Region is most commonly a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics. As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography.

In the fields of physical geography, ecology, biogeography, zoogeography, and environmental geography, regions tend to be based on natural features such as ecosystems or biotopes, biomes, drainage basins, mountain ranges, soil types.

How hard is it to get hired in regional airlines?
Q. I'm just curious. Is it hard to get in to regional airlines as pilot? Or is it easy, like everyone can do it? Is the competition really hard among candidates who want to be a pilot in regional airlines? Or very easy??? I'm talking about recently. Please answer if you were once hired from regional airlines Thanks. I am not asking about right now. I am saying "when economy is NOT BAD"

A. Right now, any airline is tough to get into. Airlines laid off thousands of pilots within the past month or two because of the economy. Whether it's regional or not, you're going to have a hard time probably for the next 1, maybe 2 or 3 years, until the economy gets better. Lets hope gas prices don't go up again, because that would cause even more lay offs and turmoil.

How to play a DVD with a different regional code?
Q. I was given a DVD as a gift from a friend in Italy. However the encoding doesn't allow it to play on my DVD player. Any suggestions? Is it possible to play it on the computer? I haven't had much success with that yet either, but then, I usually don't watch things on the computer, so that could just be me. What should I do? The film is not available in US format yet, so I can't just buy a copy with the right regional code.
Asked by LaSperanza - Sat Jul 21 01:50:06 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have a friend in Sweden aswell who sent me a DVD, And I know Cyberlink PowerDVD playes PAL disks (that would be the encoding they use over there, We use NTSC). As for DVD players that play PAL DVD's I dont know much about, but I know she could play NTSC discs in hers, so there has to be dual capable ones. Oh and although this would sort of difficult but you could try hooking you PC up to your TV if its the screen size that bothers you. Just something to look into... cheers
