The word festival has a number of dictionary definitions. Most of the definitions center around the common theme of celebration. These celebrations have been around since the idea of communal living (communities) took over for the life of nomads wandering the earth. Most of these celebrations center around a source of local pride. Common themes range from local food harvest celebrations (an apple festival) to celebrating a local hero every year. There is one festival theme that (over the last decade) has expanded more than any other, the craft beer festival.
As the craft beer industry has taken off, so have the number of celebrations for the industry.Beer fans the world over have traveled in mass to open spaces dotted with tents decorated in familiar craft beer logos. The craft beer fest has become a popular way to showcase local and regional brews to people who may be inclined to stay inside the (macro beer) box when shopping for beverages at their local market. It's also a great way to introduce new creations to legions of craft beer fans and get a "buzz" going for new products. With all that in mind, the craft beer festival is not just a place to get drunk on a multitude of flavors. There is an art (as craft beer is an art) to attacking and enjoying your experience at this festival. As lovers of craft beer and the festivals that celebrate them, we offer these 10 tips to help you get the most out of your beer festival experience.
Don't let the summer pass without attending one of these great festivals of beer. Most cities have a number of them. Omaha where I am based has at least 5 and I'd like to thank the Omaha Beer Fest for letting us in to cover their festival two weeks ago. We have scheduled festival stops all summer long from San Diego to Denver to Omaha and beyond. Let us know when and where you'll be attending so we can share, laugh, and eat tacos with you.

Rusoro Mining News
Rusoro Gold Production Update: Choco 10 Mine
Record gold production levels achieved at the recently acquired Choco 10 mine in Venezuela. 10,157 ounces were produced in October, 2007 and 7,952 ounces in November, 2007
The previous water supply, labour, and small miner issues at Choco 10 are now resolved
A detailed operational plan to support current sustainable gold production levels and ultimately increase them, will be announced in early 2008
Vancouver, Canada -- Rusoro Mining Ltd. is pleased to provide an operational update on its newly acquired Choco 10 gold mine, situated in Bolivar State, Venezuela. The acquisition closed on November 29th 2007 and it has placed the company solidly as an advanced Junior Gold Producer. The combination of Rusoro's projects and the Choco 10 mine gives the company a strong production base and expanding resources. The combined NI 43-101 compliant reserve and resources numbers were detailed previously in the company's news release dated October 11th, 2007. Choco 10 proven and probable reserves total 15.4 Mt grading 3.4 g/t Au for 1.66 M oz, the combined measured and indicated resource (including reserves) for all projects is 84.0 Mt grading 2.5 g/t Au containing 6.63 M oz, and the total inferred resource is 108.2 Mt grading 1.8 g/t Au containing 6.22 M oz of gold. Gold Production The Choco 10 mine achieved record production in October 2007, with 10,157 produced for the month. This represents the first time that the Choco 10 mine has produced in excess of 10,000 oz of gold in a month since the inception of commercial production in 2005. Production in November 2007 reached 7,952 oz Au for the month, a level that is also significantly higher than almost all of the previous months of production at Choco 10. The Company is very pleased with these numbers as all gold production from the date of the original agreement, October 11, 2007, is credited to Rusoro's account. Gold production in December is also expected to remain at these higher levels. Further guidance regarding forecasted revenues and costs from gold production will be provided in 2008, in Rusoro's year-end financial statement. Operational Plan Rusoro's management is reviewing alternatives designed to sustain gold production at the 8,000 oz to 10,000 oz per month range. These studies will review alternatives relating to the existing haulage fleet at the mine, possible enhancements to the mill and gold recoveries in addition to other operational enhancements. The Company will provide guidance on this new strategy, in early 2008. Water Issues Resolved The Company is pleased to announce that previous issues regarding the supply of water to the mine site, and the lack of water required to support the milling operation, have been resolved. Pro-active measures adopted by the mine's previous owners, Gold Fields Ltd, during the latter half of 2007, have resulted in a significant improvement to the water supply situation at the mine. Mine management are confident that ample water supplies are now available for the mine to sustain mill production at levels of 7,500 t/d or greater. The current Choco 10 plant design capacity is 5,800 t/d. Labour and Small Miner Issues Resolved The Company is pleased to announce that a collective agreement has been reached with the Choco 10 mine site labour unions. The new agreement calls for wage increases, related to inflationary adjustments, in addition to certain production related incentives. This issue, previously an impediment to higher gold production level, has now been removed. The Company is also pleased to announce that a settlement agreement has been reached with the Coacia Small Miners collective, relating to specific areas of Choco 10. This issue, which was also previously an impediment to higher gold production, has now been removed. George Salamis, Rusoro's President, reports: "We are pleased that a number of these past impediments to production have been resolved. In addition, we recognize that a number of these enhancements regarding recent record gold production levels, water availability and labour related issues, have come as a result of measures taken by mine management and Gold Fields, during the latter half of 2007." Andre Agapov, CEO, adds "We expect this pro-active spirit of enhancing the operational performance at Choco 10 will continue into 2008 and beyond, being driven by our Venezuelan-experienced management team." Qualified Person: Mr. Gregory Smith, P.Geo, the Vice-President Exploration of the Company, is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and is responsible for the accuracy of this news release.

