A VITAL project to help countless thousands of women and children vulnerable to rape and sexual abuse in a war-ravaged corner of Africa has been completed with the aid of Swindon communications expert Brian Barber.
The internationally funded initiative saw Mr Barber make two week-long visits to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which is in a constant state of upheaval and where death and violence are an ever present threat.
His remit was to build and install a mobile phone information system which will enable the rape and abuse of youngsters and adults to be more easily reported.
Mr Barber's two trips to the DRC this year sandwiched an official visit from British Foreign Secretary William Hague and actress and human rights campaigner Angelina Jolie.
They were there in March to highlight widespread violence and sexual abuse in the civil war stricken DRC and to see what measures had been put in place to protect citizens from such attacks. Initially Mr Barber, 65, of Peatmoor, West Swindon had been set to visit DRC's second city Goma, via Kenya and Rwanda, in December last year.
But the project was hastily postponed days before he was due to fly out after the Congolese city, where around a million people live, was seized by a rebel army. Mr Barber was eventually allowed to go in February following the withdrawal from Goma of the rebel militia, known as M23, which has been fighting government troops for several months.
He installed a refined version of a communications system that he originally designed and built in Afghanistan two years ago.
After monitoring the system from his Swindon home he returned at the end of April to complete the project, making further adjustments and checking that it was working correctly.
Now back in Swindon, he said: "There were good bits and bad bits about going to Goma. You can feel the tension in the city. People are understandably twitchy. They just don't know what is going to happen next.
"Factions of the rebel army are involved in internal scraps. There's a lot of in-fighting. No-one is sure whether or when the city will be invaded again."
A planned trip to a town around 30 miles from Goma had to be scrapped following concerns over Mr Barber's safety.
He said: "I felt quite safe in the city, I was escorted everywhere. They also put me in a hotel around 100 metres from the border with Rwanda. If any sort of trouble broke out I could run across to Rwanda.
"But it would have been too dangerous for me to get out into the countryside. There are small groups of militia operating there who would see a white man as a target for a kidnap and ransom, so I wasn't allowed to leave the city."
The project was jointly funded by the international media charity the Institute for War and Peace Reporting and the American Bar Association, comprising US lawyers and law students.
Mr Barber described the level of sexual attacks in DRC as widespread and sickening. He said: "Rape is used as a weapon to spread fear, terror and HIV.
"It's very common and is considered the norm. The perpetrators don't think twice about committing these crimes. It's shocking."
He said the communications project aimed to establish "a new and efficient means of filing data relating to gender based violence to the courts, enabling the authorities to take action and proceed with prosecutions."
His system will now enable police from 15 rural areas scattered around the region of Goma to transfer information from a laptop via a mobile phone as they do not have internet on their phones.
He said: "Currently it is very difficult getting statements and other data from the rural police stations into the central judiciary."
Mr Barber has been providing vital communications links in war zones and trouble spots for 16 years.
He was still perturbed, however, by the appalling conditions in Goma. "There are street kids six or seven years old wandering around homeless trying to eke out a meagre living.
"It is a very primitive place. There is no street lighting. The roads are still covered in the solidified remains of lava from a volcano that erupted ten years ago. It's like driving on corrugated iron.
"Nothing ever gets repaired or maintained when there is war or the threat of war.
"Goma is a disaster. Just compare it to Rwanda next door where the streets are clean, the street lighting works, there are cafes, and a proper police force."
Mr Barber first went to this region of Africa in 1997 while working for Swindon-based Lucent Technologies to help create radio infrastructure. While there he helped clear mass graves from the Rwandan genocide when 800,000 people were killed.

Bad Girls ran for about eight years and aired on ITV. I used to watch it fairly regularly in the days it used to on as it was something a bit different to the usual drama. The programme was set in Larkhill women's prison and focused on the everyday goings on there and in the lives of the prisoners on G Wing. This particular wing was full of a lot of women who were in for life for murders or other such serious crimes such as fraud and child abuse.
There was alot covered in the show that perhaps might not have been covered in a men's prison. But among the controversial subject there was drugs, murder, rape and lesbian affairs sometimes between the actual prisoners and sometimes between them and the guards.
As with alot of dramas the characters are all important and they are all very good and the relationships between them brilliant. Some of the more familar characters were Shell Dockley played by Debra Stephenson who had an affair with Jim Fenner played by Jack Ellis. Then there was Yvonne Atkins played by Linda Henry, played Linda Henry who is now Shirley in Eastenders. Her character was murdered in the show. Throughout each series the subjects were looked into in depth which made it so enjoyable and were extremely powerful in the way they were dealt with.
It's a shame it ended to be honest with you and is worth watching some of the re-runs if you've never watch an episode
'Bad Girls' was a British television drama, shown on ITV between 1999 and 2006. The show lasted for 8 series and centred around Larkhall women's prison, and the lives of the inmates and officers on G-Wing.
