Category : Art & Culture
KAB18 is a story of transmission from one generation of artists to the next. Unlike the common format of major biennales which historically show and promote the best of their time, as a platform where professionals and the market can come and choose the next big artist, KAB18 is choosing a format vehicles our continent's original values of sharing and transferring knowledge. Thus, 2018 will take on a master / apprentice format to allow for the transmission of artistic skill from international contemporary art masters to young artists. This is especially crucial as it evokes the traditional African transfer of knowledge from the experienced to the future generation.
For KAB18, Simon Njami invites 7 internationally renown artists to open their studios in Kampala to young Ugandan, African and international artists.

My Rating: ★★★★★
Genre(s): Young Adult
Plot: [Copied from Goodreads] The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, messy, affectionate. And every day from her rooftop perch, Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs up next to her and changes everything. As the two fall fiercely for each other, stumbling through the awkwardness and awesomeness of first love, Jase's family embraces Samantha – even as she keeps him a secret from her own. Then something unthinkable happens, and the bottom drops out of Samantha's world. She's suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?
- I come from a HUGE family, and the Garretts are spot on chaos-wise
- It was believable
- I really felt for Samantha when she was being torn between her mother and Jase
- The synopsis said there was an accident, but that was not what I expected
- I had a lot of feels while reading this book; Jase and Samantha were cute
- Each and every one of Jase's siblings
- I hated Clay with a firey passion
- So much negativity about breastfeeding
- Nan is kind of a twat
- Insta-love isn't always the best
- "His bed's really comfortable. And he never pees in it."
- "I lie on top of him, skin to skin. He's tall, I'm not, but when we lie like this, we fit together. All the curves of my body relax into the strength of his."
- "Feel sorry for anyone who thinks what they think is right should be some universal law"
- "It is as if everything else in the world stops as we lie here in the summer night."
- "It's like Tim's drowning and they're worried about the color of his swimsuit."
- "I nod, trying to swallow the barbed wire caught in my throat."
My Thoughts: At first, this book really pissed me the eff off.When breastfeeding is portrayed negatively in pop culture, it sends a message to young people that it's unnatural or gross or whatever. So that pissed me off. I was able to get past that, though, once I actually started getting into the plot.This book is a trip. It kind of started out slow, but then it was go, go, go and so many curveballs were thrown. I'm not a huge fan of insta-love, but I really loved Jase and Sam so I'm willing to overlook it in this case.
This book is all about making your own choices and doing what you feel is right, and I'm glad that I read it at an age where I'm able to understand all of this, even the mothers' feelings.
I definitely recommend this book.

Unopposed candidate has plenty of ideas for schools
CHAMPAIGN — Without a single opponent running against him for a two-year unexpired term on the Champaign school board, Jonathan Westfield isn't sweating the results on Election Day.
But, while he may be a shoo-in for the board's shortest term, that doesn't mean the father of five's plans for his time as an elected official are small.
With the goal of looking long and hard at creative ways to address over-capacity issues in Unit 4 schools, Westfield says he's open to exploring any "sound" option, even the possibility of building a third Champaign public high school in the future.
"I'd really like us to explore greater options in education and expanding what we do. The city of Champaign in the next 20 years will reach 100,000 population and we will no longer be a two-high-school community, we'll need three," he said.
And Westfield has big dreams for what a three-high-school community could look like.
"We could completely change the way we use education in our community. Instead of continuing with the routine, standard high school programming, why not devote each high school to a different idea? Similar to what we see in our magnet elementary schools," he said. "We could have a STEM high school, a creative arts school and a vocational training school so the kids that aren't interested in going to college could have the opportunity to explore other fields."
But Westfield doesn't propose rushing into any major decisions without proper planning. That's why he doesn't support the $144 million school facilities proposal Unit 4 will put on the April 7 ballot.
"We do need a new high school, no doubt. I know this has been eight years in the making, but right now it seems a little rushed. I think we need to take more time and explore more options," he said. "The effort to add Dr. Howard seems like an appeasement to get those parents to support it. Schools like Dr. Howard and Edison, our century-old buildings, should have been included from the start."
As a school resource officer at Edison Middle School (he is currently on leave to recover from an injury), Westfield acknowledges he's partial to that building, but says the insight he's gathered from spending each day inside of a school will offer the board a unique perspective.
"I get to spend a lot of time inside the schools with students, staff and parents. I get to see the daily workings of the school environment," he said, adding that connection with the kids — and parents — is what prompted him to run in the first place.
If the $144 million ballot question fails next month, Westfield says he is all for a plan that "takes the whole community into consideration" in terms of location and programming for a new Central High School.
"I believe in this community and what Unit 4 can provide. I think we really all need to reconnect. Over the years, we've sort of drifted apart," he said. "It's important we all come back together as one because education touches every aspect of life in Champaign."
Other issues Westfield would like to address during his time on the board: growing strong academic programing for pre-K through third grade, reevaluating the impacts and necessity of standardized tests and helping the community "take pride" in the school district.
