Fractional Aircraft is a common term for fractional ownership of aircraft where multiple owners share the costs of purchasing, leasing and operating the aircraft. Commercial programs for large aircraft include NetJets, Flexjet, PlaneSense, and AirSprint.
With fractional jets, customers (referred to as "owners") buy a "share" of an aircraft, rather than an entire aircraft. The price is pro-rated from the market price of a full aircraft. Owners then have guaranteed access (for 50–400 hours annually or a certain number of days of the year, depending on share size) to that plane, or a similar plane in the operators fleet, with as little as four hours' notice. Fractional owners pay a monthly maintenance fee and an "occupied" hourly operating fee. Usually the latter is charged only when an owner or guest is on board, not when the plane is flying to a pick up point, or returning to its home base after completing a flight.
Owners have access to the full fleet of planes and may upgrade or downgrade for specific flights. At the end of the contract the owner can sell their share either back to the company or to another owner waiting for a position, though most companies charge a re-marketing fee to do this.
In addition, similar agreements are made for individual light, general aviation aircraft, where several individuals will purchase and operate their chosen aircraft as an independent group, without going through a commercial operator. If one individual decides sell their share, their shares may then be purchased by the remaining owners or sold outside the group to another individual. As it is subject to whatever terms were in the original contract, the details will vary from group to group.
In Depth[edit]
In the commercial system, customers purchase (or lease) a fraction of an aircraft, alongside numerous, anonymous other individuals. Depending on the company, the aircraft may be split into 16ths or even 32nds of a fractional share. These fractions translate to a number of hours per year, with a full 100% share typically equating to 800 annual hours of usage. Most shares are sold at the 1/16 (50 hours) or 1/8 (100 hours) level.
Although the aircraft are shared, owners are guaranteed access with 4–48 hours' notice, depending on the provider and plan. Providers can offer such short call-out periods by having a fleet of similar aircraft, which are interchanged amongst the owners.
In addition to purchase costs, owners pay a monthly management fee to cover the cost of maintenance, upgrades, hangaring, pilot salaries and training. When using the aircraft, owners are also billed for the actual hours in flight, and a nominal amount for taxiing. The final cost component is fuel, which has a surcharge above the hourly fee to compensate for price volatility.
An owner's share allotment is depleted for actual hours of "occupied flight", plus taxiing, with a 1- to 2-hour minimum. Owners are not charged for any non-occupied flight time that may be required getting the aircraft to them and returning to its home base. This is called variously "deadhead", "positioning", "ferry", or "empty leg" depending on the company.
In addition to the "owned" plane, customers gain access to other planes in the fleet. When desired, they may switch to larger or smaller planes on a set "interchange" formula. Access to a smaller aircraft may be guaranteed, but larger aircraft access may be conditional on the shares owned.
The size of a share may provide additional benefits including:
- "Short leg" waivers – minimum flight times, often of 1 hour may be waived in lieu of actual flight time.
- Availability guarantees – the greater the share size, the greater the guarantee, particularly with larger aircraft or shorter call-out periods.
- Overfly rules – some companies allow owners to access hours from future years if they've already flown their annual allowance.
- Ferry waivers – When flying outside of a provider's "primary service area", owners lose guarantees and often have to cover the "deadhead" costs. Secondary service areas, such as the Caribbean may be defined where these expenses may be reduced.
- Peak/Busy period access – Popular holidays and heavy travel dates are considered peak or busy periods when demand is the highest, which can exceed the companies available aircraft. Accordingly, service levels are reduced by lengthening call-out periods, ignoring guarantees, and applying restrictions, all of which are more stringently applied to owners with smaller shares.
In the United States, fractional owners and operators are subject to Federal Aviation Regulations, FAR Part 91, Subpart K.[1]
Private air travel advisors can be of particular help with navigating and negotiating the so-called "boilerplate" fractional contract.
Owners rarely fly the specific aircraft in which they hold shared title. More likely, they will travel on identical planes in the company's fleet. This is a natural consequence of the fractional model: since many owners "pull" on the same plane, it's likely that "their" plane is either in use by another owner, or that another plane is positioned in a more convenient location for deployment.
This fleet flexibility is one of the key benefits of fractional ownership over full ownership. Owners are never stranded when their plane is in the shop for maintenance, and owners enjoy the luxury of upgrading or downgrading to other fleet aircraft for special trip requirements.
Fractional agreement terms are typically five years, after which owners sell their share back to the company for the then-current fair market value, less a "remarketing fee", typically around 7%. The fee may be waived for renewals. Customers may also lease their share in a variety of configurations, depending on their tax and financial profile. The "fair market value" calculation is a key consideration, and can dominate the overall cost-benefit analysis of the fractional ownership format. Many fractional owners were burned by the volatile market and geopolitical conditions of the early 2000s and the recession in the late 2000s. All contracts should outline an appeals process if the owner disputes the end-of-contract valuation.