The last time Rhysante� Ellis scored a game-winning shot, he was playing on his AAU basketball team.
The feeling of making a last-second shot doesn�t get old for New Bern�s sophomore point guard.
Ellis buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer as time expired to lift the Bears to a 77-75 win over Eastern Wayne in the first round of the Eastern Carolina Conference Tournament on Tuesday.
�It feels good. You have to have the heart of a lion and not be scared of anything. I wanted the win,� said Ellis, who scored a game-high 22 points.
New Bern (15-4) beat Eastern Wayne by 40 points three weeks ago. This team, the Bears let the Warriors hang around.
Miller Mills laid the ball in with :55 remaining, cutting the Bears deficit to 75-74. The Bears got the ball back with :31 seconds, but Ellis� shot glanced off the rim and into the arms of Eastern Wayne�s Quavis Holloman.
Holloman was fouled, but missed his free throw.
New Bern pushed the ball, missed a shot, but senior Jeff Taylor snagged the offensive rebound and kicked it out to Ellis with the clock winding down.
�It was luck. To be honest, it was luck. It was one of those shots that went in. It wasn�t anything we designed,� New Bern coach Cliff Dillard said.
Ellis dished out five assists, including an alley-oop to Taylor who flushed it in with two hands to give New Bern a 62-60 lead with 4:50 remaining.
Eastern Wayne took its biggest lead, at 75-68, but New Bern ended the game on a 9-0 run.
�We came out and played our hearts out on both sides of the ball,� Ellis said.
Mills had 20 points and nine rebounds for the Bears. Collin Jacobs added 17 points and 18 boards and Taylor recorded 15 points and eight rebounds.
New Bern took a 33-27 lead at halftime, and extended it to 45-33 midway through the third quarter. Eastern Wayne (3-14) closed the gap to 55-54 by the end of the period.
Zongio Troy paced the Warriors with 18 points. Ezekial Martin had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Dayshawn Boudy scored 15. Micah Smith added 13 and Holloman had 12.

Melbourne winter targets for Victoria Star
Mathew Toogood
Victoria Star has re-ignited his racing career in Australia this season and trainer Greg Eurell believes the well-travelled gelding can continue to step up in Melbourne this winter.
The six-year-old gelding runs in Saturday's Vale Kevin O'Brien Handicap (1400m) at Caulfield with the winner to be exempt from ballot for the Listed Winter Championship Series Final (1600m) at Flemington in early July.
Before finding his way to his new home at Cranbourne, Victoria Star began his career in New Zealand where he won twice racing under the name Rocstock before a sale to Hong Kong.
Unplaced in only two starts in the Hong Kong, Victoria Star later found his way to Eurell's team and has won three of his four starts for his new trainer this season.
His most recent victory came first-up from a spell in a 1200m benchmark-84 at Cranbourne on May 15.
"I just think he probably didn't really like the environment over there (in Hong Kong) and he just never fired," Eurell said.
"I think he got an injury in the process, nothing too serious, which I think made the decision easy to bring him back to New Zealand.
"The agent who works for the owner of the horse then contacted us and asked if we'd like to give him a go here.
"You're always of the opinion if they're good enough to go to Hong Kong, they've got ability. The only question mark we had was whether he would get back to his ability.
"The more we got to do with the horse, he always showed good ability all the way through.
"We got him to a trial and he trialled terrific and he just kept going forward from there.
"He's a very straightforward horse to train. I think he's a very genuine horse and probably more importantly he's a happy horse."
Victoria Star was first emergency for Saturday's race but there has been one scratching which assures him a start.
"I think he'll be very, very competitive again," Eurell said.
"He hasn't missed a beat at home. He's certainly ready to go again so it would have been very disappointing had we not been able to get a start on Saturday.
"We knew he wasn't going to enjoy the hard tracks so we thought we'd get him back for the winter and his main target would be through this Winter Championship series if he can run a mile.
"On what we've seen I'd be very surprised if he couldn't run 1600 metres and he's very adept in the wet."

Read Dr. Griffiths's Bio
Cognitive Network Modelling
Dr. Diaconescu and her team build and apply computational models that infer subject-specific disturbances of information processing in neuronal circuits from behaviour as well as whole-brain neuroimaging and electrophysiological measures, in order to address practical clinical questions in psychiatry. In particular, her team focuses on characterizing disease states by symptom-relevant design of tasks and experiments using multimodal imaging techniques.
Read Dr. Diaconescu's Bio
Integrative Neuroanatomy
Researchers will build tools to combine and analyze large molecular atlases of the human, monkey and mouse brain. The team will develop polygenic approaches that take into account the complex nature of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Application of these approaches will help target experiments and therapies to the parts of the brain that are most likely to be disrupted in mental illness. Within the Centre, this team will provide datasets for the machine learning team, spatial information to the modellers and help characterize patterns from neuroimaging studies.
Whole Person Modelling
Led by Dr. Daniel Felsky, researchers will develop and apply predictive modelling approaches for individual citizen, patient and population trajectories and outcomes. This includes tools, pipelines and approaches for the exploration, visualization and analysis of complex high-dimensional data, with the aim of the data-driven definition of mental health and brain disorders, and the establishment of outcome predictors and identification of optimal intervention opportunities.
Read Dr. Felsky's Bio

