El 1ro de octubre señala el 50° aniversario del comienzo del genocidio en Indonesia de 1965, el cual dejó un saldo de más de un millón de personas asesinadas. Algunos grupos que bregan por los derechos humanos han hecho circular peticiones que demandan que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos reconozca su participación en dicho genocidio y que dé a conocer los registros militares, gubernamentales y de la CIA en relación al exterminio en masa. Los Estados Unidos proveyeron a la Armada indonesia de apoyo económico, militar y de inteligencia en aquel momento. Actualmente, podemos observar la búsqueda de un hombre indonesio que confronta a los asesinos de su hermano. En 1965, el hermano mayor de Adi Rukun fue asesinado por el Comando ANSI, una organización paramilitar en Aceh. El propósito de Adi Rukun constituye el foco del nuevo documental de Joshua Oppenheimer, The Look of Silence. En 2012, Oppenheimer estrenó un film independiente titulado The Act of Killing, en el cual entrevistaba a los jefes de bandas de aniquilamiento indonesios y trabajaba junto a ellos para dramatizar los asesinatos ocurridos en la vida real. El film fue nominado a un Premio de la Academia. Transcripción La presente es una transcripción de último momento. Esta copia podría no ser la versión final.

Faced with the health and financial toll from escalating rates of chronic disease, consumers are demanding healthier food products and increased transparency regarding the ingredients in their food. Food labels provide the primary means for businesses to communicate with customers about their food products. In response to consumer demand, food companies are stocking grocery store shelves with products claiming to be wholesome, "natural" and healthy. Yet, many of these products are not as healthy or natural as purported. Although both consumers and food manufacturers place importance on the term "natural," the Food and Drug Administration has refused to define the term. In the absence of a legally enforceable definition, there has been a rise in class action litigation against allegedly mislabeled "all natural" food products. This Note evaluates the impact of the courts, rather than the FDA, on the interpretation of food-labeling laws. The Note discusses the confusion among courts over whether primary jurisdiction should apply and litigation should be stayed due to possible agency action. This Note goes on to analyze the results of the FDA's public comment process initiated in May 2016 to determine whether the agency should define the term "natural." Finally, this Note explores how and why the FDA, not the courts or legislature, should define the term "natural."

"The Meaty Truth is an eye-opening look at the massive problems caused by the American population's food supply. Water, meat, and milk and other dairy products are filled with toxins, antibiotics, untested growth hormones, ammonia, and animal pus and manure. The current conditions of the food production industry must drastically improve, and until they do, it is absolutely vital to monitor what you eat. Castle and Goodman take a hard-hitting look at what America is putting into its food, the negative effects this has on the world, and the best ways to make healthy, informed decisions about eating. As the antibiotic age ends, the rise of pandemic diseases is approaching. Approximately half of the illnesses that claim American lives today are related to what we eat, and our health-care system is focused on treating the sick, not preventing illnesses from occurring. To fix our health problems, to continue feeding the world's ever-growing population, and to save our planet from ecological destruction, we can no longer avoid making changes to how American meat and dairy are produced. This guide is easy to read, applicable to anyone's lifestyle, and impossible to put down. "--

"A celebration of the acclaimed television and radio news program Democracy Now! and the extraordinary movements and heroes who have moved our democracy forward. In 1996 Amy Goodman began hosting a show on Pacifica Radio called Democracy Now! to focus on the issues and movements that are too often ignored by the corporate media. Today Democracy Now! is the largest public media collaboration in the US, broadcasting on over 1,400 public television and radio stations around the world, with millions accessing it online at DemocracyNow.org. Now Amy, along with her journalist brother, David, and co-author Denis Moynihan, share stories of the heroes -- the whistleblowers, the organizers, the protesters -- who have brought about remarkable change. This important book looks back over the past two decades of Democracy Now! and the powerful movements and charismatic leaders who are re-shaping our world. Goodman takes the reader along as she goes to where the silence is, bringing out voices from the streets of Ferguson to Staten Island, Wall Street, South Carolina to East Timor -- and other places where people are rising up to demand justice. Democracy Now! is the modern day underground railroad of information, bringing stories from the grassroots to a global audience."--