'Bad Girls' started out as a gritty drama with hard-hitting, socially relevant relevant plots, but ended as a farce when one of the prison officers was visited by the ghost of a former inmate. Over the first 3 series (when the programme was at its best) the storyline which attracted the most attention from fans was the forbidden love story between inmate Nikki and prison officer Helen. Mandana Jones (Nikki) and Simone Lahbib (Helen) acted their parts beautifully and when they left, the show really felt their departure. After this, the show portrayed various other lesbian relationships, perhaps in an attempt to emulate the success of Helen and Nikki, but generally these fell flat, as Jones and Lahbib had great chemistry which proved very difficult to copy.
During the time when 'Bad Girls' was still considered a serious drama, it covered some very dark storylines, such as one officer's abuse of her elderly mother who she was meant to be caring for, domestic violence, and suicide, as well as screening some pretty harrowing scenes. Amongst all this high drama, the occasional bit of humour was very welcome, and some of the inmates schemes like operating an adult chat line from their cells, and making a 'special brew' using rhubarbs from the prison allotment, provided a light-hearted foil for some of the more grim events taking place.
The thing that annoyed me most about 'Bad Girls', was its bad habit of completely dropping storylines with no explanation to their outcome; characters would disappear from one series to the next and the last 2 series in particular left a huge murder storyline with practically no explanation. As a dedicated viewer of the programme this was very frustrating, and probably assisted in the show's demise. The programme's creators threw in quite a lot of disposable characters towards the end too (Rowan Dunlop, Arun Parmar), none of whom made much of an impact.
Despite this, over the years 'Bad Girls' gave us some fantastic characters such as the eternally grumpy Sylvia 'Bodybag' Hollamby, top dog Yvonne Atkins, 'The Costa Cons' Phyl and Bev, and one of the greatest British TV villains of all time; corrupt officer Jim Fenner. Several of the characters are played by familiar faces, many of whom popped up in soaps before and after their stint on the show, Claire King (Emmerdale), Sid Owen (Eastenders), Danielle Brent (Hollyoaks), Eva Pope (Coronation Street) among many others.
All 8 series are available to buy on DVD; the first few series have excellent extra features, with lots of cast interviews and bloopers, whereas the last couple of series are a bit of a let down, and provide very few special features.
As disappointing as it was to see the once strong storylines and characters, being replaced with nonsensical plots, and one dimensional bit-players towards the end of it's run, in it's heyday, 'Bad Girls' was unmissable television, and so it merits 4 stars from me, on the strength of it's first 3 series.
Bad Girls was a discontinued series which ran for eight years and was set in HMP Larkhill on G Wing. The show was based on the every day events that went on in the prison, and covered almost every possible thing which could be a problem in a womens prison, from drug smuggeling to murder, sexuality to rape, and everything in between! Most of the prisoners on the G wing were going to be in prison for a very long time, and had been sent there for everything from child abuse to fraud. Anyone who watched bad girls could probably never forget Shell Dockley's (Played by Debra Stephenson, also used to play Frankie in Coronation street) affair with Jim Fenner ( Played by Jack Ellis). Or the murder of Yvonne Atkins ( played by Linda Henry, currently Shirley in Eastenders). The show always seemed to show each subject with compassion, althrough it was very graphic.
The show proved to be very popular, and many were shocked when it was discontinued, me amongst them!
Some of the best and most memorable characters were
*Yvonne Atkins (Four years for conspiracy to commit murder)
*Di Barker (a screw)
*Karen Betts (wing governor)

*Jim fenner (Principal Officer and then eventually, G-Wing Governor)
*Seleena Geeson (NEPO (New Entrant PO) joined to be with her girlfriend kris yates)
*Mandy Goodhue (Officer)
*Crystal Gordan (Twelve months for persistent shoplifting. She was later returned to Larkhall after being found guilty of harbouring escapees Shell and Denny.)
*Neil grayling (Governor (Grade 1) until demoted to G-Wing Governor )
*Sylvia hollumby (Senior Officer. She has also twice stood in as Acting Wing Governor)
*Barbara Hunt (Three years for manslaughter: the mercy-killing of her husband.)
*Julie johnston (Originally sentenced to two years for theft, but now serving a term of eight years for GBH with intent.)
*Pat kerrigan (Life: she stabbed her abusive boyfriend to death.)
*Buki lester (Thirty months for GBH after she knifed her pimp)
*Joy masterton (Governor (Grade 1))
*Dominic mccallister (officer)
*Snowball merryman (Four years for drug smuggling. She committed the crime in order to avoid extradition to the USA for the murder of a photographer in Florida.)
*Al mckenzie (Thirty months for GBH and handling stolen goods. Later sentenced to life imprisonment for Virginia's murder.)
*Tina o'kane (Originally sentenced to thirty-six months for handling stolen goods. She was then released and then remanded for setting fire to a clothes shop. Still on remand, this time for manslaughter.)
*Phyl Oswyn (Five years for fraud. She and partner-in-crime, Bev Tull sold shares in a non-existent Costa del Sol golf course and ran bogus charities in aid of Spanish orphans.
