The information below has been written for people affected by lupus. It provides general information to help you understand how you may be affected and what you can do to manage it. It also tells you where to find further information and advice.
What is lupus?
Systemic lupus erythematosus (also called SLE or lupus) is an autoimmune condition. The normal role of your body's immune system is to fight off infections and diseases to keep you healthy. In an autoimmune disease like lupus, your immune system starts attacking your own healthy tissues. For some people lupus may just affect the skin and/or joints. In other people the lungs, kidneys, blood vessels, brain or other parts of the body may also be affected.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of lupus vary from person to person. Symptoms may come and go at different times. Although many parts of the body can be affected, most people usually have involvement of only a few parts. The most common symptoms are:
>joint pain and/or swelling, especially in the hands or feet
> skin rashes, made worse by being in the sun
> sores in the mouth or nose
> anaemia (low number of red blood cells).
What causes it?
It is not known what causes lupus. It is believed to be the result of a combination of factors, including genetics, viruses, sunlight, stress and hormones acting together. This is yet to be proven in research.
How is it diagnosed?
If you have symptoms of lupus you should see your doctor. Your doctor will diagnose lupus on the basis of your symptoms, a clinical examination and various tests. These can include blood and urine tests, as well as tests to check organs such as your heart and lungs. There is no one single test that can tell whether you have lupus. It can be difficult, and often takes time, to diagnose lupus as the symptoms can be similar to other types of arthritis.
What will happen to me?
With close follow-up and the right treatment, most people with lupus can expect to live a full and active life. However it can cause serious and even life-threatening problems in some cases. Many people with lupus have 'flares', periods when their symptoms get worse. 'Flares' can happen with no obvious cause. There is no way of knowing their severity or how long they will last. They can occur more commonly during times of stress, or may be triggered by sun exposure, infections, and pregnancy. People with more severe forms of lupus can have serious problems with organs such as the kidneys, lungs and heart. If these organs are affected, you may need to see other specialists (for example, a kidney specialist if your kidneys are affected).
Is there a cure for lupus?
Currently there is no cure for lupus. However treatment for lupus has improved dramatically, with new medicines that are extremely helpful in controlling the condition. Be wary of any products or therapies that claim to cure lupus.
What treatments are there for lupus?
Your doctor will tailor your treatment to your symptoms and the severity of your condition. There is no way of predicting exactly which treatment will work best for you. Your doctor may need to trial several different treatments before finding the one that is right for you and may include medicines, such as:
> corticosteroids, when the kidneys or other organs are involved
> non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
> disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
For more information see the Australian Rheumatology Association's Patient Medicine Information or the Medicines and arthritis information sheet.
What can I do?
See your doctor for treatment and advice. Your doctor will help coordinate your treatment. As lupus is a lifelong disease, it is important to see your doctor regularly to make sure it stays under control. Your doctor may also send you to a rheumatologist, an arthritis specialist, for further tests and treatment. If you have lupus and have not seen a rheumatologist, ask your doctor about a referral. See the Working with your healthcare team information sheet.
Learn about lupus and play an active role in your treatment. Not all information you read or hear about is trustworthy so always talk to your doctor or healthcare team about treatments you are thinking about trying.
Reliable sources of further information are also listed in the section below. Self management courses aim to help you develop skills to be actively involved in your healthcare. Contact your local Arthritis Office for details of these courses.
Protect yourself from the sun. If your skin is sensitive to the sun, make sure you avoid the sun during peak hours, and wear sunscreen, a hat and protective clothing.
Live a healthy life. Stay physically active, eat a healthy diet, stop smoking and reduce stress to help your overall health and wellbeing. See the Healthy eating and Physical activity information sheets.
Acknowledge your feelings and seek support. As there is currently no cure for lupus and it can affect many parts of your life, it is natural to feel scared, frustrated, sad and sometimes angry. Be aware of these feelings and get help if they start affecting your daily life. See the Arthritis and emotions information sheet.
Learn about lupus and your treatment options. Lupus is a complex condition but can be well controlled.

