Middle East and North African countries need to invest $260 billion over the next five years for electricity production to meet rising demand, a report said on Tuesday.
The region, which includes oil heavyweights Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq, must make investments to add 117 gigawatts of power generation by 2022, Arab Petroleum Investment Corp. (APICORP) said, Arab News reported.
The Dammam-based energy development bank said $152 billion are needed for electricity generation and the rest for transmission and distribution projects.
It estimated that power capacity in the Middle East and North Africa, currently standing at 321 GW, needs to expand by 6.4% on average annually by 2022 to meet growing demand.
The six nations belonging to the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE — need to spend $89 billion to add 43 GW over the next five years, according to APICORP estimates.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia lead the way with investments projected to reach $33 billion and $21 billion respectively, it said.
Iran needs to add 25 GW of power to its current capacity of 77 GW with an estimated investment of $50 billion, according to the report.
Iraq, another oil-rich country, is required to invest $39 billion to add 12 GW of electricity by 2022, it said.
Egypt, the most populous country in the region, is estimated to need $46 billion of investments to add 22 GW of power to raise its capacity to 60 GW in 2022.
APICORP said countries in the region are increasingly resorting to clean energy sources like solar and nuclear to produce electricity.

Winemaker Notes
An 11 barrel blend from fruit sourced from the Home Farm and another top vineyard located in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Harvested 1st to 2nd November, 2016 at 26.8 and 23.7°Bx respectively. The must was fermented in small batch 1 ton bins with daily pigéage and malo-lactic fermentation. Pressed to seasoned (two to 10 year old) American and French oak barrels for maturation over a 14 month period before a series of blending trials were conducted to establish the best assemblage. Bottled with filtration for clarity, the wine was laid down for integration for 12 months.
Food Pairing Notes
Not surprisingly this Merlot is a great accompaniment for dishes made with dark meat - on the BBQ for summer (burgers with cheddar or blue cheese, steaks with BBQ sauce); pan-seared or oven roasted (with red wine sauces) in cooler weather. Or coq au vin made with chicken thighs, bacon, onion, mushrooms and red wine. And for gourmet cooks: Pan Seared Duck Breast with Blueberry Sauce or Grilled Flat Iron Steak With Blue Cheese Butter.

Up till now you have known France for its delicate flowers, heavenly chocolates and romanticism. Today we will introduce France from a totally different dimension, a capital of rock and pop, a stage of electronic house and festivals that will make your heat beat race with the drums.
After an extensive research and survey, we have shortlisted the best festivals that happen annually in France as well as international musical festivals which are scheduled to be held in France. When you are on tour here this year, you wouldn't want to miss any of these festivals.
Yes, you read it right, Tomorrow land is scheduled in France! From 14 to 21 March, 2020. It is perhaps the most awaited musical festival across the world which is going to be held in Alpe D'Huez. If you plan your vacation to France between these dates then get prepared to witness the purest form of hardcore electric music and festival lit by the vibe of positivity everywhere. Tomorrowland is an electronic dance music festival, which was first held in 2005 and ever since then it has become one of the world's largest and most notable music festivals. It stretches over 2 weekends and it usually sells out in minutes. If you get a ticket for you and your friends to attend tomorrow land, then you would be very lucky as the tickets are sold literally instantly, of this majestic festival.
It's a beautiful weekend which is full of flowers and confetti in the south of France. Festivals are a great excuse to travel around especially in Europe. Carnaval de Nice (as they say in French) goes on for an entire month, each year! So, there is no excuse not to visit this lovely corner of France in February or March. The dates of carnival depend upon the Easter holiday. This carnival sure reflects that French know how to throw a party, that's worth flying a thousand miles for.
It is one of the most unique music festivals hosted by France. It has the most unique venue, that is a 1600s UNESCO protected citadel. As its name suggests, Main square festival indeed does take place in the main square of the Arras Citadel, with one stage delivering the heat entire time. The coming year's headliners have already been announced. Music pioneers like DJ Snake, Christine and the Queens, Cyprus Hill, Martin Garrix, Macklemore, Ben Harper & the innocent criminals are all ready to excite you in the festival that will surely rock you. It is held on 5th July till 7th of July. So, if you are visiting France during this period of time, you would not want to miss this thrilling festival.
It's a top-line EDM and dance music festival on France's Mediterranean coast. Set across three days, Electrobeach is one of Frances primary music festival showcasing the world's greatest acts within the electronic world. This extravagant and larger than life musical festival is held in Port-Barcares in France. It is perhaps the most fastest growing music festival, delivering and even with ground-breaking production and inimitable festival vibe. If you are a fan of electronic music then missing out on this festival when you are in France, will be sheer stupidity as there will be a lot to regret.
It's a global favorite in the festival scene. Lollapalooza has made its mark in France over the past two years to an extent that its one of the most popular festivals in France! Lollapalooza Paris invites big names from a vast range of genres and many up-and coming's as well. This festival is not just famous for the music, but the delicious food that comes along with it. The past two editions of Lollapalooza Paris brought in superstars like The Gorilaz, The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the ever so beautiful Lana Del Ray, Depeche Mode, Travis Scott, Diplo, the creative Imagine Dragons, Kasabian and Parov Stelar. When names of such celebrities are on the list, not going to this festival while you are in France will be nothing but stupidity. Lollapalooza is held in Hipodrome de Longchamp, Paris, France.
As the name suggests, this festival is for those who seek insanity! It's an electronic genre-diverse festival taking place on the bank of a lake in small town of Apt. France. Previously, it used to be held in large indoor venues but now it has moved to an outdoor space. There is an especial reason that this festival is on our list of Itinerary to festivals in France, that is because it is the only festival involving all different aspects of the electronic music umbrella, and bringing fans together from every corner of the world. The past headliners have included Stephan Bodzin, Pendulum, Angerfist, Rodhad, Nastia, Patrick Topping, Ace Ventura, Astrix, Rodriguez Jr. Vini Vinci and Matador.