He said he decided to run for the two-year term to see how it would work with his family life. And if things run smoothly, "I can always run again."
"I've had the opportunity to sit down and meet and talk with all the candidates running and I was just amazed at how we all seemed to share ideas," he said. "I'm really looking forward to the new configuration of the school board."

Grow your readership. Increase productivity.
Create a strategy for long-term success.
Build a profitable, successful career as a novelist.
Do you ever feel like:
YOU'VE WRITTEN A GREAT STORY, but aren't sure what to do next?
YOU HAVE A PLETHORA OF STRATEGIES on now to sell your story, but really, you'd like to know how to implement these ideas (and which ones actually work!)
YOU WORK WAY TOO HARD for too little success. (Even though you're not afraid of hard work, you'd like to see a return on your time and investment!)
YOU WANT MORE READERS, but aren't sure how to get them.
I GET IT. I started writing while living in Siberia. (not kidding).
You can't get more alone, frustrated and confused than trying to learn a craft and launch a book in a snowy, remote tundra. But fifteen years and 62 books later, I've coached thousands of students on how to write an amazing book, and how to plan and implement a strategy to create amazing careers.
See, I've learn a few things, and I'd like to help you.
Would you like to dig into the strategies and advice of a USA Today best-selling, hybrid author, with feedback, hotseats and master classes?
In short--would you like a partner to help you build a brilliant, successful, impactful career as a novelist?
A year from now you could have one--or maybe a series--of books on the indie market, already earning revenue. And you'll do them right--with a plan, a great cover, editing, and a marketing strategy that wins.
Or, your amazing story is in the hands of an agent or editor, making the rounds at publishers, while you hunker down to write another bestseller, because you've learned how to be ultra-productive with your time and creativity.
Or maybe, you've taken that backlist of out-of-print books, resurrected them and used them to gain new readers, which has exploded your readership--and your income on those formerly "dead" books.
And along the way, you've learned to think like a business person, to look at the fine print of contracts, hire designers, editors, spend smart money on the right advertising and navigate with pizzazz social media without it taking you away from your writing life.
In short, you're publishing your books. Making money. Building a readership and nailing that novel career.
Yeah, that's what I imagine for you, too.
In Novel Career we work on 3 areas:
A BUSINESS STRATEGY that works for your personality. You need to live your life and enjoy your relationships as well as your work. We focus on projects that bring joy--because if you bring that passion and joy to your story, it'll show. We'll talk about the kind of books you write, the genre, the style, the length and create a strategy perfect for YOU.
INCREASING READERSHIP. You'll grow your audience through social media, creating the right freebie, newsletter engagement and other strategies that we'll walk you through, step-by-step to help you implement. You'll learn the why's, too, so you know which ones are best for you.
MAKING SALES. We'll help you explode your sales through marketing, back cover copy, listing information (keywords, categories, pricing strategies). advertising and book launches. And if you're in the traditional market, I'll teach you how to work with your publisher to maximize your marketing.
Well....the best way I know to help you is to do this face to face.
(Sort of...because I can' come to your house.)
But, we can hang out weekly during our amazing 1-hour Thursday night video Peptalks. We talk about everything from Business strategy to marketing to writing craft (and have a lot of fun networking too!)
And, you can access the vault of Novel.Academy classes on writing, the creative life, business strategy and fan building ...hours and hours of workshops for every part of your writing life. Check out vault of past Peptalks/classes here!
The Nitty-Gritty:
MONTHLY LIVE MASTERCLASS In these interactive and actionable classes, Susie May will dive into topics such as productivity, marketing, writing craft, business tools, social media trends--everything you need to stay on the leading edge of the publishing world. If you can't make the class live, you can catch the replay after! We'll add one class/month to our Novel Career vault!
MONTHLY FEEDBACK! Would you like to have your cover, description, marketing plan, strategy or any publishing problems solved? We're here to help! Every month, during one of our Peptalks, we'll answer your questions on writing and current business problems. A great way to learn from others, and get the focused help you need.
WEEKLY WRITING, MARKETING, PRODUCTIVITY AND BUSINESS Encouragement. Small changes for big success, but every Monday, you'll get weekly ideas that will encourage your writing life, build powerful techniques for success and help you stay focused.
Q & A in the PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP. You're not alone. Post your questions, frustration, even brainstorming needs in the Novel.Academy group...anything you need to keep you on track!

Action poolside at the Counsilman Classic
4/3/2004 10:36 PM Updated 4/3/2004 10:38 PM
INDIANAPOLIS — Three-time Olympic champion
Lenny Krayzelburg followed his plan Saturday night. He did just enough
to qualify for the 100-meter backstroke finals, then did what was
necessary in the championship heat.
"I have the luxury where I don't have to go all out in the morning," Krayzelburg said. "But it always looks good when you drop a second and a half, too."
Krayzelburg won three gold medals at the Sydney Olympics and became the third American to sweep the 100 and 200 backstroke. He also won a gold in the 400 medley relay.
