Pictures Showing Abuse Of U.S. Detainees Must Be Released, Judge Rules -1GOT NEWS
A U.S. District Judge has ruled that the U.S. must release pictures of detainees who were abused in Iraq and Afghanistan. The ruling comes more than 10 years after the American Civil Liberties Union first sought the release of the images.

The government, which has been fighting the release of the images in court for more than decade, has 60 days to decide whether to appeal the ruling by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein.
"Accordingly, judgement is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff. The Government is required to disclose each and all the photographs responsive to Plaintiff's FOIA request, unless it moves promptly to cure its failure to submit an individualized certification."
ACLU attorneys in their court filings referenced the abuse of detainees in Abu Ghraib, where pictures of the abuse sparked international outrage.
"Photographs and videos leaked to the press have established beyond any doubt that detainees held in Iraq have been subjected to humiliating and degrading treatment," attorneys wrote in their original complaint.
Government officials have argued that releasing the photos could incite attacks against the U.S. A law passed in 2009 would allow the images to remain secret if the secretary of defense certifies that releasing them would endanger U.S. citizens, the Associated Press reported.
But in his ruling filed on Friday, Hellerstein said the Department of Defense failed to provide specific details of the threat.

Men's Standards Of Beauty Around The World -1GOT NEWS
An international cast of gorgeous male models shows just how drastically the physical attributes of the “ideal man” vary across 12 different countries.
It has become increasingly prevalent in entertainment, media, and advertising in recent years to focus on the beauty of the "ideal" male form. Although studies have shown that women continue to report higher numbers in regards to negative body image, the percentage of men admitting to body dissatisfaction is, shockingly, growing at a much faster rate.
It must be stated that this is nothing new to gay and bisexual men who, when compared to their straight counterparts, have historically reported higher percentages of eating disorders and generally experience more cultural and sexual pressure to come to terms with their body image, whether it be issues of weight, racial objectification and preference, or masculinity.
These concerns surrounding the "ideal" traits that make a man physically attractive, in no small part thanks to the mass media, are beginning to affect men everywhere, especially young boys. The male beauty market has reacted with exponential statistics: The number of men’s beauty products increased by more than 70% worldwide between 2012 and 2014. As of 2013, men's skin care alone was a $3.3 billion global industry.
In the simplest of conclusions, men, at least to the general public, are starting to care more about how they look and how that affects their perception of self, and it inspires a vast array of controversial discussions. This video and its accompanying study aim to put contemporary "ideal" male specimens under scrutiny, front and center, as physical representations of a massive survey, both theoretical and empirical in nature. We hope to spark a more open and important dialogue regarding men's relationships with their bodies, ethnicity, masculinity, and personal expression of beauty.

We gathered information from professional publications, entertainment, and social media to determine: how have popular culture and media shaped our views on ideal male beauty?
We focused our research on the following 12 countries: the United States, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, Turkey, Italy, the U.K., India, South Korea, the Philippines, and Australia.

We also conducted our own independent study and asked for personal insight from the most important authority on men's relationships with beauty and fashion: you.
Between BuzzFeed Video and producer Eugene Lee Yang's Facebook pages we received thousands of responses from international viewers, which served as the basis for a portion of our findings.

• "Hottest" male celebrities (as determined by our Facebook audience's responses and online popularity): Chris Evans, Channing Tatum, Chris Pratt
• Internationally, white celebrities from America were the most cited out of any country when discussing foreign influence on the male beauty ideal.
• A study from San Francisco State University found that where women struggle with media pressure to be thin, men face media pressure to be muscular.
• An American ideal male body type has a broad upper body, including shoulders, biceps, and pectoral muscles. “V-shaped” seems to be a key term.
• In recent years, the bearded, plaid-shirt-wearing look has become so popular among American (read: white) men that they have earned the nickname “lumbersexual.”
• According to the 2015 Hollywood Diversity Report, 83.3% of all lead actors in films released in 2013 were white.
• Since People magazine began naming an annual Sexiest Man Alive, only one nonwhite man has won the title: Denzel Washington, in 1996.
• The U.S. and Canada account for 9% of the global men's skin care industry.
• According to market data firm Euromonitor International, American spending on men’s grooming products has increased from $2.4 billion in 1997 to $4.8 billion in 2009.
• According to market research firm Mintel, the U.S. market for men’s personal care products earned $4.1 billion in 2014.