Toby was a Game of Thrones fan.
(Editor's note: There's a rumor that Alex Lancaster, the founder/Editor in Chief/Lead Writer for Poor Man's Spoiler, secretly has a Quasimodo-esque love child he keeps hidden away in some basement. This has never been proven, but if true, said child would likely have an opinion on films and entertainment. "Apple doesn't fall far from the tree," and all that. Today we bring you an article by Toby. We apologize.)
The finale starts with Dany sitting on the throne. Drogon is behind her, ever protective of his mother. Ash is gently falling down around the the line room, leaving everything to appear as though a wave of ice has covered the once sheltered enclosure. She is feeding on the charred remains of a baby or a puppy or something. It doesn't matter, whatever gets the point across that she has gone mad really quickly somehow despite the slow build up over eight seasons. It needs to feel so forced that Alabama thinks we've gone too far.
Jon Snow enters; he is brooding and clearly upset. "Dany, how could you do this? They were innocent!" He continues on for like, idk, five minutes…Dany laughs menacingly, "You know nothing Jon Snow! I am a Queen, and I am an icon, and-" A loud booming voice ruptures the very nature of their existence. "What is this shit? This is all wrong!" The scene cuts to darkness and HBO displays a message to remain calm. Their servers explode and forums run rampant with death threats and calls to arm. An HBO exec comes on the screen and reveals that they have no idea how this happened. Filming wrapped up weeks ago, and the actors' contracts are up. They don't even have to come back to finish the show if they don't want to. Outrage ensues.
Israel and Palestine have signed a treaty to cease their engagements until Benioff and Weiss are brought to justice. The thing is, no one has seen them in weeks…People are filled with a righteous fury and have no outlet to take their rage out on. They decide the rich will do. The revolution has begun. Months go by and anarchy has overcome most of the free world. Factions of armed militias and tribes have formed based on their favorite houses. JK Rowling even managed to pull a ton of Potterheads into her group, Dumbledore's Army 2.0, by stating that Harry's favorite house would have been the Baratheons. Also, Theon is Hagrid's son from another dimension.
The fighting goes on for months until a truce is called to combine their efforts into finding GRRM and D&D to finally learn how it was supposed to end. A quest for their new grail had begun. Nothing else mattered: skin color, sexual orientation, gender, political party–all of that was second to your house and your duty to the throne. No one could find them though. What they did find was a letter advising them to tune in to HBO for the season finale of Watchmen.
Panic ensued across the globe. No one had an HBO subscription any more; what was the point? Were they supposed to be excited for Euphoria? People squandered to collect enough of what what left of currency and electronics to purchase HBO subscriptions. The show began as normal and no one was really that impressed. Suddenly the feed cuts to one of D&D bound and gagged in an undisclosed location. They are bleeding and crying. It's clear Weiss has shit his pants.
From out of the shadows a portly figure appears. The portly man grabs the gag out of Weiss' mouth. "Tell them." Weiss was convulsing with tears and drool pooling across valleys of dried blood and snot. A hand smacks the absolute shit out of him as he falls to the ground still tied to the chair. "I'm not playing games you little bastard. Tell them! TELL THEM WHAT YOU DID TO ME."
Weiss waits silently. His mind is gone, and he can no longer be of any real help. "Fine." The portly man places the gag back and moves on to Benioff. "All I want is for you to tell them. Do this and it can all end today. You want that, don't you?" Benioff nods. The portly man removes the gag. "It started after season 1. Once we knew the show was going to be a success…Daniel and I knew you would never let it end. We drugged you and seduced you with so many finer things that you would be sedated long after we had jumped ship."
"You didn't want me to finish the books, did you?" Benioff shook his head. This surprises the portly man enough that the top of his head is revealed. He is wearing a cap. In less effort than it would take Barristan Selmy to slaughter the former Kingsguard, the portly man pulls a pair of pliers from his back pocket and grabs Weiss' tongue.
"Your turn, you dumb bastard. Tell them why your plan to keep me out didn't work." Weiss looks down at his hands. He starts, "Once we had run out of source material. We had to just wing it. HBO wanted it to keep going to as long as we could have it make sense…that lasted half a season." The portly man pulls out large stack of paper. On it is written The Last Book of A Song of Ice and Fire.
"You never thought to consult me?"
"We thought you would die! You were supposed to die you fat fuck-" Weiss yelps as the portly man backhands him.
"So you wanted to end the show but lacked the talent or brains to do it right. You think you can just end my show this way and run off to Star Wars? You think Kennedy can protect you from me?"
We still haven't seen the man's face, but it's clear he knows them. "This was supposed to be an allegory for global warming. This was supposed to wake them all up!" The man laughs. "The force clearly isn't with you boys…" He picks up a large sword that looks like Ice. The man's face is clear on screen. It's GRRM…except his face looks…off. He suddenly pulls his face off to reveal he was actually Al Gore the whole time. "This is how you subvert expectations. The fans send their regards." He chops of their heads and suddenly the show starts at the end of season 4, only it makes way more sense and the quality is second to none.
An HBO exec walks out and reveals that the spinoffs were really them allowing GRRM time to finish the book and hire someone better to continue making the show great. The internet explodes with glee, and Star Wars is delayed from digging more into their own grave. Everyone wins.

The List: A Readers Guide, Part III, The Need For Pants
OK. Now I am ready to pour you that glass of wine and discuss a few additional Pulitzer items. So go ahead and put me back on that bearskin rug because I'm clean now and no longer have bad coffee breath. Isn't that better? Yes, yes it is. Where was I? Oh yes, books. There remain a few Pulitzers worthy of mention simply because they stand out in some way. There are many books on the list that I have largely forgotten. They were forgettable. I know that because I look at them now on my shelf and all I can remember about them amounts to a rough sketch of the plot and main character(s). Actually, I'm not even sure if the plural "characters" even applies. Then there are the books that stand out, not so much for being particularly good or bad, but for just being memorable. Here's some.
Grab a cocktail…
The Stories of John Cheever (John Cheever): There are a few short story collections on the list. I'd say this one is the best (but they are all uneven). EVERYONE in this book is having, making, offering, or recovering from a drink. I'm not sure it is possible to get through these stories without being compelled to visit your liquor cabinet, fridge, flask, local keg party, or distillery. One story, "The Swimmer" really stuck with me. (Side Note: I was reading something completely unrelated to this book and someone mentioned this particular story. At first I congratulated myself on being so well read, but then I realized that the author mentioned it as if everyone knows this story. So I guess it's either famous or the author who mentioned it is an erudite jerk.)
I liked it until…
Foreign Affairs (Alison Lurie): I was loving this book. For my fellow academics out there perhaps you have read this one? It's right up our alley, professors on leave doing research, talk of tenure, and the relationships between colleagues, all that stuff we can relate to. It's a good book, in fact the first few chapters are fantastic. But then the plot takes a turn for the worst and characters start reacting to the situation in ways that just seem wrong. It pissed me off.
Too much of a good thing…
Andersonville (MacKinlay Cantor): OK, this is one of those books that cuts back and forth between multiple characters. The book is loooong and the problem is half of the characters don't really need to be there. I got bored with them. You find yourself reading about Civil-War-person-so-and-so wishing their part of the story would hurry the fuck up so you can get back to Intersting-Civil-War-Person.
The year the prize committee was stoned…
1981, A Confederacy of Dunces (John Kennedy Toole): This is a good book, no doubt about it. I would suggest you seek a little glaucoma treatment before reading it and just go with the flow. It requires a certain frame of mind.
I want to watch CSPAN now…
Advise and Consent (Allen Drury): This book is addictive. The writing is a little clunky in places and it's pretty pulpy. The entire book centers on the nomination of a new Secretary of State and all the political shenanigans that ensue. It made me want to watch CSPAN. Which I did and I enjoyed it. A special prize should be awarded for inspiring anyone to willingly watch CSPAN. So, good job Alan Drury.
Can I have the cheetos now?