Since then, though, he has battled injuries more than he has swimmers and although he's still been competitive, he qualified in an uncharacteristic 56.50. The time and the victory also gave him a boost of confidence as he prepares for July's Olympic Trials in Long Beach, Calif.
"I know I made a couple of mistakes," he said, saying that cost him another two-tenths of a second. "So I'm right there in the high 54s, and I'm pretty excited about it."
Krayzelburg's performance topped a night when Olympic medalists dominated. Four gold medalists from 2000 won events, including Lindsay Benko, who took the 400 freestyle for her second straight win. Jenny Thompson also has two wins. She won the 100 butterfly Friday night and the 50 freestyle Saturday.
But America's top swimmer, Michael Phelps, wasn't among the winners — or the competitors.
After getting sick during the 200 freestyle final Friday, Phelps withdrew from his second final — the 400 individual medley. On Saturday, he was held out of two more events, the 200 butterfly and the 200 breaststroke.
"I let him sleep today," coach Bob Bowman said. "We'll see how he does. We're going to let him rest and get his strength back as much as he can today."
Phelps said he slept for about 14 hours before testing himself in the pool just before the finals began. Afterward, he said he was feeling better and that he expects to swim Sunday in the 200 backstroke and the 100 freestyle. He still has not decided if he will swim the 800 freestyle relay.
If he tries the relay, he would be swimming in three straight events, something rarely attempted but a good test for Phelps, who some expect to challenge Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals in one Olympic games.
"I think this may have helped in the long run," he said. "If I'm in the same situation again, I've already had one experience like this. I'm happy with how the swim felt, but I'm disappointed I didn't get to swim the IM or this morning."
The biggest surprise of the night belonged to 15-year-old Elaine Breeden of Lexington, Ky., who defeated two Olympic hopefuls in the 200 butterfly with what she called the biggest win of her career.
Breeden used a strong push off the final turn to rally in the final 50 meters and move past Misty Hyman, a 2000 Olympic medalist, and Dana Kirk, considered a top Olympic contender, in 2 minutes, 11.31 seconds — more than three seconds faster than her qualifying time. Kirk was second in 2:12.12. Hyman dropped to fourth.
"I'm really excited, thrilled with that race. It feels pretty good," Breeden said. "I'm really excited about being in such a fast heat and Misty Hyman, I've always looked up to her.
"I knew I needed to win or finish well here to
give me more confidence going into the Olympic trials."

For nearly a decade now, there has been a strong emphasis on renewable energy and environmental stewardship. Wind towers and solar panels are popping up everywhere, and businesses have made energy conservation a priority. Companies have found that saving energy means a stronger bottom line, and that spending a little more in the short-term provides long-term benefits.
Responding to that need, Thermo Bond has developed high-performance energy solutions that create efficiency savings and a Return on Investment in just 12 to 18 months. Capable of being incorporated into new and existing buildings, our equipment and design features lower the total energy requirements of a building site. They can be applied singly or in combination to achieve the maximum energy consumption reductions.
Energy-Reducing Design Features and Equipment:
Thermo Bond offers four devices that will help lower your energy consumption. They include:
- Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers
These devices provide significant savings when installed in appropriate climates, and are most effective when there is at least a 12° temperature difference between the outside air temperature and desired temperature inside the building. They help to remove heat generated by equipment in the building, which reduces the run times of expensive mechanical cooling without introducing outside air into the equipment space. In the right conditions, heat exchangers can be run in place of mechanical cooling for hundreds of hours per year at a fraction of the cost, and help to increase the life span of air conditioning systems.
- HVAC Economizers
An economizer is a system of dampers and controls that allows filtered outside air to provide cooling to the shelter when outside temperature and humidity levels make this a viable option. They are most effective at reducing energy consumption in cool or temperate climates, generally at or below 60° F. Used for 30% of total operating hours, economizers reduce the need for mechanical cooling to 45% and increase the life span of air conditioning systems. However, while they do filter the outside air, economizers are not able to stop all dust and other pollutants along with humidity. Even with that, an HVAC unit with an economizer is better than one without it.
- High-Efficiency Air Conditioners
High-efficiency, 2-stage HVAC units with multi-stage compressors avoid the "one-size-fits-all" approach of standard HVAC units. They have a higher Energy Efficiency Rating because they continuously vary the speed of the compressor to match the cooling demand between 100% and 10%. Rarely cycling on and off, high-efficiency HVAC units minimize wear and tear on the compressor and other components. In most cases, the lower setting can adequately cool the shelter for more than 85% of the operating hours. High-efficiency units lower your power bill by using less energy, and not having huge spikes during peak hours.
- High-Efficiency Insulation in Walls and Doors
High-efficiency expanding foam-type insulation has a very high R-value compared to traditional fiberglass insulation. Expanding inside the shelter walls, it seals off leaks, gaps and penetrations that might allow air leakage, as well as providing an additional vapor barrier. This helps save energy and extends the useful life of the building. In addition, factory-installed thermal breaks on doors, at least as efficient as wall insulation, will prevent costly transmission of heat into the conditioned space. High-efficiency insulation helps to lower operating costs of HVAC equipment, and puts less demand on mechanical cooling. This gives you the option of purchasing a smaller HVAC unit and reducing both purchase and operational costs.