THE 10Rs+ Strategy
To support our mission of better science for better healthcare we offer ten recommendations and a strategy.
Animals are used in medical research to observe disease mechanisms in what is termed 'basic research' and in preclinical trials mainly to test pharmaceutical drug treatments. They are used as 'models' with the purpose of learning about the progression of disease and to predict the safety and efficacy of drugs and surgical interventions intended to benefit human health.
This type of research forms a large part of biomedical research and, while it is mainly used for drug development and testing, many other fields of medicine and biology also use it. It attracts proportionately more funding than clinical research (research focusing on humans).
Whether or not the public agree that it is ethical that animals are used in this way, clinical researchers (investigators) continue to use animal data (information from animal experiments) to design drug trials involving patients and research volunteers. In this case the investigators evaluation of the animal studies for their relevance to human medicine is critical. It is our concern that not only do investigators fail to use all the scientific research assessment tools available but that their work is insufficently regulated to achieve high enough standards of conduct.
Added to this there is a disturbing lack of scientific rigor in the way animal research is funded and carried out. This impacts clinical research which in turn can result in harm to patients and research volunteers and waste resources. There is also the finding that much animal research does not translate to human health.
The debate
There is a long history of debate about animal research and with it comes a persistent lack of objectivity in discussion about the scientific issues. This has led to polarised and entrenched positions. While one side is controlled by animal research advocacy groups and the pharmaceutical industry making generalised, promotional and unsupported claims about its value, the opposing side has been occupied by anti-vivisectionists with a poor or incomplete understanding of science. One member of UK Parliament recently summed up the situation "People often think that the debate is just scientists against people who care about cuddly animals and have an emotional response, rather than people who are interested in the most effective scientific methods."
The pivotal position of the charity evolved out of this scenario with the aim of adding quality and insight to the debate and to call for improvements and revisions in policy.
The 10Rs+
RESPOND - REPLICATE - REGISTER - REPORT - RECORD - REVIEW - REGULATE - REAPPRAISE - RATIONALISE - REINVENT - REPRESENT Download file (below) for more detail:
1. Systematic review: a moratorium on animal trials (in line with calls for a moratorium on efficacy clinical trials) while a large-scale global programme of systematic reviews of existing animal studies is carried out, including systematic reviews of the value of animal research for the seven leading causes of death (Western world).
2. Scientific evaluation: a) evaluation of the validation methods of animal models and in relation to the higher standards set for the validation methods of non-animal models and technologies. b) a large-scale research programme to evaluate the predictive value of existing animal studies (as set out by van Meer and colleagues).
3. Inquiry: a full scale inquiry into why unreliable animal data are accepted by regulatory authorities while at the same time non-animal models and technologies with predictive value are less likely to be adopted.
4. Audit: a full and independent public health audit of spending on animal research
5. Apply the 10Rs+ Recommendations to animal research.
Questioning the reliability of animal research for human health.

We believe that a human being is made up of spirit, soul and body and that salvation gives that human being an immediate, brand new spirit, BUT the soul (mind, will and emotions) and the body are not transformed immediately, meaning there is a process that should continue after salvation. We're confident that we can help people with that process so that they can, become mature, complete, not lacking anything, according to James 1:5.
What are Soul Camps?
Soul Camps are designed to be a place to retreat to so that a person can intensify the process of maturing the soul, through teaching sessions, conversation and reflection.
Our weekend long Soul Camps take place in locations across the UK and Tanzania.
Our residential retreats include accommodation and all meals provided.
Alternatively, you could host a Soul Camp at your church or local venue.
Residential Retreats
Throughout the year we host our own weekend long residential Soul Camps in the UK and in Tanzania.
You are so welcome to join us at any of our upcoming retreats.
Host a Soul Camp
We would love to come and run Soul Camp at your church or venue.
About Us
John and Debbie Bullock have been involved in Christian ministry for over 30 years, 25 of those were as pastors of a church in the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales UK. For sometime during those 25 years, John, Debbie and their two children moved to Tanzania in East Africa to work as missionaries for several years, before returning back to the same church in the Rhondda Valleys afterwards.
Most surprisingly to them, their ministry has since led them back to Tanzania again where they now live. They are pastors of the Gatehouse International Church in Moshi and they are involved in various projects as missions workers.
Soul Camp was born out of their heart and passion to empower Christians to maximise their lives and experience the abundance promised in John 10:10.
"I wholeheartedly recommend Soul Camp to anyone and everyone. The teachings are deep and John and Debbie make it fun too. We are taking 16 of our Tanzanian staff through Soul Camp next month and we know it will greatly bless them."
Read Stephanie's story
Stephanie P. Midthun, Executive Director, Courage House Tanzania
"Soul camp gave me information, knowledge and tools that provided a strategy to overcome obstacles. Living in the truth and dispelling mistruths"
Judi Owens, leader at Arusha Vineyard Church (Tanzania)
"John and Debbie set an atmosphere much like a spiritual think tank where freedom existed for believers to come together with he word of God and process truth and challenge on so many life-changing levels. I am glad I decided to go!"
Jill Omari, missionary in Moshi, Tanzania
"Can't wait for part two! I feel like there's more - finding out about walking this out and journeying together in it!"
Anonymous, Tanzania.

