The Canon EOS-30D is the latest in Canon's broad line of digital SLR models, but it is more evolutionary than revolutionary, keeping most of what was excellent about its predecessor, the EOS 20D. Canon says they listened to feedback from 20D customers and made modifications to make an even better 20D. The resulting Canon 30D still has the same 8 megapixel sensor, main processor, and basic body design of the 20D, but it's been augmented with a larger screen, a more durable shutter, and a 3.5% spot metering mode, among other improvements.
As did the 20D, the new Canon 30D offers impressive noise performance at high ISOs, with the result that its images at ISO 1600 are remarkably clean-looking, and its shots at ISO 3200 are very usable. Simultaneous with the increase in resolution, the Canon EOS 30D also brings improved shooting speed, with a 5 frame/second continuous mode and unusually deep buffer memory. For all its technical sophistication though, the camera avoids any sense of needless technology for technology's sake: The Canon EOS 30D is clearly focused on a single purpose: Helping photographers capture excellent images.
The exceptional nature of the Canon 30D should come as no surprise, given that it's a refinement of an already superb digital SLR, brought up to date with a few features the market's been wanting. The camera performs well in every respect. Color is accurate, image noise very low, resolution excellent, and the camera is very responsive, both to the shutter button, and from shot to shot. The interface is well designed and straightforward; and for current EOS owners it couldn't be more familiar. Because the 30D uses the same sensor as the 20D, it manages to maintain low image noise at high-ISO, on par with its predecessor. Digital Rebel and Rebel XT owners wanting a little more control will also want to give the 30D a look. Anyone looking for the benchmark of quality in a relatively affordable D-SLR with a lens should consider the bundle, which for only $100 more than the body alone includes a versatile and decent quality 18-55mm EF-S lens. Those wanting a little more might want to look at buying the body by itself and purchasing the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, an image-stabilized lens that is versatile enough that most users will never need to change it. Just in case you didn't already guess, the Canon EOS 30D is *highly* recommended!

good resolution for those times/rather cheap
average high-iso performance (but it was quite good at the time)/moderate ergonomics (if we compare it with Nikon D-SLR`s)
Good camera for those times. My first D-SLR. Now-days is very popular at secondhand market especially in Russia.

A great camera
Not modern enough for some
This is now in Digital parlance an old camera
However if you are the sort of photographer who just wants great pictures dont overlook it
I am not interested in movie modes,face recognition ,sensor cleaning (how hard is that?) and all the gizmos that appear in ever increasing quantities on newer models.
I just want a camera that will get out of the way and let me get on with taking pictures.
This one does.
It is very well built, cheap now secondhand, the battery lasts forever, not too heavy so can go anywhere, and apart from a dingy screen is up there with the best.
Only 8 million pixels? Forget it you wont even notice. I used an EOS 450D for a few days. Using the same lens on both cameras, the same comparison shots were indistinguishable as regards recorded detail, no-one I showed the shots to could identify any difference either
The 450D did have nasty noise in the shadow areas at low iso"s which the 30D doesnt.
I wont replace it in the foreseeable future, as I dont see any sense in paying up for the lastest gear only to find it is worth half what I paid for it 6 months down the line. Thats silly.
Get one , you wont regret it!

a well balanced camera overall
not entirely reliable
It was my second DSLR and my first (and so far, the current) Canon.
30D is a well balanced camera for both serious amateurs and low to middle range pros, if you pardon the definition.
I liked the big screen (over the 20D's almost useless one), the responsiveness, the images are great.
The menu/control system could have been more logical, but I can live with it. The way to choose AF points is awkward; you either have to struggle with the (horrible) multi-controller or lose the AE compensation altogether.
The biggest gripe is reliability; in the 1 1/2 years I have this camera, the shutter gave up on me twice... and I don't rape the camera with overuse! Now I'm facing the trouble with the shutter button... it doesn't work very often and I have to resort to the one on BG-E2 battery grip. That's the main reason I'm thinking of upgrading to an 1D... I just can't rely on my 30D completely, at least until the shutter button is fixed. However, if I send it to the repair shop I'll have no camera to shoot... therefore greatly reduced income. Quite a dilemma.

good solid Camera pro camera
streak-noise at high ISO in continuous drive, like most cmos Canons
this is a solid camera...I like this design, good solid frame, no "anti-dust mechanism" to worry about, good viewfinder, good basic control layout, configuration and operation.
It's basically a 5D with a subframe sensor, and 2/3rds the MP. Same pros and cons.
Canon should have just taken this camera and put the 400d sensor in it instead of going through all the motions with the 40D, they would have had a much-better camera.
The one thing that I do not like about the cmos Canons is that they generate a lot of streak-noise at the higher ISOs in continuous drive. This is not a problem at decent eVs but at -3eV or so in continuous drive it really is an issue. Otherwise this would be about perfect, with that, auto-ISO and a status-LCD lamp that stayed on when I turned it on instead of turning itself off after 5 seconds. Still for your basic DSLR this is just about perfect.
But the shadow noise in all of the cmos Canons is just not right, not nice and "random" like a good CCD sensor.

2.5" LCD, snappy performance
Not quite as portable as an XT or XTi (but what do you expect?)
I can't say I'm an expert in using the Picture Styles, but I don't see this as a significant benefit from the parameters in the 20D. They're easier to set up and use, mostly due to the more familiar terms and larger number of options (without being cluttered), but I like to perform my edits in post-production. Perhaps with much experimentation one can find a set of Pictures Styles that are appropriate for favorite venues.
Other than that, it's a remarkable camera for its size and price (though the competition has, for the most part, caught up). Over the 20D I like the larger LCD and option for reducing the burst rate to 3 fps from 5 fps for those occasions when the latter would fill the buffer too quickly. Over the XT the AF system is superior, though it bears no advantage over the XTi's. Greatest benefit of the 30D over the XTi, I would say, is the slightly superior response time in shutter lag for sports applications; as well as the more rapid adjustability of settings e.g. ISO or WB.

