Prev part - Masterlist - Next part

Like 3 cats mesmerized by seeing a laser dot on the wall, there were Norm, Jake and Eli, watching as they took out the huge bodies of the avatars and prepared them for the link.

"It's a bit crepey. Those things are alive." Eli confessed, rubbing a bump on his head that Jake had given him in the morning from waking him up with a water base on his face.

"In fact, they can't be said to be alive at all..." Norm said, letting the nerdy side of him come out. "Unless someone is connected the only thing they are able to display is-"

Norm froze at what he was saying, turning to see Eli with raised eyebrows at him. A clear expression that says. "That's not what I meant and I'm not interested in further explanation."

A little intimidated, Norm looked back at the avatars. "Of course." He muttered under his breath.

Jake shook his head, maintaining a slight smile. At least the scientist was starting to get used to them and their different behaviors. He just had to wait a little longer and they would too.

The heavy, demanding footsteps revealed that the person about to pass behind them was Dr. Grace.

"Come on, we’re loosing daylight." Ordered the woman without stopping to look at them.

Eli rolled his eyes in disgust. It was barely the second day and he was already annoyed with the woman. That was a new record.

With the men's attention finally on what was important, they moved around the lab to the MIND machines (direct neural interface machines).

"Norm, how much link time have you logged?" Grace asked, walking over to the nearest machine.

"About 520 hours."

Grace nodded in satisfaction. "That's good." When they got to the empty machines she pointed to the one next to her. "You’re in there." She instructed him, then turned to the soldiers, completely changing her countenance. "You. Come with me."

A few steps to the right were enough to reach another basic machine. "How long have you logged, Eli?" asked the woman without taking her eyes off the controls.

"Never. But they told me how it works."

The doctor finally turned around only to look at him with an expression that showed disbelief. Eli's nonchalant tone was driving her crazy. "You got to be kidding." The shake that Jake made with his head was the answer. She sighed heavily and turned back to the controls. "Lay down and don’t touch anything." She ordered heavily in her words.

As Eli sat at the machine Jake came rolling to poke at the gel from the edges. "It's cool." The marine expressed with a smile on his face, causing an equal expression in his best friend.

They couldn't deny that science could be interesting. The boring ones are the scientists.

Eli lay down on the machine and tugged at the collar of the shirt they had given him, somewhat dissatisfied. The three new avatar drivers had been dressed in the same clothes they used to put them in the cryogenic capsules, and they couldn't be more uncomfortable. The doc grabbed the first part of the cover, which consisted of a plastic mold with some electrodes, and put it on his torso.

Curiously, Eli raised his head to see what was covering him, but the woman's hand on his forehead pushed his head back down. "Head down." The soldier grumbled under his breath. He raised his hand to adjust the tight collar of his shirt again, but again, the woman stopped him. "Geez marine. Can't you hold still?"

Eli rolled his eyes at Jake's laugh as he kept looking at them.

In one quick move, when Dr. Grace was busy with the machine's controls, Eli reached up for his hand and gave Jake the middle finger. He lowered his hand when he heard a snort, he could only see the ceiling from his position, just in time before the doctor turned around. "Okay. Just relax and clear your mind. It shouldn't be too hard." She said, then lowered the last lid and turned to Jake, not seeing the middle finger that dried her as she turned her back on him.

The only one who noticed the action had been Jake, who turned to look away to avoid being seen laughing.

Eli was encapsulated in an almost completely dark space when the lid finally closed. It let out that significant sound that denoted that it had been pressure sealed. He felt the machine moving towards what from his point of view is above and he heard strange sounds, but he didn't feel that anything was really happening.

However, from the outside the scientists were aware of everything that was happening between his brain and the one they were going to connect to him.

"Link ready to load." Announced the scientist on the computer. Max, who was next to her, was looking attentively at the screen.

"Biometrics?" he asked without taking his eyes off the screen at the same time, more attentive to the brain of her avatar while she watched the human brain.

"Ideal and obtaining the first congruence."

Max nodded. "Good. Executing sequence on 2... Go." With just 2 movements of his fingers, he create a connection between two bodies that initially should have never been united.

"Activated" she announced, confirming that the process had started. "Phase-lock at 40%".

Max scrolled the computer image of his screen onto the tablet next to him and walked over to the window that connected to the avatar medical room.

"Phase-lock at 70%. 89%" he hears his partner announcing how fast the connection was forming.

Max, finally looking up from the tablet, turned his attention to the huge blue bodies. "Let's see what this beautiful brain can teach us." He mumbled, hearing Grace's voice giving Jake instructions in the background…or maybe it was a scolding. He couldn't know.

The soldier, now accustomed to the metallic sound of the machine, closed his eyes and cleared his mind as the doctor told him. He took a long, last breath that relaxed his body. Consequently, letting his mind finally travel through the new escape created by the scientists.

He felt strange, first he was uncomfortable with his clothes and trying to ignore the sound of the machine and the next his nose was disturbed by the pugnacious smell of disinfectant.

"He's in."

He heard someone's voice in the distance, as if he was underwater. He tried to open his eyes, closing them instantly as he felt irritation from the strong white lights in the place.

"Eli. Can you hear me?" he heard the voice again, but this time clearer. Identifying it as a man's. Undoubtedly young.

He opened his eyes again allowing himself to adjust to the light. The blurry images became clear from incomprehensible points until they reached a definition beyond what his human eyes had ever seen. With his third sense in sync, the soldier was able to notice two scientists above him.

"Can you hear me?"

This time he was able to identify that the voice was coming from the scientist to the right of him. He blinked a few times to finish getting used to his new eyes and mumbled. "Loud and clear doc."

The confirmation put a smile on both scientists. But even so, to make sure that everything was in order, the scientist to the right of him snapped his fingers in both pointed ears. He showed a satisfied expression seeing them respond to the sound. "Normal Pinna response." He told his partner.

The younger looking one of the two nodded as he took out a flashlight from his suit pocket. "Eli, could you look up?" He asked the soldier in his new body.

"Yeah." Eli whispered, accommodating his head on the stretcher, feeling the braid above his neck.