Advantage over regular airline services[edit]
- Flexibility in destinations – Commercial air travel is generally reserved for the largest 500 airports in the country, with 75% of all traffic directed through the 30 major hubs. Private aviation broadens prospective airports to over 5,000 in the U.S.
- General Aviation (GA) Terminals – Even at major airports, private planes are handled separately, with a special terminal that offers greater service, comfort and amenities.
- Flexibility in scheduling and flying – Depending on the program, private aviation can be available within 4–48 hours of your phone call. This availability is a core benefit of fractional jets.
- Airport process – Most airports allow you to skip the terminal and drive right up to your plane. Your bags go directly from car to plane.
- Time savings and in-flight productivity – These are frequently cited by clients as the dominant benefit, and come in three forms: gaining access to more convenient airports, scheduling flights according to one's timetable, and simplifying the process of getting in and out of planes and airports. Nearly all flights are nonstop, and there are none of the commercial hassle of layovers, connections, reboarding and long security lines. In-flight time on a private plane is considerably more effective for conducting meetings, conference calls and brainstorming sessions.
- Business Entertaining – Private jets offer a special intimacy and prestige, and provide a unique environment for candid discussions and social bonding.
- Security – All pilots, crew and maintenance staff are required to have photo identification that can be verified on-the-spot. Each employee is typically subject to numerous background checks. Overall, general aviation lacks the passenger anonymity and sheer size that has made commercial aviation more of a target. A secondary security benefit stems from the owner's control of schedule and itinerary. A customer has the ability to quickly fly into business emergencies that might require their on-the-ground attention, or to quickly depart from unpleasant surprises such as riots or political upheaval.
- Five-star Service – Fractional jet programs provide on-call concierges to attend to all travel requests, and some non-travel needs. Food, beverages and media choices are all tailored for each mission.
- Ego – For many fliers, an unstated benefit is pride of ownership in a luxury of the highest order. Despite the fact that owners rarely travel in "their" plane, the provider works carefully to make them feel that whatever plane they're traveling in is their personal plane. There are no company logos on the fuselage or the napkins. Guests may easily assume that the plane they're boarding is fully owned by their host.
Advantage over Chartering / Full ownership[edit]
- Flying a lot of One Leg Journeys – As you only pay for the time that you are in the air, then if you need to fly a lot of one-leg journeys the Fractional Jet Ownership could be cost effective. In comparison, when you charter a jet, then you are effectively paying for the empty leg return from where the charter operates from.
- Consistency – Unlike with charter programs, fractional owners travel in the same model of aircraft with each flight. Though they may upgrade or downgrade, they typically select one plane and stick with it. This provides familiarity and comfort.
- Flight plans from the edges of regions or continents – With fractional ownership you are only paying for the air time, and if you are travelling from the edges of a region, for example, in Europe, you are flying from Greenland, or in North America, you are flying from Alaska then there are likely to be fewer private jet charter operators to choose from and therefore the price benefit gained from a broker will be greatly reduced.
- Convenience – Being locked into a plane, or even a class of plane, can mean not having the right aircraft for each trip (e.g. too many passengers, not enough range, too much range making it expensive for short trips, unable to land in certain airfields, unable to take off at certain high altitudes—as is the case with many aircraft in places such as Telluride and Aspen).
- Cost – Private jet travel is very expensive, and the fractional model can be the most costly option (when compared to memberships, charter, etc.). The plans are also complex, with multiple layers of cost that make it nearly impossible to calculate a realistic fully loaded bottom-line per-flight cost. Owners are charged a monthly fee whether or not they fly, and the often-overlooked fuel surcharges can add up to over $1,000 per flight-hour. When owners sell their share back to the provider, the "residual value" calculation can vary substantially, depending on market conditions for used aircraft. Additionally, planes in fractional fleets tend to be flown harder, with more hours and takeoff/landing cycles than the average. This negatively affects residual value. The initial purchase price for a 1/16 share of a light jet starts at over $300,000. Monthly management fees start at about $9,000 per month. Occupied hourly rates start at about $1,500.
- Flexibility – The purchased share is for a specific plane. Any variations for a specific mission can bring additional costs and calculations.
The original formula for fractional flight is similar to its present incarnation: customers purchase pro rata portions of aircraft that are 100 percent guaranteed to be available. The fractional jet provider then purchases an additional 26 percent of capacity (over and above the fleet purchased by clients) to fulfill that guarantee. These extra planes brings the guarantee to 98 percent statistically. The last 2% of the guarantee represents holidays and other worst-case situations. To close this gap in the guarantee, the company relies on "supplemental lift" from charter—either from affiliated companies, or trusted third-party charter operators. As more client-owners join, a network effect results in a reduction of expensive empty legs: with a critical mass of customers, the theory is that it becomes more likely that a particular trip can be accommodated with minimal deadheading. In reality, it is not clear how many aircraft is required to reach an efficient scale, whether it is 50 aircraft, 400 aircraft, or whether it ever happens.