Sturdy body, substantial grip, fast shooting
Screen-color off, ummmmm?
Compared to the Rebel XTi/400D, the 30D feels much more substantial . . . more like a real camera. The larger, more solid magnesium body offers a much more reassuring and easy-to-hold grip. The image quality on the 30D is outstanding. Its slight megapixel deficit compared to the XTi/400D is almost impossible to notice, as you need an awfully sharp lens to even resolve at this kind of level.
I do prefer the quick dial on the back of the 30D to the array of buttons on the XTi/400D, but I prefer the tabbed layout of the menu on the XTi/400D to the long-list format on the 30D. All of the buttons and dials on the 30D feel solid and well-assembled -- you feel like you're buying something that will last you quite a while.
Some of the advantages of the 30D over the XTi that I have already enjoyed include a faster peak shooting speed of 5 fps -- something that you don't quite appreciate the value of until you've really used it -- a faster top shutter speed of 1/8000sec which I have used to capture some high-speed photo moments, lower noise at higher ISOs and the abiity to shoot at ISO 3200.
It's hard to find any serious negatives with this camera, but one major thing that bugs me is the greenish-hue of the LCD screen. When I take a photo, I'd like the true colors to display properly on the screen, but they don't. There's always a greenish hue to the images. The images look fine when downloaded and viewed on the computer, but the camera's LCD just doesn't display them at all correctly. I would also like to see the LCD have the same auto-turn-off feature like the XTi/400D has. When I bring my eye up to the viewfinder, the screen stays on until I half-press the shutter. So, there's a moment where my eye is being influenced by the glare of the screen, and in low-light conditions this can result in not being able to see the subject clearly until the screen turns off.
Is this camera worth a few hundred dollars more than the XTi/400D? Well, if you really need the faster shooting-speed or you must have the larger, sturdier, grippier body, than the 30D is for you. However, in my view, the nicer LCD, the self-cleaning sensor, more attractive settings-display, and portablity of the XTi/400D more than make up for some the performance advantages of the 30D. The 30D is a great camera, but I'd be inclined to wait for the 40D, which should combine the best of the 30D and XTi/400D.

Built like a tank, size (feels "right"), improved shutter life, 2.5" LCD panel, wheel & hat instead of buttons (compared to a 350D), better "menu" layout (once more compared to a 350D), spot metering truly works (though is not
Mine had dust on the sensor right out of the box too, but I have to admit that I didn't check on my 350D when it was new if it had it too. Wish it was 12MP intead of 8MP.
I was a happy 350D owner when the opportunity to switch to a 30D came...and since I knew that opportunity may not knock twice my door I decided to inmediatelly sold my (loved) Rebel XT body and got myself the newer 30D.
NOTE: all the comparisons mentioned here are between the 350D and the 30D.
The good:
It's built to last longer: You can feel it as soon as you see the 30D. Anyway I have no complaints about the build quality of the 350D.
Size/Weight: Besides this camera weights a bit more than the 350D, it size makes it more "enjoyable" when you hold it in your hands. It seems like the bigger grip makes it easier to your hands to hold that extra weight. This is definitelly a plus.
Shutter-life: According to the documentation the shutter is rated to last some 100.000 cycles...and, to be honest I expected that to be true on the 350D as well but...anyway that is a plus too.
2.5" LCD: This is really usefull for reviewing....the 350D was a bit too small. And I have the feeling this one is more bright too. Anyway it still gets difficult to see anything outdoors when the sun shines hard.
Wheel & Hat controls: This is an awesome feature...you become addicted to it. Once you try this you don't want to go back to the "control by buttons".
The new menu is "faster" than the 350D's and that is something I wasn't expecting. Interface and controls are so much better and easier to use...
Other +: PC-synchro is a must if you work in a studio or with strobes. The built in flash and the capability of ISO 3200 are very interesting-very welcome additions to the features also.
Finally "true spot-metering": All I have to say about this feature is that it works. Though I still haven't taken advantage of this and to be honest it's not the more exiting feature about the 30D...at least to me. But it works very well.
The bad:
Dust in the sensor right out of the box. This is kind of bizzare...how can that be possible?
I would have traded any of the good things above for some more megapixels....but of course, that could probably kill the 5D.
All in all, a great camera. And quite a good upgrade from a 350D.
Some pics taken with it:

(vs. Rebels) Rugged Body, Nice "Nose" dial
Wish it had higher internal memory (for burst shots), Weather sealing..
Instead of writing a full review (you can find lots of them online), I'd rather share my personal experience with this camera
This is my first dSLR, I chose this primarily because of its stronger body and the extra dial control.. And believe me, it's worth it.. those two points are reasons enough..
When the 400D was released, at first I was surprised that they offered the same number of AF (i've seen reports that the rebel is even faster). But I still like this body better because of the reasons given above (esp. the dial control -- similar to 5D).
IQ, of course is top-notch, although I believer that you need to learn how to use your baby first before you can maximize its potential. (hardware and DPP wise)
Would I recommend this camera for those who want to upgrade? Well the release cycle for Canon bodies is 18 months, that would be in 7 months, if you can wait that long then you might hold on to your current body first.. Remember this is a simple upgrade over 20D, no dramatic revolution.. I'm sure they would include more AF points, self-cleaning, 12MP.. so there..
But for new buyers, yeah sure, i'm this would last you for a long time..

