The over sexualisation of children in the media has become somewhat of a moral panic. Much like, child obesity, terrorism and young street gangs. Stanley Cohen describes Moral panics as episodes that condition the audience of mass media, into identifying a specific person of group of persons as as threat to societal values. (Cohen, 1972)
Moral panics seem to be prevalent in contemporary mass media today, with young Australian ISIS supporters, ominous effects of fast foods and over sexualisation of children. These examples share a common trend, the corruption of innocence.
The image of children is largely presumed as innocent. Fresh, young, and only brushing the surface of education and emotional knowledge. But the media would have us believe us (and rightfully so(in a way)) that the subversion and undermining of this innocence is the moral panic that we should be concerned about.
It's true. Children's innocence has been undermined, subverted and sexualised. We live in a world of corporate pedophilia (Rush, 2006) Where children are portrayed in ways that connote sexuality, deemed inappropriate for there age.
A David Jones catalog came under fire after it was accused of portraying children in a sexual manner.
But whose to blame?
This is an important question to consider, especially when the mass media, is spreading the images that is claiming to be the cause of the moral panic. If the media is displaying the images of child sexualisation such as Haven magazine, displaying a hyper sexualised nine year old girl.
So if the media is where these moral panics are identified and also where they are most prevalent, then what are we as an audience meant to believe?
If the media is trying to alter the normal perception of child sexuality then why is it also identifying it as a moral panic. Obviously, it can be argued that the media aren't evil pedophiles. And they mostly likely aren't.
But imagine if they were!
It's easy to forget that like all companies and businesses have an agenda. A series of goals to achieve. The media has an agenda.
Our roll as a participatory audience is not simply consume and let the moral panic consume us, but to identify the source and cause of the panic.

A Friend in Wolf's Clothing
|Air date
September 26, 1995
"A Friend in Wolf's Clothing" is the 20th episode of Sailor Moon. It was preceded by Molly's Folly and followed by Jupiter Comes Thundering In.
Serena tells Molly to forget about Nephlite, but she is unable to, even though she knows how evil he is now.
While trying to figure out why his star crystal reacts to Molly, Nephlite realizes that Sailor Moon acted as though she knew Molly well, and thinks Molly knows who she really is. Zoycite keeps an eye on him when she finds out he is close to finding the Imperium Silver Crystal.
Nephlite appears before Molly at nighttime. He initially suspects that the silver crystal is inside her, but finds that it is not. When Molly wakes up, he tells her his real name and that he wants to betray the Negaverse and fight alongside the Sailor Scouts. He asks her where Sailor Moon is, but she does not know. Neflite is sure Molly will contact Sailor Moon. Zoycite and three of her monsters, Housenka, Grape, and Suzuran, heard every word and realize that he has fallen for Molly. Zoycite tells them to lure him into a trap by kidnapping Molly.
Molly calls Serena in the hopes that she knows where Sailor Moon is. She mentions Serena's name, leading Nephlite to suspect that Serena is Sailor Moon. Serena and Luna rush toward Molly's house until Nephlite does something to the road, forcing Serena to transform into Sailor Moon. Nephlite witnesses this, and now knows her true identity. Nephlite attacks her with energy waves until Tuxedo Mask arrives. Before Nephlite can attack him, he senses that Molly is in danger, and leaves, saying he can come after Sailor Moon whenever he likes. Tuxedo Mask tells her that Nephlite has his own agenda.
Luna witnesses Grape snatching Molly away, and goes to tell the Sailor Scouts. Nephlite arrives at her house to find a note from them, telling him to hand over the crystal. At an old house, Housenka, Grape, and Suzuran have Molly trapped. Nephlite arrives and fights them. He beats them up and uses a sword. He nearly kills Housenka with it, telling her to tell Zoycite that they will not get his star crystal.
Neflite leaves with Molly, who soon discovers a cut on his arm and bandages it up. As Neflite and Molly are talking about going to a cafe for some chocolate parfait, Housenka, Grape, and Suzuran return, and Housenka stabs Neflite with thorns from her arm. Molly tries to pull them out, but Grape shoots fireballs at them. Zoycite takes Neflite's star crystal. As Housenka is about to finish them off, the Sailor Scouts arrive. Sailor Mercury confuses the three monsters with Mercury Bubbles Blast, and Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars combine Moon Tiara Magic and Mars Fire Ignite and destroy all three of them.
Nephlite tells Sailor Moon that her true identity will remain a secret after all. He tells Molly to remember him and passes away, dissolving into sparkling dust which floats toward the heavens, much to the grief and tears of Molly.

This November, four visiting rehabilitation professionals from Hong Kong are attending a 10-day bespoke training programme at the Oliver Zangwill Centre. Lai Tsz Wing, Liang Bin, Kong Ka Yan and Ho Yu Man from the SAHK Continuing Rehabilitation Centre in Hong Kong started their programme with an introduction to our centre, learning more about our programme and meeting the team. They also had the opportunity to learn first hand from one of our clients how the programme benefited her. One of the highlights of the first day was sharing the British tradition of afternoon tea. The rest of the programme focuses on all the different components of our intensive rehabilitation programme with the aim of providing our visitors with ideas and innovations that they can implement in their own context.

