Rodney Baldus, a retired truck driver from Minnesota, believes he is the recipient of a large inheritance belonging to his late wife. The inheritance is in Italy, but he is told he must first fly to Africa to sign papers before going on to Italy. Since his travel expenses are all paid for, Rodney is not suspicious of criminal activity. Unfortunately, Rodney is now sitting in a crowded jail cell in Mozambique with little hope of ever getting out, and his daughter, Nicole, fears for her diabetic father's life. Rodney is what is sometimes called a blind mule, a victim who was persuaded to transport money or contraband for a criminal gang, an unwitting participant in a serious crime. Journalist Mariana van Zeller, host of National Geographic Television's Trafficked, tells his story.

As individuals we are the sum total of all our experiences. So it is with Michael Lienau. From a childhood interest in film to a career as a documentary filmmaker, he has left his mark. A close encounter with Mt. Saint Helens eruptions set him on a path to study and document volcanoes. On the way he has translated science into videos that inform and educate generations of people. During the podcast several video productions focusing on volcanoes were mentioned.Here is the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History Global Volcanism Program for the VolFilm Episodes:https://volcano.si.edu/gallery/VideoCollection.cfm?subject=VOLFilms&language=EnglishAnd specifically the ones produced in English language:Human Experiences with Lava Flowshttps://vimeo.com/666125121Debris Avalanches and Landslideshttps://vimeo.com/666128789Health Hazards of Ashhttps://vimeo.com/666121806For over 45 years Michael Lienau has been an award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer, working in documentaries, television, feature films, commercials, corporate, government and new media.When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980, 20-year-old Michael Lienau was one of the first cinematographers to photograph the devastation around the mountain from the ground. Caught in the second largest eruption, the camera crew barely escaped with their lives. Michael's dramatic footage was seen worldwide in IMAX theaters and on television. His unforgettable experience on the mountain fueled a life-long desire to communicate his own story and those of other eyewitnesses in an independent dramatic documentary, “THE FIRE BELOW US: Remembering Mount St. Helens.” This seven-time award-winner became the longest running, most requested, highest rated independent film on National Geographic Television and was also seen internationally on Discovery Networks and PBS.His life changing experience at the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption led Michael to engage with world-class earth scientists to better understand Earth processes, including plate tectonics related to volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis. Much of Michael's affinity for science came from his father, a nuclear physicist who later became a leading expert in the development of geothermal resources around the world.Check out Michael's main website: Global Net ProductionsMajor Endorsements:!Rescheduled January 2025!

Jim Bruton has been fortunate to realize most of his childhood dreams - watching wildlife television programs as a child, then living in Africa and winning an Emmy for his work with National Geographic Television; dreaming of sci-fi gadgets while reading through Popular Mechanics, then shrinking a television truck into a backpack, transmitting live video from all seven continents of the world. His love of vintage aircraft translated from gluing models together as a boy to building and flying of two historical reproduction airplanes. Jim experienced an out-of-body Near-Death experience after his airplane crashed and is the author of The In Between, A Trip of a Lifetime and The Practice In Between, The Art of Letting Go.

Paul Bauman discusses the inaugural Global Sustainability Lecture series, "A Strategy for Improving Rural Water Supply Development in Sub-Saharan Africa." Though 98% of the available freshwater in the world is groundwater, groundwater resources are not easily available in much of the world, where subsurface water is the only option. Today, more than 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa live in water insecurity, meaning they lack reasonable access to either sufficient quantities of water or water of acceptable quality. For rural populations, a direct consequence of water insecurity is food insecurity. In the Horn of Africa alone, more than 60% of the population is food insecure, with more than 20 million people approaching famine conditions. In this conversation with host Andrew Geary, Paul highlights how water impacts all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. He outlines the impact of two billion people living with water stress and how it could reach over five billion in the next ten years. Paul also shares why every geoscientist needs to be aware of this crisis, how it impacts their work, and what actions to take to address the issue. This is an inspiring, humbling, and necessary conversation. Listen to the full archive at https://seg.org/podcast.

He and his wife have three children—two recent college graduates and a college freshman—and live in Washington, D.C.   Episode Highlights Signs are important (even bathroom signs). You could say that my interview with this New York Times best-selling author started in the toilet. Specifically, the surprisingly insightful and intuitive bathroom signs we both observed on trips to Denmark. This led Dan to the Ezra Pound quote on attaining “maximum efficiency of expression.” I was not alone in being afraid of The Power of Regret. While I've loved all of Dan's books, I was a little afraid to pick up his latest. “You are absolutely not alone,” Dan noted, adding: “Regret is something that we're taught to be afraid of in our ‘No regrets' culture.” The role regret plays for marketers. “Regrets can tell marketers a lot. If someone regrets something it also tells you something about what they value.” Be sure to listen to this entire portion of the interview for lots of tactical, practical advice for marketers on the role regret plays in consumer behavior. “Regret gives us a window into the human psyche.” Book covers and branding. As someone who values visual communication (from bathroom signs to branding), I had to compliment Dan on The Power of Regret's compelling book covering featuring a wadded-up piece of paper—possibly the ultimate symbol of regret. “I try to ask myself—what is the Nike swoosh for this body of ideas? What is the single visual representation?” What brand has made Dan smile recently? “The Economist magazine has clever covers and their slogan—great minds like a think—makes me smile.” To learn more, check out Dan's website, and be sure to sign up for his helpful newsletter and Pinkcast videos.   As We Wrap … Listen and subscribe at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon/Audible, Google Play, Stitcher, TuneIn, iHeart, YouTube, and RSS.

