![]() So after I turned the Revo on for the first time, I couldn’t help but immediately cry out “Oh my god!” I knew the toy was rotating, but I honestly didn’t think it would actually work once it was inserted – but holy cow, I was wrong! Immediately, the tip was working out my prostate like it had never been touched before. To turn off the Revo – simply hold the power button down for a few seconds, and it will turn off. This will turn the Revo on to its lowest Rotation and Vibrating setting. To turn on the Revo, you need to hold the Power button down for a few seconds, until you see a little red light flash at the top of the remote. Then I picked up the little remote control, and got down to some serious fun. After carefully inserting, and making sure the soft nubs were resting on my perineum, I just lay there for a few moments to get used to the sensation. If you are still new to anal/prostate play, it recommends lying on your side with your knees to your chest to make it easier – not so much of an issue for me. Slather yourself and the Revo with a good water-based anal lube and gently insert the soft silicone shaft. The longest I was able to use it in one session was over an hour with no dulling of sensations – and it’s been used a couple of times since then – so it’s looking good charge wise. Now I’m not currently certain how long the charge lasts, but if it’s anything like the Revo, you are supposed to get around 10 hours of play with every charge. You’ll need to first charge the toy – simply inset the micro-USB cable into the little magnetic charging cap – attach to the toy and wait 3.5 hours. I went into our en-suite bathroom and closed the door – still couldn’t hear it. The toy is not completely silent, but it is one of the more quieter toys that I have – it’s comparable to the sound of an electric toothbrush – I placed it on the bed, turned it on high, went down to the bottom of the stairs – couldn’t hear it. There are 6 vibration speeds, ranging from standard continuous vibrations to various pulses and waves. The Revo is named because the shaft of the toy actually rotates – so as it’s inside you, the rotating tip is set to provide some amazing stimulation to the prostate – something that you just don’t get from a regular massager, vibrating or otherwise. There are 2 rotational speeds – 25 RPM on the lowest setting and 35 RPM on the highest setting. The base of the toy also vibrates, so as it rests against the perineum, it will provide some deep rumbly sensations outside, whilst the rotations work on the inside. This section is covered in lots of pleasurable little bumps. It is shaped like a standard prostate toy, with the insertable prostate stimulator, and a curved base at the bottom that acts as a perineum stimulator. The Revo Stealth is made from a mixture of silky smooth skin-safe silicone, with an ABS plastic base. ![]() I always feel that when people take the time to package their products nicely, it really helps enhance the overall experience (But then again, I’m a sucker for a nice box… ooer!) Underneath that is a storage bag, USB cable and a magnetic charge point. As you lift up the lid, you’ll see the Revo and the remote control nestled in a cardboard tray. Underneath that is a black keepsake box, which again just features the product name. The packaging is sleek, stylish and very masculine. There is a simple black matte outer slip which just features the product name. The L’Amourose Prostate Massager that I bought a little while ago completely blew my mind, with both it’s power and how incredibly quiet it was. When I was asked by Lovehoney if I would test this, I was initially a little unsure – vibrations was one thing, but rotations as well? Surely this is just a gimmick? However, after reading some reviews of the original Revo, I accepted the challenge and waited patiently for it’s arrival. Since discovering the pleasures of Prostate stimulation, I am always looking out for something new and different.

![]() In doing so, they may take into account such circumstance as they consider appropriate, including the parties’ conduct throughout the arbitration. Pursuan to Article 38(3) of the ICC Rules, the arbitrators may take decisions as to costs except for those to be fixed by the Court and order payment thereof at any time during the proceedings. Where necessary, the Court has discretion to fix the fees of the arbitrators at an amount higher or lower than that which is generated by the scales. ICC provides a costs calculator for this purpose. This system offers predictability for the parties who can estimate the range of costs as soon as the value of the claims is known. ICC’s administrative expenses and the arbitrators’ fees are fixed according to a scale of costs based on the monetary value of the claims, i.e. A financial statement of the case will be sent to the parties throughout the case. If there is any money left over, it will be reimbursed to the parties. Those costs, as well as the arbitrators’ reimbursable expenses, will then be paid from the advance on costs. The Court will fix the actual costs of the arbitration ( i.e., ICC administrative expenses and arbitrators’ fees) at the end of the case. ![]() If the claimant or the respondent pays its share of the advance on costs and the other refuses to pay, the former will be invited to pay on behalf of the latter.