Track Record[edit]
This section needs to be updated.June 2013)(
After twenty years, it is unclear that the model works in its current form. The original fractional model anticipated selling planes in 1/4 fractions, rather than the 1/16 or 1/32 fractions that have emerged. Each additional partial owner creates more demand and schedule chaos for each plane, particularly during peak periods. Further, the theory that a growing customer base will reduce empty-legs has proven limited. While there have been some improvements, the best-case "floor" of empty traffic is still above twenty percent of total traffic. Worst case for new operators can approach 50 percent.
According to Halogen Guides, which covered the industry, the initial assumptions underestimated the complexity, overhead costs and peak demands. This has been further impacted by the dramatic popularity of fractional card programs. The card programs place even more owners against each plane; each owner enjoying fully guaranteed access with as little as a single-year, 1/32 share commitment. For instance, a 25-hour Marquis Jet card represents a 1/32 share ownership of a jet in the NetJets fleet (NetJets is the provider of aircraft for Marquis Jet). Instead of the original "worst case" of four owners requesting simultaneous Thanksgiving travel, 16–32 may do so for a single plane.
Finally, the burgeoning diversity of structural offerings (fractional ownership, fractional cards, charter cards, ad-hoc charter) creates an environment where clients may employ a portfolio of solutions, tapping each alternative depending on the cost profile of each trip. Certain trips can be most economically served by fractional, card or charter. If a client gets to cherry-pick for each trip, the fractional provider typically absorbs the least efficient travel. Partly in response to this, the larger fractional companies now position themselves as "solution providers", and offer fractions, cards, charter and full aircraft management.
According to a 2006 Halogen Guides Jets survey, not one company boasted of sustained bottom-line profitability. Even Warren Buffett's NetJets lost $80 million in 2005, attributed to foreign expansion and U.S. efficiency losses (specifically, paying for higher cost charter flights when owner demand outstripped capacity).
During the recession of 2007 to 2009, the largest fractional providers saw significant downturns in their business. NetJets, Flexjet and Flight Options have all reported significant subsequent growth and have added to their fleets. But CitationShares, a unit of aircraft manufacturer Cessna, stopped selling fractional shares in 2012. Avantair, operator of a fleet of 57 Avanti Piaggio P180s, filed for bankruptcy in June 2013.
One strategic thrust has been the introduction of efficiency incentives to better align client behavior with operating efficiency. Some companies have resisted these programs: if fractional's appeal is the simplification of flight, that appeal is reduced when accompanied by a host of special pricing adjustments and incentive programs. Despite this marketing challenge, cost concerns have resulted in numerous efficiency-driven programs.

President Martti Ahtisaari,
Chief Justice,
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for inviting me to this inaugural conference of the Asian Mediation Association (AMA).
2 The members of the AMA – the Delhi Mediation Centre, Hong Kong Mediation Centre, Indonesian Mediation Center, Malaysian Mediation Centre, Philippine Mediation Center and Singapore Mediation Centre – have come together to promote mediation in an effective way. The AMA brings together institutions which have deep knowledge of the cultures they serve to discuss challenges encountered in this field and share the best practices available with each other. This is crucial to building mediation thought leadership in this part of the world, and is a highly commendable initiative.
A Comprehensive Legal System
3 Mediation is a crucial facet of our efforts to build a holistic and sophisticated dispute resolution centre. Any dispute resolution system should have at least three key pillars: dispute resolution through the Courts, arbitration and mediation. We have focused a lot on making sure dispute resolution through our Courts is effective and efficient.
4 A dispute can be heard in Singapore from the time of issue of the writ to the disposal of the trial within 18 months. Any appeal can be disposed of within three to four months thereafter. International organisations today rank Singapore's Judiciary highly. Singapore's strong reputation for the rule of law is underpinned by a strong and independent judiciary. And under the leadership of our Honourable Chief Justice, our Judiciary will continue to be a highly regarded institution.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
5 But, litigation is not without its drawbacks. Compared to alternative dispute resolution methods, litigation can be costlier, more public, more time-consuming and often creates irreparable damage to the relationships amongst the parties involved. A significant number of parties do not actually need to resort to litigation. Society will benefit if strong and comprehensive alternate dispute resolution processes are made readily accessible.
6 The two alternates are arbitration and mediation.
7 In recent years, Singapore's convenient location, good legal system and neutrality have made us an arbitration venue of choice in the region.
8 We have created an environment that is not only conducive, but also attractive for arbitration hearings to be held in Singapore. A 2007 report published by the ICC International Court of Arbitration ranked Singapore as the top city in Asia for ICC arbitrations and one of the five most popular ICC arbitration venues since 2000, alongside Paris, London, Geneva and Zurich. Parties' rights to arbitrate have been strongly upheld, and our Courts do not intervene too readily in arbitrations. Parties are free to engage lawyers of any nationality and use any governing law, and not just Singapore-qualified lawyers or Singapore law. Parties now have access to top international arbitral institutions in Singapore, such as the American Arbitration Association and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. We also have our very own Singapore International Arbitration Centre, whose clauses and reputation are gaining ground internationally. Its recent board appointments of world-renowned arbitrators not only brings with them international expertise, but undoubtedly positions it to be one of the leading arbitration centres in Asia and the world. Last but not least, we have established the Maxwell Chambers, which will house a first-class venue for international hearings equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for arbitration. We have been anticipating the opening of the Maxwell Chambers for some time now and this will be taking place very soon in a matter of months.