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed for National Geographic Television, by Associate Producer Dana Kemp, on August 24, 2003, preparing to pitch for a segment on a developing episode for a second season of one of their programs. Six weeks before this interview, the U.S. Supreme Court had decided the Lawrence v. Texas decision of June 26, 2003. This interview was a follow-up to the first interview that been conducted two weeks previously on July 24, 2003. (That first interview used to be available for sale before it was later made freely available on Episode 43 of this podcast. With this new episode, this second interview is released for the very first time.) This 64-minute interview centered around how the producer could best pitch the segment to the higher-ups at National Geographic Television channel. She asked excellent questions, completely understood the importance of the standard of Love-not-Force, and was definitely sympathetic to the issues of persecution for Christian Polygamy and UCAP (Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy). She even recognized how jealousy is a cultural, social indoctrination of expectation. Mark Henkel discussed how some of the families with the TruthBearer.org organization (he founded) could be willing to participate under some serious privacy protections. Listeners will find this positively conducted interview to be quite educational. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

Paul J. Mila has a passion for writing, scuba diving around the world, underwater photography, and speaking to groups about ocean conservation. Before taking a dive into the world of sea turtles and moray eels, Paul was a business writer, so he carried his expertise in writing over to his newfound love of scuba-diving and underwater photography.

Paul has visited the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic, the South Pacific Tonga Islands, Cozumel, Bonaire, Curacao, Hawaii, and Antigua. It is through his traveling that Paul has gotten to experience amazing things like free-diving with humpback whales, diving with Caribbean reef sharks, and watching a live-hatching of baby turtles. Paul has been featured in magazines, scuba diving websites, and the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival in Australia, and by National Geographic Television. Paul has written a myriad of books including five novels from the Manetta Mystery Series: “Dangerous Waters”, “Whales’ Angels,” “Fireworks,” “Near Miss” and “Killer In Paradise”; two non-fiction books: “BUBBLES UP!” (coauthored with Judith Hemenway), and “Basic Underwater Photography”; and two children’s’ books titled “Harry Hawksbill Helps His Friends” and his newest “Gracie Green Turtle Finds Her Beach.”