When the light from the flashlight hit his new yellow eyes it caused his pupils to shrink to almost nothing until the light passed into the next eyes, responding in kind. "Okay, everything looks in order. Could you follow my finger?" he asked again as he raised his finger in front of his eyes and moved it from side to side.

He smirked as his eyes followed the movement of his troubled finger. "Pupillary reflexes look good and he does not seem to have vision problems." He informs to his partner.

"Okay, what we'll do next will be simple routine procedures." The older scientist told him, looking Eli in the eye. His experience in the area was evident in his tone of voice. "Please sit down." He indicated taking a few steps back when the avatar raised his torso. "Be careful, you could get dizzy."

Eli made an "o" with his mouth as he sat down on the table. He knew that avatars were big, but he didn't imagine that he would feel that way. His grip on the edges of the stretcher tightened to keep from wobbling. "Wow, it seems like everything has shrunk." He exclaimed with a bare-fanged smile. Still surprised that his ears twitched at any movement in the room, especially towards the stretcher to his left where Norm was talking to his fellow scientists.

The young scientist smiled, fascinated to be so close to an avatar. This was the first time for him as much as it was for the soldier. The other scientist, on the other hand, smiled more calmly. He had already lived with the scientists in their avatar bodies for more than two years. But that didn't take away from how good it felt to welcome a newbie.

"It's normal for you to feel that. Your avatar is 2.89m tall. It's above average for the avatars height, but well within the average for Pandora natives."

'1.09 m makes quite a difference in perspective.' Eli thought, watching his hands open and close into fists.

"Don't worry, after the training exercises you will be so new that you will jump like rabbits did in the past". The older scientist said when he saw the soldier rotating his neck and arms to get used to feeling them.

"And if I prefer as a frog?" he joked, he just wanted to contradict him just for having some fun. But it was a pleasant surprise that widened his smile when the other scientist joined the game.

"Actually it would be more like a cat," he said, using an enthusiastic tone.

The experienced scientist rolled his eyes, but didn't take the smile off his face. "Okay Eli, please get your feet off this side of the bed and reach out to me with your hands." He ordered the avatar driver.

He was again pleased when the man followed in his orders. When he had been told that the one who would take over as driver would be a soldier, the poor scientist had expected someone with an ego for the heavens, a frown that would create wrinkles and a honestly shitty character, but it's a pleasant surprise.

"Like this?" asked the soldier as he raised his hands palm up.

"Yes, now please-" Eli's ears flicked before the heads of the three to the worried voices of the last few scientists he had only just realized were in the room.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw Jake, awake and trying to get up from the table. 'Oh no.'

"Uh wait. Sit down Jake"

"Jake, listen to me."

The scientists spoke with concern clear in more than just their voices. But it was obvious that a certain Marine wasn't paying attention. The only thing that had his attention at that moment was his new legs. Some that worked.

"It's okay… it's all good. I got this." Jake muttered. He placed his hand on one of the room's panes after avoiding leaning too far back.

The poor scientist behind Jake and the one helping Eli had to back off as the soldier's new tail flicked erratically, hitting them.

"Jake, Jake. I need you to sit down."

"Jake," Eli called, trying to get his attention, but to no avail.

Jake got enough balance to pull himself upright only to do a quick turn when he felt his tail touch his shoulder. A PAM, called everyone's attention. The inexperienced avatar's eyes widened when he started into other yellow ones just like his, but full of indignation. His best friend was holding his cheek with his palm and his eyebrows were raised. But the most interesting thing was his expression that clearly reflected what he thought. "Did you really just slapped me with your tail?"

Jake let out a laugh as he took a few steps to the side, out of the small space between the window and the stretcher. "This is amazing." He exclaimed with euphoria.

"Jake, for God's sake. Sit down at once." Eli said a little exasperated and worried about his friend.

But it was still useless. "Of course not. I've been sitting around for years- Enough already." Jake answered with difficulty having to use the wall as a support to avoid falling.

"Sedate. Sedate him." Shouted the scientist who saw Jake, to his partner. "Thousand milligrams of Supitocam."

Eli had to stop the electrode monitor that Jake was walking away from before he hit one of the scientists. "Jake be careful."

When the scientist had the syringe in her hands she turned around, ready to inject it, but instead she had to get out of the way of a large blue inexperienced body before he could run over her.

"Someone stop him." They hear Max's voice over all the commotion, but it was too late. Jake used the new strength of his Na'vi body to basically slam the first door he faced on his way outside.

Eli let out an exasperated growl at seeing no other option, unconsciously lowering his ears. He got out of bed with some difficulty, removing the electrodes with quick hands.

"Eli, Eli. Please sit down." I speak to the young scientist.

"I have to go get him before he gets hurt." Eli responded hastily as he jerked his hand away to remove an electrode that stuck to his finger. Beside him he could hear Norm trying to do the same and arguing with the scientists. Three $5 trillion dolar bodies escaping from the labs was not the best possible scenario or a safe one. Even less when the bodies measure almost 3 meters.

"Someone please stop the avatars!"

Ignoring the chaos that had been caused in seconds, Eli staggered toward the door. He used the stretcher and the wall for support when necessary, but luckily the more steps he took the more he got used to his new legs.

"JAKE!" Eli called his friend who kept walking away from him. "Oh my god." He exclaim having to hold on to the frame of the last door when tripping over his own foot. "JAKE!"

He took a metaphorical leap of faith by letting go and jogging on the blacktop of the basketball court in front of the lab.

"Excuse me." He quickly told the avatars that were playing before being interrupted by an escaping soldier.

The avatar driver with the ball in hand didn't seem upset at the situation, on the contrary, he raised his hand with a smile greeting him. "Hello."

As fast as he could and without falling, Eli returned the gesture.

Behind him, Norm and most of the scientists came out of the same door, but the only one who didn't stop when he saw how far the soldiers were already ahead of them, was Norm. "Hey. Wait for me." Shouted the scientist who stayed behind. "Jake, Eli, you have to get back. You can't run yet." Ironically, contrary to what he said, both soldiers displayed excellent control in their new bodies, allowing them to stretch out their legs and use them to their currently maximum capacity.

