The Nikon D7100 follows on from the popular D7000 and features a number of developments and improvements. Find out how it fares in our full review.
Nikon D7100 Review
Three years ago Nikon announced the Nikon D7000 DSLR, a camera many probably weren't expecting. With the Nikon D90, Nikon D300 and Nikon D300S models already available, it didn't appear as through there would be much demand for a further line of models between the two. Nevertheless, the camera gained much popularity thanks to its high features-to-form ratio, and provided a logical stepping stone for accomplished entry-level DSLR owners looking to take their photography more seriously. And now, Nikon has gathered together some of the features seen in its most recent DSLRs and blended them with a handful of new ones to create the Nikon D7100 successor.
With revisions made to the sensor, LCD, AF module and video functionality among other things, the camera certainly appears as a more serious upgrade than some other recent models. But is every change welcome, or are some causes for concern?
Nikon D7100 review – Features
As with the current Nikon D5200 the new camera sports a DX-format sensor with 24.1MP, although the two are not the same. With the Nikon D7100, Nikon has omitted the anti-aliasing filter for the benefit of detail retention. Usually this presents issues with false colour patterning and other effects of aliasing, although it's likely Nikon has modified its image processing to account for this. Interestingly this is similar approach to the Nikon D800E released last year, only that particular camera maintained a filter, albeit one with its anti-aliasing properties removed.
While the sensor applies a 1.5x crop factor to any mounted lenses (given that it is smaller than full frame), Nikon has included an additional option on the Nikon D7100 which applies a further 1.3x crop factor at a reduced resolution of approximately 15.4MP. So, a 50mm lens which would ordinarily behave like a 75mm lens would in this mode behave closer to a lens with a focal length of around 98mm – this appears to be particularly useful for telephotography work, wherever more reach is desired.
The sensitivity range offered by the sensor is precisely the same as on the Nikon D7000: a standard ISO 100-6400 range, complemented by extension settings equivalent to ISO 25,600. Considering the sensor's high resolution this is perfectly respectable. Nikon has equipped the model with the same Expeed 3 engine which features in its flagship D4, which handles all image processing tasks and also allows for burst shooting at 6fps, or alternatively 7fps when the 1.3x crop mode is activated.
As we may expect the Nikon D7100 also offers full HD video recording in addition to its stills capabilities, at up to 30fps in full HD (1920×1080) and up to 60fps in standard HD (1280×720). Stereo sound comes courtesy of a pair of microphones nestled in the top-plate, although external microphones can also be plugged into a dedicated socket on the side and mounted into the hot shoe. Furthermore, thanks to a headphone socket beneath this it's also possible to monitor sound during recording.
Significant updates
One of the most significant upgrades the Nikon D7100 has on its predecessor is the camera's AF module; while the Nikon D7000 offered a 39-point system including nine cross-type points, the Nikon D7100 boosts this to 51 points including 15 cross-type points. These cover a reasonably broad range of the frame, although when the camera is set to its 1.3x crop mode the array usefully saturates all but the very top and bottom.
Nikon has chosen the Nikon D7100 to debut a few new features, such as the Spot White Balance option which allows the white balance to be set by measuring a small area of the scene to use as a reference target (in the same way that a Spot metering function bases exposure on just a small part of the scene). The pentaprism viewfinder, meanwhile, which provides 100% coverage of the scene and 0.94x magnification, also now welcomes an OLED panel in place of the previous LCD, which displays details in the finder itself such as grid lines and the leveling function. Nikon claims this has been changed to improve visibility, with an additional amendment being the exposure information below this, from the standard green to an ashy white.
Another change comes with the camera's LCD screen. As with some of Nikon's other most recent DSLRs, the Nikon D7100's display itself is sandwiched with a layer of resin to the outer panel, leaving no air gap in between. The result, Nikon claims, is better visibility than before thanks to lower reflections. At 3.2in the display is also larger in size than the more standard 3in unit found on the Nikon D7000, and it makes use of white pixels for improved brightness and lower power consumption. With an extra white pixel for every red-green-blue triplet, its resolution is at approximately 1,229k dots.
Nikon D7100 review – Design
At first glance Nikon doesn't appear to have made too many modifications to the Nikon D7100 in comparison to the template set out by the Nikon D7000, although changes have been made. The rubber thumb rest now extends further downwards, and a new 'i' button joins the previous four on the left-hand side. The video record button has been relocated to the top plate, leaving the menu pad dial free to move upwards and adopt the focus point lock control around it, while the control for activating the camera's live view function is now a button encircled by a dial for changing between stills and video shooting.
The Nikon D7100's top plate has essentially been lifted from that of the Nikon D600, save for the inclusion of microphones just past the hot shoe. The mode dial, and release mode dial beneath it, both feature the Nikon D600's locking buttons which needs to be pressed for the dials to rotate. While this is a useful way to prevent any unintentional dial turning, at the same time this setup is slightly awkward; while the mode dial's locking button travels well, the dial itself is not tall enough to turn comfortably. The locking button for the release mode dial, meanwhile, is small and cramped by the dial, with this dial being even more difficult to turn than the other, partly due to its size but also by its being sandwiched between the mode dial and top plate.
The body of the Nikon D7100, however, exhibits a fine build quality. Unlike some other models whose outer casings are constructed from either magnesium alloy or polycarbonate, the Nikon D7100 blends both to create a hardy yet lightweight shell. While it may lack the solidity of the magnesium-alloy-bodied Nikon D800, considering the camera itself occupies something of a middle ground in the enthusiast category it's build seems fitting.
Thanks to the generously sized grip, ample thumb space and the Nikon D7100's reasonable weight, handling is excellent. The command dials on both the front and back are large and rubbered, which together with their ridged edges makes them easy to grip and turn, while buttons are – on the whole – large and comfortable to press. It really is difficult to find anything too much to fault, with the exception of the menu pad dial which some may consider to be a touch too small.
Nikon D7100 review – Performance
The Nikon D7100's LCD is one of the first things to make a positive impression, not because of its slightly larger-than-average dimensions but its clarity. The display appears almost flush with the tempered outer panel (which makes sense as the air gap has been removed), rather than slightly behind it as with many other DSLRs, and its viewing angle is excellent. It's also sufficiently bright at default settings and shows good contrast and detail, and all menu items are labeled clearly and logically filed away into various sub-menus.
The Nikon D7100's viewfinder is also bright and clear, with magnification at a perfect point where the scene can be seen in its entirety without the user needing to look around the finder itself. All exposure information underneath this can be seen at the same time, and the OLED display which overlays shooting information has sufficient contrast for its information to stand out against an average scene. It's also brightly lit when the camera has its focus activated or focus point changed, which is useful when working in low light.
Responsive in use
It's pleasing to see responsiveness being a key theme with the Nikon D7100's general operation. There is virtually no delay when turning on the Nikon D7100, and all menu items and exposure settings are changed without any lagging, something which can't be said for all such cameras. Once focus is acquired through a half depression of the shutter release button there appears to be very little travel between this point and image capture; this is excellent, although some may find this takes some getting used to.
One thing which does disappoint, however, is the Nikon D7100's slight slowdown as Raw images are being written to the memory card. The camera doesn't have any issues when capturing a single image, but should another one should be captured in quick succession it can take a fair few seconds for it to appear on the LCD screen.
Nikon claims the Nikon D7100 to have a 6fps Raw burst depth of just six frames (lossless compressed at 14 bits) and this is verified through testing with a UHS-1 SDHC card. Such a burst is typically cleared away to the card in just over six seconds, suggesting Nikon has sought to balance a reasonable depth with a fast burst time. Still, for some this depth may be limiting, although it can be increased to nine frames when to set to a lossy 12bit mode. A lower-resolution sensor, faster processor, or perhaps a more spacious buffer would increase performance here this, and make it more suitable for sports photography or any other situation where burst shooting would be typically employed. It should be noted that if only capturing JPEGs, or using the 1.3x crop mode, this depth can increase significantly, with a 7fps burst speed achievable using the latter mode.
Kit lens
The AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR which comes supplied with the Nikon D7100 provides a superb 27-157.5mm equivalent focal range when used on a DX-format body such as the Nikon D7100, and in many respects it's a commendable performer (its optical qualities are discussed in the Image Quality section). It focuses with very little sound and its Vibration Reduction system is quite clearly effective when capturing images at particularly slow shutter speeds.
Focusing with the lens is reasonable, although the optic lacks the urgency of some other kit lenses. Obviously, as a larger-than-average kit lens with more elements, such a comparison may not be seen as entirely fair – although a comparison with Nikon's other 18-55mm kit lens shows very little between them in terms of focusing speed, suggesting it may well simply be down to the Silent Wave Motor used in each. When the camera is set to the continuous AF-C function, however, the AF point darts around the scene with impressive dexterity. Naturally it's not faultless, and the presence of other brighter details does sometimes sway it away from the subject, but its general adherence is still commendable.
Image Quality
Nikon D7100 review – Image Quality
Nikon D7100 review full sample image gallery
Colour and white balance
As has been typical of many previous Nikon DSLRs, the Nikon D7100's tendency is to produce accurate, lifelike colours, with the Auto White Balance rarely making any errors of judgement. Only when the scene contains very little colour detail does the camera very occasionally produce a colder result than expected. While the accuracy of the AWB system is praiseworthy, some may prefer for some of the character of the natural light to remain in the scene (Nikon has also provided an Auto2 AWB option to help here, which is designed to retain some of the warmth from lighting sources). For those who may prefer their colours to lean slightly towards vibrancy than the default neutral results, this can easily be achieved through subtle adjustments to the Standard Picture Control option, or through the definition of a custom Picture Control.
There isn't a great deal to fault with exposures – indeed, the camera's intuition when dealing with atypical scenes is often impressive. The Active D-Lighting system is useful to keep on as it helps to fill in shadowy areas, although when set to the Auto setting it doesn't quite fill in with the strength of other, similar systems when a scene is likely to be underexposed due to its content (shooting branches of a tree against a brighter sky, for example). This is probably just as well as such strong adjustments can often accentuate any noise in the image. Bracketing and/or capturing Raw images is, therefore, advised in difficult situations.
One thing is clear: resolution is excellent. At the base sensitivity of ISO 100 the camera resolves around 28lpmm in technical testing, which is the same as the full-frame Sony Cyber-shot RX1. At the camera's highest sensitivity of ISO 25,600 (equivalent) the sensor still manages to resolve 24lpmm, which is excellent. Images captured in real-world conditions show excellent detail at lower sensitivities, when captured with a high-quality optic, or even a lesser quality lens at an optimum aperture. All of this is no doubt in part thanks to the lack of the anti-aliasing filter, but the flipside of this is that aliasing artefacts can occasionally be seen over some high-frequency details. It's certainly true that even cameras with anti-aliasing filters in place are susceptible to this too, but here it tends to appear somewhat more readily over detailed areas.
Image Noise
The main concern with the Nikon D7100 images is noise. Although the visibility of noise is affected by a number of factors – illumination, scene details and so on – a slightly gritty texture can be seen as low as ISO 400 in most scenes. Obviously this can be reduced with in-camera noise reduction or the manual processing of Raw files, although this can rob images of fine detail. Even though the camera's standard sensitivity range extends to ISO 6400, images captured at the Hi1 (ISO 12,800-equivalent) setting still show noise to only rise marginally overall. It's only at the uppermost Hi 2 (ISO 25,600-equivalent) setting that lab testing confirms a more noticeable shift for the worst.