Earning Freedom: Conquering a 45-Year Prison Term, by Michael Santos Reading Chapter 13.2 Episode describes being in the hole at Lompoc Camp, and getting charged with disciplinary infractions, advocacy, prevailing. Months 232-233 ******* Confinement in SHU, “the hole,” is intended as further punishment to imprisonment. It is constant deprivation, leaving a person without access to phone calls, commissary, or recreation yards. The forced segregation can last for days, weeks, months, or years. Some men flip out when authorities send them to the hole. They retaliate by kicking on the doors, banging fists or heads against the walls, or becoming delusional.  But I’ll be okay, regardless of what this system does. During the decades I’ve served, guards have locked me in the SHU several times, but never for a disciplinary infraction. I’ve been through enough transfers and holdover cells that the close quarters don’t bother me anymore. I block out the screaming and noise from other cells. Carole sends me subscriptions to four news magazines. She sends three books each week. I finish reading two extensive biographies by Ron Chernow, one on J.D. Rockefeller and another on J.P. Morgan. I read the Bible and exercise daily on my tiny patch of cement floor. I didn’t expect the abrupt change, but it doesn’t paralyze me. The solitude allows me time to stare at the concrete walls and think. Only the taunting from petty bureaucrats like Jim Miller disturbs my serenity. Mr. Miller is the Camp Administrator at Lompoc, essentially the CEO of the camp. I met him during my first week here, back in July of 2005. After my hasty transfer from the Florence Camp, I needed some assurance that my published writings wouldn’t cause problems. If Carole was going through the expense of moving to California, we had to be reasonably certain staff wouldn’t transfer me again. After his gatekeeper, the dragon lady, let me in, Miller agreed to talk to me in his conference room. Miller presents an imposing figure. He stands six-five, wears cowboy boots, has a powerful build with an alabaster round head, fleshy cheeks, and blue eyes that remain half-closed whenever he addresses a prisoner. When I stood in front of his desk the first time we met, he leaned back in his chair to applaud me, a corner of his mouth rising in a sarcastic sneer. “Well, Mr. San-tos, you must be very proud of yourself.” He derisively hyphenates my last name with his affected drawl. “Why’s that?” I was not surprised that he knew my name. “You’re the first person I’ve met who comes up first when I Google his name.” “I wouldn’t know. I’ve never used the Internet.” “Let’s not kid each other, Mr. San-tos. You know exactly what you’re doing.” “Do you have a problem with my writing? That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. My wife is planning on moving here, and before she does I want to make sure I’m not going to be transferred.” He shrugged. “That’s entirely up to you” “I don’t do anything that violates the rules. But I have a new book coming out,” I told him. “Will that cause me any problems here?” He shook his head. “We’ll just have to wait and see. I don’t have a crystal ball, can’t make no guarantees.” When I went to see Mr. Miller for that face-to-face conversation two years ago, I was making the record clear about my work. I purposely avoided him after that meeting. Now that I’m locked in SHU, he appears at my cell, leans against the doorframe, and peers through the window cut into the door. I ignore him, though his big, clean shaven head fills the window and I can sense his contempt. He taps the window with his ring and I look over. “Got any questions for me, Mr. San-tos?” I shake my head. He jerks his head, gesturing that I should walk toward the door. “Your wife’s causing all kinds of ruckus out here, making extra work for me.” “I’ve got a few problems of my own,” I say into the doorframe. He nods his head, irritation evident in his tight-lipped expression. “I need you to sign these releases.” He slides a file with papers under the door along with a pen. “What are they for?” I ask. “They authorize me to communicate information to the people bothering me about your case.” “I’m an open book. I’ve got nothing to hide. You can communicate with anyone who asks about me.” “Sign the forms,” he gestures with his index finger. After signing, I slide the file back under the door. “I’ll need that pen back, Mr. San-tos.”
I slide him the pen. “You know you’ll never return to a camp, don’t you?” he grins, appearing quite pleased. “Do those 20 years that I’ve already served still count?” My question diminishes some of the pleasure he derives from taunting prisoners. “What’s that?” he asks. “The past 20 years I’ve served, don’t they still count?” Miller doesn’t respond but nods his big, shiny head and walks down the hall gripping his file folder full of signed forms. ******* A week passes and a guard finally comes, ordering me to cuff up. I grab an envelope that contains a statement I wrote to detail my version of events. Then I back up to the trap for handcuffing. The guard grips the chain and leads me from my cell down the corridor, through the gates, past the control bubble, and into an office with walls covered in dark acoustic padding for soundproofing. Behind a desk a lieutenant sits with his back to me as he types. He has a pale, bald head, and three rolls of fat droop at the base of his thick neck. “I’ve got Inmate Santos,” the guard announces. “That’ll be all, Officer,” the lieutenant says. The guard releases his grip on my handcuffs and walks out, leaving me standing in front of the desk with my hands cuffed behind my back. After he finishes typing, the lieutenant spins his cushioned chair around to face me. “Do you know who I am?” “I know you’re a lieutenant.” He nods his head. “That’s right. I’m Lieutenant Tremble and I understand you’re some kind of celebrity around here.” “I’m a long-term prisoner. That’s it.” “Good, I’m glad to hear we understand each other, because no matter how many people you have calling this prison, or how many letters people write, I’m not treatin’ you any diff’rent than I treat anyone else.” Firm but fair. That’s the BOP motto. But I know that if it weren’t for my wife’s success in mobilizing my friends and those in my support network, this lieutenant would’ve kept me stewing for a month “under investigation” before he called me in. “I’m investigatin’ the two disciplinary infractions you’re bein’ charged with,” Lieutenant Tremble says. “What are the charges?” “Conducting a business and unauthorized use of government equipment.  Specifically, you used a computer. Now Whadda ya have to tell me?” “I’m not running a business, and I had staff authorization for my work on the computer. I prepared a written statement that I want you to make part of the record.” “Let me have the statement.” I turn my back to him and he grabs the envelope from my cuffed hands. “It’s all in there,” I say, turning to face him again. The lieutenant opens the envelope and pulls out the three yellow pages. “You want me to include all of this?” “I want a full written record. This isn’t my first problem with the BOP and I’ve learned that documenting everything serves my interests well.” The lieutenant shakes his head. “Do you realize I’ve got to type all this?” “I take disciplinary charges seriously and I intend to prove I wasn’t doing anything that could be considered against the rules.” “Fine. I’ll read your statement later. Give me the quick version now.” I shrug my shoulders. “I don’t run a business. I write and type manuscripts for books. The books describe prison and encourage readers to lead responsible lives. BOP policy allows me to do this without staff permission and my Central File includes a letter from a BOP attorney specifically authorizing my work. I send the manuscripts home. My wife converts them into books. I assign away the rights to all royalties so I don’t have any financial or business interest in the work. I don’t have anything to hide.” “What about the computer?” Lieutenant Tremble asks. “Mr. Brown authorized me to use it after I completed my required duties. No one in the powerhouse is going to complain about my work.” “Well why don’t you think anyone from the powerhouse is steppin’ up to bail you out?” “I don’t know what they’re doing or why.” “Mr. Brown doesn’t have the authority to grant you permission to use the computer for personal work. Staff members don’t even have permission to use computers for personal work. These computers are for government work only. Besides that, I already spoke with Mr. Brown.  He says that he never gave you permission to use the computer for anything but government work.” I shake my head, not surprised to learn that my supervisor takes the cowardly route of self-preservation, denying the truth. “You know what that means?” The lieutenant smiles derisively. “I don’t.  What does that mean?” “I’m going to have to amend the disciplinary report. I’ll be adding a third charge of lying to a staff member. You lied when you told me that you had permission to use the computer for personal work.” “Did it ever occur to you that the staff may be lying?” “Be careful, Inmate Santos. You don’t wanna dig yourself in deeper, do you?” “Check the files in the computer. You’ll see that I typed plenty of documents for staff members.” “What kind of documents?” The lieutenant shifts, smelling a bigger fish. “Documents that don’t have anything to do with government work.” “You’re telling me that BOP staff members had an inmate typin’ their personal information? I don’t buy it.” “Check it out. When staff asked for my help, I complied. Those computer files will show that I typed letters pertaining to their personal real estate holdings, résumés, and applications for jobs with other agencies.” He’s incredulous. “Are you telling me that my staff members asked you to type their résumés? They gave you personal information?” “Well I don’t know whether they’d consider themselves your staff members, but I certainly typed up their personal work at their request?”  “Then it looks like I’ve got more investigatin’ to do.” “Then you better go about your investigating.  It shouldn’t be hard.  The files are all over the computer.” ******* I’ve been locked in the hole for a month and I’m keeping my family and friends apprised of my situation by writing a daily journal describing the routine I’ve created. Carole posts the articles on MichaelSantos.net, connecting me to the world even if I am locked in a box. When the guard escorts me out to visit Carole on Saturday morning, she delivers wonderful news. “I’ve been talking with a high-level contact in the regional office,” Carole’s eyes sparkle. “I don’t even want to say her name in here.” “Okay, I get it. What’s up?” “I’ve sent her all of your books. She’s reviewed your entire file and she’s totally impressed with your record. She saw all the efforts you made to let the staff know about your writing and she reviewed the documents you typed for your supervisors at the powerhouse.” “And? I’m still being charged with running a business, using the computer, and lying to staff.” “Not anymore. You’ve been totally cleared of those charges and you’re being transferred to another camp. Honey, this mess is finally over.” That news from Carole elevates my spirit. Any day I expect guards will pull me out for transfer. Instead, on Tuesday evening, May 22nd, Lieutenant Marx taps his steel key against my window, smiling with his nod for me to approach the doorframe. “Got a new disciplinary infraction for ya,” he grins wickedly, “hun’red series.” “What are you talking about?” My stomach drops like a brick. A 100-series disciplinary infraction characterizes it as being one of the greatest in severity, exposing a prisoner to potential new criminal prosecution. “We found your weapon.” He nods gleefully. “Weapon? I’ve been locked in SHU for 31 days. You’re telling me you found a weapon today? That’s ridiculous,” I yell into the doorframe. He slides the disciplinary report under the door. “Prove it.” He shrugs, grins, and vanishes from sight down the tier. When Dorkin locked me in segregation in April he separated me from access to my personal property. He and Mr. Smith packed all of my belongings into green duffle bags. They filled out property forms that detailed every item they packed in the bags, down to the number of Bic pens. I have copies of those property forms and they don’t mention my having anything that could be construed as a weapon. Yet this new disciplinary infraction Lieutenant Marx just delivered accuses me of possessing a “sharpened metal weapon.” I’ve been locked in high security penitentiaries and I’ve thrived through 20 years of imprisonment without problems. Now I have to argue against a charge that I packed a weapon in camp cupcake? I’m being framed. Regardless of the guards’ motivation, a 100-series disciplinary infraction exposes me to the possibility of criminal charges. I spend the evening writing a lengthy protest on my yellow legal pad. On Saturday morning, Carole comes to visit and I tell her about this latest disruption. “They’re retaliating against you because the regional director expunged the other charges,” Carole understands the gravity of this new problem as I tell her of the weapons charge.  She worries that this isn’t ever going to end. “Whatever it takes, we’re going to fight this. If there was a weapon in my property, one of these crooked guards planted it. I haven’t had access to my property for more than a month.” “Michael, I hate this place and everything about it. I’m calling my contact at the region as soon as I leave here. Even an idiot can see that you’re being framed.  We’ll get you out of this.” Despite Carole’s confidence, I feel like I’m in a viper pit. ******* I’m on the toilet when I hear tapping on the window. I don’t even have to look up to know Miller has returned. He gestures with his shaved head for me to step to the doorframe. While I finish using the toilet, his big head stays in the window. I take my time washing my hands, then step closer while drying my hands on the threadbare towel. “Got calls from National Geographic Television and BBC radio requesting interviews with you. Looks like your wife’s been busy.” “Is that what you came to tell me?” I speak into the frame. “Do you want to participate in the interviews?” “Yes.” “Sign these release forms.” He slides the folder under the door with a pen. I sign both and slide them back. Miller picks up the folder, and then he opens it to make sure I signed on the right spot. “The requests are denied,” he states with a sneer and walks away. ******* On Thursday a guard comes for me. He cuffs and marches me out from my cell, down the tunnel and through the gates to the soundproof lieutenant’s office. “That will be all, Officer.” It’s Merkle, the SIS. He walks out from behind his desk and unlocks my handcuffs. “Remember me?” he asks. “Yes,” I say, even though two years have passed since I last saw the SIS lieutenant. “Sit down.” A stack of papers sits neatly on his desk. “I’ve prepared an affidavit. I’d like you to read it over. If it’s accurate, I’d like you to sign it. If anything is inaccurate, I’d like you to tell me so I can correct it. Okay?” “Fine. Give me the affidavit.” The document describes my use of the computer in the powerhouse, emphasizing the résumés, job applications, and rental agreements I typed for staff members at their direction. “The affidavit doesn’t mention anything about the weapon planted in my property after I was exonerated from charges of lying to staff, running a business, and using the computer for personal work,” I point out. “That’s a separate investigation,” he says. “Can I use your pen?” He pulls a gold pen from the inside pocket of his blazer and passes it to me. When I sign, I appreciate the smooth precision of the roller ball. “What are you in here for?” he asks. “When I was in my early 20s, I sold cocaine. It was a bad decision.” I return his pen. “Nice pen.” “Didn’t the president’s brother sell cocaine?” He puts the pen back in his inside pocket. “That was Roger Clinton. The president pardoned him before leaving office.” “And ‘justice’ for all,” the SIS officer smirks. ******* I’ve been locked in SHU for 60 days on the Saturday morning when I walk into the visiting room and see Carole’s radiant smile. “You look like you have good news,” I ask after we kiss and sit across from each other. “Can’t I just be happy to see my husband?” “Oh, so you like seeing me in my orange jumpsuit, unshaven?” “I talked to my contact at the region yesterday. The regional director knows you didn’t have a weapon. Every charge against you is already expunged and your record is totally clear again. You’re being transferred to another camp.” “Which camp?” “I’ll know on Monday. It doesn’t matter. I want you out of Lompoc.” Returning to my cell after our visit, relief floods through me and I thank God for the many blessings in my life. Some may consider Lompoc Camp as a “crown jewel” in the BOP system, but it’s tarnished and toxic, top to bottom. Maybe something bigger will come from my being thrown in SHU on trumped up charges. Maybe this crown jewel will get a much-needed cleaning. I hear Miller’s voice. He’s talking to a prisoner in a cell down the tier. He doesn’t stick his big round head in my window to watch me today. As he walks back toward the gates, I knock for him to approach. “What is it, Mr. San-tos?” He leans into the door from the hallway. “Did you hear that your superiors at the region have completely exonerated me of all those charges?” He looks at me with his signature sneer. “I did hear something about that.” “I guess I’ll be going to another camp after all,” I smile. After more than two months in SHU I can’t contain the mockery in my tone. “Looks that way,” he responds with studied neutrality. “I’m requesting a furlough transfer.” With a furlough transfer, Carole would be able to transport me to the new camp where I would surrender, sparing me the indignity of chains and guards. He shakes his head. “Don’t count on it, Mr. San-tos. You’ll be traveling in chains.”