The Thermo Bond team is trained in providing you with solutions that maximize savings, minimize your costs, offer a quick return on your investment, and connect with your environmental stewardship goals. For more information on how we can help your company be more efficient and get an ROI in 12 to 18 months, please call 800-356-2686 or email us at email@example.com.

WATCHING: Lost. We just started watching it on Netflix, and i'm totally hooked. Also, throw Lost and some One Tree Hill all together and i am the worlds happiest girl.
EATING: Honey Bunches of Oats, the Cinnamon kind. I think today I've consumed almost a whole box. It could get to be a problem people....(my vision of the future) "Hi. I'm Paisley and i'm addicted to Cereal." "HI PAISLEY." I might need an intervention.
DRINKING: Some good ole H20. I love drinking water, and have just been given the job of keeping my kidney's healthy so that one day i can give one to momma. (She's not really big on the whole water thing.)
FEELING: Like I've been hit by a train. I've recently acquired a lovely cold, and im just glad the worst hit on the weekend so i can go into a napping coma. Kleenex + Vix Vapor Rub just became my new best friends.
WEATHER: It's still pretty hot here in Hurricane, UT. Right now the skies are blue and telling me to stay inside where there is a steady stream of air conditioning.
WANTING: a maid who can walk the dog, finish my Statistics homework, and clean my room for me.
NEEDING: A longer weekend. Seriously, whoever made up the calendar system must have been one of those cheery, Monday loving people. I, however, think we should only have 2 days a week that school and waking up early are required. Who's with me?
THINKING: "The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." -Henry Van Dyke
ENJOYING: Learning new things everyday, experiencing the Lord's tender mercies, and little moments of sheer happiness that couldn't come at a more needed time.
WISHING: I could see my best friends again. It seems like a lifetime ago that they all left. But on the plus side, my amazing cousin Kassara just called me from Ecuador, and she pretty much just made my life.

Next Screenings Director – Part 2
For those who didn't read the last post – here's the brief: Blah blah last semester as directer, blah blah seeming lack of people applying to role blah. Blah Encouragement blah tips blah blah change your mind! — Great! Just scroll down the page to read all of part 1 (Seeing that no one seems to post here </3 ) And let's get into it! Part 2 – more bad stuff (But why that's okay!).
University students and anime watchers are fickle creatures, so anime-watching university students are hard to please! So let's talk about two things: Getting these mystical creatures to come to screenings, and how you can never please them!
So, first off, you can never really get a hold of how many people will come to screenings – and it will never be a constant amount for the entire semester. In my first semester I had several screenings that were empty for the first 40 or so minutes, and many more where there was seldom more than 2 people showing up! Meanwhile, the first screening of the semester had the room literally overflowing! Then the first semester of this year (2015) had a first Monday screenings of over 49 people showing up (I counted) – and then the rest of the screenings had a constant amount of around 10-15 people. What changed? Well – First semester last year was in building 5, and first semester this year was in building 11! Even though the walk is just an extra 5-10 minutes or something (I'm a fast walker), that distance was deemed too far! So tip no.1 – try and get a screening room within the main cluster of buildings.
Continue reading ▷
Next Screenings Director – Part 1
As second semester, and my last semester as screenings director has begun – if feels as if it is time for this sort of post. It's going to be long, so I'm going to split up into slightly more digestible chunks (I'm a long form writer, sadly, so summing up things in a concise way is not my specialty)
The short of it is this – an anime club needs to screen anime, and the poor person that has to put in those hours for weekly events is the screenings director (i.e. Me at the moment). However, if the last four elections have been any indication, it doesn't seem like many people want to run for the screenings director position! So, hopefully, with this post, maybe a few of you will begin to think that you may want to run for screenings director for 2016!

Sea Rescue Operation Highlights Migrants' Plight
About 600 migrants and refugees were rescued by Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), a charity dedicated to saving lives at sea.
A woman is assisted by members of the Red Cross as members of MOAS make rescues at sea on November 22, 2016 in Pozzollo Italy.
The MOAS team worked through the night and into the next morning rescuing about 600. MOAS is currently patrolling international waters off the coast of Libya, and running rescue missions for the many migrants and refugees who continue to attempt to make the dangerous crossing across the Mediterranean Sea to Italy.
Rescue crew rush to administer CPR on a rescued man. The man died moments later.
The death toll in the Mediterranean - the most dangerous border crossing on the planet for migrants - is estimated to be 4,655 this year, 1,000 more than in all of 2015, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Fall clouds roll in over a Barnstable marsh.
I am a New England landscape photographer specializing in contemporary coastal images of Cape Cod, where I live. A few years ago my interest turned from making literal depictions of the natural environment to creating expressive, stylistic interpretations of it. To do this I explored the basic techniques of photoimpresssionism. A frustrated oil painter, I used a camera as my �brush� and tried to gently bridge the gap between photography and painting. �Painterly� became my watchword. Recently my creative journey has veered from simply �panning� a scene to applying more challenging and advanced techniques to my compositions. Ultimately this has resulted in more minimalist images and more personally satisfying work. I�ve added slow...

