Diarrhea After Eating Absorb Calories

Communication in the center of the debate


By Francis Pisani


In this digital age where everyone can inform ethics could become the ultimate value added by professional journalists.

This is the discussion that is taking place to mark the 15th anniversary of the Foundation for New Latin American Journalism, created by Colombian Gabriel García Márquez in Cartagena de Indias.

immutable necessarily adapt to new circumstances of the digital age. The big challenge is to understand to what extent and how to adapt.

shafts that have governed the foundation have been the narrative quality, commitment to research and ethical rigor. This last imperative is customized from the start by the maestro Javier Darío Restrepo and ethical practice, which responds to the doubts and questions of journalists from Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. Not that anyone stop the truth, also specifies that" the truth is never absolute. This is an internal dynamic and intellectual is to look for and offer what is, by subjecting it to criticism and review, "he said.
social responsibility, according to Restrepo, is based on the fact that "the sole master of the journalist is the reader" to whom the information is intended to make it useful. Quoting the code memory of the Latin American Press Association, said those reports have to be aware of the power they hold and never forget that the damage can be inflicted never fully repaired.

Independence, of course, is "the condition of freedom." Involves "breaking the dependency in relation to all kinds of power: political, economic, religious, military hierarchy within the organization, but also against the sources of fear and arrogance of the journalist," according to Restrepo.

For Jaime Abello, director of the FNPI, "Today anyone can report and use a variety of means. What distinguishes us is the ethics. " To this, Joaquín Estefanía, director of the School of Journalism Universidad Autonoma de Madrid / El Pais, said: "And the procedures," citing the verification and always rely on at least two different sources on the act to which it alludes.

The challenge lies in applying these principles, these procedures, in the digital age. There are some who say that what confronts today has emerged from one way or another yesterday. Although in some cases be true, which always changes the scale at which problems arise.

Many elements, while not totally new, fit in this category. We mention the ability to disguise or conceal the identity and make changes to documents (digital) and the ease of plagiarism due to "copy and paste" so elementary in the network. The spreading of rumors can take proportions rarely experienced before, and the ability to do harm. Journalists are very sensitive, particularly to the marked difficulty in identifying the sources.

But beyond these trivial issues, to highlight five challenges seem particularly relevant.

monopoly loss of proprietary information of journalists and audience participation of the former when there is or there are no journalists. As witnesses and analysts.

real-time coverage. Pressure increases the speed, which has its origins in economic competition between media.

Too much information or, rather, the information asymmetry, and the fact that today is almost as difficult to find public information of value, as revealing that you want to keep hidden.

New forms of manipulation and control by the powerful, whose scope is also the use of ICT.

The opportunity involves transparency, which has come to be called a possible "new objectivity" (David Weinberger).

There are two ways (at least) to address the issue of journalistic ethics in a digital age. The first characteristic of an Foundation and journalists, is to ask how to adapt to this was to preserve the immutable values \u200b\u200bof the trade. The second-

nothing inconsistent with the first-lies in opening the floor for ethical reflection and procedures journalists are subject of meditation and a tool for all those who report.

It follows the central question: How to spread or expand the impact of procedures and of journalistic ethics to improve the flow of information?

Tiffany Bracelet Can I Take A Shower With

gold does not shine at the academy


The organization known for its leading brands complaints against trafficking, forced labor and slave labor



Valley

By Manuel Gustavo arrives on his motorcycle dilapidated red-faced from the cold. Barely raining outside, in "La Alameda" young reading and four other people talk. All of them may have been wet in early 2002 when he began to gather in front, below the ombú, for a soup kitchen and give fight to the crisis. "Obviously it was a meeting of depositors because here no one had a handle, the problem had to do with hunger, unemployment and the inability to pay services "Vera recalled in minutes, when you sit on the edge of the window.
La Fundación "La Alameda" which began as a popular assembly on 19 and December 20, 2001, is located in the neighborhood of Parque Avellaneda, on the corner of Avenue Lacarra and Directory. There, where until 1998 there was a bar / cafe, a dining room now works for 120 people, a textile cooperative, an area of \u200b\u200blegal work and courses for workers of all kinds, including educational support for children. Gustavo Vera, a teacher at School No. 10 Villa Lugano and militant unionist, is the president of the assembly which he describes as "painted cardboard" clear that decisions are made collectively
the media, "La Alameda" and Vera gave her jump to the continuing popularity clothing brands complaint against the use of slave employment workshops to enrich themselves. On its website (http://laalameda.wordpress.com/) report as perpetrators of this crime among the 85 brands found Kosiuko, Montagne, Mimo, Adidas, Puma, Topper, among the best known. However, despite marking time before they came, the issue took real impact after the March 30, 2006 when, after a fire in a textile workshop in Caballito, six people died Bolivian nationality (five of them minors).
develop criminal cases filed against the marks? "The legal processes are very slow for two reasons. First, because the Federal Court ordered that all I had to do with slaves workshops focus on a single trial, for which there is not enough staff to work seriously on this number of causes. Second, the judge who was in charge of the mega Oyarbide cause was that the year 1997 and 1998 had been accused of complicity with trafficking of Dominican women who had been brought for sexual exploitation. The result: they are processed and trial oral workshop owners but not the brands that benefited economically from this. Usually listed as owners who are nominees of the marks "