Space Launch Live: America Returns to Space will be simulcast live coast to coast on Wednesday, May 27 at 2pm ET / 11am PT, live from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The event marks the first crewed space mission to be launched into orbit from U.S. soil in nine years. A star-studded celebration will proceed the launch as well as a two-hour documentary airing on both Discovery and Science Channel. The live multiplatform event will take viewers along the mission to launch veteran astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the ISS on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission, known as Demo-2, will use a Falcon 9 rocket, also built by SpaceX, to propel it. Discovery and Science Channel coverage will feature commentary from astronauts, engineers and other special guests, as well as unprecedented coverage during launch, including insight from Mike Massimino. Mike Massimino is a former NASA Astronaut, a New York Times bestselling author, a Columbia University engineering professor, and an advisor at The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. A veteran of two space shuttle missions and four spacewalks, Mike was the first person to tweet from space, holds the team record for the most spacewalking time on a single space shuttle mission, and successfully completed the most complicated spacewalk ever attempted to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Mike persisted through three rejections over 7 years on his way to becoming an astronaut, including overcoming a medical disqualification by training his eyes and brain to see better. He has had a recurring role as himself on the CBS comedy “The Big Bang Theory,” is the host for the Science Channel Series “The Planets and Beyond,” was featured in National Geographic Television’s “One Strange Rock,” is a frequent expert guest on news programs and late night television (including Good Morning America, The Today Show, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, CNBC, and The Late Show with David Letterman), and has been called the real-life astronaut who inspired George Clooney’s role in the movie “Gravity.” He lives in New York City.

