Exploring Pleasure: The Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator

Recently Lovehoney sent me one of these bad boys and I absolutely love it!

When it comes to intimate pleasure, finding the right toy can completely elevate your experience. The Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator is designed to do just that. Inspired by the famous book series, this luxurious rabbit vibrator combines powerful vibrations with an ergonomic design to deliver deep, satisfying pleasure.

What Makes the Greedy Girl Special?

The Greedy Girl Rabbit Vibrator is not your average vibrator—it’s a dual-stimulation toy designed to simultaneously target both the G-spot and the clitoris. This combination leads to more intense, blended orgasms. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Dual Motors – One motor in the shaft for G-spot stimulation and another in the rabbit ears for clitoral pleasure.
• 36 Vibration Combinations – With three speeds and nine patterns, you can customize your experience to suit your desires.
• Soft Silicone Material – Body-safe and ultra-soft for a luxurious feel against your skin.
• USB Rechargeable – No need for batteries, making it more eco-friendly and convenient.
• Waterproof Design – Perfect for fun in the bath or shower.
• Travel Lock – Ensures discretion and prevents accidental activation in your bag.

Why This Vibrator Stands Out

Many rabbit vibrators claim to provide dual pleasure, but the Greedy Girl is specifically designed to target the G-spot with precision. The slightly curved, flexible shaft ensures the vibrations hit the right spot every time. Meanwhile, the clitoral stimulator delivers strong external vibrations to heighten your pleasure.

The range of vibration settings means you can ease into your session with gentle pulsations or go all in with the highest intensity for a powerful orgasmic experience. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced toy user, the variety of settings ensures there’s something for everyone.

How to Use the Greedy Girl Vibrator

For the best experience, follow these simple steps:

1. Apply Water-Based Lubricant – A generous amount will enhance comfort and pleasure.
2. Turn It On – Press the control buttons to cycle through the settings and find your favorite intensity.
3. Insert at a Comfortable Angle – The flexible shaft allows for a customized fit.
4. Explore Different Vibration Modes – Experiment with the settings to discover what works best for you.
5. Enjoy and Relax – Take your time and let the vibrations build up to an unforgettable climax.

Final Thoughts

The Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator is a must-have for anyone looking to explore intense, blended orgasms. Whether you’re new to vibrators or looking to upgrade your collection, this toy offers powerful performance, premium quality, and elegant design—all inspired by the iconic romance series.

US Farmers Expected to Increase Corn Acreage as Prices Remain Resilient

Spring planting forecast shows reduction in soybean, wheat, cotton and grain sorghum acres with corn picking up the real estate 

DENVER (February 20, 2025)—U.S. farmers are projected to shift acreage to corn this spring as corn prices maintain an impressive run while prices for competing crops struggle to keep pace. Corn prices have been buoyed by tight global stocks, strong export demand and record ethanol production. Profitable feeding margins in the livestock and poultry sectors are also supporting corn demand. 

According to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, corn is expected to pull acres from soybeans, spring wheat, cotton and grain sorghum when the spring planting season gets under way. The report projects total U.S. planted acreage for each of those crops based on statistical regression analysis and information from grain cooperatives and merchandisers across the U.S. The report also outlines scenarios and global market dynamics that could impact acreage allocation decisions before planting starts. 

“While farmers tend to stick to historical crop rotations for agronomic reasons and market diversification, corn’s price rally relative to other crops suggests a major shift in acreage is in the offing,” said Tanner Ehmke, grains and oilseeds economist with CoBank. “We’re still several weeks away from the start of planting season, which means the acreage balance is still in flux. Multiple factors could shift how acres are traded around the U.S., but the current price environment suggests corn will be king in 2025.” 

Corn

Corn acres are expected to climb 4.2% to 94.5 million in 2025. Notably, low hay prices are expected to shift acres out of corn harvested for silage to corn harvested for grain, raising the corn-for-grain harvested acreage by 5.0% to 87.06 million. However, the potential for trade disputes with Canada and Mexico could significantly weaken the demand for U.S. corn and curb the increase in planted acreage. A trade war with Canada may throttle exports of U.S. ethanol, while a disruption to the Mexican market could severely impact U.S. corn exports.