Good size and decent build quality
None I can personally attest to
I don't personally own this camera but my son does having recently purchased it for about $1,100 in place of the original Rebel. He uses it to shoot family pictures just starting up a home business to enhance income. He has two professional grade Canon lenses (24-105 IS, 70-200 IS). These lenses are about as good as it gets for the professional/semi-professional user. The picture quality from these lenses is truely superb!
If I didn't already have a sizeable investment in Nikon lenses I would be tempted to buy this camera for it's many virtues and use of CF storage media. I have large hands and find the 30D fits me very well and the build quality is great.
I like the general size and features of this camera and find that it would be a reasonable substitute for the Nikon D200, at a lower price, for the move up DSLR buyer if they don't have a committment to a large supply of lenses. Although argueably this is not quite the level of camera that the Nikon D200 is in regard to environmental seals etc. it still has some very compelling features including excellent out of camera photos.
One of the big drawbacks to Canon DSLR cameras is the high cost of "good" lenses compared to comparable Nikon lenses. I use the term "Good" to mean sub-professional grade lenses suited to advanced amature consumer users. I believe Nikon has a significant edge in this area given the Nikon 18-200 VR which sells for about $750 and is about the top of the range for average consumers in this market. Even 3rd Party lenses don't provide acceptable alternatives at reasonable prices for Canon users. Canon has recently released some better grade consumer quality lenses but has a long way to go in this respect.
If you are looking to upgrade from the original Rebel or Rebel XT, I highly recommend that you skip the XTI and buy the 30D instead as it is light years ahead of that camera in build quality and ergonometry.

great build, fast response
not muich of an upgrade from the 20D
Canon's midrange line (xxD cameras) are all superb. I've had all of them - D30, D60, 10D, 20D. Call me an addict - I admit it. =)
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this as an upgrade to the 10D or any camera before it (and also the Rebel line), but as an upgrade to the 20D, bottom line is that you get a bigger screen.
Still, it's a great camera in its own right.

solid construction, 9 point AF, 2.5" LCD, fast 5/second, 1/3 step ISO
Nothing really.
I recently moved up from the Rebel XT and am loving the more advanced features of the 30d. Also I find that the picture quality has been slightly better. Of course this is a bit subjective but somehow the quality is more pleasing using Neutral out of the camera than the XT. (Use Raw and PS CS2 and this is a non-issue of course.) However I admit that I was in a bit of a quandry when I was about to press the "buy now" button. It is a bit of a bummer to know that the 40d will probably come out in the next 6 months or so sporting over 10 megapixels with the lastest DiGiCIII chip as well as other improvements. (e.g., Sensor cleaning?) My guess is that it will be a proper revolutionary change rather than an evolutionary one over the 20d so would make a very compelling buy. I have also been reading that the new XTi is faster in the autofocus department over the 30d and sports the 9 point focus points so the XTi is quite compelling as well.
So why did I opt out of the XTi or waiting for the 40d? First, the size of the XT was a pain for me. It's too small to hold comfortably so i had been resorting to using the bg-e3, which adds quite a lot of bulk to an otherwise svelte camera. Secondly, I like the 5 shots per second speed. Finally, thanks to the Canon rebates going on right now coupled with some great internet pricing, the cost wasn't so bad considering the added benefits and features of the 30d over the XT. So far the quality of the camera has been shining through and am looking forward to spending a long time with it.
Will I be struck by upgrade-itis when the 40d does finally arrive? Dang right! But unless I have some incredibly compelling reason to do so, like get a career in photography, I think the 30d will do just fine for what I need it to do.

Wonderful IQ, well built and fast.
The worst LCD screen I've ever seen. Lack of configuration. Useless DPOF button.
After a lot of time searching in the internet and reading reviews I decided for the Canon 30D, although it was quite expensive in Spain:
The 350D is too small for my hands, not very solid and has a tiny viewfinder.
Nikon has an horrible customer service in my country, and the lenses are much more expensive.
The camera IQ is wonderful, it clearly surpases my skills as photographer and the limits of my lenses.
It works very fast, although I would like to have the on/off button better positionated (as Nikon or Pentax)
The construction quality is very good and the viewfinder is quite big and clear for an APS-C camera. It shows the ISO while you are changing it.
My main complains are the LCD screen and the lack of configuration options in the camera.
The LCD is bad, very bad, it's a shame that Canon put that on a camera and try to sell it: no anti-reflective coating, it washed out very easily, color not very good. Now I only use the screen to check the histogram ...
The other 'problem' is the lack of configuration options, you can set the Fn options and little more: No auto-ISO configuration, no custom curves (as Nikon) nor profiles (as 5D, 1D), etc. And we get an useless DPOF button instead of a MRLU button, or a set exposure button for M mode.
Another thing that annoys me it's that I can't use my RC-1 IR remote (from my old Elan-7), as in a 350D or 400D. It's cheap, it's very useful for long expositions, and only need a little IR receiver ...

Great Build Quality
No ISO in Viewfinder
This is my first DSLR. I must confess that I almost went for the new 400D, but having held its predecessor I decided to go for the fuller camera. I am glad I did. I am loving this camera.
Having come from a point & shoot I am absolutely thrilled with the possibilities. I am especially happy about being able to shoot in RAW and then having extra flexibility while in post-processing. This is an incredible feature for those shots I just don't quite get right in camera (although I am striving to get it right the first time!). I am very happy with the image quality even at higher ISO - there is very little grain.
The feel in my hand is just perfect. I thought I would need the battery grip, but I am going to hold off on it for now.
The 2.5" LCD is just beautiful. Again compared to my Canon S2 IS this is a huge leap forward. I also love being able to view the histogram either in color or RGB settings. The histogram is such an incredible tool for the amateur like myself.
I still have much to learn, but I honestly thought it would be harder to learn how to use this camera, but since receiving it I have only shot in manual or TV / AV and have produced some pretty good pictures.
Through reading Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure I am learning how important my light meter is and I am thoroughly enjoying taking more thoughtful pictures with my light meter readings and exposures. I am no longer left guessing.
To end this post - I am having lots of fun and believe I will continue to do so for a while now. I just need to get some more glass!
And by the way - with the current rebates subtract up to $ 200 off if you buy an additional lens or accessory!

Lots of useful features for the price, good build
no constant iso display in viewfinder
Coming from Nikon film cameras, this purchase was an agonising one. Nikon has served me well but when it came time to go digital the choice wasn't so clear. Both brands make great cameras but all of my old Nikon glass was manual focus and wouldn't work (meter) on any Nikon digital less than the D200. I couldn't see $400 dollars difference (at the time I purchased) in features. Besides, my aging eyes were pushing me away from manual focus so I would have had to buy new lenses anyway. Since I have started using the 30D I have been blown away by it. This is a great camera and a great value (especially now). It has worked flawlessly for thousands of images. The batteries seem to last forever and the camera handles great. My only complaint is that the iso setting isn't shown continuiously in the viewfinder. It's funny how I noticed this coming from an Nikon F3 but it would be a handy feature. I know some people were disappointed that the 30D wasn't a big step up from the 20D but I've been extemely happy with mine. My Nikons are collecting dust because of it. I never thought that would happen but this is a great little camera.

