RAVI JULY 10, 2017 13:24 IST UPDATED: JULY 10, 2017 13:41 IST As National Geographic’s mega live show Earth Live goes on air this morning, wildlife cinematographer Sandesh Kadur talks about the importance of capturing a slice of animal life in environment conservation Considering its scale, reach and coverage, the much talked about National Geographic’s Earth Live, a two-hour live broadcast by world’s leading wildlife cinematographers, can be called an epic television show. Covering key locations across six continents, it will be simulcast in 171 countries and 45 languages. From hyenas of Ethiopia to rare and elusive ocelots, from Mexican free-tailed bats in Texas to beluga whale breeding grounds at Canada, from lion http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/one-with-the-world/article19249779.ece 1/4 4/12/2018 One with the world - The Hindu prides at Kenya’s Masai Mara to flamingos in Mexico , it will be global wildlife non-stop. In India it will be telecast early morning today. From India well known photographer and filmmaker Sandesh Kadur is showcasing the Old World monkeys, langurs. Calling it a privilege to be part of the show, he says what makes it different is not merely the scale and scope. “Capturing what is happening at the very moment makes it organic for the audience as sitting at their homes they watch slices of animal world like never before. A documentary normally is shot over years and then edited but in this case you see live action of varied animals at different places and time.

  • Inscriptions of Early Āndhradeśa: Results of Fieldwork in January and February 2016
    Inscriptions of Early Āndhradeśa: Results of fieldwork in January and February 2016 Stefan Baums, Arlo Griffiths, Ingo Strauch and Vincent Tournier* This is the accepted version of a forthcoming article in Bulletin de l’École Française d’Extrême-Orient 102: http://www.efeo.fr/base.php?code=643 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/23279/ [Please do not quote or circulate without permission from the authors] Introduction From 2015 through 2017, the EFEO is administering an international collaborative research project entitled “From Vijayapurī to Śrīkṣetra: the beginnings of Buddhist exchange across the Bay of Bengal.” This project aims to investigate the early phases of Buddhist exchange across the Bay of Bengal based on a comprehensive study of the epigraphic record of the site of Nagarjunakonda (on the border of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states) in India, and Śrīkṣetra (near the modern town of Pyay) in Myanmar, as well as related sites in both countries.1 It will in due course deliver publications of the two epigraphic corpora in question, as a basis for comprehensive interdisciplinary investigation of the early history of Buddhist exchange between the east coast of India and the Pyu civilization of the Irrawady river valley in Burma. As members of this larger project, we recently undertook fieldwork in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh—an area we shall henceforward refer to as Āndhradeśa—with the principal aim to document inscriptions dating from the Ikṣvāku period (3rd–4th centuries CE). We recorded the present locations of known inscriptions as well as recent discoveries and took photographs, as a first step towards the publication of a corpus of the inscriptions of this period.

  • AN EXPLORATORY STUDY of SCIENCE BLOGGERS Degree Candidate
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: OPENING UP THE CONVERSATION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF SCIENCE BLOGGERS Degree Candidate: Gregory Michael Masters Degree and Year: Master of Arts, 2013 Thesis Directed by: Dr. Carol L. Rogers Philip Merrill College of Journalism Over the past decade, science blogs have experienced tremendous growth and changes in organization, becoming an important part of what researchers have called the “evolving science media ecosystem.” This thesis explores the practices and perceptions of science bloggers through 20 in-depth interviews and through a review of the blogs themselves. The research suggests areas where this medium is having a unique impact on how science communication occurs. The interview results revealed that science bloggers are motivated mainly by enjoyment, have a wide variety of routines and reporting/writing processes, strive to incorporate a personal touch, and are very engaged with readers and fellow writers through social media. This research found that science blogs have important roles in complementing other forms of science communication, opening aspects of science to wider view, promoting conversations about science through blog comments and social media, and exploiting digital tools to enhance communication. OPENING UP THE CONVERSATION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF SCIENCE BLOGGERS by Gregory Michael Masters Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2013 Advisory Committee: Dr. Carol L. Rogers, Chair Dr. Ira Chinoy Carl Sessions Stepp © Copyright by Greg Masters 2013 PREFACE As teenagers, my brother and I would often drive far into Western Maryland to escape the city lights, parking at the edge of fields in the middle of nowhere to lie on the hood and peer at the stars.

    Extreme China Back for Season 2 on National Geographic Another season of extreme adventure into China’s most formidable landscapes will bring even more amazing stories of China to viewers around the globe HONG KONG, DECEMBER 28, 2018 – National Geographic has announced that its popular documentary series Extreme China will be returning for a second season in 2019. A joint production collaboratively created by National Geographic and the China Intercontinental Communication Centre (CICC), the series’ return was announced in December at the Guangzhou International Documentary Film Festival in China. Extreme China follows National Geographic explorer and photographer Ben Horton as he teams up with Chinese adventurers to journey into China’s most extreme landscapes in search of local communities that are not just surviving but thriving. They must brave the elements and navigate through diverse terrains; free diving, ice climbing and caving to rekindle the spirit of true adventure and discovery. Making their way through sinkholes, frozen icefalls and the open sea, the teams learn from each other, the environment around them and the locals who call these extreme locations home. The three Chinese explorers who accompany Ben Horton on these formidable journeys are Dr. Liu Yong, an alpinist and the first person to sail into the unknown field of the Antarctic continent; Dou Dou, a photographer and free diver with millions of fans on social media who has traveled seven continents, four oceans and more than 100 countries; and Liu Yongbang, a rock climber and the first Chinese climber to scale some of the country’s toughest 5.14 routes.
