Rapid Assessment of the upper Río Cuyuní, Venezuela
Selby Botanical Gardens joined forces with Conservation International-Venezuela, its local partner the La Salle Foundation of Natural Sciences, and 10 other institutions to conduct an intensive biological inventory of the upper Río Cuyuní basin in Venezuela, on the northern flanks of the Sierra de Lema and Venezuela's Lost World. Twenty-five biologists from nine scientific disciplines worked for 16 days to survey an area threatened by illegal gold mining operations and which may be heavily impacted by a proposed large open pit mine. For more information, visit www.selby.org and go to the Research section. Major financing for the expedition was provided by Gold Reserve de Venezuela - Brisas del Cuyuní. Photos by Bruce Holst unless indicated by an EL (Edward Lohnes) or AL (Leanne Alonso).
Searching for Botanical Gold in Venezuela's Lost World - Bruce K. Holst
Selby Gardens recently joined forces with Conservation International-Venezuela and 11 partner institutions to conduct an intensive biological and ecological survey of a southern Venezuelan river system threatened by gold and copper mining operations. This river system drains a major portion of the Sierra de Lema, a mountain range that forms the northern flank of the "Lost World." The Lost World was made famous by Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 1800s and is known for its spectacular table mountains, for Angel Falls , the highest waterfall in the world, and for thousands of beautiful plants found nowhere else on earth. With illegal gold mining rampant in the area and a 2,400 foot deep open-pit gold and copper mine proposed by a Canadian mining company in the final stages of permitting, a team of 25 biologists from many different countries and institutions was assembled to conduct a rapid assessment of the region's flora and fauna. I was invited to join Angel Fernandez and Reina Gonto of the Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Research and Anabel Rial of CI-Venezuela to conduct the botanical portion of the inventory. Other disciplines represented on the expedition were herpetology, ornithology, mammalogy, entomology, limnology, geology, ichthyology, and the study of aquatic invertebrates (for which I can't come up with an "ology" name for). The support team included cooks, a paramedic, local guides, security personnel, and coordinator of logistics, and a film team captured our work for a future documentary.
It takes two days from Florida to reach the Sierra de Lema, in my case flying first from Sarasota to Caracas and then by a domestic carrier to Puerto Ordaz situated along the immense Orinoco River . Another day of travel by car took us to the infamous Kilometer 88 gold mining region, which is the last place to purchase supplies before venturing into the heart of the Lost World. Near Km 88, we stayed one more night at the "Brisas del Cuyuní" gold mining camp operated by Gold Reserve, Inc., the company proposing the large open pit mine. Obtaining a permit from the Venezuelan Government to conduct such a large scale project is not a simple matter. Many years of planning, enacting social and medical improvements in the community, and conducting environmental studies are required. To further compliance in the environmental arena of their operations, Brisas del Cuyuní entered into an agreement with Conservation International in 2006 to collaborate on environmental issues, including our recent inventory.
Our main target area was in, and around the junction of the Uey and Cuyuní rivers, the area that will be strongly affected by the proposed pit mine and which is being currently degraded by numerous illegal miners. The Cuyuní is the main river system of this region it in turn flows from eastern Venezuela into the Essequibo River of Guyana. There are no roads in the area, so our transportation was by river using four large dug-out style canoes, and in part by air, via helicopter, to establish a forward camp in the foothills of the Sierra de Lema. An advance team had set up the most luxurious base camp that I have experienced, along the Uey, including a generator for providing light at night and charging laptop computers, large work tables, and an ample roof under which to pitch hammocks. The camp was situated on a high bank, which in this area is critical in avoiding the effects of the wildly fluctuating river levels. With approximately 23 feet of rainfall per year (compared with about 4 feet per year in Florida), the Cuyuní basin is one of the wettest in South America, with the river fluctuating up to 10 feet in a day. Even though we were there in the "dry season," it rained on average three times a day. The wet season must be a truly aquatic experience.
Arriving at the muddy, makeshift port to begin our journey, we were surprised to find dozens of boats loading and unloading provisions. We learned that normally only one or two boats would be at the port on any single day, but gold-fever was raging in the area, fueled by a new find high up the Cuyuní and by rapidly rising international gold prices. Little seems to be done by the government to curb these illegal operations in what is a virtually lawless area of the country. After arriving at base camp an hour upstream from the port and claiming our sleeping berths, we began work. Boats would depart and arrive at all times of day, well before dawn for the birders and late at night for the mammalogists. The ichthyologists impressed me with their willingness to jump into the murkiest of waters to ply their nets, and would come up with a wide array of fishes (some upon which we would later dine), and would occasionally even net a stingray or an electric eel. The limnologists carefully sampled fish tissues to later be analyzed for mercury contamination, a byproduct of the illegal miners. The kitchen was always open, and the food good and filling. Our paramedic, Sol, earned her keep tending to the numerous minor scrapes and cuts, and she also doctored one of our guides through a sting from a Tityus scorpion, known to be highly venomous. His evacuation by river in the middle of the night was a sobering experience, and the treatment that he received, including an unusual injection of scorpion anti-venom may have saved his life. Only one other evacuation was required, this one by helicopter, when another scientist slipped on some rocks at a secondary camp and dislocated his shoulder.