I haven't been on Solent Music in a while. I should check it out. It's a great site based around the music scene of Southampton. Now… if I just type in http://solentmusic.wordpress.com/…
Wait… I know him! He's me!
Undergraduate music students in 2014 tracked me down a year after I graduated so that they could interview me, discussing my experience during my degree. While a couple of features that I wrote for the website, such as an interview with concert promoter Andy Copping and the SMILEcast 2013 podcasts which I produced, remain there as of May 2017, this interview has since been taken down. I had a miserable experience during my Masters Degree, which I was taking at the time of the interview. I shared this interview on my Facebook when it was originally uploaded in 2014 with a caption stating that everyone should "Expect it to be taken down when I go public with how little fun I'm having on my Masters. It's just as well that there are too many students for anyone to make a speech at the graduation ceremony. Be afraid." I like to this that one of the lecturers spotted that threat and had me erased from their history. Anyway, here is the aforementioned interview…
Q. Where are you from?
A. I'm from Portsmouth.
Q. What's your favourite music?
A. This isn't fair! Recently my MP3 player has almost exclusively looped David Bowie, Pulp, Outkast, Sigur Ros and Rammstein, though I am always open to the weird and wonderful. Also, special credit has to be given to Radiohead, who I still love, despite expecting to be sick of them by the time I had written 99 pages on them for my dissertation.
Q. Why did you choose the course?
A. Music journalism is a career choice that has interested me since school, and have pushed towards ever since, beginning by choosing to study Music and English Language at college for this very reason. Popular Music Journalism really was an amalgamation of everything that I was interested in. Despite the hardships of the course, my aspirations are exactly the same as when the course began.
Q. Best bits about the course?
A. There was a great emphasis on multimedia, teaching students how to use audio and visual recording equipment, editing and creating websites. Optional units allowed me to delve deeper into music scenes and genres than I had first expected, studying film soundtracks and avant-garde music. The worlds of both music and journalism are ever changing, so these focuses were indispensable. I began the course aspiring just to stare at a screen and type about whatever was in the charts, and then learned there was a lot more to the industry, and how I could pursue it.
Q. What work experience did you undertake during your time at university?
A. I was selected to accompany music students to Abbey Road Studios, to cover their recording session, and enjoyed listening in on the Skyfall soundtrack being recorded. I also worked at the press department at Bestival, helping to write and research for free paper The Bestival Bugle. There I got to meet some notable figures from the biggest music publications in the UK, and was attacked by four people dressed as 'security ostriches'. I kept myself together and received a quote that I will forever treasure: "Wow! Quite some journalist this one!".
Q. What was the best thing you did during your time at SSU?
A. I think that I'm most proud of my final project – producing a daily podcast during the university's annual week-long industry event, SMILEfest. Being at the reins of such a massive project with a cast and crew of over 50 people was tricky, and I'm still not sure how I managed it! It also gave me the opportunity to meet and interview several professionals from across the music industry who visited the university during the festivities.

Hot tires, roaring engines, and plenty of horsepower to boot
The 32nd International ADAC Truck Grand Prix took place at the Nürburgring from June 30 to July 2. And the Truck Sport Lutz Bernau racing team was right there, in the thick of the action. Seasoned truck racers Antonio Albacete and Jose Rodrigues took to the racetrack in 2017, with Rodrigues stepping in for the popular and successful motorsports driver Ellen Lohr at the beginning of the season.
MAHLE is one of Truck Sport Lutz Bernau's sponsors. But its support doesn't stop there: MAHLE thermal management components are also used in Truck Sport Lutz Bernau's vehicles each time they race. That goes for driver Antonio Albacete's current race truck too.
The race truck - Five tons and 160 km/h
Not only does truck racing represent the ultimate racing fever and driving skill, it also means extreme conditions and punishing demands on vehicle components. Truck racing is five tons of iron and steel hurtling along at speeds of 160 kilometers per hour!
Antonio Albacete's number 23 race truck is based on a MAN 19.480 TGX.
"The technical regulations of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) for the European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) state that a race truck must be based on a series vehicle," explains Egmont Bartmann, Manager of Truck Sport Lutz Bernau. "Certain components are allowed to be modified, others are not. So the vehicle frame has to include some series production parts. Engine performance enhancements are permitted, and certain components may be replaced for this purpose."
The rigorous demands on vehicle parts, Bartmann explains, stem from the fact that they are always running at full or near-full throttle to varying degrees during the race. "Every component in the vehicle has to withstand continuous on/off loading; it's like a test run in fast motion," says Bartmann. "This is particularly true for the components inside the engine, such as cylinders and piston components, oil and fuel components, as well as the engine cooling system. That's why our cooperation with expert partner MAHLE is vitally important to us in all these areas."
MAHLE components in the race truck