I just wanted you to know that in my mind your Sexy Robe has a large oriental dragon applique stitched onto the back. This is in no way influenced by the fact that this guy I knew in college, you know the one who would always "accidentally" answer the door in his Sexy Robe, had dragons on ALL his clothes because they were a "symbol of vitality."ReplyDelete
Actually, it has a large cobra, the symbol of my dojo...Cobra Kai!ReplyDelete
Sweep the leg!ReplyDelete
P.S. Now that I think back I am pretty sure he said it was a "symbol of virility." How could I (shudder) have forgotten?
I bet the cologne fumes clouded your memory.ReplyDelete
I think I was just feeling a little faint from the residual swooning I did when he offered to do pull-ups while I sat on him or something.ReplyDelete

I hate to interrupt this sexy dialoguing that's happening here, but damn, I can't even describe the image I have of you on the run, dr. no;-)ReplyDelete
So, let me pour my glass of scotch, oh, I mean wine, and reply....
1. The Swimmer: I now dare you to rent the movie from Netflix. It's bad, but almost funny in its badness.
2. Foreign Affairs: that is almost EXACTLY what I remember about the book. In fact, I bought a used copy this summer intending to reread it as part of my academic fiction kick and never got around to it. Maybe now I never will. Instead: please read Richard Russo's Straight Man, the BEST academic novel ever. Ever.
3. And then I'll promise to read Drury (wasn't that a Masterpiece Theatre thing once upon a time?).
Thanks Dr. No! You may have cheetos now!
- AnonymousNovember 17, 2009 at 9:39 PM
rug,not run.ReplyDelete
Damn. Too much scotch. I mean wine.
Look at Dr. No, decking himself out all Hef for us and shit.ReplyDelete
Wine and cheetos...sounds like dinner to me!
I could not get through Dunces...obviously, that frame of mind escapes me.
Oh, so did we finally decide on "him" for Dr. No, or was there a reveal that I missed?ReplyDelete
"Reveal"- shudder.
The no-pants-till-afternoon gave that one away, though.
And what TKW said about Dunces. One of those books that I think I missed the cool train for.
Cheetos should arrive via Fed Ex for your next late-morning robe session.ReplyDelete
I read Dunces a LONG time ago--nearly 20-years ago, and I remember feeling as if I sort of liked it, but back then I was young enough to worry that if I didn't like it, then I must be stupid (since it was acclaimed), so I probably just told myself I liked it. I was very insecure about my literary tastes. I sort of still am, but I just don't care (as much) whether or not people think I'm stupid. I know that I'm prone to Philistinism. I can be provincial. But I grew up in Indiana in the 70s and 80s, so, you know.
I'm very curious about the plot twist in Foreign Affairs. I might have to read just to find out what Dr. No hated so much.
I, too, liked Straight Man.
Oooh, talk booky to me, Dr. No!ReplyDelete
"Dunces" was written by a New Orleanian (who's mother, so I heard, was much like the mother in the book) and set in New Orleans in and around the French Quarter during the 1960/70s. It wasn't just a frame of mind, it was a whole other state of existence. One with lots of booze and pills.
Annieem, my 10th grade teacher showed us that film. I would have actually read the story, but I slept through most of the movie. Because of that, until you corroborated its existence, I had thought that I had been having a particularly bad dream that day.
YEAH Cheetos! I'll put Straight Man on the reading list and be sure to never ever watch "The Swimmer" (I cannot fathom how that could be made into a movie- sounds awful).ReplyDelete
Dunces is an odd one, Clio nailed it with "a whole other state of existence" and it probably helps if you've spent some time in the Quarter. I could almost see Oscar Wao being in the same genre.
Oh, for GEW: I don't want to ruin Foreign Affairs for you (and parts of it are fantastic) but it's like a movie where you know something is up, something is just "off" with a character and when the big "reveal" happens you just think Whaaaat? Really? That?
- AnonymousNovember 19, 2009 at 2:27 PM
I actually showed the trailer of the film "The Swimmer" to my class after we read the story: they laughed so hard they cried: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIegoQAayFsReplyDelete
And now I'm going to reread Foreign Affairs, just because....
Whoa. I watched the trailer...what is that? Did I see Joan Rivers?!?ReplyDelete
OMG! That WAS Joan Rivers. With her original face.ReplyDelete
"A movie that will be talked about." Yeah, just not the way they intended.
You actually had to watch the movie? In school? Holy shit.ReplyDelete
Came to the party late (sorry, insanely busy week) and have to applaud all of you for going from Pulitzer prizes to Joan Rivers with her original face. You're SO my people.ReplyDelete
And I want a picture of that Cobra robe posted, stat! ;)
- AnonymousNovember 21, 2009 at 6:46 AM
A party with Judge Wapner at your digs, Joan Rivers v1.0 here, and a jar of Tang a la Witch is impossible to come late to, Ink.ReplyDelete
Have just been catching up with your posts. Two questions: 1)how often have you read fiction written by women that you enjoy? and 2) how often have you read fiction about women that you enjoy?ReplyDelete
That you read all the books on the list is impressive. That you stuck with books you really disliked is interesting. So, what's next?
Hey WR: I just read "The News from Paraguay" by Lily Tuck and loved it. But you know, looking at my favorite writers they are predominately male...I'm not sure why that is.ReplyDelete