Why this situation exists in the country of slavery? "is a phenomenon that is occurring worldwide. It has to do with the trend towards globalization. When the Soviet Union fell and broke the old balance of power, capitalism spread rapidly across the globe, does impose a neoliberal policy-depth shrinks states, controls, flexible borders and allows people to use the big capitalists vulnerable in order to maximize profits and avoid having to punish more flexible labor laws. So apply a de facto labor flexibility by entire populations to return to situations of slavery. "


The old bar enter northern accent people, men and women textile workers. Still sitting on the edge of the window Vera continues to vest jacket that brought because of the street, although in warm weather. In the same tables in the dining area, Bolivian workers were encouraged to break the silence and tell the condition of trafficking, trafficking and exploitation. From that moment on The Alameda began to follow a path which would take as an organization not only to leave the neighborhood level, but also engage in other branches.

"If you begin to explore the circuit and trafficking, and began to investigate the border (Villazón, Yacuiba and the Triple Frontera) inevitably you run into all sorts of crimes that occur simultaneously. For the same corridors pass the garment, which will work to the building, pass the girls tricked into prostitution, leading mules passed Falopa, pass all. "

What is the origin of the victims?

"The population is the same that is highly vulnerable places, extreme structural poverty, unemployment in absolute terms, lack of basic services, which can easily fall prey to any false promises of good passing. In general, you basically have to do with trafficking for labor exploitation to come from Bolivia, Paraguay, north of the country and to a lesser extent in Peru. Trafficking for sexual exploitation mainly to Paraguay and northern parts of the country. In these cases the uptake occurs not only through deception, but also with types of kidnapping. "


Vera says "The Alameda" is people power. Believes that in some particular cases people feel that "the state does not give a fuck" (SIC) and the organization itself. Think that's why many people turn to them to make complaints. At this point compared to the Foundation with the Union of Unemployed Workers in General Mosconi. "Obviously, saving ratios and taking into account that we were in urban area," explains the teacher who believes in Salta experience is an example to follow.
But despite being in the metropolis, surrounded by cement and no more green than the same Parque Avellaneda, "La Alameda" takes as its own problem forced and slave labor on farms. Earlier this year, after being alerted by Ajero, conducted an investigation that ended with hidden cameras a complaint with the Department of Labor's Office with relentless evidence of child labor in an establishment in the province of Mendoza.

"For the garlic and onion still have not found appropriate technology to take out of the earth without any marking. That hurts exports, because if you have a lot of the time you entered and checked, when you are exporting is in bad shape. Then they need a pickup that is a small and delicate instrument. Had no better idea to use pibitos 4, 8 or 10 years for this. Same with the egg collection. A delicate hand will not break eggs, carefully done "

what extent does farm work with the textile conflict and sexual exploitation?

"In the form of collection is the same: vulnerable people through deception. Many of these people are recruited in parks or on street corners to take them to work in the vine, onions, garlic or pumpkin, for example. There is a productivity payment given to the family group, that is such a family has to get as much of onion or garlic. The top of productivity to be arriving calls have to be working the whole family involved. Finally paid a pittance. "

What responsibility does the state?

"He is deeply involved in cases of bribery, both where recruiting victims and where they bring and exploit, through the lack of controls, through bribery in the police stations of the gendarmerie at the borders, through inspective bodies of the state, through various ways. Among the brothels and the police is a close bond. There Commissioners brothel owners, this is what makes it so difficult to rescue victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation. "

The struggle is unequal. Both Vera and others in "La Alameda" know they are a small agency into a great unit. On the road have already suffered 15 attacks and offers of parties for co-opting politicians. "We started asking them all out. Throw them all out for us there was a change of figures was a system change that would end this exploitation, with this corruption with this society of slaves and excluded "Vera explains in a tone of political discourse and sentence, recalling the times home, quite seriously: "For me 2001 was something spectacular because it was the possibility of military power around the house." Outside

and dark and still raining, in a few people gathered. Gustavo is to the edge of the window but not removed his vest. In a meeting start time of the day.