To his surprise and his relief, Eli gave up trying to stop Jake, going from running to jogging to walking. "Eli."

The avatar turned around at hearing his name, startled as he instantly reached out his arms to catch Norm's as his foot wobbled away from him. "Are you okay?" He ask him breathless, exercise and laughter cause that. He found it peculiarly funny how Norm resembled a child trying to take his first step on a trampoline, not to mention his tail was wagging from side to side erratically.

"Am I okay? You were the ones who ran away." He finally answered him by standing tall in front of the soldier.

"And you were the one who followed us." Eli replied, turning around and starting to walk. Amusingly, his own robe exposed his bottom and calmly billowing tail.

"H-Hey, where are you going?" with shaky steps Norm followed.

"To find an airhead. Are you coming?"

Without waiting another second Norm began to follow the avatar. For anyone who saw them from far it would be a curious scene. A scientist walking with a small step but as fast as he could behind a taller avatar that was now keeping a firm step.

Taking advantage of the fact that his back is to him, Norm gives him a dirty look when he almost stumbles again. He envied the ease with which someone who had 0 hours of training could adapt.

Instead, Eli was too busy admiring the surroundings to notice the scientist and the two left feet of his. It was the first time in his entire life that he saw so much green, so much nature around him that it purified the air that filled his new lungs. It��s refreshing. A word that made no sense on earth.

Finally, after walking a few more meters in Paradise, Eli saw the back of the idiot he had been following for a while. "Hey, Airhead"

Jake jumped in his place, turning to see his best friend with a smile full of juice from the fruit in his hand. He hadn't quite gotten used to the ability of the new Na'vi ears yet, and possibly he never would.

"Bro, you have to try this." Jake told him. Ignoring what he called him, he tossed the fruit to Eli who caught it with ease.

He looked at Jake then at the fruit with some uncertainty, but finally took a bite. His taste buds exploded with euphoria upon contact with the fruit juice.

Inadvertently his eyes widened and his ears perked up in delight.

"Damn," Eli exclaimed, earning a laugh from Jake.

"Hey, check this out." The soldiers turned to see Norm finally arriving with them. He spread his arms and began to pose like a bodybuilder. "I'm a Greek god. This is amazing-agh"

They both laughed when Norm ended up tripping over one of the roots in the garden, but it was funnier to see him get up and clean his robe as if nothing had happened.

"I'm fine. Nothing to see here."

Eli's ears twitched at an unfamiliar laugh. He turned around, surprised to see a woman in an avatar appearing from behind Jake.

"Hey Eli, you won't believe who she is." Jake expressed to his friend that he was still not taking his eyes off the woman, but to his surprise, his friend was good at recognizing human faces beneath Na'vi features.

But the astonishment of seeing the same doctor in such a fine and delicate body, with extravagantly undulating hips was not something he would recognize in the woman's human body, it was still hard for him to believe it possible. She not only looks good (in fact, she looked stunning but he would never accept it) but she also looks younger.

"Doc?" Jake raised his eyebrows at the quickness of the response.

Grace gave him a closed-lipped smile with some amusement. "Wow. Not so stupid after all."

Eli snorted and shook his head. Of course that would be the first thing she would say, it was no longer new.

"What are you waiting for standing there? The bodies have already been released, now we have to work on them." The doctor clapped her hands to get the three's attention and motioned for them to move on to the cabin. Herding them like a group of children.

Although it was not that far from reality. Just a few minutes ago you were taking your first steps in a new body.

The doctor snorted a laugh when she saw the naked and blue buts of the 3 adults.

'This will be interesting' thought the doctor.

A few hours and a lot of training later, all the RDA avatars were in the designated cabin preparing to sleep.

All in their pajamas and many even with towels drying their hair, they circled inside the wooden structure arranging their stations. Their every move was controlled to avoid hurting the human scientists walking among them.

Eli was crouched in the trunk at the foot of his bed going over what he had been assigned to use with the avatar and making a mental list of what he needed. He moved his neck and shoulders from time to time to release the tension in the muscles, generated by the day's training, trying to follow the routine that he uses as a human in a new body had not been the best of his ideas. But still he bet that without training his avatar body is still stronger than his human body.

"Hey, Eli. Look at this creepy thing."

"Mm?" Not paying to much attention, he turned around. He ended up leaning back when in front of his face were what looked like the tentacles of an octopus moving. "What the fuck is that?" Now with more distance he could see that the tentacles were at the end of Jake's braid.

"I don't know. But it seems like all the avatars have it." He answered without further explanation. He couldn't take his eyes off that thing.

Eli grabbed his own braid and lifted it up. He was astonished to see that, indeed, when the hair at the end of the braid fell, it left waving pink tentacles. "How creepy!"

"Very creepy." He answered him.

Grace rolled her eyes as she passed them, but she stopped in front of his bed and put her hands on her small waist. "Don't let those things get entwined between you."

Both avatars jumped in their place, turning to see the woman with ears perked up as if they were children found doing something they shouldn't.

"Why not?" Jake asked.

"Do you want to end up being married on Na'vi terms?" Both soldiers instantly leaned back, pulling as far away as they could with a disgusted expression. "I thought so." Without further ado she takes her way ordering the scientists. "Hurry everyone. Go to sleep kittens."

Jake and Eli exchanged a last couple of glances before continuing with what they were doing before that stupid incident.

Was that really possible?

Getting married to connect some braids did not seem to have any kind of consistency.

But they were on a hostile planet light-years from Earth, driving blue bodies and twice the size of what they're used to, so consistency didn't have much to do with it.

When the scientists were finally out, Grace closed the metal doors and locked them to make sure no animals could get in and harm the avatars while they were gone. She then headed over to the light panels. "Lights out." She said to herself as she turned off the light switches. "I'll see you at dinner kittens"

Even when the veil of darkness fell over them, many kept turning on the huge beds of their avatars. Especially Norm, Jake and Eli. They couldn't find a comfortable position where the tail or braid wouldn't get in the way.

But even between them, Jake, despite having found a sleeping position, still didn't close his eyes.

He turned to look to the side, finding the back of a scientist and looking at the other bed, there was Eli's avatar deeply unconscious. He had already logged out.