Hoy queremos reflexionar sobre los motivos por los que descartamos una fotografía. Además, Sandra nos presenta el trabajo del fotógrafo Reza Deghati. TALLER DE FOTOGRAFÍA COSTA DE ASTURIAS Como parte de la oferta formativa de mis Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje, para el segundo semestre del año visitaremos algunas de las localizaciones más atractivas de la costa occidental de Asturias. Si quieres acompañarme y formar parte de esta aventura Taller Costa Asturias los días 27, 28 y 29 de septiembre. Plazas limitadas.  ¿POR QUÉ DESCARTAMOS UNA FOTOGRAFÍA? En este episodio compartimos algunos de los motivos que nos llevan a descartar una imagen cuando hacemos la revisión de una sesión fotográfica.  - Mala composición. - Fotos trepidadas (por el viento o porque hemos utilizado una velocidad muy baja disparando a mano). - Error a la hora de colocar un filtro degradado. - Patas del trípode que se meten en el encuadre. - Fotos que tomamos como prueba. - Fotos muy similares cuando trabajamos una escena y vamos corrigiendo detalles de la composición, etc. ¿Descartamos fotos que no están perfectamente nítidas? Muchos fotógrafos estamos obsesionados con la nitidez de los objetivos y creo que es conveniente dejar de ser esclavos de las imágenes vistas al 100%. Tenemos que darle menos importancia a aspectos técnicos y concentrarnos más en cuestiones estéticas o compositivas. También aprovechamos para describir nuestro flujo de trabajo utilizando Adobe Lightroom en la selección de imágenes. Faro de Mouro, Santander.

Reza Deghati, al que se le conoce simplemente por Reza, es originario de Irán aunque lleva viviendo en Francia una gran parte de su vida. Descubre la fotografía con 14 años y se da cuenta de que la mejor herramienta con la que comunicar la pobreza y miseria que invadía el país. A pesar de todo, decide empezar la carrera de arquitectura. Con 22 años, las autoridades iraníes lo detienen y pasa 3 años en la cárcel por haber colgado sus fotos en las paredes de las calles de Teherán. Tras la revolución iraní en 1979, Reza decide abandonar la carrera y dedicarse por completo a la fotografía. Lleva más de 30 años trabajando, entre otros, para National Geographic. En este tiempo, ha acumulado un archivo de más de 1,5 millones de fotos… Y muchas de ellas han sido portada de la revista. Es más, la pata audiovisual, National Geographic Television, ha producido varios vídeos y documentales sobre el trabajo de Reza.  Reza es, además de fotógrafo, una persona comprometida. Ha sido asesor de la ONU en Afganistán y es el fundador de la ONG AINA. También se dedica a dar charlas, sobre todo en universidades, y talleres de fotografía a refugiados. Todo ello le ha valido numerosos reconocimientos de todo tipo: internos en la National Geographic Society (siendo Fellow de 2006 a 2012 y actualmente Explorer) y multitud de premios. Una de las claves de su fotografía es que siempre ha trab...

