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

The Quaintly Pieces Of deviantART - Edition 03

=zacthetoad:iconzacthetoad: reports, February 9
quaint: adjective
strange, peculiar, or unusual in an interesting, pleasing, or amusing way
This article will provide you with just that; the quaintly pieces of deviantART. Here is a list of interesting and unusual things that you can find and do here on deviantART. Some of them are known well, whilst others are not, but all of them one would consider... quaintly.


QUAINTLY THE SEVENTEENTH
Do you use deviantART at two different locations? If so, then you'll find that when you log in at say work, you get home to find you have been automatically logged out. Overcoming this is simple, before you log in, click on the Login button. Using this new window, you can log in without logging yourself out at other locations.

QUAINTLY THE EIGHTEENTH
Ever wondered who was spent the most time in #devart? Or perhaps which day was the busiest during the week? You can find all this and more with the official MN@ #devart funSTATS.

QUAINTLY THE NINETEENTH
Credit goes to `Rubycored for this, who made it known that each deviant has their own user number. You can find yours by following these instructions.

QUAINTLY THE TWENTIETH
Ever wanted to see who were the first deviants to comment on your page? Rather than clicking on the Next Page button a number of times, you can simply adjust the URL:
http://username.deviantart.com/?offset=25#comments
Adjust the 25 to what ever amount you like. If you go too high it will simply say No comments have been added yet.

QUAINTLY THE TWENTY FIRST
Speaking of comments on userpages, did you know you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom to add one? Simply click the Add Yours text below the Devious Information and it will take you there.

QUAINTLY THE TWENTY SECOND
When trying to organise the huge amounts of Notes we receive, this tool can be very handy. That is, the ability to customise folders in your Inbox. Clicking Manage Folders allows you to sort notes however you like as they come in. And for those of you who are unsubscribed, sorting notes means they wont be deleted after a month.

QUAINTLY THE TWENTY THIRD
Its a feature that's sat there for a while but not many people know about deviantMOBILE. Be sure to check it out today!

QUAINTLY THE TWENTY FOURTH
Finally, credit for this goes to =pickupjojo. Its a neat little trick that allows you to put anything after your username in the URL. For example:
http://zacthetoad.loves.deviantart.com
Be creative and you can try it with anything.

This concludes the third article with another eight quaintly pieces of deviantART. Be sure to look out for future editions and if you think you have something to contribute, please feel free to note me.