The camera comes with the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR as standard, the same optic that has been supplied with the D90 and D7000 as the default kit option. In many respects it behaves as many other kit lenses, with softness at its widest apertures contrasted by much better definition across the frame once the lens has been stopped down a little. Pincushion distortion is slight at the telephoto end, and the small amount of barrel distortion that appears at the wideangle end disappears once the lens is zoomed as little.
Nikon D7100 review – Verdict
The Nikon D7100 is perhaps one of the most complete enthusiast DSLRs we've seen to date, with an abundance of functionality packed into a reasonably compact body. It's certainly a more significant improvement than certain other recently updated DSLRs, and having such a rounded feature set means it's likely to appeal to a broader range of users than the average DSLR.
The good news is that the Nikon D7100's sterling spec sheet is matched by a high standard of images. Thanks to the omission of the anti-aliasing filter images exhibit a certain crispness, particularly when used with a fine lens, and this is confirmed by lab testing which shows the camera continuing to resolve plenty of detail at higher sensitivities. The metering and Auto White Balance systems are difficult to fault too, meaning that images generally do well to resemble the scene as it appeared at the point of capture.
The fact that the Nikon D7100 attempts to do so many things well – in the sense that it delivers high-resolution images, has a reasonably fast burst rate etc. – is perhaps the reason it comes unstuck from times to time, though. A sensor so saturated in pixels equates to noise far earlier in the ISO range than expected, while the Raw burst depth of just six frames at the highest quality settings is no doubt a consequence of having to process such massive files.
It's also somewhat disappointing to find aliasing in areas of fine detail. Perhaps some changes have been made to image processing to mitigate its effects, but its appearance does highlight why these anti-aliasing filters are used.
Overall, if burst shooting or low-light photography is your thing the Nikon D7100 may not be ideal. Yet, with its impressive spec sheet, high build quality, excellent handing and many plusses with its images, some – in fact, many – will no doubt consider the Nikon D7100 to be exactly the enthusiast camera they've been waiting for.
If our Nikon D7100 review has made you decide that it's the right DSLR for you, but want to be sure it is the right option against its peers, we've taken a closer look at how it compares against its three closest rivals.
Canon EOS 7D
£1060 body only
With 24.1MP on its sensor next to the EOS 7D's 18MP, the Nikon D7100 is clearly the better choice for enlargements and extreme cropping.
ISO range
The EOS 7D matches the D7100's standard ISO 100-6400 range, although the D7100 has an ISO 25,600-equivalent extension, next to the EOS 7D's maximum extension setting of ISO 12,800.
Continuous shooting
This is perhaps the EOS 7D's main advantage over the D7100; its 8fps burst mode is faster than the 6fps offered by the D7100 at its full resolution setting.
The EOS 7D's 19-point AF system is impressive in that each point is of the cross-type variety. The Nikon D7100 only has 15 cross-type points, but 51 in total.
Pentax K-5 II/ K-5 IIS
£860 body only
Although both cameras lack an anti-aliasing filter, the 24.1MP sensor inside the D7100 manages to resolve more detail than the K-5 IIs's 16.2MP alternative.
ISO range
The K-5 IIs just has the edge here, starting at ISO 100 and ending at ISO 12,800, with extension settings to ISO 80 and ISO 51,200 equivalents.
Continuous shooting
The K-5 IIs offers a 7fps burst mode at full resolution, a full frame faster than the 6fps option on the Nikon D7100 (although the D7100 manages this in its 1.3x crop mode).
The D7100's 51-point AF system outguns the 11-point system on the K-5 IIs, with 15 of the D7100's points being cross type compared with only nine on the D7100.
Sony A77
£830 body only
The Sony A77's 24.3MP sensor offers slightly more pixels than the D7100's 24.1MP, although this difference isn't significant enough to present any real benefits.
ISO range
The A77's ISO 100-16,000 range is very slightly narrower than the ISO 100-25,600 (equivalent) range offered by the D7100, making it less suitable for low-light shots.
Continuous shooting
The A77 can shoot up to 12fps at its full resolution, while the D7100 can only manage a 6fps burst mode at full resolution (7fps in its 1.3x crop mode).
The D7100 walks over the A77, with its 51-point AF system eclipsing the A77's 19-point counterpart and saturating more of the frame.