- Water cooler

|5,500 kg, of which 3,300 kg on the front axle in line with the regulations
|electronically limited to 160 km/h, over 200 km/h possible
The driver
Antonio Albacete has been racing since 1980. He started out a few figures down the scale, in kart championships, and moved on to touring cars in the 1990s. In 1997, he scaled up to the big leagues: truck championships. Racing for Truck Sport Lutz Bernau, the two-time European champion has laid claim to more than a few trophies between 2005 and today.
Profile: Antonio Albacete
Date of birth: January 15, 1965
Nationality: Spanish
Profession: Professional racing driver
Residence: Madrid/Spain
Family status: Married with two children
First race: 1979, kart
A day at the Ring with Magdalena
One thing makes truck racing different: rather than being tucked away in the pits, the trucks are out in the paddock, in plain view of the fans.
Tag along with our host Magdalena as she tours the Lutz Bernau paddock and the racetrack. You'll witness a pit stop first hand and hitch a ride in the Bernau race truck!
You'll also learn a few interesting facts about the vehicle components from the team's race engineer. And, of course, you'll see exclusive interviews with Team Principal Lutz Bernau and driver Antonio himself.
Winner of hearts
Despite outstanding technology and experienced drivers, winning also takes a bit of luck. Take this race weekend, for instance. This time around, victory just wasn't on the cards for Team Lutz Bernau!
Saturday's results
Bad weather made for extreme conditions on Saturday. In light of these difficult circumstances, Albacete opted against attacking his slightly slower opponent, Jochen Hahn—a move that resulted in a fourth place finish.
The second race of the day involved a collision. As a result, Albacete was forced to abandon due to tire damage.
Sunday's results
In the third race of the weekend, the bad weather made conditions even more difficult. The fourth race had to be cancelled altogether because the wet racetrack was too slippery due to fuel leakage. This brought the Grand Prix to a premature end.
Bright prospects
Despite these results, however, the team knows it's on the right track: "During qualifying, we were just one-tenth of a second slower than pole setter Norbert Kiss," said Team Principal Lutz Bernau at the end of a weekend cut short. "That's a good starting position from which to claim a podium again in upcoming races—with a bit more luck, of course."
Over three decades of tradition—the Truck Sport Lutz Bernau team
But the Truck Sport Lutz Bernau racing team has good reason to celebrate. Truck Sport Lutz Bernau has been a leading team in international truck racing for over 30 years.
Throughout Europe, team founder Lutz Bernau is widely held as a pioneer in this motorsports event. He first ran the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1984—with a Mercedes 1932 AK that he had prepared for the race himself. He launched his career as a truck racing driver in the same year, taking part in a race at the former French Formula 1 racetrack at Le Castellet.
Since the start of the millennium, the team itself has been making history: with no fewer than eight wins in the European Truck Racing Championship, including successes in driver and team standings. On twelve other occasions, the team or one of its drivers has clinched a top-three ranking in the overall standing.

The FIA
The FIA European Truck Racing Championship is the premier championship for this sport in Europe, enjoying the largest spectatorship on European racetracks after Formula 1. The series began in 1985, at that time still under the name European Truck Racing Championship.

We've got a two parter on our hands this week—a two parter with a whole lot of time travel. First, Austin, Cado, Natalie, and Patrick sit down to talk Apex Legends, the latest from Titanfall creators Respawn Entertainment. Almost the whole team has been dropping into the Outlands, and it seems like we can't get enough. Then, after the break, Rob taps in for Patrick to talk Sunless Skies, the sequel to Failbetter Games's Sunless Sea. This game's got space trains, zombies, and demons, and it all takes place in...hell?? Next, Cado and Austin give their first thoughts on The Division 2 beta, a game that has, in their marketing, tiptoed around the politics they use as environmental decor.
Discussed: Apex Legends, Sunless Skies, Sunless Sea, Fallen London, The Division 2

The honest Englishman at Lucca 14/01/2011Posted by florencecapital in Uncategorized.

comments closed
c. 1900
The sacristan [at San Frediano], who takes his charge seriously, will tell you the merits of a great silver cross, the Croce dei Pisani, which Lucca took from Pisa in Castruccio's day, and never returned. He will show you, too, the best thing that Civitale ever did, and the smallest, a portrait in relief of the head of Pietro di Noceto, a sharp-faced humanist. But of all he had to say or do I prefer his story of the travelled Englishman – not Mr. Ruskin – who made a drawing of Ilaria upon her bier, and promised a copy to the sacristan. The Englishman went away, the copy never came. 'Then,' said the sacristan, 'I knew that some serious thing had occurred; for this signore was an Englishman.'
God bless the man! I wish I had his faith in Englishmen. But the fact is, he was right. He inquired, he told me, of every traveller who came through Lucca, describing minutely (as all Tuscans can) the person and habits of the illustrious. His name he had never known. By these means he did discover that his Englishman had started in a ship for Leghorn, had died on the voyage out, and been buried at sea. If the drawing of Ilaria was not in his portmanteau the mischief was in it. There was no scruple of doubt in the sacristan's loyal mind.

It is commonly observed that small startup owners or entrepreneurs focus on the local market mainly and prefer to circulate and expand their products within that domain. This is because local market reach does not demand mega investment. This approach is good but making this ideology your core of working is not a productive mindset because it limits your work and learning.
Keeping earning factor to a side there are other amazing advantages of global entrepreneurship that I am presenting to you so that you can think to expand your business wings globally.
Exploration of New Ways
When you start delivering your products or services to other countries. You start exploring new ways automatically because demands and nature of market differ from a place to place. New ways of working, experiments with other materials, innovative styles of marketing and advancement in design is better for the quality of your product.
Learning Span is huge
Learning span is very broad when you start touching global market. From psychology of consumers till currents trend of the market, all the aspects get a better perspective because the producers and business owners have to stay active and advance to meet the market needs. They automatically start to think and market the product in a way that it could meet international standards.
Expended Brand Value
When products or services are available globally people trust the brand more. Local market fame is good but when the popularity graph includes multiple states this makes consumers believe that you have the potential to cater their niche and you know how to provide best solutions.
Factor of Customization
As I mentioned that needs and psychology of people vary from places to place so you cannot deliver one single thing with one set of the package all around the world. Your business automatically starts pitching things depending on the nature of market hence your business start delivering customized products or packages to the person which makes your brand name more efficient for the customers.
Investors Love It
Investors invest with businessmen who have the aim to spread their brand name globally. A limited business approach is one of the reasons for which investors would step back from investing in any entrepreneur business. In short, investors will love it if you bring your work with a futuristic approach to making your entrepreneur business globally renowned brand name.
The approach of spreading business or startup set up globally is not only beneficial but now becoming a demand for market too. A small entrepreneur business can become a big manufacturing or service providing company when you start expanding it globally. The broader the approach is, the more opportunities you look for and more you grow.