It wasn't that easy for him. He didn't want to return to a reality where he couldn't feel or move his legs, and doing the simple things of everyday life was difficult.

In the end, he closed the eyes of his avatar, ignoring the sounds of the unknown animals in the wild, and traveled in the newly formed bond to his body.

It was time to wake up.

Chapter 6: The Decay of Our Lives (#27f)

Four study halls on this floor. Guessing that’s why the two full-speed people among us got assigned here. 

But it also means they could’ve overlooked something. Time to full-speed it myself if I can.

Nothing in Aki’s or Yuki’s seems particularly off. Just memories I don’t need to deal with right now. Keep moving.

This one’s also still unlocked, of course.

With the same gaps in the toolboxes, as far as I can tell. 

“So the mastermind already took out anything that could have gotten through the main door lock, right?”

That’s the only answer that makes sense here. Explains the lack of welding equipment despite the helmet sitting here, too.

“Which means this place was prepared by someone other than the young master.”

Wouldn’t be any point grabbing a helmet and chucking out a few tools you bought otherwise, unless you’re just trying to get me to come to this conclusion. If so, they could’ve done a better job trying to imply it anywhere else.

“...Does that mean the real Apex Academy gave Itsurou guns?”

We can worry about that later. Already know they don’t have perfect safety protocols, considering an entire class of their students got kidnapped and remained missing for, what, months? Anyway.

Still has that torn-open bag of gel capsules. Before I know what I’m doing, I’ve ripped it off the shelf and stuffed it in a tiny trashcan that’s clearly only fit for cotton swabs and bandage wrappers.

...The trash was empty, anyway. Not messing up any evidence.

And the rest of the room... still feels empty, too.

“Actually... Did the young master take things from this room, too?”

It’s not impossible. But what at a nurse’s station would be a threat to them? Seems like most of it would just be more potential murder weapons.

Whatever it may have been didn’t leave any obvious traces behind, so I don’t have any way to guess. Better keep moving before Monochap decides we’ve had enough time here.

KOTODAMA GET

Missing Tools: Kazusuke’s study hall is stocked with mechanical and welding tools, but a number of them are obviously missing.

PHOTOS ARE TAKEN ON MARCH 2023 (some emptied on or before March of 2023)

WHAT IS IT: Skincare

THOUGHTS:

Another Bright Cleansing Pad - This was my sister's purchase from Korea, she had to give it to me for whatever reason lol she did told me that this cleansing pad does not remove waterproof masacara which was a negative and it has a really powerful citrus-y smell that is just overwhleming. Although I did not use it on my face I just use it to remove swatches on my arm.

Iunik Tea Tree Relief Serum - This product really help calm down the redness because of my acne. I really thought I bought a bogus product because I didn't really see an effect on my face but I realized I was using it for the wrong reason. Had to stop it for awhile because I wasn't breaking out for some time then I used it again, when I had really inflamed acne. This serum thought me that you really have to stop and just analyze what going on with your skin, what's causing the breakout then do your research or look over your skincare pantry if you have any products that could help your skin situation before buying anything else.

Happy Skin Hyaluronic + B3 boost capsule serum - Didn't really see a massive difference on my skin. One thing tho, it did not broke me out.

Panoxyl Acne Creamy Wash - I'm so happy that I found this IG page that sells this brand! I've been looking for this product for sooo long because this one helped with my acne since college days then it was phased out. Luckily tiktok is bringing this product back but you can only buy it online not in drugstores.

Happy Skin Invisible Sun Gel Primer - For me, it feels really silicone-y. I would oil up faster when using this product with or w/out make up. Just wanted to try it. Pricey? Uhmm Yes.

Centellian 24 Madeca Cream - Night time moisturizer for years now! Sad thing is I'm not using it as often as I would like because I work at night and this moisturizer is too heavy for work. Still does what supposed to do, help calm down redness, helps with skin barrier and when you wake up in the morning your skin looks real plump!

Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Strawberry Lip Scrub - I got this as a freebie way back when. Didn't really use it when I checked all the products I have that's just sitting on my shelf not being used to their full potential, it got bad. Smells really good before like strawberry vanilla it has a pink tint after when you used it. But then again, I don't really see myself using it.

[13thpythagoras]

all I can say is I recommend the highly rated book, by Rick Simpson,

Nature's Answer for Cancer

I don't even shop on Amazon but I read the reviews there like a social scientist. This book has the most reviews on the topic and has over a 4.5 star rating, which is high for any book on Amazon. Why is it getting high reviews when it's a non-fiction book that contradicts the FDA?

Check the reviews of the FDA, if you can find any, how many stars out of 5 does the FDA get from consumers?...

There is so much godawful stuff out there giving us cancer, I'm not even 40 yet and I've had plenty of friends get colon cancer.

I'm just saying whether you smoke or not, you are going to significantly reduce your likelihood of getting cancer if you can do a cancer-cleanse every few years, cannabis extract, or cannabis tincture is the remedy, orally ingested via capsule. I've done a cancer cleanse myself, my own mom has cancer, she won't entertain this idea so I'm practicing how to warm people up to the idea.

I've used this to heal a dog's tumors, this does work for pets, of course much lower dosages are needed and whatnot but no this does work for cats, dogs, and most mammalian pets that have received research. This is really a front line of medicine.

It's tough to see the medical industry and cancer doctors basically hypnotize my mom, and keep her averse to taking her cannabis extract medicine. It's not even psychoactive, since it doesn't bind with lipids, it's just boiled with alcohol and distilled into that extract or tincture, those are two words for the same thing if I'm not mistaken, basically an alcohol reduction after thorough mixing with the indica flower. It does give the stomach a warm glow perhaps, but it's not psychoactive the way "pot brownies" are. I get affected by pot brownies as much as the next person and they render me non-functional from a working perspective. Cannabis extract is not a blip on that radar.

Cannabis extract will eat through a typical gel-cap you can find at the grocery store, in about 5-15 minutes, whether you freeze it or not, the oil will acidically eat through the wall of the gel capsule and make a huge mess if you're not careful. These are one-at-a-time capsules, where you drop medicine in an empty capsule, close it and take it with water right away, without putting any more medicine in capsules until your next dosage.