Today you'll hear from David Royle, Morehead-Cain Class of 1978. Originally from Bristol, David leads the editorial team that launched the Smithsonian Channel—which is the youngest channel to have ever won an Emmy.

He was the Executive Producer of the award-winning television series National Geographic Explorer. Under his leadership, Explorer won more News and Documentary Emmy Awards than any other show on TV. As an independent filmmaker in New York, prior to working for National Geographic, David produced and directed programming for a wide range of broadcasters. David has won all of America’s major broadcasting awards, including: nine Emmys, the George Polk Award, the Edward R. Murrow Award, the Peabody Award, and du Pont-Columbia University Awards Silver and Gold Batons. After graduating from Carolina, he earned a master of arts at the University of Minnesota as a Rotary International Journalism Scholar.

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was interviewed for National Geographic Television, by Associate Producer Dana Kemp, on July 24, 2003, researching for developing an episode for a second season of one of their programs. One month after the Supreme Court's Lawrence v. Texas decision of June 23, 2003, this 83-minute interview was one of the groundbreaking & history-making interviews that paved the way for eventual TV shows about polygamy in a positive presentation. (Indeed, 15 years ago, this interview was even available on tape for $19.95 - but it is now fully free here!) The woman producer even said that the positive standard of "love-not-force" was what made her go "Bingo!" in realizing that Christian Polygamy and UCAP (Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy) are really positive choices for the women who choose it. In an era when TV producers would only show polygamists as abusive criminals, this comprehensively educational interview was an essential key that opened the door for the following future changes in television that would later report polygamy in vastly more positive ways. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

Border Wars: From Mayhem to Mindfulness ​Nicholas Stein, the Series Producer of National Geographic Television's series, “Border Wars,” can attest to the impact of human misery. Stein chronicled the unspeakable suffering of illegal migrants, coerced drug smugglers, violent crime victims and burnt out federal law enforcement officers. Over time, the combat-related stress of shooting “Border Wars,” took a psychological toll on Stein's personal resiliency as he struggled with his own post traumatic stress and unseen wounds. Using photographs and footage from his groundbreaking show, Nick humanizes and brings to life the everyday drama of the border all-the-while sharing his parallel story of burnout, change and affirmative growth. At the end Nick invites his audiences to experience the mindfulness, meditation and resilience training he currently shares with first-responders across the country.

Everyone thinks Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook gave birth to social media in 2004, but that isn't true. Before there was Facebook there was theglobe.com – the first-ever social networking site, created by 2 guys at the birth of the dot-com era, Stephan Paternot and Todd Krizelman. They launched it from their college dorm room at Cornell, and after a meteoric rise, theglobe.com became world-famous for its billion-dollar IPO in 1998. Over a six-year span, the company grew to over 300 employees, and the website became one of the top thirty most trafficked sites in the world. Only to quickly plummet toward the depths.Today, Stephan Paternot is co-founder & CEO of Slated, the world’s first online film finance marketplace. Powered by machine-learning analytics, over 1,400 listed films have received over $1.4 billion in investor introductions as of 2018. Over half of 2018’s Sundance Film Festival selections and Oscar nominated films were made by Slated members in producing, directing, and writing roles. In 2004, Stephan co-founded PalmStar, a film production and financing company that has produced and financed over 30 films including Hereditary (2018), Collateral Beauty (2016), Sing Street (2016) and John Wick (2014). Stephan is also the founder and general partner of the Actarus Funds. Founded in 2002, these angel funds have backed such companies as LendingClub, SecondMarket, Indiegogo, AngelList, Digital Currency Group, and many more.Stephan joins ONE37pm Strength Editor Corban Goble to discuss his amazing story and the re-release and updated version of his memoir, A Very Public Offering, detailing his experience at theglobe.com. A Very Public Offering was updated and reissued in 2018 in conjunction with the worldwide release of the National Geographic Television series Valley of the Boom, in which Stepgen is featured as a character, due out January 2019. Plus, his thoughts on what the next generation of innovators need to know and his current work with Slated.

Chris Morgan explains his career path and talks about the many adventures with bears that have shaped his life and films working with PBS, BBC, Discovery and National Geographic Television.

Bren Smith shifted from a career in commercial fishing to become a farmer of the ocean. After 15 years of trialing ideas on how to grow sea vegetables and other food on his 20-acre patch of Atlantic Ocean, he took his hard-earned lessons and started GreenWave.org, a program that is spawning an entirely new breed of pioneer restorative 3D ocean farmers. It's truly the new frontier that will ultimately feed the world, or so says CNN, The New Yorker, Bon Appetite, National Geographic Television, and the Wall Street Journal.