Genome-wide expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping may reveal common hereditary
Genome-wide expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping may reveal common hereditary variants regulating gene expression. research we cross-linked eQTLs with both GWAS SNPs and differentially indicated genes for BMI. We discovered that BMI GWAS SNPs in 16p11.2 (e.g. rs7359397) are associated with several BMI differentially expressed genes in a manner (e.g. and eQTLs many and eQTLs remain unrecognized due to sample size limitations and cells specificity (Grundberg et al. 2012; Price et al. 2011). Further investigations are needed to solution additional questions such as are these or parts related to the heritability of gene manifestation and what is the proportion of variance in gene manifestation that can be explained by solitary or eQTLs? With this study we systematically investigated the heritability of the human being whole blood transcriptome using OSI-420 Framingham Heart Study (FHS) pedigrees. Our goals were three fold. First we explored the distribution of heritability of genome-wide gene manifestation levels using a large sample with well-defined prolonged pedigrees. Second we investigated how and eQTLs are related to transcript heritability levels. Third we wanted to understand how the genetic basis of gene manifestation relates to phenotype variations and disease susceptibility via and parts. To accomplish these is designed we estimated the overall heritability of approximately 18 0 genes in 5626 OSI-420 participants from your FHS and assessed the proportion of variance in gene manifestation that is attributable to and eQTLs. By cross-linking the eQTLs with GWAS results of metabolic qualities including body mass index (BMI) blood pressure (BP) and lipid qualities in the NHGRI GWAS Catalog (Hindorff et al. 2009) we found out trait-associated solitary nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that explain relatively large proportions of the genetic variance of multiple gene transcripts despite the fact that these SNPs only explain a small proportion of phenotypic variance for the same metabolic qualities. Last taking BMI as an example by cross-linking the eQTLs with trait-associated SNPs (GWAS SNPs (Hindorff OSI-420 et al. 2009)) we discovered that some GWAS SNPs are eQTLs of particular gene transcripts and may explain large proportions of variance in manifestation of these transcripts. TEK In addition some of the related eQTL gene transcripts display differential manifestation for BMI. Even though GWAS SNPs only explain a small proportion of phenotypic variance in BMI these differentially indicated eQTL related gene transcripts clarify a larger proportion of variance in BMI. Materials and Methods Study population description In 1971 the offspring and offspring spouses (offspring cohort N=5124) of the original FHS cohort participants were recruited and have been examined approximately every four years (except for the interval between examinations 1 and 2 with an intervening 8 years) (Feinleib et al. 1975). From 2002 to 2005 the adult children (third generation cohort N=4095) of the offspring cohort participants were recruited and examined (Splansky et al. 2007). A total of 5626 participants from your offspring (N=2446) and third generation (N=3180) cohorts were included in this study. Whole blood samples were collected in the eighth examination of the offspring cohort and the second examination of the third generation cohort. All participants provided written consent for genetic research. Gene manifestation profiling Fasting peripheral whole blood samples (2.5ml) in PAXgene? tubes (PreAnalytiX Hombrechtikon Switzerland) were collected and the Affymetrix Human being Exon Array ST 1.0 (Affymetrix Inc. Santa Clara CA) was utilized to measure mRNA manifestation levels genome wide (N=~18 0 genes). Details of the design sampling RNA isolation and mRNA measurement have been explained previously (Huan et al. 2013; Joehanes et al. 2013). All data used herein are available on-line in dbGaP OSI-420 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap; accession quantity phs000007). Genotyping and quality control DNA isolation and genotyping with the Affymetrix 500K mapping array and the Affymetrix 50K gene-focused MIP array have been explained previously (Levy et al. 2009). A total of 503 551 SNPs with successful call rate >0.95 and Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) P>10?6 were retained. Imputation of ~36.3 million SNPs in 1000 Genomes Phase 1 SNP data was conducted using MACH (Li et al. 2010). With this.

McCain Campaign Unveils Ayers-Obama Web Ad
A paid TV ad may be in the works.
A paid TV ad may be in the works.
Obama's modus operandi is to seek advice from people with differing points of view, one of the Democrat's many advisers says.
Very few folks are talking about Ayers' views on education - or asking whether Barack Obama shares those ideas.
There were no questions on school policy, but Barack Obama offered an idea on what priority education would be early in his administration.
The Volunteer State has grappled with education funding, curriculum issues, and implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act over the past year.
Is it enough to guarantee an invitation to a skybox at the 2012 Democratic Convention?
The National Education Association's on-the-ground campaign efforts appear to be mostly emphasizing health care over education issues.
To know which way the McCain campaign is hoping the political wind will blow, when it comes to the story of the Obama-Ayers connection.
Residents of Alaska's small villages and cities are fleeing their rural communities—and their local schools—for more urban Anchorage, where gas, heating fuel, and food are cheaper.
There wasn't a single question on schools during the vice presidential debate, but the candidates managed to sneak in some comments on education.

