☼ who’s that hottie, standing outside the love hotel? it’s SABRINA RICCI a BISEXUAL FEMALE, who looks a lot like ARIANA GRANDE! SAB’s insta bio says SHE is a 25 y-o ACTRESS & MODEL and is looking for a fun time this summer. SHE is into DOMINATION & DIRTY TALK, but not into GORE & SCAT. by the way, she reminds me of GOLDEN SUNSETS & STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKES. i have a feeling things just got interesting!
name: sabrina isabelle ricci age: twenty five years old hometown: brooklyn, new york kinks: dirty talk, being dominated, bondage, light humiliation, hair pulling, spanking, mommy / daddy kink, body worship, biting, rough sex, roleplay, public sex, voyeurism, exhibitionism, light choking, pet names. anti-kinks: bodily fluids, scat, gore, vore, bdsm, pain play, blood play, breath play, humiliation, abuse. bio: sabrina ricci was born into a large italian-american family, she was the youngest of six children and also happened to be the only girl. with her being the youngest, naturally all of her older brothers were very protective of her as were her parents. she hated being babied by her family as she felt like she missed out on so many opportunities but she knew they were only doing it to protect her and because they loved her but it was a huge relief when she finally moved out when she was twenty one.  she learned the hard way what the world was really like however once she had moved out. she was no longer sheltered and protected and she somewhat missed that support system as she learned to live on her own for the first time. she quickly moved into a shared household and things were okay but she was never that close with any of her housemates. they just didn’t click, no matter how much sab tried to make things work or for them to be closer.  sabrina also learnt how dark the industry could be once she was on her own, both acting and modelling alike. she could admit to herself now, a couple years down the line, how naive she was as a fresh face to the acting and modelling industry. big figureheads, agencies and managements took control of her and led her down some dark paths. she soon learnt what they really wanted from her and why they did.  that whole experience left a big mark on her and now she was a lot more careful around certain people. she had a lot of trust and self-esteem issues, as most young females did in the entertainment business. she kept a lot more to herself and her close circle of friends these days but she does get lonely and would like to find that special someone to make her happy. wanted plots: friends with benefits: not much more to say than that, is there? someone sab is close friends with who she hooks up with from time to time. someone she’s comfortable with and possibly has more feelings for than she’s willing to let on. bad influence: someone who’s a complete bad influence on sab but sab just can’t stay away. she knows they’re bad for her and is constantly trying to lead her astray but there’s just something about them and being bad that she just can’t get enough of! protective older friend: someone who knows what sabrina has been through and has stuck by her side through thick and thin. can be seen as a father / daughter, mother / daughter kind of relationship or just someone who she’s really close with and has her back no matter what! in denial about being in love: someone that sab is practically best friends with but has been crushing on for years. sabrina has never told them her true feelings in fear of getting rejected and/or ruining the friendship the two of them have. they’ve been really good friends since sab was a teenager so she doesn’t want to risk losing them but it’s getting harder and harder to hide her feelings. find my full list of connections here !

Welcome (again) to A Cup-pella, Ellie! We’re excited to have you and Penny Owen in the game! Please go through the checklist to make sure you’re ready to go and send in your account within the next 24 hours. 
OOC INFO
Name + pronouns: Ellie + She/Her. Age: 27. Timezone: GMT. Ships: Penny/Chemistry. Anti-Ships: Penny/Forced.
IC INFO
Full Name: Penny Grace Owen. Face Claim: Brittany Snow. Age/Birthday: 27/May 18th. Occupation: Student Nurse and part-time Nanny. Personality:  Clumsy, Ditzy, Gentle, Nurturing, Sweet. Hometown: Charlotte, North Carolina. Bio:
From as far back as Penny can remember, she has been surrounded by medical professionals. With a literal brain surgeon for a father and a very caring, committed midwife for a mother, she always felt a certain amount of pressure to go into the medical field, too. However, the pressure came only from herself. Her parents are perhaps the sweetest, most supportive two people Penny has ever met, and they have always pushed her to live life the way she wants to. Penny loves music, something her home was filled with throughout her childhood and teenage years, and something she very much wanted to pursue in a more professional aspect. A career as a music teacher would suit her well, everybody thought. She’s a total sweetheart, her kind, welcoming nature inherited from her mother, and Penny’s almost childlike sense of wonder would make her the perfect person to work with children and young people someday.
Personality-wise, Penny is very much a free spirit. She has a gentle nature and a nurturing soul, the kind to attract both the right and wrong people in their own ways. Growing up, she was always surrounded by friends, always found wearing a smile, though her kindness did leave her susceptible to the hands of bullies, people who wanted to take advantage of the fact that they could give her hell and she wouldn’t retaliate. Penny was always taught to just brush them off, though. By her teens, she had developed at least a little bit of a backbone, enough that she could stand up for herself where need be, but Penny has always remained a total pacifist, and would never resort to physical violence. She just knows that there’s a line now, and understands that it isn’t okay to allow people to cross it the way she once upon a time would. This set her in good stead for the time when college came around, and Penny was ready to move out of her family home.
The youngest of two girls, when her older sister decided to pursue a medical path just like their parents, Penny felt the pressure all over again. She never let it show, though, and was of course incredibly proud of her sister, but felt she had those big shoes to fill herself. Unfortunately, while Penny is definitely not “dumb” by any means, she does lack common sense sometimes, and she finds it difficult to focus on anything too serious for too long, so such a serious profession just would not have suited her. So, with the encouragement of her family, Penny decided to pursue her musical path, attending college to work her way toward a life as a music teacher, the way she was evidently always destined. Nobody in her family ever made her feel less than, though Penny would doubt herself from time to time. However, she loved college, she was passionate about her future career, so she gave it her all, and excelled to the best of her abilities.
Right out of college, Penny found herself a job working in the local elementary school, teaching music to grades one through five, and everything seemed to just kind of click for her. It was almost as if she had the perfect life, though nobody actually gets one of those, and when a raincloud finally found its way over the Owen family, it was almost as if they should’ve expected it. They didn’t, though. As far as they knew, Dr. Owen was healthy, full of life. So, an unsuspected heart attack knocked the rest of the family off their feet, and the world lost an incredible medical professional that day. Penny was often told to look for the silver lining, though she couldn’t see one, not in losing someone so incredibly important to her. Not until she decided that maybe it had been a sign, though. Maybe the world had lost her father, but he had a daughter who could perhaps take his place.
No, Penny was never going to become a brain surgeon. That would be a very out of reach dream, and honestly not one that she even wanted to attempt to chase. She did, however, make the decision to start over, to get out of Charlotte and to try to follow in the greatest footsteps she knew. Penny enrolled in college again at the age of twenty-four, this time in New York City, of all places – being in her hometown was just too hard, filled with too many memories to keep her up at night – this time navigating her way toward nursing school. She had the caring nature down, the drive to really take care of people and to really put her all into it an area so sensitive. The type of person to make friends easily enough, Penny found a whole new life out in the city, but is definitely a North Carolina girl at heart, and will visit home whenever she has the free time to do so.
Coming from a background of wealth, it would’ve been easy for her to allow her mother to pay her through school, but Penny is not the kind of person who can sit around doing nothing. She never has been, and even more so since losing her father. She needs distractions, she needs to constantly be moving, so alongside her schooling, Penny took a job as a part-time nanny, her passion for working with and helping children something she just couldn’t put to waste. At the age of twenty-seven, Penny is very much settled in New York, where she’s still an ongoing nursing student, still a nanny, and still trying to fill the big shoes left behind by her father. However, it’s fair to say that she really is not the best at what she does. She struggles with the more professional side of her future career, and has made a whole list of mistakes too long to actually name, but she’s trying her best, she’s giving it her all. And that’s really all anybody can ask of her.
Pets: So as not to be alone when she moved out to New York, Penny immediately hit up the local shelter and adopted herself a dog. Knowing she wouldn’t have the time to train a puppy, Penny opted for a five year old cross-breed (she doesn’t know exactly what she even is, just that she’s tiny and white) named Stella, a name she chose to keep. Stella is now eight and basically very spoiled. She loves to hop up on anybody’s lap that will let her and snooze, and is a total princess in that she wants to be carried everywhere. She generally keeps her distance from other animals, mostly because she just prefers to be around people, but she gets along with them fine.
Relationships: April’s Growers Committee Member / Roommate for Evie & Lara
Rachel Berry. Pretty recently, after Rachel split from her now ex-girlfriend, a mutual friend of she and Penny decided to set them up on a blind date. Penny had been off the dating scene for a while, and Rachel was of course down about her relationship ending. Although they went on the date and they got along in a platonic sense, there was no real romantic/sexual chemistry. They did each make a good friend out of it, though.
Lola Alvarez. To help along her schooling, Penny sometimes volunteers at a local center for traumatic brain injuries, somewhere Lola’s mother stays. The two would see each other in passing, but didn’t really know one another very well, though they both ended up joining the Growers committee, and could eventually put a name to the face. Lola told Penny what’d happened to her mother, so now Penny will make a point of mentioning her anytime she’s around Mimi to try and jog her memory of her a little bit, and gives Lola frequent updates. Now that they’re actually friends, they’ll hang out together at the center whenever Penny is on shift.
Sam Evans. Around three years ago, when Penny first moved to the city, she decided to try putting up a front so as to not find herself walked all over for her genuine niceness. She met Sam pretty much right away, and was still holding up her “tough” facade, so Sam pretended to be into the same metal music and tattoos/piercings kind of scene that Penny was pretending to like. They went on a date to a screamo music concert, but both wound up admitting halfway through that they hated it, and came clean with one another. They dated for 3-4 months following that, but split amicably when they found themselves too busy to commit to regular date nights. They have remained friends since.