Professional camera for prosumer price; high iso performance; fast; good controls.
no built-in anti shake makes need for expensive IS lenses; no anti-dust
I started considering SLR when those pictures of my kids kept being out of focus, moved, or failed in any other way.
I originally bought a 350D. Quite happy with the results but I didnt like the small grip and I realized I was being cheap on the camera while buying expensive lenses (17-55 IS EF-S) that are quite heavy. So I sold it and bought the 30D. Never regretted it. It's just a fantastic camera that never disappoints. Anti-dust is an important new feature for digital cameras though and although I wouldnt go with the again much smaller 400D, I will likely repeat the earlier trick (sell-buy) for a "40D" if that would include that technology. However, if you want to buy now, you wont regret the 30D.

responsive, intuitive controls, excellent images, value
lacks customizable controls (a little too basic), not weather-sealed, sorta paltry viewfinder and buttons
My first dSLR and I love every minute of it, despite the shortcomings.
I do wish however the viewfinder had a larger magnification, grid line options and other 1-series options that I can only dream of, and that the buttons were bigger for easier handling of the camera. Speaking of which, another 1-series thing I can only dream of is more customizable features and more menu options, but then imagine the price...
Also, the weather-sealing issue is sorta getting to me; there were some instances when the camera starting acting up when the humidity that day was high, and I got very worried... Are you listening Canon?
But listen to this Canon: I still like what you are doing with the 30D.
The control layout makes a lot of sense with the command wheel and the joystick
the CMOS sensor continues to amaze me with its low-light capabilities
I like how the grip got changed from the 20D and how there is more of an indent befor e the shutter release button (it made a huge difference!)
keep up bundling excellent software with your products
5 fps is great for fast action (though the buffer needs to catch up to such performance)
I highly recommend the Canon EOS 30D.
*edit (12/1/06)*
DPP's noise reduction algorithm reallllyyyy needs work, but at least it's a start and it's there...

Subtle, multi-speed controls connect to centrifugal blowers while halogen lighting brilliantly accents the easy to clean stainless steel bottom containing dishwasher safe filters. The E661 high performance range hood beautifully combines high style and modern convenience to satisfy even the most discerning homeowner.

Chronological evolution of the LDC work programme and
introduction to the concept of NAPA
+ LDCs under the Convention
Article 4.9 of
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) recognizes the special situation of the
Least Developed Countries (LDCs), and states:
"The Parties shall take full account of the specific needs and special situations of the Least
Developed Countries in their actions with regard to funding and transfer of technology".
Five major decisions were adopted at COP 7 as follows:
Elements of the LDC work programme
5/CP.7 of the 7th Conference of the Parties (COP) acknowledged the specific situations of LDCs, in
that they do not have the means to deal with problems associated with adaptation to climate change, and
established an LDC work programme, which includes:
Scope for capacity-building
In the capacity-building framework for developing countries, in the annex to the decision 2/CP.7, paragraph
17, the specific scope for capacity building in the LDCs is presented and includes:
The Least Developed Countries, and Small Islands Developing States amongst them, are among the most
vulnerable to extreme weather events and the adverse effects of climate change. They also have the least
capacity to cope with and adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. The following is the initial
assessment of needs and priority areas for capacity building in these countries:
(a) Strengthening existing and, where needed, establishing national climate change secretariat or focal
points to enable the effective implementation of the Convention and effective participation in the Kyoto
Protocol process, including preparation of national communications;
(b) Developing an integrated implementation programme which takes into account the role of research and
training in capacity building;
(c) Developing and enhancing technical capacities and skills to carry out and effectively integrate
vulnerability and adaptation assessment into sustainable development programmes and develop national
adaptation programmes of action;
(d) Strengthening existing and, where needed, establishing national research and training institutions in
order to ensure the sustainability of the capacity-building programmes;
(e) Strengthening the capacity of meteorological and hydrological services to collect, analyse, interpret
and disseminate weather and climate information to support implementation of national adaptation programmes
of action;
(f) Enhancing public awareness (level of understanding and human capacity development).
Rationale for NAPAs
In order to address the urgent adaptation needs of the LDCs, a new approach was needed that would focus on
enhancing adaptive capacity to climate variability, which itself would help address the adverse effects of
climate change. The NAPA takes into account existing coping strategies at the grassroots level, and builds
upon that to identify priority activities, rather than focusing on scenario-based modeling to assess future
vulnerability and long-term policy at state level. In the NAPA process, prominence is given to
community-level input as an important source of information, recognizing that grassroots communities are the
main stakeholders.
NAPAs provide a process for the LDCs to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and
immediate needs with regard to adaptation to climate change. The rationale for NAPAs rests on the limited
ability of the LDCs to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change.
Focus of NAPAs
The NAPAs focus on urgent and immediate needs - those for which further delay could increase vulnerability or
lead to increased costs at a later stage. NAPAs are designed to use existing information; and no new research
is needed. They must be action-oriented and country-driven and be flexible and based on national
circumstances. Finally, in order to effectively address urgent and immediate adaptation needs, NAPA documents
should be presented in a simple format, easily understood both by policy-level decision-makers and by the
The main content of the NAPA document a list of ranked priority adaptation activities and projects, as well
as short profiles of each activity or project, designed to facilitate the development of proposals for
implementation of the NAPA.
The NAPA preparation process
The steps for the preparation of the NAPAs include synthesis of available information,
participatory assessment of vulnerability to current climate variability and extreme events and of areas
where risks would increase due to climate change, identification of key adaptation measures as well as
criteria for prioritizing activities, and selection of a prioritized short list of activities.
The development of a NAPA also includes short profiles of projects and/or activities intended to address
urgent and immediate adaptation needs of LDC Parties.
Upon completion, the NAPA is submitted to the UNFCCC secretariat, where it is posted on the website, and the
LDC Party becomes eligible to apply for funding for implementation of the NAPA under the LDC Fund. A copy of
the NAPA is also sent to the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
To facilitate access to priorities identified in the NAPAs, the secretariat has developed a NAPA Priorities
The NAPA implementation process
Once a NAPA has been submitted to the UNFCCC secretariat, the LDC Party can start the process of
implementation under the LDC Fund, which is managed by the
GEF. To initiate implementation, an LDC Party prepares a concept note and requests an implementing agency of
the GEF (currently there are 10 of them), to assist it in submitting a proposal for funding to the GEF under
the LDC Fund. The GEF agency then works with the country to develop the concept into a full project that is
ready for implementation under the GEF project cycle.
The GEF cycle includes a sequence of steps that includes
submission of a project identification form (PIF), followed by a project preparation grant (PPG), then a
full-sized project (FSP) proposal. Each of these stages is either approved by the GEF Chief Operating Officer
and/or the GEF Council. This interactive process with the country is supported by funds to assist the country
fully develop the project and prepare the relevant project documents for submission. The GEF agency works
very closely with the country during each successive step, and ultimately supports the country in
implementing the project.