Video Review
The Nikon D7100 looks to pick up where its predecessor – the
Nikon D7000 – left off. Nikon more than caters for the entry level
photographer, while it's spent the past few years adding more options
for the professional photographer. The Nikon D7100 looks to provide a
capable and logical stepping stone between the two camps with an
attractive featureset and price point.
The D7100 features a range
of revisions on its predecessor, including the LCD screen, AF module and
video functionality, amongst others. To find out how successful these
have or haven't been, check out our full video review below.
First Look
Nikon has announced its first DX-format DSLR in 2013 – the Nikon D7100. Following on from the popular D7000, this long rumoured model arrives two years down the line and features a number of developments and improvements to separate it apart from its predecessor.
At the heart of the Nikon D7100 lies an all-new 24.1MP DX-format CMOS sensor. This could easily be mistaken for being the same CMOS sensor as used within the Gold Award Winning Nikon D5200, however at the official launch, Nikon confirmed the sensor is entirely new and is not the same as used within the Nikon D7100's DX-format cousin.
At the heart of the Nikon D7100 lies an all-new 24.1MP DX-format CMOS sensor.
Interestingly, Nikon has opted against the idea of fitting the Nikon D7100 with an optical low-pass filter, much like they've done previously with the Nikon D800E. By foregoing the optical low pass filter (OLPF), Nikon say the Nikon D7100 can make better use of its megapixels for impressive high resolution, with the benefits outweighing the negatives.
With the 18-105mm AF-S DX NIKKOR f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR lens, the Nikon D7100 will cost £1299.
The DX-format CMOS sensor is designed to work in unison with Nikon's EXPEED 3 image processor – a combination that contributes to an ISO range of 100-6400, which is expandable to an ISO equivalent of 25,600 in the Hi2 setting.
A new 1.3x crop function also opens many new possibilities for photographers. It enables the camera to shoot at a maximum continuous speed of 7fps, which works out at 1fps faster than the Nikon D7000. When the crop mode isn't used, the Nikon D7100 can shoot full resolution images at 6fps, but when it is it also allows full HD movies to be recorded at 50i.
One feature the Nikon D7100 doesn't offer for moviemakers is audio monitoring, however, there is an inbuilt mic port for attaching an external microphone and there's 30p,25p and 24p frame rates to choose from. When the 1.3x crop function is used for shooting
stills, the resolution drops from 24.1MP to 15.1MP.