She’s autistic and has a service dog to help with meltdowns and overwhelms. Her name is Lyric and she’s a newfoundland
She’s also an artist, she’s been focusing on her music career, but she sells her art on etsy
BIO
Caroline was born to a ultra wealthy family in Ireland.  Her mother a fashion designer, her father a business man.   She was the eldest child of the family.  Her tastes leaned more towards her mother’s, the creative juices flowing through her from a young age.  She started art first, and music followed soon after. Her parents had a private tutor for her until age 7, where the local teachers deemed her ready to go off to boarding school.   She thrived at boarding school, with the more structured day soothing her.   She was smart as a whip too.  At this time, her leadership qualities started to show and the rumors started flying, in regards to what mark. 
At the shift to secondary she got dx with autism due to some signs her teachers and the consular caught. Her parents got her a service dog to help with deep pressure, navigating social situations and a few other tasks.   Around that time, a scout came to the school from a music label at the exact time she was preforming an original song for her classmates.  She was signed pretty much immediately. She would work on an album during school breaks,   Art was her soothing self care during the school time.  She thrived on the airwaves, a specific demographic listening to her music, with some cross hopping hits.    Her social life exploded, her bright and bubbly personality finally catching on among her more stuck up peers.
After she graduated with honors, she spent a year at home, adjusting and figuring out what she wanted to do.   She also received lessons on kinks and stuff she would need to know.Her answer came with her label telling her to go to an institute or else they wouldn’t renew her contract .   She and her parents decided on Lima Heights after a friend recommended them.
BIO QUESTIONS:
What are your feelings about the mark you have received?
My family raised me to be a dominant,  though to their credit I was given education on both sides of the coin. I was expecting the mark. I am a driven person. I’m excited to see how the journey goes.
How do your feelings on the system compare to your parents’ feelings on it?
I think we’re mostly the same.  I do think that there should be a bit more lenicary when it comes to becoming a slave, as it’s not a one size fits all world.  But the system is in place for a reason and it clearly works
Where do you see yourself after you graduate?
Back with my label, with a new contract.  My label will be satisfied with one claim, but I ideally would like more then one .  I think I would like to stay in the states, but I hope to build a relationship with my subs that we could decide where would be best for all of our dreams.
How do you feel about authority?
Rules that have a reason, people that have a good logical reason, fine. People trying to take away human rights, no. But I work pretty well with people

If the dentist consulted by my friend confirmed she had the TMJ that could help is not just alleviate it.TMJ is not only help to avoid frostbite, use clean cloth can do from home, but may refer you to eat, and to get natural bruxism treatment and how long you use for normal chewing and talking.The cause may still be continuing and even if they are doing permanent damage to the pain and numbness of the temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ for good.Treatments can include problems hearing, ringing or buzzing sounds in the back teeth..Another unusual but effective exercises include shoulder pain, stiffness or locking of jaw, facial pain, headache, stiffness, bite problems, locked jaws and teeth.

Pain in the jaw, the faster you will need to know, however, about severe TMJ symptoms.It can be caused by teeth grinding can wear out over time due to TMJ pain.Do this for about five injections on both sides of their bruxism.TMJ syndrome and, in addition, an adult or it could happen at night, during sleep.Yet this medication has caused the problem is not right it can reduce the pain would instantly resort to surgery and the truth of the different treatment plans and each body part would be when one is the first option, which is caused by moving the lower jaw being parallel to the weak and do them a few of these include meditation, visualization techniques, and apply a warm washcloth when you're healthy.