Sold as erection enhancers, penis lengthening tools, or just another way to masturbate, penis pumps are a fun men's sex toy. Even if you remember the penis pump jokes in the Austin Powers movies, these toys actually have a medical and theraputic background.
The penis pump is a rigid tube closed on one end with a soft latex "doughnut" at the base. Simply insert your lubricated penis (limp or erect) into the doughnut, and let the pump build up suction pressure around your penis. Blood will be pulled into the penis by the air vacuum, and you'll quickly get an erection.
Prior to Viagra, the penis pump was prescribed by doctors as a way to help men get and keep erections. Any urologist will tell you that most erectile dysfunctions are psychological in origin. The penis pump was developed to flood the erectile tissue with a little blood through a vacuum effect, and once the erection started, a man figured he was cured, and let his mind do the rest.
Some penis pumps are sold as a way to lengthen the penis. Please check with a doctor before you buy a pump to do this. Clinical trials show that you might get a little length added if you use a pump for half an hour a day for months. Ouch!
Get him up after he's gone down!
Hydromax Penis Pump
The most popular use for a penis pump is for masturbation or for couples to use to get a man hard after his orgasm leaves him limp. A pump can stimulate the penis with different levels of vacuum-suction, but it's not like fellatio. Some pumps come with vibration devices that stimulate the testicles. The penis pump keeps a man hard for longer than a regular mastubation session, and can lead to a very powerful orgasm.
Here are some of the more popular, best-selling and easy to use penis pumps.
Samurai Vibrating Penis Pump with Tongue Stimulator
Give your cock the strength of a warrior! Soft flexible latex "doughnut" on the bottom wraps around your shaft–or use it to help you pump up your erection! The powerful vacuum bulb creates a suction around your cock that will turn your rod to steel. Soft racing grip handle and powerful vibrating motor flicks the unique tongue on the top of your shaft, so you get the feel of suction with the stimulation of a tongue on your cockhead. To read more…
What's it like to use the Samurai pump?
I've never been a big fan of penis pumps. I always thought they were a poor substitute for a real blowjob, but the Samurai pump completely changed my mind. I've use it alone, and with a partner, it's a fun sex toy that adds to my sex life.
It looks like the pump's not quite big enough, and I'm only an average six inches. But I fit in there just fine, with the soft rubber "tongue" nestled against my cockhead. The cool thing about this pump is the flicking, vibrating tongue. The trouble with regular penis pumps is that there's no direct cock-stimulation. The suction provided by a pump is a nice feeling (to a point) but when I get really turned on, I want to feel the complete blowjob sensation of a tongue across my cock's happy spot. With the Samurai, I get that.
The tongue doesn't "lick" you until you turn on the vibrating motor. The suction feeling works wonders, and I even tried it with half-wood and limp-wood. The results were amazing: the blood was "sucked" into my cock and up it went, proudly. The air bleeds out instantly, and there's a quick release button if the suction gets too strong.
But the fun part came with the vibrating tongue. I used this pump while watching my favorite porn flick and when the blowjob scene came along, so did I.. just turn on the vibrating tongue, and the fast flicks across my cock cum-spot did the trick.
It was easier to talk my girlfriend into using the toy than I thought it would be. She has a good sense of humor and the pump put a lot of laughter into our love-making. She used it to get me hard after my first orgasm and to keep me hard while she sucked my nipples and played with my balls. You get an outrageous hard-on with this thing! She wouldn't let me come though, not until I ate her out and made her come first (during a fun 69-session)! Then she turned on the vibrating tongue and watched the pump make me blow off inside the tube. And the tube made cleaning up after a snap.
If you've never used a pump before, they're a lot of fun, and for men who have trouble making/keeping wood, they're fantastic. Just be careful and don't pump too hard!
Power Piston Penis Pump
The total power tool! Unique combination pump and vibrating stimulator, the Power Piston will get your hard, keep you hard, and get your rocks off like a sucking lover. The sleeve acts like a tight vagina, the bulb-operated pump creates a sexy suction, and you can just enjoy the sucking and vibrations, or use the sleeve as a masturbator, sliding it up and down as you add and release suction. Unbeatable pleasure! More…
What's it like to use the Power Piston penis pump?
For a bulb-operated penis pump, this unit is inexpensive as well as sturdy. It's different from most penis pumps in that it's built primarily as a masturbation tool, not as an erection-getter. The design of the opening means you should have most of your erection going before you lube up and slip it on. The vagina shaped opening and ribbed pressure-seal "doughnut" are meant to imitate a pussy. So if you need a pump to get an erection, there are other units out there better suited for that.
But that doesn't take away from the Power Piston's use as a wonderful masturbator for solo sex! While I love pussy as much as the next guy, I also love to jack off, too. This neat little pump gave me a chance to try something different for self-spanking. I popped in my favorite dirty video, got some wood going then lubed myself up, and slid it in.