Living World : My Living World : Woodcock
Wildlife filmmaker Hannah Stitfall and wildlife film researcher Dom Davies enjoy a close encounter with one of our most mysterious birds, the woodcock, when they review another selection from the LIVING WORLD archive. The woodcock is a wader which spends most of its life in woodland where its wonderful mottled plumage makes it very hard to see, especially as they are nocturnal so most active at night. The population swells in winter when over a million more migrate here from Scandinavia and Russia in search of earthworms and insects which they probe from the ground with their long bills. Hannah and Dom also discuss another remarkable feature of these birds which is their strange roding flight call.
Living World : My Living World : Winter Flies
Where do flies go in winter and what happens to them? Wildlife filmmaker Hannah Stitfall and wildlife film researcher Billy Clark review another selection from the Living World archive to try and find out the answer. The original programme was recorded beside an icy pond in a woodland near Kidderminster where, with the help of pooters and 'ghostbuster gear', a surprising number of flies are discovered in winter including the stunning-looking dollies, best known for their metallic green sheen and long dancing legs!
Living World : My Living World : The Spined Loach
Keen naturalist Hannah Stitfall is joined by wildlife film researcher Dom Davies to review another programme from the LIVING WORLD archive. The subject today is Spined Loach - a fish you might never heard of because, whilst locally they are abundant, they are classified as a rare protected species and are only found in a handful of places in the UK. Also known as the Spotted Weather Loach because of their ability to detect changes in atmospheric or barometric pressure brought about by changes in the weather, they half bury themselves in fine organic sediment at the bottom of rivers or lakes during the day and then at night sieve the sediment, eating small shrimps and ejecting the mud and sand through their gills. As Hannah and Dom discover, these little fish also have some amazing survival techniques which enable them to survive low oxygen levels, whilst the spines which protrude from under their eyes are thought to help ward off predators.
Living World : My Living World : Jackdaw Roost
In this episode from 2011 Joanna Pinnock wonders what makes jackdaws roost together, and to find out more heads to the Cambridgeshire countryside with corvid scientist Dr Alex Thornton. Arriving in the dead of night they await one of nature's spectacles, of thousands of jackdaws simultaneously leaving their night roost in a cacophony of sound. It is one of those winter spectacles often overlooked but rivalling any in the natural world. So what is actually going on here? For Hannah and Billy this gives them the opportunity to discuss corvid activity. Science is beginning to unravel the biology and social intelligence of corvids, recently dubbed feathered apes, but there is a lot still to learn about these familiar if mysterious jackdaws. If the morning was a spectacle, how will that compare with the evening gathering at the roost; some roosts have been recorded in the Domesday Book and are still being used centuries later?
Natural Histories : Aye-Aye
Think sprite or hobgoblin and you are nearly there when it comes to the Aye-Aye, surely one of the weirdest looking creatures on earth? With its large saucer-like eyes, massive ears, and long skeletal middle finger which its uses to tap for grubs on logs, this lemur both fascinates and terrifies us. Endemic to the forests of Madagascar, some local people believe that if one looks at you, someone in your village will die. They even hang up an aye-aye on the edge of the village in some areas to ward off evil spirits. We are responsible for the demise of the aye-aye in other ways; by destroying the forests on which it depends. But as we hear, get up close to an aye-aye and you'll meet one of the most alluring and watchable mammals on the planet. Not merely a creature in close harmony with its disappearing world, but as Brett Westwood and Verity Sharp discover an ambassador for conservation which still has us in its thrall.
Natural Histories : Pigeon
The relationship between humans and pigeons is one of the oldest on the planet. They have been our co-workers; delivering messages, assisting during the war, providing a source of food, a sport and obsession for many, and a suitable religious sacrifice. They helped Darwin with his theory of Natural Selection, have become a powerful symbol of peace and helped us unravel some of the mysteries of navigation. Yet many of us still regard them as vermin, as "rats with wings". Brett Westwood and Verity Sharp probe into this paradox, and explore how pigeons have helped us and what they can reveal about the homing instinct and what it means for us to feel at home

Tadelakt Living Areas
Why use tadelakt for my kitchen, dining room or bedroom?
Tadelakt is the ultimate lime plaster finish that can be applied throughout the home. The growing popularity of Moroccan tadelakt plaster with interior designers, architects and home renovators means that traditional tadelakt techniques are no longer reserved just for areas that require waterproofing such as bathrooms and shower rooms.
Whether you are looking to redesign your entire home, overhaul an apartment or remodel a kitchen, bedroom or hallway tadelakt provides a unique, luxurious look. Tadelakt works especially well in living areas with lots of natural light. The polished tadelakt texture glistens as it reflects the light adding a sense of space and brightness to kitchens, dining areas, hallways and stairwells.
The burnished tadelakt texture is created by skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques to create a polished finish that is smooth to the touch. It is also an entirely natural material using only lime plaster, olive oil soap and natural pigments which means that it is free from planet harming chemicals found in many modern paints and other building materials.
Tadelakt is ideal for splash areas in kitchens, it can also be combined with traditional lime plaster and painted walls to create a stunning look in bedrooms and dining rooms. It is incredibly versatile, it can be used to curve around any surface to create architectural features, shelves and countertops.
How do I decide if tadelakt is right for my living area?
Our team of tadelakt specialists have worked on hundreds of projects to create living spaces inspired by contemporary designs, traditional architecture and everything in between. Some of our clients are looking for simple natural spaces, others ask us to work to elaborate designs. From your initial contact with Decor Tadelakt through to the finished project we are always available to provide expert advice and offer inspiration.
Is tadelakt easy to apply?
One of the many appeals of tadelakt is that it is still relatively rare. That's because the skills required to expertly apply tadelakt take years of disciplined practice to acquire. Tadelakt plastering is a craft that requires meticulous attention to detail, an acute understanding of the properties of the material and how it interacts with its environment. That is why each and every tadelakt project results in a superb, distinctive finish.
Which tadelakt colours are available?
Traditional tadelakt colours are inspired by the natural tones of Morocco. We can match our tadelakt to almost any shade from the warm browns and yellow ochres of the desert to the brilliant reds of Marrakech and vivid cobalt blues of the Atlantic coast. Our most popular colours can be seen throughout our portfolio including warm greys and beige, stone-like taupes, dusty pinks and charcoal greys. We can also match any custom colour to transform your living space.
Why choose Decor Tadelakt for your living space?
- Our attention to detail is second to none, we are proud tadelakt artisans and experts in tadelakt techniques.
- Since training with traditional tadelakt craftsmen in Morocco we have specialised solely in tadelakt.
- We have created countless beautiful living spaces using tadelakt. Browse our incredible portfolio of projects to inspire ideas for remodelling your home.

We were only for 36 hours in Moab, 1 day 2 nights. We wanted to do the musts seen/do, but it's a lot to do in such a short time. So in our bucket list was to mountain bike and see the famous Arches.
In our short day, we woke up early about 6 am, got our stuff together (sports clothing, cameras, food to picnic, filled out our water bottles) and went for breakfast. Thomas was craving Denny's so we went there for a full american bkfts: pancakes, eggs, bacon, fruits, and of course coffee.
After that 'a-lot-of-food' we went to rent some bikes. There are many spots to rent bikes in Moab, but we went to Poison Spider Bikes. It is Disneyland for a mountain biker.
For aprox $50us each, we got brand news double suspenssion bikes. Fit them into the car and went to Dead Horse Point National Park (we'll post it later on in a different story).
After spending half a day biking, we head back to Moab to return the bikes. We went to the market and buy some more food and some beers to spend the rest of the day / night at the Arches.
Arches National Park it's a big pak at about 15 km from Moab. It's so big that you'll need more of a day to see it majors "attractions" as the petrified dunes, the tight canyons you can walk inside, the devils garden, the famous Balanced Rock, and of course the Delicate Arch, among other many arches.
It is the national park with more natural arches, which are erosioned rocks.
After making some stops to skate a bit, throw some arrows, see the Balanced rock, etc etc, we arrived to where the Delicate Arch trail starts. It was around 6:30 and we wanted to arrive before sunset, which was about 7:15pm. It is a aprox 3km hike which because of its terrain it takes about an hour to hike up. We didn't want to miss the sunset and made it a 30 min hike, and got up there for show time :).