9 But arbitration is only one pillar of the alternate dispute resolution system. While Singapore develops as an important arbitral centre, we also recognise that mediation must also be strongly supported and is the other pillar of alternate dispute resolution. The processes of civil litigation and arbitration have a strong economic focus – more so of course for arbitration then litigation. Mediation with its strong social focus complements litigation and arbitration. In that way, mediation performs a critical role.
Advantages of Mediation
10 Mediation increases access to justice by mitigating the costs and risks involved in litigation and arbitration. Particularly for the man in the street, without the deep pockets of a large corporation, mediation is an important way of accessing justice. And for corporations involved in large disputes, mediation is still a sensible route to take, to see if litigation or arbitration can be avoided.
11 A sensible and firm mediator can often help reduce a messy dispute, saving the parties much money and the acrimony and a protracted litigation or arbitration. Mediation not only offers better access to justice, it also improves the process of justice. This is essential as justice is not only about the results achieved. Being private, non-confrontational and non-intimidating, mediation is ideal for a society like ours, where there is an underlying ethos of maintaining harmony. The flexibility that mediation offers also affords opportunities for imaginative solutions to be formulated. For example, I understand that in a case mediated at the Singapore Mediation Centre, the "last gap" (or final difference) between the parties was closed by way of a donation to a charity in the parties' joint names.
12 Mediation has flourished in Singapore since the early 1990s. Our Judiciary introduced court-based mediation in 1994 through the institution of Court Dispute Resolution in the Subordinate Courts. In 1996, the Honourable the Chief Justice, then the Attorney-General, in a far sighted move, suggested the establishing of a commercial mediation centre to encourage a more harmonious approach to settling differences. This led to the setting up of the Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC) a year later in 1997. To encourage the use of mediation in resolving community and social disputes, the first Community Mediation Centre (CMC) was set up by the Ministry of Law in 1998.
Existing Infrastructure
13 Today, the SMC is Singapore's flagship mediation centre. It has set our mediation scene in the global context through its numerous avenues of cooperation with international partners. For instance, SMC co-founded the International Mediation Institute, a non-profit foundation incorporated in the Netherlands. This was the culmination of a pioneering effort to standardise and promote an international competency standard for mediators. The SMC has also continually made efforts in capacity-building for its international partners. To date, it has provided negotiation and mediation training for more than 900 overseas participants from more than 80 different countries worldwide. Twice or thrice a year, SMC will also host 20 to 30 participants from all around the world in conflict resolution workshops as part of the Singapore Cooperation Programme.
14 SMC's commercial emphasis is completed at the community level by the CMC, which focuses on community and neighbourly disputes, ensuring a robust social fabric. We now have three CMCs providing mediation services to Singaporeans living in various parts of the island.
15 In addition to mediation at these institutions, mediation is also being conducted at tribunals and Government departments and agencies. There are also numerous mediation services provided by professional, industry, trade and consumer bodies for practically every significant area of dispute.
Growth in Mediation
16 Some numbers would give us a sense of how far mediation has come since the 1990s. Between June 1994 and March 2009, the Subordinate Courts mediated some 188,000 cases. These include civil matters, maintenance, small claims and other family-related disputes. The average settlement rate is 90 per cent.
17 There is also encouraging feedback from users of mediation. The SMC has been administering an ongoing survey to parties and lawyers at the end of each mediation session at the Centre. Of the 1,911 parties who responded to the survey from 1997 to the end of March 2009, 81 per cent indicated that they had saved costs.Eight-five per cent reported that they had saved time. The response from lawyers is equally positive. Out of 1,590 lawyers who responded over the same period, 82 per cent noted that their clients were likely to have saved costs. Eighty-one per cent thought that they and their clients were likely to have saved time. Costs and time savings were reported even in cases that were not settled or partially settled. What I think is most heartening, however, is this: 93 per cent of the parties and 98 per cent of the lawyers said that they would recommend the use of mediation to others in
similar situations.
18 Within the community, the CMC has come a long way since its inception. The Centres have handled a total of more than 4,100 cases in the last 10 years. From the 120 cases the first CMC processed in 1998, the three CMCs handled almost 700 cases in 2008.
Support for Mediation
19 Mediation has proven to be a vital part of our legal system. The Government will continue to strongly support the use of mediation and encourage efforts to develop the field of mediation through research, studies and training.
20 The members of the AMA are well-placed to promote the appropriate use of mediation both in the board rooms and the communities at home. Together, this will bring about greater harmony and prosperity to the region.
