Hosting providers are often the targets for damaging DDoS attacks, since the number of customers they service and theaggregate Internet peering bandwidth they utilize greatly increases their attack surface. An attack on a single client of the provider— such as a high-traffic gaming service—can create major collateral damage to other hosted customers. These innocent bystanders are placed in the unfortunate situation of suffering from second-hand (damage) because they are hosted on the same shared facilities as the intended victim, and the results can be devastating for both the provider and their customers.
Hosting providers and their customers can experience hours or even days of downtime, and the situation is becoming morechallenging due to the increased accessibility of tools and limitless attacker motivations. The sophistication and sheer brute force of recent attacks suggests an escalation of tactics to new levels of severity. As the size, complexity and regularity of DDoS attacks on hosting providers and their customers continues to increase, providers have to field new plays to mitigate risks and avoid the crippling downtime that comes with being the victim of DDoS attacks.
Few hosting providers today offer sufficient protection from DDoS attacks, so those that can implement robust DDoS attackprotection will be able to more effi ciently protect their hosted infrastructure and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. They'll also be positioned to create incremental revenue streams from high-value, managed DDoS attack protectionservices.

Q: Able to connect to remote PostgreSQL database using psql, but unable to connect using libpq + libpqxx I have a PostgreSQL instance running on Digital Ocean. When using the command line tool psql, I am able to connect to the database fine. I am using the following command:
psql "host=db-postgresql-nyc1-70444-do-user-4921290-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com port=25060 dbname=defaultdb user=doadmin password=MY_PASSWORD sslmode=require"

I have now compiled an executable which makes use of libpq and libpqxx. I have compiled the two libraries using the following arguments (as you can see, ssl is supported).
  # Unix like system
  test -e postgresql-12.2.tar.gz || wget https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v12.2/postgresql-12.2.tar.gz
  test -e postgresql-12.2 || tar -xzvf postgresql-12.2.tar.gz
  cd postgresql-12.2

test -e build_amd64 && rm -rf build_amd64
    mkdir build_amd64
    cd build_amd64
    ../configure --without-readline CFLAGS="-O3 -fpic" CXXFLAGS="-fpic" CPPFLAGS="-fpic" --prefix=$PWD/packaged --with-includes=$(pwd)/../../openssl-OpenSSL_1_1_1k/build_amd64/packaged/include/ --with-openssl --with-libraries=$(pwd)/../../openssl-OpenSSL_1_1_1k/build_amd64/packaged/lib/

    # multithreaded make
    if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]; then
        sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu | xargs -I % make -j%
    elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname -s) 1 5)" == "Linux" ]; then
        nproc | xargs -I % make -j%
    fi

    make install
    ar dv packaged/lib/libpq.a legacy-pqsignal.o

test -e 7.0.7.tar.gz || wget https://github.com/jtv/libpqxx/archive/7.0.7.tar.gz
test -e libpqxx-7.0.7 || tar -xzvf 7.0.7.tar.gz
cd libpqxx-7.0.7

  test -e build_amd64 && rm -rf build_amd64
  mkdir build_amd64
  cd build_amd64

  # Unix like system
  LIBNAME=libpq.so
  if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
    LIBNAME=libpq.dylib
  fi
    cmake -DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=${PWD}/../../postgresql-12.2/build_amd64/packaged/include \
    -DPostgreSQL_LIBRARY=${PWD}/../../postgresql-12.2/build_amd64/packaged/lib/${LIBNAME} \
    -DPostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIR=${PWD}/../../postgresql-12.2/build_amd64/packaged/include \
    -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TEST=OFF  ..

    # multithreaded make
    if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]; then
        sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu | xargs -I % make -j%
    elif [ "$(expr substr $(uname -s) 1 5)" == "Linux" ]; then
        nproc | xargs -I % make -j%
    fi

    make DESTDIR=./packaged install
    # On centos, it is installed to lib64 instead of lib, so create a symbolic link for consistency
    test -e packaged/usr/local/lib || ln -s ./lib64/ ./packaged/usr/local/lib

I then pass the exact same connection string to the pqxx::connection constructor as follows:
m_connectionPtr = std::make_unique<pqxx::connection>("host=db-postgresql-nyc1-70444-do-user-4921290-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com port=25060 dbname=defaultdb user=doadmin password=MY_PASSWORD sslmode=require");

However, doing so spits out the following exception:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'pqxx::broken_connection'
  what():  FATAL:  pg_hba.conf rejects connection for host "181.224.248.206", user "doadmin", database "template1", SSL on

Aborted (core dumped)

For what it's worth, I'm able to connect to a PostgreSQL database using my libpqxx logic above when it is running locally on the same machine. I for the life of my can't seem to connect to a remote database though using libpqxx. Any ideas?
Edit:
I don't have access to the pg_hba.conf on the server since it is a managed database hosted by Digital Ocean. However, on the digital ocean console page, it says that the database is open to connections from all IP Addresses.
Edit 2
I now understand the issue. In my executable, I was first connecting to the template1 database, and then making a query to the database to see if the database name provided by the user existed (with libpqxx you can only make database queries once you have established a db connection, and you require a database name in order to create the connection). This approach was not working with hosted database services such as Digital Ocean as they do not allow you to connect to the template1 database. Once I removed that logic from my code, then I was able to connect directly to the specified database correctly.

A: I know understand what the issue is:

While it's true that diet trends and fads come and go at lightning speed, some diets do strike a cord and go mainstream and that's certainly the case with the keto diet. While it's not a"new" diet, its recently seen a surge in popularity. With keto books flying off store shelves and fans raving about its effectiveness online, it's a diet that's both popular and controversial. If you're considering the keto diet or just want to know a little more about it, we've compiled some helpful tips below.
1. The keto diet is a low carb high fat diet with moderate amounts of protein. The goal is to have the body burn fat (instead of carbs). By eliminating carbohydrates, your body will instead burn stored fat (ketosis). The general diet breakdown is 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates.
2. There are similarities to low carb diets like Atkins, but keto diets are not excessively high protein. Low carb diets like Atkins and South Beach require a higher protein intake.
3. Keto diets aren't easy and the first two weeks especially can be very hard on dieters; with some reporting symptoms including irritability, frustration, bad breath and fatigue (commonly called the "keto flu").
4. Food choices can be restrictive – say goodbye to items like bread and most fruits, but hello to items like cheese and lamb.
5. Aim to drink a lot of water (a gallon a day is popular).
6. Expect to consume a lot of greens. Keto staples include greens like kale, bok choy, watercress and arugula.
7. The majority of people do lose weight on keto diets, sometimes a significant amount. Initially it tends to be water weight, but over time can continue into real weight loss.
8. Alcohol should be avoided while on the keto diet (at least for the first couple of months).
9. You'll need to monitor your food intake closely and track nutritional info. Keep a food journal or join an online community like Sparkpeople.