ĭiscover the cost calculator Costs of the arbitration The advance fixed by the Court is calculated for the entire arbitration and can be revised at any stage of the procedure. In certain circumstances, the Court may fix separate advances in respect of a principal claim and a counterclaim. Advance on costsĪs soon as practicable, the Court, taking account of principal claims and counter-claims, fixes the advance on costs payable in equal shares by claimant and respondent (the amount of the provisional advance that has already been paid, which includes the initial US$ 5,000, is credited to claimant’s share). Normally, the Court and Secretariat will wait for this provisional advance to be paid before taking significant steps towards the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal. The provisional advance, is based on the principal claims and is intended to cover the costs of arbitration until the “Terms of Reference” are completed or until the case management conference when the Expedited Procedure Provisions apply. Provisional advanceįixed by the Secretary General upon or soon after receipt of the “Request,” which is to be paid by claimant. ![]() Please note that if the bank considers the clarification and corresponding documentation unsatisfactory pursuant to its legal obligations under French law, the payment received by ICC may be delayed, cancelled, or rejected. The filing fee payment should originate from the party to the case or, if payment is made by a third party on behalf of the claimant(s), clarification of the legal relationship with the claimant(s) and proof that this entity is entitled to make payments on behalf of the claimant(s) must also be provided along with the Request. Pursuant to the Note to Parties and Arbitral Tribunals on ICC Compliance, under certain circumstances Claimant parties may be requested to pay the filing fee in EUR currency.Ĭlaimant(s) are invited to transmit proof of filing fee payment to the ICC Secretariat along with their Request. When VAT is applicable (e.g., for Claimant parties established in France) a non-refundable filing fee of US$6,000 is requested. A US$5,000 non-refundable fee is also due from any party that files a request to join an additional party under Article 7.īefore proceeding to payment, Claimant parties should consult the Explanatory Note on VAT Applicable on ICC Administrative Expenses to verify whether French value-added tax (“VAT”) will be payable on their ICC administrative expenses. This is a condition of the Secretariat that notifies the “Request” to the respondent(s). Payment is staggered as follows: Non-refundable filing feeĪ first advance on administrative expenses of US$5,000 is payable by the claimant when it files the “Request for Arbitration”. The advances do not cover legal costs or the fees and expenses of any expert. The ICC advance on costs system is designed to ensure that an arbitration may proceed as soon as the relevant fees and expenses of the arbitrators and the institution are covered. ![]() The Cat kicked open the Rat’s door, ordering the Rat to keep him informed of when he was setting out on the race, and the Rat readily promised that he would. When he heard about the Race to the Heavenly Gate, the Rat chuckled to himself and thought: “This is my opportunity”. This made the Rat very angry but he dared not say it out loud therefore, he sought revenge on the Cat. The story goes that although the Cat and Rat were neighbours, the Cat always bullied the Rat. These 12 animals became guards of the Heavenly Gate. What is your Zodiac sign based on your birth year? He’d stopped to eat something along the way and then fallen asleep, meaning that he came in last! The Emperor was about to end the race, when with an “oink” the Pig arrived. According to legend, the Dog didn’t want to admit this though and told the Emperor that he’d needed a good bath before he was in a fit state to appear in front of him. However he’d lost time by playing in the water. You would think that a dog who can both run and swim well, would have been far higher up the rankings. The Jade Emperor was so impressed with their teamwork that he ranked them eighth to tenth. The Rooster found a raft, and the Monkey and the Goat tugged and pulled, trying to get all the weeds out of the way. One alternative version tells how the Goat, Monkey and Rooster arrived at the river more or less together and were stuck as to how to cross. The Monkey had fallen well behind but by jumping between trees and stones, he caught up to be ninth. The alternative version of the story about the Goat is that he was rewarded for his teamwork for assisting the Monkey and the Rooster. The Jade Emperor saw how polite they were and ranked them seventh and eighth. However, as they were very kind and modest, each let the other go first. The other is that he arrived almost at the same time as the Goat. One version of how the Horse got his seventh rank is the tale above with the snake. The Snake slithered down and through the Gate into 6 th place. When the Horse realised he had a snake on his hoof, he shied with shock and fright. The other story is that the Snake had hidden himself on the Horse’s hoof. The Snake suddenly came forward and pretended the Dragon was his adoptive father thus gaining the sixth place. But the Dragon’s son didn’t come with him that day. The first is that the emperor wanted to reward the Dragon for his selflessness, saying his son could be sixth. There are 2 main variants as to how the Snake got his 6 th place in the Chinese Zodiac. The Dragon explained that he’d stopped off to bring rain to a village where the farmers’ crops were suffering from drought and had then spotted the Rabbit half drowning on a log, so he gave a puff of wind to steer him to shore, meaning he himself was late. The emperor was surprised that the Dragon didn’t arrive earlier as the river was no hindrance to him. The handsome flying Dragon arrived in fifth place and was immediately noticed by the Jade Emperor. The Rabbit explained to the Jade Emperor that he only managed to cross the river by hopping from stone to stone before clinging to a floating log. Although both are fast and competitive, the Tiger was faster. Third to arrive was the Tiger with the Rabbit coming in fourth. Competitive and Fast: the Tiger and the Rabbit The Rat jumped down from his back and dashed to the feet of the Emperor, thus arriving in first place.