Soybeans

Soybeans are expected to experience the biggest drop with acreage falling 3.6% to 84.0 million. The loss will be somewhat blunted by last fall’s expansion of winter wheat acres, which will create more opportunity for farmers to double-crop soybeans following the winter wheat harvest. U.S. winter wheat acreage was tallied at 34.12 million acres, up 2.1%, according to USDA. The potential for tariffs on used cooking oil imports from China and canola oil from Canada would lift demand for soybean oil and encourage farmers to hold on to soybean acres. 

Wheat 

Spring wheat acres in the Northern Plains are expected to fall 5.9% to 10.0 million as wheat prices continue to struggle from a strong dollar and greater U.S. supply following last year’s bigger harvest. Most of the reduction in spring wheat acres will go to corn, but soybeans also stand to gain some wheat acres. However, the potential for weather-related wheat crop losses in Russia combined with losses to the U.S. winter wheat crop could quickly change the market dynamics and limit the loss of spring wheat acres.

Sorghum 

Grain sorghum acres are expected to drop 9.5% to 5.7 million due to the lack of export demand. The loss of Chinese demand, which typically accounts for 90%-95% of U.S. grain sorghum exports, has pulled cash grain sorghum prices well below corn prices on the Plains. Low prices are prompting livestock feeders to include more grain sorghum into feed rations and ethanol plants are using more sorghum for ethanol production, bolstering U.S. demand. Higher domestic usage – and the potential for Chinese demand returning to take advantage of historically low sorghum prices – may lift prices and protect sorghum acreage from losses.

Cotton

Cotton acres are forecast to fall 7.8% to 10.3 million with prices struggling under the weight of a slowing global economy, a strong U.S. dollar and increasing competition from Brazil. The shift of cotton acres to corn will likely be greater in the Southeast than in the Texas plains. Texas cotton producers have shifted acres to wheat and other fall forages for beef cattle, which are currently trading at record high prices. An economic recovery in China or a shorter than expected crop in Brazil may underpin cotton prices and protect acres from shifting.

We are waking up to the reality

that we live on a water planet

and it changes everything

Europe and Asia are leading the world with the introduction of

a “Blue Economy” to accompany the “Green Economy,”

and now the United States needs to catch up

​

Jeremy Rifkin’s new book Planet Aqua: Rethinking Our Home in the Universe will be published simultaneously in all the principal world languages in September 2024.

​

What would happen if we suddenly realized that the planet we live on appeared eerily alien, as if we’d been teleported to some other distant world? That frightening prospect is now. Our planetary hydrosphere, which animates all life on Earth, is rebelling in the wake of a global warming climate, unleashing blockbuster winter snows, biblical spring floods, devastating summer droughts, heatwaves and wildfires and deadly autumn hurricanes, wreaking havoc on ecosystems, infrastructure, and society. While fossil fuels lit the fuse, it’s the hydrosphere that’s ringing the death knell.

​

In Planet Aqua, Jeremy Rifkin argues that we have misjudged the very nature of our existence and to what we owe our lifeline. We have long believed that we live on a land planet when in reality we live on a water planet, and now the Earth’s hydrosphere is taking us into a mass extinction as it searches for a new normal.

​

Rifkin asks us to imagine the incredible hubris of believing that our species could sequester, pacify, propertize, commodify, and hold dominion over all the waters of the planet for our exclusive utilitarian uses. Yet, that’s exactly what we set out to do six thousand years ago with the rise of urban hydraulic civilizations around the world. And now we find ourselves trapped in a massive commercial juggernaut of hydropower superdams, artificial lakes, reservoirs, and ubiquitous water infrastructure that’s collapsing in the throes of a rewilding hydrosphere.

​

The great reset, says Rifkin, is rethinking the waters as a “life source” rather than a “resource” and learning how to adapt to the hydrosphere rather than adapting the hydrosphere to us.