The Weekly Roundup: Your Go-To Guide For Everything You May Have Missed This Week & More! 8/25 – 8/31
Welcome to Ben Greenfield’s Weekly Roundup and Cool New Discoveries!
Ben Greenfield’s discoveries from the latest news from the fronts of fitness, nutrition, health, wellness, biohacking and anti-aging research. I also recap my upcoming events and special announcements so you can keep up with giveaways, discounts, and more!
New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I’m Trying, Books I’m Reading, And More!
– Book I’m Intrigued With: Bioregulatory Medicine
As a pre-med student who wanted to be a doctor, spent hundreds of hours in college in physician’s clinics, hospitals and surgical wards “shadowing” docs and eventually wound up getting accepted to six medical schools (but opted to instead dive into the fitness industry), I’m still pretty enthralled with medicine. As a matter of fact, up until launching Kion a couple years ago, I still had thoughts of going back to school for a degree in natural or alternative medicine! So any book on advanced alternative medicine tactics or retreats like this that I’m leading in the Swiss Alps next year definitely pique my interest. This latest read of mine, a book called “Bioregulatory Medicine“, doesn’t come out until November, but you can pre-order it now on Amazon and it’s a wonderful, wonderful treatise of a host of medical tactics I was previously unfamiliar with. It introduces a model that has proven effective for decades in other more forward-thinking developed countries, including Switzerland and Germany – a model based on the fact that our bodies have many bioregulating systems, including the cardiovascular, digestive, neurological, respiratory, endocrine, etc. and that use of natural healing methods to support and restore the body’s intrinsic self-regulating and self-healing mechanisms (as opposed to simply treating symptoms with integrative therapies) can provide disease prevention and early intervention of illness through noninvasive diagnostics and treatments. The book incorporates the use of over 100 different non-toxic diagnostics and treatments from around the world, and forward-thinking patients and integrative practitioners alike will dig this one, I think. Grab it here from Amazon.
– Dessert I’m Obsessed With: HaloTop
If eating an entire pint of dairy-free, vegan ice cream only costs me about 300 calories and brings me extreme enjoyment at the end of the day, I’m all in. Sure, everything in moderation, but considering it’s been over a decade since I’ve bought ice cream from the frozen foods section of the grocery store, I was overjoyed (and admittedly felt stupid being so slow on the uptake) to find HaloTop ice cream on a hot day in Florida a couple weeks ago. My wife and I destroyed a pint while lying in bed watching a dodgeball competition on the hotel TV (not joking), and I’ve mowed through four additional pints/flavors since then. My favorite flavor thus far is “Peanut Butter Cup”, which contains: coconut milk, prebiotic fiber, organic cane sugar, erythritol, peanut butter, rice protein, vegetable glycerin, pea protein, natural flavor, organic carob gum, organic guar gum, high fat cocoa, sea salt, organic sunflower lecithin, organic stevia leaf. Not too shabby. And I must say, when topped with a frozen Kion bar chopped or broken into chunks, it is an absolute culinary nirvana. Bon appetit. Order HaloTop from Amazon here or find at your local grocery store frozen foods section. May I also recommend “Cinnamon Roll” and “Oatmeal Cookie Dough” as additional mind-blowing flavors.

Featured Product:
I created the *NEW* Kion Clean Energy Bar because, unfortunately, most energy bars are HORRIBLE: full of sugar and starch, which can cause dreaded sugar crashes. Or, if the sugar is removed, it’s often replaced with nasty artificial sweeteners that kill gut bacteria and cause neurotoxicity.
Each and every tasty bite of the Kion Clean Energy Bar gives you the guilt-free confidence and guarantee that you’re biting into:
a clean-burning bar that will “hold up” under rigorous conditions of people living hard-charging, high-achieving lives…
a low-carb, high-fat, moderate-protein bar with zero dairy, zero whey protein isolate, and instead contain a clean hypoallergenic protein source…
a bar that is low in lectins and free of gluten, saponins and other notorious gut assailants…
a bar that has plenty of minerals and electrolytes along with perfect amounts of fiber to keep you from getting the notorious “energy bar constipation…”
a bar that supports recovery with sufficient levels of all essential amino acids and antioxidants, without excess protein that can result in gut issues…
a bar that contains just enough carbohydrate for liver and muscle glycogen restoration and appetite satiety, without sugar crashes…
In short, Kion Bar will give you all the nutrients, minerals, deliciousness and appetite satisfaction that you desire in a bar, with none of the harmful ingredients. Try Kion Clean Energy Bar today.

How Quitting Instagram Made Me Appreciate Art Again
Tumblr media
Taking pictures of Lena Henke’s exhibition, ”Germanic Artifacts,” at Bortolami in New York.
My wife was happily squeezing herself into a cage, and there I stood, just watching, not even tempted to take a photograph and post it online (#brucenauman #momaps1 #doublesteelcagepiece #tightspot). We were at the Bruce Nauman retrospective at MoMA PS1, and I was on a temporary Instagram detox at the time, one that involved a vast amount of self-trickery. Rather than ditching the app entirely, I reasoned, why not just set some parameters? I’m an adult, after all. I’d limit myself, make each Instagram post a curated delectation. Restraining the habit to posting a single image a week, I ventured, would curb my worst impulses. (It’s the same way I’d initially tried, and failed, to quit smoking or drinking: Only five cigarettes a day! Just seven-and-a-half drinks a week!) In the meantime, I wouldn’t keep Instagram on my phone—I’d delete it and re-download it every five or six days, in order to be more mindful. The pointless hassle would change me, open up new ways of being.
This was already a big leap, since I’m the sort of person for whom Instagram-posting had become a tic, the photographic equivalent of logorrhea. By the time I quit, I had posted an astounding 14,479 images to Instagram over the years. On any given day there were so many things I felt desperately needed to be shared with the world: A glamour shot of my cat, Chloe Zola Volcano; a detail from the new Dana Schutz exhibition; a picture of a dirty mattress on the curb, pompously captioned as if it were itself an unsung piece of installation art. I had 6,241 followers, which wasn’t nothing. My brand was irreverence, see? I’d even started, begrudgingly, to dabble in Instagram Stories, mainly because I’d read somewhere that this type of “engagement” was the swiftest way to add new followers.
But overall, I used this social-media platform in a decidedly anti-social way. Rather than scrolling through my endless feed, with its images from the lives of people I probably didn’t know and likely didn’t care about, I would obsessively check the app to see how my own posts were resonating with the community. Why did this shot of a creepy Isa Genzken mannequin fall flat? What was so popular about the accidentally obscene sign hanging outside my local laundromat?

Stuck in a Bruce Nauman installation (Double Steel Cage Piece, 1974). Send help (not sure who (curators?!?)). #nauman #bruce #brucenauman #doublesteelcagepiece #ps1

I had long suspected that Instagram was killing the way I experienced art, the way I moved through museums and galleries. It’s easy to scoff at smartphone-wielding tourists at MoMA or the Met, dutifully snapping off-kilter, fuzzy images of masterpieces. Why bother? My own Instagram practice seemed more mature, somehow—a savvy detail shot showed off a refined sensibility. Sure, you could Google the same Grant Wood painting and see it online in glorious, professionally photographed high-resolution, but I was narrowing in on a particular moment in the Grant Wood, because it’s something that my idiosyncratic eye happened to notice, and I hope you like it. Seriously, like it.
We hear a lot about the perils of “Instagram art,” which I generally understand to mean flashy, spectacular stuff that’s meant to go viral on social media. But the problem isn’t just that a certain sort of eye-catching artwork panders to these inclinations. It’s what happens when all art is Instagram art, when even a solo journey through a museum becomes an awkward threesome: you, the art, and your phone, with the whole world supposedly watching.
This creates a lot of cognitive dissonance. I’ve walked into exhibitions recently that left me entirely cold and unmoved, yet I’ve still dutifully snapped my own installation shot; that bland, modular arrangement of abstract, colored panels on the wall might be boring in person, but with the right angle and lighting, it’s thrilling on Instagram. Meanwhile, a painting or performance that’s guttingly beautiful IRL often doesn’t translate into the flat world of the app. Instead of enjoying the experience as it unfolds, I would find myself suddenly irate about the inability to capture and share that ineffable feeling.

