Department of State Washington File: International Effort Under Way on Emissions-Reducing Technology
In CO2 storage, the captured gases can be dissolved in deep oceans; converted to rock-like solid materials; absorbed by grasses, trees, soils and algae; or, as this article describes, injected into geologic formations like sandstone or limestone aquifers, old oil and gas fields, and coal beds that cannot be mined. ...

Montevideo has some 35-radio stations including 12 FM. Radio programming consists of music, news programs, and soap operas. The tango, the music of the Rio de la Plata area, is heard on many stations, but modern rock from the U.S., Brazil, and Europe is more popular. Short-wave reception is quite good in Montevideo, outside the downtown area. Listeners can pick up VOA, BBC, and the Armed Forces Radio Service. The best reception is from 8 p.m. to midnight. Uruguay has four TV stations and five cable channels provide additional programming. [Read More]

Vol 31 No 3, July - September 1993 Page 27
I favor the use of rock songs in class, because in today’s society rock music is everywhere. It is constantly played on the radio, on TV, in downtown stores, in restaurants, in supermarkets, and in night clubs. Such widespread exposure has made it a big part of our lives. Rock music is roughly 40 years old; in that short timespan it has invaded almost every corner of the world, exposing millions of people to Western culture and values. Its impact on our lives cannot be denied. To quote Paul McCartney, rock music is the classical music of the twentieth century. ... [Read More]
US Department Of State Post Report
Argentina’s area of 1,072,067 square miles is about one-third that of the U.S. In climate, size, and topography, Argentina can be compared with the portion of the U.S. between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, although the North American region has colder winters. The humid lowlands of eastern Argentina, especially along the rivers of the Rio de la Plata system, resemble the Mississippi Valley. In northern Argentina, the savannas and swamps of the Chaco region find a parallel in coastal Louisiana. Westward, the humid pampa (plain) gives way to rangeland and finally to desert that is broken only by irrigated oases, just as the Great Plains of the U.S. become drier toward the west. The Andes present a far more imposing barrier than the Rockies, but both mountain systems mark the western end of the plains. ... [Read More]
V. Country Narratives -- Countries A through G
Benin is a source, transit, and destination country for children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation. Beninese children are trafficked to Nigeria, Ghana, Gabon, Cote d’Ivoire, and Cameroon for forced labor and prostitution. Beninese children are trafficked within the country for forced labor in construction, commercial enterprises, the handicraft industry, and roadside vending. Children from Niger, Togo, and Burkina Faso are trafficked to Benin for domestic labor and vending. The traditional practice of "vidomegon," whereby poor children are placed with wealthy families, has resulted in some labor and sexual exploitation. Children trafficked outside Benin are trafficked to cocoa plantations in Cote d’Ivoire, rock quarries in Nigeria, and involuntary domestic servitude in Gabon. The Government of Benin does not fully comply with the minimum ... [Read More]
