Street Performance:
Street performance or busking is the act of performing in public places for gratuities. In many countries the rewards are generally in the form of money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given. Street performance is practiced all over the world by men, women and children and dates back to antiquity. People engaging in this practice are called street performers or buskers.
Performances are anything that people find entertaining. Performers may do acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street art such as sketching and painting, street theatre, sword swallowing, and ventriloquism.
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous.

Crown Lecture in Ethics | Former U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe
This is the 2018 Crown Lecture in Ethics, “Politics and Our Potential: Can Congress Rise to Meet Its Obligation to Govern?”
Former U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe is the first and only woman to have served in both houses of a state legislature, and then both chambers of Congress. Snowe, a Republican, won the Maine U.S. Senate seat three times, serving from 1995 to 2013. Her solidly centrist views and efforts to build bipartisan consensus gave her a national reputation as one of Congress’ leading moderate policymakers.
Event moderator: Frederick “Fritz” Mayer, professor of public policy and director of POLIS: The Center for Political Leadership, Innovation, and Service.
The Crown Lecture in Ethics is made possible by a gift from Lester Crown and the Crown family and its purpose is to bring speakers to campus to discuss compelling ethical issues in the fields of art, science, medicine, business and policy.
The lecture is presented by the Sanford School of Public Policy and co-sponsored by POLIS. It was held March 26, 2018. This event is part of the yearlong centennial celebration of the late Terry Sanford, Duke’s president from 1970-1985.

Recreational Marijuana Legalization, Allowing Sports Betting, Preventing Social Media Addiction
Governor Tim Walz recently requested that state agencies prepare for the possibility of recreational marijuana use becoming legal in Minnesota, and DFL lawmakers are touring the state to listen to voters. Senator Jeff Hayden, DFL-Minneapolis, is in favor of legalization and Senator Roger Chamberlain, R-Lino Lakes, is opposed. Both lawmakers join Capitol Report moderator Shannon Loehrke to further explain their perspectives.

Greenblatt is a Harvard professor whose many influential books include The Swerve: How the World Became Modern, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. He gives the keynote talk of the Fictions of History conference.
Greenblatt describes his lecture, Getting Real: The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve: The three great monotheisms, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all trace the origin of humankind to a single identifiable male and female.

NOVA scienceNOW : 50 - Moon Smasher, Secrets in the Salt, Bird Brains, Profile: Lonnie Thompson
Moon Smasher - 02:15
Tag along with a team of scientists at NASA who will smash two SUV-sized rockets onto the lunar surface and unleash a debris cloud to study with LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite). The data could provide the key to understanding how to build a permanent base on the moon, accelerating a new race to the moon.
Secrets in the Salt - 13:06
The ancient Egyptians preserved their dead with salt. The technique worked so well that bodies thousands of years old still survive today as mummies. Now researchers are uncovering evidence that salt has preserved life-forms much older than any pharaoh. Correspondent Ziya Tong explores a place where the ultimate natural preservative may enshroud remnants of life a quarter billion years old.
Bird Brains - 24:56
Birds have an undeserved reputation for low brainpower. In fact, they produce one of the most glorious phenomena in nature: birdsong. How do their brains do it? And what does this skill tell us about the evolution of another remarkable phenomenon, human language?
Research on an Australian songbird called the zebra finch is shedding light on babbling in babies, stuttering, and the neuronal processes of understanding and making sounds. Evidence of the evolution of birdsong as well as human speech may lie in our genes, including an intriguing gene called FOXP2.
Profile: Lonnie Thompson - 38:20
For more than 30 years, glaciologist Lonnie Thompson has been collecting ice. Why? Because cores of ice from high mountain glaciers contain significant data about past climate change, which can be useful in helping us combat current climate change. All told, Thompson has worked in 15 countries on five continents, helping to build an invaluable archive dating back 700,000 years.