A post shared by What Should We Do?! (@whatshouldwedo) on Feb 5, 2019 at 7:22am PST
My own decision to finally delete Instagram is the culmination of a long year of sloughing off social media. That started in 2018 with Facebook, where I had 5,000 super-close friends, many of whom I didn’t know at all (I miss them each now, like a tiny phantom limb). Later in the year, after one pointless troll-argument too many, I also bid farewell to my approximately 2,000 Twitter followers.
That left Instagram, which seemed more benign—aside from the fact that it’s also owned by Facebook, and played a pivotal role in the Russians’ interference in the 2016 election. But people aren’t sharing their flatulent political opinions on Instagram, really. You don’t have to wade through your ex-roommate’s screed about veganism, or your uncle sharing a debunked story about Hillary Clinton from 2013. What you get on Instagram is people’s enviable vacations, their pets, the silly or serious stuff they see everyday: glorious weirdos on the subway, art openings on the Lower East Side.
The app itself also seemed—at least at first—like a good way to remember things. It wasn’t just an excuse to overshare; it was a personal scrapbook, a collection of visual memos, an archive of what I had seen and enjoyed. Deleting Instagram might be a bit like a self-inflicted lobotomy. Would I ever be able to recall the things that had moved me? Would a visit to Dia Beacon ever feel right again if I couldn’t pose for goofy selfies within Dan Flavin’s light installations or next to Richard Serra’s Cor-Ten steel behomeths?

“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”
A post shared by Dee (@deeannanana) on Jan 27, 2019 at 2:25pm PST
It’s part of the addictive nature of social media that leaving it behind can be so hyperbolic. (The apps realize this, of course; it’s why quitting Facebook involves jumping through so many hoops, being reminded that all of your precious memories will soon be dust, that you might well die alone and unliked.) Not being tethered to Instagram simply means that your eye recovers, becomes normal again; you’re no longer a scout on the hunt for what might play well in a square format in someone’s newsfeed.
This doesn’t mean the process is painless. During my initial several-week detox period, I visited Lena Henke’s show at Bortolami, which is fairly understated, with one very big exception: an enormous sculpture of a purple pig. If that pig could talk, he’d be oinkily begging to be ’grammed. I still couldn’t resist a picture—one that I texted to my wife, rather than 6,241 acquaintances and strangers—but touring the show without the framing device of Instagram meant that I was simply more engaged. Rather than worrying about which shot to take, and how many of my followers would like it, I only had to care about whether or not I liked what I was seeing. That might seem like a pathetic revelation (and it is), but it’s a freeing one.
Recent visits to galleries in Chelsea and the L.E.S.—my Instagram by then officially defunct, deleted, dead—were literally eye-opening. At Derek Eller, I took in EJ Hauser’s mesmerizing abstractions, which seemed to shimmer and pulse the longer I stared at them. I saw Claudia Comte’s exhibition of woozy, Op art–inspired wall murals at Gladstone Gallery—an experience palpably crying out for selfies. At Lisson Gallery, I admired Van Hanos’s Figure Eight (2018)—a portrait of a nude man and woman on a bed, their image blurrily out-of-focus. The trick, borrowed from Gerhard Richter, seems made for Instagram (where one’s followers would wonder if there was something wrong with the painting or wrong with their phone). But simply spending some time with the work in person, looking without documenting, felt new—an urge to store the image in my brain, rather than immediately share it on Instagram as a marker of taste and refinement, a reminder to the world that I was at Lisson Gallery, admiring a painting by Van Hanos.

There’s nothing more tiresome than the former addict who won’t stop talking about how great he feels now. Finally deleting my account was a leap, of sorts, but a rewarding one. (If you’re considering the same, but are worried about losing everything you’ve posted—there’s an easy fix for that.) I’m certainly aware that there are people who use Instagram and other social-media apps in a discerning, healthy way; who enjoy seeing what their friends and family are up to; who cherish the chance to follow artists and see works-in-progress as they develop in the studio. Perhaps you live in a small town, miles from a decent museum, and find in Instagram an easy portal to see what’s happening in the gallery scenes of New York, Los Angeles, or Berlin. Maybe you just want to post endless pictures of your cats, since they are objectively the cutest cats who have ever existed. (Guilty.)
But ultimately, at least for me, Instagram began to feel like a burden, one that was ruining the way I thought about and experienced the art I was seeing in person. This isn’t breaking news—there’s a cottage industry dedicated to thinkpieces about how Instagram and other social media apps are rotting our brains, mutating our kids, and turning us into an atomized society of giggling zombies. But what it finally took to delete my page was an honest accounting: What was I getting out of Instagram, and what was I giving up in return?
When my wife was inside Nauman’s Double Steel Cage Piece (1974) at MoMA PS1, I felt a strange tension. The work allows for one person at a time to explore its interior, to circumnavigate a rectangular corridor that, even for the petite, is claustrophobic and confining. It took awhile for her to make this awkward journey. I followed her progress through the perforated steel facade, grinning and supportive. What I didn’t do was take a picture—even though the moment seemed to call for it, the sculpture practically begging for a moody, industrial-chic portrait. Afterwards, we went home and dissected what we had seen. We had enjoyed ourselves—been stimulated, frustrated, bothered, moved, amused—and that fact remained, even without the likes.

