The standard metaphors used to describe DNA and development are examined, including the claim that DNA "makes" protein, that DNA is "self-replicating" and the organisms "adapt" to their environments. In this lecture by distinguished evolutionary geneticist Richard Lewontin, he explains that DNA is manufactured by the cell machinery, that proteins are folded by rules that are not related to DNA sequence and that organisms, rather than adapting to their environment, are actively engaging in constructing their own environments, so that organisms and environments co-evolve.

Earth Song Lyrics What about sunrise What about rain What about all the things That you said we were to gain.. . What about killing fields Is there a time What about all the things That you said was yours and mine... Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we've shed before Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores? Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah What have we done to the world Look what we've done What about all the peace That you pledge your only son... What about flowering fields Is there a time What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine... Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don't know where we are Although I know we've drifted far Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah Hey, what about yesterday (What about us) What about the seas (What about us) The heavens are falling down (What about us) I can't even breathe (What about us) What about the bleeding Earth (What about us) Can't we feel its wounds (What about us) What about nature's worth (ooo,ooo) It's our planet's womb (What about us) What about animals (What about it) We've turned kingdoms to dust (What about us) What about elephants (What about us) Have we lost their trust (What about us) What about crying whales (What about us) We're ravaging the seas (What about us) What about forest trails (ooo, ooo) Burnt despite our pleas (What about us) What about the holy land (What about it) Torn apart by creed (What about us) What about the common man (What about us) Can't we set him free (What about us) What about children dying (What about us) Can't you hear them cry (What about us) Where did we go wrong (ooo, ooo) Someone tell me why (What about us) What about babies (What about it) What about the days (What about us) What about all their joy (What about us) What about the man (What about us) What about the crying man (What about us) What about Abraham (What was us) What about death again (ooo, ooo) Do we give a damn

Barack Obama discusses his plan for a clean energy future.
*** THIS FILM WAS MADE MY THE US GOVERMENT AND IS PUBLIC DOMAIN *** SAGE, the Semi Automatic Ground Environment, was an automated control system used by NORAD for collecting, tracking and intercepting enemy bomber aircraft from the late 1950s into the 1980s. In later versions, the system could automatically direct aircraft to an interception by sending commands directly to the aircraft's autopilot. By the time it was fully operational the Soviet bomber threat had been replaced by the Soviet missile threat, for which SAGE was entirely inadequate. Nevertheless, SAGE was tremendously important; it led to huge advances in online systems and interactive computing, real-time computing, and data communications using modems. It is generally considered to be one of the most advanced and successful large computer systems ever developed. IBM's role in SAGE (the design and manufacture of the AN/FSQ-7 computer, a vacuum tube computer with ferrite core memory based on the never-built Whirlwind II) was an important factor leading to IBM's domination of the computer industry. Background Prior to the introduction of SAGE, the task of intercepting bombers was becoming increasingly difficult. This was the latest shift in a balance of power that had been see-sawing since the 1930s. During the leadup to World War II it was widely believed that the bomber was essentially immune, at least in any practical sense. As speeds approached 200 mph the time between seeing the bomber and it reaching its targets was growing so short that there was no time for interceptor aircraft to climb to altitude. Once the bombs were released the multi-engine bombers often had a performance advantage over the fighters, allowing them to escape with relative ease. The only apparent solution to this problem would be to keep fighters in the air on-station at all times, a practical impossibility due to the short flight times of contemporary fighters. Thousands of fighters would be needed to keep enough of them in the air at any one time to defend against a raid of perhaps a hundred bombers. Most believed "the bomber will always get through". The introduction of radar seriously upset this equation. Radar gave just enough warning time for fighters to "scramble" and be at the bomber's altitude by the time they arrived. In modern terms radar is a "force multiplier", allowing a small number of fighters to handle the task that would otherwise require many more aircraft. Speeds of the aircraft of the era were such that the rest of the task of intercepting the bombers could be carried out by hand. The RAF, for instance, used a large map with markers representing various radar contacts, with controllers relaying positions and directions to the aircraft by radio. In the post-war era, the speed of the new jet-powered aircraft increased by a factor of two to three, similarly decreasing the available effective response time. In a general sense this should not have cause a problem; although the bombers were approaching much faster and gave less warning time, the fighters intercepting them were also much faster and could climb to altitude in minutes. But it was all of the other tasks that caused the problem. This included collecting information about the targets from the radar sites, figuring out where they were going (developing a track), and then guiding the fighters to intercept them. A study in the 1950s by the RCAF concluded that it would take on the order of one minute per interception. With flight times on the order of an hour by several hundred aircraft, some were bound to escape interception due to operator overload. The balance shifted toward the attackers again. With nuclear bombs onboard, this was unacceptable. The problem became even more acute if the bombers attacked at low level. Radar is line-of-sight, so by approaching close to the ground they would remain hidden behind the curvature of the Earth until approaching to within a few tens of miles. With a jet bomber this meant the defenders had only a few minutes to react, far too little time to launch an interceptor, let alone guide it to an intercept.

BBC wildlife show 'Meltdown: A Global Warming Journey' investigates the history of heat in the world and compares past temperatures of the planet to the temperature of the planet over the last 150 years. Fascinating video charting the rise in greenhouse gases and its role in the global warming Warming Journey.
This is my video answer to the 3rd question for Davos debate: "Will the environment lose out to the economy in 2009?" I try to answer this question in the most illustrative way by giving real examples. I start my videos by saying that "I am a carpenter born and raised in Ecuador, South America, but I am also a research fellow in Harvard University" This is true. When little, I had many limitations, but thanks to constant efforts, I could finish my university degree, won scholarships for masters and doctorate degrees in Canada and currently working as research fellow in Harvard University. I worked as carpenter to finance my studies. In order to participate in the contest, I had to learn how to make clips. These are actually my first videos, then for sure they have mistakes, so please, your comments and suggestions are welcome. Jose Condor