story from Business
XRP Is Used in Crime, But Far Less Often Than Bitcoin, Elliptic Says
(FBI/Wikimedia Commons)
Ian Allison
Nov 20, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. UTC Updated Nov 20, 2019 at 2:50 p.m. UTC
Criminals have used XRP to carry out their illicit activities, though hardly to the same degree as bitcoin, according to a new report from blockchain sleuthing firm Elliptic.
Some $400 million worth of XRP can be traced back to a variety of Ponzi schemes and darknet activities, Elliptic said in a report released Wednesday. While that may sound like a lot, it represents just 0.2 percent of XRP transactions. By comparison, $829 million of bitcoin, or 0.5 percent of that network's transactions, have been spent on the dark web, the analytics vendor said.
"Regardless of the amount, it just demonstrates that there is illicit activity going on in this coin," said Tom Robinson, chief scientist and co-founder of Elliptic. "Therefore, if you are a business handling some of these transactions then you need to be checking for it because you don't want to be the organization that's being used to launder those proceeds."
Such concerns are especially acute for XRP's target market, regulated financial institutions. Ripple, the distributed ledger technology (DLT) startup that owns an estimated 60 percent of the XRP supply and periodically sells the tokens to fund operations, has been pitching banks software that utilizes XRP for the last few years.
A Ripple spokesperson said: "Like other cryptocurrencies, XRP is open source and decentralized – it's available to anyone to use. Ripple enabled XRP transactions are secure and through regulated institutions."
Blockchain forensic firms like Elliptic tackle crypto involvement in things like drugs, weapons, child sexual abuse material and ransomware-as-a-service. In the case of XRP, much of the transactions related to scams and Ponzi schemes, said Robinson.
For instance, a large chunk was accounted for by the Plus Token "investment" scheme. Earlier this year, Chinese authorities arrested six Chinese nationals on the Pacific island of Vanuatu suspected of orchestrating the scam, which collected billions in crypto from people in China and South Korea.
There has been an increase in the use of crypto to purchase things like stolen credit card numbers on the dark web and Elliptic had detected a number of those sites accepting XRP alongside other cryptos.
But Robinson said the relatively small amount of illicit use of XRP might be down its association with traditional finance, compared to other cryptocurrencies.
"The fact that the Ripple network itself has been targeted at large traditional banks maybe doesn't resonate with criminals trying to use it," he said.
Ripple set out to provide a cheap and efficient cryptocurrency bridge to connect correspondent banks and so provide near-instant cross-border payments. Back in 2015, it was among the first crypto companies to receive a fine from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for AML failings. But this was viewed as a positive among a fledgling crypto industry because it meant Ripple was closer to being regulated than other crypto firms at that time.
The same could be said for XRP in the context of having its tires kicked by Elliptic, said Robinson, since highlighting illicit XRP activity will only improve the network's credibility.
"Wherever you have any kind of value transfer mechanism there is going to be potentially some illicit use," said Robinson. "I think having clarity of that and being able to know where it's happening should give banks comfort rather than a cause for concern."
To be clear, Elliptic was dealing with XRP, the crypto asset only. "We haven't had any interaction with the Ripple company," said Robinson.
Another large investor in XRP is Japan's SBI Holdings (previously known as Softbank Investment), which also led a $23 million investment round in Elliptic earlier this year.
Tomoyuki Nii, executive officer for overseas investment at SBI Investment, said in an interview at the time that the bank was attracted to Elliptic because it was the best blockchain sleuthing firm when it comes to XRP.

ABOUT THE ARTIST, the most important thing you should know about me is that I fly no flags, subscribe to no religious or political group. I am a free thinker who searches for Islands of beauty, wonder, truth, compassion, courage and laughter in the sea of ignorance, brutality, hypocrisy, pomposity, and lies which threaten to drown us. Fortunately, there exist many such shiny islands. I take that which is beautiful and humane wherever I find it, in Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Sikhs, atheists, agnostics, Americans, Iranians, Chinese or whatever and reject that which is ugly and brutal. I am not setting out to promote any tribe or ideology.
I love Islamic Art, because it is beautiful and speaks in geometry and symmetry, the language in which God has written the Universe. It is of universal value. I have a Hindu friend who was so moved by one of my Arabic calligraphy designs that his eyes filled with tears. Islamic art offers a unique vehicle for creating beauty and bringing enlightenment through the humanizing the most profound discoveries of science. This is my mission. Having made that clear, I will continue.
I was born in Allahabad in India and spent a few years of my early teens in Pakistan. From the age of 16 onwards I have been brought up in the UK. I attended London University from where I obtained a Ph.D. in applied mathematics (magneto hydrodynamics) in 1967.
Ever since the discovery of the existence of seventeen space groups in two dimensions by Fedorov in 1891, it has been speculated that all seventeen could be found in Islamic art. But it is in this book that this remarkable fact is for the first time detailed and analyzed, with beautiful illustrations. Rarely is there such a thought provoking blend of aesthetics and geometry with abstraction.
Bism Allah (or Bismillah) This first image in this first series is intended to highlight the most central features of Islamic Art. First of all: Calligraphy is regarded as the highest art form in Islamic Art. The Arabic Calligraphy shown in this art work says: Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim which is translated as: in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. is the most celebrated one and appears again and again. Muslims begin any significant act with the recital of Bism Allah(or Bismillah) and I am following this tradition by making it the first image in CD1. Bismillah will appear many times in the CDs to follow. It seems to me that the first requirement of a Muslim is that he or she should behave compassionately and mercifully? I invite Muslims to reflect.
I have chosen to create a circle-packed space around the calligraphy to make the point that the circle is at the root of Islamic Patterns. The book Geometric Concepts In Islamic Art by Issam El-Said & Ayse Parman, first published in 1976 by the World of Islam Festival Publishing Company, which gives procedures for producing a large number of Islamic patterns, starts every one of these by drawing a circle.