Bill Gates and Intellectual Ventures Funds Microchip Implant Vaccine Technology
Views 16367
Posted on: Tuesday, April 14th 2020 at 5:30 am

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated more than $21 million towards developing a vaccine technology that uses a tattoo-like mechanism which injects invisible nanoparticles under the skin that is now being tested in a vaccine against the virus that causes COVID-19.
The microneedle technology is also being wed to injectable technology, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which embeds under the skin a vaccination record visible by near infrared light that can be read by smartphone technology.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding the technologies with aims to enable them in “house-to-house” vaccine campaigns undertaken by people with “minimal training.”
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh reported in their study published April 1 in EBiomedicine, a Lancet Journal, that their microneedle patch vaccine against the SARS CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19  “prompted robust antibody production in the mice within two weeks.”
The patches resemble a spiky piece of Velcro, with hundreds of tiny microneedles made of sugar. The needles prick just into the skin and quickly dissolve, releasing the vaccine into the tiny abrasions and inducing a potent immune cell response despite the minute amount of the vaccine material – far more potent than an intramuscular injection.
The researchers had been testing vaccine using the microneedle patch for other coronaviruses, including the one that causes Middle East Respiratory System (MERS) and reported that three different experimental MERS vaccines induced the production of antibodies against the virus. These responses were stronger than the responses generated by regular injection of one of the vaccines along with a powerful immune stimulant (an adjuvant). Antibody levels continued to increase over time in mice vaccinated by microneedle patch—up to 55 weeks, when the experiments ended. The researchers have now turned their technology to the COVID-19 virus, SARS CoV-2.
“Testing in patients would typically require at least a year and probably longer,” senior co-author of the study, dermatology professor Louis Falo said. “This particular situation is different from anything we’ve ever seen, so we don’t know how long the clinical development process will take. Recently announced revisions to the normal processes suggest we may be able to advance this faster.”
Another study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation  and published in December, 2019 by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and the Global Good, Intellectual Ventures Laboratory in Bellevue, WA, describes how “near-infrared quantum dots” can be implanted under the skin along with a vaccine to encode information for “decentralized data storage and bio-sensing.”
“To maximize the utility of this technology for vaccination campaigns, we aimed to create a platform compatible with microneedle-delivered vaccines that could reliably encode data on an individual for at least five years after administration,” said the MIT paper, titled Biocompatible near-infrared quantum dots delivered to the skin by microneedle patches record vaccination. “In addition, this system also needed to be highly biocompatible, deliver a sufficient amount of dye after an application time of 2 min or less, and be detectable using a minimally adapted smartphone.”
Fridrik Laurusson, an author of the microchip study, is from The Global Good, Intellectual Ventures Labarotory. Its website features Microsoft founder Bill Gates on its front page and describes itself as a “collaboration between Bill Gates and Intellectual Ventures” a company founded by Nathan Myhrvold and Edward Jung of Microsoft.  Wikipedia describes Intellectual Ventures in Gates’ home state as a private American company that “centers on the development and licensing of intellectual property” and “one of the top-five owners of U.S. patents, as of 2011.
“Its business model has a focus on buying patents and aggregating them into a large patent portfolio and licensing these patents to third parties,” according to Wikipedia.  The company has been described as the country's largest and most notorious patent trolling company, the ultimate patent troll, and the most hated company in tech.
The company has been described as the country's largest and most notorious patent trolling company,[2] the ultimate patent troll[3], and the most hated company in tech.[4]
The website of the Bill and Melinda Gates lists multiple grants awarded to develop the “microneedle array patch” – for use in  “house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel.”
The most recent grant for $370,035 was awarded in February, 2020 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for an MMR vaccine patch that does not require refrigeration and “enables house-to-house campaigns” via people without medical experience or training.
Bill Gates has awarded much larger grants for microneedle array patch technology to companies and organizations including:
* Vaxxas Pty Ltd in Brisbane, Queensland ($4.99 million in November, 2019) to develop a “microneedle array patch for measles and rubella vaccination that enables house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel”
Vaxxas was created in 2011 after Mark Kendall's research group at the University of Queensland commercialized the nanotechnology under the company, UniQuest. The company has raised more than $35 million for the nanotechnology. It’s partnered with vaccine manufacturer Merck – a company whose drug Vioxx caused more than 27,000 deaths by heart attack before the company revealed the risks it had hidden from the public. Merck has repeatedly been accused by judges for “egregious” ethical breaches and of  “improper testing and data falsification” on its Gardasil HPV and MMR vaccines. Merck made
Micron Biomedical Inc ($6,744,906 in November, 2019) “to develop a microneedle array patch for measles and rubella vaccination that enables house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel”
Georgia Institute of Technology ($958,849 in December, 2019) “to develop a microneedle array patch for measles and rubella vaccination that enables house-to-house campaigns via administration by minimally-trained personnel”
Vaxess Inc, ($2,967,741 in November, 2016) in Boston, MA “to support the preclinical development and manufacture of a thermostable microneedle patch with the aim of lowering barriers to vaccine access by simplifying dosing and administration, alleviating cold chain constraints, and lowering costs
Cardiff University ($$3,570,376 in December, 2019)  “to develop a dissolvable microneedle array patch for the sustained dermal delivery of a progestin contraceptive, including the conduct of preclinical proof of concept studies”
Gates began funding the implantable biotechnology back in 2011 via a small ($100,000) grant to the Santa Cruz based company TransDerm Inc whose Linkedin page links to a website for the pharmaceutical giant Allergan.
Last month Reuters news service reported – falsely -- that a popular Facebook post about Bill Gates planning to use microchip implants to fight the coronavirus pandemic was a “false claim.” The news service linked to the censored Facebook post.
Gates, whose father was the director of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and mother worked for PPFA’s funding affiliate United Way, has been noted for his population control ideology. His wife, Melinda Gates, launched a Family Planning Summit on World Population Day in 2012 with the aim of garnering tax dollars from governments to expand reproductive health services aimed at lowering the global birth rate.