Initiatives like the Animal Health Corridor and Kansas Biosciences Authority drew Dr. Jim Riviere to the Kansas City region. As a longtime member of KCALSI's scientific advisory committee before relocating, Riviere learned of the unique environment developing at Kansas State University.
In his current roles as professor and McDonald Endowed Chair in Veterinary Medicine at K-State, Riviere says he looks forward to strengthening that environment with the university's Institute of Computational Comparative Medicine (ICCM) and the Nanotechnology Innovation Center (NICKS).
Established in 2013, the ICCM functions as an incubator for researchers, bench scientists, and clinicians to collaborate under the concept of One Health which emphasizes transferring lessons learned in animal research to advance human health. As director of the ICCM, Riviere hopes to explore novel ways of looking at drug effects across different species.
"The work we are focused on could reduce the number of animal studies required for drug approval," said Riviere on the institute's website. "It could improve the determination of withdrawal times of drugs in animals with diseases; it could support the modeling of chemical risk assessment. There are many opportunities to advance veterinary medicine by using modeling and simulation methods combined with experimental data to form a quantitative framework for decision making."
Adding to the faculty members already working in this area, Riviere is working to hire additional, multi-disciplinary staff in areas including: biostatistics and mathematical modeling in comparative pharmacology.
"The idea is to get people that normally aren't working together, even though they are tenured, to work in the same area rather than being sheltered away in their own departments," Riviere said.
The Nanotechnology Innovation Center offers the equipment needed for the characterization, localization, and assessment of toxicity of nanomaterial as well as a regional resource for companies, industrial sponsors, academic researchers, entrepreneurs, and defense contractors pursuing new ideas. According to the center's Web site, NICKS is "the first nanotechnology research center housed at a veterinary college with an agricultural and comparative medicine focus."
Riviere said he hopes the culmination of these initiatives will result in a large industrial collaboration in the region.
"There is a lot of excitement and interest," he said. "It just becomes a center where really interesting things can be done."
Both the ICCM and NICKS are currently under renovation with an expected re-opening sometime in 2014.

Dogs Rule
Our office mascot, Magnum, reminds us to keep everything in perspective. Work-life balance is important to good work and a great life. After a great life, Magnum passed on in 2014.
As part of our philanthropic efforts, our employees selected The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) as our top non-profit organization. We selected SDF because of our love of dogs and because the organization's mission to train search and rescue dogs aligns with our homeland security focus. Learn more about our community involvement efforts.
Arc Aspicio has sponsored eight search dog teams, including:
Charlie and Chris Johnson
Golden Retriever Charlie and his partner, Chris, join the Arc Aspicio family as our most recent search dog team. Charlie graduated from SDF's training program in May 2016 and has since partnered with Chris as members of the New York Task Force 2 based in Albany.
On November 4, 2016, Charlie and Chris achieved their basic Type II Certification with the State Urban Search and Rescue Alliance, and they are now ready to deploy when the next disaster strikes.
Ben and Eric Darling
Arc Aspicio sponsored firefighter Eric Darling of the Ridley Park Fire Department and his canine Ben, a big Black Labrador.
In February 2014, the pair achieved FEMA Re-Certification. Eric and Ben successfully deployed to five missing person's sites since they were paired in June 2010. Ben's unbelievable drive and trainability propelled him through formal training, and he is famous for being so excited to go searching that he pulls trainers over just getting to the search pile. Eric was originally assigned to California Task Force 5, but recently transferred to Pennsylvania Task Force 1 with Ben.
Justice and Jeff Leon
Arc Aspicio sponsored firefighter Jeff Leon of the Tulsa Fire Department and canine Justice, a beautiful Golden / Labrador Retriever mix who was rescued from an animal shelter in California. She began her training with SDF on September 11, 2010. In June 2011, Justice met her trainer Jeff and it was clear that the two shared similar personality traits and made an excellent team.
Jeff and Justice retired from the program in 2016.
Taylor and Trevor Lawrence
Taylor, a Yellow Lab, was rescued from the Aberdeen Area Humane Society at two-years-old and recruited for the SDF Training Program in California. After she graduated, Taylor partnered with Paramedic/Logistics Specialist Trevor Lawrence of Utah Task Force 1.
The pair bonded quickly and received their FEMA Certification in 2014. The team focuses on missing persons cases in the Salt Lake City area.
Echo and Brook Rowley
Echo and his handler, Brook Rowley, are currently in training to become officially certified. After certification, they will join the New York Task Force 2, which Brook has been a member of for two years. Echo was rescued from a shelter in Menands, New York after originally being surrendered to a shelter in Tennessee as an active and playful pup.
Echo was rescued from NY after seeing his high potential for the search and rescue field.
Lani and John Stewart
Arc Aspicio sponsored search team John Stewart and Lani of Saratoga Springs, New York. The entire company first met them when they attended our 2010 Spring Celebration that raised awareness and money for the organization. John, a firefighter who also works for two ambulance squads, brings Lani, an 8-year-old German Shepherd, to work with him when they are not on a search deployment.
The pair attained Basic Certification in June 2006. A few days later, they deployed to assist with rescue efforts at the scene of a flood in central New York. Read about John and Lani's efforts in response to Hurricane Sandy.
John and Lani retired from the program in 2012.
Ivan and Kristi Bartlett
In 2014, Ivan, a five-year-old Belgian Malinois, graduated from the SDF training program and partnered with Lieutenant Kristi Bartlett of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department in Virginia.
In April 2015, Kristi and Ivan received their FEMA Certification, making them one of only two FEMA Task Forces in the United States that are equipped to respond to international disaster zones.
Skylar (in training)
Skylar is a Search Dog In Training, but is learning fast! Animal Care and Control picked up Skylar, a Malinois mix, in Oregon this past December. Her endless energy and profound love of toys revealed her search dog potential to SDF. Skylar officially entered the SDF program on March 1 and will train at SDF's facility in Santa Paula, CA for the next eight to ten months. Skylar is expected to do great things in training and will be paired with a handler after she completes her training.