This article was originally published on January 8, 2018 by Lehigh Valley Business.
A little-known name in the automotive industry, Bethlehem Township-based Orio North America has a lofty mission – to keep Saab cars from going the way of the dinosaur.
It's a mission born in June 2012 when Orio North America opened, about six months after Saab Automobile, a global brand based in Sweden, went out of businesses. Today, Orio North America is the exclusive supplier of Saab original parts for the United States and Canada.
Tim Colbeck, Orio North America president and CEO, said his company's story is rare.
Orio North America is wholly owned by Swedish parent company Orio AB, which is wholly owned by the Swedish government's finance ministry.
That means that Orio North America has sister companies in nine other countries around the world, with the U.S.-based firm covering the largest market, the U.S. and Canada.
Today, largely because of that effort, there are more than 200 Saab service centers in North America.
Thanks to the dealer network that Orio put in place, Saab owners in need of a car repair have an experience much like any other car owner, according to Colbeck.
"They can look up the nearest service center – in the Lehigh Valley it would be Scott Family of Dealerships [in Salisbury Township] – and go there for service," he said.
Scott had a Saab franchise for more than four decades, said David Dumpel, parts director at Scott.
Colbeck said Orio North America also works with independent repair shops that work on Saab cars.
Today, there are still nearly 400,000 Saabs on the road in the U.S.
"It is surprising, since there were predictions about how Saab ownership would decline, but people are holding onto their Saabs," Colbeck said.
The Saab resale market helps maintain the need for repairs.
Robert R. Pandaleon of Allentown, a self-described "Saab convert," bought his first Saab about seven months ago – a 2004 9-3 – after owning a variety of European brands including Volvo, BMW and Porsche.
He said that he had always had an interest in Saab, and that in the mid-1980s he tried to talk his father into buying a 9-3.
Pandaleon said he uses Scott to service his Saab, affectionately dubbed the Guppy.
Colbeck said there is a natural avenue of growth for Orio beyond Saab: supporting other car lines, particularly European vehicles.
"It is a good match and synergy for our customer base," Colbeck said, since the type of customer that owns a Saab is likely to own other European cars.
Plus, mechanics certified to repair Saabs typically specialize in other European makes. This is especially true of independent repair shops, Colbeck said, with Saab and Volvo repairs tending to be done by the same technicians.
As a result, Colbeck said, Orio North America plans to start offering Volvo parts nationwide in the first half this year.
Orio will roll out the new service nationally in much the same way as its existing business model.
The Orio parts warehouse is in Lower Nazareth Township, which means the company can deliver parts overnight by truck from "the tip of Maine down to Virginia and out to Detroit," Colbeck said.

The Crossley ID Guide: Eastern Birds
This stunningly illustrated book from acclaimed birder and photographer Richard Crossley revolutionizes field guide design by providing the first real-life approach to identification. Whether you are a beginner, expert, or anywhere in between, The Crossley ID Guide will vastly improve your ability to identify birds.
Unlike other guides, which provide isolated individual photographs or illustrations, this is the first book to feature large, lifelike scenes for each species. These scenes, 640 in all, are composed from more than 10,000 of the author's images showing birds in a wide range of views, near and far, from different angles, in various plumages and behaviors, including flight, and in the habitat in which they live. These beautiful compositions show how a bird's appearance changes with distance, and give equal emphasis to characteristics experts use to identify birds: size, structure and shape, behavior, probability, and color. This is the first book to convey all of these features visually--in a single image--and to reinforce them with accurate, concise text. Each scene provides a wealth of detailed visual information that invites and rewards careful study, but the most important identification features can be grasped instantly by anyone.
By making identification easier, more accurate, and more fun than ever before, The Crossley ID Guide will completely redefine how its users look at birds. Essential for all birders, it also promises to make new birders of many people who have despaired of using traditional guides.
Revolutionary. This book changes field guide design to make you a better birder
A picture says a thousand words. The most comprehensive guide: 640 stunning scenes created from 10,000 of the author's photographs
Reality birding. Lifelike in-focus scenes show birds in their habitats, from near and far, and in all plumages and behaviors
Teaching and reference. The first book to accurately portray all the key identification characteristics: size, shape, behavior, probability, and color
Practice makes perfect. An interactive learning experience to sharpen and test field identification skills
Bird like the experts. The first book to simplify birding and help you understand how to bird like the best
An interactive website (www.crossleybirds.com) includes expanded captions for the plates and species updates
Richard Crossley is an internationally acclaimed birder and photographer who has been birding since age 7 and who, by age 21, had hitchhiked more than 100,000 miles chasing birds across his native Britain and Europe. His love of the outdoors and his interest in teaching, design, and technology have shaped his unique vision for the future of birding and bird books. He is excited by the prospect of using new technologies to bring 'reality birding' to a wide audience through many different media. He is a spokesperson for Nikon Sports Optics and coauthor of The Shorebird Guide, and lives with his wife and two daughters in Cape May, New Jersey.
'The biggest new entry into the field is The Crossley ID Guide, which has turned the traditional field guide on its ear. Anyone who has birded regularly in Cape May, N.J., has seen Richard Crossley and his giant zoom lens stalking at dawn, dusk and in between. He has, a la Kenn Kaufman, digitally lifted the birds out of those photos and then dropped them--perched, walking, flying, diving, swimming--into a habitat that is one big photographic background, thus creating a picture window onto each species. Simultaneously we see the species up close, far away, in flight, at a feeder, in flocks, sitting, singing. Scale is up for grabs, with some of the birds so small and hidden that you don't see them until a second or third look. But the effect is engaging, exciting and akin to the real experience of birding, where so much happens on the wing, at difficult distance and in odd light.'--Laura Jacobs, Wall Street Journal
'[Richard Crossley] tries to squeeze in as much reality as he can onto every printed page.... Why put such images in an identification guide? Crossley calls it reality birding. He believes that you can become a better birder by studying the distant birds and comparing them to the larger close-up images. By noticing the similarities between the different images, you will learn to focus on the features that remain constant for a particular species. The rationale is compelling, and I think Crossley's approach might actually work.... And, in case you were wondering, I love [this book].'--Michael Szpir, American Scientist
'A major innovation in identification guides in that it is designed to teach you to see differently. If you follow the program, this book will make you a better birder. Following the British practice, the Crossley Guide is intended for study at home--not as a field guide. . . . This is for anyone who wants to improve his or her birding skills.'--Wayne Mones, Audubon blog.

