Back in college when I designed ads for the school newspaper, I would be asked to gather logos for placement. My account person would ask the company to send up their logo to put into their ad space.
When it showed up on my desk or in my email, most of the time it was very small in size and really blurry. I knew there was no way it was going to even be legible for printing at any size. We spent SO much time going back and forth with clients to get their logo ready for print. Very inefficient!
I've since learned that this is a very common issue that not everyone has learned in school or on the job. Today I'm going to clear everything up for you!
Raster Files
Raster files are made up of pixels (tiny squares assigned a color) that when combined, create a complete image on your screen or printed item. Everything you're seeing on this screen right now is made up of pixels. A file is considered high resolution when there are more pixels that make up the image. Low resolution files are files with less pixels.
When you enlarge a logo that is raster file, it loses all the detailed pixels. This results in a very blurry image that doesn't look that nice to the eye.
For the internet, a raster is necessary. Rastering a logo ensures it gets sized in special way so that it isn't so big that it crashes your browser, yet still has a clean look to it. But you should never pull a logo off the internet and print it professionally. I promise you it will print fuzzy every single time.
Rastering is necessary for the web, but what's the best solution for printing your logo?
Ta-da! Vector art!
Vector Files
Vector files include some magic math equations that result in smooth lines of color for your art. It can be scaled from a large size like a billboard to a small size like a pencil eraser. No pixels are visible.
They are high resolution no matter how big or how small they are sized.
They are also typically editable, so you can send them to your sign printer and they can change the color of something (example: from black to white) before hitting print.
This is the type of file I create for all of my clients using Adobe Illustrator from concept to completion for all logo design art.
A few important notes:
A vector can be made into a raster, but not the other way around.
Photographs are not vector graphics. Only illustrations that are made to look like photographs can be created in a vector work space.
For your reference, I've created a free download of these file extensions. Click the image below to get this FREE pdf:
So what do you get from me upon completion of your logo design art?
- Vector logo file types in color, black, and white (mostly for printing purposes)
File extensions: .eps, .pdf
- Raster logo file types in color, black, and white (for web use)
File extensions: .jpg, .png
I make sure my clients are completely covered with BOTH file types, so no matter where they're sharing their logo, they'll reap the full benefits!

In North Carolina, there are only four acceptable forms of identification you can use to buy alcoholic beverages:
1. Current driver's license from North Carolina or other states. Currently, when drivers renew their driver's license in our state, the NC Division of Motor Vehicles provides a paper 20 day driving certificate and then mails the permanent photo ID/driver's license to the driver. Drivers are allowed to keep their old license until the renewed license is mailed to them. The temporary, 20 day paper license is considered a valid driver's license, but the customer should also show their expired license along with the paper certificate when asked for identification.
2. U.S. Military Identification. These identifications are green and white with a photograph of the individual and physical description.
3. North Carolina Identification Card. An official State of North Carolina Special Identification (ID) card that has a photograph issued to a person who does not drive. Identification cards from other states are not accepted.
4. Official passport issued by any nation. Passports may be in the booklet or card form. Official forms of identification include a photograph, date of birth and written or electronic signature.

Two sides to the coin. I agree that the SBA underwriting standards are much more lenient than free market lending. That results in higher rate of default. However, SBA lending stimulates and facilitates small business owners with a plan. This creates employment (notwithstanding jobs lost when businesses fail), and supports commercial real estate values and local economic activity (all good!) 51% owner-occupancy requirements prevent investor abuse. While the article seems to decry the use of SBA funds by wealthy business owners, SBA loans always require a Personal Guaranty --- so wealthy business owners help the risk pool.

FIFA World Cup Play-off: Nigeria v Ethiopia
Nigeria will be looking to seal their place at next year's FIFA World Cup when they entertain Ethiopia on Saturday.
The Africa Cup of Nations holders are within touching distance of Brazil 2014 after Emmanuel Emenike's double gave them a 2-1 win in the first leg of their play-off tie at the Addis Ababa Stadium on October 13.
Behailu Assefa had given Ethiopia the lead in that game with his first international goal, but Fenerbahce forward Emenike bagged a brace inside the last 25 minutes - including a last-minute penalty - to put Nigeria firmly in control.
However, despite Stephen Keshi's side being in a commanding position heading into the second leg in Calabar, Emenike is anticipating a difficult match.
"The game in Calabar will be tougher for us than the one in Addis Ababa. We have to be careful and get ready for another big business in Calabar," he told FIFA.com.
"Ethiopia are very good and they will be coming here with more tricks. So, we shouldn't see the first victory as the end of road."
The hosts will be without injured pair Nosa Igiebor and Uche Nwofor, but Kenneth Omeruo, Reuben Gabriel and Bright Dike have all been called up by Keshi.
Ethiopia, meanwhile, will welcome back star striker Getaneh Kebede, who has scored four goals in qualifying so far.
The 21-year-old missed the first leg due to a knee injury but his return is sure to be welcomed by Ethiopia boss Sewnet Bishaw.