Ĭonsequently, the Rat is the first animal in the 12 year zodiac cycle and the Ox the second. After crossing the river, he continued plodding towards the palace of the Jade Emperor. The good-natured & diligent Ox did not mind at all (he was maybe a little naïve!) and simply continued. Being quick witted, he persuaded the Ox to allow him to jump on his back. After waiting a long time, the Rat noticed the Ox about to cross the river. On his way to the gate, he realised he needed to cross a river where he had to stop, owing to the swift current. The next morning, all the animals set off towards the Heavenly Gate. Early Risers: the Quick-Witted Rat and Diligent Ox He sent an immortal being into the world of humans to spread the message that the earlier an animal entered through the Heavenly Gate, the higher the rank it would be assigned. The Jade Emperor wanted to select 12 animals to be his guards. Long, long ago, there was no zodiac tradition. The Race for the Heavenly Gate – What are the Reasons for the Zodiac Rankings? ![]() There are many variations of the story and it also varies from country to country. The Jumping Monkey & Resourceful Roosterĭo you know why the 12 animals are in the sequence they are in the image above? The legend below tells the tale of how the order came about, as well as explaining some characteristics of the various animals.Competitive and Fast: the Tiger and the Rabbit.Early Risers: the Quick-Witted Rat and Diligent Ox.The Race for the Heavenly Gate – What are the Reasons for the Zodiac Rankings?. Barrel length can affect the balance of the rifle, particularly if you are shooting it offhand. ![]() A short and compact rifle is ideal if you are expecting to take it through dense bush or are shooting from a vehicle. When using iron sights, a longer barrel increases the sight radius which can make it easier to make accurate shots. A stiffer shorter barrel (particularly on varmint models) is less likely to be affected by the tiny vibrations that occur during shooting that may affect accuracy. A longer barrel can increase the round's velocity, but there will be a point when the round will stop gaining velocity and start losing it from friction with the longer rifling. A 16" barrel is sufficiently long enough for the powder in 22LR cartridges to be fully consumed. My current understanding over a long period of researching online is that: Which is complete garbage because beyond 20 yards you may as well throw stones at the rabbit because you'd be more accurate.I've seen 22LR rifles on the market with barrel lengths of 16", 18", 20", 22", 24" and even as long as 28", It's like predator polymag pellets being labelled the best hunting pellet due to the energy transfer to the target. There for, if you only take headshots the most accurate round should surely be the preferred choice? The fact the HP expands is inconsequential. ![]() But for a headshot whether it's HP or solid round that rabbit is dead. For example a through and through with a solid to shoulder could lead to a slow death whereas a hollow point which expanded might impart enough energy to provide a clean kill. The transfer of energy to the target surely only becomes a factor when a body shot is taken, where maximum internal damage is required in case a direct hit isn't achieved. IF solid ammunition is inherently more accurate (barrel depending) due to a higher BC than hollow point then I just don't see the need for hollow point ammunition and I am surprised it seems to be the preferred choice for hunting. I disagree that they are inappropriate for hunting due to the fact that a headshot using expanding ammo or solid ammo will kill. ![]() "There will be fractionally more accurate Match Bullets for target shooting but I do not think they are as appropriate for shooting rabbits because of the lack of expansion as the energy decreases at distance." If a hollow point bullet is good for 50-60yds could a solid dome be as good but at 70yds+ is what I'm getting at. A hollow point pellet is useless beyond 25yds where a dome is good for 35/40yds. Either this is because there is negligible difference or because there is less emphasis on accuracy with a rimfire?Įither way it would be nice to know for definite. However there seems to be very little information regarding the differences in accuracy between a solid and hollow point round. 22lr but what I'm gathering is that people use HP ammo in case they need to take a chest shot to impart maximum internal damage. I personally never take anything other than a headshot (perhaps I'm being too cautious of rimfire capability) with the. It's just interesting to hear the different preferences between air rifle ammo and rimfire ammo.įor air rifle use anything but a headshot on rabbits is frowned upon so the ammo providing the best accuracy (dome) is generally used. ![]() FOLX soft launched in January, offering their service in 12 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. As a comprehensive healthcare experience for trans people, it’s doing something that’s seemingly revolutionary.

Either way, you’re in control.” At first glance, this concept is infallible: Trans healthcare in America is precarious at best, and barriers to access manifest in a variety of forms, such as the religious freedom to discriminate, lack of physical access to clinics, medical gatekeeping, or the high unemployment rate of trans workers.

My journeys to pick up supplies for my hormone replacement therapy regimen are the most consistent out of the house routines I have. Otherwise, I only go to my pharmacist to buy my monthlies: a bottle of estrogen, syringes, needles in both 35 and 22 gauge, and my pills. My phone’s GPS knows I don’t leave these four walls that much, maybe for the occasional coffee at my neighborhood spot here and there. These days it tends to be comfortable jumpsuits and at-home workout equipment. The ads are targeted to get me where my wallet lives. It allows me to slow down and peruse an endless feed of people, cats, and take-out meals-only to, as is par for the course, be interrupted by the occasional ad that’s curated based on my profile and the links I’ve recently clicked. I wake up, fumble for my glasses, and mindlessly scroll social media feeds while the rest of my body catches up. Photo credit: National Cancer Institute on Unsplash |
