After Porn Ends, is a documentary that not only examines the lives and careers of some of the biggest names in the history of the adult entertainment industry but what happens to them after they leave the business and try and live the "normal" lives that millions of other Americans enjoy. They hailed from the rural South, steel towns, and the San Fernando Valley. As teenagers, and young adults, none of them thought that porn was in their future. They were artists, baseball players, child prodigies, and even Ivy Leaguers. Now, after their lives in porn they're TV stars, bounty hunters, writers, and social activists. What happened in between? And now that they've moved on, can they really live a normal life after porn? Written by Bryce Wagoner
近年英國氣候越發極端，颶風頻頻來襲，2013年冬天更錄得有史以來最高的降雨量。超強寒流的來襲，亦曾令英國以往的冬天錄得攝氏零下22度的低溫。 英國廣播公司（BBC）科學紀錄片《地平線》（Horizon）系列的《天氣反常了？》，由物理學家Helen Czerski和氣象學家 John Hammond主持，為你詳細講解高速氣流（jet stream）與英國反常氣候的關係。
Episode 1 - Ark of the Covenant The hunt for the truth about the most famous lost treasure of them all. Did the Ark of the Covenant really exist? What it did look like? What was the power that it was said to hold? And what happened to it? Where is it now? Episode 2 - Bust of Nefertiti The extraordinary story behind one of the most famous images from the ancient world. Who was Queen Nefertiti? Who made the blue-crowned bust which turned her into a modern icon? Could the Nefertiti bust be a fake? Episode 3 - Great Pyramid Armed with a four and a half thousand year old diary, and a radical new approach. Engineer Peter James and leading archaeologist Mark Lehner set out to solve Ancient Egypt’s greatest mystery. How was the Great Pyramid built? Episode 4 - Easter Island Heads Unlocking the mysteries of the most recognizable statues on earth. How were the thousand giant stone heads of Easter Island made, and why? Why did the Islanders topple all of them, except one? Episode 5 - Blackbeard's Ship Off the coast of North Carolina, nautical archaeologists, historians and scientists study the artifacts of a 300 year old shipwreck. Positively identified as Blackbeard’s flagship, our investigators set about to uncover what the ship’s remains can tell us about history’s most notorious pirate. Episode 6 - Spear of Destiny In a search that spans four countries and 20 centuries, we investigate the legend of the Spear of Destiny. First mentioned in the New Testament, the spear is said to have pierced the side of Jesus. Believed to have special powers, kings and conquerors from Charlemagne to Hitler tried to possess it.
创世大爆炸之前是什么样的？答案或许在黑洞中。
人们总说宇宙很大，但是它到底有多大？科学家制定了一项雄心勃勃的计划，要画出一幅完整的宇宙地图。然而在可观测宇宙中，有1700亿个类似银河系的星系，不单这些星系在移动，整个宇宙也并非静止不动，甚至有科学家认为，在我们的宇宙以外，还存在着无数个宇宙。究竟宇宙有多大？怎样才能画出它的全貌？研究人员借助最先进的天文观测设备，调动整个小镇的普通居民展开人工作业，以事实验证前人的理论，并得出了震惊世界的结论。
一年四季，无论春夏秋冬，农民们在广袤的土地上不间断的播种、浇地、施肥、除草、防涝防旱、收获买卖，以最平实接地气的方式去记录发生在大地上农民的劳作过程、农作物的生长变化，以及忙中偷闲的碎语时光，并与天地之间的鸟鸣虫啼、蓝天风雪共同形成一幅幅动人的风景画，愿你我都在此寻找到平静的时刻，获得继续向前的力量。 冬小麦和夏玉米的收获是华北地区庄稼人眼中最重要的收获季，以大多数家庭所有地为10几亩来计算的话，玉米和小麦收获大约都在14000—15000斤左右，买卖之后一共能收入四万多块钱（刨出去耕地播种、施肥打药、收割等雇佣机器的成本费用，实际挣得在手两万多块钱）；而大棚蔬菜作物其实已由之前的辅助经济作物转变为了比玉米小麦更为重要的经济收入来源，片中以菜椒为例，大约历经长达6个节气的照料生长成熟，一整棚菜椒上万余斤，价格好的话，农民能赚将近四万元。目前在村里主要的收入来源还是依赖于蔬菜大棚，所以在片中往后部分看到变更土地种植方式建大棚的场景，大概可能由于每个人生活环境和人生经历的不同，认识到土地对农民的重要意义也有不同程度的差异。
英国人爱树至深，如今，他们正票选出四大区最受欢迎的年度之树。入围的有：极具亲和力的叮咚树；独树一帜的布里蒙橡树；宛如比萨斜塔般的霍尔姆橡树；还有摄影师的宠儿——峡口梧桐。最终获胜的是布里蒙橡树，除了它们出类拔萃的外表，其中蕴含的深邃古韵更是令人为之倾倒。任何人都应该明白，我们的生活因为树木而更美好，它们不仅仅是保护环境的超级英雄，还深深地植根于我们的文化中，它们还是许多野生动物的家园，我们必须照顾他们，保护他们，不把他们视为理所当然的存在。让我们跟随奥汉隆带领我们一睹英国古树之芳华。
For two years BBC cameras have followed, Dr Sheperd Doeleman of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the work of the Event Horizon Telescope project team, a collective of the top scientific minds from around the world. The project combines radio observatories and telescope facilities from around the world to make up a virtual telescope with a diameter spanning the entire planet. This mega-telescope’s ultimate mission is to capture the first image ever of a black hole. Although the concept of black holes has been long assumed to be fact, the Event Horizon Telescope’s success would definitively prove the existence of this scientific phenomena for the first time – and provide clear visual evidence. The programme brings viewers into the laboratories, behind the computer screens and beside the telescopes of what may prove to be one of the great astrophysical achievements in human history.
They are in everything from computers to smartphones, from toasters to washing machines: Microprocessors are essential for so many consumer goods to function and now arguably underpin the world economy more than oil. When the pandemic hit it highlighted how much Western countries rely on the chip industry. Today Europe, America and China are involved in an intense commercial struggle to dominate this sector that is so strategic for the future. From Taiwan to Shanghai, via Brussels and San Francisco, investigative journalist Nicolas Vescovacci went to meet the most influential players in this microchip war, which is redefining world geopolitics.