Depending on the Constitution
There are a lot of issue that nobody really thinks about too heavily anymore that are not talked about in the American zeitgeist. Or rather, they are talked about, but they are not given the attention that they deserve because people want to make the problem simpler, and what's more, they want to make the problem go away. They don't want to think too heavily about it, because they don't want to admit that there is a problem. That part of the issue makes sense to me. The world is a hopelessly complicated place. Everybody wants everything to be simpler. Look at organized religion, and tell me I'm wrong. But the fact is that things aren't simple. Things are actually very complicated, and there is a problem with that.
My friend, and fellow political person, John Aronno, once said that there was a time in this country (the 90's. I know, ancient history) when things that actually matter could be talked about in government. You could talk about gay marriage, gun legislation, legalizing pot. You could talk about these things. But John also pointed out how the new strategy of the conservative party (the Republicans) in this country is to bring legislation to the table that is so unbelievably insane that the liberal community is constantly forced to fight back to keep the insane from being turned into law (I'm talking to you, South Dakota, with your proposed legislation to kill abortion providers!).
The reason that I bring this up is because there is an argument that is used in this country that is horribly used. The fact is that it has been used too often. The argument is the one that "it's in the Constitution, therefore, it is absolutely correct." A lot of people are not going to like this reporter, but the fact is that this needs to be talked about. The fact is that the Constitution is not a complete infallible work of genius that isn't open to interpretation.
Ex-governor Jesse Ventura once said, when he was asked on Joy Behar's show on CNN, "…the Constitution says they can do it, it ends there!" This is a huge logical fallacy. This is a really ugly logical fallacy that people need to start understanding why it is so ugly, instead of just burying their head in the sand and saying "la-la-la, I can't hear you! The Constitution is backing me up, so I can't hear you!"
See the above image, that is the way the people who only want to view the Constitution as never needing to be examined tend to view life. This issue came up again after the shooting of Gabby Giffords. She was gunned down by a crazed man who had an extended magazine and not only did he nearly kill the congresswoman, he killed a judge, and a small child. I love the quote that Lawrence O'Donnell had, "I blame the individual for the first ten bullets. I blame the law for the next 21."
After her shooting, the NRA quickly got up in arms about how there should be not talk of gun legislation in the wake of that event. There was a lot of chest-thumping and things to be said from people like "the Constitution gives us the right to bear arms!" There have been a ton of signs about that with the bigoted Tea Party protests. Joyce Kaufman, said once, "I am convinced that the most important thing the Founding Fathers did to ensure me First Amendment rights was they gave me a Second Amendment." The hopeless ignorance in that is overwhelming. Of course, she subsequently said, "if ballots won't work, bullets will." (what a great way to encourage democracy, talk about killing people)
The Constitution of the United States of America is not a perfect document, ladies and gentlemen. It is far from a perfect document. People who want to believe it as infallible are people who are just looking to be used. Granted, it is an amazing document. You couldn't get all the people in our government right now to be able to create a document like it. But the problem is that it isn't a perfect document.
Let's examine the Second Amendment, for a moment. If I were to interpret the Second Amendment loosely enough, I should be able to own an ICBM on my property, if I can afford it (an ICBM is an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile, for those of you who don't know). I have the right to bear arms. So, I should be able to have that. And let's also examine this- do you know what arms was back in the days of the Founding Fathers? Arms in those days was a musket that had no range, barely any accuracy. It was a hopelessly cumbersome weapon that anybody could have, but few could make very useful.
The Founding Fathers had no idea what a weapon was. They had no idea what today's firearms look like! They wouldn't know what to do with a concept of a 30-round magazine! The fact is that the Constitution suffers from something that many films suffer from- age.
Let's look at a different law. It used to be, back when there was still slavery in this country, that a slave counted as 3/5 of a person. That's right, black Americans, you used to be regarded as 3/5 of a person, once upon a time. Can you imagine if somebody tried to propose something like that today?! There would be all manners of chaos breaking out in the street! It would be insanity of the worst kind!
So, when you are defending a position, like building an Islamic community center in New York City near the site of Ground Zero, or when you are going to talk about keeping extended magazines on the shelves and have it be 17 cents to kill a politician in this country, don't use the Constitution as your own defense of your position. The fact is that that is ignorance. It is not having to think too deeply and not having to defend yourself too vigorously, while you pretend to be knowledgable about something. That kind of thinking is not good, for either the liberals or the conservatives.
Peace out,

Members' Circle = $100 – $249
Scholars' Circle = $250 – $499

Most annual donors to the Libraries give unrestricted gifts. These gifts are pooled together to provide resources for the Library Society of UT Knoxville. Society funds are used to support the group's events, to sponsor Library events, and to purchase an annual gift for the Libraries. This annual gift may be a collection, support for a renovation, seed money for a new Library service, etc. The Library Society of UT Knoxville has an annual event to celebrate the gift purchased with the membership funds.
Major Gifts
The Libraries consider lifetime gifts of $25,000 or more to be major gifts.