Another big improvement is the Nikon D7100's AF system. It uses Nikon's MultiCam 3500DX autofocus module, which offers 51 autofocus points, 15 of which are the cross-type in the central area of the frame. Nikon claim the AF detection is now faster, plus autofocus operation is possible under a combined aperture value of f/8, meaning more combinations of lenses and teleconverters can be used.
For metering the Nikon D7100 uses the tried and tested 2016-pixel metering sensor as seen before on other Nikon DSLRs such as the full-frame D600. The optical viewfinder offers 100% coverage and just below this lies a new 3.2inch screen, which boasts an impressive 1229k-dot resolution. Another new development at the rear of the camera is the inclusion of a new 'i' function button. Used as a means of gaining access to the most frequently used functions, it's located at the bottom left of the body, below the zoom out playback button.
Constructed so that it's rugged and lightweight, the Nikon D7100 features
magnesium alloy top and rear covers to give it a durable feel in the hand.
Weighing 675g, the camera is sealed to combat moisture and dust creeping in to
the internals and Nikon say the shutter has been rigorously tested for 150,000
shutter cycles under demanding conditions.
The Nikon D7100 features magnesium top and rear covers for added durability and strength.
At the side of the body there's a dual SD card slot. This allows users to save JPEGS files to one card and RAW files to the other. Alternatively, there's the option to record still images and movie clips to separate memory cards if you'd prefer.
The Nikon D7100 features a dual SD card slot design.
Although there's no built-in Wi-fi capability, the Nikon D7100 is compatible with Nikon's WU-1a mobile adapter – a small accessory that enables images to be transmitted to Apple or Android smart devices such as smart phones or tablets. This additional extra costs £49.
Battery wise, the Nikon D7100 uses the same battery as the Nikon D7000, however, a new battery grip has been produced for camera – the MB-D15. This costs £279 and is made from magnesium alloy to match the same build quality of the camera.
The new Nikon MB-D15 battery grip (£279) has been specially designed for the D7100.
At the same time as launching the Nikon D7100, Nikon also released the WR-1 wireless remote transceiver. The WR-1 features a dot matrix display and a score of advanced features that enable the user to take control of most of the shooting operations – from simple remote shutter release to complex, multi-camera set-ups as well as possibility to check and change camera settings when mounted on the Nikon D7100. Various shooting scenarios can be pre-programmed, including simultaneous shooting, interval timer photography as well as customised shutter release delay. The WR-1 is expected to cost £649.
The new WR-1 wireless remote transceiver features a range of operation up to 120 meters.
Available from the end of March, the Nikon D7100 will be made available (body only) from £1099. Alternatively, the Nikon D7100 will be made available as part of a kit with the 18-105mm AF-S DX NIKKOR f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR lens for £1299.

 In fulfilling its mandate to share the diversity of America with our host countries, the Peace Corps is making special efforts to see that all of America's richness is reflected in the Volunteer corps. More Americans of color are serving in today's Peace Corps than at any time in recent years. Differences in race, ethnic background, age, religion, and sexual orientation are expected and welcomed among our Volunteers. Part of the Peace Corps' mission is to help dispel any notion that Americans are all of one origin or race and to establish that each of us is as thoroughly American as the other despite our many differences.

 Our diversity helps us accomplish that goal. In other ways, however, it poses challenges. In the Kyrgyz Republic, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyles, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives or characteristics commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in the Kyrgyz Republic.

 Outside of Bishkek, residents of rural communities have had relatively little direct exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What is viewed as typical American behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief in some countries that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. Members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.

 To ease the transition and adapt to life in the Kyrgyz Republic, you may need to make some temporary, yet fundamental compromises in how you present yourself as an American and as an individual. For example, female trainees and Volunteers may not be able to exercise the independence available to them in the United States; political discussions will need to be handled with great care; and some of your personal beliefs may best remain undisclosed. You will need to develop techniques and personal strategies for coping with these and other limitations. The Peace Corps staff will be available to provide support, but the challenge ultimately will be your own.

 ===Overview of Diversity in the Kyrgyz Republic ===

 The Peace Corps staff in the Kyrgyz Republic recognizes adjustment issues that come with diversity and will endeavor to provide support and guidance. During pre-service training, several sessions will be held to discuss diversity and coping mechanisms. We look forward to having male and female Volunteers from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, religions, ethnic groups, and ages and hope you will become part of a diverse group of Americans who support one another and take pride in demonstrating the richness of American culture.

 ===What Might a Volunteer Face? ===

 ====Possible Issues for Female Volunteers====

 Many female Volunteers find it difficult to adjust to the relatively conservative attitudes toward women in the Kyrgyz Republic. In many parts of the country, it is important to wear long skirts, cover one's head, and not be seen smoking in public. The rules of dating and talking with men are throwbacks to the early 1900s in the United States, and what American women tend to think of as harassment may be an everyday occurrence in many places. Female Volunteers are constantly asked if they are married and, if they are over 22 and single, why they are not married when they are so "old." Be prepared to be constantly reminded of your gender.

 ====Possible Issues for Volunteers of Color ====

 Volunteers of color face additional challenges inside and outside of the Peace Corps community. Within the Volunteer community, you may be the only minority trainee or Volunteer in a particular project. You may not receive, or be able to receive, the necessary personal support from other Volunteers, and you may not find minority role models among the Peace Corps country staff.