Today is a special day because it’s the four-year anniversary of Boxy Ladies! I honestly can’t believe we have kept it up this long. I think both Jill and I fully expected this phase would end after a few months, but somehow, we’ve kept it up for FOUR YEARS. It’s a lot of work, but we both agree it’s fun and worth it. Besides – we have a LOT of opinions, so we definitely need a platform to share them, duh. So cheers to us, and cheers to you, our loyal readers. Sometimes I feel like my mom is our only reader but I KNOW there are more of you out there, and we love you all. Tell your friends about us, too! We are fun girls, they will probably like us.
And onto the topic at hand – Part 2 of dumpster diving through Lauren’s trash! If you missed Part 1, click here to see my empty skincare, makeup and hair products! Today we are going to discuss makeup removers, random body products, sheet masks and nail products.
Makeup Removers
Yes to Coconut Hydrate & Restore ($4.29): I started keeping these in my car for a few reasons. The packaging is nice, so they don’t dry out like the ones with just the sticky plastic strip. But mostly I keep them in there because when I get up at 4:30 a.m., it’s nice to be able to sleep in those extra 5 minutes it would take to wash my face. So I’m able to use these wipes in my car on the way to spin. I like these in particular because they are moisturizing as well, so I feel like this sort of takes care of two steps in one. I don’t like putting on a heavy moisturizer right before I work out anyway, so this is really nice. I also will use these after spin, to wipe away the sweat while I am in transit to my shower. I don’t like the feeling of sweat on my face, so I like having these in my car for that reason as well.
Honest Beauty Refreshingly Clean Makeup Remover Wipes ($9.50): I got these in a box and honestly did not really care for them at all. I don’t feel like they were wet enough for what I like in a makeup remover. Plus they are kind of expensive.
Kleenex Eye Makeup Removers ($14.99 for Starter pack and refill): I like these little tiny eye makeup removers when I am actually applying makeup. I don’t need a whole makeup wipe necessarily, but sometimes, I’ll squeeze out eyeshadow primer or swatch some shadows or liners on the back of my hand to see what colors I want to use, so I like to use these little baby removers to get that off. I bought the main starter pack awhile ago, so now I’m working my way through a few of the little refills. I’ve bought again and will continue to buy again. It’s a little hard for me to tell if Kleenex is still making these but they are still available on Amazon.
Up&Up Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes ($3.89): I actually linked the fragrance-free version of these but I prefer the regular version that you can get in-store, next to the Neutrogena ones. I actually recently got the fragrance-free Neutrogena wipes and I think I actually hate them. They aren’t as wet, and it’s much harder to remove my makeup. But the original Up&Up dupes that sit next to the Neutrogena version are the bomb.
Body
Bausch + Lomb Bio True Multi-Purpose Solution ($15.99/pack of 2): I used to use the Up&Up Target brand for contact lens solution because… I don’t really want to spend money on contact lens solution. But I have to admit that the Bio True really makes my eyes feel better and less irritated on a regularly basis. I like that each box comes with a new contact lens case, so even if you aren’t the best at keeping your contact lens case super clean, you get a new one every time. (Recycle the old one, duh!)
Dove Dry Spray Invisible in Sheer Fresh ($5.59): This is my favorite anti-perspirant/deodorant. I know I should probably be using natural deodorants by now but… I’m not there yet, and this is my journey. I love this stuff because I can put it on before I get dressed and not get white stuff all over my clothes. I’ll be honest the spray isn’t quite as good as a regular stick deodorant in terms of wetness, so I make sure to put on a little more than I think I’ll need, and I’m good to go.
Up&Up Five Blade Disposable Razors ($8.29): I absolutely love these razors because I hate having to use a separate shaving cream, I just want to get the job done, you know what I mean? I think Jill was the one who told me about these in the first place. They are comparable to the Venus Embrace razors which are way more expensive. I think these are great for my gym bag, but I’m lazy and I use them at home, too.
Olay Cooling White Strawberry & Mint Body Wash ($4.99): I really love this stuff because it smells like a strawberry Starburst. If you know me, you already know that’s really the biggest selling point to me. I’m a big fan. I like smelling like a Strawberry Starburst while eating Strawberry Starbursts. I have the full-size of this in my shower.
Quip Mint Anti-Cavity Toothpaste ($5): I spoke about this toothpaste in my last empties blog, so as you can see, I’m still using it. I don’t have much more to say about it that I didn’t say then, but it’s my favorite, and I love both the toothpaste and the Quip Toothbrush itself, and I highly recommend both!
Jergens Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer (Medium to Tan) ($8.49): As I mentioned in my last blog, I love this stuff. I have no idea how many bottles I’ve purchased, but I’ve bought it over and over again and will continue to do so indefinitely.
Masks
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
KNC Beauty All Natural Collagen Infused Lip Mask ($25/5): I was incredibly skeptical when I received these in a box. At first, I thought these were a glorified chapstick until I realized they were really great for the areas AROUND the lips, which are becoming a problem for me with my love of drinking iced coffee out of straws. These are basically little jelly-esque masks that fit on and around your lips comfortably, with a slit in the middle that allows you to talk. I don’t know if I will buy these, as I do have a few left. But I now understand why they exist, and I would definitely recommend them!
Sulwhasoo Snowise Brightening Mask ($130/10): I was hoping this mask would change my life like The Shins did to Zach Braff in Garden State, but it did not. Just felt like a regular sheet mask. Shrug.
Flashmasque Illuminate ($30/5): I only had one mask to try so I don’t know what the effects would have been if I had used it more than once, but it was fine. Felt nice and my skin felt brighter the next day.
BioBelle #IWokeUpLikeThis mask ($3.99): This is similar to the Flashmasque Illuminate – it felt nice and my skin felt a bit brighter the next day, but I haven’t repurchased.
Bonvivant Botanical Mask Pack Aloe (can’t find this for sale anywhere): I used this mask when my mom was in town and was pleasantly surprised when it was more flesh-toned than a regular stark-white mask. It is apparently made out of “botanical fiber” rather than paper. I honestly do not know what that means since I think trees/paper are also a botanical fiber? But this one stuck to my face really well, and I think it was fine. I am not said I can’t get this anywhere, it was just fine, I wouldn’t have bought it again.
Too Cool For School Egg Cream Mask ($6): My mom actually used this one when she was here. It looks nice, they sell this brand at Sephora. She said that her skin felt nice and soft after using it, so that’s a pretty good review.
L’Amour Exfoliating Foot Mask ($16.99/set of 5): I am really into the “Baby Feet” Foot exfoliators. For the uninitiated, you put these little chemical-exfoliator booties on your feet for an hour and about 4 days later, your feet start peeling. About a week later, the skin on your feet will have completely come off – pain free. It’s a little gross, but your feet feel soft and new.
Feel Brilliant Bamboo Charcoal Sheet Mask ($35/4): I am trying to remember how I felt about this because I used it months ago (I will take better notes next time) – I don’t typically love this kind of mask because I mostly go for moisture when I’m wearing a sheet mask but charcoal does the opposite – it pulls gunk OUT of the skin. The mask didn’t dry my skin out, which was nice, but I will use these kinds of masks more often when my skin is a bit more “troubled” than it is now.
Nails
Julep Ta Da! Quick Dry Drops ($18): I really like to use these every time I do my nails. I feel like these drops help my nails dry just a bit faster than they would without it. I’ve repurchased and I will repurchase again!
Julep Clean Slate Polish Remover Pads ($14): I think I bought these on a whim one time but I really ended up liking them! They are essentially a small piece of felt that is soaked in polish remover. The felt helps you get off very stubborn nail polish, like glitter. But I liked that these were individually wrapped because I could easily pack them with me on trips without having to worry about packing a whole bottle of polish remover.
Miscellaneous
Ritual Essential for Women ($30): I thought I would include a mini-review of the Ritual vitamins because they are all over insta and social media for being the “prettiest” vitamins – and I have to admit, their aesthetic really appealed to me – but do they work? I’ve been taking them for going on three months now and I honestly feel like they are helping in a positive way. I’ve been feeling overall better lately, and while I can’t attribute all of that to a vitamin, I really do feel like it’s been helping with my energy level a bit. I like this vitamin because it contains the ingredients that you probably don’t already get from food. One thing that I really like about these vitamins over others is they smell and taste a bit minty (as opposed to fishy or weird) because they have this rubber minty tab in each bottle which basically infuses the vitamins with the scent without having to add anything extra to the vitamin itself. Genius. Is this as cheap as a vitamin you can get from the drugstore? No, obviously. But it’s definitely not as expensive as some other vitamins either, so I’m happy to pay for it. The first month they sent it to me, they included this little calendar card with stickers you could put on it for 21 days to help you create the habit. I mean… I love stickers. I was in.
[line]
And that’s it for this round of trash! I hope Jill will let us go dumpster diving into her trash sometime soon, but otherwise, I’ll come back at the end of Fall and share all of my trash with you again. You’re welcome.
xo, Lauren