*Arun palmer (Three years for credit card fraud. Her co-defendant, Janine, is serving five years because Arun wimped out in the dock and changed her plea to guilty.)
*Zandra plackett (Ten months for credit card fraud.)
*Lou stoke (Deputy Governing Governor)
*Julie saunders (Originally sentenced to two years for theft. Now serving a term of eight years for GBH with intent.)
*Helen stewart (Wing Governor, then Lifers' Liaison Officer and then finally Governing Governor.)
*Bev tull (Five years for fraud. She and Phyl sold shares in a non-existent Costa del Sol golf course and ran bogus charities in aid of Spanish orphans.)

*Nikki wade (Life: she killed a policeman who was attempting to rape her girlfriend, Trisha.)
*Sheena williams (Five years for repeated possession of drugs and shoplifting.)
*Shaz wylie (Life: she murdered three people by spiking the oysters she sold in a supermarket.)
*Kris yates (Life. She was convicted of murdering her father by stabbing him through the heart when he was asleep. Kris confessed to the crime to protect the real killer, her younger sister, Milly.)
At one point there was even a bad girls musical, althrough i never heard all that much about it to be honest. I would honestly recommend that anyone looking for a gritty, believable( well, almost ) drama buy the box sets of this show, i have watched mine around 5 times now and am still not bored in the slightest! They definately aren't cheap for all of them, but they are a great investment for hours of watching
Bad Girls was one of the best drama's on TV that was on at that time, and I couldnt believe it ended. Set in a womens prison, it showed the lives of both the inmates and the officers, and each and every character was brilliant in their own, and I couldnt fault the acting, they made it seem so real. There were so many big storylines in this show, and every series had a big episode, like the one where on of the officers got stabbed, or when an imate blew the prision up in and escape attempt, they were all very dramatic.
Throughout the seven years that it was on our screens, the characters changed so often. You have th long timers who were in it from begining to end, such as the two Julies to new one's such as Pat Kerrigan and Buxton. Of course it wouldnt be a prison drama without the officers, many of who acted like cons. Jim Fenner had to be my favourite, and if anyone knew what he had done throughout the show, he would have been locked up himself, he was so cruel, but he did get his compupence in that he was murdered.
As a result of the show ending, I have had to buy the DVD boxset so that I can watch whenever I like. It was repeated briefly on channel 5 but it stopped after a couple of series's. Of course nothing like that could ever happen in a prison but it is a drama and a good one at that. I was so disappointed when it ended, it was a highlight to my Thursday, and was one of the best shows on TV, I miss it greatly. I wouldnt recommend it for children as there is extreme violence, drug use and of course swearing, so bare this in mind. A great exciting show.
Bad Girls is a prison drama series that ran on ITV between 1999 and 2006. It featured the fictional Larkill Women's Prison, and each week focused on the main inmates and wardens invovled with the prison.
The storylines were at times harrowing, and often bridged a numkber of episodes. As such, it is a hard drama to just watch a random episode of. There are those that have one storyline featuring all the way through, but the constant plots and character development throughout each series is lost on those who don't really watch it from the beginning.
I first started watching it when I borrowed the box set from a housemate, curled up one afternoon while ill at University (ill, not hungover!) and watched the best part of 10 episodes in one day! Although I found it entertaining, it was easy watching and the episodes didn't really vary each time and I didn't feel I had to concentrate too much to get the gist of what was going on.
Bad Girls has made stars of some of its cast, who have been praised for their performances and gone on to bigger things. Debra Stephenson is one such actress, who has gone on to have a solid role on Coronation Street before taking a break for a family. Similarly, some of the cast have chosen to remain with the show until it finished in 2006, and others have joined the show having already made their names elsewhere, such as Claire King of Emmerdale fame and Amanda Barrie, of Corrie fame.
Bad Girls is an entertaining show to watch, and it won't be long before repeats start appearing all over ITV2, 3, 4 and whatever other channels pop up. The acting is decent, and the props and sets are miles better than Prisoner Cell Block H! Give it a go. It's nothing special, but better than a lot of a lot of programs to have come our way over the past decade or so.
Bad Girls is a television drama that is set in a women's prison in the UK.
The show has been through several series (about six I think) and I do believe that they have finished filming it now.
Most of the cast are female, and include stars from other shows. Of course, the characters changed throughout the series, but long term and popular characters included Nikke Wade, Helen Stewart, Bodybag (one you loved to hate!), Shell Dockley, Denny and The Two Julies. One of the meanest characters was Jim Fenner.
My personal opinion is that the show was better in the first three series. I think that the characters were more believable, and that the storylines were fresher.
Also I think that in later series, they tried to introduce characters and expect us to connect with them, but without any knowledge of them, this was difficult.
The show is definitely adult viewing only (violence and sexual scenes) and was shown after the nine o clock watershed.
I enjoyed the show because I liked the characters and the drama.
If you have not seen any of the episodes, I would recommend starting with series one and watch from there, through at least until the end of series three.