We put this CD together KNOWING that Wesley would be around when it came out. Yet despite initial optimism in his battle against leukemia, his health took a turn for the worst and he passed away suddenly at the end of August 2003 at the age of 40. He will be greatly missed by his friends and hordes of music & art fans the world over. This enhanced CD is yet another celebration of Wesley's life.
Compiled by noted Wesley scholar Jello Biafra, "Greatest Hits, Volume 3" again culls the chestnuts from dozens of self-produced Wesley CDs, to unreleased and very early classics hardly anyone knew existed. Like Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Wesley Willis has created a persona so unique, no one dares try to imitate it. And boy has he put a spell on us.
Sure, many of his songs sound similar. But Jello created a great selection here displaying as many different sounding sopngs as possible; from the hard-rockin' Wesley Willis Fiasco tracks (Do It), to his playful use of vocal effects (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) and even the lo-fi new wave sound. (Gingerbread Knoched Me Out)
This CD has 25 songs and the enhanced part contains great video montage of Wesley as well as artwork, photos, sound samples, and liner notes by Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins. So tune in for a true harmony joyride from Rock & Roll's most beautiful mind & spirit - Wesley Willis.
Rock Over London...Rock on Chicago...Long Live Wesley Willis

Sending a gift to a soldier is perhaps the most selfless, thoughtful thing anyone can do. It doesn't really matter whether you have a relative in the military or not; you can still give soldier gifts as an act of goodwill. Nothing will warm the hearts of our soldiers better than to receive a soldier gift package, especially in a place where they'll most definitely miss the warmth of the family and the company of their friends. However, sending soldier gifts may seem rather tedious since it's not as if you can simply send the packages directly to the soldiers. As with most thing, sending soldier gifts requires you to follow proper procedures (for one, these stringent procedures protect the soldiers from receiving potentially harmful gifts; you'll never know who can use the soldier gift postage as a means to cause harm).
Sending soldier gifts
So does this mean one has to have relatives or at least know someone from the military to send soldiers care packages? Not exactly—while you can directly send your soldier gift package to a specific individual, you can still give gifts to the military in general. However, these two have separate procedures.
Sending a soldier gift package directly is easy. First, you need to obtain the gifts you will include in your soldier gif package. While this step seems rather obvious, the reason why you need to take of this is because you will have to list down the items on your soldier gift package on the customs form. You need to list down all of the items on the package as well as its quantity.
Now, if you're using the flat rate boxes, it would cost you a little less than nine dollars. However, take note: the United States Postal Service actually offers free postage materials (hence eliminating the need to buy those boxes and envelopes). The package includes 10 boxes, custom forms, as well as "Mili-Pac" envelopes. These materials are specific for soldier gift postage.
However, if you do not have a relative or even an acquaintance in the military, you will have to send gifts in a different fashion. This is because soldier gifts can no longer be addressed to "Any Soldier" as a means of security.
It is suggested that you can send your soldier gift package through another relative or friend. Still, if this isn't possible, you can find organizations and groups that will send your soldier gifts to the military. Websites such as TreatsftheTroops.org accept the soldier gifts and will send them by bulk to the military. The American Red Cross also has a similar program called the "Holiday Mail for Heroes."
Soldier gift tips
Once you've decided you will give soldier holiday gifts for sure, you have to consider the gifts you need to give them. Of course, anything you give will be appreciated. But wouldn't you prefer that the soldier gifts you send will be used as well as appreciated?
There are three things you can consider when sending a soldier gift package: gifts that are not gender specific; gifts that can be used easily and immediately; gifts that are practical.
Of course, these considerations do not apply when you are giving a gift to a specific soldier. However, if you want to give soldier gifts simply out of good will, these considerations should ensure that majority of those in the troops who received your package will be able to enjoy them. Sending a soldier gift package filled with women's toiletries will be very useful for the ladies in the military, but what about the men?
Your soldier gift package should be enjoyed by everyone. This means that you should try to include more than one of every item to ensure everyone can enjoy it. Usually, this should be applied when sending soldier gifts such as crossword puzzle books or Sudoku puzzle books (which many gift senders are including in their packages).
There are also certain gift items that are not permitted. For instance, pornographic and obscene materials are not permitted to be included in the soldier gift package. Materials that are against Islam and Muslim are prohibited too—remember that the soldiers are in a Muslim country. Because of this, pork and other pork-based products are also not allowed as well.
Should the soldier gift package always contain practical items? Not quite—many people who send gifts to soldiers usually include some gifts for leisure. In fact, as mentioned earlier, a lot of people are sending in Sudoku puzzle books and crossword puzzle books for the soldiers. Some even send paperback books too, as well as DVD movies and other forms of entertainment. These gifts will help soldiers spend the time while they are not in action. This isn't to give the impression that our soldiers are not doing anything outside the country. They are—but they do it by shifts. And when they are not in action or assigned to do the tasks, what else can they do?
Surprisingly, some people also send holiday decors as their holiday Soldier gifts, to boost the troops' morale during the holiday season.
Be careful with food items as well. Obviously, it's not wise to send permissible items. Chocolates, candies, canned goods, and beef jerky, for instance are good items for a soldier gift package because they will not spoil easily. Of course, if you want to send your loved one some baked cookies, for example, you can; just make sure you wrap it properly so it would not spoil so easily. Be sure to mark any goods you made yourself. Indicate if it has nuts or any possible allergens so soldiers with allergies to prevent any medical problems.
Other non-food gift ideas include practical items such as toiletries (because they always need toiletries), underwear (try to include male and female underwear), newspapers and magazines, notepads of paper, microwaveable plates and bowls, coffee, Ziplock bags, chewing gum, and even seemingly not practical items such as disposable cameras, dice, and playing cards, among many others.