Exit Interview: GOP Rep. Curbelo 'Laughed' at 'Detached' Trump for Mocking Him Over Midterm Loss
by William Steakin November 28, 2018, 1:05 pm 220.4k Views 9 Votes 5 Comments
Exit Interview is an IJR original series exploring the 2018 midterms by examining what didn't work in order to better understand what did. Following Election Day, IJR will give candidates who came up short an opportunity to speak their minds after the votes are counted and the dust settles.
The day after the 2018 midterm elections, President Donald Trump ripped a number of Republicans who lost their respective races at a fiery White House press conference.
"They did very poorly," the president said regarding candidates who "didn't want the embrace" of his support.
Now with the midterms in the rearview mirror, Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), one of the fallen Republican candidates whom Trump called out, tells IJR that he simply "laughed" at the president's antics, adding that it proved Trump makes "everything about him" in an effort to "exploit our losses to project his strength."
In a candid interview with IJR, Curbelo, who lost a tight race to Democratic challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, opened up about being somewhat "relieved" to leave Congress considering how "truly dangerous" politics have grown recently.
"Too many of my colleagues here are defined by whatever Trump wants," the congressman said. "This is very corrosive to our institutions. This is not how it's supposed to work."
The outgoing Republican also weighed in on the future of his party, if there's anything he would have done differently on the campaign trail, and whether or not he plans to return to politics someday (spoiler alert: he does).
IJR: It's been a few weeks after the election. How are you feeling about the results? Do you have any more insight into what led to the campaign outcome?
REP. CARLOS CURBELO: Look, the number one factor in my race was spending. We probably got outspent 2-to-1, and despite that, it was still pretty close. But the political pendulum swings back and forth. I don't take the results personally at all. I'm just grateful for these wonderful four years that I've been able to serve my community and the country.
Is there anything you would have done differently on the campaign? Any regrets?
Oh, no. I raised north of $5 million for my campaign. And over the last couple of weeks, some friends would come up to me and say, "Hey, can we raise more money?" But we had more than what we projected we needed to raise to run a good campaign, so by that point, I was telling people, "Look, I've raised about $5 million, and if you can't win with that, it's almost not worth it, so don't worry about it."
So, no. I really don't think there was much we could have done differently when you're in the most Democratic-leaning district in the country and you're getting outspent 2-to-1. It's surprising it was even close.
What was your initial reaction when you saw President Donald Trump going after Republicans like yourself who came up short on Election day?
My first reaction was to laugh at him. Because it shows how detached he is from the reality of this last election.
In my district, I got a little over 49 percent. And Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott, who were more closely aligned with the president without question, got in the mid-40s. So statistically, what the president said is just completely wrong. But for him, everything is personal, and everything is about him, so I think he wanted to try to exploit our losses to project his strength. But in reality, he said something that made no sense.
So you don't think it was a mistake to not "embrace" Trump, as he said?
I've just always been very sober about this, whether it was Obama or Trump. When they were doing things that I agreed with, that I thought were good, I worked with them and I supported them. When I disagreed and I thought they were wrong, I opposed them and criticized them. It's just very simple to me.
These days, I think a lot of members of Congress either don't understand or ignore what their true role is, which is to be a co-equal independent branch of government. Too many of my colleagues here are defined by whatever Trump wants. If the economy is going well and Trump is talking about it, well, they have to find the two or three statistics that contradict what he's saying. And then you have a lot of people in the Republican Party who aren't willing to criticize the president at all, even when it's obvious that he's wrong.
This is very corrosive to our institutions. This is not how it's supposed to work. This is not a monarchy where we have loyalists and revolutionaries. This is a democracy with co-equal branches of government.
You talked about the political pendulum swinging back this midterm election, yet many of your Republican colleagues and especially President Donald Trump refuse to acknowledge that there was a blue wave. How do you see that?
The result was typical for a midterm for the majority party who controls the White House. Whether they want to call it a wave or not, it's kinda irrelevant. The point is that it was an — as expected, historically — a good night for the opposition party. It should surprise no one that they won most of the toss-up districts. The only reason their success was limited or didn't make any gains in the Senate is because the structure of the Senate benefited Republicans. There's just no questioning that.
Had the distribution been differently, Democrats would have probably taken over the Senate, too.
Following this election, are you worried about the state of the Republican Party moving forward?
No one likes to lose. And I was certainly looking forward to continuing my work here in Congress. But at the same time, I feel relieved because the politics in our country are so ugly and have disintegrated to a point that is truly dangerous.
My faith is in my colleagues in the Problem Solvers Caucus, my colleagues in the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus — those who are trying to lead with honesty and with sincerity. Focusing on policy and facts. I think those are the people who can save our politics and make a U-turn here quickly because I think inertia is going to continue to pull us in the wrong direction.
Who are the specific Republicans that you will look at to lead that charge in the future?
People like Brian Fitzpatrick from Pennsylvania, who ran a great race and he's well-equipped to carry the banner of thoughtful, rational, sober policymaking. My Florida colleague, Francis Rooney, on the environment has just become an extraordinary leader. And there are people like Kathleen Rice, Stephanie Murphy, and Darren Soto in the Democratic Party. These are just honest, sober leaders. But I think they are in the minority here. In fact, I know.
What's next for you? Do you see a return to politics in the future?
There will be another political chapter in my life. I think that's very likely. But for now, I am going to take a little time and just be a private citizen and enjoy that. I'll keep my voice on the big issues I care about like immigration, the environment, cannabis reform, the debt, and others.
I have some ideas about what I am going to do next, but I'm not ready to expound on those things just yet.