I'm just saying, yolo and live long and prosper, the natives were the original cultivators of tobacco, it's not wrong to want a puff or two now and then of the peace pipe. I have known plenty of non-smokers who lost their lives too young...

i don't smoke for the obvious reasons of not wanting to develop an addiction to nicotine but god do i so often feel the emotion 'i need a cigarette'.

Lipozem Weight Loss Review

What is  Lipozem Reviews?

 Lipozem Reviews is a weight loss supplement marketed as a natural and easy way to reduce body fat. Its active ingredient is glucomannan, a water-soluble fiber derived from the root of the konjac plant. Glucomannan is known for its ability to absorb water and expand in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reduced appetite, which in turn can help with weight management.

The Science Behind Glucomannan

The key to  Lipozem Reviews’s formula is glucomannan, a dietary fiber that has been researched for its potential benefits in weight management. When taken with water, glucomannan swells in the stomach, forming a gel-like substance. This expansion can delay the emptying of the stomach, creating a sense of fullness, which may reduce overall calorie intake. Additionally, glucomannan is believed to help regulate blood sugar levels and improve digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements.

 Lipozem Reviews Ingredients

Besides glucomannan,  Lipozem Reviews  contains a blend of inactive ingredients that serve as fillers and stabilizers. These include gelatin, magnesium silicate, and stearic acid. However, the primary focus remains on glucomannan, which is the ingredient responsible for the weight loss claims.

Glucomannan: A natural, water-soluble fiber that helps control appetite and improve satiety.

Gelatin: A binding agent used in capsules.

Magnesium silicate: Often used as an anti-caking agent in supplements.

Stearic acid: Another filler ingredient, commonly used in supplements to enhance consistency.

How Does  Lipozem Reviews Work?

 Lipozem Reviews works primarily by curbing appetite and reducing overall caloric intake through the action of glucomannan. When taken with water, the fiber expands in the stomach, creating a sensation of fullness. As a result, individuals may feel less hungry and eat smaller portions during meals. This can lead to a calorie deficit, which is necessary for weight loss.

Appetite Suppression

One of the primary benefits of  Lipozem Reviews is its ability to suppress appetite. Since the glucomannan fiber absorbs water and expands, it creates a feeling of fullness in the stomach. This means users are less likely to snack between meals or overeat during meals, which can be a crucial factor in weight loss.

Reduced Calorie Absorption

Another proposed mechanism of action is glucomannan’s ability to reduce calorie absorption. As a fiber, glucomannan can bind to certain dietary fats and carbohydrates, preventing their full absorption in the intestines. However, the extent to which this contributes to weight loss is still a topic of debate in scientific research.

Improved Digestive Health

In addition to its weight loss benefits, glucomannan may also promote better digestive health. It functions as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut. By improving gut health,  Lipozem Reviews could support overall well-being, although this benefit is not necessarily related to weight loss.

Scientific Evidence: Does  Lipozem Reviews Really Work?

While  Lipozem Reviews’s active ingredient, glucomannan, has been studied for its potential weight loss benefits, the scientific evidence is mixed.

Studies Supporting Glucomannan for Weight Loss Several clinical trials have shown that glucomannan can lead to modest weight loss when combined with a calorie-controlled diet. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that glucomannan supplementation resulted in significant weight loss compared to a placebo. Participants who took glucomannan experienced reductions in body weight, BMI, and waist circumference over several weeks.

Conflicting Studies On the other hand, not all studies have found glucomannan to be effective. A study published in Obesity found no significant difference in weight loss between participants who took glucomannan and those who took a placebo. The researchers concluded that glucomannan alone might not be sufficient for substantial weight loss, and additional lifestyle changes like diet and exercise may be necessary.

Overall Conclusion While glucomannan has shown some promise in clinical trials, the weight loss results are typically modest.  Lipozem Reviews should not be viewed as a magic pill for weight loss but rather as a tool that can aid in appetite control and calorie reduction when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Customer Reviews of  Lipozem Reviews

The effectiveness of  Lipozem Reviews has been met with mixed reviews from users. On popular online platforms like Amazon,  Lipozem Reviews has garnered thousands of reviews, with both positive and negative feedback.

Positive Reviews

Many users report that  Lipozem Reviews helped them reduce their appetite and control portion sizes, leading to gradual weight loss over time. Some claim to have lost several pounds after taking the supplement for a few weeks, particularly when combined with a healthier diet.

One satisfied customer noted, “I’ve been using  Lipozem Reviews for three months, and I’ve lost 15 pounds. It’s really helped me control my cravings and stop snacking late at night.”

Another reviewer shared a similar experience: “I was skeptical at first, but after trying  Lipozem Reviews, I noticed a real difference in my appetite. I didn’t feel as hungry throughout the day, and that helped me stay on track with my diet.”

Negative Reviews

However, not all reviews are glowing. Many users report little to no weight loss after using  Lipozem Reviews, while others mention experiencing side effects like bloating, stomach discomfort, and diarrhea. Some customers felt that the product did not live up to its claims and were disappointed with the lack of results.

A frustrated reviewer stated, “I tried  Lipozem Reviews for a month, and I didn’t lose a single pound. I followed the instructions and took it with plenty of water, but it didn’t do anything for me.”

Another user mentioned, “ Lipozem Reviews made me feel bloated and gassy, and I didn’t notice any difference in my appetite. I had to stop taking it after a week because the discomfort wasn’t worth it.”

Potential Side Effects of  Lipozem Reviews

As with any supplement,  Lipozem Reviews comes with the risk of potential side effects, especially due to its high fiber content. Common side effects reported by users include:

Bloating and Gas: Since glucomannan is a fiber, it can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort in some individuals, particularly when they are not used to consuming high amounts of fiber.

Stomach Discomfort: Some users experience stomach cramps or discomfort, especially if they take the supplement without enough water.

Diarrhea or Loose Stools: The fiber in  Lipozem Reviews may lead to loose stools or diarrhea in some users, particularly when taken in large doses.

