I am a paleontologist

I love the science of paleontology for many reasons. The science combines so many other areas of study into one bundle, such as geology, biology, functional morphology, evolution, stratigraphy, and systematics.

Not only that, dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals are just fun! And being fun, paleontology is a great way to introduce people to science in an engaging way. How many young people start their interest in science by learning about dinosaurs, and say they want to be a paleontologist when they grow up–a bunch!

Well, someone shared this video with me and I love sharing it with you. Enjoy! (you may need to scroll down).

Newest Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera

The new Nikon P7000 digital rangefinder is the latest digital camera to be released from Nikon. It is targeted for the advanced and even professional photographer with advanced features such as RAW shooting, HD video recording and easy to control and use rangefinder body style. This body style has become popular with shooters in the market for a new and higher end digital camera without the weight and size that a digital SLR might have.

It’s easy to see that Nikon is hoping with the release of the Nikon P7000 that they have a contender against the very popular Canon G series digital cameras, such as the Canon G11 and G12 models, which have been very popular amongst the advanced shooting crowd.

Full manual controls are the very first feature that the Nikon P7000 offers, and all popular camera settings such as shutter speed, ISO, white balance, aperture and even exposure control is just a flick of a dial away, allowing creative custom settings to be made even when the shooter’s eye is up the the built-in optical viewfinder, which is a rarity amongst lesser digital point and shoot cameras.

Full HD video recording is a standard feature on the new Nikon P7000 and videos are just fantastic when recorded at the 720p resolution. There are no menus to navigate–just push a button on the Nikon P7000 and you’re shooting in full HD video without navigating menus on a tiny LCD display.

The lens of the Nikon P7000 offers high end Nikkor optics and include ED glass elements as well–a high end option usually reserved for pricier Nikon SLR lenses. The lens on the Nikon P7000 offers a full 7.1x optical zoom range from 28mm to 200mm, making the new Nikon rangefinder camera the perfect camera for a wide range of different shooting situations and styles.

Outdoor Clothing – Fleece Trousers

These days, the working world can be very hectic and stressful indeed. We have always worked long hour for seemingly little gain, fulfillment, or enjoyment and this has gotten much worse in the last few years, exacerbated by the global financial crisis which has meant that many of us are having to travel further, to work longer for less reward.

To remedy this, millions of people around the world love to step away from the computer and get some fresh air in the great outdoors.

Outdoor pursuits are one of life’s greatest pleasures. There is simply nothing better than enjoying the elements and the wilderness with family, friends, or even alone. Walking, kayaking, hiking, running, there are many great activities that you can participate in to gain a greater appreciation of nature and your surroundings.

What is important, however is that you are wearing the right clothing. Nature and the weather can sometimes be very unpredictable so making sure you have on the appropriate clothing is essential in ensuring that you will remain safe and warm throughout your pursuits and in the event of an emergency.

Among the essential items of outdoor clothing that one should always consider are fleece trousers. These are great because they allow unrestricted lower body movement whilst being substantial enough to provide warmth. This makes them ideal for all manner of strenuous outdoor activities where one needs to be able to manoeuvre freely.

Fleece trousers are generally very lightweight which also makes them comfortable to wear. Whereas the word fleece once pertained to garments that were made from sheep’s wool, these days fleece tends to be composed of a significant percentage of synthetic material which means they have a greater resistance to water. Ultimately, this ensures that should you fall in a river or get caught in a downpour, the fleece will remain dry for longer than organic, sheep’s wool fleece would. In turn, this helps the user to remain warm by retaining vital body heat and also doesn’t add to the weight of the garment which would mean greater energy expulsion due to the increased effort it would take to move.

If you are planning to spend any time at all in the great outdoors this fall, be sure to get some fleece trousers.
