Artistic Nudes - A study by Fahd A. Paracha

=fahap:iconfahap: reports, 1d 10h ago
Depictions of nudity refers to nudity in all the artistic disciplines including vernacular and historical depictions. Nudity in art has generally conformed — with some variation — to social standards for public nudity; in cultures where nudity was accepted, nude figures in painting and sculpture were as well.

deviantART's Mature Content Hypocrisy

*sephys-little-cloud:iconsephys-little-cloud: reports, 1d 2h ago
Why does the deviantART staff refuse to enforce their own rules sometimes? When it comes to prohibited content such as pornography and underage nudity, why do they let some obscene material stay up, while innocent deviations get deleted?

E – The Environmental Magazine

~tacomeme2007:icontacomeme2007: reports, 2d 21h ago
You'll read things in E that you won't find anywhere else...

Think about it...
EPA researchers estimate the air inside our homes and offices is two to five times more polluted than the outside air. Considering most of us spend more time indoors then out and breath some 30 pounds of air per day, that's a big cause for concern.

It's a fact...
Underwater "windmills" (or tidal turbines) are tapping the tidal flow of New York City's East River as part of an important first step in harnessing ocean tides to create pollution-free electricity in the United States. Tidal power plants are also now operating in France, Russia, and Canada.

Paradoxically...
The wine industry's switch to synthetic corks and screw caps has the Rainforest Alliance up in arms. The concern is that forests of cork trees will decline because tearing the cork off the trees' bark actually stimulates the growth of the forest.

New research shows...
That hundreds of chemicals affect women's health more adversely than men's. And many of these toxic chemicals are found in products women use every day. Autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer's disease, certain cancers and osteoporosis are all more prevalent in women than in men due to exposure to these widely used chemicals.

Reading E will help you...

* Maintain a healthy home and a planet-friendly car
* Go organic and avoid genetically modified foods
* Make wise, environmentally responsible investments
* Use personal care products free of harmful chemicals
* Live the green lifestyle and be a force for change

Photobucket copyright infringement and petition.

=Raccoon-with-a-cigar:iconRaccoon-with-a-cigar: reports, January 30
Jonathan Bailey has recently posted an article on art theft on the popular upload-site Photobucket.com. The article can be found here: [link]

There are huge numbers of artworks stolen and published on photobucket without permission. Let's face it, it isn't really new, we've all seen it and tried to stop it. The problem is that now photobucket is selling prints of those stolen artworks, and it's easy to guess that no profit goes to the original artist. I found over 20 photos of mine on photobucket, using my usernames in the search bar alone (there are probably many more but with a different name), posted without permission, and of course I'm not getting any profit out of it.

To persuade photobucket into changing it's copyright policy, Jonathan has made a petition, which can be found here: [link] (scroll down to sign). Since there are a huge amount of artists from dA who's artworks have been illegally posted there, please take a minute and sign it!

And also, if you find your work posted without your permission on photobucket, please go here in order to have it removed: [link] (to check if your work is posted on photobucket without permission, type your different username(s) or name and see what the results of the search are).

And please, if it's not too much to ask, spread the word! We can only do this together, not as individuals.