21 But we should not stop there. There are different levels of development in the capacity for mediation across various countries in the region. I would also like to urge the AMA and other mediation players within and even outside Asia to broaden your efforts to help each other with capacity-building. Our societies can only be enriched by efforts to spread the spirit of peace and to share mediation as a method of making peace.
22 Let me conclude by congratulating the AMA for putting this Conference together and the SMC for hosting it. My best wishes for all bonds of friendship and co-operation. Thank you.

A story of endless abilities
Education is a fundamental means of social transformation and empowerment. It has the potential of making an individual into what or who he or she wants to become. This has been the experience of Senator Dr Floyd Morris, director of the University of the West Indies Centre for Disability Studies (UWICDS).
Born in a humble household in Bailey's Vale, St Mary, Morris always wanted to become a chartered accountant. During his high school years, he focused on the business subjects as part of the strategic move to accomplish his life-long ambition. But life had other plans for Senator Morris. It seems as if nature never had it for him to become a chartered accountant. In 1983, he developed glaucoma and this affected his sight significantly. By 1989, the illness landed him a fatal blow as he became totally blind at age 20.
Blindness placed him in a precarious position as he was now unable to see and had no academic subjects to pursue his life-long aspirations. But Senator Morris has a resilient spirit. He never allows anything to hold him back, and certainly, blindness was just going to be a temporary halt to his forward march.
Through sage advice from the late Dorraine Samuels, Morris decided to change his focus to radio broadcasting. This meant that Morris had to pursue a path in the humanities in order to accomplish this new-found love.
Morris, you will recall, never graduated from high school with any subjects because he had developed glaucoma, and this had a negative impact on his academic performance. He now had to attend the Jamaica Society for the Blind (JSB) for rehabilitation and to restart his academic pursuits at the Mico Evening College in 1991. At the Mico Evening College, he pursued a mix of the business and arts subjects that would allow him to matriculate at the University of the West Indies (UWI), the top university in the Caribbean and Latin America. By 1993, Senator Morris attained all the academic subjects needed to pursue a career in radio broadcasting.
Graduated with honours
He was accepted to read for a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Media and Communication at the then Caribbean Institute of Media and Communication, now Caribbean School of Media and Communication (CARIMAC), situated in the then Faculty of Arts and General Studies, now, Faculty of Humanities and Education. After a spectacular experience at CARIMAC, Senator Morris graduated with honours in media and communication. Studying in the humanities positively affected his ability to think critically, to write expressively, to speak clearly and confidently, to interact with information independently and effectively, and to understand human behaviour and communication.
It was an extremely, rewarding experience as this set the stage for his sojourn in national politics. He was appointed as the first visually impaired person to sit in the Parliament of Jamaica in 1998, promoted to minister of state in the Ministry of Labour and Social Security in 2001, and became the president of the Senate in 2013, the fourth most senior position in the governance framework of Jamaica.
Morris has demonstrated that it is not where you are from that matters. It is where you are heading. With a persistent spirit and a clear vision, coupled with God in your life, you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to.
In 2017, thirty-one years after graduating from high school without a single academic subject, Senator Morris successfully completed a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Government, with special focus on political communication. His seminal degree is a conflation of his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Philosophy degrees, recalling that it all started with his pursuit of a BA in Media and Communication in the Faculty of Arts and General Studies and then his Master of Philosophy in Government in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Senator Morris prides himself as being a graduate of the UWI and most importantly, an alumnus of the Faculty of Humanities and Education. A tree is determined by its roots. If the tree has deep, buttressing roots, then it will grow mighty and strong and will be able to withstand any shocks that nature has to offer. The academic and career trajectory of Senator Dr Floyd Morris has been anchored by deep, buttressing roots, and this best explains the successes he has enjoyed to date.
- Senator Dr Floyd Morris is the director for the UWI Centre for Disability Studies in the Faculty of Social Sciences. He is also an alumnus of the Faculty of Humanities and Education, UWI Mona, where he studied Media and Communication. Additionally, he completed a PhD in Government with special focus on political communication. This article is one in a series that seeks to promote and highlight the impact of the arts and humanities on the individual's personal development and career path.

A hot summer day painting on location in this Taos courtyard garden finally drove me into the shade of a giant cottonwood tree, where I dreamed of a tall, cool glass of lemonade. The lemonade never arrived, but the day taught me to weave warm and cool colors through my painting like the hot sunlight filtered through the dense foliage of this remarkable garden. This is the second painting I've done of that garden. The first was a plein air; this one, I created almost ten years later in my studio, painting from photo references. The play of light and shadow on adobe and the relentless summer heat came back to me as I painted, remembering the day that inspired it.

Orphaned by my father at 6, I lived with my widowed mother in an isolated place but my sexual arousement came from breasts of female drawings.
At 8, I lived with my grandparents together with my first cousin with whom I played as a father in a make-believe married couple. I had chances of holding my coursin closest to my body, and then at the middle of one night I opened my cousin's vagina and inserted my erect penis.