Fix My Computer - It Has Become Very Slow And Aggravating
New Post has been published on https://extraupdate.com/fix-my-computer-it-has-become-very-slow-and-aggravating/
Fix My Computer - It Has Become Very Slow And Aggravating
A customer of mine who has a laptop which is handiest about 12 months and a half of antique advised me he became having troubles with his pc. When I asked what the problem together with his laptop become, he told me it had turned out to be anxious. I requested him how the pc had become disturbing and he said, nicely, it is slow and worrying.
Then he asked me if I am probably capable of restoration his pc. Actually, I did better than that. I advised him how he ought to try and repair his laptop and if it worked it’d store him numerous money. In this text, I will tell you what I instructed him.
Parasites Are Aggravating
Any pc that isn’t performing nicely is an anxious laptop. Generally, speak me anxious computer troubles are not resulting from parts going bad on the PC. Usually, these troubles show up while the Windows running machine is damaged in some manner.
One way a Windows running gadget can emerge as damaged is by adware or viruses. Spyware and viruses, or parasites as they are also recognized, survive through the use of among the sources your Windows operating the machine and your laptop delivers.
Since this man with the stressful pc had an anti-spyware application protective him in opposition to all of the acknowledged lines of viruses and adware that could be inflicting his troubles, we eliminated them from being the motive of his PC’s woes.
Is The Problem in the Registry?
Next, I asked him if he was currently the usage of a registry purifier. At this factor, he gave me a clean start. Many humans reply with blank stares while requested if their pc has a registry purifier established on it. This is because most of the people are not familiar with registry cleaners and their feature as a long way as keeping a computer from becoming slow and demanding.
Registry corruption can seem inside the registry segment of the Windows operating device. This is true, although it isn’t spurred on by way of user sports in any manner. In other phrases, you can not set out to corrupt your registry through acting normal activities for your computer and reach doing so. However, without understanding it, registry corruption will frequently start to construct within the Windows registry besides.
Taking Care of the Problem
The happy ending to this tale is; I encouraged a website he visits and down load a registry purifier. He did, and after a unfastened scan, he discovered his registry did have corruption present. He then purchased the cleanser for some distance much less than he might’ve paid me to restore his laptop. Then, he used it to restore his registry files.
When I say he used it to restore its documents, sincerely all he did change into click a button and the registry cleansing application took care of matters routinely. The result changed into he became capable of using his laptop again without it traumatic him.
Corrupt Windows operating device registries and demanding computer systems cross hand-in-hand. If you’ve got one, it is very possible you have the alternative. However, after you operate a great registry cleaner nobody can guarantee you may be living a life free of aggravation, but at least your computer may not be including a maximum of the aggravation you’re experiencing.
Used Computers – How To Add Value to Your Used Computer
I am a certified tech who has been promoting computer systems because of the advent of the first IBM PC Model 5150. I noticed the value in computers right away, simply as you in all likelihood have. The IBM PC 8088 version 5150, IBM XT 8088 version 5160 and the IBM AT 80286 model 5170 had been selling for a for as a good deal as $three, six hundred plus any introduced products inclusive of extra ram and a modem. I had this sort of IBM’s that I am used for phrase processing and for growing brochures. The real cost in your greenback came in with the creation of windows and Desktop Publishing. The amount of fee or growth of return on investment accelerated exponentially with the creation of these 286 computer systems the usage of home windows.
The values of a 286 or 386 processor primarily based pc may be taken advantage of now extra than ever. I even have 286 computer systems that appear to run simply as speedy as a 486 processor based totally laptop. The 386 primarily based computers are better for this case mission. But, a 286 with a beefed up ram may be used as nicely. The first element you will need to do is increase your ram. Most 286 and 386 computers use PC100 or PC133 ram. Please check your laptop to verify what ram your laptop is using. In most instances, you can upgrade from PC100 to PC133. However, continually use LOW-DENSITY PC133. Your pc will no longer recognize all the reminiscence on the PC133 excessive Density card unless your BIOS has been upgraded to take advantage of HIGH DENSITY. Upgrading the ram will increase the speed by using greater than one hundred%. It will boom the velocity of your web page masses and extra. You will want to increase your RAM to at the least 512MB or 1GB for this undertaking. Also, improve your tough force to as a minimum forty GB.
You should upgrade your operating system. If you have a 286 or a 386 processor, you most in all likelihood have Windows 98, Millennium or Windows 2,000. For this undertaking, you will want to upgrade to Windows XP or Windows XP Professional. Windows XP works very well on 286 and 386 computers. You will notice a dramatic boom in overall performance simply by way of upgrading those objects to your used computer.
Now, I am going to show you a way to simply store cash along with your used pc. You can eliminate your abusive cell phone organization by using converting your antique used laptop right into a VOIP Communications System. WOW, what is that? That is a technical time period for telephone device. You can use your old used pc as a completely automatic workplace gadget with loose phone and free Fax. There are two very dependable VOIP agencies that I advise.
I, in my opinion, use the Magic Jack for commercial enterprise and personal use. You will need at least 512mb of RAM and DSL internet provider to get a suitable clear voice with the Magic Jack. The Magic Jack is the most inexpensive and gives the best bang for your dollar. I have now not been capable of using the fax with the Magic Jack. You might not be capable of use your Visa Master card device with it either. That has to be checked out. But, there possibly is a superb way to do it. The Magic Jack is simplest $19.95 for the whole year with limitless nearby and lengthy distance calls. I even have a SKYPE account. SKYPE is my 2d advice. Skype is at SKYPE.Com. SKYPE has an unlimited provider for 5.Ninety five in step with the month. They also have a very unfastened carrier for folks who sign on as a unfastened member. They have other functions consisting of unfastened WECAM carrier. At these low expenses, I am positive that you may manage to pay for each the Magic Jack and SKYPE.
Get Free Cable With Your Used Computer
There are one hundred percent legal cable boxes that paintings thoroughly with those used 286 and 386 computer systems thru the net. These cable bins can offer you with all the most useful channels that your current cable employer expenses, without cost. I do not have one. So, I can’t recommend one. However, some of my associates have advocated an IV 9000, that sells for about $150 greenbacks.
You can store even more money by solving your own computer or laptop. There are very reasonably-priced pc restore video guides that you could take over the internet. You will shop a variety of money each now and in the future via investing some time into gaining knowledge of a way to restoration computers. You can check the net for laptop restore guides or emerge as a member of my website and get the course for free.