We established two additional light camps, one at the furthest navigable point on the upper Uey, an hour upstream from Base Camp, and another in a narrow canyon several thousand feet higher in the Sierra de Lema, and only reached by helicopter. It was at the upper Uey camp that I got up close and personal with the quickly changing river levels. The rain was heavier during the several-day period that five of us camped on what seemed to be a sufficiently high bank along the river. Late one night we noticed that our boat, previously tied far down on the rocky shore was clanking about the shrubbery adjacent to our camp. Fortunately, it had not become trapped behind too many branches, so we quickly packed camp and headed downriver at midnight through heavy rain and swollen water, crashing through tree branches now at river level and with every headlamp turned on to help our captain guide his way downstream to base camp. If there was any time that we were going to tip over on the trip, I was sure this was it, but our skilled pilot brought us safely back to the Base Camp.
For 16 days we kept up a frantic work pace. Botanically speaking, we found the area very rich in plant life and collected over 800 samples. In an area like this there is always the chance of finding new species for science, but that often takes years of study to determine. One interesting find was the discovery of several species thought restricted to higher elevations of the table mountains, at up to one thousand feet lower than previously recorded. Distribution information such as this will become increasingly helpful in our knowledge of how plants might be able to adapt to the affects of climate change. We also noted that certain plants were completely absent from areas where mining has occurred, even many years in the past. This was true in particular for the saprophytes, those plants that obtain their nutrients from decaying organic matter rather than through photosynthesis, perhaps not too surprising given the level of soil disturbance from hydraulic mining.
With literally thousands of specimens in hand, it was finally time to break camp. We enjoyed a 6-hour celebratory bus ride back to Puerto Ordaz where we reluctantly parted company. For me, it was back to Caracas to work for six days preparing my specimens and identifying plants in the national herbarium. Our results will be tallied and published later this year, along with our conservation recommendations to the government. It is feasible that the upper Uey river can be added to the adjacent Canaima National Park , or at least to provide a sizeable buffer between the mining area and the park. While in Caracas, I learned that we had received a grant from the Wonken Foundation of Venezuela to support the next two years of work in the Sierra de Lema, including funds for more helicopter time into areas never before visited by biologists. We are, without a doubt, looking forward to that!

Derby spoils can soothe a bad week
It is now the most intensely awaited derby game in British football. Success and money have made that so. Manchester's two football teams are the best in England though the nation is licking its wounds and contemplating its navel after a week of Champions League reverses.
Both United and City suffered 1-0 defeats in midweek that have been treated with a typically Mancunian shrugging of the shoulders. United may have been already through but being beaten by CFR Cluj is still something of an embarrassment.
City's performance at Borussia Dortmund was even more shameful. It certainly belied Roberto Mancini's stated pre-match aim of playing in the Europa League. The second 45 minutes were lax, aimless and led some commentators to accuse them of throwing the game. They may not now face the inconvenience of the Thursday-Sunday routine that the lesser European competition brings but have made it difficult for themselves in the murky world of UEFA co-efficients. It may be true to say they were handed the toughest group from the group-stage draw, but the lack of a single win is still a hugely damning statistic.
England's champions must now set their sights on reclaiming their domestic title. Indeed, their manager's employment prospects will rest on that if indeed that should prove enough to ward off his paymasters' trigger fingers. The Abu Dhabi contingent clearly think on a far more long-term basis than Roman Abramovich but have the same Catalan coach in mind as the Russian.
To ward off Pep Guardiola, Mancini could do with restaging the two victories that secured his place in City fans' hearts. If the 6-1 win at Old Trafford last season was a freakish result, their 1-0 win at Eastlands was perhaps even more comprehensive. City's victory, and henceforth primacy in the Premier League, was won by an iron control that strangled United into an impotence that had them fighting over second-ball scraps as time ticked towards the inevitability of a City victory.
It was the type of performance that can induce an inferiority complex in a rival. City, so long United's mocked rivals, have more money, the title and a strength in midfield that those who follow 'Big Red' can do nothing but envy. Yet the champions do not look the team they were last season. There is an air of ennui about the club and its players. The 'project' was completed; what now for City? More of the same will have to do. Perhaps repeated Euro failure has been more of a blow than is admitted, and then there is the idea that success can make a team complacent.
Complacency is a state of being that Ferguson has fought through his entire managerial career. The avenging win is another key tenet of his success. He has been given the once over a few times by his rivals but does not often let them get the better of him the next time. Arsenal, three times, in 1998, 2002, and 2004, had the better of United, only for them to be hit back. In 1999, United won a Treble, with league and cup at Arsenal's expense. In 2003, a winning run cracked Arsenal's title-chasing resolve. And in 2004, United denied Arsene Wenger a 50-game unbeaten run.
The same happened to Chelsea in the winter of 2005 too, via a Darren Fletcher goal, and United could now do with ending City's unbeaten league run. Though they are three points clear, United have lost three more games than City when six is largely agreed to be the most a title-winning team can afford.