INTERPOL Chief's visit to Tajikistan underscores security priorities in Central Asia
DUSHANBE, Tajikistan – On his first official visit to Tajikistan INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble met the country's Minister of Internal Affairs and Head of Police, Ramazon Rakhimov, to review security challenges in Tajikistan and Central Asia and ascertain how INTERPOL's global tools and network can further help address these.
In addition to terrorism and border security, drug smuggling and human trafficking were key issues on the agenda during Mr Noble's visit. Tajikistan is confronted by serious policing challenges posed by transnational crime gangs exploiting its long borders to transit drugs across the country and beyond. It is also a source country for men, women and children who fall victim to human trafficking, often coerced into forced labour and prostitution.
"Tajikistan is committed to working with international partners for support against transnational organized crimes such as drug trafficking and terrorism. Expanding international law enforcement cooperation with INTERPOL, the world's largest international police organization, is essential to fighting such crimes and is important to national and regional security," said Minister Rakhimov.
With the INTERPOL Chief also meeting during his visit the Head of INTERPOL's National Central Bureau in Dushanbe, Dzhamshed Mashrapov, Mr Noble said: "Strong security cooperation with Tajikistan and Central Asia underpins the efforts of law enforcement worldwide against terrorism and international crime."
In this respect Secretary General Noble cited how the enhanced use by Tajikistan of INTERPOL's global tools had seen the number of INTERPOL Notices issued so far in 2013 at the country's request reach a historical high. Tajikistan's use of INTERPOL's Stolen Motor Vehicle database also doubled between 2011 and 2012.
"The law enforcement authorities in Tajikistan understand the continuing and enhanced need for an international collaborative approach against transnational organized crime, and the role played by INTERPOL's global policing tools in empowering frontline officers to ensure greater security for citizens," added Mr Noble.
Also on the agenda during Mr Noble's mission to Dushanbe was INTERPOL's Travel Document, intended to ease the provision of urgent assistance by the world police body to its 190 member countries and the deployment of law enforcement officials travelling on INTERPOL-related matters.
To date, 60 countries have recognized the INTERPOL Travel Document in both its forms (e-Passport Booklet and/or e-Identification Card).
Mr Noble's mission to Tajikistan was his 166th official visit to an INTERPOL member country since he was first elected Secretary General in 2000, marking his ongoing commitment to learn first-hand the needs of member countries and identify ways that INTERPOL can help them keep their citizens safe and fight crime internationally.

How Banks Can Overcome Disintermediation
Disintermediation has haunted banks for a long time, with the internet, Quicken, PayPal, Walmart, American Express and peer-to-peer lending names as causes. None, so far, have lived up to the disintermediation hype.
But, is the game changing? A phenomenon and a new market development may be the starting point.
The iPhone and, arguably, Android devices are the phenomenon. Before the iPhone, BlackBerry was the dominant mobile device for businesses. The original BlackBerry was fantastic for email, contacts and calendars, but not as a mobile application delivery platform. Now, the iPhone and other smart phones and tablets have effectively bridged over to the corporate world. Their impact on banks is accelerating.
The new market development is major consumer brands leveraging the distribution reach of the smart phones and tablets entering the bank space, targeting small and midsized businesses (SMBs).
Is Banking SMBs Up for Grabs?
Here's how things are starting to play out.
Banks have long enjoyed a de facto status of providing SMBs with lending and financial deposit accounts. The power of "loans & deposits" is enormous; it tethers the SMB to its bank, which the bank then monetizes by cross-selling additional services. However, smart phones are changing the game and some large, well-known brands are targeting banks in these areas:
Treasury Management
Many well-known technology brands have launched iPhone and Android mobile apps and card swipe devices that allow SMBs to process credit and debit cards using mobile phones and tablets. On the surface, this advancement may seem inconsequential, especially given the slow adoption among the more established SMBs. Square, Intuit and a few others have, so far, been most successful in the microbusiness market.
However, three things can't be overlooked. First, credit and debit card processing, or merchant services, is a core treasury management product that has long been the domain of banks. Second, Square processing all credit and debit cards for all Starbucks locations gives Square a few thousand "home bases" from which to market its mobile payments service. Lastly, major brands like Amazon, PayPal and Groupon have entered the mobile credit card processing space, bundling other services targeted at SMBs.
Lending is a tricky business that banks have mastered. Economic ebbs and flows like the recent recession, can limit access to banking capital but, directionally, lending is core banking. Recently, Amazon and Google launched lending products. Along with its e-commerce site and mobile payments solution, Amazon has launched a small business loan program.
Amazon gains security from being the business' virtual landlord and having a sizable deposit as an SMB's merchant account. Google just announced a line-of-credit program to help SMBs fund advertising on Google properties, while freeing capital for those SMBs to use in other areas. If there's uptake, other super brands will surely follow in these footsteps.
Deposits are a bank's lifeline, since deposits generate more funds available for lending. And, many treasury management products -- including business checking, ACH/wire deposit, merchant services and payroll accounts -- result in deposits. Mobile credit card processing is powerful because the provider gains access to all those credit and debit card deposits.
So, instead of the bank being the only depository account, Square, Intuit, PayPal and Groupon are bundling a merchant account and gaining a share of an SMB's deposits. And banks should now be concerned that two of their more traditional rivals, Walmart and American Express, are teaming up to develop a mobile prepaid card that will also act as an electronic checking account.
Best Practices
Undoubtedly, banks and financial services companies, especially larger banks, aren't defenseless. Many have deployed a number of consumer-targeted mobile apps, such as mobile bill payment and e-check deposit. Mobile apps for businesses, however, are scarcer and generally deliver simple information, like account alerts.
Let's face it. It's not in a bank's DNA to develop progressive mobile apps comparable to what the major brands are developing. So banks shouldn't try. Instead, they should outsource mobile development to technology companies and then focus on best practices, or the back-office, which is what banks do best.
The major brands only know the front-office: the customer interface. Amazon has conquered the e-commerce customer experience. Square's mobile user interface is simple and clean. Google is minimalistic and integrated with all things Google. However, none of these brands offer SMBs the ability to easily integrate usable data to their back-office accounting or ERP solutions, which is where an SMB feels pain. This is a bank's core competency.