Bad girls was an award winning drama, and definitely faced many taboos within society at the time, and actually to this day. It was aired in 1999-2006.
This in my opinion, was just a fantastic series. It basically revolved around a womens prison, and demonstrated a wide range of dramas that could well happen (although some of them were not so believable/realistic).
I personally think that the fact the series was set in a womens prison was an interesting choice, and definitely worked extremely well. We normally see mens violent actions within prison walls. But from the womens side of things, we saw both the physical and psychological torture that would occur within 'Larkill Prison'. The two combined together made very a very compelling mixture, which proved to be addictive to watch.
I think the most interesting thing to watch was the circumstances in which every girl had come from. They all had their own stories...Some were caught 'prostituting younger girls' whereas others for being wrongly accused. The clash of different characters was certainly a strong aspect, and really added alot of drama to the programme.
'Bad girls' dealt with alot of serious matters, and certainly covered a lot of controversial subjects. Miscarriages, riots, suicide, blackmail and sordid relationships between prisoners and officers were just a few of the story lines that took place within the somewhat rough prison.
The watchability factor was sky high, but i couldnt help but feel that the last episode was rushed for some strange reason. I remember watching a strange christmas episode, which had the 'ghost of fenner', which was just plain wierd and really seemed a little bit too unrealistic. Then there was a ghost of natalie, which was no better.
Shame about the ending, but i found the majority of the 8 episodes absolutely genius, and would recommend to all (over the age of 13).
What channel was it on?
What time was it aired and how long for?
9.00pm was the usual time, and each episode ran for around an hour.
All in all, i enjoyed watching this programme, it definitely had a more daring approach than many dramas we see today.
Bad girls:
I loved this and it was so sad to see it end.
I loved all of the characters from as far as I can remember, with Deni and Michelle torturing Silvia and Bobby. I also loved the exciting scene when the suspected terrorist came in, and they thought she had crystal-math, which turned out to just be ligiones air deseise.
The newer characters bought some more excitement into it, such as Genine and Natalie. The officers also brought in excitement with there dodgy ways of work and the things they did.
I have now collected the set of DVD's of the prison drama, bad girls; and i find them great to watch.
This program doesn't really represent a real prison to what I've been told.
The ending to bad girls was terrible tho and was such a dissapointment
Also it is not for people who do not like violence, swearing, abuse and things like that, as it can get your mind going.
I absolutely love Bad Girls and have started collecting the box sets on DVD.
It is set in the fictional women's prison in Larkhall, and there really is some hard hitting drama, all sorts from drugs, sex, murder and also some funny parts too especially with the antics of the two "costa cons" who are always trying to make their own alchohol in prison or something just as crazy.
I think they made about 8 or 9 series, and as they went on, the story lines did seem to get a little more outrageous and far fetched, and Jim Fenner who is the baddy prisoner officer, got more and more evil, but he got what he deserves in the end!
Some of the characters come and go, and some are in it all the way through like the two Julies - best mates and cell mates and in prison for being prostitutes. You get to grow to like some of the characters,but some of them are just plain evil and you can't wait until they get what they deserve!
The last one that was made was a one of Christmas special, and I have to say that it was too over the top and not believeable in any way. It spoiled it a bit, as it didn't seem to run in line with the rest of the series. It was just plain silly.
Apart from that though, the rest of the series were very popular and had some real gripping drama. A little over the top maybe, but that's what makes a good watchable show.
Bad Girls was an ITV drama set in Larkhill Prison which was an all womens prison and the show focused on the lives of both the inmates and the prison officers.
Needless to say with a show set in a prison there was no shortage of bad characters however it did sem that most of these were actually the ones in the prison warders uniforms rather than the ones in prison garb, in particular the biggest and baddest of the lot was the character Jim Fenner played by Jack Ellis, he is manipulative and not adverse to taking advantage of his position to have sex with the inmates and also other guards. Most noticeable was his affair with inmate hell Dockley who is serving life and after the affair ends she sets out to get revenge on Fenner.
This show was really good in the early days but as the series wore on so the plots got ever stupider and more extreme until towards the end you just wondered if there were any non crimials in the jail at all as even the Govenor seemed involved in crime or abuse of some sort.
On the plus side it was quite engaging as a show and certainly managed to suck you in to be a regular viewer as so many story lines were running at any one time.
Bad girls was a brittish tv drama broadcast on itv1, i cant remember when it first started but it was on for quite a few years, it was produced by the same company as footballers wives which is why these two dramas were run at different times of the year to one another.
It was set in a fictional prison called larkhall, in g wing, there are a total of 8 series of bad girls i think and it was always on at 9pm but the day did change from year to year although it was mostly tuesdays and thursdays.
This drama was great, it always had me hooked right from the start, it covered all the things you would expect to happen in prison and a lot of things you couldnt even dream of happening.
Prisoners hung themselves, got pregnant by the screws, and even murdered.