Legacy Gifts

Advisory Board
The Library Society of UT Knoxville is guided by an Advisory Board of fifteen to twenty members who serve as a chief volunteer and advocacy group providing leadership in consultation with the Dean of Libraries and the library's Director of Development.
The Advisory Board meets four times each year. Officers are the Chair and the Vice-Chair, selected by the Dean and Director of Development from among the members of the Board for two-year terms. The Vice-Chair automatically becomes Chair after serving a term as Vice-Chair.
The Director of Development and the Chair of the Advisory Board appoint members, in consultation with the Dean of Libraries, to serve three-year terms. The year begins with the fall term at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Approximately one-third of Board members are appointed each year.

Advisory Board members provide human and financial resources to support the mission and vision of the University of Tennessee Libraries by:

- Disseminating information about the quality of UT Libraries programs and services, and ways they can be sustained and improved, especially by contact with those beyond the immediate university community;
- Encouraging all, especially alumni and friends, to donate their time, talent, and fiscal and other resources (e.g. library and archival materials that meet collection criteria) to support programs and services provided by the UT Libraries; and,
- Advising the dean on emerging issues, opportunities, and priorities for action.
Sustainability and growth of the Library Society of UT Knoxville lie in supportive relationships borne and forged among members. One of the most meaningful responsibilities of the Advisory Board is to find new members.

Heart Shaped Pretzel Bites with Cinnamon Nutella Glaze
Easy 30-minute soft pretzels with a 3-ingredient cinnamon-Nutella glaze. Perfect treat for date night, or any night!
Hello friends! Now that the
football season finale Super Bowl is over, everyone is heading full swing into Valentines Day. Of course, I've been in the V-Day state of mind since New Years (In case you couldn't tell).
I've always had a love- hate relationship with Valentines Day. On the once hand, I'm like "ugh, stupid made up consumerist holiday," but on the other hand… "hearts and chocolate and flowers and love and PINK OMG." I just can't decide if I like it or not.
But you know what I do know I like? Food that Boyfriend and I both love. His favorite food is pretzels, and I've had a love affair with Nutella since I first had it five years ago. I used Sally's recipe for soft pretzels and turned them into bites. It only takes 30 minutes and five ingredients to make these pretzels! I attempted to make them heart-shaped, but they didn't quite hold their shape after baking. Here's a visual of what I did if you want to make them heart shaped as well.
(Pardon the horrible lighting, these photos were taken at 10:00PM.)
The glaze is SO SO easy to make and so, so good. All you do is whisk together Nutella, cinnamon, and milk. I used 2% cows milk, but you may use whatever milk you prefer. I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, so I kept the cinnamon to only one teaspoon. If you're a cinnamon lover, you may want to add more.
I'm not including the recipe for the pretzel bites, because a) it's not my recipe, and b) I've posted about it before. You may use whatever pretzel recipe you know and love, but I highly encourage making this glaze- it's easy and perfect for date night, or any night.
- 1 recipe for pretzels
- ½ cup Nutella
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Make pretzel recipe according to directions. Instead of forming into pretzels, simply cut into bites.
- Whisk together Nutella, cinnamon, and milk until smooth.
- Serve!
Glaze can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated.

THIS IS THE BEST. I already tweeted this earlier but I have to leave a comment as well because I love this idea so much!

