CHINA'S BEAR BILE SHAME
Crammed into tiny cages and barbarically 'milked' for their bile, the lives of China's bile farm bears are nasty, brutish and short. Those lucky enough to be rescued from their torturous lives are left both mentally and physically broken, with a host of medical problems.
Snoopy can hear the keeper approach and she can smell the sweet dried fruit that is placed onto her tongue, but she can see neither.
For Snoopy has been left blind due to the cruel and barbaric treatment meted out to her at the hands of China's bear bile farmers.

The bile is used in traditional medicine for a range of complaints, including fever, liver disease and, ironically, sore eyes. Even bear bile tea, toothpaste and throat lozenges are on the market.
The bear inmates of these farms live a brutal life which sees up to a thousand bears at a time farmed liked battery hens, in the dark and with crude catheters forced into their abdomens to drain their bile.
This inhumane practice leaves behind disfigured bears who, if they aren't rescued by one of the bear charities working in China, spend their entire lives tormented and in pain.
Snoopy is one of a legion of endangered Moon Bears or Asiatic Black Bears who have been left disfigured by the cruel conditions they have endured.
But she is one of the lucky ones because she was rescued six years ago and re-homed at the China Bear Sanctuary i...

The Saatchi Gallery opening with 'The Revolution Continues: New Art From China' exhibition, London, Britain - 06 Oct 2008
CHINESE REVOLUTION AT SAATCHI RE-OPENING
China is leading the way once again at the re-opening of London's giant Saatchi Gallery.
After a three-year closure the gallery has re-opened its doors in a new venue with the inaugural exhibition "The Revolution Continues: New Art From China".
Featuring some 30 of China's leading young artists, the show promises to be a "cutting edge survey of recent painting, sculpture and installation."
The Gallery was evicted from its original home at the County Hall on London's Southbank in 2005 after a row with the building's owners.
Now found at the Duke of York Headquarters building in Chelsea the Gallery has 70,000 square feet (6,500 square metres) of floor space to play with.
Due to this, it claims to be the only free entry contemporary art museum of its size in the world.
One of the more unusual exhibits on display in its opening exhibition is "Old Persons' Home" by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. This satirical work features wheel-chair bound models of old people, many of whom bear some resemblance to world leaders, trundling aimlessly round the space they inhabit.
In another room sits a huge pile of fake excrement that contains hundreds of toy soldiers. By Liu Wei, "Indigestion II" has been described as "a man-sized statement of rejection... leaving no detail to the imag...

Eric Lusito - Traces of the Soviet Empire
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p8ug
These haunting photographs show the remnants of the once all-powerful Soviet empire.
They are the work of Eric Lusito, who spent six years travelling throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan to seek out remains of the military installations that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.
Describing himself as working like an archaeologist, the French photographer says his project "Traces of the Soviet Empire" is a photographic record of the land and architecture - haunted by the symbols and history of a once powerful Empire.
The on-going project takes the form of three series: exteriors, interiors, and found photographs "images from another time, another space and another world".
What he found was colourful propaganda wall art, faded frescos of Lenin, discarded gas masks, and huge monuments, including those in the shapes of a soldier and a sword.

In the 1990s, after it had been abandoned, the USA reputedly considered it as a potential site for their own military usage.

Des robots livrent des roses aux ouvriers d'une usine automobile à l'occasion de la Journée de la femme - Pictures must credit: UBTech A team of humanoid robots that have been deployed in a cat plant celebrated International Women’s Day — by presenting female workers there with roses. The Walker S1 bot by Chinese company UBTech surprised the women by moving around the plant of electric car maker Zeekr to hand out the red roses across the workplace. The AI robots , which have the power of speech, all worked autonomously in pairs with one holding basket of individually wrapped flowers while a second surprised the women by approaching and giving a compliment before handing the gift over. The deliveries came ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8. A UBTech spokesperson said: “Happy International Women’s Day! “UBTech humanoid robots Walker S1 deliver flowers to incredible women and wish all women a day filled with love, joy and empowerment.” The robot team has been working together to master complex tasks at Zeekr's Smart Factory located in the city of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China.