Rod Rosenstein job on the line – US media
US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is heading to the White House amid reports he is expecting to be fired.
It follows a report that America's second most senior law official talked last year about ousting Mr Trump and secretly recording him.
In a radio interview aired on Monday, Mr Trump said he had not decided whether to fire Mr Rosenstein.
Mr Rosenstein oversees special counsel Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia inquiry.
If Mr Rosenstein did lose his job, another Department of Justice official, the solicitor general, would be in line to take over supervision of the investigation into whether there was any collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign before the 2016 election.
Mr Rosenstein assumed oversight of the inquiry after his boss, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, recused himself when it emerged he had been in contact with Russia's ambassador to Washington while serving as a Trump campaign adviser.
The 25th Amendment: Could it be used to unseat Trump?
A source close to Mr Rosenstein said "he's expecting to be fired" and had verbally resigned to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Axios reported on Monday.
But according to NBC News, Mr Rosenstein said he would not step aside and the White House would have to fire him.
On Friday, the New York Times reported that Mr Rosenstein had discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke a US constitutional clause that provides for the removal of a president if deemed unfit for office.
According to the newspaper, the deputy attorney general had also suggested surreptitiously taping the president in order to expose the chaos in the White House.
Mr Rosenstein denied the claims, and a Department of Justice spokesperson told the BBC the secret recording remark was just a joke.
The deputy attorney general was said to have made the remarks after Mr Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.
Without Rosenstein, Russia inquiry in doubt
Analysis by Anthony Zurcher, BBC Washington
If Rod Rosenstein is out, by resignation or firing, the future of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation is very much in doubt.
Mr Rosenstein is the reason there is a special counsel investigation, and he has given Mr Mueller a wide mandate to pursue that inquiry wherever it may lead.
It has resulted, for instance, in the successful prosecution of former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and a plea deal from Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen – both for activities tangential to the Russia probe.
A different person in charge might have nipped those moves in the bud.
Whoever takes over for Mr Rosenstein – at the moment, Solicitor General Noel Francisco – could decide to curtail the scope of the investigation or push for a speedy resolution.
At the very least, Mr Francisco will assume the oversight duties knowing full well the president is watching very closely and has no hesitation going on the attack – even against members of his own administration – if he feels in any way slighted or wronged.
As Mr Rosenstein will surely attest, it is an unenviable position in which to land.
Mr Trump – who was in New York on Monday for a meeting of the UN General Assembly – was asked about the deputy attorney general in a radio interview recorded over the weekend.
"We will make a determination," Mr Trump told Fox News in the interview, which was broadcast on Monday. "It's certainly a very sad story."
"I haven't gotten all the facts, but certainly it's being looked at in terms of what took place – If anything took place," the Republican president added.
"And I'll make a determination sometime later, but I don't have the facts."Sean Hannity, a Fox News host and friend of Mr Trump, has urged him to not fire Mr Rosenstein, warning he would fall into a trap laid by his political enemies.
Andrew McCabe, the former acting director of the FBI who was fired by Mr Trump in March, said on Monday that he was "deeply concerned" about rumours of Mr Rosenstein's departure.
In a statement, Mr McCabe said he "sacrificed personally and professionally" to protect the special counsel's investigation and that if Mr Rosenstein leaves "it puts that investigation at risk". BBC

Many educational institutions and organizations require applicants to write an admission essay during the selection process. These essays need to reflect the character of the candidate and they need to convey the goals and aspirations of the candidate to the college or university. Who Invented homework
The following tips will help you to write a strong admission essay and increase your chances of being admitted.
An admission essay lets you put your visions, thoughts and opinions into your own words, giving the reader a good idea about the kind of person you are. In addition, it gives an insight into your thought process and, to some extent, your aptitude. Essay typer
The admission authorities use these essays to learn more about you. In some cases, it may be used as the deciding factor when it comes to selecting or rejecting an applicant. Topics that are frequently used are:
* How have you grown and developed over the years?
* How is a degree essential for the realization of your goals?
* What are your dreams for the future and how do you plan to achieve them?
* Describe your most rewarding experience.
* What are your career aspirations?
The above are just some of the topics that could be asked in an admission essay. There are many others and sometimes the college or university may ask you just to write about yourself and your goals.
Whatever the topic, there are a few pointers to writing an admission essay that will stand you in good stead. Most essays are of a 500-word count, so make sure that your essay has four paragraphs at a minimum. Once you choose the topic, take some time to gather your thoughts so that you can structure how you are going to write about it. Write my Essay
Start your essay with an introduction to your chosen topic and make sure your introduction is crisp, clear and lets the reader know exactly what to expect as they read through your essay. Keep your admission essay focussed, while engaging the reader and making them want to read the rest of your essay.
After the first paragraph, move on to the body of the essay. Keep in mind that the paragraphs in the body have to relate to the introduction. You can and should use real life examples here to give more detail on the topic you have chosen.

A group of some 100 lawmakers from Japan's ruling party denied that Japanese troops massacred Chinese during its 1937 capture of Nanking (now Nanjing) after a month-long review, AP reported. "We are absolutely positive that there was no massacre in Nanking," Toru Toida, a group member, said. The group's head, Nariaki Nakayama, said Japanese government archives showed 20,000 people were killed in the 1937 attack – not the 150,000 to 200,000 deaths that are usually cited. Therefore, Nakayama said, the death toll "was nothing more or less than the death toll that would be expected in a normal battle." He also accused Beijing of citing higher figures for propaganda reasons. This year is the 70th anniversary of the incident, which remains a sensitive subject between the two countries.