Despite their so-far unblemished record, City have often looked just as ropey as United usually have this year. The questions raised about the quality of this season's Premier League are borne out by its top two teams.
They may be the best, but that does not look quite so high an accolade as in those three years from 2007-9 that England provided 3 from 4 Champions League semi-finalists. For the moment, civic pride and the destiny of the Premier League title will have to suffice as the spoils.
Manchester City player to watch - Sergio Aguero
He is the man who broke hopeful United hearts in the 13 seconds that followed their win at Sunderland on May 13. He is also the only striker that can call himself first-choice in Mancini's revolving door of forwards, though his form has not been as incandescent as it was a year ago. Aguero has shown his ability to score goals on the biggest occasions and United will fear that.
Manchester United player to watch - David De Gea
Alex Stepney, United's goalkeeper in their 1968 European Cup team, has called for De Gea to play in this fixture and it is difficult to argue with his logic. For all De Gea's problems with the crossed ball, he would still struggle to put in as weak a performance under set-pieces as Anders Lindegaard did at Reading. If De Gea does not start the derby then the question of his United future might begin to be raised.
Key battle: Vincent Kompany v Robin van Persie
Last season's leading men will be at the core. They were the two best players of the 2011-12 Premier League season. The favouring of attacking players in end-of-season award schemes meant that the Dutchman won both Player of the Year awards. On reflection, that looks an unfair oversight. Van Persie's goals took Arsenal into the Champions League but Kompany's leadership and masterful defending were the bedrock of City's title. The Belgian also scored the goal that beat United in the second derby meeting of the season.
Van Persie was the player that Mancini wanted most in the summer, give or take Daniele De Rossi, and he has continued his Arsenal form at United. Kompany has not been quite as good as last year, though City's defence has conceded the fewest goals of any team in the Premier League this season.
Stats: United are just three games short of equalling Bolton's Premier League record of no draws in their opening 18 games (set last season).
Trivia: The first City manager faced by Sir Alex Ferguson was Jimmy Frizzell, in a January 1987 FA Cup third round tie. United won 1-0 through a Norman Whiteside winner at Old Trafford. Frizzell was sacked at the end of the season as City were relegated to the Second Division.
Odds: City are a shade over odds-on at 2.20, and United are 3.20 to win at bet365. The draw is 3.50.
Prediction: United to claim their first draw and City to maintain their unbeaten record.

coal - 100 coal plants prevented
This Sierra Club milestone, 100 coal plants defeated, marks a significant shift in the way Americans are looking at our energy choices.
Cities, states, businesses and electric utilities are all moving away from the polluting coal power of the past. Where coal is no longer holding us back, clean energy technologies are leading the way to help repower, rebuild and refuel America. Watch the video to learn how we got here and why it's critical we move America beyond coal.
Are you working to move your community and the nation beyond coal? Add your story and read the stories from others in the movement.
John B. said...
For thirty years, I have fought the use and mining of coal in my region because that region became the largest concentration of coal plants in the world. As a result, a kid in Evansville, IN is five times more likely to be hospitalized with asthma than his counterpart in Ft. Wayne, IN which has similar demographics but no nearby coal plants. Coal has also devastated the regional economy and environment, leaving a legacy of waste and illness while stripping communities of their pride. Even though billions of dollars have been invested in this region in coal plants and mines, the area continues to be depressed economically just like every other coal community in the world. When you stake your future on coal, you get nothing but pollution and ill health in return. Evansville, Indiana
Fran C. said...
It is important to me because the mountain in WV where I played as a kid is now a slurry pit. We were poor, everyone was poor in the '40s in the Appalachians but we had our mountains. Now we don't even have a tree but we do have memories.
Leslie M. said...
It is important for America to move beyond coal and embrace clean energy for a brighter future. We need to preserve our mountains, heal our asthmatic children and restore our clean air by using wind and solar power. Hillsboro, Oregon
Joyce B. said...
Hundreds of thousands of prime flat farmland in Illinois will be devastated by longwall mining subsidence if we do not move beyond coal: it is already happening in the heartland of our nation's farm fields. Peoria, Illinois
Charles B. said...
I've driven through an appalachian coal town. I stopped overnight and could barely breathe the next few days. No one should have to live in a place like that.
Roger D. said...
My morning paper announced intentions of my power company to seek a rate increase. The revenue would be spent to build new coal and nuclear capacity and new powerlines to import "coal by wire". If I have to pay even a little more for my electricity, I want it to be for clean, green power. Fairfax, Virginia

Swimmer's ear, also called otitis externa, is an exquisitely painful infection of the ear canal that leads to the ear drum. According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, any activity that allows water to enter your ears can cause it. This includes showering, washing your hair, even using a sauna. In fact, just being in a warm, humid climate could do it.
The skin of the ear canal is normally protected by a thick coating of earwax. When water enters the ear, it may bring bacterial or fungal particles. If the water runs back out, the ear dries out and the bacteria and fungi don't cause any problems. But sometimes water remains trapped in the ear canal, washing away the earwax and allowing the skin to get soggy. Then the bacteria and fungi flourish and can infect the outer ear. The infection can be cured with ear drops.