Specifically built for the purposes of professional applications, workstation systems are perfect for designers, creators and professional users in need of a high-performance system where the rigorous demands of 3D rendering, animation, video editing, and simulation-based tasks demand the highest level of performance within computer hardware.
Featuring a custom implementation of the build process and extensive testing, each workstation system carries an incredible level of efficiency, balance and reliability, so that every type of user is guaranteed a stable and consistent experience during long hours of operation. Thanks to the custom CPU cooling, graphics card configurations, as well as the choice of PC chassis, users can take advantage of lightning-fast performance without having to tolerate high levels of system audibility.
Ryzen 1800X Pro
Taking full advantage of AMD's latest Ryzen 1800X CPU, the incredible level of performance that's delivered from this system comes from an 8 core/16 thread CPU design, meaning applications which benefits from multi-core performance are provided with more than enough power. This insanely fast CPU carries a clock speed of 4.0GHz with a Corsair Hydro series H75 liquid cooler maintaining excellent thermal control. Paired with 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 2666MHz DDR4 RAM, system stability remains at an all time high, with reliability and consistency for every application during extensive duration of usage.
This gains further benefits from the Samsung 256GB Polaris NVMe SSD, which allows for high responsiveness and excellent load times of applications. Where graphically demanding applications require paired performance from both the CPU and GPU, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti features incredibly fast CUDA cores for rendering and editing, along with 4GB of GDDR5 RAM for storing large amounts of data. As workstation systems carry an intensely high level of performance, silence is also of high priority, taken care of by the Game Max Silent chassis.
Mayhem S Pro
Featuring the Intel Core i7-7820X CPU, with a Corsair H100i V2 liquid cooler, the 8 core/16 thread design of this chip remains cool and reliable when running at an incredibly fast 4.3GHz. With this level of insanely fast processing speed and quad-channel DDR4 support, which allows for 128GB of maximum RAM, advanced software technologies such as Intel Optane and Turbo Boost Max means users can gain an additional level of performance for supported applications.
With an Asus X299-Deluxe motherboard bridging this powerful CPU with the incredibly fast high-end Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti graphics card, applications within 3D rendering, video editing, animation and CPU-intensive tasks which are able to use GPU CUDA cores for enhanced performance will see significant benefits. This is further improved with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz DDR4 RAM and a Samsung 500GB SSD, paired with X2 2TB hard drives. This allows for substantially fast system performance and consistent stability while multi-tasking. This system is kept silent by the BeQuiet Dark Base 900 PC chassis.
Mayhem R Pro
Featuring AMD's fastest range of processors within the Ryzen Threadripper line-up, the 1920X has been built with 12 cores and 24 threads, allowing for an insane level of CPU performance where applications can take full advantage of multi-threaded processors for an incredibly level of performance where multi-tasking and CPU intense applications require the most amount of performance at the highest possible clock speed. This is clocked at 4.0GHz and cooled by a Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 liquid cooler, meaning clock speeds remain stable for long hours of use, without having to make sacrifices in applications or system stability.
Taking full advantage of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti graphics card, the system remains at full performance without any issues of slow-downs, inconsistency, and crashes, with data transfer speeds being pushed to the fastest speeds. This is primarily due to the Samsung 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD which operates at faster speeds than a standard SSD, while also providing incredible amounts of storage thanks to the 4TB hard drive which has been designed for high performance and security. As this system features 16GB of DDR4 RAM, the Asus Prime X399-A motherboard allows for outstanding choices for expandability with additional drives and graphics cards.

Roberto Mancini's side are seeking FA Cup success for the second time in three years after beating their opponents 1-0 in the 2011 final.
James Milner: "It should be a really good old fashioned FA Cup tie but we're confident, going there on the back of five straight wins.
"The Britannia Stadium is not the easiest of venues to go to but if we can quiet the home crowd early on then so much the better.
"The fact that we're taking more than 4,000 fans is really important because the Stoke fans make a lot of noise, but our supporters are brilliant and will give as good as they get when it comes to creating an atmosphere."
Stoke manager Tony Pulis. "We have to play to our maximum, and the crowd have to be at their maximum, for us to get a result on Saturday."

Time Bomb
It's called "Time Bomb" and is basically a simple "beat the clock" dexterity game. You are presented with a time bomb and need to use your assortment of tools to deactivate it. Use a screwdriver to remove the access panel, then a probe to listen for the armed wires, and finally cut the proper wires to complete the job.
The bomb settings are all customizable and the top ten times for each bomb type are saved.
You can read more about it (and watch a really rough video demo) at the official web site TimeBombGame.com.
This concludes this commercial interruption of my normal blog service. Thanks for reading!

Holy smokes Chris! That's a crazy time! I thought my score of 16 seconds was good.
The next update (working on it right now) will allow you to email your scores to your friends and it will automatically insert the score into their copy of the game (assuming they accept your challenge and the score is a high score on their copy of the game).
And, yes, there will be safeguards to prevent someone from faking a high score. The scores will have an official game signature that someone can't duplicate.

Sounds good. Dano said he beat my time, but I'm not sure he's telling the truth, as he hasn't showed me his iPod. You've created a very addicting game!