Q: My AdMob ads don't work, and everything seems to be written correctly My ads do not work and I don't know what is the cause of it. In Activity class, it seems to be everything alright. Same thing is with Gradle. Please help. Maybe something is wrong in AdMob Console.
public class RegisterActivity extends BaseActivity implements View.OnClickListener {

    private static final int RC_SIGN_IN = 9001;

TextView logo;

    private InterstitialAd Memead3;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        Memead3.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
        MobileAds.initialize(this, "ca-app-pub-8090166845540486~1312841352");

        if (Memead3.isLoaded()) {
            Memead3.show();
        } else {
            Log.d("TAG", "The interstitial wasn't loaded yet.");
        }

}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

A: From your onCreate method:
Memead3.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
MobileAds.initialize(this, "ca-app-pub-8090166845540486~1312841352");

if (Memead3.isLoaded()) {
    Memead3.show();
}

With this code, you're calling loadAd, and then a millisecond or two later trying to show the ad with isLoaded and show. That's not enough time for the AdMob SDK to download an ad for you, so isLoaded will always return false.
I would move your attempt to call show out of onCreate and into something else, such as a button handler or when the user leaves the activity.
Also, it doesn't look like you're using test ads in this example. You should always use them when developing your app, since testing with live traffic can cause your account to be suspended. See the Test Ads Guide for details on how to use them.

A: Try showing test ads.
Load your ads-integrated app and make an ad request.
Check the logcat output for a message that looks like this:
I/Ads: Use AdRequest.Builder.addTestDevice("33BE2250B43518CCDA7DE426D04EE232")
to get test ads on this device.
* Copy your test device ID to your clipboard.
* Modify your code to call

Then add it to the AdRequest:
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
    .addTestDevice("33BE2250B43518CCDA7DE426D04EE232")
    .build();

A: Call MobileAds .initialize(... before trying to load new ads. Also make sure to check logs like "Failed to load ad : 0",etc

What's really worth watching
Undiscovered songwriters pitch original songs to Kelsea Ballerini and a panel of music producers.
Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler Join "American Idol"
By Bryan Alexander

Receive the latest popcornbiz updates in your inbox
The waiting and speculation is finally over: "American Idol" will feature the global superstar Jennifer Lopez and rocker Steven Tyler in a completely revamped look for the January 2011 season premiere.
It's looking like a recipe for television heaven as these two iconoclastic stars, both primed for controversy in their own way, slide into the judges' seats of one of television's longest-running and most popular prime time shows. Both are well qualified to say what works and what doesn't in the music industry, having sold millions of records.
For the show's 10th season, only veteran Randy Jackson will remain from the existing panel of judges. All three took the stage for the first time in Los Angeles on Wednesday to be introduced by the show's host Ryan Seacreast.
"I'm looking for the next Michael Jackson," a stunning Lopez told an amped-up crowd watching the introduction.
And the New American Idol Judges Are...
It looks as though Tyler, the longtime Aerosmith frontman, will take on the tough acritical mantle passed on by Simon Cowell.
"I've been on tour for most of my life in a band with four guys who judge me every day. Sometimes it hurt, but it only made me stronger," Tyler said in a Fox press release. "I want to give everybody a little love before I decide who goes home heartbroken. If you don't like what I say, don't get mad, get better."
Lopez, who has been the center of breathless reports of diva demands to take the spot, looks to be seeking the "nurturer" position made famous by Paula Abdul.
"For nine years I've enjoyed watching artists compete to get a meaningful chance to achieve their dreams," said Lopez. "I know from my own experience how hard it is to succeed, and I'm looking forward to discovering and nurturing that spirit."
"Idols" with Star Power
As if there wasn't enough music cred on the show, Fox has created an "in-house mentor" to work closely with the contestants on a weekly basis -- music industry legend/producer Jimmy Iovine, the chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M.

How You Can Help Victims of Hurricane Matthew With Marriott
M arriott International, Incorporated will match the contributions of frequent guest loyalty program points through Monday, October 31, 2016 for people adversely affected by Hurricane Matthew; and the announcement was released after the news of similar efforts by United Airlines and American Airlines.
To many people, the storm has left reminders which still exist in the form of extensive damage and lost loved ones. Record storm surges, substantial flooding from torrential rains, and high winds battered many areas from Jamaica to Haiti to Cuba to the Bahamas to the southeastern coast of the United States.
"Our hearts go out to the people and communities that have been impacted by Hurricane Matthew. There were many Marriott properties in the path of storm. Thankfully, we have no reports of guest or associate injuries. While most of our hotels are open, we are assessing the extent of impact on each hotel and efforts are underway to fully restore operations in those properties more significantly affected by the storm. We express our appreciation to associates who have helped coworkers, guests, local authorities and members of their community to weather the storm."
Cancellation fees are generally waived for guests holding confirmed reservations at the hotel and resort properties which have been affected by Hurricane Matthew; but hotel and resort properties reserve the right to decide on a case-by-case basis.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the American Red Cross are supported by Marriott International through annual contributions to support disaster relief. This year these annual grants are being directed to relief efforts pertaining to Hurricane Matthew.
Loyalty Donations Members of our Marriott Rewards, Starwood Preferred Guest and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards frequent guest loyalty programs have the option of donating points for contributions to the American Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies; and those point contributions will be matched by Marriott International, Incorporated.
Restrictions may apply.
If you would like to help people affected by Hurricane Matthew, the following non-profit, non-government organizations are working to provide short-term and long-term support:
American Red Cross — Donations are tax-deductible in the United States
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies — Check with a local tax advisor for applicable rules outside the United States and for other organizations listed
Clean the World — Donations are tax-deductible in the United States
SOS Children's Villages USA — Donations are tax-deductible in the United States
SOS Children's Villages International — Check with a local tax advisor for applicable rules outside the United States and for other organizations listed
UNICEF USA — Donations are tax-deductible in the United States
UNICEF — Check with a local tax advisor for applicable rules outside the United States and for other organizations listed
Unfortunately, no incentive is provided here for you to donate your points from the three frequent guest loyalty programs of Marriott International, Incorporated — except, of course, the altruism which you will feel, knowing that you are doing something good for those who really need it — so unlike the efforts from United Airlines and American Airlines, there are no bonus miles or points involved…
…but then, that is really not the…er…point of giving — right?

