"A 10,000-tonne guided-missile destroyer of the PLA Navy has been named Lhasa" said the Civil Affairs Bureau of Lhasa in late 2018 in responding to a letter asking about the naming progress.
The letter said, "Regarding the naming of destroyers, presently Lhasa has lagged behind the other provincial capitals. As far as I know, warships Urumqi, Hohhot and Xining have been named and put into service... As a citizen of Lhasa, I hope that the civil affairs department can speed up the work of naming a destroyer with Lhasa, which will be of great importance to promoting Lhasa, a world-famous tourist destination. Therefore, submitting a naming application to the PLA Navy as soon as possible is a surefire way. Neither the citizens of Lhasa nor the Tibetans can afford to wait."
The Civil Affairs Bureau of Lhasa published its reply to the letter on December 19, 2018 on the Municipal Government of Lhasa's website under 'The Mayor's Mailbox' column: "A 10,000-tonne Type 055 guided-missile destroyer has been named Lhasa after negotiation with the PLA Navy."
The above-mentioned 10,000-tonne warship is PLA Navy's new-generation destroyer, the Type 055 guided-missile destroyer. On June 28, 2017, the first of China's Type 055 guided-missile destroyer held its launching ceremony at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai.
Equipped with new air defense, anti-missile, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons, the home-built warship has made a series of breakthroughs in key technologies such as overall design, information integration and assembly construction for large-size warships. The warship is characterized by strong information perception, air defense and anti-missile as well as maritime strike capabilities. It serves as a landmark for the strategic transformation and development of the PLA Navy.
Apart from Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd., Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. which is under China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) is also undertaking the construction of Type 055 guided-missile destroyers, two of which were launched simultaneously in July 2018.

There aren't enough hours in the day.
This would be true, even if you lived on Mars.
Work expands to fill the time available, no matter how much time you have.
At the same time, most of us aren't totally aware of how we're using time — or wasting it.
With a few small changes, you can steal back an hour or so of your workday, every day, and use it on whatever you please.
(Something non-work-related, ideally.)
1. Track your time usage.
One of the best ways to figure out where your time is going is to keep a diary. For a day or a week, write down everything you do and how much time it takes.
Be honest: if you're checking Facebook, even if it's only for a minute, write down that you're checking Facebook. You might be surprised how many minutes you're losing here and there to things like social media or checking email.
2. Batch tasks.
What do making dinner and compiling reports have in common? Both are loathsome tortures invented by people who hate fun. (Just kidding, cooking aficionados and report lovers. Sort of.)
The good news is that tasks like these can take less time, if you group them together. Batching tasks so that you're working on similar things, one after another, minimizes the mental energy loss that happens when you change gears and helps you concentrate on what you're doing.
Try answering emails at set intervals, a few times a day. Spend Sunday making a week's worth of dinners and freeze them for the week ahead. Don't be tempted to think you can multitask. Most of us can't. It's science!
3. Be less available.
You train people how to treat you. That goes for your coworkers and your boss as much as your partner or your best friend.
If you want to have the evening to spend with your family, don't give in to the impulse to check your work email right before dinner. If you want to get time off, take your vacation time.
Some employers do have legitimately demanding expectations for how their workers use their "off time" — but many of us beat them to the punch by asking too much of ourselves. You need time away from the office. It will get easier to take that time once everyone is used to the fact that you don't answer email at 4 a.m.
4. Park your phone.
It's 10 p.m.: Do you know where your phone is? Of course you do. It's probably in your hand as we speak.
That's a problem, because even if you're playing games or noodling around on Twitter, you're just a click away from your work email, and all the potential trouble it brings.
Even if you have an iron will and know you won't look, you need time away from your screens in order to truly unwind. It's good for your eyes, too.
5. Take time off.
Working too long and too hard diminishes productivity and makes life less fun, at home and at the office. To do your best work, you need time away.
So take your vacations and jealously guard your evening and weekend time. It's in your employer's best interest, as well as your own.
Well-rested, you can do more work in less time, which means that you'll have more hours, even in a normal workday.