Can anyone give me any reviews or info on Black Girls in the area?
Can anyone give me any reviews or info on Black Girls in the area?
I've had some terrific experiences with Nia. Very GFE and very accomodating. She grooves on DATY!! YMMV? She has an ad on www.vancouverxxxdirect.com. She used to have her own site www.naughtynia.com but it seems to be down. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any other reviews. I once saw SavannaXXX but she didn't even come close to resembling her pics. Much much bigger and she insisted on keeping the room very very dark. Not a repeat.
There is Nevada Brown on Urban Nights, Sahara on HN, and another girl Naomi on Escorts Canada but I haven't tried them out.
I used to regular an SW around Victoria drive named Janice but she moves between here, Calgary and Kewlona. She has attitude--being a Jamaica girl and all-- but once you get past the negotiations I've had some downright nasty times. Best butt I've seen in years and she loves it to be kissed!!!
Have you tried Donna Day from Escorts-Canada? She also works for Scarlett's House under the name Geri. You can see her pics from Scarlett's House.
She's 5'9" and has an enhanced bust. $500 for 2 hours on an outcall, and she only does outcalls when she works for herself. Waist? It's pretty darn tiny, might be a 24" but she is trying to make it slimmer.
Anyways her enthic background is from the island of Barbados.
Blah :-)
Blah :-)
I picked Janice up once a long time ago -the girl was clearly high as a kite on top of that some black guy was following us!!She said she did'nt know him, but the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth so I dropped her back off.Later I talked with some of the regular girls I knew and they told me she's a crackhead and that was her pimp.Not my scene-just thought I'd give you guys the heads up !!
A distinct lack of quality black girls - had a fav in Metrotown area a few years back but she moved off to Seattle. I love the ethnic thrill, the variety, but its hard to find.
There is a new girl at E&R in victoria - black girl. Ebony i think it was. I didnt see her but probably would a the weekend. Ill let you know whats up with her.
Don't have experience with her, but Victoria's Eden (located in duh - Victoria, hehe), has a girl named Jada. Her pics are up at:
Just to let you guys know that we have a hotter than hot Black Beauty here with us at Island Beauties (Victoria). De'ja is absolutely stunning; stands 5'9, measures a very sexy 34D-24-34. Beautiful dark skin, dark eyes, and goregous, curly hair. She will take your breath away!!!
donna xoxo
Deja here...have moved to Victorias Eden...looking forward to meeting everyone...who likes...Brown Sugar...

[Risks No. 211-218] Here's the final entry in the #AwkwardAwesome series (credits to my pal Andy Reale for coining the phrase).
No. 10 – Monday morning we met friends at a local diner. The owner, Dan, was a believer and all around passionate guy. We prayed for and encouraged the ministry God had called him into. I saw him opening up more diners and asked if that made sense. It did, he had been considering a diner long closed down in another section of town.
No. 11 – Judy was our diner waitress and was equal parts sweet and sassy; welcome to the Northeast! God gave me a word about her left hip and knee. I was so encouraged when I found that I was right (she also had screws/plate in her rt. foot). I prayed for her and told her to give it a little time. On the way out I asked her how she was feeling. She was genuinely shocked as she informed me her hip felt completely better and her foot was mostly better. I prayed for her foot a second time and was able to encourage her about how much Jesus loves her. She said she's already been talking to Dan about Jesus. Praise God!
No. 12 – Caroline sat directly across from me in the Diner. I felt God's compassion for her and when she got up to leave I quickly followed her out and told her that God wanted to remind her about how He felt for her. I was able to pray for her, and God gave me a word about her back, which He kindly restored.
No. 13 – Sonya was one of our airline stewardesses and I was way off base on a word about her neck and shoulders. I was still able to pray a blessing over her despite being wrong.
No. 14 – Renee was another stewardess. God gave me a picture of her delivering balloons to children and that she had a sweet gift of generosity. Before I shared I told Renee that God had given me a picture. Her immediate response was, "UH OH!" Amazing how many people know God for his judgement first and not for his mercy.
No. 15 – While seated towards the back of the airplane, I wanted nothing more than to close my eyes, nap, listen to worship music, and maybe read a book. Before boarding my eyes had been drawn to a young man with an orange shirt. This same young man sat down in the isle across from me, and to my surprise, no one took the isle or middle seats next to me. Before taking off I felt God give me a strong impression that this young man was facing a brick wall of a challenge and that God wanted to remind him that he would get over it. Though tired and not really wanting to talk, God gently pushed me. I relocated to the isle seat (he was in the opposite isle). I introduced myself and shared that I was a Christian and that God had given me a word for him. I shared and he instantly acknowledged the relevance of the word. Maurice and I ended up talking for nearly 2 hours. Turns out he was a youth pastor studying to become a pastor. His father had passed away back in November and he's been struggling to stay on course for his graduation this July. The Lord used Maurice to wonderfully encourage my heart and I believe he used me to do the same for him. So crazy how one minute you can be perfect strangers and the next you feel like long-lost pals reunited. The kingdom of heaven is a beautiful community!
No. 16 – Maurice and I landed in Nashville and began walking toward baggage claim when I noticed Al and his wife looking at a bright yellow Harley Davidson. Al was in a wheelchair. I told Maurice that we should see if they would allow us to pray for them. We approached and I commented about how shiny the bike was. They agreed! I asked Al if he was in pain and he joked about how his wife was a pain in his rear. I asked if we could pray for him and he agreed. It was beautiful. I held his hand and Maurice laid hands on his shoulders. We prayed, commanding his body to become normal and welcome God's presence to minister to both of them. I was in a hurry and didn't have him test his body out, but I knew that I knew God had heard us. The couple thanked us for stopping and caring.
No. 17 – I arrived home to my family (such a sweet blessing). I took them out to our favorite local pizza joint and Ashley was our server. Initially I wasn't receiving any kind of anything for her. Towards the end of our time I thought I was receiving a fuzzy message about her studying overseas. I was way off. Nor did she have pain in her right wrist. Nor did she "need" prayer for anything. It was almost funny. I had just experienced God's presence so strongly in the Northeast and the first encounter back home was about as awkward as they come. I love you, Jesus. Please draw Ashley closer to you and thank you for her!