Choking Hazard: It’s important to take  Lipozem Reviews with plenty of water, as glucomannan can expand before reaching the stomach, potentially causing choking or obstruction in the throat or esophagus. This risk is higher in individuals who struggle with swallowing pills.

How to Preserve Organic Vegetarian Empty Capsules in Summer?

As the summer season approaches, the heat and humidity can pose a challenge to preserving various items, including organic vegetarian empty capsules. These capsules are a popular choice for those who prefer plant-based dietary supplements and are used to encapsulate a variety of substances, from vitamins and minerals to herbal extracts. In this blog post, Wecaps will explore various methods and tips to help you preserve organic vegetarian empty capsules for sale during the summer months.

Understanding the Challenges

1. Heat: High temperatures can cause the capsules to become soft or even melt.

2. Humidity: Excess moisture in the air can lead to condensation inside the storage container, potentially causing the capsules to stick together or become damp.

3. Light: Direct sunlight can degrade the quality of the capsules over time, affecting their color and integrity.

Choosing the Right Storage Container

1. Airtight: An airtight container will protect the capsules from humidity and help maintain their freshness.

2. Opaque: An opaque or dark-colored container will shield the capsules from light exposure.

3. BPA-Free: Choose a container made from BPA-free materials to avoid potential contamination.

4. Resealable: Ensure the container has a resealable lid to maintain a controlled environment.

Optimal Storage Conditions

1. Cool: Store the capsules in a cool place, ideally between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F).

2. Dry: Ensure the storage area is dry and not prone to fluctuations in humidity.

3. Dark: Keep the capsules away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light sources.

4. Organized: Store the capsules in a designated area where they will not be exposed to heat from appliances or other sources.

Proper Handling Techniques

1. Clean Hands: Always handle the capsules with clean, dry hands to prevent the transfer of oils or moisture.

2. Minimal Exposure: Open the storage container only when necessary to minimize exposure to air and light.

3. Avoid Overfilling: Do not overfill the container, as this can cause the capsules to stick together and become damaged.

Use of Desiccants and Silica Gel Packs

Desiccants and silica gel packs are excellent tools for maintaining a dry environment within the storage container:

1. Desiccants: These are substances that absorb moisture from the air. Place a few desiccants at the bottom of the container before adding the capsules.

2. Silica Gel Packs: These small packets can be purchased online or from a pharmacy and are commonly used to keep items dry. Place them alongside the capsules.

Regular Inspection and Rotation

1. Visual Check: Look for any changes in color, texture, or signs of melting.

2. Rotation: Rotate your stock by using the oldest capsules first to ensure freshness.

3. Record Keeping: Keep a record of when you purchased or opened the capsules to help with rotation.

Preventing Contamination

1. Clean Storage Area: Ensure the area where you store the capsules is clean and free from dust and contaminants.

2. Separate Storage: Keep the capsules separate from other items that may have strong odors or could contaminate them.

3. Avoid Cross-Contamination: If you are filling the capsules yourself, use clean, sterilized equipment and work in a clean environment.

Preserving empty organic vegetarian capsules during the summer requires a combination of proper storage, handling and environmental control. Keep in a cool, dry and dark environment, and handle capsules carefully to prevent any damage or degradation.

Using Vitamin C serum for oily skin

If you're familiar with beauty products, you're likely to have come across vitamin C serum, whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just starting. Vitamin C serum has gained a reputation as a skincare essential and for good reason. This hydrating, brightening, and anti-inflammatory product addresses a range of concerns, including hyperpigmentation, signs of aging, sunburn, and wound healing.

If you have oily skin and are considering trying this serum, here are the steps you should follow:

Vitamin C serum for oily skin

This remarkable serum can provide just the right amount of hydration without adding excess oiliness to your skin. Not only does it effectively address pore concerns, but it also helps achieve pimple-free and radiant-looking skin. Say goodbye to greasy skin and hello to a refreshed complexion with the benefits of vitamin C serum for oily skin.

Benefits to not ignore

Effective Hydration

A vitamin C serum for oily skin helps strike a balance between excessive oiliness and a lack of moisture. It doesn't draw extra moisture but rather assists in retaining it, effectively hydrating and moisturizing the skin without causing greasiness.

Pore Care

Oily skin often comes with large, clogged pores, but vitamin C serum comes to the rescue. Its antioxidant properties unclog pores, remove dead skin, reduce sebum production, and minimize pore size. Plus, it's non-comedogenic, so you can say goodbye to pesky blackheads.

Acne Solution

Vitamin C serum for face effectively addresses acne, regardless of its severity. As a potent antioxidant, it combats free radical damage to skin cells. By doing so, it helps to prevent and treat breakouts, providing relief for oily skin concerns.

Steps to Choosing the right serum for oily skin

Water-Based is key.

Choose a water-based vitamin C serum for oily skin. It absorbs quickly, provides instant results, and won't weigh down your face or make your skin greasy.

Opt for L-Ascorbic Acid

Look for a vitamin C serum with L-Ascorbic Acid. It's water-soluble, lightweight, and penetrates deeply into the skin without causing harm. This form is ideal for oily skin.

Check the concentration.

Ensure the serum contains 20–20% L-Ascorbic Acid. This concentration range is effective without causing adverse effects. The packaging usually specifies the quantity. Vitamin C serum is the holy grail for oily skin.

Using the serum in the right way for effective results

Here are the precise steps for making a 5% potent Vitamin C serum at home:

Mix the Vitamin C powder with rose water or distilled water. If using tablet form, empty two tablets into the bottle and add rose water or distilled water. Shake well until fully dissolved.

Add the glycerine to the mixture. Glycerine helps keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.

Pinch the Vitamin E gel capsule and squeeze the oil into the mixture. Vitamin E adds stability to the serum and provides antioxidant benefits to prevent cellular damage.

Transfer the mixture to the empty bottle for storage.

Store the serum in a cool and dark place to maintain its potency.

Hard Gelatin Capsules Market ndustry Analysis, Opportunities, Technology, Demand, Top Players and Growth Forecast 2022 - 2032

As per Future Market Insights (FMI), the hard gelatin capsules market was valued at over US$ 1.7 Bn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of close to 6.4% over the forecast period (2022-2032).