See a doctor if any of these symptoms occur:
Your ears feel blocked or itchy.
The ear canal becomes red or swollen, perhaps even swelling shut.
A milky fluid drains from your ear.
The ear becomes painful and tender to touch, especially the cartilage in front of the ear canal.

New York's 12 Best Italian Restaurants
13 comments :
Great list of best Italian restaurants! I haven't been with some of those restaurants yet except Trattoria L'incontro and Scalini Fedeli. My two visit there, I must say it was really a great experience. I added some other places that I haven't been yet to my great list of restaurants. Great share!ReplyDelete
Useful list. I would Add Il Corso in midtown to this list.ReplyDelete
No Locande Verde or Peasant?ReplyDelete
Peperoncino in Brooklyn definately deserves a mention!ReplyDelete
Great Italian food need not be expensive, as indicated in several of the "best" restaurants listed. Any of the Italian restaurants on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx deserve the "best" accolade that Zagat wishes to celebrate. My wife and I drive in regularly from Connecticut to do some food shopping and to enjoy a wonderful meal and a bottle of Chianti, all without "breaking the bank" in order to do so. Our favorite place is Emelia's....the Papardella with wild boar is not to be missed!ReplyDelete
- Ludavico CordeThursday, February 7, 2013 at 10:32:00 AM EST
I agree. This list over emphasized the yuppy-ish, trendy, business suit, celebrity- sighting type places. I'm with you- There are still lesser known gems in the old Italian neighborhoods like Arthur Ave in the Bronx and parts of Queens and Brooklyn.Delete
It's not about the money, I'm quite wealthy and I can afford to eat wherever I care to. It's just I don't deal well with the pretentiousness of many five-star type restaurants, but perhaps more importantly, I think the Italian food in the less fancy, well known establishments, can hold it's own with the fancier, yuppy, business-class places.
Really a useful list of restaurants. Great Job!ReplyDelete
Actually its not possible to visit every restaurant and test their catering service so this post is most useful for everyone who are really want to know best restaurants in new York...superb info...I love this website.
Great list of restaurants! Marea is my all time favorite for a special occasion. There's so many great little off the radar gems in the east village too. My boyfriend is italian and our go to spots are Cacio e Vino and Cacio e Pepe. Both have wonderful authentic food and a home like feel that we both love.ReplyDelete
Da Umberto on the lower west side.ReplyDelete

The Mariners held a team meeting before Saturday's game so third base coach Jeff Datz could inform the team he has been diagnosed with cancer.
Datz will remain with the team as he assesses treatment options. In a statement released to the media, Datz said the cancer was "caught very early" and that he does not want his future absence to "be a distraction to the team."
Manager Eric Wedge had a direct opinion on the matter.
"Like I told him, 'You're going to beat it,' " Wedge said. "It's as simple as that. Then, he'll be back in good shape."
Wedge and Datz began working together in 1998, when each was managing in the minor leagues. Wedge was at Single-A Columbus of the South Atlantic League and Datz won the Triple-A International League title with Buffalo that season.
Eventually, they moved up in the Cleveland organization. When Wedge was hired as the Indians' manager in 2003, Datz was his first base coach.
Datz, 53, stayed with Wedge through his time in Cleveland – which ended in 2009 – as third base coach and bench coach. When Wedge was hired by Seattle in 2011, he rehired Datz to be third base coach, work with the catchers and run spring training.
Datz is from Camden, N.J., and was drafted by Houston in the 18th round of the 1982 draft. He spent seven seasons in the Astros' minor league system as a catcher and reached the majors with Detroit in 1989. He played seven games that season.
Wedge talked further about the situation at shortstop with Robert Andino and Brendan Ryan.
Earlier in the week, Wedge replaced Ryan with Andino.
"Regardless of what has been written, I didn't bench (Ryan)," Wedge said. "I said Andino is going to play more and we're going to take it day to day, week to week and month to month and see what happens.
"It gives Brendan a chance to work on his craft, and gives Robert a chance to get going out there. Hey, if Robert takes it and runs with it, so be it. Robert is going to play more right now. We'll get Brendan in there when we can and continue to let him work on his game."
Ryan played his second consecutive game Saturday. He was 1-for-2 with a walk and a safety squeeze that brought in a run Friday night.
"I believe in him," Wedge said. "I like him, I really do. I think he's a championship player. But, he has to go out there and perform better offensively and work his emotions in a better direction that helps him do that."
The emotional side of things has always been a challenge for the effervescent Ryan. In a game of failure, he continues to have trouble routing his emotions in a productive manner when he struggles at the plate.
Wedge was asked if Ryan, 31, can change at this point.
"I don't know," he said.
Outfielder Michael Saunders was the designated hitter Saturday night for the Rainiers and is slated to play in the field Sunday. Saunders is working his way back from a sprained right shoulder, suffered April 10 when he ran into the right-field wall at Safeco Field. The sprain put one of the Mariners' few hot hitters (was hitting .375 in five games prior to the injury) on the 15-day disabled list.