By Jackie Melfi
This year's NCSF Parade was off the charts! A sea of white wove its way down Bourbon Street as thousands of swingers donning white crowded the pavement in a show of solidarity, and hundreds of couples and singles proudly carried signs conveying the benefits of a more open relationship.
"My Wife Is My Wingwoman!"
"Our Marriage Works!"
"We Support Sexual Freedom!"
…are just a sampling of proud declarations written on poster board for all the world to see (or at least anyone walking down Bourbon Street).

"People who are not interested in kinky sex find it hard to understand, but some of us are just wired to really enjoy extreme sensations, whether it's emotional or physical or mental challenge," said Susan Wright, the founder of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, an advocacy organization.

This Monday, Eric Schneiderman resigned as the New York attorney general after four women alleged that he had assaulted them. Two of the women claimed they had been "choked and hit repeatedly by Mr Schneiderman", while another said she had been "violently slapped across the face". A fourth woman alleged similar experiences.
In a statement issued on Monday, Schneiderman disputed the allegations, and seemed to imply that what had happened was part of kinky, rough sex: "In the privacy of intimate relationships, I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. I have not assaulted anyone. I have never engaged in nonconsensual sex, which is a line I would not cross."
As a member of the BDSM community, I think its important to clarify the difference between rough sex and assault. In today's post-50 Shades world, we all know there are many people who enjoy kinky sex and they like being called names or roleplaying. So you can't judge the difference between rough sex and assault based on the behavior itself. The way you determine the difference is consent.
So the first step is to get specific agreement that this particular thing sounds hot and sexy and everyone involved wants to give it a try. Kinky people love to talk about what they want to do to each other. That's our foreplay and we know the anticipation adds to the fun. But talking about what you like to do together is just the beginning.
To give consent, you have to have be informed about what you're going to do. That means you have to talk about the risks involved so everyone's on the same page. For example, a slap to the face carries a much higher risk than a slap to the buttocks because you can injure the ear, jaw, eye and other parts of the face. This higher risk means it's even more important to talk to someone before slapping them in the face, not only to make sure it's desired, but also to make sure that the risks are understood.
Kinky sex starts with a conversation. We have a saying that if you can't talk about it, you're not ready to do itWhen it comes to these things that carry a higher risk, even if there is consent, you can be arrested for assault if you seriously hurt someone. That's why it's important to learn the skills and techniques involved to make sure you do things as safely as possible. For example, there are ways to do breath play that don't involve putting your hand around someone's neck and choking them, which is high-risk behavior.
You also can't get or give consent to do high-risk things when you're intoxicated because your judgment is impaired. If you aren't sober enough to drive, then don't do it.
One way to tell whether something is consensual or abusive is to ask: can you stop what's happening? As soon as someone wants to end the activity, it must stop, otherwise it's assault.
Some people agree to just say "stop" or "no". Others use a safe word, a unique word that stops the action without having to say no. That's because it can be hard to say no sometimes, especially when you're in a stimulated or submissive headspace. One common safe word in BDSM play spaces is "red", with "yellow" being used as a caution word, meaning you need to pause to adjust something.
True affirmative consent is not asking, "may I touch you here?" then "may I touch you here?" That's because constant questioning can be coercive. And once someone gets all hot and bothered, they may not be in their right mind to consent. So don't add things in during the middle that you haven't talked about already.
Kinky sex starts with a conversation. We have a saying that if you can't talk about it, you're not ready to do it. So first, figure out how to talk about what you want to do with your lovers. Anything else is nonconsensual.
Consent, the Dividing Line There is a bright line between pain caused by unwanted sexual or domestic violence and pain that can come during some kinds of consensual sexual activity among willing participants. "If it's not consensual, then it's not 'rough sex.' It's abuse," said Susan Wright, the founder of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, an advocacy organization for a diverse range of sexualities and sexual preferences. Consent should be given early and often, she said. Limits, risks and how to stop sexual activity should be discussed beforehand. And assumptions should never be made. "I know some people think it's not sexy or spontaneous to actually talk about sex before you have it," she said. "They're absolutely wrong, because it's the best foreplay in the world to talk about the things that turn you on and find out what things turn the other person on." Even with consent, if sexual activity causes serious harm, it crosses the line to assault, she said.