While perusing the dried snack/nuts aisle at one of my local Trader Joe's, I noticed bags of Chile Spiced Mango slices on the shelf and thought I'd give them a whirl. Hey, I'm all for combining spice and heat with just about food item, including ones that are predominantly sweet. Some of these types of culinary partnerings are successful, while others are a complete flop. Trader Joe's Chile Spiced Mango slices fall somewhere in the middle.
Dried mango slices, sugar, paprika, salt, citric acid, and cayenne
The aroma given off by the open bag was light yet borderline unpleasant. Strong paprika odors were accented by mild sugary and fruit smells. I advise not to linger with your nose stuck in the bag; just get down to business and start eating.
Texture and Appearance
The slices ranged from one to two inches in length and a little over 1/8 of an inch in thickness. The dark reddish-orange chile spice and light salt were clearly visible all over each piece of mango, which when combined with citric acid and natural mango stickiness give the snack a gritty, messy feel when handling. Be sure to have a few napkins or even a wet wipe handy when consuming a bunch of these – you'll need 'em if you don't want to have orange fingers!
The paprika is a bit overpowering. I would have preferred less of this and more of a pure fiery, peppery kick. The mango brings a nice sweetness to the mix. The chewiness of the fruit is about right – it's not too tough and it's not too soft and limpy. The aforementioned grittiness is noticeable, too (neither an asset nor a liability in my opinion).
Like I've mentioned, this could have had less of the milder paprika taste and more of a straight, cayenne heat blast. The hotness would register around 1.5 on a scale from 1 to 5. I'm guessing the mango's sweetness would have still been able to balance out any additional fire.
A nicely designed label that fits well with the rest of the Trader Joe's line of snacks. It has a faded background illustration of a mango and a cayenne pepper.
These Chile Spiced Mango slices aren't bad at all and are worth a try, but I certainly wasn't impressed. If you like mango (especially the dried variety) then these may be down your alley. Personally, I'll just stick to Trader Joe's regular sweetened & dried mango slices.
You can pick up a bag at a Trader Joe's near you. If you're not sure where a store is, you can have a look on their website's locator: http://www.traderjoes.com/locations.asp

There's No "M.D." in Government
While I personally believe that the federal government needs to play an important role in the promotion and establishment of universal health care (that is, facilitating and making sure that everyone has health care coverage, but not necessarily paying for everyone as a single payer), I am amazed by the many instances in which government officials have severely damaged the practice of medicine in the U.S during the Bush Administration. I will mention just a handful that particularly bother me at this time due to their blatant impositions of government authority in medical decisions.
The Current Issue: Partial-Birth Abortion
On April 18, 2007, the Supreme Court upheld the 2003 Partial-Birth Abortion Act in the court case Gonzales vs. Carhart that bans D&X, the safest procedure used in second-trimester abortions. Previously, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of partial-birth abortion, until Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appealed the decision and brought it in front of the Supreme Court. The 2003 act was pushed through Congress through the leadership of Senator Bill Frist.
The ruling by the Supreme Court "allows" D&X to be used in cases where the mother's life is "in imminent danger," but for no other reason, including in cases where the pregnancy is just "threatening her health." A series of editorials in this week's New England Journal of Medicine strongly question this decision, particularly since there is no specification of what degree of mortal risk permits the procedure. The Supreme Court ruling endangers physicians who are involved in reproductive health by further exposing them to prosecution based on an act with vague definitions of what is permissible, what isn't permissible, and when and where the act applies. Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Drazen, M.D., asserts that the Judicial branch has joined the Legislative Branch in trying to "practice medicine without a license," owing to the interference in medical decisions by both branches of government at the expense of the health of patients.
The act states:
(1) A moral, medical, and ethical consensus exists that the practice of performing a partial-birth abortion — an abortion in which a physician delivers an unborn child's body until only the head remains inside the womb, punctures the back of the child's skull with a sharp instrument, and sucks the child's brains out before completing delivery of the dead infant — is a gruesome and inhumane procedure that is never medically necessary and should be prohibited.
(2) Rather than being an abortion procedure that is embraced by the medical community, particularly among physicians who routinely perform other abortion procedures, partial-birth abortion remains a disfavored procedure that is not only unnecessary to preserve the health of the mother, but in fact poses serious risks to the long-term health of women and in some circumstances, their lives. As a result, at least 27 States banned the procedure as did the United States Congress which voted to ban the procedure during the 104th, 105th, and 106th Congresses.
and furthermore:
An abortion in which the person performing the abortion, deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother, for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus; and performs the overt act, other than completion of delivery, that kills the partially delivered living fetus.