When learning math, getting stumped without knowing what next is very common. However, before you let go of that pen and paper and scream I hate math to the top of your lungs, take time to read this article.
If you have read other articles or books on how to solve math problems, this article will not really provide anything new. However, this provides you with a simple step by step approach to help you through each math problem you encounter.
How do you go about solving a difficult math problem?
Before discussing the steps, you must realize how keeping an open mind about math will improve your performance greatly. You may dislike math, but reminding yourself over and over will make you worse off. So, try assuming even just for a few minutes, that math is manageable. As it actually is.
So, here it goes.
In every math problem, you have to ask yourself 4 very important questions, which are:
1. What information am I given?In this part, you can do any one or more of the following:
• List down the information and facts given in the word problem, along with units and other details
• Point out key words and underline or circle them. There are hundreds of key words possible such as area, speed, factor, per, for every, among many others
• Watch out for units that are mixed. Units are important information, so never neglect them.
• Express the information in the form of math symbols, for example speed is distance over time.
2. What information is being asked?On this step, make sure you do the following:
• Know what the problem expects you to find. Check if it has to be expressed in certain units.
• Express your goal in terms of math symbols, if possible. If you are being asked for the area of a circle, express it as A = pi*r*r
3. What can I do with the given information?
• Play around with the facts you are given. Check what information you can get with the given and see whether it brings you closer to the information you have to solve for.
• Don t hesitate to manipulate the information one step at a time. Simplify the problem if it is relatively complicated.
• Make a picture or diagram, or even a table or chart. if the situation calls for it.
• Look for certain distinct pattern if applicable.
• If the problem seems difficult to understand, find a way to restate the problem which might be easier to grasp.
• Keep manipulating until you arrive at an answer.
4. Does my answer make sense?
• Once you have successfully found a way to solve the problem, check if it makes sense.
• Read the problem again and understand it once more.
• Check if you have the right units, as asked.
• Think of a way to confirm if your answer is right, if there is at all.
Solving math problems should not be tough if you keep your mind and heart open. Start with these 4 questions and see how you ll fare.

Want to know why that is Mr. Roberston? Because Mini has always produced front wheel drive cars. The Mini Cooper BMW produces drives like a modern Mini should. It is an excellent front wheel drive platform but at no point has anyone ever said it is a substitute for rear wheel drive BMW's. Mr. Roberston's analogy makes about as much sense as someone saying a Chrysler 300M will drive just like a Ferrari simply because nobody has questioned FIAT regarding Ferrari's driving dynamics.
BMW built its reputation as producing the ultimate driving machine based on rear wheel drive cars. Clearly, this is all about money as FWD cars are cheaper and easier to produce in order to move the brand further down market to pick up profits in the low end. BMW is sacrificing its image for money and Ian Roberston seems to have no problem with that. We wish there were more people in influential BMW positions like Jim O'Donnel who won't BS you.
The whole point of Mini is for the front wheel drives. Let Mini be Mini and let BMW be BMW. Why push BMW where it doesn't belong? Why not let Mini expand to be what it can be? The lines are already clearly drawn, don't blur them pointlessly.
Mr. Robertson went on to say the following, I think we are very, very capable of developing a front wheel-drive platform that has certain advantages in terms of the design and the use of space, and at the same time will be a BMW as you always expected it to be. Take the badge and the heritage out of it and put the capability into it. Capability is what is important. The whole essence of what you experience from a rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive, customers expect it to be a BMW and that is what is driving us.
You know what our response is to that load of crap? BMW's own response to it:

Senate Panel to Vet Lew for U.S. Treasury Secretary Next Week
The Senate Finance Committee will hold a hearing on Feb. 13 to consider the nomination of Jacob "Jack" Lew for Treasury secretary, the committee said on Wednesday.
Committee chairman Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, will question Lew "about his experience, his views on fiscal policy and ideas for spurring economic growth" at the 10 a.m. (1500 GMT) hearing, the committee said.
"We have a tremendous amount of work to do over the next couple months to get our fiscal house in order. It is my hope that - after a thorough vetting process - Jack Lew will be quickly confirmed so he can help tackle our country's pressing economic issues," Baucus said in the committee statement.
Lew was recently Obama's chief of staff and a former White House budget director.