Jordan Matthew Cox (born 21 October 2000) is an English professional cricketer. He signed his first professional contract with Kent County Cricket Club in October 2018, having joined the county club at age 10, played for them at age-group levels and been a member of the club's academy programme, winning the John Aitken Gray award as the best academy scholar in 2018.

Cox has played for the England under-19 cricket team, including at the 2020 under-19 World Cup. Along with Jack Leaning he set a new highest partnership for any wicket for Kent in 2020, scoring 238 not out in an unbroken partnership of 423 runs against Sussex at Canterbury.

Early life
Cox was born at Margate in Kent and educated at Wellesley House School and Felsted School. He first played for Kent's Second XI in 2017. He played for the London and East team in the ECB Super-4s developmental T20 competition in 2018 and was named player of the tournament. In early 2019 he played for the England under-19 cricket team on their tour of Bangladesh. In club cricket he plays for Sandwich Town Cricket Club in the Kent Cricket League.

Cricket career
After scoring a century in a 50-over Second XI friendly in April 2019 he made his List A cricket debut on 27 April 2019 against the touring Pakistanis, scoring 21 runs. Following a series of good batting performances, including scoring two centuries, for the Second XI during the 2019 season, Cox made his first-class cricket debut in July against Hampshire and was called into the England under-19 squad for a series of matches against India and Bangladesh during August. He made his Twenty20 debut later the same month against Somerset in the 2019 t20 Blast.

After finishing a tri-series of matches in December 2019 against West Indies and Sri Lanka under-19s as England under-19's leading run scorer, Cox was named in England's squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa the following month.

In August 2020, Cox scored his maiden century in first-class cricket against Sussex at Canterbury in the second round of matches of the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy. Cox went on to finish the innings unbeaten on 238 in a Kent record partnership for any wicket of 423 runs with Jack Leaning. Cox's century was the first scored in England by a player born in the 2000s. Cox was subsequently dropped for Kent's next match after having posed for photographs with young fans of the club, a breach of club medical protocols put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Later in the year Cox signed a contract extension with Kent, extending his contract until the end of the 2023 season.

During the 2021 season, Cox was named Player of the Match as Kent won the 2021 T20 Blast final. He scored 58 not out from 28 balls in the final and his "incredible piece of fielding gymnastics" helped take the wicket of Somerset batsman Lewis Gregory, Cox palming the ball back from beyond the boundary to teammate Matt Milnes who was able to take the catch. He was part of the Oval Invincibles squad for the 2021 season of The Hundred, having been selected in the Wildcard Draft in the run up to the start of the competition. Although he did not play a match for the side during the season, he was retained for the 2022 season. Cox holds an Australian passport and over the 2021/22 English off-season he played Sydney Grade Cricket for Mosman Cricket Club, having played for Estern Suburbs the previous season. In December 2021 he was recruited by Big Bash League side Hobart Hurricanes as a replacement for the opening match of their 2021/22 season. In September 2022, Cox was one of five uncapped players named in the England squad for their seven-match Twenty20 International tour of Pakistan later in the same month.