Shell dockley (sorry i dont know her real name) went on to play frankie baldwin in coronation street which took a bit of getting used to after seeing evil shell
Jim fenner was one of the prison guards, god was he horrible, the inmates end up killing him.
If you havent seen this it is well worth watching, it can now be found on five life as they brought the rights to this and footballers wives off itv.
Be prepared for a roller coaster ride though, some of the story lines are just humorous and others are heart wrenching.
I'm not going to say how great the over all string of series were, we can all agree they were great, with brilliant story lines and excellent characters.
I want to talk about that last ever episode which aired at Christmas a couple of years ago. What on earth were the writers thinking?? It was a stupid way to end a series. They spent like 10 series (or some where near that number) writing these characters and building on them only to blow it all to pieces in the last episode.
I always loved Bad Girls for it's outrageous and unrealistic stories, but going the whole A Christmas Carol thing was just plain stupid. Buxton haunting Body Bag? Body Bag turning into Mother Theresa (or near enough)??? How stupid! Pat Kerrigan, a woman who has always hated anything to do with organised religion or churches because of her childhood, ended up dancing around an xmas tree? Yeah, OK.
I could rant on, but I'm sure you all remember it. I think it's ridiculous. I know I'm ranting on and after all this time it IS a bit sad. I even sound like comic book guy from the simpsons. But I'm sorry it was such a let down and I wish I could remove it from my memory lol.
Also, just an after thought, why didn't Yvonne Atkins haunt Body Bag?? Far more 'believable' than Buxton?? Really there should have been NO hauntings at all, but I think I covered that already lol.
The first few couple of series was thrilling entertainment, but if you have ever worked in one of these establishment you would laugh at the whole thing as its quite fake. But he last series has been quite entertaining and has lived up to its billing. The killing of that bitch and the escape from poor sid of eastenders when they were handcuffed and the pissed governir was quite funny along with sexy amanda donhue is gtreat late night viewing for the ladies and men.
I do think the first few series of bad girls was the best because the characters were amazing and they kicked the show off to a brilliant head start.
Bad girls is all about life behind bars for some of the weirdest and insanist women you have ever met it is also comical in a way. The inmates get up to all sorts from drug smuggling to killing fellow inmates and in one case a prison officer.
I have been enthralled by this latest series of bad girls which has left me anxiously awaiting the next episode!

A 39-13 loss to Australia in the final Test of their summer tour in Sydney consigned Les Bleus to a series whitewash, a year after they suffered the same fate at the hands of New Zealand.
Saint-Andre's men have now lost 13 of their last 19 games, a run which has incorporated the 2013 and 2014 RBS 6 Nations tournaments in which France finished sixth and fourth respectively.
But the 47-year-old believes history shows that it would be wrong to rule out France as a potential finalist in 16 months' time.
"We know that, over time, [we] can do wonders," Saint-Andre said.
"The team conceded 50 points in New Zealand three or four months before the 1999 Rugby World Cup but still reached the final.
"Then in 2010 they conceded 50 points at the Stade de France against Australia, and yet 15 months later they failed by a point in the final against the All Blacks."

It wasn't that long ago that "superzoom" - or "ultrazoom," if you prefer - digital compacts hovered in the vicinity of the 10x optical zoom multiplication factor that defined the starting point for the class. Now that lens envelope has been pushed to 30x for the biggest zooms available, and who knows where it might end. Into this market niche comes the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 with a seemingly modest 12x optical zoom.
The ZS7 features a 12.1 megapixel sensor, a Venus Engine HD II processor, face detection technology and the ability to record shooting location data on both still images and video via a built-in GPS receiver. There's stereo sound, a 3.0-inch LCD monitor and the usual bevy of automatic and special scene shooting modes as well as full manual controls. The 12x optical zoom, which spans the 25 to 300mm focal range (35mm film equivalent), is a Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens. The focal range starts nicely wide and progresses through the 85 to 135mm range that makes nice portrait shots before winding up at a moderately long telephoto. Here's what it looks like in the real world:
Wide angle
Every Panasonic digital camera I've reviewed with a Leica DC Vario-Elmar on board has invariably been a strong performer on lens-specific issues, so that bodes well for the ZS7. Nominal ISO sensitivity is 80 to 1600, with a high sensitivity shooting mode in the scene menu that can range from 1600 to 6400 ISO at dramatically reduced resolution (3 megapixels or less). The camera has about 15MB of internal memory and can make use of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory media. Panasonic includes a battery charger, battery pack and case, AV and USB cables, hand strap and CD-ROM software with each camera.
With other companies apparently heading for the large end of the zoom spectrum, does Panasonic know what it's doing by releasing a new camera near the entry level for the class? Read on to find out.
BUILD AND DESIGNWhile superzooms that carry 15x lenses and up seem to gravitate to the mini DSLR look, those holding in the 10x to 14x range are pretty much cut from the "large deck of cards" template that characterizes the ZS7. It's slightly larger overall than a typical 5x compact, but still eminently shirt-pocket-portable. The body is metal and seems well-built, with a fit and finish in line with the competition in this class.