​

Rifkin takes us into a new future where we will need to reassess every aspect of the way we live – how we engage nature, pursue science, govern society, conceptualize economic life, educate our children, and even orient ourselves in time and space on our water planet. The next stage in the human saga is to ‘rebrand’ our home Planet Aqua and usher in a Blue Economy to accompany the Green Economy.

The big conversation taking place in Europe over the past 6 months is the call for a 'Blue Deal' to accompany the 'Green Deal' as the next leap forward in the European Union (see enclosed articles). The 'Blue Economy' agenda is also emerging in China and Korea as a centerpiece for rethinking life on Planet Aqua and is going to migrate to North America, the UK, and other nations around the world as well in the coming months.

The European Economic and Social Committee, the European Committee of the Regions, critical industries, trade associations, the farming community, government, academia, and civil society are all coalescing around a storyline and game plan to address a dramatic change in the climate brought on by a rewilding hydrosphere that's killing off our fellow creatures and endangering our own species on a scale unprecedented in history - and everywhere, humanity is frightened and looking for answers.

The call for a massive 'Blue Deal' to go hand-in-hand with the current 'Green Deal' will be the centerpiece of the new expanded agenda of the European Union. The conversation is focusing on a number of critical themes including demolishing outmoded superdams and artificial reservoirs, the construction of new resilient water infrastructure, the introduction of omnipresent distributed water internets and water microgrids, portable desalination devices and water purification systems, sponge cities, ephemeral pop-up 3D printed communities, water calendars and safe climate corridors, alongside extending legal rights to rivers to run free, deploying green hydrogen infrastructure, stewarding lakes, rivers, and streams as shared commons, addressing the dire threat of groundwater depletion, repurposing the water-energy-food nexus, pursuing paradigmic shifts in science and technology on a water planet, and developing new approaches to pedagogy, curricula, clinical learning, and incubator projects at the universities and secondary school level.

​

This fundamental turning point in the way the human family relates to water on Planet Aqua will underwrite a rethink in the deployment of policies and practices going forward, putting the 'Blue Economy’ alongside the ‘Green Economy’ at the top of the agenda for nations around the world. Planet Aqua provides the narrative and worldview for rethinking life on our water planet as well as a robust agenda across every aspect of society in making this transformation in our species' future.

​

Underpinned by robust research, this major new work by one of the world’s leading public intellectuals aims to redefine the very core of our existence on Planet Aqua.

​

We are coming to grips with the reality that we live on a water planet

Majority of Ontarians say health care has worsened over the past year

TORONTO, ON - A survey conducted by Ipsos on behalf of the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) revealed that the majority of Ontarians believe the health care crisis is worse now than it was a year ago. Ontarians recognized the cracks in our health system run much deeper than access to a family doctor and demonstrated concern for increased wait times, diagnostic imaging, specialist appointments, and surgeries. Additionally, the majority of Ontarians recognized this government has not delivered on its promise to end hallway medicine.

The poll found:

• 68% of Ontarians say the health care system is worse than it was a year ago.
• 83% agree that wait times for surgeries, specialist appointments, and diagnostic tests such as MRI's - have worsened.
• Nearly six in ten Ontarians (59%) say the government has not fulfilled its promise to end hallway medicine.

"These numbers confirm what doctors see every day: the crisis in health care is getting worse, not better," said Dr. Dominik Nowak, president of the Ontario Medical Association. "Ontarians deserve timely access to doctors, specialists, and emergency care. Health care is a severe concern for Ontarians and should be a top priority this election."

As the Ontario election passes the halfway point, Ontarians are looking to candidates for answers to the challenges they experience when they need to rely on a health care system that should always be there for them. There are plenty of challenges Ontarians will confront in the coming years and doctors believe our health care system should not be one of them. Rather, it should be a guarantee Ontarians can count on as they navigate an uncertain economic future. 

Ontario’s doctors want what is best for their patients and have outlined their recommendations in the OMA Stop the Crisis. Ontarians recognize our health system is trending in the wrong direction and in need of leaders keen to resolve our current challenges. 

