Private Jet Expeditions 2017–2018 Private Jet Expeditions Africa by Private Jet • Around the World by Private Jet • Asia by Private Jet Australia and New Zealand by Private Jet • Great Empires by Private Jet: Exploring Ancient Persia to the Mediterranean Sacred Places: An Exploration of Faith and Culture by Private Jet Dear Traveler, All around the globe, National Geographic explorers—our researchers, conservationists, writers, and photographers—have helped illuminate and demystify our planet, bringing us insights into culture and wildlife and helping us understand geology, geography, and the origins of our species. From documenting the wildlife of the Okavango Delta to excavating lost cities in Central Asia, the breadth of their fieldwork is astonishing. And there are few better ways to fathom the extent of their reach—or the magnificent diversity of our planet—than by witnessing it firsthand via private jet. In the following pages, you’ll find six extraordinary expeditions that crisscross the globe, each celebrating treasures both natural and cultural. Our newest expedition traces the legacies of great empires like the Ottomans and the Persians as we make our way from Isfahan, Iran, to Ancient Merv, Serbia, and beyond. Along with our classic Around the World itinerary, we’ll explore some of the most spiritually significant sites on the planet—from Jerusalem and Rome to Lalibela, Ethiopia—on our upcoming Sacred Places expedition. And we’ll delve into the myriad wonders of three continents on journeys that focus on Asia, Africa, and Australia and New Zealand. What sets apart these trips are the National Geographic experts who accompany us and the extraordinary researchers we meet in the field. Whether it’s archaeologist and editor Kristin Romey introducing us to the sites of Persia and the Silk Road, or filmmaker and conservationist Sandesh Kadur sharing insights on Africa’s wild places, our experts enrich the experience and bring us closer to the places we explore. Flying direct from one destination to the next aboard our VIP-configured private jets makes travel comfortable, efficient, and fun. And everywhere we stop, we’re treated to fine accommodations, delicious meals, and, often, traditional entertainment. These trips celebrate what makes this planet incredible with the people who are working hard to document and preserve it. I hope you’ll join us on board. To reserve your place, please call 1-800-224-1894 or visit natgeoexpeditions.com. Sincerely, Lynn Cutter Executive Vice President National Geographic Travel When you travel with us, you make a difference.

It was so very much more than that. Life-altering is not a strong enough term...I feel like I am more a citizen of the world. I wish I could do it all over again for the very frst time. For those who are as yet undecided...go, just go.

If the artifacts are indeed prehistoric stone tools, then it means humans settled on the shores of ancient Pleistocene lake more than 30, years ago. The well was the only permanent watering place in those parts and, being a necessary watering place for Bedouin raiders, had been the scene of many fierce encounters in the past, [12]. According to those overseeing the project, Neom has already invited tenders from a range of international firms, while plans are moving forward to build a road bridge to Egypt. In the valley of the Tombs, to the east of the city, the "houses of the dead," veritable underground palaces, were decorated with particularly fine sculpture and frescoes.

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.

NORTHWEST AIRLINES 1926-2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES Personal Retrospectives by Robert DuBert It's hard to believe that they are gone. Can it be possible that it was 50 years ago this September that this aircraft made its first public appearance? Are we really all so, ahem, elderly that we Photo: True Brand, courtesy Vincent Carrà remember 1968 as if it were yesterday? This plane had its origins in 1964, when Boeing began work on a proposal for the C-5A large military airlifter contract, and after Lockheed won that contest, Boeing considered a commercial passenger version as a means of salvaging the program. Urged on by Pan Am president Juan Trippe, Boeing in 1965 assigned a team headed by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter to design a large new airliner, although Boeing at the time was really more focused on its supersonic transport (SST) program. A launch customer order from Pan Am on April 13, 1966 for twenty five aircraft pushed Sutter's program into high gear, and in a truly herculian effort, Joe Sutter and his Boeing team, dubbed “The Incredibles,” brought the program from inception on paper to the public unveiling of a finished aircraft in the then unheard of time of 29 months. We're talking, of course, about the legendary and incomparable Boeing 747. THE ROLLOUT It was a bright, sunny morning on Monday, Sept.

  • 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.