Ergonomics and ControlsThe body is rectangular with gently rounded edges and a subtle ridge along the right front in the area of the shutter button and zoom control to help provide better grip. Controls are clearly marked and the layout is simple. The thumb of the shooting hand will overlay some controls on the camera back, but they are either recessed into the body or require such a definite push to activate that inadvertent activations are unlikely.
Menus and ModesThere are four major menus: record, motion picture, travel mode and setup. As you might imagine, travel mode is concerned with setting GPS and date/time/location information for encoding photos or video with constantly updating information from the GPS. The record menu includes settings for most image quality issues, including the camera's color palette. The "color effect" sub-menu offers five color options that apply to both still and video images: standard, black & white (B&W), sepia, warm and cool. Here are examples of each setting.
Black and white
Shooting modes are typical automatic and scene options, along with full manual exposure controls.
Here are the standard and "happy" color schemes available when shooting the Intelligent Auto mode.
Display/ViewfinderThe 3.0-inch LCD monitor has about 460,000 dot composition and is adjustable for two levels of brightness. The monitor can be difficult to use in bright outdoor conditions. Coverage is about 100%.

Brother Vs. Brother Behind the Scenes: Episode 5
The on-call EMT has certainly become a well-known "crew member" this season on Brother Vs. Brother. Between Adi's leg, Rick's fingers (not shown) and Eric's head, the injuries have started stacking up pretty quickly.
If you saw our last "Ask the Producer" post, producer Loren Ruch reiterated the importance of safety on set. Although an injury-free season is the ultimate goal, construction is a dangerous game. Why has this season been so injury prone? "They're fighting so hard that they're sacrificing their bodies," says talent coordinator Mike Greggs.
Online host and older bro JD Scott talks to the brothers and the on-call EMT about this season's injuries. See what they have to say about the minor setbacks that have affected both teams.

With their well-organized ensemble, sweet ballads, the Australian soft-rock group presented seven straight Top Five singles. Initially, the duo comprised of vocalists Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell, while other members came through the group over the years, yet they only functioned as backing vocalists and added little to the group's flavor. Hitchcock and Russell met while performing at the production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney, Australia 1976. The two singers developed a partnership and with the addition of four supporting musicians -- keyboardist Frank Esler-Smith, guitarist David Moyse, bassist David Green, and drummer Ralph Cooper, collectively forming Air Supply.
For several years, the group was famous only within the Australian premises, earning one significant hit single, "Love and Other Bruises", until the late '70s, when Rod Stewart called them for his opening act on a North American tour. Air Supply signed a record contract with Arista in 1980, releasing their first album by the end of the year. The debut - Lost in Love, was a major success in the U.S., selling over two million copies and generating the hit singles "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," and "Every Woman in the World." The following year, their second album, The One That You Love, was released. The title song became their only number one hit and it also featured two other Top Ten hits, "Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)" and "Sweet Dreams." With their third album, 1982's Now and Forever, achieved tepid success, with only one Top Ten hit, "Even the Nights Are Better," and the other two singles, "Young Love" and "Two Less Lonely People in the World," reached the bottom of the Top 40. Air Supply released a Greatest Hits collection in 1983, featuring a new single, "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", which sent two weeks at no#2, while the album rose to no#7 and successfully sold over four million copies.
Two years later, they released Air Supply, their fourth album, which featured the no#19 single "Just As I Am," yet with a sinking fame, the album failed to go platinum. Hearts in Motion (1986) was even less successful, peaking at no#84 and spending only nine weeks on the charts. With a disappointing career, Air Supply broke up. Hitchcock and Russell reunited in 1991, releasing Earth Is..., but the album failed to make the charts compared to 1993's Vanishing Race and 1995's News From Nowhere. With the new millennium, the bands first studio album was launched, followed by a summer tour in support of Yours Truly.
Air Supply's 1982 single "Even The Nights Are Better" held an unofficial, chart record in the United States, which after reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1982, the song fell to #6, and then from #6 all the way to #42, making it the song to become the biggest single-week drop-out of the Top 40 during the "classic" era of the American Top 40. Air Supply has often been compared to the 90s musical duo Savage Garden, since both the duos were Aussies and sang mostly love songs.
Air Supply Vocalist Graham Russell lately made an appearance in Believe The Movie, a comedy about Multi Level Marketing. In late 2006, Comcast released a TV commercial which spoofed the 1980 "All Out of Love" video.

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and hard-rocking Michigan musicians Ted Nugent and Kid Rock met with President Trump at the White House Wednesday evening, and the photos have created the perfect internet firestorm.
"A great night at the White House! Thank you to President Trump for the invite!" Palin wrote on Facebook and Twitter. The trio of vocal Trump supporters appeared in one photo to be reviewing documents in the president's hands and in another mockingly posed with a portrait of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Palin shared a number of photos showing her in discussion with President Trump and White House adviser Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law.