Just then my grandfather's shadows appeared on the curtain walls and I stopped. Two years later when I was 10, I lived with my uncle who had five children.
The eldest was a year older than me. We played until one time, we came to sex.
She opened her pussy and I inserted my erect penis. My penis would't penetrate her tight pussy, instead my penis bled and we both laughed at our frustrations. When Wiorld War II broke out, my paternal grand parents built a two-storey house in the farm and accommodated a widower who had two daughters.
At 19, the younger daughter got close to me. When she urinated (urinal was unnecessary in an isolated house in the farm), she just squatted and pulled down her panty and spread her legs apart avoiding the stream of her urine from touching her feet. I could see the full glory of her clitoris. Her eyes were watching the erratic flow of her urine and she was most often unmindful of my passing glance. We played hide-and-seek with other siblings in our family on moonlit evenings and we hid together whenever we're not "it"; she sought me out rough squirting orgasm hardx sex stories I looked for her and together we hugged, caressed and kissed and I had chances of mashing her big tits in the darkenss.
In the middle of one night, she crawled to me and we started our first serious romance. we undressed together and we probed each other's genital organs. I loved caressing her silken-hairy pubic mound until I pried open her tight virgin vagina. I fingered her clitoris while she moaned softly in ectasy and replaced my fingers with my tongue.
She was delirious and signaled that I mount her as she spread wide open her legs. I positioned my whole body on top of her and clamped hers towards mine with my two arms pulling her closest to me.
she held my hardened penis, guided it and inserted my dick into her moist cunt. The moment my penis touched her pussy, I felt a sudden urge of pushing my dick deeper inside her pussy which I did and she moaned at first, then let out muffled cries of pain as blood oozed down the canal of her virgin and tight vagina.
I had my first taste of sex and I found it sweet, satisfying, and I was craving for more sweetness in the process of pushing and pulling my dick in and out of a wet pussy. Lucing's feet fluttered like butterfly wings while she urged me into pumping faster and faster and I too wanted the fastest pumping which forced me into orgasm when I lost control of tempo and my dick spew sperms, each stream gave me indescribable satisfaction while Lucing held me tightly close to her body.
The result was tiredness and weakness but I always enjoyed that moment when my sperm was spurting. Lucing crawled to me nighlty and we fucked nightly as "husband la directrice est une nympho wife" : she was 19, I was 14. We fucked nightly for several months until my younger brother who slept nightly beside me woke up at the middle of the night and discovered our tryst.
My grandparents separated me from my "wife" since then.

RV mounting of MR-350 USB GPS antenna / receiver
Reply to Topic
Start New Topic
Here is how I gained access to the inside of our RV, simple and quick-total time was less than an hour.
betsy-tom (betsy-tom)'s Photos- powered by SmugMug
look for the rv mount gallery though you are certainly welcome to view all the photos there.
Marvin Hlavac
Thanks for posting it. How do you like the performance of your GPS MR-350 receiver? What GPS unit did you use before? How does the MR-350 compare to that?
Hi Marvin, I think we have had the MR350 for two years, it is fantastic (I don't profit in any way from the sales of this product, well I guess I do in a way, its always nice to be able to give someone a heads up on something that really works!). The internal antenna was just a pain for us and signal was dropped on a regular basis, not that it was a horrible problem but it did happen.
Now with the antenna/receiver outside and up top we get a couple to three more satellites and the signal is lost about 95% LESS of the time, I really can't say enough about the product.
What we did learn the hard way is that you really should use the piece of heat shrink tubing over the usb adapter immediately. I did not and the connection at both the laptop and the nema adapter at the 350 went to poop in a very timely manner. I ended up having to solder the connection from the MR350 cable to the adapter and it was a pain, a real pain. So be advised, if you use a usb connector with this product that piece of tubing is supplied for a very good reason...
Now I do also have to mention the Smooth Talker cell booster. This Canadian made product should be required by law to be installed in every motor vehicle. Time and time again it has made the difference in being able to make/receive cell calls and not being able to use the cell phone; and this has happened in both areas near the Canadian border here in the Northeast, to rural areas of Maine, NH, VT, CT, NY, PA down through the hills of TN, NC, SC, everywhere we like to go when we do get to jump in our small rv and hit the road.
Forgot, if you do get a MR350 remember to order the usb adapter cable if you want to connect through a usb port OR make certain that the cable is included, the first time we ordered it was not-though the company made it clear and the second time the cable was included-and do some searching, the price varies ALOT, the last time around we got both the MR350 and the usb cable for about $65usd....
Thanks for a great site
Marvin Hlavac
I hope you don't mind I added a picture from your photo gallery to your first post on top.
GlobalSat GPS MR-350 is not for everyone, but for a motorhome, an RV, a truck, or if you manage a fleet of ambulances, fire trucks, etc, it may be the perfect solution.