Friday night, Saunders was hit in the right shoulder by a pitch. Though Saunders is fine after the plunking, Wedge was left shaking his head at the circumstance.
"That pretty much sums up where we are right now," Wedge said with a laugh.
Former Mariners left-hander Jason Vargas will make his Safeco Field debut for the opposition when he takes the mound Sunday afternoon for the Angels. Vargas is off to a bumpy start for Los Angeles.
Vargas was traded to the Angels in December for DH Kendry Morales after spending four seasons in Seattle. Vargas pitched more than 200 innings twice and won 36 games in his four years.
The Mariners moved him during the offseason, trading a seeming surplus (starting pitching) for a large hole (offense). Vargas is 0-2 with a 5.82 ERA for the Angels. Morales is hitting .253 with three home runs and nine RBI coming into Saturday's game.
Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma (2-1, 1.99 ERA) takes on Vargas (0-2, 5.82). The 1:10 p.m. game will be broadcast on Root Sports and 710-AM.

He has spent much of his career fending off and counter-balancing the forces of Portland Metro. I don't see how anyone can perceive him as a tool of those forces.
Maybe one could view him as being allied with the west side of Oregon versus the east or the urban part of the state versus the rural, but most certainly not the Portland axis versus downstate interests.
I was serving on the editorial board of the Salem Statesman Journal when he made his initial city council run, so am well familiar with his career.
Steve Bagwell, managing editor
Having spent 10 years supervising state political coverage for the Statesman Journal, I can tell you unequivocally that resentment of the Portland metro bloc runs very high in Salem. Locals there do not see their interests coinciding with those of Portland at all, and they resent the power the Portland block wields, based on its population.
Besides, Courtney is as much a maverick as the Oregon Legislature has ever produced. He's his own man, through and through.
He got to be Senate president because he commands huge respect on both sides of the aisle. Take a vote of all 90 legislators on who they like and respect most in Salem and I have no doubt Peter Courtney would rank No. 1.
I think you are viewing him through much too narrow of a prism. He's about as far from being a party puppet as you can get.
Kotek, yes. Courtney, no way.
In 2009, Courtney was awarded a 100% voting record by none other than AFSCME (state, county, and municipal employees). He, along with 36 others, were given this award for voting just as the union wished them to vote -- 100% of the time. Would it be a surprise that all were demos?
Courtney has voted for income and corporate tax increases, which have fallen well short of the projections. He voted for transit and gas tax increases and for an increase in vehicle registration, as did most other demos.
So, if one considers his staunch support of public unions, his nearly predictable party-line votes, and his penchant for raising taxes and fees (as most demos), through my 'narrow prism' it appears 'party puppet' fits his description much better than any brand of 'maverick'. No?
Virtually everyone associated with the process is well aware of that. Ask Brian Boquist what he thinks.
We will just have to agree to disagree.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
The biggest factor is that Americans continue to support this transaction through purchases creating their own destiny of unemployment.
This is why I continue to preach consequence of actions.

Amr Abdul-Basset Abdul-Azeez Diab (Arabic: عمرو عبد الباسط عبد العزيز دياب; born 11 October 1961)[1] is an Egyptian singer and composer of pop music. He was awarded the World Music Award for Best Selling middle east Artist three times: 1998 for album "Nour El Ain", 2002 for album "Aktrr Wahed Byhbak 2001" and 2007 for album "El Lillady".

He is known as the Father of Mediterranean Music.[2][3][4] He has created his own style which is often termed "Mediterranean Music" or "Mediterranean Sound", a blend of Western and Egyptian rhythms.[5]
In The Mediterranean in Music, David Cooper and Kevin Dawe referred to his music as "the new breed of Mediterranean music".[6] According to author Michael Frishkopf, Amr Diab has produced a new concept of Mediterranean music, especially in his international hit, "Nour El Ain".[5]
In his analysis of The Very Best of Amr Diab album, Victor W. Valdivia of Allmusic said: "His music melded traditional Arabic sounds and textures with Western rhythms and instruments. The mesh was dubbed Mediterranean music, and The Very Best of Amr Diab displays Diab's superb skill in creating it."[7]
In 1997, he won three awards at the Annual Arabic Festival: one for Best Video, for Best Song, and for Best Artist of the Year. The following year Diab received a Triple Platinum Award for the sales of Nour El Ain and received a World Music Award in Monaco.

Musical career[edit]
In 1983, Diab released his first studio album, Ya Tareeq. Diab released three more albums between 1984 and 1987. 1988's "Mayaal" garnered huge success all around the Middle East. It was produced, arranged and remixed by German musicians, Frank Von Dem Bottlenberg, Ziyad Abou Chair and Jörg Evers, with several releases. More success followed in the following years including the albums Shawakkna, Matkhafesh, and We Yloumouni.