AmpliTube 3 raises the industry standard of sound variety, realism and creative power—with over 160 precisely modeled pieces of vintage and modern gear available in one package—it is the ultimate gear tone collection for players, producers and engineers.
Features include:
• Over 160 gear models included (with nearly 100 added models), more than double the amount of other packages, from the most sought-after vintage collections to modern-day workhorses
• 51 Stompbox effects, 31 Amps, 46 Cabinets, 15 Studio Mics and 17 Rack effects
• 30 brand new models for the most complete anthology of gear, ever
• 70 re-worked and superior sounding models from packages like AmpliTube Metal and AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix

• All models in AmpliTube 3 have been ultra-accurately "remastered" with our new 3rd generation modeling technology (the same found in AmpliTube Fender), using IK's exclusive DSM technology (Dynamic Saturation Modeling), then painstakingly compared with the originals in "A/B" style to ensure that the sound you hear from the software is the same sound you'll be hearing from the gear.
• New impulse-based reverbs are now used in the entire chain, from spring reverb to room ambience, which ensures the most realistic possible representation of your recording environment

Water samples are not taken at this beach because it has not been designated as a bathing water and there is no voluntary sampling. You can use the beach map to find the closest beach that is tested for water quality.
Why isn't this a designated bathing water?
High levels of bacteria in the water can indicate pollution from sewage treatment works or polluted rain water draining from the land. Where does pollution comes from and how can you help?
Water quality can be reduced for up to 72 hours after heavy rain. Look out for temporary signs at the beach and on our website.
2017 Not tested
At the end of every bathing season the water quality is classified as either-
Excellent – the highest classification meaning the water is cleanest
Good – generally good water quality
Sufficient – meets minimum standards
Poor – You are advised not to swim. The beach will stay open and an action plan should be in place to improve the water quality.

Our volunteers have been surveying rubbish on UK beaches for over 20 years. In that time shoreline litter had more than doubled and plastic has gone up by 180%!
MCS beach cleans are run all year round with our flagship event 'Great British Beach Clean' in September.
Volunteers record the litter they find - we use this information to help Governments and industry understand how to stop the rubbish getting there in the first place. We also promote behaviour change among the public using the data collected.
Within 10 miles of Pilling Sands beach
There are currently no beach cleans within 10 miles of this beach!
All of our cleans are run by volunteers so why not organise your own? We've got loads of information to help you get started.

Invention – Always a Xerox Tradition
Invention has always been a Xerox tradition. One of Xerox's best-known inventions was launched to the public in 1959: the Xerox 914 automatic, plain paper copier. Ever since, we've been unstoppable.
Today Xerox Corporation is still one of the world's top technology innovators, with research and technology centres in the United States, Canada, Europe and India. These centres explore the unknown, invent next-generation technology, architect product platforms, manage intellectual property, and conduct work in colour science, computing, systems, novel materials, and other disciplines connected to our expertise in printing and document management. Xerox embeds these inventions in our products and solutions, uses them as the foundation of new business, and licenses or sells them to other entities.
We believe in innovation everywhere – from how we work, to what we deliver. Our world-renowned research centres operate in four countries on three continents and continue to turn what was once thought impossible into new products. In each of these centres you'll find teams of dedicated, talented and motivated professionals working together in new ways. That's how our products continue to lead the industry. Sound like somewhere you'd like to work? Join us!
Where We Invent

Active programs in Budapest
What better way to explore Budapest than on two wheels? Luckily there are bike rentals scattered all over the city offering bikes for all tastes and sizes. Go for a renovated old-school city bike to blend in with the locals, a tandem to share the fun with your sweetheart or one with a kid's seat if you are with the family. Cycle paths make for a safe adventure.
For some active chilling Budapester-style, make your way to Margaret Island. In the warm months locals flock here to throw their frisbees and play badminton. Make sure to rent a Bringó hintó, a pedal-driven car and take your pals on a crazy ride across the island.
There are caves galore in Budapest, as there are in the rest of Hungary, and some of them happen to stretch under our busy capital. The Stalagmite Cave of Pálvölgy is the biggest and certainly the most beautiful among the caves underneath the city. It never gets boring as every corner is different, from the theatre-hall with its superb acoustics to the fairy tale-like formations of the Fable World (kids will love this). Some dripstones remind visitors of elephants, some of crocodiles, others of huge glistering Christmas trees!
Looking for a physical challenge? Kőkaland Sport & Adventure Park offers all kinds of weird yet fun activities that will make your adrenalin rise. The Wild Adventure package includes driving a quad and a monster truck, shooting and searching for bombs – sounds exciting, right? Another option is to cook a soup – but get all the ingredients through all kinds of crazy challenges first! Use your GPS, ride disfunctional bikes and perform an air-ballet five metres in the air to get what you need.
For a physical and mental challenge of a different kind, head to Ability Park. Navigate your wheelchair on the obstacle course (wheelchair-user animators will show you all the tricks), take part in memory and logic games using the sign language (these activities are led by staff members with hearing impairment), test your senses of smell and touch with help of the visually impaired, or head to the Miracle City and try to figure out the rules of this virtual town with the support of your mentally disabled mentors. Try disability – the other way round. This thematic amusement park has received a bunch of national and international awards for shifting social attitude in a fun and playful manner. It's definitely worth giving it a try.
Have you ever been to a lasertagdisco? We thought not... Tagmasterz is kind of a unique invention after all. It was developed out of the traditional lasertag and airsoft games into a completely new experience, one that is probably closest to what being in a video game must feel like. The DJ provides the tunes in the 2500 m2 cellar system, equipped with the latest light and sound technique, filled with lots of smoke, while you and your team mates battle it out.
For fun on horseback, head to the HSH Ranch. It's located in the picturesque Danube bend, on Szentendre Island and offers everything horsefans will love. Take your horse (or pony) of the day out into nature – the island is really beautiful and worth being explored!
If you feel you're in need of some speed, then kart-racing might be the right choice. Gokartring is Budapest's first go-kart track and by far the longest covered one at 420 metres long. The karts come from French manufacturer Sodi and are available in four categories: one for kids, one for juniors and two for adults: 160 cm3 and 200 cm3.
Are you striving to get high into the air? Get into a hot-air balloon then. The balloons of the Balloon Club can take you up from 50 to 1200 metres. Don't expect anything radical here though, this activity is about peace and quiet. The balloons fly slowly, at about 5-15 km/h (which is about the speed of a jogger...) there is no noisy motor, only the wind and a fantastic 360° view.