Keira: Again, so, firstly, I am a female, I am queer, I am married. Those three, being polyamorous is constantly intersecting with them. Being a female, it means that I'm dating and dealing with dating tends to have its own special lovely issues in and of itself. It means that I'm finding new partners, I'm teaching new people about polyamory regularly because I live in an area where polyamory is all but unheard of. It gives me the opportunity to explore my queer identity by letting me have a girlfriend while I'm also married to a man.

This week Woody & the Beast have their annual talk with Susan Wright of the NCSF. With all the news of high profile men, finally having to admit the sins of their past and as the result, they loose their jobs. High profile jobs, news anchors, senators, movie actors and producers. How's next the President? Susan gives perspective on this sign of the times. Susan Wright spends the bulk of her time acting as an educator and advocate for people who have been persecuted for their sexual preferences. She does this through her work with the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom — which she founded — and through a multitude of other projects. In the other half of her life, she has published over 30 novels over the course of her writing career, many of them sexually charged fantasy novels. Considering her output, you'd assume she'd have no time left over after she finished plotting out storylines, writing manuscripts, and making her way through the editing process.

Is sex addiction real? It depends who you ask: Hollywood stars and industry heads who've cited it in defense of reported sexual indiscretions—ranging from infidelity to harassment to rape—may argue that it is. Over the last decade, celebrities including David Duchovny and Tiger Woods have famously sought treatment for sex addictions; more recently, Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey have made similar announcements after accusations of misconduct.
Among scholars and medical experts, the consensus is less clear. And just this week, three non-profit organizations came out against the notion that sex or pornography can be "addicting," saying the term can be misleading or even harmful to people seeking help for intimate issues.
The new position statement, drafted by the Center for Positive Sexuality (CPS), the Alternative Sexualities Health Research Alliance (TASHRA), and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF), is published this week in the online Journal of Positive Sexuality. It follows a similar statement last year from the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, which also spoke out against the idea of sex or porn addiction.
In their statement, the advocacy groups write that perceptions of sexual "addictions" may have more to do with people's religious or cultural beliefs than of actual scientific data. The concept of sex addiction "emerged in the 1980s as a socially conservative response to cultural anxieties," the authors wrote, "and has gained acceptance through its reliance on medicalization and popular culture visibility."
The idea that people can be addicted to sex (or to porn) implies that people's sex drives and erotic interests can be grouped into "normal" and "not normal," the groups say, which could leave those with alternative sexual identities vulnerable to discrimination. It can also suggest that using sex or pornography as a coping mechanism is always a bad thing—when in fact, the statement argues, it may be perfectly healthy way to deal with stress and other problems.
These groups have the medical community at least partially on their side. Sex addiction is not recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), the reference guide for mental illnesses published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). One reason for that is a lack of evidence that sexual behavior changes the brain the same way other addictive substances—like drugs and alcohol—do. ...