The Key Players:
Shameful and Knowing It
1. U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
That Gonzales has taken on the cause of fighting abortion rights signifies his departure from his prior personal convictions in order to serve as one of President Bush's many yes-men. He, in fact, was perceived as being in favor of abortion rights, a notion that drew opposition from Republicans prior to his appointment. His term as Attorney General, however, has thus far been marked by conduct consistent with the often inconsistent, incompetent and undeniably frustrating manner exhibited by many Bush appointees. For example, during his testimony in front of Congress on April 19 about the questionable dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys, he stated 71 times in response to questions that he had no memory regarding events surrounding the dismissals. On another occasion, he stated in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee that the U.S Constitution does not guarantee habeas corpus, a statement that was immediately questioned by Senator Arlen Specter.
2. Senator Bill Frist, M.D.
More disturbing on this topic is the conduct of Senator Frist, not only in pushing forth the Partial-Birth Abortion Act of 2003 (as representing the "consensus" of moral, medical, and ethical opinion) but also in his conduct as a representative of the medical communty with Congress. As a physician and the Senate Majority Leader, Senator Frist played a very influential and controversial role as the voice of the American medical community within the Legislative branch of the federal government. However, on numerous occasions, he misled Congress. The most public and obvious of these was in the case of Terri Shiavo, a woman who was in a persistent vegetative state. Dr. Frist, after viewing a home video from Shiavo's parents (who wanted to keep her on life support indefinitely, unlike her husband, who petitioned to a Florida court to determine whether or not she would have wanted to have life support removed) stated in a speech to Congress that he did not think she was in a persistent vegetative state (a state, unlike coma, from which there is virtually no possibility of recovering consciousness). Although the Florida 6th Circuit court determined that there was convincing evidence from numerous statements and accounts from people close to Shiavo that she would want to have life support removed, Governor Jeb Bush and Congress swooped in to stop the removal of life support. The Republican-led Congress went so far as to subpoena Terri Shiavo and her husband to testify in front of Congress, noting that her inability to do anything would mean that she would be held in contempt of Congress and this would effectively block any attempts to remove her feeding tube.
This is a CT Scan, the left showing a normal 25-year-old's brain and the right showing Shiavo's brain in 2002, three years before she was allowed to die. Now, a neurologist, or even a first year medical student, could tell that someone cannot recover consciousness with that extent of damage to the cerebral cortex. There simply aren't enough neurons there. Despite this, Dr. Frist compromised his integrity as a physician by disputing the assessment of the Shiavo's neurologists and effectively asserting to Congress that Shiavo had a chance of regaining consciousness and should not be taken off life support. Not to mention that Dr. Frist is a cardiothoracic surgeon. Now, specialist physicians do have knowledge outside their own specialties, but typically, it's worth deferring to the opinion of a specialist in the field in question (i.e. the neurologist for neurological issues).
Dr. Frist doesn't represent the medical community, and if anything, seems to have done a disservice to medicine and patients. While he may have been an excellent physician prior to his political career, it seems that he has taken considerable measures toward rejecting the professional integrity with which physicians are supposed to conduct themselves in order to further his political career. This is quite unfortunate, because his example will undoubtedly discourage other more credible physicians from pursuing political careers with ideal aims.
Strong Enough to Brave the Fire
Dr. LeRoy Carhart – I know nothing about this man, except that he is a practicing physician who has taken a stand on a highly-charged, political issue with profound impact on his practice of medicine. Dr. Carhart is one of three abortion providers in the state of Nebraska, and he challenged the 2003 Partial-Birth Abortion ban in the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. Like many abortion providers, he has been the target of violence: at least on one occasion, arsonists (presumably anti-abortion activists) set fire to his house and farm, killing pets and livestock and destroying much property.
