Find more inspiration to energize your fitness regimen at Qualcomm.com. Music to Power Your Workout Enjoy stereo-quality sound wherever your workout takes you with a state-of-the-art smartphone like the Motorola Edge+ Gen 2, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Mobile Platform. Giving you up to two full days of power, lightning-fast speeds and proquality features for doing more of what you love, this smartphone can provide music that motivates you regardless of your exercise style. When it’s time to rest and recover, you can enjoy days of entertainment on a beautiful display that wraps around the edges. Sound to Motivate More Movement An energizing workout requires a soundtrack to get you pumped up and moving. Enhance your listening experience with LG Tone Free T90 wireless earbuds, which feature Dolby Head Tracking and Snapdragon Sound. These earbuds identify the location of sound as you turn your head, recalibrating to enable a more natural sound experience so you’re always in the center of the scene. The speaker driver is made of a strong, lightweight material that delivers better overall audio clarity and reduced vibration so you can hear every sound come alive. Exceptional audio combines with superior connectivity for music, movies, crystal-clear voice calls, gaming and a low latency fit for aptX Adaptive compatible devices. A Smart Workout Buddy If you’re always on the go, a powerful smartphone is a smart way to get in a streamlined workout. An option like the OnePlus 10T 5G delivers on multiple levels. Driven by the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform, this is a phone built to evolve beyond speed. It has Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 for premium Wi-Fi connectivity and a Kryo CPU for unbeatable performance, ideal for multitaskers and power users. The charging system delivers a day’s power in 10 minutes. What’s more, the antenna system, featuring a total of 15 antennas, provides a
360-degree closed-loop system to avoid blind signal angles, while simple and textured visuals help you focus and move seamlessly between work, rest and play. Play Your Way to Fitness If your workout regimen needs an infusion of playful fun, the Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset may be just the ticket. This VR headset is your ticket to the metaverse (and so much more), whether you’re working out, gaming, meeting up with friends or going on a virtual field trip. Industry-leading graphics and immersive audio put you in the middle of the action. The portable device is ideal for workouts on the go, and you’ll find a wide range of apps that let you work out amid stunning scenery, compete against friends and participate in challenges. The immersive experiences break up the monotony of a boring, basic workout, making exercise fun and playful. Wellness You Can Watch Powered by the Snapdragon 4100+ Wear Platform, the Fossil 6 Wellness Edition watch provides the speed, power and performance you need to efficiently track your health, all with extended battery life, Bluetooth 5.0 LE connectivity, rapid charging and more features to elevate your experience. The watch detects movement and starts a workout for you. In addition, not only does it allow you to monitor how hard your heart is working and provide estimated blood oxygen measurements so you can see how well your body is circulating oxygen, but it also measures your cardiorespiratory fitness, allowing you to track the amount of oxygen your body utilizes during exercise. In addition to keeping tabs on your active hours, the watch also helps you understand more about your sleep habits, including sleep quality and history, restfulness and progress against sleep goals. Track Your Progress Setting fitness goals starts with a plan and achieving them requires strong work ethic and, just as importantly, the ability to track progress so you can enjoy the success. The ultimate expression of ultra-portability and versatility, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook is powered by the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 Compute Platform. Slim and sleek, this 2-in-1 features a detachable keyboard to transform from a tablet to a laptop so you can keep an eye on your fitness goals whether you’re working out at home or on the go, and 15 hours of battery life means you can enjoy usage from day to night.
Sand Ridge Audubon Society News The Sand Ridge Audubon Society announces the National Annual Christmas Bird Count: The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is an annual census of birds in the Western Hemisphere, performed in the early winter by volunteer birdwatchers and administered by the National Audubon Society. The purpose is to provide population data for use in science, especially conservation biology. The CBC is the longest running citizen science survey in the world. Our own Calumet City/Sand Ridge Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count takes place on Saturday, December 31, 2022. If interested, contact lead compiler: John Elliott 708386-4909 or johnelliott4@gmail.com (55 Years of Counting—a Banner Achievement!) You will be part of not only local history, but a great tradition that began in the early days of the American conservation movement. This will be the 122st year for the National Audubon bird count. All Christmas Bird Counts are conducted between December 14 to January 5 each year. You can join as many counts as you wish! The next meeting of the Society will be on Friday, January 6, 2023 at 7 pm. Our speaker for the evening will be Grace Kruse, who works with the National Park Service and travelled to Iceland recently; she’ll show a slide presentation from her fascinating trip. February 7th program will be presented by Rex Burns who installed solar panels last year on his and Mrs. Burris’ home. Rex will talk about costs of going solar, savings, and how others can take advantage of solar energy. March 3- Michael Boos, who heads up the Association for the Wolf Lake Initiative, will talk about Wolf Lake and the bird populations there at Wm. Powers State Recreation Area. He has authored three books: “Naked! One of 13,” “Over the Line,”
and “Where’s Mike?” Mike will tell about a film being produced chronicling the history and significance of Wolf Lake and its environs. April 14- (Note date change for April meeting) ) Lansing author Carrie Steinweg will be talking about some of her numerous books, giving them a local twist. Carrie is a freelance writer, photographer, author, and food and travel blogger who has lived in Lansing for 27 years. She most enjoys writing about food, people, history, and baseball. May 5th - Alex Ross, author of the local Nature Book, “Between Home and the Highland Rookery,” will be our speaker. Alex is an amateur Nature Photographer and Graphic Designer who captures the natural beauty that can be found in the region. The first printing of his fascinating book is selling out quickly! Every year in June, we end our meeting year with a picnic and a program featuring photographs taken by members. Now is the time to start adding new pictures to your collection. Get out your phone or camera or even your video cam, and record what you see in the nature around you that is remarkable, beautiful, or just plain odd. Have you visited a natural area that is off the beaten path? Seen some particularly lovely fall colors, sunsets, spring flowers, birds at your feeders… record them and share with the rest of us. Make notes about where and when you saw something. 2022 SRAS Meetings at Sand Ridge Nature Center: 1st Fridays at 7pm; September thru June (unless that day falls on a holiday weekend, in which case it moves to the next week). Please note the April Meeting will be on Friday April 14 due to the observance of Good Friday. For further information about the Sand Ridge Audubon Society, call Karen at 219-718-3451.