Different Types of Betta Fish
There are a number of different Betta fish that you'll have to choose from, so you need to know what your options are.
These fish make for great pets, and each kind is unique its own way. When you learn about these fish, you'll have no problem choosing the right one for your tank.
1. Crowntail Betta
2. Combtail Betta
3. Veiltail Betta
4. Plakat Betta
5. Double Tail Betta
6. Delta Tail Betta
7. Rosetail Betta
8. Halfmoon Betta
9. Half Sun Betta
10. Elephant Ear Betta
11. Spade Tail Betta
A lot of people like the Crowntail Betta because of its flamboyant and colorful appearance. The males display a number of vibrant colors, including dark red, blue, purple and black. Females tend to have a lighter coloration as well as a shorter tail.
These fish have a spiked crown that sets them apart from the rest of this species. While they have only been around for less than 30 years, they are still among the most popular pet fish choices in the world.
The Combtail Betta has a characteristic wide caudal fin that fans out in an extravagant display. While their crown does have a little bit of spiking, it's not nearly as pronounced as the Crowntail's. The bright blue and red coloration of this fish makes it a gorgeous addition to pretty much any aquarium.
A Veiltail is another good choice for those who want to get a new fish that is beautiful and active. It has a downward facing tail and an almost entirely red body with some traces of white. This is one of the easiest fishes in the world to breed, so you'll want to keep that in mind as well. Female Veiltails can have vibrant colors like the males, but they aren't nearly as stunning overall.
SEE NEXT: Red Cherry Shrimp Breeding & Information
The Plakat Betta is known for its stubby tail that has a rounded appearance. One of the things that set these Bettas apart from the others is their extremely short fins. They are, however, very skilled swimmers to say the least.
These fish can be fairly aggressive, especially if they are kept with another male Betta. Even their name means "fighting fish". You'll definitely want to be careful about which fish you put in with this one.
The blue, orange, pink and yellow coloration of this fish makes for a great way to make your aquarium more vibrant as a whole.
The Double Tail Betta has a truly striking overall appearance with a variety of bright colors that include blue, purple, pink, red, and orange. It has two different tails with a dorsal fin that is massive compared to others of this species. This is by far one of the more visually stunning Bettas in the world.
The Delta Tail Betta fish has a reputation for its rather large tail that bears a striking similarity to the Greek delta letter. This fish has a tail that is quite narrow at the start and gets wider along the edges. The Super Delta has a particularly impressive look with a tail flare that is very impressive.
The Rosetail Betta has a caudal fin that exceeds 180 degrees with a tail that makes it look like an aquatic peacock. It has a mostly black coloration with some red on the underside of its body. There are also sometimes traces of blue, giving it quite an interesting look.
SEE NEXT: Benefits of Having Floating Aquarium Plants
While these fish are definitely not the most active of their species, they are very aesthetically pleasing. You can expect the Rosetail to spend much of its time hiding among the vegetation and crevices in its tank. If you are looking for a fish that is very active and swims around a lot, this one isn't a particularly good choice.
The Halfmoon Betta has a half-circle tail, which is where it gets its name. It is the result of selective breeding, which is why you won't find it anywhere in the wild. It grows up to 2.5 inches and only requires a one fourth gallon size tank, though bigger is always better. The blue, black and yellow coloration is quite pleasant to look at.
The Half Sun Betta is completely orange and is also the result of selective breeding. This fish was created from the Crown Tail and Half Moon Bettas. It definitely looks similar to the Halfmoon Betta, at least in terms of its spread.
The Elephant Ear Betta has a one-of-a-kind shape and unique coloration that is truly stunning. It gets its name from the unique shape of its pectoral fins, which look like an elephant eat. These fish aren't nearly as bright and vibrant in the wild. The captive Elephant Eat Bettas are often red, yellow, blue and even turquoise.
The Spade Tail Betta looks a lot like the round tail variety, except it has a pointed caudal fin. This fish is a subtle beauty with its muted blue, yellow and white coloration. There is also a little black around the face. It gets its name from the shape of its tail, which looks like a spade.

The Crowntail Betta has a variety of colors and a spiked crown that gives them a uniquely beautiful appearance.
The Combtail Betta has an extravagant look with a semi-spiked crown and stunningly bright blue and red coloration.
The Veiltail Betta has a tail that faces down and is mostly red with some minor hints of white.
The Plakat Betta is known for being particularly aggressive, as well as its very short and rounded tail.
The Double Tail Betta sports a wide range of bright colors with a huge dorsal fin that sets it apart from other variations of this species.
The Delta Tail Betta has a big tail in the shape of the Greek Delta letter, hence the name.
The Rosetail Betta is almost entirely black with a bit of red, giving it a subtle but beautiful overall appearance.
The Halfmoon Betta has a tail that is a half circle, and it is the result of selective breeding.
The Half Sun Betta also comes from selective breeding, and it has a similar spread to that of the Halfmoon.
The Elephant Ear Betta has uniquely-shaped pectoral fins, which is how it got its name.