By Still Standing Contributor Amelia Kowalisyn of Emma's Footprints
Many people, even friends or family can be confused as to how hard parents who have experienced infant loss grieve.
They may not understand how someone can miss a child who was with them for such a short period of time. How they can grieve so hard for someone, they barely knew.
When you become pregnant there's that immediate glimmer of hope that this pregnancy will go all the way, that in just mere months you will have a child in your arms, you'll kiss their sweet cheeks, count their precious fingers and toes, that they will come home with you.
You dream of what they will look like, who they will be. You look forward to birthdays, holidays, watching them take their first steps, play sports, and all of those in-between moments that we all imagine with rose-colored glasses.
But when you lose a child, when you hold a baby in your arms as you say goodbye, as they take their last breath, all of that is gone. Every ounce of hope, every dream, every prayer for them to be the person you had waited for is ripped from you.
My daughter was with us for 23 days. She lived, she breathed, I rocked her in my arms as I read to her and sang to her. I prayed over her, for her, for us.
We dressed her in cute little clothes, we changed her, bathed her, we experienced what life was with her. And then we lost her.
She existed. But even if we hadn't had that time with her, if she had passed away while I carried her, she still would have been just as important to us.
We would have loved her just the same. She is our child.
She is our daughter.
She is a part of our hearts forever.
For those parents who haven't lost a child, think about it. Your baby, who you carried, loved, and were so excited to meet, what if they never came home with you? How would you feel if after a few weeks of getting to know that child they were gone forever?
How would you handle having to choose a tiny casket, to stand over their grave as they were lowered into the ground?
How would it feel to spend your holidays not with them at home, but at the cemetery visiting your child who would never be there to open a gift on Christmas Day?
How would you feel to see others around you having babies, experiencing those moments that your heart aches for? Those sleepless nights that you're up with your infant?
Try being up without them, when you're the one crying, sobbing into your pillow because you wish so much that they were here waking up ten times a night.
What if when you heard others complain about parenthood, complain about their children, that it felt like someone punched you in the stomach.
That you wished with everything in you that you too could have those struggles rather than the heavy heart that haunts your every day.
On your child's birthday, the day you gave birth to them, it's nice to hear them acknowledged by others. It's so kind when people wish your child a happy birthday, right?
Well, what if they didn't? What if even though just like every other mother out there, you want to celebrate your child, but people ceased to recognize that she even existed.
They ignored your child's birthday, pretended like it didn't count?
Wasn't it important? What if even family and close friends did that?
How about when people ask how many children you have? How would you feel if by merely being honest and talking about your children, it made people uncomfortable?
People didn't know what to say. They changed the subject because it was too much for them to handle.
What if people asked you if you count all of your children as yours or if you leave any out when sharing about your family?
How Many Kids Do You Have?
These are all my truths. These things happen, and it's painful on top of grief. To love someone so much, only to have to fight for them to be acknowledged.
To already be in a world that while beautiful, is always shadowed by pain because my child, my daughter isn't a part of it.
That is child loss.
So, next time, before you tell someone to get over their grief, to move on, or when you even think for a second that their loss isn't worthy of the pain they share, imagine even for a second that this was your life.
I can guarantee you if you were in our shoes, and I pray that you never are, but if you were, you would look at this in a whole new light.

Have you ever wondered what Cole MacGrath would look like if he was strutting his stuff on the streets of the real world? I know I've had the odd thought about it when guiding him down the path of evil, something that made a little more grateful that random people are bestowed with superpowers.
Well here's what it would look like if InFamous' Cole MacGrath was a real breathing person, running around the streets and all that jazz. It's worth a few minutes of your time, even if it's purely for the fun factor. It's a little cringe-worthy at times but fair play to the chaps who made it, it's a decent watch.

Both being delta countries, the Netherlands and Egypt have cooperated on water for decades, largely under the direction of the Egyptian-Dutch Advisory Panel on Water Management.
This cooperation was mainly structured within the framework of development cooperation. However, over the last three years, there has been a shift towards a government to government partnership that is creating a more sustainable form of cooperation. This includes the greater involvement of the private sector, knowledge institutes and NGOs.
Water and sanitation are high on the Egyptian Government's agenda. It is conceivable that public investment in this sector will increase to meet the high consumption-driven demand. In addition, private sector investments are also expected to increase. These investment gives great opportunities for the Dutch water sector in Egypt. Areas of interest for the Dutch water sector are: water and agriculture; integrated water management; coastal management; drinking water and sanitation; and, water governance. There is also growing demand for cooperation on new themes such as climate adaptation.
The Egyptian-Dutch Advisory Panel on Water Management was recently incorporated in the International Water Ambition's (IWA) delta countries approach. With the support of the Partners for Water 2016-2021 programme, NWP acts as the Secretariat for the panel. In addition, NWP coordinates the Partners for Water Country Platform. This platform unites Dutch organisations with activities in Egypt and stimulates collaboration on water between the Netherlands and Egypt.

We do not recommend any particular manufacturer. However, there are few good pieces of advice based on best sector practices and experiences which we can give you:
- Be wary of suspiciously good deals of hashrate/price and unknown companies.
- Consider the hardware's power consumption and power bills you have to pay.
- Later shipping dates usually mean lower than currently estimated profit because of the rising mining difficulty.
For a comparison of ASIC miners we recommend asicminervalue.com. There are dozens of devices listed with complete specifications and profit estimates. Don't forget to check which algorithm the selected device is made for and which coins can be mined with it.