Amr Diab quickly developed fame for his new style of "Pan-Mediterranean" Arabic music, fusing touches of flamenco and raï with western pop with traditional Arabic rhythms. B1992, he became the first Arabic artist to start making high-tech music videos.[5]
"Habibi" from Diab's 1996 album Nour El Ain became a hit worldwide and was remixed by many of the world's top DJs at the time.[citation needed] A special CD named Habibi: The Remix Album was released later with all of these remixes. Since then, Diab has remained at the top of the Arabic music scene, expanding reach to all parts of the Mediterranean with his 1999 release, Amarain, that featured duets with The Legendary King of Rai Khaled in a song called "Qalbi" and Greece's Angela Dimitriou in "Ana Bahibak Aktar" and "Eleos". "Tamally Maak" from Diab's 2000 album became a huge success. Leily Nahari, Diab's first album with Rotana Records, was released in 2004. His album El Leila De was released in the summer of 2007 and topped the Arabic music charts for 22 weeks. Diab received a World Music Award for Best Selling Middle Eastern Artist for the album. In 2008, Diab renewed his contract with Rotana for five more years.[citation needed] In 2009, Diab released a new album Wayah.
Influences and contributions[edit]
Diab revolutionized Egyptian show business in several respects,[citation needed] and some of his biographers have referred to him as rebellious, because he challenged everything in Middle Eastern show business, from hairstyle and appearance to music style, presentation, and the financial scale of his projects.
Diab's blending of Western rhythms with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern music styles created a new music style, referred to as Mediterranean music. His song "Tamalli Ma'ak"/"Always With You," where he introduced classical guitar, is a good example of the genre.
Nour El Ain[edit]
In 1996, Nour El Ain (Light of The Eye – Sight) was released, becoming a tremendous success not only in the Middle East but throughout the entire world. The song was composed by Nasser el-Mizdawi, lyrics were written by Ahmed Sheta and it was arranged by Hameed Elshaery. The title track, and its English version "Habibi", was an international phenomenon, becoming a massive crossover hit in countries such as Pakistan, India (performed by Nachiketa in Bengali keeping the tune and composition and replacing the lyrics with his own), Afghanistan, Sri Lanka (performed by Sangeeth Wickremasinghe) and Malaysia (Malay version sung by Datuk Sharifah Aini). The song was remade with Malayalam lyrics the movie Chandralekha. In a style reminiscent of the Aldo (musician) Franco-Arabic style, the song was remixed by several top European arrangers and has become a big pull on the dance floors of Europe. The video clip, also produced by Alam El Phan for the song "Nour El Ain", was one of the most lavish and expensive productions in the field of Egyptian song and set a new standard for his contemporaries to aspire to. This album sold 2.3 million copies.
In 1997, Amr Diab won three awards at the Annual Arabic Festival (for Best Video, Best Song and Artist of the Year). In the following year, he received a Triple Platinum Award for the sales of Nour El Ain and received a World Music Award in Monaco on 6 May 1998, under the patronage of H.S.H. Albert II, Prince of Monaco. This award was the first of its kind for an Egyptian artist, emphasizing that his appeal is not confined to the Middle East, unlike the majority of his contemporaries.
His follow-up studio album titled Awedony (They made me used to...) was released in July 1998 and, as with Nour El Ain, it was produced with Hamid El Shaery and recorded in Cairo, Egypt. The first video from the album, the title track "Awedooni", was shot by the Nile in Egypt and directed by Tareq Al Aryan. Like its predecessor, this album was a huge success for Amr and reinforced his popularity in the Arab world and abroad.
Diab released his July 1999 new studio album Amarain (two moons), which is hailed as the best work of his career.[citation needed] Amr is working on eagerly anticipated duets with the France-based international Rai superstar, Khaled of "Didi" fame, and with the Greek singer, Angela Dimitrou, whose crossover smash "Marguerites" was a huge hit across the Middle East in 1998. The title track "Amarain" was the first video to be broadcast.
Tamally Ma'ak[edit]
In July 2000, Diab revolutionized Arab music when he issued Tamally Ma'ak (I'm Always With You). The song was composed by Sherif Tag, a modern Egyptian composer. He introduced the Spanish guitar in "Tamally Ma'ak" and in other songs. The clip of this song was made in the Czech Republic with much success. The album contained songs like "El Allem Alla" (Only God Knows), "Ba'terf" (I Confess) which were composed by Amr Mostafa, the best Middle Eastern composer, "Sa'ban Alaea" (It Makes Me Feel Sorry) and "We Heya Amla Eih" (And How Is She?). The song "Tamally Ma'ak" was copied in the hit Bollywood song "Kaho Na Kaho" from the film Murder and also "I'm Calling U" by the group Outlandish.
Aktar Wahed[edit]
Aktar Wahed was released on 1 August 2001. The album's name Aktar Wahed is short for one of the songs, "Aktar Wahed Beyhebbak" (One loves you the most). It contains 10 tracks and received the World Music Award for the best-selling album in the Middle East for 2001.
Allem Albi[edit]
In February 2003, Diab released Allem Alby (Teach My Heart). The album's release date was arranged to be with the debut broadcast of Alam El Phan's (Allem Alby's production company, owned by Mohsen Gaber) music channel Mazzika.