Thanks for the info about the USB cable being included in some packages, but not in others!
I do agree that this or any permanently mounted antenna has its limitations but somewhere I saw a magnetic add on for the MR350 just can't remember where.
The GPS antenna did sort of blend in on the picture, the highlighting does help out.
I just purchased one off ebay for a total of $25.00, the cable was $11.00 total. I want one for my new delivery cargo van. This allows me to keep a laptop docking station mounted in the vehicle with the power and GPS cables already connected to it. I plan on having the entire set up installed this weekend and will add some pictures afterward.
Alright, I have an appointment to have my entire setup installed by a very experienced local tech on Sat. morning. I am no longer needing this in my Scion but rather the big cargo van instead. So I decided to utilize a Thinkpad Docking Station and a bulkhead GPS receiver(MR-350P) to make it more of a permanent and convenient setup. I suppose the inverter could be mounted somewhere on that console box.

Kim was criticized for her choice in maternity wear when she stepped out in a pink voluminous Lanvin mini dress that failed to flatter her pregnancy figure last month. Kim redeemed herself when she stepped out in a very similar style in New York on Wednesday. She wore an almost identical black knit frock, which this time had short capped sleeves. It slimmed down her physique and featured a higher bustline which made her seem less top heavy. The darker shade also appeared to make her large baby bump disappear, despite the material sitting tight across her waistline. Kim teamed her dress with a pair of cut-out ankle booties and a large black crocodile skin clutch.
Which of these looks did she rock better? The pink or black knit dress?

Lightbulbs: An App to address The UN goal of Good Health & Living.
Team Lightbulbs built a solution designed to address food security in South Africa, in response to the recent listeriosis outbreak. Their solution aims to place more knowledge in the hands of the citizens and consumers, whilst encouraging retailers and producers to work more closely in the early detection of risks associated with disease in foods.
The Business and Societal Need:
People in society lack knowledge of the origin of food products they consume daily. As a result, issues such as the recent listeriosis outbreak in South Africa in 2017-2018, threaten citizen health and in more serious cases can lead to loss of life. Citizens need better access to information so that they can make more informed decisions about their food choices. In so doing, they can take better control of their health.
The Idea:
We created an interactive IoT system using MQTT tech with Arduino uno and an ESP8266 sensor device. The system operates in real-time and allows farmers to keep track of all crop production processes as well as monitor temperature, soil and water consumption of the crops they're growing. It creates a platform through its firebase designed database that will allow consumers and production houses access to all information on any crop that is available for retail.
The Solution:
Providing consumers and citizens with more information about the food they consume; information that goes beyond the nutritional guide stamped on food labels. The solution is designed to link retailers (supermarkets) and producers (farmers) together, thereby encouraging them to work collaboratively to tackle the constant risk of disease that can occur in perishable food, such as the recent listeriosis outbreak. By providing a platform supported with sensors designed to measure and monitor any potential disease or risk, retailers and producers can store their food data in a centralised location that is supported with data management and analysis to improve early detection of any risks.
The Intended Impact:
Food security. Providing citizens and consumers more knowledge about the foods they consume and encouraging them to support local farmers and grow their own food. Simultaneously, the platform encourages retailers and producers to work collaboratively in their efforts to increase early detection, and reduce the risk of, food disease.
Watch below the as Tiisetso explains the solution.
Our future growth is limited by a chronic shortage of skills and lack of women in tech. This gap isn't just bad for women, its bad for business.

UAE's Majid Al Futtaim Eyes $1bn Investments
The developer of shopping malls will go on a roadshow to raise money from institutional investors for the purchase of a minority share in Carrefour.
The developer of shopping malls will go on a roadshow to raise money from institutional investors for the purchase of a minority share in Carrefour.
UAE's Majid Al Futtaim Holding (MAF) – sole franchise of hypermarket chain Carrefour in the Gulf – said it foresaw capital investments of up to $1 billion this year as it steadily expanded its foothold in the region.
This did not include a $680 million purchase of a 25 per cent minority share from Carrefour Groupe in the company announced last week that will give it full ownership of the Carrefour franchise in the region, Iyad Malas, the chief executive officer said in an interview on Saturday.
"Our capital investments could be anywhere between $600 million and $1 billion this year," said Malas on the sideline of the World Economic Forum (WEF) on the Middle East and Africa.
The developer and operator of shopping malls will go on a roadshow to raise the money from institutional investors for the purchase of its minority share, Malas said.
Sales growth in the region had not been affected by the Arab spring because consumption rates continued to grow and even investments continued to grow.
"In 2010 we spent capex of over a billion dollars and since then it slowed down a little bit not because we want to but we are not seeing things moving as fast," Malas said.
MAF, the franchisee for Carrefour hypermarkets in 19 countries in and operator of some of the biggest malls across the Middle East and North Africa, was expected to maintain healthy growth in 2013, he said.
Sales outlook for 2013 was "hopefully in line with a 10 rise" in Q1, compared to nine per cent growth last year, Malas said.