...And Yet ANOTHER Free 500 Elevate Miles in Seconds Offer


Pat. my concern with muni ETFs is the average prices per bond are relatively high in our analysis–which have embedded losses as the issues come due–Is this a concern to you? How do you compare YTM on ETFs?
The premium prices for the bonds in the portfolios are the same prices that open-end funds are paying, but the ETF holdings are more transparent so the question may be easier to ask about ETFs.
The decline in the premium is not necessarily a loss in principal because the above-market rate of cash flow is a return of principal, which can then be reinvested earlier than maturity, potentially boosting total return. All other factors being equal, premium bonds are less susceptible to price eroision if rates move higher, so managers (and many investors) prefer premium bonds. Also, bond funds and ETFs are managed to track a benchmark, so holdings are typically sold well before the maturity dates. There is an incentive (and a fiduciary obligation) for the portfolio managers to seek to preserve the principal invested under their care.
Finally, regarding YTM, the calculation assumes holding to maturity with reinvestment of the cash flows–that is a lot to assume for an ETF. So the YTM for an ETF is an important and relevant data point, but should also be considered along with dividend yield (or SEC yield) and duration.

#DEMOAfricaTop30 – Feem WiFi Assures the Ultimate File Transfer Experience
Claude Ayitey 28th August, 2015 ERT 4 minutes, 34 seconds
Among the Top 30 startups for DEMO Africa this year is Feem Wi-fi, a product from the FeePerfect team. Here's a transcript from a conversation with the Team Lead which will help you know more about the product.
What does Feem Wifi do?
We realized a few years ago that the internet is no longer enough. That's why we created Feem Wi-Fi: The Ultimate File Transfer Experience.
Think of Feem as Dropbox without the Internet, or WhatsApp without data.
Feem is the fastest way to transfer files between devices. How fast? Feem is around 50 times faster than Bluetooth and around 5 times faster than Dropbox.
After many years of hard work, our team has successfully combined Wi-Fi and peer to peer technologies to create the ultimate file transfer experience across multiple platforms. Device to Device. No servers involved. No cloud involved.
No Internet means the government and the NSA can not spy on you. No Internet also means unlimited file transfers. Dropbox, e-mail and iCloud all have file transfer limits.
Our team has gone through incredible lengths to make Feem work across multiple platforms. We are proud to announce that Feem works natively on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Windows Metro, Windows Desktop, Linux and Mac OS X.
All this effort has paid off.
Feem has been downloaded on more than half a million devices already. We estimate Feem has already saved the world millions of dollars in bandwidth costs.
What makes you different from competitors?
Everyone with a smartphone, tablet or PC device will at one point want to transfer files to other devices. Transferring files between devices has become a very difficult task for many smartphone, tablet and PC users.
The difficulty arises because files have become heavier, and competing operating systems don't work well together. Privacy has also become a major concern post-Snowden.
Most users (will) prefer sending files to their various devices over Wi-Fi rather than via Bluetooth (very slow) or USB sticks (doesn't work between mobile devices) or the cloud (slow, expensive, privacy issues).
Lenovo recognized this market opportunity and decided to launch a similar Wi-Fi file transfer product called ShareIt. Apple also recognized this opportunity and launched AirDrop.
Existing Wi-Fi file transfer products are meant only for individual use. There is an opportunity here for Feem which is ideal for individuals, family members at home, students in a classroom, or colleagues in an office.
Why did apply to DEMO?
Here at FeePerfect Cameroon, we build dreams. Our latest product, Feem Wi-Fi, was originally built for Africans.
It turned out that people out of Africa were using Feem more than Africans themselves! Half a million people all over the world are using Feem, and almost none of them are from Africa.
We are partly at fault here. Firstly, it was easier and cheaper for our team to market Feem out of Africa. Secondly, we tried as much as possible to hide our African identity on our product website to avoid any form of bias.
But this didn't feel right. The rest of the world was getting value out of our product, except our own people. We wanted to fix this wrong. For that, we needed exposure at a continental level. For that, we needed DEMO Africa.

If you give public employees guns, they will turn them on black people.
From the Harlem Renaissance to the Civil Rights Movement and beyond, powerful Black women writers have created a ripple effect, inspiring future generations of Black women to pen their own powerful narratives.
Trump's attempt to turn back the clock on the most vulnerable communities has to be fought in the courts, in the statehouses, and on the streets.
The standoff in the deep South between a black working-class community and a global auto giant reflects a broader anti-Trump resistance emerging in the labor movement, fueled by frustration with the empty promises of neoliberal "development" policies.