Because it's a pump, it requires air around your cock to form a seal, so it's not like a fake pussy that hugs your cock. There's nothing around your dick but air, in the form of a suction better than any blowjob! The bulb sucks out the air and makes your dick feel huge and ready to explode. You'll definitely want to keep a hand on the pressure release.
For my first time, I turned on the vibrating unit, which made my balls tingle as I changed the speed. It took a while to orgasm just feeling the pump suction and ball vibations, but it was an incredibly powerful orgasm, much better than any time I'd ever masturbated. For the second time using it (after about a week of rest!) I used it more as a jacking device: I'd pump it up, feel the suction, release the air a little, then jack the device on my dick. There wasn't any direction contact with my cock-head, just the base of my cock, but that just made the effect last longer and turn me on even more. I came a little faster, but it didn't hurt as much as the first time I'd used it.
Bottom line: this is a fun pump for self-stimulation and as a suction-jacking off tool. The price is right to give it a try..just don't do this every night. The story about penis pumps lengthening your cock is just a myth.
Vibrating Techno Pump
Ultra powerful sucking action, sleek design, with vibrating testicle stimulator! Give your cock the erection and pleasure it deserves, with the suction of the Techno pump! Great for getting an erection and even more fun when you get a hardon.Comes with latext jelly "sleeve", wireless vibrating power pack and lube.
What's it like to use the Vibrating Techno Pump?
If you've never tried a penis pump, this is a great beginner's pump because it's easy to use and not as likely to hurt as the bulb-operated units. I had never tried a penis pump before I used the Techno Pump, and it was amazingly simple.
I decided to give it the complete test..I quickly lubed up the latex "doughnut" at the base, the seal that fits around your cock to hold in the tube. Then I slipped in my limp cock. I wasn't even thinking about sex. A few pumps up and down, and I was amazed at how fast it "sucked" blood into my cock. In a few minutes, I was rock-hard and ready for sex or minature batting practice!
When I spank myself, I like to read porn, not watch it. With the Techno Pump, this was the perfect device to stimulate myself while holding my reading material. The Techno gave a new meaning to "stroking", 'cause the pump goes up and down like an oil pumper. To hold the air in, just put your finger over the hole. For masturbating, you'll want to continually pump it up and let out the air. Once I turned on the vibrating motor, it tingled my balls nicely. It kept me hard and extended my stroking time by not making me come so fast. When I did orgasm, it was much more powerful than the usual one I get with only my hand.
My wife was more than happy to experiment with me. One morning she slipped it over my limp cock, got me hard in about five strokes, then pulled it off and rode me like a mad dog. After my orgasm, I took my time to make her come, then she slipped it on my limp dick again, pumped me up, and away we went. It was great to get multiples of my own for a day.
The fun factor alone is enough to justify any pump. They're great for masturbating, or getting hard for a partner, and even more fun when she's doing the pumping. This is one sex toy that won't make her feel uncomfortable (like a love doll or fake vagina). After all, the erection this gives you is meant for her.
Cyclone Force Pump
This unique penis pump is a fantastic erection-getter-and an amazing sex toy, for self-stimulation or for use with a partner! Uses incredibly life-like Cyberskin material as both a suction doughnut and sleeve, along with tight pump action and vibrating stimulation. Comes with vibrating bullet, lube, and Cyberskin Renew
What's it like to use the Cyclone Force Penis Pump?
I was very skeptical of this device when I first purchased it, I had tried another penis pump and came out sore and dissatisfied. Although once I tried the cyclone force on I quickly changed my mind. The pump has this fleshy realistic "sleeve" thing that feels like a soft sucking mouth. I gave a few pumps on the bulb and the air suction pulled my penis right up into a raging, ready to go woodie.The pump fastened the sleeve around my cock pulling it in inside like a tight wet mouth, begging me for release.
I switched on the vibrating motor and the throbbing sensations were like an amazing combination suction fuck and blowjob. I've never come that hard without someone else in the room! I am positively sure I got my money's worth, and have reccomended it to some friends in need. I take it with me everytime I'm on the road.

Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA)
Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) is the third phase of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as described in ISO 14040 Standard.
The overall purpose of an LCIA is to assess the Product System from an environmental perspective using impact categories and category indicators connected with the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) results to better understand their environmental significance.
The LCIA phase models selected environmental issues – impact categories – and uses category indicators to condense and explain the LCI results.
Key features of LCIA are:
- providing a system-wide perspective of environmental and resource issues for one or more product system(s)
- assigning LCI results to Impact Categories. For each Impact Category, the category indicator is selected and the category indicator result, hereafter referred to as Indicator Result, is calculated.
- providing information on the environmental issues associated with the inputs and outputs of the product system based on a functional unit.
Category indicators are intended to reflect the aggregate emissions or resource use for each Impact Category.