"Clearly Dubai is our big base but our focus is on retail and shopping malls. These sectors have continued to do well everywhere because the average Egyptian or Jordanian still wants to eat and we are low cost provider. We are not offering high end offering we are offering something for the mass," Malas said.
The emirate's population has been swelled by people seeking refuge from political strife in the Middle East and economic malaise in Europe, which is also supporting retail sales.
"We are a big buyer, we have good purchasing power from the suppliers and we pass this on to consumers," he said.
MAF's major regional investment was a retail and entertainment complex in Egypt at an investment worth around $600 million. The firm was also looking at a presence in Libya and had just expanded in Lebanon, with a large project that was opened recently.
But a prime investment in Syria before the 2011 uprising remains suspended because of the civil war and one Carrefour store in Syria's Aleppo was shut as a result of the violence.
"We just opened our last store in Beirut and we will continue to expand into the rest of the territory this year with a healthy outlook," Malas said

We raise Red Ranger chickens and Peking-French Grimaud hybrid ducks. Our birds live in open-bottomed pens that are moved each morning to fresh pasture grown with organic practices. They have access to grass, bugs, sunshine (and rain) and are sheltered and protected in their moveable homes. Their feed is supplemented with locally milled grain that is certified organic/gmo-free (chickens) or conventionally raised (ducks). Birds are processed at Mineral Springs Poultry, an ODA-inspected facility located in Willamina, though we do process some whole chickens on-farm. We are please to offer whole ducks and a variety of chicken for sale: whole birds, breasts, wings, and more – please see our price list for details.
Grass-fed Lamb
We primarily raise Dorper sheep, which are prized for their mild flavor. Dorpers are hair sheep, meaning that they shed their wool (that's why they look a bit untidy in the photos). All sheep are raised on pasture grown with organic practices and are not given hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics. All lambs are 100% grass fed.

In October 2016, ONC released the ONC Health IT Certification Program: Enhanced Oversight and Accountability Final Rule. The final rule updates the Program by establishing a regulatory framework for ONC's direct review of health IT certified under the Program. ONC may choose to initiate direct review in two distinct sets of circumstances:
- When there is a reasonable belief that the certified health IT may present a serious risk to public health or safety[1]; or
- When a review of certified health IT could present practical challenges for ONC-ACBs.
If one or both of these circumstances is met, ONC will consider three additional principles in determining whether it should initiate direct review. First, ONC's direct review of certified health IT—and any subsequent determination of non-conformity—must be based on a reasonable belief that health IT may be, or is, in violation of Program requirements. Second, the focus of direct review is on the performance of the health IT's certified capabilities (that is, capabilities or other aspects of the health IT that are certified under the Program). ONC will only review the uncertified capabilities that are part of health IT products to the extent that the capability or uncertified health IT interacts with and is relevant to the performance of certified capabilities. Third, a health IT developer cannot be held responsible for problems or issues with its technology that are not reasonably within its ability to influence or control.
ONC may elect to not initiate direct review (or, if it has initiated direct review, to cease such review) at any time and for any reason. For example, ONC may elect not to initiate (or to cease) review if it believes that another government agency is better situated to investigate or address a suspected non-conformity or that direct review could duplicate or interfere with the oversight or enforcement activities of other agencies. ONC may coordinate and share information with other agencies and may engage other persons and entities, as appropriate, to effectively respond to suspected problems with certified health IT.
If ONC determines a suspected non-conformity or non-conformity exists in certified health IT, it will send a notice to the health IT developer. The health IT developer will have 30 days to respond to the notice (unless ONC adjusts the response timeframe). ONC will require corrective action for non-conformities and, when necessary, suspend or terminate a certification issued to a Complete EHR or Health IT Module. In cases of termination of a certification, ONC may coordinate with other Department of Health and Human Services programs, such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to help identify and make available appropriate remedies to users of terminated certified health IT. Health IT developers may appeal determinations by ONC to suspend or terminate certifications issued to health IT under the Program. ONC's first and foremost goal is to work with health IT developers to remedy any identified non-conformities of certified health IT in a timely manner.
ONC receives information on the performance of health IT certified under the Program from a variety of sources including but not limited to: ONC-ACBs' surveillance reports, issues submitted to ONC from ONC-ACBs or ONC-Authorized Testing Laboratories (ONC-ATLs), issues submitted directly to ONC, and referrals from other government agencies. ONC analyzes information gathered from these various sources to identify circumstances that may warrant direct review. ONC typically shares any information received with the relevant ONC-ACB, to be address through its existing procedures. However, there may be circumstances when ONC would not share information with the relevant ONC-ACB, such as when a complaint includes confidential information.
[1] On a case by case basis, ONC will consider a variety of factors to determine if a serious risk is presented, including the nature, extent and severity of the risk, the imminence of the risk of harm, and actions being taken to mitigate the risk or information that calls into question the validity of the health IT's certification.