 Once you move to your site, you may work and live with individuals who have no experience with or understanding of non-Caucasian American culture. Because of ignorance, stereotyped cultural perceptions, or the country's current or historical involvement with other countries, you may encounter varying degrees of harassment in your day-to-day life. Hispanic and Asian-American Volunteers, for example, may be identified more by their cultural heritage than by their American citizenship. Consider the possibility of using an ethnic-nationality indicator such as Costa Rican-American, Venezuelan-American, Chinese-American, Korean-American as a strategy for conveying your dual ethnic heritage and American citizenry. For the most part, the question of "Where are you from?" really is an attempt to understand where your "family's family" is from given your physical features. Further, you may not be perceived as being American, or you may be evaluated as less professionally competent than a white Volunteer. In any community in which you are not known, you may be treated suspiciously. Finally, you should be prepared to hear racial terms that would be completely inappropriate in the United States today. The word for a black or dark-skinned person in Russian is "negger" and while it is unlikely that a Kyrgyz is using the word as a slur, you will encounter this word used from in some areas. As a method of increasing local cultural competence, treat these encounters as teachable moments by making individuals aware of the more appropriate term African Amerikanskaya (this is the best term to refer to a Black person given the language limitations in both Kyrgyz and Russian).

 ====Possible Issues for Senior Volunteers ====

 Respect comes with age in the Kyrgyz Republic. Younger Volunteers may have to work harder than their older colleagues to be accepted as professionals. On the other hand, older Volunteers may face challenges solely due to age. Most of the individuals in the Peace Corps community with whom you will work and live with are in their 20s and may have little understanding of, or respect for, the lives and experiences of senior Americans. In addition, the Peace Corps staff may not be able to give you as much personal support as you need, and you may be reluctant to share your personal, sexual, or health concerns with the staff. You may also find that younger Volunteers look to you for advice and support. While some seniors find this a very enjoyable part of their Volunteer experience, others choose not to fill this role. Training may present its own special challenges. Older trainees may encounter a lack of attention to their specific needs for an effective learning environment and may need to be assertive in developing an individual approach to language learning. Finally, dealing with family emergencies, maintaining lifelong relationships, and handling financial matters from afar may be more problematic for older Volunteers than younger ones.

 ====Possible Issues for Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Volunteers ====

 Although the Kyrgyz Republic decriminalized homosexual acts between adult men by presidential decree in 1998, homosexuality is still sometimes considered immoral by local norms. Homosexuals certainly exist in the Kyrgyz Republic, but not with the same level of acceptance Volunteers may have experienced in the United States. Civil liberties may be ignored, and homosexuals may be hassled in bars or in the street. The Kyrgyz people's view of homosexuality among nationals may be different from their view of homosexuality among foreigners. Certain hairstyles, clothing, and mannerisms, including earrings on men, which are considered acceptable in the United States, may be viewed with suspicion or derision in the Kyrgyz Republic. AIDS (SPID in Russian) is a critical public health issue in many countries, and gay American men have been blamed for bringing the disease to Central Asia.

 Gay and bisexual Volunteers may serve for two years without meeting another gay or bisexual Volunteer. Fellow Volunteers may not be able to give the necessary support. Many Kyrgyz homosexuals have probably migrated to the larger cities, while most Volunteers are posted in rural sites. Although relationships with host country nationals can happen, as with all cross-cultural relationships, they are not likely to be easy. Lesbians, like all women, have to deal with constant questions about boyfriends, marriage, and sex. Wearing an engagement ring may help.

 For more information about this issue, you can contact a group of lesbian, gay and bisexual returned Volunteers at www.lgbrpcv.org.

 ====Possible Issues for Married Volunteers ====

 Before committing to Peace Corps service, couples should consider how different degrees of enthusiasm about Peace Corps service, adaptation to the physical and cultural environment, and homesickness will affect their lives. Couples may have to deal with changed marital roles resulting from societal expectations in the Kyrgyz Republic. A husband may be encouraged to be the dominant member of the relationship, while a wife may find herself in a less independent role than she is accustomed to, which can create tension for a couple at work and at home. For example, a wife may be expected to perform traditional domestic chores instead of working, while a husband may be ridiculed for performing domestic tasks or for refusing to have extramarital affairs. Finally, a couple may need to cope with issues of competition if one spouse learns the language faster than the other or has a more satisfying job.

 ====Possible Religious Issues for Volunteers ====

 Although the Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, and Tajiks in the country are predominantly Muslim, the "Russification" of indigenous ethnic groups and cultures has been significant. While there has been a resurgence of Islam in some regions of Central Asia, religion does not seem to play a dominant role in the political or economic life of the Kyrgyz Republic except in the southern region of the country. Volunteers are frequently asked about their religious affiliation and may be invited to attend a community mosque. Those not in the practice of attending religious services may be challenged to explain their reluctance, but it is possible to politely decline if the religious services are not of one's own faith. Most Volunteers have found effective ways to cope with these issues and have come to feel quite at home in the Kyrgyz Republic.

 ====Possible Issues for Volunteers with Disabilities ====

 As a disabled Volunteer in the Kyrgyz Republic, you may find that you face a special set of challenges. In the Kyrgyz Republic, as in other parts of the world, some people may hold prejudicial attitudes about individuals with disabilities and may discriminate against them. In addition, there is very little infrastructure in the country to accommodate individuals with disabilities compared with what has been developed in the United States.

 As part of the medical clearance process, the Peace Corps Office of Medical Services determined that you were physically and emotionally capable, with or without reasonable accommodations, of performing a full tour of Volunteer service in the Kyrgyz Republic without unreasonable risk of harm. Peace Corps/Kyrgyz Republic staff will work with disabled Volunteers to make reasonable accommodations in training, housing, job sites, and other areas to enable them to serve safely and effectively.