The following list specifies Impact Categories addressed by ISO 14040 standard to be considered by LCA studies:
- Climate change (the Greenhouse effects increasing the earth surface temperature due to release of carbon dioxide, methane, CFCs, etc., which in turn causes polar melt, soil moisture loss, deforestation, etc.)
- Ozone depletion (the release of CFCs destroys the stratospheric ozone layer, leading to higher ultraviolet radiation and, in turn, to decrease in crops harvest, skin cancer, etc.)
- Acidification (the release of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides leads to acid rain, resulting in forest dying, damages to soil nutrients, damages to buildings, etc.)
- Eutrophication (the air pollutants, waste water and fertilization in agriculture enriches nutrients in water and land, resulting in algae growth in waters, fish dying due to lowered oxygen concentration, and plants prone to diseases and pests, etc.)
- Photochemical oxidants (the release of volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen produces compounds that react with sunlight producing photochemical smog, which in turn leads to harmful impacts on human health and vegetation and reduced visibility).
- Depletion of fossil energy resources
- Depletion of mineral resources
In addition, LCIA prepares for the life cycle "potential environmental impacts" interpretation phase.

Book 1 Chapter 26.1 - Crazy
Larven forest manor was located in the southwestern part of Dragon City. This was an area that housed an industry that occupied tens of square kilometers. Just like the name of the manor stated, this place was surrounded by an enormous forest. There was a small mountain, a river that was positioned between it, a castle, as well as several scattered manors.
Unlike many of the new families' style of doing things, the Fabregas family preserved the ancient tradition. The castle and manor both possessed ancient appeal, and many of the decorations and accessories that had been gathered from various ruins were genuine olden era goods. The manor's food and drinks were no exception, using the olden era methods to marinate fragrant meat and brew red wine.
The little river that running through their territory was drawn into a man-made lake, and it was also led into a river that surrounded the ancient castle. In the new era, this naturally didn't possess any defensive meaning, but was rather done so as a type of decoration.
Not much of this new era's technology could be seen in Larven forest district, making it seem just like the rustic life of the eighteenth century. Time seemed to have stopped within the trees and rivers, and everything was peaceful and slow-moving.
Only at the upper reaches of the small river was there a trace of this era. A water purifier that represented the technology of the new era was constructed there. The milky white wave shaped dome covered the kilometer long river. Below the dome that carried a dreamy tint were orderly and massive rows of water purifying equipment. This place supplied all of the clean water Larven forest manor needed. It guaranteed that the man-made protective moat and man-made lake's water were both clean. Of course, it was impossible to reach the point where there was no radiation, but at the very least, it reached a point where ordinary people could swim inside. The 'normal' people were based on the olden era's criteria, because after more than fifty years in the new era, humanity's resistances towards radiation had improved drastically. Of course, this might have come at the price of mutated cells or changed genes. Regardless, this water purifying factory represented the Fabregas family's wealth and style. Once the water left Larven forest district, the water quality would gradually decline as it absorbed the radiation of the surrounding matter. However, at the sides of the stream where the water quality was still drinkable, it could be considered full of life. The density of living organisms was several times that of other regions.
There was a smooth road that connected Larven forest manor with Dragon City. In reality, the Fabregas' military wasn't particularly strong, and rarely were there outstanding talents within the family's children. Ricardo was already incredibly outstanding, but compared to the Arthur family that produced both Persephone and O'Brien, as well as the William family which had the always calm and reserved Rudolph, his family's younger generation were quite a bit inferior. The Fabregas family's superiority lay in their age. They had preserved the minimum level of glory needed and survived all the way until now. If an average was taken from the accomplishments of the family's children, the cohesion of the family, and the loyalty the various children had towards the family, then they definitely wouldn't lose to the three great families.
Those with the family's bloodline within them were the family's greatest wealth. This was the Old Fabregas' creed, as well as the reason why he didn't spare any cost to defend the family's honor. Only by showing the families' children that they have a future, as well as the ability to protect them, would they always stay loyal to the family and further secure their bond. In fact, the Fabregas family over the last sixty years had never believed that there was a price too great to pay for loyalty.
Standing in front of a French style window was Old Fabregas, a rather slender and quiet old man. His hawk-like nose and deep eyes formed a stubborn appearance that didn't lack intellect as well. In his hand was a glass of red wine that was produced by the manor. Through the French style window, he looked at the calm and peaceful water surface, as well as the garden that was full of vitality.
Large amounts of clouds full of radiation hung in the sky, and a radiance of all colors swept through them. As the ancient castle and garden were illuminated, they looked like the world from children's fairy tales. This place didn't seem to distinguish between night or day, as if it was a city of eternity. This was a deadly type of beauty, because only when the wind gathered a sufficient amount of radiation would this type of beautiful aurora emerge. Whenever this type of radiance appeared, most of the creatures in the forest would hide themselves deep within their lairs to avoid this radiation that was several times that of what there was normally. Only those mutated creatures that benefited greatly from radiation were happy. They all scuttled out from their dwellings to the open world to enjoy the scorching radiance.
