[Peace] AOTA/NFN suggested videos

[J.B. Nicholson]

Here's the set of suggested videos I've sent to UPTV's Jason Liggett for running 
during the AOTA and NFN timeslots. As before, if anyone else has any other videos to 
run instead, I've indicated that your suggestions should be prioritized above mine.

Thanks.