Dear all,
Word associations have been very important in the study of word meanings in cognitive science. Currently, different professors are trying to build a network of word associations in English. In order to do this, we need many native (or at least very fluent) English speakers to participate in a small fun tast that does not take more than five minutes. In the task, we present a short list of words and ask people to write down the first three words they think of after reading the cue word. In order to build the network, we need about 100 participants responding to every cue word and we need thousands of cue words. That implies that we need thousands of participants. It seems a lot, but we've done this before: we succeeded over the past few years of reaching about 80.000 perticipants in Flanders and in the Netherlands to do the task in Dutch. However, since English is THE scientific language worldwide, it would be much more interesting to build a similar network in English. So if you have five minutes of spare time, please visit
As the dataset will be open for all interested scientists, you will help many of us by participating. It would even be better if you can spread this call by e-mail, facebook, or other means. If you have suggestions about other ways in which we can reach people willing to participate in this small task, please don't hesitate to contact us. My coordinates are given below.
With kind regards,
Professor Dr. Gert Storms

Whew--I was afraid it was going to be timed! Thanks for not making it so. I did give honest answers but there were several I couldn't think of in, say, two seconds or a similar limit.
Edit: good luck with this study.

DS is 8 1/2 months and this morning we had our first really rough morning getting out of the house and off to daycare and work. He's starting to do this thing where whenever I am out of his sight (only while at home) he whines and whimpers incessantly. I love him but it drives me nuts! We were running late, he was fussy, I was half put-together, it was 7 degrees outside, yadda yadda yadda. As I put him into his snowsuit I was firmly telling him that he needed to stop wiggling so we could go to daycare.
Man.... Thank goodness the hard mornings are only occasional because I don't know how I would handle it on a daily basis. Anyone else know what I mean?