Summertime is for fun near the water, drinks with friends, and reggae music. Rebelution, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Collie Buddz, and Hirie, as well as DJ Mackle, invited all of Central Florida to a huge reggae bash — "The Good Vibes Summer Tour 2017" — a party that my friends and I just couldn't resist. We start the trip early in the afternoon at my crib in Orlando. Soon a few of my friends joined me, and we are on our way to pick up the fourth of our team on our way to the venue. We arrive in Cocoa and notice that even though it was early the crowd was thick with people lookin' to have a good time. While we wait to get our press passes, we watch as the last tickets get sold and a few disappointed people are turned away. Right then and there I knew that it was going to be a big night. Pushing into Riverfront Park, we enjoy the open spaces, nice views of the water, and cool shady spots from trees or from the circular veranda. We get some brewskis and go to the sound booth in order for The Sober Goat to set up his trusty camera.
Hirie is first up and comes to the stage with energy. A cool intro teases Bob Marley's "Exodus" into the "Zelda Theme" into her song "I Wanna Be" whic has a quick tease of "I want you back" by the Jackson 5. What an amazing way to come out. The crowd instantly stops what they are doing, mingling around the lawn and concessions, to gather in front of the stage for the first act of the night. This beautiful reggae band has six members and hails from Kaneohe, HI. Recently topping charts with their album Wandering Soul, Hirie is on their way to becoming a staple on reggae playlists and beach boomboxes everywhere. "Don't Take My Ganja" is a huge highlight for their set, featuring a sick solo by Rebelution saxophonist, Khris Royal. Check out a clip of "Don't Take My Ganja" from The Sober Goat's Instagram.
Hirie's set ended with a cover montage touching on SOJA, Matisyahu, Sublime, and others. Wow, what an opening act!
Check out the full set video of Hirie, thanks to The Sober Goat.
Next on the docket, after anther beer of course, is Collie Buddz! A dancehall/reggae singer, Collie Buddz is best known for his single "Mamasita" in 2007. Today he will be known for his distorted reverb vocals, and bass lines so heavy you can't pick them up off the floor. Check out a clip of "Come Around" from The Sober Goat's Instagram.
A "fog" moves in above the crowd and Buddz' funky reggae stylings lift the crowd up higher and higher. I'm so impressed with Drummer Stixx Mitchell as he blazes to the finish line with a stunner of a solo. I won't soon forget the name Collie Buddz.
Check out the full set video of Collie Buddz, thanks to The Sober Goat.
Nahko and Medcine for the People take the vibes higher with their turn. "All Can Be Done" is a great feel good song which features a fierce solo (4:45 min of The Sober Goat's video) by lead guitarist Chase Makai which couldn't be contained as he continues over the chorus as well. I love it!
Check out a clip of "Dear Brother (Peace In America)" from The Sober Goat's Instagram.
I have never seen a band that plays reggae music and has a violin in the group, but Tim Sniders makes it fit perfectly. Eric Rachmany of Rebelution sat in for their last song to spice things up. A great set of pop/surf-rock/reggae to lead us into the main entree for the evening.
Check out the full set video of Nahko, thanks to The Sober Goat.
This band played all of their great music. The SoCal squad start off smooth and bumpin' touching on "Heart like a Lion" which is a Sober Goat favorite.

Thinking minds don't need to do as much physical activity, so they spend more time swirling than the average person. In other words, you may be lazy because you are smarter than the average mortal. Buy the idea, don't you? Watch out, because that's what research by American psychologists at Appalachian State University in North Carolina and Gulf Coast University of Florida in Fort Myers suggests.
The study assumes that people with a high IQ become less bored because they have more to think about, and therefore spend long, self-absorbed moments carburating and enjoying their inner life, which results in less physical activity.
The researchers reached that conclusion after analyzing two groups of students, of 30 people each. While one showed a high Cognition Need (NFC), a term that in psychology defines people who enjoy making cognitive efforts, in the other that need did not exceed average levels. After being asked a series of questions, such as "do you like to face situations that make you think?", or "do you enjoy thinking?", or "do you like tasks that, once learned, don't need you to think too much?", the students were monitored by means of a device placed on their wrist that calibrated the physical effort made during the time of the study.
The results showed that they exercised much more between Mondays and Fridays, although not over the weekend. For Ares Anfruns, psychotherapist and coach of the Institut Gomà de Barcelona, "people with high intellectual capacities are characterized, among other things, by understanding complex and abstract ideas and possessing creative behaviour when it comes to finding solutions. Their great ability is their thinking mind and it is there where they spend many more hours than other people elaborating ideas, creating different scenarios of the same situation, associating different contexts and looking for different results. Due to this condition their rhythm to move into action and 'get going' is different from that of others; it is not that they don't do it but that they slow it down. In my opinion, it is not laziness that defines them but a different rhythm".
It is clear that the question is not simple, and that it cannot be summed up by stating only that a high IQ conditions people to be more sedentary. Nor that, on the contrary, people with a rather low IQ do not enjoy contemplative life and cognitive challenges, the study authors told the Washington Post.
The thing is more subtle. There are also differences between people who are equally skilled and who, for example, perform the same engineering work in the same company. A priori it would seem that the level of physical activity that their activity demands should be similar for both. But if one has the highest NFC, it is stimulated when it has to face complex problems at the computer, which leads it to spend long periods of time thinking in front of the screen. The other, not so much in need of intellectual challenges, is rather overwhelmed and proceeds to invest more time away from his table, either going to the bathroom more times or taking advantage of the midday break to go do some sport: it moves more.
Previous studies we counted in BuenaVida, pointed out that brilliant minds need more time in solitude, which gives them more time to think.
"I distinguish four classes: the intelligent, the workers, the fools and the lazy. In most cases there are two qualities. The intelligent and hard-working are for the General Staff; the others, the fools and lazy, make up 90% of all armies and are very fit for routine tasks. He who is intelligent and, at the same time, lazy, qualifies for the highest command tasks, because he provides the mental clarity and poise necessary to make weighty decisions. He who is foolish and hardworking must be protected; no responsibility can be delegated to him, for he will always cause some misfortune.
You see, that touch of vagrancy that your friends attribute to you may have its point. If you're poked about it, you can always give them such an interesting argument, or you can also give them a couple of famous phrases about it. Bill Gates' is the one: "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because he will find an easy way to do it. And with Oscar Wilde's, he'll finish off the job: "Do nothing".