Nonetheless, he is still pursuing this cause: not out of financial profit or because he hates babies, but probably because he believes that there are real-life situations where mothers must choose abortion in order to avoid serious risks to their health (not just lethal risks). After all, how can one expect a mother to be able to take care of her child if she is severely debilitated by the pregnancy? Would the child, looking back at the situation after birth, even have wanted to be born under those conditions? These risks to health may not be apparent until the second trimester, and the risk to life may not fully develop until after the second trimester. What then? The Supreme Court and Congress have just given this woman a death sentence – or the physician a prison term for trying to save her life.
I have profound respect for abortion providers. No doctor delights in killing. But good doctors do uphold the wishes of their patients that correspond with improvements in happiness and health, even if it means ending life. One major change in the provision of end-of-life care is the emphasis on patient autonomy: if a patient would die without life support and expresses that desire (himself/herself, through a power of attorney or living will, or if sufficient evidence is demonstrated of that desire), then physicians must allow the patient to die rather than needlessly take heroic measures to keep him/her alive. In a way, this is exactly what Congress and the Supreme Court have done during the Bush administration: take heroic measures to preserve life, at the expense of the wishes of the patients.
Concluding Thoughts
My political views tend toward the liberal, but my approach tends to be more moderate. I listen to both conservative and liberal views, as there is wisdom to gain from all sides and progress to be made in the space between. However, several changes to medical practice enforced by Bush administration-led entities have constituted serious breaches into the doctor-patient relationship and the ability of doctors to provide services to patients. Unless the medical community and its allies inside and outside government take a stand, this trend may just get worse. My hope is that future presidential administrations have more foresight and respect for patients, particularly women. This administration has, through its appointments in the Supreme Court and the FDA and through Congress, shown contempt for both women and the autonomy and authority of physicians in medical decision-making. If we know any better, we won't let this happen again.

Buying your first home is a very exciting time, but just like a freshman entering high school for the first time, it can be confusing and throw unexpected things your way. Don't be caught in a whirlwind of unexpected costs and fees and educate yourself with the homebuying process.
Cheyenne is a great location to settle and set your roots down in — there is the beautiful great outdoors and in-town attractions that boast Cheyenne as one of the best small towns to live in! At Homes By Guardian, we're here to support home buyers with all experience — from new to the seasoned. Find expert advice on and how to strategize hidden costs in today's post.
The New Home Price is As Advertised, Right?
When preparing to purchase your first home, there is much more involved than putting in an offer and having it accepted — there can be many hidden costs involved that you may have not planned for. So, with some smart strategizing and planning, you can be prepared and able to conquer unforeseen costs.
Costs to Expect in a New Home
News to newbs — the homebuying costs don't stop at the down payment. Typically homeowners insurance, closing costs, and lender and appraisal fees are all lumped together in the initial process so those won't be too far off base, but anything else and you may start to see hidden costs.
What affects the costs?
If you're moving into a new home sometimes you can negotiate appliances, but most likely you'll have to supply your own, and they're not the cheapest things to have to buy brand new. Common appliances include a dishwasher, refrigerator, and washer and dryer — expect to pay a minimum of $5,000 to furnish your new home with basic appliances.
You'll also be responsible for urgent improvements that may be needed, unless they were negotiated in the price. Most home builders are upfront with any issues, but always hire a home inspector (an additional cost) to ensure that everything is good to go and your stairs won't cave in the moment you move in!
It's important to take this step no matter how much you love the house because your excitement can be clouded and miss faulty wiring and or a weak foundation that isn't typically covered in homeowner insurance.
The Cost of Comfort
Perhaps you came from a home where water and trash were paid for or you were in a smaller space, so gas and electrical were minimal. Realize that living in comfort comes with its own costs. If you just bought a home with exquisite wood flooring and vaulted ceilings, be prepared to pay a premium to heat and cool the home — as Cheyenne has four seasons and see extreme lows in the winter and highs in the summer. Just as a rule, expect your utilities to be quite a bit higher than if you were renting before.
There are also little things like paying for cable and internet, and everyone's favorite fee, the HOA costs!
Strategies to Combat Hidden Costs
The best offense in combating hidden costs is through proper planning and research. This means budgeting for the known and unknown. Consider the worst case scenario in your home buying situation and research costs of new appliances, electrical rewiring, and what other improvements may cost.
The positive perspective in this is, the more you research, plan, and budget, the less shocked or overburdened you'll feel. And, if everything goes as planned, you'll have money left over for a rainy day!