When my editor asked me to write an article on email, my first reaction was to mimic a sound I used to hear on Sesame Street. Come on now; what can be written about email that hasn't already been said? What can children and grandparents both do at the drop of a hat? What easier way is there to share a joke or comment on the latest goings-on? What more efficient and flexible monitoring and report tool does there exist for the system administrator?
However, back in my early years I was confused to no end by all those terms that I had to know stone cold. Obscure combinations of letters and numbers had to be memorized. There's so much out there on email that one could spend a good chunk of his inheritance exploring the technology.
Tools of the Trade
Tricks of the Trade
In the beginning, there was the word and the word was email.
Email's mode of transmission is based on 7-bit ASCII. In other words, early Internet communication was only 128 characters — specifically numbers and letters — that we use in English. Hence no Icelandic, Chinese, Hebrew or Greek, to name a few languages. Also, there were no pictures, or sound clips. The only messages sent were English text.
Related Reading
The mid-1990's was a time of evolution. The ordinary person discovered the Internet and the Internet discovered a new purpose. The first RFCs (Requests For Comments) were coming out, describing a standard for email transmissions of images, sounds, and binaries that would overcome the 7-bit ASCII limitations that had been adopted all those years before. MIME or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, was a new standard meant to succeed the patchwork of binary-to-ASCII solutions.
There are two major divisions of email clients, graphical and console.
Graphical clients are best used when the content, be it text or multi-media, is processed by a person, and human factor plays an important function in both as the sender and receiver of the communication.
Console clients do the same thing as their graphical counterparts, but there is less multimedia support. A console client's great strength is its economical usage of machine resources; it lends itself well to scripting.
Typically there are four links in the email chain:
Composition with a mail user agent (MUA), such as Mozilla. Creating an email is a painless procedure with most programs. It's simply a matter of filling in the blanks.
• The address to which to send the message.
• The subject matter.
• The message, which can include all manner of information including text, sound, and graphics.
• The return address, your email address.
Delivering the message using a message transfer agent (MTA);
sendmail is a good example. Configuring the MTA is normally a one-time issue that happens
when using the email client for the first time.
Storing a message destined for a recipient -- the POP (Post Office Protocol) server accesses the message delivered by the MTA. Small ISPs and office intranets often have the same server running both the POP and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) servers. Larger organizations separate the duties, normally for a combination of performance and security reasons.
Message retrieval, once again using the ubiquitous mail user agent.
There are two competing protocols used:
POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3)is the most common. A client logs in and is able to download the message, with the option of removing it from the server.
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is best used in an organization where control of the email itself becomes a corporate issue. The email can be accessed from anywhere, but it stays on one machine. IMAP has additional features over POP in that it is capable of doing keyword searching.
Back in those early days, the easiest way for people to learn to email was to associate specific actions with real-world equivalents. Take, for example, the addressing of an email:
Hence the terms subject, to, cc (carbon copy), and bcc (blind or blank carbon copy). For those people who were born after the invention of electricity, carbon copy refers to a special composite of paper and ink that when pressed hard by a writing implement, such as a pen, it would produce a number of copies of the same information on several layers of paper. That's how Bill Gates signed his first contract with IBM.
I had a student from the old Soviet Union. She was quite bright; in her
homeland she used to program directly into machine language, and I do mean
1s and
0s. Her father-in-law was one of the moon
drivers for the Luna moon
missions. Another interesting habit of hers was to email her husband by
using a
telnet session into both the SMTP and POP servers.
SMTP and POP3 are among a number of protocols that use a pseudo-English language. The original intention was to allow anybody to interface with a server directly and carry out a communication session — to send and receive email.
Just for the fun of it, I replicated what she did in a
telnet session on my
own servers.
Here's a subset of SMTP:
|Protocol Command
HELO localhost.localdomain
|Initiate communication with SMTP server
MAIL FROM: email@example.com
|Specify who is sending the email
RCPT TO: firstname.lastname@example.com
|Specify who is to receive the email
|Specify data of the email (any number of lines)
|A period alone specifies the end of the email
|Close the connection
Here's a sample SMTP session from my own machine. After I've connected, all of the SMTP server's responses start with numeric codes.
[bernier@wolf bernier]$
telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to wolf (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost.localdomain; ESMTP Thu, 6 Mar 2003 17:57:01 -0500
helo localhost
250 localhost.localdomain Hello wolf [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
mail from: bernier@localhost
250 2.1.0 bernier@localhost... Sender ok
rcpt to: firstname.lastname@example.com
250 2.1.5 email@example.com... Recipient ok
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
subject; I'm hungry, send pizza
Please send me one large pepperoni all dressed.
Don't forget the pineapples!
250 2.0.0 h26N3hs18884 Message accepted for delivery
221 2.0.0 localhost.localdomain closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
Here's a subset of the POP3 protocol:
|Protocol Command
USER username
|Identify the user
PASS password
|Type in the password
|Lists all emails available
|Retrieval of a given email
|Mark a given email for deletion upon clean logout
|Close the session cleanly
Here's the
telnet session from my ISP's POP server:
bash-2.05$ telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain Escape character is '^]'. +OK InterMail POP3 server ready. user bernier +OK please send PASS command pass 1234 +OK bernier is welcome here list +OK 1 messages retr 2 +OK 767 octets Return-Path: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Received: from localhost.localdomain ([22.214.171.124]) by tomts5-srv.bellnexxia.net (InterMail vM.5.01.04.19 201-253-122-122-119-20020516) with ESMTP id <email@example.com> for <email@example.com>; Thu, 6 Mar 2003 22:02:59 -0500 Received: (from bernier@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (XXX/linuxconf) id h2730mA01858 for firstname.lastname@example.com; Thu, 6 Mar 2003 22:00:48 -0500 Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2003 22:00:48 -0500 From: root <firstname.lastname@example.com> Message-Id: <email@example.com> To: email@example.com Subject: I'm hungry send pizza Please send me one large pepperoni all dressed. Don't forget the pineapples! .
telnet is the best way to figure out why email doesn't work. You will
be informed the exact reason from the server why there's a failure, unlike the
error messages that you get from clients such as, for example, Microsoft outlook.
Many help-desk technicians receive some form of training in the POP and SMTP
This is such a useful little trick. We had an employee that worked from home
on a dial-up connection. Every Friday night he had to leave his machine on so
some automated tasks could take place. His machine was therefore configured to
send an email with his IP address about 10 minutes prior to the maintenance
mode starting. The
cron job on his machine consisted of a one-line command
similar to the one below. (Be careful about the use of
cut; the
number of digits for the IP address range was already known, so we were able to
specify the address length exactly.)
echo `/sbin/ifconfig | grep -A 1 eth0 | grep inet \
| cut -c21-33 ` | mail -s employeeX email@example.com
Have you ever used
Both utilities are designed to encode binary information to the ASCII character
set. The
shar utility has a built-in script that will return the encoded information to
its original binary format by running as a shell command. Both tools were
once crucial to sending binary information across the Internet via email.
Suppose you want to encode a 38Kb binary image called
mykitty.jpg. You
can do it by trying the following:
$ cat mykitty.jpg | uuencode - > mykitty.ascii.uu
$ uudecode -o mykitty.jpg mykitty.ascii.uu Returns it to
binary form
$ shar mykitty.jpg > mykitty.ascii.sh
$ sh mykitty.ascii.sh Returns it to binary form
Did you notice that the ASCII-encoded files are larger? Remember, when you send a 1Mb zipped file across the Internet, you are sending a file that is significantly larger than what presently sits on your computer.
I knew a sysadmin who worked on contract with several firms. He would often
keep track of his machines by having automated reports sent to his personal
account supplied by his ISP. There was, however, a bit of a problem: although he
had plenty of space allotted to his account, he was limited to each individual
email being no larger than 5Mb. His solution was to use
Here is a typical listing of the files after the archives have been created for a contract he called companyMega:
companyMega.01 companyMega.06 companyMega.11 companyMega.16 companyMega.21
companyMega.02 companyMega.07 companyMega.12 companyMega.17 companyMega.22
companyMega.03 companyMega.08 companyMega.13 companyMega.18 companyMega.23
companyMega.04 companyMega.09 companyMega.14 companyMega.19 companyMega.24
companyMega.05 companyMega.10 companyMega.15 companyMega.20 companyMega.25
Here's a snippet of code that was run as part of a
cron job:
shar -L 4000 -o companyMega companyMega.logs.tar.gz
Now loop and mail the individual archives through a script called
for u
echo attachment backup for $u | mutt -a $u -s $u firstname.lastname@example.com
The script was invoked in the active directory as follows:
sh sendoff.sh `ls companyMega.*`
An alternative to
mutt is the old standby
cat $u | mail -s bakup:$u firstname.lastname@example.com
The difference between this command and the former is by using
mutt, I've sent off the backup as a MIME attachment. That is a bit
cleaner to deal with for those of the non-scripting persuasion — just manually
save the attachment into a directory of your choosing.
Reassembling the file is trivial:
unshar -e companyMega.*
Email is as important as the telephone. Security is the buzzword on the Internet these days. My next article will continue this discussion on email and demonstrate how to carry out authentication and encryption with several email clients using OpenSSL.