South Asian Bar Association of Toronto celebrates award winners
Tuesday, November 21, 2017 @ 2:07 PM | By Carolyn Gruske
Lexis Advance® Quicklaw®
Research Pod
Case(s):
Stargrove Entertainment Inc. v. Universal Music Publishing Group Canada 2015 Comp. Trib. 26
Don't have Lexis Advance Quicklaw?
The South Asian Bar Association (SABA) honoured two lawyers and one organization at its annual SABA Awards.
Sangeetha Punniyamoorthy, DLA Piper
Tejinder Singh won the president's award; Sangeetha Punniyamoorthy took home the legal excellence award; and the Canadian Cross Border Legal Coalition (CCBLC) earned the title of diversity award winner.
Punniyamoorthy is an equity partner at DLA Piper. She is a specialist in intellectual property (IP) litigation and has over a decade of experience litigating copyright, patent and trademark matters. Punniyamoorthy, who has an undergraduate degree in molecular biology, also provides advice in the procurement and enforcement of global brands in a variety of industries, with a focus on pharmaceuticals.
She is chair of the Ontario Bar Association's information technology and IP law section and is an active member of the Canada amicus subcommittee of the International Trademarks Association. Punniyamoorthy also mentors young lawyers through SABA.
In announcing her award, SABA said Punniyamoorthy "has been involved in incredibly complex IP litigation disputes, including numerous cross-border cases and high profile transactions. Notably, in 2016 she was the lead copyright lawyer in Stargrove Entertainment v. Universal et al., the first IP case to be granted leave to proceed by the Competition Tribunal. Sangeetha has appeared before all levels of court in her practice, including the Supreme Court of Canada."
The legal excellence award recognizes lawyers who have achieved excellence in their areas of practice or have exceptionally contributed to the profession. Successful candidates need not have reached a senior level position, however their track record reflects a strong potential for distinction and leadership.
"Known for her technical expertise and her dedication to client service, Sangeetha is a driving force behind our firm's world-class IP practice," said Michael Richards, managing partner of DLA Piper's Toronto office. "We are thrilled to see her receive this well-deserved recognition."
The diversity award goes to an individual or organization that has demonstrated exemplary commitment to the promotion and recognition of diversity in the legal profession. SABA described the Canadian Cross Border Legal Coalition as having originated from "a commitment to protecting the dignity of those who had become targets of official government discrimination."
Led by Toronto human rights lawyer Corey Shefman, the organization originally began as a group of lawyers who began volunteering at Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop Airport in January and February 2017 to assist travellers who were affected by the ban American President Donald Trump imposed on travellers from eight different Muslim countries. The volunteers ensured there was a lawyer present at all times to assist stranded passengers who were no longer able to enter the United States.
In introducing the organization, SABA explained, "the coalition was subsequently born out of these efforts. It brings together volunteer lawyers, law students and organizations such as the Refugee Hub, the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, in a joint, ongoing effort to oppose the ban as it stands today, as well as assist those who are impacted. The coalition remains active in monitoring U.S. government efforts to revive the ban."
Singh, who won the president's award, is a U.S.-based lawyer who is a partner and an appellate and Supreme Court litigator at Goldstein & Russell P.C., which describes itself as a boutique firm focusing on representation before the United States Supreme Court. In 2014, he became the first turbaned Sikh to ever argue in court.

Q: how to sorting column id and Column name I've uploaded the pdf document to the mysql database. but I do not pay attention when uploading data sorting techniques in alphabetical on the column name.
then I want to sort the data in alphabetical pdf file for indexing.
$sql="SELECT * FROM upload ORDER BY name ASC";

My problem is, how to be able to sort the records in the column names in alphabetical order alphabet and id columns can also be ordered starting with number 1? How to do it?
it is my source code :

No.
File Name
File Type
File Size(KB)
View

<?php
$sql="SELECT * FROM upload ORDER BY name ASC";

$result_set=mysql_query($sql);
$nomor=1;
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result_set))
$nomor++;
{
    ?>

    <?php echo $row['name'] ?>
    <?php echo $row['type'] ?>
    <?php echo $row['size'] ?>
    <a href="fileupload/<?php echo $row['name']?>" target="_blank">view file

    <?php
}

?>

A: Not really sure I understand what you ask but if you want to order on name and or id simply do this
$sql="SELECT * FROM upload ORDER BY name ASC, id ASC";
It will start by ordering on name then on Id. You will see a difference only if you have duplicate names.
Also you don't care about sorting when you insert data, as you don't care about indexing ordering. You index a field to be able to sort faster.
If you want to sort on name and on id then you have to use a variable
$sort = $_GET['sort'] ?: 'name'; // défaut sorting on name

$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ... ORDER BY $sort ASC"; //careful about SQL injection, protect $sort value with the escape method provided by your driver.

You have to give all information for sorting in GET parameters. Look into phpmyadmin URL you will see them.

Les discours de la traductologie en France (1970-2010) : analyse et critique
(Translation science in France (1970-2010) : a critical analysis)
Starting from J. Guillemin-Flescher's paper published in the 2003 RFLA issue devoted to translation, this contribution re-examines her classification of theoretical models contrasting it to current practice. The theoretical discourse on translation is considered in relation to the greater porosity between independent disciplinary subjects (literature, linguistics and "civilization") as well as to the development of translation studies in France. A new categorization taking into account the complex history of their interaction as well as their relation to the very concepts of theory and practice and to more recent developments is thus suggested.
Françoise CANON-ROGER (Reims)
Traduction et réélaboration interprétative
(Translation and interpretative reworking)
Translators translate texts, not languages. The linguistic approaches that fail to take into account their semiotic characteristics are inadequate. It is more appropriate to maintain traductology and translation within the tradition of hermeneutics that deals with texts as cultural objects. Translation is an interpretative reworking of texts whose aim is transmission. Text semantics provides a single theoretical framework for a top-down approach to interpretation and translation. A typology of genres would benefit the practice of translation since local determinations result from generic constraints. Semantic figures and backgrounds evolve and change thus determining textual passages whose boundaries are set in the course of interpretation. It is at this local level, and irrespective of the linear order of speech or writing, that the process of translation is carried out.

Question, mise en question : la traduction de l'interrogation dans le discours théorique
(Interrogative sentences in French and their counterparts in English academic discourse)
The aim of this article is to contrast interrogative sentences in French with their English counterparts in academic discourse, using a sample of translated examples. Questions are highly frequent in French, but not in English. In French, questions involve the addressee as a fictitious anchor-point without taking his / her point of view into account. In English, interrogative sentences appear either in embedded position or as supplements. Enunciative location may only be achieved by the main clause. In this way, modal – as opposed to intersubjective – distancing is created in English.

