00:00The Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas and the Shudras and although people may not be aware of it, there is
00:08the fifth caste which are the Chandalas who are supposed to actually lie outside the pale of the caste system
00:14because they are not even supposed to be, they are not supposed to be human beings as according to the
00:20other castes and they are the Chandalas or as we call them the untouchables.
00:25So you have this system being perpetuated in India through the centuries, going on for generations on a hereditary basis
00:35and no matter that you could change your religion, people converted but people could not change their caste, you were
00:42born and you died in the caste that you work in.
00:55This has been the A.N. Time Traveler.
01:08When the British colonized Africa in the 17th century, they ran into a problem with one of the tropics deadliest
01:17diseases, malaria.
01:18In trying to deal with it, they inadvertently invented one of the world's most popular drinks.
01:25Here is one of the ingredients, quinine. The story goes like this.
01:30The Indians of South America had known for a long time that the bark of a tree called cinchona would
01:37cure malaria.
01:38The Jesuits imported this bark into Europe as a cure for malaria.
01:43The trouble was that when doctors prescribed quinine water for the English aristocracy in Africa, they wouldn't drink it.
01:52Taste was too bitter. So what they did was they mixed it with something else.
01:56I've usually got some right over here.
02:00Gin.
02:02The doctors added gin to the quinine tonic, making it more acceptable to English tastes.
02:10The gin and tonic, the drink that cooled the malaria fever.
02:14We don't know who added the lemon.
02:17Cheers.

03:59So you think you're pretty environmentally aware.
04:01You reduce, you reuse, you recycle.
04:03You've got it covered, right?
04:05Well, take another look.
04:06Find out why some environmental doctrines are truth, and others are myth.
04:11Watch Waste Not, Thursday at 7.30.
04:14You go into the classroom and you don't know really what you're going to be doing, and then, like you
04:18watch a film, it gives you a better perspective on what you're going to be doing.
04:20They help me to picture the concepts that we're taking in school. They really help me to understand what we're
04:26doing and what we are learning about.
04:28You can look at a video in a class and you can understand it and piece it better than if
04:34it is to be done on a chalkboard.
04:36I think it's a nice break from just notes and lectures and stuff to just have a video that maybe
04:41kids can relate to because, I mean, it's kind of such a visual age.
04:43It kind of puts a broader picture and it helps us to come up with discussions in class.
04:50And it's a lot more fun than listening to the teacher, I think.
04:54Access Network goes beyond the screen.
05:10Once upon a time, not long ago, not far away, we're in the village on a rainy day. Everything's wet.
05:18Puddles in the road, puddles in the lawns, and the stream is high, almost over the banks.
05:25It's not raining right now. A little bit of a lull. We may have a storm again. This will be
05:31the lull before the storm.
05:34Rusty and Jerome were going on a hike today. Don't think they went. Too wet.
05:39There's that big boot. A good day for boots. Look up. Way up. And we're on our way to the
05:46castle.
05:46I'll hurry over first and go in the back door so I can let the drawbridge down and open the
05:50big front doors for you.
05:51Are you ready? Here is my castle.
05:54Please.
05:54Please stay.
05:54Are you ready? Here is my castle.
06:11Goodbye.
06:12Sorry.
06:13It's okay.
06:15Time to listen.
06:15No?
06:44Here we are inside.
06:45Here's one little chair for one of you, a bigger chair for two more to curl up in, and for
06:50someone who likes to rock, a rocking chair in the middle.
06:55There. Now, look up.
06:59And way up.
07:02It is late.
07:04This little chair will be waiting for one of you, and a rocking chair for another who likes to rock,
07:09a big armchair for two more to curl up in when you come again to our castle.
07:13Now I'll close the big front doors and pull up the drawbridge after you're gone.
07:17Goodbye. Goodbye.
07:18Goodbye.
07:19Goodbye.