'Mr. Unintimidated' struggles to keep his story straight
Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker appeared at the Iowa State Fair last week, where he was confronted by protesters. One, in particular, drew the Wisconsin governor's attention. "I am not intimidated by you, sir, or anyone else out there," Walker declared.
It's an important part of the candidate's pitch: plenty of Americans may not be comfortable with his far-right vision, but the governor will not back down in the face of pressure. To drive the point home, Walker titled his recent book, "Unintimidated."
There's nothing wrong with the message. There may, however, be something wrong with the messenger.
Walker's record on immigration can charitably be described as "erratic." He's overhauled his entire approach to the issue more than once, contradicting himself along the way, and the governor's position tends to change based on the audience he's speaking to at the time. Last week, the GOP candidate's troubles became more acute when the debate shifted to birthright citizenship.
For example, on Monday, the Wisconsin governor told MSNBC's Kasie Hunt that he opposes the constitutional principle. To my ear, it was unambiguous – Hunt asked," Do you think that birthright citizenship should be ended?" He replied, "Well, like I said, Harry Reid said it's not right for this country, I think that's something we should, yeah, absolutely going forward." Clarifying further, Hunt asked again, "We should end birthright citizenship?" "Yeah, to me it's about enforcing the laws in this country," he answered.
On Friday, Mr. Unintimidated retreated, telling John Harwood that he refuses to take a position on the issue altogether.
All of which led to Sunday, when Walker took this third position in six days during an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. It took several attempts, but eventually viewers heard the candidate's answer:
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you're not seeking to repeal or alter the Fourteenth Amendment.WALKER: No. My point is any discussion that goes beyond securing the border and enforcing the laws are things that should be a red flag to voters out there….
So, he went from "absolutely" wanting to change birthright citizenship, to refusing to talk about it, to saying he doesn't want to change the policy after all.
One can only speculate as to how and why Walker underwent such a speedy evolution, but Sam Stein flagged an interesting Washington Post article from last week, noting the Republican candidate had heard from Stanley Hubbard, "a conservative billionaire who oversees a Minnesota broadcasting company and has donated to Walker's campaign." Hubbard said he was prepared to "quickly change my allegiance" if the governor stuck to the position Walker announced on Monday.
Less than a week later, the Wisconsinite effectively took a 180-degree turn.
As for the larger context, Walker's unapologetic boasts about how "unintimidated" he is seem increasingly hollow. At least for a while, the governor positioned himself as a brash, take-it-or-leave-it conservative, reaching out to the GOP's anti-immigration wing, even going so far as to consider curtailing legal immigration. When he opposed birthright citizenship last week, no one seemed especially surprised.
A week later, though, Mr. Unintimidated seems lost, unsure whom to pander to next.