De la traduction intralinguale à la traduction interlinguale : le cas des verbes introducteurs en roumain et en français
(From intralingual to interlingual translation: introductory verbs in French and Rumanian)
Verbs of saying are traditionally analysed as semantically dependent on the extralinguistic environment in which direct speech occurs. It is however argued here that there is a two-way relation of mutual dependency between the reporting phrase and the reported utterance, the introductory verb being seen as a contextual "translation" marker dependent on the reported clause. The degree of mutual semantic dependency between reporting verb and reported clause varies according to text type and to language-specific strategies, leading to the question of what is meant, in contrastive terms, by "faithful" translation of such verbs.

How to make do with one verb: a corpus-based contrastive study of do and make
This paper compares do/make in several related European languages, some having two different verbs at their disposal (e.g. do and make in English) and others having to make do with just one verb (e.g. French faire). Using translation corpus data, we demonstrate that, while there are similarities between some of these verbs (especially when the languages belong to the same group, i.e. have either one or two verbs), there are also considerable differences in the functions these verbs can perform or the preferences they exhibit, which results in a generally low degree of equivalence in translations. Our study also presents some results from an experiment aiming to establish the cognitively most salient functions of the different verbs. These results confirm the existence of differences among do/make verbs, and also show that frequency in language does not necessarily imply salience in the mind.

Massive bilingual corpora which can now be compiled with the available computing facilities are particularly relevant to conduct linguistic research in translation studies. The corpus of legal documents of the European Acquis have been aligned and investigated with two software packages, ALINEA and PARACONC. These corpora once aligned provide translation memories and terminology databases for a given field. Dealing with legal and technical documents in which recurring passages are frequent, professional translators improve the consistency and productivity of their production significantly.

By means of the notions of behavioural classes, marking and morphosyntactic markers this paper shows that all the translation (or Machine Translation) problems that arise when translating gender from French into English or vice-versa can be predicted a priori at a lexical level, for all the linguistic items concerned. It also proves that systematic solutions to these problems can be found and implemented. The approach defended here for French and English can be applied to other languages or language pairs, and to other linguistic categories, and could thus contribute to the improvement of Machine Translation systems.

Brave New Globalized World? Translation Studies and English as a Lingua Franca
While "global" English is today a reality that translators have to face in their everyday work, little research has yet been done into the implications of English as a lingua franca (ELF) for translation studies. After briefly looking at academic writings on ELF per se, I propose to introduce a distinction between different levels of competence of ELF-users and to examine the role that they may play firstly as initiators, then as translators (whether translating out of or into English), and finally as readers of texts. I then turn my attention to the way in which "ordinary" translators have necessarily to develop strategies in order to deal with ELF texts. In the final part of the paper, I look at the ways in which ELF should encourage translation theorists both to question the way in which they conceive of the translation operation, and to reconsider some of the key concepts that are commonly used, in particular the relationship pertaining between a source text and its translation.
Kirsten MALMKJÆR (Middlesex, Grande-Bretagne)
What is Translation Competence?
This article seeks to throw light on the notion of translation competence by way of a comparison with, on the one hand, the notion of linguistic competence and, on the other, competence as a notion operating in social life. I argue for a notion closer to the concept of Linguistic Competence than is customarily presented in the translation studies literature, suggesting that such a notion would go some way towards explaining data derived from studies of young interpreters and would be compatible with findings in the neurolinguistic study of bilingualism.

Premier League striker's new job
Former Premier League striker Rob Hulse is working as a physiotherapist in the U.K.'s public health service after the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) helped him make a succesful career transition.
Hulse played in more than 350 games for clubs including West Bromwich Albion, Sheffield United, Leeds United and Derby County but decided he wanted to pursue a new career outside football.
He now treats amputees and the elderly in a hospital in Dudley, England, "dealing with quite emotional stuff: people at the end of their life, people desperately trying to get onto prostheses (artificial limbs) and get walking again."
Hulse, 39, said he finds the work challenging but very rewarding. "There are highs and lows each day working in a hospital," he said.
FIFPro is featuring Hulse's video interview with the PFA as part of the 'Mind the Gap' campaign to help player unions advise footballers on life after football.
Hulse received help from the PFA in the final years of his 15-year career as a player to start a physiotherapy degree at the University of Salford. The player union helped him enroll on courses, arrange work placements and financed 80% of his education costs.
He graduated last year with a first-class degree.
Pat Lally, director of the PFA education department, said he was proud of the former striker's career transition, noting Hulse was using the teamwork and communication skills he used in football.
"All players have numerous transferable skills," Lally said. "It's just a matter of finding a suitable career to transfer those skills into."
Hulse advises footballers to explore what they are interested in before planning for a new career.
"There is life after football.
"You need to find something that you love, something that you are passionate about, and that will make life so much easier.
"Start planning, start thinking about what you want to do and then go for it."

At least 2 dead, 20 injured after van crashes into pedestrians in German city of Muenster
Doug Stanglin
A driver of a delivery truck plowed into a crowd of pedestrians Saturday in the German city of Muenster, killing at least two people and injuring 20 before fatally shooting himself, German officials said.
Herbert Reul, the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state where Muenster is located, said the driver of the van was a German citizen. He stressed the investigation is at an early stage but "nothing speaks for there being any Islamist background."
Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper identified the driver as a 49-year-old German with a history of psychological problems.
Adreas Bode, spokesman for the German police, said six of the injured were in severe condition.
The driver slammed into people sitting in front of the Kiepenkerl pub, a popular gathering place for residents and tourists in Muenster's historic old town, then shot and killed himself inside the vehicle.
Photographs of the scene posted on social media show strewn tables and chairs.
Police cordoned off a wide section of the area after finding a suspicious object inside the vehicle.
Muenster Mayor Markus Lewe said the reason for the crash is still unclear.
"Our thoughts are with the victims and their families," a spokeswoman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
Muenster, with a population of 300,000, is located in northwest Germany in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia about 30 miles from the Dutch border.
In 2016 in Berlin, the driver of a stolen truck plowed the vehicle into a crowd of people attending the Christmas market in a public square, killing 12 people.