Over the past few years, alternative sexual culture has gone from niche to nearly mainstream. The first two films in the BDSM-themed Fifty Shades of Grey series each made over $100 million at the US box office. Polyamorous relationships are also becoming increasingly commonplace—in a 2015 study by the legal data startup Avvo, 4% of American respondents classified themselves as currently in an open relationship, and only 45% of men (and 62% of women) said they were morally opposed to them.
Sex parties—events where participants can have sexual experiences with other attendees in a safe and consenting environment—are also growing in popularity. Ben Fuller, the founder of Modern Lifestyles, a ticketing service for swinger parties, told Quartz that his business has increased by 81% over the last two years.
But just because these subcultures are becoming less taboo, doesn't mean that the authorities see them that way. There are still laws on the books in many states that prevent kink and BDSM—an acronym for Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism—from being practiced openly. Non-kink sex-positive events are also stifled by these laws, which prevent these events from openly advertising and charging for tickets.
We asked Deborah Rose, a Philadelphia-based veteran promoter of sex-positive events, to explain the regulations surrounding the industry, how promoters get around some of these barriers, and strategies for making the scene better and safer for participants.
THUMP: How would you define a "sex party"?
Deborah Rose: I think that it would be a mistake to call a sex-positive space a "sex party, because they're usually not just sex-centering. Some of them are, but most of them aren't. Most of the communities who go to these kinds of parties call them "play parties" more than anything else.
There are many different iterations [of what a sex-positive event can be]. They can vary largely in size. There are parties in people's private homes that range from five to 10 people, and then there are really large-scale events that can be 150 people on a Saturday night in a warehouse or at a music venue. Largely, those parties exist in BDSM, kink, and fetish communities.
The swinger communities tend to have what are commonly called "sex parties." But they largely don't have those in warehouses—they have their own clubs. We see swing clubs in most major cities, and those are established, for-profit businesses that facilitate a sex-positive space in a really specific context. Those communities are largely straight, white, and heteronormative.
What are the laws surrounding these kinds of events?
The most common misunderstanding is that the laws are the same everywhere. Actually, the biggest problems that these communities face is that the laws are different everywhere you go.
In major East Coast cities, they vary wildly. Most cities do have a swingers club, which facilitates sex parties that are completely above-board. They're licensed clubs. It's a special licensing they seek from the zoning board or from licensing and inspection that allows them to operate as a completely confidential, private, members-only club. When people come in, they don't buy a ticket for the night. They buy what is branded as a "membership," so that they buy into this membership, which allows the clubs confidentiality [and therefore protection from prosecution for potentially violating vice laws].
On the East Coast, "vice laws," sometimes called "blue laws," are laws that govern people's moral behavior. In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania—recently in New York, it was changed—you cannot facilitate sex or facilitate "abuse" in any way, which makes it so that it's almost impossible for a promoter to organize a party without opening themselves up to liability. Vice laws typically regulate sex, alcohol, and drugs.
When we talk about BDSM, kink, and fetish communities, those communities have largely been relegated to spaces that are not zoned and licensed. Because in many East Coast cities and in many East Coast states, you [legally] do not have the ability to consent to "abuse". So, facilitating these parties or participating in these communities can be illegal and can open you up to prosecution.
For swinger parties at licensed clubs, is it at all apparent in the laws or paperwork that sex will be happening at these locations?
Swingers clubs largely try to avoid explicit language on what we call the "public-facing internet" or "public-facing media." You go to the clubs and you understand what is happening there, but they don't advertise sex.
The other thing they don't advertise is alcohol. One of the biggest liabilities for a promoter is to allow alcohol into their spaces, because then you are involving whatever liquor control board—whatever organization that governs alcohol within your community—into your space. Anytime you mix alcohol and sex, you're automatically opening yourself up to a huge liability. Especially if you're taking money at the door.
So, the way swingers clubs circumnavigate that is almost all their spaces are BYOB. They have a bar--you bring your alcohol to them and they will serve it to you--but they are not selling you alcohol.
Aside from swing communities, which do have a lot of alcohol inside their community, most of the sex-positive communities that organize play parties shy away from alcohol because of the liability that it brings [due to intoxicated people who can't consent or who may be a danger to others or themselves], and because of the level of regulation that it brings. It shines a light on what is already a space where we don't want too much exposure.
Could a sex-positive event be prosecuted as operating an illegal brothel?
In some states, parties that sell tickets or charge a cover at the door definitely open themselves up to prosecution for facilitating prostitution. Promoters sell tickets to events ahead of time to mitigate this issue.
You mentioned that because of some of these laws, it is difficult to throw any parties with a kink or fetish element. How do people get around that?
In the states where it is illegal to "facilitate abuse," they largely don't. Massachusetts is a really good example of this. Massachusetts has a very large kink community that does not participate in that culture within Massachusetts. They travel to Rhode Island, Vermont, and Connecticut, where events are more easily facilitated, and where the laws are slightly more friendly to these spaces. On the East Coast, the most active kink and fetish communities are in Baltimore and DC; because spaces are able to exist there legally, they're able to license themselves, and exist above board. Maryland and the District, as well as Pennsylvania, benefit from more relaxed laws in this regard.
What's different about the laws there?
Ironically enough, the law that makes it so that you cannot consent to or facilitate abuse is the Violence Against Women Act, which is an incredible law written to protect domestic violence victims. But what it also does is make it so that the police can prosecute somebody without the consent of the victim. So, in states where that doesn't exist, we're more able to provide spaces for kink and fetish communities to flourish. But in states where it does exist, [the kink community] is largely stifled, for fear of prosecution.
You mentioned that the laws are also a little more relaxed on the West Coast.
Absolutely. States on the West Coast have more progressive ideas about sex and sexuality in general. Maybe not pervasively within the culture, but definitely within the laws. Because that exists, the best centers for sex-positivity and for sex-positive culture exist on the West Coast.
In San Francisco, The Armory [building in the Mission, owned and operated by BDSM-focused porn production company] Kink.com provides one of the best sex-positive spaces in the country. The other best space in the country for sex-positive culture is in Seattle. Both of these spaces exist above board and have both for profit and non-profit entities that serve communities. The laws that exist allow them to participate in communities that facilitate discussions about sex-positivity and provide spaces for these communities to grow in a way that is not available to us on the East Coast.
Are there any organizations out there trying to advocate for sexual freedom and sex-positive spaces as a First Amendment right?
Free expression is really what we're talking about. There's an incredible organization that exists within kink communities called the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, or NCSF, which exists to help all alternative sexual communities. Their goal is to raise awareness about alternative sexual practices and the way these communities govern themselves, and to add resources for people to explore their sexuality in safe ways.
They've created consent workshops and incident response structures; they advocate for sexual practices to be removed from the DSM, and they are lobbying Massachusetts, Virginia, and Kentucky to see BDSM and kink as a sexual practice rather than a paraphilia. They're an organization that has stood up for kink and sex-positive communities all over the country. ...

Yes, the lovable ball droid had some thoughts to share about the trailer, which it — or at least that Sphero version of the character — watched much in the same way Ridley did. And like with Ridley's tearful reaction, it's more about how BB-8 acts than anything the droid says… or beeps.