By: Denise Ferreira, EIC
The first time I tried a menstrual cup, I thought I lost it in my vagina, and I would be the first woman on the planet to show up in the Emergency Room with a Diva cup lost up there.
I shared my experience on Instagram stories, which I will admit, me explaining what happened and my horrified reaction was pretty funny. One of my amazing followers, sent my story to @putacupinit with the caption "she needs help" and guess what? They reached out! They answered every single question I had, so I tried it again and just finished using it for my second full cycle. I'll be honest with you; I am still very new to using the cup, I'm still not confident enough to use it during a CrossFit workout, but have used it during a regular training session with zero issues. It takes some getting used to, and honestly, I think it's because I over think it so much, but now that I have the hang of it I don't ever see myself using a tampon again. It's changed how I feel about managing my periods.
I'd like you all to meet Amanda and Kimberly, the masterminds behind Put a Cup in it– the menstrual cup experts who are not only incredibly knowledgeable and smart but funny, down to earth and genuinely want women to understand how to manage their cycles better. They have created an amazing informative platform.
If I had all these questions about using a cup, then I was sure other women did too, so I reached out to Amanda and Kimberly for 2 reasons: 1) they had helped me so much and after looking at all the work they do in educating women I wanted to feature them as one of our 'Women of Influence" 2) I wanted to open up the opportunity to my audience to ask them questions.
Through my platform @deniseferreira.fit we allowed my followers to ask any questions that had about menstrual cups and we received some pretty amazing questions- a lot of questions actually and they have answered every single one!
So this feature is a little bit different. I wanted to highlight Amanda & Kimberly for the amazing work that they do, the business that they have created, the hows and whys and the ins and outs of Put a Cup in it. It was a pleasure to interview them, and the advice that they share have been some the most amazing we've ever received.
This article is broken into two sections.
- Interview with Amanda & Kim
- Q&A on Menstrual Cups where they have answered all your questions!
WOMEN OF INFLUENCE Interview: Kimberly & Amanda- Put a Cup in it
Kim & Amanda, how did you both meet?
We met through a mutual friend while at the blog conference BlogHer several years ago in NYC.
Was there a pivotal moment that made you start "Put a Cup in it"? Tell us the passion behind it all
We had both been using cups for some time and writing about them on our respective blogs. We both felt that there was a need for information and advocacy on the subject and we began working together on cross-blog collaborations. We both had websites with an educational focus, so it was an easy fit that we both felt passionate about.
While on a trip, Kim had the idea to use stickers in public bathrooms to help spread the word. She reached out to Amanda with the idea to design them and that was the spark that sent it all into motion. We started PutACupInIt.com as a landing page to direct people who saw the sticker to more information. Actually, all of the initial content was from our old blogs, but it quickly became something we wanted to spend more time on and so we began creating original work for it.
We absolutely love working in this space and think it shows in the way our audience and community has responded and helped it grow. On one hand, we feel amazed that we created this space, but it's equally created by the community and the passion they have for sharing their experiences and wanting to help others. It has a life of its own and it's truly amazing.
Menstrual Cycles has always been a topic that women feel uncomfortable speaking about, has that ever been an obstacle for you both?
Amanda's Experience
Oh yes. Growing up I 1) didn't want to grow up and 2) didn't want to discuss anything that involved growing up — especially boobs and periods. Unfortunately for me I have both large breasts and a period, so that caught up with me quickly. I wore tight bras to hide my breasts for years and didn't buy my own tampons until college. I would sheepishly rush through checkout lanes and kept my tampons discreetly in the bottom of my bathroom vanity, even after having my first child. I never felt shame or had a horribly embarrassing experience, but I was somehow embarrassed that it happened to me at all. No one talked about it and it was just something that didn't seem discussed.
For me, the start of the change in mentality was when my first daughter was born prematurely. I quickly began researching toxins in baby products, household cleaners, and foods. This led to a lot of changes in our home, one of which was choosing cloth diapers for her. It wasn't long before I began to hear about menstrual cups from the same places I was hearing and learning about cloth diapers. Initially, I heard how they were life-changing and amazing and, after being worn down a bit, I decided to give it a try. And my life was changed. It was comfortable and saved money and I wanted to tell everyone. I had recently started a blog to share cloth diapering information so I started talking about menstrual cups, too. It was shocking to me how easily I did it, considering my history of pretending periods didn't exist, but it was important to me to share the benefits and so I quickly got over any of the ridiculous notions that once kept me from discussing periods.
Kim's experience
Being a "period warrior" or advocate hasn't been a lifelong theme; I was never ashamed of periods but it wasn't a topic I walked around openly discussing. My mom was pretty open about bodies and I saw her change her giant maxipads more than I'd like to say. I also recall my step-father being open about the topic which I now realize is pretty amazing. Starting my period at school was my favorite excuse to call home in order to leave school early. I totally lied about staining my clothes just to cut class early and tied a sweatshirt around my waist to hide the non-evidence, so there's that. I do remember trying to quietly open my tampon or liner packages in school bathroom stalls and being self-conscious of those noises that signaled to all around I was on my period, which is so dumb, but it's just a topic that until recently was always kept on the DL. Even when I started my posts and videos about the cup 8 years ago it felt taboo to be doing so, though it was in the air that change was upon us. My openness about discussing periods has been a slow progression but I'm proud that I am raising two boys who have that same openness and they get a bit of a thrill talking about cups and periods like they have been let in on a secret.
What is one of the most common misconceptions when it comes to menstrual cups?
That they aren't hygienic
Cups are made from non-porous materials that will only collect menstrual fluid, rather than absorb it. If we are comparing to tampons, it's a no-brainer to us. Tampons absorb natural moisture, can leave micro-abrasions, leave behind fibers, and are typically made from rayon (not cotton!) which contains toxins. A cup, on the other hand, won't absorb vaginal moisture, leaves nothing behind, and it can be completely sterilized.
Cups are too big / vaginas are too small
This one is amusing because vaginas are literally built to accommodate a penis and the head of a baby. They are elastic! Of course, there are medical conditions that could make either, or both, painful, but that's nowhere near the average. And we have heard from many people with those conditions who have been able to successfully use a cup. As for size, cups are folded before inserting — with some cups and folds making them about the same size as a tampon. They open once inside to create a seal with the vaginal wall. Of course, the right size is important which is why we always refer people to our quiz to get started- TAKE THE QUIZ
They can't be used by virgins
There are multiple topics here but in general, the first one surrounding the idea of virginity (that a cup will make someone, not a virgin) and that because a person hasn't had sex that they can't use an internal device for physical limitations.
Neither of these things is true, though there may be cultural situations that need consideration, that's not what we're tackling here. Internal menstrual protection options are not sexual devices and using them doesn't alter the virgin status of an individual. Hymens can be vastly different and some people are even born without one. Hymens are simply not a good indicator of virginity.
The second idea is that it's not possible to use internal protection if you're a virgin. I'm not sure where this idea comes from. I myself (Amanda) used tampons from my very first period. I found them more comfortable and discrete, which were both things I wanted. I happened to have a septated hymen which made removal interesting at times, but it was perfectly possible. The caveat here would be for people who have a hymen that covers the opening of the vagina (an imperforate or microperforate hymen). This is not common (about 2% of teens) but it is possible.
Again the right size is important, so we always recommend that people try our quiz to get an idea of the direction for their first cup (putacupinit.com/quiz)
When starting Put a Cup in It, what is one thing you know that you wish you knew when you first started?
If anything I think perhaps we would have wanted to be a little more aware of the spectrum of gender identity. When we started the website we only spoke or wrote of women having periods. It's what we knew and that's how periods were, and still often are, talked about. "Feminine hygiene", which has a whole lot of cringe for several reasons, but we digress. During this whole journey, we have learned so much about the fluidity of gender and now we always do our best to be inclusive with our pronouns. It has really become an important part of our content and community. Fostering a safe and open space for people to share personal experiences and information is so important to us, and we think that the tone of the comments largely shows that. In our Facebook community, we ask everyone to be mindful of all members and to use inclusive pronouns — and we don't shy away from sharing why if it comes up. Just as periods are now becoming less taboo, gender inclusivity is recognized more widely and our community is mostly on board, though we do get the rare comment or message accusing us of erasing women and letting us know ONLY WOMEN GET PERIODS, which is simply not true. A safe space isn't a safe space if it only caters to a portion of the community it serves.
One piece of advice you would give to an aspiring content creator/influencer/blogger
Brand consistency is key — having already both started websites in the past, it was wonderful to start a new one with the lessons we had learned the hard way. We were able to claim our username without additional underscores or letters (Put_A_Cup_In_It_15$ would have been annoying) on all platforms. We are a brand in many ways and we treat ourselves as such in our online spaces.
We love the education that you have been providing, what's next for Put a Cup in it? Any big projects we can look forward to?
We actually have a huge secret we are holding onto that will be made public by the end of May. It's a project we have been working on since September of last year. It will be a whole new adventure for us.
Another long term project we've been working on is the first real overhaul of our popular menstrual cup quiz! We'll have a whole new, fresh look as well as some updates to the results featuring some of the newer brands and cup models that have come to the market. We get so much great feedback from the community and we can't wait to unveil the updates.
These are just the bigger highlights, so you can definitely say it's been very busy at PACII HQ this year.
Favorite quote or life motto?
Don't be a dick.
This used to be the golden rule in our group, but after some members complained that "dick" was gendered we changed it to asshole — though, to us, "dick" feels like "guys" in that it's is grammatically masculine, but in practice has come to be generally understood as applying to all genders.
Either way, just don't be shitty to people. Life is hard enough and we all have better, more important things to do.
Q & A with Kimberly & Amanda– all your questions answered right here!
What cup brand is good for a tilted uterus?
There's no particular brand as a tilted uterus doesn't usually help or hinder any cup. It's more important to make sure that your cup fits comfortably inside the vagina and sits below the cervical opening. So long as it's below the cervix, it should work.
How do you take it out?
Pinch the base the break the seal, and while keeping the cup pinched, remove while keeping upright then dump into the toilet and wash.
How messy is it when you take it out?
Surprisingly, not very messy at all, though when you're new it may be more so than after you've practiced. In all our years neither of us have found our fingers to be bloody or have made a mess on our floors or rugs.
Can you feel it while you walk?
A proper fitting cup that is inserted correctly should be undetectable. That said, if you feel your cup inside it can either mean it's too long and the stem or base is touching the entrance of the vagina which has more nerve endings, or the cup is too firm which is applying pressure from inside that is noticeable and you need a softer cup.
Can it get stuck?
Definitely not! If you pinch the base to break that "suction" the cup can sometimes create it should move down without resistance or issue. If you can't find the cup it can't be lost, it has nowhere to go, but you may have a high cervix. In this case, just use your vaginal muscles and bear down to move it lower, or try squatting to find it. In either case, our biggest advice is just to not panic, if you do your muscles tighten and this makes removal more difficult. The cup cannot be stuck or lost. Period.
Scared to try it, I feel like it would be extremely uncomfortable
It's actually more comfortable than tampons are for most people who make the switch. It looks a bit intimidating but it's a very comfortable product if it weren't you wouldn't be hearing about it everywhere and seeing the cup's meteoric popularity in the last few years.
I tried it once, but felt like it was pushing on my bladder, is that normal?
No, cups shouldn't be felt in any way. Either try wearing the same cup at a lower station or switch to a cup that is softer in firmness.
One tip for a beginner?
If the cup opens too early, which is often does for those trying for the first time to insert folded, instead of taking it out and trying again first attempt to push the cup high from the base. Removing and re-inserting over and over can lead to soreness and frustration.
Tips for wearing a cup while exercising and avoiding leaks
For people who exercise regularly beyond just taking walks, a cup that is on the firmer side is usually a better match. During medium to heavy exercise, the cup can be pushed lower from the movement and muscle contractions, a firmer cup stays in place against those movements better.
My cup is leaking, do I need a different cup?
Not always, trying various folds and insertion angles can sometimes help. We say it takes 1-3 cycles to get the hang of your cup. If you've tried all the tricks and it still leaks then you may need a different size or style.
How does it stay in position without collapsing?
Most cups have enough firmness (resistance) that they stay open while moving with your body. Some of those "free for shipping" cups seen through social media adverts are often flimsier than brand name cups and we do hear people leak with those. That's why we only list reputable brands in our resources.
How do you clean it in a public bathroom?
Just empty the cup and reinsert, then wash when you're home. The cup needs to be washed every 10-12 hours so it's likely you can wait until you're home to give it a good wash.
How do you find the right cup?
Not that it's a requirement, but taking our quiz can really cut down the chances of picking a random cup that ends up not being a good fit. We've polled our quiz takers and 88% of takers get a result that works for them. To increase your odds, knowing more about your body, your cervix height, and menstrual cycle are helpful. From there after you try your first cup you will know even more about what attributes in a cup you need. We say that it's likely you will find your perfect cup on the second try if you don't end up with one of the first.
How do you know if you inserted it correctly?
If it doesn't leak and is comfortable, that's it! It's quite hard to know without just trying it and seeing results. We always suggest wearing a backup liner or period underwear until you feel comfortable and confident that you've got it.
I find the Diva cup too thick — are there other brands?
There are dozens of wonderful menstrual cup brands. The good thing is that with so many options there is a cup that should work for almost everyone. Short, long, firm, soft, bulbous, tapered, etc.