A Letter For Leaving Rent



The other day (24/03/2010) I was listening on the news the conclusions of a report that had made the Equality Authority and the Ministry of Interior on the fight against prostitution rings, precisely at the moment I am engaged in research on prostitution and violence against women. I had a bitter aftertaste and not the news itself, but because for some time I hope to hear from the Ministry of Equality relating to education.
I can only continue to amaze me the lack of resources, will, knowledge, or whatever, both the decision makers as they advise.
What do you want me to say? Each day that passes I have a deeper sense of missed opportunity.
being systematically violated "Comprehensive Law" which requires structural measures against gender violence in the education system, and no wonder. That there remain tremendous ignorance about the problems facing "the woman" in the world, in general, and in this society, in particular, no wonder. Through ignorance, neglect, interest, etc., are allowed to continually undermines the dignity of women by priests, dark-of-hands-long, blessed-ignorant-of-moral-tyrannical political-idolaters-of-neurons-easy, etc. , I can not wait. But living in 2010 has not taken the decision to act on the education system as part of an essential strategy against gender violence ... that I still do not understand.
But let's see, it's cheap, they can provide a lot of favorable publicity and can do enormous good. What more do you want?
Yes, I know that I will say that the Ministry of Equality has launched Irene awards, the Institute for Women in the Region of Murcia has hired (Not sure by how much) the agenda of the "Mask of Love", and I say no than good deeds: a lack of bread ... but the truth is that these measures are not enough and also have an effect advertising more educational. It is as if our authorities have exhausted all their financial and intellectual resources in advertising, as the recent red card. A simple comentgario it up: This campaign, like many others, seem to me absolutely immoral. Sorry, but true. We are talking about a very grave phenomenon, which does not refer, which is based on a value system untouchable also became more radical in certain positions y, sin embargo, seguimos tratándolo publicitariamente, como si de la venta de un produto se tratara, un p`roducto que ni tan siquiera tiene demanda, porque nuestras autoridades ¿competenes? no han sabido crear dicha demanda. Pero lo peor de todo es que dentro de una generación seguiremos así.
Soy consciente de que con estas palabras no gano adeptos, pero les aseguro a las autoridades competentes que a la hora de intervenir en educación, y si se quiere ser efectivo, se debe desarrollar una estrategia que se expanda por toda la estructura del propi sistema.
Los pasos son muy claros:
1. Contar con un programa integral de intervención que abarque todas las dimensiones cotidianas del quehacer educativo: tutorías, extracurricular activities, course content, and taking into account the reality of the IES.
2. That the issue of equality between "gender" empowerment of women and domestic violence is not treated cross, but nuclear.
3. Which has a program of teacher training, as it is very important to know what is being said.
Take some examples from the courses that I give to teachers, policemen, college students (Master of Gender) ...
a) The vast majority think that the Comprehensive Law is unjust, but they know nothing about that law.
b) The vast majority of women consider takes advantage of this law, "radical feminism tax" to "crush" the man, false allegations, separation benefits, personal vendettas ...
c) The vast majority have a complete ignorance of what is violence against women from cultural and social perspective.
d) The vast majority hold some value systems of domination and subordination of the feminine versus masculine and are not aware of it.
And this applies to both women and men, both young and not so young.
e) The vast majority is in favor of "equality" between women and men, but still maintain the traditional values \u200b\u200bassociated the relationship between masculinity and femininity, women's subordination to man respectively.
d) Etc.
4. Introduce these programs in schools with external and internal.
Do not leave the development of this program solely at the discretion of teachers in the school. We can not be forgotten that a school is not a "society" ideal, but a reflection of real society and is not surprising that most of them are not even see violence against women as a social problem much less cultural.
5. Enter all these strategies, content, etc.. in the training of future teachers through the corresponding master.
But, please, make sure that this will truly bring out qualified personnel, there is, but unfortunately the opposite is also abundant, those who exploit the situation for profit, academic, economic, etc., and, unfortunately, are the most out in the photo.

continue in the same place and it seems that for long.
A greeting.