The purpose of the visit? Nugent channeled Trump's campaign slogan explaining he dined with Trump "to make America great again" in a Facebook caption.
Palin and Nugent both campaigned for Trump, while Kid Rock threw in for the Republican nominee in interviews. The White House has not released details about the visit as of Thursday morning.
The internet had plenty of thoughts on the meeting.

Dilbert sits at his desk. The Grim Reaper enters and says, "Gilbert, your time has come." Dilbert says as beads of sweat fly off his forehead, "Gilbert?! My name is DILBERT! You have the wrong guy!" The Grim Reaper says, "Oops! Sorry. Mind if I just wait around until your number comes up?"
Dilbert is on a date. He walks his date home. She says, "I had fun talking to you tonight, Gilbert." The date says, "It got a little boring when you tried to steer the conversation away from me. But I managed to shut you down by looking uninterested." Dilbert corrects her. "It's Dilbert, not Gilbert." His date lets out a big fake yawn.
#office workers,
Dilbert: I worry that being assigned to work on the legacy systems will make me appear less valuable in the future. Catbert: You have my word that you could never appear less valuable than you are now. Gilbert: Why do your assurances make me feel worse? Catbert: Your new dress code is "troll."

It's been a long time coming but the Duke Spirit are well and truly back.
This week marked the release of Ex-Voto, a brand new EP recorded out in the Californian desert. It may only be four tracks but it sees the band revitalised and fighting fit. We caught up with Leila Moss (vocals) and Toby Butler (bass) to discuss their new material, up and coming tour and what they've been upto since we last saw them in 2005.
It's great to have you back with the new EP and tour. You've been greatly missed. For the benefit of our readers who are less familiar with The Duke Spirit, can you fill me in on what you've been up to since cuts across the land was released.
Leila: We toured america, twice in theory. We went round and round again in a splitter van. We were away for months! Last winter we changed labels, which is always a drag because weeks fly by and you're sat at home going, "is the deal done yet? When can we go and record the next album". Finally, this January, we were ready to make a proper recording schedule. We sifted through all the songs we'd stacked up, and cut the wheat from the chaff, and went to make the record this April.
You recorded most of the ep out in the desert at Joshua Tree. Surely a rock star fantasy…was it as much fun as it sounds?
Leila: Of course. We woke up in a mexican style casita on a mountain side every morning. We looked for snakes everyday. We recorded whilst some of our favourite rock and rollers would pop by for a burrito. It was hot as hell. We drunk margaritas and our new friends played us music by people we'd never had the chance to get into before, like Fatso Jetson and The Shaggs. And because we're english everyone kissed our asssses in LA. They love the brits!
Did you manage to make any pilgrimages whilst you were out there? I wouldnt have been able to resist a trip to the infamous joshua tree inn…
Leila: First night in from the airport, we stayed either side of the room he (Gram Parsons) died in. Nothing freaky happened. But our thoughts were with him. We swam in the pool, and thought about him and Keith Richards doing the same, way back in the day. Olly thought the fact that they served cereal at breakfast was awesome. He loves cereal.
Three out of the four tracks were recorded with Chris Goss. How was it working with such a revered producer, and how did the relationship come about?
Leila: We all think Queens Of The Stone Age are a magnificent punk rock band, so obviously we we're interested in who they work with. Coincidentally, whilst trying to make lists of producers to consider for the album, UNKLE got intouch with us to collaborate on a song. We said "oh sorry, but we're on tour in usa". They said "well we're making the record in california, where abouts are you"…And we said "oh, in california. And we have a day off in a few weeks". And so we drove up to the desert, spent one day and long night there. After that, we knew we wanted to return. Too many good people and such a weird beautiful place, you can't resist.
Was "Mayday" written specifically for the UNKLE collaboration?
Leila: Those guys had the beats and the riff. They just suggested we work on that one. We thought it had a good stomp.
Where did the title Ex-Voto come from?
Leila: I'd read the term studying a little bit about mexican folk art, a long time ago. It refers to art objects or paintings offered to saints or the 'gods' in hope, thanks, or prayer. Some are for the church, and are made of expensive materials, but for the most part, ex-votos were something that anyone could make – out of tin or wood, whatever. You didnt have to be rich or part of the elite to create your own spiritual offering, in picture or sculpture form. I liked the phrase. I liked the sentiment, and i love x's and v' s. They sound good.
What i've always loved about you guys is that you've never belonged to any scene and that you're never afraid to wear your musical influences on your sleeves. What were you listening to when recording the new material? There seems to be a real stax feel on lassoo for example….
Toby: We've spoken about our collective love of soul music a lot. We all love records that make you wanna dance from the hip or punch the air! So, we wanted to infuse the feel those records have into this record. That insistent stax drum beat will always make you wanna get up and shake! Also, using a horn section properly, and writing parts that accentuate how uplifting they can make a song sound. Bands like The Saints, The Stones, Rocket From The Crypt, Dexy's Midnight Runners all had that influence in them too.
