>According to current estimates, 21–36 million people are trafficked or enslaved each year, generating more than $150 billion in revenue for the criminals who perpetrate this grave human rights injustice. Although global attention to the issue is gradually increasing, greater devotion of resources is still needed. Since 2009, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) has placed a particular focus on this issue and has encouraged members to develop Commitments to Action to combat human trafficking. CGI members have mobilized to affect change across all aspects of the anti-trafficking space, including working to stem the supply of and demand for trafficked persons, reforming the justice system, rescuing trafficking victims, empowering survivors, and raising awareness among the general public.

Reel vs. Real: Vibranium
Let’s start with the fictional magic metal itself. You’ve seen it before: vibranium is a major part of Captain America’s shield. The Wakandan isotope can store more energy than any other substance, absorbing all vibrations in the vicinity as well as kinetic energy directed at it. That vibration-storing means that a lot of Wakandan tech is based around sound, and the storing, dampening, and releasing thereof. The vibranium in Black Panther’s suit protects him from kinetic damage, and vibranium sneakers are both super-quiet and amazing shock absorbers for jumping. Those would be great for spies, right? Too bad vibranium isn’t real.
There are some things that are close, though. Tungsten carbide is used to compress materials; at the same time it stores some of that compressive energy and can release it later. Piezoelectric materials transform vibrations into electricity (like kids’ shoes that flash when they run), a simpler form of the way Black Panther’s suit stores kinetic impacts and then releases them as energy blasts.

Soon after the downing of Francis Gary Powers’ U-2 in May 1960, the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Arleigh Burke, recommended to DCI Allen Dulles that the CIA’s Office of Special Activities modify a U-2 so it could fly from an aircraft carrier. This way, the US could avoid political problems associated with negotiating base agreements with reluctant allies hesitant to invite Soviet displeasure, while also allowing the U-2 near global access.