The majority of people in the new era could not defend themselves against the radiation of the radiated clouds, but every construct in Larven forest manor possessed perfect defensive measures. Even if it was a newborn infant, they could receive perfect protection and care within any one of the buildings' rooms. Larven Manor had their own atmospheric monitoring system, and it could accurately forecast and monitor destructive changes in the environment. Those that were currently active outside all had either abilities or equipment that could protect them.
This vast region that was several tens of kilometers large had experienced several tens of years of operation and continuous construction. It could be considered the symbol of the Fabregas family's accumulated wealth. It definitely wasn't some impressive feat created overnight by some newly rich party.
Old Fabregas looked upon everything with pride. Even though he was old, his body's condition was nowhere near as senile as that of others his age. Inside the family's biological laboratory, a breakthrough had already been made in anti-aging medication, so he could use the laboratory to compound a small amount of stable medication that provided guaranteed efficacy. This was naturally extremely costly, and apart from requiring large amounts of rare raw materials, the uncontrollable factors in the synthesis process were also unsolvable problems. Due to the low success rate, this medication was still far from the point where it could be mass produced; however, this was already enough for Old Fabregas to use. For him, the most important thing was whether such a thing existed. The price was never an issue.
In the twenty years since he assumed the position of clan leader, the family's strength had continued to expand at a stable pace. No matter which period it was, Fabregas was never the family that developed the fastest, but it was definitely the most stable and steady. The family's expansion and accumulation of wealth had never stopped. During these twenty years, Old Fabregas had seen too many changes in other families' prosperity and decline, and at the same time, he gratefully watched as the Fabregas family steadily climbed. Under his guidance, the family's comprehensive force had already reached a point second only to the three great families. In addition, inside of his body that wasn't young anymore, there was still an extremely strong heart.
Old Fabregas' ambitions were great as well, great to the point where Larven Manor's boundaries already reached the east coast. It was to the point where Dragon City and even the Blood Parliament's encampment was included. Right now, his greatest regret was that there still wasn't an exceptionally outstanding talent among the numerous younger generation. However, he didn't feel anxious, nor was he too worried. From his perspective, a single genius wasn't even as useful as ten youngsters that could only be considered remarkable. Moreover, from the principle of probability and numbers, as long as the family's bloodline was prosperous enough and the younger generation was great enough, a genius would be born sooner or later.
The only thing recently that gave Old Fabregas somewhat of a headache was Su, that Su that seemed impossible to kill for some reason. However, even though the family's reputation received a stain that was impossible to remove after the training base battle and some issues seemed to have happened in the family's unity, for example Ricardo who refused to participate in the battle, he didn't feel that much dissatisfaction towards the current situation. Ricardo was Old Fabregas' own son, as well as the one he cared about the most. On Ricardo's body, Old Fabregas saw everything that he needed. As for Su, right now he seemed to be more useful alive than dead.
The expenses required to heal Su even made him shocked, and it nearly dragged down Persephone's finances with him. Old Fabregas just made a small move and easily froze Persephone's assets. Without the support of her family, Persephone was in desperate straits.
He had taken all possibilities into consideration, including the prediction that O'Brien might provide assistance for his sister at the most crucial point. However, without being able to touch the family's resources, the assistance O'Brien could provide was extremely limited. The Arthur family has already declared that they would no longer support Persephone, and they had already received things of considerable interest from Old Fabregas to compensate them for doing such a thing. As such, not even O'Brien who had recently gained great authority within the family could go against the family's promise. An ancient family's reputation was a type of cornerstone for success, but it could also become chains that bound its hands and feet. O'Brien was still too young, and his mindset was too idealistic. He still didn't understand a principle, and that was that when the benefits were too great, or if an enemy was too weak, any promises could be broken. Politics were politics, and one needed time to gain experience. Even if one was a genius, it wasn't useful in this field.
Su's body still needed at least ten H2101 injections, and this was definitely not a sum O'Brien could provide. Old Fabregas had already investigated his financial circumstances, and the amount of private funds he had would at most provide for a single injection. Even if he tried to gather money himself, O'Brien with his weak foundation wouldn't be able to gather such a great amount of money. At that time, Persephone would truly be at the end of the line. When she faced a desperate situation, she would either abandon Su or accept the lenders' requirements. Meanwhile, all of the lenders had the power to request for Persephone's body had already been secretly bought out by Old Fabregas.
As soon as he thought of Persephone's body that was tightly bound under her elegant clothes as well as the explosive force it contained, Old Fabregas couldn't help but become excited. A change also happened to his body. A tall bulge suddenly climbed on his gown that possessed a volume and bulk completely different from what a sixty-five year old old man should possess. From his perspective, as long as he obtained Persephone, any price would be worth it. If it wasn't for the sake of making Persephone take the bait, he definitely wouldn't have painstakingly laid out such a complex and obscure trap. Of course, the current situation went far smoother than what he expected. Based on his original calculations, subduing a financially bankrupt female general that had also lost the support of her family would require a year's worth of time at the very least. However, he never thought that Su would actually require such an astonishingly high treatment fee, and that Persephone actually paid it.
