Our Pride Picture of The Month Is From Kiev, Ukraine

-
At MARPS IN UGANDA, we bring you wholesome news and development cues. This time around we bring you a choice picture showing how pride is received in different countries. This one is from Kiev where more than 150 demonstrators tried to stop the LGBT celebration in Ukraine.

Kiev, is the capital and largest city of Ukraine with a population of about 3,000,000. Kiev is known for its advanced technology industries and education centres.

During the country's transformation to a Market-electoral-democracy economy, Kiev has continued to be Ukraine's largest and richest city. 

Kiev's armament-dependent industrial output fell after the Soviet collapse, adversely affecting science and technology. But new sectors of the economy such as services and finance facilitated Kiev's growth in salaries and investment, as well as providing continuous funding for the development of housing and urban infrastructure. Kiev is divided between pro-Russia and pro-Western region with parties advocating tighter alignment with Europe or aligning with Russia. 

Kiev was the scene of intense protests and counter protests during the recent pride. But Ukraine being a democracy this was controlled in such a way that both sides expressed their opinions. Live and let live approach. For more see:advocate.com

Ukraine is a market economy and electoral democracy, Kiev has continued to be Ukraine's largest and richest city. Freedom of expression is held in high esteem.

On a topic such as this it’s best to get right to it and dip your toes in…or a douche as it were. Specifically we are referring to the act of anal douching, its reasons, benefits and some good things to know and consider when cleaning the old pipes! It’s also always good to consider hygiene in any anal play whether it is in preparation or if you plan on making anal douching part of the sexual play itself. Since we are jumping right in it should be noted we will be touching on the dreaded subject of fecal matter. Don’t be skeert! It’s why anal douching is important and since its use is specific to one part of the anatomy both males and females have in common that the same rules apply for both sexes. In fact it should be noted that many people believe the same feminine hygienic products used to douche the vagina are good enough to clean the rectum but most of these products are not created to clean the rectum and contain ingredients that can leave the rectum in an unhealthy state (st...

RECLAIMING FUTURES Thanks to those working to help teens advertisement |  your ad here On Friday, our community's Reclaiming Futures initiative hosted a one-day conference at New Life Center in Everett, "Systems 101." In the wake of years of budget and staffing cuts and doing more with less when it comes to serving our teens, over 100 members of our community, from teachers to Judges, treatment professionals to volunteer mentors, made the time in their already busy schedules to come together to: Learn (from each other), collaborate, build cohesiveness amongst our educational, health, juvenile justice, DCFS, treatment, and youth placement programs, be inspired, and receive a call to action.

They were asked to imagine an integrated syste...
