　　《天梯：蔡国强的艺术》是当今世界最重要艺术家之一蔡国强的首部电影纪录片。既是一个从中国出发、成为具国际影响力艺术家的励志故事，也体现着新时代中国人的追求和精神。
　　本片由奥斯卡金奖导演凯文·麦克唐纳（Kevin Macdonald）耗时两年，从纽约、布宜诺斯艾利斯、上海、北京、浏阳到家乡泉州，遍访艺术家的工作现场及其亲友、工作伙伴和专家，无限度深入蔡国强的工作和生活，并从数千小时的珍贵历史影像素材撷取精华，讲述蔡国强 80 年代从泉州出发，30 年来在五大洲不同文化间成长，并走向国际舞台成为享誉全球的爆破艺术家。纪录片中也揭露他壮观艺术背后的另一个真实—内心的脆弱、挣扎、妥协，和对家人、故乡、祖国土地深厚内敛的家国情怀。
　　影片主线《天梯》—— 一座500米高的金色焰火梯子嘶吼着拔地而起，与无垠宇宙对话。这是蔡国强少年时代仰望天空、摸云摘星的梦想，二十多年来在世界不同地方屡试屡败，却从未放弃。2015年6月黎明，泉州小渔村惠屿岛海边，在国内技术专家和当地数百村民的帮助和见证下，他再次一搏，把《天梯》作为献给百岁奶奶和家乡的礼物……

　　A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
　　For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
　　Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
　　The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
　　But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.

巴黎的国家自然历史博物馆有个特别区域——进化长廊。这里摆放着各种兽类骨架，包括在几十万年前，彻底灭绝的巨兽猛犸。约25万年前，长毛猛犸还在地球上漫步，可是大约1万年前，最后的猛犸消失在西伯利亚。它们灭绝的原因到底是什么？经过不断迁徙和进化适应的巨兽，为何会莫名其妙地不见了？世界知名的“猛犸先生”、古生物业余爱好者迪克·摩尔也想知道猛犸灭绝背后的真相，并寄希望于发掘的猛犸化石……

　　What we know today about many famous musicians, politicians, and actresses is due to the famous work of photographer Harry Benson. He captured vibrant and intimate photos of the most famous band in historyThe Beatles. His extensive portfolio grew to include iconic photos of Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, and Dr. Martin Luther King. His wide-ranging work has appeared in publications including Life, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker. Benson, now 86, is still taking photos and has no intentions of stopping.

　　Professor Mary Beard, renowned classicist and TV historian, is to explore what life was like in one of the world’s most extraordinary and iconic archaeological sites, in Pompeii: Life Before Death, a new landmark programme for BBC One.
　　Mary Beard – a world Pompeii expert and author of Pompeii: Life Of A Roman Town – will be joining an international team as they bring the very latest technology to bear on this most extraordinary of archaeological sites.
　　Mary Beard says: “This is a really exciting chance to find out more about the ordinary people who lived in ancient Pompeii. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm hoping we're going to unlock some if the secrets about who the people were.”
　　For the first time, a team is CT scanning and fully investigating the world-famous casts of the bodies to analyse the skeletons trapped within, to ascertain all they can about who they were, where they came from and how they lived. A team is also conducting DNA analysis of the bodies for the first time.
　　Elsewhere, the documentary will follow the work of recovering damaged frescoes and mosaics, the excavation and rebuilding of certain key buildings and the organisation and cataloguing of the thousands of astonishing artefacts in the storerooms – from loaves of bread to pet monkeys, paint pots to purses. It will shine a light on the work of archaeologists who are exploring the third of the town that has never been excavated, and will present a unique first look at the complete Pompeii in stunning CGI.
　　Using the evidence gleaned from all this research, the BBC One film will piece together a full picture of daily life in Pompeii before the town was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD79.

自从人类开始耕种作物以来，和害虫之间的战争就一直在持续。化学杀虫剂高效便捷，对害虫有很大的抑制作用，因而被广泛使用于各农田。但是人类慢慢发现，化学杀虫剂对人类自身及环境都是有害的，因而人类想研制出新的方案，对抗害虫，所以便有了生物防治法。它主要是用引入天敌的方式来杀死害虫，不仅无害，而且已经取得了重大进展。但是引入天敌之前也需要非常小心，需要做大量的事前调查，以充分判断该天敌是否真的适合被引入，会不会带来其它反效果。为了实现自然和生物和谐共处这一目标，人类正在不懈努力着，探索着。
