| Bodies: The Exhibition ABC's 20/20 (Part 1) |
 |
A controversial public display featuring
plastified human mummification has sparked
quite a bit of controversy in the United
States. This came after ABC's 20/20 aired a
report on 02/15/08 regarding the possibility
of them being bought off the black market
rather than being donated by the families for
public display.
Whether or not the plastic mummies displayed
in "Bodies: The Exhibition" were processed
and are being displayed without consent is
under investigation. ABC did, however, show
some convincing evidence that the cadavers
did not seem to come from an accredited
institution. They also showed how a loophole
was exploited to get the mummies quickly
passed through customs. Judge for yourself.
Kind of reminds me of that old movie, The
House of Wax. Kind of creepy to see something
like that done in real life, huh? I do wonder
why they are all done up in athletic poses,
though.
China's government has come under scrutiny
for the persecution and alleged torture of
falun gung practitioners while citing
political dissonance as a reason for it's
outlaw in that country. It is also sometimes
reported that unidentified bodies are found
along some roads in rural parts of the
country though I have never really seen the
likes of this other than in videos from the
usual small bits of middle east war footage
that's taken from the ground or after a
natural disaster such as a tsunami.

"Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after
she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp
in the Green Zone, the company put her under
guard in a shipping container with a bed and
warned her that if she left Iraq for medical
treatment, she'd be out of a job.
"Don't plan on working back in Iraq. There
won't be a position here, and there won't be
a position in Houston," Jones says she was
told.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court against
Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR,
Jones says she was held in the shipping
container for at least 24 hours without food
or water by KBR, which posted armed security
guards outside her door, who would not let
her leave. "

| 20% renewable energy by 2020 |
 |
Raising the share of renewable energy from
8.5% to 20% in the overall energy consumption
is a necessary contribution to the global
fight against climate change and towards
better control over our energy dependence.
The various uses of renewable energy are
examined: electricity through wind and
hydraulic energies; electricity or heat
through geothermal and solar energies;
electricity, heat, and biofuel coming from
biomass. The EU is a world leader in the use
and deployment of technologies that exploit
renewable energy sources, providing over
350.000 jobs and an annual turn-over of €
30 billion.