Befall Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 57 quotes )
I envy not in any moods The captive void of noble rage, The linnet born within the cage, That never knew the summer woods: I envy not the beast that takes His license in the field of time, Unfetter'd by the sense of crime, To whom a conscience never wakes; Nor, what may count itself as blest, The heart that never plighted troth But stagnates in the weeds of sloth; Nor any want-begotten rest. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
What was astonishing to him was how people seemed to run out of their own being, run out of whatever the stuff was that made them who they were and, drained of themselves, turn into the sort of people they would have once have felt sorry for. It was as though while their lives were rich and full they were secretly sick of themselves and couldn't wait to dispose of their sanity and their health and all sense of proportion so as to get down to that other self, the true self, who was a wholly deluded fuckup. It was as though being in tune with life was an accident that might sometimes befall the fortunate young but was otherwise something for which human beings lacked any real affinity. How odd. And how odd it made him seem to be numbered among the countless unembattled normal ones might, in fact, be the abnormality, a stranger from real life because of his being so sturdily rooted.

12 March fresh new video here
just so many of good footage,praise the IRINN.IR
so,Karrar MBT aka T-90MS mod 2017 Iranian limited Edition 2.0
Has finally have a bit long TV report,and what is this?
when i see this 'barrel protective case' thing,the only thing in my mind is
"NO,T-72I4! It's him! He is Back!"
but after watch the video i pretty sure it's nothing but reference ~
first noticed difference is the ERA kit
Karrar 'ERA kit is smaller, have 6 plate on each slide front
compare to T-90MS 's 4 larger size Relikt ERA
the thickness of the ERA are pretty close so i guess it's just the smaller new Relikt variant
RCWS/Commander panoramic sight Station
huge muzzle brake but it seems just a 7.62mm RCWS,but looks cool
also the sight itself looks a cheaper product compare to T-90MS
Digital map,commanding system and Vehicle information Display
this is pretty good, Karrar may have the best digital equipment in all Iranian tanks,not even Zulfiqar-3
normal vision channal of the commander sight
for the gunner,i noticed something interesting
now this is something new, the Karrar have a whole new gunner sight,so obviously the new gunner sighting system is not simply rip-off from russian
but the really interesting thing is, it keeps the 1K13,which compare to T-90MS removed 1A45 completely and replaced by Sosna-U and a back up sight
why is this? @Lightning think, that Iran hasn't prepare or able to create their own laser guide coding equipment,if they want to use 9K120 ATGM system,they need keep the 1K13 for laser coding
which i found is a high possibility that could be true
karrar's gunner displayer compare to T-90MS
let's expect more information of this tank in the future

PELE (Penetrator with Enhanced Lateral Effectiveness) rounds are a new type of ordnance developed by Rheinmetall in the late nineties and early two thousands.
As the patent shows, they are similar in outward appearance to traditional long-rod penetrators, but are different in cross section:
The basic principle of a PELE is that the outer walls of the penetrator are made of a denser material than the core. At the extremely high velocities that the penetrator strikes the target, density (rather than material strength) is one of the most important factors in determining penetration. So the outer walls are able to penetrate the target, but the inner core is not. The outer walls of the penetrator continue moving forward, which compresses the inner core. This presentation from ATK has a helpful diagram:
As this Rheinmetall presentation shows, this gives much greater behind armor effect than a traditional long rod penetrator:
This new ammunition is available both in large-caliber and autocannon calibers.
Compared to traditional high explosive rounds, PELE rounds have the advantage that there is no explosive material in the penetrator. This means that there is no UXO risk at training ranges. Additionally, a tank with APFSDS and PELE ammunition types would be able to tackle most target types. If the ammunition were two-piece, then the inert APFSDS and PELE penetrators could be stored in the turret while the propellant charges could be stored separately in isolation. Britain's chieftain MBT used an ammunition stowage scheme like this, keeping inert APDS projectiles in the turret and propellant bags underneath the turret ring in wet ammunition containers. An ammunition stowage scheme like this would have the advantages of isolated ammunition stowage, but would require a less bulky isolated section of the tank, which often adds to the silhouette of the vehicle (e.g. abrams' enormous turret bustle).
The biggest disadvantage of PELE compared to traditional high explosive rounds is that the rounds do not fragment unless they hit something hard. As the presentations above show, the 120mm rounds will produce considerable fragmentation patterns after hitting something as light as 10mm of sheet metal, but they still need to hit something. So airburst or proximity fused options are out.

