Starving dog exhibit reported as a hoax - Art Talk Nashville | Google Groups - 0 views

  • It has now emerged, however, that artist Guillermo Habacuc Vargas   intended the work to be a stunt to show how a starving dog suddenly   becomes the centre of attention when it is in a gallery, but not when   it is on the street. The work was intended to expose people for what   they really are - "hyprocritical sheep". He said that in order for   the work to be valid, he and the gallery had to give the impression   that the dog was genuinely starving to death and that it died.

Ink & Mess: Starving Dog as Art - Gallery confirms exhibition as hoax - 0 views

  • Back in October 2007 Costa Rican artist Guillermo 'Habacuc' Vargas "paid some children to chase and catch a stray dog, after which he chained up the poor animal in a gallery, telling the viewing public not to feed or water it". Allegedly bowls of water and food were placed near the dog but alas, both items were just out of the its reach. On the wall above the dog the phrase "Eres Lo Que Lees" (translates as "You Are What You Read") was written in dog biscuits. The outcome of the exhibitiOn was that "the dog slowly starved to death and eventually died in the gallery in view of everyOne".

  • Hong Kong has one of the highest population densities in the world—more than 6,350 persons per km2 (more than 16,400 per mi2). Roughly 98% of the population of 6,940,432 (2006 est.) are Chinese; the majority of them have their family origins in Guangdong province. There are also significant numbers of Europeans and Americans, Filipinos (mostly domestic servants), and Indians and Pakistanis. About 60,000 Hong Kong residents emigrate each year, mainly to North America or Australia. This outflow is more than counterbalanced by legal and illegal immigration from China.

Arsenic - 0 views

  • Exposure to arsenic can occur from the environment and food consumption
  • Arsenic contamination of groundwater has led to a massive epidemic of arsenic poisoning in Bangladesh[32] and neighbouring countries.
  • Presently 42 major incidents around the world have been reported on groundwater arsenic contamination. It is estimated that approximately 57 million people are drinking groundwater with arsenic concentrations elevated above the World Health Organization's standard of 10 parts per billion. However, a study of cancer rates in Taiwan [33] suggested that significant increases in cancer mortality appear only at levels above 150 parts per billion. The arsenic in the groundwater is of natural origin, and is released from the sediment into the groundwater due to the anoxic conditions of the subsurface.

Thompson Gale - ASL - 0 views

LA Biz Observed: Why stocks are really going down - 0 views

  • They have seized upon a fairly bad situation: a stunning number of defaults and foreclosures in the subprime arena, although just a small part of the total financial picture of the United States. They have then tried — with the collaboration of their advance guards in the press — to make it seem like a total catastrophe so they could make money on their short sales. They sense an opportunity to trick other traders and poor retail slobs like you and me, and they generate data and rumor to support their positions, and to make money. More than that, they trade to support the way they want the market to go. If they are huge traders like some of the major hedge funds, they can sell massively and move the market downward, then suck in other traders who go short, and create a vacuum of fear that sucks down whatever they are selling.