It’s about WW1 news 100 years ago this week  - and it’s about WW1 NOW - news and updates about the centennial and the commemoration.WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. Today is May 17th, 2017 and I’m Theo Mayer - Chief Technologist for the World War One Centennial Commission and your host. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week We have gone back in time 100 years - and the united states government launches the “The Official Bulletin” the country’s war information newspaper. It is published daily under order of the - President of the United States - published - by the Committee on Public Information, George Creel - ChairmanWe have introduced you to George Creel previously. Creel is a journalist, friend and staunch supporter of Woodrow Wilson - especially during the election of 1916. So it’s not surprising that President Wilson appoints Creel to head the newly minted Committee on Public Information - the CPI - as a part of the new war effort. The CPI’s mission is to swing public sentiment and backing in favor of the U.S. war effort. Effectively George Creel is the head of America's propaganda and war information bureau.This includes all aspects of the U.S. media, including print, film, posters, music, paintings, cartoons… everything.One of the key products of the CPI is the Official Bulletin, largely forgotten and gone unnoticed - in the century since.Starting this week, We are re-publishing each issue of this daily historically newspaper on the centennial date of its release. This archive is a wonderful cultural resource that illuminates this dynamic period in our country’s history.Fortunately, the entire archive has been digitized by Google Books and we are very excited to bring it to you as a daily serial on our web site - at ww1cc.org/bulletin - all lower case.The editorial team at WW1 Centennial News is going over the 120 or so weekly articles, bringing you some of the interesting headlines and digging into a story or two.This week, some of the headlines read:“Urgent need of ships for coastal defense is outlined”This article includes the interesting note: A number of the finest yachts in the country have been tendered to the Government by the owners for use during the war, either free or on a nominal lease basis”In the article - the Assistant Secretary of the Navy writes - “We need coastal defenses. The present war is showing that the submarine is a weapon that has an important bearing on the final result.”That astute assistant secretary of the navy in 1917 will become the 32nd President of the United States in 1933 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Another headline reads - MISSION TO RUSSIA.The Department of State authorizes the members of the special diplomatic mission of the United States of America to Russia - our close allies during this war.REGISTRATION DISTINCT FROM THE DRAFT,STATEMENT BY WAR DEPARTMENT EXPLAINSThis article that explains that all young men between 21 and 30 must REGISTER for the draft - but that being drafted is a separate and different issue.This is the first selective service moment in our nation’s history and there is a lot of interest and confusion about how it works.In fact - in the May 12, 1917 issue of the Official Bulletin -  there is a great article looking at the number of men in the US who will be subject to QUOTE “selective conscription”.They estimate that around 10 million men between ages 21 and 30 need to register. That is around 10% of the US’ estimated population of 103-104 million people in 1917.Based on state populations, they are looking at around 1 million young men from New York, 875,000 from Pennsylvania, half a million from Illinois, Texas and Ohio,  Remember a few weeks ago we talked about the fact that the US had virtually no national military - that in fact the state militias totally outnumbered the federal army. The building of that army is a story we will be following over the coming weeks.Link: ww1cc.org/bulletin Great War Project Joining us now is former NPR correspondent Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. This week Mike also focuses on the domestic struggle to get a handle on what it means - now that we have declared war. Mike - It sure doesn’t sound like the nation is of one mind on this!?[Mike Shuster]LINK:http://greatwarproject.org/2017/05/14/a-volunteer-army-or-the-draft/That was Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. War in the Sky Let’s take a look at the Great War in the sky one hundred years ago this week. Our story is about the first allied flying boat that managed to down a german Zeppelin.What IS a flying boat. Well It’s different from a pontoon sea-plane that has floats replacing or in addition to landing gear. Instead -  flying boats are like ship hulls with wings - they do have pontoons out on the wings for stability when they land and take off - but they are a very desirable concept because they can be big and use a really long distance to take off and land - this works because they don’t need a runway to operate them just a reasonably calm body of water.The Curtiss H series is America’s leading flying boat design in WW1 - In fact, you might remember a few weeks ago when Michael Lombardi boeing’s senior historian, told us about an early Boeing contract to build some Curtiss H series flying boats under licence.Well one hundred years ago this week, a canadian flyer Robert Leike is tooling on patrol around in the north sea near amsterdam with his flight commander John Galpin. It’s nasty and rainy weather and the clouds are low.  Around 4:45 am, the weather breaks and they spot a big german Zeppelin - The L-22 about 10-15 miles away.So they give chase to sneak up on her - the flight commander, Lt. Galpin gives Leike the controls and goes to man the twin Lewis Guns. They get to within half a mile before the zep spots them - but by then it’s too late. Leike dives down on her like a hawk as Galpin unloads an entire drum of incendiary bullets into the zeppelin - which catches on fire and crashes into the sea. The tiny wasp has stung the giant beast and prevailed.  It’s a win for the allies and the loss of a precious zeppelin for the Germans. Leike is given the distinguished service cross and Galpin the distinguished service order for their action one hundred year ago this week in the great war in the sky.LINK:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Leckie_(RCAF_officer)#World_War_Ihttps://www.junobeach.org/canada-in-wwii/articles/air-vice-marshal-robert-leckie/ The Great War Channel Let’s move on to our friends from the Great War Channel on Youtube. They have produced a library of over 400 videos - about WW1 - over the past few years. The videos provide detailed insights - as well as summaries and overviews - If you want to explore WW1 on video we recommend the Great War channel on Youtube - This week the new episodes include: One hundred years ago this week - The Macedonian Standoff - The Five Nation Army Is Repelled And another episode which is a special - shot on location in France with the dutch development team from the Battle of Verdun video game. They explore the validity (or not) of teaching about WW1 with video game technology. This is a really interesting discussion. Follow the link in the podcast notes.Link:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar World War One NOW We have moved forward into the present with WW1 Centennial News NOW  - News about the centennial and the commemoration.We will begin with some breaking news from the World War One Centennial Commission.As you know, surprisingly, there is no National WW1 memorial in our nation’s capital.We are very happy to report that on May 18, our concept and design for the National WWI Memorial at Pershing Park, in Washington DC received concept approval from Washington’s Commission of Fine Arts, the CFA - a body that needs to approve everything being built in the Nation’s Capital.You can check out the latest design and learn more about the project at link: ww1cc.org/memorialWe offer our congratulations to WW1 Centennial Commission Vice Chair Edwin Fountain, the designers of the concept Joe Weishaar and Sabin Howard and the WW1 memorial project team that have worked tirelessly to adapt the project vision to the input and requests of the CFA.Just in time for memorial day, we are now clear to proceed with our missions to honor the WW1 Doughboys with their own national memorial in Washington DC.