Shell suppliers create and supply empty hard gelatin capsule shells to the pharmaceutical sector, which are then filled in a separate operation. Empty hard gelatin capsule shells are available in a series of sizes encompassing from 000 to 5, with 000 as the largest and 5, the smallest.

Further, hard gelatin capsules allow for combination filling, unlike soft gels, allowing for the encapsulation of pharmaceuticals in the form of pellets, micro tablets, and beads in addition to the liquid formulation. This not only permits numerous incompatible pharmaceuticals to be combined in a single capsule but also results in a formulation that is far more appealing to consumers.

Increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and lung disorders has surged the demand for nutraceuticals. Hence, key players have established their positions in the market by investing more in research and having a better distribution system.

Key Takeaways from Market Study

Type-B gelatin (animal bones & calf skin) as a source holds an approximate market share value of 7%of the global market in 2021.

By size, size “0” capsules are expected to hold a dominant market share value of 7% in 2021 in the global market.

Oral administration is displayed as a preferred route of administration in the global market with CAGR growth value expected to reach 4% by 2032.

Pharmaceutical companies are the dominant segment in terms of end users within the global market, carrying an estimated market share value of about1% in 2021.

The U.S. is considered to be the most lucrative market, accounting for a value share of 8% in 2021 in North America.

For More Information: https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/hard-gelatin-capsules-market

Market Competition

Market expansion will be hampered by increasing vendor competition. With the presence of numerous brands and regional and local vendors, the market is expected to be fragmented. Furthermore, suppliers in the hard gelatin capsules industry are expanding their offerings to include mobile healthcare, medical educators, primary care extenders, and patient advocates.

During the focused period, increased competition is expected to have a negative impact on the worldwide emergency medical service market growth. The hard gelatin capsules industry is fragmented, and providers are competing by using both organic and inorganic growth techniques.

C.R.O.W (chapter 4)

"Are you feeling okay?" Milo inquired as Richard tinkered with the intravenous line inserted into his arm.

Richard looked up at Milo, who was perched on the bed's edge. His face sunken, looking like the living dead. The irony, not lost on him. "What makes you think I'm not OK?" Richard asked, void of all emotion as he concentrated on what he was doing.

When Milo woke after being in a per-mo sleep he was unable to absorb blood the normal way. Richard had supplied him with red gel capsules that worked very well for younger vampires. A substitute for human blood. But it didn't seem to work as well for Milo.

As a short-term and experimental measure, they had been drawing blood from him every month or so and then re-infusing it. Dr. Constantine conceived this idea and expected to be the one to implement it.

After the first time, when Milo realized how exposed he felt, he wouldn't let him do it again. Grendel was unable to do so because of his aversion to blood. This forced Richard to take up the mantle. Something he didn't want to do, but knew there was no other option.

The idea wasn't exactly groundbreaking. It was a method used on the dormant Kaw-Sekhmu in their family's catacombs. This process would only need to be carried out once a year because well in a per-mo sleep they used very little energy. And only the most reliable Kaw-Sekhmu were tasked with this responsibility.

In his two hundred years of working with the family, Richard was allotted this assignment five times. It was the equivalent of being called to jury service. Yet it was also a sign that you had climbed through the ranks, and it irritated all the appropriate people to see someone as young as him wielding such authority. Because of this, he was more than willing to contribute whenever the occasion arose.

Richard was requested for this reason. As well as the fact that Milo trusted him. He regretted that anybody except himself had been willing or able to do it. The procedure virtually emptied the person's blood before replenishing it with new blood. And halfway through, before the blood was replaced. The individual appeared to be a corpse.

He'd seen it many times before. But having Milo sit there awake was a very different story. He was always the quiet kind. Until he had anything essential to say, he kept his ideas to himself. This, however, was not the same. He appeared to be old and dead on the inside. Yet the silence came across as rotting rather than refined.

Throughout this moment, Richard avoided making eye contact with him. He had no idea what was wrong with Milo, but his paranoia that Milo knew what he was doing, made him feel guilty. "You know, Molly and Olive were discussing inviting the two of you around this week. Grendel has taken a shine to Olive. She even refers to him as her uncle."

Milo's eyes flashed, like coming out of a trance. "What?" Richard was about to repeat himself when Milo responded, there was some alarm in his voice. "Why would she refer to him as that?"

Richard shook his head. "I believe he told her to, and she's five."

Milo observed Richard as he rose from the floor and took a seat next to him on the bed. There was nothing more to do at this time but wait until the blood bag was empty and all of its contents were in Milo. "That shouldn't be too much longer." He attempted to disguise how uncomfortable he was, but he was certain he was failing miserably.

This was confirmed when Milo assured him, he didn't need to stay in the room.

"Don't be absurd, You shouldn't have to be alone during this," Richard answered, gently slapping Milo's knee. "Not that it has any bearing on my comfort level. If you recall, I was a sin eater at one point." Immediately regretting saying this.

Milo glanced over at him. "not to say," he shifted his position. "It's not like you're dying or something, it's obviously different. I simply meant that." He went quiet. He couldn't take back what he said, and trying to explain it would only make it worse.

Inside, he was ashamed of himself. He had a reputation for being able to talk his way out of any problem, yet here he sat unable to get any of his words straight. But it was more than that. Milo was family. True, honest to god family. And not in the same way the Ka-sakemu used the phrase, an empty sentiment for emotional manipulation.

Milo's mouth curled up in a wry grin. Even when he was completely content and in a good mood, his smile didn't go much wider. "No, it's just how it feels. Yet, I frequently ponder whether this is the start of the end," Milo stated in a monotone. As though he were only stating the obvious--like an apple is red.

Richard shifted without realizing it. Hearing Milo speak in this manner disturbed him. He had always had this idealized version of Milo in his head. He always had the upper hand and was in charge. He had an uncanny knack for rescuing people from their own depressive musings.

The man he knew, though, wasn't this one. It's possible that whatever was occurring to him wasn't physically killing him. But, the psychological harm was almost too great.