"A strong economy depends on a strong health-care system," said Dr. Nowak. "When patients can't get timely surgeries or specialist care, they can't work. And when people avoid the emergency department because of long wait times, serious health issues can go undiagnosed or untreated, leading to even worse outcomes."

Health care is on the ballot this election. Ontario’s doctors encourage all Ontarians to learn about each party’s commitment to improving access to care and wait times. With nearly seven in ten Ontarians saying the system has deteriorated in just the past year, the OMA urges voters to demand real solutions from their candidates and consider their commitments to improving the health-care system when they cast their vote. 

Methodology

These are the findings of an Ipsos survey conducted on behalf of the Ontario Medical Association. Fieldwork was conducted between February 6-7, 2025. A total of n=501 Ontarians aged 18+ participated in the survey which was fielded via the Ipsos’ panel. Quotas and weighting were used to ensure the sample's composition reflects that of the Ontario population according to census parameters. The precision of Ipsos online surveys is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the survey is accurate to within +/- 5.4 per cent 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had all Ontario adults 18+ been surveyed. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.

About the OMA

The Ontario Medical Association represents Ontario’s 43,000-plus physicians, medical students and retired physicians, advocating for and supporting doctors while strengthening the leadership role of doctors in caring for patients. Our vision is to be the trusted voice in transforming Ontario’s health-care system.

How Shifting Consumer Demand Patterns are Contributing to High Egg Prices

Avian influenza may be the biggest factor driving egg prices higher, but rising consumption and demand for specialty eggs are also playing role

DENVER (February 6, 2025)—U.S. consumers are facing a prolonged period of higher egg prices that will likely extend through the Easter holiday and well into 2025. Rising egg prices and increased volatility in the market are largely attributable to supply challenges brought on by Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. Since the current outbreak began impacting U.S. poultry farms in 2022, nearly 100 million table egg laying hens have been affected. 

However, HPAI is not the only factor contributing to the supply and demand imbalance driving egg prices higher. Consumer demand for eggs has skyrocketed in recent years, with per capita consumption growing 20% from 2016-2019. Demand has also shifted away from conventional eggs as more consumers are choosing cage-free and other types of specialty eggs – further complicating the supply challenges. As well, nine states have enacted laws that require eggs sold in their states to be from cage-free hens.

According to a new report from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange, the increase in overall demand for eggs, combined with the growing preference for specialty eggs, is exacerbating the impact of tight supplies precipitated by HPAI. The confluence of all three factors is prolonging the timeline for bringing egg supply and demand into closer alignment. Until then, retail egg prices will remain elevated. 

“Egg demand was relatively stable in the early 2000s and seasonality played a much bigger role in peak demand periods than it does today,” said Brian Earnest, lead animal protein economist with CoBank. “While seasonality remains an influencing factor, egg use has grown dramatically over the last 20 years. “Eggs have become a staple item for innovation in quick-service restaurant entrees, and marketing trends like the emergence of all-day breakfast have significantly boosted egg demand.”  

Rising demand for cage-free eggs has also outpaced supply in recent years. Currently, more than 120 million or roughly 40% of the table egg layers in U.S. commercial flocks are housed in cage-free production systems. That compares with just 30 million layers housed in cage-free systems in 2015. While the growth in supply of cage-free eggs has been substantial, more will be needed to adequately meet demand projections. 

Total egg laying hen inventories, including conventionally raised hens, have not been substantially depleted from where they were at the beginning of the HPAI outbreak. Commercial operators who have been impacted have moved swiftly to repopulate hens. Through January 2025, the U.S. egg industry has 8% fewer egg-laying hens than it did two years ago. But HPAI has evolved to become a persistent, year-round threat to production. 

“The last widespread outbreak of HPAI in 2015 was largely seasonal with most cases occurring during the winter and spring migration periods for wild birds,” said Earnest. “That seasonality appears to be gone. During the current outbreak, HPAI has been detected in birds or other species nearly every month since the outbreak began in February 2022.”