St. Matthews Church donates land and rent-free space to create the Village Exchange Center
AURORA — In response to the St. Matthew's congregation's desire to support the region's refugee and immigrant population, Radian Inc. and OZ Architects is working with the church to successfully donate four parcels of land to Village Exchange Center (VEC). This new nonprofit was formed to create programs, provide services and host cultural activities, becoming a "one stop shop" to support integration, community engagement and the empowerment of newly arrived communities. St. Matthew's congregants unanimously approved the land donation in addition to rent-free worship space in their existing facility, and in March 2017, land ownership was transferred to the VEC.
"We are proud to partner with the Village Exchange Center to move forward their mission in providing services and safe space for recent refugees. As a community, we need to come together and establish welcoming spaces for individuals and families escaping injust circumstances," says Tim Reinen, Executive Director at Radian | Placematters, a Denver based non-profit architecture and urban planning group.
Nearly 21% of Aurora's 335,000 residents were born outside of the United States, this is the highest percentage in Metro Denver. As a community center and multi-faith worship space, the VEC will create bridges between people and communities, both locally and globally, through organic and co-located programs.
"OZ Architects and Radian | Placematters were selected through a competitive RFP process to design the VEC. The partnership highlights OZ's exceptional design work and Radian | Placematters' innovative community design work. OZ and Radian | Placematters are teaming up to produce designs to facilitate refugee programming with initial design efforts focusing on creating a safe, welcoming space for refugees through serving, connecting, and celebrating." – Amanda Blaurock
"The catalytic development of this site will benefit thousands of Coloradans monthly, fulfilling St. Matthew's mission to support community while leaving a legacy that will positively impact generations of families. Oz and Radian | Placematters plan to complete design work in late 2017 and construction of a new center is planned to begin in summer of 2018." – Steve Brooks

