May 21, 2012, two activists of the Ukrainian movement FEMEN "dethroned" the Euro 2012 Cup in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine again after their success action in May 12.
They approached the place where it was on display in Dnipropetrovsk, bared their chests, which had an obscene inscription referring to Euro 2012, and pushed over the trophy. They argue that the action was held in protest against FIFA allegedly promoting sex tourism in Euro 2012 host cities.
Now an autonomous region of China, Tibet is an intriguing and mysterious land of snow high up in the Himalayas that borders Nepal, Bhutan and India. For centuries, it was a dream destination for scientists, adventurers and missionaries and once almost inaccessible, it was a blossoming yet hidden kingdom. Lhasa, the �holy city� and �place of the gods� is the capital of Tibet and also its largest city. The Jokhang Temple was originally built as a shrine for a special Buddha statue. In the 7th century, the statue was a valuable wedding gift from the Chinese Emperor to Princess Wen Cheng who had it transported to Lhasa. Around 7 kilometres west of Lhasa�s city centre is the old summer residence of various former Dalai Lamas. The Norbulingka, Garden of Gems, has been deserted since the end of the 1950s because in 1959, the last Dalai Lama was forced into exile by the Chinese. A pilgrim trail leads up to Drepung Gonba that was built in 1416 by a scholar of Je Tsongkhapa who was the founder of the Gelug Order. The Gelug Academy is the earliest of the four main doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism and the followers of this order are also known as Yellow Hat sect. Lhasa is a city of gods on the roof of the world and is undoubtedly one of the last mysterious locations on Earth. Video Rating: 0 / 5

When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot . However, even though the Chinese have gotten more at ease with the idea of modeling in the nude since 1928, it still remains quite the controversial career path to take in China. Every time some nude picture appears, the public nudity debate gets stirred up again and sometimes violence may even ensue. Some think that it's shameful and the models just get naked for the so-called sake of art to make easy-money and ...
