Filipino artists get dirty to highlight pollution in Manila's rivers

Image
In the corner of a room in Manila, an artist dips his paintbrush into a murky mixture. As brush strokes of brown, black and grey sweep across white canvas, the paint leaves behind rough sediments on the surface, coming out as an almost gritty texture. But this isn't any ordinary paint. The mixture is composed of water samples drawn from the most polluted rivers and tributaries of the Philippines capital. The Dirty Watercolour project aims to use art to promote awareness of environmental degradation. "What better way to raise awareness than to make use of the very medium, which is of course, water," said curator Cid Reyes. The pigments - a range of black, grey, sepia, burnt sienna and brown - were taken from riverbed soil samples. They were first processed, de-contaminated and oven dried for 24 hours, before being mixed with gum arabic solution to become watercolour. "I was stunned when I first heard this idea," said JC Vargas, one of nine waterc

WatsUp TV Host Maudlyn Apologizes To Eazzy – what did she do?

Image
WatsUp TV Official Show Host Maudlyn Arday has officially issued an apology to Female Musician Eazzy Over Comment on Eazzy’s Hair Style. It seems there was a little sisterly bad blood between WatsUpTV  host Maudlyn  and musician Eazzy over a rather quirky statement made by Maudlyn on today’s show. While hosting the fresh video segment of WatsUp TV, Maudlyn ironically  stated that Eazzy has a very weird hairstyle that she(Maudlyn) loves. The TV host passed this comment when she was introducing Eazzy’s video “Nana” which features Stone Bwuoy. According to sources close to the Kpakpo Shito singer, this statement made by Maudlyn did not boil down well with the singer and her camp. However, in an attempt to avoid any celebrity rampage, Maudlyn quickly took to her twitter page to officially issue an apology to Eazzy over her comment, just to let sleeping dogs lie.

Image
Mzbel is concerned that there is something wrong with Bukom Banku. In a Facebook post, she has asked what went wrong with Bukom Banku’s life as she shared a photo of her presenting as award to the boxer at a Sports Awards show. For a while now, most Ghanaians have expressed their concerns over how the boxer is bleaching. Renowned Dermatologist.

Barack Obama’s Car, ‘the Beast’ Limo Breaks Down in Israel

Image
The hulking vehicle, nicknamed “the Beast” for its supposed robustness in the face of potential attacks, juddered to a halt on the motorway between Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport and Jerusalem. An Israeli government official said the car may have broke down after it was mistakenly filled with diesel fuel rather than petrol. There was also a suggestion it had run out of fuel, he said. The Secret Service said it did not yet know what had caused the breakdown, and the driver of a tow-truck called to remove the car said he did not know if a fuel mix-up was behind the incident. Fortunately for the president, the breakdown happened two hours before his plane, Air Force One, touched down on Israeli soil, sparing him the embarrassment of a possible incident after his arrival in the Holy Land. Mr Obama travelled from the airport to Jerusalem by helicopter as scheduled. The car, which was intended to transport him around Jerusalem, was being replaced by a substitute limousine being driven