Forum: Fallout from Ukraine — British inquiry opens into Litvinenko poisoning
On Tuesday, a public inquiry into the murder eight years ago of Alexander Litvinenko, a former officer in Russia's Federal Security Service, who defected and was granted asylum in Britain, began in a British court. The inquiry, ordered five days after pro-Russian separatists shot down Malaysian Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine with the loss of 298 lives, is not designed to establish who murdered him; that has already been established. Rather, it will determine whether the Russian government was responsible for his murder.
On Nov. 1, 2006, Litvinenko became violently ill only hours after having had tea with Andrei Lugovoy, a former FSB officer and businessman, and Dmitry Kovtun in the Pine Bar of the Millennium Hotel in London. He was hospitalized that night, his condition deteriorated over the next three weeks, and he died on Nov. 23.
After his death, investigators determined Litvinenko had been poisoned by polonium 210, a highly toxic radioactive isotope that is obtained from polonium, a rare element found in uranium, or by bombarding bismuth 209, another isotope, with neutrons or protons. A speck of polonium 210 the size of the period at the end of this sentence contains more than 3,000 times the lethal dose for humans. It emits only alpha particles, which can't penetrate even a piece of paper. But once ingested, it destroys organs and is invariably fatal.
In retracing Litvinenko's itinerary on Nov. 1, the investigators found traces of polonium radiation in the hotel bar as well as on a teapot and teacup. Traces were also found at another London hotel where Lugovoy and Kovtun stayed during a visit two weeks earlier; a restaurant where Lugovoy had lunch with Litvinenko during that visit; a third hotel, where Lugovoy stayed and met with Litvinenko on a separate visit a week earlier; two British Airways planes used on the London-Moscow route, which Lugovoy traveled several times in October; and at other locations, including Hamburg, where Kovtun stopped for several days before traveling to London for the Nov. 1 meeting.
Aside from the trace evidence, there is good reason to believe the Russian state was behind the murder. For one thing, polonium 210 can only be produced at a nuclear facility. More than 95 percent of the world's polonium, which has various space and military uses, is produced in a large Russian nuclear complex outside the city of Sarov. It is inconceivable that anyone could have obtained the polonium used to poison Litvinenko except through official channels.
For another, Litvinenko had clearly become a four-star irritant for Russia. After receiving asylum, he wrote books that accused the FSB of orchestrating the bombings of several apartment buildings in September 1999 in order to mobilize support for military action against would-be secessionists in Chechnya. Current President Vladimir Putin was appointed head of the FSB in July 1998 and prime minister in August 1999.
Litvinenko also alleged that two of the Chechen terrorists involved in the taking of hostages in a Moscow theater in 2002 — in which 140 theater-goers along with 40 terrorists were killed — were FSB agents who organized the takeover on orders from the FSB. And he suggested the FSB must have known beforehand of the plan of Chechen terrorists to take a school in Beslan in North Ossetia in 2004 that resulted in the deaths of 385. Only a couple of weeks before his fatal tea at the Millennium Hotel, he accused Putin of ordering the assassination of Anna Politkovskaya, a journalist who was an outspoken critic of the war and human rights abuses in Chechnya and was shot in the hallway of her apartment building.
In 2007, British prosecutors charged Lugovoy with Litvinenko's murder and the government sought his extradition. Russia refused to extradite him, claiming that Article 61 of its constitution prohibits the extradition of a citizen. It said it would deal with the case if Britain supplied the evidence. For several years thereafter, the case languished.
In late 2011, Marina Litvinenko succeeded in her legal appeal for an inquest to determine the cause of her husband's death. But in June 2012, Sir Robert Owen, the retired High Court judge who had been appointed as coroner of the inquest, said the government's determination to keep many documents secret — all evidence in an inquest must be made public — was making his task impossible. He announced he had requested that a public inquiry — which, despite its name, has the power to consider evidence behind closed doors — be set up. The request was rejected.
That's where things stood until Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 was shot down last July. Five days later, Home Secretary Theresa May ordered a public inquiry. The inquiry, which will be heard before Judge Owen, will allow him to consider closed evidence and hold closed hearings from which the public, most of the participants, and the press are excluded — evidence that, in the judge's words, is of such sensitivity that it cannot be used in open court.
What is that evidence? No one knows, of course. But rumor has it the evidence involves telephone communications between those who were involved in the murder that were intercepted by the U.S. National Security Agency and made available to the British government. Presumably, that evidence and the means by which it was obtained won't be made public. But the conclusions and recommendations that result from that evidence will be made public — and the world will learn who is ultimately responsible for Litvinenko's murder.
David Cameron is a professor of political science at Yale University.

You have now decided to go a head and purchase a digital camera, but like many other electronic devices available to consumers now days the digital camera is changing all the time. You may find that for the same amount of money you would have spent a few months ago on a camera you will now get one with more and more features such as megapixels, storage space and zoom facilities. This article will hopefully provide you with a few hints and tips on what you should be looking for and how to choose the best camera for you.
There are a number things that you will need to consider when making this all important purchase. Firstly you need to work out how much you are willing to spend, some can cost from as little as ten dollars to ones that will cost a thousand dollars or more. You will also need to decide what you will be using the camera for as well as how much you are going to spend. The best way of solving this is by writing down a few simple questions such as will I be using it to take family pictures? Will it be used to take photographs of the landscape? Will I be traveling a lot? Will I need it for taking lots of flash photography? By having these questions in mind it will make your choice of camera easier.
Now that you have decided on how much you want to spend and what it will be used for you can look at a range of potential cameras that fit in to your criteria and build up a list of the ones you are interested in and include details such as price and the features that each one has to offer.
Below I provide a list of features with a short explanation that should be included when you are making up a list of features for the cameras that you are interested in.
Firstly there are Megapixels. Many cameras now come with an ever increasing number of megapixels and many people ask if the more megapixels a camera has is better. Having more megapixels all really depends on whether your are going to print photographs (especially enlargements) or you want to zoom in and crop the fine detail out of large photographs. Or is it just that you want to look at them on your computer and may be occasionally print of a few small prints. I would suggest that you look at using a 2 megapixel camera for the latter as you will find that most computer screens have a resolution of 1024x768 which even when viewing a photograph on a full screen which equates to less than 1 megapixel. Even a photograph (4x6) printed off will have a DPI higher than 300 which will be more than enough to produce a high quality print.
However, if you plan to print enlargements of your photographs then you need to look at the different print sizes and what megapixels are required to produce high quality prints. The table provided below shows you the photograph size and the megapixel required.
Photo Size - Megapixel
4x6 - 2
5x7 - 3
8x10 - 7
11x14 - 14
16x20 - 28
20x30 - 54
However, if money is no object where the purchase of your camera is concerned then the more megapixels you have may out weigh other features that could be available to you. For example should you spend money on the extra megapixels or a better lense, or an external flash unit? Really, it all depends on how you camera will be used. So remember to decide what your camera will be used for and make the decision on what is more important to you based on this.
Next is the Zoom feature. In some cases it is very handy to have the use of a good quality zoom on your camera, especially say when you want to take a good quality portrait photo where the object/person's face fills the complete photo frame, whilst when taking a photo of a group of people you want to make sure that everybody is in it.
You will find that there are two types of zoon now available, optical and digital. The optical zoom works by physically moving the cameras lense and changing the focal length of the picture. By changing the focal length you are able to make objects or subjects appear bigger than they are and that will fit the full photo frame. Whilst a digital zoom works by using built in software in the camera to clearly define a certain section of the photo that you are interested in taking. Then once this has been chosen the software inside will remove the rest of the photo surrounding the area and will then enlarge the chosen section and this will fit into a complete photo frame. Unfortunately the one downside of using a digital zoom is that the quality of the enlarged photo is less than that of the original photo taken.
So in conclusion if you are serious about taking photographs and not just to use it for taking those all important holiday snaps I would suggest you opt for the optical zoom and from a practical point of view a digital zoom should not be considered as a zoom lense at all.
However you need to be careful when looking at a camera you are thinking of buying as not always do the manufacturers stipulate whether the zoom figure specified is actually optical or digital. It can become quite confusing for those people who do not understand the difference between these two. So for example if a camera says it supports a 5X optical zoom and 10X digital zoom then is being advertised as a "10X zoom camera" you can see how the confusion can arise. A 10X digital zoom can be done to any camera just by using some simple PC software.
Once you have compared different cameras zooms then always compare their optical zoom capabilities as well. Really you can totally ignore the digital zoom figures that you will be provided with.
