See the exclusive behind the scenes footage where Les talks about the troubles of shooting by himself in the wilderness. No food, no shelter, no fresh water, no tools... no camera crew. One man alone in the wild embarks on a 7-day adventure with only his wits and stamina to sustain him. Each episode finds filmmaker and survival expert Les Stroud abandoned in a remote location with little more than the clothes on his back. Les tests the limits of his own survival skills, and sometimes those of his son Logan. __ Subscribe to Travel and Escape on YouTube: http://bit.ly/16YExY3 Your Adventure Starts Here: http://travelandescape.ca/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/travelandescape/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TravelAndEscapeTV Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/travelandescape/

It's always nice to film a powerful locomotive lashup, and on this occasion I was rewarded with four "SCT class" locomotives on the Perth to Melbourne Specialised Container Transport (SCT) as it passed through the rural landscape near Little River (Victoria). Each SCT class locomotive can deliver 4300Hp for tractive effort, giving this train of boxcars and container wagons over 17000Hp! . PoathTV - Australian Trains, Railways & Railroads

Italian restaurant known for pastas and pizzas. Address San Martín 975 Ciudad de Buenos Aires Phone/Contact Info +54 11 4311-0312 Timings/Hours 12 pm until late night Other Information Reservations at Filo recommended for dinner Pizza always available In the nieghborhood of Raytito, just steps away from Porta Maraydo, you can find this resturant Filo. Opened in 1994, it was one of the first resturants in Buenos Aires to offer authentic Italian cusine. "The name Filo was chosen by one of the founders. It was accepted because in Venice "Filo" means to rest from work. So, what are we doing tonight? Let's go to Maria's to do "Filo", let's go to Jose's to do "Filo"." The decorations are influenced by famous modern artist. "The are shown in Filo is very good. It is what makes the place what it is. Informal, but also elegant." "We wanted to do something different, we wanted to cook not only Italian food but Venetian Italian food. We are Italians from Venice, and we have tried to trasmit this philosophy." Its specialities are pizzas from a wood burning oven and pastas. This pizza just came out of the oven and it is called Lyksotika. We have a cheese and tomatoe base. Yellow, red and green pepper as well as heart of tong. This dish is called pasta la boozara and it has shrimp, a tomatoe and parsley sauce and it is delicious spegetti. "I am very conservative, I love pastas. And here the pastas are the specialty of the house. The prices are very reasonable for downtown and the service is great." Because this is Argentina no resturant would be complete without a beef plate. However, in Filo the beef is cooked in the European style. The beef is completed in a pan and the potatoes are boiled in milk before being mashed. Filo's opens from noon until the last person leaves late at night. Pizza and pinaenae are always available. "We are chosen by people who work in downtown for lunch as well as tourists. I will say goodbye to you with a drink called a "spritz" which is from the North of Italy. It has white wine, flavoring and soda water. Cheers! To good times." I am Veronica De Aboitiz, showing you Buenos Aires.

Main downtown area of Buenos Aires that includes Casa Rosada among other attractions. Other Information: Attractions at Plaza de Mayo: Casa Rosada and Obelisk Plaza de Mayo has been the center of Argentina's history. It is the site where many of the country's largest demonstrations have taken place. Protests, during the economic unrest of 2001 took place here. Remember the movie Evita with Madonna? That is the balcony where the real Evita, or Eva Peron, would appear with her husband, Juan Peron. Behind me is the obelisk built where the Argentine flag was raised for the first time. This is one of the city's major icons. Today this is the spot where city festivities take place. The national football team comes here traditionally to celebrate its victories. Guess how long it took to build this thing. 50 years? 10 years? 5 years? No, it actually took a mere 4 weeks to put this thing together. Pretty remarkable, eh? This is the widest avenue in the entire world, six lanes each way for your driving pleasure. Named Nueve de Julio for the country's independence day which was July 9th, 1816. Due to its width, close to 150 meters, it takes close to two to three lights just to cross the avenue. If you cross this avenue just 12 times, you have already done a mile. "We know that it is the widest Avenue in the world, we carry it in our hearts." I am Kristina Renee, showing you Buenos Aires.

Etiquette Tips, Buenos Aires - Argentina Travel Guide Eating in the streets not advisable and other etiquette tips for Buenos Aires. What are some of the local customs in Buenos Aires? Take a look! Kissing on the cheek is common, even when meeting someone for the first time. This goes for men as well. Do not be surprised to find Argentines standing close to you while having a conversation. Female visitors should not be surprised to get compliments on the street as it is very common and often harmless. Even though Argentines are super friendly, they like to meet in bars or cafes if they are the host. Argentines like to dress up. When headed out, be sure to dress smartly. Eating on the street, is not considered polite. Argentines start their evening later. Nine or later if you are going to dinner and if you are hitting the night spots, things get going around Eleven. If you are given a gift, open it right away. Ten percent tipping is considered acceptable and taxi drivers do not expect a tip unless they do a special service like picking up your luggage. Mate, an herbal tea, is a very common drink in Argentina. It is served in a special cup, called a Mate, and a special straw is used to drink it. There is an entire ceremony surrounding the drinking of Mate. One person prepares the tea by pouring water in, then it is passed around. At first the taste might be very bitter and it takes some getting used to. I am Gigi Sehr, showing you Buenos Aires.