The album was a great success, with the release of the video "Ana Ayesh" (I'm Alive) which was directed by Stuart Gosling. The video was intensely broadcast on Mazzika. The album contains other songs, like the R&B-influenced hit, "Allem Albi". Others that tend to be more distinctively Arabic-sounding are songs like "Kolohom" (All of Them), "Law Ash'any" (If You Adore Me), and "Alli El Wadaa'" (Goodbye To Me).
Leily Nahary[edit]
In late summer 2004, Diab's first album with Rotana was released: Leily Nahary (My Nights, My Days). The album's cover was from the promotional photo shoot of Pepsi. The video "Leily Nahari" directed by Cameron Casey provided aid to give Diab his space in the record-exclusive music channels. It was criticized because of its similarity to his previously unreleased video for "El Alem Allah" from the album Tamally Ma'ak.
Kammel Kalamak[edit]
Diab's album Kammel Kalamak, released on 14 December 2005, was the follow-up to Leily Nahary. The love ballad "We Malo" was released as the single of the album, Kammel Kalamak. The music video was shot in London and was released on a late notice after the release of the album. Rumors surfaced in late 2005 and early 2006 stated that Amr is considering terminating his contract with Rotana due to the poor promotion of Kammel Kalamak.
El Lilady[edit]
The album El Lilady (or El Leila De) was originally set to be released after Ramadan 2006. However, it was pushed back several times due to Diab's repeated changes in the musical producers he was dealing with. Diab attributes the changes to the producer's lack of new and strong styles. In early 2006, music arranger Fahd was supposed to work on this album; however, later that year Tarek Madkour joined Amr Diab, and they started together to work on it. On 25 March 2007, Madkour's official website announced that Amr Diab and Madkour had decided jointly to skip the collaboration on the album due to the lack of time and conflicting working schedules. Fahd and new producer Hasan Al Shafei are elected to produce the music in the album, which was supposed to hit the markets in July 2007. The title of the album was changed from Khaleek Ma'aya to El Leila De. After the release Amr, shot a new Pepsi advertisement in Europe. On 21 June 2007, two of the biggest sites (AmrDiabWorld.com and AmrDiab.info) for Amr Diab announced that El Lilady would hit the market on 7 July 2007. The album would contain 10 tracks; Al Shafei and Fahd shared the production: Al Shafei with seven songs and Fahd with three. Before releasing his album, Diab traveled to Portugal to shoot the new Pepsi ad, choosing "Inta El Ghaly" song from El Leila De as the ad. Amr then traveled to the USA to film the music video for his upcoming album.
The album master copy was given to Rotana, Amr Diab's CD production company, on the last week of June to meet the 7 July 2007 release date he had planned. Rotana, however, delayed the release of the new CD for a couple of days for unknown reasons. The album had been leaked. The album was officially released on 11 July 2007. The album has already become a huge hit in Egypt and all over the Middle East. The video clip has been slated for a 27 July release. The song that Diab chose to film was "N'eoul Eih", which is in the new style of House Music mixed with oriental Arabic music. The video clip was filmed in Santa Monica and Malibu, and also near Hollywood.
On 30 October 2007, the management of the World Music Awards announced that Amr Diab was to receive an award for best selling artist in the Middle East for this album. Amr Diab received the award in the festival that was held in Monaco, Monte Carlo, on 4 November 2007.
Wayah (2009)[edit]
The world music award of for the best-selling album in the Middle East 2009, Wayah (With Her) was released for sale on the internet on 27 June; however, the album was leaked online and was downloaded illegally amid complaints of slow download speed on the official site. Diab's fans initiated a massive boycott of the sites with the illegal copies.[8]
On 18 October 2009 Amr Diab won four 2009 African Music Awards in the following categories: best artist, best album, best vocalist and best song for "Wayah"; Amr Diab has been nominated by the Big Apple Music Awards.[9]
Aslaha Betefre' (2010)[edit]
Amr Diab released a mini-album for the first time in his career history, produced by Rotana, in July 2010. The mini album contains one song with the arrangements (original song, club mix, and karaoke).
Banadeek Ta'ala (2011)[edit]
In May 2011, it was announced that Amr Diab's new album (at the time titled Heya Hayati) was slated for an Eid Al Fitr release. Due to the unstable political situation in Egypt, the album was pushed back and delayed until further notice. In late August 2011, Amr Diab's official website announced the new album's final title, Banadeek Ta'ala, and Rotana slated the album for a 28 September release. The album contains 12 songs that include "Banadeek Ta'ala," "Heya Hayaty," "Aloomak Leh," "Aref Habibi," "Maly Enaya," "Yaret Sennek," and "Tagreba Wa Addet." The album was arranged by Adel Hakki and was produced by Rotana .
