01:29 Keven Heuer by Dee Dee Halleck. Halleck interviews 19-year-old U.S. Marine Keven Heuer while in a plane taking him to the Persian Gulf. ""I'm going over there. I may die. You have to prepare yourself for that."" 02:47 ""A Matter of Conscience"" by John Luvender. Bill Short is a Vietnam veteran who collects oral histories and photographs of people who resisted the war, like he eventually did. ""Part of me carries some guilt for not having fulfilled my sense of duty...I felt my youth had been stolen from me...I think the greatest strength about this country is we have that freedom of conscience. I think one of the things our project does is it fills a void in the historical perspective. It's important we have a complete understanding of that war so that we know if we get into war again the reasons are clear. The greatest disservice we can do to future generations is be quiet about what the war is really about."" 12:54 More from Keven Heuer. Heuer casts gloom on the Persian Gulf crisis: ""I don't think they'll use nuclear weapons except as a last resort. If Saudi Arabia wants to use chemical warfare, as we know they are well capable of doing, we'd have no other choice but to use nuclear weapons."" 13:29 ""Viva Futbolito"" by Robbie Leppzer/Turning Tide Productions. A profile of a group called ""Footbaggers for Peace"" who use footbag as means to bridge relations with the people of Central America. ""The young people in [The U.S.] are playing footbag, enjoying footbag, so it symbolizes what is hip, what's cool and fun, what's in style; yet it also ties into this historical love of foot games that the Central Americans have. The footbag is quite incidental to what we're doing. It happens to be a good median to break the ice. What we're doing here is planting seeds for an alternative relationship between Gringos and Central Americans. It gives me hope that common citizens can do something."" 28:10 ""Malvin Hobley"" by Jimmy Sternfield. In Denver, Malvin Hobley, an African-American in his early twenties, warns against getting involved in gangs. ""We have so much negative looking at the black male. Anything that happens, either a black male did it or it's gang related. You know it's not true. I know it's not true. What the media needs to do is get on the hype tip and find out what's getting these young boys and these young girls into this gang business. If they wanted to stop it, it would have been stopped by now. It's just a way of getting us to go against each other. It makes the job easier for them if you know what I'm talking about. There's a better way we can go."" 30:14 ""Tortilla"" by Turning Tide Productions. Guatemalan women make tortillas. 31:22 More from Keven Heuer. ""My job is to go out and report the size, activities, weapons, vehicles, things that nature to the battalion. We will be behind enemy lines before the actual combat would happen."" 31:53 Leslie Marie Watson of Amnesty International at Louisiana State University comments on ""the strong and broad-based"" antiwar sentiment throughout the nation and the need to channel that sentiment into a persuasive ""no blood for oil"" message to President Bush and Congress. 32:48 ""The Party's Over"" by Steve Schecter. Juxtaposed with music from Moscow street musicians, scenes from protests during the 28th Congress of the Communist Party reflect the new freedom of expression allowed in the USSR. An ex-KBG leader and current populist hero due to his criticism of that agency addresses a crowd. ""The U.S. influenced me not by it's materialist wealth, but it influenced me as I saw the black population in the '60s rise for their rights and achieve justice for at least a large part of their people."" 43:58 ""Swords Into Plowshares"" by Terry Moyemont. In Vizari, Crete, a blacksmith makes a plow, then watches video of himself at work, prompting shots of ouzo for everyone. 46:05 More from ""Kevin Heuer."" ""The Philippines cannot survive without our military bases there. The communists don't want us there. When our lease is up they may try to stir something up. If they do it could be a real hairy situation over there."" 50:36 ""North Korea 1990: A Quick Trip"" by Andrew Jones. An impressionistic, and one-sided look at Korea highlighted by U.S. atrocities during the Korean War. 56:03 ""Todd Alcott"" by Skip Blumberg. The 90's regular Todd Alcott rants: ""The end of the world. I'm awake, I'm alive. That's why the end of the world hasn't come yet. I'm breathing. If I inhale and exhale I can keep the world from ending... I don't mind doing it for people. I consider it a service."" 57:28 ""Moscow Violin"" by Skip Blumberg. A woman holds the bow while a violinist plays as end credits roll.

The facility employs direct air capture (DAC) technology to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Unlike traditional carbon capture methods that focus on capturing emissions from industrial sources to prevent new emissions from entering the atmosphere, DAC enables permanent carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The facility uses specialised filters to extract carbon dioxide from the air. Once captured, the carbon dioxide is concentrated and purified to ensure it is suitable for storage deep underground. This process consists of several filtration and separation steps to eliminate impurities and increase the carbon dioxide concentration. DAC is expected to play a crucial role in mitigating global warming.