Sunday, January 29, 2012
#126. Robert The Bruce, 81-83 Buccleuch St, Dumfries
Another J.D. Wetherspoon pub, the building is certainly impressive.
Inside, the taps featured the awesome Traditional Scottish Ales Brewing Co. of Stirling. I had the opportunity to try their Double Espresso Wild Oatmeal Stout, and it was the closest thing to a perfect marriage of my two favourite beverages that one is likely to find in a beer. It was like a delicious bowl of porridge covered in brown sugar and washed down with a strong cup of joe.

Statistics Canada confirmed on Thursday that Alberta climbed out of the depths of the recession in 2017 with positive economic growth across the province.
And Alberta had the fastest growing economy in the country.
The federal agency reported that real gross domestic product (GDP) in Alberta rose 4.4 per cent in 2017, following declines in 2015 (-3.7 per cent) and 2016 (-4.2 per cent) in the wake of falling oil prices.
"Exports led the rise in GDP, increasing 8.4 per cent as higher oil prices spurred oil and gas extraction and production in 2017. Household spending rose 3.2 per cent, with higher outlays for both goods (+3.8 per cent) and services (+2.8 per cent)," it said.
Alberta's economy took a downward slide in 2015 and 2016 after oil prices collapsed in the latter half of 2014, which triggered an economic slowdown across the province and the layoffs of thousands of people.
For the first time since 2010, real gross domestic product rose in every province and territory in 2017. Ontario and Quebec, Canada's largest provincial economies, both grew 2.8 per cent. Canada's real GDP rose 3.0 per cent in 2017, following a 1.1 per cent increase in 2016. Final domestic demand rose 3.1 per cent, the fastest pace since 2010, explained Statistics Canada.
"For Canada as a whole, growth in 2017 was primarily driven by a 3.6 per cent rise in household spending, the fastest rate of growth since 2010. Gross fixed capital formation rebounded 3.0 per cent, following a 4.3 per cent decline in 2016. Exports of goods and services to other countries rose 1.1 per cent, while imports increased 4.2 per cent," it said.
"Spending on durable goods – notably, purchases of motor vehicles and furniture – was up 7.1 per cent in 2017, almost double the growth in the previous year and the highest pace since 2002. Ontario led the growth in outlays for durable goods (+8.4 per cent), followed by British Columbia (+8.3 per cent). Spending on services was also strong in British Columbia (+4.1 per cent) and in Quebec (+3.4 per cent). Newfoundland and Labrador had the lowest growth in household spending on both goods (+0.4 per cent) and services (+1.0 per cent)."

