Metal Fatigue

In a dystopic world after nuclear war, the American city of Kennedy has walled itself off from the decline of the former USA. Determined to continue as a functioning metropolis, Kennedy strictly patrols its boundaries and struggles to maintain the semblance of a modern city. Now, 40 years after the end of the war, Kennedy is in crisis. Technologies are failing and replacements and repairs are not forthcoming. It is within this atmosphere of technological and social stagnation that news of a Re-United States of America emerges - a RUSA that wants Kennedy to rejoin. 

The role of rivers and streams in the environment is the topic in this episode from the Bill Nye the Science Guy series. Bill Nye reveals how and where rivers begin, and where they eventually end up. He shows how they can support a variety of wildlife, including salmon and other fish, but that they have a destructive side too, eroding soil and flooding the land. Nye inserts his usual trademark humor and parody into the scientific discussion to create a fun learning atmosphere.

Alex Delaware 10 - The Web

After thirty years of attending to the phsical and mental health of the inhabitants of Knife Island, a tiny community in the Micronesian archipelago, Dr William Moreland feels it would be of benefit to his successor, and to his colleagues throughout the Pacific, if his records were properly analysed. Only too grateful to escape the violent atmosphere of Los Angeles and recoup their emotional resources, Dr Alex Delaware and his partner Robin accept Moreland's invitation to spend a sabbatical on the island to help him in the task. But Knife Island is not the paradise of the travel brochures. The murder of a young woman has created an atmosphere of division and fear.