Its only been two and a half years since your debut was released but a lots changed in the industry since then. The ongoing digital revolution seems to have turned the industry on its head. Other artists we've spoken to recently seem to see it as a positive thing. A two finger salute to major labels everywhere. What are your thoughts?
Toby: It's a strange time for music at the moment. We've been on a major label and didn't enjoy it, so it's easy to say it's great that they are suffering…… Which it is! The reaction though, seems to be to give music away now. Leaving playing live as the only way a band can generate an income and get by. Especially smaller bands. I can't help thinking that the price of tickets will start going up as the industry realises that this the only place where money is to be made. Making live music more and more corporate. I don't think anyone knows what will happen in the next few years. Which will hopefully generate some good music, rather than the safe generic music we are so often force fed.
So, album number two is in the bag, mixed and mastered. Could we maybe get some information on it? An album title? Release date? Tracklisting? All would be very welcome….!
Toby: It's called Neptune and as far as we know at the moment it's gonna be out early February, with a single out late January. Apparently christmas time is a tricky time to release a record! We'd get eclipsed by Cliff Richard.
Last year saw you set up your own label 'Velo'. Can you tell us a little bit about how that came about?
Toby: We were sat around waiting for our new record deal to get sorted, and got asked to play a few songs at an Arthur Lee tribute night. Knowing that we weren't gonna get to release anything during 2006 at that point, we decided to record those songs, and a few other covers, and put them out ourselves. So we created Velo. We also got the rights back to Roll Spirit Roll, so we put that out too. Next week is our first release by someone that's not us!….. A band called Congregation, who we got into at the end of last year and felt really needed to be heard, as well as being good people. It's not something we're gonna get too obsessed with, it's fun to do in periods when we're not too busy.
We spoke to your good friend Simon Raymonde (Bella Union label boss) a couple of months back, and when asked what advice he'd give to someone thinking of setting up a label he replied "think again. Be an agent, a secret agent or start a clothing label!" Did he give you any pearls of wisdom when setting up Velo?
Toby: I don't think we asked him for any advice actually. He's always very supportive of bands being pro-active and doing things for themselves. That punk D.I.Y. ethic! Running a label proper has to be incredibly hard. Bella Union has always been about putting out music he loves, and not about signing bankable scene-sters. That's why he's got such a credible and successful label now.
The label 'You are Here' are putting out the EP and new album, they seem to be a label in their infancy. How did they approach you guys?
Toby: It was through a friend of ours who told them after they saw us at Coachella festival last year, that we were just splitting with Polydor, and looking for a deal. They approached us and we liked their ideas and attitude. It seemed to be quite synchronistic. We were feeling dispondant at how crap most record companies are and so were they. They are very open minded and forward thinking, which is pretty refreshing!
There seems to be a lot of excitement for your UK tour next month. It's been around two years since your last full tour over here. What are you looking forward to the most about getting back out on the road.
Toby: There will always be a difference playing to UK audiences because we are an english band, and have that extra warmth for english crowds. We've stood in many of the venues ourselves watching bands we love. We are actually really excited about this tour, mainly because we know we've been away for a while, but also because we're coming back with a new album that we're really proud of and can't wait to play.
After touring the states extensively last year, are there any noticable differences between US and UK crowds? You really seemed to hit it off in america, do you think they just 'get' you more over there.
Toby: People do seem to understand us quicker in the US. They don't feel the need to bang on about how the singer is a girl, etc. etc. In the UK we seemed to get boxed in almost immediately by a few lazy comparisons and that can be a little annoying when you're trying to tread your own path. However, that is to be expected and isn't a big deal. I think they are used to musical diversity in the US, and like to encourage that. However, we are better at producing innovative and iconic bands here, that understand style and history in music.
You've lived with a lot of these new songs for a while now. I remember hearing "Lassoo" and "Dog Roses" back in 2005. It must be a relief to finally get them onto tape.
Toby: Yeah it was a relief to finally get them down. That time did give us the opportunity to constantly tweak those long standing songs, re-write parts, and think of better arrangements. I guess the problem with many second albums is that you don't have time to live with the new songs, to be clearly judgemental about them. We ended up being fortunate enough to live with a batch of songs and see the strongest ones come through. If we'd recorded the album straight off the back of the other, I'm sure we'd have recorded a few shit ones!
Leila, you turned up on an Archie Bronson Outift b-side, and appeared with the Jesus and Mary Chain at the Royal Festival Hall a couple of months ago. Any other Duke Spirit collaborations currently in the pipeline?
Leila: We'll give it a break for a while…See what comes up! We don't plan for that sort of thing, you just say yes if someone asks you to work on something really good, and you get along.
Toby: Through doing the UNKLE track I ended up playing on a couple of other tracks on their album, and am currently playing on an album by Rich File's (UNKLE) side project 'Deaf.' Collaborations are always cool when they come through the right kind of channels. By that I mean being friends or having a mutual admiration for each others music. It has to feel like you're extending your family.
