The ASACP Foundation has announced that it can now accept car donations through the Cars 4 Causes program.
Cars 4 Causes originated as a charity to benefit youth education and has developed into a network of charities that allows the donor to choose a charity to direct 70 percent of the net sale amount to. The remainder goes to Cars 4 Causes charity supported programs.
“A number of people asked us if they could donate cars and use it as a charitable tax-deductible gift,” ASACP CEO Joan Irvine said. “After much research, the ASACP Foundation decided that Cars 4 Causes was a good fit since both charities help children. We are honored to have accepted into their program.”
The ASACP Foundation operates the ASACP child pornography reporting hotline and the Restricted to Adults - RTA Website Label. Along with ASACP, the two separate organizations work together in order to do a broad range of work in protecting children online.
“Donations to the Foundation will help us to continue our online child protection efforts, while expanding our online safety educational efforts,” Irvine said. “So I ask that if you have a car you are not using, please donate it to the Cars 4 Causes® for the ASACP Foundation.”
Contributions to the ASACP Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, one can donate Here
Jobs in the sex industry which could lead to exploitation will be banned from being advertised in Jobcentres, the Government has announced.
Employment Minister Chris Grayling said the ban, which will come in with immediate effect, will cover jobs such as lap dancers and strippers.
He said the move was aimed at protecting jobseekers from feeling they have to consider work they weren't comfortable with.
Mr Grayling said: "It's absolutely wrong that the Government advertises jobs that could support the exploitation of people. We've taken immediate action today to stop certain adult entertainment vacancies from being advertised through Jobcentre Plus.
"We shouldn't put vulnerable people in an environment where they're exposed to these types of jobs and could feel under pressure to work in the sex industry."
Jobcentres will no longer advertise jobs that involve the "direct sexual stimulation" of others because publicly funded services should not be a conduit to this work, said the minister.
Other jobs in the industry, such as cleaners or retail posts, will still be advertised.
The ban follows a public consultation that revealed significant public concern about Jobcentre Plus advertising jobs in the sex industry.
The consultation also revealed that the people who worked in the sex industry could be vulnerable to harassment and discrimination.
It's a golden rule of technology: Invent something, then wait for the porn industry to find ways to cash in.
Just weeks after the launch of the iPhone 4 and its FaceTime video-conference feature, two-way sex chat services geared toward consenting adults are already in the works.
David Carroll, Assistant Professor of Media Design Parsons College, says, "The track record on this shouldn't surprise anyone."
Indeed, Internet porn companies were some of the first to make wide use of streaming video and online credit card payments.
Back in the 1970's the demand for explicit videos at home helped VCR's become widespread.
Carroll adds, "In regards to some of the innovations on the internet we've seen the sex business industry be the first to experiment with new technologies and in a way be the first to prove they're viable."
For the adult entertainment industry, FaceTime could be a game changer. And it's happening quickly. Help wanted ads on craigslist are seeking out models specifically for FaceTime sex chats.
Matt Morningwood, an adult film director - producer - PinkVisuals says, "We've really had to change our business mode. What we've latched on to is the emerging technologies, the mobile market, any new device that comes out that people can consume our product on, we try to make sure we're the first company that has stuff that works for it."
PinkVisuals is just one company developing product for the phone. Adam & Eve contract star, Teagan Presley is considering using FaceTime video chats as well.
Teagan Presley, says, "you know the same reason why the guys go to the clubs to feature dance. Same reason why they go to the conventions to meet them in person, I think it actually strengthens the relationship between the star and the fan."
Porn services designed for the iPhone puts Apple in an awkward position.
The company promotes FaceTime as a wholesome use of technology and has stated that no porn is allowed in the app store.
But FaceTime isn't an app, it's technology built right into the phone. In the wrong hands, however, it could create problems for businesses.
Mark Rasch, Director of Cybersecurity says," it creates some liability to the phone manufacturers as well as to the carriers because they're now being used as a mechanism to distribute pornography. Under federal law those kind of entities now have a duty to police and report child pornography that they see."
And while FaceTime could be a moneymaker for the adult industry, Presley says in its current form there are limitations to its use that will have to be improved.
Teagan Presley says, "when you're webcamming, ultimately when you do it at home on a computer you can bend the camera and get the full picture the full ambiance of the background, whether you decorate the room. With FaceTime, because the camera is so small and it's on the iphone, you can only get one part of your body. You can only get your face or your arm or your chest."
But it may be just a matter of time for the adult industry to work out the kinks, and bring FaceTime to prime time.

China has ordered police to show more respect for the rights of criminal suspects following controversy over cases in which prostitutes were paraded in public, state media reported Tuesday.
The order was contained in a circular issued nationwide by the Ministry of Public Security and was prompted by the recent vice cases, the China Daily reported.
Although illegal in China, prostitution is widespread and police have periodically used tough means such as parading prostitutes in public as a deterrent.
However, recent cases have sparked outrage on the Chinese Internet -- the country's main forum for public expression in a tightly controlled media environment -- amid dawning recognition of right-to-privacy issues.
Earlier this month, local media in the city of Dongguan in southern China's Guangdong province published pictures of two suspected prostitutes and two patrons who had been detained by police.
The handcuffed girls were shown walking in their bare feet, tethered by a rope around their waists.
In another case this month, police in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei province, posted a public notice about a vice raid, including personal information about prostitutes and their clients, reports said.
The cases sparked protests on Internet blogs by web users angry over the harsh methods.