D&E College Hospitality programs featured at state events
Davis & Elkins College staff and students from Graceland Inn and Hospitality Management recently wrapped up a series of off-campus spring presentations.
Graceland Innkeeper Clark Evans and Melanie Campbell, Davis & Elkins College general manager of hospitality services and assistant professor of hospitality management, participated in the Legislative Reception hosted at the Cultural Center as part of West Virginia Tourism Day in Charleston. West Virginia Commissioner of Agriculture Walt Helmick, Sen. Clark Barnes and Delegates Bill Hartman and Denise Campbell, along with other state leaders, attended the reception.
The annual event brings together members of the state's tourism and hospitality community to share the wide spectrum of offerings. Representatives of Davis & Elkins College have attended the event for 20-plus years, Campbell said.
"It also gives us a chance to meet with legislative representatives," Campbell said. "As members of the West Virginia Tourism Association, it's important to stay in contact with our legislative leaders. We want to know what's going on in the Legislature because there are some issues that directly affect us."
Campbell and Evans, along with Head Chef of Dining Services Derrick Lantz, also accompanied student Ruby Stathers to the West Virginia Culinary Classic at Stonewall Resort. Stathers, a senior from Marietta, Ohio, majors in hospitality management.
Participants in the annual public event prepare select items from their menus to give guests a taste of their offerings. Graceland Inn served tuna carpaccio with mango salsa, Chef Mel's brownies with marinated blackberries in balsamic vinegar, and peanut Asian slaw.
The college has been represented at the event for 10 years, Campbell said.
"It was a great opportunity for Ruby to experience the resort and be a part of a great evening of sharing a taste of Graceland with others," Campbell said.
The hospitality management major is designed to provide students with a sound knowledge of management principles and a thorough understanding of food and other hospitality-related businesses along with practical, working experience. In addition to off-campus internships, students have the opportunity to work on campus in the Graceland Inn and Conference Center.

Man faces another felony charge
BARRE A Chelsea man accused of crashing his truck and taking off on foot, leaving two passengers seriously injured, after robbing the Roxbury Country Store last month was in court for another felony charge in connection with the incident.
Kyle B. Larrabee, 19, pleaded not guilty in Washington County criminal court in Barre on Thursday to felony possession of stolen property. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 10 years and a $5,000 fine.
Larrabee already is facing a felony burglary charge in Washington County and three charges in Orange County from the incident.
Police say he and Eric Parker, 21, of Derby Line, burglarized three locations in February: Interstate Maintenance Corp. in Barre Town, a garage in Orange County, and the store.
Police say that while Larrabee and Parker were burglarizing the Roxbury Country Store, owner Randy Whitney caught them and tried to hold them down, but the two got away. The truck Larrabee was driving, according to police, crashed into a guardrail on Route 66 in Randolph, and Larrabee reportedly ran off.
Police said a passenger, Stephanie Demar, 21, of Barre, suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. Parker had serious facial injuries from the crash.
The latest charge for Larrabee stems from the items found in the crashed truck. Police say they found items in the bed of the truck that were reported stolen from Interstate Maintenance. Police say around $3,000 in equipment and tools was taken from the company.
Larrabee also is facing charges of driving under the influence, injury resulting, negligent operation of a vehicle and driving with a suspended license in Orange County for the crash. He is being held at Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield for lack of $10,000 bail in Orange County and $5,000 bail in Washington County.
Judge Thomas Zonay apologized to Larrabee Thursday for having him transported all the way to Barre just to add another charge to his open case. Larrabee did not seem to mind.
Its a trip out of jail, man, he said.
Parker also is facing charges of felony burglary and felony possession of stolen property for his role in the incident. He is being held on $10,000 bail.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama tops the list of the worst presidents since World War Two, according to a new national poll.
And the survey, released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University, also indicates that a plurality of voters nationwide say in hindsight that the country would be better off if Mitt Romney had won the 2012 presidential election.
Thirty-three percent of people questioned in the poll say that Obama is the worst president since the Second World War, with 28% saying George W. Bush was the worst. Thirteen percent picked Richard Nixon, with 8% naming Jimmy Carter.
"Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
It's important to note that Obama and Bush, his predecessor in the White House, are more in the public conscious than previous presidents, and that both have governed during a time of bitter partisanship that's made compromise between the two major political parties extremely difficult. When Quinnipiac last asked the question, in 2006, Bush topped the list, with 34% saying he was the nation's worst president.
According to the poll, Ronald Reagan (at 35%) tops the list of the best president since WWII, with 18% saying Bill Clinton was best, followed by John F. Kennedy at 15% and Obama at 8%.
Voters are divided on whether Obama's been a better president than his predecessor, with 39% saying he's better than Bush and 40% saying he's worse. No surprise, there's a wide partisan divide on this question.
Bush left office in January 2009 with very low poll numbers. But according to a recent CNN/ORC International survey, his favorable rating now stands at 46%, up 11 percentage points over the past five and a half years. His favorable rating, according to the CNN poll, is now on par with Obama.

UW-La Crosse students are learning first-hand the dangers of texting while driving.
The campus brought in a driving simulator Friday.
Students sat behind the wheel of a car and wore a video visor. They then used their own cell phone to try to send text messages to see how dangerous it can be.
Some students ended up speeding, driving off the road, even hitting pedestrians in the simulator.
Organizers say it's an important lesson, especially on a college campus. "A lot of people do have cars on campus and just walking down the street I will see so many people just picking up their phone and texting while they're driving and it's important for everyone to know that it's dangerous and it can happen to anyone," said Anna Peters from the Campus Activities Board.
The "Aware TXT" simulator is becoming a favorite among high school and college campuses around the country.
Police officers say it sends the right message about distracted driving. "When you are driving, all your attention needs to be on the road and paying attention to what's happening on the road for both your safety and other vehicles' safety and pedestrian and bicycle safety," said La Crosse Police Lt. Patrick Hogan.
Law enforcement says you should pull over if you absolutely have to make a call or send a text.

Latest ALLPlayer 6.9 best for movies with subtitles.
We are introducing the next update of ALLPlayer 6.9, in which the authors following the latest technological trends have added gesture control, and support for Windows touch screens.
With this feature can you easily change screen size, rewind a movie, and in full screen mode like on Android players, there is convenient volume control on the right side of the screen, and brightness on the left side.
This way desktop ALLPlayer got familiar features like ALLPlayer Android, available in Google Play.
ALLPlayer 6.9 also works better with ALLPlayer Remote, which supports now not only ALLplayer, but all video players. ALLPlayer Remote can be used also as a virtual touch keyboard and mouse.