Midway through October and still the weather is mild and relatively settled. Yes we are enjoying an Indian summer and for the shore anglers it's been a long spell of mixed fishing with the crossover of summer and winter species somewhat prolonged this autumn. Could be that this is now becoming the norm with the mixed fishing lasting later into the winter every year due to global warming. Whatever, it's welcome for sure. Only this week I landed a mixed catch of dabs, bass, whiting, codling, smoothhound and dogfish from my local pier and beaches. Fishing the Prince of Wales pier inside Dover harbour the anglers next door landed two smoothhounds, mine was just a goer, but the specimens landed by Kyros Andrea from Tottenham both topped the 6lb mark, both took a large squid bait. Kyros is a retired trucker who regularly travels to Dover to fish and these were his best ever smoothhounds.
A surprise bass amongst the dabs at Seabrook whilst using braid line on the new Continental beach caster caused me some excitement and those codling seem to be showing all around the UK, even in the sunshine and so it's going to be a shock for many anglers when the weather does eventually change to winter. Looking at the continuous south westerly storms that are buffeting us, that all too familiar winter weather blocking pattern will soon introduce more easterly and northerly winds and lower temperatures. Anglers in the North Sea will be rubbing their hands together at the prospect of onshore winds and more cod and here in the south when its calm nothing beats a calm sea and a frosty beach to spice up the night time whiting fishing..
However, now is a time to get serious with your beach fishing and going out prepared for the weather is an important factor. The waterproof thermal suit, a beach shelter or brolly, chest waders, warms socks, a hat and a flask are all essential to survival when the weather gets mean. Also important are the means to continue fishing when the wind blows and the sea swells. I pack a few heavier grip leads in the tackle box, those 7oz Breakaway green tops in fixed wire take some beating, although if it gets extreme then it's a Gemini yellow head 7oz and nothing sticks like they do. Lots of anglers forget that the importance of a heavy lead apart from it anchoring to the sea bed is that it punches through the wind and tows baits far more efficiently than lighter leads. Which go off course in the wind. Bait clips also help you gain extra yards by tucking the bait snugly behind the lead for a more streamlined rig and bait. Now is the time to get your sea fishing tackle right. Make up a few rigs for extreme weather – the Pulley Pennell is a great choice for wind and sea both on rough and smooth ground and it's the easiest clipped rig to make yourself. Lots of anglers also boost up their rig hook snood line to 25lb to combat conditions and that chance of a bigger cod.
One of the biggest winter mistakes made by many sea anglers, especially beginners is using too big a bait. OK big bait, big fish – that's true, but a large bait is of no use if you cannot cast it far enough to reach the cod. So compromise between bait size, bait clips and lead size to maximise distance with your biggest bait and don't fall into the giant bait fished in the gutter trap!!!!
The other common mistake of the novice is to recast a washed out bait. Replace your hook bait fresh every cast, fresh worms etc means a fresh scent so the bait scent trail the previous cast set up is continued. Casting timing is also important, keep an eye on how long your bait lasts against crab and small fish attacks and set you timing between casts around that.
There are a few solutions and one is to freeze your lugworms. Black lugworms freeze best and when using them, tying them on with bait cotton makes keeps them more intact and on the hook because they do go soft. Frozen baits can be used to extend a limited supply of fresh although lots of anglers swear by frozen on their own. One tip – Treat frozen bait like you would your food, would you eat sausages that have been in the freezer for four years!
Sort your frozen bait in terms of how long it's been frozen. Frozen lugworm from the spring tides can be used a week or month later when the tides are neap. That's the way to manage frozen bait and not keep it for years!
Frozen squid is easy enough to buy earlier in the year in bulk, it's cheaper. Break down into smaller amounts and store in the freezer and on some venues it's all the bait you need, although for the current crop of codling fresh yellowtails or blacks take some beating.
You can obtain a supply by looking after your dealer – How many anglers buy their gear on the internet and then only visit the dealer when they are desperate for worms, small wonder he has none he will be looking after his regulars. So keep it in your mind to keep in with the local fishing tackle shop and with luck you will get a supply.
I had a surprise this week when a photo session with Sea Angler photographer, Lloyd Rogers resulted in me catching my biggest ever wrasse from the Kent shore. You will have to wait until the feature appears before you get to see the pics.
Catching wrasse from the Kent shore is nothing new, I first recorded Ballans in the 1980s, although they were generally small fish in the ounces and an occasional high summer catch. But after Samphire Hoe was constructed they started to appear in numbers and it was predicted that they would increase in size. Samphire Hoe, near Dover is a 2km long sea wall that was constructed out of the spoil that came out of the Channel Tunnel and it is extremely rocky and weedy, ideal habitat for wrasse which have colonised it big time.
I suppose the reason for the increase in the wrasse population generally has got to be global warming and it's in the sea that anglers have noted a drastic influx of species and changes in the migration patterns of some of our most common fishes. The wrasse though is not a commercial catch, indeed the fact it tastes like cardboard will mean it will survive the nets and because anglers generally put them back. Both facts may have contributed to their increase, plus they are exploiting the habitat left after the demise of the other species.
Big Ballan wrasse have become what I call the poor man's big fish with populations around the UK expanding and it's a fact that large wrasse feature in many sea angling magazine pages when in the past they were considered less meritorious. Pound for pound of course they are a powerful sea fish, whilst their colours and handsome looks add to their popularity as a catch. They are also not easy to drag from their rocky haunts and can be caught on bait or lures. Nowadays they are there to be caught when other prime species are not and like the dogfish, wrasse have become an accepted part of the sea angling scene.