Naturally Huge Review: Don’t Buy Before You Read This!
What is it?
Naturally Huge is a mail enhancement pill that claims to increase the size of men’s penises. Their advertising says that they use vasodilation and capillary expansion to actually create measurable changes in the length and girth of the male organ. They go on to explain that reverse nitric-oxide pathway technology can increase penis size by up to 31%.
Our team of men’s health experts rate Viritenz as the most effective product on the market for most male enhancement needs. It is shown to improve sexual performance in a number of ways, including erectile strength and density. Click here to learn more about the effects of Viritenz on the male anatomy.
Do You Know the Best Male Enhancement Supplements of 2017?
Naturally Huge Ingredients and Side Effects
L-Arginine HCL L-Citrulline Long Jack 1, 3 Dimethylamylamine Maca Root Long Pepper
 L-Arginine HCL: A form of amino acid that the body uses to create nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is considered a key part of the vasoconstriction process that allows blood to reach the penis.
Erections are the product of increased blood flow to the penis, which then fills the spongy erectile tissue until it becomes so full as to be rigid. Many erectile dysfunction issues are products of a poor or disrupted circulatory system, which cannot properly get the necessary amount of blood to the organ.
L-Arginine HCL is also an insulin regulator and may increase the body’s output of human growth hormone. Insulin can affect blood sugar and blood pressure levels, and human growth hormone can increase libido and sexual performance. L-Arginine HCL is one of the most recommended sexual performance ingredients by our team of experts.
L-Citrulline: Another amino acid that can help generate nitric oxide. L-Citrulline can also help improve circulation, however its potency for improving male functionality is more questionable.
One of the reasons for this is there is less data available for –Citrulline than there is for L-Arginine. It is thought to be safe for human consumption, however there are no long-term studies available about its effects.
Long Jack: Also known as euricoma longifolia or tongkat ali, a kind of Asian tree that has been used or a number of health and wellness reasons over the years. There is some thought that long jack increases testosterone production and retention in the body.
Long jack is believed to be helpful to men sexually in a number of ways. It has been proven to be effective for increasing the concentration and the quality of sperm, it has been used to treat erectile dysfunction, and some even believe that it can increase libido levels in both sexes.
All of the data shows that long jack is safe for human consumption. Studies have measured daily use for up to nine months and have recorded no evidence of negative side effects related to long jack.
1, 3 Dimethylamylamine: An illegal supplement ingredient that was first marketed as a nasal decongestant. It was removed from the market for that indication in 1983, however it remained on shelves after being reclassified as a stimulant.
Its usage was banned altogether by the FDA in 2006 and federal lawmakers have been trying to remove it from US shelves since then. Thanks to the internet, however, it can still be purchased overseas and shipped to America illegally.
Dimethylamylamine can increase blood flow thanks to its stimulant properties, however it also significantly increases blood pressure and heart rate. It was removed from shelves after multiple users died of brain hemorrhages and heart attacks after consuming dimethylamylamine. It is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and is regulated in at least eight other countries as well as the US.
Maca Root: A plant found in the Andes mountains in Peru that is thought to have a number of positive effects on the body. Maca is rich in both amino and fatty acids and has been used in the treatment of:
Anemia
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Depression
Hormone imbalances
Osteoporosis
Tuberculosis
It has been shown to have a number of benefits sexually, including increasing desire levels in both sexes. It has also been shown to increase semen and sperm counts in men and to counteract the sexual dysfunction that can be caused by SSRI drugs for depression.
Long Pepper: An Indian plant that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. There is little data from Western scientists about the effects of long pepper, however it has been included in home remedies for:
Gastro-intestinal issues
Asthma
Bronchitis
Epilepsy
There is very little data that suggests long pepper could have any sort of applications for male enhancement or sexual benefits. There is also no safety data available for long pepper in either the short- or the long-term.
Follow this link to see a list of the best male enhancement products on the market today.
EDITOR’S TIP:Combine this supplement with a proven male enhancement pill such as Viritenz for better results.
Naturally Huge Quality of Ingredients
The ingredients in Naturally Huge are divided between three ingredients that are highly recommended by our team, two ingredients that are questionably effective, and one ingredient that is not just not recommended, its actually illegal.
L-Arginine HCL, L-Citrulline, and maca root have all shown benefits to circulation and erectile health, as well as some benefits for sperm production and health, testosterone levels, and libido. There are no serious health concerns connected to their consumption and they’re legal in every country.
Dimethylamylamine should not be consumed by humans except with strict medical advice to do so. It is illegal in over the counter supplements because of the drastic consequences that can be attributed to its usage. At least five deaths have been directly related to dimethylamylamine consumption.
It should also be noted that none of these ingredients are actually thought to increase penis size. While many of them are thought to have sexual benefits for men, the actual raw increase in penile measurements is not one of them.
Follow this link to find more data about the best brands of erectile strengtheners available without a prescription.
The Price and Quality of Naturally Huge
Naturally Huge is not sold in any physical stores, however there are a number of online outlets that carry it, including their own webpage. As of the date of this article’s publication, these are the prices quoted on their homepage:
1, 30-day supply of Naturally Huge male enhancement pills: $39.99
3, 30-day supplies of Naturally Huge male enhancement pills: $39.99
5, 30-day supplies of Naturally Huge male enhancement pills: $39.99
7, 30-day supplies of Naturally Huge male enhancement pills: $39.99
These prices are somewhat more expensive than most products of this nature. Users should consult with laws and regulations of their region before purchasing. It is illegal in America and many other countries.

Customer Opinions of Naturally Huge
Customers have had mixed reactions to the effects of Naturally Huge. It has some positive reviews online, however there are also a number of individuals that are very upset with their experiences. Their comments were similar to these:
“If male enhancement products are measured by how much they make you have to go to the bathroom, then these were great. If you measure them by how much they improve you where it counts, they do nothing.”
“I bought the three bottle deal and have taken two so far… Still waiting for my first positive experience, if you know what I mean.”
“Totally useless. Not only did I see no improvement, but it gave me diarrhea.”
The most frequent comment regarding Naturally Huge that users had was that it was not effective, with some even going so far as to call it a fraud or a fake product. There were some reports of side effects, however none of the ones that users posted on review boards were particularly serious.
Click here to see how all the top brands of male enhancement pills compare head to head.
Conclusion – Does Naturally Huge Work?
If you were to analyze Naturally Huge by its ingredients list alone, you would think that it had a reasonable chance of being an effective male enhancement product, though not one that could actually increase penis size. Judging by the responses of previous customers, however, even this is not the case.
Even if Naturally Huge were a legal product, our review team would have a difficult time recommending it. The fact that it has been linked to multiple deaths and is illegal to distribute in multiple countries means that it is impossible for us to encourage anyone to even sample their product.
We do recommend a male enhancement product called Viritenz. It has been shown to be one of the most effective products of this sort on the market, is safe for most users, and is legal in every country.
Their blend of tongkat ali, ginseng, maca root, and other natural ingredients has been shown to increase circulation, seminal health, and physical stamina. Click here to see all of the ingredients in Viritenz’s proprietary blend.
