Silver Ring Thing

Silver Ring Thing

Silver Ring Thing

Silver Ring Thing is a United States-based sexual abstinence program which encourages teens and young adults to remain celibate until marriage. Based on Christian theology and until recently funded by the U.S. federal government, SRT uses rock/hip hop concert-style events in an attempt to appeal to 21st century teenagers. It was set up by pastor Denny Pattyn while working at a Christian youth ministry in Yuma, Arizona, in 1996

Silver Ring Thing promotes the message of abstinence until marriage centered in a relationship with Jesus Christ through two methods: a Live Event and a small group resource called Project 434. Since 1995, SRT has hosted 750+ events in 8 countries, reaching more than 465,000 total attendees. We welcome the opportunity to bring this program to your community and partner with you to impact students and parents with the truth of God’s plan for purity.

Initially, SRT was funded entirely by private sources, but beginning in 2003, SRT began receiving money from the federal faith-based initiatives program. By 2004, SRT had received more than US $1,100,000 in U.S. government federal funding.

In 2004, SRT began expanding operations into the United Kingdom, with mixed results. While some teens in the UK embraced the message of abstinence, others rejected and ridiculed SRT for being anti-sex and unrealistic. Critics have stated that it seems unlikely that abstinence programs will attract widespread support in the UK because of the UK’s different attitude about sexuality and sex education, but the group’s Assistant National Director for the UK, Denise Pfeiffer, says there is a real need for such a movement in the UK to curb what she sees as the ever-increasing rates of sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancies, both of which she claims are the highest in Western Europe.

This SRT is already engage in some popular culture, whether in contra or agree about this act, for instance, A parody of SRT is depicted in the Family Guy episode Prick Up Your Ears, called ‘Opal Ring Crusade’. An episode of The War at Home (TV series) titled ‘Like a Virgin’ features a character who is a member of the “Silver Ring Society” and wears a silver ring while pledging abstinence.[citation needed]

In the horror-black comedy Teeth (film), the main character is a teenage spokesperson for a Christian Abstinence group called The Promise, which gives purity rings to schoolchildren, followed by a rave party. The first episode of the 13th season of South Park ‘The Ring’ greatly parodies chastity rings. Also, The Jonas Brothers are known for wearing these rings.

Cufflinks

Cufflink

Cufflinks

A cufflink is a decorative fastener worn by men or women to fasten the two sides of the cuff on a dress shirt or blouse.

Dating back to the seventeenth century, cufflinks came about when men wanted something more elegant for their shirts than ribbons or ties to hold together their cuffs. The cufflink has been a persistent element of men’s style for nearly 800 years. Prior to its existence, tailors used buttons solely as decoration, and men kept their clothes together with pins, laces and straps. During the 13th century, tailors began using buttons as fasteners.

The development of the worked (stitched) buttonhole during the Renaissance aided in the button’s popularity. But it wasn’t until the post-Renaissance period in the 1600s that two ornamented buttons, attached in the middle with a link of chain, became de rigeur among the upper classes of Europe, especially Great Britain. Jewelers began turning out what they called “sleeve buttons” in silver and gold, with etched or stamped designs, and often encrusted with precious gems. Royals commemorated weddings and other special events with them, and the wearing of cufflinks became the mark of a gentleman.

The practice of wearing cufflinks spread and became ubiquitous during the 19th century. Imitation gems such as glass paste, micah and crystal, as well as gold- and silver-plate and base metal alloys were all employed by jewelers to make cufflinks affordable to the masses. By the late Victorian period, cufflinks and shirt studs were essential to every gentleman’s wardrobe.

In 1970 the buttons on the shirt replaced the cufflinks and they became almost forgotten for some time. But after 20 years, in the beginning of 90-th, many men began to return to cufflinks, as the real jewelry art. At the same time women’s cufflinks fashion began to arise, and now it is one of the most fashionable accessories among the elite.

At the beginning of XX century cufflinks were the best gift. For example, when the Russian Empress Maria Feodorovna had to present a beautiful, unusual and solid thing, she ordered cufflinks shaped like cicadas from Faberge.

Cufflinks should match with other accessories in tone, and the watches, and scarf-pin are in the first positions to compare. It is categorically forbidden to wear a silver watches bracelet with gold cufflinks, and vice versa. It is also better not to wear too bright or unusual cufflinks to the classic watches or timer. Wearing cufflinks is allowed only with double-cuffed shirt (it is sometimes called France). It is not recommended to wear cufflinks with clothing with both buttons and cufflinks slots.

The cufflink has grown into a popular fashion statement for both men and women alike. Today, cufflinks can be found in any shape or style for all types of dress. From silver, gold, silk, mother-of-pearl, onyx, white gold, and much more, and it makes the history remain the glory of the early begin fro cufflinks before.