I love that you just went to Colorado for the weekend! Caleb loves Colorado/makes it no secret that he wants to live there one day. I have only been there once but I have to say it was pretty spectacular. We stayed in this huge house in the mountains overlooking Breckenridge and spent our days eating and relaxing and our nights in the hot tub under the huge Colorado sky.ReplyDelete
As usual, sounds like a perfect way to spend the weekend!ReplyDelete

Rwanda Healthcare: Use of web based system in Laboratory
Rwanda is one of the developing countries in Africa, and now it is growing faster in different sectors. Information communication technology (ICT) is one of the main pillars which have contributed to the development in different sectors in Rwanda without forgetting the healthcare sector. Rwanda Healthcare Pathway The healthcare sector is managed under the ministry of health (MOH).
The health care system is structured as follows. The gateway to healthcare in Rwanda is through the health centers and/or posts de santé, district hospitals. In addition, referrals comes from private clinics and hospitals Issues in Rwanda healthcare Since 1994, there has been a remarkable change and improvement in the use technology in Rwanda healthcare system. For instance, Kigali University Teaching Hospital (KUTH) or Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kigali (CHUK) is one of the referral hospitals located in capital city of Kigali.
It treats around 7000 and 1000 patients per month. A developing country like Rwanda, could not deliver a good service to all of these patients as it is done today at this level without technology like web-based platform like "Open clinic" which is used in Laboratory at KUTH to provide timely good service to patients. Before the introduction of a web based system at KUTH laboratory, it was very difficult to manage patients' pathological results. It used to take time, materials, and money for both employees and patients, even sometimes loss of information.
The laboratory staff used paper registers to record test results of every patient. Lot of papers to provide results to clinicians in different wards and it was very difficult for clinicians to come every time to check and pick results when it's ready. Sometime results were misplaced by couriers, lost at the place and no facility to retrieve them easily
Use of Technology in Rwanda healthcare
The introduction of web based system (Open clinic) at KUTH laboratory has been a key success to the delivery of good laboratory service. The turnaround time has reduced a lot, compare with the non-web based system. Clinicians are no longer running to the Lab to look for test results for their patients, they can retrieve it easily. They are able to keep records of their patients and manage bill payment with ease. Reporting on all laboratory activities, statistics and research can be done easily due to facility of information technology (IT) because all data is on finger tips (within open clinic). There has been an improvement in the quality of service delivery. It has moved from below 50% to 90% within a short period
Rwanda healthcare Challenge
The remaining challenge is currently around the interface with other the systems and all the automated machines to continue the reduction in turnaround time and cost of papers.