El Leila (2013)[edit]
In August 2013, it was made public that the new album Al Leila was being released. The new album was set to release by early August. Unfortunately, there were too many issues going on in Egypt at the time. This made the release date of the album pushed further a few weeks. By late August, the album was officially released. The album contains 12 songs that include "Al Leila," "Garaly Eeh," "Andy Suwal," "Wahy Zekrayat," "Khalina Lewahdina," "Mafeesh Menak," "Sebt Faragh Kibeer," "Ya Albaha," "Habeet Ya Alby," "Lafetha Belad," "Fouq Men Elenta Feh," and "Adit El Ayam." The album was produced by Rotana The album has a huge success in all over the middle east topping the Virgin Mega Stores charts for several weeks, and received 13 platinum certificates in Egypt. The album was doing well at Arabic region, the album topped the iTunes charts at Egypt.
Due to the massive success of El Leila, it received several nominations at the World Music Awards for the year 2013 as: album of the year, video of the year, entertainer of the year, best middle eastern musician of the year.

Music videos[edit]
Diab is one of the first singers to popularise music videos in the Arab world and the first Egyptian singer to appear in music videos.[5] With the exception of his very early releases, his albums have had at least one song shot as a music video. Diab has collaborated with a variety of music video directors in the Middle East, including Tarek El-Erian and Sherif Sabri.
The most anticipated video clip of 2007, "N'eoul Eih", was released on 14 August that year on Rotana TV. It was broadcast minutes later on Egyptian television on El Beit Betak. The video was a great success.
6 August 2009 witnessed the release of Amr Diab's latest video clip for his smash hit "Wayah". Working alongside Cameron Casey and [Leily Nahari] for a second time, Amr Diab presented a fresh video clip which was filmed mostly on Green Screen and in Diab's personal villa in Cairo, Egypt. The biggest surprise was the appearance of Diab's children alongside his niece, who represented the younger generation of children who are inspired by the music of Amr Diab.
Diab also filmed "Ba2dem Alby" which was released on Valentine's Day.
El Helm/The Dream[edit]
The Dream or El Helm is a biographical TV production produced by Amr Afefy that gives viewers the story of Amr Diab's life. The show consists of 12 episodes and began airing on 24 December 2008. El Helm is narrated by actor Ezzat Abou Ouf and includes interviews with Diab and people he worked with throughout the span of his career. The show, which aired on Rotana TV, saw great success and was preceded by one of the biggest advertising campaigns in the history of Middle Eastern music.
Film career[edit]
Diab's fame in the music industry has led him to experiment with other forms of media, such as film. Amr played himself in his first film, El Afareet, which was released in 1989. It also starred Madiha Kamel. His second film Ice Cream in Gleam (Ays Krim fi Glym), in which Diab starred in 1992, was chosen as one of the best five Egyptian musical films by the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. The film was featured in the UCLA Film and Television Archive's new program "Music on the Nile: Fifty Years of Egyptian Musical Films" at James Bridges Theater, UCLA, 6, 8 and 10 April. David Chute of the Los Angeles Weekly termed it "observant" and "a big leap".[10] His third movie was released in 1993, and was named Deahk We La'ab (Laughter and Fun). The film premiered in the Egyptian Film Festival in 1993. Amr played alongside international Egyptian movie star Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago) and Yousra. Overall, Diab did not experience the same level of success in film that he had with his music career. Since 1993, Diab has focused on his singing career.
Egyptian Revolution[edit]
During the 2011 uprising, some protesters criticized Diab for staying silent, and for fleeing Egypt for London.[11] However, a few days after former President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, Amr Diab composed and sang a memorial song, "Masr A'let" (Egypt Said Its Word),[12] and released it in conjunction with a music video showing pictures of the martyrs who died in the uprising. He also initiated a charity campaign "Masry Begad" ("Real Egyptian"), a social national program aimed at serving and rebuilding Egyptian society. His online radio station Diab FM often presents talks and discussions about what Diab FM team can offer to the community as well as applying it practically by being present in different sites across Egypt with a new humanitarian project each week.[13]
Amr Diab has taken part in an internationally known Pepsi commercial featuring four other pop musicians: Beyoncé Knowles, Pink, Jennifer Lopez, and Britney Spears. In the US version, Enrique Iglesias takes the role of Caesar. But in the pan Arab version, the three American singers were retained but the male figure was replaced with Diab. This was not the first Pepsi commercial Diab has done; he also filmed commercials featuring his songs "Ana Aktar Wahed" (I'm the most), "Allem Alby" (teach my heart) and "Khad Alby Ma'aa" (She took my heart with her). Diab also appeared in a commercial alongside Jennifer Lopez, singing The Troggs hit "Wild Thing". In 2009 Pepsi decided not to renew his contract. In 2010 he was the star of "Hayat" bottled water campaign.
Local record labels[edit]
Diab's earliest albums were released by Delta Sound. In 1996 Diab moved to Alam Al Phan where he released his greatest hits. In between 2003 and 2004, and after a long successful career with Alam El Phan, Diab officially announced the termination of his contract with Mohsen Gaber (owner of Alam El Phan) and move to the company that owned by Prince El Waleed Ebn Talal, Rotana Records and the owner of part of media huge muscel [Fox].he has sold 7 million albums worldwide only and the best album for him sold 2.6 million copies only .