Middle school students from around the globe learned how to identify life on Mars http://goo.gl/EbwKWb during the NASA, ECA Collaboratory, and Google Mission Mars Virtual Field Trip. #MarsFieldTrip Transcript: [♫ Inspirational background music ♫] Lisa May (Program Executive, NASA): The Mission To Mars Virtual Field Trip is a great way to bring classrooms together as if we were on a real field trip together, investigating something and learning about something new and magnificent. And we are really fortunate that we are able to share the excitement of Mars by taking classrooms around the world with us on our journey to Mars. James Green (Director of Planetary Science, NASA): It's a wonderful opportunity for us to be able to partner with the State Department and Google in a unique form that allows us to tell everyone about what we do. So what we did is we were connected over a virtual network with schools all around the world and having local students come by gave us the opportunity to get them excited see things and hear things from NASA scientists like they have never had that opportunity before. Tyshoun (8th Grade Student Participant, Kramer Middle School): We were chatting with people, kids all around the world about the NASA experience on the road to Mars and how Obama is going to send people to Mars in 2030 to see if there was ever life on Mars. Rosalind Daniels (8th Grade Science Teacher, Kramer Middle School): When I heard about this program I was so excited because it will allow the students to have a real life example of how we can interact with things going on in Space. So I feel like this is a great opportunity for them to expand their learning and become more interested in things going on in Space. Andrew (6th Grade Participant, Kramer Middle School): What was cool is that I got to talk to an expert of science. Leilani (8th grade participant, Kramer Middle School) : I asked a question and they will answer it and I know a whole lot of new things in less than one minute. Sharia (7th grade participant, Kramer Middle School): Because it is more interactive instead of just the teacher standing there and telling you. It's more interactive because you have other opinions not just one persons. Lisa May: Certainly kids of this age really crave a connection and to feel like they are a part of something bigger and it gives them that larger perspective and compatriots around the world that they can connect with. Andrew: Because maybe one of the other countries could have helped me out with questions that I didn't know and I will learn about it. Rosalind: I have a lot of students that are interested in robotics, they want to be engineers. I hope they understand that this is something that they can do. I am just hoping that by this experience their eyes will open and they will become more interested in this field. [♫ Inspirational background music ♫] Cinematography & Editing by Kelsey Brannan.

Malba Museum, Buenos Aires - Argentina Travel Guide See the famous 20th and 21st century artworks of Latin American artists. Website www.malba.org.ar/web/ Address Avda. Figueroa Alcorta 3415 Buenos Aires, Argentina Phone/Contact Info 54 (11) 4808 6500 info@malba.org.ar Other Information Showcases Constantine Collection Buenos Aires is one of the best cities in Latin America for museum going. And MALBA is one of its rising stars. MALBA, or El Museo de Arte Latin Americano en Buenos Aires, contains a Costantini Colección. It is one of the newest museums in Buenos Aires, opened in 2001. "The collection has a selection of around three hundred works from Latin American art of the 20th century and also of the 21st century. Artists from different countries especially from Argentina, from Brazil, Mexico, Chile. Some of the Artists' creative works were quite controversial at the time. One of the highlights the museum has is the work of Fernando Botero, the Columbian Artist. "The Widowers" it presents a portrait of a family, a bushwa family. This is the only work of Frida Kahlo that people ought to see in a permanent collection in Argentina. It is a self-portrait of Frida made in 1942 and it is a portrait that presents some of the usual elements that are used in her works. For example, her connections to the ideas of motherhood, the traditions of Mexico, the popular culture. This work called "Demonstration" was painted by Antonio Berni. In this case he presents this image that is quite influenced by mural painting in a way to try to depict the movement, this proactive movement that the population of Argentina was experiencing at that time. This is the work of Candido Portinari, and artist from Brazil. He also decided to present the social and also the political reality of his country in the 30's. The work that was presented a few years ago in a really controversial exhibition that was presented here in Buenos Aires. The tenor of the work is the Christian and Western Civilization and it is a work that criticize some of the platforms and main concepts that stand up all the Western society. It is also a place where we present other types of activities. Cinemas has a very important place here. We exhibit a lot of films from young directors and we also restore and preserve some old classics. Literature has an important place within conferences, book presentations and also the educational programs here are dedicated to a variety of public, not just kids but also adults, seniors, people that have special needs." What do we need to know about the museum that we have not learnt yet?" "That Tuesday is closed. And if you are a student and you present your ID you have free admission and also Wednesday is free for everyone." Wednesdays are free! Great! I am Ande Wanderer showing you Buenos Aires.