Gameover Zeus botnet reanimated, exposing the harm in "open" Android, Windows malware platformsApple's iOS and OS X platforms aren't directly affected by the rampant malware infestations that plague Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows, but that doesn't mean they can't be victimized by it, as the collateral damage and smokescreen of a reanimated botnet targeting unpatched, vulnerable systems demonstrates.
A report by John Biggs of TechCrunch details how a massive Windows botnet, despite having been taken down by authorities last month, has been reused by thieves to create a distracting smokescreen that's being used to block fraud victims from accessing their own accounts while they are being hacked.
The "openness" of insecure platforms including Windows and Android (which now accommodates 99 percent of all mobile malware) are resulting in mass infections among large volumes of lower-end devices that are unlikely to ever receive security updates.
No updates are bad, m'kay?
Last July, a U.S. Government report titled "Threats to Mobile Devices Using the Android OS" warned that Android "continues to be a primary target for malware attacks due to its market share and open source architecture," and stated that this "makes it more important than ever to keep mobile OS patched and up-to-date."
A year later, Google still reports that more than 53.4 percent of active Android users accessing Google Play are still using an "Ice Cream Sandwich," "Gingerbread" or other editions of Android prior to 4.2 that still "have a number of security vulnerabilities that were fixed in later versions."
One specific Android WebView vulnerability was recently detailed by Dan Goodin of Ars Technica. While Google patched that particular flaw in Android 4.2, according to Google's published figures for its Play Store active user base, only 46.6 percent have installed that fix as of this week. Outside of Google's own apps ecosystem, the flaw is even more widespread.
Compromised PC and Droid users are frequently not even aware that their devices are being used to do things that hurt others, including distributed Denial of Service attacks that provide cover for other, more targeted online attacks. Further, the damage resulting from those botnets can also be used to attack and disrupt users on secured platforms.
Increasingly sophisticated attacks start on insecure platforms
The ZeuS botnet, a network of infected Windows machines believed to include 3.6 million PCs in the U.S. alone, was publicly targeted by the FBI in 2010. Back then, the trojan malware was used to secretly capture users' credentials which its operators then used to access and rob the victim's bank accounts.
In 2013, Wired reported that 24 year old Algerian Hamza Bendelladj, the man believed to be the mastermind behind both the EyeSpy and ZeuS mass infections of malicious software, was arrested and his malware networks were taken down.
However, ZeuS components later reappeared in a new form as "Gameover Zeus" with enhanced, encrypted peer to peer communications designed to make the infection harder to track.
In June the U.S. Department of Justice announced that a global collaboration of law enforcement agencies had broken the centralized control the infection as part of an operation that "disrupted a global botnet that had stolen millions from businesses and consumers as well as a complex ransomware scheme that secretly encrypted hard drives and then demanded payments for giving users access to their own files and data."
The Justice Department's Criminal Division Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell stated at the time that "these schemes were highly sophisticated and immensely lucrative, and the cyber criminals did not make them easy to reach or disrupt."
The investigation charged 30 year old Russian Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev and identified him as "as a leader of a tightly knit gang of cyber criminals based in Russia and Ukraine."
Unpatched users of insecure platforms enable botnet resurrection
However, a month after taking the Gameover Zeus botnet down it has now reappeared in email spam distributions identified by Malcovery Security as phony messages asking users to install "securedoc.html" to enable secure banking communications.
"In the original GameOver Zeus, the domain generation algorithm and its associated command and control resources serves the botnet as a fallback to the peer-to-peer botnet which serves as this malware's primary means of distributing instructions to infected machines," the site explained.
"Using the websites associated with the domain generation algorithm the GameOver botnet operators may distribute commands to infected machines with which the peer-to-peer botnet has lost contact," it added, noting that "the binary that is dropped and injected into Internet Explorer after contacting the C&C is randomly named" to make it harder to identify.
Malcovery added that it had identified "a number of the command-and-control hosts believed to be involved in this attempt to revive the GameOver botnet. Following contact with any of these hosts, the malware began to exhibit behaviors characteristic of the GameOver trojan--including the characteristic list of URLs and URL substrings targeted by the malware for Web injects, form-grabs, and other information stealing capabilities."
Apple's tight security ship
Apple has made security a key selling point of its OS X and iOS platforms, including app signatures and other security measures in the initial design of the App Store at its birth six years ago this month.
Across 75 billion app downloads, Apple has been able to address and patch security vulnerabilities on an unprecedented scale and speed. Following the delivery of iOS 7 last fall, the company now notes that as of June, 89 percent of its users have installed it. In the months since, Apple has acted to quickly release interim patches for discovered vulnerabilities, including an SSL verification flaw that Apple addressed in a 7.0.6 update it then deployed before most users were even aware of the issue.
By the time Reuters reporter Joseph Menn could craft a misleading hit piece about the flaw, he had to admit that the fix had already been released by Apple.
Additionally, Apple not only patched the flaw for the 89 percent of users on iOS 7, but also released a parallel iOS 6.1.6 update addressing another 9 percent who haven't or can't upgrade to iOS 7.
At the same time, the far more serious Android flaw Ars described in February can't even be obtained by most Android users affected by it, because Google has refused to patch the older versions of Android those users are stuck on, and neither the manufacturers nor carriers who profit from selling Android devices see any need to make newer, patched versions of Android available to the majority of the Android installed base who can't upgrade.
Microsoft has scrambled over the past fifteen years to secure the hundreds of millions of PCs running Windows, prodded in part by Apple's once incessant Get a Mac ads that pointed out the embarrassing security and privacy issues affecting PCs in contrast to the relatively tranquil security enjoyed by Mac users.
So far, Apple has done very little to advertise its dramatic security advantage over Android with its own iOS devices. Corporations and government agencies are well aware of the issue however, resulting in adoption metrics that indicate Apple has maintained a lead in enterprise mobile devices and has kept a virtual lock on tablets adopted for business use with iPad. Good Technology reported in May that 93 percent of the custom corporate apps deployed by its clients are developed for iOS.

None of the districts in Mae Hong Son, a province in the northern part of Thailand, lie further south than Sop Moei. Not much is known about the early history of this district, which separated from a larger district called Mae Sariang in 1984 and received full district status in 1993.
The small number of tourists who venture into Sop Moei may find little in terms of modern conveniences, but will be greeted by friendly locals whose traditional culture and beautiful mountain surroundings remain very much intact. Most of the slightly more than 35,000 people who live in Sop Moei are Shan or Karen farmers who tend livestock or plant rice, onions, or other crops.
None of Sop Moei's half a dozen sub-districts have a population larger than 10,000 people, and each of these sub-districts have between seven and 12 villages. Sop Moei is bordered by a state of Myanmar called Kayin as well as Chiang Mai province's Hot and Omkoi districts, Mae Hong Son province's Mae Sariang district, and Tak province's Tha Song Yang district. Yuam, Moei, Ngao, and Salween are Sop Moei's most significant rivers. Sop Moei's main road is numbered 105 and travels north to south through the centre of the district.
Sop Moei's main tourist attraction is a national park named Mae Ngao, which can be found approximately 15kms from the middle of the district. A waterfall called O-Lo-Gro and a mountain known as Puilaung are two of Mae Ngao National Park's most outstanding attractions. A village named Mae Sam Laep is a popular departure point for boating excursions to the intersection of the Salween and Moei rivers.