"You need to take care of yourself, Richard," Milo said, his concern concentrated more on Richard than himself. Richard wondered for a second if he knew what he was doing. Yet that was impossible, and he shook the idea out of his head. But it didn't take away his sense of guilt. He didn't mind endangering the other Kaw-Sekhmu.

These were things he thought about before all of this started. He knew there would be some that got hurt from all of this. Molly and Olive would be safe. And Isabel, a very old family friend, shouldn't have been too affected by his new alliance as she had no official ties with the Kaw-Sekhmu.

Yet he'd forgotten how much he loved both Milo and Grendel. That was something he couldn't put into words, but it gave him a sense of belonging.

Aligning himself with Malachi would put a stop to it, no matter how much he wanted to back out. He realized that wasn't an option. In the long term, he realized what he was doing was correct. Even if it felt like his insides were being ripped out.

The television was on but Grendel had a hard time paying attention to it. He lay on the sofa, his gaze fixed to the screen, but none of it was getting threw to him. He hated change in general. Once he cared for someone that was it. He wanted them in his life forever.

Every day, he worried about Milo. He was able to shift it to the back of his head, though. Milo's absence was as likely as a shark attack in the middle of Africa. But days like this made him feel as though he had been mistaken the entire time. He didn't reside in Africa, but in southern Florida, and he was currently in the middle of the ocean.

Milo was still affected by whatever Ma'at had done to him. Killing her would be as difficult as finding her and putting her down. But what she was doing was beyond her, and he got the awful sensation she was the only one who could assist Milo now, and her death may take that knowledge with her.

He wanted her gone. He wanted to stop thinking about what horrific thing she was going to do to him next, who she was going to injure just to get back at him. He couldn't even offer himself a good diversion without it turning into a huge issue.

Grendel sprang from the couch, grinning widely, as Richard and Milo emerged from the bedroom. The same grin he used to make others feel at ease. Milo certainly would have seen what he was doing. But he hoped it had benefited Richard in some tiny way.

Richard had been trying everything he could to aid Milo, but it was having a negative impact on him. Richard had several distinct faces, according to Grendel and Molly.

'Business Richard' was the one he used when he needed to disguise his genuine emotions. A tougher, more calculated version of himself. He would come off as more callous and uncaring.

'Family Richard' came next. Someone you could chat to about anything. The loving husband and father. The one who took his wife out to swing dance on the weekends.

Grendel hadn't seen 'family Richard' in a while, and he worried that he was to blame for this. More than anything he wanted to make things right.

"Did everything go well?" Grendel asked, as he followed the two into the kitchen.

Milo sighed and glanced at the counter where a sad cup of tea sat. "I told you to stop trying to help. Your tea is awful. And I'm not completely useless." He poured it out without so much as a drink and turned on the kettle.

Richard attempted to escape during this time. As Grendel snatched his arm from under him. "Stay, Milo's going to brew us some tea." He pulled Richard aside despite Richard's protests that he was already running late. "Oh, don't be so rude. It shouldn't take more than five minutes."

"What's going on, Grendel?" Richard asked. "Is everything okay?"

"Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by okay." Milo replied as he began to pour a cup of tea for both of them. "Grendel has mixed us up with a group of vampire hunters that call themself Crows."

Richard lifted an eyebrow in astonishment. "Vampire hunters? Crows? What have you gotten yourself into?"

Grendel shuffled uneasily. "I...I just thought they might be able to assist us. And if they die, it won't be a loss."

But before either of them could add more, Richard's demeanor shifted. A smile began to grow on his face as he went into full Business mode. "You claim they go after vampires. Vampires such as the Netopuri?"

Grendel and Milo exchanged curious glances before returning their attention to Richard. "Yes, and why do you ask?" Milo inquired, a look of mistrust on his face.

Richard made various hand gestures before thoughtfully laying his hand on his face. "Oh, nothing in particular. It's only." He waved his own thoughts away. "Oh , no. That would be foolish."

Despite both of them knowing better they took the bait. Curiosity getting the better of them both. "What is it?" Both Grendel and Milo spoke at once.

"As you can see. For the most part, this entire accord with the Netopuri is functioning quite well." Richard began. For a long time, the Netopuri, or cold-blooded vampire, had control over the U.S. They had just recently let the Kaw-Sekhmu in because they were gradually losing control of what the cold-blooded vampires were doing. For the most part anyone could turn and make as many vampires as they wanted.

The Kaw-Sekhmu, on the other hand, were exceedingly particular about who and how many of their type were created. The Kaw-Sekhmu was present to assist in keeping order, but they had no control in how many Netopuri were produced. And attempting to manage it alone would result in either the abolition of the peace treaty or, worse, a war between the two factions.

Many of the cold-blooded vampires were alarmed by the Kaw-Sehumu's capabilities. Concerned that they might try to take over fully, they began to increase their numbers quicker than previously. With no order or care on the Netopure in command, there was nothing that could be done.

Richard's grin broadened as he described this. "As you can see, my hands are tied, despite the fact that this is a major issue. C.R.O.W., on the other hand, is under no duty to any side. And that they discovered a nest that was causing difficulties. It couldn't really be our fault, would it?"

"And how would we know which Netopuri are causing the most issues, Richard?" Milo inquired, playing stupid.

"Oh, please. It's a win-win situation. I have a few less things on my plate, and you have C.R.O.W's. trust." Richard reasoned, attempting to persuade Milo of this concept. "I mean, what if they don't trust you and figure out who you are? Giving them a handful of undesirables will go a long way in your defense."

"I'll have to think about it," Milo replied, his gaze fixed on him as he sipped his drink. His voice emphasized his lack of excitement.

Grendel, tired with the conversation's focus on C.R.O.W., finally raised his voice. "We need to do something fun together." Knowing just what to say to derail this conversation. "The five of us need to get out. Like in the good ol' days"

Milo and Richard glanced over at him as he pretended to be oblivious to the implications of his words. "I thought she said she didn't want anyone to know she would be coming yet." Richard said, but all Grendel did was grin at him knowingly.

Milo's gaze swept across the two of them. Getting a better grasp, although a hazy one, on what they were saying.