We are not responsible for the content on, or privacy practices of, any non-Silipint.com web site to which this Site links or that links to this Site.
Silipint will not collect any personal information about you except when specifically and knowingly provided by you. Examples of such information are name, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, e-mail address, credit card information and customer preferences data. Examples of ways in which we may collect such information from you include the following: A. Registration and Ordering. Before using certain parts of this Site or ordering products, you must complete a registration form. When registering, you will be prompted to provide certain personal information, including but not limited to your name, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, e-mail address, and credit card number. In addition, you may also be asked to provide your country of residence and/or your organization's country of operation, so we can comply with applicable laws and regulations, and perhaps for your gender. These kinds of personal information are used for billing purposes, to fulfill your order(s), to communicate with you about your order and this Site, and for internal marketing purposes. If we encounter a problem when processing your order, we will use the personal information to contact you. B. E-mail Addresses. Some areas of the Site allow you to enter your e-mail address for purposes including, but not limited to: registering for the e-mail news letter, blog, or opening a Silipint account. C. Cookies. Like most other websites, Silipint uses cookie technology throughout this Site. A cookie is a small removable data file that is stored by your web browser on your computer. Cookies are used to provide customers with tighter security, customized content, tracking of orders, shopping cart items and retargeting (advertising). Unfortunately, customers who turn off cookies in their browser settings may not be able to shop from this Site. However, customers who have disable cookies can still place orders over the telephone by contacting our customer service number at 1.866.935.4831. THIS SITE'S COOKIES DO NOT AND CANNOT INFILTRATE A USER'S HARD DRIVE TO GATHER A USER'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Our cookies are not "spyware"!
Information Use
We do not sell or rent information about our customers and all information provided to Silipint remains absolutely confidential, except that: A. We may share aggregate or summary information regarding our customers with partners, advertisers or other third parties. This data will never identify you personally. B. We may share information with companies that provide support services to us (such as a printer, mailing house, fulfillment company or web host) or that help us market our products and services. These companies may need information about you/your business- in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them for any other purpose. C. We will use your personal information to communicate with you about your orders and deliveries, and we may send you a confirmation e-mail when you register/place an order with us. Also, if you submit your e-mail address to register for our blog, e-mail newsletter, or to open a Silipint account, we use it to deliver the information to you. D.

Protecting Your Information
The Site incorporates physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information, including Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") for all financial transactions through the Site. We use SSL encryption to protect your personal information online, and we also take several steps to protect your personal information in our facilities. Access to your personal information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to your personal information. Finally, we rely on third-party service providers for the physical security of some of our computer hardware. We believe that their security procedures are adequate. For example, when you visit the Site, you access servers that are kept in a secure physical environment, behind a locked cage and an electronic firewall. While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline.
Safe Shopping Guarantee
The Fair Credit Billing Act states that your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent credit card charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any amount up to the full $50.00, Silipint will cover the entire liability, up to the full $50.00.
If you suspect unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card according to its reporting rules and procedures.
Please note that Silipint will cover this liability only if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at Silipint online shopping while using our secure server.
Children's Privacy
We do not intentionally collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If we become aware that we have collected personally identifiable information from a user of the Site who is under the age of thirteen, we will remove that child's personal information from our files.
Opt Out/Corrections
Upon your request, we will (a) correct or update your personal information; (b) stop sending e-mails to your e-mail address; and/or (c) disable your account to prevent any future purchases through that account. You can make these requests by e-mailing your request to Silipint's Customer Support department, at email@example.com. Please clearly label the subject line "Opt Out/Corrections," and do not e-mail your credit-card number or other sensitive information.
Offline Collection, Use & Disclosure of Information
The majority of information that we collect is obtained through our Site, and this Privacy Policy applies only to that online collection of personal information. We also collect information offline, where we also try to protect the privacy of your personal information. One example involves someone calling us to place an order or to ask questions. When someone calls, we will ask only for the personal information we need in order to place the order or to answer the question. When we need to store information (such as order information), we will enter it into our database through SSL encryption. (See the Protecting Your Information section above for more information).
Policy Changes
We may change our Privacy Policy from time-to-time. We encourage you to refer to this Privacy Policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current Privacy Policy.

Wow! What a day we have had.
We had a fantastic sports morning where you all took part in a range of activities, showcasing your sporting talents. When I looked around, you were all having a go, giving it your all and smiling non-stop! I am so proud of each and every one of you for taking part and trying your best, well done! I had so much fun, I didn't take any pictures!
A big well done to the Yellow Wizards for winning the morning!
This week, we have been planning and preparing to make fruit kebabs. This afternoon, we reminded ourselves of the ingredients we had chosen and the instructions we wrote in preparation for this afternoon.
You all took turns to cut some fruit (with adult supervision!) and enjoyed selecting a range of fruits to try. We included a mystery fruit – some mango, which nearly everyone tried. Even if you didn't like it, I'm so proud of you for giving it a go. It's always good to try new things!
You put your fruit on the kebab stick carefully and we all enjoyed eating them together. I know you enjoyed them as you were silent – amazing!
"It tastes juicy!"
"This is so yummy!'
'Mango is my new favourite!"
"Its a bit slimy!"
"Can we have some more?"
I've never seen anyone eat so much fruit – you definitely had your 5 a day and deserved it after a tiring morning.
A great day all round – well done Matilda Class! Here are some photos from this afternoon.
Miss G 🙂