Between the wrasse I have managed to catch a few codling, although they have been mainly small with a mix of fish between 20 and 40cm from the Kent shore. Listening to the Facebook grapevine it looks like most of the English Channel and lower North Sea have the same populations of 1lb to 2lb codling. Trouble is so many anglers exaggerate the size and around my neck of the woods fish of 5lb are being reported, its odd that not one of the Kent competition results and there are hundreds, has produced a codling of more than 2lb 8oz. However, having said that its been nice to sit on the beach and see the rod tip buckle over because even a 2lb codling can give you a great pull down or slack line bite.
Best bait has been black lugworm for me with a two hook Loop rig the ideal terminal set up for long range when the weather is rough and distance crucial. At other times I have stuck to a two hook flapper with size one Kamasan B940s. In the coming weeks a change in the weather will produce more codling with an onshore sea the best conditions, south west in Kent and along the Channel coast is best whilst up the North Sea a North East is usually considered ideal. Also look to fish after the gales have subsided, don't leave it a couple of day, go when the wind drops.
Between the codling have been a few big bass and it's the time of year when bass and cod are caught together or in consecutive casts on some southern venues. I love nothing than a really calm night to fish a small live whiting in the margins of a steep shingle beach. Some big bass are there to be caught from now up until Christmas and like others the bass season has been extended again thanks to global warming.
I am currently using my two Force 8 continental beach rods. They are 15ft and rated 5oz, although I am using 12lb line and 4oz leads with one rod on micro braid and one on mono. The comparison between the two lines is tremendous with the braid especially effective over rough ground – I used it to catch those wrasse and its lack of stretch and immediate pick up means tremendous bites, but fish can be bullied away from the rocks quicker than with mono., One word of warning with braid main line all through, you will find that it will snap light mono hook lengths so don't go too light, not below 15lb for rough ground anyway.
The Continental sea fishing rods have been an eye opener for me and using 4oz on the strongest tide with micro braid has generally lightened up my sea angling without a big loss in casting distance or increase in tackle movement because of the tide. Four ounces holds in most tides with the finer line, only heavy weed offers a problem.
I'm off this week to make a new DVD for TF Gear and Sea Angler magazine with Chris Ogborne. We are going to Cornwall and fishing aboard Optimus Prime skippered by Rodney Kennedy. The main subject of the DVD is fishing light and hopefully that will include a shore trip so I can show you the new Force 8 Continentals in action. Look out for the DVD in the coming months it will be free with Sea Angler magazine and to all TF Gear customers etc.
I did a bit of coarse fishing recently and landed this cracking sturgeon on a pole from Chequertree fishery at Bethersden in Kent.
If you live within a commuting distance of our Brecon HQ, and you are a keep angler there may be a role for you in the Fishtec team!
In this fast paced role you will process postal, internet and telephone orders for a wide variety of fishing tackle. Key elements of the role are helping customers with product advise queries through telephone sales, customer service aftercare, and processing internet and postal orders orders.
Effective written and oral communication skill.
Previous experience working in a call centre a distinct advantage.
There are all manner of high-tech fishing goodies you could spend your life savings on. But sometimes, it's all about keeping it simple and doing the basics well.
You can still catch your dinner with just feathers and a fishing line if you know your stuff. So next time you visit the fishing shop, see how far you can stretch a £10 note.
Along with hooks, the type of fishing line used can greatly affect your chances of making a catch. If you're fishing in rough waters, you'll need a thick, durable line, whereas a thinner fishing line is preferable if you're fishing in a clear, quiet lake and don't want to alert the fish.
And you'll always need extra line in your tackle box as there's always some jagged rock or piece of rubbish just waiting to break your line (and heart) at a key moment.
Planning an all day session out in your favourite fishing spot? Lunch and drinks are packed, you've got plenty of fishing gear, bevvies and bivvy. Sounds like the perfect day. Only you return home the next morning in pain with a face redder than an angry octopus.
Sunscreen is one of those easy things to forget, but even in the oft-sunless landscape known as the UK, the sun can still damage your skin if you're out all day. It's technically not fishing gear, but it's in a fishing shop, so stretch that tenner.
For the well-practiced fishermen, it's important to have a selection of hooks in a range of sizes from the traditional J-hook to the French hook.
You don't want to be using monster hooks to catch tiddlers — so stock up your tackle box with a variety of hooks and you'll be ready for any type and size of fish.
They come in all shapes and sizes with funny names (no, not jelly beans or real ales), but flies. Fishing flies are affordable and you can never have too many.
Different fishing spots breed different types of fish and so you'll need to change your flies to improve your chances of catching them. See how many you can get for a tenner — sounds like the start of a global challenge.
"Half a pound of the wiggling ones, please …" Depending on what style of fishing you're planning for the day, you may require some live bait like worms or maggots.
Unless your local fishing shop is importing exotic maggots from somewhere far away, you should be able to afford more than enough bait and still have money left over for something else in the next paragraph.
Everybody loves a bargain bin, so close your eyes and dig in. You never know what you might find. When there's a sale on anything is possible and your tenner may hook you in something (like a rod!) that may be too big for your tackle box.
This of course depends on two factors — how big your tackle box actually is, and how desperate your local fishing shop is to unload the old stock. Either way, your tenner and some bartering should make an impact in the bargain bin.