The mystery of spices, legends, scents and flavours.
By Viviane Rosa
Brazil is known worldwide for its soccer, beautiful women, and the Amazon forest. The Brazilian Amazon sitting in the centre of the planet still holds many unknown secrets for humanity. The sought-after Amazon region is located in the northern part of the country and occupies an immense space of land totalling 5.5 million km², The Amazon state alone is over 1.5 million km².
In Brazil, The official Amazon extends through the states of Amazonas, Pará, Roraima, Rondônia, Acre, Amapá, Maranhão, Tocantins and part of Mato Grosso, representing 61% of national territory. Besides Brazil, eight other countries enjoy part of this natural richness: Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana. As it is so large, visiting the Amazon is much more that just an ecological trip, it is an adventure in discovering infinite nature.
With the largest area of biodiversity on the planet, the Amazon has an equatorial climate that is hot and humid, and the average temperature is 28ºC. The forests in the region contain 60% of all forms of life on the planet. It is estimated that there are between 40 and 300 different species of trees per hectare and some that are over 100 meters high.
Brazil receives millions of tourists, who want to experience life in the jungle. Besides the closeness to nature, a tourist will find hospitable locals in the Amazon and incredible cuisine, with indigenous influences. The variety of fruits and fish, combined with local spices, result in true delicacies! A perfect combination of exotic scents and flavours.
Manifestations of popular culture and folklore are a big attraction for Amazonian tourists. There are as many legends, beliefs and myths, as there are types of music, dance and different rhythms to enchant the tourists. The Carnaval, in February, includes the traditional samba school parades. In June, there is the Amazon Folklore Festival with more than 800 thousand attendees. Also in June, 420 km from Manaus, there is the famous Folklore Festival of Parintins with the traditional party of the Boi-Bumbá.
There is also Amazon art, made from raw materials from the forest, such as seeds, fibers, wood and clay for ceramics. This art is rich in indigenous detail. Manaus has many museums and cultural centers with permanent exhibitions that tell of the rich history of this region. Besides this, there is the majestic Amazonas Theatre, which hosts the Opera Festival, from April to May, a reference for this genre in Latin America.
There are many reasons to include trip to the Amazon region as part of your itinerary. In Manaus, you can stay in hotels in the jungle, which are accessible by boat. Many of the accommodations are on solid ground; others float on rafts or a suspended in the trees, in flood areas. There are also luxury hotels and resorts in the region. The trip is a date with paradise, an exercise in humility in a mysterious, involving and passionate place. A perpetual and magical place, where all you need is to be brave and strong, favour preservation, and deplore ecological exploitation.

Finding appropriate home health and hospice care providers requires some research. You will need to talk with your healthcare provider to evaluate your home health or hospice care needs. When looking for a provider, consider the following:
Quality of care
Availability of services
Personnel training and expertise
Payer coverage
When evaluating the quality of a provider, you may encounter the following terms:
Licensure. Some states require providers to have licenses to operate. Basic legal and operating requirements as directed by the state must be met to obtain a license.
Bonding. A bond is a type of insurance policy for a provider. To become bonded, a provider must pay a set amount. The bond protects the provider from bankruptcy in the event of a lawsuit by a consumer.
Certification. State certification by state health departments makes a home health or hospice care provider eligible for Medicare (and sometimes Medicaid) payments. To become certified, a provider must meet basic federal and state standards in patient care and financial management. Certified healthcare professionals are certified by their respective national organizations. The certification usually requires passing a national test or work experience.
Accreditation. Nationally recognized accrediting organizations evaluate and accredit quality healthcare services. A provider must voluntarily seek out this accreditation. Some organizations who accredit home health and hospice care include:
Accreditation Commission for Health Care Inc.
Community Health Accreditation Program
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
National Committee for Quality Assurance
National Home Caring Council
When choosing a provider, consider asking the following questions:
How many years has the provider been serving the community?
Does the provider have literature describing its services, cost, and funding?
Is an evaluation of the patient's home healthcare needs required? Is there a written plan of care for the patient?
When are caregivers available?
Is there a nursing supervisor on-call 24 hours a day?
Can the provider ensure patient confidentiality?
How is quality of care and services monitored?
What types of payments are accepted?
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice will provide you with the most comprehensive database of agencies available in the U.S.