In this story about WW1 soldiers who, reluctantly at first, embraced embroidery as a therapy.Also known as “fancy work” - embroidery was widely used as a form of therapy for British and ANZAC soldiers wounded in the War – challenging the gendered construct of it - as “women’s work” . Themes of the soldiers’ embroidery ranged from military heraldry to scenes from the French countryside to pieces for their sweethearts.

Go to   ww1cc.org/369 - this is a project endorsed by the World War I Centennial Commission and sponsored in part by The Coca Cola Foundation. The project re-creates the Harlem Hellfighter’s 369th Regimental Band. The band originally consisted of 65 African American and Puerto Rican doughboys who charmed the hearts and minds of Americans and Europeans alike. It is said that they brought Jazz to Europe.Beginning last November, the program solicited freshmen and sophomore music students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other colleges and universities across America to enter a competition to be selected to join a re-creation of the 369th band.The band members have now been selected.And this past week it was announced that Dr. Isrea Butler, will lead the band as they retrace the steps of the original 369th, with performances at centennial celebrations in New York City; Brest and Paris in France; and a host of other historic locales. Dr. Buttler is currently the Director of Bands at The University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Both Mary Borden and Ellen Lamotte were field hospital nurses who witnessed some of WWI's worst casualties and went on to write about the experience. The post - discusses how many artistic works were censored after WWI because they seemingly portrayed the conflict, or the countries involved, in a negative light. Today, many of these previously censored works are considered among the best artistic representations of the war - in part - because of to the realistic way they painted a horrible, gory, corrupt, and anti-triumphant picture of combat and trench warfare.

If you've ever wondered how you might become an explorer for National Geographic believe it or not it can be as simple as attending a seminar. During the Banff Mountain Film Festival in a conference room at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada aspiring young explorers learn the ropes of turning their dreams of adventure into an assignment for National Geographic. Their works may land on television, on the web or the famous magazine with the bright yellow border. Carrie Regan, Vice president of specials development at National Geographic Television tells young photographers, writers and filmmakers what she wants to see and hear in a pitch. “In brief it's basically looking for great adventures, adventures with great payoffs, a great discovery,” Regan said. “Think about what the hook would be, what would make viewers when they tune in for the first 5 minutes say, ‘Oh, my God! I have to stick around and see if they're going to solve this mystery if they're going to accomplish this quest'.” For many, like those at this seminar, the dream of exploration began between the pages of National Geographic Magazine. Who can forget the image of early human ancestors discovered at Olduvai Gorge or the hunting eyes of the “Afghan girl” Sharbat Gula? Those vivid pictures and compelling stories have inspired people for generations to travel the world in search of adventure and scientific discovery. Since 1888 National Geographic has supported more than 10,000 expeditions to the most remote corners of the globe. And those gathered here want to be among the next group of explorers. In this seminar Regan encourages them to keep a few things in mind. ‘So really think about how this is going to be visually different,” she said “what great characters we have and what's that great payoff that will keep viewers tuned in.” Developing content across a variety of different media National Geographic is looking for new and exciting stories. Gregory McGruder, vice president of public programs at National Geographic also sits on the Expeditions counsel as well as the Young Explorers Grant counsel. He helps to pick from among the many projects that apply for support and funding. But he warns new applicants not to make up the social and culture significance the magazine is known for in their stories. He says just keep it real. “We've got really good radar for things that are shoehorned in kind of improperly,” McGruder said. “If it's something about adventure make it adventure. Don't add the cultural element as a tag-on. I mean the cultural element is fine, but it just has to be authentic.” It is this authenticity that adventure filmmaker and past National Geographic Younger Explorer Grant recipient Andy Maser brings to the magazine. Young Exploper Grantee Andy Maser Photo by Mark Christmas “I got a young explorer grant in 2009 for a project in Bolivia that blended climate change with white-water kayaking,” he said. Maser's project for National Geographic proposed to demonstrate through a paddling adventure how a warming planet might impact the availability of water in a major city like La Paz. “A lot of their water comes from melting glaciers that are rapidly receding because of climate change,” Maser said. “So we launched an expedition to study these glaciers and then paddle the rivers that flow with the melt waters of these glaciers.” Maser, who's now 26, pitched his expedition idea to National Geographic in consideration of a Young Explorers Grant. Now he's a professional adventure filmmaker. “Working with National Geographic it really opens doors. The young explorers grant is a small grant. It's only between $2,000 and $5,000,” Maser said. “But it's not necessarily the money that's the most valuable part of these small grants it's the people you meet and people you get to collaborate with and just the opportunities that you get by being associated with National Geographic.” (Learn more about Maser's Kayaking Bolivia project online: http://ngadventure...

Author and senior writer for National Geographic Magazine, Jennifer Holland, joined me in this episode to talk about her recently released book, Unlikely Friendships, which features 47 remarkable stories about unlikely animals becoming lifetime friends. I asked her about several of the stories in her new book including the one about the lion, tiger and bear that live together at Noah’s Ark Animal Rehabilitation Center. She also shared with me how she found out about these unlikely friendships, what she’s learned from the stories in her book and what she hopes readers will learn from reading the book. So, if you want to find out more about these amazing friendships between animals of all types, or if you’ve seen either of the National Geographic Television specials, which were based on this book, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode.