Sound Bite: Ben Affleck – on politics now I think that you know we have pretty good leadership right now in Washington right now but uhm but we have a very serious crisis and that uh we need to be re-highly responsive particularly to the banking crisis, I think the banks are uhm we gotta fix the banks or nothing is going to work. And I think uh you know hopefully we’ll find a way to do it in a bipartisan way but I think the issue is to to get it done and you know it’s a very dangerous scary time and it may either producer some you know political heroics or or uhm opportunities may be lost but we’re also, the countries really changing you know our place in the world globally is changing, there’s a huge amount of uncertainty about whether we’ll really be able to return to this kind of preeminence or whether this marks C Change in the position of the United States. You know whether it means that you know we’re bobbing and floating on global, this sort of tides on the global markets more than dominating them you know and uh in the same way that this marks a time when the newspapers shift away. So its very uncertain, its not a time where you can just sort of like stay the course you know but its exciting in that you know we may be able to make some real improvements to people lives through Washington that hasn’t happened in a long time.

Made in the 1950s by the March of Dimes, REMEMBER ME is a poignant reminder of the polio crisis that gripped the United States in the 20th Century. Made just after the Salk vaccine had been developed, the film attempts to remind the audience of the suffering of infantile paralysis victims, and continue to fund the fight against the disease. It also encourages the audience to respect the abilities of these children and adults and not their disabilities. At 1;44, a man is seen typing with his toes. At 2:00, empty summer camps and swimming pools are seen in the wake of a 1955 outbreak. At 2:30 a shopping center is seen, its parking lot empty because of the outbreak. At 3:00, a polio victim arrives at a hospital. At 3:25, a hospital in Boston is seen, with young patients in the hospital. At 4:00, a hospital in Wisconsin is seen with many child patients. At 4:30, an extremely weak adult victim is shown, and at 5:20 the crutches and braces used for treating deformed victims are shown. At 5:50, a patient immobilized in a cast is seen. At 6:10 children are shown being treated in iron lungs with round-the-clock nursing care. The film ends with the reminder -- polio is not over. <p><p>Two vaccines are used throughout the world to combat polio. The first was developed by Jonas Salk, first tested in 1952, and announced to the world by Salk on April 12, 1955. The Salk vaccine, or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), consists of an injected dose of killed poliovirus. In 1954, the vaccine was tested for its ability to prevent polio; the field trials involving the Salk vaccine would grow to be the largest medical experiment in history. Immediately following licensing, vaccination campaigns were launched, by 1957, following mass immunizations promoted by the March of Dimes the annual number of polio cases in the United States would be dramatically reduced, from a peak of nearly 58,000 cases, to just 5,600 cases.<p><p>Eight years after Salk's success, Albert Sabin developed an oral polio vaccine (OPV) using live but weakened (attenuated) virus.[58] Human trials of Sabin's vaccine began in 1957 and it was licensed in 1962. Following the development of oral polio vaccine, a second wave of mass immunizations would lead to a further decline in the number of cases: by 1961, only 161 cases were recorded in the United States. The last cases of paralytic poliomyelitis caused by endemic transmission of poliovirus in the United States were in 1979, when an outbreak occurred among the Amish in several Midwestern states.<p><p>Poliomyelitis was first recognized as a distinct condition by Jakob Heine in 1840. Its causative agent, poliovirus, was identified in 1908 by Karl Landsteiner. Polio had existed for thousands of years in certain areas, with depictions of the disease in ancient art. Major polio epidemics started to appear in the late 19th century in Europe and soon after the United States, and it became one of the most dreaded childhood diseases of the 20th century. The epidemics are attributed to better sanitation which reduced the prevalence of the disease among young children who were more likely to be asymptomatic. Survivors then develop immunity. By 1910, much of the world experienced a dramatic increase in polio cases and epidemics became regular events, primarily in cities during the summer months. These epidemics—which left thousands of children and adults paralyzed—provided the impetus for a "Great Race" towards the development of a vaccine. Developed in the 1950s, polio vaccines have reduced the global number of polio cases per year from many hundreds of thousands to under a thousand today. Enhanced vaccination efforts led by Rotary International, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF should result in global eradication of the disease, although in 2013 there were reports by the World Health Organization of new cases in Syria.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