Rachel Epps
Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Rachel grew up in the studio. She trained with Barry Thomas and J Patrick McCann at Atlanta Dance Works, then studied under Maria D'Antonio at Brookwood High School. She attended the College of Charleston where she received a BA in religious studies and a minor in dance. She had many training and performance opportunities around the country during her time at BHS and CofC. After college, she taught for Once Upon a Ballet in Charleston, SC, and wrote a children's book about the history of ballet (Ballerinas Abroad!). She is thrilled to share her love of dance with her students! Rachel and husband, Steven, have three daughters: Millie, Mollie, and Marlee. Rachel loves giraffes, the color teal, and all things chocolate--except coffee.
She hates coffee. Even if it has chocolate in it. (Yes, seriously!)
About Our Studio
At Arts in Motion, we work to develop, inspire and cultivate the individual talents of your child in a loving and nurturing environment. It is our mission to offer quality and comprehensive dance education through age appropriate classes, always encouraging and nurturing creative minds in all aspects of the arts!
We believe in…
Progress over Perfection
We believe we are all a work in progress no matter our age—we are never finished learning! We do not ask for perfection, but believe in determination, consistency, and passion.
Tendu-to stretch. We believe that, in order to keep progressing, you must continue to stretch yourself—physically and mentally.
Collaboration over Competition
In a world filled with competition, we believe in providing space for our students to come together to create. Not for a medal or trophy, but for the joy of creating something new!
Assemblé: to assemble, or join together. Learning to work together is a valuable life skill we instill in our dancers.
We believe in building our students' strength and confidence, not just in the studio, but in life.
Relevé-raised, to rise up. We believe in lifting each other up through positive reinforcement and a nurturing learning environment.
Inspiring Artists
Growing Leaders
Comprehensive Education
We believe leadership trickles down. That's why our teachers dress for their role as teacher: to set the example and tone of each class. Our older students serve as mentors for our younger students. As a studio, we strive to do good in our community. We will engage in community service projects as a dance family.
En Dedans/En Dehors: Inward/Outward. We want our dancers to be inwardly strong (confident and positive self-image), and outwardly focused (seeking to leave the world a better place each and every day).
Sometimes we don't realize what we are capable of until someone else helps us see our own potential. We strive to continually improve as a studio and dance educators, encouraging and inspiring our young artists to never give up on themselves or their dreams.
Chassé: to chase. We believe in chasing dreams and working hard to catch them!
Dance is full of technique and artistry.
It also has significant influence in a dancer's life, physically, emotionally, and intellectually. It reinforces concepts such as discipline and respect. Our students not only receive technical training, as they progress they will also learn dance history, vocabulary, and anatomy of a dancer as a way to help them better understand their technical training.
Entrechat-interweaving or braided. We believe dance is more than just a once a week activity, but can have significant influence on a child's life. We also take our role as teacher very seriously, recognizing the influence we can have.

'That part of the beach will feel empty now' - Tributes paid to Yarmouth deckchair legend
PUBLISHED: 10:21 16 April 2019 | UPDATED: 11:32 16 April 2019
Archant Norfolk © 2013
Tributes have been paid to one of Great Yarmouth's "finest characters" and "good old boys" - renowned for having the best sun-tan in the town.
Nut brown and as laid back as the loungers he hired out on the town's famous sands Dusty Miller, known as 'the deckchair man' has died aged 85.
Announcing his death his nephew Tony Miller described him as "a great man and a figure many looked up to."
He said: "That part of the beach will feel empty now."
Mr Miller had been renting deckchairs and windbreaks to sunseekers for some 63 years, swimming off the beach three times a day every day in the summer.
His daughter Debbie Roscoe said he was down on the beach all last summer despite being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and dementia.
Losing his wife of 60 years June, had also been a blow, she said adding: "It was our one wish that we got him through the summer."
"He absolutely loved it, that is why he was there for so long.
"I do not think the beach will ever be the same."
The father-of-three, speaking about his life on the Golden Mile on his 80th birthday, said he enjoyed being outdoors whatever the weather and had loved the way of life.
Albert Jones, owner of Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, described Mr Miller's death as "a tragedy."
He said: "He used to have the deckchairs down by the Pleasure Beach round near the log flume. He had marvellous sun tan and I always picture him in his shorts and sandals with his money bag.
"He was a character and they are not about like they used to be. He would stop and have a chat with anybody, he was Yarmouth through and through."
Paying tribute to him on Facebook Debs Kerr said: "So many fond memories of Dusty when we were kids playing on the beach and being a family friend. "The town has lost one of the kindest characters going.
"I'm going to sit in my old deckchair and raise a cheeky toast to you Dusty."
Julliet Perry said: "Lovely man Dusty, the man with a tan and a big smile and always asked how you were doing.
"A true gent and will always be part of Yarmouth's history."
Others described him as "a real character", "a proper Yarmouth man," and "a legend of the seafront."
Mr Miller, whose real name was Leslie, told this newspaper how he started the deckchairs in 1956 when he came back from the Navy.
He said as one of eight children he was brought up on the beach and loved the freedom.
He leaves three children Paul, Debbie, and John, grandchildren Lewis, Lee, Hayley, Gavin and Daniel and great grandchildren Riley, Mason, Nancy, Jasper and Bertie - as well as a large circle of friends from the holiday and tourism fraternity.
He died on April 9, a year after his diagnosis, and will be buried with his trademark swimming trunks and deckchair canvas.