I always wanted something to do in retirement that that would be both challenging and fun. I couldn't envision myself playing golf only during the summer months so I decided to build and fly my own airplane. Looked around at all of the offerings from the kit manufacturers and finally decided on a Zenith CH 750 STOL aircraft.
With the help of my hangar partner who was building a Zenith 650 the journey began. We traveled to the factory in Mexico, Missouri, rented a truck one way and brought both kits back with us. It was seven years in the making but I finally got my airworthiness certificate in November 2018 and completed my first flight in January 2019.
I painted the airplane by rolling it on with marine polyurethane paint. Found the vinyl graphics on the internet and applied them myself. Decided upon a Viking 110 to power the aircraft and am very pleased with the final product.
I retired in December and now looking forward to discovering all the small airfields in Michigan with my wife who has been very supportive throughout the whole process.
Nice job on your 750! I will start in mine in about six weeks. I am curious what kind of marine paint you used and what surface prep was done prior to painting.

Students will benefit from challenging themselves & their expectations of their bodies.

A Tribute to Stacey McInroe Conner
on Friday, 31 October 2008.
Posted By Bill Baughn
Stacey McInroe Conner, a wonderful volunteer and member of the North Texas Amputee Support Group, died at 4:35 a.m on Thursday May 24, 1990.
On June 21st, she would have been twenty-three years old. Her death resulted from head injuries she sustained Wednesday afternoon while working with the horses she loved. Stacey was alone at the time of the accident so just what happened is unclear. A two-year-old horse was being held by a lead rope tied around Stacey's waist. Something apparently frightened the horse, who bolted, dragging Stacey for a distance and causing fatal head injuries.
Stacey was a unique, important individual and her loss diminishes our organization and me, personally. Stacey was born without arms and used her feet, but this fact was just the superficial Stacey, what people noticed, what set her physically apart from most others.
What made Stacey truly unique was the person she was. Driving to Stephenville, for Stacey's funeral, Joyce and I alternated between tears and laughter. Tears for the personal loss we both feel and because we failed to realize how much she meant to us until it was too late. Laughter in recalling the joyous moments she shared with us.
What I remember first about Stacey is laughter. It was impossible to be in her presence and be unhappy. Stacey was very intelligent and had a zest for living that was contagious. She had a talent for fracturing the English language and could be funniest when she didn't intend to be. When she had an opinion you didn't have to ask her to clarify it. When she finished speaking you knew how she felt. I remember Joyce mentioning buying an Epilady Hair Removal System. Stacey made it abundantly clear just what she thought of paying good money for something that yanked your hair out by the roots!
When I think of Stacey I remember beauty. Physical beauty, but also a beauty of spirit. Her smile and bubbly personality illuminated everyone around her.
Less than two years ago she discovered the methods, which allowed her to be totally independent for the first time. When she drove to our June meeting last year it was the first time she had been able to travel alone and I remember the pride that was evident when she arrived having made the trip with no problems. From this point on, she seemed to blossom. In just the past year she made a parachute jump over San Marcos, Texas and went snow skiing in Colorado.
Stacey genuinely liked herself but not in a self-centered way for she was committed to helping others, especially upper extremity amputee children. She found much joy in her independence and was committed to helping children experience it at an earlier age than she had.
In an interview with Jess Williams, Editor of the Stephenville Empire- Tribune Stacey Said: "When I was a kid they sent me to Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas all the time and they kept trying to fit me with artificial arms. I never could get used to them, though, and it took me awhile to decide that I didn't want to be fixed because I wasn't broken.
"I'd like to go back there someday and help kids with no arms learn to use their feet. There's nothing you can do with your hands that I can't do with my feet. That's what they should be teaching those kids. I could teach them that."
Stacey understood and accepted the public's curiosity about how she did things and would go out of her way to explain how independent she was. She rejected terms like courageous and amazing. She wanted people to know that using her feet was normal.
"It's not amazing at all," she said. "It's not a miracle. If you didn't have arms, you'd do it too."
"I had a choice," she said. "I could have chosen to be an invalid and have everybody take care of me all the time, or I could have chosen to be independent. I chose independence. There are some days I wake up and wonder `why me?', but I don't let it get to me. I just do what I have to do. I'm no different from anyone else in my attitudes or my wants and needs. I'm human too.
"It's all up here," she said, pointing to her temple with her big toe. "I can do anything I want to do if I tell myself I can do it and if I really try. God challenged me. He said, `OK, kid. You've got a lot of obstacles there.' But I like to find ways around them. I guess when I die, I kind of hope He'll pat me on the head and say, `You did a hell of a good job.'"
Indeed you did, Stacey, indeed you did.

"Having just completed an extended lunch with our kids, I felt I needed to take notice of the Anselmi San Vincenzo 2007. This Italian wine emanates from Veneto, in North East Italy which is made up of several white grape varietalsthus regarded as a "dry white wine" (80% Garganega, 15% Chardonnay, 5% Soave Trebbiano). At approximately $12/bottle this wines are perfect for some drinking at the beach or in your porch and it is certainly enough quality to accompany a lunch of lobster risotto (mainly because it did today).

Two billion people lack adequate access to medical products like blood and vaccines due to rugged terrain and poorly built infrastructure.
Meet Zipline.
Zipline is a company making lifesaving deliveries by what they call "Zips" and we know as "Drones."
You know, those little, remote controlled flying machines that forced the FAA to set height limits to protect jetliners known as
The name Drones has a bad rep. Zipline created their own term, "Zips" to avoid any negative association.
The company started in Kigali, Rwanda where a young woman who just gave birth by C-section was losing blood.
Doctors could not stop the bleeding. Ordering blood from the nearest blood bank and then sending it 25 miles over crackled rock and mountainous roads would take four hours.
She was about to die.
Clinic workers and a flight staff loaded a group of small remote-controlled aircraft with the necessary supplies and launched them into the sky.
In 45 minutes, seven units of blood, four units of plasma, and two units of platelets, circulated into that young woman's body.
They saved her life.
This is what the company Zipline partakes in on a daily basis.
Their logo color is #E73C3E red. This symbolizes the emergency situations they tackle on a daily basis, including the delivery of blood to save lives.
Two symmetrical paper planes form the letter "Z" in the logomark.
This logo is clever, relevant, and symmetrical. The red represents the vaccines, medicine, and blood that its fleet of Zips delivers across Rwanda.
The logo is a perfect and witty summary of a life-saving business model. And the use of two paper planes to form the letter "Z" is a creative gem that makes this logo iconic and gorgeous.
Zipline is a simple logo design in the Hospitality, Medical & Pharmacy, Non-Profit and Technology industries.
